Hello everyone what is happening!
Im your host Ayman Hasan and welcome back to another video here at most amazing top
10.
Now going to jail is something all of us hope we never have to do no matter how old we are.
Although im not sure a 6 year old would even know what going to jail means but just go
with it.
Going to jail is bad enough but imagine you had to grow up in jail, imagine you were 14
and you were put behind bars for life.
Thats just ending your life before it even began right there but thats the case with
alot of people on this list today.
As always guys remember to like and subscribe to the channel if you havent already, and
while youre at it you may as well subscribe to top 10 hindi videos for double the dose
of top 10.
But without further ado, this is the Top 10 Scary Teen Convicts And What They Look Like
Today.
Starting us off with number 10 are Catherine and Curtis Fairchild Jones.
In Melbourne 1999, at 13 and 12 years old Catherine and Curtis became the youngest people
ever charged as adults for first degree murder.
The two shot their fathers girlfriend Sonya and had plans to murder their father and as
well as another male relative for sexually molesting them.
As soon as they had shot her they realised what a huge mistake they had made and they
ran to their neighbours house and said it was an accident Even after evidence of abuse
was found no one did anything, no one believed the two were being abused and they were sent
to jail.
During their trial they never brought up the abuse, nothing about what they had endured
was even mentioned, i mean the man who was abusing them was convicted of sexually assaulting
his girlfriends daughter years prior.
Why was this not brought up by their defence during their trial i have no idea.
Then the justice system failed them and they pleaded guilty to second degree murder and
were sentenced to 18 years and probation for life.
They were both released in 2015 at 29 and 30 years old.
Coming in at number 9 is Atif Rafay and Sebastian Burns.
Funnily enough i knew about this case beforehand because there's a very good netflix docuseries
about different crimes called the Confession Tapes and this was the first case.
Highly recommend but anyway, in Bellevue back in 1994 Atif and his best friend Sebastian
came back to Atifs family's house for the holidays.
All was well until the boys came back from a long night out to discover Atifs parents
and sister brutally murdered and his house a complete mess.
After their murder Atif inherited basically everything his parents had, buying a new car
living a new lifestyle and seemingly not mourning the loss of his family at all.
Police in both the US and Canada suspected the two boys of killing his family in order
to get the money.
They slandered them in the news like there was no tomorrow, branded them as murderers,
and then using the Mr Big technique to extract a confession.
This technique is actually illegal in the US but legal in Canada where it was done,
it involves uncover cops gaining the suspects trust by involving them in illegal activities
and then getting them to confess.
Even with multiple alibis and no physical evidence, the undercover cop kept probing
Burns to confess and he would make it all go away.
Im assuming in the hopes of making his life go back to normal he did confess and later
on so did Atif even though their stories werent the same at all.
Both were found guilty in 2004 of a triple murder and were both sentenced to 3 life sentences
each even though they have been in prison for the past 20 years.
At number 8 is Joshua Smith.
Now in February of 2012, 14 year old Joshua Smith broke into his stepfather Chikos room
and stole his shotgun.
Right after that he started shooting things around the house, Chiko and his daughter were
able to escape his rampage by breaking a window and climbing through.
Joshuas mother Tamiko Robinson was sleeping on the sofa when he shot her around 12-14
times at close range.
And why did he do this you may be wondering?
Because his mother was being a mother.
Thats right.
Joshua started hanging around with the wrong crowd and wanted to join a gang, do drugs,
pop pills, he started coming home at ridiculous hours so Tamiko gave him a curfew and told
him to stop hanging out with these people and thats what triggered him.
He pled guilty to second degree murder and will be in jail for anywhere from 30 to 50
years.
Filling our number 7 slot is Evan Miller.
Now Evans life was hard, by the time he turned 14 in 2003 he had been in and out of foster
care due to his stepfather continuously beating him and his mother abusing drugs and alcohol.
One day he was hanging out with his friends and his neighbour Cannon who also happened
to be one of his mums drug dealers.
After spending most of the night drinking and smoking weed Evan and his friends attempted
to rob Cannon after beating him.
Evan beat him with a baseball bat and then set his trailer on fire and he later died
of from his injuries and smoke inhalation.
When brought to trial his friend was offered life with a chance of parole if he testified
against Evan which he obviously did.
In 2006 Evan was sentenced to life without parole and now at 28 years old he may have
a chance at a retrial but for now hes very much still in prison.
Now at number 6 is Jacob P Ind.
Back in 1992 when Jacob was 15 years old, he killed his mum and stepdad.
After enduring years of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, Jacob hired another older
teen to help him murder his parents.
THen in the morning of december 17th they went to their bedroom where they were fast
asleep and attacked them for 5 whole minutes using various gruesome methods.
Stabbing them, spraying their faces with bear mace and shooting them.
He never testified during his first trial since his defence told him he would pack up
and leave if he tried so he was sentenced to life without parole.
After spending 25 years in prison he was finally granted a retrial and the right to testify
back in August of 2018.
Coming in at number 5 is Diana Ortiz.
Diana was 18 years old when she moved to New York in 1983 to flee an abusive relationship
and thats where she eventually met her new boyfriend who was double her age.
The man introduced her to drugs like heroine, LSD and cocaine and convinced her the only
way to sustain both their habits was to state a robbery.
Note not a murder, just a robbery.
The plan was sorted, she would pose as a prostitute in a parking lot, wait for someone to approach
her and then her boyfriend and some friends would rob him.
However on the actual day, the victim that pulled up to her starting fighting with the
men and a brawl ensued and he was shot.
While they all ran off what they had no clue about was that that customer was actually
an off duty police officer and he actually died a few days later.
Diana turned herself in and was convicted of felony murder and was sentenced to 17 years
to life.
After 22.5 years in prison she finally went on parole.
At number 4 is Quantel Lotts.
Now Lotts like a lot of other kids on this list had a troubled upbringing.
His dad, mum, stepmum, uncles, aunts basically everyone around him was addicted to cocaine,
even getting high on it when he was in the room.
Hed seen his uncle get shot multiple times because of drugs, and he himself was beaten
on a regular basis.
By 14 he used to have bouts of getting very angry and then amnesia about what happened.
In 1999 he was playfighting with his stepbrother michael, it started off innocently as it always
does.
Michael sent a blow dart his way, Lotts fired back with a toy bow and arrow but then it
turned ugly and escalated into a proper fight.
It ended with Lotts stabbing Michael a few times and ultimately killing him.
He literally doesnt remember the incident whatsoever, he just remembers being told the
next day that his brother was dead and he was the reason.
He was tried as an adult not a juvenile and was sentenced to life without the possibility
of parole.
Even though at 14 the state of missouri thinks youre too young to legally get married, leave
school, donate blood, get a tattoo without parental approval yet youre old enough to
be tried as an adult and put away forever.
Filling our number 3 slot is John Katehis.
Back in 2009, John who was 16 at the time put up an ad on craigslist offering sexual
services in exchange for money and the very popular ABC reporter George Weber replied
to his ad.
When they finally met for his kinky hookup if we can call it that, John claimed that
George pulled a knife on him and as self defense he stabbed George 50 times.
Mind you George was bound and being choked when this happened so i dont know how he could
even pull out a knife to begin with.
And if it was really self defense why 50 times, surely someones dead after maybe a few or
at least injured enough for you to escape the situation.
During his hearings and his confession tapes you can see him literally wink and smile throughout.
At 18 years old John was found guilty and was sentenced to 25 years to life and at 28
years old hes still in there today.
Now at number 2 is Ashley Jones.
Ashley was was a problem child raised by problematic parents.
Her stepdad used to sexually molest her and her mum was a drug addict so it appeared to
be a blessing when her grandparents agreed to take her and her sister in.
i dont know if they agreed to take her in or her parents kicked her out since she stabbed
both her father and pregnant mother in 1998 but neither died.
A year later she at 14 years old, she was disobeying her grandparents more and more
and was dating a boy they didnt approve of.
The couple hatched a plan and she helped her boyfriend commit a series of murders.
First they killed her granddad shooting him twice in the face and then stabbing him to
death, then her aunt who they shot in her sleep and then set them both on fire.
They also attacked her grandmother who also got burned on the face, stabbed in the chest
and jaw and shot in the shoulder.
Luckily she survived.
She also tried to kill her own 10 year old sister by stabbing her 14 times but she survived.
Thank god.
Now at 24 years old shes still in prison serving her life sentence.
And finally at number 1 Erin Caffey.
Way back in March of 2008, Erin started dating a boy called Charlie Wilkinson.
Story seems pretty kosher so far.
After meeting Charlie, her parents felt like there was something off about him but didnt
worry too much but then Erin started to change, her interests changed, her demeanor changed
her parents thought Charlie was a bad influence and wanted them to break up.
So what do any desperate teenagers do in that situation?
Hatch a plan.
Charlie and his friend Waid went into Erins house while she waited in the car with Waids
girlfriend and shot Erins mother Penny whilst also nearly decapitating her with a katana.
They then shot her youngest brother Matthew in the head, whilst James and his friend both
took turns stabbing her other brother Tyler.
As if that wasnt bad enough they then set the house on fire and it was completely ruined.
Erins father was badly injured, they shot him nearly 11 times whilst they killed Penny
but luckily he survived and was able to escape the house before it completely went up in
flames.
I mean idk how lucky that is considering he survived his wife and kids and his remaining
child is in jail.
Initially no one suspected Erin but during Charlie and Waids questionings they both said
the murders were Erins idea.
At 17 years old Erin pleaded guilty to murder as did Charlie and was given 2 consecutive
life sentences plus 25 yrs.
And thats it for todays video guys!
After reading about all these cases it made me realise how unforgiving the justice system
is but ofc for those you deserve life sentences at really young ages go ahead but i feel like
when people are that young they could deserve second chances depending on what they did.
Youre so impressionable when youre young its hard to put down the gavel and be like you
are a danger to society and are never going to change.
Life in prison.
What do you guys think?
