Kevin Murphy was testifying in Depp’s libel suit against a British tabloid that accused the actor of physically abusing Heard, his ex-wife.
“She wanted me to say essentially that it was my fault in one way or another that the paperwork wasn’t completed, so that I could take the blame for her," Murphy said. In a written witness statement for Depp’s libel case, Murphy said Heard asked him to falsely claim that she didn't know it was illegal to bring the dogs to Australia, which has strict animal quarantine rules.
Murphy gave evidence to the case at the High Court in London by video link from Chicago. He was accused of lying by The Sun’s lawyer, Sasha Wass, who pointed out that he had subsequently made a misleading declaration in the Australian court case. “Why on Earth did you not go to Mr Depp to ask him to intervene rather than just lying on oath?” the lawyer asked.Heard is due to give evidence in the case later this week.
