The verdict is expected to be read at 20.00 (BST).

It comes after the Pirates of the Caribbean star sued his former wife for defamation after she published an article in The Washington Post in 2018.

Heard did not name Depp in the article, but he claims it has cost him acting roles.

The Aquaman star later countersued her former husband for $100million.

The trial has become a battleground over proving the truth about their relationship.

The famous trial is now over a month deep into testimony with the opening arguments beginning on April 12, 2022.

During the trial, Depp has insisted he was never abusive to Heard during their relationship and subsequent marriage.

He claims he is the victim of domestic abuse himself from his ex-wife.

One of the witnesses called to testify was Kate Moss, who denied the claims her ex Johnny Depp 'pushed her down the stairs'.

The supermodel was a surprise witness called by Depp and denied the allegations brought up by Heard who said during her testimony she felt connected to Moss due to a rumor that Depp pushed her down the stairs when they were dating back in the 1990s.
