Heard argued that it was false for Depp to claim that he lost his role in “Pirates of the Caribbean” because of her Washington Post op-ed.
Heard also claims that one of the jurors who served during the trial was not properly vetted because their listed birth year was 1945.
The juror “was clearly born later than 1945. Publicly available information demonstrates that he appears to have been born in 1970,” the motion said, according to The Guardian.
“This discrepancy raises the question whether Juror 15 actually received a summons for jury duty and was properly vetted by the court to serve on the jury.”
