UPDATE 3 (5/30): Troy Ave pleads not guilty, denied bail.
"What really happened here is Mr. Collins here is the real victim," Ave's lawyer Scott Leemon said. "The person who was killed at this event, he died a hero. He (McPhatter) was his bodyguard. He wasn't shot by Mr. Collins. He was a lifelong friend. This 11 seconds of video that the NYPD released, it doesn't say what happened before, it doesn't say what happened after. The scientific evidence will show he didn't shoot himself. This was another rush to judgement. In this case he's the victim and should be treated like the victim."
