- 2:08Speaker 3: We began in Louisiana, where a young sports reporter's life
- 2:12Speaker 3: has been cut short while covering the Super Bowl In
- 2:15Speaker 3: New Orleans, as Crime Online correspondent Sidney Sunder tells US
- 2:19Speaker 3: authorities have now made an arrest in connection with the case.
- 2:23Speaker 2: A Don Monzano, a twenty seven year old anchor and
- 2:26Speaker 2: reporter for Telemundo Kansas City, was found dead on February
- 2:29Speaker 2: fifth in his hotel room in Kenner, Louisiana, a suburb
- 2:32Speaker 2: of New Orleans. Monzano was in town to cover Super
- 2:36Speaker 2: Bowl fifty nine. Surveillance footage revealed that forty eight year
- 2:39Speaker 2: old Dnet Colbert accompanied Manzano to his hotel room around
- 2:43Speaker 2: five am on the day of his death and departed
- 2:45Speaker 2: alone approximately an hour later. Authorities alleged that Colbert used
- 2:49Speaker 2: Monzano's credit card at multiple local stores. Subsequent searches of
- 2:53Speaker 2: her Slidel Louisiana residence uncovered Monzano's credit card and cell phone,
- 2:58Speaker 2: along with narcotics. Bart has been arrested and faces charges
- 3:02Speaker 2: including bank fraud and theft. In twenty twenty two, she
- 3:05Speaker 2: faced felony charges in Las Vegas for allegedly drugging men
- 3:08Speaker 2: and stealing their valuables, though those cases were dismissed when
- 3:11Speaker 2: the victims declined to testify. The Jefferson Parish coroner's office
- 3:15Speaker 2: is conducting toxicology tests to determine the cause of Manzano's death,
- 3:19Speaker 2: with results expected in the coming weeks.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Authorities have not yet classified Monzano's death as a homicide
- 3:26Speaker 3: pending these findings. A North Carolina judge has ruled that
- 3:30Speaker 3: racial bias played a major role in jury selection and
- 3:34Speaker 3: sentencing in the two thousand and nine death penalty case
- 3:37Speaker 3: of Hassan Baycote, a black man convicted in Johnston County.
- 3:41Speaker 3: Superior Court Judge Wayland Sermons, Junior found what he called
- 3:45Speaker 3: glaring patterns of discrimination, noting that black defendants in capital
- 3:50Speaker 3: cases were sentenced to death one hundred percent of the time,
- 3:54Speaker 3: while similar white defendants received the death penalty in less
- 3:57Speaker 3: than half of those cases. Prosecute Gregory Butler struck seventy
- 4:02Speaker 3: five percent of black jurors in Baycote's trial, but just
- 4:05Speaker 3: twenty three percent of non black jurors. Judge Sermons found
- 4:09Speaker 3: Butler's explanation unconvincing, siding cases where white jurors with similar
- 4:14Speaker 3: views on the death penalty were allowed to serve. Baycote's
- 4:18Speaker 3: death sentence was already commuted to life without parole last
- 4:22Speaker 3: year by then Governor Roy Cooper, but this ruling could
- 4:25Speaker 3: affect other death row inmates with similar claims. The North
- 4:29Speaker 3: Carolina Department of Justice as it plans to appeal.
