He should be given long time sentence. He has no guilty feeling on his face or feeling sorry for what he did The way he was sitting in front of the judge.

I cried the entire time listening to the mother. And even when she didn’t form full words because of her crying and her pain, I still understood every single word she said. Even through the tears.
GOD wrap your arms around that Momma that is grieving such a tragic loss of her 13 year old precious child. I felt her pain and it made me cry. Thank you Judge for your sentencing of this young man who must pay for his actions. Such a sad tragedy.
I think they just couldn't stand behind their son behind this horrific act. I know mothers that won't see their sons in jail or monetize them. He only had 2 with him. What's the white hat for. He Muslim part time?
I thought the same way at first but I think a bigger slap in the face is, if an offenders mother in a case like this, asks for leniency, second chances etc. I rather have the family not say anything at all.

I don't get that logic, if ran a red light ( and no one was harmed), ok, I get her point, you get a second chance. The cold blooded slaughter of a child on the other hand, ya go F yourself. I'm still amazed that these ruthless animals even have the possibility of parole, It's no wonder they don't care. Like the other poster said, they should all get the same chance they gave the poor victim, then if they want to cherry pick the bible, how about an eye for an eye? The poor mother though....
It's a shame for both of the defendants families to act towards and put this mother through so much anguish and they showed so much disrespect and cowardly behavior by walking out when she was addressing the court, face it when your kid is wrong, they are just wrong and the main problem is we have too many absent fathers and too many enabling mothers who take up for theirs kids in their wrong doing and the thing is we all pay for it.

Then the father of the children stays at another spot, pays child support and makes 60k or so a year somewhere. He pays bills sure, she doesn't, the government pays hers. that's 110k income to their household, an income they will never get any other way. This is the formula over and over again for poor families across the nation. It is intentional and encouraged by the government whether republican or democrat. I read that the top 10% pay 90% of the taxes. here's the solution republicans, cut all taxes of all kinds, medicare, social, fed, state even local for all income earners below 75k. they don't pay that much to the cause anyway. Then phase out the benefits and immediately allow fathers or males into any housing anywhere anykind at all. Tell me how this wouldn't work to build back the poor?

I buried mine two years ago. The pain rips through you. Missing my son, wanting to die, wanting to reearth my son, drove me into depression. His murderer received 21-43yr for my son just for the murder. He faces a stolen gun charge from another state. The sad part is, he was 25 when this happened, and his birthday is this month. My justice is that he is never released from prison
@charitacoleman3366 please do not take this the wrong way. Words are powerful. They have meaning. Sorry, I am an admission of guilt. For me, my condolences soothe my soul rather than sorry. I would see my son's face every time I closed my eyes, and I knew that God was punishing me. I was so scared to blink my eyes. It was torturous. I would walk the streets, and I would cry under my mask. The moment when I realized how badly I wanted to go to my son's new home and dig up his body, and that I would probably collapse, was the moment I knew that my life was not worth living. I don't know who is in the process of taking someone's life, don't. I promise you, it is not worth it. Both families will suffer, and eventually, the guilt will gnaw at you over time. This person took it all. I wasn't there to help stop his bleeding. My son died all alone. I can not retrieve any of his belongings until he has exhausted all of his appeals. Now, my son has a new home that he can never invite me into, nor does he know that he has moved. What pains me the most is that the grave will hug me, son, longer and tighter than I will.
Wow! The mom and sister spoke so good their emotions were so raw! Very sad 😞 I Pray for their healing and peace. You did it Mom you stood up and spoke for you little boy 😢❤🙏🏾
It always amazes me when I see so many family members in a courtroom supporting the murderer of an innocent child. His family did not seem to care about the victim's life or the family members who are suffering through the trauma of his untimely and brutal death. What is wrong with a group of people who will come into a courtroom and not shed a single tear for a 13 year old boy who lost his life in such a horrible way? It seems like all they want is to see the murderer go free. Don't they think that he needs to be held responsible for what he did? They don't act like that's how they feel. It's almost as if narcissism, antisocial thinking, and sociopathy run high in so many people these days as well as entire family units. Where is the compassion? Where is the sadness? Where is the anger and frustration towards the murderer? No wonder this guy turned out to be a killer.
Darnell the real question is will he even live that long. I say that because many inmates from what I have heard, they don't like other inmates who have done anything harmful to a child. They don't like cops, domestic abusers, and or anyone who does anything to a child regardless if it's mental, emotional, or physical abuse.
@@dudemorris7769 Dude that is true! I use to be a corrections officer beloved. I know better than you. Every single time someone came to prison who had raped a child or beat or murdered a child it was a death sentence.
The "social worker" gets up and subtly blames social media. THIS right here, is the reason the community is so screwed up. Nothing mentioned towards the murderer other than the obligatory "he's a good kid", and she shrugs off the situation by saying "I wasn't there so I don't know what transpired" but technology is a blessing and a curse. She also states that "everybody deserves a second chance". Um, no. Once someone takes an innocent person's life, there are no second chances. None. This woman is SOOOOO typical in the "no accountability - no responsibility" culture. I'm shocked she didn't blame the gun. Do us ALL a favor lady, stay in the bowels of Cleveland. That's where you belong.
“Everybody deserves a second chance” is a very social worker thing to say. Some people believe in rehabilitation and others do not. Obviously, she believes in rehabilitation. Though I believe in the brain development theory, it is not a good excuse for murder. PTSD, is also real, many veterans face it everyday. But he was not caught up in a flashback, he coldly chose to commit murder. There are consequences.
As a licensed social worker...we may believe in rehabilitation but we also should not condone the actions of the person who committed a crime..that mentally does NOT support rehabilitation that is considered enabling..this woman is a "social worker" in her professional life not in this situation..which makes a difference in her judgment 😢😢
Maurco's Mama and sister spoke so well, I could feel their pain through the screen. When she said the killer's family was mean mugging her family, that really made me mad. I have seen this sort of behavior before in a courtroom, as though the guilty person's family thinks the victim's family did something wrong. Bless them, I hope God grants them some peace and healing.
They don't understand the concept of accountability and consequences. Ain't no way they thought they should only get a slap on the wrist for murdering another person's 13 yr old child. They gave nerve. That's what you call misplaced anger.
I broke down in tears hearing her cry for her 13 year old son Lord no one needs to bury their child Lord wrap your arm around this mother to heal her 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Suffers from PTSD per gun violence BUT convicted regarding gun violence?? Yet, he still gets to live and pose in a photo after a 13 y/o is killed by gun violence😔 Prayers for Maurco family🙏🏼
No one’s child should be taken away so young and especially so senselessly. For him to be so loving and loved on from the community let’s us know how special he was. My heart goes out to the mother and her family. Sleep In Peace Young King🙏🏽🕊️
That poor mother, she's right he was only 13 years old, he was a baby, and they cut his life down like it was nothing. How many of us did stupid things when we were 13, and most of us turned out ok, but this kid didn't have the chance to grow up. These guys belong in prison for the rest of their lives, with no parole.
The story of the 62 old friend, the story speaks volumes. In a day where some kids don’t respect adults, let alone to listen a neighbor. I understand that you should shield your kids from strangers. But Marco had developed a relationship with the 62 year old and the 62 year old was depositing knowledge and maybe wisdom and Marco was getting all he could from his 62 year old. Some kids grow up fast and some you can’t tell them anything, but not Marco. Rest in Jesus Marco, go ahead and rest
RIP Maurco Toler. You would be so proud of your family. They came through big time for you. Much respect for your mother and sister. Your mom was raw and real. The most touching and heartfelt victim impact statements I've ever heard. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Well, just based on the fact that, as you mentioned - they're stupid, it's not that amazing at all, really. We aren't talking about Rhodes Scholars here ......
@@dyates6380What he is saying technically is why would a person want to throw their life away when they have so much to live for. It's not worth it. It's mind boggling to me. For me the amazement comes in because many people are so arrogant and bold to believe that nothing can or could possibly happen to them. Them meaning the person/persons who committed and who commit heinous crimes.
Darnell it's the arrogance of them thinking that nothing can possibly happen to them. And since they have no self respect they aren't going to have respect for others. When you don't have compassion, dignity, a conscious, etc you become dead. And I don't mean dead physically I mean dead mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. There are many people walking around who are dead in their spirit, their minds, and their emotions. They are walking around existing but they are not living. And people like him have nothing to lose whereas the young man who was killed lost everything when he lost his life.
This is so sad on so many levels 13 years old is a baby I have a 14 years old I can't even imagine the pain she's going through god please put your arms around her
2 grown men shooting a 13 year old boy is INSANE 😮💨🗣️🗣️ both could have been going to the NFL what a waste of human life this is the third child she has lost to gun violence smh
Even f they didn’t make the NFL, they could have had a college degree and made a life to be proud of. Our middle school was having problems, mostly with boys. The school asked parents, especially fathers, but even uncles came and stood in hallways, the men stood proudly and spoke with the boys and girls, letting them know that they were cared about and much was expected of them as students. The parents were there for about 1.5 weeks and the rest of the school year was great (5mos). Children want boundaries and they want to see men and women, parents, family members and community showing them that they are cared about.
That's another issue. Making these boys believe there future is NFL or rap music. Teach them there are so many other careers out there they should and could strive for. Damn, they get free education handed to them. There's got to be more them just the NFL or rap music in their future.
My son is 13... He's not even my biological son but he doesn't know that and that doesn't stop me from being his father his friend his light is everything and I just can't imagine and I don't want to....😢😢😢
What else could they do? They’re lacking moral compass, empathy, and common sense. This is just PROOF of what people have been saying about the family.
Did she really just say everyone deserves a second chance girl tell that to the grieving parents who won’t ever get a second chance to hug their son, love their son, applaud him, because if the defendants not giving him a chance
They are both sitting there looking dumb‼️ killing a 13 year old, just 2 people who deserve what they received, They took a life , & now they get LIFE‼️
Stop calling them "teens". They are adults and POS th*gs!! They deserve life for a life. Look at his self-entitled smugness during the victim impact statements. Poor, innocent child was gunned down while being in his own home. RIP Marco. My heart breaks for his family.
My God..the pain this mother is going through..has to be beyond what any mother should have to live in..God bless her and her strength..Mamá..we the mothers of the world stand behind you..hugs sister..God bless you always 😢😢😢😢😢😢
this defence attorney referring to Victim impact statemrnt as Just Words is incredibly disrespectful to the court, the victim and all those impacted by this crime.
@@dudemorris7769Not true at all, the fact is some young people are about that thug life and listen to the streets and NOT the common decency their family taught them. They know better they just don't want to do better!
What a second chance he need to go to jail for life for killing that child he know what he did and he know it is wrong so he need to pay for what he did he need to get life PERIOD
What I noticed was VERY FEW BLACK MEN in the audience. It's the same ol story, no POSITIVE MALE influence in alot of black families. It DOES make a difference in some cases A Big Difference. I raised 2 sons & it could have went either way with them Thank God they had older men around with common sense to talk to, not older gangster thugs, that's no help. Men with goals men that are stable & honest is what these PUNKS need, discipline.🌹 Moms NEED HELP, they just do. I'm Blk, 68.🌹
Billips attorney, are you serious?? The way he said sorry for your loss was lame asf! PTSD? Really?! And the defendant, wow! No remorse! I have no pity for those that take a life, especially a young child! My 23 year old son was taken by gun violence in 2022 and I FEEL the mother’s pain! I’ll be going through this in 3 months. God bless you Ms. Dean!
The sister said exactly what I was thinking. How you such a good and smart person but killed or planned a shooting? How you take a life knowing that feeling of loss? My thing is how you take a innocent life at that? Smh praying for the 13yr old young boys family he forever will be 13 its so sad so young. His mom will never be the same she dramatized.
No humility, no remorse. Their families don't help the situation either. Rather than apologize & show compassion, they're angry & blame the victim. I've seen it many times & it's nonsensical. THEY didn't do anything to YOU-blame YOUR arrogant son. Outrageous behavior by adults w/ a murderer for a son. Keep that head high w/ that idiotic look on your face as u tune it all out. The way his "Godmother" swaggered up w/ her hands in her pockets & chin up high & says nothing of the victims family; the way she sits w/ her arms crossed & sour face. All too much.
@AuntBe I feel this mother’s pain. I lost my only son due to a fatal car accident. I also lost my granddaughter who was murdered. She was my son’s daughter. Today no one has been charged in her murdered. I😢😢😢😢feel her pain and heart ache. Praying along with her family. It’s not easy.
@@vondellhenson763 Please listen. I cannot imagine the pain you are in. It will stay with you forever. Your son needed his daughter with him. He left too early. She left you to be with him.

A pain that no one could ever imagine. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I am going through this now. Trial in 3 months. I lost my baby boi at 23 in 2022 to senseless gun violence.
You can tell the defendant is angry now, he doesn't show any remorse or compassion for what his own family is going through. Take the attitude to prison where you belong, society and his own family' will have a better life.
Maybe I misread Jackson’s attitude, but I swear the way he raised his head throughout looked like arrogance to me. Only he and God know his heart but to get 32 years for being the “big man” is hopefully a lesson to others that it’s not worth it.
They try to act hard in the courtroom but they will cry to themselves at night. Took a life now serving life and for what…. to prove loyalty to a gang?? Where are those homeboys at now ? They can’t save you from the justice system. These young men had opportunities to seek out great things but chose gang things. My condolences to the families of the victims. Stay strong and keep their memories alive in your hearts.
Oh my goodness that second criminal I almost feel like the attorney representing him makes you want to believe he’s one of the victims as well. It’s amazing how criminal attorneys can take a vile, selfish, narcissistic violent criminal, and turn them into a victim as well. Basically the attorney for the defense in the second criminal has stated that the violent murderer has already redeemed himself, and if they would just go easy on them, he would show just how nice it is for young murdering criminals to have a second chance. Don’t forget how well that worked out in the Darrell Brooks case, I have also never heard less emotion in an apology to a family than when he turned to the family and said basically I feel you. Is there anything less sincere than a defense attorney at sentencing? I doubt it I think the best thing that Attorney could’ve done was kept his mouth shut
They need to take the word rehabilitation out of the court. Don't know anyone that's been rehabilitated. There should be a mandatory sentence with no leniency. No plea deals.
My heart breaks for the victims' mother. I can understand the stoicism of the defendents' family in standing behind their own son, but if someone from the killers' family draped their mouth to say, ' Dig him up. '.. Shame on them.
My heart goes out to this mother 😢😢, these animals should've got life without parole, I don't care how old they are they don't deserve to ever see the light of another day...
The young man showed no remorse what so ever for taking a life.... praying for the mother and everyone that was affected by the lost of this 13 year old child 🙏
I know what a shame and mad dogging Marco sister with a smile him and his friend need to reap everything they sow until the end of time for doing this to Marco this is so sad
I know it wouldn’t bring her son back I wish I could give his mother a hug 🤗 my deepest condolences. 💐 😢😢💔💔 Rest In Peace young soldier 🕊🕊🕊🕊 🕊 in the end nobody wins.
What an amazing family. If we can’t learn from that family, Grace magnanimity strength of character, true faith, and the ability to look at this very vicious crime through the eyes. Through the eyes of character, so rare. I was so inspired by the family. Even the grandfathers short words were filled with strength and obvious wisdom. May that family know the strength of their face, and the purity of the word of God as they show it in their statements. Wow, what an example for the rest of us

It's a shame for both of the defendants families to act towards and put this mother through so much anguish and they showed so much disrespect and cowardly behavior by walking out when she was addressing the court, face it when your kid is wrong, they are just wrong and the main problem is we have too many absent fathers and too many enabling mothers who take up for theirs kids in their wrong doing and the thing is we all pay for it.
Omg they did?!! I skipped some of the mothers part my heart was breaking so bad listening to her Omg it’s so sad 😢😢😢
No just typical behavior of adults wondering why their children are being sent away to prison.
The mother and kids receive government funds at about 50k a year equivalent if you worked, she couldn't get that if she tried. Then the father of the children stays at another spot, pays child support and makes 60k or so a year somewhere. He pays bills sure, she doesn't, the government pays hers. that's 110k income to their household, an income they will never get any other way. This is the formula over and over again for poor families across the nation. It is intentional and encouraged by the government whether republican or democrat. I read that the top 10% pay 90% of the taxes. here's the solution republicans, cut all taxes of all kinds, medicare, social, fed, state even local for all income earners below 75k. they don't pay that much to the cause anyway.

The moment when I realized how badly I wanted to go to my son's new home and dig up his body, and that I would probably collapse, was the moment I knew that my life was not worth living. I don't know who is in the process of taking someone's life, don't. I promise you, it is not worth it. Both families will suffer, and eventually, the guilt will gnaw at you over time. This person took it all. I wasn't there to help stop his bleeding. My son died all alone. I can not retrieve any of his belongings until he has exhausted all of his appeals. Now, my son has a new home that he can never invite me into, nor does he know that he has moved. What pains me the most is that the grave will hug me, son, longer and tighter than I will.
My condolences and deepest sympathies to you. I’m so sorry for your loss ❤🙏🏾
Wow! The mom and sister spoke so good their emotions were so raw! Very sad 😞 I Pray for their healing and peace. You did it Mom you stood up and spoke for you little boy 😢❤🙏🏾
He got the nerve to be sitting there with a kufi on his head. Probably don't even know what it symbolize.
It always amazes me when I see so many family members in a courtroom supporting the murderer of an innocent child. His family did not seem to care about the victim's life or the family members who are suffering through the trauma of his untimely and brutal death.
What is wrong with a group of people who will come into a courtroom and not shed a single tear for a 13 year old boy who lost his life in such a horrible way?
It seems like all they want is to see the murderer go free. Don't they think that he needs to be held responsible for what he did? They don't act like that's how they feel.
It's almost as if narcissism, antisocial thinking, and sociopathy run high in so many people these days as well as entire family units. Where is the compassion? Where is the sadness? Where is the anger and frustration towards the murderer? No wonder this guy turned out to be a killer.
32 years in prison for a lack of common sense
Stupidity just can’t be fixed 😢
Darnell the real question is will he even live that long. I say that because many inmates from what I have heard, they don't like other inmates who have done anything harmful to a child. They don't like cops, domestic abusers, and or anyone who does anything to a child regardless if it's mental, emotional, or physical abuse.
@@Camille-mv3mrabsolutely untrue. They were also kids and gang bangers, are welcome with open arms.
That only apply to molester
@@dudemorris7769 Dude that is true! I use to be a corrections officer beloved. I know better than you. Every single time someone came to prison who had raped a child or beat or murdered a child it was a death sentence.
@@Beautifulme1976 It applies to anyone who harms a child in anyway sweety.
The "social worker" gets up and subtly blames social media. THIS right here, is the reason the community is so screwed up. Nothing mentioned towards the murderer other than the obligatory "he's a good kid", and she shrugs off the situation by saying "I wasn't there so I don't know what transpired" but technology is a blessing and a curse. She also states that "everybody deserves a second chance". Um, no. Once someone takes an innocent person's life, there are no second chances. None. This woman is SOOOOO typical in the "no accountability - no responsibility" culture. I'm shocked she didn't blame the gun. Do us ALL a favor lady, stay in the bowels of Cleveland. That's where you belong.
“Everybody deserves a second chance” is a very social worker thing to say. Some people believe in rehabilitation and others do not. Obviously, she believes in rehabilitation. Though I believe in the brain development theory, it is not a good excuse for murder. PTSD, is also real, many veterans face it everyday. But he was not caught up in a flashback, he coldly chose to commit murder. There are consequences.
As a licensed social worker...we may believe in rehabilitation but we also should not condone the actions of the person who committed a crime..that mentally does NOT support rehabilitation that is considered enabling..this woman is a "social worker" in her professional life not in this situation..which makes a difference in her judgment 😢😢
@@kenyonbissett3512what, he wasn’t caught up in any flash back that caused him to go out firing guns into homes & deliberately shot that young boy.
@@dudemorris7769 you are right,, I meant to put a not in there and my brain operated faster than my finger, sorry.
👏🏾👏🏾
Maurco's Mama and sister spoke so well, I could feel their pain through the screen. When she said the killer's family was mean mugging her family, that really made me mad. I have seen this sort of behavior before in a courtroom, as though the guilty person's family thinks the victim's family did something wrong. Bless them, I hope God grants them some peace and healing.
They don't understand the concept of accountability and consequences. Ain't no way they thought they should only get a slap on the wrist for murdering another person's 13 yr old child. They gave nerve. That's what you call misplaced anger.
My 13 year old son? Yeah you won’t have to worry about his murder trial, you will be talking about mine
I broke down in tears hearing her cry for her 13 year old son Lord no one needs to bury their child Lord wrap your arm around this mother to heal her 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Oh, he’s a good kid, but he carries a 9 mm Glock with a 30 round clip
Suffers from PTSD per gun violence BUT convicted regarding gun violence?? Yet, he still gets to live and pose in a photo after a 13 y/o is killed by gun violence😔 Prayers for Maurco family🙏🏼
I am broken to hear this mom omg bless this mom ❤
No one’s child should be taken away so young and especially so senselessly. For him to be so loving and loved on from the community let’s us know how special he was. My heart goes out to the mother and her family. Sleep In Peace Young King🙏🏽🕊️
That poor mother, she's right he was only 13 years old, he was a baby, and they cut his life down like it was nothing. How many of us did stupid things when we were 13, and most of us turned out ok, but this kid didn't have the chance to grow up. These guys belong in prison for the rest of their lives, with no parole.
Mom, I’m so sorry for your loss of Marco. 😢😢😢 May the Holy Spirit bring you and your family PEACE. ❤❤
It must be so frustrating living your whole life wondering if you will ever get parole. Serves them right.
The story of the 62 old friend, the story speaks volumes. In a day where some kids don’t respect adults, let alone to listen a neighbor. I understand that you should shield your kids from strangers. But Marco had developed a relationship with the 62 year old and the 62 year old was depositing knowledge and maybe wisdom and Marco was getting all he could from his 62 year old. Some kids grow up fast and some you can’t tell them anything, but not Marco. Rest in Jesus Marco, go ahead and rest
💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
RIP Maurco Toler. You would be so proud of your family. They came through big time for you. Much respect for your mother and sister. Your mom was raw and real. The most touching and heartfelt victim impact statements I've ever heard. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My heart breaks for the mom
Maurco's mother broke my heart. I have one son and I can't even fathom her pain. May Maurco rest in peace.
It’s amazing how people can throw away their whole life on stupidity
Well, just based on the fact that, as you mentioned - they're stupid, it's not that amazing at all, really. We aren't talking about Rhodes Scholars here ......
@@dyates6380What he is saying technically is why would a person want to throw their life away when they have so much to live for. It's not worth it. It's mind boggling to me. For me the amazement comes in because many people are so arrogant and bold to believe that nothing can or could possibly happen to them. Them meaning the person/persons who committed and who commit heinous crimes.
Darnell it's the arrogance of them thinking that nothing can possibly happen to them. And since they have no self respect they aren't going to have respect for others. When you don't have compassion, dignity, a conscious, etc you become dead. And I don't mean dead physically I mean dead mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. There are many people walking around who are dead in their spirit, their minds, and their emotions. They are walking around existing but they are not living. And people like him have nothing to lose whereas the young man who was killed lost everything when he lost his life.
This is so sad on so many levels 13 years old is a baby I have a 14 years old I can't even imagine the pain she's going through god please put your arms around her
hope he gets the maximum sentence...the young boy he killed won't get another chance at life...his life was taken
Why are the defendants family so angry with the victims family???? So strange.
He wants sympathy but doesn't show humanity and say sorry for taking another person's life.
He’s a good kid, but he carries a 9 mm Glock with a 30 round magazine under the front seat. Do they have bears in Chicago?
He’s a good kid, but he carries a 9 mm Glock with a 30 round magazine in the front seat of the car. Did I have bears and wolves in Chicago?
He will get at least 45 years before he gets parole. They will not give him parole until he has done at least 45 years.
2 grown men shooting a 13 year old boy is INSANE 😮💨🗣️🗣️ both could have been going to the NFL what a waste of human life this is the third child she has lost to gun violence smh
Even f they didn’t make the NFL, they could have had a college degree and made a life to be proud of.
Our middle school was having problems, mostly with boys. The school asked parents, especially fathers, but even uncles came and stood in hallways, the men stood proudly and spoke with the boys and girls, letting them know that they were cared about and much was expected of them as students. The parents were there for about 1.5 weeks and the rest of the school year was great (5mos). Children want boundaries and they want to see men and women, parents, family members and community showing them that they are cared about.
That's another issue. Making these boys believe there future is NFL or rap music. Teach them there are so many other careers out there they should and could strive for. Damn, they get free education handed to them. There's got to be more them just the NFL or rap music in their future.
My son is 13... He's not even my biological son but he doesn't know that and that doesn't stop me from being his father his friend his light is everything and I just can't imagine and I don't want to....😢😢😢
How disrespectful to walk out ! Says it all ! My Heart goes out to Mom ...heartbreaking
What else could they do? They’re lacking moral compass, empathy, and common sense. This is just PROOF of what people have been saying about the family.
Most likely, their example is why their relative are here in court.
This had me bawling especially when the mom spoke!😭😭😭
Did she really just say everyone deserves a second chance girl tell that to the grieving parents who won’t ever get a second chance to hug their son, love their son, applaud him, because if the defendants not giving him a chance
There is a common denominator here that people refuse to acknowledge and speak truthfully about.
Look how cocky he looks at the judge he haas no remorse
My God… this is killing me. I have a 13 year old son and my heart is breaking 😢
Same so do I smh man this is sad 😢❤
They are both sitting there looking dumb‼️ killing a 13 year old, just 2 people who deserve what they received, They took a life , & now they get LIFE‼️
My heart breaks for his mother...God help her and her family to find peace
Stop calling them "teens". They are adults and POS th*gs!! They deserve life for a life. Look at his self-entitled smugness during the victim impact statements. Poor, innocent child was gunned down while being in his own home.
RIP Marco. My heart breaks for his family.
Maurco's mom is a Rock. Stronger than she knows.
Lord, this is gut wrenching, the mom, my heart goes out to her, my prayer is that she finds peace.
The lack of remorse is incredible, the lack of any feelings at all is what todays world looks like in this generation
it's called a psychopath
My God..the pain this mother is going through..has to be beyond what any mother should have to live in..God bless her and her strength..Mamá..we the mothers of the world stand behind you..hugs sister..God bless you always 😢😢😢😢😢😢
this defence attorney referring to Victim impact statemrnt as Just Words is incredibly disrespectful to the court, the victim and all those impacted by this crime.
That caseworker should have been advised to keep quiet. Just disrespectful.
I didn’t see one father figure in their court room. So unfair they don’t stand a chance without a fathers guidance
Huh? The Defendant had family behind him and some where men . What video are you watching ?
Absolutely not true. The victims family had his grandfather speak & had several other males there.
@@mchammer157they obviously weren’t good role models are they wouldn’t be out shooting up homes and killing others.
@@dudemorris7769Not true at all, the fact is some young people are about that thug life and listen to the streets and NOT the common decency their family taught them. They know better they just don't want to do better!
He should never see the light of day ever again and see that young man's face every time he closes his eyes 👀😢
A moment of madness causes a lifetime of sadness.
What a second chance he need to go to jail for life for killing that child he know what he did and he know it is wrong so he need to pay for what he did he need to get life PERIOD
What did a little 13 yr old kid possibly do to anyone that merits his life taken from him?
What I noticed was VERY FEW BLACK MEN in the audience. It's the same ol story, no
POSITIVE MALE influence in alot of black families. It DOES make a difference in some
cases A Big Difference. I raised 2 sons & it could have went either way with them
Thank God they had older men around with common sense to talk to, not older
gangster thugs, that's no help. Men with goals men that are stable & honest is
what these PUNKS need, discipline.🌹 Moms NEED HELP, they just do. I'm Blk, 68.🌹
There are plenty of male
Influencers, they just happen to be thug rappers

Didn’t even turn to respect his own mother.
Justice has been served prayers to both families for their loss. Punishment must always be handed down and a message sent to every community.
Billips attorney, are you serious?? The way he said sorry for your loss was lame asf! PTSD? Really?! And the defendant, wow! No remorse! I have no pity for those that take a life, especially a young child! My 23 year old son was taken by gun violence in 2022 and I FEEL the mother’s pain! I’ll be going through this in 3 months. God bless you Ms. Dean!
The sister said exactly what I was thinking. How you such a good and smart person but killed or planned a shooting? How you take a life knowing that feeling of loss? My thing is how you take a innocent life at that? Smh praying for the 13yr old young boys family he forever will be 13 its so sad so young. His mom will never be the same she dramatized.
No humility, no remorse. Their families don't help the situation either. Rather than apologize & show compassion, they're angry & blame the victim. I've seen it many times & it's nonsensical. THEY didn't do anything to YOU-blame YOUR arrogant son. Outrageous behavior by adults w/ a murderer for a son. Keep that head high w/ that idiotic look on your face as u tune it all out. The way his "Godmother" swaggered up w/ her hands in her pockets & chin up high & says nothing of the victims family; the way she sits w/ her arms crossed & sour face. All too much.
God bless this Mother.😢
IF YOU NEVER SAW OR HEARD REAL PAIN, THIS IS IT.😞
@AuntBe I feel this mother’s pain. I lost my only son due to a fatal car accident. I also lost my granddaughter who was murdered. She was my son’s daughter. Today no one has been charged in her murdered. I😢😢😢😢feel her pain and heart ache. Praying along with her family. It’s not easy.
@@vondellhenson763 Please listen. I cannot imagine the pain you are in. It will stay with you forever.
Your son needed his daughter with him. He left too early. She left you to be with him.
That will comfort you. Remember that. They are together.🙏❤️
I will keep you in my prayers and please feel the hug I am sending you through this message.
You are not alone. They are right beside you. They have each other.
They will be there to greet you when it is your turn and it will feel like there was no time between.
God bless you.❤️🙏
@@AuntBee59 thank you.
A pain that no one could ever imagine. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I am going through this now. Trial in 3 months. I lost my baby boi at 23 in 2022 to senseless gun violence.
You can tell the defendant is angry now, he doesn't show any remorse or compassion for what his own family is going through. Take the attitude to prison where you belong, society and his own family' will have a better life.
Maybe I misread Jackson’s attitude, but I swear the way he raised his head throughout looked like arrogance to me. Only he and God know his heart but to get 32 years for being the “big man” is hopefully a lesson to others that it’s not worth it.
No he's crying inside!!!
They try to act hard in the courtroom but they will cry to themselves at night. Took a life now serving life and for what…. to prove loyalty to a gang?? Where are those homeboys at now ? They can’t save you from the justice system. These young men had opportunities to seek out great things but chose gang things.
My condolences to the families of the victims. Stay strong and keep their memories alive in your hearts.
Oh my goodness that second criminal I almost feel like the attorney representing him makes you want to believe he’s one of the victims as well. It’s amazing how criminal attorneys can take a vile, selfish, narcissistic violent criminal, and turn them into a victim as well. Basically the attorney for the defense in the second criminal has stated that the violent murderer has already redeemed himself, and if they would just go easy on them, he would show just how nice it is for young murdering criminals to have a second chance. Don’t forget how well that worked out in the Darrell Brooks case, I have also never heard less emotion in an apology to a family than when he turned to the family and said basically I feel you. Is there anything less sincere than a defense attorney at sentencing? I doubt it I think the best thing that Attorney could’ve done was kept his mouth shut
They take the mark of the beast if they all refused criminals would have to hire one themselves instead of tax payers being forced to
No father again
They need to take the word rehabilitation out of the court. Don't know anyone that's been rehabilitated. There should be a mandatory sentence with no leniency. No plea deals.
So some 19 yr olds went after a 13 yr old..this will never make sense!😢 They are some sad azz individuals and complete lack of values.😢
My heart breaks for the victims' mother. I can understand the stoicism of the defendents' family in standing behind their own son, but if someone from the killers' family draped their mouth to say, ' Dig him up. '.. Shame on them.
RIP little Marco.
My heart breaks for this family 💔.
May God bless them and put His arms around them and bring them peace.
My heart goes out to this mother 😢😢, these animals should've got life without parole, I don't care how old they are they don't deserve to ever see the light of another day...
Both families are suffering she says. We're not worried about his family we're worried about the victims family!!
HELLO!!???
Swivelling around on a chair no remorse while the victims family is pouring their hearts out.
A coward with a gun is never a good thing...
The young man showed no remorse what so ever for taking a life.... praying for the mother and everyone that was affected by the lost of this 13 year old child 🙏
Big sister said it. I see mom was a lot angrier than the 1st but I see why, him smiling at them during trial is ugly.
Give it a year, they will then begin to feel the weight of the length of time in prison. Crime and punishment.
The mother brought me to tears 😢 big time. My heart is broken for her and her pain.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I am crying here at the doctor's office 😭💔 he sits there with no remorse so sad our kids are killing each other 😢
I know what a shame and mad dogging Marco sister with a smile him and his friend need to reap everything they sow until the end of time for doing this to Marco this is so sad
@@goldenstarr8469
I promise you they will be quietly weeping dozens of nights under their sheets in prison.
I like judges that protect the public.
I know it wouldn’t bring her son back I wish I could give his mother a hug 🤗 my deepest condolences. 💐 😢😢💔💔
Rest In Peace young soldier
🕊🕊🕊🕊 🕊
in the end nobody wins.
This defendant is probably going to get his cheeks busted
What an amazing family. If we can’t learn from that family, Grace magnanimity strength of character, true faith, and the ability to look at this very vicious crime through the eyes. Through the eyes of character, so rare. I was so inspired by the family. Even the grandfathers short words were filled with strength and obvious wisdom. May that family know the strength of their face, and the purity of the word of God as they show it in their statements. Wow, what an example for the rest of us
The defendants are both adults. They knew what they were doing. No morals were taught in the home.
Totally
R. I. L. young man.
I didn't personally know you. But; I send my condolences to you and your mother.
May God provide her all that she is going to need, in the years to come.

Where are the well known community leaders.
People need to raise their own kids!
@@teresacollins9218true but community support and expectations are important. I’ve watched the difference it can make many times over the year. Men don’t appreciate the difference they can make in children’s lives. They don’t seem to get their value.
@@kenyonbissett3512 that's true but sadly it's not enough volunteer mentors or community programs to help a lot of our wayward lost teens.
It's hard to help mentor or correct children when some of the ppl in the black community don't want you reprimanding their children.
@@teresacollins9218 probably true, but you have to start somewhere.
