Andrew Crawford
Andrew Crawford is an attorney on Johnny Depp's plaintiff legal team. He served as one of several trial counsel alongside lead attorneys Benjamin Chew and Camille Vasquez, contributing targeted examination work during the proceedings. His courtroom role was focused on a single witness but consequential to the April 2016 penthouse incident narrative.
Testimony Impact
Crawford handled both the direct and redirect examinations of Starling Jenkins III, Depp's longtime driver and security guard. On direct, he built a methodical chronological narrative of the April 21–22, 2016 period, eliciting Jenkins' eyewitness account that Heard bore no visible injuries and had herself described the bed defecation as a joke. On redirect, he rehabilitated Jenkins by reading the full second sentence of paragraph 13 from his UK witness statement — restoring the context that Rottenborn had cut short — and clarified that it was Amber, not Whitney, who fell ill at Coachella. Compact but precise, his examination closed off two avenues of doubt opened on cross.
Key Moments
Crawford elicited Jenkins' eyewitness account that he observed no visible injuries on Heard on the morning of April 22, directly rebutting her injury claims from the penthouse incident the night before.
