They should make him pick the sandwich out of a line up.
Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw.
"Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks.
Lairmore won't confirm.
"I did not go back to collect it," he says.

The essays of @juliusgoat.bsky.social leave me with mixed emotions. They expose the atrocities happening in our nation - our home. They can make me sad, enraged, or a step away from hopelessnes, but he keeps me from giving up.
