Expert Analysis Suggests Amber Heard’s Abuse Photos Are Edited

A metadata specialist testified as a counter-witness in the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial that he reviewed numerous of Heard’s images that show alleged evidence of bruising and declared that he had no method of validating them.

Norbert Bryan Neumeister exhibited the statistics of numerous images given by Heard that indicated bruising on her arms or face.

As Law & Crime Network reported on Twitter, utilizing Exif data analytics, Neumeister discovered that some of the photographs suggested that the software for the file was not from an iPhone, but was rendered in an editing tool.

All three files “do not match forensically,” according to Neumeister, and “had to go through some type of alteration to change sizes.”

Neumeister indicated in his testimony concerning the photographs that no forensic specialist can confirm these photos, and that he believes several of them were manipulated.

Camille Vasquez, Depp’s attorney, has in one of her cross-examinations, accused Heard of manipulating her injury images.

In Heard’s defense, the actress argued that two images offered to the court side by side were taken separately with different lighting.

“The light is on both of these pictures though,” Vasquez countered. One of the lights, according to Heard, is a “vanity light.”

“Isn’t it true that you edited these photographs?” Vasquez told Heard. “And you just enhanced the saturation from one of these photos to make your face look more red.”
