LIL DURK EOD UPDATE Taylor Parise⬇️ Christy O'Connor for the defense argued that the prosecution "put great weight" into a DJ Akademiks interview in which Lil Durk commented on "slide of Von" posts stopping after the death of Saviay'a Robinson. The defense called the prosecution's use of the clip "not fair," arguing the video was a "tailored statement,” filing a motion for an additional clip to be admitted to provide context to the prosecution’s clip. The defense's motion has been denied and additional footage will not be admitted. "The frustration here is that you didn't get to comment on it," the judge told the defense.
