Brian Steel just told multiple lies during cross examination. He claimed Quando โanointed Lil Tim as King Tim after killing Vonโ (false, this was a random Savannah rapper who did this). FBI agent on stand insanely agreed this lie was true. He also said multiple times Lul Tim murdered Kong Von. (False, the murder charges were dropped and the killing considered self defence) Bet everyone so concerned about โfactual reportingโ wonโt repost that today tho ๐
I been around niggas that talked bad about the next nigga as he was walking up/approaching us .. dap em up and chop shit like nun happened reason why ion trust nun or fw these bitch ass niggas
Lil Durk DAY 3 DEFENSE:
In their opening statements, the defense painted the following picture:
DEFENSE opening statements:ย
The defense argued Banks was not the leader and said the evidence will show he wanted to uplift others and provide opportunities. They told the jury that the history leading up to the murder goes long before the prosecution wants the jury to know, highlighting that Kavon Grant and Dayvon Bennett (Nicknamed King Von) were cousins and extremely close. They detailed that Grant managed King Vonโs finances, lived with him, and the two even shared a bank account.ย
Defense reiterated multiple times the two were close as could be, and said Grant was there when his cousin was shot in 2020.
The defense said one of King Vonโs final words to Grant was: โWhy did you let me get shot?โ
They agreed with the prosecution that this murder was driven by a need for revenge, but said Grant enacted that revenge, not Banks. They stated the texts and messages the prosecution would show as evidence was taken out of context. They highlighted that Banks was not a leader โ they further said people did not even listen to him.ย
The defense stated that Banks was a successful well-known face, which is why the prosecution was looking to blame him.ย
When Grant was approached as a search warrant was being executed at his home, the defense stated, a โlightbulbโ came on.ย
They said Grant told officials, โWhoโs credit card was used?โ alleging Grant knowingly used the company card and turned it on Banks when he was pressed.ย
The defense said it is confident it will prove to the jury that Grant was the mind behind the operation.
