#TheTrialDocket: During deliberations, the jury requested a television, bank records, rap lyrics and several other exhibits. More than likely, the television was requested so jurors could watch #YellaBeezy’s VladTV interview, where he said he would get his “lick back” after someone shot him. When Vlad asked whether he would forgive someone who shot him, referencing another rapper who had forgiven those responsible for shooting him, Beezy made it clear that he would not.
#TheTrialDocket: #YellaBeezy’s mugshot has been released following his booking into the Dallas County Jail. He is expected to be transferred to a state prison in the coming days, where he will begin serving his sentence. #Mo3
#TheTrialDocket: In true fashion, Prosecutor Tommy Adams delivered an interesting rebuttal during closing arguments in #YellaBeezy’s trial.
Referencing a video showing the Dallas rapper fighting #Mo3’s manager, Adams called Beezy “Whatchamacallit,” just as Mo3 called him, before mocking Beezy by mimicking his words from the video: “I BEAT HIM UP!”
#TheTrialDocket: #TrapboyFreddy’s name has surfaced repeatedly throughout the #Mo3 murder prosecutions, sometimes as much as Yella Beezy’s. But Freddy was never indicted for Mo3’s murder.
Detective Barnes previously testified that investigators could not establish the alleged financial connection through Freddy’s bank records, citing his drug dealing and the lack of sufficient banking activity to trace.
Do you think it’s fair to keep mentioning him?
#TheTrialDocket: Did you know that the jury can find parts of #JoseBodega’s testimony credible without believing everything he says? Jurors can believe certain portions of his testimony while rejecting other portions they find unreliable. So even if they believe he lied about certain details, that doesn’t automatically mean they’ll disregard his entire testimony. The question is which parts, if any, they find credible after considering all the evidence. #TheDocketDiva #YellaBeezy #Mo3
#TheTrialDocket: Chile, Jose Bodega is already walking back his grand jury testimony, and we are barely getting started.
Bodega testified that he did not recall any beef between Yella Beezy and Mo3.
Prosecutor Tommy Adams then presented Bodega with his own prior statements from grand jury proceedings in an attempt to refresh his recollection.
He said:
He made up the claim that Yella Beezy and Mo3 had a problem with each other.
He didn't actually know whether the two had beef. He also said he did not want to repeat his grand jury testimony because it was a lie. He eventually agreed that he did previously say there was beef between Yella Beezy, Trapboy Freddy and Mo3.
The judge ultimately directed Bodega to answer the question and instructed the jury on impeachment, explaining how his prior inconsistent statements could be used against him.
Bodega is now directly disavowing statements he previously made under oath. The prosecution can use those prior statements to impeach his credibility.
However, impeachment does not automatically establish that the statements he previously made were true.
The jury will have to evaluate his credibility and determine what weight, if any, to give those prior statements.
To be clear, Bodega cannot simply invoke his Fifth Amendment right to avoid answering these questions. He has an immunity agreement that removes his privilege against self-incrimination for the covered testimony.
The State needs Bodega to provide credible testimony.
#TheTrialDocket: #JoseBodega took the stand during a HEARING, not before the jury.
He never officially testified as a witness during the trial. His appearance occurred during a hearing held during a break in the proceedings, outside the jury’s presence.
His decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment during that hearing does not automatically prevent him from testifying later.
The same Fifth Amendment concerns that led him to refuse to answer questions is why an immunity agreement became necessary.
With immunity in place, the State may be able to compel his testimony without exposing him to prosecution for the matters covered by that agreement. Pleading the Fifth during a hearing and refusing to testify before a jury are not the same thing. #YellaBeezy
#YellaBeezyTrial—#TheTrialDocket: Can a judge prevent #JoseBodega from invoking his Fifth Amendment right?
Basically, a judge can determine whether the privilege applies to specific questions. But that doesn’t mean the court can simply take away his constitutional protection against self-incrimination.
Here’s what the law allows and what it could mean for Bodega’s testimony. We’ll hear the judge’s ruling tomorrow.
#TheTrialDocket: We’re in Day 3 of the #YellaBeezy trial, and we’ve yet to hear new information connecting the Dallas rapper to #Mo3’s murder. So far, testimony has focused on the killing itself and how #KewonWhite gunned Mo3 down. Is that necessarily a red flag? No. But it does raise the question: When will prosecutors introduce the evidence connecting Yella Beezy to the murder?
#TheTrialDocket: Yella Beezy Trial
Today, we’ve heard from crime scene analysts who are helping establish the narrative surrounding Mo3’s murder. Many of these witnesses weren’t questioned by the defense, but Detective O’Donell was.
The defense questioned Detective O’Donell about the money found on Mo3, including the condition of the bills. The money was crisp, and Mo3 was found with 124 $100 bills, totaling $12,400, as part of nearly $18,000 in cash.
The defense appears to be establishing that carrying large amounts of cash is common among rappers. In that context, the fact that Yella Beezy allegedly withdrew $40,000 doesn’t necessarily mean anything on its own.
Can prosecutors connect that withdrawal to the alleged payment for Mo3’s murder?
#TheTrialDocket: A detective testified that #Mo3 had $17,960 in cash when he was fatally shot.
The money was found in multiple locations: inside his pants, in his backpack and as loose cash inside the vehicle he was traveling in.
Investigators also found a box of jewelry among the items recovered from the vehicle.
This information was also presented during #KewonWhite’s murder trial, where he was found guilty of killing Mo3 in November 2020. #YellaBeezy
#TheTrialDocket: Day one took a turn when Jocylynn Jackson, the last person to see #Mo3 before he was killed, took the stand.
The defense challenged her credibility by confronting her with statements she allegedly made to detectives the night Mo3 was killed and later to prosecutors. Jackson disputed some statements and said she couldn’t remember others. The defense also questioned her recollection of key details.
The defense was also raising questions about Devin Brown and whether there may have been another motive.
Attorneys brought up Jackson’s child support lawsuit against Brown, an alleged assault and a video from October 2020 showing Brown’s children wearing Mo3’s chains and making money fans. Jackson testified Brown blocked her from contacting him, but said she didn’t know if the video was why. The mother-of-two became visibly upset when the video was played because it showed her children.
Brown is expected to stand trial next month and also faces the possibility of life without parole. But his case is separate from #YellaBeezy’s, and evidence of conflict does not establish who was responsible for Mo3’s killing.
The defense is attacking the credibility of a key witness while putting an alternative motive theory before the jury. Those arguments may raise questions, but will that be enough to plant reasonable doubt?
#TheTrialDocket: Jocylynn Jackson testified that there was beef between Mo3 and Yella Beezy. But she also told prosecutors that Mo3 told her he didn’t have an issue with #YellaBeezy, but had an issue with #TrapboyFreddy. Yet on the stand, she said she didn’t tell prosecutors that.
If prosecutors allege Beezy paid to have Mo3 killed, how does that testimony fit into the state’s theory of motive? And with differences between her prior statements and current testimony, questions about Jackson’s credibility are becoming harder to ignore.
#TheDocketDiva
#TheTrialDocket: The defense is using the state’s own evidence to challenge #JocylynnJackson’s credibility. This time, the prosecution objected, but the judge overruled it. Will this challenge her credibility? #TheDocketDiva
According to the defense, Jocylynn Jackson told prosecutors that Mo3 really disliked Freddy but Mo3 didn’t have an issue with Yella Beezy. But she disputes saying he didn’t have an issue with Yella Beezy.
The prosecutors objected due to improper impeachment but it was overruled.
#YellaBeezy
#TheTrialDocket: The first part of Day 1 largely followed the same play-by-play as #KewonWhite’s trial.
One thing that stood out to me was Mo3’s mother, Nichole Noble, testifying that she named #YellaBeezy, #TrapBoyFreddy, his manager Brandon Rainwater and his bodyguard Shawn Griffin as possible suspects after Mo3 was killed.
I also found it interesting that the prosecution’s opening statement was fairly general, without many specific details.
Press play for my analysis.
#TheTrialDocket: Two Black women are among the 12 jurors deciding #RodneyHinton’s fate. With jury deliberations now in day two and no verdict yet, is their presence making a difference in the jury room?
Hinton, the Cincinnati father accused of killing Hamilton County Deputy Larry Henderson hours after watching video of his son being fatally shot by a police officer, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Jurors are weighing two aggravated murder charges and must also determine whether Hinton met Ohio’s legal standard for insanity at the time of the killing.
Do you think the jury’s makeup could play a role in how jurors view the evidence in this case? #TheDocketDiva
CORRECTION: I misspoke in the video. Rodney Hinton’s vehicle struck a utility pole before bouncing off and striking Deputy Larry Henderson. I wanted to clarify the sequence of events for accuracy.

#TheTrialDocket: #TYREEKHILL ACCUSES ESTRANGED WIFE #KEETAHILL OF TAKING $60K DESPITE $15K MONTHLY ALLOWANCE
Tyreek Hill accused his estranged wife, Keeta Hill, of taking $60,000 from him despite receiving a $15,000 monthly allowance.
While testifying in their civil lawsuit, the NFL player said the alleged incidents occurred both before and after their marriage.
Hill testified that he had a “family card” intended for miscellaneous expenses and household purchases. He alleged that Keeta used the money for purposes beyond those expenses.
“Babe, why are you stealing money from me?” Hill recalled asking her. He said he told Keeta that she only needed to ask if she needed anything.
Hill further testified that Keeta justified taking the money by pointing out that he gives money to other people. #TheDocketDiva
#TheTrialDocket: After three weeks of testimony, the #NicoleLinton murder trial is now at closing arguments, with the jury expected to begin deliberating Friday morning, @latimes reports.
At the center of the case is whether Linton knew her actions were dangerous and consciously ignored that risk. Prosecutors say her speed and actions before the crash support the murder charges. Her defense says she suffered a seizure and was unconscious when the crash happened. Linton faces up to 95 years in prison if convicted on all six murder counts. Now the jury will have to weigh the evidence and decide whether prosecutors proved the charges beyond a reasonable doubt.
Stay tuned for updates! #TheDocketDiva
#TheTrialDocket: The prosecution spent weeks arguing #NicoleLinton intentionally drove through an intersection and caused 6 deaths. Now they’re arguing the medical emergency may have happened, but she should have prevented it.
That’s a pretty significant change in the way this case is being presented to the jury.
According to Attorney Tiffani Blacknell, whose husband represents Linton, prosecutors are now focusing on Linton’s bipolar diagnosis and her decision to stop taking medication.
The argument appears to be that even if Linton suffered a medical emergency, she is still responsible because she knew about her condition and stopped taking medication that could have prevented it.
But the defense has presented evidence that Linton was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder. She stopped taking the medication because, according to the defense, it wasn’t working and she was misdiagnosed.
A defense neurologist testified that the medication would not have prevented the medical event he believes Linton experienced.
So now we have a prosecution theory that seems to be moving from she intentionally did this to even if she didn’t intend to do this, she should have known better.
If the defense is correct that Linton was misdiagnosed and the medication would not have prevented the neurological event, prosecutors have to overcome a much harder question:
How was Linton supposed to prevent something she didn’t know was going to happen? #DocketDiva #TheDocketDiva
