SHE'S BACK! Amber Heard Files NEW Appeal Against Johnny Depp!

Did you actually think that the end of the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard happened when Amber was found guilty of defaming Depp? Well, if that’s what you believe, then you’re absolutely wrong. We told you on this channel before, Amber is just getting started. And it seems like that’s true, as she recently filed an appeal against the verdict. Just a few months ago, people were already questioning this. Although a whole jury was found in Johnny Depp's favor against ex-wife Amber Heard, the legal drama was obviously far from done. During those moments of celebration for Johnny Depp, one question still lingered: would Amber Heard appeal the court’s decision? Well turns out she did. After all, her net worth declared as of 2022 is 8 million dollars, still a few millions short of what she has to pay. Heard's lawyers have stated that she would file an appeal, which will most likely take years. But it seems like that isn’t the case because we are barely a year out of the last trial, and here comes another chaos for the former couple. Today we’re spilling all the details you need to know about Amber Heard’s 16-point grounds for appeal. But before any of that, make sure that you subscribe to our channel and you smash that notification bell for more updates on this. Now, let’s dive in! On Tuesday, Amber Heard filed an appellate brief, listing 16 grounds for appeal, four months after a jury awarded her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, $10.3 million in damages. But if you’re hoping to see the same lawyer she had on the trial, you’ll be disappointed. Amber Heard has hired new legal counsel to appeal the verdict reached in Johnny Depp's defamation trial. A spokesperson for the actress announced she retained David L. Axelrod and Jay Ward Brown of law firm Ballard Spahr to lead her counsel. Ben Rottenborn will continue as co-counsel, while Elaine Charlson Bredehoft will step down. You may remember that both Rottenborn and Bredehoft represented Heard during the six-week trial in Virginia. Axelrod is a former federal prosecutor and first-chair trial lawyer who represents individuals and companies in high-stakes civil litigation, while Brown has represented journalists, news organizations, and documentary filmmakers, among others, in First Amendment cases. The pair successfully defended The New York Times against Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit earlier this year. "We welcome the opportunity to represent Ms. Heard in this appeal as it is a case with important First Amendment implications for every American," Axelrod and Brown said in a joint statement. "We're confident the appellate court will apply the law properly without deference to popularity, reverse the judgment against Ms. Heard, and reaffirm the fundamental principles of Freedom of Speech." Bredehoft said the appeal is "the perfect time to pass the baton" in her own statement. "I have pledged to Amber and her appellate team my complete cooperation and assistance as they move forward on a path toward success," she said. Some of the grounds had already been mentioned either in court or in post-trial interviews by her former representative Elaine Bredehoft, so there were few surprises. Several of the points have to do with evidence admitted that should not have been, and evidence that was not admitted that should have been, including various communications with medical professionals as well as with employees, friends, and family. The filing arrives in the Virginia court on the heels of Depp’s appearance stateside. He was photographed signing autographs in New York, while here with Jeff Beck for a North American tour. If you’re having a hard time remembering how much Amber Heard needs to pay, let’s take a little trip down memory lane: When reached for comment on the appeal, a spokesperson for Depp told EW, "The jury listened to the extensive evidence presented during the six-week trial and came to a clear and unanimous verdict that the defendant herself defamed Mr. Depp in multiple instances. We remain confident in our case and that this verdict will stand." But does Amber Heard stand a chance to win this time? According to experts, Heard (or her insurance company) will be asked to post a bond proving that she has the money she owes Depp or can raise it before the appeals process can start. Given that both Heard and her attorney have claimed that the trial has put a financial strain on her, it is uncertain whether Heard will be able to post the bond.
