Johnny Depp’s star lawyer Camille Vasquez is celebrating victory in a case that has catapulted her to fame. <\/p>\n
Ms Vasquez, who quickly became a source of internet fascination in the trial, hugged her colleagues after winning her client’s bombshell defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard. <\/p>\n
Speaking outside the courthouse in Virginia, Ms Vasquez underlined her affection for her movie star client, which was so palpable throughout the case it even sparked – albeit baseless – romance rumors.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday’s verdict confirms what we have said from the beginning – that the claims against Johnny Depp are defamatory and unsupported by any evidence,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
“We are grateful, so grateful to the jury for their careful deliberation.”<\/p>\n
Mr Depp won his case against Ms Heard after a six-week, televised trial. He was not present for the verdict.<\/p>\n
Ms Heard was ordered to pay the actor $ 15m in damages but the jury also awarded her $ 2m for one part of her own counterclaim.<\/p>\n
The jury found she was defamed by one of Depp’s lawyers, who accused her of creating a detailed hoax that included roughing up their apartment to look worse for police. <\/p>\n
