This guy is a murderer they are giving him justice he only got 25 years I would of gave him life so to me they are giving him justice and being fair to him if it was me life without parole
Man he actually seemed really intelligent and collected. He reminds me of my own transformation behind bars where i cracked open my first college textbook as well. I had two more rodeos before i finally closed a twelve year sentence but i never gave up on myself. graduated, overcame a drug addiction, and now, i'm working hard on owning a home and setting up a nest egg for a retirement twenty years in the future. good luck kid.
yea on the SNY yards it happens on Gp yards to but not normally. we dont let it happen if we find out a whiteboy raped anyone we have to stick them. its politics.
Man, when I first watched this story, I couldn't believe that two 12 year olds, and a 15 year old could do something like that, but after watching this, I really hope dude gets a second chance. People make terrible decisions sometimes, mistakes happen, and out of anybody, this guy seems to know that he's done wrong, and has a good idea of what he needs to do to make his situation a better one. Mad respect to you man. Seriously, because that kind of thing happens rarely. Also, watching the story about the two 10 year olds brutally killing a 2 year old in the UK, made me think that this kids crime may not have been that bad after all. If a grown ass man is beating on you, and your mom, do what you gotta do. It all depends on the reason, but the only person that'll ever know why he made that decision, is him.
Colt cheated on his wife with a rape victim that he forced to do things that she didn't want to do. He targeted a woman that he knew had been raped before because he thought that rape victims would be "easier" and he is tired of his wife. Don't look up to this bum. He also owes a ton of people money because he is ripping people off with his "home renovation" business. He doesn't have any actual training, he just fucks up people's houses because they feel bad for him so they give him work, and he doesn't pay the people that he works with, either.
That case in the UK I know quite well. James Bulger was very very very brutally murdered by those two sobs and they were sent to a children's home from the ages of ten and eighteen. They were released and given lifelong anonymity. One of them has been jailed on multiple occasions and is currently denied parole for child abuse images. That British system is an absolute joke.

So the problem in him is corrected and once he's paid his debt to society it should be over, right? He bit the bullet and cut his loses. why then aren't there laws to protect against felon discrimination? I think the rate of recidivism would lower if felons had improved employment opportunities, even if only screened and psychologist approved felons were afforded the protection. Of course, anyone of us can find ourselves working an overnight job at Walmart. But that type of job is unfulfilling in the long run. Also, We don't have the same social structure as most western nations do. They can be discriminated against, get a job at Walmart and be ok. Americans can't, we have to worry about healthcare, an extremely expensive rental system etc. So we kind of rely on the prospect of someday getting a job that offers medical or pays enough to buy it. Walmart type jobs rarely give benefits and even if they do, there's still the matter of affording rent and everything else that's needed for a minimal standard of living. If a study was performed on a prison system to see if improved employment prospects lowered recidivism, and it yielded positive results then it would be a moral and ethical matter for society to address properly, because it would clearly show that recidivism is beyond an individual's control. Punishing people for stuff that's not their fault is wrong, regardless of a person's past.

I love Colt Lundy & rooting for him too. It's good to see how he's doing now & he's looking great. He's turned into a handsome young man & makes me so happy to see he's intelligent & trying so hard to be a fantastic person that he was meant to be. It is absolutely insane how they try kids as adults in the US. Like others have said, you change so much during that period & it's just so damn unfair. I'm proud of you Colt & will continue to check up from time to see how you're doing. You're wonderful so please don't loose sight of where you're going.

@@troymcdivitt7818 a fucking monster of a stepfather, maybe do some research on why he killed him before running your mouth about a kid trying to stop a shitty person from hurting him. You think a kid like that deserves to be in prison with serial rapists and killers, drug dealers and gang members?
I followed this story when it happened and have always thought Colt was, for the most part a good kid. I am happy that the transition from the juvenile prison to the adult one seems to have been good for him. I am still very mindful however that he not only murdered his stepfather but he involved his friends as well. He has ruined a lot of lives and this must always be considered when decisions are made. 25 years is a long time, so all in all the American Judicial System has got this one Spot on. Good luck Colt, my deepest condolences and respect to the people who will forever be damaged by his hand.

He killed a man who was abusing him and his mother. His mother failed him and society failed him by not protecting him and by putting him in prison. No, he shouldn't have involved his friends but he was TWELVE YEARS OLD, angry, afraid, and unsafe in his own home.
he is a murderer yes he made a big mistake ever yes but at the end when he did that he was a kid,did he know the consequences? No I pray to God to forgive him and we all need to forgive colt
+Frankie bon did he know the consequences???? OBVIOUSLY. He was 15, and knew the consequences. Stop trying to stick up for him, he knew what he was doing lmao.
That's the thing... a young teenager changes sooo much on a short period of time. After some years they are not the same anymore, when you become adult even your brain isn't the same anymore. That's why it's so cruel to convict young criminal offenders as an adult and for such long periods of time. It doesnt make sense.
Sure, he's a murderer. I dont deny that, it is a terrible, terrible crime that impacts many lives and sure, even a young guy who commits murder needs to undergo a punnishment. But I dont believe putting a person in jail and throw away the key is such a great solution. Maybe you can start with strict gun laws, it makes murdering less easy. When canada and australia made their gun laws more strict, the numbers went down immediatly with 30 to 65%. In the UK, police dont even wear guns, can you imagine that? In my country there are very strict gun laws and it pays, not once there was a school shooting, not once! I know its a difficult issue, but it does work, the statistics dont lie.
I just don't see how giving a 15 year old kid 25 years is helping the situation. 10 years was probably max time for a child. if they can say for 1 second his brain was fully developed and understood fully what he was doing, they're out of their mind. he's definitely not a career criminal. his step dad shouldn't have lost his life for any reason but we need to take into consideration he was murdered by a child. 25 years is just too much in my opinion.
You’re exactly correct. The brain isn’t even fully functional at 18. He most likely felt betrayed by his mother who put the drunk step-dad first. I am not at all saying what he did was justified. Clearly he made a horrible choice.
Well, when someone kills your loving husband for no real reason... might drive a good woman insane. ... or maybe she was a bad woman before all this, anyway. I don't know.
I live in the area the murder took place. When it all happened she refused all interviews and relatives have continuously said she is embarrassed and doesn't want to be known as the mom of a murderer.
@@ReezyReez3190 he did. watch here:eu.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2019/02/05/paul-gingerich-colt-lundy-12-year-old-murderer-phil-danner-what-happened/2766871002/ ..."But this time was different. Lundy will be allowed to finish his sentence out of prison starting March 15 of 2019, according to the Associated Press. He will then be put on probation."
He should of never been charged as a adult!!!! old drunk beat him and beat him and the kid came back with a gun and put a bullet in the old man's head, this should be looked at as what can happen when a parent beats their child and makes them feel terrible deep down inside , I do recall the kid saying he told everyone and even told his mom if it happens again I'll kill him
The Fishy Life ! I didn’t know his story for why he killed his Stepfather ! And if I read correctly about him being beaten and the mom probably too and she let it happen she lucky he didn’t kill her too , Abuse is abuse no matter ! All the best to him when he is released🙏🏼💙🙏🏼And me at 47 if I had gone through any kind of physical abuse ! You better believe I would of dealt with your fate.. And that judge that sentence him to 25 yrs ! You need your ass to be fucked up!!!💯
The Fishy Life ! Do really f**king Believe that shit!!A young boy that just decided to pick up s gun and shoot his clearly drunk stepfather and as for the his mother .. Mothers who blame there child they support that kind of abuse And Dude Abuse is Abuse.. His life will never be the same !!!
i hope he gets out. my gut says he was a bratty kid who really messed up. i dont feel him dangerous to anyone. and i dont mean out-out. i mean a supervised out where he will still be watched for many years. just a slow way to get this kid back into society...
Lmao are you serious? A bratty kid? He's a murderer. I had my far share of mischievous shit during my teens, but shooting someone to death is beyond forgivable. IF he did that shit as a 15 year old, what do you think he'll do as an adult?
satchel jackson If you looked further into the case you would know the step father that he killed was an angry drunk that abused his mother (and most likely him.) He shot him with THE CHILD ACCESSIBLE guns that his step father possessed. This isn't a cold blooded killer, this was a child who was subject to abuse until his breaking point. The other child involved in the case who also shot the step father was 12 at the time just trying to help his friend escape the abuse. The other child was released and created what's called "Paul's Law" to protect children who are unable to grasp some of the gravity of their actions. Nothing is black and white. I'm sorry you assumed what had happened with the little information that was given. Give the kid a break
Tavi, my stepfather who I lived with for many years was a chronic alcoholic with severe PTSD. There had been numerous occasions where I had to put my hands on him to protect my mother. Never once did I think about murdering him. This kid is a killer, and deserves to be behind bars for the rest of his life. I'm sure his stepdad was a piece of shit, however, what he did to this kid doesn't equal a death penalty. Stop making excuses for murderers.
You take another’s life you lose yours. He thought of the consequences and still went through with it and when he got butt fucked in prison by big daddy warden then he regretted killing the man who raised him. World is tough don’t do stupid shit or that shit will come right back around.
He wasn’t a bratty kid. He was a victim of the bullshit his father did to him. Although I don’t condone his killing. He told people the shit his dad was doing to him and no one would listen, not even his mother. Boy never wanted to be alone with that dead beat, and who knows what that bastard dad did to him. That boy was victimized. He killed out of being fed up, but he’s serving his time and taking responsibility for his actions. I feel sorry for him that it had to happen the way it did. He’s no monster, he got dealt a shit life and his side of the story should be looked in to before judging is placed. This kid has been making changes in his life, and behind bars, not just sitting on his ass!
I met this guy who became my friend in third grade. He’s a great person and thoughtful. When they say he doesn’t want to come back. Trust me he’s not like most that will end up back for the same crap. Hes ready to get out and get back to living a normal life
You can see that this kid is ready to be back in real life,he now has a goal,he was a child when all this happen,yes it was a very bad thing he did,he need help not prison but am glad he’s holding his head up and trying to achieve something in life,am sure he’s not alone and am sure there other kids like him in Prison,Son I wish you the best,stay focus don’t get in trouble you gonna make it out this one🙏🏾🙏🏾

At 15 most kids have messed up thoughts, many kids think that if mom or dad's present companion would die everything will go back to what it was. That is just how naive kids think. This kid and his friend acted up on the thought and are paying as adults. Think on really hurtful thoughts you or your kid had at that age and you'll see the similarity, now do you or your kid deserve to be in prison for 30 years?
He's not going to be defined by his mistake, he's living a very productive life that's going to be very resourceful in the long run and people will see it.
Well he had many chances to tell them if there was a reason. The man is dead ... shouldn’t feel like he needs to hold anything back now. And yet still nothing so he did it without reason.
Colt whilst serving his sentence and receiving the correct rehabilitation and educational programes along with a tremendous amount of his own input is showing a great deal of maturity and is turning into an articulate and thoughtful young man more than willing to accept his responsibilities. He has also accomplished to date a good education and passed his various exams on the way to accomplishing a degree. Colt was a confused fifteen year old with internal family problems and had easy access to firearms when this crime was committed. Though he has suffered a set back with his recent case review, surley this intelligent young man should be given an oppertunity in main stream society as an adult.
a thousand Im sorrys will not bring back the victim whose life he took.Then again I have done a lot of research on this and I have heard different stories,
David Magill I still don't think he should get out of prison I heard he was cruel to animals it was a sociopath I didn't have it easy growing up either everyone gave up on me including my parents but I won't get into specifics I never been in trouble with the law and I never killed anybody
David I would like to send you a private message not about Colt but about me.Look me up on Facebook Doug Chapman Columbus Ohio.My page has a photo of me wearing a route 66 t shirt.If you have a facebook page.
2:00 The book he's scanning... it's called A Dance of Dragons by George RR Martin. It's from The Game of Thrones series. Just in case anyone was wondering.
Thank goodness for the rehabilitative nature of his confinement. The length of his sentence, considering his age at the time of the crime and the way the crime was planned and committed, is cruel and unusual punishment.
The part they are not telling is, Cody did not shoot his stepfather alone. His friend who was only 12 hot him twice as well. The other young man name was Paul. Like Cody, Paul received a 25yr sentence as well, BUT his family pushed for another trial and it was said that he was too young to understand, and was released at the age of 17.
I'm familiar with this case and I feel he has a good chance on making it when he gets out. He acted on an emotion that he has never revealed why he did what he did but I am sure something drove him to do it. The guns should have never been left unlocked and loaded and in his reach. He was young and impulsive. I feel for his victims family and their loss. Hopefully someday they have closure and he is able to tell them the real reason he acted on this impulse. I've watched many documentaries on child killers and he's very different than the others. He isn't mentally disturbed or an angry person so it only makes sense that he did it for a particular reason. I know from another interview when he was younger he said several times that there were things going on that no one else knew about so I think that's a clue to why it happened but it's unfortunate that he couldn't have brought it to the attention of a counselor at school or someone outside the house things could have been so different for him but I have a feeling him and his mother were being abused so if he left he knew she would be left there to deal on her own. Anyway I see a lot of potential in him and I hope he makes it in life. He's saying prison was a good thing for him and I'm sure that's his way of reassuring himself that he's in a good spot for now and is a coping mechanism which is a good sign that he will be able to adapt to the free world when he gets out.

Is the news anchor lady the same lady that's been making documentaries about his progress through the years? In 2019 he was released and the doc. Says he's doing great being a personal trainer
But what led the kid to killing his step father. He probably just had enough can't really blame him if he was constantly going through depression from someone who is supposed to be close to you. You can only stir the pot for so long .
I wonder if his stepfather started turning his aggressive abuse into a sexual assault. That's how you break a child's spirit and aggressive alcoholics live for it.
None of you people have any evidence whatsoever for the hateful slurs you are throwing around! Kids have killed their parents for all kinds of reasons, like they wanted their money, or they wanted the house, or they wanted to do whatever they wanted without parents telling them what to do.
Only HIM, you're only speculating, you're saying, "The step-dad was doing something terrible to them because they never would have killed him otherwise." But kids as young as these HAVE killed without much or ANY provocation. What about the two 10-year-olds who killed a toddler in the UK? What about the young teenage boys who killed their grandmother with an axe to steal her money (which they spent on pizza and pot)? Look, maybe the step-dad WAS abusing them, but without any evidence at all, it's totally wrong to jump to that conclusion.
Kid was in a tough situation and made a bad decision. But he sounds very intelligent and seems respectful. I like him. Hopefully he makes the best of his life once he’s released.
In this he seems like a completely changed person from the older documentaries and interviews. I hope he gets out in 2022. A truly rehabilitated person
LLHelocopterLLOO lol I literally felt the same way when I looked into his eyes towards the end of the video. It was creepy like he literally doesn’t emote. It’s like he’s manipulating these reporters and interviewers to think he’s a changed man. But a part of me hopes he’s a better person. Idk
I'm praying so too- and to them judging these kids there is Biblical Scripture for that. "He who is without sin cast the first stone" Nobody can say they're without sin. Jesus forgives when we ask Him🙏
There's earning and trying and then there's not. Colt is earning and trying. I hope that he gets the earliest possible release and a second chance, no matter what he has done.
Also I feel like people don’t take murder seriously, you guys are saying oh people make mistakes but he killed someone, KILLED, they aren’t coming back, he ended their soul, yea he’s changed but that doesn’t change what he did or fix it, I don’t think what he did should be looked upon lightly like it’s being
wow. You have the remarkable gift of just "knowing things", don't you. Can you teach me how to know EVERYTHING and never be wrong about anything ever??
colt lunday I am really sorry that you had to have bad childhood. You were a teenage. I am learning form you. You great keep discovering your self. i hope you can read this message when you get freedom to read this message. I believe that all children deserve love.
He has done well in prison for himself, education, fitness etc to make time fly and put him ahead for his future. At the same point, he is not remorseful, hates losing his freedom and being told what to do when and having no choices. He is lucky compared to most murderers, because they may have been older, they dont get out a lot earlier, most murderers do more than 30 years, some are in for life. Plus you have to remember his stepdad lost his life let alone freedom for ten years!
I agree with you. People are way too naive and excusing of this guy just because he has white male privelege.

He doesn't have any actual training, he just fucks up people's houses because they feel bad for him so they give him work, and he doesn't pay the people that he works with, either.
I too am pulling for him. I pray he continues to educate himself and think about his future. I also pray that when he gets out that there will be someone who will give him a chance.
Stay strong youngster. You pay for your dirty deed, get out, dont look back. Keep your head and thoughts always in check. You can be a great man. Truth.
You know if that kid would have been smart enough to tell the police that his father or stepfather or whatever molested him he probably never would have seen the inside of a prison
Joseph Atnip guess he felt like if he didn’t kill his father, the abuse would’ve continued. You’d be surprised but some child service people and cops are dumb and ignore the issue and send the kids right back to their parents. I wish I could find the links of when that actually happened to a child that was tortured to death, and send em to you...
The kid doesnt have to work for someone else. I know a few people who've done prison time, got their education in there, got out and went on to open their own successful businesses.
I grew up in a violent house hold and I always think how emotionally close I was multiple times to resorting to violence myself to try and stop it. They just throw kids like us away. In some states women can kill their husbands and never see time in jail for batter women syndrome but then they prosecute CHILDREN dealing with the same violence as adults. Smh

Totally agree Gibran. greenMitsi. There's nothing anywhere that says he was molesting him. Colt has never accused him of anything sexual.. at all. You're being a troll
so anyone that points out an old overweight white male with facial hair is most probably a paedo is a troll? I think the statistics are on my side; seriously what do you think colt's silence is all about?
I really hope there's more to your logic then that. I actually went searching for the reasons he hated his stepfather before i made that comment. If you did too, and found allegations of sexual abuse then that's what you should have lead with. I found 2 interviews where he mentions all the reasons he hated him. Not once does he mention anything about being molested. By your court of public opinion logic, every step parent who doesn't get along with their step child is molesting them because they're "being silent" and statistics are on your side...
how many kids have ever shot a parent for being late to pick them up from soccer practice? - how many have shot a parent because they were grounded? because they didnt get the flavor they wanted from baskin robbins? stop looking for answers elsewhere and use your head, read between the lines. This is a 15 yr old kid shooting a person in cold blood, its for no random reason that he did it without a motive which he then refuses to disclose.
Exactly!! How many kids have ever shot anyone. So you don't get to blame the parent automatically. It's very possible that he is just that messed up that he shot him out of hate. He's not the first psycho kid to have a violent reaction. There have been other murderous kids. Did you even read why he hated his stepdad?? it wasn't cause he said no for a treat or some other lame thing. He hated the guy for a long time. even Told his mom he'd do something if she didn't stop him. Nothing about any sexual deviance. Anywhere. YOU don't get to decide what his reasons were based on conjecture and imagination.
Yea they didn't say that the man beat him and his mom cause then I'd agree with you ... but it sounds more like he knows he killed a innocent man and for that you should pay with your life when you take someone else's
Right? I see all these people fooled by words. I'm looking into that mofo's soul and I can tell you that something is not right. Somebody kid is gonna end up missing.
I did notice that too...but he has made strides in the system...arent there successful psychopaths out there that are good at being CEOs? He didnt just murder the step dad for no reason; he was an alcoholic and abusive. Not excusing it but just pointing out he didnt just randomly kill someone for no reason.
At least he has received positive experiences and education. It should be like this if you have to imprison children. However, I would really like to know how on earth such young kids even got their hands on guns in the first place? It really is a sorry excuse for a "society".
CECI CEO it's pretty simple if you have a parent with a gun. I'm 17 and my gun is 5 feet away right now. Besides you can get illegal guns easily in any city. It's the person who uses the gun. I bet even if it hadn't been a gun it would've been a knife.
I've watched a lot of shows about Colt and have not seen or heard anything from his mother. Only his real father. I wonder how she feels about all this
Sad!!!!!!! And a 12 year old boy got the same sentence as him,,,Just children,,,sad,,,I think it more to this story,,,maybe one day he tell the truth a child just didn't kill his stepfather cause he drank to much,,,,
Holy shit if they ever make a movie about this situation they have to cast Paul Dano as Colt Lundy. The resemblance is uncanny here especially the first 15 seconds while walking.
This is a sociopath and he is manipulating the system. I was a very abused child from the day I was born and did not kill anyone especially my parents or family members. So please keep your hateful comments to yourself.
He’s not necessarily manipulating the system at as he hasn’t gotten anything in return other than a jail sentence. Didn’t have to share your story but an opinion would’ve been more helpful to not getting hate comments.
That's probably because you were abused so much you were to afraid to defend yourself therefore you never had the balls to kill your parents. Cause you didn't have the balls to stand up for yourself. It's that simple.
Step dad and mom were drinkers and step dad may have been abusive. I wonder about sexual abuse. Real dad was out of the picture from 7-12 years old. Smart kid.
Suel Fadel The explanation is that his step father refused him permission to take a trip out west. The kid contemplated, planned, and executed a murder. He is where he needs to be. No excuses. He killed out of greed
+errol mcinnes thats bullshit. He murdered his stepfather because he wanted his parents to be back together so it wouldn't be possible for them to go back together if the stepfather was there. Please inform yourself.
+jesus santana The police report says the boys plotted to run away and Lundy said he couldn’t until he killed his stepfather wane.com/2014/10/01/from-kid-to-killer-colt-lundy-timeline/
Colt was abused by his stepfather and society failed him..They just threw him away. America should be ashamed.
USA justice system is a joke,the word justice should be removed
I agree
This guy is a murderer they are giving him justice he only got 25 years I would of gave him life so to me they are giving him justice and being fair to him if it was me life without parole
If he is a monster... he was made that way by us.
Dont blame him for doing wat he did tbh
Man he actually seemed really intelligent and collected. He reminds me of my own transformation behind bars where i cracked open my first college textbook as well. I had two more rodeos before i finally closed a twelve year sentence but i never gave up on myself. graduated, overcame a drug addiction, and now, i'm working hard on owning a home and setting up a nest egg for a retirement twenty years in the future. good luck kid.
Bless you!
Best of luck to ya!
Good job bud
krazy rodriguez proud of you
I really hope he doesn't remind you of yourself because this dude is creepy as hell and messed up.
that step dad did something to him he even said prison ended up being a better life then what he going through in his home.. smh
I read in cbs news the step dad didn't do anything.
www.cbsnews.com/news/indiana-12-year-old-gets-25-years-in-prison-in-murder-of-friends-stepfather/
Doesn't matter. Still doesn't give you the right to kill.
I know kids that have been through that and didn’t kill that abuser.
Maybe he just needed the structure and how to deal with his emotions
We will never know. Articles don’t matter either

He also brutally murdered a innocent man lol and your rooting for him shut the FUCK up please and thank you
Rooting for a murderer... okay
4 years in prison and his vocabulary is better than mine. Smh

yea on the SNY yards it happens on Gp yards to but not normally. we dont let it happen if we find out a whiteboy raped anyone we have to stick them. its politics.
Man, when I first watched this story, I couldn't believe that two 12 year olds, and a 15 year old could do something like that, but after watching this, I really hope dude gets a second chance. People make terrible decisions sometimes, mistakes happen, and out of anybody, this guy seems to know that he's done wrong, and has a good idea of what he needs to do to make his situation a better one. Mad respect to you man. Seriously, because that kind of thing happens rarely. Also, watching the story about the two 10 year olds brutally killing a 2 year old in the UK, made me think that this kids crime may not have been that bad after all. If a grown ass man is beating on you, and your mom, do what you gotta do. It all depends on the reason, but the only person that'll ever know why he made that decision, is him.
HE PUTTING IN WORK EARLY ⚰️
Dude was abused by his step father nothing wrong with taking out the trash.
Colt cheated on his wife with a rape victim that he forced to do things that she didn't want to do. He targeted a woman that he knew had been raped before because he thought that rape victims would be "easier" and he is tired of his wife. Don't look up to this bum. He also owes a ton of people money because he is ripping people off with his "home renovation" business. He doesn't have any actual training, he just fucks up people's houses because they feel bad for him so they give him work, and he doesn't pay the people that he works with, either.
@the_darkborne5440 I agree no adult helped this kid. People get tired of being abused I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often
That case in the UK I know quite well. James Bulger was very very very brutally murdered by those two sobs and they were sent to a children's home from the ages of ten and eighteen. They were released and given lifelong anonymity. One of them has been jailed on multiple occasions and is currently denied parole for child abuse images. That British system is an absolute joke.
It's nice to see an inmate brought up in prison, thriving and working on making his life better.

So the problem in him is corrected and once he's paid his debt to society it should be over, right? He bit the bullet and cut his loses. why then aren't there laws to protect against felon discrimination? I think the rate of recidivism would lower if felons had improved employment opportunities, even if only screened and psychologist approved felons were afforded the protection. Of course, anyone of us can find ourselves working an overnight job at Walmart. But that type of job is unfulfilling in the long run. Also, We don't have the same social structure as most western nations do. They can be discriminated against, get a job at Walmart and be ok. Americans can't, we have to worry about healthcare, an extremely expensive rental system etc. So we kind of rely on the prospect of someday getting a job that offers medical or pays enough to buy it. Walmart type jobs rarely give benefits and even if they do, there's still the matter of affording rent and everything else that's needed for a minimal standard of living. If a study was performed on a prison system to see if improved employment prospects lowered recidivism, and it yielded positive results then it would be a moral and ethical matter for society to address properly, because it would clearly show that recidivism is beyond an individual's control. Punishing people for stuff that's not their fault is wrong, regardless of a person's past.

Prison is supposed to be rehabilitation he’s a good example of the system done right, an unfortunate rare case
I followed this story when it happened and have always thought Colt was, for the most part a good kid. I am happy that the transition from the juvenile prison to the adult one seems to have been good for him. I am still very mindful however that he not only murdered his stepfather but he involved his friends as well. He has ruined a lot of lives and this must always be considered when decisions are made. 25 years is a long time, so all in all the American Judicial System has got this one Spot on. Good luck Colt, my deepest condolences and respect to the people who will forever be damaged by his hand.
Spot on?

He killed a man who was abusing him and his mother. His mother failed him and society failed him by not protecting him and by putting him in prison. No, he shouldn't have involved his friends but he was TWELVE YEARS OLD, angry, afraid, and unsafe in his own home.
he is a murderer yes
he made a big mistake ever yes
but at the end when he did that he was a kid,did he know the consequences? No
I pray to God to forgive him
and we all need to forgive colt
+Frankie bon did he know the consequences???? OBVIOUSLY. He was 15, and knew the consequences. Stop trying to stick up for him, he knew what he was doing lmao.
Exactly just being 15 doesent mean you can kill someone and get away with it
He wasn't 15 when he was convicted, he never did know the consequences
😃😃😃😃
+Frankie bon how could he not fucking know the consequences he was 15! I think he would be old enough to know
That's the thing... a young teenager changes sooo much on a short period of time. After some years they are not the same anymore, when you become adult even your brain isn't the same anymore. That's why it's so cruel to convict young criminal offenders as an adult and for such long periods of time. It doesnt make sense.
Its also cruel to shoot your stepfather to death. I made some dumb decisions as a teenager but murder is not forgivable.
He’s a murderer he and the other kid should get life. May god have mercy on his soul.
He committed an adult crime and should pay the consequences; it is forgivable; but forgiveness does not negate the penalty.
Sure, he's a murderer. I dont deny that, it is a terrible, terrible crime that impacts many lives and sure, even a young guy who commits murder needs to undergo a punnishment. But I dont believe putting a person in jail and throw away the key is such a great solution. Maybe you can start with strict gun laws, it makes murdering less easy. When canada and australia made their gun laws more strict, the numbers went down immediatly with 30 to 65%. In the UK, police dont even wear guns, can you imagine that? In my country there are very strict gun laws and it pays, not once there was a school shooting, not once! I know its a difficult issue, but it does work, the statistics dont lie.
2horses4U I think we put most people in jail for too long alsp
I just don't see how giving a 15 year old kid 25 years is helping the situation. 10 years was probably max time for a child. if they can say for 1 second his brain was fully developed and understood fully what he was doing, they're out of their mind. he's definitely not a career criminal. his step dad shouldn't have lost his life for any reason but we need to take into consideration he was murdered by a child. 25 years is just too much in my opinion.
not really the person he killed probably had over 25 years left in his life but he took it away.
You’re exactly correct. The brain isn’t even fully functional at 18. He most likely felt betrayed by his mother who put the drunk step-dad first. I am not at all saying what he did was justified. Clearly he made a horrible choice.
Robert Bragg a Child is 11 and down preteen is 12 and teen is 13 and up

He should of never been charged as a adult!!!! old drunk beat him and beat him and the kid came back with a gun and put a bullet in the old man's head, this should be looked at as what can happen when a parent beats their child and makes them feel terrible deep down inside , I do recall the kid saying he told everyone and even told his mom if it happens again I'll kill him
Personally I think he did more than beat him.
How do u know the step dad beat him up? I been watching a couple videos now on this guys case & couldnt find a reason. TIA
The Fishy Life ! I didn’t know his story for why he killed his Stepfather ! And if I read correctly about him being beaten and the mom probably too and she let it happen she lucky he didn’t kill her too , Abuse is abuse no matter ! All the best to him when he is released🙏🏼💙🙏🏼And me at 47 if I had gone through any kind of physical abuse ! You better believe I would of dealt with your fate.. And that judge that sentence him to 25 yrs ! You need your ass to be fucked up!!!💯
Their were no found evidence once so ever of physical abuse, he even admitted he was never beat. All the abuse was emotional. Never physical

I truly wish the best for this young man
I'm so proud of the man he has become
i hope he gets out. my gut says he was a bratty kid who really messed up. i dont feel him dangerous to anyone. and i dont mean out-out. i mean a supervised out where he will still be watched for many years. just a slow way to get this kid back into society...
Lmao are you serious? A bratty kid? He's a murderer. I had my far share of mischievous shit during my teens, but shooting someone to death is beyond forgivable. IF he did that shit as a 15 year old, what do you think he'll do as an adult?
satchel jackson If you looked further into the case you would know the step father that he killed was an angry drunk that abused his mother (and most likely him.) He shot him with THE CHILD ACCESSIBLE guns that his step father possessed. This isn't a cold blooded killer, this was a child who was subject to abuse until his breaking point. The other child involved in the case who also shot the step father was 12 at the time just trying to help his friend escape the abuse. The other child was released and created what's called "Paul's Law" to protect children who are unable to grasp some of the gravity of their actions. Nothing is black and white. I'm sorry you assumed what had happened with the little information that was given. Give the kid a break
Tavi, my stepfather who I lived with for many years was a chronic alcoholic with severe PTSD. There had been numerous occasions where I had to put my hands on him to protect my mother. Never once did I think about murdering him. This kid is a killer, and deserves to be behind bars for the rest of his life. I'm sure his stepdad was a piece of shit, however, what he did to this kid doesn't equal a death penalty. Stop making excuses for murderers.
You take another’s life you lose yours. He thought of the consequences and still went through with it and when he got butt fucked in prison by big daddy warden then he regretted killing the man who raised him. World is tough don’t do stupid shit or that shit will come right back around.
He wasn’t a bratty kid. He was a victim of the bullshit his father did to him. Although I don’t condone his killing. He told people the shit his dad was doing to him and no one would listen, not even his mother. Boy never wanted to be alone with that dead beat, and who knows what that bastard dad did to him. That boy was victimized. He killed out of being fed up, but he’s serving his time and taking responsibility for his actions. I feel sorry for him that it had to happen the way it did. He’s no monster, he got dealt a shit life and his side of the story should be looked in to before judging is placed. This kid has been making changes in his life, and behind bars, not just sitting on his ass!
I met this guy who became my friend in third grade. He’s a great person and thoughtful. When they say he doesn’t want to come back. Trust me he’s not like most that will end up back for the same crap. Hes ready to get out and get back to living a normal life
Dylan Dun what's your point? You failed to mention the point
He will never lead a normal life
You can see that this kid is ready to be back in real life,he now has a goal,he was a child when all this happen,yes it was a very bad thing he did,he need help not prison but am glad he’s holding his head up and trying to achieve something in life,am sure he’s not alone and am sure there other kids like him in Prison,Son I wish you the best,stay focus don’t get in trouble you gonna make it out this one🙏🏾🙏🏾

At 15 most kids have messed up thoughts, many kids think that if mom or dad's present companion would die everything will go back to what it was. That is just how naive kids think. This kid and his friend acted up on the thought and are paying as adults. Think on really hurtful thoughts you or your kid had at that age and you'll see the similarity, now do you or your kid deserve to be in prison for 30 years?
If he just killed his abuser, he should never have gone to prison. Needed therapy for what was done to him.
“Probably working a dead end job”
Well prison makes a dead end job look like a fucking paradise
It's just another kind of prison.
He's not going to be defined by his mistake, he's living a very productive life that's going to be very resourceful in the long run and people will see it.
It's a reason why he did it that ppl don't know
Well he had many chances to tell them if there was a reason. The man is dead ... shouldn’t feel like he needs to hold anything back now. And yet still nothing so he did it without reason.

I would love to see another report done on him and see where he is now and what hes like
He’s seems like he’s really maturing and turning into a good man.
Smart and good-looking young man. I hope he stays disciplined and focused.
Colt whilst serving his sentence and receiving the correct rehabilitation and educational programes along with a tremendous amount of his own input is showing a great deal of maturity and is turning into an articulate and thoughtful young man more than willing to accept his responsibilities. He has also accomplished to date a good education and passed his various exams on the way to accomplishing a degree. Colt was a confused fifteen year old with internal family problems and had easy access to firearms when this crime was committed. Though he has suffered a set back with his recent case review, surley this intelligent young man should be given an oppertunity in main stream society as an adult.
a thousand Im sorrys will not bring back the victim whose life he took.Then again I have done a lot of research on this and I have heard different stories,
David Magill I still don't think he should get out of prison I heard he was cruel to animals it was a sociopath I didn't have it easy growing up either everyone gave up on me including my parents but I won't get into specifics I never been in trouble with the law and I never killed anybody

The book he's scanning... it's called A Dance of Dragons by George RR Martin. It's from The Game of Thrones series. Just in case anyone was wondering.
He sounds like a very intelligent young man and I hope only the best for his future.
Thank goodness for the rehabilitative nature of his confinement. The length of his sentence, considering his age at the time of the crime and the way the crime was planned and committed, is cruel and unusual punishment.
There’s always a reason for what people do and this dude has one

she was granted rear access lmao

Lol
Yall do know prison rape doesnt happen.... Only between homosexual consenting adults fyi
There is a great UA-cam channel that interviews Colt. They stayed close to him. He has a recent interview of him outside of jail.
Imagine his accomplice a 12 years old. His 25 to life too. Poor kids.
The part they are not telling is, Cody did not shoot his stepfather alone. His friend who was only 12 hot him twice as well. The other young man name was Paul. Like Cody, Paul received a 25yr sentence as well, BUT his family pushed for another trial and it was said that he was too young to understand, and was released at the age of 17.
I actually wish this kid well. Although, I realize it's easier for me to feel that than for the relatives of his victim.
He should’ve never served a day, and should’ve been put through counseling for abused teens.
I'm familiar with this case and I feel he has a good chance on making it when he gets out. He acted on an emotion that he has never revealed why he did what he did but I am sure something drove him to do it. The guns should have never been left unlocked and loaded and in his reach. He was young and impulsive. I feel for his victims family and their loss. Hopefully someday they have closure and he is able to tell them the real reason he acted on this impulse. I've watched many documentaries on child killers and he's very different than the others. He isn't mentally disturbed or an angry person so it only makes sense that he did it for a particular reason. I know from another interview when he was younger he said several times that there were things going on that no one else knew about so I think that's a clue to why it happened but it's unfortunate that he couldn't have brought it to the attention of a counselor at school or someone outside the house things could have been so different for him but I have a feeling him and his mother were being abused so if he left he knew she would be left there to deal on her own. Anyway I see a lot of potential in him and I hope he makes it in life. He's saying prison was a good thing for him and I'm sure that's his way of reassuring himself that he's in a good spot for now and is a coping mechanism which is a good sign that he will be able to adapt to the free world when he gets out.

But what led the kid to killing his step father. He probably just had enough can't really blame him if he was constantly going through depression from someone who is supposed to be close to you. You can only stir the pot for so long .
His step father was Really abusive 😭😭
I wonder if his stepfather started turning his aggressive abuse into a sexual assault. That's how you break a child's spirit and aggressive alcoholics live for it.
None of you people have any evidence whatsoever for the hateful slurs you are throwing around! Kids have killed their parents for all kinds of reasons, like they wanted their money, or they wanted the house, or they wanted to do whatever they wanted without parents telling them what to do.
Millicent Bystander How many at this age? And he had two 12 year olds. Something was way off and none of the parents caught it.
Only HIM, you're only speculating, you're saying, "The step-dad was doing something terrible to them because they never would have killed him otherwise." But kids as young as these HAVE killed without much or ANY provocation. What about the two 10-year-olds who killed a toddler in the UK? What about the young teenage boys who killed their grandmother with an axe to steal her money (which they spent on pizza and pot)? Look, maybe the step-dad WAS abusing them, but without any evidence at all, it's totally wrong to jump to that conclusion.
Kid was in a tough situation and made a bad decision. But he sounds very intelligent and seems respectful. I like him. Hopefully he makes the best of his life once he’s released.
Bad decision? He committed murder, bottom line maybe mother needs to explain
@@lisabartolo2644 murdering someone seems like a pretty bad decision to me

Bad Boys Hub you’re completely right he also planned to kill his father with the 12 year old for his car. Not a mistake just a regret.

he took a twelve year old with him he is manipulative, you can hear it in his voice
Yeah, he's gonna end up back in there after he gets released. Dude still has a lot of demons that prison isn't gonna help him work through.
The 12 year old pulled a trigger too. It wasn’t manipulative
wow. You have the remarkable gift of just "knowing things", don't you. Can you teach me how to know EVERYTHING and never be wrong about anything ever??

He is now released. He only served 9 yrs in prison
He has done well in prison for himself, education, fitness etc to make time fly and put him ahead for his future. At the same point, he is not remorseful, hates losing his freedom and being told what to do when and having no choices. He is lucky compared to most murderers, because they may have been older, they dont get out a lot earlier, most murderers do more than 30 years, some are in for life. Plus you have to remember his stepdad lost his life let alone freedom for ten years!
I agree with you. People are way too naive and excusing of this guy just because he has white male privelege. Colt cheated on his wife with a rape victim that he forced to do things that she didn't want to do. He targeted a woman that he knew had been raped before because he thought that rape victims would be "easier" and he is tired of his wife. Don't look up to this bum. He also owes a ton of people money because he is ripping people off with his "home renovation" business. He doesn't have any actual training, he just fucks up people's houses because they feel bad for him so they give him work, and he doesn't pay the people that he works with, either.
I too am pulling for him. I pray he continues to educate himself and think about his future. I also pray that when he gets out that there will be someone who will give him a chance.
Stay strong youngster. You pay for your dirty deed, get out, dont look back. Keep your head and thoughts always in check. You can be a great man. Truth.
You know if that kid would have been smart enough to tell the police that his father or stepfather or whatever molested him he probably never would have seen the inside of a prison
Joseph Atnip guess he felt like if he didn’t kill his father, the abuse would’ve continued. You’d be surprised but some child service people and cops are dumb and ignore the issue and send the kids right back to their parents. I wish I could find the links of when that actually happened to a child that was tortured to death, and send em to you...
Joseph Atnip maybe his mother told him 2 do it. u know she plays a big part here
The kid doesnt have to work for someone else. I know a few people who've done prison time, got their education in there, got out and went on to open their own successful businesses.
poor kid made a mistake as a child and it ruined his entire life
Armando Chavez He planned it more of a regret than a mistake. He took a life I wish he got a life sentence.
I grew up in a violent house hold and I always think how emotionally close I was multiple times to resorting to violence myself to try and stop it. They just throw kids like us away. In some states women can kill their husbands and never see time in jail for batter women syndrome but then they prosecute CHILDREN dealing with the same violence as adults. Smh

I'm loving the sympathizers in the comments, you'd be singing a different tune if roles were reversed.
Totally agree Gibran. greenMitsi. There's nothing anywhere that says he was molesting him. Colt has never accused him of anything sexual.. at all. You're being a troll
so anyone that points out an old overweight white male with facial hair is most probably a paedo is a troll? I think the statistics are on my side; seriously what do you think colt's silence is all about?
I really hope there's more to your logic then that. I actually went searching for the reasons he hated his stepfather before i made that comment. If you did too, and found allegations of sexual abuse then that's what you should have lead with. I found 2 interviews where he mentions all the reasons he hated him. Not once does he mention anything about being molested. By your court of public opinion logic, every step parent who doesn't get along with their step child is molesting them because they're "being silent" and statistics are on your side...
how many kids have ever shot a parent for being late to pick them up from soccer practice? - how many have shot a parent because they were grounded? because they didnt get the flavor they wanted from baskin robbins? stop looking for answers elsewhere and use your head, read between the lines. This is a 15 yr old kid shooting a person in cold blood, its for no random reason that he did it without a motive which he then refuses to disclose.
Exactly!! How many kids have ever shot anyone. So you don't get to blame the parent automatically. It's very possible that he is just that messed up that he shot him out of hate. He's not the first psycho kid to have a violent reaction. There have been other murderous kids. Did you even read why he hated his stepdad?? it wasn't cause he said no for a treat or some other lame thing. He hated the guy for a long time. even Told his mom he'd do something if she didn't stop him. Nothing about any sexual deviance. Anywhere. YOU don't get to decide what his reasons were based on conjecture and imagination.
Do y'all have a Kairos program out there?
I think he deserves a chance again
Annie P * Beauty Defying Age You would, and if he got out on your behalf and killed again, then what?
Annie P * Beauty Defying Age not that sure myself, just thinking would I let him round my family, I wud love to think I would, tuff one
I agree.I hate Colt Ludys guts.He doesnt deserve a second chance.Phil Danner does not get a second chance.
Yea they didn't say that the man beat him and his mom cause then I'd agree with you ... but it sounds more like he knows he killed a innocent man and for that you should pay with your life when you take someone else's
You'll be glad to hear that he is out.
What happened to the 12 year old kid that got charged with same sentence as him ?
I bet it's hard to call in work at his day job
He’s out already. He’s doing great.
This kid has a sociopath tendency to him. All monotone and eerie sounding when he talks.
Right? I see all these people fooled by words. I'm looking into that mofo's soul and I can tell you that something is not right. Somebody kid is gonna end up missing.
Jeremy Thomas frfr
You don't know shit about this dude.... if you want to see a sociopath look at this shit society we got going on....
calm down, Dr. Phil.
I did notice that too...but he has made strides in the system...arent there successful psychopaths out there that are good at being CEOs? He didnt just murder the step dad for no reason; he was an alcoholic and abusive. Not excusing it but just pointing out he didnt just randomly kill someone for no reason.
His accomplice was only 12 at the time. He was released early and put on house arrest.
People have to learn you cant do anything you want in this world there are consequences for everything you do you have to be good at all times.
THEPOWER99FM noone is always good lol
What happened to all the muscle he was talking about 4 years ago ??
So glad he's gonna get out! It was just one mistake! He's changed he deserves a new life!
Why is this showing up in my recommendation feed in 2018
At least he has received positive experiences and education. It should be like this if you have to imprison children. However, I would really like to know how on earth such young kids even got their hands on guns in the first place? It really is a sorry excuse for a "society".
CECI CEO it's pretty simple if you have a parent with a gun. I'm 17 and my gun is 5 feet away right now. Besides you can get illegal guns easily in any city. It's the person who uses the gun. I bet even if it hadn't been a gun it would've been a knife.
Phil Danner kept loaded guns around the house in various rooms in easy reach
I've watched a lot of shows about Colt and have not seen or heard anything from his mother. Only his real father. I wonder how she feels about all this
Sad!!!!!!! And a 12 year old boy got the same sentence as him,,,Just children,,,sad,,,I think it more to this story,,,maybe one day he tell the truth a child just didn't kill his stepfather cause he drank to much,,,,
Wow. He changing his mind n heart. Pleased to see he is in a program n making a difference.
SMH they painting this kid as a Saint! What about the Victim?? Buddy still dead and gone! you got to do the time big fella!
He's out, too bad loser.
He was a victim too, the guy beat him all the time
Holy shit if they ever make a movie about this situation they have to cast Paul Dano as Colt Lundy. The resemblance is uncanny here especially the first 15 seconds while walking.
How the heck do you sentence a 14 yr old to 25 yrs? Man that’s counterproductive
Randolph W agree
15 years maximum for people under 18
HE KILLED A MAN!
They sentenced his little 12 year old friend too but I think he already got out
How will he survive when he gets out
This is a sociopath and he is manipulating the system. I was a very abused child from the day I was born and did not kill anyone especially my parents or family members. So please keep your hateful comments to yourself.
He’s not necessarily manipulating the system at as he hasn’t gotten anything in return other than a jail sentence. Didn’t have to share your story but an opinion would’ve been more helpful to not getting hate comments.
That's probably because you were abused so much you were to afraid to defend yourself therefore you never had the balls to kill your parents. Cause you didn't have the balls to stand up for yourself. It's that simple.
I'm not interested in your alleged life story. You can't tell if someone is a sociopath by watching a short news segment on them.
Step dad and mom were drinkers and step dad may have been abusive. I wonder about sexual abuse. Real dad was out of the picture from 7-12 years old. Smart kid.
Continue education in prison. Continue education outside prison. It all helps. Not sure how the outside world, its reality check.
Actually I heard that he's already been a release from prison and got 5 years probation I don't know if it's true or not but that's what I heard
It is he has an Instagram where he does fitness stuff now
Institutionalized in 4 years
This kid deserves another shot at some point. He is a perfect example of someone learning from their actions.
why would a young kid choose to murder his stepfather?
I'm sure there's an explanation like maybe he was abusing his mother, beating her, disrespecting her
Suel Fadel The explanation is that his step father refused him permission to take a trip out west. The kid contemplated, planned, and executed a murder. He is where he needs to be. No excuses. He killed out of greed
+errol mcinnes thats bullshit. He murdered his stepfather because he wanted his parents to be back together so it wouldn't be possible for them to go back together if the stepfather was there. Please inform yourself.
+jesus santana The police report says the boys plotted to run away and Lundy said he couldn’t until he killed his stepfather wane.com/2014/10/01/from-kid-to-killer-colt-lundy-timeline/
chances are he was molested & brought up in a family with access to firearms. The parents should front up with part of that prison sentence
Do you ever notice that all the UA-cam videos (mainly juveniles) about prisons and jails are in Indiana.
