case earlier today, something that Depp’s lawyers disputed in a lengthy speech., held at the Fairfax County Court in Virgina, and ruled that sufficient evidence had been presented to continue the case.

After a lunch break, the trial continued with Heard’s lawyers calling their first witness, with Dr Dawn Hughes, a clinical and forensic psychologist, taking the stand.Heard was due to be the opening witness in the defense but will reportedly be second on the stand as her team ‘shifts tactics’.Depp launched a lawsuit against his ex-wife over her 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post, in which she wrote about her experience of suffering domestic abuse.
While she didn’t name the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, his lawyers argued that this falsely implies that he sexually and physically abused her – something he has fiercely denied.
