Amber Heard’s Attorney Said They Will Appeal

Amber Heard’s attorney, Elaine Bredehoft, told the Today Show yesterday that Heard “absolutely” wants to appeal the jury’s decision in her defamation trial with Johnny Depp. “She has some excellent grounds for it,” Bredehoft said. “She was demonized here. A number of things were allowed in this court that should not have been allowed, and it caused the jury to be confused.”

The biggest issue she says is that the jury was not sequestered, although they were strongly encouraged not to read news about the trial or go on social media. “They went home every night. They have families. The families are on social media,” she said. “We had a 10-day break in the middle because of a Judicial Conference. There’s no way they couldn’t have been influenced by it, and it was horrible. It really, really was lopsided.”

Oh yeah, and Heard can’t afford to pay Depp the $10 million in damages that the jury awarded him.
