Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: Amy Robach and TJ Holmes present Killer Thriller with your host,
- 0:10Speaker 1: Alisa Donovan.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Hey, everyone.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Alisa Donovan here from Killer Thriller. And today I am
- 0:18Speaker 1: joined by Jen Fessler from Killer Thriller Docu.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Hi, guys. Morning.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 0:26Speaker 1: So Jen and I have both been following the Lindsay
- 0:30Speaker 1: Clancy case, as everyone on the planet has as well,
- 0:34Speaker 1: since the mistrial. And so much has happened. And we
- 0:38Speaker 1: now know the jury was split 11 to 1. And
- 0:41Speaker 1: we're learning more about the loan holdout and the question
- 0:44Speaker 1: of whether Lindsay will face another trial is still up
- 0:47Speaker 1: in the air. There is a ton to talk about.
- 0:49Speaker 1: But obviously, we thought we... probably need to begin with
- 0:55Speaker 1: talking about Patrick Clancy being on 60 Minutes last night.
- 1:00Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on that?
- 1:05Speaker 3: I read a lot this morning about how people felt
- 1:07Speaker 3: like it was like 60 Minutes dropped the ball. It
- 1:10Speaker 3: was anticlimactic. And I personally don't know what people were expecting.
- 1:14Speaker 3: So I never suspected that he did it. I felt terrible,
- 1:19Speaker 3: as I know you did, that he had to even
- 1:22Speaker 3: go through what the filming of 60 minutes for what
- 1:26Speaker 3: reason I felt like I read a lot of criticism
- 1:30Speaker 3: of his wife, his now wife from bloggers who said
- 1:35Speaker 3: she's not good on TV. Like who gives a shit?
- 1:38Speaker 3: She's not good on TV. She's making fun of her.
- 1:41Speaker 3: I mean, this is a woman who met a man
- 1:44Speaker 3: in a running club and found out that his previous
- 1:49Speaker 3: wife strangled his three children. That's a lot to take on.
- 1:53Speaker 3: I mean, that's a lot of baggage. And this woman
- 1:56Speaker 3: who actually, I think, seems very lovely, loved him enough
- 2:01Speaker 3: to take that on and they're living their life. And
- 2:03Speaker 3: all I see is her and him getting slammed. I
- 2:06Speaker 3: don't get it.
- 2:07Speaker 1: I am so disgusted, outraged, disappointed, just that he had
- 2:16Speaker 1: to do this at all.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Yep.
- 2:18Speaker 2: This man has been through Unspeakable trauma. He has tried
- 2:26Speaker 2: to move on.
- 2:27Speaker 1: He's done all these things in honor of this loss
- 2:30Speaker 1: and has tried and has forgiven his wife.
- 2:34Speaker 2: Who are we to.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Be sitting here making these judgments on these people?
- 2:39Speaker 2: And I just can't understand.
- 2:41Speaker 1: I'm so disgusted that he had to do this at all.
- 2:45Speaker 2: This is the last thing that this man wants to do,
- 2:47Speaker 2: I am sure.
- 2:49Speaker 1: And so he has to explain himself because of all
- 2:52Speaker 1: of these internet people who sit behind their screen.
- 2:58Speaker 2: And some of them are well-known faces.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Decide to make. When they flash her face up there
- 3:05Speaker 3: in terms of people.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I'm sorry. This she, it is, it is a disgrace.
- 3:10Speaker 3: We're on the same page here because I am, I
- 3:12Speaker 3: am infuriated. Even, you know, he said he got to
- 3:15Speaker 3: New York. He went to say Patrick's cathedral.
- 3:17Speaker 1: My heart.
- 3:19Speaker 3: A religious man and a spiritual man. And he left...
- 3:23Speaker 3: And he was crying and no one noticed. So he
- 3:25Speaker 3: could have peace.
- 3:28Speaker 2: He could grieve in peace.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Awful, just awful. And he, you know, what I pick
- 3:33Speaker 3: up from him, I don't know how anyone would just,
- 3:35Speaker 3: he has a very, his affect is very sort of plain.
- 3:42Speaker 3: He doesn't, there's not a lot of highs and lows
- 3:43Speaker 3: to his voice. Right.
- 3:45Speaker 1: There's no, he's not a dynamic sort of personality.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Exactly. Doesn't bother me one bit. Yeah.
- 3:51Speaker 2: And like, he's supposed to be, you know, I'm just.
- 3:54Speaker 3: I don't think people judge on that. Like, because he,
- 3:57Speaker 3: his demeanor is, um, he's not a personality. Doesn't mean
- 4:02Speaker 3: because he's sort of flat in demeanor does not mean
- 4:04Speaker 3: that he killed his three children. It's, it's outrageous. I
- 4:08Speaker 3: find him sincere. I find him, um, sympathetic. You know, I,
- 4:15Speaker 3: I don't know. It's, it's tragic how, um, the internet
- 4:20Speaker 3: just plays these games, right?
- 4:22Speaker 4: Yes.
- 4:23Speaker 1: And I was very moved by him talking about, you know,
- 4:27Speaker 1: seeing all these headlines about Lindsay, baby murderer, and all
- 4:31Speaker 1: these horrible things.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And he just felt that they were wrong.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:36Speaker 1: The interviewer asked him if he asked Lindsay why she
- 4:39Speaker 1: did it, which is like a ridiculous question. And Pat
- 4:44Speaker 1: Clancy said he asked her if she remembered doing it.
- 4:48Speaker 1: And then she said it was like a dream. And
- 4:53Speaker 1: I feel like these are things that none of us
- 4:57Speaker 1: understand how we would respond if they were happening. And
- 4:59Speaker 1: then you're put under a microscope and everything. This is
- 5:03Speaker 1: why Amanda Knox, I loved her statement about this. She
- 5:06Speaker 1: really meticulously went through this and said how once the
- 5:12Speaker 1: court of public opinion decides that particularly with the internet now,
- 5:16Speaker 1: it's like, you can't, you can't get a leg up,
- 5:20Speaker 1: but you're climbing yourself out of a.
- 5:22Speaker 3: But you're already guilty. Right. You're guilty. And I think
- 5:26Speaker 3: that I don't, I really don't understand it. I know
- 5:28Speaker 3: people were, people were piecing together in my mind, evidence
- 5:32Speaker 3: that wasn't even really there.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Yes.
- 5:35Speaker 3: That's how they would, they sort of came to that conclusion. But,
- 5:39Speaker 3: you know, even when he was talking about holding, what
- 5:42Speaker 3: was the youngest one's name?
- 5:43Speaker 1: Callum. Calum, right?
- 5:46Speaker 3: Holding him in his last few days, how grateful he
- 5:48Speaker 3: was for that time. And he, it's just, he seems
- 5:54Speaker 3: to me, I mean, I don't know. I do actually
- 5:56Speaker 3: find him sympathetic. I've heard that too. I find him
- 6:00Speaker 3: just from his personality alone. He seems honest to me.
- 6:03Speaker 3: He seems so sad to me when he talked about,
- 6:07Speaker 3: you know, telling his new children about their brothers and sister.
- 6:11Speaker 3: This is... Everything about this story is unthinkable, horrific, tragic,
- 6:18Speaker 3: and it almost is so infuriating because it feels like
- 6:22Speaker 3: the pile on just makes it worse.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Yes.
- 6:25Speaker 3: You think it can't get any worse, right? His wife
- 6:28Speaker 3: strangled his three kids. How can it get worse than that, right?
- 6:32Speaker 3: And yet he's being accused of something he didn't do.
- 6:34Speaker 3: The whole thing is nauseating, upsetting.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I agree. Nauseating is a great word.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Yeah. And people, you know, said that they thought that
- 6:42Speaker 3: the interview, the interviewer was light, you know, lightweight. It felt,
- 6:46Speaker 3: I don't know. What more do you want?
- 6:47Speaker 2: What more do you want?
- 6:48Speaker 1: Exactly. In my opinion, this is one of the major
- 6:51Speaker 1: problems with our entire society right now. We have lost
- 6:55Speaker 1: the plot. We have lost the sense that these are
- 6:59Speaker 1: all human beings who have been through horrible things. And
- 7:05Speaker 1: to sit, someone who made a, A Bratz doll video reenactment?
- 7:10Speaker 2: What is wrong with these people?
- 7:11Speaker 3: I didn't see that. Are you serious?
- 7:12Speaker 2: Yes.
- 7:13Speaker 3: You don't have to share everything with me, Lisa. You
- 7:15Speaker 3: can keep saying it.
- 7:15Speaker 1: I didn't watch it. I didn't watch it. I read
- 7:18Speaker 1: about it. And I just thought we have completely lost
- 7:23Speaker 1: all sense of humanness and kindness and love.
- 7:26Speaker 2: What is going on?
- 7:28Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, and by the way, you guys, listeners,
- 7:30Speaker 3: I know, and at least I know you know, that
- 7:32Speaker 3: some of you will disagree with us.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I know. I know.
- 7:35Speaker 3: I still think he did it. It's not that I don't,
- 7:40Speaker 3: I respect that. You know, maybe you're seeing things that
- 7:43Speaker 3: I don't, but I know that Lisa and I are
- 7:46Speaker 3: watching you from a place of complete confidence that this
- 7:50Speaker 3: man had nothing to do with killing his children. Thank you.
- 7:53Speaker 1: It's a ludicrous idea.
- 7:56Speaker 3: That's how we feel.
- 8:00Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear how I feel.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Yes, me too. But no lack of respect for, you know,
- 8:04Speaker 3: if there are people out there that do believe that
- 8:06Speaker 3: he had something to do with it, I don't see it.
- 8:08Speaker 3: And then there's that whole line of thought that he
- 8:12Speaker 3: just didn't do enough, right? Forget about the fact whether
- 8:15Speaker 3: he did it or he didn't do it. He didn't
- 8:17Speaker 3: do enough. And I don't know. I don't really see
- 8:20Speaker 3: that either. I know.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Again, I think these commentaries are coming from people that
- 8:27Speaker 1: have never met this man. And I guarantee you, anyone,
- 8:31Speaker 1: I happen to know two people that do know this man.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 8:36Speaker 3: Yes.
- 8:38Speaker 1: And all they can say is a broken man who
- 8:43Speaker 1: is doing his best to honor, to survive, to move on,
- 8:48Speaker 1: to honor those children, to... to continue to, he talked
- 8:52Speaker 1: about feeling suicidal. Like, so, you know, I think what
- 8:56Speaker 1: people were looking for is some sort of, you know,
- 8:58Speaker 1: exploitative interview.
- 9:01Speaker 3: They were watching it. Like let's decide let's now, right.
- 9:04Speaker 1: It's just gross. I, I'm, I'm so, I just feel
- 9:09Speaker 1: for him. I want to say it again.
- 9:10Speaker 3: And again, the exact same way. I'm sorry, you guys,
- 9:13Speaker 3: this is not going to be one of those heated debates,
- 9:15Speaker 3: but that it's not. Yeah. It's, I don't know, my
- 9:22Speaker 3: heart aches for all of them. He didn't know anything
- 9:26Speaker 3: about postpartum. He said that. And we talked about this,
- 9:32Speaker 3: but I didn't have postpartum. And of course, I know
- 9:35Speaker 3: what it is. I didn't know the difference between depression
- 9:39Speaker 3: and psychosis.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Neither did I, yeah.
- 9:42Speaker 3: And neither, and this man didn't either. So You know,
- 9:46Speaker 3: to me, it seems like he described when she hadn't
- 9:49Speaker 3: gotten any sleep at all one night. And, you know,
- 9:51Speaker 3: he said, that's just horrible. Just go relax. I'll take
- 9:54Speaker 3: the kids. He wasn't a douchebag husband. Right.
- 9:58Speaker 1: And he's also not a psychotherapist or a doctor. He's
- 10:03Speaker 1: not trained to see those things. He was doing the
- 10:08Speaker 1: best he could with the information that he had.
- 10:12Speaker 2: It's really tragic.
- 10:15Speaker 1: So getting back to the where the case stands right now.
- 10:22Speaker 1: So everybody knows there is this, the one juror that
- 10:26Speaker 1: was the holdout and, you know, there's a lot, I'm so, again, Mike,
- 10:34Speaker 1: does this guy have to defend himself too? But now
- 10:37Speaker 1: all of these things are coming out that he was,
- 10:41Speaker 1: he had been arrested for, spousal abuse of some kind.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Now everybody's going to jump all over me. That's not
- 10:49Speaker 1: the right terminology. What was he, it was for something awful.
- 10:55Speaker 1: How's that?
- 10:56Speaker 3: Yes.
- 10:56Speaker 1: For physically hurting his wife. And then the nephew also,
- 11:02Speaker 1: you know, I'm so worried people get are really, you know,
- 11:05Speaker 1: in the weeds with the, the specifics. So I don't
- 11:08Speaker 1: want to say the wrong thing, but Right. There has
- 11:11Speaker 1: been a lot that has come up.
- 11:13Speaker 3: He wasn't going to, he really, maybe he wasn't eligible
- 11:16Speaker 3: and that.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Right.
- 11:17Speaker 3: That's a separate issue. Right. I don't, I don't know.
- 11:20Speaker 3: We don't know yet if that's true or not true,
- 11:22Speaker 3: but the fact that he's been, he has no anonymity anymore,
- 11:27Speaker 3: even though maybe his name wasn't said, he was outed
- 11:30Speaker 3: for all intents and purposes. So what is that saying?
- 11:34Speaker 3: I don't, you know, forget about him. I don't agree
- 11:37Speaker 3: with him, but now I, We can't do our civic
- 11:41Speaker 3: duty and sit on a jury and make these kinds
- 11:46Speaker 3: of decisions without thinking that they're going to affect our lives,
- 11:50Speaker 3: other people's opinions. You can't even be anonymous now on
- 11:52Speaker 3: a jury. I know. What is going on?
- 11:55Speaker 1: And the reality is this is the system that we
- 11:57Speaker 1: have in this country. So when we start mistrusting the system, yes,
- 12:03Speaker 1: it is imperfect and it fails often, but this is
- 12:07Speaker 1: what we have. So unless he lied on his forms,
- 12:13Speaker 1: which is entirely possible, I suppose, you know, we don't
- 12:18Speaker 1: know the specifics there, but he was put on the
- 12:22Speaker 1: jury and he is allowed to have his opinion.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's part of it. That is part
- 12:27Speaker 3: of the system, whether it's flawed or not. I mean,
- 12:29Speaker 3: the judge, I guess, has now sealed the juror's identities indefinitely, right?
- 12:36Speaker 3: Because of security concerns. I mean, I feel nervous to
- 12:39Speaker 3: be him and I feel nervous to be the other
- 12:42Speaker 3: jurors as well. This case is so, there's so much
- 12:48Speaker 3: passion and anger and division, right? It's just so more
- 12:53Speaker 3: division in our country as if that was possible.
- 12:56Speaker 1: As if that was possible. And it's become political. And
- 12:58Speaker 1: now I was just reading that Representative Nancy Mace has
- 13:03Speaker 1: called for Lindsay to be publicly executed.
- 13:07Speaker 2: What is going on? This is just outrageous.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Outrageous and depressing.
- 13:13Speaker 2: And depressing.
- 13:29Speaker 3: So now it's a mistrial. What do you think should
- 13:32Speaker 3: happen now?
- 13:32Speaker 1: So I do, once again, the superhero superstar, Kevin Reddington.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy's attorney, has asked for her to not be
- 13:42Speaker 1: put through another trial. And he, I believe, has requested
- 13:47Speaker 1: that she is found not guilty by the insanity, temporary
- 13:53Speaker 1: insanity plea, whatever it is. Again, don't get up in
- 13:56Speaker 1: my grill with the specifics. I'm not a lawyer, but
- 13:58Speaker 1: we all know what that is.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Don't get up in my grill.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Don't get up in my grill. So because he's saying
- 14:09Speaker 1: that the prosecution did not have enough evidence to prove
- 14:14Speaker 1: beyond a reasonable doubt, which is what the law says
- 14:18Speaker 1: they have to do. So I guess when they reconvene
- 14:21Speaker 1: on the 29th, which is supposed to be the day
- 14:25Speaker 1: where they will decide the date of the new trial,
- 14:27Speaker 1: I think they will also address whether they will have
- 14:31Speaker 1: a trial at all.
- 14:33Speaker 3: Do you hear that there is another mother who was
- 14:35Speaker 3: accused of killing her child and was reportedly obsessively following
- 14:40Speaker 3: Lindsay's trial? And I guess just hours beforehand tried to
- 14:47Speaker 3: claim psychosis. I guess she was going on trial and
- 14:49Speaker 3: is now trying to claim psychosis. psychosis. And the question is,
- 14:53Speaker 3: is that connection meaningful? Is that what's going to happen now?
- 14:56Speaker 3: Is this opening up the door for more women? And
- 14:59Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe more women should claim psychosis. Maybe
- 15:02Speaker 3: this is what's going on with women that actually kill
- 15:04Speaker 3: their children during that postpartum period of time.
- 15:09Speaker 1: I do think there is the positive that, which like,
- 15:13Speaker 1: that scares me what you just said, but Not that
- 15:18Speaker 1: maybe that is what's going on, but that someone could
- 15:21Speaker 1: perhaps exploit this for their own benefit. But there is,
- 15:25Speaker 1: I think, a positive, which is the case is already
- 15:29Speaker 1: influencing the conversation outside of the courtroom about postpartum care development.
- 15:35Speaker 1: And they have.
- 15:40Speaker 1: On September 15th, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey announced a proposal
- 15:44Speaker 1: to expand postpartum support in the state in the wake
- 15:47Speaker 1: of the trial. So I think that is something that
- 15:52Speaker 1: is vital and is a small positive, perhaps bigger, I
- 15:57Speaker 1: don't know. But at least it's something that can benefit
- 16:02Speaker 1: women in these experiences, like sending nurses to the home.
- 16:07Speaker 1: So that the husband doesn't have to try to diagnose
- 16:10Speaker 1: what's going on. I just think more support is not
- 16:14Speaker 1: a bad thing. Yeah.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Additional funding for maternal mental health programs.
- 16:19Speaker 1: All of that.
- 16:20Speaker 3: It's good stuff. All of that is. Lemonades in this huge,
- 16:26Speaker 3: ridiculous bucket of lemons, you know? And I don't know
- 16:31Speaker 3: how this is even how this gets. how does this
- 16:35Speaker 3: settle down? Right. So like, eventually we're going to know
- 16:38Speaker 3: what happens to Lindsay. We're going to find out either
- 16:40Speaker 3: that she's, you know, goes away from Santa. She's retried.
- 16:44Speaker 3: It's going to, and like everything else, again, it feels
- 16:46Speaker 3: like in this country, half the country will be unhappy
- 16:49Speaker 3: about it. Yeah.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:51Speaker 3: No matter what it is.
- 16:53Speaker 1: For sure. I did think it was interesting that the,
- 16:57Speaker 1: the jury initially, you know, when we say a hung jury,
- 17:01Speaker 1: I think, or I certainly think, always somewhat imagine it's
- 17:05Speaker 1: like 50-50, right? And that's not the case. It started
- 17:11Speaker 1: as eight, two, and two. So eight people thought she
- 17:14Speaker 1: was not guilty by reason of mental incapacity. Two thought
- 17:20Speaker 1: she was guilty, and two were undecided. But then by
- 17:23Speaker 1: the end, it did go to 11 to one, which
- 17:25Speaker 1: means that it seems like everyone was willing to listen
- 17:31Speaker 1: to others' opinions opinions and gather the facts. And just
- 17:37Speaker 1: the one juror is the one that would not.
- 17:40Speaker 3: No judge had actually removed that juror. Did I read that,
- 17:43Speaker 3: that it was possible for the judge to remove?
- 17:45Speaker 2: They were asking him to, and he wouldn't.
- 17:49Speaker 3: I mean, how do you, I guess he's, you know,
- 17:54Speaker 3: his opinion has to matter. That's how this works. Yes.
- 17:57Speaker 1: That's how this works.
- 17:58Speaker 3: Tried by judges. your peers and, and they go through
- 18:03Speaker 3: a process and hopefully they are fair minded, not biased.
- 18:09Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't know. At least this
- 18:14Speaker 3: whole thing is just, just sucks.
- 18:16Speaker 2: And it's so upsetting.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Really, really is just awful.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Um, I also think it's of note that the one juror,
- 18:27Speaker 1: at least in particular, um, she said, you know, the
- 18:30Speaker 1: most influential, some of the most influential testimony for her
- 18:33Speaker 1: was given by Patrick Clancy. And I think.
- 18:38Speaker 3: And the mother-in-law.
- 18:39Speaker 1: And the mother-in-law, right.
- 18:41Speaker 3: Right.
- 18:41Speaker 1: And, you know, if those two people, two of, you know,
- 18:44Speaker 1: arguably the most influenced by this, aside from Lindsay, is
- 18:51Speaker 1: if they are feeling like this woman was just not
- 18:55Speaker 1: okay and should not be held criminally responsible. Like who,
- 19:01Speaker 1: what are we even doing here?
- 19:03Speaker 3: I don't know. And I told you, this is not
- 19:05Speaker 3: me coming into this. Like, you know, she should be,
- 19:09Speaker 3: she was insane. She was, she had, I get it.
- 19:12Speaker 3: I really, really do. And I feel more than one
- 19:14Speaker 3: way about it. I'm going through psychosis and she didn't
- 19:18Speaker 3: know right from wrong, but I'm not here to say
- 19:22Speaker 3: she should, you know, go to get her, get mental
- 19:26Speaker 3: help and be released. Well, I don't know how I
- 19:31Speaker 3: feel about that. And again, for me, I can't get
- 19:36Speaker 3: rid of the picture in my head of those three
- 19:38Speaker 3: children and what she did. And I get that she
- 19:41Speaker 3: was in the middle of psychosis. But again, that opens
- 19:44Speaker 3: this other can of worms, right? A lot. Mental health
- 19:47Speaker 3: has a lot to do with criminality and what people
- 19:51Speaker 3: are capable of and what they've been through and what,
- 19:55Speaker 3: you know, that brings to, to the violence. And I
- 19:58Speaker 3: don't know, it's all very sticky.
- 20:00Speaker 1: It's very sticky. Yeah.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 20:04Speaker 1: I think maybe that is probably a lot of, of the,
- 20:09Speaker 1: the kind of fear or concern and in finding her
- 20:15Speaker 1: not guilty and putting her in a mental facility. And
- 20:20Speaker 1: then someone saying in three years, well, she's fine now.
- 20:25Speaker 1: And then, you know, letting her go. Like I do,
- 20:28Speaker 1: I do understand the concern of that.
- 20:30Speaker 3: We discussed that case.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Yes.
- 20:33Speaker 3: Sorry that I'm not going to remember.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Yeah. So the woman that was convicted and then was
- 20:38Speaker 1: released and did it again.
- 20:54Speaker 3: If I'm Lindsay Clancy, I don't know what I would
- 20:57Speaker 3: do if I was Lindsay Clancy, but I would want
- 21:00Speaker 3: to be taken care of with 24-7 mental health care
- 21:05Speaker 3: for the rest of my life. I don't know how
- 21:08Speaker 3: you heal from this.
- 21:09Speaker 1: I don't either.
- 21:10Speaker 3: There even is such a thing. Yeah, I don't know.
- 21:14Speaker 1: There's no, like we've said, there's just no happy ending
- 21:17Speaker 1: here for anyone really.
- 21:23Speaker 3: I don't know how much longer we're going to keep
- 21:27Speaker 3: discussing it. Maybe things will change now. There are other awful,
- 21:30Speaker 3: horrible things happening in this country. I don't know if
- 21:34Speaker 3: this is the time or place, but obviously you heard
- 21:37Speaker 3: about Presley Gerber.
- 21:42Speaker 1: I did, yeah. You know, I don't know if this
- 21:47Speaker 1: is the time or place either, but I do feel
- 21:50Speaker 1: like what I was most struck by, look, addiction is
- 21:56Speaker 1: a beast that very few of us can come out
- 22:02Speaker 1: the other side of.
- 22:05Speaker 4: But that aside, I was so struck by, I read
- 22:10Speaker 4: that he had posted things about the various medications and
- 22:16Speaker 4: things he was taking.
- 22:17Speaker 1: And I feel like, again, what's going on here? Like,
- 22:22Speaker 1: shouldn't that, that like, why, why wasn't, why is that allowed?
- 22:26Speaker 1: First of all, why isn't that when things are getting
- 22:31Speaker 1: shut down? Because, uh, I mean, I'm, I could go
- 22:34Speaker 1: down a real rabbit hole with this, but I have
- 22:36Speaker 1: friends who have had posts, you know, um, uh, taken
- 22:41Speaker 1: down by various social media entities because it's showing like
- 22:47Speaker 1: an overweight person in a bathing suit. you know, or
- 22:51Speaker 1: something where you're like, okay, so that's not okay for
- 22:55Speaker 1: us to look at, but a person who is quite literally,
- 22:59Speaker 1: it makes me think of Aaron Carter, like their demise.
- 23:02Speaker 1: We are watching it. Perez Hilton, like all of these things.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Why are we allowed to see this? Like, why are
- 23:09Speaker 1: people allowed to post these things? Like what is going on?
- 23:13Speaker 3: And, and, Also, nothing is just sad anymore. Everything, I
- 23:18Speaker 3: don't know what's going to happen with this. I just,
- 23:20Speaker 3: my heart, and I know yours too, and our prayers.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Go out to those parents and his sister.
- 23:26Speaker 3: I just like, because I know that everybody's going to say, well,
- 23:29Speaker 3: how does someone, because he passed in rehab, how does.
- 23:32Speaker 1: That, right?
- 23:34Speaker 3: I'm not going to add to the speculation just happened.
- 23:39Speaker 3: But anyway, my guess is it's going to get, it's
- 23:43Speaker 3: going to blow up in its own way. Yeah. Do now.
- 23:47Speaker 2: It's just, it's heartbreaking.
- 23:49Speaker 1: It, it, it really is. And I think another part
- 23:52Speaker 1: of that is for all of us to understand that,
- 23:56Speaker 1: you know, I think we put celebrity on this pedestal
- 24:02Speaker 1: and also then assume that when you have all the
- 24:09Speaker 1: resources in the world, your life is perfect. And like,
- 24:13Speaker 1: that is simply not the reality.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Nobody gets away. It's just got to go on the journey.
- 24:20Speaker 3: I think, I don't know. That's just part of it. Wow.
- 24:22Speaker 3: We are really like, we've lost the plot a little bit.
- 24:25Speaker 2: We have, sorry.
- 24:26Speaker 1: Okay. Let's get back on.
- 24:28Speaker 3: But I will say that. So the case is back
- 24:30Speaker 3: in court, September 29th, you guys. So I guess that's
- 24:34Speaker 3: the date that they're going to address, whether there's going
- 24:37Speaker 3: to be a new trial and asked the judge to
- 24:40Speaker 3: consider the his motion for finding of not guilty as
- 24:44Speaker 3: well at that point. So I can't imagine what's going
- 24:47Speaker 3: to happen between now and the 29th. Today is the 21st. Yeah.
- 24:51Speaker 1: What do you think? Do you, do you think there
- 24:53Speaker 1: should be another trial or do you hope there will be,
- 24:55Speaker 1: or what do you don't?
- 24:58Speaker 3: I don't think there should be. And I hope that
- 25:01Speaker 3: there won't be. And I hope that she is, I
- 25:06Speaker 3: hope she, she's found insane. And, but I hope that
- 25:12Speaker 3: she's also, I think what I hope is that, you know,
- 25:16Speaker 3: she's just taking care of away for the rest of
- 25:19Speaker 3: her life. I don't know that I would be back
- 25:23Speaker 3: on the streets in three years. So that's, but again,
- 25:28Speaker 3: I have different ways of feeling about the whole thing.
- 25:31Speaker 3: Like everyone else does, you know, I want justice for
- 25:34Speaker 3: those children. Yeah. And I don't think she was in
- 25:38Speaker 3: her right mind.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Right.
- 25:41Speaker 3: So what do you want in the end?
- 25:43Speaker 1: I know I feel pretty much the same as you do. I,
- 25:48Speaker 1: you know, I don't see how another trial can benefit
- 25:52Speaker 1: anyone and find justice. That's the point, right? What is justice?
- 26:00Speaker 1: But I don't, I just don't, I don't, I don't
- 26:05Speaker 1: think it's will be useful.
- 26:07Speaker 3: So listen, I'm, Very glad we hopped on after 60 minutes.
- 26:11Speaker 3: Me too. I'm reading a lot about what people have
- 26:14Speaker 3: been saying about it.
- 26:15Speaker 1: What's that?
- 26:15Speaker 3: It just happened. But have you been reading yet what
- 26:18Speaker 3: people have been saying about it?
- 26:19Speaker 2: About the interview?
- 26:19Speaker 1: About 60 minutes? No, but I'm guessing it's that people
- 26:25Speaker 1: are bummed out that it wasn't some sort of a fireworks,
- 26:29Speaker 1: you know, burn the house down interview. Right.
- 26:34Speaker 2: You know, to me, again, it just felt like.
- 26:38Speaker 1: It was... so sad to me because I just saw
- 26:41Speaker 1: a person who was forced to do this. Like this
- 26:46Speaker 1: is the right thing for me to do so that
- 26:48Speaker 1: people will leave me alone. I mean, it's like, it's, I,
- 26:54Speaker 1: it's just, I mean, talk about adding insult to injury.
- 26:57Speaker 3: He is probably so self-conscious just when he goes out
- 27:01Speaker 3: to dinner.
- 27:02Speaker 1: Sure.
- 27:03Speaker 3: One thing when the case was in Massachusetts and I mean,
- 27:05Speaker 3: people knew about it obviously, but it wasn't like this.
- 27:08Speaker 3: And now he can't, I can't imagine he can really
- 27:10Speaker 3: hide even in New York City. Anyway, I'm really, really
- 27:13Speaker 3: happy that we're on the same page about it.
- 27:15Speaker 1: I know.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Look at that.
- 27:16Speaker 3: We are. Sorry for you guys.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Well, yeah. It's like we just, I don't, it's the
- 27:23Speaker 1: human suffering is just, it's enormous. And I just hate
- 27:31Speaker 1: to see, you know, I don't know what the solution
- 27:34Speaker 1: is here.
- 27:35Speaker 3: I don't. All right. Well, listen, if there is a
- 27:38Speaker 3: new trial, you guys know that you're killer thriller girls. Gosh,
- 27:42Speaker 3: we'll be back right here to cover it. Not that
- 27:45Speaker 3: we're wishing for that, but, um, but we will hear you. Yeah.
- 27:51Speaker 3: We'll talk about it. So guys, thank you so much
- 27:53Speaker 3: for joining us today.
