I grabbed my gun, you know, I robbed him. At gunpoint
told him, "get on the ground, (they) gave me everything they had."
Me and my co-defended, start partying...
his stepdad came home, intoxicated, big fight happened and the man ended up dying.
So I got
found guilty of second-degree
intentional murder. We went into the
hotel
the young guy I was with, him in the
clerk begin to argue or whatever, then there was a scuffle
and I got it got involved in it, as a
result the clerk lost his life.
They started rushing at me, telling me, "what are you gonna do with that gun?"
Well, first instinct, I'm not gonna show you a gun and not use it.
So I pulled it out, cocked it and shot him.
He laid back on the concrete, flopping, and
squirting blood.
So I fled from the scene
Older friends and older cousins that was in
the lifestyle
you know, the moving fast, selling drugs,
the gang banging...you know the violence
stuff like that. I always went to them, you know, thinking, "this are my older cousin, I can look up to him, he can answer my questions."
I don't want to say his name on record.
I met a man
...he basically took me under his wing, he gave me my first gun and he taught me
everything that I didn't know...I mean how
to manipulate
women, how to sell drugs. As a kid,
I wanted for my dad's footsteps, but it
wasn't good growing up with a father being an alcoholic.
He would drink six-to-eight quarts of beer a night.
and I grew up taken out of the norm so
I've been an alcoholic since before I was a teenager.
Guy was ask me if I was willing to either 1) be a lookout or 2) sell drugs.
He was the second guy in the command
that particular neighborhood
I would ride with him if he had to distribute
drugs or pick up drugs
or money.
He would explain to me the process, the do's...
the don'ts
he sorta just passed those things along to me.
The reason why the prisons are so packed, I'd have to say, started from childhood.
It could've made a real big difference
in my life, if having a a mentor outside of
my circle.
Can always go to the same people inside of your circle, but they're only going to teach you their lifestyle.
Depending on what you feed your mind at that age, depending on
what influences
that you identify with, that's who you'll be.
