is once again being challenged after Heard's legal team filed paperwork Friday seeking a mistrial, stating that the wrong juror was seated for the lengthy defamation trial.
The five-page document filed in a Fairfax County, Virginia circuit court says that Juror No. 15"was not the individual summoned for jury duty on April 11, 2022." Heard's attorneys wrote that the correct juror was 77 years old at the time of the trial and Juror No. 15 was 52. The court documents claim that both people share the same last name and address.
"As the Court no doubt agrees, it is deeply troubling for an individual not summoned for jury duty nonetheless to appear for jury duty and serve on a jury, especially in a case such as this," the documents state.
