I hope these all the witnesses are getting counseling but at the very least the younger ones.

I understand why the prosecutors are calling them - it seems like they're trying to head off a defense of "it was a volatile crowd" and to introduce video evidence - but I really worry about the impact it has to have on them. I'm trying to follow along with the trial, but do it intentionally/not when I need to be focused on work during the day. It's hard.

Eric Nelson defense is a tool. gavel
if the firefighter WAS THROWING gasoline on a burning building I'm pretty sure the crowd would react the same as this crowd.
Hes making a false equivalency here.

The firefighter who was off duty on scene just responded to douchenozzles question about being upset with 'if you've ever seen anyone be killed you'd be upset too'

That was a clip they showed on ABCNews for the evening broadcast and it was so sad to see her emotions. None of what happened that day was ok and I feel so badly for the people there still dealing with the trauma.

Is anyone watching the store surveillance video? I was and I am trying to figure out what is happening. Also why no one was masked (but that is another story)

Most of 2020 is a blur There were a lot of people wearing masks during protest and stuff afterward but yeah there were no state mandates until July, though I think that some stores like Costco and stuff did their own beforehand. I can't remember much either haha.

Ok, this situation is beyond fucked up. The store sent an 18 year-old out twice to talk to someone about using a fake bill. That was so dangerous to begin with.

Omg this poor young man. He feels guilt over pointing out the fake $20 bill.

This poor man on the stand just broke down. He had been trying to get George to cooperate and get in the squad car.
They had to recess the court

The trial is getting wall-to-wall live coverage locally, is it airing like this all over the country on local and cable news stations?
I had a pit in my stomach yesterday because one of the witnesses was underaged during the murder so they weren’t showing her face during testimony, but then on Twitter a news station posted a still shot of this teenager circled and showing her face in the crowd that day. I don’t understand why they would do that.

This witness called the cop a maggot. He may be my favorite person.

Every single one of these witnesses is so incredibly powerful.
But I think this last gentleman was the most so far.
I can't even form the words to describe my feelings right now.

I am watching, because I think it is important. It's weird watching a trial I am not a part of though, either as attorney or when I was on the other side of the bench, as the judge's clerk.
Will be interested to hear what this business ops cop has to say about the surveillance.
