The trial stretched over several months and became something of a cultural phenomenon as millions of Americans watched the televised proceedings.
Ostensibly a defamation case, the trial frequently devolved into ugly mudslinging as both Depp and Heard took the stand over multiple days denying each other's abuse allegations and accusing each other of horrible behavior during their brief marriage. At the courthouse and across the country, Depp's supporters backed him fervently, and Heard was routinely mocked as she detailed allegations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse.
The ruling at the Virginia court in Depp's favor came after a judge in the United Kingdom ruled against Depp in a libel suit he brought there against a British tabloid. The judge in that 2020 case concluded that Heard had indeed been subject to abuse at Depp's hands on multiple occasions.

But then there’s also the feeling that I’m letting my patients down if I don’t make my voice heard and go on strike,' nurse Maxine Wade told Sky News Australia. Around 600 troops will be drafted in to drive ambulances during the strikes, with other personnel taking on support roles, but the union argues the servicemen and women are not trained to mitigate the loss of staff from the strikes.
