- 0:43Speaker 2: from Homeland Security agent Joseph Circiello, who detailed a trove
- 0:47Speaker 2: of hotel invoices, travel records, and purchase receipts allegedly linked

- 0:56Speaker 2: escorts and a former girlfriend identified in court only as Jane.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Prosecutors also presented messages allegedly sent by Combs referencing baby oil,
- 1:07Speaker 2: large sums of cash, and erectile dysfunction medication items they

- 1:15Speaker 2: used in the case to describe private sex parties. Jurors

- 2:07Speaker 1: Crime Onlines John Lemley.
- 2:09Speaker 2: One woman is dead and nine others are recovering after
- 2:12Speaker 2: gunfire broke out at a Juneteenth celebration in South Carolina.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Authorities say the shooting happened late Saturday night during an
- 2:20Speaker 2: outdoor community event in Anderson, South Carolina. According to the
- 2:24Speaker 2: Anderson County Sheriff's Office, hundreds had gathered peacefully earlier in
- 2:28Speaker 2: the day, but as night fell, a fight reportedly broke
- 2:32Speaker 2: out in a nearby parking lot, quickly escalating into gunfire.
- 2:36Speaker 2: The victim has been identified as thirty five year old
- 2:39Speaker 2: la Portia Janet Gray Cobb. The county coroner says she
- 2:42Speaker 2: died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Two of
- 2:45Speaker 2: the nine wounded remain in critical condition. Officials say that
- 2:49Speaker 2: more than one hundred first responders rushed to the scene,
- 2:52Speaker 2: but as of the last report, no arrests have been made.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Investigators say they do not believe the shooting was politically motivated.
- 3:00Speaker 2: The fallout continues following the not guilty plea in the
- 3:03Speaker 2: murder trial of Karen Reid. The forty five year old
- 3:06Speaker 2: Massachusetts woman was acquitted Wednesday of charges including second degree
- 3:11Speaker 2: murder and manslaughter. This after prosecutors alleged she hit her boyfriend,
- 3:16Speaker 2: Boston police officer John O'Keefe with her SUV and left
- 3:20Speaker 2: him to die outside a party. Reid was convicted only
- 3:24Speaker 2: of driving under the influence. Since the verdict, three jurors
- 3:27Speaker 2: have come forward, all pointing to major gaps in the
- 3:31Speaker 2: state's case. Once said there was quote nothing that put
- 3:34Speaker 2: her on the scene, while another admitted she started the
- 3:38Speaker 2: trial thinking Reed was guilty, but changed her mind during deliberations.
- 3:42Speaker 2: At the center of controversy as lead investigator Michael Procter
- 3:46Speaker 2: fired by the Massachusetts State Police for sending vulgar messages
- 3:50Speaker 2: about Reid. Proctor denies any misconduct and says claims he
- 3:54Speaker 2: tampered with evidence are quote ridiculous. Jurors names are now
- 3:59Speaker 2: sealed for safe but as public debate grows, key prosecution witnesses,
- 4:03Speaker 2: including Brian Albert, who hosted the party, and Jennifer McCabe,
- 4:08Speaker 2: called the verdict a devastating miscarriage of justice. Reed meanwhile
- 4:12Speaker 2: told reporters no one has fought harder for justice for
- 4:16Speaker 2: John O'Keefe than I have. The district attorney, Michael Morrissey said,
- 4:20Speaker 2: only the jury has spoken. The US Supreme Court has
- 4:24Speaker 2: revived lawsuits brought by American victims of terrorist attacks in
- 4:28Speaker 2: the Middle East, reinstigating legal action against the Palestine Liberation
- 4:33Speaker 2: Organization PLO and the Palestinian Authority. The decision uphols a
- 4:39Speaker 2: twenty nineteen law passed by Congress to ensure these cases
- 4:42Speaker 2: could move forward after lower courts had repeatedly blocked them.
- 4:47Speaker 2: The attacks at the center of the lawsuits occurred in
- 4:49Speaker 2: the early two thousands, killing thirty three and injuring hundreds,
- 4:53Speaker 2: and in twenty eighteen, when an American born settler was
- 4:57Speaker 2: fatally stabbed in the West Bankvictims and their families alleged
- 5:01Speaker 2: the PLO and Palestinian authority were directly involved or helped
- 5:05Speaker 2: incite the violence. Palestinian leaders argue US courts have no jurisdiction.
- 5:11Speaker 2: The lawsuits were originally filed under the Anti Terrorism Act
- 5:15Speaker 2: of nineteen ninety two, a law intended to give US
- 5:18Speaker 2: victims of overseas terrorism a voice and American courts. With
- 5:22Speaker 2: the High Court's ruling, those long delayed cases may now proceed.
