Judge Buras says the state filed a motion last night. Made some statements to police about self-defense. Prosecutor would like to exclude.

Danny Monteverde ?@DCMonteverde
Motion granted.

State argues to exclude a statement from Cardell Hayes to police, claiming self-defense, in trial over Will Smith killing. Judge grants.

The reason why I am surprised about state not using Hayes' statement is that when I viewed it, I thought his body language was terrible.

Though a witness and victim, Will Smith's wife can be in court for all trial proceedings, Judge Camille Buras reiterates.

That's strange, why would a statement that the defendant made be able to be excluded? Do they just get to pick and choose what they want to exclude from a person's statement?

Prosecutor Napoli continues: as Smith gradually hit the brakes, ahead of 2nd collision, Cardell Hayes didn't.

Danny Monteverde ?@DCMonteverde 3m3 minutes ago
Napoli: "It doesn't get more aggressive than that, intentionally ramming your vehicle into another vehicle"

Napoli: Smith left his vehicle unarmed. "Cardell Hayes got out of his car with a fully loaded 45-caliber handgun in his hand."
