  Speaker 1: I admonished you here before the top of the hour,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I will do so again. I'm rating today's show PG.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Thirteen not because I'm vulgar or nasty or anything like that.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I have to talk about something, and I mean, that's
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: something that is in the news that I just I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: don't know as a dad, as a granddad, I just
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: there are some things the little kids don't need to hear.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: They don't need to go to bed and have dreams.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And so if you are in the car with him
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: right now, I'll, you know, flip over to the All
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Barney Music channel or something because I need to do this.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I'll give you five four three two one. Okay, This
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: dirt ball, this waste of airspace, is in prison for
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: killing a child, a five year old child, after volunteering
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to babysit her. I don't know what relationship he had
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: with her parents, or her parent or or whoever. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: have no idea, but somehow, some way he had managed
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to maneuver his way into their life and volunteer to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: babysit this child. This was nineteen ninety three and what
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: happened afterward is sickening, to say the least. Rod welts
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Mus Kingham County Prosecutor is more than a prosecutor. He
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: is a man of not only law and order, but
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: justice and common sense. I want to get him on
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the line right now, welcome him to the Legacy Retirement
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Group dot com phone lines. Ron. Thank you first of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: all for spearheading this effort to keep this garbage behind bars.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: But you're going to need a lot of backup on this.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It has been a process that our office has
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: been involved in for quite some time. And quite frankly,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: this individual, Billy Shaffer, is a monster. He is what
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: evil looks like in human form. He was a friend
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of the family who worked his way into a position
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: of trust babysitting Sarah and her brother, and during that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: time he decided he had often thought about what it'd
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: be like to kill somebody, so he murdered Sarah and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: then mutilated and took advantage of her body.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: How do you only he admitted doing this? First of all,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: this wasn't a matter of even you know, having to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: prove anything. He admitted this. How do you only get
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: twenty years to life? I mean, it should be one
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hundred years to life for something so heinous, for taking
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a five year old child's life bullet to the head
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and then dismembered her. How does anybody think after twenty
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: years some garbage like that is going to be reformed
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and she should be returned to society. I don't even
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: understand that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Well, Unfortunately, what has happened between the time that occurred
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and today is that we as a society, and particularly
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a number of lawmakers, have decided that everybody deserves a
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: second chance. And when he was originally sentenced, he was
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: sentenced to serve life, but because he was a juvenile
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: in Ohio rescinded that law. He was then made eligible
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to have prole hearing every five years. So that is
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: how it goes from him serving life and a family
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: being told he'll never see the light of day outside
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: of a prison and not to worry about it, to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: us having to sit down with family and explain that
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: because we have a number of spineless lawmakers and social advocates,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: that this horrible piece of human flesh gets an opportunity
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to walk free amongst normal people. Again.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: There you know, the whole idea of everybody deserving a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: second chance. I'm gonna I'm gonna have to answer that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: with this. No they don't, No, they don't look as
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a teenager. This dirt was dreaming of taking a life.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Do you do you honestly not expect him to get
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: out and do it again. Of course he will. This
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: is the kind of This is the kind of monster
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that kills little animals for the pleasure of it. This
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: is the kind of dirt that grows up to become
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the Jeffrey Dahmers of the world. This is what we're
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: supposed to keep in prison, not release back into society.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you, ron I. When I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: saw this story, Jesse sent me the email from your office,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and I was immediately angry, but I I had to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: think for a few minutes before I said, yeah, I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: want to talk to him about this because I the pain,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: even after all of these years that this little girl's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: family has to every time they hear the story, see
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: her picture. They're going through all of this again knowing
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that there is a possibility, albeit hopefully a small possibility,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: there is a possibility that this creature gets out and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: their daughter remains gone. And I just I didn't I
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't sure I wanted to bring that pain to the airwaves.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I just I don't want to be responsible for any
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: more tears for that family.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: We went through the same discussion with the mom because
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: typically we would not detail the nature of what happened
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: as thoroughly as we did, because people can live in
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a bubble. They don't need to live in a scum bubble,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: which is oftentimes what we as prosecutors and our law
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: enforcement do is that we're around the worst of the
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: worst and we see the worst that people have to offer.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Not everyone has to see that, but in this situation,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: there are people that are they are appointed individuals, they're
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: not elected. They're appointed to the pro board and they
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: make this decision and there's not voter accountability. So when
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: we have an opportunity to look at the statue and say,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you know, our community has a right to have input
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and our community. It's not just mus Kingham County, it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the entire state of Ohio, it's the entire United States.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Because if he walks out of a prison, we can
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: move anywhere he wants, provided its approved. And I just
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the question, you know that I always want to ask
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: somebody when they're getting ready to make this decision, is
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: would you want Billy Schaffer as your neighbor? Because if
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you do, you shouldn't be making these decisions.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think i'd want him that. I don't want
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: him period, I seriously, I mean, it's hard for me
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to even picture somebody like this existing because I do
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: not I do not want to believe in such evil.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But I know it's there. I know it's there. We
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: used to be able to turn our heads and not
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: see it. Prisons used to in prison criminals and mental
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: institutions used to to take the mentally ill off of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: our streets. Instead of having in line behind us at
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the grocery store. We we for some reason, we became
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: so stupid and disguised it as benevolent as to let
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: these people out and talk about their second chances and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: their rights. And it's sickening. To me that we're even
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: having this conversation. But again, the dirt bag has a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: parole hearing coming up this month. It is this month, Ron,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna post on every social media I've got. I'm
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: gonna ask the station to, you know, make sure this
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: story is on the station resources as well for the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: link to this petition. How many people in the state
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of Ohio is it going to take to make you know?
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Ms Walker, mister Herron, mss Hoying, mister Holmes, and mister
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Brumfield stand up take notice that the people of Ohio
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: want this guy behind bars for the rest of his life.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: We would like to hope that it would be one
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: which would be Sarah's mother, but unfortunately, our office does
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: not like to leave anything the chance. We like to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: make certain that we've done everything we possibly can to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: make sure that the justice has served for everyone, even
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: thirty years, forty years, fifty years, however long I'm doing
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: this job and the next prosecutor is doing this job.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I want to make certain that the Billy Shaffer's last
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: breath is taken in a prison.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get all of this up tonight. I'm
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: going to put the link to the petition on your website,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and again I commend you all the time for prosecuting
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: bad guys where you know. Here in Franklin County, I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: feel like we fall on our face so very often,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: which is a shame since we, you know, houses the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: capital of the state. You seem to be much more aggressive,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: much more diligent in trying to get justice for the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: good citizens, and I appreciate you for that, But I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: don't believe that I've ever seen someone in an elected
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: capacity like you spearhead and effort and say, I'm putting
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: this petition out there. We've got to gather signatures, We've
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: got to get justice, We've got to keep him in jail.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of political risk you are running,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but God bless you and thank you as somebody who
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: if I have to move to Misskingham County to vote
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: for you, I will because we need more like you.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I appreciate there's words and you know, justice outwighs personal risk.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Is you mentioned her mom, I'm just I'll ask, very vaguely,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is is she wathering? Is okay? I mean you can
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: only go so far with the with the term okay
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in a situation like this, but is uh is the
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: brief minimal.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she recognizes why we need to put out the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: information and the details that we do so. She has
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: not lost sight of the fact that she is still
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: a champion of justice for Sarah.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Although it disgusts me to say his name, you will
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: need his name in case you do any Google searching
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in the like Billy Schaeffer, s H A F. E. R.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Garbage needs to stay locked up. Get on my Facebook page,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Give me till I get off the air at at
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: seven tonight, give me till about eight o'clock to get
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to the house. Get online and post this. But I'm
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: going to post every possible link to make sure that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you have what you need to get involved and you
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: put your signature on this online petition and do what
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: we can to keep him locked away and away from
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the rest of us, because you know, God forbid, it
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: could be anybody's kid, anybody's grandkid, anybody when something like
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: this is on the streets, and when we know what
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you are, we've seen what you are. For us to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: allow any entity to put you back among us would
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: just be stupid, absolutely stupid. Ron Anything that you need
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to add, you need to say, make sure it gets
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: out there before I say goodbye to you this afternoon.

• 11:37
  Speaker 2: community support and taking an active role and making sure
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: that there's justice for Sarah.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, Thank you, and please keep me updated.
