	So we're gonna get right into the trial.
	Looks like they brought up the first witness for today.
	And after we take a break, I'm gonna give you guys a um a summary of what went down.
	So let's get right into this thing.
	And the stream was down, guys, so they made a new one.
	That's why I was a little bit delayed.
	Hold on.
	Hmm.
	Why the hell is this?
	Bear with me real quick, guys.
	And how about we in and out?
	You know someone by the name of Don Tavious Williams.
	Uh yes.
	And you know his name.
	Two.
	Let's start off with the first individual I name.
	Uh Anthony Williams.
	Also known as that.
	How did you meet him?
	Uh next temporary school.
	How about Christopher Thomas?
	Do a school.
	Alright, guys.
	So trial just started.
	They're bringing in the first witness.
	I don't know who this guy is, but I'm gonna we'll get to that as we continue to listen to uh to him testify.
	Portland or Cortland-Henry?
	Portland and the Elk Neutru.
	How about Mell?
	Uh sixth grade.
	Alright, so this is someone that's clearly uh childhood friend of both Melly and Wine W. Bortland.
	And if you guys remember, YW Portland is the one that drove the bodies to the hospital, and Melly obviously is the alleged shooter from glass.
	Um like to turn credit and his nickname was probably no sense of the new trip.
	Okay, and finally I'm David Smith.
	Um Fort Latter.
	Okay.
	So you went to school with Williams, Thomas, Henry, Melly, Lass.
	Exactly.
	Alright, so it looks like this guy went to school with all four of the people that were involved in the situation.
	You guys remember quick little refresher?
	You had YW Melly in the backseat, you had Juvia right next to Melly, and then you had Sack Chaser in the front, and then Bortland driving.
	So basically, all four of these individuals knew each other through school, and it seems like this guy was there.
	Everybody's father has no time during school, did any of you have any problems with each other?
	Not at all.
	Okay, so guys, also want to give y'all a tip.
	Right now, the person that's speaking is Melly's, it looks like lawyer.
	I can tell from his voice because I'll be covering this uh this case for a bit now.
	That's Melly's lawyer.
	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.
	So more than likely he's gonna be a character witness, and he's gonna talk about all the good Melly did, how he's a friend, blah blah blah.
	Um, because anytime you got a witness on the stand, and the first person that's questioning them typically is the how do I say it?
	They're on the side of the witness that's there.
	So for example, if prosecution, right, is bringing witness, typically they're gonna be the first ones to ask that witness the questions, then they let the defense cross-examine.
	Now, if the defense brings in a witness, then the defense asks the questions first, gets them comfortable, then lets the prosecutor examine.
	So that's kind of how the law works in the United States with court systems.
	The witness that goes on, depending on which side they're on, they get interviewed by their interested party first.
	Give me one if the chat uh if you guys understood what I just explained.
	When you label yourself good friends, associates, close friends, or what?
	Good friends, close friends, first friends.
	Now did Mellie also have a another name besides Mellon and Mell.
	So the uh we only call them crazy legs, crazy legs.
	Yeah, and the reason why the defense is calling their witnesses now, guys, is because the prosecution put up all their witnesses, and one of the most important witnesses was the actual case detective that covered this case.
	So when we take a break on this, I'm gonna go through and show y'all a video of what that lead detective said that ran this case.
	Alright, because obviously he's probably one of the most important witnesses, so they saved him for last.
	Now it's the defense going and they're calling their witnesses.
	And why did why was he called crazy legs?
	Because he liked to dance.
	And that's why he got that name.
	Was Melly uh yes, this means that prosecution has no more witnesses, guys.
	If defense is starting to put their witnesses on.
	Big kid, normal size, uh kid when uh you guys were in school.
	Did there come a time that Melly?
	And when I'm referring to Melly, I'm referring to this young man, Jamel.
	Did there come a time that Melly got involved in the music industry?
	Yes.
	Specifically rap music.
	FYI guys, Jamel is YW Melly's government name.
	So you're gonna be seeing them refer to Jamel or they say Demons, but it really is Demons is last name.
	But anytime they say Jamel or Demons or Demons, that means they're talking about Nelly's government name.
	Yeah, that YW Bortland, he uh his real name is Cortland Henry, but as you guys know, these guys claim to be bloods.
	So Bortland switched the C in his name to a B. Alright, and this is very common in gang culture where you don't use letters of the ops.
	So if you're um, you know, like for example, look at Crickmap uh Cripmac on No Jumper, he never says the B word, so instead of calling someone a buster, he'll call them a custer.
	Which I can really really entertainment.
	Let me know if y'all want me to bring him on the show.
	He's actually hilarious, but yeah, that's an example of like someone taking it to the extreme for their gang and never using a certain letter and rephrasing things and speaking in a different way where he tries to avoid the use of the letter B. So YW Bortland is the same exact thing, but he's a blood, so he tries never to use um C. So uh hope that makes sense for y'all.
	Give me one sense of chat if uh you understand that concept of gangs using um their own letters and never using op letters in their vocabulary now.
	you grew up where you're a beach and you still live up in that area no sir where do you live west point Wait, y'all want crit mac?
	If I get there's 394 you guys watching right now, we're gonna slowly climb to 1000.
	If I could get 400 likes, I'm gonna hit Adam up on air and tell him to put me in touch with Crit Mac.
	Y'all want that?
	Y'all want that?
	Don't demonstrate.
	If I hit 400 likes in the next 10 to 20 minutes, guys, uh next 10 minutes, we'll say 10 minutes.
	If I hit 400, I'll go ahead and um hit up Adam now and tell him to get me uh in touch with Crit Mac.
	By the way, what do you do for a little bit?
	Because he actually is hilarious, by the way.
	Uh my granddad owns properties, rental properties and stuff for real estate, so we just cut grass, paint, whatever we need to do, keep it properly zero.
	Okay, I want to draw your attention to the year of 2018.
	Did there come a time that you came down to uh Brower County, Miramo, Florida?
	Yes, a black win.
	And guys, just so y'all know, I know you guys are like, who is this critmac guys guy?
	He's just funny, guys.
	It wouldn't be like a show to like a money Monday or any shit like that.
	It'd basically be an interview for just straight entertainment for y'all.
	It would kind of be uh a break from all the self-improvement shit we give you.
	So if y'all want that, let me know.
	What is that?
	I don't remember exactly, but I want to see probably like September, July or something.
	Okay.
	And where did you stay?
	Jamel's house.
	Who else was living uh at Jamel's house when you came down in August or September of 2018?
	Me, Jacobi, Melly said, Julie, uh with Christopher Thomas.
	Yes, uh Courtley.
	and was Nelly in the rap music business at that time?
	Yes, I believe so.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Did you all get along together?
	Yes.
	Alright, so that's key.
	Now he's trying to get into like the rapport part.
	And hey, was were you guys all friends?
	Were there ever any arguments?
	Fights?
	You guys?
	And is that where you met Don Tavius weather?
	And does he have a name?
	Uh T. Who was paying the bills?
	Uh at the house.
	I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that it was.
	Let's go to the day of October 25th.
	And so you have an idea where I'm at.
	Uh this incident that we're here on occurred in the early morning hours of October 26.
	Okay, guys, important date to remember.
	This murder went down on October 26, 2018.
	So basically, guys, this has been going on for damn near five years.
	This case, and they're just going to trial now.
	And I'm referring to the shooting uh Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas.
	On October 25th, the morning up during the day, what were you doing?
	Just chilling out.
	Smoking and drinking.
	Okay.
	Who were you smoking and drinking with?
	Kobe.
	Try everybody who's okay.
	Williams?
	Yes.
	Thomas?
	Yes.
	Portland Henry?
	Yes.
	Travel on glass?
	Yes.
	With it?
	And were there plans to go to a recording studio that evening?
	Yes.
	Did you in fact go to the recordings studio?
	And that was after you all were for lack of a better term.
	Smoking dope weed around.
	And having a few drinks.
	Yeah.
	What was the drink of choice?
	During the hour.
	Keeping stereotypes live, I see, man.
	Who all went to the studio?
	Nothing ever comes good from Henny guys.
	Me, Jacoby, Melissa, Julie, Courtland, TriVar, and T. Okay.
	Did you all go in the same car?
	No.
	Okay.
	Going to the studio.
	Approximately what time did you get there?
	i don't remember was it during the day or not Did you go in the same car or were there two cars?
	What type of cars were then?
	Oh, Jeep and uh Lucy Bishop.
	What color was the Mint B sheet?
	Will you tell this jury who got into the red Mint Tabishi to go to the studio?
	Me, Jacoby, or T and Study Tree Line.
	Okay.
	And who got into the Jeep to go to the studio?
	Melly said, Julie, and okay.
	So I'm gonna go ahead and make this a lot clearer because he's mentioning names, and you guys might not be might not be familiar if you're not very familiar with this case.
	So let me go ahead and do y'all a favor.
	I'm gonna give you guys a visual representation of what's going down here, okay?
	So as y'all can see, he's on the stand.
	This is the vehicle that was used in the murder, and uh these were the people inside, right?
	So give y'all a quick visual.
	So you see here in the front seat, this is YW Bortland right here, right?
	Um aka Cortland Henry, or excuse me, uh Cortland Henry, but is you know, stayed name is YW Bortland, right?
	With the B, which I explained to y'all before.
	Here's Melly in the back seat.
	This is Sack Chaser.
	His real name is uh, let's see here, DeAndre Williams.
	Okay, so whenever they say Williams, they're referring to him, and then this guy, YW uh Juvie is Jermaine Thomas Jr.
	So if you hear them say Thomas or Williams, those are two victims.
	They mention Henry, it's one of the people that you know was with Mel involved in this whole situation, it might have been complicit.
	But these are the two victims on this side.
	Uh the bullet wounds show that the bullet went this way, and in uh behind this dude's neck.
	So pretty much he got shot in the cheek, died instantly, he got shot in the back of the head, died instantly, and there was blood all over the car, etc.
	So this is a visual representation of what they're actually talking about now.
	Now, as you guys can see, also the lawyers asking him about two vehicles, right?
	Let me refresh y'all memories that are just joining her new to Fed Reacts.
	This is what he's referring to.
	As y'all can see here, you got them coming.
	This is Y and W Sack Chaser right here.
	These are the friends, right?
	So he might actually be the dude that's on the stand right now.
	Might be uh in this CCTV.
	So he gets in, right?
	Let's speed this up.
	Now you just see that's Bortland.
	He came out as well.
	Now he's gonna get in a driver's seat.
	So Bortland is there.
	Y'all just saw Sack Chaser get in, right?
	Let me speed this up for y'all.
	Right.
	Fast forward, fast forward.
	Fast forward.
	All right, so this dude is here.
	That might be the guy in the stand right now.
	His dreads were shorter back then.
	Uh, and then you're gonna see Melly.
	Bam.
	This is Melly right here, guys.
	Right?
	Right here in the in the jean jacket and the satchel.
	Where is he gonna go?
	He's gonna go in the back left seat.
	Now, y'all are gonna see Juvie.
	And just so you guys know, this is a music studio that they're coming from at uh 2 a.m.
	Up uh up north in like the Fort Lauderdale area, and there you go, see Juvie get in there, and then the rest of them get in their cars, then they get ready, right?
	And they start to take off.
	Boom.
	So they Melly's in the car.
	Y'all gotta see it with your own two eyes, then these guys get in.
	So that's what they're referring to to give y'all a visual representation.
	Uh give me ones in the chat that helped y'all understand the case better.
	Because some of you guys might not know all these people that this dude on the stand is talking about.
	So I want to make sure I give y'all that visual.
	Who dropped?
	Do you know who drove the Mintonishi to the studio?
	That would be fantastic.
	Yeah, you know who drove.
	All right, perfect, perfect.
	That's my goal the whole time.
	You know, I mean, I don't want to I want to make sure that y'all are actually understanding what's going on here.
	Okay, that was and like the video, goddammit.
	Ain't nobody breaking down this case with this level of detail, guys.
	So, like the video, man.
	Y'all ain't going to get breakdowns like this anywhere else live.
	...the court interview.
	And what was the purpose of going to the studio?
	Did anyone fall asleep at the studio?
	Yes.
	Oh, we all did that was from the day of smoking weed and having a few drinks.
	Fair enough.
	Any argument occur between any of you at the studio?
	All right, so the defense attorney's doing a good job here.
	He's trying to establish that Melly has no motive, and he had he's asking him, yo, was there any issues at the studio?
	What could have led to this?
	So they're trying to paint Melly in a positive light.
	Did they comment on that?
	You all left the studio.
	Yes.
	Did he leave the studio?
	Uh earlier than what was scheduled.
	Yeah, I believe so.
	So we are in the state.
	We tell the jury who got into the red Mitte B she.
	All right, that's just from the CC TV footage I just showed y'all.
	Oh, me, Jacobi, and um treat.
	Okay, you know who got into the G. All right, the people that went into the Mitsubishi that showed y'all, they're not really relevant, guys.
	And the reason why is because they ended up lying to the police and telling completely different stories anyway.
	Um, but the defense's goal here isn't to say who got in vehicle and whatever.
	His thing is to say that Melly has good character and establish that they didn't fight right before getting the studio.
	So it wouldn't make sense for him to kill his friends in cold blood the way that they were killed.
	Courtney, Jamel, Seth, and Judy.
	Okay.
	Where were you going?
	Did anyone fall asleep in your car?
	Did there come a time that you were woken up before you got to the house?
	Yes.
	What happened?
	We pulled over, and that's what Mellon got the car with us.
	Do you know where you pulled over?
	I don't really remember.
	Where you were?
	Wait, hold on, hold on.
	What the?
	All right.
	I'm gonna see, I'm gonna tell y'all why this is important here in a second.
	Let's listen in and see what he says here.
	Welcome up.
	Yeah.
	Because I was getting pushed over a little bit.
	Okay.
	And are you a hundred percent sure that this young man got into the resident division?
	Yes.
	What happened to the Jeep?
	Bro.
	Yo!
	What?
	Yo!
	Y'all literally might be witnessing a crime occurring right now in front of your eyes in 4K.
	Hold on.
	Let's keep watching this.
	Just kept going.
	Where'd you go?
	Thank you.
	Hold on.
	Did he have to unlock the door?
	Oh, it sounds just cut out.
	Yes.
	Do you know who had the keys?
	Melly's house on October 26th in the early morning hours.
	Oh, Jamal and Bortland.
	They're the only one who had keys to the house.
	Did you have a key to the house?
	No.
	Didn't Williams have a key to the house?
	No.
	Did Christopher Thomas have a key to the house?
	No.
	Did Trevon Glass have a key to the house?
	No.
	Did Jacoby Mills have a key in the house?
	And how about Don Tabus Swift?
	Did he have a key?
	Nope.
	Okay.
	So the only two people you know who had a key to the house was this young man.
	Yes.
	Alright, we gotta rewind this and make sure I I'm not tripping.
	Iran.
	Where were you going?
	Um what was the purpose of going to the studio?
	Make music.
	Okay.
	That was from the day of any of you.
	At the studio.
	So we asked anyone fight?
	Yeah, I believe so.
	So we were all in their sleep.
	Um me, Jacoby, Trivon, and um set and where were you going?
	Did anyone fall asleep in your car?
	No, we fight all day except for the driver.
	Did there come a time that you were woken up before you got to the house?
	Yes.
	What happened?
	Um, we pulled over, and that's what Millie got in the car with us.
	You do you know where you pulled over?
	I don't really remember.
	Were you woken up?
	Yeah.
	Because I was getting pushed over a little bit.
	Okay.
	And are you a hundred percent sure that this young man got into the resident division?
	Yes.
	What happened to the Jeep?
	Well, I think he just kept going.
	Where'd you go?
	Okay, this is crazy.
	Because y'all just saw on the C C TV footage that Melly went with them, but what he's trying to insinuate now is that the car layout.
	The car later parked and picked Melly up.
	But here's the thing.
	Here's the key.
	As y'all know, after Melly did made the murder, he made a FaceTime call to get out of that area where they had just killed the dudes, and Bortland went to take him to the hospital.
	So he's not being specific as to when he saw Melly get in the car.
	For all we know, it could have been after the hit was done.
	But I think he's trying to insinuate that um he did it before the hit was done, so he couldn't have been the shooter.
	Yes, do you know who had the keys to Melly's house on October 26th in the early morning hours?
	Oh Julie and Bortley, the only one who had keys to the house.
	Did you have a key to the house?
	No.
	Did Williams have a key to the house?
	No.
	Did Christopher Thomas have a key to the house?
	No.
	Did Trevon Glass have a key to the house?
	No.
	Did Jacoby Middles have a key in the house?
	No.
	And how about Don Tabi Swift?
	Did he have a key?
	No.
	Okay.
	So the only two people you know who had a key to the house was this young man.
	Yes.
	And Cortland Hemer.
	Yes.
	Those are the two people suspected in the murder.
	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.
	Let's see here.
	Did you see this young man unlock the door of the house?
	Yes.
	Who was the last person to get out of the red Mintadishi to go inside the house?
	Trevor Burrus, he was in the customer sleep.
	He was in the car asleep when you got in his house.
	Yeah.
	Did you see where Melly went?
	To his room.
	And where was his bedroom?
	So he's trying to say that they brought Melly home.
	And uh and he probably they're trying to, I guess, assinuate that he wasn't with Bortland and then with this.
	Let's see what he's this is.
	This is a very weird story, guys.
	If y'all are familiar with the facts of the case, something isn't up.
	I mean, I want to we'll keep watching it together, but this doesn't make sense.
	Okay.
	This is a one or two-story house.
	Where did you go?
	Where did Don Fabio Swithers go?
	Where did he come now?
	Alright, I'm gonna speed the sum of it, guys.
	So we can catch up because we're Don Fabius Withers went to his road upstairs.
	Do you know where Trevon Glass went?
	You know where Jacobi Mills went?
	So the three of you, the four of you went upstairs.
	You're right.
	And this young man went into his bed.
	How many people went upstairs?
	Three.
	That would be each cobra.
	We each Jacobi uh Freddie to afford us.
	Okay.
	Uh I think when he says Freddie, that he might be referring to uh Fredero Bang guys.
	And Melly went to his bedroom?
	Yes.
	Did there come a time in the early morning hours that you were woken up and heard some distressing news?
	What did he hear?
	Uh the second jewel was shut.
	When you heard that, did you see Melly in the house?
	Who does?
	Did you see Melly how he was dressed in the house?
	Yes.
	What was he wearing?
	Uh shorts and t-shirt.
	Okay.
	Upon hearing that, that saxon Judy.
	I know she can use the crack names.
	Or shot.
	What did you guys say?
	Well, we heard it just.
	So we just left Friedel's house.
	Uh upset or crying?
	This young man crying?
	Yes.
	All right, so he's trying to show that Melly was with him, and Melly was crying when he heard the news.
	President.
	Yo, I could tell this is gonna be a really fun cross-examination for the prosecutors, man.
	Yeah, Fred's when they start asking this guy questions.
	That would be Freidel Bank.
	You know Fred O'Bang's real name?
	I know his real name.
	It's Frederick Givens, guys.
	Like the video, man.
	Did there come a time after you got to the house of Fred O'Bang?
	That Cortland Henry showed up.
	Yes.
	Did Cortland Henry tell you what happened?
	When Cortland Henry arrived at Fred O'Bank's house.
	Was Melly there?
	Yes.
	Did you eventually leave that house?
	Yes.
	Approximately what time did you leave that house?
	Don't know.
	Where'd you go?
	Who went with you?
	Oh me, Triana Jacobia.
	By the way, when you first learned that Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas were shot at the house with Melly.
	Anyone?
	Yes, guys.
	The prosecution did use Melly's uh documentary as evidence because in the documentary uh it says Melly and his friends were killed by drive-by shooters, which put Melly at the scene.
	So, yeah, interesting catch for you from you guys in the chat.
	Uh on the phone.
	Yeah.
	Did anyone have any problem locating their phone?
	Yes.
	Hey guys, get your super chats in.
	I'm gonna start reading them here very soon.
	So uh get them in if you want and I'll answer questions, everything else like that.
	Who was that?
	Hello.
	You when I back up for a minute, you were telling the jury that uh you went back to Melly's house.
	Yes or not?
	Oh, yes, she can't say that.
	Okay, so the doors are low.
	Were you aware whether or not Melly had a contractual agreement to do a video shoot that day?
	Yeah, something like that.
	And we probably lost a lot of money if you go to the video.
	That's it.
	Thank you.
	Melly crying after at uh Freigo Bank House?
	Yes.
	Good job, bro.
	Good job.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	All right, the reason why this is important, guys, is because after they died, Melly shot a music video the next day, and he got a lot of criticism for like not showing emotion when he was there.
	So that's why the defense brought him up to show no Melly actually was the strong sad.
	You uh you know, I witnessed it, blah blah, but he had to go to his music video because he had paid for and he would have lost a lot of money.
	So they're trying to give Melian out for why he didn't show emotion at the shoot.
	Out.
	And guys, just so you know, he's not snitching, like that guys, don't be low IQ in the chat, man.
	I as someone as guys that watch Fed reacts, y'all should be better than the normal person when it comes to interpreting cases.
	This guy's not snitching because he's on the stand actually trying to defend his friend.
	He's not on the stand to snitch on Melly.
	He's remember, he's a defense witness, which is why he's been capping all over the place.
	But you know, this guy is definitely not a snitch.
	It's quite honestly quite frankly, it's probably the uh opposite because he's on the stand right now.
	I've already caught him in a few lies, so he might get hit with perjury after this.
	So he's the opposite of snitching, man.
	He's doing that little Kim type shit.
	Remember little Kim uh lied under oath and she ended up doing like a year in jail.
	I think it was her and Remy Ma.
	This dude's doing the same shit right now, trying to protect his friend.
	Did you in fact tell this what happened on October 25th and 26th?
	The district is a prosecutor, yes.
	Were any of these, any of us, any of the lawyers present?
	Did you tell the prosecutor when you talk when you spoke to the prosecutor?
	Were you under oath?
	yes sworn to tell the truth yes Are you 100% sure?
	I know that Melly got into the red Mithapishi to go home.
	Yes, are you a hundred percent sure that this young man learned of the shooting of these of his friends at the exact same time you learned of it?
	Yes.
	Okay, guys.
	What y'all are experiencing?
	I know y'all might not see it now.
	This is a critical moment in the trial.
	The defense is trying to paint a picture that Melly wasn't in the car.
	He was with his friends the whole time.
	And before the shooting happened, to some degree, Melly got in this Mitsubishi, so therefore he could not have been the shooter.
	So this is a turning point right now.
	So let's see what happens after this.
	And that was at the house.
	Yes.
	Are you 100% sure that when people were getting on the phone that this young man was looking for his phone to call people?
	Yes.
	Well, I'll give you this.
	His lawyers definitely are earning his money, man.
	I just for the questions.
	Alright, bam.
	So defense is done.
	Now we're probably gonna get into prosecution cross-examine.
	Nation.
	You know what time it is, baby?
	Yo, this is about to be lit.
	Sorry.
	If you're ready to make the receipt.
	Mr. Gacy's the director.
	I'm going to just ensure that Mr. Dennis found out Alright, here we go.
	Guys, just so you know, the woman's voice that's speaking right now is the prosecutor.
	Let's get ready to rumble.
	Yo, no questions about there.
	She is right there.
	That's the main prosecutor on this case.
	Sure, he's got an ask.
	Yes.
	And you were upstairs?
	Yes, sir.
	He was asked.
	Yes.
	You're sure he was there.
	Is that a yes?
	Yes.
	And you are 100% sure his phone was missing.
	Yes.
	Where in the statement on May 5th?
	Did you ever say that?
	It was never asked.
	I guess the objective is improper in feature, so we're free to play.
	So you met with me on May 5th, uh 2022.
	Do you remember that?
	Yes.
	And remember sitting down, you were present.
	That's yes.
	Okay, here we go.
	So I already know where she's going with this.
	The police already interviewed this guy, guys.
	And he gave a different statement, kind of, or he's alluding to something that he didn't disclose during the interview with the police.
	So what she's doing right now is she's attacking him with his prior statement when the police interviewed him.
	She's trying this is what you call the trying to destroy a witness's credibility.
	Alright, let's let's watch this in real time and I'll break it down for y'all.
	Yes.
	Your two attorneys were present that you brought that yes?
	Yes.
	And I asked you questions for quite a number of hours.
	Do you remember that?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	And do you remember being asked if you had met with anyone else with regards to this case?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	You remember being asked if you had met prior to speaking with me with the attorney sitting over to my left?
	Yes.
	I didn't know who they were, and my lawyers told you that.
	I didn't know their names.
	But you remember meeting?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And do you remember asking and being asked a question about what you talked about with them?
	Yes.
	Did you remember what you told them?
	No.
	Do you remember what you call them now?
	Yes.
	So are you telling the survey that you're speaking with me?
	You forgot.
	As I would have, I'm telling them now, as of right now, yes.
	So on the phone on that.
	Do you remember Mr. Devin telling a password on his cell phone that then?
	I don't think so.
	You don't think so?
	And in terms of be surprised to find that there was one on that cell phone.
	I don't think so.
	I wouldn't room for you have one.
	We all use this phone sometimes.
	We all use each other's phones.
	So you would use his cell phone.
	Uh talk to females.
	That was easy.
	Why would you be?
	Yeah, what the fuck is going on?
	Don't go.
	Yo.
	You use Melly's phone?
	Yeah.
	For what?
	Talk to girls.
	Oh, is that because you can't get him on your own?
	Bro, what the team?
	Yo, this prosecutors have some fucking demon time, bro.
	What are you doing, lady?
	Yo, what the fuck?
	Yo, that lawyer objected so fast.
	Like, objection.
	My uh, she's trying to, you know, embarrass our fucking uh witness that lawyer said objection fast as hell, man.
	He he had the he objected faster than you two banning you for talking about them boys in a certain event from the 1940s, if you know what I'm saying, man.
	It's over your question.
	Right after my question.
	So with regards to your um living situation there, you were not paying any rent, right?
	And nobody was paying any rent in that house except for the defendant.
	Yeah, okay.
	So you remember that evening driving to the studio?
	Uh yes.
	You remember who was in which car?
	All the way there, yes.
	Can you remember who was on each car on the way back?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Are there any threats that remain to anyway nothing?
	No.
	Did anyone have any other conversations or discussions about threats from outside parties?
	No problem.
	Is anyone worried about their safety?
	Uh no man.
	Well, Melly's wrapping always always be a part.
	I'm sorry.
	I said he's a record, so he's always gonna do it perfectly.
	Okay, all right, guys.
	This is a woman that's typing up the court transcript.
	That's why she has to make sure she understands everything being said, so that she can keep it for the official record.
	Kind of useless fact right there, but just you kind of get a deeper understanding of how the court system works.
	That's why she keeps telling him, hey, if you say something, don't just do it physically, like say it for the record.
	You know, because if you nod like this, she can't report that in the court records.
	And do you remember stopping on the side of the road?
	Yes.
	Where did you stop?
	I don't remember.
	So I just know we stopped.
	You know you stop.
	And you remember if that was on a highway.
	Okay, do you remember if it was on the divided four-lane roads?
	Do you remember if you guys were using GPS to get home?
	I do remember if you knew the round home.
	Yeah, sorry guys.
	The audio is bad from them, and this woman isn't speaking up, but don't worry, I'll like pause it and give y'all updates of what she's asking them.
	But you guys kind of get the general idea.
	She's grilling him on what he made uh statements he made before and his whereabouts.
	Do you remember what phone number you had back then?
	Don't remember your phone number.
	Also, quick little tidbit.
	Notice how he's mumbling now, but when he was talking to the defense attorney, he was clear.
	That's a little weird, right?
	Okay.
	Um do you remember you were awake or asleep?
	Just told you all right.
	So she's asking when you were awake or asleep.
	Basically, in the Mitsubishi, like he had told the defense attorney.
	And you said you're intoxicated.
	Yes.
	No.
	Do you have any conversations on Messieurs with the defendant?
	No.
	You have a phone call with him.
	No.
	When you stop, is it gray in front of Red Mission?
	Yeah, I believe so.
	Have you ever answered that question differently?
	I don't think so.
	If I were to show you your statement from May 5th of 2022, would that help you answering if you'd ever said something different?
	Don't you just testify anymore?
	Here we go.
	She's trying to lock him now, baby.
	Okay, approaching like page 33 in the statement comes up.
	Alright, so she says approaching.
	That means that she's about to show the witness what he actually said in the interview.
	Now, guys, I want y'all to make this very I want to make this very clear.
	It's not perjury if you know you're saying things that aren't all the way accurate, right?
	It's gotta be like a blatant lie that's you know, you gotta prove there's a little bit of malice behind it, whatever.
	So, what she's gonna do is she's gonna show it to him to refresh his memor memory and give him kind of one more chance to come clean, you know, because this is kind of sort of perjury because they can make the argument that yo, this was five years ago, bro.
	Like, well, you y'all expect me to remember everything I said five years ago.
	So that's kind of why she's going this angle to refresh the memory.
	This is um, this is called like refreshing the witness's memory.
	That's like kind of the jargon they use in the legal world.
	Breathe silently to yourself.
	One line.
	Lines 18 through 20.
	Okay, so now your answer is I don't remember if the cheek was in front, I'm gonna say that she was in front.
	If you watched the off first so it was in front of us.
	Oh, so you watched the video?
	You showed it to me.
	In terms of the trial, you've been watching that online?
	No.
	Um, in terms of when you got home, you mentioned that you said Mr. Demons went to his room.
	Yes.
	Have you ever answered that question differently?
	No.
	Okay.
	On May 5th, 2022.
	Remember that statement.
	At that point, did you say that?
	Here she goes again.
	Now she's gonna challenge him on a statement he made about YW.
	Melly going to his room, and she's gonna show what he actually said back in May 5th of 2022.
	That's the day this guy was interviewed before.
	I assume his room.
	Um I don't know.
	You don't get your statement, I'll repress your recollection on that.
	Yes.
	Okay, please 34.
	lines 12 and 13.
	Okay, so did you previously give a different statement that you didn't know where he went and you were assuming he wins this room?
	Yeah, uh, so with regards to the So it seems to me like he said in in the interview, right?
	Because you gotta pick up on the little things.
	It seems to me like an interview he said he might have gone to his room, but just a second ago, and y'all saw with your own eyes, he told the defense attorney Melly did go in his room.
	So she's trying to attack his credibility, and also notice how she asked him, Were you drunk and high?
	And he said, Yes.
	So right now she's trying to show that he wasn't um sober.
	He said one thing one time, but now he's sure all of a sudden he was drunk and high, etc.
	So this is her trying to slowly dismantle this guy's cred.
	You're saying that you got pushed over when somebody got in the car, yeah.
	Okay, and with regards to um being pushed over.
	Did you wake up when that happened?
	Like it was slash, like I guess she just said I woke up.
	Okay, and did they move you over or climb over you?
	Uh I don't remember.
	Have you ever made a statement second than that?
	I don't know.
	I can't remember it.
	Okay, again, page 30.
	I feel like I'm listening to fucking white snake.
	Here I go again on Mountain.
	Every time she's like, Oh, you said, Oh, oh, really?
	Okay, I'm gonna bring you another one and another one, and another one of these statements that you made, man.
	That dude is in the chair sweating right now.
	Three question was asked.
	Did they climb over to get you to the middle of over you to get to the middle of the vaccine?
	Your answer was I was thinking I was at the window, so no, I think they might have climbed over.
	Okay.
	So is it testimony that somebody climbed over you or are you pushed over?
	Um that you don't remember.
	Yeah, I'll forget.
	You don't really remember.
	Okay.
	Um in terms of the phone, right?
	Um, did you seem to get into that 3G?
	No.
	For some of you guys that might not be aware of uh classic rock.
	Search white snake, here I go again.
	Hit song from like 88 or something like that.
	That's just what came to mind when she kept, you know, he's in the stand thinking like, man, here I go alone.
	Here I go again on my own when she keeps grilling him.
	You remember going to Friday's house?
	Yes.
	Okay, and you remember seeing the defendant there.
	Is that a yes?
	And you remember leaving there afterwards.
	Yes.
	And you remember going back to the defendant's house?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	And you remember at that point that when you went back to the defendant's house, it was you, Train, Glass, or Fetty, and Jacobi Mouse.
	That's it.
	Yes, I believe so.
	Okay.
	And you said that you were in that sleep and intoxicator.
	Yes.
	Bro, this was said more like living on a prayer.
	We gotta hold on to what we got.
	It doesn't really matter if we make it or not.
	We got each other.
	And that's what uh how'd it go?
	And that's enough for love.
	Something like that.
	We'll give it a shot.
	Oh we're halfway there.
	Oh no prayer!
	Yo, this dude's on the stand singing that song in the back of his mind right now, man.
	He got that man by Jovi going.
	Living on a fucking prayer right now, man.
	And in terms of the you remember that Trajan was the last person to get out of the car?
	Yeah, I believe so, yes.
	You believe so or do you remember?
	Which isn't?
	Yes.
	And you know, and you mentioned about Mr. Demons looking for his phone.
	Right?
	Yes.
	So of course he used your phone to call it and try and find it, right?
	I don't remember.
	You don't remember how they were trying to find his phone?
	And yes, guys, I know my singing sucks.
	That's why I'm here talking to y'all niggas at fucking 10:30 when no sleep.
	If I had if I could actually sing, I'd probably be you know, banging some freaking uh musician, female musician out, man.
	I was looking for it, just like you would do if you lost your or something.
	So he didn't, you know, try and do find my iPhone or anything like that.
	Of course he used yours to do that, right?
	I don't remember.
	Of course he used something like you know, an Apple eye watch and set the option testimony that he had it.
	Excuse me.
	Okay.
	One at a time.
	You asked the question.
	So of course he did all that.
	He went on find my iPhone and he's looking for it.
	I don't know.
	I don't remember.
	You don't remember?
	Okay.
	And of course he is using everybody else's phone to try and find it.
	I don't know.
	You don't remember.
	Okay.
	But conveniently the phone's missing that only.
	Objection to the song.
	Yes.
	So with regards to your conversation, you texted back and forth with the defendant prior to this event occurring, right?
	Yes.
	And he had sent you a picture of the driver's license from that phone number.
	Yes.
	So you knew Mr. Demons, the defendant telly to use that cell phone 7727139807.
	I don't know which what the numbers is.
	Guys, just so you know, the reason why she's so hard on trying to like link Mellis' phone is because the phone has a geolocation data that put the where the crime scene was, contrary to what Bortland had told the police prior.
	So she needs to link the phone to Melly, and that's why she's going through this line of questioning, trying to establish that Melly texted you from this phone, correct?
	So that means it's his phone.
	So obviously him, he's kind of like playing dumb as shit like that, but she's trying to tie the phone to Melly.
	Yes.
	You haven't saved in your phone, right?
	Yeah, I can't just remember the phone number like that.
	Well, and you've testimony is that he's looking all the time.
	So in terms of the phone, did you see it again?
	That's it.
	I don't remember.
	Don't remember.
	Okay.
	And in terms of the phone traveling up to the video shoot up in Coco.
	You don't have a phone comment there.
	I don't know.
	And you didn't shoot Mr. Williams or Mr. Thomas, right?
	But you you know who we're talking about, right?
	Chris And in terms of the Chris and Anthony are two victims.
	Messages and things, uh Mr. Hammond.
	You're aware that his son was broken at that time, right?
	I don't know.
	You know.
	It turns out Mr. Dean is you know he was dating Mariah Hanson.
	And you know that Mr. Demons would face time burn right with junction.
	There's no evidence of that.
	I don't know.
	So you know, and Mr. Demons would excuse me.
	Mr. Demmons would FaceTime and video chat frequently.
	And Mr. Davis, you never met with Spector McLean?
	No, no.
	And so the first time that you ever said anything about the phone being missing was today, July 18th, 29th rate.
	Yes, I believe so.
	Okay.
	Nothing further yet.
	All right, the defense is done.
	Now that the uh sorry, the prosecution's done questioning him.
	Now it's up to the um defense attorney to try to you know bring back some of those L's that he just took just now.
	And uh I'll tell y'all this, man.
	That dude was definitely Bon Jovi on that stand.
	You know, oh man, he never even talked to you during this investigation, did he?
	We'll make it a swear.
	Oh living out of prayer.
	No, sir.
	And the bottom line is at the time you learn that Christopher and Anthony were shot.
	Sach and Juvie were shot.
	This man was at his house, correct?
	Yes, sir.
	And did you tell that to the state?
	Yes.
	And then were they the first ones who contacted you about this case?
	Yes.
	Thank you.
	This witness excuse?
	Yes.
	Sir, thank you very much.
	May step down your excuse.
	All right.
	We wouldn't at this time.
	I mean, that didn't really do too much, but hey, it is what it is.
	You can see that this dude's down for the cause with Melly.
	I need a few minutes with the attorneys.
	Do not discuss the case before any opinion about the case.
	You don't allow anyone to discuss the case in your presence, certainly no research.
	Alright, you see no bed on the curious.
	Thank you.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	Let the word require the jury stepped out, Council Maine, along with the uh defendant.
	And uh I guess uh Mr. Demons, meaning talk to you, ask you a few questions.
	Alright.
	Uh you heard what your attorney said.
	He's arrested.
	No further witnesses.
	Do you hear that?
	Okay, so that's big.
	That that pretty much means the trial's probably over, guys.
	Alright, now I don't know uh what discussion you had with they're probably gonna send the jury to deliberate here in a bit, but I think he's trying to tell Melly, hey, just so you know all the witnesses are gone.
	This is probably gonna be the end of the case.
	Is there anything else you want to do?
	So let's see what he says.
	Uh your attorneys got confident order here, and you've seen them perform here, you've discussed things with them, I assume, correct?
	Yes, sir.
	And you understand that uh you have a right to testify, and you also have a right not to testify.
	Do you understand?
	Okay, so he's giving him his last chance to take the stand right now.
	Yes, sir.
	Do you understand that if you do testify?
	I'm gonna instruct the jury that they have to consider your testimony as they would any other witness.
	Do you understand that?
	Yes, sir.
	And if you don't testify, I'm gonna instruct the the jury that you have a right not to testify, and they can't consider that, hold that against you.
	Do you understand that?
	Yes, sir.
	So my question, I guess, is uh is did you have enough time to talk about this issue about you testifying or not testifying?
	Uh did you have enough time to discuss that with your attorneys?
	Yes, sir.
	Did they answer all your questions?
	Yes, sir.
	And uh all right, let's see.
	Y'all think you gotta take the stand?
	Let's see what he says here.
	What is your decision?
	Give me ones if you guys think he's gonna take the stand, take say twos if you think he's not gonna take the stand.
	You will not be testifying, yes, sir.
	Uh spoke too soon.
	Never mind.
	He ain't testifying.
	Anyone forcing you or coercing you to make this decision?
	Oh, sir.
	Anybody make any promises or or contrary to make any threats uh to get you not to testify?
	No, sir.
	This is 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.
	Um, the only time it's acceptable to take the stand, guys, in a criminal investigation is when it's self-defense.
	That's the one time I've seen taking the stand actually could work in your favor.
	Your free and voluntary decision, yes, sir.
	So let me go further.
	Uh you heard your attorney said he arrests is not gonna call any other witness.
	That includes you, but no other witnesses.
	You understand that?
	Yes, sir.
	Is there any other witnesses that you wanted your attorneys to call or present to the jury?
	No, sir.
	Any other evidence that you wanted uh your attorneys to present to this jury?
	No, sir.
	All right, guys.
	The reason why he's doing this is he's trying to show that, hey Melly, do you feel like your lawyers did a good job?
	Do you think they were competent?
	Blah blah blah.
	Because he's gotta make sure that if Melly's found guilty or innocent, that he doesn't feel like he got slighted by justice.
	You know, I mean by the law.
	So that's why he's asking all these questions.
	You're good and satisfied with their performance.
	But these lawyers did a good job.
	I ain't gonna lie to y'all.
	Watching the truck trial and shit, like they did a pretty good job.
	But I'm gonna show you actually a clip that went down before this, um, where this defense attorney was uh cross-examining the lead detective.
	He did a damn good job, even though you know they they gotta pull at strings and shit like that, but that's the defense attorney's job.
	And clearly these guys are probably pretty good, which is why um he hired them.
	You know, this ain't no public defender type bullshit.
	These are probably higher price hip hop attorneys.
	I matter of fact, I think these lawyers are the ones that Boozy recommended to Melly, if I'm not mistaken.
	They might have been involved in getting Melly uh Boozy off the death penalty.
	So again, Chad, confirm 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 uh he recommended them to Melly.
	Performance, yes, sir.
	All right, and everything that you wanted the jury to hear and uh listen to is before the jury, is that right?
	Yes, sir.
	Thank you, sir.
	Let me ask uh I ain't gonna lie to y'all, man.
	Well, what do y'all take a look at his face, man?
	What do you guys think in the chat?
	I wanna uh what do you what do you guys think at this point is going through his mind?
	The state are gonna call any other witnesses, yeah.
	So uh the state's gonna arrest as well.
	Yes, sir.
	Uh what happened with Mr. Brendan Collins?
	He's not going to be used, I guess.
	No, he sent us email me last night saying that they were not going to be calling him and he can case you said for did that any other thing to come.
	Yeah, guys, I mean I I think he knows that this is gonna be L for him, guys.
	You know, and this is remember this is coming from a guy that I actually like Melly's music, so I'm not a hater.
	I can see in his face, I think he knows that this is gonna be an L and the worst part, guys.
	If he gets found guilty, they're gonna put him to death, guys.
	Like he's more than likely gonna be put to death if they find him guilty.
	So yeah.
	Thank you, sir.
	This is the highest stakes that you can be in in your life.
	Both sides are arrested.
	That's correct.
	Uh and now uh the pleasure is we'll we can talk about the jury instructions, but uh what about the uh closing argument?
	Yes, sir.
	Okay, so they're scheduling the closing arguments, guys, and that's pretty much the final strub.
	but we're done with the witnesses.
	Now the defense and the prosecution are gonna make their final think of it as like a thesis statement that summarizes all the strengths of their side while simultaneously hiding all the weaknesses of the other side.
	So in this case, the prosecution is gonna put holes in they don't have a murder weapon.
	Um we they had a witness that saw Melly go into the house and he wasn't there with them.
	They're gonna put it in the fact that um, you know, multiple people using a phone, Melly has good character, he would never kill these people.
	There was no motive, they weren't arguing with for the thing.
	They're gonna come up with like they're gonna make all these arguments, right?
	They're gonna say how the prosecution's detective was biased, he didn't all you know, investigate everyone thoroughly.
	Um the text message they used, like uh where Melly's admitting to things, he didn't spell s the word that the same correctly, shit like that.
	And then the prosecution's gonna show look, we have the geolocation data.
	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, but Bortland said the drive-thru vi uh bullets came from the opposite side.
	None of this makes sense, blah blah blah.
	So each party's gonna present their side while simultaneously showing how the other side is weak.
	So I'll tell the jury that uh come back Thursday, that's what the parties agree to.
	And so I'll be in Columbia by Thursday, guys.
	But let's see if I got a good internet connection, I'll live stream the closing arguments for y'all.
	And uh pack a bag and uh Tom uh and Gary, you're gonna talk to the jury about that.
	So, guys, realistically speaking, we might have a verdict by Thursday, depending on how fast the jury comes back with a decision.
	Cause they'll probably do a closing arguments that'll probably take like a couple hours, and then they're gonna send a jury to deliberate.
	We might have an answer before this weekend, guys, of what's gonna happen to Melly.
	About far with car.
	There's a whole host of things he has to go over with the uh jury when they uh come back on uh Thursday.
	Uh about food and things like special dietary things that they have to have to confirm.
	All right.
	This isn't really important, they're just like talking about admin shit right now.
	Let's fast forward to where they're at now.
	Okay, they're on a short break.
	We tried to show with a portion of this.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	our...
	you All right, they're probably gonna start summarizing here.
	Or wrong ruling by shooting proves at the end the whole tape coming in So wow.
	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.
	Right ruling or wrong ruling, Bob Hiller.
	I have a feeling the judge just gave the defense on appeal, um, a gift.
	Um, you know, the there was in the state's case a segment of this uh filming that was used really to advance the state's theory that this uh killing was motivated by some sort of uh gang relationship, and that what they excerpted.
	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.
	And guys, we only got we got about 1500 of y'all in here.
	Give me a favor, like the video, man.
	I said I'm slept giving you all this fire content, man.
	From this suggested that um, that's from the documentary I told you guys.
	Look, it puts him right at the scene.
	Four days after the completion of this film, YW Melly and his friends were the targets of drive by shooting Miami, Florida.
	Bro, boom book.
	So that contradicts what that dude said on the stand.
	Showed a gang affiliation.
	Um you know, uh again, I think the defense made all the correct arguments and the judge's obligations to make sure that the jury gets the evidence accurately and fairly.
	And if the state is introducing, and remember the state introduced it, and and the argument that, well, we can't cross-examine.
	Well, you can cross-examine some of the people in the video.
	You can cross-examine the people who were the producers of that video.
	You can't cross-examine the defendant, certainly if the defendant doesn't take the stand.
	Um, but you know, again, so I I I'm perplexed at why the court felt that somehow this was injecting an issue into the case that wasn't in the case, or that it was somehow going to mislead the jury unfairly from what the state already tried to show with a portion of this.
	Yeah, probably the judge thought that the prosecution that Melly could show himself in a very Jamel Demons that is in a very good light without having to take the stand.
	And Bob Hiller says that is a major appealable error should Mr. Demons get convicted.
	And anyhow, we're gonna take a quick break on the other side.
	More of the Y and W Melly case defenses in their case.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Thank you.
	Alright, all right.
	So guys, this we're gonna do.
	I'm gonna play a video for y'all.
	Okay.
	That summarizes the last one.
	This comes from Cuff Boys.
	Not a bad video here.
	Um kind of summarize the last one because the last um trial day was like pretty explosive.
	The morning after the So this summarizes it.
	The YW Melly murder trial got interesting today.
	Prosecutor shows a self-incrimination.
	Shots of cop boys, by the way.
	And I'm gonna be fast forwarding through this.
	I'm just gonna get it because he has a lot of the good clips that I think got taken off the Law and Order Network.
	So look at this.
	The day of the murder, right?
	You see here 2018, 1016, October 26, 2018.
	Boom.
	I did that.
	After the murders, then Melly's lawyer cross-examines the lead detective Murray about how he conducted the investigation and other potential suspects for around two hours.
	And it gets pretty intense, boys.
	So sadly, the rest of the stream got deleted for whatever reason.
	It's nowhere on YouTube.
	So this is all we get for the day.
	Subscriber.
	Yeah, and that's why I'm using his video because he actually has this the part key parts in his this video.
	But now let's get right into this.
	I did that with a smiley emoji.
	The infamous BOOM, I did that message to uh PZ Gambino, the another rapper, and then he says uh shush right after.
	Boom book from the PZ Gambino account.
	The PZ Gambino account asked him if he was okay, and his response was I did that and placed a smiley face emoji after that.
	Shh S H H H Hang where not a good look.
	Not a good look for Melly to say I did that shush.
	We don't have the watch what the the defense attorney does.
	He actually does something really clever here, guys.
	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 uh perceived a different way, iffy, but to a jury that could be important.
	Oh, Melly's lawyer's about to come up now and talk about this.
	Let's see how they approach this, because this is a self-snitching message.
	Let's be honest, but we don't know the full context.
	That correct?
	And how do you spell that?
	T H A T. Okay.
	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.
	Spelling of the way Melly spelled the word that's coming from 9807, the phone.
	T H A T that.
	Correct, correct?
	This is coming from the 9807 that the state has entered.
	Now, guys, you guys remember that we went through hours of Melly's text messages, right?
	And we saw how he texted etc.
	And he spelled, he had a lot of misspellings, doesn't write type shit all the way, a lot of grammar issues.
	So it's actually gonna work in his favor and see what this lawyer does.
	Really smart, man.
	These lawyers are pretty damn good.
	That it belongs or to phone that Melly uses, correct?
	Correct.
	Page one of defense exhibit.
	When you tell the jury how he spells that D-A-T.
	D-A-T.
	I had a feeling he was gonna say Melly spells that differently.
	Will you tell the jury how he spells that D A T D-A-T.
	Not T-H-A-T.
	D-A-T.
	Correct?
	Page three.
	Pretty clever, man.
	I I'll give him that.
	How does he spell that?
	D-A-T.
	So when Melly spells the word Melly's inability to spell properly in poor grammar might actually save him here.
	When I think this is the first time where Hooked Alphax was actually not good for you.
	Or that you want me to go through all 19 pages, or will you take my word?
	That every time, every time coming out in 9807, that's attributed to this young man that's writing the message.
	He does not spell it.
	T H A T, but T-A-T.
	Would you like to look through it?
	You're asking to explain that the one moment he decided to use proper glamour.
	One moment, these phones, messages.
	Where he said that T H A T was on Instagram, I believe, and he's trying to cast out and show that there was a difference between the way he was spelling on the cell phone and the Instagram.
	I think he's just trying to hint at it could have been someone else on his Instagram account, like maybe his manager talking.
	Like just trying to cast out, confuse the jury, honestly.
	These phone messages that the state introduced sitting on this page.
	And that's his job as a defense attorney guys to cast out.
	It's not necessarily to, you know, it's not necessarily to like get you off.
	It's to get the prosecution to not be taken seriously.
	They just gotta muddy the waters a bit.
	That's the defense attorney's job.
	Jesus.
	He spelled it D-A-T, not T-H-A-T, except for this one occasion, right?
	Correct.
	What a pretty quick.
	I ain't gonna lie, man.
	The lawyer's earning his salary now.
	On the strange I'm sorry, Judge, I apologize.
	Somewhat unusual, wouldn't you think?
	Three people in his car, correct?
	Yes.
	Was Anthony Williams?
	Yes.
	And sitting in the rear passenger seat was Christopher Thomas.
	Yes.
	Only those three people when the shooting occurred.
	Correct?
	Correct.
	So Cortland said, and if you guys remember the CCTV footage that we looked at earlier, again, or actually, I'll just show y'all this.
	One more time.
	Here's the visual that they're talking about.
	Bortland, Melly, this is Williams, aka Sack Chaser.
	And then this is uh, I think Thomas or Thompson uh in the back here.
	YW Juvie.
	...that he lied to you about where the drive-by shooting was, correct?
	You went to what three different areas to look for evidence.
	And keeping guys, uh, keep in mind, guys, the prosecution didn't bring did not call YNW Bortland to the stand.
	They probably felt like they had a strong case without him.
	So, and I remember if you guys have been watching this, I've been telling y'all, if the prosecution feels like they're iffy, they're gonna bring Bortland on the stand because he's been on on bond all this time.
	There's no way he could have been out on bond without getting some kind of deal.
	Meanwhile, Melly's been locked up the whole time.
	Yes, you learned at that time that at first he was labeled a victim, but that he now is lying to the police concerning the shooting of two individuals, he was still listening as a victim that day.
	I mean, and guys, do me a favor.
	There's over 1500 of you guys in here now.
	Can you guys do me a favor?
	Like the video, man.
	I haven't slept yet.
	We're going hard.
	This is my third podcast of the day.
	Um, we're grinding for y'all, man.
	So all I ask is that you like the video.
	Don't got to donate a dollar.
	Did show up to the hospital with two dead bodies and gunshot residue on his hands.
	Any lawyer's gonna try to be like, yeah, what about this guy?
	Like, how do you know for sure that it wasn't this guy driving the car and not my defendant?
	There is such a crime as lying to the police.
	Yes, sir, it's a misdemeanor.
	You could have arrested him if he so chose for lying to the police, correct?
	You're saying that you're the rest of the reaching a little bit now, but hey, this is what they pay them the big bucks for.
	Their job is to divert your attention from the actual case, you know, and the evidence.
	Potential victim of a violent crime on misdemeanor.
	Just to answer my question.
	Could you have arrested him?
	Yes or no?
	Yes.
	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.
	Yeah, I mean, these detectives go into this with no information, zero.
	So we know a lot more information now, so now we're gonna like think that we'll skip the 16 million bank count thing, because what they were trying to say is that you know that the police were threatening his uh manager 100 track.
	Uh, from a crucial online.
	Yes.
	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.
	Yes.
	You also learned about that time, and you mentioned it briefly.
	Then, guys, keep in mind the defense is trying to attack Y and W Bortland now because they want to get Melly off.
	Uh a text message came out from a crucial online.
	Yes.
	And that text message was we were just aiming at YMW, correct?
	Yes, sir.
	And it had a picture of him with a target, correct?
	Yes, sir.
	So it would be fair to say on October 26th, his real name was David Edge Pat.
	Well, suspect number one.
	All right, so a guy pretty much took um credit for killing Melly's friends on Instagram, and what this defense attorney's trying to do is he's trying to say, Well, this law, this detective was so focused on Melly that he didn't even do an objective investigation, run down all the leads.
	You had other people taking credit for the crime.
	So that's what he's trying to show here.
	But obviously, you know, here on this side of the internet, you you guys already know how it is.
	If you get involved in some shooting and a big rappers tied to it, a lot of idiots are gonna clout chase and put themselves behind it.
	How many times have you seen an idiot, right?
	On like Smack DVD or YouTube or doing some dumb shit.
	Smack DVD, I'm showing my age now.
	But you know, they got the chains and they're over here, yeah, bro.
	Keep getting your shit and they're bare faces shit.
	Like, bro, everyone is trying to get a lick on a rapper.
	So it's plausible that this could potentially happen.
	Where people would try to take clout, and the detective should have, you know, went ahead and followed up on that lead, but defense saying he didn't.
	Based upon that.
	He's suddenly just bringing up other uh potential suspects.
	When did you decide to talk to the baby who said he shot at this young man inside a Jeep?
	What thing?
	The first did he search warrant into his social media account where they came from, which then uh he was able to determine a better picture of his commission.
	Yeah, so he put this on Instagram, guys.
	He said the detective subpoenaed his Instagram, then went and talked to him.
	Okay.
	That's important.
	He made this confession two years after the murders, guys.
	So typically, if you're trying to claim, you know, credit for a murder, especially if like you know, people associated associated to a rapper, you'd want to do it right after the fact.
	So you could argue both.
	You could argue he just didn't want heat on himself, and he felt like he got away with it after two years, or you could say that um he's just a dummy.
	But either way, it is strange that he would come out with it two years later.
	Two years later, uh or he didn't want or he didn't want heat on himself, that's why he did it two years later.
	Here after this young man surrenders to get him to the police.
	I'm not sure what he's like date.
	February of 19.
	Would you agree it was two years after that?
	Yes, sir.
	That is a little late.
	I mean, if the guy's tweeting shit or posting shit on social media saying he shot at Y and W or whatever, that is like why are you doing that two years later?
	Or better yet, Cuff Boys?
	I don't know if you know this one.
	It could be that he got paid off to fucking take it, man.
	Don't the monk.
	It could have been that they just paid him to like be like, yo, say this crazy shit on the internet, you know, and and uh let's try to get some heat off Melly.
	I feel like you should get that done in the first few months.
	I mean, just to like X about his work better.
	And I say that because there was a lot of talk of bribery with witnesses on this case, guys.
	And when did you subpoena those work with?
	Two years later, as we interviewed.
	Okay, and I think you interviewed some.
	He can speak to any of his co-employees to verify whether or not he was really working when the time clock indicated he was.
	Yes, sir.
	That they were having a problem with a guy named Benton.
	Yes, sir.
	I'm gonna label him as suspect number two.
	Who is Betton?
	Never put a dental.
	Never identified someone they were beefing with.
	Again, he's just doing his job trying to cast out.
	You also learned that there was a problem at Walmart that got jumped and a necklace or bracelet was stolen.
	Uh pendant uh fellows, yes.
	Did you go to Walmart to investigate that?
	Yes, sir.
	By October 27th, you identify Portland, Anthony Williams, yes, sir, Christopher Thomas, yes, sir.
	Uh Travon Glass, yes, Melly, yes, sir.
	Probably no, they'll take his with us.
	I'm Tavia's with her and Davis.
	All eight people that left the recording studio, and you had observed the bloody scene of inside the Jeep, correct?
	Correct.
	And you knew that Cortland Henry had lied to do obtained a search warrant to look at that house to see if you could find any blood, any gun, or anything, what happened in that car, correct?
	There is no way we could search warrant for that house because there was no nexus to the crime to the house.
	Did you even try, sir, to get a search warrant and go in front of a judge and say, I have eight people who left the studio, they all live in the same house.
	The driver of the vehicle we interviewed, lied, and the inside of the Jeep is covered in blood, and we're looking for the gun, our guns, and the bloody clothes involved in this.
	Did he find it?
	Bam, so they're trying to pin everything on Bortland, guys.
	Okay, even though this is kind of far-fetched, because as we know the wound patterns are more indicative of the gunshots coming from the back left side of the car, he's you know, he's trying to say, hey, my client didn't do it.
	So like I said before, there was no connection between the house and the combined itself.
	That's where where we had, where we had blood, but we had evidence where we had inchments of a crime, we did search once I think that's between the two.
	We didn't search for it.
	You could have secured that house by officers standing in front of it and at least come to this jury and say, I went to a judge, explain to the judge.
	Eight people live in the house, eight people left the studio, and a few hours later, two people ended up dead, and the driver of the vehicle lied to us.
	All right, guys.
	So this is a good cross-examination.
	This is actually a very good example of a defense attorney properly cross-examining uh law enforcement and trying to poke holes in their investigation.
	About everything concerning the shooting.
	You could have done that, but it's not how it works, sir.
	Not how it works.
	Fair enough.
	How about December?
	They were already on that point.
	You sprayed this agent on things, and miraculously blood surfaces.
	You know that.
	Did you do that?
	Yes, sir.
	So yeah, doing a pretty good job on showing how the detective maybe could have done more, even now he's saying that he couldn't have.
	But it could make the jury be like, Wow, this guy didn't really investigate this the best.
	Who knows?
	Who knows what the jury is thinking?
	That conversation is not specific to the murder.
	That was it.
	Did you, in fact, threaten to have him be federally indicted?
	Yes or no?
	Yes, because it does.
	Did you in fact tell him that he would not see his kids for a couple of years?
	Plus we're I mean, we've heard throughout possibly.
	Oh man.
	The trial.
	So now you're trying to paint the officer as an aggressive individual now.
	Melly's mom got hurt by this guy.
	Like he like twisted her hand and tore some ligaments in Melly's mom's hand.
	He threatened to charge Melly's.
	I don't know if that's right from what from what I know.
	I heard that his manager 100 track is the one that gave the phone to the police.
	That's why a lot of people are like low-key pissed off at him.
	And I'll show you our picture 100 track real quick.
	Girlfriend with accessory after the fact, I believe.
	Did you, in fact, threaten Jameson Francois?
	Alex manager?
	Same same answer, sir.
	Realize the deadlines was quite arrest.
	Did you in fact tell him you would be deported to Haiti?
	Yes.
	Threaten James and Francois to be deported to Hayden, even though he's been in this country since five years.
	Yes, sir.
	Did you, in fact, threaten that he would all right, guys.
	This is um here.
	I'll show you a real real quick.
	Damn.
	Hold on, I'll pull it back up for you guys.
	Hold on.
	This is him.
	This is who they're referring to.
	This is Melly's manager right here, guys.
	All right.
	So they're saying that he's the one that gave the phones to the police.
	Oh, wait, hold on.
	Was this?
	How long do you oh 15 hours ago?
	Okay.
	So yeah, that 16 million that they mentioned in the trial.
	So he's talking about that.
	Interesting.
	And he privated all his other stuff.
	But anyway, I digress.
	Uh my bad.
	Not get fed and get any medicine in the Haitian jails.
	I don't know what that is.
	God damn, this detective was so that probably the fact that he threatened like that, that means that more than likely a hundred track might not be well, he's probably not a citizen, and he might be here on like a visa or some shit like that.
	Or he might be an overstay.
	You normally don't threaten people with immigration unless they have something that isn't all the way right about how they're here.
	Because he did mention that he's been here since he was five years old.
	So that probably means that his family came in uh on some kind of visa overstate, and he never actually got citizenship, you know.
	I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes, but damn.
	Threatening a witness, that's the game, guys.
	Nothing doesn't say that you can't let people know that there's consequences if they don't cooperate.
	You know, I used to do that shit all the time.
	Like, if you don't cooperate, hey bro, I know you're not here legally.
	I could go ahead and start getting that process going right now to get you deported.
	That's one of the best ways to get people to flip.
	It mean, yeah, legal, uh you damn right it is.
	You damn sure it is.
	That's how the FBI gets most dirty little secret for y'all.
	Most of the terrorist attacks that the FBI stops, nine out of ten times, it's because the HSI agent, my former agency, Um knew that the target that the FBI was looking at had uh you know some fucked up immigration shit.
	So it's very difficult to prove prove material support for terrorism.
	So if they can't prove that, they get us to come in, threaten them with deportation, blah, blah, blah, and then they cooperate.
	Because it's one thing to say, oh, you know, I'm a terrorist blah blah blah, but it's nothing to go back to your foreign country when you've been here the whole time, your whole life is here, and you know, you barely even remember how to speak that language.
	So that's a great way to develop informants, man.
	And um, that's why HSI is so important to JTTF.
	No one will ever tell y'all that though.
	Like Will's right.
	Do you think she objected before it even uh finished the question?
	Threatening a witness who tells you like the video, guys.
	No one on YouTube can explain to you in such intricate detail of how law enforcement really works.
	You know, let me know if that made sense to y'all with the FBI and JTTF, that whole explanation of immigration and how law enforcement uses it all the time to their advantage.
	Give me ones if that made sense.
	Because I know I speak fast and with a lot of jargon, and someone who isn't coming from that field might not pick up everything I'm saying, but if it's confusing, give me give me twos.
	If it makes sense, give me ones.
	Something that you don't like really gets to the truth.
	All right, perfect.
	And the JTTF stands for joint terrorism task force, guys.
	In fact, tell him that the jails are overcrowded, and we're in the height.
	It's disease written.
	Excuse my French, a ship.
	You're gonna know the rule.
	Consider these threats that you gave to these various witnesses.
	I'm actually on the notice how the defense isn't even attacking the evidence anymore.
	He's attacking the actual investigator, guys.
	All right, he's trying to show that he's biased, he's a bully, he's mean, he's unethical.
	He's he's doing all this to undermine the investigation.
	Follow that.
	Let me show you the list of suspects that we talk about.
	You actually got a list.
	This is true and I approach.
	You sign it for me.
	I mean, you did show the detective was you know doing some wild stuff, threatening people and lying and doing some crazy shit to witnesses to try to get well, there's nothing in the law that says you can't lie to suspects, guys.
	Dirty little secret law enforcement.
	They nothing says they can't lie to y'all.
	And to talk pretty keep that in mind, that's why you never talk to the police.
	Standard practice for the police and detectives, I mean, in general.
	Like I'm pretty sure I've heard of detectives doing that for years.
	So it's just what happens.
	That he needs not only the provider name, but the list of powers in a particular area, so that you can attempt a map out and tell a jury like this where the phones are located at a particular time.
	They have to disagree because the platform they use has.
	Why hasn't Luke Belmar been on the show?
	Uh maybe in the future.
	Just you know, a bunch of stuff going on.
	Uncle Luke goes, I love it when Myron gives the audience a special treat with a live stream.
	Also, 304 is better act correct when going overseas, like men have to.
	Yeah, bro.
	Yeah, I I really do be trying to give y'all the best quality content, man.
	So all I ask guys is you guys like the video.
	We got 1600, y'all in here, man.
	So just show some love.
	Alyssa Brown, two bucks, appreciate that.
	Uh Baton 63 goes, I watched from Rotterdam Holland, keep doing your thing, and Melia's guilty.
	Awesome, bro.
	I always love it when like foreign people or excuse me, um, people from foreign countries, etc.
	Watch this stuff because let's be honest, this is American criminal justice.
	So if I got a foreigner watching our stuff, no offense to you, or someone from another country, it's awesome because it shows that y'all are really like I'm explaining stuff good to you guys, and you're coming back for more, and you're starting to really understand the American uh criminal justice system, which is my whole goal with this channel to be honest with you guys.
	Show you how the court system works, law enforcement, how investigations are done, uh, and just give you guys a real deep insight into the law enforcement world.
	That's why I'm so diversified and make sure to give y'all different types of stuff.
	I cover terrorism, I cover hip-hop cases, I cover Rico cases, I cover organized crime like the mafia, uh, the Irish mob.
	I'm gonna cover the Russian mob very soon.
	I cover national security with spies and shit.
	I cover literally every class of crime um from serial killers to the only fan chick that killed her boyfriend to 9-11 to Osama to um freaking uh the YSL Rico, bro.
	I'm bringing y'all all kinds of flavor when it comes to um true crime, bro.
	So only thing I ask is y'all like the video, man, because we're better than Bailey Sarjan, man.
	I'm not over here putting fucking makeup on and talking about Jeffrey Dahmer.
	We're we're way deeper than that over here.
	All right, Uncle Luke goes, also enjoy yourselves in my beautiful place of Columbia.
	Uh and stay safe, stay away from those scalopaline 304s out there up in his B. Yeah, uh, definitely I'm gonna have my head on Switch Swival and I don't drink like that, guys.
	So you yeah, I'll be fine.
	Uh yo, we hit that goal.
	Get me on the show, cut.
	You find me?
	Yeah.
	Uh did the DA show enough to get the conviction?
	Um we'll see.
	They're probably gonna deliberate here very soon.
	Lenin just guilty, Uncle Ruckus.
	And then Natasha Reacts goes, if track 100 never gave up Melly's phone, prosecutors wouldn't have had anything on Melly.
	Phone got him convicted.
	Bam, there you go.
	See, that that's what I've been told by everybody that the phone came from 100 track.
	Um but yeah, you guys gotta understand that um if he didn't give that phone up, they probably would have charged him with like um impeding an investigation I tried to, you know, tell the state about this, and they didn't even have the main detective to even come in and talk to me to further this investigation.
	It makes it look like this the state is doing a sloppy job and they rush to judgment um in this particular case, and it even goes back to the defense's theory that they tunnel beached into Melly without doing all of their research.
	Yeah, and Bob Hiller, talking about targeting when I say the car was targeted, and sure, somebody could target a car that Melly would have been, they thought Melly would have been in, doesn't mean that that's that's admission.
	But targeting that the process defense can now argue that Melly was targeted by the prosecution, can't they with this witness?
	And and I've been a big one, but let me just say to say the defense should put on a case, but they don't really need to put on a case after this witness, they don't need to put on any more of a case.
	Well, and this is really a key alibi witness, and this is all about credibility.
	So if the jury believes this witness, Melly wasn't there when the crime happened, and game over.
	So, you know, it's a great way for the defense case to sort of end this trial.
	But again, the key here is credibility, and his demeanor looked pretty good.
	I mean, the jury is going to be very careful in their assessment on this witness.
	They're gonna watch to see whether it looks rehearsed, made up, whether it's inconsistent or whatever, and then they're gonna want to see how cross goes with this witness.
	But assuming that he handles Yeah, guys, the reason why law crime is biased is because these are all Melly fans in here.
	They're retarded.
	Let's see what they vote.
	Let's let's see how smart the general populace is, guys.
	Bruh then.
	We're doomed.
	Yo, what the hell?
	Y'all see this?
	Bro, sixty-three percent think he's not guilty.
	Yo, what the hell?
	All right, let's keep watching this shit.
	Himself well on cross.
	W. Maui.
	All right, let's rewind that recap look real quick.
	So we can catch all of it.
	We missed some of it.
	I'm so glad you're back to join us here with our live analysis on law and crime because so much is happening in that courtroom.
	As you know, I'm Linda Kenny Baden.
	Both sides rested today in the YNW Melly double murder trial in Broward County, Florida.
	Closing arguments are slated for Thursday.
	Uh, the 24-year-old Jamel Demons faces the death penalty in the 2018 shooting deaths of his two friends, Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr.
	Uh, Demons and his co-defendant Cortland Henry claimed they were the victim of a drive-by shooting, but the evidence suggested by the prosecution or in the prosecution says that the shots were fired from inside the vehicle in the position where Melly was sitting.
	But now we're listening to the one and only defendants witness who levied some bombshells in that courtroom this morning on behalf of the innocence claim of Y and W Melly.
	Let's listen to Adrian Davis.
	Have your daughter's father.
	You have no idea.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	At any time during school, did any of you have any problems with each other?
	None at all.
	Would you label yourself good friends?
	Associates, close friends, or what?
	Now did Melly also have a name besides Melly and Mel.
	You call them the crazy legs.
	Crazy legs.
	And why did why was he called Crazy Legs?
	And that's why you got that name.
	Was Melly uh a big kid, normal size?
	Uh when uh you guys were in school.
	Did there come a time that Melly?
	I'm referring to this young man, Janet.
	Did there come a time that Melly got involved in the music industry?
	Yes.
	Specifically rap music.
	Now you grew up where she still live up in that area?
	Joseph, where do you met?
	Where's the point?
	By the way, what did you do for my granddad owns properties, real properties and stuff real estate?
	So we just cut grass.
	Yeah, he's doing this to show that the guy is uh you know a good member of society.
	Because remember, he admitted that he had been drinking and smoking and shit.
	So the defense is trying to you know put him back in a better light.
	Whatever we need to do, keep the properties over.
	Okay.
	I want to draw your attention to the year of 2018.
	Did there come a time that you came down?
	2018's murder happened.
	Brower County, Miramar, Florida.
	Yes.
	About when was that?
	I don't remember exactly, but I want to say probably like September, July or something.
	Okay.
	And where did you stay?
	Who else was living at Jamel's house when he came down in August or September of 2018?
	Me, Chicobi, Melly, said, Julie, um, it was Christopher Thomas.
	Yes, uh Courtley.
	And was Melly and the rap music business at that time?
	Yes, up at least or did you all get along together?
	Yes.
	Were there ever any arguments?
	Fights?
	All right, let's see where we're at, because this is sensible that we heard before.
	Let me fast forward this and get back to their commentary.
	okay, because we saw this already.
	So I thought there were going to be something else, but.
	As the fence says, What are your thoughts of the Bob Hill over?
	Uh, we're coming out, and we're gonna take you back in, but I wanted to introduce our guest because there's some very important points here.
	Bridget Williams, criminal defense attorney, has joined Bob Hiller with me to discuss this case.
	Bridget, welcome back.
	Bridget, let me just tell you, as a former prosecutor, as a criminal defense attorney, I shouldn't be, but I am astounded that the lead detective never interviewed everybody who was in the red Mitsubishi.
	They're also can be considered possible victims.
	Certainly they have information.
	What are your thoughts about how this will affect the jury when Adrian Davis says that uh the the person on trial or the young man as a defense says left the Jeep and entered the Mitsubishi with Adrian Davis?
	Yes, yes, all of that, Linda.
	Well, I'll start by saying that the defense is making such a strong statement here about only having one witness.
	And that one witness is saying all of the direct things that we need to hear about Melly.
	It's not as convoluted.
	It's not as uh convoluted as the the prosecution may want you to think.
	That's what they're saying here.
	And even with all of that, when this young man, Mr. Davis is saying, well, Melly was in the car.
	Um, the red Mr. B she was us, he got out of the Jeep.
	And I tried to, you know, tell the state about this.
	And they didn't even have the main detective to even come in and talk to me to further this investigation.
	It makes it look like this the state is doing a sloppy job and they rush to judgment um in this particular case.
	And it even goes back to the defense's theory that they tunnel being into Melly without doing all of their research.
	Yeah, and Bob Hiller, talk about targeting.
	You want to say the car was targeted.
	And sure, somebody could target a car with that that Melly would have been, they thought Melly would have been in, doesn't mean that that's that's admission.
	But targeting that the process defense can now argue that Melly was targeted by the prosecution, can't they with this witness?
	And and I've been a big one, but let me just say to say the defense should put on the case, but they don't really need to put on a case after this witness.
	They don't need to put on any more of a case.
	Well, and this is really a key alibi witness, and this is all about credibility.
	So if the jury believes this witness, Melly wasn't there when the crime happened, and game over.
	So, you know, it's a great way for the defense case to sort of end this trial.
	But again, the key here is credibility and his demeanor looked pretty good.
	I mean, the jury is going to be very careful in their assessment on this witness.
	They're gonna watch to see whether it looks rehearsed, made up, whether it's inconsistent or whatever, and then they're gonna want to see how cross goes with this witness.
	But assuming that he handles himself well on cross, and um the jury finds that this testimony is credible.
	Um, I don't know how the state is gonna get around that uh in the jury deliberations, at least on beyond a reasonable doubt standard.
	Yeah, and quite frankly, I don't know how the prosecutor is gonna ever be effective in any cross when the prosecutor knew what he was gonna say because she interviewed him and never told the jury about it.
	And that talk about credibility, prosecutors and defense attorneys have credibility.
	Well, she doesn't necessarily have to disclose that, you know what I mean?
	It's not really like evidence like that, but you know, the reason probably why they didn't mention this because his interview is irrelevant compared to all the other, you know what I mean, uh piece of evidence they got.
	Like, okay, Melly's friends are lying, so who cares?
	They know they proved that from day one.
	The issues and cases also.
	Anyhow, we're gonna take a quick break.
	When we come back, we'll go right back into that courtroom to continue to hear the testimony, the bombshell testimony of Adrian Davis, which tends to exonerate YNW Melly.
	All right.
	Cool.
	Let's see whether I know Melly's house.
	Okay, so they're doing a risk by the coaches.
	Okay.
	So um, guys, I don't know if they're gonna go back until like later on this afternoon.
	So I might cut it here.
	Um, unless any of you got chats or got questions.
	Uh, in a day as goes, Myron and Myron, the friend black girl with them boys' lawyer was out here three or four and it up before her man can't make the show up.
	Wait, what?
	Really?
	No shit.
	No, I didn't I didn't know that.
	But you know how it is, bro.
	Like girls be I tweeted earlier that men sell women sell sex and men sell um women sell sex and men sell suc uh success, and men use success to get sexy women, and women use purity to get successful men.
	So y'all gotta remember that like the female strategy is to sell you purity, make you think that um, you know, she's only doing this for you, and then get you, you know, on some hook shit.
	Gotcha, bitch.
	So you gotta be able to read between the lines, and that's why it's so important, guys.
	I'm more partners.
	That's why I tell y'all, even though people get mad at me for saying the 50 thing, is to keep yourself from getting bamboozled and not wife and girls up that have had a certain past, you know, or at least if they did have a certain past and you're willing to look past it, at least you're going in with your eye why eyes wide open and not on some blue pill shit, you know.
	Uh, but that's very advanced for you to get with a chick that you know has so many red flags and you think you can still kind of tame her, it's not worth it.
	Uh, you gotta have a lot of game for That shit.
	It's not worth the fucking headache and the issues and the trauma that you're gonna deal with.
	Um, but yeah, guys, like the video, man.
	I haven't slept yet, so I think I'm gonna just pass out.
	Um, but yeah, share this video with a friend, guys.
	This is actually some pretty damn good testimony, and we went over what happened before so y'all should be pretty up to date with the trial.
	And uh yeah, love y'all, man.
	Uh, we'll be in Columbia tomorrow.
	So uh yeah.
	Don't do it, boys.
	Let's see here.
	Someone asked what I think about the verdict.
	I think he's gonna be guilty, guys.
	Go watch my original Melly video where I like broke all this down.
	I actually read the criminal complaint for y'all.
	Like, I think he's definitely gonna get found guilty, man.
	But uh anyway, brothers, I'll catch you guys on the next one.
	Peace.
	Menendez Brothers video drops Thursday.
	Guys, H S I. This is what Fed Reacts covers.
