1
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.199
All right, folks, we have a heck of a lineup

2
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:16.760
for you today, so welcome back. In a quick look

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:21.239
at the topics. In Louisiana, there is a crackdown on litterbugs,

4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:26.399
but is the law constitutional or just trash?

5
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:28.760
That joke was garbage.

6
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:31.679
I thought it was hilarious.

7
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.679
I did that, Joseph.

8
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.759
Just trash. They're picking up letter, get it, I got

9
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.280
it all right. Also in Louisiana, a festival turns into

10
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:44.880
a nightmare for some eighteen people after a man plows

11
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:49.240
into a crowd while drunk. In Tennessee, a school board

12
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.880
members under review after telling a high schooler she is

13
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.439
hot in the middle of a public meeting. We'll talk

14
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.479
about that. In Kentucky, the winner of the one seventy

15
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.400
six million dollars power ball is arrested for the third

16
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.719
time since winning. He just can't seem to stay out

17
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.760
of trouble. Kelly, we're gonna talk about him.

18
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:10.400
Got to hate that.

19
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.840
Yeah, we got all this, plus segments including they Stole

20
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:18.280
What What? True Crime, Time Machine, and a news segment

21
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:23.079
we're calling utterly unrelated. It's a jam packed show today,

22
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.000
some fourteen or so stories we're bringing you so let's

23
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.640
get into it. On Crime War Weekly, I'm Jim Chapman

24
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:36.000
and I'm Kelly Jim Kelly. It's finally after Easter. It is.

25
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:37.959
I won't have to say Happy Easter for you were

Oh, you'll probably say it next week. Yeah, and I'll

00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.159
be like, it's gonna be a year for now, y'all.

29
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.400
If you listen to Kelly's been yeah, she's been wishing

30
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.239
Happy Easter for like four episodes.

31
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.239
Now, I love Easter. Okay, I'm with the past all colors,

32
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.120

The vape man they hit a nerve? Did everybody on

Wire Weekly Facebook, I do a lot of these little captions,

42
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.039
if you will. It's it's kind of like a headline

43
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.439
of this of a particular story that we covered on

44
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.639
each show, and one of those you likely saw was

45
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.719
about the lady who hit the vape and she's a

46
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.360
teacher and it was testing week and man, everybody on

They come at me. How is that? Names? Free Becky,

49
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:49.759

50
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.759
Don't kill the messenger. Man, We're just yeah, telling you

51
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:53.759
what made the headlines.

52
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.280
Yeah, they're like, we don't blame her.

53
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:56.639
I like my teacher's hive.

54
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.879
Well yeah, so anyway, go check out the TikTok if

55
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.439
you want to. I think it's at.

56
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.919
Exposed Something podcast hosts.

57
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.000
Yeah, there you go, So go check that out. All right,

58
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.000
let's get into it. We're starting out in Louisiana, and

59
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.719
lettering in Louisiana is no longer just a bad habit.

60
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.199
It's increasingly likely to result in a ticket. Now. That's

61
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.199
thanks to a strengthened statewide enforcement program that lets everyday

62
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.400
citizens report offenders directly. Lieutenant Governor Billy Nung guessers and

63
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.599
state agencies or ramping up efforts to combat the notorious

64
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.439
litter problem. It's estimated it costs taxpayers about one hundred

65
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.639
million dollars annually to clean up the state. Under a

66
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.960
new system that took effect this year, witnesses can actually

67
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.680
call an anti litter hotline and provide key details like

68
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.560
a license plate number, make model, location, time of incident,

69
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.240
and any photos or video. They sign an affidavit, and

70
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.360
the violator then receives an official ticket in the with

71
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.639
no knowledge of who reported them. Boy, we're going to

72
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.840
get into this in a second. Previously, the hotline, launched

73
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.159
in partnership with the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries in

74
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.639
the Lieutenant Governor's office, resulted in mostly warning letters. Last

75
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.040
year or alone, the state mailed out eight hundred and

76
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.639
seventy such notices, But a law passed during the twenty

77
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.600
twenty five legislative session ended that this what's known as

78
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.920
Acts sixty seven, enforces authority and expands it, which allowed

79
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.120
state park rangers to issue citations for letter violations anywhere

80
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.759
in Louisiana, not just parts. So if you reported someone littering,

81
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.920
you sign an AFFI, David, don't worry, they won't know

82
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.120
you reported them. That from Billy Nungesser, and I'm going

83
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.800
to tear into that. We have a very dirty state,

84
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:51.560
and if you keep your pedal on the gas for

85
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.560
the next five years, we can clean up the state.

86
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.480
I'm telling you we're making progress. And the penalties in this, folks,

87
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.600
are no joke. Convicted litterary face finds ranging from one

88
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.720
hundred and seventy five dollars to one thousand dollars plus

89
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.920
court costs. So, for example, I'm gonna give you simple lettering,

90
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.399
which is like if you have a truck bed and

91
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.120
you have a Walmart bag in there and it flies

92
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.199
out on the highway, you can get up to one

93
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.160
hundred and seventy five dollars ticket. Intentional lettering, which would

94
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.079
be like tossing a coke cane out of a window

95
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.519
up to two hundred and fifty dollars. And gross littering

96
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.839
is the third level there, and that's also known as

97
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.040
illegal dumping. You have a couch that you want to

98
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:35.560
get rid of and you pull up and you just

99
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.879
push it out of the car, that is considered gross

100
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.120
lettering and you can get thousand dollars for that, and

101
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.079
I agree with that incidentally, but I'm gonna get into

102
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.279
the process. Offenders must also complete up to eight hours

103
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:51.199
in litter abatement work, which means they're gonna be picking

104
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.319
up trash on the side of the interstate and none.

105
00:05:54.399 --> 00:06:01.560
Guesser is also pushing education and prevention with this bill. So, Kelly,

106
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.839
give me your thoughts and then I'm gonna give you mine, Okay.

107
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.839
Uh, I think that this bill's probably had good intention,

108
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.680
Like there's there's great So you said the couch thing,

109
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.879
and that's kind of funny because that just happened.

110
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.639
So yeah, out in front of your Yeah, someone.

111
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.399
Someone threw a whole couch out right behind my fence

112
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.199
of my home, and I'm like, are you serious? Now,

113
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.920
let me tell you what happened. About five months ago. Uh,

114
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.480
someone threw a mattress out and it landed right up

115
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.519
against my fence, and then rats got in it and

116
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.079
started breeding, and we started having a rat problem between

117
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.800
me and my neighbors because of all these rats.

118
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.959
Do you know. Uh?

119
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.920
It took me about two weeks making phone calls trying

120
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.079
to get someone, and no one wanted to take responsibility

121
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.600
for the mattress. So I got mad and I was like, well,

122
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.079
what if I just drag it out and you know,

123
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.279
in the roadway, and then someone hits it? Do you care?

124
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:51.480
Then?

125
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.160
And they're like, ma'am, you can't do that. Well, then

126
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.600
someone needs to come get this because I can't take it,

127
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.240
you know, in my car to you know who's responsible.

128
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.560
So part of me goes, hell yeah, when these large

129
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.600
objects are just being dumped because people don't want to

130
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.720
go pay the fee to go to the dump and

131
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:12.759
dump it. But like an unintentionable, unintentional bag flying out

132
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.040
of here, Chuck Ben, that's kind of steep.

133
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.279
Yeah, well I agree, But let me tell you my

134
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.759
problems with this. And look, nobody out there is detest

135
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.560
litterbugs more than Jim Chapman. I promise you. I can't

136
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.480
stand it when I see people litter. I have a

137
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.680
lot of problems with this bill though. First of all,

138
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.360
Billy Nonguesser is full of shit when he says that

139
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.839
you can remain anonymous, And let me tell you why.

140
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.959
In the Constitution you are guaranteed to have the opportunity

141
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.360
to face your accuser, which means if you go to court,

142
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.160
if you say, you know what, I didn't litter and

143
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.920
you get a quarter over this, you can get what's

144
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.959
called discovery. And part of discoveries who reported you? And

145
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.959
that's very important in this case, because if you have

146
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.199
a pissed off ex wife, or you cut a guy

147
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.639
off in traffic and just because he thinks it's funny

148
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:09.959
and he wants to waste your time, and believe it

149
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.120
or not, there are people out there like that. They

150
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.839
can report this guy littered and they're gonna send you.

151
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.199
You won't even know anything happened until you get the

152
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.120
ticket in the mail, and they're gonna say, you know,

153
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.240
a freaking month ago, you throw a coke can out. Well,

154
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.120
if Jim Chapman got that, because I know I don't letter,

155
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.000
I would know right off that's bullshit, and I would

156
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.000
want to know who reported it, and I have a

157
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.559
right by law to know that because it's very important.

158
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.039
If you have someone out there that is maliciously saying

159
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.279
that and it's you, it turns out to be your

160
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.120
ex wife, it probably be good for the police to.

161
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.120
Make and you know for a fact that that's gonna happen.

162
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.639
It's one that's gonna happen. And I'm not saying I'm

163
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.919
sure it's gonna be a low percentage of what's out there,

164
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.240
but if it's one, there's no way this is gonna

165
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:00.720
hold up in court, to me, Uh, we already pay

166
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:06.000
people to enforce littering law. They're called the police, they're you.

167
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.080
Know, and I know that your abatement programs to that.

168
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:10.879
Well, they pick up the trash, but they don't enforce it.

169
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.399
The police enforce litter law, and we already pay them

170
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.559
through tax dollars to do that. I know they don't

171
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.240
necessarily want to waste their time, nor do I want

172
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.320
police going out there, you know, but if it's a problem,

173
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.360
that's who's paid to report, write tickets, those sort of things.

174
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.360
Because this leads to other things. The next thing is

175
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.320
you can report people not wearing a seat belt, and

176
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.320
then you can report people speeding, and then next thing,

177
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.840
you know, it's the Walmart checkout, Yeah, the self checkout. Right,

178
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.240
that citizens policing themselves. And I just don't agree with this.

179
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:51.639
I hate litterbugs. I appreciate the spirit of the bill, Yeah,

180
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.120
but there are way too many problems with this. There's

181
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.879
way too many people that could do this for malicious reasons,

182
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.639
and unless they required some sort of I don't think

183
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.759
you should just be able to send somebody a ticket. Yeah.

184
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.960
I don't either, And so my mind would go more

185
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.440
towards like our waterways. You know, people dump in our

186
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.360
waterways to try to just get rid of things, and

187
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.919
it does cause you know, people that aren't from here.

188
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.279
You know, we do have people that'll throw like refrigerators

189
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.519
and things like in the ditches and stuff like that.

190
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.360
That to me, if you saw someone doing that, I

191
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:22.919
think people should be held accountable for that.

192
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:26.240
Totally agree, yes, but like you said, you know, you

193
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.720
need some sort of person, some sort of just say

194
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.240
someone throw a cat, because you have a.

195
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.039
Right, like you said to Discovery, but you know, how

196
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.679
can you possibly defend yourself two months later if someone

197
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.320
says that you did something You're like, wait.

198
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.399
What, like what proven to me?

199
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:46.600
Idea, yeah, yeah, And so what what's likely they're thinking

200
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.039
is going to happen is they know that a lot

201
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:49.320
of these are gonna get thrown out in court. But

202
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.320
then you're backing up the court system with things that

203
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.840
are going to just be bullshit and somewhat you know

204
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.240
they're not going to hold hold too. So maybe it

205
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.480
needs some refine here. I agree. I like the spirit

206
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.720
of the bill, but I come on like the smaller

207
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.960
I mean, I know you're not supposed to throw cigarettes

208
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.200
out the window, even cigarette butts right, and you can

209
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.759
get a ticket for that. But people who are just

210
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.960
wanting to get people in trouble will cause them problems.

211
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:18.320
That's what's gonna take over here.

212
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.039
There are some people that just don't have good intentions,

213
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.919
and you road rate, they rode rage with you, and

214
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:27.679
they may just do that just because they got nothing

215
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:28.080
better to do.

216
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.240
Next time you pissed me off, I'm gonna write Jim

217
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:32.120
Chapman on a Walmart bag and I'm gonna throw it

218
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.639
behind your car and take a picture of it and say, see.

219
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.200
Right, well according to this according to this bill, I'd

220
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.360
have to pay a ticket over that, whether I did

221
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:39.720
it or not.

222
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.279
And then all of a sudden there's a Walmart bag

223
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.799
war you and I. Yeah, all right, let's move on

224
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:47.799
to well, actually were gonna stay in Louisiana, We're gonna

225
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:50.080
go to New Iberia. A fifty seven year old man

226
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.720
was arrested Saturday after his vehicle plowed into a crowd

227
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.919
of parade goers at a New Iberia festival. So this

228
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.240
included injuring eighteen people. Louisiana State Police identified the driver

229
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.879
as Todd Landry, and troopers say he was driving while

230
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:08.399
impaired when the crash occurred at around two thirty pm

231
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:13.720
near the intersection of Savannicuette Street and Malansas Road in

232
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:17.039
the Brussard area, which is just outside of New Iberia.

233
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.759
According to investigators, Landry's truck struck multiple pedestrians participating in

234
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.120
the parade. The Iberia Pari Sheriff's Office confirmed that eighteen

235
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.159
to nineteen people were evaluated and treated at area hospitals,

236
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:32.519
with some sustaining serious injuries. Several victims were reportedly trapped

237
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.879
under the vehicle or involved in secondary chaos, including a

238
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.840
flipped golf cart, before being freed. Landry showed obvious signs

239
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.559
of impairment at the scene, Troopers said a breath sample

240
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.960
later revealed a blood alcohol concentration of zero point one

241
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.399
three seven, nearly twice Louisiana's legal limit of point oh eight.

242
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.039
He was taken into custody and booked into the jail

243
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.320
on the following charges, driving while impaired. His first defense

244
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.840
eighteen counts of first degree negligent injuring, careless opper, open

245
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.720
container of alcohol in the vehicle, but the crash does

246
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.000
not seem to have been intentional. According to the Sheriff's Office.

247
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:12.360
Louisiana State Police Troop One is continuing the investigation. Festival

248
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:16.639
organizers and attendees described the scenes shifting rapidly from celebration

249
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.440
to chaos as the vehicle entered the parade route. Video

250
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.159
footage circulating on social media showed injured people on the

251
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.600
ground and first responders rushing to assist. Many of those

252
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.279
hospitalized have since been treated and released. The Louisiana Allow

253
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.879
Your Low New Year Festival is an annual cultural event

254
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.360
celebrating the Loation community in the region with parades, food,

255
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.399
and traditional performances.

256
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:43.080
Yeah, first of all, I have a problem with the

257
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.759
sheriff saying it wasn't intentional because you got behind the

258
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:49.320
wheel drunk. Now, it may have not been his intent

259
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:53.039
to plowing eighteen people, and I'm not saying it was,

260
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.600
but that is what happened, and that was not an accident.

261
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.919
When you choose to get behind the wheel drunk, which

262
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.360
is what he did, he could have killed eighteen people.

263
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.039
And so this is a question and it's a concern.

264
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.879
You know, this is his first defense DWI. It's not

265
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:14.480
like his fourth. So typically with first defense DUIs or dwis,

266
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.759
it's pretty much a slap on the rest. It seems

267
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:22.399
like these days. I don't know how much the plowing

268
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.200
into eighteen people will play a part in this, but

269
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.679
I sure hope it plays a big part.

270
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.360
Yeah.

271
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.320
I could have killed eighteen people, absolutely.

272
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:31.679
I mean you're driving a bomb down the road under

273
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:32.679
the influence.

274
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.039
Right, yeah, and you know too many options.

275
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:38.960
I obviously wasn't there, but usually parade routes have barriers

276
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.240
and it's very clear that you there's a parade route there,

277
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.000
or you know, there's a celebration going on. So you

278
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.720
must have been pretty damn impaired to miss all of

279
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.960
that and then potentially take the lives of people. And

280
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.919
you have to think long term. If you've got broken legs,

281
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.639
broken limbs, you know, you might have hit somebody who

282
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.000
climbs a powerpole for a living. You know, they're the

283
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:03.200
breadwinner of their home. Now very much affected long term

284
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:08.320
some people's livelihoods and possibly their way of living. So

285
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:10.519
it's more than just injuring people. I mean long term,

286
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.759
these people are going to face some serious, you know,

287
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.960
potentially some serious struggles as a result of this. Did

288
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:18.600
they say if there were any children? Have you seen

289
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.519
any updates? I'm assuming there were.

290
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.039
I would assume that at a festival. I'm sure there was.

291
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:25.320
I haven't seen.

292
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.279
Hey, prayers, seriously, prayers to the people that were involved

293
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.120
in that, and for a speedy recovery and that people

294
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:35.120
can move on quickly from this one. But you can't

295
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.159
just say sorry when you hit eighteen people.

296
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.799
No, So we'll keep y'all posted for sure on the

297
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.519
sentence for this one, because it'll be interesting to see

298
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:48.200
what this first offender gets sentenced to, even considering the

299
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:53.320
extenuating circumstances. All right, let's go on to Tennessee and

300
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:58.120
a Washington County school board member is facing formal review

301
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.799
after a video of him telling a teenage female student quote, God,

302
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.879
you're hot, you know that unquote by placing his arms

303
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.840
around her during a public meeting went viral. This marked outrage,

304
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:16.200
obviously among parents, and calls for his resignation. The incident

305
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:20.360
occurred last week. This was that the regularly scheduled Washington

306
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.480
County School Board meeting. A high school student had just

307
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:29.559
finished presenting research comparing different schools when district board member

308
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.320
Keith Irvin, seated next to this female student, made the

309
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.559
remark and asked where she attended school. Video footage even

310
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.000
showed Irvin putting her his arm around the student as

311
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.639
he spoke to her. Superintendent Jerry Boyd described the moment

312
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:51.480
as creating an immediately uncomfortable situation in the room. A quote,

313
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.039
in all honesty, it certainly was an uncomfortable situation. You know,

314
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.120
there's a lot of nervousness in that room, Boyd said.

315
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.039
He also added, the board a high level of professionalism,

316
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.599
and certainly it's being discussed and questionable whether or not

317
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.039
the comment met that standard. I think that's putting it

318
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:14.519
very politically speaking. He also said, I believe the general

319
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:19.960
belief is no the meeting continued when the student when

320
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.599
the student basically sat back down because according to the

321
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.720
school board, there was no immediate threat at that point

322
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.000
in time. The district board's chair described the comment as

323
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.079
grossly inappropriate, and the full board is now reviewing the matters.

324
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.279
Officials say they will take action if it's deemed necessary.

325
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.480
Irvin has not publicly responded to the controversy, and the

326
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:47.839
student's family also declined to comment. Parents, however, reacted swiftly

327
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.240
and sharply. Hillary Hayley, a district parent, said the comments

328
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.119
weren't acceptable. As a member of the school board, he's

329
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:58.640
responsible for our children's health and welfare and safety and education,

330
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:01.480
and the display put on tells me he should be

331
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:06.480
nowhere around our children. The clips spread rapidly on social media,

332
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:11.960
prompting a petition and plan protest demaning Irvin's removals. Some

333
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:16.440
parents of question whether Irving, who faced prior discipline, not

334
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:20.119
for something like that, but he's been in trouble before

335
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.680
in the school board, remains fit to serve. Washington County

336
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:28.480
officials emphasize the student's safety and professionalism our top priorities,

337
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.119
and the board is expected to address the process soon,

338
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:36.440
though no specific timeline for a decision has been announced publicly.

339
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:39.559
So before we get to your comments kJ on this,

340
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:43.599
I want everyone out there to hear the following short

341
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:46.880
clip because it's important that you hear this firsthand. So

342
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:52.640
here's that clip. God, you're heart, you know that. Where

343
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:55.200
do you go? All right?

344
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.559
Don't you use your own perception of life to determine

345
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.759
what the hell going on? Sometimes? Because you know, when

346
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.119
I think of high school kids, which I taught them

347
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.759
for a long time, I can never, not one time

348
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:13.039
ever think that I never thought that a kid was hot.

349
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:16.160
That the choice of wording is disturbing. Now, who would

350
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:17.799
you say a young girl was beautiful or that a

351
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.400
young man would be handsome, you know, or was handsome

352
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:21.960
or something? Sure, you know, you just you tell them

353
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.839
that a prom Oh you look so nice, you look handsome,

354
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.279
you look beautiful. It's a very respectful way of telling

355
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.119
a child. But what in the hell, why would you

356
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.480
look how inappropriate in front of other people and openly

357
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:35.960
and then reach over and huger, God, you're hot? That

358
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:39.880
is that's weird.

359
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.559
That is weird. Yeah, well it's cringy as fuck. Yeah,

360
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.480
pardon my French, but it sickens me out, y'all. This

361
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:52.039
is an older man and as he's saying this, he's

362
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:56.440
pulling her towards him. And let me tell you, there's

363
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.599
such a thing out there as a Freudian slap, and

364
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.119
all that basically means is something you think you accidentally say.

365
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:06.920
And I can tell you this guy did not plan

366
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:09.440
on that coming out of his mouth in public. That,

367
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:13.720
in my opinion, was a Fordian slept And this guy's

368
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.640
got issues because that's what he was thinking in his

369
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:20.319
head and it just came out. Yeah, before he knew.

370
00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:22.519
It, and it had nothing to do with anything that

371
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.519
they were talking about.

372
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:25.839
That he was looking at her and thinking she was

373
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:29.640
hot and it slept. Yeah, if that was he ought

374
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.079
to be he ought to be out of there.

375
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.960
Now. He's too big of a liability. And I'm not

376
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:35.839
saying that he's a he's a predator who's going to

377
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:37.720
run out and just start, you know, raping kids or something.

378
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.480
But what I'm saying is that if you can't control

379
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.000
yourself in a meeting in front of other people, in

380
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:44.839
gravity high.

381
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.200
School kids, saying God, you're hot and putting your arms

382
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.480
around her, yeah, inappropriate? Man. Yeah.

383
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:50.720
I don't think there's any defense of that.

384
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:52.039
Nope at all.

385
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:53.759
I don't. I don't know what he's gonna No wonder

386
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:54.559
he hadn't said anything.

387
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.200
What he's say.

388
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.839
Oh my goodness. All right. Let's go to Indiana, where

389
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.880
a mother is facing nine counts of first degree murder

390
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.359
after prosecutors say she lured the father of her two

391
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.319
young children with the promise of a late night surprise

392
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:13.279
back massage into her car and then shot him execution

393
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.279
style in the head, before driving to his parents' suburban

394
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:20.519
home and gunning them down as well. Jenna's Struggle, thirty

395
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.680
years old of Saint John, Indiana, is accused in the

396
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.519
triple homicide of thirty two year old Jacob, who went

397
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.519
by Jake Lambert, and his parents, fifty four year old

398
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.599
Stacy Ford and fifty five year old Patrick Ford. The

399
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:35.599
killings occurred in the early morning hours in Chicago's Far

400
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:40.200
South suburbs. Strubel I keep saying Struble, it's Strubble, which

401
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.160
is yeah, but she's like in Trouble and her name

402
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.000
is Trouble. It's kind of interesting Struggle, you know, all right.

403
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:50.039
Strubble picked up Lambert between eleven and eleven thirty pm

404
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:53.119
on March twenty second. Instead of heading home, She told

405
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.440
him she had a quote unquote surprise and offered to

406
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.119
give him a back massage because he had been complaining

407
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:01.200
about back paint. She pulled over her on Burnham Road,

408
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:05.000
which is near this small village, and instructed him to

409
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.240
remove his shirt and hat, recline in the passenger seat,

410
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.119
and lie face down. Struggle then used a massage gun

411
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:16.000
she had purchased and rubbed his back for approximately twenty minutes.

412
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:18.319
So it sounds like things were going pretty well.

413
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:23.799
Yeah, But in the car in the car, so hey, but.

414
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:28.119
You can't deny you know that that's what he was thinking, right, This.

415
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:34.400
Is massage gun out man, Yeah, all right, gear.

416
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.279
But then Lambert criticized her massage technique.

417
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.279
Up there you go there guns you want to mess

418
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:42.799
it up? Quick criticized.

419
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:47.640
But then this is beyond just almost jokes, because Struggle

420
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:50.680
allegedly reached under the seat for a glock handgun that

421
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:53.440
she had bought in December, and then she had fitted

422
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.119
it with a you're ready for this silencer that she

423
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.680
ordered online months earlier. Prosecutors say she held the gun

424
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:01.559
to the back of his head for about eight minutes

425
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:04.799
while contemplating whether to pull the trigger before firing the

426
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:09.000
fatal shot. After the shooting, Struggle allegedly drove to the

427
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:12.720
Ford family, which was on the East Norway Trail in

428
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:16.960
unincorporated Crete Township, where she fatally shot both of Lambert's parents.

429
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:20.440
Court document state she had previously described them as overbearing.

430
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:22.920
Struggled then returned to her home in Saint John, where

431
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.480
her thre and four year old were and the children

432
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.559
were both parented by Lambert and they were both staying

433
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.440
at the residence. She was arrested there Later that day,

434
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.400
and after making incriminating statements to family members, a firearm

435
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:40.440
recovered from her home matched the murder weapon, and shocking

436
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.759
new details revealed in the prosecutor's findings. Struggle told investigators

437
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.440
she had also considered killing her own parents, but was

438
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:50.000
unsure whether she would have the quote nerve to do

439
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.279
it end quote. Struggle waived extradition from Indiana and is

440
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.920
being held without bond at the Will County Adult Detention

441
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:57.279
Center in Juliet.

442
00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:59.839
I mean, I don't even know what to think of

443
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.480
about that. This thing starts off as, uh, something fun,

444
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:10.400
and this woman just absolutely lost her mind. Premeditated, criticized

445
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:11.839
about her technique she.

446
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.720
Was looking for for an opening. You don't buy a silencer.

447
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:15.839
You don't need a silencer.

448
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:18.720
Eh, I got a silencer.

449
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:20.079
I'm not riding with you.

450
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.920
Then, well, I mean, I don't have it for a pistol.

451
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:24.640
That is kind of weird for a pistol. But you.

452
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.160
Know what I'm saying. I'm saying she just bought the

453
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:35.799
silencer in December and then she's got it fitted for

454
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:36.480
a pistol.

455
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:44.960
Why go kill his parents? If it were We're not premeditated, right, Like? Uh,

456
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:49.559
that right there completely closes the whole. I didn't plan

457
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:53.720
on doing it. Temporary insanity, please, Yeah, I'm wondering if

458
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.759
they were aggravating or whatever you said, Yeah, overbearing? Overbearing?

459
00:24:57.880 --> 00:24:59.960
Yeah, so what it sounds like if you want to

460
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:01.519
kill her own parents too? And again, this is just

461
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:03.720
my own opinion. There's nothing that I know about this

462
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.039
case beyond what I've told you. But maybe they all

463
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.279
were sinsing. There was something going on with her, and

464
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:11.920
everybody was kind of being critical of whatever that might be,

465
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:14.200
and that's why she wiped everybody out. But I think

466
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.640
that silencer is going to play a big role in

467
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:18.680
her not you know, she's not gonna be able to

468
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:23.039
argue that it was just part of them for the moment.

469
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:24.240
I temporary insaneity.

470
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:26.759
Yeah, I think that that purchasing of that silencer is

471
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:27.920
gonna play a.

472
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:31.640
Big rule in it, probably right, All right? Well, I

473
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:33.480
wish I could say we're going to lighten it up

474
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.200
a little bit, but not quite yet. We are, however,

475
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:39.319
going to jump on the true crime time.

476
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:40.839
Machine booby doo be doo b do b do b

477
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:44.480
doo b do, And this time.

478
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:46.480
We're not going far from home. We're going to get

479
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:49.799
to New Orleans, and I'm going to tell you about

480
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.799
April tenth of eighteen thirty four. Okay, this day in

481
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:57.799
eighteen thirty four. So on the morning of April tenth,

482
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:02.279
eighteen thirty four, flames tore through an elegant three story

483
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:05.279
mansion on Rural Street in the heart of the French

484
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.640
quarter to the city's elite. It was the home of

485
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:13.720
Madame Delphine la Larie. That's easy to say, yeah, she

486
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:18.079
was a prominent Creole socialite, known for her wealth, lavish parties,

487
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.920
and seemingly refined manners. But what rescuers uncovered amid the

488
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.240
smoking chaos would expose one of the most barbaric episodes

489
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:32.559
of cruelty in the Antebellum Louisiana history. A secret attic

490
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:38.400
chamber where enslaved men, women and children had endured systematic torture.

491
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:42.599
Firefighters and bystanders rushed to the scene as smoked bellowed

492
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:46.200
from the kitchen. Inside, they found a seventy year old

493
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:50.960
enslaved woman, the household cook, chained by her ankle to

494
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:54.920
the stove. She had deliberately set the fire. She later

495
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:59.680
confessed in a desperate suicide attempt to escape the fate

496
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:03.599
she fear most being dragged upstairs to the torture room,

497
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.279
a place where no one ever returned. While Madame La

498
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:12.920
Larie and her husband, doctor Lewis La Larie, frantically saved

499
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:16.279
their fine furniture and valuables, they refused to hand over

500
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:20.799
the keys to the slave quarters. Bystanders, including Judge Jean

501
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:26.160
Francois Canog, forced their way in, and what they discovered

502
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.440
in the attic was beyond comprehension. Seven enslaved people, more

503
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.799
or less horribly mutilated, were found suspended by their necks

504
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:39.640
with spiked iron collars that prevented any movement. Their limbs

505
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:44.519
appeared stretched and torn from repeated abuse. Many were emaciated,

506
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:49.160
covered in scars from whippings and sharp instruments. In two

507
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:53.160
week to walk, One elderly woman had a deep head wound,

508
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:57.000
another wore heavy irons on her feet, and a boy

509
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:00.000
told rescuers he had been chained there for five months,

510
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.200
fed only a handful of meal each day. He was

511
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:08.359
also subjected to daily beatings. The victims were carried on

512
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:13.000
stretchers to the city government building just blocks away, where

513
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:17.240
they received medical care. Local newspapers including The New Orleans

514
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.039
b reported the scene in graphic detail and condemned the

515
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:27.160
barbarish and fiendish atrocities committed by Madame La Larie. The

516
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:31.319
La Laries fled the city as an enraged mob ransacked

517
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:35.480
the mansion, destroying furniture and eluding what remained, and the

518
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:40.000
couple eventually escaped to France, where Delphine lived until her

519
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:43.839
death in eighteen forty nine. She never faced criminal charges

520
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:46.960
in the United States for the horse committed under her roof,

521
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.480
and prior whispers of La Larie's cruelty of circulated in

522
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:55.079
New Orleans society. In eighteen twenty eight, she had been

523
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:59.599
investigated for abusing enslaved people and forced to forfeit several

524
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.039
of them, yet her wealth and social standing shielded her

525
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:08.200
until a fire stripped away that facade. Now the discovery

526
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:13.119
sent shockwaves through the city and fueled abolitionist arguments against

527
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:17.319
the institution of slavery, and even today, the Lollery Mansion

528
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:21.160
still stands on Rural Street, a haunting reminder of the

529
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.920
brutality that once hid behind its wrought iron balconies in

530
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.000
Creole elegance, and they even do ghost tours which recount

531
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:32.680
the tale of two thousands of visitors each year, Though

532
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:37.559
many of the most gruysome later embellishments, such as victims

533
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:43.599
with brains stirred by sticks or limbs reset into grotesque shapes,

534
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:48.279
were added decades after the event and lack support of

535
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:54.079
the eighteen thirty four actual account. The events of eighteen

536
00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:57.519
thirty four on April tenth remind a stark chapter in

537
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:01.160
New Orleans dark history, one that even a fire could

538
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:04.519
not burn the way. And that is your true crime

539
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.759
time machine, what happened on April tenth of eighteen thirty four.

540
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:10.599
You know, when you go to New Orleans, if you've

541
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:14.480
never been there before, there is a lot of dark history,

542
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:17.440
but also a lot of like creepy stuff.

543
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:21.400
You know, I know that mansion. It has a big

544
00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:22.720
placard in front of it.

545
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:24.559
Well, have you ever been to the Death Museum in

546
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:25.079
New Orleans?

547
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:25.480
Yes?

548
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:27.799
Okay, I took my students there on a field trip

549
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.160
because why not. They had serial killer stuff there, and

550
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:32.079
I wanted, you know, to give the kids an exciting

551
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:36.440
kind of weird field trip. But damn, man like people

552
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:40.119
are just capable of so much that a lot of

553
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.079
us can't even contemplate.

554
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:43.599
You know, I.

555
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:47.880
Work so hard to try to protect animals and you know,

556
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.039
and creatures. I just can't imagine going to the level

557
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:52.359
of hurting a human.

558
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:52.759
Right.

559
00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:55.119
But I'll tell you this, if there's a woman I

560
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:56.960
am obsessed with right now in New Orleans. Have you

561
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:01.799
ever heard of Yvonne Lafleur. You've seen her on TikTok. Oh,

562
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:03.720
my gosh, y'all look her up if you if you

563
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:06.000
have a second. But she's a I would say she's

564
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:09.119
a socialite, but she's she's an elderly woman now, but

565
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:12.400
she owns a fine clothing store, and she has just

566
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:16.240
got all of the New Orleans class and pomp, you know,

567
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:20.079
and circumstance, and she's just lovely. So you have these

568
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:22.119
lovely people and then you have crap like that that's

569
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:24.319
happened in that, you know, in New Orleans. Is a

570
00:31:24.519 --> 00:31:25.559
right start contrast.

571
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:26.319
Yeah, you know.

572
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:29.960
Wow, All right, let's go back to current times. And

573
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:31.880
I don't think they had the power ball back then,

574
00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:34.640
to you in the in the eighteen hundreds. All right, well,

575
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.359
we got it now. But there's a big story circulating

576
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.599
on this one. So James Farthing, the Kentucky man who

577
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:43.960
claimed a record one hundred and sixty seven point three

578
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:47.880
million powerball jackpot less than a year ago, has been

579
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:52.799
arrested for the third time since his windfall. Now Farthing,

580
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:55.400
who's fifty one years old of Georgetown, was taken into

581
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:59.480
custody Saturday on charges of second degree burglary and possession

582
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:02.440
of marijuana following an alleged break in at a residence

583
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:05.960
in Lexington. According to police reports, a homeowner reported seeing

584
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.119
Farthing on security cameras attempting to enter through a side door.

585
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.279
He allegedly fled the scene in a black Porsche after

586
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:16.640
stealing approximately twelve thousand dollars in cash. Officers later located

587
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:20.200
Farthing and arrested him. A marijuana joint was reportedly found

588
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:23.880
in plane view inside his vehicle, and subsequent search uncovered

589
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:26.000
additional marijuana. I wonder if he was getting ready for

590
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:30.920
testing at the local school. You know yeah. Farthing claimed

591
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:33.839
the massive powerball prize in April twenty twenty five. After

592
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:37.279
purchasing the winning ticket. He and his mother, Linda Grizzle,

593
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.720
publicly accepted the check at a Kentucky Lottery event, instantly

594
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:43.759
becoming one of the state's largest jackpot winners in history.

595
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:47.519
His legal troubles began almost immediately. Just weeks after claiming

596
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:50.480
the prize, he was arrested in Penelas County on charges

597
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:53.319
including battery on a law enforcement officer, which he later

598
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:56.160
pled guilty to, and in February, he was arrested a

599
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.559
second time in Scott County, Kentucky, accused of intimidating a

600
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:03.519
partition in a legal process. A woman told deputy she

601
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:05.880
feared for her life while inside a home with someone

602
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.880
who had a weapon. Investigator said Farthing texted her in

603
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:11.680
an attempt to influence her statements to police. He also

604
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.279
faces an active hit and run charge in Fayette County.

605
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.599
He appeared in district court Monday, pled not guilty to

606
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:19.960
the latest burglary in marijuana charges, and so his next

607
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.759
court date is scheduled for April the twenty seventh. The

608
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:26.160
rapid succession of arrests has drawn national attention to the

609
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:30.759
cautionary tale of sudden wealth. Farthing has not commented publicly

610
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.200
on the latest charges, and his attorney told reporters quote unquote,

611
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:38.440
no comment after the arrangement. Kentucky Lottery officials have previously

612
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:41.240
noted that winners are not required to undergo financial counseling,

613
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.960
though they strongly encourage it. Farthing's case is the latest

614
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.000
profile example, a high profile example of lottery winners facing

615
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:53.000
personal and legal challenges after claiming life changing prizes.

616
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:57.200
Yeah, and just quickly on this one. First of all,

617
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:01.640
I remember hearing about this guy and in trouble several times.

618
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:04.799
But you've look. One hundred and sixty seven million dollars

619
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:09.320
is an insane amount of money, even after taxes, an

620
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:13.719
insane amount of money. And you steal fourteen thousand bucks,

621
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:17.000
that's like stealing two dollars when you got that guy,

622
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:21.119
maybe even a dollar. And whoever flees in a black Porsche.

623
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:25.519
Yeah, he's I mean, this guy, he feels untouchable, is

624
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:27.280
what I think just happened. All the things that he

625
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.039
would want to do and how he would want to

626
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.559
act out. Now he can afford the attorneys, he can

627
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.119
afford to bond out, he can afford everything. And so

628
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:36.760
he's wiling, is what it sounds like. And he's predisposed

629
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:36.880
to it.

630
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:38.159
His damn mine.

631
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:40.480
You know, I had a friend, I still have a friend.

632
00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:42.960
He's still my friend that won the Louisiana lottery a

633
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.360
while back, like years and years and years ago, and

634
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:49.239
you know, it was really cool. He obviously wasn't this big.

635
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:53.000
But the first thing he did, from my understanding, was

636
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:55.239
that he took care of his parents, you know, paid

637
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:56.719
off their house and bought well that's.

638
00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:58.079
What a lot of people, yeah, and bought and bought

639
00:34:58.119 --> 00:34:59.400
a car, not mister Farlane.

640
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:00.599
And when they bought a car, you know what, they

641
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:01.719
bought a Mazda.

642
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:05.719
So yeah, I ain't buying a Masda. But well, hey,

643
00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:08.239
you know nothing against Mazda is a great car.

644
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:09.760
What I'm saying, I got one.

645
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:11.599
Hundred and sixty seven million dollars, I'm buying.

646
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:13.320
A They didn't win that big of a prize over

647
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.519
but I'm just saying very sensible, very humble people. And

648
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:18.800
then you see people that do this, and so much

649
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:21.480
good could be done with that much money. Yeah, and

650
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:23.440
you want to go just continue to terribiut it.

651
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:26.639
Just don't break the law. I mean, you don't have to.

652
00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:29.199
You just sounded like what was the movie with U.

653
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:31.480
You don't have to go give it to go fundme

654
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:34.079
or whatever. And I think that'd be a great thing

655
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.239
to do. And but just don't break the law.

656
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.199
You sound like Jim Carrey in that movie. Liar, liar,

657
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:44.360
how about don't break the law, asshole. Yeah, I mean,

658
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:46.679
come on, dude, get it, get it together. He's got

659
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:48.079
