A recorded interview with Yella Beezy plays near the start of the prosecution's closing argument. The prosecutor uses his remarks about not walking away from conflict to frame the state's case, before turning to the central legal question: whether a killing involved payment or a promise of payment.

FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth's upload, "State gives closing arguments in Yella Beezy trial | FULL", shows the prosecution's final appeal to jurors in the trial of the rapper, whose name is Markies Conway. He is accused in the fatal shooting of Melvin Noble, known as MO3, on Interstate 35.

The prosecutor explains that the capital murder charge requires murder plus remuneration, or its promise. She asks jurors to apply common sense when assessing reasonable doubt and addresses a cooperating witness's hope of receiving a benefit for his testimony.

The presentation moves through highway footage, messages and a music video. Near the end, the prosecutor argues that the killing would not have been carried out without an expectation of payment, then asks the jury to find Conway guilty. These are the state's closing arguments, not a verdict.

The recording drew about 25,000 views in seven hours, already several times the channel's usual full first-day audience for regular videos. FOX 4's subsequent report says closing arguments have concluded and jury deliberations are due to begin Wednesday. Conway faces up to life in prison if convicted.
