8:42 pm
it makes many, many, many, many, many cycles. and in just a few months, you get something that appears to have evolved over years. and the fact that this, when this came out was all ready adapted for human transmission. it's again an unprecedented who's you know, pro vision out of my back on that i would have been like, obviously lucky trucking last year. so you'll have a lost his bus because i just got any of that just got to go. we will be on monday, my thought, why don't you put the miss it so it says, you know what? it was you're not pull up. i got some math almost. what did i'm already whatever sped up. i read me just go to me. i mean it was i don't know what can we tell you?

8:45 pm
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 bruce, you're going to have a detention hearing during which time judge is gonna make a determination as to whether you're going to stay in jail or you can be released while you wait your trial. well, unless you have a lot of money or 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 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? it's called i was petra noise. i was petrified and paranoid at the same time surviving county jail.

8:47 pm
a shield against mob mentality. and which in this presumption of innocence until proven guilty is a 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 coast might've in order to 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 left lanesha, no apology, no nothing. they just said, oh, case dismissed. don't worry about like,

8:52 pm
come forward and claim that confession in the span of about a year and a half. i think for about a decade, 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 the wing 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 and 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 much 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.

8:54 pm
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 he eric 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 of 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 have been waiting for his trial. been gone over in his head day after day.
8:55 pm
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 all the 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 tied to this as well? he was in the county, he could have done it and the judge because it's 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 a framework for my child. it is an absolute joke. the resources prosecutors have versus just in brooks is the director of the california innocence project. a nonprofit group dedicated to helping wrongfully convicted americans get out of
8:56 pm
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. it's supposed to guarantee the right to effective counsel. but as we're seeing in america, you have to buy your rates. 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. 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
8:57 pm
to entertain a guilty plea in exchange for a use for a talk with my dad, i sort of guilty plea, but you know i'm, i'm guilty play 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 home and says, you have to, you have to accept his play. so now i'm going to accept anything i didn't do anything. you know, he says look any pounds at hand down 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 the the the me
8:58 pm

8:59 pm
ah, i don't think they can 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 in. 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 in order for me to exercise my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter, i have to be onto the teeth of that. that's how we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except ourselves to protect ourselves in
