Judge Ural Glanville has taken the bench. Walter Murphy's testimony is expected to continue today.

It appears there are two jurors that haven't arrived to the courthouse.

Don't know what happened there, but the jury has arrived and Murphy is back on the stand testifying.

Murphy said he has never met Rich Homie Quan, who is still a part of the state's witness list.ADA Hylton is asking about "beef" between YSL and IF gang.


They are on a break until about 3:30 pm. Judge Glanville has unrelated matters to take care of.

Calm, matter-of-fact testimony in the Young trial this morning from a former Atlanta police officer who said she didn’t like responding to 911 calls so to avoid them she’d go to “high-crime areas” and look for people she could arrest on her accord.

Anyone curious why Young ’s trial is taking so long should watch this intro testimony from a former police officer and all the defense relevance objections getting overruled.I’d say we’re going to be here forever, but can jurors really serve for the rest of their lives?
