This case is far from over.

I believe that the jurors will understand the difference between murder and an act of mercy and compassion. Just because the prosecution has indicated that this is murder, that does not mean it is so.

I think this is never a crime under any circumstance. This is a consensual issue. It's an issue of self-determination and self-autonomy.

It's disingenuous to speak to the media to try and suggest that Proof shot first. There are ways to determine what shots were fired and by whom. There's an ongoing investigation. Until all of the factual evidence has been evaluated, an opinion by the Detroit Police Department is premature.

To indicate that Proof pulled the trigger is reckless and quite frankly it will be proved to be untrue.

I believe that this investigation is ongoing and continuing and it's far from over. And so we wait patiently to get the results of the very definitive evidence in this case.

This is an opportunity for people to look at something they might be afraid of and make a determination of how they feel about the issue after seeing this take place before their very eyes.
