00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.039
Callarogu Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Read Carter, and welcome
2
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:15.000
to Celebrity Trials on this Thursday, July thirty first. Today,
3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.399
we're bringing you updates on several major cases where defendants
4
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.280
and convicted criminals are trying to leverage their way to
5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:26.120
freedom through immunity deals, million dollar bonds, and courtroom testimony.
6
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.719
From Galaine Maxwell's calculated offer to spill Epstein's secrets in
7
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:34.479
exchange for immunity to Sean diddy Comb's arguing he shouldn't
8
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.799
be in jail for hiring mail escorts, these stories show
9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:43.079
how the powerful try to negotiate their way out of consequences. Meanwhile,
10
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.759
juries are deliberating in three major trials James Craig's protein
11
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.799
shake poisoning case in Colorado, the Washington Honor killing trial,
12
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.159
and Billy Delgado's shocking testimony about shooting his ex wife
13
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.600
five times in Texas. Each case reveals different aspects of
14
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.159
how justice works when defendants finally face the consequences of
15
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:08.400
their actions. These stories connect around a central theme, the
16
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.799
difference between having money and power versus actually being accountable
17
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.280
for your crimes. Let's start with the most brazen attempt
18
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.560
to avoid consequences. Our top story comes from federal prison
19
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.879
in Florida, where Gallaine Maxwell has made Congress an offer
20
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.680
there already refusing testify about Jeffrey Epstein in exchange for immunity,
21
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.120
advance questions and a laundry list of other demands that
22
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.959
would make a Hollywood diva blush Jeffrey Epstein accomplice. Gallaine
23
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.280
Maxwell has offered to testify before Congress, but with major conditions,
24
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.760
including immunity. According to a list of her demands sent
25
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.760
to the House Oversight Committee by her attorneys, House Oversite
26
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.599
Chair James Comer subpoened Maxwell to testify next month, and
27
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.680
Maxwell's response reveals just how calculated and manipulative she remains
28
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.480
even from behind bars. In a letter to Representative James
29
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.799
Comber Tuesday, Maxwell's attorneys said they initially decided to invoke
30
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.199
her Fifth Amendment rights, but then offered to cooperate with
31
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.719
Congress if a fair and safe path forward can be established.
32
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.800
Think about that language. Maxwell, who was convicted of sex
33
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.719
trafficking children, wants Congress to establish a fair and safe
34
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:25.639
path for her testimony. Here are Maxwell's demands laid out
35
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.159
by her attorneys. Like She's negotiating a business deal rather
36
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.039
than facing accountability for trafficking miners a grant of formal immunity.
37
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.639
The interview can't happen at the correctional facility where she's
38
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.199
serving her sentence. To prepare adequately for any congressional deposition
39
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.639
and to ensure accuracy and fairness, we would require the
40
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.159
committee's questions in advance. Surprise questioning would be both inappropriate
41
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.240
and unproductive. The interview would be scheduled only after the
42
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.800
resolution of her Supreme Court petition and her forthcoming habeas petition.
43
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.759
Break down what Maxwell is really asking for here. She
44
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.280
wants immunity from prosecution for anything she might reveal about
45
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.800
Epstein's operation. She wants to be brought to Washington for
46
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.560
her testimony, essentially a taxpayer funded vacation from federal prison.
47
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.719
She wants all the questions in advance so she can
48
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.000
craft her answers and control the narrative. And she wants
49
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.319
to delay everything until her appeals are resolved, which could
50
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.280
take months or years. This isn't cooperation. This is extortion
51
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.439
with a legal veneer. Maxwell is essentially saying, I have
52
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.400
information you want about one of the biggest sex trafficking
53
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.759
scandals in American history. But I'm only going to share
54
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.319
it if you give me everything I want and promise
55
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.879
not to prosecute me for anything new I reveal. An
56
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.719
Oversight Committee spokeswoman on Tuesday rejected the idea of giving
57
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.240
Maxwell immunity. The Oversight Committee will respond to Miss Maxwell's
58
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.159
attorney soon, but it will not consider granting congressional immunity
59
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.919
for her testimony. The spokeswoman said, I don't think there
60
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.719
are many Republicans that want to give immunity to someone
61
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.680
that may have been sex trafficking children, Comer told CNN
62
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:13.879
last week. But Maxwell's attorneys had one more card to play. Notably,
63
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.519
the letter ended with a final appeal to President Donald
64
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.639
Trump for clemency. Of course, in the alternative, if Miss
65
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.759
Maxwell were to receive clemency, she would be willing and
66
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.720
eager to testify openly and honestly in public before Congress
67
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.360
in Washington, d C. She welcomes the opportunity to share
68
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.959
the truth and to dispel the many misconceptions and misstatements
69
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.879
that have plagued this case from the beginning. Her attorney said,
70
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.800
this is Maxwell's real strategy. She's not actually trying to
71
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.680
cooperate with Congress. She's trying to pressure President Trump into
72
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.439
pardoning her by dangling the promise of revealing Epstein's secrets.
73
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:55.519
It's a calculated political play disguised as cooperation with justice.
74
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.720
Maxwell is currently appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court,
75
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.600
arguing that a two two thousand and seven non prosecution
76
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.920
agreement should have protected her from federal charges. Her attorneys said,
77
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.720
if the demands cannot be met, Maxwell will have no
78
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.519
choice but to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights. Here's what's
79
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.600
particularly galling about Maxwell's demands. She's the only person who
80
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.920
went to prison in connection with Epstein's trafficking operation. Epstein
81
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.600
died in jail before trial. None of his alleged victims
82
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.639
or co conspirators have been charged. Maxwell is serving twenty
83
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.639
years for sex trafficking, and she's trying to leverage that
84
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.720
unique position to negotiate her way to freedom. Top House
85
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.759
Oversight Democrat Representative Robert Garcia told CNN on Tuesday that
86
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.360
Maxwell is not going to set whatever terms that she wants.
87
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.120
We do not support giving her the questions ahead of time.
88
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.959
He said. This bipartisan rejection of Maxwell's demands shows just
89
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.000
how outrageous her requests really are. The Trump administration has
90
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.720
faced increased scrutiny over its handling of files related to Epstein,
91
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.240
who died in jail in twenty nineteen awaiting trial on
92
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.120
federal sex trafficking charges. Maxwell is seen as a potential
93
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.839
key source of information on the disgraced financier, but she's
94
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.319
clearly only willing to share that information if she can
95
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.959
control the process completely. Maxwell met privately with Deputy Attorney
96
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.120
General Todd Blanche last week for about nine hours over
97
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:26.920
two days. What they discussed remains classified, but the timing
98
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.519
of her congressional demands suggests those meetings didn't go the
99
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.720
way she hoped. From one federal prison in Florida to
100
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.879
another in Brooklyn, where Seawan ditty Combs is making his
101
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.519
own bid for freedom through a fifty million dollar bond
102
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.439
request that reveals just how differently celebrities think about justice.
103
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.720
Music mogul Sean Ditty Combs is asking a judge to
104
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.639
free him on a fifty million dollar bond while he
105
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.920
awaits sentencing in October, after a jury found him not
106
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.560
guilty of the most serious federal charges he faced earlier
107
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.519
this month. In a court filing two ZS, Combs's lawyer
108
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.120
argued that conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn
109
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.519
are dangerous, noting that others convicted of similar prostitution related
110
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:14.160
offenses were typically released before sentencing. Shawn Combs should not
111
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:18.040
be in jail for this conduct, Mark Agnafilo said, In fact,
112
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.839
he may be the only person currently in a United
113
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.120
States jail for being any sort of john, and certainly
114
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.040
the only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts
115
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.800
for him and his girlfriend. Let's unpack what Agnafilo is
116
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.519
arguing here. Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation
117
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.720
to engage in prostitution for flying people around the country,
118
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.800
including his girlfriends and male sex workers for sexual encounters.
119
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.319
His attorney is essentially arguing that rich people shouldn't go
120
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.199
to jail for paying for sex because regular johns don't
121
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:54.600
typically face federal prosecution. Combs, fifty five, faces up to
122
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.560
a decade in prison on the two convictions, though each
123
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.319
count carries a maximum ten year sentence. He was acquitted
124
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.120
of racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking charges that could have
125
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.720
put him in prison for life. Immediately after he was acquitted,
126
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.519
on July second, Agnafilo had asked that Combs be released
127
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.839
on bond, but Judge Aaron Subramanian denied it, saying Combs
128
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.120
at the time had not met the burden of showing
129
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.160
by clear and convincing evidence, a lack of danger to
130
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:27.399
any person or the community. Now, Agnifilo is making a
131
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.959
different argument. In court documents, Comb's lawyers noted that he
132
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.000
did not profit financially from engaging in transportation for prostitution.
133
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.480
In fact, he may be the only person currently in
134
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.080
a United States jail or being any sort of john
135
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.480
and certainly the only person in jail for hiring adult
136
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.600
male escorts for him and his girlfriend when he did
137
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.120
not even have sex with the escort himself. The motion
138
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:55.120
says this argument reveals the disconnect between how celebrities view
139
00:08:55.320 --> 00:09:00.000
justice and how justice actually works. Combs's lawyers are essentially
140
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.799
arguing that because he was paying for other people to
141
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.399
have sex rather than paying for sex himself, and because
142
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.919
he wasn't profiting from the arrangement, his crimes weren't serious
143
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.639
enough to warrant jail time. But the prosecution has insisted
144
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.440
that Combs remains a flight risk and a danger to
145
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.279
the community. The proposed bond would be secured by Comb's
146
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.240
Miami property, and his travel would be limited to parts
147
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.559
of Florida and New York for legal proceedings. Combs has
148
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.639
been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since
149
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:33.519
his arrest in September twenty twenty four. The lawyers added
150
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.919
that Diddy remains behind bars while all other parties involved,
151
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.519
including the sex workers, their agency, and state witnesses Jane
152
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:47.240
and Cassandra cassi Ventura, walk free as they should. This
153
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.240
argument shows how Combs's team is trying to frame his
154
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.759
prosecution as unfair because he's the only one facing consequences.
155
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.960
What's missing from Agnifilo's argument is any acknowledgment of the
156
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.639
pattern of behavior that led to Comb's conviction. This wasn't
157
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.840
just about hiring sex workers. It was about using private
158

jets and wealth to coordinate sexual encounters across state lines,
159
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.279
which is exactly what the Man Act was designed to prevent.
160
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.720
Combs is the latest celebrity inmate to be locked up
161
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:21.679
at MDC Brooklyn, joining a list that includes r Kelly, Galaine, Maxwell,
162
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:26.960
and cryptocurrency fraudster Sam Bankman. Freed. His bond request will
163
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.720
be decided in the coming days, but his argument that
164
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.679
rich Johns shouldn't be in jail reveals the entitlement that
165
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:37.679
probably contributed to his prosecution in the first place. Back
166
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:51.000
in a moment while Maxwell and Combs try to negotiate
167
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.039
their way out of federal prison. The James Craig poisoning
168
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.039
trial in Colorado has reached jury deliberations after two weeks
169
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:02.240
of devastating testimony of out a dentist who systematically murdered
170
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.440
his wife with poisoned protein shakes, and a Rapahoe County
171
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:10.440
jury began deliberations Tuesday afternoon in the murder trial of
172
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.320
James Craig, the Aurora dentist accused of poisoning his wife
173
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.320
Angelo with cyanide laced protein shakes while planning a new
174
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.320
life with his Texas mistress, Angela. Craig was innocent, prosecutor
175
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:27.440
Michael Morrow told jurors during Tuesday's closing arguments, describing how
176
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.519
Craig spent ten days systematically killing his wife. The ten
177
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.679
days of methodical poisoning showed both deliberation and intent to kill,
178
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:40.039
prosecutors argued. Craig faces six felony charges. In the March
179
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.679
twenty twenty three death of his wife, including first degree murder,
180
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:48.759
solicitation of tampering with physical evidence, solicitation of perjury, and
181
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:53.480
solicitation of first degree murder. The prosecution and defense rested Monday,
182
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.600
but Craig's attorneys did not present a defense, suggesting Angela
183
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.639
Craig played a role in her own death. The trial
184
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:04.039
revealed the horrifying details of how Craig used his medical
185
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:08.639
knowledge to torture his wife to death. Angela Craig, forty three,
186
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.600
died after repeated hospital visits with unexplained symptoms. Her husband
187
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.759
is accused of poisoning her with arsenic cyanide and tetrahydrosylene
188
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.919
over a ten day period in March twenty twenty three.
189
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.200
Timeline evidence showed Angela became ill after drinking smoothies made
190
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:31.320
by Craig beginning March sixth. Surveillance video captured Craig preparing
191
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.399
the fatal shakes in their kitchen. Internet searches on devices
192
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.279
seized at Craig's dental office revealed his research into murder methods,
193
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.879
including how many grams of pure arsenic will kill a
194
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:49.320
human and is arsenic detectable in autopsy Perhaps most damning
195
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.879
was testimony about Craig's affair with Texas dentist Karen Kin,
196
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.080
whom he met at a Las Vegas conference in February
197
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.080
twenty twenty three. Craig had texted Cain saying, the the
198
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.399
problem is that I might be completely in love with
199
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:07.279
you after three days and that's nuts. The two made
200
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.559
plans for Cain to visit Denver in March, with Cain
201
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.279
under the impression that Craig was going through a divorce.
202
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:18.000
Craig's own daughters testified against him, describing how their father
203
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.320
asked them to make it seem like their mother wanted
204
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:23.679
Craig to order the poisons that ultimately led to her death.
205
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.320
This testimony showed Craig was trying to frame Angela for
206
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.279
her own murder, even as she lay dying in the hospital.
207
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.399
While Craig was in jail awaiting trial, prosecutors say he
208
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:38.399
plotted to kill four people, including the lead detective investigating
209
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:41.720
his wife's death. Craig tried to convince a fellow inmate
210
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.000
to kill the detective for twenty thousand dollars, and allegedly
211
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.600
wrote letters trying to fabricate evidence that Angela was suicidal.
212
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:53.159
Craig's defense attorney suggested Angela may have taken her own life,
213
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.879
but the overwhelming evidence of premeditation and Craig's attempts to
214
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.960
cover up his crimes while in jail destroyed any sympathy
215
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.360
for the defendant. The jury is now deliberating whether this
216
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.240
calculated killer will spend the rest of his life in prison.
217
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.919
Our next update comes from Washington State, where the jury
218
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.279
continues deliberating in the honor killing trial of Issan and
219
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.600
Zara Ali, who are accused of attempting to murder their
220
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.840
seventeen year old daughter for refusing an arranged marriage. Jury
221
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.080
deliberations are underway in the trial of Isan Ali and
222
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.919
Zahara Ali, accused of attempting to kill their daughter, Fatima,
223
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.759
outside Timberline High School in October twenty twenty four. The
224
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.799
case has gripped the court room with its disturbing allegations
225
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.440
of parents who tried to strangle their own child for
226
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.360
dating a boy and refusing to travel to Iraq for
227
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:46.600
a forced marriage. Witnesses testified that Isan Ali punched his
228
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.639
daughter's boyfriend and then placed Fatima in a chokehold until
229
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:55.360
she lost consciousness. With multiple bystanders, describing how her lips
230
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:59.519
turned purple and her eyes were rolling back. The attack
231
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.200
was so violent that students and adults intervened, punching Issan
232
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.879
to try to free his daughter. Fatima herself testified against
233
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.679
her parents, describing how she ran away from home that
234
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.360
morning because she didn't want to travel to Iraq. Medical
235
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:17.879
testimony revealed the severe injuries from the strangulation attempt, including
236
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:21.399
air trapped outside her trachea and ongoing symptoms weeks later.
237
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.639
The defense argued that this was a family dispute that
238
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.399
got out of hand, but prosecutors maintained that you cannot
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.039

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:15.000
