Jury awards Depp $10 million compensatory/ $350,000 punitive
Jury awards Heard $2 million compensatory/ $0 punitive
My prediction is that they won't appeal and that no money exchanges hands and they both go their own way after this, imo, unnecessary trial.

$5 million in punative damages; the judge reduced it to $350,000, I believe, as the limited allowed.
