Just one month after Johnny Depp's legal victory, the His ex-wife and actress Amber Heard is asking in a 43-page brief that the jury's verdict be thrown out on the grounds that it is not supported by evidence.
Another of her requests is to investigate a juror, who, according to with her legal team, was not properly vetted.
Heard's team said the juror, identified in the filing as Juror 15, was clearly born later than 1945, while available information indicates he appears to have been born in 1970.
Heard's attorneys also wrote , “This discrepancy raises the question of whether Juror 15 actually received a summons for jury duty and was properly vetted by the court to serve on the jury.”
They also argue that the compensation of The jury's $10.35 million award against Amber Heard is “inconsistent and inconsistent” with their verdict that both she and Depp defamed each other. Depp's attorney, Ben Chew, commented to Courthouse News on Heard's team's move, rejecting it, also saying, “what we expected, just bigger, not more substantial.”
It's also worth mentioning, that in addition to $10 million in damages to Depp and $350,000, the jury also awarded Heard $2 million in punitive damages.
