The court hears testimony that Graham confronted Carruthers, accusing him of betrayal amidst the public outrage over the incident. This highlights the personal and social ramifications of their purportedly reckless actions. As the prosecution outlines events leading to the incident, both defendants continue to assert their innocence.
Carruthers claimed that their once close bond deteriorated as the public outrage over the Sycamore Gap tree's destruction became evident.
