Hollywood actor Johnny Depp is seeking legal clearance on Thursday to challenge a verdict in a defamation case he lost in London last year.
The case relates to an article in the British newspaper “The Sun” describing him as “he used to beat his wife.” For her life. ”
The decision came after court sessions that lasted for three weeks, during which the court heard defenses and counter-accounts from Depp, 57, and Amber Hard, 34, about violent outbursts of anger in which they exchanged accusations of resorting to violence.
Subsequently, Deeb’s lawyers said, “the judgment is so flawed that it would be absurd not to appeal against it.”
They added, “What is disturbing about the matter is that the judge relied on Heard’s testimony, ignoring police officers’ evidence, accounts of her past aid, and other witnesses that the lawyers said undermined her testimony.”
On Thursday, Deeb’s legal team will file a request for permission to appeal and provide further evidence.
