On 8 July, Amber Heard’s attorneys asked Judge Penney Azcarate -- who presided over the defamation trial opposing the actor and her ex-husband Johnny Depp in Virginia for six weeks -- to throw out the verdict.
Heard’s legal team asked for a new trial, arguing that one of the six jurors who ruled on the case was not who they were supposed to be. In fact, they allege, that person had never even been summoned for jury duty.
