The one-page notice filed in Fairfax County Circuit Court had to be entered within 30 days of the June 24 judgment and is a precursor to a comprehensive motion that will lay out in detail Heard's grounds for appeal.
"We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the First Amendment. We are therefore appealing the verdict," Heard's spokesperson said in a statement.
