Suing for damages in excess of $50,000,000, a trail date is now set for February 3, 2020 in relation to Johnny Depp’s defamation case against Amber Heard is heading for a 12 days lengthy trail according to a Virginia Judge who made the motion on Thursday 27^th of June.

A hearing on Heard’s motion to dismiss the case is scheduled for Friday 28^th 2019.

Accord to multiple reports, Johnny Depp sued Heard for defamation over an op-ed Heard wrote last year where she referred to herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”

In his lawsuit, Depp takes issue with an article Heard wrote for the Washington Post in December 2018, in which she referred to herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”

Although Johnny Depp was not named, he claims the entire article “depends on the central premise that Ms. Heard was a domestic abuse victim and that Mr. Depp perpetrated domestic violence against her.”

He claims that Heard’s abuse allegations were “conclusively refuted by two separate responding police officers, a litany of neutral third-party witnesses, and 87 newly obtained surveillance camera videos.”
