11:25 pm
tried to gouge his eye out. he said i was trying to reach inside. he had scratch marks. >> what was this about? what was the reasoning why? >> there's been -- no, there's just been some issues with timberlake and the heartless felons in there because timberlake does his own thing. he doesn't want to associate with them. and he just believes that the gang is ridiculous. >> still, timberlake is known for causing problems as well. >> timberlake has an anger issue, been there for a long time. we've dealt with him. we've had numerous lockups when i dealt with him. >> a little punk that's all. only the strong survive. you come in here like a little chump, run you to hell early. if you're strong and stand your ground, they know not to mess

county correction center lorraine green, currently in jail in drug possession charges has been in segregation pending an investigation from part of another inmate's claim she is part of a white supremacy gang. >> here i sit in the county freaking jail, the worst hell hole you could be in. >> at least today, green will get a bit of good news from gang investigator sam mclaren. >> we have to have something solid or proof and we don't have none of that. so we're going to let her go. case closed. >> green is moved back to general population where she can be around other inmates and have privilege restored. after moving in the new cell, she has come forward with a allegation with a male officer that confronted her in segregation. >> he said i was kicking -- he says don't me put my hands on you, i can show you how bisexual
11:32 pm
my hands can be. who are you talking to like that? that's a sexual comment he shouldn't have been. >> the officer in question, corporal mets, along with the female officer both deny making any such comments. >> make accusations and allegations. that one i still can't figure out that accusation. but, you know, we deal with it all the time. it's our policy here at the sheriff's department, interaction between male officers, female inmates, we always have a female officer with us during the interaction. >> after he was alerted to the allegation, associate warden ivey meets with green. >> i hear you have an issue you wanted to talk about. >> when i was in my cell in lockdown, corporal metz came in my room because i was kicking

11:43 pm
inside a holding cell at the cuyahoga county criminal courts building, 18-year-old tony goodwin is about to find out if he will be convicted for murder. goodwin's mother is already grieving for an older son who was murdered. she's hopeful she will not lose tony to life in prison. >> he's a great young man and strong young man. right now he's in a lot of pain and lot of stress and confusion. he's hurting right now about his
11:44 pm
brother. tomorrow is his birthday, jerry's birthday. >> your son who was murdered? >> yes. >> goodwin's attorneys acknowledge that he shot the boy who was killed by his wounds. the prosecutors would only accept the murder plea. in ohio the murder conviction requires precalculation but intent to murder and defense set out to prove it did not exist. they say two years earlier, when goodwin unexpectedly saw him, he shot him, not to murder but stop him from fleeing. he was struck in the buttock and fell to the ground. despite having a loaded gun, he then only punched grim in the face in order to break his jaw. they can only hope the jury will have understood the importance of this distinction. >> ladies and gentlemen of the jury, it's my understanding that you have reached a verdict, is that true?
11:45 pm
>> yes, your honor. >> grim's mother and other family members are also in the courtroom. >> thank you. >> all right, count one, we the jury in this case being duly empaneled and sworn, do find tony goodwin, not guilty of aggravated murder as charged in count one of the indictment. we the jury in the case being duly empaneled do find tony not guilty of murder. we the jury in this case, do find the defendant tony goodwin of firing a firearm, signed by all 12 jurors, that he did have a firearm on or about his person and displayed it and brandished it and indicated he used it to facilitate the offense and finally that the defendant did
11:46 pm
cause a substantial risk of serious physical harm to dwayne grim. ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is this your verdict? >> yes. >> goodwin was acquitted of the murder charges that could have sent him to prison for life. he is guilty of illegally firing a gun. for that he could get up to 14 years when he returns to court for sentencing. >> i want to thank you all. okay. >> all rise for the jury. >> court is adjourned. >> what went through your mind? >> there was a changed young man. >> are you scared? >> no. >> you aren't fearful about a guilty verdict? >> no, ma'am, honest to god, no. i was not scared. i was just was prepared. in god were to sent him down with 25 years, that's between god and him. tony know that. i was prepared. >> until he is sentenced, goodwin will remain in jail.
11:47 pm
>> everything be going good today. let's keep that positive energy and keep doing that. it's hard. >> it's all about the choices. >> when i got to the verdict, it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. i thought i was -- i wanted to look like, did he really say that? i was kind of shocked. i was just just waiting, i'm sorry i read this wrong. i was waiting. just thinking of getting let down. i didn't have a reaction. but i was happy though, for real. >> in a very different matter, associate warden ivey has also reached a decision regarding lorraine green's allegation that a male officer made an inappropriate remark to her. >> he says well, don't make me
11:48 pm
put my hands on you and show you how bisexual i can be. what is is that? >> ivey questioned the male officer and female officer with him when the comment was made. >> i want to see mrs. lorraine green in c pod. thanks. >> lorraine green. i'm going to see if she has additional witnesses to speak to because at the end of the day when you allege something you have to have witnesses and somebody for me to talk to and some way to prove the statement you're making. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm good. >> i'm okay. >> was there any witnesses that you would like for me to talk to? >> the only person there, me, your co, ryan and -- >> i spoke with the corporal and also spoke with the officer that was there at the time, corporal has read a statement saying at no time did he make any comments -- any sexual -- >> he did. i bet he did. >> let me finish what i'm
11:49 pm
saying. >> you guys are agreeing to each other. what is the sense of it. i'm looking like the idiot while your ceo agreeing with each other he never said it when he did say it. what's the sense of speaking more about it. >> it's over. >> i'm going to continue with what i have to say, when i'm done talking, explaining to you the outcome, then you at that point you're more than welcome to comment or more than welcome to do whatever you feel is necessary. >> i'm going to -- >> to resolve this. as i was saying, i spoken to the corporal and denies stating that at no time did he make comments of this nature to you. the officer that you said that was present during this has also read a statement stating the same thing. so if you have no further witnesses for me to talk to, there's no way i can prove what you're saying to be of any truth or whatever. i'm going to conclude at this point that the grievance is resolved.
11:50 pm
if you would like to follow with your attorney, whatever else you like to do. >> and i will and do a lie detector test too. >> whatever you feel necessary to do. >> you guys are sticking together and i respect you're the warden and everything, all i got your co and corporal in there. >> how do i prove it if i don't have witnesses. >> this is all a bunch of crap right here. because your corporals -- it's the code of honor. >> what can i -- it doesn't matter, i'll get me a lawyer. i already spoke to one. i'm going to get me a lawyer. i already talked to one and have lie detector tests taken, prove to you and your corporal how wrong they are. i got this. >> okay. >> i got this. >> any way, i'm done. have a good day. >> you too. >> take care. >> she's a very difficult person to even communicate with because she doesn't -- she wants to say
11:51 pm
what she has to say and see things her way and thinks that everything is a conspiracy and makes it perfectly clear how she feels about law enforcement and correction officers and things like that. as far as i'm concerned, i'm done with it. >> coming up. >> that was my son, my child, you lost somebody but that was no reason for you to carry a gun and shoot another person because you lost your brother. >> the mother of tony goodwin's victim implores the judge to give him the max.
11:54 pm
11:55 pm
so anything to stay away from this wreched ass place i will, i'll do anything to stay away. >> timberlake will remain in jail for a few more days until the proper paperwork is filed. but there are higher stakes on the line for tony goodwin. >> got sentencing today. >> yeah. >> nervous? >> a little bit. >> good luck to you. >> goodwin is on his way back to court to learn his sentence for illegally discharging a firearm. an act which led to the death of 20-year-old duane. he's eligible for 14 years in prison. >> i hope i get the minimum but i think i'll get the max. basically i think the judge don't -- try to get some sort of comfort, we'll have to wait and see. >> goodwin's mother and mother of his victim are also present in the courtroom. >> mr. goodwin, as you will recall in this case following a
11:56 pm
trial jury returned a verdict of not guilty on counts one and two. but guilty as to count three, discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises. before the judge announces his sentence, he asked the victim's mother, beatrice to address the court. >> shot him in the back. and they said you're not guilty. i don't have no -- he deserves the max, whatever he can get because it's not right. that's my baby. that was my son. that was my child. yes, you lost somebody, but that's no reason for you to carry a gun and shoot another person because you lost your brother. that's not right. that's no justice. and when you went really go down the road, i hope you get what you deserve because my son didn't deserve to be shot in his back.
11:57 pm
>> is there anything you would like to say before sentence is pronounced? >> yes, your honor, i would like to say i apologize for everything that happened in this case and apologize to every last one of you all for the situation that took place. i really want to say i'm truly sorry and with that, your honor, i would like to say i'm here today to take full responsibility of my actions as a man. >> we have a serious felony, what you did did cause the death of a victim in this case. accordingly, i don't think the maximum sentence is appropriate. and on the other hand, i cannot impose the minimum. i'm forced to compromise, keeping in mind your youth and lack of prior record an the fact you did cause the death here.
11:58 pm
i'm going to sentence you to lorraine correctional institution for six years. and to that will be added three years mandatory on the firearms specification for a total sentence of nine years plus court costs, you do get credit for the time you've been in jail and we'll have to calculate that. deputies, we'll have the paperwork done shortly. >> goodwin will return to jail until his transfer to state prison. for the victim's mother, nine years is not enough. >> i was hoping he would get more than nine years. when he go down that road, that's when the real world starts for him. you know what i mean? he's going to get what's coming to him. >> goodwin thinks prison could be a chance to turn his life around. >> i didn't have no life expectancy for me when i was out. it was just -- i feel like i wouldn't wouldn't be 18, living
11:59 pm
