I noticed Brian on the ground, so I hopped out of the car.

And I was like, yo, stop playing.

I tell people to this day, that was the hardest thing I've ever had to do with my life.

To call that.

When the prosecutor first started showing some of the photos from the crime scene and some of the photos of Brian's body, it was a really emotional moment for the family.

I mean, they were leaning forward, they were grabbing tissues, some of them turned their heads away.

It clearly had an effect on them.

And former teammate Eric Moncour testified about the day that they came up to his dorm room.

He witnessed taking the stand today in the murder trial of Rashawn Jones, a former U.N.

professor, detailing what he heard and saw the night Brian Pata was shot and killed.

The state plays for the jury a recorded testimony of Paul Connor from a hearing in 2022.

It was treated as regular testimony.

The million-dollar question in this is, did the jury believe Paul Conard?

Now these two statements are completely at odds with each other.

One of the final witnesses that the state called was Detective Juan Segovia, and he had been assigned in 2020 to take over the case, and his testimony was incredibly useful for the prosecution because it took all these little pieces of testimony from all these other people and essentially tied it together in a very effective narrative as to the motive, the means, the opportunity for Rashawn Jones to kill Brian Pata.

It was the threats accompanied with the display or talk of the same type of firearm that killed the victim.

It was the phone records.

The jury also got to hear the post-arrest interrogation interview over Sean Jones.

Is that the first time that you have any beef with Brian whatsoever?

The pathway of the bullet to Mr. Ipata's body was from his left side, several inches above his left ear.
