Jonathan Majors' defense team has dropped its case after one day of evidence in the criminal trial against the Hollywood star.
The Marvel actor is on trial in New York for allegedly attacking his former partner Grace Jabbari, 30, on March 25 after she saw a text from another woman on his phone.
The defense wrapped up its case after a day of testimony, using evidence including photos of Jabbari's injuries and a 911 call on March 26 by the star after he found Jabbari unconscious and playing in court.
Closing arguments are expected to begin Thursday before the jury begins deliberations, the Hollywood reporter.
Majors was seen leaving the court with his new partner, actress Meagan Good, shortly after his team wrapped up their case on Wednesday. He has pleaded not guilty to four charges.

The court released a range of evidence against Majors, including a video of the alleged assault.
The videos, photos and text messages paint an unflattering portrait of Majors, who was tipped as the next face of the superhero franchise.
Security camera footage shows Majors repeatedly pushing and shoving Jabbari back into their SUV – after he allegedly broke her finger and hit her head in March this year. Photos showing both of their injuries were also presented.
An audio clip played in court showed Majors berating Jabbari during an argument for not meeting the standards of Michelle Obama and Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King's wife.
Text messages the Creed III actor sent after a fight were also included in the evidence — and prosecutors say they were part of a “cruel and manipulative pattern of abuse” and appeared to admit to hitting her.
The messages also show Majors urging Jabbari not to seek medical attention as it could lead to an “investigation.”
There's also a photo of a dent in the wall that Jabbari says was caused when Majors threw a candle at her during another fight in Los Angeles.
Majors also called 911 after finding Jabbari unconscious the day after the alleged attack. The audio was played during the trial.
“Hey, what's up, this is medical,” Majors told the 911 dispatcher. “It's a suicide attempt, I think.”
Police said they did not find a pill bottle or other drugs at the scene to support Major's opinion.

Although the charges against Majors are merely felonies, the stakes for him couldn't be higher – and he's fighting for his reputation and his career.
Since his arrest in March after the incident, his career has been on hold and 'Magazine Dreams', his film about a troubled bodybuilder who was tipped for an Oscar, has been shelved.
Majors played Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel series and was set up to be the center of the next chapter in the superhero universe, but that now depends on the outcome of the trial.
Even if he is acquitted, the evidence now released could hamper his comeback to Disney, which owns Marvel and was about to release “Magazine Dreams.”
It includes a 30-minute video from the evening of March 25, in which Majors and Jabbari, 30, a British-born choreographer and dancer, go out for dinner and return home.
The jury heard that as they drove back to their Manhattan apartment, a message appeared on Major's phone, from another woman named “Cleopatra,” saying: “I wish I kissed you.”

Text messages released by the court reveal that Majors prevented Jabbari from seeking medical attention for her injuries, fearing it could trigger and “investigate.”
While there is no footage from inside the car, there is footage from the security camera of the SUV sitting on the street as Majors repeatedly pushes Jabbari back inside.
He can then be seen leading her to the sidewalk with his hands and then running away – with Jabbari in hot pursuit.
In her testimony, Jabbari said she felt “excruciating” pain when Majors twisted her fingers to retrieve his phone after she took it from him.
She said he then hit her on the side of the head to get her to let go of the device.
Photos show Jabbari with heavy bruising on her finger and a cut behind her ear.
