Amber Heard’s attorneys are demanding an annulment in Johnny Depp’s favor because of the jury

Although a month has passed, Amber Heard’s legal team is now claiming that in Johnny Depp’s libel trial a juror made an improper presentation. Reason enough for the plaintiff’s representatives to ask again for the judgment to be set aside.

Last Friday, July 8, Amber Heard’s attorney filed a five-page memorandum at the Fairax Circuit Court of Virginia, arguing that “newly discovered facts” mention irregularities in the members of the jury that passed the verdict in Johnny Depp’s favor, and are now calling for a retrial.

According to the legal team of Amber felt, juror number 15 “was not the person named take the oath on April 11, 2022 “, reads the memorandum. And he adds that” he could not have correctly been part of the jury of this trial “convened by the protagonist of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’.

Presumably, this error is due to documents stating that the juror 15 and the person originally sued reside at the same address. “Therefore, the trial must be declared null and void. order a new trial ”with Johnny Depp and Amber Heardwhere movie stars perform again.

Amber Heard’s argument for ordering a retrial

According to Amber Heard’s legal team, they mention in the filing that: “As the Court no doubt agrees, it is deeply troubling that a person who has not been summoned to serve as a jury appears as a member of the jury and serves in jury service. Especially in a case like this. ”

It is currently unclear whether the court was aware of this error during or before the start of the trial, which lasted six weeks and ended with the verdict in Johnny Depp’s favor. What would result in Amber Heard presenting evidence that, according to her team of lawyers, was banned during the legal process.

According to CNN information, Johnny Depp’s attorneys will have 30 days to respond to Amber Heard’s motion and consider a retrial in the defamation case against the actress, per the article Heard wrote for the Washington Post in 2018, in which she claimed she was a victim of “domestic abuse”.
