I mean, there are full and quite detailed recordings of conversations between them where Amber Heard in her own words admits to several acts of domestic violence. I'm not sure that I need a court to rule on that above and beyond hearing it directly from her. As I've said before though, a lot of people take those recordings as proof of Depp being 100% the victim and Heard being "the evil abuser" when if you actually listen with an unbiased ear to the recordings it's pretty clear that violence was a heavy feature of an unhealthy relationship all round from the start. As I also said there are elements of substance abuse wrapped up in there, too, and frankly mutual violence and manipulation is a common feature in such relationships. The narrative that Depp was just on the receiving end never really rang true.

I also agree with this, though... the outcome of a civil case (and in this case, not even a civil case involving the accuser, but against a newspaper) should never be taken as a legal indication/vindication. It is what it is and the burden of proof is completely different to a criminal trial.
