Q: Ms. Rosario, your father was an alcoholic?
Yalitza Rosario: I wouldn't say alcoholic.
[Her mother may be testifying later today - watch this thread] and this on-the-way in vlog
Note: Judge Liman has yet to rule on Larry Ray's proposed "advice of counsel" defense; he said he'll wait to hear tomorrow outside the presence of the jury if Ray intends to testify [!]
Re-direct of Yalitza Rosario:
AUSA: What did you think Larry Ray would do if you left?
YR: He's say I didn't want to help his father. I was afraid of Larry Ray.
Now with jury out of the courtroom, Assistant US Attorney asked to admit into evidence under seal photos of Claudia Drury - and her passport - found on Larry Ray's devices, to show the control he imposed.
Federal Defenders object.
Judge Liman: They are received.
Next US witness: Agent McGuire.
AUSA: Did you have authority to search the premises?
Agent McGuire: Yes.
AUSA: This chart about money, with Pick-ups / Repairs, what do you take it to mean?
Agent: Pick up of Claudia Drury prostitution funds, for "repairs." $700,000
Now into evidence through Agent McGuire:
Handwritten notes "Things Claudia Drury would not want on her website" - now Agent McGuire explains to jury the Wayback Machine, shows screenshots of Drury's journals about "murder by poisoning."
Now after passing over Isabella Pollok's camera work filming Felicia Rosario with strangers on Larry Ray's orders, Agent McGuire is reading to the jury the titles of articles on Larry Ray's laptop, including about cults.
Now after a photo of Larry Ray in a bright green Sarah Lawrence College sweatshirt, in another photo he is holding, in black gloves, Marcus Aurelius' Meditations

Now with jury out for lunch, Judge Liman says he WILL allow in the recorded Larry Ray jailhouse calls, at the end of the US' case, which is approaching. By day's end Inner City Press hopes to post some exhibits - and more #JohnListGonepatreon.com/posts/64280088
Before jury comes back in, Assistant US Attorney complaints that "the Defendant's father is in the courtroom not wearing his mask and made faces at me which were distracting."
Judge Liman says, Put your mask on.
Jury is back in. Agent McGuire is testifying about exhibit after exhibit. Inner City Press aims to post some of them here when available - watch this feed.
Now an IRS agent on the stand - Larry Ray did not file, much less pay, taxes on this prostitution money.
Judge Liman, with jury gone for the day, is trying to arrange for Larry Ray to talk with his lawyers about if he wants to testify. "On the 4th floor," Judge Liman says, "tomorrow."
OK - now in Jan 6 case of Lonnie Coffman, he is about to be sentenced by DDC Judge Kollar-Kotelly. Inner City Press has reported on the mason jar / Molotov cocktail case innercitypress.com/ddc114coffmanp… and will live tweet, thread below
AUSA: He should get the mid-point of the sentencing guideline. He was filmed at a militia meeting in Texas.
Defense: Mr. Coffman came to DC because he wanted to find out for himself. He did not coordinate with others.
Defense: Mr. Coffman went to Pentagon City with a woman for pizza. Then he came back and said, That's my truck. Mr. Coffman wanted answers to questions he had about the election. He's been honest throughout.

IRS Agent: It does not.
AUSA: No further questions. Our next witness is Maritza Rosario, who requires an interpreter.
Judge Liman: Let's take a stretch break.
AUSA: Mrs. Rosario, why did Santos Jr. say he needed money?
Mrs. Rosario: He said he had broken Mr. Larry Ray's refrigerator... I gave him over $150,000.
AUSA: What did you understand it was for?
Federal Defender: Objection! Hearsay!
Judge: I'll permit it.

Update: it's 3:10 pm and Judge Liman takes the bench to say, There are new jurors in the room.
He asked them if any Yes answers to the questions.
Those who say yes, he tells "I will see you at the sidebar."
This could take a while.
Update: it's 3:50 and Judge Liman re-takes the bench to say that the following [prospective] jurors are excused: 2, 20, 61, 64, 65 and 71. And 73-100 won't be needed - they're to go out into the hall and get further instructions [to go wait in another case]

Judge Levy: The witness can only speak to his knowledge, not others'.
Counsel: I'll lay a foundation. Do you have personal knowledge as to whether they were evaluating corrosion control?
Witness: Looking for correct PH and balance.
Counsel: So they were discussing using Flint River water? Or is that comparing apples to oranges?
Objection as to form! I don't know what the oranges are.
Counsel: Did it relate to the Flint River or Lake Huron?
Witness: They do no compare: apples to oranges.
