The jury sided with actor Johnny Depp in his libel suit against ex-wife Heard, vindicating his allegations that Heard lied about Depp abusing her before and during their brief marriage, but the jury also found that Heard was defamed by one of Depp’s lawyers, who accused her of creating a detailed hoax.

A flare burns at Venture Global LNG in Cameron, La., April 21, 2022. The new facility, which exports liquefied natural gas, is one of several like it along the Gulf Coast — and tmore are proposed for Louisiana and Texas. The U.S. has become the world’s largest exporter of LNG, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine heightened demand for the fuel as countries in Europe cut their reliance on Russian energy. But the U.S. expansion of LNG facilities has come with consequences for Gulf Coast residents threatened by extreme weather, and for the planet threatened by greenhouse gases. Natural gas from the Permian Basin in Texas and other areas is sent by pipeline to the export facilities. It is then cooled and liquefied, making it possible to send much greater quantities by ship to Asia, Europe and other places that are hungry for natural gas. (AP Photo / Martha Irvine)

CORRECTS TO DELETE THE MIDDLE NAME AND SAY HARBOUR WAS A VICTIM - Denise Spears holds a portrait of her late step-daughter Marsha Harbour, in her Meridian, Miss., office, Tuesday, April 12, 2022. Although Marsha's husband, Truitt Pace, admitted killing his wife, he was free on bond while court proceedings were partially held up because the Mississippi Medical Examiner's Office autopsy report was delayed for a year, and the trial got held up further because of the pandemic and other factors. Harbour was a victim of domestic violence. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis)
