Johnny vs. Amber part two?: Heard appeals verdict and requests reversal or new trial, MariaLeaf reports.
Following Depp's filing to prevent a $2 million payment to Heard in November, her lawyers have now filed an appeal to have the verdict thrown out.
"The resulting jury verdict against Heard on all of Depp’s claims cannot be reconciled with the jury verdict against Depp on Heard’s counterclaim. To find in favor of Depp, the jury must have concluded that Depp did not abuse Heard and that Heard knowingly lied in accusing him of abuse. But, to find in favor of Heard, the jury must have concluded that Heard told the truth about being a victim of domestic abuse by Depp.
The defamation trial that captured international attention was centered on an op-ed Heard wrote for the Washington Post in which she detailed claims of domestic violence.If there is a new trial, Heard will not have the same lawyers representing her. Last August, she fired Elaine Bredehoft.
