On the night of July 23rd, 2007, Jamal Trulub was hanging out in a common area of San Francisco's

Sun-Edale projects with his younger brother Joshua. Jamal's friend, Sel Kuka, drove up and

intoxicated, ripping off the side view mirror from Joshua's car. Jamal got between Sel and his

brother. Then, gunfire in the air would send Sel into an alcohol-fueled rage in search of a gun

himself. Jamal tried to calm Sel again, who pushed him away and punched another man, frustrated,

and fed up. Jamal left the scene, only to turn in time to witness his friend Sel being

gunned down in the street. Now, since snitching is a sure far way to be sent to the same fate, Jamal

kept his mouth shut. Sel's cousin, Priscilla the Wallamaga, would go downtown to identify the

shooter she claimed to see from her second story window. Only to pass over Jamal's mugshot

that was in plain sight. Police pressured her to name Jamal so they could coerce the identity

of the shooter from him. Either he would name the killer or he'd go down for the murder

himself. Jamal would receive 50 years to life. The prosecutors' closing argument would point

to the Wallamaga's bravery in light of the supposed threat of Jamal Trulub. This comment, unsupported

by evidence that unobjected to by council would ultimately lead to a new trial in which Jamal's

new lawyers would be able to successfully argue that ballistic evidence at the autopsy report

proved that the shooter was out of the Wallamaga's second story view. Jamal was finally said

free in 2015. This is wrongful conviction with Jason Flown.

My grandmother was murdered, likely with a candlestick. I really think it's something new.

My family tried to find the killer. A psychic got involved and asked what if it was one of us?

She did this. It's my hometown's greatest mystery. There's nothing people in the

Delta Light better than a good story. From campside media and Sony music entertainment,
