Johnny Depp’s lawyers urge judge not to toss Amber Heard verdict

Attorneys respond to request by Heard's lawyers, who say the verdict was nonsensical and a juror was misidentified

Lawyers for Johnny Depp have urged the judge in the dueling defamation case with Amber Heard to leave his $10m judgment intact after attorneys for Heard requested that the verdict be set aside, including on grounds that one juror on the panel was misidentified.

In court papers filed on Monday, Depp's lawyers dispute arguments from Heard's team that the jury's verdict was nonsensical and unfounded. They also say that the Heard team's complaints about the juror's identity are irrelevant.
