Most of the questions the state is asking right now is about interviews Murphy had with detectives and investigators from back in 2015. Murphy is saying that he doesn't recall.
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.
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 went through his plea deal on this case, including the acknowledgments he made as part of his plea deal and the conditions of the plea, which included testifying truthfully.
Other conditions included possessing no guns, committing no criminal acts, agree to perform 300 hours of community service and that his probation could be suspended.
Among Murphy's acknowledgement were:- YSL, otherwise known as Young Slime Life, began as a neighborhood group, but evolved into a gang- YSL began in late 2012 in Cleveland Avenue - YSL associates are predominately active in Southeast Atlanta in the Cleveland Avenue area
Other Murphy's acknowledgement were:- (Murphy) was a founding member of YSL- YSL identifiers include: green or red bandana, wearing YSL or Slime words on clothes, wearing pendants with YSL or Slime- Red = Bloods; Green = Slime- YSL use several hand signs
Murphy also acknowledge that "Members of and associates of YSL have committed crimes in furtherance of YSL" including "murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, robbery, theft, illegal drug possession and illegal firearm possession.”
Murphy testified that, while he was in prison, nobody from YSL came to visit him or gave him money. Murphy repeated that he no longer has a relationship with Young or Shannon Stillwell.

The Young / YSL trial in Atlanta continues to be a daily spiral.“My colleagues in federal court would probably jail most of you.”- Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville
@meghanncuniff
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?
