Miss Amber Heard testified that she took two photographs of herself on May 21, 2016, and the one on the right might have been taken the next day due to the light in the background. She also testified that the photos were taken the same day, but not necessarily on the same day.
A photo of Amber’s bleeding lip and bruised face, as evidenced by her team in the ongoing defamation trial against Johnny Depp, has been labeled as fake by Depp’s legal team and the jury agrees.
The photo evidence did not match Amber’s initial allegations timeline, and judge Penny Azkarat banned Amber’s legal team from using the image in court as they failed to submit it during the discovery phase prior to the trial.
The subject picture of Amber is dividing opinions, with some claiming that Amber was subjected to violence by the pirates of the Caribbean star for the first time in 2013 a year after the alleged picture was captured. A source close to Amber heard reportedly told TMT that the actress was left confused about the dates she mentioned in the UK trial. The insider further argued that records from Amber’s therapist showed that Depp’s alleged abuse dates back to 2012, rendering the timing of the alleged photo valid during her testimony.
Amber accused Depp of committing domestic abuse during their past relationship in marriage, speaking about one such incident where she claimed that Depp backhanded her during a fight. She further alleged that her lip was injured by Depp’s rings and left behind a bit of blood. Amber’s team then cited the 2012 photo of the actress showing her lip injury and holding a sign saying “I shall return,” claiming that Depp had left the sign for the actress after their altercation.
As Amber’s legal team attempted to present the photo before the jury, depp’s lawyers argued that the picture could not be used as evidence since the defense team did not submit the document during the discovery phase of the defamation case. Judge Azkarat accepted the objection placed forward by Depp’s team and ruled that the alleged photo could not be produced in court as evidence.
There has been some back and forth between the legal teams of the former Fantastic B star and the current Aquaman 2 star in the press, with both sharing different takes on the court events. Amber’s legal team shared the following statement: “Panic Depths is fighting tooth and nail to prevent compelling evidence and photos such as this from being introduced. They continue losing their strategy to distract the jury and demonize the defendant.”
Amber Heard’s alleged fake photos have caused uproar in courts, with a YouTube video comparing the original abuse photos to those published in the Sun article. The Sun claims that the photos were edited to make them appear worse, and the UK High Court ruled in favor of the media empire. However, Judge Cernickel, who oversaw the Sun vs. Sun libel case, argued that there was not sufficient evidence to prove that Depp was a wife-beater and instead chose to side with the publication.
The judge who oversaw the Sun vs. Sun libel case was close friends with the Murdoch family, and his son was a colleague of the person who wrote the slanderous piece on John Depp. Amber Heard fans are keeping an eye on developments and scrutinizing any strange details they may find.
Another fan has discovered that the Sun photoshopped pictures of Amber Heard to make her perceived injuries look worse. A 10-minute video comparing the original photos with the Sun’s slanderous article reveals that the Sun’s editor used filters and effects to darken marks and emphasize reds, making the pictures look worse. This new evidence could change the dynamics of the case if presented in the ongoing hearing in Virginia.
If the photo evidence is overturned by the jury, Amber will have little ammunition for her countersuit defamation case. More details on this case will be provided in upcoming videos, so be sure to subscribe to stay updated.
