Associated: Amber Admitted To Violence Towards Johnny Depp In Audio Leak
Thus far it has admittedly been a LOT. Will it’s a preponderance, which is what the US authorized system requires? We will see…
At subject within the newest revelations is the testimony of police who arrived on the former couple’s residence on the night of their alleged Might 2016 battle, the one which ended the connection for good. This was the notorious brawl through which Amber claimed Johnny hurled a cellphone at her face.
She and her buddies additionally claimed of their statements that the actor smashed up the residence in his rage; descriptions included harm resembling damaged silver, items of shattered glass all around the flooring, crimson wine spilled on the carpet.
Nevertheless, as Depp’s attorneys level out, the most recent proof from the 2 units of law enforcement officials who visited the marital house clashes with the image they painted.

(Although, take note, it may well take a bit for a bruise to disclose itself.)

If that bodycam footage is actual and appropriately timestamped from simply after the alleged assault… effectively, something is feasible, however Staff Depp actually thinks it helps their case. As we’ve mentioned earlier than, although, at this level it’s an uphill battle for Depp — accumulating proof in pursuit of some magical quantity that can outweigh Amber’s phrase that he hit her.
