'You dont get the death penalty for committing a traffic infraction' That phrase Im sure hit the jury hard

What on earth is wrong with the defendant’s attorney?? He is SO unprofessional. Rolling his eyes as the prosecutor says that Mr Herring should be here today with his family during the holidays. What on earth is so unacceptable about that statement? How could anyone roll their eyes at that? He clearly holds Mr Herring’s life in low regard just like Hannah did. Disgusting people.

The closing was excellent 👌. Yes, "he didn't know her, he didn't have to do anything she said". The audacity!

That defense attorney is so childish. Completely unprofessional. The way he shook his head and made faces while she made her closing arguments. Act like a dignified attorney. What a joke.

I love how she broke down all of the definitions of the charges with examples of the crime! She is so good!

The prosecutor put the nail in the coffin with that closing argument….GIRL BYE !😂

She should have minded her own business! That had to hurt!

OMG her defence attorney is vile with those smirks and head shaking.

When being above the law goes wrong, rest in peace, Kenneth🕊️

I'm so amazed in this time of my life to witness a black woman standing as a prosecutor in the courts of the US, when 100 years such a thing would never exist. 😮 how great it is that rights have moved forward. Prejudices will OUT for the betterment of equality. God bless.

Did her lawyer just offered her water out of the same bottle he just drank out of…yuck! Both defendant and her lawyer are out of order!

I love this State's Attorney. She said, "She has the audacity to take the stand and blame everyone else" Priceless

The prosecutor delivered a FANTASTIC closing. Well done Sis ❤

This was a great closing argument. Good job.

The prosecutor's closing was actually pretty thorough

That defense attorney never stopped playing to the cameras, juru and judge. Head shaking, dirty looks, hand raising. He didnt help the defendant at all. Both are arrogant and entitled.

The defense attorney's facial expressions, body gestures, shaking his head no, etc.. as the State spoke should have been reprimanded by the Judge. Decorum and basic respect should be enforced.

"She should've minded her own business," said the prosecutor. BAM!

Is that lawyer on something? Does he not realize he is on TV?!!

All of us must learn from this horrible incident, "we must mind our business" and allow law enforcement do their job.

Imagine what she'll do if she had a Badge

This prosecutor is the most thoroughly prepared person in this trial. Shevl schooled the pretender acting as defense council. Bravo!

Rebuttal closings is this prosecutor's calling. You go, girl. Lock her up!

The attorney spent his time making faces and dozing off during the prosecutor's closing. We dont know Hannah, but I bet she is a bully and has a bad temper. She is out of her mind to think she could chase someone down and shoot them. Justice was served.

Good closing, 'the audacity to come here, take the stand, and blame everyone else'

She thought she was entitled to take the law in her own hands

Hannah Payne is done. Jury saw the video and it must have been a no brainer. She was found Guilty on all counts. Took 2 hours for the jury to decide. GG

My heart aches for him and his family

At one time in the 90s I was behind a commercial vehicle that was swerving all over the road. Left the road in front of the hospital and took out a small tree. I pulled over at a business (this was before everyone had a cell phone) and called 911. I told them he was either drunk or had a medical problem. Gave 911 his tag numbers and the name and number of the business in the vehicle. At no time did it ever cross my mind to follow, detain or kill him. Did my duty as a witness and moved on.

I think the prosecutor did a good job explaining the facts of the matter clearly and in terms that the jury can understand and use in applying justice for this case and they did a fine job at that as well.

'When trouble is running away from you as fast as it can, and you decide to chase down that trouble and make it part of your life."

This attorney was incredible!!! And the defense attorney making faces rolling his eyes should have been reprimanded Absolutely terrible!

Great closing argument, she made everything very clear, there is no doubt she is so guilty and should get the max possible sentence, he should not be dead she had no right to kill him.

He tried to offer her his water he been sipping on like they been knowing each other lol

Omg....I want to shout out....has anyone heard of "fight or flight" If indeed that poor man grabbed her, he was desperately trying to get medical help. Bless this man

In her mind she thought she was going to get interviewed for stopping a vigilante driver when she's the vigilante. Now i bet she knows better

As soon as I seen the PowerPoint presentation I knew she wasn’t playing on the closing 😅💯‼️

I once herd a story of a 105 y/o man crediting his longevity to minding his own business. Payne could learn some things from him.

It's not only minding her own business BUT disregarding the instructions from 911 dispatchers. I'm sure dispatchers are trained by materials that are based OFF EXPERIENCE and LAWS. For her to proceed anyway without complying just proves her level of INTENT. She was adamant that she was going to get him no matter what, so no "fear for her life". Even her ability to drive RECKLESSLY demonstrates that she cared little for anyone's life, while trying to stop the deceased. Most likely, her actions were influenced by the fact that she was "carrying".

This case was insanely crazy😮 Acting out the role of a police officer with NO credentials. Just a citizen with the possession of a gun.😮

She wanted to be a police officer, she wanted to act like a rogue cop, no boundaries.... she can explain that to the inmates too as I am sure someone has watched this trial and will see her on the inside.

The audacity is right. To tell a man in his vehicle what to do after you approached with a weapon but have no authority. However, she couldn't hear the 911 operator/law enforcement or authority telling her not to chase this man.

Fantastic prosecuting attorney. Well done.

The judge should have reprimanded the defence counsel. His reactions were uncalled for, unprofessional and not good courtroom decorum. Fortunately, it didn’t hold any sway with the jury. In fact the eye rolls, head shakes and shrugs probably did the opposite. If I was on the jury I would be disgusted by him.

Prosecution was thorough. Great job.

I hope this reminds us ALL to “mind our business!”

Beginning closing arguments with the defendents own words is priceless

Amazing well spoken Lady , a Concise closing does everything so much easier. Rest in Peace Mr. Hering🎍🪻🍃

She couldn't even look at him on the screen. Just put her head down. What a coward. And her lawyer is just as much a joke. So unprofessional

I thought this was a great closing argument!

She really thought she was the police for real😳😳😳😳😳😳

Can you imagine if this woman had actually become a cop? The harm she would have caused to people so she could feel powerful.... fortunately her lack of self control extended to her love for food or she may have passed the academy.

Her lawyer's body language and facial expression's said it all! He don't care either.

I hope she never sees the light of day ever. Straight to jail.

Most closing arguments are 2-3 hours long, sometimes going into the next day. She only took 33 minutes, wow! This is the most methodical and eeffective closing argument ive heard from a prosecutor. I give this a solid 9. Only point i take away is her not putting the jurors in the victim's shoes to add that empathetic viewpoint. But based on evidence, she did her thing, man.

Imagine the uncalled for shootings this woman would be in if her dream of becoming a police officer had come through.

Her lawyer offered her some of the water he just drunk from!... 😂🤣😂 Now that's nasty.

She was out to kill, and no one and nothing was going to stand in her way! Guilty as charged! Good job, Mdm prosecutor 💪💪👏👏👏👏 RIP Mr. Herring 💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭

Love how the prosecute broke down the case in simple facts. Explained all the charges, had evidence to back it up etc. This man lost his life in a tragic way. Pray justice gets served.

amazing closing argument from prosecutor so easy to understand each of the charges for me since English is not my first language

I love the DA’s hairstyle, she sure looks beautiful and sharp

Hannah otw to the slammah. RIP Kenneth Herring, this was all senseless & avoidable.

The defense lawyer is so unprofessionalsional, his mannerism is appalling. She is being judged by her actions and your representation sir😒

The Prosecutor broke this down. Every charge and a great explanation on every charge. BRAVO!!! GUILTY!!!

That defense lawyer and defendant made a good team... both smug, defensive, and unrepentant.

That defense attorney's theatric facial expressions during the States closing argument are grounds for contempt of court.

And the State rest their case👏 Outstanding job - Justice will be served 🤔

It's unusual to see a lawyer sharing water with their client in court…what a creeper,🤮 lol

Funny how her Lawyer and her face turned red with her opening statements. Well said, this woman did feel entitled to do what she did.

A+ closing argument from prosecution!

Great job on closing!

Right before he offered some of his water he moved the tissue box towards her trying to make it seem like she was crying it’s all an act I hope they make an example out of her!!

Now held acting like he sleepy that guy ain't right I don't even want call him a lawyer

Unfortunately the victim will never be able to tell his side of the story.... Always pay attention to 911 calls in all cases... It can solve a case!

Very clear smart and direct closing 🙏🏼

Hannah Payne got life in prison. 30 years is a life term in Georga. Those who committed serious violent felonies on or after July 1, 2006, must serve 30 years before being eligible for parole. Life in prison is mandatory for murder in Georgia. She got 30 years plus 13 years. That is 43 years. She will be eligible for parole when she is 68 if she does the 30 + 8+ 5.

The sad part is she had no remorse whatsoever. She tried really hard to CRY. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢that's funny not a tear in site. Girl 🛑!

Why the lawyer took a sip of water then try to offer his defendant water 💧?? 🤣 why drink it form his mouth ?? 😂

Move over Ben Crump! 'NEW PROSECUTOR IN TOWN " CONGRATULATIONS 👏 you did a marvelous JOB!

That defense attorney was ineffectual imo, what a joke he turned out to be. WOW 😯

He’s playing in the background and the defendant is looking at him like “this is my life!!” Smh

Let this be a lesson to all the Karens out there "mind ya own business ".

Her attorney was so unprofessional.

This Prosecutor called ot RIGHT when she used the term" ENTITLEMENT" Congratulations for a job WELL done Madame Prosecutor.

I can’t believe that she was sober and did something like that. You have to be really messed up in the head to make such decisions.

A true Queen educated the public on the law! If you go in front of her, you're going to be convicted and sent to prison! I bet her conviction rate is 99% or higher.

That defense attorney needs to be called out for his horrible antics during that trial,the face gestures,non stop moving and other attention grabbing antics were a clear distraction tactic aimed at the jurors,did anyone see him shaking his head yes at the jurors when the Prosecuting attorney said Mr Herring had no escape route once Hannah blocked his truck with her Jeep, it's as tho he was telling the jurors ,yes he did with that head shake.... I've never seen an Attorney act so blatantly disrespectful in court!!

Its 2023. Everyone knows you dont involve yourself in a vehicle pursuit as YOU could also be the one to cause an accident amd also be charged. Shes guilty af. Glad shes getting prison time.

Her lawyer looks genuinely confused like he doesn’t know what she actually did. He’s like “whaaaat is going on” bruh what.

The defense attorney fell asleep multiple times. He was comfortable because he knew his client was guilty. His prior theatrics were juvenile.

Did she really think the jury would believe her "self defense" claim? I mean how does she explain all the crap she caused that day? And it's crazy because I think she truly believes in her head that she didn't do anything wrong! It's like the one witness said, that after she shot him she looked all proud like she did something right. She's been playing the victim! She has some nerve acting like she was in fear for HER life! But she definitely thought she had a chance at trial to make it seem that way. And for her to think she was gonna win is just preposterous! The jury would never be able to overlook ALL the bad decisions she made that day. And what's ABSOLUTELY crazy about it all.... It wasn't even an accident she was involved in! She seriously acted like a road rager who was mad because THEY were in an accident! That's seriously how she acted towards him! I mean that's pretty much what she was.... A road rager! And all over NOTHING that had to do with her! But she turned it into HER problem.... How ludicrous. Look where it got her! And a poor guy killed. So unnecessary.... So senseless...

Y’all noticed @ 1:50 her attorney sitting by her drinker out of his water then had the nasty gall to try to hand it over to her?

Prosecutor did amazing

This young lawyer is amazing, calm and professional.

Opening and closing statements on point🎯 Guilty as charged. Thank you justice system

One of the best and organized closing arguments I’ve seen.

Absolutely fantastic job!

I feel bad that I thought this attorney wouldn't do a good job during closings! She was the BOSS!!

I haven't been able to watch this trial in entirety but just watching the defense attorney smirk throughout this closing argument is enough for me to dislike him and his client-he did not help his client in any way-she was not represented in a professional manner-
