Yeah, and I think the judge actually did more harm to the cops in this case. Most people on that jury would likely be rolling their eyes at that point. Also the cops calling afroman to the stand blew up in their faces hard, just take a watch if your so inclined:

Like the guy or not that was a great shut down of the entire premise of the suit against him.

I really want to see the cross examination

When I have time I want to find the whole thing, but to be honest I don't know if they even bothered to cross. I mean why would you?

It was live streamed on YouTube. Many YouTube channels have the trial in it's entirety. It's not very long as trials go. Maybe 10 hours over a few days (or something like that). I've only watched part of it so far.

Same, I am glad that it was all filmed.
