Court does not agree with Heard’s arguments to dismiss Depp case | Stars

entertainment">Heard’s attorneys said there was fraud because one of the jurors did not have the correct date of birth on his summons card. But according to the judge, this problem should have been addressed earlier. In addition, the court does not consider it proven that this was a case of intentional fraud.

entertainment">Depp had sued Heard over an op-ed she had written about her experiences of domestic violence. She did not mention a name in the Washington Post article, but according to the actor it was obvious that it was about him. He argued that his career and reputation had suffered as a result and demanded compensation. The jury agreed and awarded him over $10 million.

entertainment">Heard can still appeal this ruling. Her lawyers are expected to do the same.
