Where is Davidson's mother? Where is his father? Or does mama know who the father is? Why isn't she in the courtroom supporting her son? Where was she when Cobbin's went down? The family was represented by a sister and a cousin. Even your family doesn't like you, Marcus.

It will be interesting to see tomorrow who the defense is going to drag into court for mitigating arguments.
