Defense attorney Brian Brown, who represents Michael Jackson-Bolanos, gave his closing argument in the Samantha Woll murder trial. Caution: There are some graphic images in the video.
The prosecution did not prove he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, the prosecution is only interested in getting a conviction, not getting the person who commit the crime. Not guilty.
So you really believe a guy admittedly committing crime at night, stumbles upon a dying or dead woman… touches her… and then just leaves her? This is believable to you?
Attorney Brian may have used incorrect grammar, but he definitely did his job with identifying reasonable doubt. The burden of proof falls on the prosecution and yet attorney Brian identified the areas where the prosecution dropped the ball in their investigation which could in turn help them build a subsequent case on the actual killer. I read a lot of comments that were condemning attorney Brian, his techniques, line of questioning and even comments saying people of color…specifically blacks, make terrible lawyers, but attorney Brian did an exceptional job.
He is not innocent by any means. He openly admits to being out robbing people even when they ask for their items. This is a repeat offender and will never change his ways. His motive is strong... if she called the cops by witnessing him stealing from cars or witnessed him entering her home he knew he would go for 20+ for his next felony. I believe he would do anything to remove any possible witness that would put him back in prison.
@@michelero4297umm no 😂.. Just because he was going into cars does not make him the killer I hate to tell you but this is Detroit we're talking about, he was not the only criminal out there committing crimes, and it's sad because people like you aren't interested in justice for Samantha
He is innocent of the crime he is on trial for. You are not looking at this from a legal standpoint. You are just spouting your opinion, which is not relevant in court. Only facts beyond a reasonable doubt are relevant. Educate yourself on what is required by prosecution for a conviction. It surely isn’t opinions like you are full of.
Masterful the way the defense atty laid out *ALL* doubts, facts, truths & lies by the *timeline* very important, for jury clarity & understanding. (not jumping around like the prosecution to intentionally confuse the jury)
I've only been listening for 1:24. So, that's not enough information to make such a conclusion. With that said...... Do you HONESTLY BELIEVE that????? What's so GREAT about this attorneys closing argument? Did he make a convincing argument as to HOW this mans WEAPON was reported MISSING? Only to coincidentally END up at the scene of a MURDER???! Make it make sense! I'll wait!!!😂😂😂😂😂
The black guy had blood on his hand and back pack,you really believe when he says I checked her neck,he said he didn't have a knife but yea stated after he had a seat belt cutter,what a load of crap,lies after lies in interrogation and changed it all in court because he knew it be proved all these lies .
This is PROOF to change your ways! The hate is clear! convict a man😢for a murder he did not commit. The real killer is the one that confessed to the crime. Michael I believe has learned his LESSON from this. Atty Brian Brown💯
This is because attorney opening/closing arguments are NOT considered testimony. The jury is even instructed to not take anything said by either side as evidence but consider it a personal observation of what they think about the evidence. Half the jury is prob sleep too because these statements just don't matter. Only the evidence presented during trial matters.
I feel like the investigation wasn’t thorough enough ..the prosecution gave a convincing closing argument but I’m still not certain that I would believe Michael killed her I still believe the ex did it
According to the neighbor's testimony who walked his dog gives a time of k*lling around 1:20am which would make sense if defendant was supposedly in the area but prosecution puts defendant there around 3:40a-4:20a
This is my first time watching this case. I believe if everything this defense attorney closing argument is true. The jury should find this man not guilty. That’s what I believe right now.
I know they're deadlocked by the time I'm watching this. But if they come back guilty that'll be nuts. Extremely strong reasonable doubt in this closing argument. And I honestly don't think he did it.
Prosecutors definitely failed to present guilty arguments finding guilty innocent man roaming around at night that could be usual thing of nature of some people.
Not guilty! There's no way he commented such a bloody crime w/the evidence they have. The downtown videos help this young man to prove his innocence. Not guilty.
Have you watched the entire trial? He had her blood on his clothes, his backpack....it really just takes a little common sense. I really cannot see this habitual criminal all of a sudden become the good, caring citizen that is just so concerned about the body of a random person, that he had to run up to get her blood all over him, only to them run away
@@Indiartworkshave you watched the entire trial? Her home had splattered blood all over the walls, floors, couch and stairs all the way down to the last step. How did he only have two microscopic blood spots on just his jacket and a small spot on his backpack? There was none on his pants or shoes. None was found inside his pocket where he would’ve had to put the knife in while leaving the scene. Did you even watch the ex’s testimony? That man was full of complete guilt and he knows he did it. Pay attention
@@Indiartworks that's the problem, her blood wasn't all on him.. It was just microscopic blood specs found on a jacket and a backpack, had he had blood all on him in the video of him walking after this happened then I would definitely believe that he was guilty, but he didn't have any blood showing in him, it's impossible for that scene to be that bloody and for the person who did it not to have any blood on them 5 minutes after it happened.. I thought we were using our common sense here, where's yours??
I just started to watch this case I believe he’s done what he said but I don’t believe he killed no lady. They’ve always said look at the husband or boyfriend. He’s innocent.
It amazes me that people listen to opening/closing arguments and base their ideas of guild or innocence on those statements. These statements are NOT considered testimony because the jury should take these statements as just that, the paid statement of a career lawyer paid to say anything to try to get their person off. We should base the idea of guilt or not based on the evidence only. People please go back and listen to the testimony and evidence.
Fantastic lawyer. He's finding the innocent poor car door hunter guy simply innocent of murder , that someone else committed, if not the boyfriend of Samantha Wolf.
After hearing the evidence I just can't listen to more of this man's theory of what happened. When he started bashing the victim again for her living her life how she wanted to... too much for me.
What if the ex boyfriend & the defendant both had something to do with it 🤷🏾♂️ the police really dropped the ball from the time they got the call for this case 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@ESBEAUTII that's some of you y'all problem too worried about how someone is talking instead of what's being said, wouldn't be surprised if this is why it's a hung jury and not an outright Acquittal because there's definitely not enough evidence in this case for a conviction
Dude is definitely guilty… for one he’s already admitted to committing crimes while he “found” this dead woman that he decided to touch and get her blood on him… and all these slow idiots in the comments talking about “he’s innocent”
no pun intended... Totally bias case. Paul Mooney said it best in his comedy the exact same things... *l👀k it up* "wht serial killers and the judicial discrimination " Its hilarious but contains truths & it fits this case...
Michael the Israelite thief needs to Repent and keep the Commandments and SIN no more! Esau/Edom & AMALEK will always lie and claim themselves to be NOT GUILTY. All sinners will be Judged starting with the house of True Israel. It is not a racial thing it is a Bloodline thing and that is the Truth...
Good job attorney Brown was the photos in her phone investigated since her camera was open and by her having on a hoodie and jogging pants just coming from the wedding instead of pajamas or something was she expecting company. Or did somebody come home with her
She caught him in the house,saw his face,he killed her so she couldn't tell police meaning he was going to jail for another offence which was his last.
Cut it out, common sense tells you that it's more logical to believe that someone she knows went into her house as opposed to a complete stranger walking into an unknown home at 4am not knowing who or what is waiting for him on the other side of that door, in Detroit no less.. You walk into someone home in Detroit that you don't know just because you the front door open you're basically just looking to get shot..
@jerryalexander8803 she never left her door open because someone was visiting ,haven't you been watching at all ?on police cam the guy said she leaves the door open,she forgets and it was said in court by others she does,I give up with you,your a waste of space.bye and please don't message me again.
@@mikeymike1854 have you not been watching?? The Prosecution said that the door was open, I mean that's their whole argument for how MJB did this.. So if the door wasn't open then MJB definitely didn't do this 😂, you're destroying your own argument 😂..
@jerryalexander8803 so you believe he saw a body on the ground and checked for a pulse and ohh that's how I got blood on my hand and back pack?? Really ??
@@mikeymike1854 it doesn’t matter WHY she left her door open, the fact is it is more reasonable to believe that someone she knows walked into her home and not just some random stranger who didn’t know what would be waiting for him on the other side of that door.. No one walks into houses just because the front door is open, especially in Detroit.. you’re just asking to be shot. This isn’t the movies or your favorite TV show kid
I haven't been able to watch the entire trial yet, could anyone who has seen it tell me if police were able to find out who the bloody footprint in the basement belongs to?
In my opinion, I think he’s going to be found guilty… 1: Michael said that when he touch the dead woman to see if she was dead, he said that her blood felt crusty… meaning dried. But if the blood was crusty/dry.. how did it get on his hands. He Had to explain away how he got blood on him.And he also said that he always…Always kept his knife in his car Always… but when he was taken to the police station the knife was in his jacket.His Attorney did a good job of trying to create reasonable doubt in this case, but I don’t think it’s was enough…And also why would he be google searching for passport… he was going to leave the country lol
@@jerryalexander8803 yes the knife was tested for blood trace… no blood was found… it’s the fact that he lied about it always being in the car. The knife was found in the same jacket pocket that he had on the night of the murder of Samantha Woll.This man had blood traces on two backpacks that were found in his closet of his home.The jury was definitely listening to his testimony
@@user-ur9vf1zm9g the responding police officer lied about the time he arrived at the scene, the ex boyfriend lied to police either when he said he did it or when he said he didn’t do it, but let me guess those lies don’t count though right? 😂
