Original Note:
The trial in Britain was not a criminal trial but a libel trial. It ruled that the words the Sun used were, on the balance of probabilities, "more likely than not" to be true. Depp was not sentenced a "wife beater" but the Sun was allowed to call him one. Articles 41 to 44. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Judgment-FINAL.pdf
