Original Note:
By UK law, The Sun (and the poster of the tweet) can legitimately call Depp a wife-beater, given the outcome of the civil case. NNN The burden of proof is on the defendant in defamation cases, so The Sun was presumed guilty and had to prove otherwise. https://www.carruthers-law.co.uk/our-services/defamation/defamation-defences/
