[@ltravail]

It's almost sad watching the defense struggle so terribly to put up a fight for their clients because they really have nothing to work with. Their arguments are so flimsy and full of non-sequiturs that it's hardly an argument at all. Nothing follows logically in their presentation. Actually it's a rather awful presentation and argument. It's just desperately throwing not-so-subtle innuendos against the wall hoping something will stick with at least one juror on the panel who might then deadlock the case. They would have been better off simply petitioning for mercy from the court. Since they really have no other legitimate defense the only strategy was to cause as much disruption in the court with various mistrial and other questionable motion, and to plant as much nonsense into the minds of the jurors to confuse them as they can. However, the defense attorneys, in their desperation, are coming off as even worse than the McMichaels' and Bryan...and that's not good for their clients.

[@richardmilliken8705]

These 3 stooges could've pulled this off if they had kept their mouths shut and if Roddie had never video-taped the murder. The overwhelming self-incriminating evidence made this a slam-dunk for the Prosecution Team. The Judge did a great job in handling this case and he was fair toward bothsides.

[@benzocorbynista3321]

She knows all the jurors share the 'American dream' but she failed to impress them on the facts of the case. She failed to concretely create reasonable doubt in all but one count. Linda Dunikosi's stellar performance took the jurors into the defendants' actions and mindsets (in their own words), to the 'scene' (using the recordings) and gave them a criminal law tutorial on the charges, the applicable law and defences. Most importantly Linda invited them to convict if the threshold is met or acquit otherwise acquit. In the end the jurors were more convinced by Linda Dunikoski and duly convicted. Ps Poetic justice that her dog whistle against Ahmaud will now await his convicted murderer client.

[@ltravail]

The entire case is tragic from beginning to end...from top to bottom...from the original DA who refused to charge the defendants on down to the local police who declined to investigate. I don't think anyone believes these guys went out with the intent to kill someone. But their ill-advised actions to take matters into their own hands based on biased assumptions led to that tragic outcome. For that, they should be penalized. But life in prison for murder is way over the top for this unfortunate incident. That would be as tragic as the death of an innocent man they caused. No matter how you look at it, it's a damn shame that this happened...for everybody involved.
