Lawyer Joe Tacopina discussed the controversial trial involving ASAP Relli, whom he described as "the worst witness in American jurisprudence history." Tacopina claimed he exposed Relli's dishonesty during the trial, particularly highlighting instances where Relli made questionable assertions. Relli, who claimed to have been shot in the knuckles and portrayed himself as a victim, allegedly went back to the crime scene to find bullet casings that had eluded investigators. Tacopina pointed out the absurdity of Relli's ability to locate evidence that seven officers did not find.
Moreover, Tacopina recounted how Relli perjured himself by denying having fired a gun before a set date, only for a video to surface of Relli at a shooting range weeks prior. When Tacopina's son independently verified that the video locale was in Los Angeles, contradicting Relli's statements, it led to a significant turning point in the trial. Tacopina's relentless cross-examination painted Relli as unreliable, eliciting laughter from jurors and undermining the witness's credibility in court.
