In this clip, Shannon Stillwell’s lawyer Max Schardt and Deputy District Attorney Simone Hylton argue about the admissibility of statements Kenneth “Woody” Copeland told police in 2015 about Demise “Nard” McMullen and Young Thug’s sister Dolly both saying “eff Donovan Thomas” or something to that effect.
03:00 Hylton argues, calls it “co-conspirator hearsay,” including statements from Damekion Garlington, who is charged with Thomas’ murder but is not currently on trial.
13:30 Hylton says Dolly’s statement “this person better not play with my brother” about show a conspiracy and were made in furtherance of the Young Slime Life gang. “That is showing cohesiveness…”
14:05 Judge Ural Glanville rules the statements are admissible. “I’ll let the jury consider that for what weight they want to give it.”
