The prosecutor in the case used the phrase "monkeyed around" while talking about the famous defendants.
The prosecutor was trying to make a point that Jussie kept a rope around his neck for a long time until police showed up. He told the jury that Jussie was using the rope.
Several of Jussie's family shook their heads in disgust when they heard the phrase. The jury heard and saw all of this, and it didn't help the prosecution's case.
This isn't the first time the prosecutor has been reprimanded. Jussie called him out in court for using the full n-word and reading some of his texts. The prosecutor had Jussie read the texts.
The jury is considering the case.
