"MARK SANCHEZ SUED FOR MILLIONS, TWO CHILD KILLERS SENTENCED & THE BOYFRIEND WHO SCATTERED HIS GIRLFRIEND'S BONES"

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Wednesday, October eighth, twenty twenty five. Yesterday we covered Mark Sanchez fighting a sixty nine year old oil collector over a parking space. Today we cover the lawsuit Perry Tol, the man Sanchez threw toward a dumpster before getting stabbed, is suing Sanchez and Fox Corporation for millions. His speech has been affected, his jaw is damaged, his face is permanently disfigured, all because a drunk NFL analyst decided a parking space was worth fighting over. Darien Brown pleaded guilty to murdering four year old Cash Journan life in prison. Bianca Ellis goes on trial for murdering three year old Julian Wood, both claiming mental illness, both facing life sentences. And in Florida, Daniel Stearns has been convicted of killing his girlfriend, Nancy Howery, shooting her in the head during a supposed gun lesson, then spending weeks burying her, digging her up, burning her body, and scattering eight hundred bone fragments across four different locations so nobody would find her. Welcome to Wednesday, where parking disputes lead to lawsuits. Mental illness doesn't excuse child murder, and boyfriends turned girlfriends into scattered remains. This is Celebrity Trials.

1:27 Quick update on Mark Sanchez, who we covered yesterday for his Saturday morning parking space brawl in Indianapolis. Perry Toll, the sixty nine year old truck driver who stabbed Sanchez in self defense, filed a civil lawsuit Monday. He's suing both Mark Sanchez personally and Fox Corporation, Sanchez's employer. The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney's fees, and anything else the court deems appropriate. According to court documents, Toll has suffered severe, permanent disfigurement, loss of function of other physical injuries, emotional distress, and other damages as a result of Sanchez's actions. His attorney, Eric May, told reporters that Tolly's speech and other functions have been affected by injuries to his mouth, jaw, and face. Think about that. Perry Toll was working collecting used cooking oil from hotels and restaurants at twelve thirty in the morning, making an honest living, and Mark Sanchez drunk and aggressive threw him toward a dumpster and beat him badly enough that his speech is now impaired, his jaw is damaged, his face is permanently disfigured.

2:35 May said Toll is back home recovering, but will require extensive medical care in the coming days, weeks, and months. Toll has worked his whole life. May said, it's a heck of a thing to see somebody like that still working as hard as he was, and he's hopeful to continue working someday. He's a tough son of a gun, hopeful to continue working someday. That's what happens when a professional athlete attacks you. You don't know if you'll be able to work again. Your face is permanently changed, your jaw doesn't work right, your speech is impaired, all because you were in the wrong alley when the wrong drunk celebrity decided you were parked in the wrong place. The lawsuit also goes after Fox Corporation the claim Fox knew or should have known about Sanchez's unfitness as an employee, propensity for drinking and or harmful conduct, and failed to supervise him properly. The suit accuses Fox of negligent hiring.

3:31 That's a tough legal argument to win. Fox would have to know Sanchez had a history of getting drunk and attacking people, and hired him anyway or failed to supervise him. But it's worth filing because Fox has deeper pockets than Sanchez. You can get a judgment against Sanchez personally, but can you collect. Fox Corporation can definitely pay. On the criminal side, Sanchez posted a three hundred dollars bond after his arrest. Three hundred dollars that's what it cost to get out of jail after throwing a senior citizen toward a dumpster and getting charged with felony battery. He had an initial hearing scheduled for yesterday, but a judge granted a motion to waive the hearing. It's been rescheduled for November fifth.

4:13 Sanchez still faces one felony battery charge carrying one to six years in prison, plus three misdemeanors battery resulting in injury, public intoxication, and unlawful entry of a motor vehicle. Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears was right when he said this was a situation that did not need to occur. We are literally talking about people fighting over a parking space, but it did occur, and now Perry Toll has permanent damage to his face, jaw and speech. Mark Sanchez faces criminal charges and a civil lawsuit. Fox Corporation is dragged into litigation over their analysts drunken parking dispute all over a parking space at twelve thirty in the morning in downtown indianas Apolis. That's the update. We'll follow both the criminal case and the civil lawsuit as they proceed. Now to Dallas, where Darien Brown pleaded guilty Monday to murdering four year old Cash Jernin. Brown now twenty two, entered the plea moments before his trial was set to begin life in prison without parole. May fifteenth, twenty twenty one.

5:25 Five am. Home surveillance footage shows an unknown male entering a bedroom where four year old Cash Jernin and his twin brother are sleeping. The mail picks Cash up from his crib. Cash doesn't wake up. The mail carries the sleeping child out of the house. Nearly two hours later, seven am, a nine to one one caller reports finding an unresponsive child lying in a puddle of blood in the street eight blocks away. The child is dead, brutally murdered by eleven am. Cash is reported missing. Monica Sherid, the girl friend of Cash's father, identifies the man in the surveillance video, Darien Brown. She knew him he'd been to the house before. Brown's defense team claimed he'd recently been released from a mental health facility before the murder, that he suffered from hallucinations, that he was in a trance like state. In twenty twenty two, a judge found Brown incompetent to stand trial. He spent over two years in psychiatric custody. In January twenty twenty five, he was declared competent Monday morning, moments before trial, Brown pleaded guilty to first degree felony murder. The charge was reduced from capital murder in exchange for the plea life without parole.

6:40 He'll die in Texas prison. After sentencing, prosecutors read victim impact statements from Cash's family. Trevor Gernon, Cash's father, wrote that his son's death has reduced him to a fraction of his former self, that he would have given his life to defend Cash, that initially he wanted the death penalty for Brown, but Cash's death wasn't painless or humane, so he wanted Brown to live out his life behind bars instead. That's both mercy and vengeance. Brown doesn't get execution, he gets decades of waking up knowing he murdered a four year old child, sixty years of carrying that weight. Mental illness explains behavior, it doesn't excuse murder. Brown was competent enough to enter a house, locate a child, remove him from his crib, and transport him eight blocks. That's planning an execution, not a trance. Cash Jernin should be eight years old now third grade, growing up with his twin brother. Instead, he's dead, murdered at four, his family destroyed.

7:45 Because Darien Brown made a choice. Brown has sixty years to think about that choice. Locked in Texas prison, no parole, no second chance, just decades of consequences for what he did to an innocent child. To Cleveland, where opening statements began Tuesday in the trial of Bianca Ellis, accused of randomly stabbing three year old Julian Wood to death outside a grocery store June twenty twenty four. Margo Wood is shopping with her three year old son Julian at Giant Eagle in North Olmsted, Ohio. Just Saturday, errands a mom and her toddler getting groceries. Bianca Ellis, thirty two, goes to the Volunteers of America thrift store next door and steals two knives, then walks to Giant Eagle. She spots Margo pushing Julian in a shopping cart. Margo is returning to her car. Julian is sitting in the cart, probably tired from shopping. Ellis runs at them with a knife, no warning, no words, just runs directly at a woman and her three year old child. She stabs Julian multiple times while he sits in the shopping cart, while his mother stands right there. Margo tries to pull Julian to safe tries to protect her son. Ellis stabs her too.

9:04 Margo survives, Julian doesn't. Three years old, murdered by a stranger in a grocery store parking lot. Authorities believe Margot and Julian were randomly targeted. Ellis didn't know them, no connection, no motive, just saw mother and child and decided to stab them. Ellis Is pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. In September twenty twenty four, she was giggling in court during proceedings about the murder. That behavior led a judge to rule her incompetent. She spent five months in psychiatric treatment. In February twenty twenty five, she was deemed competent enough to stand trial. Opening statements began Tuesday. The prosecution laid out their case. Ellis stole knives, stalked a mother and child, attacked without provocation, murdered a three year old, and tried to kill his mother. They argue this wasn't mental illness, this was evil. The defense are ugues Ellis was so mentally ill she couldn't understand right from wrong that her giggling proved her disconnection from reality. That randomly murdering a three year old proves insanity, because no sane person would do that. But insanity doesn't mean this was crazy. Insanity means you didn't understand what you were doing or that it was wrong. Ellis stole knives before the attack, choose a weapon, went to a specific location, targeted specific victims, ran at them with purpose. That's not someone who doesn't understand reality. That's someone who understands exactly what they're doing and does it anyway. Julian Wood should be four years

10:37 old now, starting pre k making friends, driving his mother crazy with questions. Instead, he's dead. Margo Wood is traumatized forever reliving the moment she tried and failed to save her son. Ellis faces ten felony charges, including murder and attempted murder if convicted, life in prison. If found not guilty by an insanity, indefinite commitment to a psychiatric facility. Either way, she never walks free. The trial continues this week will cover the verdict when it comes. For now a jury must decide whether Ellis is mentally ill or just evil hiding behind mental illness. We'll be right back with Daniel Stearns and the girlfriend he turned into eight hundred scattered bone fragments to Florida, where Daniel Lauren Stearns has been convicted of second degree murder, abuse of a dead human body, and tampering with evidence for killing his girlfriend Nancy Howery, then spending weeks trying to make her disappear.

11:55 February fifteenth, twenty twenty three, Howery, forty four years old, divorced mother of two, spent her last morning with her friend Eana Ramos. They drank coffee together. Nancy talked about meeting Daniel Stearns, her on and off boyfriend. She face timed with him repeatedly. The conversations got heated. Around eleven thirty a m. Nancy left Ramos's house to meet Daniel. She was last seen alive leaving to meet him at a CVS parking lot. She never picked up her children from school that afternoon or the next day. Her ex husband Todd reported her missing. Police found Nancy's gray twenty fourteen Honda Odyssey abandoned in Palm Bay. Personal items and groceries were inside, her driver's license, her bank card, everything except Nancy. Investigators focused on Daniel Stearns. Todd Howery had an alibi backed by surveillance footage. Stearns was a thirty five year old US Army veteran who served an Afghanistan, trained in combative techniques and Iiketo martial arts, and when police talked to him on February nineteenth, he lied. Sterens told police he and Nancy had a falling out and he hadn't seen her in weeks. He claimed not to have her number, offered vague suggestions about where she could be, but flock license plate reader cameras told a different story.

13:23 Stern's black Chevrolet Silverado was recorded repeatedly going to a location called the Compound, an undeveloped twelve point two square mile area in Palm Bay late at night, multiple trips. Something was happening out there. The Brevard County Sheriff's Office and the Game Over Task Force started surveillance on March eighth. They watched Stern's home around nine fifteen pm. They saw his truck at the residence early hours of March ninth. They saw him place an unknown item in the truck bed, handle a shovel, and move in and out of the truck several times. At four fifteen am, he left in the black pickup inside the compound. Agent Tyler Harrel hid overnight doing surveillance. He heard a loud metallic pinging sound.

14:09 Later found freshly disturbed dirt with circular shovel like grind marks. Saw Stern's truck with a shovel in the bed. On March ninth, the Star Unit helicopter with infrared surveillance followed sterns watched him dump material from a bucket into a canal, then he was detained. Police found shovels, gloves, a tarp, and other items in his truck. Cadaver dogs were brought in. A dog named Tito, trained to detect decomposition odor, alerted on five different spots in the compound, five different locations. Nancy Howery wasn't buried in one place, she was scattered. Over the next several days, investigators recovered human remains from four different locations within the compound, not a body, fragments, over eight hundred bone fragments, skin fragments ranging from four to twenty nine centimeters, three pieces of skull bone with matted hair, skin fragments with fingernails showing red and gold nail polish, tooth evidence. Doctor Heather Walsh Hainey, forensic anthropologist from Florida Gulf Coast University, examined the fragments. Extreme fragmentation pieces ranging from half an inch to three point five inches consistent with fire damage and thermal exposure. She identified a semicircular defect with beveling on a skull fragment, a gunshot exit wound to the right temple area, also blunt forced trauma to the left side of the victim's head.

15:38 All the fragments came from one person, Nancy Howery, confirmed by a fingerprint lifted from a skin fragment that matched Nancy's left middle finger. Doctor Matrina Schmidt, Associate medical Examiner, determined cause of death gunshot wound to the head. Manner of death homicide. Here's what happened according to the evidence. Even though the jury never heard Stern's confession, it was suppressed for Miranda violations. Sterens and Nancy met up after arguing, he claimed, she asked for a shooting lesson. They went to the compound. During the lesson, Sterne said Nancy lunged at his gun. After a struggle, he shot her once in the head. Then, instead of calling police, Stens carried her body into the woods and left her. Returned later and buried her. Returned again, dug her up, transported the remains to a different part of the compound, doused her body in lighter fluid, and set it on fire. Days later, he returned to gather the burned remains into buckets, which he then scattered across multiple locations. This wasn't panic, This was methodical destruction of evidence. Multiple trips, multiple locations, fire scattering, all designed to make Nancy Howery disappear forever. The prosecution didn't have Stern's confession because it was ruled in admissisle, so they built their case on digital forensics, cell data and forensic anthropology, and on Stern's own Internet search. History

17:08 agent Jason Hammond from the digital forensics unit testified about searches on Stern's phone. Searches for violent content on a livegore dot com woman dies of stab wounds, uncensored videos, murders, executions, suicide's, terrible accidents, searches related to local crimes, two black teens found dead at the compound. Searches about blood loss. If I lose a lot of blood, how long before I can't put it back into my body? Search is about hiding evidence. Which materials can hide you from thermal devices? Amazon searches for tactical torches and butane torches. Those searches happened after Nancy disappeared. Sterns was researching how to hide a body from police, how to avoid thermal detection, how to burn remains effectively. The defense tried to argue suicide or accident, suggested Nancy might have shot herself. Claimed Sterns panicked and cremated the body rather than reporting it asked the jury to ignore the fact that he spent weeks burying, digging up, burning, and scattering her remains across four locations.

18:16 That's not panic, that's cover up. Panic is calling nine to one one. Panic is leaving the scene. Panic is not methodically returning multiple times over several weeks to destroy and scatter evidence. The jury, deliberated for two and a half hours, found Stern's guilty on all counts, second degree murder with a firearm, abuse of a dead human body, and tampering with evidence. He faces up to life in prison on the murder count, plus up to fifteen years for abuse of a dead human body and up to five years for evidence tampering. Sentencing is scheduled for December third. Nancy Howry was forty four years old, a divorced mother of two. She ran an Amazon arbitrary business, buying in bulk and reselling goods. She had friends, she had family, She had children who needed her. Daniel Stearns shot her in the head, then spent weeks turning her into eight hundred bone fragments scattered across four locations. So her family would never find her. Her children had to wait weeks before police could even confirm their mother was dead because Stearns had burned and scattered her so effectively. But forensic anthropologists pieced together those eight hundred fragments, identified the gunshot wound, lifted a fingerprint from a skin fragment confirmed it was Nancy, gave her family answers. Even though Stearns tried to make her disappear forever. The jury saw through his lies, saw through the suicide theory, saw through the accident claims. They

19:48 saw exactly what happened. Daniel Stearns murdered his girlfriend, then spent weeks trying to hide what he did. He failed. Nancy's remains were found, her cause of death was determined, her killer was convicted, and in December he'll learn exactly how long he'll spend in prison for turning the woman he supposedly loved into scattered fragments across a Florida wasteland that celebrity trials for Wednesday, October eighth, twenty twenty five. Perry Toll is suing Mark Sanchez and Fox Corporation for millions after suffering permanent disfigurement, impaired speech, and jaw damage from a parking space brawl. His attorney says he's hopeful to work again someday. He's sixty nine years old and doesn't know if he'll recover enough to continue his job collecting cooking oil, all because a drunk NFL analyst decided throwing him toward a dumpster was an appropriate response to a parking disagreement. Darien Brown got life without parole for murdering four year old Cash. Journal mental illness explains his actions, but doesn't excuse them. Cash's father wants Brown to spend sixty years thinking about what he did. Bianca Ellis is on trial for randomly stabbing three year old Julian Wood to death outside a grocery store. The jury must decide if she's insane or just evil. And Daniel Stearns was convicted of murdering Nancy Howery, then spending weeks burning her body and scattering eight hundred bone fragments across four locations.

21:21 He tried to make her disappear forever. Forensic anthropologist pieced her back together. The jury saw through his lies. December third, he learns how long he'll spend in prison for what he did. I'm Red Carter. Wednesday proved that violence has consequences. Whether it's a parking dispute, child murder, or turning your girlfriend into scattered remains, Eventually you face justice. Sometimes it's a lawsuit. Sometimes it's life in prison. Sometimes it's both. Mark Sanchez threw away his career over a parking space. Darien Brown and Bianca Ellis threw away their freedom killing children. Daniel stern Earns threw away his life trying to hide what he did to Nancy Howery. All of them made choices.

22:06 All of them face consequences. See you tomorrow with whatever fresh horrors America produces overnight
