So it wasn't played to us in the press or in the gallery.
But you could see some of the screens and you could probably angle your head and see a little bit more than you were meant to.
But what I was focusing on was the jury's reaction as that video was playing.
And you could see some people acting very uncomfortably to what they were seeing, shifting in their seat, maybe grimacing slightly at what was being shown.
But again, you know, the silence in the room was really what stood out.
All you could hear was an AC vent rattling in the corner and that was it.
Yeah, it was the first time we've seen any videos of these alleged attacks.
And then after the video was shown, the following week, we actually heard from the woman that was in the video.
She's now 34, and she went by the pseudonym Amelia Rosen.
And she said she had no memory of ever meeting Oren Alexander and had no idea the video existed until the government showed it to her.
And she was asked to watch the video on the stand and she could only manage watching portions of it.
She said it was too painful to have to relive it.
And, you know, that was that was one of the goosebump moments of the trial so far.
Yeah, the texts have been used primarily in the trial to do two things.
It's both to articulate the brothers' perhaps negative opinions of women and the ways in which they discuss them, in addition to substantiating their claims of conspiracy.
showing that the brothers work together to procure drugs, showing that the brothers work together to move women to locations with the intent of abusing them.
And I think that has been quite effective so far.
We saw conversations from a group chat between some of the brothers and their friends when they're going to a trip in Mexico called Lions in Tulum.
And they were...
talking about if they're going to be shipping in women and various other unsavory things.
