'Either he hit her countless times or you can't believe a single word that comes out of her mouth'
Johnny Depp's lawyer Camille Vasquez says Amber Heard's team have argued that the jury only needs to find that the actor "touched her once" for her to win this case. "But common sense should tell you that you can't pick and choose Ms Heard's allegations."
She describes Heard's testimony as "incredibly dramatic" and "over the top" and again says this was a "performance".
"Either he hit her countless times or you can't believe a single word that comes out of her mouth," Ms Vasquez tells jurors.
She moves on to "vivid language" used in Depp's messages. "Mr Depp has a unique style of writing. He uses words I don't use and you probably don't use either."
However, Ms Vasquez says Depp has a "dark sense of humour" and modelled writing on literary figures such as Hunter S Thompson.
"It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's who he is... using bad language and colourful humour does not mean you are a violent abuser."
She says these messages are just a distraction and not evidence of abuse.
"Hitting your husband is evidence of abuse."
