Despite her humiliating defeat in her famous case involving her divorced American star Johnny Depp, and the subsequent declaration of bankruptcy, the blonde actress did not give up and began planning a new tour in the corridors of the courts with the Hollywood star by changing her defence team and appointing new names to the team.
According to a spokesperson, Ballard Spehr has hired attorney David L. Axelrod and fellow attorney Jay Ward Brown to lead its legal defence team in its case against the Pirates of the Caribbean hero, with attorney Ben Rothenborn serving as co-counsel.
In addition, he stated, When it comes to defending the fundamental right to free expression, we see the jury’s decision as the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end… A different court requires a different representation, especially now that so much new evidence is emerging.
Amber Heard has ended her legal relationship with attorney Eileen Charlson Bredehoft, who represented her during the previous trial, which resulted in Johnny Depp and his defence team’s victory.
The remarkable thing is that Eileen Charlesson Bredehoft has not abandoned Amber Heard, but has stated that she is ready to assist the new defence team in any way she can.
Attorney David L. Axelrod and his colleague Jay Ward Brown said in a statement: We appreciate the opportunity to represent Mrs. Heard on this appeal because it is a matter with significant First Amendment implications for all Americans. The verdict against Ms. Heard is overturned, and the fundamental principles of free expression are reaffirmed according to American media
A Fairfax County, Virginia, jury ruled in June that Heard had defamed the Pirates of the Caribbean star and ordered him to pay Johnny Depp $10.35 million in damages.
The six-week trial between the famous duo drew widespread attention and media coverage, with television stations broadcasting the facts directly and social media platforms broadcasting videos of it.
