West told the jurors that she worked for Bernard's radio station “Family Flavors the Slide” in 2023.

West said that she had set fire to the video of the cross that the sign had been uncomplicated with a racist slur with a red spray color. She said she also sent an e -mail with a fake name “Angelica Martinez” with attachments to the video and a photo of the burning cross to local media and civil servants.

In West -West certificate, she said she was afraid that Bernard would reciprocate by putting her on the street if she hadn't done what he asked.

You and Blackcloud drove to a walmart to use the public Wi-Fi to send the email. She believed that she was asked to use her phone to record the video because it could be traced less because it was not connected to a service.
