The jury was shown the full Emanuel film and was expected to view the first three episodes of Servant—the episodes Gregorini claims were based on her work. The trial is set to resume on Wednesday.

Gregorini is represented by Patrick M. Arenz, Annie Huang, Prateek N. Viswanathan, and Emily E. Niles of Robins Kaplan LLP. The defendants are represented by Brittany B. Amadi of WilmerHale and Cydney Swofford Freeman and Nicolas A. Jampol of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP.

The case is Francesca Gregorini v. Apple Inc. et al., case number 2:20-cv-00406, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
