"And Jeffery never asked you to do those driveby shootings, did he?"
QZ: "He didn't even know about them"

Steel is juxtaposing the timeline of the Woody and Kel/Nut situation with Thug's career, showing that Thug was blowing up insanely fast, always on tour, signing sponsorships, etc.
2016, the first time QZ got locked up, was the last time QZ ever had ANY contact with Thug.

QZ testifies that Woody was the last person he saw with the infiniti the night of the Nut murder.
He also testifies that Thug "cut ties" with Woody due to all the drama that Woody brought and all the problems surrounding him.

Over state objection, Steel was able to play a section of "The Mobb" by Lil Wayne off his album "Tha Carter II"
The state used a caption that uses lyrics from this song against the people on trial, not realizing it was lyrics from a Wayne song.

Steel finished his cross by eliciting testimony that QZ has never heard Thug ask anyone to commit a crime ever.
No other defense attorney had questions. Love back up for re-direct.

Ms. Love asks if QZ ever told anyone that if he testified, he would get killed because "they were gang members".
QZ says no, but there's no defense objections, so I guess Ms. Love might have a good reason to ask that?

To counter Schardt's points about QZ's story constantly changing, Love brings up parts of the interview where the detectives sometimes get "facts wrong" from QZ's previous stories and QZ corrects them.
To counter the notion that QZ "would say anything to get out of jail", Love asks why QZ still didn't blame anything on Thug, even though he knew that the police wanted Thug?
QZ didn't have a real answer for this. Woody's answer for this was "it wouldn't be believable".

"You'd rather go to prison for 189 years than testify on any of your friends?"
Love about QZ turning down a plea deal to testify against Mounk Tounk. QZ says "yes, after i got older"

Love is pretty much doing a whole new direct. After defense objection, the Judge instructs Love to narrow her questions to cross-examination topics.
She said she only needed 30 more minutes before lunch, let’s see!

QZ excused after pretty inconsequential redirect and recross.
On the stand now is a phone records guy for t-mobile/sprint .
