- 1:19Speaker 2: who we lost. That was some of everything to some
- 1:23Speaker 2: of everyone.
- 1:23Speaker 5: The jury deliberating for four hours this afternoon, finding Justin
- 1:27Speaker 5: Johnson guilty on all charges in the murder of the
- 1:30Speaker 5: Memphis Rapper, a decision coming nearly three years after Dolph
- 1:34Speaker 5: was gutting down at a cookie shop. As a thirteenth
- 1:37Speaker 5: juror our firmed this verdict pass to the first degree murder.
- 1:41Speaker 5: I said that you to life in prison.
- 1:44Speaker 3: It's got to be a bittersweet, right because you know,
- 1:47Speaker 3: on one hand, you're glad justice is being serving, these
- 1:49Speaker 3: guys are getting life in prison, but yes, young Dolph
- 1:52Speaker 3: is never coming back, so it's got to be a bittersweet. Now,
- 1:55Speaker 3: Justin Johnson and this co defendant, the admitted gunman, Cornelius Smith,
- 1:59Speaker 3: fired shots into Makita's homemade butter cookies on Airways Boulevard.
- 2:03Speaker 3: During the trial, Cornelius testified that he and Justin Johnson
- 2:06Speaker 3: carried out what was supposed to be one hundred thousand
- 2:09Speaker 3: dollars hit on Young Dolph. Both gunmen were supposed to
- 2:12Speaker 3: receive forty thousand dollars each for the murder.
- 2:15Speaker 1: And then where was the other ten going? Lauren?
- 2:17Speaker 4: There was twenty thousand going to the goat. What's the
- 2:21Speaker 4: guy's nest with the twenty to ten ten ten? So
- 2:24Speaker 4: ten from Justin, ten from Cornelius was going to the
- 2:27Speaker 4: guy that set.
- 2:28Speaker 1: It up, Okay, but that didn't happen.
- 2:31Speaker 3: According to Cornelias Smith, they only ended up with eight
- 2:34Speaker 3: one hundred dallas. Let's go to Fox twenty six Houston
- 2:37Speaker 3: for the details please.
- 2:38Speaker 6: The trial is shooting death of rapper Young Golf in
- 2:41Speaker 6: Memphis began with a major bombshell Monday. Cornelia Smith confessed
- 2:45Speaker 6: in court, admitting to shooting the rapper, whose real name
- 2:49Speaker 6: was Adolph Thornton Junior, outside of Memphis cooking shop in
- 2:53Speaker 6: November twenty twenty one. Smith says he and Justin Johnson
- 2:57Speaker 6: were promised forty thousand dollars each to complete the job
- 3:01Speaker 6: by Dolph rival big joke. He says he only got
- 3:05Speaker 6: a fraction of that payout, only eight hundred dollars out
- 3:08Speaker 6: of the forty thousand promise.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Eight hundred dollars, you know.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Cornelia Smith admitted his role in killing Dolphin, said he
- 3:18Speaker 3: felt no emotions over it at the time because he
- 3:20Speaker 3: was addicted to drugs and was looking forward to collecting
- 3:23Speaker 3: his forty thousand dollars pay day, which of course he
- 3:25Speaker 3: never got, and prosecutors argued that the plan was for
- 3:28Speaker 3: Justin Johnson to secure a record deal for the murder.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Think about what we're talking about here, two black men
- 3:34Speaker 3: going to prison forever for killing well, for killing another
- 3:37Speaker 3: black man for not a damn thing. Yes, I said,
- 3:40Speaker 3: for not a damn thing, because they didn't have no
- 3:41Speaker 3: personal beef with Dolph. Dolf didn't do anything to them.
- 3:44Speaker 3: They were just hit him in for hire. This was
- 3:46Speaker 3: all business to them, and they were willing to crash
- 3:48Speaker 3: out and not only throw their life away for some
- 3:51Speaker 3: money and a potential record deal, but they were also
- 3:54Speaker 3: willing to take a life for some money and a
- 3:56Speaker 3: potential record deal. This is why people have to learn
- 3:59Speaker 3: to love themselves else. Your first, last, and best love
- 4:01Speaker 3: is self love. And if you don't have self love,
- 4:03Speaker 3: it is impossible for you to love someone else. How
- 4:05Speaker 3: could you see the value and another person's life if
- 4:08Speaker 3: you don't see no value in your own? And I
- 4:10Speaker 3: know someone out there is probably thinking, Uncle Charlotte, what
- 4:12Speaker 3: you mean Dolf got killed for nothing? Forty thousand dollars
- 4:16Speaker 3: in a record deal is something. Let me be the
- 4:18Speaker 3: first to tell you. If that's your mindset, calling the
- 4:20Speaker 3: breakfast club right now, give me your name and address
- 4:23Speaker 3: so I can tell law enforcement where you at so
- 4:25Speaker 3: they can come pick you up. Okay, they need to
- 4:28Speaker 3: come pick you up right now. No amount of money,
- 4:31Speaker 3: no record deal, is worth you throwing your life away
- 4:33Speaker 3: and taking a life. Okay, that's what Justin Johnson got.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Sent us to life forever, endlessly. All right, Justin Johnson,
- 4:42Speaker 3: you are never coming home. Do people not understand what
- 4:44Speaker 3: that means? When someone says you get in life, that
- 4:47Speaker 3: means it's over whatever hopes and dreams, whatever creature comforts
- 4:51Speaker 3: you had in the outside world. If you like women,
- 4:54Speaker 3: it's over done for Nieto and for what, As I
- 4:58Speaker 3: just said, absolutely, Look, I know times it's hard out here,
- 5:01Speaker 3: but there's no amount of money worth my freedom not
- 5:04Speaker 3: to mention.
- 5:04Speaker 1: And I know some of y'all, like.
- 5:06Speaker 3: These brothers you know, are probably saying yourself what they
- 5:09Speaker 3: You know, I ain't got nothing to live for, they
- 5:11Speaker 3: ain't had nothing to live for. Well, let me ask
- 5:12Speaker 3: you a question. Isn't just living enough? Why do we
- 5:17Speaker 3: take for granted the blessing called life. Somebody woke up
- 5:21Speaker 3: there this morning and they didn't want to die because
- 5:23Speaker 3: they had plans today. So why don't we value just
- 5:25Speaker 3: being alive? Goes back to what I just said about
- 5:28Speaker 3: self love. If you simply valued being alive, if you
- 5:31Speaker 3: simply valued your life, if you simply value just taking
- 5:33Speaker 3: a breath, being able to breathe, then you would value
- 5:36Speaker 3: the lives of others. And nobody could offer you some
- 5:38Speaker 3: money or a record deal in exchange for taking the
- 5:42Speaker 3: life of someone else. Now I was looking at Shade
- 5:45Speaker 3: Room and I saw a post from the account of
- 5:47Speaker 3: Justin Johnson. I'm assuming, I'm assuming this is a real account. R.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Laura.
- 5:51Speaker 4: That's what it was being reported as I didn't report it,
- 5:52Speaker 4: so I thought it was I didn't go ahead.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Well, it says these n words taking criminal responsibility. I'm
- 5:59Speaker 3: taking screet response regardless. I'm forever the biggest. They can
- 6:03Speaker 3: throw away the keys before I ever eat the cheese.
- 6:06Speaker 1: That's so stupid.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Now, I don't speak fluent nigga like I used to,
- 6:11Speaker 3: but I understand the last part. Okay, he's saying they
- 6:13Speaker 3: can lock him away forever before he ever tells all right,
- 6:18Speaker 3: I don't know what he means when he says they
- 6:19Speaker 3: taking criminal responsibility.
- 6:21Speaker 1: I'm taking screet responsibility.
- 6:22Speaker 3: That sounds like one of those dumb ass street codes,
- 6:25Speaker 3: and I hate stupid as screet codes. You know how
- 6:27Speaker 3: in video games we would enter a cold and it
- 6:29Speaker 3: would take us to another level or.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Give us more lives.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Well, screet codes are the opposite of video game colds.
- 6:35Speaker 3: They don't take you to any higher levels, and you
- 6:37Speaker 3: only get one man in this game called life anyway.
- 6:39Speaker 3: So the screet code be like up, up, down, down, left, right,
- 6:41Speaker 3: select start, dumbnygro you going to prison forever, are probably
- 6:44Speaker 3: gonna die, and guess what you earned it?
- 6:46Speaker 1: Okay, your uncle Sharlat tells you all the time.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Life is about choices, the decisions, we make shape our lives.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Destiny is not a matter of chance, It's a matter
- 6:54Speaker 3: of choice. Guys like Justin Johnson and Cornelia Smith chose
- 6:58Speaker 3: the direction of their lives simply by making a bad choice.
- 7:02Speaker 3: And it saddens me that we live in an era
- 7:03Speaker 3: with so much information, access to so many resources. We
- 7:07Speaker 3: have numerous examples of where certain choices lead us, and
- 7:10Speaker 3: yet we have brothers like Justin Johnson and Cornelia Smith
- 7:13Speaker 3: who are still choosing to do the wrong thing and
- 7:17Speaker 3: for absolutely nothing. Please let rimy ma give Justin Johnson
- 7:21Speaker 3: the biggest he hall.
- 7:22Speaker 5: He ha, he ha, you stupid mother?
- 7:25Speaker 1: Are you dumb?
- 7:28Speaker 3: And it feels like these should be teachable moments, but
- 7:32Speaker 3: I don't know if people are actually learning because we
- 7:35Speaker 3: always find ourselves right back here, yes, right.
- 7:39Speaker 4: I just don't understand why post the statement like, if
- 7:41Speaker 4: you're gonna stand on that, you want to, you know
- 7:42Speaker 4: what I mean, take your time, take it, be quiet
- 7:44Speaker 4: and take it like, but why post that? There's people
- 7:46Speaker 4: hurting behind that?
- 7:47Speaker 3: And I'm gonna tell you something else. Slutor my man
- 7:49Speaker 3: Shaka Sinh call Man shakasinh calls is a good friend
- 7:52Speaker 3: of mine, great brother. Uh he posted Under the post
- 7:56Speaker 3: that the young man posted, he said, as someone who
- 7:58Speaker 3: served nineteen years, I can say those sentiments will vanish
- 8:02Speaker 3: within a couple of days. Reality will set in and
- 8:04Speaker 3: he is going to be in for a sad awakening.
- 8:07Speaker 3: I have never, and I mean never met someone in
- 8:09Speaker 3: prison who was happy to be there. I have never
- 8:11Speaker 3: met someone who killed someone that doesn't wish they could
- 8:14Speaker 3: take that thirty seconds back. If you are living that
- 8:16Speaker 3: street life, I hope you take this moment to realize
- 8:18Speaker 3: how you are being used. When that prison number is
- 8:21Speaker 3: handed out, it won't be given to your mommy, your homies,
- 8:23Speaker 3: or whoever you thought was riding with you. Once that
- 8:26Speaker 3: door slams shut, it's all on you from there. Shaka
