he wasn't one of the cool kids.

He was chasing after the girls

and none of them wanted him.

But he was harmless. They always say that.

he's harmless he would never hurt anyone.

He wouldn't he was

a really good kid.

This woman she got assaulted a

couple of blocks from where we were.

Freddy matched the description

So the cops just hauled him off.

He had no attorney, he had no

money

he ended up coping a plea even though he didn't

do it even after hours of interrogation

Which is another thing, I know

you have to do that..

But imagine your a sixteen year old,

Freddy was younger than that he was 13.

Imagine being 13 and a bunch of dudes

just grab you and say, you did this

they stared him right in the face,

and he coped to it and went down

No-one was his voice no-one

was there for him!

Deluca Deposition tomorrow.

The judge did not grant a continuance.

That's good means my client has a shot.

She was able to record some of the assault

on her phone, so add to the fact that

She did not consent to the search

there was no probable cause.

Hopefully in light of all this evidence,

His attorney will make him cop to a plea.

He thinks he can hide behind

the color of law.

He can't!

So what's up bro!

Nothing, but you

have some high opinions!

You've been seen all over town

with that shine broad!

I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that!

Yeah, well I'm gonna pretend your not
