Man, if I had a dad who loved me like Bruce Rivers loves his son...I feel like my life could've gone totally different
I know man. Imagine the difference a happy non-abusive childhood with a dad that adores makes I a kid’s life. Michael is so lucky.
Michael has also had a really tough time as a kid/teen and young adult, and Bruce really stuck by him through it all. They're an amazing family, truly.
Man, me too. I know just what you're saying.
@@Jack-ld7ku among other things, yes. To quote a comment I saw recently on another video: "I did some research. Bruce was divorced from Michael’s mother when he was 5. A year later she took her life. When Michael got a little older this was explained to him. He went into a multi year meltdown, hit the drugs and alcohol and was furious with his family. He was in and out of schools, not completing high school and going to treatment programs. He got a GED in one program but had multiple encounters with the law. Bruce remarried. Michael got into the same college his parents went to, but it was hard picturing his mother being in the same classrooms, etc. He squeaked through the first year and ultimately finished with a 4.0 in his last 15 classes. He was interested in law and communications. It takes a lot to move beyond the years of unhappiness Michael and Bruce had but obviously no grudges held. I’m quite sure Bruce could not picture himself working with Michael and this show must have been a great ego builder for Michael. They certainly have been to hell and back but the operative word is “back”. Huge respect to both of them for weathering a category 5 storm and hope all the days ahead will be blessed. As a parent, I can see why Bruce is now beaming when he talks about his son."
I know. Me too. 😢😢😢
When my son was in grade school he would act out and misbehave. My son told my parents and me that voices in his head tell him to do things he knows is wrong. We had a lot of therapy sessions and it was all worth it. He is in his 30’s now and well established. Please do not ignore or dismiss the signs!
Thank you for the positive message about the efficacy of therapy! I am a retired child therapist and it helps kids to reinforce that therapy helps.
This happened in my town, so sad. I'll tell you what, these cops aren't playing any games anymore out here. They arrested my 17 year old son and a couple of his friends on Halloween for chasing and Scaring some kids with a fake plastic costume knife. I don't blame them honestly. It sucked for my kid, but he learned that we have to take these things seriously. My prayers for everyone involved in this tragedy.
He's lucky he wasn't killed by parents or witnesses
Or the police for that matter
I hope they didn't press charges! I bet that scared both of you
He's lucky he didn't get shot.
Happened right where I lived too. Moved to Texas though right after it happened
When I hear about stores like this, I’m extremely grateful to be alive. A 14 year old boy started abusing me when I was 3. It wasn’t just sexual. He almost killed me twice. He also used to kill and torture animals and not hide it. Sometimes “kids” are scarier than adults.
God bless you and your strength
Did he ever get caught by the law for doing that to you in the animals??
@@Katie-uj8xz I suppose it was "god's" will that this horrendous thing happened to her and those animals? What kind of a god would allow that? Sorry to add this to your reply thread, Taras... I'm just so sick of these people proselytizing their religion at every sick opportunity. Even if a god were proven to exist, I would still absolutely not worship any god that would run this place.
That kid sounds like a future serial killer
@@SomeRandomDevOpsGuy ❤as a SA survivor (r&ped at 2 , 4 and 8 years old), Thank you so much for your words. I too do not want to trash anyone but IF there is a God, those mysterious ways of his/her work are lost on me.
❤
I appreciate you mentioning that poor child, from the 40s. That still breaks my heart. I saw the other pictures of that poor child, chained to the ground. They knew he was innocent, then. The evil…evil hearts and rotten souls of these people. Smh.
This was the most compassionate and intelligent discussion of an incredibly sad and complex situation.
Amen. I used to be like I don’t like defense attorneys. Wise husband said until they are your attorney. I love this man
💯
@@karenhearne I can see how defending an obviously guilty person could be seen as "bad" but really everyone deserves representation. A defense attorney is basically the last line of defense from a corrupt system. They can't change the facts of whether someone is guilty or not. They can point out holes/flaws in the prosecutions case and get things removed that shouldn't be on there in the first place, but they can't change the facts. So in the end as long as the police/prosecutor do their job correctly, no shortcuts and nothing illegal all criminals will still end up facing the consequences to the crimes they can be proven to have committed. Without them our legal system would be even more corrupt then it already is. It is amazing the things prosecutors are allowed to get away with.
Fr. His compassion is why I subscribed.
I was thinking the same thing.
my dad always said "Nothing good ever happens after 12am." meaning if you're not where you need to be by 12 thats when bad shit is more likely to happen... especially for younger kids. dont gotta be home perse, but be somewhere.. dont just be.. out.... if you hanging at ya friends, go there. dont just be out in the streets fkn around, ya know?
No, your just a scared clown
Kids sometimes in a bubble. Believe there’s no danger to come
Do you know how many kids sneak out with classmates at 1 am and don’t get stabbed 114 times in cold blood? This psychopath was a homicidal narcissist!
Akira - yes no good will come of it
Bruce is a legend, you can see this man has a heart of gold and a deep empathy for people.
Yes......
I never appreciated lawyers...until bruce....
That speaks volumes
Bro is all about the unification n betterment of mankind.
🙄
Man y’all weird
His empathy appears to be for killers and thieves.
The story of George always makes me cry. They refused to let him see his mom when he was waiting to be tried. Wrote a poem about him once and it was published, saddest poem I've ever written. Worst execution I've ever heard of.
I can’t handle it. It’s too sad.
Any chance we could read your poem? Thank you
Glad you’re keeping his spirit alive. Poor soul… we can’t keep allowing this type of justice to go on. Wealthy V poor, Caucasian V any other race… male V female… We need better guidelines & a government that’s not bought by lobbyists.
@Jordan Skidmore it's 2 pages so don't forget to go to the next page
I would love to read it also. ❤️✌🏻
"Could you imagine being the parent and your Son committed these horrible crimes?"
Yes, and my Mother wouldn't have washed my bloody jeans...
Aw, Bruce, now I'm done for the day. Every time I see George and remember his story, I literally cry. But thank you for putting his name out there. The fact that baby had to sit on multiple books to be tall enough to have that helmet fitted to his head is not only tragic, but a reminder of how heinous our justice system was and can still sometimes be.
That was horrendous. Just an innocent baby. 😞 I agree that our justice system, although considered the best on the planet, still has some fixing to be done.
Same. Such a heartbreaking tragedy.
@@neecie9075 You have to be high on toothpaste if you think your legal system is considered even top 20 on this planet.
Omg I just remembered thst horrible horrible case ot was to big for his head and thsts so sad he was completely robbed of everything snd never got a single chance and went through something so horrible being so fucking young and knowing he didn't donit snd no one will believe him I hate thst case and pretty much all cases where the person has been wrongfully convicted but thst one by far the most
Idk what has happens with that after his conviction has been overturned but I hope that his family no matter how distant of a relative they are and no matter it will never make it right but I hope they atleast grt financial stability out of it so they can atleast of a good life he never got a single chance at
This Fucci kid had NO REMORSE! He bragged about killing this young girl on social media. Him saying voices told him to kill somebody is made up. The kid tried to act like he was disturbed but it was all an act. I hope he rots in jail. He is extremely dangerous and should never walk amount society again. The mother just recently plead guilty for trying to wash away the blood on Aidyn’s jeans and tennis shoes. Tristian was killed 4 times over. Aidyn had so much rage.
He knew what he was doing, he bragged about it and posted to social media from the police car about Tristan Bailey being “missing”.
That 6 year old that shot his teacher literally happened right next to the garage I work out of for Verizon. There were (what seemed like) hundreds of Newport News police cars on Richneck road that afternoon. It was just so surreal to get the text from my manager “hey don’t go down Richneck road and go the back way on your way in. A 6 year old just shot his teacher at the elementary school down the street.” I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read that.
This kid was still trying to be a gangster while he was in jail. On one of the other lawsites they were talking about how he has been extorting commissary items from weaker inmates. I wouldn’t feel too sorry for him despite his age. He hasn’t become any kind of better person while incarcerated.
If his mom had a clue what his tendencies and fantasies were, it was her responsibility to get him help! If he talked about it at school, I imagine his mother knew. Sounds like she instead tried to cover things up for him. He sounds super super sick sick sick individual. If he did that at 14, just imagine what he would be capable of as an adult. RIP his victim. Unbelievable.
And his Dad? Where was he
one of the best books i read is the gift of fear, there was a whole section on how violence never just comes out of nowhere, there's always signs it was coming and how we never act on the warning signs.
It made me angry - not just at the outcome, but at the people who could have been saved if people had paid attention.
the biggest person who could have been saved was the perpetrator.
because we ignore one, we lose so much more.
You, Bruce, are the kinda of compassionate, competent and honest lawyer our legal system needs more of.
Such a evil act. He stabbed her 111 times. He’s not a child he’s a monster inside a child’s body.
i would prefer that Aiden Fucci never gets out of prison during my lifetime.
We know why George was killed after a three hour trial. RIP to this young lady 🕊
Out of all the crime documentaries, first 48, etc...that's got to be the record.
I've been to Baltimore too
that's the risk of jury trials i guess... same problem with voting... most americans are stupid
Yep. The *color* of the case and the times made the killing of the Black 14 year old by the electric chair light duty for the court. He probably was convicted before lunch.
Since no one has said it yet, I will: it was a lynching under the color of law.
Jesus fuck. Stabbing is already such an intimate way to murder someone but 114 times is unreal
It’s evil. He did it with his full faculties.
Blows my mind. Then the other case with the 6 year old shooter!
He should never get out of prison.
Aiden can't be rehabilitated and should never be free.
nah free my boy
@@GabriellaLevine-oj4wi you must be desperate for attention.
Such original thinking here.
@@pipermccool keep defending your murderer
thanks for always being YOU- informative and descriptive. Always looking forward to the next video. you’re great. i’m looking to become a lawyer and am completing college courses now. your videos give me that extra needed push to see it through. (:
@Zoe Pastel
Good luck, I'm sure you'll do amazing!
@@Froggy77100 thank you so much!! this means a lot 🥺
Best of luck!
The fact that this is the first time I’m hearing about that innocent boy being murdered by the government really goes to show you that we aren’t learning the things we need to be in order to make informed, fair decisions.
These should be prominent things everyone knows about and is taught. So we don’t repeat the mistakes.
It’s disgusting that this boy is a forgotten tragedy. I hope he’s resting easy. I hope the girls are too, but, he deserves to have lived so much longer.
What a tragedy.
Really... this is the first time you're hearing about the little 14 year old being executed? Out of curiosity, what state do you live in and how old are you? My point is that certain populations/states/cities of our country have been suppressed of educational information. It would just be interesting to find out where you were born and raised. Look up the case on CZcams; it's very interesting and tells the story of how systemic racism began in the United States. Peace.
@@LauraVee63 I'm from Texas and I haven't heard about it til now
"We"?
He was convicted due to a forced confession. When the trial happened his confession no longer matched the coroner's report of the girls deaths. So the Prosecution asked the Coroner to the effect of "If it had happened the way we said, instead of the way it did; could he have done it?" After less than an hour of deliberation he was sentenced to die.
Julian assange is in jail for reporting war crimes. That's happening now, do something about it, make some informed decisions and see if the government listens/ obeys your decision.
I dont think he's insane the way he's trying to say he is. He's violent, he's got poor impulse control and he wanted to kill someone. That's it that's all. He's messed up and unstable, sure, but he fully understood everything he was doing from the jump.
Unless you're a clinical psychologist, what you said is just an opinion and your opinion is hot garbage from a basement dweller.
Yeah, he wasn't out of control. He didn't freak out and wake up covered in blood and panic. He planned it and named his damn knives. He gets what he gets at this point.
I absolutely agree with you.
Totally agreed.
bro called 114 stabs poor impulse control
Come on, even little kids know to not stab anyone. It has nothing to do with being 14. It is like the old saying, ‘Psychopaths are born, Sociopaths are made.’
It is not about knowing it is wrong. It is about having undeveloped mental faculties, minimal emotional regulation, etc. It doesn’t mean they’re not responsible for their actions. They are responsible, because they know it is wrong. But it does affect mens rea and appropriateness of punishment. Additionally, juveniles are more likely to be rehabilitated than adults after heinous crimes because they are still neurologically developing.
Certifying a 14 yr old is a blatant manipulation yo skirt the Supreme Court ruling that juveniles cannot be given life sentences without the possibility of parole.
So which one would you classify him as?
The mother seems to be an enabler
That's the most misleading thing I have ever read lol. You do realise that these are not classified as official diagnoses because they are different manifestations of antisocial personality disorder.
Amazing filled with heart and compassion. And if more children had parents who loved their kids like you do perhaps there would be less people in court. You are a good man 😊
I totally understand he is 14 when this happened. But he needs to be prison for at least 60 plus years. He did it because it sounded cool to him. And it was for pleasure. If he got 20 year or less, this will encourage more teenagers to do this. 114 time is pure evil
yes, something is clearly off
All false
You are right! It is very difficult to discuss a 14 yo committing this crime and consider the mental development of the child and the possible mental health issues the kid may have had while respecting the victim and her family and the pain they continue to experience. But you did it with compassion.
Might l say that if this child, Aiden Fucci, has been on these medications he definitely has a severe mental health condition...rip to his young victim. Tragic story 😢
He was trying to bully other kids where he's being held while using the murder of that poor innocent girl to intimidate others. Thrown that key right on away sorry bruce!!
Hi Bruce. Having a child murdered - and having a murderous child - are the worst things that could happen to any family. Truly awful. Thank you for showing compassion for both families. I also appreciate you talking about this case in the context of George Stinny, Jr. Grateful that the moral compass of this country has evolved somewhat since Jim Crow.
During yesterday's guilty plea, the judge asked a litany of questions to verify that Fucci fully understood the implications of his plea. Early in the series the judge asked about medications, and Fucci's answer was striking. He is prescribed Remeron (major depression/ptsd), Lithium (bipolar), and Zyprexa (bipolar/schizophrenia/major depression). This kid is nuuuumb right now. Unclear whether or not he was receiving treatment of any kind before the incident, but today he is in a poorly state. Two years alone with one's own thoughts is a long time.
In order to receive such medications, he needs to have spoken to a professional about his mental health. What bearing, if any, could those assessments have should he appeal or his guilty plea come up for review? If I recall from yesterday's broadcast, the convicted person's sentencing is automatically reviewed at 25 years. Had the trial continued, would the defense have needed to turn over the outcomes of these medical appointments to the prosecution as part of discovery? What role could the outcomes of these medical appointments play at sentencing now that he has pleaded guilty?
Thanks as always for the excellent content.
At 14 I was worried about punching someone because they might fall and hit their head and die. Sure everyone is different but this idea that 14 year olds just haven't developed enough to understand their actions is questionable to me. Also after doing that kind of thing, how can he ever be rehabilitated? It will always be with him.
Yeah he's going to have to be pretty strong and have a lot of support to get rehabilitated while in the young offenders pod in a Florida prison. Judging from what Christina Randall says
I agree. The saying "the male brain isn't fully developed til their 20s" is an excuse. You don't have to be 25 to know not to murder someone. And over 100 stabs! Cmon. Not saying he deserves the death penalty but our courts need longer sentences imo. Especially for heinous, violent, and sexual crimes
@DanielleNicoleMakeup agreed. I like watching this channel as it has good commentary sometimes but Bruce has a really screwed view of the world. Saying that a 14 year old just isn't developed? He went out and brutally murdered someone. This wasn't a school yard fight that escelaged to knives. This was a cold and evil action. And sounds like he might defend other horrific actions that men tend to do to women as "Oh but they are just too young to know better"
@@FatedGamer I really like his channel too but agree some of the comments are odd, different perspectives I guess. Like when he said it was "weird" Gwyneth Paltrow thought for a split second is this a SA. In the moment as a woman, you always have to be on guard even in broad daylight so it was weird to me that he thought it was weird lol. Sometimes it goes to show the difference btwn what woman go thru on a daily basis that we see as normal fears as opposed to it never crossing a man's thought. Either way, I don't agree that a male brain at 14 doesn't know the difference btwn murdering and not murdering. I'd be curious if it was a female if he would think they aren't "mentally developed" or if that just applies to boys in his mind
At 14 I was the exact opposite. Hoping for a fight but settling for a boxing match. Kids need an outlet. Without it, they become angry and ready to explode at any moment.
Trial of Goerge in 3 hrs and found GUILTY .unbelievable the reasons are very obvious smh 😡...so sad heartbreaking 😢😢
Racists gotta racist. May the kid rest in peace
If you look into the story of the six year old (happened literally right down the street from me) the story is even more insane than them just being warned. It boils down to the admin get fed money based on attendance and they count suspensions as absenses in Virginia and thus are incentivised to never suspend anyone
I came to that conclusion one night, my brother was murdered and I saw a news clip one night of a family being ridiculed because their son had murdered a little girl. I remember having a though come like a bolt of lightening when I realised their was something worse than have a family member murdered. My heartbreaks for those who have family members who are murderers.
How the parents of fucci didn't see he had an illness is beyond me.
@@JohnDoe-qz1ql maybe, but seems like comparing apples to oranges. As a parent, your suppose to look after your child and protect them. Even from themselves. I wonder if we will hear a statement from his parents..
He is a psychopath. Good luck changing him even if they did get him help.
His parents failed him. Some people are not worthy of children.
What “illness” he’s perfectly sane. He’s evil. A psychopath who bragged about wanting to murder someone and calmly walked that little girl to her gruesome death.
Bruce, I somehow find myself despising the mother of Aidan Fucci somewhat more than the boy…but I think they are both monsters 👿. The fact that she was caught trying to wash all of Tristyn Bailey’s blood out of her son’s jeans to hide his involvement in her death is chilling. It makes one wonder what all she has done before to protect him from his atrocities.
I believe that, instead of prison, young murderers like this should be locked away from the public in a mental institution-instead of prison-for a long time (maybe forever). However, so many mental health experts seem intent upon believing that little monsters like this are miraculously healed after a little therapy and are released…free to kill again. Like the many judges who only slap rapists-and men who assault women-on the wrists, give them light sentences, and then let them go free to rape and assault other women again. I read about it time and time again.
Bruce, I understand exactly what you are saying. What was done to that poor little 14-year-old African American boy was barbaric. It was during a time of horrific racism and the treatment of black people in our country was unforgivable. And in some places and instances, this type of racism is definitely still occurring in some form-in policing and our justice system.
But what do we do about the young Aidan Fucii’s and the 6-year-old who shot his teacher? These children are so aggressive and are clearly so dangerous to others that they can’t be allowed freedom to continue to live among us when they commit these heinous and abnormal acts. And their parents?…those who have done nothing to help their child or stop them, ignore their behavior, or even help them to avoid punishment? Clearly in these cases, and others like these (like the Uvalde shooter) were aware that their children were dangerous and did nothing about it. Obviously though, there are some instances where it seems the parents were completely unaware that their child was planning to kill (like the mother of one of the Columbine killers who wrote a book about her devastation and how she was treated because of what her son did). But all this just proves how important the proper guidance of parents is to instill such things as empathy and to recognize unhealthy behavior in their child early on. And it shows the effects that indifference, neglect, and abuse by parents has on children; as well as how important it is for parents to keep tabs on their children about where they are and what they are doing and who their friends are. The parents of both Fucci and the 6-year-old were aware their child had a history of being violent. And don’t you know that that the parents of Tristyn Bailey were devastated to learn that their daughter was sneaking out of the house after 1 a.m.?
Bruce, it’s obvious that you have a good heart, and are an unusually compassionate and ethical defense attorney and a good parent. But do you really believe that Aidan Fucci and that 6-year-old can be rehabilitated? I think you do. But it’s been reported that being in jail has not tamed Fucci’s aggression one iota or shamed him in any way, as it’s been reported that he’s been so disruptive that he’s threatened guards and extorted other inmates to the point where he’s had to be chemically restrained. I have the impression that decades of therapy and medication will not change Aidan Fucci. And the 6-year-old? Time will tell.
The greatest and most troubling issue with the death penalty is the absolute inconsistency with which it is applied. A serial killer whose guilt has been proven beyond a doubt gets life in prison for killing multiple victims. And a robber who shoots and kills someone get the chopping block.
So grateful to esign for giving us these videos
This is a very sad story Bruce. I've been following this story, and saw him plead.
A 16 year old kid on Lithium and other drugs.. wow, he has a defense.
Very hardcore.
Bibolar depression. Dangrous disease can change life
@@ahmedameenM Lithium is a very very hardcore mood stabilizer I know someone who has tried it for a a couple weeks and just damn they were almost a mental zombie
@@franciswyvern I've seen a grown man on his knees, on lithium!! You don't stand a chance on that drug :(
And this a child.
My sister started on Lithium when she was 12 years old due to severe mental illness. It was severe to the point where her life was in danger along with our families lives. At the time that was the drug they used but it destroyed her kidneys and now she has stage 5 kidney failure. They had to keep her in the hallways of the hospital she was in for children. I do have a question though but what is the best way to handle this situation, who knows. I don’t know if anyone really does. Both families are destroyed and I can understand it from both sides from personal experience.
@@bronaghspillane352 sorry you have had this terrible personal experience xx
His mom tried to help him cover it up and deserves charges too.
She was arrested.
The problem is we have a dismal record of fixing people with broken minds. I don't know if it's because of a lack of resources or its just not possible.
Repair of the mind starts with the individual realizing there's something that needs fixing.
It’s both. Some can’t be fixed, the ones that can often never see the resources that could’ve helped.
Thank you for your common sense it’s hard to find today
Thank You sssooo much for sharing your thoughts on this case. Wondering what your thoughts are regarding his mother being charged for obstruction (washing his jeans to remove blood evidence).
Oh, this kid was definitely evaluated. I am a nurse, and the drugs that are being administered to him are heavy duty psych medications. It's been a whole long time since hearing of someone receiving Lithium . His whole demeanor was completely different than 2 years ago! I heard he was pretty violent in jail; yelling at the guards and acting out. He also was 'acting bat shit crazy ' during a hearing. He could be getting what we call 'chemical restraint ' to manage his behaviors. Who knows, I'm no doctor. Those drugs given together is heavy duty. That much I do know. Wow.
Lock her up.
Lithium is a super hardcore drug
I've only known one person to use it
And she was a bipolar schizophrenic
@ Misty Rose, I thought so , too. like your comment.
Based on his mental health actions. He needed the meds.
@@BlueRidgeBubbleI've had a couple of friends take it for bipolar
Teen: "I heard voices telling me what to do."
Judge: "I heard voices telling me to give you a life sentence."
Watching the video of Fucci when he was alone in the police interrogation room, where he knew he was on camera so he pretended to be insane, just proved to everyone he was not insane. He was so obviously acting. He was looking all around, bug-eyed and with an exaggerated and confused look on his face like he was hearing voices. He was well aware of what he did and why he was there and he knew that he had planned the murder and that it was wrong. The facts in this case are sickening. Fucci was known to torture animals and he told others that he wanted to kill someone (and was deciding who to kill) and he planned the murder. He even decided on a girl he knew liked him, he stabbed her over 100 times, and his mother knew he had hurt or killed someone because of all the blood on his pants and her reaction was just to wash the pants (indicating she knew he was capable of the crime).
IMO this young 14 year old was a serial killer in the making and I don’t know how he could possibly be rehabilitated. And the mother turns my stomach.
Bruce, I love watching your videos. It’s so refreshing to know there are defense lawyers like you who are so kind and highly ethical, with unshaken morals and common sense. It’s obvious you have done well in your practice, so it’s admirable that you and your son are doing these videos to educate others about our legal system and explain some of the legal cases we hear about.
I’m 80 years old and I’ve enjoyed watching some of the recent trials that have been televised.
Great video and commentary on such a difficult and painful situation of juvenile offenders. You’re always serving the perfect balance of humor, legal expertise and compassion. Law is your calling and you bring much integrity to it.
I was a mental health therapist in elementary schools. I believed these kids. They need help to negotiate those feelings. They can be helped.
love ur vids man. you’re entertaining, funny, and extremely professional. what a man. keep up the good work. and props to micheal rivers for being the content genius.
If you somehow can bring yourself to stabbing someone at age 14, you lost your right to 'it's just a child' BS. It isnt. Children dont murder other humans, at least not when properly raised and supervised. So maybe put the parents on trial too.
There was also a case of a 10 year old shooting his mother, point blank range. They found out that the reason he shot her was because he was angry that she wouldn't buy him a VR set he'd been begging to get for christmas. The family said they knew he had anger issues but were still shocked that it got this far.
That just made me literally cry thinking about them killing that poor baby that was innocent. How terribly terribly heartbreaking 😢
Unable to see his mother!! Sickening.
The way you talk is just like me. You are the kind of lawyer I want to be. Not criminal defense, but how you conduct yourself. You’re awesome!
Well done! The human brain is physically growing until age 25+. The last area to develop is the frontal lobe - where discernment, judgment, and impulse control are.
I notice he always says “male brain” when he mentions this, but it applies to everyone. I think it’s important to note that women’s brains are still developing until that age too.
The story of George Stinney is so horrendous and needs to be taught constantly! And his family needs to be compensated! But with so many governments trying to hide the horrible acts of rac!sm they participated in, I doubt it will be told. In short - his story is he lived in a segregated town where these 2 little girls crossed into the Black side of town to look for flowers. They asked Stinney and his sister for directions, then they left and no one had seen them since. When the cops found them, they said they died due to blunt force trauma at a level this baby couldn’t have inflicted. But still they arrested him, kept him confined for 81 days!!!! Without his family or a lawyer and then said they “got a confession out of him” but other than the cops saying this, no one else ever saw him say this and he never said it in court. He only got to see his family once before the government killed him. This baby spent his last months of life alone ! His family lost everything - dad lost his job, they had to move to avoid lynching and couldn't even get to lay his body peacefully!!! A white man from a very rich family confessed to the murders on his death bed decades later… I am just so tired of hearing about how much we continue to fail Black people, and in turn, fail everyone else! the murderer lived freely in his community amoung the public because of this racism!
Good mornin gBruce and Moe, thank you. For doing a video on this one. Such a sad case. 💔💔🙏🏼‼️
"There's such a fine line between sanity and not"
That's one of the most compelling Bruce Rivers quotes yet IMO
THANKS for sharing this so so important issue.
You have a heart mate!
114 times takes EFFORT that's like a workout, I mean that's just completely heinous.
I've worked with many people who were paranoid schizophrenic and the vast majority aren't violent at all. It's a small percentage that are...actually the more severe a case the less violent they are because they don't have enough grasp of reality to even know how to hurt someone even if they wanted to do so.
I'm sure they are more prone to violent behavior than most people but I'd counter that with them also being way more prone to being the victims of violence.
That case with the kid born in 1929 boils my blood
My older brother had a friend named Chip whose house I'd walk by every day from school. Chip had a little brother a year younger than me.
One day, I walked by and waved to his little brother who was in the backyard. The kid just gave me a vacant stare.
When I asked my older brother about him, he told me to never go near that kid. Leave him alone.
Well, years later, Chip's little brother committed armed robbery on a bank a day after he graduated high school.
That was somewhat anti-climatic.
Yea we expected something worse. But glad that was it
Wtf 😂 you're silly
This just makes me so sad. As a mother to a son it breaks my heart to think this young boy will go to prison for the rest of him life but on the other hand the thought of what he did to that beautiful young girl is just unimaginable.
I imagine the parents wish he had just killed himself
Sorry Bruce, he had evil in his heart and it takes a lot for that to go away
I love how this CZcams channel feels like a passion project for him and his kid and doesn’t feel forced. Also BRUUUCE YOU THA MAN!
Bet your pardon, the mother tried to cover it up, I don’t think she’s too concerned
When you spoke about the 6 year old who shot his teacher, your next remark was, "I mean--what the fuck?!" Exactly! I love your honesty. That is the only possible response to hearing about a 6 yr old shooting a teacher.
He seems like the kid who never had to deal with consiquences in his life and his mother showed us that. Wished we taught our kids about mental illnesses instead of worrying about gender identities.
Bruce thanks for taking the time to recognize and address injustice.
At 14 you know right from wrong! I just feel for this young girl who's parents are left with a broken heart!
Thank you Bruce. Your compassion is just wonderful and refreshing.
I was shocked by the guilty plea like everyone else is. At age 14 he came across as a narcissistic psychopath. I thought he would get off on the attention of the world watching him. His mother being an accessory after the fact might have bled into this. *Michael Rivers* I am very interested in the mother and would love Mr. River to discuss it. Not too many were following this. I was and I'm blown away with the proceedings.
I would love to just sit and have a 10 minute conversation with you sir. It’s refreshing to hear someone that gets it regardless of background and status.
Bruce, love your work. You are one of the creators occupying the space bringing a model of good being, behaviour and upstanding. That said, PLEASE THE AUDIO!!!!!!!!! on the main bit - MORE GAIN, MORE VOLUME, MORE SOMETHING!!!!!! - just on the main bit - the intro and the outro are perfect. BIG👊🏿UP Bruce!
@official-clr-bruce No you're not!
I love when you go “ I mean wtf”🤷🏻♂️😀
At 14yrs old you know what your doing. His school councellor should have caught onto his crazy thoughts and took action pronto. RIP young lady.
I don't think you can ethically try a 14 year old as an adult. Cases like this are why we need ROBUST health care infrastructure and massive investment in the mental health sector. Mental health is just another part of overall bodily health, and it should be treated as such. Under this regime, anything beyond basic primary care is seen as some kind of extraneous add-on product that you, the customer-patient, have chosen to consume. Somehow, your physician is basic care, but your dentist is not. I can get boner-pills over the phone with essentially no friction from the private practice doctors that the boner-pill website sets you up to video chat with for 10 minutes so you can get your subscription prescription, but diabetics cannot afford insulin because they literally need it to live and it's too profitable not to jack up the price... and if a few of those pharmaceutical executives suddenly found a conscience, they would promptly be replaced by others who had not.
It's as if we've gone past the point of human control of this thing, and it has instead become a mechanical institution. By definition, such a thing can not regard life quality as the end goal because there's no money to be made.
@@420JackG if it was your daughter it happened to, would you stand up for the defence n spurt out that? 🙄
The second sentence in your original comment extends liability to adults and the institution for his actions. Either he knew what he was doing, or the adults and institution around him (and the victim) should have recognized and intervened... it logically cannot be both, dude.
@@420JackG and the comment you deleted is what i replied too, in Ireland we have free health care and dont need to pay for insulin, and your 'growth pills' as you put it, are available over the counter here. Which has nothing to do with anything. All councelling and medication are free here to anyone under 18, over 65, or low income workers. I'm happy i live in a real democracy, where the peoples voice really does count.
@@GWOAT I didn't delete anything. Easy to want the kid's head when you're from a nice soft place without the sort of conflict we are subject to here.
I'm thankful he took the plea for the family of the Tristen, but also kinda bummed he isn't going to trial. I think theirs some behaviors (since incarcerated) that should be talked about in court & the public should know. I'm torn on it all.
Fauci is the doctor.This guy is Fucci, pronounced FOO chi.
"doctor"
@@bendover9620 "conspiracy theorist"
there was a case years ago in Australia where a mans adult son, high on drugs, walked into his parents bedroom whilst they were sleeping & stabbed his father multiple times, killing him. He then sat calmly on a lounge chair waiting for the cops. Zero feelings or remorse.
Just found your videos and bingewatched! Love it! I was enjoying your Jodi Arias one, but couldn't seem to find part 2 onwards? Any help?
At 14 years old. A kid isn't a toddler anymore. Hurting people is wrong. The mother should've gotten help for her son early on. He apologized, or did the "voices" tell him to apologize? Fucci wasn't scared or fearful when the cops picked him up.
When you said you couldn't imagine what it would be like to be the parent of a kid who did something heinous like that, I was reminded of the book "A Mother's Reckoning" by Sue Klebold. A riveting, very honest account of what is was like for her after her son, Dylan, was one of the shooters at Columbine. Very interesting read and a perspective we rarely get.
I also read David Cullen' s Columbine, correcting the news at the time. I recommend it whole heartedly.
@@LisaSimpsonRules Agreed! That is an amazing book!
I wish people would learn the truth about Columbine. Those two were behaving like sociopaths before the shooting, were arrested, parents were warned by another set of parents whose kid was threatened by Eric, and other signs that these two were violent. I was too young to know I was being lied to at the time - that the shooting was such a surprise because it was a good school. I found out about 18 years later that displayed so many warning signs and their stupid parents did fcuk all about it.
@@nottellingyou14 My opinion is that one was a psychopath, but the other one was just depressed and tagging along.
This kid was a big knife collector according to his girlfriend. Spoke of wanting to kill. His wonderful mom pulled and washed his bloody clothes (caught on security camera in house). I have worlds more compassion for the family of the 13-year-old friend than I can ever feel for him.
A 14 year old boy should have the mental capacity to know not to kill.
I love you. You always make me chuckle. Look at the mother who washed his clothes by hand. lol
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels! You got gold on your hands 🤷♂
It's unfortunate that psychology classes are not part of human studies from day one... kindergarten. It's about value of kindness, tolerance and control
Bruce always keeping it 100 as always and you can tell this case genuinely gets to him and is pulling on his heart as it will any normal person. Two young people lost their futures for nothing
Thank you for teaching us about George. Its obvious how the govt can drop the hammer on a kid when they think he is less then human
It is super sad, even sadder that his mom was washing the clothes with the blood on them, caught literally red-handed enabling him.. I hope she rots in prison, it's not difficult to be a good parent, it starts with discipline & compassion
As one who works in Forensic Psychiatric Healthcare and CJS & CDJO I have NEVER thought it appropriate for a juvenile, or "child", to be certified as an "adult". Two different brains. Two different systems. Until the CJS, both Adult and Juvenile facilities have made radical policy reforms, deprivitization regulations they must remain separate. In NO case, should a 14- 17 yr old child, regardless how horrendous the act, be "gifted" into an adult penitentiary.
I'm generally not for capital punishment, but I'm DEFINITELY not for capital punishment if there can be ANY doubt whatsoever as to the guilt of the defendant. However... if an adult stabbed someone 114 times, and there was no doubt whatsoever that he did it, I'm for capital punishment. I strongly believe in redemption, but I don't see coming back from that.
Life without Parole for Aiden?
Oh no, he is NOT going to live off our Tax Money for the next 60+ years.
This kid is learning the hard way that big boy actions have big boy consequences.
My man's back must be killing him from carrying eSign like that
Bruce not only did the 6 year old shoot a teacher, the kid choked and attempted to strangle a teacher! Idk about u but idk how I’d feel losing a fight to a 6 year old personally
A 6 year old Cannot overpower an adult...
@@JohnDoe-qz1ql I think a lot of adults would hesitate to really fight back against a six year old though.
@@shadowdancer909 You serious?? I'd be Beating that kid if I knew the child killed someone.
Teachers are afraid to touch a kid or they in jail for assault it's a no win situation.
Criminals are getting younger and younger. When I was 14 I was playing video games and chasing girls not plotting a murder SMH.
For anyone that feels on the fence about the death penalty, I highly recommend the last week tonight episode on it. It breaks down the entire picture, and frankly, once you see the reality of it, I find it impossible to support. As Bruce says, even one innocent person being wrongfully sentenced to death is too many.
It’s this mentality about one too many that leads to more deaths. Because murders and offenders are left to work free. The stricter the penalty the higher the likelihood of deterrence.
The same thing can be flipped right back at you, the mentality that giving the government control of who gets to live or die will lead to more death. More tyranny, and gov already likes to play god too much
I bet being stabbed 114 times felt way worse for this terrified young girl. How in the world can you care about him feeling some pain before death when his victim was so cruelly brutalized this way? I'll compromise though, how about a bullet to the brain instead of the drug? That's way cheaper and quicker.
@@escrowfreelancer5613 deterrence is a myth. When theft of anything was punished by the death penalty, it didn’t stop people stealing.
@@escrowfreelancer5613 yea it’s been there’s a lot of evidence that death penalty doesn’t serve as a deterrence, you could look it up
I cannot say how strongly I disagree with ANY minor ever being tried as an adult. We ascribe limited rights to minors on the presumption that they are not developed enough to handle the full rights and responsibilities of adults.
We have a juvenile justice system because minors do commit crimes that require a societal response. That is the system that should be handling all minors, no matter the crime.
If legislatures feel that the penalties available to that juvenile system are not adequate, the correct way to fix that is to amend the system, not to pretend that a child is an adult where convenient.
Woah you guys I didn't know about the innocent kid that got death. That's really truly nightmarish. You're really giving an education today. Thanks Bruce.
You didn’t know 😢. It was a sad case. I learned about in college.
@@Gymthingz I had no idea, I live in Scotland so don't hear much, just started listening to this stuff and lawyers channels last year and found the cases interesting
There were so many links in the chain that lead to the murder of Trystin Bailey, so many kids who knew what Aiden was planning but said nothing; who knew that he said repeatedly he was going to kill someone and wanted to be a serial killer, but they said nothing until it was too late. If any one of the links in the chain leading up to this murder had been broken, the whole thing might've been prevented.
EDIT: Ethan Crumbley, "The Oxford High School Shooter," was 15 and plainly mentally ill at the time he killed 4 students and injured at least 2 others (including a teacher) on
30 Nov 2021. He had asked his parents for mental health treatment, being either ignored or told to "suck it up." He wrote extensively about his "dark side" in his diary, and that he considered calling 9-1-1 on himself in order to be taken to a hospital. He ultimately decided against this course of action, fearing his parents would be angry. He wrote words to the effect that, because he couldn't get help to control his dark side, it was causing him to shoot up his school. He also plead guilty and got a life sentence. What he went through for years is heartbreaking to read.
His parents are being prosecuted on 4 counts of involuntary manslaughter, for their roles, including the fact that they bought their troubled son a 9 mm Sig Sauer as an early Christmas present, a fact they broadcasted on Facebook and Instagram. If you want to read the entire appellate court opinion that holds the parents accountable for their son's crimes, here's a link:

First time watching a video of yours, and I loved the way you talked about this sad and very horrible murder. With respect to both families , compassion , intelligence and wisdom. Thank you , sir.!
Agreed... His videos on Andrew Tate are really good too.
