Amber Heard Files Appeal On Defamation Trial
Amber Heard has filed an official notice to appeal the outcome of her defamation trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp.
The Aquaman star’s legal team submitted the documents to the Virginia Court of Appeals on Thursday (July 21), stating that the actress intends to appeal the verdict.
“We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the first amendment. We are therefore appealing the verdict,” a spokesperson for Heard said in a statement.
'While we realise today’s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires, there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice.”
In a counter response, a spokesperson for Depp said in a statement: “The jury listened to the extensive evidence presented during the six-week trial and came to a clear and unanimous verdict that the defendant herself defamed Mr Depp in multiple instances. We remain confident in our case and that this verdict will stand.”
Heard herself was awarded $2million (£1.67million) after the jury found that Depp had defamed her through his attorney.
