20
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: And I can't believe it took that low. Okay, they

21
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,360

Speaker 3: It took them four hours to convict this man. But

26
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: let's go to news Channel three for the report.

27
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,360

30
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,759

00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: I can't say that we're happy, we're overjoyed, anything like that,

33
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: but it's the start of process being served for someone

34
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: who we lost. That was some of everything to some

35
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: of everyone.

36
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 5: The jury deliberating for four hours this afternoon, finding Justin

00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,160

Speaker 5: Memphis Rapper, a decision coming nearly three years after Dolph

39
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,720

Speaker 5: I said that you to life in prison.

42
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: It's got to be a bittersweet, right because you know,

43
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: on one hand, you're glad justice is being serving, these

44
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: guys are getting life in prison, but yes, young Dolph

45
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: is never coming back, so it's got to be a bittersweet. Now,

46
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: Justin Johnson and this co defendant, the admitted gunman, Cornelius Smith,

47
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: fired shots into Makita's homemade butter cookies on Airways Boulevard.

48
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: During the trial, Cornelius testified that he and Justin Johnson

49
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: carried out what was supposed to be one hundred thousand

50
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: dollars hit on Young Dolph. Both gunmen were supposed to

51
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 3: receive forty thousand dollars each for the murder.

52
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: And then where was the other ten going? Lauren?

53
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 4: There was twenty thousand going to the goat. What's the

54
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: guy's nest with the twenty to ten ten ten? So

55
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 4: ten from Justin, ten from Cornelius was going to the

56
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: guy that set.

57
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: It up, Okay, but that didn't happen.

58
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: According to Cornelias Smith, they only ended up with eight

59
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: one hundred dallas. Let's go to Fox twenty six Houston

60
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: for the details please.

61
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 6: The trial is shooting death of rapper Young Golf in

62
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 6: Memphis began with a major bombshell Monday. Cornelia Smith confessed

63
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 6: in court, admitting to shooting the rapper, whose real name

64
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 6: was Adolph Thornton Junior, outside of Memphis cooking shop in

65
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 6: November twenty twenty one. Smith says he and Justin Johnson

66
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 6: were promised forty thousand dollars each to complete the job

67
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 6: by Dolph rival big joke. He says he only got

68
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 6: a fraction of that payout, only eight hundred dollars out

69
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 6: of the forty thousand promise.

70
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: Eight hundred dollars, you know.

71
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: Cornelia Smith admitted his role in killing Dolphin, said he

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: felt no emotions over it at the time because he

73
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: was addicted to drugs and was looking forward to collecting

74
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: his forty thousand dollars pay day, which of course he

75
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: never got, and prosecutors argued that the plan was for

76
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: Justin Johnson to secure a record deal for the murder.

77
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: Think about what we're talking about here, two black men

78
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: going to prison forever for killing well, for killing another

79
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: black man for not a damn thing. Yes, I said,

80
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: for not a damn thing, because they didn't have no

81
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: personal beef with Dolph. Dolf didn't do anything to them.

82
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: They were just hit him in for hire. This was

83
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: all business to them, and they were willing to crash

84
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: out and not only throw their life away for some

85
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: money and a potential record deal, but they were also

86
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: willing to take a life for some money and a

87
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: potential record deal. This is why people have to learn

88
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: to love themselves else. Your first, last, and best love

89
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: is self love. And if you don't have self love,

90
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: it is impossible for you to love someone else. How

91
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: could you see the value and another person's life if

92
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: you don't see no value in your own? And I

93
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: know someone out there is probably thinking, Uncle Charlotte, what

94
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: you mean Dolf got killed for nothing? Forty thousand dollars

95
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: in a record deal is something. Let me be the

96
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 3: first to tell you. If that's your mindset, calling the

97
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: breakfast club right now, give me your name and address

98
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 3: so I can tell law enforcement where you at so

99
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: they can come pick you up. Okay, they need to

100
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: come pick you up right now. No amount of money,

101
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 3: no record deal, is worth you throwing your life away

102
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: and taking a life. Okay, that's what Justin Johnson got.

103
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: Sent us to life forever, endlessly. All right, Justin Johnson,

104
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: you are never coming home. Do people not understand what

105
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: that means? When someone says you get in life, that

106
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: means it's over whatever hopes and dreams, whatever creature comforts

107
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: you had in the outside world. If you like women,

108
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 3: it's over done for Nieto and for what, As I

109
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 3: just said, absolutely, Look, I know times it's hard out here,

110
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: but there's no amount of money worth my freedom not

111
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: to mention.

112
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: And I know some of y'all, like.

113
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: These brothers you know, are probably saying yourself what they

114
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: You know, I ain't got nothing to live for, they

115
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: ain't had nothing to live for. Well, let me ask

116
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 3: you a question. Isn't just living enough? Why do we

117
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: take for granted the blessing called life. Somebody woke up

118
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: there this morning and they didn't want to die because

119
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: they had plans today. So why don't we value just

120
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: being alive? Goes back to what I just said about

121
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: self love. If you simply valued being alive, if you

122
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: simply valued your life, if you simply value just taking

123
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: a breath, being able to breathe, then you would value

124
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 3: the lives of others. And nobody could offer you some

125
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: money or a record deal in exchange for taking the

126
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 3: life of someone else. Now I was looking at Shade

127
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: Room and I saw a post from the account of

128
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 3: Justin Johnson. I'm assuming, I'm assuming this is a real account. R.

129
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: Laura.

130
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 4: That's what it was being reported as I didn't report it,

131
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 4: so I thought it was I didn't go ahead.

132
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 3: Well, it says these n words taking criminal responsibility. I'm

133
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: taking screet response regardless. I'm forever the biggest. They can

134
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: throw away the keys before I ever eat the cheese.

135
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: That's so stupid.

136
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: Now, I don't speak fluent nigga like I used to,

137
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: but I understand the last part. Okay, he's saying they

138
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: can lock him away forever before he ever tells all right,

139
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what he means when he says they

140
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 3: taking criminal responsibility.

141
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: I'm taking screet responsibility.

142
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 3: That sounds like one of those dumb ass street codes,

143
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: and I hate stupid as screet codes. You know how

144
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: in video games we would enter a cold and it

145
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: would take us to another level or.

146
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Give us more lives.

147
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: Well, screet codes are the opposite of video game colds.

148
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: They don't take you to any higher levels, and you

149
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: only get one man in this game called life anyway.

150
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: So the screet code be like up, up, down, down, left, right,

151
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 3: select start, dumbnygro you going to prison forever, are probably

152
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: gonna die, and guess what you earned it?

153
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: Okay, your uncle Sharlat tells you all the time.

154
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: Life is about choices, the decisions, we make shape our lives.

155
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: Destiny is not a matter of chance, It's a matter

156
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: of choice. Guys like Justin Johnson and Cornelia Smith chose

157
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: the direction of their lives simply by making a bad choice.

158
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: And it saddens me that we live in an era

159
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 3: with so much information, access to so many resources. We

160
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: have numerous examples of where certain choices lead us, and

161
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: yet we have brothers like Justin Johnson and Cornelia Smith

162
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: who are still choosing to do the wrong thing and

163
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: for absolutely nothing. Please let rimy ma give Justin Johnson

164
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: the biggest he hall.

165
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 5: He ha, he ha, you stupid mother?

166
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: Are you dumb?

167
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: And it feels like these should be teachable moments, but

168
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if people are actually learning because we

169
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: always find ourselves right back here, yes, right.

170
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: I just don't understand why post the statement like, if

171
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: you're gonna stand on that, you want to, you know

172
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: what I mean, take your time, take it, be quiet

173
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: and take it like, but why post that? There's people

174
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 4: hurting behind that?

175
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,360
