Heard was spared a conviction over the dog-smuggling saga by an Australian court Monday afternoon.
In the video apology released by the Australian government, a stony-faced Heard sits alongside Depp to state she is “Truly sorry that Pistol and Boo were not declared. Protecting Australia is important.”
Depp added: “Australians are just as unique, both warm and direct. When you disrespect Australian law, they will tell your firmly.”
The court magistrate gave Heard a one-month good behavior bond sentence, CNN-affiliate 7 News Australia said.
If Heard breaks the bond, she will have to pay a fine of 1,000 Australian dollars but the incident will not go on record.
According to 7 News, the magistrate took into consideration her need to travel for work, and said while the offense was not trivial, she doesn’t believe Heard thought she was above the law.
According to 7 News, Heard’s assistant was responsible for the dogs’ travel arrangements and was dismissed after the incident.
