The band members had their video and photo cameras switched on -- and that is forbidden in the cathedral, judge notes, citing a witness.
Judge notes that the women were wearing short dresses. "When they bowed (before the altar), their dresses rode up."
- The judge is reading out detailed descriptions of how several believers -- the crime's victims -- said they were insulted by the womens' actions. "Their clothes didn’t conform to Church rules," the judge says, among many other complaints. "The normal functioning of the Church was violated."
- Judge just said Pussy Riot engaged in homosexual propaganda.
