Prosecutors are now playing the video for the judge. Jury is out of the room. #McTearTrial

There are some technical difficulties, but McTear can be heard saying "15 for life" a reference to his neighborhood. #McTearTrial

Remember the line, "It's a dirty game"? The defense does not want jurors to hear that. #McTear said that to reporters after his arrest.

Tampa Bay Times Live ‏@TBTimesLive 1m
Defense objects to jury viewing the video bc, in it, reporters ask McTear if he threw a baby out of a car window. #McTearTrial

Tampa Bay Times Live ‏@TBTimesLive 1m
Prosecution says the video should be admitted. “His statements are very cavalier, they are very blasé” prosecutor says. #McTearTrial

 

[Jewels53]

Tampa Bay Times Live ‏@TBTimesLive 1m
Defense is arguing again. Says there's no "evidence that Mr. McTear had the vaguest notion of the details of what he’d been arrested for."

Mr Defense attorney is very upset!

Judge sides with the prosecution. The jury may view the video of McTear's perp walk. #McTearTrial
