Normally Cockburn regards himself as well above the mere paparazzi — or at least too dissolute to properly operate a camera. But he happily made an exception on Wednesday to catch the verdict in the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial, held at the Fairfax County Courthouse just outside his native Washington, DC.
It was the region’s most captivating trial of an unstable blonde since the Clinton impeachment. And sure enough, the jury found that Heard had defamed Depp, and that Depp had defamed Heard. Yet while Depp was awarded $15 million, Heard was only awarded $2 million, all of it in compensatory as opposed to punitive damages.
It’s a win for Depp, and Cockburn will have much more to come from the courthouse. In the meantime, enjoy this video of the moment Depp supporters learned their idol had prevailed:
