Topic	Johnny Depp loses libel case against newspaper that called him a wife beater.
WesternMedia 11/03/20 7:14:10 AM #24:	UnfairRepresent posted... The decision is not an indication of the quality of the journal The decision is that it wasn't a libellous claim. "I'm not a wifebeater, sure we beat each other and I threw a phone at her face but she's a bitch and did way worse than me" might convince people at the bar but in a civil libel suit? The claim needs to be flat out falsehood not "It was misleading and unfair" otherwise every media outlet is fucked If they called him a pedophile or said he murdered some dude called Pete in 1997. That's libel. The judge probably made the correct legal call and The Sun still sucks . Its not an either/or thing It doesn't seem like Depp actually did any of the things that was said though. The article says the Judge just chose who to believe based on what was "likely or unlikely". --- Cherish me <cite>WesternMedia posted [p:946650154] in Johnny Dep...
