- 2:24Speaker 2: Lisa Babin, who was unable to speak, was rushed to

- 2:43Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. I can't go to

- 2:49Speaker 2: he reportedly added, quote, I have to get rid of
- 2:52Speaker 2: the hammer and destroy the evidence before the police get here.
- 2:55Speaker 2: I don't want to end up on death row end quote.
- 2:58Speaker 2: His friend promptly alerted authorities. Upon arrival, Babin initially feigned ignorance,
- 3:05Speaker 2: telling police he had left his mom napping to run
- 3:07Speaker 2: an errand. He was swiftly arrested and booked into the
- 3:11Speaker 2: Harris County Jail. At his bond hearing, Babin's court appointed
- 3:15Speaker 2: attorney argued for a lower bond, citing his client's lack
- 3:18Speaker 2: of criminal history and describing him as a quote high
- 3:22Speaker 2: functioning person with autism end quote. Bond was set at
- 3:26Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Robert Babin faces up
- 3:30Speaker 2: to twenty years in prison. The motive remains under investigation. Nancy.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Thanks Jennifer More in Crime and Justice News after this.
- 3:44Speaker 2: File this one under I do not think so. A

- 3:56Speaker 2: knowledge after they had already broken up. Biston Marie Spearman,
- 4:01Speaker 2: thirty six, of Waco, now faces a felony stocking charge

- 4:09Speaker 2: man contacted Beverly Hills Police after finding a seemingly innocent
- 4:14Speaker 2: bath and Bodyworks gift bag left by his ex. Inside
- 4:18Speaker 2: a shocking revelation awaited a picture of Spearman holding what
- 4:22Speaker 2: appeared to be a marriage license showing them married and
- 4:27Speaker 2: officiated by a local reverend, alongside an actual copy of
- 4:31Speaker 2: a marriage certificate that had been officially filed with the
- 4:35Speaker 2: mcclennan County Clerk's office. Beverly Hills Police Chief Corey Martin
- 4:39Speaker 2: spoke to Fox forty four.
- 4:40Speaker 1: I don't think in twenty three years, I've ever heard
- 4:42Speaker 1: of anybody who managed somehow to get married to someone
- 4:47Speaker 1: who wasn't present for a ceremony.
- 4:50Speaker 2: According to police, the couple had indeed obtained a marriage

- 4:57Speaker 2: subsequently had a significant argument and broke off their relationship.

- 5:07Speaker 2: reverend to certify the victim and Kristen in the holy
- 5:11Speaker 2: union of matrimony without the knowledge of the victim and
- 5:14Speaker 2: his required presence end quote. This audacious act effectively married
- 5:19Speaker 2: the man without his consent or attendance. Spearman was arrested
- 5:23Speaker 2: at her home near Hewitt and booked into the mcclennan
- 5:26Speaker 2: County Jail, where she is being held under a ten
