Washington:
The verdict in the high-profile defamation case between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard has been delivered, with the jury finding Ms Heard defamed Mr Depp. The seven-person Virginia jury has been deliberating for about 13 hours over three days in Fairfax County Circuit Court near the US capital.
The 58-year-old Depp filed suit against Heard over an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in December 2018 in which she described herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse."
The 36-year-old Heard countersued for $100 million, saying she was defamed by statements made by Depp's lawyer, Adam Waldman, who told the Daily Mail her abuse claims were a "hoax."
Here are the Highlights on the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial verdict:
