Yella Beezy Trial Detective Says Mo3's Song 219 Referenced Conway's Tollway Shooting | Pt 30

Mo3 put the feud in a song. Now the lead detective is telling Yella Beezy's jury what he heard in it, and the defense is fighting every word. This is the Yella Beezy trial in Dallas. Markies Conway, the rapper known as Yella Beezy, is on trial in the November 2020 murder-for-hire killing of Melvin Noble, the rapper Mo3, shot on a Dallas highway. Kewon White was charged as the shooter and has already been convicted. Detective Eric Barnes, the State's lead investigator, is back on the stand for a second day, walking the jury through the State's timeline of the feud from 2017 to the day Mo3 died. Watch the defense object again and again that Barnes is no expert and was not there for most of it. The judge keeps letting him answer. Ask yourself whether a detective's reading of a rap song is evidence, or opinion with a badge on it. That question runs through this whole Part. --- WATCH WITH JUSTICE 0:00:00 What this video is, and a preview 0:00:14 Intro 0:00:51 to 0:05:59 - Video starts: Barnes is back on the stand, and the State puts the case's phone numbers on one page. 0:05:59 to 0:09:05 - The defense says he is no expert.
