Prosecutors allege that Caleb Gannon escalated tensions at a rally by verbally antagonizing pro-Israel demonstrators before physically attacking one, who was armed.
Gannon's attorney noted that Hayes, who allegedly shot Gannon, attended a peaceful rally while armed and had a history of doing so, raising concerns about his intentions.
As the altercation continued, Hayes shot Gannon during a struggle on the ground, claiming self-defense amidst their ongoing social media feud over Israel.
Gannon, hospitalized for over a month post-shooting, pleaded not guilty while his legal team highlighted his lack of a prior criminal record.
