The judge in Virginia denied Heard's request for a new trial because of her complaints about one of the jurors.
A defamation case against her by her ex- husband, Johnny Depp, will be heard on May 4, 2022.
The judge denied Heard's request for a mis trial because of a claim from Heard's lawyers that one of the jurors was not called for jury duty.
The juror in question sat for the entire jury, deliberated, and reached a verdict, according to Azcarate.
The verdict and the $10.4 million judgment are binding on the court.
Heard can appeal the verdict.
Heard wrote an op-ed in which she described herself as someone who had experienced domestic abuse, but she did not name the man in the piece. She claimed that her allegations of abuse were a lie. Millions watched the trial that lasted six weeks. Heard was ordered to pay $10.4 million in damages for defaming Johnny Depp. Heard was awarded $2 million by the jury. Heard's lawyer said they would appeal the verdict. A new trial should be ordered due to the fact that an improper juror appeared in the trial, according to the team. Heard should have raised the complaints during jury selection or the trial, and that she didn't show any evidence of prejudice, according to the team for the actor.
