Surgeon casts doubt on Johnny Depp’s account of how he severed finger

Richard Moore says he is sceptical of claim that Depp injured finger during Amber Heard fight, as defamation trial enters final week

The defamation trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard entered its fifth and final week of testimony on Monday, with a witness for Heard testifying that Depp could not have lost the tip of his finger during a domestic fight in the way he had recounted.

The serious injury to his middle finger, which occurred during a March 2015 row in Australia between Depp and Heard during their brief marriage, has been one of several key points of dispute in the civil case.
