The defense now flat out names little girls that lived in the neighborhood where Ahmaud was murdered and suggests that Ahmaud could’ve one day wondered into their homes and harmed them like he wondered into the construction site. The overt racism in this is astounding. — PolitiTweet.org

🤬🤬🤬Ahmaud’s mother, Wanda Cooper Jones, rushed out of the courtroom, saying “I’ve gotta get out of here” nearly tripping and falling, when the defense attorneys for the men who murdered her son, began literally talking about Ahmaud having “long dirty toenails.” — PolitiTweet.org

Shaun King @shaunking

🤬🤬🤬 Oh my God. The closing arguments of the defense team have moved into flat out racism and lies and fear mongering about Ahmaud. It’s so bad I can hardly keep listening. I mean it’s as bad and racist as anything I’ve ever heard in a courtroom — PolitiTweet.org

The defense attorneys for Travis McMichael are now arguing that AFTER he shot Ahmaud twice with a shotgun, that because Ahmaud THEN put his hands on McMichael that THAT was Ahmaud committing aggravated assault. He’s literally arguing that Ahmaud should’ve been shot quietly. — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: The defense attorneys for Travis McMichael are now making their closing arguments and are doing 2 smart, but nefarious things: 1. They are trying to blur the lines between law enforcement and the men who killed Ahmaud. 2. They are playing historic white fears of crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Shaun King @shaunking

UPDATE: Lawyers for Travis McMichael are trying to introduce unlawful evidence in their closing arguments that was not approved by the judge. The prosecution is objecting, but it shows that the defense is desperate and doesn’t feel good about the actual evidence from the trial. — PolitiTweet.org

As you can imagine, Ahmaud’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, is having a very tough time today. Ahmaud was born on Mother’s Day. He was her baby boy. Until we brought the pressure of the world down on the murderers, these men were proudly walking around town with no remorse. — PolitiTweet.org
