Johnny Depp has asked a judge to throw out Amber Heard’s request for a new trial, after his ex-wife claimed that a fake juror sat in on their high-stakes defamation case.
Attorneys for the Pirates of the Caribbean star, who was awarded $10m in damages by the jury of seven, filed new court documents on Monday saying that Ms Heard’s motion to call for a mistrial was “untimely”, that she had access to the purported new “facts” months ago and that she has failed to cite any unfair prejudice.
