BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -

The defense rested its case in the murder trial of Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie Thursday without calling any witnesses. Closing arguments in the case are set to get underway Friday morning.

After six days of testimony, the prosecution rested its case at 2:44pm Thursday after calling 27 witnesses to the stand. The defense asked for a short break after the prosecution rested, then came back and announced they, too, would rest their case.

Jason Williams represents Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torrance Hatch. Williams told jurors the defense was resting its case based on the fact that the burden of proof lies with the state and based on the testimony of the state's witnesses.

Boosie is accused of hiring Michael Louding to murder a man named Terry Boyd.

The last witness for the prosecution was Rochelle Wagner, Terry Boyd's sister, who is also the mother of Lil Boosie's child. She testified that she did not know anything about a murder. She said when it came to Terry Boyd and Lil Boosie, the two were not friendly but were not enemies either.

The prosecution asked if there was any reason Terry Boyd would want to "jack and slap" Boosie, and Wagner said there was no reason that she knew of.

Testimony with a man nicknamed "Donkey" finished Thursday morning. Carvis "Donkey" Webb is Boosie's first cousin. Prosecutors say Louding reached out to Webb for advice after his 2009 arrest.

Webb says he was in Atlanta at the time of the Terry Boyd murder, but Michael Louding reached out to him after he was arrested because he knows how the judicial system works. Webb was convicted of murder at age 16, but appealed the decision at the age of 20 and the charge was overturned.

The prosecution has played taped recordings they say indicate Webb encouraged Louding to tell attorneys that police beat and threatened him.

Prosecutors say Boosie also sent Louding a letter telling him to "listen to Donkey, Donkey knows the deal." Webb says that 'knowing the deal' only means he knows how things work in jail.

Carvis "Donkey" Webb also testified that many people in Baton Rouge had problems with Terry Boyd. He says he knows Boyd was shot 12 to 14 times at a nightclub after he robbed someone. He testified that Boosie and Boyd are not in the "same lanes". He said "Boosie is a rapper and Terry Boyd is a hardcore gangsta."

Webb also testified that a detective from Baton Rouge came to Atlanta and pulled him over because there were threats made on District Attorney Hillar Moore's life.

Moore also testified Thursday. Moore says on May 14, 2010 he was called to the Violent Crimes Unit. The district attorney says he and then Baton Rouge Police Chief Jeff Leduff went to the viewing area and listened to Louding being interviewed for about 10 to 15 minutes. Moore says he did not speak to Louding until after the interrogation was over.

Moore said Louding signed a cooperation agreement with the District Attorney's office on June 2, but there was never any discussion of how many years Louding would serve; just something less than life, which Moore agreed could be one day to 100 years. Moore says Louding cooperated after the contract was signed.

Part of that agreement says Louding must give complete and truthful testimony in each case he had knowledge of, but Moore decides what is truthful.

During testimony Thursday, the defense asked Moore, "so you decide what is truthful?" Moore replied "yes". "And this jury decides what the truth is?," a defense lawyer then asked Moore. "Yes," Moore replied. "Thank God for that," the defense lawyer replied.


Defense attorney Jason Williams asked Moore to tell jurors why the record button was not hit during Louding's police interrogation. Williams said if the District Attorney and police chief heard a 17-year-old admitting to six murders, certainly they should have wanted that recorded. Moore says that it is up to detectives to decide when they press the record button. "I wish they would have," Moore said.

just tryin to railroad a young nigga and the shit is comin to light.....i hope this turns into an internal investigation of the BRPD and Hillar Moore's office.....

So if he beats this murder case, how much time does he still have to serve?

i think like 5 or 6 cuz they gotta give him time served. but thats only saying if he dont fuck up again, catching all those dumb charges fucked him up

 
yeah, I don't know why he wanted to smuggle some weight in the jail when he had a shot to beat the murder charge and get out eventually

there isn't any difference, but to some idiots if you say you're not automatically against any black person going to jail you're a sellout
 
(AllHipHop News) Lyrics to a variety of Lil Boosie songs were played to the jury during the rapper’s first-degree murder trial.

Boosie is accused of hiring a 16-year-old named “Marlo” Michael Louding to shoot and kill a 35-year-old named Terry Boyd, in October of 2009.

On Wednesday (May 9), Constantino Dimitirelos, a forensic IT specialist, was called to the stand to give testimony to the evidence he was able to retrieve from computers seized from Lil Boosie’s residence.

The Prosecution

Two pictures were found on the hard drive. One of the pictures was taken at Lil Boosie’s residence on November 4, 2009 at 10:35 p.m.

It was of Michael “Marlo Mike” Louding getting a tattoo of an AK-47 and the words: “Yo Boosie Who’s Next.”

The other picture was of Adrian “Pokey” Pittman getting a similar tattoo.

The computer forensic expert also testified that he found several songs and lyrics created surrounding the date of Terry Boyd’s murder, October 20 and October 21, 2009.

Dimitirelos testified that the lyrics to Lil Boosie’s song “187” were recorded between 11:24 and 11:54 on the night of October 20th.

Jurors listened to explicit lyrics that included:

“five dead in six months.”

“Who ever tried to play me they dead now.”

“Yo Marlo, he drive a Monte Carlo, dat’ b**ch grey, I want him dead today, here go the cake.”

The same night the lyrics to “Bodybag” were recorded at 12:50 a.m.

On November 2, 2009 the song “Somebody in Trouble” was said to be recorded.

The jury also heard some of the lyrics which included:

“I’ll kill you with my money”

“I got some killers on my payroll, and they know when it’s time to handle business, ni**as lay low.”

The jurors also heard lyrics from the song “Lime Life” that was recorded on May 21, 2009 with fellow Louisiana rapper Hurricane Chris.

Those lyrics include:

“If you don’t squeeze ya trigga that reaper come and get ya’…”

“Ain’t no love in my body, Marlo Mike up in the backseat beggin’ for a body”

The Defense

Lil Boosie’s attorney, Jason Williams, said the prosecution was attempting to use Lil Boosie’s rap persona as a negative portrayal of his character.

The defense said the songs were irrelevant to Boyd’s homicide.

Williams explained that the lyrics were used previously by Lil Boosie in mixtapes that were already released prior to October 2009 and were being resampled.

Williams said “this is a man who was making music, spending time and energy to develop a persona to sell records. Same way NWA did, same way Public Enemy does. Same way Johnny Cash did.”

After the time frame of the lyrics were examined, Dimitirelos, gave an account of the cell phone usage of Louding during the night of October 21, 2009.

Dimitirelos said that he cannot determine who was on the phone or what was said, but based on the GPS tracker on most phones, he was able to tell the movements from the phone number Louding identified as his during that time.

The tracker showed that the phone belonging to Louding was in the vicinity of the murder scene as well as Torence Lil Boosie’s residence on October 21, 2009.

The forensic expert also testified that none of the calls made from Louding’s phone were routed to the numbers used by Lil Boosie.

The day took an interesting turn when the prosecution called their last witness of the day, Hatch’s cousin, Carvis “Donkey” Webb.

The jury had heard much about the man referred to only by “Donkey” in this case.

“Donkey” has served as the liaison for Lil Boosie and Louding.

When Webb took the stand, Judge Mike Erwin warned him of the consequences of perjury.

Webb told the courtroom him and Lil Boosie are very close cousins. Webb said “Him [Lil Boosie] and Terry Boyd has never had beef whatsoever.”

Webb also admitted that Louding called him several times while he was in jail.

“I been convicted, he know I know how it go” Webb said to Cummings. “I told Marlo Mike to tell the truth, if Boosie had something to do with it, tell the truth.”

He continued, “I have no problem with Marlo, I personally think he’s innocent.”

The prosecution then decided to play recorded phone calls between Webb and Louding.

In the phone calls the jury was able to hear Webb say to Louding, “You gotta roll with what I’m telling you, follow my lead,” and “Ain’t nobody see you do nothing ‘cause you ain’t do nothing,” and “F **k what happened at first, it’s all about you and Hatch…We need Hatch out to put the bread up.”

When the tapes were done, Dana Cummings said to Webb, “Isn’t it true that follow my lead means tell the lies I tell you to tell?” before Webb could reply, Defense attorney Williams objected to the leading question.

Cummings then continued to ask why Donkey had suggested that Lil Boosie could put ‘the bread’ up?

“Torrence [Lil Boosie] is the wealthiest person in our family because of him being a rapper, if he is out making music, then he can help,” Webb explained.

Before coming off the stand, Cummings asked Webb, if he was so interested in telling the truth, why does he use slang words?

Webb replied, “I wasn’t taught to talk like you talk [Cummings]…We rappers. That’s the way we run it. When I say ‘run it’ it means, ‘say it’ or ‘talk.’”
