Three people were charged and convicted, we believed, in Mac Miller's death.
00:06
But one of the guys is already out of jail, five years after his arrest.
00:11
He's released from prison. His name is Cameron James Pettit.
00:14
What's odd about that is we know that the other two guys who were arrested and convicted,
00:19
they pled guilty, actually. They got 17 years and 11 years.
00:24
So why is Cameron Pettit out after just five years?
00:28
The Federal Bureau of Prisons said that he got out last month, October 11th.
00:34
What they haven't said is where he's gone, or explained why he was released after just five years.
00:41
It is a little weird. We checked the court records and basically he pled not guilty.
00:46
That's the last thing that's showing up in the courts.
00:50
And then it was sealed, so we don't really know exactly what happened.
00:52
We reached out to...
00:53
We don't know what his sentence was.
00:55
Exactly. We don't know what his sentence was.
00:57
I mean, Harvey, obviously you've been covering stuff like this for a while.
01:00
This makes me think that this guy probably took a deal and maybe gave up the other two guys.
01:06
And that's why it's sealed.
01:07
I don't know. It's weird. We've reached out to his attorney, who hasn't got back to us.
01:11
But it's obviously interesting timing as well, just because just this week,
01:14
they announced Mac Miller would be releasing another album for him in January.
01:18
So all the fans are talking about him.
01:20
And then this news breaks that he gets out.
01:23
I have been a lawyer for a long, long time.
01:25
And I'm not saying I know everything about this,
01:28
but I've never heard of a sentence that was under seal.
01:33
That the sentence, I've never heard that was confident.
01:37
I mean, by definition, a sentence is not confidential.
01:41
So I don't understand why there was so much trouble figuring out what this dude was sentenced to.
01:46
What he was sentenced to.
01:48
And if they're keeping that sealed, keeping his conviction or sentence sealed,
01:54
but then they have, why not seal the fact that he got out?
01:59
I mean, then the cat's out of the bag that he's out.
02:02
So if you're really trying to protect him for whatever reason, you've just said he's out.
02:06
Well, because the thing is, Harvey, in federal prison,
02:08
you can just search people's names and then it will show when they got released.
02:12
Then why not show the sentence?
02:13
If you can do that, why are you hiding the sentence if you know where the guy is?
02:18
If you're really trying to protect him, that's what just doesn't make sense.
02:21
I have never heard of a sentence under seal.
02:25
It just never, ever, other than juvenile, other than juvenile.
02:30
Right, right. And this is, he's an adult.
02:33
So that's not this.
02:35
It is just odd after just five years.
02:39
And it may be that's all he got. We don't know.
02:41
Or, you know, he did 85%, which is what they do in prison.
02:44
That would certainly point to him cutting some sort of deal and giving up the other two
02:48
because they got 17 and 11 years and he only gets five.
02:51
But here's the problem with this.
02:53
What did the other two guys do?
02:55
They didn't go to trial.
02:57
They didn't go to trial. One of them was the actual dealer.
03:00
One was the distributor.
03:03
He was the guy who was supplying all the drug.
03:06
I think he was the one who was either obtaining it or making the drugs.
03:09
And then someone actually delivered it was just the, you know.
03:13
But they didn't go to trial. They did not.
03:15
So if they didn't go to trial and they pled, you know, you wouldn't need.
03:19
Right. This guy didn't testify against them.
03:22
Right. Something doesn't make sense there.
03:24
How's it going? I'm James from Sun Valley, Idaho.
03:27
Yeah, the whole situation surrounding Mac Miller's death is just so sad.
03:31
And I feel like in situations like this, though, it is hard to know who's ultimately responsible.
03:36
And also, Cameron is just one of three to be accused for distributing the drugs.
03:39
And he did plead not guilty.
03:41
So I think there needs to be more of an investigation to find out what really happened.
03:45
And who knows? Maybe he's innocent.
03:46
Well, he's not innocent because they had him in prison for five years.
03:49
He's not innocent.
