Los Angeles wildfire: Palisades fire the most destructive in LA history

Actress Amber Heard has given a statement to Los Angeles police accusing estranged husband Johnny Depp of domestic violence, her lawyers said on Tuesday, a week after she filed for divorce and obtained a restraining order against Depp. 
 
Heard`s attorneys said in a statement that in an attempt to &quot;protect her privacy and Johnny`s career&quot; the actress initially declined to report to police a May 21 incident between her and Depp that she claimed left her with a bruised eye. 
 
&quot;Johnny`s team has forced Amber to give a statement to the LAPD to set the record straight as to the true facts ...,&quot; Heard`s lawyers Samantha Spector and Joseph P. Koenig said. 
 
&quot;Amber has suffered through years of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of Johnny,&quot; they said. 
 
Representatives for Depp did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman Officer Liliana Preciado declined to comment, citing privacy. 
 
Depp`s 17-year-old daughter Lily-Rose supported her father on Instagram, posting a photo captioning her father as &quot;the sweetest most loving person I know.&quot; 
 
Heard, 30, said in court papers filed in Los Angeles last week that Depp, 52, had been abusive to her throughout their relationship, culminating in an argument during which he hurled a cell phone at her face and shattered objects in her apartment. 
 
Depp`s lawyer argued in a court document that Heard &quot;is attempting to secure a premature financial resolution by alleging abuse.&quot; 
 
Judge Carl H. Moor granted a temporary restraining order requiring Depp to stay at least 100 yards away from Heard and move out of the couple`s shared downtown Los Angeles condominium. A hearing was scheduled for June 17. 
 
Heard, who will star in upcoming superhero ensemble &quot;The Justice League Part One,&quot; said she was seeking $50,000 a month for spousal support. 
 
Depp, one of Hollywood`s leading actors and box office draws, and Heard married in February 2015 after meeting on the set of 2011`s &quot;The Rum Diary.&quot; 
 
Heard`s lawyers said they held off serving Depp with the divorce petition at the Hollywood premiere of his latest film &quot;Alice Through the Looking Glass&quot; last week because the actress wanted to keep it private. 
 
The Disney film failed to perform strongly at U.S. and Canadian box offices this past weekend, grossing $28.1 million, with some critics blaming the poor performance on negative headlines.&nbsp;

Amber Heard accuses Johnny Depp of domestic violence

Actor Mark Salling, who had a supporting role as a high school athlete-turned-singer in the TV series &quot;Glee,&quot; was indicted on Friday on charges of receiving and possessing child pornography, officials said.

The 33-year-old Salling agreed to turn himself in on June 3 to face the charges filed in federal court in Los Angeles, the U.S. Attorney&#39;s Office for the region said in a statement.

Representatives for Salling, a Los Angeles resident, and his attorney, did not immediately return calls.

The federal charges against the Texas-born Salling for receipt and possession of child pornography stem from his arrest by Los Angeles police and federal agents on Dec. 29, 2015. He was released on bail of $20,000 and was initially expected to be charged in Los Angeles County court.

But after investigators realized the &quot;scope of the collection&quot; of child porn they had uncovered, the case was handed over to federal prosecutors, the U.S. Attorney&#39;s Office said.

&quot;The traditional stereotype about the kinds of people who commit child sexual exploitation crimes simply doesn&#39;t dovetail with reality,&quot; Joseph Macias, a special agent in charge for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement on the filing of the charges.

Macias added that child pornography suspects can be of &quot;all ages and from all walks of life.&quot;

Salling&#39;s arrest came after investigators received a tip that he was in possession of child porn, Los Angeles police said in a statement at the time.

A laptop, a hard drive and a mobile flash drive from Salling&#39;s home contained thousands of images and videos of child pornography, and investigators continue to review the material, federal prosecutors said.

In the meantime, the charges against the actor center on a still image and three videos of child pornography depicting young girls, the statement said. The two charges each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.

Salling on the Fox television show &quot;Glee,&quot; which ran from 2009 to 2015, played Puck, a bully and a football player who shows a softer side when he joins the glee club at his high school.

Before that show, Salling had a number of smaller roles, including a part in 1996 horror film &quot;Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering.&quot;

'Glee' star Mark Salling indicted on federal child porn charges

Actor Michael Jace, best known for his role as a policeman on the TV drama &quot;The Shield,&quot; was convicted by a jury on Tuesday of second-degree murder for fatally shooting his wife in 2014 in front of the couple&#39;s two children at their Los Angeles home. 
 
Jace, 53, faces a sentence of 40 years to life in prison when he is sentenced on June 10. 
 
The actor was upset that his wife, April Jace, wanted a divorce when he shot her once in the back and twice more in the legs on May 19, 2014, the Los Angeles County District Attorney`s Office said in a statement. 
 
He then called authorities and reported that he had shot his wife, prosecutors said. The couple`s sons, ages 8 and 5 at the time, watched the killing in the family`s South Los Angeles home, prosecutors said. She was 40 years old when she was slain. 
 
Prosecutors had asked jurors to find Jace guilty of first-degree murder, which involves premeditation, Los Angeles County District Attorney`s Office spokesman Greg Risling said. But the jury in Los Angeles Superior Court instead found Jace guilty of second-degree murder, an intentional killing that was not premeditated.&nbsp; 
 
Jace`s attorneys acknowledged in court that he shot his wife.&nbsp; 
 
&quot;Our entire goal was to show this was not a case of premeditation, and we achieved that goal,&quot; Jace`s attorney, Jamon Hicks, said in an email. &quot;This was a very smart and intelligent jury who deliberated and considered the evidence. They were not just moved by emotion but by the evidence.&quot; 
 
The jury of six women and six men began deliberations late on Friday and resumed on Tuesday morning, spending two hours considering the case before reaching the verdict, prosecutors said.&nbsp; 
 
The jury found Jace used a handgun in the crime, a special circumstance that increases his minimum prison time by 25 years beyond the minimum term for second-degree murder, Risling said. 
 
Jace is best known for portraying police officer Julien Lowe, a religious Christian conflicted about his homosexuality, on the FX cable drama &quot;The Shield&quot; that ran from 2002 to 2008. 
 
Aside from &quot;The Shield,&quot; Jace had small parts in the films &quot;Forrest Gump,&quot; &quot;Boogie Nights&quot; and &quot;Planet of the Apes&quot; as well as various supporting roles on television in the past two decades. He filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection in 2011.
