- 1:15of when we go live or put up new
- 1:18content now we have a busy docket today
- 1:22not as busy as yesterday but we got some
- 1:24good stuff today for you
- 1:26first scott peterson could actually get
- 1:29a new trial now as you may recall
- 1:33scott peterson was convicted
- 1:36many years ago regarding the death of
- 1:38his wife
- 1:39and his unborn child he was given the
- 1:42death penalty
- 1:43and roughly about a month ago the
- 1:46california supreme court vacated
- 1:50the death penalty sentence for scott
- 1:52peterson
- 1:53well now in continued post
- 1:56conviction relief motions filed by scott
- 1:59peterson's attorneys
- 2:01the california supreme court has said
- 2:03you know what
- 2:05there may be one issue here that has
- 2:07some merit
- 2:08so we're going to order the california
- 2:10supreme court has ordered
- 2:12the trial court to hold a hearing
- 2:16regarding some juror conduct on the case
- 2:20this is the kind of thing that is going
- 2:22to make the prosecutor
- 2:24have a little bit of a pucker factor all
- 2:26right
- 2:27the same court that already threw out
- 2:31the death penalty conviction because the
- 2:34judge
- 2:34didn't allow qualified jurors to remain
- 2:40the supreme court has now said look into
- 2:42this juror misconduct
- 2:44which may have resulted in an unfair
- 2:46trial
- 2:48and if that hearing is held the court
- 2:51the trial court will have to decide
- 2:52whether a new trial is warranted
- 2:54and i assure you if the trial court
- 2:57denies scott peterson a new trial it
- 3:00will be appealed
- 3:01and ultimately it may get to the
- 3:04california supreme court
- 3:05now this court's already been found to
- 3:07have made error once
- 3:08do you think he wants to make it again
- 3:10do you think he wants to give
- 3:12scott peterson a new trial we'll have to
- 3:15wait and see
- 3:16the issue as it relates to this new
- 3:19hearing
- 3:20is to determine whether peterson should
- 3:22be granted a new trial on the grounds
- 3:24that
- 3:24juror number seven committed prejudicial
- 3:27misconduct
- 3:28by not disclosing her prior involvement
- 3:31with other
- 3:32legal proceedings including but not
- 3:35limited to
- 3:36being a victim of a crime so it is
- 3:38alleged in
- 3:39the petition and the california supreme
- 3:42court agrees
- 3:43that juror number seven may have
- 3:46committed prejudicial misconduct by not
- 3:48disclosing
- 3:49her prior involvement with other legal
- 3:50proceedings including but not
- 3:53limited to being a victim of a crime
- 3:56now this juror was initially an
- 3:59alternate
- 4:00juror but she was given a seat when
- 4:02another juror was discharged
- 4:04she loaded she later wrote a book about
- 4:07her experience according to peterson's
- 4:10attorneys
- 4:11they believe that juror number seven
- 4:13worked just a little too hard
- 4:15to get on the jury she reportedly
- 4:19claimed she was willing to serve
- 4:20despite her employer telling her she
- 4:22wouldn't be paid for her time
- 4:24as a result of her missing work this is
- 4:26significant as i said
- 4:28originally the california supreme court
- 4:30overturned peterson's death sentence due
- 4:32to significant errors in jury selection
- 4:35here it sounds like there may be a juror
- 4:38who literally wanted to get on the case
- 4:40maybe for financial gain maybe she had
- 4:42an agenda
- 4:43but she didn't report that she had
- 4:45involvement with the legal system
- 4:47including protection order cases that
- 4:49she was involved in
- 4:50of jury selection is called voidir and
- 4:53it means to speak the truth
- 4:55and what that means is that jurors are
- 4:56supposed to speak the truth
- 4:59and it's to find out at the end of the
- 5:01day whether somebody can be a fair and
- 5:03impartial juror
- 5:04and if you have a bias a motive for
- 5:08conviction or an acquittal as it relates
- 5:10to
- 5:11the parties in this particular case
- 5:13you're not giving the other side a fair
- 5:16shot and if you have a juror who is
- 5:18biased and she took that bias and maybe
- 5:21tainted
- 5:21the other jurors that will also be
- 5:24significant
- 5:25the fact that the supreme court has
- 5:26already said
- 5:28there was juror issues and now it's
- 5:30being remanded
- 5:31to develop a further record as it
- 5:33relates to juror issues
- 5:35makes me think scott peterson may
- 5:37actually have a shot at this
- 5:39and the other reason is it's california
- 5:42everything drags on in california from
- 5:44what i can tell not licensed there but
- 5:46it just seems like everything always
- 5:48drags on
- 5:49in california now you have to remember
- 5:51you also have to remember was that there
- 5:53was no
- 5:53physical evidence relating to
- 5:57scott peterson actually being involved
- 6:00in the death of his
- 6:01wife and son it was circumstantial now
- 6:03don't get me wrong
- 6:05there was some pretty strong
- 6:06circumstantial evidence which would show
- 6:08some consciousness of guilt
- 6:10let's take a quick look at that first
- 6:12trained dogs picked up lacy
- 6:14scent at the berkeley marina where
- 6:16peterson claimed he went fishing
- 6:18when lacey vanished obviously her
- 6:20remains were found later
- 6:21close to the same area peterson visited
- 6:24the crime scene repeatedly
- 6:26the tarp that peterson used on his
- 6:28fishing trip was covered in gasoline in
- 6:30his shed
- 6:31gasoline was known by several people to
- 6:35destroy dna at that time perhaps it's
- 6:38just a coincidence
- 6:39another tarp was found buried in
- 6:41fertilizer also known to destroy dna
- 6:44that was according to dr henry lee who
- 6:46testified at peterson's trial
- 6:48now peterson told detectives he stopped
- 6:50fishing because it began
- 6:51to rain although there was no
- 6:53precipitation in the berkeley
- 6:55marina on the day in question according
- 6:58to the harbor master
- 6:59peterson claimed lacey was watching a
- 7:02cooking segment on television
- 7:03when he left their home on december 24th
- 7:06but
- 7:06the show he referenced actually aired on
- 7:09december 23rd
- 7:10lacey wore a diamond necklace sapphire
- 7:13ring and
- 7:14banned each and every time she left her
- 7:16home
- 7:17on the day she disappeared the jewelry
- 7:19was left in her bedroom
- 7:21now after lacey and connor's remains
- 7:23were found
- 7:24authorities caught peterson close to the
- 7:26mexico border
- 7:27with his hair and beard died blonde an
- 7:30identification that didn't belong to him
- 7:33several credit cards closed knives four
- 7:35cell phones
- 7:36a rope camping supplies and roughly
- 7:39fifteen
- 7:39thousand dollars in cash circumstantial
- 7:42evidence possibly
- 7:44the jury believes so was it enough to
- 7:47convict
- 7:48well it was several years ago back in
- 7:512004
- 7:52would it be enough to do it again today
- 7:54we'll have to wait and see if scott
- 7:56peterson gets a new trial
- 7:58next on the docket a creepy medical
- 8:00technician
- 8:01schedules some follow-up appointments
- 8:03that's right
- 8:05a missouri medical technician has been
- 8:08charged with sexual abuse and invasion
- 8:10of privacy after he allegedly set up a
- 8:12fake ct scan for a woman who had an
- 8:16x-ray
- 8:16earlier in the day ryan williams 39 will
- 8:19give him the presumption of innocence
- 8:21was the x-ray technician who saw the
- 8:24victim when she reported
- 8:25to the mercy lincoln hospital in troy
- 8:28oklahoma
- 8:29back on october 3rd of this year that
- 8:31was done at her doctor's request
- 8:33after the x-ray the woman went home at 7
- 8:3630 pm prosecutors allege that williams
- 8:39called her
- 8:40and asked her to return to the hospital
- 8:42for another exam because
- 8:44they saw something and they wanted to
- 8:46check it out
- 8:47needless to say the patient returned to
- 8:49the hospital roughly 30 minutes later
- 8:51where williams escorted her to the ct
- 8:53scan room
- 8:54and gave her a gown he had her lay on
- 8:56the table and lifted her gown
- 8:58touching her breast while placing
- 9:00stickers during the scan
- 9:01according to investigators after the
- 9:03exam william showed her a scan and said
- 9:05the doctor
- 9:06was concerned she may have lymphoma but
- 9:09two days later
- 9:10when she contacted her doctor she was
- 9:12told there was no such
- 9:13history of such a scan she also learned
- 9:15williams had accessed her medical
- 9:17records
- 9:18from the hospital system police
- 9:20investigators found out that williams
- 9:21had been searching hospital records
- 9:24for non-elderly adult women who had
- 9:27potential health issues
- 9:28involving their private parts
- 9:31investigators are concerned that there
- 9:32may be actually
- 9:33more victims with similar acts as he was
- 9:36working at the hospital for some time
- 9:38the hospital of course has launched an
- 9:39internal investigation and
- 9:42mr williams has some legal issues
- 9:44forthcoming
- 9:45just shows ladies and gentlemen there's
- 9:48always
- 9:49someone out there that you think is
- 9:51supposed to be doing good
- 9:53and is doing something weird and creepy
- 9:56next on the docket let's give you a good
- 9:59example
- 9:59of what is not self-defense
- 10:03well there is a case out of detroit
- 10:06right now
- 10:07and it happened on the east side of
- 10:10detroit at a 7
- 10:116 or 76 gas station and
- 10:15the police say that the clerk at the gas
- 10:18station
- 10:19saw joshua lewis he was 30 years old
- 10:22and allegedly stealing from a coin
- 10:24change machine
- 10:25the clerk did the obvious thing right
- 10:27pick up the phone and call the police
- 10:29maybe just make sure the cameras are
- 10:31going so that you can see it all
- 10:32no no no no this clerk picked up an
- 10:35ak-47
- 10:37fired a single shot through the safety
- 10:40glass
- 10:40and guess what mr lewis was killed by
- 10:43the round
- 10:44that pierced through the safety glass
- 10:46and obviously striking him
- 10:48needless to say the police are treating
- 10:49this as a homicide
- 10:51as well it should be you do not
- 10:54get to justify using deadly force when
- 10:58someone is stealing

- 13:58family is devastated and we'll see if

- 14:08all right ladies you don't like your
- 14:10husband your ex-husband
- 14:12get rid of them that's right and look
- 14:14for a 17 year old to do it you know
- 14:16they're going to be thorough about it
- 14:17right
- 14:18yeah not so much well guess what a woman
- 14:22in washington state is being accused of
- 14:24offering a 17 year old
- 14:2613 000 to get rid of her ex-husband
- 14:30shireen kelly allegedly got joshua good
- 14:33to attack her former spouse
- 14:35and the teenager assassin in turn got
- 14:37another kid by the name of quincy
- 14:39mendez to act as a getaway driver that's
- 14:42not even the most bizarre
- 14:44thing about this is that the victim
- 14:47baron lee was shot nine
- 14:50times and survived apparently the victim
- 14:53fell to the ground
- 14:54and the suspect stood over him and
- 14:56continued to fire according to the
- 14:58police reports
- 14:59now lee the victim states of course i
- 15:02knew she was crazy
- 15:03did i know she was capable of doing
- 15:05something like this he says
- 15:07of course without a doubt
- 15:10now good shot lee nine times
- 15:13outside of his apartment and
- 15:14miraculously none of the rounds hit
- 15:16any organs or arteries that left alive a
- 15:20witness victim
- 15:21with a lot to tell police lee reportedly
- 15:24told the cops
- 15:25that the only person he could think of
- 15:27behind
- 15:28this was his ex-wife kelly they've been
- 15:31apparently fighting for custody for five
- 15:35years
- 15:35over their six-year-old son gee do you
- 15:38think you may figure who's gonna get
- 15:40custody at this point
- 15:41the real target according to lee was not
- 15:43him he was the outlet
- 15:45i was in the way the target's my son and
- 15:48i'm glad he's going to be safe now
- 15:49according to lee
- 15:50the child also apparently has a trust
- 15:52fund from a settlement after
- 15:54he sustained a brain injury as an
- 15:57infant lee alleges that his ex-wife was
- 15:59really only
- 16:00there to collect the money police also
- 16:03were able to
- 16:03link kelly to the crime after finding a
- 16:06tracking device on the victim's car
- 16:08using online records to connect that
- 16:11device
- 16:12to miss kelly now mr lee
- 16:15says he doesn't blame good and menendez
- 16:17because they're kids
- 16:19who did something really stupid like
- 16:21shot him nine times
- 16:22needless to say now kelly good and
- 16:25menendez face
- 16:26a case for attempted first-degree murder
- 16:28kids are being tried as an adult
- 16:30and an arraignment is set for october
- 16:3226th of this year
- 16:34you just can't make this stuff up ladies
- 16:36and gentlemen next on the docket
- 16:38some new information that comes out
- 16:41regarding the george floyd matter
- 16:43in some recent filings made by the
- 16:45prosecution in this case
- 16:46the prosecutors are alleging they're
- 16:48filing that during the first five
- 16:50minutes
- 16:50mr floyd was pinned and yelled i can't
- 16:53breathe
- 16:54more than 20 times and called out for
- 16:56his deceased mother almost a dozen times
- 16:59he told the officers almost 10 times
- 17:02that he feared he would die he stated
- 17:04repeatedly please
- 17:05your knee in my neck floyd pleaded tell
- 17:08my kids i love them
- 17:10after four minutes floyd's cries became
- 17:12softer and soon his screams turned into
- 17:14grunts
- 17:15and his grunts into mumbles floyd
- 17:18uttered his last words
- 17:20around 20 minutes 23 seconds
- 17:24into the video that's when he fell
- 17:26silent and lost
- 17:27consciousness according to the
- 17:29prosecutor's filing over
- 17:31four and a half minutes floyd was silent
- 17:33according to the pleadings by the
- 17:35prosecutor
- 17:36for at least three of those minutes
- 17:38floyd appeared to be
- 17:40not breathing and for at least two and a
- 17:42half minutes the officers were
- 17:44unable to locate floyd's pulse
- 17:47prosecutors further
- 17:49say in their filings that conserved
- 17:50bystanders frantically warned the cops
- 17:5310 times the floyd was no longer moving
- 17:56warned them nine times that floyd was
- 17:57unresponsive
- 17:58and pleaded with them nearly 30 times to
- 18:01check mr floyd's pulse
- 18:03even as the bystanders plead with
- 18:05officer chauvin to remove his knee
- 18:07from floyd's neck chauvin rolled his
- 18:10knee back and forth
- 18:11pressing it into floyd's neck and
- 18:13maintaining pressure on floyd's
- 18:15breathing
- 18:15that's what the prosecutors allege now
- 18:18chauvin
- 18:18is facing charges of second-degree
- 18:20murder second-degree manslaughter and
- 18:22third-degree murder
- 18:23and he was actually released from
- 18:25custody last week on a one million
- 18:27dollar bond
- 18:28the other officers lane kunig and tao
- 18:30are each charged with aiding and
- 18:32abetting murder
- 18:33and manslaughter and once again this was
- 18:36all over
- 18:37a counterfeit 20 bill we certainly don't
- 18:40condone people passing
- 18:41fake twenty dollar bills to anybody but
- 18:43as we saw
- 18:44yesterday from the video that we put up
- 18:47about the officer
- 18:48who exercised great restraint when
- 18:52not shooting someone when actually they
- 18:54justifiably
- 18:55would have been justified the floyd case
- 18:57is a perfect example
- 18:59of officers going to the extreme
- 19:03and ignoring the circumstances around
- 19:06them
- 19:06if there is a conviction in this case it
