SEAN BETT
The jury in Johnny Depp's defamation trial was shown dramatic pictures of injuries to his face which his security guard claimed were caused by Amber Heard.
Depp's security guard Sean Bett took the stand Monday and described taking photos of the actor as 'evidence' after Heard allegedly assaulted him.
The first incident happened in March of 2015 and Bett said that Depp had a 'swollen cheekbone and eyelid' - a picture was shown to the jury.
He said: '(Depp) needed it as evidence in case Miss Heard tried to make allegations towards Depp. I was emphatic, that's a serious mark.'
The second alleged abuse by Heard happened in December 2015 and they 'got into an argument and she scratched him', Bett said, pointing to his nose.
He said: 'He had scratch marks around his nose area. On one of the sides of his face and the cheek area.'
The court was shown three photos, the first of which shows a laceration on the left side of Depp's nose and a red scratch mark on the forehead.
The second showed scratch marks on the right hand side, according to Bett. The third photo shows a scratch to the lower right part of the chin.
Bett said that Heard and Depp's relationship devolved into 'constant bickering.'
One time Bett claimed that he overheard Heard saying to Depp: 'He's a fat a**. F**k you Johnny, and you too Sean' - it was not clear who the 'fat a**' was.
Bett said that he was that the night in May 2016 that was the final confrontation between Depp and Heard at their penthouse apartment before they divorced.
Bett and Jerry Judge, a former Depp employee, heard the 'screaming and shouting coming from Miss Heard' while they waited outside.
Bett said he and Judge 'immediately' ran inside and Heard had a 'look of surprise' on her face.
He said: 'She shouted this is the last time you do this to me.
Depp looked at her and said what the hell are you talking about?
'Judge tapped Depp on the arm and said boss, let's leave. We exited the front door.'
Asked if Heard had any injuries or redness on her face, Bett said no.
Less than a week later Heard filed for a divorce from Depp and a restraining order including a photo of her face with a bruise on it.

DEBBIE LLOYD
The court heard from Debbie Lloyd, Depp's personal nurse who recounted her medical notes of their first meeting in June 2014.
Notes stated: 'Patient is feeling exhausted and wants to stay home but does not want to upset fiancé so instead they were going to dinner.
October 23, notes stated that Depp was 'agitated' that Heard was using the term 'mania' to describe his behavior because it would 'excuse her from any fault during arguments.' Depp was 'upset by this label.'
She said that 'at times she would try to instigate him,' referring to Heard.
Lloyd said she saw this on more than one occasion. She told the court: 'I remember an argument, being there he was going from room to room trying to remove himself from the situation and she would follow him from room to room and not give him his space.'
Asked if she saw Heard doing this on other occasions, Lloyd said: 'Yes
A note from a consultation on March 7, 2015, shortly before the finger incident, reads: 'Patient discussed feeling of anger and sadness about relationship.
'Patient was encouraged to stay away from wife as (the) relationship is toxic. Patient expressed verbal understanding and why they need to separate.'
Depp admitted he 'punched a white board in the kitchen' after a fight with Heard, the notes stated.
The medical notes said of Depp: 'Patient expressed fears of never feeling normal without his drugs.'
According to the medical notes Depp was 'texting a friend explaining why he didn't show up to play music and fianceé got upset that he was not giving her enough support and the fight escalated from there.'
The notes say: 'Patient refused to lie down as he didn't want fianceé to think he didn't care by falling asleep'.
DR KIPPER
The court watched pre-recorded video deposition from Dr. David Kipper.
Depp hired him to treat him for opioid addiction in May 2014 and engineered a plan whereby he would detox on his island in the Bahamas.
Kipper was asked about texts he exchanged with Depp. On March 7, 2015, Depp wrote, 'Hi f*ck man had another one. I cannot live like this. She is as full of s**t as a Christmas Goose.
'I'm done. NO MORE!!!! Constant insults released from a malicious evil and vindictive c*nt!!!!! You know what's far more hurtful than her venomous and degrading educational ranting??? Her hideously and purposely hurtful tirades and her goddamn shocking treatment of the man she was meant to love above all.'
Here's the real deal mate…her obsession with herself is far more important. She is so f**king ambitious!!!! She's so desperate for success and fame. That's probably why I was acquired, mate. She has hammered me with what a sad old man has been I am.
I'm so very sad.
another message to Dr. Kipper sent on July 24, 2015, Depp ranted about how Heard was 'condescending' to him by telling him 'hippie s**t.'
Depp said that Heard told him things like: 'Your fear is so visible, what are you scared of.'
He said that it 'makes me want to rampage against anyone wearing Birkenstocks.'
His initial diagnosis for him was: 'ADHD, Bipolar 1, depression , insomnia, chronic substance abuse disorder, chronic reflux.'
Dr. Kipper said that during a consultation in person with Depp and Heard in June 2014 in Boston she made no mention about Depp being violent.
One of Depp's lawyers asked Dr Kipper: 'Did she (Heard) ever seek treatment for injuries as a result of domestic abuse?'
Dr. Kipper said: 'No she did not.'
Depp's lawyer asked: 'Did she ever seek treatment for injuries caused by Mr Depp?'
Dr. Kipper said: 'No she did not.'
Asked if Heard ever told him that Depp abused her, Dr. Kipper said: 'No she did not.'
Dr. Kipper said he 'never' witnessed Depp physically abusing Heard and never saw any such injuries on her.
. Kipper told the court that at Depp's request he flew to Australia in March 2015 while he was filming the latest installment of the Pirates film series.
It was there that Heard and Depp had a fight.
She claims that he cut his own finger off during the row while Depp claims she sliced it off by throwing a bottle at him.
Kipper said: 'I did go in (to the property). After I saw him I went in to instruct one of the people with him to look for the tip of the finger hoping we could put it back.
'It was found.'Dr. Kipper said a man called 'chef' found it.
He said: 'He said he found it in the kitchen area', where Depp and Heard had been fighting.'
Dr. Kipper said that Heard was 'certainly upset' but she did not seek any medical attention from him and did not have any visible bruises.
November 11, 2014, Depp texted Lloyd: 'I'm feeling so f*****. Why was she at the goddam wrap party until 5am? Lies are so clear now. What was so interesting to keep her there so goddam long. I must have truth. She wants a change and is going to change.
'Help. I don't know what's real and what's paranoiac jealousy.'
Lloyd was present in Australia when Depp cut his finger after the fight with Heard.
She said that inside the house she saw 'some writing on the wall and I remember a smashed TV.'
After the episode in Australia Dr. Kipper withdrew his care for Depp which meant that Lloyd stopped working for him too - they appear to have patched things up later on.
