Her son broke my heart 😢 he was 18 months old and left with his mother’s brutalized body til the next day HOW HORRIFIC! He needs to die behind bars. He talked about a childhood game 13 times when in reality he r8ped and k*lied and woman with her baby in the house. An actual monster.
Sociopathic monster. He showed zero emotion.
The prosecutor broke my heart as well.
Seriously started crying when I heard that. Poor baby. Absolutely tragic. So sorry for this poor victim and her family.
Here's a fact. There are some people in society that will be better humans in prison than they ever will be in public. The structure fits their personalities and the temptations outside will always get the better of them. Simply put, there are some people that can't be in society, ever
Well said.
A stranger can cry about this crime but the man who did it cannot
It blows my mind that this animal was allowed to work off prison grounds. He should be in prison for life and stay there until death. He is a monster. I don’t care how many classes he had taken. That poor young woman never had a chance. Her poor baby crawling over her body horrifies me. Keep him where he is and keep him from the public.
💔
@@mandoo1396 had noone read his file? he’s a sex offender and I noticed he did his best with the kids and even the innercity children
So he sexually assaulted girls since he was a child. Gross.
I cringe to think of the community that tolerated this behavior towards young girls. Sick.
My father would have whooped our asses if we'd done stuff like that.
@@tippybeau40 the kids probably kept it a secret, fearing (the girls) that they would get into trouble. As a parent sometimes things go on that we are not aware of. I think it is hard to imagine that a young person can be evil. But I agree, there was real sickness and evil going on. And at the parole hearing. Those people who spoke on his behalf are somehow in his thrall. I might could have a cordial relationship with him, but I would never speak on his behalf.
@@lilolmecjI agree completely. I was utterly shocked by the trooper's eagerness to involve him in the lives of his children and grandchildren, especially considering his aggression towards women.
@@tippybeau40 I wonder if the parole hearing was the first time he ever heard the details of the crime.
I'm so happy this lady, Roxanne's friend stood up there telling about this was no "childhood game". Good for her.
Yes she was fantastic. My heart goes out to her. Traumatic to lose your friend and the brutal trauma she suffered. I can't imagine having to endure what she and the other little girls suffered from this disgusting sex offender.
So this "childhood game" he keeps referring to is he saying he and his friends would force themselves on the females around them?
@@heatherann1560I feel like that might be exactly what he’s saying 😳 Unfortunately, I know what he’s talking about. I am 2 years younger than my brother. When I was about 8 my parents would put my brother in charge of me when they were at work. This meant that I had to go and do whatever he did all day. We’d go to the pool with his friends and they thought it was “fun” to see who could catch me under water and put their finger inside me, under my swim suit. My brother didn’t really participate but he’d let his friends do this to me. There were other versions of this “game” depending on the situation. I never told because I was threatened by these boys. One of the boys was a little older and more aggressive at this “game”. I’m fairly certain that he’s become a sexual deviant at best, predator at worst as an adult. Fortunately we moved away a couple years later and I’ve never seen them again. But yeah, these “games” are disgusting.
@@heatherann1560 Yes, they're bullies.
@@heatherann15601:18:29 That's what it sounds like. Sick dog!!
The fact that he describes his crime like a childhood game that got out of control 44 years after the crime shows, he has zero self awareness and zero capacity for moral decency. The board got it right this match never leave prison.
This man has been in prison for over forty years and decides to take sex offender classes 2 months before his parole hearing?? 🤔 🧐 I’ve recently started binging Parole hearing and I find them absolutely fascinating. Watching these gives such a personal insight into the mind of the psychopathic mind of the monsters who commit the most heinous crimes. The most common theme I love noticed is that NONE of these men come in and willingly just admit to what they’ve done. They all say, “I need to take accountability for my actions,” but they do NOT actually take responsibility.
Only to try to make himself look good to the parole board probably told to do that by his attorney 🙄
The Warden said the Social Workers would not approve him for Sex Offender programs until 2 months ago. That’s when the Warden intervened & informed the SO program that he met the criteria.
I've started binge watching too. If they could take responsibility for their actions they probably wouldn't have been in prison for 20+ years. They do these programs and learn what to parrot but still have no idea what they're supposed to be doing. There's something missing from them and I'm glad so many don't get voted out.
Did you actually listen or just watch? Smh
@@jaleelhunter4260exactly
Shocking, another model prisoner sex offender with absolutely ZERO AWARENESS of his crime! How can anyone stand up for him?
Wow wow wow. This one is sick to the core. He worked at the governor's mansion and for the police after a crime like that. The son made the best statement. What if it was your daughter and grandchild?
Water seeks its own level.
He probably fit right in with the cops, most of them are psychopaths.
Louisiana needs to vote that governor out.
Those poor little girls having their pants pulled down so brutally. That is pure trauma. He knew the poor, young mother would be home alone. He lied today saying he thought the victim's brother would be home. Complete lie! The way that dear young mum died is horrifying and her poor little son seeing and hearing her prolonged agony is so terribly sad. His little body was covered in his mummy's blood left alone with a corpse. Never let this monster out.
sounds like Dexter's backstory
I absolutely hate how they cut off victim statements. I understand maybe if they go on for a ridiculous amount of time.. Just because they go a few minutes over the three minute rule, they shouldn't be cut off. Especially when i've heard them let the criminal go on and on and also the people who are supporting the prisoner.
That's not their only case for the day so they try to stick to a time line
Agreed. Preach it loudly.
Agreed, how about limit the people talking in support so the victims can have more time.
It's disrespectful.
Yes! Was just about to make the same comment, JUST LET THE MONSTER SPEAK!😂
Every adult at one of these camps should know when there's a prisoner working with them and why they were a prisoner. Finding out later would make me Furious knowing that I had my young children around him
100%. 😮
Agreed!
A good parent would never allow their children around an imprisoned convict no matter what the situation is...
I will never understand this board's weird desire to attribute everyone's criminal behavior on drugs/alcohol, as though the drugs took the inmate and not the other way around.
Exactly we all have done drugs,and been desperate but your deep core morals just wouldn't let me act like an animal, because I wasn't raised like one!Blaming things on weed, weed doesn't make u violent! 😅😅😅😅
Exactly like everyone that uses drugs are would be rapists and killers. It's like saying everyone with mental illness are dangerous perverts and murderers its extremely disheartening for people with mental health issues and in recovery of drug or alcohol abuse.
Thats what I dont understand there are many addicts who abuse drugs but they never grape and k1ll
@@LDrosophilaas a bartender, I can confirm that you’re correct. Drugs only magnify personality traits and loosen their inhibitions while suppressing critical thinking. Im sure there are many ped0s who are able to suppress their urges due to fear of punishment, but you can only do that so long. Drugs or not, they will eventually offend.
But we do need to acknowledge that drugs do increase the likelihood of criminal behavior if you’re naturally drawn to criminal behavior. I do think it’s wise for criminals to be advised and sometimes required to be sober.
But I think the over emphasis on substance abuse gives the perpetrators a scapegoat. It actually serves the board well to bring this up. The illusion of a scapegoat is an excellent way to gauge their seriousness, and how they view themselves. They view themselves as someone who does “horrible stuff when I’m on drugs,” not as someone who does horrible crimes because they are horrible people, with trauma and psychosis they need to heal. Abusers always think this way. That’s why they all say the same dumb things. I find it interesting that never say they will stay away from children and refuse to be around children. I’ve heard some say they plan to get out and teach children foreign languages, become ministers, live with a family member who has children, etc. Literally no self awareness and honestly frightening.
A rapist around kids?
😢 This case was worst one I have seen so far. Thanks for pointing out about the govenor who not only had this sick rapist murderer working in their manson but was offering him a job when he gets released. Since when does convicted murders get work release especially in mansions.
Water seeks its own level.
@olilumgbalu5653 That is one of the greatest comparison statements ever. God bless you and yours.
When liberals are in office.🤷🏻
@@AuntBee59 Yep. Absolutely correct
he hasn't been punished...he had a dream job...
Seeming that this is Louisiana I am getting a "good ole boy" vibe.🤔
Exactly, I am in bizarre world seeing this
This guy is a monster and I am glad the way the board voted.
He needs to die inside. Horrible enough if he'd done this to a total stranger. That he did it to his friend is unspeakable. He's had too easy a ride as it is.
He does well in prison. Keep him there !
The Audacity of this man and his foolish supporters is astounding and extremely dangerous. Shame on them all!
I don’t understand why he even has supporters at all.
This is the type of person that a life sentence was created for.
Preach!!!!!!! L
Childhood game my ass! You are so right blame everything but hiself.
This is the type of person the death penalty was created for.
we never played that game
U said it.
Seems like the three minute rule is more strictly enforced on the opposition witnesses than on the pro-parole witnesses.
I noticed that too
Life sentence = no parole! Come on, courts, u have to do better!
Life with the POSSIBILITY of parole is a sentence. How many court proceedings have you been a part of?
@@MissyM3 his sentence was life without parole. This is a commutation hearing to see if he can be eligible for parole. That’s what I got out of it.
Mr. Roche said his denial BEST !!!
Thank you Mandoo, that means a lot to me especially coming from YOU !!!!
Absolutely shocking - why is he allowed to have contact with children 😯😯😯 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 big red flags
💯
So why sentence someone to life without the possibility of parole when they let them go up for parole?
it's a great question
What an Absolute Insult to Roxannes Family & Friends to have to Endure this Bull$hit At ALL , Let Alone Over&Over Again!! It's a Travesty!! Let him Rot Without Torturing Her Family ANYMORE!
I concur! Total bs
Because it was part of his sentencing…..that there is a chance of parole.
I said the same thing … why did they allow him to be with kids !! & for the man to say I would be honored for him to watch my children is insane i screamed 😂
I get sick and tired of Mr. Maribell asking about marijuana & alcohol use. Someone that attacks a women with butter knives & forks, after attempting to rape her, leaving the body with her 18 month old son. This is a psychopath, a deviant man with more victims to come.
IKR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't think of anyone like him becoming remorseful. Either he doesn't know how to human or he doesn't care to. I get tired of the overemphasis on substances as well. I doubt substances are making him call SA and stabbing a "childhood game", refer to his crimes as "failing his friend" and "that tragic night". He looked unmoved by the victims except for possible anger.
I’m so glad you covered this case. I was screaming during this live. Absolute monster.
Unbelievable! He’s STILL lying about what he did and INTENDED to do when he went to this lady’s home. The part about her 18 months old son is horrifying! And the FOOLS who let this MONSTER look after their own children, should be turned over to Child Protective Services. Can you imagine what damage that can do to these children when they find out their parents WILLINGLY and KNOWINGLY left them in the care of a MONSTER!
He did the crime and he SHOULD have to do the time because the victims are serving a LIFE SENTENCE of horror, created by this man!
He should also be made to work in prison to pay the family as well for his horrid crimes. He needs to pay for therapy, funeral, ect for the rest of his life and in prison because we both know he should never see the light of day.
A evil person never takes responsibility to their wrong doing.
Monster indeed🤬🤬🤬
I wonder sometimes how anyone could sit there and say this person is a good person , after they have raped and killed someone. He needs to stay in jail and someone needs to be looked into.
Every last person that come up there and say this person is a good person even though the horrid crimes were commited.....like they try to distance what they did from the PREDATOR. It is truly insane. They need both a FBI background check yearly and a mental assessment monthly because they are not ok and would not muster that crap had it been the reverse.
Yeah, I understand your concern, but people change. This guy's been in prison for 40 years. Surely, he's NOT the same person.
BUT, that does not excuse what he did, that's not what I'm saying. He may be a better person now, and not the same when he was younger, before prison.
With all that said, he should still stay in prison till he dies, he can be a "better" person in prison.
Because people get different versions of a person.
@@wesleyalan9179exactly this. I honestly don’t really care if some people are truly remorseful, rehabilitated, and a non threat now that they have been successful in prison. He should absolutely be rewarded for good deeds and helping people in prison. Sometimes freedom is not something that can be earned back, he can be rewarded in prison and continue to help others not follow down his path.
Give the inmates a new fkin tv or a comfortable mattress or something if they have really changed. Putting the victim’s family through these things and putting the public at risk is ridiculous.
@@crystaloats8177
❤I'm happy to know that someone else understands me. Thank you for your response 🤟💯
OMG get him Mr. Marabella. This con is pathetic!! I pray 🙏🏻 you throw away the key to his cell and let him rot there!
He is a cockroach 🪳!! Her poor son!
Part of me felt bad because he looks old and your heart wants to think people can change. And then I think about my own mother- and how I’d feel if it had been her. I’d never ever ever want that man released. And that’s where I have to stand. The right decision was made. Prayers for her son… even at just 18 mos old… I simply can’t imagine
It's worth remembering, too, that sometimes, even if a person _has_ changed, they still deserve to be in prison. Changing doesn't negate the wrong they committed, and while changing is for _their_ benefit, incarceration is for the benefit of everyone else. (That doesn't mean it's not worth showing mercy now and then; just that it's not to be expected.)
F these monsters
@@jacksyoutubechannel4045 you’re absolutely right. And that’s a really good way of looking at it. All the good he’s done since then doesn’t change what he did that night! She and her family deserve what little justice they got when he was locked up. Thanks for the insight ❤️
I never for a moment felt bad for this dude. Monsters don't look like some Hollywood creation. This man is the thing hiding in the dark at night.
Charles Manson was old. He looked pitiful too. Be8ng Old doesn't automatically make people good. People are the same, just been around longer.
Wow, he had been a creeper from childhood☠️
He keeps talking about a "game" that's not what it was, it was S.A. he's a predator, plain and simple, his urges will never go away, it's been proved over and over there's no cure for a deviant like him, glad the board voted against, thx for the upload mandoo.
💯🙏
Yeah as k8ds we played 'catch a girl:kiss a girl' , he played ' catch a girl: rape a girl'😮
Mandoo- Man you said it all today. love your comments and your thoughts. u r so passionate about what u do. I would vote for u for governor
❤️
He's got my vote!! Love his break down at the end!! Compassion mandoo has it!!
Typical narcissist psychopath. He minimizes what he did to her! She died and he says it was a childhood game
He also said "I failed my friend" and "that tragic night". I don't think this man knows how to human. Who does he think he's fooling?
To kill a mother infront of her child and then leave , demonstrates a total disregard for human life . The 18 month old child could have turned on the stove or walked out of the trailer . Image a child clinging to his mother's bloody dead body , not eating or sleeping until neighbors found him ! This inmate is a monster and he left too much out about his crime to the board . He needs to be assessed by a forensic psychologist and they should strongly reconsider if they will allow him back out on the streets. He behaves in prison , only because he has to .
one thing ive realized from watching these videos , why in the hell do they let these men , ones with SA crimes and violent crimes and they allow them to go work at boys camp around children little boys , why would they let them around kids and why would parents let their sons go around these criminals. that sickens me ...
This is exactly what prison was designed for,sickest person alive
@@edwardranno7119 They should be behind bars doing hard labor, they damn sure shouldn't be having a good time being a bartender at the Governor's mansion.
It is sickening that someone like him is allowed to leave the prison at all, unfortunately there are many just like him that are allowed to go out and work in public. I don't know who decided that convicted violent criminals should be allowed to leave the prison to work but that is insane.
The only ones that should be allowed to work outside the prison should be the ones who have not committed a violent crime.
Y’all may not let everyone into the Governor’s mansion but we know you let murders and rapist in there for sure. Let him go live with you.
This case is bizarre. Was he charged with sexual battery along with murder, because it seems the prison staff didn’t know in terms of programs, and a reasonable person would not allow violent offenders interact with vulnerable people. He seemed to really gloss over this “game”, and truly not acknowledge the horror of what he did. His supporters are very forgiving, I suppose it is easy to forget the nature of the crime if you are not her family.
The criminal looks strong, deceitful, and well-disposed to play the same "childhood game" as soon as he roams the streets again.
Ugggh I hate when they don’t let the victims talk. LET HER TAlk;; WE WANNA HEAR It dAMN!
The lady that was working at the Governors mansion. She was having a relationship with him
Good call. I bet he was doing her!
Why do you think that?
That’s a thought! It was too convenient for her to get off when the opposition spoke.
My thoughts exactly, she sang his praises and left.
Proud of you Mandoo! Someone does need to tell the governor. What is up with these people. And I almost stood up and applauded when you mentioned the State Trooper. We need to hold the children up in prayer. Who was the governor? Good Grief.
I'm not sure. 3 different governors served from 1992 to 2016 including a woman governor. It looks like it's possible he was the butler for her. Crazy
@@mandoo1396 it wasnt his best friends wife it was his bestfriend sister
Are you sure?
@@mandoo1396 yes he said it
I heard sister of his best friend. But it doesn't change the horrific things he did.
As a female....i would be so frightened to be in the same room with this man!!!!
This man is horrible....glad he got denied!
I cried for her son.
🙏
Dangerous man. A young angry man intensified with drugs. He's leaving out a big piece of the story. How horrific this story is.
I got to believe this man's parents had some money and some pull in the community
Hello everyone from Texas. I hope everyone had a good day
👋
Hey from texas
38:40 Roxanne trusted him too, and look where that got her. gtfoh Irene.
Zoom connection SUCKS. it is 2023 and people are still on hillbilly dial up
In my opinion, if he's so traumatized by his vile act that he can't let it flow out of his mouth after 44 long years, then he hasn't truly faced & accepted the crime he committed. NEVER, never should he walk free after what he did. Especially after watching this video. After 44 years he still doesn't get it. Maybe it has to do with low IQ, I don't know, but this entire hearing is INSANE!
Low IQ please don't make excuses
I agree with you 💯
There are people with low IQs that are not psychotic like him....he a special kind of special 😢
People that are in opposition of freeing these type of criminals. Should get at least 10 minutes.
The supporters were incredibly tone deaf. Acting like a great bartender redeemed him. How disgusting.
WTH kinda “game” is that!???
That poor little baby. My heart bleeds for him.
The Governors children need to be interviewed by CPS. The poor little boy that slept next to his deceased mothers body deserves so much better than to witness a beast be defended by a Governor and such is out and out demonic.
He only started sex offender treatment because he would be asked if he took it during the pardon/parole hearings
💯
It’s appalling but, sadly the prison system didn’t allow this much needed class to be taken until within months of the parole hearing. For sex offenders they should be required to take these classes from the get go and to take them repeatedly throughout their sentence!
WTF? The cop would be HONORED to have this creep meet his grandkids??
Exactly. Nuts
He shows NO Remorse when he son is speaking or anyone else. I have seen on this channel, once in awhile somebody that is truly sorry. But this is not one of them.
He looked indifferent, possibly simmering, during impact statements. He still downplays what he's done. I don't think he knows how to human.
WTF wtf wtf
Excellently said.
W
T
F
Just when I thought I couldn’t be more shocked!
A danger to society and public safety and yet he was a staff member at a children's camp!!! Wtf
Good job PB!! Let him ROT in prison for the rest of his life! ⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️
It's alarming how many people can stand up for this guy and tell you how great he is. Woman sitting beside him.🤬🤬
He should be on the sex offender registry. "Not yet"...he's a serious threat and a predator that should never get out.
Who thinks this guy will change by next hearing?
Since he is doing so outstanding in prison, just leave him there!
Thank you Mandoo for educating the public. I can tell this one really got to you.💛
29 years as a LSP, you know he violated tons of peoples rights.
Or hopefully got to see what it felt like
How do these criminals sit there with zero emotion shown?! Sociopaths, every one. It’s sickening. 🤬
Her son absolutely broke my heart. I can’t imagine.
And to have the victims have to come back every time and relive their horror. He got life with no parole he should not get parole!
He looked indifferent to the victims, yet he also looked like he could be simmering.
40 years in prison and he is still full of lies and hate for women
I was thinking the same things!! The DA was AMAZING. I was thanking the lord we could hear them so clearly. It was so important to hear them. The guys is 100 percent POS Liar. Loved that he was called out for it. Were these people CLUELESS at the Governors Mansion. That poor Son. This was an unreal hearing. Thank you, love the channel.
That man ain't been in prison. That man been getting all the 🐈 he wants at the governor's mansion. I believe we saw one of them today at the hearing😏
Who? The chick that said he was her friend? The one that can't even look into the camera on zoom? Or the dimwitted attorney?
C'mon, the attorney is not dimwitted. She's doing her job. Some of my friends are attorneys. The student debt is astronomical. Don't look down on someone just for doing their job.
His "friend" has no such excuse.
@@golden50snomad52 Nooo lol not the attorney!🤣❤
Such a sad story . I really don’t believe the lies his supporters told or they are in denial . Thanks Mandoo. !
Totally a soulless monster
Let him keep thriving in prison.
Yup
Living with his parents and couldn't support his pregnant wife, but had money for drugs, alcohol, gas to be just driving around, and eating out?
Sounds like an irresponsible, addicted, murderer. Should he be out in society with everyone, else?
Thank-you Mandoo for all your hard work! I find it almost impossible to listen to his lies. I'm reading an article from the victim's family and Tim also suffered his whole life before he died. It's truly heartbreaking😢
Who is Tim
Tim is the husband of Roxanne
He shouldn’t have been anywhere near children.
I spent a lot of time at that age in the Psychic Wars (if you know what I mean). I got rejected by girls. Nobody got assaulted. None of them ended up stabbed to death.
Does he really think confessing to sexual battery, if not rape, _helps_ his case for parole? Seriously?
It appears he has convinced himself it was no big deal. In fact I think he never thought he really did anything wrong.
This is the craziest story I’ve ever heard. They made him sound like such a great person. I was starting to feel really good like a happy ending was going to happen. Then you tell me all this horrible stuff about butter, knives and forks, governors babysitting jobs, and bartending experiences and I’m horrified and absolutely confused but convinced now after watching the view these people are so much more cunning then I ever knew😢
He is where he needs to be incarcerated with the structure and oversight
Parole project just tryna get anyone they can or what? I don’t understand y this guy. He is a predator.. he should never bet let out for our safety….. wtf
They must be full of the most gullible idiots to put this guy up
They get $ for each ex con they take in. It's a thriving business/racket !
Sickening how they boast about all the good 'programs' they complete in prison, a controlled environment under constant supervision with no access to women. Let this guy out and left with his desires and provide access to society, things will change. There is zero rehabilitation for offenders like this. Life for a life. Rot in your cell.
I don't remember a hearing in which these programs helped.
I love this board keep this guy away from our society
Thrilled to see that in The Angola Parole Board System, they won’t let themselves be manipulated by a Governor!
Let him move in with the man who wants him but take the children out of the equation. Anyone who feels this way does not deserve to have children
This guy is very scary. He should not be free ever! EVER!!!!! That poor baby oh my god my heart just hurts for that man. DP was created for monsters like that.
I mean, this "childhood game" sounds a whole lot like serial sexual assault to me...
💯
I agree that Asst D.A., is an awesome, composed, man. I'd vote for him too! This pos and case really hit me hard too...that poor baby!! And he doesn't deserve to see the light of day...I agree with you in that too! Big hug as I see this also bothered you just as bad!❤️
❤️🩹
The assistant DA cried a bit which I appreciate.
I would like to know why the governor of Louisiana thinks its ethical to use incarcerated individuals as butlers and cooks. Inmates are supposed to be getting rehabilitated, not doing free labor at the governor's mansion.
Good grief…give them at least five minutes to vent! Never vote for that governor again if he is still there! Shame on them!
So disturbing. Being a good worker does nothing to negate his crime or show has learned anything. Being able to work is different than not being a risk to woman on outside. It’s apples & oranges!!
Mandoo thanks for bringing these cases to light...damn... someone at the gov. office is asleep at the wheel
🎯
Interesting that the system wanted him to go to AA / substance abuse counseling and one of his job functions at the Governor's mansion was serving as a bartender.
His @$$ needs to stay locked up! Did the black attorney who spoke in opposition of his release know the victim personally?? The son did very well speaking! I am so sorry that this happened to them!
I feel for her son. His father (the victim's husband) was also murdered. He was shot in the chest then his car was set on fire with him in it.
He lost both parents to murder.
OMG that horrible. Their poor son, both parents murdered.
Omg! I 😳😪😢 that's just so sad!💔
His supporters should be ashamed of themselves. Just sick.
Marty the Deputy DA was so sweet and his emotion is what we should see more from those that are charged with protecting our citizens. Thank you!
I feel that maybe these women supporting him are possibly attracted to him??. The LSP officer...wtf??
This monster infuriated me with his “childhood game” story
