Accused of murder. Beat the case. Found innocent. Self defense.
Back when I was young and dumb and running with an infamous Crip set in L.A. These two brothers from another infamous Mexican gang wanted revenge for a fist fight we had weeks earlier. Basically, they caught me slippin. Tried to jump me at a swap meet and I beat the shit out of both of them dolo. One of the brothers fell and cracked his skull and died a few days later. I got arrested. Thrown in the infamous 4800 gang module in LA even though I was clearly underage. My lawyer got me outta that module and moved to a youth camp after 3 days but the O.G.'s kept me safe while I was there.
I actually was losing the trial and was just about to cop to a plea when a Mexican eye witness came out of nowhere and testified that the Mexican brothers started the fight and I was just defending myself. Scary Hours.
Anyway, the whole ordeal was a rude eye opener and it taught me a life lesson about who I was running with and gangs are a waste of life.
