The lawyer presses them on why he didn’t tell his best friend
Carnanos suggests EM that he could have told someone who is his best friend who was sexually assaulted.
One of the text messages that EM sent to her friend said she felt “dirty and used later.”
Em testifies that she was trying to minimize things to her friend because she had worried her.
She says she doesn’t like to overload people with her problems and at that time, she was still trying to minimize things for herself.
“I was between ignoring it and pretending that it didn’t happen. It had never been for something like that before,” he tells carnanos
Carnanos continues to press them on why I wouldn’t say to her best friend.
“I felt shame and shame. [the men in the hotel room] They were mocking us all night. They were laughing at me. It was shameful … They kept me there. They kept laughing at me. “
Carnanos says that if he had felt that he had been “sexually raped or assaulted that night,” he would have told his best friend.
The objects of the crown and the jury are outside as the lawyers begin a discussion.
