Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]who going to raise them? Is your homeboy going to start taking your girlfriend?

[00:00:05]Is your mother going to be sick?

[00:00:08]It's a whole lot. I don't have that opportunity. I've got my grandkids that I had to raise as a result of that.

[00:00:16]But the question you got, what change in your life that made you so want to take another mad life?

[00:00:24]Cuz you're only guaranteed revenge if you have the kingdom.

[00:00:29]So for you to be in a position to influence your child, your nephew, your cousin, your friends to come and join and be like me, you should take out the time and say don't.

[00:00:45]Might be fun for a minute. $5,000 ain't nothing.

[00:00:50]That's the soal fee among three $1,500.

[00:00:54]It's not worth what your lawyer cost per hour.

[00:01:00]The bills that constantly continue that your family put aside the tax on money they trying to get you out with. It's not worth it. You had to get yourself out of this.

[00:01:11]Can you come out a better person? Will you survive as a better person? That's the question you got to ask yourself. I can't be mad at you because I got mad 5 years ago.

[00:01:21]When I left high school at 18, I was a venture by I caught a case fighting.

[00:01:29]I did the time with my hand. So I taught my kids how to defend themselves with their hands.

[00:01:37]And guess what?

[00:01:39]The friends that married to your relationship, June Savage, we like brothers today. And we had the worst fight in steel school history. They shut the whole school down.

[00:01:52]Now his mother is my mother. His brother is my brother and we brothers.

[00:01:59]You fight to be able to live another day.

[00:02:02]But you got to change yourself and want to be that person cuz you're the only one that can do this. Because if you are top, you can tell look if it's not benefit you for the greater good, I advise you not to do it. Consider yourself opportunity. You have an opportunity to have a life. My son don't. He lived his life.

[00:02:24]Young man and you understand. I understand that a preacher's child is buck wild than any other child. Why? Because they restricted for certain things. They act out. But you have an opportunity to stop the next man from making the same mistakes you have. Take that in consideration and treat yourself to be a better you. Will you be a positive person for your family and your friends?

[00:02:50]Thank you.

[00:02:58]>> Judge, I think there was a an agreement that the court the people's point of view was I think that on the record that would not go above 18 plus two and the people were asking for 18 plus2 that was reached. Um do I think based on the facts of the case and what really happened that you know he could be looking at more time certain under the guidelines he could be but I think um the family um I don't know if you can be satisfied based on losing their son but the family feels I believe that the justice has been served the three defendants now have pled and I think that this defendant in this case should go for 20 years hopefully you know he'll have a full life after that and he'll be a change person. That's what we all hope for.

[00:03:45]>> So, thank you, Judge.

[00:03:48]>> Thank you.

[00:03:48]>> All right, Mr. >> Uh, thank you, your honor. Your honor.

[00:03:52]Um, and just to echo Miss Ksky's uh sentiments regarding the the agreement that was reached with the court not to exceed 18 plus the two. Um, this was a day of trial plea. As the court's aware, there was a lot of moving parts that happened at that time. Um ultimately my client decided to resolve this matter by accepting that um respectfully we would just ask the court to follow that agreement. Thank you.

[00:04:20]>> Okay. Thank you Mr. Rod. Mr. W. Anything you wish to say to your behalf?

[00:04:24]>> No sir.

[00:04:27]>> Well uh the court uh one of the primary goals this court has is to try to make victims whole in these cases. uh the court cannot do that and uh I think that represents the gravity of the crime in this particular case because a human life which is immeasurable uh in terms of of impact uh has been lost and my condolences go to the family. I wish sincerely wish uh that I could make it right and in some way um make this time easier for you.

[00:05:04]I can't. Uh, but it go it's it Mr. Wyrick, you have to understand the gravity of your actions here, quite frankly, and I I don't know you very well. I only seen you in court. Um, but I trust my instincts and I trust what I can see and how people act.

[00:05:26]And uh I I don't necessarily know. I don't believe you have any remorse here and that's uh that's disturbing. I don't know where a human being what makes them get to a point where they uh don't value human life even value their own um to commit a murder is to take not only your life but somebody else's life uh and uh deprive other people of the the enrichment of that individual's life. I I don't understand that. I don't understand where where uh people can just blindly shoot at somebody else because they're at a rival gang and because they just happen to see him driving on the highway. I don't understand. Um I could understand it more if if this person had killed a family member of yours. Doesn't make that right. The law doesn't condone that. But it is incredibly difficult for me to wrap my head around simply just somebody else and saying, "You know what? We're just going to end that person's life or what? Being from a different neighborhood, having an argument on Facebook, you know, I I don't know. Only you know exactly what made you do this, but that's what it was about. You ended a person's life because of some argument.

[00:06:55]I I just don't understand that. Um, too many many too many young men and women in this community are killing each other for what?

[00:07:07]It's not romantic. It's not cool. You're not living in some movie where this is some kind of gang life. You're not in The Sopranos, okay? There aren't two sides. People are dying. People are getting hurt. People are getting killed.

[00:07:24]It's not some great unlively thing that you guys are doing out here.

[00:07:32]I don't get it. People are are dying.

[00:07:37]You killed somebody. You ended somebody's life. An immeasurable thing that we can't even measure. Human scientists can't even understand the complexity of the brain, much less the soul. And you ended it for what? You need to think about that. Why did I put myself in a position for for 20 years of my life is going to be spent incarcerated where everybody tells you your move, when to eat, when to sleep, when to go to the bathroom, what food you can eat. You're going to have no freedom. You're going to lose out on 20 years of anything you could have done because of what? You know, and and and this the victim's father, this is now the fourth time, you know, or third time, excuse me. Um, I'm still blown away by that. I mean, graciousness. He wants what's best for you. He's trying to give you some advice. And I see you looking at him like he's like he's on Mars. What he's trying to tell you is that look, you've thrown your life away for the next 20 years. And what you have is time. So, by God, go out there. If if anything you can do for this family and the person and the young man you killed, then I find out you grow not to go off to you grew up with this kid. I mean, why would you do that to someone who who you grew up together with?

[00:08:55]You know, you need to take this time to figure out what can I do to make this right. You never can. You're never going to be able to do that. But by God, you better go in there and you better make sure that you do something. And when you get out, you better find somebody who's your age when you're in your now, and go tell them, "This is where I was, and let me tell you why you shouldn't do this."

[00:09:19]Or you can choose to join a gang in prison. Plenty of them out there. You can you can do a lot of criminal activity in prison. Believe me, I get it every single day. When you get out, you'll be right back in. And I'll just keep seeing you. I'll still be here hopefully. And I'll just keep seeing you. It's up to you.

[00:09:41]It needs to end. It needs to stop. We had another shooting over the weekend at a prom party. My god, a prom party. What are we doing here? I mean, what are we doing here?

[00:09:56]Just It's just absolutely ridiculous.

[00:10:04]You know, I I trust Miss Ksky and I trust Mr. Roen House, but I got to tell you, and I'm going to stick to the agreement, but I'm going to tell you, 20 years doesn't seem like nearly enough for killing somebody. Not in this way.

[00:10:16]But I trust them that they their cases and they talk to the family and this is what the family wants. That's the only reason I'm doing this family sat here and said, you know what, we want this. I do it. I'd say, you know what, I don't care. That's my job to sit here and preside over trial.

[00:10:31]But I respect that and I respect the family want some closure to this horrible period of their life. It's that really is just beginning because we think we're going to have closure over this stuff. Believe me, I know they're not. They're going to have to do this.

[00:10:44]They're never going to get their family member back. You're going to still have contact with your family. You're going to still have contact with with your friends and family, your mom or dad or whoever is alive still. They can't have that contact. It just can't. Someday you're going to walk out. You're going to be a free man. Enjoy the world. And u your victim's never going to have it because of you. So I tell you what, you should be incredibly grateful for the graciousness of the family that this is all you're getting. Uh because a part of me still believes it's not what the law says, but part of me still sometimes believes that you take a life, you your life is gone. That's it.

[00:11:29]That feels like justice. Uh but I respect the work of the prosecute. I respect the work of the defense attorney coming to this agreement. will file that uh in count one felony firearm court's going to sentence you to two years uh Michigan Department of Corrections no more no less is credit for 463 days count two court sentence you to 18 years and 80 years Michigan Department of Corrections count one is consecutive to and preceding count two there is no credit on count two because of it consecutive nature there is count one there's a $68 state cost, $130 crime victim rights assessment. Count two is a $68 state cost, $450 court cost, $450 public defender fee.

[00:12:18]Uh, in this case, you do have a right to file application for leave to appeal your conviction and sentence. If you're financially able to retain an attorney, one will be appointed to a public expense. Questions lawyer must be made within the next 42 days. Mr. Weaver is made to a form that you must complete amateur court in that 42 days if you wish. the appointment of an attorney on appeal. Mr. Ro.

[00:12:38]>> Thank you, your honor. Your honor, my client has executed the that request and has filled out the form and I'm returning it to the court.

[00:12:44]>> Okay. Anything else, Missy?

[00:12:46]>> No. Thank you, honor.

[00:12:47]>> All right. We're journed. Is there any credit?

[00:12:49]>> Uh, just there's 463 on count one.

[00:12:57]>> We're All right. Is Mr. Harris here?

[00:13:22]>> All right.

[00:13:24]Wire.

[00:13:26]No. Let's go.

[00:13:27]>> Absolutely not.
