STRONG valid statement
If i could give this comment a heart i would!!!

Words of an insightful soul
Thank You
AMEN!!!!!!!!! Very Powerful Words

How do you know?
Are you the Creator who knows all!!!
We know where your statement is coming from!!! Doesn’t pay to be arrogant that is one of Satans qualities
And only Allah knows best and knows all
When he said, "I need someone to take care of me tonight" i felt that hard. Breaks my heart
Damn Murphy chin up baby boy knowing you did what was right by the Lord! Eye for an eye baby there's somewhere better after this
Me to it was sad!
Where is the timestamp for that? You guys have no UA-cam etiquette.
Time stamp is 7:38

The kid they showed being slammed by an officer, who later committed suicide was Kalief Browder. He was arrested for supposedly stealing a backpack... he was 16 and sat in rikers for 3 years, an innocent child. His story breaks my heart, sadly there's a lot more lost kids just like him.
It’s sad to think about the illegal things that people like myself when underage could get away with, and then hearing about things like this. I’ll never understand why minor offences are taken so seriously in the states, let alone within coloured communities.
Did he have a bail? He had no family no friends to bail him out?
So sad 😞
Amy,
I recall reading about Kalief Browser.
Beyond heartbreaking in every single dimension imaginable.....
I don't get it. Our system sends the most innocent people there. Yes they have done wrong. Ok.. so why Rikers? If this guy is 16 then send him to military boot camp. I've seen this program save many lives. Damn
they killed bro's sister. thats was his angel, his heart and then mocked her death. murder is wrong i know, but damn look at the position he was put in. He has a heart of gold. I pray he gets an early release. he's got the motivation that most of us on the outside need. I pray he stays positive.
Fr I feel sad 😥 for him they should've gave him less years than that he just lost his sister
@@cashwalker9512 Can't do that, as much as it sucks the world doesn't work that way. He isn't the only one in there who murdered someone for revenge.
@@bowser2417 the sad thing is that no matter how much time you give any of them, it doesn't fix the problems inherent in the system, from the streets to the jails.
Stay strong Murphy praying for early release 🙏🏽
What makes it worse is that you can tell he has potential as a counselor or something and gis potential is being wasted here.
Hearing him smile and say, “I wanted to be a marine biologist.” Idk why but it kinda broke my heart.
Hope he does become one
Because everyone has goal and dreams some just don't make it and that's sad.
same
You heard him smile? 🥴👀
chris clarke hahaha you got me there lol
“I need someone to take care of me tonight.” Smh that broke my heart. Keep praying Murphy!
I agree. He seemed so positive and that sentence took it ALL AWAY. That's messed up.
Same here. It broke my heart, and made me sob
Antinesha.... ghetto name of the week!
Arky Bald Knobber be gone, ugly
and what's yours?? oh I 4got urs is the white racist name of the YEAR!!!! and the "Johnny Reb" pic confirms that so stfu b4 a Yankee takes ur shoes
i feel horrible for murphy. he clearly isn't dangerous, he was just defending his sister. dead or not, having someone mock a serious issue about your sibling makes your blood boil, and the fact that her killer did it is infuriating. he doesn't deserve that. plus, the killer's dead and he doesn't have to go to prison anymore, murphy does. for 25 years. it's heartbreaking
Yeah right. trust me, you don't know these guys! if you met them on the street, you know they are assholes!
He didn’t just mock his sister Recc killed her
@@drakemccain1616 smoking on rexk
They need to look more into this he needs a better lawyer
No because if you kill over anger regardless of what someone else did they consider that a crime unfortunately and he shouldn’t get 25 but he does need to be punished for crime he took the law into his own hands and to the system you are dangerous if you kill out of revenge which is sort of true
I had a friend, as a teen who was wrongful accused and awaited trial on Rikers took 2years to find him innocent. He went in as a carefree,fun-loving goofy kid and came out cold, sullen and standoffish...his eyes...his smile were never the same 😔
Hello...do you still talk with him? Maybe try encourage him and let him know he has a great future ahead🥺
its amerryskum for you
He became a man that’s all. Nothing to be sad about !

Orlando Coombs says the person on UA-cam and not facing life in prison. You’re a clown
I hope Franklin gets out. He’s young and has a pure heart. He made a mistake and learned from it. As well as Murphy. A lot of these guys were just a victim to their environment. It’s sad
I think the world drove him crazy.
Do you know anything about him getting out?
Which year is he supposed to be released?
He lives in my area he ain’t no angel 😂😂😂 this is all for show
@@victory8436 Dude ain't no Saint. He's a damn gang member. He's acting like that for the show.
My sister died in 2015 and there were people all over the internet mocking her death. I felt such anger towards these people, but they were strangers on the internet. I don’t know how I would have reacted had I known the people mocking my sister personally. I feel for Murphy and I hope he stays positive and can serve his sentence and be released, to someday be a counsellor and a light for the young men of the future who will need his story and guidance. I would love to work in these prisons and help keep these young men positive.
Sorry for that J ay
People are so fucking evil sorry that happened to you
so do it! just do it! talk to a school counselor on how to get started! pls dont let your dream die. please.....
If you don’t mind who is your sister ?
“I need someone to take care of me tonight” I felt that, we all fighting our demons
The only demons are the people who convicted him if he didn't do it! Did they have proof?? I honestly believe him when he said he didn't do it.. 25years to life is a lot when you're innocent poor dude
@@likemycommentgurl5196 What makes you believe he didn't it? Sure, he portrays himself as a nice guy, but the law is the law. There we obviously sufficient evidence that he murdered somebody, and he therefore got an appropriate sentence. The fact that he's a nice guy shouldn't change anything.
@@donielrosenthal844 there are plenty of people who have been charged with murder and even sentenced to death and were later found innocent... So your statement while in the books would be true, in the real world, sadly it isn't always the case.

It was depressing to hear the guy who got stabbed with a bottle say “Home is worse”
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen. vgvg

Judges & attorneys need to be held accountable for the “WRONG” decisions they make!
Until you become one of their victims.
Yeah they made a little mistake, only killed some other people a little no big deal , why they be picking on me !
7:38 “I need someone to take care or me tonight”...these words just break my heart! God bless him. 😔
tanisalvrdo Alvarado I hear ya Murphy, the even sadder reality is that those same exact words are uttered by millions of "free" and enslaved Black males in America every night. So sad, so infuriating, things must change 😡

That hit home
I am going tonpray for him. God can forgive him, I hope the truth comes out. Wow! I feel so sad.

I didn't realize that there were still slaves in America. I could of sworn there was a big war, and afterwards slavery was abolished. So sad that people are still being secretly enslaved in 2018 America. Lol. Foh
It's crazy how some people are genuinely good people and they fuck up once when they're young and that's the end of their life.
All for Grace of God; We could be in his exact position. Life is crazy. Man plans and
God laughs.
Right That's why life is not a game an the next generation will be better because they know that there isn't a reset button
Shit I thought 3 months on punishment was bad I dont think I could do a week at Rikers
i felt this
I know welcome to hell buh
I feel so bad for that young man who's sister was murdered. Of course I can't really say I know him as a person but he really does strike me as someone who just wanted to defend his dead sister. Heartbreaking that he's facing that many years... I hope he's able to keep his positivity even in the face of that future, he seems like a real shining light for at least that area of the prison
So many young men locked up and forgotten about it just so unthinkable to have to endure day in and day out and to have the strength to face another day in a place like this it takes courage just to face another day ! It truly breaks my heart 😪💔
“Home is worse”
That one really hit me.
Mint ...yup!...blame the u.s..government!..they never do a damn thing about all these gangs!!..all they care about is the 💰$$$
yah me too I swear. Still reflecting on it yah know.
He's just an idiot who trynna look cool on camera
Quentin G Nah man. That’s really how it is in some ghettos. When you’re locked up the police are constantly watching you and those around you to keep everything calm and relaxed. But some hoods are so bad police refuse to even enter them. Making them almost lawless areas. The most common one for example is Compton California. I know because I used to live in a city like that myself in my home state of Virginia. People feel forgotten about and uncared for in these areas. Every day truly is fight for us.
MaJelin 1221 that’s Real 💯I’m in Norfolk Va
that kid murphy's story breaks my heart, man..... it really is in gods hands now. he seems like a really good kid who made a serious mistake in honor of his sister.
@P M the judge said it was a rival GM mocked his sisters death, not Murphy. And mocking someones death on video after murdering them is very normal in the endz.
@@k.a.t.6265 What is endz?
and i bet the hearts of the mother and father of the dude he murdered are broken. or u dont give a fuk about them, only their sons killer? who's to say if murpheys version is true? the dead man cant speak. murphey had a choice to walk away, but instead choose to murder. dont forget that.
@@imjayeleeiwishiwereabillio9731 Thank you, people be thinking with a small IQ these days
@@imjayeleeiwishiwereabillio9731 I absolutley get what you guys are saying from both sides and im being unbiased when I say this. No he should not have retaliated and killed the person for mocking his sisters death. But these "kids" ( I say that cause there of age physically not mentally) Are constantly taught revenge and bad bad things in the hood. and they see it everyday with robberies gang violence drive by shootings and then they dont have parents to sit there and teach them properly right from wrong. So in his head he couldve been thinkin he was doin what was normal for all we know. Like I said I get your side, But I dont think hes a cold blooded killer I think if he wouldve had some proper guidence during that time he wouldve made the right choice.
This was one of the best segments I'll never forget
It’s 2022 and I would love to send Murphy some encouraging letters. My heart…ugh. 😭
That kid was sent to Rikers for possession? That's just wrong and a horrible use of taxpayer money.
Cheap Labour
@Fortino V Hmm, the war on drugs Does Not Work. Period. It's a war on People not drugs. The fact that it's not working & only making things worse is easily interpreted by looking at the upward deaths & incarcerations. I am sorry about your personal situation though.. you are entitled to your opinion, I just wanted to say that.
@Fortino V according to the data its debatable about whether or not it even works at all in fact the war on drugs seems to cause alot of issues that we dont think about check the link below:
www.americanprogress.org/issues/criminal-justice/reports/2018/06/27/452819/ending-war-drugs-numbers/
@Fortino V If you want less people to die from drugs you should favor free healthcare, free mental care, free higher education, better infrastructure, provide people with opportunity. Tax billionaires to pay for it. Locking people up changes absolutely nothing in the long run. We have decades worth of data to prove it.
@Fortino V Not free everything. Free things that the large majority of developed countries provide to their citizens without issue, including mine. Billionares make up less than 0.001% of the population, if we want to to tax them their fair share we can.

I feel so bad for Murphy he definitely isn’t a dangerous guy he was just defending his dead sister
I'm with you!!
A bad act doesn't automatically make a bad person. Too many people don't want to believe this... heartbreaking
I love how happy that dude was when he showed the camera men the strawberries he planted
What makes this even worse is that there no physical evidence he did it. No weapon, no surveillance camera footage, no DNA just a couple of testimonies from people testifying for a shorter sentence.
100% agree. Our system is flawed to the max. There was a case awhile back where a karate instructor kidnapped one of his students and was molesting him. When the police got him and were walking him through the courtroom in cuffs the dad of the boy shot the convict in the head as “retaliation” for his son. Got off Scott free. If someone can retaliate for their son that’s still living idk why someone cant for their sister who was murdered.
"Home is worse" the most heartbreaking sentence I've ever heard from a kid! 🥺
How is Murphy today? My little brother, I know all too well. God has placed you there for a reason. Make the best of it. You are strong enough. You are needed. Much Love. 💕

Yes it is ... and he seems like a very intelligent young man .... imagine your sitting in jail because you wanted to try weed ....

I can go on a whole tangent on the topic for hours. Kind of off-topic I know, but I wanted to share something wholesome that stood out to me in this video.
" I need someone to take care of me tonight " . Bless up Murphy ❤
murphys story is different, that man didnt mean no harm.
yes he did, he intentionally took another mans life. he had a choice of walking away, he choose not to, he choose murder instead. and he;s up for robbery as well as other charges, so we dont know the full story. did he rob his victim while he was alive, or lying on the cold hard ground, dead?

Your right I hear the pride too. He was proud of the accomplishment of seeing something GOOD live and grow that HE PLANTED🍓
When he sees those Strawberries come ripe, nobody will be able to say a word to him about nothing. He will have is chest out with the biggest sense of achievement, and a smile from ear to ear.😁

Gisele Hernandez yea its really a positive move on that facility end like they’re showing inmates that there’s hope nd more to life than they experience nd also gives them time to learn responsibility nd patience
Vera Floyd I’m gonna start growing some strawberries now :)
Yess that stood out for me too
I understand what you are saying. I picked up on that brief statement as well... a small achievement but he was proud of that. It makes you see how sad this environment has to be.. how can people stay positive once in the system.. guilty or not it’s every day life on the inside. If only there was a true solution for these people... I do not see it happening in my lifetime but if only a positive solution for these people and their crimes both big and small. I just don’t know....
“Give me someone to talk to, if I feel myself thinking negative”
Yes, I really need this too and I hope the kid will get this too.
Well, for me unfortunately I don't have someone to talk to except this smartphone which sometime it helps but most of the time not.
I just imagine how the kid will handle on that situation
Damn Murphy. Our Justice system sucks. My heart aches for you. I hope that you are still the light that others need.
The correctional officers and kids bonding is one of the best things ive ever seen. It actually puts meaning into dept of corrections now.
My heart goes out to Murphy and his family. ❤️❤️❤️ I hope his sister got justice. His mother has now lost both of her children. 😭
Jackie Kramer yes they caught him hun
He shouldnt of been charged with doing justice for his sister who got KILLED. If he is aware of who MURDERED his sister in cold blood it should be okay to fire off on them KILLERS... period. Plus the cops probably never found the shooterbut family always investigateson there own and much more than the fuck ass police anyway. Only problem was... He got to the killer before the cops did so they charged him for some bs .smfh

One of the most heartbreaking things said by one young man is "no I'm not afraid in here home is worse"... for a young man to think Rikers Island is better , and safer than the home he came from is heartbreaking , and very revealing on the path that has ended him up in prison in the first place. What kind of positivity could there possibly be in an environment that he deems scarier than prison? Absolutely disgustingly sad. I just feel like this country needs to pay more attention to these young men who are not violent , and who will be put back on the street because if you leave them to just befriending other inmates , they're going to come out worse than they came in. It is just the way it is , and I think this Warden has some really good ideas but I agree with the guard who spoke about not removing segregation for the 18 to 21 year olds and I agree I do not think segregation should be taken away for 18 to 21 year olds , they can be the most dangerous because they're so unpredictable and immature and unwise in the ways of the world the real world outside of their surreal world in their Hood , trying to prove something half the time. That can be more dangerous than anything however I do think there are measures they can take for people who are in the hole like they said giving them treatment and care and not just leaving them stuck in a cell for 23 hours a day that's the way to go , but if they break the rules violently they need to be put off to their self where they can calm the f*** down and not hurt anybody else. And what the guard was talking about with them wearing their tennis shoes and everything instead of just their flip flops or slides yeah they call that "suited and booted" usually she's 100% right, it does indicate something violent is about to go down ,like she said , no one wants to fight without good shoes and not being suited up as much as possible for protection n hidden weapons ,etc....., but honestly I think it has more to do with the TV cameras in this case LOL
This is America. When you watch the "writing on the wall" you see a picture TOTALLY different from the "hype." What you see is not by accident.

Why no one is talking about the Commissioner Joseph Ponte's take on prisoners. He definitely should be the one mandating on that place. He believes in humanity, change, and growth. I applaud him for doing his job and embracing it wholeheartedly.

Amen! I thought the same thing. You want their mental health proper before they get out. He's doing it right.
I’d like to know how he is. I was a Correction Officer 5 years 1984-1989 on Rikers. Prayers for all men to turn it around
Had to scroll a long way to find this comment! You're precisely right. That's a good man there who seems to be fighting a very good fight even though a lot of people disagree with him. I wholeheartedly believe he has the right idea. And like he says, what they're doing now is not working.
A good man right there.
@@jamesyboii100 Absolutely. Because whether we like it to believe or not there's a pretty big chunk of percentage of the prisoners that are bound to get back on outside world. And if the commissioners' of the jails are doing it right like Comm. Ponte, we will have a much better future to look at because the prisoners are taught and rehabilitated correctly. Therefore, when they got out of prison they'll no longer be who they are before jail. And I'd like to believe that there would be a pretty much high percentage of those ex-convict to get their life back together and will be a successful law abiding citizen.
My heart hurts for Murphy. Stay strong and positive Murphy.
This was heart breaking. The scenario repeats itself generation after generation. The
common denominator is the absence of a father in the home. Nothing will change if
men walk away from the children they create. In those cases these poor kids have no
chance to escape the poverty, drugs, and violence that engulf them.

Is Murphy alright? Y'all need to do a follow up. Pandemic or not, that was one of the souls on this video that was pure hearted and full of hope
Is gree
I agree**
@@brwnkd3795 WHAT ARE U FR??? OMFG
@@brwnkd3795 for real?
Looks like he’s still alive
Pray for Murphy i hope you read this one day Brodie just know you got fight everyday you cant give up you never know tmr could be the day you shine keep yo head up Murphy 💯
God Bless the young man walking through making sure no one wants to kill themselves.
The guy who killed the murderer of his sister should get a medal not 25 yrs. What a wicked system our justice system is.
GAME4WAR he didnt kill the murdered he killed someone moking the situacion and ......they were gangbangers
Thats part of the deal
No blood feud in America.
Albania he would be free.
samurai jack I think they specifically said he killed murderer , who happened to be the guy mocking her death. But yeah that’s possible
He didn't kill his sister's killer. He killed someone who mocked her death in a video. Either way, he was obviously mourning.
You think our system is bad....try our neighbors down south!
The last scenario with Murphy brought me to tears. I wish him well.
He was given 50 to life. But in state prison you only do about 33% or so. That would mean he could be out before his 40th birthday.
Ikrrrr
me too breaks my heart man
Ultimately he did the wrong thing… He didn’t kill the person that killed her, he killed someone for mocking her murder, so he didn’t even get revenge…. Yeah I’m sure it’s tough, but you got to be able to control yourself as tough as it may be sometimes because you just end up becoming what they are, stoop to their level, or become someone worse all together… he was acting that way bc he thought he had everyone fooled and quickly realized your actions have consequences… . All these stories are sad
The system FAILS these young kids smh 🤦🏽♀️ 4 years to wait for a court date for a none violent crime IS TF CRAZY 😤
Oh wow, I feel for Murphy. Caught in a bad situation and all came crashing down, may God hold him close give him peace.
RIP Kalief browder, PRAY for korey wise ✊🏽❤❤
Amarie Reyes 💯💯💯
Is that the white milf ?
I cried for Kalief 😢😢
Yes I'm also keeping Korey Wise in prayer too and RIP Kalief.

Franklin’s handwriting is so good lol. Some one was studying hard.
likewise
Ohhh yes!! I noticed that too .. it's unusual in this day
Fr
Or he could write good before hand just cause he's black and in jail don't mean he didn't have an education before hand. Some people's hands are forced you can be the smartest person in the room but money talks louder and as long as money talks everyone else is silenced.
Studying hard = good hand writing ? You can’t be this dumb
When you treat people like they are human it’s amazing what can happen.
I cried when i heard him say "I need someone to take care of me tonight" ...i hope murphy is okay...im so heartbroken
.."I'm a nobody.." no, no and no, you are somebody and you're a being ,who deserves a brighter future ...
Facts that is so true he is someone
Nah he’s a nobody lmfao
@@dz.7246 you are a nobody too troll
Thank you for caring 🙏🏾🦍🖤
That hurt my heart
My heart honestly broke for Murphy 💔
ohmypisces it got me when he said " I need somone to take care of me tonight"
And he didnt even have an attitude with Diane when she asked if she could say hello to him. He was still trying to stay positive. I know if that were me, they wouldve been the last people I wouldve wanted to see, in my face with cameras and everything. He really does seem like a good dude. I just feel bad that he is facing this time because he was provoked and acted on it.
So he’s guilty for killing his sister
Jay Clarks he didn’t kill his sister. If i remember correctly, they said something about killing the person who killed his sister
ohmypisces No, he killed someone who was mocking his sister's death.
Murphy a real 1. Hope all is well and freedom has been acquired. Stay up
I wish I could help the kids and families in the housing projects before it gets to this point. Praying for everyone and for guidance to help who I can.
Murphy is going to do good thing's in the future! He is a very encouraging young man and will change things and maybe even change the world
He goin do good things 25 to life?? or Maybe he meant to be there to help inmates make better decisions?
Bass Red The second one
Too bad his life is basically over
Murphy don't give up anything is possible in this world. I have faith you will walk out of there because your mission is not complete.I pray do alot of praying they work.
Boardingbryan I can tell...bless his heart😩💓
"i need somebody to take care of me tonight" hurt my soul. that boy needs warm love, not a cold cell.
So sad man. The system is broken z they gave him 50yrs . How can he be rehabilitated or even have any chance of any sort of life after that . They might aswell jus had killed him too.
@@manassehdawkins4826 yeah man the system isn’t about correction or rehabilitation. It’s oppression/punishment
Same! I literally cried at that interaction.
the person he killed needs warm love, not a cold coffin.
@@bkeen7013 that person shouldn’t of killed his sister
honesty murphy seems like a nice person ! he’s so sweet i wish him the best and i hope only good things for him!!
I feel sorry for that young kid Franklin he looks so vulnerable.Yes there are evil people murderers, rapist's but a lot of these guys never really stood a chance from the get go.
What happened to the right to a speedy trial? Waiting 4 years for a trial is not speedy. Innocent until proven guilty...If found innocent that's 4 years of their life taken.
Winnie Bryant-Jones ...I know!!..so sad!!..I BLAME THE U.S..GOVERNMENT!!..TRUMP AND EVERY JUDGE OF THIS LAW!!..THEY SHOULD BE ALL ASHAMED OF ALL THEMSELVES!..THERE RUINING LOTS OF GREAT INNOCENT PEOPLES LIFES!!..THATS ANOTHER FACT WHY THIS PLANET NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED!!..BY THIS MASDIVE ASTEROID THATS COMING OUR WAY!!..I HOPE FAST ENOUGH!..CAUSE THE PAIN ON THIS EARTH IS BEYOND TO MUCH THAT GOD HIM SELF IS FREAKING OUT!!!..ITS WAY OUT OF CONTROL TO SEE PEOPLE OF ALL RACES DIE AND SUFFER LIKE THIS!..INSANE!
Unleash- Hell Why is Trump the only one to blame this has been a problem long before Trump even Obama don’t put the blame on Trump because you don’t like him
Unleash- Hell
Dude Trump just said TODAY he sees a great need in prison reform and wants to help reduce sentences for certain people...especially those that don't have a celebrity voice helping them.
If you just have to blame someone blame BILL and HILLARY CLINTON!!!
Winnie Bryant-Jones bro ain’t no such thing as innocent until proven guilty for regular people especially black people it’s guilty until proven innocent if it were the other way around they wouldn’t lock people in cells before their trials
Speedy trials end up fucking you over especially if you have some serious charges. Of course it’s your right, because they know 9 times out of 10 you’re gonna lose.
Her touching that boys neck, that probably gave him so much comfort was probably like being touched by his mother... he almost looked shocked when she reached out..... the others almost had a look like I hope she touches my neck too.
I was looking for this comment.
I was thinking the same. She acknowledged him as a human being.
@@nancydrew1882 same
Thought the same. So sad seeing people throw their lives away, such a waste. Everyone has something to offer, some just don't realize it.
Sawyer is sheer class
I'm smelling Bam Bams story I hope everything works out for him. I feel his pain my story isn't similar but it involves pain. However he's changing his story from something negative to positive I love thattt.
Thank You Dianne Sawyer for this report, an amazing story indeed.
Does anybody knows if Murphy is alive & well? His story is heartbreaking and itll be a shame to lose such a kind hearted guy like him..
he's alive and well waiting on his appeal
Sad tale .... especially about his sister....😪 Waste of a life ...
Good to hear his still around ..
Steve Smalls do you know any info on him if i wanted to write him a letter??
@@pstacks1k write to the producer's that filmed this they will direct you ,or simply the institution ..should be easy ...
@Natalia and Winnie okay i will try!! Sometimes they’ll withhold it for privacy reasons but def worth a shot thank you!!
wish the best for Murphy and Franklin
Vanessa Toups murphy got life in prison smh
91booboo noooo :(
Let's all pray for Murphy and Franklin so sad😢
Serious question.
Who's project was the projects?
That’s deep Murphy’s doing 25 to life in a cage and he’s the one who looks out for everybody else in the cells, mother lost both they children now , Was setting goals for himself thinking about when he’d be able to start over turns out he’s not gonna be able to for a while.
I know its crazy isn't it that a judge sent him to jail for *MURDER*
Franny YNWA- Relax
doing 50 yrs
@@frannydarko2698 murder of some piece of shit murderer who mocked his sister's death. That's not that bad at all. It's not like he murdered an innocent person
I would love to WRITE HIM. OMG. ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO SPELL HIS FIRST NAME??!!!
Everyone talking about Murphy and his story is sad. But why isn't anyone talking about Franklin hope he's doing well.
People favour those who are attractive
@@ethangentle6289 awe really !!!
@@ethangentle6289 you sure it’s him?!?
@@ethangentle6289 that makes me so happy
Hope he’s doing well , but I think hearing Murphy’s story about his sister & seeing him in good spirits all positive one minuet then the reality crashing down on him after his conviction was really really sad . I looked into it an he got 50 to life and only was 20 years old .
The ending left me in 😢 I felt his pain.
Please keep building programs if a person is occupied with productive activities, it limits there ability to think about negative less productive stuff.
Dude I swear my heart hurt when Murphy was put on suicide watch
If he was on suicide watch, why did he have a sheet in his cell? That's usually against policy.
@@ms.rlsteele351 bed
Becky L he put it up and was then moved to suicide watch
The saddest part was when Murphy was charged for murder he seems like a bright guy always smiling positive damn that really got me
im hoping Murphy takes his own advice, i'm worried for him, bless his soul and his sister :(
He received 50 years, the system is broken
@@kpowers504 wait really he did? That's so sad

I feel for Murphy… to have someone you love murdered and then later see that person mocking that death… to have loved someone that much
This Murphy guy got me thinking, “damn this dude needs to be free reaching out to the youth.” He has that all love kinda energy. Man, my heart goes out to him. So sad, man. The system don't care about your lives. They'll chew you up and use you for labour in them prisons. They don't care.
Man, assholes like him are the worst kind of devil! they come to you with a smile. I bet he's doing the most extorting in there..
