8:16 pm
gang called the spanish disciples provided protection for him in school. he eventually became a member himself and discovered that his disability provided no exemption from gang violence. >> i got stabbed five times to my head with a screwdriver. this was sustained from that, too. i got other wounds in the back of my head. i got stabbed 12 times in my back, punctured a lung, and i was a rival gang member. i have a big chunk missing from my stomach where i was shot. they had to move part of my stomach from being shot. it's worse getting stabbed than shot. i'd rather get shot than stabbed. >> another gang member danel hill could now have a disability as well. he's recovering in the jail's medical clinic following an assault by rival gang member regelio soto. >> the doctor said probably a little bit loss of vision. but other than that, everything is fine. >> two days earlier, surveillance cameras captured

8:18 pm
he has pled not guilty. hill says he was in soto's housing unit for two days before the attack. >> i didn't know, i've never seen him before. in ray gang, things just happen some time. i don't know what it was for: comes with the life-style. i think that every day this is going to be it. i don't know if i'm going to live to see the next day, but some make it and some don't. >> hill receives daily treatment for his burns in the jail's medical clinic. >> yeah, you're just having fun now. >> stop it. >> i'm trying to clean it. we don't clean it, it could get infected. >> i know that burn is going to take a long time and he's being really tough. he's acting like it doesn't even hurt him at all. he's saying he doesn't care. he's tough. i don't know how he's doing it, but i couldn't. >> it's a lot worse than i thought.
8:19 pm
how are you doing? my burns worse than you thought it was? >> not the burns, but just -- >> the doctor is the jail's medical director. >> did you pass out at all when this happened? >> no. >> the degree of his burns are first and second degree. it looks really bad, but the reality of it is that's probably no worse than someone who goes out in the sun for a very long time and gets a really bad burn. the first and second degree burns usually will heal without leaving a mark in most individuals. >> dr. butros is more concerned with hill's right eye which took the brunt of the hot coffee. >> your right eye, you can't see? >> it's a little blurry. >> open it up a little bit. he did have some significant injury in his eye. without a microscope, you can actually see the burn on his eye. his eye is extremely dilated and it's not reacting very well right now. that's a result of the trauma from getting hit. >> can you see okay out of this eye? >> yeah. >> open up this one for me, both eyes. >> his left eye will heal fine.
8:20 pm
can he see out of it. it's the eye he's having loss of vision in is the one we're concerned about. can you see light? you can see a finger. >> yeah. >> he's going to need some close follow-up with the eye doctors to make sure his eyes heal appropriately and we give him the best chance to have full function down the road. >> this doesn't hurt? >> it's just a burn. >> he says he will not press charges against soto. >> i tail that will follow you, pressing charges can get you in trouble. it's just the way it is. comes with the life-style. >> from what i know of that life-style, there is usually retaliation. >> could be. >> donnell hill, you don't know the man you threw hot coffee on and beat up?
8:21 pm
>> no. >> following rules laid out by the cerenos, soto agreed to speak with us only in the presence of a senior gang member who would monitor the interview to assure he would not reveal any confidential information about the gang. the senior member requested anonymity. >> can you tell me why you would walk up to a complete stranger and throw holt coffee on his face and beat him up? >> no, i can't talk about that. >> why hot coffee? >> i think we're on the same subject. >> why not just walk up and punch somebody? >> just a minor -- not minor, but misunderstanding between two
8:22 pm
parties. >> but you don't know him. >> i was with him in the pod for a couple days, i'm pretty sure a few days. >> the district attorney could decide to file criminal charges against soto with or without hill's cooperation. jail officials have also given him 25 days in disciplinary detention where he will spend up to 23 hours per day locked in a single man cell and lose most privileges. this is the 6th time soto has been in detention given the 16 months he's been here. >> two for battery, two for ag battery, and one for i guess advancing aggressively towards a deputy, which i think that was b.s. >> 6 1/2 years earlier at age 16, soto attacked another rival gang member, but with fatal results. he stabbed a man 79 times and was sentenced to 50 years to life in state prison for murder. soto has been transferred back to the jail in order to challenge that sentence under
8:23 pm
provisions of a new state sentencing law. he doesn't believe his disciplinary record in jail should affect the outcome. >> fighting doesn't mean i'm going to kill somebody. there's a big difference between one and the other i would think. >> coming up. >> i see you have some ink on your stomach. can i see it? >> deputies take a hard look at regelio soto. and -- >> y'all got this thing in here that you're not going to snitch on nobody. >> pastor tina's sermon hits a nerve with marquel dean.

8:27 pm
powerful gang leaders, has left gang banging behind him. >> in jesus' name, amen. >> dean had recently been sentenced to 20 years in prison for theft, assaulting a police officer, and seven counts for failing to register as a violent offender. dean was transferred back to the sedgwick county jail to stand trial in the neighboring courthouse. eight years earlier, he faced a different murder charge, also for allegedly shooting a man at a party. >> nobody ever said i shot or did anything, you know. i guess they just seen -- found out that a gang member was there, you know. they pinned it on me. but i sat in here for a whole year. >> man, he hit the ground and the lord said, you just spun out of it. >> during that year dean got to know pastor tina who predict what had would happen with his
8:28 pm
case. >> gaz god sets you free. >> i prayed for him. i laid hands on him. when i laid hands on him, the spirit of the lord said, you will not do the time they are trying to give you. service went on as usual. he prayed, cried, the whole nine yards. true enough, several months later he got released. god let him go. >> she got a word from god that i was going to go home. i was sitting here not knowing if i was going to ever go home, you know? that case ended up getting threw out and i went home. >> if you stand up and profess you belong to god and think you're going to walk out these doors and walk away from god, i guarantee you, i'm going to see you back. because the devil is going to do everything he can to bring you back into bondage. and that's what happens over and over and over until you get sick and tired of being sick and tired. >> after dean's release, he attend pastor tina's church on the outside and even did some preaching there. >> marquel, one of my star students, because god has always had his hand on this young man.
8:29 pm
he just didn't know it. but god goon speak in him and god began to groom him and get him ready and he did what he's supposed to do. he got out of here and he came on to church and pastor put him to work. he was at the church. he preached at my church. holy ghost moved in there so much, tore the place up. i think part of it scared him. because after you preached that sermon, you left the next week. but check this out. god knew he was going to do it because before he left, what did the lord tell you? he told you that if you go back out there -- >> yeah. >> the very thing he delivered you from, you are going to be ensnared by it again. >> yeah. >> did not the lord tell you the truth? >> yeah. >> low and behold, i fell back and the same thing, the street life. the gang life-style, it got me.
8:30 pm
>> though pastor tina predicted the dismissal of dean's earlier murder charge, she is less certain this time. >> marquel is on another journey, but this time i believe he's going to sit a little minute because he didn't get it right the last time. >> he walked off and leave you standing, you stand there looking stupid. >> dean says he's innocent this time as well, but he would never identify the real killer even if he knew who it was. though he says he he has shed gang life, he still cannot violate the long-standing code against snitching. pastor tina teaches, that's a code whose time is up. >> i have to talk to you about this. y'all got this thing in here, you're not going to snitch on nobody. you come in here, both y'all on the case. whatever the case may ben bernanke, i'm just giving you a scenario. y'all got in a situation, situation went bad, the friend shot the dude. you had no plans shooting the dude. but you're with him, you come to jail. we're just not going to say because i don't want to be
8:31 pm
labelled as a snitch. you better be glad, praise god, he saved me. be glad i was never with you in a crime because if you shot him and i didn't didn't, i'm going to sing like a mocking bird. you better understand something, i'm going to tell you something, because you're so busy trying to hold it down, you're fixing to go do 25 to life and probably the one that shot him is going to get out in four years. >> as far as snitching and telling, yeah, i mean, look, somebody killed my mom. i'm not going to tell on them, you hear me? i promise you. why do i need to bring somebody else down? >> justice. >> no, i don't know what -- for real, i don't even know what justice is. i know what just us is because i've been -- it's been against -- the system been against me, justice been against me my whole life, you know. so, i don't understand justice. >> why shouldn't the person who killed james gary pay the price
8:32 pm
for that? go to prison for the rest of his life, why not? >> god will work it all out and they will have to deal with somebody eventually. >> coming up. >> i can hear something going on in the bathroom. i look in, i really can't see anything. there is a curtain kind of half pulled. sounds like they're fighting. >> a deputy reports a fight. and says one of the combatants is jeremy honey cut. but with added touches you can't get everywhere else, like claim free rewards... or safe driving bonus checks. oh yes.... even a claim satisfaction guaranteeeeeeeeeee! in means protection plus unique extras only from an expert allstate agent. it's good to be in, good hands. ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms.

after the gang member regelio soto threw coffee in the face of hill, the staff has decided to update their intelligence files on him . when it comes to gang members, that usually involves documenting tatoos. >> most gang memorandum ers are are proud of their tatoos. it means something to them and their fellow gang members. >> they could represent anything, a subset to past criminal acts. today deputies will have a closer look at soto's ink. >> he told us he was south side sereno and he has ss tatoo on the back for south side, i'm guessing, but that's a 2009 picture. >> he probably has it updated since then. >> sergeant wood son and corporal simmons then pay a visit to soto's cell to see if

8:38 pm
would. >> were you surprised when he said, you can go ahead and photograph my tatoos? >> i wasn't surprised. most gang members are proud of their tatoos. a lot of them will say yeah. and some of them will grin at you and say no. when you take him downstairs, i want to talk to him. >> all right. >> while deputies photograph soto's tatoos in the booking area, corporal brown searches his cell for gang correspondence, weapons or other contraband. >> when they searched the cell last time, they found a homemade weapon in a dor ito s bag underneath his desk. >> soto is serving 50 years to life in prison for the murder of a rival gang member. he has been transferred back to the jail in order to challenge that sentence under a new state sentencing law. according to authorities, he stabbed a man 79 times.
8:39 pm
soto still maintains his innocence. >> the main witness in my case, he said that everything happened in under a minute. so, i was about one or 1.5 times per second or something like that. but, yeah, i don't know that sounds to me a little outrageous to tell you the truth. but i guess that's all the evidence put it at. >> cool, thank you. >> the crime occurred when soto was 16 years old. >> 50 years to life so mandatory minimum of 50 years before i can see the parole board. it was mostly just shock. i was kind of numb. i lost everything. my immediate family is still there, but all the other ones, friends, chance at life, sometime having kids. nobody likes to feel like they have a job, family of your own,
8:40 pm
i mean, i lost all that. >> soto did not testify in his trial. and like other gang members says he wouldn't have named the murderer even if he knew who it was. >> you defend yourself. as long as you're bringing other people down, i didn't want to be put in that position. >> even if it meant the rest of your life in prison? >> i mean, i'm still trying to fight that. i hope it doesn't mean that, but -- >> back at soto's cell, corporal brown's search turns up no contraband, but soto may still have problems to come. it's still too soon to know if he will be criminally charged for attacking hill in full view of jail surveillance cameras. but the cameras cannot see every part of the jail shall and deputies say another gang member has just used that knowledge to assault an inmate. deputy brent who was assigned to the unit says she didn't see the fight, but definitely heard it.
8:41 pm
>> i could hear something going on in the bathroom. i look in, i really can't see anything because there is a curtain kind of half pulled. it sounds like they're fighting. >> deputy brent ordered the men to stop and come out from behind the curtain. the gang member involved was double amputee jeremy honey cut. he said ask he and the other inmate did not wish to be identified, were only arguing. >> just words. most of the time in here it's words. people will fight with words. >> deputy brent asked both men if they were fighting. >> the other guy says they were. honey cut denied it all. >> i didn't hit him. i didn't touch him. >> he didn't hit you? >> he did not. >> and so what are you guys upset about? >> well, he called everyone in the pod a bitch. he had words for everybody in the pod. >> honey cut has done a lot of time in this facility and he knows how to get around the system. >> as sergeant tucker reviews
8:42 pm
the surveillance footage, honey cut is seen following the other inmate into the bathroom many >> we cannot film inside the bathroom because we cannot film people when they are going to the bathroom or changing or something like that. >> theoretically, if somebody was going to plan a fight, the best option to not get caught is going into the bathroom. >> that's correct. >> put your initials right there if you want the hearing, the bottom line there. >> sergeant tucker offers him 15 days in disciplinary detention for starting the fight, but honey cut exercises his right to dee fuse and to defend himself in a hearing instead. though he risks more time in detention if the hearings officer determines that he did start the fight. >> i'm innocent so why not have the hearing? evidence speaks for itself and there ain't no evidence so i expect to be found not guilty on this one. i didn't do nothing, so. >> coming up, marquel dean encounters an old adversary. >> your mama doing all right? i haven't seen her in a while.
