12:39 am
a high school diploma or ged can have that type of power to be an officer of the law with the pistol that can take someone's life literally or with the charges they put on people. they don't, they don't feel the need to speak up because it doesn't happened to them or last semester. you know, i mean, but it never happened to me. yes. it could. it could happen to you. yes. like that . every staff member, everybody that i encountered, i was saying, you know, a mistake has been made. i didn't do anything begging for phone calls to talk to my dad. you know, for moments a moment. the reality to my mother's dad would just dream icy jim 1st thing the next morning, i was taken up front and talked to a psychologist or a psychiatrist. and in the cheery kind of a voice he says, so how do you feel about being here at sylmar?
12:40 am
and i said, you know, are you kidding? since the l a p d report stated that bruce stabbed his mother to death. the doctor determined that bruce must be psychotic. who is in health, is a disgrace. i mean, it's more like the me, the medical conditions inside of prisons in california been so bad for so long and you're talking about miss diagnosis, just barbaric condition. so a district court in 2002 said that an outside agency had to come in and take over the entire medical system in the prison today, after spending billions of dollars, some california prison still failed to meet even the most basic constitutional standards for health care if you have a soviet mental illness, the united states of america, probably the worst place you want to be. if you don't have the money to pay for constant care. you in danger, face

12:42 am
a single cell 23 hours a day for the next 19 days over there to visit together. bruce and his father were confident they'd solve the murder. i met mike ryan and it's well step program that i was in. he didn't have a place to stay and let him stay on the couch in my apartment. and he basically stopped paying any grant, you know, worked up my courage. and so i got it. you have to go it's, you know, i have to kick your sorry. so i started like taking some of the stuff off the shelves and putting them in the boxes, the grammy and put me against the bathroom door jamb and helping to my truck. instead, if you ever touch my and he was gone and i thought god is gone. my mom's old, my dad to day before the murder that mike ryan had been there that day looking for money, looking for food, looking for you know, we know it in our hearts. my dad and i, my grandchild, my mom, this is, this is the letter,
12:43 am
the scope right to month to after the rest of these behind bars. and dear sir, i'm sure that by this point it has become apparent to you that i am not the murderer. and this is where he turns me on to ryan, as a, as a potential suspect. when mon, too went to find ryan to interview him, he tracks him down in a jail in mississippi where i think he was arrested for breaking into a woman's house. just story was so full of holes. i mean, you could have driven a truck through. he said that he was sleeping on the streets you sleeping in carports. until march 10th, when he checked into hollywood motel, which is 12 miles away from our house at around 11 am on thursday morning. the check in for the owner on 300 number. suddenly at 3 pm on more staff, 4 hours after my mom is killed and robbed,
12:45 am
me. the me. i don't think that mom to was out to get list or i think that he develop what detect is called tunnel vision. i had heard a lot of things about him being narrow minded. once he made his mind up, there was no way of making him change his mind. and so that, that leads to some serious problems when you're dealing with a homicide investigation detective minds who did a search on mike ryan's criminal record. apparently using the wrong birth date, he had the wrong date of birth for him. and if you have the right date of birth, any check, criminal records back then he would have found that just a few months prior to the dork list or slay, ryan had allegedly held the knife to a friend's throat over $12.00, which you would think would cause
12:46 am
a detective to consider him a little more seriously. you know, for the offense he was investigating, eventually like bruce, you're going to have a detention area during which time 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 truck. well, 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, terry, the day didn't contribution is supposed to guarantee is to be the trial and prohibit the use of cruel and unusual punishment myself. i spent 15 months before trial in the county. do i made a new word? is called i was petrified. i was petrified. and paranoid at the same time, surviving county jail. the 1st thing that you're going to want to do is get out. so whatever you have to

12:48 am
proven guilty. foundational notion of civil justice 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 appointment cause maldonado do his family couldn't afford the $10000.00 bail. he missed his sister's wedding, the birth of his 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, if i lose trial, i can get 50 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 fried with no f. lanesha no apology, no nothing. they just said old case dismissed. don't worry about like, what do you mean? don't worry about. i just took over 3 years of my life. the new yorker reported the

12:50 am
days, and they both 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 you know, keep didn't 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 . can elaborate on the most important rules, all the in 1986 him with 19 years old. he got involved with a girl who was in some trouble. she's living with this guy. she starts insinuating that 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,
12:51 am
he's classical with his take on guns. they start wrestling over this gun. i step out of the bathroom. fight or flight. no skew has 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 seen and hearing a whole lot more than you're saying, if you don't take that advice, usually going to do it yourself a whole wasn't putting this out alone. i started hearing a 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, youngster. you know what's up? 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 is reading the bible and about hope and
12:52 am
about now truth. basically i told him everything that i was arrested for. what's your attorney doing for? yes, and i'm not much sitting here still, you know, 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. and, 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 thing. i meant whisker 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, christian, good guy. my case was the 4th case, 4th defendant, against whom robert hughes would come forward and plan the confession in the span of about a year and a half. i think for about a decade,
12:53 am
prosecutors had this corrupt alliance with jailhouse inform it who would either make up or tried to solicit confessions from fellow inmates and then use that information to try to get some of 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 saw his eyes 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 behind bars for something i didn't do. now i have another year to wait, potentially. and so my trial, one of the times that i came back up front juvenile hall when they were receiving me, said, wait a minute, the date of birth here. this guy's over 18. she can associate with other minors. because bruce's now an adult, they put booth in the box,
12:54 am
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 a prison. you're locked in 6 by 9. everything is made of concrete. even the bed. you are locked in there. 23 hours a day. one hour out for restoration. you can be put into solitary confinement for anything. yes, prison guard my just got you seen bowers, an american was arrested in iran for accidentally hiking across their porter. they put him in solitary confinement. i would definitely say that the situation california is more extreme. the cells in california are smaller than the cell. i was in, in iran, there's no windows in the cells in california. the whole is considered torture by
12:55 am
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 you. hattrick condition, guys become parallel. get the freedom in case sleep because of the hearing voices. you're more than 5 times more likely to commit suicide in iran. 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 2 years had been waiting for his trial, been gone over in his head day after day. the judge would say, what a jury would think when they heard the transcript of detective mom says
12:56 am
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 boost 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 to my attorney, whatever it is, do you have the mike right of tied to this as well? he was in the county, he could have done it. and the judge goes, is that all you have because he didn't take the time to read the transcript and he was just on auto pilot. he was not paying attention, he wasn't engaged. he says, yeah. and said, we couldn't tie mike ryan to the crime. that was the framework for my child. it is an absolute joke. the resources prosecutors have versus 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
12:57 am
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 rights. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich and guilty when you are, if you're poor. and the evidence is to take them on to telling his lies robert hughes, telling his lies and no alternate suspect. and so i'm screwed and 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 a half in my attorney comes to me in the holding tank and says the judge is willing to entertain a guilty plea in exchange for a use for
12:58 am
a talk with my dad. i sort of guilty plea, but you know, i'm 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 his play. so now am i going to start anything i didn't do anything? you know, he says look any pounds at hand down on the, on the bench that we're setting up. they are going to convince you a 1st degree murder. unless you plead guilty. and he's, he's practically crime. as i'm wondering he was like, do whatever you have to do to get home. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk
12:59 am
the hispanic will be necessarily need but he didn't have the target. but again, jack in john's island is 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, international market all these industries that polluting you simply ignore in one days that mother and when we loved them other than the admins,
