“Good morning and Godspeed. It’s ya boy Elliott Carterr reporting live from the gutter.”
LFTG Radio isn’t here to coddle the culture. We’re here to confront it.
Rooted in truth and reporting from the real, we pull back the curtain on power, pain, and propaganda — straight from the streets to the global stage.
This is where mainstream media won’t go.
Where the gutter meets geopolitics.
Where unfiltered voices challenge the narrative, and real stories refuse to stay buried.
We’re not chasing clout — we’re chasing clarity.
From the courtroom to the corner store, from Africa to Rikers, we ask what others won’t.
No spin. No sellout. Just straight facts from the frontlines.
This ain’t no fairytale — this is LFTG.

The System vs. Jekai Reid-John: When Innocence Beats the Odds
His name ran in national headlines as the so-called “casino follower.” The courtroom called him something else: “not guilty.”
After four years behind bars without bail, Jekai Reid-John joins LFTG Radio for his first exclusive interview, sitting down with his father Dwayne Reid to set the record straight.
Together, they walk through the truth behind the case:
• A first trial miscast as a hung jury, when jurors had already acquitted Jekai on the most serious charges.
• A second trial ending in full acquittal, with the last conspiracy charge dismissed days later.
• The casino footage cut to fit a narrative, versus the full story of that night.
• The evidence gaps — a 9mm gun found elsewhere against .380 casings at the scene, no DNA, no possession charge in Pennsylvania.
• And the co-defendant’s plea deal and testimony, blaming Jekai while he himself was caught trying to board a flight to Dubai.
Through it all, the heart of this story is family. Dwayne reflects on the cost of fighting a case this big — financial, emotional, spiritual — and the strength he drew from his son’s composure. Jekai speaks on “minute by minute” freedom, rebuilding with his children, repairing time with his father, and turning his survival into service for others still trapped in a system that assumes guilt first.
This isn’t courtroom spin — it’s the exclusive story of resilience, loyalty, and truth told in their own words.

Because you look so much like your pops. I got that boom. All right. Good morning, God speaks. Your boy Elliot Carter reporting live from the gutter. Today we're sitting down with a young man whose name's been in headlines, courtrooms, and barbershop conversations. Jakai Reed John, also here with his pops, Dwayne Reed. And uh, yeah, we're gonna talk about him being accused of murder, painted by the press as the man who followed a casino winner home and then acquitted in court. His story is one of trial, resilience, and the bond between father and son. I want this conversation to go deeper to headlines. As always, not for clicks, for clarity. Today you're gonna hear directly from Jakai and his pops in their own words, you know, giving them their own chance to paint the narrative how it should be. What's going on, Jakai? How you doing? What's going on? Uh, how's everything with you? Uh, introduce yourself, your dad, and and let them know your socials and where they can find you.
SPEAKER_03:So, um, I'm Jakai Reed, of course. Um, it's my father, Dwayne Reed. Um, you gotta uh find me on you on Instagram. I don't you know do too many socials. So you know you can find me on Instagram at uh sporty s p-o-r-t-y, period, m-o-d-e, sporty mode. Um you follow me, I follow back.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, cool, cool, cool. Let's get into uh you deciding to speak out and uh you know give your your own voice to the story. Uh what made you what made you reach out to me and LFTG Radio?
SPEAKER_03:Um, well, you know, my father's doing all the digging. So I um I was I was just released. I'm still trying to figure out how to work the phones and everything like that. So my father's been doing all the digging. He's been digging for four years. So, you know, when he finds something, when he finds something intriguing, he tells me about it. So he uh he he he he he called me, he told me, you know, he uh he found the article that was it was it was more so in our favor, you know. I mean it was it was it was much closer to the truth than the rest of them. So um I decided to reach out.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, you know, I definitely appreciate I definitely appreciate you, Pops, for uh sharing that with your son. And uh, you know, giving uh my platform the acknowledgement, that's that's greatly appreciated. It means a lot to have uh Jakar reach out to me and and have the story come across in his own voice. Uh how has the support been from your family, especially from your father during this this this trial and error?
SPEAKER_03:I mean, you know, the support was amazing, you know what I mean. I I didn't have a a lot of support, but you know, it was it was it was a good it was a it was a good amount to keep me, you know what I mean, keep me above water, keep me uh in a good state of mind, you know what I mean? I didn't need hundreds of uh of supporters, you know what I mean. Your family and close friends is all that matters in those situations. So, you know, they held me down and it was it was it was I really couldn't have done it without them anyway. So, you know what I mean.
SPEAKER_01:Do you feel like your community supported you, or do you feel like they kind of let you down in the matter? They kind of sided with the media.
SPEAKER_03:Uh I mean, like, you know, for for those who know me in the community, they uh they know I I'm not capable of anything like that. You know what I mean? They know my character, they know I got I got a good heart. Um like you know, those crimes was just like the charges, it really don't fit me. You know what I mean? They don't fit my character. So, you know, people in the community that know me, they know that I wasn't capable of capable of it. But, you know, you might have some people who don't know you and they'll try to judge you before you, you know what I mean, before you know the the uh the trial or whatever the case is, and they disassociate themselves with the situation. So, you know, support was you know half and half is from the community.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. When you look back, what do you think people misunderstand about you?
SPEAKER_03:Uh like you know, like um basically just the just the the the cr the crime in um in total, you know what I mean? The charges in total, you know. Some people must have they obviously some people misunderstood that I'm not capable of those type of things, you know what I mean? Like it's just not in my character to be the, you know, you know, a person that that that could carry those type of charges. So I feel like that's the biggest misunderstanding that people had about me, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, definitely. How how does it feel, you know, being home now, you know, being acquitted of that crime?
SPEAKER_03:I mean, it's still it's it's it's still a surreal feeling to me, you know what I mean. I'm still trying to, I'm taking it minute by minute. It's not even day by day, it's minute by minute with me. Like I'm I'm just trying, you know what I mean? It's it's unreal because you know, it's a lot of situations where you know you look into the uh you see these, you see these dudes who, you know, go away, they do this, they do the, you know, I mean, do years and years before it actually comes out. And for me to be able to defeat that, that, you know, that 10 to 20 year uh prison bed before it gets overturned, it was it's a blessing, man. I I just I can't I can't do nothing but be grateful, man. It's this amazing feeling. I'm happy it came out the time it came out, and you know I mean, I could just I miss four years, but it's fours four is better than 20.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, definitely. So you was locked up this whole time, you never was able to come home or in bail or anything like that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, see, so New Jersey doesn't have bail, so uh they have a point system, but even though I didn't have a point system in New Jersey, I never been arrested in New Jersey. Yeah, so which I understand, but um yeah, I was I was held the whole time. Okay, so how much time did you do in total? I did four exactly. Four probably twenty days off of four off of four years.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it was uh I think what uh October of uh October uh 29th? I think October 26th, yeah, whatever. And I was thinking four days, four years. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So you had the first trial, which was hung in May, correct?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, see, so the thing about the first trial was that it was it was published as a complete hung jury, and that that's completely false. It was actually a partial verdict where I went to trial on 11 charges, which is a lot of charges for you know uh um jurors to kind of understand. It's very confusing. So they came back with a with four acquittals, which was uh first degree murder, conspiracy to burglary, and two conspiracy to weapon charges, and they hung on the rest of the charges. So yeah, it was a partial verdict. They didn't put out that it was a partial verdict, you know what I mean. So this is mainly one of the reasons why I wanted to sit down and uh and actually put out what was going on.
SPEAKER_01:The the truth behind it, yeah. All right, so the first time was a uh partial verdict, and then the second time you got the complete acquittal.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, the complete acquittal, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, so let's go back into October 25th, October 26th.
SPEAKER_02:One second, I'm sorry, but they they they hung on a second-degree conspiracy to commit arm robbery, right? Yeah, they hung. But then the the yeah, but then the prosecutor's office decided that they they they took enough, they took enough beatings. So, yeah, I mean they did, they just they dropped it and got rid of that, you know what I mean? Okay, gotcha.
SPEAKER_01:Let's let's let's go back to October 25th, October 26, 2021, from your perspective. When did you first notice the victim at parks? And uh what did you do after leaving?
SPEAKER_03:Well, the the the victim was never, he was never noticed by me. I never, you know what I'm saying? I never I never seen him in the casino. It wasn't like I was in there targeting somebody. I didn't know what the victim looked like until I got arrested, and I was able to see what was going on.
SPEAKER_01:I think that's important for people to know.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah, you know, they they try to use the narrative that I was eyeing somebody or you know, targeting scoping somebody in the casino, but that wasn't that. They never put out the facts that I gambled in a casino, they never put out the facts that I ate in a casino, I withdrew money in the casino. You know what I'm saying? I didn't hide my name, I didn't, I didn't the only thing that probably could have disguised anything about me was wearing a COVID mask, which was around COVID time.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and that makes complete sense.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Prosecutors pointed to a casino video in Easy Pass data showing a white BMW behind them. What's your explanation for that timeline?
SPEAKER_03:Well, explanation for the timeline, you know what I'm saying? Like it was just, it was, it was, it was obviously wasn't me driving. I think some uh some news articles put put it out that um the code defendant jumped in the driver's seat. Um it the following wasn't my doing, man. The whole following thing wasn't my doing when the uh situation was was occurring or whatever happened at that time. It was I I wasn't I wasn't I wasn't there at the time, you know what I mean. I left I left the state of New Jersey by myself. You know what I mean? I tried my best to try to stay calm and figure out what was going on. I didn't find out anything for real until I got arrested.
SPEAKER_01:And your co-defender was Devon Melka, correct?
SPEAKER_03:Correct.
SPEAKER_01:Jurors heard that the gun recovered near you was a nine millimeter, but the casings in the house were 380. How do you interpret that mismatch?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, they they they they recovered a nine millimeter in an apartment where I used to go to. It wasn't actually my address, but you know, I used to reside there with somebody and they recovered a nine millimeter. It wasn't no DNA, no ballistics, they didn't do anything on the handgun. Come to find out the handgun was registered to somebody who had a license to carry. But they you know they used the narrative that, oh, you know, he was in a place where handguns, so he's he's familiar with handguns.
SPEAKER_01:And they didn't find that on you in person at the time, right?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, I was never charged with that. Pennsylvania, if they found that on me, Pennsylvania would have charged me with it. Pennsylvania never charged me with that handgun.
SPEAKER_01:I think that's important for people to know too, because it is portrayed like they found it on you in person.
SPEAKER_03:So yeah, no, yeah, that's that's completely false.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. You were acquitted of murder and other major accounts. There's reporting about a remaining conspiracy charge. What, if anything, is still active? And what can you say about it on record?
SPEAKER_03:Nothing's active. All charges were acquitted, and one was um dismissed on behalf of the prosecutors. They went ahead, they dismissed the charge, they couldn't move forward with the charge. See, so the way the uh the way my case was is very unique because you know, let's say I went to trial and on these 11 charges, and let's say they uh the jurist was only able to acquit me of one charge and they hung on arrest. Once you pull a charge out of this case, because you know it's one person to all. So when you pull out one charge, it it dismantles the whole case, and which was what we were dealing with. So it violated double jeopardy. My second trial was double jeopardy. They completely ignored it. I fought through it, you know what I mean, and I was able to still gain the acquittal. So the conspiracy to armed robbery was dismissed about when was that dismissed, Daddy? Like three days later, four days later.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah, it was like I got the acquittal, I got the quittal on a Friday, it was dismissed on a Tuesday. Tuesday, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. All right, so let's get into Devon a little bit. You went to trial, he took a plea. How does his plea square with your position and your verdict?
SPEAKER_03:So um, in exchange for his plea was for a truthful testimony, um he had to take a stand, which was which was done multiple times. Um took the standard during your trial. Yeah, he took a stand during my trial. He was to obviously give a truthful testimony, which was completely false. He spun the narrative, put everything on me, and you know, I had to go to trial with that, you know what I mean? So that's about far as it goes with his plea. I don't know what's happening with his plea right now, I don't know what they're doing with it, but um last time I checked, yeah, he took a plea 15 years in exchange for a truthful testimony.
SPEAKER_01:Wow. So when he took the stand, what exactly did he say?
SPEAKER_03:What did he say, man? He said he basically basically everything was was was yo, he did it, everything was his idea. This is what I get into, but this is what he did that night, right? It was set on a stand, you know what I mean? So multiple times it was he took the standard.
SPEAKER_01:Did he put the following on you? Say it again. Did he put the following on you? Did he say it was you that followed the the the victim and identified him?
SPEAKER_03:He yes, he actually did say I picked out the victim. He said, um, but he said more so the following was him, and tried to use a take and turns tactic, but you know what I mean. The casino footage basically the casino footage basically showed that it wasn't a take and turns tactic. It was never a take and turns tactic. What the prosecutors did and what Parse Casino did was they cropped the videos, they made a compilation, and it was only a five to ten minute compilation, and they stretched it out and produced it to the jurors to make it look like I was doing something I wasn't doing. They took away all the videos of me gambling, they took away the videos of me at the betting kiosk, me eating, it took away all that. So they made a compilation, it made it look like we were doing something that we weren't doing, I wasn't doing, and that's how I went with that.
SPEAKER_01:So let me ask you this. Do you think this was Devon's motivation the whole time? Do you think he had this this idea planned out in his head? Do you think he wanted to go through with this and kind of use you to go through with it?
SPEAKER_03:Absolutely. Him being arrested, absolutely, from the start. You know what I mean? From the start. It was it was all it was all pre-planned. You know what I mean? Just just just off of the see, you know, the the the the the biggest thing is the way that it was published that it was me. I guess because I was the first arrested, he was arrested days later. So they needed to put it on somebody. And um so basically, so since then they put it on me, he was able to run with the narrative that it was me. He was able to cook his own story up.
SPEAKER_02:Listen, real quick, my my son during that time had his own business and everything, right? He was doing doing doing well, you know. That from my understanding, that dude was on a run from Florida or something. So, you know what I mean? Like with his back against the wall, ain't no telling what he, you know what I mean, like what he was willing to do. You know, if you look at when when my son was arrested, it was the the following morning, right? They found him, they found that other guy boarding a plane to Dubai. Like he has no connect, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I mean? Like he has no connections to Dubai that I know of. Um, you know, so that's a runner, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:You know what I mean? And that was big in the trial, too. It was big in the trial that I was arrested in front of an apartment and somebody else was arrested at a gate going to Dubai, you know what I mean? That it played a major part in uh the acquittals, it played a major part in the acquittals.
SPEAKER_01:I think it also played a major part that you decided to go to trial and he decided to cop out, you know. Correct. Absolutely, absolutely. How did you uh how did you know Devon? How did you meet him originally? Where did your relationship from with him stem from?
SPEAKER_03:Uh we was always cool, man. We met in middle school, you know what I mean. That was a you know, it was a homie, you know, like a like a not basically not a best friend to smite you with every day, but you know, an associate, you know what I mean? So, you know, back 2007, 2008, you know, you got your circle of friends, there's somebody that was always around here and there. You you talk to him, you hang with him, but you know, it doesn't go any further than that. But you know, it was just a it was just a it was just a regular let's let's go kick at night. Somebody had different plans. You can't see what somebody else is thinking, you know what I mean? So knowing him prior to this, that you knew he engaged in these type of activities, like this was his it it it see that you know the type of the type of people that I hang out with, man, I try to surround myself with they might not be perfect, but they they not running around committing murders, man. I ain't I can't surround myself around that type of that type of stuff, man, because you know, you know, it's it's it's it's dangerous out here. People you don't know, you don't you don't know certain people uh agendas or whatever the case is. So I try to surround myself with people that I that I that I that I know keep themselves or hold themselves to a certain uh certain value. You know what I mean? And you know, this was something this was a person I misinterpreted, obviously. Uh in the trial, my lawyer used the word manipulator a lot. Um, and then you know, that's basically how we got to view it right now. You know what I mean? It was all manipulation.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, definitely. All right, we can move along from that and move on to some uh family and support questions. What do you think people didn't realize about the role family plays when you're fighting the case of this magnitude?
SPEAKER_03:The money behind it, uh the the stress, you know what I mean? My parents are getting a little older. Uh my kids are growing up, you know what I mean? So, you know, you know, it's just your family got, especially your close family who's involved with you, it's a lot they gotta deal with, man. It's a lot of money spent, man. A lot of money that shouldn't have been spent, but you know, it was at the point where it was like, you know, it's a big case, it's huge. You can't, you can't, you know, we see how public defenders act some days uh during these times. So I actually had to uh go through another lawyer. I uh paid a first lawyer and I got in touch with another lawyer, which is my current lawyer who who who helped us win the case. So yeah, it's a it's a it's a major setback. It's a major setback, but you know, for a victory in the end.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, definitely. I think it was uh money well spent in the end because I don't think you would have gotten the verdict you did with a public defendant.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, nah. So maybe not even that first lawyer.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, not the first lawyer either, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:You know what I mean? He was a ex-prosecutor. He was um, you know, he was used to high profile cases also, but he was an ex-prosecutor, and he, I believe, you know, he I think was sanctuary at one point in time when I did the research on him for um for for uh teaching a course on how to stack a jury, um, you know, about eliminating as many blacks as possible as a prosecutor while he worked in the prosecutor's office, you know what I mean? So yeah, yeah. So that's crazy. Yeah, yeah. So I believe he left uh, you know, that's probably why he became a defense attorney, because you know, yeah, it was a big one.
SPEAKER_01:Um, what's something you learned about your son Jakai going through this whole process?
SPEAKER_02:Oh man, he's a strong kid, man. Like he I I learned I learned uh, you know, how to be a man too from him, you know what I mean? Because in that situation, I wouldn't know how you know what I'm saying, like to go about it, how to go day by day, keeping my head up, keeping a smile on my face, you know what I'm saying, not getting, of course, you're gonna get frustrated, you're gonna get, you know, there's gonna be ups and downs, but for the most part, yo, this kid stays strong through the whole four years, you know what I'm saying? Like, and and and and that to me, uh, you know, I I hold it in high I hold him in high regards and high esteem because not only because he's my son, man, but you know what I mean. That that's that's how a man is supposed to handle this situation. Yeah, and he, you know what I mean, and he he he stood ten toes down, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, all the odds was against him. Yet he would not call that man's name. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, he would not, he would very honorable, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I mean, honorable to a folk, you know what I mean, but you know, but you know, and he's loyal, you know what I'm saying? So, but he would not call that man's name, he would not give them people that man's name, you know what I mean? And that to me, that's the yeah, uh uh man. Appreciate it, man. Yeah, appreciate it.
SPEAKER_01:Real stand-up, that's real stand-up, you know. I do a lot of interviews, and uh I'm interviewing guys on the other side, people that that you know took the stand, people that you know made that violation. So, you know, it's it's definitely nice to be speaking to an honorable man and his father, you know, his father being there. Thank you. Right. Uh do you have anything to say to Mr. Aravoli's family acquittals don't erase their loss?
SPEAKER_03:Absolutely, man. I I you know I pray for that family every night, man. I you know, it's just it it it was it was a it was a it's a devastating situation that you know, I mean, an innocent person, they can't go to the casino, they can't win money without, you know, I mean, somebody trying to wash their pockets, somebody trying to take something from somebody. I've been in a situation where somebody tried to take something from me. I was shot five times as a juvenile, and I wouldn't put somebody else in that situation, man. I almost lost my life. I wouldn't, I wouldn't dare attempt to put that on somebody else. So for the family, man, I you know, you you you you you can't you can't you can't give back what you lost, but you know what I mean. I just always used to pray every night, man. I swear to God, I used to pray every night that that his family could make it through what they was going through, and that, you know what I mean, that you know, that the system wouldn't manipulate them and and make them believe something. I know it's hard. You see somebody's face on the news, you know what I mean? You're thinking, man, isn't is this the person? It has to be the person they did, you know what I mean. I just prayed that the truth came out one day and that, you know what I mean, that they they'll be able to, you know, just accept my apologies for what happened. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I wasn't the actor who done the crimes, but I apologize to them for them having to go through that because of somebody that I know, you know what I mean? Somebody that I know was behind a certain situation, you know what I mean. So it's a terrible situation, man. So I I to them, you know, the daughter, the son, the wife, whoever knew them, whoever worked with them, man. I I I my condolences 100%.
SPEAKER_01:Absolutely, absolutely.
SPEAKER_02:We also we also would like to have justice for that family, too, man. Like the prosecutors gotta do, they gotta do the right thing and get that family justice, you know what I mean? Because two innocent lives were affected, you know what I mean? Like Jacob, my son is innocent, and and uh and Cherie, he was innocent, you know what I mean? Uh you know, uh a sociopath basically is responsible for almost taking down, you know, for destroying the MA2 families. Yeah, yeah, three, three. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_01:Uh now that this chapter is behind you and your pops, what do you two want to build forward moving together?
SPEAKER_03:Man, I I kind of right now I'm kind of looking at my father as my manager in this, you know what I mean? So I'm I'm trying to, I it's like, you know what I mean? Like with me, I feel like I never knew my calling in life. And I feel like this right here 100% is my calling, man. I want to I want to speak out, I want to step up because uh uh uh uh uh injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, you know what I mean. So, you know, those who are innocent that sitting in prison right now, those who are being accused of things that they that they that they've never done. Like I actually had a bunky, you know what I mean. I stay in touch with him every day, man. He was my bunky for a while. He's going through the similar situation with me, man. And it's it's it's terrible that they're doing it, you know what I mean. It's like these prosecutors put a blindfold on and just and just randomly pick a person to be whatever charged exactly, you know what I mean. You know, I I sat in that county for four years and I watched it's a revolving door, man. It's terrible, man. I watched it, I watched people go down prison for crimes they committed, people go to prison for crimes they didn't commit, you know what I mean? And it it's no evidence, they don't they don't use evidence there, man. Ain't no evidence there. So I want to I want to get involved, man, and just you know what I mean, try to make a change. Like, you know, I mean, the day I got my quittles, man, you know, I walked on the unit, everybody cheered for me. Everybody cheered, everybody was kicking the doors, everybody was, you know, I mean, everybody was happy. So I feel the more I feel the motivation I'm giving them. Everybody, you know, they talk to me like, yo, man, how was trial? I want to go now. I want to go too. So I'm like, man, you know what? Just you gotta keep your hope, keep fighting. Never give up, man. You know what I'm saying? Never give up. So I want to I definitely want to be the voice behind that, man. That prison, the prison and the system is is is messed up. System wasn't designed for it. So I want to kind of help adjust as much as I can, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, definitely. Not many people get to experience what you did. You know, you was fighting for your life, and uh you came out on top because if it would have played out another way, you could have been gone for 20, 25 years, you know. So yeah, so you came out victorious, and you know, congratulations to you on that. I appreciate it, brother. So, what's next?
SPEAKER_03:Next, man, is just trying to, you know, you can't get back for lost time. Um so what I'm gonna do now is man, I'm just trying to, you know, reach out as much as possible, man, to see if I could kind of reverse a lot of the narratives, a lot of the you know, the picture. And you know, this is a start, man. So I appreciate you 100% for sitting down with me. I talked about this while I was behind that wall, man. I'm like, yo, man, I can't wait to go do my interviews, man. I want to speak out about this. So I'm happy, man, that this was you was able to give me an opportunity.
