My sister Freda Martin played Mrs. Evan's, Derek Evan's mother. She lost her battle with cancer yesterday 11-30-2020. She was only 48 years old. Please pray for my family. We are devastated. Freda was a vital part of our family.
Wow I’m friends with her on Facebook and just finding out about this I played Jessie Armstead in this movie I spent a lot of time with her on set she was funny and talented when I first met her she said “ they know damn well Jessie not lightskin with green eyes “ I busted out laughing damn rip queen
I finished watching this movie and it was very emotional. It was sad but at the same time, every action comes with consequences. This should be an eye opener for everyone.
Feel really bad for these boys they were going to play football in college but then they screwed up. That would’ve been really cool for them to play in college and they could’ve possibly been in the NFL. Felt really bad for there moms as well.
You live and you learn. These crimes was senseless as well as selfish and they have learn what they did was totally wrong and now they have to live with it for the rest of their lives, mentally and physically!
They shouldn’t never robbed they know better than that, they lost their football scholarship they should’ve had their brain set & focus on their football scholarships, & don’t do the crime if u can’t take the time, sides this a good movie.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!! Jesse Armstead didn't fall into the BS they did, they could've done the same. Glad they got out and understood the ramifications of their actions and not become career criminals!!
Not a sad movie. Those boys knew what they were doing and did it! A bunch of talented kids. And they didn’t give af. Threw their lives away for nothing!
Final Form Jam Wow! that first guy was sentenced to 80 years in prison,That second guy was sentenced to 48 Years in prison and they last one got 100 years in prison?!
This is how you know the justice system is fucked up 4 20,14 and 13 year sentences just for some armed robberies the correct sentencing should have been 7 or 8
You know the difference between consecutive and concurrent? No one got 100, 80, or 50+ years. The sentences were concurrent. Armed robbery is a serious crime. These sentences were reasonable.
Jessie Armstead has been involved with the New York Giants front office even after he retired. He didn't win the Super Bowl as a player but he does have 2 Super Bowl rings as a member of the Giants front office. The guys that did get locked up are doing well for themselves now but they could've been off to bigger and better things
About a year before the robberies, Jessie Armstead was caught shoplifting and his mother was very upset at what happened. Jessie promised to his mother that he would never hurt her like that ever again
Good movie I love ❤️ Jessie he’s my number 1 person on there he’s the only person who didn’t robbed & didn’t go 2 jail he was on parole 4 stealing a $15 t shirt he gave his word 2 his folks that he’ll never steal again, he worked hard by keeping his brain focus by not losing his college football scholarship & going 2 the NFL Pros he’s which was he’s the only person on there he went 2 college & made it 2 the NFL he was the only person who was rich & famous on there.
I cried when I watched the movie. 1. I Feel like their sentences were too harsh. Should they have been punished? Yeah, but not to that extreme. 4 20 year terms? And 2. I really felt bad for them. They basically ruined their lives trying to be greedy.
Jim Dandy i don‘t think you understood the that process yes the highest was 25 years but after he server the 25 he had to do 3 more 25s on that times they pretty much got life in prison. ya they deserved to be punish due fact they dod more robberies than bonnie and clyde but he could just gave them 1 sentence a piece not multiple..
I just don’t agree with them being released from prison, I’m sorry but I don’t. They committed a series of serious offenses. Terrified hard working people who work hard for what they have. Them being released is like saying it was ok for what they did. Sorry but I don’t agree with all their releases. Like the old saying goes if you can’t serve the time then don’t do the crime. I’m a hard working American who provides for his family with an honest days hard work. I put in 14 to 16 hr days 7 days a week for 3 weeks. I’m home with my family for only 3 days a month then I’m gone again. But these guys gotta go out and rob people for what they have worked so hard for. It’s wrong and I don’t agree. They should all still be in there
I’m confused everyone else gets sentencing for crimes except Campbell the judge said he is scared of him also why did they get stripped of their championship
THIS MOVIE REALLY TEACHES YOU MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS, JUST LIKE ARMSTEAD DID. I REALLY HATE THAT THE PRAYERS GOT TO ROBBING PEOPLE INSTEAD OF GETTING A JOB. IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL AT THE END. I JUST COULDN'T WATCH IT ANYMORE. AND LESSON WAS DON'T JEOPARDIZE YOUR FUTURE BY DOING SOMETHING CRAZY AND MAKING BAD DECISIONS.
At least none them did no more than 10 years in prison they got out in less than 10 years they should have gotten sentenced to the US Military with the Desert Storm approaching
Should of gave them more time and made an example out of them. Gotta scare people from wanting to rob other people because it will be a light sentence if I get caught.
i dont really feel that sorry for them. its not like they got high or drunk one night and went out and did something stupid. this was 21 robberies over 6 months. jail time was certainly warranted.
I saw the movie. I was so touched by it. And I was hurt for the players. Me, I am an NFL fan. And I feel that the NFL could've been different if these guys had done what Jesse Armstead did and said no to ever committing these crimes. Again I was hurt for them. But I am also a man who's been mugged twice. It could've been even more if I hadn't learned signed to look when I am out and about especially at night. My wish is that society would do a much better job at helping black young men not commit the crimes at all giving white judges a chance to sentence them to hard time in prison. Glad that they real life guys are out and doing well.
Again has NOTHING to do with RACE black or white or brown or yellow or purple or green it does not matter a crime is a crime and a sentence is a sentence no matter what color the person is
Yeah...you heard the illiterate fuckwit who might have a GED, but I doubt it ...STFU! How dare you say that a man who went through years of college, took a law school admission test, earned a Juris Doctorate passed the bar, and earned his judgeship is a hero? And the utter audacity of that Judge to send a strong message to a bunch of ignorant punks whose only real regret is that they got caught and sentenced to serve time. You know, come to think of it ... THAT JUDGE IS A HERO!
This is why you make good choices. Even when your young. These were all promising you men with a bright future ahead of them along with scholarships to play football and because of bad choices they pissed all away in the blink of an eye. Being athletes means absolutely nothing when you break law. That's how it should be. It's a travesty and such a waste to have seen these young men throw their future away like they did.
Evans Was Sentenced to 80 Years in State Prison, Edwards Was Sentenced to 48 years in State Prison, Campbell was Sentenced to 100 Years in State Prison,Allen Was Sentenced to 39 Years in State Prison And Williams Was Sentenced to 42 years in Prison?! Wow!
What's fucked up is this is part of the cycle. This is why it's so important to get an education because a lot times the parents are so busy trying to make a living with jobs that you have to work 3x as much just to get by. they don't time to properly raise these kids therefore the end up doing dumbshit like this.
The movie is on Netflix. It's called Carter High. The movie was made back in 2015 and at the end they said all the men are out of jail and living productive lives.
