After six weeks of testimony, the jury decided that Johnny Depp was defamed but awarded him more money. The analysis questioned the authenticity of injury photos submitted by Johnny Depp. They were accused of editing photos of alleged abuse during their trial. The documents from the trial were made public. Newly revealed court documents show that Johnny Depp was accused of editing photos and audio of Heard that were submitted as part of their defamation trial. Heard's team, including lawyers Benjamin Rotterborn and Elaine Bredehoft, claimed in a motion request that the photos were altered years after they were taken, according to a document that was released over the weekend. According to the motion, a photo that was supposed to have been taken in 2015 had a creation date of 2019: Heard's team said that a photo did not have a creation date but had a modified one. According to the request, the audio files provided had been edited. The full audio was requested. Ackert, who was hired by Heard's team to review the documents, questioned their authenticity. Heard's team said that missing creation dates and modification dates can be a sign of digital evidence manipulation. The court ruled that Ackert's testimony wouldn't be allowed during the trial. Ackert's findings would create "unfair prejudice" that would "mislead the jury," according to the team of Johnny Depp.
Heard came under scrutiny during the trial after two images of her bruise from May 2016 were shown side-by-side.
Heard denied that she edited the photos to make her face appear red. The photos were different because of the lighting.
The witnesses brought by the lawyer said they didn't notice the bruise on Heard's face.
Heard's photos were original, according to Ackert. Bryan Neumeister testified that he couldn't confirm whether or not the photos were altered.
The lawyer didn't respond to the request for comment.
