FALLS CHURCH, Va.
Heard, who had just filed for divorce, arrived at a Los Angeles courthouse that day to seek a temporary restraining order, showing up with a clear mark on her face, which she said Depp inflicted during a fight six days prior.
On Wednesday, jurors in the case heard from police officers who responded to the couple’s penthouse immediately after the fight.
He said neither Heard nor anyone at the penthouse complex was willing to tell him or the other officers who Heard’s husband was.
An officer who made a follow-up visit that night, William Gatlin, testified Wednesday that he saw no injuries either, though he acknowledged that his visit was brief and he got no closer than 10 feet from Heard.
Heard’s lawyers, in their questions, have suggested that Heard could have covered her injuries with makeup, because at that point she still wanted to protect Depp.
Jurors also heard recorded testimony Wednesday from Christian Carino, an agent who represented Depp and Heard and was friends with both.
Carino also testified that Heard twice tried to reconcile with Depp, even after she filed for divorce — once in 2016 and again in 2017.
He also testified briefly about Heard’s subsequent relationship with tech entrepreneur Elon Musk.
