Amber Heard calls for new liberal trial against Johnny Depp in the wake of losing multimillion-dollar criticism claim
Golden Heard's legal counselors have called the $10.35m (£8.2m) granted in punitive fees to Johnny Depp "faulty" and are approaching the appointed authority to toss out the decision and have another preliminary.
Golden Heard has asked a Virginia judge to toss out her horrible decision against Johnny Depp and request another legal dispute, guaranteeing the judgment wasn't upheld by proof during the preliminary.
Legal counselors for the 36-year-old Aquaman star set out a 43-page movement, guaranteeing Depp "continued exclusively on a maligning by suggestion hypothesis, leaving any cases that Ms Heard's assertions were bogus".
Referring to the decision as "unreasonable", the report went on: "Ms Heard consciously demands this court to save the jury decision for Mr Depp and against Ms Heard completely, excuse the grievance, or in the other option, request another preliminary."
The legal dispute reached a conclusion on 1 June, with the jury finding that a 2018 article Heard composed for The Washington Post, about her supposed encounters as an overcomer of homegrown maltreatment, was disparaging towards 59-year-old Depp.
The jury of five men and two ladies arrived at the decision consistently, saying Depp had demonstrated every one of the components of maligning.
They likewise observed most of Heard's charges to be misleading and felt they conveyed a slanderous ramifications.
Depp, who sued Heard for $50m (£38.2m), was granted $10.35m (£8.2m) in penalties, a figure Heard's legal counselor Elaine Bredehoft could "by no means" bear to pay, and in the documenting referred to the figure as "shaky".
The total was hence decreased by judge Penney Azcarate to $350,000 (£293,000) under a state cap.
Heard, who counter-sued the Pirates Of The Caribbean star for $100m (£76.4m), won on one count, effectively contending that one of Depp's lawyers criticized her by asserting her charges were "a maltreatment scam" pointed toward gaining by the #MeToo development.
The jury granted her $2m (£1.5m) in penalties.
