Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Welcome to Legally Brunette. I will be your
- 0:04Speaker 1: host today, Emily Simpson, along with my co host Shane Shane.
- 0:10Speaker 1: So today we wanted to just do a fun little
- 0:12Speaker 1: mini episode to talk about the fourth of July. So
- 0:17Speaker 1: we are taking the week off for the fourth of July,
- 0:20Speaker 1: so we just wanted to talk about what are your plans? Sir?
- 0:23Speaker 2: Do you have any plans?
- 0:25Speaker 1: What are you going to do?
- 0:27Speaker 2: Well?
- 0:27Speaker 1: I don't know. Actually we do a plan for the
- 0:29Speaker 1: fourth of July. You just don't know what they are
- 0:31Speaker 1: because you're the husband and I haven't informed you as
- 0:34Speaker 1: to what we are doing.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Are we're going to a ranch?
- 0:36Speaker 1: No, that is not for the fourth of July.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Oh it's.
- 0:40Speaker 1: My gosh. Every wife out there listening to this right
- 0:43Speaker 1: now feels my pain. Okay, we are going to Texas
- 0:47Speaker 1: and we're going to a ranch. But we're going July
- 0:49Speaker 1: sixth through the tenth.
- 0:50Speaker 2: What are we doing on the fourth the.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Fourth of July? Okay. Every year, we have a friend
- 0:54Speaker 1: that lives nearby who their neighborhood does this cute little
- 0:58Speaker 1: parade with all the kids and the it's decorate their
- 1:01Speaker 1: bikes and their scooters. Now it's e bikes, Right, they're
- 1:03Speaker 1: all just going to ride e bikes, but they decorate
- 1:06Speaker 1: them with like streamers and things like that. They all are. Yeah,
- 1:09Speaker 1: they all kind of like line up at the bottom
- 1:11Speaker 1: of the hill and then they all do like a
- 1:13Speaker 1: little parade through this neighborhood. So we're going to do
- 1:16Speaker 1: that again and it ends at a in and out track.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Yeah, So why do you act like I don't know
- 1:20Speaker 2: what we do?
- 1:21Speaker 1: We do that every year because you didn't know for sure,
- 1:23Speaker 1: you thought we were going to be in Texas. Anyway,
- 1:26Speaker 1: We're going to do that little parade that we always
- 1:28Speaker 1: do with some neighborhood friends, and the kids always enjoy it.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I don't know if Annabel you know, it's interesting when
- 1:34Speaker 1: you end up with a thirteen year old daughter, because
- 1:35Speaker 1: I think between twelve and thirteen things just really shift.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Eleven twelve, to me, seem like she was still a
- 1:41Speaker 1: kid and she liked to do kid kind of things.
- 1:44Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, she's thirteen, and it's.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Like she's she'll she'll want to take her bike, and
- 1:49Speaker 3: when she gets there, she'll act like she don't want
- 1:51Speaker 3: to use ride her.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Bike, right, and she'll act like she doesn't want to
- 1:54Speaker 1: be there. Yeah, and that she doesn't know any.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Of us, and then she'll secretly have fun and then
- 1:58Speaker 3: won't let.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Us right, But then when we ask her she had fun,
- 2:00Speaker 1: she'll be like, stop talking to me anyway. After that,
- 2:05Speaker 1: then we're going to go out on a boat.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Oh.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Yes, we're going out on a boat with friends. Those
- 2:10Speaker 1: same friends have a boat, so we're going to do that.
- 2:12Speaker 1: So anyway, just want to that's what we're doing, Shane
- 2:14Speaker 1: for the fourth of July.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Should be worried that you're going to take me on
- 2:17Speaker 3: a boat.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you should be worried. You should be worried about
- 2:20Speaker 1: the boat and my Google surges. Are there any true
- 2:24Speaker 1: crime cases or documentaries that you're going to binge during
- 2:28Speaker 1: this little break that we have for the holiday?
- 2:31Speaker 3: No, no, that's a question for you.
- 2:35Speaker 2: What are you going to binge every night? Lady?
- 2:38Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I just binged the whole Candy Montgomery case,
- 2:42Speaker 1: which I found fascinating. I can't wait to talk about it.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Remember we talked about the yogurt shot murders.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't there follow up? There is a.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Follow up episode. We talked about this very very briefly
- 2:52Speaker 1: because the only information that came out was that the
- 2:55Speaker 1: case was now solved, which I love that we did
- 2:57Speaker 1: an episode and then literally like a week later, the
- 2:59Speaker 1: case was sold. Hey, our podcast getting out there. We're
- 3:03Speaker 1: just doing the Lord's work. Anyway, we talked briefly because
- 3:08Speaker 1: I just read an article that basically was like they
- 3:10Speaker 1: could finally test they had the forensic ability to be
- 3:12Speaker 1: able to test a little bit of DNA that they
- 3:14Speaker 1: had from the scene, and they ended up getting a
- 3:16Speaker 1: hit and it ended up being a known serial killer
- 3:19Speaker 1: who is no longer alive. However, there is a full
- 3:22Speaker 1: episode on that, and I really want to watch that
- 3:25Speaker 1: because I want to know the details of everything. I
- 3:26Speaker 1: only know the brief synopsis of it's been solved. It
- 3:29Speaker 1: was a serial killer. And again that goes to what
- 3:32Speaker 1: we've talked about before. It's the false confessions. You know.
- 3:36Speaker 1: It's just when people are like, how does someone falsely,
- 3:39Speaker 1: you know.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Get to a point where they're okay admitting they did
- 3:42Speaker 3: something so horrific that they didn't do right.
- 3:44Speaker 1: And if you want to hear a great episode on
- 3:46Speaker 1: false confessions, if you haven't listened to this, it's when
- 3:48Speaker 1: we did an interview with Terrell.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Yeah, long ago, not long ago.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I've known Terrell for many years. I know him through
- 3:56Speaker 1: the Innocence Project. He's a great friend of mine. He's
- 3:58Speaker 1: an amazing man, and if you really want to know
- 4:01Speaker 1: more about how someone falsely confesses to a crime they
- 4:04Speaker 1: did not commit, he's a great speaker and he's really interesting.
- 4:07Speaker 1: So that's a great episode.
- 4:08Speaker 2: To listen to. Every time you talk about the yogurt
- 4:10Speaker 2: shot murders.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Even back then when we did it, I never mentioned it,
- 4:12Speaker 3: but always reminded me that name.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Have you heard of the High Fi murders?
- 4:17Speaker 1: No, what's hi Fi?
- 4:18Speaker 2: Well?
- 4:18Speaker 3: Hi Fi is like high definition, that's what. But it's
- 4:21Speaker 3: called the high Fi murders that took place in the
- 4:23Speaker 3: kind of a tech store. Oh, like the yogurt shot
- 4:26Speaker 3: murders took place in a yogurt shop. Correct, right, this
- 4:29Speaker 3: took place, so they just like the media probably coined
- 4:31Speaker 3: it high Fi murders.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Okay, So is that a case that you would like
- 4:34Speaker 1: to talk about, Well.
- 4:35Speaker 2: That's the case that comes to mind.
- 4:36Speaker 3: It's pretty yeah, it's it's kind of some juvenile kids.
- 4:41Speaker 3: I don't know if they technically were underage, but their
- 4:43Speaker 3: kid like you know, when you're young, and then they
- 4:46Speaker 3: they take over a shop and they think it's going
- 4:48Speaker 3: to be an easy robbery and it ends up just
- 4:50Speaker 3: being a complete disaster. And they they well, they put
- 4:54Speaker 3: draino in their mouths and they put duct tape on them,
- 4:56Speaker 3: and they think that's going to help. That's just going
- 4:57Speaker 3: to because they saw that like on TV wo we
- 5:00Speaker 3: just poison and then it just became worse and worse
- 5:03Speaker 3: and it's pretty graphic.
- 5:05Speaker 1: All right. So the high Hi Fi murders, I feel
- 5:08Speaker 1: like that's the case that we should talk about.
- 5:09Speaker 3: You know, furs took place in Utah in the seventies.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, well that's a good but we'll go we'll
- 5:15Speaker 1: do an episode on that. Also, I do know that
- 5:19Speaker 1: you like the Sarah Boon case, so we'll have to
- 5:21Speaker 1: do an episode on that.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Sarah Boon. I've been saying that since before we started
- 5:24Speaker 2: this podcast.
- 5:25Speaker 1: You know what, We're going to do an episode on Sarah.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Lady that play that claims still played hide and seek
- 5:31Speaker 3: with her fiance, Right, and he went and hid in
- 5:34Speaker 3: a suitcase.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Right, She's like.
- 5:38Speaker 2: It was zipped up, Yeah, and he died in it.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Well, because wouldn't let him out, She would't le him out,
- 5:43Speaker 1: and she also.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Took video recorded him begging to get out, and then
- 5:49Speaker 3: she let him have it. She just let him have it.
- 5:52Speaker 3: But then she comes to hide and seek, but then
- 5:54Speaker 3: she's sitting there going, you deserve it, you mother, after like.
- 5:56Speaker 2: All this stuff.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Yeah, so Shane has always been very interested in the
- 5:59Speaker 1: Sarah Boon case.
- 6:00Speaker 3: We're definitely going to doneys, I know, and she represented herself.
- 6:03Speaker 3: She couldn't get an attorney, so I think the judge
- 6:06Speaker 3: was like, you're on your own right.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Also, I think it's really interesting and cool that we
- 6:10Speaker 1: are now going to on legally Brunette. Every month, we
- 6:13Speaker 1: are going to do an Innocent Center interview. So I'm
- 6:17Speaker 1: going to work with Jasmine who obviously has been like
- 6:20Speaker 1: the director of the Innocent Center that I've known for
- 6:22Speaker 1: so many years. She's amazing. But we're going to work
- 6:24Speaker 1: together to reach out each month to a different client,
- 6:28Speaker 1: a different exonery and to interview them and to get
- 6:31Speaker 1: their story.
- 6:32Speaker 3: We did steff In a while ago, we did recently,
- 6:34Speaker 3: and now we want to do it every month, trying
- 6:36Speaker 3: to showcase right exactly, so innocent.
- 6:40Speaker 1: The innocent exactly, and I think that's those will be
- 6:43Speaker 1: great episodes. It's really it's always so interesting to talk
- 6:48Speaker 1: about how someone ends up in prison wrongfully accused, and
- 6:53Speaker 1: then the steps that they went through to get out,
- 6:56Speaker 1: and then also where they are now, how they assimilated,
- 6:58Speaker 1: what happens since then. The whole story is compelling. So
- 7:01Speaker 1: we're going to be telling those stories once a month
- 7:03Speaker 1: on Legally Brunette. So we're super excited about doing that.
- 7:06Speaker 1: So and as always, if you guys have any recommendations
- 7:09Speaker 1: of cases. Oh wait, one more thing I saw. I
- 7:12Speaker 1: just saw this in my news feed, which is Instagram.
- 7:15Speaker 1: There was a man I think he was the longest
- 7:18Speaker 1: wrongfully convicted demand I don't remember what's happening, yes, and
- 7:22Speaker 1: it was in Ohio and he was just recently released,
- 7:25Speaker 1: exonerated and he was put into prison because it was
- 7:29Speaker 1: an eyewitness testimony of a twelve year old and that
- 7:33Speaker 1: was it. And every time I tell you that eyewitness.
- 7:35Speaker 3: Testimony witnesses, it's.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Just I don't think you should ever be able to
- 7:42Speaker 1: convict someone solely on eyewitness testimony. There has to be
- 7:45Speaker 1: something else that corroborates it. I understand it's a factor
- 7:48Speaker 1: that person should testify and say what they saw, but
- 7:51Speaker 1: I don't think anyone should end up in prison for
- 7:54Speaker 1: the rest of their life based solely on one eyewitness testimony.
- 7:59Speaker 3: A traumatic scenario where they're probably not making notes as.
- 8:02Speaker 1: To what someone like was it there was I don't
- 8:05Speaker 1: know if you remember this case. Remember I think maybe
- 8:07Speaker 1: it was forensic Files where a woman claimed that a
- 8:09Speaker 1: man raped her and she saw his face clearly. Do
- 8:13Speaker 1: you remember this one? And she testified against him and said,
- 8:16Speaker 1: I know one percent, I'm one hundred percent sure I
- 8:19Speaker 1: saw his face. It was him. It was him. And
- 8:21Speaker 1: then it ended up years and years and years later
- 8:23Speaker 1: he was exonerated by DNA, and then she felt awful
- 8:26Speaker 1: and they ended up being friendly in the end. I mean,
- 8:29Speaker 1: she felt horrible and apologized.
- 8:32Speaker 3: I don't believe that was a friendly files. I believe
- 8:34Speaker 3: that was a show called After Innocence.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Oh maybe that was it.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Maybe that's about honarees because it's when they're released. It's
- 8:43Speaker 3: not like they just go back into the world and
- 8:46Speaker 3: pick up where they left off. Obviously there's training and
- 8:49Speaker 3: being updated with whatever skills they need. But then it
- 8:53Speaker 3: talked about how it's not just like like they still
- 8:57Speaker 3: have a record, it's it's it's still an uphill bad.
- 9:00Speaker 3: I don't once they go out and to be to
- 9:02Speaker 3: live as a regular citizen, right, and in this case,
- 9:05Speaker 3: they joined together and they you know, he forgave her
- 9:09Speaker 3: and she forgave him kind of thing. Well he didn't
- 9:11Speaker 3: do any do anything, but I mean she but no,
- 9:14Speaker 3: but she came clean and you know, came to and
- 9:16Speaker 3: they would go to schools and talk about I think
- 9:19Speaker 3: rape and assault and also probably I'm guessing how to
- 9:23Speaker 3: handle it so you know, mistakes don't happen and falsely.
- 9:26Speaker 1: All right, no to self. I want to interview him
- 9:29Speaker 1: and her.
- 9:29Speaker 3: All right, all right, we'll have to look it up
- 9:31Speaker 3: after in the sensecause it was a great, uh documentary.
- 9:35Speaker 1: It was all right. Thank you guys so much for
