I need to say that I discover it fairly fascinating that someone who allegedly did 10 years in jail would speak a lot to regulation enforcement understanding that each single phrase and each single facial features, hand gesture, and many others will probably be on video to later be scrutinized by the State and the Court docket. It’s thoughts boggling to me as a result of as I’m watching the physique cam footage of the Wes Watson/Elev8tion Health video put out by the good Jon Bravo of Jon Bravo Movies.
I’m puzzled. It appears to me that there was plenty of mendacity that happened for this video. I consider that Wes and his co defendants tried to tug a quick one over the responding cops. However they have been onto them from the get go. I’ll break my factors down succinctly on this article for you, which as I write it, it’s Saturday evening, March fifteenth. I’ve watched the physique cam video at least a dozen occasions in bits and items. I merely can’t put the telephone down as a result of I can not consider what an fool Wes Watson is. And I additionally really feel terrible for his lawyer and hope that he received retainer up entrance as a result of this case will certainly be one the place he can have his work reduce out for him. In any occasion let’s do a deep dive into the physique cam video launched by Jon Bravo Movies simply hours in the past .
OK, so for starters, the video reveals us completely all the things there may be to see concerning the scene after the actual fact. Again on New Yr’s Day. I had made point out that once we received the physique cam footage we might have the entire info we wanted to grasp what actually occurred. Furthermore,.I feel that if we will get dashcam video, we will additionally hearken to the reflections of every member of regulation enforcement on the subject of the knowledge introduced by the defendant and the sufferer. That being mentioned, on New Yr’s Day, all people was going by what the proprietor of Elev8tion Health, Angel Bajeda, was saying on the StrengthAddicts Instagram web page. Bajeda was so convincing he was even capable of persuade highly-respected members of our neighborhood like Marc Lobliner and Chris McKenzie. Bajeda insisted that Wes acted in self-defense and that the police noticed the video and noticed no downside with it. These are LIES!! He even said he would repeat these LIES in courtroom, saying “I understand how this works.”
Now, after we now have the charging info from the State of Florida, the police report, and the bodycam footage, we all know that all the things that the proprietor of Elev8tion Health mentioned on the StrengthAddicts Instagram and later informed Jon for his video, was an entire lie. Not solely that, however if you wish to dig deeper, let’s do it!
Throughout the video, a employees member of the gymnasium sporting an Elev8tion T-shirt and speaking to somebody on a cellular phone, approached one of many regulation enforcement officers asking them to instruct the sufferer to erase the footage from his telephone. The officer informed them that he was not going to try this. Then the gymnasium affiliate requested the officer if he may ask the sufferer as a substitute of telling him to erase the footage. The regulation enforcement officer wouldn’t adjust to that request, both. And what’s fascinating is that later within the bodycam footage, one of many cops is heard saying “did a supervisor kick the sufferer on the ground?”
That is very damaging for the gymnasium by way of legal responsibility as a result of not solely did they know that one thing like this might occur and didn’t cease it, but when their very own supervisor was concerned within the leaping, then they’re on the hook way over I initially thought. And it’s wild to me that anybody would ask a regulation enforcement officer – on video no much less – to destroy proof of against the law. That’s precisely what Elev8tion Fitnwess was making an attempt to do. And it’s ALL captured on video.
What can also be caught on video is simply how uncontrolled Wes Watson was. He even requested one of many regulation enforcement officers if that they had ever had a gun pointed at them. That’s completely insane and completely unacceptable. In one other occasion, Watson yelled at a feminine police officer, stating that he was well-known. The best way that Wes mentioned it made it, appeared like he thought the girl was a dolt. The gun query was a pitiful try at making himself appear robust whereas exhibiting clearly diva-like qualities. He additionally demanded that the officers put issues of their experiences that merely didn’t occur. His co-defendants additionally tried to say that they didn’t make contact regardless that officers disagreed and pointed to video proof. There have been plenty of lies informed by Watson and his.co-defendants. Finally, when Wes figured that he couldn’t win over the cops along with his self protection bullshit, he even instructed that he could be associates with the sufferer as long as he wouldn’t press prices.
The cops on their finish did a unbelievable job. At first I believed perhaps they have been serving to Wes concoct a protection or perhaps didn’t take the crime severely sufficient. However what they have been actually doing was enjoying good cop, unhealthy cop. It was like Jekyll and Hyde. You had one officer chortle at Wes’s joke concerning the sufferer having “lengthy girly hair,” whereas in one other occasion you had a regulation enforcement officer saying that he didn’t assume something prison was going to return out of this incident. On the identical time, they have been very adamant concerning the tremendous line between self-defense and extreme pressure. Wes insisted that he didn’t care concerning the tremendous line and that the subsequent time he was going to kill somebody. All of that is documented. It’s not taken out of context, It’s not edited. It’s word-for-word what the person mentioned. And that’s going to have an terrible unhealthy stink if he decides to take this case to trial. As a result of whereas he was not Mirandized, he was additionally not underneath arrest. He was talking freely, all of the whereas understanding that members of regulation enforcement have been videotaping and audio recording all the things he mentioned. His lawyer can have one heck of a tough time excluding any of this proof. However even when they do handle to get it excluded. It may nonetheless be used to question any assertion made by any of the defendants. So if Wes mentioned “I by no means mentioned I’d kill somebody,” the video proof could possibly be used to question him. In any occasion, like I mentioned, Wes was talking freely and now can not argue that that is fruit of the toxic tree. And whereas this proof could also be prejudicial, it’s much more probative in nature. No matter he mentioned throughout that 30 minute dialog on the gymnasium goes to return in.
What I additionally discovered fascinating was how the entire challenge of the gun got here up when Wes realized that his ironclad self-defense story was not being purchased by the cops. He then instructed that in Florida sheriffs all the time say that if somebody breaks into your private home to shoot him on sight. From there, he used that tangent to bridge over to his worry that the sufferer had a firearm. He didn’t make any point out of that till a couple of good quarter-hour into the dialog. And solely then did he make point out of it when he noticed that the officers weren’t believing his ridiculous self-defense claims. I feel one factor that made them activate him in that protection was that after they spoke concerning the tremendous line between self-defense and extreme pressure, Wes mentioned that he would maintain hitting an individual till they stopped shifting. That proper there may be pure assault and battery. I feel Wes began to get determined with what he informed the officers after which began relying closely on the firearm angle. He even insisted that the officers embrace that of their experiences. You’ll be able to see how panicked and annoyed Wes was as a result of for all of his mumbo jumbo on his self enchancment movies speaking about calmness and never being a melodramatic bitch, that’s precisely what he was when he was speaking to those officers. They usually didn’t consider a phrase he was saying.
Actually, I feel he thought he was going to get arrested proper then and there as a result of on a number of events he requested “the place can we go from right here?” And the identical factor along with his co-defendants. They have been very enthusiastic about understanding if they might go away, as a result of I feel they suspected they have been all going to get arrested. Now we all know that Wes has been arrested and charged, however we aren’t clear on his co-defendants.
And one final level I wish to make is the truth that the sufferer was noticeably.Injured. And why do I say noticeably as a substitute of visibly? As a result of whereas he was bodily injured, he appeared to undergo from signs of a concussion or presumably a TBI, or traumatic mind harm. And we additionally heard the officers speak about the potential for a mind bleed. This man took an terrible lot of abuse. And each time he requested for the ambulance, each time he requested to go to the fireplace division, each time he sounded crazy when he was answering fundamental questions – these are all indicators of a mind harm.
I wish to give enormous kudos to my good pal Jon Bravo of Jon Bravo Movies, as a result of it was via his effort and time that he was capable of get hold of all of this proof. Anyone may have gotten – finally – however not as quick as he did.He actually labored onerous to get us this content material. It’s unfair and dishonest, in my view, for individuals to RIP off his content material and never a lot as give him credit score and even ask for permission. I feel individuals ought to exit and get their very own content material. What I love to do, nonetheless, is give a response. I did a 14 or 15 minute response for StrengthAddicts and I’m additionally writing this text for Iron Journal. As soon as once more, main kudos to Jon, in addition to BallerBusters.
