>> the other guy was talking to me, distracting me, for just enough time for him to pick pocket me. and as i'm getting back in my car, i notice my money was gone. and my mind went frantic. me not knowing what to do in the heat of the passion got me sitting here today. >> manning says the men split up. so he got into his car and pursued one of them. >> i wasn't thinking right, i wasn't thinking straight, wasn't thinking properly. my whole idea was just to stay in sight of that one guy and call the police and just basically give them some kind of vicinity of the area we are in and i'm chasing the guy that just robbed me. that's when i accidentally hit the fellow. >> manning insists he never intended to run the man down. but police and witness reports say that when he struck his victim, manning had crossed the median and was driving in the oncoming lane of traffic and that his victim was running away from his car at the time. manning says he crossed the median in an attempt to keep the man in sight and then lost control when he tried to avoid

hitting another vehicle. >> i was actually going the wrong way. they used that to say i intentionally murdered somebody. i was indicted on felony murder, malice murder, and aggravated assault. i didn't want to take the chance in front of a jury. when you see those charges? when they come with a lesser charge like that? i took it. >> manning says that by accepting a plea of voluntary manslaughter he feels he is holding himself accountable for his role in the incident. >> i have to accept responsibility for my role in the accident, you know? i'm very remorseful about it. but, you know -- it was an accident. >> but this isn't the only current charge on manning's record. while manning was on house arrest before taking his plea deal in this case, he was charged with simple battery after an alleged fight with his girlfriend. he has pled not guilty. >> all of this stuff started caving in on me and i just woke up one day and just looked at it and lost it.

the inmates fail to obey his order. he calls for backup. deputy byrd and sergeant milton arrive to break up the fight. sergeant milton has a taser at the ready. but today he will not need to use it. >> let him go, let him go! >> let him go, let him go, let him go. >> come on, come on. >> found the three were engaged in fighting in the corner. as the other officers were clearing out the floor, trying to get everybody in lockdown, i went and tried to disengage each person from fighting. i gave verbal commands, they did not comply. so i jumped on it and separated them. >> we tried to ascertain from them what happened. of course nobody tells it, go by the jailhouse code, nobody told. i made attempt to talk to two of the guys but they said, i don't have anything to say. so right now they've been taken to isolation lockdown until we can do our investigation.

>> but manning, who's been in the jail for three weeks, witnessed the fight. he says it's part of adjusting to life as an inmate. >> we're getting our trays. the door and all you see is a couple of guys coming out of the room fighting. i saw punches being thrown, i saw feet being kicked. don't know what's going on, you don't know why fights break out. but you just have the sense of things don't be right. so you just stay out of people's business. i was scared because you don't know what can happen behind. it might be you watching one fight and somebody that don't like you might come up and fight you. while the officer's busy. only take 30 seconds to get hurt. >> this kind of sudden outburst of violence is something manning will have to get used to for at least the next five years. he recently accepted a plea deal of voluntary manslaughter for striking and killing a man with his car. manning alleges that his victim

had just pick pocketed him and in pursuing him he accidentally ran him down. the jail allowed us to give manning a camera so that he could record his thoughts on beginning his sentence. >> well, here i am. sitting here in my cell. don't have much. this is all i possess right now. it's a place where you really don't want to be. you know, i realize i'm in a bad spot in my life right now because i don't -- i don't enjoy jail. i'm not enjoying this time at all. it's so easy to get here. at the snap of a finger you could end up in a place like this and never get out again. and -- and it's hard to deal with that kind of situation. no matter how easy it may look, you may see a person smiling. smile just to cover up the tears. you know, i would like to take a

little bit of time and let the family know how i'm really feeling about it. you know, their lost loved one. i wake up. i think about the loss of that -- of that loved one. and it's in my heart. every day. it's in my mind. it's in my body. when i wake up, i see -- i see something that i can't change. this is my only way of showing that i'm sorry. and i apologize. and i mean, i wish i could take it back. if i could replace his life with mine, i would. >> manning is awaiting a transfer to prison to begin his five-year sentence. but it could cost him more than just his freedom. a felony conviction on his record will revoke the security clearance that he would need to resume working at the docks as a crane operator after his release.

>> i lose a lot. i lose a whole career. you know, it sounds selfish. but i'm not trying to be selfish. i'm trying to save my life, i'm trying to save my kids' life. because that's basically -- that's my life, my kids. >> like antonio bacon, manning has also asked the judge to grant him status under georgia's first offender act which would wipe his conviction from his record if he completes his sentence without incident. >> i'm really fighting for this. because it ain't worth my whole life. i just want the judge to just look at me for who i am. don't look at me as a crime or as a number. a case number. don't look at me as a case number, look at me as a person. i feel like i deserve at least a chance. coming up -- >> the judge read off the sentencing. i was shocked at first. i was like, wow. >> antonio bacon is sentenced. and not everyone is pleased. >> i don't think that's right. that ain't enough time, no way. no way. no way. for what he did?

at the chatham county detention center in savannah, georgia, rhett manning had recently pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter for hitting a man with his car and received a five-year sentence. manning's lawyer then petitioned the judge to give him status under the first offender act, a georgia law that allows some first-time felons to have their convictions purged from their record after they complete their sentences. now manning has returned from court where a judge has given him his answer. >> got some good news, bad news, no news? >> pretty good news and just got to figure the rest of it out. >> okay, that's good, that's good. >> best news, best news. >> basically the judge granted me the first offender's. that means when i've completed the sentence i won't be considered a convicted felon. not having a felony on my record

is very important to me because i have a job that requires no felonies. i have children to support, family to support, basically supporting myself. life after jail. so that's all i'm trying to keep, keep a little bit of life after this whole experience i got going on. >> while manning's judge granted him first offender status, antonio bacon is not as fortunate. he has just returned from sentencing after having been recently convicted on four counts of reckless conduct by an hiv-infected person. bacon had been hopeful that the judge would grant him first offender status then sentence him to time served. >> the judge, he denied my first offender. so that's the part that really made my knees buckle. i said, wow. i kind of felt my whole future was over. >> the judge then sentenced bacon to four years in prison and 16 on probation. >> the judge read off the sentencing, i was shocked at first. i was like, wow.

my first time being in trouble -- wow. you don't really -- he threw half the book at me. not the whole book but half of it at me. it's not at all what i expected to get. but just got to roll with the cards -- roll with the hand i've been dealt, make the best of it. >> bacon says the repercussions of the judge's decision to deny him first offender status will stay with him long after he's released from prison. >> if i come to a corporate interview, put in an application, that question says, are you a convicted felon, and i check that box yes, you know, and you decide i want to see what he was convicted off and i tell you, first thing you know it's going to be -- nothing. people that aren't convicted felons, doors of opportunity open for them. now i have a lot of doors that just closed in my face. >> bacon's fellow ad seg inmate eric kelly says bacon got off too easy. >> i don't think that's right. should have got more than that.

that ain't enough time. no way. no way. for what he did? no way. should have got at least 40. >> eric kelly, he was real, you still did it, i think you did it, i don't like you. i was, okay, i never said more than two words to the man. people like that, can't do anything about them. until you sit down and get know me, how can you judge me? >> i told him, yeah. remember you came your first time? when they drop the statutory rape? i said, yeah, you going to go to prison this time, you got four years. i say, now, now what you going to do? >> kelly, who previously served 22 years in prison, says he knows what awaits bacon. he also says contrary to what many might expect he wishes him no harm. >> enough inmates find out what he up there for, oh, yeah, they going to see about it. they want to come see about it. yeah. i hope they won't, know what i'm saying, kill him. i don't wish him no death,

nothing, know what i'm saying. used to. you know. but not now. i can't, know what i'm saying, wish no death on nobody. >> kelly says he's been trying to change his violent behavior and has taken his lead from a radio station he's been listening to recently. >> a christian station and a man preaching. as soon as it came on and say, who is you to judge another human being? you know? it's for god to judge. i'm hearing that on the radio. i said, let it go. every time i do feel that urge to hate, i say in my mind, lord, forgive me. this is about representing. i represent the lord, jesus christ, now. i don't want to go to hell. i don't want to go to hell, man. it's hot down there, you know what i'm saying? hell ain't for me, man.

the verdict is as follows -- >> an inmate faces a life sentence for the brutal murder of his wife. >> it's hard to believe it, this is all happening. >> all my tattoos, it's not a matter of how or when. you will get caught. >> another inmate hopes to graduate from the jail's strict substance abuse program.
