Reckless Indifference Video

http://www.choicesvideo.net
Emmy-winning director William Gazecki (WACO: The Rules Of Engagement) delivers a searing indictment of the American legal system in this tragic story of teens, drugs and murder. Reckless Indifference explores how California's controversial felony murder rule unjustly changed the lives of four teenagers forever.

After participating in a backyard brawl which resulted in the death of a LAPD officer's son, the ensuing trial led to life without parole sentences for the accused, even though the evidence against them was not clear-cut. Ten years have passed and they are still behind bars, though an appeal is pending.

With revealing interviews from legal expert Alan Dershowitz, family members on both sides, and an exclusive recent interview with Brandon Hein from his jail cell, Reckless Indifference gives viewers an inside look into a trial that earned national attention but failed to bring justice to those involved.

@freedomisfromtruth

Yeah, drug dealer guy was made out to be a 'hero"; he could be prosecuted for his testimony; bull, the guy had already made a deal for immunity.That&the whole "gang" thing; relying on the jury's prejudices around that word; the prosecution was so amoral and skewed on so many levels.

It's always very sad when a very young person dies, when(s)he have hardly started to live, but to give all 4, even the most guilty boy, a charge of,in essence, first degree murder is so wrong!

Vicitim's father was out for revenge. I'm sure if his son, who was known to carry & wield a knife, had been the one to pull out a knife&stab someone to death, the father would have called it self-defense.What a travesty of justice;there are two systems of law in the US, one for the powerless&one for the powerful. Kids, don't be fools w/ your lives. Stay away from other kids into drugs and harmless or not, marijuana IS illegal, & it can lead to an incident out of proportion to intent.

@lilcrazie909 moron...the reason why this case is seen as a tragedy, aside from the terrible injustice behind it, is bc this kid's family and friends did everything in their power to raise support and awareness...when niggers and spics get arrested, their families, if they even have them, just sit on their asses and don't put in any effort to correct any potential injustice

but please point out a case where a minority got a life sentence for a crime committed, and admitted to, by another

Hey Dork, the drug dealer got immunity, that was hidden from jury, he should have been prosecuted too. If the victim was from a regular working class family, the guys would get slapped on the wrist. You only do the time when your not connected.

Average family of working people take note: everybody created equal does not apply to family of civil employees, they are special, flipside is their kids can also commit crimes and they wont be prosecuted. Learn and memorize.
