6:42 am
a few months prior to the dork lisk or slay ryan had allegedly held the knife to a friend's throat over $12.00, which you would think would cause a detective to consider him a little more seriously. you know, for the offense he was investigating, eventually like you're going to have a detention hearing during which time a judge is going to make a determination as to whether you're going to stay in jail or you can be released while you wait. your trot will unless you have a lot of money for attorneys, you're not going anywhere. basically, you go in there with your hands tied behind your back because of the power that we give to police officers in this nation. his word carry the day to do is both guarantees to be the trial and prohibit the use of a cruel and unusual punishment myself. i spent 15 months before trial in the county . do i made a new word? it's called i was petra noise. i was petrified and paranoid at the same time

6:44 am
nobody should ever be denied a trial. and it was created as a protection against torturing people into confessions was established as a shield against mob mentality. in which, hans, in this presumption of innocence until proven guilty, foundational notion of civil justice coey router was a teenager. he was walking home from school when someone accused of stealing a back back, the police didn't do any investigating. they just arrested him. and the next thing you know, the point of course, mal renewal, do his family couldn't afford the $10000.00 bail. he missed his sister's wedding, the birth of this nephew, and so many family events. after nearly 3 years of unimaginable torture, incarcerated without a trial, he was finally offered a deal. if he would plead guilty, they'd let him go. she told me if i lose trial, i could get 15 years to take the time, sir, when you go home today, you say you did, i didn't do. i'm not. i'm not saying i did jail in june. he was suddenly free with
6:45 am
no left lanesha, no apology, no nothing. they just said old case dismissed. don't worry about like, what do you mean a worry about i just took over 3 years of my life. the new yorker reported the cliffs. relatives said he was inflicted by paranoid spect, and cops, or other authority figures were after 2 years after he was released from riker's island, colleen browder and took his own life. amendment to the us constitution is also supposed to guarantee the rate to be free from excessive bail . bail is money that temporarily loan or give the court of collateral, the guarantee that you're going to show up for your trial. like the rest of the amendment. this idea you're supposed to be free from excessive bail is a rate that's regularly violated by our criminal justice. meanwhile, the bail bond industry is making profits of $2000000000.00 a year. mm.
6:46 am
what we would need is at least for you to be employed 2 years on the job. what you do today is going to be 10 percent after 30 days in cost for the bruce finally had the opportunity to post bail. bail was set at $250000.00. neither goose or his father had the money. i was scared. i was so frightened the whole way down. i just thought this is keep you there were nightmare, but i mean, this could be the end of my life. i don't know. i don't know. the most important thing that i can tell you is to protect yourself. don't talk to people. this is tim . he's going to elaborate on the most important rules, all the in 1986 him with 19 years old. he got involved with a girl who was in trouble. she's living with this guy. she starts insinuating that
6:47 am
she's being sexually abused, but like a dummy i'm contemplating going and getting her stuff. she says that he's got a gun, so you gotta be careful. the guy that we're going with, he's glasgow with his take on guns. they start wrestling over this gun. i step out of the bathroom. fight or flight. no excuses, just done. this is there is no excuse for i did. there is no excuse pulled out my gun. i start shoot and listen to 25 years life in counseling prison system. tim's 1st advice to new fish is simple. start with. you got 2 eyes and 2 ears and one mouth. so you should be seeing and hearing a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice, usually going to dig yourself a whole was putting this out alone. when i started hearing the scraping sound gets louder and louder and it persists. and finally, it was a hole in the wall now, and i'm like, leave me alone. a youngster, what's up?
6:48 am
my name is bobby, i'm a christian. you don't have to worry about me. i'm okay. want to cigarette smoke and he wants to bible study with me. he was reading the bible and about hope and about now truth. basically, i told him everything that i was arrested for. what your attorney doing for yes and not much i'm sitting here still you know use while i help you with your case. anything that i could do and, you know, by the way, do you have any money that i could, you know, i don't have any money in and you know, if you can help me out with some money, my dad put money on his books for him and my attorney comes down and has a tape recorder and pushes play and it's robert hughes on the tape. i met her in the 7000 module of the county jail and, and, you know, he, he ran down how he killed his mom. my jaw is just on the table. i can't believe it . this was my friend. it's robert hughes is christian. good guy. my case was the
6:49 am
4th case. 4th defendant against whom robert hughes had come forward and claim the confession in the span of about a year and a half. i think for about a decade, prosecutors had this corrupt alliance with jailhouse informants who would either make up or try to solicit confessions from fellow inmates and then use that information to try to get on the, on their own case. their own sentence. there was a shift in my attorney with the tape of robert hughes. he gave up on me. i saw it in his eyes. i started last booth, had been incarcerated now for a year. as long as it's been, which was in comprehensible to me that anybody could spend a day let alone close to a year, find bars for something i didn't do. now i have another year to wait, potentially, and so much trial. one of the times that i came back up front juvenile hall when they were receiving me said, wait
6:50 am
a minute. the date of birth here goes over 18. she can associate with other miners . because bruce's now an adult, they put booth in the box, which means solitary confinement the statewide prisoner hunger strike began 11 days ago as a protest over solitary confinement condition. and now more than $2300.00 inmates or refusing to eat. solitary confinement this prison within the prison, you're locked in 6 by 9. everything is made of con, even to bed. you're locked in there. 23 hours a day. one hour out for recreation. you can be put into solitary confinement for anything. yes, prison guard my just got seen bowers, an american was arrested in iran for accidentally hiking across their porter. they put them in solitary confinement. i would definitely say that the situation california is more extreme. the cells in california are smaller than this cell. i
6:51 am
was in, in iran, there's no windows in the cells in california. the whole is considered torture by amnesty international and united nations. this is anthony graves. he's an innocent man who was wrongfully convicted, spent 16 years in solitary. no one can begin to imagine the psychological effects. isolation has another human being 95 percent of americans who spend time in solitary report developing a serious thank hattrick condition. guys become parallel, skipped the freedom in case sleep because of the hearing voices. you're more than 5 times more likely to commit suicide in a run. i know nobody being in solitary confinement for more than 2 years, which is an extremely long period of time. but in california in pelican, bay state prison, the average time is 7 and a half years. oh for
6:52 am
2 years have been waiting for his trial. been gone over in his head day after day with the judge would say, what a jury would think. when they heard the transcript of detective mom says interrogation of my cry, and that's all they need to hear. other lies all the inconsistencies. there would be no way he wouldn't be found innocent except the prosecutor filed a motion to deny bruce the right to make any mention of my client's name at the trial. ready on the grounds that we couldn't tie mike ryan to the crime judge turns my attorney, whatever you have the mike right tied to this as well. he was in the county, he could have done it and the judge because it's all you have because he didn't take the time to read the transcript. he was just on auto pilot. he was not paying attention. he wasn't engaged. he says, yeah, that's it. that's all we couldn't tie mike ryan to the crime. that was the framework for my child is an absolute joke. the resources prosecutors have versus
6:53 am
justin brooks is the director of the california innocence project. a nonprofit group dedicated to helping wrongfully convicted americans get out of prison. prosecutors have a police force at their disposal as their investigators there they get the case from the 1st moment it's being investigated. they have access to all the people who are involved in that the defense comes late to the day. we are at a total disadvantage. the 6th amendment to the us constitution is supposed to guarantee the right to effective counsel. but as we're seeing in america, you have to buy your race. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich and guilty than you are if you're poor. and the evidence is to take them on to telling lies robert hughes telling his lies and no alternate suspect. and so i'm screwed. they're charging me with 1st degree murder, which carries 26 years to life. can stay longer than i've been alive a day and
6:54 am
a half in my attorney comes to me in the holding tank and says the judge is willing to entertain the guilty plea in exchange for a use for a talk with my dad. i sort of guilty plea, but you know, it's like a guilty plea and he said, i, i hear you and a close friend of mine, of the family. my father's best friend comes to the juvenile hall and says, you have to, you have to accept this play. so now am i going to start anything i didn't do anything? or, you know, this is look any pounds at hand down on the, on the bench that we're setting up. they are going to convert you a 1st degree murder. unless you plead guilty. and he's, he's practically crime as a matter. and he was like, do whatever you have to do to get home ah, when i would show the wrong, why don't i just don't the room. yes. to fill out. the thing
6:55 am
becomes the after kid and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in while we were saying on the show was picking and you've got global hash wor, cuz like off countries are not competing to accumulate the most bitcoin as part of the game theory that's built into the incentive stack, that is the magic of bitcoin and was unpredictable who exactly would take the 1st step and we had talked about possibly japan, possibly around. possibly, russia turns out that now salvador is taking the 1st step toward a big point standard making bitcoin legal standard. socio gotcha police 30 can each senior who better than the human russell. but if
6:56 am
i go over the over the book, release the hold up to you instead of being able to learn a lot of stories going on in the course. procure mrs to mrs. for barbara i good position. we think you might be a soldier because off the boot she's wearing huge, switched up, took a poison. was little young on this. you're still watching please, please ah,
6:57 am
6:58 am
i don't think they can't ride on police report in december 2020 a group of anti finishes. fill out a film crew access for 3 months. there's no like if people organization, it's an idea that must be opposed to channel out the gate ground. they make their faces, but they can say what they believe and we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states as gotten driven. this is a chance to see who and teeth are really are. in order for me. my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter, i have to be onto the team for that. that's how we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except or so to protect ourselves
6:59 am
in responding will be necessarily need. but you didn't have the target, but i again, jackie jones, i died i might have to go into the deal, but the most the most difficult to find the book there are 410 days right on the bank of the work under water chemical lives and has are, this is going to develop a new to mon, their international market, know that these industries falutin, you're simply ignored in one days, the mother of them. and when we loved them other than the admins, we love the in the,
