After filing court filings to appeal the result of the defamation trial, Amber Heard reportedly engaged a new legal team.
It was revealed last month that Amber Heard’s attorneys had notified the court they would be filing an appeal in the case where the jury awarded Johnny Depp USD 10 million in damages after finding the actress liable for defamation in her 2018 Washington Post op-ed. The paperwork was filed on July 21 in Fairfax County, Virginia. It is said that Heard has now enlisted a new legal team.
The actress from Aquaman reportedly recruited new legal representation in order to appeal the defamation trial decision.According to Entertainment Tonight, Heard’s principal appellate counsel will be Ballard Spahr’s Jay Ward Brown, while David L. Axelrod will defend her. Earlier this year, The New York Times was notably shielded by the lawyers from a defamation lawsuit filed by Sarah Palin.
Along with acknowledging that they will be assisting Heard in the case, Axelrod and Brown released a joint statement that read, “We welcome the opportunity to defend Ms. Heard in her appeal since it is a case with profound First Amendment consequences for every American.”
The Aquaman actress’s representative stated, “We feel the court made errors that prohibited a just and fair finding compatible with the First Amendment,” in response to the July 21 court filing addressing the verdict’s appeal. For this reason, we are contesting the decision. Even though we are aware that today’s filing will set Twitter ablaze, there are steps we must take to guarantee justice and fairness, according to ET.
Meanwhile, Johnny Depp appears to be concentrating on resuming his Hollywood career following his trial victory. It was recently announced that the actor will be directing a picture for the first time in 25 years, with production handled by Al Pacino.
