From Wafb:
Attorneys made opening statements in the murder trial of Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torence Hatch, Saturday. The first witness is on the stand.Prosecutors called Ben Hawkins to the stand. Victim Terry Boyd was killed at his house.The day started with opening statements from both sides. The prosecution addressed the jury first."'Marlo Mike' is the key to whole situation," prosecutor Dana Cummings told the jury. "He was the hitman."She told jurors they will hear phone conversations where Hatch is freaking out because he doesn't know what 'Marlo Mike,' whose real name is Michael Louding, told police.Cummings told the jury several people have told Louding to lie on the stand. She added she expects him to do that.She also mentioned Louding has a tatoo on his stomach of an AK-47 with the statement, "Yo Boosie who's next?"Hatch's defense attorneys told jurors they will learn a lot of people had ill will toward the victim, Terry Boyd, but not their client. They said in fact, Hatch has a child with Boyd's sister. The defense added the jury will learn Hatch is stupid for allowing too many people to be around him because he didn't want people thinking celebrity changed him.The defense attorneys also said 'Marlo Mike,' whose real name is Michael Louding, was one of the people who came over, but Hatch didn't know him. They said the testimony will show Louding had his own reasons for killing and that the suspected killer says he heard voices telling him to hurt people.Hatch's defense team said what the jury will learn is a man named Mike Judson was there when Boyd was killed. They claimed Boyd robbed Judson of drugs and money in jail, setting up a motive for Boyd being killed. They said the district attorney's office was more interested in going after a high-profile rapper.Proceedings were scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. in Judge Mike Erwin's courtroom.However, court was delayed to give the jurors a chance to finish eating.The courtroom was packed for the start of the trial.One of Hatch's attorneys addressed the group of supporters, friends and family in the courtroom and advised them not to talk to Hatch or cheer because the jury would be grading him based on his friends as well.
I'm skeptical,they probaly got a bunch of black feminist....let's all pray for at least 1 ratchett bytch
...I've always believed a couple nikkas on the jury would be an accquital...but a "predominatly black" jury? I can't believe they'd shoot theyself in the foot and make this easy...I'm suspicious of the black jury,I question they blackness
at marlo mike having a tat of an ak47 and "yo boosie who's next?" under it. 
. Badazz is about to be in for a battle for his life
we're fukked
we out chea...after reading that article it sounds like what I predicted happened from the jump is what happened....marlo told them he wuz at boosies house the night of the murder and didn't do it...cops wanted boosies head and bought marlo mike back in and accused him of random sh1t and lied to him saying he would be convicted and go to jail for life unless they gave him boosie...young nikkas don't snitch on anybody they don't feel like they have to give up to go free...boosie name wuz obviously bought up as a bargaining chip by detectives...whether thru leading questions or not...the fact there's a gap in the audio recording tells u all u need to know,having the whole convo would tell us the whole story...this is what happpens when nikkas think we can outsmart the cops and not ask for a lawyer...doesn't matter if u THINK u have nuthin to hide..ask for your fukin lawyer black men! Any black person on the jury will see thru the bullsh1t
