Ellison also stood there with a gun.
Im pleading with him, said Hernandez, who started to choke up on the stand.
Im like, Bro, I gave you everything.
I put money in your pocket.
Hernandezs pleas fell on deaf ears, he alleged.
They told me to get into the car before they shoot me, Hernandez alleged.
Hernandez complied and climbed into the back of their car.
Rivera was following behind them, calling OnStar in a panic.
I need you to call the police, Rivera told the operator.
My brother has been kidnapped!
Ellison and Sha managed to lose Rivera.
At one point, both men got out of the car.
Sha pulled Hernandez out.
Sha had me pinned down by the hair, Hernandez said.
He just kept hitting me on my face.
They told Hernandez to say not Billy a way of saying he wasnt part of Nine Trey.
I said it three times, Hernandez claimed.
Sha wasnt satisfied, it seemed.
He kept repeating, We should do this na, Hernandez said.
Youre right, Ellison allegedly replied.
Nobodys ever gonna know, this is a stolie anyway.
A stolen vehicle, Hernandez explained.
Harv allegedly asked, Yo, what you got?
He told Harv that he didnt have any jewelry on him.
We came to an agreement, if I gave [them] jewelry, they would let me go.
Sha met her downstairs.
(The mane of this pony was made out of Hernandezs own rainbow hair.)
Get out the car, Harv allegedly said.
I said, No, because if I get out the car, youll shoot me in the back.
After they went back and forth about getting shot, Hernandez darted out.
I just took my chances and ran.
Hernandez hurried down the street.
He reached for the handle of a car.
The backdoor opened and he got in.
What the fk na, get the fk out of my car, Hernandez recalled the driver saying.
Shut up Im about to die!
I was like, Bro, you gotta relax, at this point, just drive.
Then Hernandez noticed: The car right behind them was Ellisons.
Do not turn your blinkers on!
Hernandez told the driver.
I told him to drop me off at the precinct.
Hernandez eventually wound up at Kings County Hospital.
When he returned home later that night, Jordan brought him a big assault rifle.
Do you recognize this?
the prosecutor asked, showing a large black gun wrapped in plastic.
Yes, Hernandez said, its the assault rifle Shotti brought.
The gun was taken out of its plastic.
Ellisons lawyer has contended that the kidnapping is a hoax concocted by Hernandez to get more attention.
Hernandez returns to the stand on Thursday.
