FULL COUNT is a heart-warming story about perseverance, faith, triumph, and the struggle to never let go of a dream.
An unfortunate chain of events forces Milton Young to give up his dream of playing professional baseball and return home to the town he fought hard to escape. Once home, Milton faces insurmountable economic and personal hardships, only to be faced with an even greater challenge: defending himself against a tragic crime that could send him to prison for life.

someone once told me that the secret to
happiness is to be content no matter
your situation
my dad didn't want to be a farmer
but that's what life handed him
he worked hard
sometimes that hard work paid off
sometimes it didn't
but he managed to find happiness in it
and he always made time for me
my dad taught me everything he knew
about farming
[Music]
he also taught me everything he knew
about baseball there you go watch it all
the way in the greatest game on earth
give me a fastball
he taught me how to be a great locator
with a pitch like greg maddox
and how to bring the heat like roger
clemens
but too many years of his hard work not
paying off changed him i've already
worked like 30 hours this week nothing
seemed to make him happy anymore
and once the drought hit he needed me on
the farm
not on the ball field
but i wasn't going to set my dreams
aside like my dad had
i wanted to play in the majors
maybe even find my way into the hall of
fame one day
no matter what it took
i would fight for the life that i wanted
the life that i knew would make me happy
what is the victim's condition
the victim is in critical condition do
you have a suspect
yes
the suspect is also in the hospital and
also in critical condition
can you provide the suspect's name age
and what the charges are for
well the suspect is a juvenile and we've
yet to contact the immediate family
therefore we cannot release the name at
this time
however i can tell you that the
individual has been charged with dui
resistant arrest reckless driving and
aggravated assault with a motor vehicle
we should have
further charges filed after a full
investigation and when will you be
releasing more information deputy as i
said we have a full investigation
pending ma'am and uh as we get more of
the coney county sheriff's department
will make no further comments until
we've completed a full investigation
okay sheriff just two more questions if
you don't mind holding for just a moment
sheriff just a moment of your time
let's just go back to the truck
what in the heck was that circus out
front
i was just answering questions from the
media apparently the victim's a highly
regarded individual in this town media
the city has a population of six
thousand people in one small local
newspaper look i know you just
transferred home from clark county but
this is my department
this is my investigation
watkinsville is a small town
the kind of town where everybody knows
everybody we don't have these types of
situations down here last story
involving my department that made the
local paper
involved a spooked pony that got free
during the july 4th parade
sorry
estimated time the accident was 10 15
p.m why was i not notified i i pretty
much had it handled all right i fill out
the report and i was just gonna finish
it up you know wait till the morning
wait till in the morning
i mean how severe situation must there
be clark county before you notify your
sergeant all due respect sheriff we
handle this kind of situation in clark
county all the time
you have no further comments with anyone
outside of my department about this
investigation am i clear
thought you're the only one in your
department
exactly
promoting
he's stable milton has severe head
trauma fractured right arm
or keeping him in a medically induced
calm way to control the brain swelling
how about mrs davis she's still in
surgery broken bones internal bleeding
spleen damage it's going to be a
difficult and long road to recovery for
that one
anybody uh notify milton's mother
when the patient is transported and it
involves an accident you leave the
notifications up to your department
i was afraid of that
i would like to copy the police report
in any crime scene photos when they're
available
here you go
great make a copy of this
thanks doctor
after
what the heck is this for
it's flight risk
well sheriff i'm just following a
procedure

coma to know him

work around here
i'll get everything done i've been
picking up your slack a lot lately
no matter what i do
it's no it's never enough
my grades are great
and i can't remember the last time i got
in trouble
i'm gonna talk about psych and why don't
you cut me don't
you dare
sit at my table and get smart with me
what'd i tell you
we should never let him play baseball in
the first place
the kid's developing an attitude
his priorities are out of whack he's
forgotten what his responsibilities are
to this family in this farm
baseball
is a hobby
it is not a career
he's still a kid
besides
he likes it
he loves it
and he's really good at it
so don't steal his joy
he has a chance for a college education
somewhere
learning the family business is what he
should be doing
good morning and welcome
i'm glad that you've decided to worship
with us
today we'll be reading from the book of
james
chapter 1
verse 12.
for such a man
has stood the test
and will receive the crown of life
that the lord the righteous judge shall
give him in that day
hey milton
can i get a ride
and you're so blessed
i wish i was born with a god-given
talent
it's not
it's not all it appears all the time
you know things are tough at home right
now
and for as long as i can remember him
i've been listening to this inner voice
calling me
to pursue baseball
yeah i don't know what's best for me i
don't know what's best for my family
i don't
i don't want to cause pain to those
closest to me you know
you're lying selfish part of me wants
you to stay
but
if i were you i'd get as far away from
this hit town as possible
even if it means we can't hang out
anymore
if i pursue baseball
and fail
know i won't regret that
but i know the one thing i would regret
it's not trying
it's a great way to look at it
but don't you forget about our boys back
home
you always hear these crazy stories
about celebrities and
baseball players buying their friends
houses and cars and stuff
if i'm making i'm buying you both
serious
yep
buy a house and that bad boy gonna have
wheels too baby
all right big shot i'll take two
[Music]
[Music]

practice and that's what's got you
irritated

word

milton
i'm gonna do everything in my power to
make sure that your father is there too
yeah i don't want him going if he
doesn't want to go
it's not that your father doesn't want
to go to your game
i know sometimes it must be really hard
to understand
your father
is under a tremendous amount of stress
he's working twice as hard for half the
return milton
he's doing everything he can
to provide for us and to keep the farm
afloat
i understand why he cares about the farm
and i get it
nobody doesn't even want me to try
pursuing baseball you
know your father
who was forced into farming at the age
of 12.
ted
had no other opportunities
news
never given the choice to pursue other
things
this is all he knows milton
i know
your father loves you very much you know
there's a funny way of showing it
sometimes
you know it's the same sad story for all
of my friends
until they finish school
it's out to work in the fields
no one dreams past high school no one
knew who moves here and
no one ever leaves
i believe god has a bigger plan for my
life i know

what you're saying something's uh
you have no idea what you're getting
yourself into buddy you're a joke i'm a
joke
what get up oh man you help me
farm boy i will end you
believe that come on man
you haven't been able to make the
minimum payment on your current
outstanding loans yeah i understand
why would the state take the risk of
extending additional credit to a client
who currently can't make the minimum
payment
without that additional credit how we're
supposed to keep the form going
without fertilizer and seed we have to
close down in six months
well this has been a particularly hard
two years on our state
our community in particular has been hit
very hard
many families we've helped for
generations are being denied and turned
away don't they care how hard we've
worked and the role we've played in the
community
unfortunately mrs young the state's been
forced to make cuts across the board for
many programs
a drought is considered an act of god
it's outside of human control
it's nothing personal
hey ryan
what's up coach
we'll start mild tomorrow
no you you're making a mistake you'll
start milk tomorrow you're done
ryan that's enough
i lost the um
[Music]
starting job to that that kid i did
everything i could okay
how come everything i've ever done is
not enough for you dad
i just want to be appreciated dad
bye
bye
uh yeah
[Music]
uh
god
[Music]
guys
ryan had a lot of anger issues
long before milton arrived
what we need to do right now
is just have a moment of silence
take our hats off
let's get back to practice
milton
i need to see you a minute
coach i hope you know it's not what i
wanted no no no no no
it's your father
[Music]
see
[Music]
me
[Music]
called home to bury his father
and have a chance to say a proper
goodbye
that's what i mean by terrible things
happening to good people
well
all due respect sheriff
this boy committed a heinous crime
i think you need to
save your kind words and your prayers
for the victim and her family
am i interrupting
don't think so good
sheriff i want to show you something
first
correct me if i'm wrong
the preliminary accident investigation
shows that the truck
entered the ravine head-on
therefore the damage on impact was
absorbed in the front
straight on
paramedics stated that milton had to be
cut from his seat belt
which means he was wearing his seatbelt
at the time of the accident
now here
due to the improvements in seat belt
safety thank goodness
we rarely see these types of injuries
when victims wearing seatbelts
especially when wearing them properly
what do you say
it is almost impossible for milton to
sustain
this type of blunt force trauma to the
head and arm
in this accident
the milton did
not sustain this injuries in the car
accident
it is very likely
these injuries were sustained outside
the vehicle
prior to the truck entering the ravine
bobby
well
thank you
of course
hey
hey
stay right there nurse nurse
he's awake he's awake
need a hand
thing's been overheating all week
there we go
looks like a
this radiator hose there
let's see if she'll turn over
[Music]
appreciate it you need a ride i'm good
thanks
have a blessed day
so due to the injury sustained milton
has
radial nerve palsy
or wrist drop
now radial nerve palsy is a neurological
condition that causes
curved or bent fingers
curved wrist
sometimes
in certain cases it can be corrected
with surgery
often it is permanent now i just want
you guys prepared for everything
milton has one of the more severe cases
that i've seen
that's just my opinion but
it's likely that milton will have
limited function of his right hand for
the rest of his life
that's milton's pitching arm
oh for god's sakes we just buried his
father
i'm so sorry
well milton is aware that he has a
severe arm injury
that will require extensive rehab and
most likely surgery
if you need anything
don't hesitate
i'll see you guys a little bit
coming out of the coma
i knew nothing would ever be the same
my dad was gone
but it wasn't just his memory that
lingered
his burdens did too
and i felt their weight pressing down on
me
i fear we can use the help
[Music]
i could never take back what happened to
miss davis
[Music]
and it looked like i would never play
ball again
[Music]
i felt broken
and worthless
i had to find a way to keep moving
forward
[Music]
[Music]
so
any luck
i think we're gonna need a new
alternator
i don't know
i'm gonna work on it a little more
you've been playing around with it for a
couple days now
milton you can't take on all the burdens
of the farm
you have enough legal trouble of your
own
milton
here
take this
what's this
that's everything we have left
i think we owe it to mr gravit to make
good on our debt
how much money is this
it's my secret stash
kept it hidden from your father
what are you saying for
[Music]
when you were about two years old
your father took me downtown
when we were window shopping
it was our anniversary and
he was feeling guilty because he
couldn't buy me a nice present
[Music]
funny how life gets in the way
your father must have come close to
saving that needed 285 about 10 times
over but
something more urgent always came up
can i help you
just looking
this ain't the kind of place where you
pop in just looking
is mr graviton
huh he is extremely busy
what you need to see him for
what you need son
you ted's boy
what kind of business you need to see mr
gravis for i know he's busy just
you please tell me i need five minutes
of his time
sure son
he's back in the warehouse you're going
back and seeing
thank you
mr gravitt
milton young
ted's son
yes i
i know
really sorry to hear about your father
what brings you here
last few years been really difficult on
my family
last couple of years been extremely
tough for the entire community and our
nation
nobody expected the
recession or the drought to last this
long
i understand my family owes you a lot of
money
i want to make another run in the spring
crop season on the farm i got a plan
i just want you to at least hear me out
spring seas should have been song two
weeks ago
you've practically missed the window
you're a little late son
because of our crop rotation limited
planting last fall you know our soil
hasn't been this fertile in years
and it's late
it's not too late
i commend you on having the courage to
come down here and see me
and wanting to fight for your family's
farm
your father would be proud
i need seed and fertilizer
you want to buy seed in fertilizer
this is everything we have left
[Music]
how much is this
almost 200.
so your family owes me thousands of
dollars
this is short
i mean given our current situation you
know we can't repay the debt
i could sit back do nothing
the bank will eventually take over the
farm and
you'll never get repaid
you know i want a chance to repay the
debt you know give me a
chance not a bank
i'm not in the business of lending money
the economy has taken a toll on our
business as well we too are suffering
financially
we're in the middle of one of the worst
droughts on the record
i'm not in the position to take that
additional risk it's nothing personal
but that would be foolish and a
financially reckless decision on my part
i'm asking you to trust me
i have faith in passions of rose creek
farm
what about your legal troubles
and what about your arm
are you able to do any real physical
labor
i'm fully prepared to face the
consequences of my actions you know i
know what i got to do
as far as my heart
the doctor said i'm perfectly fine to
work the fields out look i know you're
going through a tough time right now
and again they say i'm sorry
about your dad
ted was a good man
thank you for coming down to make a
partial payment on your family's
outstanding day
we're just not in a position to extend
additional credit or resources
thank you
hear me out
good luck milton
i tried to delay as long as possible
there were no other options
i'm really sorry
hey have you been
i've been trying to call to catherine
give you any of my messages
hello
why are you what do you want from me i
haven't heard from you in a while i just
wanted to check in on you and make sure
you were okay
look i
heard that you were meeting your
attorney tomorrow and i just wanted to
know if there was anything that i could
do for you
i told you that
why are you so upset
charles surely actually was my fault
you know everything's my fault i'm a
monster
don't talk to me
casey can't figure it out
you know things aren't going real well
on the farm
you know things aren't going really well
my personal things aren't going real
well anywhere
there's nothing here for you danielle
can i help you
i'm here to see miss davis
she's in room 330 end of the hall on
your right
thanks
so
how are you miss davis
it's milton
milton young
i want to tell you how sorry i am
i wish i could remember what happened
i wish i could go back and fix it
just want to make sure you know
i'm sorry
[Music]
due to your financial hardship the state
has agreed to allow me to represent you
as the court-appointed attorney now the
state of georgia has
charged you with aggravated vehicular
assault dui and resisting arrest
because you were 18 at the time the
charges were filed the state considers
you an adult
these offenses carry a combined 10 years
in prison
it doesn't help your case that you
severely injured a very well respected
member of our community
feels like i'm already guilty
well it's my job to put together a
defense and fight the charges against
you
now the first thing we do is we always
try to get the charges dropped if we can
find a loophole or a technicality now if
we can't do that i would then recommend
negotiating with a state solicitor to
plea down the charges to lesser offenses
our last option and the one we want to
avoid is going to trial finding the
charges in a courtroom in front of a
jury
i didn't commit any of these crimes
okay
well why don't you give me your version
of the events that transpired on may 6th
that was the day of my father's funeral
i am so sorry for your loss if there's
anything we can do for you please call

thank you take care
thank you for coming
when are you going back to college
i can't go back

so much to do here
milton
your future is at school pursuing your
dream talk about this later
we have a few guests coming back to the
house
i just want to be alone
take a ride if you don't mind
you sure you're okay
just need to clear my head
hanging in there
yeah
look i'm uh
really sorry about your dad
i finally got out of town you know
everything was starting to fall into
place
you know for once things were going my
way
you know the way i've always dreamed
and now everything's so messed up i
can't think straight
bought you something
what's this
a little something to keep your mind off
things
you know i'm not much of a drinker bro
keep it for later then
trust me you'll need it
i'll get you around
so
you told me you weren't drinking mom
ms young
i'd like to ask you to refrain from
interrupting while i'm trying to get
your son's version of the events milton
please continue
that's the last thing i remember
the last thing you remember is is
downing liquor i wasn't downing liquor
it
didn't even swallow
what's the next thing that you remember
waking up in a hospital a week later let
me just make sure i've got this right
you
took a sip of liquor and then woke up a
week later in the hospital
that that's a large gap
resisting arrest
you're right-handed
yes ma'am patient suffers from
anterograde amnesia due to blunt force
trauma to head and neck
you really don't remember anything else
from that night i mean every now and
then i'll have a dream
you know it's never enough to piece
together
i know for certain i didn't run over
miss davis
you have to understand that it's very
hard to defend a client when they can't
provide
any details of the events the night in
question is not your job
this has to be very upsetting this is
young i know this is scary for a mother
knowing her son is facing these kind of
charges
i have a police report to review and i
have some witnesses i need to talk to
i've still got a lot of research and i
want to assure you
that i will do everything in my power
to represent your son according to
georgia law it's also my job to give
advice
my initial thoughts
this is going to be an extremely
difficult case to defend
now i'm encouraged by milton's record
it's clean no priors
i expect our best option will be to
negotiate to lesser charges to minimize
his jail time
you said
i always put my trust in faith in our
heavenly father
he'd lead him in the right direction
i'm so sorry milton
i finally got out of the town i've
worked so hard to escape
you know pursuing something i thought i
was called to do
now we lost dad
i'm about to lose the farm
i've got legal troubles from an accident
i don't even remember
i'll never
play baseball
again
i can't imagine how you feel
sometimes
things have a strange way of working
themselves out
it's not fair
what are you doing
on
not my will but yours be done
can i help you
it's all the same
y'all looking for help around the phone
i don't mean you don't have now
i don't recognize you from town
not from around here
she's passing through
help is no longer needed
[Music]
so
can i help you
i'm david
i spoke with your mother about helping
out around the farm
she didn't mention that to me
good news
turns out it wasn't the alternator after
all
appears to have been a loose cable
how did you know i thought it was a bad
alternator
told you the position is no longer
needed
get off our property
mister should we see if she starts
sir i appreciate you coming out here
fixing our tractor but
my mom's right we don't
need nobody right now
last frost was a few weeks back
corn and melon seeds should have been
sown by now
i really need to get to work
look i don't know who you talk to or
what you heard around town
we're in no financial position to be
hiring day labor
run up into the house and grab this man
a few dollars and pay him for his time
mighty kind of you mound but i'm not
here for your money
i know your husband passed recently
milton
i know you lost complete use of your
right hand and
you're facing some serious legal issues
i know y'all are in debt and the bank's
fixing to foreclose on your farm in a
few months
unfortunately
hell are out of options
you need me
who sent you
i'll take 15 override on summer's final
harvest only need one good meal a day
i reckon that barn over yonder will do
for sleeping we're in the middle of the
worst drought on record
you just listed all these problems we're
facing
why sneak out here
fix some random person's tractor you
know you just said it yourself what
good as a running tractor when we ain't
got no money
seed
fertilizer you know nothing
don't worry about tomorrow
tomorrow i'll worry about itself
each new day has got enough trouble of
its own why would anybody risk something
like that with such a little reward you
know you don't even know us
i've got something you don't
what would that be
oh
we got a deal
[Music]
got a deal
thank you for believing in me
i won't let you down

[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
you were making progress
well the soil's in great condition and
we've been fortunate too the equipment's
holding up
god is good

all the time it's kind of hard to
believe that sometimes
well i know what it is to be in need
i know what it is to have plenty
i've learned the secret to happiness is
to be content
in every in any situation
it's getting late
i'm gonna turn in for the night

a few weeks ago
ma'am mr gravitt
my wife and i have been thinking about
what you said

family for over 50 years

we thought about what you said and we
prayed
we want to help
you guys kidding me
we believe in you
and
pastors of rose creek farm
[Laughter]
[Music]
with david's help i began to believe we
would find our way through
maybe i'd never be happy here
but we could survive
and i could be grateful for that
maybe being grateful would be enough
i couldn't help but think of my dad and
wonder why that hadn't been enough for
him
but my dad's burdens would have to wait
i had my own
afternoon

game let's go
i didn't kill mistakes relax
what in the heck is going on not sure
sheriff what do you mean not sure all
inmates are accounted for who ordered
the lockdown we lost power in the main
jail
backup generators failed what was the
cause appears to have started in the
visitor area
was anybody in there at the time
no not a visitor
several lights exploded and there was a
small electrical fire that broke out as
well
get the surveillance video up
trying to get that up now sir
milk
where did your little friend magically
disappeared
sheriff i know what happened the night
of the accident
i was not driving my truck when this day
just got right
are you feeling okay
i wasn't drinking alcohol either
set you up
deputy jones
killed miss davis
deputy jones
set you up
actually ran over miss davis he knocked
me unconscious look i know it's been a
little exciting around here
but i want to get you checked out
remember i'm not just making stuff up
trying to get out of here this is the
truth
sure
i believe
cher
you might want to take a look at this
what you got
we lost all video in every backup
something calls a massive electrical
search what about the front nature's
camera
we would wine rewind camera too
i think we've been having some problems
with that one lately
what about the front outside here
any footage of the visitor leaving
let's take a look
the camera's working fine
no footage of the visitor actually
morning sarah good morning
had a little uh incident down at the
jail the other day is milton okay
he's fine
but what can you tell me about this uh
drifter
thing david
we hired him to do some day labor around
the farm uh
i haven't seen him in a couple days
he just kind of does his own thing
and where does he stay
he stays over there in the barn uh
did david do something wrong
no no just
i need to speak with him you if i take a
look around
make yourself at home
foreign
so
[Music]
what can i do for you doc
i must have gone through this report
hundred times
life of me i can't put my hands on the
toxicology results
i know we put him in here
that's strange i
agree it's very strange
that's a simple fix i'll call down get
another copy i'm going to call you with
the results first
would you do that for me absolutely
thank you got it have a good day sheriff
be safe
sheriff darden uh dr adam's on the phone
yeah
y'all in here just want to let you know
i got those results back toxicology came
back clean no signs of alcohol or any
other controlled substances is that
right
you sure about that yeah you'll have a
copy of the full report by tomorrow any
other questions don't hesitate to
call okay
okay
thank you
yeah take care bye
everything okay sure
you want a nate
have a seat
in preparation for milton's trial we
need to review his police report on the
ultimate accident
making sure we're ready
sure
i need our report to be
airtight
well everything he needs right there
double and triple checked it
that's my concern
i've noticed some
inconsistencies
in fact it
appears
sloppy
well
likely just a simple oversight
clear up real quick
let me see it
did i forget to fill that in
there's no mention of a sobriety test
yeah it's an innocent little mistake
you saw the liquor bottle in the photos
and he smelled like a brewery
i'm gonna ask you one more time
did you administer breathalyzer at the
time you detained milton
milton was belligerent uh
he was combative and then he resisted
arrest
and and then he he fled the scene so i
was unable to administer newton
fled yes he fled the scene in his truck
and then he hit miss davis and then
eventually wrecked
all the crime scene evidence
corroborates that this is exactly what
happened so let me just
fill out the report sheriff and we'll
move on if you are unable to administer
the proper test in the field
why didn't you ask for a
blood test once at the hospital
you know what sheriff i i don't know
what you're driving at
but i got 17 years exemplary service and
i'm not about to have some hillbilly
country bumpkin question my report in my
investigation how do you expect the
prosecution to convict milton and if you
cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that he was intoxicated
we had samples tested in the lab
milton's blood alcohol level was zero
point zero
zero milton fled the scene all right and
he killed someone that's what this is
really about i'm sure that's how it
milton killed an innocent woman
is this
your son
milton's is responsible for my son's
death
deputy jones
you're under arrest milton's got to pay
for what he did to my son
you can't do this your weapon on the
desk
[Music]
you have the right to remain silent
anything you say cannon will be used to
get you in the court of law
you have the right to an attorney if you
cannot afford one one will be appointed
to you
deputies
the lab results came back
you're being released
immediately
all charges dropped
i am
i still want to
talk to your friend
about the little internet
near the jailhouse
sir
[Music]
are you okay
fine oh you look good
all right let's get you out of here
so sheriff jardin stopped by a couple
times looking for david said there was a
disturbance to the jail
yeah there's like a power surge
something like that during the storm
it's strange
so david just left didn't say goodbye
did he leave a note
nothing
all right let's get you out of here
i've got something to show you
david had tried to show me that the
seeds of hope are far more fertile than
seeds of doubt
and staring out at our once barren
fields
i had never been more sure that was true
i only wish i had the chance to thank
him
for all he'd done
and just say goodbye
how you doing i'm doing just fine thank
you
you know i've been coming here since i
was a kid
i don't think i've ever seen it this
abundant
yes ma'am i mean we truly
have been blessed
truly
that'll be twenty four dollars please
five
forty six forty seven
eight this is amazing
two
two three
it's there
it's all there
are you serious
enough to cover the tax bill
the seed the fertilizer
the mortgage
mom
oh my god is everything okay it's milton
is milton her come on
hold on leave it we gotta go
come on
oh surprise
come on let's go
[Music]
my dad never got to ride in that hot air
balloon when he was alive
but up there a thousand feet in the air
my mom and i
we felt his presence
together
we released his burdens
every one of them
and we never
felt so free
yeah
scared me
where have you been you know is
everything okay a little worried
i'm fine
just had to tend to a few other things
you didn't say goodbye
looks like your prayers are answered
yes they have
i've never seen anything like this
before i mean
i never got to thank you this was not
possible without your help
you're welcome
i was wondering if you ever come back
for your money
keep it
short money
no
we had an agreement i was never here for
the money
why'd you come back
unfinished business
david once told me that the secret to
happiness is to be content
no matter your situation
i don't know if i'll end up working on
the farm like my dad did
or playing in the majors and finding my
way into the hall of fame
what i do know
is that my life isn't going to make me
happy
[Music]
my happiness is going to make my life
[Music]
[Music]
do
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
