I suppose Johnny Depp can go back and sue his attorney,
since his attorney's statements were the ones that were
called out in Amber Heard's judgement.
Maybe.. but for a $2M diff, it's probably not worth it.
I doubt that his ex-wife won the $2M based on some statements
made by the opposing lawyers in the courtroom. My understanding
is that a counter-claim has to be filed BEFORE trial. So.. if
the woman won a judgement, it was likely something that was
expressed by Johnny's counsel in the series of affidavits going
on back and forth before trial.
It's a never ending cycle of lawyers. I'm sure the
lawyer's lawyer will counter-sue.
We shall see. But a judge can just arbitrarily cut that short
and deny it.
