Brian Steel's co-counsel, Keith Adams, steps up for cross-examination.

Keith Adams hones on the fact that the witness has no way of knowing what happened to her stolen car in the 6 days between when it was stolen and when it was found, and that she was never asked to identify anyone involved.

State does a brief redirect, and the witness is done.

State's Witness #3:

Captain Reginald Pettis

His name is found in Overt Act 1 of the indictment, as also being a victim of Slug's armed robbery.

The court asks the Media to not film the witness' face, but we still have audio.

In the plea deal hearing, Slug (Stephens) acknowledge that he committed the aggravated assault alleged in the indictment, in which he brandished a gun at Pettis, who was an undercover officer surveilling the vehicle that was stolen from Melissa Rosser (the second witness that just testified).

The gun Trontavious Stephens allegedly had during the incident was shown to Pettis and the jury after a quick inspection from Young Thug’s attorney Keith Adams.

Keith Adams (One of Young Thug's lawyer) cross-examined Pettis and during cross-examination, Young Thug's attorney Keith Adams questioned Capt. Pettis about the fact that he makes no mention of gang signs in the report relating to the incident.

The first two witnesses have testified about the same incident relating to Trontavious Stephens, who took a plea deal in Dec. 2022, where he acknowledge to being involved in overt act 1 and a co-founder of YSL.

Condition of deal includes: testifying if called.

We are done with Capt. Pettis. We are on a lunch break until 2pm.

Once we are back, we will probably listen from more witnesses from the state.

Keith Adams is killin it. They need to let him do all the questioning.

We are back in court with the state's #4 witness: Sgt. Jonathan Heeb. Similar to the last witness, Judge Glanville asked the media not to show his face.

Sgt. Jonathan Heeb is testifying about overt act 3, relating to the arrest of Shannon Stillwell in August 23, 2013 for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

We are done with Sgt. Heeb's testimony. He won't be called back to testify.

We are now hearing from Scott Jimenez, an APD officer, who was also involved in the 2013 arrest of Shannon Stillwell.

We are done with Lt. Jimenez. He will not be called back to testify.

We are moving on to over act 4, which involves Atlanta rapper Young Thug. Andrew Phillips is testifying and Judge Glanville has asked for his face not to be shown.

Phillips said he returned from vacation around July 10, 2013. When he came back, his door was ajar and he called police. He later noticed that some items were missing including two guns - a handgun and a shotgun, a laptop.

Phillips confirmed, without being able to see the serial number, said it does look like his stolen firearm. He said it's a very specific firearm because it is one that is issued to Navy Seals, although he wasn't in the Navy Seals and thought it would be cool to have.

Phillips said that the shotgun was not recovered to his knowledge.

Young Thug's attorney Keith Adams is cross-examining Phillips

Adams approached Phillips to talk about the gun but Phillips said he could not recall the gun's serial number off the top of his head but that the gun looked like it.

Phillips has been temporarily excused so he might be called back in the future.

One more witness for the day.

Young Thug's attorney Brian Steel has a motion about the state's next witness to ensure some things are not mentioned.

Atlanta police officer Michael Monheim is the last witness for the day and will testify regarding overt act 4 which involves Young Thug.

Monheim is testifying about a traffic stop of Young Thug in a black Dodge Challenger, after making an improper turn.

At the time of the stop, he didn't know who was driving the vehicle.

yea he's good. He knows how to talk to a jury and he speaks with confidence.

Much better than that white bald guy they got on their team.

Monheim pulled Thug and arrested him. He didn't have a license.

He would later find the stolen gun in the car Thug was driving.

Monheim testified that he has no information that Young Thug was involved in the burglary of the Phillips' home.
