most people interrogated by the police either don't understand the law or fail to realize that detectives are trying to manipulate them in today's video we'll take a look at the interrogation of a man who outsmarted the detective I know if y I know if y'all had proof of me robbing somebody we wouldn't even be talking y'all would have cuffed me I would be charging in January 2020 rapper dbab whose real name is Jonathan Kirk was set to perform at a nightclub in Miami however trouble started when the club owner paid him only $20,000 instead of the $30,000 he was promised the situation quickly got out of hand the victim claimed that the baby punched him multiple times and then his crew joined in beating the man and knocking him to the ground they also allegedly took his phone credit card and $80 in cash the incident was captured on a blurry CCTV video afterward de baby left the scene in a black SUV but returned to his hotel hours later there both the victim and the police were waiting for him he was arrested and told he was under investigation however the case turned out to be more complicated as the baby seemed ready to challenge the authorities so my name is detective llo Robert detective Sergeant Murray Rober unit I just want to give some basic formalities way get some regular information for you and we go into we're here what's your full name come we just we just want to get it from you man this is just a for just took you know name got information I exactly am from the start Jonathan refused to cooperate declining to answer basic questions even about his own identity although he had been read his Miranda rights and chose to remain silent he surprisingly decided not to ask for a lawyer despite being able to afford however Jonathan felt confident he could manage on his own an incident occurred at the hotel 1500 Southwest first7 that you were there for correct what incident an incident you you had an altercation with somebody no you didn't did you have a business dealing with somebody no you didn't no so somebody didn't bring you $220,000 in on the hotel when you're sh no they didn't no okay somebody had somebody bring $20,000 that wasn't theirs and lied to them and told them that it was for an event of theirs on the 31st and lied to them that person once he realized they was doing bad business said n and left with his $20,000 okay so you didn't count and got my contact information to do business cor right way that's what happened people they got y' put me in here CU they the crooks they the criminals is what I'm telling you okay so you didn't $20,000 did you count $20,000 in you you did okay what time was it sir I don't know whatever time they told you so you're saying you w you weren't whatever time whatever time the camera show me not robbing no damn body that time he denied any involvement in the fight outside the club saying his manager had been talking to an event promoter about a show at CFE uana Pines Jonathan claimed the promoter behaved oddly so they decided to walk away without any conflict still this story didn't explain the fight scene on camera even with the footage being blurry and no Witnesses stepping forward Jonathan was sure that sticking to his version of events would protect him come on time common sense you know what I made to even be down here the pro a promoter book me at that hotel I didn't pay to be at those that was paid for you let me in my room you would have saw close to a quar billion dollars cash legally a hard earn money I don't got to take nothing from nobody bro me see this I will go outside here right now and throw $10,000 in the air like I do not care about no money I don't was there an argument no it was an argument I didn't argue with a soul and didn't argue with soul my voice was never raised never aggressive language for me none of that your fight none of that no I ain't see no fight and nothing was taken we shouldn't be in no robbery bro so y'all get done doing what y'all doing y'all need to do y job y need to follow y process and Y need to arrest who ever gave y these false allegations bro this [ __ ] this [ __ ] this [ __ ] that cost me already $50,000 all right all right bro [ __ ] during the interrogation Jonathan cleverly distanced himself from the crime arguing that with his wealth he had no reason to steal $80 or a phone he insisted he had no motive and wasn't even at the scene however the detectives didn't buy it they knew his vehicle was spotted at the crime scene and aimed to break his story to get a confession when I encountered you in the hotel you came back to the uh the country a the counter where were you coming from at that point uh Prime she food prime prime whatever whatever the hell I went to eat I went to get some food where is that I don't know you don't know no how'd you get there in the car what kind of car was it car you drove somebody else drove a uber bro a uber yeah what kind of car was it a uber small car SUV truck what I don't know let's talk about what matters let's talk about what y'all need to get me about this one but I'm driving in the car what I went to go eat what time I went that don't got nothing do the fact I ain't robbed the damn so me nobody around me ain't nobody robbing nobody let's take the word robber out the picture so while we here we taking the word robbery out the picture y'all y'all robbery this is robbery un that's that's the second word he said that's the second word he said when he came here robbery come on bro listen he told me he asked a question me about a robbery when I walk in my hotel uh robbery I had every answer to the question you needed right there whoa that ain't it that's false I throw that out we talking about robbery bro it's nothing for me to talk about I didn't Rob so do you think that we we just woke up this morning and decided to just I think y'all got a phone call from somebody that that's already a liar I know they're a liar got a phone call somebody that's a liar and y'all bought it y'all believe it y'all got me in here and y'all put me in handcuffs brought me outside the hotel in handcuffs cameras and [ __ ] all on me come on bro this [ __ ] is bad for what I got going on and I ain't even do [ __ ] to that man despite not having a lawyer Jonathan handled the situation skillfully he steered the conversation away from the crime making it hard for the detectives to gather evidence while it was unusual that he didn't ask for legal help Kirk stayed calm and in control outsmarting the cops during the interrogation so the whole point this we're talking about the same thing we're talking about when when we talking about janky promoters bro that's what that's what I'm talking about that whole incident happened talking about criminals when I do business is legally is legal is legally binded it's legally binded everything I do you have to sign a contract you got to sign a contract it's a contract that whole incident happened and nothing nothing went wrong nothing nothing happened there was no not to myge there was no fight there was no scuffle there was no I ain't fighting nobody I ain't fighting nobody y'all know too many lies you get what I'm saying that's why y'all got to move backwards like that bro you're say you're saying you're saying that they're lies but you don't you you don't know what we what we have or don't have okay that's I know I know if y'all I know if y'all had proof of me robbing somebody we wouldn't even be talking y'all would have cuffed me I would be charged with that's what I know bro that's what I know in most cases interrogations happen when the police don't have enough evidence to charge someone and are trying to get a confession if they had solid proof cooperating might have been Jonathan's best move but since the evidence was weak staying silent worked in his favor side of the story my side of the story I I ain't done I don't have a side Su I ain't done nothing to nobody and before something could be done to me and before something could be done to me I realized I was dealing with with a a bad business and I business what why you say was that I already told y that you want to rewind this you goingwind it bro I already told y'all bro my story not going to come out different no matter how many times I said bro it's not bro it's right here you press stop and Rewind and play you going to here why said was bad fam bro come on bro this n blowing my phone up he needed my help for his event he already was in in deep water cuz he's already doing and I see why he's already doing bad business you see what I'm saying he has an event that wasn't going to go his plan he needed me to make up for that he needed me to cover his ass so he and another person live to him swindled him he thinking he coming to book me for a whole different event and they tricking him got him paying me to come do a walk through the night come on bro you [ __ ] full of [ __ ] a't no part of me trying to trying to uh help do on the wild goose hunt to see who that is and matter of fact check them cameras y'all got crime scene investigation unit out there check the cameras see him meet up with somebody else in the lobby ask him hey who's that ask him follow up on what I'm telling yall that's what we trying I mean sh I mean sh it at the end of the day at the end of the day I would expect people to act on common sense anyway bottom L y'all got plenty sense y' not stupid y'all the police bro I'm not do I look come on bro I know I'm still talking I know why I'm still talking when the detectives realized they weren't getting anywhere they left the room to regroup a tactic often used to make suspects nervous Jonathan however stayed calm and even took a nap showing he wasn't bothered by the situation when the detectives returned they shifted the discussion to his belongings at the hotel although he hadn't been convicted Jonathan remained their main suspect and they needed to figure out what to do with his possessions while he was detained Jonathan refused to let them touch his belongings leaving the responsibility to the hotel instead Jonathan was looking at a possible 15-year prison sentence a $10,000 fine and battery charge chares however the detectives didn't have enough evidence to convict him the only video of the incident was blurry and Jonathan stuck to his story without changing it after spending just 48 hours in jail Jonathan was released and 2 months later all charges against him were dropped letting him go free if you
