1
What do you think is going to happen?
2
So you find a defendant guilty of murder in a second degree?
3
Yes.
4
Is that unanimous?
5
Yes.
6
Eric Smith was only 14 years old when he was given a sentence of nine years to life in prison.
7
Smith had been convicted of murdering four-year-old Derek Robey.
8
But before his arrest, many residents in Savona,
9
New York, thought it might have been the work of an evil adult.
10
Late in the afternoon, the body of Derrick Robey was found.
11
It was just a brutal, brutal killing.
12
When police found Derrick, they discovered that he had been lured into a wooded area not far from his home,
13
strangled and beaten with rocks.
14
When this terrible thing was done,
15
I think everybody, including myself,
16
thought I was an adult.
17
How could anybody do such a terrible,
18
terrible thing?" But Smith had walked into the police command center four days after the murder,
19
offering to help police solve the crime.
20
Smith said that he had seen Derek that day with a white t-shirt on holding a lunch bag.
21
Investigators felt like Smith knew something but didn't realize the killer was sitting right in front of them.
22
Then two days after Derek Roby's funeral, Smith confessed.
23
Grandpa!
24
Grandpa!
25
I was there.
26
I was there when my grandson confessed.
27
It was.. it was terrible.
28
Investigators and community members tried to understand why a 13 year old boy would do such a thing.
29
They learned that Smith had a history of being picked on as a young child.
30
His bright red hair and freckles made him a target for bullies.
31
I don't know why he did it.
32
I asked him why he did it.
33
His words almost verbatim were,
34
I don't know, I just saw this kid,
35
this blonde kid, and I wanted to hurt him.
36
After he was convicted and sentenced,
37
Smith was sent to Brookwood Juvenile Detention Center.
38
Love you, Eric.
39
Love you, honey.
40
When Eric Smith was sentenced,
41
was there a sense, now we can get on with our lives?
42
You hear the nine years to life.
43
And I think back then,
44
everybody was focusing on the life side of it.
45
For Derek Robey's parents, Smith's prison sentence did not give them the closure they had expected.
46
They were forced to deal with the harsh reality that their son's killer would be eligible for parole beginning in 2002.
47
Decide that, well, now he's done his time and we're gonna let him go.
48
That scares the hell out of me.
49
In 2002, Smith's parole was denied.
50
But every two years, Smith appeared in front of the parole board,
51
hoping to prove that he had changed and was no longer a danger to society.
52
The frequent hearings took a toll on Derek's parents,
53
who were forced to relive the horrors of their son's killing.
54
Must have felt like a weight hanging right over your head.
55
Yes.
56
There's all of these really happy times that are supposed to happen throughout your life,
57
but there's always that.
58
In 2009, as Smith approached his 30s,
59
he said he had changed in an interview with WENY-TV.
60
The data one was, I'm not the same person.
61
There's not a day that goes by in some way,
62
shape, or form that I'm like forced to remember what I did.
63
I'm automatically thinking I killed Derek and the pain that I caused Dale in the door when he broke.
64
In 2010, the parole board turned him down again,
65
but as the years went by,
66
clinical forensic psychologist Joni Johnston says he seemed to be changing from him for other people.
67
So I'm seeing a little bit of hope from him.
68
Years passed, and the parole board didn't budge,
69
until October 2021, when his parole was granted.
70
But Smith could not be released just yet.
71
He still needed to find approved housing.
72
Rick Smith, who gained national attention almost three decades ago for killing a four-year-old,
73
has been set free.
74
On February 1st, 2022, after spending 28 years behind bars,
75
Eric Smith walked out of prison.
76
Why?
77
After so many years, they decided to give him a chance.
78
And that's fine, you know,
79
for him and his family.
80
Smith has moved to Queens,
81
New York, and says he has plans for his future.
82
I want to get married,
83
raise a family, hold down a job, pursue the American dream.
84
Smith says he wants to counsel kids who have been bullied,
85
just like he was.
86
Will Eric Smith be a success story or somebody that we're pointing to and saying,
87
the system blew it with that one?
88
That's exactly right.
89
I keep going back to my hope.
90
Time will tell.

Das üben von Englisch sprechen üben durch shadowspeak ermöglicht es Ihnen, nicht nur die Wörter, sondern auch die Stimmung der Konversation zu erfassen.

Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext

In dem Video finden Sie mehrere wichtige grammatikalische Strukturen und Ausdrücke, die nützlich sind, um das Sprechen zu verbessern:

  • „What do you think is going to happen?“ – Diese Frageform fördert das Nachdenken über zukünftige Ereignisse und ist eine grundlegende Struktur, um Prognosen auszudrücken.
  • „He was only 14 years old when he was given a sentence…“ – Hier wird der Passivsatz verwendet, um zu zeigen, was jemandem widerfahren ist. Passivkonstruktionen sind in der englischen Sprache sehr wichtig.
  • „I just saw this kid, this blonde kid, and I wanted to hurt him.“ – Der Gebrauch von „just“ hier vermittelt eine plötzliche Entscheidung. Der Ausdruck von persönlichen Gefühlen ist wichtig für emotionales Sprechen.

Diese Strukturen sind nicht nur wichtig für den Inhalt, sondern auch für das Erlernen der Sprache durch shadowspeaks, da sie Emotionen und Absichten effektiv kommunizieren.

Häufige Aussprachefallen

Einige Wörter und Phrasen im Video können für nicht-muttersprachliche Sprecher herausfordernd sein. Besonders die Wörter „murder“, „confessed“ und „detention“ sind in ihrer Schreibung nicht besonders intuitiv, was oft zu falscher Aussprache führt. Achten Sie auch auf die Betonung in diesen Wörtern:

  • „murder“ – Die Betonung liegt auf der ersten Silbe, was oft übersehen wird.
  • „confessed“ – Diese Verbindung von „confess“ mit der Endung „-ed“ kann zu Unsicherheiten in der Aussprache führen.
  • „detention“ – Die mittlere „ten“ Silbe wird oft unterschiedlich betont, was die Verständlichkeit beeinflussen kann.

Durch das Üben dieser speziellen Wörter können Sie Ihre Fähigkeiten im shadow speech verbessern und die Klarheit Ihres Sprechens steigern, während Sie Englisch sprechen üben.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
