Thanks for having me, Andrea.

So, Jay, we should just start this off by saying that Rashawn Jones has pleaded not guilty.

He says he was never jealous of Brian, certainly not jealous enough to kill him.

What evidence has the prosecution presented so far to try to prove Jones's state of mind at the time of the murder?

Well, prosecutors are saying that Rashawn was both envious and jealous of Brian.

Brian was a shooting star at the time of the murder.

He had everything going for him.

He was a huge talent on the football field, destined for the NFL.

Rashawn, on the other hand, was suspended right before the murder for having tested positive for marijuana use.

So yeah, his future wasn't nearly as bright as Brian's was.

And then there was Brian's girlfriend, Jada Brody.

Apparently, she had had a relationship with Rashawn before she met Brian.

Prosecutors have been trying to hammer home that that too was a source of tension.

And then prosecutors have spent a lot of time presenting evidence of a fight between Rashawn and Brian two years before the murder.

Brian punched Rashawn and Rashawn responded, you better clip up.

Which Brian understood to mean, you better get your guns.

Did anything happen closer to the time of the murder?

Well, that's interesting.

You know, not really.

Except for this.
