>> well, i can see that. but i'm not everybody in here. >> i know. >> there is a lot of people hating on you, saying you need to chill out, okay? >> okay? >> eat. i think mainly what it is, is people are not liking the fact that she killed her father, and she is finding it -- don't get me wrong, danielle, because i love you with all of my heart. she is finding it easy to talk about. if i shot my dad ten times in my head and there is more to it than she has told me, if it is true, i couldn't sit here calmly and talk to you or anybody else. couldn't do it. but, she is -- i'm not her. i didn't experience it. and i hope to god i never do. but that is why they're hating on her, trying to figure out how she can sit here and talk about it over and over. and it don't bother her. >> anything that was said today,

like questionable if i can continue to trust her or not, because of all that was said. it caught me by surprise, like i wasn't expecting anybody to start talking like that, before i started talking about it. >> are you okay? >> i think i'll just keep to myself before i leave. stay out of the way, stay out of trouble, avoid people, everything. >> i think i'm just trying to toughen you up in case you do go the prison. because when you do go to prison, it is going to be a lot harder, and there isn't going to be somebody who takes you in and look out for you. you need to prepare yourself. you seem very, very upset with me. >> no, i'm just eating, and i just woke up. >> the next time we checked in with karmac, she informed us she no longer wished to speak on camera. and while her relationship with lechte seemed frayed, anthony

wanted to change his opinion. he was recently moved to a more secure cell after threatening to throw a cup of urine at an officer. >> normally mr. kimbley never gives me a problem. i was actually surprised to find out he was kicking the door and threatening to throw urine. >> kimbley says he has been upset over the recent death of his father. >> i understand you have been upset over some personal issues. >> i just needed somebody to come sit down and talk to, i couldn't just talk to anybody. >> right, it is a very stressful time, especially when you lose somebody. and you can't leave to go do anything about it. and you can't leave to comfort your family. it is hard on you. i just feel like putting you in here is giving you some peace and quiet. >> i just feel like --

>> punch them out if you need to, because you're not going to hurt your hands or feet doing that. not like you would kicking this steel door. you know, one thing that i could suggest that you do is you need to get paper ready. you sit down and write all of your stuff down on paper. it helps a lot, trust me, it does. because it helps you really get it out. put it on paper and you can actually go back and read it. >> i never thought about that. >> yeah, try doing that. your thoughts, everything you feel. >> that is like writing a story. >> yeah, like a story, it is a nice way to put down the feelings that you have. >> and you will come and read it? >> yeah, i'll come and read it. >> appreciate you coming to me. >> you're welcome.

do. but at the same time, i just want to know, you know what i'm saying, if you could do anything different what could you have done? what you thought you could have done different. >> there would have been a whole lot different. i would have chose a different route so you wouldn't end up in the situation that you was in. same footsteps as me and your uncle. i'm tired of every time i look up you're in the hole. i'm sick of the fighting. i mean, that bothers me. i'm saying i know you're going to handle your own. but i mean, never knowing when something serious is going to happen to you. i'm saying that's frustrating. that's very frustrating. >> i mean, it's frustrating to me that you just got 30 years. you know? and then, you know, we always had a friendship, but we ain't have a father/son relationship. and it's like, you know what i'm saying, when you're locked up you talk a whole lot of sense. you don't want this, you don't want that.

but you ain't never demonstrated that. if we was both to get out today, what do you feel you could do to help me? even if you don't ever get out. you got 30 years. they offered me 30 years not too long ago. what would you do to help me to be the man you never was or you that wanted to be. let's say i'm willing to listen or learn -- >> you act like i ain't never tried, though. i'm saying -- >> explain to me. >> even when i lived with you. >> we fought almost every day. >> if i whoop you, what was you doing? you try to make it seem like i was just off the muscle fighting you. no. i'm saying you weren't minding period. you didn't mind nobody but your mother. so what am i supposed to do? >> did you expect anything different? >> no. i never expected anything different from not being there. >> i ain't never really been loved. like i remember the first christmas we had together. you remember that? >> mm-hmm. >> you started crying. >> it wasn't the first christmas but -- >> the first christmas. the first time we really spent christmas together. >> yeah. >> i feel like i -- i ain't

never talked about i was a kid, i was probably about 12, that was the first time i ever thought you really loved me. other than that i ain't never had -- i don't know what the hell love is. i rather not have shoes, clothes, all that materialistic [ bleep ] and just have my mom and my dad. that's just how i feel. i wish i would have had my mom and my dad. and i feel like i would have been all right. i would have had some morals and some principles. you know what i'm saying? that's why i'm so angry. because of stuff i never had. >> moments later edmonds jr. brings up his father's recent relationship with another woman and her young daughter. >> and you on the phone telling her you love her -- >> i wasn't even talking to her. >> you love her and her child. >> i write you every day -- hold, hold. >> i'm trying to finish. >> no, no. because you ain't going to go through all that. i write you every day through the work days. and every letter i write you i tell you i love you. there's not one letter you wrote me telling me you love me. not one. don't try to make it seem like i

told a little girl i love her and -- >> that's the thing. you told her, period. >> i'm saying what do a child got to do with it? >> that ain't your child. >> it don't matter. >> you weren't there for me when i was 6 and 7. >> i was there. you were out when you were 7. you called another man daddy. so i'm saying who's supposed to be getting mad? >> who was with my mama when you went to penitentiary? who was with my mama when you went to penitentiary? >> look, i only did this interview because they said you want to do it. i'm saying for real, bro, we ain't got to go through this. >> i ain't give a [ bleep ] about this interview. >> he's trying to make it seem like it's just his -- >> brian sr., he's angry. >> he's supposed to be. i mean, i get frustrated when i think about it because i already know that the majority of the situation got something to do with me not being there. it's hard knowing that he could possibly end up with the death penalty.

it's hard to even think about it. i always wanted to be there to help him. but i mean, which is sad to say, i let his mama basically run me away. and for a long time i had a grudge against her because she had another baby. so when i did get out, that's what was really stopping me from any -- you know what i'm saying. even being around him. because of that. and i should never have done it. but i felt like that was the only way for me to get even with her. and then when i got out and he was calling him daddy, it was real touching. >> did you blame me for that? >> no. i blamed your mama. i mean, i'm sorry that i was never a father figure, you know what i'm saying, and just being your friend. i wanted it so bad because like, you know what i'm saying, honestly in my heart i didn't want you to end up here with me. i mean, you might think that i'm just saying this for the

cameras. for real, [ bleep ] these cameras. i only did the interview for you. you feel me? i only did it so i can have this conversation. you know what i'm saying? this is affecting me way more than it's affected you. because i know that the majority of this is only because i wasn't there. >> that's all i wanted to hear. that little bitty piece right there. this whole conversation, that was the only piece i wanted to hear. the only piece i wanted to hear. i'm no longer mad at him. at all. i swear to god, i'm not. now that we've realized this is -- you know what i'm saying, we can get over this bridge, you know what i'm saying. some father/son stuff. if it's from jail cell to jail cell, it's still possible. you can still -- if i was to get out and you had to stay in you could still make an impression from jail. i don't know exactly how. but you know what i'm saying, ain't nothing impossible. you owe me to try. that's the only thing i'm going to say you owe me. i don't blame you for nothing else. you owe me enough at least to put in an effort. i don't care how stubborn i am.

you owe me that. and that's all i ask. >> let's wrap it up. >> yeah. >> i love you. >> i love you too. >> i don't know really what to say. i'm satisfied, though. honestly in my heart, you know what i'm saying, i ain't mad at him. ain't no hard feelings. ain't no none of it. i feel like he was sincere about it. that part of being a man he didn't know how to do. so i know he know he's wrong. and that's all that matters. i don't care if nobody else in the world knows. we really know. i'm cool with that. >> all right.

due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. >> the screaming and the pounding and everything, for them it actually is quite normal. >> 210, baby. what's up? >> they have nothing better to do and they think they're some kind of gods or something. >> an up-and-coming gang takes on the old guard and pits two friends against each other in an act of blood-sport. >> if me and him didn't fight they were going to stab both of us. >> he struck me several times in the left side of my face. as he was striking me i was
