one white man found Johnson guilty of first degree murder,
guilty of conspiracy to commit first degree murder, and guilty
of being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun.
The jury deliberated for four hours before they convicted him,
And I can't believe it took that low. Okay, they
(00:48):
must have been there talking about why did he had
a thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant? All the
food they had and there must have been phenomenal and
they got to talking and eating because it's no way.
It took them four hours to convict this man. But
let's go to news Channel three for the report.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Please, we asked you to remember the man who enjoyed
being a father, has spent.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
A time with his family. Carlisa Brown, young Dolph's sister,
applauding the verdict while facing the realization so never see
her brother again.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I can't say that we're happy, we're overjoyed, anything like that,
but it's the start of process being served for someone
who we lost. That was some of everything to some
of everyone.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
The jury deliberating for four hours this afternoon, finding Justin
Johnson guilty on all charges in the murder of the
Memphis Rapper, a decision coming nearly three years after Dolph
was gutting down at a cookie shop. As a thirteenth
juror our firmed this verdict pass to the first degree murder.
I said that you to life in prison.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
It's got to be a bittersweet, right because you know,
on one hand, you're glad justice is being serving, these
guys are getting life in prison, but yes, young Dolph
is never coming back, so it's got to be a bittersweet. Now,
Justin Johnson and this co defendant, the admitted gunman, Cornelius Smith,
fired shots into Makita's homemade butter cookies on Airways Boulevard.
During the trial, Cornelius testified that he and Justin Johnson
(02:06):
carried out what was supposed to be one hundred thousand
dollars hit on Young Dolph. Both gunmen were supposed to
receive forty thousand dollars each for the murder.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And then where was the other ten going? Lauren?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
There was twenty thousand going to the goat. What's the
guy's nest with the twenty to ten ten ten? So
ten from Justin, ten from Cornelius was going to the
guy that set.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It up, Okay, but that didn't happen.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
According to Cornelias Smith, they only ended up with eight
one hundred dallas. Let's go to Fox twenty six Houston
for the details please.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
The trial is shooting death of rapper Young Golf in
Memphis began with a major bombshell Monday. Cornelia Smith confessed
in court, admitting to shooting the rapper, whose real name
was Adolph Thornton Junior, outside of Memphis cooking shop in
November twenty twenty one. Smith says he and Justin Johnson
were promised forty thousand dollars each to complete the job
(03:01):
by Dolph rival big joke. He says he only got
a fraction of that payout, only eight hundred dollars out
of the forty thousand promise.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Eight hundred dollars, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Cornelia Smith admitted his role in killing Dolphin, said he
felt no emotions over it at the time because he
was addicted to drugs and was looking forward to collecting
his forty thousand dollars pay day, which of course he
never got, and prosecutors argued that the plan was for
Justin Johnson to secure a record deal for the murder.
Think about what we're talking about here, two black men
going to prison forever for killing well, for killing another
(03:37):
black man for not a damn thing. Yes, I said,
for not a damn thing, because they didn't have no
personal beef with Dolph. Dolf didn't do anything to them.
They were just hit him in for hire. This was
all business to them, and they were willing to crash
out and not only throw their life away for some
money and a potential record deal, but they were also
willing to take a life for some money and a
potential record deal. This is why people have to learn
(03:59):
to love themselves else. Your first, last, and best love
is self love. And if you don't have self love,
it is impossible for you to love someone else. How
could you see the value and another person's life if
you don't see no value in your own? And I
know someone out there is probably thinking, Uncle Charlotte, what
you mean Dolf got killed for nothing? Forty thousand dollars
in a record deal is something. Let me be the
first to tell you. If that's your mindset, calling the
(04:20):
breakfast club right now, give me your name and address
so I can tell law enforcement where you at so
they can come pick you up. Okay, they need to
come pick you up right now. No amount of money,
no record deal, is worth you throwing your life away
and taking a life. Okay, that's what Justin Johnson got.
Sent us to life forever, endlessly. All right, Justin Johnson,
(04:42):
you are never coming home. Do people not understand what
that means? When someone says you get in life, that
means it's over whatever hopes and dreams, whatever creature comforts
you had in the outside world. If you like women,
it's over done for Nieto and for what, As I
just said, absolutely, Look, I know times it's hard out here,
but there's no amount of money worth my freedom not
(05:04):
to mention.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And I know some of y'all, like.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
These brothers you know, are probably saying yourself what they
You know, I ain't got nothing to live for, they
ain't had nothing to live for. Well, let me ask
you a question. Isn't just living enough? Why do we
take for granted the blessing called life. Somebody woke up
there this morning and they didn't want to die because
they had plans today. So why don't we value just
being alive? Goes back to what I just said about
(05:28):
self love. If you simply valued being alive, if you
simply valued your life, if you simply value just taking
a breath, being able to breathe, then you would value
the lives of others. And nobody could offer you some
money or a record deal in exchange for taking the
life of someone else. Now I was looking at Shade
Room and I saw a post from the account of
Justin Johnson. I'm assuming, I'm assuming this is a real account. R.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Laura.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
That's what it was being reported as I didn't report it,
so I thought it was I didn't go ahead.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Well, it says these n words taking criminal responsibility. I'm
taking screet response regardless. I'm forever the biggest. They can
throw away the keys before I ever eat the cheese.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
That's so stupid.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Now, I don't speak fluent nigga like I used to,
but I understand the last part. Okay, he's saying they
can lock him away forever before he ever tells all right,
I don't know what he means when he says they
taking criminal responsibility.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I'm taking screet responsibility.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That sounds like one of those dumb ass street codes,
and I hate stupid as screet codes. You know how
in video games we would enter a cold and it
would take us to another level or.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Give us more lives.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well, screet codes are the opposite of video game colds.
They don't take you to any higher levels, and you
only get one man in this game called life anyway.
So the screet code be like up, up, down, down, left, right,
select start, dumbnygro you going to prison forever, are probably
gonna die, and guess what you earned it?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Okay, your uncle Sharlat tells you all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Life is about choices, the decisions, we make shape our lives.
Destiny is not a matter of chance, It's a matter
of choice. Guys like Justin Johnson and Cornelia Smith chose
the direction of their lives simply by making a bad choice.
And it saddens me that we live in an era
with so much information, access to so many resources. We
have numerous examples of where certain choices lead us, and
(07:10):
yet we have brothers like Justin Johnson and Cornelia Smith
who are still choosing to do the wrong thing and
for absolutely nothing. Please let rimy ma give Justin Johnson
the biggest he hall.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
He ha, he ha, you stupid mother?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Are you dumb?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
And it feels like these should be teachable moments, but
I don't know if people are actually learning because we
always find ourselves right back here, yes, right.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I just don't understand why post the statement like, if
you're gonna stand on that, you want to, you know
what I mean, take your time, take it, be quiet
and take it like, but why post that? There's people
hurting behind that?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
And I'm gonna tell you something else. Slutor my man
Shaka Sinh call Man shakasinh calls is a good friend
of mine, great brother. Uh he posted Under the post
that the young man posted, he said, as someone who
served nineteen years, I can say those sentiments will vanish
within a couple of days. Reality will set in and
he is going to be in for a sad awakening.
I have never, and I mean never met someone in
(08:09):
prison who was happy to be there. I have never
met someone who killed someone that doesn't wish they could
take that thirty seconds back. If you are living that
street life, I hope you take this moment to realize
how you are being used. When that prison number is
handed out, it won't be given to your mommy, your homies,
or whoever you thought was riding with you. Once that
door slams shut, it's all on you from there. Shaka
Sinh call you ain't never lie, my brother, never lie
(08:32):
