The jury is finally back to hear Georgia’s case against alleged crime boss Jeffrey Williams. Before we get into the meat of the case, there was a threshold issue of if the jurors would be able to unring the bell that was Kenneth Copeland aka Lil Woody’s prior testimony.
Bracketing the likelihood of anyone actually being able to mentally ignore all of Woody’s prior bombshells, none of the jury members opted out & the trial continued. Woody took the stand and all hell proceeded to break loose.
Despite being the prosecution’s star witness, I doubt even Brian Steel could have picked someone to do a better job of smearing their credibility than what Woody did today. His testimony is like a highlight reel of the shit you never want a witness you’re relying on to say in front of the court and thousands of nosy Twitter onlookers in real time. You’ve got to see and hear this mess for yourself:
This just in! People may be willing to lie if it means avoiding jail time! That’s almost as surprising as discovering that some people are willing to be dishonest if it means they get to make a lot of money!
Woody went on to explain why he put the blame on Young Thug — it seems like he was just telling the police what they wanted to hear:
Unsurprisingly, the state eventually got him designated as a hostile witness:
Even leading questions might not be enough to salvage Woody’s testimony at this point, but at least they tried. This is the last thing he said before he went on a “I do not recall” spree:
The best outcome for Thugger’s team would have been if Steel won that the indictment was fatally defective. A close second has to be seeing the state’s star witness switch sides this aggressively.
