Heard-Depp trial: the actress officially appeals her sentence

A new legal episode in sight? Amber Heard, who was sentenced last June to pay damages to Johnny Depp who accused her of defamation, has decided to appeal, reports, among other US media, the New York Post.

According to the same source, the actress’s attorneys filed a “Notice of Intent to Appeal” in the Fairfax County, Virginia, court on Thursday.

The star had been ordered to pay $10 million to her ex-husband, who had charged her with defamation over an article in the Washington Post in 2018 in which he claimed to have been a victim of “domestic violence”. For her part, Amber Heard had gotten the actor to pay her $2 million.
