They will likely retry this case. Fingers crossed they come back with a stronger case and more coherent timeline, for the sake of Trevon’s family. WHEW apologies for the length, I felt compelled to write about this.

A crucial call between Trevon and this account seems to have prompted Trevon to leave the house wearing a mask and carrying a loaded gun. Without knowing who this key player is, the Commonwealth was unable to explain why Trevon left the house or why the Cadillac and Jeep came to his neighborhood./

witnesses were coached by the Commonwealth to change/enhance their testimony after watching surveillance video.Additionally, BPD was unable to identify “GZ Drilly” (sp?), a Facebook profile that Trevon talked to in the minutes before his death.
Facebook apparently didn’t respond to their subpoena./
