  Speaker 4: The jury, Okay, I wonder what they'll say.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Laura, Laurie Uh, representing herself, said I did not
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: commit this crime. It was not planned or expected. It
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: was shocking. That's not true because there's lots of evidence
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: that it was. In the closing arguments for the prosecution,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: the prosecutor Tammy or the prosecutor k told jurors that
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Valo's killing was a premeditated execution. How do we know
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: this because there are many, many, many text messages planning.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this whole thing.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Well, now, the jury voted last night and they didn't.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: You know, they didn't. They didn't come to illusion. They
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: could have reached over you know why they didn't. I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: think they wanted just one more dinner on this meal.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Prosecutor quoted a text which Lorie Dabell told Chad Dabell,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: who she was, you know, having an affair.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: With because he's so good looking.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: That not getting Valo's life insurance money was a spirit
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: through my heart, and in another it said it was
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: likely that the dark spirit that had inhabited her husband,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: who she called Ned, the dark spirit, was the one
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that changed the policy before because they knew we were
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: going to get rid of him.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: That's in a text she called the dark spirit Ned. Yeah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: So her husband's name was Charles Vaalo, but she and
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Chad would text back and forth about this dark spirit
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Ned that had taken over. And she said when we
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: got rid of him in a text message, I'm sorry.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Ned's an accountant. He's not a dark spirit.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, it is a bad spirit. I expect them
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to come back today.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: You think today, I can't imagine.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I think they want And then the breakfast, they were
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a questioned, weren't they?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Uh, they were a question.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Case, said Dave Bell's religious beliefs, which witnesses testified to,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: such as believing she no longer needed to repent, that
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: she was like Nephi in the Book of Mormon.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Now, I didn't understand what that meant.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: And they explained it in the trial and the trial
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: to people that didn't know Nephi killed somebody and said
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: that God said it was okay, So am I getting
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: that right?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Basically, so she's like Nephi.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Now it almost doesn't matter if she's convicted of this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: It matters to Charles ballas family. But she's already serving
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: two life sentences in Idaho for her kids murders and
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Tammy day Bell's murders.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Why didn't they ask for the death penalty? I don't know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: they have the death penalty in Idaho.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Maybe they didn't think.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe they thought that because she's a woman, that the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: jury would not convict.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Well, there's no physical evidence that she actually did the murders,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: but she certainly orchestrated it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: So there's Laurie.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, Now over my convalescence, Carrie Jackson's wife Sue said, oh,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: you got to watch the documentary on the Karen Reid Story.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: After three weeks of jury selection, a panel of nine
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: men and nine women have been seated in the murder
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: retrial of Karen Reid.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Why are they retrying?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So they ended in a hung jury.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: And after watching the documentary, and I told your wife this,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I get why it's a hung jury.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Ah, didn't I say from the beginning that her story
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: could be true that she didn't realize what she'd done.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Here's what I think. So here's the story.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: John o' keef, sixteen year veteran of the Boston Police Department,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: was found under sponsive in the yard of a now
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: retired Boston Police sergeant, Brian Albert. O'Keefe was pronounced dead
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: shortly afterward, a medical examiner attributing his death to hypothermia
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and blunt force trauma to the head. Night before, the
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: couple had been drinking with other law enforcement officers before
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: they drove to an after party at Albert's home.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: What followed is what's what's up for debate?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Now, this was an extremely poorly investigated crime, Okay, she says.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: We went to the house and the house looked kind
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: of dark, and it didn't look like there was an
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: after party there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: So he got out. She said, why don't you go
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: up and see if this thing is happening or not.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: And he got out of the car holding a vodka
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and soda in a glass that he took from the
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: bar they just left.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Now, there's a blizzard. It's Boston, it's dark, it's late.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: There's a blizzard, all.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Right, she said, She saw him walk up to the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: house and go inside and didn't come back out, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: she waited and waited and waited, and went, that's I
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: forget this. I'm going home, all right. He never comes home,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: so what's debated? And he dies in the snow outside? Okay,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: she says, I think he went in the house and
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: got in a fight, and then they threw his body
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: out in the yard.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Hmmm.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I think what happened is she was very drunk, very
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: very They could tell from the bar how many drinks
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: she had had at the bar, like ten drinks at
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the bar.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Really well.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: She said that she she thought he got in a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: fight in the house and got thrown out in the yard.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: What did the prosecution allege? What did they say they
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: thought happened?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: They they thought she purposefully hit in with her car
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: and she drove away. Now I don't think she purposely
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: hit him with her car. I think he got out
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: of the car, maybe tripped and fell, and she really
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: didn't see it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And walk in the house.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: She just assumed he did, and she got mad and
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: been backed up the car really fast and drove away.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: And hit him and he died. So I can see.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Why a that's still murder.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: It's not it's not murder. If it's an accident, it
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: would be manslaughter.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Manslaughter.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: But I mean, that's so the prosecution is claiming that
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: she did it on purpose, that they were fighting, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: she and I don't think she.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Purposefully ran over him. I think she was drunk.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think how can you prove that she was,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that she did it on purpose unless there are text messages.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Exactly, I mean, and there there are text messages that
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: they were fighting, but that they are retrying this this case.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: So that starts today. So it's lots of big murder news.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: So you'll just be rushing right home from oh yeah, from.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Here, Oh sure, yeah, from the dark spirit ned.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: All right, did you see this text which one says, no, no, no,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Karen Reid did not kill him. One of the kids
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in the house did and all of the adults covered
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it up. You need TikTok, tina, Oh, that impeccable news source.

  Speaker 3: What are the kids in the do you want my
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: little tiny piece of evidence? Quickly, he had a glass
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: from the bar in his hand when he got out
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: of the car. His body was found with the glass
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: from the bar if he went inside and got in.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: A fight, that's true.
