When he started talking about the aunt's murder his body language changed you could tell his hurting. May Zion grow up to be an outstanding gentleman.
Yes his voice got lower he even sat further down in the seat. You could tell he’s hurting and missing his Aunt T poor thing loosing her in that way then the Grandma died and his mom is battling a drug issue my god could it get any harder for this boy. I just want to scoop him up in my arms. He needs much ❤🙏🏻.
I agree with you one hundred percent he's so intelligence
Yes I noticed that shift too-so tired and sad
An outstanding gentleman indeed 🥰
May Zion find healing and love after all this trauma. I hope his mum gets help to look after him. Why was no one supporting him through this interview. An 11 year old questioned in court like an adult. It's soo sad a video I terrier with a court appointed adult to support him would have been ok
This young man is so adorable. May God put a shield of protection over him to protect him from any harm🙏🏾
Amen
Amen
He's a child
He needs other resources too ❤. This child needs protection for the rest of his life. Look out for him. Donate to him if you can. Mentor him & or his community members if you live in the area. Give back. But prayer is great too. Please pray for change of heart in cruel people as well.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💙
This is ridiculous! This child shouldn’t have had to go through this but he’s to be applauded for doing a very good job! My prayers go out to him. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes, he did and stuck to his answers. He knew he
didn't need to see the raccoon .
@@suzanmatias8661 and his mother passed a few weeks ago
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@riorio-rt1oq aa
He should have never been questioned without an Adult PRESENT after all he is A MINOR
Zion .. your auntie and grandma instilled something great in you . Such grace and mannerism . God please cover this young man , guide him through this uncertain world. Give him courage to overcome any obstacles that will try to prevent him from achieving greatness.
This world is so unfair 😢.
We live in a fallen world.
He is so polite! Great boy...even after they keep asking him several stupid questions, he still says, "Yes Sir"...very proud of him after all he's been through...
Does anyone know who he's living with now?
Amen🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤗
His mother recently just passed away 😢
This young man is such a bright, competent and brave person. I've never seen a child answer questions being so poised, proper, truthful and competent. He did better than any adult that would have had to testify Infront of all those lawyers, court staff, judge, jury and those watching proceedings. His Aunt and Grandma would have been so proud of his testimony. You can tell that he loved his Aunt so very much. It's so sad that he lost such a important, close and involved love one. I pray that he will get counseling so he can continue to pursue his life goals like his Aunt would have watch him grow into a wonderful successful man. May God be with him.
Well written ❤
It’s a shame these incompetent cops are executing our brown youth and guardians just to parade into court and play games about why they did what they did.
Hidden Treasure ... how rude are you? It's a child in a court room intimidating, which in itself. He's seen a relative (someone) get shot in front of him. There's a lot of trauma and emotions going. He has been questioned for 3yrs, at some point in time, and still having to be a kid; so, asking questioning could become very difficult. When you have to keep on re- living/replaying a tragic experience, it can become frustrating and overwhelming. You must not have any kids and dont how their emotions are handled during a tragic moment or experience. My daughter is going through that right now. We are not coaching her, and we are telling her to stick to her truth even when feeling uncomfortable and intimidated. It's not a good place for a child to be mentally
@@consuelajackson2516
This world is not a good place to in with guns.
@@hiddentreasure6578 🤔
This child deserves an award for this. He is bright in his recollection, polite, mindful, thoughtful, and displays such honesty and respect. How he remains so composed is beyond my imagination.
To atrorneys, it's there job to win. Justice is if it just happens to be the correct verdict.
Obviously you didn't watch the video of his statement taken 2 hours after the event, or you wouldn't be commending his recollection or honesty.
@@interiorurbanmining1155
2 hours after the incident, he was probably still in traumatic shock. That is a brave CHILD, and also a victim! And you sit there so righteous behind your anonymity
He's obviously went some therapy to deal with the trauma
@@interiorurbanmining1155 ....you're a LIAR.
Sharply dressed, incredibly poised, articulate and respectful. Kudos to you Zion for upholding your Auntie's legacy.
AGREED! 💯🙏🏾🖤😽
,
Amen, I was thinking the same thing. This baby did not let up nor flinch for one second....Love It God protect him at all costs
Facts!! He handled this like a strong young man!! I wish nothing but the best for him. He is adorable and so intelligent. That attorney on the other hand.....🤬👊
he is going to be great in life
I'm in absolute tears!!! I still suffer from my sibling's loss. The fact of seeing this CHILD as strong as he is after losing not one but TWO of his protectors!!! Lord help this child and protect him and those around him!!!
Same here......I lost 4 siblings all 5 y/o & under when I was young. Sadly, didn't find out until I was 35. Secrets destroy lives's....
In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
Me too!! I can't help looking at his Young face and how Well behaved he is; and how he Answers like a little man; breaks my heart.
The Lord will guide him. Amen!
His face should not have been revealed. And that the defense attorney is trying to confuse him. First of all this poor child's rights were violated when at 8 years old the cops questioned him without him having legal counsel or a guardian present, shortly after he witnessed his aunt dying on the bedroom floor from being shot. My heart aches for him because he has to relive this trauma. His aunt died 2019 and three months later he lost his grandmother. Way too much trauma and almost 3 years later the cop is finally on trial. He needs counseling and I hope his mother gets help because he has kept his emotions bottled up. I just want to give him a big hug.
Lost his grandfather at the same time also
@@queencleo8308 So many core losses to only be 11 years old. I will keep Zion in prayer🙏
It sounds like a trial from down south in the 1950's and 60's. The questioning is trying to mislead the young man.smh
Point exactly. Bc thee first thing they’ll mention…his facial expressions…smh. They’re wrong and dirty…
A child had to tell them it's been 3 years, and I don't remember! With all of the other stressors in his life! The justice system is a joke!
All that questioning is too much on a child. Bad enough he witnessed all of that and now he’s having to relive it. He’s so brave and smart.
but if he didnt witness it, and he didnt hear it, why do they drag him through this...
I think you missed the point here @@JC-dx3fy!
He's also a liar, first he said she pointed the gun at the officer then he was coerced to lie. Shame on him and on the individual who got him to change his story.
@@josegalvan66 Lee Merrit put him up to testify and prepped him", he is as dumb as a box of rocks, like auntie, and mom etc.
@@josegalvan66 In reality it doesn't matter if she pointed or not. The cop did an illegal action by creeping into their backyard. End of discussion. Even if she did point it, you'd be arguing semantics that would go back to the original point. He shouldn't of been in the backyard lol. You lose copboy.
It’s the length of time this poor child is in the stand for questioning that’s devastating for me.
It's the length of time he spent in the back of the police car like he has committed a crime with no proper clothes on .they could have told him to get dressed
Exactly so sad 🤦🏽♀️
Exactly... knowing that a child's attention span isn't that long! The justice system is just crazy!
That part
Ikr 😢
You did amazing Zion! I wouldn't doubt it if this absolute tragedy that you have gone through turns you into an attorney for justice. You would be so good at that. So composed, so intelligent, so respectful, such a bright smile and an obvious big heart.
This is so sad how these clowns are questioning this intelligent young and so sad how they are trying to cross him up ..Lord I pray for his young soul..U are doing a great job ZION.... God Bless And keep You Strong Son..
Please Stop Badgering this young MAN..
😊
Yesss he would!
The handshake with the judge was all I needed to know about this young man. Such a respectful and well raised young man.
I noticed that also so heartwarming❤
He did an amazing job keeping his composure. Very respectful
I agree
@Clemmie Dr. St. Amand
@Clemmie Dr. St. Amand
I did not know a child could be questioned this way, bless his little soul…🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Me either!! I did NOT like how they questioned him... almost attempting to pursue him. Not cool!!
I have been with client females as young as 12 who have been rapped and attorneys rake them through the coals like it is nothing. Telling them "you dressed that way so you know, you wanted it right?" etc, just horrible to watch them go through this. Justice does not care about kids.
It's three years and he expects him to remember things he's probably forgotten.. Blocked out...still trying to Disassociate things . So proud of him💗
The childhood and youth of black children has never been respected in this system. They have never been acknowledged, or recognised as children. Animals receive better treatment and much more compassion. How could we expect anything different from the descendants of people who used black babies to bait alligators. That poor child has been traumatised and robbed of his childhood and they’re still trying to exploit him, to serve the interest of a murderer.
@@Psychoticpea damn we really still use the u wanted it cuz the way u dress card? That's so cringe 😬
Here i am 32 and can't hold one tear this young man here is strong .... I am in TEARS !!! 💔🙏🏾😭
Me too
I was too😢
God bless you🤲
What an incredibly brave young man. To be a witness to his aunt’s murder and to be able to get on the stand to testify in order to get her justice takes a lot of strength. I pray for his healing.
THAT BABYBOY IS GONNA BE GREAT JUST LOOK AT HIM HES STRONG AND HAS ANGELS ALL AROUND HIM ESPECIALLY HIS AUNTIE MAY SHE REST IN PEACE AND MAY JUSTICE BE SERVED FOR HER HER NEPHEW AND HER FAMILY PRAYING FOR THEM ALL EVEN THE WICKED ONE WHO TOOK HER LIFE🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Soo sad may his auntie,rest in peace
That boy IS great
Amen
Or, he is going to be terribly damaged. That is real trauma he experienced. Sweet boy, I hope he recovers from this.
Why are you praying for the demon who took that poor young woman's life?
Six minutes in and I just love this child. Zion, if you see this, I’m sorry this happened, it’s not right, and it’s not fair, but you did so good and I know your Auntie and Grandma are so proud of you. You’re a beautiful young man, and don’t forget that you can be ANYTHING you want. ☮️💜
Amen 🌹
AMENNN AS WELL! Bless him lord
Amen
Yess amen 3 months apart 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
this is beautiful bless your heart 🥹🤍
This young man is amazing, even when the manipulating attorney tried to trick him up. He did an awesome job, I pray he gets all the counseling, love, and help he needs.
Right 😕
That Child is only 11 years old and I think that that was too much for them to put him through where is his attorney…. I am very proud of him
❤proud of this young man!
RIGHT!!!! SO PROUD 💗 OF HIM TO STICK TO HIS TRUTH!!!!!🙏🏾🖤😽
Your Comment made me Cry; this Child Shouldn't be put through this. These damn Adults are So Disgusting.
May God protect this young man and surround him with people that will love and care for him ❤
Disgusting how they speak to him as if he’s a criminal. Disgusting that our court system would put a child in this position, to get questioned for hours & days by grown men with dry spirits. It bothers me to watch this bc of so many reasons. Im sure this is going to traumatize him more than the event .. I’m just going to pray for this STRONG boy , He deserves all the blessings
Totally agree 100%! Literally trying to force a lie to cover the truth. Dan Shame.
Was he the only witness in the room?
The USA is such a uncivilised country when it comes to things like this. In my country children testify but it’s on video call and they have professional mental support right next to them.
@@sks7438 yes, as his grandmother was the other person in the house and she has since passed
Amen
It’s beautiful how he talks about his aunt and their bond. I’m so sorry he had to go through this tragedy. He lost his grandmother 3 months later. May they both RIP and I pray whoever takes care of him provides the love he needs. He is such a intelligent kid and I know his aunt would be proud.
❤️
And he lost his grandfather the same month he lost his grandmother
Yes he is. My heart goes out to this very respectful young man.
@@KARMAGEDDEM 😳😲🤦🏿♂️
Please pray for his mom. She is on hospice. 🙏
Auntie and grandma clearly loved and cared for Zion well. Poor baby hauled up in court, spoke so well. This baby has now lost his aunt, grandmother and his mother passed in January 2023. Prayers to him ❤❤❤
When I was 11, I’m not sure if I could have did what the brave boy did. In years to come if you find this video just know that you can be anything you put your mind to. Stay brave. ❤
This whole ordeal is a tragedy but having this young man testify in open court is a disgrace! The judge could've questioned him in his chambers but our babies never get that option! The main reason why local voting matters we can control who governs the courts‼️
When my mother was murder my younger brother witnessed it he was five years old. They questioned him n he refuse to talk he was still in shocked of what his dad did to his mom. He was in shocked so he didn’t talk to anyone
You said a mouth full sister thank God for people like you. That was on the money we need a voice like your every day.
@@Birdz61 - Wow Donna, I am so sorry for you, your brother and family. That is a devastating ordeal, and I understand how difficult it is as I have gone through a murder of my parent. I know how difficult it was for me, and I was 22 years old. I hope that you and your brother are doing better, and can now find joy (and perhaps a few laughs) in the memories you share of your beloved mother. Be well and stay safe…😊
Preach 👏🏽
I thought kids faces wasn’t supposed to be shown ?
This young man will go far in life, he handled himself excellently.
He did very well
He's a child not a young man a young man is like 16
Better Than I would have!!! I would have gotten smart and said " What part of I don't remember don't you understand!!!!🤦🏾♀️
This kid seems like a very nice young man with impeccable manners! What unfortunate circumstances! I am very sorry that he lost his Aunt and his Grandma!
The boy was traumatized and might have blacked out portions of the event that triggered his question of reality... He was questioning it if it was a dream as a way of processing the trauma...
Bless his heart... I pray he finds the help he needs to process.. he deserves a metal of honor and the proper recognition of the nightmare he was faced with... He is a real soldier!! Strength, honor and courage..
Find this boy a mentor,
Help him conquer the world through peace
Come on Judge, It's one thing to allow the audio testimony but It's completely irresponsible to allow this brave child's image to be revealed for all to see!
Nothing is going to happen to him. I’m happy the jury got to see this kid.
@@magnetthep153 you can allow the jury without allowing the public, however allowing video would have to been agreed by defense and prosecution and the legal guardian.
He exceeded all expectations. The state needs to provide for his financial needs, mental health and schooling so he stays healthy during his teen years and beyond!
He so intelligent and he telling the truth.
There's literally no way for you to know that@@magnetthep153, this is a bad mean world, and I wasn't referring to the jury DUH!!!
Children who have went through trauma such as this, should not be questioned for long periods of time. Give children breaks, when testimonies are long. Don't make accusations about his previous answers. He feels he is being attacked. This is why he was starting to shut down. Remember he is a victim also.
That's true and they're pushing those shooting games they were playing.He had to go back and remember all of this and soon as he slip they're waiting to make it negative.
I really feel for this little bright guy; Defense is pushing too hard. You can really see he needs a break. I truly believe they wanted to push him hard which is sad. Many kids in trials are not put before the cameras and the audio or a video of them is played. He is so very tired he needs a break Judge.
Exactly. Too many questions
God loves us
Right but he tried to do this for his aunt and it's sad his whole world changed...I hope he be blessed and very successful
This child is a sweetheart. It hurts me to see a child go through this.
I truly hope this young man can rise above all the tragedy he has experienced. No child should ever be robbed of their childhood. I will have this young man in my prayers.
Wow! The young man is an exemplary example of how adults should behave and answer questions in court. Zion you are a brave, courageous, intelligent, respectful and loving young man. I know as an Aunt myself I’d be proud to have a nephew like you. I’m sure your Aunt is proud of you as well. You did a fantastic job and you kept your decorum even when I would have snapped at the defense attorney! That’s a strong sign of an up and coming positive leader. I have a feeling we will see you make changes for the good in this world. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for you! 💙
Graysons Mimi1221. Young Man?
@@DT-ly8lx it’s a figure of speech…
I’m guessing you just don’t have anything intelligent to contribute to this story or my comment. So what does someone like you need to do to get a little bit of attention ? You nitpick which is uncouth and frankly pathetic … tsk tsk tsk. Here’s a reply. Get a life. At the very least read a fourth grade English grammar workbook. Then all of your types of questions will make more sense to you. Bless your heart.
Grayson Mimi1221. You sound very defensive.
@@DT-ly8lx May you're not but you sound like a troll of the worst kind. You must and use discernment to know the difference between what is a compliment and what is defensive. I don't believe her comment was intended to be defensive but was a very postive complement, however; the comment you just made 'is' what is somewhat "defensive"
Well said. Wishing him the best
I can’t believe any lawyer would put this young child on the stand. He could have written his statement and it could have been read to the court. It’s clear he wants the officer to pay for killing his aunt. God Bless this child for standing up for his aunt. He has lost the 2 most important people in his young life. I pray he is getting the help he needs to heal from this horrible event. May his Aunt rest in peace.🙏🏼🙏🏼
Exactly!
The unfortunate truth of treating black kids differently is always present and is displayed here
He is pushing for incorrect response from a child
You have the right to face your accuser, so unfortunately they can question him and a written statement wouldn’t be admissible. The defense has to be able to question him as well. I don’t think it’s fair and it breaks my heart but it is the law.
@@thevallancecrew4876 You’re absolutely correct. Sad situation all around.
This broke my heart. I pray this child grows up and lives a healthy and happy life. I feel the judge could have told him something encouraging. I felt no empathy was exhibited. So sad.
This child is very honest, articulate, composed and well mannered. His composure and clarity under these extremely serious and stressful situations is amazing. He was relentlessly badgered. Many adults could not have represented this well. And remember, he didn't have his aunt or grandmother there to support him during this intense questioning. Very sad
Heartbreaking. May God bless him abundantly.
He was lying though
@@caseyusago to hell
This was brutal to watch. That prosecutor was badgering this kid. And this young man never contradicted himself once, which infuriated that prosecutor to no end. He clearly isn’t used to honesty or integrity. The kid had excellent recall about that night because those things were familiar to his world. All the badgering about the lady and what they talked about in a strange room after a traumatic event was inexcusable. Of course he wasn’t going to have perfect recall on those events. But to my view, he was still completely credible. Bravo Zion!!!
SMH. That was the defense attorney not prosecutor. Why would the prosecutor badger their own witness?? Makes no sense.
That kid was very intelligent, was brought up in a loving and respectful home. At his age during that traumatic murdering of his aunt he had exceptional recall
Nothing but God. He did better than an adult. He was very articulate. They shouldn't have shown his face. Those who commit crime that are under age 18
they don't show there face.
The criminal justice systems in some of these states are a Joke.
Umm the other guy defense was badgering yes he was he was doin to much the baby was gettn very frustrated 🤷
An extraordinary young boy. He is bright, way beyond his years, brave, composed and well mannered. I hope he doesn't let anyone or anything change him. The prosecutor attitude was very disturbing. The young boy would do better job if were to question the prosecutor.
He's not a young man He's a child white people love to do that
That young child is still in shock , he began shutting down toward the end . So horrible that he had to experience such horror . Heart breaking 💔
At the very least, they should have done half before lunch or a break and then the rest after. Probably felt like an eternity to him. Poor kid 😢. He so smart and witty and so strong to be able to endure and face that.
This boy has the intelligence of an adult. His body language is calm, collected, and a total pro. This experience is going to propel him into incredible life achievements. I pray for his mentors to keep him straight because that focus is something you cannot create. He has the intelligence and demeanor to become a CEO, Navy Seal, Army Ranger, Doctor, or anything top 1% in his life. 11 year olds DO NOT speak like this.
Oh good it wasn't just me I thought this young man was mature for his age and I was right my son is 11 and if you asked him half of these questions most of the answers would probably be I don't know I don't know I don't know even though you know he knows the answer LOL when this boy is answering respectfully and politely even to annoying and repetitive questions
Yes he is very intelligent. I've worked with children since I was young 12 now 59 children are intelligent at birth they know way more then you realize learning while they are in their mother, wome
@@matthewpitre8159 He's Way more mature than Most Adult People are in America these days.
THIS WAS SOO VERY SAD TO WATCH. THEY INTERROGATED THIS 11 YEAR OLD BOY LIKE HE WAS AN ADULT. I COULD TELL HE WAS GETTING VERY TIRED OF ANSWERING THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER. MY PRAYERS GOES UP TO GOD FOR HIM AND THE REST OF HIS FAMILY. MAY HE FIND PEACE IN LIFE INSPITE OF ALL HIS LOSES. GOD BLESS YOU YOUNG MAN.
Cops will do everything keep killing!
This grievously pain my heart and spirit how the forces of evil interrogated this brilliant young man of God I'm Praying for God to put his supernatural fence of protection all around him and each and all who take care of him and love him 🙏
My heart aches for this child. So many losses at such a young age. It doesn't matter if his Auntie had the gun up or down. She was in her own damn home and thought someone was trying to break in!
I agree. She had every right to protect herself, her nephew and her home.
I so much agree with you @karabadasski2521 ❤
He did EXCELLENT! An Attorney in the making. I bet this tragedy will have an impact on him that will direct his future so as to help many many people to come! Well done little man....well done! ❤️ Sending prayers & love.
@SujahoSince your an Attorney in the making the Defense has asked the questions to Zion now why is the Prosecutor’s asking the same exact questions is that to catch him in a lie can you explain I’m not being rude im wanting to know it’s upsetting me why he’s answered these questions and there asking again
AMEN!🙏🏽❤️
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was thinking that as well he is amazing for his age. GOD keep his arms over him…also he receive counseling now.. He has a great future
He has already made a huge impact! God continue guide, protect and bless you Zion❤️
That other lawyer was trying to confuse him. But he kept his answers the same and right to the point. This young man is astonishing, to be that young and so calm and direct while being questioned about the most horrible day of his life, that takes guts. I myself probably would've teared up n got a bit emotional while being taken bk to such a sad memory. May God
Such a smart and brave young man, he’s so articulate in answering those questions. I hope and pray he gets JUSTICE for his auntie.
I’m crying watching this as a foster mom we need to do better with our children. He is so brave and hopefully this doesn’t take a toll on him when he’s an adult my heart and prayers go to him and his family.
❤️❤️❤️
And the fact that they prob told him not cry when clearly he needs to because he’s hurting is triggering
Bless 🤗 Yo ❤️
I agree as I was raised in the foster care system from the tender age of six to age 21
Can yall PLEASE stop calling him a young man. He is NOT a young man. He's a boy! He's only 11 years old and was only 8 when this occurred. So this little boy is extremely brave and was traumatized so young. We have an issue in our community with the words we use for black boys. We are ALWAYS so quick to refer to them as men when it suits us. Let our kids be kids. Called kids until they are 18 years old.... PLEASE! He's a child. Not a man in any way. Young men are 18,19,20.... he's nowhere near that. We are too desensitized to this. Smdh!
Calling our boys men and girls women didn't start in our community, we adopted it from our white counterparts.
But you are absolutely right about not calling him man. I posted the same.
Thank You!
Soooooo
Facts it makes me super man.
Totally agree with you here.
Such a fantastic young man. So composed. Praying that his future will be blessed beyond measure.
Amen 🙏🏽
This lil boy is so well mannered you can tell he was raised right by his love ones ❤❤ so sad
*This boy is so mature and intelligent for 11 years old. Zion was getting annoyed by Aaron Dean attorney questions.*
I would too just ask me what happen so I can leave
Absolutely..I was annoyed for him..like stop asking me the questions over and over
He is straight up being badgered. I can’t believe no one is objecting. It makes me so sad for this young man.
That is the problem, everyone sees him as a young g man and not a child.
Because he's black if he was white he's seen as a lil angel 😇 our boys looked at as grown men at 10 yrs!!
No one is protecting him. Standing up for him😡🤬😭
@@taneragreen2782 why do you think the female officer began to cry at the end. She knows how much her fellow officers hate black people and their children. She's different why because she has God somewhere in her 💜
Great example of how a black child he is not given sensitive treatment as a child with white skin. I say this because I just remember the white guy who shot and killed a few people was given McDonald’s and his mental health was taken into concern immediately
This child has a great future ahead of him. I felt his pain
I thought children weren't to be revealed? My heart hurts for this child and the family as a whole. There was so much loss after the murder of his aunt. He has now lost his mother. God bless the child 🙏🏾
Wow do you know how he loss his mom?
@nakeya2pretty his mom died due to complications from heart disease( same as Zion's maternal grandma) and his mom was ineligible for the transplant list
This is unimaginably cruel. The justice system seems to victimize the innocent to protect criminals rights. Towards the end I could feel his frustration my heart is bleeding as he painfully relives the emotional trauma of that day. Much love and healing to him and his loved ones.
Yes, this line of questioning is strang to me, but I guess this lawyer is trying to establish the boy's ability to express what truly happened that day.
They are so racist and low down the judge lawyers and the whole system just so out done because he's black young and very intelligent
The cop need to go to jail I hope and pray to God he did this little boy is so smart and intelligent I see the lawyer is trying to trip him up in his words to see can he catch him in a lie but this young man is bright very smart and very intelligent and to hear him talk he have not once said anything wrong he answering their questions right and they need to put that crack of cop in jail.
Too many questions in one day.His brain is going to be tired .
I did not know cameras could record him as he is a minor. I have seen many cases where they blur out the faces of a minor or they do not allow cameras in the court room. But I guess that must no longer be a thing.
So nephew said she dropped to the floor and started crying, so she didn't immediately die. But the coward murderer killer cop that shot her is the one that went and checked on her is what I'm uncomfortable with! Bless his heart having to re live this horror that continues to effect only the black community!!!
I know to shoot her then go check on her why only one reason to see was she dead dirty
I was thinking the same thing about the cop going to chk on his Aunt hummm? he went to make sure she didn't survive that's why Zion was removed from the scene instead of administering immediate care to his Aunt
@@adrinneladrinnel0403 while we still still have have it! I'm allowed freedom of speech and I'm stating my opinion just like everyone else on here, and I don't have to mention God to strengthen my opinion he gave me a mind to THINK! for myself
Right, after he initially walked off and left her dying on the floor .
Exactly what I'm saying when he said the lady officer told him to go check on her I believe he probably killed her finish the job
Traumatized, this child is still suffering from this traumatic event. I hope he is continuing with counseling. May God continue to hold him.💜💜💜
This is extremely traumatizing. To question him the way they did and 3 years later no less with insinuations of him possibly lying was a bit much. Adults barely remember 3 years ago even if it was traumatic. He handled himself extremely better than a lot of adults would. 🙏🏽
💯
I totally agree with u...it pissed me off when the next person asked him the dame questions different ways like did yall not understand him the first time? Smh...but this young man did a phenomenal job in keeping his composure n speaking so maturely...I pray nothing but blessings on this young man's life and other children that have to go thru this 🙏🏾 💜😘🙌🏾
I’m crying so hard as I listen to this testimony. Not only did this poor child witness his aunt get murdered, but he also lost his grandmother. No child should ever have to suffer this kind of loss, pain and grief. it’s hard enough for an adult, let alone a child. My condolences, love, sympathies and prayers go out to this child and the victims friends. And extended family.
✌️😭❤️⏳💔💔
Much love, Trina from Dartmouth Nova Scotia Canada.
He also lost his grandfather. His poor grandfather suffered a heart attack just a few months after his daughter's murder. I am certain that that poor man simply died of grief.
@cheryl shaw the loss of a child is so heart breaking ,her father just couldn't carry on without her🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
😢😢😢
Just heartbreaking 💔 he needs Justice, & so does his aunt. He deserves free counseling forever. Poor kid
Trauma must be dealt with in our young ones. I pray he gets the counseling that he needs.
Bless that little man....he did so well and was so well mannered considering everything he's been through.
Because they robbed him of his childhood. He had to grow up that night and everyday there on
He definitely has a future
@@TheOringinalWolfman exactly. Seeing his aunt murdered in front of him. His mind blocked out some of the events.
This child has had to repeat this story hundreds of times, but instead of more details coming to him he has less details and I find that interesting.
@@shelleyplemons1362 i find you less interesting maam you have some nerve to judge a child get a life miss im so privileged
This kid wise beyond his years. He's brave to keep a straight face and not break down crying.
What a brave young man! I am so very sorry that he had to experience the loss of his aunt, and that he had to be a witness to her murder.
What a wonderful young man! Well spoken and mature for his age. His grandmother is doing a great job. The state needs to provide financially for him to ensure he is stable and his mental health is good.
Grandmother passed away shortly after her daughters death.
What a Sweetheart, to get up in front of all of those people and testify. You could see how it physically, mentally and emotionally it was taking its toll, but he still kept his composure. My heart broke for him. No child should ever have to go through something like this. I hope he is surrounded by love and support for the rest of his life.
This little boy is a little gentleman he’s so adorable and brave . It’s so sad that he had to go through this Horrible experience 😢 I pray for him.
I'm so sorry this baby had to go through this. Lord please continue to cover and protect this child.
“ only one of them survived “ omg he’s precious. Poor baby for having had so much heartbreak in his young life.
He’s 11 now and it happened 3 years ago. I’m not sure why the defense can’t take the answer of “ I don’t remember” for face value. I’m glad to see he didn’t answer yes to the questions he doesn’t remember. The questioning was way too long and too many repetitive questions. The defense should have just filled in missing pieces. He did extremely well.
Because they're liars themselves
That poor baby had to witness so much but he handled hiself in that courtroom like a grown man and a champion. I pray the family gets justice and that boy remains well as he grows into a man!
I cried so much when I heard about this girl's murder. I had been going through so much and too much was/is happening in this country. I can only imagine the tears this little boy has cried.
You're a strong, smart, funny, young man. May God bless you
Zion Carr is such an exceptionally bright intelligent young man. He answered these questions better than I could have. It must have been so hard to even think of this trauma & he managed to answer flawlessly. His strength amazes me. I pray that he can heal and have a happy life going forward. I wish him all the best, he deserves it. His Auntie T & grandma would be so proud of him ❤
I’d adopt this kid in a second. Amazing little man!
Prayers go out to this young man and his family
It's amazing how one would expect a child to remember events directly after a critical incident. Keep in mind that this child was in the comfort of his own home, in his underwear playing video games. Suddenly, his aunt is unjustly shot and killed in front of him. He's then subject to officers running into his home with guns drawn, while yelling "show me your hands!" He was then placed into the back of a police car, where he sat for a short time. Afterwards, he was driven to a police station where he was subject to a barrage of questions. Then he was placed into the custody of strangers for several days. This child's life was upended in an instance due to the incompetence of faulty police work. The child was obviously confused and scared. Total trauma!!Unreal!!!!
My heart hurts deeply for this child. He's so smart, strong and brave while giving this testimony.
There's more manhood in this young person than in the entire life of the defendant. He is amazing. I know his aunt, from heaven, is so proud of him.
@@miapdx503 ….Hey. Emmitt Till and Tamir Rice were children.
@@buckeyewill2166 yes 😔
Prayers goes out to him and his family 😢
This boy is so adorable 😍 look at that cute little chubby face, his smile is beautiful and his eye's are still so bright even after all of the horror he endured. He is also well mannered and speaks with intelligence for his age. "Yes sir" "no sir" I hope this boy continues to thrive.
I'm happy to see that this young man is holding himself in a great manner, but it just tells me that he has endured so much pain at a young age and that hurts 😕 😢
This is so heartbreaking! He is so innocent and intelligent! His intelligence is higher than most adults!
Amen
How darn this defense lawyer call this poor baby a liar! He really pudding me off! Your client murdered his aunt in front of him.
He is so brave. I feel for him because he witnessed this tragedy at a very young age this will stay with him for life. I pray he receives counseling for this tragedy that could have been prevented. My condolences for his loss. May she RIP

Make it make sense! With your language, we all don't bring the hood with us. Some of us know how to articulate our words.
This poor little boy, my heart and prayers go out to him. ❤️🙏
"Did anybody show you pictures of the room?"
Duh "I was already in the room"
This young boy is so poised and calm under these circumstances. My heart goes out to him for his lost.
What kind of question was that? Smh
I agree he is very intelligent and understood they were treating him poorly

Maybe sroopid should have brought a darn picture for the court to see instead of asking poor darlin feet and inches, fool that he is. He just ignoramus.
Such an exceptional child. He's intelligent, polite, and absolutely truthful. I'm so sorry he had to go through all this and that he lost his aunt. So sad.
He's going to grow up and be amazing. I just know it.
YES...intellingent....mannered.....bright.....AND BLACK !!!!!........(ref.).....Young Gifted And Black...May he be blessed by The Almighty...!
I love the way you describe him as a child and not a kid. So many people don’t know the difference. GOD Bless You!
This young man's courage is so incredible. I hate that he has to endure this type of pain, even years after being traumatized. It's like he has to re-live it all over again. God bless his soul. As well as the rest of her family.
What a brave, intelligent, respectful young man Zion is, he definitely made his Auntie and his Grandma proud. I hope he’s getting the therapy & support he needs to help him achieve all his dreams. Fly high in peace Atatiana ❤
It makes me want to cry. This young man was so articulate and well mannered. What ashame that he has to deal with this mess. These officers both should never be allowed to wear a uniform again.
11 yo? Wow impressive kid!! He's so mature and well behaved. Please protect him at all costs!
This child is a very disciplined young man. Sorry for the loss.
This is so heartbreaking 💔 😢 this young man knows what he seen happen. He knows it all. So proud of how he handled everything. Especially when they tried to confuse him. He kept saying he don't remember. Leave him alone and move on. Tryingbto rephrase questions to make it look like he is lying.
I’m glad you seen that! They needed to be ashamed of themselves
@@nicolehall3302 right! Very ashamed. Smh
@Cookie G I totally agree 🙏🏽
This is sad. They are not considering his tender and grieving heart. I’m broken for him.
Don't be broken, This is good for his Maturity, it will make him grow up strong minded and highly Articulate. 😀🙏
Yes, indeed 💯
I just want to wrap my arms around this little boy. Such composure and strength while testifying about something so scary.
Brave little guy. He kept his composure so well. God bless him
Zion...bless you young man. It's such a prideful moment to see some as young as you are show such courage and poise in a moment like this. I pray for the elevation of your future. The situation may be a tough one. But you did better than most adult would. Well done!
Way to stay composed little bro! The bravery and the maturity to sit through such a difficult conversation, watching this was truly agonizing.
Right my Stomach was in Knots. And that Man know what games are
Very, I was getting to irritated, asking so specific questions, trying to throw him off. Same damm question over and over. They trying so hard to confuse him. Hope he gets counseling.
I want to give this child a hug. I pray his mom is able to take good care of him and shower him with love & comfort. His aunt would be so proud of him.
He said “I don’t remember” multiple TIMES this poor baby needed a break. They were talking about the most traumatic experience of his entire life.
God Bless this young child. This never should have happened to this woman. God got you Zion you so brave.
God loves us
Oh yess Gods got him Covered he’s ok❤🙏🏽
Poor baby. My heart broke watching this. I hope he is able to go through life without being harrassed by the cops for his testimony. He already has to go through life dealing with the lost of his family and his aunt being wrongfully murdered by the cops. So much to deal with at a young age. God Bless him!!!
Sweet little boy! May God always be with him and protect his heart and mind. He’s so courageous for testifying in court. It’s a scary place to be for an 11 year old. He had to recount a horrible, traumatic event and did it with such grace and courage! God bless him!
His family must be very proud! He is a very smart young man. I hope that he gets help and has a wonderful life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
God Bless this little man's heart!!! My heart goes out to him! 😢
Hello! Obviously the Judge didn’t seem to acknowledge he is a “child.” Why didn’t this child get at least a few minutes break! This was overwhelming! Prayers for him dealing with this tragedy.
Cos the judge is just as racist as the rest of them.
You can see he was so tired needed some rest
I was thinking why are they paying attention to this young child.
So he held up better that Ofc Darch. I'm not even sure I can watch Zion's testimony.
They're asking basic questions to show his intellect.
