He's trying to show the jury that Riverra lies, says he's illiterate but has written forms out and letters. Therefore he's trying to prove Rivera can't be trusted.
Not at all. His goals are to discredit Rivera by showing inconsistencies in his testimony - even random ones - and undermine the rather scant evidence of Garcia's involvement. Defense theory is that Luis acted alone, only Luis places Garcia at the scene, and Luis has a big fat gigantic motive to lie. I thought the attorney was disorganized until I watched his opening and closing. The crosses seem completely different when you know what he's up to.
I don't get what the lawyers are trying to do by repeating the same thing over and over, and I don't get the points they're trying to get to. I'm sure they are annoying the jury. This dude in the box is quite an impressive character. He's been in that box for days keeping the same calm demeanor.
Lawyers repeat questions in different tones to try an stear a defendant to a specific answer. Thats why when there's objection a lawyer will refraise question in order to get a reply the lawyer wants to obtain. But this lawyer is absolutely a legal aid lawyer bottom of barrel idiot. Hes actually a disgrace.

I have never seen a trial where there were so many lawyers and players. sssssh. I hope they charge the Adelsons. They need to be punished for selfishly taking the life of their grand childrens very accomplished father. So sad for Dan Markel's parents.

49:00 etc. This lawyer doesn’t seem to understand that the police have no authority to offer plea deals, it’s done by the DAs office. It’s no wonder the witness is confused...so am I.
I agree with many of you on this defense attorney....he is so annoying and antagonizing - just asks stupid questions. (click, click) 🙄 Actually he reminds me of Jennifer Wilmott a bit from the Arias Trial. The Judge intervened "Irrelevant, move on" "You already asked...no need to do it twice" Love it...great job Judge although I would think the prosecutor should be doing that. Maybe this court has a different process?
in any class , you have students at the top of the class an students, in the bottom. They all graduated, they all get jobs. Wonder what part of the class this lawyer passed in? lol
She doesn’t need to. The side who is always objecting is the side that’s got nothing. She is letting him hang himself. And making sure to give them nothing to use for appeal. They are letting the defense bring in every stupid thing and say every stupid thing so they don’t have shit to appeal with. Objecting over nonsense is beneath her. She’d be objecting every 2 seconds. This is all strategic. Better for him to remain unlikable to the jury.
He said Garcia will be his best friend until the day hes gone. I'm almost positive Garcia told Rivera to take the plea deal and tell on him to save Rivera's life because he was facing the death penalty. That's why Rivera isn't in protective custody. Because they are in this with eachother and they are making it look like hes snitching.
I was waiting for a comment like this. I was thinking that myself. One of these cross examination vids I saw Rivera look towards Garcia and for a split second. He inconspicuously put his right fist to his heart quickly while looking towards Garcia. No one in the courtroom caught it or if they did they didn’t mention it but when I saw that in addition to Rivera not trashing Garcia at all in testimony but speaking highly of him and their friendship made me think the same
Exactly. Garcia knows if rivera didnt give him up that rivera would of gotten the death penalty and Garcia knew either way he was gonna get caught so he might as well save his boys life while he can. Rivera didnt just turn on his people like that. Hes the leader of that gang. He would already be dead. I'm positive that they are working together in this. You can tell by the way they talk.
Bleacherz without this wittiness no one would know how the plan went down that day he gives a chronological breakdown of all the plans so he is a key witness

This trial continues to be a circus. Wendi Adelson ordered the hit. She (Wendi Adelson, is a lawyer).... gets immunity to testify. How does she get immunity.... for ordering the hit? While all these others (who she paid to carry it out) are going to jail?
hahahaha did u watch the 5 hour interrogation where she thinks they’re just sitting in there to keep her safe while they’re figuring out if she’s in some sorta threat 😂She’s all “I don’t need a lawyer or anything do I???😪” Detective: “no no not at all....I mean, I can’t tell you what to do but if you feel more comfortable having one here while we talk I can run down and grab your phone and you can call someone if you’d like...Just let me know.” Fucking donkey!!! He “had to go down to get your phone” cuz u gave it to them to run an entire forensic sweep on it...Honey, U need a lawyer!! How does a lawyer not know they would need a lawyer like 10 minutes prior to them asking if they could copy the content of your phone!!!! If u woulda asked if u were free to go, answer would be no....So u were being detained...everyone else could see it expect you 😂🎉
Talk about a credible witness. Who among us doubts he cant read or write. That obnoxious lawyer didn't put a ding in him. He succeeded in annoying the judge and us by being repetitive. I wonder how much he was paid for that pathetic defense
how can you love a court system that let people hire goons to kill people , the judge is part of the cover up ,if he was a real man of the law he would get those babies away from that hating killing family , like he said you know what time it is i just sit here everyday at 8,
Maybe this attorney should just stick with defending traffic tickets like illegally parked cars or maybe when he gets better we can bump him up to a moving violation such as no license plate light. Please check his bar card to make sure it’s real.
38 years old.. lived his whole life in miami... went to school... and could not learn to read or write.... what a bunch of BS... put Wendi ... her mother and brother on the stand
You do know people have learning disabilities? And English is one of the hardest languages to learn how to read and write in as well, so for someone that has learning disabilities it’s much more difficult.
I know this is a rhetorical question but as you know the defense attorney is being a bit shady and messy just to win. And he keeps mentioning them to intimidate this witness/informant by reminding him what the consequences are for testifying against his client aka another Latin king...And to make him appear to be breaking the so-called king of silence code. He does something similar to this with every witness even if they are not a king. His defense is so3rd grade and is probably affiliated with the gang himself. The judge knows his tactics are and is using intimidation that is why the judge is telling him to stop repeating and asking the same questions. Judge recognizes his bullying strategies.
All this damn education in this courtroom,and nobody can figure out how to prove this guy can really read. Just goes to show “street smarts” will always trump “book smarts”. This atty is sooo frustrated.
I wonder if Revira has a "legal" driver's licence. If so, any one of those attorneys could have questioned him on that. How would he have ever passed the written part of a driving test?
I find it amusing that Luis passed some BS reading tutor test in prison and Garcias lawyer expects him to be able to on the spot promptly read a complicated court document 😂
Take it easy on the counsel judge. These guys faced with here say and laying a foundation and immunity are doing a great job. This is impossible . There is one thing you can do counsel!. But your honor, great job moving it along. . I think the judge should ask for a strategy list from counsel before trial
I’m not an attorney but Jesus Christ would somebody please get this guy out of the court room. I’m not sure who the stupid person here is by all the questions, is it the defendant or the attorney. He sounds like he’s is very unsure of what question he wants to ask.
Yeah ,so smart ... they left traces all over the place . He rented car and hotel on his name (?!?!?!?!?) . Not to mention ticket . Doing job drunk ,on drugs ... etc . Whole life in crime and he is broke and cant rememeber how many trials he has ...

Love this judge. So calm, measured and polite. So Baby Boomer! "I think there is a knob there" (for blowing up the screen display). Maybe not a techy, but the kind of representation that is, unfortunately, disappearing from justice systems.
@@Dandelionfleur I don't for the life of me remember posting that comment; however, the judge is most certainly a Baby Boomer and not tech savvy. That is certainly a Baby Boomer thing for many. A person can have dignity and be tech challenged.
I am a so called baby boomer and while I may not be super tech savvy I am competent. My friends are too, many of them retired professionals, engineers, teachers, scientists, artists, even my brother, a heavy duty mechanic is tech savvy. The Adelsons for all their wealth and accomplishments were not tech savvy! The judge is doing a great job with or without tech. Just remember tech was not always around and we did just fine! @@normamimosa5991
Garcia's defence lawyer asked back and forth tyring questions actually he held up a lot of own statements to Rivera that were already done, a lot about drug consume and medication. Interesting question: if he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia? Answer: yes. Are there any medical reports in court? Beginning at min 21 there was an interesting questioning. Rivera answered always Yes. Your plan was to kill Dan Markel that day? You were not sure if this is gonna happen? You indicated you didn't want to be involved in the killing? And Mr. Garcia wanted you to be the shooter in this case? A: correct. And as result of that you were paid 35000 in the end 37000 (he didn't ask why 2k more)? As you testified yesterday you didn't do the job you were hired for (shooting) you simply were de chauffeur (driver)? A: yes, correct sir. This questions were total against the interests of the defendant Garcia and in the sense of the plea deal! Such a dumb stupid lawyer! Not well prepared. He doesn't know what's relevant. He repeated for the jury that Rivera didn't shoot and Garcia was therefore the killer. Afterwards he asks the same things about medication, bipolar disorder, .... incredible. What's the diagnosis of the lawyer? His further questioning of Luis Rivera also charges Katy Magbanua a lot. Questioned 2 times if he sold drugs to Charly Adelson, 2 times objection sustained! At the end he asks again about the shooting, nothing new. Judge stopped and asks if the cross examination can be ended. Lawyer goes through his papers. How embarrassing!
Just because this man cant eead and write dont think hes not smart. It takes alot to get theough life like that. Hes treating everyone with respect please do the same. This is not his fault its his parents and the teachers who let this man down. With a tutour he can over come.
Not his fault? Smart? Since when do you blame your parents and teachers for your bad adult decisions?? I had nothing but obstacles in my upbringing and have spent zero time in prison just saying
@@d-lowatts2050 Pretty sure you weren’t born into the Latin Kings. With a family living in poverty in the hood with at least 8 kids. Also pretty sure you didn’t drop out in 6th grade unable to read or write because your parents and teachers never took time to teach you.
It’s everytime this lawyer uses more advanced words like memorialise an interview he doesn’t understand the questions but of all of them that are probably literate it’s the actual illiterate one that took a deal wether it was not wanting to spend his whole life in prison or that he did have some morals or remorse, he was the only one who did the right thing after the fact now Charlie’s been found guilty it’s mommy Donna’s turn after trying to flee to Vietnam, hopefully not long to go till Wendi goes down as well and they deserve harsher sentences than the first 3 if it wasn’t for this family these 3 would never even have known the name Dan Markle let alone conspire the murder him. Hopefully these 2 boys learn the awful truth of the horrible family that has raised them for most of the lives and changed their names . RIP DAN
Gang life from a very young age and inter generational. I’ve seen young boys who were being groomed who had no parents, and looked as if their hearts had been ripped out repeatedly.
He's the kind of attorney you can get for $2500 and an ounce of cocaine. He seems like the type who sniffs coke and sleeps with strippers. I think he wants to become a Latin King also.
This cross examiner is just waist of time. He repeat asking stupid questions. many times the judge told him to move on but he rudely doesn't move on. Him and his team have the same shameless mentality texture.
1:05:19 funny he says his life is now in jeopardy due to his testimony. At least he's aware but Danny M. had no warnings that his life would soon be over.
His declarations gave me chills on how many gang members live in our streets and how easy it is for them to buy guns an ammunition. what's going on in Washington? Do they care? Why do all our tax money goes to help foreign problems in foreign countries? Could we invest more of our tax money here in America to clean our streets from these epidemic huge problem we are facing with drugs dealers in our streets that are killing our people? Why do we care more about other people dying? We should fix our broken country before we take our money somewhere else
Does anyone know if Sigfredo Garcia gave evidence as I cannot find anything here. Are those two "best friends" giving evidence against each other now? Thanks
Useless attorney , repeats everything, annoying and needs to go back to law school. unbelievable. Rivera makes him look so stupid and keeps his composure!
I know! I felt bad for him at that part...not that defense is trying to be friendly but cruel to bag on someone for their education...u never know where he was at that age and what the income of his family is...I’d be willing to bet he lived a rough life in Mexico with a house filled with the whole family like they do...Probably has to fend for himself at a young age rather than be in school like most of us do and consider to be the norm....I hope Rivera gets to prison and gets his GED and takes classes to help him come out a better man (prognosis) 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
For a man who can't read or write passed his own name, he's been the most intelligent out of all the suspects.

that look at 55:22 money shot. When they make the movie promise me that will be in it !
These questions are not relevant AT ALL!
After watching the Depp trial and then watching this, I see what a “no nonsense” judge this guy is.
Judge ain’t playing
Move on dumbass
You put my life in danger saying that...this guy took the life of some other guy. Deserves everything he gets.
This trial continues to be a circus.
Wendi Adelson ordered the hit.
She (Wendi Adelson, is a lawyer).... gets immunity to testify.
How does she get immunity.... for ordering the hit? While all these others (who she paid to carry it out) are going to jail?
hahahaha did u watch the 5 hour interrogation where she thinks they’re just sitting in there to keep her safe while they’re figuring out if she’s in some sorta threat 😂She’s all “I don’t need a lawyer or anything do I???😪” Detective: “no no not at all....I mean, I can’t tell you what to do but if you feel more comfortable having one here while we talk I can run down and grab your phone and you can call someone if you’d like...Just let me know.” Fucking donkey!!! He “had to go down to get your phone” cuz u gave it to them to run an entire forensic sweep on it...Honey, U need a lawyer!! How does a lawyer not know they would need a lawyer like 10 minutes prior to them asking if they could copy the content of your phone!!!! If u woulda asked if u were free to go, answer would be no....So u were being detained...everyone else could see it expect you 😂🎉
Donna Adelson ordered the hit.
I can answer all the attorneys questions, because HE ALREADY ASKED THEM!!!!
Talk about a credible witness. Who among us doubts he cant read or write. That obnoxious lawyer didn't put a ding in him. He succeeded in annoying the judge and us by being repetitive. I wonder how much he was paid for that pathetic defense
I would trust the witness more than this stupid lawyer!!! Give the lawyer a drug test!!!
Looks to me like Rivera and Garcia are willing to throw Kathrine under-the-bus for Rivera’s plea deal. They’re just playing the system.
And he is not court appointed...
Love the JUDGE!!!
how can you love a court system that let people hire goons to kill people , the judge is part of the cover up ,if he was a real man of the law he would get those babies away from that hating killing family , like he said you know what time it is i just sit here everyday at 8,
How? This whole family got away with killing an innocent and defenseless man.
Lol clueless blonde female
@@robinkonway5243 bigot
Maybe this attorney should just stick with defending traffic tickets like illegally parked cars or maybe when he gets better we can bump him up to a moving violation such as no license plate light. Please check his bar card to make sure it’s real.
38 years old.. lived his whole life in miami... went to school... and could not learn to read or write.... what a bunch of BS... put Wendi ... her mother and brother on the stand
You do know people have learning disabilities? And English is one of the hardest languages to learn how to read and write in as well, so for someone that has learning disabilities it’s much more difficult.
Does anybody else wonder how much a bar card cost in Florida?
Mr. Rivera is an antihero for sure. 😎
This attorney is rude & condescending.
What the heck is this lawyer doing He sounds he came in without a plan.
Why he keep bringing up the Latin Kings...
To prejudice the jury. To make the jurors keep thinking he's in a bad gang
They are trying to mess with him and he knows it. They are just trying to discredit anything he says and make him look at bad as possible.
I know this is a rhetorical question but as you know the defense attorney is being a bit shady and messy just to win. And he keeps mentioning them to intimidate this witness/informant by reminding him what the consequences are for testifying against his client aka another Latin king...And to make him appear to be breaking the so-called king of silence code. He does something similar to this with every witness even if they are not a king. His defense is so3rd grade and is probably affiliated with the gang himself. The judge knows his tactics are and is using intimidation that is why the judge is telling him to stop repeating and asking the same questions. Judge recognizes his bullying strategies.
Love how quiet he gets a third of the way through. Like a little kid lol
To whom are you referring?
All this damn education in this courtroom,and nobody can figure out how to prove this guy can really read. Just goes to show “street smarts” will always trump “book smarts”. This atty is sooo frustrated.
I wonder if Revira has a "legal" driver's licence. If so, any one of those attorneys could have questioned him on that. How would he have ever passed the written part of a driving test?
Rivera is much smarter than this attorney and I think it's hilarious.
@@tammydayrhoads7017 exactly WTH
Tammy Day Rhoads several ways around that.,money talks
I have a neighbor has driver's license. Can't really read or write.
He had a job with city.
I find it amusing that Luis passed some BS reading tutor test in prison and Garcias lawyer expects him to be able to on the spot promptly read a complicated court document 😂
This lawyer thinks he's better than this witness!!! What a joke!!! Let the witness and this stupid lawyer have a breaktime together!!!
Take it easy on the counsel judge. These guys faced with here say and laying a foundation and immunity are doing a great job. This is impossible . There is one thing you can do counsel!. But your honor, great job moving it along. . I think the judge should ask for a strategy list from counsel before trial
This Lawyer is awful. Definitely a court appointed Attorney!!!
Overpaid attorney waste of time and money got nothing out of this gangster that he had already testified
This defense lawyer never asked the car rental agent/owner when he testified whether luis Rivera received help filling in rental contract.
Because he’s not that smart
I’m starting to think this judge may need some assistance from this defendant at a later date the way he is taking up for him.
He is supposed to; defense is wasting time.
Lol surely you're kidding
Always be alert of your surroundings people. Make sure you’re not being followed
I’m not an attorney but Jesus Christ would somebody please get this guy out of the court room. I’m not sure who the stupid person here is by all the questions, is it the defendant or the attorney. He sounds like he’s is very unsure of what question he wants to ask.
I can see why this guy was high in his rank of the gang he was affiliated with .
Yeah ,so smart ... they left traces all over the place . He rented car and hotel on his name (?!?!?!?!?) . Not to mention ticket . Doing job drunk ,on drugs ... etc . Whole life in crime and he is broke and cant rememeber how many trials he has ...
Lol.... sounds like " I just shot someone" and the 911 operator says " what did you shoot the person with" caller says "a gun"
Christine Da Silva 😂
HELL YES COCAINE IS MEDICATION. LETS VOTE THIS GUY PRESIDENT
This made me laugh. 😂
They keep saying they were in a Nissan but the ticket says a Hyundai?
I feel sorry that Rivera cant read or write. How difficult must it be for him his whole life.
What is this lawyer getting at???
I would of straight up told him what does all these questions have to do with the murder?
15 grams in 24 hrs...had to be spilling it or smoking it...I smoked 30 grams a day Monday thru Thursday....was on home confinement had to clean my system for the drug test on Monday at the prison...did that for 3 moths straight...sat on the couch and ordered from the tv network...and ate captain crunch....collecting $720 a week unemployment...never wanted to kill anyone
Glad those days are way behind me
The Latin Kings have nothing to do with this , but the main people who do ,he doesn't mention at all 🤔🙄
so very true
Love this judge. So calm, measured and polite. So Baby Boomer! "I think there is a knob there" (for blowing up the screen display). Maybe not a techy, but the kind of representation that is, unfortunately, disappearing from justice systems.
Calm, measured and polite, it's called Dignity, it's not a Baby Boomer thang!
@@Dandelionfleur I don't for the life of me remember posting that comment; however, the judge is most certainly a Baby Boomer and not tech savvy. That is certainly a Baby Boomer thing for many. A person can have dignity and be tech challenged.
I am a so called baby boomer and while I may not be super tech savvy I am competent. My friends are too, many of them retired professionals, engineers, teachers, scientists, artists, even my brother, a heavy duty mechanic is tech savvy. The Adelsons for all their wealth and accomplishments were not tech savvy! The judge is doing a great job with or without tech. Just remember tech was not always around and we did just fine! @@normamimosa5991
The guy mentioned he is trying to get his ged and has tutor that is helping him.
Worst atty Ever..
Would it be fair to say this is a bad lawyer 🤔 lol
(Luis Rivera voice) yes ma'am
😂
Garcia's defence lawyer asked back and forth tyring questions actually he held up a lot of own statements to Rivera that were already done, a lot about drug consume and medication. Interesting question: if he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia? Answer: yes. Are there any medical reports in court? Beginning at min 21 there was an interesting questioning. Rivera answered always Yes. Your plan was to kill Dan Markel that day? You were not sure if this is gonna happen? You indicated you didn't want to be involved in the killing? And Mr. Garcia wanted you to be the shooter in this case? A: correct. And as result of that you were paid 35000 in the end 37000 (he didn't ask why 2k more)? As you testified yesterday you didn't do the job you were hired for (shooting) you simply were de chauffeur (driver)? A: yes, correct sir.
This questions were total against the interests of the defendant Garcia and in the sense of the plea deal!
Such a dumb stupid lawyer! Not well prepared. He doesn't know what's relevant. He repeated for the jury that Rivera didn't shoot and Garcia was therefore the killer.
Afterwards he asks the same things about medication, bipolar disorder, .... incredible. What's the diagnosis of the lawyer? His further questioning of Luis Rivera also charges Katy Magbanua a lot.
Questioned 2 times if he sold drugs to Charly Adelson, 2 times objection sustained! At the end he asks again about the shooting, nothing new. Judge stopped and asks if the cross examination can be ended. Lawyer goes through his papers. How embarrassing!
Just because this man cant eead and write dont think hes not smart. It takes alot to get theough life like that. Hes treating everyone with respect please do the same. This is not his fault its his parents and the teachers who let this man down. With a tutour he can over come.
Not his fault? Smart? Since when do you blame your parents and teachers for your bad adult decisions?? I had nothing but obstacles in my upbringing and have spent zero time in prison just saying
@@d-lowatts2050 Pretty sure you weren’t born into the Latin Kings. With a family living in poverty in the hood with at least 8 kids. Also pretty sure you didn’t drop out in 6th grade unable to read or write because your parents and teachers never took time to teach you.
It’s everytime this lawyer uses more advanced words like memorialise an interview he doesn’t understand the questions but of all of them that are probably literate it’s the actual illiterate one that took a deal wether it was not wanting to spend his whole life in prison or that he did have some morals or remorse, he was the only one who did the right thing after the fact now Charlie’s been found guilty it’s mommy Donna’s turn after trying to flee to Vietnam, hopefully not long to go till Wendi goes down as well and they deserve harsher sentences than the first 3 if it wasn’t for this family these 3 would never even have known the name Dan Markle let alone conspire the murder him. Hopefully these 2 boys learn the awful truth of the horrible family that has raised them for most of the lives and changed their names . RIP DAN
Such dumb questions.... this attorney 🤦🏻♀️
Not at all; he's trying to discredit the witness and unearth facts inconsistent with his client's guilt. This kind of questioning accomplishes that.
Man this fool lawyer making him a damn hero
I wish camera would show Garcia and Katie’s faces as he testifies
If this lawyer was desperately hoping that Rivera would lose his 💩, he was deeply mistaken! 😂
Rivera is about to launch off the stand at this inept lawyer...Christ!! What school did he attend!!
How the fuck he can read whos calling divertido text msg... omg 😱 hes smart to know hell jus get away with it
Sigfredo and Luis have such cold blank looks on their faces. What in the world happens to someone to render them this cold?
ghetto life in the pure
Drugs
Gang life from a very young age and inter generational. I’ve seen young boys who were being groomed who had no parents, and looked as if their hearts had been ripped out repeatedly.
Psychopaths
Their childhood.
I love how he thought he had a gotcha with the text messages 😂
Mr attorney Rivera is laughing At you and you don’t even know it!!
Is this the kind of attorney you can get with 40k?!
He's the kind of attorney you can get for $2500 and an ounce of cocaine. He seems like the type who sniffs coke and sleeps with strippers. I think he wants to become a Latin King also.
@@Ferrucci_1666 He's absolutely obsessed with Latin Kings
This cross examiner is just waist of time. He repeat asking stupid questions. many times the judge told him to move on but he rudely doesn't move on.
Him and his team have the same shameless mentality texture.
1:05:19 funny he says his life is now in jeopardy due to his testimony. At least he's aware but Danny M. had no warnings that his life would soon be over.
His declarations gave me chills on how many gang members live in our streets and how easy it is for them to buy guns an ammunition. what's going on in Washington? Do they care? Why do all our tax money goes to help foreign problems in foreign countries? Could we invest more of our tax money here in America to clean our streets from these epidemic huge problem we are facing with drugs dealers in our streets that are killing our people? Why do we care more about other people dying? We should fix our broken country before we take our money somewhere else
Bidens border wide open. Cartels are in charge. 😢
Does anyone know if Sigfredo Garcia gave evidence as I cannot find anything here. Are those two "best friends" giving evidence against each other now? Thanks
Sigfredo never testified in any trial related to this case.
Now at this point he is a Deadman if he ever gets out.Mr lawyer you playing wit the wrong One yes sir
Useless attorney , repeats everything, annoying and needs to go back to law school. unbelievable. Rivera makes him look so stupid and keeps his composure!
This attorney was later convicted for stupidity 😂
If you're gonna prove the defendant cannot read and write you better come with receipts. LOL.
I know! I felt bad for him at that part...not that defense is trying to be friendly but cruel to bag on someone for their education...u never know where he was at that age and what the income of his family is...I’d be willing to bet he lived a rough life in Mexico with a house filled with the whole family like they do...Probably has to
fend for himself at a young age rather than be in school like most of us do and consider to be the norm....I hope Rivera gets to prison and gets his GED and takes classes to help him
come out a better man (prognosis) 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
