Amber Heard appeals for new trial in Johnny Depp defamation case

Amber Heard is seeking a new defamation trial against her ex-husband #JohnnyDepp — claiming the bombshell court battle she lost was stacked against her.

The 36-year-old “Aquaman” actress filed her appeal earlier this month, arguing the exclusion of therapy notes in which she reported being abused resulted in an unfair trial. The evidence had been ruled out as hearsay by Fairfax County, Virginia Judge Penney Azcarate.

“The trial court improperly prevented the jury from considering several separate instances in which Heard reported Depp’s abuse to a medical professional,” Heard’s lawyers wrote in the 68-page document dated Nov. 23.

“If not reversed, the trial court’s exclusion of contemporaneous reports of domestic abuse to medical professionals will make it more difficult for other abuse victims to prove allegations of abuse, and likely deter them from coming forward,” they wrote.

Depp, 59, was awarded a $10.35 million verdict in June after arguing that Heard’s Washington Post op-ed in which she made claims of domestic abuse was defamatory…. Thoughts on this??
