00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.400
Callaroga Shark Media, Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Tuesday, December thirtieth,
2
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.600
twenty twenty five. Yesterday we covered Jody Arius's obsession with
3
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.960
Travis Alexander and the brutal murder she committed on June fourth,
4
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.879
two thousand and eight, twenty seven stab wounds, slit throat,
5
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.679
gunshot to the head, three different lies, trying to explain
6
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:34.159
it away. Today, the trial that captivated America, the testimony
7
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.159
that went on for eighteen days, and the verdict Jody
8
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.439
Arias said would never happen. January twenty thirteen, Maricopa County
9
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:48.000
Superior Court, Phoenix, Arizona, Judge Sherry Stevens presiding prosecutor Juan
10
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.719
Martinez for the state. Defense attorneys Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer
11
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.679
Wilmot for Jody Arias. The prosecution sought the death penalty
12
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.719
first degree murder with aggravating factors. They argued Jody Arius
13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.159
premeditated the murder, drove over one thousand miles with a
14
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.879
stolen gun and gas cans, and killed Travis Alexander in
15
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.560
an especially cruel manner. The defense argued self defense, that
16
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.400
Travis was an abuser, that Jody was a victim of
17
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.159
domestic violence who had no choice but to fight back,
18
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.120
that twenty seven stab wounds and a slit throat were
19
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.760
reasonable force against a man who was trying to kill her.
20
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.599
What followed was a trial unlike anything America had ever seen.
21
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.280
The courtroom was packed every day, hundreds of people lined
22
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:35.000
up for the few public seats. Cable news covered it live,
23
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:41.280
every objection, every sidebar, every dramatic moment. HLN's Nancy Grace
24
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:47.239
made it a nightly obsession. Social media exploded with opinions, theories, hashtags.
25
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.519
The Toronto Star called it what it was when the
26
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.439
justice system becomes entertainment. And at the center of it
27
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.599
all sat Jody Arius, twenty eight years old when she
28
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.519
killed Travis Alexander, thirty two, when she took the stand,
29
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.439
ready to tell her story for as long as it took.
30
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:12.520
Eighteen days. She testified for eighteen days, unprecedented in American
31
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:17.960
legal history. I'm reed, Carter, this is Celebrity Trials Today,
32
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.479
Part two. The trial, the testimony, the verdict, and the
33
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.280
woman who said no jury would convict her sitting in
34
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.159
an Arizona prison cell for the rest of her natural life.
35
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:35.599
This is what happens when narcissism meets Justice. January second,
36
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:41.479
twenty thirteen. Opening statements. Prosecutor Juan Martinez was aggressive from
37
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:45.879
the first word. He laid out the case methodically. Jodiarius
38
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.759
planned this murder, stole a gun from her grandparents, borrowed
39
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.319
gas cans to avoid leaving a trail, drove one thousand
40
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.240
miles to Travis Alexander's house, had sex with him, photographed
41
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.280
him in the shower, then stabbed him twenty seven times times,
42
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.800
slit his throat, and shot him in the head. Martinez
43
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.599
showed the crime scene photos, the blood, Travis's body in
44
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.039
the shower, the wounds. He wanted the jury to see
45
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:15.520
exactly what Jody Arius had done. This is not a
46
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.280
prior girlfriend, This is a prior stalker, Martinez told the jury,
47
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.759
a prior stalker that had been told the relationship was over,
48
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.879
but she just wouldn't leave. The defense told a different story.
49
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.840
Travis Alexander was not the victim. They argued he was
50
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.599
an abuser, a man who used Jody for sex while
51
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.719
treating her like a dirty secret, a man with dark
52
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.199
sexual appetites who manipulated and controlled her. Jody Arius killed
53
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.360
Travis Alexander. Defense attorney Kirk Nurmi admitted in his opening
54
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.039
there's no question about it. The million dollar question is
55
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.080
what would have forced her to do it. Their answer
56
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.439
self defense. Travis attacked her on June fourth, when she
57
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.439
dropped the camera. She had no choice but to fight back.
58
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.240
It was kill or be killed. But here's where the
59
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.639
defense had a problem. Twenty seven stab wounds, a throat,
60
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.879
cut to the spine, a gunshot to the head. That's
61
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:16.160
not fighting off an attacker. That's overkill. That's rage, that's murder.
62
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.839
Nurmi tried to address it. She's not proud that she
63
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.360
had to take Travis's life. It was horrible, it was wrong,
64
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:29.839
but it was also necessary necessary. The trial lasted five months,
65
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.120
thirty eight witnesses for the prosecution, seventeen for the defense,
66
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:41.240
Expert testimony about DNA, blood spatter, psychology, domestic violence, thousands
67
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:46.120
of pages of exhibits, text messages, emails, phone records, the
68
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.160
sex tape Jody had secretly recorded without Travis's knowledge. Yes,
69
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.399
there was a sex tape. Jody recorded a phone sex
70
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.639
conversation between her and Travis in May two thousand and eight,
71
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.399
a month before the murder. The defense played it in court,
72
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:08.040
explicit content, embarrassing details about their relationship, Travis talking about
73
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.040
sexual fantasies. The defense wanted to show Travis was a hypocrite,
74
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.800
a devout Mormon who publicly preached purity while privately engaging
75
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.120
in explicit sexual behavior. They wanted to make him look
76
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.000
like the villain, like someone who deserved what happened. But
77
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:26.959
Martinez flipped the narrative. He pointed out that Jody recorded
78
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.560
that call without Travis's consent, that she kept it as leverage,
79
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.519
as a weapon. That's not the behavior of a victim.
80
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.120
That's the behavior of a manipulator planning ahead. Martinez also
81
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.639
introduced evidence of Jody's stalking behavior, the slashed tires, the
82
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.439
hacked accounts, the breaking into Travis's house, the friends who
83
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.319
warned Travis she was dangerous. Text messages between Travis and
84
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.519
Jody showed the deterioration of their relationship. Travis, you are
85
00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:02.680
the worst thing that ever happened to me. Travis a sociopath. Travis,
86
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.600
you don't know what horror you have caused me. These
87
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.399
weren't the words of an abuser. These were the words
88
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.879
of a man trying to escape a relationship that had
89
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.360
turned dangerous, But the most damning evidence came from Jody herself.
90
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.560
February fourth, twenty thirteen, Jody Aarriheas took the stand in
91
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:37.639
her own defense. She would testify for eighteen days direct examination,
92
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:43.920
cross examination, questions from the jury. Arizona allows jurors to
93
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:48.319
submit written questions for witnesses, hundreds of questions over nearly
94
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:53.680
three weeks. Criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos called it unprecedented.
95
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.720
No defendant in memory had ever testified for that long.
96
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.879
It was a calculated gamble by the defense. Let Jody
97
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.800
tell her story in her own words, make the jury
98
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:09.959
see her as human, as sympathetic. On direct examination, Jody
99
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:15.319
was composed, soft spoken, detailed. She walked through her childhood,
100
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.879
her relationship with Travis, the alleged abuse she suffered. She
101
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.639
claimed Travis had physically attacked her multiple times, choked her
102
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:27.319
until she passed out, kicked her, hit her. She claimed
103
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.920
he was obsessed with anal sex because he believed it
104
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.720
didn't violate Mormon law. She described their sexual encounters in
105
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.879
graphic detail. She held up a survivor T shirt she
106
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.279
said she was selling to benefit domestic violence victims. She
107
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.360
told the jury she donated her hair to Locks of Love.
108
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.839
She presented herself as a woman who had survived abuse
109
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.560
and was now trying to help others, and she told
110
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.079
her version of June fourth, two thousand and eight. According
111
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.399
to Jody, she was photographing Travis in the shower, dropped
112
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:01.240
the camera. Travis became enraged a linebacker. She said, he
113
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.560
body slammed her onto the tile floor, threatened to kill her.
114
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.839
She ran to the closet grabbed a gun, Travis's gun.
115
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.079
She claimed, he chased her, came at her. She raised
116
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.519
the gun and fired. Then her memory went blank. She
117
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.839
didn't remember the stabbing, didn't remember cutting his throat, had
118
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.199
no memory of anything until she was driving in the
119
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:25.759
desert covered in blood. I just remember noise, she testified,
120
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.199
and then I remember driving in the desert. The problem.
121
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.360
None of it made sense. The medical examiner testified that
122
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:38.320
the gunshot wound was likely inflicted last after the stab wounds.
123
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:43.639
The bullet trajectory suggested Travis was already incapacitated, possibly dead,
124
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.960
when he was shot. He didn't attack her after being shot.
125
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.600
He was already on the ground dying from twenty seven
126
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:51.919
stab wounds when she put a bullet in his head,
127
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.919
and there was no evidence Travis owned a gun. His
128
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.000
friends and family said he never had one. The only
129
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.679
gun connected to this case was the point two five
130
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.759
calibers stolen from Jody's grandparents weeks before the murder. Then
131
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.080
came Juan Martinez's cross examination. Martinez was relentless aggressive. He
132
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:16.200
paced the courtroom, shouted questions, demanded answers. His style was controversial.
133
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.200
The Appeals Court would later call some of his tactics
134
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:24.080
egregious and self promoting, but it was effective. He confronted
135
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.600
Jody with her lies three different stories. First, she wasn't there,
136
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:33.360
then intruders did it, now self defense? Which one was true?
137
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.600
Why should the jury believe this version when she'd lied
138
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.279
twice before? Ma'am? Were you crying when you were shooting him?
139
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:47.039
Martinez asked, I don't remember. Jody replied, were you crying
140
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.399
when you were stabbing him? I don't remember. How about
141
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.840
when you were slitting his throat? Were you crying then?
142
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:58.360
I don't know. Martinez showed the autopsy photos the stab
143
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.799
wounds to Travis's back, nine of them. How do you
144
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.480
stab someone nine times in the back in self defense
145
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.000
when they're running away from you. He pointed out the
146
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:13.000
defensive wounds on Travis's hands. Travis didn't attack her. Travis
147
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.320
tried to defend himself against her attack. The evidence showed
148
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.200
he was the one fighting for his life. Jody had
149
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.360
an answer for everything, but her answers didn't add up.
150
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.919
The jurors submitted over one hundred and fifty questions for her,
151
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.120
more than any other witness. They were skeptical. They wanted clarity,
152
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.360
and Jody couldn't provide it. On redirect the defense tried
153
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.080
to rehabilitate her, but the damage was done. Eighteen days
154
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.120
of testimony and Jody Aarius had failed to convince the
155
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.039
jury she was anything other than what the prosecutor said.
156
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.559
She was a stalker, a liar, and a murderer. We'll
157
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.279
be right back with the verdict Jody Arius said would
158
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.159
never happen and the life sentence she said was worse
159
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:16.240
than death. May eighth, twenty thirteen, after fifteen hours of deliberation,
160
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.000
the jury returned to the courtroom. All twelve jurors found
161
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.720
Jody Arius guilty of first degree murder, five jurors found
162
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.080
her guilty of premeditated murder, seven found her guilty of
163
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:31.840
both premeditated murder and felony murder. Every single juror rejected
164
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.600
her self defense claim. When the verdict was read, Travis's
165
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:40.960
family smiled, hugged each other, cried with relief. Outside the courthouse,
166
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:47.879
crowds cheered, chanted, celebrated. Jody Rheus sat expressionless. The woman
167
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.759
who'd said, no jury is going to convict me had
168
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:53.559
just been convicted by a unanimous jury of the most
169
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.240
serious charge she could face. But the case wasn't over.
170
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:02.279
This was a capital case. The prosecution sought the death penalty,
171
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.519
and under Arizona law, the same jury had to decide
172
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:10.840
whether Jody deserved to die. The aggravation phase came first.
173
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.200
The prosecution had to prove the murder was especially cruel,
174
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:18.200
that Travis suffered, that he experienced physical pain and mental
175
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:23.279
anguish before he died. The medical examiner testified described the wounds,
176
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.919
the defensive cuts on Travis's hands he'd grabbed at the
177
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.279
knife blade, the stab wound to his heart that didn't
178
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.720
kill him immediately, the terror he must have felt as
179
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.879
he was being butchered by someone he knew. The jury
180
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:41.519
agreed unanimously the murder was especially cruel. Jody Arius was
181
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.879
eligible for the death penalty. Then came the penalty phase,
182
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.519
life or death. The jury had to decide. Travis's family
183
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.759
gave victim impact statements. His siblings described the brother they'd lost,
184
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:59.840
the hole in their family, the nightmares, the trauma. Stephen Alexander,
185
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:04.559
Travis's brother, addressed Jody directly, you took away our brother's life.
186
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.200
You took away our future, You took away our joy.
187
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.840
Jody gave an elocution, a statement pleading for her life.
188
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.679
She acknowledged that asking for life in prison was a
189
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.159
reversal from earlier comments where she'd said she preferred death.
190
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.000
Each time I said that, I meant it, but I
191
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.200
lacked perspective, she said. She held up the survivor T
192
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:32.240
shirt again, said she'd donate the proceeds to domestic violence victims.
193
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.480
Said she'd donate her hair to charity. Tried one last
194
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.200
time to present herself as sympathetic, but the jury couldn't agree.
195
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.399
After days of deliberation, they were deadlocked. Eight voted for death,
196
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.840
four voted for life. Not unanimous mistrial on the penalty phase.
197
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:53.120
A new penalty trial was ordered for twenty fourteen. A
198
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:58.759
new jury same evidence, same questions, life or death. March
199
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.039
twenty fifteen, the second jury, also deadlocked, couldn't reach a
200
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:08.600
unanimous decision. Some voted death, some voted life, no consensus.
201
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.960
Under Arizona law, when two juries fail to agree on
202
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.639
the death penalty, that option is removed. The judge decides
203
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:19.240
between life with possibility of parole after twenty five years,
204
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:26.320
or life without parole. April thirteenth, twenty fifteen, Judge Sherry
205
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.639
Stevens announced her decision life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
206
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:36.879
Jody Arius would die in prison. She would never be free,
207
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:42.960
but she would also never face execution. At sentencing, Jody apologized,
208
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:45.720
I wish there was something I could do to take
209
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:50.960
it back, she said. Travis's sister Samantha responded, Jody took
210
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:55.639
Travis's life, but we are the ones suffering. Jody Arius
211
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:59.559
was transported to the Arizona State Prison Complex, Perryville in
212
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:03.000
good Year, Arizona. She was thirty four years old. She
213
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:09.120
would spend the rest of her life behind bars. As
214
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.080
of December twenty twenty five, Jody Arius is forty five
215
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.080
years old. She's been in prison for over ten years,
216
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:19.919
still serving her life sentence at Perryville, still claiming she's
217
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.639
the victim. She lost her appeal. In March twenty twenty,
218
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.879
the Arizona Court of Appeals acknowledged that prosecutor Juan Martinez's
219
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:32.039
conduct was egregious and self promoting. He was later disbarred
220
00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:36.399
for unrelated misconduct. But the court upheld Jody's conviction anyway,
221
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:41.559
citing overwhelming evidence of her guilt. In November twenty twenty,
222
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.600
the Arizona Supreme Court declined to review her case. Her
223
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.639
conviction stands, but Jody hasn't given up. In twenty twenty five,
224
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:56.080
she signaled she's pursuing post conviction relief, another legal avenue
225
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.639
to challenge her conviction. She claims the trial was unfair,
226
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.639
that media coverage prejudiced the jury, that she deserves a
227
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.720
new trial. Meanwhile, she's found ways to stay in the
228
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.639
spotlight from prison. She works as a library aid, teaches
229
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:16.200
creative writing classes, sells artwork online, paintings and drawings that
230
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.519
reportedly sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars. She has
231
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.559
a substack blog where she posts about her life behind bars.
232
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.679
Some of the artwork proceeds go toward her legal fund,
233
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.600
some go toward restitution. She owes over four hundred sixty
234
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.320
eight thousand dollars to Travis Alexander's estate, and she still
235
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.879
has fans supporters who believe she's innocent, or that she
236
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.679
was abused, or that she was treated unfairly. She allegedly
237
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.720
receives marriage proposals weekly from men who've become obsessed with her.
238
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.360
The irony is lost on no one. Jodiarius was a
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.400
2
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.600

00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.679

00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:34.159

00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.159
8
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.439
9
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:48.000
10
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.719
11
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.679

00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.719
