1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Crime or hourly update, Breaking crime news. Now we are

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: on Ditty Watch. That's right, the claw is ticking it down.

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: What do we expect to go down? In the courtroom?

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: Nancy Ditty's court appearance will be virtual later today a

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: remote hearing before Judge A Ruined Subremerian. This procedural session

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: is slated to begin at two pm Eastern and will

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: determine whether combs sentencing, currently scheduled for October three, can

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: be expedited. The fifty five year old Combs remains detained

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after being convicted

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: last week on two federal counts under the Man Act

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 2: for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution. He was

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: acquitted of racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking charges, avoiding potential

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: life sentences, but he still could face decades behind bars.

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: Prosecutors plan to seek a sentence of fifty one to

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: sixty three months, citing his mind in history, while the

16
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: defense aims for twenty one to twenty seven months and

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: argues for bail pending sentencing. In a letter to the court,

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: Comb's attorney says he wouldn't contact sex workers if released.

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: And proposed a one million dollar bond, home confinement, travel restrictions,

20
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: passport surrender, and drug testing. But prosecutors oppose bail, calling

21
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: Combs a danger in flight risk. They point to his

22
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: quote extraordinary temper and pass violent conduct, including assaulting former

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: partner Cassandra Cassie Ventura and a twenty twenty four incident,

24
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: asserting that clear and convincing evidence supports continued detention. Colmbs

25
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: has already spent ten months in custody since his arrest

26
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: in September twenty twenty four. If sentenced to the defense

27
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: recommended twenty one to twenty four months time served could

28
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: significantly reduce or eliminate additional prison time. Today conference will

29
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: also outline the pre sentencing process, including a Probation Office

30
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: interview and submission of sentencing memoranda. For Combs. It could

31
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: mark a turning point between months longer in detention or

32
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: a potentially earlier release ahead of his October sentencing.

33
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: Thank you more Criming Justice news after this.

34
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: A gunman armed with an assault rifle opened fire Monday

35
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: morning at a US Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas,

36
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: injuring a police officer before he was shot. And killed

37
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: by federal agents. Authorities have identified the shooter as Ryan

38
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: Luis Moscada, McCallan Police Chief Victor Rodriguez Sez. Muscada fired

39
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: dozens of rounds at agents and the building while wearing

40
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: a utility vest. After he was killed, law enforcement discovered

41
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: more weapons and munitions and backpacks he'd brought to the scene.

42
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: Responding McAllan police officer, a ten year veteran, was struck

43
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: in the knee. It's still unclear if the injury came

44
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 2: from a bullet or shrapnel. Police say Miskada had ties

45
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: to a Michigan address, but was reported missing from West Loca, Texas,

46
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: about an hour before the shooting. West Loka is roughly

47
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: twenty miles from the Border Patrol building. Investigators also recovered

48
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: Moscado's white two door sedan marked with letters, possibly in Latin,

49
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: on the driver's side door. Police say it's not yet

50
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: known what the markings mean or whether they point to

51
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: a motive. Chief Rodriguez says there's no ongoing threat to

52
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: the public. The FBI is leading the investigation into why

53
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: Miskada carried out the attack and whether anyone else was involved.

54
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: Three people are dead and ten others heard after gunfire

55
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: erupted at early Monday in South Philadelphia. Police say the

56
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: shooting broke out just before one am on a residential

57
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: block in the Grace Ferry neighborhood. All three of those

58
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: killed were adults. Among those wounded two juveniles. Police Commissioner

59
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: Kevin Bethel told reporters that numerous rounds were fired on

60
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: the street. Officers have taken one person with a weapon

61
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: into custody. Commissioner Bethel added that police had already been

62
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: called to the same block late Saturday night into early

63
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: Sunday morning, and arrest were made at that time, but

64
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: what triggered Monday morning's violence remains unclear. Bethel called the

65
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: shooters coward wanna be thugs. The deadly incident comes after

66
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: a violent Fourth of July weekend in the city and

67
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: across the country, including at least eight people shot near

68
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: a South Philadelphia nightclub. Police say the investigation into this

69
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: latest shooting is still ongoing. Alabama has scheduled a September

70
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: execution using nitrogen gas for a death row inmate convicted

71
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: more than two decades ago. Governor k Ivy has set

72
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: September twenty fifth as the execution date for nine year

73
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: old Jeffrey Todd West. West was sentenced to death for

74
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety seven killing of Margaret Parrish Barry, a

75
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: thirty three year old convenience store clerk. Prosecutor said West

76
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: drove to Harold Chevrolet in Atala, where he once worked,

77
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: planning to rob the store. Barry was shot in the

78
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: back of the head while lying behind the counter. About

79
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty dollars was stolen from a cookie

80
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: can used to store the cash. A jury convicted West

81
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: of capital murder and recommended a death sentence by tend

82
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: to vote. Attawa County Circuit Judge William Cardwell formally imposed

83
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: the sentence in nineteen ninety nine, calling the shooting clearly

84
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: deliberate and intentional, carried out execution style. West's girlfriend was

85
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: also charged in the case. She pleaded guilty and received

86
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: a thirty five year prison sentence. Alabama last year became

87
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: the first state to use nitrogen gas as an execution method,

88
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: pumping nitrogen through a face mask to cut off oxygen.

89
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: Since then, the method has been used in six executions,

90
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: five in Alabama and one in Louisiana. Another nitrogen execution

91
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: in Alabama is scheduled for August. West chose nitrogen after

92
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: lawmakers approved it, even before the state had finalized procedures

93
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: With this crime alert, I'm Jackie Howard.
