As WCBS 880's Irene Cornell reported, defense attorney Howard Greenberg argued that, of course, his clients were recruiting prostitutes and could not see what the big deal was.

Greenberg went on to say, " these women, simply put, worked as hoes because they wanted to."

Then he pointed to Exhibit A for the defense, a tall blonde dressed in a skin-tight sporty outfit and high-heeled sandals known as Desiree Alice.

She smiled and waved her turquoise finger nails.

Greenberg argued that she'd say that she's no victim.

Prosecutors have a photo of Alice with a black eye.
