[Unidentified Female:] Let him go. Let him go. Let him go. Let him go. You put him in a headlock. You put him in a headlock. You put him in a headlock, I saw it. Don`t touch me. I saw you put him in a headlock.
[Velez-mitchell:] There you see it. Pandemonium erupts outside the court. Trial fans started lining up for today`s seats at about 8 p.m. last night. And then, at about 5 a.m. this morning, two men tried to cut in line, and complete mayhem erupted. You saw it right there. And nobody was arrested, but cops gave out four trespass warnings. This is not the first fisticuffs we`ve seen in this ticket line. What the heck is going on? They`ve gotten so out of hand, the court decided actually to change the rules as of now. People are now asked to line up for tickets the day before in order to get into the next day`s court session to avoid this kind of mayhem. See that guy with the neck brace? He manages to get into court every single time. I`ve seen him. This trial practically has people foaming at the mouth. I`m trying to figure out what`s go on. And we`re very lucky to have one of the folks who was involved in the brawl that happened in the predawn hours with us on the phone, Dustin. You were in the fight outside court. We`re going to show video of it again and ask you to describe what exactly happened, Dustin.
[Dustin Ballard, Caught Up In Pre-dawn Brawl:] Well my girlfriend and I and our two friends had been waiting in line since 6 p.m. yesterday. We got to around 5:30 in the morning. They do ask us to move on to state property. And they asked us to line up in a two-by-two orderly fashion. We noticed around 5:25, 5:20 in the morning that there was a group of a small group of people that was standing outside of the line. They did not have the numbers written on their hands, and they basically said that the numbers don`t mean anything and they were going to cut people. When the officers asked us to start walking single file, we were walking, and then somehow this group of people broke through. And they got they were basically right next to me, but hadn`t pushed me out of the way, as of yet. When we got to the roped off area, which is very narrow, and it only allows two people to go through at a time, I was trying to allow the women who had numbers lower than mine my number was 11 I was trying to allow the women to go in before me so that they would have their spots in line that we had all waited for. Well, as I`m holding the like the pole to hold the rope up, as I`m holding it to the side, that was against the wall, and there was a large gentleman in a red-and-white shirt who had pushed that pole out of the way and then pushed me forward into the women as they were passing through the...
[Velez-mitchell:] So basically you`re saying that this erupted because of some people tried to cut in line, allegedly. But why the ferocious nature of this? Why are people so worked up that this is coming to fisticuffs?
[Ballard:] I really don`t know, you know. My girlfriend and I were involved in, I think it was on June 10, of day 15, we were also involved in that line-cutting incident. And, you know, we`ve been going there all night. We just don`t want people to cut in front of us. You know...
[Velez-mitchell:] Why are you there? Why are you on line, Dustin? Why are you on line?
[Ballard:] In line?
[Velez-mitchell:] Why are you on this line? Why are you standing in line to see this trial?
[Ballard:] Oh, oh, oh, it is a local event. You know, it intrigues us.
