At #TimBosma murder trial we're hearing more of accused killer Mark Smich's rap lyrics... (1/2)

There's a one day discrepancy between the WS forum and the reporter tweets spreadsheet regarding the trial day #, resulting from last Monday's adjournment before any witnesses took the stand. Websleuths is on Day 36 while the reporter tweet spreadsheet is on Day 37.

:gaah:

Just something to keep in mind if you're comparing info across different sources.

Will the jury see the rap lyrics as damning for MS, or simply as a wannabe rapper's fantastical words?

I'm not sure. There are a lot of rap lyrics filling the airways these days but most of those who write them are not actual killers, IMO. Rap lyrics often express racist, misogynistic, and violent themes and language, IMO, yet a lot of ordinary young people are fans of it, IMO. I'm no fan of rap music in general, although there are a few exceptions that I do appreciate, but much of it I see as a rebellious expression of youth raging against the establishment they reject while glorifying a gangsta and celebrity sub-culture they wish to identify with because it is considered "cool", IMO. I don't know what to think. lol

All MOO.

I think the rap lyric testimony is pretty weak. Let's see what else the text experts have recovered. JMO

I agree, and TD must think so too or he would have cross-examined the witness, IMO.

All MOO.

I don't know about the jury but I wasn't as sold on Smich's participation in this thing until that SAY10 thing was released the other day. Its easy to say a kid made some bad choices in life, but to label yourself as the evil incarnate, is a whole different story. For me anyway.

I still think the shifting goal posts on the standard of admissibility of evidence is strange. How is it that other evidence on DM's character is inadmissible because it's not directly relevant to the charges in this trial, yet MS's rap lyrics are admissible? As far as I'm concerned, they are just typical rap lyrics, and if they indeed implied a direct proclivity to murder, then every rapper should be picked up right now and charged. IMO, though I personally detest rap, and detest MS, I have to wonder why those are allowed into evidence. WTH do they prove?
