Documents also show Yusuf was identified on Ring camera and audio behind his house telling someone he was driving "55mph," several admissions he made in his social media feeds, including searches for "hit-and-run death of cyclist," "how long does marijuana (weed) stay in your system?" and links to news articles on this specific event.

Yusuf addressed the court and Mason's widow and said what he did was wrong and that he was sorry.
