Back in June， a seven-person jury concluded that Heard intentionally and

maliciously

defamed

Depp when she wrote a 2018 Washington Post

op-ed

identifying herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse。 Depp was awarded $10 million in

compensatory damages

and $5 million in

punitive damages

（the judge later reduced the punitive damages to Virginia‘s

statutory cap

of $350，000）。 Heard earned a small countersuit victory of $2 million in compensatory damages。

讓我們回到今年6月份的時候，由7人組成的陪審團得出結果，希爾德在2018年《華盛頓郵報》上撰寫的專欄文章中聲稱自己遭到家庭暴力，是故意且惡意地誹謗德普。德普獲得了1000萬美金的補償性賠償，和500萬美金的懲罰性賠償（法官後來將懲罰性賠償降低到弗吉尼亞州35萬美金的法定上限）。希爾德在反訴中獲得了200萬美金的補償性賠償。

filed

in July after a motion for a

consistent

with the First Amendment，” a spokesperson for Heard said。 “We are therefore appealing the verdict。 While we realize today‘s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires， there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice。”

希爾德的團隊對無效審判的訴求被駁回後，於7月份提起了上訴，要求撤銷判決。希爾德的一位發言人說，“我們認為法院犯了一個錯誤，與第一修正案的公正與公平相悖。因此，我們對判決提出上訴。雖然，我們知道這會點燃社交媒體，但我們需要採取措施來確保公平和公正。”

When it comes to

protecting the fundamental right of Freedom of Speech， we look at the jury‘s decision — to paraphrase a famous quote — not ’as the beginning of the end， but merely the end of the beginning，‘” a spokesperson for the actress said。 “A different court

warrants

different representation， particularly as so much new evidence is now

coming to light

。”

從那以後，希爾德聘請了新的法律顧問。她的發言人說，“當談到言論自由基本權利的保護時，我們來看看陪審團的決定吧——套用一句名言——這不是結束的開始，而是一開始就結束了。不同的法院需要不同的代表，特別是現在有如此多的新證據浮出水面。”
