Amber Heard Changes Testimony Mid-Trial: "I Just Had the Date Wrong"

There is an interesting shift in the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp case.  The case resumed recently and has already taken a surprising twist that might make Heard's stance weak.

The change of testimony by the Aquaman celebrity, Amber Heard, in the middle of the trial may shift the lawsuit in favor of Depp. The actress was taken by surprise when asked a question about the time when the first act of physical violence occurred.

From recordings of conversations between Depp and Heard to pooping the bed, the jurors have taken into account a lot of information, however, the recent statement by Heard might play a crucial role in the formation of the decision.

Amber Heard was asked when the first act of physical violence was faced by her. The actress responded:

"Well I have always believed up until recently that it was….it had started later. That the violence started around early 2013, not early 2012."

This was an opportunity for Depp's team who intervened immediately and posed a question that may damage Heard's case to a great extent. The attorney told that the actress had testified earlier that the first act of physical violence by Mr. Depp was related to Winona Ryder. 

Depp's lawyer inquired if Amber Heard has given the jury and the judge new information regarding Depp’s first act of physical violence. 

Even though Heard's side came forward to claim that the victim was being led, the jurors had already noticed the change in the testimony. Heard responded to the inquiry by saying:

"You never forget it. That’s how you remember it. It changes your life forever. You never forget when someone hits you like that. I just had the date wrong."

Responding to the question regarding wrong date, Heard said:

"I am embarrassed to say. I think I would have liked to believe that the period in which I had to fall in love with Johnny, and we fell in love, in which he was sober and he wasn’t violent to me, lasted for a lot longer than it did. Think I would have liked to believe that I wasn’t hit so early in the relationship and still stayed. He was also sober for a period in 2012 which was a peaceful time for us, in which we fell in love. So I had kind of allowed myself I guess, to forget that the beginning of that period – 2012, before he got sober was, really violent and chaotic as well. I am embarrassed to say that."

Johnny Depp, on the other hand, has claimed that he never hit Amber Heard and it was in fact, Heard who was abusive to him. While the recent recordings show that both sides might have been abusive, it appears that Heard's case is more serious as it indicates rage and violence.
