Together with guitar guru Jeff Beck, Johnny Depp is currently on tour fulfilling his rocker dream, which he has cultivated since his earliest youth. Hollywood can wait, is his message to the world, while he goes around the houses as a traditional string scrubber.
Not so Amber Heard. Together with her team of lawyers, she has now appealed against the verdict in the defamation trial. This is reported in unison by various US media, including gossip specialists such as the tabloid “New York Post” or the online platform “TMZ”.
Accordingly, the brief was received in Fairfax on Thursday. The justification states:
“We are convinced that the court made mistakes. These prevented a just and fair trial under the First Amendment. We are therefore appealing the verdict,” a spokesman for Heard told TMZ.
Team Depp played the backlash over the British press: “The jury became aware of the extensive evidence presented during the six-week trial. They have come to a clear and unanimous verdict that the defendant herself has defamed Mr Depp on several counts. We are still convinced of our cause. This judgment will stand.”
.
Heard recently failed with another motion to have the verdict overturned. Judge Penney Azcarate dismissed the request, which had challenged alleged procedural errors.
Particularly piquant in this seemingly endless court limbo appears on the gossip message that Johnny Depp not only plays the rocker “completely by himself”, but has also been spotted with a red-haired beauty in his vicinity. “The Winner Takes It All” is the only way to comment on this never-ending law story, loosely based on ABBA.
