00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.199
Hey, folks, welcome back. Do we have some topics to

2
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.559
cover today in the world of crime news. In Louisiana,

3
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.120
the central figure in the documentary The Devilwares Dunks is

4
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.079
arrested on ten counts of rape, ten counts of extortion,

5
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.560
in four counts of sexual battery. In Massachusetts, a cop

6
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.520
on cop chuting leads to a highly publicized trial and

7
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.880
an acquittal for Kelsey Fitzsimmons. In Florida, golfer Tiger Woods

8
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:52.840
continues his issues with dwi's after another arrest. In Houston,

9
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.960
a suspect in the Lover's Lane killings is arrested, and

10
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.600
we got some great news that has drawn as the

11
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:06.439
infamous California two sucker is arrested as well. Actually he

12
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.840
was sentenced Kelly, and Kelly sent me that story.

13
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:11.760
It was a touching.

14
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.120
Literally, Well, we're going to cover all of that. We

15
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.560
got all that plus much more coming your way today. So,

16
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.760
first of all, welcome to Crime Wire Weekly.

17
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.680
I'm Jim Chapman and I am Kelly.

18
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.959
Jenny and Kelly, you were so kind as to have

19
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.799
wished everyone a happy Easter last week, just giving him

20
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.840
a little heads up, if you will, So I'm going

21
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.359
to send that sentiment today and tell everybody Happy Easter.

22
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.280
And if you're watching the video version of this podcast

23
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.920
on Patreon, you know that we have the studio decorated.

24
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.040
I am wearing my Easter best and even my Easter colors.

25
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.879
And you'll have to see what Kelly's wearing.

26
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.359
Well, listen, you have to see it.

27
00:01:58.359 --> 00:01:59.439
It's very eastery.

28
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.159
I have got my leopard leggings on and.

29
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.560
She didn't get the memo and my black.

30
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.719
Unspeakable T shirt with an LSU sweatshirt.

31
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:08.120
Yep.

32
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:10.719
And if they say dressed for the job you want,

33
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.680
not the job you have, I am dressed for being homeless.

34
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.520
Well there you go. And and so she did not

35
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.560
get the memo. And it was funny when she came

36
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.960
in today. I'm like, dude, it's the Easter episode and

37
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.919
you're not dressed for Easter. But I actually never told

38
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.240
her anything about it, so to be fair, Jim Chapman

39
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:29.960
dropped the ball.

40
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.840
Well. I have a heart of gold, though, so please

41
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:33.479
see my heart.

42
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:40.560
Yes, all right, let's get into what is has been

43
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.240
an active week of crying, to say the least, And

44
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.680
we're gonna start off right here in denim Springs, Louisiana.

45
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.599
Ricky Foster, the central figure in a documentary titled The

46
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.840
Devil Wears Dunks, was arrested Tuesday on multiple felony charges.

47
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.120
This included rape, sexual battery, in extortion. Foster, who is

48
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.080
forty six of Denham Springs, was taken into custody by

49
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.639
the Livingston Pears Sheriff's Office with the assistants from the

50
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:15.280
Denham Springs Marshall's Office. Shout out Calvin Bowden and Marshall Joemack.

51
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.120
Ricky is being held without bond at the Livingston Parish

52
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.080
Detention Center. He's charged with ten counts of third degree rape,

53
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.400
four counts of sexual battery, and ten counts of extortion. Now,

54
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.439
these charges stem from allegations by a victim who was

55
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.680
in a romantic relationship with Foster. This is from January

56
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.439
to August of twenty twenty three. The woman told detectives

57
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.120
that during that time, Foster secretly took out more than

58
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.759
seventy thousand dollars in credit card loans and cash advances

59
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.719
in her name without her knowledge or her consent. She

60
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.840
further alleged that Foster coerced her into performing sexual acts

61
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.680
on multiple occasions. Telling her he would not repaid the

62
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:06.319
fraudulent debt unless she complied. These acts allegedly occurred without

63
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.800
her consent. LPSO Sheriff Jason Ard said in a statement,

64
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.759
contact was made with the victim, who stated she was

65
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.000
in a relationship with Ricky Foster during that time. She

66
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.120
revealed on numerous occasions, without her consent, that she was

67
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.720
forced to perform sexual acts with Foster. Sheffard also added quote,

68
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.120
we also believe more victims are out there. I'm asking

69
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.480
you to come forward and work with detectives now. Foster

70
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.319
became known in the Denham Springs area as the driving

71
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.199
force behind Dads of Denim and Dads of Denham two

72
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.519
point zero, the former being a popular Denim Springs High

73
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.439
School tailgate where he and other members would encourage community

74
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:52.639
involvement by offering free posteliah. The Dads of Denham two

75
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:57.720
point zero was a large scale fundraiser type deal that

76
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.720
was organized by Ricky and primarily this dealt with car shows,

77
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.279
and he would allegedly help coordinate these fundraisers. In one instance,

78
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.279
in twenty twenty two, there was a fire that destroyed

79
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:17.000
the Live Junior High School gymnasium and they did a fundraiser,

80
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.160
and questions later surfaced as to the handling of some

81
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:26.000
two thousand dollars in donations. Now, Foster is the primary

82
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.560
subject of The Devil Wares Donk, a documentary which examines

83
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:36.040
allegations of financial manipulation, fabricated multi million dollar business deals,

84
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.839
and questionable charity practices. The series, which is currently on

85
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.720
episode three, has gone through nearly four million views on YouTube,

86
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.079
and was sparked when Foster attempted to hustle Jeremy Green,

87
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:56.720
who was a multi millionaire CEO of samples. They sell

88
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.639
rare shoe brands. These are sample of like Nike shoes

89
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.240
and things of that nature types and stuff dude types. Yeah,

90
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.879
and they sell these online and they go for fifteen

91
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.800
twenty thousand dollars a pair. And this guy is no

92
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.519
joke and very legit. Allegedly, Foster attempted to partner with

93
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.079
Green's company and he attempted to hustle Green on a

94
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.240
fifteen million dollar deal. Green took this personally launched an

95
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:30.480
investigation into Foster, which uncovered a ton of horrific things

96
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.839
that I can't even attempt to get into because it

97
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.959
would take up the whole podcast. What I can say

98
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.800
is I knew Ricky. Ricky has been in this very

99
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.680
studio I'm recording him right now, And it did not

100
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.279
take me long to know Ricky before. I knew one

101
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.920
thing for sure, and that was Ricky was a freaking

102
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:55.519
shyster and as Tupac would say, fake money. So personally,

103
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.560
I'm glad to see he is now right where he

104
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.240
belonged in jail.

105
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.480
So obviously tons of charges here, but let's let's go

106
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.439
back to the heart of things here as far as

107
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.360
I'm concerned, because again, like we've said, this is a

108
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.920
very local case. You know, I taught at Denim Springs

109
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.199
High School. I'm a huge fan of that school, and

110
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.199
they they work very hard to not only teach these kids,

111
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.720
but to love them. And so this group steps up

112
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.160
this Dad's of Denim, and their whole premise was that

113
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.720
not every kid has the support at home of a dad,

114
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.079
but they should all feel supported and loved and cared for.

115
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:35.879
And so it's a genuinely awesome community effort to cook

116
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.439
for the kids, to tailgate, to support them before their

117
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:40.800
their football games, and really, I just thought it was

118
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.800
the coolest thing, you know it, and not to.

119
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.319
Cut you off. But I do want to say this

120
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:50.319
because it's important. There were other members of that of

121
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.920
that Hellgate that are really good people. All of them

122
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.759
were no idea all this shit was going on with Ricky.

123
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.720
They knew he was full of shit most of the time,

124
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.959
but they had no idea, no that it was to

125
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.920
any sort of level like it has become. Right.

126
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.160
He just kind of seemed to weasel his way in

127
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.319
because it, I guess it made him feel good to

128
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.639
be part of this group that had good intentions. But

129
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.839
then he took those good intentions and spawned into something,

130
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.600
you know, not so good. But to have someone come

131
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.800
in and and do fundraisers and all that under the

132
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.639
premise that you're going to be helping community, and really

133
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.639
all you're doing is line to everybody's face, and then

134
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.199
the money is questionable and what happens. That's the worst

135
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.879
kind of word of criminal in my opinion. I know

136
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.960
this is all alleged right now, but there's also talk

137
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.559
about him possibly. I know that there was a report

138
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.759
written that I saw where Saint Jude was involved in

139
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.759
that he was supposed to be donating money to Saint

140
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.120
Jude that never got there. Now that's all allegedly that's

141
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.039
obviously not be There was a there.

142
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:58.679
Was a police investigation, yeah, on that. And what his

143
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:03.360
excuse for that was, he said the cost to put

144
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:08.799
on that event superseded the donations received for the event.

145
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.440
Right, So obviously you're not very good at putting on

146
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.039
events because you would hopefully have you know.

147
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.480
Well, if you believe that story, well yeah, I mean.

148
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.559
Sure, right, but yeah, so and then we're gonna add

149
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.200
on top of your Okay, so you're swindling around kids.

150
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.200
And I remember Jim and I both we would go

151
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.320
to the football games because we have children that went there.

152
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.720
And I remember us looking at each other one day

153
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.399
when he was walking up and down the sidelines. Do

154
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:31.759
you remember that? And we kind of elbow each other,

155
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.200
like who does he think he is? Because he thought

156
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.120
he was like a local celebrity or something. But everybody

157
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.559
that you speak to pretty much seems to have the

158
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.720
same vibe about this guy, that he was a shisty swindler.

159
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.759
And then you fafo would a millionaire a multi multi millionaire?

160
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.279
Yep, and uh, And he wasn't gonna let it go.

161
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:51.320
He wasn't gonna let it go.

162
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.960
He took it personal and these guys are from California,

163
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.919
and uh they're used to kind of chasing these things

164
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.519
down and exposing them. They don't give it. I don't

165
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:04.399
give a shit. They got Ricky and this guy felt

166
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.559
offended that Ricky tried to do what he did and

167
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:08.720
he went after So.

168
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.960
Go watch that. Where can they find it? Jim the

169
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.559
Double who can YouTube?

170
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.120
Just go to YouTube and type in the Devilwar's donks?

171
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.039
Are you gonna put a link on our show page

172
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:17.639
on Facebook?

173
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.840
If? Yeah? Likely? If I can, if I think about it,

174
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:23.720
But if not, it's real eazy got a YouTube and

175
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.399
just type it in. It's worth a while, very easily.

176
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.759
All right, Let's go to Houston, where a sixty four

177
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.120
year old man has been charged with capital murder in

178
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.480
the brutal nineteen ninety double homicide of a young couple

179
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.759
whose bodies were found near a wooded area off of

180
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:42.200
Enclave Parkway Parkway, a case that haunted Houston for nearly

181
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.000
thirty six years and became known as the quote Lover's

182
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.279
Lane murders. Floyd William Parrott was arrested Wednesday night by

183
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:53.080
an FBI swat team in Lincoln, Nebraska. He faces capital

184
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.159
murder charges and the deaths of twenty two year old

185
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:59.159
Cheryl Henry and twenty one year old Garland Andy Atkinson.

186
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.559
The coup was last seen leaving Bay U Mama's, which

187
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.679
was a nightclub in West Houston, on the night of

188
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.960
August twenty second, nineteen ninety. Their bodies were discovered the

189
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.080
next day in a secluded wooded area near Enclave Parkway.

190
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.600
Both of them had been shot. Henry was found partially

191
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.759
undressed and bound, while Atkinson was discovered nearby. The case

192
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:24.639
quickly became or became famous and gained notoriety because of

193
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.759
its location, which was the popular Lover's Lane spot, and

194
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.600
the lack of immediate leads. For decades, the killings remained

195
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.360
unsolved despite extensive investigation by Houston Police and the Harris

196
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.919
County District Attorney's office. A breakthrough came earlier this month

197
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.000
when advanced DNA evidence and genetic genealogy linked Parrot to

198
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.840
the crime scene. Harris County District Attorney Seawan Terr said

199
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.759
that on Friday at a news conference that Parrot is

200
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:53.000
believed to have impersonated a police officer around the time

201
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.879
of the murders and may have driven a fake patrol car.

202
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.240
Terror urged anyone with information about Parrot's activities in the

203
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.360
Houston area during the early nineteen nineties to come forward,

204
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.840
noting that authorities suspect that he could be linked to

205
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:10.879
numerous different types of crimes and possibly additional victims. All right, So,

206
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.440
family members of the victims expressed a mix of relief

207
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.080
and grief following the arrest. Today is a good day.

208
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.120
One relative told reporters, We've waited thirty six years for this.

209
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.960
Houston Chief Police Chief Troy Finner called the arrest a

210
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.759
testament to the persistence of our cold case team and

211
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.519
the power of modern forensic science. The investigation remains active

212
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.480
as authorities continue to examine whether Parrot is connected to

213
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.159
other unsolved cases in the area. So I'll tell you

214
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:42.519
this too. I met C. C. Moore, you know, the

215
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:47.200
famous genetic genealogists, and she put on an amazing presentation

216
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:49.960
one day, and one day when I went to, like

217
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.480
I said, a conference, and that genetic genealogy is going

218
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.320
to start solving some cold cases.

219
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.559
You can bet yeah. Is that what pretty much solved

220
00:12:59.559 --> 00:12:59.960
this one?

221
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.360
Yeah? And so basically what happens is they can actually

222
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:10.440
take DNA, and they can work backwards and try to

223
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.399
figure out that they can figure out like who your

224
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.840
familiar relatives are, so like they have DNA, they can

225
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.320
figure out a grandpa, a grandma, a cousin, and then

226
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.919
they can kind of work backwards through the genealogy to

227
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:23.519
figure out who well.

228
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.960
They can if that person has turned in their DNA,

229
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.080
the grandmother, grandfather, those sorts of things. I think with

230
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.039
genetic DNA, the way that they're able to trace that

231
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.000
stuff back is a grandma or a cousin might do one, two,

232
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.440
three and me, and so there's a record up there

233
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.000
the DNA somewhere. Yeah, there's a database, but there's a

234
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.600
lot of people that have never turned their DNA in.

235
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.720
They haven't been arrested or anything to where they you know,

236
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.200
some states have it where when you're arrested you have

237
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.840
to turn over your DNA or when you're convicted of something,

238
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:57.399
so obviously they would have to have somebody in that

239
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.000
family's DNA already on record. That's how Brown Coburger got court.

240
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.240
Yeah, I'm a fan of this. I think it's really

241
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.519
really cool that this can be done. And I think,

242
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.639
like I said, I think a lot of cold cases.

243
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.919
You know, we've got the advancements in how we can

244
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.919
test DNA that can get very specific. And then with

245
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.600
the genetic genealogy, I think that we are onto something

246
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.039
in terms of true crime and solving some mold cases.

247
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.960
I think that's great. Yeah, it took a long time,

248
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:27.080
but it got done.

249
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:32.120
It got done. Let's go to Massachusetts and a Massachusetts

250
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:36.679
judge has acquitted a former North Endover police officer by

251
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:40.240
the name of Kelsey Fitzsimmons of assault with the dangerous weapon.

252
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:44.279
This ended a dramatic bench trial that centered around whether

253
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.279
she pointed a gun at a fellow officer before he

254
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.720
shot her during the service of a restraining order at

255
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.840
her home. Essex Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Karp delivered the

256
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.639
not guilty verdict after three days of testimony and hours

257
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.200
of deliberation. Telling A Cordy found the account from both

258
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:07.120
sides credible, but ultimately concluded there was reasonable doubt quote.

259
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.879
The Commonwealth has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt

260
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.440
that Fitzsimmons committed the assault by means of a dangerous

261
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:17.000
weapon on Officer Newman, who was the guy that shot her.

262
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.480
My verdict is and must be not guilty. The incident

263
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:25.159
occurred June thirty, twenty twenty five, when Fitzsimmons, then twenty nine,

264
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.279
on maternity leave with her son, was at her North

265
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.320
end Over home. Officers, including fellow North Andover Police officer

266
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:36.279
Patrick Nnnan, arrived to server with a restraining order filed

267
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:40.279
by her ex fiance amid a contentious custody dispute. What

268
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:44.240
began as a welfare check ex escalated inside of a bedroom.

269
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.360
Nnnon drew his weapon and fired twice, striking Fitzsimmons in

270
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.399
the chest. She survived. Fitzsimmons testified she was in the

271
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.200
midst of a mental health crisis in postpartum struggles, and

272
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.120
had raised the gun to her own head in an

273
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.519
apparent suicide attempt, and prosecutors counter that she turned the

274
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.399
weapon towards him and attempted to fire at him first,

275
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.000
prompting his response. No body camera footage captured the critical moments,

276
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:16.200
leaving the case to hinge on conflicting eyewitness testimony. Fitzsimmons

277
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.960
waved a right to a jury trial, placing her fate

278
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.240
soling in the hands of the judge. Defense attorney Tip

279
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.000
Timothy Brandle argued the prosecution failed to meet its burden,

280
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:31.080
emphasize the absence of physical evidence and the chaotic circumstances,

281
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:34.639
and following the verdict, Fitzsimmons embraced or attorneys and family

282
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.519
in the courtroom. Judge Karp described the case as exhausting

283
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.240
and perplexing, netting the credibility of the testimony on both

284
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:46.320
sides was good, but lack definitive proof to convict. The

285
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:51.519
acquittal coms this. Questions linger about Fitzsimmons' future. Legal experts

286
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.399
have speculated she may pursue a civil law suit. I

287
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:59.080
would say that's probably stronger than a may against the

288
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.200
department and involved parties in the custody battle with her

289
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.319
ex fiance over the young son remains ongoing. She was

290
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:09.480
placed on lead following the shooting, and she's obviously no

291
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:13.200
longer with the department. She declined to comment immediately after

292
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:17.400
the ruling, but it was emotional as she left the courthouse,

293
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.799
and I want to say this and then we'll get

294
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:26.759
your comments. kJ I actually did a two part documentary

295
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:33.039
type exposed podcast on this that starts this upcoming week.

296
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.759
This case is absolutely freaking wild. When you get to

297
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.880
peeling the onions back on this one. There's a lot

298
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:41.759
of a lot of onion.

299
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.319
Yeah, to be peeled. And so I have not followed

300
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:47.079
that case, but I know Jim and I did kind

301
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:52.599
of discuss it just off hand, and something that really

302
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.480
struck me was that I think it might be hard

303
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.400
for a man to understand one thing. And I'm not

304
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.240
one of those people who thinks, you know, men are

305
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:07.799
can't understand women's emotions. But postpartum depression is an animal

306
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.279
all of its own. I suffered from it with my

307
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.480
first child. And when I say suffered, you got to

308
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.759
know that's a real, real word there, because it's a

309
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:20.640
very bizarre feeling because your mind knows that's your child

310
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:22.640
and your baby. You know it's brand I only had

311
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:24.920
it for like two weeks or three weeks. I guess

312
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:26.559
you could say that it was really a tough time

313
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.680
for me, But your brain knows that your baby and

314
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:31.160
you just had it. But it's like your emotions are

315
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:36.160
disregulated and you can't you're so profoundly sad, almost in shock,

316
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:39.359
is how I would explain it. And so it makes

317
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:41.839
your your emotions are just all over the place. Plus

318
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:43.799
you have to care for this child, you know, it's

319
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.519
completely dependent on you. And then from what I understand

320
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.920
that you told me, the police came to take her

321
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.920
brand new infant away from her. Correct.

322
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.000
Yeah, there was a there was an order, a reshining order,

323
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.119
and as part of that order, she had to turn

324
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:03.720
her baby over her to her estrange fiance for fourteen

325
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.160
days until they sorted all that out. This is signed

326
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:12.079
by judge. And so yeah, you're and she was already

327
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:13.240
in a very fragile stit.

328
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:14.920
She was in a fragile state, and I will totally

329
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.400
give credit there that that's but then you turn I mean,

330
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:20.160
think of animals in the wild you take try to

331
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.400
take their babies away from you, from them, and what

332
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.599
do you do or what do they do? They freak out.

333
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.640
So my heart in this instance is very tender towards

334
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:32.160
her in that moment, because I can't imagine someone trying

335
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.480
to just take your newborn from you and you're going

336
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.279
through a lot, you're going through a lot. Then you

337
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:39.839
say you want to kill yourself. And I believe her,

338
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.000
even though I didn't follow that case, that she really

339
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.799
was in the throes of an all out mental health crisis.

340
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.880
And it just seems like a tragedy all the way around.

341
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.799
Yeah, and look, when I'm done talking about this one,

342
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:54.599
if you know whoever wants to listen to it, you're

343
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.440
going to believe her too. Yeah. I can tell you

344
00:19:58.960 --> 00:19:59.960
there's a lot to it.

345
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:05.039
Yeah. So go to Exposed Exposed scandless files of the

346
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.039
elite right and you can listen to that on Gim's feed.

347
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:09.640
And it's going to be a good one from what

348
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:11.160
he told me. All right. Now, we're going to come

349
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:13.720
right back here to where we are, but it's going

350
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:16.599
to be in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In a powerful show

351
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:21.519
of bipartisan support, the Louisiana House of Representatives unanimously approved

352
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.440
House Bill eight six. And this one is going to

353
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:27.279
be very close to home for both Jim and I.

354
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:30.400
This is going to be known as Jody's Law, because

355
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:35.599
on Tuesday, the bill went up for vote and the

356
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:39.440
Senate approved in an effort to strengthen penalties and procedures

357
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.680
for hit and run drivers. Now, the bill was sponsored

358
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:46.559
by Representative Vanessa Lafleur. She's a Democrat from Baton Rouge.

359
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:52.000
But it's named in memory of twenty year old Jody Mann,

360
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.240
who was fatally struck by a hit and run driver

361
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.720
while walking along the side of the road in Livingston Parish.

362
00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:59.839
And this was last year, so I remember this very well,

363
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.400
know you do, because we were following this. But Jody's mother,

364
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.559
Holly Crow, has been the driving force behind the legislation.

365
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.559
Testifying before lawmakers alongside other mothers who lost daughters to

366
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.000
hit and runs, Crow has repeatedly highlighted how current laws

367
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:17.640
allow suspects to post bond quickly, potentially giving them time

368
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:22.200
to sober up, destroy evidence, or coordinate false stories. So

369
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.920
the key provisions of Jody's Law, Here's what the legislation

370
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.200
would do. It would require a full bail hearing before

371
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:32.720
a judge sets bond for anyone charged with hit and

372
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:37.720
run driving, eliminating the use of preset bail schedules. Direct

373
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.880
law enforcement agencies, or it would direct law enforcement agencies

374
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.960
to immediately use the Louisiana Law Enforcement Telecommunications System to

375
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:50.519
notify all other agencies statewide about the incident and vehicle details.

376
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:53.839
It would establish a rapid public alert system to help

377
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:57.839
identify and locate fleeing vehicles faster. Jody would stand up

378
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.200
for what was right, and I plan to do the same,

379
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:04.319
Crow told the lawmakers during committee testimony last month. The

380
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:09.079
bill enacts new provisions, and it's formally cited as Jody's Law.

381
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:12.039
Supporters say it treats hit and run crashes as the

382
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:14.839
violent crimes that they are, and gives prosecutors and law

383
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:19.000
enforcement stronger tools to hold drivers accountable. The measure now

384
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:21.599
heads to the Senate for consideration during the twenty twenty

385
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:25.559
six regular session. If passed and signed by Governor Jeff Landry,

386
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:28.400
it would take effect later this year. The family of

387
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:31.920
Jody Mann and advocates across Louisiana are urging senators to

388
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.599
act swiftly so no other family has to endure this

389
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.599
same preventable pain. Anonymous tips from the public ultimately helped

390
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:42.319
identify the suspect in Jody's case, underscoring the importance of

391
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.720
rapid information sharing that the new law would mandate. This

392
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:50.279
unanimous House vote marks a significant victory for families of

393
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:52.799
the victims, who have long argued that the Louisiana's hit

394
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:55.599
and run statutes contain dangerous gaps.

395
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.920
I mean, you know, this still has to pass the sun,

396
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.240
but I don't think it's going to have any problem

397
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:05.680
doing that. I think it would be a great law

398
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:09.319
to put in the books, and I was surprised that

399
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:15.480
that most of this wasn't already established. Actually establishing a

400
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.039
public alert system to help identify in locating fleeing vehicles.

401
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.880
I did know that that wasn't something we have done before.

402
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:25.519
That sounds to me like it would be like an

403
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:26.680
amber alert maybe.

404
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.000
Yeah, so like a BOLO would just go out to

405
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.200
like the local dispatch, you know, be on the lookout for,

406
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.160
you know, a white truck damage to the right front

407
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:35.880
side or whatever. But it sounds like you're right. It

408
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:37.119
sounds like this is going to be more like an

409
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.519
alert to everybody that says, hey, if you see a

410
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:42.240
blue truck in the area of you know, this street

411
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.759
in this area, called it, you know, call police.

412
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:47.519
I think that's a great idea. And I'm curious if

413
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:51.559
this is hit and runs just when it involves like

414
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:53.799
a person walking on the road, or if this is

415
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:55.160
hit and runs in general.

416
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:55.680
I don't know.

417
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:59.200
It doesn't really specify on this, so if anybody knows,

418
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:03.960
let me know. But the way it reads, it seems

419
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:06.440
like any hit and run, which I think is a

420
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:10.640
good thing. Heck, my kids were hitting ran and then

421
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:14.000
people literally jumped out the car and ran like like,

422
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:18.640
and it was a serious accident. So I think if

423
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:21.039
there's some sort of alert system to say be on

424
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:24.440
the lookout for, that's definitely a good thing in my book.

425
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:26.559
Yeah, and this seems like a victory too, just for

426
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.359
us locally, because I've watched on our local rants and

427
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.079
raves pages or whatever you want to call it. But

428
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:36.720
the mom has consistently updated the public when Jodie was

429
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:39.319
and I don't know her personally, but she was in

430
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:41.519
the hospital on the ventilator and on the tubes, and

431
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:44.440
you know, her mother consistently updated photos saying, this is

432
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:46.640
my daughter, look at my daughter. You know. The guy

433
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:49.960
that did this left, and you know, I believe in

434
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:52.559
this case Sidney leave and then come back allegedly and

435
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.200
see her and leave again. Wasn't that this instant?

436
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:56.519
Is it? I don't recall.

437
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.839
I think it is. And so it took a long

438
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:02.240
time to get him. And so again all these issues

439
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:06.799
that are being addressed. Jody lost her life, unfortunately, but

440
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.119
her life has value here obviously continued and this will

441
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.559
hopefully help families in the future not to suffer this

442
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:16.480
same fate. And shout out to her mama. You know,

443
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:21.359
a mama's heart doesn't quit, and I think her mama

444
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:22.799
worked hard for this, So shout out to her.

445
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:28.000
Yep, yep, all right, Let's go to Jupiter Island, Florida

446
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:32.200
and Tiger Woods back in the news. The golf legend

447
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.359
was arrested this past Friday on suspicion of driving under

448
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:40.440
the influence after a rollover crash near his home. This

449
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:45.359
marked the second d UI related arrest in nearly a decade. Woods,

450
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.880
who was fifty, was charged with misdemeanor d UI with

451
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:53.319
property damage and refusal to submit a lawful test after

452
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:56.079
his black lamb rover struck the back of a truck

453
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:59.640
and flipped onto its side on a residential road. No

454
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.319
one was injured in the crash, and it occurred around

455
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.119
three pm that day. A breathalyzer test showed Woods had

456
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.880
no alcohol in his system triple zeros, but deputies did

457
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:16.519
report that he appeared lethargic, had bloodshot eyes, was sweating profusely,

458
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:21.279
and had failed to multiple well. He had failed multiple

459
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:26.079
fielled sobriety tests on arrust. Affidavit released Tuesday revealed two

460
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:29.599
hydra codon pials were found in his pants. Pocket, Wood

461
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.079
seld investigators he was looking down at his phone changing

462
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.680
his radio station before the crash. He refused to provide

463
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.720
a urine sample for further drug testing, and he was

464
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:43.920
booked into jail and released later that evening after posting bond.

465
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.559
This is Wood's second high profile driving accident. In twenty seventeen,

466
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.279
he was also arrested on dui charges in Florida after

467
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.319
being found asleep behind the wheel of his Mercedes. He

468
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:59.559
later pleaded guilty to reckless driving. The fifteen time Major

469
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.960
champ has been open about his past struggles with pain

470
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.440
medication following multiple backed surgeries, and he has not publicly

471
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:10.839
commented on this Labis arrest, although that has changed, and

472
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:13.400
I'll fig you in on that. The arrest comes as

473
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:16.839
Woods has been eyeing a potential return to competitive golf,

474
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:22.440
including the twenty twenty six Masters. So as far as comments,

475
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:24.519
he has come out and said that he will not

476
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:28.079
be in the twenty twenty six Masters tournament. He is

477
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:31.480
going to seek some treatment, and he's actually gonna do

478
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:36.000
this treatment overseas, obviously, because it's it's hard to get

479
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:38.720
any sort of privacy here in the United States when

480
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:40.640
you're Tiger Woods and you're going through something like that.

481
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.279
Yeah, he's no different than the rest of us. If

482
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:45.880
you know I got hooked on pain pills, I'd be

483
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.400
going through the same struggles. I'm not saying it's okay.

484
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:53.039
I'm not condoning that. Obviously he hits somebody, and you

485
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:55.200
know he needs to get help. He needs to get help,

486
00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:58.920
go after it, say you're sorry, you know, and don't

487
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.240
do it again. If you continue the behavior, that's whenever

488
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:03.680
people are going to have enough of you.

489
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:06.960
Well. And there's a big difference between Tiger Woods and

490
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:09.680
a junkie. And what I mean by that is this

491
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:14.400
man's had five back surgeries and twenty knee surgeries. He's

492
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.599
fifty years old. This guy is in pain. I'm sure

493
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:23.279
he lives every day with pain. So the way he's

494
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:25.440
managing it now, I don't know. I mean, he didn't

495
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.279
take a urine test. He could have not had anything.

496
00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:30.960
The pain pills were in his pocket, not in his mouth,

497
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:34.680
so he could have not. Now you're assuming that you

498
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.920
have no evidence of that. He could have been looking

499
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:39.799
down changing his Radiosay, he.

500
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:42.920
Could have, but the refusal to submit.

501
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.839
Any good attorney's going to tell you don't submit to

502
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:50.799
a urine test, of course, even if you've never done anything.

503
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:52.359
He knows that.

504
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:57.279
Yeah, but you're Tiger Woods, and I think that exactly right.

505
00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:59.640
And I know, and so what I'm saying is if

506
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:01.400
I was Tiger Woods and I'm like, that ain't not

507
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:03.160
in my system and you're not gonna drag my name

508
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.160
through the mud, then I would be submitting for that reason. Again,

509
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:07.680
we should all be held at the same standard. But

510
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:10.079
I would want people to understand that this was an

511
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.400
accident and you're not gonna, you know, make it look

512
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:15.720
like I've done something. I'm inclined to believe the refusal.

513
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.880
I'm inclined to believe the refusal was for a reason.

514
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:22.319
And if he failed field sobriety test of all those

515
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:24.720
that those are not you know, one hundred percent science,

516
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:28.119
They're done for a reason. And so yeah, I mean,

517
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:33.519
come on, I'm just saying he did this for legal win,

518
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:35.799
a legal win, and he's gonna win on the legality

519
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:37.759
there because he doesn't have anything to prove it otherwise.

520
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.400
But just like Jodie's law here, right, if they can

521
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.839
bond out and they can sober up, and then there's

522
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:44.759
no proof or anything like that. It's kind of along

523
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.880
the same lines here that he he played the legal

524
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:50.279
He played the legal game. He played it right, all right,

525
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:52.400
because there's not gonna bething to convict him one. But

526
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:58.039
you know, this is where I'm at. My husband is disabled, Okay.

527
00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:01.839
He was in a motorcycle accident. His leg was partially amputated.

528
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:04.920
He has a broken he's broken his back, he was

529
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:07.720
had twenty seven surgeries, and he was in three comas

530
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:10.799
because of this accident. And when he got out of

531
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:14.519
when he got out of the hospital, he's in the

532
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:16.839
hospital for three and a half years. You know, pain

533
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:20.079
medicine is obviously a part of the regimen when you're

534
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:22.759
trying to rebuild your body. But he makes a conscious

535
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.799
decision to not continue pay medication because he doesn't want

536
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:29.599
these kinds of problems and he hurts every day of

537
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:32.839
his life. If he can do it, so can Tiger Woods.

538
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:34.839
And I think that's where my.

539
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:38.680
View point out. I don't compare anybody to anybody. I

540
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.599
think that, you know, we don't know what Tiger Woods

541
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.599
pain is like. We don't know it's tolerance to pain.

542
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.880
Everybody's tolerance to pain is different. I'm not defending if

543
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:52.039
he was out there high as a kite. But there's

544
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.240
a lot to this. He just played a turrent. He

545
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:57.319
just played a round of golf right before this. I

546
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:00.200
seriously doubt he was high as a kite playing around

547
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:01.519
to golf with six other guys.

548
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:05.079
I wish man, you were really an.

549
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.240
One of the Let me finish. One of the things

550
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.880
with this is, for example, they used well, he was

551
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.720
showing signs because he was sweating. He just played eighteen

552
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:20.880
rounds of golf. Walking, Okay, I sweat perfusely doesn't mean.

553
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:24.400
And secondly, if you prescribe pain medication and it says

554
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:27.680
take one at seven am, he may have just been like, well,

555
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:31.640
if I do a pissed ass, I'm gonna piss hot

556
00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:34.720
because I took that one pain pial doesn't mean he

557
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:37.559
can't necessarily drive a car, you know what I mean?

558
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.000
People go to work every day and they they they're

559
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:44.440
prescribed hydra codone, and it's if you're really in pain,

560
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:46.759
it takes the edge off of that pain. And look,

561
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:49.480
I don't even take medications. I don't know why I'm

562
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:54.920
defending him here, but I'm just saying the judgment without

563
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.839
knowing the circumstances is kind of an issue to me.

564
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.319
Yeah, I don't think that he could be cold victed

565
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.960
behind a reasonable doubt. Here, there'd be a reasonable doubt,

566
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:05.920
so I'll get it. I totally get it. Hey everyone,
