@WorldGoneMad1312 Sorry for your loss I've lost family and friends to violence too unfortunately. I know people who are coming out after years and some looking at years. Its not cool. Teenagers don't understand consequences they feel untouchable. The brain is not fully developed, especially in males, until 25 most recent studies show. This is because the brain's frontal lobe, especially the prefrontal cortex, isn't fully mature until around age 25. The development of the pre-frontal cortex of the frontal lobe allows us to process the pros and cons of a decision before it is made. Look into it more it's science. No bias. It's not beliefs or faith like religion it's proof. Prove God or gods exist ill wait all day long because you would be the 1 out of 8 billion plus people on earth to do that. That's money for you.

Are you able to be Pen Pals with him? Or where would you write too him? I Truly feel So Bad for him, I could be his mother im Almost 67. I like too write, do journaling, just saying I could Encourage him, give positive Words. Prayer works this kid should be OUT. THIS CASE SOUNDS TRICKY for a 15 year old. I had a Brother Brutally Murdered in 1986 and he didn't even serve 3 years In prison they called it self defend, but my Brother was stabbed 37 times, he plucked his fingernails off, he carved a Rose tatoo that "Read Mother" off his arm and he also weighed 125 pounds more then my Brother. My Brother weighed 116 lbs. Plus he also had a public defender who years after ended up in Prison but its Self defensa? This person here should have and deserve another chance in Life. This is So SAD😢😢😢😢😢I PRAY in the Mighty Name of Jesus he Gets another chance. Just the way he Speaks he even sounds very were Educated for being in from the age of 15. 😢😢😢😢The Courts System Sucks we have lived the Nightmare we know how you feel My Brother but Pray to Our God too Guide You in this time. Plus the Bible says Forgive 70 x 70 and if you feel it in your Heart❤ to forgive that Family I would. Well sorry didn't mean to write a book but someone NEEDS TOO HELP HIM. God Bless You Brother. Beautiful Testimony of your Life NOW that you Truly Sound Remorseful. I Wish you the Best

Anthony, I feel you have truly changed. If I was your mum I would be proud of the man you have become.

His uncle that was murdered was murdered with my uncle, Jason Janek. And then guys responsible for killing them never were arrested or anything. They got away with it.

@user-ss-9fl9pt7u -Thank you for watching. Juvenile brain research supports your comment about why kids sometimes do terrible things when they're young that they would never do as mature adults. It doesn't excuse their behavior, but it gives us a window into how such a horrible thing can happen. Our goal is to help open eyes to the consequences of these actions. Many kids and adults have no idea that children can be sentenced to long prison terms. Hopefully stories like Anthony's can help prevent others from going through all the pain that family and friends endure when awful things like this happen.

My prayers go up for Anthony. Very proud of his accomplishment as a barber and making his life better.

@zoelefevre3974 - Thank you for watching and asking that question. Over the past 25 years of filming interviews with incarcerated youth, the one thing that kids tell us over and over again is how easy it is for them to get a gun. When we ask them WHY they want a gun when they're so young, many of them tell us it's a must in their neighborhood -- that everyone in the neighborhood knows if you *don't* have a gun, and that means being targeted for crime. It's a vicious cycle, sadly. Thank you again for watching and taking the time to comment.

@kasie680 - you bring up a good point -- the ability to stay positive when there seems to be nothing to be positive about. We're always interested to speak with young people like Anthony who receive extremely long sentences and find out how they remain positive behind bars. Some prisoners simply say, "I have a life sentence; why be good when I might not ever get out anyway?" But many others take the other path. From our experience filming inside these places over the past 25 years, a lot seems to be contingent upon who a young person decides to hang around once inside. If they seek out the fellow inmates who participate in programs, seek to educate themselves while inside, keep in touch with family members, etc., their chances of finding positivity definitely increases. It also helps if they are seeking sentence modifications from the courts. Behavior while behind bars *does* make a difference. Anthony has chosen to do everything he can to prove he's not the same 14-year old who committed a horrendous crime and caused so much pain. It's not easy in the place he's been, but we commend him for doing his best to atone for what he did. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

im glad he is doing fine and he has good relationship with his fellow immates, i feel for the comments tho, let us focus on the reality that those are criminals and the good old kiddo is actually a murderer (directly or by asociation regardless a murderer) stop normalizing second chances to hienas like them. we should close the attitude gaps that allow criminal walk scott free after evil crimes just because a pathethic appeal to feelings and social perception...

My brother was shot to death and his friend was also shot. The guy got 18 years in prison. He was 17 or 18 when he did that crime. I hated that guy for years but now 11 years later, I don’t. He will get out and that is that. I believe something will give one day and Anthony will be free again. There are so many loop holes in the system for juveniles. Eventually he’ll get out if he stays in court.

@robm3016 - very, very sorry to hear about your brother. That's a heavy thing to carry as a family member and the pain never goes away. The strength you show by letting go of your hate is the most healing thing you can probably do for yourself. We've been with several victim's family members who have told us similar things -- that they carried around so much hate for so many years that it nearly destroyed them, and then they decided it was time to find another way to live and honor their loved one. It's an incredibly powerful thing to witness. But we get it. How do you not hate someone for taking so much away? That's a question and a process that only all of you who have been through such tragedies can truly understand. We've also talked to young kids like Anthony who were the perpetrators of the crime and they live in forever apology for what they did. They desperately want to show they can give back to society and try and make a difference, rather than having taxpayers pay for their decades of incarceration where no one really wins. As you say, they WILL get out some day (the vast majority of prisoners do). We need to think seriously about what is offered in prison to better a person before they return to society--especially when it involves young people--not solely about punishment just for punishment sake. We greatly appreciate you sharing your own story. Thank you for that.

It depends on the state laws, judge, police report, lawyers, and criminal history of the defendant in some ways i think it would be more fair for a robot to determine the sentence because we see people getting no time to decades for the same crime.

Its cruel and unusual punishment under the constitution to sentence a 14 teen year to a 60-year prison term. He deserves a modified sentence. The main problem with our laws is that it gives no hope. Yes, he did an unthinkable act, but he was 14 years old. What does he know at 14?

Also the barber shop is one of the worst area to work in, because the guards have been stabbed with scissors, shaving equipment ect. One of them just changed his hours to night time. He doesn’t want to babysit a bunch of evil adults. He goes in they have rec time, eat , go to their cells. Not a fun job at all!
