Losses of millions, edited evidence and the “Russian trace”: new data on the case of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard published

In the case of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, new facts have appeared.

The Daily Beast reported that more than 6,000 pages of documents collected by lawyers for the trial were made available to the media.

Heard's representatives said many of the pieces of evidence were not used at trial.

According to the material, Heard's team estimates the loss of the actress in the amount of $ 47 million to 50 million due to Johnny Depp's "slanderous accusations" against her.

Heard's reputation has also suffered, allegedly comparable to the status of artists such as Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, Zendaya, Ana de Armas and Chris Pine.

The author of the article considers such statements by lawyers doubtful, since the listed actors are at a level above Heard.

The documents also show that the Aquaman star refused to accept the "tens of millions of dollars" due to her from Johnny Depp, which the actor received for his role in the fifth film of the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Since the tape was filmed while the couple were still married, the actress claimed half of Depp's income as joint property.

Johnny Depp's fee for the fourth part of the franchise amounted to $ 33 million, the fee for the fifth part could exceed this amount.

Heard's lawyers say Depp's team tried to use the death of her friend Logan against her by calling Heard's sister Whitney Henriquez as a witness.

During the hearing, Depp's lawyers asked Enriquez questions about a friend of Heard's, who died as a teenager in a car accident.

Enriquez said that this case had a strong impact on Heard - she was "devastated."

Depp's lawyers asked about the romantic relationship between Heard and Logan and whether Heard was with him on the day of his death.

In addition, Depp's lawyers pressured the witness to admit that the suspension of the actress's driver's license was connected with the accident in which Logan died, alluding to the fact that Hurd was driving the car at the time.

Enriquez answered all the questions of the lawyers in the negative.

Heard's team also insisted on exclusion from the case of inadmissible personal materials that represented the actress in a disadvantageous light.

“Mr. Depp is making inappropriate attempts to present as evidence the following irrelevant personal information: (1) Nude photographs of Amber Heard;

(2) footage of a reality show featuring Amber Heard's sister, Whitney;

(3) (information about. -

) past romantic relationships between Whitney and Amber;

(4) (information about. -

) Amber's brief work as an exotic dancer many years before she met Mr. Depp.

In addition, Mr. Depp is trying to make frivolous and malicious hints that Ms. Heard once provided escort services, ”Hard’s lawyers said.

Meanwhile, the documents, which include the correspondence of former Johnny Depp assistant Steven Deuters with Heard, speak of violence by the actor towards his ex-wife.

These materials were accepted for consideration by the British court, but they were not taken into account in the future.

Reports say that Depp allegedly punched Heard on board a private jet in 2014.

Duthers assured Heard that Depp was shocked after realizing his act.

“It’s sad that he doesn’t have a better way to assess the seriousness of his actions yesterday.

Unfortunately for me, I remember them in great detail.

He was shocked when I said that he kicked you, he was crying, ”Duters quotes the publication.

After that, Johnny Depp allegedly sent a message to Heard with an apology.

“I feel shame and remorse again.

Of course I'm sorry ... This will never happen again ... My illness crept up and took over me ... I'm terribly sorry that I let you down, ”Depp wrote in the message.

However, the legal company that defended the interests of the actor in court did not find confirmation of these words, stating that the text messages in question were not found in the iCloud (storage) of the actor and were lost in an unknown way.

Amber Heard insisted on a medical examination of the actor, but his lawyers filed a motion against.

They explained this by saying that the actor does not claim harm based on any specific physical or mental injury.

“The lawsuit filed by Mr. Depp does not specifically involve emotional harm, whether intentional or negligent;

(Mr. Depp. -

) does not state that Mrs. Heard's actions caused him specific psychological trauma;

and does not claim that Ms. Heard's actions caused an unusually strong emotional shock, ”The Daily Beast quotes Depp’s lawyers.

Heard's team also accuses Depp of modifying photo and video documents given as evidence.

According to them, Depp provided clipped audio recordings that begin and end in the middle of a sentence.

In addition, the originals of these files were created in September 2015, but were modified in June 2016, as well as immediately the day before the trial.

Team Heard's demands for full transcripts of the conversations were denied.

To support their case, Heard's lawyers enlisted the services of programmer Julian Akert, who stated that the multimedia data presented by Depp was "questionable", and the erased dates of the creation of documents and the dates of their modification could be a sign of manipulation of digital evidence.

Also, Heard's team appeals to the fact that Johnny Depp's lawyers did not allow further questioning of the actor about specific cases of Heard's violence against him.

Moreover, the lawyers opposed the appearance of actress Ellen Barkin as a witness.

She claimed that Depp, in a fit of anger, threw a bottle at her when they were a couple.

The testimony of psychologist Don M. Hughes, who diagnosed Heard with post-traumatic stress disorder because of Depp's abuse of her, was also not taken into account by the jury.

The documents also talk about Depp's correspondence with Paul Bettany, in which the latter suggests subjecting the actress to a "drowning test" to find out if she is a "witch".

Earlier, Depp's lawyers petitioned for the exclusion from the case of data on "Russian connections" of his lawyer Adam Waldman.

The lawyer allegedly hired Russian bots that campaigned against the actress on social networks.

The testimony of actress Ellen Barkin and the named doctors was excluded from consideration by the jury, but since the motions of the Depp team were not signed by the judge, they were still taken into account in the case.

In a lawsuit between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard, the jury ruled in favor of the actor, obliging the actress to pay Depp compensation in the amount of $8.35 million. sued his ex-wife, but did so after she herself publicly accused him of violence.
