00:00:36.640 number four economically and number five socially

00:00:44.880 moving on to the next the meaning

00:00:47.760 meaning of g shine

00:00:55.280 you had mentioned that sometimes there are specific colors that individuals are told to wear

00:01:01.840 is that reflected in this document here that was found in the ynw melly booking email objectionable

00:01:08.960 bb what does this say about the uniform or fashion statements it gives directions on the colors of

00:01:21.520 the organization what they mean and as with other other signs and symbols that they have like the

00:01:29.040 five point star gave each point of the star the specific meaning they do the same thing with the

00:01:34.480 colors come up with initialisms of what each letter of that color means why it means something to

00:01:44.480 okay in terms of the colors that were identified in this g shine document what were they

00:01:49.600 in the colors already mentioned red green and black and i mentioned black but red green and brown

00:02:12.480 the next page here what is this title okay what's up guys so um you guys are probably wondering what's

00:02:18.080 going on right now we're covering the melee trial live and what's going on is they are talking about

00:02:22.880 the g shine gang they got a detective testifying on um the gang hierarchy structure that type of thing

00:02:28.800 for the um for the um jury because as you guys know they're trying to get a death penalty a big part of

00:02:34.720 them being able to get a death penalty is they need to illustrate that meli is a gang member so that's

00:02:38.000 what they're going through right now and i'll keep repeating myself as more and more people join in

00:02:42.800 uh but yeah let's get back to the trial meaning of g shine is scary and then it says in here you've been

00:02:52.080 what does dmv mean

00:02:57.600 the department of motor vehicles no

00:03:02.080 it would be uh like the castle i'm not sure exactly what what that

00:03:06.080 that acronym is but um you when you move up in the ranks here you reassess by your higher ups by the council

00:03:19.280 okay is there a specific uniform that you talked about with previously that's mentioned in this document

00:03:26.080 that's mentioned in this document um in terms of the email address that we had looked at previously

00:03:50.400 the one the bang bang a sorry

00:03:58.880 is that consistent with what was said to be done in this last paragraph

00:04:04.400 yes that's that's typical with the gang name in general

00:04:11.120 a lot of members will just put the gang name at the end of their moniker

00:04:16.080 through their instagram handle with facebook handle whatever it is

00:04:19.760 okay going on to the next document in this what is this title

00:04:26.720 oh that's that's one of the old chapter number memorize

00:04:31.520 okay united blood nation

00:04:35.600 and now

00:04:36.480 this photo here what is this illustrating

00:04:48.000 i can make it a little bit bigger i know this is when they restructured

00:04:52.160 they were talking about the grass has been cut low

00:04:56.640 and the snake's heads have popped off so when they restructured it was for like i said you know

00:05:01.440 when there's indictments stuff like that they need to restructure and change the rules up so that way

00:05:06.480 they can lead out people that they might think are cooperating to law enforcement or just people who

00:05:11.200 aren't being true to the organization

00:05:16.560 so this is talking about that basically

00:05:21.200 there's a line that says it talks about a memo

00:05:23.840 is that something you've seen in your training experience that they

00:05:29.440 there are memos that are issued to update policy

00:05:33.040 yeah anytime it looks like a directive

00:05:36.400 anytime things are going to change within the organization they usually

00:05:40.320 uh will close the books so no new members you know

00:05:44.880 you know freeze everything no no movement and they'll reassess what they have to do within the organization so that they can

00:05:52.640 continue to um reorganize and move forward

00:05:58.720 okay in terms of you said the books what are the books

00:06:04.240 oh um it's a term to mean um literally the books like the the ledgers where they would write the

00:06:11.200 members names so when the books are closed you're not going to put new members into the books

00:06:15.520 the books most really most well organized games will have a national national ledger where all the sets

00:06:26.560 will be outlined with all the members and what ranks they currently hold okay and in terms of this last

00:06:35.520 email here an image that's the close-up or i'm sorry the last image was a close-up of this

00:06:42.240 email header who was this email sent to i see a paper he was identified as subjecting goon on the phone

00:06:54.960 seven seven two seven one three nine eight oh seven that phone okay and who was it sent to

00:07:01.520 you so you mentioned a lot of the items and the phone that you've reviewed yes

00:07:17.120 all right so guys just you know this detective right here is masked

00:07:39.200 up okay um i think he's an undercover detective so he's speaking about the gang um because he probably

00:07:45.440 does undercover with gang stuff so uh but yeah he's actually wearing a mask which you don't see this

00:07:49.680 often

00:07:59.360 detective do you recognize what's been labeled as state triple d

00:08:03.200 yes how do you recognize that this is a extraction report from the cell phone

00:08:15.840 ending in 9807 uh messages between that phone number and uh the contact state that is gf stretch put the

00:08:24.720 uh suppressed out using an x instead of s and does this fairly and accurately depict the conversation

00:08:31.760 that is on that cell phone yes here at this time the state would request to move states triple b in

00:08:37.280 okay detective on this particular

00:09:04.880 phone and this messages there's the term rise up and beloved is that something based on your training

00:09:14.560 experience you can offer an opinion on yes mentioned throughout multiple so they're using

00:09:21.520 melly's text messages right now guys to illustrate that he is in fact a gang member whether it's him

00:09:26.000 crossing out seas in his writing um the way they communicate using the gang vernacular they're

00:09:31.520 establishing right now that he is in fact a gang member and they got a detective here

00:09:35.360 who's a subject matter expert on gangs and does undercover with gangs to testify to it

00:09:41.680 uh g shine bibles the term rise up um beloved it's just a term of endearment that they're using

00:09:49.520 between each other you know on its own doesn't really mean anything but knowing that these guys are

00:09:54.080 members of um members of g shine who does so if you guys remember um you know in the famous song

00:10:01.760 50 cent you know what up blood huh what up cuz uh what up gangsta right so that's uh you know you

00:10:07.760 say what up blood you're referring to another member of the gang in an endearing way same thing with

00:10:13.200 cuz if you're a crip so um they're using this right now to show that millie is in fact the gang member

00:10:18.720 of the group okay so in terms of the term hirk h-u-r-k on this particular message is that something

00:10:29.520 you've seen before yes and what is does hurt mean hurt is a term used by members of g shine

00:10:38.640 to refer to each other it's like calling each other bro or dude same thing members of g shine call each

00:10:45.840 other hook that's one of the changes and on the december 1st 2018 this particular message is there

00:10:59.520 another term that would indicate g shine affiliation the uh rank designation is cari

00:11:15.840 um he's addressing he's addressing he's addressing the person receiving that message as an escarbi okay

00:11:24.240 he's not just saying the words cari understood um in terms of the last message here that looks like

00:11:32.800 december 29th of 2018 you could read that one aloud please and i can make it bigger

00:11:39.680 you have many other hoods that have productible aspects in motion and it's time for us to put a

00:11:50.960 form of some businesses into existence so you can grow as a family we're already established financially

00:11:57.520 so we want to combine with you in the form of growth and development and endure prosperous ventures as a

00:12:04.400 collective um going on to

00:12:15.920 january 27th of 2019 is it the same use of the term 11. yes

00:12:23.280 um and turn on then it says line up some venues detective polo i want to ask you if someone is

00:12:35.440 a member in a

00:12:38.880 any sort of music group yes why would they be talking about venues with someone who is identified as a

00:12:45.520 godfather because they would need to get

00:12:48.480 um

00:12:49.440 distinct so just like before i want to back up and go into your training and education and experience

00:12:55.280 on areas of control by specific areas under the blood gang apparently and you mentioned that

00:13:04.560 there are different sets in different areas of the country correct in terms of the various neighborhoods

00:13:13.280 and various businesses within that neighborhood do you have training and experience as to how

00:13:22.320 access to those businesses are controlled so if you're in a neighborhood that is predominantly

00:13:30.160 controlled by the specific gang whether it be the bloods or whatever and

00:13:35.280 you are trying to go to that neighborhood you need to have a almost like an approval

00:13:45.120 to be there if not you might if you're in the wrong neighborhood you might get approached and

00:13:53.760 the repercussions could be different for every person but the point is you probably get confronted

00:14:00.560 so i want to move on to some of the other messages that you've gone through

00:14:09.360 when it marked as states triple w

00:14:13.680 which has been previously provided to defense council

00:14:16.240 i'm showing you states triple w hard to come into court today did you have an opportunity to review

00:14:27.440 this document yes does that document accurately depict five different chat conversations

00:14:36.160 between the individual using the 9807 phone number and some of the individuals you talked about

00:14:42.240 previously geno perc um japan burton etc objection that this is not in a position to test whether that

00:14:55.920 accurately reflects conversations between two people that you cannot follow today does that accurately

00:15:02.560 reflect the conversations that were captured on the 9807 cell phone extraction yes in terms of is there

00:15:09.120 any additions or deletions or deletions from the cell phone instructions

00:15:17.440 i don't believe so i didn't see any red usually when it's deleted

00:15:23.680 do they clearly accurately predict the conversations on the 9807 cell phone yes

00:15:29.920 here at this time the state would request to make a triple w all right since we got almost 700 you guys in

00:15:35.440 here guys what they're basically going over right now is they're going through melly's phone

00:15:40.160 establishing that he is in fact a gang member for the g shine bloods okay they're establishing 0.98

00:15:45.760 what the bloods are then they're establishing this set they're establishing terminology that they use

00:15:50.160 when they communicate with each other like herk for example blood these are terms of rendearment 1.00

00:15:55.200 the g shine bloods in particular use the term herk so the prosecutor's going through that

00:15:59.440 and she has a detective on the stand right now that's identifying these terms

00:16:05.440 and explaining it to the jury um and the detective has his head recovered for his safety obviously

00:16:12.160 because he's um a probably undercover so that's why um they're going through this because they're

00:16:18.640 trying to put get the death penalty on uh on melly and to get the death penalty the enhancement to

00:16:25.520 get that death penalty is they're going to need to establish that he's a gang member that's why

00:16:28.400 this testimony is so critical to the death penalty portion of the case

00:16:32.240 and guys she doesn't have enough for a conviction right now but they're going through the case so

00:16:56.320 they already had their witnesses lined up so now she's covering this section but she's also going to

00:17:00.240 bring i think the medical examiner in which is going to be interesting because the medical examiner is

00:17:04.000 going to explain how the two victims actually died not through a drive-by but rather being shot in the

00:17:09.280 vehicle so detective i'm going to go through and start with some of the pictures that are in this exhibit

00:17:30.240 this is

00:17:40.560 reference the pages as you go if you don't

00:17:44.880 and guys do me a favor we got uh almost 800 you guys in here can you guys like the video man um i

00:17:50.080 don't normally live stream trials like this but i know that you guys enjoy this stuff so

00:17:53.440 i'm doing it for y'all we're watching it live together i'm explaining terminology so the only thing

00:17:56.960 i ask is that you guys like the video so starting and going on which is labeled as page six and this

00:18:05.600 is a conversation that starts out with an individual named fully and the 9807 cell phone number

00:18:12.320 um are there pictures that are sent back and forth between these individuals yes

00:18:18.880 um

00:18:35.680 um

00:18:41.200 um

00:18:45.120 So they're going to pull up pictures from Ellie's phone now, and more text messages.

00:19:10.180 So the record's clear, Council, what's the incident number?

00:19:12.680 This is still the same exhibit, this is just a digital copy so that we can access the photos.

00:19:18.680 So you can exhibit 7-0?

00:19:20.680 Yes.

00:19:21.680 Thank you.

00:19:25.680 So in terms of the images that were sent, were you being familiar with Jamel Demons?

00:19:33.680 Yes.

00:19:34.680 Can you point her out in this particular photograph?

00:19:37.680 Now, if you guys noticed, they did this with YSL as well, using pictures back against

00:19:44.680 them to show gang ties.

00:19:46.680 It's no longer a touch screen on that, I don't believe, because it's now in this case.

00:19:53.680 It's the subject where she was jumping in.

00:19:55.680 And the center of the frame?

00:19:56.680 Yes.

00:19:57.680 Yes.

00:19:58.680 Conviction Young made a record reflect that the state pointed to it, and he identified

00:20:04.680 the person to whom the state pointed to it.

00:20:06.680 Let me go to a different one.

00:20:10.680 Do you see the defendant Jamel Demons in this photo?

00:20:18.680 Can I stand up your arm?

00:20:19.680 Yes.

00:20:20.680 Thank you.

00:20:21.680 In terms of the hand gestures or signals that he is making, is that anything that you

00:20:29.680 can comment on with your hemsterties?

00:20:31.680 It's an east side sign.

00:20:32.680 He's an east side blood.

00:20:33.680 That's all.

00:20:34.680 All the blood signs.

00:20:35.680 You have to speak up.

00:20:36.680 So look, as you guys can see here, they're using these pictures against him.

00:20:47.680 To show his allegiance to the gang.

00:20:50.680 I'm sorry, sir.

00:20:51.680 One.

00:20:52.680 Oh, I'm talking to you now.

00:20:54.680 And so you first said the east side one.

00:20:57.680 Is that being done with his left hand or right hand?

00:21:00.680 I don't know from the pictures.

00:21:04.680 The east side is being pointed forward.

00:21:07.680 Out there.

00:21:08.680 And then back to the other hand, it's kind of crooked, so I can't tell you how the east

00:21:12.680 center is doing this, which is a blood cancelling.

00:21:15.680 The east side.

00:21:35.680 Those are both from page six of state 70.

00:21:38.680 Going now to page 14.

00:21:53.680 You indicated that some of the emails were identified as a specific individual.

00:22:01.680 Who was that?

00:22:03.680 Derek Dixon in the emails was identified as Gino and Gino.

00:22:08.680 This phone number was identified as Derek Dixon.

00:22:11.680 The same person.

00:22:12.680 In terms of the messages here on page 14 of state 70.

00:22:18.680 The phone first message on September 16 of 2018.

00:22:23.680 What does that say?

00:22:25.680 I'm sorry.

00:22:26.680 Say that again?

00:22:27.680 The first one.

00:22:28.680 The first one.

00:22:29.680 Oh.

00:22:30.680 Lock me in below.

00:22:31.680 And then took out the seat of the X.

00:22:33.680 Okay.

00:22:34.680 Then the next message, the response from the 9807 phone number.

00:22:39.680 What is that?

00:22:40.680 050.

00:22:41.680 That's blood code.

00:22:42.680 He later on in this text, he explains it.

00:22:45.680 Okay.

00:22:46.680 Down to the next one from the number that's identified as Gino.

00:22:52.680 And what message does that say?

00:22:55.680 Me and the Godfather, the GF, talked about you until we come into your show in Orlando.

00:23:05.680 Moving on to page 15.

00:23:16.680 In this second message here on page 15, what are we looking at?

00:23:21.680 The 050 means on point.

00:23:23.680 He's on point.

00:23:24.680 Can you translate that, please?

00:23:25.680 Please.

00:23:26.680 Gino's, the subject safe is Gino, is explaining what the code means so that the recipient doesn't

00:23:35.680 mess up when the Godfather.

00:23:37.680 So look, 050 means on point.

00:23:40.680 DL means I got you or for show or yeah, okay, means butter, smoke.

00:23:44.680 SL means shine, love.

00:23:47.680 Greetings and responses are rise and shine.

00:23:49.680 I shine, you shine.

00:23:50.680 Rise up and boppin'.

00:23:52.680 Shine.

00:23:53.680 Shine.

00:23:54.680 Shine.

00:23:56.680 Shine.

00:23:57.680 Shine.

00:24:06.680 Shine.

00:24:07.680 Shine.

00:24:08.680 Shine.

00:24:09.680 So it's saying Bofaro means on point, DL means I got you, and he proceeds to give other definitions.

00:24:17.680 SL means you have greetings and responses, R, rise and shine, I shine, you shine, rise up, up and pop, and shine, shine right, shine bright, light shine, shine blue gold.

00:24:28.680 So these are all things that were written in that original document that we hung over.

00:24:33.680 And that original document in terms of the date on that, do you recall for the set date?

00:24:40.680 September something, September 16th, 2018.

00:24:46.680 September 16th, okay.

00:24:48.680 So in some of the responses from the 9807, again, that term per.

00:25:05.680 Again, it's just the term used between members of G shine, he's just responding, just using G shine terms.

00:25:16.680 Okay.

00:25:20.680 Continuing on through the month of September on page 16.

00:25:28.680 And in terms of the message here from the 9807.

00:25:35.680 So I can see, what does it say there?

00:25:37.680 Just checking in, the C is taken out and the B is put in its place.

00:25:43.680 Okay.

00:25:44.680 And do you, can you explain what, or translate the September 21st, 2018, 1126 PM message from Dino?

00:25:55.680 Just asking if he's all right.

00:25:57.680 Everything's good.

00:25:59.680 Respond to everything's good.

00:26:02.680 We'll probably hope.

00:26:17.680 Can you explain what is a square?

00:26:21.680 It's reference to page 19.

00:26:24.680 A square is a narcotic slang for a key, typically a kilogram of any type of narcotic.

00:26:37.680 Yeah, they use squares when I was in South Texas, a kilo of drugs.

00:26:42.680 It's a cocaine, heroin, heroin, whatever.

00:26:44.680 Injection, your honor.

00:34:18.200 sends an image and this is on page 24 for council

00:34:33.960 in terms of this message

00:34:38.280 In terms of this message, can you translate as to what it's talking about?

00:35:08.260 It's a picture of another phone, a contact name tall, the person holding the phone writes,

00:35:18.260 did you ever skyline with him, so did you ever connect with him or talk to him?

00:35:22.260 He's dying to talk to you. Melody, that is. And then he says he's going to have to hit him up today.

00:35:33.260 He's alive and human. He's going to have to hit him up today.

00:35:38.260 So then he's going to answer the DL line.

00:35:44.260 Tell him they'll be expecting that. Okay. And then the next response?

00:35:49.260 I want you to groom him, show them the meaning of the chain of command, safety and security, show you something different.

00:35:56.260 And the response?

00:35:58.260 I got you. I just know that by him talking to you.

00:36:04.260 Jake, for the hair, say this is an image of a conversation between two other people.

00:36:11.260 Why don't you come for a second?

00:36:15.260 My bad, guys.

00:36:24.260 My bad, guys.

00:36:26.260 Okay, guys, courts on sidebar. 0.55

00:36:47.260 What that basically means is when they're on sidebar, they're talking on the side.

00:36:53.260 Like the two lawyers, the defense counsel and the prosecution are meeting with the judge, talking to the side where no one can hear their conversation.

00:37:01.260 So and it's meant to be, you know, pretty much a lawyer only discussion because judges are lawyers to 99% of the time.

00:37:07.260 So let's go ahead and see if we can fast forward this trial a bit.

00:37:11.260 If they're at a sidebar.

00:37:13.260 If I hit the live.

00:37:17.260 Okay.

00:37:19.260 Prejudices.

00:37:20.260 So it's really going to depend on how they see this case, their own feelings about gang violence, for example, their own feelings about.

00:37:28.260 Drinking some Gorilla Mine over here, guys.

00:37:30.260 Make sure to use the code fresh at checkout.

00:37:32.260 Loyalty about betrayal.

00:37:34.260 So all this plays into it.

00:37:35.260 And it's something that's definitely weighing on their minds.

00:37:38.260 Yeah, I would imagine so.

00:37:39.260 And I would imagine during the voir dire process, jury selection process, both attorneys, both sides really question these jurors about their preconceived notions about gangs or gang violence.

00:37:52.260 And very important fact.

00:37:54.260 That's why they say the case is won or lost in jury selection.

00:37:56.260 Absolutely.

00:37:57.260 Absolutely.

00:37:58.260 And Ikeisha, you know that jury selection is so important here.

00:38:01.260 And let's talk about the jury in terms of this testimony.

00:38:05.260 Gang testimony, testimony regarding gangs tends to be riveting at times for a jury because it's just an intriguing set of facts to hear about.

00:38:15.260 This feels a little dry.

00:38:17.260 How do you think the prosecution could have improved, not to be Monday morning quarterbacking this, but improve the presentation that we see here?

00:38:27.260 I think they should have allowed the jury to just know that he was in a gang.

00:38:32.260 Period.

00:38:33.260 I think the fact that they're now trying to explain this some more hurts them because the average juror, which is why we have an expert, right?

00:38:40.260 The average juror doesn't know this about gangs.

00:38:43.260 They just think that gangs are violent.

00:38:45.260 They don't know that there are laws.

00:38:47.260 They don't know that they're instructing you to love each other and to read and to go to school and not to be homosexual and to make sure your hygiene is good. 0.65

00:38:56.260 And so they don't know this about gangs.

00:38:59.260 And so now you're introducing them to an element and an aspect that they aren't familiar with that undermines your case.

00:39:06.260 And so I think that they have a problem.

00:39:09.260 I disagree.

00:39:10.260 No, I disagree.

00:39:12.260 I disagree.

00:39:13.260 A hundred percent disagree with these people.

00:39:15.260 I ain't gonna lie, man.

00:39:16.260 The Law and Crime Network, some of the people that they bring on are kind of suspect.

00:39:19.260 And it makes me question a lot of times their professional experience.

00:39:22.260 It's actually extremely important to outline the gangs activities, practices, behaviors, structure, hierarchy, vernacular, you know, codes.

00:39:34.260 All of these things are important to establish that they're an organized criminal faction.

00:39:39.260 OK, that's extremely important.

00:39:41.260 I remember when I was an agent myself and I investigated gangs, I used to write reports extremely detailed about, for example, I did land kings for a bit.

00:39:49.260 Incas, regional Incas, what enforcers, what they did, what their roles were, who was who, how they did meetings, what a violation was.

00:39:56.260 All these things needed to be documented in reports.

00:39:59.260 So I get it.

00:40:00.260 It's a state level.

00:40:01.260 So they might say, oh, this is overkill or whatever.

00:40:03.260 But it is important to establish this so that the jury understands that this is organized crime.

00:40:08.260 This isn't just like these dudes saying, oh, yeah, we bloods, blah, blah.

00:40:11.260 No, no, no.

00:40:12.260 There's codes, rules and regulations.

00:40:14.260 It's an enterprise.

00:40:15.260 OK, that's why when you hit that people with RICO, they need to establish that it is a criminal enterprise.

00:40:20.260 That's why gangs fall in that line because of all the structure.

00:40:24.260 So they're incorrect.

00:40:26.260 Yeah, no, absolutely.

00:40:27.260 I 100 percent agree, because what we just saw, actually, in that clip was sort of like a code of conduct there.

00:40:33.260 And it doesn't seem nefarious.

00:40:34.260 It doesn't seem violent, if anything.

00:40:37.260 And this is the importance of having experience, guys, not just as like, you know, oh, I'm a lawyer.

00:40:41.260 I did this or whatever.

00:40:43.260 How many criminal cases have you actually investigated?

00:40:45.260 How many people have you put in jail?

00:40:47.260 How many reports have you written?

00:40:48.260 How many affidavits have you sworn to?

00:40:50.260 How many search warrants have you done? 1.00

00:40:52.260 I've done all this shit. 0.99

00:40:53.260 You know what I mean? 0.99

00:40:54.260 So that's why, like, I'll listen to these people over here on this long crime network.

00:40:57.260 I'll be like, man, some of y'all don't know what you guys are talking about.

00:41:00.260 It's saying love your brother, your fellow gang member.

00:41:02.260 That's going to possibly hurt the prosecution.

00:41:04.260 So great point there.

00:41:06.260 Before we close out the show, Dr. Bober, I want to get your take a quick 10 second take.

00:41:12.260 Do you think the prosecution is going to get their conviction?

00:41:14.260 Or right now, as it stands, do you think the defense has a chance to get an acquittal?

00:41:18.260 I don't think this is a slam dunk by any means.

00:41:21.260 I think the defense definitely has some inroads in there and there's some reasonable doubt for sure.

00:41:25.260 So I think it's not a slam dunk.

00:41:27.260 I think they still have a chance.

00:41:28.260 Great.

00:41:29.260 And Dr. Bober, thank you for joining us today.

00:41:31.260 My pleasure.

00:41:32.260 Aikisha, I want to get you quickly for your 10 second take. 0.97

00:41:35.260 Do you think the prosecution have a conviction or an acquittal possibly in the making here?

00:41:40.260 Acquittal in the making?

00:41:41.260 And I'll tell you right, really quickly, jurors are serious about murder cases more so than any other type of case.

00:41:47.260 And they are not going to accept anything but the most ironclad type of evidence to send this young man to prison for the rest of his life to his death.

00:41:55.260 All right.

00:41:56.260 Thank you for joining me, Aikisha, Dr. Bober.

00:42:02.260 Hold on.

00:42:05.260 I think they might be having a recess for the trial.

00:42:07.260 Let's see here.

00:42:16.260 Hmm.

00:42:17.260 All right.

00:42:18.260 So I guess.

00:42:19.260 Yeah, it's probably a recess right now.

00:42:22.260 It looks like what's going on here.

00:42:24.260 Let's see here.

00:42:28.260 Okay.

00:42:29.260 I'll have some of the chats real quick.

00:42:31.260 Um, and if you guys have any questions, throw them in in a chat and I'll answer them.

00:42:36.260 Um, while we wait for this thing to come back up.

00:42:38.260 But yeah, more than likely what's happening is there's a recess.

00:42:41.260 Uh, let's see here.

00:42:44.260 I'll refresh it one more time.

00:42:45.260 One more time.

00:42:56.260 Okay.

00:42:57.260 All right.

00:42:58.260 So while we wait for that, let's see here.

00:43:00.260 We got Jerry, uh, Pacheco goes, can you cover Edward Snowden?

00:43:04.260 Also side note.

00:43:05.260 Can the Tate seek asylum?

00:43:07.260 Like Snowden, uh, did.

00:43:09.260 Um, I could covered Edward Snowden, but guys, you gotta remember Snowden is not in prison.

00:43:13.260 So his indictment and criminal, uh, complaint are filed away.

00:43:18.260 I can't, I can't pull them up.

00:43:20.260 Um, because he hasn't been arrested.

00:43:22.260 So since he hasn't been arrested, none of his court documents are available.

00:43:25.260 So typically when the person's arrested, they unseal the indictment.

00:43:29.260 So you can actually read the charges against them.

00:43:30.260 So right now at this point, I don't even know, um, what the charges are exactly.

00:43:34.260 I know it's probably, it's definitely going to be violations of the espionage act a hundred

00:43:37.260 percent.

00:43:39.260 Um, which is, as you guys know, if you've been watching the Trump trial, right?

00:43:42.260 18 USC seven 93.

00:43:43.260 I want you guys to learn that 18 USC seven 93.

00:43:46.260 That's, uh, the espionage act.

00:43:48.260 Um, so that's what I think it is.

00:43:49.260 And then we got, um, hedging mastermind goes, Maren, your voice volume is too low.

00:43:53.260 Okay.

00:43:54.260 I turn it, turning it up a bit. 0.98

00:43:56.260 Um, I think it's because the fucking, um, trial thing is so goddamn loud with the ambient noise. 0.98

00:44:00.260 And then them boys, uh, CIA goes, uh, fresh. 0.99

00:44:04.260 And, uh, monkey and monkey.

00:44:07.260 Okay.

00:44:08.260 I don't know if, uh, LOL if you're trying to make fun of us, but okay.

00:44:13.260 Um, let's see here.

00:44:15.260 Um, so yeah, guys, get any questions in while we wait for this thing to come back up.

00:44:19.260 I think they're going to bring it back.

00:44:20.260 I think they're just doing a recess right now, but I figured I was like, yo, let's go ahead

00:44:25.260 and, uh, do this trial.

00:44:26.260 You know, we could go backwards a bit to some of the testimony from before.

00:44:30.260 Let's see here.

00:44:31.260 Uh, when they first brought this detective and he was, let's see what these guys got

00:44:40.260 to say.

00:44:41.260 It's always funny to hear their opinions are not there to report.

00:44:43.260 All right.

00:44:44.260 So let's see what they got to say.

00:44:45.260 This was earlier in the day.

00:44:46.260 This was approximately, uh, four hours ago or so.

00:44:51.260 Port it.

00:44:52.260 So maybe you can say, Hey, we believe because of his absence, he must've been in the shooting,

00:44:57.260 but that doesn't help.

00:44:58.260 That doesn't help.

00:44:59.260 So to me, the strongest, even though it is pretty weak is the video of him getting into

00:45:03.260 that very seat that they say the shots came from.

00:45:07.260 Our next question.

00:45:08.260 I'll take this one.

00:45:09.260 It's from Catherine Vargas from Facebook.

00:45:11.260 How long is the case supposed to last?

00:45:13.260 Will there be any?

00:45:14.260 Hey guys, do me a quick favor.

00:45:15.260 Uh, we got, uh, 1100 plus yell in here.

00:45:17.260 Do me a favor.

00:45:18.260 Like the video.

00:45:19.260 Let's get to, um, uh, one thousand 100% engagement.

00:45:22.260 Almost let's hit 1000 likes if we can guys.

00:45:24.260 Cause it helps a lot with the algorithm.

00:45:25.260 Uh, we've been getting a lot of haters that like, come on and watch our videos just to

00:45:29.260 hate watch.

00:45:30.260 We got a lot of hate watchers, which is strange to me.

00:45:31.260 Um, so let's kind of override their hate and, uh, like the video, please.

00:45:35.260 It helps a lot with the algo.

00:45:36.260 Breaks for July 4th.

00:45:38.260 Well, Catherine, the answer is, uh, they're off the week of July 4th.

00:45:43.260 Obviously there's a holiday in there and then they don't go have court on Fridays.

00:45:47.260 So that would be a very short week.

00:45:49.260 So they're off that week.

00:45:50.260 And we think that this case could wrap up by the end of July.

00:45:53.260 So that's what they're for.

00:45:55.260 Oh, wow.

00:45:56.260 They're for tough.

00:45:57.260 I didn't realize that they have that much evidence that they got to go after guys.

00:46:00.260 This is this judge.

00:46:01.260 This case is going to go for damn near a month casting right now.

00:46:04.260 Uh, our next question offy is from Becky S from YouTube.

00:46:08.260 If YNW Melly is found not guilty, will it be easier to convict Bortland?

00:46:13.260 All right. 1.00

00:46:14.260 So for all the idiots out there that are saying that, like, oh, Melly's innocent, blah, blah, 1.00

00:46:17.260 guys, if the trial still has like another month to go, then bruh, everyone that's saying 1.00

00:46:24.260 this prosecutor sucks, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, y'all are nah. 0.95

00:46:27.260 Then that means that the prosecution has ample time to prove their case. 0.98

00:46:32.260 So everyone here is speaking way too early.

00:46:34.260 And what charges is Bortland being charged with?

00:46:38.260 I think that, um, I think it would be equally difficult to convict, um, Bortland.

00:46:45.260 And, but I do think the prosecution, um, I don't know if it's going to be the same prosecutor,

00:46:49.260 but they will have learned, uh, a lot from, uh, this trial with Melly.

00:46:54.260 They will know, um, what their pitfalls are and they'll know how to be prepared with their

00:46:59.260 evidence and with the information, um, that they're trying to introduce into court.

00:47:03.260 Um, for example, uh, Melly's girlfriend's mom and her testimony, they'll know how to treat

00:47:07.260 that.

00:47:08.260 You know, it's just, this will essentially be a test run for them with, um, Bortland.

00:47:13.260 Um, Bortland, excuse me.

00:47:15.260 It kind of is a test run, uh, for them with Bortland.

00:47:18.260 And just so you guys know, quick little reminder, who is YW Bortland?

00:47:22.260 YW Bortland guys is Cortland Henry.

00:47:24.260 That is one of Melly's best friends.

00:47:26.260 He is the individual that was driving the vehicle.

00:47:29.260 Okay.

00:47:30.260 On the day of the shooting.

00:47:31.260 And just to give you guys an illustration, um, right.

00:47:36.260 Of what it was.

00:47:38.260 Okay.

00:47:39.260 This is how they were arranged in the vehicle guys.

00:47:41.260 Okay.

00:47:42.260 Um, you can see here, you got, uh, you got Bortland in the front, Melly back passenger

00:47:49.260 seat, um, Chris, and then you got sack chaser in the front.

00:47:54.260 So this is how they were arranged in the vehicle.

00:47:55.260 After the shooting happened and both individuals were deceased, the vehicle was driven to a

00:48:00.260 desolate area out in Miramar, Florida.

00:48:03.260 They shot on the right hand side of the vehicle over here.

00:48:06.260 Okay.

00:48:07.260 Um, to make it look like a drive by shooting.

00:48:09.260 And Bortland took the two to the hospital and said that they had been victims of a drive

00:48:13.260 by shooting.

00:48:14.260 Melly was nowhere to be found, but they have surveillance footage that shows that Melly did

00:48:18.260 in fact get in the back of the vehicle.

00:48:20.260 Um, uh, earlier that evening.

00:48:23.260 Okay.

00:48:24.260 Next question, Terry Zach P productions from YouTube in terms of the overall legal system,

00:48:30.260 what type of ramifications charge changes?

00:48:33.260 Pardon me.

00:48:34.260 Might arise from this court case.

00:48:36.260 Well, I think the biggest ramification would be this death penalty issue, because if in

00:48:43.260 fact the death penalty is something that the jury comes to the conclusion, I think that

00:48:49.260 eight for new law that governor DeSantis put into place will be something that not only the

00:48:55.260 courts in Florida will be looking at, but an issue that could go back up to the Supreme

00:48:59.260 Court.

00:49:00.260 The Supreme Court has looked at this issue several times and ultimately, you know, Florida

00:49:05.260 was able now to put it back to eight for, but I do think that that's going to be challenged.

00:49:10.260 So obviously it has other ramifications as to whether or not you can use music, whether

00:49:15.260 or not, you know, you can include certain evidence in the trial.

00:49:20.260 But I think the biggest issue here is the fact that they are asking for the death penalty

00:49:25.260 on a case where most people are saying, even if he's found guilty, why would this be a death

00:49:30.260 penalty case?

00:49:31.260 We saw with the Parkland shooter that that case was a case that was a death penalty case.

00:49:36.260 And even in that case, they did not elect to have him convicted and have him put to death.

00:49:43.260 He obviously pled guilty.

00:49:44.260 And the sentencing phase, the jury decided, look, we're not going to put him to death,

00:49:49.260 even though all those aggravating factors existed.

00:49:52.260 So I think the death penalty is probably the biggest issue in this case.

00:49:56.260 I think so, too.

00:49:57.260 And with that new law, it'll be interesting to see how that holds up when it's challenged.

00:50:02.260 TikTok question for you, Brian Buckmeyer.

00:50:05.260 Official 2023 Mellifan asks, why is he not allowed to talk to his family?

00:50:11.260 And I think that Mellifan means inside the courtroom.

00:50:14.260 Yeah, it's an issue that a lot of us defense attorneys have with both the courts and their

00:50:21.260 court staff in the sense of they would argue is just the mechanics of it all doesn't work.

00:50:27.260 They don't want to have anyone passing information, contraband, touching each other.

00:50:34.260 There are very strict rules about what you can and cannot do in a courtroom.

00:50:38.260 And oftentimes, those rules are limiting the access that a defendant, especially when the

00:50:44.260 person is incarcerated, may have with family.

00:50:47.260 Now, are there exceptions?

00:50:48.260 Of course.

00:50:49.260 Have I had the opportunity to have a client say goodbye to a loved one, a child of theirs,

00:50:56.260 family members, whatever it is, before they're sentenced and go off to upstate?

00:51:00.260 We call it upstate New York because they literally go from one of the five rows to upstate New

00:51:04.260 York for a serious jail time.

00:51:05.260 Yes.

00:51:06.260 But during a trial, I don't know of any judge that will bend court rules to allow for any

00:51:12.260 interaction.

00:51:13.260 So that's why you'll see Mellifan kind of looking off to the side and voicing to family

00:51:17.260 or friends because there's not that ability to interact with them more personally.

00:51:21.260 Yeah.

00:51:22.260 Most courts have very strict rules about that.

00:51:25.260 And they don't want this to be social hour.

00:51:28.260 But it just depends on which court you're in, how strictly they enforce these rules.

00:51:34.260 Anna underscore Aaron Trout from Instagram, Afi.

00:51:38.260 Is he going to take the stand at some time?

00:51:40.260 What do you think?

00:51:42.260 Thanks, Anna.

00:51:43.260 I doubt it very much.

00:51:45.260 Defense attorneys usually do not, they do everything they can so that their client does not have

00:51:52.260 to take the stand.

00:51:53.260 Because of course, the client has the right not to testify. 0.99

00:51:57.260 Taking the stand is one of the dumbest things you can do.

00:51:59.260 But also, I've said this thousands of times, defendants are under so much scrutiny. 0.95

00:52:05.260 Anything that they can, anything they do is going to be picked apart from how they breathe,

00:52:11.260 how they speak, whether they sound remorseful, if they sound remorseful, why?

00:52:16.260 Whether they're talking or speaking assertively, whether they're speaking gently.

00:52:20.260 Anything they do is going to be highly scrutinized.

00:52:24.260 And depending on how you lean, you are going to interpret it positively or negatively.

00:52:29.260 And it's just, it doesn't matter what they say.

00:52:31.260 It's all about behavior, mannerisms, and what you expect a guilty man or an innocent person

00:52:39.260 to say on the stand.

00:52:40.260 So it's just troublesome.

00:52:42.260 And not only that, when a defendant takes the stand, you don't know what you're going

00:52:46.260 to get all of the time.

00:52:47.260 They can open the door to admitting evidence or admitting a line of questioning that previously

00:52:54.260 would not have been admitted.

00:52:56.260 So you don't want to do that.

00:52:57.260 There are also, you know, prior bad acts that may be able to come into play that they may

00:53:02.260 be questioned on.

00:53:03.260 So it's just a minefield.

00:53:05.260 And a lot of times it's just not worth it.

00:53:08.260 Yeah, certainly.

00:53:09.260 And defendants open themselves up to a lot of cross-examination when they take the stand.

00:53:15.260 Let's get to our next question, Terry.

00:53:17.260 We have less than a minute, so it has to be quick.

00:53:19.260 Kick It's Mackle from YouTube.

00:53:22.260 Does the court know that the undercover detective is known for making false accusations?

00:53:26.260 This seems like this person's making a statement here.

00:53:28.260 We don't know anything about that.

00:53:30.260 Well, certainly the court may know, but I don't think anyone else in that courtroom knows.

00:53:36.260 For instance, the jury or anyone in the audience that I'm aware of, that has not been introduced.

00:53:41.260 They did the voir dire of the undercover agent and none of that came up during that voir dire.

00:53:47.260 The only issue that came up and the only issue that mattered to that judge was whether

00:53:51.260 or not he was in fear of his life and whether he could wear that mask.

00:53:54.260 Yeah.

00:53:55.260 Yeah.

00:53:56.260 That's that. 0.99

00:53:57.260 That's a stupid question by the people, because what ends up happening, guys, before trial 0.99

00:54:01.260 is they always do like Giglio conversations. 1.00

00:54:04.260 Right.

00:54:05.260 So anytime an officer has like, you know, issues with, you know, candor or, you know, not being

00:54:11.260 honest in the past or whatever, they would never put them on trial to testify.

00:54:15.260 And and before any any law enforcement officers is supposed to testify, the prosecutor a lot

00:54:20.260 of the times and the defense get gets files of anything that they have.

00:54:24.260 So if they have any internal investigations going on, if they have any issues going on like

00:54:27.260 that, Giglio problems, blah, blah, blah.

00:54:30.260 They go ahead and they have to disclose that to the defense.

00:54:33.260 So prosecutors a lot of times try not to use guys that have shady past or might be under

00:54:38.260 investigation from an internal affairs standpoint or any type of internal investigations.

00:54:42.260 So that's all made public to the defense and to the prosecutor.

00:54:45.260 And I know this for a fact.

00:54:46.260 Why?

00:54:47.260 Because when I was an agent and I went to trial, I had to go ahead and sit there with

00:54:51.260 the prosecutor and grill every single agent and every single law enforcement officer that

00:54:54.260 came in that was testifying in the trial and asked them all these uncomfortable questions.

00:54:59.260 So I know that for a fact.

00:55:00.260 You must screen out every single law enforcement officer that comes in to testify in your trial.

00:55:05.260 Well, Terry, thanks so much for being with us.

00:55:09.260 But, you know, like the guy video because y'all are not going to get this type of insight

00:55:16.260 anywhere else on YouTube because I've actually went to trial.

00:55:20.260 I've won trial.

00:55:21.260 I've sat there and gathered evidence with the prosecutors, sat there.

00:55:24.260 I've testified hundreds of times around a bunch of affidavits.

00:55:27.260 This is my lane.

00:55:29.260 OK, there's not many things that I'm super cocky and arrogant about, but this is one of them

00:55:33.260 because I've actually done these cases.

00:55:35.260 I know what I'm talking about when it comes to this stuff.

00:55:37.260 So I've actually went to trial before.

00:55:39.260 Most law enforcement officers have never went to trial before.

00:55:43.260 I went to trial as the case agent, which means I was responsible with the prosecutor

00:55:47.260 for putting everything together, making sure the case stuck and that we had all the evidence

00:55:50.260 that we needed to conclude.

00:55:52.260 It was like a three or four day trial.

00:55:54.260 It wasn't too long.

00:55:55.260 But but it really, you know, shows it really tests the strength of your case and it tests

00:56:01.260 your skills and investigator because everything comes out in a trial.

00:56:04.260 Right.

00:56:05.260 That's why most prosecutors never want to go to trial.

00:56:07.260 So.

00:56:08.260 So, yeah.

00:56:09.260 Thanks, everybody, for being with us as well.

00:56:11.260 Brian, Afi.

00:56:12.260 Thank you.

00:56:13.260 I'm signing off.

00:56:14.260 And Michelle, you will be taking over.

00:56:16.260 We'll be back right back.

00:56:17.260 You're watching Law and Crime.

00:56:19.260 Almost 14 of you guys in here.

00:56:20.260 Do me a favor like the video.

00:56:22.260 Let's go hit some chats here because this thing is still going here.

00:56:27.260 Let me find a good part here that we can cover.

00:56:31.260 This is the text messages again.

00:56:33.260 Let's see when they bring in this officer and swear him in.

00:56:40.260 OK, so he's there.

00:56:43.260 OK, he's there still.

00:56:45.260 OK, this is a DNA guy from the day before.

00:56:48.260 We could talk about him a little bit, too, actually.

00:56:50.260 You know what?

00:56:51.260 So let me just have this right here for y'all.

00:56:53.260 Let's read the chats and then I'll go to the DNA guy because he actually brought

00:56:56.260 some pretty interesting stuff, too.

00:56:57.260 We got Jerry Pacheco.

00:56:59.260 Oh, sorry.

00:57:00.260 Read this one earlier with Snowden.

00:57:06.260 OK, I've noticed the texts are SMS.

00:57:09.260 Can they pull up texts like this, even though they're I message and they don't have access

00:57:12.260 to either phones?

00:57:14.260 Yeah, I mean, they have the phones.

00:57:16.260 That's how they're able to get these messages, though.

00:57:18.260 I don't play games.

00:57:19.260 Mine.

00:57:20.260 Did you cover Travis Rudolph case?

00:57:21.260 No, not yet. 0.98

00:57:24.260 In a days goes black women. 1.00

00:57:25.260 You had on the last pod is what a lot of black men want something feminine. 1.00

00:57:29.260 What was your opinion on her?

00:57:30.260 I think you mean the girl that sat next to me.

00:57:33.260 Yeah, she was cool.

00:57:34.260 The girls on the panel yesterday were cool. 0.99

00:57:37.260 Guts goes people like Melly need to be put to rest.

00:57:39.260 They romanticize murder too much and bring nothing but destruction to the community.

00:57:42.260 Yeah, it is what it is.

00:57:44.260 I mean, I don't know if he needs to be put to death, but obviously, if you guys look

00:57:49.260 at the crime scene photos, they they're pretty bad.

00:57:52.260 They're pretty bad.

00:57:53.260 He should be put on the stand so he can dry snitch like all these other rappers.

00:57:56.260 Homie literally made a song that aided to him being a suspect. 0.89

00:57:59.260 Yeah, the murder on my mind. 1.00

00:58:03.260 Damn it, bro. 0.99

00:58:04.260 I literally was looking for this video before it dropped and I was listening to your stuff 0.99

00:58:08.260 yesterday.

00:58:09.260 So I'm here now.

00:58:10.260 W. Vladimir Gaines.

00:58:11.260 I got you, my friend.

00:58:12.260 I got y'all, man.

00:58:13.260 Don't worry.

00:58:14.260 OK, let's go ahead and play this.

00:58:16.260 This is a DNA expert that came in, guys.

00:58:18.260 OK, and testified and something that came out, which I'll talk about a little bit later,

00:58:25.260 was DNA found on the door handle.

00:58:27.260 So let's see if it's covered here and then we'll continue.

00:58:30.260 That was on June 1st.

00:58:31.260 200.

00:58:32.260 Three, approximately three weeks ago.

00:58:34.260 OK.

00:58:35.260 So, Matthew, we heard Terry before saying the reason this could be significant is does it

00:58:49.260 not show what the defense amplified in their opening statement that this was sloppy police

00:58:55.260 work.

00:58:56.260 Remember, their theory was they targeted YNW Mellie because he's famous and maybe they

00:59:01.260 rushed to judgment and not all the avenues were checked and not all the I's were dotted

00:59:06.260 or T's were crossed.

00:59:07.260 I always get that mixed up.

00:59:08.260 Sometimes I messed that up, but I got that right there.

00:59:10.260 But you know what I'm saying?

00:59:11.260 Maybe is that what this is a sign of?

00:59:13.260 Well, yeah, you know, I'm not sure what this does for the prosecution's case other than, you

00:59:20.260 know, make the water a little murky here.

00:59:24.260 I mean, you know, why even bring it up?

00:59:29.260 You have video of Mellie getting into the vehicle.

00:59:35.260 What do you need to have DNA or some test done while the trial show that his DNA is there

00:59:44.260 on the door handle?

00:59:45.260 All that that does is muddy the water.

00:59:48.260 It gives jurors some pause.

00:59:50.260 You know, why wasn't this done earlier?

00:59:52.260 You know, why take this up so late in this process?

00:59:57.260 And it does point to shoddy police work, which is something that if I were a defense attorney

01:00:04.260 that I would pound away at.

01:00:06.260 And this gives me fodder to do that.

01:00:08.260 And the prosecution brought it up itself.

01:00:11.260 It doesn't add anything significant to the prosecution's case, but it opens the door to

01:00:18.260 the defense to pound away at this shoddy police work.

01:00:22.260 Yeah, and I think there's something to that in a way, you know, and I think that's what's

01:00:26.260 a little bit concerning.

01:00:28.260 And we know the defense has honed in on this.

01:00:31.260 They brought up an argument, I think it was yesterday, where they said that you couldn't,

01:00:35.260 and the judge, I think, agreed, you know, there was an issue.

01:00:38.260 First, there was a discovery violation that the prosecution engaged in, and the judge

01:00:42.260 was not too happy about that.

01:00:43.260 Okay, real quick.

01:00:44.260 Just so let's bring this up.

01:00:45.260 So, yes, guys, there was a discovery violation.

01:00:48.260 I want to say it was either yesterday or the day before.

01:00:51.260 It ended up happening, guys.

01:00:52.260 So let me explain what discovery is.

01:00:54.260 Discovery, guys, is the process where the prosecutor gives the defense all of the evidence,

01:01:00.260 all of the information on the case on their client, on the defense's client, right?

01:01:05.260 And the reason for this is so that both parties have access to the evidence and are able to argue

01:01:10.260 their points, whether it's the prosecution arguing this evidence ties to the individual, too,

01:01:13.260 and the defense defends against the arguments that says, well, you know, there's plausible

01:01:17.260 deniability here.

01:01:18.260 It wasn't really my client that did X, Y, Z, blah, blah.

01:01:20.260 But the point is, is that both parties need to have the discovery.

01:01:23.260 The prosecutor didn't have portions of her case put together for the defense and tried 0.99

01:01:30.260 to bring it out during the trial.

01:01:31.260 And the judge didn't like that and then sanctioned her for it. 0.99

01:01:34.260 What does that mean?

01:01:35.260 Some of that evidence didn't come in.

01:01:36.260 Okay.

01:01:37.260 And he got a little frustrated with her and told her, hey, does she have everything

01:01:40.260 that you have?

01:01:41.260 Oh, yeah, she has some of the paper.

01:01:42.260 No. 1.00

01:01:43.260 Go get the shit. 1.00

01:01:44.260 Go print it, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

01:01:45.260 She made a recess for that so she could go print out all the printouts and give it to

01:01:50.260 the defense.

01:01:51.260 And obviously, that makes the prosecutor look bad, not prepared, et cetera.

01:01:55.260 So that didn't look too good.

01:01:58.260 But she did get the stuff in.

01:02:00.260 They ended up sanctioning her and not using some of the stuff. 0.98

01:02:02.260 Does that mean that, oh, she's going to get fired? 0.99

01:02:04.260 She's going to get in trouble? 0.99

01:02:05.260 No.

01:02:06.260 It just means the evidence doesn't come in.

01:02:07.260 The jury wasn't there.

01:02:08.260 But when it comes to discovery, it's a very important process, guys.

01:02:12.260 And if you mess it up, right, from a more egregious fashion, like not turning over everything,

01:02:18.260 then it could be a problem pre-trial. 0.88

01:02:19.260 But yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, for them to have a trial and, you know, it's been damn

01:02:25.260 near five years that Millie's been in and they don't have all their ducks in a row, et 0.56

01:02:28.260 cetera, it's not good.

01:02:30.260 And you could tell that the prosecutor, I'm actually surprised.

01:02:33.260 She's pretty much there by herself.

01:02:35.260 I haven't seen her with another prosecutor.

01:02:36.260 Normally, with a case this big, you would want two or three prosecutors on the case.

01:02:40.260 It looks like there's only one, which is strange to me.

01:02:42.260 Meanwhile, you look at the Mellie's table.

01:02:44.260 He has three defense attorneys.

01:02:45.260 He has the female, the white guy and that black male all on his defense team.

01:02:50.260 And the prosecutor is pretty much by herself.

01:02:52.260 I see like someone next to her. 0.90

01:02:53.260 Maybe that's like a legal aid or some shit like that. 0.82

01:02:55.260 But I doubt that's a prosecutor. 0.96

01:02:58.260 That's all she has.

01:02:59.260 So, yeah, the DA's office is probably like low on people or something.

01:03:04.260 But basically, that's what the discovery issue was.

01:03:07.260 There were some documents that the defense didn't have that came from the testimony from

01:03:11.260 the phone information with that FBI agent that I told y'all about a couple of days ago.

01:03:15.260 And that's what ended up getting having some some discovery problems.

01:03:20.260 But then there was also a question of and that's what it was.

01:03:23.260 Right.

01:03:24.260 It was the question of you can't do a surprise ambush on the defense by bringing in evidence

01:03:30.260 that they didn't see that you retested current evidence for a new result.

01:03:34.260 And and the judge said at one point there was a discovery violation.

01:03:37.260 What do you think of that?

01:03:38.260 Well, yeah, the judge, you know, ruled that you can't surprise the other side by evidence

01:03:47.260 that you've just unearthed you.

01:03:50.260 You know, he said clearly you can continue to investigate a case.

01:03:54.260 And if you find exculpatory evidence, you can you have to turn that over to the defense.

01:04:01.260 And it could change, you know, your your view of prosecuting this case.

01:04:06.260 But if you find inculpatory evidence that, you know, you discovered after the trial,

01:04:13.260 after the discovery has been been been completed and the trial has begun.

01:04:18.260 You know, you can't use that even if it's if it is, you know, it impacts the case.

01:04:24.260 You can't use it because you can't surprise the other side. 0.81

01:04:27.260 You can't surprise the defense. You can't ambush them by bringing up evidence

01:04:32.260 that they've never had any chance to look into themselves.

01:04:35.260 And the judge was adamant about that.

01:04:37.260 Yep. Yeah, that's a big discovery violation.

01:04:39.260 Anything that you're going to use for evidentiary purposes,

01:04:42.260 the defense needs to have as well.

01:04:44.260 They need to have a mirror image of everything you have.

01:04:46.260 That's a good point. Let's take a break.

01:04:48.260 When we come back, we're going to see what is happening in court.

01:04:51.260 And if we're not back live, we saw that so much more to talk about in the YNW Mellie record trial.

01:04:56.260 We'll be back.

01:05:03.260 Okay. Okay. Just a second.

01:05:07.260 How about in the state of Florida?

01:05:11.260 Do you know?

01:05:13.260 I don't know.

01:05:14.260 I'm sure there's other experts in the state of Florida.

01:05:17.260 Is that correct, madam?

01:05:18.260 Yes, sir.

01:05:19.260 So I'm going to come in here.

01:05:21.260 I want to take some testimony from the outside.

01:05:23.260 The jury just to verify all of this.

01:05:25.260 So this is Bradley.

01:05:27.260 I want to take you tomorrow.

01:05:29.260 Detective Polo, how are you so employed?

01:05:32.260 With the Bradford County Sheriff's Office.

01:05:34.260 How long have you worked in the Bradford County Sheriff's Office?

01:05:36.260 Since 2015.

01:05:38.260 Okay, so now they're introducing this detective that I told you about that has the mask on

01:05:45.260 or whatever.

01:05:46.260 So she's asking about his professional background.

01:05:48.260 How long have you been assigned to the Strategic Investigations Division?

01:05:55.260 Since March of 2018.

01:05:57.260 In your time in Strategic Investigations Division, or SAD, have you worked undercover operations?

01:06:05.260 Since that time and before.

01:06:07.260 And the undercover operations that you work, what type are they?

01:06:12.260 The majority of them are narcotics.

01:06:15.260 I ain't going to lie to you guys.

01:06:16.260 This is, yeah, he's talking about narcotics and firearms.

01:06:19.260 This is not common that you see an undercover, you know, law enforcement officer testifying

01:06:26.260 in court with a mask on.

01:06:27.260 That means that he's probably still very active.

01:06:29.260 And from what I understand, he was like greenlit by some gang members.

01:06:32.260 Firearms, violent crimes, gang-related investigations.

01:06:37.260 How many years did you spend specifically in the gang and organized crime section of the Strategic Investigations Division?

01:06:46.260 From March of 2018 until three weeks ago.

01:06:51.260 Have there been credible threats on your life?

01:06:54.260 Yes.

01:06:55.260 Is there currently a credible threat on your life?

01:06:59.260 Yes.

01:07:00.260 In terms of the...

01:07:03.260 So he basically got greenlit by somebody, which is why he's testifying in court right

01:07:07.260 now with a mask on.

01:07:09.260 And they...

01:07:10.260 It looks like he was up in the gang unit until three weeks ago.

01:07:12.260 They pulled him out, probably for his own safety.

01:07:14.260 The money assigned to the death of you that has been offered up?

01:07:20.260 Approximately $50,000.

01:07:22.260 In terms of your safety and security, why do you wear a mask for that post-reason?

01:07:29.260 To protect my family.

01:07:31.260 So, I'm now walking around Broward County, Palm Beach County, Dick County anywhere, and get ambushed by someone that might be looking for me.

01:07:41.260 We've done cell phone warrants on multiple people in Broward County involved in the investigation work at the threat.

01:07:48.260 And outside of that investigation, there's photographs of deputies being sent around, people trying to figure out who I am and what I look like.

01:07:57.260 And that's kind of a concern for me.

01:08:01.260 I will say this, that it's a little strange to me that they had to bring him in as a subject matter expert to talk about gangs.

01:08:07.260 I mean, you know, normally, whenever you have a subject matter expert, you bring them in to kind of like explain things, right?

01:08:16.260 So, for example, they asked me to do this before, be a subject matter expert on like human smuggling investigation.

01:08:20.260 So, like anytime there's a human smuggling case or whatever it may be, I would come in and I would testify and I would explain how it works, how, you know, organizations work with taking money, how people are moved, how much it costs, the whole, the entire process.

01:08:32.260 I've explained how human smuggling works on this channel before.

01:08:35.260 I don't want to beat you guys with boredom unless you guys want me to specifically cover it again.

01:08:39.260 But you typically have subject matter experts in different disciplines, whether it's a computer forensic agent that comes in and testifies as to how they've got retrieved evidence from a device or, you know, someone who talks about human smuggling, someone who talks about human trafficking, someone who talks about drug trafficking, whatever it may be.

01:08:56.200 So, I think it's a little weird that they would bring in a guy like this who's kind of pretty much under damn near land low, right?

01:09:02.840 Protective custody almost.

01:09:04.720 Well, not protective custody because obviously law enforcement officer, so he's not in custody.

01:09:08.180 But he's under, you know, he's obviously moving differently.

01:09:11.580 It's strange that they would bring him in as a subject matter expert to talk about this knowing that he's green lit.

01:09:16.840 But, I mean, I guess he's probably the best at it.

01:09:19.280 So, they said, hey, I want the best person in the county.

01:09:21.060 But, I mean, they could have easily grabbed someone from another agency to talk about this, right?

01:09:26.780 Whether it was, you know, maybe someone from the FBI, someone from Homeland.

01:09:30.620 I mean, we had a gang unit when I was an agent, right?

01:09:32.760 You could have easily brought someone from over there to talk about this stuff.

01:09:35.640 So, it is a little weird that they're bringing this guy in in particular.

01:09:38.320 But maybe it's because he has intimate knowledge of the G-Shine bloods. 1.00

01:09:42.000 That might be why, which you could see when we were going through the text messages before that he did have some intimate knowledge of them.

01:09:48.460 But it's, like, kind of a stretch to bring a guy like this that's pretty much wanted dead in Broward County to testify.

01:09:53.980 So, person, I'd probably just write it off.

01:09:58.000 But, you know, after five or six cell phones got downloaded and there was pictures of many deputies being sent around saying,

01:10:09.620 this is Danny Polo.

01:10:11.160 I'm like, okay, these guys are actually looking for me.

01:10:13.160 And so, Detective Polo, with regards to the prior times you testified in court,

01:10:20.660 did you testify earlier this month before the Honorable Judge Martin Fine?

01:10:24.540 Yes.

01:10:25.020 How were you retired?

01:10:26.780 I believe I was right in this suit, probably.

01:10:29.700 And in terms of your face, how was that in time?

01:10:32.140 The same answer.

01:10:33.320 Have you testified before the Honorable Judge Michael Uson in this courthouse?

01:10:37.680 Yes.

01:10:37.940 Was that in or around February and March of this year, trouble injury?

01:10:42.660 Yes.

01:10:43.420 And what case was that on?

01:10:45.300 That was the XXX Tentacion case.

01:10:47.860 And that was the death of that individual?

01:10:50.320 Yes.

01:10:50.740 How many times did you testify in that case?

01:10:55.100 It was twice.

01:10:56.200 How were you retired when you testified then?

01:10:59.260 Different suit, same last.

01:11:00.520 And in terms of during that particular testimony,

01:11:05.080 were individuals trying to call your cell phone

01:11:07.560 and get in contact with you during the actual testimony?

01:11:11.860 Yeah, that happened.

01:11:13.740 And was this testimony life-changed as long?

01:11:16.040 It was life-changed.

01:11:17.160 Yeah.

01:11:17.980 Thank you, John.

01:11:19.600 Any questions?

01:11:20.800 Yes.

01:11:21.320 On this issue, go ahead.

01:11:22.340 Yes.

01:11:24.580 What time did you get to the courthouse today and sit outside?

01:11:30.520 Just after my call.

01:11:31.860 And were you wearing that mask?

01:11:34.060 No, sir.

01:11:34.740 In fact, you've been sitting out there for at least an hour unmasked

01:11:38.880 as people were walking in and out, correct?

01:11:41.680 Correct.

01:11:50.300 Are you the only expert in dealing with gangs in DSO?

01:11:57.580 I believe I'm the only one that's testified as an expert

01:12:00.140 at the Brewer Sheriff's Office currently.

01:12:06.260 All right.

01:12:06.820 So he has experience testifying.

01:12:09.060 That's another reason why.

01:12:12.780 How about in the state of Florida?

01:12:16.520 Do you know?

01:12:18.580 I'm sure there's other experts in the state of Florida.

01:12:21.500 And for the last hour, you've been right outside this courtroom

01:12:29.800 where the doors are, correct?

01:12:33.900 Yes.

01:12:35.340 Unmasked.

01:12:36.220 Yes.

01:12:37.000 As people in this group, including myself, were walking in and out, correct?

01:12:42.740 Yes, ma'am.

01:12:43.200 So if you guys can see here, the defense, you know,

01:12:58.300 they're just beating him up a little bit.

01:12:59.580 They're trying to attack his credibility.

01:13:01.240 You know what I mean?

01:13:03.180 Right?

01:13:03.560 And this is what defense attorneys do. 0.99

01:13:04.900 They kind of grill you and try to make you feel uncomfortable.

01:13:07.140 So I'm trying to get a rise out of the guy who's saying this.

01:13:09.620 Like, oh, you didn't have a mask on earlier.

01:13:10.960 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:13:12.040 I'm a champion.

01:13:14.460 I'm not very close.

01:13:16.620 Thank you.

01:13:17.880 So, uh, detective or detective, I'm sorry.

01:13:21.160 What's your name?

01:13:21.840 The detective, that'd be.

01:13:23.780 Uh, regarding, uh, you're telling me that, uh, there is,

01:13:29.080 you have fear for your state.

01:13:31.500 By the way, guys, we got 1,300 L in here, man.

01:13:33.700 Do me a favor.

01:13:34.380 Like the video, man.

01:13:35.060 Let's get to 1,000 likes, please, so that we can, uh,

01:13:38.060 get this video out to the masses.

01:13:41.000 For my safety, even more for the safety of my family.

01:13:44.140 And that's if you're, um, faced with broadcast.

01:13:47.100 Yes, sir.

01:13:48.540 And you're indicating now that there's intelligence from BSO

01:13:52.160 that there's some type of, uh, boundary or price on your,

01:13:55.300 on your life.

01:13:57.160 I intercepted it on a, uh, court-authorized wire attack

01:14:00.680 through the state of, uh, through Brown County.

01:14:03.340 It was, uh, wire authorized by Judge Siegel, um,

01:14:06.840 who began the investigation.

01:14:08.680 During that, uh, investigation,

01:14:11.660 there was, uh, conversation about placing a bounty on my head,

01:14:17.340 uh, upwards of $50,000.

01:14:18.780 Okay, there we go.

01:14:20.520 So, there we go.

01:14:21.900 So, basically, what happened was the state was, uh,

01:14:24.640 wiretapping phones, right?

01:14:26.220 They had a, he said, a court-authorized intercept.

01:14:28.260 But that, that's a fancy way of saying a Title III

01:14:30.120 or a wire, like a, uh, tapping phones, right?

01:14:33.300 Listening to people's phone, phone calls.

01:14:35.080 And during the course of those conversations,

01:14:36.920 that's when they heard the credible threat 0.91

01:14:38.700 that they wanted to kill him, right?

01:14:41.900 And he probably was working as an undercover capacity

01:14:44.480 within the organization.

01:14:45.760 So, that's why he's in a situation that he's in now,

01:14:48.880 because they heard it over T3.

01:14:50.220 So, now it makes sense.

01:14:51.740 And since then, we've, uh, as I stated before,

01:14:57.060 recovered several cell phones.

01:14:58.900 We've had investigation, other narcotics investigations,

01:15:01.900 firearms investigations, um,

01:15:03.900 in an investigation in South Carolina

01:15:05.600 that sites Broward, where photographs of deputies

01:15:10.960 were sent with my name attached to it.

01:15:16.420 People trying to figure out who I am, what I look like.

01:15:21.480 Thank you, sir.

01:15:22.540 Thank you, sir.

01:15:23.520 Can you step down, please?

01:15:24.720 We're outside.

01:15:25.580 That's true.

01:15:26.040 Shh.

01:15:27.040 Shh.

01:15:27.100 Shh.

01:15:27.300 Shh.

01:15:27.680 Shh.

01:15:27.700 Shh.

01:15:27.760 Shh.

01:15:27.800 Shh.

01:15:27.840 Shh.

01:15:28.300 Shh.

01:15:28.800 Shh.

01:15:29.300 Shh.

01:15:29.800 Shh.

01:15:30.300 Shh.

01:15:30.800 Shh.

01:15:31.300 Shh.

01:15:31.800 Shh.

01:15:32.300 All right.

01:15:39.240 We'll fast forward a bit here.

01:15:41.160 Hey, guys, get your questions in.

01:15:42.420 I'll be on stream for a little bit longer.

01:15:44.900 Uh, and then, because it looks like right now I'm looking,

01:15:48.300 it doesn't look like they're, um, the trial's still going on anymore.

01:15:52.580 Either it's a super long recess or they might've cut it for the day.

01:15:55.200 I mean, it is 5 p.m., so they might've cut it.

01:15:57.760 So let's go ahead and move forward.

01:15:59.320 Extraction method or maybe a quantitation method.

01:16:02.600 So the laboratory will then provide a, uh, a test.

01:16:07.660 Okay, so this is a DNA analyst here, guys, that analyzed the vehicle, um, and just so you

01:16:13.980 guys know, when they analyzed the vehicle the first time, they didn't find Melly's DNA

01:16:19.000 anywhere.

01:16:19.400 Then when they did, uh, went through it a second time, uh, earlier this month, right, right

01:16:23.920 before trial, they found Melly's DNA on the door handle.

01:16:27.340 So obviously that's going to go ahead and make the prosecution look pretty bad because

01:16:31.720 it looks like, oh, y'all were fishing, blah, blah, blah.

01:16:34.120 How come the DNA wasn't shown the first time and I was being shown this time as you get

01:16:37.820 closer to the trial.

01:16:38.800 So that's never a good look, even if it is legit, right?

01:16:41.460 Um, but, uh, but yeah.

01:16:44.640 That the analyst would, uh, conduct, they would, uh, process this test and return results

01:16:52.820 to, uh, the agency to see if the results that they've gotten were appropriate for what

01:16:58.880 this year.

01:16:59.760 And do you have to pass these competency tests or examinations before moving on to the

01:17:03.800 next test?

01:17:05.380 The competency tests are done to ensure that you are competent in the technology that is

01:17:11.600 going to be employed in KISHW.

01:17:13.220 So once you pass that initial testing, is there additional yearly or biannual proficiency

01:17:20.900 testing then?

01:17:21.900 As a DNA analyst, I have a prior to do two proficiency tests per year.

01:17:27.900 In my laboratory, the, uh, the, the agency will purchase proficiency tests from a provider,

01:17:38.680 I process them, generate, generate my results, my answers, and those are then sent back to

01:17:44.360 the providers, uh, to ensure that I'm getting the correct answers.

01:17:47.360 Are those done in-house in terms of the scoring and completion of that proficiency test in KISHW?

01:17:55.040 Uh, it's, I process it in-house, it's reviewed, and then it's sent back to the test court.

01:18:02.720 Does the proficiency test require and include statistical imperfections?

01:18:06.400 Does it?

01:18:08.400 And is it, you, has the statistical imperfections changed as though I didn't do any of the

01:18:16.080 things in the DNA every last time, uh, ruling from the court and helping to do this witness?

01:18:20.480 Good.

01:18:21.480 All right, so let me hit some of these chats real quick.

01:18:23.440 Uh, 3Diglas goes, I'm late on this case, but there's a mugshot of the lady that is defending 1.00

01:18:27.080 the kid who had murder on his mind.

01:18:28.680 It's on the internet.

01:18:29.240 You think that makes things worse for him?

01:18:30.920 It doesn't, or it doesn't matter.

01:18:32.280 There's a mugshot of the lady that is defending the kid who had murder on his mind?

01:18:36.040 3Diglas, I'm not too sure what you mean by that question.

01:18:38.120 I'm confused.

01:18:38.680 Uh, FedRax ever going to be on Rumble?

01:18:40.760 WFedGang?

01:18:41.640 Uh, maybe, man.

01:18:42.760 Maybe, uh, I might, yeah, I might have to bring some of FedRax over to Rumble because there are

01:18:47.400 some, like, violent things and stuff like that that I don't show y'all,

01:18:49.640 especially, like, the shooting reactions, so that might have to come.

01:18:54.280 So check this out, guys.

01:18:55.320 This video right here, right, and this is the, from the channel, as y'all can see, 0.99

01:18:58.360 they still have this, uh, this shit going on. 0.92

01:19:01.240 It's still not showing, so that tells me that they might be done for the day with this. 0.99

01:19:05.640 Sorry about that, my bad.

01:19:18.360 I accidentally went the wrong way, hit the wrong button.

01:19:20.760 Sorry about that, uh, uh, so you go back here, uh, we're gonna go

01:19:27.560 get me a Glock ASAP.

01:19:28.680 YNW Mellie allegedly asked mom, right?

01:19:31.240 So hold on, let me share the screen real quick with y'all.

01:19:37.960 Boom.

01:19:38.840 Okay, right here.

01:19:40.760 Give me a Glock ASAP.

01:19:44.840 Including, and then there are text messages and conversations

01:19:48.360 that are done at or about the time of the murder,

01:19:52.280 including conversations with the defendant's mother.

01:19:55.880 So for example,

01:20:00.280 I'll show your honor now what has been

01:20:04.520 extracted from that same cell phone.

01:20:09.640 And this is also information that predates the murder.

01:20:13.240 So there's no reason or motive to lie or anything at that point,

01:20:16.920 because at this point, the victims are still alive.

01:20:19.640 And so we also then have the defendant's conversations

01:20:25.640 before and after, which show the same pattern of speech, the same...

01:20:30.360 As you guys know, you remember, this is the prosecutor on the case.

01:20:32.600 ...way he's communicating on these, which show that he is the individual that had

01:20:37.880 care custody and control of that phone at the time.

01:20:41.960 So I'm going to start, and I appreciate the result on this one.

01:20:46.520 And this is from a phone number that is identified as...

01:20:51.800 You know, before we continue, I respectfully suggest that we take...

01:20:58.680 This is the defense attorney talking.

01:21:00.200 You know, of course, he's going to get in here and try to...

01:21:02.760 You know what I mean?

01:21:03.560 This is what good lawyers do.

01:21:04.600 They object to everything.

01:21:05.480 They question everything.

01:21:06.760 They try to impede everything.

01:21:08.440 This is what they do, you know?

01:21:09.560 My retort to their argument is easy, so that we don't lose the significance of each.

01:21:16.280 Thank you.

01:21:17.320 She's going to... 0.97

01:21:18.040 Councilor's going to proceed with her... 0.81

01:21:21.240 Okay.

01:21:21.800 ...argument.

01:21:22.280 And then you'll get a chance to speak.

01:21:25.000 Thank you.

01:21:25.880 So we have...

01:21:26.840 This is prior to the homicide.

01:21:29.480 This is going to be August 30th of 2018.

01:21:32.600 The phone number...

01:21:33.560 So this is about two months before the murder. 0.93

01:21:37.880 172-501-6942 that's fed to a crazy lady. 1.00

01:21:44.040 Again, we'll get into why it's a B shortly, but... 0.84

01:21:47.160 And you guys, as you guys know, the reason why it's brazy lady instead of crazy lady is because

01:21:51.080 blood gang members don't like to use the letter C.

01:21:53.640 The next witness in this case...

01:21:56.600 This is prior to them bringing that detective on.

01:21:58.040 See how she's alluding to it?

01:21:59.000 Hey, we're going to bring the next witness on.

01:22:00.360 That's going to be the gang expert.

01:22:02.280 This is the defendant's mother.

01:22:04.360 This is Jamie King.

01:22:05.480 Because if you go to state 63 on the subscriber records, that was the other phone number that

01:22:11.640 is subscribed to Ms. Jamie King at that time.

01:22:14.440 Okay.

01:22:14.760 So 3Diglas clarifies, and my bad.

01:22:16.520 I meant to say there's a mugshot YW Mellie's lawyer going around on the internet.

01:22:19.720 Do you think that will make things worse for YW or things like that don't matter in this case?

01:22:23.560 It won't matter.

01:22:24.760 I mean, it could always somewhat hurt the public perception, but if the jury's doing what they're

01:22:29.160 supposed to, they shouldn't be watching the news or watching anything on this case.

01:22:31.880 The only thing that they should be getting information on, guys, is the trial, nothing

01:22:35.880 else.

01:22:36.760 It probably will do little to nothing to affect the case.

01:22:39.640 I mean, people always complain, oh, how did OJ get off?

01:22:42.680 How did OJ get off?

01:22:43.560 Like, we all knew he was guilty.

01:22:45.160 People need to remember that during the OJ trial, the jury members didn't watch the news.

01:22:51.320 They were forbidden from watching the news, guys.

01:22:53.080 They couldn't look at any outside media coverage on the case.

01:22:56.200 They only can see what was displayed in court.

01:22:59.240 So, remember, the jury isn't there when they're fighting back and forth about discovery or this

01:23:03.560 is going to come in, this is going to come in, blah, blah, blah.

01:23:05.160 The judge kicks them out and then lets the lawyers argue.

01:23:07.480 Then they bring them in to see the evidence.

01:23:09.240 So, what the jury sees, guys, is a very skewed, right, version of what all of us are seeing

01:23:16.200 right now.

01:23:16.680 Like, hell, all of you guys watching this podcast right now have more knowledge probably than

01:23:21.000 the jury does in this investigation because they're specifically instructed to not watch

01:23:25.640 anything pertaining to the Mellie trial outside of what they see in the courtroom.

01:23:32.040 So, you know, enforcing that's a whole other thing, but typically they're not supposed to.

01:23:37.160 So, that's why it probably will make little to no difference in the actual investigation

01:23:42.360 because they can only use what was the evidence used during the trial to formulate their conclusions.

01:23:51.240 And that's why OJ got off, man.

01:23:53.560 His lawyers did a really good job of steering the evidence in a way where the jury was like,

01:23:57.560 okay, there's reasonable doubt here, despite the fact that the general public was watching

01:24:00.840 news coverage, saw all this other evidence, right, that didn't come into trial and thought,

01:24:06.040 man, OJ did it.

01:24:07.080 But if you're a juror back then, you're like, yo, I only had this stuff to go off of.

01:24:12.280 It's not enough for me to say he's guilty.

01:24:14.680 And that's how he got off.

01:24:16.040 They created reasonable doubt.

01:24:17.160 Additionally, defense counsel provided Jamie King's records to the state to show that that

01:24:23.160 is her phone number and represented as such.

01:24:27.080 So, this is discussions and where he is calling her mom about and talking about the argument and

01:24:33.960 the fight between the defendant, Sack Chaser, and as he's referred to at this bottom message,

01:24:41.800 where she is talking to Mr. Demons about that person, showing that it is not Sack that is on

01:24:48.600 the other end of this line or this particular phone call.

01:24:54.760 Moving on.

01:24:56.120 And then we also have...

01:24:57.960 That's also another speculation for why Mellie killed Sack Chaser.

01:25:01.400 It was because there was beef between Sack Chaser and Mellie's mom. 0.99

01:25:05.080 There was like some kind of disagreement.

01:25:06.520 There's a bunch of rumors because one of the biggest things in this trial is like,

01:25:09.720 well, why would Mellie kill his two best friends?

01:25:11.960 And, you know, there's theories and stuff like that.

01:25:13.800 There's one about, like I told y'all before, with Sack Chaser.

01:25:15.960 And then the other one is that they were standing to make some money,

01:25:20.680 right, from, I think, selling the YNW copyright or trademark.

01:25:26.040 And he would have had to pay them a couple hundred thousand dollars.

01:25:30.840 And he didn't want to do that. 0.52

01:25:31.880 So he had them killed so that he would get a bigger lump of the money.

01:25:34.360 So that's another theory as to why he killed them.

01:25:37.400 But it's not clear cut yet why they're where the motive is.

01:25:40.200 We're in discussion. This is still August 30th and talking about how,

01:25:48.120 I don't know what all going on.

01:25:49.400 He's talking, making a live video talking about your mother.

01:25:52.360 It's going to make people hate you.

01:25:53.560 That's why I have never and would never do that.

01:25:55.720 I love you.

01:25:56.840 And that's your best friend.

01:25:58.600 This is not for social media.

01:26:00.280 I'm sorry, hold on one second.

01:26:02.440 Are you sure?

01:26:04.600 Can you repeat that, please?

01:26:05.880 Of course.

01:26:06.680 Just press.

01:26:07.640 Sure.

01:26:08.440 So if you go through this whole conversation here, starting with,

01:26:15.320 how is his sister going on social media talking about punching me and face my fault 1.00

01:26:22.360 from the individual that's been identified as Jamie King by the phone records,

01:26:27.000 by the subscriber records that are in evidence already.

01:26:31.000 Then going on to reply is you started it by texting his mama.

01:26:35.160 It's going to be problems and not even knowing what you're talking about. 1.00

01:26:38.920 You a grown ass lady doing childish shit. 1.00

01:26:42.520 Ain't nobody tell you to text her. 1.00

01:26:44.520 She minding her business going to work.

01:26:48.120 Yeah.

01:26:48.440 So this is hilarious.

01:26:49.240 They're just going back and forth on, uh,

01:26:51.160 you can see her and sex chase are arguing here. 0.73

01:26:54.680 You effing with her. 1.00

01:26:57.000 The response then she could have called me or texted me back,

01:27:01.720 not have you or daughter all on social media talking about fighting me.

01:27:06.280 Like I cussed at her. 0.60

01:27:07.400 I didn't even say one cuss word when I texted her.

01:27:10.440 I said nothing disrespectful and you know it.

01:27:13.080 I wish you took up for me like that.

01:27:15.240 When aunt cussed me out and tried to fight me again, 0.98

01:27:19.080 this is talking about Anthony Williams on that.

01:27:22.280 So like I said before the next message on August 30th,

01:27:26.680 I don't know what's all going on.

01:27:28.360 He's talking about making a live video talking about your mother.

01:27:31.560 It's going to make people teach you.

01:27:33.560 That's why I have never and would never do that because I love you.

01:27:37.720 And that's your best friend.

01:27:39.000 This is not for social media.

01:27:41.560 So continuing on next page.

01:27:44.920 Hey guys, 50 more likes.

01:27:46.120 We'll hit 1k likes.

01:27:47.080 Do me a favor. 1.00

01:27:47.640 Like the goddamn video. 1.00

01:27:48.680 All right. 1.00

01:27:48.920 We got 1400 y'all in here.

01:27:50.280 Like the video.

01:27:56.840 In this particular page,

01:27:58.600 this is again referring to the social media conversations on that with regards to Anthony

01:28:05.960 Williams and the defendant's mother.

01:28:10.200 So for here, no, I'm not your actions.

01:28:13.480 I take up for you.

01:28:14.360 I have.

01:28:14.760 And for those of you just joining, this is Mellie's mom talking to Sack Chaser.

01:28:19.240 For some of you guys that might not know, one of the theories as to why Mellie killed his friends

01:28:23.320 was because of the beef that Sack Chaser, who was the guy in the front seat, by the way,

01:28:26.840 the darker individual, why Mellie killed his friends.

01:28:31.880 And this argument between Sack Chaser and Mellie's mom, shown here through text actually,

01:28:37.640 brazy lady, might add some credence to that theory. 1.00

01:28:41.960 People telling me your son doesn't care about you. 0.96

01:28:46.040 That Jamel Damon's mother is Jamie King.

01:28:50.120 Here she is identifying that she is speaking to her son in that.

01:28:54.520 So then I want to go then to after the time of the homicide.

01:29:03.880 All right.

01:29:04.120 So now we're fast forwarding post homicide, post murder.

01:29:07.880 So these are conversations were in August of 2018, two months before the murder.

01:29:11.960 In which Jamie King is sending a text message to her son, send me your location.

01:29:23.960 I'm in Stewart.

01:29:24.920 I love you so much.

01:29:27.480 He then sends a return to the location showing at or about the time of the crime as to who was using and doing that.

01:29:35.320 Oh, here we go.

01:29:38.760 Okay.

01:29:40.040 Love you again from Jamie King.

01:29:42.280 I'm at your gate. 0.76

01:29:43.320 I'm going to get the trash.

01:29:45.720 The next response is bring Mariah, which you've already heard testimony that Felicia Holmes, her daughter, Mariah Hamilton, was in a dating relationship with this defendant.

01:29:59.000 And that at this time and that there was conversations and that she has identified Mariah as Mariah Hamilton.

01:30:05.720 Okay.

01:30:06.120 So maybe this, okay.

01:30:07.480 Was this, is this Mellie then?

01:30:09.080 I guess maybe this is Mellie's phone number here.

01:30:12.360 It's confusing because it says, yeah, young sack chaser, Howard.

01:30:15.000 Okay.

01:30:15.880 Then there was, okay.

01:30:17.720 It continues.

01:30:19.720 He then asks his mother to buy him a gloss.

01:30:23.080 Okay.

01:30:23.320 So this is Mellie.

01:30:24.240 All right.

01:30:24.600 My bad about that guys. 0.98

01:30:26.080 Why the fuck does it say sack chaser then? 0.97

01:30:27.680 That's confusing. 0.99

01:30:28.680 Cause that's, sack chaser is one of the people that people that were killed. 0.99

01:30:31.800 ASAP.

01:30:32.440 And telling her, like, go now.

01:30:35.800 So she then responds, okay, what's wrong?

01:30:39.720 She says, I got your 45.

01:30:42.220 Holy.

01:30:44.180 Then his response.

01:30:46.320 I just don't want no illegal gun.

01:30:49.300 Well, that's not illegal.

01:30:53.280 Continuing on.

01:30:54.480 But I'd rather have a Glock 40.

01:30:59.720 Or a 19.

01:31:01.000 She says, okay.

01:31:03.800 His response is, I'll pay you when you get down here.

01:31:07.120 She then says, okay.

01:31:09.860 Then.

01:31:10.560 I object to this.

01:31:12.880 Is she going to read the entire poem?

01:31:15.720 This is not, this does not go to the heart of our objection.

01:31:19.160 Okay.

01:31:19.640 So obviously defense attorney's doing what defense attorneys do best objective, objecting everything.

01:31:23.960 Right.

01:31:24.340 Because, you know, this could be pretty damaging.

01:31:27.940 Right.

01:31:28.400 To, to the defense.

01:31:29.260 So he's objecting here, trying to get the prosecutor off her run here.

01:31:34.440 Being done for the cameras.

01:31:37.040 Counsel.

01:31:37.480 So I asked her to put on a prop of what she anticipated.

01:31:40.860 This is what she's telling me and how it's relevant.

01:31:43.180 Go ahead.

01:31:43.900 Continuing on.

01:31:44.940 There's been discussions about other witnesses.

01:31:47.300 I'm waiting on track to cash at me.

01:31:49.940 Who's track guys?

01:31:51.020 She's referred to track 100.

01:31:52.120 That is Mellie's manager.

01:31:54.080 $1,000.

01:31:54.980 And then she asks, is someone threatening you?

01:31:57.680 To which he replies, no, mom.

01:32:01.980 This is his mother that he's talking to.

01:32:04.280 And he's saying, I'm not scared.

01:32:06.780 Just listen.

01:32:08.600 This is clear proof and evidence that this is Janelle Dimmon's phone because he's speaking with his mother on that one.

01:32:16.360 So on the last one that showed November 3rd, 2018, love you too, ma, ma, and yes, son, on that.

01:32:31.680 Where she is identifying that is the phone that is being used by her son, and that is on the subscriber list.

01:32:39.700 However, that's not the only thing.

01:32:41.400 In addition, the defendant also, in other conversations at or about the time of the homicide, sends a photo of his driver's license to someone to be able to authenticate. 0.99

01:32:55.960 Oh, shit. 1.00

01:32:58.100 Oh, shit. 1.00

01:32:58.860 Oh, shit. 1.00

01:32:59.520 Oh, shit. 1.00

01:33:00.580 And show specific items in terms of going through and setting up a rental. 0.99

01:33:07.800 And even it has so much as puts the address of 805 Northeast 4th Avenue.

01:33:15.900 What's the date of that, counsel?

01:33:17.340 That one is September 28th of 2018.

01:33:21.360 That shows that the defendant has previously been to the studio and knows that.

01:33:26.380 Also talks, and this is a conversation with Adrienne Davis, in which he is using this phone, sending in pictures of his driver's license on this phone.

01:33:35.920 In some of the other pictures and items that your Honor has in front of you, there's pictures of credit cards, front and back, with the defendant's name on them.

01:33:48.020 There are multiple in things that show that this phone was being used by the defendant, Jamel Demons.

01:33:57.640 There is no evidence before, Your Honor, that it was being used at the time of the crime than anyone else.

01:34:04.500 In eviction, the defendant is sitting on camera in possession of a phone as he is leaving the studio on October 26th of 2018.

01:34:16.900 At that point, there's phone in his hand, that phone then tracks, and you can follow on all of the call detail records and all of the mapping that was done put in yesterday to show that this phone goes from the studio and is consistent with the phone of Anthony Williams, which is the other phone that's on there on T-Mobile, and all the way up to the scene of the crime.

01:34:40.920 Yes.

01:34:41.940 Bam.

01:34:43.720 So, you know, prosecutor doing a little bit of cooking right there.

01:34:47.020 You know what I'm saying?

01:34:48.840 We got 1,500 of you guys here right now, so give me a favor.

01:34:52.860 Like the video.

01:34:53.820 Okay, we got 1,000 likes.

01:34:55.640 Let's get up to 1,500 if we can.

01:34:58.180 Here, let's see what else we got.

01:35:02.200 Okay.

01:35:03.160 Let's go back to the Law and Crime Network.

01:35:07.020 Let's get to 1,500 likes, guys.

01:35:08.500 Let's see here.

01:35:11.220 YNW Melly.

01:35:12.800 Okay, so I think this just finally finished.

01:35:14.760 All right, so yeah, so they never ended up coming back, guys.

01:35:18.220 So we saw the testimony from that guy.

01:35:20.500 Let's see what else here we can find.

01:35:24.720 Then you got the Kohlberger trial as well.

01:35:27.780 Well, you know what?

01:35:28.460 Let's see.

01:35:28.800 We'll YNW Portland take the stand.

01:35:30.360 Is a defendant smiling in court a normal thing?

01:35:34.020 In your opinion, is the defendant usually found guilty when showing that type of body language?

01:35:38.500 Well, I think a defendant smiling in court is a normal thing.

01:35:44.520 You have to remember that it's very nerve-wracking, and you automatically have responses that you really cannot control.

01:35:53.000 Also, I just wanted you guys, if you guys notice, he asked for the gun after the murders, okay?

01:35:59.180 This is very important, right?

01:36:01.320 Why would he ask for a gun after the murders?

01:36:03.720 I'm speculating because he got rid of the murder weapon.

01:36:09.160 Because as you guys know in this trial, one of the big things that the prosecution does not have is they don't have the murder weapon, guys, which is important because that would be able to establish, you know, the rounds, when the gun was shot, etc.

01:36:22.800 Or the making caliber, they don't have any of that, okay?

01:36:25.540 So, what I think is after the shooting happened, more than likely, Melly got rid of the weapon, either throwing it away or giving it away to a friend, which is why he needed a replacement gun right after the fact, okay?

01:36:40.600 So, that's purely speculation.

01:36:43.600 Obviously, we can't prove that, but that could be a reason as to why he asked his mom for a gun right after the murder.

01:36:53.160 I think if you see someone smiling and they're fidgeting around, it could just very well be nerves.

01:36:59.640 Now, I will say that in the past, I do think that Melly has been more active and more pronounced.

01:37:07.520 Today, he is very serious.

01:37:09.440 I've seen less smiles and certainly there are no antics going on.

01:37:14.260 And as far as the jury is concerned, the jury does look at the defendant at every move and every motion that that defendant makes because they're trying to make a determination as to whether or not the defendant is guilty or innocent.

01:37:28.900 And so, I think they are looking at him.

01:37:31.960 It doesn't seem to me, because I'm looking at the faces of all these jurors.

01:37:35.820 We have 15 jurors.

01:37:36.980 We have nine women and six men.

01:37:39.060 They actually seem to be paying more attention to the witness.

01:37:42.820 And they think, you know, at least it seems as though they're thinking that whatever it is that's going on on the defense table is something that might be normal.

01:37:50.180 It doesn't seem as though they're using it against him.

01:37:52.340 So, at the end of the day, I don't think that the antics will be used against him.

01:37:56.700 No way to really tell.

01:37:57.740 But right now, he is being very serious.

01:38:01.620 And I think we should point out, in fairness to Mellie, a lot of what we saw during the first week of the trial with the praying and the blowing of kisses and all this stuff, a lot of that happened outside the presence of the jury.

01:38:14.740 It was captured by our camera.

01:38:16.880 But, you know, the jury is not supposed to be watching anything regarding this case.

01:38:21.340 So, told you guys.

01:38:23.060 So, the jury probably won't see this right here, which you guys are about to see right now.

01:38:26.920 At least not during the trial.

01:38:28.720 They shouldn't have seen any of that.

01:38:30.460 All they should see is what's going on right there in front of them in the courtroom.

01:38:34.500 This guy, bro.

01:38:35.520 Next question comes from Miranda O'Gannier from YouTube.

01:38:40.980 Linda Kennybotton, are they going to revisit the evidence of the shots in the car?

01:38:45.560 Because multiple of those bullet holes would have gone through Bortland and Mellie if they was in the car.

01:38:52.140 And that shows that they both got out.

01:38:54.900 Well, that's interesting because I do not know, because I don't have the list, whether the defense has a reconstruction expert, a crime scene reconstruction expert, and whether or not they feel the need to use that or whether or not they feel that they poked enough holes in the cross-examination of the prosecution's expert to say that, indeed, it shows that, you know, only one of them maybe could have gotten out.

01:39:20.420 But, you know, if I were the defense right now, and I'm a big one for putting on the defense case, I—

01:39:27.000 So you guys can see here, look at the bullet holes on the right-hand side of the vehicle, right?

01:39:31.380 However, we know that the victims were shot from the left side of the vehicle, okay?

01:39:37.820 So Mellie was sitting in the back seat right here.

01:39:42.080 One of the victims was sitting here.

01:39:43.920 Another victim was sitting here.

01:39:45.120 And then you had Bortland in the front driver's seat.

01:39:46.800 So the gunshots came from here, from left to right.

01:39:51.140 Not from right to left is how these bullet holes illustrate.

01:39:55.100 So it doesn't make sense.

01:39:57.760 It doesn't drive, which is a big hole in Mellie and Bortland's story.

01:40:02.160 Mellie didn't give a statement to the police, but Bortland did.

01:40:04.120 And Bortland said that they had got shot in a drive-by shooting, which doesn't match with the wounds.

01:40:09.740 I'm not sure I would use a crime scene reconstructionist here.

01:40:12.940 But, again, I'd have to see the reports, and sometimes you just have to live the case.

01:40:18.240 But you see how close attention our viewers are paying?

01:40:21.880 That's the same type of attention and questions in their head the jurors have.

01:40:26.740 We got 1,100 likes, guys.

01:40:27.900 Let's get it up to 1,500, man.

01:40:29.460 We got almost 1,600 of y'all in here.

01:40:30.940 Like the video.

01:40:31.500 Let's get to 1,500 likes.

01:40:33.420 Right now.

01:40:35.500 Most certainly.

01:40:36.280 One thing we should point out, too, that I think is really interesting, and we haven't heard this testimony yet, Linda, but Christine Bradley, the assistant state attorney, said in her opening that the evidence, the medical examiner, is going to testify that Juvie and Sack Chaser were dead when the bullets were fired into the vehicle.

01:40:58.680 That's huge, guys.

01:41:01.000 And they're going to be able to tell this because when the heart isn't beating anymore, you're not going to bleed as profusely.

01:41:05.880 So that's how they knew that when they got shot during this drive-by shooting that they were already dead.

01:41:14.060 The back seat where they claim they were fired from.

01:41:16.500 So that will be some interesting testimony when that comes up.

01:41:20.580 Yeah.

01:41:21.860 Yeah, guys, they're estimating that this trial is going to – for you new viewers that just came in, they're estimating that this trial is going to be done by the end of July, guys.

01:41:27.900 That means that they're going to go for over a month in this trial.

01:41:31.440 So for everyone saying, oh, yo, the prosecutor is sucking it up, bro.

01:41:35.900 She's got a lot of time, bro.

01:41:38.380 So exclamation point from YouTube, Bridget.

01:41:41.380 Ask question.

01:41:42.640 When do you think they will start trying to bring in his music into it, and will it have a big impact on what the jury might think?

01:41:50.940 I got an answer on this, but let's see what these chicks say, and we can give you guys my answer. 1.00

01:41:55.000 I'm not really sure, Bridget, that they're going to go there.

01:41:57.020 Right.

01:41:58.480 I don't think so either.

01:41:59.780 That's an interesting question.

01:42:01.280 I know that sometimes the state will bring in evidence from a defendant's social media, from their music, from their lyrics.

01:42:12.140 He has a song that is called Murder on My Mind.

01:42:16.280 And so I don't know if the state is going to be bringing that in.

01:42:21.380 Right now, it's their job to show that he, in fact, was the killer in this particular situation.

01:42:29.460 And so if I were the prosecution, I would be focusing on the fact that he was in the vehicle at the time he was the person who made the shots that came from within the vehicle.

01:42:40.260 Yeah, and I hate to bring this up again, but in the opening statement, Christine Bradley said something like about music being artistic expression.

01:42:50.160 We won't be getting into that.

01:42:51.640 But she did talk about social media messages.

01:42:54.380 So maybe the prosecutor did say that they weren't going to use the music against them.

01:42:58.960 And normally they don't use music, guys.

01:43:01.260 They only use music if it aligns with what they said.

01:43:04.460 And a lot of times they use the music maybe like in Rico cases, like they use Casanova's lyrics against them.

01:43:08.680 They use YSL's lyrics against them, which if you guys want to break it, you could look at my YSL video where I talk about this in more detail.

01:43:15.960 But in this case where it's Murder, they're not going to use it as much because they got a lot of physical evidence, too.

01:43:21.240 They don't need to.

01:43:21.800 But when it comes to gang stuff, Rico cases, they are going to use the music.

01:43:25.620 And they did it for Bobby Shmurda as well.

01:43:27.080 Now, the reason for that is because they're illustrating that the music in itself is done to increase the status and hierarchy of the gang, which plays into the racketeering statutes a lot of the times.

01:43:38.540 The judge didn't let them go there.

01:43:40.060 And maybe the prosecution is just saying we're not even going to touch it because bringing in rap music lyrics has been a kind of a controversial thing, bringing this stuff into trials across the country.

01:43:50.060 And if you guys notice, it only works when you bring it into Rico slash gang cases because they can use the music as a tool or a piece of evidence to show that the music is being used in furtherance of the criminal and gang activity to intimidate rivals, talk about rivals, brag about rivals, increase their stature.

01:44:09.400 All of this plays into it.

01:44:10.460 So even though you have that First Amendment right to free speech, it absolutely could be used against you, especially within the context of gang investigations.

01:44:18.640 All right. So if you want to be a rapper and you want to talk about your gang, I wouldn't do it.

01:44:23.660 Nope.

01:44:24.440 That's definitely going to be wrong.

01:44:26.900 Terry, let's get a question over to you now.

01:44:29.840 This is from Jessica and from Facebook.

01:44:32.400 Has the prosecutor lost the jury?

01:44:35.100 Yeah. Someone mentioned A.R. Abb in Philly.

01:44:36.800 Yeah, that's a good example.

01:44:39.180 Probably one of the worst self-snitchers I've ever seen, man.

01:44:43.160 And don't worry, guys, I'll do A.R. Abb as well.

01:44:45.120 He probably, I would say, the worst self-snitcher ever.

01:44:48.640 With all of this long testimony.

01:44:53.260 Well, yeah, that's a very good question.

01:44:54.780 I think in the beginning, yes, they had witnesses on the stand who went on and on talking about information that really wasn't relevant,

01:45:03.400 just sort of trying to teach the jury what was going on from an evidentiary standpoint.

01:45:07.420 But now they're putting on witnesses who are fairly quick, getting up and down.

01:45:12.980 And so I think the jury is paying attention to these witnesses because it's not prolonged.

01:45:18.480 Now, across examination, I do think the defense is doing a really nice job at disputing some of the information,

01:45:24.420 making it seem like they didn't go far enough or they're not doing an analysis or they're not the experts.

01:45:30.520 All right, guys, let's get 50 more likes so we can hit 1,200.

01:45:33.020 OK, let's get to 1,200 likes.

01:45:34.500 50 more.

01:45:35.160 Like the video, guys, please.

01:45:37.040 For it to really talk about the data.

01:45:39.540 It's mostly forensic data.

01:45:41.080 And that can be boring, I agree.

01:45:43.720 But I do think this is a very tentative jury and they are paying close attention to everything that's going on on that witness stand.

01:45:51.920 I don't think they're being distracted by anything in that courtroom.

01:45:55.300 They're paying very close attention.

01:45:58.340 All right.

01:45:59.600 Linda, this next question I'll send over to you.

01:46:03.000 It's actually we kind of have two questions put together from two different viewers.

01:46:07.100 Nina Stanek from YouTube, who is from Switzerland.

01:46:09.840 So thanks for tuning in from Switzerland.

01:46:12.320 And Joe Nose from YouTube.

01:46:15.020 Both are asking about Cortland Henry, the co-conspirator who's charged separately in this case and will face trial at a later date in a separate trial.

01:46:24.460 Asked, do you think Cortland will take the stand and snitch on Malley?

01:46:28.940 Is Bortland a state witness in the case?

01:46:31.100 Will he have his own trial?

01:46:32.180 So, yes, he's going to have his own trial.

01:46:33.760 I answered part of that.

01:46:34.640 But, Linda, the rest to you about do you think Cortland will take the stand and will he snitch?

01:46:40.560 That's a question that we just talked about.

01:46:42.840 This is a little bit different, Ben.

01:46:44.400 Thank you, Nina and Joe.

01:46:45.280 Because the question is, will he snitch now?

01:46:49.560 Remember, he could be a witness.

01:46:52.280 But I would imagine that if he gets on the stand and decides to snitch, right, what's the defense going to do?

01:46:58.920 What did you do?

01:46:59.580 You found God when it was decided that you had to have your own trial in your own death penalty case?

01:47:04.600 And just so you guys know, he's also going to be put on trial for this murder as well.

01:47:09.280 He's not looking at the death penalty.

01:47:11.080 And he's been on house arrest all this time.

01:47:13.220 So he's actually been out.

01:47:14.180 Meanwhile, Malley's been in jail.

01:47:16.460 Didn't have bond.

01:47:17.640 Now you want to talk about Y&W, Malley?

01:47:20.560 You didn't say that before.

01:47:21.900 You didn't say that before.

01:47:23.000 You got a deal.

01:47:23.840 And the deal saves your life, not his, doesn't it?

01:47:26.600 And there you go.

01:47:27.540 The defense really has a lot to work with.

01:47:29.980 So my impression is, no, he won't take the stand, even though the prosecution may decide they need him because they're losing the jury.

01:47:39.280 Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't think Portland's going to be taking the stand.

01:47:48.000 I just don't, I think it's too risky for the prosecution.

01:47:50.660 Plus they, they, he's accused of murder.

01:47:53.180 I just don't think it's going to happen.

01:47:54.720 Uh, TT by three from Instagram.

01:47:56.680 Can someone explain the car stealing or car ceiling situation?

01:48:01.380 Was it Malley in the, um, I think if, if the prosecution doesn't feel like they approved their case, they're going to put him on the stand a hundred percent.

01:48:10.280 So, um, I think that's kind of the, the, their, um, their X factor, you know, their ACE, their ACE in the hole is they have him ready to testify.

01:48:19.240 They're trying not to use him, obviously, because they don't want it to be attacked.

01:48:23.020 Just like that woman had said, Oh, you got a deal.

01:48:25.120 Oh, you're, um, you're only testifying so that you don't go to prison for life or whatever it may be.

01:48:31.220 So I think the prosecution is trying to not use Portland if they can avoid it.

01:48:35.280 But I think if push comes to shove and they don't think that they made the strongest case that they can make, and they're not sure where the jury stands, they will absolutely put him on the stand and have him testify against Malley.

01:48:44.600 Rear drivers, Portland in the rear, because even though, right, they always say, Oh, well, you know, one crook's testimony isn't enough to put another crook in jail.

01:48:53.480 That's true.

01:48:54.020 However, if Portland gets on the stand and says, okay, I was driving and Malley shot them and, you know, I heard the gunshots, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

01:49:02.840 Even though Portland is looked at as a liar, because remember, he's the one that made this whole fucking drive by shooting up bullshit in the first place. 0.98

01:49:09.500 Even though he's a liar, the thing that's going to save him and make him credible is that his testimony against Malley will be substantiated and most importantly corroborated by the physical evidence. 0.99

01:49:21.120 It's going to show the wound patterns match up. It's going to show they stopped at this rural area to shoot into the car. 0.89

01:49:27.000 It's going to show that he left Malley and went to the Memorial Hospital to go ahead and drop the bodies off.

01:49:32.400 And Malley was there, you know, FaceTiming his girl and his mom saying, Hey, come pick me up, blah, blah, blah.

01:49:37.500 So even though he's not a credible witness because he's lied before and he's also on trial for murder as well, his testimony is going to be corroborated by the physical evidence, which that in itself is what authenticates his testimony and makes it valid.

01:49:50.760 Because it's going to line up with the physical evidence that they have.

01:49:53.820 So what I see or what I suspect is the prosecution is going to go as far as they can without Portland assess.

01:50:02.700 Can we win without him? If the answer is, eh, I don't know.

01:50:06.500 They're going to put his ass on the stand and tell him, all right, tell us what the fuck happened. 1.00

01:50:10.140 And then they're going to cut him a deal. 0.99

01:50:11.400 So that's what's probably more than likely going to happen if the prosecution isn't able to bring this thing full circle or some piece of evidence gets taken away that can't be used, et cetera.

01:50:23.560 We've seen that there's been discovery issues during this case.

01:50:26.080 So that's what I predict is going to happen.

01:50:28.160 He's going to be the X factor.

01:50:30.820 Passenger and the two victims in front.

01:50:33.980 So, Bridget, can you clear that up for TT by three?

01:50:37.720 Okay. So that's an interesting question.

01:50:41.260 She's asking. 0.99

01:50:42.700 Like the goddamn video. 0.99

01:50:43.760 I'm giving you a better insight than these four bimbos on screen. 1.00

01:50:46.880 If they're who was all located in the vehicle and where they were.

01:50:51.520 So I guess I would say from the we will go back to what the camera shows.

01:50:56.640 And, I mean, I think that's the clearest indicator of where these, where everyone was.

01:51:01.960 You had where Melly was in the back of the vehicle.

01:51:05.700 And the forensics team is stating that that is where the initial shots came from, from the back of the vehicle.

01:51:13.400 And that's why they are putting this murder on Melly, because they are saying that the shot, initial shot, came from the back seat of the vehicle that was from where Melly was sitting at.

01:51:29.580 Yeah.

01:51:30.180 So they say they are saying Melly was in the back driver's side and then one victim up front, another victim next to him.

01:51:36.940 So that's why kind of what they're saying here in this case.

01:51:40.720 Our next question, Terry Austin, at user NQH1 or Hi1 from YouTube, why doesn't the state seem to have solid evidence so far?

01:51:51.340 Seems a reach to convict a man on such small evidence.

01:51:55.400 So this is somebody who doesn't believe that the case is very strong.

01:52:00.420 What's what do you have to say about that?

01:52:03.100 I'll get my opinion on this here in a second.

01:52:04.940 I want to see what the women say. 1.00

01:52:06.160 Well, this is a circumstantial case, and sometimes it's very difficult to prove a circumstantial case.

01:52:13.440 You don't have a witness who can say I was there.

01:52:16.320 I saw exactly what happened.

01:52:17.940 So to that extent, it is a weak case.

01:52:20.680 But if they do it correctly, they can put forensics in.

01:52:24.440 I mentioned this before, but they need to make sure they have the phone data.

01:52:28.940 They need to make sure that they have any sort of cameras that might have been outside to view the cars.

01:52:35.460 They need to get the information from the cars to see where the cars went.

01:52:39.820 And so I think if they put all of that forensic data together and they do it well and they analyze it, they can pinpoint what exactly happened.

01:52:48.240 You know, as far as the car, we do have the video of the individuals getting into the car.

01:52:53.880 And what the prosecution is claiming is, yes, you're right.

01:52:56.800 We have Mellie in the back, and he's in the back behind the driver.

01:53:01.680 We have Christopher Thomas, who's in the back on the passenger side.

01:53:06.220 And we have Anthony.

01:53:07.720 All right.

01:53:07.980 So here you can see here.

01:53:09.340 This is Mellie right here, guys.

01:53:10.860 You can see this is his satchel.

01:53:12.100 It's weighed down a bit.

01:53:12.960 We don't know what's in there.

01:53:14.380 And Sack Chaser is already seated in the front.

01:53:17.040 And then this dude, Chris, the light-skinned guy with the dreads, is seated in the back over here.

01:53:21.500 And Portland's already in the driver's seat.

01:53:23.820 They went in first.

01:53:25.440 And then Mellie's the last one to come out.

01:53:27.000 He is in the front on the passenger side.

01:53:29.380 And they have Henry as the driver.

01:53:31.740 So that is what the prosecution is claiming.

01:53:34.340 And they're going to have to prove that with the forensic evidence that they have.

01:53:37.980 And so far, that's what they're putting in.

01:53:40.040 And I think it's really – I wouldn't say it's a weak case.

01:53:43.220 I would say it's a difficult case.

01:53:47.040 And it's a very interesting case.

01:53:49.040 It's got a lot of people watching and paying attention.

01:53:51.960 We are going to take a quick break.

01:53:53.440 Keep the questions coming.

01:53:55.540 Yeah.

01:53:56.060 So the thing is that the reason why this guy said, oh, it's a weak case, blah, blah, bro. 1.00

01:54:01.320 Stupid. 1.00

01:54:01.900 The case just started. 1.00

01:54:02.800 It's been – it's day seven.

01:54:03.820 This is going to be a month-long plus trial.

01:54:06.940 So obviously, they don't have all the evidence out there yet.

01:54:11.100 Like you don't have everything.

01:54:12.340 You don't have the totality of the circumstances in front of you.

01:54:14.800 So it's very – it's too early to make an assessment and say, oh, this case is weak, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:54:20.380 Like, yes, this is a circumstantial case.

01:54:22.580 And I've talked to you guys about circumstantial cases where the evidence on its own typically doesn't look as good.

01:54:27.740 If you put each piece of evidence, oh, well, his phone showed that he traveled like this.

01:54:31.080 Oh, well, if you look at the wound pattern, it's from left to right.

01:54:34.480 Oh, if you look at the bullets in the car, it's on the right-hand side.

01:54:38.180 Each piece of evidence by itself is weak.

01:54:40.040 But when you put each piece of evidence next to each other in tandem, it tells a story that there's only one logical conclusion, okay?

01:54:46.820 So a case like this is going to take more time.

01:54:49.500 So for the people that are sitting there saying, oh, this is a weak case.

01:54:52.380 This prosecutor – no, no, she'll do it, blah, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

01:54:54.660 Is the prosecutor the best?

01:54:55.940 Eh, it doesn't look like it.

01:54:57.020 To me, it looks like she's overworked, and I'm shocked that she doesn't have a second chair with her.

01:54:59.860 That's actually really shocking to me.

01:55:01.680 But that doesn't mean that the case isn't going to be strong.

01:55:05.240 But when it's a circumstantial case, it means you have to sit there and wait and be patient and look for all the pieces of evidence to come out because all the evidence together tells a story.

01:55:12.500 You can't go off of one piece here and one piece there.

01:55:14.780 Oh, this is weak.

01:55:15.400 That was – blah, blah, blah.

01:55:16.180 You've got to blend everything together.

01:55:18.020 And it's amazing to me how so few people don't understand how the justice system works and or how evidence is presented in a case, what circumstantial evidence is, why you need to look at everything.

01:55:30.380 Like this case, right, if you just look – even if you look at the little clips here and there, it's not going to do it justice.

01:55:36.040 You honestly have to watch damn near the whole trial to really understand everything.

01:55:39.160 Obviously, I'm giving it to you guys and summarizing it for y'all, but the case is much more complex than a lot of people want to admit.

01:55:47.140 So you have to pay attention to know what the hell is going on.

01:55:49.360 But the prosecution absolutely does have a strong case.

01:55:51.240 I've broken this down in other videos.

01:55:54.660 But the problem is that it's circumstantial.

01:55:57.080 But circumstantial cases can be strong cases if you hear out all the pieces of evidence because then it allows you to come to a logical conclusion of, all right, this is the only way that this could have been done.

01:56:05.420 And then when you look at, like, the nonsensical story that the defendants came up with, which is what?

01:56:10.780 They got hit in a drive-by shooting in a different location, right, like on Interstate 75 or something like that versus it was really proven that they got – they were shot.

01:56:19.560 The drive-by shooting was done in a more desolate area by Miramar, and the police went back there, were able to find shards of glass that matched the Jeep, right?

01:56:26.200 Like, all these things of evidence, again, though on its own, it doesn't look strong when you put it all together to match up with the phone because the phone is what got them to the area.

01:56:34.520 So go back and look for the shards of glass.

01:56:36.460 When they tested the shards of glass, it proved that it matched the vehicle that they had in custody.

01:56:39.900 See how it all builds upon itself, right?

01:56:42.240 So that's what you got to do.

01:56:43.880 You got to have critical thinking skills. 0.99

01:56:45.200 But a lot of the people, I'll be honest, are fucking retards if I'm going to be all the way 1,000. 1.00

01:56:49.540 A lot of people are stupid and don't understand how circumstantial evidence works and how you need to pay attention and know every piece of evidence so that it all makes sense. 1.00

01:56:58.120 So, you know, for all the people saying, oh, yeah, this is a weak case, blah, blah. 1.00

01:57:01.920 Number one, they're not done.

01:57:02.800 They still got another month, which I'm shocked that it's going to take that long.

01:57:05.040 And then number two, the defendant's story is so asinine that there's no way that could have happened, right?

01:57:13.420 Like if they had a better cover story, right, like maybe someone else shot them, it wasn't a drive-by or whatever.

01:57:19.260 Then I'd be a little bit more inclined to be like, okay, maybe the prosecution doesn't have that strong of a case. 0.98

01:57:23.500 But the defensive story is so fucking clown world that it's very obvious. 0.99

01:57:29.960 And they lied. 0.99

01:57:30.480 Like all the people that they interviewed, Fredo Bang, all Melly's friends, all the other people, not just Cortland Henry.

01:57:39.020 They interviewed all of Melly's friends, all those guys that were there in the red Mitsubishi that you guys saw.

01:57:43.260 The police interviewed them, too.

01:57:44.600 And they all gave stories that didn't make sense.

01:57:46.520 Oh, yeah, I drove Melly here.

01:57:48.440 We went here, blah, blah, blah.

01:57:49.720 Police go ahead.

01:57:50.700 They do cell location data on their phones.

01:57:52.840 They showed yannick is going to go anywhere that you guys said.

01:57:55.000 So everyone is lying.

01:57:56.420 The physical evidence doesn't match the wound patterns and the death records, right?

01:58:05.020 The forensic examiner's information doesn't match what they're saying, right?

01:58:09.200 The victims were clearly dead.

01:58:11.180 But then the bullet holes were shot into the vehicle after the fact. 1.00

01:58:13.800 Like, all this shit is like, bro, like, he killed him. 1.00

01:58:17.100 It's a thousand percent Melly shot them and killed him. 1.00

01:58:20.480 Now it's on the government to prove it. 0.99

01:58:22.160 But if you look at the other story, it makes zero fucking sense. 0.98

01:58:26.180 This is why I say so many people, like, lack common sense. 1.00

01:58:28.500 Like, so many people are so dumb. 1.00

01:58:30.600 Melly's innocent, bro. 1.00

01:58:32.500 He ain't innocent.

01:58:33.100 He definitely killed him.

01:58:34.000 You know what I mean?

01:58:34.560 Now it's on the government to prove it.

01:58:35.980 But, yeah, I mean, and here, just so y'all know, like, I like YNW Melly.

01:58:41.160 I think his music is great.

01:58:42.100 I think he's very talented.

01:58:44.040 I mean, if he beats the case, good for him.

01:58:45.780 Like, I'll be like, all right, cool.

01:58:46.920 We can listen to the music again.

01:58:48.540 But for me to sit here and tell y'all, objectively speaking, that he's innocent would be a lie.

01:58:53.960 Like, it's very obvious that he killed him.

01:58:58.140 It's just on the prosecutor to prove it.

01:58:59.340 But y'all got to give her enough time.

01:59:00.420 She has another month of evidence that she has to go through, a bunch of more witnesses.

01:59:03.820 But I think by the end of this, he's probably going to get convicted, guys.

01:59:07.960 He probably will.

01:59:08.960 Because their story is so, like, far-fetched that there's no way that they got hit in a drive-by shooting.

01:59:18.060 Like, come on, man.

01:59:20.220 You know, it doesn't make sense.

01:59:21.880 And on top of that, like, Melly tried to say he wasn't at the scene.

01:59:24.320 And then later on, he releases a documentary where he admits he was at the scene.

01:59:27.500 Here, I'll show y'all.

01:59:28.100 Look. 0.98

01:59:28.980 Just so y'all know, I'm not fucking capping here. 0.98

01:59:32.360 That's another thing, too. 0.96

01:59:33.020 A lot of people don't know this case that well.

01:59:34.400 And they're just, like, assuming they know.

01:59:35.820 But they don't really know anything.

01:59:36.780 So they're just, like, watching this for the first time. 1.00

01:59:39.800 Look at this shit. 0.99

01:59:41.520 Keep in mind, he said that he was not at the crime scene. 1.00

01:59:43.760 Or, like, he tried to make himself not be at the crime scene. 1.00

01:59:47.040 Look at this shit. 0.99

01:59:47.580 Four days after the completion of this film, YNW Melly and his friends were targets of a drive-by shooting in Miami, Florida. 1.00

01:59:58.100 YNW Juby and YNW Sack Chaser were killed.

02:00:00.240 Why is this important?

02:00:02.860 Because it puts Melly at the scene.

02:00:07.080 Like self-snitching in his own documentaries.

02:00:09.480 Come on, man.

02:00:11.240 Bruh.

02:00:11.900 Come on. 1.00

02:00:13.580 All these idiots in the chat trying to say, oh, bro, like, oh, he wasn't even there. 1.00

02:00:18.160 Blah, blah, blah. 1.00

02:00:18.680 In his own documentary. 1.00

02:00:19.800 Look at this shit. 1.00

02:00:20.700 Ha, ha, ha, ha. 1.00

02:00:22.720 Like, come on, man.

02:00:24.440 Ha, ha, ha.

02:00:25.580 Ah, anyway.

02:00:29.600 Common sense is so common. 1.00

02:00:30.900 It amazes me how stupid people really are. 1.00

02:00:33.300 Like the video, guys. 1.00

02:00:34.340 All right.

02:00:35.580 But, guys, I think that's going to conclude today's coverage on the thing.

02:00:39.760 If I have time tomorrow, I'll cover it again.

02:00:42.740 It seems like you guys really enjoy these live breakdowns.

02:00:44.700 Give me ones in the chat if y'all like me doing these live breakdowns of the trial.

02:00:49.640 Because I might start doing this more for you guys.

02:00:51.480 Anytime there's, like, a high-profile trial, give me ones in the chat if you guys like it.

02:00:54.160 Twos if you don't.

02:00:54.800 One if you like it.

02:00:55.960 Two if you don't.

02:00:57.520 Because what I'll probably do is anytime there's, like, big cases in there on trial live, I could watch it with you guys and give you more insight and everything else like that. 0.97

02:01:05.140 Because, you know, I totally understand that watching trial can be dry and boring as fuck. 0.99

02:01:09.280 Which is why so many people don't know what the fuck is going on. 0.99

02:01:11.160 Because they can't sit there, you know, through all the monotony and all the boringness and be able to siphon, cipher through all the bullshit and be able to get, like, the pertinent information. 0.99

02:01:18.760 I understand that. 0.98

02:01:19.500 I mean, hell, even for me, it's annoying.

02:01:21.200 So, I get it. 0.97

02:01:22.440 But if y'all enjoy it, man, you want to watch Trials with your boy, Myron Gaines, so I can go ahead and explain shit to y'all, I'd be happy to do that. 0.94

02:01:29.400 Okay, looks like it's all, it's resounding ones. 0.91

02:01:31.960 Cool.

02:01:32.680 All right, yeah.

02:01:33.160 I'll do that for high-profile cases for you guys.

02:01:36.720 But, yeah, guys, do me a favor.

02:01:39.600 Let's see here how many likes we're at here.

02:01:41.700 We are at, uh, we got 1,600 y'all in here, but we only got 1.2.

02:01:47.620 Come on, man.

02:01:48.620 Get it to 1.5, guys. 1.00

02:01:49.920 Stop being fucking ninja watchers. 0.99

02:01:51.700 Just smash that like button. 1.00

02:01:52.880 I really appreciate it.

02:01:55.400 But let's see.

02:01:56.220 I don't see any super chats here.

02:01:57.980 If you guys got any last-second questions, get them in now.

02:01:59.940 Get them in now.

02:02:00.900 I'll answer it before I get off air.

02:02:04.280 Give you guys a minute.

02:02:06.040 Any last-minute questions, go ahead and shoot them here, and I will, uh, answer them before

02:02:11.920 I get off air.

02:02:15.840 Uh, all right.

02:02:18.400 Doesn't look like anything's coming in.

02:02:21.920 Cool, cool.

02:02:27.640 We got...

02:02:30.480 1.3.

02:02:31.700 And I'll get timestamps up for you guys here as well very soon.

02:02:36.860 So, cool, cool, cool.

02:02:40.420 All right.

02:02:41.160 Love you guys.

02:02:42.080 I'm going to catch you guys on the next episode of Fed It.

02:02:44.600 I'll probably do...

02:02:45.620 Yeah, I'll do Young Dolph eventually, guys.

02:02:47.100 I just got to get the documents for him.

02:02:50.520 Is a phone and gun shavadin?

02:02:53.000 It's not really obvious on the case it was him.

02:02:54.820 Yeah, bro. 1.00

02:02:55.280 Dude, people are stupid, dude. 1.00

02:02:56.980 People are really dumb. 1.00

02:02:57.920 You got to remember that a lot of people, right, are, like, kind of clouded by... 1.00

02:03:01.560 Their judgment is clouded because they like YNW Melly as a fan, which I completely understand.

02:03:05.960 But you got to be able to be objective.

02:03:07.300 Like me, for example, I like his music, but I can look at the evidence and be like, yeah,

02:03:10.680 bro.

02:03:11.020 Like, he shot these dudes.

02:03:12.940 There's no way around it, you know?

02:03:16.560 When the next party, Trey Gaines?

02:03:18.120 I don't know when the next party is.

02:03:20.140 Y'all know I don't drink like that.

02:03:24.000 So, yeah.

02:03:25.360 All right, guys.

02:03:26.360 Like the video.

02:03:27.320 I'll be back maybe tomorrow.

02:03:29.720 Do another live stream for you guys before Fresh and Fit, since you guys really like this trial coverage.
