Depp was handed a near-total victory last year in his highly publicised defamation trial with former wife, actor Amber Heard, with jurors awarding him over US$10 million in damages.

The actor is trying to rebuild his career after winning a near-total victory in his US legal battle with Heard, a fellow actor who had accused him of abuse.

She says she 'simply cannot go through' another trial.

Amber's attorneys had asked the judge in the case to throw out the decision and declare a mistrial, arguing that one of the jurors on the case should not have been eligible to serve because his summons was intended for his father, who had the same name and lived at the same address.

The lengthy, high-profile televised court battle ended, when a seven-person jury found that Depp and Heard had defamed each other, but weighed in far more strongly with Depp.

Her lawyer says Depp's team was 'able to suppress an enormous amount of evidence' that was allowed in a libel case in Britain, which Depp lost.

The jury, after a six-week trial, found that Depp and Heard had defamed each other, but weighed in far more strongly with the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star.

They say he has struggled with drugs and alcohol but 'is not a violent abuser'.

Heard wrapped up her testimony saying she has been 'harassed, humiliated, threatened' on social media since accusing the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star of physical and sexual abuse.

He maintains that he never committed sexual battery or physical abuse.

Judge says enough evidence has been presented for the seven-person jury to weigh the merits of Depp's defamation suit against Heard and her countersuit against him.

The 36-year-old Heard, during her testimony earlier this month, mentioned a reported incident in which Depp was alleged to have pushed Moss down a flight of stairs.
