Back from lunch, the state is now showing a series of exhibits they intend to introduce in the next couple of days of testimony, starting with a video that has a series of tweets from Lil Wayne's Twitter account,
@LilTunechi, from back in 2015.
The tweets are part of a video compilation that is being played with a beat. And now a second video is being played that shows an MTV News interview between Young and Birdman. The video is actually from a blogger and they are using her video of the MTV news interview.
The state is using videos produced by a blogger as exhibits to show the conflict and relationship between Lil Wayne and Young at the time of the bus shooting in 2015.
The state's next exhibit is a video by blog KollegeKidd that includes a video of Shannon Stillwell and photos of Young .
The state is arguing a video in which Stillwell mentions rapper The Game. Glanville and Stillwell's attorney Max Schardt ask what does it have to do with Lil Wayne's bus shooting, Love said The Game became involved in the Lil Wayne/YoungThug beef.
Schardt is arguing that the video is prejudicial towards his client. Love argues that every piece of evidence is prejudicial."Every piece of evidence we have against their client are prejudicial because it shows that they are guilty," Love said.
Glanville has previously ruled on the Stillwell video but said he plans to look at the transcript and either change his ruling or keep it. Glanville has expressed some reluctance of the involvement of The Game in this case and in the evidence.
The next exhibits appears to be news articles that chronicle the beef between Young and Lil Wayne, including this article:
The next article that is pulled up is this one:
The state doesn't intend to introduce the articles as evidence but the goal was to help Glanville out so he can chronicle the beef between Young , Lil Wayne and The Game's involvement."It really doesn't help me that much," Glanville told Love.
Bruce Harvey's tablet just made a sound and Glanville is going to take possession of it until the day is over. He did the same with
@doug_weinstein's cellphone yesterday after it rang in court.
The state plans to introduce tweets from
@LilTunechi account, which they say belongs to Lil Wayne. Currently, on that Twitter account, the banner photo is a picture of the single Lil Wayne released recently that is a collaboration with YoungThug.
Steel said he doesn't think the state ever spoke to Lil Wayne, even if they didn't plan to call him to testify.
I went back and searched for the tweets, but I can't find them, so they might have been deleted, so that might be the reason the state is using these bloggers to introduce the tweets.
Steel brings up that Young and Lil Wayne are friends and collaborate in music together. Steel argues that the "beef" helps both artists by increasing publicity.
The state plans to play two jail calls involving Jimmy Winfrey, who is the alleged Lil Wayne bus shooter.
Court is done for the day. It appears the juror who was sick is feeling better and court will resume on Monday, as scheduled.
On the tweets the state is trying to introduce relating to the "beef" between Lil Wayne and Young , that were sent out from
@LilTunechi's account. Twitter allows you to search for posts and I haven't been able to find the tweets from April 1, 2015 and March 19, 2015.
