“Ladies and gentlemen, this is New York. It’s 12:00. Who says ‘what’s going on?’ With good intentions for you?” Creole’s attorney, Scott Celestine, told the jury, “The fear for his life was reasonable.”
Celestine also said that Jolie died in hospital from a dose of the sedative benzodiazepine instead of a knife.
