Now, is it still a difficult thing to do, finding those people in the Southern District of New York?

That's going to be difficult. So you find 12 and potentially, I would imagine you've got to find at least four or five alternates because this is scheduled to be an eight-week-long trial. And if the trial does begin, because there's always 11th hour stuff that happens that could push it back.

If the trial does begin with jury selection on May 5th and then starts on May 12th, which I think is very ambitious to find a jury in five days, don't forget, like... There's Memorial Day. There's the 4th of July. You've got to ask people to miss out a lot of these potential dates and sit for this trial makes it that much more difficult.

Yeah, so the governor or the prosecutor is going to position this as the facts speak for themselves. They're going to put up witnesses who say, I was told to go pick up this person. I was told to bring this person here. Did you know that this person was a sex worker? Yes, I did. It was very clear from where I went.

Yeah, he's here. I know I'm going to go to this party. I'm going to get paid. Like, I need to go. Ronnie Jones tells us about this recruiting process through his allegations. Whether or not they're true, that's going to be up for the government to prove. But that's how the government's going to work this out.

You cannot consent when you are intoxicated. Look at how this... traversed over state lines, making it a federal case because it affected interstate commerce.

If everyone shows up to a sex party and we all say, hey, everyone's of age, we all want to do drugs before this. Is everyone OK with that? We're good. Then, yeah, whatever you do in the privacy of your home is not a crime. And that's what the defense is arguing. And that's not an argument that works when you have dozens of people saying otherwise.
