A hand surgeon testified Monday that Johnny Depp could not have lost the tip of his middle finger the way he told jurors it happened in his civil lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard.

The finger injury, which occurred in a March 2015 fight in Australia between Depp and Heard, has been one of several key points of dispute in the lawsuit. Depp says he was injured when Heard threw a vodka bottle at him. Heard has said she never saw specifically how it happened, but that it occurred on a night when an enraged Depp sexually assaulted her with a liquor bottle.

In testimony Monday, surgeon Richard Moore testified about the severed finger as jurors saw gruesome photos of the injury. He said that Depp described that his palm was down on a bar when it was struck by the bottle. Depp now says he lied to protect Heard. Moore testified that getting the finger pinched in accordion doors would be consistent with the injury.

'Flaws' according to a doctor who spent his entire testimony mischaracterizing what Johnny Depp said about his finger injury and making wild conclusions based on mischaracterized story. Hmm.

According to a Doctor Who didn’t treat him or put it back on.

The surgeon's testimony had many flaws.

You should watch more of the trial and not rely on hearsay 🤔

Both of them are nuts.

CTV News is as lousy as Fox News

CTV just killing it once again

can you do balanced coverage PLEASE- at least once in a while

To the many defenders of abuser JohnnyDepp: did Amber throw a broken bottle at the admitted druggie & alcoholic for no reason? And how exactly did she sever the finger: by whacking it directly or sending the bottle airborne? DeppVsHeard DeppVsHeardTrial MentalHealthAwareness

Kate Moss will likely also tell us how 'flawed' Ambers story of Johnny pushing her downstairs is and Jennifer Howell how 'flawed' the story of Johnny about to push Amber's sister downstairs is. Spoiler - it was actually Amber who was going to push her own sister.

He couldn't definitively say either way Waste of time

This man is exposing his whole life, 50mill. For what? To lie on this woman he divorced? And conveniently she counter sues for 100mill? She tricked ELON into a billion dollar egg baby, which he should seek custody! (his KARMA now) obviously she's a Hollywood Leach!

You mean the surgeon that charges $5,000 for his testimony and bills $1,000 per hour for his services? That surgeon..yea, he is super objective 🤣🤣🤣

Not to mention, there's an AUSTRALIA TAPE with Amber screaming, crying like the bipolar violent psychopath she is, 'I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT HIM, CAN I SEE HIM'? THEY USED JOHNNY FOR DRUGS & BOARD, THE MEAL TICKET RAN OUT, SO THEY'RE RUNNING TO THE 100 MILLION DOLLAR TICKET!

The surgeon came to the conclusion by keeping the hand flat on the table, rather than over the edge of the bar, as Johnny had said.

The doctor's testimony had flaws. He specifically kept his hand flat on the table to make it impossible when Johnny specifically said that his fingers were over the edge of the bar. The bottle was photographed at the scene and the blood was there. There was no wall phone.

Dr's are just normal people, with an, IN AMBER'S CASE, VERY EXPENSIVE EDUCATED GUESS! MY GENIUS DR TOLD ME I'M GOING TO DIE, IF I DON'T TAKE MY MEDS, I SAID NO SHIT SHURLOCK! YOU GONNA DIE TOO, A HEALTHY DEATH, AT LEAST I DIE OF SOMETHING, MY WAY AND NOT FROM BEING HEALTHY DUH!

Yall lose lol

A just world I will to leave behind as a world to please those who mind, not minerals, but funerals. Tell Just he messed with the wrong word today. Thru thou

The physics community says that he couldn't have shattered the bone and cut his finger off the particular way it was cut off in self-injury. Plus, it is his right-hand middle finger and he is right-handed.

Gotcha Johnny! IStandWithAmberHeard

The other night, I had to much to drink. I blacked out. Can’t remember a thing. I didn’t hurt anyone physically, just a bunch of drunk texting. But hurting people comes in many forms. I pledge to never drink to excess again, I’m calling it “the Amber pledge”. Pls retweet!

So you people at really want to get cancelled is what you are saying? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Goofballs JusticeForJohnnyDepp

This couple seem entitled, unpleasant & disturbed.

CTV, if you're going to report in the MOST researched/investigated legal drama right now, Please be INFORMED 🙄

FLAWED AH EXPERT Camille: 'This is a picture from the bar area where Mr. King testified he found Mr. Depp's finger.' 'So you didn't consider any of this evidence when rendering your opinion about how Mr. Depp injured his finger in Australia, did you?' Dr. Moore: 'I did not.'

That’s just, like, his opinion

His hand had no glass in it..that literally should tell you he was lying. How can an exploding bottle not leave any fragments?

Surgeon obviously hired by Heard team 🥴

Ok and the Dr didn't know anything about what happened to his finger. They need to coach their witnesses better. It's embarrassing at this point

Desperate for clicks, this so called surgeon is a paid professional witness, he has no first hand account of anything and got torn to shreds on the stand. CTV do better!!

We all have flaws.

Shocked such an experienced surgeon would not allow for a freak accident that goes against the norm. I have managed to have several freak accidents. Freak Accidents Happen!!!

You mean the surgeon who got eviscerated on the stand? The one who had never seen the photos of Depp's finger being found surrounded by blood splatters, right next to a vodka bottle? That guy? Seems legit

Click Bait. This is NOT what the doctor said.

Surgeons testimony had flaws. Worse expert witness ever.

Wasn't he also the lawyer's in house surgeon?

The surgeon who has never seen, spoken to or treated Johnny Depp? The surgeon who testified he could not say definitively what caused the injury? That surgeon Shame on you for pushing this ridiculous “news”

So Amber - digit…..digit do it

I was not expecting that ending to the article

Has flaws but Depp attorney had the Dr changing his words.

No it doesn’t, the surgeon was a fool.

Stop with these blatantly money driven garbage ass articles

No flaws, Mr.Depp has proven he’s more credible than the turd. We need to flush that down Hollywood sewers

In the article a psychiatrist says JD’s behavior matched that of “drug and alcohol related dementia abuse”. So everyone is going to write this man off as a druggie instead of looking at the facts?

this article is rediculous. all there “evidence” is based on others opinions, not facts. why are we asking a doctor who DIDNT treat JD about the injury JD had.

So what i'm getting is, you didn't watch the cross examination by Camille? Because it's clear that it's actually the doctor's opinion that has flaws

Amber Heard's team really knows how to pick their witnesses! Lol!

bruh

If he was so concerned about it why was he dipping the stub in paint and writing all over the house? Because that's what drug addicts do!

That surgeon was schooled big time wtf is wrong with you people stop with the lies

Ah… selective reporting from CTV. I’m sure you’ll be reporting nonstop now that AH is outta time and it’s basically just Depp’s rebuttal for a couple days? No? How come, I wonder?

Funny how this expert could not go with amber Heard’s version soooooo he chose a completely made up possibility because bi-fold doors have safety measures in place.

This blokes on the payroll of £5k a day lol. That’s where ambers £7m went

Good thing it wasn't actually Johnny Depp's severed finger story, as easily determined on cross. Depp's hand wasn't flat on the bar top as described by the surgeon. He confirmed it was a crush injury like in Depp's story. Heard's story is that he cut it off with a broken phone.

Amber has flaws all over the place

6 weeks of trials and this is what CTV headlines with? Not the shit Heard left on the bed, but lets go with the severed finger. Tabloid

Shot take by CTV as usual.

Why is the media not talking about AH stories that have several flaws? Who paying ya’ll? Is infuriating how rich people get to pay the media to control the narrative

This surgeon was such a quack. Do not believe these bias headlines.

the witness has flaws, wasn't there, didn't see the finger and hasn't. Changed his testimony etc. This tweet of yours has flaws

Says surgeon who didn't read the notes, examined the finger or Mr Depp. Says Surgeon who is paid $5000 by Heard's team to testify. Fixed the title for you

Why didn't this doctor just say, 'I fucking hate Johnny.' I would've understood that.

Well that was a total fail.

Will this ever be over? So many pressing issues in the world, WTF?

But certainly not as many flaws as his finger does.

He isn’t a expert, I definitely need to see his his credentials as we learned today not all Dr’s are qualified just because Dr is in ur name 😉

And AH would have received 50 million for her films 🤣

If you're not even gonna watch the trial, don't write crap. We already know yall are paid by the PR guy, and I hope it's enough to never get any travel to your site again because ALL news pages that write like this killed any credibility they could have. Media already has little

The doctor was flawed. He cannot say that the finger was not amputated or splintered fracture by a bottle. He didn’t even review the “crime scene”, as AH’s peeps didn’t give him that to review.

In the Desert...40 Days and 40 Nights

Too much drama

They may as well put doctor Quinn on stand...

do you trust this junkie?

Stay in your lane.

Father of baby! 🤥😂😂😂😂

Murder Trials take less time 🤣🙄🤯

I wonder how many flaws total all of Heards stories have, why is this trial still going on we all know she's guilty and should be charged with assault she openly admitted to hitting him

The big flaws being that the severed finger tip would have looked alot different if it happened the way Dep claims. IStandWithAmberHeard JusticeForAmberHeard JusticeForAmber AmberHeard DeppVHeardTrial

Come on....you didn't pay attention to the cross....tsk tsk tsk

Drop’s whole story has flaws.

The flaws: AH has 3 different versions of how this happened. This surgeon never treated Depp. Great journalism CTV 👍

Why would they put him on the stand? He wasn’t even the surgeon.

It's the only hard evidence of physical abuse shown to this jury throughout the course of the trial. Do you think the description of the injury by a paid witness is going to matter? No, it will not. DeppVsHeard

So Heard got the hand surgeon to testify and I'm sure he got paid... I guess you could say then Amber gave him a handjob, right?

So many fake accounts on this thread…. Weird!

Surgeon who never saw him? Is this the one Camille had admit maybe he was incompetent This is the biggest S. show one could imagine. 😂😂

NO IT DOESNT, were you watching the case? Or just being bias? 😂

C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Diagnosis\\FeedbackArchive

Not according to those who actually did the surgery.

So they’re saying that it was less of severance and more of a circumcision. Seems about right.

the lady at the end 😭

So does everything Amber has said so far!

It may have flaws, but the severed finger episode had Depp in stitches!

what a long AmberHeardJohnnyDepp trial. All their personal stuff out there. I don’t think Amber’s career will flourish

You need a better lawyer

The surgeon’s story was shown to have flaws. IBelieveJohnnyDepp JusticeForJohnny

Sure does. AH has three stories how it happened. 1. Broken bottle 2. Smashing a phone. 3. And the one she doesn't know!!!!

GET YOURS HERE ⏰13$ ONLY 🐶What a hilarious excuse to tell people the reason why you’re late GET YOURS HERE

Thanks CTV for your fair and unbiased news! (well researched too!)

In cross examination he admited to not having all the facts nor looking at or examining the finger or area where this occured. HEARSey

I think you need to interview a personal injury lawyer as well to get the full story. One of the “experts” seemed to make assumptions.

1.5m bot followers.

that witness is obviously paid a lot of money to say that He is corrupt

I argue with a friend that I will gather 1000 people on the stream, help if there are 1000 online, I will take off my bra

Heard's lawyers try to poke holes in Depp's libel lawsuitAttorneys for actor Amber Heard spent much of last week trying to portray her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, as a jealous and drunken abuser who can only blame himself for his nose-diving Hollywood career. Women who falsely accuse men should face jail time. I'm sure even most women would agree. Some of us can remember when DEPP and ex G/F Kate Moss made headlines weekly in the media for their LEGENDARY brawls destroying hotel rooms, it got so bad, they were banned from Hotels.. Facts..Depp is not as he is presented He always was an abusive drunk As far as I can see, they're both bonkers!
