00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.160
Caloroga Shark Media, Good morning, I'm read Carter. Tuesday, November eleventh,

2
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:19.760
twenty twenty five. Three major stories breaking this week. California.

3
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.760
Ashley Buzzard, mother of missing nine year old Melody Buzzard,

4
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.199
arrested Friday on false imprisonment charges not related to her

5
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:34.039
daughter's disappearance, but investigators revealed disturbing new details. Ashley wore

6
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.399
wigs during a cross country road trip with Melody in October,

7
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:43.079
changed wigs multiple times trying to avoid recognition. Also switched

8
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.439
license plates on the rental car California plate to New

9
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.880
York plate, then back again. Melody was last seen October ninth,

10
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.759
near the Utah Colorado border. She's been missing thirty two days.

11
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.000
Her mother won't cooperate, won't tell investigators where Melody is,

12
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.599
whether she's safe, whether she's alive. Ashley Buzzard is in

13
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.000
jail on one hundred thousand dollars bail, but not for

14
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.599
anything related to Melody, for preventing someone else from leaving

15
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:16.519
a location against their will, false imprisonment, separate victim, separate

16
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.239
crime while her daughter remains missing. Miami. Former NFL star

17
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:27.120
Antonio Brown arrested in Dubai charged with attempted murder shooting.

18
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.840
After a celebrity boxing event on May sixteenth, Brown allegedly

19
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.280
grabbed a handgun from a security staffer, fired two shots

20
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.040
at a man he'd fought with earlier. Bullet grazed the

21
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.519
victim's neck. Brown fled to Dubai, hid there for months.

22
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.200
US marshals finally caught him. Extradited to New Jersey, awaiting

23
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:50.879
transfer to Miami. Faces fifteen years if convicted Tennessee verdict.

24
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.680
In the Broke My Heart murder trial, LaTosha Daniels found

25
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.519
guilty of second degree murder. Killed pastor brodes Perry while

26
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.439
repeating you broke my heart as she shot him. Also

27
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.840
shot his wife Tabitha in the shoulder. Jury convicted on

28
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:10.439
lesser charges than prosecutors wanted second degree murder instead of

29
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.319
first degree reckless endangerment instead of attempted murder. Acquitted on

30
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:22.319
firearm charge. Sentencing December seventeenth. I'm reed, Carter. Today, a

31
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.000
mother arrested while her daughter remains missing, an NFL star

32
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.520
facing attempted murder, and a woman who killed her lover

33
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:38.599
because he broke her heart. This is celebrity trials. Last week,

34
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.120
we told you about Melody Buzzard, nine years old from

35
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:48.000
Vandenburg Village, California, near Lompoc, homeschooled, rarely seen outside her home.

36
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.520
School officials reported her missing October fourteenth, after prolonged absence

37
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.960
from check ins. Investigators learned Melody was last seen a

38
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.439
year earlier, A full year Nobody reported her missing. Teachers

39
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.000
checking on her, no neighbors seeing her, no family visits,

40
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.280
just a nine year old girl disappearing for twelve months

41
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:11.599
before anyone noticed. Then, school officials realized Melody hadn't checked

42
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:15.439
in for her independent study program. They called authorities. Santa

43
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.400
Barbara County Sheriff's Office started investigating, went to Melody's home

44
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.960
on Mars Avenue, spoke with her mother, Ashley Buzzard, forty

45
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.479
years old. Ashley was uncooperative, refused to provide information about

46
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.759
Melody's whereabouts, refused to say whether Melody was safe, just

47
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.560
said she had a right not to cooperate. Lawyered up immediately.

48
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.520
Investigators dug deeper learned Ashley and Melody went on a

49
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.280
road trip October seventh, rented a white twenty twenty four

50
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:47.680
Chevrolet Malibu from a local rental agency. Surveillance footage captured

51
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.039
them at the rental location, both wearing wigs. Melody, nine

52
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.479
years old, dressed in a hoodie pulled over her head,

53
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:58.280
wearing a wig darker and straighter than her natural curly

54
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:03.159
brown hair, disguise making her harder to identify. Ashley also

55
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.639
wearing a wig different color than her normal hair, also

56
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:12.159
disguising her appearance. Why why disguise a nine year old child?

57
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.439
Why disguise yourself when renting a car for a road

58
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.839
trip with your daughter? Investigators tracked the rental car over

59
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.199
the next three days October seventh through tenth. The car

60
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:31.680
traveled through five states California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Nebraska, then

61
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.079
back to California, seventeen hundred miles and three days cross

62
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.600
country road trip mother and daughter, But nobody knows why,

63
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.720
what was the purpose? Where were they going? What were

64
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.800
they doing? Surveillance footage from gas stations and rest stops

65
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.199
along the route shows something disturbing. Ashley changed wigs throughout

66
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:56.079
the trip multiple times, different colors, different styles, trying to

67
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.839
avoid recognition, trying to make sure nobody could identify her

68
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.079
from one state to the next. Investigators also discovered Ashley

69
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.199
switched license plates. The rental car had California plate nine

70
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.720
MNNG one zero one, but during the trip, Ashley removed

71
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:17.000
it put on a New York plate hCG nine six

72
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.920
seven seven, fake plate or stolen. Drove with the New

73
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.600
York plate for part of the journey, then switched back

74
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.839
to the California plate before returning the car. October tenth.

75
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.879
This is deliberate deception, consciousness of guilt, someone trying to

76
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:37.680
avoid detection, avoid being tracked, avoid being identified. Why would

77
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:39.720
a mother taking a road trip with her daughter need

78
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.480
to avoid detection? October ninth, last confirmed sighting of Melody

79
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.879
gas station near the Utah Colorado border she was with Ashley.

80
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.959
A gas station employee later told investigators they saw Ashley

81
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.920
with a person wearing a purple wig. Looked like an adult,

82
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.920
not a child. Could have been Melody, could have been

83
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:05.120
someone else unclear. October tenth, Ashley returned to Vandenburgh Village,

84
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.439
returned the rental car, the white Chevrolet Malibu, same car

85
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.240
she'd rented with Melody three days earlier, but Melody wasn't

86
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:18.079
with her nine year old missing mother returned alone four

87
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:23.480
days later. School officials reported Melody's absence, Sheriff's investigators began searching,

88
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.439
executed search warrants at Ashley's home, at a storage locker

89
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:32.160
she rented at the rental car. FBI joined the investigation,

90
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:37.720
treated Melody as endangered missing child. Investigators found no sign

91
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.639
of Melody, no indication where she is, whether she's alive,

92
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:47.480
whether she's safe, just gone vanished somewhere between Colorado Utah

93
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.759
border in California, or maybe earlier. Maybe Melody never made

94
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.360
it past the first day of the trip. Nobody knows.

95
00:06:54.920 --> 00:07:00.000
Ashley refused to cooperate, still refuses, won't answer questions, won't

96
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.759
tell investigators where Melody is, whether she left her somewhere,

97
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.439
whether something happened to her, just silence through her attorney,

98
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:14.600
no comment. Friday, November seventh, investigators arrested Ashley Buzzard. Law

99
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.639
enforcement vehicles surrounded her home. Body camera footage shows Ashley

100
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:22.199
being led out in handcuffs, booked into Santa Barbara County jail,

101
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.439
Bail set at one hundred thousand dollars. But the arrest

102
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.600
wasn't for Melody's disappearance, wasn't related to the missing childcase,

103
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:36.199
something else entirely. Detectives learned about a recent incident. Ashley

104
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.959
prevented a victim from leaving a location against their will.

105
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:46.079
False imprisonment felony charge. Different victim, not Melody, someone else.

106
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.120
Sheriff's office won't say who, won't release details, says it

107
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.000
would impede the ongoing missing person investigation. So Ashley sits

108
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.680
in jail on false imprisonment charges, but not for anything

109
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:05.399
related to her daughter. Melody remains missing day thirty two. Now,

110
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.720
nobody knows where she is, whether she's alive, whether she's

111
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:16.079
being held somewhere, whether she's dead. Melody's family is devastated.

112
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.319
Her half sister, Corina masa daughter of Melody's late father

113
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.680
from another relationship, told reporters she thought there would be

114
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:27.959
answers when she learned about Ashley's arrest. Thought maybe investigators

115
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:32.200
found something, maybe Ashley confessed, maybe Melody would be found,

116
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.960
But no, just an unrelated charge. Melody still missing. Corina

117
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.960
said Melody was rarely seen even among family. Their father

118
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.759
died when Melody was a baby. Ashley isolated her, homeschooled her,

119
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.519
kept her away from relatives. Nobody saw Melody regularly, nobody

120
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.759
could verify she was okay, and now she's gone. Melody's

121
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.799
grandmother told KUTV that Ashley is bipolar needs to be

122
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.919
in a hospital. Said, Ashley has mental health issues that

123
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.960
make her unpredictable, dangerous, that Melody shouldn't have been in

124
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.639
her care, but child services never intervened, never removed Melody,

125
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.039
never checked on her, and now it's too late. Santa

126
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.879
Barbara County Sheriff's Office is asking for public help. Anyone

127
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.559
who saw Melody during the October seventh to tenth road trip.

128
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:27.080
Anyone who has surveillance footage from gas stations, hotels, rest

129
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:31.440
stops along the route through California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Nebraska.

130
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.240
Anyone who remembers seeing a woman with different colored wigs

131
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.679
traveling with a child. Melody Buzzard nine years old, four

132
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:44.000
feet six inches tall, sixty pounds, brown, curly hair, though

133
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.440
she might be wearing a wig, brown eyes, last seen

134
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.080
October ninth, near Utah Colorado border. If you've seen her,

135
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:54.159
if you know where she is, if you have any information,

136
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.039
call Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office at eight zero five

137
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.519
six eight one four one five zero thirty two days missing.

138
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.720
Every day that passes reduces the chances she's alive. Every

139
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.759
day her mother stays silent is another day Melody could

140
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.960
be suffering, or dead or lost forever. Make it make sense.

141
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.639
Some people shouldn't be parents. Ashley Buzzard is one of them.

142
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.200
Melody Buzzard should be in school today, should be playing

143
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:26.840
with friends, should be learning, growing living. Instead, she's missing,

144
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.799
been missing for a month, and her mother won't help

145
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:34.000
find her. Someone has to say her name, Melody Buzzard.

146
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.440
We'll be right back with Antonio Brown's arrest in Dubai,

147
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.320
the attempted murder charge, and the shooting after a celebrity

148
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.200
boxing match that could send him to prison for fifteen years.

149
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.759
Antonio Brown thirty seven years old former NFL star wide

150
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:08.480
receiver twelve year career. Played for Pittsburgh Steelers, Oakland Raiders,

151
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:13.120
New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, seven Pro Bowls, four

152
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.960
first team All Pro selections. Led the league in receptions twice,

153
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.919
led in receiving yards twice, led in receiving touchdowns twice.

154
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.080
One of the best receivers of his generation, nine hundred

155
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.679
twenty eight career receptions, twelve thousand, two hundred ninety one

156
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:31.679
receiving yards eighty three touchdowns, Hall of Fame numbers. Should

157
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.240
be celebrated, should be remembered as one of the greats. Instead,

158
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.519
he's in jail, charged with attempted murder, facing fifteen years

159
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:44.799
in prison. Thursday, November sixth, US Marshalls arrested Antonio Brown

160
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.879
in Dubai, extradided him to Essex County, New Jersey, being

161
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.919
held pending transfer to Miami, where the charges originated. The

162
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.720
arrest stems from an incident May sixteenth, twenty twenty five,

163
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:02.039
six months ago, celebrity boxing event in Miami, influencer boxing,

164
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:08.600
YouTube stars TikTok personalities fighting for entertainment. Antonio Brown attended.

165
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:14.039
Was there as a spectator or participant? Reports unclear. After

166
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.879
the boxing match ended, Brown got into a fistfight with

167
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:21.360
another man, Zul Karnane quame Nantambu, thirty one years old

168
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:27.679
Miami resident. They argued, escalated, started fighting punches throne typical

169
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:31.679
bar brawl stuff. Security separated them, broke up the fight.

170
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.559
Brown walked away. Should have been the end of it,

171
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.240
go home, cool off, move on, but Brown didn't move on.

172
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.080
According to the arrest warrant, Brown approached a security staffer

173
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:47.679
grabbed the staffer's handgun, took it, then walked back toward Nantambu.

174
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:53.320
Raised the gun, fired twice, Bang bang, two shots at

175
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.519
close range in a crowded venue after a celebrity boxing event.

176
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:02.320
People everywhere could have hit anyone. One bullet grazed Nantambu's neck,

177
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:06.879
didn't penetrate, didn't kill him, but came close inches away

178
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.480
from severing his carotid artery, inches away from murder. The

179
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:14.440
second bullet missed, hit a wall or the ground. Nobody

180
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:18.159
else injured. Fortunate could have been a mass casualty event.

181
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:23.960
Brown fled left the scene, disappeared, went into hiding. Nobody

182
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.080
knew where. Arrest warrant issued, Miami police looking for him.

183
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:34.200
US Marshals involved federal fugitive hunt. Over the next six months,

184
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:38.399
Brown posted on social media from Dubai multiple times, photos,

185
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:43.279
videos showing himself in luxury hotels, on yachts, living lavishly

186
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.360
in the United Arab Emirates. No extradition treaty with the

187
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.200
United States, safe from American law enforcement, or so he thought,

188
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.720
but US marshals are persistent. They tracked him, worked with

189
00:13:54.759 --> 00:14:01.559
international partners, finally located him, arrested him, brought him back Thursday,

190
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.639
Brown was flown to Essex County, New Jersey, not Miami,

191
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:10.679
New Jersey. First unclear why, maybe logistical reasons, maybe legal proceedings.

192
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.039
Miami Police spokesman Mike Vega wouldn't explain, just said Brown

193
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.600
is being held pending extradition to Miami. Brown is charged

194
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.919
with second degree attempted murder felony carries maximum fifteen years

195
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.919
in prison up to ten thousand dollars fine if convicted.

196
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:31.559
His attorney, if he has won, hasn't commented. Brown hasn't

197
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.320
made a statement beyond social media posts. One post on

198
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:40.639
X handed over the keys to the socials and CTESPN

199
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.440

shot someone. This isn't Brown's first legal problem, not even close.

206
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.440
Long history of arrests and allegations. Accused of rape and

207
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.120
sexual assault by his former trainer civil lawsuit. Brown denied

208
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:24.159
the allegations. Case settled. Confidentially arrested in Florida for battery

209
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:27.519
of a moving truck driver. Brown allegedly threw rocks at

210
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:32.080
the driver during a dispute. Plead no contest probation. Multiple

211
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.360
domestic violence allegations over the years from different women. Brown

212
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:40.960
denied them, some cases dismissed, others settled. Pattern of violent

213
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.679
behavior toward women. Failure to pay child support multiple baby mamas,

214
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.679
multiple court orders. Brown ignored them. Eventually paid after court intervention,

215
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.559
walked off the field mid game Tampa Bay Buccaneers playing

216
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.159
New York Jets. Brown took off his jersey, threw his

217
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.679
gloves and shirt into the crowd, waived to fans, left

218
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.480
the stadium during the game. Never played in the NFL again.

219
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.039
Coach Bruce Arian said Brown was done, cut from the

220
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:13.480
team career over Brown claimed he was injured that Arians

221
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.639
forced him to play hurt. Arian said Brown quit abandoned

222
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:22.200
his team either way. Brown's NFL career ended in disgrace.

223
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.759
Now attempted murder charges. Allegedly grabbed a security guard's gun,

224
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.799
shot someone after a boxing match, fled to Dubai, hid

225
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:35.200
for six months, got arrested, facing fifteen years. Make it

226
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.840
make sense? A man with generational wealth, hall of fame, talent,

227
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:43.120
everything anyone could want, throws it away repeatedly, over and over,

228
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:48.080
legal problems, violence, terrible decisions, now attempted murder. Some people

229
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:53.759
can't help themselves, can't control their impulses, can't handle success.

230
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:58.519
Antonio Brown is one of them. He had everything, lost

231
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.200
it all, now sit. It's in a New Jersey jail,

232
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:05.599
awaiting extradition to Miami, where he'll face trial for attempted murder,

233
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.359
where a jury will decide if he's guilty of shooting

234
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:11.160
a man over a fistfight at a boxing event. Zulkar

235
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:16.000
Nain Quame Nantambu survived, bullet grazed his neck. He's lucky

236
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:19.839
to be alive, inches away from death. All because Antonio

237
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.440
Brown couldn't walk away from a fight, couldn't control his anger,

238
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.440
had to escalate, had to shoot your tax dollars at work.

239
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.880
US marshals flying to Dubai to arrest a former NFL

240
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.799
player who shot someone and fled the country, bringing him

241
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.920
back to face justice fifteen years maximum if convicted. Brown

242
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:51.039
deserves every day of it. Friday November seventh, Shelby County,

243
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:55.920
Tennessee verdict in state versus LaTosha Daniels. We covered this

244
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.680
trial last week that broke my heart. Murder case. LaTosha Daniels,

245
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.079
forty six years old, accused of killing Pastor Broodes Perry

246
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:08.400
and shooting his wife Tabitha at their Collierville apartment April fourth,

247
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:13.640
twenty nineteen. LaTosha drove from Arkansas to Tennessee with a

248
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.759
loaded nine millimeter Ruger handgun. Knocked on the Perry's door

249
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:24.240
around nine pm. Tabitha answered invited Lytosha inside. They'd known

250
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:28.400
each other from church in Little Rock, friends, or so,

251
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.640
Tabitha thought. They sat on the couch, chatted, caught up

252
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.160
about kids, tennis life. About forty minutes later, Brodes came home.

253
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.160
He was agitated, questioned why LaTosha was there, called her

254
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:47.240
an unexpected guest. Tense conversation, uncomfortable. Brodes kept pressing LaTosha

255
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.160
to leave. Finally, Lytosha said she'd go. The three walked

256
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:55.680
toward the door. Tabitha led LaTosha and Brodes followed. When

257
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.799
Tabitha reached the stairs, she turned around, nobody behind her.

258
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.519
She walked back saw LaTosha pull a gun from her jacket.

259
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:09.880
Bang bang bang. LaTosha fired multiple times at Brod's he collapsed.

260
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:13.440
Tabitha tried to shield her husband. LaTosha told her to move.

261
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.759
Tabitha refused. LaTosha shot her in the shoulder, kept firing.

262
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.319
Brodes shot multiple times in the head in torso. As

263
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:25.359
she shot, LaTosha repeated one phrase, you broke my heart,

264
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.000
over and over. You broke my heart. You broke my heart,

265
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:35.119
You broke my heart. Brodes died at the hospital multiple

266
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:39.559
gunshot wounds. Forty two years old, executive pastor at Mississippi

267
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:46.279
Boulevard Christian Church, husband, father dead. Tabitha survived bullet in

268
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:50.559
her shoulder, remained there for months before surgical removal. Still

269
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:56.599
experiences pain, permanent injury, permanent trauma. Police arrived as LaTosha

270
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.240
was reloading the gun, arrested her, charged with fur first

271
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.839
degree murder, attempted first degree murder, employing a firearm during

272
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:10.839
a felony. Latosha's defense crime of passion. Broodes Parry manipulated

273
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.160
her into a two year affair, lied to her, told

274
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.680
her he was in an open relationship that his wife,

275
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:21.599
Tabitha approved, that they practiced ethical non monogamy, all lies.

276
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.400
LaTosha testified she bought the gun to kill herself, not

277
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.720
to hurt anyone else. Drove to Tennessee to confront Broodes

278
00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:33.160
one last time. Just wanted answers, just wanted closure. But

279
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.039
when she saw him, when he acted like she meant nothing,

280
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:40.680
she snapped, lost control, pulled the trigger. Doesn't remember the

281
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:44.440
moment she shot him, just remembers the rage, the heartbreak,

282
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:51.119
the betrayal. Prosecution argued premeditation. LaTosha bought the gun hours

283
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:54.680
before the shooting, drove three hours from Arkansas to Tennessee,

284
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:59.000
went to the Perry's apartment, waited forty minutes, then pulled

285
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.119
the gun and executed. Brodes shot Tabitha when she tried

286
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.680
to intervene, reloaded the gun. That's not passion, that's murder.

287
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:12.319
The trial lasted a week. Tabitha testified described the horror

288
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:16.799
watching her husband die, getting shot herself, hearing Lytosha repeat,

289
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:20.519
you broke my heart as she killed him. Tabitha also

290
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:24.720
revealed Brodes had been cheating, not just with LaTosha, with

291
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:28.480
multiple women, told them all he was in an open relationship,

292
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:33.960
ethical non monogamy recommended books about polyamory, had a book

293
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.240
club where he communicated with women through an app. Tabitha

294
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:40.000
found it odd asked him about it. He said it

295
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:45.039
was innocent. Just book discussions all lies. So brodes Perry

296
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.079
wasn't innocent. He was a pastor who preached morality while

297
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.039
cheating on his wife, who manipulated multiple women into relationships,

298
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.920
who lied to everyone. But that doesn't justify murder, doesn't

299
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:01.920
make Lytosha's actions right. Friday afternoon, jury returned with a

300
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.400
verdict not guilty of employing a firearm during a felony,

301
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:09.160
acquitted on that charge. Guilty of second degree murder for

302
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:13.160
killing brodes Perry, lesser charged than first degree. Jury didn't

303
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:16.640
believe it was premeditated. Believed LaTosha acted in the heat

304
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:22.319
of passion. Emotionally disturbed crime of passion, not calculated execution.

305
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.640
Second degree murder carries fifteen to twenty five years in Tennessee.

306
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:32.319
Guilty of reckless endangerment for shooting Tabitha, lesser charge than

307
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.200
attempted murder. Jury didn't believe Letosha intended to kill Tabitha.

308
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.880
Believed she was focused on Broodes. Shot Tabitha recklessly not

309
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:47.920
intentionally reckless endangerment is a Class D felony carries two

310
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:53.519
to four years Lytosha's bond was revoked, immediately taken into custody.

311
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:59.720
Sentencing scheduled December seventeenth. Prosecution wanted first degree murder, life

312
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.880
in prison, didn't get it. Jury convicted on lesser charges,

313
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.880
partial victory for the defense, but still guilty, still going

314
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:13.160
to prison. Defense attorney Lauren Fuchs told reporters LaTosha is

315
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:18.359
genuinely remorseful, not just for Tabitha, for Brodes too. Never

316
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:20.880
meant to kill him, just wanted him to feel the

317
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:25.359
pain she felt, got carried away, lost control, regrets it

318
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:29.720
every day. Fuchs also said brodes Perry was manipulative, controlling,

319
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.400
cheated on multiple women, lied to all of them, used

320
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.359
his position as pastor to exploit vulnerable women. LaTosha was

321
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.279
a victim too, victim of his manipulation, of his lies,

322
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:46.640
of his betrayal. Maybe maybe brodes was manipulative, maybe he

323
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:50.400
exploited women, but LaTosha made a choice, bought a gun,

324
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:54.559
drove to his home, shot him multiple times, shot his wife.

325
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:59.279
That's not victimhood, that's murder. Brodes Perry was forty two

326
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:07.039
years old, executive pastor, father, husband, cheater, manipulator, but alive,

327
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:11.759
should still be alive, should be held accountable for his lies,

328
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:15.799
for his affairs, for the women he hurt, but through

329
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.880
accountability through consequences, not through murder. Tabitha Perry lost her husband,

330
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:27.359
lives with permanent injury, permanent pain, permanent trauma, watched him

331
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.400
die in front of her, got shot trying to save him,

332
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.960
all because LaTosha couldn't handle heartbreak, couldn't walk away, had

333
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:38.279
to make him pay. Make it make sense. A woman

334
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:41.000
drives three hours with a loaded gun to confront her lover,

335
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.519
shoots him multiple times while repeating, you broke my heart,

336
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.480
shoots his wife when she intervenes, then claims it was passion,

337
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:51.839
Claims she lost control, claims she didn't mean it. The

338
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:56.200
jury believed her partially second degree murder, not first degree,

339
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:01.119
fifteen to twenty five years, not life reck neckless endangerment,

340
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:07.319
not attempted murder, two to four years. December seventeenth, sentencing

341
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.559
judge will decide exactly how long LaTosha Daniels spends in

342
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:16.079
prison for breaking Brodes Perry's heart then stopping it permanently.

343
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.559
That Celebrity Trials for Tuesday, November eleventh, twenty twenty five.

344
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:27.079
Melody Buzzard missing thirty two days, her mother arrested on

345
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:32.440
unrelated charges. Still won't say where Melody is, whether she's alive,

346
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.359
whether she's safe. Antonio Brown arrested in Dubai on attempted

347
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.759
murder charges. Allegedly shot a man after a boxing match

348
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:44.680
in Miami, fled the country, hid for six months, now

349
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:49.440
facing fifteen years. LaTosha Daniels found guilty of second degree

350
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:54.519
murder and reckless endangerment. Killed pastor brodes Perry while repeating

351
00:25:54.880 --> 00:26:00.559
you broke my heart. Sentencing December seventeenth tomorrow. Updates on

352
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.039
these cases and whatever else breaks. I'm read Carter, this
