"MEGAN BOSWELL'S BABY KILLER SENTENCING, TRUMP SHOOTER GOES SOLO & KISS AND KILL TRIAL HEATS UP"

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm read Carter Tuesday, September ninth, twenty twenty five. Today on Celebrity Trials, Remember Megan Boswell, the Tennessee mother who killed her baby and then led police on a two week wild goose chase while little Evelyn rotted in a shed. She's already serving life for murder, but last Friday, a judge said that's not enough and slapped on another thirty three years consecutive, because sometimes one life sentence doesn't capture the evil. The man who tried to assassinate Donald Trump at his golf course has decided to represent himself, because when you're facing federal charges for attempting to kill a former president, who needs a lawyer.

0:49 And the kiss and Kill trial continues in Wisconsin, where writing down your murder plan before committing murder remains a terrible idea. Three defendants, three different flavors of narcissism, all convinced they're smarter than everyone else. This is Celebrity Trials. Let's start with a case that makes my blood boil every time I think about it. Megan Boswell, the Tennessee mother who killed her fifteen month old daughter, Evelyn and then led the nation on a two week search for a baby she knew was decomposing in a shed. She was convicted back in February of nineteen charges and got life with parole eligibility after fifty one years. But apparently that wasn't enough, because last Friday, September fifth, the judge decided to pile on more time, an additional thirty three years consecutive to the life sentence. Let me break down this sentencing math because it's actually beautiful in its complexity.

1:45 Twenty five years for aggravated child neglect consecutive to life, six years for tampering with evidence, four years for false reporting, two years for abuse of a corpse. The way they stack and run concurrent and consecutive is complicated. But here's what matters. Megan Boswell was already going to be seventy two before she was eligible for parole. Now, at another thirty three years, she'll be one hundred five if she ever sees freedom, she'll die in prison. Good. But let me remind you what this monster did, because even though she was convicted in February, the additional sentencing shows the court's continuing disgust with her actions. December twenty nineteen, baby Evelyn Boswell disappears, but Megan doesn't report her missing, not for two months. Two months. It's only when Evelyn's grandmother, Angela Boswell reports concerns in February twenty twenty that anyone starts looking for this baby. When questioned, Megan had a story, multiple stories. Actually, she's a creative fiction writer when it comes to dead babies. Story number one, Evelyn was with her father, Ethan Perry in Louisiana. Police check. Ethan hasn't seen Evelyn since May. Story number two. Actually, Evelyn was with a babysitter named Angel, whom Megan can't locate because Angel doesn't exist. Story number three, her mother Angela took Evelyn to a campground in Virginia. Angela was in jail at the time. Story number four, she gave Evelyn to

3:19 strangers in a silver camper. Can't remember where, or when or who. For two weeks, while Tennessee mobilized massive searches, while the FBI got involved, while the entire nation looked for baby Evelyn, Megan Boswell went on TV crying fake tears. She did interviews begging for Evelyn's return. Posted on Facebook about missing her baby, shared the missing posters, all while knowing exactly where Evelyn was in a shed on family property, dead, wrapped in a blanket, decomposing. March sixth, twenty twenty, acting on a tip, police searched the property belonging to Meghan's fan Emily. In a shed, they find Evelyn's remains. She'd been dead since at least December, possibly longer. The autopsy showed the cause of death was homicidal violence. The exact method couldn't be determined due to decomposition, but the medical examiner found evidence of blunt force trauma. This baby was beaten to death by her mother, then stuffed in a shed like garbage. But here's what makes this even worse, and yes, it gets worse. During those two weeks of searches, Megan was actively misleading investigators. She'd send them to locations she knew Evelyn wouldn't be, She'd give false tips. She was enjoying the attention. She posted on social media about being a grieving mother, changed her profile picture to Evelyn, shared Bible verses about God's plan, all performance, all lies.

4:51 At trial in February, the evidence was overwhelming Megan's car had cadaver dog hits her phone pinged at the shed location multiple times in December, She'd googled how long before a baby's body decomposes? And can you track a phone that's off. Her defense, she claimed Evelyn died accidentally and she panicked that she didn't report it because she was scared. Scared. She wasn't scared, she was calculating. She hid that baby's body and then played grieving mother for the cameras. The jury convicted her on all nineteen counts life for felony murder, but that was just the beginning. At Friday's sentencing hearing for the additional charges, Judge James Goodwin made it clear why he was stacking time. The life sentence was for murder.

5:40 These additional sentences are for what you did after, for the torture you put this community through, for the lies, for the performance, for treating your daughter's corpse like trash. The prosecutor, Dan Armstrong argued for maximum consecutive time. She didn't just kill Evelyn once, she killed her, hid her, and then killed the hope of everyone searching for her. That deserves every possible day in prison. Megan's attorney tried to argue the sentences should run concurrently, that life in prison was enough. The judge's response, nothing will ever be enough for what she did to that baby and to this community. Judge Goodwin didn't hold back. Miss Boswell, you are perhaps the most selfish person I've encountered in thirty years on the bench. You killed your child and then made her death about you. You enjoyed the attention, You feed off the sympathy. You are a narcissist of the highest order. Megan cried during the sentencing, real tears, this time not for Evelyn, for herself, because she realized she's never getting out. She tried to speak, saying I loved Evelyn more than anything. Judge Goodwin cut her off. You loved yourself more than anything. Evelyn was an inconvenience to your life lifestyle. These additional thirty three years are for the additional torture you inflicted on everyone who searched for a baby you knew was dead. So now Megan Boswell faces life plus thirty three years. The extra time is symbolic.

7:14 She'll die in prison either way, but it sends a message. Every crime counts, every lie matters, Every day that baby rotted while people search deserves punishment. Evelyn Boswell was fifteen months old. She was just learning to talk. Her favorite word was mama, the last word she probably said before that same mama killed her. Tennessee searched for two weeks for a baby who was already dead, hundreds of volunteers, thousands of hours, millions of dollars, all while Meghan Boswell knew exactly where her daughter was decomposing life plus thirty three years, she'll be over one hundred before she's eligible for parole. She'll die in a cell. Still not enough for what she did, but it'll have to do. The judge's final words, Every one of these consecutive years represents the continuing harm you caused after you murdered your child.

8:12 You turned a tragedy into a performance. You turned grief into entertainment. You turned your daughter's death into your spotlight moment. These thirty three years are for that good. Let her rot in prison like she let Evelyn rot in that shed. Now to Florida, where Ryan Wesley Ruth has decided that attempting to assassinate a president is the kind of charge you should handle yourself. Yesterday Ruth informed the court he'll be representing himself in his federal case for trying to kill Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club because nothing says stable decision making like firing your lawyers when facing life in prison. Let's remind everyone what this genius did.

8:58 September fifteenth, twenty twenty four. Trump is golfing at his West Palm Beach course. Secret Service agents are sweeping ahead of him when they spot a rifle barrel sticking through the fence, and not just any rifle, an AK forty seven style weapon with a scope. Behind that rifle, Ryan Wesley Routh fifty eight, who'd been hiding in the bushes for twelve hours twelve hours in Florida heat and mosquitoes, waiting to shoot a president. Secret Service opened fire. Routh Ran leaving behind the rifle with obliterated serial number two, backpacks with ceramic tiles, makeshift body armor, a go pro camera he was going to film it, a handwritten note that said this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, a handwritten confession at the scene, like he was leaving a YELP review for his own crime. He was caught on I ninety five in a black Nissan license plate readers doing what license plate readers do. When arrested, he was calm, almost proud. Now this criminal mastermind wants to represent himself. The federal public defenders tried to talk him out of it. The judge warned him repeatedly, but Routh insists, you know who else represented themselves, Ted Bundy, Colin Ferguson, Darryl Brooks. How'd that work out for them? Here's what Roath is facing. Attempted assassination of a president, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, possession of a firearm with obliterated serial number, assaulting federal officers.

10:32 That's life, multiple life sentences, and he wants to argue this himself. His previous lawyer, Christy Milatello, tried to suggest mental health evaluations. Routh refused, said he's perfectly competent. The man who hidden Bush's for twelve hours to shoot Trump thinks he's competent. But here's the really scary part. Routh has a history of this. In two thousand and two, he barricaded himself with a machine gun in North Carolina. In twenty nineteen, he was sending threatening letters to world leaders. He has a book, self published, of course, about how to fix the world through violence. This isn't mental illness, this is narcissism. He thinks he's a revolutionary, a hero, the man who would save America by killing Trump. The judge Aileen Cannon, yes, the same judge who handled Trump's classified documents case, has reluctantly agreed to let Ruth represent himself.

11:27 She appointed standby council, but Ruth's in charge of his own defense. His first filing as his own attorney a motion claiming the Secret Service entrapped him, that by existing and doing their job, they somehow forced him to bring a rifle to a golf course entrapment for an assassination attempt that he confessed to in writing at the scene. The trial is set for February. Routh plans to call Trump as a witness. Think about that circus, the defendant who tried to kill Trump, questioning Trump on the stand. The prosecution has the rifle, the note confessing to assassination. Go pro footage of Ruth setting up cell phone data showing twelve hours at the scene, multiple witnesses, his confession note.

12:13 Ruth's defense he'll probably claim he was protecting America, that Trump is a threat, that assassination is patriotism. It won't work, but we'll all have to watch this narcissist perform his revolutionary theater while the family of what could have been victims sit in court. Ryan Ruth thought he could kill a president. Now he thinks he can be a lawyer. He's wrong on both counts, but we all have to endure his delusions. We'll be right back with updates from the Kiss and Kill trial, where the defendant's own handwriting is the prosecution's best friend. The Kiss and Kill trial continued yesterday in Kenosha and Folks, Samantha Krebs is learning that murder plans shouldn't be written in your own handwriting.

13:09 We covered jury selection last week, but now we're into testimony and it's devastating for the defense. Detective Sarah Morrison took the stand yesterday and read Krebs's handwritten notes aloud to the jury. Let me remind you what these notes said. Kiss him first, so he lets his guard down. Knife in kitchen drawer, second from left, stab upward under ribs for heart, Call nine one one after ten minutes, so he can't be saved. Tell them he attacked me first. The detective read this in a monotone voice, no emotion, just facts. The jury was riveted. Several were taking notes of the notes. Then the prosecutor, Jennifer Walsh introduced the nine to one to one call. Remember Krebs's notes said to wait ten minutes. The call came exactly ten minutes and thirty four seconds after. Neighbors reported hearing screams on the call. Krebs is hysterical. My boyfriend attacked me. I defended myself. There's blood everywhere. Please help. But here's the problem.

14:08 The medical examiner testified that Marcus Chen had been dead for at least ten minutes when paramedics arrived. The wounds were all in his back. Defensive wounds on his hands showed he was trying to protect himself, not attack. The defense attorney, Michael Torres, tried to claim the notes were fantasy, writing that Krebs wrote dark fiction as a coping mechanism for abuse. But Prosecutor Walsh had a response. She introduced Krebs's journal, dozens of entries about Chen, not about abuse, about insurance money, about being free, about starting over one entry dated a week before the murder. Soon, I'll be free and rich. Just need the courage to follow through.

14:52 That's not fiction, that's planning. The most damaging testimony came from Chen's best friend, David Park. He testified that Chen was planning to break up with Krebs, had already started moving his things out, had opened a new bank account she didn't know about. But here's the kicker. Chen had told Park he was scared of Krebs, said she'd threatened him before, said she'd held a knife to his throat during an argument months earlier. Park asked why he didn't call police. Chen said no one would believe a man was being abused by a woman. He was right, and now he's dead. The defense tried to paint Chen as abusive, but they have no evidence, no police reports, no medical records, no witnesses, just Krebs's word against a dead man who can't defend himself. Meanwhile, the prosecution has written murder plans in her handwriting journal entries about insurance money. The nine one one call timed exactly as planned, All wounds in the victim's back life insurance policy with Krebs as beneficiary.

15:57 The defense's star witness is supposed to be Kreb's herself. She's expected to testify tomorrow. Claim battered woman syndrome, cry about abuse that was never reported. But how do you explain writing call nine one one after ten minutes so he can't be saved. That's not self defense, that's ensuring death. The jury seems engaged but disturbed. One juror was seen shaking her head when the notes were read. Another covered his mouth during the nine to one one call. These aren't good signs for the defense. My prediction guilty of first degree intentional homicide. The notes are too damning, the planning too obvious, the insurance motive too clear. Samantha Krebs thought she was writing a perfect murder plan. Instead, she wrote her own conviction. Marcus Chen was thirty one, software engineer, loved hiking, was learning to play guitar, was trying to leave an abusive relationship but didn't get out in time.

16:57 He died because he was too nice to call the police on his girlfriend, because he thought he could handle it, because society doesn't believe men can be abuse victims. Now, Crebs will claim she was the real victim while her murder plan in her handwriting says otherwise. That's celebrity trials for Tuesday, September ninth. Three cases of narcissists who think they're smarter than everyone else. Megan Boswell thought she could play grieving mother while her baby rotted. Ryan Ruth thinks he can defend himself against federal assassination charges. Samantha Krebs thought writing down murder plans was a good idea. They're all wrong, they're all going to prison, but their victims are still dead. Tomorrow we'll have more updates from ongoing trials.

17:46 The creb's testimony should be explosive, plus whatever fresh horror emerges from America's courtrooms overnight. I'm read Carter. Remember, if you're going to kill your baby, don't go on TV crying about her being missing. If you're going to try to assassinate someone, maybe don't leave a confession note at the scene. And if you're planning murder, don't write it down. Actually, here's better advice. Don't kill people. See you tomorrow,
