1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.359
Callaroga Shark Media, good morning, I'm reed Carter. Wednesday, December tenth,

2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.719
twenty twenty five, Luigi Mangoni's pre trial hearing continues in

3
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.960
New York. Day four brought body camera footage from his

4
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.879
arrest at that Pennsylvania McDonald's last December. The moment police

5
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.079
found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of

6
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:32.119
underwear in his backpack, officer exclaimed, it's him, dude, it's him,

7
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.640
one hundred percent. Defense is fighting to suppress the evidence.

8
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.159
Prosecutors say the gun matches the weapon used to kill

9
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:45.399
United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. We'll have the update. Antonio Brown,

10
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.600
former NFL star facing attempted murder charges after allegedly shooting

11
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.320
at a man outside a celebrity boxing match in Miami,

12
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.280
is now claiming self defense. His attorneys filed a motion

13
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.679
to dismiss, saying the alleged victim has a violent criminal

14
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.520
history and was waiting outside to attack Brown. Brown says

15
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.840
he fired warning shots, not at the man. Brown's out

16
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.879
on twenty five thousand dollars bail, wearing a GPS monitor,

17
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.959
facing up to fifteen years if convicted. Michael Jordan versus NASCAR.

18
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.879
Day seven of the federal antitrust trial in Charlotte. An

19
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:24.000
economist testified twenty three eleven Racing is owed two hundred

20
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.439
fifteen point eight million dollars in damages. Front Row Motorsports

21
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.799
owed another one hundred forty eight point nine million dollars.

22
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.519
Total damages for all thirty six chartered teams over a

23
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.000
billion dollars. The judge is frustrated with the slow pace,

24
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.359
told attorneys he wants the plaintiff's case wrapped up today.

25
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.920
And Brian Walsh's murder trial continues in Massachusetts. Day six testimony,

26
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.560
more text messages, more forensic evidence, more pieces of Anna

27
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.519
Walsh turning up in garbage bags at a trash facility.

28
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.040
Her body has never been found. I'm reed Carter to

29
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.959
pre trial battles, self defense claims, sports business lawsuits, and

30
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.319
a husband who allegedly dismembered his wife after searching best

31
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:17.280
ways to dispose of a body. This is celebrity trials.

32
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.240
Luigi Mangone was back in court Monday for day four

33
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.599
of his hearing in Manhattan. The accused killer of United

34
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.599
Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson is fighting to exclude evidence from

35
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:33.280
his new York murder case, specifically the gun, the magazine,

36
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.439
and the notebook police found in his backpack after his arrest.

37
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.520
You remember the arrest. December ninth, twenty twenty four, five

38
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:45.120
days after Brian Thompson was shot dead outside a Manhattan hotel,

39
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.080
Mongioni was spotted at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about

40
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.360
two hundred and thirty miles west of New York City.

41
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.719
Someone called nine to one one said a customer resembled

42
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.360
the suspect in the CEO murder. Police responded. Christy Wasser,

43
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:03.479
a nineteen veteran of the Altoona Police Department, testified Monday

44
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.719
about what happened next. She arrived at the McDonald's to

45
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.919
assist another officer. Manjonet had already been handcuffed on initial

46
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:15.000
charges of forgery and false identification after he admitted giving

47
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.840
police a bogus driver's license, the same fake name the

48
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.879
alleged shooter had used to check into a Manhattan hostel.

49
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.960
Dazed before the murder, police informed Mangione of his right

50
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.680
to remain silent. He invoked it when asked if there

51
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.639
was anything in his bag officers should be concerned about.

52
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.360
He didn't answer, Wasser began searching the backpack at the

53
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:41.479
McDonald's standard protocol check for dangerous items. She said she

54
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.840
wanted to make sure there wasn't a bomb before taking

55
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.360
the bag out of the restaurant. But here's the thing,

56
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.520
despite that concern, police never cleared the restaurant of customers

57
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.360
or employees, just searched the bag right there. Body camera

58
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.159
footage played in court showed what Wasser found. First few

59
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:03.199
items were innocuous hogi, a loaf of bread, a smaller

60
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.840
bag with a passport, cell phone, and computer chip. Then

61
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.719
she pulled out a gray pair of underwear unwrapped them

62
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:16.560
inside a loaded gun magazine. The bodycam audio captured another

63
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.720
officer's reaction, it's him, dude, it's him one hundred percent,

64
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:25.279
punctuated with expletives. That magazine convinced Altoona police they had

65
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.040
their man, the suspected assassin of the United Healthcare CEO.

66
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.959
Waser testified she suspended her search after finding the magazine.

67
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.879
Satisfied there was no bomb, she placed some items back

68
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.639
in the bag. Some evidence, including Mangioni's laptop computer, was

69
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.120
transported to the police station in a brown paper McDonald's

70
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.879
takeout bag. Bodycam footage showed this. At the police station,

71
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.199
Wasser resumed searching almost immediately found the gun and a

72
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.279
silencer in a side pocket she hadn't checked. At the McDonald's.

73
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:01.160
Bodycam footage captured her reaction and she found the silencer.

74
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.040
She laughed and said nice. Later, during an inventory search

75
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.199
to catalog everything in the bag, she found the notebook,

76
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.279
the one prosecutor say contains Mangione's writings about his disdain

77
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.680
for health insurers and his ideas about killing a CEO

78
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.160
at an investor conference. When asked to explain her nice

79
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.759
comment and general enthusiasm during the search, Wasser told the

80
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.240
court she was proud of her department's work in helping

81
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:31.240
capture Thompson's suspected killer. But here's the legal issue. Mangioni's

82
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.000
defense team argues all this evidence should be thrown out.

83
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.120
They say police didn't have a search warrant and lacked

84
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.040
grounds to justify a warrantless search. If the judge agrees,

85
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.079
the gun, magazine, and notebook can't be used against Mangioni

86
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.560
at trial. Prosecutors counter that the search was legal and

87
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.439
that police eventually obtained a warrant. A Blair County prosecutor

88
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.160
testified that a judge signed off on a search warrant

89
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.000
for the bag a few hours after the searches were completed.

90
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.519
That warrant provided the legal mechanism for Altuna police to

91
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.240
turn the evidence over to New York City detectives. But

92
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.959
the defense argues, you can't do an illegal search then

93
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.279
get a warrant afterward to make it legal. That's not

94
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.439
how the Fourth Amendment works. The hearing continues, this applies

95
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.000
only to the state case in New York. Mangione's lawyers

96
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.600
are making a similar push to exclude evidence from his

97
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:24.360
federal case, where prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Throughout

98
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.639
the proceedings, Mangione has appeared in good health. He pumped

99
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.399
his fist for photographers Monday, chatted with his lawyers. He's

100
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.639
pleaded not guilty to both state and federal murder charges.

101
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.160
Brian Thompson was fifty years old CEO of United Healthcare,

102
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.720
walking to a shareholder conference at a Manhattan hotel when

103
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.759
he was shot from behind. The words delay, deny, and

104
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.439
depose were written on the ammunition, a phrase used to

105
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.439
describe how insurers avoid paying claims. The pre trial hearing

106
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.279
will determine what evidence the jury gets to see. If

107
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.839
Mangioni's lawyers succeed in suppressing the gun, the magazine, and

108
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:05.720
the notebook, prosecutors lose their most damning physical evidence. If

109
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.680
they fail, Mangione faces trial with an arsenal of evidence

110
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.839
tying him to the murder. Make it make sense. An

111
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.680
officer finds a loaded magazine wrapped in underwear, says it's him,

112
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.120
and now the defense argues the search was illegal. The

113
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:39.240
legal system at work. Antonio Brown thirty seven years old.

114
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:45.800
Former NFL Star All Pro wide receiver. Twelve year career

115
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:49.560
with the Steelers, Patriots, Raiders, and Buccaneers, nine hundred and

116
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:54.800
twenty eight receptions over twelve thousand yards, eighty eight total touchdowns.

117
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.680
Now he's facing attempted murder charges in Florida, and he's

118
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.040
claiming self defense. Brown's attorney, Mark Aglarsh, filed a motion

119
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.319
this week asking a judge to dismiss the attempted second

120
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:10.040
degree murder charge. The filing tells a very different story

121
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.920
from what prosecutors have alleged. Let's back up to May sixteenth,

122
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:19.480
twenty twenty five. Miami celebrity boxing match hosted by Internet

123
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:24.920
personality and streamer Aidan Ross. After the event, according to

124
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.279
an arrest warrant, Brown allegedly grabbed a handgun and fired

125
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:32.080
two shots at a man named Zulkar Naine Quam Nantambu.

126
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.759
Nantambu told investigators one of the bullets grazed his neck.

127
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.440
Brown was charged with attempted second degree murder, carries a

128
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.279
potential fifteen year prison sentence. He pleaded not guilty at

129
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.320
a hearing last month. Was released on twenty five thousand

130
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.759
dollars bail, required to wear a GPS ankle monitor, no passport,

131
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:53.960
living at his home in Broward County while the case proceeds.

132
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.679
But Brown's new filing paints the alleged victim as the aggressor.

133
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.039
According to the defense, it's Nantamboo is a convicted felon

134
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.799
with multiple fraud convictions and a violent history. The filing

135
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.440
says Nantamboo was waiting outside the celebrity boxing event, to

136
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.440
which he was not invited, for an opportunity to confront

137
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.480
Brown violently. Brown allegedly suffered injuries to his eye, knee,

138
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.759
and hands after being attacked by Nantambo before pulling out

139
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:23.120
his gun. And here's the key detail. Brown was legally

140
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.320
permitted to carry the weapon, it was lawfully concealed. While

141
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.240
prosecutors say Brown fired at Nantambu, the defense says Brown

142
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.879
intentionally aimed away from Nantambu as a warning shot, that

143
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.320
he didn't try to kill anyone, he was trying to

144
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.720
stop an attack. Then, according to the filing, Nantamboo wrestled

145
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.799
the gun away from Brown and ran off, stealing it.

146
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.679
Brown stayed at the scene and cooperated with officers. The

147
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:53.879
defense motion also highlights Nantamboo's criminal history beyond fraud convictions.

148
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.919
According to the filing, Nantamboo physically attacked Brown backstage at

149
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.039
a rap concert in twenty twenty three, and in twenty

150
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:06.120
twenty two, Nantambu was allegedly jailed in Dubai for thirty

151
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:10.399
days for stealing Brown's jewelry. If true, this isn't a

152
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:14.720
random encounter. This is an ongoing feud, someone with a

153
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.759
history of stealing from Brown and attacking him showing up

154
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.399
uninvited to confront him again. Nantambu made headlines earlier this

155
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.320
year for something completely unrelated. He disrupted the Super Bowl

156
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:29.559
halftime show by running across the field waving a Sudanese

157
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.879
flag with the message Soudan and Free Gaza face charges

158
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:38.120
for that incident too. Prosecutors initially sought pre trial detention,

159
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.600
arguing Brown as a high paid former professional athlete with

160
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.200
the resources to flee. At the bond hearing, they noted

161
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.480
he'd been living in Dubai for months before turning himself in.

162
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.960
Brown's attorney pushed back, said Brown didn't flee to Dubai.

163
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.320
Said he always had a desire and intention to answer

164
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.759
the case. Said Brown has business interest there, but always

165
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.519
play to return. The judge sided with the defense on

166
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.240
bail twenty five thousand dollars GPS monitor no passport now

167
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.720
comes the self defense claim under Florida's stand your ground law.

168
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.159
If Brown can demonstrate he was attacked first and reasonably

169
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.200
feared for his safety, he may be entitled to use

170
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.759
force to defend himself. The question becomes was firing a gun,

171
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:29.440
even as a warning shot, reasonable under the circumstances. If

172
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.639
the judge grants the motion to dismiss, the case is over,

173
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.919
Brown walks. If denied, the case proceeds to trial. Brown's

174
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.720
post NFL life has been chaotic. You remember him walking

175
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:44.559
off the field mid game in twenty twenty two, stripping

176
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.360
off his jersey and pads, throwing up peace signs to

177
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:51.960
the crowd. That was his last NFL moment Since then,

178
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:57.120
legal troubles, erratic social media posts, living abroad now attempted

179
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:01.679
murder charges, but self defense is a legitimate If Nantambou

180
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.759
has a documented history of attacking Brown and stealing from him,

181
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:08.159
and if Nantambou showed up uninvited looking for a confrontation,

182
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:12.159
Brown may have a case. We'll see what the judge decides.

183
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:16.080
Trial date not yet set. Brown remains free on bond,

184
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.799
wearing that ankle monitor. We'll be right back with Michael

185
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.480
Jordan taking on NASCAR in federal court. An economist says

186
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.039
twenty three to eleven, racing is owed over two hundred

187
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.039
and fifteen million dollars and the France family took four

188
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.000
hundred million dollars in distributions while claiming they're growing the sport.

189
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:48.759
Plus Brian Walsh's murder trial update. Welcome back to celebrity trials.

190
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:53.559
I'm reed Carter Charlotte, North Carolina, Federal Court, Day seven

191
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.279
of Michael Jordan versus NASCAR. The greatest basketball player of

192
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.000
all time is suing the most powerful family and motorsports

193
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.679
And Tuesday an economist told a jury that NASCAR owes

194
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.440
Jordan's racing team two hundred and fifteen point eight million dollars.

195
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.440
Let me explain what's happening here. Michael Jordan and three

196
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.679
time Daytona five hundred winner Denny Hamlin co owned twenty

197
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.480
three to eleven Racing. That's the name spelled out for

198
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.039
audio clarity, twenty three eleven. They started the team in

199
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.000
twenty twenty, one of the few black owned teams in

200
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:29.720
NASCAR history. Front Row Motorsports, owned by Bob Jenkins, is

201
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:34.159
the other plaintiff. Their damages one hundred forty eight point

202
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:38.639
nine million dollars. The lawsuit is about NASCAR's charter system.

203
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.759
A charter is like a franchise in other sports. It

204
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.360
guarantees thirty six teams, spots in the forty car field,

205
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.960
and specific revenue. But the teams say NASCAR's charter agreement

206
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.600
is unfair that the France family, which founded NASCAR in

207
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.919
nineteen forty eight, enriches itself at the expense of the

208
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:03.120
teams and drivers. September twenty twenty four, NASCAR presented teams

209
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.480
with a new charter agreement, a one hundred twelve page

210
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.480
document gave them until the end of that same day

211
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.279
to sign it. The teams called it a take it

212
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.879
or leave it ultimatum, said they signed it with a

213
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:19.559
gun to their head. Fifteen teams signed. Jordan's twenty three

214
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.519
eleven and Jenkins's front Row Motorsports were the only two

215
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:28.639
that refused. Then they sued, alleging antitrust violations. The trial

216
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.440
started last week in the Western District of North Carolina

217
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:36.039
and its moving slowly, so slowly that US District judge

218
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:41.000
has repeatedly admonished both sides to speed up. Monday, economist

219
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.840
Edward Snyder took almost the entire day to explain his

220
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:51.960
damage's calculations. Snyder is no lightweight professor of economics, worked

221
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:55.360
in the Anti Trust Division of the Department of Justice,

222
00:14:55.480 --> 00:15:00.000
testified in over thirty cases, including deflate Gait involving the Patriot.

223
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:04.279
Snyder outlined why he found NASCAR to be a monopoly

224
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:09.639
using anti competitive business practices. His complex formula determined twenty

225
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.720
three to eleven is owed two hundred fifteen point eight

226
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.919
million dollars, while front Row is owed one hundred forty

227
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.039
eight point nine million dollars. Combined three hundred sixty four

228
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.279
point seven million dollars for the two teams. But here's

229
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:27.960
the bigger number. Based on Snyder's calculations, NASCAR shorted all

230
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.240
thirty six chartered teams a total of one point zero

231
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.720
six billion dollars from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty four,

232
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.360
over a billion dollars. Snyder also testified about NASCAR's finances.

233
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.840
The organization had two point two billion dollars in assets,

234
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.080
an equity value of five billion dollars, an investment grade

235
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:50.960
credit rating, two hundred fifty million dollars in annual earnings

236
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.519
from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty four, and the

237
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.600
France family took four hundred million dollars in distributions during

238
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.039
that same period, while telling teams there wasn't enough money

239
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.720
to share. NASCAR's defense attorneys say Snyder's estimations are wrong.

240
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.399
They say their own experts take serious issue with his findings.

241
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.879
When defense attorney Lawrence Buderman asked Snyder his opinion on

242
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:20.000
NASCAR's upcoming expert witnesses, Snyder acknowledged they were two of

243
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:23.120
the best economists in the world. The judge wants the

244
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.879
plaintiffs to wrap up their case today day seven, but

245
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.559
lead attorney Jeffrey Kessler still has three witnesses on his

246
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:35.759
list after Snyder finishes testifying, and their big names Jim Franz,

247
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:40.440
NASCAR chairman, the man running the family business, Steve Phelps,

248
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.799
NASCAR commissioner, the one who called six time championship winning

249
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.399
owner Richard Childress a redneck in text messages said he

250
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.080
needs to be taken out back and flogged. Phelps apologized,

251
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:57.840
but Childress is considering legal action, and Richard Childress himself

252
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.759
Hall of Fame team owner, one of the most respected

253
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:05.279
figures in the sport who was apparently trash talked by

254
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:09.279
NASCAR's own commissioner. The trial has been embarrassing for NASCAR.

255
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:13.240
Every twist has been a setback. They've publicly admitted they

256
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.240
want to settle. Commissioner Phelps said so ahead of the

257
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:20.400
November season finale. Jordan has previously said he's open to settlement.

258
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:25.000
Several mediation sessions failed. NASCAR maintains it gave teams an

259
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:29.279
improved revenue model from the original twenty sixteen charter agreement,

260
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:32.559
says everything it's done is for the benefit of growing

261
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.440
the sport on the France family dime, but here's what

262
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.799
the teams say. Bob Jenkins claims he's never turned a

263
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:42.400
profit in more than two decades of racing, losses between

264
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:46.440
seventy million dollars and one hundred million dollars. Jordan and

265
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.480
Hamlin admit twenty three eleven has been profitable in its

266
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:53.680
five years, but largely because Jordan's global fame attracts high

267
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.799
dollar sponsors that other teams can't get. NASCAR says it

268
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:01.000
has sixteen witnesses on its list for the defense, including

269
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.839
Hall of Fame team owners Rick Hendrick and Roger Penske,

270
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.400
two of the most powerful figures in motorsports. Hendrick is

271
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.960
a close friend of the France family. Penske owns Indianapolis

272
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.720
Motor Speedway and IndyCar. The defense will argue that everyone

273
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.920
in racing understands the financials and willingly enters into NASCAR's

274
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.960
business model, that teams know what they're signing up for.

275
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.880
But Jordan is making this about fairness, about a family

276
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.279
dynasty that owns almost every track on the schedule, enriching

277
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.000
itself while the teams that provide the entertainment struggle about

278
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.279
a take it or leave it contract presented with same

279
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:38.839
day deadlines. Michael Jordan's involvement has put a spotlight on

280
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.319
NASCAR that the France family doesn't want a global icon,

281
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:46.279
trying to prove their dictators running a monopoly. The trial continues.

282
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:50.519
Nine person jury, billions at stake and the most famous

283
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:54.559
athlete in the world demanding accountability. Welcome to justice in

284
00:18:54.640 --> 00:19:03.640
Motorsports and Walsh's murder trial continues in Massachusetts. Day six

285
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:09.359
testimony Tuesday. More digital forensics, more text messages, more evidence

286
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:12.599
of what prosecutors say was a methodical cover up after

287
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.680
Walsh killed his wife Anna on New Year's Day twenty

288
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:20.279
twenty three. Quick background for those just joining us. Brian Walsh,

289
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.640
fifty years old, is charged with first degree murder in

290
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.920
the presumed death of his wife, Anna Walsh, thirty nine.

291
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:31.480
Her body has never been found. Prosecutors say Brian killed

292
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:35.240
Anna on January first, twenty twenty three, then spent several

293
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:38.559
days trying to conceal the crime. She was reported missing

294
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.039
by her employer on January fourth. By then, according to

295
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.680
the prosecution, Brian had already made trips to home depot,

296
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:50.519
lows and multiple dumpsters before jury selection. Last month, Brian

297
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:54.440
pleaded guilty to two charges misleading a police officer and

298
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.759
conveyance of a human body. He'll be sentenced on those

299
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.680
after the murder trial, but he's fi reading the murder

300
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:06.279
charge his defense. Anna died suddenly in bed sudden death syndrome.

301
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:10.000
He found her dead and panicked. The jury doesn't seem

302
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.920
to be buying it, and the evidence keeps piling up.

303
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:17.160
Day six brought more testimony from Massachusetts State Police Digital

304
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:22.039
forensic Examiner Trooper Connor Keith, more text messages between Brian

305
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.240
and Anna in the days before her death, and more

306
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:30.480
of Brian's Internet search history. December twenty fifth, twenty twenty two,

307
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:35.839
Christmas Day, Anna's flight got canceled. She drove to their

308
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:40.440
Cohasset home instead. That same day, Brian searched Christmas Day

309
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:44.680
plane crash and multiple searches for Anna Walsh found dead.

310
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.759
Make it make sense His wife's flight gets canceled and

311
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.200
he's searching whether she died in a plane crash. December

312
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:58.400
thirty first, the night before Anna's presumed death, Brian searched

313
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:03.200
restaurant reservations, made a reservation at a restaurant called Nightshade

314
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.519
for Anna and himself. On New Year's Day, search for

315
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.039
kids playhouses? How to start a charity? How to start

316
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:14.319
a church? Through five zero one C three then January first,

317
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.079
the day prosecutors say Brian killed Anna. The search has changed.

318
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:21.640
Best ways to dispose of a body? How long before

319
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:24.720
a body starts to smell? Is it possible to clean

320
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:28.079
DNA off a knife? Best ways to dispose of body

321
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:31.319
parts after murder? How to clean blood from a wood floor.

322
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:35.319
What does bleach do to dead bodies? How to dismember

323
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:39.640
a body? Hacksaw the best tool for dismembering a body?

324
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.279
January second? Can you be charged with murder without a body?

325
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.920
No corpse? No problem? Can you identify a body with

326
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:53.960
broken teeth? Earlier testimony revealed Brian searched for Patrick Kearney

327
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:57.559
on Wikipedia. Kearnie was known as the trash bag Killer,

328
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.799
a serial murderer who disposed a victim and trash bags

329
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.480
at dumpsters across southern California in the nineteen seventies. Brian

330
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.640
apparently took notes. Day five and six brought additional testimony

331
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.920
about what investigators found. A retired state police crime scene

332
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:22.519
technician described items recovered from a trash compactor, snips, hacksaw, hammer, packing, tape, hatchet, craftsmen, shears,

333
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:28.079
all with reddish brown stains. A forensic pathologist examined carpet

334
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:32.519
pieces with blood evidence. A DNA analyst described finding Anna's

335
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:36.160
green hunter boots in one garbage bag, her black jacket

336
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.319
with red brown stains, her COVID vaccination card, her purse,

337
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:45.160
a bracelet, Volkswagen keys. Other bags contained white towels with

338
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:50.039
reddish brown stains, a bathrobe with stains, slippers with stains,

339
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:54.799
and hair tissues with blood, a hammer, wire snips, shears,

340
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:00.160
a hacksaw, a large tarp, protective booties, safety goggles, a

341
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:04.680
tivek suit, and across multiple items DNA evidence linking both

342
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:08.720
Anna and Brian. But here's the defense theory. Anna had

343
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.920
a romantic relationship with a real estate broker named William Fasteau.

344
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.880
She'd bought a townhouse in Washington, d C. Where she worked,

345
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:21.559
planned to leave Brian. Defense attorneys argue Brian didn't know

346
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.200
about the affair, that Anna died suddenly in bed of

347
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:29.759
natural causes, that Brian panicked, made terrible decisions trying to

348
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.920
dispose of her body, but didn't kill her. The prosecution

349
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:37.519
isn't buying it. Those Internet searches started at four fifty

350
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.680
five am on January first, Best ways to dispose of

351
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.319
a body? If Anna died of sudden death syndrome in

352
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.759
their bed, why would Brian's first instinct be to search

353
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:51.839
how to dispose of a corpse. At the time of

354
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:55.599
Anna's death, Brian was on house arrest, awaiting sentencing for

355
00:23:55.720 --> 00:24:00.400
a separate fraud case involving fake Andy Warhol paintings. He

356
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:05.160
couldn't leave Massachusetts. His wife was the family's primary breadwinner,

357
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:08.839
making over three hundred thousand dollars annually, and she was

358
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:12.240
about to leave him. Text messages between Brian and Anna

359
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:14.880
in the days before her death were entered into evidence.

360
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.400
Multiple undelivered texts from Brian to Anna on January second

361
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:24.279
through fourth, Hello Thomas found the phone? Hello, where are you?

362
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:28.559
I'm worried, Please call texts to a dead woman whose

363
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:33.359
phone was presumably already in a garbage bag somewhere. Trial

364
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:38.680
continues this week. The prosecution's case is building mountains of

365
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:44.880
digital evidence, physical evidence, circumstantial evidence, everything pointing to a

366
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.480
husband who killed his wife, dismembered her body, and scattered

367
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:53.079
the pieces across Massachusetts. Anna Walsh was thirty nine years old,

368
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:58.680
Serbian immigrant, successful real estate executive, mother of three boys.

369
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.160
She should be ras raising those children, building her career,

370
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:06.359
living her life. Someone has to say her name. Someone

371
00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:09.200
has to remember she was more than evidence in garbage

372
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:17.279
bags at a trash facility. Rest in peace, Anna. That's

373
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:22.240
Celebrity trials for Wednesday, December tenth, twenty twenty five. Luigi

374
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:27.480
Mangoni's pre trial hearing continues. Bodycam footage showed the moment

375
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:31.160
police found a loaded magazine wrapped in underwear in his backpack.

376
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:36.279
Defense fighting to suppress the gun, magazine, and notebook. If

377
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:41.440
they succeed, prosecutors lose their most damning physical evidence. Antonio

378
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.880
Brown claims self defense in his attempted murder case. Says

379
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.240
the alleged victim has a violent criminal history and attacked

380
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.960
him first outside that celebrity boxing match, Brown fired warning shots,

381
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.200
not at the man, according to his attorneys motion to

382
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:01.640
dismiss pending. Michael Jordan versus NASCAR Enters Day seven economist

383
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:04.880
testified twenty three to eleven. Racing is owned two hundred

384
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:08.359
and fifteen point eight million dollars. The France family took

385
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:13.559
four hundred million dollars in distributions while teams struggled. Trial continues,

386
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:18.480
with Commissioner Steve Phelps and Chairman Jim Franz expected to testify,

387
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:23.359
and Brian Walsh's murder trial continues. Day six brought more

388
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:27.279
of those horrifying Internet searches and more evidence from garbage bags.

389
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:32.440
How to dismember a body, No corpse, no problem. Anna

390
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.240
Walsh is still missing. Her husband says she died suddenly.

391
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:40.839
