[00:00:00] Speaker 1: all right yes your honor okay folks uh i want to also thank you for your time and i want to thank you for your attention you here does not go unnoticed this system does not work unless you're sitting here and the state has a burden to prove this case beyond all reasonable doubt and that burden is a high burden they've got to resolve this case and prove each and every element beyond all reasonable doubt and it starts right here my client is clothed with presumption of innocence and that never removes and you don't lower that bar for anybody because if you lower the bar you're going to lower it for your family you're going to lower it for your children and you're going to lower it for yourself god forbid you're ever sitting in this chair this is a capital murder and the state has brought you a lot of speculation in a board iron when they said hey we're going to show you this puzzle with all the pieces some of them missing it's not your job to put the pieces in the puzzle it's not your job to interpret language and text it's not your job to speculate you know it's real easy to sit around and throw a lot of bad character evidence we call it propensity evidence let's play a song man if stephen king was sitting in that chair he'd get the death penalty this is music this is art mo three was a great artist one of the best and my client's a great artist one of the best and they were making money there's no motive to do anything to each other they were making money and if you look at look look at the song and listen to it it's music if you want to look at some text you all little ass kid bam you so immature that's sad that same nigger crying talking about his kids getting kept from him that same nigger can't get his kids only if you want to put it on the social media lame ass clown we brought you this defense exhibit 32 jocelyn jackson that's not a song that is the feud going on in this case second paragraph lame ass little boy your kid wait wait you get my kids when it's convenient for you but i'm going to show you mad miserable ass something i don't give a fuck about none of that crying shit you done trying to make me look like a bad person tired of being nice to you you got some growing up to do you want a beef you so motherfucking bad want to have a problem so motherfucking bad when shit can be so smooth lame ass kid but no more being nice on god cry your bitch facebook i don't care about no ho she sat up here and said i don't follow him on facebook no woman wants to sit there and put the father of their children under the ground but you know what happened on 11 11 she was telling barnes right over there she was telling his partner jabari howard she didn't know she was being interviewed he wished death on me he stuck a gun on me he's whipped me and we struggled through the assaults that she didn't want to admit when she'd been bitten in the face for talking to somebody on the phone and you know what's odd about this the state didn't bring anderson he's retired where is he they bring jackie northup over here to talk about devon brown's dvrs and they said hey special agent northrop how is your retirement you think they can't get anderson down here who was the first person to talk to devon brown the first person to sit there on video on video in an interview at the homicide department and talk about those assaults and talk about where he was and talk about what he was doing why did they bring anderson down here to do that because they wanted to bring barnes who was wearing two hats who gets up here and says yeah i reviewed this interview but i don't recall or maybe one saw toby asked him hey do you think you could have had the money he's a good dope dealer he's a low level guy but why do we have to bring out the fact that devon brown called kewan white 46 times between 11 10 and 11 11 over 12 hour period he's not just somebody given a location he's the recipient of this feud he comes back and says what you doing girl g i guess we'll try to play basketball again next year he's trying to deflected she says money she says money and you all knew she sat up here right from this witness stand right here and knew there was a feud because melvin noble mo three had put his chains on her kids and put it all over the internet and i played you the video we played you the video why do we have to play the video why does the defense have to fill the gaps why because it doesn't fit the narrative of the state you can go watch that video because what they're feuding on back here are these children and i submit to you in 2017 this investigation showed mo three was talking to jocelyn jackson and if anderson was on this stand he would tell you that it's not your job ladies and gentlemen to fill the gaps why does the state say hey you know what this phone data is right on point but when we bring up a point hey you know what that phone data isn't too good why does the state say hey you know what under oath fly guy down here from california 27 days they set up a 27 day trip marquis conway set up there in the hotel for 27 days and move around and then we have to bring you we bring you to fill in the gap no it's really only three it's really only three and then it got extended because when this event went down the city went crazy and you heard from miss scott who told you here are the records and here's what's going on and i'm just a marketer and when the prosecutor picks up the piece of paper she's not talking to my client that's not his phone number on that text she's talking to executives take that and look back i'm going to judge your honor those are directly from the defendants i cloud messages group chat and that's what came out on the testimony it was a group chat with the defendant thank you the jury will remember the testimony argument of the council is not evidence the only numbers on there on that and he knows it or california numbers and they say we need to talk to him i'm also going to object it's not california numbers in new york area coaches you're right on that that's the only time i'm not going to tolerate the council talking to each other i stand corrected 917 is new york 917 is new york but folks when you're listening to a story you got to trust the testimony it's not me i'm a lawyer i'm not evidence these people right here are lawyers they're not evidence so when they say we believe and we know they don't know they weren't there barnes wasn't there what these people show you from this witness stand is what you judge this case on and let's talk about some of those witnesses prosecutor says cedric bradley he signed a plea agreement but the next thing she doesn't tell you is he signed a plea supplement that says okay i'm going to work with the government i'm going to cooperate with the government and the plea supplement is the benefit where you get your sentence reduced if you cooperate and the plea supplement tells you that the government is the one who determines your truth and when i cross examined him and talked about his truth as you recall when he met with barnes barnes and united states attorneys because barnes was investigating murders he denied any knowledge of murders he said he didn't talk to anyone about murders and this part about keeping it in the street to the code he told you in 2023 when he sat down with the government you don't just go sit down and have coffee with the government they expect you to cooperate because he wanted to get a deal and he wasn't keeping it in the street he wasn't keeping it to the code he told you he signed that proper agreement in 2023 and this stuff about him being on point about getting shot in the rear a reverse proper is when they show you the evidence this stuff has been all over the internet that the video the discovery everything that he has already seen the government showed him the case the company said that he had five more minutes thank you ron cedric bradley's working a deal and the only way he can avoid life from uh the coffin county judge is if somebody picks up the phone and takes it off the judge's bench he cuts the deal with the d.a that's the only way that works ladies and gentlemen i don't have a whole lot of time and this is a case where this man's life you've got it in your hands you cannot lower the bar for the government you are the gatekeeper of this system if you don't do your job it doesn't work they have not proved this case beyond a reasonable doubt and you must have quit my farm because that's what the law says i want to thank you for your time
