Prosecutors show footage of the unreleased Redman music video.
Detective: Mr. Banks is shooting at an individual that oddly looks like Mr. Bowman. He stalks and shoots him multiple times.
Steel: I’m going to object to the word oddly
Judge Fitzgerald: It’s striked
Steel on cross: He (Rondo) was laughing at Bennett’s death. He anointed Lul Timm, King Timm, and he put that on social media. But Mr. Banks did not do this after the death of Mr. Robinson.
Detective: No
Steel: This was a fist fight. A melee. And he (Lul Timm) is not involved in the fight. He pulls out a semi automatic hand gun and Bennett lays on the street helpless. Rondo drags his body like trash. He carries him (King Von) like a piece of trash.
Steel: When was there ever self defense of Mr. Leeks or defense of others ?
Prosecutors: Objection
Steel: I’m asking his opinion
Detective: Individuals can be worried about their safety.
Steel: You know Lil Durk is an artist, correct. Artist connect with words. They paint pictures with lyrics. It’s an expression of art. You don’t like expression of art ?
Detective: I didn’t say that.
Steel: After the brutal murder. People who love that person get really hurt. Their entire being. Durk was hurt. They (King Von) did music together, right ?
Detective: Yes
Steel: You are taking people’s raw opinions and turning it into your narrative.
Prosecutors: Objection
Judge Fitzgerald: Overruled
Steel: People are grief stricken and sad they may say something. Is that true ?
Detective: That’s possible
Steel: What do you expect these people to think ?
FBI AGENT:
Steel: I hear a pregnant pause. So I’ll continue.
Steel then asked why Leeks’ charges were dismissed for shooting King Von.
Detective said he believes it was “self defense.”
Later, Steel made things emotional. He stated he hoped he was not making things “personal,” but asked if people feel grief when losing someone close to them.
Detective said solemnly, “yes.”
Prosecutors and the FBI agent read text this morning from David Saulsberry (Doodie Lo) and Lil Durk from 2020 after the shooting death of King Von.
Saulsberry: “Keep yo head up. I know your pain. I’m with u, drilling about this sh*t.”
Banks: “I love you back slap”
