00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.960
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm reed Carter. Monday, November third,

2
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:18.480
twenty twenty five. Three stories Today. Diddy photographed in prison

3
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.920
for the first time, Juliofulio's murder trial ends with guilty verdict,

4
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.519
and the Wisconsin bad boyfriend on trial for allegedly killing

5
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.160
his girlfriend and hiding her body in the woods while

6
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:38.119
sexting women overseas. Let's get to it. This is Celebrity Trials. Friday,

7
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.759
Sean Diddy Combs was photographed for the first time since

8
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.240
his arrest last September. TMZ obtained images of the fifty

9
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.960
five year old walking through the yard at Fort Dick's

10
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.920
Federal Correctional Institute in New Jersey recreation time, bundled up

11
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.560
in a beanie and sweatshirt, his once well maintained beard

12
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.159
now gray and untamed, looking every bit like a man

13
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.480
serving a four year sentence for prostitution related offenses. Combs

14
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.920
was recently transferred from the troubled Metropolitan Detention Center in

15
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:13.120
Brooklyn to Fort Dix. Not clear exactly when the transfer happened,

16
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.640
but he's already working. Got himself a job in the

17
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:20.879
prison's laundry department. Your tax dollars at work. Fort Dix

18
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.359
is a low security mail prison on the grounds of

19
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.239
the Joint Military Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst, one of several

20
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.840
dozen federal prisons with a residential drug treatment program. Earlier

21
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.879
this month, Combs's lawyers asked the judge to strongly recommend

22
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.840
transferring him there so he could participate in the facility's

23
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.599
drug treatment program. They argued Fort Dix would best allow

24
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.000
Combs to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family

25
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:51.120
visitation and rehabilitative efforts. Judge granted the request, so now

26
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.000
Combs is folding sheets in Jersey instead of sitting in

27
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:58.680
Brooklyn's notorious MDC. He's already served about fourteen months of

28
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.879
his fifty month sentence set to be released May eighth,

29
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.640
twenty twenty eight, but he can earn reductions through participation

30
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.159
in substance abuse treatment and other prison programs could get

31
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.240
out earlier if he plays the game right. This week,

32
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.759
Combs's lawyers filed with a federal appeals court asking them

33
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.759
to quickly consider the legality of his conviction and sentence.

34
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.719
They want the appeal considered soon enough that he can

35
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.560
benefit from a reduction in prison time if the appeals

36
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.120
court reverses his conviction. Smart strategy file, fast argue later.

37
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.919
Here's where it gets interesting. President Donald Trump said Combs

38
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.439
asked him for a pardon. Trump didn't say whether he'd

39
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:41.439
grant it, but he has previously called Combs essentially sort

40
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.439
of half innocent since he was acquitted on sex trafficking charges.

41
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.639
Trump's logic is that Combs beat the major allegations, so

42
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:54.039
the two prostitution convictions somehow don't count. That's not how

43
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.360
criminal law works. But Trump does what Trump wants. For now,

44
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:03.039
Combs remains at fort day working laundry, waiting for his appeal,

45
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.439
hoping for presidential mercy, and trying to stay out of

46
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.560
trouble in a place where celebrity status doesn't protect you.

47
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:18.400
Quick update. Moving on Friday night in Tampa, Florida, after

48
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.919
nearly four hours of deliberation, a jury found twenty one

49
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.120
year old Alicia Andrews guilty of manslaughter in the murder

50
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.039
of Jacksonville rapper Julio Folio. Not first degree murder, not

51
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.120
guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, just manslaughter. Let me

52
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.439
back up. June twenty third, twenty twenty four, Tampa Holiday

53
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.639
Inn Parking lot near the University of South Florida. Twenty

54
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.639
six year old Charles Jones, known as rapper Juliofolio, was

55
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.120
celebrating his birthday. He'd started the night at an Airbnb,

56
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.479
but was kicked out for exceeding occupancy limits. Moved to

57
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.840
the Holiday Inn. Around four forty am, someone ambushed him

58
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:01.439
in the parking lot. Multiple gunshots at the scene. This

59
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.560
wasn't random. This was part of a year's long gang

60
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.080
war in Jacksonville between rival factions. Fulio was a documented

61
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.159
member of the Gang six Block. His alleged killers were

62
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.439
members of two allied rival gangs, Ace's top killers, known

63
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:21.240
as a t K and twelve hundred five people were charged.

64
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:28.120
Isaiah Chance twenty seven, documented ATK member, Sean Gathwright, Davian

65
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:34.240
Murphy twelve hundred associate, Rashad Murphy twelve hundred member, and

66
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.720
Alicia Andrews twenty one. Chance's girlfriend not a gang member,

67
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.839
just a girl dating the wrong guy. Prosecutors argued Andrew's

68
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.319
helped track in surveil Fulio as he moved between Tampa

69
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.360
night clubs the night he was killed, that she was

70
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.360
the lookout. That phone records showed she traveled from Jacksonville

71
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.079
to Tampa with the four men, that she helped them

72
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.240
avoid detection by using her cell phone and car since

73
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.839
she wasn't part of it the gang. The evidence was

74
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.759
circumstantial but damning. Surveillance video showed Andrews wearing a face

75
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.720
mask in a parking lot. Prosecutors said it was to

76
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.040
conceal her identity. Defense said she was pregnant at the

77
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.680
time and avoiding cigarette smoke. Phone records showed her boyfriend

78
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.360
Isaiah Chance, was making calls from her phone to co

79
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.439
defendant Sean Gathwright. Andrews claimed she never knew who he

80
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.920
was calling or why. Prosecutors showed the jury a twenty

81
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.680
twenty one text message where Andrews wrote that Folio needed

82
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.040
to die. She was seventeen at the time. On the

83
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.920
witness stand last week, she tried to walk it back. Yeah,

84
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.199
but I didn't mean it. I was seventeen and just gossiping.

85
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:49.279
The defense strategy was textbook blame the abusive boyfriend. Defense

86
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.920
attorneys Life Malcolm and Jeremy McClement argued Andrews was manipulated

87
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:58.160
by Chance, who was controlling and abusive. Showed the jury

88
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.600
images of bruises on her face, showed text messages of

89
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.000
him getting upset when she posted photos of herself on Instagram.

90
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.279
Claimed she was afraid to disagree with him because it

91
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.720
could lead to him hitting her or breaking her phone.

92
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.040
On the stand Thursday, Andrew's testified she had no idea

93
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.199
they were going to Tampa, no knowledge of a murder plot.

94
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.199
Said Chance told her they were going out of town

95
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.079
and she asked to come along. Claimed she didn't know

96
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.240
they were tracking Folio at multiple nightclubs. Never saw any weapons.

97
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:30.439
I mean I heard a lot of shots, so I

98
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.120
didn't know what went on. Shooting in the air, somebody

99
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:37.839
got shot at I didn't know. Andrew's testified. Prosecutors attacked

100
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.160
her credibility, pointed out she admitted to lying to police,

101
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.279
admitted to deleting text conversations with Chance after Jones was shot,

102
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.240
made three way calls through Chance's mother to speak with

103
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:52.240
him from jail, sent him intimate messages not exactly the

104
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.560
behavior of a terrified abuse victim trying to distance herself

105
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.480
from her alleged abuse. Her assistant state attorney, Michelle Doherty

106
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.879
told the jury this was straightforward. Andrew's helped track the

107
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.560
rapper she was part of the surveillance team. Hotel records

108
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.959
and phone data proved she was there. Her boyfriend and

109
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.040
three others carried out the shooting. She was complicit. There's

110
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.240
no mystery man here, There's no phantom rapist who slipped

111
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:21.480
off into the night. Doherty said, Wait, wrong trial, wrong quote,

112
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:26.199
but you get the point. Prosecutors argued Andrew's was guilty period.

113
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.879
The defense countered that the state was trying to put

114
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.279
her in a box, that she was just a girlfriend

115
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.680
in love with the wrong person, that there was no

116
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:37.800
direct evidence tying her to any murder plot Friday night.

117
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:42.399
The jury returned guilty of manslaughter, the lesser charge, not

118
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:47.279
the premeditated first degree murder prosecutors wanted, and not guilty

119
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.480
of conspiracy to commit murder. Sentencing scheduled for December eighth,

120
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.759
at eight thirty a m. Andrew's faces up to life

121
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.040
in prison without parole for manslaughter. She'll be held without

122
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.000
bond until sentencing. Andrew RWs was the first of the

123
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.959
five defendants to go to trial. She's also the only

124
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:08.240
one not facing the death penalty. Isaiah Chance, Shaan Gathwright,

125
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.439
Davian Murphy, and Rashad Murphy will stand trial next year.

126
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:17.519
All four face potential death sentences. Julio Fulio real name

127
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.399
Charles Jones was twenty six years old, Jacksonville drill rapper,

128
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.480
part of the six Block gang, involved in a violent

129
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.959
rivalry that cost him his life. Should be twenty seven Today,

130
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.159
should be recording music, should be celebrating birthdays without worrying

131
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.840
about getting ambushed in hotel parking lots. The jury decided

132
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.600
Alicia Andrews wasn't a cold blooded murderer, but she wasn't

133
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:44.919
innocent either. She knew something, did something was complicit enough

134
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:49.080
to earn a manslaughter conviction. December eighth, the judge will

135
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.399
decide how many years that costs her. Make it make sense,

136
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.679
We'll be right back with the Wisconsin bad Boyfriend trial.

137
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.440
Matthew Paul allegedly killed him girlfriend and hit her body

138
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.399
in the woods while sexting women in the Philippines and

139
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:19.399
searching for her obituary online. Welcome back to celebrity trials.

140
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:25.960
I'm reed Carter, Waukeshaw, Wisconsin, Waukeshaw County Circuit Court. Matthew Paul,

141
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.639
fifty seven years old, is on trial for first degree

142
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:34.879
intentional homicide and hiding a corpse. His longtime girlfriend, Stephanie

143
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:39.120
Pavlon's forty four, was found dead and decomposing in a

144
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.279
wooded area in September twenty twenty two. The question did

145
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.039
Paul kill her and dump her body or did something

146
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:49.919
else happen? Let's start with what we know. August twenty third,

147
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.120
twenty twenty two. Paul and Pavlons lived together in Waukeshaw

148
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.840
on and off relationship for twenty years turbulent. Her mother,

149
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:03.039
Georgian Pavlon, testified last week that she suspected her daughter

150
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:06.480
was a victim of domestic abuse, that every time Paul

151
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.159
left the apartment, Stephanie left, two that Stephanie had no

152
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:14.279
key to their shared apartment. That morning, surveillance cameras at

153
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.399
their apartment building recorded both Paul and Pavlons leaving. Paul

154
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.600
had a morning appointment at Orthopedic Associates of Wisconsin for

155
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.360
a foot injury. He'd been dealing with it for months.

156
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:29.399
Broken foot needed treatment. According to prosecutors, Paul took Pavlons

157
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.320
to his appointment and left her in his truck, went

158
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:36.120
inside for physical therapy, came back out, and during two

159
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.399
gaps in the timeline, a sixteen minute gap before the

160
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.200
appointment and a twenty minute gap after. Prosecutors say they

161
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.559
have no idea where Paul was or what he was

162
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.519
doing after that appointment. Stephanie Pavlin's was never seen again.

163
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:54.679
Surveillance video shows Paul returning to their apartment that afternoon alone,

164
00:10:55.240 --> 00:11:00.600
carrying her purse, her water bottle, her belongings, but no Stephanie.

165
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:04.399
Paul never reported her missing, didn't call her parents, didn't

166
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.799
call police, didn't even call their own daughter. Just went

167
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:12.200
about his life as if nothing happened. September ninth, twenty

168
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:17.559
twenty two, seventeen days after Stephanie disappeared, construction worker Joseph

169
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:21.120
Farcano was installing no trespassing signs on a property near

170
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:25.519
the Orthopedic Associates clinic on Gulf Road in Delafield. Smelled

171
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:29.639
something foul. Followed the smell found a dead body in

172
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.720
a wooded area, approximately five to ten feet from the

173
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.320
tree line. The nine to one to one call played

174
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.080
in court last week captured the horror. Yep, Yeah, we

175
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.159
were putting up signs for Pro health Care on their

176
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.759
lot and we smelled something and saw there's a dead

177
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:47.240
guy back here. For a long time, so police responded.

178
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:52.440
Confirmed it was human remains, badly decomposed, no cell phone,

179
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:57.000
no purse, no identification. The body was later identified as

180
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:01.159
Stephanie Pavlon's autopsy determined she'd be dead anywhere from a

181
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.960
week to a month. Cause and manner of death undetermined,

182
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.720
no clear evidence of trauma on what was left of

183
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:13.120
her remains. Investigators immediately focused on Matthew Pale, the boyfriend

184
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.679
who never reported her missing, the last person seen with her,

185
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.000
the man who came home with her belongings but not her.

186
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.559
They searched his Toyota Tacoma truck, conducted presumptive blood tests

187
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:30.480
on three areas inside, all negative. Used luminol in the

188
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:35.200
truck bed some illumination, but all swabs tested negative for

189
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:40.799
human blood. No definitive forensic evidence. But then they looked

190
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:44.159
at his phone. Matthew Paul had been communicating with two

191
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:49.440
Skype accounts, Magen and Beautiful Disaster. Both were women in

192
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:54.919
the Philippines. The conversations were sexual in nature explicit. In

193
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.720
messages with both accounts, Paul said he wanted to move

194
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.159
to the Philippines, that he was planning to relocate, that

195
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.919
Stephanie was just a coworker or an employee, not his

196
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.159
girlfriend of twenty years, not the mother of his child,

197
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.720
just a co worker. Prosecutors revealed Paul had been involved

198
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:16.320
in online relationships with these two Filipino women, talking to

199
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.639
them daily, planning to move there in summer twenty twenty two,

200
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.159
but his foot injury derailed those plans. Suddenly, he was

201
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.919
stuck in Wisconsin, struggling with mobility, relying on Stephanie more

202
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.960
and more to help him with daily care. She was

203
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.159
more involved in his life than ever before, and he

204
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:38.840
resented it. Here's the part that sinks him. Paul started

205
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.919
searching for Stephanie's obituary online fifteen days before her body

206
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.600
was found. Think about that. He's searching for her obituary

207
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.480
two weeks before construction workers discover her remains in the woods.

208
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:52.879
How did he know she was dead if he didn't

209
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.200
kill her. And when detectives brought him in for questioning,

210
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.679
before they even told him why he was there, Paul said,

211
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.120
do you think I cut up a body in there

212
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:07.039
or something? Nobody mentioned cutting up a body, Nobody mentioned dismemberment.

213
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.919
Paul just volunteered that information like he'd been thinking about it.

214
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:16.279
Rehearsing his denials, smart enough to plan murder, too stupid

215
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:19.960
to keep his mouth shut. The trial started October twenty

216
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.879
seventh with opening statements. Former Waukeshaw County District Attorney Sue Opper,

217
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.600
prosecuting the case, told the jury, I'm going to ask

218
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.279
you to be patient, right, this is a pretty complex case.

219
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.200
She showed them two photos, one of Stephanie smiling in life,

220
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.080
one of her remains as they were found in the woods.

221
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.720
This is a person you will not hear from directly

222
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.720
in this case. This is what the case centers on.

223
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:52.519
Opper outlined the prosecution's theory. Paul killed Stephanie on August

224
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.440
twenty third, during one of those gaps in the timeline

225
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:59.519
around his orthopedic appointment, dumped her body in the woods nearby,

226
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:04.679
kept her belongings, continued, his online sexual relationships, planned his

227
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:08.320
move to the Philippines, searched for her obituary before anyone

228
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:12.279
even knew she was dead. Defense attorney Peter Wolfe countered

229
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.639
with questions, how did Paul move Stephanie's body with a

230
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.720
broken foot. The wooded area where she was found is

231
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.840
bounded by a heavily traveled frontage Road, Interstate Busy, Health Center,

232
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:27.159
golf course, and homes. Ask if matt carried Stephanie into

233
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:31.200
that wooded area, when would he have done that. Wolfe argued,

234
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.000
the cause and manner of death are undetermined. No evidence

235
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.080
Paul intentionally killed her. Could have been suicide, could have

236
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:44.159
been medical issues, could have been anything. Forensic anthropologist Jana

237
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.279
Marie Trusidal testified there was no evidence of trauma on

238
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:51.840
the remains, body too decomposed to determine cause of death conclusively.

239
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:57.279
The defense acknowledged Paul's online relationships, said Stephanie was aware

240
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.799
of them, even communicated with at least one of the women,

241
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.960
that both Paul and Stephanie had medical issues and were

242
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.879
taking prescription medication, that Stephanie had a history of mental

243
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:13.480
health issues. When you see certain evidence and hear certain testimony,

244
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:16.480
you may not like Matthew Paul, but you don't have

245
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:20.639
to like him. This isn't a popularity contest, Wolfe told

246
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:23.759
the jury He's right about one thing. This isn't a

247
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.200
popularity contest, but it is a murder trial, and the

248
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:31.240
evidence keeps piling up. Surveillance video shows Paul leaving with

249
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.360
Stephanie returning alone with her belongings. Phone records show him

250
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:39.960
sexting Filipino women, calling Stephanie just a coworker, making plans

251
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.480
to move overseas. Search history shows him looking for her

252
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:47.159
obituary before her body was found. His own words during

253
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:51.480
police interview suggest consciousness of guilt. And here's what really

254
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.840
damns him. Paul never reported Stephanie missing. If your girlfriend

255
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:02.159
of twenty years disappears, you call someone, her parents, lease friends, anyone,

256
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.759
unless you already know she's not coming back, unless you

257
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.160
know exactly where she is because you put her there.

258
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.119
Last week, Stephanie's mother, Georgie Anne, testified about her daughter's

259
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.799
relationship with Paul, the turbulence, the suspected abuse, the way

260
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.279
Stephanie couldn't leave the apartment without him, the way she

261
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.000
had no key, the way their relationship trapped her. The

262
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.839
jury visited the crime scene Monday. Walked through the wooded

263
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:33.279
area where construction workers found Stephanie's body, Saw how close

264
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.240
it was to the orthopedic clinic where Paul had his appointment,

265
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.240
Saw how accessible it was from the road, how someone

266
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.279
with limited mobility could potentially drag a body there if

267
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:48.200
motivated enough. The trial continues this week. Dozens of witnesses

268
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.759
expected to testify, including Paul and Pavlon's daughter. Scheduled to

269
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.880
last two weeks. Total, closing arguments could come as soon

270
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.160
as next week. Matthew Paul faces life in prison if

271
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.000
convicted of first degree intentional homicide. The hiding a corpse

272
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.880
charge adds additional time. He's pleaded not guilty to both charges.

273
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.200
Claims he didn't kill Stephanie, doesn't know what happened to her,

274
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:12.920
just came home one day and she was gone. But

275
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.839
the digital trail tells a different story. The online relationships,

276
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.920
the searches, the statements to police, the failure to report

277
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.720
her missing, the lies about who she was, all pointing

278
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:27.519
to a man who wanted a different life, who saw

279
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:31.319
his girlfriend as an obstacle, who chose murder over honesty.

280
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:38.640
Stephanie Pavlon's was forty four years old, longtime resident of Waukeshaw, mother, daughter,

281
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.559
trapped in a relationship with a man who was planning

282
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.359
to leave her for women in the Philippines. Found dead

283
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.720
in the woods seventeen days after she vanished. Should be

284
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.480
forty seven today. Should have had the chance to leave

285
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:53.160
Paul on her own terms should have had a life.

286
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.680
The jury's job decide if Matthew Paul killed her, If

287
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:00.440
his broken foot and his searches and his line add

288
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:04.359
up to murder. If the man sexting strangers online while

289
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.799
his girlfriend decomposed in the woods is guilty of taking

290
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.680
her life. My prediction guilty. The digital evidence is too strong,

291
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:16.519
the timeline is too suspicious, the consciousness of guilt too obvious.

292
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:19.119
But we'll see what twelve jurors think when they get

293
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.880
the case. Someone has to say her name, Stephanie Pavlon's

294
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:30.279
remember her. That's celebrity trials from Monday, November third, twenty

295
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.640
twenty five. Did he photographed in prison for the first

296
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:38.799
time working laundry at Fort Dix? Appeal filed, Trump considering

297
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:44.000
pardon request. Alicia Andrews found guilty of manslaughter in Juliofulio's murder,

298
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:48.920
lesser charged than prosecutors wanted. Sentencing December eighth, And Matthew

299
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.359
Paul on trial in Wisconsin. Prosecutors say he killed his

300
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.799
girlfriend and hid her body while planning to move to

301
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:59.359
the Philippines. Defense says cause of death undetermined. Trial continues

302
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.799
this week. I'm read Carter see you tomorrow. This is

303
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:02.759
celebrity Trials
