Depp lauded the decision, saying the jury "gave me my life back." "I am truly humbled," he said in a statement. "From the very beginning, the goal of bringing this case was to reveal the truth, regardless of the outcome. Speaking the truth was something that I owed to my children and to all those who have remained steadfast in their support of me. I feel at peace knowing I have finally accomplished that."
