"GRANDMA BOOKS FLIGHT TO VIETNAM AS NAVY KILLER'S $850,000 CHECK 'BURNS': Third Wife Testifies While Death-Faking Fugitive Claims He's Irish

Reid Carter exposes three defendants living in fantasy worlds. Nicholas Kassotis's third wife testifies about an $850,000 house purchase that vanished in a suspicious car fire while Mindi's body decomposed. Donna Adelson, the 75-year-old grandmother accused of orchestrating son-in-law Dan Markel's murder, was arrested on a jetway fleeing to Vietnam after her son's conviction. Meanwhile, fugitive rapist Nicholas Rossi, who faked his death and fled to Scotland, maintains he's actually an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight who was framed while in a COVID coma. Three trials proving narcissists eventually run out of lies.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.279
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Red Carter and welcome

2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.320
to celebrity trials. And today we've got three trials that

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:19.399
prove reality is stranger than any screenplay Hollywood could write.

4
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.839
A Navy officer whose third wife just testified about an

5
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.280
eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars check that supposedly burned

6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.480
in a car fire, a seventy five year old grandmother

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.320
about to face trial for orchestrating her ex son in

8
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.640
law's murder. And a fugitive rapist who faked his own

9
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.039
death fled to Scotland and now claims he's an Irish

10
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.119
orphan named Arthur Knight. You can't make this stuff up,

11
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.719
but apparently these defendants tried. Let's start with the latest

12
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.479
from the Nicholas Casotis dismemberment trial in Georgia, where wife

13
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.320
number three just took the stand and blew this case

14
00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:02.840
wide open. Remember Nicholas sodis the former Navy jag officer

15
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.599
on trial for cutting his wife Mindy into pieces and

16
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.799
scattering her remains across two Georgia counties. Yesterday we heard

17
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.079
from parents who were told their daughter died in a

18
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.719
hospital that didn't exist. Today, we heard from a woman

19
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.879
who almost became victim number three. Samantha Kolesnik took the

20
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.439
stand on day four. Let me tell you her story

21
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:27.480
because it's a masterclass in manipulation. September twenty twenty two.

22
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.079
Kolesnik is a horror fiction writer and yes, the irony

23
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.480
is not lost on me. She gets a Twitter message

24
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.079
from someone named Nicholas Stark. He says he's bought all

25
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.840
four of her books. He's an unpublished short fiction writer himself.

26
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:48.439
They start chatting online, casual at first literary discussions, writer

27
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.280
to writer. By November twenty twenty two, the same month,

28
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:57.680
prosecutor say Cassodis murdered Mindy, the relationship turns emotional, phone calls,

29
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.200
deep conversations, tells her he's a widower. His wife, an

30
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.840
unborn child, died two years ago from blood pressure complications

31
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:11.439
and an undiagnosed heart condition two years ago. Remember that timeline.

32
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.919
December sixteenth, twenty twenty two, two weeks after hunters found

33
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.400
Mindy's dismembered remains, Casotis meets Kollsnik in person for the

34
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.560
first time. He's supposedly traveling for work, some big merger

35
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.840
that requires him to bounce between Georgia, Missouri, and Delaware.

36
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.280
Here's where it gets interesting. When Kolesnik gets a flat

37
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.400
tire in November, Casotis immediately pays six hundred dollars for

38
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:40.080
four new tires and two headlight bulbs. When she expresses

39
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.159
concern about the expense, he apologizes, saying he's out of

40
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.159
practice after grieving for two years. Out of practice, this

41
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.960
man's actual wife is decomposing in the Georgia woods, and

42
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.520
he's telling another woman he's out of practice at dating

43
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.599
because he's been grieving for two years. By February twenty

44
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:03.400
twenty three, they're engaged. April twenty twenty three, they're married.

45
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.719
On the marriage application, Casodis writes his name as Stark

46
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.759
and claims his previous marriage ended December first, twenty twenty,

47
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.520
but prosecutors say Mindy died between November twenty seventh and

48
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.159
twenty ninth, twenty twenty two. But here's the part that

49
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.599
should have sent this woman running the house purchase. They

50
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.240
decide to buy a house together find a perfect place.

51
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.039
Casdis says he'll handle the finances, makes an offer. It's accepted.

52
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.520
Closing date March twentieth, twenty twenty three. The morning of closing,

53
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.319
Casodis leaves to get a check for eight hundred and

54
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:45.240
fifty thousand dollars cash purchase, no mortgage. He never comes back. Instead,

55
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.800
Kolesnik gets frantic text messages he's been in a car accident.

56
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.000
When she finally sees him, he looked a little burned,

57
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.199
half an eyebrow. She testified, he's admitted to the hospital

58
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.360
and the eight hundred fifty thousand dollars check earned in

59
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.879
the car fire gone poof eight hundred and fifty thousand

60
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.639
dollars up in smoke. The house purchase never happens because

61
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.240
there was no check, there was no money. There was

62
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.519
probably no car accident. This man murdered his wife, immediately

63
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.319
started dating someone new, married her, and then faked a

64
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.079
car accident to explain why he couldn't buy her a house.

65
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.399
It wasn't until GBI agent Tracy Sands contacted her that

66
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:34.079
Kolesnik learned the truth. Casotis had multiple wives. She wasn't

67
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.680
the second, she was at least the third. She immediately

68
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.480
cooperated with investigators and got an annulment based on fraud.

69
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.399
The jury also heard Castis's twenty twenty three police interview

70
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.600
after his arrest. In it, he spins this elaborate tale

71
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.519
about harassment, assaults, and mysterious figures controlling his life. He

72
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.639
claims his father attacked him with a bat. He says

73
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.439
they lived with Mindy's family for over a year. He

74
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.199
paints himself as the victim of some vast conspiracy, but

75
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.800
the evidence tells a different story. The shopping receipts for

76
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:12.399
knives and shovels, the Clorox wipes scattered around Mindy's remains,

77
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.839
the immediate pursuit of another woman while his wife's body

78
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.120
was still being identified. This isn't a victim. This is

79
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:24.120
a predator. Seven women and five men on that jury.

80
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.879
They're hearing all of this. If they don't convict, there's

81
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:41.839
no justice left in Georgia. Back in a moment, Welcome

82
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.439
back to celebrity trials. I'm reed, Carter. Now let's talk

83
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.240
about a different kind of family dysfunction, the kind where

84
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.120
grandma allegedly orchestrates a hit on her ex son in

85
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.839
law because she wants to see her grandkids more often.

86
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.560
The matriarch of murder Donna Addelson, seventy five years old,

87
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:06.879
South Florida socialite grandmother, and, according to prosecutors, the mastermind

88
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.639
behind one of the most shocking murder for higher plots

89
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:15.199
in Florida history. Jury selection begins next Monday, August nineteenth,

90
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.560
in Tallahassee, the same courthouse where her son Charlie was

91
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.720
convicted last year, the same city she desperately wanted her

92
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.519
daughter to leave, the same place where Florida State University

93
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.439
law professor Dan Markell was shot twice in the head

94
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:38.360
in his own garage eleven years ago. Here's the family

95
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.759
tree of evil, as prosecutors see it. Dan Markelle was

96
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.839
in a bitter custody battle with his ex wife, Wendy Addleson.

97
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.839
Wendy wanted to move their three and four year old

98
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.360
sons to Miami to be closer to her family, specifically

99
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.079
her mother, Donna. The court said no, the boys had

100
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.160
to stay in Tallahassee, four hundred and fifty miles from Grandma.

101
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.959
So what has Grandma ly do? She gets her son

102
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:07.279
Charlie involved. Charlie, a wealthy periodontist, recruits his on again,

103
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:13.279
off again girlfriend, Catherine Magbanua. Magbanua knows some people. Specifically,

104
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.680
she knows Sigfredo Garcia and Luis Rivera Latin King's gang

105
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:24.279
members who need money. July eighteenth, twenty fourteen. Dan Marcel

106
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.319
pulls into his garage after dropping his kids at daycare.

107
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.240
Two shots to the head. One shatters his cheekbone, the

108
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.680
other lodges in his brain. He dies the next day.

109
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.319
For years, nothing happens. Then the dominoes start falling. Twenty sixteen.

110
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.319
Luis Rivera takes a plea deal nineteen years in exchange

111
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:49.959
for testimony. Twenty nineteen. Sigfredo Garcia convicted life in prison.

112
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:54.680
He was the trigger man. Twenty twenty two. Catherine Magbanua

113
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:59.480
convicted on retrial, life in prison. She was the middleman.

114
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:06.680
Twenty twenty three, Charlie Addelson convicted life without parole. He

115
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:12.160
was the moneyman. November thirteenth, twenty twenty three, one week

116
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:16.600
after Charlie's conviction, Donna Addlson is arrested, but not at home,

117
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.759
not at work, on the jetway at Miami International Airport,

118
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.079
about to board a flight to Vietnam one way ticket,

119
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:33.080
no extradition treaty with the US, according to prosecutors. After

120
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.639
Charlie's conviction, Donna had multiple phone calls with him, where

121
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:40.559
she talked about getting things in order, creating trusts, and

122
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.559
making sure her grandchildren are taken care of. She discussed suicide,

123
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.080
She discussed fleeing to a non extradition country, then she

124
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.039
bought those tickets. State attorney Jack Campbell told Court TV

125
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.039
they had to move up their timeline when we found

126
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.759
that she was leaving the country. Extradition would have been

127
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.320
an issue at her final pre tri While hearing last Thursday,

128
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.919
defense attorneys indicated Donna plans to testify in her own defense.

129
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.320
This should be interesting. What's she going to say that

130
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.799
she had no idea her son was hiring hitmen, that

131
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.120
she just happened to be fleeing the country a week

132
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.480
after his conviction that the one way ticket to Vietnam

133
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.440
was for a vacation. This is a family that ran

134
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:29.320
a successful dental practice, educated people, wealthy people, and allegedly

135
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.559
people who thought murder was an acceptable solution to a

136
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:37.879
custody dispute. Dan Markell's father Phil recently said, when I

137
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.360
say I've lost two grandchildren, at this moment, I feel

138
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.919
I've lost them. They've been Basically, I don't know what

139
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.879
they know about the situation. I don't know what they're

140
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.639
aware of I don't know how they feel about us.

141
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.279
Those boys are now thirteen and fourteen. Their father is dead,

142
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.440
their uncle is in prison for life, their grandmother is

143
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.159
about to go on trial for murder, and they haven't

144
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.919
seen their paternal grandparents in seven years, all because Donna

145
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.120
Adelson allegedly couldn't stand being four hundred and fifty miles

146
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:20.840
from her grandsons. Back in a moment. Now for the

147
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:25.399
most bizarre case of the day. Nicholas Rossi or Nicholas

148
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:29.759
Alaverdian or Arthur Knight, depends on when you ask him.

149
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.759
This guy is accused of raping two women in Utah

150
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.159
in two thousand and eight. When DNA finally identified him

151
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.159
as a suspect years later thanks to a backlog at

152
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.399
the crime lab, he did what any innocent person would do.

153
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.919
He faked his own death and fled to Scotland. In

154
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.440
twenty twenty, Rossi told media he had late stage non

155
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:53.519
Hodgkin lymphoma and weeks to live. An obituary was published

156
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.840
online claiming he died February twenty ninth, twenty twenty. He

157
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:03.559
was supposedly cremated. Case closed right wrong December twenty twenty one,

158
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:08.440
a man is hospitalized in Scotland with COVID nineteen. Routine

159
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.759
fingerprinting reveals he's not who he claims to be. He's

160
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.559
Nicholas Rossi, fugitive from Utah, very much alive. But here's

161
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:21.360
where it gets absolutely insane. Rossi insists he's not Nicholas Rossi.

162
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.440
He's Arthur Knight, an Irish orphan who has never set

163
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.919
foot on American soil. He claims, and I'm not making

164
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.639
this up, that authorities took his fingerprints while he was

165
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.320
in a COVID coma and framed him. While he was

166
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.320
in a coma, they framed him by taking his fingerprints

167
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:42.200
in Scotland. He fought extradition for three years with this story.

168
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.919
Three years of claiming to be Arthur Knight, speaking in

169
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.720
what witnesses described as a terrible fake British accent, and

170
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.960
insisting this was all a case of mistaken identity. He

171
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.759
was finally extradited to Utah in twenty twenty four. His

172
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.200
trial starts soon, but last week, at an evidentiary hearing,

173
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.279
he took the stand and the story got even crazier,

174
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:08.679
speaking in a raspy voice, still maintaining the accent by

175
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:11.679
the way. Rossi now admits he changed his name to

176
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.480
Arthur Knight, but not because he's a fugitive. No. He

177
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.080
claims he received credible threats against his life due to

178
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.360
his previous work in child services. He says he had

179
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.559
to change his identity for safety. He also claims he

180
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.240
worked as a public information officer for a company called

181
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:32.759
Ico in the UK. He's married to someone named Miranda Knight,

182
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.519
which is where he got the surname, and he says

183
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.039
if he's released from jail, his life will still be

184
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:42.240
in danger. The prosecutor's response, then jail would be the

185
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.399
safest place for you. Judge Derreck Pullan wasn't buying any

186
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.240
of it. He cited Rossi's history of lying, including the

187
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.120
whole faking his death thing, and ordered him held on

188
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:57.240
three hundred fifty thousand dollars bail. Rossie can't pay it,

189
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.720
so he sits in Utah County jail, still claiming to

190
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.919
be an Irish orphan, still speaking in that fake accent,

191
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.759
still insisting he's been framed. The FBI says he also

192
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.080
faces fraud charges in Ohio, where he was convicted of

193
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.960
sex related charges in two thousand and eight. At one

194
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.600
point he was wanted in Rhode Island for failing to

195
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:21.240
register as a sex offender. This isn't some innocent Irish orphan.

196
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.120
This is a serial predator who thought he could fake

197
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.000
his death and disappear. Two trials coming up, two different

198
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.159
women saying he raped them in two thousand and eight,

199
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:35.080
and his defense is what that the real Nicholas Rossi

200
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.559
is dead and this is all mistaken identity, that American

201
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.559
authorities flew to Scotland during COVID to frame an Irish

202
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:45.080
orphan that his fingerprints were planted while he was unconscious.

203
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.200
This is what happens when criminals watch too many movies.

204
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:51.919
They think they can create new identities, fake their deaths,

205
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.519
flee to foreign countries, and somehow the truth won't catch up.

206
00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:00.000
But it always does. Ask Nicholas Rossi or Arthur Knight,

207
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:08.960
or whatever he's calling himself today. Three trials, three different

208
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.919
flavors of delusion. Nicholas Casotis thought he could murder his wife,

209
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.919
marry another woman, and explain away eight hundred fifty thousand

210
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.480
dollars with a fake car fire. The juries hearing, how

211
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.440
he bought knives and shovels. Scattered chlorox wipes around crime

212
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:27.919
scenes and was shopping for wife number three while wife

213
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:32.440
number two was being eaten by insects. Donna Adelson allegedly

214
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.240
thought she could orchestrate her ex son in law's murder

215
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.200
and then fleet of Vietnam when her son got convicted

216
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.120
seventy five years old on a jetway with a one

217
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.159
way ticket, and she probably thought she'd gotten away with it.

218
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:49.080
Nicholas Rossy literally faked his own death, fled to Scotland,

219
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.720
claimed to be an Irish orphan, and insisted authorities framed

220
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.440
him while he was in a coma. He's still maintaining

221
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.440
the accent in a Utah jail where everyone knows exactly

222
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:05.039
who he is. What connects them narcissism, the absolute belief

223
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.840
that they're smarter than everyone else, that they can talk

224
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.879
their way out of anything. That lies become truth if

225
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.159
you just repeat them enough. But here's the thing about lies.

226
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.000
They require maintenance. You have to remember what you told

227
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.159
to whom, You have to keep your timeline straight. You

228
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:25.120
have to have explanations for the explanations. Casotis couldn't keep

229
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.559
straight whether his wife died in October or November, whether

230
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.679
it was two years ago or two months ago. Donna

231
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.720
Addelson couldn't explain why she needed a one way ticket

232
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:38.480
to Vietnam right after her son's conviction, and Nicholas Rossy

233
00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.360
he can't explain why an Irish orphan has the same

234
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.039
fingerprints as a convicted sex offender from Rhode Island. But today,

235
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:51.600
remember this. You can change your name, fake your death,

236
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.399
flee the country, or burn imaginary checks in imaginary car fires.

237
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:01.639
But the truth, the truth doesn't burn, It just waits.

238
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.039
I'm read Carter, and this is celebrity trials. Check your

239
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.759
grandmother's travel plans, verify those eight hundred and fifty thousand

240
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.679
dollars checks. And if someone claims to be an Irish

241
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.879
orphan named Arthur Knight, maybe run their fingerprints. See you tomorrow,
