1. Shia got so into character for "The Tax Collector," he'd drive around LA, shooting stray dogs to get into the "mindset" of a killer
2. FKA Twigs was once woken up by LaBeouf towering over her, violently squeezing her arms and choking her. The alleged incident occurred during a trip to celebrate Valentine’s Day in 2019. As he was strangling her, he was whispering, “If you don’t stop you are going to lose me.”
3. After alleged V-Day incident, LaBeouf became manic while driving home, threatening to crash, unless she professed her “eternal love." He briefly stopped at a gas station, “violently attacked” her, throwing her against the car, screaming in her face, attempting to strangle her.
4. LaBeouf would display frequent rage and bouts of jealously, accusing FKA Twigs of dwelling on her former fiancé, actor Robert Pattinson.
5. LaBeouf knowingly infected her with an STD.
6. LaBeouf was so possessive, he would count the number of kisses FKA Twigs would give him on any given day, and berate her if it wasn’t enough.
7. LaBeouf demanded she slept naked.
8. LaBeouf forced her to watch documentaries about murdered women before going to bed.
9. LaBeouf was paranoid of gang members breaking in, he slept with a loaded rifle in bed, but insisted on keeping the front door unlocked. FKA Twigs felt “trapped” in bed, fearful he might accidentally shoot her if she stood up. She'd often text friends to devise an escape plan.

THREAD: Closing arguments have ended and deliberation begins on Tueday.
Here are some highlight's from the prosecution's closing arguments today...
“The defendant was the master of his universe and the witnesses were merely ants that he could step on…They don’t get to complain when they’re stepped on, spit on, demoralized and then, yes, raped and abused by the defendant.” — lead prosecutor Joan Illuzzi
When @RonanFarrow investigated #HarveyWeinstein reached out re Annabella Sciorra, Harvey emailed his team: “This was consensual or deny it.”
Illuzzi read the email to the jury aloud & then said, “Consensual is the opposite of denying it -- I submit to you: that’s a confession!”
