Was America's Top 40 star Casey Kasem MURDERED? Wife and children say YES · Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

0:03
Speaker 1: Breaking news. Now. In the last hours, we are discovering
0:06
Speaker 1: the FBI has found a body and the search for
0:10
Speaker 1: a missing little girl, Hanja Aguilar. As you will recall,
0:17
Speaker 1: Hanja went outside of her home early early in the morning,
0:22
Speaker 1: a little after seven am, to crank up the car
0:27
Speaker 1: to be taken to school. She was ready. She was
0:30
Speaker 1: waiting on her aunt come out and drive her to school.
0:34
Speaker 1: She gets out there, she knows how to turn the ignition.
0:36
Speaker 1: She did it, and at some point we have now
0:40
Speaker 1: learned that a mail comes up and is spotted by
0:44
Speaker 1: a neighbor wrestling her into a car, wrestling her into
0:51
Speaker 1: a vehicle, into an suv and drives off. The suv
0:56
Speaker 1: was later found dumped in Lumberton, several miles away from
1:01
Speaker 1: where Hanya lived. In the last hours, we were learning
1:04
Speaker 1: a body has been found. To Alan, you joining me, Alan,
1:09
Speaker 1: what do we know right now? We know that the
1:12
Speaker 1: body was found about ten miles from where Hanya was
1:15
Speaker 1: last seen, where she was abducted from a home before school. However,
1:20
Speaker 1: at this hour they're not positively identifying the body as Hanya,
1:25
Speaker 1: but the FBI says it was located in an area
1:29
Speaker 1: where they were already following a lead, so they very
1:33
Speaker 1: definitely believe that it is this child. Vincent Hill with
1:37
Speaker 1: me right now, cop turned private investigator, author of playbook
1:40
Speaker 1: to a Murder, Vincent. The FBI has stated that the
1:45
Speaker 1: same authorities investigating the little girl Hanya Aguilar's disappearance found
1:50
Speaker 1: the body. It was found late in the afternoon near Lumberton.
1:54
Speaker 1: That's telling me two things. These investigators find the body,
1:57
Speaker 1: which tells me it's connected to her, that it is
2:00
Speaker 1: her body. And number two, it was found near Lumberton,
2:04
Speaker 1: that tells me it was somebody local that took this child.
2:09
Speaker 1: She wasn't put in a car and raised two or
2:11
Speaker 1: three hundred miles away. She was stolen by somebody familiar
2:16
Speaker 1: with that area. Vincent Hill, Yeah, absolutely, Nancy. I mean,
2:20
Speaker 1: I think all signs to point that this was her body,
2:22
Speaker 1: and the fact that her body was found not too
2:25
Speaker 1: far from where the truck was abandoned does indeed suggested
2:28
Speaker 1: with someone local that knew the area and not someone
2:31
Speaker 1: that wanted to kidnap her and take her cross state
2:34
Speaker 1: lines or anything like that. So that's where I would
2:36
Speaker 1: definitely start my investigation right there. Locally, I'd also look
2:41
Speaker 1: at what was found near where her body was found.
2:43
Speaker 1: You know, the beauty in this tragedy is the weather
2:46
Speaker 1: has been cold, so maybe some DNA evidence has been
2:49
Speaker 1: preserved there around the field. So I'm sure investigators are
2:53
Speaker 1: looking into all that right now, Nancy, And hurts me
2:56
Speaker 1: to even go there right now, to think about DNA
2:58
Speaker 1: evidence on this little girl's body, the fact that there
3:03
Speaker 1: was someone out there clearly waiting for her, watching her
3:08
Speaker 1: at seven o'clock in the morning, Susan Constantine with me
3:13
Speaker 1: right now. You're the human behavior expert. Way in and Nancy,
3:17
Speaker 1: what I was really focusing on was the video of
3:20
Speaker 1: the subject that was walking within ten minutes of when
3:24
Speaker 1: she was abducted, and that was really telling to me
3:28
Speaker 1: because it really helps us to understand who that person
3:32
Speaker 1: might be, someone that is out there that is watching
3:35
Speaker 1: this video saying, you know that persons walk, their stride,
3:38
Speaker 1: their movement, their characteristics are similar to someone that I know,
3:42
Speaker 1: and who else would be in that area at that
3:45
Speaker 1: time in the morning, someone that knows their patterns or behaviors,
3:48
Speaker 1: So that video was very telling. In fact, in Tampa,
3:52
Speaker 1: we had a similar case here where there was a
3:54
Speaker 1: shooter where a shooter walk right up to an innocent
3:57
Speaker 1: person shoot and walk away, and they had footage. We
4:00
Speaker 1: were able to identify a lot of their characteristics which
4:03
Speaker 1: were similar to a person that they found on working
4:05
Speaker 1: I believe that a McDonald and he was later found
4:09
Speaker 1: in an apprehended and composed to the murder. In a
4:12
Speaker 1: bid to generate new leads and Honya's disappearance, the FBI
4:15
Speaker 1: put out photos of shoes, shoes similar to those belonging
4:21
Speaker 1: to Hanya, and they're very unique. They're white but with
4:25
Speaker 1: a blast of a color design in the back, basically
4:29
Speaker 1: trying to garner interest in the case. This after they
4:31
Speaker 1: had already released the video that Susan Constantina is telling
4:35
Speaker 1: you about. Right now. We are waiting on a positive ID,
4:39
Speaker 1: a positive ID, regarding the discovery of this body that
4:43
Speaker 1: we believe to be this little girl. Another issue that
4:47
Speaker 1: in my mind, other than being covered here on crime online,
4:51
Speaker 1: dot com and crime stories, I noticed there was very
4:55
Speaker 1: very little coverage of Hanya's disappearance except in local papers.
5:00
Speaker 1: Is it because she's Hispanic? For some reason? It's her
5:03
Speaker 1: life matter less than other people's because it doesn't to me.
5:09
Speaker 1: I want answers who did this to this child? Who
5:13
Speaker 1: is thinking of kidnap and murderer and assault at seven
5:18
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, waiting, waiting like a wolf and
5:24
Speaker 1: a quiet residential neighborhood tipline nine one zero two seven
5:29
Speaker 1: two five eight seven one repeat nine one zero two
5:33
Speaker 1: seven two five eight seven one. There is a thirty
5:37
Speaker 1: thousand dollar reward. In two thousand and seven, at the
5:42
Speaker 1: age of seventy five, Casey Kyson was diagnosed with a
5:46
Speaker 1: Parkinson's like disease called Louis body dementia. It slows them down.
5:52
Speaker 1: They can either get rigid or shaking. It may sometimes
5:59
Speaker 1: affect their speech. In two thousand and nine, he gave
6:02
Speaker 1: up his beloved radio show and signed off for the
6:07
Speaker 1: last time. Now one more time, keep your feet on
6:10
Speaker 1: the ground and keep reaching for this Diaris. Casey would
6:15
Speaker 1: have no financial worries with an estate valued between eighty
6:20
Speaker 1: and one hundred million dollars, but around that time Genie
6:23
Speaker 1: claims his children became focused on one thing. It was
6:29
Speaker 1: all about the money. We became the bank of case M,
6:33
Speaker 1: the personal ATM machine. You're hearing the widow of legendary
6:38
Speaker 1: Casey Cason. That's Gene case M accusing his children and
6:42
Speaker 1: focusing on nothing but money. Being interviewed by CBS Peter
6:47
Speaker 1: van zandt Well, the plot thickens listen around twenty twelve.
6:53
Speaker 1: According to Genie, Casey was fed up and cut them
6:57
Speaker 1: off financially. Genie says the kids were furious, but instead
7:01
Speaker 1: of getting mad, Genie claims Carrie and the others did
7:05
Speaker 1: something almost unimaginable. I believe that Carrie Kayson did kill
7:13
Speaker 1: my husband, that it was a long term, premeditated plan
7:18
Speaker 1: and he's gone. It's just light after light after life
7:22
Speaker 1: without any evidence. You are hearing reporter Peter van Zand
7:26
Speaker 1: with CBS interviewing Casey Kayson's widow. I mean, see Grace,
7:31
Speaker 1: this is crime Stories. Thank you for being with us.
7:33
Speaker 1: What happened to legendary star Kasey Kayson right now? In
7:38
Speaker 1: a bizarre twist, his widow claims his three children from
7:43
Speaker 1: his first marriage, not her bio children, conspired to murder
7:48
Speaker 1: him for his money, but they say she is the
7:53
Speaker 1: one who killed the radio star with me right now, Alan,
7:59
Speaker 1: do joining me from La Alan, just give me a
8:02
Speaker 1: bear bones. What happened this legend of radio It was
8:07
Speaker 1: diagnosed with Louis body disease, which is a Parkinson like
8:11
Speaker 1: disease that is degenerative. He deteriorated over the next seven years,
8:16
Speaker 1: and there was some serious family feuding going on between
8:21
Speaker 1: the three children from his first marriage and his then wife,
8:26
Speaker 1: his widow now Jeane Casum, he'd been married to for
8:30
Speaker 1: about thirty years before his death, and each say it
8:35
Speaker 1: is all about the money. Well they're both saying that,
8:37
Speaker 1: but right now the question is what happened Casey Cason
8:41
Speaker 1: listened that move that night was to get him out
8:44
Speaker 1: of the drama and to keep him safe and secure.
8:48
Speaker 1: We had had enough. Genie Cason, Casey's wife of thirty
8:53
Speaker 1: four years, says she was convinced her husband's life was
8:57
Speaker 1: in danger. What were you thinking? I was thinking that
9:03
Speaker 1: it was time to protect my husband. You are hearing
9:07
Speaker 1: her explaining why she took Casey out of a Santa
9:10
Speaker 1: Monica care facility and took him on a quote road
9:15
Speaker 1: trip in May. He's ailing, He's suffering from this syndrome.
9:20
Speaker 1: She thought she had to protect him, so, she says,
9:23
Speaker 1: by taking him out of a care facility, the legendary
9:27
Speaker 1: DJ Casey Cason's widow claims his three grown children conspired
9:31
Speaker 1: to kill him for the hundred million dollar estate, but
9:35
Speaker 1: they blame her, Gene Cason, his second wife. She says,
9:41
Speaker 1: the children tricked their father into signing over power of
9:44
Speaker 1: attorney to them, and they are the ones responsible for
9:49
Speaker 1: his death. But what really happened? Joining me right now,
9:54
Speaker 1: Troy Slayton, defense lawyer out of LA high profile defense lawyer.
10:00
Speaker 1: You're very close with the children. Have just spoken recently
10:03
Speaker 1: to Carrie. What's your understanding of what's happening, Troy, is
10:07
Speaker 1: that everything that Gene is saying is completely belied by
10:11
Speaker 1: the facts. Where she claims that Carrie killed her husband
10:19
Speaker 1: by essentially pulling the plug. What happened was hydration and
10:26
Speaker 1: nutrition was removed by the order of or at the
10:33
Speaker 1: recommendation of three doctors, an internist, a hospitalist, and an ethicist,
10:40
Speaker 1: and the judge in Los Angeles gave Carrie Casum that
10:45
Speaker 1: those that authority to allow the doctors to do what
10:50
Speaker 1: they thought was back. So whoah, let me understand this.
10:55
Speaker 1: So it's the daughter who made the decision to pull
10:57
Speaker 1: the plug. It was Casey Kasum. It was the daughter
11:01
Speaker 1: following the orders or the recommendation of three doctors. Well,
11:06
Speaker 1: I can tell you this, Troy, Slayton. I hear what
11:08
Speaker 1: you're saying, and you're very good friends with the children
11:13
Speaker 1: that when it came right down to it, I did
11:15
Speaker 1: not want the plug pulled on my father. I wanted
11:18
Speaker 1: him to live if there was any chance. I was
11:21
Speaker 1: having a showdown with the doctors hoping that he could live.
11:26
Speaker 1: And I also find it very interesting joining me psychoanalyst
11:31
Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall also in LA. Why does everything happen
11:34
Speaker 1: in LA? Don't you people have enough money and enough
11:38
Speaker 1: luxury homes and cars and plastic surgery to be happy?
11:41
Speaker 1: Because from what I am understanding, it's her Jane Cayson,
11:47
Speaker 1: the wife, the second wife, is the one who hires
11:52
Speaker 1: a private investigator who concludes that Casey Kyson was the
11:57
Speaker 1: victim of homicide. Now that's according to forty eight Hours.
11:59
Speaker 1: She is the one that hires the PI to find
12:01
Speaker 1: out what happened? Right? What am I missing here, Bethany? Well,
12:05
Speaker 1: I mean if she hires the PI, it doesn't imply
12:08
Speaker 1: that she would be guilty, you know, Nancy, I hear
12:10
Speaker 1: this from a mental health perspective. In the seventies and
12:12
Speaker 1: the eighties, we have this term blended families that if
12:16
Speaker 1: the dad remarried, then the stepmother and the step child, Bethany.
12:23
Speaker 1: You know, you're much too glamorous to make your own breakfast,
12:25
Speaker 1: but I make John David as smoothie. And when you
12:28
Speaker 1: blend things sometimes there's big chunks in it that just
12:30
Speaker 1: don't go down very well. Right, So we talk about
12:32
Speaker 1: a blended family. I think this one had a few
12:34
Speaker 1: chunks in it that doesn't go down very well. That's
12:37
Speaker 1: why I say the idea of the blended family was
12:40
Speaker 1: a myth. There's a lot of research regarding blended families,
12:44
Speaker 1: and what's happening in the Casey Cason family happens in
12:47
Speaker 1: every other family. Initially, the stepchildren idealize their stepmother, that
12:51
Speaker 1: stepmother is like the bestie, and then within a few
12:55
Speaker 1: years they begin to hate the stepmother. She's not my mom,
12:58
Speaker 1: it's your fault. My dad divorced, you're not really his wife.
13:02
Speaker 1: And there's a very telling statement. I think it's Kerry
13:05
Speaker 1: Kayson or one of the children said, why did Jean
13:09
Speaker 1: get the mansion when I work for a living? So
13:13
Speaker 1: somehow these kids feel that the money that was given
13:16
Speaker 1: to the wife of thirty four years should be going
13:20
Speaker 1: to them, And I think that's what this is all about.
13:22
Speaker 1: If they don't think that she's his real wife, but
13:25
Speaker 1: she is, she might be crazy. She may have made
13:28
Speaker 1: very poor medical decisions. Maybe she did, against doctor's advice,
13:32
Speaker 1: load him in the back of an suv in a
13:34
Speaker 1: paranoid state and take him to a private home to
13:37
Speaker 1: nurse him for the remainder of his months or years.
13:40
Speaker 1: But she was still his wife, And I think that's
13:42
Speaker 1: where the confusion lies in all of this. Can you
13:45
Speaker 1: tell me something, Bethany, Doctor Bethany joining me along with
13:48
Speaker 1: Troy Sletton, Jesseh Scott Morgan, Kathleen Murphy, and Alan Deacon.
13:54
Speaker 1: Of course joining us shortly will be Jane Kayson Bethany.
14:00
Speaker 1: And my dad was on his deathbed, and it pains
14:04
Speaker 1: me to even say those words. In the same sense,
14:08
Speaker 1: I just wasn't thinking straight. But every night I would
14:12
Speaker 1: make him a cup of decaf and a certain way,
14:17
Speaker 1: and I would give him a dessert after supper. Now
14:20
Speaker 1: he was borderline diabetic and had heart issues, so I'd
14:23
Speaker 1: have to make a special dessert, okay, And I remember this,
14:27
Speaker 1: and I don't know what was in my head, but
14:30
Speaker 1: as he was lying there and everybody else was saying
14:33
Speaker 1: you can go now, it's okay, let go. I was
14:37
Speaker 1: literally in his ear saying, come home, daddy, I'll make
14:42
Speaker 1: a cup of decaf, come home, don't go, do not go,
14:48
Speaker 1: don't leave me. So I'm just projecting what may have
14:53
Speaker 1: been going through her mind. I mean, that makes no
14:55
Speaker 1: sense at all, Like loading him up in the back
14:57
Speaker 1: of the station wagon and take him then doesn't make
14:59
Speaker 1: any sense. It doesn't have to make sense. Well, well,
15:03
Speaker 1: to me, it makes sense if you think that the
15:05
Speaker 1: step children are nipping at the parents' heels, wanting the money,
15:10
Speaker 1: trying to visit the dada, And I understand why they
15:12
Speaker 1: would want to visit the dad. I'm just taking this
15:15
Speaker 1: from a research perspective and what I know happens in
15:17
Speaker 1: all families, most families when a stepmother is introduced, that
15:23
Speaker 1: the children develop great animosity for the step parent, and
15:26
Speaker 1: then the step parents sometimes gets very paranoid and very
15:29
Speaker 1: crazy in an attempt to protect the marriage. This happens
15:33
Speaker 1: in case after case after case. I've seen it in
15:36
Speaker 1: my practice. There's research that backs this up. So I
15:39
Speaker 1: think this is the underlying scheme that could account for
15:42
Speaker 1: all the craziness as well as eighty two hundred million
15:45
Speaker 1: dollars is that the step kids did not feel that
15:48
Speaker 1: their stepmother was rendering good care. Now, should she have
15:52
Speaker 1: load him up in the back of an suv, Absolutely not,
15:56
Speaker 1: and she did at Ama against medical advice. But the
15:59
Speaker 1: fact that the children wanted to pull the plug, I
16:02
Speaker 1: think is very suspicious because unless a patient has cancer
16:06
Speaker 1: and is an extraordinary pain or is on life support,
16:11
Speaker 1: usually family members do not want to pull the plug.
16:14
Speaker 1: They want to sit by the side of their loved
16:16
Speaker 1: one and let them slowly drift away, and that's how
16:19
Speaker 1: it goes. So the mysterious to me that wasn't the
16:23
Speaker 1: case here. The doctors three doctors said that having him
16:27
Speaker 1: hooked up to hydration and nutrition, which sounds like, you know,
16:31
Speaker 1: a basic life support that you would give anyone. You
16:33
Speaker 1: don't want anyone to starve or die of dehydration, that
16:38
Speaker 1: those were actually killing him because his organs were shutting
16:42
Speaker 1: down and his G tube was backing up. That those
16:47
Speaker 1: things were actually causing him more pain than they were
16:51
Speaker 1: doing good. And a judge made a distinct finding that
16:55
Speaker 1: Gene case M was not acting in his best The
17:01
Speaker 1: children of legendary DJ Casey Kasem are demanding to know
17:05
Speaker 1: where is Caseum? Those adult children had put targets on
17:11
Speaker 1: our back. Do you believe that your husband, Casey Kyson
17:14
Speaker 1: feared his children, Yes, and feared that they could do
17:18
Speaker 1: what what they did, which was Kelly. That's ridiculous. That's
17:25
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. There is no more evil in this world
17:31
Speaker 1: than Gene Thompson Cason. You were hearing just a tiny
17:34
Speaker 1: taste of what's being going on regarding the death of
17:37
Speaker 1: DJ's superstar Casey Kayson, who can't remember America's top forty
17:44
Speaker 1: I mean, and the voice of Shaggy for Pete's sake,
17:47
Speaker 1: Shaggy in Scooby Doo is Casey Caseum. I remember when
17:54
Speaker 1: I was doing Dancing with the Stars, and it was
17:56
Speaker 1: the first time I was away from the children for
18:00
Speaker 1: extended periods of time in their waking hours. Usually I
18:03
Speaker 1: go do my headline news show at night, and so
18:08
Speaker 1: I was away from them practicing dancing eight hours a day.
18:11
Speaker 1: And my husband allowed my son to develop a very
18:14
Speaker 1: unhealthy obsession with Scooby Doo. So we watched it night
18:18
Speaker 1: and day. We'd order the DVDs, would scour the aisles
18:22
Speaker 1: of Target for more Scooby Doo and Shaggy. You know
18:26
Speaker 1: is Casey Caysum. Of course there's America's top forty. That
18:30
Speaker 1: voice will go down in history. We're talking about not
18:34
Speaker 1: just his stellar career, but the death of Casey Kasum.
18:38
Speaker 1: Right now, what we understand is that Casey Caysum's widow,
18:43
Speaker 1: claiming his three adult children from his first marriage, conspired
18:48
Speaker 1: to kill Casey for his money. But they say she
18:53
Speaker 1: quote air quote murdered the radio legend. What is the answer?
19:01
Speaker 1: We just left off in a feud between Bethany Marshall
19:06
Speaker 1: dodgor Bethany Marshall, psychoanalyst in LA, and Troy s. Layton,
19:10
Speaker 1: high profile defense attorney in LA who is very dear
19:13
Speaker 1: friends with Cason's children. Shouldn't it be a simple matter
19:17
Speaker 1: to Joseph Scott Morgan, death investigator, professor forensics, Jacksonville State University,
19:22
Speaker 1: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon to figure
19:25
Speaker 1: out why he died? What do you know about the
19:28
Speaker 1: disease he had? Joe Scott, Yeah, Louis body dementia is
19:32
Speaker 1: in kind of the same class as Parkinson's, but it
19:35
Speaker 1: has a different feel for it, and many times people
19:38
Speaker 1: are initially misdiagnosed with Parkinson's and which you know many
19:42
Speaker 1: of us that have people with Parkinson's and our families,
19:46
Speaker 1: so we've noted tremors and the unseady gait and this
19:48
Speaker 1: sort of thing. But with the Louis body dementia, over
19:51
Speaker 1: a period of time, you begin to see that people
19:53
Speaker 1: will present with hallucinations, they're disoriented, and it ends with
19:59
Speaker 1: them completely in a contracted state where they're not able
20:02
Speaker 1: to even take care of themselves. They're basicutte when you
20:06
Speaker 1: say a contracted state. Okay, does that mean they physically
20:10
Speaker 1: die well, but from the disease or they mentally disintegrate. Yeah,
20:15
Speaker 1: they disintegrate mentally, but also as as a result of that,
20:19
Speaker 1: their physical faculties fail them. They can't feed themselves, they
20:23
Speaker 1: become very rigid, and many times they'll begin to hallucinate
20:27
Speaker 1: and you know, they'll see things that aren't you know,
20:30
Speaker 1: that aren't part of reality. And they're muted as well.
20:34
Speaker 1: They they lose the ability to actually speak. So you
20:38
Speaker 1: have a person, an adult person, who is in a
20:43
Speaker 1: very infantile state at this point. They're very, very vulnerable. Now,
20:46
Speaker 1: this is what we know leading up to Casey Casum's
20:49
Speaker 1: of death, there was another battle brewing. The eldest daughter
20:52
Speaker 1: of eighty one year old Casey Casum, is claiming that
20:54
Speaker 1: her stepmother, Gene Casum, is banning her and her siblings,
20:58
Speaker 1: her uncle, and Casey's close his friends from seeing him
21:01
Speaker 1: carry case Him tell CNN that she used to visit
21:03
Speaker 1: her dad once a week until about three months ago,
21:06
Speaker 1: when she was suddenly no longer allowed visitation. There have
21:09
Speaker 1: been some accusations that Casey's children want access to him
21:13
Speaker 1: because they're after his estate, and that's something Carrie strongly denies.
21:16
Speaker 1: Here's what she told CNN about that. My dad told
21:19
Speaker 1: us a long time ago we were not in the will,
21:21
Speaker 1: and we're okay with that. We've known that for years.
21:24
Speaker 1: I don't want any of his money. My father taught
21:26
Speaker 1: us to stand on our own two feet, and I'm
21:28
Speaker 1: proud of that. It's not about the money. We love
21:31
Speaker 1: our father and he's been ripped from us. You are
21:33
Speaker 1: hearing my friend aj Hammer reporting regarding what was going
21:39
Speaker 1: on before Casey passed away to Kathleen Murphy, we need
21:45
Speaker 1: you now, Kathleen family lawyer joining us. It sounds like
21:48
Speaker 1: the children are battling to have visitation with their father.
21:51
Speaker 1: That sounds exactly like that to me too, Nancy. And
21:55
Speaker 1: it appears to me that they were resigned to not
21:57
Speaker 1: getting the money. They loved it their dad. We love
22:00
Speaker 1: our dad. And I don't see any motives on the
22:04
Speaker 1: part of the children, any motives except for the true
22:08
Speaker 1: love of their faulting. Well, it's a little confusing to
22:11
Speaker 1: me because what we're hearing in Troy's Layton. I want
22:13
Speaker 1: you to listen to this. You're the defense lawyer signing
22:15
Speaker 1: with the children. I'm not signing with anybody, by the way,
22:18
Speaker 1: because I don't know the answer yet. But the children,
22:22
Speaker 1: they say, we're fine about being written out of the wheel.
22:26
Speaker 1: But listen to this. Jene claims that Casey has no
22:30
Speaker 1: memory of ever signing that document. Watch the tape, put
22:33
Speaker 1: the address but UPS store. You'll see my dad knew
22:36
Speaker 1: what he was doing, knew what he was signing nineteen Now,
22:39
Speaker 1: a state planning is normally done in a lawyer's office.
22:42
Speaker 1: You're at a UPS store. He was terrified that Jane
22:45
Speaker 1: would find out. Let me give you Jean's interpretation of
22:48
Speaker 1: what she told me. And this is you, yep, and
22:51
Speaker 1: this is your father. Yes, Now there's a circle here
22:55
Speaker 1: because he supposedly had had a medical procedure and had
22:58
Speaker 1: sutures in his head. Is that, to my knowledge, that
23:01
Speaker 1: is falsified information you were hearing right there. That's CBS
23:06
Speaker 1: reporter Peter van Zen questioning the daughter Carrie Cason, about
23:10
Speaker 1: the unusual circumstances about how sheen or siblings got their
23:14
Speaker 1: dad to sign a trust document at a Hollywood UPS store,
23:20
Speaker 1: you know, United Parcel Services. So why is such an
23:24
Speaker 1: important document being signed by him at the UPS store
23:30
Speaker 1: at the counter, a very serious legal document with a
23:35
Speaker 1: guy with one hundred million dollar fortune. What's happening? And
23:39
Speaker 1: then the other allegations that he actually had stitches in
23:42
Speaker 1: his head and was being presented with his document by
23:45
Speaker 1: his daughter to sign. What if anything doesn't mean now?
23:50
Speaker 1: The daughter says he knew exactly what he was doing.
23:53
Speaker 1: Not so, says his widow of thirty four years, Jean Cason.
23:58
Speaker 1: And right now Jenksm is joining us live, Miss Cayson.
24:02
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us, Hello, Nancy, thank you
24:05
Speaker 1: for having me, Miss case Over all the years I've
24:08
Speaker 1: watched you and Casey Kasim on red carpets and Hollywood events,
24:13
Speaker 1: and he's always dressed in a black tuxedo, and you're
24:18
Speaker 1: always just in this glamorous dress with the beautiful hair.
24:23
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you right now with your hair all
24:26
Speaker 1: done up in a red glittery dress, and you both
24:29
Speaker 1: have beautiful smiles, and it just seems like, yeah, had
24:33
Speaker 1: the world by the tail. What happened, Gene, Well, like
24:38
Speaker 1: you said, we were married for thirty four years, and
24:42
Speaker 1: we had a beautiful life, and we were inseparable, and
24:46
Speaker 1: we worked very hard, and when we weren't working, we
24:50
Speaker 1: worked even harder for charitable events. Gene, I don't understand
24:54
Speaker 1: how everything went sideways. I know that Casey Kayson, who
24:59
Speaker 1: I'm just a huge fan. I was just telling the
25:01
Speaker 1: others a story of I know he's gone from your world,
25:06
Speaker 1: but in our world, my children watch Scooby Doo incessantly,
25:12
Speaker 1: and of course the top forty is still in syndication
25:15
Speaker 1: right now, he is living on forever. But yeah, I
25:21
Speaker 1: don't understand. I know he was ill, but I don't
25:24
Speaker 1: understand what's happening now. I know that he left you
25:29
Speaker 1: his estate, and at that time the grown children said, hey,
25:32
Speaker 1: we're fine with that, We've got our own money. But
25:35
Speaker 1: then how did this legal document end up? Getting signed
25:39
Speaker 1: an executorship. I believe at a UPS story it's called
25:43
Speaker 1: on video. Well, ironically, this is a real Scooby Doo mystery,
25:49
Speaker 1: isn't it. Nancy with Me is Casey Kayson's widow, Gene
25:54
Speaker 1: Cayson married to Casey the legend for nearly forty years.
26:01
Speaker 1: What do you believe happened, Miss Cason? Well, I think
26:04
Speaker 1: everybody needs to go back to the year twenty thirteen
26:09
Speaker 1: when they filed the first corrupt guardianship attempt of my husband.
26:15
Speaker 1: In the court Field documents, the first stipulation was to consent,
26:23
Speaker 1: refusal of consent or withdrawal of consent to any care, treatment, service,
26:31
Speaker 1: or procedure to maintain, diagnose, or treat any physical or
26:36
Speaker 1: mental condition of the proposed conservative, including without limitation, the
26:43
Speaker 1: withholding or withdrawal of life sustaining procedures in a terminal condition.
26:51
Speaker 1: I think that shows the premeditation, and I think that's
26:55
Speaker 1: why they took him down on Hollywood Boulevards in a
26:59
Speaker 1: UPS store to basically sign his life away. He was alone,
27:07
Speaker 1: he had no legal counsel. It was there was undue influence.
27:12
Speaker 1: He had stitches in his head, he had been recuperating
27:16
Speaker 1: from surgery. He was on various medications and no glasses,
27:22
Speaker 1: you know, hearing you describe that. So what he was signing,
27:26
Speaker 1: I guess, Kathleen Murphy with me family lawyer as an
27:30
Speaker 1: executorship of sorts, that they the children would make the
27:34
Speaker 1: decision as to whether he would remain on life support. Kathleen,
27:38
Speaker 1: that's correct. Fancy. The children's behaviors and actions as described
27:44
Speaker 1: by miss case them are concerning Jane Cason with me
27:47
Speaker 1: and Choice Light, and I'm going to give you a
27:49
Speaker 1: chance to defend the children with whom your friends. Jane.
27:54
Speaker 1: I'm just listening to what you're saying. And it was
27:57
Speaker 1: ultimately the children that decided to tell him off life support.
28:01
Speaker 1: And you're saying that in your mind, premeditation for exactly
28:06
Speaker 1: that began when they got him to sign over this
28:10
Speaker 1: document at a UPS store. Is that right? Well, Matthew,
28:13
Speaker 1: the document was signed on Veterans Day and my husband
28:17
Speaker 1: was a VET in two thousand and seven and held
28:21
Speaker 1: in secrecy until it was actively concealed until twenty thirteen,
28:30
Speaker 1: and that's when they filed and that document allowed them
28:34
Speaker 1: to make the life support decision. Is that right now?
28:37
Speaker 1: I don't really like the words life support, because at
28:42
Speaker 1: that time he was very much alive, and life support
28:47
Speaker 1: to me means that there's artificial machines allowing one to live,
28:56
Speaker 1: and that was not the case. Ah, you know what
28:59
Speaker 1: that is. It is a very important distinction. You're absolutely right.
29:04
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. When you took him. There's
29:10
Speaker 1: a lot of controversy is swirling around your decision to
29:14
Speaker 1: pack him up and taking him out of that care
29:16
Speaker 1: facility in Santa Monica. Can you explain your reasoning? Well,
29:21
Speaker 1: first of all, Nancy, let me tell you how that
29:23
Speaker 1: first corrupt attempt to end it. It was denied for
29:27
Speaker 1: no good cause and it was ultimately denied with prejudice
29:32
Speaker 1: and put to an end. Case closed on January fourteen
29:37
Speaker 1: to twenty old. On just a moment, Jane royce lytton
29:40
Speaker 1: defense lawyer, you're defending the children today. The judge actually
29:45
Speaker 1: ruled against them. The judge when Gene Caseum attempted to
29:51
Speaker 1: go into court to have artificial hydration and nutrition reinstated
30:02
Speaker 1: onto Casey Caseum, and she went in ex parte, that means,
30:07
Speaker 1: on her own into court and convinced the judge to
30:11
Speaker 1: order the hospital to reinstate those things now. I'm sorry
30:16
Speaker 1: I must interrupt. Ex parte does not mean on your own.
30:20
Speaker 1: I was represented with legal counsel. And I hate to
30:24
Speaker 1: correct you, but I I hate to correct you, but
30:28
Speaker 1: I really want the facts to come out because there
30:31
Speaker 1: has been such a false narrative put out there about
30:35
Speaker 1: me and about my daughter Liberty, and about Casey. So
30:40
Speaker 1: I really, I really feel strongly in having to stop
30:43
Speaker 1: you when you're going down the wrong track. I think
30:47
Speaker 1: what he meant was, Um you're saying you went with
30:49
Speaker 1: your lawyers and your reps. He means the other side,
30:52
Speaker 1: the children weren't there. Ex party means just one side
30:55
Speaker 1: goes before the judge Troy Slaton. When you were giving
30:58
Speaker 1: the details, you left out the little fact that the
31:00
Speaker 1: judge it previously ruled against the children. You know to
31:06
Speaker 1: Jane Caseum, why do you think the children you're accusing
31:11
Speaker 1: the children basically murdering their dad. I want to find
31:15
Speaker 1: out why you think they would have, what their possible
31:18
Speaker 1: motivation was, and why that day you felt you had
31:22
Speaker 1: to remove him from that care facility, you know, Nancy,
31:25
Speaker 1: after it was denied with prejudice for no good cause.
31:28
Speaker 1: In case clothes, four months later they filed another fraudulent
31:34
Speaker 1: guardianship petition. And when you know that somebody is trying
31:41
Speaker 1: to kill your husband, you will do everything in the
31:45
Speaker 1: world to try to protect him. Jase and I knew,
31:50
Speaker 1: and we spoke many times after the first attempted guardianship
31:55
Speaker 1: of what their motives were. Back to that evening that
31:59
Speaker 1: he left the care facility. What was your thinking, Jane,
32:03
Speaker 1: Just to seek peace, just so I could care for him.
32:07
Speaker 1: Just seeking peace, just so I could care for him peacefully,
32:12
Speaker 1: without all the disruptions, without the onslaught of the media,
32:21
Speaker 1: without being stalked, without being followed, without being harassed. You
32:30
Speaker 1: were married to Casey Kayson for I know, thirty four years,
32:33
Speaker 1: and you you courted before that. When did you first
32:38
Speaker 1: realize the children his children did not like you? I
32:43
Speaker 1: don't know why. I've always contributed to their lifestyle and
32:49
Speaker 1: their livelihood. What do you mean by that you contributed
32:52
Speaker 1: to their lifestyle and their livelihood? Well, where do you
32:55
Speaker 1: think they got their money from? From their dad? Definitely
32:59
Speaker 1: from you and their dad. Now it's my understanding that
33:02
Speaker 1: they worked, Is that right? Chroice Lytton? Did the children
33:05
Speaker 1: have their own jobs? That's absolutely true, Nancy they are
33:09
Speaker 1: all independently successful. Julie who is well, Carrie, who's his
33:17
Speaker 1: eldest daughter, has been in broadcasting, has been a model
33:20
Speaker 1: for over twenty years. Julie is a physician's assistant and
33:24
Speaker 1: her husband is a well renowned cardiologist at UCLA. And
33:29
Speaker 1: one important thing that I just need to make sure
33:32
Speaker 1: that everyone understands is that Gene is claiming that this
33:35
Speaker 1: so called quote homicidal guardianship scam started in two thousand
33:40
Speaker 1: and seven when Casey signed that power of attorney or
33:44
Speaker 1: that durable power of attorney for healthcare. But the court
33:49
Speaker 1: didn't rely on that two thousand and seven power of attorney.
33:52
Speaker 1: It relied on the two eleven Advanced Healthcare Directive that
33:55
Speaker 1: Jane had Casey signed when he wasn't competent to do so,
34:00
Speaker 1: according to his good friends. And in that twenty eleven
34:04
Speaker 1: healthcare directive that Gene had him sign, it said that
34:09
Speaker 1: if extension of his life would result in a mere
34:13
Speaker 1: biological existence, and he wouldn't, it was essentially terminal. That
34:19
Speaker 1: he didn't want any artificial life sustaining procedures, including nutrition
34:25
Speaker 1: and hydration. That's from the terrible power of attorney that
34:29
Speaker 1: Jean had him signed. I want to go to Bethny Marshall, psychoanalyst,
34:33
Speaker 1: bethany way In. I mean this sounds like such, it's
34:38
Speaker 1: so much legal maneuvering. But when it boils down to it,
34:42
Speaker 1: when you hear Jeane talking about her husband, I mean
34:45
Speaker 1: I can tell she loved him. She loves him. Yes,
34:50
Speaker 1: I think that Casey Cason's body and health has become
34:54
Speaker 1: the battleground for a power struggle between the stepmother and
34:59
Speaker 1: the step children. And I think that's what's really happening.
35:02
Speaker 1: I think all this health stuff and all this wrongful
35:06
Speaker 1: deathlong lawsuit is a red herring, meaning it's an excuse.
35:10
Speaker 1: The fact is she was his wife for thirty four years.
35:15
Speaker 1: He loved her, he chose her. That's what we have
35:18
Speaker 1: to remember. No matter what the children think, their father
35:23
Speaker 1: chose Jeane to be his wife, and therefore their agreements
35:27
Speaker 1: and their love and their relationships supersede what's happening with
35:32
Speaker 1: the children. The children have their own lives, their own spouses,
35:35
Speaker 1: their own careers. And when one of the children said,
35:38
Speaker 1: we don't care about the money, I don't believe that,
35:41
Speaker 1: because we all care about money. You care about money.
35:44
Speaker 1: I care about money. Yes, it is salved in the
35:47
Speaker 1: wound when a parent dies and leaves everything to one
35:50
Speaker 1: person and doesn't distribute amongst the children and the grandchildren.
35:54
Speaker 1: I've seen this in so many cases in my practice.
35:58
Speaker 1: His decision the children. Right now, in another bizarre twist,
36:03
Speaker 1: Casey Kaysum's family feud is ongoing. His wife with me
36:07
Speaker 1: right now, Jeene Caseum and his adult children file wrongful
36:13
Speaker 1: death suits against each other in a battle for his fortune.
36:19
Speaker 1: And now, long after the death of the radio legend,
36:23
Speaker 1: his wife with us now reveals her version of what
36:27
Speaker 1: happened in Casey Casem's last days. We are learning that
36:33
Speaker 1: she blames his adult children for his passing. They blame her.
36:41
Speaker 1: I'm trying to understand how it should all work out
36:45
Speaker 1: to Jeane Casum. Was his will honored? Where did the
36:51
Speaker 1: bulk of his estate go upon his death? Well, remember Nancy,
36:56
Speaker 1: They kept saying that it wasn't about the money, but
36:59
Speaker 1: now they're about all the money. So we're in court, Alan,
37:05
Speaker 1: Do we know who was the main beneficiary of Casey
37:09
Speaker 1: Cason's estate, Well, of course the wife is. But there
37:13
Speaker 1: is money in there from what I understand, for the children,
37:17
Speaker 1: and that actually is being probated. Now, the very first
37:21
Speaker 1: probate hearing on Casey Caysum's last will and testament is
37:25
Speaker 1: the Casey Kasem case is in court right now today.
37:31
Speaker 1: This is happening now. Jane, you are saying that Casey's
37:36
Speaker 1: children carry Julian Michael, we're all after his money, and
37:40
Speaker 1: that eventually your husband cut them off financially. Is that correct,
37:46
Speaker 1: Gene case that is correct? What led him to do that? Well,
37:49
Speaker 1: they say that they're all financially stable, but we were
37:54
Speaker 1: issuing checks up until the year twenty twelve. I have
38:00
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of checks that total almost three million dollars. Okay,
38:08
Speaker 1: you know, Troy Selton, defense lawyer, friends with the children.
38:12
Speaker 1: You say they're all financially independent three million dollars. That
38:17
Speaker 1: that's not independent, Troy, If that's true, I don't know
38:20
Speaker 1: whether that's true or not, but I know that by
38:24
Speaker 1: two eleven his dear friend, who was thirty years in
38:30
Speaker 1: broadcasting less Martins and also an attorney, spoke to Casey
38:37
Speaker 1: regularly on the phone, and by two eleven knew that
38:42
Speaker 1: Casey was no longer able to recall common stories and
38:47
Speaker 1: adventures that they had had. And it's all going to
38:52
Speaker 1: come out in court. Well, this is what I understand, Troy.
38:55
Speaker 1: If it's not about the money, why are the children
38:57
Speaker 1: filing a wrongful death suit which is for money because
39:01
Speaker 1: they believe that their stepmother hastened and caused the death
39:10
Speaker 1: of their father. They're seeking, they're seeking, they're seeking justice. Well,
39:15
Speaker 1: wait a minute, let me understand this. Don't. Hospital records
39:17
Speaker 1: show that Casey Cason had a stage three ulcer and
39:22
Speaker 1: had suffered septic shock, respiratory failure, and a host of
39:27
Speaker 1: other ailments. I mean, it's really hard for me to
39:31
Speaker 1: believe that other than pulling the plug okay on his treatment,
39:39
Speaker 1: that anyone hastened it. And who did you say made
39:42
Speaker 1: the decision to pull the plug? Troy? That stage three
39:44
Speaker 1: ulcer nancy is a what's known as a bedstre and
39:48
Speaker 1: it was because he was not getting proper care when
39:52
Speaker 1: Jane took him out of that what was a convalescent
39:56
Speaker 1: hospital once she discovered that they had allowed the children
40:00
Speaker 1: to come in and visit with their father. Well, well, well,
40:04
Speaker 1: who ordered him to be taken off of his fluids
40:07
Speaker 1: and nutrition? Troy. Three doctors, an internist, hospitalist, and the daughter. Right,
40:13
Speaker 1: it was the daughter's decision to follow those doctor's orders.
40:16
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Yes, it was the daughter's decision, okay,
40:19
Speaker 1: because she was told that that. Yeah, I hear you.
40:24
Speaker 1: I hear you. I bet you. If you had talked
40:28
Speaker 1: to somebody, some to Gene Cason's doctors, they would have
40:32
Speaker 1: said something completely different. Joe Scott Morgan, death investigator. I'm
40:36
Speaker 1: very familiar with what Troyce Slayton just said. He called
40:40
Speaker 1: it a bedsord. Now they call it quote pressure points.
40:43
Speaker 1: You know, that's how Superman died Christopher Reeves. Okay, we
40:47
Speaker 1: all know that he was paralyzed after an riding accident
40:51
Speaker 1: with a horse. But when you lie in a bed,
40:54
Speaker 1: or you sit in a chair for twenty years, you
40:58
Speaker 1: can get moved and turned over and have those beds
41:01
Speaker 1: that inflate and deflate. But after twenty years you're going
41:06
Speaker 1: to get bed sores, all right, And if they're not
41:08
Speaker 1: attended to immediately, I mean sometimes within an hour or so,
41:12
Speaker 1: you get infections and it can turn into septic shock.
41:16
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm very familiar with it. Pressure points is
41:19
Speaker 1: just a print and perfume on the pig. What that
41:23
Speaker 1: is is a bed sore, and they're saying it was
41:26
Speaker 1: stage four ulcer. But in that care facility that Gene
41:29
Speaker 1: Casum took him out of, that's where he got that
41:32
Speaker 1: bedsor Joe Scott Morgan. Yeah, and bed sores are very
41:35
Speaker 1: common in patients that are in essentially in stasis, which
41:40
Speaker 1: means they can't they can't move around, they can't take
41:43
Speaker 1: care of themselves. And keep in mind, we've got all
41:46
Speaker 1: these other bodily functions that are going on, and so
41:49
Speaker 1: it's a very you know, a hospital and treatment facilities,
41:52
Speaker 1: there's some of the dirtiest places in the world that
41:55
Speaker 1: an individual can be and sometimes people get sicker when
41:58
Speaker 1: they're in there. Yeah. Yeah, I remember when my dad
42:00
Speaker 1: went with his first coronary thrombosis. I think it was
42:04
Speaker 1: four people died a septic shock on his wing. My
42:07
Speaker 1: mom got him out of that hospital in it And
42:09
Speaker 1: as we say a New York Minute to Gene Kayson,
42:12
Speaker 1: this is Casey's widow. They were married thirty four years. Gene,
42:18
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question, how did you meet
42:19
Speaker 1: Casey Kyson? We met in our agents. Was it love
42:23
Speaker 1: at first sight? Jeane, Yes, it was. I know a
42:26
Speaker 1: lot of people don't believe that, but it was, I
42:30
Speaker 1: believe it? And what happened after you met in an
42:33
Speaker 1: agent's office. Basically we dated every night for a year
42:36
Speaker 1: and got married a year to the date that we met.
42:39
Speaker 1: Do you remember your first date? Yes? I do. It
42:42
Speaker 1: was at the agent's Christmas party. Wow. I bet you
42:47
Speaker 1: can even remember what you were wearing? Yes? What was it?
42:50
Speaker 1: Just curious? Because I remember what I was wearing the
42:52
Speaker 1: first time I met my now husband David. Okay, I
42:56
Speaker 1: remember the whole thing like it happened yesterday. What were
42:59
Speaker 1: you wearing? Just curious lavender dress. What was your reaction
43:06
Speaker 1: when you found out his children had filed a wrongful
43:08
Speaker 1: death suit against you? I was surprised because they were
43:13
Speaker 1: the ones that took him to the hospital for a
43:15
Speaker 1: supposed independent medical evaluation. It was a ruse, of course,
43:22
Speaker 1: and they then kept him for an unauthorized overnight observation,
43:31
Speaker 1: and then they began to chemically restrain him and withdraw
43:36
Speaker 1: all of his hydration, nutrition and proactive medical care. And
43:42
Speaker 1: on a Friday evening, June six, with all courts closed,
43:47
Speaker 1: I received a call to come to the hospital, where
43:51
Speaker 1: I was told, along with our daughter Liberty, that they
43:56
Speaker 1: had already begun the process, and we didn't know what
44:00
Speaker 1: that meant. We thought it was a new kind of
44:03
Speaker 1: treatment until they sat us down and explained to us
44:08
Speaker 1: what was going to happen. We were allowed only five
44:13
Speaker 1: minutes each to see him. We went into the hospital room,
44:19
Speaker 1: and Nancy, I don't know if you experienced this with
44:23
Speaker 1: your husband or not, but you could be across the
44:26
Speaker 1: crowded room and you could know by the look on
44:30
Speaker 1: your spouse's face if they're panicked or in trouble, or
44:35
Speaker 1: what they're trying to say. And that was that look
44:40
Speaker 1: that I got. So I approached the bed and he
44:45
Speaker 1: grabbed on to liberty, and I and the nurse had
44:48
Speaker 1: to pry his fingers off one by one, and of
44:52
Speaker 1: course that's the moment where you say all the beautiful
44:58
Speaker 1: things that you're supposed to say to somebody that you love.
45:04
Speaker 1: And then they said that we had to leave the hospital,
45:08
Speaker 1: and so up I went to the door and I
45:14
Speaker 1: looked back at him, and he looked so scared and
45:18
Speaker 1: so panic that I rushed back in and I picked
45:22
Speaker 1: him up in my arms, and I told him that
45:27
Speaker 1: I had to go and I would be right outside
45:30
Speaker 1: the door. And then they escorted us out of the
45:34
Speaker 1: hospital down to down to the lobby and there was
45:42
Speaker 1: a chapel. Liberty and I and begged to go into
45:46
Speaker 1: the chapel just so we could sit and just us
45:51
Speaker 1: for I helped some good for people to just come
45:55
Speaker 1: to their sins. And then they told us that we
45:59
Speaker 1: had to leave the chapel and they escorted us out
46:03
Speaker 1: to the party flood and told us that we had
46:05
Speaker 1: to get off the property. That was the last time
46:09
Speaker 1: we ever saw him the life again. I immediately got
46:14
Speaker 1: a private plane and flew down to Los Angeles so
46:17
Speaker 1: I could confront Judge Daniel Murphy. I wanted him to
46:24
Speaker 1: see me, and I wanted to tell him that that
46:28
Speaker 1: was my husband of thirty four years and that when
46:32
Speaker 1: they picked him up for that's so cold, its abandoned
46:35
Speaker 1: medical evaluation. That that morning he was singing when he
46:42
Speaker 1: was being shaped, and he was singing to Liberty's music
46:47
Speaker 1: and he was happy, and that he did not want
46:51
Speaker 1: to go with her. He was fighting with the paramedics
46:53
Speaker 1: and he said, please, please, no, I don't want to go.
46:57
Speaker 1: I want to see you and my wife and my daughter.
47:02
Speaker 1: My daughter went into an acute asthmatic and the paramedics
47:06
Speaker 1: had to come from earth. The judge and ordered Jerry
47:12
Speaker 1: not to bring any press to our host's family home,
47:16
Speaker 1: and she came as usual with present home. And it
47:22
Speaker 1: was just a tautiful scene to see Casey fight like that.
47:29
Speaker 1: And then as they please let you go, and I
47:31
Speaker 1: don't want to go, and he said no, no, no,
47:35
Speaker 1: I don't want to go. They took him against his
47:40
Speaker 1: will for this so called independent medical evaluation, and then
47:47
Speaker 1: they devised another ruse to keep him for an overnight observation.
47:52
Speaker 1: The doctor cleared him on June first. On June second,
47:59
Speaker 1: we called his personal private physician, Donald Sharman, and I
48:05
Speaker 1: were called and we were told he was discharged. We
48:10
Speaker 1: went to court and the judge said that he could return,
48:14
Speaker 1: and they they never brought him back. They gave him
48:19
Speaker 1: enough staurant to kill an elephant. And he still thought
48:24
Speaker 1: because this man wanted to lose, never complained, he was
48:31
Speaker 1: never in any case. He His only regret is that
48:36
Speaker 1: he just had so much left to do. Gene Cason,
48:41
Speaker 1: thank you so much for sharing your story, and we
48:44
Speaker 1: wait as justice unfalse in a court of law. Nancy
