Doug Malo Gives Update On Syko Stu, Doesn’t Doubt Raja Jackson Will Be Arrested

Doug Malo has given an update on Syko Stu and shared his thoughts on Raja Jackson in a new interview discussing last month’s incident. Malo was the talent who pulled Jackson off of Stu during the incident at KnokX Pro late last month, and he appeared on the Scaling Up podcast where he gave an update on the whole situation as he knows it. You can see highlights below, per Fightful:

On if he believes Jackson will be arrested: “There is not a doubt in my mind. Everything is on tape and on video. It is premeditated. LAPD tends to drag their feet. The detective asked me a bunch of questions. I even asked about my implications. He goes, ‘There is nothing to worry about.’ He was just trying to get compliance. Everything is towards Raja. He asked a couple of other questions about other videos and people in the back. Not for implication, just because he’s trying to get information. He’s building a solid case.

“I talked to a detective friend of mine outside of the case about formalities and what I should look at and what not to look at. He was saying this is how LAPD work, they drag their feet. They’re building their case to get all the evidence. The state is going to pick it up because there are so many people and witnesses. My little brother saw it. My girlfriend, my mom, all the people there. They have enough evidence to try the case. What they’re trying to figure out is what level of premediation, from my understanding. They’re trying to figure out what conversations took place, what conversations mean. He was asking me what specific terms mean exactly and what they mean to the person they are telling them to. It’s so there. I don’t want to speculate or say anything else. It’s all there.”

On saying on TMZ that Jackson shouldn’t go to jail: “I felt, at the time, there was so much going into that. This kid is so volatile that he should have never been put in that situation. The guy who brought him there was supposed to be his coach and mentor. If I were somebody’s coach or mentor, I would never in my life allow them to be in any type of danger to themselves, their livelihoods, their families. I’m responsible for this person. He shouldn’t have a max jail sentence over this because there are so many moving pieces involved. I have a little bit of compassion. He’s put in this bad situation. He’s hyped up and have all these moving pieces. Nobody wanted to be an adult and have a better conversation than what took place. A sentence that is substantial but not overdoing it with a mandatory, ‘You can’t have parole or anything early until you have a mandatory health evaluation and therapy program.’”

how Stu is doing and if he’s aware of everything happening: “When you have a head injury, you can’t stress that person. Depending on where he’s at in recovery, they have to break it to him slowly. If you’re hearing that he doesn’t know exactly what’s happening, that’s the doctor’s orders. Any stress, anything that causes him sadness, anger, grief or any of those things can set him back mentally. He’s going to be in a state of fog. When you already have PTSD and trauma, and now you’re adding another traumatic event, it’s the perfect storm for all type of bad things to happen. The whole goal is a full recovery. I do know that he knows the events because some of the people that shouldn’t have been in that hospital room, and gave his family space, showed up to the hospital room and showed him stuff that he wasn’t supposed to see.”

On whether Stu is likely to sue Jackson: “I know from a decent source that there are lawyers involved. There is a high probability of that.”
