Amber Heard Fights The Defamation Case Verdict

It has been reported that the lawyers of the Aquaman actress moved the Fairfax County Circuit Court to set aside the verdict that was awarded against her. Alternately, she has asked for a fresh trial if the verdict isn’t set aside. She has challenged the 10 million dollar award to Depp claiming that there is no evidence to substantiate it.

Reportedly, the brief also claimed that Amber Heard was unaware of the headline of the article that was published in 2018. They have also challenged the amount awarded to Johnny Depp as being “excessive”. Moreover, they have reportedly questioned whether one juror improperly served on the jury. It seems that Amber Heard is fighting the defamation case verdict tooth and nail. It remains to be seen what the Circuit court adjudicates.
