It is unfortunate for you young black men to succumb to the system of slavery through our judicial system. My sons are in this category. I was a single mother. They had love, support and guidance. I tried being their role model by going to school and getting off welfare. I got a job working as a civil servant for over 27 years. But, this didn’t prove to inspire them. They started as juveniles going in and out of the justice system. My youngest son was sentenced in the late 90’s to Life Without for a murder where there was no evidence that he was involved in this. They took the word of a Confidential Informant that supposedly saw my son with one of the guys earlier in the evening. This guy’s keys was left at the scene of the crime. But by us being poor, we coud not effectively appeal this decision. I know he wishes he had listened when I was telling him to go to school and stay out of the justice system. I have told him to see if he can get a pardon from President Obama when he leaves office. It may be a long shot, but he was convicted on his prior record with no evidence he was involved in this. My son says he is innocent of this charge.

I believe the reason for incarceration is clear and it is for the purposes of legal slavery. Although at this time our President is working toward placing check and balances, those that are in authority know their motive is to gain cheap labor and will do what is required to keep it! Government has always been big in the life of individual citizens. So why not create limits for corporations? Also, without it, the the United States is taking the long way toward communism for the Republic of healthcare and Walmart. LOL… not funny but that is how I feel sometimes. What can I do to help advocate for change?

You are so right Judge Mathis…. The parents needs to take some of this blame. It’s sad! But if a kid have on one like I did they will mess up. Drop out of school and or get pregant. I feel that it should be partly both the child (depending on age) and the parents faults. You just keep on doing what you can to help and I promise at least 2 out of 5-6 kids will change. You are a great person with a beautiful sprit and heart. Keep up the good work…

If the tree is alive. The owner should not be responsible. If the tree is dead, he should be responsible.

Judge Mathis why don’t you use the abailment theory. An abailment frome my understanding is if you let someone use your car and they do not bring it back the way you gave it to them, they are responsible. Regardless of who’s fault it was, they can sue the person that damaged it. But they are responsible to you regardless of what happened barring normal wear and tear. Please reply. Is the law that different from judge to judge?

Comment on SHAME ON HAITI CRITICS by dynot319

it seems like a small thing, but I’m so glad i purchased the ‘hope for Haiti’ album on I-tunes. I selfishly got a lot of good music I was looking for, and hopefully added a drop to the proverbial bucket towards the amount needed for the Haitians right now.
and it just hurts the ability of some to feel nothing and kick those who are down like you said…makes me want to buy the album again.

Thank you for speaking out Judge Mathis. It seems to be very popular in America to be openly bigoted. I am 59 years old and was born Alabama during segregation . . . I have witnessed many, many changes in America, but this blatant hatefulness in America today is chilling.
