LONDON: Hollywood star Johnny Depp will learn on Monday if he has won his libel lawsuit against British newspaper The Sun for branding him a “wife-beater” in a case that laid bare his chaotic lifestyle. Judge Nicol’s ruling will be delivered remotely and it is not known whether Depp or Heard will attend court again. Depp admitted writing a message to Heard on the wall and floor with flowing blood, and then dipping his finger into a can of paint to continue writing when the bleeding stopped. The judge also forced Depp to face days of withering cross-examination in which the star admitted to only hazily remembering some events because he was high on drugs. “We are a crime scene waiting to happen,” Depp wearily told Heard in one recorded exchange played in court.
