100
CENTRE ST,
Jan 15 – A man is on trial for
second degree murder before
Justice Ann Scherzer in 100
Centre Street. On January 15 a
police officer who specializes
in criminal intelligence,
including monitoring the
social media account of drill
rappers, was on the stand.
Inner City Press was there.
The
officer said he gains insight
through following music
accounts; he named one that
has gone offline (or changed
its handle) since the
incident. Gangs prefer to
solve their problems with
violence? He was asked, and
quipped: Or make a new song.
He was
shown video of youths running
near 148th Street and St.
Nicholas Avenue and the
prosecutor asked, Do you
recognize-
"Beyond the
scope!" one of the defendant's
two lawyers objected. Judge
Scherzer overruled. The trial
continues.
