Dr. Rosenberg described “profuse” diarrhea that she observed both Lily and Lizzie had, which “splattered” when they defecated. She said it was tan which was concerning, too. 1/4 She explained that diarrhea causes excessive fluid loss and dehydration is dangerous, especially in an underweight animal. 2/4

Wayne gave Dr. Rosenberg an image and asked her to describe it. She said this is Lizzie, and she has bright red blood on her nose coming from her mother’s teat. 1/4 She explained that piglets are very competitive for access to teats and this has been exacerbated by an industry practice to produce sows who birth more piglets. They have more piglets than teats. The smaller, weaker piglets end up with the less productive teats. 2/4

The judge is reading the jurors’ questions. They asked if Wayne personally carried both pigs out. He said yes, with assistance from Jon and Andrew. 1/3 A juror asked, “Did you see more sick piglets?” “Why did you not remove more piglets?” Wayne said he would like to help all the animals but Circle Four Farms raises 1.2 million pigs per year and sadly, we can’t help them all. 2/3

Agent Anderson used social media and drivers license records to identify the intruders. He said this is the first time he’s ever had a case like this because it’s very rare. Once again, discussion of “the video” is happening, but the jury is still being denied seeing it. 1/ Mary is objecting to the Agent’s testimony about identifying Paul and Wayne based on social media posts. The judge will allow it.

Now, Agent Andersen is explaining that he collected physical evidence by visiting Smithfield. He coordinated with Topham, the witness from Tues. 2/

Wayne and Paul are finally out after 12 hours of court and a grand total of 40 minutes of breaks. They're tired and hungry, but in good spirits because they had some solid wins today. 1/ The judge was more fair with jury selection than expected and they believe the pressure from supporters - both in person and online - contributed to that. So thank you! 2/
