Johnny Depp has been dragged into a "bizarre" murder case by a lawyer who wants to prove that his client is insane.
The 50-year-old actor was served legal documents at the premiere of his upcoming sci-fi movie, 'Transcendence'.
Nancy Lekon, who has been charged with murder, was driving a limo in downtown L.A's Skid Row neighborhood back in 2009 and allegedly mowed down a pedestrian, dragging her for a mile and killing her, TMZ.com reported.
At that time, Lekon, who has pled not guilty, had told the cops that she was in a relationship with Depp.
The lawyer now wants Depp to testify to show the jury that his client is delusional.
