Joseph as a person exempting this one situation is an outstanding person.

Outstanding friend, son, uh, outstanding pillar for his family.

Adverbs of degree

He would give up the little that he has just to help somebody else.

And I think it takes a humble person to be able to do that.

When you think about that word kidnapping and you think about what it entails, it doesn't fit Joseph at all.

The thought of him going to jail blows my mind.

There's nothing intimidating about him at all.

And now he's gonna have to suffer for 12 to 15 years.

Everything I don't I can't imagine prison No, with anybody crying right now, because it's just me.

Anybody feel that that's the power of these films.

Plug in the numbers, give him a guideline sentence and be done with it.

And so Mr Do Ruth, the young kid who was head over heels in love with a girl, there's a huge family rift, he snapped, supposedly kidnapped her, had a weapon and transported across state lines.

So he's facing these massive, terrible, ugly charges, right?

A rookie mistake would be to pick an image that was on the nose like maybe show a jail sales.

Instead, they made the choice to show him a little bit younger Spider Man T shirt, that kind of thing.

And the judge is looking at that kid saying that could be my own kid.

So this was the one that the guidelines sends Was 135 months.

Yeah, I was very excited that the film was selected for the festival.

Quite frankly, I wasn't sure that it was It was good enough.

I helped with the editing and because I knew the judge, you know, I felt like I could help pick and choose what I thought might be effective for him.

First of all, it's a weird experience being on this side of the camera, cause I'm usually on that side of the camera, and it's also a weird experience, having to sort of pull back the curtain on what we do in these training sessions because there is, like a, I guess, a little bit of secret sauce.

I mean, the reality of it is this isn't your typical sentencing film festival.

This is the way we teach lawyers how to do this.

It's just a nontraditional learning session.

I'm not exactly sure what time it is now, but I'm pretty sure it's wine o'clock.

Go and pour yourself a glass and let's have some fun and get started.

One of the ideas behind it is the old stories and pulled the same characters.

They usually just yet average Joe in the beginning because the audience has to relate to.

Then they gained wisdom and power to solve that conflicts.

All right, so that's the stages those air the characters.

Now let's see if we can make this practical toe what we d'oh the rookie mistake.

When we do these movies is to just slap someone on a couch and do a parade of talking heads.

Juvenile Justice System failed when it came to Chris.

Child Protective Service is wasn't there to save him?

I think we both was just trying to survive.

The way we really get to the heart of the matter is through pictures, right?

That's what transports us into the world of empathy.

And here, the fact that he was so devoted to his family it meant something.

Maur, the doctor says She's 50 50 because of kidney was already ruptured, and the poison was already leaking into her body.

I was desperate, but I just hope that someone understands why I did it.

I'm only human and try to understand that we all fall short from time.

That was him and his dad's music in there, which is absolutely brilliant.

And more importantly, it was absolutely integrated into the story, right?

So this is a story of an explanation of why this crime happened.

His wife, the love of his life, had taken ill.

He had this transitory possession of a weapon.

He made a small amount of money, and now he's in a heap of trouble.

So the government's arguing for 33 months sentence three years probation.

It's really emotional watching these videos, and these films air real good representation of the real America.

The people that we represent are living their lives in this America that most people don't see and don't think about.

And so our job is not to go for sympathy.

Oh, they've had such a hard life for me that never gets us anywhere.

Anybody who's been in our system and live these cases know that what's happening now is complete and utter bullshit.

There have been hundreds and hundreds of people have been convicted in court beyond a reasonable doubt.

They're in its I don't know what how to stop.

Son was likely the other human beings, so they deserve a little bit more consideration than our sentencing chart pulled out of.
