Amber Gerd will be judged again with Johnny Depp
The grounds for appeal include the absence of "clear and convincing evidence of" actual evil intent, the standard according to which the decisions on defamation are made, the refusal of the court of first instance to declare invalid compensation for the damages that the jury was awarded after him. In addition, the document emphasizes that both Gerd and Depp were slammed on each other, which "inherently and irreconcurately inconsistently.
" Several points relate to the accepted evidence, which should not have been, and evidence that was not accepted, despite their importance, including various reports of medical professionals, as well as correspondence with employees, friends and family. Some of these grounds in court and interview were mentioned by actress Elaine Bradehoft, who was attributed to the secret sympathy for Depp.
It is unlikely that Bradehoft will protect Amber during an appeal, as the actress broke his cooperation with her in August and hired David L. Axelrod and Jay Ward Brown from Ballard Spahr, who will lead a new case. The third lawyer will be Ben Rottenborn from Woods Rogers. Earlier, we wrote that, in addition to the intention of appealing, the actress hired new lawyers and is going to court to try to force several insurance companies to cover her legal expenses that may exceed $ 15 million.
We will remind, on June 1, 2022, the judge made a decision in favor of Depp, agreeing with the fact that the actor was saying, and obliged Amber Gerd to pay the stars of "Pirates of the Caribbean" $ 10. 3 million. Depp was ready to give up this money, provided that Amber would not appeal, but she refused. The celebrity faced financial problems and was already forced to sell the house. In addition, she is going to write a book about her life with Depp to improve her financial situation.
