About
India presented a victim impact statement at Raniere's sentencing on Day 29, describing coercion and fear that collateral would be released. She requested life imprisonment. Her statement addressed the harm she described and the sentence she wanted the court to impose.
During the jury trial, testimony concerning India addressed both restrictions affecting her and assignments she imposed on others. Mark Vicente described concerns about her weight and Allison Mack's mentorship. Nicole described severe calorie restrictions affecting India and threats of consequences for India when Nicole resisted, while qualifying her recollections of weight targets and calorie limits. On cross-examination, Jay distinguished personal journal entries from assignments imposed by India, explaining that one passage was punishment writing after she exceeded her calorie limit.
India also figured in evidence and argument about work and DOS direction. Vicente described her management of Delegates, where she assigned workers to requested tasks. Agnifilo later argued that India's payment to Jay for Delegates work undermined the forced-labor allegation. During Michael Weniger's examination, the prosecution presented Raniere's instructions concerning India as evidence of his involvement in DOS practices.
Defense counsel also questioned Vicente about his encounters with India. He acknowledged raising his voice but did not recall several statements counsel suggested he had made. The court limited statements attributed to India to their effect on Vicente, not their truth.
