Love is hands down the most INCOMPETENT attorney I’ve ever seen.

[SmushyMcMushy]

This whole case is disrespectful! free the

Mr. Schardt leaning on the railing in front of the speaker and shaking his head, rolling his eyes, and laughing while they played the wiretaps killed me lmao. I seriously was cracking up listening to the state play calls where they talk about how long they've grown their hair and joking about a girl named Beautiful who doesn't live up to her name 😆 Like why are they playing this?!

The justice system is embarrassing itself.

[snikanderson]

"Think we all that are working are doing that" "chasing that money"😅😂😅😂

[YolandaisYolandaCooks]

This should have been a mistrial starting with Lil Woody.
This is a joke and embarrassment.

[Blessedempress]

Trying to play a game about the bullet holes in the car when in reality it’s just one.

[tiffaninichole]

If they don’t declare a mistrial… bruh. This is crazy. I get that these guys ain’t angels but they have to PROVE things against you. That’s a constitutional right as American citizens! ❤

[Frankenberry]

Love had brought witness after witness after witness.... No problem... Steele asks for two witnesses for a very specific purpose and Whitaker's like .. " we're not gonna do all that"

[peeweemathis]

The state should be ashamed to waste peoples time. A poor display of how to prosecute a case

[loveviakisses]

I’ve never heard of people being so paranoid about talking on the phone, but doing so much talking on the phone 😮

[sharonthompson]

Fani, Love, and the entire FC DA office need to be jailed. From a NY’er I pray Ga residents vote Fani Willis out.

[jgknows]

The evidence in this case is beyond weak and literally proves nothing about a RICO. The state should be ashamed to waste peoples time. A poor display of how to prosecute a case

[ashlynn_]

Steele laughing while Adkins is talking is sending me 🤣🤣😭

[Smokesession]

This case a joke mfs got more breaks then actual court time

[marcocole]

I wonder how many rico trials had 100 witnesses...

[utensils]

There is now way love passed the bar without cheating

[katiematthews]

Don't know who is on the call and the judge says okay. What a joke of a trial. This judge and prosecution should be downright ashamed but they're not cause they are corrupt. They are unclean and will definitely reap what they are sowing.

[tamarawilkins]

This case is total trash. Wasting these men’s time and money like this is crazy work.

This trial becomes more and more confusing every day. There are recorded phone calls that are unintelligible and have questionable relevancy, witnesses that are hostile rude, and to the outside world to which is being broadcast, does not put the judge in a position to make it appear she has control. Then there is another level of questionable knowledge, professionalism, and sketchy behavior by prosecution. The judge demonstrates bias between prosecution and defense by allowing state to ramble on and on....and on, yet she is ALWAYS rushing defense. She uses completely different body language, tone of voice, short, snappy, and annoyed uh huhs and mhmms with defense more often than not. With state, ESPECIALLY Love, she lets her ramble for DAYS, scolds her for taking too long, alliows all this word salad, threatens her with the underhanded things she does but within an hour, she's back to giggling with her, pointing her in the direction of how she should be doing her job. Guilty or not, so far i personally feel like this hasn't been a fair trial, mainly on the judge's behalf. I feel bad for the jury. I don't see how they could not be confused, distracted, and tired of it.
