Defense testimony continues as the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard enters its sixth week.
Depp, 58, is suing his ex-wife Amber Heard, 36, for $50 million for defamation after a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she referred to herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse, two years after she filed for a divorce and a restraining order. Depp, who has denied all allegations of abuse, said the op-ed ruined his reputation and career. Heard countersued the actor for $100 million for defamation after his lawyer told the media that her claims were a hoax.
As a result, Moore said, Depp’s description of what happened did not line up with the evidence Moore reviewed — and he did not see any glass shards or other lacerations or injuries on his hand. Using an X-ray of the finger shown to jurors, Moore said that type of injury usually happens when a finger is squeezed between two hard, opposing surfaces.
Depp attorney Wayne Dennison cross-examined Spiegel and took particular issue with the fact that Spiegel had never directly evaluated Depp, but Spiegel said that if experts were allowed to testify only about subjects they had personally evaluated, the whole legal system would be “null and void.
Arnold pointed to another issue raised by Depp’s legal team: a Hollywood Reporter article published on Dec. 20, 2018 — two days after the op-ed — in which Disney executive Sean Bailey confirmed that Depp would not be moving forward as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
