>> AND WE WILL SEE YOU THEN AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ON CRIME. WATCH TONIGHT. A SUSPECT ACCUSED OF KILLING A MAN IN A FIT OF ROAD RAGE COULD BE CLOSE TO LEARNING HIS FATE. MARK KAFKA IS FACING CHARGES FOR THE SHOOTING DEATH OF CHRISTIAN GORILLA BACK ON JULY 18TH OF 2023 NEWS FORCE TANNER DE LEON WAS IN COURT TODAY. YOU HEARD FROM BOTH SIDES, TANNER. >> YES, EXACTLY RIGHT. ACTUALLY RESTED THEIR CASE IN ATTORNEY SAYS THE EVIDENCE, AN INCONSISTENCY IN WITNESS TESTIMONY PROVED KAKO ONLY SHOT GIRL OUT OF SELF-DEFENSE. >> BUT THE STATE ARGUES IT DIDN'T NEED TO GET TO THAT POINT IN THE FIRST PLACE. >> HE DEFENDED HIMSELF IN AT STATE OF OKLAHOMA.

CAUCUS SAYS ONLY THEN DID HE PULL OUT HIS GUN AND SHOOT HIM. BUT THE STATE'S CASE, OUR USE, BOTH MEN WERE EQUALLY AGGRESSIVE IN THAT COCKPIT COULD HAVE JUST DRIVEN AWAY. THE DEFENSE ARGUES WITNESS TESTIMONY HAS BEEN INCONSISTENT IN ALL OVER THE PLACE AND HE HOPES JUDGE TOPPER WILL LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED TO MAKE HIS DECISION. >> THE WAITING GAME IS TOUGH. MISTER HAS BEEN IN JAIL FOR A VERY LONG TIME FOR A CRIME HE SHOULDN'T BE HELD FOR.
SO ANY DELAY STUFF. BUT I THINK IT'S IN THE DAY WE'VE HAD CASES BEFORE INCH FRONT OF JUDGE TOPPER TRUST HIM TO MAKE A DECISION. AND IF HE DOESN'T MAKE A DECISION THAT MATCHES OKLAHOMA LAW, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPEAL. THANKFULLY. >> NOW, JUDGE TOBER DID NOT GIVE A TIME FRAME ON WHEN A DECISION WILL BE MADE.
