MR. ROTTENBORN: You're loyal to Mr. Depp?
STARLING JENKINS III: Him and his family. And his family.
MR. ROTTENBORN: You're loyal to Mr. Depp, right?
MR. ROTTENBORN: Now, I want to turn to the night of April 21st, 2016. Just to recap, you said you were working a security shift at Amber's birthday at the Eastern Columbia Building that evening, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you said that your shift ended around 11:15, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you said the boss still hadn't shown up by the time that you left the Eastern Columbia Building, right?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: So you have no idea where Mr. Depp was or what he was doing from 9:30 p.m. that evening until at least 11:15 when you lift the Eastern Columbia Building, right?
STARLING JENKINS III: No. I do know what he was doing. He was attending to his mother.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. You weren't with him.
STARLING JENKINS III: I had information.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. All right. That's information I that you received, but you have no personal I knowledge of that? 'I 13
STARLING JENKINS III: I have no reason to doubt it. It came from Sean.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Oh, okay. So Mr. Bett told you that?
STARLING JENKINS III: The boss was out then.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Mr. Bett told you that he was tending to his mother that night?
STARLING JENKINS III: He didn't say mother. He said the boss was out then. I'm aware of what the situation was, the time frame. He's with his mother.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. All right. Interesting. Okay. And did you have any understanding that he had a meeting with his new business manager earlier that evening where he was told that he was running out of money and that his taxes hadn't been paid in years? Did you have any understanding of that?
MR. CRAWFORD: Objection. Foundation. Calls for speculation.
THE COURT: I'll sustain the objection. Next question.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you didn't see Mr. Depp that night, right?
STARLING JENKINS III: No, I did not.
MR. ROTTENBORN: So you came back the next morning to escort Amber to Coachella, right?
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you say that Amber told you that she had thrown Mr. Depp's phone off the roof?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And did you come to understand that Mr. Depp had thrown her phone off the roof that evening prior to when Amber threw Mr. Depp's phone off the roof?
STARLING JENKINS III: She informed me of that.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. She informed you of that.
MR. ROTTENBORN: So when you went outside to look for Mr. Depp's phone, you weren't looking for Ms. Heard's phone, were you?
STARLING JENKINS III: She had her phone. She had her phone. She was trying to redownload and back it up.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. So she --you were only looking for Mr. Depp's phone when you went downstairs to try to -- you found it with an unhoused person you said, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. And did I hear you right that you said it was six miles away where you found the phone?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: It actually wasn't six miles away. It was actually right below the building, the ECB Building?
STARLING JENKINS III: No, it was not. No, it was not.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Can you pull up -- does he have a way to see the document, just him, Your Honor?
THE COURT: Yes.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Can you pull up the witness statement on Mr. Jenkins?
MR. ROTTENBORN: Mr. Jenkins, do you recall giving testimony on Mr. Depp's behalf in the U.K. trial?
STARLING JENKINS III: Yes, I did.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you gave a witness statement first in writing, correct? Do you remember that?
MR. ROTTENBORN: And then you were examined by the attorneys in the trial, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct. Q Okay. Can you see on your screen the I statements that -- do you see a witness statement?
STARLING JENKINS III: Yes, I see it.
MR. ROTTENBORN: It says, "Witness statement of Starling I Jenkins," right?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And this is the statement that you wrote and signed as part of the U.K. trial I behalf of Mr. Depp, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay.
MR. ROTTENBORN: If you can, scroll please, to page 3 of the document.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And, Mr. Jenkins, I'm going to read you what you wrote in paragraph 13.
STARLING JENKINS III: Okay.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And we can go from there. On paragraph 13, you wrote in your witness statement in the U.K. trial, "The Find My iPhone application indicated that Johnny's phone was somewhere on the streets below the balcony of the residence." Did I read that right?
STARLING JENKINS III: If that's what it says, that's what it says. I'm telling you the phone was in skid row.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay.
STARLING JENKINS III: The gentleman that found it, I have the location where the phone was found.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Isn't skid row just a few blocks away from the Eastern Columbia Building?
STARLING JENKINS III: No. It's on 6th and Main, I guess, depending on what area you are.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. So one of these two sworn statements, either what you just said in court just now that it was found six miles away or this, one of these is false, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: It's just inadequate as far as the location. The location is not below the penthouse. It's not on Broadway.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay.
STARLING JENKINS III: It was found on Broadway by the unhoused man, and then he lives off of skid row.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. Now let's move on to Coachella, please.
MR. ROTTENBORN: You were with Amber and her friends that weekend at Coachella.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you testified a little bit about what you saw. Is it fair to say that Amber and her friends were having a good time that weekend?
STARLING JENKINS III: Yes, it is.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And there were thousands of other people at that music festival too, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: So your -- were you aware that Amber's sister, Whitney, was pregnant and sober that weekend?
STARLING JENKINS III: Wasn't my information. Wasn't my knowledge.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Were you aware that Amber's sister, IO Whitney, threw up in a parking lot that weekend?
MR. ROTTENBORN: To your knowledge and understanding, Mr. Jenkins, there's nothing wrong with wanting to spend time with your friends at a music festival after being abused by your husband, right?
STARLING JENKINS III: What abuse?
MR. ROTTENBORN: That's not an abnormal thing, to want to be around your friends, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: She was partying it up with her friends. She was partying it up, her birthday.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you didn't hear anything about she didn't say to you about domestic violence I having taken place, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Nothing in the car pertaining to that.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Would it surprise you that she might not want to talk to someone who had worked for her husband for around 23 years at that point about domestic violence? Would that surprise you?
MR. CRAWFORD: Objection. Speculation, s Your Honor.
THE COURT: Sustain the objection. Next question.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Ms. Heard texted you on May 12th, 2016, asking you to call her, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you did not bother to respond to that text, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And that was the last communication that you had with her, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Now, you weren't -- just to be clear, you weren't at Amber's house on Orange Avenue in March 2013 when Johnny was there, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: I might have driven him to the location. I'm familiar with the address.
MR. ROTTENBORN: But you didn't enter the house at any point in March 2013, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Depending on if he had luggage or gifts going upstairs, I might have.
MR. ROTTENBORN: But you didn't hang out with them Is inside the house, right?

STARLING JENKINS III: Correct
MR. ROTTENBORN: You weren't at Thanksgiving with them in Penthouse 5 of the Eastern Columbia Building in November 2015, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: I believe I was there.
MR. ROTTENBORN: YOU didn't --
STARLING JENKINS III: Might have been on detail. I don't have the schedule, but I might have been assigned to detail. Thanksgiving, it's a holiday.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Sure. You don't have any specific recollection of that one way or the other, though, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: I would probably say I was on duty that day.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay.
STARLING JENKINS III: It's a holiday.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. You weren't celebrating Thanksgiving in Penthouse 5 with them that evening, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: I was in the CP.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Okay. And that's a separate room, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Separate room on the same level, correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you weren't in the Bahamas in late December 2015, correct, with them?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: You weren't in the ECB with just the two of them the night of December 15th, 2015, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: That is right before the Christmas party, I believe, correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And finally you weren't in the penthouse of the Eastern Columbia Building on the night of May 21st, 2016, with Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: And you'd agree that you have no personal knowledge of what went on between Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard behind closed doors, correct?
STARLING JENKINS III: Correct.
MR. ROTTENBORN: Nothing further, thank you.
THE COURT: All right Redirect

MR. CRAWFORD: Could you please read to the jury the second part of that paragraph?
