Exposed Double Episode: Cops Gone Wild, Bad Teachers

0:00 Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite. I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and today I'm bringing you a case of stalking. And y'all, this one may surprise you just a little bit because it's not from someone you may expect. So a civil suit surfaced on August twenty six of this year, and it was accusing and alleging that a Riverside County and y'all, Riverside County is in California, a Riverside County Sheriff's deputy by the name of Eric Piscatella. A civil suit came out accusing him of stalking and it was filed by a social media influencer by the name of Brianna or Tega.

0:46 Now a little bit about Brianna Ortega. She is a really large social media influencer. She has over one hundred and forty five thousand Instagram followers and over thirty two two thousand TikTok followers. She focuses on fitness on her social media and she'll take pictures of herself and you've seen these fitness Instagram videos and pictures where basically you're standing in front of mirror, you're doing selfiees, etc. She's twenty nine years old, and as you may expect, she's a beautiful girl, very in shape and not what you would consider shy to show off her body. I guess she's also a mother of three children. Now, as I mentioned, the defendant in this case is Eric Piskatella. Eric is a thirty year old or was a thirty year old deputy with the Sheriff's office when all this got filed.

1:46 He had worked as a sheriff's deputy for approximately five years when he and Ortega crosspaths. So let's get into the wild chain of events that occurred when this happened. So in September of twenty twenty three, Brianna was attending a county fair and she was with her son and her daughter. And while she was walking around the fair with her kids, they're doing what you do at fairs. They're playing various fair games in the midway, and her son spots some Sheriff's deputies handing out stickers to all the kids. Now, that son then approaches the deputies and among them is Eric Piscatella, and he gives this kid a sticker, and as he's pulling the stickers out give them to this kid. A conversation ensues between Ortega and Eric, and in the course of that conversation, Eric asked Brianna what her name was, which she tells him, and that's pretty much where the conversation ends. Nothing beyond that, No numbers were exchanged, no emails else, nothing beyond her just telling him her name. Now Brianna's kids, they got some stickers, and off to enjoy the rest of that fair. So, according to Ortega, this interaction was innocent enough. She didn't

3:16 really think any more about it, and it was kind of a forgettable conversation in her words. So life goes on and fast forward about three months and now we're in January of twenty twenty four and Brianna is chilling out at home, She's looking through her Facebook, Instagram, whatever, and she gets a text from an unknown number. Now the texter claimed to be her quote personal private officer. In Ortega, she was pretty used to getting these weird, off the wall, unsolicited, flirtatious text and a lot of that was due to her large social media presence, so she just kind of shrugged it off. She did, however, respond back and ask this mystery person how they knew her, and the Texter responded they met at the fair. She then recalls the sticker incident that I just told you about, and so this kind of freaked her out and she quit responding after that because she knew she did not give this deputy or phone number, and she's like, oh, how the heck did this guy figure out my number?

4:32 It also kind of freaked her out because one thing I didn't tell you was prior to the texting incident. Officer Eric shows up in full uniform at her door and he's inquiring at that point about where Ortega's daughter is. Now, I'm not sure exactly what the officer used as the context for asking where her daughter was, but I do know that according to Ortega, something didn't seem right to her. She didn't tell Piscatella the location of her daughter, and he was making up some kind of bullshit about this that sort of halfway made sense, but regardless, she didn't say where her daughter was because those red flags came up. Right.

5:18 So at this point, you have three interactions with this guy, the first of the fair, the second at her home when he was asking about her daughter. In the third, those text messages. And this is all in about three months time. Then in February of twenty twenty four, or Tega reaches out to Eric Piscatella, So it's the other way around, but she did it to help her sister. Her sister was going through some things and she had actually become the victim of a crime. So she reached out to inquire about some things with her sister. But she didn't realize this deputy has issues, and when you got those kind of issues, the worst thing someone can do is give any attention to that person because that's adding fuel to the fire. Right Well, she reaches out for assistance, and according to Brianna, rather than help her with her sister, Deputy Piscatella asked Brianna out on a date, which she said, she flatly turns him down. Now, this totally freaked her out even more than the other occasions with this guy. Freaked her out so bad that she actually changes her cell number at this point. So unbeknownst to Brianna by this point was the length that this deputy went through to get information on her. To get

6:48 her phone number, he actually searched her name. This was in January of twenty twenty four through the patrol vehicle's computer. This is also how he got her address, which he used on the call where he shut up at her house and he was asking her where her daughter was. That's how he was able to find her house. He was actually searching that shit through a company computer. By the time of the latest incident in February of twenty twenty four, when she needed help with her sister and he asked her out on a date and she had to change her phone number, this guy's interest was clearly turning into an obsession. According to court documents, it became almost a routine thing for Deputy Eric to access or take his information on law enforcement databases. On July second of twenty twenty four, he allegedly ran or take his license plate using his work computer. Then he shows up yet again at her house. He bangs on her door.

7:55 When she answers, he makes the claim that a black man with dreadlocks had just been seen jumping over her back fence in an attempt to break into her home, which Brianna. She had just got home three minutes prior to when this deputy was banging on her door, and that led her to believe wait a minute, he had to be following me and surveilling me, waiting for me to get home and get this. While he's telling her this, in my opinion, bullshit story about a guy attempting to break into her home, he starts making romantic comments to her.

8:37 He tells her things like she looked beautiful without makeup, and according to Brianna, the way he was saying it was not in a like a sweet, complementary way, but a scary, almost sleazy way that made her feel very uncomfortable. It was also during this interaction that he says he knew she changed her phone number, and he asked her what her new number was. Well, in her mind, he's gonna text me right here and now if I tell him the wrong number, and he's going to know that I gave him a fake one and he's going to freak out. So, under duress, she gives him her new number, and y'all, a lot has been made of her doing this.

9:29 Some people are like, you know, did you really not want this guy's attention? I mean, you gave him your number a second time after you changed it, But put yourself in this position. You have an officer that will not leave you alone. You have never given him any information and he knows all your information. Not only that, but he knew that you changed your phone number when you never told him. Couple that with the fact that he's a police officer. I mean, they have rest power, but also a lot of public trust, and it's a pretty scary situation for a young, beautiful, twenty nine year old single mother with three kids. So she gave in and she gave him that new number, and just as you may suspect, shortly after Ortega gives the officer her new number, he starts texting her yet again, and in one of those texts, he even tells Brianna he was going to quote steal her from her boyfriend. But by this point, Brianna has had enough. He just pushed her over the edge with all that shit, and she reports all of it to law enforcement. She gives them the text message evidence and explains to them everything I've already told you about these interactions with this police officer. So law enforcement takes that and they investigated, and that is

11:03 when they discovered these massive amount of searches the deputy Eric Piscatella had made through the law enforcement database as it related to Brianna Ortega. So, Piscatella, he gets arrested and he's charged with seven felony counts of unlawful use of the Sheriff's departments database. That means that he searched for her on seven different occasions and those are all felonies. And on July twenty third of twenty twenty five, what do you think he does? He gets charged with this stuff, and he takes a deal, he pleads guilty, and then exchange for that guilty police, all of those charges get reduced to misdemeanors. And what do you think he got at that point, Well, you guessed probation. Now. It was just shortly thereafter that this civil lawsuit that I'm covering today comes out. And in this civil lawsuit, Brianna is not only suing Piscatella, but also a guy by the name of Chad Bianca, who is the chief of police, he's responsible for his employees, right, and another officer by the name of Martinez Marino, and she was suing him for culpability because he allegedly knew of the incidents and

12:36 he did not report them. And I gotta say, I don't blame her. She gets no justice here from the criminal side of things. I mean, this dude got probation. He's obviously got a major problem. And let me tell you it may not be the case in this case, but in many cases, these stalking incidents, that's how it starts, and then it turns into rape, and then sometimes it turns in to murder. So he gotta be real cognizant of this. And I don't know how many times she had to tell this guy no, and how many lanes she had to go through, such as changing her phone number, and he would not leave her alone. So I don't blame her. She got no justice. And this guy was bordering, in my opinion, on something much more sinister had she not reported him when she did. Look, you'll never find someone more pro police than Jim Chapman. But here's a newsflash for you, good cops. They hate bad cops more than the general public hates bad cops because it's those bad cops like Eric Piscatella that not only put a black eye on the entire law enforcement industry as a whole, but it also makes it extremely difficult for the good cops to earn back the public trust, so I will keep you updated on this case as more updates become available.

14:06 I know this wasn't a super long case, interesting nonetheless, and I knew you would enjoy hearing it. Jim, did you see what happened in Texas today? Wait before you tell me that, let me tell you what happened in New York. It cannot be as crazy as the case I told you about yesterday in Louisiana. You know what, we should do a podcast. About it, and with that we did. Crime War Weekly covers the crime news headlines that have dominated the week. We cover trending crimes from all over the country, and even sprinkle in a few globally. Crime War Weekly is available now wherever you listen to your podcasts. Simply by searching Crime War Weekly or clicking the link in the description of this podcast. And of course, because it was a little shorter than my normal podcast that I give you, I'm gonna give you a double edition of Exposed Candala's Files of the Elite today, and I'm gonna jump into another story that I have for you.

15:14 And this is about another bad teacher by the name of Stacy Schuler. So to tell you her story, I'm gonna bring you to Mason, ohiatt and I'm gonna tell you about the exploits of former pe teacher and athletic trainer at Mason High School named Stacy Schuler, who in twenty eleven was convicted of sixteen counts of sexual battery, including three counts of offenses involving underage persons. So let's get into it, and I'm going to take you back to twenty ten for this one. And Stacy at this time was a thirty two year old gym teacher at Mason High School. She was also the athletic trainer for the Mason High School football team, and that would play a key role in this case because remember, a key part of what enables these bad teachers to do what it is they do is the access to the students.

16:24 And in this particular case, Stacy Schuller had an extreme amount of access, and we'll get into that. And Stacy was not new to teaching. She wasn't new to teaching at Mason High School. She had been employed at the school for ten years when these allegations came down. So in January of twenty eleven, Mason High School they received notice that Stacy Schuler allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with get ready for it, five male students football players at the school between August and December of twenty ten. Now, apparently one of the students came forward and this student made claims against the teacher that were sexual in nature, and that launched the initial investigation. And as it happens in a lot of these cases with bad teachers, you get one complaint and then you start investigating and come to find out it's multiple people. No different here. So the investigation revealed text messages, alcohol consumption, a lot of sexual allegations. All of these things were brought to the forefront. Now, when this was originally reported, this case, as I said, involved that one student and it was reported via anonymous tip.

17:52 So police, after they discovered another four students were involved, they knew that they were going to have a problem on their hands if they didn't act quickly. They get the word to this teacher of these allegations and Stacey actually turns herself into police. Now, eventually she has an arraignment, she bails out in this case goes to trial. Now this is where the absolutely wild details of this case come out. At the trial, and incidentally, all five of these students were seventeen during the incidents, which is important because at the time, the age of consent in Ohio was sixteen. But they did have a laws similar to many states now that says even if you're seventeen and you consent to sex, if it's with a teacher, it's a criminal offense. So she was still charged criminally, even though technically these kids were seventeen in could consent to it.

19:01 She was in a position of trust and that's why she was still charged. So in trial, one of the students testifies and he describes a situation where he had injured his ankle at football practice and he texted Schuler and asked if she had anything for pain. She replied that although she didn't have anything for the pain, if he still wanted to come by for a visit, he could, meaning come by her house. Red flags everywhere, right, So he goes over to her house and he has a friend with him, and you can't blame this kid. I mean, he knew what was up, He knew what time it was, this teacher telling him, oh, if you just want to come and hang out, he knew what was up. He had a friend with him and Stacy Schuller good looking woman and from all accounts, very flirtatious with these football players.

19:56 So he and his friend go over there and Stacey makes both of them what she termed as vodka smoothies. How about that sounds like dackeries to me. While they're there, According to this student in the trial, they then smoked some weed, at which point she gave him a massage, and he said she was making overtures to him that he took as being an invitation to have sex, which they did. Now, I've covered a lot of freaky teachers on bad teachers, but Stacy Schuler, she may be the freakiest I've covered thus far. He described the incident, saying, during this visit quote she just looked at me and said, do whatever you want to do to me. He testified that he and his friends took turns having sex with Stacy two times each. He said, at some point, three of them went outside to have a cigarette, and the attorney then asked, wait a minute, we're all three of you naked when you went outside, and the boy replied yes.

21:14 He went on to say the second time, he and the other boy went to Schuler's house just five days later. This was on August twenty seventh of twenty ten. He had sex with Schuler on her kitchen counter. He said he stopped after two visits, and when the attorney asked her why, he said he had become interested in another girl his age, he said his friend. However, he went to Schuler's home three more times after that with other players. On one occasion, his buddy, another friend, and Shuler ended up having a bubble bath and then the three had sex in the shower, and then again at the same meeting in Schuler's bedroom. It came out from yet another football player that she craved sex multiple times during a session if you will, and he said when he and his friend were having a threesome, he finished and turned down having sex with her a second time on that meeting because he said, quote, I was getting grossed out about all of us having sex with her and how easy it was. Another football player testified that Schuler and himself had sex at her home seven times during his five visits to her home. He said that he and

22:46 one and even sometimes two other friends would go to her home and they would all have sex with her together. And that included shower sex and massage oils. And get this, a teacher's aid, a nineteen year old teacher's aid, said in the trial that Shuler told her about the sex escapades and that quote she was about to lose everything because of these sex escapades. This is before she got caught. She just had a feeling she was about to get caught. And another eighteen year old teacher's aide testified that Schuler told her, apparently the day after an incident, that she had a hazy head due to a hangover, but she could recall helping one of the football players put on a condom. So you got all this evidence in testimony just mounting heavily against Schuler, including some DNA from one of the boys that was pulled off of a mattress, and the defense and Stacy dueler, they suddenly change her plea from not guilty to not guilty by reason of insanity.

24:09 I know what you're thinking, how can that happen? Well, there were several levels to the defense team's defense of Stacy Schuler. Now, first, she tried the I am a victim defense. She claimed that while she would drink with them, the students would allegedly get her drunk and then take advantage of her after she was drunk. She said that she would never do those things sober and that she was the victim. Now, the problem with that defense is that this happened on five different occasions. It was not a one time thing, so you can throw that defense right out the window. The second level of her defense was she was suffering from PTSD at the time from a difficult divorce. And keep in mind votes this divorce was in two thousand and six, four years prior to any of this shit coming out, and the defense also said she was bipolar and she was taking the drug zoloft, claiming that it could have contributed to her behavior. However, the biggest issue with the defense was that prior to everything coming out, no one at the school from an adult standpoint, saw any signs of anything outside of this teacher being a great teacher. She seemed happy, she never

25:42 seemed depressed, all those sorts of things. So what happened in this case? Well, on October twenty seventh of twenty eleven, Stacy Schuler is found guilty on all sixteen counts of sexual battery in three counts of providing alcohol to minors, and she sentenced to four years in prison and required to register as what's known as a Tier three sex offender, which is the highest tier possible in Ohio. So that's it, right, she serves her time. Whatever. Nope, never goes that way, does it. In November of twenty twelve, after serving just over a year into her sentence, Stacy applies for early release, and part of that process is to write a letter to the judge. Anytime you apply for early release, regardless of the crime, you write a letter to the judge.

26:47 And Stacy writes said letter. And guess what I have said letter in front of me. I'm going to read it to you quickly, says Honorable Judge Peeler. I'm writing you this letter to question you consider allowing me in early release for my four year prison sentence. I've been living at the Ohio Reformatory for Women since October thirty, verse twenty eleven, after leaving the Warren County Jail. Although I did not take the opportunity to speak publicly at my trial, there are some things I would like to share with you now in order to help make your decision about my judicial release. I would like to begin by saying how I shamed I am of my actions and behaviors that led me to my incarceration. With all of the education and training I have had in mental emotional health and substance abuse, I did not ask for help when I certainly needed it. Looking back on my life during the fall of twenty ten, I can clearly see how I was beginning a downward spiral that led to poor decision making and some very serious consequences for me and others. I knew my depression was deepening, my work label was increasing, and my sleep deprivation was worsening.

28:00 Instead of turning to my family for support and knowing my place of employment was not a safe place to turn for help, I retreated into the safety of my solitude. Against my better judgment, I started down the slippery slope of drinking wine in the evenings to aid in sleeping, instead of cutting back on my work hours, reducing my stress, and making time to see my doctor, I can clearly see how flawed my thinking was and how dangerous it was. At the time, I knew it wasn't the best decision to maintain the hectic lifestyle, but I rationalized that I will be able to handle it. I had always pulled through before. Sadly this was not the case this time.

28:41 I was so broken down that I prayed to God to help me out of this mess that I've created with my selfish thinking. God knew I wasn't paying attention to my little hints to change, so it was going to take something big to get my attention. The situations I allowed myself to be involved in or inexcusable and could have been for a and it had only been willing to ask for help. I've always had a strong sense of morals and values and need the difference between right and wrong. Unfortunately, my decision to drink wine impaired my ability to make decisions, and I opened the door to compromise my beliefs. I've never been in trouble with the law before. I've always stayed true to my beliefs and maintained my strong faith and work ethic to be stable and a contributing member of society. I take my commendments in a seriously. I realized my choices and actions are not only an embarrassment to myself and my family, but also reflect poorly of my professions of educator and athletic trainer, as well as my place of unemployment. I also realized my choices and actions have caused harmed of the five young men who came to my house, as well as their families and close friends. My choices and actions also harmed all of my students, athletes, parents, co workers who looked up to and trust to me to do the right thing. Since I've been in prison, I have taken every opportunity to heal and work on becoming a healthier individual, as well as giving back to the other women here. I requested to be on the yard crew for my job. There are only a few small

30:14 number of people who have the privilege of working this job. By doing this, that provided me with the opportunity to take care of the prison grounds by shoveling, snow, cutting grass, edging, trimming trees, painting, cleaning out condemned buildings, taking trash to the dumpster, separating the recyclables, disposing of hot trash, and various other duties as decided by the captains. This is a job that takes a large amount of trust, as I am working out of the direct supervision in tempting situations where I could break the rules. I take a lot of pride in keeping the prison grounds looking professional and clean for all of the inmates, workers and visitors. Additionally, I work at hell Cottage where I live, as a tutor for women who are trying to pass pre GED and GED tests. Since I've always been passionate about teaching and I value education, I was honored to be given this chance by the sergeant Inhaled to assist these women in their goal to further their education. I've been specifically working on reading, writing, and mathematics, although women are starting science and history as well a few of them. I applaud these women for being brave enough to acknowledge they need to better themselves and for trying to improve their lives through education. It is equally as rewarding for them as it is for them. When they pass another section of their tests. They come with genuine gratitude to thank me, but my reward is seeing the excitement in their eyes

31:45 when they actually understand what we have been working on. They don't always get the personal attention in their classes and often get frustrated when they come to me for help and make that commitment to take control of their lives. I'm reminded of how I will no longer make excuses for myself and I will have the courage to ask for help when needed. Another area I've been able to assist is with the pre release program. They're able to apply and be accepted into the program and have a separate norm, special parts, and a variety of programs not available to other inmates, such as education, religion, wellness, vocational choices, etc.

32:25 The mineral health director for the prison contact to me to ask if I be willing to plan and implement a wellness class for thirty women in the wellness tract. The next day, I gave her a syllabus and we discussed my plan. The following day I began teaching a two day per week ninety minute wellness class incorporating meditation, yoga, healthy eating, decision making, etc. It is such a pleasure to share techniques with these women who are trying to make positive changes in their lives to ensure their rate of recidivism will be zero. Opened up so much to me since the course began, and have allowed themselves to become vulnerable in order to heal and grow. I've had the pleasure meeting the families in the visiting hall, where they share with me how their loved one is developing into a healthy, mature woman and then thank me for assisting with the process. I always thank them in return, because these women teach me daily how to become a better person through their courage to grow. Another wonderful opportunity I've had is to teach yoga class to other women who were in emissions with me, which then blossomed into the opportunity to teach a weekly class at the rec center open to all inmates. While I was in admissions, I saw how scared and alone these women were, and how this caused them to act out. After living in general population, I realized it was the same there too.

33:49 Fear and loneliness caused many women much unhappiness. After attending yoga classes on a regular basis, they would tell me how freeing it felt to work through their emotions with yoga. Some of these women have been living in the same negative patterns for many years, and we're open enough to the idea that there might be a better way to live. This again, is a lesson for me which taught me I can always learn and practice healthier ways to deal with my problems. In addition to my work in volunteer activities, I've been involved in many activities and groups through mental health. I mean every six weeks with a psychiatrist who diagnosed me as being bipolar. He manages my medication and behaviors to see if changes need to be made. He's very strongly recommended a mood stabilizer when I first arrived, but he gave me the chance to prove to him that I can balance my moods through various techniques that I've learned over the years, staying active, eating healthy food, getting sleep, reducing stress, practicing yoga, among other things. Although the sleeping nutrition parts are challenging in prison, I have been successful in balancing my moods to the point where I'm not taking additional medication. I've also learned through meetings with my psychologists that my overactive schedule is how I kept myself from the more negative, depressive moods I don't enjoy. Over the years, I've learned how to adjust my activities so that I could avoid darker moods associated with being bipolar.

35:21 My psychologists and I spoke about different groups that would be beneficial for me to participate in for my healing, although many groups have significantly long waiting less based on outdate, I have completed the domestic violence group, which taught me my warning signs to look for in future relationships and show me how unhealthy that my marriage was. It also made me realize you do not have to be in a domestic relationship to be in an unhealthy relationship. Through my weak boundaries, I've allowed myself to be manipulated by aggressive individuals and many of my relationships were violent, and received a certificate for mental health wellness. While in admissions, I am on the waiting list for boundaries courses, a bipolar group, and a few other decision making healthy living groups.

36:12 Even if I do not complete these groups before my release, I plan to seek similar help groups in counseling to grow as an individual. One group that I requested to be in immediately after arriving was a sex offender group. Although the law has changed and this group is no longer mandatory, I requested that Mental Health add me to the class list. I realized I will have a constant reminder of my poor decisions for the rest of my life, as I will have to register as a Tier three sex offender every ninety days for as long as I live. More than that, I am aware of the consequences of my choices on others and will have to deal with the hurt and pain caused by my actions. This class only reiterated that point and reminded me how many hurting people there are in the world. I do not want to be the cause of any suffering to any living being ever again in my life. I also created an inaction plan to identify personal risk factors that I need to be aware of that could trigger becoming involved in harmful situations and how to combat those. The big areas for me would be to abstain from alcohol consumption, ensure adequate sleep, keep a reasonable work schedule, set and enforce healthy boundaries for myself and others, and to ask for help when I need it. For my support group, besides my various jobs and classes, I regularly attend support groups as well as AA Alcoholic Anonymous weekly meetings. I have gained much insight into my behaviors by listening to the

37:43 women in recovery share their stories and growth process. I now know that I am codependent in the sense that I want to help everyone to the detriment of helping myself. I understand that I turned to alcohol to help me sleep instead of taking the time away from my work to make a doctor's appointment or just cut down on my schedule. Because of this, it leads me to continue making poor decisions for my own health, which eventually led to poor decisions that affected other people's health. I fully realized how significant the consequences of putting my needs behind the needs of others are, and I will no longer delay asking for help when I need it. Another wonderful opportunity that I have since arriving here is the chance to deepen my faith through the various religious services offered each week. I attend Catholic Mass in a Protestant church service twice a month. I attend Buddhist meditation class, which is offered twice a day. I've attended a weekly Bible study course in praise ministry activities when offered. I'm amazed how much I have learned from the time I have spent just from observing and listening to the women around me, and have come to realize how much pain and suffering in this world could be prevented through proper educational opportunities and outreach programs. Ohio Reformatory for Women is a last resort to help people who who need intents restructuring of their lives, and should therefore provide opportunities to educate, rehabilitate,

39:15 and help inmates so that upon their release they may have skills, knowledge, and support to be law abiding citizens. Unfortunately, from my experience in prison, which is likely due to the prison being understaffed, many women are scared to leave the safety of the prison walls because they have not yet developed a strong enough moral character to fight their personal demons and regain the confidence and inner guidance to make healthy decisions in their lives. I consider myself lucky to have had the chance to enroll in and attend programs and classes that help me elevate the areas of my life that need to be worked on. Ya, honor, thank you for considering my judicial release. I respect your decision and realize the difficult job you have to balance way the options of giving chances to people like me by graining an early release versus consequences to be dealt with if we do not live up to the court's expectations.

40:11 I've learned throughout the last two years how strong my family and friends support group is, and that it is not only okay to ask them for help when I need it, but it is absolutely necessary. I've learned to appreciate even more the value of my education and my ever grown faith in God. For healthy decision making and boundary setting. I need to use my education, my faith, my more values, and yoga by which I live. I've learned it has never okay to allow myself to get so worn down physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually that I turn my back on everything and everyone that keeps me on the right path in life. I realize now more than ever that I can do nothing on my own, and it is only God's grace and strength that I live every day according to His will, and I must ask daily for the guidance to feel His purpose for me.

41:02 I acknowledge that through my wrong mindedness, I had brought hurt and pain to numerous individuals who trusted me and have faith in me. I continue to pray daily for peace and healing for all that I may have harmed, respectively. Stacy Schuler, Now, why did I read you that long ass letter? Well, that's because I wanted you to know what the judge read because it plays a very important role in what I'm about to tell you. The judge considers it, and shockingly, at least to myself, she's actually released from prison on November thirteenth of twenty twelve. So there you have it, and I'd be curious to know what your thoughts are on this. Should she had been released after hearing that letter she wrote the judge. And what is she doing now, you may wonder, Well, she UN's a business in Ohio where she teaches yoga to women in the down and Boom in the Dayton, Ohio area.

42:14 And that's all I got for you today, a double dose of Exposed, scandalous files of the Elite, and a few quick announcements.

And finally, today, if you like what we bring to you with Exposed, please consider becoming a supporter on Patreon. Folks, my Patreon supporters, I call them, affectionately, my celebrities. This show could not exist without them. The expense involved in the research and production of this podcast costs money, and it's these folks who make all of it possible. The benefits are great too, commercial free early releases, bonus episodes, quarterly gifts, all kinds of stuff. Files of the cases that I talk about.
