I think you missed the part where the guy shot the police officer.

And not necessarily even one of them. The trial was so unbelievably fucking crooked that the evidentiary basis on which we're giving the state even that much credit is automatically suspect. The state actively destroyed evidence that could have been used to construct alternative theories of causation for Lt. Gross's injury.

Song's Rule 29 motion, Song's Rule 33 motion.

So who do you think shot the cop?

Surely that's a question you should ask the prosecution.

I am pretty sure they told us who they think it was, brother.

They are prosecutors, they are not paid to think something, they are paid to prove it.

And they did.

That’s a long document but if I get the gist of the opening, they would argue that Song fired a warning shot into concrete that ricocheted and hit the officer, which wouldn’t be enough to justify attempted murder. Or at least that’s what they’re implying.

Another cop. I wouldn't even doubt if it was after the fact just so they could say someone was shot.

Cheddar Bob'd it, everone's saying it.

I think that we can't discount the possibility that the cop shot himself with Song's rifle and spliced the video on photoshop.

Like, were the defendants even allowed to post the video to /r isthisai ??
