Thug Life in D.C.

Aundrey Burno, a black youth looking down the wrong end of a murder charge — for which a conviction could result in a lifetime in prison — appears to be the epitome of an unrepentant thug. Speaking to viewers, he claims to have done whatever was necessary to survive on the mean streets, to earn the respect of his criminal peers. But as his case progresses and his younger brother, Kevin, faces the same choices he did — to become a thug or not — a very different Aundrey reveals himself.
