During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Georgia Longstreet, a paralegal involved in the case, had examined a substantial number of social media posts ranging between 5,000 and 10,000. When questioned by Attorney Todd Blanche about her role in selecting the posts presented in court, Longstreet clarified that she did not have the authority to make such decisions, stating, 'I’m just a paralegal, I don’t call the shots.'

It was further disclosed that out of the extensive pool of posts Longstreet had reviewed, the prosecution team had chosen to introduce only seven of them as evidence in the current legal proceedings. This selection process highlights the meticulous nature of evidence presentation in the case, with a focus on relevance and admissibility.
