100 CENTRE ST, June 11 รข€“ There is another murder trial in 100 Centre Street, and again hardly anyone is there. The defendant is linked to the killing of two young adults, and the shooting of a 96-year-old man. On June 11, Inner City Press live tweeted:

 ...Murder trial for killing of a resident of Smith Houses in lower Manhattan On the stand: NYPD gun expert.

He: I went to the 77th Precinct on Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, where they invoiced the gun. This crime scene was in the confines of the 77th.  [Defendant Sundance Oliver also turned himself in at the 77th, after a manhunt] 

ADA: Open the evidence bag and tell me about the gun [Witness does] Defendant: Oooh, he's got a gun! [Smiles - he has face tattoos, reportedly "Rich Forever" though Inner City Press cannot read it from here in the courtroom gallery]  

ADA: What is the package number on the box with the gun in it? [Now defendant is rocking back and forth as if he had music headphones on. Except he doesn't.] 

ADA: Did you dust for fingerprints? Witness: No. That's for the lab - we sent it out to Jamaica, Queens  Cross. Defense: You sent the gun to the lab for ballistics, DNA and fingerprints, right?

NYPD Witness: Yes. Defense: Show the photo of the gun... You were careful not to touch the slide, the grip - serial number ACH754856 - bought by Sky Brown in Vermont?
A: IDK 

 Judge Felicia Mennin: We'll end here 

   The next witnesses are all law enforcement. The trial continues
