<p>Amber Heard has officially filed a &#8220;notice of intent to appeal&#8221; the verdict handed down in ex-husband Johnny Depp&#8217;s defamation trial that resulted in a $10 million judgment against her.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amber-heard-owes-johnny-depp-millions-her-latest-moves-might-give-insight-into-how-shell-pay-but-probably-not">36-year-old</a> actress&#8217; legal team filed the document in Fairfax County, Virginia, according to records obtained by <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/07/21/amber-heard-files-to-appeal-johnny-depp-10m-defamation-win/?utm_medium=site+buttons&amp;utm_campaign=site+buttons">the New York Post</a>.</p>
<p>A jury found the &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; star had defamed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-jury-gave-me-my-life-back-johnny-depp-releases-statement-after-winning-big-in-defamation-case-against-ex-wife-amber-heard">Depp</a> in an op-ed Heard penned in <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ive-seen-how-institutions-protect-men-accused-of-abuse-heres-what-we-can-do/2018/12/18/71fd876a-02ed-11e9-b5df-5d3874f1ac36_story.html">The Washington Post</a> in 2018 about domestic violence, awarding him a total of $15 million in monetary damages, though it was dropped to $10.35 million due to Virginia law, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jury-awards-johnny-depp-15-million-but-hell-get-millions-less-heres-why">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.</p>
<p>&#8220;We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the First Amendment,&#8221; a spokesperson for the actress told <a href="https://people.com/movies/amber-heard-files-to-appeal-verdict-johnny-depp-trial/">People</a> magazine Thursday. &#8220;We are therefore appealing the verdict. While we realize today&#8217;s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires, there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice.&#8221;</p>
<p>Depp&#8217;s spokesperson responded to the appeal, telling the Post, &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We remain confident in our case and that this verdict will stand,&#8221; the statement added.</p>

<p>The latest filing comes after a judge denied <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amber-heard-denies-slightly-insane-rumors-she-was-cut-from-aquaman-sequel">Heard&#8217;s</a> request for a retrial, claiming an alleged juror error.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no evidence of fraud or wrongdoing,&#8221; Virginia Judge Penney Azcarate, who presided over the trial in Fairfax County Circuit Court, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/amber-heard-bid-mistrial-alleged-juror-mistake-shot-down-judge">shared</a>.</p>
<p>Her team had alleged, &#8220;In this case, it appears that Juror No. 15 was not, in fact, the same individual as listed on the jury panel. Ms. Heard&#8217;s due process was therefore compromised. Under these circumstances, a mistrial should be declared, and a new trial ordered.&#8221;</p>
<p>Depp&#8217;s team responded, calling the move &#8220;desperate&#8221; and &#8220;frivolous.&#8221;</p>
