• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the drum driver hit the girls front side of the car.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: So it's a head on collision. It wasn't a head
• 5:46

• 5:51
  Speaker 1: car going this way and no, the car crashes in perpendicular.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I can see how that happened based on this photo.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's the whole front end of the car is smashed
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: all the way up to the driver's wind windshield. It's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody was even pulled out alive.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: At the get go guys, I'm looking at the sending
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Samantha off to prison party invitation. Have you seen the invitation?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Jacky Okay, Tyler Hunt again, I'm looking at this invitation
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: sending Samantha off to prison party at Rick's Tavern and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Grilled Fairfield, Ohio. Event by Cricket Cynthia and Samantha Harvey.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: She looks a lot different to here and her a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: push up bra and tank top as opposed to her
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: much shot. Let's start at the beginning, Tyler Hunt, what happened? Yeah,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: so this this party was put together, I guess by
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: friends of Samantha, and she seems to be listed as
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a host too. But it was going to be hosted away.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: She's throwing herself to prison party. It's unsure because she's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: listed as a host on the Facebook. I mean, Cheryl mccallim,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: let's talk. Let's just digress and talk about etiquette. You
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: don't throw yourself a wedding shower or a bridal shower,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: much less a quote off to prison party. So right there,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: she's it for herself. Well into this at all, Cheryl.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: There's seventeen going and twenty six is interested. Listen, this
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: is so vile and futred. What I think we should
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: look at is why aren't we, you know, doing sit
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: down dinners for pimps and rapists. Why aren't we having
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a day at the carnival for child the lesters? I mean,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: why are we just limiting this to drunk And when
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you said I'm embarrassed for Jackie here in the studio
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: because she actually laughs, she obviously doesn't know she should
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: be embarrassed for herself. So I'm embarrassed for her because
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at this picture of Samantha and her off
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to prison party pick and now I'm looking at a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: picture of these little girls in the hospital in a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: coma with a tube down their throats. But let's talk
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: about that, Nancy so vile and putrid. These babies have
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: gone through brain injuries, dozens of broken bones, collapsed lungs,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a lacerated kidney, spinal fractures. Both were put into induced
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: comas because they were so badly harmed. One child is
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: paralyzed for life. And you talk about every day that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: families got to redesign their house for accessibility, get different
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: vehicles for her. They're going to be own going medical
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: needs with both girls. This isn't ay, they're well, now
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: it's not. And this woman was fifty when this happened,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and she could have had a new bush. It could
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: have had a taxi, she could have walked, She could
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: have had one of her seventeen drunk friends come get her.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But she chose not to do that. She chose to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: get in that car and take the risk of killing
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: two people. And she damn near did time stories with
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. I'm reading a letter that the mom and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: dad sent me. They don't want to speak until after
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the sentencing on March the third. They say she was
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a star athlete, star student. Prior to the accident. She
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and is still confined
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to a wheelchair. She will never be the same, and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: doctors told us we will never have the quote old
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: kill a back. She has a long journey ahead, but
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: she's an amazing young lady and she's fighting hard every day.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: She's truly a miracle and the doctors are amazed by
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: her progress every day. Tell me to you, Joe Scott
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Morgan explain the injuries, and the mother goes on to state,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: there's not a comparison or similarity to the injuries our
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: daughter suffered and the injuries that Savannah suffered. Explained the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: injuries that kill A suffered. Please the injuries themselves, Nancy.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: This arises from from what we referred to is blunt
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: for trauma. And this happens inside this cab of this car,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and it's it's ken to being placed into a dryer,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: if you will, the largest dryer you can imagine, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the thing being turned on at high speed and you're
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: bouncing around, you're hitting every object in there, and even
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: even if you're restrained, you're going to sustain these massive fractures.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: We talked about the spinal injuries, also the closed head injuries,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and so what happens as a result of this. In
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: this poor child's case, she's got hemorrhaging that is taking
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: place everywhere, and most notably nancy within her skull. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that's you know, mac had mentioned just a moment ago
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: how she had to be placed into an induced comment.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The reason that, if you can imagine somebody celebrating this,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I just want to paint this picture for you. You've
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: got this young girl whose brain is literally swelling inside
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of her skull and there's nowhere for it to go.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So in order to keep her in a position and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: in an attitude so that she's not going to fight
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: against treatment, they have to place her own a ventilator,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and then an anathesiologist like you would see in a
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: surgery suite for all of our listeners that have ever
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: had surgery, anesthesiologist has to come in and place this
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: child into the deepest sleep you can imagine. And it's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not just you know, surgery. We might get surgery, it
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: might last two or three hours, or maybe in certain
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: cases twelve hours, but for her this might be permanent.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: This is a last resort event. They have to reduce
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: her heart rate down, her respiratory ratedown, and they have
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to maintain it for day after day after day while
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: they keep these tubes down her throat, while they potentially
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: have to put what are referred to as inner press
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: intercranial pressure monitors into her skull in order to maintain
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: that pressure, and then give her steroids and these other
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: drugs that were duced swelling. That's just a stabilizer. We're
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: not talking about any kind of surgery she has to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: have after this. This is a nightmare scenario, and it
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: makes me sick to my back teeth to hear that
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: this woman would actually beat her chest over this and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: celebrate what is happening to these children, you know, to you,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: doctor jen Man, first of all, in defense of Rick's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Tavern and Grill in Fairfield, Ohio. As soon as they
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: got notice what was going on, someone wrote them, please
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: tell me you're not allowing this to actually happen at
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: your establishment. They immediately blocked the party. They went to
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Facebook and they said, some of you have heard we're
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: having a going to prison party here for someone that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: caused an alcohol related accident and someone being permanently paralyzed.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: We do not condone it. Our hearts go out to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: those effect of the event is canceled. However, we are
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: currently looking into officers for holding a fundraiser to benefit
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the victims involved. Please keep these girls and their families
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: in your hearts and in your prayers. And I'd like
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to join their request to you today to keep the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: girls in your prayers. Their battle is far from over.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I want to go back to kill us aunt. It's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Christie Frakes and you can find them on goofundme dot
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: com under help the Nagle family and help the Shaluder family. Ma'am,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: please tell me the extent of your niece's injuries. So
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: it's pretty severe to in the hospital for a hundred
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and six days. She is combined to a wheelchair. She
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: does therapy several days a week, several hours physical therapy,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: speech therapy. The doctor say she'll never be the theme,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: so we don't know if she'll ever walk again. We
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: hope and we pray that she will. As many of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you know by now, Keil and Eagle was a passenger
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: in the car that was struck by a drunk driver.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: She suffered so many many injuries. The worst was the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: laceration the left side of her head requiring fifteen staples,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and traumatic brain injury. She remained unresponsive in a coma
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: for two months. When she began to emerge from the coma,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: doctors were amazed that she even woke up. We don't
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: now know now whether she will ever walk again. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: want to understand more about the perp. The perp driving
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: drunk that evening, The suspect, Samantha Harvey, is due to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: be sentenced in just days. To you, Cheryl McCollum, what
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: do you know about what happened that evening? It was
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: about three am and the girls were, you know, just
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: driving down the road, minding their own business, and out
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: of nowhere comes this car nearly t bones them. You know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much she had to drink. The perpetrator,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know where exactly she was coming from. I
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: know the barring question said they had nothing to do
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: with it. They worked for me with her before her
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: party invitation, but that was it. I mean, you've just
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: got another person that made the decision to drink, made
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the decision to drink too much and get behind the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: wheel of a car. And every decision the fifty year
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: old drunk may that day caused these two girls lives
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and their families lives to be altered forever. To Christy Franks,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: this is Kiela Nagel's aunt, Missus Franks. What do you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: know about her activity that evening? Had she been at
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: a bar? What do we know? I don't know much
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: about that activity. Honestly, we just have been focused on Kila.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I don't Honestly, I don't think it was a bar
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: because of COVID. I think the bars were shut down
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: at the time. Also amazing to me is that she
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: faces just seventy eight months behind bars. Do you, Tyler
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Hunt joining us from crime online dot com, what do
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: we know about her potential sentence? So, as you said,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: she's facing up to seventy eight months in jail. Her
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: sentencing hearing is next month's I scheduled from March third,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: so that will be the next time lead her an update,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And it was reported too that does she does have
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a lengthy past criminal history history which included drugging well intoxicated.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So I got Yould fact Room as well Crime stories
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace. You know, Cheryl McCollum, you know how
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: many hv's habitual violators I prosecuted over the ten years
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I slugged it out in inner city Atlanta felony courtrooms.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I can't even count them all. HV. Habitual violator means
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that you have at least more than one DUI driving
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: under the influence in your past. I mean after your
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: first one, your first two DUIs. What more do you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: need to know? You cannot drive and drink period, Nancy,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: This woman's been driving thirty five years. There's no telling
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: how many times she has driven drunk or impaired. And
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you know again her attitude. Do you think, well, she
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: played guilty, Maybe she has some remorse, Maybe she's taken
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: responsibility and then comes the party invitation, so she doesn't
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: realize it now maybe, but that judge is going to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: know what she did and that's going to factor in
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: how much time she gets. So you played yourself. The
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: other statistic, either Cheryl McCollum or Jess got Morgan will
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: now like the back of your hand, when someone has
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: caught dout. It's kind of like the statistics as they
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: relate to child molestation. When somebody's finally caught and prosecuted,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: there are many many times before that that they have
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: offended and not being caught. What are the stats on
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: that Cheryl McCollum, Nancy, I'll being off the top of
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: my head, I think for every one DUI, they've driven
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: drunk at least twenty times, fifty times. I mean, it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: ridiculous the number that they drive and are not caught.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: If you think about it, is the average person listening,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: think how many speeding tickets you have had and how
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: many times you actually were speeding Jess got Morgan. It
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: happens over and over and over, and many people still
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: refer to it as an accident. It is no accident.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Hold on, Joe Scott, I'm going to go to our
• 20:33

• 20:36
  Speaker 1: major case now lawyer at shell Nut Law Firm dot com.

• 20:48
  Speaker 1: a bar sturge drinking. How are you going to get home?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: You know you're not supposed to drive. You make the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: decision to get your keys out of your purse, pay

  Speaker 1: your bill, walk to your car, get in your car.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Unlike it, get in all of these take intent, is
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: my point. Shell Nut. Crate the car up, reverse out
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and start driving on the open road. All of that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: shows intent. Oh yeah, absolutely. And you know when you
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: look at the receptivism rates for DUI and you look
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: at people you know that have passed records like this,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I've done it. You know, it hovers around thirty percent,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: is what the receptivism rate is if a person's been
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: convicted of the UI before. So you look at that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: thirty percent of people and the numbers start to shoot
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: way up as to how many more DUIs that person
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: continues to get. And you look at the judgment that
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: this lady has, and this is the exact type of
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: poor judgment, having this going off to prison party that
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: caused her to get in this vehicle in the first place.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: And you know what these girls went throughout. Joe Scott
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: did a good job of point out the Indrews, and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: so did Cheryl. You know when you look at these
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: car with it cases, Nancy, we talk about violent crowns
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: all the time on the show, but a rious motor
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: vehicle accident is one of the most violent things that
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: can happen to a human being. If you've ever been
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: inside a car that has been catastrophically hit by another vehicle,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: catastrophically damaged. You know the violence that occurs to you
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: inside that vehicle, and it's heartbreaking to say someone who
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: has this type of history for two innocent people in
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: a violent car wreak like this, And you're right, it's
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: poor decision making. And she had every intent to get
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: in that car when she went in there, and she
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: deserves every day that this judge gives her. I'm just
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: surprised it's only seventy eight months. Guys, take a listen
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: to our cut four. This is Ashley Kirkland WLWT News five.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: As the Nagle family waits for Kayla to wake up,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: they want to send a message that they love and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: forgive Harvey. Savannah's brothers says he wants to see justice served.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: She's sixteen years old. She had her whole life out
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of issue. Who was playing lacrosse, She was an athlete,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: she ran track. We don't know if she'll be able
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: to do that. Devastating story for both of those families
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: and that community. Harvey has been charged with OVI and
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: aggravated vehicular assault. She does have a lengthy past criminal history,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: including driving while intoxicated. As for the two girls, they
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: both remain in ICU, and due to COVID nineteen, only
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: one person can be there with them at a time.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: What about it to you, You're the former president of
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: mad Georgia Mothers against Driving, Cheryl, there's nothing good. I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: think the focus should now be on the fundraiser. I
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: think that people need to remember what was taken from
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: these young ladies more than their injuries. You know, you
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: think this time of their life, you know prom and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: like he said, her spurts teens and her friends. I mean,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: they should be thinking about graduation or walking across that
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: stage and getting their college acceptance. They should not be
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: dealing with physical therapy and memory loss and bone healing.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: It's pathetic, beyond belief. I want to go back to
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: kill and Eagle's aunt Christie Frakes. Miss Frakes again, thank
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: you for being with us. Tell me how her family,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: her parents are holding up during this. It's the hardest
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: thing they've ever been through. I mean, their lives are
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: changed forever because on one person's decisions, poor decisions. Kaila
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: needs twenty four hour care, so my sister does not
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: work while she's taking care of her. She has not
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: worked since May. She can't work. She has to be
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: there with her. It's just you know, doctor's appointments, and
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: it's been a horrible, horrible, horrible time since Mary. We're blessed,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: but she's still with us. I don't know what else
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to say about it. It breaks my heart. I mean,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: seventy eight months in prisons were ruining not just one
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: person's life, but many, many people. What are the doctors
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: saying about her prognosis for Kayla? They, I mean the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: doctors from the hospitals said that she would never be
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: the same or they would never see who she was
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: before the accident with the athletics, and she played volleyball, basketball, lacrosse,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: star athlete and everything she did to where now she's
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: combined to a wheelchair. She can't walk on her own.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: She can't do a lot of things on her own
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: that she used to. She lost her independence. Take a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: listen to our friend and cut one Jessica Schmidt Fox
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: nineteen Now. They wrote messages of hope on every blue balloon.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: It's the ad would lacrosse team's way of showing love
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: for fellow teammates Kayla Nagle and Savannah Schluter. Savannah would
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: always like she had an attitude and it always like
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: really lightened up the mood during practice and stuff like that. Yeah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and then Kayla's just really like hard working. They were.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: They were like the last two members on the team,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I think, and I was really happy that they joined.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: The sophomore students are both hospitalized at UC Medical Center.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: They were seriously hurt in a two vehicle crash around
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: three this morning along Route four and Sims Road in Fairfield.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: The news came as a shock to their family members
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and classmates. Many of them came together to lean on
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: each other for a prayer service tonight. Doing this shows
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the community that we care for one of one another
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and to show the both of the families out we're
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: standing behind their backs. That must give the families a
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: lot of encouragement. These two Tang girls put in comas
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: from a drunk driver with a long history of drunk driving.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Savannah Schluder and Ella Nagel. We don't know if Keilla
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: will ever walk again after severe brain swelling from the incident,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Needing twenty four hour around the clock care. Her mom
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: leaving her job so she can care for her daughter.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Prime Stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, we were talking about
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a so called off to prison party arranged by quote
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: girlfriends of a long time drunk. There's really no other
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: way to put it. I'm talking about the defendant in
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: this case, fifty one year old Samantha Harvey, with a
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: lengthy criminal history, including multiple alcohol related offenses, joining me
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: an all star panel. You know, I just wish that somehow,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan I could wave a magic wand and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Kila Savannah I think is on the road to recovery.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Keela Nagel, just wish somehow we could will her. Well,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: what is this stumbling block? What happened to leave her
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: in a position where she needs twenty four hour care.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: She's not her same personality due to brain trauma. She
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: can't walk. What happened? Jo Scott, Well, you know, Nancy,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: let's let's kind of break this down very briefly here.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: With her ability to just basic motor functions, this sort
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of thing is going to be greatly compromised because of
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: the brain trauma that she sustained. And when I'm talking
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: about that, it's her ability to move her arms, her
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: ability to speak clearly, her ability to actually think clearly,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: or she might think clearly within her mind, but can
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: that be translated to the rest of her body. Now
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: she's also got a spinal injury as well, so this
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: is going to further incapacitate her, and her ability is
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: not This has nothing to do with her her cognitive
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: ability to think, But what it does impact is her
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: ability to walk. Now, I do see something hopeful here,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and that is they're attempting some stem cell therapy with her.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: And what this means is that if they can take
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: these these rooted cells, these these stem cells that they
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: can inject and use from a therapeutic standpoint, you might
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: have cellular regrowth and regeneration in the spine. And that's
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: hopeful in the sense that it could, as her aunt
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: was saying, just a moment ago, hopefully, prayerfully, this is
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: going to regenerate her ability to gain some of these
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: her mobility back. Again, I don't know so much about
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: her her ability, her cognition, her ability to think, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: as clearly as she would have prior to this horrible,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: horrible accident that we were talking about, because it is
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: out of you know, people think about blunt force trauma
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: as a mode of homicide, and you and I have
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: covered many cases where people have been beaten to death,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: but the number one killer relative to car accidents is
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: actually the mechanism of blunt force trauma. More people die
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: as a result of that because it is ultimately the
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: most violent thing that you can undergo, because your body's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: encased in this steel and you're traveling down at a
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: high rate of speed, and then when you meet another
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: vehicle and as traveling at I equally high rate of speed,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: it is absolutely catastropeic to anybody that's contained in those vehicles.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Take a listen to our cut six. This is Jessica
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Schmidt at Fox nineteen. It's been tough for Kayla's family
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: and friends since many of them are not allowed to
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: visit her because of COVID nineteen. Kayla's aunt says they
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: found other ways to stay connected, and we did a
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: FaceTime where we all prayed with her and prayed over her,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and she started moving her hands a little bit, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: that just touched my heart. As for Savannah, her father
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: says she's suffering from a bad concussion affecting her memory
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: and her balance, but she is out of the hospital.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Both families say they're beyond thankful for the community's kindness.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Thousands of dollars have poured in through online fundraisers. Her
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: parents are blown away at the support from the community.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: It has touched our hearts while Kayla continues down her
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: road to recovery her loved one. So her story will
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: serve as a reminder that it's never a good idea
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to drink and get behind the wheel. You really don't
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: want to see this tragedy happened to anybody else. Not
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: because of just the pain that Kaila is going through,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: or we don't even know what her future looks like,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: but just in general, let's protect our young ones. And
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I don't understand it because it happens over and over
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and over again. I want to go back out to
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Kila and Eagles Aunt Christie Frakes, Miss Frakes. What about
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: the other little girl we've been talking about Kiela, but
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Savannah Schaluder sixteen suffered traumatic brain injury as well. How
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: is her recovery? So she had as far as I know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: she had a concussion, she's recovered, she's you know, she's recovering,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I should say, you know, she gets staying out with
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: her friends and go to school. I don't know much
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: about Savannah, but we do know about Kila. Your niece
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: tell me about Kila's memory and is her personality the same?
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: So Keila doesn't remember a lot of stuff like from
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the accident or some things before the accident. Her personality,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I mean there's her personality is personally there. She can
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: definitely make you laugh like she used to. I was
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: just thinking about the prognosis about whether she will be
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: able to walk, but doctor seemed to keep saying she'll
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: never be the same again. Guys, I was telling you
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: that it's not the first time this has happened. Take
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: a listen to our cut thirteen chip yostat Ktla. James
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Albarez is still trying to reconcile how the love of
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: his life, twenty three year old you see, Diaguilar, was
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: taken away from him at such a momentous point in
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: their lives. This was just three months ago when at
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: a gender reveal party, the couple announced they were having
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a girl. The due date was September twentieth. As the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: date got closer, they started taking evening walks based on
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: the advice of their doctor, and it was on one
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: of those walks Tuesday evening when everything changed. Both hold
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: your hand, I was trying to pull her a wave
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: towards me. James and Yusenya were walking here on Katella
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: near Bayliss when a white jeep driven by a woman
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: suspected of being under the influence, jumped the curb and
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: hit Yusenya. The soon to be mother wouldn't survive, but
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: amazingly doctors did manage to save the baby inside her.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: The mommy senor Aguilar dead. Take a listen to our
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: cut twelve. This is Chris Holsham k CL nine. One
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: of the boys was pronounced dead on the scene. The
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: other died at the hospital. Police arrested seven year old
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Rebecca Grossman. We've learned she's a well known figure in
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the community. She even appeared on KCAL nine News at
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: noon last year to help raise funds for charity. It
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: really is, you know about collaborating. She's the founder and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: chair of the Grossman Burn Foundation. She's also been recognized
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: for her humanitarian work across the world. Now she's faced
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: with two counts of vehicular manslaughter. Authorities say she was
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: driving in her the influence. It's senseless because it could
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: have been avoided simply by using uper lyft even calling
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: a friend and now two mustlike families are going to
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: be affected by this for generations. Captain Vassah also told
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: me Grossman did not stay on the scene and was
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: arrested a quarter mile up the road. She was booked
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: on a two million dollar bail, and authorities believe there's
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: also a second vehicle involved. That's all part of this investigation.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Dui driving under the influence from Little Boy's dead to
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: pregnant moms walking along the sidewalk and mode day down
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: by drunk drivers. Cheryl McCollum, why are our laws structured
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the way that they are as a matter of fact,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: in this particular case where Keela Nagel and Savannah Shaluterer
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: were t boned and suffered horrific injuries. The max she's
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: looking at a seventy eight months as she the defendant
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: has a long history of alcohol related crimes. It's just maddening, Nancy.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And again, all the legislation, all the fights that have
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: come before, you know, lowering the blood alcohol to point eight,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: increasing having driver's license, have that staggered ability, so you're
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: not just putting a card at sixteen and you can go.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: You know, you've got that graduated license. There's so many
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: things we've tried to do to educate people. This crime
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: is one hundred percent preventable. And again now with uber
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and lyft, there's no excuse none. I don't care if
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: you're an alcoholic, you know you're an alcoholic. I've never
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: once met an alcoholic, it didn't know they were. I mean,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: you can you know pre plan to say, hey, I'm
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: going here, I'm gonna get dropped off and I'm gonna
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: get picked up. It's simple. And when you look at
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: six and a half years is all she's looking at.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: And if Kayla does not have good luck with sim therapy,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: then she's looking at a life sentence in that chair.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Guys that please go to go fund me if you
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: can find it in your heart, help the Nagle family,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Help the Saluterer family. This sentencing is scheduled for March three.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: We wait as justice un false Nancy Grace Crimes story
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: signing off, good bye friend
