Is this a repeat of an old share? Can't recall seeing it on here yet.. I am an alumni of Blaze and Sam's high school and saw this in a local group: ‘I want to find Blaze as much as you do’: Call from Blaze Bernstein’s alleged murderer to distraught parents played at trial

Edit: This one too Defense admits Blaze Bernstein's ‘unlawful killing’ but denies premeditation on first day of long-awaited trial

Are there other places to read about what has been playing out in court? I've considered going and sitting in
