Judge finalizes jury verdict in Johnny Depp's trial, requiring Amber Heard to pay him millions of dollars

• There was no settlement before the deadline.

• The jury found that he owes her $2 million and that he owes her $10 million.

• Heard will appeal the verdict, according to a spokesman for the actress.

There was no chance that the two actors would reach a settlement before the verdict was finalized.

Heard's representative said she would appeal the verdict.

The jury in the case decided on June 1 that the two people had made false statements about each other.

The decision was in favor of the man. He was awarded $10 million in compensation and an additional $5 million in punitive damages by the jury. Heard was awarded just one victory out of her three counterclaims.

The jury verdict was not entered into the docket immediately by the judge. She said that they had until June 24 to come up with a settlement and that she would enter the case. The jury verdict would stand if they didn't reach a settlement.

Lawyers for the two celebrities told the judge that there wasn't a settlement. The jury verdict was entered into the docket. Her order stated that the amount owed by each party was subject to an annual interest rate. There was no one present in the courthouse.

A statement was issued by a Heard spokesman that made reference to Republican members of Congress asking for pardons in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.

"You don't ask for a pardon if you're not guilty," the spokesman said. You don't decline to appeal if you know you're correct.

In an exhibit attached to Azcarate's order Friday, Depp's attorneys objected to the $2 million judgment against him, leaving the possibility that he may appeal that part of the verdict.

In an interview with "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos shortly after the trial, Benjamin Chew, an attorney for the actor, suggested that a settlement could be possible. He said that if Heard agreed not to appeal the verdict, the monetary damages would be waiving.

In her own interview after the trial, Heard said she stood by her testimony that she was physically abused by the actor. Azcarate was able to reduce her damages because of state law. One of Heard's lawyers said that the actress wouldn't be able to pay the $8.35 million balance due to Johnny Depp.

No settlement was reached over the case. A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days.
