Blunt Bandit 509 2 decades in a shitty human warehouse that doesn’t “correct” anything isn’t going to rehabilitate him back into society especially if he’s serving that time on a charge he has no part in. He didn’t murder the cop, he robbed something and some other stick-up man with a gun went blasting. The only involvement he could’ve had from the murder is getting further away from the scene, which rightfully so. What person would stop dead in their tracks in a crime right after their associate shoots the cop, nah you’re gonna wanna separate yourself from that situation because in your mind you went to steal shit, not kill anyone. So serving time for something you feel deep down you had no part in is not what justice should be about. Keeping him behind bars doesn’t bring that bitches dad back, all it does is help the “blue line” cause for the “war on cops” spread another tell tale story of “you never know when it can be your last day, any call, any time, any subject” propaganda.
I hate when people comment about shit without even reading about the case smh. There was no "stick up partner who started blasting and blah blah blah". The murder happened way after the robbery. The 3 men fled on foot after getting their car stuck in the snow. They ran in diff directions on their own. A while later the 1 man with the gun ran into a cop and shot him. The other 2 men were nowhere near him and were already long gone.. The robbery and the murder were basically 2 seperate incidents
His behavior in prison during the time he's spent in prison should be how they judge whether he's ready for parole. He wasn't defiant or insulting. He wasn't the actual killer, these women and men want more than their pound of flesh.
@@kiDkiDkiD12 I don't think modern American society condones lawlessness and victimization. Rather, such as in this case, this man did not pull the trigger. He had committed robbery with the one who did. He's served 23yrs for his crimes. Additionally, with so much corruption nationwide by law enforcement agencies it's very difficult for anyone to sympathize with their victims. Think of it this way, if your high school had a group of jocks who bullied you and others and one day, you fought back against the lead jock, injuring him badly enough where he wouldn't be able to play in football. Well, you'd be a monster to your school, right? But he was the aggressor...he cries and everyone runs to his aid. When you and the other helpless victims cried, nobody listened. So, in that sense, no one feels sorry for a victim who abused their power and authority. This inmate doesn't feel sorry because he didn't murder the cop, yet he's serving the time for it.
OML I was thinking the same thing. He should go in there and apologize for getting convicted of a crime he didn't commit, while committing a different crime.
@Regina Buttons yeah she'll most likely get paroled if the appeal doesn't go through after she was sentenced she had 30 days to appeal she did right away and it very possibly could get overturned... that case is messed up...the trial has been on TV all day today
I’ve studied law in uk, I came across this sort of law in America. You should only face charges for things you did. In America we punish the group. What if 3 men, rob a place, 1 is armed the other is not. Someone is killed. We charge the lot.? It’s appealing, and you could argue that they are responsible for possible consequences. But we stop giving individuals due process. If a republican president is impeached, it’s just him, not the whole party.
@Rosemary Green if it was my father I would be more pissed at the guy who actually squeezed the trigger.the guy should be let out unless it was proven they actually planned to go there and kill the guy.
No matter what this dude said he did not stand a chance in front that parole board. The man was not the trigger man. This man is blamed for the death of an individual based on the fact someone else pulled the trigger. They know it. My prayer goes to all the people involved.
Z. Idheileh, you are correct. It is the parole board, the police, the prosecutors, the judges, and the lawmakers who are the villains here. They are EVIL. This man should be free
I don't feel sorry for Kno police who get shot and die cause they do the same shit to people across America a police shoot at a dog mis the dog and the shot went in side the home owner hand and the shot is still in her hand but the police is not in jail wen they get shot i don't care police is not my hero all the videos going around on RU-vid is not lying about the police that's why the military guy in Texas fock them up
They should treat everyone the same way when someone is killed when together in a murder the police to lock them all up.Let’s see if they do that in Philly where that cop shot the guy in the car for nothing.
How can the man even apologize for something he didnt do?! The man wasnt the killer. At the beginning of the video it was said: “the man who murdered...”. But he DID NOT kill. What BS is it that they require him to apologize for something he did NOT do!!
Bc if you commit a robbery, and someone gets killed as a result (even if its one of your accomplices), you are by law guilty of murder. Dont like it, leave.
@@user-rd5nc1nb9f dont argue with me Argue with the law. Get it changed so bank robbers and other armed thieves have more rights when someone dies bc of their actions.
@@campbellcobb2059 how many posts are you going to comment on? spouting the same shit,we all know the laws! he was there and made a mistake and should be punished.but the man has been in jail for 23 years and the cold hard facts are he has never actually taken another mans life we never know if that idiot hadn't shot the officer this guy might of just run or given up we dont know cos he DIDN'T KILL HIM.if it was the shooter noone would be defending him, but you just love arguing by the looks of it.
@Nicholas Lawry Regardless of whether or not you personally kill the victim, if you act with the killer, willingly cooperate and knowingly facilitate the act with the end goal being the death of the victim, you are guilty of murder. Just like if you hire a Hitman. You don't kill them yourself, but their death came about due to your own actions.
@@jeffcuevas5918 your right I would but to hold someone longer just because it was a cop who died rather than a average Joe is not right and that's the only reason why he is still in

kiDkiDkiD12 Fair enough. But he probably looks at it as he spent 23 years in prison and he didn’t even kill anybody (based on me not knowing all the details related to the crime) ...to be fair, if he didn’t pull the trigger 23 years is a lot of time for the crime in my opinion. His sentence looks like it’s about 30 years which is Ludacris
@Michael Cheritto Sorry bud but 1. You have no idea what his education is. 2. It's our fault he's institutionalized. 3. Again recidivism is the fault of the system not of the individual entirely. 4. Yes the crime he committed and served 23 years for. 5. Why would he take responsibility for a murder he didn't commit? I don't know how you believe any of what you've said connects together at all, it's like a parade of non sequiturs.
@Michael Cheritto Again pointing to what the law is doesn't actually say anything about if it's justice or not. You have to make an actual argument. If you believe pointing to the law is proof of justice I'd have to ask you if laws of the past that made black people 3/5 of a person or banning interracial marriage were just. What about nazi Germanys laws?
Jokes on them, he’s institutionalized. Why leave when that’s your home. “He acted like it was a field trip from jail” well, that’s exactly what it was dear, I’m sorry. Plus, he wasn’t even the trigger man.

What he should of said why apologize when I wasn't the one who killed him, lady you want an apology then get it from the person that killed your father.
I’ve noticed that anyone who answers with “do you have a criminal record?” If someone speaks facts, those are the ones going down first if shit goes to shit😂
To be fair, no matter how you feel about this man, he did raise a good point. They spent less than hour with him and it was in a room full of people who want him to stay in prison. No offence to the victims family but how can they possibly know what this man is like today. The last time they saw him was in court over 20 years ago
“Well you’ve spent 45 minutes with me, so I suppose that would be an accurate assessment of who I am” Dude knew what was up. They just wanted someone to lash out at, not someone to forgive or give a second chance. They judged him before he entered the room, and he knew that. Also, what was he supposed to prepare?
He showed no remorse. Even if there was little to no chance of release for him a genuine human being would still show some empathy, if only to provide some peace for the family. His attitude was disgraceful.
@@thescriptwriter824 He didn't kill nobody though. He was there as a robber, so why charge him with murder when he didn't shoot nobody? This is why we are shooting police, because guys like this are getting punished for crap they didn't do. So how is it easy to respect a badge anymore?
Parole board wants him to plea and beg for forgiveness. He said no thank you. Now they leave unsatisfied because he denies their chance of denying him.23 years accessory to murder should be enough.
The law of derivative responsibility holds that if you are participating in a crime with other people, you are held equally liable for anything that happens. It is why criminals in England used to search each other for weapons when going to, say, burgle a house. If someone was murdered they all could be hanged, this was before the UK abolished the death penalty.
@@davidnash8208 correct. standing next to the trigger man makes you as liable. his was 2nd degree coz he pleaded out, which is why he's even considered for parole. actually, prob not considered for parole. the hearing was a pony show. he was never going anywhere, and never will.
Aiding in the commission of a felony makes you equally legally liable for any deaths caused by the felony. Don't want to be charged with murder? Don't get involved in an activity involving a murder.
@Kalevi Urpilainen And you have no idea what kind of normal guy this might be. You realize the only thing separating you from this guy is luck essentially right?
@Kalevi Urpilainen Lololololololololol "those guys are nazi prison guards" this isn't an argument. Luck is the thing that separates you from this man. Do you ever stop to think about WHY people do things? Try it sometime.
@Kalevi Urpilainen Human psychology dude, just please learn something. internal.psychology.illinois.edu/~lyubansk/Shoah/Naziperp.htm en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment www1.udel.edu/chem/C465/senior/fall00/GeneticTesting/enviro.htm Love how you admit ignorance and yet use it to come to the conclusion: he's guilty of murder. And also how you assume the motivations of bank robbers. But tell me again how someone who never touched the gun that killed the cop killed the cop. Should we hold everyone accountable for someone else's crimes? I mean technically you never owned slaves but you benefit from the fruits of their labor right now and perhaps someone in your family did own slaves at one time... maybe we should charge you for that or maybe take some of your money and give it back. Oh holy shit! Get a job?!?! Damn why has no one ever thought about this?!?! Someone should tell all those people in Africa they should just get jobs! Or hell why not the south side of Chicago??? Damn dude you cracked the case. So in reality this guy has done what he's done in large part due to his environment which, get ready for it, is based on luck. No one gets to choose where or to who they're born with. So it's pure luck my dude.
These comments make me very happy. My father got out of murder through a loophole out of Florida state prison. He has a job , bought a new truck, and follows his parole. People can change, and I’m glad the world sees that.❤️
He broke into his home and was an accomplice to his murder. He’s also racked up a litany of violent outbreaks while in prison, and has been convicted of over 50 crimes since he was 12 years old. If you break into someone’s home with your dipshit friends, and one of your dipshit friends decides to kill someone, all of you are getting some degree of murder charges, you are all accomplices. Stop defending violent criminals.
@@brandonszpot8948 does he need to feel guilty being the murder? He's in prison, of course he's losing his shit. He could change after all he's been through. Its call hope in people.
Parole boards think of themselves as gods who cater to certain groups, hell they were not going to parole a cop killer anyway but they would have loved to see him beg. No blood on this guys hands.
Jim Beau “good for you buddy”? Lol. So this man played no role in the death of someone? Had he and his “buddies” not committed a robbery, that lead to the search and ultimately the encounter with police no one would of died. Hence, the reason he was charged with 2nd degree. If he had shot one of your loved ones you’d understand. Once people start to put themselves in the shoes of others for perspective, we will have a healthier society.
He's guilty of second-degree murder he didn't actually kill the person and they want him to show remorse and guilt after spending over two decades in prison. That just doesn't seem logical
I actually thought this guy killed the man I thought yeah justice is served but it isnt he should done time for Armed robbery are is because he was the only one caught sorry I dont know glad i stayed till the end.
I showed remorse being a passenger in a car that hit a squirrel. It's human nature to feel emotion after affecting life. The fact that he can't even say "I'm sorry that ___" speaks volumes. Defending monsters is a bad look for you
@Jj he probably feels he's paid restitution by spending that amount of time in jail. Any probably believes that he didn't deserve that long of a sentence. His plan was probably to get the money and get out of there and he probably had some crazy friend who decided to kill the person. He's being sentenced for the other person's actions not only his. Plus he knows he's not going to get out so he didn't want to grovel.
@@stevenrandall8300But did you spend 20 somewhat years in jail? No. That might change your idea about being remorseful. That being said I accidentally drove over pigeon once and also a raccoon a different time. Only I did not have the same feelings of remorse for the pigeon that I had for the raccoon. I get you, squirrels are really cute. Your friends a fucking asshole for running over one.
Don't know why the daughter is so upset, if that was me I would be jumping for joy at the way he came in unprepared. Would she rather he showed up acting all remorseful and sucking up to the board so he could be released?
Hes been doing 20 something years and wasnt even the one who shot him !? I think accessory charges need to be reevaluated. People literally killed people themselves and got less time.

@ u are such a idiot 600+ lmao no there wasnt unarmed away lower than that and the unjustified ones were like fucking next to nothing were are u getting ur stats?
They expect him to be in tears and beg for forgiveness etc. He didn't pull the trigger so idk why the daughter expects an apology from him. His been locked up for over 2 decades he is stone cold.
The parole board was never going to let him out, especially in front of the cameras. No doubt, those cameras being there at the request of the police and that whiny daughter.
Cristopher Espinoza He was an accomplice to someone else’s murder. Just because he didn’t plan for it doesn’t mean he isn’t responsible. The trigger man got life, and this fellow got 2nd degree because he was present and an accomplice. He also has a litany of other violent convictions from his past, and while he’s been in prison. This guy is no professional, he’s not “calm” he’s just a dipshit who doesn’t feel like the world is treating him fairly despite him being a violent criminal. He’s lucky he was offered a chance to walk free, and he squandered it so he could try and maintain innocence in a crime he was convicted of over two decades ago. He can’t get over his ego. He doesn’t belong on the streets. Absolute menace to society, and anyone defending him clearly has no clue what they’re talking about.
John McGhee History of violent crime, multiple violent offenses in prison, zero remorse for being an accessory to murder at his parole. He’d offend again. Wouldn’t want him in my neighborhood, I’d be shocked if you’d want him around yours.
Brandon Szpot actually all the research in the area of recidivism points to the likelihood that he would not go on to reoffend. One of the largest protective factors against reoffending is age, as we reach 30 we are less likely to be aggressive even if we showed high levels of aggression in our adolescent years. Also, there is absolutely no research to show that “remorse” or even admission of guilt etc has anything to do with reoffending. So I would welcome this person into my community with open arms - I would also be supportive of ensuring there was a support mechanism in place to help him readjust to life outside. However, I don’t live in America - thankfully people like you are rare where I live.
And where is the problem with that? Do you honestly think he wouldn't have been convicted? Even if they moved the case out of state? Pretty sure the law on the books is cut and dry.
@Michael Cheritto He didn't JUST rob. He has 55 adult criminal convictions, and a record of violence in prison. You really think he's going to change when he gets out? He's a bad apple.
No offence to the family, but he wasn’t the trigger man. That law that says just because you’re in the commission of a crime and someone else decides to take it to murder means you’re responsible too is stupid. He’s been locked up for 23 years because of a robbery and someone else deciding to shoot. I’d be pissed too. Sorry to the family but he’s paid his debt.
It's not because of what role he played or didnt play. It's about who the victim was. Had it just been some ordinary person, he more than likely would have been granted parole. If not this time, then probably next time. But since it was a cop, it's going to be a long time before he ever makes parole. If he even does then. And he probably figures that. So he didn't really care how the parole board viewed him anyway. He will more than likely conduct himself the same way at his next hearing also.
@XWriter100 I'm not taking sides I'm just here to state facts and correct you real quick, it says he was a burglar, it says he was not the trigger man, and it never says he himself was armed, it never says there were multiple guns, so just that lil add on you did there of "weren't you paying attention? He was an armed robber" was actually a false statement made by you in an attempt to justify your own belief of charging him as an accomplice, I'm not arguing for or against that, but if your gonna try and go "weren't you paying attention?" To someone again to make them feel misinformed in how they feel, you should make sure your informed as well and if you were informed and you still added that "he was an armed robber" lie in there, then your just a liar who's not ready for real talks about real issues with real results
@Klaa2 there is no proof he knew the person he was with actually had a gun, your making an assumption, even though it could be likely, it is still a false statement made by you because there's no proof, and also he himself didn't have a gun either

@@GeneralBuckNaked agreed she just sitting their sounding like a dumb b!!! with the other 7 assholes how can she request that and the man didnt even kill her dad dumb b!!!
Because his involvement in the robbery makes him partly responsible for the death of the cop. This is a standard law, if someone dies during the commission of certain crimes ALL those involved criminally are responsible for the death, even if the death is one of the criminals. It's been this way for decades. He was charged with 2nd degree murder, not first. That is the only break given. No, he really should be remorseful. His criminal action lead to a death. If he hadn't robbed he no one would be dead. But he robbed and someone died. He's guilty of murder. You don't have to like that but that's how it is.
Eric S nah. It’s not how it is. He didn’t kill the man. If you get in the car with your friend and your friend hits somebody you should be charged with “2nd degree vehicular manslaughter” your logic is fxcking stupid. Nobody is going to admit to a murder they didn’t commit, unless they’re a mindless sheep. Like you.
@@Li8eralsarescum69 Nah E36. You bring up logic yet fail to use it. Getting in the car with a friend is not conspiracy to commit a felony, in this case a robbery. It's been a point of law for decades, commit a crime that in some way results in a death and it brings a murder charge with it. Are you really going to argue that this isn't a fact? It IS how it is. This group decided to commit robbery. One of them shot a cop. This DOES result in homicide charges. Welcome to the big boy world, sorry if it disappoints you but I suggest you come to terms with reality rather than your flawed fairy tale that criminal actions should not result in criminal consequences.
@@erswnn you bring up a fair logical point but it's an old outdated law. It's matter of, it's an old system that really doesn't work. Also he didn't kill that man and had no say in that matter. He may be a robber but not a murderer you have to see that. To me he could have lived a normal life but yet he got hit with a crime he did not commit nor plan or have anything to do with it other than he was with a group of robbers. That's what everyone is trying to say. Yes it's law but that doesn't mean the law is right.
Twenty something years locked up... Remember in The Shawshank Redemption when they talked about becoming institutionalized after so many years behind bars that you’re terrified to go back into the real world, because there aren’t many prospects waiting? Maybe the guy found inner peace where he is. Also, he knows that most of the times an inmate’s first couple of requests for parole get denied anyway.
That why he come off cold and don't care. He did someone else's time pretty much, what sure they expect? Of course he pissed at them and not remorseful, he didn't commit the murder in the first place?
@@mike223reloader Maybe, but all that affects the parole board. He's not a guy who fucked up once. He's a career criminal and that works against you, which is fair.

Imagine being so bloodthirsty and vengeful that you'd be arrogant enough to think that someone who didn't kill your loved one should be weeping and sobbing for forgiveness for something they didn't even do, especially after they've been in prison for several years as a result of this unjustified conviction.
Possibly showing no remorse because maybe, he's grown to be institutionalized & has nothing or no-one to go to & maybe feels more at home in prison. Maybe hoping that the attitude he's showing them will have them decide to keep him there.

WE were all told eye for an eye justice is bad, but the system more often than not will take your entire body, or even your life, for an eye and call it justice.
No. Why would it? The DAs job is to get a conviction. If he happened to know the person who got killed, that wouldn't create any conflict of interest in him doing his job.
How can a district attorney not know the Police Chief? There is a difference between knowing someone on official duties and knowing someone as a close friend.
@@campbellcobb2059 learn what? This parole hearing was about feeling remorse for killing a man he didn't kill. So he didn't feel remorse. If they asked him if he felt remorse about robbing someone and spending over 20 years in prison, I'm sure his answer would be different.
@@theqgene362 Then don't commit crimes. If you commit crimes with others, you are equally guilty of any crimes committed. Even if a victim kills one of you in self defense, you are still guilty of murder.
@@michaelmacgeorge1082 nope, law is wrong. Sure party to a crime of say bank robbery makes sense to charge everyone the same, as they all made the choice to do that crime. But to charge someone with a crime they did not choose to commit, say murder as in this case is wrong on so many levels.
@@JimmyCrackCorn_ I understand that is the law, however, that doesn't necessarily make it right. The man went to commit a robbery, which was wrong and illegal, but he DID NOT KILL ANYONE, nor did he have any idea that was going to happen. After 23 years, I think any normal human being would feel they had done their time for a murder they never committed! Put yourself in his shoes for a moment...whether you would "never" have committed a robbery or broken the law or not, let's just pretend for a moment that you had a temporary lapse in judgement as young men and humans sometimes do, and you decided to go with a buddy to commit a robbery. Suddenly shit went horribly wrong and not according to the plan and your buddy, like a dumb ass, shot and killed a cop. All you agreed to do was commit a robbery. You never even thought about anyone dying or about killing anyone, much less a police officer. Would it feel right to you to be charged with murder for a murder you didn't commit? And even if it did seem reasonable to you, that since you were involved in the crime that resulted in an officer's death, that you'd be charged the same as the one who pulled the trigger and killed the man, after 23 years behind bars serving time as a prisoner for the best years of your life because of your temporary lapse in judgement when you commited a robbery but killed NO ONE, wouldn't you feel you had paid your debt to society, really!?? Think about it. I can't imagine how any reasonable human being wouldn't feel they deserved parole at that point.
I see I'm not the only one that realized that he knew he didn't have a chance at parole. He could have showed some remorse and the victim's family still would have hated him and pleaded with the board not to release him. No sense in preparing or being sorry when the odds are stacked against you
Sorry… It doesn’t work that way. If you’re part of a criminal operation in which a felony is committed and a person dies, most states have laws that charge you with murder. You may not agree with the law, but those are the rules. Don’t commit serious crimes and this won’t happen to you.
@Stephen Rice.... Guess what dumbass, he wasnt even there when the shooting happened!.. The shooting happened WAY after the robbery took place.. He was nowhere near the shooter when it happened. The 3 men had already split up in different directions. Meaning this man had NOTHING to do with it. He wasnt even an accomplice, because this was basically 2 seperate incidents. Try reading about the case
The terms and conditions of being eligible for parole for one thing. You have to be considered as rehabilitated to be eligible, which includes admitting your part in a crime and expressing remorse. The correct place to maintain your innocence or play down your part in a crime is a courtroom, not a parole hearing.
I was in a similar situation, I lost everything because I didn't show remorse. The media smeared me so badly. But i am strong and rebuilt my finances even stronger than before. I still don't and will never have remorse for something I didn't do.
I was in a similar situation a couple of guys try to do a home invasion at my mother's house at about 2:00 in the morning I shot one of them he ran somewhere and died the other guy got away and when the police picked him up he confessed to everything the judge gave me 10 years in prison because I had no remorse for the situation and my mother who was devastated by the whole thing probably made it a little bit worse because she said and I quote it's not like they were going door to door selling Bibles they were trying to break into my house at 3:00 a.m. but the judge literally didn't care she only cared that I didn't show remorse for the whole situation but I was in bed sleeping when somebody starts coming through the window I'm not sure what I was supposed to do but that was years ago and it effectively ruined my life
