<p>The two-month-long trial was held in Fairfax, Virginia, during which the 'Aquaman'&nbsp;actress accused her ex-husband of domestic violence. After the six weeks long trial, the seven-member jury at Fairfax court sided with Johnny in the $50 million defamation case and agreed that Amber and her Washington Post op-ed had slandered not only Depp's image but also his career.</p>
