Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Welcome to an episode of Legally Brunette. I
- 0:04Speaker 1: will be your host today Emily Simpson with Shane Shane. Okay,
- 0:09Speaker 1: we are going to take a little visit back to
- 0:12Speaker 1: a case we've already talked about a couple of times.
- 0:14Speaker 1: It is the Anna Koepner case, which is ongoing. If
- 0:19Speaker 1: you don't recognize the name, let's just do a little refresher.
- 0:22Speaker 1: This happened back in November of twenty twenty five, so
- 0:25Speaker 1: it's not too long ago. But this was the eighteen
- 0:28Speaker 1: year old cheerleader Anna Kaepner, who was murdered on November
- 0:32Speaker 1: seventh of twenty twenty five aboard the Carnival cruise ship
- 0:36Speaker 1: called Horizon. Her stepbrother, sixteen year old Timothy Hudson. His
- 0:41Speaker 1: name has now come out because he's now charged as
- 0:44Speaker 1: an adult, but if you remember, originally they just called
- 0:47Speaker 1: him t right, So his name is Timothy Hudson. He
- 0:51Speaker 1: is accused of raping and killing her while they shared
- 0:54Speaker 1: a cabin in international waters. So the reason we're doing
- 0:58Speaker 1: an update on this case is because it was recently
- 1:00Speaker 1: just kind of all over the news. There are lots
- 1:02Speaker 1: of articles that came out. There was a recent hearing
- 1:05Speaker 1: in this case where the prosecution made a motion that
- 1:09Speaker 1: he should be detained because I don't know if you know,
- 1:12Speaker 1: but ever since this has happened, he has been living
- 1:14Speaker 1: with his maternal.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Uncle as a because he's a mine. Is he a minor?
- 1:19Speaker 1: He is a miner. He's sixteen years old.
- 1:20Speaker 2: I think that was the big deal, right, he was
- 1:22Speaker 2: a minor, so they didn't they didn't hold him.
- 1:24Speaker 1: They didn't hold him. So then when he was indicted
- 1:28Speaker 1: by a grand jury, he was indicted as an adult.
- 1:31Speaker 1: So now he's in the federal court system.
- 1:34Speaker 2: He's in custy.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Well he's not, so he just went to a hearing.
- 1:38Speaker 1: This has just happened recently, and this is what all
- 1:40Speaker 1: the buzz has been about. And this is why I
- 1:42Speaker 1: wanted to do an update episode on this because I
- 1:44Speaker 1: think a lot of people were confused as to why
- 1:46Speaker 1: the judge did not detain him. He is still living
- 1:51Speaker 1: with his uncle, so he was originally charged as a miner.
- 1:54Speaker 1: This is back in February of twenty twenty six. Timothy
- 1:59Speaker 1: Hudson's case began moving from the juvenile court to the
- 2:03Speaker 1: adult court. On March tenth of twenty twenty six, Judge
- 2:07Speaker 1: Beth Bloom ordered the transfer of him being within the
- 2:11Speaker 1: juvenile system to adult prosecution, which prompted a federal grand
- 2:16Speaker 1: jury indictment. Then, on April thirteenth of twenty twenty six,
- 2:21Speaker 1: he was formally indicted as an adult on charges of
- 2:24Speaker 1: first degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse. He is pleaded
- 2:29Speaker 1: not guilty to both those charges.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Did he share a cabin with her? Did we know
- 2:33Speaker 2: that now? Because I think last time we weren't certain.
- 2:35Speaker 2: But you mentioned they shared a cabin.
- 2:36Speaker 1: They shared a cabin, and also she had a half
- 2:40Speaker 1: brother that also shared the cabin, who I believe is
- 2:43Speaker 1: ten years old, So the three of them were sharing
- 2:46Speaker 1: a cabin. As a parent, I want to know your
- 2:49Speaker 1: thoughts on a stepbrother and stepsister. She's eighteen, he's sixteen
- 2:53Speaker 1: sharing a cabin.
- 2:55Speaker 2: To me, well, if he's prone to killing, I wouldn't
- 2:58Speaker 2: suggest that they share a cabin, right.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I agree with you on that one. However, at this point,
- 3:02Speaker 1: we don't know he's prone to killing. We just know
- 3:04Speaker 1: that she's an eighteen year old attractive, pretty cheerly cheerleader,
- 3:09Speaker 1: and he's a sixteen year old male. And also there's
- 3:13Speaker 1: been some allegations that the parents should have been unnotice because.
- 3:17Speaker 2: It's a history.
- 3:17Speaker 1: There was a history that I've read about in some articles,
- 3:21Speaker 1: and some people have given some interviews saying that he
- 3:23Speaker 1: had an infatuation with her, and even her ex boyfriend
- 3:27Speaker 1: came forward and gave an interview and said that he
- 3:29Speaker 1: was on a FaceTime with her and the stepbrother came
- 3:32Speaker 1: into the room and got on top of her and
- 3:35Speaker 1: was sexual towards her, oh like, physically inappropriate, inappropriate exactly.
- 3:41Speaker 2: I mean, he was probably passing it off as being funny,
- 3:43Speaker 2: but he was being inappropriate, and I.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Believe that there was an attraction and an infatuation there. Now,
- 3:51Speaker 1: as a parent, there's no way I would let stepsiblings
- 3:54Speaker 1: share a room because you can call them brothers and
- 3:56Speaker 1: sisters all day long, but at the end of the day,
- 3:58Speaker 1: they're step siblings. They're still eighteen and sixteen, and they
- 4:02Speaker 1: still have hormones raging, and he clearly has an attraction
- 4:05Speaker 1: to her. So I don't know if they were trying
- 4:07Speaker 1: to save money or what.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Those cabins, Yeah, crises are costly, They are costly, and
- 4:12Speaker 2: then what you can do a whole It's not like
- 4:15Speaker 2: one overnight, So you spend like one hundred and fifty
- 4:17Speaker 2: bucks on an extra room. It's like, however long the
- 4:20Speaker 2: trip is a whole week, they'd have to have the
- 4:22Speaker 2: cabin and.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Right, But you're saying that they shouldn't have spent the
- 4:26Speaker 1: extra money for them.
- 4:27Speaker 2: No, I'm saying I can understand them probably thinking let's
- 4:30Speaker 2: squeeze all the kids together.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's that those cabins are tiny.
- 4:36Speaker 1: They are tiny. That's what I'm saying. That is a
- 4:38Speaker 1: very awkward situation for step siblings.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I wasn't saying it was okay. I was saying I
- 4:41Speaker 2: understand probably why a family would think, let's bunch of
- 4:45Speaker 2: you all together. Do the parents now separate?
- 4:48Speaker 1: No, they're still together.
- 4:49Speaker 2: That's why I mean, isn't that odd? What do you mean?
- 4:52Speaker 2: Can you think that, well, like your your son killed
- 4:54Speaker 2: my daughter?
- 4:55Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I've thought about that. It's that's an
- 4:57Speaker 1: awkward that's an awkward situation.
- 4:59Speaker 2: I'm not say split up. I'm just saying, like, that's
- 5:02Speaker 2: that makes for interesting dinner conversation.
- 5:04Speaker 1: It does. But the way I understand it is so
- 5:06Speaker 1: it is the biological father, and it is a step mother,
- 5:10Speaker 1: and then it's the stepmother's son is Timothy Hudson, and
- 5:13Speaker 1: they all went on this cruise together. So the way
- 5:16Speaker 1: I understand it is they are still together, the dad
- 5:19Speaker 1: and the stepmom. However, I read and I'm sure it's
- 5:22Speaker 1: true that they completely cut off the minor son, the
- 5:27Speaker 1: Timothy Hudson, like they have nothing to do with him.
- 5:30Speaker 1: That's why he went to go live with the uncle,
- 5:32Speaker 1: the maternal.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Uncle, which to me, well, now you want to investigate
- 5:35Speaker 2: the uncle, why do you have a history? Let's check
- 5:38Speaker 2: your computer.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Well, here's also the thing I was. I mean that
- 5:40Speaker 1: goes through my mind. Okay, she's murdered on a cruise ship.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Everyone's pretty sure who it was. They have to take
- 5:48Speaker 1: the cruise ship back. Oh it's well, we're going to
- 5:52Speaker 1: get into that because there's a lot of evidence that
- 5:54Speaker 1: just points directly to him. I mean, they shared the
- 5:55Speaker 1: room together.
- 5:56Speaker 2: But there's ten year old boy.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Right, we'll get into that. But my point is when
- 6:01Speaker 1: the when the ship comes back and docks, I mean,
- 6:04Speaker 1: they have to make a call because what do they
- 6:06Speaker 1: this kid's with them on vacation. I mean, can you
- 6:08Speaker 1: imagine what's going on? Like the chaos and that family.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I mean they're like, we're not going to take him
- 6:14Speaker 1: home with us. He just murdered Anna.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Well, I think at the time it wasn't certain. It
- 6:19Speaker 2: was just more of the tragedy of her death. And
- 6:21Speaker 2: I'm sure they had a lot of questions and stuff.
- 6:25Speaker 2: But I bet you that they you know, you're not
- 6:27Speaker 2: going to be so quick to accuse your kid.
- 6:30Speaker 1: No, but I think that they were pretty I think
- 6:32Speaker 1: they were pretty well aware of what happened in who
- 6:34Speaker 1: it was once the ship docked, and I think he
- 6:37Speaker 1: went to live with the oh from that point. From
- 6:40Speaker 1: that point, well, see the uncle.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Why is the uncle okay with housing a murder?
- 6:46Speaker 1: You know, the uncle also has two minor children that
- 6:48Speaker 1: live in the home. And this kid who's sixteen, who
- 6:50Speaker 1: committed a rape and murder has been living in the
- 6:53Speaker 1: same home with the uncle who has two minor children.
- 6:56Speaker 1: All Right, the case is being prosecuted in federal court
- 6:59Speaker 1: because we've talked to about this before. This happened in
- 7:01Speaker 1: international waters, so that makes it a federal case. That
- 7:04Speaker 1: means that there is no state that has jurisdiction. That's
- 7:07Speaker 1: why this case is so murky, and that's why this
- 7:10Speaker 1: judge I don't think he knew what to do with
- 7:12Speaker 1: Timothy Hudson. Because they're not used to having miners in
- 7:15Speaker 1: the federal system.
- 7:17Speaker 2: They're like, we never thought about this scenario. What do
- 7:20Speaker 2: we do?
- 7:21Speaker 1: So throughout this whole process, he's never been incarcerated. The
- 7:24Speaker 1: reason that he was in court recently.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Because because it's the complications that the internet in that
- 7:31Speaker 2: international waters poses is the fact that it automatically goes
- 7:35Speaker 2: to a federal court. And here we have a minor,
- 7:38Speaker 2: and maybe under some circumstances it would have been under
- 7:41Speaker 2: it in the state court.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Well, normally state courts deal with minors, and they're equipped
- 7:46Speaker 1: to deal with minors, and they have facilities for miners.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Right, Oh yeah, they have practices in place, they have
- 7:52Speaker 2: practices in place handle it. And here it's just they
- 7:55Speaker 2: never thought about it. They just thought international criminals are
- 7:58Speaker 2: always at age adults.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Right. So now you have this miner who's sixteen years old,
- 8:02Speaker 1: who's going through the federal court system. Prosecution moves to
- 8:06Speaker 1: have him detained because he's he's now being tried as
- 8:08Speaker 1: an adult. He goes before a federal judge recently, and
- 8:11Speaker 1: the federal judge, I don't think he knows what to
- 8:14Speaker 1: do with him. So that's what we're going to get into.
- 8:16Speaker 1: So they go to court recently and the prosecutors outline
- 8:19Speaker 1: their key evidence at this is the recent hearing. So basically,
- 8:23Speaker 1: you know, prosecutors get up and they say the reason
- 8:25Speaker 1: that he needs to be detained is because of all
- 8:27Speaker 1: these things that occurred. So surveillance footage shows Timothy Hudson
- 8:32Speaker 1: and Anna Kaepner entering their shared stateroom around seven thirty pm,
- 8:36Speaker 1: the night before her body was found Kepner. This is
- 8:39Speaker 1: Anna appeared to be alive as late as eight fourteen PM,
- 8:42Speaker 1: because this was the last time that she had any
- 8:44Speaker 1: social media activity. I believe it was snapchat eight eight
- 8:48Speaker 1: fourteen pm.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Pm OKA, but she never left the room.
- 8:51Speaker 1: At ten thirteen pm, cameras captured Timothy Hudson peering out
- 8:56Speaker 1: into the hallway before leaving alone. He actually opens the door,
- 9:00Speaker 1: looks out, looks both ways to make sure no one's there,
- 9:03Speaker 1: and then he leaves the room.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Takes his gloves off the o his room does so
- 9:08Speaker 2: eight p fifteen Valie fifteen. She's in her room with
- 9:11Speaker 2: social media activity and two hours later he exits and.
- 9:16Speaker 1: He's looking pretty suspicious when he exits ship WiFi data
- 9:21Speaker 1: indicated that Timothy Hudson also took Kepner's phone to another
- 9:25Speaker 1: deck and likely discarded it. Was this came out recently
- 9:28Speaker 1: in this hearing. I didn't know about that previously. It
- 9:32Speaker 1: was recovered in the trash bin by a crew member.
- 9:35Speaker 1: So that shows that's in trial. When they get to trial,
- 9:38Speaker 1: they're going to show that he knew that he did
- 9:40Speaker 1: something wrong, right, because he's trying to cover up evidence.
- 9:42Speaker 1: At that point, we talked about the DNA stemen was
- 9:53Speaker 1: recovered from her body and described by prosecutors as having
- 9:56Speaker 1: a high probability. I love high probability. What was it?
- 9:59Speaker 1: One in sceptilium? Also, this is interesting they I've read
- 10:05Speaker 1: this a couple of times in a couple of articles,
- 10:07Speaker 1: and they put it at the very bottom of the
- 10:08Speaker 1: article and they do not elaborate on it. But there's
- 10:11Speaker 1: also she also had sexual relations with someone else on
- 10:16Speaker 1: the ship. Yeah, because and I don't know how they
- 10:20Speaker 1: know that because it said that there wasn't separate DNA found,
- 10:25Speaker 1: but they they do.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Maybe that was just known socially, like I.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Don't know, or if someone else or the guy she
- 10:31Speaker 1: had sex with, like found out she was dead. And
- 10:34Speaker 1: he came forward and was like, I had sex with her,
- 10:36Speaker 1: but it wasn't me. But I feel like they don't
- 10:38Speaker 1: elaborate on it, and even in the articles, they'll just
- 10:40Speaker 1: kind of sneak it in at the end because I
- 10:42Speaker 1: feel like maybe they don't want to make a big
- 10:43Speaker 1: deal out of it, like it's victim shaming in some
- 10:46Speaker 1: way where they're trying.
- 10:47Speaker 2: To make it like victim shaman is talking about the
- 10:49Speaker 2: DNA and all the scenarios.
- 10:51Speaker 1: No. I know, but I'm saying, I'm sure the defense
- 10:54Speaker 1: is going to say that the sex between Timothy Hudson
- 10:57Speaker 1: and Anna Keepner was consensual, And so I'm just saying
- 11:01Speaker 1: maybe they're they're not elaborating on it and just kind
- 11:04Speaker 1: of leaving it out so it doesn't look like she
- 11:06Speaker 1: was just out in about on a cruise ship, you know,
- 11:09Speaker 1: just being sexually active with a bunch of people. So
- 11:13Speaker 1: I've seen it a couple of times, but it's always
- 11:15Speaker 1: buried in the articles and there's never any more details
- 11:18Speaker 1: as to who, when, what, where, and how they know
- 11:21Speaker 1: about that. Also, the medical examiner determined that Anna Kaepner
- 11:25Speaker 1: died from mechanical asphyxiation. They do say that they think
- 11:30Speaker 1: that he put her in a choke hold in order
- 11:33Speaker 1: to murder her.
- 11:35Speaker 2: Yeah, and also as opposed to die like.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Or with his hands. They think he like did the
- 11:41Speaker 1: choke hold from behind. Yeah, And they believe that he
- 11:46Speaker 1: had her in a chokehold for between three to five
- 11:49Speaker 1: minutes with enough force to rupture her ear drum, because
- 11:52Speaker 1: I do believe there was a lot of bruising on
- 11:54Speaker 1: her neck and there was also blood found in her
- 11:56Speaker 1: ear drum. So that's how they determined that it was
- 11:58Speaker 1: a choke hold and probably from three to five minutes. Also,
- 12:02Speaker 1: what came out in this trial was that you.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Can you imagine that now that going on in a
- 12:07Speaker 2: cabin and wouldn't there be noise hopefully from her that
- 12:13Speaker 2: those cabins, I mean, it's not like they're from I.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Would think, I mean, I would think they're very small cabins.
- 12:21Speaker 1: It's taking three to five minutes to ever in a
- 12:23Speaker 1: choke hold and strangle her.
- 12:26Speaker 2: But prior to the choke holds, when maybe she someone
- 12:28Speaker 2: might shout out and resist and push back. But if
- 12:32Speaker 2: you're in the choke hold, maybe it would just be
- 12:34Speaker 2: shuffling around, but not you're not able to scream I
- 12:36Speaker 2: don't know. Well, obviously no one heard anything or no
- 12:38Speaker 2: one came forward, right.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Also this came out in this most recent trial where
- 12:45Speaker 1: prosecution wanted the judge to have him detained. Her underwear
- 12:50Speaker 1: was also found like up inside of her, so.
- 12:54Speaker 2: You can tell it was a position that showed that.
- 12:57Speaker 1: It wasn't consensual, that it was most likely I mean aggressive,
- 13:01Speaker 1: aggressive and forced.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Right.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Also, I was thinking he's not I mean, I know
- 13:06Speaker 1: he's sixteen. This isn't a smart kid by any stretch
- 13:09Speaker 1: of the imagination. But you're on a cruise ship and
- 13:11Speaker 1: you're trying to get rid of evidence. Why wouldn't you
- 13:13Speaker 1: throw her phone into the ocean.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Or put it under the bed?
- 13:17Speaker 1: Oh where her body is? Y?
- 13:18Speaker 2: Yeah, he did. He thought that was a good hiding spot.
- 13:21Speaker 1: He did hide the body under the bed and then
- 13:23Speaker 1: he put life jackets on top of her and like
- 13:25Speaker 1: a sheet.
- 13:26Speaker 2: And how is getting rid of the phone doing? Was
- 13:28Speaker 2: there anything found on the phone?
- 13:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about what was found on the
- 13:31Speaker 1: phone at this point. I mean they did say that
- 13:32Speaker 1: her last snapchat interaction was eight fourteen, so they've done
- 13:35Speaker 1: forensics on it. But otherwise that you.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Get that without the phone too, probably.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Probably, But I don't know about any other type of
- 13:40Speaker 1: evidence that's on her phone. I'm just saying, this guy,
- 13:44Speaker 1: he leaves the room, he looks suspicious, He goes through
- 13:46Speaker 1: the hallway, he takes a trip to another deck. He
- 13:48Speaker 1: throws her phone away in the trash bend. Why wouldn't
- 13:51Speaker 1: you throw it overboard? But all right, Hudson's defence team.
- 13:56Speaker 1: So Timothy Hudson's defense team zeroed in on gap and
- 14:00Speaker 1: the forensic investigation. So the defense kept saying during this
- 14:04Speaker 1: most recent hearing, your honor, there's lots of gaps in this.
- 14:09Speaker 1: So they're saying he's innocent, and they're saying there's a
- 14:11Speaker 1: lot of gaps. And then I know, the judge asked,
- 14:13Speaker 1: what gaps are you talking about? And the defense said, well,
- 14:16Speaker 1: we're not interesting in trying the case right now, So
- 14:19Speaker 1: I don't know what these gaps are. I don't know
- 14:21Speaker 1: if they're going to focus on the fact that she
- 14:22Speaker 1: did have some relations, some sexual relations with someone else
- 14:26Speaker 1: on the ship, that'll be interesting.
- 14:29Speaker 2: She was okay, so fine, So what's the argument, Oh,
- 14:34Speaker 2: she slept with this other guy or these other guys
- 14:36Speaker 2: or whatever, so it could have been them. But his
- 14:40Speaker 2: DNA was found on her. He left the cabin after
- 14:46Speaker 2: she was presumably murdered. He hid her phone like fingers
- 14:52Speaker 2: point to him, not to some random guy that she
- 14:54Speaker 2: had a little fling with.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Well, the most damning evidence is the surveillance. It shows
- 14:58Speaker 1: them both enter the cab. Entry shows them both enter,
- 15:02Speaker 1: It shows him leave at some point, and then he
- 15:04Speaker 1: goes back in. She never leaves, and the and the brother,
- 15:07Speaker 1: the biological brother does come by at some point. I
- 15:10Speaker 1: don't remember the younger one. The younger one, I think
- 15:12Speaker 1: he's around ten, but he comes by in order to
- 15:15Speaker 1: come into the room, and Timothy Hudson won't let him
- 15:17Speaker 1: in the room. He makes him sit outside. He says
- 15:20Speaker 1: he's changing his clothes. He won't let him in, and
- 15:22Speaker 1: then he waits in the hallway for a couple of minutes.
- 15:24Speaker 1: He goes in, and then he ends up spending the
- 15:26Speaker 1: night in that room and sleeps on the bed with
- 15:29Speaker 1: his sister underneath the bed and not knowing that she
- 15:32Speaker 1: was deceased was under there right. So not only does
- 15:38Speaker 1: the defense say that there's gaps and you know this
- 15:40Speaker 1: investigation and in the forensics, they also questioned the FBI's
- 15:44Speaker 1: lead case agent about whether DNA was ever collected from
- 15:48Speaker 1: injuries on Kepner's neck, and the defense also highlighted that
- 15:51Speaker 1: the medical examiner made no determination about whether the person
- 15:54Speaker 1: who sexually assaulted Keepner was the same person who killed her. So, yeah,
- 15:58Speaker 1: I knew they were gonna that's what their defense is
- 16:01Speaker 1: going to be, like, it was consensual and someone else
- 16:04Speaker 1: could have right, But the surveillance video is going to
- 16:06Speaker 1: show that she goes in the room, she.
- 16:08Speaker 2: Never leaves the room.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Because the crime occurred on the cruise ship with multiple
- 16:12Speaker 1: people nearby, the defense is expected to argue that the
- 16:15Speaker 1: prosecution can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hudson was
- 16:18Speaker 1: the one who strangled her. I don't know how they're
- 16:20Speaker 1: going to get past that. I don't know how they're
- 16:21Speaker 1: going to try to plant reasonable doubt that someone else
- 16:24Speaker 1: was able to enter that room at some point. Not So,
- 16:28Speaker 1: the prosecution really honed in on the fact that they
- 16:31Speaker 1: were alone together in the cabin for three hours, that
- 16:33Speaker 1: her underwear was found inside of her, that the choke
- 16:37Speaker 1: hold lasted three to five minutes, and that he took
- 16:39Speaker 1: her cell phone and threw it away, and that the
- 16:42Speaker 1: DNA from the seaman matches Timothy Hudson, and also that
- 16:46Speaker 1: he's the type of person who snaps and does something
- 16:48Speaker 1: like that. So that's why they were arguing that he
- 16:50Speaker 1: needs to be detained and not be hanging out at
- 16:53Speaker 1: home with family. The defense argues that he is not
- 16:57Speaker 1: a flight risk, that he doesn't have a car, he
- 17:00Speaker 1: doesn't have a license, that he's been compliant so far,
- 17:03Speaker 1: he's attended all hearings, that he has a GPS monitor on,
- 17:07Speaker 1: and that basically that the uncle's you know over him,
- 17:12Speaker 1: and you know, has been taking care of him and
- 17:15Speaker 1: has made sure that he's been compliant, has gotten to
- 17:17Speaker 1: all these hearings, and he hasn't tried to flee. Where
- 17:20Speaker 1: the ya he's I believe Tampa.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Area is taking place in Florida.
- 17:26Speaker 1: And then but then the the hearings and the jurisdiction
- 17:30Speaker 1: is the Miami area.
- 17:31Speaker 2: What like, I know you don't have any nephews, but
- 17:35Speaker 2: if you had a.
- 17:36Speaker 1: Nephew, yeah, would I say come hang out with us?
- 17:39Speaker 1: And what's there going to say? Was his uncle like, oh, yeah,
- 17:41Speaker 1: I could use help with the kids. Can you come
- 17:42Speaker 1: stay with me? I have no idea, That's what I'm saying.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I would love to hear what that conversation was when
- 17:47Speaker 1: everyone got off the ship or or later. I don't
- 17:51Speaker 1: I can't imagine Timothy Hudson got off the ship and
- 17:53Speaker 1: then rode home with his mom and stepdad. I mean,
- 17:57Speaker 1: in what scenario would that have happened. I think he
- 18:00Speaker 1: had to have gone straight to the uncle immediately. So
- 18:05Speaker 1: the judge's ruling was basically a temporary ruling. And I
- 18:08Speaker 1: don't think this is what people understand because all the
- 18:10Speaker 1: headlines are like, he's not detained, he's still free, and
- 18:13Speaker 1: then everyone's like, why is he He's a rapist and allowed.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Right.
- 18:19Speaker 1: So basically what the judge said was he didn't know
- 18:22Speaker 1: what to do with him because it's federal court, so
- 18:25Speaker 1: he asked the US Marshal Service if they could do
- 18:27Speaker 1: some investigating to see if there are some type of
- 18:29Speaker 1: adolescent facilities that are near Tampa where his uncle is,
- 18:33Speaker 1: that could house him and detain him. So basically it
- 18:36Speaker 1: was a temporary ruling saying I need more information. I
- 18:40Speaker 1: need you guys to do some more investigation as to
- 18:42Speaker 1: somewhere we can put him.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Well, it was important because the judge probably doesn't want
- 18:45Speaker 2: to make a wrong move because it'll be used against him,
- 18:48Speaker 2: and it'll be used against you know, the system, and
- 18:52Speaker 2: maybe there's not due diligence or he was under dress
- 18:55Speaker 2: or something. So the judge is probably taking extra care
- 18:59Speaker 2: to make sure that the case goes through.
- 19:02Speaker 1: And I'm sure he doesn't want to put him into
- 19:04Speaker 1: an adult prison setting as a sixteen year old minor
- 19:07Speaker 1: because I I'm sure he's worried about his safety.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Well, no, because they do that. They do that, but
- 19:15Speaker 2: then why not.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Just detain him in an adult prison.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Then, because the judge doesn't want this to be all
- 19:23Speaker 2: messed up and bungled up that then they have a
- 19:27Speaker 2: case of like this evidence is inadmissible or he was
- 19:30Speaker 2: under dress or a lawsuit or something, and maybe he right,
- 19:34Speaker 2: Maybe he doesn't want to put him in an adult
- 19:35Speaker 2: prison because if he was wrongfully detained in an adult prison,
- 19:39Speaker 2: as would be found out later, and he was injured
- 19:41Speaker 2: or hurt, that wouldn't be good.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Right. So anyway, he is scheduled to go to trial
- 19:46Speaker 1: in September of twenty twenty six, which is a very
- 19:48Speaker 1: short time period. So I have a feeling there's not
- 19:50Speaker 1: going to be any detainment of him. He's probably going
- 19:52Speaker 1: to end up just staying with the uncle the entire
- 19:54Speaker 1: time until his trial in September, but we will definitely
- 19:57Speaker 1: follow the trial and keep you guys up to date
- 20:00Speaker 1: on that, and if there's any other information that comes.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Out about this case be added to your homicide tour.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I would like to add it. I mean, I feel
- 20:08Speaker 1: like logistically it's getting a little difficult because it would
- 20:10Speaker 1: have to be the Carnival Horizon cruise and if anyone
- 20:14Speaker 1: has been on the Carnival Horizon lately, let me know
- 20:16Speaker 1: what it's like. And if we could figure out what
- 20:19Speaker 1: room that they were in on that cruise ship, that
- 20:22Speaker 1: would be interesting as well. Also, can I just talk
- 20:25Speaker 1: about I saw lots of video because this is the
- 20:29Speaker 1: first time because he is now being tried as an adult.
- 20:31Speaker 1: They show his image, right, his name's Timothy Hush. They
- 20:35Speaker 1: show him showing up to court with his uncle. He's
- 20:37Speaker 1: walking into court with his uncle. It is very difficult
- 20:40Speaker 1: to look at a young sixteen year old boy.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Because he just looks like a young.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he looks like a young kid. I mean, you
- 20:48Speaker 1: know he's a monster because of what he did, But
- 20:50Speaker 1: then monster does not correspond with what you see he's
- 20:55Speaker 1: like this nice, clean cut you know, babyface kid with
- 20:59Speaker 1: a nice haircut and a button down on. He looks fifteen,
- 21:03Speaker 1: sixteen years old. He looks like a nice kid.
- 21:06Speaker 2: The kind of person they want on that jury. I
- 21:08Speaker 2: just that's why they dressed him up and cleaned him up,
- 21:11Speaker 2: probably if he wasn't already.
- 21:12Speaker 1: It's just very difficult to look at that and look
- 21:15Speaker 1: at him and think what he did in that room.
- 21:19Speaker 1: And it goes back to what we always talk about
- 21:20Speaker 1: about nature versus nurture. Was he always a killer? Was
- 21:24Speaker 1: he born that way?
- 21:25Speaker 2: No?
- 21:26Speaker 1: He was? Or he was? What circumstances made him snap
- 21:30Speaker 1: like that and strangle her for three to five minutes?
- 21:34Speaker 2: I mean that's a long time. I don't think. I
- 21:36Speaker 2: think it builds up over time, like maybe they have
- 21:38Speaker 2: these thoughts, you know, maybe short lived, but they have
- 21:41Speaker 2: these thoughts. It's not like he's clean cut, innocent the
- 21:44Speaker 2: whole time, never has a bad thought in his head
- 21:47Speaker 2: about murder or getting what he wants, and then it happens,
- 21:52Speaker 2: and then she denies him and so he snaps. I
- 21:54Speaker 2: don't imagine it's that. I imagine it was a slow
- 21:58Speaker 2: build up to this, not premeditated build up, but like, yeah,
- 22:04Speaker 2: his thoughts and he entertains him and he sees things
- 22:07Speaker 2: and then he has anger issues and you know, maybe
- 22:10Speaker 2: it's all subtle inside and then and then he snaps.
- 22:13Speaker 1: I mean for you to be able to put someone
- 22:15Speaker 1: in a choke hold for think about how long three
- 22:17Speaker 1: to five minutes.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Is, Oh, you want him dead?
- 22:19Speaker 1: I mean if we sat here for three to five minutes,
- 22:21Speaker 1: I mean it would feel like an eternity. That is
- 22:23Speaker 1: a long time. That's a long time for you to
- 22:26Speaker 1: think I probably shouldn't do this.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Yeah, and he just kept But I think some people
- 22:33Speaker 2: like Chris Watts when he killed his wife, he says
- 22:37Speaker 2: that it was just like kill was the only thing
- 22:40Speaker 2: on his mind. He like, he didn't say he blacked out,
- 22:43Speaker 2: but he kind of made it like he blacked out
- 22:45Speaker 2: with everything around him and it was just I want her.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Dead and he couldn't think about anything else, let it go,
- 22:51Speaker 1: like it was all consumed.
- 22:52Speaker 2: He said that, like that's what he was at. He
- 22:56Speaker 2: was just it was just kill and get her killed,
- 22:59Speaker 2: and that was it. Once he started.
- 23:09Speaker 1: We're going to talk about McKenzie Sherilla again. We already
- 23:11Speaker 1: did an episode on her, So if you guys haven't
- 23:13Speaker 1: listened to it yet, you could go back and listen
- 23:14Speaker 1: to it. It's called The Crash. It's on Netflix. We
- 23:17Speaker 1: wanted to do an update or talk about her more
- 23:19Speaker 1: because after The Crash came out and we recorded an episode,
- 23:23Speaker 1: I feel like even more information that was in Well.
- 23:26Speaker 2: I think the popularity does it right. The popularity causes
- 23:29Speaker 2: a lot of people to chime in and share and.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Yeah, and so now there's even more information, more content
- 23:35Speaker 1: creators out there talking about it, more people who know McKenzie,
- 23:39Speaker 1: her cell mates, there's jail house recordings, so much information
- 23:43Speaker 1: out there that we need to talk about McKenzie a
- 23:45Speaker 1: little bit more. So just to do a little background
- 23:48Speaker 1: in case you don't know McKenzie. Sherilla was convicted in
- 23:51Speaker 1: twenty twenty three for the twenty twenty two deaths of
- 23:55Speaker 1: her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagains. Cocuters
- 24:00Speaker 1: argued she intentionally accelerated her car and drove into a
- 24:04Speaker 1: wall at nearly one hundred miles per hour, and this
- 24:07Speaker 1: occurred in Strongsville, Ohio, killing both of her passengers. She
- 24:12Speaker 1: was seventeen at the time and was tried as an adult.
- 24:14Speaker 1: A judge found her guilty of murder and sentenced her
- 24:18Speaker 1: to life in prison with the earliest parole eligibility in
- 24:21Speaker 1: twenty thirty seven. So let's talk about a little bit
- 24:24Speaker 1: about her prison phone calls that have been coming out. So,
- 24:27Speaker 1: in a recent prison phone call, she claims she's going
- 24:31Speaker 1: to be a life coach after she's released. So, in
- 24:34Speaker 1: a prison phone call obtained by TMZ, Sharrilla told her
- 24:37Speaker 1: mother she wants to become a life coach when she's released.
- 24:40Speaker 2: First of all, wait what.
- 24:43Speaker 1: I said it twice there? Yeah, it's not resonating.
- 24:48Speaker 2: She has a better shot at being a hairstylist she
- 24:51Speaker 2: does a life coach.
- 24:53Speaker 1: And also what kind of person is she.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Going to go to? And then she's going to participate
- 24:57Speaker 2: in driving school. Yes, she's going to be a I mean,
- 25:01Speaker 2: where does it end. At least she has some dreams.
- 25:04Speaker 1: She at least she has goals. I guess we'll just
- 25:06Speaker 1: go with that. Her mother suggested she could use her
- 25:09Speaker 1: experiences to help others, to which Sorilla responded, I'm gonna
- 25:14Speaker 1: be a life coach and stuff. I'm just going to
- 25:16Speaker 1: be everything. I'm gonna do everything.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Is that how she said it too.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly how she said it.
- 25:20Speaker 2: She has like I'm going to do everything.
- 25:22Speaker 1: I do everything. I'm gonna be everything. I'm gonna do everything.
- 25:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna be a life coach and stuff.
- 25:27Speaker 1: You know what she really needs to do. She really
- 25:29Speaker 1: needs to work on.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Her grammar and jump off a cliff.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Spanned her vocabulary while she's in prison. She needs to
- 25:35Speaker 1: read books.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Oh, there's a lot of things she needs to do
- 25:37Speaker 2: in prison.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:39Speaker 2: When she was not yet in jail, right, like they
- 25:42Speaker 2: were kind of following her, but they didn't detain her yet,
- 25:45Speaker 2: and she was like smoking pot, we driving while driving,
- 25:50Speaker 2: and I assume she parties and drinks on it. Then
- 25:52Speaker 2: you go to jail and it's all gone. What can't gone, Well,
- 25:55Speaker 2: all your cravings. You can't drink, Yeah, can't smoke and
- 25:58Speaker 2: do any other drugs, can't party, came to listen to music,
- 26:01Speaker 2: probably like you can't do anything. Yeah, but I think
- 26:03Speaker 2: she had but cold turkey.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think she. I don't I'm not sure
- 26:08Speaker 1: exactly where she's detained, but she seems to have. I mean,
- 26:12Speaker 1: she's had a girlfriend in prison. She gets in trouble
- 26:14Speaker 1: all the time. I mean they're having sexual activities.
- 26:18Speaker 2: I say it though, like like with all prisoners they
- 26:20Speaker 2: go to jail and all sin, it's like it's all
- 26:22Speaker 2: cut off.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:23Speaker 2: And if they are like hardcore users or something, I
- 26:27Speaker 2: don't know. This just always crossing my mind as to
- 26:29Speaker 2: like that's the punishment for them.
- 26:31Speaker 1: Right In a jail cell obtained by TMZ On June first,
- 26:35Speaker 1: Shrilla complained to her mother about boredom behind bars.
- 26:38Speaker 2: See, she's very bored.
- 26:40Speaker 1: She expressed frustration over limited commissary access. How am I
- 26:45Speaker 1: going to make this one book stretch?
- 26:47Speaker 2: Oh?
- 26:47Speaker 1: I guess she does read An pushed her mother to
- 26:50Speaker 1: figure out this iPad shit asap so she could stay
- 26:53Speaker 1: in touch with family and friends.
- 26:54Speaker 2: I don't get that they have iPads. Yeah, and they
- 26:58Speaker 2: just chat.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Yeah. At one point, she was complaining about the time,
- 27:02Speaker 1: saying it's only three thirty? How was it only three thirty?
- 27:05Speaker 1: When her mother suggested getting a prison job to pass
- 27:08Speaker 1: the time, that's probably the only time or.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Why she fell some job applications.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Make Useful suggested that she get a job.
- 27:15Speaker 2: Ever, I know, the first time my mom told me
- 27:17Speaker 2: get a job was when I was in prison.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Yeah, right, because we know she wasn't working before. She
- 27:22Speaker 1: was an influencer right.
- 27:23Speaker 2: With her boyfriends influencer.
- 27:25Speaker 1: So when her mother suggested getting a prison job to
- 27:27Speaker 1: pass the time, Sherilla said she'd been told her charges
- 27:31Speaker 1: likely disqualified her, though she did admit she hadn't actually
- 27:34Speaker 1: confirmed it with staff, adding that they're probably not going
- 27:37Speaker 1: to let me get a job. She said she was
- 27:39Speaker 1: also so irritated and just wanted more books or cards
- 27:42Speaker 1: to keep busy. I know she also gets makeup and
- 27:45Speaker 1: stuff from her mom in prison. I'm not sure how
- 27:47Speaker 1: that works with that, but she does. I know some
- 27:49Speaker 1: of her prison cellmates. Have you been out there talking
- 27:53Speaker 1: and you know everyone's jumping on the McKenzie Sherrilla bandwagon.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Anyone that knows her is out there talking about it
- 28:00Speaker 1: right well, in a certain sense, yes, Mackenzie's mom calls
- 28:05Speaker 1: dominic Russo's family evil and another jail cell call obtained
- 28:10Speaker 1: by TMZ Natalie Sharrilla this is the mom directed heartless
- 28:13Speaker 1: words at dominic Russo's family while she and her daughter
- 28:16Speaker 1: discussed testimony from Mackenzie's murder trial. Natalie told her daughter
- 28:21Speaker 1: that dom would be beside his fricking self, over what
- 28:24Speaker 1: was said in court, and when Mackenzie asked why Dom's
- 28:27Speaker 1: brother Angelo was such an effing liar, her mother replied,
- 28:32Speaker 1: they're just evil people. Baby, I'm sorry, don't think on it.
- 28:35Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine the audacity of telling your
- 28:39Speaker 1: daughter that the victims that she killed in a car
- 28:41Speaker 1: crash are evil people?
- 28:45Speaker 2: They cut off the ties with the mom. They'd be like,
- 28:47Speaker 2: you're using this privilege here, you know, worsening, You're feeding
- 28:51Speaker 2: the beast.
- 28:52Speaker 1: They're also I'm sure you've seen this because this is
- 28:54Speaker 1: all over. She also speaks in like a pig Latin
- 28:57Speaker 1: with her mom.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Well I know that because you told me, but I don't.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's where they think that they're so clever.
- 29:05Speaker 2: They can decipher it.
- 29:06Speaker 1: You can decipher it, right. She also did that in
- 29:08Speaker 1: front of a prosecutor. Or not a prosecutor. She did
- 29:10Speaker 1: that in front of an investigator when they detained her
- 29:12Speaker 1: and they were questioning her, I believe, right in front
- 29:15Speaker 1: of the investigator, she was speaking whatever this this language
- 29:18Speaker 1: is with her mom and she said, can I just
- 29:22Speaker 1: tell them that I passed out? When she was talking
- 29:24Speaker 1: about like the car crash and why she was driving
- 29:26Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour. But they decoded that they knew.
- 29:29Speaker 1: They now know that she was saying, can I just
- 29:31Speaker 1: lie to this guy?
- 29:32Speaker 2: And you know which means she did not pass out.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Exactly, It's exactly what it means. McKenzie's also had thirty
- 29:39Speaker 1: six conduct reports so far. Here are just some of
- 29:42Speaker 1: her most recent. It's a consensual sexual conduct, being out
- 29:47Speaker 1: of place, encouraging or creating a disturbance, being out of place,
- 29:50Speaker 1: sexual harassment, disturbance, misuse of authorized medication.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Dur possession of contraband, disturbance, being out of place, being
- 30:00Speaker 2: out of place, being out of place, disturbance.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Basically, she doesn't follow rules at all. Hell, and you
- 30:06Speaker 1: know what I was thinking of. Remember when we long
- 30:08Speaker 1: time back in the beginning we first did episodes, we
- 30:10Speaker 1: were talking. We followed Menindez obviously, and we followed them
- 30:13Speaker 1: all the way to the point where they went to
- 30:16Speaker 1: their parole hearing, and we were anticipating whether they were
- 30:19Speaker 1: going to get out on parole or not. And do
- 30:21Speaker 1: you remember that they did not? Especially it was not
- 30:25Speaker 1: Eric was the other one Lyle How they talked about
- 30:28Speaker 1: how he wasn't going to get out on parole because
- 30:30Speaker 1: he couldn't follow rules because he had a cell phone,
- 30:34Speaker 1: and that was the reason why he couldn't get out
- 30:35Speaker 1: on parole. This girl, I mean, she's up for parole
- 30:38Speaker 1: in twenty thirty seven, which isn't that too far.
- 30:42Speaker 2: Off, but it remind me again she was a minor
- 30:44Speaker 2: when she committed the crime.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Right, seventeen and eighteen when she went to.
- 30:48Speaker 2: As an adult.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Right. Yes, but I'm just saying this so far, she
- 30:52Speaker 1: hasn't even been in prison that long. She's already has
- 30:54Speaker 1: thirty six instractions.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Own her. She's a great kid, don't worry about it.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Well, and everybody else is evil and do whatever you want.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Right.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Also, Mackenzie Sharilla has a sister that no one knew about.
- 31:04Speaker 1: I did not know that. I assumed she was an
- 31:06Speaker 1: only child. Well, and not only just because they don't
- 31:09Speaker 1: show any siblings in the documentaries. They don't make reference
- 31:13Speaker 1: to siblings. You don't see a sibling in.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Cause it's a younger sibling, might be no.
- 31:17Speaker 1: An older sister. I just find it interesting that Danny
- 31:20Speaker 1: Sharilla is Mackenzie's older sister, and she did not participate
- 31:24Speaker 1: in the Netflix documentary and has not spoken publicly about
- 31:27Speaker 1: her sister. She probably is hiding and changed her identity
- 31:31Speaker 1: and now wears a wig if she's assaulted.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Every time her mom disciplines her, she's like, really, really,
- 31:37Speaker 2: you're going to say that to me when you're sending
- 31:39Speaker 2: you won't buy me makeup or you're going to buy
- 31:41Speaker 2: McKenzie makeup.
- 31:42Speaker 1: At prison Internet sluice discovered Danny's identity. This is the
- 31:46Speaker 1: older sister because Natalie, the mom, was telling Mackenzie and
- 31:49Speaker 1: a jail cell call that she and the dad took
- 31:52Speaker 1: Danny's bed frame away because she was hiding food under
- 31:56Speaker 1: her bed.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Kids do that? Oh, yes, our kids don't hide food
- 32:01Speaker 2: in the red They had rappers under their bed.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Yah, Annabelle's a big rapper rider. We find that everywhere. Yeah,
- 32:08Speaker 1: But do you think that they discipline this older child?
- 32:11Speaker 1: And then McKenzie was just the upper one, so she
- 32:13Speaker 1: was just.
- 32:13Speaker 2: They were like whatever you want to know.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Many people are shocked that Natalie and Dave reprimanded this
- 32:19Speaker 1: daughter at all, considering that they have never punished Mackenzie
- 32:22Speaker 1: for any of her behavior. This kid's just trying to eat, right,
- 32:26Speaker 1: She's just like eating. They take her bed frame away
- 32:28Speaker 1: while McKenzie's McKenzie's out smoking pot and driving driving vehicles
- 32:34Speaker 1: around and they know about it, and they don't do
- 32:36Speaker 1: anything about it. You know. I also saw an interview
- 32:39Speaker 1: with the dad, you know, McKenzie's dad, where he claims
- 32:44Speaker 1: that the only reason Mackenzie is in jail is because
- 32:47Speaker 1: dominic Russo's family, I guess is well known in Strongsville
- 32:51Speaker 1: or has some connections in Strongsville. So he made it
- 32:54Speaker 1: like that's the only reason that she's in jail because
- 32:57Speaker 1: they have some kind of influence, Not that she killed
- 33:00Speaker 1: to people, not that she drove a car one hundred
- 33:02Speaker 1: miles an hour into.
- 33:03Speaker 2: A wall, not that she's a psycho, just.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Because Dominick's family has some type of influence.
- 33:10Speaker 2: Also just as last thing I influence to enforce the
- 33:13Speaker 2: law of murder.
- 33:15Speaker 1: Right, Also just the last thing I want to touch
- 33:17Speaker 1: on with Mackenzie. Sherrilla, Dominic Russo's sister, her name's Christine,
- 33:21Speaker 1: is pushing to modernize Ohio's Son of Sam law, arguing
- 33:25Speaker 1: that it's too outdated to address how convicted criminals can
- 33:29Speaker 1: now profit through social media. The law was named after
- 33:32Speaker 1: serial killer David Berkowitz, and it was designed to prevent
- 33:36Speaker 1: violent criminals from financially benefiting from their crimes, but most
- 33:40Speaker 1: state statutes were written before platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and
- 33:44Speaker 1: podcasts existed. Christine says Sharrilla has gained followers and donations
- 33:50Speaker 1: linked to her notoriety, including attention from the Netflix documentary
- 33:53Speaker 1: The Crash. Christina, this is we're talking about. Dom's sister.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Christina says that no victims family should have to watch
- 34:00Speaker 1: the person who killed their loved one turn that crime
- 34:02Speaker 1: into followers, donations, sponsorships, documentaries, social media income, or any
- 34:07Speaker 1: other type of person.
- 34:08Speaker 2: In your face all the time too.
- 34:10Speaker 1: You know, yeah, you know when we talk about laws
- 34:12Speaker 1: and things evolving, that son of Sam law is a
- 34:15Speaker 1: really good law. But it does not It needs to
- 34:17Speaker 1: be expanded because now people don't make money. Well, I
- 34:21Speaker 1: mean you can, you can write a book, but it's
- 34:23Speaker 1: very outdated. Now people are making money from having followers
- 34:25Speaker 1: and social media.
- 34:26Speaker 2: They So you're saying the language doesn't account for the modern.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Way, No, it doesn't. It doesn't cover.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be like if you're a murder, you
- 34:34Speaker 2: can't have an Instagram account.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Yeah, and you shouldn't be able to get donations and
- 34:37Speaker 1: you should.
- 34:38Speaker 2: Or a phone or a tablet in prison. But then
- 34:42Speaker 2: the mom could just have it right on her behalf
- 34:44Speaker 2: and making money. What's she promoting? She's not making any
- 34:48Speaker 2: money off Instagram?
- 34:49Speaker 1: Well, nobody thinks she's getting donations, Like there's people feel
- 34:53Speaker 1: badly for her and donates, and she gets followers and
- 34:57Speaker 1: she gets attention.
- 34:58Speaker 2: And it's also case always with male murders too. They're
- 35:02Speaker 2: in jail, and then they have women that well, if
- 35:04Speaker 2: they're good.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Looking, they have to be good looking. They can't be
- 35:06Speaker 1: ugly male murderers. They have to be like Wade Wilson.
- 35:08Speaker 1: They have to be charming and handsome, and then they
- 35:10Speaker 1: get money. Yeah, well, like Ted Bundy, he was good looking.
- 35:13Speaker 1: All those women were interested in Ted Bundy and Wade Wilson.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Was Richard Ramirez good looking?
- 35:18Speaker 1: There were people that thought that, did they people reach
- 35:20Speaker 1: out to Richard what's his name?
- 35:22Speaker 2: Richard married? Oh he got married?
- 35:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe there's this crazy women
- 35:26Speaker 1: out there. They don't even have to be good looking.
- 35:28Speaker 2: It's funny that the only thing you had to attribute
- 35:31Speaker 2: to like falling in love with someone was their looks,
- 35:34Speaker 2: Like you were saying that looks Trump murder. As long
- 35:37Speaker 2: as he looks good, he's gonna have women.
- 35:39Speaker 1: No, I wasn't you said it, No, okay, I was
- 35:42Speaker 1: just saying you said it. Those handsome murderers, So I.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Better not plan on going to jail because I won't
- 35:48Speaker 2: having anyone write me letters.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Write you letters.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Okay, despite my looks, you'll write me letters.
- 35:53Speaker 1: I find you very handsome. Christine's online petition Dom's law
- 35:58Speaker 1: victims before inflow answers modernizing the Son of Sam law
- 36:02Speaker 1: has surpassed one hundred and thirty thousand signatures. Other high
- 36:06Speaker 1: profile cases have prompted similar efforts elsewhere. Idaho updated its
- 36:10Speaker 1: statute amid concerns about figures like Brian Coburger and Lori Valo,
- 36:15Speaker 1: and New York lawmakers propose expanding their law after reports
- 36:18Speaker 1: that the wife of the Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Hureman,
- 36:22Speaker 1: had signed a documentary deal. See that's another question. How
- 36:25Speaker 1: far does it go?
- 36:26Speaker 2: I was, I didn't know they could make money. I
- 36:28Speaker 2: knew they couldn't make money off the crime, but I
- 36:30Speaker 2: didn't realize like there was kind of ways around it
- 36:32Speaker 2: like this. Well then, but my career, a family can
- 36:35Speaker 2: make money.
- 36:36Speaker 1: But that's my question, how how how far do you
- 36:40Speaker 1: expand it? Is it rex Huerman can't make money off
- 36:43Speaker 1: of it because he's a serial killer? Or is it
- 36:45Speaker 1: rex Huerman and his kids and his wife?
- 36:48Speaker 2: But then, but then if the family couldn't benefit from it,
- 36:51Speaker 2: then you never have the documentaries the same and you
- 36:55Speaker 2: will you never have awareness and we won't do a podcast.
- 36:59Speaker 2: So does kind of you know?
- 37:02Speaker 1: Well that's my question. So do you think it should
- 37:03Speaker 1: pertain to just the person who committed the crime, because
- 37:06Speaker 1: how do you make it pertain to everyone connected, like
- 37:10Speaker 1: everyone connected to Mackenzie Sherrilla or everyone connected?
- 37:13Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I mean I have other questions
- 37:15Speaker 2: like why why can't you send her makeup? Like it
- 37:18Speaker 2: should be, Oh, you murdered someone, Okay, you go to
- 37:20Speaker 2: jail and you stay here and you wait, yeah, until
- 37:24Speaker 2: it's time to leave. It's not like, oh, sorry for
- 37:27Speaker 2: the inconvenience. Okay, you can have your parents send you
- 37:29Speaker 2: stuff and you can have money in an account. I
- 37:31Speaker 2: was like, what, I.
- 37:33Speaker 1: Want to know if there's anyone out there that works
- 37:35Speaker 1: where McKenzie is detained my Ohio, people out there.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Is currently serving time with Mackenzie.
- 37:41Speaker 1: Or it's currently serving time with Mackenzie or has worked
- 37:43Speaker 1: in just the prison system. Can you please explain to
- 37:46Speaker 1: us why she gets makeup and hair products and I
- 37:49Speaker 1: don't know what else she gets in the mail to
- 37:50Speaker 1: make she had to have hair products to get her
- 37:52Speaker 1: hair in that bund. She needed some hairspray, so, I
- 37:56Speaker 1: don't know.
- 37:56Speaker 2: It looked like she had something in the bun, like
- 37:58Speaker 2: what like a red solo cup or something to make
- 38:01Speaker 2: it like stand up that high. Isn't that what people do?
- 38:03Speaker 2: They put you put something in the buddy. Yeah, yeah,
