LAPD Officer Testifies In Court That She Saw No 'Signs Of Injury' On Amber Heard

A Los Angeles police officer has confirmed in court that Amber Heard is not a victim of domestic abuse as she testifies against the actor.

Head is facing $50 million defamation charges after her ex-husband Johnny Depp sued her when she lied about Depp abusing her during the time they were together. 

Heard wrote an op-ed in Washington Post on domestic violence and even though she didn't mention the actor, it was obvious the repercussions the article had on Depp's personal life and his career.

Yesterday at the court trial, LAPD officer Melissa Saenz spoke to the court from a pre-recorded deposition, in which she recalled visiting Depp and Heard's penthouse apartment in May 2016.

Heard's lawyer Elaine Bredehoft asked multiple questions from the officer and asked her details of the visit which was made after Heard claimed her then-husband struck her with a phone.

"I did not identify her as a victim of domestic violence," Saenz told the court. Bredehoft then inquired the officer on whether there had been any marks of violence or bruising on Heard's face that would corroborate her claim Depp had hit her.

"What is your perception of the redness on the cheek and the eyelid and above the eyebrow?" Bredehoft asked.

Saenz responded that the redness betrayed nothing more than the fact Heard had been crying, saying: "It's consistent with her crying - she has fair skin, her face is flushed."

"You don't think it's consistent with a cell phone being thrown at her?" Bredehoft persisted.

Saenz stood firm in her assessment, saying: "It does not look like an injury caused by a cell phone. It's consistent with someone crying."

Heard's attorney then asked if there had been any signs or symptoms of struggle or violent outburst on the property - but the officer confirmed there had not.

"Now, your recollection is that there was damage to the flat. You searched the entire flat and there was no damage, no broken glass, or anything out of the ordinary, would you agree?" Bredehoft asked.

"Correct," Saenze confirmed.

The lawyer then asked: "If you saw any signs of injury on Amber Heard or even just damage to the property, would you have been duty bound to make a report?"

"Correct," Saenz replied again.

One week after Saenz visited their property, Heard filed for divorce from Depp and organized a restraining order against him.

Amber Heard will soon be taking the stand after Johnny Depp wraps up his testimony.
