And where did you grow up? >> In Dallas. >> What part of Dallas? >> Oh, Cle. >> And um, did you go to high school? >> Yes. >> Where did you go to high school? >> Langster.

Lancaster. Okay. Now, you said you're from Oakliff, but you went to Lancaster High School. Explain that. How did that happen? >> Um, my um father, well, first I went to elementary school in No Cliff at Harbor Elementary. Then I went to a bad store that all to No Cliff. Then my father transferred me to Lanc to play sports and try to get away from the neighborhood. >> Okay. And you said to try to get away from the neighborhood. >> So is it fair to say that your family was still living in Oakliff although you were in school at Lancaster? >> Yeah, my grandmother lived in Oakliff.

My mama stayed at Lancaster. >> Okay. Um and did you graduate from Lancaster High School? >> What year did you graduate? >> 2011. >> Now Mr. Bradley, um you have been subpoenaed to be here. Is that correct? >> Yes. >> However, is it fair to say that you were are willing to be here? >> No, not really. >> Not really. Okay. All right. So, you understand that you are under a subpoena here. Is that correct? >> Yes. >> You understand that you are under oath.

Is that right? >> Yes. >> And you um understand that you have to tell the truth. Is that right? >> Yes. >> Now, um do you know the defendant he white? >> Yes. How do you know them? >> We grew up together as cousins. >> As cousins. When you say cousins, do you mean blood cousins or just play cousins? >> Play cousins. Cuz >> tell the jury what play cousins mean. >> Basically, when you grew up with someone that's not your blood relative, >> but we grew up as family. >> And y'all basically refer to each other as cousins. >> Yes, ma'am.

And when you say you've known him a long time, um, how old were you when you first met Kan? >> I can't really say. I was young though. We was all young. He was young. He was still a little kid. >> Okay. And it's fair to say that you're older than him. Is that right? >> Yes. >> Um, do you know about how many years older? Um I say probably approximately like five six years maybe. >> Do you see Kiwan here in court today? >> Yes. >> And if I'm seated in seat two, my co-consel is in one.

What seat would he be in? >> The fifth seat. >> In the fifth seat. Judge, I would ask that the record reflect that the witness has identified the defendant in open court. >> The record will reflect this fact. Now, with you all growing up in Oakliff, um, did you all hang out a lot? >> Yeah, we had a chance to. >> All right. Now, did Kiwan go to Lancaster High School with you? >> No. >> Okay. Um, as far as you are about how many grades above you, do you know? >> About exactly.

Would you all see each other often as kids? >> Yeah. >> Would you all see each other when you got older? >> Yeah. Yes. >> All right. Now, um, have you played a role in Kiwan's life? >> I would say I did. >> Okay. If so, how? as a as a big cousin, as a big brother, really. [clears throat] I looked out for him whenever he needed anything or in that type of way. >> And Mr. Bradley, even though you're in federal custody and I know you don't necessarily want to be here, um, do you care about? >> Yeah.

Yes, ma'am. >> And have you continued to care about him? >> Yes, ma'am. Now, this jury understands that you're in federal custody facing drug conspiracy charges. What is the state of those charges? >> Can you elaborate a little bit? >> Let me ask you a different way. I'm sorry. Uh, have you pled guilty to those charges? >> Um, no. I done signed, but I haven't physically plead guilty. And when you're saying sign, so this jury understands, you have signed a plea agreement um to plead guilty.

Is that fair? >> Yes. Yes, ma'am. >> All right. Um so you have not actually entered your plea, basically stood in front of a judge and said, "I am guilty of this offense." But that is your full hopes. Is that fair? >> Yes, ma'am. >> All right. Um so therefore, you have not been sentenced yet. Is that correct? >> No, ma'am. Um, but what is your understanding as it relates to the paperwork that has been submitted? >> Which paperwork? >> Uh, the plea agreement.

Has that been submitted? >> Yes, ma'am. >> What about the factual resume? >> Yes, ma'am. >> All right. And a plea agreement supplement? >> Yes, ma'am. >> All right. Now, the jury may not understand what all of those things mean, but we're going to kind of break that down. Is that okay? >> Yes. >> What's your understanding of the plea agreement? >> That if I plead guilty to those two counts, that's what I'm going to be charged with. >> Okay.

And just so the juryy's clear, you said plead guilty to those two counts. The first count is the drug conspiracy. Is that right? >> Yes, ma'am. >> The second count is for uh the guns associated with that case. Is that correct? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Um, and then we also mentioned a factual resume. What is that? >> Uh, the factual resume is facts pertain to my case >> within my case. >> Now, whenever you're doing or whenever a factual resume is done, you all have the you and your attorney who is also present here in court.

Is that correct? >> Yes. >> You all have an opportunity to look at the facts that have been alleged. Is that right? >> Yes, ma'am. And with those facts being alleged, sometimes you all make amendments to those. Is that right? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, that's a factual resume. And then the third thing we talked about was a plea agreement supplement. Has that been entered in your case? Was that filed in your case? >> I believe so. >> Okay.

And you say you believe so. Tell me why. >> I mean, it's all part of the process. >> Okay. All right. Now, initially when you all um entered into a plea agreement supplement, it was not a cooperator agreement. Is that fair? >> Yes. >> All right. And since um back in July, because we've met before, is that correct? >> Yes, ma'am. >> We've met on two prior occasions. Is that is that correct? >> Yes, ma'am. >> All right.

And that was back in July. July 10th, I believe. Is that what you remember? >> Yes. And then we met again August 14th. Is that correct? >> Yes. >> Now, um, back in July of 2026, just so we're clear, July 10th of 2026, um, you met at the, um, Northern District of Texas US Attorney's Office. Is that correct? >> Yes. >> With your attorney present. >> Yes, ma'am. >> And there were several other people present. Is that right? >> Yes, ma'am.

Now when we are talking about we call those propers. Is that right? >> Yes. >> Explain to the jury what a proper is. >> A profer from my understanding is when you come sit down and you basically give information to the government. That's basically what a profer is. >> Okay. And um as far as the proper goes, you gave a proper um with myself and the US attorney's office. Is that correct? >> Yes. >> And that was in July of this year, 2026.

Is that fair? >> Yes. >> Now, prior to meeting me in July of 2026, had you done any additional propers with the US Attorney's Office? No, I don't think so. >> Okay. And I want to break that down because have you met with the government prior to um July of 2026? >> You saying after we met? >> No, before. I'm sorry. >> Oh, before. Yes. >> Okay. Um and Mr. Bradley, I want to be very clear to this jury. Um you are not receiving any benefit from the state of Texas um to be here today.

Is that correct? Correct. >> Um, in fact, you have not received uh any benefit from the US attorney's office to be here today. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> What is your understanding of what potentially could happen based off of your testimony here today? >> Um, as long as I'm truthful and honest with the court today, um, they could put in a recommendation that I can get a sentence reduction. >> Okay. >> Hopefully. >> So, you said they can put in a recommendation.

Who is that? >> Um, the government. The >> I can use her name. >> No, don't use her name. >> Okay. >> U, but when you say the government, a uh assistant United States attorney, is that correct? >> Correct. >> All right. Um, because there's federal agencies and state agencies. Is that your understanding? >> Right. >> All right. And your charges are federal charges. Is that correct? >> Yes. And so when you're saying the person could put in a recommendation, you understand that that still may not go the way you wanted to.

Is that fair? >> Yes. >> But you are hoping that it does go well for you. >> Yes. >> What else are you hoping? >> I want you to be honest with the people. What are you hoping for? >> I'm hoping I can go home, get to my family. Okay. >> Yeah. >> And hence the reason why you came forward with um information. Is that fair? >> Yes. >> But prior to you and I meeting in July of 2026, um had you met with the government? And when I'm saying government, I mean the federal government. >> Yes. >> All right.

I have. >> How many occasions, if you know, had you met with the federal government? three times and then one time with you. So they make four. >> Okay. Um and we'll say state government for me. Is that right? >> Right. >> All right. So three times prior to now um when you first met with the federal government, that would have been back in 2023. >> Yes. >> What was the purpose of that meeting? My purpose was to go and talk about my pro my role in the drug conspiracy, but when I got there that wasn't what they was talking about. >> Okay.

And when you say when you got there, that wasn't what they were talking about. What do you mean? >> I mean, we didn't talk about nothing drug related. All we talked about was murders. >> Okay. And so at that point, did you provide any information to the government back in 2023 when you first met? No. >> Okay. Why not? >> Because I was sticking to the to the code of the streets. Really? I wasn't really willing to cooperate. >> All right.

And what's the code of the streets? >> Don't talk about what you know. >> All right. And why wouldn't you talk about what you know? >> I mean, it bring potential danger to me, my family, and everybody else. So, >> Okay. And so that was the first time that you met with the government. Correct. >> Correct. >> Now, what about the second time you met with the government? >> The second time I met with the government, they we did a reverse prof. >> What's a reverse profer? >> A reverse profer is when they when the government provide evidence that they have.

I guess like a presentation they show you of evidence that they have. And um so let me make sure I understand. It's not them asking you for information. It's them showing you what what information or evidence they have on you. Is that fair? >> Correct. >> All right. And so at that time, did you provide any information to the government? >> Um no ma'am. >> Okay. Why not? Well, at the time I really didn't have to say nothing, but then they were showing Rico indictments with my name on it and other people name on it and I wasn't trying to get into that.

I didn't know if it was safe for me to speak on anything at that time. >> Okay. When you said RICO indictments, what does that mean to you? >> My life was online at that time. >> Okay. And so at that point, you still didn't give any information? No. >> All right. Now, the third time that you met with the government, that would have been in um September of 2024. Does that sound right? >> Say about right. >> Okay. So, at some point later part of 2024, is that correct? >> Right. >> Um did you provide any information at that property?

Well, that prophet was mainly about the structure that they were trying to figure out a structure and about jury chains and things that we had. That was really all that was about. >> Okay. So, at this third property, you talked to the government about the structure, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. Now, the the jury doesn't know anything about the structure. When we're talking about structure, structure of what organization? like we're trying to figure out the structure of I guess how we ran GRC basically. >> Okay.

What is GRC? >> What does that stand for? >> Get rich cartel. >> I'm sorry. Say that again. >> Get rich cartel. >> All right. And get rich cartel. Um was this a click or what was this? What is this? >> I mean it started off as a a rap group. >> Okay. And then it just really turned to us just really, you know, a bunch of friends hanging and kicking it, I guess. Basically, >> where did GRC or get rich cartel originate from? >> Um, it started in Langston when we first started rapping. >> When you say started in Lancaster, when we first started rapping, who who were the original members of GRC?

Uh, it was me, Jerry, Theodore, Devin, and Fat Lear. We was doing rapping. Started rapping. >> And those were the original people who started GRC. Is that correct? >> Yeah, you can say that. Yes. >> Well, you tell me. I wasn't there. Who started it? Um, I mean, we basically all started. We We came up with it at the studio. >> Who came up with the name? >> I can't really recall who came up with the name. We all did. >> All right. >> May I approach?

Do you recognize all four of those photos? >> Yes. >> Who is in states exhibit 103A? >> Miss Deon. And this is Devin Brown.

Specifically, I want to talk about November 11th with which this jury is here, um, for in which Melvin Noble was killed.

Where were you at the time? >> I was incarcerated in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Okay. Um, when did you go into Tuscaloosa? >> I don't remember the exact date. It was November though, but I don't remember the exact date. >> And Mr. Bradley, even though you sit here um facing federal charges, this is not your first time to be in trouble. Is that fair? >> Correct. >> All right. In fact, you've been in trouble u quite a few times with the law.

Is that right? >> Correct. >> Um and you were currently and [clears throat] you were placed on deferred back in December of 2020 on that case. >> Correct. >> Or excuse me on two cases. Is that right? >> Correct. Um and so ultimately you have a motion to revoke those cases pending um currently. Is that right? >> Yes. >> Now I clearly am not a Kaufman County prosecutor. Um and I have not made you any deals or benefits towards any of those cases.

Is that correct? >> Correct. But you would be not being honest if you didn't tell this jury that you have hopes that these things work out in your favor. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> All right. Um and so those cases are currently pending right now regardless of what happens with it with your federal case. Is that fair? >> Yes. >> All right. But back in November of 2020, you were actually in um you said Tuscaloosa.

Is that correct? >> Yes, >> your honor. At this time, the state will offer state exhibit um 8:32, a state's notice of intent to use business records affidavit, which was uh filed on August 10th of 2026, as well as state exhibit 833, which is the booking detail for Mr. Bradley of his um Alabama Tuscaloosa um jail records. >> Uh no, no objection. >> Thank you.

And uh did you have charges pending there? >> Yes. >> And in fact, on states exhibit 833, we see that the charges are for possession of marijuana. Is that correct? >> Correct. Now, were you placed on probation for this offense? >> Yes. >> Okay. And um when did you get out of uh Tuscaloosa? >> Um I want say like November 12th if I'm not mistaken. >> In fact, it says uh November 12th at 9:01 a.m.

Is that right? >> Correct. >> All right. So, we know that Melvin Noble was killed on November 11th. Um, and but you were in Tuscaloosa, Alabama from November 5th until uh November 12th. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> And when you got out of um jail in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, um did you come back to the Dallas Fort Worth area? >> Yes. >> How did you get back to the Dallas Fort Worth area? >> I think I drove back. >> Okay.

Yes. >> Now, um, who picked you up? >> I want to say my mother did. >> Okay. >> My mother did. >> Um, and when you got back to Dallas, um, would you all hang out in certain places? >> Yes. >> All right. Where would you hang out? one location we'll be at um Jerry Barershop and at that time we was hanging out at 3030 Britain. >> Okay. And when you say Jerry's Barberhop um that would have been at 3432 Sunnyville, is that correct? >> Correct. >> And that's in Dallas. >> Correct.

And when we're talking about um you mentioned 3030 Britain or 34 32 Sunny Bell, uh the barberh shop, those are in the Oakliff area of Dallas. Is that right? >> Correct. >> Um at 3030 Britain. Um would you guys hang out there quite a bit? >> I did. >> Okay. What about 3915 Ramon Ramona? Does that ring a bell? Yes. >> All right. Would you as well as the defendant hang out at any of those spots? Either Britain or Ramona? >> I might catch him at Ramona. >> When you say you may catch him at Ramona. >> Yeah. >> You're talking about the defendant Kiwan. >> Yes. >> Um Mr.

Bradley, what was going on at Britain Ramona, the barber shop, these addresses? What was happening there outside of just meetup spots? [ __ ] We were selling drugs. >> Okay. So, y'all were selling drugs at Britain, Ramona, Barberh Shop, all of those things. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> And it's fair to say that there were also some other addresses where um there were shops. Is that right? >> Correct. >> It was, and I don't want to underestimate this, but this was a large operation.

Is that fair to say? I mean I guess so. >> Okay. Um now um when you got back to Dallas, did you go to Britain in which you stated you all used to hang out? >> Yes. >> Do you remember going back there? Who would have been at Britain? Who hung out there? Uh mainly Devin, but when I got back it was Devon was there. He had some other people that I don't really know. And then I had uh Jerry had pulled up on me, too. >> Okay.

Um and when you say pulled up on me, what does that mean to the jury? >> That mean he came over to the house. >> Okay. All right. I know what that means, but I want to make sure that it's clear. All right. Um, so they came over to Britain and um, anything significant about after you got out of jail? >> What you mean? >> Um, did anything happen at Britain at the Britain address? Did y'all just hang out and go on about your business? >> Yeah, I mean um, when I pulled up or whatever, they they came.

I think Deon handed me some money. Jerry gave me some money from just getting out and that was it. I had my um my girl come get me and I went on. >> Okay. You said Jerry gave you the money and Deon gave you the money. >> Yeah. >> Did you not have any money? >> Not on me at the time. >> All right. Why would they just give you money? >> That's what you That's what we do when you know somebody got out of jail. Look out for them. >> Okay.

So they just gave you money at um once you got out of jail, >> right? >> Kind of as a return return home, >> right? >> Okay. Now, um and you stated that you went home, >> right, >> with your girl, >> right? >> What part of town were you living in at that time? >> Grandparent. >> Okay. Um do you remember after you got out of jail? So, you got out of jail November 12th. Do you remember at any point um meeting up or having conversations with Kiwan? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay.

Um do you know exactly when that was? >> I can't remember the exact day. >> Okay. Um do you remember where you were? >> Yes, ma'am. >> But it would have been after you got out of Tuscaloosa. >> Right. >> All right. Um, and where were you? >> I was on a house I had on Fernwood. >> Okay. Um, and what do you remember about seeing or meeting up with um the defendant? >> I was on Fernwood. It was probably around like 1 to 2 o'clock and I was there by myself or whatever and he had end up pulling up knocking on the door.

So when he pulled up I opened the door since I knew it was him or whatever. And after that he was like he asked me was I good? Did I need anything normal routine? He said he just seen my car and pulled up to check on me or whatever. So I told him I was good or whatever that I ain't need nothing that I just made it to the neighborhood or whatever. So after that he had asked me for some some weed to smoke. I gave him some weed or whatever.

He sat down and when he sat down on the couch I had a u ap. >> Okay. What's a ARP? >> It's a AR pistol. It's a gun. >> Okay. And so you had a ARP on on the couch. And then um what happened with with that gun? >> We was just sitting there talking or whatever and I was telling him that I had just got it or whatever and I liked how smile and what it had on it and he good with gun so he would mess with it. He was like it was it's pretty small but it's not smaller than my little Draco I had. >> Okay. >> So, >> and you said it's not smaller than the Draco he had. >> Yeah. >> All right.

And did the conversation continue? Yeah, we finished talking. >> And what what what else um did you all continue to talk about? >> So he was like it was smaller than the Draco he had or whatever. And he was just like whenever he get his money he was going to get him another one. So then from there he was kind of excited. So I'm like like [ __ ] what money you talking about? Like he was like oh you don't know do you? Hell no.

I don't know what you're talking about. He was like, "I was the one did that work on that rap [ __ ] on the freeway." I'm like, "How the hell? How you do that on the freeway?" Then that's when he broke down and told me that he had pulled up on side of him or whatever, rolled down the window, shot the gun at the car. Said that's when the car stopped or and then Buddy hopped out. Said when he hopped out, he already figured that he had him.

So he jumped out, fired a couple shots at him. So buddy took off running, chased him down, fired some more shots. He was like when he shot him, he knew he he was like when he fired a couple more shots, he looked like he shot him in the ass or something. That's when Buddy Field stood over, shot him some more, and got away. So after that, I tell him, I'm like, "Damn, you did all that on the freeway or whatever. You ain't got no money." He was like, "Shit." He wasn't tripping.

I went tripping on the money or whatever. So after that I tell him like that ain't how it's supposed to go. [ __ ] if you going to get out and do some work you need to get paid at least some of half of some I would just object to the narrative. I can ask question. >> Um now Mr. Bradley I I actually want to go back. Um, you stated that and and I [clears throat] quote, um, that there was a conversation between you and the defendant.

Is that correct? >> Correct. >> And he mentioned that he had done that work um on the rap [ __ ] on the freeway. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> When you say work, what does that mean? >> I'm going to object to speculation of what that means, your honor. if he knows >> if you know if you don't know. >> I mean sound like you saying he killed him. >> Speculation. >> I'm sorry. You can answer that. >> I said it sound like they mean he killed him to me.

That's what it sound like. >> Okay. And were you aware of Mo three being murdered on the freeway? Is that correct? >> Yes. >> Um and So, did your mind immediately go to that? >> What you mean? >> Did you as soon as he said that, did your mind go to November 11th >> with Mo three? >> That's the honor. I know that don't got killed on the freeway. >> Okay. Um, and so you said that the defendant then began to explain kind of in detail what happened.

Is that right? >> Correct. Um, and so the first part he kind of told you um how it started, how how the shooting started. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> And what did he say as far as how the shooting started? >> He just told me he rolled down the window and fired a couple shots at the car and then made the car slow down, then eventually stop. And once the car stopped, he knew he had him. So when Buddy went around to the side, other side of the car, he fired a couple more shots at him and made him take off running.

Then after that, he chased him down. He shot him. He said when he shot him, he think he shot him in the ass or something. That's when he fell, stood over, shot him, and got away. >> Okay. And so as it related to um the money portion, did he indicate that he was waiting on payment to get his money? >> Yes. >> And tried to get his money for the work that he had done. >> Correct. And when we're talking about work would be the murder of Melvin Noble Mo. >> Correct. >> Um, and what did he say he was going to do with his money when he uh after he received his money? >> He didn't really say.

He just told me. Only part I remember him saying is he was going to get him another gun. Okay, >> that's it. Um, and at that point, did you all continue to have any conversations as it related to um where the payment was coming from or who the payment was coming from? Um, after that, the only thing I remember is he had mentioned that he had to reach out to Bodega and tell Bodega to spread the word that if he ain't get his money, then one of them [ __ ] going to be next. >> Okay.

And um, who did you understand he want to be referring to? >> I'm going to object to the speculation of that. >> I'm asking who he believed. if you know if you don't know. >> Uh I don't know exactly who he was talking about, but I mean >> I'm going to object your honor if he said he does not know who he was talking about. >> And based off of that, um well, let me ask you a different way. What was Bodega and Kiwan's relationship at the time?

That was cool, I guess. >> What about Kiwan's relationship with Jerry? >> They have a strong relationship. >> And how when you say a strong relationship, describe that for me. >> I mean, Jerry will do whatever he could for him. And he called Jerry his pops. I don't know what that was, but that's a strong relationship to me. >> Okay. He would refer to Jerry. Kiwan would refer to Jerry as his pot, >> right? >> All right.

Um, do you know whether or not Kiwan and Yella had a relationship? >> Uh, I don't think so. Not for my knowledge. >> As far as Jerry and Yella, they were pretty close. Is that correct? >> Correct. >> Bodega and Jerry and Yellow were pretty pretty close. Correct. Is that fair? Correct. >> And based off of that relationship of um Kiwan wanting to reach out to Bodega, your who did you believe only you and don't speculate who did you believe that Kiwan was referring to >> and I just to object to the speculation he he's answered that question and already indicated that he didn't really know.

So, anything you would say at this point would be speculation. >> Your honor, it's a present sense impression based off of the conversations that he's having with Mr. White directly in that moment on what his belief is. >> And again, your honor, I believe the witness has answered this line of questioning and said he didn't know. So, he can't now say that he knows something. That would be speculation. your honor. And if I may just briefly, um my and >> one of you needs to be ahead. >> My um I I was trying to develop that testimony a little bit more before I asked that question prematurely.

And so I I believe that I have now asked fully that question for him to be able to answer that. >> If you know you answer the question, if you don't know, don't answer. Okay, repeat the question again. >> Okay. >> Based off of your belief, when Kiwan was talking about Bodega, who did you believe that he was referencing? >> Oh, probably uh Yella, Freddy, or whoever that's supposed to make the payment, I guess. I don't know, bro.

That's all I can think of. >> And it's fair that you don't know exactly. Okay. Exactly, your honor. um speculation. Can we approach? >> That's sustained. The witness has said that he doesn't know. >> Thank you. I'll move on. >> Oh, I'm so sorry to go ahead. >> Um [clears throat] the witness that he didn't know. Um he is speculating clearly named a bunch of names. Um and so I would ask that the court instruct the jury to disregard >> the jury will disregard uh the witness's last statement. >> And I would respectfully ask this court for a mistrial based on that.

That's denied. All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's 107. Let's take a 1 hour lunch break and be back at uh 2:15.
