A few days before the end of his trial, Johnny Depp filed a motion to dismiss Amber Heard's complaint, which was dismissed.

Indeed, in response to the legal action of her ex-husband, the actress also filed a defamation complaint against him, considering him responsible for the comments of his former lawyer.

Adam Waldman had called the

Aquaman

star's accusations to the

Daily Mail

trumped up and "malicious".

She considers that these remarks cost her many job opportunities and claims 100 million dollars while Johnny Depp asks her for 50 million.

Judge Penney Azcarate believes that the jury is the only one able to rule on Amber Heard's complaint and that it has enough material to do so.

"It's not my role to measure the weight of evidence," she said, according to Deadline.

Parity

The request of the interpreter of Jack Sparrow is a classic step in this kind of trial and rarely granted.

Amber Heard had filed a similar request earlier this month before being called to the stand.

Judge Penney Azcarate also rejected it, citing the same reasons.

Seven jurors were selected in this trial.

They must rule on the two complaints of the actors at the end of the closing arguments which will take place this Friday.
