Hello everybody we are starting a new segment of 69 South.

00:01:05.168 --> 00:01:06.953
It's going to be called the Daily.

00:01:06.953 --> 00:01:16.272
We really enjoy going through these court cases that are hot right now and we're just going to give you updates and commentary on the cases that we are following.

00:01:18.561 --> 00:01:21.870
And we have a lot of cases that we follow.

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.328
First off, we want to talk about Sarah Boone.

00:01:25.328 --> 00:01:29.191
This case was just decided yesterday.

00:01:30.542 --> 00:01:32.668
I'm not sure if it was yesterday or the day before.

00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:40.453
But this is the case of a woman and her boyfriend, who was 102 pounds and just a.

00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.632
He was like 5'2 and weighed 103 pounds.

00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:46.346
Barely bigger than our 10-year-old.

00:01:46.746 --> 00:01:47.149
Right.

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:56.915
And they were getting drunk and they had had a history of fighting and drinking and acting stupid.

00:01:56.915 --> 00:02:06.814
Well, I guess he had a history of physically, allegedly physically and verbally abusing this woman.

00:02:06.814 --> 00:02:09.225
So they were drinking.

00:02:09.246 --> 00:02:10.408
Playing hide and seek.

00:02:10.528 --> 00:02:17.353
Playing hide and seek and somehow she talked this small man into a suitcase.

00:02:18.140 --> 00:02:19.306
Getting in a suitcase.

00:02:19.659 --> 00:02:20.524
Getting in a suitcase.

00:02:20.524 --> 00:02:24.050
Yeah, and he zipped himself up in the suitcase.

00:02:24.882 --> 00:02:26.348
Didn't she zip him up in it?

00:02:26.819 --> 00:02:37.159
Well, I know that at one point in the trial she said that she could see his two fingers sticking out, so she thought that he was able to get in and out of it.

00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:41.387
Before she went upstairs and went to sleep she said but really she passed out.

00:02:43.162 --> 00:02:44.588
I can't believe she did that.

00:02:44.588 --> 00:02:47.269
I can't believe the video that they showed in court.

00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:56.299
I mean no crime on anybody is really funny, but there is a little bit of you got to find humor in something.

00:02:56.299 --> 00:02:57.639
Find some humor in everything.

00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:08.496
The thing about this is she called the police when she woke up and she unzipped her boyfriend out of the suitcase and realized he was purple and not breathing.

00:03:08.496 --> 00:03:12.373
Well, she went to the police department to get interviewed.

00:03:12.373 --> 00:03:13.759
And guess what?

00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.147
They looked at her phone and found out.

00:03:17.540 --> 00:03:26.435
That she had recorded the previous evening of him being in this suitcase and her taunting him.

00:03:26.435 --> 00:03:28.769
And he's like Sarah, baby Sarah.

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:32.128
Let's play that clip real quick, sarah, let me out.

00:03:32.128 --> 00:03:32.711
Yeah.

00:03:40.921 --> 00:03:46.576
For everything you've done to me, for everything you've done to me, for everything you've done to me.

00:03:47.463 --> 00:03:52.962
Fuck you, fuck you.

00:03:52.962 --> 00:03:57.914
Stupid, stupid, terrible.

00:03:57.914 --> 00:04:04.239
That's my name, don't worry about it.

00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:07.070
Terrible, I can't fucking believe this.

00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:31.595
Yeah, that's when you really shook me terrible terrible terrible.

00:04:31.595 --> 00:04:33.850
That's on you, that's on you.

00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:34.153
That's on you.

00:04:34.153 --> 00:04:34.379
That's on you.

00:04:34.379 --> 00:04:34.601
That's on you.

00:04:34.601 --> 00:04:34.846
That's on you.

00:04:34.846 --> 00:04:35.091
That's on you.

00:04:35.091 --> 00:04:35.293
That's on you.

00:04:35.293 --> 00:04:35.499
That's on you.

00:04:35.499 --> 00:04:35.702
That's on you.

00:04:35.702 --> 00:04:35.966
That's on you.

00:04:35.966 --> 00:04:36.190
That's on you.

00:04:36.190 --> 00:04:37.428
That's on you, that's on you, that's on you, that's on you.

00:04:37.428 --> 00:04:37.632
That's on you.

00:04:37.632 --> 00:04:37.836
That's on you.

00:04:37.836 --> 00:04:38.040
That's on you.

00:04:38.036 --> 00:04:45.214
That's on you that's on you that.

00:04:46.276 --> 00:04:52.689
I want to get video for it extra because, I got this.

00:04:52.689 --> 00:04:55.608
Terrible, terrible, terrible.

00:04:55.608 --> 00:05:04.495
That's what I feel like when you jingle me, sarah.

00:05:04.495 --> 00:05:05.136
I can't breathe.

00:05:05.136 --> 00:05:06.057
Baby.

00:05:06.057 --> 00:05:10.675
Oh, that's what I feel like when you're chewing on me, sarah.

00:05:10.675 --> 00:05:12.923
Fuck you, please.

00:05:12.944 --> 00:05:13.906
Sarah, yeah.

00:05:18.882 --> 00:05:20.247
You should probably shut the fuck up.

00:05:20.247 --> 00:05:31.831
I know, and folks.

00:05:31.851 --> 00:05:33.060
That was about the end of Mr Jorge Torres.

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:35.242
I don't know if I just got a sick sense of humor, man.

00:05:35.242 --> 00:05:40.213
I mean, nothing's funny about you know some guy getting suffocated to death in a suitcase.

00:05:40.213 --> 00:05:41.985
It just what kind of tickles me is.

00:05:41.985 --> 00:05:55.529
You can hear, you can hear giggling in the background and when he's like Sarah and she's like, that's what it feels like when you choke me, that's what it feels like when you cheat on me, fuck you.

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.574
I think it's funny, because at that point I don't think she was intending to kill him.

00:06:03.574 --> 00:06:08.271
But if she would have let him out of the suitcase, you know, right then.

00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:10.547
He probably would have whooped her fucking ass.

00:06:10.547 --> 00:06:12.127
He probably would have.

00:06:12.540 --> 00:06:17.632
But I mean, it's not funny at all, but I just can't believe that she did that.

00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:19.285
Well, she did do it.

00:06:19.285 --> 00:06:21.483
And 47-year-old Sarah Boone.

00:06:21.483 --> 00:06:32.463
She was offered a plea deal of 15 years and she had spent nearly five years at trial.

00:06:32.463 --> 00:06:34.548
She had went through nine different attorneys.

00:06:34.548 --> 00:06:43.492
She had actually put out a letter, after going through so many attorneys, to advertise for an attorney.

00:06:43.492 --> 00:06:45.035
Here's that letter.

00:06:46.161 --> 00:06:50.232
So the judge was like I'm not giving you any more attorneys.

00:06:50.232 --> 00:06:54.026
You've done went through eight of them, you're refusing counsel.

00:06:54.026 --> 00:06:57.930
So she wrote this flyer and sent it to the judge.

00:06:57.930 --> 00:07:08.579
And I guess the judge put it out online or in the newspaper and she got an attorney to reply to her.

00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:14.548
And here's what her flyer said Inmate seeks attorney.

00:07:15.500 --> 00:07:21.449
Looking for a prosperous challenge, ready for your close-up on national television.

00:07:21.449 --> 00:07:29.920
Are you zealous with a side of keen national television?

00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:30.963
Are you zealous with a side of keen?

00:07:30.963 --> 00:07:37.892
Show the world who you are with your original creativity, extraordinary expertise, confident ingenuity.

00:07:37.892 --> 00:08:10.906
And then it says qualifications must include being trustworthy, honest, passion-driven, open-minded, exceptional problem-solving skills, client inclusion at all times, team-oriented collaboration, extremely efficient in listening, communicating understanding, extremely efficient in listening, communicating understanding.

00:08:10.906 --> 00:08:27.754
You must have a dedication to success, possess a winning mindset, a capability of excellence in representation and be committed to maintaining faith in your client and care, with the ability to think differently and overcome all circumstances.

00:08:27.754 --> 00:08:32.931
And then, at the bottom, it has epic opportunity awaits.

00:08:32.931 --> 00:08:39.831
And then it said Sarah Boone, and then her, I guess her orange County corrections number.

00:08:39.831 --> 00:08:42.148
And then it says invest.

00:08:42.148 --> 00:08:45.799
Invest in the oppressed, believe.

00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:46.621
Can you imagine I mean.

00:08:46.621 --> 00:08:48.163
And then it says invest in the oppressed believe.

00:08:48.183 --> 00:08:49.025
Can you imagine?

00:08:49.025 --> 00:08:51.470
I mean all the first attorneys and the judges.

00:08:51.470 --> 00:08:52.951
I bet they were just going nuts.

00:08:52.951 --> 00:08:54.455
I wonder what she did for a living.

00:08:54.455 --> 00:08:59.857
She'd have been a good lady to write you know what ads for people that was needing employees.

00:08:59.857 --> 00:09:01.357
That was pretty damn good really.

00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:05.410
And she got an attorney to represent her for free.

00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:07.628
Somebody, sure as hell, signed up for it.

00:09:07.628 --> 00:09:11.010
I mean she didn't have much defense whatsoever.

00:09:11.010 --> 00:09:20.471
I mean she literally admitted to beating him with a ball bat about his hands and his head when he was trying to escape with the holes that she left for his fingers.

00:09:20.471 --> 00:09:24.149
For the zipper it took the jury only 90 minutes to decide.

00:09:24.149 --> 00:09:28.225
Fingers for the zipper it took the jury only 90 minutes to decide.

00:09:28.225 --> 00:09:31.457
And the minimum she could get out of this is 22 years and the max is life without the possibility of parole.

00:09:31.457 --> 00:09:41.102
If she'd have took that plea bargain I assume 15 do 7 1⁄2, she would have been out within the next 2 1⁄2 years 2 1⁄2 years is what I'm thinking.

00:09:41.143 --> 00:09:44.467
yeah, with good behavior, which I'm sure she was a model prisoner.

00:09:44.467 --> 00:09:47.071
I mean the way she wrote that was pretty decent.

00:09:48.153 --> 00:10:03.148
Yeah, it was really good and it got her an attorney to jump on board and you know she really what's the word I'm looking for Was like oh, this is a national case, it's nationally televised.

00:10:03.148 --> 00:10:06.354
This is like free advertisement for you.

00:10:06.900 --> 00:10:07.966
Well, she wasn't bullshitting.

00:10:07.966 --> 00:10:10.489
I mean, she got our attention and everybody else's attention.

00:10:12.121 --> 00:10:13.508
She got the world's attention.

00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.506
Yeah, she sure got some attention.

00:10:16.506 --> 00:10:26.870
But anyway, moving on sentencing, for that is coming up shortly here, so we will give you an update on that and see what she's really going to get.

00:10:26.870 --> 00:10:31.068
But now we're going to move on to the YSL trial.

00:10:31.068 --> 00:10:37.344
Coming out of Atlanta, and unless you've been in Iraq or don't follow anything, this has been a pretty hot case for a while now.

00:10:39.145 --> 00:10:52.476
So the trial started in January of oh, I'm sorry, it started in November of last year.

00:10:52.476 --> 00:11:15.349
So this trial has been going on for right at a year now.

00:11:15.369 --> 00:11:18.495
A trial that has taken a year and they um it took them 10 months to decide the jury in this case.

00:11:18.515 --> 00:11:19.859
It's a big rico case down in georgia with ysl, young slum.

00:11:19.859 --> 00:11:20.419
What is it slime life?

00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:27.354
yeah, I know one of the guys on the stand said it was young, stoner life young, street life young.

00:11:27.354 --> 00:11:33.932
He had all kinds of explanations for it, but basically he was just trying to make it like that it wasn't a specific gang.

00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:42.172
Yeah, and YSL started as a record label for this guy named Young Thug.

00:11:42.513 --> 00:12:02.389
Young Thug for this guy named Young Thug Young Thug and a whole bunch of people follow him around that area because he blew up real big in music and what I think it is is you know, he's popular, he's got money and all these people follow him.

00:12:02.389 --> 00:12:10.528
You know he could kind of be looked at like an influencer plus a big musician and these people started following him.

00:12:10.528 --> 00:12:17.533
But other people that he knew were out there committing crimes and fighting with other gangs.

00:12:17.533 --> 00:12:39.548
And then people said the DA said that they're having all these shootouts and a gang war but the only people on trial is the YSL gang corporation, whatever you want to call it.

00:12:39.548 --> 00:12:42.585
I mean I've watched this trial for a few weeks.

00:12:42.585 --> 00:12:54.270
I mean I've watched this trial for a few weeks and I haven't seen any evidence that Would incriminate Jeffrey Williams.

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:56.764
Now, good old Fannie Willis.

00:12:56.764 --> 00:12:59.971
All this, the prosecution team, is under Fannie Willis.

00:12:59.971 --> 00:13:01.886
I'm sure you guys have heard of Fannie Willis.

00:13:01.886 --> 00:13:06.511
She was the one that wore the dress backwards and it had something to do with the Trump.

00:13:08.081 --> 00:13:17.129
Yeah, she brought up the RICO charges on President Trump and then she brought up this Rico case.

00:13:17.129 --> 00:13:25.490
I think Trump's trial had 18 co-defendants and then this one had like 28 plus.

00:13:26.921 --> 00:13:28.868
There's a lot of good rappers that come out of Atlanta.

00:13:28.868 --> 00:13:33.128
I mean I listen to everything.

00:13:33.269 --> 00:13:34.292
Jermaine Dupri.

00:13:35.883 --> 00:13:37.970
I listen to everything music-wise.

00:13:37.970 --> 00:13:42.644
I like to say I like everything from here's a Quarter to 50 Cent, and I made that shit up.

00:13:42.644 --> 00:13:43.825
It's pretty damn good.

00:13:43.825 --> 00:13:48.975
You know, I looked up on my Apple Music deal and I tried to listen to some of his music man.

00:13:48.975 --> 00:13:54.964
I don't know if it's just New Wave or if it's Atlanta-style rap, but I wasn't really too into it, or if it's Atlanta-style rap, but I wasn't really too into it.

00:13:55.904 --> 00:14:02.428
I guess he started music back in 2013, 14.

00:14:02.428 --> 00:14:04.669
I never knew who he was before this trial.

00:14:04.850 --> 00:14:09.113
He's got good beats though good music, but this trial has been a joke.

00:14:09.113 --> 00:14:12.034
There's one guy that's involved in it.

00:14:12.034 --> 00:14:13.076
His name's Woody.

00:14:13.076 --> 00:14:15.717
We watched quite a bit of his testimony.

00:14:15.717 --> 00:14:16.860
It was very comical.

00:14:17.221 --> 00:14:18.104
What you mean.

00:14:18.144 --> 00:14:21.072
What you mean, what you mean, what you mean and everything.

00:14:21.072 --> 00:14:22.261
When they asked him a question.

00:14:22.261 --> 00:14:24.748
I don't recall, I don't recall, I don't recall.

00:14:24.748 --> 00:14:29.508
The prosecution has just made a joke out of the Atlanta judicial system.

00:14:29.508 --> 00:14:31.796
In my opinion, it's just been a circus.

00:14:31.796 --> 00:14:36.440
One of the, and it's just been a circus.

00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:44.043
One of the defense attorneys, brian Steele, was actually arrested for speaking his mind.

00:14:44.043 --> 00:15:11.634
Judge Glanville put him in contempt of court because he wouldn't tell some information that he had learned, because they had some secret meeting with the state and you know that's not allowed during the middle of trial and they tried to coerce a witness to testify when he wanted to plead the Fifth Amendment and there's been prosecution misconduct.

00:15:11.634 --> 00:15:35.394
You know, when they're stating laws to the new judge because the old judge got kicked off the case, they are misrepresenting what the laws mean and the judge has caught them several times lying and being dishonest and misleading.

00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:39.591
Oh, Young Thug must have some money, because Brian Steele probably ain't a cheap lawyer.

00:15:39.591 --> 00:15:42.129
He's one of the top defense attorneys that I've heard of.

00:15:42.129 --> 00:15:58.744
And the thing is, if you watch this trial, if you watch any portion of this trial, and then you go back and watch portions of the Karen Reed trial or any case that's been the Murdaugh trial, everything seems to be so professional in a courtroom, but this courtroom is just.

00:15:58.744 --> 00:15:59.486
It's a joke.

00:16:02.706 --> 00:16:03.899
A three-ring circus.

00:16:03.899 --> 00:16:07.691
I can't even wrap my mind around it.

00:16:10.682 --> 00:16:12.849
You can't say one thing about Young Thug man.

00:16:12.849 --> 00:16:14.679
He's got a hell of a wardrobe.

00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:19.432
I bet I've seen a quarter million dollars worth of outfits come through that courtroom.

00:16:19.432 --> 00:16:20.702
It's every single day.

00:16:20.702 --> 00:16:24.352
Every week a different hairdo, every day a different outfit.

00:16:24.352 --> 00:16:29.460
I think they even tried to tell they had to make these guys tone down the outfits.

00:16:29.460 --> 00:16:35.711
We can't just host a thousand new outfits for you guys every day their closet wasn't big enough.

00:16:35.711 --> 00:16:36.638
Yeah, the day their closet wasn't big enough.

00:16:36.638 --> 00:16:38.102
Yeah, the jail's closet wasn't big enough.

00:16:38.102 --> 00:16:39.907
I could only imagine.

00:16:39.988 --> 00:16:53.388
But yeah, he does look pretty spiffy in there you know why they have them come in dressed in like professional wear is because the jury is not supposed to know whether or not, if they are incarcerated or not.

00:16:53.388 --> 00:17:04.413
So that's why they have to dress up for court, even though most of them no, I think all of them all the defendants in this trial are incarcerated right now, and they have been for a few years.

00:17:04.413 --> 00:17:07.523
But the jury's not supposed to know that.

00:17:07.785 --> 00:17:19.319
And that's a big thing, because that's why this trial has been on, basically pause for a couple of days, because one of the guys that was testifying let it slip a couple of times.

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:25.900
I think it was a post through X or something that said free Quay, free quay, yeah, and they're.

00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:36.955
And they schooled him about not to say stuff like that, because it's basically let the jury know, or putting the mindset to the jury, that these guys are criminals already.

00:17:37.381 --> 00:17:38.443
They did that.

00:17:38.443 --> 00:17:43.480
But what they did is they had something redacted on a screen.

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:52.914
Well, the district attorney handed him a piece of paper and when she handed him the piece of paper he started reading off it.

00:17:52.914 --> 00:17:56.691
Well, whatever he said was not redacted.

00:17:56.691 --> 00:18:01.506
When he said free quay, it wasn't redacted on that piece of paper, even though it was on the screen.

00:18:01.506 --> 00:18:06.769
But that was her fault for handing him a piece of paper that had information on there that it shouldn't have been.

00:18:06.769 --> 00:18:11.311
So it wasn't really his fault, because she even said is there a hashtag?

00:18:11.311 --> 00:18:13.606
And then he was like free quay.

00:18:13.606 --> 00:18:19.784
And she was like freak way, and she was like like oh my God.

00:18:19.784 --> 00:18:21.867
And then one of the lawyers motioned for a mistrial.

00:18:21.867 --> 00:18:26.340
I think there've been like 80 to 90 motions for mistrial.

00:18:26.340 --> 00:18:28.464
It's every day.

00:18:29.086 --> 00:18:39.272
It's almost every day you see them motion for a mistrial, but the prosecution just seems like they're making this case up literally day by day.

00:18:39.272 --> 00:18:41.407
There's days that they don't have witnesses ready.

00:18:41.407 --> 00:18:43.307
There's days that they really don't have shit to do.

00:18:45.102 --> 00:18:49.932
And they got sent to retraining on Brady evidence.

00:18:50.619 --> 00:18:51.644
The prosecution did.

00:18:52.421 --> 00:18:58.005
Yeah, because you know how you have to turn things over to the defense, even if it's going to help them.

00:18:58.005 --> 00:18:59.529
The Brady law.

00:18:59.711 --> 00:18:59.951
Right.

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:06.651
Well, they weren't turning stuff over and the judge made them go to training.

00:19:06.651 --> 00:19:17.492
The whole district attorney side made them go to training In the middle of this trial for that, to make them learn about that.

00:19:17.753 --> 00:19:18.434
That's crazy.

00:19:18.434 --> 00:19:21.807
I mean, the judge got in the prosecutor's ass.

00:19:21.807 --> 00:19:23.151
One day let's play that clip.

00:19:23.151 --> 00:19:26.528
And, like Julie said, this is Paige Whitaker.

00:19:26.528 --> 00:19:36.373
She is the second judge that's presided over this case and Adrian Love is the main prosecutor that's in the courtroom all the time.

00:19:36.373 --> 00:19:42.231
Well, this is Paige Whitaker giving Andrea Love a piece of her mind.

00:19:44.060 --> 00:19:57.799
You represented at the bench that none of this, that being the writing on the right side of the picture, which we're all squinting at because it's tiny on the piece of paper, which we're all squinting at because it's tiny on the piece of paper.

00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:11.900
And so I am relying upon you to actually be honest with the court and opposing counsel so that we can deal appropriately with the evidentiary issue.

00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:23.833
Was any of it being offered for its truth?

00:20:23.833 --> 00:20:32.305
You drew the witness's attention to the phone number and tried to have the witness testify to whose phone number it was.

00:20:32.305 --> 00:20:35.573
If that is not offered for the truth, what is it?

00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:36.760
Your Honor.

00:20:36.760 --> 00:20:39.871
It explains what steps he next took.

00:20:39.871 --> 00:20:45.208
It wasn't that he sat there and took this phone number and said, okay, this is Justin Cobb's phone number.

00:20:45.208 --> 00:20:49.920
He went and sought records based on what he saw on this social media post.

00:20:50.300 --> 00:21:15.703
So it's not, this post can't prove anything, but I do expect that the witness will testify based on what he saw, regardless, because this is legitimate why can't you just add the bench when you know that the reason you're offering it is for the phone number, and then to ask the witness other questions about what he did based on that phone number and seeing that phone number say to everybody, so that we know what we're dealing with.

00:21:15.703 --> 00:21:17.750
You know it's this phone number.

00:21:17.750 --> 00:21:27.500
Now I'm going to ask him xyz about the phone number and then we'll know what we're dealing because my understanding that what was being objected to was not the phone number, was the comments.

00:21:27.540 --> 00:21:30.346
That was the comment, was the words your honor.

00:21:30.346 --> 00:21:37.349
And again, this piece of evidence does not prove anything as anybody would be able to say.

00:21:37.349 --> 00:21:47.612
But when he saw this on Justin Cobb's page, or a picture of Justin Cobb next to what he believed to be Justin Cobb's handle, he sought additional information.

00:21:47.612 --> 00:21:50.234
The entire process.

00:21:50.234 --> 00:21:51.616
I'm sorry, what?

00:21:51.616 --> 00:22:03.480
I mean, that is included within what you're now calling comments, all of them just being, and I asked at the bench what comments they were asserting was hearsay, your Honor.

00:22:04.020 --> 00:22:08.653
I literally asked at the bench is any of this being offered for its truth?

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:14.553
And your Honor, it's being offered to explain DDA Sprinkle's actions that he took.

00:22:14.553 --> 00:22:20.701
Explain DDA Sprinkles actions that he took.

00:22:20.701 --> 00:22:23.067
Next, your Honor, these records have been collected as part of what he did in this investigation.

00:22:23.067 --> 00:22:30.690
He was asked on cross-examination did he take particular steps to corroborate what was given to him in certain interviews?

00:22:30.690 --> 00:22:34.962
That was the preceding question before I asked him about this particular post.

00:22:34.962 --> 00:22:47.836
So the state intended and intends to introduce the records that DDA Sprinkle produced or obtained after seeing this post.

00:22:47.836 --> 00:22:51.685
This post can't suffice to prove that that is Justin Cobb's number.

00:22:51.685 --> 00:23:04.394
This post only explains why DDA Sprinkle got the number and why it was significant to him in this investigation where his steps and actions are being questioned.

00:23:05.361 --> 00:23:07.905
But you know, judge, we don't get there.

00:23:07.905 --> 00:23:16.327
I hear what the state's saying and it's disingenuous because we don't get to the second step, that they're talking about what records he procured and why he did what he did.

00:23:16.327 --> 00:23:24.007
Unless we go through the hearsay statement that's contained in the portion that I objected to, and the court is accurate.

00:23:24.007 --> 00:23:30.232
I was there and I asked for everything that was on the right side of the verb is to be.

00:23:30.232 --> 00:23:31.704
I said that that was hearsay.

00:23:31.704 --> 00:23:32.607
The state said it was not.

00:23:32.607 --> 00:23:43.692
It clearly is, because to ask him that specific question I mean, listen, none of us are obtuse, it is.

00:23:43.692 --> 00:23:44.493
It is what it is.

00:23:44.493 --> 00:23:50.099
I think that the state was disingenuous about it States being very slippery in regards to their response to the court's questions.

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:52.588
I think it's willful and I think a mistrial is appropriate.

00:23:52.588 --> 00:23:53.659
It's willful and I think a mistrial is appropriate.

00:23:54.261 --> 00:24:01.702
I can't figure out what it is, if it's disingenuous, if it is, that I mean.

00:24:01.702 --> 00:24:42.551
I don't want to malign the prosecutor standing in front of me right now, so I'm not going to say the possible things that it could be, but it is baffling to me that somebody with the number of years of experience that you have, time after time after time, continues to seemingly purposefully hide the ball to the extent you possibly can, for as long as you possibly can, and I really don't want to believe that it is purposeful.

00:24:42.551 --> 00:24:56.824
But honestly, after a certain number of times you start to wonder how it could be anything but that, unless it is just that you are so unorganized that you are throwing this case together as you try it.

00:24:56.824 --> 00:25:15.555
And I am sorry to say that, but this case is being made much more difficult for everybody because of the haphazard way in which it is being presented.

00:25:17.576 --> 00:25:18.016
Boy.

00:25:18.016 --> 00:25:19.836
There it is.

00:25:19.836 --> 00:25:21.978
I mean, she gave it to her.

00:25:21.978 --> 00:25:27.641
This is a judge talking to a head prosecutor in the middle of a huge trial.

00:25:28.041 --> 00:25:29.461
In front of everybody.

00:25:29.903 --> 00:25:31.002
It's being televised.

00:25:31.002 --> 00:25:34.326
Everybody in Atlanta is watching this shit too.

00:25:34.326 --> 00:25:43.519
I mean, it's just basically the judge is saying either you're purposely trying to fuck this case up or you're just too damn stupid to be a prosecutor without saying that.

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:45.712
I mean she said it the nicest possible way.

00:25:46.266 --> 00:26:01.914
They have been so sneaky and conniving they are breaking all kinds of laws, trying to uphold justice for their selves.

00:26:01.914 --> 00:26:05.894
They just I think a lot of it's political too with Fannie Willis.

00:26:07.385 --> 00:26:25.053
Well, it just about has to be something political and, as you mentioned one time when we were watching this, I bet Fannie Willis has tried to get all of these guys that are involved in the Rico case on small shit here and there and they got the money to pay good lawyers like Brian Steele and they probably got out of a bunch of shit before.

00:26:25.053 --> 00:26:30.391
So they're just trying their best to get payback on them, to get them all once and for all.

00:26:30.391 --> 00:26:33.529
They're probably jealous because they're rich as hell and they're balling out.

00:26:34.125 --> 00:26:37.345
You know what I find is so crazy.

00:26:37.345 --> 00:26:48.356
What she's done is a lot of these okay, most of them, except for Jeffrey Williams, young thug.

00:26:48.356 --> 00:26:52.401
He don't have any felonies, he's never had a felony.

00:26:52.401 --> 00:26:58.569
He might have been in jail but I don't think he's ever been convicted of a felony.

00:26:58.569 --> 00:27:02.039
But all the other defendants you know some's been convicted of murder, robbery.

00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:05.307
The other defendants, you know some's been convicted of murder, robbery.

00:27:05.307 --> 00:27:07.252
I mean it's a plethora of crimes across a plethora of people.

00:27:07.252 --> 00:27:26.145
Not that they were committing these crimes together as an organization to further it, but they were all just committing crimes individually and a lot of them have been arrested and locked up and served their time for those crimes.

00:27:26.145 --> 00:27:41.374
But here they are again using these crimes for proof of the rico crime, so kind of double jeopardy in a way, but slapping rico on of it.

00:27:41.374 --> 00:27:43.479
So it's a new charge.

00:27:43.945 --> 00:27:57.059
And for those who don't know what RICO stands for so the RICO Act is Racketeer, influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

00:27:57.705 --> 00:28:02.654
I knew it had something to do with organized crime, but to be honest, I wasn't exactly sure what it stood for either.

00:28:03.945 --> 00:28:05.593
A lot of this is gang crime.

00:28:05.593 --> 00:28:08.924
I don't think it's necessarily organized crime.

00:28:08.924 --> 00:28:17.619
I don't think they're all doing it as this gang YSL to further that necessarily.

00:28:17.619 --> 00:28:30.157
I think they all follow the YSL trend or lifestyle or whatever it is, but I don't think the crimes committed are for that.

00:28:30.157 --> 00:28:38.335
I think the people are just dumbasses and out committing crimes, and some of them have been pretty bad crimes.

00:28:38.335 --> 00:29:04.738
But Fannie Willis is trying to smack them all together and she's trying to pin it on one person and that's the big music artist, uh, young thug trying to say that he's the head of the snake, he's the big fish and all he's really ever done is help people out whenever they needed it, gave him a record deal, put him on and right, and then it's not like the first time this shit's happened.

00:29:04.805 --> 00:29:06.813
I mean, you look at Master P and his family.

00:29:06.813 --> 00:29:11.329
If they was going to do like a Rico thing, they probably could have got them along the way with a gang of shit.

00:29:11.329 --> 00:29:17.635
Yeah Well, Master P's in Louisiana and this is all in but Seabird is his brother and-.

00:29:18.818 --> 00:29:25.825
Yeah, and she's like oh, she's taking their lyrics of their songs and using it against them in the court of law.

00:29:25.825 --> 00:29:31.953
They're saying oh well, this crime happened and you rapped about this, so obviously that's a confession.

00:29:32.345 --> 00:29:39.584
Well, damn near every rapper in the game should be on trial for charges, if that's the way to put it.

00:29:39.724 --> 00:29:40.487
Yeah, gangster rap.

00:29:40.507 --> 00:30:00.517
They're all talking about smashing bitches and killing people for their dope spot shit it's wild, it's wild out there there is a lot to this case and we're gonna keep checking this in and out for you on the daily um.

00:30:00.517 --> 00:30:06.893
Right now we want to get to the main trial that we've been following at the moment, and that is the Richard Allen trial.

00:30:06.893 --> 00:30:08.517
It's about the Delphi murders.

00:30:22.057 --> 00:30:37.820
Now the Delphi murdersolved until a file clerk came across Richard Allen's interview and she decided to forward that to the detectives on the case.

00:30:37.820 --> 00:30:56.814
I think the prosecution had changed from the time that it had happened to the time that this file clerk found this interview and I don't know what was suspicious about it, but in her mind something was suspicious about it.

00:30:56.814 --> 00:31:13.097
Detectives, they had a single unspent bullet from the crime scene and they said that that matches a gun that Richard Allen had, and that is how they arrested him.

00:31:13.097 --> 00:31:21.012
Now the victims in this case were 14-year-old best friends, abby Williams and Libby German.

00:31:21.012 --> 00:31:27.890
They had went to the Monom Bridge for a walk or to hang out and they went missing.

00:31:27.890 --> 00:31:34.279
Her dad showed up to pick the girls up and they weren't there.

00:31:36.785 --> 00:31:37.164
No, they weren't.

00:31:37.164 --> 00:31:38.165
Sadly, they were found deceased.

00:31:38.165 --> 00:31:40.548
They had both been murdered and sadly, they were found deceased.

00:31:40.548 --> 00:31:41.688
They had both been murdered.

00:31:41.688 --> 00:31:52.435
Now, this has been a really big case, especially around our area because we're based out of Indiana as well and I'm sure it's been a big case throughout the nation.

00:31:52.435 --> 00:32:03.482
It is the case where they call the suspect the bridge guy because one of the girls had recorded, actually took a couple of pictures of a guy walking on a bridge.

00:32:03.482 --> 00:32:14.298
The guy looks like he has a blue jacket on blue jeans and there's also an audio recording of somebody saying down the hill, down the hill.

00:32:14.298 --> 00:32:19.753
This trial is 10 days in.

00:32:19.753 --> 00:32:22.053
It seems to be moving pretty fast.

00:32:22.053 --> 00:32:24.000
His trial is 10 days in.

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:25.204
It seems to be moving pretty fast.

00:32:30.988 --> 00:32:37.339
But from the beginning of this case, I have sincerely had my doubts about Richard Allen being guilty of this crime.

00:32:37.339 --> 00:32:45.644
I don't think that he is guilty at all and I don't think that he'll ever get his life back, and I don't think that Abby and Libby's families are going to get justice.

00:32:45.644 --> 00:32:52.818
And I just want to talk real quick about some things that we learned throughout this trial so far.

00:32:52.818 --> 00:32:59.478
Now Libby took a photo of Abby on the bridge and posted it to Snapchat that day.

00:32:59.478 --> 00:33:13.730
Libby crossed the bridge first, looked back and saw a man following abby, so she decided to record and I think I believe that's where they got the um videos on her phone.

00:33:13.730 --> 00:33:20.087
The man told them now this is what the prosecution is saying the man told them to go down the hill.

00:33:20.087 --> 00:33:22.634
The girls complied and the video cut off.

00:33:22.734 --> 00:33:29.515
The search for the girls was suspended at approximately 2 am and resumed at 6 am.

00:33:29.515 --> 00:33:32.705
Libby was found nude, covered in blood.

00:33:32.705 --> 00:33:34.911
Her throat was cut in several places.

00:33:34.911 --> 00:33:38.298
There was blood on the ground and on the nearby tree.

00:33:38.298 --> 00:33:45.378
Abby was wearing her own underwear and shoes, but no socks and libby's shirt and jeans.

00:33:45.378 --> 00:33:51.749
So the girls were like reed one was naked and one was dressed in some of the other's clothes says.

00:33:51.749 --> 00:34:03.635
The rest of the girls clothes were found in deer creek but for one shoe and libby's phone, which were found under abby, there was an unspent 40 caliber winchester bullet between the two girls.

00:34:03.635 --> 00:34:13.739
They they took libby's phone, uh, for processing and they recovered the photos and videos of of the bridge guy.

00:34:13.739 --> 00:34:24.960
Now witnesses came forward and so far the three eyewitnesses have all said that the guy that they seen did not look like Richard Allen.

00:34:26.346 --> 00:34:30.157
First of all, richard Allen was not on the police's radar at all.

00:34:30.157 --> 00:34:40.496
I think his name got going into the case in the investigation is he had said that he was walking on that trail that day.

00:34:40.496 --> 00:34:49.396
He wanted to go just look at nature and to his testimony or his interview, he said he wanted to watch the fish in the creek.

00:34:49.396 --> 00:34:57.038
Now, him and his wife was later watching a newscast and they saw the murders of the two girls.

00:34:57.038 --> 00:35:01.376
And Richard Allen had told his wife, hey, I was out there that day walking across, walking around there, and she said, well, maybe you should go tell the sheriff.

00:35:01.376 --> 00:35:06.853
So Richard Allen had told his wife, hey, I was out there that day walking across, walking around there, and she said, well, maybe you should go tell the sheriff.

00:35:06.853 --> 00:35:17.657
So Richard Allen went down there and was like, hey, I was down there that day and if you know, pick my brain and I'll tell you everything that I saw or anything.

00:35:17.657 --> 00:35:20.273
So he was actually trying to help him out to begin with.

00:35:21.605 --> 00:35:29.190
That's what happened and for some odd reason, I really don't see how it all got turned around.

00:35:29.190 --> 00:35:46.447
And you know, what kills me is even the eyewitnesses are saying that this guy was 5'10 and looked to be in his 20s or his 30s, and Richard Allen was in his 40s and he's short, he's 5'4".

00:35:46.467 --> 00:35:47.471
He's a serviceman.

00:35:47.471 --> 00:35:50.894
He did time protecting our country and the Army and the National Guard.

00:35:50.894 --> 00:35:54.293
I believe he was a manager at CVS.

00:35:54.293 --> 00:35:56.873
Literally no criminal record at all.

00:35:56.873 --> 00:35:59.592
They owned a nice brick home.

00:35:59.592 --> 00:36:05.474
They had nice vehicles Just a seemingly average Joe.

00:36:08.226 --> 00:36:16.679
What makes this case so messed up is that we sit here and say that we don't think he did it.

00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:25.965
But for people who haven't followed this trial, they don't know that he's confessed to killing these girls.

00:36:26.447 --> 00:36:27.291
He has confessed.

00:36:27.291 --> 00:36:39.148
But they also moved him to a really nasty prison here in Indiana instead of housing him at the county jail where the crime happened at, and you could just imagine how he's been treated there.

00:36:39.148 --> 00:36:46.130
Now if, by all means, if he is guilty of this crime, then he deserves every bit of everything everybody's ever gave him.

00:36:46.130 --> 00:36:52.653
But I think we all know how they treat child molesters and child murderers and rapists in prison.

00:36:52.653 --> 00:37:00.572
I mean, even the guards were mistreating this man who knows the lengths of the torture that he went through.

00:37:00.572 --> 00:37:03.998
So I don't really personally believe.

00:37:03.998 --> 00:37:18.693
I haven't personally heard the confessions that he talked about, but I think the dude if you look at pictures of him before incarceration, I mean the dude has dwindled away to nothing and he's lost literally everything he has.

00:37:18.693 --> 00:37:23.516
His wife basically had to go into hiding, sold everything they had.

00:37:25.626 --> 00:37:30.797
They've lost completely everything from him going up there to try to help, in my view.

00:37:30.797 --> 00:37:39.572
But he has confessed and they are going to allow these confessions to come out in court and let the jury decide on what they think.

00:37:39.572 --> 00:37:42.757
But they also had him on medication.

00:37:42.757 --> 00:37:48.213
He was losing his mind, going crazy, and they had the police coming in there.

00:37:48.213 --> 00:37:56.565
They had the guards coming in there and what was weird is that he only made these confessions when he was in Westville Correctional Facility.

00:37:56.565 --> 00:38:00.373
At any of the other places he was at, he never confessed to anything.

00:38:00.373 --> 00:38:11.918
It's just at this one correctional facility that his lawyers begged to get him moved out of and they wouldn't do it.

00:38:11.918 --> 00:38:13.420
That judge would not move him.

00:38:13.420 --> 00:38:18.557
But there's been evidence lost in this case.

00:38:18.557 --> 00:38:24.376
Key witness interviews are gone forever and they didn't even write down the names of the people they interview.

00:38:28.268 --> 00:38:38.532
We've been following this trial every day and you know they said that it was a super, super bloody crime scene, which is heinous in itself.

00:38:38.532 --> 00:38:43.371
But they tested his jacket he wore that day, his boots that he wore that day.

00:38:43.371 --> 00:38:57.219
Granted, it's been five years between the crime and the testing, but they have not found any DNA of these girls in his car that he drove, any of his clothes, his home.

00:38:57.219 --> 00:39:03.195
They went through everything with a fine, fine tooth comb now speaking of dna.

00:39:04.396 --> 00:39:12.838
Um, as of like a week ago, law enforcement was still scrambling because there was a hair found in abby's hand.

00:39:12.838 --> 00:39:16.489
It was wrapped around her fingers and had a a root on it.

00:39:16.489 --> 00:39:19.032
Dna was extracted from it.

00:39:19.032 --> 00:39:26.101
The analysis testified that the hair might be from a relative of Libby.

00:39:26.101 --> 00:39:29.375
How would it be wrapped around her finger when they're all out there?

00:39:29.375 --> 00:39:34.826
It's not Libby's hair, it's not Abby's hair, it's a female hair, it's not.

00:39:34.826 --> 00:39:36.110
Richard Allen's hair.

00:39:36.552 --> 00:39:38.570
Might be, though when do they get the might be from?

00:39:38.644 --> 00:39:39.307
Seven years later.

00:39:39.307 --> 00:39:40.813
