They claim this is all 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: about money, jealousy, and revenge. Prosecutors, however, laid out a 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: really dark story that over two decades did he allegedly 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: turned his empire into a machine that included trafficking, drugging, 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: and abusing women.

Kiki mentioned 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: it might be intimidation, but it's I mean, ooh, it's 31 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: very eerie. This is crazy too.
