Amber Heard spotted 'enjoying herself' at Hamptons bistro while her lawyers request a mistrial
Amber Heard is reportedly "enjoying herself" while she is still in the Hamptons after losing the high-profile defamation trial to her former husband, actor Johnny Depp. The legal battle, which went on for weeks, ended in Depp's favor after the jury found Heard's abuse allegations defamatory.
The 36-year-old 'Aquaman' actress has reportedly been spotted at Le Bilboquet in Sag Harbor twice in the past two weeks. "It was a casual dinner. A few people noticed her. She seemed to be enjoying herself," a source told Page Six. As per the portal, the restaurant declined to comment, and representatives for Heard chose not to comment or respond.

The French eatery has been a popular celebrity spot this summer, with stars like actor Austin Butler, model Kaia Gerber, director Steven Spielberg, actress Emily Blunt, and actor Hugh Jackman having dined there. Meanwhile, after the trial's conclusion, Heard has been spotted a few times publicly.
She was first seen in Water Mill in June having a low-key dinner with her sister Whitney Heard and children at Greek restaurant Calissa. Heard was also seen shopping at TJ Maxx in Bridgehampton and picking up grocery items at Citarella in Southampton. She is reported to have picked up cheerios, diet coke, and cauliflower, while Tate's cookies, a red pepper, and lettuce were also spotted in her shopping cart.

"She was very unassuming. She was very Hamptons casual. No makeup. Everyone left her alone," a fellow shopper told Page Six. Netizens had accused her of being "desperate" and staging the shopping photo. On the other hand, Heard's lawyers filed a 43-page motion last week asking a Virginia judge to toss her losing verdict, arguing that one of the jurors was not actually the person summoned for duty.
"Ms. Heard had a right to rely on the basic protection, as prescribed by the Virginia Code, that the jurors in this trial would be individuals who were actually summoned for jury duty. In this case, it appears that Juror No. 15 was not, in fact, the same individual as listed on the jury panel. Ms. Heard's due process was therefore compromised. Under these circumstances, a mistrial should be declared, and a new trial ordered," the new filing states, as per Deadline.
A wrong juror was used in Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp case which could lead to mistrial, as requested by Amber:

According to the portal, there are two individuals residing at the same address with the same last name. However, one is a 77-year-old while the other is 52. "The former was the one summoned, but it looks like the latter was the one who showed up," reports the portal. "Thus, the 52-year-old [redacted] sitting on the jury for six weeks was never summoned for jury duty on April 11 and did not 'appear in the list,' as required," the filing adds.
