Crime Stories with Nancy Grace SPECIAL WEEKEND CRIME STORIES UPDATE: Johnny Depp v Amber Heard: "JUROR IMPERSONATOR" BOMBSHELL RULING
Virginia Judge Penney Azcarate denies Amber Heard’s request have her defamation trial deemed a mistrial on the grounds that the court seated the wrong juror. Amber Heard’s legal team claims a person not called to jury duty was inadvertently seated on the jury for Johnny Depp's defamation lawsuit. At issue is juror number 15. Heard's legal team says a 52-year-old man responded to a jury summons and was seated on the jury, but the summons was for a 77-year-old man with the same last name living at the same address. Judge Azcarate wrote “there is no evidence of fraud or wrongdoing” during the six-week civil trial, according to Fox News. Azcarate said the summons listed the juror’s legal name but not a birthdate. The juror reportedly went on to list his birthdate on a juror questionnaire. Both Heard and Depp’s legal teams signed off on every juror who sat in on the trial.
