easier for me to do 375 00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:40,751 what I know I have to do next." 376 00:16:40,834 --> 00:16:43,670 Members of the jury, these are the words 377 00:16:43,754 --> 00:16:46,089 that Shanelle Tucker texted to a friend 378 00:16:46,173 --> 00:16:48,300 weeks before the victim's murder. 379 00:16:48,383 --> 00:16:50,552 And I can assure you that this is just a sample 380 00:16:50,636 --> 00:16:53,305 of the overwhelming evidence that you will hear 381 00:16:53,388 --> 00:16:56,725 during this trial proving that Shanelle Tucker 382 00:16:56,808 --> 00:17:01,980 was not acting in self-defense, but rather in cold blood... 383 00:17:02,064 --> 00:17:06,109 calculating exactly how and when 384 00:17:06,193 --> 00:17:10,364 to make the victim Jamarion Tucker pay the ultimate price, death. 385 00:17:10,447 --> 00:17:15,327 Our evidence will show that this wasn't some self-defense action 386 00:17:15,410 --> 00:17:16,745 as the defense will claim. 387 00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:20,624 No, this was a woman who planned this crime. 388 00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:25,420 In fact, our evidence will show that she planned it so well 389 00:17:25,504 --> 00:17:28,257 that she used the system as her alibi. 390 00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:31,218 Now, while you may hear some things 391 00:17:31,301 --> 00:17:34,847 that go against Jamarion Tucker's beloved football image, 392 00:17:34,930 --> 00:17:37,599 remember, he is not on trial here. 393 00:17:37,683 --> 00:17:42,229 The defendant Shanelle Ashley Tucker is for his murder. 394 00:17:42,312 --> 00:17:44,982 We are confident that the state of California 395 00:17:45,065 --> 00:17:46,692 will prove beyond a reasonable doubt 396 00:17:46,775 --> 00:17:49,695 that the defendant committed first degree murder. 397

Tucker suffered 407 00:18:33,572 --> 00:18:39,036 years of emotional, financial, and physical abuse. 408 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,372 We will also show that in the months leading up to Mr. Tucker's death, 409 00:18:42,456 --> 00:18:44,166 he was suffering financial troubles, 410 00:18:44,249 --> 00:18:47,544 his behavior was becoming more erratic, 411 00:18:47,628 --> 00:18:52,341 and that Mrs. Tucker truly felt that her life was in danger. 412 00:18:52,424 --> 00:18:56,803 We'll show that she didn't plan to murder Jamarion Tucker. 413 00:18:56,887 --> 00:18:58,931 No, her plan was to simply leave him. 414 00:18:59,014 --> 00:19:02,351 However, we're gonna show that Jamarion Tucker 415 00:19:02,434 --> 00:19:07,689 made that plan impossible by using fear, money, and power 416 00:19:07,773 --> 00:19:10,067 to thwart whatever freedom Mrs. Tucker had. 417 00:19:11,068 --> 00:19:14,738 And when she finally, she finally got the chance 418 00:19:14,821 --> 00:19:18,367 and the courage to just walk away... 419 00:19:19,368 --> 00:19:25,874 Mr. Tucker placed his hands around the defendant's throat, 420 00:19:25,958 --> 00:19:28,126 hoping to end her life once and for all. 421 00:19:28,210 --> 00:19:31,630 She had no choice but to defend herself. 422 00:19:31,713 --> 00:19:34,174 You'll also hear from our experts 423 00:19:34,258 --> 00:19:36,552 who say that Black women have the highest rates 424 00:19:36,635 --> 00:19:38,512 of domestic violence in a system 425 00:19:38,595 --> 00:19:41,723 that does not take their cases seriously. 426 00:19:41,807 --> 00:19:45,102 Which is exactly why we're here today. 427 00:19:45,185 --> 00:19:48,730 Mrs. Tucker had to fight for her life. 428 00:19:50,232 --> 00:19:52,192 Now she's here doing it again. 429 00:19:52,276 --> 00:19:56,488 So please, don't make the same mistake the system made. 430 00:19:56,572 --> 00:19:59,032 Protect Shanelle Tucker at all costs 431 00:19:59,116 --> 00:20:02,661 and find her not guilty of

pool of his blood. 445 00:20:36,028 --> 00:20:38,572 Next to him, was an award that was used as the murder weapon. 446 00:20:38,655 --> 00:20:40,324 There was also a trail of blood 447 00:20:40,407 --> 00:20:42,201 that indicated that the body had been moved. 448 00:20:42,284 --> 00:20:44,828 Mr. Tucker had been hit in the back of the head 449 00:20:44,912 --> 00:20:46,663 causing blunt head

00:20:57,966 --> 00:21:01,011 In your estimation, would Mr. Tucker still be alive 456 00:21:01,094 --> 00:21:03,096 if he had made it to the hospital after being hit 457 00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:05,015
