the other issue is the jury might be
hearing words and translating it
themselves and they're supposed to be
listening to the translator you know the
other issue I wanted to ask you uh Trey
if you are listening in on this which I
know you are one of the things is this
is a defense witness how do you think
the attorney for the defendant is
handling the questioning of this
particular
witness has already been discussed it's
it's hard when you have a witness that
has to testify through a translator uh
you lose a lot of that connection with
the JY uh the other difficulty is just
how far away this particular individual
was from everything that was happening
um and in terms of just being able to
see everything but overall I would say
the defense attorney is doing a good job
it's just it's Landing very cold very
flat in terms of its testimony it's it's
not super compelling uh it's going to be
difficult to to move to with the jury
with this particular witness given this
testimony exactly all right I still have
with me Trey Gober and Dante Mills I'm
going to start with you I think I'll
start with Trey this time uh Trey one of
the things that pilin told the
prosecutors that he wishes he did things
differently that day do you think that
is going to help the defense I mean
what's is it like an admission is it
like maybe he could have done things
differently that day
I mean the defense is going to hang
their hat on everything that they can uh
I think that's an honest response
anytime anytime something like this
happens we we as humans should look back
and see what could we have done
differently whether we were at fault or
not uh to have made things different or
had a different result at the end of the
day that that's only human that's
natural um that's honest and credible
and so the prosecution shouldn't have a
hard time flipping that uh in their in
their closing rebuttal uh if that if
that is part of the defense's strategy
in their closing what is your thought
about the chaotic scene that was taking
place out
there well it was certainly a chaotic
scene however I think what it's
ultimately going to come down to is who
approach who and we have video to
demonstrate uh you know that Mr mu
approached the group of Bo first
it it was it was chaotic but he was the
one who injected that that um that that
that into the situation um you know and
then there's going to be the question of
who threw the first punch so it it was
it was a scene all the way around
everybody is drinking everybody was
Rowdy um but the jury's gonna have they
have video they don't have to guess on
what happened and when and Trey do you
agree do you think this sentence is a or
is or do you think it's appropriate I
mean what kind of message does it
send well I think the message that has
to be sent that's really important is
that this defendant is going to be
treated like every other defendant just
because this is a high-profile
well-known publicized matter uh this
defendant should receive the same
Justice uh be subject to the same
justice system as everyone else and so
uh if this was not a high-profile
defense
given the charge given the findings of
the jury these results at all wouldn't
be that surprising I'm glad that there
is accountability that there's an
opportunity to learn from what happened
here so that doesn't happen again uh but
I'm not at all surprised and I don't
disagree with the result exactly I think
there will be people feeling differently
on both sides but I do think it makes
sense under these
circumstances exactly and Trey you know
we have information that this has
already hurt his career
we know that he was dropped we reported
about that earlier how do you think this
sentence is going to affect his career
do you think that Marvel will now look
at him or other Studios will look at him
and say all right he is going to have
this time but he's not going to be
behind bars this is an appropriate
sentence and you can come back to acting
or is this going to affect his career
for the rest of his
life that's hard to say you know
certainly as time passes and depending
on his his response to these uh these
courses and the punishment that he's
received if it seems like there's
there's truly a lesson learned here on
his part and not just a doubling down on
denying accountability I could see
eventually he could he could get back
into in into U you know being offered
contracts again for performing in the
future but it's just going to be a
matter of time uh to see if the public
willing to forgive him uh for what
happened here and in part it's going to
depend on the resolution of the Civil
Case uh that that's pending if the if
the the plaintiff the the alleged victim
in this case or the victim in this case
uh ends up making recovery and as part
of that recovery you know says okay
she's been compensated and justice has
been done that's going to go a long way
to helping his career in the future all
right Trey I want to ask you about
another motion that was filed by Brian
steel after he wanted to limit the
lyrics that were brought into the case
judge Glanville denied that motion
what's your thought on that there's been
a lot of discussion about
this yeah so you know we're goingon to
constantly see this more prejudicial
than probative discussion you know just
because something is true just because
something was said in a lyric is is that
going to is that probative to help the
jury decide the elements of the charges
that they're going to be presented in
the Court's charge at the end of the day
certainly we know why the prosecution
wants to bring those lyrics in the
defense you know position is look this
is really just trying to to aggravate to
to Really incite the jury with what how
severe some of these lyrics are and
especially on how they relate to the
actual charges so this is always
discretionary on the part of the court
it's not a surprise that the court
allowed the lyrics in it's going to be
something for the defense to try to
clean up in argument
