Kaywin Feldman said that Tim & Joanna must be punished heavily (federal charge, conspiracy to commit crime ag. US) for the washable fingerpaints on the plexi vitrine & pedestal to deter similar actions, which "have nothing to do with museums". www.getty.edu/news/getty-v...

Jury still deliberating (over 3 hours) in #ClimateTrial. They had a question. There were a number of alleged actions listed in indictment that go to conspiracy. The jury is required to unanimously agree that Tim did one or more of them and the jury must specify which ones.

The government follows with its rebuttal as the #ClimateTrial comes to a close. They reject the idea that this was just a political statement, like a TED Talk. They return to the key issues in United States v. Timothy Martin: intent, injury, and damage.

The defense in the #ClimateTrial begins its closing argument. They say Tim Martin never intended to damage the artwork or violate the space around the statue. He chose Little Dancer precisely because it was protected by plexiglass.

During #ClimateTrial cross-examination, the prosecution pressed Tim Martin on the intent behind the action. They began by establishing that Martin was part of DE, a group known for using #civildisobedience to push for #climateaction.
