Don't "Close your eyes to the evidence."

"Every time they're alone, they're only talking about E-Cycle. They don't talk about it in front of other people," says Craig.

Craig is trying to convince the jurors Ford knew that what he was doing was criminal, and he didn't want anyone to know about the transactions taking place.

Craig brings up a payment made in the downtown E-Cycle office where she says Ford was acting nervous, looking around the office for video cameras.

"He's afraid he's being recorded," she says.

She tells the jurors Ford doesn't casually pick up the payment, but instead wraps it up in a newspaper and takes the cash.

"I urge you to compare that video payment with the ones that preceded it," says Craig.

"He (Scholl) wants you to close your eyes to the evidence," says Craig.
