According to a report in AP, Judge Andrew Nicol will retire later to consider his verdict. He is expected to hand down his ruling in several weeks. NGN's lawyer, Sasha Wass, had mentioned in her summing-up that there was no doubt Depp “regularly and systematically abused his wife" and so the “wife-beater” label was justified.

Johnny Depp is suing a publication and its executive editor over an article that called him a ‘wife-beater’. The article also referred to have ‘evidence’ that Johnny Depp attacked Amber Heard. Johnny Depp denies hitting his then-wife, while Amber Heard, 34, has submitted details of 14 occasions during their relationship when the actor has assaulted her. The paper has to prove that the allegations that they made against the actor are substantially true. According to reports, the verdict of the libel trial will be out in October.
