Earlier, the man who tipped Brunswick police to 18-year-old De’Marquise “Marky” Elkins and co-defendant Dominique Lang, 15, as suspects, testified that his conscience led him to act, not the reward.

“I didn’t do this for the reward money. Can I say this? Whoever had the guns to shoot a baby... I’m doing this for my conscience,” Argie Brooks said.

A psychology professor from Georgia State University testified about how witnesses are often mistaken while identifying attackers because of stress and police suggestions.

“When you go to retrieve that memory, it’s been updated and influenced by all these things,” said Dr. Heather Kleider.

Another expert witness, firearms examiner Jay Jarvis, testified that his analysis agreed with the crime lab conclusion that it is impossible to prove the gun police recovered had fired the bullets removed from West and Antonio.

Um... yeah. I'm sure his buddy who fingered De'Marquise as the gunman was "mistaken" too.

Testing the social justice arm of the gov. If they exibit a propensity to drugs and murder they must be excused and understood along these lines and not be held responsible for thier actions.

A psychology professor from Georgia State University testified about how witnesses are often mistaken while identifying attackers because of stress and police suggestions.

Then went on to say most liberals are baby killers anyway so whose able to pick one person out of that pool?

“Reasonable doubt.” That’s the name of the game. And, the jurors are being “gamed” big time. Momma selling crack...Did it for insurance money...story “didn’t add up..” I’m surprised they didn’t try saying the baby in the stroller made a furtive move.

Perhaps these young people (who were about to turn their lives around) were influenced by Dr. Khalid Muhammad who in a merciful mood said, “I say, if they don’t get out of town, we kill the men, we kill the women, we kill the children, we kill the babies, we kill the blind, we kill the cripple, we kill the crazy, we kill the faggots, we kill the lesbians, I say goddammit we kill them all! If they are white, kill ‘em all!” I am surprised that the defense has not brought up the fact that, in spite of his age, Antonio Santiago was a well known crack dealer. It was just a crack deal gone bad.

The baby's a legitimate target:

King Samir Shabazz: "If Blacks want to be free, Shabazz explained, “you’re going to have to kill some of these babies, just born three sec­onds ago. You’re going to have to go into the God damn nurs­ery and just throw a damn bomb in the damn nurs­ery and just kill every­thing white in sight that ain’t right.”"
