"MARK SANCHEZ'S PARKING SPACE WAR & GHISLAINE MAXWELL'S FINAL APPEAL DIES"

"MARK SANCHEZ'S PARKING SPACE WAR & GHISLAINE MAXWELL'S FINAL APPEAL DIES"

Reid Carter covers Mark Sanchez's Indianapolis disaster where the FOX analyst got stabbed fighting a 69-year-old oil collector over a parking space. Surveillance shows drunk Sanchez doing wind sprints in an alley before attacking, getting pepper sprayed, then stabbed in self-defense. Charges upgraded to felony battery carrying five years in prison. Ghislaine Maxwell's Supreme Court appeal denied, leaving her to serve twenty years for recruiting teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein. The Trump DOJ defended her conviction after interviewing her about Trump's Epstein connections. Tuesday proves celebrity stupidity and sex trafficking both lead to the same place: prison.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.560
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Reed Carter. Tuesday, October seventh,

2
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:19.239
twenty twenty five. Today on Celebrity Trials, Mark Sanchez, former

3
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.239
NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst, got drunk in

4
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.280
Indianapolis and decided to fight a sixty nine year old

5
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.640
man collecting used cooking oil for a living over a

6
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:34.240
parking space. Surveillance video shows Sanchez doing wind sprints in

7
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.479
an alley before the attack. Wind sprints, then he threw

8
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.200
a senior citizen toward a dumpster, ignored pepper spray, and

9
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.119
got stabbed multiple times. He's facing five years in prison

10
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.159
for being the dumbest person in Indianapolis. On Saturday night,

11
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.359
Anne Galaine Maxwell tried one last time to escape her

12
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.159
twenty year sentence for recruiting teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein.

13
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.920
The Supreme Court said no, She'll die in federal prison

14
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:05.680
and nobody feels sorry for her. Welcome to Tuesday, where

15
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.959
a celebrity throws away his career over a parking dispute

16
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.280
and a sex trafficker's final appeal dies without comment from

17
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:22.079
the highest court in America. This is Celebrity Trials. Let's

18
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.560
start with the celebrity story that proves money, fame, and

19
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.319
a Super Bowl ring don't make you smart. Mark Sanchez,

20
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:33.879
thirty eight years old, former USC star, former New York

21
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.760
Jets quarterback, current Fox Sports analyst got into a fight

22
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.040
with a sixty nine year old man over a parking

23
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.640
space in downtown Indianapolis early Saturday morning, and by the

24
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.319
time it was over, Sanchez was in the hospital with

25
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.519
multiple stab wounds, facing felony charges, and probably wondering how

26
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.680
his life went from calling football games to fighting senior

27
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.760
citizens and alleys. Saturday, October fourth, twelve thirty am, Sanchez

28
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.040
is in Indianapolis to work the Colts Raiders game on Sunday.

29
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.840
He's staying near Lucas Oil Stadium, and instead of being

30
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.639
in bed preparing for game day, he's drunk in an

31
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.840
alley behind lof Miller's Pub and eatery, confronting a man

32
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.400
whose job is collecting used cooking oil from hotels. The

33
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.599
victim is sixty nine years old. He works for a

34
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.400
company that collects grease and cooking oil from restaurants and hotels.

35
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.319
He was parked in an alley between the Western Hotel

36
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.280
and the Indianapolis Marriott downtown doing his job at twelve

37
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.840
thirty a m. On a Saturday, not bothering anyone, just

38
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:38.000
collecting oil. Then Mark Sanchez shows up. Surveillance footage from

39
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.240
the Marriotte shows what happened next, and it's both absurd

40
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:46.719
and horrifying. Sanchez jogs into the alley, not walks, jogs

41
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.719
like he's warming up for a game. He approaches the

42
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.800
man's box truck and starts talking to him. According to

43
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:58.000
the probable cause affidavit, Sanchez appeared intoxicated, smelled of alcohol,

44
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.879
and told the worker he'd spoken to the hotel manager,

45
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.759
who said the truck wasn't supposed to be there. The

46
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.879
sixty nine year old tried to explain he was just

47
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.639
doing his job, tried to call his supervisor. Sanchez allegedly

48
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.800
blocked him from making the call. Then Sanchez opened the

49
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.879
driver's door of the truck and climbed inside. The worker

50
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.319
told him to leave. Sanchez didn't leave. He was drunk, aggressive,

51
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.800
and apparently convinced this parking situation required his personal intervention.

52
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.199
The surveillance video shows the two men circling the truck.

53
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.759
Then a witness in a nearby car reported something that

54
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.120
makes this story even stranger. The two men were recording

55
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.599
each other with cell phones before the fight began, recording

56
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.400
each other like this was some kind of social media

57
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.639
confrontation instead of a drunk celebrity harassing a working man.

58
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.719
But here's where it gets completely insane. Multiple sources told

59
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.280
Fox fifty nine that Sanchez started doing wind sprints in

60
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.000
the alley before the stabbing wind sprints. The former NFL

61
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.319
quarterback was running back and forth in an alley, drunk

62
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.879
in the middle of the night, preparing to fight a

63
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.680
sixty nine year old oil collector like it was the

64
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.800
fourth quarter of a playoff game. The fight moved to

65
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.439
a large dumpster. Video shows Sanchez throwing the sixty nine

66
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.319
year old toward the dumpster. The two fought between the

67
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.480
truck and the wall. This is a professional athlete in

68
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.160
his thirties throwing a senior citizen around because of a

69
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.959
parking dispute. The worker pulled out pepper spray and sprayed

70
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.560
Sanchez directly in the face. Sanchez kept advancing, didn't even

71
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.399
slow down. The worker told detectives he thought this guy

72
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.959
is trying to kill me, so he pulled a knife

73
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.800
from his truck and stabbed Sanchez multiple times in the

74
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.959
upper Torso. Police arrived to find Sanchez with multiple stab

75
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.439
wounds to his chest bleeding in the alley. The sixty

76
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.839
nine year old had a laceration on his face from

77
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.000
where Sanchez had struck him. There was a trail of

78
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.800
blood running through the alley past Pronte Pizza, where employees

79
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:03.079
would later tell reporters they couldn't believe what happened. Sanchez

80
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.720
was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. He needed surgery.

81
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.639
The stab wounds to his chest were serious enough that

82
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.560
he could have died, all because he decided a drunk

83
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.839
argument over a parking space was worth fighting a senior citizen.

84
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.480
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department arrested Sanchez at the hospital,

85
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:25.279
initially charged with three misdemeanors, battery with injury, unlawful entry

86
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.160
of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication, but on Monday,

87
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.639
the Marion County Prosecutor's Office upgraded the charges. Sanchez now

88
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:37.439
faces a felony charge of battery resulting in serious bodily injury.

89
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.759
The charge was upgraded as the severity of the victim's

90
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.959
injuries became clearer. The sixty nine year old wasn't just bruised.

91
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.360
He was seriously injured by a professional athlete who threw

92
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:52.160
him around like a rag doll. Marion County Prosecutor Ryan

93
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:56.720
Mears held a press conference Monday morning. His statement was devastating.

94
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.959
This was a situation that did not need to occur.

95
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.160
We are literally talking about people fighting over a parking space.

96
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.800
A parking space. Mark Sanchez, who earned millions of dollars

97
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.000
playing in the NFL, who now earns a comfortable living

98
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.360
calling football games, got drunk and nearly got himself killed

99
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.720
fighting a sixty nine year old working man over a

100
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:22.279
parking space. Meares continued, this incident should never have happened.

101
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.920
What began as a disagreement between a thirty eight year

102
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.079
old former professional athlete and a sixty nine year old

103
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.279
man should not have escalated into violence or left anyone

104
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.560
seriously injured. Should not have escalated, But it did escalate

105
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:41.399
because Mark Sanchez was drunk, aggressive, and apparently thought climbing

106
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.360
into someone else's truck and throwing them toward a dumpster

107
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.600
was an appropriate response to a parking disagreement. Sources told

108
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.839
Fox fifty nine that Sanchez was not cooperative with responding

109
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.360
police officers, even after being stabbed multiple times, even while

110
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.480
bleeding in an alley, he was still being difficult with cops.

111
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.839
That's how drunk and how stupid. This entire situation was.

112
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.959
The surveillance video that detectives reviewed closely matches the victim's

113
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.319
account of self defense. The sixty nine year old tried

114
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.279
to de escalate, used pepper spray first, only pulled the

115
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.720
knife when Sanchez kept coming, and he genuinely feared for

116
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.560
his life. This wasn't mutual combat. This wasn't a bar

117
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.879
fight between two drunk guys. This was a professional athlete

118
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.879
attacking a senior citizen doing his job, and the senior

119
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:33.040
citizen defending himself with whatever weapons he had available. Sanchez

120
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.480
faces up to five years in prison if convicted of

121
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.199
the felony battery charge, five years for fighting over a

122
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.360
parking space for doing wind sprints in an alley before

123
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.040
attacking a man old enough to be his father. He

124
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.240
had an initial hearing scheduled for Tuesday morning today. We

125
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.199
don't know yet what his plea will be. His lawyers

126
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:56.839
haven't commented publicly beyond asking for privacy. Fox Sports released

127
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.720
a statement Saturday saying they're still trying to wrap our

128
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.519
heads around what happened. We're all trying to wrap our

129
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.519
heads around how a successful NFL analyst threw away his

130
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.160
career and his freedom fighting a sixty nine year old

131
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.360
oil collector. At twelve thirty in the morning, Brady Quinn

132
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.879
replaced Sanchez for Sunday's Colts Raiders broadcast. Quinn probably didn't

133
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.600
expect to get the call because his colleague was hospitalized

134
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.680
with stab wounds from a parking dispute. That's not how

135
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.959
broadcast careers usually advance. Mark Sanchez married his wife, Perry

136
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.879
in twenty twenty three. During his playing days, he dated

137
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.360
some of the most famous women in Hollywood, Eva Longoria,

138
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.720
Jamie Lynn Sigler, Kate Upton. He was one of the

139
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.240
biggest stars in football, on and off the field. Now

140
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.759
he's a cautionary tale about what happens when alcohol, ego,

141
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:48.679
and terrible judgment collide in a downtown Indianapolis alley. The victim,

142
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.360
the sixty nine year old man whose name hasn't been

143
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:56.519
publicly released, was just doing his job collecting used cooking oil,

144
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.720
working the overnight shift, not bothering anyone, and he ended

145
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.480
up having to stab a drunk celebrity in self defense

146
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.960
because Mark Sanchez decided his parking space was worth dying for.

147
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.200
That man is seriously injured. He has facial lacerations. He

148
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.240
probably has nightmares about being thrown toward a dumpster by

149
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.840
a professional athlete. He had to use a knife to

150
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.200
save his own life because pepper spray didn't stop a

151
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.120
drunk NFL quarterback who wouldn't take no for an answer.

152
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.399
Mark Sanchez could have been in bed Saturday morning, preparing

153
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:28.120
to call a football game. Instead, he was drunk in

154
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.240
an alley doing wind sprints, recording videos on his phone,

155
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.279
fighting a senior citizen, getting stabbed, and throwing away everything

156
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.200
he'd built since retiring from football, all over a parking space,

157
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.639
all because he was too drunk and too stupid to

158
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.200
walk away, All because he thought climbing into someone else's

159
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.120
truck and throwing them around was an appropriate response to

160
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.799
a minor disagreement. The prosecutor is right, this didn't need

161
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.320
to happen. But it did happen because Mark Sanchez made

162
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.679
every wrong decision possible in a three minute span, and

163
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.440
now he's facing five years in prison for being the

164
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.960
aggressor in a fight he should never have started. Smart

165
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.840
enough to play quarterback at USC and in the NFL,

166
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.399
too stupid to walk away from a parking dispute that's

167
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:29.080
Mark Sanchez's legacy now more. In a moment, the Supreme

168
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.799
Court denied Gallaine Maxwell's appeal Monday, meaning she'll spend the

169
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.720
next eighteen years of her life in federal prison for

170
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:40.840
recruiting teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse. Maxwell is

171
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:44.159
sixty three years old. She was sentenced to twenty years

172
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.960
in federal prison in twenty twenty two for carrying out

173
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.919
a year's long scheme with Epstein to groom and sexually

174
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.159
abuse underage girls. She's been fighting that conviction ever since,

175
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.240
and Monday was her last chance. Her argument was creative.

176
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.519
I'll give her that claim. She should have been protected

177
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.879
by a non prosecution agreement that Jeffrey Epstein signed with

178
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:09.600
federal prosecutors in Florida. Epstein pleaded guilty to state prostitution

179
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.399
charges in Florida in two thousand and eight as part

180
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.679
of a sweetheart deal that let him avoid serious federal charges.

181
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.919
Maxwell argued that agreement covered her too, that because she

182
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.759
was Epstein's girlfriend and partner in crime when he made

183
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.879
that deal, she couldn't be prosecuted later in New York

184
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.039
for the same conduct. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals

185
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:32.399
rejected this argument. They ruled that the Florida agreement with

186
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.519
prosecutors didn't bind authorities in New York. That seems obvious

187
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:39.799
a deal with one US Attorney's office doesn't immunize you

188
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.360
from prosecution by every other US Attorney's office in the country.

189
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.960
But Maxwell's lawyer, David Oscar Marcus, tried to argue that

190
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.120
non prosecution agreements with the United States should be nationally binding,

191
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.159
that once any federal prosecutor promises not to prosecute you,

192
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.519
every federal prosecutor has to honor that promise. The Supreme

193
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:04.159
Court wasn't interested. They declined to hear the appeal without comment,

194
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:09.200
no explanation, no dissent, just a denial, which means the

195
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:14.120
Second Circuit's ruling stands, which means Maxwell's conviction stands, which

196
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.440
means she's staying in federal prison. We are, of course,

197
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.759
deeply disappointed that the Supreme Court declined to hear Galaine

198
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.720
Maxwell's case, Marcus said after the denial. But this fight

199
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:29.399
isn't over. Serious legal and factual issues remain and we

200
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.399
will continue to pursue every avenue available to ensure that

201
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:38.000
justice is done. Justice is done. That's what Marcus is

202
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.279
calling Maxwell's continued imprisonment, as if the woman who recruited

203
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.320
teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein deserves justice, as if spending

204
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.320
twenty years in prison for facilitating the sexual abuse of

205
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:54.440
miners is somehow unfair. The Trump Justice Department defended Maxwell's

206
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.440
conviction at the Supreme Court. They told the court in

207
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.639
a brief filed over the summer, Max Hiwell was not

208
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.080
a party to the relevant agreement. Only Epstein and the

209
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:09.000
Florida USAO were parties. That's the obvious answer. Maxwell wasn't

210
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.279
part of Epstein's Florida deal. She wasn't even charged. Then,

211
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.200
she couldn't have been covered by an agreement she wasn't

212
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.960
party to for conduct prosecutors hadn't yet investigated in a

213
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.399
jurisdiction that didn't even know she existed. But here's the

214
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:27.120
interesting part. The Trump administration interviewed Maxwell this summer. The

215
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.480
Justice Department met with her while she was in federal custody.

216
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.200
She told them she never witnessed anything untoward in Donald

217
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.360
Trump's friendship with Epstein and never heard of any allegations

218
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:42.480
that Trump acted inappropriately. Convenient timing. Maxwell gives DOJ an

219
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.360
interview clearing Trump of any Epstein connection, then gets transferred

220
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.799
to a minimum security prison camp shortly after she went

221
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.039
from a regular federal prison to a camp, the cushiest

222
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.720
form of federal custody, right after telling prosecutors what they

223
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.639
wanted to hear about Trump. Correlation isn't causation, but it's

224
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.639
an interesting sequence of events. Maxwell protects Trump, then gets

225
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:09.200
better prison accommodations. Maybe unrelated, maybe not. The House Oversight

226
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.639
Committee released tens of thousands of pages of Epstein documents

227
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.639
last month, including a note bearing Trump's name that was

228
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:18.159
part of a collection of letters gifted to Epstein for

229
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.000
his fiftieth birthday. Trump has repeatedly denied writing that letter.

230
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:27.120
The connection between Trump and Epstein remains murky, documented but disputed,

231
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:31.159
but none of that matters for Maxwell's conviction. Whatever Trump's

232
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:36.679
relationship with Epstein was or wasn't, Glaine still recruited teenage girls.

233
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.600
Glane still facilitated their abuse. Glaine still deserves every year

234
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.879
of that twenty year sentence. Epstein died by suicide in

235
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.720
federal custody in August twenty nineteen, a month after being

236
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.519
indicted on federal sex trafficking charges. He escaped justice by

237
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:57.000
hanging himself. Glaine doesn't get that option. She's alive, convicted,

238
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.679
and spending the next eighteen years watching life pass by

239
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.279
from inside a federal prison camp. She's sixty three. She'll

240
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:06.639
be eighty three when she's released. Assuming she lives that long,

241
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.639
most of her remaining life will be spent behind bars.

242
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:13.320
That's what happens when you spend decades facilitating the sexual

243
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:17.120
abuse of children for a billionaire pedophile. The Supreme Court

244
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.440
denial means no more appeals on this issue. Glaine can

245
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.480
still try other legal arguments, and her lawyer promises to

246
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.320
pursue every avenue available, but the big one, the argument

247
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:31.799
that Epstein's Florida deal protected her, is dead. Glaine Maxwell

248
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.360
will die in federal prison. Not officially, her sentence has

249
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.320
an end date, but realistically she's sixty three with eighteen

250
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.559
years to serve. The odds of her surviving to freedom

251
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:46.919
are not good, and honestly, that's fine. The girls she

252
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:51.240
recruited for Epstein carry their trauma forever. Glaine can carry

253
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:55.440
her imprisonment for however long she has left. That's not injustice,

254
00:15:55.919 --> 00:16:05.279
that's consequences that celebrity trials for Tuesday, October seventh, twenty

255
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:08.679
twenty five, Mark Sanchez fought a sixty nine year old

256
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.840
oil collector over a parking space, did wind sprints in

257
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.159
an alley like he was warming up for the NFL

258
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.200
through a senior citizen toward a dumpster, ignored pepper spray,

259
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.440
and got stabbed multiple times. Now he's facing five years

260
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.840
in prison for being too drunk and too stupid to

261
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:29.440
walk away. Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Meres called it exactly

262
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.399
what it was, a fight over a parking space that

263
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.639
should never have happened, but it did happen because Mark

264
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:41.080
Sanchez had money, fame, success, and apparently zero common sense.

265
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:46.039
Gallaine Maxwell's Supreme Court appeal was denied without comment. She

266
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:50.279
argued that Jeffrey Epstein's Florida Sweetheart deal should protect her

267
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:54.200
from prosecution in New York. The Second Circuit said no.

268
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:58.440
The Supreme Court agreed without even explaining why. She'll spend

269
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.200
the next eighteen years in federal prison for recruiting teenage girls.

270
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:07.000
Her lawyer promises to keep fighting nobody cares. She facilitated

271
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.359
child abuse for decades. She can die in prison. I'm

272
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.839
read Carter. Tuesday proved that celebrity stupidity leads to the

273
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:20.640
same place as sex trafficking. Prison. Sanchez threw away everything

274
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:24.319
fighting over a parking space. Maxwell threw away her freedom

275
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:30.160
facilitating Epstein's abuse. Both made choices. Both face consequences. The

276
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.200
difference Sanchez might get out in five years if convicted,

277
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.119
Maxwell has eighteen years minimum. One fought a senior citizen.

278
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:43.160
One trafficked children. The law treats them appropriately differently. Tomorrow

279
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.759
will cover two cases of mentally unstable defendants who murdered children.

280
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:50.680
Today with celebrities and sex traffickers, this week is covering

281
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:54.160
the full spectrum of American criminal justice, from stupid to evil.

282
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.480
See you tomorrow. Lock your doors, don't fight over parking spaces,

283
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:02.440
and definitely don't recruit teenage girls for billionaire pedophiles.
