NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The man accused of fatally shooting one person and wounding seven others at a Nashville church in 2017 testified Wednesday that he can't remember if he did it.
In a Nashville courtroom, a prosecutor repeatedly asked 27-year-old Emanuel Kidega Samson about his testimony that he had spotty-at-best memories of what happened at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ, and the moments before and after the shooting.
Samson testified that his mental health disorders have caused lapses in memory and constant shifts from feelings of ecstasy to thoughts of suicide, which he said he had the morning of the shooting. He said he's on medication now in jail and his thoughts have "slowed down drastically."
Samson said his memory kicks in at the tail end of the church shooting, when he shot himself in the chest during a tussle with a congregant who authorities say saved lives.
In turn, Nashville Deputy District Attorney Amy Hunter asked Samson if he chooses what he wants to remember.
"So, you remember driving to the church. You remember being outside the church. You remember generally where you parked at the church," Hunter asked. "You remember somebody walking by you when you were sitting out by the church. ...You remember having the mask on. You remember having a gun. But, conveniently, you don't remember shooting any of these people, or shooting at them. Is that right?"
"Yes, that's right," Samson replied.
Prosecutors have said they're seeking life without parole for Samson, who faces a 43-count indictment, including a first-degree murder charge. The jury is expected to receive the case Thursday.
Samson, who used to attend the church, is black and the victims are white. Hunter has explained that a note in Samson's car cited white supremacist Dylann Roof's massacre at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015. It also referred to the red, black and green Pan-African flag, sometimes called RBG.
"Dylann Roof is less than nothing," the note read, Hunter said. "The blood that 10 of your kind will shed is that of the color upon the RBG flag in terms of vengeance." The note included an expletive and ended with a smiley face, Hunter said.
Samson said he can't say whether or not he wrote the note.
But what he did say he remembers is writing what the defense described as a suicide note to his then-girlfriend that day.
"I'm terribly sorry for not living up to your expectations, my queen. It's no secret that I never deserved you, so it's just a bullet. Haha. Get it? LOL," the note read in part, according to testimony.
"What I remember thinking and feeling those days, or that day in particular, is waking up and just wanting to end my life," Samson said. "I was extremely depressive and I felt kind of numb."
The judge limited what could be said in front of jurors about Samson's mental illnesses Wednesday. Hunter said a mental health defense couldn't be considered because a doctor previously "wouldn't make a diagnosis that would say that he was acting in a particular way because of a mental health defense."
Before the trial, the judge largely shielded details about the case from public view. At an open hearing in April, it was revealed that a psychiatrist diagnosed Samson with "schizoaffective disorder bipolar type" and post-traumatic stress disorder after an abusive, violent upbringing.
At one point Wednesday, with the jury out of the room, Samson's father testified that he tried to convince authorities to take away Samson's guns after he sent a suicidal text in the summer of 2017.
"They said no, that is his civil right and they cannot do it," Vanansio Samson testified. "If (police) had detained him and taken him for an evaluation that time, because I believe that sickness was out there, we would have not been sitting here today, or this tragedy would have not happened."

To those 'christians' that want to forgive this POS NIGGER-okay. One second after a clip of bullets are shot through his nasty black skull.

If the xtians who are cucked cry over this NIGGER:

From the Book of Genesis, Chapter 9, King James Version:

6
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

There are so many "xtians" who say, "The Old Testament is just as relevant today as it was when it was written," until one points out that verse. Then they will mumble something about forgiveness!!! "Oh, gawd really didn't mean for people to take another's life and blah, blah, blah...…." and change the subject or something like that. Most "churches" are ubercucked these days!!!!!

The nigger remembered the mask he wore and having a gun but not shooting anyone.

The men who make it a nine eyed nigger should state not only they never did it but also that not one of them knew any of the others. They should make the defense that they were random White Men who were picked out because of their Whiteness and have their attorneys sue the (((authorities))) for profiling.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A prosecutor said Monday that a black man charged with fatally shooting a woman and wounding seven people at a Nashville church aimed to kill at least 10 white churchgoers and cited a 2015 massacre at a black church in South Carolina.
Nashville Deputy District Attorney Amy Hunter made the comments during opening statements in the trial of Emanuel Kidega Samson, 27. Prosecutors have said they’re seeking life without parole for Samson, who faces a 43-count indictment, including a first-degree murder charge, in the September 2017 shooting at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ.

Samson’s attorney, Jennifer Lynn Thompson, countered that Samson’s true intention was to kill himself. He left a suicide note for his girlfriend and sent a goodbye video to his cousin, according to Thompson.
Members of the church packed the courtroom, at times becoming emotional when attorneys and witnesses recounted a Sunday filled with chaos, tragedy and heroism. The shooting rampage killed 38-year-old Melanie L. Crow of Smyrna, Tennessee. She was shot in the church parking lot, and dropped her Bible and notes from a recently concluded worship ceremony that had just concluded, Hunter said.
Samson, who used to attend the church, is black and the victims are white. Hunter explained that a note in Samson’s car cited white supremacist Dylann Roof’s massacre at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015. It also referenced the red, black and green Pan-African flag, sometimes called RBG.
“Dylann Roof is less than nothing,” the note read, Hunter said. “The blood that 10 of your kind will shed is that of the color upon the RBG flag in terms of vengeance.” The note included an expletive and ended with a smiley face, Hunter said.
“This state will prove beyond all reasonable doubt that on Sept. 24, 2017, this defendant, Emanuel Kidega Samson, went to the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ with the intent to murder a minimum of 10 white churchgoers on that day,” Hunter said. “You won’t have to take the state’s word for it though.”
An arrest affidavit said Samson waived his rights and told police he arrived armed and fired at the church, described by the prosecutor as a multicultural, multigenerational community where everyone knows everyone.
Hunter also said the calamity revealed a “true life hero.”
Churchgoer Robert Caleb Engle has testified that during the rampage, he twice confronted the gunman, who was wearing a tactical vest and a motorcycle-style mask with a clown smile on it. Engle said he was pistol-whipped three times in the head. At one point, he pushed the gun back on the shooter and a shot fired, striking the gunman and sending him to the ground.

Engle said his father kicked the gun away, stood on the shooter’s hand and told Engle to go get his gun out of his truck.
Engle came back with his weapon, put his foot on the shooter’s back and stood guard until first responders arrived.
A judge’s order had kept many details of the case secret until trial.
At a hearing in April, it was revealed that a psychiatrist diagnosed Samson with “schizoaffective disorder bipolar type” and post-traumatic stress disorder after an abusive, violent upbringing.
“What this case is about is a man who was very sad, very suicidal, and he was looking to die that day,” Thompson told jurors Monday.

Emanuel Kidega Samson testifies in his own defense Wednesday, May 22, 2019, in Nashville, Tenn. Samson is accused of fatally shooting a woman and wounding seven people at a Nashville church in 2017.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jurors on Thursday heard jail calls in which a suspect charged with fatally shooting a woman and wounding seven people at a Nashville church in 2017 laughs about it with his then-girlfriend.
The October 2017 calls were replayed in court Thursday in the Nashville trial of 27-year-old Emanuel Kidega Samson. Jurors began deliberating in the afternoon and will resume Friday.
A transcript of the calls shows Samson said he heard the shooting victims saying “some funny (expletive)” when he was on the floor of Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in September 2017 after being shot during a tussle with a churchgoer.

Samson says in one of the calls that he and his then-girlfriend are able to “look at the humor in any situation.”

“When I put the two bullets in my chest and laid down and I was on the floor and I could hear what everyone was saying and some people were saying some funny (expletive) bruh and, I was like, if Maya were here listening to y’all’s whack (expletive), bruh,” Samson said in one call.
Samson also says in the calls that he wanted to intimidate jail guards, adding that he has an “intense African look.” And the couple also brag about how good Samson looked in news coverage.
“Big sexy hashtag, hashtag,” Samson said in that call.
Prosecutors played the calls to rebut Samson’s previous testimony denying such comments.
Defense attorney Jennifer Lynn Thompson said the calls that prosecutors played were just a handful of 1,500 that Samson made. She pointed out how quickly Samson was speaking in the calls, saying he sounded manic.
Prosecutors said the calls indicate Samson wasn’t suicidal that day; the defense argued the exact opposite.
“It is amazing that only one person lost their life in this,” Deputy District Attorney Roger Moore said in closing arguments. “It is not so amazing that that one person who didn’t lose their life in this was Emanuel Samson.”
The shooting rampage killed 38-year-old Melanie L. Crow of Smyrna, Tennessee. She was shot in the church parking lot while heading to her car to get a cough drop, and dropped her Bible and notes from the worship ceremony that had just concluded, Deputy District Attorney Amy Hunter said.
Prosecutors are seeking life without parole for Samson, who has been charged with first-degree murder and other crimes in a 43-count indictment.
Samson is black and the victims are white. Samson left a note about a 2015 shooting massacre at a South Carolina black church and aimed to kill at least 10 white churchgoers in revenge, Hunter said.
Hunter has explained that a note in Samson’s car cited white supremacist Dylann Roof’s massacre at a black church in Charleston in 2015. It also referred to the red, black and green Pan-African flag, sometimes called RBG.
“Dylann Roof is less than nothing,” the note read, according to Hunter. “The blood that 10 of your kind will shed is that of the color upon the RBG flag in terms of vengeance.” The note included an expletive and ended with a smiley face, Hunter said.
Thompson described the note as the ramblings of someone with schizoaffective disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder who was having hallucinations.
Samson testified that he didn’t remember committing the crime. He said his mental health disorders have caused lapses in memory and constant shifts from feelings of ecstasy to the thoughts of suicide he said he experienced the morning of the shooting. He said he’s on medication now in jail and his thoughts have “slowed down drastically.”
“He went to the church because he was struggling that day, because he remembered the Christianity there, he remembered the people there, and he was hoping that somebody there would do something to try to stop him,” Thompson said in closing arguments.
Prosecutors have said Samson was conveniently choosing which details he could recall.
“It’s just an easy way, I submit, of getting out of answering the hard questions,” Moore said.

No White outrage over anti-White racism. No outrage over the nigger flag. Just silence from the national lamestream jewsmedia.

Emanuel Kidega Samson planned and carried out a brutal mass shooting that killed a woman and terrorized her Antioch church — leaving its members with scars seen and unseen — a jury ruled Friday after less than five hours of deliberation.
The unanimous jury of 12 Nashvillians found Samson, 27, guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Melanie Crow, who was walking through the parking lot of Burnette Chapel Church of Christ with her Bible and sermon notes in hand when Samson shot her three times in the back and once in the face.
Samson also was found guilty on 42 other charges, including attempted murder for injuring seven other church members, three counts of civil rights intimidation and 24 counts of aggravated assault.
Samson sat silently in a gray suit and green tie as the verdict was read aloud.

The verdict was a resounding victory for prosecutors, who said at trial that Samson, who is black, planned to kill 10 white churchgoers in retaliation for a 2015 church shooting in which nine black worshipers were slain.
It was also a moment of release for Burnette Chapel church members, many of whom took a bus to the courthouse and sat in the gallery throughout the four day trial. They were there again on Friday, holding hands when the verdict was read.

Court officers had told the church members to stay quiet and avoid showing emotion during the verdict. Outside, they fell into one another's arms and let the tears come.
“When you come out that courtroom door, it bursts loose,” said Burnette Chapel minister Joey Spann, who still has a bullet lodged in his chest from the shooting. “We felt like justice has happened.”
Melanie Crow's mother Sheila Crow was in the front row when the verdict was announced, with a necklace that had her daughter's fingerprint etched on a pendant.
She came to court to see her daughter's killer punished for taking her "big gorgeous smile" away.
"We won't get her back, but ... " she said afterward, her words trailing off as her eyes filled with tears.
Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of life without parole for the first-degree murder charge. The trial jury immediately began considering the sentence at a separate hearing after the verdict on Friday afternoon. A decision is expected next week.
Sentencing on the other counts will be determined by Judge Cheryl Blackburn.
Samson's attorneys already have started preparations for an appeal. They would not comment on the case Friday because a gag order remained in effect during the sentencing phase.

Terror inside the church: 'He's killing everybody'
Prosecutors had overwhelming evidence against Samson.

He arrived at Burnette Chapel, a church he once attended, on Sept. 24, 2017 with guns, a knife and a stockpile of ammunition.
He wore a tactical vest and a white mask with a pink smile painted across the mouth.
He left his SUV running in the parking lot with a note on the dashboard that mentioned "vengeance" for Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who killed nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina.
He first encountered Crow.
Crow had ducked out of church after Sunday service to get a cough drop from her car. She told Spann she would be right back.
She was just outside the front door when Samson opened fire.
He shot her four times as she was running away. One of the bullets hit her heart. Another split the side of her face.
Crow collapsed onto the hot asphalt. She died within seconds.

Deputy District Attorney Amy Hunter delivers her opening statement in the trial Emanuel K. Samson, who is suspected in a 2017 shooting at an Antioch church. From there, Samson headed toward the church, where a crowd of worshipers was mingling in the vestibule. Spann saw him coming and tried to stop him at the doorway. He threw a wooden, home-made prayer box at Samson.
Samson responded with gunfire, hitting Spann in the chest and the hand. Then, he sprayed the crowded vestibule with bullets.
He hit Peggy Spann, the minister's wife; William and Marlene Jenkins; Linda Bush; and Catherine Dickerson.
All six shooting victims took the stand against Samson during the trial.
As bloodied bodies fell to the floor, terror rippled through the church's worship space. Church members curled under pews, cowered in the baptistery or bolted for the doors.
Those who escaped the building brought a harrowing message with them — one that church member Alecia Leach recalled from the witness stand.
"He's killing everybody," she said.
Inside the church, members described Samson pacing up and down the aisles, holding out a gun.
Until Robert Caleb Engle intervened.
Engle first grabbed at Samson as he walked down the main aisle of the sanctuary, when Samson pistol-whipped him. Then Engle confronted Samson again, standing in front of Samson and grabbing at him when the gun went off.
Samson was hit and fell to the floor. Samson told the jury he intended to shoot himself.
While Samson was on the ground, Engle retrieved his own firearm from the parking lot and stood over Samson until police arrived. Prosecutors and defense attorneys alike hailed him as a hero.
Defense pointed to Samson's mental health to explain the shooting
Defense attorney Jennifer Thompson never argued Samson wasn't the shooter. Instead she pointed to his deteriorating mental state to explain his actions and argue against the first-degree murder charge.
A psychiatrist diagnosed Samson with schizoaffective disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Thompson had fought to use an insanity defense at trial, but Blackburn, the judge, said Samson had not met the steep requirements to do so.

Thompson argued that Samson didn't have a plan to kill people when he arrived at the church that day. She said he wanted to seek help in the midst of suicidal depression.
Samson took the stand to defend himself, saying he had fond memories of attending Burnette Chapel years before the shooting. He said he didn't remember any details from the shooting and could not explain his motives, except to say that he had shot himself while standing in the sanctuary.
During closing arguments, Thompson said Samson opened fire on Spann because of a "startle reflex" after Spann threw the prayer box at him. Church members hung their heads in tears or walked out of the courtroom as Thompson made her case.
Samson's credibility with the jury likely took a hit when prosecutors played recordings of him and his girlfriend laughing about the shooting and the victims less than a month later during jailhouse phone calls.
Family history, mourning the focus of sentencing hearing
Thompson planned to focus more on Samson's mental health and his troubled childhood during the sentencing phase, in an attempt to convince jurors that he deserved a possibility of parole.
Samson's sister took the stand during the sentencing hearing and spoke about his childhood, which she described as physically and emotionally abusive. Thompson told jurors she also would show recorded testimony from a psychiatrist who had spoken to Samson.
Prosecutors asked Spann, the minister, and victim Melanie Crow's family and friends to tell jurors about the impact her loss had on them.

Crow’s sister Bridget Polson recalled looking at her sister's body, disfigured by gunshots, and urging Crow's mother and children not to look.
“They didn’t need to see her like that. They didn’t need that to be the last memory of her," she said. “They said it felt like she had just disappeared.”
Spann's voice shook with emotion as he reflected on his lost church member.
“It’s been referenced by different people that people have their spots in the church, and they do," he said. "She had her spot, but it’s empty.
"It will remain so."

Strange-NOT-how the national lamestream jewsmedia has not picked up on this.
