Speaker 2: bombshell week where the panel watched graphic freak off videos

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,280

Speaker 2: Lisa Babin, at their Harris County home. A deputy with

34
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: the Harris County Sheriff's Office spoke to ABC thirteen news.

35
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: They located a sixty one year old female in the

36
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960

38
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: a local hospital, where she remains in serious condition. Investigators

39
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: quickly uncovered the alarming truth from Robert Babin's own words.

40
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: Shortly after the assault, he allegedly messaged a gaming buddy quote,

41
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: I just assaulted my mother with a hammer. I got angry.

42
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. I can't go to

43
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: prison end quote. In a desperate bid to evade justice,

44
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: he reportedly added, quote, I have to get rid of

45
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: the hammer and destroy the evidence before the police get here.

46
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to end up on death row end quote.

47
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: His friend promptly alerted authorities. Upon arrival, Babin initially feigned ignorance,

48
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: telling police he had left his mom napping to run

49
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: an errand. He was swiftly arrested and booked into the

50
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: Harris County Jail. At his bond hearing, Babin's court appointed

51
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: attorney argued for a lower bond, citing his client's lack

52
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: of criminal history and describing him as a quote high

53
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: functioning person with autism end quote. Bond was set at

54
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Robert Babin faces up

55
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: to twenty years in prison. The motive remains under investigation. Nancy.

56
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Thanks Jennifer More in Crime and Justice News after this.

00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: Texas man just discovered he's been secretly married to his

59
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: ex girlfriend, who allegedly filed a marriage certificate without his

60
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: knowledge after they had already broken up. Biston Marie Spearman,

61
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: thirty six, of Waco, now faces a felony stocking charge

62
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: following the astonishing deception. The bewildered forty two year old

63
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: man contacted Beverly Hills Police after finding a seemingly innocent

64
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: bath and Bodyworks gift bag left by his ex. Inside

65
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: a shocking revelation awaited a picture of Spearman holding what

66
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: appeared to be a marriage license showing them married and

67
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: officiated by a local reverend, alongside an actual copy of

68
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: a marriage certificate that had been officially filed with the

69
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: mcclennan County Clerk's office. Beverly Hills Police Chief Corey Martin

70
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: spoke to Fox forty four.

71
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't think in twenty three years, I've ever heard

72
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: of anybody who managed somehow to get married to someone

73
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: who wasn't present for a ceremony.

74
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: According to police, the couple had indeed obtained a marriage

75
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: license honor about June's second platting a wedding. However, they

76
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: subsequently had a significant argument and broke off their relationship.

77
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: Despite the clear breakup, investigators alleged Spearman quote convinced the

78
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: reverend to certify the victim and Kristen in the holy

79
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: union of matrimony without the knowledge of the victim and

80
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: his required presence end quote. This audacious act effectively married

81
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: the man without his consent or attendance. Spearman was arrested

82
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: at her home near Hewitt and booked into the mcclennan

83
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: County Jail, where she is being held under a ten

84
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bond. And finally, talk about a steaming hot mess.

85
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: A queen's granny's European cruise turned into a blistering nightmare

86
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,480

87
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: agony right into her lap. A Mara Herbo seventy eight

00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: a Mara gotta jaw of a jolt from an excessively

91
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: hot coffee spill, leaving her with severe burns and scars.

92
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: And this wasn't just a minor brew haha either. The

93
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: couple claims it ruined their entire two week British Isles crews,

94
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 2: leaving them quote unquote room bound for lawyers serving up

95
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,119
