0:03 Caalarogashark Media. Good morning, I'm read Carter. Friday, October seventeenth, twenty twenty five. Sean Diddy Combs learned his post prison reality this week. Court documents reveal that after his four year sentence ends in late twenty twenty eight or early twenty twenty nine, he faces five years of supervised release, regular meetings with a probation officer, random drug tests, mental health treatment, domestic violence programs. His probation officer can drop in any time, search his property, residents, vehicle, computers, phones, no warrant needed, must work thirty hours a week. Can't own firearms, can't associate with criminals. The rap mogul who once boasted a billion dollar fortune will spend five years under government's supervision. Meanwhile, he's begging the judge to transfer him from Brooklyn Yann's Metropolitan Detention Center to a low level New Jersey prison. Wants access to drug treatment programs.

1:06 His lawyer says it's for rehabilitation. Prison consultants say he doesn't qualify. Sex offenders can't get into those programs. Wednesday, Charles Crawford was executed in Mississippi after thirty years on death Row convicted of raping and murdering twenty year old college student Christy Ray in nineteen ninety three. Final statement He's at peace, He'll be in heaven. Final words to the warden. Different story. The execution took fourteen minutes, and Ashley Monroe, thirty six, pregnant with her fifth child, was sentenced Wednesday to thirty to sixty years for a drunk driving crash that killed two men and injured fourteen family members, including eight children. Bac of point one nine five, nearly two and a half times the legal limit, fled the scene with a nearly empty pint of Crown Royal in her purse. Made one victim's wife a twenty eight year old widow. Another victim's wife had her leg amputated. I'm reed, Carter.

2:12 One wrapper facing supervised release. One murderer executed, one drunk driver who destroyed multiple families. This is celebrity Trials. Sean Diddycombs is currently at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, special housing unit notorious for violence, poor conditions, isolation. He's been there since September twenty twenty four. Calls it inhumane, says there's no clean drinking water, fear someone might murder him. Lives in a cramped, windowless cell. He was sentenced to four years after being convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution, with time served thirteen months already. He'll be released November twenty twenty eight, three years from now. Then the real restrictions begin. Wednesday, court documents revealed Ditty's post release conditions five years of supervised release, that standard for federal convictions, but the specific conditions paint a picture of a very different life than the one Diddy lived before.

3:18 First regular meetings with his probation officer, not occasional check ins, regular mandatory meetings. Miss one, that's a violation, back to prison. Second drug testing within fifteen days of release, didt He must take a drug test, then two periodic tests after that. Random scheduling could be tomorrow, could be next month. Must pass every test. Fail once, that's a violation did He confessed in court that his time in custody has been the first in twenty five years he's been sober. I lost my way, I got lost in my journey, lost in the drugs and the excess, he said. Now he'll be tested to ensure he stays sober for five years post release. Third treatment programs did he must participate in an outpatient mental health treatment program, an approved domestic violence program, and drug testing is part of an outpatient program, not optional.

4:15 Mandatory attendance skip sessions, that's a violation. Fourth Probation officer access. This is the big one. Ditty's probation officer can drop in on him at any time, no notice, no warrant needed, Just show up and demand access to his home, his vehicle, his property. Can search him personally, can search his papers, computers, cell phones, all without reasonable suspicion, just random checks to ensure compliance. That only requires a warrant if there's reasonable suspicion he violated release conditions. Otherwise it's open access. The government can walk into Ditty's life whenever they want for five years. Fifth residence approval did He must live at a location approved by the probation department. He can't just move into his sixty one point five million dollar Beverly Hills mansion or his forty eight point five million dollar Miami compound. The Probation office has to approve it. They could say no, too luxurious, not appropriate for supervision. Live where we tell you. Sixth work requirement? Did he must work at least thirty hours a week For a man with an estimated four hundred million dollar fortune. That seems absurd, but its standard conditions. Can't just live off wealth, must maintain employment, must prove your working Seventh No firearms, ammunition, destructive devices, or dangerous weapons. Did He can't own a gun, can't possess ammunition, can't have access to weapons. For someone

5:46 who lived a lifestyle involving security and protection, that's a significant restriction. Eighth, No association with criminals? Did He cannot communicate with anyone involved in criminal activity? Given his career in hip hop, given his connections, given his history, that's complicated. Who counts as involved in criminal activity? Anyone with a record, anyone under investigation. The probation officer decides these conditions aren't suggestions, their requirements violate any of them. Did he goes back to prison to serve additional time. The supervised release isn't a gift, It's an extension of his sentence in the community instead of a cell. And did he knows his current situation could be worse? He's begging Judge Aaron Subramanian to transfer him from MDC Brooklyn to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey low security prison, about four thousand inmates compared to MDC's one two hundred and fifty. Didty's lawyers filed a notice Monday requesting the change. The reasoning FCI Fort Dix offers a residential drug abuse Treatment program RDAP nine months long. Prisoners live in a designated section, spend days in treatment activities and work programs. Successful completion can reduce sentences by up to one year. Ditty's lawyer wrote the transfer would allow him to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts to tackle drug abuse issues. Sounds good, write,

7:19 get treatment, reduce sentence, be closer to family. Except there's a problem. Prison consultant Sam Mangle told The Daily Mail that Ditty doesn't qualify for URDAP. People with sex charges like Ditty cannot get into that program. It is common knowledge that anybody with a public safety factor with a sex charge is not eligible for r DAP. Sex offenders are excluded from the program that reduces sentences. Didty could take a non residential drug abuse treatment program three months no sentence reduction, but that's not what his lawyers requested. Mangle also said FCI Fort Dix is one of the worst in the BP Bureau of Prisons and that Ditty would likely be disqualified from the minimum security prison camp.

8:05 Within the facility, it is generally not a place where the BOP places violent offenders. So why are Ditty's lawyers requesting it. Either they don't know he's ineligible, unlikely they're good attorneys, or they're hoping for a waiver like Gislaine Maxwell got. The Jeffrey Epstein associate was moved to a minimum security camp despite sex trafficking charges, the only waiver Mangle knows of in BOP history. Ditty wants out of MDC Brooklyn. Understandable the place is notorious, but his options are limited. FCI Fort Dix might not accept him. Other prisons might be worse, and regardless of where he serves his sentence, those post release conditions remain the same. November twenty twenty eight, Ditty walks out of prison, fifty eight years old, no longer a billionaire, fortune estimated at four hundred million dollars, but legal fees and restitution will reduce that.

9:04 His Beverly Hills mansion listed for sixty one point five million dollars hasn't sold. His Miami compound was raided by Feds in March twenty twenty four. They seized one thousand bottles of baby oil, among other evidence. His reputation destroyed his career. Over his freedom restricted by five years of supervised release with conditions that prevent him from living anything close to his former lifestyle. Judge Subramanian ordered Ditty to pay a five hundred thousand dollars fine on top of his sentence. Most recently, the judge denied Ditty's request to throw out his conviction or grant a new trial, denied his requests for bail repeatedly. No indication the judge will grant the transfer to New Jersey. Ditty's reality three more years in prison, likely at MDC Brooklyn, then five years of supervised release with drug testing, probation checks, residence restrictions, work requirements, no firearms, no criminal associates, a very long fall from private jets and freak off parties. That's Diddy's future, not the glamorous life he once lived, the consequences of his actions catching up to him more in a moment Wednesday, six oh one pm Mississippi State Penitentiary and parchment. Charles Crawford, fifty nine years old, was strapped to a gurney in

10:36 the execution chamber thirty years on death row, ending his final statement to my family, I love you, I'm at peace. I've got God's peace. I'll be in heaven to the victim's family, true closure and true peace. You cannot reach that without God. Thank you God for giving me the peace that I have. Then he closed his eyes. The execution began. The first drug of the three drug protocol entered his veins. Crawford swallowed. Two minutes later, his chest moved rhythmically. At six o six pm, an unidentified man in a baseball cap and sunglasses entered to conduct a consciousness check, performed a sternal rub, declared, in my professional opinion, this man is unconscious. For four minutes, Crawford's mouth moved slightly, appeared to quiver once. Then at six eleven pm, all movements stopped. He was pronounced dead at six fifteen pm, fourteen minutes total. His final words to the warden before the execution weren't as peaceful. Different sources report different versions, but the message was clear. Crawford wasn't as ready to meet God as his final statement suggested. January twenty ninth, nineteen ninety three, Crawford abducted Christy Ray from her parents home in Tip County, Mississippi. Christy was twenty years old student at Northeast Mississippi Community College. Her mother came home

12:07 and found Christie's car gone, a handwritten ransom note left on the table. Crawford was out on bond at the time, awaiting trial on separate aggravated assault and rape charges. Days away from trial for a nineteen ninety one attack where he allegedly raped a seventeen year old girl and hit her friend with a hammer, he was arrested the next day. Claimed he was returning from a hunting trip, told authorities he blacked out and didn't remember killing Christie. Her body was found she'd been raped and murdered. Nineteen ninety four, Crawford was convicted of murder, rape, and abduction. The jury considered his prior rape conviction and aggravating circumstance, paving the way for the death sentence. He was also convicted in separate trials for the nineteen ninety one rape and hammer attack.

12:55 Despite claiming he didn't remember those crimes either. The blackout defense didn't work. Juries found him guilty, judge sentenced him to death. Crawford spent thirty years appealing. Wednesday morning, hours before execution, Crawford's attorneys filed an emergency motion seeking a stay, argued his nineteen ninety four conviction violated constitutional rights because his defense team conceded guilt against his wishes. Mississippi's Special Assistant Attorney General, Lodonna Holland rejected the claim, called it a last minute attempt to delay the lawful execution. The United States Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal Wednesday morning, but Justice Sonya Sodomeyer wrote a dissent joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Katanji Brown. Jackson Sodo Mayer noted a twenty eighteen Supreme Court ruling held that lawyers cannot override a defendant's explicit decision not to admit guilt at trial.

13:54 Under that ruling, Crawford could have proven his sixth Amendment rights were violated and would like to be entitled to a new trial. But Crawford's conviction became final before twenty eighteen. The Court has not squarely resolved whether that ruling is retroactive. The court refuses to resolve that question, even though a man's life is in the balance, Soda Mayo wrote, translation, Crawford might have a legitimate legal argument, but because his conviction was before the twenty eighteen ruling, the court won't apply it retroactively. He loses on a technicality of timing. That dissent didn't stop the execution. Crawford spent his last day visiting family and a minister ate. His final meal double cheeseburger, french fries, peach cobbler, chocolate ice cream, standard American comfort food for a man about to die. Mark McClure, Regional superintendent for Mississippi Department of Corrections, said Crawford was relaxed and ready to face today. After the execution, McClure said, it went as well as can be expected with this situation.

15:01 We just take everybody in the victim's family in our prayers. Following the execution, the Mississippi Office of Capital Post Conviction Council released a statement saying Crawford was executed without receiving a fair trial, despite a legal system that failed him. Charles Crawford Chuck spent every day in prison trying to be the best person, family member, friend, and Christian he could be. Chrissy Nobile, director of the office, characterized Crawford as a respected, uplifting presence on death row. Said he worked inside the prison and advocated for other inmates. That portrayal conflicts with the facts. Crawford raped and murdered a twenty year old college student while out on bond for raping a seventeen year old and attacking her friend with a hammer. He was a serial predator who claimed blackouts prevented him from remembering his crimes convenient memory loss. Crawford's execution was the second in Mississippi this year, the third execution in two days in the US. Tuesday saw executions in Florida and Missouri. Total of thirty eight men executed by court order so far in twenty twenty five. Six more executions scheduled this year next Richard Jerf convicted of killing four members of a family in Arizona over thirty years ago. Christy Ray's family attended the execution watched Crawford die got the justice they'd waited thirty years to see, But, as one family member said, afterward. True closure and true

16:32 peace doesn't come from watching someone die. It comes from living with the loss every day and finding a way forward. Charles Crawford is dead. Christy Ray is still dead. Her family still lives with that loss. The execution didn't bring her back. It just meant Crawford finally faced consequences for what he did in nineteen ninety three. More in a moment Wednesday afternoon, Saint John's Michigan, Ashley Marie Monroe, thirty six years old, stood before Judge Corey E. Barkman for sentencing.

17:17 Pregnant with her fifth child when she committed the crime, now facing thirty to sixty years in prison. May eighteenth, twenty twenty four, Monroe was driving on a rural road outside Lancing, bac of point one ninety five, nearly two and a half times the legal limit of point zero eight on prescription medication behind the wheel, despite being profoundly intoxicated. A family was walking along the road. Jonathan Esh thirty, married paramedic for Lancing Township, his brother in law Daniel Harris forty two, married father of four, Daniel's wife Jessica, and their five year old son fourteen total family members, including eight children half under age eight. Monroe's vehicle plowed into them, killed Jonathan instantly, killed, Daniel instantly, injured all fourteen others. Jessica Harris, who lost her husband, also lost her leg had to be amputated due to injuries from the crash. Monroe fled the scene, but a Sheriff's deputy responding to the crash spotted her vehicle heading in the opposite direction, cracked windshield, turned around, initiated a stop, arrested her within minutes. Deputies found a nearly empty pint of Crown Royal in her purse two prescription pill bottles in her car. Monroe was drunk, medicated, and pregnant, and chose to drive anyway. Wednesday's sentencing hearing was emotional. Family members delivered harrowing victim impact statements. Erica Glattz, Jonathan Esh's widow,

18:49 You made me a twenty eight year old widow in a bed that John and I once shared. I wake up alone in a home once filled with his laughter. I come home to violence. D Esh lost both her son Jonathan and her son in law Daniel in the crash. Addressed Monroe directly, make no mistake What you did was murder. You are a murderer. One day you will walk out of prison. My sentence only ends when I meet my son in heaven. That statement captures the fundamental injustice. Monroe gets thirty to sixty years, eligible for parole in twenty fifty four. She'll be in her sixties, maybe seventies, but she'll eventually walk free. D Esch's sentence is life. She'll never see her son again, never have another conversation with him, never watch him grow old. Monroe pleaded no contest to nine felonies, one count of second degree murder, eight counts of operating while intoxicated causing serious injury. As part of the plea deal, other charges, including fleeing the scene, were dismissed.

19:54 Prosecutor Deborah Martinez asked for the sixty year maximum, pointed to Munroe's conscious choice to drive while severely intoxicated and her decision to flee. That's the key conscious choice. Monroe knew she was drunk, knew she was on medication, knew she was pregnant, chose to drive anyway, then chose to flee after killing two people and injuring fourteen. Defense attorney Edward Zany referred the court to a sentencing memorandum detailing Monroe's remorse, but Monroe declined to address the court before sentencing. Didn't apologize, didn't explain, didn't take responsibility publicly, just stood silent while the judge imposed sentence. Judge Barkman sentenced Monroe to thirty to sixty years, bound by the Plea agreement establishing a thirty year minimum. Monroe will be eligible for parole in twenty fifty four. She was given credit for five hundred and fifteen days already served the time since her arrest in May twenty twenty four. Think about what Monroe destroyed. Two men dead. Jonathan esh was a paramedic, spent his career saving lives, married, had a future gone.

21:13 Daniel Harris was a father of four married Those four children lost their father. His wife, Jessica lost her husband and her leg has to raise four kids alone while learning to live with a prosthetic. Eight children under age eight witnessed the crash or were injured in it. Those kids will remember that day forever. The trauma of being hit by a car, seeing family members injured or killed. That's lifelong psychological damage. And Monroe was pregnant with her fifth child when she chose to drive drunk. What kind of judgment leads someone to risk not only their own life and their unborn child's life, but everyone else on the road. She already had four children, made the conscious choice to endanger all of them, plus the one She was carrying. Nearly empty Crown Royal in her purse tells the story. She'd been drinking heavily, not just one drink, enough to reach a bac ofero point one ninety five plus prescription medication. That combination is profoundly impairing. She couldn't walk straight, couldn't think clearly, couldn't react to a family walking on the side of the road, and her first instinct after the crash flee, not stop and help, not call nine one one, not check if anyone survived, Just drive away with a cracked windshield and blood on her conscience.

22:31 If that deputy hadn't spotted her and turned around, Monroe might have made it home, might have claimed someone stole her car, might have hidden the Crown Royal bottle, might have avoided responsibility entirely. But she was caught within minutes. The evidence against her was overwhelming, Monroe will serve at minimum thirty years, more likely forty or fifty before parole is granted. She'll be released as an elderly woman. Her children will have grown up without her. Her fifth child, the one she was pregnant with during the crash, will be in their thirties before Monroe is free. That's justice, but it doesn't bring Jonathan esh or Daniel Harris back, doesn't restore Jessica Harris's leg doesn't erase the trauma those eight children experienced. Doesn't give Erica Glattz her husband back, or d esch her son and son in law. Ashley Monroe chose to drive drunk and medicated while pregnant. That choice killed two people, injured fourteen, and destroyed multiple families.

23:30 Now she'll spend decades in prison living with those consequences. That's celebrity trials for Friday, October seventeenth, twenty twenty five. Did he face his five years of supervised release after his four year sentence ends in twenty twenty eight, drug testing, mental health treatment, domestic violence programs. Probation officer can search him any time, must work thirty hours a week, no firearms, no criminal associates. Meanwhile, he's begging to transfer from Brooklyn's MDC to a New Jersey prison for drug treatment, but prison consultants say sex offenders don't qualify for the program he wants. Charles Crawford executed Wednesday after thirty years on death row for raping and murdering twenty year old Christy Ray.

24:16 Final statement He's at peace, going to heaven. Final words to the warden less peaceful. Supreme Court declined his appeal despite Justice Sodomayer's descent. The execution took fourteen minutes. Ashley Monroe sentenced to thirty to sixty years for drunk driving crash that killed two men and injured fourteen family members. Bac nearly two and a half times legal limit on prescription medication, pregnant with her fifth child, fled the scene with an empty Crown Royal bottle in her purse. Made a twenty eight year old woman a widow. Another victim's wife lost her leg eligible for parole. Twenty fifty four. I'm Reid Carter. One rapper learning his post prison restrictions.
