1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.720
Caalarogus Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Wednesday, September

2
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.920
twenty fourth, twenty twenty five. Today on Celebrity Trials, Sean

3
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.399
Ditty Combs wants out of federal custody because apparently jail

4
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:26.480
is too uncomfortable for billionaires accused of sex trafficking and racketeering.

5
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.280
A man who shot up a New Hampshire country club

6
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:33.119
makes his first court appearance because nothing says class warfare

7
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.960
like opening fire at the ninth Hole. Jeffrey Spence's trial

8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.679
begins for plotting to murder his father. The inheritance couldn't

9
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.679
wait for natural causes, apparently, and a mother faces sentencing

10
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.799
for starving her baby and leaving him to die in

11
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.359
a ditch. Some stories are too horrible for clever commentary. Plus,

12
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.719
I'll tell you about our eight day O. J. Simpson

13
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.039
Special starting this Friday. Thirty years later, we're still asking

14
00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.840
how he got away with it. This is Celebrity Trials.

15
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.799
Shawn Combe's Puff Daddy p Diddy, Didty Brother Love or

16
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.120
whatever he's calling himself this week, wants out of federal custody.

17
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.000
The man facing federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, thinks

18
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.840
he deserves to await trial from his mansion instead of

19
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.519
a cell. His lawyers filed a motion yesterday arguing that

20
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.519
Combs should be released on bail because and I quote,

21
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.920
the conditions at Metropolitan Detention Center are not suitable for

22
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.760
a person of mister Combe's stature stature. He's accused of

23
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.040
running a criminal enterprise that trafficked women, distributed drugs, and

24
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.079
used violence and intimidation to cover it up. His stature

25
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.560
is alleged sex trafficker. That's exactly who MDC Brooklyn was

26
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.519
built for. The motion claims Comb's is suffering irreparable harm

27
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.920
to his reputation and business interests by being detained. Irreparable

28
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.680
harm to his reputation. The indictment alleges he forced women

29
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.120
into freak offs, the elaborate sex performances that lasted days,

30
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:07.280
required IV drips for recovery, and were recorded for blackmail.

31
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.960
What reputation is there left to harm? His legal team,

32
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.400
led by Mark Agnafilo, is proposing a fifty million dollar

33
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.520
bail package. Fifty million that's more money than most people

34
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.599
see in a thousand lifetimes. They're offering his Miami mansion,

35
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.520
his private jet, and his mother's house as collateral. His

36
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.680
mother's house. This fifty four year old billionaire is putting

37
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.879
up his mom's house to get out of jail. Janis Combs,

38
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.800
eighty four years old, might lose her home if her

39
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.919
son decides to flee. That's not love, that's leverage. The

40
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:46.280
conditions they're proposing are laughable. House arrest at his Star

41
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.400
Island mansion in Miami, electronic monitoring, surrender of his passport,

42
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:56.240
private security to ensure compliance. Private security he pays for

43
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.159
to make sure he follows rules. That's like asking a

44
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.960
wolf to guard himself and promising he'll only eat vegetables.

45
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:10.800
The prosecution's response was beautiful. Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson wrote,

46
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:16.879
the defendant has unlimited resources, multiple properties in non extradition countries,

47
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.879
and a demonstrated pattern of witness intimidation. He is the

48
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.639
definition of a flight risk. She's not wrong. Combs owns

49
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.680
property in the Caribbean, has connections worldwide, has the money

50
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.319
to disappear forever, and, according to the indictment, has a

51
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.520
history of threatening and bribing witnesses. The indictment alleges Combs

52
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.879
ran a criminal enterprise from two thousand and eight to

53
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:47.039
now seventeen years of alleged sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery,

54
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.400
and obstruction. But he thinks he deserves to wait for

55
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.439
trial in his mansion with an ocean view. The motion

56
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.000
also argues Comb's needs to be free to prepare his defense,

57
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.599
that jail restricts his access to lawyers and evidence. Every

58
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.240
defendant in America faces these restrictions. But did he thinks

59
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.560
he's special, thinks his money makes him different, thinks the

60
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.639
rules don't apply to Bad Boy Entertainment's CEO. Here's what

61
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.519
the indictment actually says. Combs did. Forced women into sexual

62
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.800
performances with male sex workers, recorded it, use the recordings

63
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.360
as blackmail, distributed drugs to keep victims compliant, used violence

64
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.240
when they resisted, bribed witnesses, intimidated victims. Ran it like

65
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.560
a business with employees who knew and participated. That's not

66
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.160
music industry excess. That's organized crime with a soundtrack. The

67
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.720
judge will rule on bail tomorrow. But here's what won't change.

68
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.120
Combs is charged with crimes that carry a life sentence.

69
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:48.360
The evidence includes videos, financial records, and multiple cooperating witnesses.

70
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.040
His empire is crumbling, his legacy is destroyed. His freedom

71
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.079
might be gone forever. Sean Combs made millions selling the

72
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.360
image of luxury and excess, private jets, mansions, parties that

73
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:07.120
lasted for days. Now he's in MDC, Brooklyn, eating prison food,

74
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.720
wearing prison clothes, living the prison life he rapped about

75
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.680
but never experienced. He wants out because jail is hard,

76
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.319
because it's uncomfortable, because it's not suitable for his stature.

77
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.920
You know what else isn't suitable. Allegedly trafficking women, allegedly

78
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.720
drugging victims, allegedly running a criminal enterprise disguised as entertainment.

79
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.759
Did he thought he was untouchable, thought his money protected him,

80
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.839
thought his fame made him immune. He's learning what every

81
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.279
criminal eventually learns. Federal prosecutors don't care about your Grammys.

82
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:51.639
They care about your crimes. Robert Walsh, forty seven, made

83
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.800
his first court appearance yesterday for shooting up the Brookstone

84
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.879
country Club in Drry, New Hampshire. Because nothing says I

85
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.319
hate rich people like attempted murder at a golf course

86
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:07.240
September nineteenth, Friday afternoon. The country club was hosting its

87
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:12.600
annual member, guest, tournament, lawyers, doctors, business owners, all enjoying

88
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.399
their privilege on a perfect September day. Then Walsh showed

89
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.079
up with an aar fifteen and a grudge. He opened

90
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.319
fire from the parking lot. Sixty three rounds and under

91
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.040
two minutes. Miraculously, only three people were injured, none fatally,

92
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.759
not for lack of trying. Walsh just couldn't shoot straight,

93
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.600
probably because he was drunk. His blood alcohol was point

94
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.439
one to eight when arrested, more than twice the legal limit.

95
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.360
He drove drunk to commit mass murder and failed because

96
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.279
he was too drunk to aim. That's not evil, that's

97
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.399
pathetic evil. Walsh's motive. He'd been fired from the country

98
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.759
club three years ago, three years He held a grudge

99
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.920
for three years about losing a job as assistant groundskeeper.

100
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.759
Decided the appropriate response was mass murder. At yesterday's arraignment,

101
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.560
Walsh appeared via video link from Valley Street Jail. His

102
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:08.879
public defender, Sandra Martinez, asked for a competency evaluation, claims

103
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.040
Walsh has mental health issues and alcohol dependency. Mental health

104
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.000
and alcohol don't make you plan mass murder. They might

105
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.600
lower inhibitions, but they don't create homicidal rage from nothing.

106
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.800
That comes from entitlement, from believing the world owes you something,

107
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.399
from thinking violence solves problems. Judge Catherine Brown denied bail,

108
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.319
calling Walsh an extreme danger to the community that's under

109
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.920
selling it. He shot up a country club because they

110
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:39.240
fired him three years ago. What happens when McDonald's gets

111
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:44.439
his order wrong. The victims are recovering. Doctor James Patterson

112
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.759
sixty seven took shrapnel to his leg. Attorney Margaret Chen

113
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.319
fifty four was grazed by a bullet. Businessman Todd Williams,

114
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.639
forty five, has bullet fragments in his shoulder. They were

115
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.839
playing golf, now their gunshot victims. The country club is

116
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:04.560
closed indefinitely. Members are traumatized. The annual tournament that's been

117
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:08.240
held for forty seven years is canceled because Robert Walsh

118
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.199
couldn't get over being fired from a minimum wage job.

119
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:16.839
Walsh faces three counts of attempted murder, reckless conduct with

120
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:21.519
a deadly weapon, and criminal threatening If convicted on all counts,

121
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.079
he's looking at forty five to life for a job

122
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.360
he lost three years ago for a grudge he couldn't

123
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.519
let go for victims who didn't even know his name.

124
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.600
The prosecutor, Michael Stevens, said it best. The defendant turned

125
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.879
a golf course into a war zone because he couldn't

126
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:42.559
accept consequences for his actions three years ago. He's been

127
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:47.960
planning this, waiting, choosing his moment. Robert Walsh, forty seven

128
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.679
years old, threw away his entire life because a country

129
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.159
club didn't want him trimming their grass. Now he'll spend

130
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.080
the rest of his life in a place where there's

131
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:03.039
no grass at all, just concrete and regret. We'll be

132
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.000
right back with a son plotting patricide and a mother

133
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:25.679
who starved her baby to death. Jeffrey Spence's trial started

134
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:29.480
yesterday in Jackson, Mississippi. He's accused of plotting to murder

135
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:33.240
his father, Richard Spence, because waiting for inheritance is apparently

136
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:38.120
too difficult. The prosecution laid out their case. Jeffrey, thirty eight,

137
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.440
unemployed living off his father's money, decided he wanted it

138
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:46.240
all now, not when Richard died naturally, not when the

139
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.080
will was read. Now. The plot was simple and stupid.

140
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.639
Jeffrey tried to hire a hitman through a friend of

141
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.480
a friend, offered fifty thousand dollars for the murder. The

142
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.919
hit man was an undercover FBI agent, because of course

143
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:04.039
he was. It's always an undercover FBI agent. The recorded

144
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.879
conversations are devastating, Jeffrey explaining how his father takes walks

145
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:13.320
every morning at six am, describing the route, suggesting making

146
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.440
it look like a mugging, negotiating the price like he's

147
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.879
buying a used car, not murdering his father. In one recording,

148
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:25.480
Jeffrey says, make it quick. He's old, he doesn't deserve

149
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:30.360
to suffer, just needs to be gone. Doesn't deserve to suffer,

150
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.919
but deserves to die so Jeffrey can inherit early. The

151
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:41.080
moral gymnastics of a son justifying patricide. Richard Spence seventy one,

152
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.320
made his money in commercial real estate, built a fortune

153
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:49.000
from nothing, gave his son everything, private schools, college, paid

154
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.919
for trust fund jobs at his companies that Jeffrey kept losing.

155
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:58.759
And Jeffrey's gratitude murder for hire. The FBI agent testified

156
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:04.039
yesterday described how Jeffrey wanted updates, wanted confirmation, wanted to

157
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.600
know when it would happen so he could establish an alibi.

158
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.720
He was going to be at a casino on camera

159
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.240
when his father was murdered. Jeffrey even discussed the funeral,

160
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.159
told the hit man he'd need to act grieving but

161
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:19.440
not too grieving, said he'd practiced his shocked face in

162
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:25.720
the mirror, practiced his shocked face. The defense attorney, Robert Clark,

163
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:29.080
is claiming entrapment, that Jeffrey never would have gone through

164
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:33.000
with it, that he was just talking, just venting frustration

165
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.679
about his controlling father. Venting frustration doesn't include providing walking

166
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:42.159
roots and negotiating prices. That's not venting, that's planning murder.

167
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.879
Richard Spence was in court yesterday watching his son stand

168
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.360
trial for plotting his death. He looked broken, not angry,

169
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.480
just broken, like he's trying to understand how the baby

170
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.279
he raised became the man who wanted him dead. In

171
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.720
victim impact pre trial statements, Richard said, I gave him

172
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:04.080
every thing everything I failed as a father, not in

173
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.320
what I provided, but in what I created A son

174
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.600
who sees me as an ATM. That's taking too long

175
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.960
to dispense. Jeffrey faces life in prison if convicted. His

176
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:20.360
inheritance gone. Mississippi has son of Sam laws. You can't

177
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.399
profit from trying to kill someone, even if you're inheriting anyway.

178
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.840
Jeffrey Spence wanted his father's money so badly he was

179
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.159
willing to kill for it. Now he'll have nothing, no money,

180
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.799
no father, no freedom, just decades to think about how

181
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:42.919
greed destroyed everything his father built, including his son. Content warning.

182
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.600
This next case involves infant death. It's horrific. There's no

183
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:53.559
other way to describe it. Melissa Chen, twenty six, faces

184
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.639
sentencing today in Phoenix for starving her four month old

185
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:59.679
son and leaving him to die in a ditch. I've

186
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.240
covered a lot of horrible cases. This might be the worst.

187
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.279
Baby Marcus was found July fifteenth by a jogger in

188
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.679
a ditch in one hundred and fifteen degree heat. He

189
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.720
weighed eight pounds, a four month old who weighed what

190
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.200
a newborn should weigh. He'd been starved systematically for weeks,

191
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:23.039
then abandoned to die alone. The medical examiner said Marcus

192
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.600
was alive when left in the ditch, died of dehydration

193
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.159
and exposure. It took hours hours of a baby dying

194
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.600
alone in the Arizona heat because his mother decided he

195
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:39.039
was too much trouble. Chen's story kept changing. First she

196
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.320
said Marcus was kidnapped, Then he died of sids and

197
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.879
she panicked, Then she couldn't afford formula. Finally the truth.

198
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.679
She didn't want him anymore, didn't want him, so instead

199
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:59.000
of adoption, safe haven laws, giving him to literally anyone else,

200
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:04.480
starved him, fed him water instead of formula, watched him

201
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.960
waste away, then drove him to a ditch and left

202
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:13.559
him to die. Her lawyer argues she was overwhelmed postpartum depression, poverty,

203
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.679
no support system. That's not an excuse, that's not a defense.

204
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.320
That's an explanation for why she's a monster, not whether

205
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.080
she is one. The prosecutor, Lisa Rodriguez, showed photos of

206
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.279
Marcus when he was born, healthy, seven pounds six ounces,

207
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.639
then photos from the autopsy. I won't describe them, the

208
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.039
jury cried. The judge had to call a recess. Chen's

209
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.279
mother testified, said she offered to take Marcus, begged Melissa

210
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:42.559
to let her help, but Melissa refused, said she could

211
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.720
handle it, handle it. She handled it by murdering a

212
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:49.720
baby through starvation. The grandmother brought Marcus's blanket to court,

213
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.200
the one he was wrapped in when found, tiny yellow

214
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.440
with ducks on it. She held it while testifying, saying,

215
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.879
this is all I have left of him, this blanket

216
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.399
and the knowledge my daughter killed him. Chen pleaded guilty

217
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:08.320
to avoid the death penalty. She's facing twenty five to life.

218
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.720
The judge will decide today. But what sentence fits this crime?

219
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:17.840
What prison term equals starving a baby? What justice exists

220
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:23.159
for Marcus? The prosecutor's closing statement. Marcus Chen lived four months,

221
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.919
most of it hungry, most of it crying, most of

222
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.759
it ignored. He died alone in a ditch in the

223
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.279
desert because his mother decided he was inconvenient. There is

224
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.600
no punishment sufficient for this crime. She's right, there isn't.

225
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:41.320
Melissa Chen will get her sentence today, twenty five to life.

226
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.279
Probably she'll eat three meals a day in prison, more

227
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.879
than she gave her son. She'll have shelter, water, medical care,

228
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.240
everything she denied Marcus. Baby. Marcus died at four months old,

229
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.120
eight pounds, in a ditch in Phoenix in twenty twenty five,

230
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.919
in America, where safe haven laws exist, where adopt is available,

231
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.600
where help is possible, But his mother chose murder instead

232
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:11.759
before we go. Let me tell you about something special

233
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:16.159
we're doing. Starting this Friday, Eight Days of O. J. Simpson,

234
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.600
eight episodes covering each month of the trial that defined

235
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.960
modern America, thirty years after the murders of Nicole Brown,

236
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:27.200
Simpson and Ronald Goldman were going back to nineteen ninety four. Friday,

237
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.600
we start with June and July nineteen ninety four. The murders,

238
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.720
the Bronco chase, the suicide note, when OJ Simpson went

239
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:39.360
from beloved athlete to accused double murderer. Each day we'll

240
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:43.120
cover another month of the trial, the evidence, the lawyers,

241
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:47.320
the mistakes, the media circus, all building to October third,

242
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.639
nineteen ninety five, the verdict that divided America. We have

243
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:56.200
insights that didn't exist then. DNA evidence that was revolutionary,

244
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:01.320
but misunderstood, race relations context that was ignored. Medium manipulation

245
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:05.519
that became the template for every celebrity trial since. The gloves,

246
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:10.920
the Bruno Magle shoes, Kato'kaalan judge Eto, Marcia Clark's hair,

247
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:16.160
Johnny Cochrane's rhymes, Mark Furman's racism, the dream team versus

248
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:20.559
the prosecution team that dreamed it would be easy. Eight days,

249
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.200
eight months, of trial. One comprehensive look at how a

250
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:29.680
man who nearly decapitated his ex wife walked free. How fame, fortune,

251
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.240
and a fractured jury system let Oj Simpson get away

252
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.880
with Double Murder That starts Friday, September twenty sixth. Set

253
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.240
your reminders, clear your schedule. We're going back to when

254
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:46.160
Court TV was new, when DNA was mysterious, and when

255
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.160
America learned that justice has a price tag. The Trial

256
00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:54.039
of the Century thirty years later, starting this Friday on

257
00:17:54.119 --> 00:18:00.839
Celebrity Trials. That Celebrity Trials for Wednesday, septemnumber twenty fourth.

258
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.079
Did he wants out of jail because it's uncomfortable? A

259
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:06.599
country club shooter held a three year grudge over a

260
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:11.119
minimum wage job. A son plotted patricide for early inheritance,

261
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.039
and a mother starved her baby and left him to

262
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.559
die in the desert. Tomorrow verdict, watch in multiple trials,

263
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.440
and whatever fresh horror emerges. Plus Friday begins our eight

264
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:27.200
day journey through the OJ Simpson Trial, The double Murder

265
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:31.000
that changed everything. I'm read Carter. Some days this job

266
00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:34.680
is about celebrity scandals and legal drama. Other days it's

267
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.200
about babies. Dying in ditches, and fathers watching their sons

268
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:43.079
plot their murders. Today was the second kind. See you tomorrow.

269
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.519
And if you're feeling overwhelmed by your baby, your job,

270
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:50.880
or your inheritance timeline, there are options that don't involve murder.

271
00:18:51.559 --> 00:19:06.279
Use them. See you tomorrow,
