Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial: A look at what happened in court this week

an op-ed she wrote in December 2018 in The Washington Post, headlined: "I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change." Heard never mentioned Depp, but she refers to herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." And while Depp wasn’t named, his lawyers say the article defames him nevertheless because it’s a clear reference to the highly publicized allegations Heard made when she filed for divorce in 2016 and obtained a temporary restraining order against him. Depp said he never physically abused Heard, while Heard said she was assaulted on more than a dozen occasions. Here’s a look at what happened in the trial this week: FILE - U.S.

EXTON, Pa. - Police in Chester County thwarted a pair of shoplifters from stealing thousands in beauty products from a retail store after receiving a tip about the planned heist. In a Facebook post, the West Whiteland Police Department said they received information about a plan to steal $10k in fragrances from Ulta Beauty in Exton. The department said officers spotted two men Friday morning who entered the store and tried to carry out the theft. Both suspects were arrested by the waiting officers following a struggle and the merchandise was recovered, according to the department's Facebook post. The store was temporarily closed."If you were shopping in the store, and witnessed what it looks like when two subjects actively resist arrest, we apologize for the mess," the department wrote. The Ulta in Exton has been hit at least two times by shoplifters over the last four months, including a group of women who police say stuffed bags full of merchandise.AdvertisementEarlier in the year, police were searching for two women who allegedly stole $10k in makeup.

Study: Four-year college students drink more alcohol; two-year students use pot more

marijuana more than eight days a month on average, while four-year students reported marijuana use about four and a half days a month.RELATED: Does 'hair of the dog' actually work after drinking alcohol? What experts say about the hangover 'cure'"I expected differences in both alcohol and marijuana use among two- and four-year college students, but was surprised by the magnitude of the differences given that the subjects are the same ages," said Jennifer Duckworth, an assistant professor at WSU and lead author of the paper.More research is needed to understand why, Duckworth said, but "perceptions of peer use" could be a contributing factor.RELATED: Frequent marijuana use may lead to higher risk of heart disease, study finds"Specifically, four-year students thought their peers drank more than two-year students believed their peers drank, whereas two-year students thought that their peers used cannabis more than four-year students thought their peers did," researchers said.The study’s authors admit it’s harder to examine two-year college students because they vary more in age and work status and are more likely to be from racial and ethnic minority groups.

(Credit: ANDREY BORODULIN/AFP via Getty Images) POKROVSK, Ukraine - Russia claimed to have captured Mariupol on Friday in what would be its biggest victory yet in its war with Ukraine, after a nearly three-month siege that reduced much of the strategic port city to a smoking ruin, with over 20,000 civilians feared dead.Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin the "complete liberation" of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol — the last stronghold of Ukrainian resistance — and the city as a whole, spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.There was no immediate confirmation from Ukraine.Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti quoted the ministry as saying a total of 2,439 Ukrainian fighters who had been holed up at the steelworks had surrendered since Monday, including over 500 on Friday.As they surrendered, the troops were taken prisoner by the Russians, and at least some were taken to a former penal colony.

Not enough Americans taking advantage of government assistance to pay COVID-19 funeral costs

(Photo by Brendan Smialowski / AFP) (Photo by BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images) WASHINGTON - The federal government has provided more than $2 billion to help cover funeral costs for more than 300,000 families of people who have died from COVID-19, yet not enough people either know about the access to funding or have applied to get help.According to a report from Kaiser Health News, fewer than half of eligible families have even begun their applications to cover funeral costs, something that has been provided for by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) since April 2021. On average, the families that have received funding have obtained an average of $6,500, yet many families are still unaware that the money is still available. To solve this problem, FEMA said in March that it is launching a new campaign to raise awareness about the aid to eligible families. The number of people killed by COVID-19 in the United States reached 1 million, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University on May 18.While the average amount awarded per death is $6,500, according to FEMA, the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance program provides up to $9,000 per funeral and covers COVID-19 related deaths since Jan.

Record gas prices for this long 'unprecedented': AAA

Gas prices have been hitting fresh records for the past 11 consecutive days amid the energy supply crunch in the U.S., according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), which noted that the stretch of record-high prices as the pump is "unprecedented."Speaking with Fox News Digital, Andrew Gross, the national spokesman for AAA Inc. revealed that drivers should expect elevated prices throughout the summer, especially if the war in Ukraine rages on. The national average for a gallon of gas was $4.59 on Friday, a slight increase from the day before and a new record high.Thursday’s record was 16 cents higher than the week before, nearly 50 cents higher than the month before and $1.55 more compared to the same time last year. All 50 states had a national retail price over $4 a gallon on Thursday, according to AAA, with Oklahoma offering the cheapest gas at $4.03 a gallon and California offering the most expensive gas with an average of $6.06.Tighter supply and increased demand have pushed gas prices higher, according to the association."Demand is up," Gross told Fox News Digital as he explained what is contributing to the elevated prices."Typically this time of year we are in a little bit of a lull.
