Was on a jury a couple years ago that convicted a local d-bag


When he was arrested he was help through trial (5 months) on outstanding warrants for failure to pay child support (3 different women).

He was popped for assault and robbery. He punched a guy in the face and stole a bottle of pop, a pack of cigarettes and an old flip phone.

When the cop watched the security camera he immediately knew who to go pick up because of over 10 previous arrests for similar actions. However all he was allowed to say in court was in response to how he knew the person on the security tape: "from interactions around the neighborhood"

His defense was it couldn't be me because I was with the mother of 2 of my kids (2 of her 8). He paraded up momma and her 16 year old as witnesses who told a remarkably similar version of the story, that was not possible and thus was obviously rehearsed (was only gone at that time for 10 mins from her brothers house which was at least a 10 min walk).

The fun parts....
-16 year old asked by defense atty "what is your relationship with the defendant". He looks confused so the question is rephrased "how to do you know Joseph". Response (in the most stereotyped way possible with his hoodie up and his pants around his thighs and his hand in the front of pants) "he my momma baby diddy"

-Momma says she knew they were at her brothers house because they are living with her mother and her mother works during the day on Saturdays and won't let her, Joseph and the 8 kids be at the house if she isn't home.

-Momma uses the police coming to visit them about a stolen motorcycle as part of her alibi.

-Momma knew he couldn't have been at the store alone and her 16 year old was with him because she didn't let him leave the house alone because he tended to stray (at least she was honest about that say the other 3 baby mommas)

-Her brother's version of events and timeline actually made sense and completely blew her and "baby diddy" story out of the water.
