I would probably describe it in two ways.
I think it's been quite heavy and intense at times as well.
That's both due to the testimony that we're hearing from accusers and some of the evidence that we've also seen.
But equally, there's been some fiery exchanges we've heard between the accusers and the defence on cross.
At this point in the trial, we've now heard from nine different accusers, all of whom have spoken to this similar pattern that they felt of sensations both before...
before they were attacked, during their attacks, and how they felt afterwards as well.
And in addition to the suffering that they felt.
And establishing that pattern, in addition to this wider pattern of conspiracy, has been key for the prosecution.
And I think so far to this point, they're doing a pretty good job of that.
Yeah, the brothers have been quite engaged with their attorneys throughout the testimony, as you expect from particularly a lone who has a background in law.
You'll see them scribbling things on post-it notes when the defense attorneys are speaking on cross, maybe passing notes and advising them in the direction to take their questions.
And that, particularly for the two twins, they seem to be the most engaged.
You've got a loan who's quite...
He likes to stare at the people on the stand.
He's very animated.
He's shaking his head when he doesn't agree with something.
And Oren kind of scans the room around him, looks behind, looks at what people are reacting to the testimony, both journalists and family members as well.
Whereas Tal is relatively quite still, kind of sits half on, looking at the jury, looking at the person in the stand, and is probably the more subdued of the brothers.
One thing I've noticed in particular that I thought was quite interesting was that each of the brothers, they all have extensive counsel, but each of them is sat next to a female attorney and something that they do every time a female attorney gets up from their seat is pull out their chair and push it back in again.
Yeah, and it seems like a pretty transparent play to maybe curry faith with the jury slightly, but who knows if that's actually going to work.
