0:07
Speaker 2: Left for dead, a beautiful young co ed Madison Brooks
0:15
Speaker 2: left for dead after a so called sex encounter with
0:23
Speaker 2: multiple guys in a car. Did she consent to that?
0:30
Speaker 2: That's not what the prosecution says. Then the moment she's
0:36
Speaker 2: put out of the car, she gets run down dead
0:42
Speaker 2: in the street. In the last days, the judge presiding
0:48
Speaker 2: over the trial facing heat after documents revealed her son.
0:54
Speaker 2: The judge's son is a sex predator, and according to reports,
1:01
Speaker 2: one of the suspects says, quote, she's on our side.
1:06
Speaker 2: Is this even real?
1:08
Speaker 3: The judge presiding over the high profile case East Baton Rouge,
1:12
Speaker 3: Judge Gail Ray, has a son of her own who
1:14
Speaker 3: is a convicted sexual predator. Court record show forty six
1:18
Speaker 3: year old Nelson Taylor was convicted in nineteen ninety seven
1:22
Speaker 3: on several counts of forcible rape after admitting to assaulting
1:25
Speaker 3: multiple high school girls in the mid nineteen nineties. Taylor's
1:29
Speaker 3: recent motion to overturn those convictions forced all judges in
1:33
Speaker 3: the nineteenth Judicial District Court to accuse themselves from his
1:37
Speaker 3: case in December twenty twenty five. Now, questions of impartiality
1:41
Speaker 3: are engulfing the case against twenty one year old Desmond Carter,
1:45
Speaker 3: the first of three suspects set to stand trial on
1:47
Speaker 3: August seventeenth. Carter and two others allegedly gang raped nineteen
1:52
Speaker 3: year old Brooks after a night out in twenty twenty three,
1:55
Speaker 3: shortly before she was struck and killed by a car.
1:58
Speaker 3: District Attorney Hiller Moore filed emotion seeking Ray's recusal from
2:02
Speaker 3: the trial of co defendant case and Carver, who faces
2:05
Speaker 3: charges of first degree rape, third degree rape, and video voyeurism.
2:10
Speaker 3: Carver waived his right to a jury trial, making Ray
2:13
Speaker 3: the sole decider of his case. Moore appointed to Ray's
2:17
Speaker 3: exposure to excluded evidence and text messages between Carver and
2:21
Speaker 3: his father where Carver explicitly claimed they were friends with
2:24
Speaker 3: Ray and that she knows to help us. Nineteenth Judicial
2:28
Speaker 3: District Judge Bradley Myers noted these statements showed Carver believe
2:32
Speaker 3: the judge was.
2:33
Speaker 4: On his side.
2:34
Speaker 3: Although the Louisiana Supreme Court allowed Ray to remain on
2:37
Speaker 3: Carver's case, she recently ruled in the state's favor by
2:41
Speaker 3: allowing court spectators to wear pink in support of Brooks
2:44
Speaker 3: while banning t shirts with the victim's picture. Brooke's mother,
2:48
Speaker 3: Ashley bau Start, spoke out to Fox News Digital regarding
2:51
Speaker 3: the upcoming court proceedings.
2:54
Speaker 4: It's not about anyone except for Madison.
2:58
Speaker 3: Bou Start vowed to k keep fighting for her daughter.
3:01
Speaker 5: I mean nothing will bring Madison back, but we remain
3:05
Speaker 5: committed to honoring her life and ensuring that her voice
3:08
Speaker 5: is never forgotten.
3:09
Speaker 2: The district attorney in this jurisdiction, hill Or Moore, demanded
3:15
Speaker 2: the judge, Gil Ray, be recused after tech shows a
3:20
Speaker 2: suspect believes she knows to help us. What does that mean.
3:32
Speaker 2: Madison Brooks, according to prosecutors, was raped before her death,
3:38
Speaker 2: then put out of the car where she was immediately
3:41
Speaker 2: run over dead. The judge overseeing the case against the
3:46
Speaker 2: men accused of attacking LSU student Maddie Madison Brooks before
3:51
Speaker 2: her death, has a son of her own who is
3:55
Speaker 2: a convicted sex predator according to records. Oh my stars,
4:03
Speaker 2: of course, all these young men say they are innocent.
4:06
Speaker 2: That's for jury. This is what we know of the case.
4:10
Speaker 2: Haunting video emerges of an LSU beauty, Maddie Brooks, barely
4:17
Speaker 2: able to speak or stand after three men sex assault
4:21
Speaker 2: her in a car's back seat, while the driver may
4:25
Speaker 2: he rot in. Hell videos the whole attack, and at
4:29
Speaker 2: least one perp.
4:31
Speaker 6: Can be heard laughing.
4:33
Speaker 2: Then they leave Maddie on an empty street, where she's
4:36
Speaker 2: immediately mowed down by another driver.
4:41
Speaker 6: Bombshell.
4:41
Speaker 2: Tonight, we learn the female judge who's presiding over this
4:45
Speaker 2: case has a son who's a convicted serial rapist. And
4:50
Speaker 2: this is the same judge who lets one rapist after
4:54
Speaker 2: the next walk free. And I am telling you tonight,
4:58
Speaker 2: this is not justice good evening.
5:02
Speaker 6: I mean, see Grace, this is crime stories. Thank you
5:04
Speaker 6: for being with us.
5:06
Speaker 7: Now, I guess for ryand one fifty am. By this point,
5:10
Speaker 7: Maddie is drunk. She's been seen falling inside the bar,
5:15
Speaker 7: falling outside the bar, but she and these four men
5:18
Speaker 7: decide to leave the bar. They walk to a vehicle
5:21
Speaker 7: that's being driven by Cason Carver. They leave Reggie's they
5:25
Speaker 7: drive a short distance where they pull over.
5:28
Speaker 8: Cason Carver eighteen takes several videos from the driver's seat,
5:32
Speaker 8: narrating what's happening while Madison Brooks is in the back
5:35
Speaker 8: seat of his car. In one selfie video, Carver yells,
5:39
Speaker 8: these guys are crazy, they've been a raper. In another
5:43
Speaker 8: Brooks can be heard shouting get off me over loud music.
5:47
Speaker 8: Several videos taken outside the car show keV in Washington
5:51
Speaker 8: pushing Brooks down against the seat. Desmond Carver is seen
5:54
Speaker 8: with his pants down, appearing to penetrate Brooks while the
5:57
Speaker 8: other men cheer.
5:59
Speaker 2: Guys seeing video first given to wb RZ by the defense,
6:06
Speaker 2: the video given to WAFB by the defense, and somehow
6:11
Speaker 2: they think.
6:13
Speaker 1: That's going to help them.
6:17
Speaker 2: No way, Guys with me an all star panel to
6:20
Speaker 2: makes sense of what we know right now. But the
6:24
Speaker 2: bombshell that the judge sitting on this case, presiding on
6:31
Speaker 2: this case has a son, which is hard for me
6:35
Speaker 2: to believe this who she actually represented in a serial
6:42
Speaker 2: rape case and he got decades behind bars. She did
6:48
Speaker 2: everything she could to save him, but it didn't work,
6:54
Speaker 2: and now she's letting one rapist.
6:56
Speaker 6: After the next off.
6:58
Speaker 2: I want to go back to what happened the night
7:04
Speaker 2: this beautiful young girl, her whole life in front of her.
7:10
Speaker 2: What happened that night. Joining me is her mother, who
7:14
Speaker 2: I now consider to be a friend, Ashley Boastt.
7:17
Speaker 6: But listen to this.
7:18
Speaker 9: It's how she was essentially dumped on the side of
7:21
Speaker 9: the road after what they're claiming was a consensual.
7:24
Speaker 2: Ride in the middle of the night, in the rain,
7:27
Speaker 2: heavy traffic flying by. They put her out of the
7:31
Speaker 2: car and bam, she gets run over and dies after
7:35
Speaker 2: she gets raped.
7:36
Speaker 1: That's what the state says.
7:37
Speaker 9: That's not how someone who was part of a consensual
7:41
Speaker 9: sexual escapade is treated. That's how a victim is revictimized
7:46
Speaker 9: and thrown out like garbage.
7:48
Speaker 3: After a long night of drinking, Mannie Brooks nineteen leaves
7:51
Speaker 3: Reggie's Bar with four young men who offer to give
7:54
Speaker 3: her a ride home. A few blocks from the bar,
7:56
Speaker 3: the driver pulls over and starts videoing as the two
7:59
Speaker 3: men in the backseat have sex with an extremely intoxicated Brooks. Afterwards,
8:04
Speaker 3: Brooks is unable to tell the men her address, and,
8:06
Speaker 3: according to them, insists on getting out of the car.
8:09
Speaker 3: Just before three am, a lift driver strikes something in
8:12
Speaker 3: the road. It's Mattie Brooks who dies of her injuries
8:15
Speaker 3: at a hospital.
8:16
Speaker 2: I don't believe one bit of this video given to
8:19
Speaker 2: Wborz by the defense and to WAFB by the defense,
8:23
Speaker 2: and somehow they believe that's going to help them before
8:27
Speaker 2: I get on this judge who has let one rapist
8:31
Speaker 2: after the next walk free.
8:35
Speaker 6: I want to go to Ashley Boaster.
8:39
Speaker 2: Ashley, I do not know how you put one foot
8:44
Speaker 2: in front of the other. I know you are dedicated
8:47
Speaker 2: to raising your other children, but if you would, I'd
8:52
Speaker 2: like to take you back to that night that you
8:55
Speaker 2: learned your girl, Maddie was in the hospital.
8:58
Speaker 6: What happened.
9:00
Speaker 4: It was a complete nightmare.
9:02
Speaker 5: I got a call from the hospital stating that she
9:05
Speaker 5: was in credible condition. They didn't tell me a lot
9:09
Speaker 5: of information. I had my parents drive me there because
9:13
Speaker 5: I knew that I wouldn't be able to safely drive
9:15
Speaker 5: myself to the hospital. And immediately when I saw her,
9:21
Speaker 5: I knew that something terrible had happened and that she
9:27
Speaker 5: was with our Lord in heaven. So it's been a
9:30
Speaker 5: complete nightmare. The worst possible thing that can happen to
9:36
Speaker 5: anyone happen to my daughter. And not only was she
9:39
Speaker 5: my daughter, but she was my best friend. We did
9:43
Speaker 5: everything together. The best memories I have are spent being
9:47
Speaker 5: her mother, and that's what I have to hold onto
9:50
Speaker 5: every day.
9:51
Speaker 4: That's what gets me out of bed.
9:53
Speaker 5: I'm trying to live as well as I can until
9:57
Speaker 5: I'm reunited with her in heaven.
10:00
Speaker 6: Ashly, everything that you just said.
10:04
Speaker 2: Echoes what I feel in my heart, and I think
10:07
Speaker 2: a lot of mothers feel the same way. When I
10:10
Speaker 2: am upset or distressed or even can't sleep, It's like
10:14
Speaker 2: a movie plays in my head of all these wonderful
10:17
Speaker 2: times I've had with John, David and Lucy, my children,
10:22
Speaker 2: and the best years of my life have been the
10:27
Speaker 2: years that I've had with them. You said that that
10:32
Speaker 2: night you went to the hospital, and I know that
10:36
Speaker 2: Maddie was still alive when you got there, because you've
10:40
Speaker 2: told me that in the past, But you believe, as
10:44
Speaker 2: you say, she had gone on to our Lord.
10:47
Speaker 6: Why do you say.
10:48
Speaker 5: That, Well, they told me immediately that she was brain dead,
10:52
Speaker 5: so they were keeping her alive. They were keeping her
10:56
Speaker 5: heart beating and pumping her with all different types of
11:00
Speaker 5: medication just to save her organs so that she could
11:04
Speaker 5: be a donor. And we were also waiting for her
11:07
Speaker 5: dad to travel from Florida to.
11:10
Speaker 4: Be at the hospital.
11:11
Speaker 5: So Mattie was there and she was breathing, but she
11:15
Speaker 5: was not there.
11:17
Speaker 2: Do you think at any point she came to and
11:21
Speaker 2: knew you were there?
11:23
Speaker 5: I felt her there, and I knew that something terrible
11:28
Speaker 5: had happened, and it was going to be my mission
11:31
Speaker 5: to fight for her and to honor her and her
11:36
Speaker 5: legacy by helping others, which is what we are trying
11:39
Speaker 5: to do through her foundation.
11:41
Speaker 2: With me is Mattie's mother, Ashley boastered. Actually, when you
11:46
Speaker 2: got to the hospital and you were rushed to her room,
11:54
Speaker 2: did she even look like herself?
11:57
Speaker 5: No? No, she was extremely swollen. There was tons of
12:04
Speaker 5: blood leaking out of her body.
12:06
Speaker 4: She did not. She was a very tiny, petite little girl.
12:11
Speaker 5: She was five to one, maybe one hundred pounds, and
12:17
Speaker 5: I could tell that it was her, but it definitely
12:20
Speaker 5: she did not look the same.
12:22
Speaker 6: What did she look like?
12:23
Speaker 5: I could hold her hands, I could hold her hands,
12:26
Speaker 5: but I didn't want to look at anything else. I
12:29
Speaker 5: didn't want that image to be in my head. I
12:33
Speaker 5: wanted to remember her the way that she was.
12:36
Speaker 2: You know, though, Ashley, I never saw my fiance's body
12:41
Speaker 2: after he was murdered. At the time, I thought that's
12:45
Speaker 2: what I wanted, and sometimes I wish that I had,
12:50
Speaker 2: because for the longest time I couldn't accept that he
12:53
Speaker 2: had been killed. So I don't know I'm just a
12:56
Speaker 2: trial lawyer. I don't know what's right or wrong.
13:01
Speaker 6: Tell me when you learned what had happened.
13:05
Speaker 5: I suspected everything that had happened. I suspected just based
13:09
Speaker 5: on the circumstance, the time of day, the fact that
13:12
Speaker 5: she was alone without her cell phone, that something terrible
13:15
Speaker 5: had happened. And I guess About a week or so
13:19
Speaker 5: after the accident, the detectives brought us in and told
13:26
Speaker 5: us more of what they had learned through their investigation.
13:33
Speaker 5: I had to leave the room. Honestly, I fell to
13:36
Speaker 5: my knees. What do you mean, I just fell to
13:38
Speaker 5: my knees.
13:39
Speaker 10: It was.
13:42
Speaker 4: A nightmare. I mean an absolute nightmare.
13:45
Speaker 2: Which part of what happened to Maddie, after all you
13:50
Speaker 2: had been through, after you had married your girl, which
13:54
Speaker 2: part of this scenario made you fall.
13:56
Speaker 5: To your knees the last few seconds of her life
14:00
Speaker 5: and what transpired. But I do hold on to the
14:06
Speaker 5: fact that the people that were in that vehicle are
14:10
Speaker 5: not the last people that were with her. I know
14:14
Speaker 5: that God sent those two guardian angels to be with her,
14:18
Speaker 5: to protect her, to pray over her, and those are
14:22
Speaker 5: the last two people that were with her, And that
14:25
Speaker 5: does give me some peace.
14:27
Speaker 6: Ashley.
14:28
Speaker 2: I feel that I know you because we've talked so much,
14:36
Speaker 2: and I know your disposition, and I know how much
14:40
Speaker 2: this case means to you. So I doubt knowing you,
14:46
Speaker 2: that you're going to answer this question. But Ashley Bost,
14:51
Speaker 2: what do you think about a lady judge that represented
14:59
Speaker 2: her son who is a serial rapist And I've got
15:03
Speaker 2: State v.
15:04
Speaker 6: Tailor in my hand.
15:06
Speaker 2: I've poured over every word of what her son did
15:11
Speaker 2: and it's not in question because he pled guilty, and
15:15
Speaker 2: before pleading guilty, I have read the transcript. The prosecutor
15:19
Speaker 2: gave a rendition of what he did and he agreed
15:24
Speaker 2: that's what he did, and his mother, who was now
15:27
Speaker 2: a judge, was representing him on that guilty plate. A
15:32
Speaker 2: serial rapist who attacks multiple teen girls in the night,
15:40
Speaker 2: wearing a mask in one case, wearing a monkey mask,
15:47
Speaker 2: who sneaks into.
15:48
Speaker 6: The girl's room, holds the sheet.
15:51
Speaker 2: Against their mouth, either brandishes a knife or a gun,
15:55
Speaker 2: and repeatedly rapes them, threatening he will kill them if
16:01
Speaker 2: they scream. After this, after representing her son trying to
16:08
Speaker 2: get him a good sentence on serial rape, she is
16:11
Speaker 2: now letting one rapist go free after the next that
16:18
Speaker 2: is a fact in writing. I've read the corporroceeedings myself.
16:24
Speaker 2: How do you feel about this woman presiding over the
16:29
Speaker 2: men that the state says raped your daughter.
16:33
Speaker 5: I can't comment on the judge.
16:40
Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
16:47
Speaker 2: Maddie Brooks, a teen girl LSU student, was allegedly assaulted
16:54
Speaker 2: by more than one man after a night out, then
16:58
Speaker 2: struck and killed by a car. Court records reviewed by
17:04
Speaker 2: Fox News Digital shows the judge's son, forty six year
17:08
Speaker 2: old Nelson Taylor, was convicted on multiple counts of forcible rape.
17:15
Speaker 2: He's trying to get those convictions overturned and it is
17:19
Speaker 2: creating a debacle between the DA's office and the court
17:25
Speaker 2: as his mother is a sitting judge. What in the
17:31
Speaker 2: world she can't sit on this case?
17:34
Speaker 6: What in the world?
17:36
Speaker 1: These are the facts.
17:38
Speaker 2: Karen Chala is joining me out of Bton Rouge, Emmy
17:42
Speaker 2: and Murow Award winning investigative reporter and star of Unfiltered
17:47
Speaker 2: with Karen dot Com.
17:49
Speaker 6: Karen, thank you for.
17:49
Speaker 4: Being with us, Thanks for having me.
17:51
Speaker 2: I know that you are investigating a much wider concern
17:57
Speaker 2: about judges letting rapists walk from okay, you just give me,
18:02
Speaker 2: and I nutshell what this judge has done.
18:06
Speaker 11: So I think the most glaring part here is going
18:10
Speaker 11: to be that there was a guy who was convicted
18:14
Speaker 11: in nineteen seventy two for a deed for a rape
18:18
Speaker 11: and fifty years he was given actually she vacated the sentence,
18:23
Speaker 11: but he was given life for rape. So he goes
18:26
Speaker 11: before a judge and asks for a reduced sentence because
18:29
Speaker 11: he wants parole instead. She ended up pretty much saying, hey,
18:33
Speaker 11: you're free to go. You can't do that. The district
18:36
Speaker 11: attorney here is absolutely livid that he's never heard of
18:39
Speaker 11: such a thing and that the suspect did not go
18:42
Speaker 11: before her asking to get rid of his sentence completely.
18:47
Speaker 6: And there's a process for that. You have to go
18:49
Speaker 6: before the parole board. You need to go.
18:51
Speaker 11: The governor can pardon somebody. A judge cannot sit here
18:55
Speaker 11: and go simply say you're done.
18:57
Speaker 4: He went before the judge to ask for a reduced.
19:01
Speaker 11: Sentence and that's it.
19:02
Speaker 2: So hey goes before the judge on something completely different
19:05
Speaker 2: and the judge cuts and free.
19:07
Speaker 6: Let's a rapist walk free. And nobody even asked her to.
19:11
Speaker 2: Guys, this is a tip of the iceberg and I
19:14
Speaker 2: want this judge off this case. She's not fit to
19:18
Speaker 2: preside with this rape case or any other case.
19:21
Speaker 3: The videos that Case and Carver took the night of
19:23
Speaker 3: Maddy Brooks alleged assault have resulted in more charges.
19:26
Speaker 6: For the team.
19:27
Speaker 3: A grand jury indicted Carver for video voyeurism in addition
19:31
Speaker 3: to the charge of principle to first and third degree rape.
19:34
Speaker 3: In one of the videos, Carver left and said they've
19:37
Speaker 3: fin a raper before Brooks was assaulted.
19:39
Speaker 7: These four men have been charged in this case, two
19:43
Speaker 7: of them with third degree rape.
19:45
Speaker 9: The other two the.
19:46
Speaker 7: Two who were in the front seat of the vehicle.
19:48
Speaker 7: They have been charged with principles to third degree rape,
19:52
Speaker 7: which means that they were present for the alleged crime,
19:56
Speaker 7: but they did nothing to stop it. The question is
19:59
Speaker 7: was Madison raped before she died and did any of
20:04
Speaker 7: these events led up to her death cause it.
20:08
Speaker 3: Many are concerned that District Judge Gail Horn Ray will
20:11
Speaker 3: not remain neutral while presiding over the trial of Madison
20:14
Speaker 3: Brooks four alled rapists. Last year, Judge Ray reduced an
20:18
Speaker 3: accused rapist bail without allowing prosecutors to argue against the decision.
20:22
Speaker 3: Just last month, Ray moved to overturn a nineteen seventy
20:25
Speaker 3: two rape conviction when asked to consider allowing the convict parole.
20:29
Speaker 3: Her son, Nelson Taylor Junior, is also a convicted serial rapist.
20:33
Speaker 2: Okay, why is a judge so soft on rape cases?
20:38
Speaker 6: I think I know why? Listen.
20:40
Speaker 8: Nilson Taylor Junior, the seventeen year old son of now
20:43
Speaker 8: judge Gail Horn Rape, is charged with one count of
20:47
Speaker 8: forcible rape, two counts of aggravated rape, and five counts
20:50
Speaker 8: of aggravated burglary. Taylor breaks into six homes over six
20:53
Speaker 8: months with the intent to rape teen girls sleeping inside.
20:57
Speaker 8: Victims describe a man in a mask who threatens them
20:59
Speaker 8: with a night and uses tape to cover their eyes
21:01
Speaker 8: and mouth. Taylor is connected to the six crimes through
21:04
Speaker 8: DNA and fingerprints. Defective say seven of Taylor's nine victims
21:08
Speaker 8: are students at Is High School.
21:10
Speaker 2: Hold on just a moment, Let me go out to
21:12
Speaker 2: Jarrett Fiorentino, high profile lawyer, former homicide and felony prosecutor,
21:19
Speaker 2: host of True Crime Boss podcast at jar Jarrett Farentino
21:24
Speaker 2: dot com. Jarrett, let me just read something for you now,
21:27
Speaker 2: I'm reading from the Court of Appeals of Louisiana, Okay,
21:32
Speaker 2: and I want to circle back to you because I
21:34
Speaker 2: believe the current case should be a felony murder case.
21:39
Speaker 2: A death occurred during the commission of a felony. That
21:44
Speaker 2: felony being rape. Maddie is dead. Two plus two equals four.
21:50
Speaker 2: That's a felony murder. I don't know what the hey
21:52
Speaker 2: this prosecutor is thinking, but that said, I want you
21:56
Speaker 2: to listen to what I read over at these weeks
22:00
Speaker 2: are preparing six rapes. The judge's son had six rapes.
22:05
Speaker 2: He's convicted of six rapes. Regarding counts one and two,
22:10
Speaker 2: a fifteen year old girl awaken in her bedroom by
22:13
Speaker 2: the presence of an unknown assailant wearing a mask.
22:16
Speaker 6: Wearing a mask.
22:18
Speaker 2: Regarding count three, a seventeen year old girl was awakened
22:21
Speaker 2: in her bedroom by the presence of an unknown assailant
22:24
Speaker 2: wearing a monkey mask. Can you imagine a little teen girl?
22:31
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he had to change masks Jared Farantina because
22:34
Speaker 2: he stupidly left the other mask on the crime scene,
22:37
Speaker 2: so he had to go get a mask.
22:39
Speaker 6: What did he pick? A monkey mask?
22:41
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen those movies where the assailants are
22:44
Speaker 2: wearing like pig masks or monkey masks or some kind
22:48
Speaker 2: of an animal mask. They're terrifying to a victim. And
22:54
Speaker 2: a young girl wakes up with seemingly a monster on
22:58
Speaker 2: top of her.
22:59
Speaker 6: The assailants rattles the girl.
23:00
Speaker 1: She screams.
23:01
Speaker 2: He told her to shut up, push the sheet into
23:04
Speaker 2: her mouth to keep her quiet. It goes on and
23:08
Speaker 2: on and on. One has a knife, one has a gun,
23:13
Speaker 2: mailing tape. This is her son that she fought valiantly
23:19
Speaker 2: to be treated as a jeevenile to get five years
23:22
Speaker 2: probation in giv Jen, and now she is sitting on
23:26
Speaker 2: rape cases, letting one after the next walk free.
23:28
Speaker 12: Farantino, Nancy, it's very concerning. There's a pattern with her son,
23:34
Speaker 12: and there's a pattern with her. It's the air of impropriety,
23:38
Speaker 12: it's the smell of a conflict, it's the very crime
23:43
Speaker 12: before her. She defended her son, who should be facing
23:47
Speaker 12: and serving a life sentence. She let a life inmate
23:51
Speaker 12: go free, and it wasn't even as prayer for relief,
23:54
Speaker 12: asking for a break. So this judge needs to step
23:59
Speaker 12: aside for all the young victims that her son had
24:02
Speaker 12: and for Maddie and her case for Madison in her case,
24:06
Speaker 12: the air of conflict of interest here is too strong.
24:09
Speaker 12: I am sure she has many cases on her docket
24:12
Speaker 12: that can keep her plenty busy. Go to a judge
24:15
Speaker 12: whose son was not a serial rapist that she defended
24:18
Speaker 12: and got a break. It's that simple, And I'm sure
24:20
Speaker 12: there's plenty of other capable judges.
24:22
Speaker 6: And it's not just the sun Farantino.
24:23
Speaker 2: As you're pointing out, there are multiple other rapists that
24:27
Speaker 2: I know of. How many are there that I don't
24:30
Speaker 2: know about. I'm in a completely different jurisdiction, thousands of
24:33
Speaker 2: miles away, and even I know this, what else is
24:36
Speaker 2: there that has not been uncovered yet? In addition to
24:40
Speaker 2: Maddie's mom with us, who is refusing to comment on
24:44
Speaker 2: the judge joining us Doctor Jeff Klishewski, forensic psychologist, author
24:49
Speaker 2: of Dark Sides, Doctor Kalashevski, what is it about?
24:54
Speaker 6: Not just a mask.
24:56
Speaker 2: Where you know, like Zorro has just his eyes covered up,
25:00
Speaker 2: but I mean a full long pig mask or a
25:03
Speaker 2: monkey mask or animal mask. Why does that strike so
25:07
Speaker 2: much fear in a victim's heart?
25:10
Speaker 13: Well, it definitely strikes fhere because it's obviously unusual, it's shocking.
25:14
Speaker 13: But I think what's more important to point out is
25:16
Speaker 13: when someone utilizes a mask, particularly in the middle of
25:20
Speaker 13: a sexual assault, their payoff for the behavior that they're
25:24
Speaker 13: engaging in is beyond just a sexual act. The fear
25:28
Speaker 13: and intimidation, seeing the fear in the victim's face, these
25:32
Speaker 13: are all things that sort of satisfy that appetite for
25:36
Speaker 13: the violent, active rape that you talked about earlier.
25:39
Speaker 3: Nelson Taylor, Junior's mother, acting as his defense attorney, accepts
25:43
Speaker 3: a plea bargain on his behalf, reducing the aggravated rate
25:46
Speaker 3: charges to forcible rape, therefore taking a life sentence off
25:49
Speaker 3: the table. Taylor is sentenced to fifty years in prison,
25:52
Speaker 3: of which he must serve twenty five years before he
25:54
Speaker 3: may be eligible for parole. Gail Ray later argues that
25:58
Speaker 3: Taylor should not have been allowed to enter into a
26:00
Speaker 3: plea agreement as a miner. The court points out that
26:03
Speaker 3: Taylor's capacity to enter a plea bargain was a natural
26:05
Speaker 3: ramification of Taylor being tried as an adult and uphold
26:09
Speaker 3: his conviction.
26:10
Speaker 14: Bottom line, she could not walk, she could not speak, clearly,
26:15
Speaker 14: she had to be helped to the car. She was
26:17
Speaker 14: that intoxicated she could not consent.
26:20
Speaker 1: Period number two. She's going to have injury to.
26:23
Speaker 14: The you know, vaginal area, possibly the anal area. There
26:26
Speaker 14: could be tearing, there could be abrasions, there could be lacerations.
26:29
Speaker 14: She could have bruising from fingertips where she was being
26:33
Speaker 14: hailed in position. The pathologist notated that she had injury
26:37
Speaker 14: consistent with sexual assault.
26:39
Speaker 6: This young girl stunning, so full of life.
26:44
Speaker 2: I've seen videos of Mattie and she is bobbling with
26:49
Speaker 2: the joy of life, just so smart, the whole world
26:56
Speaker 2: in front of her.
26:58
Speaker 6: But after a whole.
27:00
Speaker 2: Thick rape, not one, not two, but according to prosecutors
27:05
Speaker 2: three that the car driver was videoing, she was let
27:12
Speaker 2: out of the car and immediately mowed down. Luckily, two
27:19
Speaker 2: good Samaritans held her hand and stayed with her as
27:23
Speaker 2: she went on to heaven.
27:27
Speaker 6: Joining me is Mattie's mother, Ashley Boaster.
27:32
Speaker 2: Ashley, when you agree to join us today, I know
27:39
Speaker 2: that you knew you would hear facts of her death
27:44
Speaker 2: and her treatment again, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry for
27:49
Speaker 2: what you're going through. I'm sorry to bring it all
27:51
Speaker 2: back up, but there are so many rape and homicide victims'
27:58
Speaker 2: families out there that you can inspire.
28:03
Speaker 6: How do you.
28:05
Speaker 2: Can't going forward when you are hearing these facts?
28:08
Speaker 6: I can't.
28:10
Speaker 4: It's very challenging. Nancy.
28:13
Speaker 5: I focus on where she is right now, and that's
28:17
Speaker 5: where we all want to be right Our goal is.
28:22
Speaker 4: To one day make it to heaven, and.
28:26
Speaker 5: That is what I try to focus on, not the horrific,
28:30
Speaker 5: terrible things that happened that evening, because if I do,
28:36
Speaker 5: it will make me sick and I will crawl up
28:38
Speaker 5: in a bed and not want to leave my bedroom.
28:42
Speaker 5: But I know that's not what Maddie would want. So
28:45
Speaker 5: I'm trying to live as well as I can. But
28:48
Speaker 5: I have my moments and sometimes I do crawl up
28:51
Speaker 5: in a bed. Mother's Day was hard. She made me
28:54
Speaker 5: a mother. We went to church, we went to lunch,
28:57
Speaker 5: and I needed to cry and spend time alone, and
29:02
Speaker 5: that's what I did.
29:05
Speaker 4: So I take it day by day.
29:06
Speaker 2: How do you believe this has affect in you raising
29:10
Speaker 2: your other children?
29:11
Speaker 5: I cherish every single moment. I go to every field trip,
29:19
Speaker 5: if all of their sports activities.
29:22
Speaker 4: I live at the baseball field, even when.
29:26
Speaker 5: It's challenging, which you know, Nancy, being a mother is
29:29
Speaker 5: the greatest gift, but it's the hardest job that I've
29:33
Speaker 5: ever had too. But I embrace even the hard times
29:37
Speaker 5: where we're up till ten o'clock doing a science project,
29:42
Speaker 5: because I don't have that anymore.
29:44
Speaker 4: With Maddie.
29:45
Speaker 5: All I have is the memories. But I do keep
29:47
Speaker 5: her alive. She is all over my home. We celebrate
29:52
Speaker 5: her birthday with a trip, We do things that she
29:56
Speaker 5: would like, and we honor her every day, carry her
30:00
Speaker 5: with us.
30:01
Speaker 2: Ashley, you're bringing back a happy memory from just last night.
30:05
Speaker 2: My son, John David had an assignment where he was
30:08
Speaker 2: supposed to write a letter from a great great great
30:12
Speaker 2: great whoever he could find relative, and he picked his
30:16
Speaker 2: great great grandmother, Louisa Fulwood, who had no education. She
30:25
Speaker 2: never got to go to school, and her husband would
30:28
Speaker 2: leave every day to take.
30:29
Speaker 6: The bus to the courthouse to watch trials.
30:32
Speaker 2: So she ran the farm okay, and she with no
30:37
Speaker 2: not even first grade, saved up enough money and she
30:40
Speaker 2: would bury the money on the farm in mason jars,
30:44
Speaker 2: and she.
30:45
Speaker 6: Paid for the whole farm.
30:47
Speaker 2: And he had to make the mason jar look authentic,
30:51
Speaker 2: so it was covered in dirt.
30:52
Speaker 6: It was just we were up to midnight and you
30:55
Speaker 6: just saying that.
30:55
Speaker 2: I bet you think back on those memories all the
30:58
Speaker 2: time and smile. But I want to apologize for putting
31:03
Speaker 2: you through this, and you know you'll go through it
31:06
Speaker 2: again at trial. I've had moms and I would say, ma'am,
31:11
Speaker 2: you know you don't have to sit through this, and
31:14
Speaker 2: without fail, they would say no, I'm staying right here
31:17
Speaker 2: on the front row. I'm not leaving right And here
31:23
Speaker 2: is Ashley Bostert again on the front row, still refusing
31:28
Speaker 2: to say a bad word about the judge. You're stronger
31:32
Speaker 2: than I am, Ashley.
31:34
Speaker 6: Much stronger than me.
31:36
Speaker 2: Guys, What did we learn from the autopsy?
31:40
Speaker 3: According to WBRZ Madison Brooks leaked autopsy report shows brooks
31:45
Speaker 3: bac as point two eighty two, twelve percent lower than
31:48
Speaker 3: the Sheriff's office report of point three one nine. While
31:51
Speaker 3: there was no sign of vaginal trauma, there were abrasions
31:54
Speaker 3: and bruising to brooks backside that the coroner noted were
31:57
Speaker 3: suspicious of sexual assault. DNA from KIV and Washington was
32:01
Speaker 3: recovered in brooks genital area, but none of the four
32:04
Speaker 3: men's DNA was found.
32:06
Speaker 2: Inside Brooks, but there was their DNA around Mannie's genital area.
32:13
Speaker 2: Their DNA, and I'm curious what type of DNA. Not
32:19
Speaker 2: that it matters to me, because the bruising and the
32:23
Speaker 2: indications on her quote backside as they euphemistically call it
32:27
Speaker 2: in the autopsy report tell me everything I need to know.
32:31
Speaker 6: Joining me right now, renowned in.
32:34
Speaker 2: His field, a domestic violence and sex assault expert, former
32:38
Speaker 2: sex detective in California, Bill Hernandez joining us tonight out
32:43
Speaker 2: of NAPO. Bill, thank you for being with us. Thank
32:45
Speaker 2: you again. That segment of the autopsy tells me everything
32:50
Speaker 2: I need to know.
32:52
Speaker 10: Explain, well, I mean, it's pretty clear that if she
32:56
Speaker 10: has those injuries to those areas, she was obviously sexually assaulted,
33:01
Speaker 10: and with her BAC being as high as it was,
33:03
Speaker 10: there's no possible way that she could have consented to
33:06
Speaker 10: any of that. And then plus she was heard in
33:08
Speaker 10: the background on the video telling the person telling the
33:11
Speaker 10: suspects no and to get off of her. So I mean,
33:14
Speaker 10: it's clearly a rape.
33:15
Speaker 15: So the lack of DNA is not an issue that
33:18
Speaker 15: says there was no sex, that says there was no rape.
33:20
Speaker 15: It just means that there was no ejaculation, but it
33:23
Speaker 15: can also be argued the alternative interpretation to that is
33:26
Speaker 15: there was no sex. But I think with the video
33:28
Speaker 15: and all that that's again a moved point.
33:32
Speaker 16: There's saying that she was absolutely in control of saying
33:37
Speaker 16: us to the sex, and that it was consensual sex.
33:40
Speaker 16: Her blood alcohol content came back at point three one
33:44
Speaker 16: pint nine. Now, in the beginning, I myself kept saying, Okay,
33:47
Speaker 16: that's four times over the legal limit. But she was underage,
33:49
Speaker 16: so the legal limit for anyone under age is point
33:52
Speaker 16: zero two. Actually she was sixteen times over the legal limit.
33:57
Speaker 16: Law enforcement has also said there's no possible way that
33:59
Speaker 16: she could that have consented to it, making.
34:01
Speaker 2: It reap absolutely no way that she could give consent.
34:05
Speaker 2: And not only that, what about this bizarre video that
34:12
Speaker 2: these let me just put it out there, a holes
34:15
Speaker 2: took during the rapes. According to the state, of course,
34:20
Speaker 2: they have not been proven guilty at trial. They have
34:24
Speaker 2: not been proven guilty at trial, but they gave very
34:30
Speaker 2: detailed statements, very detailed statements about what had happened to Maddie.
34:36
Speaker 2: In fact, the ones in the front seat rotating into
34:40
Speaker 2: the back seat, so they could also assault her.
34:44
Speaker 6: Take a listen to this.
34:46
Speaker 3: The videos that Keithon Carver took the night of Maddie
34:49
Speaker 3: Brooks alleged assault have resulted in more charges for the team.
34:52
Speaker 3: A grand jury indicted Carver for video voyeurism in addition
34:56
Speaker 3: to the charge of principle to first and third degree rape.
34:59
Speaker 3: In one of the video, Carver left and said they've
35:02
Speaker 3: been a raper before Brooks was assaulted.
35:04
Speaker 2: Those videos first given a WBRZ and WAFB by the
35:09
Speaker 2: defense who Kieren shawla, we were hearing you earlier. Emmy
35:12
Speaker 2: and Murrow Award winning investigative reporter at Unfiltered with Kieren Karen.
35:17
Speaker 2: I don't know how they think these videos are going
35:21
Speaker 2: to help them.
35:21
Speaker 6: What can you tell us about the videos?
35:24
Speaker 11: Well, the fact that there were additional charges just because
35:27
Speaker 11: the videos came out. There's one reason that sometimes releasing
35:31
Speaker 11: every single thing is not the best idea. I getted
35:34
Speaker 11: the defense attorneys released this hoping to kind of show that, hey,
35:38
Speaker 11: Madison was asking for this. This has kind of been
35:41
Speaker 11: their defense this entire time.
35:43
Speaker 2: What did I just hear the words the defense therea
35:46
Speaker 2: is that Maddie asked for this.
35:50
Speaker 11: Well, because they're claiming, hey, she was even though she
35:53
Speaker 11: was drinking, she wasn't to a point where she was raped.
35:57
Speaker 11: This was consensual. That's been the defenses defense this entire time.
36:01
Speaker 11: This was consensual. That was the reason for releasing these videos.
36:06
Speaker 6: Guys, take a listen to this.
36:08
Speaker 7: Now, over the course of the next hour, Maddie is
36:11
Speaker 7: either raped or has consensual sex with two of these
36:16
Speaker 7: young men. They take herds, one gets out of the
36:19
Speaker 7: vehicle while the other has sex with her or rapes her.
36:23
Speaker 7: Then they swolp over. Now, while this happens, Casen Carver,
36:26
Speaker 7: the driver, and the oldest defendant, his name is ever
36:30
Speaker 7: At Lee. They're in the two front seats of this vehicle.
36:34
Speaker 6: Okay, so how that's not rape? I don't know, Karen.
36:38
Speaker 6: How many of these defendants are actually charged with rape.
36:41
Speaker 6: So three of them are charged with rape itself.
36:43
Speaker 11: But Everett Lee, who was actually one of the uncles
36:46
Speaker 11: of one of the boys, he is charged with principle
36:49
Speaker 11: because he was right there. Now, I want to point
36:51
Speaker 11: out that the driver, he actually threw court through the
36:56
Speaker 11: court document, should I say, they're claiming that he did
36:58
Speaker 11: not actually rape her. However, he videoed it and he
37:02
Speaker 11: never stopped it. That's why his charges from the District
37:04
Speaker 11: Attorney's office were upgraded to include.
37:07
Speaker 1: Break crime stories. With Nancy Grace d A.
37:20
Speaker 2: Hillermore prosecuting this case fouled emotion to recuse this judge
37:25
Speaker 2: from presiding over the case. How is she still on
37:28
Speaker 2: the case. The fact that this judge has now been
37:32
Speaker 2: documented as representing before she was a judge, her serial
37:37
Speaker 2: rapist son, and now letting one rapist go after the next.
37:44
Speaker 1: Listen.
37:44
Speaker 8: Donald Link confesses to raping a woman at knife point,
37:47
Speaker 8: and he has sentenced to life in prison without the
37:49
Speaker 8: possibility of parole. After several appeals, the Louisiana State Supreme
37:54
Speaker 8: Court affirms Link's judgment. A year later, in a second
37:57
Speaker 8: bid for a new trial, Link claims the juries and
37:59
Speaker 8: strung actions were flawed, but the Supreme Court again confirms
38:02
Speaker 8: the trial was fair. This year, Link asked the court
38:05
Speaker 8: to consider amending his sentence to allow parole. Instead, Judge
38:10
Speaker 8: gailhorn Ray overturned the rape conviction.
38:14
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say about that, Jared Ferrotino.
38:17
Speaker 2: It's absolutely unheard of, and that's on appeal. So a
38:22
Speaker 2: guy who is a convicted rapist comes to her and
38:27
Speaker 2: the request is that he be allowed to be considered
38:31
Speaker 2: for parole. Instead, she throws out nobody even asked her
38:37
Speaker 2: to do this, even the defense. She throws out his
38:39
Speaker 2: whole case and he walks freight right there, right there.
38:43
Speaker 2: Nobody asked her to do that, And she was blaming
38:46
Speaker 2: a jury charge, which is everybody. A jury instruction is
38:51
Speaker 2: after the state and the defense give the closing arguments,
38:54
Speaker 2: the judge instructs the jury on the law by.
38:57
Speaker 6: Which they are to judge the case.
38:58
Speaker 2: In other words, the deaf initition of homicide is x,
39:01
Speaker 2: the definition of rape is X, and they have to
39:04
Speaker 2: hear the law and it's got to be correct verbatim.
39:08
Speaker 6: That was not even an issue.
39:09
Speaker 2: She used that as a pretext to let a rapist
39:12
Speaker 2: go Farantino.
39:13
Speaker 12: I've never seen a case thrown out for a bad
39:17
Speaker 12: jury instruction by the judge at that level. If there
39:21
Speaker 12: was prosecutorial misconduct, if there was conduct that was beyond
39:25
Speaker 12: the pale, here's the best. They weren't even asking for that.
39:28
Speaker 12: The DA is in shock over that decision. They didn't
39:32
Speaker 12: go into court prepared to even combat that request. Right
39:36
Speaker 12: the judge gave them a gift, which shows a pattern
39:39
Speaker 12: which is that she has a bias toward rapists. I'm sorry,
39:43
Speaker 12: that's just the way it wients.
39:44
Speaker 2: Well, hold on, I hope you're sitting down. You may
39:46
Speaker 2: need to lay down for this farantine.
39:48
Speaker 6: I listen. There is another case, DeAndre Cox.
39:52
Speaker 3: DeAndre Cox is accused of raping his preteen neighbor twice
39:55
Speaker 3: at gunpoint. Judge Gailhorn Ray sets Cox's bond on one
39:59
Speaker 3: hundred fifty thousand dollars. Four days later, Ray lowers Cox's
40:03
Speaker 3: bond to one hundred thousand dollars without a hearing. Cox
40:06
Speaker 3: is released the same day to house arrest at his
40:09
Speaker 3: grandmother's home within one hundred feet at the victim's residence,
40:12
Speaker 3: in violation of a protection order. At a hearing over
40:15
Speaker 3: the matter, Rave refused to increase the bond and ruled
40:18
Speaker 3: that Cox must now reside with his mother. The victim's
40:22
Speaker 3: mother says Cox's family has harassed her daughter ever since
40:25
Speaker 3: his release.
40:26
Speaker 17: The toxicology kit obviously shows the lack of consent because
40:29
Speaker 17: it was drug facilitated sexual assault. So whether they admitted
40:32
Speaker 17: to doing it, she wanted it. They could admit that
40:34
Speaker 17: all day, but it wasn't consensual. That it was drug facilitated,
40:38
Speaker 17: So either way, and knowing we facilitated it and it
40:40
Speaker 17: was done, it's there.
40:42
Speaker 2: Joining me in All Star panel to make sense of
40:44
Speaker 2: what we are learning today. If this judge stays on
40:48
Speaker 2: this case, it will be a huge travesty of justice.
40:52
Speaker 2: I know that Mattie's mother, Ashley Boster, is refusing to
40:57
Speaker 2: comment on whether the judge should be thrown off case
41:00
Speaker 2: were not. You're stronger than me, Ashley, There's no question
41:03
Speaker 2: about that. But Ashley, do you really believe in your
41:07
Speaker 2: wildest imaginations that your daughter would consent to have sex
41:16
Speaker 2: in the backseat of a car with three guys while
41:20
Speaker 2: another guy up front videoed it. Do you really think
41:25
Speaker 2: that happened?
41:26
Speaker 4: No, I know that didn't happen.
41:28
Speaker 6: It did not happen. That did not happen.
41:33
Speaker 2: And what about the fact that these purpse gave detailed
41:39
Speaker 2: confessions about what happened that night.
41:43
Speaker 18: Listen in the reports.
41:45
Speaker 16: The initial reports when they were all arrested were very detailed.
41:50
Speaker 18: And I remember that he did not want to be
41:53
Speaker 18: there and he didn't want to use his vehicle. But
41:56
Speaker 18: one of the main reasons that the district attorney actually
41:58
Speaker 18: helped his charge two first degree principal or first degree
42:02
Speaker 18: is because he did allow that and he didn't please.
42:04
Speaker 2: Joining me, Bill Hernandez joining US Adam NAPA sex assault
42:09
Speaker 2: detective in California.
42:11
Speaker 6: Bill, thank you for being with us.
42:13
Speaker 2: Detailed statements by the defendants, and you know they're all
42:17
Speaker 2: like it, it says, thereby damning themselves as well, because.
42:24
Speaker 6: One for all and all for one co.
42:27
Speaker 2: Defendants in the car while this happened at the very best.
42:31
Speaker 10: Right yeah, they should be. They're all guilty of the
42:34
Speaker 10: charges that they're facing right now. I mean, they all
42:37
Speaker 10: knew what was going to happen. They talked about it,
42:39
Speaker 10: they were a video recording it and she even said no,
42:43
Speaker 10: and they all had a principle and were actors in
42:46
Speaker 10: this Rate two.
42:47
Speaker 2: Karen Shaula is joining US award winning investigative reporter who
42:52
Speaker 2: is a star of Unfiltered with Kieren. Karen, I just
42:57
Speaker 2: can't believe that the judge is not stepping down down
43:00
Speaker 2: all on her own.
43:02
Speaker 6: What's her problem?
43:03
Speaker 11: I wish I could tell you that it's interesting that
43:07
Speaker 11: we have cases coming up with judges and it's not
43:10
Speaker 11: just her. There are other cases where we've covered with
43:13
Speaker 11: other judges in the same jurisdiction. This is the nineteenth
43:17
Speaker 11: JDC in bant Reach, that is East Bounton Riach Parish.
43:21
Speaker 11: They're not going to talk to the media because they claim, hey,
43:24
Speaker 11: it's an ongoing case.
43:25
Speaker 4: You can call their office.
43:26
Speaker 11: You usually get no comment and then you're hung up
43:29
Speaker 11: on majority of the times, the district attorney is fighting
43:32
Speaker 11: these cases. If it's not with the First Circuit Court
43:34
Speaker 11: of Appeal, it's Louisiana Supreme Court. And honestly the last
43:38
Speaker 11: several cases with some of these judges in our jurisdiction,
43:42
Speaker 11: they're just getting tossed out NonStop with Louisiana Supreme Court
43:47
Speaker 11: overturning or reversing the charges back to the original what
43:54
Speaker 11: it was, and instead where the judges are overturning cases
43:57
Speaker 11: or vacating in the case with Donald Link that also
44:01
Speaker 11: is now being challenged with the Supreme Court.
44:03
Speaker 2: From what I understand, the video, and I don't know
44:07
Speaker 2: what kind of mind would choose to video this horrible
44:10
Speaker 2: sex assault on Ntnie, But in the video, it's very
44:15
Speaker 2: overwhelming video of them holding her down and yelling that
44:19
Speaker 2: they're going to rape her. I don't know what else
44:24
Speaker 2: is needed, but I do not trust this judge overseeing
44:27
Speaker 2: this case.
44:28
Speaker 11: Well, and especially number one, you've already said it. Look
44:31
Speaker 11: at her son, she represented him and now she's a
44:34
Speaker 11: judge over it. But then look at what she just
44:36
Speaker 11: did a few weeks ago with a guy who was
44:39
Speaker 11: serving life and he did not even ask.
44:42
Speaker 4: For what she gave him.
44:43
Speaker 11: She vacated his sentence. We've discussed this repeatedly that it's
44:48
Speaker 11: unheard of, and it's not just unheard of there even
44:51
Speaker 11: our local district Attorney hill Or Moore is just baffled
44:55
Speaker 11: by something with this that he did not ask for
44:59
Speaker 11: a va vacate.
45:01
Speaker 4: He asks to.
45:02
Speaker 11: Simply reduce the charge so he could actually be eligible
45:06
Speaker 11: for paroles. Right, So it just goes to show that
45:09
Speaker 11: it's almost like she has a soft corner for rapists.
45:13
Speaker 11: Her son is a convicted rapist. This Donald Link was
45:16
Speaker 11: a convicted rapist. It's not that they haven't gone to
45:20
Speaker 11: trial yet, so it's not a innocent until proven guilty.
45:23
Speaker 6: They've been proven guilty.
45:25
Speaker 2: I want to go to Ashley Boster, this is Mattie's mother, Ashley.
45:30
Speaker 2: If you kids speak out today to other family members,
45:34
Speaker 2: moms and dads all across our country, and to write
45:37
Speaker 2: victims themselves.
45:39
Speaker 6: What are your words? What's your message?
45:41
Speaker 5: Cherish your babies, Cherish every single moment with them, and
45:48
Speaker 5: teach your kids to be a leader, to step up
45:51
Speaker 5: for what's right.
45:53
Speaker 4: So many people could have.
45:55
Speaker 5: Intervened that night and none of this would have happened.
46:00
Speaker 5: Teach them to if they see something, to do something,
46:03
Speaker 5: to be proactive. If things don't look right, help someone,
46:10
Speaker 5: even if you don't know who they are. Just be
46:12
Speaker 5: that leader, be the voice of action.
46:14
Speaker 2: Maddie Brooks, according to prosecutors, was sex assaulted by multiple
46:21
Speaker 2: men before she was run over in the street. In
46:28
Speaker 2: one text message, one of the suspects writes his dad
46:32
Speaker 2: the quote judge is on our side and was quote
46:35
Speaker 2: going to rule in our favor, also claiming quote we
46:40
Speaker 2: are friends with the judge and adding quote she knows
46:45
Speaker 2: to help us. Oh, Dear Lord in heaven, please let
46:52
Speaker 2: justice unfold in this case. Nancy Gray's crime story, signing
46:56
Speaker 2: off goodbye.
