Special Thanks:
- Scripted Reality: The defense claimed that the "random" party-goers were actually paid actors who had signed releases and STD test results prior to the event.
- Private vs. Public: The crux of the defense was that a private house party, invitation-only and featuring paid actors, did not constitute a "public place" under Texas lewdness statutes.
