  Speaker 1: And you went in there just to uh, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you know, just just get a verdict of guilty for
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: somebody who has committed the crime that was wrong. We
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: have video, you know, we we have we have we had,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we had evidence is audio Rishan, and you know you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: were there at the beginning. I'm a civil rights lawyer,

  Speaker 1: limit yourself. You know, you never ever put limpus on yourself.

  Speaker 1: And so that's what I'm doing. I'm following a lot
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of good advice from you about this, uh television and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: media branding and such. What we did for Traybon was
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: just very organic and sincere because it was all from
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the heart. We took the case because his seventeen year
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: old child had been killed, and you said that's not right,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and it became the number one news story in the world.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: From that point, every time I walked in an airport's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: whereby walk, people recognized who I was because I believe
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the passion that I displayed and advocating for Traybon. And
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: then after that the phone just kept ringing. UM. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: so now I'm doing a national law firm to being
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: crump law firms. So we should try to help more people. Uh,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: we've just sued the National Basketball Association. We think not
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: only when we have that family, but we'll make cold
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: sale changes as it relates to uh, these sudden cardiac
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: events that most high performance after lets have a chance
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of experiencing, and whether they live or die is going
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to depend on the rapid response of appropriate medical attention.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I mean these are high school players, college players, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: so life is evolving until we have evidence of innocence.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Tonight that you pretty much shepherded me to do, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we talked about what is it if you were given
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the platform, would you want to do or tell the world,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And I said, if I had my weight, Reshine, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: would want to tell them about due process of the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: law and the fact that we don't always get equal justice,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but we need to be educated about it, and you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: took it from there and said, on these wrong for convictions,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: everybody needs to know that it can happen to you too,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and let's tell the inspirational story. So it's just been
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a journey with shine and today is the fulfillment of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: one of those uh plans that we had that we
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: made reality, you know, And I think that I think
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I like the fact that you say journey because a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: lot of people who want to be successful, a lot
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of people want to open business, a lot of people
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: want to transition their careers. They should know it doesn't
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: happen overnight. And it also happens with a lot of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: people questioning you and that and when you make these decisions.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But I want to ask this one question because you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and I know for a fact, you know, you get
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: called on so many cases. Is it? Is it it worth?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: How does it affect you when the verdict does not
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: turn out in the manner because it has to take
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a personal toll on you. How does it affect you? Then?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You know, it's so interesting, Rashaan, because Third and Marcia,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: like I said, it is my personal hero. And I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: have read about Third and Marshall I studied him. Many
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: people don't understand that a lot of things that happen
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is beyond Third Good Marsha's control is beyond my control.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Whether person goes to jail or not, that's up to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the prosecutor. That has nothing to do with being crump.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: We've won every case we've ever had. We've got multimillion
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: dollar verdicts of settlements for Trade Vine parents, Michael Brown parents,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to Merror Rize parents, the thirteen black women that was
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: raped in Oklahoma City, even though that police officer did
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: go to jail for two and sixty three years. It's rare.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Well with Third Good Marshall. You know, Brown versus Boys
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: cases were lost thirteen times up until they got to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. And people talk and called Third Good
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Marsha everything but a child of God. They said, oh,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: he's not the right one, he's just not the man.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: We need another lawyer and all this stuff. But Third
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Good just kept going about the business of saying, I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: understand what my cause is, what my purpose is. And
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: people will often be negative. You just have to tune
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that stuff out because they can't see the big picture,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and the big picture you believe Street would get it right,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and I have so much to be thankful for. Rashand
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a few and they says, I mean, I'm a country
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: boyfriend the projects in North Carolina, and now I'm considered
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: one of the most recognizable successful lawyers in America. Man,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I can't ever be sad about anything that ever happens
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: in my life. And I know, man, we'll be We've
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: been going. I eat public bit chicken places, and man,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, because I'll be looking at the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: regular cause I'm not recognizable, so I'm taking place of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that well, unrecognizable person. Go, they gonna excuse me, Mr
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Bank because I take a picture with you. In fact,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you was in l A. And I did the dumb thing.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I said, meet me on the car and I'm just
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: swinging by a pick up. By the time I got
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: over there ten people surrounding them in l A. Can
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: we take pictures to you, Mr? He said, Richard, I
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: don't ever do that no more. I said, Ben, I forgot,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: but I forgot you famous. I forgot my friend brother
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is famous. And that's where you at, man, that's and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that's really you know. You know, you have a beautiful wife,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you have a beautiful child, and that takes your toll
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: because I I've been, I've been in that land where
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you you go to a restaurant, people are talking to you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Your food to get cold, you know, you got to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: go in the restroom and then they're waiting on you
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: when you come out. You know, you know that's that's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a crazy world. But that's the world you live in. Now,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: what adjustments do you make to to to deal with that? Man?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Because I know it's an adjustment here, and it's good
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: having somebody like you who've seen it all before, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: give me some advice on it. I think one of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the ones he like, I'm the only family person you know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: or Tyler Perry. Stay okay, we've going down that list,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: jay Z. You know what I'm saying that Sean McDonald,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Rishan mcgna weigh in the Toldo. But I love to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: love and giving me. But I'm gonna stop this madness now,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you know, Shan, you get me sign it like I've
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: just a funny part about it. Keep me talking to me.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I gotta go to Tyler Perry was the one and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I thought I was, I'm gonna stop all this madness.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop all this madness. You know you're my
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: mentor and whenever I needs talking cross world of life,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I called you for that significant inviting. You need to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: stop stop where we we do talk at least six times,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: but we do. We do that, we do. My wife
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you talking again? Yeah, baby, what's wrong? What's wrong? Can
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I talk to you? One? My frad brother. I thought
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the frap brother. I usually call my down Yeah yeah, um,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: but you know one of the things I was gonna
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: say it, shine Um tell him were family. You try
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to find that balance and it is challenging because we
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: have the law firm, and I have an excellent team.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I have fourteen lawyers who worked with miss make me
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: look good. But a lot of times, as you know,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: oh too well, people want to talk to you and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: they want you and you're trying to be there for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: your five year old daughter. My wife got jene Angelie Krupp.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: She's very uh considerate because she lets me uh go
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: chase the dreams. And that's very important to have somebody
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in your corner who allows you to try and yeah,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and that that's a that's crucial. That's a whole another
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: segment on money making conversation. Um. But then at the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: crux of the matter, you start trying to prioritize the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: things that are important to you, uh and things that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you simply want to do but you can't do. For instance,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I know I have the show coming out of this evening,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and that's great. In California, where I'm at today, there
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: is the California primaries where they're voting on who's going
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to be the nominees for the parties, and then Stefan
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Clark's case and Sacramento they're having a rally on the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: capital steps. Uh. Nick Cannon is supposed to be there,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and some others trying to get peep out the vote,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: especially the young people because in these local elections, the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: district attorney makes a world of difference. And so I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: had to balance the premiere of evidence of innocence today
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: knowing that this is the evil the California primary that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: they had talked to me when I first got on
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: stephano class case, and we got to get this d
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a out of here because she's never going to look
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: out for our children and care about our community. And
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: so that's what I constantly do because I never wanted
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: to be said that I'm not frightening for the causes
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I believe at my court lawyer, and we come back.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go in detail about our show. I'm the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: one I created, executive deduce the one you started creating
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: an executive produced evidence of innocence. Back with Money Making Conversation.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I'm your host with Sean McDonald on the phone. Is
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the lead attorney or he was? He was the lead
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: attorney for such an incredible families also leader turning for
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a couple of colors. But letna bring it all down
• 11:57

  Speaker 1: Stefan Clark who was britally brutally shot by a Sacramento
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: police uh Jekeisha Clemens, who was wrestled to the ground
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: by police, was exposed. The breast was exposed, which was horrible.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: While houses Uh is still dealing with the fallout from that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Is the true van guard and a good friend in
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the fight against police brutality. Police. Welcome back to Money
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Making Conversation. Attorney Benjamin crump Hey, Good morning, Rashan, so
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: happy again. I always talk tonight tonight tonight Man, tonight Man.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: The show. Ever this event, you put a lot of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: personal time with them. It's a limited serial. Let me
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: just tell everybody they gave us four episodes because it's entertainment,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you know, just because we have a good spirit, we
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: have a good idea. We want to tell the story,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the motivational story about people who've been in jail for decades,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: how they come out, how they dealt with the circumstances,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: how they came out real positive people. These are people
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that you wouldn't even know walking down the street, would
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: worried jail for that long because they didn't let the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: system beat them. We went to Atlanta, Georgia. We went
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to Hartford, Connecticut. We went to Dallas, Texas, went to Portland, Oregan.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I say that to let you know that unjust is
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: happening all over this country. Correct being cromp absolutely going
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: in any court room in Americans said in the back
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and UFC justice is anything but equal. Now why did
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you do this show? We're telling people why it was
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: important to do a show, because you know it's right
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: in your wheelhouse, you know, a voice for the unheard, uh,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: second chance opportunities, motivating people to realize that speak up,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: speak up, don't give up. Yep, you know Rashon, let
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: me tell people who might not know. Evidence of Innocence
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: is about wrongfully convicted people who have been exonerated by
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: clear and convincing evidence and DNA evidence, And so it
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: was so portant for me to do this show. Rashane
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and I were talking about, you know, what would you
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: wanna do if you could communicate to the masses, Because
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: more people watch TV than you, they'll ever know what
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: happened inside of the courtroom. And I said, I would
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: want to try to affect the hearts and minds of
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: future jurors to put a very real show on TV
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: different and that gives the real experience of what many
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: black people facing the courtroom. And this is one of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the most realistic but yet inspirational UH television shows about
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Black people in the criminal justice system that has ever
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: been produced. And I mean that from the heart. Don't
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: take my word that I want you to watch UH
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: these four weeks and you will see that people's faith
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and families have overcome just the most horrible injustices you
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: would ever imagine. And as Rashaun and I kept saying
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to the TV one exact it is, this is important
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to your audience because it can happen to them, It
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: can happen to their family members, that can happen to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: their loved ones. There are a hundred thousand people sitting
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in American prisons who are completely innocent, didn't do anything,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: but yet they are there. And unfortunately, the highest percentage
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of those people are black people, especially black men. And
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to do this show, because I
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: was thinking about us. You know that when you say
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: that the show comes on on Monday nights ten pm
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Eastern on TV one every Monday night. If you hear
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the show and hear on the podcast, just tune in
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: on Monday night. And it's important because of the fact
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: that you know and you interview these people. You got
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to set you know, as a producer, you know, my
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: life isn't so personal. I could walk away, and you
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: get to hear these stories sitting in there, and you know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: as a sense of helplessness because you've already, unfortunately experienced
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the bad side of this this life. You know, ten years,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: twelve years, fifteen years, twenty seven years of their lives
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: have been been taken away. You know, you come out
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: of jail. You know, closed closed style have changed television
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: shows have been canceled. Communications where you communicate, direct TV
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't even existing. Cell phones wasn't in existence. Companies have merged,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you know, we walked out, they're looking for Hamburger places
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and it's closed down, you know, or they's been merging
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to another food joint. So that's a really a lot
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: of the grats. So when you would interview, what was
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: your biggest takeaway from these four individuals that you interviewed.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: You know, the biggest takeaway was that these people are
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: a lot like the people in my family, and you
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: will find that there are a lot like the people
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: in your family. And so when we said could happen
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to somebody you know, love, it's real. I mean the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: episode tonight with Flicia Roberts fact that she had these
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: strikes against her and I'm not giving it all away.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: He was shot because I wanted to watch. But you know,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: she was accused of a Hannish crime, and even though
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: she had an alibi witness, her own defense lawyer told
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: her that hold on, you got four strikes against you.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: You're poor, you're black, you're a woman, and you're openly gay.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: And he said, you got all these strikes against you
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you better take this fifteen year plea, even though she
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: had an alibi witness, even though she declared she didn't
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: do it. He said, if you don't take this plea,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: you're gonna go to that courtroom and you would end
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: up dying in prison. So she took the plea and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: unfortunately spent thirteen years of her life until some dedicated
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: lawyers got on the case and actually challenged the prosecutors
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to produce this alleged evidence that they had. And when
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: you see the night how they just seeed and misled,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: uh and and lied, you will see that we can't
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: take the prosecuted word. And the police were for the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the gospel and this believe the poor people of color.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: We got to believe in our people. Feel in your heart,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you believe that your family member is innocent, you gotta
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: fight for them. And that's the takeaway I got. All
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: these people. They were saved by more a good hearted lawyers,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: but more importantly Rashan. They were saved because their families
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: didn't give up on them. Their wives didn't give up
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: on them, their mothers didn't give up on them, their
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: fathers didn't give up hope. And so we got to
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: stand up for our children. And that's that's really important
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and that you hear that because in doing this show,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway it could happen to me, me being
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Rashan McDonald, me being uh, it could happen to you be,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: It can happen to Adele Henderson, can happen to anybody,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: especially a person minority. Is happening right now. That's why
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: you that's when you're flying all over the country and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: but these people and you hear, you hear these stories.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You know, like the gentlemen in Chicago who was worked
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: for the Chicago White Tux. He was a prison for
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: thirty one years. He gets out, they make a big
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: fan fair about it, and they give him his old
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: job back, you know, but thirty one years. You you
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: don't give an old jaw back for somebody who's been
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: going for thirty one years against their will, you know,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: just get your old jaw back. A lot of things
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: have changed in Kamiskey Park because it ain't Comiskey Park
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: no more. What his old job was that And so
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that's why I look at these situations and I feel
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: fortunate being a relationship with you, because you know, and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you set the cross for these people. And when you
• 19:43
