Amber Heard Throws in the Towel - Depp v. Heard settlement breakdown - Attorney analysis

The settlement agreement between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard hasn't been made public, so we learned of the settlement only through the spin doctors that announced it through various media channels. As a result, there has been a lot of speculation about what the agreement consists of and what legal significance it has for the future. I take a look here at the parties' official statements about the settlement and the steps that have so far been taken to carry it out to analyze what the likely structure and significance of the settlement is and predict what kind of legal documentation we are likely to see to formally terminate the case. Of course, I also have plenty of thoughts about why they settled, things they told us without meaning to by the words they chose, and whether that rumor that Amber is getting a book deal is believable or a hot pile of flaming PR garbage.

*Disclaimer - Amber Heard is no Roberto Duran.
