      It’s what they both chose & they should not even be eligible for parole, ever. The state had the evidence to convict them & the death penalty on the table so there should have been no plea deals given. It should not be up to the sorry ass prosecutors to offer a plea deal when this crime was caught on cameras & there wasn’t any chance they were going to get away with it. The only thing this plea deal helped with, was the family didn’t have to sit through a trial of them pretending they didn’t do it & sparing the gruesome details of how the young man was robbed of his life.

      @@BrooklynRival7718it’s not the music. It’s the lack of parents and discipline of the home that these people have been raised in. Their mothers didn’t care about loving on their children, making their lives all about the children the day they find out their pregnant with them. Instead, they are born to selfish, ratchet females who think of nobody but themselves. They are too worried about spending the child support money on getting their weave done, the hideous 5”nails that are so long they can’t wipe their own butts without getting shit in their fingertips. The only thing their mommies are worried about is getting their hair & nails did so they can go find themselves another waste of space & get pregnant once more so the state & tax payers can pay their section 8 housing, insurance so they can take their kids to the emergency room for drs visits since they are too lazy to even schedule a well child visit, unless the state gives them an incentive of $50 gift card to take them to the drs yearly. Instead of taking the child support money and Investing it into YMCA after school & before school child care, so they can go get a JOB themselves so they can get themselves up out of poverty & make a good life for their kids, but that requires them caring about themselves & their children & wanting more out of life. However, we see the systemic abuse of the system, generation after generation, to do all they can to not make a better life for themselves.

To take three lives is so easy? How many innocent people have lost their whole lives behind bars being innocent? Innocent people, once accused, they have no voice. And through trial, no voice. How many innocent people have been unjustly convicted of crimes they did not do or not even associated with the crime accused? Wrong suspects fill these prison walls? Why? I know of One. Not enough evidences on these young men. Just shody work by dirty cops, attorneys, and a corrupt judge who won't voice or question anything in his courtroom. Judges could ask questions behind the bench. You think they care? NO. Because if judges did care they could dismissed cases. Do you know why it is not done? Because everything is about 💰 while they sit there they get PAID. These young men did not kill this young man, but now they put robes around their necks to strip them of all given RIGHTS. THIS IS WHAT THEY DID. YOU SAY JUSTICE IS SERVED? It's more like the kiss of judas. BETRAYAL. God have mercy on all of us.
