Episode 36

Racist Council members won’t go, rapper Gunna denied bail 3rd time, and COs having sex with inmates (EP36)

In this episode 36 of Streets and Scholars with Frank "FG" Thornton and Alex Alonso they discuss: 

1. The clean Chevy Impala low-riders from the video "How to Rob a Rapper". Was it a 1958, a 1959 and a 1962 Chevy Impala? 

 

2. Gil Cedillo and Kevin DeLeon refuse to step down as Los Angeles City Council members, even after the third offender, Nury Martinez vacated her seat last week. Gil Cedillo lost his seat during the June election so he has to leave regardless in December but Kevin Deleon appears to be holding out and community activist are camping out in front of his house until he resigns. Will he leave his $207K per year job? 

 

3. Rapper Gunna (Sergio Kitchens) – was denied bail a third time by Judge Ural Glanville even though he is basing his denial on unsubstantiated claims made by informants. Gunna's attorney Steven Sadow said “We now know for certain that the State’s last-minute assertion at the third bond hearing on October 13 that there was a text message (not disclosed to Kitchens in discovery as the Court had expressly ordered) between two individuals (neither of whom was Kitchens), where one person ‘offered to murder’ another person on Kitchens’ behalf, was undeniably false.” Gunna's attorney filed a motion for a fourth bail hearing. Will Gunna eventually get a bail? 

 

4. The man accused in the murder of rapper PnB Rock was extradited to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, Nevada. Freddie Lee Trone, 40 is in LA custody, in the LA County Jail, but does not have a court date, but he just got there this week and has a $3 million bail .

 

5. Is this Instagram account @goodverbal considered racist? A whistleblower from inside FCI Victorville federal prison, claims that a correctional officer is behind the instagram account, posting taunts and criticisms. Rolland Martin from his show Unfiltered, claims that some of the posts are racist and misogynistic. Tap in and let us know what you think of this Instagram page before it gets removed. 

 

6. Last year the feds indicted 4 employees at Dublin federal prison for women for having unlawful sex with the prisoners. Two COs, the warden and the chaplain are all accused of having sex with multiple female prisoners. James Theodore Highhouse, the chaplain and Ray J Garcia, 55, the warden, have been indicted. CO Ross Klinger has already plead guilty to the charges and is awaiting sentence. This all occurred in 2021, but just last week, a former female inmate, only known as M.L. has filed a lawsuit against the men. Tap in to get the details.
