Akademiks scared and nervous about this Durk verdict. Cause he feel guilty for all his instigating content over the years. This is the hottest it’s ever got for him.
💭 PART OF ME FEELS LIKE DURK’S TEAM SHOULD’VE TRIED TO USE THESE 2 CLIPS AS EVIDENCE 👀
The argument could’ve been that Durk was actively trying to discourage people around him from retaliating and was attempting to move away from the revenge mindset.
In the Club Shay Shay interview, Wallo literally says Durk had him come speak to people around him, hoping he could inspire them to change when him and Gillie did The Million Dollaz Worth of Game Episode With Him.
📅 The Timeline Is Important:
• March 10, 2022 — The Million Dollaz Worth of Game interview was released.
• August 19, 2022 — The alleged Lul Pab shooting occurred.
That’s roughly 5 months between the interview and the shooting.
🤔 MY QUESTION: Could the defense have used those clips to argue that Durk had already started changing his mindset and was encouraging the people around him to do the same before the shooting happened?
Obviously, the prosecution could argue the clips don’t prove what Durk intended months later.
But as a defense argument, I think it could’ve been worth exploring. 👀
