Amber Heard is currently entrenched in a defamation lawsuit brought against her by her ex-husband Johnny Depp, but the actress is also still trudging muddy waters in Australia. The country's local authorities recently confirmed they're still investigating whether she allegedly committed perjury for illegally bringing her dogs into the country without declaring them for quarantine, and a legal expert is weighing in on what could've changed for Heard in the incident.
