Heard’s lawyers have argued that the verdict should be set aside and a new trial should be ordered because one of the seven jurors in the case never received a summons.
“Unsurprisingly, Ms. Heard cites to no case law to support her argument that the service of Juror 15 if he is not the same individual that the Court assigned as Juror 15 somehow compromised her due process and would warrant the drastic remedy of ‘setting aside the verdict and ordering a new trial,'” Depp’s lawyers wrote. “Ms. Heard makes no showing of any prejudice, and accordingly her speculative arguments fail.
Heard’s lawyers have also sought to set aside the verdict for several other reasons. They have argued that Depp’s team made improper arguments at trial, seeking to hold her accountable for the initial domestic violence claims — from 2016 — which Depp had waived his right to challenge in the couple’s divorce settlement.
