Brian Steel gets swarmed by Lil Durk fans while leaving the courthouse following Durk being found NOT GUILTY on all counts in his murder-for-hire trial

Brian Steel: “His (Lil Durk) suit of armor is the fact that Mr. Banks is presumed innocent. That is Mr. Banks suit of armor. It’s up to the government to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If he just has one piece of armor left, he’s still presumed innocent.”

Brian Steel played phone calls and showed emails to the jury of communications from Hester, including messages meant for Kavon Grant, calls to his wife and a treat he made to his sister.

OTF JAM, also known as Kacey Hester, is currently testifying. JAM testified he was a leader in Black Disciples and was known as a “shooter,” explaining there were roles in the gang.
