The police went to the apartment of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in Los Angeles

Agents of the Los Angeles Police (LAPD) appeared at the building where Johnny Depp and Amber Heard lived on the night of May 21, 2016, the date on which Heard had previously assured that he received blows from the actor.

On the third day of the trial that confronts the two actors, Judge Penney Azcarate, from Fairfax County (Virginia, USA). She reviewed the recordings taken by the security cameras of the East Columbia skyscraper, located in downtown Los Angeles and in which Depp owned five apartments.

In the images corresponding to May 21, 2016, the arrival of at least two police officers can be seen, a point that the property manager, Brandon Patterson, confirmed when questioned, although he stated that he did not remember more details of the scene.

Heard had previously alleged that Depp hit her with her phone earlier that day.

The actor and actress were present this Wednesday at a new session of the trial in which Depp accuses his ex-wife of defamation for an article he published in The Washington Post in 2018 after his divorce and in which he referred to herself as a person who had experience in what “domestic abuse represents”.

The process, which comes after a media trial in London for another similar article, is being broadcast live and will feature witnesses as famous as the actor James Franco or the billionaire Elon Musk.

Among the witnesses who have already intervened is a close friend of the actor, Isaac Baruch, who assured that he was aware of the couple’s discussions but does not remember seeing signs of violence.

Baruch said he met Heard the day after the alleged incident in May 2016 and she told him that “Depp got violent” and hit her.

“I looked at her completely and I didn’t see anything… No cuts, bruises, swelling. Only Amber’s face”, insisted the friend, who lived in the same block of flats and to whom Depp helped financially. Baruch described the accusations of abuse made by Heard

as a “malicious lie” and assured that they have greatly affected the family of Depp, according to statements collected by the US network Fox

News. The day before, the actor’s sister and assistant, Christi Dembrowski, went to whom Heard’s lawyers asked about several messages in which he asked her to stop using substances, although she assured him that he never worried about Depp having an addiction. The

the actor asks his ex-partner for 50 million dollars in damages.

For his part, Heard responded with a counterclaim in which he alleges that the actor has launched a smear campaign against him and claims 100 million.

It will be the first time that the two celebrities face each other in court. In the trial held in London, which Depp lost, the actress attended as a witness since the accusation was against The Sun for an article that described the actor as an “aggressor of women”.
