I guess it was because he was classed as a habitual offender, but that sentence for stealing diapers and milk while leaving his knife in his pocket exceeds any standard of reasonability. Louisiana living up to its reputation.
Heartbreaking, if he committed the same crime in Australia he wouldn't see the inside of a jail. It would be community service hours and he wouldn't be separated from his family, working and paying tax instead of costing taxpayers funds.
It is a shame that the justice system is unjust. The people we elect and believe in also fail. The group of people that is speaking on Mr. Causey’s behalf is so positive and supportive. Good Luck Mr. C!!
Thank you Mandoo for putting this out there. I know too many people this has happened to and it’s just ridiculous! We All have to answer to our sins one day. I feel for those playing God-and an unfair one at that!
This was one of my favorite, I think 20 year's was a lot! But he has made the best of his time.. In my heart I feel he is a good man! I wish him all the best. Thanks Mandoo💙
This one had me on the edge of my seat. He really did prepare for the session. In the UK parole hearings are all confidential so we never get to see the impact or results. Thank you so much for uploading these videos and I am about half way through all the others. lol
I'm glad to see the outcome of this hearing .. it seems ridiculous that he spent so much time in prison for stealing diapers and milk. It makes you wonder why, and how, they can justify this type of sentence when there are many other people committing horrible crimes that are much more deserving of a sentence like this, and yet time and time again they get away with just a slap on the wrist. I have always been of the opinion that a punishment should fit the crime. I think this gentleman served his time more than enough, and I wish him all the success going forward.
i noticed that a lot of these programs that are offered are either getting cut short or changed to something else before the term ends, leaving the inmates high and dry. especially with covid affecting things.
I see numerous prison officials who would not be needed if non violent offenders were released. More needs to be done to separate the poor and inadequately educated from the truly dangerous offenders.......
Angels abound!!!!! Congratulations sir! Mandoo, thus case was just awful and I bet if he was white he would have had a much lower sentence! Glad he has proved himself in prison! He deserves a good life!💥💥💥💫💞
I'm so glad that cases like this get reviewed. Time was, he would have been left there to serve his term. I wonder how many other cases like this there are in the system.
He was a habitual felon probably got assistance to pay for food and everything. He had a pocket knife. He knew he couldn't and shouldn't have had a knife at all. I hope he stays straight. I am sick of all this jail house religion. Of course he hasn't done drugs he hasn't been able to get any. I do think it's ridiculous that people who abuse children get less sentences.
Don’t assume that he’s not done drugs just because he’s locked up. Many former inmates will tell you that it’s easier to get drugs inside than it is out on the streets. The drug cartels run their business from and through the prisons.
@@shebaspurling605 I hate to tell you, it's easier to obtain all types of drugs in prison moreso that out! You wouldn't believe the access they have to drugs? 💜🐅💛🐅💜
I like this guy. Threatening her with a knife is not good, but he paid for that in the amount of life he lost in just hearing his sentence. He’s an habitual, but non violent offender. I wish for someone like that there was treatment, inpatient, but not prison. This had a very nice ending.
Wow. People who rape & kill barely get this time. Did they not even consider WHAT it was he stole and WHY a person would need to steal those necessities… Happy to see he is getting a second chance - more importantly, a chance to be there for his girls.
This is freaking unbelievable oh wow what the heck is wrong with the people that took this man’s life away from him like this for something so petty it’s ridiculous !!!
This man has been consistent w rehabilitation. He didn’t murder. He was failed from birth. Give him a chance. Pedos get less time then he did. No meth, guns. He wasn’t at his lowest. Give him a chance. Why bother to rehabilitate when the parole board doesn’t run on the same example with every case. They’ve let out way worse and they’re back in. Best wishes to this survivor and man❤
Unfortunately these older cases involve a level of racism in the penalties handed down as well as these poor folks being forced to plead guilty to things they may not have done due to fear. I think it still happens today but not as much as 20 plus years ago cases we are seeing on here. Just my opinion.
To This one actually brought a tear, seeing several recently before parole board, convicted of brutal murders,a stabbing that 17 yr old was in shower while father stabbed mother 19 times, had 19 1/2 yrs, granted first offense LEGALY ACCOUNTABLE for, and was tearfully testified to by daughterthat he had terrorized mother for years with death threats, and, since she was divorcing, finally. He was to be released 5-6 months later, may '23, and another where left man in closet, 8 yr old son had to testify about witnessing stabbing, just under 20 yrs served. This man undoubtedly lead a tough life, having left school so early to help father work. Didn't even pull knife out, diapers and milk. Here, people take 24 oz beer from Walmart, they are told not to come back till next day, not being first offense, having 2 dui's, other times regularly going in stores walking out w/ things. She got boyfriend to, both drunk, must say, get half gallon of milk, he pushed grocery cart with just that in it out front door of store that is right by cash registers. Police followed, arrested her for having been seen drinking it, overnight jail, court date, time served. Texas.
This Truly is an injustice when we have people out here killing people while drinking and they get away on a work release program with a bracelet! I know he was a repeat offender, however he Never took a weapon out on anyone! 💜🐅💛🐅💜
His sentence was more to do with the habitual offender charge. Indiana had a three strikes your out, law. Your 3rd charge , the wanted to give you life. 🤦Crazy.
Are y’all serious. You gave this man life for trying to do for his family. He didn’t probably have the money. He wasn’t on any hard drugs, he should have been out along long time ago!!!
It was like that back in the day,if you're an able body you had to work. Especially if you had a large family. You had to help them survive. I myself was a boxboy for a large warehouse the minimum wage was 3.25 dollar per hour.
I hired a company to do my house, it wasn't a real company, it was ran by a convicted felon. They ripped my house apart, stole my money, furniture, tv, tools, building materials, and yard equipment. I had lost my family and starting over, so I decided I'd get a house then foster/adopt but they messed it up. I went to police but since it took six months for them to get to me, I didn't recover anything. My homeowner's rejected my police report, the DA refused to do anything, including making them return any of my belongings. They threw the book at this man over baby products but I get ignored after I'd already lost my children and husband then they allowed the criminals just rob me blind.
The most commonly stolen items are things like diapers, baby food, detergent. But they are not taken from necessity, they are just innocuous and easily transferable. Pop someone's trunk and they have normal household stuff without a receipt, it's not prosecutable.. But it's universally saleable. You can buy a new hellcat just by selling stolen diapers in the hood.
If he didn't use a weapon then why the armed robbery charge? With that sentence, one would expect someone died or was maimed for life...Murderer's get out in 20 years oftentimes..
I feel for the uncle. Never fails you need to speak eloquently and you get all phlemmy. Happens to me all the time. So annoying. Also, he is one of the few I have seen that I immediately felt needed to be released on parole.
@@growmiezhomiez8760 dude, back off, how is my comment anything but calling out that he got a frog in his throat. No disrespect but you just inciting anger in people for simple comments. I said nothing about color, age, class, or anything. Just said the guy up for parole needed to be granted.
Really? The judge who imposed a life sentence for stealing diapers and milk is a criminal and a horrible person. If it was a jury trial, those people are horrible. There's no way that crime deserve a life sentence. This is just disgusting...American justice at its best, this is the special justice for Black men. The victim here is that poor man who was railroaded by the injustice system. Gross!
Dropping out of school at 8th grade led to very poor choices... drug use, habitual criminal behavior, infidelity in marriage and child out of wedlock, stealing diapers and milk etc... 🤔
Good God🤦♂️ what the hell is this?????? 20 years for stealing diapers and milk🙄 We have people stealing TVs, Tools, etc from stores nowadays and they are given suspended sentences!!
I am tired of people distorting the facts by claiming somebody got a "life sentence for some minor crime." The fact is that they received a life sentence for a long life of criminal behavior. Just 8% of Americans have at least one felony conviction. You have to work at it pretty hard to get three felony convictions. And we all know that behind every conviction are many crimes that were never prosecuted. It is sad that some people choose a life of crime, but they cannot be allowed to victimize the vast majority of law-abiding citizens in perpetuity.
Sir, we don't need you to do what you got to do to support your children😳 It ends up being not in your favor🥴 He has been in jail for how long and can't finish anything. The lady next to him says he has numerous classes under his belt🤔 Is he shiftless❓️😳family now has to take care of a grownasz man Petty crime. Let him go Þed0philes get less time
Your title here….is inappropriate. He committed armed robbery. Doesn’t matter what weapon he used. He blames alcohol and marijuana. He hasn’t finished anything he started. Yet, they let him out. Unbelievable the title you wrote. I’m going to unsubscribe to your channel. These hearings are ridiculous.
He deserve his punishment it will make him a better person. That's the only thing that prevent him from self destruct. It's not one two, three , or four times he was doing it.
I like how yahl be lying not telling the whole story making it seem like he got a life sentence for stealing milk and diapers. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt not to be a liar so I’ll watch it. So I’m going to see a man steal something and get sentenced to life and no other factors were involved well let’s see if you lied.
Although it was a harsh sentence it probably did more good than harm. You never know what he was capable of! He could have ended up killing someone. Wish him well!
Not exactly sure about the "2nd class offender" designation. But from what I have found, repeat offenders in Louisiana get the following: "The person shall be imprisoned for not less than 20 years." I have no idea what else he may have done but first of all it should be considered that harsh sentencing is usually a result of excessive criminal activity. Consequently, the powers that be (politicians) respond to the tax payers justified complaints by enacting harsh sentences for first offenders in general and repeat offenders in particular! Before we sit around contemplating on the possible injustice of his sentence, perhaps we need to examine any past criminal activity he may have been engaged in. Does Louisiana have something similar to: three strikes and you're out," legislation? Is he a repeat offender with felonies? He, at one time, seemed quite casual in his attitudes. I need something so I'll just steal it seems to have been his attitude at one time! It is a reasonable assumption that this particular theft may not have been his first rodeo! Thieves are a blight on society! People like the average everyday working person ultimately have to pay for the cost of a thief. The cost of their thievery gets passed on to the working person who doesn't steal by way of higher prices for goods! If the business that is being stolen from has to add security measures the added cost of security gets passed on to the honest consumer who isn't a thief. Any business located in a high crime area inevitably will have higher insurance costs which will be passed on to the citizens who frequent the business and are paying customers! At the end of the day, more information is needed so that our judgements or comments are based upon factual reference rather than the emotionalism of unfairness in sentencing!
And what you have to understand is that murderers get less time than that. If he was white he would gave never gotten that sentence! These are the disparities we speak of in the so called justice system when you have a darker skin tone. Utterly ridiculous. Nowadays people are walking right out of Walmart with 70 inch TVs and no one is stopping them.
The punishment did not fit the crime. People have gotten lesser sentences for murder. He got 50 years! Unjust justice system.
It's always the poorest states in the Union that are so assbackwards.
I guess it was because he was classed as a habitual offender, but that sentence for stealing diapers and milk while leaving his knife in his pocket exceeds any standard of reasonability. Louisiana living up to its reputation.
Thats the truth!
AMEN TO THAT! 💜🐅💛🐅💜
He robbed a store...he didn't just steal diapers and milk.
@@awkwardautistic ok thanks 🙄
@@awkwardautisticand you think that deserves a life sentence murderers get less time
What kind of justice system is this? Insane
When I was a kid there was a man that kidnapped a teenager, raped her, dragged her behind his pickup truck and set her on fire. He got 20 years.
That's sick. Judge needs to be called out.
If the crime involves stolen property, there's usually a stiffer sentence. But for a crime on a other human being - not so much.
I'm addicted to this channel!
Injustice if I've ever heard of it. I wish him the best and I'd bet he'll make it. Thanks for putting this on.

Heartbreaking, if he committed the same crime in Australia he wouldn't see the inside of a jail. It would be community service hours and he wouldn't be separated from his family, working and paying tax instead of costing taxpayers funds.
He likely has a long record. This isn't his first offense. And he robbed the store... didn't just steal a few things.
Tr😅 😮lm

Exactly just watched one if these involving a father s.a his child he got 12yrs or sumthing like wtf
It's probably because of all the rest of his crimes
Louisiana is a swamp. Many times the punishments and crimes don't match.
Since he was 8, all he knew was a life of hustling.
These sentencing dates are crazy

cant believe he got 50 years and he didnt even produce a physical weapon. These Judges need retraining. so pleased he got out.
