Explosive testimony was given in court Thursday afternoon about specific text messages sent between the alleged victim, the defendants, and other teens.

Prosecutors are focusing on digital media during the second day of testimony in the trial of two Steubenville High School student-athletes charged with raping another teen.

One part of the testimony included the following text message conversation:

Alleged Victim: OMG please tell me this isn't true

Male Friend: Let me find out

Alleged Victim: OMG

Male Friend: You ok?

Alleged Victim: Not at all

Male Friend: You'll be alright. Did you do anything with them? Promise, I won't be mad.

Alleged Victim: I swear. I don't remember doing anything. I remember hearing (the defendant's) voice. I told them 'no.'

Much of the testimony was technical information, which was in stark contrast to the more emotional testimony on Wednesday.

The testimony heard during the trial's second is really the chain of evidence testimony that is necessary, but it's also tedious and sometimes confusing.

As of 5 p.m., it had all been technical because prosecutors are focusing on the cellphones collected into evidence after the alleged rape.

Investigators submitted 17 phones or devices in this case for analysis by experts at the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. One witness testified experts analyzed more than 240,000 text messages and almost 95,000 pictures on just one phone.

Experts' testimony suggested that there could have been more information on those devices that investigators couldn't obtain.

"IPhones have the ability for what they call iMessage. It's just a message being sent back and forth with only iPhones. It doesn't matter who the provider might be. It doesn't show up on the bill as long as it's sent through iMessage," one witness testified.

The first witness called on day two of the trial was an AT&T store manager and the fifth witness called was a representative from Verizon. Both testified about how their companies deal with cellphone records and the types of phones people can own.

The court took several recesses, with one of the longest being a lunch break from 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. But when everyone returned, the parties involved went to the judge's chambers for evidentiary matters and did not return until 3 p.m.

Out of all the witnesses who testified, only two people allowed media to record their testimony.

A deputy who was charged to collect three cellphones listed in search warrants and belonging to three different teens explained how he found each teen and their cellphones at the Steubenville athletic field house during a football practice.

The deputy's testimony is an example of the kind of chain-of-evidence testimony that was common on this second day.

Question: "And once you dropped them off at the Steubenville Police Department, did you do anything with these phones ever again?"

Deputy: "No."

Question: "Never turned them on?"

Deputy: "No."

Question: "Didn't flip through them?"

Deputy: “No."

Question: "Didn't do anything?"

Deputy: "No."

On Wednesday, four teens and two Steubenville police detectives testified in the trial.

The two teen defendants are charged with raping a 16-year-old girl on Aug. 11, 2012. One of the teens is also charged with transmitting sexually oriented pictures of a minor.

Both defendants are student-athletes at Steubenville High School and both have pleaded not guilty.

The charges stem from a police report that was filed in Steubenville at 1:40 a.m. Aug. 14. The report states that people came to the police station "in regards to a sexual assault involving their juvenile daughter." Information was taken for a report and the subjects were referred to the Juvenile Division, the police report stated.

Visiting Judge Thomas Lipps, a retired judge from Hamilton County, is presiding over the non-jury trial. Jefferson County Judge Samuel Kerr recused himself in late August. The Ohio Attorney General's Office took over prosecuting the case in late August after Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin also stepped aside.
