this is a maximum security facility. these kids will do anything they can if they think that they can get away with it or if they think that they can get out. >> if he smokes marijuana it's because his friends give him marijuana to smoke. he's not responsible for anything. it's everybody else's fault. >> i was a high ranking gang member. >> what i'm trying to say is you admit to one or the other. admit to resisting arrest. man, i just spent a year of my

life incarcerated. >> calm down first of all. >> do you want to get out of here. >> jus lis. >> and do what i'm saying and we'll get you out of here. i just want to go home and be with my daughter. that was the whole thing i was supposed to do. >> how old is your daughter? >> 3. >> friday i was supposed to go to my girlfriend to see my daughter. it was like 2:00 in the morning that's when my ride came. cops was chilling on the end of the block and then he tell everybody get out of the car. so we all get out of the car, put our hands on the car and like he come back. he like whose weed is this? he was like you're going to jail for possession of marijuana i'm like how can i go to jail for something that wasn't in pie i my possession. >> you can't sit three people down and walk back and put it on everybody. >> i wasn't there.

i can't tell you. en an you're telling me this is money that you've earned in one week, two weeks or. >> no, that's money i had for like three weeks. i had more. i don't know what happened to it. one of the officers ripped me off when they were slamming me on the ground. >> eventually, you're going to do right. >> i am doing right. >> i know, but you're right here with us again. again. >> that's not my fault. >> this is not the first time that roddick's been here. usually when a child comes in more than once, it's a high percentage that he will be a repeat offender again. >> i've been here like three or four times. i did a whole year in boy's school. that's why i'm so nervous right now because i don't want to go back there. like it ain't nowhere that somebody will want to be. >> more than 3,000 kids pass through the juvenile courts in lake county indiana each year.

here consequences can range from a sleepless night in detention to the ultimate punishment for kids who keep coming back, boys school. >> going to indiana boyce school or girls school is the most restrictive place or restrictive punishment i could give them. you're in a prison. it's the worst thing i can do to them. >> some people it takes a big problem to open their eyes. just like for me, like i went to boys school and it calmed me down a lot. if you read my reports and everything about me, you would be like why would he be here now when we doing so good. like, i believe boys school changed me. >> he's done so much better than in the past. he was failing his classes. that changed. grades started improve. he starred working and unfortunately, when he hung around with the wrong crowd and you get blamed sometimes for things that you don't even do. >> big problem it's something i really didn't do this time. i'm black and i look like a thug

and i got pone in my pocket. that's what it is. >> they just think i'm a drug dealer because look at all that, man. come on, they think everybody selling drugs when they're back. it's not even like that. i work hard for everything that i got. >> you have to problem them wrong. >> that's what i do. i got a check for every dollar. no drug money. >> you have so much potential. >> you were doing so much better. you were doing really good. >> you're saying it like i'm honestly out there getting in trouble. like i was just going to -- >> i don't know what happened i don't know what happened. i don't know if you were out there trying to get in trouble. that's what the court system is there for to determine whether you're guilty or innocent. the fact of the matter is that he's been here more than once. so it is hard for us to believe when they're repetitive offenders. >> thousands of kids filter through the lake county juvenile center and each one of them has

a story typically about their innocence. >> this is a maximum security facility. these kids will say anything they can if they think that they can get away with it or if they think that they can get out. >> luckily for the intake and detention officers at lcjc, figuring out whether the kids are guilty or not is not part of the job description. >> there's no reason for us to know it. every kid is here to be treated equally and fairly. that's up to the courts and judges to deal with the crime as agent of it. >> after 26 years, you've heard so many stories. i've had so many kids tell me so many stories and, of course, there are those that seem very genuine. could it be a game? definitely. i've been burned before but there are other people in the courtroom that help me make decisions say the counselor that was present, the probation officer helped me. and listening to both sides really lays out for you what each kid has done or hasn't done and the good and bad points. at that point you're in court. it's the end of the road here. now it's put up or shut up.

you might as well do it now and tell the truth. >> did you have any problems with him? >> no other than he gave me the wrong name. >> and you're not going to charge him with false -- you've done that before, morris. you've already had charges of lying to police officers. it's better to be honest. so he was in somebody's apartment or just in the vicinity of the apartment? >> him and several of his friends were out smoking marijuana on the front porch of the cloisters apartment complex. >> are you high right now the? were you smoking marijuana today? >> no. >> he tells me he wasn't moek smoking. >> there was about seven of them out there. >> i'm just going to have the nurse look at him real quick to determine that he's not under the influence. they found him today because he was smoking marijuana with his friends and they ran all their names at first morris was lying about his identity because he knew he had a warrant. >> you didn't take any drugs? >> had p had you. >> you why are your eyes like that? >> liking what?

>> all slanty and red. >> they're red? >> they're red. >> we're going to need medical clearance. we can't accept him like this. >> she believed that he was under the influence of marijuana. >> all right. we'll be back. >> thank you. >> so prior to him being admitted to our facility, he will require a medical clearance. so merrillville police department is taking him to the hospital where they're going to conduct a drug test. so positive for marijuana? >> yeah. but we knew that was going to happen. >> uh-huh. >> do you feel any of the effects of marijuana still? no? >> he was released off of house arrest in april of this year. and then he failed to come to his court date in july. so he didn't appear in court. his mother did, his counselors did, his probation officer did, but morris was on run away status.

>> why didn't you go to court on the 24th? everybody else did. >> i was scared. >> you were scared. did you get a chance to talk to your probation officer prior to going to court? >> my probation officer, he was talking about sending me a place where i didn't know. that's why i didn't go to court. they send me for two weeks. >> the indiana juvenile courts have options other than sending young offenders to juvenile prison. kids can also be placed in a variety of rehabilitation facilities known as placement. for morris, his probation officer was recommending an extended placement in a facility where he can learn to manage his anger problems. >> i can't control my anger. i've been angry all my life. i was here because me and my mom got into it and i punched a hole in the wall. >> but it makes it worse when you don't appear in court. now you present yourself as a flight risk. do you understand that?

you just make it worse for yourself if you run away from your problems. >> five years ago, my grand mal told me, you keep frowning your face going to be stuck like that. >> wherever you go, we're coming. if they send you far, we're coming there too. >> can you pass a drug screen today? >> i believe i can. >> what do you mean you believe you can? this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira giving me new perspective. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems,

documenting the tragic stories that unfold in america's juvenile justice system with extraordinary access from the indiana supreme court, we've been allowed to take our cameras inside a world where they are, by law, generally forbidden. >> i've been coming to lake county juvenile since like, three oh five. one of them years. been coming here for a long time.

>> 17-year-old roderick is back in lake county juvenile after being arrested for marijuana possession and resisting arrest. according to roderick, he had been on a good straight and pharoah path working towards becoming an electrician, covering up gang tattoos and preparing for the rival of a second child. >> i know you don't want your son living the same lifestyle you live. >> when i got out of boot camp and found out i supposedly had a child it changed me. i just can't live for like gang banging. i was just going to go back to school and complete this last year and get on with my life. >> so you ready to tell me it you ready to leave the streets alone downward? >> >> roderick insists he is innocent. he says the marijuana was found in a car near where he was standing, not on him and that it is definitely not his. >> my probation sister told me a couple times i've been one of her best people. if i was doing so good, why would i let some marijuana mess up my life? >> a lot of the kids that come

here they're repeat offenders. core of them you lose. they end up dead, burned up on the railroad tracks, murdered. just random gunfire. if you can change one child, then you made a difference. >> these are kids who have seen things and gone through things certainly you know, beyond what most of us have ever experienced. so what i try and do is getting is the court to recognize that these are still kids and kids who have made mistakes, maybe more than a lot of us are used to but they are able to learn and rehabilitate. so my hope and goal with all of these kids is that the system works. and that we get them the help they need so they can go on and at least live a productive life.

>> i want to talk to you a little bit about what happened, then more specifically about our strategies go in going to court tomorrow in achieving hopefully what it is you want and that's getting out of here and going home. >> i want a lawyer. it's not fair for how you try to put something on me that's not even mine. >> well, it sounds to me like what happened with you is being in the wrong place at the wrong time. >> that's what i see but a lot of people not going to see that. they will know just because i've been in trouble before, that's not going to tep me. >> that's why we're talking now. i want to be able to distinguish what happened before versus all the progress that you made. >> now that i'm sitting here for nothing, it make me feel even worse like why do i got to go through this. when you try to do something good, it's like bad things stop you from doing good things. i ain't going to let this stop me. i'm still going to go to school to be an electrician, still going to take care of my kids and still going to be me. >> so the point is, they weren't your drugs.

they weren't on you. you didn't know those drugs were in the car. >> i didn't know they was in the car. >> when the police came, your buddy took off. you stayed. >> if i don't have anything, what's my reason to run? i should have went in the house. i wanted to do that but i'm not that type of person because i want to show people like i'm not no bad person. that's why i went back and just talked to him. but he got aggressive with me for no apparent reason. then he thought i was an adult because i got a nice gold chain. i came here nice clothes. he think i was a drug dealer. >> the number one goal i would have for any of these kids is they never end up in jail in the adult department of corrections. that's the ultimate goal is that these kids learn their lesson and never have to face a judge who's worried about how long do we lock this kid up for. >> i'm just going to pick myself up. that's all i can do. i don't mean to cry but i'm hurting right now.

>> this is not a place you want to be. our job is to get you out. the more stuff you can focus on of the reasons why you shouldn't be in here and you should be out taking care of your child, those are the things that we're going to want the court to hear about tomorrow. rod, you've convinced me tha you're certainly on right track with things. now our job is to convince the judge tomorrow. >> you do need some help with your anger. i don't think you're crazy but i think something inside is bothering. what you think?

>> last time morris was arrested, it was for damaging his mother's house in a fit of rage. upon being released, he ran away from home and failed to show up for his hearing. he was picked up yesterday for

smoking marijuana. and will soon have to face the judge. but right now, he must face his mom. >> so i can get out tomorrow? al. >> i don't know. do you think you should? why? you didn't do anything? you didn't go to court. >> i know. i was scared. >> you were scared? >> because they said they were going to give me two years in placement. >> you should have just gone to court. >> i'm going to court now. >> uh-huh. you don't have a choice. they told me they took you to the hospital. you test positive for marijuana. so you been smoking huh? >> i don't know. >> you don't know the? >> for stress. >> you feel like you need something to calm you down? that's what you should have been telling the counselor and the therapist if that's how you feel. that's what i'm talking about, the things you're telling me, you need to tell them. you may have a chemical imbalance. who knows? there's medicine for that. and people are not crazy who take it. >> i told people. it ain't going to help. >> how do you know? you can't go on with a negative train of thought. an what makes you get angry like

that? >> just how people do. >> even when people -- when things don't go your way, you stay angry. >> that's what i'm saying. being in here is going to make it worser and worser. i can feel it right now. >> you keep telling yourself it's going to get worse, then it is. >> i keep punching walls now. >> punching it for what? >> i don't know. >> have you been praying? why you crying? >> because i'm crying. >> you're what? >> i don't want to cry. >> you feel like you're going crazy? >> i know i'm crazy. >> you are not. i hate to see you like this. who do you want me to bring to court? nobody, just me? can i tell you something? i love you to death. but you do feed some help with your anger. some professional help. and i don't think you crazy.

you about i think something inside is bothering you. what you think? >> i want to -- >> you want to be with your family? then you're going to be with your family. wherever you go, we're coming. and if they send you far, we coming there, too. okay? >> i feel different when i cry. i ain't cried in a long time. >> it's good to cry sometime. it relieves stress. there's nothing wrong with crying. there's nothing wrong. >> after spending a worrisome weekend income juvenile detention, roderick prepares for his monday morning court date while meeting with his probation

fer. he will go into court with a team on his side but his long record will also speak loudly to judge bonaventure ra. >> this today is your detention hearing. the judge is going to look at if there's probable cause to believe you act committed the act of possession and the act of resisting. >> i feel like i've been working so hard but like and this is the first down fall il had since i been home. >> i know. >> i don't want to mess up everything that i've been trying to accomplish. because you know i've been doing too good, miss sarah even from school to being outside. >> and you're the one that said to me, remember what you said to me. >> you'd be on probation. it's going to help me out. that's what we did, right. >> but the biggest thing that he's done that the judge is going to commend him on is removal of his gang tattoos. >> yeah, he covered it up. >> so that's an admission he's turning his life around, he doesn't want the gang style anymore, doesn't want the gang

life. that was a lot to give up, his respect, his authority, his position within the gang. that's all gone. >> it's just i was at the wrong place at the wrong time. police was like where we found some marijuana. i was like well, it's not mine. he was like somebody got to go to jail for this. >> i told him some of the stuff i can't figure out for you no more. you get to a certain age, you got to do it for yourself. >> so what you're saying is like 99% of the time, he's fine. >> he could be outside at 2:30 in the morning, there's not much outside to do at 2:30 in the morning. >> but that 1% can bring him in here. 1% will say i'm going to go out at 2:30 in the morning. >> it's consequences. >> like i said, we'll go to court and talk to the judge and let her know how you've been doing but she's going to make that final decision. all we can tell her since you've come home till now how you've been doing. that's a good report. we'll see what she has to say

and we'll go from there. okay? >> thank you, sarah. >> at today's hearing roderick and morris will learn if they get to go home with their parents or remain detained in lake county juvenile while they will await their next court hearing. the judge will make the decision. >> there's two reasons why you order a child detained whether he's a danger to himself or others or there's an unlikelihood that he'll come back to court for the second hearing. if you find they are a danger, you detain them and if they're not, then you release them to the parent. >> brown. >> right now, i feel like i'm going to go home. like my probation know how good i been doing since i been home from boys school so i may go home today. hopefully. >> you ready, your honor? right this way, roger.

i'm todd pirow. the murder of two police officers is a particularly despicable act that goes back to the heart of our society. rafael ramos and wenjian liu were shot in their patrol car in brooklyn. the suspect ran to a nearby subway station and shot and killed himself as officers approached. the mayor ordered all flags at half staff. more news later. >> come on out. >> hey, morris, how are you? down ruck, i'll be your lawyer for today.

>> 17-year-old morris is locked up for possession of marijuana and more importantly for failing to appear at a former court attorney. he meets with his court appointed attorney. >> today the court wants to hear a little bit about what happened and make a decision whether or not to release you today. what do you want to have happen. >> i want to get released. >> okay. did you test positive for marijuana when you came in? >> you did. >> yeah. >> all right. the court's going to ask you why you were using marijuana. do you know how you'd answer that? >> yeah, i would tell them i was in a gang. they were smoking marijuana. >> one of the things i know is the probation department is recommending that you stay locked up. we have our work cut out for us. the difficult challenge as a public defender for a child is distinguishing between what's in the child's best interests and what the child wants because in every case, every child wants to get out of here but there's no question that as morris's advocate that i want him to go home and my preference is that

the children should be home with their parents supposed to detained in a detention center. >> you know you had a court hearing, didn't even come? i was scared. they said i was going two years in placement. >> so you run away. i'm not going to recommend tau go home. i'm try to keep you staying here so we can work something out here. >> it's not going to work, sir. >> something's going to work. you're not going to run around like a chicken with your head cut off. >> probation officer gordon fleming is convinced morris requires for time in the care of the state. his attorney will fight to see that morris gets what he wants, to be released home but it is judge mary beth ben na venturea who gets to decide his faith. >> i think i understand your testimony to be because morris is not as available or participating with these services to the extent that you

think appropriate, that he should just remain locked up? >> well, i'm basing that upon him running away from home. his mother not knowing where he is. and she was having a hard time controlling him and reasoning with him he has failed a couple of drug tests. morris has told me on several occasions that whatever i do it's not going to work. >> so had you previously recommended that he undergo anger management, and you had recommended family counseling and counseling services. why don't we let it work itself through some more. let this counseling before we say the answer is to keep him locked up. >> that would be fine but morris has tended to befriend some young men, one for instance who was shot the other day in a drive by shooting. young people he's been associating with. i believe it's safer for him to be here to work with morris. >> now it's an issue of him being safe? >> that's one of the issues yes.

>> okay. that's all il have, judge. >> anything else? >> mr. fleming, the main issue is you fear that morris won't be present for future hearings? >> yes. >> and that's based on his past behavior. >> yes, ma'am it, absolutely. >> no further questions, judge. >> morris when you didn't come to court on july 24th, did your mother come? >> yes. >> have there been other times when you leave the home without your mom's permission? >> yes. >> when you go to school, do you go to school every day? >> yes. >> your an endence is perfect. >> yes. >> could i have a brief minute with my client. >> be honest. i'm telling. she's going to have all the records from your school. listen to the question and answer it honestly. don't make it worse. >> anything else? >> no, judge. >> all right. mr. republic? >> judge, i would call morris's mother angel to the stand, >> if the court were to

decide that morris need not be locked up any longer, would you be willing to have him released to your custody? >> i'm always willing. but i just wonder if that's what's best for him. >> well, do you think it's best to keep him locked up? >> here, no, i don't. but as far as what helps, i know that there is a problem and he does need some help. >> does he recognize there's a problem? >> yes, he does. >> why do you say that. >> he does admit there's an anger problem. >> do you think it's appropriate that he go home with you? >> i'll try. that's what you want to do? >> i'll try. >> after listening to all the arguments and assessing the

witnesses, i would say at that time mother, mrs. moseley certainly gain her heartfelt testimony and i could feel for her as a parent when she said she's willing but i also think what she didn't go on to say which i think she would admit to is he's a little bit of a handful for her more importantly he's out on street doing dangerous things. we all know when you lay down with dogs you get fleas. this young man has been living on the street or doing something he shouldn't be doing all because he was afraid to come to court. for those reasons, the court is going to order he remain detained pending his next hearing because there's an unlikelihood he will appear for a subsequent hearing. are there any questions? all right, then this hearing's adjourned. thank you. >> want to say anything to your mother? >> i see you at 1:30. >> i. >> it's okay. i'll see you at 1:30, all right? you're going to be all right. i'll be here all day every day. i love. >> i love you too. >> hang in there. >> i certainly understand why

the court did what it did. there's not a solid support structure in place where this mother says i'm going to take care of this problem. while i certainly was advocating for him to go home and would have liked to have seen that, i understand the court's decision. >> with so much testimony pushing against morris's release, the judge decides he should remain locked up until his next court hearing. roderick, on the other hand, is coming to court with his own cheering section. but will it be enough to sway judge bonaventure ra. >> he actually asked me to stay on probation throughout the summer until his 18th birthday at his last hearing because he felt the extra supervision from myself would really help him get through the smir to ensure that he would be able to stay on the right track and in almost seven years, i've never had a juvenile ask me for that extra time with probation and with the therapist. they want to get off, get done and call it a day. he looked me in my face and said can you please stay with me on

my case, let me stay on probation with you so that we can get through this? >> can you be more specific about the level of improvement that you've seen in the past year of working with him? >> he had an allegiance with a street gang and there was a lot of respect that he got with the street gang, a lot of authority with the street gang and position. and recently, roger has terminated his association by removing the tattoos on his arm which is a measurable feat. >> how significant of a step is that for somebody who's been affiliated with a gang to remove the gang signs from themselves? >> a monumental step, a remarkable feat. >> do you believe it would be safe for him to be released to the care and custody of his mother. >> yes, i do. >> thank you, that's all the the questions i have. rod, what brings you here today. aware being karnledded with he ever resisting law enforcement. are you going to cooperate with the prosecutor's osts in identifying the person whose marijuana it was. >> i will do that because it's not mine.

i'm not going to jail for nothing that's not mine. i've been working too hard this year. i have improved my whole life. my mother told me a long time ago when i was at boy's school if i ever in my life from now till the time i'm dead, did i ever got locked up she wouldn't be here now. and you know i felt that's why i know my mother believed me and she will know the truth. that's why she here today. >> that's all i have, judge. >> i have a question. rodrick, have you been having drug tests while you've been on probation? >> yes, ma'am. >> can you pass a drug screen today. >> i believe i can. >> what do you mean you believe i can? >> i believe i can. i do it any other time. >> okay. all right. you can have a seat next to your lawyer.

>> did you smoke marijuana the last 30 days or not? >> not that i know of. >> sounds like you're going to get comfortable here. >> so your mom knew where you well, i commend all the y oe in the world increases, new players in new markets face a choice: do it fast and cheap. or do it right. for almost 90 years, we've stayed true to the belief that if you put quality in, you get quality out. it's why everything we build, we build to last. build on progress.

monitor. if he's dirty, he's going to stay here. >> what's it going to be? >> hopefully i'll go home. >> hopefully go home. did you smoke marijuana of the last 30 days or not. >> not that i know of. >> sounds like you're going to get comfortable here. it's either yes or no. >> smoke marijuana in your sleep. >> huh-uh. >> i'm not worried about it. completely. i'm going home. >> it has been 21 days since judge bonaventure ral decided to keep morris detained at lake county juvenile while the pro basing departments and court determine what is best for him. >> today he goes back to learn his fate. >> i will talk to the judge right now, i'll tell you, i'm trying to do better. i know i got a problem. if you send me home and trust me, i'm going to show you -- >> morris, you remember some

time back, we went through a detention hearing where you talked about your background, your history and what you wanted to have happen, correct. >> yes. >> we're not going to go through all of that for today's hearing. all i want to know is what you've learned since you've been locked up. >> since i've been detained i learned how to control my anger. i would like to go home with my family. >> can the court and can your mother believe you right now when you're saying that. >> yes, and my father. >> can you look them in the eye and tell them that that you're going to fully comply with everything. >> i'm going to do better. i'm trying to my life. i got a problem. i admit it. >> what's your problem? >> i have an anger problem. >> that's all i have, judge. >> anything. >> you said you couldn't go to

your therapy appointments because the therapist came when you were sleeping. she same too early. what part of your smoking marijuana played into that. >> i don't smoke in the morningtime. >> when do you smoking? >> tell you the truth, probably around in the afternoon. >> how did your running away from home in july until mid-august prevent you from meeting with your therapist? >> i didn't run away. >> so your mom knew where you were at. >> no, she didn't know where i was at. >> so you were a runaway. >> her boyfriend see me. my sisters see me. i would come home. i would spend the night down stairs. she wouldn't even know it. >> you're telling me people in your house knew you were sleeping in that house at night when there was a runaway report out for you? >> is that what you're telling me? >> yeah. >> and they didn't tell your mother you were in the house? >> they told her but she ain't. >> thank you. no further questions.

>> mr. ruck, anything else. >> all i would say, judge, is that being locked up, sitting here does something. i believe it has for morris. i would suggest that we move in increments. we move in increments from where he was was no real restrictions just you need to do what we're telling you to do to now we're going to put a bracelet around your ankle before we jump to the most severe conclusion, the recommendation he be shipped away from his family and brothers and sisters. i would just ask that the court give some credence to what he said on stand today. >> judge, we've heard that morris has done some soul searching while detained for the last three weeks and apparently has seen the light. i'm not sure what light it is he's seeing. what i've heard is a person sill not taking responsibility for anything that he does. he's not going to get services unless this court takes him and puts him in a place where he can receive services and he desperately needs services. i think that probation is a recommendation for placement should be followed.

>> listen to me and do what i'm saying. >> you admit to one or the other. if you don't want to admit to maine, deny that. admit to resisting arrest. >> >> we've got a young man punching holes in the wall. this is a difficult case for . so,you call your insurance company, looking for a little support. what you get is a game of a thousand questions. was it raining? were your flashers on? was there a dog with you? by the time you hang up you're convinced the accident was your fault. then you remember; you weren't even in the car. at liberty mutual we make filing a claim as stress-free as possible. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance

. this is a difficult case for me for a lot of reasons. i think this is a mom. i think from last hearing she said i am always willing. that's a great mother. at the same time she acknowledges and admits that maybe he is not ready to come home. we have a young man punching holes in the wall, abusing drugs and left home for six weeks to

avoid his mother. that worries me that he is going to put himself in a situation that's going to become dangerous for him. for all of those reasons the court will order that he be placed at the academy so he can return home sooner than later. this hearing is adjourned. thank you. >> say good-bye to your parents. >> i think morris is a stinker. good luck. and i think he gives his mother a run for her money. he is not to the point where he is a danger to other people, so i don't see him as a hardened criminal at this point in his

life. it's my job to make sure he doesn't get to that point. >> i brought you a visitor. how are you? >> two weeks ago the judge sent him back to detention to await the rultesults of of a drug tes >> can you pass a drug screen today. >> i believe i can. >> what do you mean you believe you can? >> i believe i can. i do it any other time. >> it was an unfortunate end of a day. >> i am working to get some type of agreement that gets this disposed of. the prosecutor was recommending

120 days locked up here. old on. hang in there. i want you to get out of here. >> i don't want to be here. they supposed to be helping me they ain't nobody helping me, nobody. >> calm down. >> i just spent at year of my life incarcerated. >> calm down, first of all. >> listen to what i am telling you. here is what she has agreed to do. you are charged with possession of marijuana and resisting arrest. you admit the allegations of one, they will dismiss the other. then we can argue to the court whether you can be released. >> i'm not going to admit to something i ain't even do. >> i am trying to get an

agreement for you that gets you out of here. >> roderick's mother and attorney head off to court, still unsure of what he plans to do. >> you never know until somebody walks into court and faces the judge how they are going to react or what they are going to say. >> whatever decision roderick makes in the next five minutes, it will likely affect the direction of his entire future. >> mr. brown, i have heard all the testimony today about what people think should happen to you. what do you want to have happen? >> i understand i resisted law enforcement. being in that room for two weeks got to me. i know i tested positive for maej. i thought i was going to be clean by the time i came to

court. >> people saying using a little bit of marijuana isn't like shooting somebody. downs the significance of that one use of marijuana what it had on your family, your life, and the underlying charges you had pending against you? >> i take responsibility for my actions. i feel like i let them down, my mom. i just wachnt to go home and ta care of my responsibilities. >> do you remember the judge asking you about a drug test? >> i do. >> so you were trying to put one over on the judge, right? >> no, i thought i was going to be clean, so that's why i didn't say yes and that's why i didn't say no. >> so you were hoping you would get by with it. >> not necessarily, you knew you were lying to the judge.

>> judge, hold on. i am going to object to that. the question the court asked would he pass a drug test. >> i will sustain the objection. >> i have a couple questions. you had tattoos removed >> yeah. >> what kind? >> i had gang tattoos, a scripture on my arm. i have knew i was going to do better in the life. that's why i removed the fwapg tattoos. the gang is not helping me right now. >> is there anything else you want to tell me today? >> readiless, when i get out i am going to be the positive perch that i became, because i like the person that i became. >> there is a whole bunch of stuff i could say to you. i know it was huge to remove the

gang tattoo. no one that i am aware of that's ever done that and sat up on the stand and testified that you have done it, knowing you are going back out to the same city and take your chances. you are like this close to succeed and you are so afraid of that. apps easier for you to fail. think br the hearing and whether you are a good person or you are not. the only person whose opinion matters is mine. the court is going to order that you serve 30 days in the juvenile center. i will give you credit for the time served. i will release you to the custody of your mother. >> may i hug?

>> sure if they wouldn't to doed it . >> you like being out? >> even though he did testimony dirty for marijuana and was arrested, i don't want that to wipe away all the good he has done over the past year. >> it's the last time i will see you. >> that's a good thing. >> i will be 18 tomorrow. >> excellent. >> he was locked up for two weeks. he paid the price for coming here with a dirty drug screen. i think he got that message. he needed today somebody to say to him i believe in you. i felt it was the right time to convey that message to him.
