#6ix9ine: When they started taking the money. Say I would get $250,000, they would give me like $185,000 and take the rest. I was going shows, appearances, endorsements.
Q: What was it that Shotti did with the money?
A: At first I didn't ask any questions. Shotti was like, feed the wolves, feed the homies, support them.
I had to go pay Frank White's wife two thousand dollars.
Defense objects that the photos weren't shown on the screen.
"That's me, Shotti and Nuke... the day I first met Nuke."
501j: Billy Ado, throwing up Nine Trey & holding a gun with a drum on it. (He adds again the definition: an attachment that holds more bullets.)
501o: Nuke & Harv.
501r: Me and Nuke in Nov-Dec.
501t: I'm on the bottom left, Harv is on the top left covering his face with the grey hoodie. Seqo Billy is crouched down on the right.
Gov't exhibit 24 is Trippie Redd, 24a his "name plate."
Q: Can you walk the jury through what happened?
A: Of course. Trippie Redd's manager said he wanted to squash the beef. At the time I was very upset with him, he has already said a lot.
We go to Red Hook or around there, industrial area. I'm in a Jeep. We see Trippie Redd's sprinter van
(for some reason, Harv's lawyer has not objected - maybe it'll come up on cross-examination.)
At this point in time did Harv assume a role with your entourage?
I used him as a body guard
Q: At this point, what was Mr. Ellison's, Harv's, role in the gang?
Judge Engelmayer: Basis? How does he know?
Q: were there other times Harv protected you?
A: Gummo just came out. I was in a T-Mobile store, some dude was waiting for me. Harv came-
Q: What he armed?
Near 18 Locust, I was walking to Chase Bank to make a deposit. I ran into another 9 Trey member...
I called Shotti, and put him on Facetime with Snow. Shotti tells him, Love him like I love him.
I had another phone at the time. I contact Harv...
AUSA Longyear (sounding frustrated) "Did they come a time you got away from Snow?
Yes, I get home...
A: A month after he was shot in the head.
AUSA: Here's a big stack of CDs
Q: What are you and Nuke doing?
A: Greeting each other. Doing the 9 Trey handshake.
Q: Is that the handshake you testified about yesterday?
[Inner City Press: actually, he shook hands with himself yesterday.]
A: He's stabbing the security guard.
Q: What's Harv holding?
A: Like a three inch wooden stick. I seen Harv get hit in the face with that stick. He took the stick and beat up the guy who hit him.
A: Yes. It was NBA All-Star weekend. At the airport there are these two girls exiting, Seqo and Billy Ado approached them flirting, lemme help you with your bags.
The boyfriends came...
Harv punches the guy in the face to initiate the fight. I don't know why I ran out there, I don't know why.
Q: did you participate in the fight?
#6ix9ine: Yeah but I didn't land any punches.
A: I wrote, Yo we gotta run down Casanova, he came out with a diss song that I took as disrespect.
Q: Seqo makes a reference to "my bag." What does my bag mean?
A: It means my money.
A: We big behind the wall. He meant that the Billies are big behind the prison wall.
Objection!
Overruled.
#6ix9ine: "Nine Trey, it's a worldwide thing."
Mel was like, "Where the money at?"
Shotti is like, I gotta take care of the homies. Homies gotta eat. We don't got no guns out here. We got to equip ourselves.
[Elsewhere in the #SDNY, also in prison blues, Joshua Schulte appeared, charged with stealing info from the CIA] Back to 9 Trey
#6ix9ine detailing split of Harv and Shotti, with Harv now on trial saying Shotti (who's pled guilty) is not as gangster as him
Things seem to have been going south fast...
Objection. But #6ix9ine continues.
Judge tell him, When lawyers object, I'm the 1 to answer, not u.
But he's already answered. Judge tells jury to disregard any guess
#6ix9ine: "He said, 'Respect this d*ck.... I'm laughing but I'm not playing."
Q: what happened after the shots were fired?
A: The shots hit the car.
Q: Turning to a robbery.
A: I was at 31 Kingston, my residence at the time. With Jorge Rivera, my driver
Q: why did you want to record?
A: To show that we robbed them. That they disrespected us--
Now video being shown: govt exhibit 600
Q: what happened to what you stole? The backpack?
A: It was put in 31 Kingston, my place of residence. It wasn't like a trophy or nothing.
"We went to a strip club, Scarlets. Harv pushed Nuke. Nuke started laughing: you wanna do this right here? He made the motion like he had the gun in his hoodie."
Jorge goes to get the car ready. Shotti meets Ro on Sterling. Actually, I don't know where
Sustained
Drama is mad that his car is all messed up. The window is shattered.
Going back: Nuke was drunk, not even trying to dodge the bullets. The gun jammed and they drove off.
Judge Engelmayer cuts in. The jury's lunch has arrived.
AUSA Longyear: I'm not going to get in the way of lunch. 1 hour break. Story soon and patreon.com/posts/30060128 Thread will resume
AUSA Longyear: Let me draw your attention to Gov Exhibit 501gg, messages from Instagram
Q: Do you have any understanding of what the phrase "You're not part of the fam" means?
A: You're not part of the game.
Q: What does that mean?
A: Nine Trey.
(By the way, he's still live - and Instagram has still not responded on TheShadeRoom) instagram.com/p/B2hlfmgBTMd/ instagram.com/cokeboymadmax/
Objection.
Judge Engelmayer: Substained as to speculation about ownership of the building.
A: We went back to Kingston. Then later that night I had a performance at the Barclays Center, the Main Event fight. Adrien Broner against some other guy, I don't remember his name
Testimony turns to "Billy" - Inner City Press covered Judge Engelmayer's ruling admitting into evidence some but not all of the video: innercitypress.com/sdny5tekashi6i…
Q: "Follow protocol Blood" - what does that mean?
A: You know, protocol. Follow the politics of it...
#6ix9ine says flatly, "No." Refers to "the craft, you know, the art."
A: Jorge [the driver.]
Q: And what's Fu Banga doing?
A: He's throwing up Nine Trey.
Q: What about the arm reaching in?
A: Can you zoom in for me? I'm bad with my eyes.
It's coming in as Exhibit 500a
AUSA Longyear: Did he use it?
A: No.
Longyear ireads 69's Instagram messages, telling Billy Ado that the day he walked into the strip club taking the side of Harv, it was over. They put me in a position & I chose Shotti
Now AUSA Longyear asking about jewelry. Driver Jorge wraps it in Bounty, puts it in daughter's Pampers bag
Objection!
Sustained.
Objection!
Judge Engelmayer: The jury will disregard the description of someone as Harv's friend.
Harv was there too, wearing a red hoodie. There was a scuffle. My driver wasn't making the situation any better-
Objection.
Judge: Sustained - no opinions about the driver. Just, what happened.
Harv goes in the car and takes my bookbag with my laptop. They tell me to get in the car that bumped me. Harv gets in the driver's seat.
Now video from Tahoe owned by Jorge Rivera - with subtitles into English. Carajo
"Chill! Chill!"
"I put money in your pocket bro."
"Where the f*ck is everything? Get in the car with us, N."
Then a "Call Onstar" message in Spanish.
"Esta llamada puede ser registrada."
AUSA Longyear: Stop it there. What was Harv wearing that evening?
A: A red hoodie.
Judge Engelmayer: Please focus on what actually happened.
Judge Engelmayer cuts in. You're daughter was not there that night. Just say what happened. "Mister Longyear, you may have to lead. This is..."
#6ix9ine: I see a phone flashing, like it was recording.
They picked me up from the floor--
Judge Engelmayer cuts in: "Let me see counsel at the sidebar."
#6ix9ine said, Stay with me til the morning
Nah, Harv said. What you got right now?
They drove to Kingston. "We came to an agreement if I gave them my jewelry they would let me go."
He asked mother of his daughter to bring jewelry down
I said no, if I get out you gonna shoot me in my back.
Harv: get the f*ck out of the car.
Right to Harv's car
I asked for medical assistance. I went to Kings County Hospital. Shotti got me discharged. He took me to somewhere in Long Island, a hospital. CAT scan. Concussion medication.
Now AUSA Longyear is passing the (disabled) gun to the jurors.
