Why are people omitting the fact that he lost too?

Hers is bigger than his.

It's the stupidest verdict I've ever seen. They only threw her a bone because you just can't have a female lose to a man in this day and age. The jurists we're probably scared that they'd be invaded by the me too crazies. God forbid a man could just win out over a female. He was the clear winner throughout the proceedings. It's shameful.

$2 million vs $15 million

Because even when women are shown to be liars, society isn't entirely willing to condemn them.

This was a step in the right direction though.

Pretty sure the bish can take it out of the $8m or whatever she owes him LOL.

He has to pay because the jury decided his lawyer was acting as his spokesperson when he accused Amber and her friends of trashing the apartment themselves. Not because she was a victim of domestic violence, as anyone who has followed the trial at all knows full well at this point.

Probably because that's a misrepresentation of what the jury actually found. They didn't find 'she didn't lie about being a victim of domestic violence.'

Depp could not have won on his three claims if they had reached that conclusion.

Heard won on one count of her counterclaim. It was the claim that Heard had effectively attempted to hoax the police. This specific claim was found to be false, per the evidence and testimony of law enforcement officers. The attending officers said in court that they found no evidence of a hoax, because they found no evidence of anything and Heard failed to cooperate.

So the jury found she didn't attempt to hoax the police. Which is a fair conclusion.

So, yes, Depp lost too -- on one specific claim -- but broadening that to the jury finding 'she didn't lie about being a victim of domestic violence' is wholly contradicted by the two counts on which Heard lost in her counterclaim. And the fact that Depp could not have won his own suit had the jury believed that.

this is incorrect, as other's will describe much better than me. Depp also won't have to pay her anything. He got a winning of 1.3 million while she only got 2 million. So amber loses while Depp gains 8 million. He probably won't see any of that but that's not the point. The point is, the man's character has been vindicated and Amber shown to be a psycho. That's work more than any amount of money.
