2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Scott walks into a Florida emergency room with her two

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: year olds, saying the tots quote acting crazy, swinging her

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: arms erradically, bouncing off walls, and not sleeping. It doesn't

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: take long to determine the child's exhibiting the same sentence

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: as someone tweaking from drug use. Lab reports confirmed the

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: tout tests positive for methamphetamine and opioids Nancy.

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: Few details have been released on how the toddler consumed

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: the drugs, but what we do know is that Scott

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: waited nearly twelve hours to get the child medical attention

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: and did not call nine one one. Scott is reportedly

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: new to the area, moving into a home that was

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 2: previously known for drug use. Scott was arrested at the hospital,

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: and it's unclear if she's made a pleat.

15

Speaker 1: More crime and justice news after this Now with the

00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: latest crime in justice, breaking news. Crime Onlines.

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: John Linley, a Pennsylvania woman tied to a suspected cult,

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 3: is denying any role in her parents' murders. Michelle Zakos

30
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 3: as she's been falsely accused. In a handwritten letter shared

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: with our friends with the Associated Press, she claims the

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: public is being misled about her and the so called

33
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: Zizion Group, an alleged extremist network now linked to six

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: deaths across three states. Authorities say Zayko supplied the gun

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: used in the January shooting of US Border Patrol agent

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: David Milan in Vermont. That incident exposed a broader investigation

37
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: into the group's activities. Zayko Group leader Jack Li Soda,

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: also known as Zizz, and another member were arrested in

39
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: Maryland charged with trespassing, obstruction, and illegal gun possession. Zako

40
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: has not been charged in the twenty twenty two shooting

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: deaths of her parents, Richard and Rita Zayko, but was questioned.

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: Lesda was briefly detained during the investigation. In her letter,

43
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: Zako denies involvement, defends Lesoda, and calls media reports false.

44
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: She also distances herself from group members linked to other

45
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: violent incidents, including the killing of a California landlord. The

46
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: case remains under investigation. The Indiana Supreme Court has scheduled

47
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: the state's second execution in over fifteen years. As I'm

48
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: Online Sidney Sumner explains, Benjamin Ritchie, convicted of killing a

49
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: police officer in two thousand, is set to be executed

50
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: next month.

51
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: In September two thousand, Beechgrove police officer Bill Tony was

52
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: shot and killed during a footchase following a police pursuit

53
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: of a stolen ban. The suspect, Benjamin Ritchie, turned and

54
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: fired four times, fatally wounding Officer Tony. Richie was convicted

55
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 2: of murder and other charges in two thousand and two

56
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: and received the death penalty. Since then, he has filed

57
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: multiple appeals, most recently arguing that his trial attorney failed

58
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: to investigate potential cognitive impairments stemming from fetal alcohol spectrum

59
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: disorder and childhood blood exposure. He also contended that his

60
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: age at the time of the crime, twenty years old,

61
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: should be considered. The Indiana Supreme Court denied his latest motion.

62
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: Justice Jeffrey Slaughter stated that additional evidence of cognitive impairments

63
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: likely wouldn't have influenced the jury's decision. However, Chief Justice

64
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: Loretta Rush dissented, emphasizing the importance of ensuring Richie had

65
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: effective legal representation before proceeding with the execution. Ritchie's execution

66
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: is scheduled before sunrise on May twentieth. It will be

67
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: Indiana's second execution since two thousand and nine, following the

68
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: December twenty twenty four execution of Joseph Corkoran, who was

69
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: convicted of a nineteen ninety seven quadruple homicide. Corkoran's execution

70
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: marked the end of a fifteen year hiatus in the

71
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: state's use of capital punishment, largely due to difficulties in

72
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: obtaining lethal injection drugs.

73
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: Benjamin Ritchie's execution is set for May twentieth, pending any

74
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: further legal developments.
