>"Brnovich said such testimony was allowable only if it involved evidence that Backpage executives and employees knew about it," according to the Arizona Republic. The article continued: >Similarly, Brnovich said that testimony given by Jessika Svendgard, who discussed being sold as a teen on Backpage, went beyond the legal boundaries she set in place. Brnovich said that despite her ruling that prosecutors stay away from day-in-the-life style testimony from any prostitutes or trafficking victims, the government's attorneys succeeded in getting Svendgard to discuss exactly that. >Svendgard told jurors, at times through tears, about being sold on Backpage by a series of pimps. "I would be raped for money," she said. Brnovich said the use of that word "raises a whole new emotional response from people." Apparently the government wasn't supposed to bring up the victim's experience. The retrial will remove this testimony and they will still be convicted for the sheer number of laws they broke.
