00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.720
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Red Carter. Wednesday, January seventh,

2
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.919
twenty twenty six, and back to regular court coverage today,

3
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.960
and we've got a busy docket. New England Patriots star

4
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.000
Stefan Diggs wide receiver pro bowler Cardi B's baby daddy

5
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.800
charged with felony strangulation after allegedly attacking his private chef

6
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.000
over money she asked for her paycheck. He allegedly smacked

7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.479
her across the face, wrapped his arm around her neck,

8
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.600
and choked her until she thought she was going to

9
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.799
black out, then threw her on a bed, called her

10
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.640
a liar. Patriots say they support Stephan. His lawyer says

11
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.359
the charges are a financial dispute that got out of hand.

12
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:50.039
Arraignment January twenty third. In Texas, the first trial connected

13
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.399
to the Uvalde school shooting begins today. Former school resource

14
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:58.719
officer Adrian Gonzalez faces twenty nine counts of child endangerment

15
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.079
and abandonment. He was among the first cops on scene

16
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.519
May twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, and among the nearly

17
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.640
four hundred who waited more than seventy seven minutes while

18
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.560
children called nine one one begging for help. Nineteen kids,

19
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.359
two teachers dead because officers stood in a hallway and

20
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.719
did nothing. Now one of them finally faces a jury,

21
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.680
and in Miami, fifteen year old Derek Rosa is fighting

22
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.120
to suppress his confession. He was thirteen when he stabbed

23
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.159
his sleeping mother more than five times, took photos of

24
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.359
her body, sent a bloody selfie to friends, then called

25
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.959
nine one one himself. Yesterday the nine one one tape

26
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.680
played in court, Rosa covered his ears, couldn't listen to

27
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.480
himself describing how she bled out all over the floor.

28
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:50.280
I'm reed Carter today, an NFL star accused of strangulation,

29
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.840
a cop who failed twenty one children, and a teenager

30
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.120
who can't face what he did. This is celebrity trials.

31
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.000
Let's start with Stefan Diggs, thirty two years old, wide

32
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.639
receiver for the New England Patriots. Ten year NFL veteran

33
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.240
four time Pro bowler, had six consecutive thousand yard receiving

34
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.159
seasons with Minnesota and Buffalo from twenty eighteen to twenty

35
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.960
twenty three. Signed a three year, sixty nine million dollar

36
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:25.080
deal with New England last year, twenty six million guaranteed

37
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.639
and now he's charged with felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault

38
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:34.400
and battery. Court hearing tuesday in Dedham, Massachusetts, revealed the details.

39
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.879
A woman who worked as Diggs's private chef went to

40
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.000
police December sixteenth to report an assault that happened two

41
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.840
weeks earlier. According to the police narrative filed with the court,

42
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.680
the woman was living at Diggs's home working as his

43
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.879
personal chef. On that night in early December, she was

44
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.719
in her bedroom when Diggs came in and got angry

45
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.080
during a discussion about money. She told police she hadn't

46
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.879
been paid. What happened next, according to police, Diggs smacked

47
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.960
her across the face. She tried to push him away.

48
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.039
He grabbed her from behind and tried to choke her,

49
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.400
using the crook of his elbow around her neck. Officer

50
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.039
Kenneth Ellis wrote in his report that the woman said

51
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.400
Diggs was behind her with his arm wrapped around her.

52
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.479
She had trouble breathing felt like she could have blacked out.

53
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.000
Then Diggs allegedly threw her on a bed and called

54
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.199
her a liar when she said she hadn't been paid.

55
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.319
The chef left diggs home in her position, but she

56
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.039
returned December ninth to collect her belongings. That's when things

57
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.599
got even more interesting, according to police, when she tried

58
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.599
to get her final paycheck, Diggs referred her to his assistant.

59
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.080
The assistant told her she had to sign a non

60
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.439
disclosure agreement before she would be paid. Let me repeat

61
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.759
that an NFL star allegedly assaulted his employee, and when

62
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.280
she tried to collect her wages, she was told to

63
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.840
sign an NDA. First, no signature, no paycheck. She didn't

64
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.319
sign it, she went to police instead. Officer Ellis noted

65
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.159
that the woman was initially reluctant to file charges, changed

66
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:10.159
her mind last week, wanted criminal charges brought. Diggs attorney

67
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:15.159
David Meyer released a statement categorically denying the allegations, called

68
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:20.800
them unsubstantiated and uncorroborated. Said the timing and motivation are

69
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.480
crystal clear. Quote. They are the direct result of an

70
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.959
employee employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the

71
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:33.240
employee's satisfaction. Translation, She's only going to the cops because

72
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.199
we wouldn't pay her. Here's the problem with that defense.

73
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.839
You don't get to assault someone and then say the

74
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.480
charges are just a financial dispute. The money argument and

75
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.319
the strangulation charge are separate issues. Even if there was

76
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.240
a legitimate pay dispute, and it sounds like there was,

77
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.519
that doesn't excuse allegedly choking someone until they nearly passed out.

78
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.560
The Patriots released a brief statement, we support Stephan. That's it,

79
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.079
four words, standing by their receiver. This isn't Diggs's first

80
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.120
controversy with the team. Last May, a video surfaced showing

81
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:10.920
him on a boat passing what appeared to be a

82
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.839
bag of pink crystals to women. Nobody knows what the

83
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.160
substance was. The NFL had no comment. Patriots coach Mike

84
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.439
Vrabel said the team would handle it internally, whatever that means.

85
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.360
Diggs also recently welcomed a son with rapper Cardi B

86
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.439
in November. Cardi B, you may recall, just won her

87
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.800
own legal battle in September when a jury found her

88
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.240
not liable in an assault lawsuit brought by a former

89
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.000
security guard. Arraignment for Diggs is set for January twenty

90
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.959
third felony strangulation in Massachusetts carries up to five years

91
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.199
in prison. The misdemeanor battery charge adds up to two

92
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.800
and a half years. Here's the pattern we see over

93
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:54.959
and over. Wealthy powerful man allegedly assaults employee. Employee wants

94
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.199
payment for services rendered. Employer demands NDA in exchange for wages.

95
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:05.600
Employee refuses. Employer's lawyers call the whole thing a financial dispute.

96
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:10.120
NDAs don't work when there's criminal conduct involved. You can't

97
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.040
buy your way out of a strangulation charge. You can't

98
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.480
make someone sign away their right to report a crime

99
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.839
in exchange for their paycheck. Diggs is presumed innocent. Trial

100
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.160
will determine guilt, But asking an assault victim to sign

101
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.480
an NDA before paying them, that's consciousness of guilt. That's

102
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.920
someone who knows they did something wrong and is trying

103
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.759
to cover it up. Make it make sense. We'll be

104
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.959
right back with the first Uvaldi trial. A school resource

105
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.040
officer who stood in a hallway while children died finally

106
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:58.600
faces a jury. Welcome back to celebrity trials, I'm read Carter.

107
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:04.720
May twenty fourth, twenty twenty two. Rob Elementary School, Uvalde, Texas,

108
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.079
a small town of fifteen thousand people about eighty miles

109
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:13.040
west of San Antonio. An eighteen year old gunman entered

110
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.959
the school and opened fire in two connected fourth grade classrooms,

111
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:22.399
children ten and eleven years old, their teachers. Nearly four

112
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:28.560
hundred law enforcement officers responded, local police, school police sheriff's deputies,

113
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.480
state troopers, border patrol agents, and they waited seventy seven

114
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.800
minutes while children called nine one one from inside the classroom,

115
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.079
while parents outside begged them to go in, while victims

116
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:47.319
bled out on the floor. Nineteen children died, two teachers died,

117
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:52.439
twenty one people murdered while cops stood in a hallway. Today,

118
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:57.120
the first officer goes on trial. Adrian Gonzalez, former Uvalde

119
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:02.839
Consolidated Independent School District police officer, school resource officer, the

120
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:07.680
person whose job, literally his job was to protect those kids.

121
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.079
He was among the first officers to arrive and among

122
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.879
those who waited more than an hour while children died.

123
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.560
Gonzalez is charged with twenty nine counts of abandoning or

124
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.920
endangering a child. According to the indictment, he abandoned his training,

125
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.120
did not confront the shooter, even after hearing gunshots while

126
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.319
standing in the hallway. He pleaded not guilty last July.

127
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.840
His attorney, Nico le Hood, a former Bexar County district

128
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:36.440
attorney said, Gonzalez feels he's innocent and that all he

129
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.639
did was try to show up to help those children.

130
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.600
Trying to help and actually helping are two very different things.

131
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.360
Showing up and then standing in a hallway while kids

132
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.559
die isn't helping. It's failure. The Department of Justice released

133
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.360
a scathing report on the police response, called it riddled

134
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:59.960
with failures, cascading failures in training, communication, and leadership. Office

135
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.559
users did not follow active shooter protocol, did not try

136
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.080
to breach the classroom, did not treat it like the

137
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:10.279
life or death emergency it was. Instead, they waited while

138
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.679
children made nine one one calls. Please send the police.

139
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:17.559
Now he's going to kill me. Send help. The calls

140
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:22.559
were made during those seventy seven minutes while officers stood outside.

141
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.919
Parents arrived at the school. Some tried to go in themselves,

142
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.039
were restrained by police, handcuffed, pepper sprayed, told to stay

143
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.679
back while their children were dying, and cops did nothing.

144
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.360
Former school police chief Pete Aredondo was the on site

145
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:41.960
commander that day. He's also been indicted ten counts of

146
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.320
abandoning or endangering a child. His indictment says he failed

147
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.679
to identify an active shooting, did not follow his training,

148
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.799
and made decisions that slowed the police response while the

149
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:57.440
gunmen was hunting victims. Aredondo's trial hasn't been scheduled yet.

150
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:02.360
Gonzales goes first. This is historic. It's extremely rare for

151
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.639
law enforcement officers to face criminal charges for failing to

152
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:10.240
act during a mass shooting. The only comparable case Scott Peterson,

153
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:15.039
sheriff's deputy at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

154
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.360
He stayed outside during the twenty eighteen massacre while seventeen

155
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.440
people were killed. Charged with felony child neglect, and acquitted.

156
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.360
Jury found him not guilty. That acquittal looms over the

157
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:32.120
Uvaldi case. If Peterson wasn't convicted for doing nothing during Parkland,

158
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:36.240
can Gonzales be convicted for doing nothing during Uvalde? The

159
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.519
families are watching. Jerry Matta lost his ten year old

160
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.720
daughter Tess in the shooting. After Gonzalez's arraignment, he said

161
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:47.240
there should have been more indictments, only two to be indicted.

162
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.360
There should have been more because there was a lot

163
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.799
of ranking officers during that day that knew what to

164
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:55.840
do but decided not to but Matas said, the families

165
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.039
would take what they could get. We'll take what we get,

166
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.639
and we're just going to continue fighting for the kids

167
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.000
and the two teachers and see it all the way through.

168
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.200
Each charge against Gonzales carries up to two years in

169
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:12.559
jail twenty nine counts, maximum of fifty eight years if

170
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:18.600
sentences run consecutively, but that's unlikely. More realistic a few years,

171
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:23.679
maybe probation, maybe nothing if the jury acquits. The defense

172
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.639
argument is that you can't criminalize police hesitation, that officers

173
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.279
face split second decisions, that it's unfair to judge them

174
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.159
in hindsight. But seventy seven minutes isn't a split second decision.

175
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.320
That's four than six hundred and twenty seconds of doing

176
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:44.799
nothing while children died. The victims' names Navai Bravo, Jackie Cazarez, McKenna,

Gonzalez stands trial and everyone watches to see if there's

186
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:32.000
any accountability, any at all for the catastrophic failure that

187
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:37.519
killed them. Your tax dollars at work coming up. A

188
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.000
fifteen year old covers his ears as his own nine

189
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.039
one one call plays in court. She bled out all

190
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:57.759
over the floor. The Derek Rosa murder trial. Welcome back

191
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:03.759
to celebrity trials. I'm reed, Carter, October twelfth, twenty twenty three, Hialea, Florida.

192
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.000
A nine to one to one call comes in from

193
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.879
a thirteen year old boy. Miss I shot my mom.

194
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:14.200
The operator tries to clarify, the boy corrects himself. My

195
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.679
mom died. She was sleeping and I stabbed her in

196
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:21.039
the throat and in the back. That thirteen year old

197
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:25.720
was Derreck Rosa, now fifteen, on trial for first degree murder,

198
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.240
and yesterday he sat in court and covered his ears

199
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.799
while that nine one one call played for the judge

200
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:36.759
couldn't listen to his own confession. Here's what prosecutors say happened.

201
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:42.759
Early morning, October twelfth. Rosa's mother, Irina Garcia, was asleep

202
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:45.519
in her bed. Her two week old baby girl was

203
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:49.879
sleeping nearby. Rosa allegedly entered the bedroom and stabbed his

204
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:54.559
mother repeatedly while she slept, more than five times. Detective

205
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.720
josephil Osegi testified yesterday that Garcia suffered multiple stab wounds.

206
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.039
The autopsy found one wound was just one millimeter away

207
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:06.440
from her carotid artery. She bled out, and then Rosa

208
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:11.080
did something that defies explanation. According to prosecutors, he took

209
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.519
a photo of his mother lying in a pool of blood,

210
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.879
then took a selfie showing his hand covered in blood,

211
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:22.360
and sent both images to a friend documentation like a trophy,

212
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.960
evidence of what he'd done shared with someone else. Then

213
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.440
he called nine to one one himself. On the call,

214
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.960
Rosa couldn't give his address, told the operator he only

215
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.679
knew that it says two to one on the door

216
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.279
of the apartment, had to search for mail to find

217
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.360
out where he lived. He was thirteen, didn't know his

218
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:44.960
own address. When the despatcher asked why he killed his mother,

219
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.519
Rosa responded, I didn't want to be here no more.

220
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.559
I didn't want to be alive no more. He refused

221
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.799
to check if his mother was still breathing. She's dead.

222
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.159
I stabbed her. I stabbed her more than five times.

223
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.159
She bled out all over the floor. Yesterday. As that

224
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.559
call played in court, Rosa sat with his head down,

225
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:13.240
eyes closed, fingers plugging his ears, squirming in his seat,

226
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.840
couldn't handle hearing what he'd done. But prosecutors say this

227
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.039
wasn't the first time Rosa displayed disturbing behavior. Two weeks

228
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.000
before the murder, on September thirtieth, two thousand twenty three,

229
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.919
Rosa allegedly sent a group text to students at his school,

230
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.320
asking do you want me to scare you? Then sent

231
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:36.639
a graphic video of an army reservist who had killed himself,

232
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.399
followed it with a happy face emoji with a gun

233
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.080
pointed at its head. Hours before killing his mother, Rosa

234
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:47.039
allegedly showed the same suicide video to his girlfriend, was

235
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.840
joking and laughing about it. Told her the video of

236
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.840
a man's head exploding was funny. His girlfriend didn't find

237
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:57.720
it funny broke up with him later that day. That night,

238
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.080
he stabbed his mother to death. After the attack, according

239
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.799
to investigators, Rosa got a firearm from the closet and

240
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:10.960
thought about shooting himself, changed his mind. When police asked

241
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.039
why he killed his mother, Rosa allegedly said he stabbed

242
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.799
her in a place where a lot of blood sprays out,

243
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.279
knew exactly what he was doing, wouldn't give detectives a reason.

244
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.559
The current court hearing is about whether Rosa's statements to

245
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.120
police should be suppressed. His defense attorneys argue he was

246
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.720
still a child at the time, point to the fact

247
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.000
that he couldn't give his address on the nine one

248
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.320
one call, that when asked to sign a form, he

249
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:43.759
said he didn't have initials signs of immaturity. Prosecutors counter

250
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:48.159
that Rosa was properly mirandized. Body camera footage shows detective

251
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.679
Elo Segui going through the warnings line by line, having

252
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.720
Rosa read them back to him he understood his rights.

253
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.320
Rosa is charged as an adult with first degree murder.

254
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.080
In Florida, there's no minimum age for adult prosecution in

255
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:07.039
murder cases. If convicted, he faces life in prison. Here's

256
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.079
what makes this case so chilling. Rosa displayed warning signs,

257
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:16.519
shared graphic suicide content, joked about death, sent violent imagery

258
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:20.720
to classmates. His girlfriend ended their relationship because of his behavior.

259
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.720
Hours later, he stabbed his mother while she slept with

260
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.480
a two week old baby in the next room. Erna

261
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.839
Garcia was his mother should be raising that baby girl

262
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.400
right now, should be watching both her children grow up. Instead,

263
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.720
she's dead, stabbed more than five times by her thirteen

264
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.039
year old son while she slept. Derek Rosa couldn't listen

265
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.000
to his own nine one one call, covered his ears,

266
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.640
couldn't handle the sound of what he'd done. But Arena

267
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.680
Garcia doesn't get to cover her ears, doesn't get to

268
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.480
look away. She's dead because her son decided she had

269
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.559
to die. Rest in peace, Arena. Someone has to say

270
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:05.640
your name. That celebrity trials for Wednesday, January seventh, twenty
