I am a criminal defense attorney with more than 40 felony jury trials to verdict and an expert in forensic DNA interpretation. I have a Masters degree in Forensic DNA and Serology and I am a qualified expert in the district courts of the State of Louisiana.
I have committed my life to fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves. From an early age I could not stand injustice, I remember having this drive on the playground as a very young child. This stayed with me to adulthood. I joined the US Army 40 days after 911 and served my country in Iraq in 2004-2005, because I could not stand still after the attack on our country. I then came back and went to law school at LSU and got my fist job as a contract public defender, a job I committed time, energy and effort to for 10 years. Recently, and in pursuit of being the best possible advocate I can be for others, I completed my Masters degree.
I will continue this fight, this effort, for the rest of my life.
Why not discuss C-ptsd and the impact to victims. For me the analysis of Diddy is superficial. Easy to classify him as sexual deviant, addict, Narcissist, sociopath etc He is orchestrator of a planned program to inflict as much trauma onto victims so as to destroy the nexus of society.... the Person, their personality, sense of being, and self worth. Spiritually, psychologically and physically. I would be generalizing tho so say every victim is now suffering. Some more than others. Destroy a person. Destroy a family, destroy society. These are the works of a different enemy. The same can be seen in reports back from Gaza, where most aid workers etc say they are destroying "hope" of the people , children. From, homes to hospitals, schools and even graveyards are destroyed. This is a war against the spirit of a human.
As with any topic, there is limited time to discuss every possible aspect. I'm a criminal defense attorney so my focus is often defense of the accused because it is my natural state. Thank you for the suggestion on C-PTSD. I appreciate the feedback.
So much love to Anthony. Wishing you all the best in your life. It sounds like you are on the right track. And Jarrett your work is love in action. So wonderful
Study the Bible. It is very cool. It will help you decide what is best for you. Whether you subscribe to it or not you’ll get so much out or reading it.
What an amazing person you are, what you did for Anthony. Helping him the way you did and still supporting him, just beautiful. I love what you have done for him. Anthony, I wish you all the best. You got this!!
You carry wisdom Anthony. Keep trusting yourself and your gut feelings. Keep having a strong boundaries, and remember to be flexible sometimes. But you are doing great! Do not waste your time engaging with anyone who feels draining or unsafe. You do not have to give people your energy, your self care is the most important thing. You do not have to be helping everyone! NO. Look after yourself. YOU ARE WISE. TRUST YOURSELF. You're amazing, and have so much courage.
It really saddens me that Anthony has not been able to receive quality therapy. I would love to be his counsellor. Sadly, there are many poorly skilled therapists. And many therapists who are have no idea how to work with trauma survivors.
Perfect timing: Finally watched Anthony’s story on Netflix and thought you two should do more together, et voila! I’ll add your podcast to my rotation for long drives. Thanks and good luck with it.
From the moment I hear Anthony talk in the documentary, I could see that he's actually very intelligent despite the circumstances he was in. He's very introspective, calm and mentally strong. I wish him all the best for the future.
i like the bonding of u two and positive vibes from Jarret obviously, how AT respect Jarret and becoming friends and best buddies together, best regards from Jakarta Indonesia
I’m a bit behind but just hearing Anthony speak is impressive as he’ll, he is seriously showing signs of adulting, and Anthony, please don’t cut yourself short, when you made the comment that he was smart, implying you weren’t as smart as, please give yourself time, you are cramming how many years? Learning schooling, how to mature AND learning what it is to be aloud to have and learn what emotions are, DUDE, give yourself credit ❣️❣️. Sooo cool to see you coming along, you can be anything you want to b, you still have all kinds of time to b all you can b I know im going on n on but even the fact that your not shrinking away from people trying to hug you is massive from where you were👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 HUGGZ N PRAYERZ for your continued growth 💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏
That young man us inversible, i feel you Anthony, i understand where you Come from, im proud if the way you taking life you have a butyfull mind thank you for Sharing tout Story, you have a butyfull soul keep the gars work buddy
So much love for Anthony and you...please always have Anthony's back coz he only has you as a father figure and even when he tries to disengage please have his back .. maybe try and get him ur therapist if that's possible , you have done a great job ...
Yeah, I guess but meh... sorry to say the bleak truth but he'll be another whatever Texas/Louisiana boy that doesn't amount to much and isn't particularly ambitious. Which is fine, that's not a comment on his legal fate, but after this whole drama, and outside of it, he's just another boring gen whatever that wants to sit around and play video games. There's so many of them out there already...the lawyer is a far more impressive person.
I don't know the future. I'm not so arrogant to think I can predict what any human will do. And, I believe in Anthony and his ability to live the best, most content life he can muster. And, for him (and many others) that's just fine.
Jarrett is amazing & such a god send to this whole case. Anthony never deserved the life he got dealt I just want to hug him and say how proud we are of all he's doing with his life now. Praying his next chapter is filled with love, joy & healing ❤️🩹
I just watched the documentary and ran here to get an update. I am so glad I did, he seems happy and having a good life. It would have been heartbreaking to see this young man be incarcerated now.
At 28:20 the things has been spoken by this gentleman are one of the most important in life. Good man! I'd like to shake his hand... Greetings from Hungary!
I think Anthony had so much luck to meet this lady in the gardening-shop who was the first fighting for him and at the end this lawyer... Good luck for all of you!😊
No contact with any of his family in TX or LA, sadly. I am sure he is battling with feeling let down by the people that are supposed to protect him. It would be a very normal feeling. I just hope one day he will look at the other side of that coin as to how they are probably feeling about themselves as well. Maybe in time there will be healing for all of them. I think Jarrett is the best person to lift him up and continue to guide him. I worry about his not seeing a trauma specialist. Having those things happen to you and not know how to fully process them is a hard thing. I survived a different kind of abuse, but abuse it surely was. I am 59 years old and it was not until almost 2 years ago that I started trauma therapy. I look back now and simply wish I had done it long ago. I carried so much baggage around for so long that I could have unloaded long ago. My relationships in general are so much better. I learned how to better handle my emotions. I was an explosive bomb before. Now, I am chill. I hope Jarrett will stay in Anthony's life to help him with a path in general, and a career path, and a path to heal so he can and "knows how" to lift others. He doesn't know how to do those things. ❤
Just watched the show. Very emotional and raw. I can really relate in a lot of ways to him. The beginning when everyone was saying he was emotionless so he had to be a cold blooded killer. I knew that wasn't the case. Very ignorant to think that's the only reason. My dad would abuse me more if I showed emotion. Emotion was like weakness to him and he thrived on it so I had to become a monotone robot. I'd stay in my room cause being anywhere around him I felt unsafe. Got to a point I had knives all over my room cause I thought he'd hurt me I was scared to sleep. My mom was crazy abusive with him as well. They used religion to manipulate me and would tell me everyone hates me. The control was so intense. It's caused so much mental abuse im almost 30 and still struggle. It makes me so sad that the only person I can somewhat relate to is on a TV documentary. It's so good to see that you believed in him and fought by his side. That's why he has a hopeful future. Support is so crucial in the world we live in.
You and your law firm has been an absolute God send for him. There’s no other way to put it! I know he’s grateful. He was just never taught how to express his emotions. But you can tell he’s learning and coming out of his literal shell. 🙏🏻💙
I never wanted to hug a kid I don’t know more than I wanted to hug AJ. As soon as I finished the documentary I ran to find an update. I’m so happy to see that he is growing and talking and smiling.
Jarrett I just watched the Netflix episodes "I KILLED MY DAD" If only there were more people like you in the world. ❤ Anthony You are braver than you know, and I hope you succeed in whatever you want. ❤
I just watched the Netflix documentary and of course like everyone else I sobbed like a baby. I’m so happy for him and I pray he goes on to live the happiest life with lots of love ❤️
I just finished watching the Netflix documentary and I too was crying by the third and final episode. I sincerely hope that this world is unfolding it's up to you and you are learning that there are people everywhere who are rooting for you. Much love to you, Anthony. As a mom to an adult son, my heart broke for you and for your birth mom, watching your story.
