An apparently upset Penney Azcarate described Alejandro Romero’s testimony as “first” and ordered the court to take an early lunch break after the video was played. Laughter from the jury was also heard throughout the recording, in which Romero, who worked in the Los Angeles apartment building where Depp and Heard lived together, described the moment he investigated a possible intruder who thought he was just a dog. Romero described that she searched the property after Heard reported a scratch on the door that she thought might have been an intruder. “They were talking about someone trying to get into their unit, and in my mind I was saying ‘do you really think someone is trying to get into your unit?’ said Romero. “There are scratches four inches above the floor on your door. This was a dog trying to get into your unit. “They were so scared – I actually went. “They asked me to go inside the unit just to check room by room to make sure no one was really there.” Romero added that he did the research because it was part of his job, but that he “did not understand why they wanted me to do it.” At one point he also expressed frustration with the case, saying he was “so stressed” and “did not want to deal with it anymore.” When the video ended, Azcarate told the court it was “a good time for a lunch break.” Then she took off her glasses, raised her eyebrows and shook her head from side to side. After a long pause, he added: “Okay; that was the first one, I’m sorry.” Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, replied: “I will say your honor was the strangest testimony…” Azcarate cut her off, raised her hands, and said, “Yeah, okay, I have to say I’ve never seen that before. “I have seen many things, but I have never seen it.”
