The Trial is finally over and I had to testify so I didn't get to watch any of the testimony.
Brasil was found guilty of second degree murder with a gun enhancement.
15 years to life and 3-8 years for the gun used in felony.

Just got a letter from him this week saying he is not guilty of murder in any way just guilty of stupidity.
He is very optimistic about his appeal because there were several trial errors he claims.
He is also optimistic about an early parole since he has never been in trouble before.

I never got to read the paper about the trial and now I really don't want to. I will just continue to believe in my friend and pray he gets through this.
