Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Friday, December twelfth,

2
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:18.600
twenty twenty five. Before we dive in today, mark your calendars. Sunday,

3
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.480
We're kicking off a special countdown series right here on

4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.480
celebrity trials, the top ten trials of the year. You

5
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.440
won't want to miss it now, Celebrities behaving badly, It's

6
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.799
what we do here. And today we've got four stories

7
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:37.560
that prove fame, money and talent don't exempt you from consequences, well,

8
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.679
mostly don't exempt you. Sometimes the system bends over backward

9
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.159
for the rich and famous. Michael Jordan's war with NASCAR

10
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.799
is over. Twenty three to eleven. Racing in Front Row

11
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.640
Motorsports have settled their antitrust lawsuit against the France Families

12
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:57.119
Racing Empire. We've been covering this trial for two weeks. Tuesday,

13
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.560
NASCAR CEO Jim France was sweating. On the Wednesday morning

14
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.640
settlement announced, terms undisclosed. Jordan claimed victory, NASCAR claimed victory.

15
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.159
Somebody's lying. Jennifer Shaw, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

16
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.879
Star is out of federal prison, served less than half

17
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.040
of her six and a half year sentence for defrauding

18
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:20.640
thousands of elderly victims in a telemarketing scam. She's in

19
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.760
community confinement now, halfway house or home confinement. Either way,

20
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.439
she's not behind bars while her victims are still waiting

21
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.879
for their six point five million dollars in restitution. Grammy

22
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.079
nominated opera singer Jubilant Sykes is dead seventy one years old,

23
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.159
stabbed to death in his Santa Monica home Monday night.

24
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.640
His son, Micah, thirty one years old, was arrested at

25
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.439
the scene. The call is coming from inside the house.

26
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.239
And Michigan football coach Sharon Moore was fired Wednesday morning

27
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.799
for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. By Wednesday evening,

28
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.519
he was in the Washtenaw County jail police investigating an

29
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.480
alleged assault. From national championship to jail cells in under

30
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.799
two years, I'm read Carter today, Celebrities and consequences or

31
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:12.479
the lack thereof. This is celebrity trials. Let's start with

32
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.680
the settlement that has the racing world buzzing. We've been

33
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.400
following this case since it began. Michael Jordan's six time

34
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.439
NBA champion, arguably the greatest basketball player who ever lived

35
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.639
decided to take on NASCAR, not on the track in

36
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.159
the courtroom. Twenty three to eleven Racing That's Jordan's team,

37
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.080
co owned with Denny Hamlin and business manager Curtis Polk,

38
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:37.759
filed an anti trust lawsuit against NASCAR alongside front Row Motorsports.

39
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.560
The allegation NASCAR operates as a monopoly. The France family,

40
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.039
which has controlled the sport since its founding, uses anti

41
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.840
competitive practices to squeeze teams while keeping the lion's share

42
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:55.000
of revenue. The teams wanted permanent charters. NASCAR's charter system

43
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.360
is essentially a franchise model, guarantees your team entry into

44
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.759
every race plus a bigger cut of the purse money

45
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.759
than open teams get. But the charters aren't permanent. They

46
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:11.360
expire when NASCAR's media deals expire. Current agreement runs through

47
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.719
twenty thirty one. After that, NASCAR could theoretically pull your

48
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.439
charter and you're out. Jordan wanted security. Front Row wanted security.

49
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:26.520
NASCAR said no. September twenty twenty four, NASCAR presented teams

50
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.039
with a take it or leave it charter offer, gave

51
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:33.759
them hours to sign. Most teams caved. Twenty three eleven

52
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:38.120
in front Row refused. Jordan testified during the trial, said

53
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.159
attorneys advised him the charter agreement could violate antitrust laws.

54
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.680
Said he felt he needed to challenge NASCAR, that the

55
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.759
sport he loved was being strangled by monopolistic practices. The

56
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.599
charter agreement included a non disparagement clause. Sign this and

57
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.360
you can never publicly criticize NASCAR again. Jordan, a man

58
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.360
who built his on competition and winning, wasn't about to

59
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.000
sign away his right to speak. So he sued, and

60
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.639
for two weeks we watched NASCAR squirm Tuesday. This week,

61
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:16.399
NASCAR CEO Jim Franz took the stand Wednesday morning, before

62
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.319
France could finish testifying, attorney Jeffrey Kessler announced that the

63
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.240
parties had reached a settlement in a way that will

64
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:30.639
benefit the industry going forward. Translation both sides blinked. Terms

65
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.079
weren't disclosed, of course they weren't. Settlements rarely are, but

66
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.040
here's what we know. Twenty three to eleven in front

67
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.360
Row raced as open teams for most of twenty twenty five.

68
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.560
After various court rulings, they were never in danger of

69
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.480
missing races. Not enough cars show up each week to

70
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.439
force anyone out, But they missed out on charter money,

71
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.279
charter revenue they would have had if they'd signed like

72
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.519
everyone else. So what did they get in this settlement?

73
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.360
We don't know. More money permanent charge changes to the

74
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.160
non disparagement clause. The France family doesn't exactly have a

75
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.959
reputation for generosity. What we do know is that Jordan

76
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.959
went up against one of the most entrenched family dynasties

77
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.160
in American sports and walked away claiming victory. The France

78
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.839
family has controlled NASCAR since Bill France Senior founded it

79
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.759
in nineteen forty eight. They've crushed every challenge to their authority.

80
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.600
Drivers who complained got blackballed. Team owners who pushed back

81
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.759
got squeezed out. But Michael Jordan isn't some mid level

82
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.160
team owner who can be intimidated. He's Michael Jordan. He

83
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.319
has more money than some NASCAR tracks are worth. He

84
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:41.040
has a platform, he has lawyers who've won antitrust cases.

85
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:46.040
Before the trial revealed what we already suspected. NASCAR takes

86
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.199
the majority of revenue while teams struggle with skyrocketing costs.

87
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.639
The next gen car introduced in twenty twenty two forced

88
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.839
teams to use NASCAR approved single source suppliers instead of

89
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.680
building parts in how costs went up, team share of

90
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:07.480
revenue didn't. Jordan saw an opportunity. Maybe he saw injustice,

91
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.399
maybe he saw a business deal gone bad. Either way,

92
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.240
he fought, and now it's over. Both sides get to

93
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.199
claim victory, both sides get to save face, and we'll

94
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.319
probably never know who really won. But I'll tell you this,

95
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.839
NASCAR will think twice before presenting another take it or

96
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.120
leave it offer to Michael Jordan. Sometimes the best outcome

97
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.240
isn't winning the lawsuit. It's making sure nobody tries to

98
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:46.680
push you around again. From a billionaire who fought the

99
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.759
system to a reality star, the system is letting slide.

100
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.560
Jennifer Shaw, fifty two years old, former star of the

101
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.399
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, sentenced in twenty twenty

102
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.040
three to six and a half years in federal prison

103
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.720
for wire fraud conspiracy. Defrauded thousands of people, many of

104
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.360
them elderly, many of them vulnerable, in a telemarketing scam

105
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.360
that ran for nearly a decade. Wednesday morning, Shaw was

106
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.120
transferred from the federal prison camp in Brian, Texas to

107
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.399
community confinement. That means she's either in a half way

108
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.720
house or on home confinement. Either way, she's not in

109
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:27.240
a prison cell anymore. Her projected release date is August thirtieth,

110
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:32.360
twenty twenty six. She was sentenced in January twenty twenty three.

111
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.920
Do the math. That's roughly three and a half years

112
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.160
served out of a six and a half year sentence,

113
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.800
less than half. The Bureau of Prisons wouldn't comment on

114
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:47.839
why she was transferred or where specifically she's being held. Privacy, safety,

115
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.000
and security reasons standard response. They never explain why some

116
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:57.079
inmates get early release while others serve every day. Let

117
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.000
me remind you what Jennifer Shaw did. She ran out

118
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:06.360
a telemarketing operation that targeted vulnerable people, elderly, unsophisticated, electronically

119
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:10.199
people who didn't understand they were being scammed. The scheme

120
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.519
promoted bogus business services, supposedly helping people make money through

121
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:19.639
online businesses, except the services were fake, the promises were lies,

122
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.879
and the victims lost everything. Assistant US Attorney Robert Sobelman

123
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.360
said Shaw was the most culpable of more than thirty

124
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.159
defendants charged in the nationwide fraud, the ringleader, the mastermind,

125
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:36.159
the one who made millions while her victims got nothing,

126
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.120
And what did Shaw do with those millions? Lived in

127
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.000
a ten thousand square foot mansion in Utah, called it

128
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:46.840
the Shawski Chalet, least a Porsche Panamera. Maintained an apartment

129
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:51.399
in midtown Manhattan, reality TV lifestyle funded by grandma's social

130
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:57.039
Security check. After her arrest, she marketed Justice for Jen merchandise, said,

131
00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.799
the only thing I'm guilty of is being Shaw Mazing.

132
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.960
Profited from her own criminal charges, mocked the victims while

133
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.879
fighting the case. At sentencing, she changed her tune. I

134
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:12.320
alone am responsible for my terrible decisions. It was all

135
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.320
my fault and all my wrongdoing. I wish I could

136
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.799
have stood outside myself and seen the harm I was

137
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.200
causing and changed course. I am profoundly and deeply sorry,

138
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.639
profoundly sorry, right, So sorry that she fought the charges

139
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:29.480
for years, So sorry that she sold merchandise making light

140
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.799
of her crimes, so sorry that she lived in luxury

141
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.720
while her victims struggled. She pleaded guilty in July twenty

142
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.759
twenty two, agreed to pay six point five million dollars

143
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:46.679
in restitution and forfeiture once released, once released, not before.

144
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.159
The victims have been waiting years, they'll keep waiting. Shaw

145
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.879
got six and a half years served, maybe three and

146
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.559
a half. Now she's in community confinement, which if its

147
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.919
home confinement, means she's probably in a comfortab house somewhere,

148
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.039
not a prison cell. Meanwhile, some kid caught with drugs

149
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.399
does ten years, a desperate person who robbed a convenience

150
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.919
store does fifteen, but a wealthy reality star who systematically

151
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.879
defrauded thousands of elderly people three and a half years,

152
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.519
and then she goes home. Welcome to justice in America.

153
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.600
Two tier system, one for the rich and famous, one

154
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:29.639
for everyone else. Your tax dollars at work. We'll be

155
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.679
right back with a Grammy nominated singer stabbed to death

156
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.960
in his own home by his own son. And a

157
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.879
Michigan football coach who went from national championship to jail

158
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:52.759
cell in under two years. Welcome back to celebrity trials.

159
00:10:53.360 --> 00:11:00.000
I'm Reed Carter. Monday night, Santa Monica, California, officers RESPET

160
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.480
responded to a nine to one one call reporting an

161
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.320
assault in progress at a residence in the coastal city

162
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:10.759
west of Los Angeles, inside. They found Jubilant Sykes, seventy

163
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:15.919
one years old, Grammy nominated opera singer, baritone voice praised

164
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:19.759
as charismatic by The New York Times, stabbed multiple times

165
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.759
critical wounds. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. His son,

166
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.159
Micah Sikes, thirty one years old, was at the home,

167
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:31.320
taken into custody without incident, arrested on suspicion of murder.

168
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.080
The call is coming from inside the house. Jubilant Sykes

169
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.159
was nominated for Best Classical Album at the twenty ten

170
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:42.480
Grammy Awards for Bernstein Mass, where he performed the celebrant role.

171
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.519
He appeared in the nineteen ninety Metropolitan Opera production of

172
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:51.440
The Gershwins Porgy and Besses as Jake, a Los Angeles

173
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.919
native who spent his career moving seamlessly between opera, classical music,

174
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:00.000
and pop. My singing is like breathing. It's an extension

175
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.759
of me, Sykes told NPR in two thousand and two.

176
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.559
I don't think of it as extraordinary. It's my passion.

177
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.039
He was artistic adviser for Orchestra Santa Monica, sang in

178
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.039
and narrated performances. The organization released a statement calling him

179
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:20.799
a true inspiration whose artistry, generosity, and kindness touched countless lives.

180
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:26.039
Music director Roger Kallia remembered him warmly. The community is

181
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.039
in shock. A man who brought beauty into the world

182
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:33.279
killed in his own home by his own son. Details

183
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.320
are scarce. Police recovered, a weapon, investigation ongoing, no information

184
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.159
about motive, no information about what led to the confrontation.

185
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.799
Just a seventy one year old father dead and a

186
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.480
thirty one year old son in custody. We don't know

187
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.919
if Micah Sikes has an attorney. We don't know what

188
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.039
happened in that house Monday night. We don't know why

189
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.679
a son would allegedly stab his father to death. What

190
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.080
we do know is this family violence is the most

191
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.519
common form of violence. The people most likely to hurt

192
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.879
you are the people you love, the people you trust,

193
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.960
the people you let into your home. Jubilant Sykes spent

194
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:19.759
his life creating beauty, opera, classical music performances that moved

195
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:23.840
audiences to tears. He was seventy one years old. Should

196
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.639
be enjoying retirement, should be mentoring young singers, should be

197
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:31.720
watching his grandchildren grow up. Instead, he's dead, allegedly killed

198
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.879
by his own child. Some cases don't have explanations that

199
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:39.840
make sense. Some violence defies understanding. A father and son,

200
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:45.120
a knife, a nine to one one call, A life ended.

201
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.799
Jubilant Sykes was seventy one years old. Grammy nominee Opera

202
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:55.960
Singer artist. Father. Should still be breathing, should still be singing,

203
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:03.480
Rest in peace, jubilant Finally today. How fast can a

204
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:08.000
career implode? Wednesday morning, University of Michigan announced it had

205
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:12.600
fired head football coach Sharon Moore for cause reason inappropriate

206
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:17.120
relationship with a staff member. University maintains zero tolerance for

207
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:21.559
such behavior. Wednesday evening, Moore was booked into the Washtonaw

208
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.679
County jail. From national championship to jail cell less than

209
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.919
two years. Let me back up. Sharon Moore thirty nine

210
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.480
years old, Kansas native didn't play football until his junior

211
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.879
year of high school, walked on at Butler County Community College,

212
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.879
then transferred to Oklahoma, where he played offensive line for

213
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:44.480
Bob Stoops. Coaching career started as a graduate assistant at Louisville,

214
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:49.039
then Central Michigan, then Michigan under Jim Harbaugh. When Michigan

215
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.960
won the twenty twenty three National Championship, Moore was offensive

216
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.639
line coach and co offensive coordinator. He filled in as

217
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.440
interim coach for four games while Harbaugh served suspense for

218
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:05.240
potential NCAA violations. The team went four and zero under Moore.

219
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.480
He looked like a rising star. January twenty twenty four,

220
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.840
Harball left for the Los Angeles Chargers. Michigan promoted Moore

221
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.320
to head coach, five year contract, base salary five point

222
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.120
five million dollars annually. The program was in good hands,

223
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.879
except it wasn't. Moore went eight and five in his

224
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:29.559
first season, nine to three this year, respectable, not championship caliber.

225
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.080
But the problems weren't just on the field. The NCAA

226
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.279
signed stealing scandal followed more into his tenure. Former staffer

227
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:40.440
Connor Stallions had led a scheme to steal opponent's signals.

228
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.080
Moore deleted an entire fifty two message text thread with

229
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:47.480
Stallions on his personal phone. The texts were later recovered

230
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:51.080
and shared with the NCAA. Moore was suspended for two

231
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.399
games this season as part of self imposed sanctions. The

232
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:59.240
NCAA added a third game, but the deletion the cover up,

233
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.320
That's what sought attention. What was in those texts that

234
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.600
Moore didn't want anyone to see? Now this inappropriate relationship

235
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.159
with a staff member. Moore is married with three young daughters.

236
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:16.399
The university provided no details about the alleged relationship. Hours

237
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:20.320
after the firing, Pittsfield Township Police, a couple miles south

238
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:23.840
of Michigan Stadium, issued a statement they were called to

239
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:28.519
investigate an alleged assault, took a person into custody. That

240
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:33.440
person was jailed pending review of charges by prosecutors. Given

241
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.279
the nature of the allegations, the need to maintain the

242
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.080
integrity of the investigation, and its current status at this time,

243
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.039
we are prohibited from releasing additional details. The statement didn't

244
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:49.200
name anyone, but Moore was booked into Washingtonaw County jail

245
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:53.720
Wednesday evening. The timing isn't coincidental. So we have an

246
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.919
inappropriate relationship and an alleged assault. We don't know if

247
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.440
they're connected. We don't know the nature of either allegation.

248
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:03.960
We just know that a man who was coaching a

249
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.799
top twenty team forty eight hours ago is now sitting

250
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.079
in a jail cell. Michigan is looking for its third

251
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:14.440
coach in four years, the winningest program in college football history.

252
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:19.000
In Chaos, The eighteenth ranked Wolverines play Texas in the

253
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.359
Citrus Bowl on December thirty. First interim coach Biff Poggy

254
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.799
will lead them. Moore's five year, twenty seven point five

255
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.640
million dollar contract terminated for cause the university owes him

256
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:36.319
nothing smart enough to win a national championship as interim coach,

257
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.880
too stupid to avoid destroying his own career. Make it

258
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:48.200
make sense. That's celebrity trials for Friday, December twelfth, twenty

259
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.279
twenty five. Michael Jordan's war with NASCAR ends in settlement

260
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:57.519
terms undisclosed, both sides claim victory. Jennifer Shaw walks out

261
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.000
of federal prison after serving less than half her sex.

262
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.000
Her elderly victims still waiting for six point five million

263
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:09.599
dollars in restitution. Jubilant Psykes seventy one years old, Grammy

264

nominated opera singer stabbed to death in his Santa Monica home.

265
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.400
His son, Micah arrested at the scene, and Sharon Moore

266
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.400
fired as Michigan football coach. Jailed hours later. From national

267
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:27.799
championship to criminal investigation in under two years. Don't forget Sunday.
