Imagine what that guy‘s going through having to be in the courtroom with the guy who shot your girlfriend in the head.
don't forget the shooter shot him 2 times and also ready to end his life
This is why I can’t stand judges how do you turn a victim into a criminal within seconds the killers gets an easy sentence while the victim get’s no justice ..
Because a person doesn't go into a court room, putting on his Billy Badass attitude and performance, and expect a judge to just sit there and allow that piece of crap to act out in the proceedings.
He got arrested for contempt for being stupid, he was told several times what would happen if he interrupted the judge or court, was disrespectful and cursed in court and he did it anyway.
You can't be dramatic and act like a fool in court. That isn't the place to get his street cred on.
40 years is an 'easy' sentence to you? Lmao.
The guy was a witness. So the dude that shot them hasn't even been convicted.
Maybe the victim shouldn't act like a retard in court.
I hope the guy sues the judge for violating his rights not even a judge is above our constitutional rights if you can’t understand that we the people have rights then being a judge or a cop isn’t the career for you ..
So they held a victim in contempt?? Come on, you gotta understand what that man is going through! FREE HIM
He's gonna be free, he's just delaying everything. Now hopefully his lawyers can convince him to stfu long enough for the other guy to be put behind bars.
Women
Doesn’t matter. It’s a court of law. The judge has no time for outbursts
@@blackpanther6389 Have some decency. The man has been through a lot.
This is why things like this happen. And "what that man is going through" is where his ideas lead.
Wtf is wrong with the judge? She didn’t even give him an opportunity to regain his composure. To watch someone you love die while you think you’re about to die has to be difficult.
Agreed... poor judge skills
I agree. It’s all about power !!! It’s GROSSSS
These Judge think there are God.
@@redsjohn562 It's impossible to be a fictional character
I'm confused 🤔 why the hell he in jail ? He was shot twice
Sounds like the criminals get treated with kid gloves & the victims get treated like a criminal.
This story is BS for not saying what made him tell the court he was the victim.
They had to know but kept it from the public, why?
Seems the judge could care less his girlfriend was murdered & that he was shot twice.
Not knowing what was said to him makes this judge look like she’s already sided with the defense…
Exactly
Honestly I wouldn’t have sympathy for killers I would put them all down like dogs they are … victims can’t get proper justice but can be treated like a criminal in a heartbeat ..
Sounds like 2 and 2 is
Unfortunately, when the judge is doing her job she can’t allow her personal feelings to impact the rulings she makes. The judge is supposed to impartially enact the rules in the courtroom.
I empathize with this young man, but if this Judge did not do her job by enforcing her word and the rules of her court room as I said before, everyone would say that she has no control over it.
@@spiralrose yup
idk what was said/happened to set him off, but I also feel like it's justifiable to be upset/irate in this situation. The guy got shot and his girlfriend died because of this dude, and he has the audacity to try and go to court to try and get off with a lighter sentence, despite everyone full well knowing he is guilty? Even if it is unacceptable behavior in court, I absolutely sympathize with the victim being emotional here.
I agree. Well said
💯 he seen his love of his life killed in front of him
1000 % Agree

That judge should be ashamed of himself Man U really gonna lock up your witness for getting mad his girl was murderd bro and he was almost killed too what is y’all deal bro
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Maybe he should act like an adult and not a child

@@deusvult6920 doesn't matter. No one should be in jail for saying bad words. Especially not adults.
"misbehaving"? he's in shock that he's being treated as a criminal when hes literally the victim. he almost died. hes probably suffering from PTSD yet the court systems do not care. mentally, hes probably going through a rough time. instead of using tax payer dollars for therapy and counseling they use our money to throw him in a cage. this makes no sense. someone help
Man his hurt he lost his girlfriend...I'll pray for you bro RIP BEAUTIFUL
IMAGINE LOSING YOUR GIRL, YOU GET SHOT,ALMOST DIE ALSO, AND JUST BECAUSE YOU
''words hurt'' saying things TOWARDS THE PERSON WHO KILLED AND ALMOST KILLS YOU, they send you to jail JUST SHOW HOW USELESS,TRASH AND CURROPT THE SYSTEM IS!
so in florida they lock up a victim for showing emotion? while in the back groung a guard is helping a murderer with his tie and making sure he looks good in a suite? wtf florida get your PRIORITIES STRAIGHT. THIS IS EMBARRASSING that this is how their court is ran
Such twisted sht
Judges are whacked
they not telling the whole story what was he mad about them trying to make him say something he didn’t wanna say
Interested in what caused him to flip that switch.. Complicated love triangle, jealousy, or was he on drugs.... So many questions
Pill of the courage 😂
Meth and envy/jealousy.
Ok all I see is someone traumatized by what happened to him... someone should have intervened and recognized what was going on, he saw his girlfriends murderer and freaked out which seems like a completely normal response given what he’s been through.
Right where is his lawyer at ? The lawyer should have gotten up and threw a fit just to make it a televised situation and got the press involved this is redicoulouse .
Buddy turned down a plea for a 40 piece? 😂 he’s definitely going to blow trial. I would’ve took 40 asap.
ik. For first degree murder in cold blood of someone for no reason whatsoever... The fact he was even offered anything less than life without parole is a crime in and of itself.
@@twally87 This is why plea deals should be banned federally. All criminal cases should go to trial.
Yah he's definitely goin to be blowing someone 🙄 once he sentenced to life in the cheek busting motel.
He looks straight hypnotized in that freaking mugshot.
That's why I got out of Riverview and the state of Florida. Born and raised when it was only fish farms, orange groves and dairy cows. Now look ruined.
Florida must have been so nice before all this development and population growth 💔💔
Crazy how the system always fails us .. seriously a sad situation
Remove that judge. She did not even warn him.
Let that man go , I hate how they got someone judging you, that doesn't know you , or have ever went through any thing in there lives. Dude lost his girl , his main support and the court expect you to sit there and think everything okay.
I mean... you're describing how a justice system works. "Someone judging you who doesn't know you" so you think nobody should ever be convicted of a crime because the judge doesn't "know" him. He isn't being charged for "who he is", generally speaking. He's being judged for a crime he committed. If society worked the way you seem to want it to, facts, evidence, and reality wouldn't matter as long as your bro is there going "yeah man I know him he not like that bro" *smack smack smack* "this young man, who knows the suspect personally, has just declared him innocent! He is free to go!"
You don't get to act however you want and commit crimes because someone you know has died. And you would do well for yourself to follow my advice when I say making decisions based on your feelings in the moment is the way the vast majority of convicts end up sitting in jail. Follow the rules when it comes to respecting the lives and property of others and the rules of the court system. It's a super easy, almost sure-fire way of not having to be on the wrong side of it.
I mean really bro that's what you wear to court
Looks like he came dressed for jail.
Yeah, why should you have to dress up like a salesperson...this dude clearly shot him and murdered his girl.
@@Awholekit it can be advantageous really, and that's the main reason why I would dress well in court
It's not about everyone else it shows you have some respect and class hell who doesn't want to look fresh and stunt on the pos that did some messed up sh** to you! You can't get your hands on him but it's just my opinion so to each their own!
@@Awholekit The murderer found it important to wear one. I thought for a second that the victim was the perpetrator in this case. It's effective to dress nice. Your opinion doesn't really matter. The victim really can affect the course of the trail by the way they present themselves.
The victim is saying he doesn’t think the man deserves a 40 year sentence.
That's not a man
Not exactly Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is it.
I didn't really see where he was in contempt of court. He was obviously upset, he had been through a lot so the judge should have taken that into consideration. I think she was a little harsh.
Uh disruptions? Outbursts? How can you even proceed to trying the murderer if the guy who's supposed to be helping you can't be quiet and cooperate long enough for it to happen, because the only other solution would be for him to take care of the murderer. He has to go through the ridiculous system to get legal justice, the best he can do is shut up and cooperate and channel all that emotion in his art afterwards when that other guy is behind bars.
@@blackpanther6389 facts whites people hate talking responsibility 🤣🤣
that's because you saw an extremely abbreviated version of his outburst. They don't throw people out for contempt without warning or because they said a swear word.
And a bit inconsiderate & a lotta stupid.

What the f is going on with judges these days. A lot seem to have mental health issues and should be removed till there head is in the game
you think maintaining court order and not tolerating contempt is something someone with "mental health issues" does? Dang. Scary to think of what society would look like if you were behind the wheel...
@@twally87 get of the dope mate then re read. Get your head in the game
well at first when he started repeating 'I'm a victim' I thought what a clovvn.. until I heard the story
he very well may be one of the victims. But that doesn't grant you the right to do whatever you want in a court room
One person narrowly survived and another narrowly killed.
He was shot in the leg & chest & survived! He has a reason to have a chip on his shoulder. Give him a break!
News lady talking over it but he's telling the guy who shot him and killed his girlfriend.. "You were possessed that day" . In the little clip we can see he doesn't appear to be in his right mind. Maybe off some drug that had him believing the music video was a real life sitiuation. Prayers to all families involved
Dude used no profanity …!!! That was no outburst that’s PAIN and anger
How do you know it wasn’t profanity ? It was beeped out
That judge shut that rant down quick! He was about to spill the beans on the prosecution’s case 😂
The sad thing is if he was wearing a suit he may have evaded the jail time.
@@psst...heyyou6508 it will if you have money
@@ThisIsMyName23 rich people get held in contempt too. Even more so because they can afford the fines that come with it.
Nah. Maybe if he'd been an older guy instead of young. I listened to the video. Judge asked him a question and he answered it. She didn't like his answer obviously. Had nothing to do with law or the case. That judge made that decision based on feelings.
@@khatdragon7694 facts
These are the types of things you deal with when you have a woman as your judge.
what? That a person is rightfully removed from court for being in contempt?
@@twally87 I don't think you intended that as a question, but since you wrote it as one, I'll answer it. No, I don't think that he did enough to warrant being thrown in jail without warning.
The judge don't like the "hood" in him and neck tattoos. Murder trials are the most sensitive for the victims family , that was his girlfriend and outbursts aren't uncommon. Even though it's possible to be held in contempt judges often ignore it. I've seen it. Ppl actually attacking the accused. This judge is spiteful. No warning or anything. If she would have told him one more outburst he will be thrown in jail he would have corrected himself I'm sure.
Need to learn how to negotiate with that guy. "What's the problem!?" (how it sounded to him) is less effective than "It seems like this is pretty difficult for you" in a downward inflecting, late night FM DJ voice. And instead of him saying "what's the problem!? *I'm the victim"* and getting thrown out of court, it could have turned into him saying "It is, it's pretty hard being in the room with this guy." A tactful accusation audit follow-up of "you probably think that justice won't be served here, you probably think that what you want to happen isn't going to happen and you're going to be left feeling like you didn't do enough" comes next. He'll more than likely say "That's right" or some variation of it. _You got him._ You say _"We're_ here to see justice served and it's going to be a lengthy process for _us,_ if _we_ can't conduct orderly in the courtroom, how are _we_ supposed to manage _our_ time for that?" Give him some time to think, he'll more than likely capitulate, and you can seek justice.
Judges don't negotiate with people in their courtroom. That's not how things work. Billy Badass needs to learn to control himself or he can stay in jail.
@@deusvult6920 That seems like its a bit short sighted to me. I'd like to highlight some things; he _is_ a victim. He did just watch his girlfriend get mercilessly gunned down and then he himself get shot for what seems like no reason whatsoever, and he _is_ a star witness. There may come a point where the prosecution may actually need his testimony, and as crazy as it sounds, he may not give it, or at the very least be completely obtuse, all because he feels slighted. Negotiation really isn't about trying to appeal to someone else's desires from a place of weakness- like you're begging the other party to take your deal. Negotiation is a practiced method of how to communicate to reach a desirable outcome. You want to nail this murdering psychopath to the wall and leave him to dry, right? Don't leave any opening. Like Jocko says, "do you want to fight, or do you want to win?" Right now the judge is on an ego trip, regardless if she's within her power and rights to hold him in contempt. She's asserting her dominance. She's fighting. If she doesn't win, a murderer could possibly be let free to kill again over technicalities that could have been shored up by pertinent witness testimony.
Sure he's acting like an ass. However he's important to the path of victory. Show him he's acting like an ass so he'll willfully cooperate and everyone gets what they want.

this judge was COMPLETELY out of line.
I wouldn’t give this clown court any testimony!! Let that fool out like the rest of the criminals and the streets will handle him
If you are called to court you don’t have a choice
I can’t imagine how hard it would be for me to be standing a few feet away from somebody that killed someone I love and keeping my composure.
So did Alec Baldwin
Great comment
Why should this guy help the state then? Refuse to testify and just get the killer on the street
Must be an incredible rap song when you only know 12 words.
“Y’all trying to fry me”
*judge fries him*
“Arrested for outburst”
get this judge out of the justice system !
Look at that pathetic Judge. Using her power to punish the victim because she doesn’t like reality. Judges need to be on much tighter reigns and also be subject to more inquiries which really test how they view society as a whole. A good Judge should NEVER make anything personal.
Omg this really breaks my heart. What that guy went through. & he tried to be a friendly person to this guy. The other guy that ran with him maybe put him to this. 😔
Was he saying he was possessed? This dudes life is being threatened if he testifies. Has to be
This all doesn't add up. There's a whole lot missing from this.
That judge needs fired let that man out of jail. What an actual f*** is going on here
That culture is full of problems.
What has gotten into the youth. Parenting is at an all time low..
Dude was like aw crap...thought we were making a snuff film...haha
They should have taken him outside and let him calm down instead of putting him in jail, after all he is a victim of this crime as well. They should have understood the emotional outburst, after all it was someone, he cared deeply for that died in right in front of him. Something is terribly wrong with this Justice system.
F the judges and the jury and the DA this judge just threw a dude in jail over being upset they expect u to stay calm for everything
Tbh I think the victim handled himself well. If someone murdered my girlfriend & shot me twice I don’t think I could be in the same room with that person.
Screw that what the hell compelled them to put him that close to a POS who killed his girlfriend this system is actrocoicious the judge ought to sit his sorry lame ass in jail and think about why this witness was triggered
How does the victim go to jail , to put the murderer in jail f***** up system.
Bro the justice system is screwed
Imagine how empty that judges soul must be to send that man to jail.
If your plea deal is a 40 piece you know you getting fried at trial 👀

@@PumpkinJuice69 cant tell these silly trailer park bigots anything lol
At least he came dressed for the occasion. Jailhouse Orange.
Agreed, but a judge has to keep control, ESPECIALLY in a case like this (with emotions at an all time high). A judge can't have emotional bias for one side or the other, a job I doubt most could do. The best way to diffuse the situation is immediately get parties separated. If not, chances go way up to have all parties involved start in, then others in courtroom jump in or are just stuck in the crossfire, and a few seconds later its utter chaos. The accused killer will get his in due time, and the minor courtroom disturbance charges will be dropped.
GET A DIFFERENT JUDGE!!... IMMEDIATELY!!...SHE IS CORRUPT HOMIE!!!😡😡😡
Ok so was Pedro jealous cuz he can’t push no P?
@1:18 😂😂😂😂 WHO TF TAKE A 40 YEAR PLEA⁉️ That’s essentially life in prison.
let me get this straight...shooter gets the plea deal and 1 of the survival victim gets sent to jail ...Holy @#$%,,that's insane ....
Room temperature IQ right there. Sounds about right.
Poor guy has stress. PTSD. Seriously...
he's in the same room of the man that shot and killed his girl in front of him, then shot him and he suppose to be calm foh
Probably get more jail time for contempt of court than murder these days
Contempt for cussing....so how many times over should the judge be charged for cussing. I don't care if it's in a court room. It's a room. It's a room that WE OWN. Not the judge. Not the cops. Not the lawyers. WE OWN IT. Piling charges on for saying words. Our justice system is bullshit.
Unbelievable 🤦🏽♂️
But I understand why he's upset. Get upset on the street man don't get upset or in the courtroom. If you want Justice for your girl just act right for a little while bro
These judges forget they cant throw people in jail because someone gave them an attitude their feelings should have no dispute in the court of law and when that happens they should be reminded right away I dont believe this the dude should start a repitishion to have her removed from her duties indefinitely I'll sign who's with me. This is despicable behavior on the judges side . We the people have the power and it's time we all wake up and realize this and take a stand but we have to do it together wake up people and stand together.
That judge is disgusting
If he could redo when he got put into custody u know he would've jumped on that sorry ass dude who killed his girl and prolly would have tried to f him up
Imagine what he went through. Mental health is real and this young rapper is a victim of hideous consequences...
The judge should be more understanding to victims. It's heartless. Her oh yeah. Now your I'm contempt sounds like a power move
I don't think you understand the importance of maintaining order in a court room. They already *had* given this guy plenty of opportunity to reasonably voice his feeling in an appropriate way. By the time the clip starts, they had given him multiple chances to comply and warned him repeatedly of the consequences of continuing his contempt of court. He continued and finally they had to do something. You can't just let people rant and hold the legal process hostage because they lost their loved one, as much as that hurts. That's not how a civilized society runs a court system and I don't want it to *begin* to work that way. Contempt of court is not part of the grieving process. It's part of the process of a person with an attitude who doesn't think rules apply to him the same as they would anyone else.
There's no such thing as misbehaving in court
It's like watching the movie Idiocracy. People act like little children
Why is the star witness in jail
From Silver on the streets to Amber in the joint.
Seriously messed up. He wasn’t yelling or loud, just cursing, which is kinda just how people talk these days. I’ve seen family members leap over tables and go after the accused in court and still not get held in contempt.
This judge has no contempt therefore has no foundation to speak from, to hold anybody else in contempt.
So let me get this straight, the court plays a video of a traumatic episode in a man's life and immediately holds him in contempt for having emotion while being the witness to the trial of his significant others death.....
This judge has no contempt therefore has no foundation to speak from, to hold anybody else in contempt.
Anti white system. Europa the last battle . Net
He will be saved by his rhymes
Bro has PTSD, it happens littles things cause big reactions
I wanna hear his side of the story lol
The rapper probably was the target and got survivors guilt that his girl died and not him
It was a diversion to throw off the trial the guy had to been bribed something for him to start acting like that so he won't be suitable for court and they would think that everything he was saying was false but he's definitely getting paid that contempt in court
Hmm why tho he wants dude off?
Why is he even in police custody if HE’S the victim. Something ain’t right
Some judges be doing way to damn much for no reason at all.
Skin color noted.
I'm a year late and having trouble understanding why Eric is in custody? Wasn't he one of the victims? I can't find very much about this whole story (on CZcams, I haven't Googled it, yet).
He needs to stop going to court anyway so the Shooter can beat the case. Then the Victim can have his fun.
Seems like the judge needs to be locked up
