She got 30 years but somehow some way she's eligible for parole in 3 years that's crazy they better deny her parole every time for them 30 years
Maybe a manslaughter
The ex wife is a pig and cut a deal. She left this asshole high dry. RIP Lorenzen Wright
They denied her look up her parole hearing she tried to lie & say she had nothing to do with it
Sherri wright parole hearing she even con the kids into saying he was abusive all lies
What people do for money!!? Sherrie should have gotten LIFE!!
Exactly but she knew what she was facing and that's why she took the plea left him out fight alone and he lost
Sherry was the mastermind
Kill for a dollar rather than work for ten!
@@Gfysimpletonsain't that the truth!
exactly
I'm glad that lady lived to see her son get justice
Thank God🙏this is so heartbreaking 😢😢
R.I.P. Lorenzen Wright you will never be forgotten❤💐
Um, maybe it's just me, but your trial would have been the perfect time to "tell your side" about what happened? Just me?
If it was for me he would have been put in a box without a trial. F@ck his side of the story.
Exactly
Yes and no. Lawyers tell you not to talk etc. Technically you can override them. But, most people just assume the lawyers know best.
If you every feel worthless think about idiots like this who not only destroyed someone else life but also destroyed their own life.
Thank you for your comment. I've made mistakes that cause me to question my worth, but I've never done anything remotely close to this. I appreciated this more than I can express.
@@prodigaldaughter2242❤
Nothing he has to say matters and won't bring him back. You took this man's life.
Lol this brother just needs money on his books After 13 years I'm pretty sure his mother and family stop putting money on his books So I'm sure channel 3 decided to toss him a 1000 or so.
@@ekbanks You're probably right
Exactly, a waste of time!!
thats a dumb statement.
@@ekbanks you dont know his family and I doubt the news is putting money on his books
He declined the plea and did not take the stand. Hmmm...
There’s plenty innocent ppl do not take the stand.
That’s your Constitutional right my guy. 99% of cases that don’t plead out will goto trial and the defendant won’t testify.
They talk to this liar. He has nothing better to do with his time in jail?
And he has had time to recreate "what happened" they should have never put this out
Every person should be able to at least tell there side right or wrong
@@ronb3913 they do get to tell their side ..ITS CALLED A TRIAL..get this guy outta here
I remember this case. This was a very sad story, Lorenzen seemed like a really solid guy.
Lorenzen was too nice. He was so nice that he was ill equipped to handle the baggage that comes with fame and wealth.
Lorenzen was such a nice human being. I knew him personally and I was so hurt and broken hearted about what happened to Lorenzen. God bless his mom he would always mention his mom when I crossed paths with him. We share close birthdays his mom and I. Rest in heaven Lorenzen!! ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
The transformation with his child's mother was insane. She went from really cute and beautiful to literally a bugawolf In a pretty short time while he was still shining like new money.
@@ekbankshe unfortunately loved a monster.
@ekbanks
Bugawolf Mann I ain’t heard that in years 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
The “devil” will age you especially when you sell your soul for money!
@@kelj4517 lmao I had to take it back to the 90s to describe her, Realize no one back then ever used that in a sentence cause I damn sure didn't know how to spell it properly
@ekbanks
You did a damn good job on using the work because I shol knew what you meant 🤣🤣🤣
Keep that same energy you had in court, because we as the people don't wanna hear nothing from you now. RIP Lorenzo.🙏🖤
I couldn’t have said it better. 👏🏾👏🏾
agreed
😅ppp pppp
The man said he ain't do it I believe him after a convicted murderer allegedly told him how tf he knew where the gun was y'all didn't even listen to the whole dam thing .
@coreymcgowen5202 I listened to the whole story. I bet if it was one of ur loved ones...you wouldn't be running your MF mouth. #GTFOH
So why didn't you take the stand? Prayers and condolences to the victim's family.
If it wasn’t me Best believe I’m gonna take the stand an act like a damn fool to get my point across😂😂🤣👀👀👀👀💀💀💀💀💀🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼🤦🏼♂️🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🤷🏼?????
The ex-WIFE and Billy destroyed Lorenzen's life
She's needs jail time just like him it's a sad n hurting to know she's free 😢 a great man lost his life
He couldn’t tell his side of the story at the trial??? Nah you killed that man so I’m trying to figure out what he could possibly say.
He did it, I know him & his family personally. And trust me he been having an affair with Sierra Wright for years. They all belong to the same church. And she been plotting on Lorenzen, if he only didn't try to be so soft hearted about the mother of his kids. And give he way to much trust. He knew she always made threats towards him, and saying what she would have done to him. He loved his kids, & he always tried to give her that much respect because he wasn't no dirty guy he love his kids unconditionally. Billy and his closest male cousins , were drug dealers & very flashy, Billy always been an arrogant cocky dummy, & thought he was untouchable.!!! His cousins was working for the grizzlies and that's how he was able to get close. Sierra had him cutting their grass and stuff, he is 💯 guilty.
WHOA
Great you know him and his character
Then I believe you about his cocky ways and how he dated the wife. They all should feel 10 carrot stupid for killing that man and getting caught
And her sister, former Memphis senator Katrina Robinson, later caught with wire fraud, is good friends with Mia jaye, young dolph's baby mother..
@@allmoni_n so this girl family had power no wonder she thought she would get caught
@@henryevans2935 yes and alot believe the same happened with young dolph..
Authorities should add 10 years on your sentence. Everytime you speak Lorenzo's name! 💯 Go take a look in the mirror and slap the s#** out yourself. That you failed yourself and your family. Not only that, you fell for the oldest trick in the book. Sex, lies, money and drugs. Lol, you're right where you should be. All your nightmares are now reality. Karma has no expiration date, and it's paying you in full. My prayers are for the people who really truly loved Lorenzo. Which are family members on his mother's and father's side. ✝️ 🙏🏾
What a waist of time and resources. Both of them should have got the death penalty.
YOU ALLOW JEZEBEL TO TRICK YOU , SO DO THE CRIME DO THE TIME ❗
@@shinningstarr8679 Jesus saves and comes too quickly in more ways than one 🙏. Things just didn't work out at all
He did not understand this old saying Fast Money$ will have you doing SLOW TIME
🗣Repent Israelites all praise to the most high YAHAWAH AND HIS SON YAHAWASHI🛸🤴🏽🦁⌛️🔥
The so called black man, Latino, and Native Americans are the Israelites. Yahawah chosen people. That are scattered in all nations through our fathers. Making them Israelite foreigners/Scattered sheep/The multitude.
Yahawashi speaking: Matthew 15:24
“But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”
Deuteronomy 32:39 “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.”
Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Still to this day I cannot believe this happened .
Be careful around friends and family
Rest in paradise #55! I remember modeling my game after Lorenzen Wright when he was at Memphis. May the killer and his ex wife pay for what they did.
Welp, the judge gave him a chance to tell his side of the story but he refused. He was busy trying to save Sherra azz. Now she will be free and he will be resting in prison. Smdh!
Who else’s cellphone was near the murder scene?
Lorenzen was FINE!!!! ❤🕊
Yes indeed and his so called wife. If that's what she called herself. Is a hideous 🤯 looking 🤡 clown and will get everything She deserves.
IKR!!😍😍
He was.. mmhmm. I wish I was his wife. She was a lucky woman to get to be his wife and even if their marriage didn't go well - I'm sure he was a wonderful father. Why take that man life like that?
@@Prettyrissa GREEDY!! She preyed on him anyway. She older than him. He was 17 and she was 23. All that to have him killed!!😡😡
@@nakitapalmer656 oh wow! I didn't know that. She was stupid as hell I know that cus she didn't have to kill him or have him killed. She took her kids father away.. May he Rest In Peace.
“They even ate lunch! 🤷🏽♂️”…what were they supposed to do?! Wait for your lawyer to prove your innocence lol
Lorenzen was my favorite basketball player, he was kind, good hearted I believe. His mother was the kind of mom that all kids need. Tiger came outta her when her boy got killed. God bless her! Sherra w shouldn't even still sign her last name as Lorenzens.
I hate that this case took so long. He fell in love with the woman and she got him to take the rap for what her and her cousin did but he let that happen. He should have said all this at trial. This was a sad case. One I think deserves a movie!
Or he was a willing participant
Your comment makes so much sense.Either way if he took the stand or plea his phone was detected in the area of the murder.Then aged backwards lying cousin said he was there with aged backwards.The cousin most definitely played a role in the murder.And aged backwards should’ve received life she was the mastermind of the murder.
@@lady2550. How do you know? Were you there?
@@norshstephens2395 yea I was there. Obviously that's my opinion. You sound upset like you was there!!!
I remember it was said the cousin was the other conspirator.
There is no honor among thieves
He said a bunch of nothing
Nah you got played bruh
Right! He's just sitting up in prison. Telling lies, all of them!
He's ready to talk now huh lol
But why speak now when he had the opportunity to tell his side of the story. What he failed to realize Sherra used him as a pawn for her dirty work.
Oldest trick in the book! Sex, lies, money and drugs! 💯
GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY 💯💯💯 AND SHE SHOULD’VE GOTTEN THE DEALTH PENALTY!!!!! PERIOD. IF IT WASN’T FOR HER HE WOULD STILL BE HERE 😢 THEN WHY KEEP MAKING DEALS WITH THESE CRIMINALS 💯
I guess Being in Prison getting the Best of him he ready to recant his story Boy sit yo azz down and serve it time...its too late now Ray
Lol 🤣🤣🤣 Yup, it's getting the better of him everytime he takes a shower.
I remember this story, it was so sad. His ex wife needs to be put under the jail!!! My old principal knows the family and she always said that the ex wife had something so with his murder.
So he said all that to say nothing at all 😠
I thought it was just me.
I'm sorry but no matter how emotional i am i would NEVER Accept that guilty plea.But he did?why?
Why wait all these years to speak your truth? if I wasn't there I would have taken the stand & spoken my truth. I believe she should have had to tell the complete truth as to what happened that night of the murder of Lorenzo.
That’s you though. You’d be surprised how many guys are in prison cause the “no snitchin” rule
He needs money on his books.
You don't take the stand in your own murder trial genius. If you got on that stand you would be on the phone with the news like this guy talking about I didn't do it.
@@jarvisdixon8823 If a person didn't do it then taking the stand to plead your innocence makes sense.
Obviously you know nothing about the law. A lawyer will always advise you not to take the stand in your own murder trial genius. Stop watching law and order, it's not real.
Stop talking to him. He's simply trying to get out of jail. He needs to do his time, he's NOT getting out!
I remember watching this on the True Crime Network. She got away with that murder for a long time. But watching it, i never believed he had anything to do with the murder.
We had a cold case solved after 40 years!!!! 2 teenage girls.Turns out their killer was a serial killer/ rapist.You can run but you can't hide !!!!
No way I’m innocent and don’t testify for myself.
It’s common to be innocent and not take the stand.
@@lorettabennett9608 why be a common innocent prisoner. WTF
They ate lunch ... why waist time on this guys excuses
So it wasn’t his weapon and he wasn’t there he says.. why let Jimmie’s testimony seal your fate if you’re innocent and the jury got it wrong? Why not testify? Who had your phone? Why now?! You weren’t involved, but you know of “other ppl” who were.. and didn’t think to bring it up when they first started looking as you? 185 total calls to the same person within 30 days.. how much work was needed to be talked about? I have so many questions…
He is bored and probably doesn't get any money for commissary
@@lilcourtny08lol 🤣🤣🤣
@@Blaze-hj4yjand white lives lied. Who breaks the law and all of a sudden gets amnesia. They walk around wearing blue uniforms and carry guns. With white sheets covering their head. They forget to take their meds. To try and take the focus off yourselves. And is protected by that white privilege flex card.
@Blaze-hj4yj Meanwhile in Boston, WHITE MAN beats his pregnant wife to death with a baseball bat. Damn savages need to go back to Europe
@@Blaze-hj4yjdummy
He should of said that in court
Liar , we saw the text messages, pictures, plus why was your phone at the murder scene? You threw your life away for some 🐱 now suffer the consequences
Like your cell phone dinging on them towers is not emotion sir.
It seems that the man that knew where the weapon was at is the murderer. That smirk on his face tells it all, how can they just let this man go knowing he's had a hand in this murder. Look how he's swerving back and forth in that chair spinning webs of lies🤨🤔
The Police killed Lorenzen Wright 😮
@@brizzy4932😒😒😒🙄
There's a judgement day he will not be able to to get away with anything.
He can't be serious 🤔
But then again what else does he have to do? In my opinion the ex Wife should have a life sentence 1st & whoever helped her do this should get the same thing..
Their lives for his life!!
She'll get out before he will. Just in time to destroy someone else's life.
@@thatsfacts206 smh
He's talking but nothing new is coming out if his mouth , he's right where he belongs.
I don't even know why they wasted their time talking to him. He just want to persuade these ladies to believe he's innocent. So they can fight for his freedom........and you know the rest.
Sad thing is jurys get it wrong all the time , only ones who knows the true is him & god all we can do is hope they got it right. MY CONDOLENCES TO THE VICTIMS FAMILY
Rest In Peace Lorenzen Wright 🙏🏽♥️🕊️
We don’t want to hear 👂 his story.. Have a good life
So far billy ray has set nothing straight...
Nothing straight.
Lol no YOU got it wrong when you took part in a murder..
Sounds like their key witness they gave the deal was the murdering accomplice
Make it make since you should have told your side when you had the chance i believe all of them were there he just was the fall guy
Yup, and he's gonna fall and slip on the soap. Lol🤣🤣🤣
You know when a person is lying , & Billy is doing just that. Thanks to the state doing a great job. & THE other individual who was in on the for stepping up & telling the truth to what exactly happened, and taking them right to the murder weapon. And yes they found it years later. Case closed.!!! Now Lorenzen family finally got the closesure they wanted, and unfortunately as his mother ms.wright always knew & said. Serria had something to do with him being killed. They left him to die in the woods, & for days he rotted and possibly worser.. R.I.P Lorenzen Wright, and his legacy will forever live on.
He needed some TV time. Boy go to sleep.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
He was a simp that robbed a man of his life.
Why didn’t he say it in court ?
Hell has no fury like a scorned woman.
He lying his phone was pinged to the location of the murder
She need to stay her whole 30 years😊
Convicts will say anything to get out and not take responsibilities for their actions.
Jail makes them change their story😂😂😂😂
how was his cellphone records show him in the area that night
I was so mad when Shirley went up for parole she still think her shit don't stink the mother always said follow the money and billy u need to take plenty of seat
Why now though? He had his day in court, had a chance to testify to his side of everything! He (or maybe under the advisement of his counsel) chose to exercise his fifth amendment. I have absolutely no sympathy for it. I’m sorry, not sorry.
So sad I remember that case so sad Rip 🙏
This interview is really not telling his story though. It’s just saying he feels he was falsely convicted based on emotions. But he is not saying exactly what he did or finding do or who actually did what. That’s what we are expecting to hear from this interview not what we already know from the trial.
I agree with you. He just wants to get outta his jail ceil for a while! The reality that he’ll be there for a very long time has set in now! Bastard!
Them 6 months done start hitting him
How's the star witness a "convicted murderer".. or did I mishear something?
Turner thought he was gonna get the money and the 😺, now he gotta ⚔️ fight for the rest of his life😂😂😂😂😂
He need commissary .
He knows what happened and yet he isn’t telling what happened.
Guilty.
The audacity
This man is completely delusional..they got him on a recording WITH SHERRA saying they found the gun
I do think Jimmy did it and not Billy.
RIP Lorenz Wright🥀 i still got your card from when I was a lil kid in my collection 💔 😔 I hope u in peace now brother!
This dude is the biggest fool on the planet. When you know you killed someone, and the police knows you killed someone ; you should take the plead deal and run with it!
HONESTLY……he should have received the death penalty & unalived by now but welcome to America. I mean how would ur phone ping to the murder scene that night if u weren’t there??? 😡😡😡
Prison is hell on earth. Everyday he goes to bed and wake up. He'll be reminded of the bad choices he made in his life. All of them man are gonna get at him. He's new meat on the block. Lol 🤣🤣🤣
@@thatsfacts206 lol…..oh please the motto in prison is “don’t let the time do u!” They are not thinking about their choices. 😂😂😂
The fact that she left his body to ly there and rot to 57 pounds!...knowing his mother was worried about her son...all his loved ones in grief...she had no conscious at all. "NONE" as long as she got that check!...how do you do that to the father of your children...and then have the nerrrrrve to fake it at his funeral!😡😡😡😡
No way I'm so called innocent and doing all that time dude crazy
Do people understand what jury instructions/jury charges are? Do people understand there is a thorough screening process to select a jury "of your peers". They were selected on the chance they would be against this defendant. Clearly these broadcasters don't understand the system. Black people in particular are railroaded into prison. The only mistake this man might've made was putting his faith in the justice system
Jimmy tryna get his shit reduced
If Sum-one really had no involvement would ask for a lie detector test asap just to clear there name or would have spoken on this in court with out a lawyer,no matter wut
Why you didnt speak up for yourself let that man snitch on you & get you life if you didnt do it or wasnt even there
If i was innocent & wrongfully sentenced i would shout it out loud in court ( I Did Not Kill Lorenzen Wright) instead of just being silent and taking the judgement. To me he is the killer because he didn't fight for his innocence. So he guilty like a mofo
Player go an fulfill your role as a PRISON WIFE.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
No, Lorenzen's life was taken, not yours!
He don't make no sense to kill a man you ve never met
He had his chance at trial should've told the truth then do your time an shut up
Jealousy is a murdering spirit.
His cousin obviously murdered him and blamed the other guy
He's lying! I watched this ENTIRE TRIAL! He's guilty as sin!
What does he have to say now?That young man is deceased and he pulled the trigger!
And he needs to stay where he is, he had time to talk the day they plotted
How do u think the family feels when they turn on the news and see u giving their sons murderer a platform to spew his innocence.
he just look like an idiot for not protesting his innocence since they made him a suspect.
He could have told his story in court. Dummy should have taken the 30 years.
All a sudden he talking after 13 years
With all respect. This dude seem off. He talking but putting blame on everybody but himself. The fool went as far as saying the jury got it wrong Hey dude you co-d snitch on you.
