Washington: After undergoing four days of trail, Amber Heard finished her testimony on Tuesday, defending herself from allegations of faking her abuse
Washington: After undergoing four days of trail, Amber Heard finished her testimony on Tuesday, defending herself from allegations of faking her abuse claims against ex-husband Johnny Depp. The testimony turned bitter when Depp’s attorney Camille Vasquez, accused her of lying and suggested that she was the true abuser. She played audio recordings of arguments between the couple and read-aloud love notes that Heard had written to Depp after the alleged assaults, reports Variety.
“You weren’t scared of him at all, were you?” Vasquez asked Amber, to which she replied, “This is a man who tried to kill me. Of course, it’s scary. He’s also my husband.”
Heard is defending herself against Depp’s $50 million libel lawsuit. Depp’s team accused Heard of destroying his career with false accusations of physical and sexual assault. Depp gave his own account of their relationship over the course of four days in April, and the outcome of the trial will largely depend on which of the two the jury finds more trustworthy. In a very disturbing case, Heard testified that Depp had sexually attacked her with a bottle during an ugly fight while they were in Australia in March 2015. However, Depp denied this and accused her of throwing a bottle at him during their argument, which smashed and broke the tip of his middle finger. In her cross-examination, Depp’s attorney played the couple’s conversation after the fight, where Depp confessed that he had tried to escape the situation by locking himself in a bathroom, but that Heard had kept “coming to get me.
