Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial verdict: What happens if there is an appeal

FOX 5's Chief Legal Correspondent Katie Barlow breaks down what the next steps would be if the legal teams for Amber Heard or Johnny Depp chose to appeal the jury's defamation ruling that awarded Depp $10.35 million and Heard $2 million in damages.

The trial broke the internet in real-time and prompted a new case in public opinion, with misinformation escalating and running rampart.

Depp sued Heard after a Washington Post op-ed Heard wrote in 2018 where she refers to herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." The trial took place in Fairfax last spring and ended with a jury siding with Depp, awarding him $15 million. However, the same jury also found Depp liable for a portion of Heard's counterclaim, awarding her $2 million.

Heard filed an appeal a month after the verdict. She decided to drop the appeal shortly after and settle with Depp.
