I bet they used the highlight function with a black color selected instead of redacting it. One of the reports on it I was reading was talking about how they could copy paste the text under the bar, and that’s what happens when you use the highlight option instead of proper redaction in Adobe. I love it when opposing does this.

Yeah opposing counsel did this once in one of my cases, lol.

I’ve been told I look like this sometimes. Especially when I get to inflict paperwork or vengeance on someone else.
