order in the court [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey everybody i'm david writings thanks for joining us police and the police live on stand against dark blue facebook and youtube be sure to comment on this video like this video share this video with somebody you love unless we'll just get right into it so tonight we're going to be talking about the daniel hambrick case in nashville tennessee officer andrew delke shocked a lot of of the local public with a guilty plea this past week to voluntary manslaughter um i can well it may not have shocked everybody i can tell you it shocked me i don't second-guess the decision of attorneys and doing something like that but i i was surprised by it so i'm going to show you a couple of videos tonight and then we're going to just talk about it we're going to see i want to i want to know what you think i wanna know uh if you agree with one the plea deal itself two with uh officer delkey's decision former officer delkey's decision to actually plead guilty and not go to trial and then i want to see how you feel about the victim impact statement that we're going to watch here in just a minute so for those of you that don't recall what this case is about uh back in 2018 daniel hambrick was um in the parking lot of a an apartment complex and officer delkey pulls in he's on patrol he had seen a vehicle that aroused his suspicion earlier and he'd lost sight of the vehicle he pulls into the parking lot of this apartment complex and sees a vehicle that's similar but not the same and as he pulls into the parking lot daniel hambrick takes off running as he's running away the officer notices that he's got a firearm the allegation was that that daniel hambrick kept turning with the firearm and and gesturing back toward the officer and and that's why the officer ultimately took a stance and um and used deadly force i'm gonna show you the video uh that originally started everything and then we're gonna get into the plea and we're gonna talk about the plea deal itself and and what the specifics were because it is a little different than some of the i'm a criminal defense attorney and you know i used to be a police officer as well and on this channel we just we break things down we talk about them uh you know we when we find the police doing something wrong we'll shine a light on it when we find the police doing something right we'll shine a light on it so this is one of those situations that i'm interested to hear uh what you actually think and i'm trying to find a chart here which i thought i had but apparently i don't so give me just a minute and i will push play on this video here we're gonna look first at the actual event that led to the charges here we go and as usual this is this video is graphic and can be upsetting to some people so i'm going to stop it and just back up just a little bit you'll notice in this footage um it's the middle of the day and you'll see at the top of your screen this is daniel hambrick running around the corner and he'll be followed quickly by the police officer he has a firearm in his right hand you can see he gestures back he actually motions back with the gun there and the officer takes a position and fires and as he's firing actually there's another video where they slow down and look at frame by frame and when you're going to monday morning quarterback something you you at least ought to put yourself in the position of the police officer and determine whether or not he he reasonably felt in fear this officer said that as he took the stance uh daniel hambrick motioned back with the firearm and that's when he fired the shot and you can see here it appears from this blurry footage that he does and that he did just that that he motioned back with the firearm and officer delkey fired officer delke actually fired four times hitting uh daniel hambrick three of the four and you'll hear a little bit more about that in the statement from this from the state as they enter in into this plea agreement in a few minutes and um and then we'll watch the victim impact statement from the mother and and i just i'm curious what you think i'm not going to criticize her she's in mourning she's grieving the loss of her son and i i haven't lost a son to a police officer so i can't really say that i know how she feels i don't um hey angel thank you very much for sharing be sure to share this video like angel just did and uh i was on yesterday i was gone all last week uh we were in montana and white water rafting and going up the mountains and out of cell service and we had a great time and we're back this week so you can always catch the show it's it's live every week night somewhere in the eight o'clock hour typically now we're gonna start trying to do them a little bit earlier in the evening but if you miss it live you can always go back and watch it so i appreciate you joining us angel so let's take a look at the well i don't want to get to that yet let me show you a different um heart stopping video release not that heart stopping video i want to show you a different footage from the plea agreement that was made and we'll join the court as it as it convenes um share this video file sorry i'm doing this without a producer so it takes me a minute to get everything in order so this is the this is actually the courtroom in davidson county uh it's division five which is judge monty watkins and i will say um i practice in nashville i practice in front of all of these judges and i practice in front judge watkins he's a very fair judge he's a very reasonable man and he's a very patient man and you can see that in in several exchanges as we'll be watching here in just a minute um how patient he really is so let's just get into it well i'll let you watch it and then we'll stop and we'll talk about the plea deal itself but they will announce what the plea is if you recall officer uh andrew delke was charged with first-degree murder i don't know if you remember or if you followed it in the early stages but he they they sought a warrant through the commissioner originally and one of the commissioners denied the warrant he said there wasn't probable cause he didn't feel like that officer delkey had committed a crime and he wouldn't sign the warrant and then they went to a general sessions judge i'm told one of the judges refused to do it and then they finally found a judge judge mondelli mondeli did issue the warrant and found that they had shown probable cause probable cause is a really low standard it's just a crime was probably committed and you probably committed it if you can show those two things they'll issue a warrant against you it's really easy to get a warrant against you in tennessee actually in this country it's very easy to get arrested and have a warrant issued against you in this case they had a preliminary hearing and the case was bound over to the grand jury and the grand jury issued an indictment for first degree murder the trial was scheduled to begin on july the 12th and everybody that i knew was planning on it going forward i was planning on attending i wanted to you know cover the trial and and i was interested in watching the trial and was really surprised when i learned that there was a plea arrangement entered so let's watch the video and we'll stop it occasionally and i'll i'll comment on some of the things that you may or may not know [Music] this article court i'm going to be watching resign please be seated all right good morning everybody i understand uh well this is only case we have on the dock in the state of tennessee versus anthony i understand that we have an agreement in this matter that's correct are we ready to proceed yes all right if you have your client and the component yes all right [Music] on the over i'm gonna ask you a series of questions i want you to understand the answer any of those questions untruthfully you could in charge of first you understand it all right on behalf of the family the attorneys for the family and the general public we're going to ask you advance when you reject this this plea deal we know that you have the power we know that you know the case and we're asking you as your citizens citizens of this community judge monty watkins that you reject this agreement okay well thank you for your comment that's uh kendall coyle is the right thing to do all right so that's a really unusual occurrence it's not normal for the victim in the case to be represented by separate counsel first of all sometimes you'll have separate counsel involved in civil cases and but the victim in this case is represented by the state of tennessee which is the district attorney's office glen funk glenn funk was about to tell what the deal was um to the judge and explain what the terms of the agreement were going to be and the attorney for the family who represents the family in the civil case which by the way they were awarded 2.5 million dollars in a settlement agreement a lot of money not gonna lie but not near this the scale of money that has recently been awarded in other similar cases for example in the george floyd trial it was 27 million dollars and i believe well multiple millions double-digit millions and and some recent cases that are similar in nature so it was on the low end of the scale but it wasn't a trial it was an agreed upon settlement so they didn't have to agree with it they could have taken it to trial if they wanted to but they did agree with it and then they complained about it being not enough so um there's not enough money in the world to compensate me for the loss of my son so i'm i'm not i'm not criticizing the family in this case but it is a little disingenuous to agree with the settlement offer from you know from the city and then complain that it wasn't as much as the george floyd settlement so i'm just saying but let's listen to what the terms of the agreement made by the state of tennessee actually was and then we'll get into the plea thank you well you will get that opportunity ma'am and i appreciate you being here you will get an opportunity to speak okay so that was the mother of daniel hambrick she steps up and she says she wanted to say something and and he cordially said you know he appreciated her being there but she's not going to speak right now but she will get a chance to speak and you'll get to see that in a few minutes so i'll be interested to hear what you think all right judge the agreement of the parties is that the defendant andrew duffy won a guilty plea to defense of voluntary manslaughter he will be sentenced to a three-year sentence of incarceration he will waive any rights to appeal he will waive his right the ability to ask for probation he is submitting a letter today to inform the parole board pursuant to this agreement that he is not going to be seeking to be paroled he is going into custody today from the courtroom he is also as part of this agreement submitted his resignation to the metro national police department effective yesterday that is the agreement of the parties okay so that was another unusual thing not it's not unusual for somebody to wave their right to probation and agree to serve the sentence and it's and it's not unusual for a sentence to be to be served like that it is unusual for the agreement to include your inability to be paroled or not your inability to be pro but your lack of desire to be paroled and to write a letter to the pro board saying that you do not wish to be paroled a three-year sentence in this situation would be what's called a range one offender which means he's got no prior record and it's a 30 sentence which means you're eligible for parole at 30 of the sentence which means if you get a three-year sentence you're eligible for parole around about a year and i'm not saying he would have been paroled in this case uh greetings melanie from bedford county i saw you log in just a minute ago thanks for watching and i appreciate you joining us not to say that he would be paroled but he could very well have been paroled and he still can i mean he writes a letter saying he's not going to seek parole but if they give him parole he's not going to not take it um he's not likely to get paroled based upon the the terms of this agreement that we just heard but the family doesn't like this deal they don't like it at all they wanted to go to trial i understand why they wanted their day in court but really truly this is not the same case as the george floyd case this is a case where an officer was chasing somebody with a firearm george floyd in my opinion george floyd didn't resist at all i watched that video a thousand times watched the almost the entire trial um george floyd in my opinion was was if anything passively uh resistant to getting in the car he wasn't resisting a rest but that's a story for another video and we've done the videos on that so i'm not going to get back into the george floyd thing but this case is different this gentleman had a firearm and you can see on this video on a couple of different versions of the video that the man turns with the gun in the direction of the officer he never fires but i've been in that situation before and it's unnerving to be chasing somebody with a firearm and have them spin around on you i was you know i'd been on the street less than six months in nashville i was a police officer in another city but when i came to nashville within six months of being on the streets while i was still on probation and riding with a with a what we call an mpo we happened upon a carjacking and i chased the man he had a gun he kept turning around and pointing the gun at me he was trying to shoot me but the gun was jammed and he couldn't get it to work we were in a crowd of about 200 people in the parking lot of a crystal on um gallatin road in inglewood at 11 30 or 12 at night and you can imagine the parking lot was packed with people not just not in cars but people and we were pushing our way through this crowd so it's unnerving to chase somebody with a gun and have them pointed at you and you not you know take a a position of deadly force i couldn't because of the crowd i would have definitely would have shot that man had we not been in a crowd of people and i'm just glad that he didn't shoot me but in this particular instance this could have gone to trial and a jury could have looked at it and said no i don't think that was murder if that would have happened then the family would have been upset that the judge didn't accept this deal so you never know what a jury's gonna do you never you never know how a jury is going to view what you feel very personal about and very passionate about i've been in lots of jury trials that i really thought the jury should have done one thing or the other and they did something that i wasn't expecting and that happens a lot so you just have to be aware of that and that's why we have plea bargains that's why we have that's why most cases don't go to trial because both sides don't know what a jury is going to do if the if the if the district attorney had taken this case to trial and lost it it would have been the end of his career hands down he wouldn't have recovered from that and so that had to be weighing heavy on the side of the state to resolve this case and alternatively if andrew delke had gone to trial and lost like derek chovin did he could be spending the rest of his life in prison so you have to understand the different degrees of homicide in tennessee to understand whether or not this was a reasonable deal so tennessee has a felony chart that they determine the length of time that you will serve if you get convicted of a felony first degree murder is actually off the chart the chart goes from a down to e there's an a felony a b a c a d and an e a is the worst and e is the least severe of the felonies an a felony is second degree homicide secondary homicide carries between 15 and 25 years [Music] for a range one offender and there are some special circumstances with capital crimes that i won't get into and a first degree murder is is considered a capital offense and so it can be life with parole life without parole or they could seek the death penalty then you have what's called voluntary manslaughter voluntary manslaughter is what we call a sea felony and it carries between three years and six years incarceration or probation or a combination of the two if you're a first offender then you have reckless homicide and negligent homicide reckless is the d and negligent homicide is an e so believe it or not you can be convicted of murder of negligent homicide murder and get between one year and two years in prison we had the murder trial in sumner county where the the defendant was charged with shooting her husband when he was asleep the jury found her not guilty of first degree not guilty of second degree not guilty of voluntary manslaughter but guilty of reckless homicide and the judge sentenced her to four years because that was the range two to four and the judge in sumner county gave her the top of the range as he always does and so she got four years to serve for killing her husband when he was asleep so and it wouldn't be unusual for a jury to look at this case and say yeah i think he did something wrong but i think he was reckless so maybe we'll give him reckless homicide which would have been two to four years or maybe we'll give him voluntary manslaughter which would have been three to six years and then he'd have a sentencing hearing and the judge would actually determine what sentence would be served but nobody knows what's going to happen in a jury trial and you can't you can't discount the need for plea bargains because they're necessary as as much as they hate this guy getting three years and they wanted him to serve the rest of his life in prison that just wasn't realistic and the d.a took the opportunity and the defense took the opportunity and said this is probably what a jury would do it might be less than what we really want on the state side and more than we really want to do on the defense side but we're going to meet in the middle and we're going to agree to the three-year sentence and not ask for parole and that kind of thing so that's that's what they did and we'll watch a little bit of his plea and then i'm going to show you the victim impact [Music] statement all right i have uh prescription medications only your honor all right uh i'll i'll inspire a little bit more about that do you think that you understand what you're doing here yes honor yes your honor dude are you suffering from any known health issues no no your honor okay all right so i don't know if you heard that that was the mother saying you're a damn lie um she thinks that he's got some mental health issues which actually would not be good for the state's case if he had mental health issues that's actually a defense in some cases extreme cases can be a defense to homicide now he's not obviously mentally ill to the extent that he couldn't face trial but there's there's no surprise that this man has some depression issues at this point and some anxiety issues at this point and probably is on a a handful of medications from a scot from a psychiatrist no question the question should be from the judge are those medici are those medicines working to address your mental health issues and are you in your right mind and can you understand what's going on here today and do you agree that everything that's happening is your is your choice basically so they do ultimately get to that i'm not going to go through this whole plea deal um but i am going to show you what happens after the the state reads the charges and after the the plea gets entered and and before the judge actually accepts it and then show you what happens when the mother speaks you're represented by counsel have you been able to communicate with your attorneys and are you satisfied with your representation yes your honor i am you were originally charged in this matter with first degree murder as that charge and range of punishment been explained to you it has your honor yes all right you're entering a plea to voluntary manslaughter a felony which will be under records you do understand the charge and convicted of any other felony in the future this conviction today can be used to increase the punishment of any futures on felony offense you should understand yes your honor all right you have a constitutional right to a jury trial as well as a right to persistent and not guilty plea by giving you this plea today you're giving up awaiting those rights understand that yes your honor if you had gone to trial you have the right to cross-examine witnesses through your attorney so he goes through the rights here and basically makes sure that the defendant understands that he has the right to go to trial and to persist in a not guilty plea and that he's voluntarily waiving those rights to enter into this into this plea agreement and then we're going to hear a brief statement from the state about what actually occurred and so let's listen to that because i thought that was interesting as well all right thank you the honor if this case were to go to trial when this case was set for trial the state's proof would have been that on thursday july 26th the defendant andrew delke shot daniel hambrick in the back three times this shooting was not reasonably necessary and mr hambrick died from the gunshot wounds on that day andrew dilke the defendant was an officer with the metro nashville police department on the newly assigned juvenile crimes task force his charge on that day as a part of the task force was to look for stolen vehicles and certain known juvenile offenders while patrolling an area in and around 37208 zip code in north nashville the defendant stopped at a stop sign at 10th avenue north and ponder place shortly thereafter a white four-door chevrolet impala stopped at the stop sign at 10th avenue north and kellow street the defendant became suspicious when the impala stopped at the stop sign after him but conceded the right-of-way to him by not pulling in front of him when the the vehicle finally did not pull out onto 10th avenue north the defendant i'm sorry when it when it did finally pull out the defendant followed behind it he then ran the license plate and learned that the impala was not a stolen vehicle nevertheless he continued to follow the car to see if he could develop a reason to stop it at that time he was not able to see who the driver was nor could he see the race or gender of the driver after some time the defendant turned on his blue light says the impala turned on to i-65 south of the rosa parks boulevard the apollo did not pull over the defendant follow the defendant begin to engage engage in a pursuit of the vehicle but not at high speed he continued from a friend from a distance he observed the vehicle exit i-65 south and turn right onto charlotte avenue he lost track of the impala shortly thereafter he was still never able to see the driver of the impala or determine how many people were inside the vehicle he then drove through nearby neighborhoods looking for it he pulled into an apartment parking lot after seeing a different white four-door sedan turned into that parking lot not the impala he was looking for he pulled into the lock quickly and stopped near another white sedan several individuals were in the area as he pulled up a man who was later determined to be daniel hamburg began to ruin the defendant immediately began a foot pursuit yelling commands for mr hamburg to stop he did not know the identity of daniel hambrick at that time he did not know if daniel had with certainty if daniel hamburg was connected to the white sedan that he had misidentified nor did he know if mr hamburg was connected to the impala that he was looking for or any vehicle in that parking lot the defendant chased mr hambrick through the parking lot towards joe johnson as mr hambrick near joe johnson he the defendant saw that mr hamburg had a gun in his hand the two continued to run west parallel to joe johnson as he gave several commands including stop drop the gun and drop the gun in our or i'll shoot when mr kent hamburg continued to run away and did not drop the gun the defendant decided to use deadly force he stopped he assumed a firing position he aimed his service weapon and then he fired four shots at mr hamburg he was approximately 51 feet away from the defend from mr hambrick when he began to shoot one of the bullets struck mr hambrick in the center of his back and lodged in his spine another pass through mr hambrick's left torso from back to front a third bullet entered the back of mr hambrick's head traveled through his brain and lodged in the front of his skull the fourth bullet missed mr hambrick altogether okay so i thought that was a little much i get that they're not getting their day in front of a jury but this description normally when we enter plea deals the rendition of the state typically takes about 20 or 30 seconds this one could have taken 20 or 30 seconds officer delke pulled up in a parking lot after investigating a car that had run from him without knowing whether this gentleman was involved the gentleman took off and run and ran from the police officer police officer gave chase he noticed the defendant had a gun i'm sorry he noticed that the person he was chasing had a gun and he fired four times at the at the individual striking him three times and killing him you don't have to say where the bullets passed and what they lodged in and that's just for a fact and i i just i don't see the need for it the officer they're claiming the officer illegally fired upon this individual with intent to kill him there are all kinds of degrees of homicide so i'm not going to get into that and i'm not really gonna in my opinion doesn't matter what matters is that andrew delke decided to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter and he took a plea deal that was within the range it was on the low end of the range but it was within the range to serve if he were convicted of a voluntary manslaughter if he were convicted if he'd gone to trial and a jury had found him guilty of voluntary manslaughter the chances of monty watkins giving him six years to serve are very slim the range is three years to six years that's the range three to six the judge can't go outside of that range without other factors being present which we don't have we don't have any reason that the state can enhance the punishment the uh defendant here andrew delke did not have any criminal record and the range of punishment for a voluntary manslaughter was was fixed by the legislature as three to six years that can be completely probation voluntary manslaughter can be completely probatable he can give him three years probation six years probation he can give him a split sentence six years probation with two to serve he can give a number of different uh there's a number of ways that that could be handled in a sentencing hearing so they agreed upon three years and they agreed that it would not be probatable and they agreed that andrew delke would not seek parole and he wrote a letter uh stating that to the parole board and he resigned his position which i thought had he had actually done a long time ago i didn't know that he was still employed that that bothered the family pretty significantly that he was still employed up until wednesday of last week but this goes on and then we'll watch as the mother is allowed an opportunity to speak the medical examiner determined mr hamricks calls the death to be multiple gunshot wounds and that the manner of his death was a homicide all right thank you all right sir you just heard the statement of facts as presented by the assistant district attorney john all those facts are true yes you are all right i understand that you have a statement i do your honor all right can you read your statement yes thank you i am pleading guilty today because i recognize that my use of deadly force was not reasonably necessary under all the circumstances i recognize that what happened on july 26 2018 was tragic mrs hambrick lost her son that day and i am responsible for her loss these are facts that i will have to live with for the rest of my life and no mother should ever have to experience the loss of a child and that a day has gone by that i have not thought about my actions i also recognized that my actions impacted the community and the police department i hope i hope this case can contribute positively to the much needed discussion about how police officers are trained and how we as a community want police officers to interact with citizens i am deeply sorry for the harm my actions cause and i hope that mr hambrick's family will obtain some comfort from my acceptance of responsibility and my guilty pleas today [Music] so that was a good statement um i don't know if he wrote that himself or somebody else wrote it and he just read it or maybe a combination of the two it's probably something that he worked on with his attorneys but it was heartfelt it appeared to me and it well there's no other way to say this it fell on deaf ears they didn't they did not accept his apology and you'll see that in just a minute she does want i believe to make a victim impact statement and so at this point uh this hammer could be like to step up and make a statement to the coil alright choose more than well [Music] over here [Music] your honor miss hambrick has a prepared statement and i will read it on her behalf she may still have a comment afterwards but this is her prepared statement okay my name is vicky hamrick i'm legally blind and i have asked my attorney drake kimbrough to read this statement on my behalf on june 1st 1993 i gave birth to daniel edward hambrick he was my only child and the love of my life daniel recognized at an early age that i had a disability but he was never ashamed of me or embarrassed by me he loved me unconditionally and constantly said that he would always take care of me my son was my eyes since he's been gone things have not been the same and they never will be there is not one hour that goes by that i do not think of daniel even though i have friends and family there is a void in me that cannot be filled so this is what we call a victim impact statement um every victim is allowed to do that at the close of a trial or close sentencing or in in sentencing hearings and things of that nature any time you have a plea deal that's that's very often done i'm going to skip through because at the end of that prepared statement she actually is allowed to make another statement and that's where things kind of go awry it's disrespectful to the family it's disrespectful to the community well this this is the part where uh joy kimbrough actually steps in and after the prepared statement she again asked the judge not to accept the plea and and claims that the way the da's office handled this was was not right and so she goes on to ask the judge not to accept it and and he thanks her for that and moves right away and it isn't warranted the only semblance of any justice she may receive for the three bullets that struck and killed her son she waited the state the district's attorney's office in violation of her rights as a victim did not consult her did not contact her about the plea negotiations they all in secret had to get rid of this case just to get rid of it no one can assaulted her your honor yesterday about 2 30 p.m she found out for the first time that the deal had been done so that's not actually true i mean that's true that she just found out it's not true that it's against the victims rights for the d.a to enter into these negotiations without consulting with the victim the d.a can do whatever they want the the da's office has the full right and authority to prosecute any case that they want or to not prosecute any case that they want they don't have to consult with the victim that is you know it's commonly done they do consult with the victim and ask the victim you know what they want to see done and in this case it was clear that the victims wanted a jury trial and the da's office knew that they probably had some problems with this case and the defense knew they probably had some problems with this case so both sides ended up agreeing to settle the case it happens all the time it's not done in a smoky back room you know over a glass of scotch and a cigar that's not what the da's office did here the da's office carefully negotiated a a plea deal with the defendant in a very high profile case that both parties had concerns about going to trial over if the d.a again had taken this case to trial and lost it it would have been riots in the city it would have been the end of his political career i'm not saying that he entered into this plea negotiation because he was worried about his political career i'm saying that had they gone to trial and a jury done anything but found mr delke guilty then it would have been chaos in the street it would have been rioting in the streets and it would have been a really difficult thing for the da's office to overcome and the victim's family would have been outraged so instead they chose this route now i'm going to skip forward and then we're going to get to the statement from the mother now this mother's just lost her son i say just lost lost her son um you know in 2018 but it's still fresh and every time she has to go to the courtroom she thinks about it and she's bitter and i'm not going to question anybody's walk with jesus she claims to be a christian and i'm not going to question that but i was a little shocked at the victim impact statement here and i think had she taken a different approach here she could be the catalyst for a great deal of healing in this city and in this nation she could be she could be a a very pivotal point in healing between the community and the law enforcement agencies across this nation sorry so let's just watch and see what she says and then i'll just be interested to hear what you've got to say [Music] [Music] okay leave me i can't believe this church i can't believe it i've been going through this for three years i can't believe it yes take your time i lost my mother i lost my grandmother i lost my father father had a stroke he can't believe it because of you because of you i lost my father my son [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] y'all [Applause] [Music] i hate you [Music] you out here [Applause] my [ __ ] well don't care [Applause] [Music] [Music] y'all man [Music] man [Applause] man no don't take me don't touch me man [Music] [Music] well this goes on for a few more minutes and the judge has already left the courtroom and the defendant officer former officer delky left the courtroom but the cameras are still there and rolling so that's why that's why people do this in my opinion they they do it for the effect they do it for well they do it for the show yeah i had not seen that either until i did a little bit of research cindy and welcome to the show thanks for watching appreciate you commenting so it's it's tragic there's no winner here i i think um if the family thinks that it would have been an easy jury trial i think they're mistaken and wow and the tables sure turned on the da's office too because in the beginning it was thank you to the d.a for bringing this charge and you know seeing this through and getting them indicted and all that and now they just hate the d.a i think the d.a turned on them and so the da's office certainly didn't win any points in this with either side the da's office was highly criticized by the police department and by the fop and and by those who who felt like the police officer was doing his job and should not have been charged with first-degree murder and now the family is seeking to unseat him and mention that on the way out that then we'll just have to get him out at the next election i don't know how realistic that is glenn funk is is running again for d.a i'm sure and i have not heard of any um opponent that or at least a legitimate opponent well thank you brother john i appreciate you watching the show and uh well you still know me before i'm famous so uh i made this shirt actually i saw somebody else with one of them and i didn't like the price that they had on them so i went and made it myself born squared well again there are no winners in this one at all and i certainly hate it for the hambrick family i hate it for the delky family i would have liked to have seen this go to trial um that's a little selfish of me but i wanted to i wanted to see the trial i don't know i don't feel as confident as the as the victim's family did here in asking the judge to reject the plea because i'm not as confident that a jury would have found him guilty but nobody will ever know because the judge did ultimately accept the plea um andrew delke has gone to jail and he'll be there for three years maybe maybe a little shy of three years he'll get some good time credits um he could make parole even though he wrote the pro board and told them that he didn't want it but um you know there's no way to know i bet it did again there's no winners there i wish that the mother and the family had taken a little bit different approach and it's easy for me to say and it's just it just sounds judgmental when i say it now so i'm not gonna say anything but again if if she had if she'd come out and said listen i accept your apology and i have the hope of jesus and have the hope of seeing my son again and i don't know what his walk with jesus was but i hope it was i hope he was right with jesus and that that she will see him again and i i guess if i said anything else it would just sound so judgmental that i won't say anything else i'll let the video speak for itself but i'll be interested in your comments comment below think was this the christian way to handle it can you blame her i'd say no on both on both ends there not the christian way but i can't blame her i do too well father in the name of jesus i pray for the hamburg family i pray for the delky family i pray god that they both find peace and and resolution in this god and i pray that you have your hand upon their families give them peace as they go through this process and as they live through the aftermath and i pray for this city i pray for the police i pray for the the community and i pray for the divide that has happened in this country and i pray for the police and the community to come together in jesus name thanks for watching guys we'll be back tomorrow with some more great fun be sure to invite somebody go to uh youtube hit the little bell you know what to do we'll see you tomorrow headed
