Former Facebook Live host has until Monday to decide whether to testify in his own murder trial
SUMMARY: Former Facebook Live host William “Polo” Edwards is facing a murder trial, and he has until his defense counsel rests to decide whether he will testify in his own defense. His attorney attempted to get a directed verdict of ‘not guilty,’ arguing that the state failed to establish the elements of the first-degree murder charge. The possibility of multiple guns being used in the shooting was introduced by the last two witnesses called by the state. The defense has tried to paint the state’s star witness as having a relationship with the victim, but no evidence of animosity or involvement in the shooting has been found.
