1st Degree? They’re trying to kill this young man.

Prosecution should manslaughter. They’d have a real case for that.
 
It's crazy how black people can't defend ourselves. We're supposed to just stand there and not fight back. Meanwhile white boy chokes out a homeless guy on the train and get acquited.

Didn't the white boy's father say his son has a history of bullying people? Defense should get him to testify.
 
First degree? So they pretty much have to prove he intentionally wanted to kill the white kid that day?

not necessarily

depending on the state


1st degree (if it's premeditated) doesn't jus mean it was planned out days/wks in advance


it could be the moments leading up to the incident




so w/ him sayin sumn like "touch me & see what happens" or whatever could be spun to show premeditation
 
If they can prove that knife was in his bag for a long time leading up to this event (especially if he brought it to prior events), they won’t be able to prove first degree. This significantly improves his chances of getting off.
 
If I was a juror on this trial. "touch me & see what happens" is the same as "Beware of dog".

You were warned.

true


but I wouldn't be surprised if the prosecution is like


"it was at this moment he decided to kill w/ no threat present" or sumn like that





all he needs is 1 juror tho
