the streets. they had a great way of doing it. solomon says while he was away in the military, his young son fell in with the wrong child. they find a weakness to the child. once they introduce him to alcohol then gave him more alcohol. and then from that point they gave him rereefer. then they put something in the reefer and next thing you know he has a habit. i didn t find out that he had a habit that dealt with a little cocaine. prosecutors allege that carlton jr. was one of three men involved in the murder of a woman. the victim s brother was assaulted but survived and later identified solomon from a mug shot. if found guilty, solomon could be executed. i don t believe that my son has the capability to do something like that. i just don t believe it. i don t believe my son would get a gun and point at somebody and
you do everything you re supposed to do, but you never know. even right now i still don t know. i went off to the military. somewheres down the line, some things shifted in his life. how it shifted, i don t know. why it shifted, i still don t know. i wasn t in the present. but some things have changed with him. but he s my son. he is my son. right or wrong, he s still going to be my son. i know my dad knows in his heart that i ain t no killer. i know he knows that. i just really want to talk to him. that s the worse thing in my mind is having my dad think that. carlton sr. couldn t meet with his son, in a few days he will return to visit him. with carlton jr. denied bail, it could be years before he touches
i know, i know. it s like being in captivity. i know it sucks. it s just a modern form of slavery. everything is based upon the past. i there will be lock up and searches 15, 20, 30 times. 30 . i don t want my son harassed and bothered. i don t want my son pushed on a car and people searching him for nothing. i don t want that. carlton sr. acknowledges his son s problems with both the law and drugs, he believes young black men are unfairly subjected to racial profiling. carlton has been more or less searched some 30 plus times. i couldn t understand why.
it s not only carlton and his own children, he looks out for other kids. i talked to your boy. for you anytime. i know you re a good dad and look out for him. my son has been accused of a horrific crime. i m here supporting my son not to find out what s going on, but i need to let him know that his family is here to support him. see my son, carlton. i m a little ashamed that i have to come in this type environment to see my son behind bars. carlton came from a family that don t drink, don t smoke, don t dope. he came from a family who went to church and a family that s independent. i couldn t understand why carlton was drawn to the street. carlton told me that he was bored. carlton was being pulled through
man. okay, okay. well, you know, they ll work the justice system does work. if you re innocent, they ll prove you innocent. for his sake, i hope that it s true because i want to see him live a prosperous life. i talked to him a lot of time about changing his ways. he ll give you that classic smile of his and say, yes, sir. the but then i ll see carlton in trouble again. you got to stop doing this to your dad, man. you putting more and more gray hair on his head. you make a promise, you get out this time, that s it. man, i m going to make a promise. if i get out, i m going to go straight work, straight to home, you know. for real. i got faith in you. shake on that. you can tell deep inside he is a good person. i want him to learn from his mistakes and make his dad proud. today, solomon s father, carlton sr., has come to the jail to visit his son. hey, stranger. how you doing? been a long time, long time.
