Franklin Barnes is currently in Collin County Jail. In June 2018 four cases were filed against Barnes in Collin County court, 3 charges of Attempt to Commit Murder and one charge of Murder. In July 2018 a case was filed with the charge of Capital Murder of Multiple Persons in Tarrant County courts. These cases have yet to go to trial.
That boy is innocent don't look like a killer y'all need to do y'all damn job n find the killer give him a lie detector test so he can prove he innocent so he can leave..yall do believe n them... y'all need to go ask his damn weed man
Number One I can’t ever tell if comments like this are humor or what you honestly believe. “Be safe. Keep ya head up. DON’T DO NOTHING STUPID.” What a great way to end that interview. Cell phone placed him there. HE ADMITTED BEING THERE. Drove an hour at 4 or 5 in the morning to visit his gf an hour away? Texts showing he bought weed/knew who he killed. You’re right. Just classic racist America jailing another random black kid because he’s black. This is why the black race never succeeds and breaks barriers. It’s always ‘he’s innocent. It’s racism.’ Like were you with him then? How do you know he’s innocent? It’s just the go to for everything. He’s innocent. Free my homie. Ya dig.
This is so crazy I went to job corps with this guy he didn’t kill anyone he’s cool and outgoing I hope he gets out and get to live his life I hate to see him like this.
I'm no physcological expert but if I ever saw someone telling the truth and facts the way it happened then it's that young man right there. I hope that he will get the justice he deserves and eventually be free to live life in the way he chooses. Freedom please for this young man
N a real life situation,his state lawyer may not give not one bit,he may need to get a copy from the guy interviewing him,it's all sound up up,he needs to find all the ppl who has his back now,have them write out statements for your records,pass crimes,schooling,goals n life,keep your head up,you will be your best or worst power,it's looking really bad ,get all your records bout everything, of the dead,ppl paperwork....proof of were u were at that time.....cme
Anaya Chanel I respect your comment so much. Simple, but so powerful!! Faith as real as yours seems moves mountains!!! It’ll work out for him. I hope life is fruitful and prosperous for you and that you continue to be blessed.
You can feel his energy!! Bro innocent until proven guilty god got your man stay strong 💪🏾 I believe they got the wrong man seems like a good guy who got dealt the wrong hand hope you get the justice you deserve bro much love .
Facts. He look like a teen stoner who got alot of gangbanging friends but he aint built for jail. This man talking bout "keep your face in the bible". He innocent asf. ShesMacy
StendoBeatz He's still locked up. It's not looking good for him. 3 of the survivors that were shot had identified him as the shooter in a photo line up
I'm with you 100%, all things are possible with God. The problem here is that God is truth and you can't say you have faith in God while you are relying on deception. This young man doesn't seem to have grasped that concept, he should admit to his guilt and then put his faith in God.
OHIO ONE I don’t think he did it. Are you God? No, so don’t spread judgement. You don’t know if he did it or not. Truth will come but he is innocent unless proven guilty.
@Delgado smooth I hope (for his sake) he didn't. However, it is hard to argue with the victims (who were shot) that have identified him as the shooter. So if I understand you, you mean the victims are lying? Why would his own people do that? There is far too much damning evidence. I can't stand the thought of judging anyone, especially when their life is on the line. I'm only saying the facts don't "add up" and I'm not going to point my finger at the victims. The only other thing I can think of is he's been set up.
I know when someone is lying. He isn’t lying. I hope he doesn’t stay locked up in jail for the rest of his life just because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is so heartbreaking.
sheskimusic multiple people that he shot survived and all said it was him. It was him, just because he can keep his cool doesn’t mean he’s innocent, if anything it shows he’s empty inside and doesn’t feel remorse.

Are the guys behind the camera detectives or reporters???? Is this an interview or an interrogation??? Who the hell is his lawyer? This whole thing should have not went down.
This is a foolish young man attempt to get some PR time. I can only assume his lawyer tried to advise him to keep his mouth shut "they don't want me to talk about the case...", but this boy thinks he knows better.
I can tell he's innocent. They're just looking for any black man to convict. I pray he gets a second chance. This is a sweet innocent young man. The reporter is truly a wastecase.
I hate to say it but I hope he does to at least clear his name or shorten his sentence this boy is young he has his whole life ahead of him I hope things worked out for him
In Gods name you will be out, this has been going on for ages. Young black men being convicted of crimes they did not commit. The people sold weed and people come and go all day. I see this young man in the next few years being released and suing the state. His Faith is strong, the reporter trying to confuse him. Stay strong the truth will prevail.
Ikr ? That young man's an old soul....AND innocent of that crime. Our Most High God, Ancestor's, Spirit Guides.... PLEASE release this young man from the hands of the unjust and prison and allow ALL those who are apart of his time behind bars, reap what they have sown in this lifetime, let them want sleep but never get it, let them want food but their bodies reject it, let them suffer life here on Earth any way that you see fit until they repent, apologize and tell the truth about this young man being innocent.
Pain??? "Arlington Police say you're responsible for two people shot and killed there" "Yeah, I heard about that" Wtf kind of response is that? He may not have done it, but no doubt he was there and involved somehow.
@@bigchungus7930 I'm not against him, I hope for his sake he didn't do it, the trouble is the victims (who are still alive) all say he did. I just wonder why you're so sure he didn't do it? I mean, you can't just say he didn't do it without facts, otherwise you're calling the witnesses liars.
Kid was smart didn’t tell on him self or let that white guy incriminate him because that’s exactly what that white guy tried to do he did that to another person in a interview
miguel Rodriguez the white guy just wanted him to explain his side of the story he never once asked him to admit to the murders also how would the white guy have anything to do with the kid’s decision to incriminate himself or not? Don’t bring race into it that’s bs
Guilty people keep bringing up god to play on the emotions of others. All he’s saying is god this god that. He does come off as innocent to the untrained eye. I agree. Probably been manipulating his whole life
This is so sad. It's so important that we use wisdom and stay out of situations where we could find ourselves in trouble. Everything that we do ties into everything. Stay away from shady people and don't do shady things. Not everything is the Devil's fault...
Not only is he still in jail, he's been indicted by two separate counties on multiple charges of first degree murder with special circumstances, making him eligible for lethal injection. What an injustice. He talks about God and everything.
@@lyricala8839He looks like a nice kid, has a gentle way about him, talks about his mom and his belief that God will intervene. Expressed an interest in becoming a doctor. He couldn't have done this. Prosecutors say he deliberately shot people in the face. They have eye witnesses, his cell phone texts, and a lot more for sure. Don't know if his girl friend took a plea deal to testify, or if they recovered the gun, but both indictments were handed down by Grand Juries. Not only do the district attorneys from two different places have to be sure he's the killer, they had to convince, with the evidence and witnesses, 2 grand juries. He still gets to have 2 trials, 2 juries to hear his defense against the charges, and 2 chances to get sentenced to execution if he is convicted.
Reach41 Right, He Couldn’t Have Did This. Well I Don’t Think He Have, His Strong Belief In God Just Got Me, And I Seen Scary Things On The Street And I Can Tell You That’s Not The Face Of a Killer. His Eyes Screams Mistake And Regret.
This young man held his ground His Faith is strong God will watch over you and your family I believe in Franklin Barnes Keeping you in my prayers brother
Interviewer racist and he keep trying to twist the interview and make it seem like franklin did the crime 🤦♂️. I hope u get out bro bro and sue the system. Free Franklin💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
What indication do you have that you would call him racist? Throwing that word around when you don't like a white person is the reason the word often times hold no weight.
So from my understanding he went to buy weed the guy he purchased from ended up dead they assume it was him because his cell phone pinged that location around that time which makes sense if he purchased weed but did they find a gun or anything when they went to his home??? Man talk about being at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Do anyone have an update on him? I would love to know! I hope he got to go home.
First two in car, engine still running, he purchased weed, both dead. They had to of had more information first on him before requesting phone records. They can't go to a phone company and say hey give me all pings in this vicinity etc. So either cameras, someone got the car and licence plate. There is at least two people here Franklin and the girlfriend, but his story is her friend was with them, so did her friend wait behind, was she in the car with them, did she drive and follow them. So potential 1 or 2 witnesses here? He then travelled to the next dealer and he's dead as well. The GF is now in her friends car per him saying in his interview, ( assume to went back home/school etc.) Doubt you can be in the wrong place, at the wrong time for two different murders. He is still awaiting trial. Takes a while if two different counties, two different cases, two different prosecutions, two different judges, two different lawyers (maybe can only find one) two different law enforcements, two different juries, and then throw in the pandemic, lockdown, all cases pushed back etc bizarre how it's not ready for court though.
@Dest Iny I was thinking the same thing..so 3 dead and he placed himself in the 2nd location. So did he shoot the other 3 to throw investigators off like it was random. I don't believe him honestly. Coincidences too close.
His weed man could of had some serious beef in them streets and this young man name just got tied to him by him being the last contact at that particular time...he needs a good lawyer to step up and take over his case...something must give I believe he is innocent !
Doxie Bernard: now you know all black people are guilty until proven innocent this ain't no law and order i don't think that the laws work the same for us when it comes to the law it's like we are in some kind of altered universe where the laws just don't work for us kind of like how slavery was for our ancestors i don't think the laws worked too well for them either. Blessings 🙏
@@wesleywatson4985 the system is truly broken.. so is my heart thinking of all the innocently imprisoned..and everyone who served longer than they needed to.

Thought meek mill was a gospel rapper bruh thanks for enlightening me. STUPID
Let me get this straight, the only evidence they have on him is his phone records? But no witnesses or physical evidences at all, but yet still charged him?
Why did this young brother talk to this reporter, first thing we need to remember is that you have the right to remain silent and anything you say can and WILL be used against you!
Li Taylor; Li's Life pretty sure he didn't have money for a good lawyer he got a court appointed lawyer which wont care if he goes away for life and he didn't know any better from this interview . His life is most likely over
Probably had to get a public defender. So their working the 1000000 other cases they got that day. Shits messed up. This dude seems innocent. I hope a big time lawyer sees these and helps him pro bono
He's innocent, u can tell by his face, voice, and movement, you can tell he is trying not to cry cuz he's being blamed of killing his friend and 2 others.
He is INNOCENT!! The blind can see that. They crucifying him because he not snitching but u can see that he knows who did it tho. That interviewer aint no journalist either
The interviewer had no idea what a plug was, bet he had no idea what kicking it means either 😂 and when he said ya dig in wondering if the interviewer understood one word the dude had to say
@@NUKE-W.E.F. hes living by street code, snitches get stitches which is honorable, i just hope his lawyer has enough evidence to prove he didnt do it. This kid doesnt deserve to go to jail 4 life. Anytime in jail is too much time, unless u really r guilty. I am from Canada where we dont have the death penalty and just legalized weed. A kid his age would have a fighting chance in the system; i just think of all the stupid stuff i did at his age but wasnt caught. Kids have no concept of consequences, like maybe this is a bad situation i should walk away from!

Why tf is he so concerned with the Weedman & how much he bought?! I feel so bad for this kid man, I feel like he’s innocent. They just wanna lock another young black man up 😒
achantehickman U look amazing
Zefrone dude you do not know me or if my head is “right” or not. Just dismiss yourself
Ya right, the cops don't arrest white folks no more, you're racist as they come
Keep thinking like that smh
OHIO ONE there is more black young men incarcerated in the prison system than white people ! get your facts right aint nothing racist about the facts! white people get so mad when we complain about the system! WHITE PRIVILEGE REMEMBER THAT!!!
He is innocent he is afraid to drop names because someone might come for his family... Someone fight for this man.. Please God help him..
Travis Kamau He’s innocent but he ain’t a snitch neither💯
His mama needs to tell me not to take a wrap for not being willing to snitch!!

That boy didn't do that ..

He aint do it💯
Rhonda Eaton if he fights the case & loses he'd be looking at double the time...If he doesn't fight it he'd be looking at anywhere between 10-85
There’s nothing to fight! The 3 survivors told authorities it was him, what r u talking about🤷🏽♀️
Sad. This isn’t even an interview it’s an interrogation. Very surprised someone with an ongoing case would agree to do an interview like this.
He is as cold a killer as you're ever likely to come across. He has been convicted and his guilt is now beyond question. He thought he could brazen it out in this interview, the sheer arrogance of him is frightening. Probably reared as an only child and got into the habit of doubling down on lies to his parents until he was believed through lack of evidence to the contrary. This can often be the case with compulsive and arrogant liars.
Are the guys behind the camera detectives or reporters???? Is this an interview or an interrogation??? Who the hell is his lawyer?
This whole thing should have not went down.
Reece Savage for real man... injustice
Yup
This is a foolish young man attempt to get some PR time. I can only assume his lawyer tried to advise him to keep his mouth shut "they don't want me to talk about the case...", but this boy thinks he knows better.
Definitely a live interrogation I bet you that was a detective asking the questions
Taking advantage of people, their ignorance and their vulnerability. He’s too busy praying for and encouraging them to keep their heads up!
I can tell he's innocent. They're just looking for any black man to convict. I pray he gets a second chance. This is a sweet innocent young man. The reporter is truly a wastecase.

In Gods name you will be out, this has been going on for ages. Young black men being convicted of crimes they did not commit. The people sold weed and people come and go all day. I see this young man in the next few years being released and suing the state. His Faith is strong, the reporter trying to confuse him. Stay strong the truth will prevail.
still think he's innocent?? 😂😂😂
I knew he was telling the truth when he was talkin about God and he said “ Ya dig”

Ikr ? That young man's an old soul....AND innocent of that crime. Our Most High God, Ancestor's, Spirit Guides.... PLEASE release this young man from the hands of the unjust and prison and allow ALL those who are apart of his time behind bars, reap what they have sown in this lifetime, let them want sleep but never get it, let them want food but their bodies reject it, let them suffer life here on Earth any way that you see fit until they repent, apologize and tell the truth about this young man being innocent.
What this old man is doing to this young man, his grand kids will reap what he is doing to this young man The police is in on this.

And It’s Crazy Because He’s Still In Jail, My Prayers Go Out To Him And His Family.
Not only is he still in jail, he's been indicted by two separate counties on multiple charges of first degree murder with special circumstances, making him eligible for lethal injection. What an injustice. He talks about God and everything.
Reach41 Wow, Thats Crazy.
Nate Diaz Couldn't Beat a Rattata Yes.
@@lyricala8839He looks like a nice kid, has a gentle way about him, talks about his mom and his belief that God will intervene. Expressed an interest in becoming a doctor. He couldn't have done this.
Prosecutors say he deliberately shot people in the face. They have eye witnesses, his cell phone texts, and a lot more for sure. Don't know if his girl friend took a plea deal to testify, or if they recovered the gun, but both indictments were handed down by Grand Juries. Not only do the district attorneys from two different places have to be sure he's the killer, they had to convince, with the evidence and witnesses, 2 grand juries. He still gets to have 2 trials, 2 juries to hear his defense against the charges, and 2 chances to get sentenced to execution if he is convicted.
Reach41 Right, He Couldn’t Have Did This. Well I Don’t Think He Have, His Strong Belief In God Just Got Me, And I Seen Scary Things On The Street And I Can Tell You That’s Not The Face Of a Killer. His Eyes Screams Mistake And Regret.

@@johnnyseed9257 you don’t know if he did it or not how can you just assume
@@johnnyseed9257 that’s a whole life at the end of the day, people get wrongfully convicted all the time
I love how strong his faith is in the Lord.
It always is when you do something stupid and get caught.
So from my understanding he went to buy weed the guy he purchased from ended up dead they assume it was him because his cell phone pinged that location around that time which makes sense if he purchased weed but did they find a gun or anything when they went to his home??? Man talk about being at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Do anyone have an update on him? I would love to know! I hope he got to go home.
First two in car, engine still running, he purchased weed, both dead. They had to of had more information first on him before requesting phone records. They can't go to a phone company and say hey give me all pings in this vicinity etc. So either cameras, someone got the car and licence plate. There is at least two people here Franklin and the girlfriend, but his story is her friend was with them, so did her friend wait behind, was she in the car with them, did she drive and follow them. So potential 1 or 2 witnesses here?
He then travelled to the next dealer and he's dead as well. The GF is now in her friends car per him saying in his interview,
( assume to went back home/school etc.)
Doubt you can be in the wrong place, at the wrong time for two different murders.
He is still awaiting trial. Takes a while if two different counties, two different cases, two different prosecutions, two different judges, two different lawyers (maybe can only find one) two different law enforcements, two different juries, and then throw in the pandemic, lockdown, all cases pushed back etc bizarre how it's not ready for court though.
What about the other complex that he went to? The one with his friend do they have any evidence of that?
@Dest Iny I was thinking the same thing..so 3 dead and he placed himself in the 2nd location. So did he shoot the other 3 to throw investigators off like it was random. I don't believe him honestly. Coincidences too close.
His weed man could of had some serious beef in them streets and this young man name just got tied to him by him being the last contact at that particular time...he needs a good lawyer to step up and take over his case...something must give I believe he is innocent !
