A truck decorated as a pirate ship docked outside the courthouse where the defamation case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is being heard.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the flatbed truck decked out with Pirates Caribbean ship regalia was stationed in front of the Fairfax County Circuit Courthouse on Tuesday, where the jury resumed deliberations.

Lawyers delivered closing arguments on Friday after six weeks of explosive testimony.

Depp filed suit against Heard over an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in December 2018 in which she described herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse."

Heard did not name Depp in the piece, but he sued her for implying he was a domestic abuser and is seeking $50 million in damages.

Heard countersued for $100 million, claiming she suffered "rampant physical violence and abuse."
