1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: My name is Nigel Jason Hammer right over there with

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: a very special in studio.

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: Guest, Ryan Hedrick from the WIBC newsroom, has been doing

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: just a phenomenal, just kick ass job covering this Mark

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: Sanchez story, all the angles of it. Ryan, we were

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: talking about this earlier today and a lot of new

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: updates here. First of all, before we get into any

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: conversation pieces here, what are the updates in this story?

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: All right? So the updates in the stories. Obviously, Mark

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: Sanchez is being sued by the guy that he beat

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: up behind the West And so I just want to

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: take you back a couple of days ago, I walked

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 3: along that street south o Sage Street between Maryland and

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: West Washington Street, just to get a visual about how

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: it could have happened and how far Mark Sanchez had

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: to walk after he was being stabbed. And I told

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: Nigen the gun guy on Monday, that Mark Sanchez had

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: to walk about three quarters of a football field after

19
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: being stabbed in that little bay behind the Weston to

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 3: get onto West Washington. So I reached out to the

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: Marion County Prosecutor's office with seven questions that I thought

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: were really important to this story.

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: And I asked NYE yesterday and I was listening to

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: that break. I was off that day, and that was

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: a phenomenal update that you gave. Do we have any

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: clue as to why Mark Sanchez was in the alley yet?

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: No, we don't. And as I told them on Monday,

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,639
Speaker 3: you know, I went to some bars around the area

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: to ask if he had been drinking there. Nobody in

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: their right mind is going to admit that Mark Sanchez

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: was in the bar getting drunk. I mean, we don't

32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 3: even know if he was at an establishment getting drunk,

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: but we do know that he is still her. We

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: believe he's at the hospital. In fact, as of about

35
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: eleven thirty am yesterday, he was still being treated at

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: Eska Nazi. Here's the one thing that really piques my curiosity.

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: So no booking photo, there's no booking photo of this guy.

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: And why he's still in the hospital, Well because he

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: paid a three hundred dollars bond in his hospital bed

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: and was pretty much kicked out electronically. Once he paid

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: that bond on the misdemeanor charges, he was set free

42
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: until the prosecutor's office filed additional charge of felony battery

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 3: against him on Monday.

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: So Mark Sanchez three hundred bucks basically bought his way

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: out of having a mug shot right pretty much.

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: And the big story with that felony charge is once

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: they charged him with the felony, they didn't need to

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: get the court's permission to tack additional charges on because

49
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: he had not appeared in court yet. That's how that works,

50
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: So before the court date, they can throw any additional charges.

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: But if they were to have had him sit in

52
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: front of a judge, they would had to have gotten

53
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: some type of permission to tack on additional charges.

54
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: Now, you were telling me before we went on the air,

55
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure if this is privileged information or not.

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: You tried to call Mark Sanchez.

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: Did try to call Mark Sanchez. I still believe. Well,

58
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 3: that's a little secretly keep between us because I don't

59
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: want them to shut down the website. But I do

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: believe that I reached Mark Sanchez at a at an

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: area code that is located in his hometown of Dana Point.

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: He owns about a two million dollar mansion in Dana Point,

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: which is which is in southern Orange County, California. So

64
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: I do believe it was him. Of course he said

65
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: it wasn't. Uh, but but I still believe that that

66
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: he is in Indianapolis, and I believe it's too bad,

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: too badly injured to leave the city right now.

68
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: Did you call his lawyer?

69
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: I did call his lawyer. Reached his lawyer. Als, Yeah,

70
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: in London. Now he's represented by a few people, he

71
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: has a team of people, but Voyles is actually in

72
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: Loon handling the Alex Plow case. And he said, you know,

73
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: I'm not going to talk to you because I would

74
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: never I would never do that, and I'm not going

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: to talk to you after the case either. He told

76
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: me that as well.

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: Chatting with Ryan Hedrick from the WIBC newsroom. We had

78
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: the story earlier that I believe the victim now in

79
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: this the sixty nine year old man has been released

80
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: from the hospital now recovering at home. You mentioned earlier

81
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: he's filing charges against not only Mark Sanchez, but his employer,

82
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 2: Fox Sat lawsuit.

83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's filing a lawsuit against against Sanchez, and I'm

84
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: not sure what the culpability Fox Sports has, but I

85
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: did email the attorney. Now. The attorney's name is Eric

86
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: May and he has three firms. He's working for a

87
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: firm that has three locations, including Bloomington and Indianapolis. I

88
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: reached his paralegal in Indianapolis, sent her an email and

89
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 3: she has not responded, and I had five questions for her.

90
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: He's making the media circuit now, so we're telling people, Yeah,

91
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the damages they're seeking. That was

92
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: one of my questions, Right, how much money are you

93
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: guys seeking? And was there a settlement attempt before you

94
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: you filed this suit. I think that's a good question too.

95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: If they went to Mark Sanchez's attorneys and said, hey,

96
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: do you guys want to settle now or do you

97
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: want to settle later? Because I think that's what it's

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: going to come down to.

99
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: But even if they settled monetarily, I believe the prosecution

100
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: can still move ahead with charges.

101
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a civil I think that's a

102
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: civil thing. So I think there's two things going on here.

103
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: I think Sanchez is in trouble civilly, and I think

104
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: he's going to be missing millions and millions of dollars

105
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: after this. And he's definitely in trouble legally. Yes, Now

106
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: here's the main takeaway from the email to the Marion

107
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: County Prosecutor's office. My last question was, is there any

108
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: plea agreement on the table right now? Is there a

109
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: negotiation between the prosecutor's office and Mark Sanchez as its attorneys?

110
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: And Michael Leffler said no, there's nothing on the table

111
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: right now that would insinuate a plea agreement. So as

112
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: of right now, three misdemeanor charges and one felony charge.

113
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 3: That's what former quarterback Sanchez is facing.

114
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: Ryan, let's talk about the judge in this upcoming trial here,

115
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: Judge Jennifer Prinz Harrison. We believe she's handling both the

116
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: civil and the criminal cases in regards to Mark Sanchez

117
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: here based on the filings I see with my case.

118
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: She's been assigned to the pre trial conference. We talked

119
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: about this judge a little bit earlier in the show,

120
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: but I think it bears repeating. She's got a little

121
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: bit of a history here in the city.

122
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, she does it. And let's just go back to

123
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: like the whole state of Indiana. We are we're jaded

124
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: right by the Richard Allen trial because we didn't get

125
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 3: any transparency in that and Judge fran Gould did not

126
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: allow cameras in that state case. Here in the city,

127
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 3: it seems to be the same thing. Local media outlets

128
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: are already requesting the privilege of having a camera in

129
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: the courtroom, and she has shot down those requests as

130
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: far as I'm concerned, as far as I know, rather

131
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: and she's been I mean, we're looking at there was

132
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: a case in August where a man from Texas killed

133
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: somebody downtown in a hit run and he got a

134
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: large sentence that it was pleaded down with the rest

135
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: of the time to be served in Texas. I think

136
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: she shaved like sixteen years off his sentence.

137
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: I think that's And she was also the one that

138
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: gave the two year sentence for the triple fatal crash

139
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: of the guy going one hundred and forty miles per

140
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: hour that fled from the state police. This is who

141
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: we're talking about here, and if you look at her background,

142
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: she was appointed by Governor Holcombe. But it basically was

143
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: a twenty minute interview process and the main talking point

144
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: based on archives is she wanted to quote creative options

145
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: for sale, insane.

146
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: So soft on crime judge correct think we could takefully

147
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: assume There's also.

148
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: There was also a case I remember back at the

149
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: end of May where cops in Indy were called to

150
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: a home where a guy named Curtis Walker was threatening

151
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: a woman with a knife. She was the judge in

152
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: that case as well. And I seem to remember that

153
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: Rick Snyder was really angry after that sentence was handed

154
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: down because at some point he became a verbally or

155
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: physically confrontational with the police and lunched at the police.

156
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: And again the judge reduced his fine by two thousand dollars.

157
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: His first bond was eighty thousand dollars. It was reduced

158
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: by seventy eight thousand dollars. So we're talking about a

159
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 3: judge that seems to be, you know, siding with criminals.

160
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: Many of these low and no bond cases and time

161
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: served with no jail has got Judge Harrison's name all

162
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: over it. Right, You're and Marion County.

163
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: Right, And that's that's well documented over and over and

164
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: over again.

165
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: So Ryan, what are the next steps in the story here?

166
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: What are you going to keep working on?

167
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: So I am going to I'm going to email or

168
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: try to get in touch with Fox Sports, because I

169
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: think we haven't heard from them. We heard two times

170
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 3: during the Sunday broadcast, both at Lucas Oil Stadium and

171
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: during the pregame show that they were trying to wrap

172
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: their heads around the Sanchez stabbing. But we have not

173
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 3: heard definitively what Fox Sports is going to do. As

174
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: far as we know, he's on the payroll and they've

175
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: not taken him off. They have not even suspended this guy.

176
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: So I'm going to reach out to them. I'm going

177
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: to continue working with the with the victim's attorney to

178
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: see if we could get a public statement in some

179
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 3: kind of video, And then I want to know of

180
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: at some point Sanchez is going to be brought out

181
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: of jail and booked into the Marion County Jail for

182
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: a booking photo. I think brought out of the hospital,

183
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: right out of the hospital.

184
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, November fourth, I believe is his next court appearance,

185
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: if I understand this correctly.

186
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. The Marion County pro Secutors Office said

187
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: November fifth, and public reports say the fourth, So I

188
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: think we could surmise at some point in the first

189
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: week of November, we're gonna get to see Mark Sanchez,

190
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: presumably also real quick. I asked if it was going

191
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: to be a virtual conference or an in person and

192
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: they said, as far as they know, he's gonna appear

193
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 3: in person in court.

194
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: So yesterday on Instagram you could tell this was a

195
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: pre scheduled thing. Fox Sports has this segment where Mark

196
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: Sanchez would interview a quarterback around the league, and they

197
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: posted it yesterday. Who should appear with Mark Sanchez on

198
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: this week's chat? You should see the combents? Oh no,

199
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: how about the impd Wow?

200
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:41,480
