CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In 2016, shots were fired in uptown Charlotte while thousands were on the streets protesting the officer-involved shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott.
Prosecutors say Rayquan Borum shot and killed a protester during the chaos. He's charged with first degree murder.
Monday, new details were released from his interview with police and the calls he made from behind bars.
Two detectives asked Borum about what happened on the night. Borum told detectives that he was at a hotel when the shooting happened. When asked if he shot someone he said to officers, "Naw show me proof."
At one time he asked for a lawyer but then he kept talking, telling detectives that he did have a gun and got rid of it.
Judge Gregory Hayes said the actions of the detectives here went right up to the line of possibly violating Borum's Miranda Rights.
In what may be even more damaging to his case, a series of phone calls he made from the Mecklenburg County Jail were released.
In one of the calls he tells someone, "It's over with for me" then goes on to say "got us all through uptown."
On another call, he says to someone, "They show me pointing a gun."
And on yet another call, he seems to lament his statements to police but tells the person he's speaking to "you can switch it up when you get a lawyer."
According to the judge, Borum's attorneys had made several errors in their case as well.
The judge ruled the video can be heard in court once the jury is seated.
