Скачать или смотреть DEPP V HEARD – WHAT ARE HER CHANCES ON APPEAL?

The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial riveted the country and the world, and now that Johnny Depp largely prevailed, the question is: What are Amber Heard's chances of winning the appeal?
First, you have to start with the understanding that it is very difficult to win an appeal, and anyone appealing an adverse verdict is facing a very daunting challenge.
Appeals are time-consuming and expensive and rarely result in a complete reversal of the verdict and the ordering of a new trial.
Most appeals fail because the parties cannot re-argue the facts of the underlying case. An appellate court does not review the facts or witnesses’ credibility and "does not second guess a jury determination”.
The only way Amber Heard can prevail on appeal is by proving that the trial judge made a serious error or errors that essentially made the trial unfair.
Examples would be admitting evidence that should have been excluded, excluding evidence that should have been admitted, or improperly instructing the jury.
An appellate court would review the judge's rulings and if it was concluded that a ruling affected the outcome of the case, that might lead to the verdict being overturned and a new trial ordered.

So although many would probably love to see Depp-Heard the Sequel, it is not a likely outcome from any appeal that Amber Heard may file.
