A Los Angeles lawyer is recruiting Johnny Depp to help prove his client, accused of murder, is insane.

You have to give Nancy Lekon's lawyer points for thinking outside the box while plotting her insanity defense.

The California woman is due to stand trial for murder after killing a pedestrian while driving through Los Angeles' Skid Row neighborhood in 2009.

Her defense? She was there for a scheduled tryst with Johnny Depp.

And so, TMZ reports, that Depp was served a subpoena Thursday night at the premiere of his film Transcendence, with the hope that his testimony will prove Lekon is not of sound mind.
