- 1:03Speaker 1: I mean, see, Grace, this is crime Stories.
- 1:06Speaker 2: I want to thank you for being with us.
- 1:20Speaker 3: Kirsten Strayng was a devoted single mother whose life revolved
- 1:23Speaker 3: around her young son. Their days were filled with trips
- 1:26Speaker 3: to the beach and creating a fun life for the
- 1:29Speaker 3: two until one faithful night.
- 1:31Speaker 4: Shattered their world forever.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Those photos are killing me.
- 1:38Speaker 2: It reminds me of the thousands and thousands of photos
- 1:42Speaker 2: I took of the twins when they were little. According
- 1:46Speaker 2: to everyone to whom we have spoken, this mom, Kirsten lived,
- 1:53Speaker 2: lived for her little boy, and now she's gone. She
- 1:58Speaker 2: is a soul car than give her to her son,
- 2:02Speaker 2: what's going.
- 2:02Speaker 1: To happen to him now?
- 2:04Speaker 2: And what about her dreams of seeing him graduate from kindergarten,
- 2:09Speaker 2: then gone to first grade, then middle school, high school, college,
- 2:14Speaker 2: and beyond her leading.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Him along the way? Is only one.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Person can do, and that is your mother. Enter the suspect,
- 2:29Speaker 2: Xavier Rigby.
- 2:31Speaker 1: And let me just go out on a limb.
- 2:33Speaker 2: And say, raw in hell Rigby. Yes, he's presumed innocent
- 2:39Speaker 2: until proven guilty. And I'm going to have a couple
- 2:41Speaker 2: of rounds of a veteran trial lawyer named Jacob Lowe
- 2:45Speaker 2: in just a moment on this case.
- 2:46Speaker 1: But first I.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Want to go to a veteran investigative reporter, a four
- 2:51Speaker 2: time Emmy Award winning TV anchor and producer, Serena Fazan.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Serena, what happened?
- 3:00Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I mean, Nancy, don't you think this
- 3:03Speaker 5: was absolutely a failure in the system as well? We
- 3:06Speaker 5: lost a beautiful mother. But what was he doing out
- 3:11Speaker 5: in the road in the first place? I mean, you
- 3:13Speaker 5: saw the disdaining.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Larch, Serena. Normally I take a chunk out of somebody
- 3:20Speaker 1: that tries.
- 3:20Speaker 2: To blame the system instead of blaming the suspect. But
- 3:25Speaker 2: this time I agree with you. I mean, do I
- 3:29Speaker 2: have the count right? Because I actually think I've missed
- 3:32Speaker 2: some nine road related charges in four years. What whack
- 3:39Speaker 2: adoodle judge let this guy out?
- 3:42Speaker 1: You know what? Hold on, Serena.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Fazan with all the facts with me, But I just
- 3:47Speaker 2: got to go to Kimberley Cockrell, victim services manager at
- 3:51Speaker 2: mad M, a d D Mothers against drunk Driving South
- 3:56Speaker 2: Carolina who happened to have lost her best friend to
- 3:59Speaker 2: a driver. Kimberly, does it never end because there's plenty
- 4:05Speaker 2: of blame to pass around here, But can we just
- 4:07Speaker 2: focus on the technical legal term a whole judge that
- 4:13Speaker 2: let this guy walk nine road related offenses, including leaving
- 4:19Speaker 2: the scene a crash before you know, I hate to
- 4:22Speaker 2: even look at him because he's looking at me and like.
- 4:25Speaker 1: What what did I do? I know what he did?
- 4:28Speaker 1: What does Matt have to say about this?
- 4:30Speaker 6: Kimberly, We are absolutely more inside by this man's behavior.
- 4:36Speaker 6: This is that it's bad enough that you're drinking and driving,
- 4:40Speaker 6: but then to keep driving for miles with the mother
- 4:46Speaker 6: single mother on the hood of your car.
- 4:49Speaker 7: That is absolutely vapid.
- 4:51Speaker 6: I do not understand how this man to continue on
- 4:55Speaker 6: with her on his car and just driving as if
- 4:58Speaker 6: there was nothing wrong.
- 5:00Speaker 2: I mean, Cheryl McCollum, who has also worked with mad Now,
- 5:05Speaker 2: director of the Cold Case Research Institute and star of
- 5:08Speaker 2: a hit podcast, Zone Seven. Cheryl McCollum. He can't say
- 5:12Speaker 2: he didn't see her. She's on his wind shill. She's
- 5:17Speaker 2: stuck on his wind shield. Mommy on a windshield, Cheryl,
- 5:23Speaker 2: What can he possibly.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Say to that?
- 5:26Speaker 8: Not only was that sound overwhelming, his car would have
- 5:31Speaker 8: reacted not just to hitting her, but running over her. Ebite, Nancy,
- 5:37Speaker 8: This is one of those cases where you just have
- 5:41Speaker 8: to say to yourself, he drove with this poor mother
- 5:46Speaker 8: dying on the hood of his car through the windshield.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Guys, I'm about to go to a veteran trial lawyer
- 5:53Speaker 2: whose handel case is very similar to this, But first
- 5:56Speaker 2: I want to hear.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Want you to hear what happened.
- 5:59Speaker 9: Kirs is riding her e bike in the bike lane Gulfport, Florida,
- 6:03Speaker 9: ten pm Saturday night. Nissan Ultima approaches from behind at
- 6:06Speaker 9: a high rate of speed, slams into Kirsten's bike, knocking
- 6:09Speaker 9: the mother into the air, and does not stop. He
- 6:12Speaker 9: continues driving as if there isn't an injured woman on
- 6:15Speaker 9: his windshield.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Injured dying would be more appropriate. Guys, joining me right
- 6:19Speaker 2: now is a very special guest who I consider to
- 6:23Speaker 2: be a friend. It's Lisa Miller, and she lost a
- 6:29Speaker 2: person most precious to her, her daughter, Samantha, to a
- 6:38Speaker 2: drunk driver. There's Samantha. Is she not absolutely stunning? Do
- 6:45Speaker 2: you see her in that wedding dress? I hate even
- 6:48Speaker 2: say it. She died in her wedding dress at the
- 6:56Speaker 2: hands of a drunk driver, leaving her own wedding reception
- 7:02Speaker 2: on a day that is the day parents live for.
- 7:07Speaker 1: We live to see our child find the perfect person,
- 7:12Speaker 1: and then we know we've done our job.
- 7:15Speaker 2: We've hopefully gotten them through school, we've got them established
- 7:18Speaker 2: in life, and then they find the life partner that
- 7:22Speaker 2: we love too. And it all ended on what would
- 7:27Speaker 2: have been the happiest night of Lisa Miller's life.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Lisa, I just.
- 7:34Speaker 2: The moment I heard about Kirsten, a single mom, dead
- 7:40Speaker 2: on this guy's windshield, the first thing I thought about
- 7:44Speaker 2: was about you and Samantha. I can't describe the pain
- 7:52Speaker 2: this family must be feeling, but you can Lisa, what
- 7:57Speaker 2: happened the night that Sam was brutally killed.
- 8:01Speaker 1: By a driver.
- 8:04Speaker 10: I'll just say that, obviously, nobody will ever understand what
- 8:11Speaker 10: families go through when you lose a child or use a.
- 8:18Speaker 11: Parent suddenly unexpectedly on the happiest day of their life.
- 8:24Speaker 11: I would not say sorry to Ancy that that was
- 8:26Speaker 11: the happiest day of my life. It was actually the
- 8:29Speaker 11: worst day of my life. And we showed up at
- 8:36Speaker 11: I'm gonna just generalize it a little bit. I don't
- 8:39Speaker 11: want to get into a lot of it. But we
- 8:42Speaker 11: went to the scene after we figured out there was
- 8:45Speaker 11: an accident, and we're told by the police that everybody
- 8:53Speaker 11: that was in the accident was at the hospital, So
- 8:58Speaker 11: obviously I went to the hospital. My daughter drove me
- 9:02Speaker 11: there to find Sam. We get to the hospital, they're
- 9:07Speaker 11: not letting us know where Sam is because everybody on
- 9:11Speaker 11: the golf cart was a John or Jane Doe, because
- 9:17Speaker 11: nobody had their ID with them. Obviously, they're just leaving
- 9:20Speaker 11: the wedding going to the airbnb. So we're looking through
- 9:25Speaker 11: the hallways and still to this day, going in a
- 9:27Speaker 11: hospital with my mom walk through the hallway, I lose
- 9:30Speaker 11: it looking for Sam. Looking for Sam. We're outside waiting.
- 9:35Speaker 11: We're back inside walking around just looking for me and
- 9:39Speaker 11: my daughter, roaming through the halls of the hospital. Finally
- 9:43Speaker 11: go outside again. It's late now. The accident happened at ten,
- 9:46Speaker 11: it's probably one in the morning at this point, and
- 9:48Speaker 11: we're still waiting to find my daughter, and I was
- 9:51Speaker 11: worried about her injuries.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Little did I know.
- 9:56Speaker 11: This is the hardest part is while we're outside waiting,
- 10:02Speaker 11: her dad called, who stayed at the scene, and he said,
- 10:07Speaker 11: Sam's not at the hospital. He said, she's here. I
- 10:16Speaker 11: just identified her body.
- 10:19Speaker 1: She's dead.
- 10:20Speaker 11: And you can't even imagine that moment. I fell to
- 10:24Speaker 11: the ground and my daughter said, I was pounding on
- 10:28Speaker 11: the ground.
- 10:29Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 10:32Speaker 11: What I was doing, obviously, and so she took me home,
- 10:37Speaker 11: not home, but to our airbnb, and I mean it
- 10:41Speaker 11: was kind of blurry after that, but yeah, and I
- 10:44Speaker 11: found out later on that Sam made Eric which places
- 10:49Speaker 11: with her on the golf cart because she didn't like
- 10:52Speaker 11: where she was sitting.
- 10:55Speaker 12: That pretty much killed me. But it's a pain that
- 10:57Speaker 12: no mother should have to endure. I mean, I've been
- 11:02Speaker 12: lucky that I've managed to connect with some other mothers
- 11:06Speaker 12: that have lost their children, and we have a group.
- 11:09Speaker 11: Chat and we have a zoom meeting. We all support
- 11:12Speaker 11: each other. And I'm also doing re coaching classes. So
- 11:17Speaker 11: I'm looking forward to doing what Sam would want me
- 11:20Speaker 11: to do, which would be to help others that go
- 11:22Speaker 11: through this.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Lisa, first of all, I feel so guilty about asking
- 11:30Speaker 2: me what happened, because I know that it's painful and
- 11:36Speaker 2: hurtful to relive it. But I don't think others understand
- 11:46Speaker 2: ve hicular homicide, joint driving deaths are not accidents, and
- 11:52Speaker 2: they are preventable. And for the judge and the current case,
- 11:56Speaker 2: Lisa let this guy out wandering free driving after it
- 12:01Speaker 2: had already had a hit and run nine road incidents
- 12:07Speaker 2: in the past four years, and now Kirsten, a single mom,
- 12:11Speaker 2: is dead. I mean I handle so I prosecuted so
- 12:15Speaker 2: many hvs, habitual violators that had.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Gone in and out and in and out, and find
- 12:21Speaker 1: somebody's dead. That's what I would get.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Then when they were a felony, not a misdemeanor, do
- 12:26Speaker 2: UI and the families of the victims would just be
- 12:30Speaker 2: sitting on the front row behind me in court just
- 12:33Speaker 2: crying because nothing can fix it. There's no fix for this.
- 12:38Speaker 2: You can't just put a band aid that's brace them
- 12:40Speaker 2: back team. There's no fix. They're not coming back ever.
- 12:45Speaker 2: And it's hard to explain why a duhy is so
- 12:52Speaker 2: important for us to focus on Lisa.
- 12:55Speaker 11: I know, and it's amazing. It's amazing the amount of
- 12:57Speaker 11: people that I have met that have lost family members
- 13:01Speaker 11: to DUIs. And these people be they don't get any time,
- 13:08Speaker 11: or they get a year, or they get a you know,
- 13:11Speaker 11: thirty days in jail, or they don't get anything at
- 13:14Speaker 11: all because maybe they were a former police officer.
- 13:17Speaker 2: I mean, I've heard so many maybe like in this case,
- 13:20Speaker 2: the judge just lets them go. Trust me, Xavi or
- 13:24Speaker 2: Rigby is not a former police officer.
- 13:27Speaker 1: There was just a slack judge that didn't care. They
- 13:31Speaker 1: just let him walk.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I don't know the answer, but I do know that
- 13:38Speaker 2: letting a person with this many road incidents.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Just walk that that's not okay. Oh oh, guys, I
- 13:48Speaker 1: want you.
- 13:49Speaker 2: To hear the perp that mowed down Samantha whining on
- 13:56Speaker 2: the phone.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Listen.
- 13:58Speaker 13: I know, honey, we know, honey, freaking road and this
- 14:08Speaker 13: couldn't happen to anyone, Like why me?
- 14:13Speaker 6: Why me?
- 14:15Speaker 11: I don't understand, like this could have happened to so.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Many other people?
- 14:22Speaker 2: Is she crazy? You are hearing the perp on the phone.
- 14:27Speaker 2: Thats Jamie Lee Komarowski whining about how did this happen
- 14:32Speaker 2: to me? Why can't it happen to somebody else?
- 14:35Speaker 1: Nothing happened to her.
- 14:37Speaker 2: She drove drunk and she killed Samantha and left the
- 14:41Speaker 2: fiance in a pile of bones. He's still having to
- 14:44Speaker 2: have reconstructive surgeries. He barely lived. Did you hear this, doctor,
- 14:50Speaker 2: Bethany Marshall? What is wrong with du Why?
- 14:54Speaker 1: Killers? I don't get it. It's like, why did this
- 14:57Speaker 1: happen to me? And at the she goes, this could
- 14:59Speaker 1: have happened so many other Baby, what you know, Nancy?
- 15:04Speaker 2: It's it's so she's saying, Bethany, she's only thinking about herself.
- 15:08Speaker 7: Nancy, it's so self referential.
- 15:10Speaker 14: You know, even though the legal limit is point eight
- 15:14Speaker 14: at point oh two, you're seven times more likely to
- 15:18Speaker 14: have an accident. You know that a third of all
- 15:21Speaker 14: traffic related fatalities have alcohol involved. And what I think
- 15:26Speaker 14: with these people is that not only are they so
- 15:29Speaker 14: used to being drunk or high, but they drive around
- 15:32Speaker 14: in what we call a brownout. It's a little different
- 15:35Speaker 14: than a blackout. At blackout is you have no memory,
- 15:39Speaker 14: you don't even know what you're doing. A brown out
- 15:41Speaker 14: is that you're sort of dimly aware and you don't
- 15:45Speaker 14: really care, so you just drive wherever you want without
- 15:49Speaker 14: any thought of consequences.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Put her up, Bethany. Do you you think I care?
- 15:54Speaker 2: Do you think it matters to me that the drunk
- 15:57Speaker 2: driver doesn't care?
- 15:59Speaker 1: They don't care because they're drunk.
- 16:01Speaker 2: They don't care because they're drost to doctor Bethanie as
- 16:04Speaker 2: not some deep seated psychological problem. They're drawn on their
- 16:09Speaker 2: rear ends. That's why they don't care.
- 16:13Speaker 11: You know.
- 16:13Speaker 2: I was just speaking to Lisa Miller about how judges
- 16:17Speaker 2: just let these people walk, like the judge did in
- 16:21Speaker 2: Rigby's case, and now single mom is dead. Just wait,
- 16:26Speaker 2: you've got to hear what a judge sentence Rigby to
- 16:30Speaker 2: last time.
- 16:31Speaker 9: Rigby has an extensive criminal record, a previous hit and
- 16:34Speaker 9: run and a DUI charge the state reduced to a
- 16:37Speaker 9: reckless driving charge. He also had several traffic infractions, like
- 16:41Speaker 9: speeding more than thirty miles over the speed limit in
- 16:44Speaker 9: his previous dui. Rigby is caught driving on the wrong
- 16:47Speaker 9: side of the road on a divided highway and has
- 16:50Speaker 9: an open container in the charges, but is allowed to
- 16:53Speaker 9: deplete it down to reckless driving, completes DUI school and
- 16:56Speaker 9: a Mother's Against Drunk Driving online victim impact panel.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Did you hear that? Let me go to Joseph Low.
- 17:04Speaker 2: He's a veteran trial lawyer who practices in La Never
- 17:09Speaker 2: lack of business there. He's the founder of the law
- 17:12Speaker 2: firm Joseph H. Low, the fourth That means there's been
- 17:16Speaker 2: three before him. Joseph, did you hear what Rigby got
- 17:22Speaker 2: last time? He had to watch a video of the
- 17:25Speaker 2: Mother's Against Drunk Driving panel?
- 17:30Speaker 1: He had to watch a video that was his punishment.
- 17:34Speaker 15: What I heard even more is the absolute broken heart
- 17:39Speaker 15: of missus Miller. I can only imagine what that boy
- 17:44Speaker 15: of the gal who unfourseunately lost her life to this guy.
- 17:47Speaker 4: That is so hard to listen to you.
- 17:50Speaker 15: And I'm gonna be honest, I brought tears in mind
- 17:53Speaker 15: just listening to Nancy and listen to miss Miller, and
- 17:56Speaker 15: it's we sit and listen to it, and let's just
- 17:59Speaker 15: be real right now. Why we're outrage, Why you're outraged.
- 18:04Speaker 15: Why you should be is because it seems so senseless.
- 18:07Speaker 15: And that's the whole part about the alcohol involved here.
- 18:10Speaker 15: It lends to you to realize that there was no
- 18:13Speaker 15: need for him to drink that much. If he was,
- 18:15Speaker 15: we don't know, but we're being totally was, or at
- 18:18Speaker 15: least the other person. And why why do they have
- 18:20Speaker 15: to drink that much alcohol so that somebody else has
- 18:24Speaker 15: to have everything they've ever owned taken from them and
- 18:27Speaker 15: anything they'll ever have taken from them. But even worse,
- 18:32Speaker 15: that boy's not going to grow up without the love
- 18:35Speaker 15: of a parent in times of his life where he
- 18:36Speaker 15: needs that advice and that comfort and that nurturing.
- 18:39Speaker 2: I appreciate everything you just said, but this must be
- 18:41Speaker 2: an echo chamber because I've already said that. I ask you,
- 18:47Speaker 2: how does a defense attorney stand by and you're looking
- 18:50Speaker 2: at your HV, your habitual violator client, and you hear
- 18:54Speaker 2: the judge just give him watching a video Mother's against
- 19:00Speaker 2: Joint driving panel video. That's the sentence when you know
- 19:06Speaker 2: this guy either needs to go to jail to dry out,
- 19:10Speaker 2: or to go does some kind of a lockdown rehab,
- 19:13Speaker 2: and he just walks out.
- 19:14Speaker 1: The door and you know he's going to do it again.
- 19:17Speaker 1: How do you how do you bring yourself to stay quiet?
- 19:21Speaker 15: I personally would not, and I've had similar cases, not
- 19:24Speaker 15: with this magnitude what I'm about to do, but that
- 19:27Speaker 15: is I have actually said to the court that you
- 19:30Speaker 15: can give them the standard penalties, which is what the
- 19:32Speaker 15: judge did.
- 19:33Speaker 4: But I've said before this person is.
- 19:36Speaker 15: Going to need more than that, because otherwise they're going
- 19:39Speaker 15: to be here again. As an officer of the court,
- 19:41Speaker 15: I've taken a solemn oath to make sure I'm helping,
- 19:43Speaker 15: not hurting, and I'm discerning that this person needs more
- 19:46Speaker 15: because I got them some screening and account someone very
- 19:50Speaker 15: professional left doctor Bethany Marshall here.
- 19:52Speaker 4: He says, this is what they're going to need.
- 19:54Speaker 15: I have gone to the judge before and say, look,
- 19:56Speaker 15: this is what they really need, and it's a little
- 19:58Speaker 15: bit more. As a result, we're all going to be safer.
- 20:02Speaker 15: That's what's supposed to happen from the defense side as well.
- 20:05Speaker 4: So you're right, there's no answer to your question.
- 20:07Speaker 15: That's going to be inflammentory than oh, what's the big deal.
- 20:11Speaker 15: That's what's supposed to happen. And you know what, as well,
- 20:13Speaker 15: and unfortunately doesn't happen.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Enough crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Thoseph Low veteran trial lawyer, You're absolutely correct. Sadly, that
- 20:31Speaker 2: is not what happened in the case of Lisa's daughter
- 20:35Speaker 2: Sam or in the current case of Xavier Rigby.
- 20:40Speaker 9: The perp driving in and out of traffic for eight
- 20:42Speaker 9: blocks with Kirsten still stuck to his windshield. Finally, Kirsten
- 20:46Speaker 9: falls off the windshield, crashing onto the ground. The driver
- 20:49Speaker 9: doesn't call nine to one, one, doesn't stoctor nder Aid,
- 20:52Speaker 9: fails to wait for first responders to arrive. He continues on,
- 20:55Speaker 9: leaving the mortally wounded woman in the roadway.
- 20:58Speaker 3: Kirston went for a seemingly ordinary bike ride on her
- 21:01Speaker 3: e bike, gliding.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Along the Gulfport, Florida Kurblane.
- 21:05Speaker 3: Unbeknownst to her, a reckless man was about to make
- 21:08Speaker 3: a series of catastrophic choices that would change everything.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Straight back out toward winning TV anchor investigative reporter Serena
- 21:20Speaker 2: fash Serena, where exactly did this happen? So?
- 21:25Speaker 5: It happening in an area called Gulfport in Nancy. It's
- 21:28Speaker 5: such a beautiful small community. I can imagine how it
- 21:33Speaker 5: shattered that area. You know, it's near the water. The population,
- 21:37Speaker 5: it's a very small population, home to a lot of artists,
- 21:42Speaker 5: hardworking people. I just can't even imagine. I can't even
- 21:46Speaker 5: imagine for the people who witness that.
- 21:49Speaker 1: This is what happened when responders get to the scene.
- 21:52Speaker 9: First responders arrive on the scene, but it's too late.
- 21:55Speaker 9: Kirsten has pronounced deceased on the scene. The driver of
- 21:57Speaker 9: the Nissan Ultima is no stranger to traffic offenses. Xavier
- 22:01Speaker 9: Rigby has multiple offenses and knows his duty to stop
- 22:04Speaker 9: and render aid. Instead leaves the woman's crumpled body on
- 22:07Speaker 9: the road and takes off the Penelas County Sheriff's office
- 22:10Speaker 9: quickly identifies the suspect vehicle and tracks Rigby down in
- 22:13Speaker 9: short order, finding the fleeing suspect about a mile away
- 22:17Speaker 9: at a liquor store. The police can smell alcohol on
- 22:20Speaker 9: his breath. He has bloodshot eyes, can barely walk, his
- 22:23Speaker 9: speech is slurred, refuses a roadside sobriety test.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Let's analyze what we've just learned.
- 22:30Speaker 2: We learn that the suspect is a mile away already
- 22:34Speaker 2: at a liquor store.
- 22:36Speaker 1: At a liquor store.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Kirsten just fell off his windshield where he left her
- 22:41Speaker 2: on the side of the road dead and he goes
- 22:44Speaker 2: straight to a liquor store. Okay, that's not helping anything
- 22:48Speaker 2: to Cheryl McCollum.
- 22:49Speaker 1: What about it?
- 22:51Speaker 8: He care more about getting more booze than her life.
- 22:56Speaker 8: He was mission focused. He didn't see her, He didn't
- 23:01Speaker 8: stop when he ran over the bike, he didn't stop
- 23:03Speaker 8: when he flung her off the hood, but he kept
- 23:07Speaker 8: going for a mile.
- 23:09Speaker 1: To a liquor store.
- 23:11Speaker 2: You know, I'm very curious on your reaction, Cheryl McCollum
- 23:14Speaker 2: with thus, director of Coldcase Research Institute and star of
- 23:18Speaker 2: a hit podcast Zone seven. Cheryl, did you hear the
- 23:23Speaker 2: judges earlier sentence on the sky let him walk, plugged.
- 23:27Speaker 1: The case down?
- 23:28Speaker 2: In that case, he was driving on the wrong side
- 23:31Speaker 2: of the road drunk. That's a head on collision waiting
- 23:33Speaker 2: to happen. With an open container, what does that mean?
- 23:37Speaker 2: That means he's got an open beer or liquor without
- 23:40Speaker 2: a top on it, in other words, drinking it. The
- 23:43Speaker 2: reason we call it open container is because they don't
- 23:46Speaker 2: actually guzzle it down in front of the cops, but
- 23:48Speaker 2: they're sitting there with a beer or alcohol herd alcohol
- 23:52Speaker 2: open in the car, all right, that's called open container.
- 23:56Speaker 2: So he's driving drunk down the wrong side of the
- 23:59Speaker 2: road on a divided highway.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Ryl.
- 24:03Speaker 2: That means those victims they can't even go anywhere the
- 24:08Speaker 2: highway's divided. They'll run into a median if they try
- 24:11Speaker 2: to get out of his way, see what I mean.
- 24:13Speaker 2: So it's death to them no matter what they do.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Wrong side of the road, divided highway, open container. It
- 24:20Speaker 2: got planed down to reckless driving. And all he had
- 24:23Speaker 2: to do was watch a video of Mothers Against Drunk
- 24:26Speaker 2: Driving online.
- 24:29Speaker 1: That's it.
- 24:30Speaker 8: His prior offenses started four years ago when.
- 24:33Speaker 11: He was eighteen.
- 24:35Speaker 8: He hasn't even been legally able to drink except for
- 24:39Speaker 8: a year, and he's already had a DUI prior to that.
- 24:43Speaker 8: Why this guy was not on their radar, I don't know.
- 24:46Speaker 1: And here's another question.
- 24:47Speaker 8: I don't know how he still has a car, or
- 24:50Speaker 8: insurance or a driver license.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Kimberly Cockroll joining us from Mothers Against Drunk Driving out
- 24:58Speaker 2: of South Carolina. Kimberly, I know at some point you're
- 25:04Speaker 2: not surprised anymore or shocked. I still am amazingly, but
- 25:09Speaker 2: how many times has.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Someone driven drunk?
- 25:13Speaker 2: Statistically by the time they're caught one time.
- 25:17Speaker 6: According to the FBI, someone drives an average of eighty
- 25:21Speaker 6: times drunk before they're actually stopped.
- 25:25Speaker 7: So this number should terrify everyone.
- 25:28Speaker 6: When you're driving down the road at one o'clock in
- 25:31Speaker 6: the afternoon, which I just got a new case a
- 25:33Speaker 6: week ago, someone was killed at one point thirty in
- 25:36Speaker 6: the afternoon in the state of South Carolina by a
- 25:39Speaker 6: drunk driver. This should terrify you. When you're on your
- 25:42Speaker 6: way to pick up your children from school, when you're
- 25:45Speaker 6: on your way to church, these people are out there
- 25:47Speaker 6: and they're driving drunk around you.
- 25:50Speaker 7: That should terrify you.
- 25:52Speaker 6: We have so many human beings that are losing their lives,
- 25:55Speaker 6: and unfortunately, yes, judges are taking these dui first that
- 26:00Speaker 6: they see as victimless crimes, and what they're doing is
- 26:03Speaker 6: they are dropping these down to reckless. That just gives
- 26:06Speaker 6: these offenders a free pass in all honesty to offend again,
- 26:10Speaker 6: and it gives them a superpower almost They feel like
- 26:14Speaker 6: they have they're untouchable, so they'll continue the actions.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Straight back out to veteran trial lawyer out of the
- 26:20Speaker 2: LA jurisdiction.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Joseph low is with us Low.
- 26:26Speaker 2: In preparation for tonight, I cross examined a colleague whose
- 26:31Speaker 2: specialty is DUI defense, including DUI homicide, and I said,
- 26:40Speaker 2: if you had any DUIs lately? And he said, oh yeah,
- 26:46Speaker 2: I had a DUI vehicular homicide and guess what I got?
- 26:50Speaker 2: It plued down to reckless driving, which is basically a citation.
- 26:56Speaker 2: And he was so proud, he was so oh proud.
- 27:01Speaker 2: And I knew that you and I were discussing this tonight.
- 27:05Speaker 2: I mean, at a certain point it's just wrong, but
- 27:11Speaker 2: judges go.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Along with it. What do you make of this case?
- 27:16Speaker 2: You've got fleeing the scene hit and run, leaving the
- 27:22Speaker 2: young mom on the side of the road.
- 27:24Speaker 1: We know she was already dead, but he didn't know that.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Just leaving there, leaving her there so he can get
- 27:30Speaker 2: to the liquor store.
- 27:31Speaker 15: Low, Well, clearly the defense lawyer is going to have
- 27:36Speaker 15: their work cutout for him.
- 27:37Speaker 4: But let me play the role for a minute.
- 27:39Speaker 15: If I had this case and I wanted to win it,
- 27:41Speaker 15: I had to win it. It was the right thing
- 27:43Speaker 15: to do, because I'm supposed to sell USA fight for
- 27:45Speaker 15: my clients.
- 27:46Speaker 4: Right, So here's what I'd say. I'd say to the judge, Judge, all.
- 27:49Speaker 15: Those things you just heard that you hit her that hard,
- 27:52Speaker 15: going that fast, being that drunk, and drove her that
- 27:55Speaker 15: far eight blocks or more still at the same spat,
- 27:58Speaker 15: and then ends up in a liquor store.
- 28:00Speaker 4: Clearly, clearly, this man.
- 28:03Speaker 15: Is so addicted to alcohol that he hasn't the ability
- 28:07Speaker 15: to even be a functioning civilianist citizen, which is why
- 28:11Speaker 15: we're so angry at him, and the reason if we
- 28:15Speaker 15: stay angry at him, that he's gonna go to prison.
- 28:17Speaker 4: In this case, he's gonna go to prison if you're
- 28:19Speaker 4: looking at the charges.
- 28:21Speaker 15: But if he comes out, which he will, and he'll
- 28:23Speaker 15: probably be somewhere on thirty five, maybe forty, he's gonna
- 28:27Speaker 15: be even worse, and he's gonna be back on the streets,
- 28:29Speaker 15: and we're gonna see this again, and to some other
- 28:31Speaker 15: judge is gonna get the same problem.
- 28:33Speaker 4: So, judge, what I.
- 28:33Speaker 15: Want you to do is not put him in the
- 28:36Speaker 15: human warehouse for fourteen fifteen years and make it worse.
- 28:40Speaker 15: Let's get him the treatment he needs that gives him
- 28:42Speaker 15: the best chance he possibly has to be able to
- 28:44Speaker 15: be a functioning member of society and address the real issue,
- 28:47Speaker 15: which is the alcoholism.
- 28:49Speaker 4: That's pretty much where the defense is gonna go.
- 28:51Speaker 15: And that's why if it works, it works is because
- 28:55Speaker 15: a lot of times they'll buy off on that. It's
- 28:57Speaker 15: the substance abuse angle probably where they're gonna go.
- 29:01Speaker 2: Okay, have you ever seen a snake charmer, maybe on
- 29:05Speaker 2: National Geographic or something like that, where the snakes doing
- 29:08Speaker 2: like that, and the snake charmer's doing like that and
- 29:11Speaker 2: they have this symbiotic thing going on.
- 29:13Speaker 1: You know what.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Thank God, I know better than to believe anything you
- 29:17Speaker 2: just said, because it was very, very.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Compelling, And now I know how you meant when.
- 29:22Speaker 2: So many cases you look at the judge just like
- 29:25Speaker 2: you look at that camera, and you go off on
- 29:27Speaker 2: a roll and it all makes sense and then it's
- 29:30Speaker 2: all over and the judges let the guy walk out
- 29:32Speaker 2: of the courthouse with the reckless driving.
- 29:34Speaker 1: That's how you do it. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 29:48Speaker 2: I want to go back to this getting sentenced to
- 29:51Speaker 2: watching an online Mothers against drunk Driving video. That is
- 29:57Speaker 2: his sentence straight out to doctor Bethany Marsh joining US
- 30:00Speaker 2: psychoanalyst out of the LA Jurisdiction, author of deal Breaker.
- 30:04Speaker 2: You can see her now on Peacock and you can
- 30:06Speaker 2: find her at doctor Bethany Marshall dot com Doctor Bethany Marshall.
- 30:10Speaker 2: I know better than to ask Joseph Lowe this question
- 30:13Speaker 2: because somehow he'll worm out of it. But the law is,
- 30:16Speaker 2: doctor Bethany, that voluntary use of drugs or alcohol is
- 30:20Speaker 2: never a defense.
- 30:22Speaker 1: What he was.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Talking about is mitigation. When the guys play guilty, it's
- 30:28Speaker 2: not a fact finding mission anymore. It's about getting a
- 30:32Speaker 2: light sentence. Drugs and alcohol not a defense in the
- 30:37Speaker 2: guilt innocents phase. So one thing I want to understand
- 30:42Speaker 2: is what he just said, which is right.
- 30:44Speaker 1: How the guy is straight back up at the liquor store.
- 30:48Speaker 14: You know, Nancy, He has an addiction, a compulsion, and
- 30:52Speaker 14: the one of the very essential features of an addiction
- 30:56Speaker 14: is lack of insight into the harm it will cause
- 31:00Speaker 14: other people. So if this guy does not have consequences,
- 31:04Speaker 14: he will just go right back out and use. He
- 31:06Speaker 14: needs to be behind bars, not only for society because
- 31:10Speaker 14: he needs to get the fumes out.
- 31:11Speaker 1: He needs to be.
- 31:12Speaker 14: Behind bars for fourteen fifteen years so that he can
- 31:16Speaker 14: be sober if he can be sober behind bars. You know,
- 31:19Speaker 14: the things if with addiction, Nancy is that it never
- 31:22Speaker 14: goes away. Somebody can be addicted drinking.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Bethany, a veteran now lawyer, was a motorman in APD forever.
- 31:34Speaker 2: That's how I knew him and come in as a witness,
- 31:38Speaker 2: and he would not drink a drop and explained to
- 31:44Speaker 2: me that his father was what he called a dry drunk.
- 31:50Speaker 1: And that kind of.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Goes back to what trial lawyer Joseph Lowe was saying.
- 31:55Speaker 2: They get dried out in jail, but I don't know
- 31:58Speaker 2: that that cures it. What is a dry drunk, which
- 32:01Speaker 2: this gual certainly is not.
- 32:05Speaker 16: Well.
- 32:05Speaker 14: You know a lot of addicts have what we call
- 32:08Speaker 14: dual diagnosis, which is there is a comorbidity with another
- 32:11Speaker 14: psychiatric illness, like my polar schizophrenia personality disorder. So the
- 32:16Speaker 14: dry drunk maybe they're not drinking, but they still have
- 32:20Speaker 14: all the other issues associated with addiction. I think of
- 32:24Speaker 14: it like if you're driving down the road and there's
- 32:26Speaker 14: a big pothole and you hit it, somebody's going to
- 32:29Speaker 14: happen to your tires.
- 32:31Speaker 1: But what if there's.
- 32:34Speaker 14: A little thin shield over the pothole, and you still
- 32:37Speaker 14: drive down that road. You're still You're still going to
- 32:40Speaker 14: have damage to your vehicle. So sobriety is like that
- 32:43Speaker 14: little thin shield and may cover up the addiction, but
- 32:47Speaker 14: the pothole is still there. Addiction is chronic throughout the lifespan.
- 32:54Speaker 14: The only cure is to not drink, which is why
- 32:58Speaker 14: this guy needs to be behind bar.
- 33:00Speaker 9: The devoted mom to a young son, Kirsten Social media
- 33:03Speaker 9: is covered with family photos, but almost every photo includes
- 33:07Speaker 9: her son. One of Kirsten's last posts on Facebook was
- 33:10Speaker 9: written directly to her son, saying, as long as I'm living,
- 33:14Speaker 9: my baby, You'll be loved and I'll love you forever.
- 33:18Speaker 9: Kirsten's friend, describing her as an angel, have set up
- 33:21Speaker 9: a GoFundMe to provide help with funeral expenses, with proceeds
- 33:24Speaker 9: turned over to Kirsten's mother, Elaine, who will now be
- 33:27Speaker 9: standing in the gap caring for her grandson.
- 33:30Speaker 3: In a cruel twist of feet, straying across paths with
- 33:34Speaker 3: Xavier Rigby, a notorious repeat traffic offender, Rigby spent the
- 33:39Speaker 3: night drowning in alcohol, setting off a chain of reckless decisions.
- 33:44Speaker 6: Here you are with a prior leaving a scene from
- 33:46Speaker 6: twenty twenty two, then in twenty twenty four.
- 33:49Speaker 7: This date is generous.
- 33:50Speaker 5: Enough to reduce your dui to a reckless.
- 33:53Speaker 7: Her purpose is a vond, it's a dui.
- 33:57Speaker 4: So then here we are.
- 33:58Speaker 5: Now we've now gone to a second d UI, but
- 34:01Speaker 5: this time the.
- 34:02Speaker 6: Extremely aggravating facts where.
- 34:05Speaker 7: You've killed somebody, left to see him and drag their body.
- 34:10Speaker 12: And I don't need to need to go any further
- 34:12Speaker 12: for how aggravating stifacts are.
- 34:14Speaker 2: From our friends at w FLA joining me now is
- 34:18Speaker 2: an esteemed medical examiner, doctor Kendall Crowns, the chief medical
- 34:23Speaker 2: Examiner Terrance County, that's Fort Worth. He is the star
- 34:27Speaker 2: of a hit new podcast, Mayhem in the Morgue, which,
- 34:30Speaker 2: by the way, I've listened to on loop. Doctor Kendall Crowns.
- 34:36Speaker 2: He is the esteemed lecturer at the Burnett School of Medicine,
- 34:40Speaker 2: and that is at TCU. Doctor Kendall Crowns, let me
- 34:45Speaker 2: ask you. We know that this single mom, sole caregiver
- 34:50Speaker 2: to her little boy, is riding her e bike when
- 34:54Speaker 2: she is hit at about sixty five miles an hour.
- 35:00Speaker 2: She is thrown onto the windshield and when first responders
- 35:05Speaker 2: get there, she's dead. But is it possible, doctor Kendall Crowns,
- 35:14Speaker 2: that she lived long enough to know she was dying.
- 35:21Speaker 16: Oh, yes, it's a possibility. From what I've read. The
- 35:24Speaker 16: car struck her from behind, so potentially her back gets
- 35:29Speaker 16: hit by the car, pelvic region gets shattered. She flips
- 35:33Speaker 16: backward onto the windshield, crushing the windshield. That would possibly
- 35:38Speaker 16: break ribs, break her thoracic spine, or make her a paraplegic,
- 35:43Speaker 16: but not necessarily compromise her head if she had a
- 35:46Speaker 16: helmet on, especially or break her neck. So she's now
- 35:49Speaker 16: wedged in the window, broken glass penetrating her skin. She
- 35:53Speaker 16: would have rib fractures. She would be bleeding internally as
- 35:57Speaker 16: well as externally, but not necessarily be immediately. She probably
- 36:01Speaker 16: had several minutes of survivability where she was sitting in
- 36:06Speaker 16: that window on the hood of that car, bleeding out.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Doctor Kendall Crowns, Have you ever undergone surgery and they
- 36:13Speaker 2: put you under anesthesia?
- 36:15Speaker 1: Yes, me too.
- 36:17Speaker 2: And the last thing I'm thinking is I hear them
- 36:21Speaker 2: saying count backwards, and I start counting backwards, and then
- 36:26Speaker 2: I quit counting, and pray, Lord, let me live through
- 36:31Speaker 2: this surgery so I can raise the twins.
- 36:36Speaker 1: They are my last thought. I wonder if she could
- 36:44Speaker 1: think about.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Her baby boy, or if she was in so much pain,
- 36:49Speaker 2: or was she knocked out when she was first hit
- 36:51Speaker 2: when she flew through the air and crashed into his windshield.
- 36:55Speaker 1: But people have recounted their last.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Memories before they died and they were brought back resuscitated.
- 37:03Speaker 2: I've had witnesses tell me their last memories, and they
- 37:07Speaker 2: were almost always of their children.
- 37:10Speaker 16: It's possible that would be her last memory, but she conscious.
- 37:14Speaker 16: It's debatable if she hit her head or not. But
- 37:18Speaker 16: if she is conscious, it is a possibility because if
- 37:22Speaker 16: her head's not compromised, she would still possibly be able
- 37:26Speaker 16: to think and feel. And who knows where he last
- 37:29Speaker 16: memories will be. But I agree with you, most people's
- 37:32Speaker 16: last memories that have children are thinking about their children
- 37:36Speaker 16: and what will happen to them before they go unconscious.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Joining me a fellow warrior in the trenches, Cheryl McCollum
- 37:44Speaker 2: and I started fighting crime together many years ago. We
- 37:49Speaker 2: met fighting domestic violence. Cheryl McCollum, now star of a
- 37:56Speaker 2: hit podcast, Zone Seven. Cheryl, I've had victims tell me
- 38:02Speaker 2: so many different variations of what happened to them.
- 38:06Speaker 1: It's almost always who's going to take care of my children?
- 38:11Speaker 1: That's their last thought.
- 38:12Speaker 2: Forget their pain, forget what they've been through. That's what
- 38:16Speaker 2: they're thinking. They're not thinking I'm dying. They're thinking about
- 38:20Speaker 2: their child.
- 38:21Speaker 8: See, there's no doubt in my mind that every single
- 38:25Speaker 8: thing she did from the moment that they got here
- 38:29Speaker 8: was for him, about him, because of him. There's no question.
- 38:35Speaker 8: And you know, I think people when they say, well,
- 38:38Speaker 8: I mean it's just drunk driving, we get what if
- 38:41Speaker 8: the video. Drunk driving is the same as shooting a
- 38:46Speaker 8: gun and a crowd of people. You may or may
- 38:49Speaker 8: not hit anybody, You may or may not kill anybody,
- 38:53Speaker 8: but you take the risk every single time you do it,
- 38:58Speaker 8: and you don't.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Care who it hit.
- 39:00Speaker 8: You don't care who it kills. That's the roost you take.
- 39:04Speaker 8: And what this person took from this little boy, he
- 39:09Speaker 8: deserves to spend the rest of their life in jail.
- 39:11Speaker 2: A drunk driver who continues to drive up to a
- 39:15Speaker 2: mile with the dead victim on the windshield. Believe it
- 39:18Speaker 2: or not, this say is not the first time it's happened.
- 39:21Speaker 17: Chante Mallard drives home, a route she has taken many times,
- 39:24Speaker 17: but this night she strikes Gregory Glenn Biggs, who's walking
- 39:28Speaker 17: along the highway. His body is propelled partially through the windshield,
- 39:32Speaker 17: but Biggs does not die on impact. Instead of pulling
- 39:35Speaker 17: over and calling police, Mallard stops and tries to pull
- 39:38Speaker 17: the moaning man off her car. When she can't dislodge
- 39:41Speaker 17: the seriously wounded and bleeding man from her windshield, Mallard
- 39:44Speaker 17: drives home, parks in the garage, and leaves Biggs there
- 39:47Speaker 17: for hours to die.
- 39:48Speaker 18: When she was a very loud lord Tansless start flying
- 39:57Speaker 18: in the car, a lot of wind, and the glass
- 40:03Speaker 18: was just it was just cutting in my skin.
- 40:06Speaker 4: It was just sinking me.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Boo, who chante?
- 40:09Speaker 2: Mallard ran a guy down and she's whining that the
- 40:14Speaker 2: glass on her windshield cut her skin.
- 40:16Speaker 1: He's dead woman. And then of course there's Stacy Sanchez.
- 40:21Speaker 9: Around six twenty am, Jack Tendelson on his way to
- 40:24Speaker 9: brother Beino's soup kitchen, the homeless man on the sidewalk
- 40:27Speaker 9: when Stacy Sanchez, on her way home from a night
- 40:30Speaker 9: of partying, hits Tendlson with such force his body smashes
- 40:33Speaker 9: through the windshield, landing in the front passenger seat. The
- 40:36Speaker 9: bottom part of one of his legs is severed on impact,
- 40:39Speaker 9: later recovered at the back of the car near the
- 40:41Speaker 9: rear window.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Then there's Nestra Flores, a woman in the drive through
- 40:45Speaker 1: at Jack in the Box.
- 40:46Speaker 9: Eleven PM calls nine to one one for a welfare
- 40:49Speaker 9: check on a man slumped over the wheel of his car.
- 40:51Speaker 9: The driver, thirty one year old Nestra Flores, smells like
- 40:54Speaker 9: a brewery, says he had a deer inside. Police find
- 40:58Speaker 9: a dead human in the passenger seat. The next morning,
- 41:01Speaker 9: partial human remains are found in Dallas that matched the
- 41:03Speaker 9: remains in Flora's car. The impact is so severe the
- 41:06Speaker 9: victim's body thrown through the windshield and came to rest
- 41:09Speaker 9: on the passenger seat, and Flores drove thirty eight miles
- 41:12Speaker 9: before stopping. Flores has two other driving around intoxicated charges
- 41:16Speaker 9: in the last five years.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Joseph Lowe, I'm sure you're trying to hide right now,
- 41:21Speaker 2: and hope I don't come to you. This guy, Flores
- 41:27Speaker 2: had half the victim's body in his car, the other
- 41:31Speaker 2: half the passenger seat right beside him. Yes, him, Flores
- 41:36Speaker 2: and the other half of the victim was thirty eight
- 41:39Speaker 2: miles away, and he didn't know what he said, He
- 41:44Speaker 2: didn't know what happened. Who does he think was in
- 41:45Speaker 2: the passenger seat right beside him? Just like in this case,
- 41:51Speaker 2: what did Rigby think? Why did he think he needed
- 41:53Speaker 2: to go to the liquor store with his windshield cracked
- 41:56Speaker 2: wide open?
- 42:00Speaker 4: Apparently he thought.
- 42:00Speaker 15: It was Bambi, And I guess I'm so mutilated he
- 42:03Speaker 15: couldn't tell what it was or who it was, which
- 42:04Speaker 15: again gives you an idea either how fast he was
- 42:06Speaker 15: going or how drunk he really was. I'm going to
- 42:10Speaker 15: guess I didn't go so well for him the court
- 42:11Speaker 15: to be that unaware and that that ridiculous. But that's
- 42:16Speaker 15: what would I have to say? What happened there?
- 42:19Speaker 2: And that's where you would argue the addiction aspect, or
- 42:23Speaker 2: as you said, angle, I heard that the addiction angle
- 42:27Speaker 2: uh to Serena Fazan joining us, Where does the case
- 42:32Speaker 2: stand right now? And where is the little boy?
- 42:35Speaker 5: The little boy is now with his grandmother, so at
- 42:40Speaker 5: least you know he's in the carrying arms of someone
- 42:43Speaker 5: who deeply loves him.
- 42:45Speaker 1: And what about Rigby, Well, that we.
- 42:47Speaker 5: Haven't even talked about this. He was falling asleep in
- 42:50Speaker 5: the courtroom. The judge had to reprimand him because he
- 42:53Speaker 5: was literally falling asleep in the courtroom.
- 42:56Speaker 1: I don't know if you.
- 42:56Speaker 7: Guys saw that.
- 42:58Speaker 5: He's not even paying attention to anything, so at least
- 43:02Speaker 5: he is behind bars. And Nancy, I know we've talked
- 43:04Speaker 5: about this, but this is just a system.
- 43:07Speaker 7: Wide failure as well.
- 43:09Speaker 5: And I know we've talked to Attorney Lowe about this,
- 43:13Speaker 5: but there's clearly a moral breakdown with this gentleman. I
- 43:19Speaker 5: don't believe there is rehabilitation in this case.
- 43:23Speaker 2: You know what, Serena Fason, As correct as you may be,
- 43:28Speaker 2: I'm going to leave his moral breakdown to be ferreted
- 43:33Speaker 2: out between him and the lord. I'm concerned about his
- 43:40Speaker 2: jount rear end going to jail and staying there this time.
- 43:45Speaker 1: But Serena Fason, I'm so glad you brought that up.
- 43:48Speaker 1: We're showing a video from our friends at Fox thirteen.
- 43:52Speaker 2: He's not worried about Kirsten, he's not worried about her baby.
- 43:59Speaker 1: He's asleep.
- 44:00Speaker 2: He's so unconcerned about what's happening. He's actually falling asleep
- 44:05Speaker 2: standing up thank you Serena Faisan And on that note,
- 44:09Speaker 2: I will ask if you know or think you know
