I'm actually getting scenarios and people mixed up and who was wearing what and who had the female attorney and who had actually.
But this is another one of those cases where you're.
There are so many moments because of cameras to keep an eye on, to where you don't have to rely on reading a news outlet and saying, hey, this is the thing that jumps out at you.
You can watch it for yourself and you see human drama play out.
And so I appreciate that we have cameras in the courtroom for this one, but it is telling the story in a way that headlines don't.
That's right.
And prosecutors went over the details of why Paul was in such financial straits.
This is what we're hearing more of this motive.
And as you pointed out before the break, that jury, it's not required for prosecutors to show motive, but it certainly helps the jury get their head around or their heads around this tale the prosecutors are spinning and to know the why behind the what is
is important when it comes to determining whether or not someone is guilty.
And so they went over.
It gets detailed, Paul's bank accounts.
I think he had nine of them.
But how he spent his money on three Porsches, Tiffany jewelry, living way outside of his means, buying an Audi apparently for an alleged mistress in the same time period, that came out in court as well.
So they're building this...
of a man who was trying to live this luxurious life and was stealing money from his brother to pay the bills.
And so, yes, we heard Detective Debbie Bassender, we were watching her this week.
She was the financial crime investigator for the DA, and it got testy to the point where the judge had to admonish the defense team a couple of times saying, you're going into areas I don't know that we should be in.
So it got a little testy in some very...
specific testimony that actually can be boring when you're talking about finances.
