Depp and Heard fans express their support as the trial draws to a close`

Depp goes to the top

Depp emerges victorious and is acquitted of violence and faces a prison sentence of up to $50 million, the amount Depp is suing his ex-wife for.

What if she can’t pay?

“Well then you get into all kinds of trouble, negotiate over time how it gets paid, people file for bankruptcy. There aren’t many people who have that kind of money,” commented David Banks, an expert

Decision in favor of Heard

If the jury rules in Amber Heard’s favor and it is proven that Johnny Depp is indeed guilty of domestic violence, they could award her up to $100 million in damages, which is exactly the amount she is pitting his ex-husband against.

Victory but no damage

There could be a third option in the haze: you could opt for one of them, but decide to scrap the financial amends for the trial.

What could happen if they don’t make a joint decision?

The seven jurors must come to a unanimous decision, failure to do so could result in a mistrial and it is up to both parties to come to an agreement and seek a new trial.

Appeal

As with any civil case, there is the possibility of an appeal, which expert David Banks believes is very likely.

Speaking specifically about the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, he said: “It’s very damaging to its reputation and its marketability. So I would be surprised if the jury found against him that he would leave it at that.”
