John Fuller calls Michael Burnside to the stand. He is the man who claims from a mile away he heard two gunshots the night smith was killed.


quote:

Danny Monteverde? @DCMonteverde
Burnside asks if he can affirm his statements rather than swear to them.

Burnside is discussing in vivid detail what happens to objects or living beings when they are hit by different calibers of bullets.


quote:

Danny Monteverde @DCMonteverde
Fuller begins to question Burnside about the night Smith was killed. "You need to know upfront I don't operate in the world of April 9th."

Fuller asks Burnside why he reached out. "Because. Oh, Jesus Christ, this is going to be hard. I don’t know where to start."

The moment you realize you fricked up badly

quote:

Danny Monteverde? @DCMonteverde
After rambling for a few minutes, Burnside says he can't remember Fuller's question. "Neither can I," Fuller says.

Fuller thought this witness was going to prove something for a retrial? What the hell is this guy bringing to the table?

Burnside talking about how a .45-caliber bullet will throw a person back. Goes on a tangent about the history of the gun & its use in war.


quote:

Danny Monteverde @DCMonteverde
Napoli asks how many shootings Burnside heard the night of April 9. He says just one that night.

Napoli asks if Burnside if he's ever been arrested. Burnside says he has a prior arrest in L.A. when homeless.

Danny Monteverde @DCMonteverde
Napoli: "What else have you been arrested for?"

Burnside: "I'm 53. Who knows?"


ETA:

Burnside asks Napoli if he's ever been arrested.

Napoli says he never has.

"Really?" Burnside replies. "You should try it sometime."

"It's my job to tell you I heard two guns," Burnside says. He adds it's not his job to investigate a crime scene.

Prosecution rests. Fuller says he has nothing else.

Danny Monteverde? @DCMonteverde
Burnside asks if he can ask Judge Buras a question. She says he cannot, and he slowly walks out of the courtroom.

Fuller: Mr. Burnside escaped the attention of both the prosecution and defense.


quote:

Danny Monteverde @DCMonteverde
Fuller: "Obliviously the state has the right to...make light of Mr. Burnside's testimony." Doesn't take away from his honesty, Fuller says.


quote:

Danny Monteverde @DCMonteverde
Fuller: this witness was not known to us before the trial, didn't become known to us until it was too late.


quote:

Danny Monteverde? @DCMonteverde
Fuller: Since day one, this case has been about self-defense. If someone says he heard two guns, needs to be considered.


quote:

Paul Murphy? @PMurphyWWL
Fuller says Burnside's testimony bolsters Cardell Hayes’ claim he was responding to the sound of a gunshot when he shot and killed Smith.

Fuller says the state did not prove Cardell Hayes didn't act in self defense.

jury said otherwise

Fuller: You had Saints football players and Saints coaches, in some cases staring at the jury.

Fuller making the point that the jury was pressured to reach a verdict.

Fuller is just a mastermind who operates on a much higher intellectual level than we do obviously
