Christa Pike Believed Brain Dead, Then Awake and Walking, Tennessee Won't Rule Out a Second Execution, Tyreek Hill's Wife Testifies in Miami

Christa Pike Believed Brain Dead, Then Awake and Walking, Tennessee Won't Rule Out a Second Execution, Tyreek Hill's Wife Testifies in Miami

Christa Gail Pike's attorneys believed she was brain dead Monday night and expected her to be taken off life support Tuesday. Instead, attorney Randy Spivey said, she woke up and began talking — "to the shock of everyone," including her medical team. She has pneumonia, a blood clot, and no function in either arm, remains handcuffed and shackled, and her lawyers say there could be permanent damage. On Wednesday, Davidson County Chancellor I'Ashea Myles ordered Tennessee to preserve all evidence from the Sept. 30 failed execution — IV lines, needles, drugs, records, 911 calls, log books, communications and anything concerning deviations from protocol — declining to rely on an existing federal order. Asked whether the execution would be rescheduled, the state's attorney said he was not in a position to answer. Also: Lakeeta "Keeta" Vaccaro testified for more than three hours in her civil assault and battery trial against Tyreek Hill in Miami; he denies all of it and has not been charged. And a Tennessee jury is weighing whether former paramedic Matthew Konen killed his wife Rachel Konen and her father David Rodgers. Garret Fisher reports.

Calaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.630 --> 00:00:10.070
Good morning.

3
00:00:10.330 --> 00:00:13.509
This is Daily Crime and Justice from Calaroga Media, powered

4
00:00:13.529 --> 00:00:19.250
by AI. I'm Garrett Fisher. It's Friday, October 9th, 2026.

5
00:00:19.250 --> 00:00:21.989
On Monday night, Krista Pike's lawyers were told she was

6
00:00:22.149 --> 00:00:25.190
brain dead and that life support would be withdrawn the

7
00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:29.410
next day. On Tuesday, she woke up. By Wednesday, she

8
00:00:29.449 --> 00:00:32.439
was walking around her hospital room. And in a Nashville

9
00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.320
courtroom that same day, a lawyer for the state of

10
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.799
Tennessee was asked whether the state might try to execute

11
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:39.280
her again.

12
00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:41.060
He would not rule it out.

13
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.700
In Miami, one of the most famous wide receivers in

14
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:47.350
football sat a few feet from his estranged wife as

15
00:00:47.369 --> 00:00:49.090
she told a jury he tried to punch her in

16
00:00:49.109 --> 00:00:52.130
the stomach while she was pregnant with their daughter. Tyreek

17
00:00:52.149 --> 00:00:55.030
Hill denies all of it, and he has never been charged.

18
00:00:55.850 --> 00:00:58.789
And in Clarksville, Tennessee, a jury is deciding whether a

19
00:00:58.850 --> 00:01:02.140
former paramedic killed his wife and her father, or whether,

20
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.099
as he says, his father-in-law shot his daughter in the

21
00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:07.269
back and he was the one who stopped him.

22
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:08.719
Let's get into it.

23
00:01:12.209 --> 00:01:15.230
Here is the moment Krista Pike's lawyers described at their

24
00:01:15.290 --> 00:01:19.629
news conference on Wednesday. On Monday night, attorney Randy Spivey said,

25
00:01:19.969 --> 00:01:22.810
the legal team understood that she was brain dead and

26
00:01:22.849 --> 00:01:26.890
that life support would be removed on Tuesday. Then on Tuesday,

27
00:01:26.989 --> 00:01:29.909
in his words, to the shock of everyone, she woke

28
00:01:30.010 --> 00:01:33.569
up and began talking. He said that included the medical team.

29
00:01:33.849 --> 00:01:37.109
Her lawyers say she is angry and confused. She was

30
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:39.010
at peace when she was strapped to the gurney on

31
00:01:39.049 --> 00:01:42.430
September 30th. She woke up in a hospital surrounded by

32
00:01:42.510 --> 00:01:43.349
strangers with a.

33
00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:44.379
Tube down her throat.

34
00:01:45.109 --> 00:01:47.189
Spivey says she is very aware of what the state

35
00:01:47.230 --> 00:01:50.120
tried to do to her, up to a point. Another

36
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.560
of her lawyers, Stephen Farrell, spoke to the BBC late Wednesday.

37
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.239
He had not spoken to her directly, but he said

38
00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:59.260
he was told that, quote, she is up and walking

39
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.329
for the first time today. Just around the room, not

40
00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:05.849
very far. He described her mind as foggy, that she

41
00:02:05.909 --> 00:02:08.990
loses her train of thought easily. And he said there

42
00:02:09.009 --> 00:02:12.629
could be permanent damage. The physical picture is serious. Her

43
00:02:12.669 --> 00:02:14.949
lawyers say she has pneumonia and a blood clot in

44
00:02:15.030 --> 00:02:17.599
one arm. She cannot use either of her arms right now.

45
00:02:18.139 --> 00:02:21.120
Both arms and hands are badly swollen from the IV lines,

46
00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:24.159
and nobody knows yet how much function she will get back.

47
00:02:24.979 --> 00:02:27.439
She is still handcuffed and shackled to her hospital bed.

48
00:02:28.009 --> 00:02:30.419
Her lawyers asked the judge to have the shackles removed

49
00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:32.919
while she is in that bed. It isn't clear yet

50
00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:37.740
whether that will happen. Now, the court hearing. Davidson County

51
00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:41.979
Chancellor Ayashia Miles granted the emergency motion from Pike's lawyers

52
00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:45.599
and ordered the state to preserve everything connected to that night.

53
00:02:46.129 --> 00:02:48.349
The IV lines, the needles, the.

54
00:02:48.310 --> 00:02:54.810
Drugs, the medical records, photographs, video, handwritten notes, checklists, communications

55
00:02:54.849 --> 00:02:59.310
between state officials, and witness accounts. The state had argued

56
00:02:59.330 --> 00:03:01.909
that a court order wasn't necessary because the Department of

57
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.300
Correction was already preserving evidence under a separate federal court order.

58
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.919
The judge was not persuaded. As she put it, quote,

59
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.780
efforts are different from a court order. She also addressed

60
00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:16.599
something Pike's lawyers had complained about, getting in to see

61
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.979
their own client. On Tuesday, they say they had to

62
00:03:20.020 --> 00:03:22.620
wait two and a half hours. Under the judge's order,

63
00:03:22.810 --> 00:03:25.349
they now email the warden at least two hours ahead,

64
00:03:25.729 --> 00:03:27.590
and the warden has to answer within that window.

65
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.560
Then came the exchange that matters most.

66
00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:33.360
The state's attorney told the court that there is no

67
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.000
execution order pending for Krista Pike right now, but he

68
00:03:37.099 --> 00:03:39.500
said he could not rule out that another one would

69
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:40.819
be issued in the future.

70
00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:44.110
That is why her lawyers fought for this evidence.

71
00:03:44.830 --> 00:03:48.430
If Tennessee tries again, everything that happened on September 30th

72
00:03:48.569 --> 00:03:51.669
becomes the core of the argument that a second attempt.

73
00:03:51.449 --> 00:03:54.210
Would be cruel and unusual punishment.

74
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.180
Luke Enin, one of her attorneys, said afterward that this

75
00:03:58.219 --> 00:04:02.759
hearing was, quote, just a first step of many. Her

76
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.219
team is still asking Governor Bill Lee to commute her

77
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.620
sentence to life without parole. The governor has not said

78
00:04:08.659 --> 00:04:12.020
what he will do, and Lee is term limited. He

79
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.620
leaves office in January. I said this yesterday and I'll

80
00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:19.089
say it again because it keeps getting more real. The

81
00:04:19.149 --> 00:04:21.990
state of Tennessee is now paying doctors to save the

82
00:04:22.050 --> 00:04:23.930
life of a woman it spent two and a half

83
00:04:23.970 --> 00:04:27.389
hours trying to end. If she recovers, the state will

84
00:04:27.430 --> 00:04:30.540
have to decide whether to start over. There is no

85
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.360
rule book for this. And none of it changes what

86
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:38.220
happened in 1995. Colleen Slemmer was 19 years old. Her

87
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.720
family has waited more than 30 years for an ending,

88
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.379
and they still don't have one. Someone has to say

89
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:49.019
her name. When we come back, Tyreek Hill. his estranged wife,

90
00:04:49.319 --> 00:05:03.160
and a jury in Miami. Tyreek Hill is one of

91
00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:06.279
the fastest players the NFL has ever seen. He won

92
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.939
a Super Bowl with Kansas City. He spent the last

93
00:05:08.980 --> 00:05:11.899
few seasons in Miami. Right now he's a free agent,

94
00:05:12.170 --> 00:05:15.149
and on Monday his agent told ESPN he could sign

95
00:05:15.170 --> 00:05:18.209
with a team within days. possibly back with the Chiefs.

96
00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:21.860
On Tuesday, he was sitting in a Miami courtroom instead.

97
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.160
This is a civil trial, not a criminal one. Hill's

98
00:05:26.220 --> 00:05:29.639
estranged wife, Lakita Vaccaro, is suing him for assault and

99
00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:33.220
battery as part of their divorce. She is seeking damages.

100
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.759
Hill has denied every allegation. He has not been charged

101
00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:39.600
with a crime, and police who responded to disputes between

102
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.439
them did not file charges. Vaccaro testified for more than

103
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.660
three hours. She told the jury the abuse began in

104
00:05:46.699 --> 00:05:50.740
January of 2024, about two months after their wedding. During

105
00:05:50.899 --> 00:05:54.019
arguments over a post-nuptial agreement, she says he pressured her

106
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:57.579
to sign. Her lawyer told jurors the proposed agreement would

107
00:05:57.620 --> 00:06:00.579
have given her $ 1 for any claim of emotional harm.

108
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:06.389
The allegation getting the most attention is from July of 2024.

109
00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:10.230
Vaccaro testified that after a visit to ESPN's headquarters, back

110
00:06:10.269 --> 00:06:12.730
at their hotel, Hill tried to punch her in the

111
00:06:12.769 --> 00:06:15.569
stomach while she was pregnant with their daughter, and that

112
00:06:15.649 --> 00:06:17.529
she blocked the punch with her hands.

113
00:06:18.310 --> 00:06:21.470
She called that day, quote, probably the worst of all

114
00:06:21.509 --> 00:06:22.430
these abuse times.

115
00:06:23.069 --> 00:06:26.079
She also described him pulling out her hair, throwing her

116
00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:28.879
out of the house, and spitting at her. Her lawyer,

117
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.439
Paul Schweep, told the jury up front that they would

118
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.939
not see many photographs, because most of this happened behind

119
00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:39.839
closed doors. He put it this way, quote, Lakita wasn't

120
00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:42.379
trying to build a case. She was trying to build

121
00:06:42.430 --> 00:06:45.670
a life. He also played video from a camera in

122
00:06:45.709 --> 00:06:49.629
their child's bedroom. The judge did not allow the media

123
00:06:49.649 --> 00:06:53.709
to broadcast it. Reporters in the room described Vaccaro screaming

124
00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:56.259
for him to stop and her mother asking him to

125
00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:00.600
leave her alone. Now the defense, and they have real arguments.

126
00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:04.399
Hill's attorney, Christy Bright, told the jury the most objective

127
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.730
witnesses in this case are police officers. Officers from three

128
00:07:08.750 --> 00:07:12.110
different departments responded to disputes between the couple, she said,

129
00:07:12.610 --> 00:07:15.050
and they were obligated to make an arrest if the

130
00:07:15.230 --> 00:07:18.540
evidence supported one. Not one of them, she said, found

131
00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:22.279
a single mark or bruise. She acknowledged that the bedroom

132
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.480
video shows her client using bad language, but she said

133
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:29.279
it shows no abuse. She also pointed out that Vaccaro's

134
00:07:29.339 --> 00:07:33.379
original divorce filing said nothing about domestic violence and that

135
00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:37.480
the abuse allegations came later, in an amended petition. after

136
00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:41.860
the divorce wasn't going the way Vaccaro wanted. On cross-examination,

137
00:07:42.139 --> 00:07:46.439
Hill's lawyers pressed her on inconsistencies between her testimony and

138
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.800
her earlier deposition, and on her timeline. Hill's team has

139
00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:53.639
called this, in so many words, an attempt to get

140
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.240
money out of him. There is one more piece of context.

141
00:07:57.939 --> 00:08:01.790
In 2014, in college, Hill was charged with domestic violence

142
00:08:01.910 --> 00:08:05.610
involving a different woman. He pleaded guilty and completed three

143
00:08:05.649 --> 00:08:09.019
years of probation. That's a matter of public record. It

144
00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:11.459
is not evidence that he did what Vaccaro says he did,

145
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.000
and jurors may not be allowed to hear it. Meanwhile,

146
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:19.620
the NFL is investigating Hill under its personal conduct policy,

147
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.689
and the league has arranged to see portions of his

148
00:08:22.730 --> 00:08:27.089
deposition from the divorce case. So whatever this jury decides,

149
00:08:27.310 --> 00:08:29.370
it may not be the last word on his career.

150
00:08:29.689 --> 00:08:32.679
Here's how I see it. This case comes down to

151
00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:36.279
one woman's word against one man's, and a jury will

152
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.000
decide whom it believes. A lack of photographs doesn't mean

153
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:44.009
nothing happened. Plenty of abuse leaves no marks and no witnesses.

154
00:08:44.610 --> 00:08:47.070
But a lack of evidence is also exactly what a

155
00:08:47.110 --> 00:08:50.629
person who's been falsely accused would point to. That's why

156
00:08:50.669 --> 00:08:52.950
we have juries, and that's why I'm not gonna tell

157
00:08:52.970 --> 00:08:54.750
you what to think about Tyreek Hill.

158
00:08:55.289 --> 00:08:56.149
Watch the evidence.

159
00:08:56.669 --> 00:09:00.090
When we come back, a ring camera, a pistol, and

160
00:09:00.169 --> 00:09:02.830
two very different stories about what happened in a Tennessee

161
00:09:02.870 --> 00:09:16.419
dining room. Rachel Conan was 30 years old. She had

162
00:09:16.539 --> 00:09:19.879
four children, the oldest was seven, and the youngest was one.

163
00:09:20.860 --> 00:09:24.899
On the afternoon of January 20th, 2021, a camera in

164
00:09:24.940 --> 00:09:28.440
her bedroom recorded her packing for a ski trip. About

165
00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:31.720
half an hour later, the same camera recorded her father,

166
00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:35.429
David Rogers, 62, coming into the room playing with three

167
00:09:35.470 --> 00:09:38.970
of his grandchildren. The prosecutor described him to the jury

168
00:09:39.090 --> 00:09:43.129
as a devoted father and grandfather. By that evening, both

169
00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:46.049
of them were dead. Rachel had been shot once in

170
00:09:46.070 --> 00:09:48.590
the back in a hallway. Her father was on the

171
00:09:48.629 --> 00:09:51.500
dining room floor with severe injuries to his face and

172
00:09:51.539 --> 00:09:54.840
a fractured skull. The only other adult in the house

173
00:09:54.899 --> 00:09:59.000
was Rachel's husband, Matthew Conan. He was a Nashville paramedic.

174
00:09:59.379 --> 00:10:01.159
He and Rachel were in the middle of a divorce

175
00:10:01.259 --> 00:10:03.899
set to be final the next month after she found

176
00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:05.860
out he was having an affair with a co-worker.

177
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:08.340
Conan called 911.

178
00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:11.490
He told dispatchers that his father-in-law had shot Rachel and

179
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.389
that he had beaten Rogers with a gun. Prosecutors say

180
00:10:15.429 --> 00:10:17.490
you can hear him continuing to strike Rogers while he

181
00:10:17.509 --> 00:10:20.370
was on the phone. Conan was charged with both murders

182
00:10:20.470 --> 00:10:25.370
in 2021. In 2023, prosecutors dropped the charges, saying they

183
00:10:25.409 --> 00:10:28.549
could be brought again if the evidence got stronger. In

184
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:32.159
May of 2025, a grand jury indicted him again. He

185
00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:35.600
has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder.

186
00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:39.080
Here is the state's story. District Attorney General.

187
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.519
Robert Nash says the motive was money. Under the divorce terms,

188
00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:45.259
Conan would have paid nearly half his monthly income in

189
00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:49.600
child support and alimony for years. Jurors saw a text

190
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.519
he sent the woman he was seeing about a week

191
00:10:51.570 --> 00:10:55.710
before the killings, saying he was worried about money. Investigators

192
00:10:55.769 --> 00:10:59.690
found gunshot residue on Conan's hands and in his ears

193
00:10:59.769 --> 00:11:04.980
and nose. They found none on Roger's hands. And Nash's

194
00:11:05.019 --> 00:11:08.039
point to the jury was simple. The only person who

195
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.840
says David Rogers fired that gun is the only adult

196
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:11.659
who survived.

197
00:11:12.379 --> 00:11:13.710
Here is the defense's story.

198
00:11:14.330 --> 00:11:17.750
Attorney Kyle Mothershead says Conan saw a muzzle flash, saw

199
00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:20.899
Rachel fall, and saw his father-in-law turn the gun toward him.

200
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.580
He tackled Rogers, wrestled the gun away, cleared it, and

201
00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:28.320
hit him with it. He called 911, checked on Rachel,

202
00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:30.720
and when he came back and saw Rogers sitting up,

203
00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:33.840
he made a split-second decision that he was still a threat.

204
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.259
The defense also told jurors that Rogers had been acting strangely,

205
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.879
up all night before the shootings. searching his daughter's and

206
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.200
ex-wife's names on social media, showing up at the house unannounced.

207
00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:48.559
Withdrawn, and barely speaking.

208
00:11:49.460 --> 00:11:52.960
Several witnesses described him as quieter than usual or physically

209
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.960
sick in the weeks before. Jurors were given his medical

210
00:11:56.980 --> 00:12:00.070
and pharmacy records to read for themselves, which the public

211
00:12:00.090 --> 00:12:03.629
has not seen. On the forensics, the defense called crime

212
00:12:03.669 --> 00:12:08.190
scene expert Dr. Eric Warren, He testified that gunshot residue

213
00:12:08.230 --> 00:12:13.080
spreads easily and can transfer to anyone nearby. In his words, quote,

214
00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:16.100
it only tells you who was in the vicinity of

215
00:12:16.139 --> 00:12:19.460
the gun. He also told jurors the bullet hole in

216
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.659
the hallway wall was about 3.8 feet off the ground,

217
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:26.659
consistent with someone around six feet tall holding the gun normally.

218
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.279
That cuts in an interesting direction because the medical examiner

219
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:36.740
measured Rogers at 5'9, and Conan is about 6'3. The

220
00:12:37.820 --> 00:12:40.820
defense's answer is that height depends on how the shooter

221
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:45.039
was standing. On money, Conan's new wife, his parents, and

222
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:49.259
her mother, a retired Metro Nashville police commander, all testified

223
00:12:49.299 --> 00:12:51.529
that he knew they would help him financially if he

224
00:12:51.590 --> 00:12:54.629
needed it. His new wife told the jury he was

225
00:12:54.769 --> 00:12:58.730
not in financial trouble. The defense rested on Tuesday, and

226
00:12:58.789 --> 00:13:03.240
prosecutors began their rebuttal case on Wednesday. If he's convicted,

227
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.500
Conan faces up to life in prison. This jury could

228
00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:08.879
have the case any time now. I'll say what I

229
00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:11.860
say every time a defense points at someone who can't

230
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.620
answer back. David Rogers is not on trial, and he

231
00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:19.730
can't testify. The defense has every right to offer this theory,

232
00:13:19.990 --> 00:13:22.129
and the state has to prove its case beyond a

233
00:13:22.169 --> 00:13:25.870
reasonable doubt. But please remember that when you hear a

234
00:13:25.909 --> 00:13:29.649
dead man described as the killer, that is one side's argument,

235
00:13:29.909 --> 00:13:33.870
not a fact. Rachel Conan was 30, a mom of four,

236
00:13:34.009 --> 00:13:38.210
packing for a trip she never took. David Rogers was 62,

237
00:13:38.210 --> 00:13:41.350
a grandfather who spent his last afternoon playing with his grandkids.

238
00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:46.669
Someone has to say their names. The Peyton Fields Trial,

239
00:13:46.690 --> 00:13:50.429
a quick update from North Carolina, and an addition to

240
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.720
what I told you yesterday. On Wednesday, the jury in

241
00:13:53.740 --> 00:13:57.480
David Privat's trial watched three recorded forensic interviews of Peyton's

242
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.159
older sister. One from two days after Peyton was hospitalized,

243
00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:06.980
one from early 2018, and one from 2022. According to WECT,

244
00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:09.480
in one of those interviews, she said she believed her

245
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.600
uncle killed Peyton because she saw him walking away from

246
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.279
the couch that night, but that she did not remember

247
00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:18.000
what he was doing, did not see anything in his hands,

248
00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:21.120
and did not hear anything. And here's what I should

249
00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:25.769
have included yesterday. The girl's grandfather testified that earlier that

250
00:14:25.830 --> 00:14:29.470
same day, hours before Peyton was found, Her sister had

251
00:14:29.509 --> 00:14:32.269
been punished for putting a dog leash around Pétine' s neck

252
00:14:32.429 --> 00:14:35.870
and walking her around as part of a game. The

253
00:14:35.929 --> 00:14:39.629
defense has raised that in challenging the state's explanation for

254
00:14:39.669 --> 00:14:43.600
the marks on Pétine' s neck. The forensic pathologist, as I

255
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.860
told you, testified the marks were consistent with a cord

256
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.320
from a pair of earbuds. The jury will weigh all

257
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.570
of it. I should have given you both pieces, and

258
00:14:53.710 --> 00:14:58.220
now I have. Privat has pleaded not guilty. We'll be

259
00:14:58.259 --> 00:15:01.940
with this trial to the end. That's the show for

260
00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:05.679
this week. Here's my question for the Spotify crowd. In

261
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.080
a case like Tyreek Hills, where there are almost no

262
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.019
photographs and it comes down to two people's accounts, what

263
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.620
would you need to see to decide? If you're listening

264
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.159
on Spotify, drop a comment, I read them. If this

265
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:19.639
show has become part of your morning, the best thing

266
00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:21.850
you can do for it is tell one friend.

267
00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:24.809

To everyone already subscribed, thank you. It matters more than

273
00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:46.669
you know. Now Monday, Russell Brand goes on trial at

274
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.720
Southwark Crown Court in London. He has pleaded not guilty

275
00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:53.100
to seven charges, including three counts of rape, involving six

276
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:57.460
women and spanning 1999 to 2009. The trial is expected

277
00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:59.519
to run around 10 weeks, and we will be there

278
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:03.070
every day it matters. One thing you should know before

279
00:16:03.110 --> 00:16:06.269
we start, British courts work differently. The women who brought

280
00:16:06.289 --> 00:16:09.570
these complaints have lifelong anonymity under British law, so they

281
00:16:09.610 --> 00:16:12.350
will never be named on this show or anywhere else.

282
00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:16.240
And while the jury is sitting, British law limits commentary

283
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:19.120
that could affect the trial. So for the next few weeks,

284
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.360
you'll hear me tell you what happens in that courtroom,

285
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.399
and I'll save the opinions for after the verdict. That's

286
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.309
not me being cautious. That's me respecting the rules of

287
00:16:27.350 --> 00:16:29.549
a court that takes a fair trial very seriously.

288
00:16:30.230 --> 00:16:32.990
Have a good weekend. I'm Garrett Fisher. Do better.

289
00:16:34.970 --> 00:16:37.629
This episode of Daily Crime and Justice is produced with

290
00:16:37.649 --> 00:16:40.950
the assistance of artificial intelligence and is intended for news

291
00:16:41.009 --> 00:16:42.620
and commentary purposes only.

292
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:44.440
It is not legal advice.

293
00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:48.179
Everyone charged with a crime is presumed innocent unless and

294
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.740
until proven guilty in a court of law. Matthew Conan,

295
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.509
David Privat, and Russell Brand have each pleaded not guilty.

296
00:16:56.309 --> 00:16:59.350
Tyreek Hill faces no criminal charges in connection with Lakita

297
00:16:59.370 --> 00:17:02.509
Vaccaro's allegations, which are claims in a civil lawsuit that

298
00:17:02.529 --> 00:17:06.890
he denies. On Krista Pike, information about her condition comes

299
00:17:06.910 --> 00:17:09.519
from her attorneys and in the case of Stephen Farrell's

300
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.809
BBC interview, from what he was told. since he said

301
00:17:12.829 --> 00:17:15.680
he had not spoken to her directly. Her condition may

302
00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:18.640
have changed. The quoted words of the state's attorney and

303
00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:21.140
the judge are as reported by news outlets present at

304
00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:25.400
the hearing. On Tyreek Hill, testimony described here comes from

305
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:30.940
reporting by Court TV, ESPN, and The Athletic, among others.

306
00:17:31.769 --> 00:17:32.910
The bedroom camera.

307
00:17:32.650 --> 00:17:35.410
Video was not released to the public, and descriptions of

308
00:17:35.450 --> 00:17:39.829
its audio come from reporters present. Outlets differ on the

309
00:17:39.869 --> 00:17:43.599
date of the incident the video shows. Hill's 2014 case

310
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:45.279
is described from public reporting.

311
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:47.920
Whether the jury hears about it is up to the court.

312
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:54.069
On Matthew Conan, this episode reflects proceedings through Wednesday, October 7th.

313
00:17:55.029 --> 00:17:57.049
A verdict may have been reached by the time you

314
00:17:57.069 --> 00:18:00.849
hear this. Claims about David Rogers' behavior and mental state

315
00:18:00.990 --> 00:18:03.670
are part of the defense's case and have not been

316
00:18:03.710 --> 00:18:08.160
established as fact. The maximum sentence is as reported by

317
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:13.039
Court TV. On David Privata, descriptions of the forensic interviews

318
00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:18.059
come from WECT's reporting. The interviews themselves were shown in court.

319
00:18:18.859 --> 00:18:22.700
Paitin's sister is a minor and is not named. This

320
00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:26.609
segment includes testimony that was not part of Thursday's episode.

321
00:18:27.150 --> 00:18:30.109
On Russell Brand, charges and trial details are as reported

322
00:18:30.150 --> 00:18:35.390
by ITV, Deadline, and other outlets. Under UK law, complainants

323
00:18:35.430 --> 00:18:39.910
in sexual offense cases are entitled to lifelong anonymity. If

324
00:18:39.950 --> 00:18:43.099
