Martese Johnson and Elizabeth Daly are the primary subjects named in this episode. You can find their images by searching the internet but in the interests of respecting their privacy I will not post them here. In particular, the bloody photo of Martese being victimized by Virginia ABC special agents serves no useful purpose other than to witness him in a moment of fear.
