1275 Days

I mean they break the law and get made that when they get punished. The family is a bunch of low life's that haven't done anything useful. The dad was in and out of jail. The son smokes and breaks in houses. To say the least no you aren't a good kid. I'd feel much better if he was in jail. Very boring and get ready to be pissed off about it.

I am just completely baffled that anyone in their right mind would think that this punk kid should get a lesser charge. Or that I wasted my time watching this crap. That being sent to the pen for 50+ years was UNFAIR. They pulled out every excuse under the sun to JUSTIFY why it was only a robbery. That he didn't kill anyone. They got high seemed to be the most used excuse. So, WHAT! I was a stupid kid and got high more times than I care to remember. I wasn't breaking into houses to steal stuff. The other excuse that seemed to be popular -- they thought it was empty. So, in this day and age it's OK to break into an empty house to steal stuff. Nope not buying it. I sure wouldn't like to have someone break into my house empty or not. That's an invasion that never goes away. You find yourself checking, double-checking, and triple checking the doors because your "safe" zone is gone. Been there and done that -- ended up moving to get that safe zone back. Or the other excuse -- he didn't kill anyone. You broke into someone's house and they just happened to be armed. One of your stupid punk friends runs his mouth and amps up the terror that poor homeowner was feeling and someone ends up getting shot. There is something called taking responsibility for your actions. You live in a state where if someone is killed during a felony YOU ALL get charged with murder. Quite a few states have this law. I have absolutely no sympathy for this kid who decided to pull on his big boy pants and now he wants to change the rules. Nope not buying it. The other thing that really bothered me is they so conveniently kept forgetting to mention that in that particular state -- you get a day credit for a day served. Last time I checked that means he does 25 years. I found this to be a piss poor documentary -- extremely one-sided. Go back to cinema/journalism school and actually pay attention to the instructor this time.

The town has over 52000 people what is she nuts! I was waiting for her to say everyone knows everyone! 52000 people isn't a small town like she makes it out to be. Where I live in Canada 52600 people is a city! I don't know what she's comparing it too but lady it's not small.

I thought the documentary was well done. I don't agree with the town justice system using the boys as examples for future crimes. I do agree they should of got jail time for their crime but I don't agree with them being charged with murder and 55 years sentence.

Old enough to know the difference between right and wrong. Weed? Smoked my share like most teenagers do. Right of passage, goes with the territory. Never found me or my friends committing home invasion robberies. That is like a rape. Life changing. Invading the sanctity of someone's home? That's a forever trauma, never goes away. Then additionally having to live with the guilt of killing a child? 21 is still a child. If you've got one or been one, you know. Again, Never goes away. And this waste was just getting started in his criminality. Somebody died. PFFFT. When did we start deciding that it was beneficial to our children's upbringing to not hold them appropriately accountable for their actions? Ask the hiccup girl in FL if she knows about felony murder laws? There is a reason most states have them.

Dont be to quick to blame these young boys parents and or homelife Get a grip people...yes they deserve to be punished but 50+ yrs.. The thought of what goes on behind those walls is joke.. For those that say the deserve it all!!!! Guess what ...they will never be the same when they are relished, or if the make it out....barbaric.

Someone please tell me the name of the inmate singing, his voice is so captivating! I seriously NEED his music in my life. I wish he could sing to me sleep every night 🌙

Well done documentary, very moving. You may not necessarily like the people in the documentary, but I feel like this case was used to make an example out of those young men, not address their actual crimes.

No good kids that get high all day deuce to rob someone's house. yes, ROB...taking someone's hard earned money and items. And we are suppose to feel sorry them? NOPE!

This doc is about a bunch of lowlife people. From the criminals, to the family and friends. Whether someone was killed during the break in or not. They were all destined for jail or prison eventually. Maybe even death! My old hometown is full of families just like these. None of this shocks or surprises me. People do however need to realize, kicking someone's door in. Is something you should never ever do! In the end they all got what they deserved!
