A hand surgeon testified 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 injury has been one of several points of dispute in the libel lawsuit.

Moore, who did not treat Depp, testified that Depp’s description is unlikely, in large part because his fingernail remained intact. Moore said the fingernail was exposed, as Depp described the placement of his hand, and would have been damaged. Moore also said there would have been other cuts on the rest of his hand from the glass that shattered on impact.

Depp now says he lied to protect Heard. Moore testified that getting the finger pinched in accordion doors would be consistent with the injury. Jurors had already heard from both Depp and Heard extensively — each was on the stand for four days, undergoing grueling cross-examinations.

Another bought out so-called information source. you are biased. Why don’t you write an ‘opinion’ on the holes in AmberHeards story.

vision of what’s going on is bias.

This is **a hand surgeon** chosen by AH’s team, not **the hand surgeon** worked on Depp’s finger & has no knowledge other than what AH team gave him. In fact, he testified that he have never seen the injury (other than 2nd hand pic) and didn’t know where severed finger was found.

That was a very weak testimony based on guessing and hearsay.

The hand surgeon did not see Depps finger first hand and he also stated that the hand was flat on the bar! Incorrect information. As per Depps testimony his hand was over the edge of the bar.

The same guy who didn't even looked at the pictures of where it happened?

Umm shes on tape admitting she did it bro

They did not ask if they believed it could have happened the way Amber described either though

Why is everyone overlooking the fact that Heard is on audio actually admitting she did it, and even apologising saying, as per usual, that she didn't mean to do it. Why is this even being contested?

🙄I’m telling it again. How do you judge 6 of one&half dozen of tuva? &thank goodness the longest running whinging soap in history made by partytime actors who indulged in overmuch too many times is being binned by the end of the week😴

They did not show him the actual photos of the bar or the broken glass. They ranted his thoughts. That was done to prove their story. Plus if it miss the nail the nail would not be damaged. It is crush injury

How many James Bonds have there been? That's Show Business. And Pirates will go on.

Depp is a self entitled druggy. Cut him off

Not sure how this headline can pass while not mentioning the prosecution's cross examination of the surgeon. In short, the Dr completely mischaracterized the position of his hand and never reviewed evidence of the scene.

Very disappointed in the time spent on this article. It’s not balanced. If you watch the cross, Depp’s team revealed he didn’t look at the evidence. SMH

The surgeon can't really say that as fact. He wasn't there and he wasn't the surgeon who saw JD so how is his testimony reliable.

So this a crap journal

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.'

expert is adamant it was NOT cut off w/a Knife like AH claimed. It was crushed. A heavy bottle traveling at velocity is capable of crushing a finger. why does AH change the story back & forth

Yall can stop trying to help her public image. It's dead and buried. Rightfully so.

So I think 🤔 he will win

Literally who gives a giant fuck?
