He also described this as a play for money, that she had concocted this whole set of allegations in order to extract money out of a UK compensation scheme for victims of crimes.
Not particularly large amounts of money that you'd get from a scheme like that.
Bilecki seized on some texts that she had sent Wolfson while she was in hospital recovering from the surgery that she'd had.
And she joked about how she was on quite strong American painkillers.
This was part of his argument that he advanced to suggest that she had abused drugs, creating the impression or encouraging the panel to think that she was more likely to have taken the drug before going to see Jacob Wolfson than him administering it.
And at one point he suggested that she might have wanted to pop a few pills before going to meet a fighter pilot significantly younger than her.
She appeared across several days.
It was north of six hours, I'd say.
Yeah, I've spoken to a few barristers who prosecute and defend these cases in English courts, and they were surprised to hear that someone was on the stand for that long.
They would try to limit it to one to two hours.

She stood up to him, but you can understand where she's coming from when she said that this felt like it was her on trial rather than Wolfson.
There was one point where he said that Bilecki's questioning was becoming argumentative, was the word he used.
That felt like a little bit of an understatement.
From what I can also tell is that in the English courts these days, because there are women on the jury, because there are people who have certain ideas about how people should be treated or not treated, barristers have told me actually that adopting that kind of strategy can often backfire because juries don't like it.
Pretty much every morning, just around about the time the court day started, which was quite early, around about 8 a.m., the fighter jets would be departing for their morning training missions.
The courtroom would sort of rattle with the sound of the fighter jets taking off and sort of then swooping over the base and then sometimes doing sort of quite kind of outlandish maneuvers.
So after all of the witnesses were questioned and cross-examined, at that point, the jury in this case left the courtroom for deliberations.
Eventually, we were called back into the courtroom and the judge read out the verdict.
