    6:07 - Correction. It wasn't unexpected: the prosecutor had been warned twice about the content of this exhibit, in advance of this witness testifying. Once by the defence council (seen on the livestream), and once at a bench conference with the judge (not viewable on the livestream, but mentioned in court). It also wasn't "unsolicited", the prosecutor asked the witness to read aloud the caption of his Instagram post, and specifically directed him to read aloud the next hashtag, which should have been redacted from the hardcopy of the exhibit that she had handed to him (and which *was* redacted from the version that she was showing on-screen to the jury). She actively solicited that testimony from this lay witness. How difficult is it to print off a redacted version of an exhibit, so as to avoid a potential issue that you have already been warned about twice?

    Thug should not - take any plea that doesn’t include no probation at all. Perhaps a restitution, time served and 100 hours of community service. The end.

    If Thug stays the course and is exonerated he may be able to sue the state for false arrest and recoup finances list plus pain and suffering.

    A choice was made here. All of the lawyers in Atlanta and they chose grimaced & ronalds lovechild to speak on it. What a joke of a city.
