I was in Atl, living in Union City commuting to Smyrna to and from work. The day they caught him, and escorted him back to downtown, I-285 and I-85 was backed up for miles. Here is the rub, he was on trial accused of rape and false imprisonment of an ex- girlfriend. Come to find out, she lied under oath, her story changed several times under oath and the prosecutors evidence and case was weak and circumstantial. Instead of letting him free via an acquittal or hung jury, the Judge decided to RE-TRY him after a hung jury. The Judge got what he deserved.
I live in Birmingham as well at Southside Clairmont Apartment front of the Highland Golf Course, and next to the Gas Station called Texaco. I was at Huffman High School a 9th Grade Freshmen in Birmingham, Alabama just two months before the Disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
I had just quit smoking when I heard about this on the news. I was listening to listening to MPR news, and I was hoping that they would find this killer. I was so scared
Exactly. The initial case was a hung jury. He should have been free man. The witness (aka the accuser) lied under oath several times and the judge knew it. Those lies makes her testimony not credible therefore no case. Yet, they decided to RETRY him. The judge got what he deserved.
"Diary of a mad black woman" was released a month before this. There was a courtroom shooting scene in it. In the same city. Sure it was a coincidence, but it's crazy to think about. "Life imitates art" moment.
He said weed weed K2 is the only way that would do something like that to a person it makes them lose their mind become a monster they need to take that off the market but no they got it to destroy inmates especially in prison not even talking about what’s going on the street with that K2
Can someone please give me some info on this? Did they only have one deputy guarding him? A man that big, why would they have one female guarding him? This could have all been avoided, had they used more then one guard. Especially a female guarding a male. I'm a female and think that's ignorant....
The Fulton County Sheriff (who run the Atl jails and courthouse) are notoriously incompetent and inept. The city got sued by several different parties after this event. Fed and state investigators found all kind of laxed policy procedures in their investigations. A lot of heads rolled.
It's just all around sad the system is just messed up the man had no right kill be he felt there was no other way to prove his innocence even when he was 100% innocent and nobody believed him
I believe he's innocent of the rape too. Idk what ever happened if he was sentenced guilty or innocent on the rape charge? I did read Ashley's book and when he wanted to take a shower, he was very respectful to her, not wanting her to see him naked. Definitely don't sound like a rapist to me. I had no idea they made a movie. Anyone know the name?
The fact that he was never truly guilty for the original rape charge and was sentenced unjustly due to a lie . He then snapped
He killed everyone in court to avoid prison and goes to prison anyway😂😂😂😂
That is so crazy. I can't believe how fast those years have gone by.
I remember this. This was crazy
19 years ago. I was living in Duluth at the time and couldn't believe my eyes. This story was wild.

No wonder he snapped. They were racially profiling this guy! I'd have done much of the same right down to ending life on earth for eternity!
Absolutely
Agreed
That’s correct!!! He never raped his ex girlfriend!!! She lied on him!!!
Bro please shut up no you wasn't I hate mfs that say they was somewhere when it happened please shut the Fuck up
I was living in Cobb County at the time and just had a babygirl...now my daughter is 17...I can't believe how time flies.

I didn't realize it's been that long ago don't seems like it.
This is why deputies handing a suspect should never be armed. This is why prison guards don't carry guns.
Good point, especially if the officer is a lady in her 50s!
Remember this happened in a courthouse that does not allow Police officers to carry their weapons…. It probably could’ve been stopped sooner.
They had guns
@@ItsBrittany. They responded with guns , no officers on scene at courthouse had any firearms
@@geoffsavage4091 how did he get a gun if only responding officers had them
He was special opps@@shadowx2229
This was my Uncle Ralph's 44th birthday, just three days before my cousin Bassy's 20th Birthday (1985-2005) when I was watching UTOC on J!.
This is why I dont like being in places like court houses where I cant carry my own gun. Even there were not safe.
I was in elementary school i remember being up tight for a whole day thinking he coming to my house smh
I remember when this happened when I was younger. Smh.
And then he kidnapped the lady named Ashley smith he asked her for marijuana but she didn't have it, he gave him some meth
I remember this 🙆🏾♀️ this was crazy
What baffles me is that it was just him and the deputy first, no one around to see him get the gun.
Yeah a lone woman, nonsense. Atlanta is inadequate.
I was living in Augusta at the time, and I was scared thinking this guy could end up coming to Augusta
Man ain’t nobody goin to dat country shit

Ashley Smith told him
To turn his self in. He told her to stop doing drugs and be a mother to her child since her husband had already od months prior.
It was double jeopardy.

I feel sorry for the innocent people but I don't feel sorry for the judge
Hmmm... I wonder what was the 👉🏾ROOT CAUSE of WHY👈🏾 he snapped?☝🏾👀🤔🤨🤔🤨 Nobody's talking about that!! Only about what he did! Just think back!!
There is NO excuse for MURDER. Don't be a murder apologist.
@@M4ProductionI've never killed no one but if I get falsely accuse and sent to prison for it I can't say what I'll do.
