Jury has been brought out once again.
Hylton is back to questioning Copeland about his conversation with Detective Thorpe.
"I don't recall any conversation with Detective Thorpe," Copeland said slowly.
"I understand you can slow it down but I'm going to keep asking these questions," Hylton said.
"Can you explain what I don't recall mean? Don't it mean I don't remember right?" Copeland asks Hylton.
"I'm just making sure I'm saying the right thing. I don't remember this stuff," Copeland said.
Copeland testified that he went to Miami after Donovan Thomas Jr. murder and said Young Thug might have paid for his hotel in Miami but wasn't sure.
He testified that he was in Miami with Young Thug's sister.
As part of his plea deal, Antonio Sledge acknowledge that "on January 10, 2015, after the murder of Donovan Thomas, Jr., YSL associates travelled to Miami, Florida, with co-defendant and YSL founder Jeffery Williams AKA Young Thug".
Javaris Bradford, Justin Cobb, Deamonte Kendrick, Demise McMullen and Shannon Stillwell were charged with murder in Donovan Thomas' death.
Copeland testified that Stillwell was in Miami too after the murder.
Do KTT dorks still want Thug in jail even after years of calling his music classic while rapping about what he’s going to court for? 🤔

What
The state began by asking about a series of shootings targeted at Woody or his relatives.
They ask if Woody believed he was being retaliated against and why.
Woody: "Clearly. They all thought I killed Nut."
The state asks Woody if he was concerned about being labeled a snitch.
"I don't care what I'm labeled as."
Sounds like at some point, Woody became in possession of Nut's chain. He ended up returning it.
Woody told a detective previously that he was the one who stole it, but on the stand today he says that was a lie, but he really was the one who returned it.
The state (and detectives) repeatedly ask Woody if he was concerned about being labeled a snitch.
He goes on a rant here arguing, if he was so concerned about being labeled a snitch, why would he ever give the police the truth at any point,knowing it would eventually come out?
He explains his reluctance to give specific names as "buying time to come up with something"
The line of questioning moves to a gun case Woody had where he was arrested for having a gun in a recreation center.
"Why did the Police lock you up?
"Cause I'm Woody."
According to the state, Quindarious Zachary bought him the gun.
Quindarious Zacharay is another state's witness who also gave statements to the police implicating defendants in this case.
Woody had a full 9 hour interview in June 2015.
According to this interview, Woody felt like he had to kill Thug in 2015.
The state asked why he felt that way.
Woody says he had told a friend "he was plotting on Thug" and he heard it may have gotten back to Thug.
Woody admits to probably texting Thug's sister in 2015 "Damn, your brother is trying to have me killed".
He said he was paranoid and this was his way of trying to "force a reaction" from Thug to test if Thug actually found out about Woody's plans.
"Did you believe the truth would hurt Thug?"
"That would be his problem. The police locked me up, but they were after him."
In that interview, Woody tells the police Thug, OG Bentley, and Shannon had something to do with Nut's death.
Bentley and Thug are not charged with the murder.
Judge ended the testimony for the day and tells Woody to come back Monday at 8:30.
