00:00So, you were one of the Luigi Oni supporters who was inside the courtroom.

00:06What was he like?

00:07Can you detail his expression and just how he was in the courtroom?

00:11Well, I really only got a full view of him going into the courtroom.

00:16When he sat down, he was kind of a wall that was around him by the guard.

00:20So, I didn't really get to see him for much of the actual trial.

00:22But when he walked in, he just seemed focused.

00:26You know, he's probably told by his lawyers, don't make eye contact with anyone, just stare

00:29forward.

00:30He just seemed very focused, probably stressed, I imagine.

00:34But on the way out, he definitely seemed like he, he didn't like stare at me, but he kind

00:42of side-eyed like one side of the courtroom, like very briefly, just like not, not in like

00:47a, what's the word, like a luring way, but just kind of like, and then just kept walking

00:54forward.

00:55Just looking straight, walking forward, really.

00:57And you waited nearly 12 hours to get in.

00:59I know you were a college student who came from Massachusetts.

01:02Was it worth it?

01:03Not 12 hours.

01:04It was more like, it was more like, I know it doesn't really matter, but it was like,

01:08I was only outside for a couple hours just to make that clear.

01:11I wasn't standing outside for 15 hours, but it was cool.

01:14But yeah, I came in at like 5 a.m.

01:17And was it worth it?

01:18It was worth it for sure.

01:19Yeah, absolutely.

01:20How come?

01:22I, I think, I think like I've said, I've never done anything like this before, um, going

01:26into a courtroom or just jury duty in general, and I've been kind of following the case ever

01:29since it happened.

01:30It's a very important, uh, the issue that's been born out of this is very important to

01:36me.

01:37Um, healthcare reform.

01:38And, um, I, I support the protests that are going on, the discussion that it sparked,

01:44and I kind of just wanted to be here for it, be a part of something, you know, maybe for

01:48self treasons, but, um, it was definitely, definitely a day to remember, definitely something

01:52that I'll never forget.

01:53Um, it was very cool to see him there and just be like, well, like, that's him.
