"We are thinking that photos of GM/JE (the iconic one of them together) and the locations where the abuse happened would be a good visual."Source
"To that end, can we put the photos into the indictment so there is no issue with using them at the press conference?"Source
"In the horse case, we did put photos in the indictment in order to use them in the press conference."Source
"The photo of them is, as you note, widely publicly available, so I don't think we could be accused of publicizing something not already out there"Source
