Johnny Depp’s lawyers see no reason for new trial, in spite of issue with juror

Though the high-profile trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard officially wrapped up last month, the legal battle continues regardless, with the latest development being Heard’s lawyers filing for a mistrial, citing an issue with one of the jurors.

Heard’s lawyers’ Friday filing suggested Juror No. 15 was, in fact, “not the individual summoned in April to serve in the case,” but instead “a younger individual with the same last name” who lives at the same address, according to The Associated Press (via ABC 7 Chicago). According to the claim from Heard’s lawyers, this essentially makes the individual an “illegally seated” juror, the report said.
