And we're back: #6ix9ine trial continues with #NYPD "Criminalist 3" on the stand @SDNYLIVE. Earlier today, Kristian Cruz disputed it was his Instagram account communicating with Nuke Mack. patreon.com/posts/30134494 Thread

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA The NYPD lab tech is testifying about scales and grinders and confirming the presence of #fentanyl (yesterday we posted the photos of DHL envelope from Shenzhen, China to Kristian Cruz, the sometimes "IGotRich_" on Instagram)

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Judge Engelmayer getting more and more frustrated. Tells NYPD tech, You're not here to read this document, just to say if it jogs you memory. Then to the lawyers: we're going off the rails here. It's not worth anyone times to explore this through this witness

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Next witness: US Attorney's Office investigator Reginald Donaldson, who analyzed phone records in connection with alleged July 22, 2018 kidnapping of $6ix9ine. He slips in a plug: AT&T has more cell sites in NYC than T-Mobile. Much foundation being laid

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA The promotion continues: Asked by AUSA about T-Mobile and AT&T, Donaldson says that AT&T is the only provider which keeps records of every cell site a phone connects to during a call.

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Now we're getting somewhere: Donaldson says that Harv Ellison's phone moved from Perth Amboy, NJ to Brooklyn then before 10:09 pm and 4:58 am made 27 calls, 1 text message and 92 "data transmissions." This could take a while...

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Relationship reduced to cell phone movements: Donaldson is comparing Harv Ellison's and Jasmine Ramirez' cell sites on Oct 24-25, 2018, including lower Manhattan, The #Bronx, and Smurf Village in #BedStuy

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Cross-examination: Cannick asks Donaldson, Since Harv Ellison lived at 1760 Fulton Avenue, wouldn't it be expected that his phone be there a lot?
Sure, Donaldson nods.
Cannick asks if Donaldson was asked to focus on Kings County Hospital on October 25, 2018. No

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Cross-examination: Fasulo asks Donaldson how long each provider keeps phone records. He answers:
Verizon 1 year
Sprint 18 months
T-Mobile 2 years
AT&T - everything since 2008

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA And with that, the government rests - it's case is over.
Both defendants' lawyers ask to dismiss all charges.
Judge Engelmayer says he'll think about it over lunch, until 2:15.
Defense says neither Mack or Ellison will testify. Each confirms he knowingly decided.

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Cannick says he will be putting into evidence a video this afternoon, the defense's case. And something more - an immunity order from the Justice Department, along with an order to compel testimony. Drum roll...

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Fasulo is pushing to dismiss Count 7 against Nuke Mack, use of a firearm as part of narcotics conspiracy. Judge Engelmayer asks AUSA Longyear to proffer what he has. Says Mack seen twice with a gun

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA A witness before the Grand Jury in this #6ix9ine case just invoked his 5th Amendment rights to not incriminate himself. But US Attorney Berman is granting limited immunity. So he has to testify this afternoon. Thread to resume at 2:15 pm

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Reversal - now the witness who was subpoenaed and given immunity will NOT be called to the stand by the defense. So it'll be short this afternoon. Judge Engelmayer already planning tomorrow's closing arguments, jury will order lunch in

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA For Nuke Mack, defense lawyer Fasulo rests - puts on no case. For Harv Ellison, defense lawyer Calvin Scholar reads in a stipulation that on the date of the alleged car jacking, July 21, 2018, Ellison was borrowing a rnted Nissan that got its front bender damaged

@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Now Judge Engelmayer telling jury they can leave for the day, tomorrow they'll hear closing arguments. He said he'll let them bring coffee into the jury box. Here's story until 1 pm innercitypress.com/sdny21tekashi6… Judge Engelmayer let's jury go...
