Crime Wire Weekly 5/16/25 | Menendez Brothers Ruling, Diddy Trial Ramping Up, Attack of the Kangaroo's

0:10 In New York, the trial of Sean Combs has started. In the Star, witness Cassie Ventura has taken the stand and we got the details. In California, the Menendez brothers have been re sentenced, making them eligible for parole. Will they get it? Kelly and I are going to discuss that. And in Louisiana, a woman convicted of an attempted kidnapping of a baby at a Baton Rage hospital has been sentenced. We're bringing you that story plus more today on The Crime Wire Weekly. I'm Jim Chapman and I'm Kelly Jennings. What's up, Kelly, Jay? I am happy. It's a we're recording this on a Friday.

0:50 And yeah, it's pretty weather. I just got my toenails painted. I can't say the same. Well, mine are definitely unpainted. Mine have flowers on them, right, and diamonds and diamonds. Oh my gosh, extra baby, I gotta look good for my baby. You are my husband, right, not Jim. Yeah, let's clarify that he likes to look pretty. There you go, all right. So in the future, what we're gonna do with this, We're gonna continue to drop this on our individual feeds just until the first week of Jane, first week of June. When that episode drops, it's gonna be on its own individual feed, So we're not gonna have it on the feed that you're getting in on now. However, we're gonna share some things to our social media and we'll share the link. You need to go to that link if you're enjoying the show and follow the show just like you do with our individual shows. It's gonna be completely separate. We don't want to clog our feed and bog it down with a show that's completely different than what me and kJ normally do.

1:59 So we're just introducing it to our fans right now. We're going to put it on its own feed and it'll be its own individuals shit. And we appreciate all the feedback so much, wonderful feedback, both the best listeners, really. We really do. All Right, Well, let's get into the world of crime, and I'll start us off in New York and we're going to talk about the Seawing Combes trial, which is luck you can't pull up Google without seeing nineteen stories on the Shawan Combes trial. It is fully underway in the last couple of days Cassie Ventura has been on the stand. Now, Cassie Ventura, she is in her third trimester of her pregnancy. As a matter of fact, she's due like in a week and a half, so she could have that baby at any time. Of course, she's testifying in this trial under an extreme amount of pressure, which can bring on a baby. So it was interesting, Kelly that yesterday during her testimony in this trial, the defense said, look, we're not exactly sure when we're going to have her off the stand. And the judge said, hold up, we've been talking about this for a month, and he was he was pretty pissed, quite frankly, he said, we've been discussing she was pregnant, and I told her she was going to be out of here by midday Friday, and I don't care what you have to do to make that happen, but we're out of here by midday on Friday with her.

3:25 I respect that too, because you know, having a baby is not as simple as people I think believe it to be. You know, having done it multiple times, she's got a lot going on emotionally, physically, and then too, you know, I'll say allegedly right now, but allegedly be a victim of horrendous Well she was. You know, videos are out there getting the crap beat out of her, so a minimum, she's definitely a victim of the. Right, right, and then to be facing him in court just feed away. I just think a lot of people who can get on the stand who experienced horrific situations and then just be feed away from the person who did that, and then to just stand your ground and and talk about it and not to mention the whole world's watching this how humiliating.

4:12 Well it is. And you know, they shared a lot of text back and forth between Sean Comb's and Cassie Ventura, and a lot of these are you know, I'm not out there and I can't see everybody's text, but when you text your wife or something, sometimes those are very personal. Well, this is you're talking years of text back and forth between these two, some of them very graphic, that are now being read out loud in open court to you know, everybody in the world essentially. Yeah, So it's. It's brilliant just today, just putting yourself in someone's shoes, the victims shoes. Just today, like I said, I was at the nails line. I had a picture of what I wanted painted, and I handed it to my girl and she said, okay, can I take this to go get your paint? Said sure, Well, I thought she meant to turn around and just walk like right there to grab some paint. But she walked away around a wall with my phone. And the longer yeah, and the longer I sat there, I was kind of like, you know.

5:11 I don't have anything to hide, but I kind of my children, my family, are you know? What do you? I don't need you just gone with my phone. I was like, excuse me, could you ask her to bring my phone back? I'd like to have it. And the girl turns around and she goes she doesn't want you taking her phone. I was like, oh shit. She brought it right back, and I was like, I'm not doing to v ugly. I just that's you know, your private Yeah, And I. Mean, look, I've had people I'll take a picture of you. I'm like, not with my phone, You're not. I mean, I ain't gonna say I got anything on there to hide, but I might, well, yeah I might. I don't know what's twenty six years girl, I have something, don't be swiping.

5:52 Look anytime I hand my phone to people, they laugh and I'll say, don't don't scroll. Yeah, yeah, don't be scrolling all my ship. I know I look like a psychopath because I have pictures of my flowers in my yard. Then I'll have pictures of crime scenes, and then it'll ship. To a Bible verse like hot ass mess is on this phone. It's funny when you do what we do for a living, of course, with Unspeakable, a true crime podcast by Kelly Jennings and Exposed. Uh. When you do those things, you google a lot of off the wall stuff. And the reason you're doing that is you have to have your research together to tell your story. But if somebody doesn't know what you do and they get a hold to your Google history, holy smokes, this person's psycho. Yeah, Google, I research killers. I'm not one.

6:39 I researched something the other day that I thought, damn, if someone ever gets the search history, this one's this one's weird. But it was kind of like when someone stabbed someone through a certain artery, what's typical bleedout time? You know? And I was like, wow, yeah, yeah. I'm telling you. I mean you just never know. So the wrap that up the show on Combs Trial. They're slating it to be anywhere between six and eight weeks total. We are wrapping up week one as we record this today, so they still got a long way to go, all right. So a woman pleads guilty to charges related to attempted kidnapping at a Baton Rouge hospital. And so the woman was charged in connection with the attempted kidnapping of a baby from our lady the Lake Children's Hospital, and she's taken a plea deal avoiding jail time. Dynasty Selman pled guilty to count two of unauthorized entry of a place for business or a place of business. Under those circumstances, she is on active supervised probation for three years. In addition, she's required to continue all of the following mental en psych treatment, engage in treatment and therapy, stay away from the hospital, effective decision making course, anger management, and fifty hours of community service, as well as maintaining employment or student status. Because in March of twenty twenty four, Selman, who was only twenty one years old at the time, was facing charges of attempted kids napping and seven counts of unauthorized entry of a business. According to baton Rouge's police Selman cased our lady the Lake Children's Hospital for weeks.

8:08 Arrest documents reveal Selman fraudulently obtained a parent caregiver badge. Investigators say that the card allowed her to access certain floors and rooms of the hospital when she did not have a child. Court documents report that on February nineteenth and twentieth of twenty twenty four, Selman was seen on the hospital's security footage wearing a parent caregiver badge and the surgery wing of the hospital, which has restricted access. Jail records state the surgery wing is restricted to parents or caregivers with children undergoing surgery, or guests of children undergoing surgery. Police confirmed none of those roles applied to Selman. On the night of February twenty first, Selman allegedly rang the doorbell of the Pickew after visiting hours and told staff she was there to visit. The staff did not recognize her as one of the patient's parents and explained that visiting hours were over. The staff member reportedly recognized Selman and saw her slowly walking past each patient's room looking inside. The staff member told Selman that visiting hours were over and escorted her out of the restricted area and arrest report says that the next night, on February twenty second, she again rang the doorbell of the PICW and the same staff member granted her access to the wing and immediately recognized her from the previous night. The staff member asked her who she was there to visit, and Selman said she was there visiting her nephew, but could not provide a room number or name of the patient, and was observed pretending to make a phone call and then later walking off.

9:30 And leaving the wing. While she was walking the floors of the hospital, she was able to find a room with a baby where the parents weren't present. So this baby is laying there, I guess I'll say unattended. I mean, I know the hospital's taking care of the child, but with no one there to give that extra set of eyes. And it was later learned that the baby was intensive care and the parents didn't live in Baton Rouge. That puts a fear in me that a stranger could just walk in on my baby who's in intensive care. Oh my god, an affidav it said February twenty ninth, Selman and her boyfriend went into the room with a nine month old patient that she did not know. Court documents say Selman told her boyfriend that the patient was her child, making him believe that he was the biological father. Police said Selman learned the child's medical history by reading the charts, so now she's taking taking hip hop protected information. On March first, the boyfriend became suspicious of the baby when he came to the hospital and saw the name on the door didn't match the name that Selman gave him.

10:29 The boyfriend then told a family friend who's a nurse, and that's when police said the hospital learned that there was a security breach. Selman her boy boyfriend went back to the hospital with his family, where they were confronted by security. Selman was asked for her ID and was asked to leave the hospital after they retrieved her access card. More than two weeks later, she was arrested in Shreveport, and authorities did confirm that the child was never taken out of the room. But it's kind of got to beg the question here. You've searched it out. For weeks and then you look. You find a young, young child too, not a not a you know, a teenager or an older younger child if that makes sense, A baby, well.

11:09 Either either way. I mean, even if it was an older child. You can't make that shit up. She actually went in the room and told her boyfriend that was her baby and his and his if he didn't break up with her, well, I mean that shit. You know, I can't wrap my mind around being dumb enough that my girlfriend, out of the clear blue sky says, oh, I had a baby. I mean, how, how the hell do you even wrap your head around what was going on in both of their minds. I don't blame him, and thank god he said something when he noticed the name on the door was wrong, But dude, did you buy that to begin with?

11:51 Well, this is this is where my thoughts go. This was probably not a legitimate boyfriend girlfriend as I would assume boyfriend girlfriend goes. Maybe this was. Were of like a convenience type of situations. That makes sense. So maybe they hung out together with no clothes, and then they didn't see each other for a while, and then she claimed she was pregnant had a baby, and now they're rekindling. So I think I understand where the judge went here that she didn't hurt Thank god, she didn't hurt the child, she didn't actually physically remove the child. I think this is beyond just being a weirdo. This has got to be mental health related in some fashion or form. Now, if it was my child, i'd be losing my mind. So it's easy for me to sit back and say, I understand where the judge was coming from.

12:32 Here. Hopefully she'll get this mental health treatment. They will continue to monitor. I hope that there's a follow up plan here to monitor, a check back in procedure process, to ensure that something's being done. Because that's not normal. And the hospital. Let me tell you, I was actually at this same hospital in the last couple of years with the child, and I arrived by ambulance with the child, and so I didn't have my purse, I didn't have my ID, I didn't have anything. But because I came in the ambulance, obviously I was given access to what was going on. Well, I left and went outside to take a breather and just collect my thoughts, and when I went to go come back in, they would not let me in because I didn't have an ID, and I lost my mind.

13:18 Because I'm like, I arrived here an ambulance, What do you want me to do? Pull a license out of my ass? And I understood the security measure, I completely for this type of reason. I understood the security measure. But it does make you wonder. I mean, I couldn't even get past the front door, and I arrived there with the child, right and she but she did steal a badge, I mean she did. This is beyond just not being where you're supposed to be. This type of person is scary to me. What was your long, long, long term. Goals hereid that that you know? And I don't know that to be one hundred percent fact, but I have a feeling that had it's given much noticed, the fact that the name was different on the door, I think at some point that was her plan. Why else would you make up this story that is so ridiculously obvious.

14:09 Yeah, there's beyond me. There's some serious mental health issues here, and I would feel obligated as a judge that I want to make sure that you're getting some type of help here, because if this ever escalated into something else, that's when children are missing. Right, And we can allow that. I agree, Well, let's go to North Carolina rather South Carolina, and we're going to take you to our old friend Alec Murdall, or Elick as he's known by his friends. He just can't get out of the news. Now. I did a thirty episode series on Murdall on Exposed candalist files of the Elite, and I discussed the possibility of this happening. It has happened. Becky Hill, who was the clerk of court in the murder trial. She has been arrested and then released from jail after posting bond this past week following her arrest for alleged misconduct during that trial. Now, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, which we all know has sled, on Wednesday afternoon announced that Hill, who is fifty seven, has been charged with obstructing justice and misconduct in Callington County and perjury in Richland County.

15:29 She received a thirty thousand dollars bond in Collington a fifty thousand dollars bond in Richland. And these charges stem from a January twenty twenty four hearing in the South Carolina Supreme Court where Justice Jean Tull, a very well respected justice in South Carolina, ruled that a new trial was not necessary for Myrdal, who was convicted in the June twenty twenty one murders of his wife, Maggie is son Paul Mardall Heber requested a new hearing based on allegations of journey tampering involving Becky Hill. So the long in the short of this is charging documents stated that when Tull asked Becky Hill, quote, did you allow anyone from the press to view sealed exhibits? Hill responded no, ma'am, which is apparently inconsistent with evidence. It has been attained by sled Lewis and Hill said said Heill turned herself in Wednesday during a hearing in Collington County and she was booked into jail. She just got released. But here's the question to all of that, Marta aus in jail for the rest of his life. She is now charged with obstructing justice and misconduct in this trial, which is a pretty good argument that you didn't get a fair trial, especially when someone is criminally charged. Gene told last year

17:02 that although she found that the Clerk court had committed some infractions during that trial, it did not rise to the extent that it would warrant a new trial. In other words, she was saying, even considering all of this tampering, it's still there's so much evidence here. It wouldn't have changed the verdict. See what happens. And you know Murderal's attorneys are pushing now for that to be looked at again. So hey, everyone, let me tell you about my good friend Kelly. She's a proud Louisiana high school teacher from right here in the Bayou State, and in twenty twenty two, she launched Unspeakable, a true crime podcast by Kelly Jennings.

17:48 Armed with a master's degree in criminal justice, her vast experience in law enforcement, and her sassy, fiery attitude, Unspeakable has risen to one of the top true crime podcasts, and I am proud to say she is one of my dear friends. Kelly, sum up your podcast for me. On Unspeakable, I focus on the victims of the crimes and not the perpetrator. I want to be the victim's voice. That's why victims First is not just a slogan for me. It's much more than that, and it's why I launch the podcast. In every case I cover centers around that belief the victims matter. I draw from nearly two decades of experience in law enforcement to tell these stories. They are real crimes with the real victims.

18:29 Unspeakable, a true crime podcast by Kelly Jennings, can be found wherever you listen to podcasts, or by visiting Unspeakable. The podcast dot com. Unspeakable is an Envision Podcast Studios production. So let's go to the Menindez brothers now and now they're eligible for parole after serving more than thirty years behind bars for the murder of their parents. So Eric and Laile Menndez will be eligible to leave prison after serving more than thirty years behind bars for the vicious nineteen eighty nine shotgun slayings of their parents, a. Los Angeles judge ruled. The judge reduced the sentences for the killer siblings, who are now fifty four and fifty seven, respectively, from life without parole to fifty years to life with the possibility of parole. It would now be up to the California Parole Board and Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom to decide if the brothers deserve freedom after they gunned down their wealthy parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez and their lavish Beverly Hills home on August twentieth of nineteen eighty nine, and at the end of Tuesday's hearing, both brothers gave emotional accounts of the murders, which they claimed came after years of sexual abuse by Jose with Kitty's help.

19:36 Here's a quote. My choices that night robbed my parents of their full lives, said Eric, who was only eighteen when he shot his parents. I can only imagine the fear, the pain, and the trauma it caused my family. His older brother echoed that same sentiment. I committed an atrocious act against two people who had the right to live my mom and dad, Lyle said, appearing to fight tears back as he said it. I take full respec responsibility for my choices. I was twenty one years old, and I believed I could fix what could not be fixed. Lawyers cross examined several witnesses at Tuesday's hearing, including family members and one former inmate, who all insisted Lyle and Eric had learned the error of their ways and had redeemed themselves in prison. The brother's cousin, Anna Maria Barrault, said that the pair had been universally forgiven by everybody in our family, insisting that they had been fully rehabilitated. I would welcome them into my home with my family, she said. Barrault added that should the brothers be granted parole, they planned to work as advocates for victims of sexual abuse. Deputy District Attorney Habib Balian argued that the brothers showed no insight to sticking to an absurd claim that they killed their parents in self defense after years of sexual abuse, but their lawyer, Mark Garrigos insisted the brothers have undergone full transformations. Garrigos highlighted prison hospice and green space programs spearheaded by Eric and Lyle, respectively. Rapper X rated fight about how the brothers had acted as his mentor when he was jailed for murder and guided him through his own parole process,

21:06 helping him understand where and how he had gone wrong. He colloquially referred to the brother's mentorship of other inmates as Menendez University, but Bileon questioned Brown's remorse for his own crime and joked that the only thing he learned from the Menindez University was how to fool a parole board. In the end, Judge Michael just excided with Geragos, the family members and the brothers themselves who delivered emotional statements of remorse at the. End of the hearing. Now their fate lies with the state Attorney General and Newsom. The final hearing of that state parole Board has been scheduled for June thirteenth. And if you recognize the name, Mark Geergos, course celebrity attorney to the stars and his daughter is the one of the attorneys on the Sean Combe's case. Not only that, but Mark Gergoz is also an advisor. He's not an official attorney, but an advisor to Sean Combe's team. Tells you how powerful he is in life. Okay, hey, in this case, he's got these guys. What do you think?

22:03 Okay, hey, A. Lot of people don't agree with me, but I stand on business on this one. I don't agree with that whatsoever. I don't think just because time has gone by that fixes what was done. I have followed this case extensively. I've done an episode on this one, and there was so much planning, preparation. They wanted them to die, they killed them, and I don't believe the older brother at all that he was sexually abused, not at all, not an ounce of it. Do I personally believe the younger brother. I'm a little more inclined, just because of body language and a whole lot of other things. I want to go down the whole path here, but we'll say that it didn't say you get parole. It said you're eligible for parole. And I've seen cases, because if you're not familiar with me, I worked at Angola, and I've seen cases of inmates that one hundred percent behind bars have done amazing things. Okay, they are part of that hospice program, they're part of these other programs that they put on that look good and make the heart feel good. However, those inmates aren't being given another chance. You know why, because you should have a good heart to begin with, and you get in these programs behind bars because you get more freedoms. I just don't buy this whole thing because I saw the crime scene photos, I saw the planning and the preparation, and that's flat out cold blooded murder what happened.

23:34 And I don't think them an Indez brothers deny that. I think what they deny or what they're saying is they were molested and that's why they did it. I don't believe. I don't. I don't believe Lyle. Yeah, well, then that's a whole nother store. They went outside, reloaded their shotguns, and came back in, and while their mother was crawling underneath the table, already wounded, blew her away. Yeah, thirty five years means nothing to me. And I'm glad your family has forgiven you because time does aid in the grief process. But the accusation of the molestation was never a cold It was never like a slam dunk that this happened.

24:19 It was never a slam dunk. It was an allegation that was brought up, just like Casey Anthony brought up the allegation of sexual abuse she walked and you know what all society knows about that. Yeah, great, there's nothing about it. I think in that case, just from what I can recall, there were allegations outside of just the Menindez brothers with molestation with that. Guy, which, hey, all of that may be true. I'm not saying that that isn't true, but I'm saying that these guys. Were old enough to walk away. If your life was that bad, you're twenty fucking one years old, walk out the door. But they wouldn't have gotten the benefits kept that lifestyle when they when the police showed up. And I'm getting a little impassioned here, but when the police showed up after they blew two people away with shotguns, all they really asked was can we get our tennis rackets?

25:13 Would have changed your opinion if there was one hundred percent proof they were molested? Yes, okay, it would because then we have people acting in a manner where there's a build up over time, and then I understand explosive behavior. Now would I still have convicted them of one, but deny the murder? Right, the sentencing would have been different, not the conviction. Let me say that, Hey, give us some feedback though, I mean, maybe you do agree, maybe you disagree either way, that's the that's the conversation. You know, where do we stand on this? That's right? All right, We're gonna stay in California, I guess for this one. And who I hate these stories.

25:56 A former sixth grade teacher has been sentenced to thirty years to life in prison for sexually abusing two of her young former students. Now her name is Jacqueline Ma and she was named one of the Teachers of the Year. This was in twenty twenty two. She taught at what's known as Lincoln Acres Elementary School in San Diego. She pleaded guilty in February to two counts of forcible loot acts on a child, one count of loot act on a child, and one count of possessing child sexual abuse. So Ma, who is thirty six, was arrested after a mother of one of her former students accused her of sending inappropriate messages to her son. San Diego DA Summer Stevens said in a statement quote, the defendant violated the trust she had with her students in the most extreme and traumatic way possible. Her victims will have to deal with a lifetime of negative effects and her thirty year sentence as appropriate. DA stated in a press release that Ma groomed one of her minor students for more than a year before performing sexual acts on him at the age of twelve. After the boy's parents didn't allow him to have social media or electronics, Ma set up an unsanctioned after school program and directed him to communicate with her through a school chat application. The sex abuse continued

27:26 in the classroom for three months while the boy's parents were unaware. In twenty twenty, sexually assaulted another boy, who was eleven at the time. She continued to groom both young boys with gifts, food, and special attention. She eventually gained the trust of the parents with her reputation and personal investment in their academic development. She began teaching at Lincoln Acres High School. This was in twenty thirteen, and she was actually named by the San Diego County Office of Education and as the Teacher of the Year in twenty twenty two. And look, San Diego big school district there, You're not talking about one or two three major schools in that district. You're talking hundreds of schools in that district.

28:14 So a standout teacher from a respect level, it sounds like. Following her arrest in twenty twenty three, prosecutors alleged that ma sent explicit images to the student and coerced him to send explicit videos back. The judge said in court before sentencing that the former teacher was protected from scrutiny due to her status as that teacher. Of the year. Ma also addressed her crimes in court, saying, quote, I disgraced the teaching profession, abused my authority, exerted my power and control over them, and deceived them. I ripped away their childhood. And the senacing comes after my pleaded guilty to all of those allegations in February.

29:02 And I I'm of the opinion that she did this on purpose, okay, because if you have kids whose parents are have taken away their electronics so the parents think that they are controlling any type of social media or online or content communication, now she's got a victim that the parents aren't going to be checking up because they think they've taken it. And you got to think devius. To catch Devius like this, then you're going to set up that after school program, which by the way, it does say is unsand you know was not allowed. Then that's just a problem. And they're twelve, that's another thing. Eleven twelve years old. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. And I want to tell any parent out there about this. School districts and I know the one that I work for specifically has a policy in place that there is to be zero communication between a teacher and a child through their cell phone. It should always be going through a third party that is a monitored communication, either website or.

30:02 We used to have a thing called Remind. It's a remind app which parents can log into and they can see you get parents access to it. And in this case, she was using a school chat application. Well that was flying under the radar. Yeah, they just di can catch it. No one sits there and reads them. No, I mean, but this is going to give us the proof that we need, which is the point. But I understand sometimes when the kids are older and they're in high school, maybe the coaches will say we'll text and say, hey, we're meeting here instead of the track, you know, a group type message. But I would never be okay. With a one on one with a teacher or any adult for that matter, texting my child that is young, and it not be for legitimized purposes. You know. Even whenever on school campus, if a male student came into my classroom, they would shut the door, like if they were going to make up a test, I'd say, go open that door. Yeah, just because that's just the way the world should work, I.

30:57 Agree, And that's sick in in this case. You see this a lot, and I have a whole series called Bad Teachers, and I cover these cases. It is an absolute epidemic right now. But I'll say something about this. This case is not the norm. This chick actually got what she deserved. Thirty years to life. Yeah, most get probation. And I'm not kidding you go listen to that series if you don't believe me. Most of these female teachers get very little time, a couple of years, a slap on the wrist, because especially when it deals with high school, which I suspect this kid was twelve in the sixth grade, so it was probably viewed a little more serious. But when you're talking ninth, tenth, eleventh grader grade boys and it's a female teacher, an attractive teacher, in a lot of cases it is not punished as it should. And I think that's why it's such an epidemic.

31:57 And that tearful apology if I was a child's parent means nothing to me. I agree, nothing. Stay the hell away from the kids. Now, let me tell you something else you ought to stay the hell away from. And that's going to be a kangaroo all right, cause we're going to South Carolina. The brother of a South Carolina petting zoo owner was apparently beaten to death by a kangaroo after possibly going into the aussy animal's pen to quote unquote rough house with it. Eric Slat's body was Sue Smart Yeah. Eric Slat's body was discovered inside the facility just before midnight on Friday night at five Star Farm near Loris, about thirty miles north of Myrtle Beach. Slate, who was fifty two, had a history of stepping into the kangaroo enclosure and rough housing with it. The kangaroo was still in its enclosure at the family owned farm when Slat's body was found. The farm recently posted a picture of a large red kangaroo named mister Jack, adding he loves next scratches and will take treats from your hands. It's not clear which animal killed Slate, but he was found with multiple blunt force injuries. Adult male red kangaroos can weigh nearly two hundred pounds and grow up to five foot eleven inches tall, with powerful feet for kicking. In twenty twenty two, an elderly man was kicked by his pet kangaroo in Western Australia, but that was believed to be the first time arou killed a person in nearly ninety years in the country. Five Star Farm offers an interactive pettings do with exotic animals, including camels, wallabies, and kangaroos.

33:23 Owner Robert Slate Road on Facebook, please keep my family in your thoughts in prayers. The kangaroo is not aggressive and has not been euthanized cause, he added, it's not an aggressive animal. It's very sad. It's not the animal's fault. He said. Experts are coming in this week to ensure the enclosure is safe and that the animal is okay. South Carolina has some of the loosest restrictions in the US on the ownership of exotic animals, and it is one of only three states where kangaroo ownership isn't prohibited. Wow, and let me tell you something. Kangaroos are no freaking joke. Kangaroos are bowed up. Man. You see some of them kangaroos and look I met. We got a lot of awesy people that listen are shows and they know this first hand. They got biceps bigger than Mike Tayson and their abs.

34:05 I saw one head button and bumping into a mirror and long claw. Yes, they will tear you up. I saw a video on it might have been YouTube or something, but a kangaroo had a. Dog headlin the river or a lake or something. No, this was in a yard. He had the dog in a headlock and he was basically beating that dog's ass, and the homeowner went up and literally they went fisticuffs right there, and the homeowner punched the room in the face in the room hopped off. That's what I saw. But it was in a It was trying to drown this. Guy's dog in like a like a waterway, and he squared up and he punched it and the kangaroo's flabbers were gased. I mean, he was just flabbergas that the kangaroo.

34:49 He looked back at the man like, I know, you didn't just punch my ass. But the dog ran off and the man got out the water. But this is this is the thing about animals that's a wild animal, regardless of whether it's been domesticated or not. And that I am I just miss pick up wilder. You would have a ruin a heartbeat. Listen, But I would also not keep it as an adult, I might save it, put a cast on its leg and feed it a strawberry. But then you go, you going on your way. But I watched video of this man, and I'm sorry that he's deceased, and that's terrible, but I watched it. I watched some video of him going in the pen and he liked he did, he liked kind of slap in rough house with it to try to make it kind of box back with him.

35:31 Yeah, and I. Probably am going to say that this animal was instigated. And I think any gentle person, even you push him enough, they're capable of fighting back. And I think that's just what happened here. Horrible situation with that. It made me think they real quick about the you know, the whole one ape versus one hundred men argument? Have you seen that? So everyone's like, what would win one one gorilla or versus one hundred men? And people are either saying the gorilla or the men. And so I started thinking about that here, and I'm like, if a kangaroo can kill you in one powerful shred you. It'd grab you and with no effort rip your arm off the shoulder.

36:12 And the other ninety nine behind you. Yeah. I went to a zoo one time. They have one in the Louisiana that you can actually get close to the animals used to being laughy at. I don't know if it's still open, But went to this zoo and they had a silver back gorilla. And this silverback gorilla would be like almost NICs to names. But it was like is this legal? But it was cool. But let me tell you that silverback gorilla was a monster. And they are so powerful. It could grab me with its finger. And I'm not a little guy. It could rip my arm completely off in about two seconds. They're not to play with hands down. So some of them animals. It's graduation time, not just for college though. High schools are graduating all over the country.

So give me the ten most common student offenses that you can think of, all right. I would start with minor and possession, under age drinking, something like that, Okay, I would go trespassing.

37:39 I would say, probably some vandalism. I don't know if drunk driving would would count there, but I don't know if that's if that would be necessarily a top one fighting. So assault outside the bars. M I would say, like drunken, disorderly type stuff I would think would be on there live on campus. I mean there's curfew.
