- The state is closing death row at San Quentin and all condemned California inmates are moving to different prisons by the end of summer 2024.
Angela Womble was living in Richmond with her mom and 18-month-old son in July 1986. She remembers when two men with guns came to her home, demanding money. One of them was Willie Darnell Johnson.

What I got from this is basically if you want revenge, do it yourself. The justice system is a joke
This is why the crime rate are so high.
@@The.End.Begins24💯
Right & he’s now with the grandson. Tell Jr to handle business 🙄🙄
This is interesting. Her son is in prison for armed robbery while experiencing the same thing as a baby. His memory may not remember but his body does. It is a full circle moment.
Really! Then why is he a robber
Sometimes people who are preyed upon become predators themselves. No one wants feel like a victim not even a victim. It’s a bad cycle but how do you think a person turns bad bc they experience bad. Some people go the opposite route but that’s a blessing. Some people become severe drug users and just fall apart.
I thought about that and then they end up in the same prison. Crazy
Doesn't excuse anything. Same crimechis granny's killer committed against her was the same crime he committed to get to his demise of being incarcerated smh.
Great analysis, its crazy
Her son is serving 27 years for a robbery? That's an unfair sentence. There are convicted kllers who get significantly less time than that 🤯
He had a gun and letting him off easy wouldn't have taught him, or anyone else anything.
It was the use of the gun that made the robbery a first degree felony
I understand that a weapon was used, but it will never make sense that someone who actually takes a life can an usually gets less time than 27 yrs. Only way it makes sense to me is if he had a lot of priors, and was a repeat violent offender.
@ShantiForever- It probably wasn’t his first offense.
@@ShantiForever the difference is intent I guess, she was selfish but didn't intend to cause a death and he had a weapon and intentionally committed his crime. Were the two in the same jurisdiction?
We the People have been paying for this killer to be on death row for over 40 years. WHY?
Newsom is why
Because the government is beyond lazy, phone it in and go beyond half a$$ing it
Beyond ridiculous!!! Waste of taxpayer money
@@BadWordsAreMyLoveLanguage Riiiight, because Newsom's been in office for 40 whole years. 🤨
38 to be exact
Why do death row inmates need conveniences?
Can only speak for FL, but legally they aren’t sentenced to “life” , they are sentenced to “death”…. So while waiting to be killed they must be given “life perks” (tv, privileges, conveniences, etc)… in simple terms of course
So great Uncle Sam can continue to SA us taxpayers! 🤷♂️
@@carltonwalton9819 taxpayers barely pay for prisons..... Most are PRIVATELY OWNED
They don't
So that the prison guards don't become worse than the inmates by being expected to treat people with cruelty.
The boy has untreated trauma
No he was a baby
@@muhammadomer4674 that doesn't matter, pre verbal trauma affects you later on in life.
@@muhammadomer4674U can be traumatized by being informed of your trauma.
@@BigCrossVita but 30 years later.
@@muhammadomer4674 Just remember, every day he had to live with his Mom and see her scares and pain.
Hold on Y’all not gon act like y’all didn’t just hear her just say 27 years for arm robbery when a video I watched yesterday they gave a girl 10 years for killing someone because she was drinking and driving 😤😤
different states, different prosecutors, different judges and different times. not sharing he deserved it but it could be because he was a repeat offender so they gave him the maximium punishment for the robbery and the gun charge.
Why would you accuse them of "acting like they didn't just hear..." ??
@@SeekingGreetings man shut up 🤣🤣🤣
@@mo777- I didn’t think of that
I know that's crazy
The sons sentence is too long
Agree
I said the same thing
For real wth???? In my head I'm like "he might as well have killed someone" youu get less time
@@miss_dezirethe killer in this story got life with no parole. The kid who committed robbery got 27 yrs…..math should tell you 27 yrs is LESS than life with no parole. Y’all are feeling sorry for the kid bcuz of what happened to his mom/grandmom , which I get , but your sympathy for the kid doesn’t excuse what he did
@Cottonrazorblades wth are youu talking about!?!? Lol
Her son should have learnt from his mom's bad experience with armed robbery.
Maybe it was untreated trama
@@tinadesmond6281 no excuse
Different spin to this. Maybe the son is there on his own mission. He did a crime that would place him in a high security prison. Believe you me this is by noway no coincidence. Law Abiding Citizen.
Death penalty is a JOKE!
The voters legitimately voted for the DP, but Newscum overturned it.
Gavin Newscum is a joke.
🎯🎯🎯
Since 87 !! The guy is still breathing 🙄
Yet majority of Californians decide to keep him if you vote to keep Newsome you agree with his policy.
I wish they would have kept the inmate in Vacaville so the grandson could have gotten him…
😂😂😂
Exactly.
1987 !!! And he still alive leaching and living out of the hard-earned Taxpayers money
*It's a business of course they're going to get rich off him 1st*
If youu are on death row, who gives a shot about youur feelings or wants/needs... they want more freedom???? &&& this gov gave in &&& gave it to them??? I bet if one of his fam members got murdered by one of those prisoners, he wouldn't have even considered such a thing.. this is wild
Sorry her mother was killed and the grandson witnessed it. But once he became an adult he should've known that robbery was against the law and it could land him behind bars. So had he not committed the crime he wouldn't be doing any time
Right had he not committed that heinous crime then he wouldn't be where he is as of right now
my love i hope you heal and you are so strong and beautiful. God bless your son.. and yes please stay safe be aware.
Is she concerned that her son is now in the same facility or does she think that this man is going to get out? If we're speaking of victims, I'm sure her son's victims feel the same way. He committed the same crime and it could've went the same way as the crime went with her and her mom. Knowing that his grandma died that way why would he go robbed somebody else with a firearm and put them through the same type of trauma?
Her concern is that the men will run into each other
@@ljay4525it seems she’s concerned the the man who murdered her mother wasn’t already put to death. That’s why she mentioned Governor Newsome not caring about her families pain. It’s corrections that makes the decision to move inmates not the governor.
@@jayj.6146 that too but he had to be moved because of the governor's orders. I am in the minority. I don't think she's wrong for being upset about all of it.
I was thinking the same thing. The robbery her some committed could have easily gone the same way. So, I would think she would be less focused on the death penalty being halted, and more concerned about her son attacking the man who murdered her mother (which I wouldn’t blame him if he did) and possibly getting more time added to his sentence.
True but her son didn't do the same crime he didn't kill anyone
why is government so scared of the death penalty?
Because innocent people have been returned to sender
@@ljay4525 so!
It's not a perfect world.
@Lobsterman5481 in usa its obviously still medieval and old testament . Shoves Jesus's death .. and then they pretend theyre Christians!! How evil and blasphemous!! God said do not kill. That includes execution. Jesus took that punishment for us.
Many protests from humanitarian groups
@@Lobsterman5481oh if you are wrongfully accused you won't say that!
Horrible! However, how could her son do similar crime w/o killing someone. A man tried to rob his grandmother. And killed her.
He became a monster b/c a monster hurt him.
Right that is a real good question
@@misspr33tyf33tOf course her son is no better then the man who took the Life of his grandmother and knowing that it happened you'd think the son would have learned from that crime and not made the same and or similar mistake minus taking the Life of an innocent person or people yet instead he didn't and he committed a heinous crime himself so the son is no better then the man who took his grandmother's Life and to have found out that he and his grandmother's k****r was or is in the same section or what have in the prison is strange to me Wow 😮
Well its time for the grandson to get busy and handle it
😂😂😂😂...get it poppin
@@akilaj553 🤣
And get more time and remain in jail? You people really need to get a grip. This young man my needs to do his time and return home to support his mother. Common sense isn't for everyone.@@akilaj553
Facts. He alrdy in for 27 years. He has nothing to lose.
Now the grandson can get at the man...prison justice
My thoughts EXACTLY!
She should have left the state after that happened to her mom. 😢
Right and she didn't yet instead she chose to remain in that same state where the crime took place along with her son and if it was me i would have left right along with my son and not returned back there ever again
I miss California but i don't miss California!
IM SO SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THIS STORY
Why is he still a live😩
So I guess her son wasn’t scared enough when his grandma was killed because he basically did the same thing as his grandma’s killer that’s pretty ironic in my opinion ‼️
R I G H T T T T ☝️ 👍 👌
Now The Son Would Have Run Into & Hurt Him, He’d Be In Trouble
May the grandmother of the mother rest 🕊️ amd my condolences go out to the mother grandson other surviving family members relatives loved ones sibling and or siblings and friends as well
Almost 40 years on death row??? The U.S. government needs to put a time stamp on every death sentence that is handed down. I'd bet that the judge who gave Willie Darnell's kuntry a** this sentence probably kicked the bucket years ago! 🤬
I don’t understand what the problem is. They’re both criminals. The death row inmate shot and killed her mother, but her son was also convicted of armed robbery. They’re evil humans. Gang members from opposing gangs get locked up at the same prisons all the time. Prison is not a place where we accommodate individuals who chose to do terrible things. Why don’t they interview the victims of this woman’s son? I wonder how they would feel about the situation. It’s called prison for a reason. It’s not supposed to be comfortable and ideal. What’s so hard to understand here? This woman is ridiculous.
You don’t understand because you are not from the environment where there is no way on earth the grandson would have let that guy keep breathing who killed his grandmother , he would have gotten to him in one way or another that’s why the prison officials quickly moved him.
@@leetheaarceneaux8151EXACTLY!
@@leetheaarceneaux8151 you know what... You're absolutely right but there is protocols and that has to be understood as well. Crazy situation.
Because the son was a victim in that man’s crime and was innocent at the time he was a victim. You don’t put victims in the same cell as their attacker, even if the victim grew up 20-40yrs later to commit the same type of crime that attacker likely traumatized them into. Plus, what if she wants to visit her son? Should she continue to be traumatized if her attacker also has a visitor that same day?? Make it make sense.
@LilChairtoyouVery Foolish but standing 10 toes behind Trump Foolishness🤣😂😭😭😭😭😭I can't with these so called Carl's and Karen's
Instead of moving them follow through with the plan.
1987!?! Why is he still alive!?!
Gavin Newsom is gross
He needs to get voted out.
Yep! 👍🏾
Gavin tried to run for President.
Her son shouldn't have decided to be a criminal, prisons are full of criminals
Okay Karen 🤣😂😭Worry about your Children this her story
Thank you for your comment. This bozo doesn't know what type of drama this young man is going through. Can you imagine seeing someone get shot with a shotgun. Trust me the damage it can cause will amaze you.@@AqkeunnaTerrell
@@Leroy-tj9jgFacts 💯 I just don't understand these type of folks..SMH Thank you for commenting on what I said💯🙏🏾💪🏾
Right that t and especially after what happened to his grandmother and his own mother as well
NEXT STORY !
Shouldn't death row inmate be sleeping outside in a tent
Yikes how scary, weird and awkward that is imr how often do you see or have that happening
RIP!
She should’ve never contacted the authorities, and just let her son handle him.
Her son had that gun for a reason. He was prepared to use it. My son got 5-20 for bank robbery without a weapon. He got out in 6. Use your heads people. Stop running around with guns. Get a job. Walk if you have to. Quit spending money on drugs and save up for a car. Its not that hard!
VOTE HIM OUT!!!!
Is she upset the offender is still in prison??? I don’t understand.
27 years for armed robbery what a joke 🚮🚮🚮🚮
Mr newsam don't you have a family.something is wrong with you 😢
He cheated on his wife….
SMH
Oh please
So what if he’s in Vacaville? He’s jailed.
Why even prolong the execution?
Just insane
I’m shocked the lil boy don’t want to handle homie in the pin
27 yrs for bank robbery?
Stay out of prison. Solve the problem.
Dang her son a criminal smh
So what are they saying? They mo ed them ohysically to a new location but they are still are going to be put to death?
Read the Wikipedia articles on Cary Stayner, Cleophus Prince, and Charles Ng. The Death Penalty is not enough.
They really need to reevaluate all these laws
He probably would not even be in prison if the grandmother 👵🏽 was still here.
You live in a progressive state deal with it if you don't like it move De sanctis Disneyland Florida.
She should take all her savings and send it to her son and tell him to stand on business
That's What You Think Governor But Not The People
🙏🏾
This is sad. It doesnt make sense. Vote different Cali. That may offend people but it is what it is. Get rid of Newsome and other Dems.
Get Busy
I don’t believe in the death penalty so🤷🏽♀️
That not right
Shotgun 😮😮
Why are they in prison for 37yrs!!!!!!! That not death row his still breathing
So basically the son was inspired by his grandmother's killer to do the same thing. Seems like the son looked up & wanted be just like his grandmother's killer.
Don't do the crime, won't do the time.
How would they know her son is in prison? But I understand her concern. They don’t know her son from a can of paint.
The justice department is a big joke; it truly has become a for profit machine.
Willie Darnell 😒
Oh well, next… how is Trump allowed to run for president when he should be right next to them.
This lady is beautiful
Smh
I may see this differently but I have a feeling she’s afraid that her son may kill the man and her son will get more time 🤔it’s a possibility
We really talk about where 2 criminals are housed. I understand that the boy's grandmother was the victim and the perpetrator is now in the same jail. What's the problem? They are both criminals. Yeah, you might worry about a safety, but he should worry about his safety and not going to jail. How about that? So we're literally on TV talking about 2 prisoners. Being locked up together. Really? Maybe a grandson shouldn't have done what he did and he wouldn't be in a jail with a murderer.
Dude saw a robbery go horribly wrong that defined his and his families life forever and still almost ended up being the very same monster that killed his grandmother. It's like he became a robber to get close to the actual killer like in a movie. Ya know where the dea dress up as gang thugs to join the group of people that their gunna take down in the end. Classic move.
Believe it or not , this happens all the time… the system is shot
Time to get it poppin
birds of a feather
He Gon Be Released Soon
HE SAID DO WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KILL NO..I PRAY IN JESUS NAME YOU TAKE THAT SAME STAND FOR ABORTION. YOU RIGHT NONE HAVE A RIGHT TO KILL. BUT GOD ALMIGHTY IN JESUS NAME. WHO ONLY GIVE LIFE. AND WHO ONLY CAN TAKE LIFE.
They are both criminals lady get over it
😮
My heart goes out to this woman, however this guy has been in prison nearly 40 years. I'm sure if they don't see that he's been rehabilitated that he would not have been moved to that facility. You have to get counseling, pray and learn to let go of that pain. I'm not saying that she's not justified in her feelings, but after 3 decades he's probably in his late 60's. I don't think he's a threat to anyone at this point. God be with her, but she needs to be trying to save her son from being on death row next. It's obvious that he needs help.
How DARE HER SON GO OUT AND DO THAT! OH WELL...IF U CANT DO THE TIME...
They did that on purpose
The Gov did right to many people have been put to death who were innocent
Starr from University of Michigan Law School found that, controlling for the crime, "men receive 63% longer sentences on average than women do," and "[w]omen are… twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted", also based on data from US federal court cases.
Gitm!!!
Really....really.....HOW is it that the news host hair stays put... around her breast, and not hanging straight down 👇???!
Whattt ⁉️😂😂😂😂
😂
Good opportunity to take care of business
Same demographic
No surprise there
Yup m@les
Nah grandson was scared he didn't want that smoke smh he filed a incompatible without filling a incompatible 🤔 if you know you know a real one woulda kept that hush n paroled dude right on out 🗡🪛⚰️🚶🏾➡️
