over an hour into his cross examination yesterday morning elmer said to harris “you’re safe here,” referring to a still from the video of the assault. harris reacted strongly, “i’ve already been hit! i’ve been maced! i’m not perfectly fine there!”

in the afternoon, w/ jury not present, elmer said “he coulda stayed right there curled up in a little ball. but he didn’t do that.” judge moore, to his credit, said incredulously, “you really believe that?” elmer: “he woulda been safer.” judge: “he would’ve been a sitting duck.”

elmer in closing: “if someone attacks you, they’re probably gonna do it again. you’ve got to stop them to make sure they don’t do it again.” “you have the right to defend yourself until you’re not in danger anymore.” “deandre kept getting up in defiance of the laws of gravity.”

Not a chant but… “Your fascist movement is like a top-quark bound state: based on ludicrous theories, and can’t bind together for shit.”
