This brave beautiful young woman reminds me so much of Pocahontas! And her famous quotes : Don't lose heart, men…….Remember what awaits us there: freedom, prosperity, the adventures of our lives! Your dear mom is so proud of you looking down from up in heaven!!
When you ask how the governor can do this I will tell you because he probably has a family member there or somebody paid him off and he’s got to pay them back. Why pass the most stupidest bill ever
Chantal and Mike are HEROES. Kudos for the strength, the persistence, the dogged determination.
People like Rodney Patrick McNeal should not EVER be released. Obviously, the 30 years aren't long enough.
Chantal, you made your mother proud.
👏👏👏👏
This is why you vote Republican!!!
Would love an update!
AMAZING STRONG AND BEAUTIFULLY SMART WOMAN…STAY JUST AS YOU ARE…THIS NEW AMERICA NEEDS YOU
The 'Innocence Project' will do themselves a lot of harm when the number of people they get released becomes more important than if they are innocent or guilty!
Watched one today, daughter got released for killing her addicted father with lye and got probation only. No tume. 17 mo start to finish. Probation only, 5 years. She's eager to be known as the new her and thinks Probation will help her be known new. Slippery slope just turned to ice.
The governor and parole board all had recent lobotomies. If this is their best effort then they all need removed. Those with lobotomies cannot be in these positions.
I’m not surprised at all they’re trying to get him out he’s a member of the thin blue line gang they protect each other no matter what they do do away with qualified immunity
It's California, doesn't surprise me that they wanted to let him out.
This is the first I heard of this case. Thank you so very much for reading the comments and acting on this!! Love and blessings always to you and yours. 👍🏻👍🏻💕🙏
the fact that the governor has the power to singlehandedly release violent criminals without consequences is absolute insanity. I'm so glad they all joined forces to have that reversed!
The innocence project don’t really take cases unless there is some type of evidence that say they are innocent so this is a bit shocking to hear!
C❤ uh 48:10
Oh I bet these 2 woman do not think it's wrong to kill A baby if the mother does it. I bet they fight for that right. So stop that part
I cant believe that RODNEY PATRICE MCNEAL was released on parole after serving 25 years in oct 28 2022. He deserve to be in jail for the rest of his life💯. I used to be a big supporter of THE INNOCENCE PROJET but this case makes me doubt their intentions and judgement 🧐😒. Shantel Haynes is a WONDERFUL daughter for fighting so hard for her mom and her little sister Samara who died in her mom's belly. This story is so sad😫🤧

California has turned communist. Unbelievable the violent criminals they let back on the streets to murder or rape again. Newsom is to blame. P&P does as he wants. Unbelievable how Democrat leadership has destroyed my once great home.
Prayers this young woman has a wonderful life. 🙏 So gorgeous.
I agree as citizens of California we should know and have a vote. Newsom is soft on Crimes. The criminal has more rights that the victims. I can't wait to get rid of California leadership and get some that are hard on crime.
Shame on the innocence project
The governor is only granting commuted sentences for potential votes and it’s ridiculous. They are ripping a sense of justice away from the families of the victims that have fought to keep these murders in prison for life. The parol board is desensitized to their role in the justice system. It’s a travesty that the families aren’t given the respect to be in person for these parol hearings instead they are given zoom meeting links. How insulting!
It's disgusting for the California governor n the innocent project to ignore the cause of the victims and to favor the criminals over the dead body of their victims.
He was smart to confess to all the other crimes he committed , what better way to mess with the jury.
What an amazing story! So glad for all of them. We have a totaly different system in The Netherlands. Sometimes I realy wish we had.
I would definitely hope my daughter would do this for me. This actually almost happened to me, and my daughter did wake up and have a weird feeling but she didn't know what was going on. Shes the one who found me unresponsive the next day and got me my mom and emergency medical as well. They found there fentanyl patches on me. I don't even know what those look like or where to access them. But they person who did this to me did have access and I think her just stole them from his dad's pharmacy. I can tell you the police did nothing. I think they sent a rookie over to investigate an attempted murder. I seriously almost died I was on an intubator and out unresponsive for over 24 hours before I started to wake up and even then I was not normal for about another couple of days. They didn't do anything, and because my daughter woke up and heard weird stuff upstairs but didn't see him, I don't know that anything would have happened if I did die. I might have gotten Justice maybe they would have looked at this more seriously but I still think they would have just assumed I committed suicide with own overdose of something I've never seen or used in my life. A lot of times it's just is this winnable or not and if it's not in their minds automatically winnable and easy to investigate they just don't want to bother. I will say the police should have been called immediately but they weren't so certain evidence wasn't kept and certain serial numbers weren't written down which would have actually probably solve this case 100%.
Oh my gosh, this is one of the guys Kim Kardashian was supporting? I really hope I didn't sign any petitions! I don't do a lot of those anyway, but I do remember the innocence project being up about someone recently and I bet this was him. I'm really glad justice prevailed. If also be curious to know if his brother is even getting arrested for any other crimes at all? Mike Newsom should really be ashamed of himself for not doing a better job there. That was about popularity points. If he's every the president I'm leaving LOLOL.
This has to be one of the most powerful episodes of this podcast. Well done. Stay strong Shantel. You have done your mother proud. 🙏🏽❤
Ana, thank-you for this incredible presentation that you have produced and presented the host of Debra's daughter Shantel, District Attorney Michael Ramos, and P.D. Luis Bolanos. This ensemble Podcast is so COMPELLING to me, Shantel, I want to always follow and sign your petition. I am so proud of you as a woman, a mother, a sister, a daughter, and a survivor of Domestic and other violence, amd a citizen of this country is and has always been very proud of my Native American heritage. Women are still being violated in this country, I DID not know about this case. Ana, I found your channel this past year. I cannot lie, I have felt conflicted about "The California Innocence Project," primarily because of my having had crimes committed against myself and loved ones that are covered up and hidden and oft times, the victimized are blamed for what has been done to them. This, from my own position as long-time personal advocate of the violated and the marginalized, in my own subtle ways. ( Although not always seen as subtle by those who want to hide their crimes against others.)
This was a wonderful thing!!! Justice needed to be served and continue to keep this murderer in prison for life!!! Yall are amazing!!! I've been trying to get justice for almost two years now. I was drugged, brutally raped, sodimized ,by a husband and wife. There's so much more but I can't share right now. The FL district attorney has asked me to sue them civil to get them to talk. They lawyered up right away and will not talk. Hoping and praying that they do not hurt anyone else!!! Law enforcement thinks they've done this before based on how and what all they did to me. This is not Cody Rodriguez but I am using his computer.
I'm horrified by the crime, angry he almost got out, but watching this I cannot help but notice how beautiful this young woman is. The heritage her mother was rightfully so proud of is present and shining through Chantelle. I have a baby girl now, I know in my mamas heart she'd be so proud, how strong to be able to sit here and relive etc to spread the message and uphold justice.
🙏♥️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🥂🇨🇦🌎
He was paroled October 2022. Im amazed out of 12 cases, this case was selected by the Innocence Project. 150k options, his case was chosen.
What's wrong with this family??
