Nick Tilsen’s deposition was the latest testimony heard by the nine-person jury in the marathon trial between pipeline developer Energy Transfer and Greenpeace

The case is tied to protests in 2016 and 2017 of the Dakota Access Pipeline and its controversial Missouri River crossing upstream of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s reservation. The tribe has long opposed the pipeline as a risk to its water supply. The pipeline was completed in 2017.

A Texas-based company claims the environmental advocacy group tried to delay construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline with protests.

Greenpeace provided supplies, intel and training to demonstrators who spent months camping near the Dakota Access Pipeline river crossing in south central North Dakota, employees said in video testimony played to a Morton County jury on Friday.

The request is the culmination of multiple unsuccessful attempts to convince Southwest Judicial District Judge James Gion that Morton County is the wrong venue for the lawsuit.

The organization is asking the North Dakota Supreme Court to move the civil trial brought forth by Energy Transfer to Cass County or elsewhere.
