When we got back from lunch, the translator had arrived and we finally got to hear what the defendant say happen instead of just listening to the police officers point of view of showing up after the fact.
The defendant started to describe the event by saying that he got off work at Home Depot and went to the park in the front of his building to sit outside and smoke a cigarette to relax after work. As he was sitting on a bench outside, the victim approached and started to break down marijuana to role into a joint and smoke. The defendant asked the victim to please go somewhere else and do that because he does not like the smell of the marijuana. The victim said that he would not leave and told the defendant that if he did not like it
