[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Content warning, this episode includes discussion of domestic abuse,
[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: violence, and murder.
[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_03]: So welcome to today's cheat sheet.
[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you so much for tuning in.
[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to be recording this a little bit early
[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_03]: due to the Delphi hearing on Friday of this week.
[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So if there's any developments that happen in the meantime,
[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_03]: we do apologize, but we are recording this on August 20th.
[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to be talking about five cases today,
[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_03]: four traditional homicides or at least possible homicides,
[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and then one death case that was so unusual
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_03]: that we felt we had to talk about it
[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_03]: even though it's not a traditional murder.
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_03]: So in Michigan, there's a huge update on a case
[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_03]: we covered in a previous cheat sheet.
[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_03]: In Texas, we have developments that have happened
[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_03]: in Anita Byington's case,
[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_03]: which is a case we covered in-depth
[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_03]: with Anita's cousin, Christina, and the Innocence Project of Texas.
[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_03]: In Hawaii, there is a soldier who has been accused in his wife's death
[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_03]: in California.
[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Arrests have been made in yet another case
[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_03]: we covered on a cheat sheet.
[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And in Florida, a death case occurred
[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_03]: that ended up embroiling a very, very powerful company
[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_03]: in some controversy,
[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're going to raise some troubling questions about what that means.
[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_03]: My name is Ania Cain.
[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm a journalist.
[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm Kevin Greenlee.
[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm an attorney.
[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is the murder sheet.
[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_02]: We're a true crime podcast focused on original reporting,
[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_02]: interviews, and deep dives into murder cases.
[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_02]: We're the murder sheet.
[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_03]: And this is the cheat sheet,
[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_03]: allergies and anhydrous ammonia.
[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_03]: So this first case is a listener recommendation.
[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And my source for this is WTOL,
[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_03]: which has been doing some great local coverage of this situation.
[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_03]: So in December of 2023, we covered the case of D Warner.
[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_03]: This was a 52-year-old business woman
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_03]: worked in her own trucking company.
[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_03]: She was married to Dale Warner.
[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_03]: And she lived in Tipton, Michigan, in Lenawee County.
[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And it all was not well in her life though,
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_03]: because family told news media that they suspected
[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_03]: she was being abused by Dale Warner.
[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And then on April 24th or 25th, 2021, she vanished from her house.
[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So she was never seen again alive at that point by anyone else.
[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_03]: So the Lenawee County Sheriff's Office came in
[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and they also asked for help from the Michigan State Police and the FBI.
[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_03]: So all these different agencies are working on it.
[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_03]: 2023 in November, her husband, Dale Warner,
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_03]: is arrested and charged with both her murder
[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_03]: and tampering with evidence.
[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_03]: He pled not guilty and got a $15 million bond.
[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so where are we now?
[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, there's been a huge development.
[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_03]: On August 16th, 2024,
[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_03]: law enforcement went out to two properties that Warner owns.
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And they found a tank on his Paragon Road property
[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_03]: in a very secluded area.
[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_03]: And there were remains in that tank.
[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Human remains.
[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_03]: This is an anhydrous tank to hold anhydrous ammonia.
[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And according to family, speaking with WTOL,
[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_03]: the tank was empty of ammonia.
[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And just to give you some background,
[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_03]: this is a common gas made of nitrogen and hydrogen.
[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Hydrogen in agriculture, it's a very, very efficient fertilizer.
[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And you can just inject it straight into the soil,
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_03]: but it has to be stored in these special steel containers.
[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: And we'll include a link to the helpful explainer, WTOL,
[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_03]: did about everything you need to know about that.
[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_03]: But apparently the body was put in this tank.
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_03]: The tank was re-welded.
[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_03]: The tank was painted over.
[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And what family sources and police sources told the news
[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_03]: was that this discovery did not come from a confession
[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_03]: from Dale Warner or any sort of tip.
[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Law enforcement just did not give up looking for D.
[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_03]: And as of our recording at this moment,
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't believe that it has been confirmed officially
[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_03]: that it is her body.
[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_03]: But the family obviously believes that they are.
[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think that is a pretty reasonable assumption
[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_03]: to make in this situation.
[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_03]: An autopsy is scheduled for today actually on Tuesday.
[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_03]: But I'm sure we'll hear more back later on,
[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_03]: but this is just a development to let you know.
[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, this is a case where authorities felt
[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_03]: that they could go ahead with murder charges regardless.
[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_03]: But the fact that a body has now been found
[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_03]: welded into a tank on this man's property,
[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_03]: obviously that's a pretty big deal.
[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_03]: What do you think is a lawyer in that situation?
[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the legal term is indeed big deal.
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Big deal.
[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_03]: There you go.
[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So this obviously further strengthens the strong case.
[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And like you agree, like the fact that they,
[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean people often, I think like overdo the whole
[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_03]: like no body stuff.
[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_03]: If it's a no body case and there's no evidence
[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_03]: that a crime happened, that can be a problem.
[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_03]: But if there's a no body case and there's other evidence
[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_03]: indicating something was wrong then.
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Here is the thing to keep in mind with no body cases.
[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It is obviously more difficult to prove
[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_02]: a murder has been committed if there is no body.
[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So what that means though is the prosecutors are generally
[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: more reluctant to pursue those cases
[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_02]: unless they have even more evidence
[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_02]: than just a really strong case to overcome that.
[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And so because of that,
[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_02]: when prosecutors reach the decision to yes,
[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_02]: there's no body in this case,
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_02]: but we have the evidence to go forward,
[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_02]: those cases have a much higher rate of conviction
[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_02]: than other cases because they only go forward
[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_02]: if they are very, very strong in order to overcome
[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: the perceived deficit of not having a body.
[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely well said.
[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to move right along to Texas now.
[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_03]: All of the cases I picked for this week are updates,
[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_03]: which is kind of nice to see because it's nice
[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_03]: to get developments and check back in on these cases
[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_03]: that we covered and sort of let you know
[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_03]: what's going on right now.
[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_03]: And this is a case that you and I really delved into.
[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_03]: This is the murder of Anita Byington,
[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_03]: a Texas case that's occurred in Austin, Texas.
[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Anita was 21 years old and on August 10th, 1991,
[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_03]: she was on a weekend trip with her friends and relatives
[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and it went horribly wrong.
[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And in this situation,
[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_03]: it's a very complicated legal matter,
[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_03]: but we're going to delve into it.
[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_03]: After sort of separating from her friends,
[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_03]: her body was found the next morning
[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_03]: at the Spring Creek Apartments.
[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_03]: She was still clothed,
[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_03]: but she had been beaten possibly
[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_03]: with a concrete rain diverter
[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_03]: and died of very severe head trauma.
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Early suspicion fell on the man she was last seen with,
[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_03]: a man named Kevin Harris.
[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_03]: He claimed that they had had consensual sex,
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_03]: but obviously he's the last man seen with her.
[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_03]: They kind of separated from the rest of the group
[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_03]: because she was supposed to drive him somewhere
[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_03]: that's suspicious.
[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_03]: But then another suspect came up,
[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_03]: a man named Alan Andre Cosi known as Andre.
[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_03]: He came up to the crime scene early on,
[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_03]: made odd comments,
[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and then when he was asked to go into police,
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_03]: he started giving conflicted stories
[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_03]: until he up and confessed to killing Anita,
[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_03]: saying that a drug deal had gone bad with Harris,
[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_03]: or at least he referred to Harris as a black man,
[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_03]: but saying Anita had been there with a black man,
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_03]: a drug deal went wrong.
[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_03]: The guy ran away leaving her
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and that Cosi and his friend
[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and soon to be brother-in-law,
[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Bobby Harrell subsequently killed Anita.
[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_03]: He claimed that she was beaten,
[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_03]: including with a belt buckle,
[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_03]: which seems to be consistent
[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_03]: with the forensics of the scene.
[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Now Harrell, his alleged conspirator,
[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_03]: or his alleged co-accomplice,
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_03]: or what, you know,
[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_03]: the man who killed Anita with him,
[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_03]: he never confessed and was never tried,
[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_03]: but Cosi ended up going to trial
[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_03]: and the jury found him guilty.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_03]: He was convicted and sentenced to 50 years,
[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_03]: he served 31 years,
[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_03]: and then in October 2022,
[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_03]: he was released on parole.
[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Now Cosi's supporters
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_03]: say his confession was either coerced
[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_03]: or just false,
[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_03]: and that that was the crux
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_03]: of the innocent project of Texas's crusade
[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: to get him exonerated.
[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_03]: This is not a situation
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_03]: where they were trying to get him
[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_03]: out of prison,
[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_03]: he was already out,
[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_03]: but they wanted his record exonerated,
[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_03]: basically, like a wrongful conviction nonetheless.
[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's what they were advocating for for him,
[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and it went up against in the court
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: of the honorable Chantal Eldridge,
[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and there were several grounds
[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_03]: for relief that they brought to her.
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_03]: One, actual innocence.
[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Two, saying that witness Kevin Harris lied
[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_03]: and the state sort of sponsored
[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_03]: that and benefited from it.
[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Three, the Austin Police Department officers
[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_03]: in the case provided materially false testimony.
[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Four, there was withholding of Brady evidence,
[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_03]: and that was around the Austin Police Department
[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: homicide units pattern
[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_03]: of getting false confessions from people,
[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_03]: and then there was a fifth one that was waived.
[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: So Judge Eldridge ruled in Cosi's favor
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_03]: on grounds two, three, and four
[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_03]: for what I'm reading here,
[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_03]: but she ruled against them
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_03]: on the actual innocence bit.
[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So these are grounds for relief,
[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_03]: so my understanding is that this will then go
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_03]: to the appeals court,
[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and it would be grounds for he should be exonerated
[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_03]: because of these things.
[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_03]: And so she's saying you can go ahead
[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_03]: with some of these technical issues around
[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_03]: witnesses being problems around,
[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_03]: police being problems or whatever.
[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_03]: That all you can go with,
[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_03]: but she denied it on the grounds of actual innocence.
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that fair to say?
[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, what do you make of that?
[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, I think that's very vindicating for
[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Christina Byington who's been advocating
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_03]: for Anita since in the sense that she's saying,
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know that this guy is innocent.
[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I want more evidence to prove that.
[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_02]: She's really made a difference in this case
[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_02]: through her advocacy,
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's really been a pleasure for us to get to know her.
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_02]: We will enjoy having her on the program.
[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we did.
[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_03]: But we also got the Innocence Project of Texas's view,
[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_03]: which is that he's innocent and they're going to advocate.
[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's kind of interesting to get both sides, but
[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_03]: the not rule,
[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_03]: basically declining or kind of saying,
[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to say he's factually innocent.
[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_03]: That does seem like a bit of a blow to him on that sense.
[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_03]: But it still allows him to go forward and say,
[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_03]: well, but these other issues were a problem.
[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_03]: So it should be overturned on those grounds.
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that?
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_03]: How are you reading it?
[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to read a little bit from her ruling
[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_03]: because I think it's interesting and kind of has some more details.
[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_03]: If that's okay.
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Please do.
[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_03]: It's okay.
[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_03]: So this is all a quote, quote.
[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: To establish he is entitled relief,
[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_03]: applicant must show that one, newly discovered evidence,
[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_03]: two, constitutes affirmative evidence of innocence,
[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_03]: and three, by clearing convincing evidence,
[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_03]: no rational juror would have convicted him
[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_03]: in light of the newly discovered evidence.
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Newly discovered evidence clearly inculpates Kevin Harris
[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_03]: in the murder of Anita Beigenton.
[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: The parties have established beyond a reasonable doubt
[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: that Kevin Harris was at minimum
[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_03]: party to the murder of Anita Beigenton.
[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_03]: However, the parties have not established
[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_03]: by clearing convincing evidence
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_03]: that Kevin Harris acted alone
[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_03]: in the murder of Anita Beigenton.
[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Forensic pathology indicated Beigenton was beaten
[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_03]: with both concrete rain diverter
[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and an item that appeared to be consistent
[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_03]: with a belt buckle, suggesting multiple assailants.
[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_03]: The parties have established
[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_03]: that one section of applicants confession was false.
[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_03]: The portion where applicant claimed
[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_03]: to have moved Beigenton's car.
[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_03]: The parties have not established
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_03]: that applicants confession in total was false.
[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_03]: While the case against applicant
[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_03]: was has significantly weakened
[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_03]: over the course of habeas litigation
[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and disregarding his questionable confession,
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_03]: some inculpatory evidence against applicant
[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_03]: remains in the record.
[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Specifically, a resident of the apartment complex
[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_03]: where Beigenton's body was found
[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_03]: informed law enforcement investigators
[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_03]: that they heard a woman's voice screaming for help
[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_03]: followed by two unintelligible male voices.
[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Applicant acted suspiciously
[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_03]: in the hours following the murder,
[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_03]: including repeatedly driving slowly
[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_03]: by the crime scene after law enforcement had responded,
[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_03]: repeatedly looking at the place
[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_03]: where the body had been found
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_03]: as he was driving by.
[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Applicant parked in the apartment complex lot,
[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_03]: approached a crowd of neighbors,
[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_03]: an unprompted, volunteered, I didn't kill her.
[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Applicant claimed to the group of neighbors
[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_03]: that he found the body and called the police.
[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Another resident of the apartment complex
[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_03]: was the initial 911 caller
[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_03]: who found and reported Beigenton's body.
[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_03]: A neighbor described applicant
[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_03]: as acting nervous and strange
[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_03]: when he was stopped by the group of neighbors.
[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_03]: At booking, applicant was very upset
[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_03]: and stated I was with him but didn't kill nobody.
[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_03]: While the newly discovered evidence
[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_03]: inculpates Kevin Harris,
[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_03]: it does not constitute affirmative evidence
[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_03]: of applicants innocence.
[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Applicant is not established by clear and convincing evidence
[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_03]: that no rational juror would have convicted him
[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_03]: in light of the newly discovered evidence.
[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Applicant has not met his burden
[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_03]: of proof to establish actual innocence
[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_03]: under Herrera and Elizondo.
[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Relief on ground one should be denied.
[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_03]: On the basis of the above findings and conclusions,
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: the court hereby recommends
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: that relief be granted in part
[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_03]: consistent with the court's prior findings.
[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: End quote.
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_03]: So she's going into detail about
[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_03]: what is problematic about Kauzi's conviction
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and then what is perhaps something
[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_03]: that they didn't quite get to.
[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And what she's saying is
[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_03]: while portions of the case against Kauzi
[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_03]: have been significantly weakened,
[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_03]: there are still questions remaining for her
[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_03]: about whether he could have been involved at all or not.
[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And so therefore she's not going to grant that
[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_03]: on those grounds but she has granted it on others.
[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's definitely a mixed bag for everybody
[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_03]: but certainly I imagine again gratifying for
[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_03]: those in Anita's family who do believe he's guilty
[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_03]: but it still also offers Kauzi a way to move forward.
[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's definitely interesting.
[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_03]: But I wanted to give everyone an update on that.
[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for doing so.
[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to quickly mention another case that's ongoing.
[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_02]: For some reason, I'm not even sure why.
[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I sort of arbitrarily decided
[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_02]: we need to cover more Hawaiian cases.
[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is a case out of Hawaii
[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_02]: and our source for this is the Honolulu Star Advertiser.
[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And it involves a woman named Misha Johnson, 19 years old.
[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_02]: She is married to private first class Duane Johnson
[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_02]: and he is in the military in Hawaii
[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and he's stationed at the Schilfeld Barracks out there.
[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Misha is pregnant.
[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_02]: She and she went missing.
[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_02]: She was last seen in her home at Schilfeld Barracks on July 31st.
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_02]: The Army is offering a $10,000 reward for her.
[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Any information that can lead authorities to her?
[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, she is six months pregnant.
[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh man.
[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_02]: So a pretty serious matter and the big recent development
[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_02]: in this case is that the husband Duane Johnson
[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_02]: has recently been quote detained.
[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I take that to mean he's in some sort of pretrial detention
[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_02]: or pre-charging detention.
[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_02]: So there may be reason to suspect that he did something to this woman.
[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Meanwhile, the Army is very interested
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_02]: in getting information about her.
[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And if by chance any of you listening
[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_02]: happen to have any knowledge of this,
[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: you can reach out to the Army at 808-2008-0057.
[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_03]: It's so horrifying.
[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so glad you picked this case, Kevin,
[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_03]: because this is something that the amount of domestic violence
[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_03]: that even pregnant women suffer is just terrifying.
[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_03]: These are some stats from the National Coalition
[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_03]: against Domestic Violence.
[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So they say that 50 to 75% of women who were abused
[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_03]: before pregnancy are abused during their pregnancy.
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_03]: So being pregnant is not some sort of reprieve for them
[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_03]: when it comes to dealing with domestic violence.
[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And up to 20% of pregnant women in general
[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_03]: experience violence during their pregnancy.
[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So obviously that causes so much harm to the baby
[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and to the woman experiencing this.
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And then when it comes to pregnant homicide victims,
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_03]: 77% are killed very early during the pregnancy
[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_03]: so in the first trimester.
[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_03]: So obviously that would not be the case
[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_03]: if that is unfortunately the outcome here.
[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's just when it comes to who's at a greater risk factor,
[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_03]: it's women with unplanned pregnancies
[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and adolescents who become pregnant.
[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a horrifying reality,
[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_03]: but it's something that I think people should know about.
[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_03]: The more we all know about domestic violence,
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_03]: the more we're able to help intervene,
[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_03]: to help protect people who are experiencing that
[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and help try to make it so that this is not something
[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_03]: that people have to continue facing.
[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_03]: So I guess another update?
[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So it can leave Hawaii and head back to California.
[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_03]: So my source for this is ABC7.
[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I previously spent an episode geeking out
[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_03]: about General Hospital, a long-running American soap opera
[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_03]: that I love and is near and dear to my heart.
[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_03]: But there was very sad news regarding that show recently,
[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_03]: a 37-year-old actor from General Hospital named Johnny Wachter.
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_03]: He played character of Brando Corbin
[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_03]: and was on the show from like 2020 to 2022.
[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_03]: But on May 25th, 2024,
[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_03]: he and a coworker were leaving work
[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_03]: at a rooftop bar in Los Angeles.
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: It was very early in the morning.
[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_03]: They were on around Hope Street in Pico Boulevard.
[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And they came upon three people who were stealing
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Johnny's car's catalytic converter.
[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_03]: At first, they thought they were towing it,
[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_03]: so they didn't like, they were just like,
[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_03]: wait, what's going on?
[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And by the time they realized what was happening,
[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_03]: it was too late.
[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_03]: But just a little side note, catalytic converters,
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_03]: that's the part of your car where
[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_03]: it's about exhausted mission control.
[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not a car person.
[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I had to look this up.
[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I have no idea what I'm talking about.
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_03]: But I guess it makes the exhaust gas less toxic.
[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And one thing that makes them a huge target for thieves
[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_03]: is that they are chock full of very precious metals,
[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_03]: including platinum.
[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_03]: So thieves will literally like take tools
[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_03]: and get your catalytic converter off of your car
[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and steal it.
[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's become a huge problem,
[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_03]: like throughout the country.
[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Not all, it doesn't always lead to violence,
[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_03]: but in this case, unfortunately,
[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_03]: it did because after being confronted,
[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_03]: one of these three ended up
[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_03]: shooting Johnny.
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_03]: He was shot in the chest
[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_03]: and he died at the hospital later on.
[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: But I'm very happy to announce
[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_03]: that after months of searching,
[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_03]: the police have made three arrests in that case.
[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_03]: They arrested 18-year-old Robert Barcelot
[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_03]: of Huntington Park,
[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_03]: as well as 18-year-old Sergio Estrada
[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and 18-year-old Leonel Gatirez
[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_03]: of Los Angeles County.
[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_03]: And they've all been arrested for murder.
[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, so we can talk about that in a second,
[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_03]: but 22-year-old Frank Alano
[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_03]: was also arrested as an accessory to the crime.
[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_03]: He's from Englewood.
[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_03]: So there's been four arrests.
[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think if this is a situation where
[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_03]: you might be wondering why are they all charged with murder
[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_03]: if only one of them shot him?
[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_03]: We could be seeing something like a felony murder case here.
[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you want to explain what that is?
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: A felony murder case is basically the rule
[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_02]: which states that if you are involved
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_02]: in the commission of certain criminal acts,
[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_02]: certain types of felonies
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: that are so inherently dangerous
[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_02]: that a person could reasonably expect someone to die
[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_02]: as a result of that felony.
[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_02]: If you were involved in such a felony
[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_02]: and if indeed someone does die
[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_02]: in the commission of that felony,
[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_02]: you could be charged with murder
[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_02]: even though you did not kill that person yourself.
[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_02]: The classic example would be
[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: if Ania and I are involved in a bank robbery.
[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm the getaway driver.
[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I pull up, she goes into the bank
[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_02]: and while robbing the bank,
[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: she shoots a guard and the guard dies.
[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I could also be charged with the murder of that guard
[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_02]: because I should have realized
[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_02]: that the act of robbing a bank is so dangerous.
[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: That something like that could have happened.
[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And my understanding is that in California,
[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_03]: theft of a catalytic converter
[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_03]: in most cases would qualify as grand theft,
[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_03]: which is a felony.
[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Now I don't know if your opinion is different.
[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know that grand theft always counts
[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_03]: as a violent, inherently dangerous felony.
[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_03]: But in this case, obviously if they were packing heat,
[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_03]: then there was the possibility
[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_03]: that someone could get murdered.
[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm just glad that there might be some resolution
[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_03]: on the horizon in that situation
[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and we'll be curious to see how it all turns out.
[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, these men are innocent until proven guilty,
[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_03]: but it's certainly, I think from what we saw,
[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_03]: the reaction from Johnny Wachter's friends and family,
[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_03]: they're certainly happy that there have been arrests made.
[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So are we ready for this other one?
[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this is going to be something a little different.
[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_03]: We should preface it.
[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_03]: So we both followed this case separately, I think.
[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_03]: We just sort of saw it separately
[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're just like haunted by it.
[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's not a traditional murder,
[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_03]: but it does involve some very interesting legal wrangling.
[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's an interesting court case.
[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And it happened in the state of Florida.
[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And I stress that because Florida,
[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_02]: for whatever its strengths and weaknesses might be
[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_02]: in your mind, they have incredible laws
[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_02]: giving wide access to court papers and court documents.
[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_03]: You can beat the heat if you beat the charges too.
[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_02]: What?
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what Taylor Swift said.
[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Never mind, don't go ahead.
[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_02]: What are you talking about?
[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_03]: We're talking about Florida,
[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_03]: so I got the Florida song in my head.
[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_03]: It's from... Just move on.
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Because of these open record laws
[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_02]: and sunshine laws in Florida,
[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_02]: very easy to get court documents.
[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was able to get a bunch of the court documents
[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_02]: in this case.
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I wish more states were like Florida in that respect.
[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I wish Indiana was more like Florida.
[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I wish everywhere was like Florida
[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_03]: when it comes to their excellent sunshine laws.
[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_02]: So this involves a man named Jeffrey Piccolo.
[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_02]: He and his wife and his mother
[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_02]: are on some sort of a vacation trip to Florida
[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_02]: at a Disney resort.
[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And while they're there,
[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_02]: they go to a restaurant called Raglan Road
[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_02]: and they talk to the waiter there
[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and they indicate that Mr. Piccolo's wife
[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_02]: has some pretty severe food allergies.
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And she can only eat food
[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_02]: that doesn't have any of these allergens in it.
[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And the waiter promises no problem,
[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_02]: no problem at all.
[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_02]: We can serve you food
[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_02]: that doesn't have these allergens.
[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_02]: That's not an issue.
[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_02]: They still express some concerns.
[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_02]: The way to goes back checks with the chef
[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_02]: and the chef further guarantees this food is safe.
[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So the meal is served.
[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_02]: They all eat it afterwards.
[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Jeffrey goes back to his room.
[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_02]: His wife and his mother-in-law are going to go shopping.
[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_02]: They end up separating for at least briefly
[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_02]: to go to separate stores.
[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And then unfortunately,
[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Mr. Piccolo's wife begins suffering an allergic reaction
[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_02]: to some of the food
[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_02]: because the assurances of the waiter were not valid once.
[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And there were some allergens in the food
[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_02]: and she is rushed to a hospital where she dies alone.
[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So her name was Dr. Kanakporn Tangsuon
[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_03]: who also went by Amy.
[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_03]: So that is incredibly tragic.
[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_02]: She dies alone.
[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't even imagine what she had to be going through
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_03]: in that moment
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_03]: but also what her family has gone through since.
[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_03]: That's just a horrifying story.
[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a horrifying story.
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And so now Mr. Piccolo has filed a lawsuit
[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_02]: against Disney for this
[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_02]: because this restaurant was on Disney's property.
[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And so this raises,
[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_02]: well first of all,
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_02]: it's some sources said he was suing for $50,000.
[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: He actually was suing for more than $50,000.
[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_02]: The actual language of the lawsuit said
[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_02]: he was suing for an amount over $50,000.
[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's kind of just a jurisdictional thing.
[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_02]: If you want your case to be heard in a certain court,
[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_02]: you have to be asking for damages over a certain amount.
[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_02]: He wanted it in a certain court
[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_02]: so he indicated my damages over that amount.
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I just say that I'm not trying to be salty about this
[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_03]: but I feel like there is a real problem
[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_03]: with legal illiteracy amongst the general press
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_03]: because reporters are running around,
[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_03]: they're busy,
[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_03]: they're trying to file something quickly as possible
[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_03]: and they look at that and they say $50,000, got it.
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And then that's it.
[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And then that just gets in the bloodstream
[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and everyone starts repeating something that's not a fact.
[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And again, we're all capable of this.
[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not calling out any specific reporters.
[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a structural issue,
[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_03]: not one person being bad at their jobs.
[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But that's one thing that makes Florida so great
[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_02]: because you can actually go and look at the actual legal documents
[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_02]: available online and you can get the actual facts for yourself.
[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think it's important to stress
[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_02]: that a lawsuit like that were basically saying
[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_02]: we were promised that there wouldn't be allergens in the food,
[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_02]: allergens were in the food, my wife died.
[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And she died again, she died alone.
[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_02]: This was a woman who was loved and she died alone
[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_02]: because of what happened.
[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_02]: One of the reasons you file a lawsuit like this
[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_02]: is not just to make yourself whole
[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_02]: and not just to get damages for yourself
[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_02]: for what happened to this person you love,
[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_02]: but you would hope that this lawsuit would attract attention
[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and that maybe other people who own restaurants
[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_02]: will look at this and say we need to be more careful.
[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And you would hope maybe behaviors are changed and lives are saved.
[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is one of the reasons why I think people do file suits like this.
[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and letting other people, severe allergies know that
[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_03]: you can do everything right, you can check,
[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_03]: you can double check, everyone can check,
[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and it can still go badly.
[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So maybe assess your risks
[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and maybe consider not eating at a place
[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_03]: unless you're absolutely certain and you trust them completely.
[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And so the reason why we are talking about this
[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_02]: is because the Disney company filed a response to this suit saying,
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_02]: well, Mr. Piccolo cannot sue us in court
[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_02]: because years ago he signed up for a Disney Plus free trial subscription
[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and the fine print of that says that if you have any problems with Disney
[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_02]: from here on out, you have to settle them with arbitration.
[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And also he bought a ticket to Epcot which had some similar language.
[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And just the idea that all of us sign up for things where we don't read the fine print,
[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_02]: all of us do that whether it's Disney Plus or what have you.
[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And so the idea that there is something in that fine print
[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_02]: which would cause you to lose valuable legal rights for the rest of your life,
[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that strikes most people as being outrageous.
[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_03]: dystopian.
[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is, it's a stupid argument and it's an offensive argument.
[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a sort of argument that makes people hate lawyers.
[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And it shocks the conscience and it's also for a variety of reasons,
[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_02]: it's not a very good legal argument.
[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_02]: For one reason, let's a rare non-serial example involving Anya.
[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's say Anya years ago in that dark period of her life before she met me,
[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_02]: before murder sheet existed, she made some sort of a contract where she gave up a certain right.
[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, years past she meets me, we create the murder sheet,
[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_02]: she represents half of the murder sheet.
[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Could you argue that Anya is representative of the murder sheet,
[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: gave up a right years ago when she just representing herself signed a contract?
[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think you could because of the time she signed the earlier contract,
[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_02]: murder sheet didn't exist.
[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And at the time, Mr. Piccolo agreed to this free streaming subscription,
[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_02]: he was not yet the representative of his wife's estate because his wife didn't have an estate.
[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Because she wasn't dead.
[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_02]: So how could he at that time have been giving up rights for an organization or for an entity
[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_02]: that did not yet exist?
[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't make any sense.
[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_02]: If you jump to the conclusion that yes, he did give up rights for the rest of his life
[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_02]: when he signed up for this streaming service,
[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_02]: then okay, I don't agree with you.
[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_02]: But at most he could only give up the rights that he was able to give up at that time.
[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And he was not the representative of the estate at the time.
[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's a stupid argument.
[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And there are other arguments about it too,
[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_02]: but I think that is the one that I personally found most compelling.
[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think this argument was doomed,
[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_02]: this argument by Disney was doomed to failure.
[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And in Mr. Piccolo's attorneys filed a pretty devastating rebuttal to that argument.
[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And now subsequently the Disney company has come out and said,
[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_02]: well, we care about people's humanity.
[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_02]: So we're just going to walk away from that streaming argument.
[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to forget about it.
[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think I mentioned earlier that one point of a lawsuit like this
[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_02]: from the plaintiff's point of view is we want to call attention to a problem.
[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_02]: We want to call attention to the problem
[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_02]: of people getting allergens in their food and passing away.
[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe behavior can change.
[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I think also from the defendant's point of view in this matter,
[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_02]: they also want to attract attention.
[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And they want you to realize that if you sue Disney,
[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_02]: they are going to do everything they can to make that experience as difficult for you as possible.
[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And they are going to require you to have to spend time in trouble
[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_02]: to answer ludicrous arguments.
[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Because yes, they did walk away from that argument,
[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_02]: but they waited until after the plaintiff had already prepared
[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_02]: and filed a lengthy rebuttal to it.
[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So they were going to lose the argument anyway.
[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So they don't deserve any credit for that.
[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, people think, oh, it's a backlash.
[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's why they're finding their humanity again.
[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_03]: But they've already wasted this man's time and money.
[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Corporations are not your friend.
[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And they want you to realize that if you sue Disney,
[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_02]: you're going to have to spend time in trouble responding
[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_02]: to ridiculous arguments like this that wouldn't hold any water.
[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's where things stand there.
[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to ask you about one thing.
[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_03]: This is getting into the weeds a little bit,
[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_03]: but I know I'm sure people will.
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Disney has a lot of very, very intense fans,
[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_03]: people saying online.
[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, Disney did not own specifically this pub where Amy was exposed to allergens
[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_03]: and then later died this raglan road pub.
[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It's owned by these entrepreneurs who are then operating in Disney.
[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Can you explain why that's not really relevant?
[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_02]: That's an interesting argument.
[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And there is some wiggle room there.
[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_02]: The argument from the plaintiff side would be,
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_02]: well, they were operating there with the express control of Disney,
[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_02]: with express authorization of Disney.
[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So there's like an agency thing.
[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So Disney would still be responsible.
[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously the Disney side would try to argue otherwise.
[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's enough.
[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_02]: If they wanted to make that argument and say,
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_02]: well, we shouldn't be responsible, it should just be their restaurant.
[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I'd find that argument compelling,
[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_02]: but it would certainly seem more valid and made in good faith
[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_02]: as opposed to what they actually did do.
[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_03]: What they did do just sounds like something out of a horrifying dystopian novel to me.
[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, why?
[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess I was surprised because I certainly don't,
[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I certainly realized that these multinational corporations are not your friend
[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and will do whatever they can in order to not give up any money to you
[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_03]: because they don't want to set some sort of trend there.
[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_03]: But this is a, I'm looking at their market capitalization right now.
[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_03]: They're at $162 billion.
[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_03]: This is a drop in the bucket for them.
[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_03]: So you might be wondering why take the PR hit when it comes to this
[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_03]: because they've gotten a lot of backlash for it.
[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Because I think a lot of people had my reaction where that's horrifying.
[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_03]: So I like, I check yes on the Apple terms of service.
[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_03]: So then an iPhone truck can run me over while the driver's drunk.
[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's fine because I said I would go to arbitration no matter what.
[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Like what?
[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But if your company, if you want people to be signing up to Disney Plus
[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_02]: to watch the latest Star Wars show or whatever,
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_02]: you don't want stuff like this out there because it's going to make them think, well maybe.
[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Mickey Mouse will be allowed to come to your house and kill your whole family.
[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_03]: It's what you signed up for bud.
[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, what?
[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, but I guess, you know, it seems like they're trying to be too cute by half.
[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_03]: But I guess like are you-
[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a bad argument.
[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It was going to fall.
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you, do you think that they just didn't anticipate getting this much of a backlash
[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_03]: though?
[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you think they thought no one was watching?
[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Because it does seem like a pretty bold argument to make from a marketing perspective.
[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they care.
[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, they don't care.
[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you're right.
[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_03]: They don't care.
[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, people, you know, a few days of online outrage that is then quickly forgotten will
[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_03]: be not, not that much of a problem for such a huge company.
[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_02]: We're upset about it now.
[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure a month from now there'll be fresh outrageous for us to be upset about.
[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's like, it doesn't really hurt them and it just drags out a lawsuit longer.
[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And if you make lawsuits against you as hard as possible to win and fight,
[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_02]: you're gonna have fewer lawsuits against you because there may be other people out there
[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_02]: who may think they have grounds to sue Disney for some reason and they look at things like this
[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_02]: and say, I can't afford this.
[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that's very important to stress because I think sometimes people just say, well,
[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_03]: why doesn't this person just sue them?
[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like that is not just a thing you wake up and do.
[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_03]: It's very expensive.
[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Most honest lawyers will tell you that if you can avoid a lawsuit, if you can file in a lawsuit,
[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_03]: you'll be better off because it is very difficult, time consuming, energy draining, money draining.
[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a mess.
[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Most people simply can't afford to hire an attorney or law firm to handle complex
[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_02]: several litigation.
[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_02]: So for the average person, most of these lawsuits would only be taken on what's called a contingency
[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_02]: fee basis where a lawyer would say, well, you don't want to pay me only a limited amount now or
[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_02]: maybe pay me nothing now.
[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_02]: But afterwards after we win and settle, I'll get a percentage of that.
[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And lawyers might be less inclined to make an arrangement like that if they realize,
[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_02]: well, I'm going to have to work hundreds and hundreds of hours
[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_02]: responding to frivolous arguments in order to get anywhere with this case.
[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So just a way to discourage lawsuits.
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.
[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Well said.
[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, I think that's important to know it's not a murder, but it's still an interesting death
[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_03]: case.
[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_03]: And it kind of shows you some of the legal wrangling that can occur that maybe does
[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_03]: not come to most people's minds when they think of something like this.
[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_03]: So I guess we're out of the informational portion of the show.
[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think now it's time for a very special time for Kevin and I to discuss our T-shirt
[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_03]: business that we've started together.
[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_03]: And these shirts, folks, are just beautiful examples of craftsmanship.
[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_03]: You're going to love it.
[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_03]: They have the words, murder sheet people on them because I think if you buy them,
[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_03]: you're definitely a murder sheet person, definitely a person who listens to the murder
[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_03]: sheet and supports the murder sheet with merch.
[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And they're very nice, very well printed.
[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And this time I'm going to tell you where to actually get them.
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_03]: That is at murdersheetshop.com.
[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_03]: That's M-U-R-D-E-R-S-H-E-E-T-S-H-O-P.com.
[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And you'll see that they're just they're nice.
[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_03]: They pair.
[00:40:24] [SPEAKER_03]: We saw some people in our Facebook group talking about them.
[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, do these things shrink?
[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Are they terrible?
[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I was like, oh geez, what are they going to say?
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_03]: But they all said they're true to size and they don't shrink and they're just nice
[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_03]: shirts that frankly I think a lot of people who bought them have had good things happen
[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_03]: in their lives.
[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So kudos to you because we've gotten a lot of comments for the weeks when Anya does
[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_02]: the ads, sales always plummet and people say we feel Anya doesn't want us to buy the shirts.
[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_03]: That was perhaps my favorite comment in our Facebook group of all time.
[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_03]: One person said that, well first of all I think it's your favorite comment because one person
[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_03]: said that Kevin was carrying the show, the carrying the murder sheet because of his
[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_03]: his his t-shirt sales on the cheat sheet.
[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And Kevin has been quoting that all week.
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_03]: He's very proud of this.
[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_03]: He keeps saying his back hurts because he's tired of carrying the show.
[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_03]: So just know that to that person you created a lot of delight on his part.
[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, this is better from you.
[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I'd like to see a little bit more enthusiasm.
[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, okay.
[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And you have only choice.
[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_02]: What do these shirts look like?
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_02]: They don't just have words on them.
[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Word salad, like a legal filing.
[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_03]: No, they have the murder sheet people on them and then in the background is our
[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_03]: podcast logo and it looks pretty great.
[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_03]: The colors came out really well.
[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Kind of that classic.
[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_02]: When you say it has murder sheet people on it, it's not like a picture of you and me.
[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like Mount Rushmore but with our faces.
[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's like the words murder sheet people.
[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And an image and an image but not of us.
[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I think you're over complicating this.
[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I think they get that and if they want to look for themselves,
[00:42:11] [SPEAKER_03]: they can go to murdersheetshop.com.
[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_02]: An image of the shirt will be displayed.
[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you envision us ever doing a shirt with our faces on it?
[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And no context, no words.
[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Just your face and my face.
[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_03]: That would be so creepy.
[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that would look...
[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I think an image of you on the shirt would be great.
[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd buy that shirt.
[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_03]: So just me.
[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_03]: So then people will be like, wow,
[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Onya really lost in this being super self-aggrandizing.
[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_03]: She pushed Kevin out of this shirt opportunity.
[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_03]: People will get a bad vibe.
[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_03]: People will get a bad vibe from me if we just do my face.
[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_03]: That would just look insane.
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Mega Lemaniac.
[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And also you say we started a t-shirt business?
[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I like...
[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Do we have a t-shirt business?
[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_03]: You're giving me notes right now?
[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just trying to be...
[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_02]: We're just trying to help each other out here.
[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So critical.
[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_02]: We're among friends.
[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh my God, I can't win.
[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I pulled out all the stops with that ad.
[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It was your best one yet.
[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_04]: It's my best one yet, so I'm getting better.
[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_02]: So I started with the praise,
[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_02]: but then I'm letting you know that I think you can do better.
[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Things I could do better.
[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_02]: But see, I specify that about we don't really have a t-shirt business because...
[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_03]: We have a t-shirt business.
[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Earlier this week, we were talking with a friend
[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_02]: and based on what you were saying about this,
[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_02]: they thought we were putting the t-shirts in our basement.
[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And we don't do that.
[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_03]: We don't even have a basement.
[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And second of all, in the business of selling t-shirts,
[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_03]: we have a t-shirt business.
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, there's a lot of t-shirts in our house
[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_03]: that we're trying to offload,
[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_03]: so I feel like we have a t-shirt business.
[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't say that!
[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Trying to get them out of here,
[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_03]: no, I'm just kidding.
[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it's a valuable product.
[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_02]: We have t-shirts that we're offering as a service to the public.
[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_02]: We're not trying to offload them.
[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I think your ad is getting worse and worse.
[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know what? That's your fault.
[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Have a good weekend, everybody.
[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_02]: We're going to stop before Anya makes it even worse.
