Johnny Depp Trial

Got it. $2 million for her. Hopefully he can subtract it from what she owes him. Not that he’ll ever see it.

The winners? All the attorneys!

So, he has to "give" her $2M and she has to give him $15M.

Sounded to me like $5M of that $15M was for punitive damages, and for some legal reason the judge knocked it down to $350K. But I could be wrong! Hopefully the commentators will figure it out for us.

Where did you hear about the judge knocking it down to 350k? I didn’t hear that during the courtroom scene and haven’t heard any commentators say anything about it yet.

Netted to $8M for JD because punitive damages of $5M had to be cut to $350k, so total awarded to him is $10.35M and nets with $2M to AH that she owes him $8.35M.

Yes it was said in court that it was knocked down to the maximum of $350k

I thought I heard the judge say something about punitive damages being capped at $350,000.

 

[leeniewdw]

She definitely said something about $350k in the courtroom but I couldn't figure out what specifically she was saying (and IANAL so I probably wouldn't understand anyway lol)

 

[dez1978]

I think that it knocked compensetory damages to 350k. Punitive damages stand

 

[KingLlama]

Well, at least Amber's lawyers can now go back to their regular jobs.

Apparently it’s a cap for the state of Virginia to award a max of $350,000

Yes, he was awarded $10M and $350,000. According to the you tube lawyer Emily Baker, listening to her live now

I am not sure what your abbreviation stands for, but probably not how I read it lol

I think it’s I Am Not A Lawyer

The other way around. Apparently a VA statute has a max on punitive.

Thank you. I stand corrected

I hope the jury realized that - they might have awarded Depp more for compensatory if they’d known their 2mil punitive would be knocked down considerably. I mean he won’t see a dime anyway, and he’s probably not hurting for money, but still… principle of the thing.

If he is found innocent, does Jack Sparrow return for POTC 6?

I saw something yesterday about Dwayne Johnson might be considered for both Jack Sparrow and Genie roles. I hope Johnny can come back!!!
