proven all the elements of defamation answer yes well i guess he didn't just win the public i guess he didn't win the just the public court of opinion boys i guess he won in the [ __ ] actual court too inventory implications due to circumstances surrounding the publication of this statement it conveyed bro the morals of stories listen if you're an abusive person don't write a [ __ ] article about uh being a victim of domestic violence do you find that mr depp has proven by clear and convincing evidence that's all i'm going to say acted with actual malice even if you yourself are a victim of domestic violence in certain points don't be a violent domestic abuser and then [ __ ] write an article about how you were the victim award compensatory damages because if they hadn't settled this 10 million dollars like they originally did against amber heard and she didn't [ __ ] go on this conquest this would not have happened straight up in civil case number cl 2019 2911. also those lawyers are the worst lawyers in america like literally one as to this did you say she would win though i said there's no [ __ ] shot given the standard and how much higher is in the united states this has never happened her friends in the media like a similar court case has been won in the uk where the standards on the other party lost depending on the united states some of her sexual violence hoax facts as the sword and flick inflicting them on the public and mr depp do you find that ms heard has proven all the elements of defamation answer no two as to this statement appearing in the april 27 2020 online edition of the daily mail do you find that ms heard has proven all the elements of defamation answer yes that yeah has misheard proven this stuff was that was evident 100 question mr

the beginning of the end of miss herd's abuse hoax against johnny depp end quote do you find that ms heard has proven all the elements of defamation answer no as against john c depp ii we the jury award compensatory damages in the amount of two million dollars as against john c depp the second we the jury award punitive damages in the amount of zero dollars jamie damn that's enough that's enough money that she has that's your verdict and then circulated to miss predator in a united states court jackson's noted on it you legit say johnny wouldn't have won i i did not think johnny depp would have won this in the american court system the first amendment is profoundly important okay this has never happened in my opinion i i don't think this has ever happened we looked at famous instances of defamation uh we had we looked at famous instances of defamation suits in the united states of america there was only one instance where someone actually settled out of court but never actually won inside the courtroom no you missed the beginning it was 10 mil 5 mil 2 mil those are the ones i caught jiren during this trial holy [ __ ] when i wow wow yep so johnny depp won not only did he win he won in a triumphant fashion not a single thing when amber's way none not a single one at least none that i caught granted i'm a little late but none that i caught over the last like 30 minutes it was johnny all [ __ ] day they there was nothing in amber's side holy [ __ ] i know i i know i'm late it's been storming i wasn't gonna stream during a storm because i figured it's just gonna take the power out but the second i started seeing i mean i live in tampa okay let me explain so i was gonna stream today because i figured today would probably be the last day but it's been storming all morning like a big storm and in florida we basically keep like all of our infrastructure just outside in the open air so when it rains like even just a light drizzle power just goes out like if someone drinks water too close to you know the electric company it'll take out the power for the whole city so i figured there's no point in streaming because it'll just take power out at some point but when i was watching this and it just started to be this cascade of dubs for johnny depp i couldn't help but hop on every single one of them went to johnny depp it was nothing but yeses across the board that was [ __ ] wild the only word for the turd today was no on her side of things they declined all of her [ __ ] now i may have missed something in between starting stream and stopping watching here but i'm pretty sure it was 13 million dollars to johnny depp in total zero to amber it was 15 million it was 15 million to johnny and two to amber okay that's [ __ ] wild what did she get money for i don't know i must have missed that one in between starting stream and stopping watching so someone's gonna have to tell me the turd got flushed this was such a wash so from what i'm understanding the reason they awarded amber the the two million is because of waldman right is that what it was amber proved that someone representing depp made false claims and tried to use it to defame her is that was that the waldman thing there were so many people here so many characters in this i can't remember i mean that two million dollars is nothing because now she owes 13 million to johnny depp so she still profited negative 13 from the trial johnny won 80 of this he won 90 of this it seems the only thing was the waldman statements which awarded amber a little bit yeah johnny won and it wasn't even close there's a 350k cap what does that mean i've seen a couple people say that what is the 350k cap 15 mil plus 350k in reimbursement you can only pay out 350k under virginia law for defamation so what does that mean then so when they say we the jury award in punitive damages to death 10 million they can only pay out 350k of that oh he won 10 million for the damages done to his career and 350k for the definition defamation statements ah okay so 350k of the five million of punitive damages okay so yeah he won 10.35 mil it would be minus two mil winning money was probably the least of his concerns he just wanted to clear his name in the public eye which he did like triumphantly you see asmin got 4k subs in five minutes oh yeah asmin was getting because i was watching it a little bit and i turned on asman stream asman is getting like uh subs as if they were supporting johnny depp by subbing to him it was really [ __ ] cute amber posted on twitter is it like a sad face because god damn disappointment i feel today is beyond words heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power influence and sway of my ex oh my god this is this is tragic to read the mountain of evidence which was multiple times debunked questioned and proven to be inaccurate yikes yeah i just saw the amber heard tweet that's absolutely pre-written but it's also very uh yucky she's still trying to make it seem like it was an attack against women that no one will believe women which i think is couldn't be further from the truth
