Amber Heard’s lawyers have gone to work to try to annul the verdict that, in early June, determined that the actress had defamed her ex-husband Johnny Depp through that controversial opinion article published in the newspaper The Washington Post in the year 2018.
The American interpreter would have to pay the Hollywood star about $10 million dollars in damages, while Depp was forced to pay the artist $2 million for the same reasons. In short, the final bill for the star of ‘Aquaman’ amounts to $8 million dollars, which he supposedly cannot afford given his meager income.
The strategy that his team has now deployed The legal process is to reopen the case to try to revoke the decision made at the time by Judge Penney Azcarate, who has already revealed her refusal to start a new period of oral hearings. However, Heard’s lawyers maintain that there is no reliable evidence to substantiate the allegations made against him, in addition to pointing out that one of the members of the jury, whom they identify as number 10, did not meet the requirements for your choice.
In the forty-three-page document provided to the court, the actress’s legal team criticizes that the deliberations were carried out based on a “theory of implication”, instead of properly exploring the truth or falsity of his serious accusations against Depp, whom he branded as a physical and psychological abuser during their short year of marriage. Likewise, the lawyers have warned that the date of birth of the aforementioned juror does not correspond to the one that appeared on his file: “This individual was clearly born after 1200 and their identity could not be verified”, they warn.
