My friend was charged with murder because he wore a red hoodie the same as the killer, it’s crazy because we heard the shots and went about our business. We were in the park watching a basketball game when police swarmed us from every angle guns drawn and screaming orders, made us come from the bleachers, laid us on the ground cuffed us, threw us in the back of separate cars with what felt like for hours. Mind you know one is explaining to us what is really going on, I didn’t find out what was happening until I was at the station talking to the detectives who inform me that my friend was being charged with murder. I tried to explain that in their timeline it was impossible because we were together but the detectives didn’t want to believe me, his mother had to spend money on a lawyer and eventually the lawyer got statements for the neighborhood places we were at during their timeline and their investigation fell apart. Who knows what would’ve happened to my friend if I wasn’t there, it could’ve turned out way different. Believe it or not people the innocent is behind bars right now and innocent until proven guilty don’t exist for a lot of people, only guilty until proven innocent. Hopefully Trey Holly truth is told and he’s cleared before it’s to late.

When you hang out with thugs you can have bad things happen to you. Bad friends can take you down.

He has a point, man, and it has nothing to do with being "how old you are". SMH-LOL That's just stupid of you to say!

This happens more than you know. Innocent till proven guilty used to be the case. But he possibly has some friends from the hood that can get you involved in situations you normally wouldn’t be in. Hope that’s the case and he just needs to make better life decisions.

That's why you separate from your childhood friends when you start off your life going to college and all as a big time student/athlete and all. Because, if you continue to be boys with them and all of this crap, stuff like this happens to you by you associating yourself with them. I know you don't wanna seem "fake" to your friends like they are quick to call you when you stop hanging with them. But man screw them because they will bring you down. SMH

"Innocent till proven guilty used to be the case." I freaking hate this saying. I get what the phrase is supposed to get across but it makes it seem as though the jury or judge has some magic gavel that turns you from an innocent person into a guilty person. You are guilty if you did it. You are innocent if you did not. There is no decision or judgement made by other people that changes a person from innocent to guilty or confirms their innocence. It also implies that there is nobody "guilty" of a crime if no one has been proven guilty in a court of law. Nobody is guilty of killing OJ's wife and that Goldman guy i guess. Gotta find a better phrase than this illogical cliche.

This young man is innocent until proven guilty. I know many of these guys grow up in tough environments, but they must do whatever they can to stay away from these situations.

Yes he will have to be convicted by competent evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. Also be mindful the police arrest on probable cause which must still be based on evidence they gathered from the crime scene. I hope the statement he gave in his Twitter post doesn’t box him into circumstantial evidence that comes into play against him at trial.

Nah our great fans of LSU already know he’s guilty by the media statement. The tweets and such. Obviously perfect people who have never done anything wrong. Perfect people who’ve never stepped foot outside of their computer screen. If the paper says you’ve been arrested for something, you’re definitely guilty! Freakn idiots! Y’all wonder why our country has this two faced system of justice it does now? It’s partially because of this exact thing here. Just go google search your name and see how many people with the same name exist out there. Not saying this is a case of mistaken identity but shite happens. I had papers show up at my house saying I owe child support for some kid in Oklahoma. The details of this person with the same name as me but had the wrong eye color, wrong height, wrong weight, wrong SS#, wrong state lived in for decades and I could go on and on. I still had to go prove with my DNA that I was the wrong person. You people have no idea what could happen to you without your knowledge. Y’all live in a very small world. Obviously most of yall haven’t lived a bit of life.

Well that is encouraging news. Let’s hope it is as easy as telling the police who the actual criminals are.

Again, like I said at first, I would have never pegged him as a person to do this, and that makes more sense than attempted 2nd degree murder.

If he was falsely accused hopefully he’ll be cleared of all charges soon.

I pray this is true. He has so much damn potential it'd be such a waste.

Not similar at all actually.

Time will tell, but something tells me he's not as innocent as he claims. It's not every day someone gets charged with attempted second degree murder in their own house. I hope he's innocent, but it doesn't look good!

I pray this is 100% true. If it is, that DA needs confirm his alibi and drop this now.
user avatar
tucoco28 months
I hope he is 100% innocent too, it's just a bad situation all the way around. The fact that the woman that was in critical condition died is really bad because now it's murder. SMH

Not if he wasn’t involved. But being as it happened at his home, I’m sure all it took was one person that didn’t like him to implicate him. Plus, anybody who was involved will likely lie about who was involved in order to get a better plea deal/lesser charge. Plea deal are BS since you’re believing a CRIMINAL to indict someone.

That's why people should not jump the conclusions. You are innocent till proven guilty. Looks like TH will be back for the Tigers. Full support.

Jump *to conclusions. Not “The conclusions.” Btw him saying he’s innocent doesn’t mean he will be back for anyone. Now that being said he is innocent until proven guilty and we simply need to wait either way before making a decision

Well, ok. That sets the stage for the investigation. Hope this gets sorted out soon and that the persons who were shot have full recovery.

Amazing how quick a lot of people threw him under the bus. Would not surprise me at all if he is found innocent. I hope he has a good lawyer tho. Burden of proof is on the prosecution I believe

A similar situation cost Lael Collins millions of dollars. Hope the kid is smarter than being in a position to be involved in this.

This is tough. Reading between the lines there is something wrong here. You don't generally get picked up for murder when you were chilling at home, especially someone like this known to everyone in town.

He needs to be quiet now too -even that X post can waive the fifth, you don't get to plead your case in the court of public opinion but not later in a court of law.

"when you were chilling at home" I don't know what happened obviously but if you notice, the incident happened at that house also. So yes, it is possible to have something happen very close and you not be involved.
