This man is unbelievably strong. Lost 2 children and still holding it together. Wow. 🙏
He lost one to Melly and his daughter just hasn't talked to him that's why she said so you lost 2
@@glocksp80smd he wasn't found guilty of any murder
@@autriajones-hurst9853he’s about to now 😂
I believe in the father's instinct. Also after the murders his behaviour was really off. My condolences to family and friends, may they rest in peace.
Amen
Prayers to the Families 🙏🏽 Praying and Justice 🙏🏽
Not true. My son died and I didn't want to attend his funeral and crying wasn't done in front of anyone
@@autriajones-hurst9853 yes, ppl grieve differently. I’m sorry for your loss ❤
They pushed the funeral back and he still didn’t show up for his BESTFRIEND??? That’s crazy 😢
I feel for this dad. ❤ I hope there’s some justice for his son.
This man is a great father. Im sorry that he and his family has to go through this.
Not showing up to your best friend’s funeral is so messed up smh
That wasn't his bestfriend then smh I don't know what to think
Guilty conscience...
We all grieve differently. So not going to a funeral doesn't prove guilt, although it does make me think of Juice when 2pac went to his friends funeral knowing he killed him. He even hugged his mother which was a cold piece. RIP to them boys tho
@@Jeremyfortner-xd8vx People do grieve differently but it was extremely odd to take all the pictures down of them together.
Going if you killed him Is worst.
I find myself being a loner I have never met so many backstabbing people in my life so-called friends they say your best friend is your worst enemy and that's a true statement
same.
Same here - helped so many people in my life to be stabbed in the back - so stay on my own now trust no one
Same here, I'm not only a loner by choice but single by choice also lol. You cannot trust anyone.
In some cases
💯
No Parent should ever have to bury a child. Especially in that manner. Condolences to the family of the victims. 🙏🏾
Yesssir
They was all banging
What a great father. Very well spoken and words that are impactful.
he raised a criminal, he have a big share on that as well.
horrible father . prob was very soft on him.
Init
@@grapplerguy2007 because he died he was a horrible father ?
He's not well spoken 😆
Sad situation all around, hope he finds peace.
You live by the sword, you die by the sword.
it is sad but to be honest i believe ynw melly is innocent i believe ynw melly friend who is also out maybe did the crime or there was an actual driveby shooting that happend but i truly think ynw melly friend did the shooting and ynw melly know he did it but he just won’t snitch on him. because i know if i was in the same situation I’ll say and do the same thing.
It's very commendable that Juvy's father stayed composed during the wait until trial, with Melly's family in same community and didn't seek street justice. Great example of a father 💯💪🏽
For sure, as a father myself it was hard to not feel for the man losing his son and then his daughter basically taking Melly's side. Brutal.
Great example of he know what's going on
I feel bad for pops, but you gotta understand what these boys doing you don’t know it all. It’s upstanding for the parent to say their child never did anything and etc. unless your a dad in the streets too, he will never know who his son was outside of that house.
Right like where’s the part where they were antagonizing each others girlfriends
@@Dyst0piaa7 💯 he just feels as a parent should because he lost his son, and I innerstand that. It’s just those parents be the main ones like my son was this and that. But you truly don’t know your kids once they aren’t around you.
I feel what you saying but Ion see what they could have done so bad to die
I feel what you saying but Ion see what they could have done so bad to deserve to die
@@vermonbarnes5150 because you don’t live that life. You live your life.
This was a good interview. Sincere and respectful. Now after hearing the father I have no doubt that Melly did it. The call after his sons death, the lack of remorse, the nonchalant attitude speaks volumes. Maybe more volumes then the facts itself. No real person innocent and also grieving a loss would have the ability to smile and giggle in a double murder trial of his best friends, while facing the death penalty for it. No one, except for a true a sociopath could!
Imagin having a dad in your life and you choose to leave and not talk to him after your brother is killed. All the girls wishing they had a father to live with smh.
God bless this man. I could write 4 paragraphs on how highly I regard this guy after that interview. Also the interviewer was great.
This is why I don’t have friends! Friendships come and go!
Condolences to this man and his family, rest in peace to Chris!
Prayers to the family
“So it sounds like you lost 2 children” LADY 😭😭
😂😂😂
FR LOL
😂😂😂🤦🏽♀️
What does that mean?
Sad! Prayers for this family!
why would he risk going to the funeral if yall all think he killed him and was probably going to question him to death?
Ong and he probably did go and watched from a far or went after they left
You have People out here who stand with you Sir ! 🙏🙏🙏For Justice , peace and comfort ! God be with you ! RIP! Chris !
My son was killed, so I know exactly what he is feeling...but the betrayal from Melly to his daugther is horrible! And SaKchaser was the person he had issues with. So why kill Juivy, he seemed like the good one out the group! This broke my heart!
He's getting protection from the rap industry that's why he has the best lawyers. The industry needs him back to keep being a dark influence in our youth.
Facts. I listen to old school r and b when im with my kids. tyat music is real music and expresses a real feeling which is real love. All modern entertainment us putting demon spirits on our you. Im making sure my children are different.
Not the industry directly lmao, the money he made from music is paying for the lawyers. The "industry" is not an overarching entity
That's theirs plans they take advantage on those youngsters who grew without fathers or with single mothers or dysfonctionnal family from poor neigbourhood and enrolling in gangs like they are family.what a shame those youngs dude are supposed to be the future but end up dead at youngs ages.
The violence in America is crazy.
It's very rare in France to get on so much violence but we can't buy guns like you do in América so that's why,I guess!
People need to see this
Yesssss ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💔🙏🏾
never thought of bortlen ? he had gun powder
He’s innocent
This proves nothing
@@rdj3513 keep forcing yourself to believe melly’s innocent
This family deserves justice
The fact that he lost his son and his daughter. Imagine having a daughter who Is sisters with your son and his killer. And she supports the killer because she gets money. Heart breaking.
He hasn't been proving to be a killer though. This is crazy smh.
It sorta hits me hard that juvy was related to bortlen (cortlen Henry) through a sister he shares with bortlen !! I feel like there’s a real motive in this case and nothing points to melly killing then but pointing to a family dispute over money with bortlen and juvy . Some family members kill each other be careful out there you’ll never expect it coming why juvy was comfortable before his death 😢
@@LuhNoShowe need you on Melly’s defense team. That’s a good point
I agree with Juvy’s dad .. that industry wicked …
AMEN!
bro he said sumthin bout him
covering up 1 dere mamas name on his neck but got both of them on his face he juh chattin
@@nlo7even why would he get the names of someone he was going to kill tattooed on him
@@Lucas99g36maybe he got the tattoos and then later decided to kill??
its not the "industry"...people use the "industry" as a front. music is just their DAY job.
This is heartbreaking. I feel awful for this father.
I'm not people are to snake now day dem old heads are so delusional 😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂
@@duncanpenderhughes8865 Wtf how is that funny?
Prayers to all and especially this Father. May justice prevail.
🙏🏾
For the people who want Melly free, why? Dude is a legitimate psychopath , he’s insane to kill two people he grew up with
There is no actual real proof he did it. It’s all circumstantial!
@@kenneceshakiavon7419 Even in that, look at the dudes mannerisms in court , in such a dire situation like that who would be laughing and making all the unusual gestures he’s been making .
@@kenneceshakiavon7419 but that circumstantial evidence is overwhelming
Would you kill someone with 5 million in the bank smh plus imagine someone trying to put there hands in ur pocket
@@kenneceshakiavon7419 he wrote a song literally telling you he fantasies about doing it… then he did it.. are you that smooth brained
Very sorry for your loss Sir , RIP to both of them !
Money is the root of all evil .
It's only as evil as the person, if you have good morals and a good soul then the money won't get you.
Facts you're very right
The love of money is the root of all evil. Which is consistent with the person that said “it’s only as evil as the person”. One of the most misquoted texts from the Bible of all time. Indeed it is the love of money and many men have made sacrifices to idol of money. We all worship something.
This man is speaking the truth. They were founding members of YNW and if you love them like you say, they deserve a cut. Melly was hot, this is America. There is enough money for everyone. You DONT SNAKE YOUR DAY 1'S. PERIOD. These kids know NOTHING about LOYALTY. 💯
So sorry for your loss may God comfort and give a peace that surpasses all understanding to you, his mother, and your family as well as bring justice in revealing the truth. In Jesus Name. As well as to the family of the other young man.
I have a brother who do not go to any funerals after seeing my grandma in a casket back in 1996. Our 34 year old brother died in 2020, and my brother didn't go, 4 cousins, 2 aunts, my brother didn't go or show up at all to any of them. Funerals are to heartbreaking for many. So I understand that part. Im not going to judge based off of my feelings because I don't know if Melly is guilty or innocent. But God do, and may He reveal the truth. I do pray that if he is innocent, or guilty that God pours His love on him, and brings Him closer to God that he may obtain salvation. In Jesus Name.
I pray also that God strengthens and takes care of his mother and give her a peace within her heart through all of this. None of this is easy as a parent on both sides.
all melly talks abt how god saved him and always saying keep god in ur life
If I was the dad and they found Melly not guilty, I would be waiting for Melly as soon as they let him out the jailhouse and crashin tf out for mines…but that’s just me tho 🤷🏽
Facts
As you should because on my momma I’d do the same!!
What does crashing solve ? Just another lost life to prison what good are you to anybody in a cell for life 🤔
@@allpraisewebb1142frl
Then your kids grow up with no siblings and no dad! Genius move my bradda!
Can't wait to hear Melly's next single, "I got away with Murder." Lol.
this rii here 😂😂
He won’t get away, why do you think he been rotting for 5 years with no bond
Not how Florida works
Ft OJ Simpson
He deserves everything he gets. As a mother I stand with this father! Rip little Chris 🙏
He might get not guilty
So some random shooters hate you enough to fire into the suv.
1. Melly is the target and don’t get hit at all 😮
2. Melly don’t go to either funeral 😢
3. No shell casings outside the vehicle 😂
Melly Guilty af.
The fact that his own daughter wants her own brother's killer free is extremely disturbing. Yet people think that YNW Melly did not do it. Lets be real, they only care about his music. Period.
What???
So I’m trying to figure out why he didn’t attend his best friend’s funeral? . And also the other dude in question CHANGED his clothes before going to the hospital. Why you need to change your clothes? ALSO he did not get a single wound, scratch , nothing on his body , plus Melly was no where to be found at the time of the murder because someone picked him up?? This case is so bizarre
it is, either one or both of them with holding informal them boys not telling something or afraid to tell
@@finessinhearts provavelmente, com medo de contar a verdade.
Melly was there his cell phone pin pointed him there.
My heart goes out to this bereaved dad. His son looks so much like him. 🙏♥️🙏
A “theory” doesnt work in court.
exactly , everyone so quick to blame and come up with their own theories. just sit back and watch the trial.
melly not even showing up to the funeral is bad
Insane. Poor father man. Hope the best to him in his coming future.
My deepest condolences to both deceased families, Bortlen & Melly are responsible for the demise of Sakchaser & Juvy
You have no proof Dumas
"Allegedly"
Bro I’m tired of y’all saying he killed them I literally think he’s innocent u can’t expect someone to cry all the time
@@487racksIf there was “too much evidence against him” why isn’t he sentenced?
@@forreallium_music17lol, really? Because in a polite society it must first be heard to determine the sentence.
The way this father describes everything points to Guilty
Christopher Thomas Sr, how heart breaking and sad.
Blessings from UK 🙏
Money will motivate the closest people near you to betray you.
So what big artist kills a no name artist that he's trying to put on
Him having tattoos of the two victims just never sat right with me, seeing that interview where he was asked about it always gives me chills.
It’s very weird tbh
Media has exposed how rampant sociopathy truly is in our society.
he got the tattoos while they was alive , theres even a interview with them all there and was asked about it
@@meetdamaka yep he got them a couple months before they were dead it almost like he already had the plan in motion he was doing it right in front of our faces we thought nothing of it at first
@@alien-hs1znI was thinking the same thing
He gone beat the case
this really changed my whole view of everything, hope pops gets his justice
You believe everything you hear? The other person can't tell you why it was done because that's admittance. What would you say if he gets put to death, then you find out they really did try to extort him, picked on him, tried to mess with his girl and threatened his mom?
I FEEL THE DAD PAIN HE LOST A GREAT SON
no he lost a gang member son. don’t try to make him seem all innocent, he was an active blood either way of melly killed him or not
he raised a criminal, he have a big share on that as well.
@@cmaekkk 👎
Yes great son
@@fred89pjyall judging the man like as if he made him that way. Once a young adult gets that mindset of why they want to be and its the wrong path you can’t convince them of nothing else their mind is put mind to it. Cant always blame the parents
Stay strong 💪🏽 Bro God has your back
The Father is a very strong Brother stay strong Bro.
I feel sorry for every person in this case tbh.. I was a fan and saw the love they had for each other.. Nothing here makes sense
Greed and jealousy so he killed them plain and simple
Lord I pray the truth comes out. I wonder what really happened
AMEN 🙏❤️
The man just told u what happened 🤷🏾♂️
@@danielsmith7386 judge not
Out of all the theories I've heard this has got to be the most likely of all the theories
Years ago I heard his two friends he allegedly killed was gonna snake him out like they did to x but he got them first what why was sitting in the back seat but the story keeps changing
I get he's mad af put he shouldn't act like his son was a bigger artist then melly
"An eye for an eye"!!! sucks to say but on this situation seems about right.
SINCEREST CONDOLENCES to the family and loved ones
I hope he see’s and knows how many people are on his side in this and are not calling for Melly to be freed. Money is truly the root of evil and I believe this case will shed light on that. “All that is done in the dark will soon come to the light.”
@@Young_Dab that’s literally what the trial is for.
Free that boy melly
And I hope u know a lot of people want ynw melly free
@@geeked_ed I don’t care lmao no disrespect but we’re all allowed to have our own opinions so good for those folks - they don’t know how ballistics works.
@@cassi94 and you do ?
His father is so well spoken. Truth comes out in order .
Wow. His own daughter, her brother.
Family is messed up like that though.
My deepest condolences.
I never believe the narrative before a court case. Remember folks you're innocent until proven guilty
Even Bishop went to Raheem’s funeral smh
Exactly nd bishop shot him cold blood dead nd took his money
Eye for Eye leaves the whole world blind
Dad seems like a good guy.
That’s so disrespectful for the lawyer to be laughing for any reason when her client killed 2 ppl! She’s supposed to be the example on how to behave in court. She should have been thrown out of court and held in contempt n they should have given him solitary confinement for a couple days. How do I do that. I get that everyone deserves a defense, but taking on a case and providing a defense is dramatically different then laughing w ur client while he’s accused of killing 2 ppl while the judge plays his song about murder! That’s not providing a defense that’s making a mockery of the court and of our justice system while spitting in the face of the parents and family members of the 2 victims and that is not ok at all!
Calm down 😂
I totally agree with this, Dad 💯
I want to be clear I lost a lot of people my life I lost my mom to bullet to her head. I lost my brother to overdose. I lost my dad to be shot to death and the more people pass away around me my emotions to conjure up feeling sad or angry. I just can’t do that no more some people are just built different because the only way to be strong is sometimes not feeling at all
I agree. I feel for the grieving father. But at the end of the day, he was not there. Nothing he said proves Melly is guilty.
Also sorry about your losses brother. Keep going you got this!
Sorrry about your loss
@@richardbat2847 thank you !!
@@IamKirkoBangz Thank you, I appreciate that !!!!!!
Peace to you good father. Your son is with you and knows your love
Amen. "Old testimony" 😢
He not showing any remorse in court either 😡
His not showing sadness is a lack of empathy, but showing remorse would be an implicit admission of guilt.
Because he’s innocent
@@Young_Dabgo see pictures of those loved ones dead filled with bullet holes and see if your emotions kick in
So sad. May this trial turn out with a conviction
Where is the real evidence?
@@Xydorfthe circumstacial evidence is overwhelming. It points to Melly , and Bortlen . Why did he wait a hour before he took them to the hospital ? Why did he cuange his clothes? Why did Mellys phone ping at the scene of the crime at the same time of the murders ?
This is a strong man and a wonderful father, And I will keep you in my prayers! We all know melly did it and it's b.s to find out it's over money, All these young men would have got a nice little pay day, but the greed got to them. The young man or phony and in the videos that act like they have money when reality they are broke And are so desperate that they would kill their so-called best friends! They're not going to the funeral is bogus, and it definitely shows that they are guilty of this crime!
Everybody deals with death differently.
It’s like every year there’s a new case of people who you thought were your friends, doing you in. Juvy seem like the type who was raised right and did bad on his own. Got involved with the wrong crowd and played follow the leader.
@@Chillerveli omg why they not talking about this part in trial?
@@Young_Dabif you wanted it to look like a drive by wouldn't you eventually get out and shoot into the car? I mean they dead so they not moving. Not saying he did but just because they have entries from outside doesn't prove he didn't do it. That's how I would counter that in court.
It's a drive by fr they were spinning the opps and they claat it ofter him rem they in gang I was right there trust me😢
for sure
@@Young_Dab you too invested in another mans life …you probably sat on yt all day trynna piece together your own opinion
Thanks Dave
This hurt my soul to watch I pray he gets justice ❤
😂😂😂
Wheres the paperwork??? Wheres the paper trail? Why hasnt any prosecuters found any emails validating or witnesses ???
To know they didn't go to either one of the funerals says A LOT!!! He had their names tatted on him and they were supposedly his brothers but he doesn't go to their funerals??? Tf?!
Cuz he guilty
They know he’s guilty
He was probably scared to death of showing up
so he gunna kill his best friends for 200k to spend millions in legal fees make it make sense smh
I’m so sorry for his loss
have you ever listen to your son lyrics? one of his songs is like this : you momma gonna cry tissue after tissue. It is all fun and games when he preaches it but when it happens to him what he was preaching he was a angel that deserved better? this parents are delusional. you failed raising your kid
I’m with you Sir .. and so sorry for your loss Sir .. and your family ! Day one . I have never heard of him so I watched old interviews he made , him in Tik tok .. his actions the way he acts talks .. he seems to be really mentally unstable .. His talking of At night the other person comes out ! The murderer comes out ! The bad in him. Look at him even in court . He is definitely not a stable person ! No excuse at all! Just really bad side ! Again I’m so sorry ! This boy is dangerous ! 100%
Must have Daniel Cruz attorney's the way there laughing
Its such a shame. They were so young.

Doesn't matter. What does that have to do with being killed by one of your friends.
@@jamesball8519there’s no honor among thieves. It doesn’t justify what happened AT ALL but that’s what comes with that lifestyle.
So? Sometimes parents can't keep his children of the streets and the kids do whatever they want. They just choosing that life, its very difficult as a parent to keep your childeren on the straight path.
Melly mom went live before this all went down saying that juvy threatened her with a gun and that he wasn’t about that life and never shot anybody or did anything to anybody. & obviously juvy had a father figure in his life, sounds believable that he was a good person but clearly around the wrong crowd. & apparently Sakchaser sent nudes to Melly girl prior to the murders too. Not to mention, the whole selling of the brand and the money involved. What don’t you see?
sorry for your loss
That man don’t add up so you tell me cause he lost a fight he killed him 💀😂 yall funny man
yea because nobody has ever killed someone who beat them up. never

Big respect from England 🏴 too this Farther , I hope you see justice for your sons .
