Unanimously, they all answer saying they all don't know anything about who and why this happened and is about. Cops immediately ask for security footage. -

Trial Pt 1 Continuation

Trial Pt 2
The Courtroom continues with a dreadful silence as the both sides present strong counter-arguments for each others statements, the only one's talking are both prosecutors and attorneys asking for witnesses to take a stand . The prosecutor countless times continues mentioning throughout the trial the fact that the camera footage provided by Walmart was enough prove that McLovin had done the crime, however the attorney argues that because the footage is blurry, it could very well not be him. -
Trial Pt 2 Continuation

Verdict
After a long difficult, back and forth time. Eventually, the Jury exit the room to discuss for their verdict for McLovins case.

Now the ball is with them and they admit to the Court itself, McLovin is GUILTY. -
