Criminal SUCKER PUNCHES His Own Lawyer At Trial

You know, it's really nice when you end up putting somebody on trial for an absolutely

heinous crime, that person gets convicted of said heinous crime.

The sentence is handed down to that person when he decides to stand up in the courtroom

and say, listen, I understand that the sentence is harsh.

I understand that my life is effectively over, but you know what?

There is nobody at fault for these particular circumstances that I find myself in, but

myself, I take full accountability, full responsibility, and of course, I apologize to the victim

if they're still living, and if they're not to the victim's family, because obviously

I have caused immense damage not only to them, not only to the family, but of course to

the community as a whole and to society as a whole.

That is a wonderful thing that can happen in American courtrooms across this nation,

and it's absolutely beautiful when it does.

But the thing is, that's not today's story.

The thing is, that is absolutely not what went down right here at this very courtroom

in the city of Houston, would actually happen in the case of Jacarious Lewis, who by the

way was caught dead to rights doing a murder.

The evidence against him was overwhelming is that when he was sentenced, he decided that

he didn't like that sentence.

So of course, the person at fault was the person who was defending him, his public defender,

who had been doing this job for 46 years, represented a whole host of murder suspects throughout

the course of that time.

He did it.

He's responsible for the 50 year sentence.

So Jacarious Lewis and his infinite wisdom had decided to sucker punch this guy, knocking

him out cold again after he got a 50 year sentence for a murder that he absolutely did commit.

And this is what we're going to talk about today.

This is what we're going to discuss.

But before we do, I want to thank everybody who supports this channel, the actualjusticewater.com

slash join.

Oh, give me the money.

Give you give me the money, okay?

Well, this is an a story you hear about every day, and it's an only on Fox report.

A long time Houston defense attorney is punched into face by this guy, his own client.

That client was just told he would have to serve 50 years in prison for murder.

Now look, I've seen the Shawshank redemption.

In fact, it's an absolutely wonderful movie.

And I understand that inmates oftentimes make a ton of excuses for their piss poor behavior

that ended up leading them to prison in the first place.

And one of those excuses is the fact that their lawyer must have effed them.

Their lawyer must have screwed them over.

So maybe Jacarious Lewis, the 27 year old convict in this particular case, felt like

that his lawyer didn't do a good job representing him.

And the thing is, that could be the case.

The thing is, the evidence could have been very minimal in this particular homicide.

Well, that hypothetically, theoretically, and even metaphorically could be true.

We all know that this guy obviously did not have anything to support his side.

And the evidence was very likely to be overwhelming.

But the thing is, we don't go just based on the allizations as the super mayor would

call them false allizations and not facts.

We go on the actual facts of the case.

We actually look into this.

And one of the things that I discovered when looking into Mr. Jacarious Lewis is that

his arrest back in May of 2024, the homicide was committed back in April of 2024, kind

of was due to the fact that there was overwhelming evidence of his guilt.

And very likely, there was no attorney on planet earth that could have helped him to

a better sentence.

So this is from May 6th of 2024.

The charges have been filed against the suspect arrested in the fatal shooting of

a man at 7959 at Sunbury Street at around 710 pm on April 18th.

The suspect, Jacarious Lewis, age 25, is charged with the murder in the 178th state district

court.

The booking photo of Lewis is attached to this release.

He is accused for his role in killing Quincy Johnson age 40, HPD, that's the Houston

Police Department, homicide division, sergeant C. Ponder and detective K. Stringer reported.

HPD patrol officers responded to the shooting call at the above address and found the victim

unresponsive in his apartment.

Houston fire and paramedics responded to the scene and pronounced the man later identified

as Mr. Johnson deceased from a gunshot wound.

According to two witnesses, Johnson was standing outside on his balcony when two male suspects

ended up shooting him.

So already, and I do in fact mean all and then ready, we have pretty good evidence in

that we have two eyewitnesses to this particular shooting as to what happened, and they identified

two shooters being involved in this.

One of those shooters, of course, is Jacarious Lewis.

But the evidence stacks up even beyond that, because who can trust eyewitness testimony,

I don't believe in no eyewitnesses, that's how I'm gonna roll, but the thing is we also

have surveillance images.

Further investigation and evidence from the scene developed the suspect descriptions

and investigators released surveillance photos of the suspects on May 2nd, acting on a

tip.

Officers arrested Lewis the following day last Friday, May 3rd, and he was identified

as the shooter and charged with murder.

A second male identified in the surveillance photos was questioned and released without

charges.

The investigation is ongoing to determine if a third suspect is involved, and then of

course, they have information on the tips.

Now look, there was additional evidence beyond this that ended up tying Jacarious Lewis

to the particular victim, and thus they had a reason for why this particular shooting

ended up going down.

That ended up coming out at trial, but the shooting took place on April 18th, and by May

3rd, they already had a suspect, and that was just one day after they released the surveillance

images of the suspect, and thus they were able to identify this person.

So obviously the issue at hand is that Mr. Jacarious Lewis, not very good at homiciding

and not very good at doing murders, but obviously in his mind, that means his attorney's fault.

So needless to say, the man is in fact guilty of this homicide, and that brings us to the

sentencing phase.

On the surface, the PSI hearing and the 178th Judge Kelly Johnson's court was fairly routine.

27-year-old Jacarious Lewis pled guilty to a murder that happened in April of 2024

at 79-59 Sunbury.

Lewis was facing five to 50 years.

The state recommended 50 years, and the judge agreed.

So as you just heard right there, Lewis ended up taking a plea deal, and as a condition

of the plea deal, he was informed that the sentencing range was between five and 50 years.

This is very likely because he was likely facing life without the possibility of parole,

or potentially a capital murder, based on the fact that he has a lengthy criminal history.

Obviously, he has a violence and aggression problem, but this is also incredibly crucial,

because essentially he knew what was available to him in terms of sentencing going into this

process, and yet he still lashed out an anger, he still sucker punched the attorney, because

maybe he was hoping against hope that he would get on that five-year spectrum, or at least

closer to the five years, rather than the top of the line.

And by the way, if you're going to do a plea deal for a murderer that is caught dead

to rights, this is the kind of plea deal that I want you to actually get.

Something where the sentence is absolutely significant, because obviously this guy, not

exactly an ideal candidate for rehabilitation, if he can't even compose himself in a court

of law, which by the way is something that we see with a lot of defendants across the

United States of America, and also they end up putting out videos of how they have to

restrain these people, and then left-wingers end up reacting like that person isn't

the major problem in the court of law in the first place.

The judge pronounced the sentence, and at that point, apparently, now I was out, my client

hit me in the face, and people in the courtroom say that I fell back, I was standing, I

fell back against a chair, and then I hit a counter and hit the back of my head, and apparently

fell on the ground.

But I don't remember any of that, and then the next thing I remember is I'm standing in

the courtroom, and there's just a ton of people there, bailiffs and paramedics and all kinds

of commotion, and then somebody said to me, John, do you realize that your client just punched

you in the face?

And I said, no, I didn't know that.

So this guy is actually pretty chill about it, recounting the story at this moment in

time, but like I said earlier on, he's been practicing law for 46 years, he's had a bunch

of homicide clients, a bunch of people that were found guilty or took plea deals, and

he's never been struck in this particular manner, and I just want to point out the obvious,

which is when you sucker punch somebody, there is a chance that they could die.

This guy actually did fall, he did hit his head, he did lose consciousness, and it's

not really a great way to prove that you are going to be on the path to rehabilitation,

not deserving of 50 year sentence, when you try to murder your attorney based on you

not being able to face up to the consequences of the decisions that you made yourself.

Lewis is now charged with injury to the elderly, the DA's office requested that Lewis's

bond be set at $100 million.

Yeah, so jacarious Lewis, you're an absolute scumbag in every possible way.

I hope they tack on an extra 10 years for this.

By the way, they're not only charging him with an assault, which is what he absolutely

did, but they're charging him with an assault on a vulnerable population because this guy

is north of 60 years old, and I would even attach an attempted murder to make sure that

this guy doesn't get out even after 50 years.

I mean, seriously, one of the most cowardly things that you could do is start a fight before

you inform the person that you intend on fighting, that the fight has begun, and this guy

ended up doing this to a man that was nearly double or actually over double his age because

jacarious Lewis is 27 years old at the time that he received this sentence, and he did

so in a courtroom, and he should face severe consequences.

And again, this is not an individual who's acting out because of poverty and can be rehabilitated

just by midnight basketball.

This is a murderous thug, and by the way, he still has that thug part attached to him,

even after he was held accountable for that murder.
