The ironic part about this is the Hardway Brothers came from a loving supportive two parent household and still chose a lifestyle that wound up sending them to prison.
@@theboldandthebeautiful3729 sadly i feel thats what happens to most of these guys. And the ones that actually know what they got in and choose to stay do it because of what they already seen and been through. No matter the age or circumstances killing somebody or having a loved on taken from you in that way changes you for life. And sometimes its too late to make that realization
they both victims yes. But the story is focusing on the cycle of gang life and the punishments, rather then the causality of a gun shot which of course is still hard breaking. Damn Black Americans have been through tough times
A friend big Shavon spoke out and said he was there and Yummy didn’t shoot hers even the alleged killers said it was a gang shootout they led to her getting killed. They both Denied killing Yummy. The bothers lost their mother and father because of what happened to Yummy. Most people say they’re lying but what would be their point of lying when they already severed their long sentence?
It’s crazy I see ppl who get 7, 10, 15,20 years for murder, 2-5 years for the rape of a child. 40 years for a driver. I’m just curious how minors get 60, 40 years and most adults get 4x’s less of a sentence. I wonder why people’s lives have such different values. The system is so confusing
That’s what he got what’s wrong wit yall in these comments he crashed out !! Big brudda kilked a kid yall be blowin me in da comments justifying kilking
Gang members ask me to join a gang at the time I was about like 21 ,He say to get in I have to rob that lady to prove to him and gang..I say nope he call me a name ....I Lose a homie that was in the gang in 2010..Last time talk to him was 2 years early @ his job at Erines'..I was order food by that time.
the little brother even though he was the get away driver & did’t actually shoot the gun he’s reaping the mistakes of his brothers actions… i know everyday he regrets driving that car
When i was a officer I remember when the older brother came to stateville cc. He was a wild child..hot head hard headed. Always in trouble with staff and inmates..I retired a Sargent in 2020 I have to say I'm glad he changed his ways.. hope the best for him..
Everybody thought they didn’t do it especially the sister that was on camera the little kids also see u never know I could never kill anyone cuz someone told me 2 I’m getting help 11 yr old n he also killed it had to been older ones I like to know where the ones who put the hit on him they gotta be the 2 stupidest brothers
The brothers are guily in Yummies death but Yummies family failed him and are complicit in his death and reckless youthful life. Where were they in raising young Yummy to become a positive and productive lad . Yummy, RIP, had a rap sheet of crime, murder, gangs, etc. His family are equally blamed in his demise.
Tru that. He had all types of scars and cigarette burns all over his body. I read somewhere he was abused in the home. Just real sickening. I'm from that area this happened in. I was going to my junior year in highschool when this happened. Sad thing is, it's even worst now.
Completely failed him. If you watch the funeral documentary while his mother speaks about him, You can tell she knew nothing about her son at all. She was really never in his life like that and I'm pretty sure his other families didn't keep an eye on him like that too because they just let him dropped out of school at a really young age
Gang banging is going to be the death of the youth. Love is needed when growing up in your formative years. It was heartbreaking to see the picture of Yummy looking older than his 11 years. Hard life takes a toll.
You think those kids join bc they’re already leading a peachy lifestyle?? These things start at home… And these gangs are just waiting for a space to move into these kids minds. That’s the way extremist groups work. They target the vulnerable, children, the abused, and the isolated. Same thing as predators and traffickers… Imagine that.
They said the other gang members didn't call them or send letters or give them money. Who would have thought gang members would be unreliable ? Who would have thought

Living in Chicago my whole life, all the things I have heard, this was one of and always will be, the saddest stories I have ever heard . It started with the Shavon Dean murder . She was only a year older then me . Hearing a 11 year old Robert “ Yummy “ Sandfur was involved. Then shortly after that , hearing that he was murdered by 2 young men not much older then not only myself , but “yummy” as well . I ‘ve seen this interview before but nice to see it again . It’s sad to even see how their lives were ruined by bad choices . I hope and pray they are out now , people do give them a second chance , they turn their lives completely around hopefully give their lives over to Jesus one day and be a inspiration to others who might be going down the same wrong path they once went down . The sad part is the gang promised them all those things to make sure they didn’t snitch , and gave them absolutely nothing .
Who running the drill rap scene right now influencing the youth??? them damn BDS same ones killed yummy,smh 🤦🏿♀️ this was my neighborhood he was my friend misunderstood, neglected and lost I thank God he got me out the pain of my childhood years still lingers the world don't understand but the Lord knows💪🏾🙏🏾
As a father I tried my best to develop my children mind and they actions at a early age to understand right and wrong making good choices and consequence making bad choices.
Exactly, but then you have mfs that never came from a rough environment. That actually got to be a kid and have a normal childhood. Then have the nerve to judge and say what they would have done in that situation. In all actuality most of us in their same position would've done it too , wether you close your eyes or crying hard as hell an right before you kill him you muffle "I'm sorry" 💥
What people dont know is yummy had multiple bodies and shot a lot of other surviving people. He had a hit on his life anyway so it wouldn't have been long before he died.
As of May 26, 2024, Derrick Hardaway was released from prison in December 2016 and Cragg Hardaway was released in December 2020 after being convicted of the murder of Robert "Yummy" Sandifer.
Somebody told him to do his mama abused him . His grandma had 19 other grandchildren && other people misled him and killed him he never was the problem he was lost
As minors the punishment did not fit the crime. These young men were brainwashed so easily as children and victimized a second time by the criminal system. Yes they killed a young boy, who also killed someone, but they did not have the mental and social maturation to full understand the scope of what they were doing with adults influencing them otherwise. It's soo sad 😔
It's honestly sad law enforcers, Politicians and judges don't really take the time out to put themselves in that type of situation . Not to mention the brothers were threatened to do this or be killed so you could only imagine what going through their heads as teenagers. Yes what they did was wrong but that was too harsh of a sentence. They should had at least got 25 or 30 years to be fair. Mind you this murder happened during the time they was trying to give harsher sentences on gang members. They didn't stand a chance
@@nynylayready2slay724 they may be more understanding than you think considering he killed someone because of the same influence. It's a sad vicious cycle and they were all victims to it; so heartbreaking all around.
The fact that GROWN men let all of them take the fall, Yummy and these brothers, it’s disgusting! I hope they paid everyday of their life for what they did! They set all three of these kids up!
Yea, he be laughing his ass off right now, sometimes I just can't understand American justice system, the dude ordering the hit is guilty as them and he also should do time himself
Chicago police do not give a fuck the gangs outnumber them so they sit back let them kill each other and pick up the ones they can easily convict without putting they ass to much on the line
Wow anyone that young shouldn't be doing this kind of time, not that what they did wasn't evil, but a brain that young cant comprehend the level of intent. Throw in the environment they grew up in and they had no chance, give these men a chance at a free life
45 years for driving a car, foh. Just a while back in my country a woman shot her man, she called her mr. friend zone and he helped her get rid of the body, he got 6 months. I said "If this was America that dude would have gotten 30 years". We're both "Western" countries but the difference in punishment is crazy. T.f. you gonna give a minor 45 years for driving a car for?
@@ptgworldwide4727 Well, as a black person who also is from outside of the States I have to agree with him though. With the dude being the get away driver but him also being a minor I think a 45 years sentence is a bit unreasonable. I agree he should be sentenced for his role in the murder but as a minor I believe a lower sentence and investing in future rehabilitation in society would fit more than taking almost the half of a human life
The felony murder rule is a rule that allows a defendant to be charged with first-degree murder for a killing that occurs during a dangerous felony, even if the defendant is not the killer
So what? they should have known better not to kill a child making him get on his knees and shooting him in the back of his head,they are lucky someone don't kill them when they get out! that baby had a very hard life no Guidance, but God will repay.
@@pennyparham7007 you do understand they where kids themselves right ? All 3 them boys where kids being manipulated by grown men. Not saying what they did was right but understand the situation before you speak.
@djbasquiat You are absolutely right. They will convince you theyre your people when they don’t care about or protect you fr. They put a hit out on a FRICKIN CHILD. Just sick 😔
It’s sad how gangs turned out,it’s sad that we no longer look after our own,and I mean really look after,put boys through school,pay for their Tyrion,feed the kids breakfast,teach young black men about politics,finances,and self defense.what happened to us?
So, not one person from Yummy's family gave a damn about him when he was alive, but all of a sudden, they do after he gets executed? This is one of the saddest incidences I've come across. So sad
I've told people about Chicago since the early 90s. My grandma and moms family lived all over the south side. BDs and all. But, It was always crazy to me.. Little kids was killing grown me out there back then. Seen a kid walk up to a 18 year old on the basketball court. Shot dude 3 or 4 times. Everyone ran. He walked off. I was like 8 when I saw that.
I still think about what happened in 94 . I was pregnant with twins now 29 years old and I will always remember Yummy and all those affected by this senseless time.
Really got a feeling this happened to my baby brother as well in Detroit smh I’ve been wanting to direct a movie based on yummy and kids like the hardaway brothers
@@danniellerush2980 o yes do u have email or social media I definitely want to work with independent people on these type of films important messages and shocking events in the world like yummy story so many young lives like his Tupac would have loved movies like that I think let’s definitely manifest teaming up to get stories like this out more ♥️💯

Yummys are now in my neighbourhood 12 years they are strapped up. Back then it was rare now it’s extremely common so it’s getting worse and worse. Try having a tour around Baltimore it’s Normal so sad
I really want to hear more from Yummy's family..I know they will never reveal themselves bc honestly they all (who was alive during that time) should be ashamed of themselves...EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM
I will never ever forget this we lived on 103rd cottage grove at the time of yummy’s death..i remember asking my dad why would they kill him he was just a lil boy and i cried..Chicago is such a rough azz place to grow up and if you’re not mind strong the streets of Chicago will eat you alive
it was no way out from that situation i'm glad that the killers realized there mistake my prayer goes out to yummy family as fucked up the mother and grand mother was to him they still had a title towards him and to everybody out there just because your father wasn't in your life don't mean its the end of the world be your own person how ever if you are feeling that way and thats the path you are choosing just know what that comes with jail or in the grave look in the mirror and ask yourself is it worth it and if you have outlet like rapping please don't diss nobody and get out the hood its never to late to change take care.
Yeah the lawyers sold him out, probably convinced them to take "blind plea agreements" in which they plead guilty without an agreement on how much time they'll get. Murder carried 20-60 yrs back in the 90s, judge gave him 45 and his older brother the max at 60. They have spent more than 2 times their original ages in prison. No doubt they are institutionalized. 45 yrs at age 14 and a alleged getaway driver is a lot of time. I think he would have done 50% of that time, so about 23 yrs, and his brother 30. They both should be out of prison now.
These dudes today are still claiming the gang they were apart of after being locked away for year. They don’t have any remorse, they talk about this situation a lot differently today like they’re proud of it
Not that I'm trying to talk down on him but he sounded like a nightmare: strong-arming other kids, picking fights no matter how much bigger or smaller somebody was, etc... and even fighting church-goers when the young lady's mother took him to church. Based on his autopsy and notes from his psychiatrist, months before he was killed, he had been abused. Cigarette burns were found on his neck, buttocks and other places. Even if he had not been in a gang, I believe he still would have terrorized others around him.
Looking at this video trips me out. I went to HS wit they older sister Katrice. Derrick looks and sounds exactly like her. Before this all went down I remember their sister telling me about the brothers but she never mentioned they were BD's. Crazy how we can be less than 3 degrees connected to a person or situation.
I believe the prosecutor's line was that they were super-predators and that they could not be helped. So their conditioning of the jury this way aided in their sentencing. Derrick (the 14 year old getaway driver) was told by lawyers not to react (or get emotional) in the courtroom, and later, it was said that he showed no remorse, when he was only following his lawyers instructions.
@@blackiechan4577 I didn't say he was HE WAS A CRUELY TREATED CHILD SINCE BIRTH,HE SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN ASSASSINATED ON HIS KNEES SHOT TWICE IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD THESE BOYS THAT KILLED HIM WERE YOUNG MEN,THAT GIRLS MURDER THEY SAID ONE OF THOSE gang members kill that girl and put it on sandifer,Those boys shouldn't be out now,the driver did show so.remorse, the trigger man didn't.
😮I grew up around guys like them. You can't tell them anything. They want to be accepted and will do anything to gain that acceptance even kill someone. They are followers. They have a choice but choose the dark side. When you don't think for yourselves, others will do it for you.😮

This is what happens when the Father figure is gone. My wife and I have 5 children I hope I set a good example for my sons and hope I do the same when my daughters look for a husband. Nobody is perfect.
Their parents were happily married, they also had a very tight knit family with their grandmother and aunt living within walking distance of their family home. It’s not always a case of the missing dad.
Do you even know what their situation was? Lol. Their dad was present and still married to their mom. He was a software engineer and their mom was an educator (a council member in fact). And their sister was in college at the time with aspirations of becoming a television producer. The boys, themselves were said to have been book smart, with Cragg being somewhat of a math whiz. It's not right to jump to conclusions.

It's not the music, there are many factors, poverty, neglect, lack of educational systems, etc. I listened to the same music so not that simple. The same way metal doesn't cause white kids to kill ...
Is it possible they can get a second chance? When you're young you don't think that things will go a certain away. They were all products of their environments including Yummy. I thank God my siblings and I didn't grow up that way. My mom means everything to me. My bro on my father's side has 4 life sentences and my baby bro passed trying to be a witness. Please encourage our young black men to go another way. You're not lame cause you don't want to be in a gang. That's being a winner.
Gangs are not the real family. But this does start at the home. Most like with the absence of the fathers to straighten out these kids to keep them off the street gangs. I pray for the future dads to keep this story in mind and please take care of your children, love them and lead them to a better path, much better than what we lived. Teach them.
Why did Robert kill that lil girl nobody ask that question but a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old get 40 and 65 years for killing somebody who killed a girl and shot two children
Bro an 11 year old is literally a baby he didn’t even experience puberty, at 14 and 16 you still knew more than an 11 year old, they turned that baby into a monster.

As a father I tried my best to develop my children mind and they actions at a early age to understand right and wrong making good choices and consequence making bad choices.
God bless sir 🙏🏼. Sincerely wishing you all the best 💞

Yummys family didn’t care about him when he was alive; so they don’t deserve an apology.
I mean, ya kinda got a point lol
His grandmother did
They were just scared kids. I should imagine the fear of themselves being killed is what drove them to kill Yummy. Sad, all round.
Exactly, but then you have mfs that never came from a rough environment. That actually got to be a kid and have a normal childhood. Then have the nerve to judge and say what they would have done in that situation. In all actuality most of us in their same position would've done it too , wether you close your eyes or crying hard as hell an right before you kill him you muffle "I'm sorry" 💥

As minors the punishment did not fit the crime. These young men were brainwashed so easily as children and victimized a second time by the criminal system. Yes they killed a young boy, who also killed someone, but they did not have the mental and social maturation to full understand the scope of what they were doing with adults influencing them otherwise. It's soo sad 😔
It's honestly sad law enforcers, Politicians and judges don't really take the time out to put themselves in that type of situation . Not to mention the brothers were threatened to do this or be killed so you could only imagine what going through their heads as teenagers. Yes what they did was wrong but that was too harsh of a sentence. They should had at least got 25 or 30 years to be fair. Mind you this murder happened during the time they was trying to give harsher sentences on gang members. They didn't stand a chance

Yea, he be laughing his ass off right now, sometimes I just can't understand American justice system, the dude ordering the hit is guilty as them and he also should do time himself

@@ptgworldwide4727 Well, as a black person who also is from outside of the States I have to agree with him though. With the dude being the get away driver but him also being a minor I think a 45 years sentence is a bit unreasonable.

So, not one person from Yummy's family gave a damn about him when he was alive, but all of a sudden, they do after he gets executed? This is one of the saddest incidences I've come across. So sad
My exact thoughts!
Yummy took a life early and lost his early.
I remember reading that time magazine with Yummy on it in middle school.
Same. If I'm not mistaken, my classroom had to read about it.
Praying for both sides of the family🙏
Indeed
Broken families often produce broken and lost people. 😭😭😭
Sadly, PUT TOGETHER FAMILIES tend to produce worse
Yep, it’s generational and very unfortunate! It takes a strong person to end generational destructive habits!
I've told people about Chicago since the early 90s. My grandma and moms family lived all over the south side. BDs and all. But, It was always crazy to me.. Little kids was killing grown me out there back then. Seen a kid walk up to a 18 year old on the basketball court. Shot dude 3 or 4 times. Everyone ran. He walked off. I was like 8 when I saw that.
I still think about what happened in 94 . I was pregnant with twins now 29 years old and I will always remember Yummy and all those affected by this senseless time.
Really got a feeling this happened to my baby brother as well in Detroit smh I’ve been wanting to direct a movie based on yummy and kids like the hardaway brothers
Sorry to hear that .
I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU OUT WITH THE MOVIE
@@danniellerush2980 o yes do u have email or social media I definitely want to work with independent people on these type of films important messages and shocking events in the world like yummy story so many young lives like his Tupac would have loved movies like that I think let’s definitely manifest teaming up to get stories like this out more ♥️💯

Yummys are now in my neighbourhood 12 years they are strapped up. Back then it was rare now it’s extremely common so it’s getting worse and worse. Try having a tour around Baltimore it’s Normal so sad
"Back then it was rare"
Ya, that's just not true lol.
I really want to hear more from Yummy's family..I know they will never reveal themselves bc honestly they all (who was alive during that time) should be ashamed of themselves...EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM
Here you go. th-cam.com/video/AvLrkBgQH2Q/w-d-xo.html
The mom is truly disgusting fr
I think there all dead now. I know his mom is
I’m related to yummy newer generation tho
The mom.abused him, burned him woth cigarettes and shi.
I used to read a book about Robert Yummy Sandifer what I was in high school it's called yummy the last days of Southside shorty
I will never ever forget this we lived on 103rd cottage grove at the time of yummy’s death..i remember asking my dad why would they kill him he was just a lil boy and i cried..Chicago is such a rough azz place to grow up and if you’re not mind strong the streets of Chicago will eat you alive
it was no way out from that situation i'm glad that the killers realized there mistake my prayer goes out to yummy family as fucked up the mother and grand mother was to him they still had a title towards him and to everybody out there just because your father wasn't in your life don't mean its the end of the world be your own person how ever if you are feeling that way and thats the path you are choosing just know what that comes with jail or in the grave look in the mirror and ask yourself is it worth it and if you have outlet like rapping please don't diss nobody and get out the hood its never to late to change take care.
Not the killers, just participated in some way
evil deed. But 45 years for a 14 yr old getaway driver seems rough
It's right
Facts
Yeah the lawyers sold him out, probably convinced them to take "blind plea agreements" in which they plead guilty without an agreement on how much time they'll get. Murder carried 20-60 yrs back in the 90s, judge gave him 45 and his older brother the max at 60. They have spent more than 2 times their original ages in prison. No doubt they are institutionalized. 45 yrs at age 14 and a alleged getaway driver is a lot of time. I think he would have done 50% of that time, so about 23 yrs, and his brother 30. They both should be out of prison now.
I believe the get away driver is an accomplice, correct? Well then there it is. The driver is an accomplice to murder.
derrick hardway got out in 2016
These dudes today are still claiming the gang they were apart of after being locked away for year. They don’t have any remorse, they talk about this situation a lot differently today like they’re proud of it
You have grown men commit murder free as a bird after they did their time these boys were forced to murder and they are still in prison
When I was young I fought to stay out of gangs until they respected me! Life comes down to Choices and Prayer!
What point we're u trying to make ain't every body in the same living situation
Just listening to the way the Hardaway brothers spoke it seems like Yummy wasn't the only one who was just caught up hanging with the wrong crowd.
Poor Yummy 😭
Wow not only was Robert a kid , but these brothers were kids themselves!
Neither one of them should be out of prison.
I remember this case " never forgot it " all around tragic .
This will always be a sad story almost 30 years later
The young lady he killed was my cousin, yummy had a criminal record a mile long he was not a innocent little boy
I’m sorry for your lost but that little boy was failed by his mom , dad and grandma so this tragic story is the result of it all
Not that I'm trying to talk down on him but he sounded like a nightmare: strong-arming other kids, picking fights no matter how much bigger or smaller somebody was, etc... and even fighting church-goers when the young lady's mother took him to church. Based on his autopsy and notes from his psychiatrist, months before he was killed, he had been abused. Cigarette burns were found on his neck, buttocks and other places. Even if he had not been in a gang, I believe he still would have terrorized others around him.
Wow that's insane...
OMG so sorry for your loss my deepest condolences 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for talking to the media.
This breaks my heart ! Most ppl that join gangs just wanted a family and that same delusion of family will rid of you based off an assumption 🤬
Looking at this video trips me out. I went to HS wit they older sister Katrice. Derrick looks and sounds exactly like her. Before this all went down I remember their sister telling me about the brothers but she never mentioned they were BD's. Crazy how we can be less than 3 degrees connected to a person or situation.
Still crazy to give 45 to a 14 getaway driver
exactly
If they was white kids they would've did 2 years
I believe the prosecutor's line was that they were super-predators and that they could not be helped. So their conditioning of the jury this way aided in their sentencing. Derrick (the 14 year old getaway driver) was told by lawyers not to react (or get emotional) in the courtroom, and later, it was said that he showed no remorse, when he was only following his lawyers instructions.
@@MediaGoffTV stop it! They would have given white kids a long sentence, too.

This is what happens when the Father figure is gone. My wife and I have 5 children I hope I set a good example for my sons and hope I do the same when my daughters look for a husband. Nobody is perfect.
Their parents were happily married, they also had a very tight knit family with their grandmother and aunt living within walking distance of their family home. It’s not always a case of the missing dad.
Do you even know what their situation was? Lol. Their dad was present and still married to their mom. He was a software engineer and their mom was an educator (a council member in fact). And their sister was in college at the time with aspirations of becoming a television producer. The boys, themselves were said to have been book smart, with Cragg being somewhat of a math whiz. It's not right to jump to conclusions.

Gangs are not the real family. But this does start at the home. Most like with the absence of the fathers to straighten out these kids to keep them off the street gangs.
