Audio recordings said to feature Johnny Depp's ex-wife talking about her hitting him are to feature in a high-profile trial.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star is suing British tabloid newspaper The Sun for libel over an article claiming he was violent and abusive to film actress Amber Heard and referring to him as a "wife-beater".
His lawyer David Sherborne told a pre-trial hearing that the audio includes Heard, 33, talking about her being violent to Depp.

It "demonstrates in her own voice that she was not a victim... rather that she was the aggressor". At one point she says no one would believe Depp if he claimed to be a victim of domestic violence, the lawyer told the court.
