• 0:11
  Speaker 1: they already did. I'm not making these people do these days.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Called donkey of the day, and it really put me
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: off guard. Damn Charlamagne, who got the Donkey of the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: day today?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Well, just hilarious donkey today for Monday, August eighteenth, goes
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: to a Fulton County judge named Henry Newkirk. I keep
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: telling y'all over and over that these judges be playing.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Okay when they sendenced people to life plus seventy years,
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: what the hell does that mean? Do I wake up
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: in prison in my next life? And when a judge
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: gives you two hundred years? At some point we have
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: to ask the judge, why are you playing with me?
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Just simply tell me I'm never coming home. Wu tang
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: is forever, and so is my prison sentence. And when
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: the judges do the month's thing, Oh my god, we
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: sentence you to six hundred months. You're thinking yourself six
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: hundred months. Start doing the math. That's fifty years, okay,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: fifty years? Stop playing with me. Judge, Well, I bring
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: to you today another example of a judge plan. See
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Alton Oliver was found not guilty in connection with the
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: killing of Fulton County Deputy James Thomas. Not guilty in
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the killing of a deputy. I haven't been following the case.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I hadn't even heard of the case until I saw
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: this news story. But you kill a police officer and
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: get found not guilty in America, I need to know
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: what type of lucky charms you hold it? Okay, you
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: must got the pink cards, yellow moons, arms, stars, and
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: green cloveres.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, Lord have mercy. Would you like to know what happened? Well?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Oliver was accused of shooting and killing Deputy Thomas while
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: he was off duty in in his personal car.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Oliver claimed self defense, alleging that Deputy James Thomas solicited
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: him for sex. Yes, Oliver testified that he was walking
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: home when Thomas drove up beside him three different times,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: leading to the alleged solicitation in shooting. Now, I imagine
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: if women shot and killed all the guys that try
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: to holler at them, you know that they didn't want
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: to be hollered at. Bye that's a discussion for another day.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: But Alton Olible was found not guilty and I don't
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: think the judge liked the decision too much because even
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: though he was found not guilty, the judge let his
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: inside thoughts slip out. What do you mean the judge
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: let his inside thought slip out. Let's go to channel
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: to a news for the report police.

  Speaker 3: and have already been.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: In the child's life for a bit.
• 4:28

  Speaker 3: not pregnant, even though your period has to come on
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: in two months and you clearly are pregnant. So why
• 4:35

  Speaker 3: to be, that so through a lot of other law
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: enforcement officials in Georgia. Okay, you need to relocate because

  Speaker 3: go into cardiac arrest right there and die.

  Speaker 3: especially in a court.

  Speaker 1: Words carry a lot of weight. Okay. One slip can
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: mean heartbreak, panic, or relief.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: So this is just yet another example of why we
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: have to choose all words carefully, especially when you're a
