Thank you MrBigPlayBray for sharing this article!
Fundraiser for Kyren's family: gofund.me/61b56b6d9
Lacey killed himself the day before his grand jury hearing.
He was accused of recklessly causing a fatal collision, by causing another vehicle to swerve and impact the victim's vehicle, and then fleeing the scene.
(To me, the video doesn't show that...)
The police report contained factual errors.
An officer turned off their bodycam before getting a statement from a key witness.
The DA's office crash reconstruction expert says Lacy was 92.3 yards BEHIND the vehicles at the time of collision.
And the driver of Vehicle 2, which collided with the victim's vehicle? 5 seconds before the crash, the vehicle involved in the collision was driving 49.6 mph. .5 seconds before the collision, EBS was activated. This driver was issued a ticket for following too close.
Driver 2 was following behind a gold truck that was moving at a speed under 29mph and braked 2.8 seconds ahead of the collision. The driver of the gold truck told police he wasn't driving quickly, but that the driver behind him was driving fast.
The written statement attributed to the driver of the gold truck (which isn't signed, but rather REFUSED), contradicts what is stated by the driver of the gold truck on bodycam video.
Respect for this attorney and rest in peace to Kyren.

The Appellate Division, Second Department (We're in New York State today!) has overturned the conviction of Idrissa Reaves, who was found guilty in 2019 for his role in a Brooklyn shooting. The appeals court found that the trial court wrongly let a detective (who was never qualified as an expert) testify about the meaning of rap lyrics. The appeals court ruled that this “expert” testimony was improper, that it directly mirrored the prosecution’s theory, and that Reaves did not get a fair trial. The conviction is reversed and Reaves will get a new trial.
*sigh* Let's read the decision and get the details.
Case: People v. Reaves, N.Y. App. Div., 2d Dep’t, No. 2019-07983 (Sept. 24, 2025).
Full Decision PDF: drive.google.com/file/d/1LVSEPXANKx95bpxwNAeGCbMdg-xBi_WT/view?usp=sharing
Key issue: Can courts rely on unqualified “experts” to interpret rap lyrics as proof of guilt?

5:50:00 Ayla King - damage to Georgia Public Safety Building is under jurisdiction of Attorney General? July 2020, long before the construction was announced. How can this be a RICO conspiracy?

The AG doesn't have concurrent jurisdiction, and ancillary isn't allowed by statute.

Stop Cop City RICO case summary:
The Stop Cop City RICO case involves protests against a proposed police training facility in Atlanta's South River Forest. Protesters argue it would harm the environment and increase police militarization. In 2023, 61 activists were charged under Georgia's RICO law, typically used for organized crime. Prosecutors allege the group engaged in a conspiracy involving acts such as vandalism and arson to halt construction.
The first mistrial occurred in the case of defendant Ayla King, who was charged solely for attending a music festival linked to the protests. Jury selection began in 2023, but delays extended for 18 months. In 2024, an appellate court ruled there was no violation of speedy trial rights and ordered the trial to proceed by July 7, 2025. On that date, the judge declared a mistrial due to jury issues, including challenges in securing impartial jurors.
The defense appealed to prevent a retrial, arguing it would violate double jeopardy protections and speedy trial rights. As of September 2025, the appeal remains pending, and King's case is unresolved.
We're going to take on some of the motions hearings.

Bryan Hooper is finally free after nearly 27 years behind bars for a murder he always said he didn’t commit.
In 1998, Hooper was sentenced to life in prison for the killing of 77-year-old Ann Prazniak in her Minneapolis apartment. The key witness at trial, Chalaka Lewis, recently recanted her testimony and confessed to the murder herself. DNA evidence had already tied her to the crime scene, while none linked Hooper.
With support from the Great North Innocence Project and the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, a judge overturned Hooper’s conviction, calling it “tainted by false evidence.”

44:52 – State rests.
45:15 – Defense calls Kimberly Cambron (Christopher’s sister).
Melissa said she gave up custody because she didn’t want her children near her parents (called them “not good people”).
Melissa and Chris lived at grandmother’s house.
49:45 – Cross Examination (Cambron).
Letter read aloud, purportedly from Melissa to Norma:
July 27th due date mentioned, reference to baby shower, dislike of Cathy & Virginia, said Kimberly “sticks up for me.”
Witness said it didn’t sound like Melissa; signed “By for now, Melissa.”
Melissa and Chris moved to Brookline (grandmother’s house).
Cambron didn’t recall Melissa talking about issues with Chris or neighbor up the street.
Records admitted:
Exhibit 81 – July 23, 1998 – Dissolution of temporary guardianship for Chrissy.
Exhibit 81 – July 23, 1998 – Dissolution of temporary guardianship for Joey.
July 29, 1999 – Melissa petitioned for permanent guardianship to be given to Cathy.
Cambron couldn’t recall when she last saw Melissa; maybe Thanksgiving.
Not especially concerned when Melissa went missing—said they weren’t close, she was a teenager then.
1:20:00 – Redirect.
Letter mentioned pregnancy with Joey, tubes tied, April appointment—timeframe 1996.
Melissa petitioned to dissolve custody; court did not dissolve.
Exhibit 11 – Letter from Melissa to Cathy, June 20, 1996, about temporary custody.
1:30:47 – Cathy Wolfenbarger (Chris’s mother) testifies.
Temporary custody reason: Melissa didn’t want kids at her parents’ house.

17:00 – Court starts. Discussion about juror appearing ill the previous day (Samuel and Hylton both noticed).
28:00 – ADA Michael Sprinkel reviewed enhanced audio.
37:17 – Objection over audio record. Audio not audible in court but was at other times. Hylton confirmed she listened before. Content references: Waffle House, Florida, making money, Melissa dyeing hair short.
1:25:00 – Rosa James (DV expert, former Fulton County DA staff). Voir dire cross reserved.
2:04:10 – Direct: Expert said giving up custody could be a form of control.
2:05:40 – Cross: Not a doctor, not licensed in GA (only FL). Worked at Fulton DA July 2019–Jan 2023. Testified 47 times for state, once for defense. Testimony based on opinion/experience, reviewed hypotheticals with Hylton. Cause of abuse = “a choice.” Admitted dynamics vary; not one-size-fits-all. Samuel pressed on hypotheticals (serial killer parent, pets, weapons, jobs, friends, gender roles, etc.). Expert often said no knowledge.
2:31:10 – Redirect.
2:35:00 – Limiting instruction debate. Court ruled prior incidents were “intrinsic” and admissible. No limiting instruction allowed on prior difficulties. One limiting instruction applied to expert testimony.
Cause of death – Undetermined. Dismemberment post-mortem. Could not say if body was refrigerated.
4:14:20 – DNA identification discussion. Jury excused. Norma Patton’s swab matched extremities (1999). Dispute over testing timing/results. No DNA witness in evidence yet; state skirting gaps.
4:35:45 – Cross (Dr. Carol Terry, ME). Dental ID used (1970s dental x-ray, dated 1991). First saw remains Feb 2000 (already skeletal). Photos showed badly decomposed skull. No flies present—suggested recently exposed. Asked if condition possible within 30 days: parts in black plastic bags, exposed to sun. Terry volunteered: “we don’t even know where the bags were.”
4:42:40 – Redirect. Could not estimate time of death.
4:46:45 – Housekeeping/Jury Charges.
131 withdrawn (witness attack).
No transactional evidence/404B, but prior difficulties evidence stays.
State objected to 131(e).
Don Samuel argued immunity once granted is for life; relevant because immunity could cover murder. Judge offers a different analysis.
Judge raises issue with State charging felony murder without charging aggravated assault, and not specifying the underlying dangerous conduct to support the felony murer.

While on verdict watch, we'll check out GA v. Christopher Wolfenbarger. Wolfenbarger is accused of murdering his 21-year-old wife, Melissa Wolfenbarger, in 1998. Melissa was the daughter of a convicted serial killer, but he was in custody at the time of death. Melissa's remains were misidentified and weren’t positively identified until 2003. Wolfenbarger is currently being held in the Fulton County Rice Street Jail. Symone Hylton from the YSL trial is prosecuting this case.
