Yes.

And this is I've seen people framing the verdict as having zines or whatever, like it's an act of terrorism.

And that's not what was decided here.

No, what's happening here is a bit more complicated and harder to explain.

Yes.

The other relevancy of zines to this case relates to the concealing documents charges against Dez Estrada and his wife, Mari Rayuda, based on transporting a box of political zines from his wife's house to a friend's house in Denton, Texas.

The government claims that Royda called Dez from jail on July 6th, instructing him to conceal evidence.

Now, we don't have access to a full transcript of this call.

The full call was given to the jury, but sections of it were read or listened to in court.

The most detailed account of the call segments played in court come from notes taken by the Prairieland Defense Support Committee.

The actual evidence exhibit is not yet available to be purchased on Pacer.

Not sure if it will be or if that'll just be after sentencing, but I tried to actually get the transcript of the call and it was not available.

Dez told his wife that he already talked with her mom, who she had previously called the day before.

Rueda talked about feds confiscating property.

FBI Special Agent Whitworth said in his opinion Rueda was concerned about the evidence.

Rueda then voiced concern for her car parked at the 2400 block of 56th Street, which had her phone stored inside.

This was the staging site before she went to the action.

She then instructed Dez to, quote-unquote, tow it.

My phone is in the back.

Do what you gotta do.
