Crip Mac Returns to Prison (Part 3/3) (Patreon)

Here is our final installment of the Crip Mac series. In this episode, we sit down with No Jumper podcast host, Adam22, who first jumpstarted Crip Mac's career with a viral interview in 2019. We also speak with China Mac, Lupe, Mama Bear, Granny Bear, and finally get a 2-minute phone call with Crip Mac from jail, where he leaves us with some kind words.

In terms of fundraising, I do plan to try and raise some funds when a cut of this video eventually hits YouTube, but I've put a lot of thought into what sort of fundraising would be most beneficial to Crip Mac's situation. Assuming that we raise 100k, it seems useless to dump all of that money into a Federal lawyer, given what we've learned about Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Once the judge makes an offer, Crip Mac will essentially have to take it, so I don't think having a hotshot lawyer really makes a difference in his outcome. 

However, there are still ways we can influence the judge during this pre-sentencing period. 

I've learned that Federal cases allow for defendants to bring in 'Mental Health Expert Witnesses'  before sentencing. These witnesses are typically qualified psychiatrists who are well versed in PTSD, Paranoid Schizophrenia, and its connection to criminology. This expert testimony could lead to a significant reduction in the judge's sentencing offer, as well as provide Crip Mac with access to intensive mental health care during his bid.

That being said, it's not cheap to bring a Mental Health Witness onto this case, so we plan to create a 'Crip Mac Relief Fund,' to raise money for that, and also for the medical costs associated with childbirth and nursing for his first child, who is due on May 5.
