- “Mama, don’t leave me here”
On May 12th, 2003, 13 year-old Tyler Edmonds walks into the police station in Starkville, Mississippi with his mother, but as soon as he arrives, cops separate mother and son, and bring Tyler to an interrogation room, alone. He doesn’t know this yet, but his own big sister has named him as the murderer of her husband, Joey Fulgham. Alone, confused, and scared, Tyler is bullied into making a false confession, leading to a life sentence without parole in one of the most notorious prisons in the United States, and now, the young teen has to fight for his freedom, and make sure the real killer pays for their crimes.

“While I can pick up my pieces slowly and try to put them back together, he can’t.” The fact that this young man had his life stolen from him and still has the humility to speak about Joey like that says a lot. Proud of Tyler for his bravery, proud of his mama for her dedication, and proud of the lawyers for caring.
❤
Exactly
💯 Tyler is an amazing young man with a big heart and a strong mind.

Horrible sister, shitty cops, great attorney, strong mother.
Period
Fully agree
Agree 💯.
I wonder does she visit her daughter…
Getting out of jail- priceless.
She got the death sentence and let her younger brother go to jail for no reason and STILL wouldn’t say anything in his defense? She is a disgusting excuse for a human
She ain't no human
We call that kind of disgusting human a MONSTER
Definitely a Demon
Because she was waiting for a retrial it looks like. She lost that trial too.
classic psychopath clearly
The judicial system failed this child, and his family. If you take a child and (based on the words of a woman you already know is guilty), manipulate him, omit evidence, and falsely imprison him. Then, at the very least, you can compensate both him and his family, for stealing his youth, and leaving his mother with crippling debt just to correct your mistake. The courts, and the police, need to be held to a higher standard than this.
Absolutely, the failures in the judicial system can have devastating consequences, especially for innocent individuals and their families. It's essential that there are mechanisms in place to compensate those who have been wrongfully convicted and to hold accountable those responsible for such miscarriages of justice. No one should have to suffer due to the negligence or misconduct of law enforcement and the courts. Holding them to a higher standard is crucial for maintaining trust and integrity in our legal system.
@@3winanimal This is the most AI-looking comment I've come across on social media. *sigh* Not insipid AI comments in RUclips, too... Is nothing going to be human-generated anymore?
Okay so you think women should be in prison because they finally struck back ag ainst their abusers?
@@litrogue6328yes and they should be put in prison for aborting their babies.
@@litrogue6328Yes.
He could easily have accepted the manslaughter charge, moved to a different place and got on with his life. The fact he risked everything just to prove his innocence and is now campaigning to stop corrupt police from coercing children into false confessions she’s incredible character!
Right now I'm suing the FBI and state police for crimes against humanity where I am. I was railroaded into being falsely imprisoned at 7 years old. Stripped of my rights, psychically and psychologically tortured. For having committed no crimes whatsoever. Fast forward to 2023, everyone involved confessed in front of a judge. Provided written notarized and witnessed confessions. It ruined my life at 7 years old. The government still doesn't care, treats me like a common criminal. I still have no rights whatsoever, I was diagnosed with CPTSD from the whole ordeal.

“Someone that will lie to protect his sister will lie to protect himself.” DUDE. Those two things are contradictory! If he lied to protect his sister, why would he HAVE to lie to protect himself? Makes no sense
Seriously!! The predator can not be the victim, vise versa. His sister took advantage of a good kid.
That were my thoughts exactly. I am watching a lot of crime and I keep being flabbergasted how in US attorneys constantly try to play on people's emotions instead of sticking to facts and logic, and often what they are saying doesn't even make any sense, like in this case.
Well they had to go through the formalities and niceties of a trial, and that remark by the prosecutor was so dumb that I almost think he said it on purpose because he wanted to lose.
honestly, it must be so hard to have the job of arguing against tyler. Felt bad for him because he is just doing his job.
This is mythoughts too
These cops are awful. They couldn't be bothered to record Kristy manipulating her brother? Common sense tells you that's what was going to happen. They were criminals themselves, attempting to ruin this young boys life when he didn't do anything.
All cops suck.
Yes absolutely
You haven’t been watching murder mysteries very long. A fair portion of them are just like that. I believe there are statistics that claim 25% of them are psychopaths. I imagine more judges are. These people are not your friends and enjoy hurting people.
The worst part is there far from the only cops that have done this. A lot of detectives only care about closing a case. That don't care if it's the right person getting charged with the crime.
They don’t care about the truth the only thing they cared about is to find someone to convict in the crime
When the prosecutor proclaimed that Tyler "lied" when he confessed to the crime, he proclaimed Tyler's innocence.
Damn!
Now THAT’S a good mother 🥺 Proud of her for making such huge sacrifices in the name of justice for her baby.
To throw her adolescent brother - a brother who adored her - under the bus like that is abominable. What an amazing Mum and an incredible young man.
And incredible attorney
"sugar and spice and everything nice. Thats what little girls are made of"
society is against men from the moment they are born. This patriarchy bs is just a cover so people dont realize that women cant be slaves. The slaves were not the ones staying home while the master worked...
British
You know just as well as I that killers are cold to the touch. Human life ceases to have meaning for them whether friend, family or foe. I feel like I'm telling you nothing new.
@@BMP2Ureally?😮
It should be 100% illegal to interrogate any minor without a parent or legal guardian. If not available, a child advocate approved by the courts should step in on behalf of the child.
could have sworn it was at least in most states. guess im wrong. lol. maybe its changed now.
(2) When it is necessary to take a child into custody, the least restrictive custody should be selected.
(3) Unless the child is immediately released, the person taking the child into custody shall immediately notify the judge or his designee. Except when a child is endangered by a parent, guardian or custodian, before any interrogation may take place of a child who is seventeen (17) years of age or younger, law enforcement shall notify the child's parent, guardian or custodian and shall require the parent, guardian or custodian to be present during any questioning.
(4) A child taken into custody shall not be held in custody for a period longer than reasonably necessary, but not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours, and shall be released to his parent, guardian or custodian unless the judge or his designee authorizes temporary custody.
it should be (and i thought it was) 100% illegal to interrogate ANYONE without a lawyer present. like tyler said, a lot of adults don't know the system and how it's stacked against the accused, you have a constitutional RIGHT to an attorney and any interrogation that takes place without one present should be considered to be coerced and inadmissible in court.
@@benjib0yyy It used to be an unwritten rule when it came to minors. It was never the law. This boy is far from the first kid to be railroaded into a conviction based on forced confessions.
@@thecongenital3035 What state has this law?
What a mother that lady is. This should be a movie. Many years ago I remember seeing a TV movie called A Death in Canaan about an 18-year-old who was coerced into a false confession for the murder of his mother after EIGHT hours of unsupervised interrogation without an attorney in 1973. Unfortunately, he didn't have a wonderful mother to advocate for him. He only avoided prison because a couple of celebrities who read about his case came to his aid. Tyler's story is even more compelling because he was 13 at the time, was framed by an evil sister, actually spent five years imprisoned, and had a warrior for a mom and a lawyer.
She a terrible wife
@@edwardr9130 What does that have to do with saving her son?
@@L1623VP its is self explanatory to save her son, any mom will do this.
I really like that he turns his own suffering into a blessing for others by advocating changes for the benefit of others.
Case shouldve been thrown out when the police questioned him without mum. What a sick sister.
Was just thinking that. Isn't it illegal to interrogate a minor without a parent/guardian present? If it's not, it should be. Edit: Never mind, just got to the part of the video where they address that.
I completely agree!
How the hell did allow the main suspect to speak to the child. Unbelievable.
Im pretty sure that alone would get the whole case thrown out
They tried to do that with my dad and I. When I was 9-10 my dad tried to traffick me into the dark web whenever I visited him. When I was 16 years later he was caught… they wanted me to testify in front of him. I said no I am not going to do that
Right and if so, why wouldn’t it be recorded! I wouldn’t doubt it if it was but they knew it could come back on them and made it disappear.
This is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. Those officers also needs to be punished
@@melihakgul4758 that would require them to actually do their jobs
Tyler was not a close friend of mine but we ran in the same circles in school and he really was a sweet spirit, so smart and loving. He ended up being my prom date after he was released in the months approaching prom and graduation. So glad that the truth prevailed, I just hate that her selfishness cost him such a high price. He deserves to be so happy ❤
Where did this happen? How is he after he is out? (Curious)
You can really see the good and innocence from Tylers eyes. Nothing but light in him. God bless him and his mother ❤
What an amazing young man …trying to protect his sister who couldn’t give a damn about her little brother.
As for his mum who lost everything, she should be refunded every penny
I wouldn't call it amazing. he probably felt threatened by his sister due to the fact he might be next, ever thought about it that way?
@@liveyourdreammedia His sister didn't need to threaten him because she had already manipulated him into thinking she was the best thing since sliced bread. She knew him, she watched him grow up and played on his vulnerability, naivety and his love for her.
He actually is an amazing young man to have come through that ordeal and then dedicating his life to help other youngsters.
Yes plus’s
completely agree
His sister is evil, a heartless psycho
I agree with Tyler, there should be an attorney when a child is being interrogated, because often enough in these situation, it’s a family member manipulating them to say things and pull the emotion strings.
They should not have separated him from his mother lol its annoying how many issues like this happen mostly because of negligence! I hate cases that could be one quicker but because of stupidity of ego, they miss things & cause more harm!
In the UK it's illegal for Police to question a minor without an "appropriate adult" present. Be it parent, social worker or lawyer. Children can too easily ge coerced or intimidated into making false confessions to please aggressive adults questioning them.
@@darkangellew There are laws and even supreme court decisions on this issue. If he is under arrest, they have the right to question him BUT they are legally forced to read him his Miranda rights before any questions AND his age must be taken into account and his mental understanding of the Miranda rights. Basically, if he doesn't understand his rights, then his mother or an attorney need to be present to help him or any confession can be thrown away. 2011 Supreme court case of J.D.B. vs North Carolina where a boy was questioned in a room after a cop pulled him out of his class. The child felt he had no choice but to talk because he was detained but his rights were not read until AFTER the cop got the confession. The Supreme Court ordered the lower courts to reconsider the situation because of the child's age and situation in determining if he understood his rights.
Cops are absolute MONSTERS
Minors have the same right to an attorney that adults do, I raised my kids with strong sibling bonds and a healthy knowledge of their right to remain silent.
This case is incredible! How the legal system got away with the abuse of Tyler for so long is unbelievable. Well done to all involved in seeing it through. I hope Tyler & his mother are living happily & Joeys family can find peace. Rest in peace.
Indeed, it's remarkable how perseverance and dedication ultimately led to justice being served in Tyler's case. The prolonged abuse he endured within the legal system is truly disheartening, but the fact that it was eventually rectified is a testament to the importance of advocacy and accountability. I share your hope for Tyler and his mother to find happiness, and for Joey's family to find peace. May they all find solace and closure in the truth prevailing.
You’re a great mom, you gave up everything to let your innocent son be freed, and your son appears to be a great man and live in his best life now with hurdles to jump but the love between you two is inspiring. Thank you for your story.
It’s heartwarming to know that he is supporting his mom now. She gave up everything in her entire life for him. I hope they have a happy life together.
Jobs are something you get. Not something you are born with.
God Bless You and may your innocence be shouted off the roof by the angels that are surrounding you. God please protect this son by your guardian angels and let the truth be known.
That’s so far fetched I wonder if it’s a projection
@@rebelsocietyWtf?
Tyler, as a big brother to 3 sisters, I totally understand doing anything in my power to keep them safe. What you have gone through is nothing short of extraordinary and to come out the other side battling for others after what you had gone through, well it just shows how truly amazing you are.
Children at that age cannot be held responsible. This is highly immoral.
"What is your child's life worth?" That shook me.
When she said that I said out loud, "My child's life is worth everything to me."
@@razztazz1982Me too!
My child’s life is worth my own…
Fr shit makes u think
Oh man words can’t even explain❤
"Someone who will lie to protect his sister, will lie to protect himself." That is the biggest load of bs i have ever heard. That makes absolutely no sense. If anything, it is the complete opposite.
I agree
Yes, if he lied to protect his sister, he is innocent, so I don't know why that guy brings up the other lie.
Right! That was total hoskaplop.
Only an idiot says something like that. It's a complete contradiction.
Exactly…and if he in fact lied to protect his sister…wth did he do that he would need protection for??
I'm so proud to hear of all the GREAT things Tyler has done with his life!!! Tyler, you are an amazing man!!!💜💙💚💛
Bless the real pathologist for proving his innocence. They discrepancy in confession versus the crime scene should've been part of the first trial.
This is utterly ridiculous. Thirteen years old? Dirty ass cops.
You’ll be shocked to see how young some murders are
@@Ooooooooooooopo that’s true, but the issue here is these cops used underhanded tactics to force that confession out of him.
All they wanted was a confession to close the investigation.
Modern science knows that the human brain doesnt reach maturity until the early 20’s yet the USA convicts very young teenagers under 16 sometimes for life
Its ridiculous !
Many other countries have more common sense
Glad hes out & hope he has a good life
THey just wanted a conviction, yeah. They intimidated and manipulated a thirteen year old.
Such a strong mother
God bless the family. ❤ did not deserve to go through this, nobody does
Yes she is strong. Still, she and her family should not have had to go through this. I wonder what other kinds of great things they would be doing for their community if they had not had to fight this uphill battle. If only law enforcement had done their jobs in the first place with common sense.
“Mama don’t leave me here” 😭 ❤ poor baby that made me cry
All because a psychopath couldn't file for divorce... she cheated on Joey and he STILL hung in there!! She is a monster
As someone who is the oldest sister of 7, I could NEVER imagine doing that to one of my siblings. I love them like they are my own kids. Soo sad 😥
I hate that line adults use on kids, “You calling me a liar?” Like the system doesn’t care about the truth, just the confession.
Reminds me of an incident in school; I dropped my lunch box and said SHOOT in front of the vice principal but because it was so loud, he thought I cussed. I said I didn’t and he hit me with the “You calling me a liar,” card and I folded. I should have said, “Yes I am. I said shoot as in shoot-fire.”
I’m glad the kid managed to prove his innocence but his sister was just evil, plain and simple.
That principal is the worst influence for a child.
Classic gaslighting and imbalance of power.
@@somcana Abuse of power + power tripping + fragile ego.
Certain school personnel don't belong in their jobs, they feel little so they have to bully kids!
@@somcanaAn officer is trained to use that line on adults too. Sickening, but true.
When you see tears in the attorney's eyes, you know they believed their client to be innocent
Yes but the mothers tears did not stop her attorney from charging her as much money as he could get out of her! He could’ve done it pro bono
@dianawatton7570 would you expect a doctor to treat you for free? No. At the end of the day, it's his job. An attorney comes across many innocent clients but still needs to make a living. He can't do all of them pro bono. At least she got her money's worth. Another lawyer wouldn't have tried as hard.
@@dianawatton7570the case went on for 5 years! Can you be sure you would do that if you were in his position?
@@NikkoAceThis is right. Even if he cut the fees down to expenses only, it would still be expensive.
@@dianawatton7570It’s his job, silly Billy. He can’t work for 5 years without a paycheque 🤣
What a mother - son duo ❤️❤️
this case made me so emotional, the fact that im also an older sister to a younger brother i cant ever imagine doing something like this to him, as the oldest sibling of us two, i feel like its my duty to protect my younger sibling and take care of him. His older sister is just pure evil
So they brought his sister to the interrogation room left them alone to talk and DiDN'T record the conversation?
Correct.
@@cornypinkuni9519nah they recorded it but they destroyed it because it doesn’t look good for their easy guilty verdict
@@Iog0ut I had the very same thought.
Ya fked up right
It is hard to believe, and I still do not believe it. Police record such conversations to hear confessions.
Much respect for his lawyer. He never gave up.
Wow. What a testimony of tenacity and strength. One of the rare times it really does end well.😊
Kudos to the jury for seeing through the bs lies of the sister, the cops and everyone else who tried to keep this young man incarcerated.
This is just disgusting, she killed someone innocent and then tried to get another innocent person into jail. I'm no saint but It takes a special kind of evil to do something like this.
He wasn't innocent. He held the gun on Joey as he slept, pulled the trigger, then as Joey lay bleeding and dying, he reached in his pocket and stole his paycheck that he had just cashed. Then he and Kristy went to party at the casino. He's guilty and got away with murder.
Her little brother too, who loved her. Depraved level of evil.
@@mjremy2605fr
typical woman
Women don't have morals anymore bro
They fake rape cases
They get with men they don't want just to get pregnant
They believe they should have every right to everything but men should be subservient to their rights
Modern women are literally what feminists pretend men are like
Watch many videos like this and it's almost always the female involved who manipulated the men
It's how they are raised today that's causing it
What an absolutely loving mother!!! When she said 'WHAT IS YOUR CHILD'S WORTH' it gave me goosebumps as a parent. May god bless this family.
The sister was her child too. Where she get that evil from.
Shocking reply with no basis with that horrid opinion. Psychopaths are born, not made.
@@BubblesChikaIncorrect. It’s literally the opposite.
@@mindoftheswarm7 No, it isn't. You're thinking of a sociopath
@@BubblesChika who are you responding to? Nature vs nurture is a long debated topic and there have been cases made for both, there's no telling what makes a psychopath though there are many theories. Who knows, maybe she had a head injury at some point, that seems to be a common trigger for people that kill for selfish reasons. The thing is, that mother knew her son was innocent, sometimes you can sense things. Her daughter Kristi already admitted to the murder and she knew her daughter too. Some parents see no fault in their kids, others know their kids very well.
When his mother asked what is your child life worth. Out loud I surely said everything over and over again.
My heart goes out to the man’s family 🙏❤️. What an awesome mother and young man!! It’s great that he stayed a strong and fought for his freedom with the great attorney and is doing something so wonderful with his life to help protect others🙏❤️
Don’t you ever let your minor be separated from you to be questioned ever ever ever ever!
Might not have a choice.
It starts with school(satanic indoctrination camp) and nonsensical abuse of parents abusing their kids by waking them up unnaturally and by ordering them to go to said place and by taking them there without informed consent. And im sorry but 6-7yolds giving informed consent? We all know this system is build on child abuse and this satanic indoctrination camp is not even first of it because first are toddler jabs (again without informed consent)
@boldfacedtruth true but still illegal for a minor to be questioned without a Guardian
@@fiddlerofdeath9075 is that true in all states?
@@boldfacedtruthjust google it
Rest in Peace, Joey. You deserved so much better.
Stand proud, Tyler. You're a strong young man, with a beautifully loving mother.
Please, men everywhere -- be careful abt whom you have sex with! That psychopath did NOT deserve to get laid. Please stop thinking so much abt physical beauty, and start caring abt a woman's character!
It was an aweful beginning but it is so wonderful that the life that he, his mother and attorney fought for ended up becoming so wonderful.
I’m so proud of Tyler for being able to recover and go on to positively impact the world. He’s an EMT and an activist. He was so altruistic even in youth, he was willing to be punished in his sister’s stead. What a great guy. I’m so happy to hear that he’s free!!
I can't imagine how traumatic this must have been. Not only as a child fearing for their life, but the betrayal must be so painful.
"If he'll lie to protect his sister, he'll lie to protect himself"... Like that's not a ridiculous fallacy. It's no different than saying... "if he's innocent, he's guilty".
Lying to protect a murderer isn't entirely innocent. It's more like saying "if someone is selfless, that means he's selfish."
@@L1Run Lying to protect someone else who committed a murder would mean that he did not commit the murder. It's common sense. How could he lie to protect the other person from being guilty, but then be guilty of that same crime all alone? It's an fundamental impossibility (a simple logical paradox).
@@deucedeuce1572 I didn't say he was directly guilty of murder, I said he isn't innocent. He lied to protect the murderer from the law. That's a crime.
@@L1Run Yeah but it don't make him guilty of murder. That was the whole point. Being guilty of lying is not being guilty of murder. You're pretty much arguing something that really has o bearing on what I said (and yeah, we all know he lied). I think you might have missed the point. He's not on trial for lying. He's on trial for murder and the DA is trying to say he is guilty of murder. (yet lacks the common sense to see his own logical paradoxes and "double-think").
@@deucedeuce1572 I thought I made myself clear both times. I don't know how to explain it any better.
If I were a homicide detective, I think one of my biggest fears would be to catch the wrong guy. Justice is not served. A tragic situation is made so much worse. Of all the people that have been exonerated by DNA, 30 % have falsely confessed. This is a perfect example of how NOT to conduct an investigation. I hope Tyler was successful with his lawsuit.
So proud of Tyler, his mother, and his attorney for being so strong
This was so awful to listen to. From the way the investigator said “are you calling me a liar?” To the fact that his mama had to literally go into debt forever just to prove her son’s innocence. That should never have to happen.
I can't imagine what this poor kid went through in prison from 13years old-18years old. How sad.
Guess you shouldn't admit to the worst crime on the planet then on a whim
Mein Sohn ist auch 13. Die Vorstellung, dass er jetzt unschuldig ins Gefängnis müsste und ich würde ihn so weinen sehen, bricht mir das Herz 😢
Ein furchtbarer Fall
@@philmcclenaghan7056This is just stupid. They manipulated a child into false confessing.
I'm sooo proud of his mother. Such a kind and strong woman, her determination fascinates me. And the boy. I feel so much pain for him. He loved his sister. He wanted to protect her and he was just a child. I understand that we don't live in a perfect world. But not believing a child because he's little is just wrong. This story is inspirational. I also feel very bad for people and children who don't have such great support as a believing mother. Who just give up in the face of those difficulties. I pray for your spirit, for your soul. Please, don't give up on yourself. Please, believe in yourself. But not all people have this kind of support, and it terrifies me, the amount of injustice in this world...
This video is only 17min. By the end I had my face in my hands weeping. You created a very concise economical documentary that informed me of the urgent need for juvenile rights in criminal cases. Mission accomplished.
🙏🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I despise prosecutors who won't admit that mistakes had been made or that earlier prosecutors had been corrupt and then fight to keep an innocent person in prison. Justice is not a competition, with one side trying to defeat the other. The justice system is a search for truth.
I completely agree. It's disheartening when prosecutors refuse to acknowledge mistakes or corruption, leading to innocent people suffering. Justice should prioritize truth-seeking over competition. Every effort should be made to correct errors and ensure fairness for all.
The justice system is SUPPOSED TO BE a search for the truth. It often isn't.
Why are some DAs so committed to railroading innocent people?
For money, that’s what they do: ruining the innocent children’s lives and freedom over NOTHING! They just don’t care and are greedy!
They just want a perfect batting record for election. Their success is measured (on paper) by number of convictions, not accuracy. That's why they don't care once they have a confession if they have the right person or not... even if they come to find who the actual person was, they will stay with prosecuting the case they have, KNOWING it's wrong, if they think they can win.. and with a confession, they have a pretty good shot...
To get a high conviction rate, it's good for their career.
Some? Lol
@@crosales8184 , no humanity...
The fact she went into debt because an evil woman can’t be accountable is sick. Also that judge smiling as he had the verdict. Our justice system is beyond repair.
Wow. A story with an extremely awesome end. He went on to achieve great things like his lawyer said 🙏🙏🙏
Adults who have mental disabilities should not even be allowed to be interviewed without a lawyer present. Children are not the only ones that get manipulated.
Any person can be manipulated. That’s why you shouldn’t talk without an attorney.
That’s what happened to the kid from Making a Murderer. I forgot his name, but I think it was Brandon Dassey. It was clear that the police and the actual killer Steven Avery manipulated him into saying he was there and participated in the murder. He’s still in prison and has no more appeals left. That kid got so screwed by everyone, but of course the legal system never wants to admit a mistake and would rather let an innocent person rot in jail instead.
They also routinely coerce confessions out of people who are drunk and/or high, taking advantage of their weakened mental state. If they want to interview someone they should wait until they're sober because everybody has the same rights, even drunkards.
Exactly!
When I was 19 and sex trafficked I called 999 and the police turned up gave the rapist a verbal warning not to rape again and laughed me off as a prostitute. They found it hilarious that there were multiple used condoms in the bin and took no evidence offered me no help and didn't even talk to me at all. A cop turned up 2 weeks later and stalked me without giving an explanation. He just kept saying prostitute louder and louder as I asked him to be quiet. After they left I called 999 crying, askin them if I did something bad and if I was going to be in trouble. I was hysterical thinking I'd be arrested for... Calling the police after bein raped. I feel really sad for the younger me. I wasn't mentally competent and the coersion an treatment of me literally made me think I was bad and in trouble. We need to protect innocent mentally incompetent people including kids from police abuse and disregard
My mom passed away in 2010. Hearing the mother say how she traded everything she had to fund her sons defense made me want to cry. Reminds me of my own mother whom I still miss so much to this day. What an incredible blessing it must be to have had such a mother in his corner during this horrific experience.
Me too dear. My mom passed away last year and she did absolutely everything for me❤❤❤❤❤. I will try to do everything in order to make her proud of her baby girl. May our beautiful moms rest in eternal peace until we meet again insha Allah
That is a great Mom! Happy Mother's Day, Mom, today, 5-10-24.
Super proud of this mom and son. He continues to fight but now for others
As a sister to a wonderful little brother myself, I'm disgusted by the cruelty and callousness this monster showed towards hers. I would lay down my life without hesitation if it meant my little brother would always he safe and protected from harm. He will be turning 14 years old this year, and every day I'm proud of who he's grown to be, just as I'm sure Tyler's mother is proud of her selfless and loving son.

I wish all older siblings could be just like you. ♥️❤️
I'm the oldest of 4 and I'm the same way with all of my siblings too.
As a police officer I'm not sure what she did wrong. Cops do this all the time.
Him not her
"If he'd lie to protect his sister then he'd lie to protect himself". What a terrible argument because if he lied to protect his sister it means he is innocent. They can't have it both ways lmao. Calling him a liar because he lied for his sister means he's now telling the truth.
a better argument is "if the prosecutor lied before, hes lying now" see how he likes that argument.
The demented cops seriously allowed a child to know that if he took the blame his sister wouldn't be killed, and expected him to do anything but lie?
It's like they wanted to destroy the siblings, the woman for murdering a man, and the boy for daring to love his sister.
Way to go, Tyler! So sorry you had to go through so much. But awesome that you used it all for the positive.
whata horrible prosecutor...he knew...wouldnt allow things that would prove the boys innocence....he should have been fired right after that.....hope he never gets a good job ever again......he should be in jail for providing false witness
Tyler’s 100% right. I was interviewed as a minor with my abusive parent present who just wanted to see me punished for something I never even did. 100% pressured to confession. Nothing as serious as this case. Judge took a look at it all and without me even speaking a word through the case out. Cop didn’t even show up.
What a crappy sister and daughter. And they didn’t hear the sister propositioning him and begging to take the blame? And did he really spend 5 yrs in jail? (They said 5 yr preparation.)
yes sadly
And because he made a confession, they can't sue the state for wrongful conviction.
They said “... wasted away in Walnut Grove correction facility for five years.
And men get graped in prison. I guarantee, that poor kid was graped daily, for years, by grown men. And he didn't even commit any crime, certainly not on purpose (obstruction of justice?). But he was manipulated the whole way. Poor kid. I wouldn't be surprised if he is living an alternative lifestyle due exclusively to the way he was treated in prison. I hope to God he is living a normal life.
It said walnut grove was a juvenile correction facility, but america often tries kids as adults.
“Everybody is a suspect until you start bleeding them out” is the same vein as “Innocence proves nothing” from the inquisition. That sheriff lost the plot long ago.
Sorry you had to deal with that Tyler, glad you are out and I hope your life is great with all this behind you
I like how they gave the impression that Tyler’s attorney never gave up and continued to work on the case, even after the conviction, from the goodness of his heart, as opposed to the fact Tyler’s mother had to cash out every single penny she could get from her assets to pay him. And then the ending disclosed that Tyler has done everything he can over the last DECADE to raise funds in order to get his defense attorney paid off so his mother can get out of that extraordinary debt and back up on her feet again.
What? Do you think Lawyers are free? Do you think people shouldn't get paid for providing their work and service? Do you know why it cost her a lot of money that put her into debt? Because she paid for a good lawyer, who not only got the guilty verdict vacated and a new trial but was also able to get a not guilty verdict at that new trial. That is an extremely rare outcome, almost never happens. Maybe she could have gone with a less experienced bargain bin lawyer, but she loved her son and paid whatever she had to for him.
@@brianc8916 There are many lawyers that work free of charge, especially if they feel it is the right thing to do and the person in need doesn't have the money to afford their services.
His point was that it was implied that the lawyer went above and beyond to help this family..
But in actuality, he only did what he was paid to do.. and that is fine, but he isn't some amazing person that helped this family in their time of need.
Hell the lady still owes the lawyer money a decade after the fact.
So he is just another lawyer that was paid to do what he was supposed to do, that is it.
He did the minimum standard for what a lawyer you pay for should do, nothing special about him.
And personally I'd say he is a prick, sure he did his job, but he is still a prick.
The moment I heard she had to sell everything, put her house on the line, etc.. That should have been the point which he said, maybe I shouldn't let her lose her house and her car..
But no, after all that, knowing she basically lost everything, he's like don't worry, I know you clearly can't afford it, but I will just continue to bill you and you will just owe me money for the rest of your life..
Hell just typing that out pisses me off more, he is a greedy prick.
@@brianc8916 Never did I insinuate the attorney shouldn’t be paid. I was simply calling attention to the fact that the commentary and interviews suggested more than once that his lawyer remained tried-and-true, fighting the unjust sentencing of an innocent kid per his personal moral standards. Then we see that the mother and her son are heavily in debt for the ultra expensive representation even a decade later.
The fact that she had a debt was because the lawyer stayed on the case regardless of her not having the money. Lawyers don't usually do this at all, they demand money upfront and when that runs out, they demand more to stay on the case. This lawyer risked never getting paid, knowing she might never have the money, to stay on the case. It's obvious you don't understand how lawyers work else you would have noticed this obvious gift from the lawyer to fight the case with the promise that she could pay him back one day.
I did research his lawyer did work pro bono and he was asking for compensation for being wrongly convicted. He won at the supreme court level in Mississippi and was awarded 135,000 in 2017. There were some debit from the trial though from some of the expert witnesses though the defense hired but the lawyer did work for free.
How could you throw your brother under the bus like that? Some people need serious help.
Fear of death penalty. Her logic was sound, minor does 3 -5 years vs . Death penalty risk for her, min of life in prison. But after she saw his sentence, she should have came clean. At least. At the very least. She shouldn't have done it all , but I'm trying to see her thought process. After her got 50 years , she should have done something
That instant smile on his attorney's face after the final verdict! ❤️🙂
The closing argument of his attorney was AMAZING & so very true! I'm so glad he was able to get the verdict of he deserved. I really respect his attorney for that and also trying to help him understand he's young and has has his whole life ahead of him. I believe this whole thing has made Tyler a stronger person in the end. It didn't destroy him and close his heart and instead made him a better person that will stand up for anybody and try to help them if they find themselves in a bad situation they don't deserve to be in. EMPATHY... the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes to be able to see, feel & understand exactly what they are going thru. It's a gift... as long as we learn to differentiate between good and bad. That's kinda tricky until we understand not everyone is like this. It's usually those that have gone thru terrible things and felt so alone in the world that are like this. I wish nothing but the best for this young man & even though I do not know him, I'm very proud of him❤
Now that’s a good mama good job maam, the world needs more parents like you
Please someone pay for this mama’s loans 😢
Yes, because he only got $130,000 in restitution.
@@kandik7641 smh
As an older sister I am extremely disgusted by what Kristi did. I know how much my brother loves me and I love him too so much. I could never do such a thing to my brother. Stealing his life and happiness like this😭 My heart goes out to Tyler and his mom. God bless the attorney and his awesome mother
Huge respect for Tyler.
I've gone through a lot of medical hardships in my life, but I don't know if I could have gone through what he did.
The sister is deplorable. How could you throw your brother under the bus like that, knowing that you could save his life? I hope Tyler is living his best life now, and I hope his mother is too. I hope they both find peace with everything they have been through.
Dude she is female. That's why she did it. Girls think thanks to feminism that they they biggest gift from God since sliced bread.
She’s a total sociopath; they have no empathy or remorse. I bet she still has no feelings about it to this day.
He's waltzing around free, but he will answer at judgement day for murdering a man then playing the system and going free. Evil.
@@teresajeffries3934 I believe he is innocent
@@teresajeffries3934 TF are you talking about? He’s innocent. Did you even watch the show?
So sad not only did his sister make him the scapegoat but she abused his heart 😢
That’s a one way ticket to getting disowned.
Im so happy to hear what I m feeling I love my brother more than I love myself
Unfortunately he passed away.
💔💔💔🥺🥺🥺😭💔😭💔😭💔
Poor Tyler poor boy I feel him .
I pray to him and for his mum .
May God protect bless them . 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💝💝💝
Among everything else, I am so touched by Tylers mom and how she never gave up. It takes a very strong person to continue on like she did.
Maybe I feel so strongly because I know, without question, that my mom would have done the same for me.
Who knows what his life would have turned out like if he hadn't had someone unfailingly in his corner. It's hard to find the words to describe how fortunate anyone is to have that.
I'm glad this turned out in his favor in the end, but maannn... what a story!
As a juror I would absolutely not except the confession of a child under 17 years old. If the confession was made without the parents in the room. Because the parents are their protection from being bullied into a false confession!
Accept
Here in the UK it’s the law that when a child is being interrogated/interviewed, they need to have a parent, guardian or social worker present as well as legal representation e.g lawyer
That's the epitome of a Mother's love for her child
Very strong woman
Powerful words "what is your childs life worth" priceless i would say ❤
What about the mother caring for Kristy ...and her children too ? ONLY GOD JESUS CHRIST IS RIGHTEOUS
He went on to become something so special. His mother is outstanding. ❤
My goodness I followed ur Instagram you're absolutely stunning woaaahhh
His mother knew her daughter was crazy.
This really showed that you can have two people, raised in the same household, with the same advantages and disadvantages, and they can still become two entirely different people! Once you are in the court system it is impossible to get free of the picture they have of you. Parents may never really know the depth of the bond between two children in the same household. It's so sad this young man went through this experience out of love and loyalty. This would surely change a person, especially at such a young age.
So true, I hate when they blame parents for not raising them right. Sometimes it is not the parents fault. We are our own person.
I wonder if their parents realized early on how evil kristi really was? If tgey had any indications they could have prevented this experience for him. The mother really never addressed her relationship with her daughter.
Because EVERYTHING is epigenetic.
The parents knew their daughter was a monster. They ignored it.
Tyler congratulations and blessings to you and your family, and the family of the dead person. It is good to see that you did not allowed the bad experience to changed you. Great lawyer also.
I feel horrible this happened to you 😢
I am so glad you are doing good ❤
Gos bless you and your mom
What a wonderful and strong mom. Gave up her whole life to save her child.
Such a malicious district attorney.
Yeah, seriously. Guy should be out of a job. Imagine trying to put a child behind bars for life if you even had a shred of doubt about the case
Yhoooo so much evil 😢😢😢😢😢
this made me cry. I'm so happy that he is free but so upset that he had to go through that as a little boy!
i think we can all agree how good it is to see people winning and true justice served. may we all be at peace and exist happily together
I wish I had a mother like her. She is an inspiration. Good on this man for holding out hope that humanity would finally realise he is innocent. Its stories like these that bring real change, positive change.
Tyler is so lucky to have a mother like her, I lost my mother over a year ago and have a hole in my heart since, I miss so many things about her and it makes me happy to see he’s taking care of his mom after her spending her life saving to help him. What a great son and cute too😊
My love goes to you, dear.💞
What a beautiful mother, may god fill her life with blessings❤❤❤
Bravo kid, you didn't let what changed your life change you. Keep up the good work. Proud of you 👏
