- 3:53Speaker 1: tiny bit of what you just heard Jackie, please do
- 3:57Speaker 1: the honors, kid know, yeah, Oh Lord Jesus Christ. See
- 4:29Speaker 1: what you're hearing at the end is the Purps fleeing
- 4:35Speaker 1: Walmart into a getaway car as one of them is screaming,
- 4:40Speaker 1: hold on just a minute, Phil Chalmers to you, Daryl Cohen,
- 4:44Speaker 1: I remember the first mass murder I ever worked on.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I think it was the first. And there were three
- 4:53Speaker 1: dead bodies. There was so much blood it was literally
- 4:57Speaker 1: running down the gutter um on a playground, and there
- 5:03Speaker 1: were five defendants. And that was the first time I
- 5:09Speaker 1: had heard the phrase wilding. Wilding. In other words, when
- 5:16Speaker 1: you get a group together, they do things they would
- 5:19Speaker 1: never I don't think have done on their own. It's
- 5:22Speaker 1: a whole different mentality. And now I've got this little
- 5:26Speaker 1: girl bleeding out at Walmart. Number one, it's sad. Number two,
- 5:32Speaker 1: it's tragic. Number three, it's unbelievable. And number four, it
- 5:36Speaker 1: is the most criminal act could ever happened. We used
- 5:39Speaker 1: to call it mob psychology. Doesn't matter whether it's mob
- 5:43Speaker 1: psychology or wilding. It is unbelievable that these girls and
- 5:48Speaker 1: where the heck was their mom? Where the heck was
- 5:51Speaker 1: their dad? If they exist, because these girls didn't get
- 5:54Speaker 1: a knife by themselves. Oh yeah, they got life. Hold
- 5:58Speaker 1: on just a moment, leave my page. This little girl
- 6:03Speaker 1: is stabbed dead at a Walmart. Where where did the
- 6:08Speaker 1: murder weapon come from? It came from Walmart, Nancy there
- 6:12Speaker 1: in Lake Charles. They stole the knife. They stole a
- 6:15Speaker 1: knife of that caliber. That dangerous weapon is out on
- 6:20Speaker 1: display where you can just grab it. Apparently so, because
- 6:23Speaker 1: according to law enforcement, the weapon came from inside the store,
- 6:28Speaker 1: they stole it. Well, I'm not sure I understand you.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Justice got Morgan forensics expert. What could have possibly been
- 6:36Speaker 1: like a kitchen knife out in the cutlery area or
- 6:39Speaker 1: was this a full on butcher knife? Do we know
- 6:41Speaker 1: with a serrated edge? No, I don't know specifically the
- 6:45Speaker 1: type of knife that it was. However, it's easily accessible.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Just go to the kitchen ware section and the very
- 6:52Speaker 1: sharp butcher knife are on display. I mean you maybe right,
- 6:56Speaker 1: I'm just not recalling it. Climb stories with Nancy Grace. Guys,
- 7:07Speaker 1: we are talking about a little teen girl getting stabbed
- 7:11Speaker 1: dead and one of them everybody's favorite stores, Walmart. I
- 7:17Speaker 1: was just in Walmart, going up and down the aisles
- 7:21Speaker 1: because they were the only place in town that said
- 7:23Speaker 1: they had a Geneo turkey right there. I could have
- 7:27Speaker 1: been one aisle over from this little girl. Leave my page,
- 7:30Speaker 1: Climb online dot com investigating reporter what happened exactly? And Nancy,
- 7:34Speaker 1: just to answer your previous question, you know, knives at Walmart,
- 7:37Speaker 1: some of them can't come in a package. That's similar
- 7:40Speaker 1: to maybe a toy that you would buy for your child.
- 7:43Speaker 1: If you ripped those packages open, it's fairly easy. They
- 7:47Speaker 1: could have done that right there in the store. But Nancy,
- 7:50Speaker 1: what happened was this was seven thirty, not even that
- 7:53Speaker 1: late at night in Walmart. A group of teenagers had
- 7:56Speaker 1: been to a movie theater and then they went to
- 7:59Speaker 1: Walmart and that is when this attack went down, and
- 8:03Speaker 1: they were live streaming this on social media. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait,
- 8:08Speaker 1: wait right there, isn't it bad enough that you stab
- 8:12Speaker 1: a defenseless, unarmed girl in the eyes of Walmart dad
- 8:16Speaker 1: with a knife you swipe, but you have to live
- 8:19Speaker 1: stream it. That's where we got all that sound. They
- 8:23Speaker 1: live streamed it. That's a whole other layer of callousness,
- 8:28Speaker 1: of disregard to murder somebody and live stream it. It's
- 8:32Speaker 1: that Nancy. But it's also a glimpse into the mind
- 8:36Speaker 1: of these homicidal teenagers. How young they really are that
- 8:41Speaker 1: they would live stream it and not think that they
- 8:44Speaker 1: would get caught. The immaturity, the lack of big picture thinking,
- 8:51Speaker 1: the lack of a sense of consequences in their life. Also,
- 8:54Speaker 1: I think of the wish to triumph over the victim,
- 8:59Speaker 1: which is often the case with teen girls who murder.
- 9:03Speaker 1: They want to deface, to diminish, to defigure, to knock
- 9:08Speaker 1: the victim off her pedestal. I often think with girls
- 9:11Speaker 1: who kill envy as a strong motivator. You know you're popular,
- 9:15Speaker 1: you're beautiful, you're smart, you're not all that. We're going
- 9:19Speaker 1: to prove that you're not all that. We have power
- 9:22Speaker 1: over you. And not only do we have power over you,
- 9:25Speaker 1: we're going to make you look terrible in front of
- 9:27Speaker 1: the entire world. We're going to expose your suffering. So
- 9:32Speaker 1: they never thought that they would get caught by live
- 9:34Speaker 1: streaming it. They thought that they would devalue and denigrate
- 9:39Speaker 1: the victim by life streaming it. Phil Chalmers with me
- 9:42Speaker 1: special Guest. He wrote Inside the Mind of a Teen
- 9:47Speaker 1: Killer on Amazon Criminal Profiler starf where the bodies are
- 9:53Speaker 1: buried podcast Fail, Bethany said something about and I agree
- 10:03Speaker 1: with everything she just said. By the way, they didn't
- 10:07Speaker 1: think they would get caught. I don't know that they
- 10:11Speaker 1: thought at all. It just sounds like just a pack
- 10:17Speaker 1: of hyenas running through Walmart, chasing down this girl and
- 10:22Speaker 1: stabbing her dead. It's almost like they don't even think
- 10:25Speaker 1: of the consequences anymore. Females. In the last eight years,
- 10:30Speaker 1: according to CDC, their suicide rate has doubled. A lot
- 10:34Speaker 1: of young ladies don't care about living themselves, and so
- 10:37Speaker 1: what we're seeing is an increase in homicide. When we
- 10:40Speaker 1: see a generation a population increase their suicide rate, their
- 10:44Speaker 1: homicide right usually increases. And so these kids grew up
- 10:48Speaker 1: in poverty, abuse, family breakdown. They have no wait wait, wait, Phil,
- 10:52Speaker 1: do you know any of that about these killers? It's
- 10:57Speaker 1: just what I see as I talked to killers for
- 10:59Speaker 1: you know years. I mean about these specific girls that
- 11:05Speaker 1: chased this fifteen year old girl through Walmart and stabbed
- 11:10Speaker 1: her dead, leaving her to bleed out. Do you know
- 11:15Speaker 1: that they are deprived somehow because they had all just
- 11:17Speaker 1: been out for a night out at a movie theater
- 11:22Speaker 1: where they not only paid for their tickets but got
- 11:26Speaker 1: a truckload of treats and snacks. I mean, I don't
- 11:30Speaker 1: know if you've been there lately, but just to give
- 11:33Speaker 1: in drinks. It's like forty something dollars, all right, enough?
- 11:37Speaker 1: Said right there? And I'm looking at them and they
- 11:39Speaker 1: are wearing designer athletic gear. I don't even buy that
- 11:44Speaker 1: from my children, or much less me. But so you know,
- 11:48Speaker 1: you're saying, oh, poverty, and I mean Phil, they chased
- 11:54Speaker 1: the girl down at Walmart. You know their security footage there,
- 12:00Speaker 1: and they live streamed it. They're not upset that this
- 12:04Speaker 1: girl bled out, Nancy. They may not have been deprived
- 12:07Speaker 1: if they were certainly depraved, who were very fortunate that
- 12:11Speaker 1: they were stupid enough not only to commit this horrible
- 12:14Speaker 1: crime but also to live stream it because it certainly
- 12:18Speaker 1: gave law enforcement. Well do you know what? You're right?
- 12:22Speaker 1: The conviction. You're right, Daryl Cohen, But what do you
- 12:25Speaker 1: think how do you think the parents feel seeing their
- 12:29Speaker 1: girl chase down? And dad? I mean Phil, I don't
- 12:35Speaker 1: want to come down on you, but please, I mean,
- 12:38Speaker 1: this girl bled out on the floor at Walmart, and
- 12:42Speaker 1: you're telling me the killers may have been deprived. They've
- 12:47Speaker 1: been deprived something. Of course they may not be money,
- 12:50Speaker 1: but something is not right that they would do something
- 12:53Speaker 1: like this. And yeah, they're criminals. They're very much being
- 12:57Speaker 1: the culture too, because even the terms like she leakin,
- 13:00Speaker 1: all that is culture is a violent culture that surrounds
- 13:03Speaker 1: these kids were raising a generation of killers with with
- 13:06Speaker 1: everywhere these kids look is violence, murder, rape, sodomy. And
- 13:11Speaker 1: they don't think twice a zoon as themselves. Uh, just
- 13:14Speaker 1: cop in on this. Yeah, and Bethany, that is not remorse.
- 13:18Speaker 1: That is not remorse. You know. I just went to
- 13:21Speaker 1: a conference Saturday on the twenty one gradations of evil.
- 13:25Speaker 1: It was it was a neural psychoanalysis conference and we
- 13:28Speaker 1: look took a look at social media, depravity, homicide and
- 13:32Speaker 1: really there's no correlation between social media and video games
- 13:37Speaker 1: and all of that and homicide. All. That's not what
- 13:40Speaker 1: Phil was saying, doctor Bethany. It was a video game.
- 13:45Speaker 1: All it does is desensitize you. It doesn't turn you
- 13:49Speaker 1: into a homicidal person. It desensitizes you, that's all. It
- 13:53Speaker 1: just ups the empty somebody's will say, is that where
- 14:00Speaker 1: or Darryl? That's me? Phil, Go ahead, so it definitely
- 14:06Speaker 1: desensitizes you. Doctor. I'm not scream with you there, but
- 14:10Speaker 1: when you're desensitized to the rape that these kids are,
- 14:14Speaker 1: you could tell they're in the culture. They're in the
- 14:16Speaker 1: violent culture by yelling things like she leakn that is
- 14:18Speaker 1: all that's the culture. Yelling things like videos they watched. Okay,
- 14:22Speaker 1: slow it down, phil, uh, yelling things like what well
- 14:26Speaker 1: they're they're saying a term she's leakin that means she's bleeding. Okay, wait,
- 14:32Speaker 1: wait right right, Phil, I'm sorry. Talking to you is
- 14:36Speaker 1: like drinking from the fire hydra. It's just too much,
- 14:39Speaker 1: too fast. Let me understand this. Joseph Scott Morgan. Phil
- 14:46Speaker 1: Chalmers has written the book We Cannot Argue with that
- 14:49Speaker 1: Inside the Mind of a Team Killer. It's on Amazon.
- 14:53Speaker 1: But to stab someone a girl unarmed in Walmart where
- 14:58Speaker 1: you're surrounded by being cameras and you're live streaming it.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I would try every one of them as adults, every
- 15:05Speaker 1: single one, jump in, Nancy, adults. They'll be tried as adults.
- 15:10Speaker 1: They're going to go to prison for twenty five years.
- 15:12Speaker 1: And I've been interviewing them for thirty five years. I've
- 15:15Speaker 1: been talking, I've interviewed over two hundred kids. Faith to faith,
- 15:18Speaker 1: team killer, school shooters, serial killers, you name it. And
- 15:22Speaker 1: when you say what are they thinking? They're not thinking
- 15:25Speaker 1: that's the problem until they get to prison and sit
- 15:28Speaker 1: there asking to sell. Then they start thinking it's too late.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Then Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Guys, we are talking
- 15:46Speaker 1: about the murder, and I'm saying, I know many of
- 15:51Speaker 1: you may think I pretty judged it, but the Purps
- 15:55Speaker 1: lime streamed the attack. What should I believe their defense
- 16:00Speaker 1: attorney or my lying eyes chasing down a little team
- 16:05Speaker 1: girl in Walmart where shoppers are all around, stabbing her
- 16:10Speaker 1: in the heart, then running away saying she's leaking, in
- 16:15Speaker 1: other words, bleeding out to her death. As a matter
- 16:19Speaker 1: of fact, Jackie, if you could play our cut to
- 16:22Speaker 1: be said, brother, yeah, and our cut ten listen to this,
- 16:59Speaker 1: and I don't give hell if nobody if she killed
- 17:13Speaker 1: the beach you are hearing afterwards, that is their idea
- 17:22Speaker 1: of remorse. She's dead. I will I would play that
- 17:27Speaker 1: over and over and over to with Jerry. I'd play
- 17:32Speaker 1: it fast, I'd play it slow. I'd have it as
- 17:36Speaker 1: I did. And every single thing I played for a
- 17:39Speaker 1: jury transcribed so they could read it and hear it
- 17:44Speaker 1: at the same time while they look at the defendants
- 17:48Speaker 1: and look at a picture of the dead victim. You
- 17:53Speaker 1: dared write, and I will tell you another thing. On
- 17:57Speaker 1: the front row, I would have this teen girls mother
- 18:02Speaker 1: so she would see justice unfold in the court of law.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Joseph Scott Morgan, you were saying, yeah, dove tailor with
- 18:10Speaker 1: what Phil had mentioned earlier. He's absolutely right on the money.
- 18:13Speaker 1: They're not feeling anything at that moment in time. But
- 18:17Speaker 1: let me describe to you when they are feeling. Okay.
- 18:22Speaker 1: One of the things that stays with you about blood,
- 18:24Speaker 1: and I've been around blood my entire adult life in
- 18:27Speaker 1: the Morgue on crime scenes, is that it has a
- 18:32Speaker 1: distinct smell to it. It is metallic, and when you're
- 18:34Speaker 1: around a lot of it, which you are, particularly on
- 18:38Speaker 1: sharp sharp force injury cases, it is something that stays
- 18:42Speaker 1: with you. Not only that, it has a tactile sense
- 18:45Speaker 1: to it too. When they're in that car and they're
- 18:47Speaker 1: driving down the road and maybe the adrenaline is wearing
- 18:49Speaker 1: off a little bit, at some point time, somebody's going
- 18:52Speaker 1: to look down at their arms, their bare skin. They're
- 18:54Speaker 1: gonna see dry blood on themselves. Some of these girls
- 18:56Speaker 1: are gonna have blood. Remember, guys, I know all of
- 19:02Speaker 1: you remember this, doctor Bethany Marshall. Remember Jodi Arias. After
- 19:06Speaker 1: she stabbed Travis Alexander, her lover dead in the shower,
- 19:09Speaker 1: she drove across the desert to literally hop on and
- 19:14Speaker 1: mount her new boyfriend. She still had blood on her hands,
- 19:19Speaker 1: under her fingernails. These girls will see the blood, and
- 19:23Speaker 1: I would disagree that they're going to think it's bad.
- 19:25Speaker 1: I think that it's a badge of honor. Look what
- 19:28Speaker 1: we have just done. Yay us. And I further ask
- 19:32Speaker 1: you where were the parents? Because this type of behavior
- 19:36Speaker 1: did not just manifest itself one time. One or more
- 19:40Speaker 1: of these girls had problems, and mommy and or daddy
- 19:44Speaker 1: didn't do any problems. I think like biting your nails
- 19:49Speaker 1: or talking back is a problem. I hear Bethany jump in. Bethany,
- 19:53Speaker 1: I have to say something about this. Phil Chalmers said
- 19:55Speaker 1: something so important about histories of deprivation. And I know
- 20:00Speaker 1: we all hate to say, oh, they come came from
- 20:02Speaker 1: poverty or crime. They've got because design. I mean, Bethanie,
- 20:11Speaker 1: you're there in all your Saint John's outfit and you're
- 20:14Speaker 1: perfectly manicured. And all of the does she use costs
- 20:19Speaker 1: over one hundred dollars. I wouldn't even buy them from me.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Please deprived of what well, Nancy here, What I want
- 20:27Speaker 1: to break down is what the true correlation is between
- 20:31Speaker 1: one's history and committing homicide. And one of the things
- 20:35Speaker 1: we know is that young people who have a trauma history,
- 20:39Speaker 1: they don't think. They have kind of a blank screen
- 20:43Speaker 1: in their mind. They don't conceptualize accurately what's happening to
- 20:47Speaker 1: them into the world. And everybody on the panel kept
- 20:50Speaker 1: saying they weren't thinking, they weren't thinking. And what I
- 20:53Speaker 1: want to break down a little further is that the
- 20:55Speaker 1: office who have a trauma history, they don't do you, okay,
- 20:59Speaker 1: even a shred, a shred, a sintilla of evidence, Doctor
- 21:05Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, that any of these girls have been traumatized
- 21:09Speaker 1: their actions. I know you're assuming that because they committed
- 21:15Speaker 1: a crime. And let me just remind everybody under the
- 21:19Speaker 1: law thinking they didn't think, yeah, Phil Chalmers, doctor Bethany Marshall,
- 21:25Speaker 1: I hear you. And in the street sense of the word,
- 21:27Speaker 1: the vernacular, they didn't think, yes, you're right, But under
- 21:31Speaker 1: the law, a long thought out plan is not needed
- 21:34Speaker 1: to prove murder. One premeditation is formed and the twinkling
- 21:39Speaker 1: of a moment, the blink of an eye, the time
- 21:42Speaker 1: it takes you to go steal a knife, chase the
- 21:46Speaker 1: girl down and stab her in the heart, then run
- 21:49Speaker 1: away gleefully bragging, cursing about her leaking her life's blood
- 21:56Speaker 1: leaking out of her heart. That's premitation. Let's just get
- 22:02Speaker 1: it back in the middle of the road. Let's get
- 22:03Speaker 1: out of the weeds and look at what has happened. Yeah,
- 22:07Speaker 1: do you want to feel sorry for the girls that
- 22:09Speaker 1: did this? I feel sorry for the dead girl and
- 22:12Speaker 1: her family. Okay, Phil Charmers, what about that? Well, Nancy,
- 22:18Speaker 1: I am thirteen causes with thirteen reasons why kids killed,
- 22:22Speaker 1: and a lot of you were yesterday are naming their peppering.
- 22:24Speaker 1: A lot of these things no father, unstable, abuse of home,
- 22:28Speaker 1: victim of bullying, obspecially with violent entertainment, especially with deadly weapons,
- 22:33Speaker 1: the wrong friend, fear, pressure of poverty. All that's a
- 22:38Speaker 1: mental illness. It all comes into plane. You can't just
- 22:40Speaker 1: point to one thing, but usually there's four or five
- 22:42Speaker 1: in each murderer that I see. It's different than adult killers.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Adult killers will wake up the prom fimna goes kill
- 22:48Speaker 1: the neighbor. There's nothing do I just explain to me,
- 22:54Speaker 1: put yourself. Let me say something to you I can
- 22:56Speaker 1: never say to a jury because it's reversible error. You chalmers, You,
- 23:02Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, you put yourself in the shoes of this
- 23:07Speaker 1: girl's mother. This girl mom thought going to Walmart. This
- 23:13Speaker 1: she gets to call her baby is dead. Let me
- 23:16Speaker 1: just remind everybody my twins have just turned thirteen. This
- 23:23Speaker 1: dead girl is about a year and a half older
- 23:26Speaker 1: than my twins. We're worried that they grew up without
- 23:30Speaker 1: daddy and peer pressure and they got bullied into third grade?
- 23:34Speaker 1: Are you serious? Really? I mean, well, what is am
- 23:40Speaker 1: I the one crazy Jackie? Okay, you better say something different. Okay,
- 23:46Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, I would like to hear a different thought
- 23:48Speaker 1: from you. Then they may have grown up without a father. Well,
- 23:52Speaker 1: what I can say is that these crimes are so
- 23:56Speaker 1: horrific and inexplicable, is that we do have to do
- 23:59Speaker 1: a lot out of research to find out who commits
- 24:02Speaker 1: these murders. That way we can stop these killers dead
- 24:06Speaker 1: in their tracks during their developmental years. We have to you,
- 24:10Speaker 1: but a time they entered Walmart, they were going to
- 24:14Speaker 1: commit the act. And Nancy, I would imagine if you
- 24:17Speaker 1: look at their social media that they were stalking this girl,
- 24:21Speaker 1: they were cyber bullying her. This poor victim had probably
- 24:25Speaker 1: been in their sights for a long long time, maybe
- 24:28Speaker 1: perhaps even for the last year or two. So this
- 24:31Speaker 1: crime was set in motion before the girls walked into Walmart,
- 24:37Speaker 1: stole the knife and literally stabbed her in the heart.
- 24:41Speaker 1: So when did it start? When they were five, six
- 24:44Speaker 1: or seven, eleven or twelve? Where we where do we
- 24:47Speaker 1: intervene in society? So this doesn't happen? Phil Chalmers brought
- 24:51Speaker 1: up something so perfect, and Phil, we all argue with
- 24:55Speaker 1: each other on this show, so don't take it personally. Good.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Nancy taught us all bad manners a long time, a
- 25:01Speaker 1: very bad manners. I'd like to apologize before we finish
- 25:04Speaker 1: the program failed because it's probably going to happen again. Okay,
- 25:08Speaker 1: go ahead, yes, okay. So he said that there was
- 25:11Speaker 1: a rate an increase in suicide amongst teens, and the
- 25:14Speaker 1: listeners might be saying, well, so what does that have
- 25:16Speaker 1: to do with homicide? It is true. Aggression towards the
- 25:19Speaker 1: self and aggression towards others is correlated. When there's a
- 25:23Speaker 1: rise in suicide, there's always a rise in homicide. The
- 25:26Speaker 1: suicidal and homicidal instincts life side by side, so carefully
- 25:30Speaker 1: delineating what's happening in society. It's like the seismic shift
- 25:35Speaker 1: before the earthquake. That's why we take a look at
- 25:38Speaker 1: all of these factors. Crime stories with Nancy Grace. Guys,
- 25:51Speaker 1: how does a fifty year old girl end up dead
- 25:55Speaker 1: in the aisle at Walmart after a pack of taking
- 25:59Speaker 1: girl attack her. One of the attackers as young as
- 26:03Speaker 1: twelve years old, another one as young as thirteen years old.
- 26:08Speaker 1: This all goes down in late Charles, Louisiana. I don't
- 26:12Speaker 1: really know what to say, because Field Chalmers, somehow I've
- 26:15Speaker 1: gotten sideways with you, and I know that everything you're
- 26:19Speaker 1: setting is true. But I guess the overarching thought of
- 26:23Speaker 1: mine is everything you say maybe true. But these girls
- 26:28Speaker 1: knew what they were doing was wrong. You think if
- 26:33Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall ran up to me with a nod
- 26:35Speaker 1: and said let's go stab Jackie, you think I'd run
- 26:37Speaker 1: along gleefully skipping me down the aisles of Walmart and
- 26:41Speaker 1: do it. No, I would not. You might if you
- 26:44Speaker 1: were abused and you were a certain situation that these
- 26:47Speaker 1: girls are. And doctor Marshall has the right idea. We
- 26:50Speaker 1: need to be more proactive than reactive. So if we
- 26:53Speaker 1: don't want teen girls getting stabbed it at the Walmart,
- 26:56Speaker 1: we need to start being more proactive noticing the signe,
- 27:00Speaker 1: seen the issues, and getting these kids helf before they killed. Ically,
- 27:05Speaker 1: so where was your mom and dad when these girls
- 27:08Speaker 1: were acting out? This didn't come out of us. They
- 27:11Speaker 1: didn't come out from under a rock. They've been acting
- 27:14Speaker 1: out before this hard. But this is ridiculous to say
- 27:19Speaker 1: that it just happened by itself, or even intimate that
- 27:22Speaker 1: it happened once. I agree with you guys, it was planned.
- 27:26Speaker 1: It happened, But these girls didn't do it by themselves
- 27:30Speaker 1: without their parents knowing something was going on. And Nancy,
- 27:34Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta say, relative to what Darryl is speaking,
- 27:37Speaker 1: and if we followed you know doctor Bethany's line of
- 27:40Speaker 1: logic here, If this planning has been going on for
- 27:43Speaker 1: this protracted period of time, there's absolutely no kind of
- 27:49Speaker 1: excuse or rationale or reasoning you can make at this
- 27:53Speaker 1: point in time, if you were suggesting that planning has
- 27:56Speaker 1: taken place when they entered Walmart, they're literally agents of
- 28:01Speaker 1: free will at that point in time. That's what elevates
- 28:04Speaker 1: this up to the adult level of criminality, because they
- 28:08Speaker 1: butchered this girl. Butchered this girl in public, and more
- 28:13Speaker 1: than likely, like we were saying earlier, they went over
- 28:16Speaker 1: to the kitchenware, they would have picked up something equivalent
- 28:20Speaker 1: to a butcher knife, because you would have had to
- 28:22Speaker 1: have had a robust knife like that in order to
- 28:26Speaker 1: bury it in her chest, which they obviously did. Assuming
- 28:29Speaker 1: that they understand anything about human anatomy, she's saying that
- 28:33Speaker 1: they stabbed her in the heart. For all I know,
- 28:35Speaker 1: they might think the heart is located in somebody's rear end.
- 28:39Speaker 1: But she's dead. She's dead, and she's slaughtered. Can you
- 28:43Speaker 1: imagine we keep talking about Walmart and Target, all these places,
- 28:47Speaker 1: this girl is butchered on an aisle in Walmart where
- 28:51Speaker 1: we do Christmas shopping. They have no shame, but they
- 28:54Speaker 1: have chosen to do this of their own free will.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Let me ask you something too, Joseph Scott Moregan, what
- 29:01Speaker 1: did this girl this unarmed schoolgirl go through as she
- 29:08Speaker 1: lay there bleeding out, to be chased through the aisles
- 29:13Speaker 1: by a thirteen year old, a fourteen year old and
- 29:18Speaker 1: others with a butcher knife. What did she experience, Joe Scott,
- 29:24Speaker 1: you're the death investigator. Well, if they did in fact
- 29:28Speaker 1: buried this knife in her chest, which it sounds like
- 29:30Speaker 1: they did, not only would they have nailed her heart,
- 29:33Speaker 1: which we don't know sequencing when that happened, but there's
- 29:37Speaker 1: a high likelihood that may have compromised her loans in
- 29:40Speaker 1: some way. If that's the case, she would have been choking,
- 29:43Speaker 1: regurging her blood. What we do know is, oh wait, wait, wait,
- 29:46Speaker 1: you just go so fast. I've got to take it in.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on. Choking on her own blood, you said, regurging.
- 30:00Speaker 1: I think what you're saying is blood would be coming
- 30:04Speaker 1: out of her nose and mouth while she's lying in
- 30:07Speaker 1: the floor, as her lungs fill up with her own blood, yes,
- 30:11Speaker 1: and then as she expiates, which means to blow out air,
- 30:15Speaker 1: she's now inhalating because the blood has gone back into
- 30:19Speaker 1: her mouth and into her airway, So she's inhalating her
- 30:22Speaker 1: own blood along with a mix of oxygen she's going
- 30:26Speaker 1: to have this kind of white, foamy froth that's issuing
- 30:29Speaker 1: from her nose. And this is what I do know.
- 30:32Speaker 1: She wasn't necessarily dead at the scene, said there was
- 30:35Speaker 1: at least what we refer to as an agonal agonal respiration,
- 30:41Speaker 1: agonal heartbeat, this sort of thing. She was removed from
- 30:44Speaker 1: that site to the hospital, and from a forensics standpoint,
- 30:50Speaker 1: this is troubling for me because I know, look, I
- 30:54Speaker 1: love EMTs, I love emergency room people. They saved my
- 30:56Speaker 1: life a couple of times. But one of the things
- 30:58Speaker 1: that they're horribly guilty of is cutting up clothing and
- 31:01Speaker 1: throwing it away. I'm hoping because this is going to
- 31:05Speaker 1: be the tail of the tape, Nancy, where you marry
- 31:08Speaker 1: up the sharp edged injuries through the clothing that passed
- 31:12Speaker 1: through the shirt or pants or wherever it was she
- 31:15Speaker 1: was stabbed along with the injuries. And they would have
- 31:18Speaker 1: needed to have taken this to the coroner's office in
- 31:23Speaker 1: Lake Charles there to marry this up with these injuries
- 31:26Speaker 1: to document this because at this point in time, look,
- 31:28Speaker 1: we can talk about all of the social impacts and
- 31:31Speaker 1: all this stuff, but now we're talking about homicide, and
- 31:34Speaker 1: this thing's going to move forward, and they're going to
- 31:36Speaker 1: prosecute this thing. And let me tell you one letter
- 31:38Speaker 1: of truth if you want to hear it. When they
- 31:40Speaker 1: put these images up on the screen of this girl's
- 31:44Speaker 1: butchered body in that morgue on the table, and they
- 31:48Speaker 1: show that image of that clothing they're holding up and
- 31:51Speaker 1: it's gotten multiple in sized injuries in it, it is
- 31:54Speaker 1: going to hit that jury in the chest like a
- 31:56Speaker 1: ten pound sledge hammer. The rarity Phil Chalmers of statistically
- 32:02Speaker 1: speaking of women, a woman committing a violent murder with
- 32:09Speaker 1: a knife at this young age and a public arena
- 32:15Speaker 1: is almost unheard of. Statistically, Phil, it is there's about
- 32:21Speaker 1: five teen murders every day in this country, about twelveteen suicides.
- 32:25Speaker 1: About five Well, well, let's I want to take in
- 32:28Speaker 1: what you're saying, Phil Chalmers. I want to go back
- 32:32Speaker 1: to what you said about homicide. You say five a
- 32:36Speaker 1: day across our huge country, five a day, and I'd
- 32:41Speaker 1: be willing to bet very few of those are by girls. Yeah,
- 32:46Speaker 1: A murders of females, so so niner of the team
- 32:51Speaker 1: murders of five a day, ninety percent of those are
- 32:56Speaker 1: male purps. And if actually my assertion a female killer
- 33:05Speaker 1: of this age. Killing with a knife, which is a
- 33:09Speaker 1: whole another psychological cannon arms in a public arena, almost
- 33:17Speaker 1: unheard of. It's rare, it happens. We've had high profile
- 33:22Speaker 1: cases unless the boost to Montia, Missouri, Kenyana Jackson in Ohio.
- 33:26Speaker 1: But it is rare, and it is violent. You know,
- 33:29Speaker 1: it's one thing to shoot someone, it's another thing to
- 33:31Speaker 1: stab them. I think it's a very violent act. And
- 33:35Speaker 1: we're starting to see more of this rise in our country,
- 33:38Speaker 1: and it's troubled. This is a murder and there will
- 33:43Speaker 1: be hell to pay. Fancy Grace crime story signing off,
