The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star’s defense team may be able to turn the case in Depp’s favor, if they can prove the photos were doctored.

Heard alleged that Depp gave her two black eyes, a broken nose, and a beat-up lip during an abuse incident.

Previous police body cam footage shows the actress had no injuries around that time.

Depp’s lawyers believe Heard used an app called Photo 3 to alter her photos.

The legal team also claims the photos were changed three years after they were initially taken.

As part of the legal battles, Depp is suing for $50 million in compensation for lost wages resulting from his poor public image due to this case.

Heard took $7 million in their divorce settlement.

Heard claimed she donated that money, and Depp’s team has proven otherwise.
