The Debrief With MyronGainesX - Melly's Friend Takes Stand & Says Melly Wasn't At The Murder Scene？! Loyalty Or Stupidity？

00:00:00.520 All right, what's up guys and we're live so we're gonna get right into the trial

00:00:03.700 Looks like they brought up the first winners for today and after we take a break. I'm going to give you guys a

00:00:08.920 Summary what went down. So let's get right into this thing and the stream was down guys. So they made a new one

00:00:14.660 That's why I was a little bit delayed

00:00:18.760 Hold on

00:00:21.520 Hmm, why the hell is this?

00:00:23.520 Does that sound?

00:00:25.780 Bear with me real quick guys

00:00:27.780 And how about all right, we in and out

00:00:30.360 Do you know someone by the name of dontavius with us?

00:00:33.900 Oh, yes, and you know his name

00:00:38.400 Let's start off with the first individual. I named

00:00:41.940 Anthony Williams

00:00:43.940 How did you meet him?

00:00:47.780 Last temporary school

00:00:51.860 How about Christopher Thomas?

00:00:53.860 How did you meet him during school?

00:00:57.780 All right guys, so the trial just started. They're bringing in the first witness. I don't know who this guy is

00:01:01.940 But I'm gonna move get to that as we continue listening to him testify

00:01:05.360 All right, so this is someone that's clearly a childhood friend of both Mellie and YW

00:01:25.200 Portland and if you guys remember YW Portland is the one that drove the bodies to the hospital and Mellie obviously is the alleged shooter

00:01:31.520 Oh

00:01:34.460 Travon Glass

00:01:36.980 She is not a kid

00:01:37.800 dopo would go through a during different schools

00:01:40.240 Now

00:01:41.120 Is it nick remembers?

00:01:42.800 The tragedy

00:01:46.060 Jacoby

00:01:48.200 She coming away from the second elementary

00:01:52.480 And finally, we've got babies with us

00:01:55.600 I was

00:01:55.880 Down here

00:01:56.940 towards MD

00:01:58.900 Fort Lauderdale

00:01:59.900 So you went to school with Williams, Thomas, Henry, Mellie, Glass, et cetera.

00:02:15.980 All right.

00:02:16.520 So it looks like this guy went to school with all four of the people that were involved in this situation.

00:02:20.580 You guys remember a quick little refresher.

00:02:22.260 You had YNW Mellie in a backseat.

00:02:24.040 You had Juvia right next to Mellie.

00:02:26.580 And then you had Sack Chaser in the front and then Bortland driving.

00:02:29.000 So basically, all four of these individuals knew each other through school.

00:02:32.420 And it seems like this guy was there.

00:02:37.960 At any time during school, did any of you have any problems with each other?

00:02:47.560 Not at all.

00:02:48.480 Okay.

00:02:48.900 So, guys, also want to give you all a tip.

00:02:50.720 Right now, the person that's speaking is Mellie's, it looks like, lawyer.

00:02:54.540 I can tell from his voice because I've been covering this case for a bit now.

00:02:58.040 So that's Mellie's lawyer.

00:02:59.360 So the fact that this guy just got put on the stand and the defense is asking him first, that means that he's the defense's witness, guys.

00:03:05.740 So more than likely, he's going to be a character witness.

00:03:08.060 And he's going to talk about all the good Mellie did, how he's a friend, blah, blah, blah.

00:03:11.640 Because any time you've got a witness on the stand and the first person that's questioning them typically is the, how do I say it?

00:03:19.100 They're on the side of the witness that's there.

00:03:20.620 So, for example, if prosecution, right, is bringing witness, typically they're going to be the first ones to ask that witness the questions.

00:03:27.700 Then they let the defense cross-examine.

00:03:29.600 Now, if the defense brings in a witness, then the defense asks the questions first, gets them comfortable, then lets the prosecutor examine.

00:03:35.220 So that's kind of how the law works in the United States with court systems.

00:03:38.520 The witness that goes on, depending on which side they're on, they get interviewed by their interested party first.

00:03:45.100 Give me one if you guys understood what I just explained.

00:03:48.280 Would you label yourself good friends, associates, close friends, or what?

00:03:55.620 Good friends, close friends, close friends.

00:03:59.200 Now, did Mellie also have another name besides Mellie and Jamel?

00:04:09.720 Yeah.

00:04:10.820 I'm sorry.

00:04:11.660 We only call Mellie crazy legs.

00:04:14.480 Crazy legs.

00:04:15.380 Yeah, and the reason why the defense is calling their witnesses now, guys, is because the prosecution put up all their witnesses.

00:04:21.480 And one of the most important witnesses was the actual case detective that covered this case.

00:04:25.560 So when we take a break on this, I'm going to go through and show y'all a video of what that lead detective said that ran this case.

00:04:31.520 All right, because obviously he's probably one of the most important witnesses.

00:04:33.900 So they saved him for last.

00:04:35.020 Now it's the defense going, and they're calling their witnesses.

00:04:38.660 And why did, why was he called crazy legs?

00:04:42.820 Because he liked to dance.

00:04:45.380 And that's why you got that nickname.

00:04:49.100 Was Mellie, uh, uh...

00:04:52.100 Yes, this means that prosecution has no more witnesses, guys, if the defense is starting to put their witnesses on.

00:04:57.440 Big kid, normal size, uh, kid when, uh, you guys were in school.

00:05:03.220 Did there come a time that Mellie...

00:05:09.940 When I'm referring to Mellie, I'm referring to this young man, Jamel.

00:05:16.940 Did there come a time that Mellie got involved in the music industry?

00:05:24.940 Specifically rap music.

00:05:26.400 FYI, guys, Jamel is YNW Mellie's government name.

00:05:30.940 So you're going to be seeing them refer to Jamel or...

00:05:34.120 They say Demons, but it really is Demons' last name.

00:05:36.780 But anytime they say Jamel or Demons or Demons, that means they're talking about Mellie's government name.

00:05:42.120 And then YNW Bortland, he...

00:05:46.120 He, uh, his real name is Cortland Henry.

00:05:48.480 But as you guys know, these guys claim to be Bloods.

00:05:50.620 So Bortland switched the C in his name to a B.

00:05:53.900 Alright?

00:05:54.180 And this is very common in gang culture where you don't use letters of the ops.

00:05:57.820 So if you're, um, you know...

00:06:01.100 Like, for example, look at Kripmak on No Jumper.

00:06:04.060 He never says the B word.

00:06:05.620 So instead of calling someone a buster, he'll call them a custer.

00:06:09.360 Which is actually really, really entertaining.

00:06:10.940 Let me know if y'all want me to break him on the show.

00:06:12.260 He's actually hilarious.

00:06:12.900 But, yeah, that's an example of, like, someone taking it to the extreme for their gang

00:06:16.580 and never using a certain letter and rephrasing things and speaking in a different way

00:06:20.520 where he tries to avoid the use of the letter B.

00:06:23.340 So YNW Bortland is the same exact thing, but he's a Blood, so he tries never to use, um, C.

00:06:28.360 So, uh, hope that makes sense for y'all.

00:06:30.860 Give me once in the chat if, uh, you understand that concept of gangs using, um, their own letters

00:06:35.920 and never using op letters in their vocabulary.

00:06:39.080 Now, you grew up where?

00:06:46.380 You were a leech.

00:06:50.800 And you still live up in that area?

00:06:53.300 No, sir.

00:06:53.860 Where's the point?

00:06:55.280 Wait, y'all want Crip Mac?

00:07:02.600 If I get, there's 394 of you guys watching right now.

00:07:06.660 We're going to slowly climb to 1,000.

00:07:08.580 If I could get 400 likes, I'm going to hit Adam up on air and tell him to put me in touch

00:07:14.500 with Crip Mac.

00:07:15.100 Y'all want that?

00:07:16.280 Y'all want that?

00:07:19.420 If I hit 400 likes in the next 10 to 20 minutes, guys, at next 10 minutes, we'll say 10 minutes,

00:07:25.280 if I hit 400, I'll go ahead and, um, hit up Adam now and tell him to get me, uh, in touch

00:07:29.980 with Crip Mac.

00:07:31.440 By the way, what do you do for him?

00:07:32.860 Because he actually is hilarious, by the way.

00:07:35.320 Uh, my granddad owns properties, rental properties and stuff, real estate.

00:07:40.200 So we just cut grass, paint, whatever we need to do, keep the properties up.

00:07:44.980 I want to draw your attention to the year of 2018.

00:07:50.980 Did there come a time that you came down to, uh, Broward County, Miramont, Florida?

00:07:57.940 Yes.

00:07:58.660 About when.

00:07:59.380 And guys, just so y'all know, I know you guys are like, who is this Crip Mac guy?

00:08:03.420 He's just funny, guys.

00:08:04.340 It wouldn't be like a show to like a Money Monday or any shit like that.

00:08:07.140 It would basically be an interview for just straight entertainment for y'all.

00:08:09.560 It would kind of be a break from all the self-improvement shit we give you.

00:08:12.860 So if y'all want that, let me know.

00:08:14.560 What is that?

00:08:16.020 I don't remember exactly, but I want to say probably like September, July something.

00:08:22.580 Okay.

00:08:24.080 And where did you stay?

00:08:27.040 At Jamel's house.

00:08:30.520 Who else was living, uh, at Jamel's house when you came down in August of September of 2018?

00:08:39.560 Uh, me, Jacobi, Mellie, Seth, Julie, um.

00:08:45.400 Julie with Christopher Thomas.

00:08:47.100 Yes, uh, Kaye and Courtney.

00:08:50.120 And was Mellie in the rap music business at that time?

00:08:58.740 Yes, I believe so.

00:09:00.180 Yeah.

00:09:03.780 Did you all get along together?

00:09:06.200 Yes.

00:09:07.380 All right, so that's key.

00:09:08.300 Now he's trying to get into like the rapport part.

00:09:10.720 And hey, was, were you guys all friends?

00:09:12.560 Were there ever any arguments, fights amongst you guys?

00:09:20.120 No.

00:09:23.580 And is that where you met Dontavious Withers?

00:09:28.720 Yes.

00:09:30.240 And does he have a nickname?

00:09:32.200 Uh, too.

00:09:33.280 Okay.

00:09:33.440 Who was paying the bills, uh, at, at the house?

00:09:47.720 I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that it was.

00:09:49.840 Let's go to the day of October 25th.

00:09:58.080 And so, you have an idea where I am.

00:10:02.020 Uh, this incident that we're here on occurred in the early morning hours of October 26th.

00:10:09.840 Okay, guys, important date to remember.

00:10:14.160 This murder went down on October 26th, 2018.

00:10:18.500 So, basically, guys, this has been going on for damn near five years, this case.

00:10:22.100 And they're just going to trial now.

00:10:23.760 And I'm referring you to the shootings of Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas.

00:10:32.060 On October 25th, the morning of, and during the day, what were you doing?

00:10:39.800 Uh, just chilling out.

00:10:41.140 How was, how was, how was, how was, smoking and drinking?

00:10:43.600 Okay.

00:10:44.220 Who were you smoking and drinking with?

00:10:46.040 Uh, Cody, Tate, everybody who would need me to ask?

00:10:52.960 Okay.

00:10:54.020 Williams?

00:10:54.900 Yes.

00:10:55.960 Thomas?

00:10:56.840 Yes.

00:10:58.600 Warden Henry?

00:10:59.760 Yes.

00:11:01.020 Travon Glass?

00:11:02.300 Yes.

00:11:03.940 Dante is withers?

00:11:05.860 Yes.

00:11:07.540 And were there plans to go to a recording studio that evening?

00:11:14.240 Yes.

00:11:16.040 Did you, in fact, go to the recording studio?

00:11:20.680 Yes.

00:11:22.260 And that was after you all were, for lack of a better term, smoking dope, weed, the rest,

00:11:30.560 and having a few drinks.

00:11:33.900 Yeah.

00:11:34.120 What was a drink of choice?

00:11:36.180 I'm a period of time.

00:11:37.780 And it's...

00:11:38.380 And it's...

00:11:39.300 Keep it stereotypes live, I see, man.

00:11:46.040 Who all went to the studio?

00:11:49.560 Nothing ever comes good from Henny, guys.

00:11:51.380 Me, Jacoby, Melisette, Julie, Courtland, and Trayvon, and Tate.

00:12:02.720 Okay.

00:12:03.820 Did you all go in the same car?

00:12:05.940 No.

00:12:07.060 Okay.

00:12:08.180 Going to the studio.

00:12:11.240 Approximately what time did you get there?

00:12:13.020 I don't remember, was it during the day or not?

00:12:17.160 I don't know.

00:12:19.820 Did you go in the same car or were there two cars?

00:12:26.140 We took two cars.

00:12:28.700 What type of cars were them?

00:12:31.240 It was deep in a recent machine.

00:12:33.140 What color was the Mitsubishi?

00:12:35.960 Red.

00:12:37.740 Will you tell this jury who got into the red Mitsubishi to go to the studio?

00:12:44.480 Me, Jacoby, Tay, and Trayvon.

00:12:51.500 Okay.

00:12:51.980 And who got into the Jeep to go to the studio?

00:12:57.520 Melisette, Julie, and...

00:13:00.140 Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and make this a lot clearer because he's mentioning names

00:13:04.260 and you guys might not be familiar if you're not very familiar with this case.

00:13:08.060 So let me go ahead and do you all a favor.

00:13:09.980 I'm going to give you guys a visual representation of what's going on down here, okay?

00:13:13.620 So as y'all can see, he's on the stand.

00:13:16.660 This is the vehicle that was used in the murder, and these were the people inside, right?

00:13:22.400 So I'll give you all a quick visual.

00:13:23.460 So you see here in the front seat, this is YW Bortland right here, right?

00:13:26.700 A.K.A. Cortland Henry, or excuse me, Cortland Henry, but his, you know, stage name is YW Bortland,

00:13:33.300 right, with the B, which I explained to y'all before.

00:13:35.040 Here's Melly in the back seat.

00:13:36.460 This is Sack Chaser.

00:13:38.140 His real name is, let's see here, DeAndre Williams, okay?

00:13:41.400 So whenever they say Williams, they're referring to him.

00:13:43.640 And then this guy, YW Juvie, is Jermaine Thomas Jr.

00:13:48.460 So if you hear them say Thomas or Williams, those are two victims.

00:13:51.420 They mention Henry, it's one of the people that, you know, was involved in this whole situation

00:13:56.440 and might have been complicit.

00:13:57.660 But these are the two victims on this side.

00:13:59.820 The bullet wounds show that the bullet went this way and behind this dude's neck.

00:14:04.880 So pretty much he got shot in the cheek, died instantly.

00:14:07.620 He got shot in the back of the head, died instantly.

00:14:09.660 And there was blood all over the car, et cetera.

00:14:11.380 So this is a visual representation of what they're actually talking about now.

00:14:15.220 Now, as you guys can see also, the lawyer's asking him about two vehicles, right?

00:14:19.940 Let me refresh y'all memories that are just joining or new to Fed Reacts.

00:14:22.940 This is what he's referring to.

00:14:24.520 As y'all can see here, you got them coming.

00:14:27.120 This is YNW Sack Chaser right here.

00:14:29.440 These are the friends, right?

00:14:30.940 So he might actually be in.

00:14:33.000 The dude that's on the stand right now might be in this CCTV.

00:14:36.920 So he gets in, right?

00:14:37.720 Let's speed this up.

00:14:38.980 Now you just see, that's Bortland.

00:14:39.980 He came out as well.

00:14:40.760 Now he's going to get in a driver's seat.

00:14:42.540 So Bortland is there.

00:14:43.920 Y'all just saw Sack Chaser get in, right?

00:14:46.360 Let me speed this up for y'all.

00:14:49.480 Right?

00:14:50.460 Fast forward, fast forward.

00:14:54.300 Fast forward.

00:14:55.580 All right.

00:14:55.860 So this dude is here.

00:14:57.040 That might be the guy in the stand right now.

00:14:58.700 His dreads were shorter back then.

00:15:01.600 And then you're going to see Melly.

00:15:02.880 Bam.

00:15:03.200 This is Melly right here, guys.

00:15:04.560 Right?

00:15:04.880 Right here in the jean jacket and the satchel.

00:15:08.740 Where is he going to go?

00:15:10.040 He's going to go in the back left seat.

00:15:12.020 Now, y'all are going to see Juvie.

00:15:17.120 And just so you guys know, this is a music studio that they're coming from at 2 a.m.

00:15:20.840 Up north in like the Fort Lauderdale area.

00:15:22.960 And there you go.

00:15:23.420 See Juvie get in there.

00:15:24.380 And then the rest of them get in their cars.

00:15:25.920 Then they get ready.

00:15:28.960 Right?

00:15:30.140 And they start to take off.

00:15:31.520 Boom.

00:15:32.580 So Melly's in the car.

00:15:34.000 Y'all got to see it with your own two eyes.

00:15:35.180 Then these guys get in.

00:15:36.220 So that's what they're referring to to give y'all a visual representation.

00:15:39.500 Give me ones in the chat if that helps y'all understand the case better.

00:15:42.480 Because some of you guys might not know all these people that this dude on the stand is talking about.

00:15:46.400 So I want to make sure I give y'all that visual.

00:15:48.800 Boy.

00:15:51.240 Who dropped?

00:15:52.020 Do you know who drove the Mitsubishi to the studio?

00:15:59.260 That would be going to take this way.

00:16:01.060 Yeah.

00:16:02.300 Do you know who drove the...

00:16:04.420 All right.

00:16:04.640 Perfect.

00:16:05.040 Perfect.

00:16:05.360 That's my goal the whole time.

00:16:06.760 You know what I mean?

00:16:07.060 I don't want to...

00:16:07.860 I want to make sure that y'all are actually understanding what's going on here.

00:16:11.600 Gee.

00:16:12.240 It's a student.

00:16:13.820 I think the board did.

00:16:15.680 Okay.

00:16:16.140 And like the video, goddammit.

00:16:17.760 Ain't nobody breaking down this case with this level of detail, guys.

00:16:20.680 So like the video, man.

00:16:22.220 Y'all ain't going to get breakdowns like this anywhere else live.

00:16:25.100 It would be a court interview.

00:16:27.340 Oh.

00:16:32.040 And what was the purpose of going to the studio?

00:16:35.340 To make music.

00:16:37.060 Did anyone fall asleep at the studio?

00:16:41.620 Yes.

00:16:42.340 Oh.

00:16:43.240 Oh, we all did.

00:16:45.580 That was from the day of smoking weed and having a few drinks.

00:16:49.800 Yeah.

00:16:50.780 Fair enough.

00:16:51.300 Did any argument occur between any of you at the studio?

00:17:00.220 No.

00:17:00.620 No.

00:17:02.680 All right.

00:17:03.180 So the defense attorney is doing a good job here.

00:17:04.740 He's trying to establish that Melly has no motive.

00:17:07.360 And he's asking them, yo, was there any issues at the studio?

00:17:10.220 What could have led to this?

00:17:10.960 So they're trying to paint Melly in a positive light.

00:17:13.800 Did there come a time that you all left the studio?

00:17:20.740 Yes.

00:17:21.100 Did you leave the studio earlier than what was scheduled?

00:17:27.440 Yeah, I believe so.

00:17:28.600 So we were all in their sleep.

00:17:32.160 Will you tell the jury who got into the red Mittabishi?

00:17:36.660 All right.

00:17:37.060 That's just from the CCTV for the show.

00:17:39.160 All right.

00:17:50.520 The people that went into the Mitsubishi that showed y'all, they're not really relevant,

00:17:53.760 guys.

00:17:54.120 And the reason why is because they ended up lying to the police and telling completely different

00:17:57.000 stories anyway.

00:17:58.760 But the defense's goal here isn't to say who got in vehicle and whatever.

00:18:02.520 His thing is to say that Melly has good character and established that they didn't fight right

00:18:06.560 before getting in the studio.

00:18:07.380 So it wouldn't make sense for him to kill his friends in cold blood, the way that they

00:18:10.560 were killed.

00:18:12.840 Courtland, Jamel, Seth, and Judy.

00:18:20.560 Where were you going?

00:18:22.600 Come.

00:18:29.720 Did anyone fall asleep in your car?

00:18:32.500 Yeah, we might all do except for the driver.

00:18:34.840 Did there come a time that you were woken up before you got to the house?

00:18:43.840 Yes.

00:18:45.940 What happened?

00:18:47.660 We pulled over and that's when Melly got in the car with us.

00:18:52.460 Do you know where you pulled over?

00:18:54.740 I don't really remember.

00:18:57.140 Wait, hold on, hold on.

00:18:58.340 What the?

00:18:58.980 All right.

00:18:59.380 I'm going to see, I'm going to tell y'all why this is important here in a second.

00:19:02.540 Let's listen in and see what he says here.

00:19:04.420 Woken up?

00:19:05.600 Yeah.

00:19:06.300 Why?

00:19:07.640 Because I was getting pushed over a little bit.

00:19:10.120 Okay.

00:19:11.020 And are you 100% sure that this young man got into the red Mitsubishi?

00:19:18.660 Yes.

00:19:19.820 Nigga!

00:19:21.260 What happened to the Jeep?

00:19:24.120 Bro.

00:19:24.360 Bro.

00:19:24.400 Bro.

00:19:24.560 Bro.

00:19:24.940 Bro.

00:19:24.980 Bro.

00:19:25.020 Bro.

00:19:25.060 Bro.

00:19:25.100 Bro.

00:19:29.380 Bro.

00:19:45.880 Yo.

00:19:47.560 What?

00:19:48.880 Yo.

00:19:50.360 Y'all literally might be witnessing a crime occurring right now in front of your eyes in 4K.

00:19:55.560 Hold on.

00:19:57.560 Let's keep watching this.

00:19:58.760 It just kept going.

00:20:01.900 Where'd you go?

00:20:11.260 Hold on.

00:20:12.100 Did you have to unlock the door?

00:20:13.860 Oh, the sound just cut out.

00:20:14.720 Yes.

00:20:15.540 Do you know who had, has the keys to Melly's house on October 26th in the early morning hours?

00:20:24.800 Jamel and Borton.

00:20:26.500 The only one who had keys to the house.

00:20:28.200 Okay.

00:20:28.700 Did you have a key to the house?

00:20:30.280 No.

00:20:31.800 Did Williams have a key to the house?

00:20:34.340 No.

00:20:35.100 Did Christopher Thomas have a key to the house?

00:20:37.440 No.

00:20:39.020 Did Trevon Blass have a key to the house?

00:20:41.540 No.

00:20:41.840 Did Jacobi Mills have a key to the house?

00:20:45.220 No.

00:20:45.960 And how about Don Tatey Swift?

00:20:48.660 Did he have a key?

00:20:50.700 No.

00:20:51.400 Okay.

00:20:51.760 So the only two people you know who had a key to the house was this young man.

00:20:58.980 Yes.

00:20:59.280 All right.

00:20:59.580 All right.

00:20:59.600 We got to rewind this and make sure I'm not tripping.

00:21:01.980 Hold on.

00:21:08.540 Where were you going?

00:21:10.560 Home.

00:21:16.680 And what was the purpose of going to the studio?

00:21:19.360 Make music.

00:21:20.100 That was from the day of any of you at the studio.

00:21:25.420 So we had to end your fight?

00:21:27.560 We had to leave.

00:21:28.440 So we were all in their sleep.

00:21:32.320 Me, Jacobi, Trevon, and Seth and Judy.

00:21:39.860 Okay.

00:21:42.600 Where were you going?

00:21:44.440 Home.

00:21:44.860 Did anyone fall asleep in your car?

00:21:49.680 No.

00:21:50.120 We about all did except for the driver.

00:21:53.600 Did there come a time that you were woken up before you got to the house?

00:22:00.640 Yes.

00:22:03.020 What happened?

00:22:04.720 We pulled over and that's when Melanie got in the car with us.

00:22:09.280 Do you know where you pulled over?

00:22:11.920 I don't really remember.

00:22:13.140 Were you woken up?

00:22:15.920 Yeah.

00:22:16.580 Why?

00:22:17.920 Because I was getting pushed over a little bit.

00:22:20.420 Okay.

00:22:21.220 And are you 100% sure that this young man got into the Red Mitsubishi?

00:22:28.920 Yes.

00:22:31.400 What happened to the Jeep?

00:22:33.880 I think they just kept going.

00:22:37.620 Where'd he go?

00:22:38.480 Okay, this is crazy.

00:22:43.860 Because y'all just saw on the CCTV footage that Melanie went with them.

00:22:46.400 But what he's trying to insinuate now is that the car later parked and picked Melanie up.

00:22:51.820 But here's the thing.

00:22:52.700 Here's the key.

00:22:53.460 As y'all know, after Melanie made the murder, he made a FaceTime call to get out of that area where they had just killed the dudes.

00:22:59.600 And Portland went to take them to the hospital.

00:23:01.160 So, he's not being specific as to when he saw Melanie get in the car.

00:23:05.240 For all we know, it could have been after the hit was done.

00:23:07.340 But I think he's trying to insinuate that he did it before the hit was done so he couldn't have been the shooter.

00:23:13.480 Yes.

00:23:14.360 Do you know who has the keys to Melanie's house on October 26th in the early morning hours?

00:23:23.540 Jamel and Portland.

00:23:25.360 The only one who had keys to the house.

00:23:27.220 Did you have a key to the house?

00:23:28.840 No.

00:23:30.580 Did Williams have a key to the house?

00:23:33.160 No.

00:23:33.920 Did Christopher Thomas have a key to the house?

00:23:36.280 No.

00:23:37.860 Did Trevon Blass have a key to the house?

00:23:40.380 No.

00:23:42.240 Did Jacoby Mills have a key to the house?

00:23:44.540 No.

00:23:45.180 And how about Don Tadeus Swift?

00:23:47.440 Did he have a key?

00:23:49.500 No.

00:23:50.220 Okay.

00:23:50.440 So, the only two people you know who had a key to the house was this young man.

00:23:57.620 Yes.

00:23:58.100 And Cortland Henry.

00:24:00.540 Yes.

00:24:01.120 Those are the two people suspected in the murder.

00:24:02.720 So, he's saying they're the only ones that had the keys to the house, but I'm trying to see why this is relevant.

00:24:05.560 Let's see here.

00:24:07.400 Did you see this young man unlock the door of the house?

00:24:13.020 Yes.

00:24:13.440 So, he's trying to say that they brought Melly home.

00:24:43.440 And they're trying to, I guess, insinuate that he wasn't with Portland in them.

00:24:47.480 But this, let's see what he's, this is a very weird story, guys.

00:24:51.260 If y'all are familiar with the facts of the case, something isn't up.

00:24:54.340 I mean, I want to, we'll keep watching it together, but this doesn't make sense.

00:24:57.920 The house is, can't miss it, it's right down the left.

00:25:01.240 Okay.

00:25:01.700 This is a one or two story house.

00:25:03.840 Two.

00:25:05.140 Where did you go?

00:25:08.420 Where did Dontavious Withers go?

00:25:10.980 All right, I'm going to speed to some of those guys, so we can catch up.

00:25:15.880 Do you know where Dontavious Withers went?

00:25:19.660 To the room upstairs.

00:25:21.580 Do you know where Trayvon Blass went?

00:25:23.920 To the room upstairs.

00:25:26.660 Do you know where Jacoby Mills went?

00:25:30.000 He slept by me.

00:25:30.780 So the three of you, the four of you went upstairs, you're right.

00:25:35.800 And this young man went and did his bed.

00:25:38.640 Yes.

00:25:39.520 How many people went upstairs and went to sleep?

00:25:44.440 Three.

00:25:45.280 And you?

00:25:46.060 Yeah.

00:25:46.720 That would be?

00:25:48.100 Me, Jacoby, Manny.

00:25:49.420 We went downstairs.

00:25:51.120 Me, Jacoby, Freddy, and Ted.

00:25:54.340 So four of us.

00:25:55.040 Okay.

00:25:55.900 I think when he says Freddy, that he might be referring to Fredo Bang, guys.

00:26:00.780 And Melly went to his bedroom?

00:26:03.100 Yes.

00:26:04.140 Did there come a time in the early morning hours that you were woken up and heard some distrusty news?

00:26:11.280 Yes.

00:26:14.280 What did you hear?

00:26:15.680 That Samuel was shot.

00:26:18.160 When you heard that, did you see Melly in the house?

00:26:23.220 Yes.

00:26:24.200 Did you see Melly how he was dressed in the house?

00:26:27.200 Yes.

00:26:27.580 What was he wearing?

00:26:28.620 Shorts and t-shirts, I think.

00:26:30.780 Okay.

00:26:35.180 Upon hearing that, that Sack and Judy, and I really should be using the correct names, Anthony Wooden and Christopher Thomas were shot.

00:26:43.260 What did you guys do?

00:26:44.720 Well, we heard it just so we just let go to Fredo's house.

00:26:49.160 Did, was anybody upset or crying?

00:26:53.560 Yeah, we all were crying.

00:26:56.480 Was this young man crying?

00:26:57.640 Yes.

00:26:58.280 All right.

00:26:58.700 So he's trying to show that Melly was with him and Melly was crying when he heard the news.

00:27:03.480 Positive.

00:27:03.800 Positive.

00:27:05.560 I could tell this is going to be a really fun cross-examination for the prosecutors, man.

00:27:14.280 When they start asking this guy questions.

00:27:18.420 That would be Fredo Bang?

00:27:19.960 Yeah.

00:27:20.520 You know Fredo Bang's real name?

00:27:22.200 Fredo Gibbons, by the way.

00:27:23.300 I know his real name.

00:27:24.080 It's Frederick Gibbons, guys.

00:27:26.080 Like that video, man.

00:27:28.420 Did there come a time after you got to the house of Fredo Bang that Courtland Henry showed up?

00:27:38.120 Yes.

00:27:39.500 Did Courtland Henry tell you what happened?

00:27:44.180 Yes, it was a driveway.

00:27:45.080 Okay, see?

00:27:47.360 When Courtland Henry arrived at Fredo Bang's house, was Melly there?

00:27:53.280 Yes.

00:27:57.060 Did you eventually leave that house?

00:27:59.500 Yes.

00:28:01.140 Approximately what time did you leave that house?

00:28:03.160 I don't remember.

00:28:05.080 Where'd you go?

00:28:05.960 I went to the Jimé's house.

00:28:06.920 Who went with you?

00:28:08.880 Me, Fredo Bang, Jacoby, and Fetty.

00:28:12.860 By the way, when you first learned that Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas were shot at the house with Melly, did anyone?

00:28:26.840 Yes, guys.

00:28:27.420 The prosecution did use Melly's documentary as evidence because in the documentary, it says Melly and his friends were killed by drive-by shooters, which put Melly at the scene.

00:28:36.920 So, yeah, interesting catch from you guys in the chat.

00:28:41.160 Get on the phone.

00:28:42.560 Yeah.

00:28:43.520 Did anyone have any problem locating the phone?

00:28:46.600 Yes.

00:28:47.120 Hey, guys, get your super chats in.

00:28:48.300 I'm going to start reading them here very soon.

00:28:49.800 So get them in if you want, and I'll answer questions and everything else like that.

00:28:52.840 Who was that?

00:28:54.120 Hello.

00:29:00.000 You, when I backed up for a minute, you were telling the jury that you went back to Melly's house.

00:29:06.240 You got any yes or no?

00:29:07.860 Oh, yes.

00:29:08.360 She can't say it.

00:29:09.040 Take time.

00:29:09.500 She's shaking your head.

00:29:12.280 How'd you get in?

00:29:13.220 The door is unlocked.

00:29:16.500 Were you aware whether or not Melly had a contractual agreement to do a video shoot that day?

00:29:22.900 Yeah, something like that.

00:29:24.200 I know he probably lost a lot of money if he didn't go to the video video.

00:29:26.820 He was upset.

00:29:29.520 Melly crying at the street at Frito Bank, huh?

00:29:32.480 Yes.

00:29:32.980 And you crying?

00:29:33.680 Yes.

00:29:33.960 All right.

00:29:43.280 The reason why this is important, guys, is because after they died, Melly shot a music video the next day,

00:29:48.100 and he got a lot of criticism for, like, not showing emotion when he was there.

00:29:51.820 So that's why the defense brought him up to show, no, Melly actually was distraught and sad.

00:29:56.880 You know, I witnessed it, blah, blah.

00:29:58.660 But he had to go to his music video because he had paid for it, and he would have lost a lot of money.

00:30:03.960 So they're trying to give Melly an out for why he didn't show emotion at the shoot.

00:30:07.380 Out.

00:30:12.660 And, guys, just so you know, he's not snitching.

00:30:15.540 Like, guys, don't be low IQ in the chat, man.

00:30:17.700 And as guys that watch Fed reacts, y'all should be better than the normal person when it comes to interpreting cases.

00:30:23.440 This guy's not snitching because he's on the stand actually trying to defend his friend.

00:30:26.860 He's not on the stand to snitch on Melly.

00:30:28.720 Remember, he's a defense witness, which is why he's been capping all over the place.

00:30:32.440 But, you know, this guy is definitely not a snitch.

00:30:35.660 Honestly, quite frankly, it's probably the opposite because he's on the stand right now.

00:30:39.500 I've already caught him in a few lies, so he might get hit with perjury after this.

00:30:42.980 So he's the opposite of snitching, man.

00:30:45.000 He's doing that Lil' Kim type shit.

00:30:46.360 Remember Lil' Kim lied under oath, and she ended up doing like a year in jail.

00:30:50.080 I think it was her and Remy Ma.

00:30:51.500 This dude's doing the same shit right now, trying to protect his friend.

00:30:53.640 Did you, in fact, tell this, what happened on October 25th and 26th to this particular prosecutor?

00:31:07.200 Yes.

00:31:08.340 Were any of these, any of us, any of the lawyers present?

00:31:11.560 Next one, now, man.

00:31:12.760 Next one.

00:31:13.040 Did you tell the prosecutor, when you spoke to the prosecutor, were you under oath?

00:31:23.700 Yes.

00:31:24.300 Sworn to tell the truth?

00:31:25.720 Yes.

00:31:26.920 Objection, comfortable, sir.

00:31:28.160 Stay.

00:31:34.500 Are you 100% sure that Mellie got into the red mint, the patient, to go home?

00:31:43.040 Yes.

00:31:43.600 Are you 100% sure that this young man learned of the shooting of his friends at the exact same time you learned of it?

00:31:51.340 Yes.

00:31:51.760 Okay, guys.

00:31:53.020 What y'all are experiencing, I know y'all might not see it now.

00:31:57.060 This is a critical moment in the trial.

00:31:59.500 The defense is trying to paint a picture that Mellie wasn't in the car.

00:32:05.200 He was with his friends the whole time.

00:32:06.600 And before the shooting happened, to some degree, Mellie got into Mitsubishi, so therefore he could not have been the shooter.

00:32:13.920 So this is a turning point right now.

00:32:16.520 So let's see what happens after this.

00:32:19.340 And that was at the house.

00:32:20.560 Yes.

00:32:20.760 Are you 100% sure that when people were getting on the phone, that this young man was looking for his phone to call people?

00:32:29.020 Yes.

00:32:32.160 May I have one more, please?

00:32:33.420 Yes.

00:32:33.560 Well, I'll give you this.

00:32:36.520 This lawyer is definitely earning his money, man.

00:32:41.240 I defer the questions.

00:32:43.040 All right, bam.

00:32:43.760 So defense is done.

00:32:44.500 Now we're probably going to get into prosecution cross-examination.

00:32:47.400 You know what time it is, baby!

00:32:50.740 Yo, this is about to be lit!

00:32:52.560 Are you cross-examination?

00:32:54.020 Yes, sir.

00:32:54.680 You ready to make your seat?

00:32:55.640 Thank you.

00:32:56.220 Mr. Gates, he's the director.

00:32:57.200 I'm 100% sure that Mr. Dennis found out.

00:33:00.620 All right.

00:33:01.060 Here we go.

00:33:01.860 Guys, just so you know, the woman's voice that's speaking right now is the prosecutor.

00:33:07.840 Let's get ready to rumble!

00:33:13.540 Yo!

00:33:16.740 No questions about that.

00:33:18.880 There she is right there.

00:33:19.900 That's the main prosecutor on this case.

00:33:21.480 Sure if you got that house?

00:33:22.400 Yes.

00:33:22.960 And you were upstairs?

00:33:25.020 Yes, ma'am.

00:33:25.480 He was downstairs?

00:33:26.180 Yes.

00:33:26.540 You're sure he was there.

00:33:27.280 You can see?

00:33:27.940 No.

00:33:28.560 Is that a yes?

00:33:29.260 Yes.

00:33:29.520 And you are 100% sure his phone was missing?

00:33:32.900 Yes.

00:33:33.720 Where in the statement on May 5th did you ever say that?

00:33:36.960 I'm not asking.

00:33:38.400 It was never asked.

00:33:40.520 Thank you.

00:33:41.680 Counselor, I guess the objection is improper impeachment, so we're crazy, but I just...

00:33:46.420 So, you have an opinion on May 5th, 2022, do you remember that?

00:33:50.720 Yes.

00:33:51.380 And you remember sitting down, you were present.

00:33:53.940 Okay, here we go.

00:33:55.400 So, I already know where she's going with this.

00:33:57.380 The police already interviewed this guy, guys, and he gave a different statement, kind of,

00:34:02.300 or he's alluding to something that he didn't disclose during the interview with the police.

00:34:05.780 So, what she's doing right now is she's attacking him with his prior statement when the police

00:34:09.920 interviewed him.

00:34:10.660 She's trying...

00:34:11.120 This is what you call trying to destroy a witness's credibility.

00:34:14.180 All right?

00:34:14.460 Let's watch this in real time, and I'll break it down for y'all.

00:34:16.580 Yes.

00:34:17.560 Your two attorneys were present that you brought?

00:34:19.420 Mm-hmm.

00:34:19.700 That's yes?

00:34:20.280 Yes.

00:34:20.800 And I asked you questions for quite a number of hours.

00:34:25.540 Do you remember that?

00:34:26.300 Yes.

00:34:26.740 Okay.

00:34:27.440 And do you remember being asked if you had met with anyone else with regards to this case?

00:34:33.360 Yes.

00:34:33.960 Okay.

00:34:34.320 Do you remember being asked if you had met prior to speaking with me with the attorney sitting

00:34:38.300 over to the middle of us?

00:34:39.640 Yes.

00:34:40.080 Okay.

00:34:40.400 I didn't know who they were, and my lawyers told you that.

00:34:43.420 Okay.

00:34:43.640 I didn't know their names.

00:34:44.760 But you remember being with them?

00:34:45.940 Yeah.

00:34:46.620 Okay.

00:34:47.300 And do you remember asking, being asked a question about what you talked about with

00:34:53.920 them?

00:34:55.160 Yes.

00:34:56.040 Did you remember what you told them?

00:34:57.420 No.

00:34:58.700 Do you remember what you told them?

00:35:00.500 Yes.

00:35:01.100 So are you telling Mr. Sherwin that when you were speaking with me, you forgot?

00:35:04.660 As in what I'm telling them now, as in right now, yes.

00:35:07.300 Okay.

00:35:07.940 So on the phone, on that, do you remember Mr. Devin's having passed on his phone on that?

00:35:14.100 I don't think so.

00:35:15.260 You don't think so.

00:35:17.580 And in terms of, would you be surprised if there was one on that cell phone?

00:35:23.100 No.

00:35:24.260 Do you remember passed on?

00:35:26.460 I don't think so.

00:35:28.100 I don't remember him for you, I don't know.

00:35:29.600 We all use this phone sometimes.

00:35:31.740 We all use each other's phones.

00:35:33.880 So you would use his cell phone?

00:35:36.740 Why?

00:35:38.280 Talk to females.

00:35:40.060 You're pretending he had...

00:35:40.980 That was easy.

00:35:43.780 To get them on your own?

00:35:47.820 Objection.

00:35:49.260 Think of it.

00:35:50.060 Yo, what the fuck is going on?

00:35:58.520 Yo.

00:35:59.940 You use Melly's phone?

00:36:01.060 Yeah.

00:36:01.520 For what?

00:36:02.080 Talk to girls?

00:36:02.780 Oh, is that because you can't get them on your own?

00:36:04.460 Bro.

00:36:05.060 What the...

00:36:05.700 Fatality.

00:36:06.380 Yo, this prosecutor's on some fucking demon time, bro.

00:36:09.940 What are you doing, lady?

00:36:13.420 Yo.

00:36:14.540 What the fuck?

00:36:15.740 Yo, that lawyer objected so fast.

00:36:21.260 He's like, objection!

00:36:23.280 She's trying to, you know, embarrass our fucking witness.

00:36:28.020 That lawyer said objection fast as hell, man.

00:36:30.860 He objected faster than YouTube banning you for talking about them boys in a certain event from the 1940s, if you know what I'm saying, man.

00:36:40.540 It's over.

00:36:41.300 Go ahead.

00:36:41.680 Answer your question.

00:36:42.420 All right.

00:36:42.580 Ask the next question.

00:36:43.240 That's it.

00:36:43.800 With regards to your living situation there, you were not paying any rent, right?

00:36:52.540 No, I'm not.

00:36:54.180 And nobody was paying any rent in that house except for the defendant.

00:36:57.640 Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

00:37:00.420 So, do you remember that evening driving to the studio?

00:37:05.140 Yes.

00:37:05.820 Do you remember who was in which car?

00:37:08.160 On the way there, yes.

00:37:09.380 Do you remember who was on each car on the way back?

00:37:12.640 Yes.

00:37:13.080 Yes.

00:37:13.580 Okay.

00:37:15.660 Are there any threats that were made to anyone, ma'am?

00:37:19.140 No, ma'am.

00:37:20.280 Does anyone have any other conversations or discussions about threats from council parties?

00:37:26.800 No, ma'am.

00:37:27.820 Is anyone worried about their safety?

00:37:30.180 No, ma'am.

00:37:31.800 But, ma'am, he's always going to be a target.

00:37:35.360 I'm sorry.

00:37:38.740 I said he's a record, so he's always going to be a target.

00:37:41.980 Okay.

00:37:43.760 All right, guys.

00:37:44.400 This is the woman that's typing up the court transcript.

00:37:46.360 That's why she has to make sure she understands everything being said so that she can keep it for the official record.

00:37:51.220 Kind of useless fact right there, but just you kind of get a deeper understanding of how the court system works.

00:37:55.640 That's why she keeps telling him, hey, if you say something, don't just do it physically.

00:37:59.680 Like, say it for the record.

00:38:00.960 You know, because if you nod like this, she can't report that in the court records.

00:38:04.200 And do you remember stopping on the side of the road?

00:38:09.480 Yes.

00:38:10.320 Where did you stop?

00:38:11.900 I don't remember.

00:38:14.320 It's like flashes and drinks and smoking, so I just know we stopped.

00:38:19.360 You know you stopped?

00:38:20.220 Yeah.

00:38:21.160 And do you remember if that was on a highway?

00:38:24.080 I don't know.

00:38:25.500 Okay, do you remember if it was on a divided four-lane road?

00:38:28.760 I don't know.

00:38:29.820 Do you remember if you guys were using GPS to get home?

00:38:33.100 I don't remember if you knew the route home.

00:38:38.620 Yeah, sorry, guys.

00:38:39.440 The audio is bad from them, and this woman isn't speaking up, but don't worry.

00:38:42.680 I'll, like, pause it and give y'all updates of what she's asking him.

00:38:45.300 But you guys kind of get the general idea.

00:38:47.060 She's grilling him on what he made, statements he made before, and his whereabouts.

00:38:52.640 Do you remember what phone number you had back then?

00:38:55.740 Phone number.

00:38:56.760 You don't remember your phone number?

00:38:58.840 Also, quick little tidbit.

00:39:00.220 Notice how he's mumbling now, but when he was talking to the defense attorney, he was clear.

00:39:04.040 That's a little weird, right?

00:39:06.420 About years ago, so.

00:39:07.720 Okay.

00:39:09.840 Do you remember if you were awake or asleep?

00:39:14.860 Just totally asleep.

00:39:16.820 When you sleep.

00:39:17.920 All right, so she's asking him, when you were awake or asleep?

00:39:20.120 Basically, in the Mitsubishi, like he had told the defense attorney.

00:39:22.560 You were asleep.

00:39:22.880 And you said you were intoxicated?

00:39:27.340 Yes.

00:39:29.700 Do you know why your car stopped?

00:39:31.700 No.

00:39:33.040 Do you have any conversations or messages with the defendant?

00:39:37.900 No, no.

00:39:38.860 Do you have a phone call with him?

00:39:42.200 No, no.

00:39:42.840 When you stopped, was it ready to be in front of the residents of the ship?

00:39:46.660 Yeah, I do.

00:39:48.380 Have you ever answered that question differently?

00:39:51.440 I don't think so.

00:39:53.520 If I were to show you your statement from May 5th, 2022, would that help you in answering

00:39:59.700 if you'd ever said something different than what you just said to her anymore?

00:40:03.220 Here we go.

00:40:04.580 She's trying to lock him now, baby.

00:40:07.620 Yeah, I'm talking to you.

00:40:08.720 All right, so she says approaching.

00:40:14.540 That means that she's about to show the witness what he actually said in the interview.

00:40:17.700 Now, guys, I want you to make this very clear.

00:40:20.480 It's not perjury if, you know, you're saying things that aren't all the way accurate, right?

00:40:25.540 It's got to be like a blatant lie that's, you know, you got to prove there's a little

00:40:28.320 bit of malice behind it, whatever.

00:40:29.520 So what she's going to do is she's going to show it to him to refresh his memory and give

00:40:33.260 him kind of one more chance to come clean, you know, because this is kind of sort of

00:40:37.440 perjury because they can make the argument that, yo, this was five years ago, bro.

00:40:41.380 Like, y'all expect me to remember everything I said five years ago?

00:40:44.280 So that's kind of why she's going this angle to refresh the memory.

00:40:47.360 This is called, like, refreshing the witness's memory.

00:40:50.080 That's, like, kind of the jargon they use in the legal world.

00:40:53.060 So now your answer is I don't remember if the tape was in front or if it's an issue.

00:41:17.200 If you watched the video they put off first, so there was an inferno.

00:41:24.040 Oh, so you watched the video?

00:41:26.780 You showed it to me.

00:41:28.460 In terms of the trial, have you been watching that online?

00:41:31.700 No, ma'am.

00:41:34.260 In terms of when you got home, you mentioned that you said Mr. Neiman went to his room.

00:41:42.200 Yes.

00:41:42.960 Have you ever answered that question differently?

00:41:44.860 No.

00:41:46.880 Okay.

00:41:49.380 On May 5th, 2022, remember that statement?

00:41:53.560 Mm-hmm.

00:41:54.540 At that point, did you say I don't know?

00:41:55.900 Here she goes again.

00:41:56.700 Now she's going to challenge him on a statement he made about YNW Melly going to his room,

00:42:00.320 and she's going to show what he actually said back in May 5th of 2022.

00:42:03.520 That's the day this guy was interviewed before.

00:42:06.400 I don't know where he's from.

00:42:07.420 I assume this room.

00:42:10.560 I don't know.

00:42:12.140 You don't know.

00:42:12.620 Did you make your statement help refresh your recollection on that?

00:42:15.840 Yes.

00:42:16.580 Okay.

00:42:17.160 Okay.

00:42:17.240 He's 34, lines 12 and 13 in the council.

00:42:26.720 Yeah.

00:42:27.640 Okay.

00:42:28.160 So did you previously get a different statement that you didn't know where he went,

00:42:31.720 and you were assuming he went to his room?

00:42:34.040 Yeah.

00:42:35.080 Thank you.

00:42:35.800 So it seems to me like he said in the interview, right, because you got to pick up on the little

00:42:45.420 things.

00:42:45.880 It seems to me like in the interview, he said he might have went to his room, but just a

00:42:49.460 second ago, and y'all saw it with your own eyes, he told the defense attorney, Melly

00:42:52.380 did go in his room.

00:42:53.160 So she's trying to attack his credibility, and also notice how she asked him, were you

00:42:56.660 drunk and high?

00:42:57.380 And he said yes.

00:42:58.220 So right now, she's trying to show that he wasn't sober.

00:43:01.800 He said one thing one time, but now he's sure all of a sudden he was drunk and high,

00:43:05.740 et cetera.

00:43:06.220 So this is her trying to slowly dismantle this guy's cred.

00:43:08.760 And with regards to being pushed over, did you wake up when that happened?

00:43:24.860 Like it was slash, like, I guess you could say I woke up.

00:43:28.780 Okay.

00:43:29.380 And did they move you over or climb over you?

00:43:33.720 I don't remember.

00:43:35.600 Have you ever made a statement different than I?

00:43:37.260 No.

00:43:38.760 I don't know.

00:43:40.420 I can't remember.

00:43:41.760 Okay.

00:43:42.220 Again, page 30.

00:43:43.640 Bruh.

00:43:44.240 I feel like I'm listening to fucking Whitesnake.

00:43:47.260 Here I go again on my own.

00:43:50.260 Every time she's like, oh, you said, oh, really?

00:43:52.500 Okay.

00:43:53.100 I'm going to bring you another one, and another one, and another one of these statements that

00:43:57.480 you made, man.

00:43:58.340 That dude is in the chair sweating right now.

00:44:02.180 Three.

00:44:03.180 Question was asked, did they climb over to get you to the middle of, over you to get to the

00:44:07.400 middle of the back seat?

00:44:08.060 Your answer was, I think I was at the window, so no.

00:44:11.740 I think that you might have climbed over.

00:44:14.720 Okay.

00:44:15.700 So is it your testimony that somebody climbed over you, or you pushed over?

00:44:21.540 Or that you don't remember?

00:44:22.680 Yeah, I don't remember.

00:44:24.360 You don't really remember.

00:44:25.120 Okay.

00:44:27.380 And in terms of the phone, right?

00:44:33.180 Did you see him get into that regime?

00:44:35.800 No.

00:44:37.080 For some of you guys that might not be aware of classic rock, search Whitesnake, Here I

00:44:41.660 Go Again, hit song from like 88 or something like that.

00:44:44.740 That's just what came to mind when she kept, you know, he's in the stand thinking like,

00:44:47.980 man, here I go again on my own, when she keeps grilling him.

00:44:51.460 You remember going to Frigo Bank's house?

00:45:02.380 Yes.

00:45:02.740 And you remember seeing the defendant there?

00:45:07.960 Is that a yes?

00:45:08.860 Yeah, he was there with us.

00:45:10.740 And you remember leaving there afterwards?

00:45:16.100 Yes.

00:45:16.620 And you remember going back to the defendant's house?

00:45:19.320 Yes.

00:45:19.800 And you remember at that point that when you went back to the defendant's house, there

00:45:24.860 was you, Frigion, Glass, or Fetty, and Jacobi Moss.

00:45:30.160 That's it?

00:45:31.380 Yes, I believe so.

00:45:33.120 Okay.

00:45:34.160 And you said that you were in that sleep and intoxicated.

00:45:40.980 Bro, this is more like living on a prayer.

00:45:43.440 We got to hold on to what we got.

00:45:49.180 It doesn't really matter if we make it or not.

00:45:52.500 We got each other.

00:45:54.440 And that's what, uh, how'd it go?

00:45:56.480 And that's enough for love.

00:45:58.700 Something like that.

00:45:59.800 We'll give it a shot.

00:46:01.800 Oh, we're halfway there.

00:46:05.220 Oh, living on a prayer.

00:46:08.580 Yo, this dude's on the stand singing that song in the back of his mind right now, man.

00:46:13.440 He got that man, Bon Jovi, going.

00:46:16.660 Living on a fucking prayer right now, man.

00:46:20.020 And in terms of the...

00:46:25.320 You remember that Trigion was the last person to get out of the parking?

00:46:30.400 Yeah, I believe so, yes.

00:46:31.840 You believe so or do you remember?

00:46:33.180 Which is it?

00:46:34.020 Yes.

00:46:35.820 And you know and you mentioned about Mr. Demons looking for a song, right?

00:46:42.860 Yes.

00:46:43.440 So, of course, he used your phone to call it and transplanted it, right?

00:46:47.160 I don't remember.

00:46:48.640 You don't remember how he was transplanted his phone?

00:46:50.520 He just said that.

00:46:51.200 And yes, guys, I know my singing sucks.

00:46:52.840 That's why I'm here talking to y'all niggas at fucking 1030 when no sleep.

00:46:57.940 If I could actually sing, I'd probably be, you know, banging some freaking musician, female musician out, man.

00:47:04.160 I was looking for it.

00:47:05.220 Like, you would do it if you lost yours.

00:47:06.640 So, he didn't, you know, try and do, find my iPhone or anything like that.

00:47:11.260 Of course, he used yours to do that, right?

00:47:13.240 I don't remember.

00:47:14.040 Of course, he used something like, you know, an Apple iWatch and set the option.

00:47:18.380 There's no testimony that he had.

00:47:20.340 I don't remember.

00:47:21.240 Excuse me.

00:47:22.780 Okay.

00:47:23.160 So, of course, he did all that.

00:47:28.740 He went on, find my iPhone, and he's looking for it.

00:47:32.600 I don't remember.

00:47:34.380 You don't remember.

00:47:35.080 Okay.

00:47:35.340 And of course, he is using everybody else's phone to try and find it.

00:47:40.200 I don't know.

00:47:41.060 You don't remember.

00:47:42.260 Okay.

00:47:43.520 But conveniently, the phone's missing, not only.

00:47:46.620 Objection to the phone.

00:47:47.480 Yes.

00:47:48.940 I sustained objection.

00:47:49.880 So, with regards to your conversation, you texted back and forth with the defendant prior to this event occurring, right?

00:48:01.160 Yes.

00:48:02.060 And he had sent you a picture of a driver's license from that phone number.

00:48:07.580 Yes.

00:48:08.260 So, you knew Mr. Demons, the defendant, to use that cell phone, 772-713-8807.

00:48:17.200 I want to know which number was the numbers.

00:48:19.880 Guys, just so you know, the reason why she's so hard on trying to, like, link Mellie to his phone is because the phone has a geolocation data that put where the crime scene was, contrary to what Bortland had told the police prior.

00:48:31.800 So, she needs to link the phone to Mellie, and that's why she's going through this line of questioning, trying to establish that Mellie texted you from this phone, correct?

00:48:38.160 So, that means it's his phone.

00:48:39.940 So, obviously, him, he's kind of, like, playing dumb and shit like that, but she's trying to tie the phone to Mellie.

00:48:44.740 Yes.

00:48:45.940 You haven't saved in your phone, right?

00:48:48.080 Yeah, but I can't just remember the phone number like that.

00:48:51.520 And you's testimony is that he's looking all the best.

00:48:58.380 Yeah.

00:48:58.660 So, in terms of the phone, did you see it again, that's it?

00:49:05.360 I don't remember.

00:49:07.380 Don't remember.

00:49:08.160 Okay.

00:49:08.960 And in terms of the phone traveling up to the video shoot up in Cocoa, you don't have a phone come up there.

00:49:19.960 I don't remember.

00:49:20.620 And you didn't shoot Mr. Williams or Mr. Thomas, right?

00:49:27.740 I don't remember.

00:49:28.700 But you know who we're talking about, right?

00:49:31.620 Chris and Anthony.

00:49:33.780 Yes.

00:49:35.020 And in terms of the...

00:49:38.400 Chris and Anthony are two victims.

00:49:41.400 Messages and things for Mr. Henry.

00:49:44.900 You're aware that his phone was broken at that time, right?

00:49:48.460 I don't know.

00:49:49.800 You don't know?

00:49:50.620 Yeah, I don't know.

00:49:52.000 In terms of Mr. Demons, do you know he was dating Mariah Hamilton?

00:49:56.340 I don't know.

00:49:57.080 Okay.

00:49:57.480 And you know that Mr. Demons would FaceTime for a regular objection?

00:50:01.460 It's an objection.

00:50:02.460 There's no evidence of that.

00:50:04.380 I don't know.

00:50:06.400 So, you know that Mr. Demons would...

00:50:08.820 Excuse me, the use of the correct name.

00:50:11.720 Mr. Demons, my apologies.

00:50:13.580 Mr. Demons would FaceTime and video chat.

00:50:17.420 That's pretty well.

00:50:18.720 You just have to go and chat for something.

00:50:20.780 You got to follow him for it.

00:50:38.380 Thank you.

00:50:38.900 no ma'am and so the first time that you ever said anything about from being missing was today

00:50:45.620 july 18 23. yes i believe so okay nothing further yet okay questions are you regret

00:50:55.820 all right the defense is done now sorry the prosecution's done questioning him now it's up

00:52:02.240 very much you may step down your excuse

00:52:03.860 all right we wouldn't at this time i mean that didn't really do too much but hey it is what it is

00:52:13.160 you can see that this dude's down for the cause with melly

00:52:15.040 i need a few minutes uh with the attorneys do not discuss the case don't film any opinion about

00:52:21.100 case don't allow anyone to discuss the case in your presence certainly no research

00:52:24.420 all right just leave no bed under here thank you

00:52:27.340 all right

00:52:42.360 uh

00:52:46.840 um

00:52:50.940 you

00:52:57.340 Thank you.

00:52:59.740 The jury stepped out.

00:53:02.340 Counselor Mayne, along with the defendant.

00:53:05.820 And I guess, Mr. Demons, I need to talk to you, ask you two questions, all right?

00:53:15.620 You've heard what your attorney said.

00:53:17.400 He said he's arrested.

00:53:20.600 No further witnesses.

00:53:21.860 Do you hear that?

00:53:23.420 Okay, so that's big.

00:53:24.820 That pretty much means the trial's probably over, guys.

00:53:28.480 All right, now, I don't know what discussion you had with him.

00:53:32.860 They're probably going to send the jury to deliberate here in a bit.

00:53:35.200 But I think he's trying to tell Mellie, hey, just so you know, all the witnesses are gone.

00:53:38.700 This is probably going to be the end of the case.

00:53:39.900 Is there anything else you want to do?

00:53:40.800 So let's see what he says.

00:53:43.360 Your attorneys, you've got a competent order here.

00:53:46.480 I mean, you've seen them perform here.

00:53:48.060 You've discussed things with them, I assume, correct?

00:53:50.480 Yes, sir.

00:53:50.920 And you understand that you have a right to testify, and you also have a right not to testify.

00:53:58.600 Do you understand?

00:53:59.020 Okay, so he's giving him his last chance to take the stand right now.

00:54:02.300 Yes, sir.

00:54:03.220 Do you understand that if you do testify, I'm going to instruct the jury that they have to consider your testimony as they would any other witness.

00:54:12.080 Do you understand that?

00:54:12.920 Yes, sir.

00:54:13.380 All right, let's see.

00:54:41.940 Y'all think he's going to take the stand?

00:54:43.140 Let's see what he says here.

00:54:44.400 What is your decision?

00:54:45.560 Give me ones if you guys think he's going to take the stand.

00:54:47.720 Say twos if you think he's not going to take the stand.

00:54:50.700 I will not be testifying.

00:54:52.340 You will not be testifying.

00:54:54.020 Yes, sir.

00:54:54.780 Spoke too soon.

00:54:55.640 Never mind.

00:54:56.580 He ain't testifying.

00:54:57.460 Anyone forcing you or coercing you to make this decision?

00:55:00.640 No, sir.

00:55:01.340 Anybody make any promises or on the contrary make any threats to get you not to testify?

00:55:08.580 No, sir.

00:55:09.020 And to be honest, guys, it's almost suicide most of the time to take the stand and testify when you're the defendant in a case.

00:55:16.440 The only time it's acceptable to take the stand, guys, in a criminal investigation is when it's self-defense.

00:55:21.940 That's the one time I've seen taking the stand actually could work in your favor.

00:55:26.940 You're free and voluntary decision?

00:55:29.260 Yes, sir.

00:55:29.700 So let me go further.

00:55:33.800 You heard your attorney said the arrest is not going to call any other witness.

00:55:37.560 That includes you, but no other witnesses.

00:55:40.440 Do you understand that?

00:55:41.300 Yes, sir.

00:55:41.840 Is there any other witnesses that you want your attorneys to call or present to the jury?

00:55:46.680 No, sir.

00:55:47.200 All right, guys, the reason why he's doing this is he's trying to show that, hey, Mellie, do you feel like your lawyers did a good job?

00:55:59.600 Do you think they were competent, blah, blah, blah?

00:56:00.860 Because he's got to make sure that if Mellie's found guilty or innocent, that he doesn't feel like he got slighted by justice, you know what I mean, by the law.

00:56:08.860 So that's why he's asking all these questions.

00:56:12.760 Are you good and satisfied with your performance?

00:56:14.580 But these lawyers did a good job.

00:56:15.600 I ain't going to lie to y'all.

00:56:16.300 Watching the trial and shit, like, they did a pretty good job.

00:56:18.540 But I'm going to show you actually a clip that went down before this where this defense attorney was cross-examining the lead detective.

00:56:25.100 He did a damn good job.

00:56:26.120 Even though, you know, they got to pull at strings and shit like that, but that's the defense attorney's job.

00:56:30.200 And clearly, these guys are probably pretty good, which is why he hired them.

00:56:35.160 You know, this ain't no public defender type bullshit.

00:56:36.960 These are probably higher-priced hip-hop attorneys.

00:56:39.340 As a matter of fact, I think these lawyers are the ones that Boozy recommended to Mellie, if I'm not mistaken.

00:56:43.840 They might have been involved in getting Boozy off the death penalty.

00:56:47.520 So, Chad confirmed it for me, but I'm almost certain that one of these lawyers, if not all of them, helped Boozy get off murder, which is why he recommended them to Mellie.

00:56:55.240 Performance?

00:56:56.900 Yes, sir.

00:56:58.060 All right.

00:56:58.440 And everything that you wanted the jury to hear and listen to is before the jury.

00:57:04.660 Is that right?

00:57:05.400 Yes, sir.

00:57:08.500 Thank you, sir.

00:57:10.740 Let me ask you.

00:57:12.420 I ain't gonna lie to y'all, man.

00:57:15.280 What do y'all, take a look at his face, man.

00:57:16.900 What do you guys think in the chat?

00:57:18.840 What do you guys think at this point is going through his mind?

00:57:21.640 The state, are you going to call any other witnesses?

00:57:26.080 No, no, no.

00:57:27.440 So, the state's going to arrest as well?

00:57:30.340 Yes, sir.

00:57:33.120 What happened with Mr. Brennan Collins?

00:57:35.280 He's not going to be used, I guess?

00:57:37.460 No, sir.

00:57:37.980 He emailed me last night saying that they were not going to be calling him.

00:57:43.220 He can be excused.

00:57:44.160 I forwarded that email from Mr. Collins.

00:57:46.400 Yeah, guys.

00:57:47.020 I mean, I think he knows that this is going to be L for him, guys.

00:57:49.780 You know, and remember, this is coming from a guy that actually liked Melly's music,

00:57:53.560 so I'm not a hater.

00:57:54.900 I can see in his face, I think he knows that this is going to be L in the worst part, guys.

00:58:00.420 If he gets found guilty, they're going to put him to death, guys.

00:58:03.480 Like, he's more than likely going to be put to death if they find him guilty.

00:58:08.000 So, yeah.

00:58:10.900 This is the highest stakes that you can be in in your life.

00:58:13.560 Both sides have rested.

00:58:15.560 That's right.

00:58:16.980 And now the pleasure is we can talk about the jury instruction, but what about the closing argument?

00:58:26.040 We're going to do that on Thursday?

00:58:28.220 Yes, sir.

00:58:29.340 Okay.

00:58:29.820 So they're scheduling the closing arguments, guys, and that's pretty much the final straw.

00:58:33.960 But we're done with the witnesses.

00:58:35.240 Now the defense and the prosecution are going to make their final – think of it as like a thesis statement that summarizes all the strengths of their side

00:58:42.960 while simultaneously hiding all the weaknesses of the other side.

00:58:46.120 So in this case, the prosecution is going to put holes in they don't have a murder weapon.

00:58:50.940 They had a witness that saw Melly go into the house and he wasn't there with them.

00:58:54.200 They're going to put in the fact that, you know, multiple people were using the phone.

00:58:58.700 Melly has good character.

00:58:59.720 He would never kill these people.

00:59:01.260 There was no motive.

00:59:02.240 They weren't arguing for the thing.

00:59:03.520 They're going to come up with – like they're going to make all these arguments, right?

00:59:06.520 They're going to say how the prosecution's detective was biased.

00:59:08.980 He didn't, you know, investigate everyone thoroughly.

00:59:11.820 The text messages they used, like where Melly's admitting to things, he didn't spell the word that correctly, shit like that.

00:59:19.540 And then the prosecution is going to show, look, we have this geolocation data.

00:59:22.160 There's no other way that it – you know, this could have went down if it wasn't for Melly because the bullets hit this side.

00:59:26.900 But Portland said the drive-through bullets came from the opposite side.

00:59:30.920 None of this makes sense, blah, blah, blah.

00:59:31.960 So each party is going to present their side while simultaneously showing how the other side is weak.

00:59:36.500 So I'll tell the jury that come back Thursday.

00:59:39.380 That's what the parties agreed to.

00:59:41.080 So I'll be in Columbia by Thursday, guys.

00:59:43.240 But let's see.

00:59:43.680 If I got a good internet connection, I'll live stream the closing arguments for y'all.

00:59:47.100 And Tom will pack a bag.

00:59:49.780 And Tom and Gary, you're going to talk to the jury about that?

00:59:54.040 So, guys, realistically speaking, we might have a verdict by Thursday depending on how fast the jury comes back with a decision.

01:00:01.360 Because they'll probably do closing arguments.

01:00:03.260 That'll probably take, like, a couple hours.

01:00:04.940 And then they're going to send the jury to deliberate.

01:00:06.620 We might have an answer before this weekend, guys, of what's going to happen to Melly.

01:00:09.040 This isn't really important.

01:00:31.100 They're just, like, talking about admin shit right now.

01:00:33.420 Let's fast forward to where they're at now.

01:00:34.700 Okay, they're on a short break.

01:00:37.840 We tried to show with a portion of this.

01:00:40.440 Yeah.

01:00:43.200 All right, they're probably going to start summarizing here.

01:00:51.060 Bear with me here, guys.

01:00:52.200 Okay.

01:00:57.100 Or wrong ruling.

01:00:58.520 Drive by shooting.

01:00:59.440 Proves at the end.

01:01:00.400 The whole tape coming in with this.

01:01:02.760 So.

01:01:04.700 Thank you.

01:01:07.500 Wow.

01:01:08.200 So the judge, Bob Hiller, denied the whole tape coming in where the state argued two minutes of it proved that the ending was a sort of a confession when they said there was a drive by shooting indicating that Melly had to be in the car.

01:01:22.520 Right ruling or wrong ruling, Bob Hiller?

01:01:25.220 I have a feeling the judge just gave the defense on appeal a gift.

01:01:30.620 You know, there was, in the state's case, a segment of this filming that was used, really, to advance the state's theory that this killing was motivated by some sort of gang relationship.

01:01:48.300 And that what they excerpted.

01:01:51.020 Guys, get your chats in now, because I'm about to start reading them here very soon after we kind of go through this recap.

01:01:55.260 And, guys, we only got, we got about 1,500 of y'all in here.

01:01:57.820 Do me a favor.

01:01:58.320 Like the video, man.

01:01:59.000 I still haven't slept giving y'all this fire content, man.

01:02:01.340 From this suggested that.

01:02:03.020 Bam, that's from the documentary I told you guys.

01:02:06.240 Look, it puts him right at the scene.

01:02:07.580 Four days after the completion of this film, YWM and his friends were the targets of drive-by shooting Miami, Florida.

01:02:12.220 Bro.

01:02:12.980 Boom, Boka!

01:02:13.860 So that contradicts what that dude said on the stand.

01:02:16.680 Showed a gang affiliation.

01:02:18.320 And, you know, again, I think the defense made all the correct arguments.

01:02:25.660 And the judge's obligation is to make sure that the jury gets the evidence accurately and fairly.

01:02:33.760 And if the state is introducing, and remember, the state introduced it, and the argument that, well, we can't cross-examine.

01:02:41.560 Well, you can cross-examine some of the people in the video.

01:02:44.300 You can cross-examine the people who were the producers of that video.

01:02:47.760 You can't cross-examine the defendant, certainly, if the defendant doesn't take the stand.

01:02:53.260 But, you know, again, so I'm perplexed at why the court felt that somehow this was injecting an issue into the case that wasn't in the case,

01:03:02.520 or that it was somehow going to mislead the jury unfairly from what the state already tried to show with a portion of this.

01:03:10.500 Yeah, probably the judge thought that the view of the prosecution, that Mellie could show himself in a very,

01:03:16.820 Jamel Demons, that is, in a very good light, without having to take the stand.

01:03:20.960 And Bob Hillis says that is a major appealable error should Mr. Demons get convicted.

01:03:26.340 Anyhow, we're going to take a quick break.

01:03:27.680 On the other side, more of the Y&W Mellie case, defenses in their case.

01:03:31.940 Stay with us.

01:03:32.620 All right, all right.

01:03:41.980 So, guys, this is what we're going to do.

01:03:43.500 I'm going to play a video for y'all, okay, that summarizes the last one.

01:03:48.400 This comes from Cuff Boys.

01:03:49.340 Not a bad video here.

01:03:50.940 Kind of summarized the last one because the last trial day was, like, pretty explosive.

01:03:57.140 So, this summarizes it.

01:04:00.820 The Y&W Mellie murder trial got interesting today.

01:04:03.640 Prosecutor shows a self-incriminating...

01:04:05.060 Shout out to Cuff Boys, by the way.

01:04:06.960 And I'm going to be fast-forwarding through this.

01:04:08.260 I'm just going to get it because he has a lot of the good clips that I think got taken off the Law & Order network.

01:04:13.400 ...aiding message between Mellie and another rapper the morning...

01:04:15.800 So, look at this.

01:04:17.120 The day of the murder, right?

01:04:18.220 You see here, 2018, 10-16, October 26th, 2018.

01:04:21.740 Boom.

01:04:22.420 I did that.

01:04:23.140 ...after the murders.

01:04:30.240 Then, Mellie's lawyer cross-examines the lead detective, Moretti, about how he conducted the investigation and other potential suspects for around two hours.

01:04:37.700 And it gets pretty intense, boys.

01:04:39.040 So, sadly, the rest of the stream got deleted for whatever reason.

01:04:42.120 It's nowhere on YouTube.

01:04:43.620 So, this is all we get for the day.

01:04:45.160 Subscribe.

01:04:45.580 Yeah, and that's why I'm using his video because he actually has the key parts in this video.

01:04:50.800 But now, let's get right into this.

01:04:51.840 I did that with a smiley emoji.

01:04:54.420 The infamous...

01:04:55.720 BUMBOKA!

01:04:57.000 Miss, I did that message to, uh, PZ Gambino, another rapper.

01:05:01.240 And then he says, uh, shush, right after.

01:05:03.520 BUMBOKA!

01:05:06.180 From the PZ Gambino account.

01:05:08.220 The PZ Gambino account asked him if he was okay.

01:05:11.020 And his response was, I did that and placed a smiley face emoji after that.

01:05:16.240 S-H-H-H-H-H.

01:05:19.320 What?

01:05:22.620 Bruh.

01:05:23.640 Clean out a good look.

01:05:24.740 Not a good look for Melly to say, I did that shush.

01:05:26.840 We don't have to...

01:05:27.340 But watch what the defense attorney does.

01:05:29.180 He actually does something really clever here, guys.

01:05:31.500 Full context, as we've seen in other conversations throughout this trial, that once they add the full conversation, it's like, oh, well, that could be perceived a different way.

01:05:39.640 Iffy, but to a jury, that could be important.

01:05:41.840 Oh, Melly's lawyer's about to come up now and talk about this.

01:05:44.140 Let's see how they approach this, because this is a self-snitching message, let's be honest.

01:05:47.820 But we don't know the full context.

01:05:48.980 Point to where I did that.

01:05:53.300 Is that correct?

01:05:54.160 And how do you spell that?

01:05:56.740 T-H-A-T?

01:05:58.100 Okay.

01:05:58.820 Let's point out this.

01:05:59.440 And y'all can see this was right after the murder, which is why they assumed that he meant that as far as, like, killing his friends.

01:06:04.860 Spelling of the way Melly spelled the word that.

01:06:07.320 Coming from 9807, the phone.

01:06:09.240 T-H-A-T, that.

01:06:11.720 Correct?

01:06:12.220 Correct.

01:06:12.640 This is coming from the 9807 that the state has entered.

01:06:16.140 Now, guys, you guys remember that we went through hours of Melly's text messages, right?

01:06:19.780 And we saw how he texted, et cetera.

01:06:21.380 And he spelled, he had a lot of misspellings, doesn't write type shit all the way, a lot of grammar issues.

01:06:26.100 So it's actually going to work in his favor and see what this lawyer does.

01:06:28.940 Really smart, man.

01:06:30.160 These lawyers are pretty damn good.

01:06:31.500 There's thousands of pages indicating that it belongs, or it's a phone that Melly uses, correct?

01:06:40.140 Correct.

01:06:40.560 Page one of defense exhibit.

01:06:42.920 Coming from 9807.

01:06:44.660 Will you tell the jury how he spells that, that, D-A-T?

01:06:48.220 D-A-T.

01:06:48.680 I had a feeling he was going to say, Melly spells that differently.

01:06:52.700 It says D-A-T.

01:06:53.700 Will you tell the jury how he spells that, D-A-T?

01:06:57.060 D-A-T.

01:06:57.920 Not T-H-A-T.

01:06:59.600 D-A-T.

01:07:00.300 Correct?

01:07:00.840 Right.

01:07:01.320 Page three.

01:07:02.880 Coming up.

01:07:04.240 Pretty clever, man.

01:07:05.300 I'll give him that.

01:07:07.420 Out of 9807.

01:07:09.020 How does he spell that, D-A-T?

01:07:11.800 So when Melly spells the word...

01:07:14.620 Melly's inability to spell properly and poor grammar might actually save him here.

01:07:19.800 I think this is the first time where Hooked Out Phonics was actually not good for you.

01:07:24.860 ...or that.

01:07:26.160 You want me to go through all 19 pages, or would you take my word that every time, every time,

01:07:30.580 coming out in 9807, that's attributed to this young man that's writing the message.

01:07:35.240 He does not spell it T-H-A-T, but T-A-T.

01:07:38.780 Would you like to look through him?

01:07:39.880 No, sir.

01:07:40.180 Like, you're asking me to explain that the one moment he decided to use proper grammar.

01:07:44.040 One moment.

01:07:45.260 These phones messages sitting there.

01:07:48.000 Where he said that, T-H-A-T, was on Instagram, I believe.

01:07:51.560 And he's trying to cast out and show that there was a difference between the way he was spelling

01:07:55.520 on the cell phone and the Instagram.

01:07:57.280 I think he's just trying to hint that it could have been someone else on his Instagram account.

01:08:00.920 Like, maybe his manager talking.

01:08:02.340 Like, just trying to cast doubt, confuse the jury, honestly.

01:08:05.040 These phone messages that the state introduced sitting on this page.

01:08:09.120 And that's his job as defense attorney guys to cast out.

01:08:11.500 It's not necessarily to, you know, it's not necessarily to, like, get you off.

01:08:16.360 It's to get the prosecution to not be taken seriously.

01:08:18.860 They just got to muddy the waters a bit.

01:08:20.620 That's the defense attorney's job.

01:08:22.740 Pages that we painfully went through.

01:08:25.680 He spells it D-A-T, not T-H-A-T, except for this one occasion, right?

01:08:32.780 Correct.

01:08:33.240 What a...

01:08:34.320 Pretty quick.

01:08:35.160 I ain't gonna lie, man.

01:08:35.980 The lawyer's earning his salary now.

01:08:39.820 What a strange...

01:08:40.680 I'm sorry, Jeff.

01:08:42.060 I apologize.

01:08:42.840 Somewhat unusual, wouldn't you think?

01:08:45.520 Three people in his car, correct?

01:08:48.700 Yes.

01:08:49.420 Was Anthony Williams.

01:08:51.040 Yes.

01:08:51.320 And sitting in the rear passenger seat was Christopher Thomas.

01:08:55.340 Yes.

01:08:56.260 Only those three people when the shooting occurred.

01:09:01.280 Correct?

01:09:01.820 Correct.

01:09:02.320 That's what Cortland said.

01:09:03.300 And if you guys remember, the CCTV footage that we looked at earlier, again, or actually,

01:09:07.920 I'll just show y'all this one more time.

01:09:09.880 Here's the visual that they're talking about.

01:09:11.200 Bortland, Mellie.

01:09:12.440 This is Williams, a.k.a.

01:09:13.480 Sack Chaser.

01:09:14.140 And then this is, I think, Thomas or Thompson in the back here.

01:09:19.440 YNW Juvie.

01:09:21.320 ...turns that he lied to you about where the drive-by shooting was, correct?

01:09:28.780 Yes.

01:09:29.440 You went to, what, three different areas to look for evidence?

01:09:32.900 And keep in mind, guys, the prosecution did not call YNW Bortland to the stand.

01:09:38.140 They probably felt like they had a strong case without him.

01:09:40.960 So, and I remember if you guys have been watching this, I've been telling y'all, if the prosecution

01:09:44.340 feels like they're iffy, they're going to bring Bortland on the stand because he's been

01:09:47.580 out on bond all this time.

01:09:48.700 And there's no way he could have been out on bond without, again, some kind of deal.

01:09:52.820 Meanwhile, Mellie's been locked up the whole time.

01:09:54.740 ...by a Portland, what Portland Henry told you, correct?

01:09:58.040 Yes.

01:09:58.480 You learned at that time that at first he was labeled a victim, but that he now is lying

01:10:05.220 to the police concerning the shooting of two individuals.

01:10:09.800 He was still listed as a victim that day.

01:10:11.460 I mean, and guys, do me a favor.

01:10:13.540 There's over 1,500 of you guys in here now.

01:10:15.340 Can you guys do me a favor?

01:10:16.660 Like the video, man.

01:10:17.980 I haven't slept yet.

01:10:18.780 We're going hard.

01:10:19.460 This is my third podcast of the day.

01:10:22.020 We're grinding for y'all, man.

01:10:23.020 So all I ask is that you like the video.

01:10:24.240 You don't got to donate a dollar.

01:10:25.580 Glenn did show up to the hospital with two dead bodies and gunshot residue on his hands.

01:10:29.660 Any lawyers going to try to be like, yo, what about this guy?

01:10:31.820 Like, how do you know for sure that it wasn't this guy driving the car and not my defendant?

01:10:35.500 You're reaching a little bit now, but hey, this is what they pay them the big bucks for.

01:10:50.940 Their job is to divert your attention from the actual case, you know, and the evidence.

01:10:57.300 Yes.

01:10:57.740 So he chose not to arrest him because he probably wasn't sure at that point in time if he lied for sure or not.

01:11:08.180 Yeah.

01:11:08.420 I mean, these detectives go into this with no information, zero.

01:11:11.920 So we know a lot more information now.

01:11:13.660 So now we're going to like think that we will skip the 16 million bank account thing.

01:11:16.980 Because what they were trying to say is that, you know, that the police were threatening his manager 100 track.

01:11:24.140 From a crucial online.

01:11:26.880 Yes.

01:11:27.280 And that text message was the driver of the car that lied to you and now he lived and you had the address at the same time.

01:11:36.160 Yes.

01:11:36.740 You also learned about that time and you mentioned it briefly.

01:11:39.660 And guys, keep in mind, the defense is trying to attack YMW Portland now because they want to get Melly off.

01:11:44.820 A text message came out from a crucial online.

01:11:49.560 Yes.

01:11:50.300 And that text message was we were just aiming at YMW.

01:11:53.920 Correct.

01:11:54.380 Yes.

01:11:54.520 And it had a picture of him with a target.

01:11:58.000 Correct.

01:11:58.580 Yes, sir.

01:11:58.920 So it would be fair to say on October 26, his real name was David Hedgehead.

01:12:04.120 Well, that's suspect number one.

01:12:05.000 All right.

01:12:05.220 So a guy pretty much took credit for killing Melly's friends on Instagram.

01:12:09.860 And what this defense attorney is trying to do is he's trying to say, well, this detective was so focused on Melly that he didn't even do an objective investigation and run down all the leads.

01:12:20.040 You had other people taking credit for the crime.

01:12:22.440 So that's what he's trying to show here.

01:12:23.540 But obviously, you know, here on this side of the internet, you guys already know how it is.

01:12:27.120 If you get involved in some shooting and a big rapper is tied to it, a lot of idiots are going to cloud chase and put themselves behind it.

01:12:33.080 How many times have you seen an idiot, right, on like Smack DVD or YouTube or doing some dumb shit?

01:12:38.340 Smack DVD, I'm showing my age now.

01:12:39.440 But, you know, they got the chains and they're over here.

01:12:41.640 Yeah, bro, keep getting your shit.

01:12:42.760 And they're barefaced and shit.

01:12:44.140 Like, bro, everyone is trying to get a lick on a rapper.

01:12:46.980 So it's plausible that this could potentially happen.

01:12:52.760 Where people would try to take cloud and the detective should have, you know, went ahead and followed up on that lead.

01:12:56.760 But the defense saying he didn't.

01:12:58.900 Based upon that, it was a person interested in something to look at.

01:13:01.740 He's suddenly just bringing up other potential suspects.

01:13:04.380 When did you decide to talk to the data who said he shot at this young man inside a Jeep?

01:13:11.340 What day?

01:13:12.000 The first day, a search warrant, his social media account, where he came from, which then he was able to determine a better picture of Mr. Commissioner.

01:13:19.940 Yeah, so he put this on Instagram, guys.

01:13:21.880 The detective subpoenaed his Instagram, then went and talked to him.

01:13:24.760 Hedgepest was probably maybe two years later when we interviewed Mr. Hedgepest.

01:13:28.080 Okay.

01:13:29.080 That's important.

01:13:29.840 He made this confession two years after the murders, guys.

01:13:34.940 So typically, if you're trying to claim, you know, credit for a murder, especially of like, you know, people associated to a rapper, you'd want to do it right after the fact.

01:13:43.660 So you could argue both.

01:13:44.680 You could argue he just didn't want heat on himself and he felt like he got away with it after two years.

01:13:48.000 Or you could say that he's just a dummy.

01:13:51.600 But either way, it is strange that he would come out with it two years later.

01:13:54.440 Two years later.

01:13:55.940 Or he didn't want heat on himself.

01:13:57.900 That's why he did it two years later.

01:13:58.920 A year after this young man surrenders to you, to the police?

01:14:02.300 I'm not sure of the exact date, but February of 19th.

01:14:06.080 Would you agree it was two years after that?

01:14:08.380 Yes, sir.

01:14:08.960 That is a little late.

01:14:10.440 I mean, if the guy's tweeting shit or posting shit on social media saying he shot at YNW or whatever, that is like, why are you doing that two years later?

01:14:17.540 Or better yet, Cuff Boys, I don't know if you know this one.

01:14:21.320 It could be that he got paid off to fucking take it, man.

01:14:26.100 It could have been that they just paid him to like, be like, yo, say this crazy shit on the Internet, you know, and let's try to get some heat off Melly.

01:14:33.120 I feel like you should get that done in the first few months.

01:14:35.460 I mean, just to like X about.

01:14:38.000 And I say that because there was a lot of talk of bribery with witnesses on this case, guys.

01:14:41.280 And when did you subpoena those workers?

01:14:43.800 Two years later, as we interviewed him.

01:14:45.580 And I think you interviewed him.

01:14:46.640 Did you speak to any of his co-employees to verify whether or not he was really working when the time clock indicated he was?

01:14:56.480 Yes, sir.

01:14:57.180 Lori probably wasn't hoping he was going to say yes to that question.

01:15:00.480 That they were having a problem with a guy named Bettany.

01:15:04.580 Yes, sir.

01:15:05.100 I'm going to label him as suspect number two.

01:15:07.220 Who is Bettany?

01:15:08.360 You never could identify him.

01:15:09.320 Never identified someone they were leaving him with.

01:15:12.060 Again, he's just doing his job, trying to cast out.

01:15:14.920 You also learned that there was a problem at Walmart.

01:15:17.580 They got jumped.

01:15:18.400 And a necklace or bracelet was stolen.

01:15:20.840 A little pendant fell off on it, yes.

01:15:22.940 Did you go to Walmart to investigate that?

01:15:27.000 Yes, sir.

01:15:27.660 By October 27th, you identified Cortland Henry.

01:15:31.580 Anthony Williams.

01:15:32.480 Yes, sir.

01:15:33.180 Christopher Thomas.

01:15:34.380 Yes, sir.

01:15:35.620 Trevon Glass.

01:15:36.720 Yes, sir.

01:15:37.260 Melly.

01:15:37.820 Yes, sir.

01:15:38.140 Toby Mills.

01:15:39.060 Octavius Withers.

01:15:39.880 Octavius Withers.

01:15:40.860 And Adrian Davis.

01:15:42.760 All eight people that left the recording studio.

01:15:45.300 And you had observed the bloody scene of Inside the Jeep, correct?

01:15:50.340 Correct.

01:15:50.780 And you knew that Cortland Henry had lied to you.

01:15:53.700 Correct.

01:15:54.160 And you had obtained a search warrant to look at that house to see if you could find any

01:16:00.480 blood, any gun, or anything.

01:16:03.500 What happened in that car, correct?

01:16:05.160 There is no way we could have a search warrant for that house because there was no nexus to

01:16:08.320 the crime to the house.

01:16:09.920 Now you have to establish a nexus between the two or the judges will not sign the warrant.

01:16:13.380 Did you even try, sir, to get a search warrant and go in front of a judge and say, I got eight

01:16:18.800 people who left the studio.

01:16:20.540 They all live in the same house.

01:16:21.980 The driver of the vehicle we interviewed lied.

01:16:25.300 And the inside of the Jeep is covered in blood.

01:16:27.560 And we're looking for the gun, our guns, and the bloody clothes involved in this.

01:16:32.000 Did you find it?

01:16:32.380 Bam.

01:16:32.700 So they're trying to pin everything on Portland, guys.

01:16:34.880 Okay.

01:16:35.560 Even though this is kind of far-fetched, because as we know, the wound patterns are more indicative

01:16:39.000 of the gunshots coming from the back, left side of the car.

01:16:42.000 He's, you know, he's trying to say, hey, my client didn't do it.

01:16:45.120 What did you do next, sir?

01:16:46.400 So like I said before, there was no connection between the house and the crime itself.

01:16:50.920 Where we had blood, where we had evidence, where we had instruments of a crime, we did search

01:16:56.300 marks.

01:16:56.720 And the time we had a nexus between the two, we did a search mark.

01:16:59.000 You could have secured that house by officers standing in front of it, and at least come

01:17:03.020 to this jury and say, I went to a judge, explain to the judge, eight people live in the house,

01:17:07.840 eight people left the studio, and a few hours later, two people ended up dead, and the driver

01:17:12.120 of the vehicle lied to us.

01:17:13.580 All right, guys, so this is a good cross-examination.

01:17:15.300 This is actually a very good example of a defense attorney properly cross-examining law enforcement

01:17:21.460 and trying to poke holes in their investigation.

01:17:24.980 About everything concerning the shooting.

01:17:27.140 You could have done that, could you?

01:17:28.080 That's not how it works, sir.

01:17:29.280 Not how it works.

01:17:30.200 Fair enough.

01:17:30.940 The house where Mellie lived?

01:17:32.360 No, sir.

01:17:33.140 How about December?

01:17:34.100 They were already gone at that point.

01:17:35.420 Traces of blood, because we saw that you sprayed this agent on things, and miraculously

01:17:40.740 blood surfaces.

01:17:42.000 You know that.

01:17:42.740 Yes, sir.

01:17:43.400 Did you do that?

01:17:44.240 Yes, sir.

01:17:45.260 Yeah, doing a pretty good job on showing how the detective maybe could have done more,

01:17:49.120 even though he's saying that he couldn't have.

01:17:51.140 But it could make the jury be like, wow, this guy didn't really investigate this the best.

01:17:55.160 Who knows?

01:17:55.660 Who knows what the jury is thinking?

01:17:56.820 That conversation was not specific to the murder.

01:17:58.960 That was specific.

01:18:00.340 Did you, in fact, threaten to have him be federally indicted?

01:18:05.900 Yes or no?

01:18:06.620 Yes, because of gun sex.

01:18:07.840 Gun sex.

01:18:08.400 Did you, in fact, tell him that he would not see his kids for a couple of years?

01:18:12.380 Possibly.

01:18:13.560 Yes, sir.

01:18:14.820 I mean, we've heard through it.

01:18:15.780 Possibly.

01:18:17.580 Oh, man.

01:18:18.740 The trial.

01:18:19.260 So now he's trying to paint the officer as an aggressive individual now.

01:18:23.320 Melly's mom got hurt by this guy.

01:18:25.660 Like, he, like, twisted her hand and tore some ligaments in Melly's mom's hand.

01:18:29.400 He threatened to charge Melly's.

01:18:32.180 I don't know if that's right from what I know.

01:18:35.160 I heard that his manager, 100 Track, is the one that gave the phone to the police.

01:18:38.620 That's why a lot of people are, like, low-key pissed off at him.

01:18:41.000 And I'll show you how I picture 100 Track real quick.

01:18:43.020 Melly's girlfriend with accessory after the fact, I believe.

01:18:46.480 Did you, in fact, threaten Jameson Francois?

01:18:49.520 Melly's manager?

01:18:50.280 Same answer, sir.

01:18:51.540 Revising deadlines was good result of the arrest.

01:18:53.920 Did you, in fact, tell him he would be deported to Hayden?

01:18:56.880 Yes.

01:18:57.440 Threaten Jameson Francois to be deported to Hayden, even though he's been in this country since five years?

01:19:03.260 Yes, sir.

01:19:03.860 Did you, in fact, threaten that he would?

01:19:06.880 All right, guys.

01:19:07.780 This is, here, I'll show you real quick.

01:19:12.160 Damn.

01:19:12.920 Hold on, I'll pull it back up for you guys.

01:19:22.580 It's him.

01:19:23.200 This is who they're referring to.

01:19:24.080 This is Melly's manager right here, guys.

01:19:26.700 All right.

01:19:28.720 So, they're saying that he's the one that gave the phone to the police.

01:19:32.340 Oh, wait, hold on.

01:19:33.200 Was this?

01:19:34.400 How long did, oh, 15 hours ago.

01:19:36.060 Okay.

01:19:36.880 So, yeah, that 16 million that they mentioned in the trial?

01:19:39.600 He's talking about that.

01:19:41.520 Interesting.

01:19:42.600 And he privated all his other stuff.

01:19:44.680 But, anyway, I digress.

01:19:48.980 My bad.

01:19:49.620 Not get fed and get any medicine in the Haitian jails.

01:19:56.580 I don't know what that is.

01:19:57.800 Goddamn, this detective was.

01:19:58.960 So, that probably, you know, the fact that he threatened like that, that means that more

01:20:02.360 than likely a hundred track might not be, well, he's probably not a citizen and he might

01:20:06.660 be here on like a visa or some shit like that.

01:20:08.300 Or he might be an overstay.

01:20:09.700 You normally don't threaten people with immigration unless they have something that isn't all the

01:20:15.200 way right about how they're here.

01:20:16.640 Because he did mention that he's been here since he was five years old.

01:20:18.800 So, that probably means that his family came in on some kind of visa, overstayed, and he

01:20:23.760 never actually got citizenship.

01:20:25.560 You know?

01:20:26.340 It's wilding.

01:20:27.220 I mean, you got to do what you got to do sometimes, but damn.

01:20:29.420 It's right to your witness.

01:20:31.360 That's the game, guys.

01:20:34.140 Nothing doesn't say that you can't let people know that there's consequences if they don't

01:20:37.220 cooperate.

01:20:37.560 You know, I used to do that shit all the time.

01:20:38.760 Like, if you don't cooperate, hey, bro, I know you're not here legally.

01:20:41.280 I could go ahead and start getting that process going right now to get you deported.

01:20:44.740 That's one of the best ways to get people to flip.

01:20:46.820 It mean?

01:20:47.780 Yeah.

01:20:48.520 Legal?

01:20:49.660 You damn right it is.

01:20:50.820 You damn sure it is.

01:20:51.560 That's how the FBI gets most.

01:20:53.160 Dirty little secret for y'all?

01:20:55.540 Most of the terrorist attacks that the FBI stops, nine out of ten times, it's because an HSI

01:21:00.660 agent, my former agency, knew that the target that the FBI was looking at had, you know,

01:21:06.600 some fucked up immigration shit.

01:21:08.200 So it's very difficult to prove material support for terrorism.

01:21:12.400 So if they can't prove that, they get us to come in, threaten them with deportation,

01:21:16.920 blah, blah, blah.

01:21:17.660 And then they cooperate.

01:21:18.700 Because it's one thing to say, oh, you know, I'm a terrorist, blah, blah, blah.

01:21:21.820 But it's another thing to go back to your foreign country when you've been here the whole

01:21:24.320 time, your whole life is here.

01:21:25.600 And, you know, you barely even remember how to speak that language.

01:21:28.160 So that's a great way to develop informants, man.

01:21:31.080 And that's why HSI is so important to the JCTF.

01:21:34.480 No one will ever tell y'all that, though.

01:21:36.600 What's he got?

01:21:39.640 Do you think she objected before he even finished the question threatening a witness who tells

01:21:46.040 you like the video, guys?

01:21:47.340 No one on YouTube can explain to you in such intricate detail of how law enforcement really

01:21:52.980 works.

01:21:53.860 You know, let me know if that made sense to y'all with the FBI and JCTF, that whole explanation

01:21:57.860 of immigration and how law enforcement uses it all the time to their advantage.

01:22:01.140 Give me ones if that made sense.

01:22:02.360 Because I know I speak fast and with a lot of jargon and someone who isn't coming from

01:22:06.340 that field might not pick up everything I'm saying.

01:22:09.100 But if it's confusing, give me twos.

01:22:11.160 If it makes sense, give me ones.

01:22:13.180 Something that you don't like really gets to the truth?

01:22:15.940 I'm just kidding.

01:22:16.520 I'm just kidding.

01:22:18.320 All right.

01:22:18.820 Perfect.

01:22:19.300 And the JCTF stands for Joint Terrorism Task Force, guys.

01:22:22.280 In fact, tell them that the jails are overcrowded.

01:22:24.800 And I'm referring to Haiti.

01:22:26.880 It's disease-ridden.

01:22:28.020 They say, excuse my French, a shivou.

01:22:31.340 Mike, you have to know the rule.

01:22:33.720 Yes, sir.

01:22:34.620 Consider these threats that you gave to these various witnesses.

01:22:38.000 Objectional under-infectation.

01:22:39.400 That's great.

01:22:40.040 You obviously.

01:22:40.440 Okay, notice how the defense isn't even attacking the evidence anymore.

01:22:43.700 He's attacking the actual investigator, guys.

01:22:46.120 All right?

01:22:46.940 He's trying to show that he's biased.

01:22:48.580 He's a bully.

01:22:49.380 He's mean.

01:22:50.220 He's unethical.

01:22:50.900 He's doing all this to undermine the investigation.

01:22:53.620 Don't follow that.

01:22:55.300 Let me show you the list of suspects that we talked about.

01:23:00.640 He actually got a list.

01:23:02.120 This is true and correct.

01:23:03.300 May I approach you?

01:23:03.920 Would you sign it for me?

01:23:05.200 Date it today's date?

01:23:07.480 I mean, he did show the detective was, you know, doing some wild stuff, threatening people

01:23:12.040 and lying and doing some crazy shit to witnesses to try to get them.

01:23:15.680 Well, there's nothing in the law that says you can't lie to suspects, guys.

01:23:19.480 Dirty little secret law enforcement.

01:23:21.160 Nothing says they can't lie to y'all.

01:23:22.600 Nothing to talk.

01:23:23.800 Keep that in mind.

01:23:24.560 That's why you never talk to the police.

01:23:25.960 Standard practice for the police and detectives, I mean, in general.

01:23:29.480 Like, I'm pretty sure I've heard of detectives doing that for years.

01:23:31.500 So, it's just what happens.

01:23:33.060 That he needs not only the provider name, but the list of powers in a particular area

01:23:37.340 so that he can attempt to map out and tell a jury like this where the phones are located

01:23:42.740 at a particular time.

01:23:43.880 They have to disagree because the platform they use...

01:23:46.040 All right, let's hit some chats real quick.

01:23:48.300 We got...

01:23:49.860 Tashem O.C.

01:23:50.460 Why hasn't Luke Belmar been on the show?

01:23:54.160 Maybe in the future.

01:23:55.500 Just, you know, a bunch of stuff going on.

01:23:58.140 Uncle Luke goes,

01:23:59.020 I love it when Myron gives the audience a special treat with a live stream.

01:24:01.660 Also, 304 is better act correct when going overseas like men have to.

01:24:05.860 Yeah, bro.

01:24:06.280 Yeah, I really do be trying to give y'all the best quality content, man.

01:24:09.400 So, all I ask, guys, is you guys like the video.

01:24:11.700 We got 1,600 y'all in here, man.

01:24:13.380 So, just show some love.

01:24:15.180 Alyssa Brown, two bucks.

01:24:16.100 Appreciate that.

01:24:17.680 Baton63 goes,

01:24:18.300 I watch from Ryderdam, Holland.

01:24:20.520 Keep doing your thing and Mellie is guilty.

01:24:22.260 Awesome, bro.

01:24:22.760 I always love it when, like, foreign people,

01:24:24.680 or excuse me,

01:24:25.600 people from foreign countries, et cetera,

01:24:27.060 watch this stuff because, let's be honest,

01:24:28.580 this is American criminal justice.

01:24:29.940 So, if I got a foreigner watching our stuff,

01:24:32.200 no offense to you,

01:24:33.240 or someone from another country,

01:24:34.960 it's awesome because it shows that y'all are really,

01:24:36.820 like, I'm explaining this stuff good to you guys

01:24:38.320 and you're coming back for more

01:24:39.320 and you're starting to really understand

01:24:40.820 the American criminal justice system,

01:24:42.480 which is my whole goal with this channel,

01:24:43.600 to be honest with you guys.

01:24:44.800 Show you how the core system works,

01:24:46.260 law enforcement,

01:24:46.800 how investigations are done,

01:24:48.300 and just give you guys a real deep insight

01:24:51.360 into the law enforcement world.

01:24:52.940 That's why I'm so diversified

01:24:54.160 and I make sure to give y'all

01:24:54.800 different types of stuff.

01:24:55.800 I cover terrorism.

01:24:56.660 I cover hip-hop cases.

01:24:57.800 I cover RICO cases.

01:24:58.940 I cover organized crime like the mafia,

01:25:01.260 the Irish mob.

01:25:02.300 I'm gonna cover the Russian mob very soon.

01:25:04.200 I cover national security with spies and shit.

01:25:06.340 I cover literally every class of crime,

01:25:09.700 from serial killers,

01:25:11.080 to the only fan chick that killed her boyfriend,

01:25:12.880 to 9-11, to Osama,

01:25:16.100 to freaking the YSL Rico,

01:25:18.860 bro,

01:25:19.120 I'm bringing out all kinds of flavor

01:25:21.100 when it comes to true crime, bro.

01:25:24.900 So,

01:25:25.120 the only thing I ask is,

01:25:25.920 yeah,

01:25:25.960 I like the video, man,

01:25:26.740 because we're better than Bailey Sarian, man.

01:25:28.340 I'm not over here putting fucking makeup on

01:25:30.040 and talking about Jeffrey Dahmer.

01:25:31.240 We're way deeper than that over here.

01:25:32.940 All right.

01:25:37.720 Uncle Lou goes,

01:25:38.360 also enjoy yourselves in my beautiful place of Columbia,

01:25:40.220 and stay safe,

01:25:41.520 stay away from those

01:25:42.220 scalopoline 304s out there up in his beat.

01:25:44.720 Yeah,

01:25:45.380 definitely.

01:25:45.900 I'm gonna have my head on a swivel,

01:25:46.820 and I don't drink like that, guys.

01:25:48.220 So,

01:25:48.700 yeah,

01:25:49.380 I'll be fine.

01:25:50.260 Yo,

01:25:50.500 we hit that goal.

01:25:51.260 Get me on the show,

01:25:51.920 cut.

01:25:52.280 You fine me?

01:25:54.420 Yeah.

01:25:55.060 Did the DA show enough to get the conviction?

01:25:58.380 We'll see.

01:25:59.060 They're probably gonna deliberate here very soon.

01:26:00.820 That ninja's guilty,

01:26:01.700 Uncle Ruckus,

01:26:02.340 and then Natasha reacts,

01:26:03.660 goes,

01:26:03.840 if Track 100 never gave up Melly's phone,

01:26:05.300 prosecutors wouldn't have had anything on Melly.

01:26:06.880 Phone got him convicted.

01:26:07.600 Bam,

01:26:07.800 there you go.

01:26:08.260 See,

01:26:08.480 that's what I've been told by everybody,

01:26:10.180 that the phone came from 100 Track.

01:26:13.240 But yeah,

01:26:13.800 you guys gotta understand that

01:26:14.940 if he didn't give that phone up,

01:26:17.560 they probably would have charged him

01:26:19.020 with like,

01:26:19.560 impeding an investigation.

01:26:21.400 I love the Jeep.

01:26:22.480 All right,

01:26:22.780 we're just back to the thing.

01:26:23.840 I tried to,

01:26:24.940 you know,

01:26:25.220 tell the state about this,

01:26:26.900 and they didn't even have the main detective

01:26:29.280 to even come in and talk to me

01:26:31.460 to further this investigation.

01:26:33.540 It makes it look like the state

01:26:35.120 is doing a sloppy job,

01:26:37.300 and they rush to judgment

01:26:38.500 in this particular case,

01:26:40.400 and it even goes back

01:26:41.540 to the defense's theory

01:26:42.600 that they tunnel vision into Melly

01:26:44.520 without doing all of their research.

01:26:46.600 Yeah,

01:26:46.920 and Bob Hill,

01:26:47.580 talk about targeting.

01:26:48.520 You want to say the car was targeted,

01:26:50.180 and sure,

01:26:50.740 somebody could target a car

01:26:51.980 that Melly would have been,

01:26:53.920 they thought Melly would have been in,

01:26:55.100 doesn't mean that that's admission.

01:26:57.220 But targeting,

01:26:58.580 the defense can now argue

01:26:59.980 that Melly was targeted

01:27:01.400 by the prosecution,

01:27:02.740 can't they,

01:27:03.300 with this witness?

01:27:04.420 And I've been a big one,

01:27:05.720 but let me just say,

01:27:06.320 to say the defense should put on a case,

01:27:08.040 but they don't really need

01:27:08.860 to put on a case

01:27:09.600 after this witness.

01:27:10.300 They don't need to put on

01:27:10.940 any more of a case.

01:27:12.540 Well,

01:27:12.740 and this is really

01:27:13.760 a key alibi witness,

01:27:16.100 and this is all about credibility.

01:27:18.080 So if the jury believes

01:27:19.220 this witness,

01:27:20.500 Melly wasn't there

01:27:21.600 when the crime happened,

01:27:23.440 and game over.

01:27:25.420 So,

01:27:26.220 you know,

01:27:26.720 it's a great way

01:27:28.040 for the defense case

01:27:29.340 to sort of end this trial.

01:27:31.500 But again,

01:27:32.340 the key here is credibility,

01:27:33.460 and his demeanor

01:27:34.380 looked pretty good.

01:27:35.820 I mean,

01:27:36.000 the jury is going to be

01:27:36.880 very careful

01:27:37.540 in their assessment

01:27:38.240 on this witness.

01:27:39.660 They're going to watch

01:27:40.520 to see whether it looks rehearsed,

01:27:42.260 made up,

01:27:43.100 whether it's inconsistent

01:27:44.120 or whatever,

01:27:44.900 and then they're going to want

01:27:45.640 to see how Cross goes

01:27:46.760 with this witness.

01:27:47.900 But assuming that he handles...

01:27:49.640 Yeah, guys,

01:27:50.100 the reason why law crime

01:27:50.920 is biased

01:27:51.280 is because these are all

01:27:52.120 Melly fans in here.

01:27:52.940 They're retarded.

01:27:53.420 Let's see what they vote.

01:27:54.180 Let's see how smart

01:27:56.120 the general populace is, guys.

01:27:58.960 Bro.

01:28:05.320 Man.

01:28:08.080 We're doomed.

01:28:26.120 Yo, what the hell?

01:28:34.000 Y'all see this?

01:28:35.460 Bro.

01:28:38.300 63% think he's not guilty.

01:28:42.840 Yo.

01:28:45.080 What the hell?

01:28:46.360 All right,

01:28:46.560 let's keep watching this shit.

01:28:47.400 He does himself well on Cross.

01:28:50.580 W Melly.

01:28:58.180 All right,

01:28:58.680 let's rewind that recap

01:28:59.740 real quick

01:29:00.520 so we can catch all of it.

01:29:01.940 We missed some of it.

01:29:07.980 I'm so glad

01:29:09.040 you're back

01:29:09.880 to join us here

01:29:10.780 with our live analysis

01:29:11.900 on law and crime

01:29:12.800 because so much

01:29:13.900 is happening

01:29:14.400 in that courtroom.

01:29:15.280 As you know,

01:29:15.720 I'm Linda Kenny Bodden.

01:29:16.660 Both sides rested today

01:29:18.880 in the YNW-Melly

01:29:20.800 double murder trial

01:29:21.760 in Broward County, Florida.

01:29:23.720 Closing arguments

01:29:24.480 are slated for Thursday.

01:29:26.560 The 24-year-old

01:29:27.640 Jamel Demmons

01:29:28.280 faces the death penalty

01:29:30.020 in the 2018 shooting deaths

01:29:32.060 of his two friends,

01:29:33.080 Anthony Williams

01:29:33.980 and Christopher Thomas Jr.

01:29:36.500 Demmons

01:29:37.060 and his co-defendant

01:29:38.000 Courtland Henry

01:29:38.560 claimed they were

01:29:39.480 the victim

01:29:39.820 of a drive-by shooting,

01:29:41.420 but the evidence

01:29:42.160 suggested by the prosecution

01:29:43.900 or in the prosecution

01:29:44.820 says that the shots

01:29:46.040 were fired

01:29:46.580 from inside the vehicle

01:29:48.400 in a position

01:29:49.220 where Melly was sitting.

01:29:50.840 But now,

01:29:51.440 we're listening

01:29:51.880 to the one

01:29:52.560 and only defense witness

01:29:54.080 who levied some bombshells

01:29:55.960 in that courtroom

01:29:56.680 this morning

01:29:57.380 on behalf

01:29:58.380 of the innocence claim

01:30:00.260 of YNW-Melly.

01:30:02.220 Let's listen

01:30:02.920 to Adrian Davis.

01:30:05.500 Is that correct?

01:30:06.440 Yes, sir.

01:30:07.220 Have your body spot.

01:30:08.380 You have no time.

01:30:13.580 At any time

01:30:14.760 during school,

01:30:15.740 did any of you

01:30:16.780 have any problems

01:30:17.920 with each other?

01:30:19.200 No, not at all.

01:30:20.360 Would you label yourself

01:30:21.820 good friends,

01:30:23.900 associates,

01:30:25.060 close friends,

01:30:25.860 or what?

01:30:26.860 Do you have friends,

01:30:27.640 close friends,

01:30:28.820 close friends?

01:30:30.540 No.

01:30:30.820 Did Melly also

01:30:34.900 have a

01:30:36.480 another name

01:30:38.280 besides Melly

01:30:39.260 and the Melly?

01:30:40.960 Oh, yeah.

01:30:42.060 What's that?

01:30:42.860 We only call them

01:30:43.920 that though

01:30:44.320 Crazy Legs.

01:30:45.680 Crazy Legs.

01:30:46.760 Yeah.

01:30:47.060 And why did,

01:30:48.540 why was he called

01:30:49.600 Crazy Legs?

01:30:51.060 Because he liked

01:30:51.580 to dance.

01:30:53.820 And that's

01:30:54.360 why he got that name.

01:30:56.580 Yeah.

01:30:57.560 Was Melly

01:30:58.200 a big kid

01:31:01.580 normal size

01:31:02.800 kid when

01:31:05.100 you guys

01:31:05.940 were in school

01:31:06.720 pretty slow?

01:31:10.200 Did there come a time

01:31:11.880 that Melly

01:31:13.580 when I'm referring

01:31:17.000 to Melly,

01:31:17.560 I'm referring

01:31:18.020 to this young man,

01:31:19.120 Jamel?

01:31:19.780 Mm-hmm.

01:31:20.380 Yes.

01:31:21.940 Did there come a time

01:31:22.960 that Melly

01:31:23.660 got involved

01:31:24.620 in the music industry?

01:31:25.960 Oh, yes.

01:31:28.620 Specifically

01:31:29.160 Rackney's?

01:31:30.940 Yeah, back down.

01:31:34.780 Now,

01:31:35.920 you grew up

01:31:38.440 where?

01:31:39.420 You were on

01:31:39.920 Beach.

01:31:43.700 And do you

01:31:44.480 still live up

01:31:45.080 in that area?

01:31:46.320 No, sir.

01:31:46.860 Where do you live?

01:31:47.680 Where's the point?

01:31:48.300 By the way,

01:31:53.240 what do you do?

01:31:56.020 My granddad owns

01:31:56.960 properties.

01:31:57.880 We're on properties

01:31:58.440 and stuff,

01:31:58.920 real estate.

01:31:59.760 So we just

01:32:00.460 cut grass.

01:32:02.100 Yeah, he's doing

01:32:02.820 this to show

01:32:03.200 that the guy

01:32:03.720 is, you know,

01:32:04.460 a good member

01:32:05.080 of society.

01:32:06.020 Because remember,

01:32:06.480 he admitted

01:32:06.780 that he had

01:32:07.160 been drinking

01:32:07.560 and smoking

01:32:08.040 and shit.

01:32:08.420 So the defense

01:32:09.340 is trying to,

01:32:09.920 you know,

01:32:10.560 put him back

01:32:11.140 in a better light.

01:32:12.440 Whatever we need

01:32:13.320 to do,

01:32:13.940 keep the properties

01:32:14.580 up.

01:32:14.880 I want to draw

01:32:17.100 your attention

01:32:17.720 to the year

01:32:18.460 of 2018.

01:32:21.020 Did there come

01:32:21.700 a time

01:32:22.320 that you came

01:32:23.180 down to

01:32:23.420 Broward County,

01:32:27.720 Miramar,

01:32:28.340 Florida?

01:32:29.200 Yes.

01:32:29.860 About when

01:32:30.600 was that?

01:32:32.060 I don't remember

01:32:33.040 exactly,

01:32:33.860 but I want to

01:32:35.320 say probably

01:32:36.280 like September,

01:32:37.880 July or something.

01:32:39.020 Okay.

01:32:40.120 And where

01:32:41.380 did he stay?

01:32:43.100 At Jermaine's

01:32:44.060 house.

01:32:44.880 Who else

01:32:47.840 was living

01:32:48.580 at Jermaine's

01:32:50.600 house when

01:32:51.060 he came

01:32:51.420 down in

01:32:52.040 August or

01:32:52.800 September of

01:32:53.680 2018?

01:32:55.720 Me,

01:32:56.680 Jacoby,

01:32:57.620 Mellie,

01:32:58.180 Seth,

01:32:59.280 Julie,

01:33:00.100 um,

01:33:01.520 Julie,

01:33:01.960 with Christopher

01:33:02.520 Thomas.

01:33:03.220 Yes,

01:33:03.660 uh,

01:33:04.560 Tate,

01:33:05.600 and Courtney.

01:33:07.780 And was

01:33:09.220 Mellie in

01:33:11.160 the rap

01:33:11.680 music business

01:33:13.500 at that time?

01:33:14.240 Yes,

01:33:15.220 I believe so.

01:33:16.280 Yeah.

01:33:19.960 Did you all

01:33:20.720 get along

01:33:21.280 together?

01:33:22.300 Yes.

01:33:23.680 Were there

01:33:24.120 ever any

01:33:24.960 arguments,

01:33:27.560 fights?

01:33:29.000 All right,

01:33:29.480 let's see where

01:33:29.960 we're at,

01:33:30.180 because this

01:33:30.440 is testimony

01:33:30.840 that we

01:33:31.180 heard before.

01:33:31.660 Let me

01:33:31.800 fast forward

01:33:32.380 this and

01:33:33.920 get back

01:33:34.360 to their

01:33:34.720 commentary.

01:33:35.460 Okay.

01:33:36.620 So we saw

01:33:37.040 this already,

01:33:37.580 so I thought

01:33:38.100 there were

01:33:38.320 going to be

01:33:38.620 something else,

01:33:39.240 but.

01:33:40.420 The defense

01:33:41.120 says,

01:33:41.740 what are your

01:33:42.940 calendar?

01:33:43.520 Bob Hill,

01:33:44.500 we're coming

01:33:46.300 out and

01:33:46.840 we're going

01:33:47.060 to take

01:33:47.300 you back

01:33:47.620 in,

01:33:47.820 but I

01:33:48.040 wanted to

01:33:48.440 introduce

01:33:48.720 our guests

01:33:49.160 because there's

01:33:49.720 some very

01:33:50.240 important points

01:33:51.020 here.

01:33:51.260 Bridget Williams,

01:33:52.080 criminal defense

01:33:52.700 attorney,

01:33:53.320 has joined

01:33:54.120 Bob Hill

01:33:54.720 with me

01:33:55.320 to discuss

01:33:55.940 this case.

01:33:56.760 Bridget,

01:33:57.160 welcome back.

01:33:57.960 Bridget,

01:33:58.280 let me just

01:33:58.800 tell you,

01:33:59.160 as a former

01:33:59.720 prosecutor,

01:34:00.580 as a criminal

01:34:01.000 defense attorney,

01:34:01.840 I shouldn't be,

01:34:02.880 but I am

01:34:03.460 astounded that

01:34:04.320 the lead

01:34:04.680 detective never

01:34:05.540 interviewed

01:34:06.100 everybody who

01:34:07.440 was in the

01:34:08.020 Red Mitsubishi.

01:34:09.000 They also

01:34:09.580 could be

01:34:09.960 considered

01:34:10.300 possible victims.

01:34:11.300 Certainly they

01:34:11.940 have an

01:34:12.380 information.

01:34:13.500 What are your

01:34:13.860 thoughts about

01:34:14.360 how this will

01:34:15.120 affect the jury

01:34:15.940 when Adrian

01:34:17.100 Davis says

01:34:18.120 that the

01:34:19.720 person on trial

01:34:20.900 or the young

01:34:21.420 man,

01:34:21.760 as the defense

01:34:22.240 says,

01:34:22.880 left the Jeep

01:34:23.620 and entered

01:34:24.080 the Mitsubishi

01:34:24.840 with Adrian

01:34:25.920 Davis?

01:34:27.620 Yes,

01:34:28.100 yes,

01:34:28.480 all of that,

01:34:29.180 Linda.

01:34:29.540 I'll start by

01:34:30.560 saying that the

01:34:31.520 defense is making

01:34:32.240 such a strong

01:34:33.300 statement here

01:34:34.100 by only having

01:34:35.160 one witness

01:34:37.000 and that one

01:34:38.240 witness is saying

01:34:39.800 all of the

01:34:40.480 direct things

01:34:41.280 that we need

01:34:42.280 to hear about

01:34:43.240 Mellie.

01:34:43.760 It's not as

01:34:44.680 convoluted.

01:34:45.420 It's not as

01:34:46.500 convoluted as the

01:34:48.080 prosecution may

01:34:49.200 want you to think.

01:34:50.340 That's what they're

01:34:50.880 saying here.

01:34:51.900 And even with

01:34:52.920 all of that,

01:34:54.240 when this young

01:34:55.980 man, Mr. Davis

01:34:56.840 is saying,

01:34:57.880 well, Mellie

01:34:58.340 was in the car,

01:34:59.900 the red Mitsubishi

01:35:01.100 was us,

01:35:01.760 he got out of the

01:35:02.640 Jeep,

01:35:03.240 and I tried to,

01:35:05.440 you know,

01:35:05.700 tell the state

01:35:06.720 about this,

01:35:07.620 and they didn't

01:35:08.220 even have the

01:35:09.020 main detective

01:35:09.740 to even come in

01:35:11.120 and talk to me

01:35:11.960 to further this

01:35:13.120 investigation.

01:35:14.040 It makes it look

01:35:14.560 like the state

01:35:15.620 is doing a sloppy

01:35:17.280 job, and they

01:35:18.000 rushed to judgment

01:35:18.980 in this particular

01:35:20.400 case, and it even

01:35:21.500 goes back to the

01:35:22.280 defense's theory

01:35:23.080 that they tunnel

01:35:23.900 vision into Mellie

01:35:25.080 without doing all

01:35:26.160 of their research.

01:35:27.080 Yeah, and Bob Hill,

01:35:28.080 talk about targeting,

01:35:29.000 you want to say

01:35:29.300 the car was targeted,

01:35:30.660 and sure, somebody

01:35:31.500 could target a car

01:35:32.460 that Mellie would

01:35:33.900 have been, they

01:35:34.520 thought Mellie would

01:35:35.180 have been in,

01:35:35.640 doesn't mean that

01:35:36.260 that's admission.

01:35:37.060 But targeting,

01:35:39.060 the defense can

01:35:40.060 now argue that

01:35:40.740 Mellie was targeted

01:35:41.880 by the prosecution,

01:35:43.220 can't they,

01:35:43.780 with this witness?

01:35:44.920 And I've been a big

01:35:46.020 one, but let me just

01:35:46.520 say the defense

01:35:47.520 should put on a case,

01:35:48.520 but they don't really

01:35:49.080 need to put on a case

01:35:50.080 after this witness.

01:35:50.780 They don't need to

01:35:51.180 put on any more

01:35:51.900 of a case.

01:35:52.940 Well, and this is

01:35:53.860 really a key alibi

01:35:55.520 witness, and this is

01:35:57.140 all about credibility.

01:35:58.560 So if the jury

01:35:59.200 believes this witness,

01:36:00.980 Mellie wasn't there

01:36:02.060 when the crime

01:36:02.840 happened, and game

01:36:04.900 over.

01:36:05.940 So, you know,

01:36:07.180 it's a great way

01:36:08.500 for the defense case

01:36:09.820 to sort of end

01:36:10.800 this trial, but again,

01:36:12.820 the key here is

01:36:13.480 credibility, and his

01:36:14.400 demeanor looked pretty

01:36:15.940 good.

01:36:16.280 I mean, the jury is

01:36:17.060 going to be very

01:36:17.600 careful in their

01:36:18.280 assessment on this

01:36:19.460 witness.

01:36:20.140 They're going to

01:36:20.620 watch to see whether

01:36:21.600 it looks rehearsed,

01:36:22.760 made up, whether

01:36:23.840 it's inconsistent or

01:36:24.960 whatever, and then

01:36:25.660 they're going to

01:36:26.000 want to see how

01:36:26.640 Cross goes with

01:36:27.460 this witness.

01:36:28.500 But assuming that he

01:36:29.660 handles himself well

01:36:30.920 on Cross, and the

01:36:33.360 jury finds that this

01:36:34.600 testimony is credible,

01:36:36.500 I don't know how

01:36:37.680 the state is going

01:36:38.400 to get around that

01:36:39.480 in the jury

01:36:40.560 deliberations, at

01:36:41.600 least on beyond a

01:36:42.620 reasonable doubt

01:36:43.280 standard.

01:36:43.960 Yeah, and quite

01:36:44.640 frankly, I don't

01:36:45.900 know how the

01:36:46.760 prosecutor is going

01:36:47.560 to ever be

01:36:48.120 effective in any

01:36:48.900 Cross when the

01:36:49.820 prosecutor knew

01:36:50.640 what he was going

01:36:51.040 to say because she

01:36:51.700 interviewed him and

01:36:52.920 never told the jury

01:36:55.220 about it.

01:36:56.440 And that, talk

01:36:57.020 about credibility,

01:36:58.660 prosecutors and

01:36:59.460 defense attorneys have

01:37:00.220 credibility.

01:37:00.860 Well, she doesn't

01:37:01.540 necessarily have to

01:37:02.160 disclose that, you

01:37:03.340 know what I mean?

01:37:03.760 It's not really like

01:37:04.600 evidence like that,

01:37:05.480 but, you know, the

01:37:07.220 reason probably why

01:37:07.840 they didn't mention

01:37:08.300 this is because his

01:37:08.760 interview was irrelevant

01:37:09.460 compared to all the

01:37:10.240 other, you know what

01:37:10.880 I mean, pieces of

01:37:12.220 evidence they got.

01:37:12.880 Like, okay, Mellie's

01:37:14.280 friends are lying, so

01:37:15.080 who cares?

01:37:15.760 No, they proved that

01:37:16.540 from day one.

01:37:17.660 The issues and cases

01:37:18.880 also.

01:37:19.840 Anyhow, we're going to

01:37:20.500 take a quick break.

01:37:21.200 When we come back,

01:37:21.740 we'll go right back

01:37:22.380 into that courtroom to

01:37:23.200 continue to hear the

01:37:24.100 testimony, the bombshell

01:37:25.280 testimony of Adrian

01:37:27.000 Davis, which tends to

01:37:28.460 exonerate YNW Mellie.

01:37:30.200 All right.

01:37:34.220 Cool.

01:37:36.080 Let's see where

01:37:36.720 they're at.

01:37:36.880 Hello.

01:37:42.080 You went back to

01:37:43.260 Mellie's house.

01:37:44.720 Okay, so they're doing

01:37:45.780 it recently.

01:37:46.400 She told you this,

01:37:47.280 she can't check it out.

01:37:48.940 She can't check it out.

01:37:49.440 Okay.

01:37:50.720 So, guys, I don't know

01:37:53.100 if they're going to go

01:37:53.580 back until, like, later

01:37:54.640 on this afternoon, so I

01:37:55.680 might cut it here, unless

01:37:58.080 any of you got chats or

01:37:59.100 got questions, in a

01:38:01.080 daze goes, Miron, the

01:38:02.740 female black girl with

01:38:03.380 them boys lawyer was

01:38:04.300 out here three or four

01:38:05.080 and it up before her

01:38:05.720 man can't make the

01:38:06.380 show up.

01:38:06.720 Wait, what?

01:38:07.140 Really?

01:38:08.260 No, shit.

01:38:08.860 No, I didn't know that.

01:38:10.180 But you know how it is,

01:38:10.980 bro.

01:38:11.280 Like, girls be, I

01:38:13.100 tweeted earlier that

01:38:14.040 men sell, women sell

01:38:16.080 sex and men sell, women

01:38:18.280 sell sex and men sell

01:38:19.160 success.

01:38:20.880 And men use success to

01:38:23.020 get sexy women and

01:38:24.300 women use purity to get

01:38:25.820 successful men.

01:38:26.860 So, y'all got to

01:38:27.420 remember that, like, the

01:38:28.620 female strategy is to

01:38:29.640 sell you purity, make

01:38:31.040 you think that, you

01:38:32.580 know, she's only doing

01:38:33.180 this for you and then

01:38:33.800 get you, you know, on

01:38:34.720 some hook shit.

01:38:35.280 Gotcha, bitch.

01:38:35.920 So you got to be able to

01:38:36.640 read between the lines

01:38:37.260 and that's why it's so

01:38:37.900 important, guys, to have

01:38:38.620 more partners.

01:38:39.280 That's why I tell y'all,

01:38:40.020 even though people get

01:38:40.500 mad at me for saying the

01:38:41.180 50 thing, it's to keep

01:38:42.460 yourself from getting

01:38:43.040 bamboozled and not wife

01:38:44.600 and girls up that have

01:38:45.560 had a certain past, you

01:38:46.880 know, or at least if they

01:38:48.040 did have a certain past

01:38:49.000 and you're willing to look

01:38:49.600 past it, at least you're

01:38:50.860 going in with your eyes

01:38:51.980 wide open and not on

01:38:52.780 some blue pill shit, you

01:38:54.040 know?

01:38:54.980 But that's very advanced

01:38:58.620 thinking you could still

01:38:59.080 kind of tame or it's not

01:38:59.900 worth it.

01:39:01.000 You got to have a lot of

01:39:01.840 game for that shit.

01:39:02.380 It's not worth the

01:39:02.980 fucking headache and the

01:39:03.820 issues and the trauma

01:39:04.680 that you're going to deal

01:39:05.220 with.

01:39:06.500 But yeah, guys, like the

01:39:08.380 video, man.

01:39:09.120 I haven't slept yet, so I

01:39:10.180 think I'm going to just

01:39:10.700 pass out.

01:39:12.380 But yeah, share this

01:39:13.140 video with a friend, guys.

01:39:13.860 This is actually some

01:39:14.420 pretty damn good

01:39:15.100 testimony and we went

01:39:16.000 over what happened

01:39:16.480 before.

01:39:16.840 Y'all should be pretty

01:39:17.600 up to date with the

01:39:18.960 trial.

01:39:20.300 And yeah, love y'all,

01:39:21.980 man.

01:39:22.720 We'll be in Columbia

01:39:23.500 tomorrow.

01:39:24.800 So yeah, don't do it,

01:39:28.200 boys.

01:39:28.620 Let's see here.

01:39:32.660 Someone asked what I

01:39:33.380 think about the

01:39:33.760 verdict.

01:39:33.940 I think he's going to

01:39:34.380 be guilty, guys.

01:39:36.000 Go watch my original

01:39:36.980 Melanie video where I

01:39:37.920 like broke all this

01:39:38.500 down.

01:39:38.700 I actually read the

01:39:39.400 criminal complaint for

01:39:40.720 y'all.

01:39:41.360 Like, I think he's

01:39:42.080 definitely going to get

01:39:42.740 found guilty, man.

01:39:44.240 But anyway, brothers,

01:39:45.840 I'll catch you guys on

01:39:46.680 the next one.

01:39:58.640 Williams and

01:39:59.040 associate YSL did

01:39:59.900 commit the felony.

01:40:01.700 actually got.
