New Court document (thanks to Natalia @Natalia79894069)
The court battle is rooted in Depp’s claim that Heard, his ex-wife and co-star of the blockbuster movie “Aquaman,” defamed him when she wrote an editorial in The Washington Post last December describing the backlash she experienced after speaking out about domestic abuse.
Depp maintains Heard’s claims are false, “refuted by two separate responding police officers, a litany of neutral third-party witnesses and 87 newly obtained surveillance camera videos,” according to the complaint.
During Friday’s hearing, Heard’s lawyers argued that the proceedings belong in Los Angeles, as the parties and relevant witnesses reside there, and the Virginia case should be dismissed. (I WON'T BE SILENCED - BUT I WANT THE CASE DISMISSED - cit. Amber Heard)
Chief Circuit Court Judge Bruce White took the motion to dismiss under advisement and could make a decision within the coming weeks.
In a separate hearing Thursday, lawyers set Feb. 3, 2020, as a tentative trial date and estimated the case would stretch over 12 days.
