Johnny Depp arrives at High Court as libel case continues

(24 Jul 2020) JOHNNY DEPP ARRIVES AT HIGH COURT AS LIBEL CASE CONTINUES
Johnny Depp arrived at the High Court in London on Friday (24 JULY 2020) as his libel case against a U.K. publisher continues.
Thursday saw Amber Heard testify for the fourth day, during which she said she never wanted the world to know the details of her years of alleged abuse by Johnny Depp, as she concluded her evidence in her ex-husband's libel case against a British tabloid.
Heard testified that everything she had said at the High Court in London was true.
She said she just wanted to be "left alone" after the breakup of her and Depp's tempestuous marriage and that she wanted to "save him the embarrassment.”
Heard was in court because Depp, 57, is suing News Group Newspapers, the publisher of The Sun, and the newspaper's executive editor, Dan Wootton, over an April 2018 article that labeled him a “wife beater.”
The Sun’s defense relies on 14 allegations made by Heard of violence by Depp between 2013 and 2016, in settings as varied as a rented house in Australia, his private island in the Bahamas and a private jet.
Depp denies abusing Heard and claims she was the aggressor during their relationship. He missed Heard's testimony on Thursday after arriving late to court.
Heard was followed on the witness stand by her sister, Whitney Henriquez, who was quizzed by Depp's lawyer, Eleanor Laws, about a number of alleged incidents that are at the heart of the case. Henriquez denied Laws' suggestion that she was doing her “absolute best” to throw her sister a “lifeline.”
In written evidence to the court, Henriquez said she “felt sick” in September 2013 when she learned her sister was going to marry Depp and told Heard that “putting a ring on her finger was not going to stop him hitting her.”
Depp and Heard met on the set of the film “The Rum Diary,” released in 2011. They married in Los Angeles in February 2015. Heard filed for divorce the following year, and it was finalized in 2017.
The case is due to finish next week with closing submissions from both sides’ legal teams on Monday and Tuesday.
