Heard’s closing:

“Think about the message Mr Depp and his legal team are sending to Ms Heard and, by extension, all victims of domestic abuse: If you didn’t take pictures, it didn’t happen. If you did take pictures, they’re fake.”

“If you didn’t tell your friends, you weren’t injured. If you did tell your friends, they were part of the hoax.”

“If you didn't seek medical treatment, you weren't injured. If you did seek medical treatment, you're crazy… if you finally decide that enough is enough, you've had enough of the fear, enough of the pain and you have to leave to save yourself, you're a gold digger”

“That is the message that Mr Depp is asking you to send,” Rottenborn tells the jury.

“They’re trying to trick you into thinking Amber has to be perfect in order to win. She doesn’t.”

And, speaking to Depp’s entire argument:

“This case is not even about whether or not you think Amber abused Mr Depp. Even if you believe they abused each other, he wins... If you believe he abused her even one time, she wins.”

Referring to the texts in which Depp said “Molly’s pussy is RIGHTFULLY MINE”, Rottenborn says:

“This is what Mr Depp thinks about women. Not the person you saw on the stand. This. It’s disgusting.”

Rottenborn is riled up now, showing the jury a picture of the destroyed closet:

“Even if he never hurt Amber that night, this property destruction is abuse.” He says this is enough to make her feel afraid.

“That is abuse. And it’s disgusting,”

Rottenborn to the jury: “You have to be perfect in order for people to believe you? Don’t send that message.”

Rottenborn: “It’s time to tell Mr Depp that this was his last chance. It’s time to tell him to move on with his life, and let Amber move on with hers. Stand up for free speech. Stand up for the first amendment. This case is about so much more than Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard.”

Elaine’s closing arguments start by saying that this lawsuit itself is psychological abuse by Depp.

“He’s had his chance. He had his chance in the U.K… he’s taken six weeks of your time, six weeks of the court’s time. That’s psychological abuse.”

We're on lunch. 45 minutes for rebuttal arguments and then this case will be submitted to the jury for deliberations. Huge
