Prosecutor Eric Smith also called alleged East Side Crips member Tony Haynes, someone who’s name we’ve heard several times throughout this trial.
While Haynes testified he was at the Valley Plaza Mall on February 23, 2017, he denied knowing Knight or having any contact with him ever. Haynes also denied any gang involvement knowledge, even though several officers and reports documented his alleged involvement.
Court is set to resume Thursday morning.
