The statement came at the end of an explosive three weeks in court where a string of sensational claims were made about the pair's tumultuous marriage.

The brown envelopes contained a black and white bandana similar to the one he has been sporting during the case. A signed, handwritten note from the star was also included in the package, reading: 'My sincere thanks for all'. Legions of Depp fans dressed as characters from his film supported the Pirates of the Caribbean star in court over the past three weeks as he gave evidence. A group of around 25 fans invaded the central court this morning clutching flowers and gifts as others waited outside hoping to catch a glimpse of the star. 24 Heard pictured arriving for the final day of the trial Credit: REUTERS Depp's lawyer David Sherbourne today branded Heard a 'compulsive liar” and the “abuser” in the couple's turbulent marriage. He added: 'From the big points to the small points, Ms Heard has proved herself to be a wholly unreliable witness, and, frankly, a compulsive liar, and I don’t say that lightly.' Yesterday, Sasha Wass QC, who is representing News Group Newspapers, brought her case to a close as she branded the actor a 'hopeless addict who repeatedly lost control'. She also told the court Depp had 'irrational mood swings and abnormal behavioural patterns' which he had named 'The Monster'. And she told how Depp had shown 'terrifying behaviour' that made Heard 'fear for her life' on multiple occasions. 24 Depp was mobbed by fans giving him gifts and flowers Credit: REUTERS 24 Depp carries gifts into the court Credit: Getty Images - Getty Depp, 57, is suing The Sun for referring to him as a 'wife-beater' in a 2018 article. The Sun, supported by Heard, says the term was justified. The High Court has heard shocking details of the couple's relationship and its breakdown with claims Depp even allegedly attacked his then wife on their honeymoon. The actor is alleged to have also lashed out at Heard after arriving at her 30th birthday celebrations late after finding out he lost $650million. It was then claimed excrement was found in the couple's marital bed - with Heard denying Depp's allegations she had left the deposit. Over the past three weeks, The High Court has heard explosive claims including: Photographs of a number of apartments ripped apart after alleged bust-ups were also shown to the court as part of the lengthy trial. A picture of a mirror smeared with blood and the message 'I love you' - allegedly written by Depp after his finger was severed during a row in Australia - was shown. Shattered glass was also photographed at the couple's LA penthouse after Depp's alleged 'final act of violence' before they split. High profile names were also dragged intro the trial as claims that Depp was paranoid his then wife was having an affair with SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk and James Franco. However, Depp's former partners Winona Ryder and Vanessa Paradis did not give evidence after submitting witness statements that the star had never been violent towards them. Heard and Depp married in LA in 2015 after meeting on the set of The Rum Diary. But they divorced two years later after Heard, who donated her £5.5million settlement to charity, accused Depp of abuse. The case continues.
