Stray Bullet Page #8

The jury, I reviewed your note and I think your message

to the court has been clear.

I just want to ask the foreperson,

I want to ask you a question.

Foreperson, do you feel that further deliberations

would be beneficial, do you feel you've reached a point

in which further deliberations

-would be futile? -[woman] I do.

-You feel that they would be futile?

-Yeah.

[Judge] Considering all of that,

I find the determination

of this trial is necessary because the jury

has failed to agree upon a verdict

within a reasonable time,

after reasonable time for a deliberation has been allowed.

I'm going to declare a mistrial.

[people murmuring]

[Judge] Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the function

you have performed is one of the most important

civic duties which you will ever be called upon to fulfill.

With the declaration of a mistrial in this matter,

your service is now complete.

On a personal note, every day I see how citizens

such as you respond to the responsibility,

the decision making that is jury service.

It is truly remarkable witnessing that reality.

And I say that even though you didn't reach a verdict.

I know how hard you worked at this case.

We've been at this case for over two months.

So with that, I now discharge you with

the sincerest of thanks of all of us

who serve in our court system, you're now free to go.

I wish everybody the best.

[people chattering]

A hung jury, it's like, it's a non-decision.

It's not a decision.

So the charges are still there.

Now, in theory, we could...

These boys still got to sit in jail.

While we are elated at the result of a mistrial,

it in no way diminishes the tragedy that the family

of the victim still has to endure.

Immediately after Jhymiere was arrested,

and incarcerated for the murder of Genesis Rincon,

he was then also charged with another murder case,

and that entire case, the police investigated

my client, believed he had nothing to do with it,

and left him out of it, and now, lo and behold,

they indict him on that murder case.

Very, very curious circumstances.

-Processing what's going on? -Yes, ma'am.

[man] Do you know how long you'll be going away for?

[Harley] So he'd have to win two trials in order

to walk away scot free.

Trials are risky businesses.

And anything can happen at a trial,

and even though he felt empowered in one sense

by the hung jury, he was smart enough to know

that it's not a guarantee next time.

In the end,

we were able to come to a deal,

in which Jhymiere pled to 20 years.

He would have to serve 85% of that time,

so 17 years, before he can apply for parole.

He's been in for three,

so he gets credit for all of that.

So he'll be out in 14 years.

He'll be 36 years old.

He can resume his life with his, right now he has

a three year old son, he can marry, he can go to college,

he can have a life, and he ultimately decided that

pleading to being responsible for the death

of Genesis Rincon and Raji Clark was in his best interest.

He went in an open forum, took an oath to tell

the truth and said, "I shot the bullet

that killed that girl."

Somewhere, the truth exists.

[Genesis] Hey, everyone, it's Genesis, and I want to wish

you all a happy Easter.

Today is Sunday and the 20th, which is nearly Easter.

They say it was the straight

But it didn't have a name

But that was called my family and things aren't the same

I remember when I first found out, I almost went insane

All the pain and all the agony, is too much to explain

She was riding on a scooter around Independence Day

Now she's riding in the heavens

She's very far away

I'll give it away, just so I can see her face

But deep down in my heart I know you in a better place

Got needed Him an angel so He had to pick the best

I took it as a curse but in reality you're blessed

Because you're flying through his kingdom

And this life you passed the test

Well I'm jotting down these words

I get this knot up in my chest

Because knowing you not hearing me

Leaves me blinded, full of stress

They say that you're a legend

More and nothing less

I wish it was a nightmare, and it could all just go away

But I'm forced to see reality every single day

Where the f*** is all the tough cops

That killing let us pray?

Where the f*** is all the heroes

That plainly see the day?

We ain't got that out in Paterson

Why children got to pay?

That's why I'm riding strap

With this 40 and this gauge

All I feel is anger, but I'm fighting against my rage

Because my children need a future

And I have to pay their way

Because I know karma's a b*tch

And she riding around the way

When you do dirt in this world

And this hell is where you pay

I'm just running through this world

And I feel so alone without you

Until we meet again

I know this is not the end

Whoa, whoa, yeah

[Genesis] Hey everyone, it's Genesis,

and today I'm going to be showing you my collection.

Who doesn't love collections, like, right?

But, let's go back to serious mode.

In this life you had a purpose

Because you helped people survive

Donation and your organs helped save a lot of lives

You're a legend, you're a hero

You're my angel in the sky

It ain't about your race

It ain't about your pride

It's all about the youth

And keeping our children alive

And to our family's name you'll forever be alive

To the day of my demise

And my heart you stay alive

And through all this pain and chaos

Together we shall rise

I'm just riding through this world

And it feels so alone without you

Till the day we meet again

I know this is not the end

Whoa, whoa, yeah

Hey everyone, this is Genesis, and today,

I'm going to be doing a shout out video.

I know the lighting is very bad. I'm in my room.

It's about 10 o'clock in the morning.

And the lights are off, so I just want to make this video.

This shout out video to my friend Rosanna, so--

[Golda] Stop! Edit!
