Hey Breakdown Crew! We've been rocking together now for over 4 years and have gotten SO MUCH good done together. Today is one of those days where I need each of us to show up, OK? Have you heard the name LaKeith Smith? When he was just a 15 year old boy, police shot and killed his best friend, but prosecutors then went and charged LaKeith, who they openly admit was unarmed and non-violent, with his murder. It's an abomination. I already hate the felony murder rule, but I have NEVER seen it applied in this outrageous fashion. LaKeith was then sentenced to nearly 70 years in prison after police shot and killed his friend. And I have promised his dear mother, Tina, that we would raise enough money for her to take off of work for the next year so that she can fight full time to get her son free. Please, go now to my Instagram page, and CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO to chip in. We're already past 50% of the goal but predict we need 1,800 more donors to cross the finish line. Let's do this!

In 2015, a police officer shot and killed LaKeith Smith's friend, A'Donte Washington, during a burglary gone wrong. But years later, LaKeith is the one behind bars for murder. LaKeith was originally given a sentence of 65-years, after beingc onvicted of burglary, theft, and something called felony murder. In certain criminal cases, the felony murder rule allows a person to be charged with murder even if they're not the one who did the killing. Experts say it's a legal charge that disproportionately hurts young, Black and brown men. In a March resentencing hearing, a judge ruled that LaKeith's sentences could be served concurrently, thus reducing his overall time; but LaKeith's family and supporters were still left heartbroken, because even with this reduction, he's facing a 30-year sentence.Trymaine Lee spoke to LaKeith's mother, Tina Smith, about her family's continued fight for justice. And we talked to lawyer Leroy Maxwell and activist Daniel Forkkio, along with Andre Washington, the father of A'Donte Washington, about what true justice for his son would look like.

There's only one thing worse than a murderer. . . a child (murderer)! Is there specific psychology explaining why some kids commit the ultimate crime? Are they born evil? Or are they an unfortunate result of their environment mixed with bad timing or opportunity? This week we explore the horrors committed by some children and some of the horrors committed against the children by the current justice system.
