New police testimony and never-before-seen bodycam footage 'proves' Amber Heard is lying about the blowout fight that ended their toxic 18-month marriage.
The actor's lawyers claim the lurid depictions of damage - including broken candelabras, glass strewn on the floor and red wine sloshed on the walls and carpets - are completely at odds with what police remember.
Four different LAPD officers visited the stylish, loft-style apartment in downtown Los Angeles within the space of two hours after Heard's pals mistakenly dialed 911 twice.
The first two cops have given new depositions within the past month reiterating that they swept the $1.5 million property but didn't see any injuries, vandalism or evidence of a crime.
The officers don't appear to spot anything suspicious, however, and there are no obvious signs of damage, disarray or staining to the floors or carpets in the three and a half minute videos.
Depp's attorney Adam Waldman says the footage proves there was never any wrecking spree and that Heard's account of the evening cannot be trusted.
'Amber Heard and her friends described a chaotic, messy crime scene but the newly released LAPD bodycam videos unambiguously show that the penthouse was utterly undamaged and that their testimony was one more grandiose lie,'
First on the scene around 15 minutes after the alleged assault were Tyler Hadden and Melissa Saenz, a domestic violence specialist, who say they swept both apartments but didn't see any injuries to Heard's face or evidence of vandalism.
'I did not identify her as a victim of domestic violence,' Saenz told Heard's attorney Elaine Bredehoft last month.
'We met with the victim, we checked the location, the husband wasn't there, and that the victim advised us she wasn't going to give us further information.'
Asked by Depp's attorney, Leo Presiado, if she remembered spotting anything resembling the damage depicted in Heard's photos during her protective sweep, Saenz replied: 'I did not.'
Hadden was similarly asked if he recalled any signs of vandalism, property damage or spilled wine. 'Not that I can recall,' he replied.
Neither Saenz or Hadden were wearing cameras as the devices were still being phased in by the LAPD and, as the UK judge noted, neither took down any written notes.
But the second set of officers, whose names have not been made public, both had cameras on when they arrived two hours after the fight.
Two male officers walking along a well-lit hallway before Pennington's husband, Josh Drew, answers the door to penthouse 3.
He offers to get Saenz's business card for them but they push the door open, saying they 'just want to make sure everybody's ok.'
The two cops are seen walking through a hallway and kitchen towards an open plan living area where there are three women sat on a couch and two small dogs scampering about.
The apartment is dimly lit but the footage captures tables and sideboards topped with an assortment of picture frames, ornaments, stacks of books and a large bottle of wine.
There are more candles, candelabras and a vase of flowers on top of the kitchen island but nothing appears to have been damaged or knocked over.
There are no obvious stains or puddles on the Persian rugs inside the property or on the walls or carpets in the corridor separating Depp's various homes, which he has since sold.
In previous evidence for Heard's divorce Drew described a 'gigantic wine stain throughout the entire hallway' – something that Waldman says it would have been impossible for two sets of cops to miss.
He added: 'You can see clearly in the police bodycam videos that all the items Ms. Heard and her friends claimed Mr. Depp smashed to smithereens with a wine bottle off the island in his penthouse kitchen – glass, fruit, baskets, vases and candelabras – are in perfect condition and tidily in their place.
Nor does the red wine they claimed that Mr. Depp splashed all over the light-colored hallway carpets and walls exist. These videos prove unambiguously that the first two police officers on the scene told the truth about no damage.
'It is not complicated: Ms. Heard and her confederates lied.'
In the meantime Heard's legal team has asked the judge to toss the case, arguing Depp's arguments were discredited in the London proceedings.
