The accused attested, gives the mayor of Springs, Hass Crime 'Hoax' | Dishes

Denver • One of the co-accused in court because of his alleged participation in the Hass criminals, which made headlines during the election of the mayoral elections in Colorado Springs, said local politicians played a role in planning the incident on Thursday.

The 35-year-old Derrick Bernard Jr., against the advice of his lawyer Tyrone Glover, came up and claimed that the then candidate Yemi Mobolade was behind the plan and had worked with the Rep. Regina English, D-Colorado Springs to win the election.

Bernard, whose testimony was different from these former witnesses, was asked about English and claimed that some of her election workers were present in a April 23, 2023, which was crossed to burn, which together with a racial sludge against a staged hatred crime.

At one point, Bernard suggested that followers of Mobolade's election opponent Wayne Williams, who is now in one of Mayor Mobolades' advisory bodies, possibly held the “joke”.

“Who knows? Maybe he did it,” said Bernard.

Bernard said that for the first time he thought to win Mobolade as a “long shot” that he hadn't expected. After Bernard allegedly met the businessman, he said that he was a “cool type”, and his opponents are not “beneficial” for what the city needed. He described Mobolade as a “close friend”.


Bernard said that he “agreed to promote what happened”, with the slur and the cross fire, but that he was only involved in his staging much later and found the details much later.

“I was really not present (that night),” said Bernard. “I wasn't.”

During his certificate, Bernard claimed that Mobolade knew about the “joke” and planned him “carefully” to ensure that he was not examined.

Co -accused Ashley Blackcloud, 40, had the opportunity to testify on Thursday after the defenders had informed the court that none of their planned witnesses would testify. Blackcloud did not decide to testify.

A third suspect, Deanna West, 38, was guilty in March and said on Wednesday for law enforcement. Your conviction is planned for September.

On Thursday on Thursday, the public prosecutor's office laid its case with the conclusion of the certificate of the FBI specialist agent Ethan Doherty.

The case began in November, when the US law firm announced Colorado that a federal jury had charged three people to “malicious false information about a threat from fire” in order to support the later winner of the Mayor of Colorado Springs.

Videos and photographs of the incident were sent to a mass -e email on the media along the front, whereby the law described as “disgusting” and point out that Williams, who is white, could be to blame because he “crowded hard to win the candidacy (the) candidacy.

During the procedure, lawyers on both sides spent a lot of time to discuss a six -minute call between Bernard and Mobolade in the days after the incident appeared between Bernard and Mobolade.

Bernard claimed that the phone call was the “joke”, which contradicts what Mobolade said on Tuesday. During the call, Bernard claimed that Mobolade had promised to “squeeze” the story when Bernard expressed concern about the counter reaction.

Mobolade said he couldn't remember what the call was, but said he reported Bernard to the authorities if the “joke” had been a topic of conversation. He was also asked if Bernard pressed him on favors what Mobolade contested.

Bernard said that Mobolade, once in office, would help to finance the radio station Bernard, the “family arcs the Slide World Broadcasting Network”, or “Die Schlech”.

Bernard also claimed that Mobolade had promised him protection against law enforcement. The accused added that this case would not have been a federal matter if he hadn't been the only black radio station in Colorado Springs at that time.

“I had guarantees that I would not take care of it,” repeated Bernard several times.

Doherty said about text messages between Bernard and Blackcloud, which were sent on May 16, 2023, in which Bernard sends a link to job offers with job offers to Blackcloud to advertise them.

“I want favors faster than later … If I can place PPL, we cannot lose,” explains Bernard. “We are lit between Yemi, Regina and Tony.”

It was unclear who Bernard referred to when he mentioned “Tony”.

Bernard led the US lawyer Bryan Fields several times during his time and told him that he “wasted the time of the jury” and “would not stumble with semantics”. Bernard also tried to rise at one point on the stand.

“Why are you behaving silly and boring?” Bernard said to Fields. “Have you made your research about me? Do you know who I am?”

At some point Bernard said that he no longer wanted to speak to fields and he had the opportunity not to answer his questions. Regina M. Rodriguez, judge of the US district court, corrected him and said that, since he was agreed, he was exposed to cross-experiences.

Throughout the process, the public prosecutor has tried to prove that the “joke” was a “true threat” and not an act of “political theater”, as the lawyer of Blackcloud, Britt Morton Cobb, claimed during the opening arguments.

When asked what the message of the cross fire was, Bernard replied: “It is not a threat of death.”

“Other people thought it was a real threat. Yemi Mobolade didn't,” said Bernard.

Mobolade and his wife Abbey Mobolade claimed something else during their respective certificate on Tuesday.

Bernard is currently serving a life in prison, without the possibility of probation for the arrangement of the murder of William Underwood from 2019, which had the rapper name “Fyl Jackk”. Aee Shawn Mathews, 26, the accused Triggerman, was acquitted, and to kill Underwood, but found the conspiracy guilty of committing the murder in a legal proceedings last month.

Bernard's criminal history was raised in court on Thursday when he was asked by fields whether he had respect for the courts and the law. Bernard claimed that the law enforcement officers in Colorado Springs had worked out for him and he was in the middle of an appeal procedure for the conviction.

Doherty was interviewed on Thursday after the FBI examination and said that the investigators believed that the crime was already staged by Mobolade trailers in July 2023. However, the agent said the FBI had not informed Mobolade about it, but the police in Colorado Springs.

At some point, Mobolade was examined, said Doherty, but according to a letter from the US law firm's letter, no charges were submitted that were introduced as evidence at the beginning of the week.

Mobolade initially denied the call to Bernard. Doherty said the FBI knew that Mobolade made false statements at the time. Mobolade has also left out some details when he spoke to federal authorities, including the fact that he started using a new personal cell phone the day after the “joke”.

Doherty said that Mobolade became a suspect because it was unclear what kind of relationship he had with Bernard and because his wrong statement in the first FBI interview.

However, Doherty explained that Mobolade as a suspect was excluded when the FBI received essential evidence that the mayor made many phone calls during this time, which could explain why he may not remember the six -minute call.

After the first interview with the FBI, Doherty said that Mobolade was more willing to discuss further details and to work completely together.
