“It's a very tough case to defend. So maybe you find a juror that believes in these types of conspiracy theories because the prosecution needs a unanimous jury.”
Attorney Steve Sadow says it’s a “good strategy” for Padilla to raise reasonable doubt. “Being able to say ‘some other dude did it,’ that’s a big deal. He has a kernel of fact because the decedent says, ‘If I’m killed, Drake did it.’ So it’s not as if it’s just totally made up. He’s got a little something there that he can use to support his position, which is, to be honest with you, a lot more than we have most of the time.
Graham was specifically called for a pretrial discovery deposition, and Sadow notes that Florida is one of the few states that allows such depositions for criminal cases . The Atlanta-based attorney, who most recently represented rapper Gunna, says that “you could never force someone to go under oath in a deposition in a Georgia criminal case.
“The warrant is good for the state of Florida, but no other state is going to enforce it unless you go to the state where Drake is living or he happens to be in, and you ask a judge in that state to also issue a warrant,” Rahmani says. “Let’s say he lives in California, and prosecutors go ask a California judge to issue an arrest warrant because he hasn’t appeared in a Florida case. One, that’s going to take a long time, and the case is ongoing.
