Mercedes: Have these incidents affected your ability to perform your job?
Trent: Sadly, yes. I am a salesman. A marketing guru. So reputation and appearance are everything.

Trent: I communicate extensively online, but I've found this undue stigma precedes me. I cannot represent our company effectively this way. We nearly lost a critical new client due to this incident.

Mercedes: And do you believe the defendant exhibited malice through these incidents?
Trent: Absolutely! I'm convinced its unwavering hatred of me was its motivation to attack.

Mercedes: So the defendant knew its statements were false and recklessly disregarded the truth to destroy your career?
Trent: I believe so, yes.
