  "description": "Rottenborn opened Day 5 by cross-examining security guard Sean Bett, using Depp's own 2017 texts to contradict Bett's account of Depp's moderate drinking and establishing through surveillance footage that Bett's May 21 timeline was off by roughly 50 minutes; deposition testimony further impeached Bett on whether he had ever seen Heard act violently. Redirect partially rehabilitated Bett before sound technician Keenan Wyatt took the stand, testifying that Depp's earpiece use was an established artistic technique and that he had never witnessed Depp be violent toward anyone. On cross, Wyatt's credibility as a character witness was diminished when he conceded knowing about the Greg Brooks lawsuit — directly undermining his direct-examination claim. The day's most anticipated moment arrived when Johnny Depp himself took the stand, opening with a flat denial of ever striking Heard or any woman, then tracing a childhood defined by maternal abuse and an opioid addiction he attributed to a documented film injury rather than recreational use.",
