The look of pure joy on his nephew's face.... so uplifting! I really pray he can get his health improved and address his mental health and substance abuse issues. He played ball around the same time my brother did for USC, will have to ask if he knew of him when we get together for Christmas. Thank you for the compassion you show the applicants who really seem to have made positive strides. My nephew is in Pelican Bay (arrested at 16 and given 46 years for a nonfatal school shooting) so I see it from both angles. Punishment is necessary, but so is getting these inmates the help they need to change the path their lives are on.
This was touching. I know all too well how depression can change the course of your life. But, I’m also a witness that God can take any situation and work it out for your good. God bless this man and his family.
This is why I love watching your videos. Not many would bother to look up his basketball career. Quite frankly they wouldn't care like you do!! Amazing video ty so much for his background. Depression anxiety can be so hard I know I have had anxiety so bad I can't do the simplest things. It's like I'm too afraid to even open mail. It's so frustrating to feel so paralyzed by fear
@@mandoo1396 I just understand why he would have been so depressed he couldn't function. It's horrible to be in that dark place. While I don't excuse his what was said was a massive drug selling ring..I do feel bad that his depression was so bad that it was the 1st thing that apparently took his life off track. There is such a bad stigma attached to mental illness. It can make it difficult to try and seek help I would think especially if someone is a successful student and basket ball player. I hope he is able to continue to get help and find some happiness from the depression. Ty for always being so kind about my long comments. Your content just really touches me.
@Manoo I am new to viewing court cases and parole boards for hours at a time. Something I have noticed about you is your compassion and diligence. You seem to really listen to the facts and don't have a pre-formed bias. I really enjoy the quality of your work ☺ .
WOW! The end tho!🤯 I loved seeing you smile about this one. 😉 He’s gonna kill it out there. Here’s to hopin he gets his health back and lives the life he was created to live!
My heart aches for this man. I am happy he got released; not only mental health he will need to be under the care of a doctor; he spoke really well; and this guy is an educated man. My 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼go out to him! Thanks Mandoo, I’m catching up on your videos, and you’re really ROCKIN‼️
Mando your Channel is the best one I've come across regarding Parole Hearings. You're in depth, detailed and spot on with your comments in my eye's. Thank you for the time you put in to research the backgrounds of the Offender you're showcasing. On a side note I absolutely love when your "Little One" comes running in the room towards the end. It's an added touch to remind other's that you're a Person just like the rest of us with real emotions. Your "Little One" IS NOT a problem or hindrance to this Subscriber and you shouldn't feel the need to rush him outta the room when it's so close to the end of your Video. Keep up the amazing work my friend ♥
@@mandoo1396 You are very welcome Mandoo. For me it's VERY important to inform the Content Creator's of the thing's you enjoy about their Channel and why you continue to follow them. So MANY people have the time to complain about this or that and bash a Channel but they don't seem to have the time to give positive input. My thinking is if you have all these negative thing's to say about a Channel then why do you continue to watch their Channel. My guess is that sometimes other's have a Crappy Life and express it outward by being negative to others INSTEAD of taking a close look within themselves to find the Issues and correct them to better themselves. Giving positive input to a Channel I think helps a Content Creator stay Motivated to continue to Produce Video's. I understand it's not easy to Maintain an Excellent UA-cam Channel. It's not like you just click on a Video and poof there it is. The time it takes to get ran by UA-cam and be approved isn't easy. They are quite picky and you can't say certain word's or do this or do that. It's a nightmare for many just like when you got shutdown. Good Grief what a pain in the rear. You're EXCELLENT with creating your Video Content and that's why I continue to RESPECT YOU AND FOLLOW YOU. Much Respect to you and your Family.
I am glad they approved it. Prison is for punishment, safety of society and rehabilitation. Whether he was selling because mental health or way to get money he has paid for the choices he made. Not just 9 years in prison but his decision and actions led to him losing just about everything. Career and education. Almost finished but after being in collage and coming close no degree. I wish him all the best
One thing I appreciate about you is you don’t have profanity spewing from your mouth. Thank you. There are many channels that I am a first and last time viewer with only one video because it is so unnecessary. Also, don’t ever apologize from the background of happy children. They sound precious. My one is grown now, and I miss those days so bad. The time passes QUICKLY, believe me.
Oh, that's exciting maybe he makes it home for Christmas. God Bless his nonviolent crime heart... He was ready to go get his uncle. Ya seems like he done good in ball.
It may have been a non violent crime but it is NOT a victimless crime I wonder how many young lives he has helped ruin by suppling them with drugs. If you listen to a court docket the majority of defendants have drug abuse problems which leads them into crime and a life full of misery. Just remember when tucking into your Christmas lunch there will be drugs addicts whose only thought is how they can get some money for their next fix, many will be of no fixed abode so lets not feel so sorry for this drug pusher FYI I will be helping to feed the homeless over the holiday fortnight as I do every year since my partner died and I see first hand the misery of drug addiction
This guy shouldn’t have been sentenced that long imo. I don’t understand why weed is, or ever has been illegal. Millions of people have been incarcerated over a plant that is far less dangerous than alcohol, and has so many medically beneficial properties. This man potentially has a great future ahead of him and hopefully he will be able to focus on his health at home where he can eat healthy and go out and enjoy life. He’s only two years older than me, and we are far too young to be wheelchair bound. Lol This case is one of those cases that leaves you with a great feeling.
"Only served 8 of 20 years. Doesn't sound like justice to me." For nonviolent dealing. These sentences are ridiculous. The hubris of the boomers on the panel never fails.
Glad he realizes has weight issue. If lose weight will help many issues. Sleep apnea may resolve and hernias and certainly lack of ability to walk will improve. He seems sincere and charges are non violent.
No they don’t have special beds for very tall inmates. Everything is the same for everyone, uniformity makes life easier when deal with a very crowded prison. They do maybe make exceptions in the med unit sometimes. Idk
Second offense, second offense, second offense. In a real world you would go to prison for life. They KNOW they're doing the violent work and they DO NOT CARE.
My ex husband was in the same situation he only got a few years I think it was 2. He could have gotten out a few months early but he said no he wasn’t ready because he didn’t want the restrictions so he served out his sentence
Some people do better staying sober NOT going to AA or NA. Sitting in a room full of other addicts talking about drugs or alcohol is more of a trigger than out of sight, out of mind.
His college numbers are decent. He was a starter I’m guessing for that season or maybe a 6th man, meaning the best bench player. Hard to say without him playing 3 or all 4 college years but a lot of these guys improve their game and get better as their careers progress. What could of been huh?!
Twenty years is nothing. Wow he was a drug dealer. Which is hurtful to a community. Seeing that ppl get off with a slap. On the wrist for murder. All the time he's done his time. For his crime his conditions. With release is ok for him to do. Seeing his time was coming so close. I'm glad they approved it.
How can you help others first you got to help yourself and I think a substance abuse meetings groups and mental health because that's plays A Part anything that plead the part in taking your life the norm away you got to get that clear in order to stay on the right track we all have tried contribulation but it's not what you have it's how you handle it
It shows how just one wrong turn in life, can lead you one spiral downwards. Sad. I do believe they should have gotten deeper into who would be caretaking him. He is pretty much wheelchair bound from his weight. It would take many to even lift him for bathing, etc. He will have family support, but their lives will now change to care for him.
Lol... And just What is a "progrum'?... I know what's being said... And it's just the pronunciation of the word ' Program'.... just having a little light moment 😊
In the facility I was in we ALL got a 3 in mattress on sheet metal frame bed. Medical issues did not allow for anything extra. In fact if you had a serious illness and couldn’t get a medical release then your sentence (usually less than 5years on average) just became a death sentence
@@mandoo1396 no my husband been in prison before this never happens. My neice is a correctional officer and my brother a cook. Smh That would be a lawsuit
My daughter goes to Texas A&M so this is super interesting for us to watch. What a sad case how he had so much potential at one point and let drugs take over.
@@mandoo1396 true, hard to say what the inciting factor was. Regardless it was a sad case. Thanks for sharing these stories. They are compelling to watch!
I think he may have a food Addiction in Prison he must have got a ton of Commissary!! He should also see a Nutrintionist and Try to get Gasric Bypass Surgery. Would get rid of his Sleep Apnia. And other health problems.
They never have to worry about this guy escaping prison. If he did he might run a few yards before he drops. You don't have to worry about him slipping through tight spaces. He might be able to escape over water since he is his own flotation device. He may be able to roll down hill and get ahead of the police. I absolutely do not feel sorry for this guy, I mean how do you get that fat in prison, what are we feeding prisoners in Louisiana.
@@mandoo1396 Great question.... I myself have listened to 20 seconds of a video and make a comment.. and after listening further had to scramble immediately and edit the comment smh....... READING IS FUNDAMENTAL AND SO IS LISTENING 💯
He's been eating his cellmates I'm not sure why going to church or being "spiritual is in anyway a positive point atheists make up less than 1% of the prison population in the US. As for his health problems maybe he should have sort help for his depression from the Dr's and laid off the food being that obese brings with it many health problems that he is now experiencing and while he has been granted parole he is going from one prison to another shackled by restrictions placed on him by his obesity.

Yeah. I really hope he finds happiness and health
Wow, what a difference. The drugs affected him in so many ways. I hope he talks to kids and gets them out of the drug culture. Sad.
"Only served 8 of 20 years. Doesn't sound like justice to me." For nonviolent dealing. These sentences are ridiculous. The hubris of the boomers on the panel never fails.
Wow he's a big guy.....they don't starve folk in that prison....😮
Clear he's getting his 3 squares a day ..... at least 3!! 😅
Loving these vids, keep it up bro 👍

How able to be part of zoom parole hearing?

Second offense, second offense, second offense. In a real world you would go to prison for life. They KNOW they're doing the violent work and they DO NOT CARE.
If someone is missing in that prison, take a look inside
My ex husband was in the same situation he only got a few years I think it was 2. He could have gotten out a few months early but he said no he wasn’t ready because he didn’t want the restrictions so he served out his sentence
Thank you for sharing. How did you feel about that decision?
I would assume he’s in the health center or whatever that prison calls it. The bed might be different
No jail can hold him, literally
Warden looks 26!
Drugs ruined his life big time.
thats a big one
@mandoo look up corizon and New Mexico doc lawsuits. That will give you an idea.
Will do. Ty

The drug conviction is too severe when people are killing people, raping people get less time. They need to change the law to fit the crime
Id tell them... Thanks.. But no thanks. I got 2 more months without any "conditional" stipulations.
He hasn't seen the sun set in 9 years. Slept on a comfortable bed, eat at your favorite restaurant. I don't think I could wait.
It appears he is depressed. Most athletic folk focus on both building. He turned to food for comfort. 😪
20 years for some dope?!!!
I think he may have a food Addiction in Prison he must have got a ton of Commissary!! He should also see a Nutrintionist and Try to get Gasric Bypass Surgery. Would get rid of his Sleep Apnia. And other health problems.
