- 0:13Speaker 2: when she is fatally stabbed by a convict, of course,

- 0:22Speaker 1: Good evening, I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. I

- 0:27Speaker 3: At just twenty three years old, refugee Arena Zaritska leaves
- 0:31Speaker 3: everything behind to start a new life in the United
- 0:33Speaker 3: States with her family. She dives right in, making friends,
- 0:37Speaker 3: taking care of her neighbors, and exploring new places. Her
- 0:40Speaker 3: future seems bright, but the American dream isn't as promising
- 0:44Speaker 3: as she hoped.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Just shaking us to the core that this beautiful young
- 0:53Speaker 2: girl leaves Ukraine to come here, to chase the American
- 1:00Speaker 2: to leave the violence, the poverty.
- 1:04Speaker 1: The war torn drama.
- 1:07Speaker 2: In Ukraine as she makes it her dream comes true.
- 1:10Speaker 2: She comes to the US only to be stabbed dead
- 1:16Speaker 2: on public transportation by a guy with arrest now bordering
- 1:24Speaker 2: on twenty ars fourteen, that we know. Look at her,
- 1:29Speaker 2: she's minding her own business. Oh dear, this is the guy.
- 1:35Speaker 2: And these are just a few of the photos. Let
- 1:39Speaker 2: me say the photos.
- 1:41Speaker 1: I have of him.
- 1:42Speaker 2: There are so many more. Why did Erna have to die?
- 1:49Speaker 2: This is causing reverberations all the way to DC.
- 1:54Speaker 4: Listen.
- 1:55Speaker 5: On August twenty second, Arena Zarutsko was stabbed to death
- 1:59Speaker 5: on the rail system in Charlotte, North Carolina by a
- 2:02Speaker 5: savage career criminal. This is a public transportation system that
- 2:07Speaker 5: many in the area use every single day to go to.
- 2:10Speaker 1: School and work.
- 2:11Speaker 5: Arena was on the train that night, traveling home from
- 2:14Speaker 5: her job at a pizzeria, still in uniform from her shift.
- 2:18Speaker 5: This beautiful, innocent, twenty three year old young woman was
- 2:21Speaker 5: a Ukrainian refugee who had recently fled her country for
- 2:25Speaker 5: a chance at a safer life and a promising new
- 2:28Speaker 5: beginning here in the United States of America.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Irena is traveling on the East West Boulevard light rail
- 2:34Speaker 3: station Charlotte, North Carolina, headed home after working at a
- 2:37Speaker 3: local pizza restaurant. Irena is by herself as she takes
- 2:40Speaker 3: a seat and is on her phone listening with earbuds.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Sitting directly behind Irena is a thirty four year old
- 2:45Speaker 3: de Carlos Brown. The ride is uneventful until Brown stands
- 2:48Speaker 3: up and without warning, stabs Irena in the neck. Brown
- 2:51Speaker 3: then walks away as Irena grabs her neck trying to
- 2:54Speaker 3: stop the flow of blood.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Just such a blow to the us.
- 3:01Speaker 2: That original sound from Caroline eleven at the White House
- 3:04Speaker 2: Press Secretary, from our friends at Fox that this young
- 3:08Speaker 2: girl leaves behind a war torn zone to seek the
- 3:14Speaker 2: American dream and then get stabbed dead on the train
- 3:20Speaker 2: by a guy who's now saying it.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Was because she was Russian.
- 3:24Speaker 2: What wait a minute, how did he know about her accent?
- 3:28Speaker 2: Had he been stalking her? Did he know enough to
- 3:33Speaker 2: hear her speak claiming she was Russian?
- 3:37Speaker 1: So he stabbed her dead?
- 3:41Speaker 2: Joining me an all star panel to make sense of
- 3:43Speaker 2: what we know right now?
- 3:45Speaker 3: But listen, Passengers aboard the train look on as Arena
- 3:49Speaker 3: bleeds out in front of them. As the suspect walks away,
- 3:52Speaker 3: nobody confronts him. Blood is dripping on the floor from
- 3:55Speaker 3: the knife and from Arena, but nobody offers her any help. Instead,
- 4:00Speaker 3: some of the passengers on the train use their phones
- 4:02Speaker 3: to video what is taking place. One of the passengers
- 4:04Speaker 3: called nine one one.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Oh my stars. The girl is lying on the floor
- 4:10Speaker 4: bleeding out.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Look at these people videoing her. What a butch of
- 4:16Speaker 2: blood sucking.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Gules look at that. Who are these people?
- 4:21Speaker 2: No one helping her as she bleeds out on the floor.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Instead they video her. Okay, that's a whole.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Other can of worms. These people are.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Gules, gules straight out of hell. To Lauren Colin, joining
- 4:38Speaker 2: US investigative reporter co host Pop Crime TV, Lauren, I
- 4:43Speaker 2: want to circle back to what happened.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Let's start at the beginning.
- 4:46Speaker 4: What do we know?
- 4:48Speaker 6: Yes, Arena was leading her job at the pizza place
- 4:52Speaker 6: where she worked and listen, Nancy, she did everything right.
- 4:55Speaker 6: She came to the United States in twenty twenty two,
- 4:58Speaker 6: she got her work with and she was working multiple jobs,
- 5:02Speaker 6: one at the pizza place, one at an assisted living facility,
- 5:05Speaker 6: and she was also helping animals, neighborhood animals who needed care.
- 5:10Speaker 6: So Arena boarded this light rail that she took very
- 5:14Speaker 6: frequently to go to and from work. So she boarded
- 5:17Speaker 6: the train around nine forty six pm on August twenty second,
- 5:22Speaker 6: twenty twenty five, and unfortunately she sat directly in front
- 5:26Speaker 6: of the Carlos Brown Junior and we've seen the footy.
- 5:31Speaker 6: About four minutes later after she boarded, that's when he
- 5:36Speaker 6: got up and he subsequently stabbed her three times. And
- 5:41Speaker 6: as you mentioned earlier, and this is what the most
- 5:46Speaker 6: troubling thing is, I think about the whole thing. I mean,
- 5:48Speaker 6: obviously the stabbing is just terrible, but it took two
- 5:54Speaker 6: full minutes for bystanders to attempt to render aid, two
- 6:00Speaker 6: full minutes.
- 6:01Speaker 7: Now I don't know if she would.
- 6:02Speaker 2: And most of them just stood around videoing her. Only
- 6:06Speaker 2: I believe one guy tried to really help her and
- 6:09Speaker 2: staunch the flow of blood. Everybody else just kept videoing her.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Look at these people? What is wrong with them? And
- 6:19Speaker 2: I want to go to jos Scott Morgan joining me
- 6:21Speaker 2: right now, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University, author of Blood
- 6:25Speaker 2: Beneath My Feet, host of Body Bags with Joe Scott
- 6:28Speaker 2: Mortigan is a hit podcast series, but he most importantly
- 6:32Speaker 2: is a death investigator who has literally investigated thousands of
- 6:37Speaker 2: death scenes, be they accidental, undetermined suicide, homicide.
- 6:44Speaker 4: Joe Scott, thank you for being with us.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Explain to me how she bled out so quickly on
- 6:50Speaker 2: the floor of that train.
- 6:53Speaker 8: Well, she's in our neck. We have this massive structure
- 6:57Speaker 8: of vessels, both veins and artery that are running through here. Remember,
- 7:02Speaker 8: we have to have supply for our brain, it's the
- 7:04Speaker 8: most vascular organ in the body. So it's a tremendous
- 7:07Speaker 8: amount of blood going upward eclipse these vessels. It's probably
- 7:12Speaker 8: the internal jugular, probably the carotid, and there's even facial
- 7:17Speaker 8: arteries that run up here to supply our face with blood.
- 7:19Speaker 8: If you're going to clip somebody with an edged weapon
- 7:23Speaker 8: wanting to bring about their death, this is the number
- 7:26Speaker 8: one spot to go through or to go to, you know,
- 7:30Speaker 8: And there's throughout history there have been attacks where people
- 7:33Speaker 8: have had their throats cut. This is very similar to that, Nancy.
- 7:37Speaker 8: I think that this is evidence certainly of intent to
- 7:41Speaker 8: do grievous bodily harm. As matter of fact, bringing about
- 7:44Speaker 8: the young woman's death just.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Got a She lay there on the floor, the floor
- 7:52Speaker 2: of a public rapid transit train. Ye, how long did
- 7:57Speaker 2: it take her to die? She know what was happening.
- 8:01Speaker 4: I mean, clearly.
- 8:03Speaker 2: She's cognizant because she shrinks in and looks around. She
- 8:07Speaker 2: did not die immediately, she suffered.
- 8:09Speaker 8: No, she didn't die immediately. However, the death would have
- 8:14Speaker 8: followed first first unconsciousness because the brain is not being
- 8:19Speaker 8: obstgenated at that point in time. The blood that she
- 8:23Speaker 8: had remaining is the only thing keeping her alive. There's
- 8:27Speaker 8: no way to stem this, Nancy. If you look at
- 8:29Speaker 8: the blood deposition just on the floor, you can even
- 8:32Speaker 8: see it in that still shot on her pants. This
- 8:34Speaker 8: blood has gone everywhere. We know that the volume of
- 8:38Speaker 8: blood here, this is consistent. Now that's passive dropping, which
- 8:43Speaker 8: from a forensic standpoint is hugely demonstrative. Nancy, can you
- 8:48Speaker 8: imagine having this evidence in courtroom because you can actually
- 8:51Speaker 8: show just got look.
- 8:53Speaker 4: At the picture.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Everybody's just sitting there like nothing happened.
- 8:56Speaker 8: Look, yeah, yeah, it's just it's inundated. The floor is
- 9:02Speaker 8: and you go back to where she is over there,
- 9:05Speaker 8: it would have been an absolute horror show. Back there,
- 9:07Speaker 8: she's bleeding out, probably when she hit the floor. You
- 9:11Speaker 8: can apply direct pressure to a wound like that. But Nancy,
- 9:14Speaker 8: the internal damage I would suspect was so grievous that
- 9:19Speaker 8: she would not have survived. Even if you had had
- 9:22Speaker 8: a team of surgeon standing by there with her, she
- 9:27Speaker 8: wouldn't have had a shot. This is a holy lethal event.
- 9:32Speaker 8: I think that this show's intent. And right here, look
- 9:35Speaker 8: at him reaching in his pocket. He's that's a folding knife.
- 9:38Speaker 8: He's got Nancy. He's unfolding that he's getting ready to gauge.
- 9:41Speaker 8: He stands up and attacks her right there. And it
- 9:45Speaker 8: was that quick.
- 9:46Speaker 4: I believe just got Morgan.
- 9:48Speaker 2: The blood droplets you're talking about that we just showed
- 9:53Speaker 2: from the killer, because he just walks off with the
- 9:57Speaker 2: blood dripping, literally dripping from the knife.
- 10:01Speaker 1: And nobody does anything. Listen.
- 10:05Speaker 3: Carlos Brown walks up and down the aisle before the
- 10:08Speaker 3: train stops, at times stepping in IRENA's blood, spreading it
- 10:12Speaker 3: in the walkway. Brown is not approached by anyone on
- 10:14Speaker 3: the train, and as the train pulls into the station,
- 10:17Speaker 3: he deboords as if nothing has taken place. Irena Zarutzka
- 10:21Speaker 3: is bleeding to death on the train. As Brown exits
- 10:25Speaker 3: the train. Police locate a folding pocket knife nearby that
- 10:28Speaker 3: it's covered in blood. Irena is found laying on her
- 10:31Speaker 3: back next to a large amount of blood and a
- 10:33Speaker 3: stab wound in the middle of her neck.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Do you see him changing shirts? Can we see that
- 10:39Speaker 2: video again? Kelly Himan joining US high profile lawyer joining
- 10:45Speaker 2: us out of the Florida jurisdiction, Star off Once Upon
- 10:49Speaker 2: a Crime in Hollywood podcast.
- 10:51Speaker 4: Kelly the fact that he keep.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Rolling, changes his shirt to hide all the blood on
- 11:00Speaker 2: his hoodie. That is clearly consciousness of guilt.
- 11:05Speaker 9: This is a horrible tragedy, Dancy. And we're watching in
- 11:09Speaker 9: the video right now of him changing his shirt. Now,
- 11:13Speaker 9: this is something that never should have happened and hopefully
- 11:17Speaker 9: will never happen again, that someone who comes to this
- 11:21Speaker 9: country for promise and hope and for a new life
- 11:25Speaker 9: is killed on mass transit.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Changing shirt evidence of guilt, That's what I'm saying, Kelly.
- 11:30Speaker 9: Why it potentially shows evidence of guilt because it goes
- 11:35Speaker 9: to his state of mind.
- 11:37Speaker 2: You know two doctor Sue Cornblooth joining us, owner of
- 11:43Speaker 2: Doctor Sue and you author of Building Self Esteem and Children.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Doctor Sue, he didn't want people to see his bloody shirt.
- 11:53Speaker 4: When he got off the train.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Why didn't he want people to see his bloody shirt
- 11:57Speaker 2: because that would indicate he's the killer. That's white shows
- 12:02Speaker 2: evidence of guilt. He knows what he did was wrong.
- 12:07Speaker 2: That shows he knows it was wrong. He's trying to
- 12:11Speaker 2: get rid of the evidence.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Well, that brings this topic up.
- 12:17Speaker 10: Which other people are claiming that he's mentally ill and
- 12:20Speaker 10: that he didn't know what he was doing. But as
- 12:23Speaker 10: you can see right here. Oh he knows what he's doing, right,
- 12:27Speaker 10: taking off his shirt, putting something else on to cover
- 12:31Speaker 10: up the evidence that he has. So this is interesting.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Right was he mentally ill? Wasn't he mentally ill?
- 12:40Speaker 7: What happened here?
- 12:41Speaker 10: That's what I would like to know, Nancy, and I'm
- 12:44Speaker 10: sure everybody else wants to know that too.
- 12:47Speaker 2: And Tom Green joining US former Chief Deputy Washau County
- 12:51Speaker 2: Sheriff's homicide detective, also currently owner Nevada Investigative Services.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Tom, he also got rid of the weapon.
- 13:01Speaker 2: He got rid of the weapon and hid his bloody
- 13:04Speaker 2: shirt evidence of guilt.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Evidence. He knew what he did was wrong.
- 13:10Speaker 2: And someone may have a mental illness before or after
- 13:15Speaker 2: the incident.
- 13:16Speaker 4: But what matters in our jurisprudence.
- 13:19Speaker 1: This is the law. Whether anybody else agrees or not,
- 13:23Speaker 1: the law.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Is, if you know right from wrong at the time
- 13:28Speaker 2: of the incident, you were not insane. It's called the
- 13:32Speaker 2: Old Naughton test, and it is brought over.
- 13:36Speaker 1: From Great Britain.
- 13:39Speaker 2: It was brought here to the US, and it is
- 13:43Speaker 2: part of our common law.
- 13:45Speaker 1: What is common law? Common law is.
- 13:47Speaker 4: Case law, their statutory law, which is.
- 13:50Speaker 2: The code the criminal code, the black and white letter
- 13:53Speaker 2: of the law that's been passed by the legislatures. And
- 13:57Speaker 2: then there is common law, commonly used law. The old
- 14:01Speaker 2: McNaughton test is the common law in the US. There
- 14:05Speaker 2: are a few exceptions to it. There are modifications to it.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Some jurisdictions don't even have insanity like Idaho doesn't even
- 14:13Speaker 2: have the insanity defense. But where it exists, such as
- 14:17Speaker 2: North Carolina, this jurisdiction, if you know right and wrong
- 14:22Speaker 2: at the time of the event, you are sane and
- 14:26Speaker 2: therefore responsible. What does this indicate to you, Tom Green, Well.
- 14:34Speaker 11: It indicates consciousness of guilt. And then you know, also,
- 14:37Speaker 11: if you watch that video, it appears that he's deliberating
- 14:40Speaker 11: with himself before he makes the overt act of.
- 14:42Speaker 8: Stabbing her in the neck.
- 14:44Speaker 4: What do you mean by that, Well.
- 14:46Speaker 11: You can see him basically talking to himself, and I've
- 14:50Speaker 11: read reports that he was overheard muttering to himself. You know, clearly,
- 14:56Speaker 11: he takes that knife out, he does the stabbing, like
- 15:00Speaker 11: you said, then he attempts to flee the scene. There's
- 15:02Speaker 11: nowhere to go, so he has to change his appearance.
- 15:05Speaker 11: He takes off his sweatshirt. It is probably covering his
- 15:08Speaker 11: hand because I think he also got cut my understanding,
- 15:12Speaker 11: and then as you said, he discards the evidence when
- 15:14Speaker 11: he leaves the When he leaves.
- 15:15Speaker 3: The rail, passengers aboard the train look on as Arena
- 15:18Speaker 3: bleeds out in front of them. As the suspect walks away,
- 15:21Speaker 3: nobody confronts him. Blood is dripping on the floor from
- 15:24Speaker 3: the knife and from Arena, but nobody offers her any help. Instead,
- 15:28Speaker 3: some of the passengers on the train use their phones
- 15:31Speaker 3: to video what is taking place. One of the passengers
- 15:34Speaker 3: calls nine to one. One. Known for her love of
- 15:39Speaker 3: animals and art, Irena dreams of becoming a veterinary assistant.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Her tight knit family supports her as she addaps to
- 15:45Speaker 3: life in the US, mastering English and landing a job
- 15:48Speaker 3: at pizza restaurant. But one faithful Friday night on her
- 15:52Speaker 3: journey home, things take a terrifying turn.
- 15:57Speaker 2: So innocent, so hard war working, this girl dead because
- 16:03Speaker 2: an ex con was walking out free on bond Thanks
- 16:09Speaker 2: Judd with a rap seat as long as I seventy
- 16:12Speaker 2: five there on the train to murder this girl. Those
- 16:16Speaker 2: are only a few of this guy's mugshots, and this
- 16:19Speaker 2: has echoed all the way to DC listen.
- 16:23Speaker 5: Surveillance video of the killing was finally released to the
- 16:26Speaker 5: public this past Friday.
- 16:27Speaker 1: It shows the alleged killer, to Carlos.
- 16:30Speaker 5: Brown Junior, pull out a knife, get up from his
- 16:33Speaker 5: seat behind Arena, and prepare to thrust a blade into
- 16:37Speaker 5: her neck before the released footage gets cut. This is
- 16:41Speaker 5: pure evil on full display.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Surveillance video shows suspect de Carlos Brown sitting behind Irena.
- 16:47Speaker 3: He takes a knife out of his pocket, unfolds the
- 16:49Speaker 3: blade and strikes Irena as there's got three times from behind.
- 16:54Speaker 3: She never saw it coming. As Brown walks away down
- 16:57Speaker 3: the aisle in the middle of the train, blood is
- 16:59Speaker 3: seen from the knife onto the floor.
- 17:02Speaker 4: Hmm.
- 17:03Speaker 2: You earlier heard the White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt
- 17:06Speaker 2: speaking from our friends at Fox. You know Joe Scott Morgan,
- 17:10Speaker 2: professor Forensic shacksvill State University death investigator. He stabbed her
- 17:14Speaker 2: multiple times. And the law is I'm going to get
- 17:17Speaker 2: Kelly Hymen on this in just a moment.
- 17:20Speaker 1: The law is that intent.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Can be formed in the blink of an eye blink,
- 17:24Speaker 2: just like that, and the twinkling of a moment. In
- 17:28Speaker 2: other words, in the time it takes as I use
- 17:30Speaker 2: for juries to raise the gun and pull the trigger.
- 17:33Speaker 4: That's long enough for intent.
- 17:35Speaker 2: It does not require a long, premeditated plan such as
- 17:40Speaker 2: poisoning someone over the course of weeks and months.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Till they die.
- 17:44Speaker 2: It doesn't require any real period of time at all.
- 17:49Speaker 4: And I gave you the gun comparison.
- 17:50Speaker 2: But in this case, Joe Scott, he stabbed her multiple times,
- 17:55Speaker 2: which requires a lift and a stab, a lift and
- 17:58Speaker 2: a stab, a lift and a dad. Added to the
- 18:01Speaker 2: time that you pointed out that he's fumbling around in
- 18:04Speaker 2: his pocket to get the knife. All of that takes time.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Joe Scott, what do you believe was the force the
- 18:13Speaker 2: weighted force necessary to penetrate.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Her caroate it?
- 18:18Speaker 8: Huh, not very much. Hey, did you notice something, Nancy.
- 18:22Speaker 8: He didn't pick on a two hundred and fifty pound
- 18:24Speaker 8: construction worker with a hard hat, and I did. He
- 18:27Speaker 8: He picked on this young woman who literally I'm looking
- 18:32Speaker 8: at her. She reminds me of my daughter when my
- 18:35Speaker 8: daughter was this age, Built like a ballerina, she might
- 18:38Speaker 8: weigh maybe one hundred and ten pounds perhaps, and this
- 18:44Speaker 8: big guy goes after her. What you know, it's almost
- 18:48Speaker 8: it's almost like throwing throwing a brick through a stained
- 18:51Speaker 8: glass window. Where are you going to do this? What's
- 18:54Speaker 8: the purpose behind this? He's thinking about this, I can
- 18:58Speaker 8: tell you this. He's sure as hell. What unfolded that
- 19:00Speaker 8: knife so he could pick his nails or peel an apple?
- 19:03Speaker 8: Back there, he's summoning up. It's not courage, it's certainly
- 19:08Speaker 8: not courage. He's summoning up the maximum amount of evil
- 19:11Speaker 8: he can as he savages this poor girl.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, roll that back one more time,
- 19:19Speaker 2: because you see him not only fish around for the knife,
- 19:22Speaker 2: you see him open up the blade as he's looking
- 19:27Speaker 2: through his pockets right there, he opened the blade. That
- 19:32Speaker 2: takes time, Kelly Himen, veteran trial lawyer, that's more than
- 19:38Speaker 2: enough time under the law to form intent to kill.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Intent is key.
- 19:44Speaker 9: For the first degree charge against him. Nancy, and you
- 19:47Speaker 9: bring up a really good point in the blink of
- 19:49Speaker 9: an instant is going to be key for this case
- 19:52Speaker 9: that at that moment he had the specific intent to
- 19:56Speaker 9: harm and cure cure the harm ant arm this woman.
- 20:01Speaker 2: You know, Tom Green, following up on what jo Scott
- 20:03Speaker 2: Morgan said, he didn't pick on a three hundred pounds
- 20:07Speaker 2: linebacker the size of fridge. He picked on this little girl.
- 20:11Speaker 2: To me, that is a predator. That is a predator
- 20:15Speaker 2: that picks his victim knowingly, with consciousness of forethought.
- 20:21Speaker 11: I agree, I mean he did. He looked like a predator,
- 20:25Speaker 11: and she looked like prayer. She had no idea that
- 20:27Speaker 11: attack was coming. You saw the surprise on her face,
- 20:29Speaker 11: the terror, the fear, and the shock. I mean, it's
- 20:34Speaker 11: just it's a horrific crime.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Well to me, all of that. Tom goes to intent.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Look at her, Oh my goodness, just you know, amazingly
- 20:47Speaker 2: physically beautiful, but Lauren Colin beautiful on the inside as well.
- 20:53Speaker 4: Explain.
- 20:54Speaker 6: Irena really cared about animals in need. She volunteered and
- 20:59Speaker 6: helped neighbor hood animals if they were, you know, hurt or.
- 21:03Speaker 7: Harmed in any way. And she was said to be
- 21:05Speaker 7: an amazing and passionate.
- 21:08Speaker 6: Artist and per her family Nancy, she just loved the
- 21:13Speaker 6: United States.
- 21:14Speaker 7: I mean, she was living in.
- 21:16Speaker 6: A bunker in Ukraine before she came here, obviously trying
- 21:20Speaker 6: to escape the war. She loved America and that's why
- 21:24Speaker 6: her family wants her to be very here.
- 21:32Speaker 3: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, war Torn in Ukraine, where
- 21:38Speaker 3: she was living in a bomb shelter. Twenty three year
- 21:41Speaker 3: old Irena Zarutzka immigrates with her mother, sister, and brother
- 21:44Speaker 3: to the United States. A graduate of Senergy College and
- 21:47Speaker 3: Art and Restoration, she shares her creativity with family and friends,
- 21:50Speaker 3: creating personal works of art for gifts and marking special
- 21:53Speaker 3: occasions and exploring new places. But Irena is a homebody
- 21:57Speaker 3: at heart, happiest surrounded by her pets and family, and
- 22:00Speaker 3: dreams of a career as a veterinary assistant. After her shift,
- 22:07Speaker 3: the college graduate boards the train unknowingly sitting in front
- 22:11Speaker 3: of de Carlos Brown, a man with a violent past.
- 22:14Speaker 3: Little does she know, Brown is about to alter the
- 22:17Speaker 3: course of her night.
- 22:19Speaker 1: You heard who.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Irina was living in a bunker in Ukraine, a bomb shelter.
- 22:27Speaker 4: Finally, her dream comes true.
- 22:28Speaker 2: She makes it to the US, only to meet up
- 22:32Speaker 2: with de Carlos Brown.
- 22:35Speaker 1: So we know who she is who is he.
- 22:38Speaker 5: The most enraging and unacceptable part of the story is
- 22:41Speaker 5: that her death was entirely preventable. De Carlos Brown never
- 22:45Speaker 5: should have been on that train that night. In fact,
- 22:49Speaker 5: he should have been behind bars. De Carlos Brown has
- 22:52Speaker 5: been charged with crimes no fewer than fourteen times dating
- 22:55Speaker 5: back to twenty and eleven, including for armed robbery, felony lars,
- 23:00Speaker 5: breaking and entering, and shoplifting. Brown had previously served five
- 23:05Speaker 5: years in prison for a robbery with a deadly weapon charge,
- 23:08Speaker 5: and he had also forfeited bonds three different times.
- 23:11Speaker 3: De Carlos Brown was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina,
- 23:15Speaker 3: and has a criminal record dating back to twenty eleven.
- 23:18Speaker 3: Many charges are for communicating threats and injury to property
- 23:21Speaker 3: that were dismissed by Mecklenburg District Attorneys Andrew Murray and
- 23:24Speaker 3: Spencer Merriweather. In April twenty fourteen, Brown pleaded guilty to
- 23:28Speaker 3: two twenty thirteen charges of felony larceny and breaking and entering.
- 23:32Speaker 3: A judge suspended his sentence of five to fifteen months
- 23:35Speaker 3: in prison. Instead, the judge ordered he served two years probation.
- 23:39Speaker 2: Oh, dear lord, So he pleads guilty to two charges
- 23:45Speaker 2: felony larceny and breaking and entering. But the judge do
- 23:49Speaker 2: we have a picture of The judge suspends the sentence
- 23:53Speaker 2: and gives him two years probation straight. Thanks judge, Thanks
- 24:00Speaker 2: two years straight probation, he walks out free.
- 24:08Speaker 1: You happy, judge? Are you happy? The guy pled guilty.
- 24:13Speaker 2: And took a sentence of jail time, and then the
- 24:16Speaker 2: judge suspended the sentence. Earlier, Elevet speaking from our friends
- 24:20Speaker 2: at Fox on Friend But guys, this is just the
- 24:23Speaker 2: tip of the iceberg. Our screen doesn't have room for
- 24:28Speaker 2: all of his mugshots.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Listen.
- 24:31Speaker 3: Four months into probation, Brown robs a man in South Charlotte.
- 24:35Speaker 3: Brown paced the complex for an hour before brandishing a handgun.
- 24:38Speaker 3: He demands the victim's phone and money, and left in
- 24:41Speaker 3: a two thousand and one Dodge caravan with the man
- 24:44Speaker 3: Samsung Galaxy Note four hundred and fifty dollars and one
- 24:47Speaker 3: hundred dollars Limpura Hondura's currency note. Police found Brown's car
- 24:51Speaker 3: at an apartment owned by his mother. He was cooperative
- 24:53Speaker 3: with officers at first and allowed officers to go inside.
- 24:57Speaker 3: When officers found the stolen items, he grew and asked
- 25:00Speaker 3: officers to leave. They don't leave, they arrest Brown. Brown
- 25:04Speaker 3: pleaded guilty to robbery with a dangerous weapon and was
- 25:06Speaker 3: sentenced to a maximum of eight years four months. He
- 25:09Speaker 3: served five years seven months before being released from Central Prison.
- 25:12Speaker 4: Kelly Hymen, that's a whole other can of worms.
- 25:15Speaker 2: When I was negotiating felony please, and or trying felonies.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Let's just say a young man comes in with five
- 25:23Speaker 2: hits a crack, all right, I could go with intend
- 25:26Speaker 2: to distribute on that five hits.
- 25:28Speaker 4: Was he going to do all that himself?
- 25:30Speaker 1: That's one thing.
- 25:32Speaker 2: But if he has a gun, that is a whole
- 25:37Speaker 2: another animal, because when you have a gun, that means
- 25:42Speaker 2: you're up to hurting somebody else. So it's not just
- 25:46Speaker 2: that he was calling nine one one and misusing nine
- 25:50Speaker 2: one one. It's not just he went into somebody's house
- 25:52Speaker 2: and stole something. He had a weapon on more than
- 25:57Speaker 2: one occasion.
- 25:58Speaker 1: And that kicks it up several notches.
- 26:01Speaker 2: And who and the hey let this guy walk after
- 26:05Speaker 2: brandishing weapons and they keep referring to a robbery.
- 26:09Speaker 1: It was not a robbery. He had a weapon when
- 26:12Speaker 1: he committed that robbery.
- 26:14Speaker 4: That's been pled down.
- 26:15Speaker 2: As we say, a robbery is a lot lighter sentence
- 26:20Speaker 2: than an armed robbery. An armed robbery, even if it's
- 26:24Speaker 2: a fake toy gun, a fake rubber knife, much less
- 26:29Speaker 2: a real knife or a real gun. You start at
- 26:32Speaker 2: a minimum a five years hard jail time minimum. So
- 26:38Speaker 2: if you can get your prosecutor to come off armed
- 26:41Speaker 2: and say, look, look, sentence made a ten years on robbery,
- 26:45Speaker 2: not five on armed because on robbery you'll walk in
- 26:49Speaker 2: about a year two years max. On armed robbery you
- 26:53Speaker 2: have a minimum of five. So somebody pled that down
- 26:58Speaker 2: and let him plead to robbery versus armed robbery.
- 27:02Speaker 1: But I mean brandishing a weapon. He should have been
- 27:06Speaker 1: behind bars.
- 27:08Speaker 9: The punishment should fit the crime. Nancy, And you bring
- 27:11Speaker 9: up a really good point about talking about the fact
- 27:14Speaker 9: that there was a gun involved in how that heightens
- 27:17Speaker 9: the crime as well. And we think about if in
- 27:20Speaker 9: fact he was behind bars, that this woman happened, this
- 27:24Speaker 9: young beautiful woman would not have lost her life. That
- 27:28Speaker 9: there needs to be some type of change that hopefully
- 27:31Speaker 9: this can shed light on the fact that such a
- 27:34Speaker 9: young woman, so beautiful, with so much hope, lost her
- 27:37Speaker 9: life and she did that and hopefully there'll be some
- 27:41Speaker 9: type of justice for her family.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Lauren Colin, I want to talk about the judge, but
- 27:47Speaker 2: first listen to more. This guy got so many breaks
- 27:53Speaker 2: from the system.
- 27:55Speaker 1: A fleet of defense attorneys helped him.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Cases were plied down byors, but most important the judge.
- 28:02Speaker 1: The judge. Listen.
- 28:04Speaker 5: Despite all of this past documented criminal history, when Brown
- 28:08Speaker 5: was arrested yet again in January of this past year,
- 28:11Speaker 5: a Democrat judge released this insane criminal once again without
- 28:16Speaker 5: requiring him to pay any bill. He simply had to
- 28:20Speaker 5: sign a written promise to return for his court hearing.
- 28:24Speaker 5: Think about how crazy it is to ask a career criminal,
- 28:27Speaker 5: someone who by definition repeatedly breaks the law, to just
- 28:31Speaker 5: sign a written promise and come back again another day.
- 28:34Speaker 1: This is madness.
- 28:36Speaker 5: This monster should have been locked up and Arena should
- 28:38Speaker 5: still be alive.
- 28:40Speaker 2: That's Carolyn Levett, the White House Press secretary speaking.
- 28:44Speaker 4: What is she talking about?
- 28:46Speaker 1: Oh wait till you hear.
- 28:48Speaker 2: This crime stores with Nancy Grace.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Listen.
- 29:01Speaker 3: In September twenty twenty two, Brown arrested on assault on
- 29:04Speaker 3: a female an injury to property. April twenty twenty four,
- 29:07Speaker 3: Brown arrested for misusing nine one one May twenty twenty four,
- 29:11Speaker 3: misusing nine one one January twenty twenty five, misusing nine
- 29:15Speaker 3: one one January twenty twenty five. Judge Teresa Stokes released
- 29:19Speaker 3: Brown the same day he was arrested on a written promise.
- 29:21Speaker 1: To appear.
- 29:22Speaker 3: Brown did not present himself for evaluation. Three weeks later,
- 29:26Speaker 3: he is alleged to have killed Irena. If that order
- 29:29Speaker 3: was followed, he would have been evaluated weeks before the stabbing.
- 29:32Speaker 3: The public defender in his murdered charge filed a motion
- 29:35Speaker 3: questioning Brown's mental capacity, and Wiggins again ordered dB evaluated.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Police have not identified any motive or lengthy attack to
- 29:43Speaker 3: mental illness.
- 29:46Speaker 2: Oh my stars, okay, law and Colin. This guy's a
- 29:51Speaker 2: career criminal. And the judge, Teresa Stokes says, Okay, I'm
- 29:58Speaker 2: going to cush you loose, doing you a big favor,
- 30:01Speaker 2: but now you gotta promise, pinky, promise.
- 30:07Speaker 1: That you'll come.
- 30:08Speaker 4: Back to court again.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Pinky promise to promise, promise to Carlos Brow that you'll
- 30:17Speaker 2: come back.
- 30:20Speaker 1: What the hey was she thinking?
- 30:23Speaker 7: I have no words, Nancy.
- 30:25Speaker 6: The fact that he was walking on the street after
- 30:30Speaker 6: she knows what he's done, she knows these these assaults
- 30:34Speaker 6: that occurred, she knows that he had fourteen prior arrests
- 30:38Speaker 6: with weapons, he had pre basically assault bit his own sister.
- 30:43Speaker 6: So the fact, again that he was released on a
- 30:46Speaker 6: written promise to appear is incredibly, incredibly concerning, and at
- 30:51Speaker 6: this point, Republicans in North Carolina are asking her to
- 30:56Speaker 6: step down.
- 30:57Speaker 7: They are writing letters.
- 31:02Speaker 2: I really don't care who's a Democrat and who's Republican. Okay,
- 31:06Speaker 2: don't care. This is beyond anything political. I don't care
- 31:13Speaker 2: if you're red or blue, or green or purple.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Show me the video please, New York Control Room.
- 31:21Speaker 2: I don't care who you vote for in the secrecy
- 31:24Speaker 2: of the voting booth. If you do not believe that
- 31:28Speaker 2: this is pure evil and the judge who let him walk,
- 31:33Speaker 2: really all of them, it wasn't just one, should get
- 31:36Speaker 2: off the bench. They're too out of it. They must
- 31:41Speaker 2: be too complacent. They haven't been in the real world.
- 31:45Speaker 2: They've been in their ivory tower office in the courthouse
- 31:48Speaker 2: way too long. They need to look at this every
- 31:51Speaker 2: single day. Because of them, he was walking free and
- 31:56Speaker 2: she's dead.
- 31:57Speaker 1: You know what, I don't think they care, Kelly Hyman.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Judges, not all of them, but so many of them
- 32:05Speaker 2: don't care. Get off the bench if you don't care,
- 32:09Speaker 2: get the h double l out of the courthouse. I
- 32:14Speaker 2: just you know, I've had judges that just want to
- 32:17Speaker 2: clear the calendar.
- 32:18Speaker 4: They want to clear the calendar.
- 32:20Speaker 2: I had a judge, an amazing judge, Judge Luther Alberson,
- 32:25Speaker 2: and he was hell bent that we would have the
- 32:28Speaker 2: lowest jail count of anybody in the courthouse. Why because
- 32:32Speaker 2: he was so old that he could have been.
- 32:36Speaker 4: Forced into mandatory retirement.
- 32:38Speaker 2: But he was already on the bench when mandatory retirement
- 32:40Speaker 2: was enacted.
- 32:42Speaker 1: He wanted the jail count low. What's the jail count?
- 32:44Speaker 2: That's how many people are sitting in jail waiting for you,
- 32:47Speaker 2: the judge, to.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Adjudicate their case.
- 32:50Speaker 2: And if you've got a huge jail count, that must
- 32:52Speaker 2: mean you're not doing your job. But he would never
- 32:55Speaker 2: take a plea unless it was the right thing to do.
- 33:00Speaker 2: You to hay with the jail count. In fact, none
- 33:04Speaker 2: of my Please don't worry about that. But I've seen
- 33:07Speaker 2: him take a plea from prosecute and go the bench.
- 33:11Speaker 4: I eat me.
- 33:12Speaker 1: The bench rejects the plea agreement.
- 33:15Speaker 2: I advise both counsel to continue plea negotiations or we
- 33:21Speaker 2: will strike a jury. Yeah, he didn't have a problem
- 33:24Speaker 2: doing that if the plea was too low or out
- 33:26Speaker 2: of place or inappropriate.
- 33:29Speaker 4: Yeah, what did that mean for me?
- 33:31Speaker 2: That means meant I had to go on trial trial
- 33:34Speaker 2: calendar every other week to keep the jail count low
- 33:38Speaker 2: and to get an appropriate sentence at trial. Okay, these
- 33:44Speaker 2: judges don't give a flying fig what the hate let
- 33:48Speaker 2: this guy walk free? Say, well, we're gonna get him evaluated,
- 33:52Speaker 2: but you let him walk for you're so concerned about
- 33:56Speaker 2: his mental state that you want a forensic mental value,
- 34:00Speaker 2: but you let him walk free to murder Arena.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they need to be thrown off the bench, Kelly, Well, Nancy.
- 34:09Speaker 9: That will ultimately be up to the people who vote
- 34:11Speaker 9: for him, because in some states they can vote for
- 34:13Speaker 9: who they want as their judge. But then also the
- 34:16Speaker 9: governor can appoint the state judges as well, so it's
- 34:18Speaker 9: going to be different depending on the state.
- 34:20Speaker 4: But yes, and that's their.
- 34:22Speaker 9: Ultimate decision of whether or not that they want someone
- 34:26Speaker 9: on the bench to serve the people, because the judge ultimately.
- 34:30Speaker 7: Is the decider of the fact. And sadly, in this case, this.
- 34:34Speaker 9: Gentleman was not in jail or being mentally evaluated, and
- 34:38Speaker 9: he committed this pus penous crime of beautiful young girl.
- 34:43Speaker 2: What do you have to do to get a judge
- 34:46Speaker 2: off the bench? What put a stick of dynamite under
- 34:49Speaker 2: their rear end to say it's over. You're going to
- 34:53Speaker 2: have to go get a regular job like everybody else.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Look at crime stories. We don't care if you're a
- 35:01Speaker 2: Democrat or Republican. In fact, we could not care less
- 35:04Speaker 2: than we do. And I don't care who likes or
- 35:07Speaker 2: dislikes Trump.
- 35:08Speaker 4: That is not my concern. But what he is saying
- 35:12Speaker 4: here is true.
- 35:14Speaker 12: In Charlotte, North Carolina, we saw the results of these
- 35:17Speaker 12: policies when a twenty three year old woman who came
- 35:21Speaker 12: here from Ukraine met her bloody end on a public train.
- 35:26Speaker 12: And here's a picture of it. This is the picture
- 35:29Speaker 12: of it. And this is a picture of the woman,
- 35:35Speaker 12: a beautiful young girl that never had problems in life,
- 35:42Speaker 12: with a magnificent future in this country. And now she's dead.
- 35:48Speaker 12: She was slaughtered by a deranged monster who was roaming
- 35:52Speaker 12: free after fourteen prior.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Arrests from friends.
- 35:56Speaker 3: At Fox without warning, De Carlos Brown pulls out a
- 36:02Speaker 3: pocket knife, stands and lunges over the seat, stabbing Irena
- 36:06Speaker 3: in the neck. As he walks away. Irena fights desperately
- 36:10Speaker 3: for her life, clutching her neck to stop the flow
- 36:12Speaker 3: of blood.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Unable to call for help, and the passers by stood
- 36:17Speaker 2: there and let it happen. I don't know if you
- 36:21Speaker 2: are familiar with the Kitty Genevisi case. I had to
- 36:27Speaker 2: learn about it in first year of law school. Kitty
- 36:31Speaker 2: Genevisi May she Rest in peace, was brutally raped and murdered.
- 36:40Speaker 2: There were scores of onlookers that watched the attack and
- 36:47Speaker 2: did nothing, to the point that it is now called
- 36:51Speaker 2: the Kitty Genevisi syndrome. To doctor Sue Cornblue, renowned expert,
- 37:00Speaker 2: please explain the Kiddy Dinavasi syndrome.
- 37:03Speaker 10: Yeah, Nancy, you hit on something that is very accurate here.
- 37:07Speaker 10: So the Kitty gen Avc case in nineteen sixty four
- 37:11Speaker 10: was that she was getting brutally murdered and people heard
- 37:14Speaker 10: about this, and nobody took it on to call the
- 37:19Speaker 10: police about this. Why because everybody believes that somebody else
- 37:25Speaker 10: is going.
- 37:26Speaker 7: To do it. So it's about the diffusion of responsibility.
- 37:30Speaker 10: But let me say this, when you are witnessing something,
- 37:34Speaker 10: it is everybody's responsibility to jump in right away and
- 37:38Speaker 10: do something, not bring out.
- 37:40Speaker 7: Your phone so that you can get your viral clip.
- 37:44Speaker 10: And it's not okay to think that somebody else is
- 37:47Speaker 10: going to step in and do something. We all have
- 37:50Speaker 10: the responsibility of citizens and human beings to have empathy
- 37:54Speaker 10: and compassion. And so when you see something that is
- 37:57Speaker 10: going on, it is everybody's responsibility to jump in and
- 38:01Speaker 10: do something.
- 38:02Speaker 7: And that didn't.
- 38:04Speaker 10: Happen here quick enough, and I want to remind people
- 38:07Speaker 10: of that. It is everybody's responsibility to jump in right
- 38:11Speaker 10: away and call nine to one one to get help
- 38:16Speaker 10: for somebody in need. That is what you would want
- 38:18Speaker 10: if something something was happening to you. It's not an
- 38:21Speaker 10: excuse anymore that you're going in to trauma and you're
- 38:25Speaker 10: not doing this because you have.
- 38:27Speaker 7: Enough whereabouts in your mind to get your video camera
- 38:30Speaker 7: up and video it.
- 38:31Speaker 10: And this just kills me because perhaps if this happened,
- 38:35Speaker 10: this beautiful young lady could have survived.
- 38:40Speaker 2: And you know, it takes another step to Joseph Scott Morgan,
- 38:43Speaker 2: Professor or Jacksonville State University.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Not only did they not help her, finally one.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Guy runs up and tries to start the float of
- 38:54Speaker 2: blood with his own shirt. They not only didn't act
- 38:59Speaker 2: to help her, they actively began videoing her dying. Now,
- 39:05Speaker 2: Kitty Genovesi was murdered outside her apartment and a full
- 39:11Speaker 2: view of everyone else in an apartment complex in Queens.
- 39:15Speaker 2: She was attacked, attacked and attacked three separate occasions before
- 39:19Speaker 2: she was before she actually died, and everyone stood by.
- 39:24Speaker 2: The people that watched Irena be attacked and die, they
- 39:27Speaker 2: not only did nothing, they.
- 39:30Speaker 1: Actively began videoing the carnage. Joe Scott.
- 39:35Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like it's there. They're living in an alternate universe.
- 39:41Speaker 8: What good is that? Is that videography going to do?
- 39:44Speaker 8: You heard someone mention just a second ago, going viral,
- 39:48Speaker 8: so that you're telling me that trump's this young woman's life.
- 39:52Speaker 8: You've already been visited by a monster that was just
- 39:56Speaker 8: among you. He's exited stage right at this point. Oh now,
- 40:01Speaker 8: let's let's take a look and video. All that's left
- 40:05Speaker 8: here is as her as her life literally seeps out
- 40:08Speaker 8: of her neck onto the filthy floor of this train
- 40:12Speaker 8: where she's just trying to get by in life, having
- 40:16Speaker 8: escaped Nancy, having escaped a war zone, a war zone,
- 40:21Speaker 8: and now she's in Charlotte, North Carolina, and get stabbed
- 40:25Speaker 8: in the throat by this guy. And let me tell
- 40:27Speaker 8: you what if you like that, let me tell you
- 40:29Speaker 8: one more thing. You were talking about judges and this
- 40:31Speaker 8: guy being cut loose on the rest of society. Nancy,
- 40:35Speaker 8: there's something that's gone unmentioned here. After he perpetrates this crime,
- 40:40Speaker 8: does everybody notice how casually he just kind of walks away.
- 40:43Speaker 8: It's almost like he's used to violence. It's almost like
- 40:48Speaker 8: he knows he is not gonna be punished. This guy
- 40:54Speaker 8: has to be off the streets. They cannot let him
- 40:56Speaker 8: back out there. He is the worst of us. He
- 40:59Speaker 8: needs to be retained, He needs to be held to account.
- 41:03Speaker 8: He never needs to see the light of day again.
- 41:07Speaker 2: You know what, I agree with you, But don't you
- 41:09Speaker 2: understand it's in daylight and a dollar short. All of
- 41:11Speaker 2: these judges should have had him off the street at
- 41:14Speaker 2: the get go.
- 41:15Speaker 4: But there he is, taking his shirt off.
- 41:17Speaker 2: God forbid that anyone sees blood on his shirt after
- 41:20Speaker 2: he murders Arena Tom Green.
- 41:23Speaker 1: Everything Joe Scott Morgan just said is correct.
- 41:27Speaker 11: Absolutely, But you know, we're looking at cashless bail, we're
- 41:31Speaker 11: looking at restorative justice when we know what works. Incapacitation works.
- 41:35Speaker 11: If he had been locked up, she'd be alive. Who
- 41:38Speaker 11: else is he victimized?
- 41:39Speaker 1: Why he's even on that rail?
- 41:40Speaker 8: He has no job, What does he do?
- 41:42Speaker 11: How did he get on? How do he afford to
- 41:43Speaker 11: get the ticket to get on there?
- 41:45Speaker 7: Here?
- 41:45Speaker 11: She is coming home from work, like you said, coming
- 41:48Speaker 11: from a war zone.
- 41:49Speaker 7: She's a survivor.
- 41:50Speaker 11: And to be snuffed out by this coward is animal.
- 41:54Speaker 2: Or anybody, not just such a beautiful cover girl like her,
- 41:57Speaker 2: but anybody. What if that had been a child in
- 42:00Speaker 2: front of him? And to doctor Sue Cornblooth joining us,
- 42:04Speaker 2: I just want an addendum to the Kitty Genovisi case.
- 42:08Speaker 2: I don't know if you recall. His name was Winston Moseley.
- 42:11Speaker 2: He murdered her at age twenty nine. He confessed, he
- 42:14Speaker 2: was tried, he was convicted. We pay for his three
- 42:17Speaker 2: hots and a cot for fifty two years. He lived
- 42:20Speaker 2: to age eighty one.
- 42:24Speaker 1: I mean they're in the.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Library, meeting with lawyers, reading books, enjoying his meals.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Blah blah, fifty two.
- 42:36Speaker 2: Years we pay for him after he murdered, raped and murdered,
- 42:41Speaker 2: brutally murdered Kitty Geneves. Now mirror image to Carlos Brown,
- 42:47Speaker 2: same thing. He should have already been behind bars and
- 42:51Speaker 2: this and everybody not only did nothing, they videoed it.
- 42:56Speaker 7: It's so troubling, Nancy. It's so disturbed. And what I hope.
- 43:02Speaker 10: Happens here is this guy is put in the justice
- 43:06Speaker 10: system once and for all, and you know, seeks the
- 43:12Speaker 10: judge here, seeks justice for what has gone on here,
- 43:17Speaker 10: because as you said before to me, there is no
- 43:23Speaker 10: room for him to have been let out into the
- 43:27Speaker 10: streets without having a thorough forensic evaluation done. Do you
- 43:33Speaker 10: know I believe I read Nancy that he had already
- 43:38Speaker 10: been arrested fourteen to twenty two times and the mental
- 43:42Speaker 10: health evaluation was just ordered this past July.
- 43:46Speaker 7: Are you kidding me? He should have been evaluated for
- 43:49Speaker 7: day one.
- 43:50Speaker 10: It was his mother, his mother that took him to
- 43:53Speaker 10: get evaluated, and then they said that he had schizophrenia.
- 43:57Speaker 10: But let me say this, schizophrenia right, yes, that is
- 44:01Speaker 10: a mental disorder, but not all schizophrenics are murderers. Schizophrenics
- 44:07Speaker 10: take their medication and some of them do very well.
- 44:10Speaker 10: For me, Nancy, this was a drop in the legal
- 44:14Speaker 10: system and a judge unfortunately did not do his job
- 44:18Speaker 10: and put this mentally ill person back into society when
- 44:23Speaker 10: he was already doing things to hurt others.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Well, another thing, doctor Seu, is if they were so worried.
- 44:31Speaker 2: They must not have been that worried about his mental
- 44:35Speaker 2: ailment if it exists, because if they.
- 44:38Speaker 4: Were, why would they let him walk out the front door.
- 44:41Speaker 2: So they must not have been too worried about all
- 44:43Speaker 2: of us or about Arena. Guys, Hello, we hear your
- 44:51Speaker 2: phone calls from jail. I'm not telling anything you shouldn't

- 45:46Speaker 7: So I'm just trying to understand of all people.
- 45:50Speaker 13: That's Hey, it ain't I don't have nothing. They just
- 45:54Speaker 13: lashed out on her. That's that. That's what happened. They
- 45:57Speaker 13: lashed out on her, what was working out, who was
- 46:01Speaker 13: working at whoever was working in material? They last out
- 46:04Speaker 13: on they.
- 46:06Speaker 1: They obviously they is him. He lashed out.
- 46:14Speaker 2: If you know or think you know anything about Arena's murder,
- 46:20Speaker 2: even if you think it's inconsequential, it may not matter.
