Kept in Prison by the dirty pigs ……..
The new kingpin in was making $30 a month
8 kilos added up to 650g of coke? Mmmm somebody got some explaining to do
“Grrr trrrtt”
I would sue them for a billion
The most guilty party of all of this is the FBI. Locking people up for the same thing they're not only doing but perpetuating.
Manslaughter doesn’t even get you 30 years.
Let that man go
I've heard of serial rapists get out in under a decade and this guy was in there for like 30 years, ridiculous
I believe him 100%. Detroit probably most corrupt city in America.
The actual drug lord got 14 years
"Snitches get stitches" isn't just from the people they snitch on
Exploited by the govt./FBI. He shouldn’t have helped them in the first place, they’re all dirty and should never be trusted.
He’s free…but it shows how the government even beyond mayors had a huge hand in feeding black neighborhoods across America crack cocaine. Set us back 2/3 generations but we will rise and overcome all obstacles they put in our front lawns
Hopefully he sued
Seems like a lot of missing pieces in this story
Wow the system payed Rick bad
The fact the fbi used a minor is disgusting his whole case should be dismissed
We just gonna gloss over the fact that Cathy Volse Curry was a grown woman banging a 15 year old boy? I mean…good for him..but still.
So nothing happened to the FBI or the specific people who organized this whole situation with a minor? Fuck how long ago it was, if it were some random people who used that kid they would be prosecuted today for what they did fuck this country..I will blow it up
Only in USA
Excuses,Rat mf made by law,child exploited then,
Start playing victim to the situation he put him self in,
It's a mixed bag of shit and problems in problems.
I mean… he was in fact a drug dealer, no one's disputing that.
0:45 easy, those pricks didn’t want to get him in trouble
Paid illegal snitch with a price of your life in prison
Who carries EXACTLY the amount of drugs on them to be convicted of a life sentence? lol
Setup? Yeah, I'd say so.
I hope he wins his lawsuit! They used this boy as an asset and disposed of him like his life wasn’t at risk only to give him life in prison form some drugs that were PLANTED. Detroit you are crooked and that prosecutor bitch made this situation worst by fighting against him.
What happened to his dad?
Free him
first they exploited him then incarcerated him .. ha .. sounds like america
This is when Chris Hansen was normal and legit lol
Is that what the movie call he doesn’t look like the kid
Boy did what they wanted him to do
Tells on a drug lord so he can try to become one his self lol
Lame
Found a box containing 8 kilos of cocaine.. that added up to 650 grams… um what?
Eminem sent me here.
He got out in 2020.
He play both sides of the game and damnn they give him Life sentences
Wonder what would ppl be saying if white boy rick was a black boy name Rick
Damn InspectorTodd….
@4:06 "Eventually they found a box containing 8 kilos of cocaine, that added up to 650 grams of coke" Well actually… 8 Kilograms equals 8000 grams, not 650. The 650 grams was the life sentence statute at the time. So that was 12 times more than the limit. Regardless though, the whole case is just so messed up. The corruption is just awful and life destroying.
Summary for this hole thing: white boy goes to jail for helping the FBI
