As expected, Amber Heard has filed to have the verdict thrown out in ex-husband Johnny Depp’s defamation lawsuit against her. But beyond the predicted claims, the “Aquaman” star has also accused the Virginia court of not properly vetting one of the jurors.
In a 44-page memorandum filed Friday in Fairfax County, Virginia, Heard’s lawyers called for an investigation into possible “improper juror service,” alleging that there was a “discrepancy” about the age of one of the jurors who was born in 1970, not 1945 as reported by the court.
“Given the requirements for verification of each juror, it appears the identity of the juror was not verified,” reads the memo.
