Anything new on Ric Medina Jr gaining redemption after his release?
I miss Cole. The poor lion in prison for 6 years.
How many has it been since then? 2017. So... 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 - hope he's free and make redemption. The Wild Force team must miss him. |
Bro he killed a dude, I doubt anybody actively misses him
|
Zenaku misses him.
|
Just checking, you do know he murdered a roommate with a machete, right? That's... that's pretty serious; it's not as if he robbed a bank or something.
|
Might want to edit the thread's title a little because it made me think he was already out.

Well, he's actually been sentenced with voluntary manslaughter, since we don't know if his roommate was acting as an aggressor or not when the killing took place.
|
Yeah he wasn't convicted of murder so we shouldn't treat him as such. It was an unfortunate circumstance. I'm surprised he got any jail time. He might get out early for good behavior, if his sentence permits it. I doubt he'll be allowed to return to Power Rangers though.
|
If he would only wear while in prison then I would let him out for good behavior. Curious if anyone in prison recognizes him as Cole.
|
Even if he ever gets released, He's certainly not going to be in Power Rangers ever again. I mean, having a person who killed someone in a kid's show. It'll be a PR nightmare.

It was a tragic turn of events, but it's not like he straight up murdered the guy in cold blood. Most people take "I'm arming myself with a fucking Conan sword" as a clear indication of "please stay away good sir I feel threatened." His roommate was evidently not one of those people. Currently he's serving six years after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter, which I think is fair since he did willingly arm himself with a deadly weapon even if the intent was not to kill. According to Wikipedia he was sentenced in 2017, so he should be out in 2023. Does he deserve punishment for killing someone? Of course, and he's receiving it. Does he deserve the benefit of context? I think so. He wasn't high, or had a history of (real life) violence or anything. Just a bad altercation ending in a bad way. |
The title of this post exemplifies why tokunation should start removing posts and eventually user accounts that cannot form a proper sentence. It is nearly impossible to hold a conversation if someone cannot speak coherently.
He killed a dude; hes in american prison; he will either be released on parole when they feel like it or he will remain in there until its not profitable |

Okay so it's not really complicated. His sentence is 6 years. When he's served them he's out. I don't know if parole factors into this as he took a plea deal.
I strongly doubt Hasbro(or who ever owns this stuff by then) will want to have him back on the show. He's not Matthew Broderick who was an in demand actor who served no prison time. Press wise it came off looking like an accident........and then he want on to do movies like Glory. Then remember this was before the internet really took off. But original question, his sentence was three years and he's on his way to serving half of it. |

Perception of it being accidental or not, this is Disney we're talking about. The fact they were willing to work with Broaderick is astounding. If it had been similar to what happened with Medina then yeah they probably would have black listed him. Disney does not like to get their hands dirty. Hasbro is not Disney so they might be willing to work with Medina. |
Just to piggy back, a lot of articles when first reporting used images of MMPR, and only a paragraph or two into them did they refer to him as being in "Wild Force" specifically.
Some articles have since revised themselves to use Wild Force images and point out he was in Wild Force and Samurai early on, but when the scandal first unwrapped, which was the peak for it all, they only used the vague "Red Ranger" as a descriptor. |

One could say that most wouldn't know one season from another, and those who said anything were just being pragmatic for the sake of their audience. However, I think that's too short-sighted! If you report on a particular brand or franchise, one should include specifics. Something that comes to mind is the release of Transformers Headmasters by SHOUT! and reading an article on CNN when that news was fresh and interesting for the franchise! Headmasters got more love than Wild Force! |
I recall early stories using the Samurai photo and the ambiguous "red ranger" in the title. They made it sound like it was the Samurai red ranger. People only reading headlines thought it was either Austin St John or Steve Cardenas. I believe only one untrustworthy site, I forget which, used an image of MMPR red from the Forever Red special. The media can be a little bit vague with Power Rangers, but try to be as current as possible. The problem is public perception. A lot of people don't know the show is still around, and because of the over-saturation of MMPR merchandise, that's all people associate the brand with because that's either what they grew up watching, or what their kids, grandkids, and/or siblings grew up watching.
