FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A new court filing from Amber Heard’s legal team alleges one of the jurors in the defamation case filed against her by her ex-husband Johnny Depp served improperly.
The memo filed Friday in Virginia’s Fairfax Circuit Court asks the court to declare a mistrial and order a new trial.
It says the apparent discrepancy violated Heard’s due process rights.
The filing suggests that Juror No. 15 was a younger individual with the same last name as the person who should have served.
The Associated Press sent emails seeking comment Sunday to a representative for Depp and two of his attorneys.
