FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda When Bass said that she did not have that much money on the estate, the couple was allegedly made to drink a sedative while the invaders escaped in her Jeep Cherokee.
The injected substance was later found to be gentian violet, a blue dye used to make pen and printer ink, which is believed to be harmless in small doses.
Mr McConnell said that Mr Letheridge, now 63, would testify that he thought he would be killed during the five-hour ordeal, when the intruders ordered him to lie on the floor and began binding his legs.
Photographs of Mrs Bass’s sprawling 1,000 acre estate were displayed to the jury on a screen, and Mr McConnell said that he would ask her “uncomfortable questions” about her wealth.
A former ballet dancer, Mrs Bass was awarded an estimated $200 million (£128 million) from her 1988 divorce from Sir Sid.
Police hunted for the gang for several years before Nicolescu, who worked for Mrs Bass for a few months in 2007 before being fired, was arrested by Homeland Security last year after he caught a flight to Chicago.
His DNA is alleged to have been found on the stolen Jeep, which was found a few days later in New York City. An accordion case containing what police say are vials containing similar liquid to that injected into the couple was washed up on a beach in the city.
For the defence, Audrey Felsen said that there was no evidence Nicolscu was responsible for the crime.
“The people who lived in that house had incredible wealth,” she said.
“Lots of people want to live that kind of life and would do almost anything to get it. Manny Nicolescu is not one of them. He didn’t commit these crimes.”
Nicolescu, who has pleaded not guilty, is charged with is charged with attempting to interfere with commerce by extortion, conspiracy and possession of a stolen vehicle.
One other member of the alleged gang was recently arrested and is due to stand trial, while the third remains on the run.
The case, at the Federal Court in New Haven Connecticut, continues.
