“...TM was found dead back toward GZ truck and over 70 yards from where he was suppose to be staying with his dad. Clearly TM ran back to confront GZ with a punch to the face.”
Yes...one of the most compelling bits of info...I’m hoping and praying that the jury “gets” the significance.
Trust the defense to point it out in closing.
M’OM should bring it up during closing and tie it all together.
The prosecution is not proving second degree murder with facts, just throwing anything at the wall in hopes a jury will cherry pick one of those things on which to hang a guilty verdict. I’m not too optimistic about the verdict.
