Awesome show! Great Job!
Oh no!!! 3 KIDS! That’s more than the replacement rate..
Idiocracy!
The poor terrorized bank teller is pleading to keep that thug off the streets for 1 year. Should be at least 5 years for robbing a bank.
Who’s going to pay for the lost business? Customers will be scared to enter and close their accounts. Stress on employees. etc etc.. Suck it up you evil business, the citizens have the right to rob you when they please.
No justice. No wonder business leave.
Cool lawyer though, bad judge
I’m really enjoying the new videos man!
he got off very lightly…wow
thank’s, we really appreciate ur input
hooray for jeff, barrister extraordinaire! kudos for alex, extreme documentarian!
Very nice job Jeff! – Teresa
Daytime Court Shows are typically bullshit, so a real life look into the actual way things work is fucking brilliant. This is ACTUAL reality television, and I was very interested in what I just watched. Good job, mang!
Jeff is my new hero.
i can’t believe i just saw that the new episode was up! jeff is excellent! that guy got off pretty easy for bank robbery, but a year in jail would definitely be brutal. i love this show, can’t wait for the next episode. AWESOME JOB B!
<3 marissa
This was an excellent episode. Man, that guy’s real good! This a great idea Alex. Hope this takes off.
I always wonder if and how the presence of a camera influences those involved.. Great episode!
* * * * *
one year with credit for time served for bank robbery, yeah hes a damn good lawyer.
Great installment! My question would be what motivation does Jeff have to step in and take cases like this? I believe lawyers are required/expected to do a certain amount of pro bono work?
These are great videos!! I can’t wait to see more!!
Hey, I been having a rough time…CAN I ROB A F..KING BANK??? Get the f..k outta here lol! Great episode…
I got in my fair amount of trouble & I do think everyone deserves a second chance but! When you pull a f..king gun out… Hummmmmmmm well you know… (trouble)
the economy’s shot i don’t blame the guy!! nobody will give him a job because of his race!! you have to look both sides before you pass judgement!!
That was a great episode one! Keep them coming!
Hah! Didn’t mean to be short there, but this is a gritty look into the legal system. I was surprised.
Wow….
no ged and 3 kids, now thats a good plan for life,,,,im sick of these fucking idiots,,,,,but guess what , their gonna get free health care,,,along with the illiegals..
