Can you imagine, I mean, think about 28 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: everything else that might must have been going on in 29 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: that marriage. And the reporter said he urinated on her. 30 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: Did I hear that correctly? No?

You know, the 34 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: fact that a husband would put sleeping pills in his 35 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: wife's coffee, not only does that show the height of selfish, 36 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: selfishness and wanting to kill your spouse. He has no 37 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: thought for everybody else out on the road. She could 38 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: have plowed out a whole family or people in a crosswalk, 39 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: or you know, it's not only does he not care 40 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: about her, He does not care about society at large? 41 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: Joining me right now, Crime online dot Com investigative reporter 42 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: Trisha Griffith is with us. Trisha, I want to take 43 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: it starting at a ending at Z because Z is 44 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: going to make you fall off your chair when you 45 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: find out what happened to this guy, this husband, Brian Kozlowski. 46 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: But I want to start at the beginning. What led 47 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: her or terse to install nanny cams? Well, first of all, 48 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: I want to start with a question if by might Nancy, 49 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: but what husband going through a contentious divorce would be 50 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: serving his wife coffee? And I'm wondering maybe if that's 51 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 1: what started it. And then she started to feel sleepy 52 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: and nauseated every time she drank his coffee. So she thought, Okay, 53 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: I've got it, I've got to do something. She installed 54 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: these nanny cams. And I can't imagine the shock she 55 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: felt when she saw her husband pouring those put in 56 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: those pills in her coffee. Probably at the time she 57 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: wasn't sure even what the pills were, but yeah, it 58 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: started with that. That was the beginning. She filed for 59 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: divorce in May of twenty eighteen. In July of twenty 60 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: eighteen is when she discovered her husband, even though they 61 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: were divorcing, he was the father of her three children, 62 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: was actually trying to kill her, not through kindness but 63 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: through her coffee. It's appalling, Nancy, it really is. I 64 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: just you know, Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina. Family attorney. Boy, 65 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: that's like putting perfume on the pig. No offense, Kathleen Murphy, 66 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: But family attorney. It makes it sounds like a sweet, 67 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: little cozy family. Your practice is anything but it is 68 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: down and dirty family law. I mean, I have friends 69 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: that are defense lawyers say they'd rather represent a dope 70 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: dealer than get in between two divorcing adults. Have you 71 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: ever seen anything like this where the wife keeps feeling 72 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: sick every time she drinks the husband's coffee. First of all, 73 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: why are they living in the same house? Didn't he 74 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: anybody see War of the Roses? Wasn't that with Kathleen 75 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: Turner and Michael Douglas I can hardly remember, But they 76 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: both end up dead in the end. Why would anybody 77 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: live in the same house during the middle of a 78 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: contentious divorce, Kathleen Murphy, I'll tell you exactly why Nancy 79 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: the legislature fails to pass appropriate laws that deal with 80 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: the family court system. There's a situation right now where 81 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: a father has taken a child, has never visited with 82 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: a child is three years old, and the courts won't 83 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: even enter an emergency order because the law doesn't allow it. 84 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. You're what you're talking 85 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: about this kid? I don't know about that case. I 86 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 1: want to talk about. Why have you ever seen where 87 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: a family, a mom and a dad who are so viciously, 88 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: venomously angry at each other live under the same roof, 89 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: And why they live under the same roof because they 90 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: can't afford to separate, or because one parent doesn't want 91 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: to leave the home and leave the children with the 92 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: abusive parents. And there's no law that allows us to 93 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,239 Speaker 1: kick somebody out unless there's clear evidence of domestic violence 94 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: so he can continue his under belly behavior. I can't 95 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: believe these two were still under the same roof and 96 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: they have children. As a matter of fact, take a 97 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: listen to our friend an NBC four It's reporter Jason Calthorpe. 98 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: She also revealed a chilling conversation with her daughter who 99 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: told her she too drank the coffee one morning and 100 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: drove thirty minutes to work, she would be able to 101 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: make it to her desk, only to immediately fall asleep 102 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: for two hours. Brian had successfully poisoned his own daughter 103 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: and set her on a path that could have killed 104 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: her that morning. So bottom line to Kathleen Murphy, he's 105 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: not just trying to poison his wife. His daughter drank 106 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: it and got in the car, got in a car 107 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: and drove, Kathleen, and he could have killed our kid, 108 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: or that child could have killed our kids driving under 109 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: the influence. The legislature needs to make the laws in 110 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: the particular states that allow somebody to put a spouse 111 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: out of the house, even if there's not domestic violence. 112 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: That's boon to the court. We're talking about a woman, 113 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: Tris Kazlowski, so suspicious she installs nanny camps in the home, 114 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: finds her husband putting pills into her coffee. To doctor 115 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: Michelle Dupree, renowned medical examiner joining US out of South Carolina, 116 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: author of Homicide Investigation Field Guide eight, sleeping pills, what 117 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: does that mean? Does that kill you? That's a lot 118 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: Nancy normal would be let's just say twenty five to 119 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: fifty milligrams. This is the equivalent of one hundred and 120 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: twenty seven thousand. That's a lot that can knock somebody 121 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: out and definitely makes them sleepy, drowsy, can even cause 122 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: a bath. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, Kauzlowski's wife spoke 123 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: to the court saying she felt ill and had blurry 124 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: vision for weeks after filing for boris. She says she 125 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: albos crashed into a wall wall driving to work because 126 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: she was so exhausted. I kept saying to myself to 127 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: slow down, but my body was not reacting and the 128 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: car was not slowing down. Suddenly, my car jolted as 129 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: I woke up, and at the same time hit the brakes. 130 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: The victim continued telling the court that she hit a 131 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: camera in her kitchen, and that's when she realized that 132 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: her husband had been spiking her morning coffee each day 133 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: with eight sleeping pills. Now I found a shot glass 134 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: that contained a blue liquid hidden behind the coffee pot. 135 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: I continued to pour my coffee in the morning and 136 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: bag it for evidence. In order to keep out of 137 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: Brian's calculated process. I had to wake up at four 138 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: or forty five each morning and go turn the cameras on. 139 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: Was the prestige to his magic trick to make me 140 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: disappear well. She went on to say that her daughter 141 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: was also poisoned by drinking the coffee or Brian Kazlowski 142 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: now has the option to appeal the court's decision. Welcome back, everybody, 143 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: I mean it. See Grace, this is crime Stories. Thank 144 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: you for being with us. A husband of twenty two 145 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: years caught on nanny cam poisoning his wife's coffee in 146 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: the midst of an acrimonious divorce. They're still living under 147 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: the same roof. He also ends up poisoning their daughter. 148 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: They've got an all star panel to break it down 149 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: and put it back together. Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina family lawyer. 150 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: Doctor Michelle Dupree, renowned medical examiner out of South Carolina, 151 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: author of Homicide Investigation Field Guide, renowned psychoanalysts out of Hollywood. 152 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University. Joe Scott Morgan, 153 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon and Crime 154 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: Online dot Com. Investigative reporter Tricia Griffith. So I'm getting 155 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: conflicting reports. I'm getting sleeping pills, I'm getting anahistamine, I'm 156 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: getting blue liquid. Well, I mean she started bagging the coffee, 157 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: saving it for analysis. What exactly was it he was 158 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: poisoning her with? What we know for certain, it was 159 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: an anihistamine of some sort, And like your panel was 160 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: mentioned and has been mentioned in the previous report, this 161 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: was enough to at the very least caused her to 162 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: fall asleep while driving. And you have to wonder that 163 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: I would assume that was his full intent, was to 164 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: make sure that she killed herself driving and killed others. 165 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: But as far as we know, it's antihistamine and it 166 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: was put in her coffee. I believe in pill form, 167 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: but maybe, you know, maybe it was one of those 168 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: capsules that they pulled apart and it had some liquid 169 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: in it, and that's what he was pouring in there. 170 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: It definitely antihistamine, definitely enough to make sure that something 171 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: bad would happen to her. It really is scary when 172 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: you think about it. The last contaminated coffee, because Lawski 173 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: had brewed for his victim his wife, was analyzed and 174 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: was found to contain one hundred and twenty seven millileaters 175 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: of diapen hydramine to Justice Scott Morgan, forensics expert, what 176 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: is diapenhydramine, Nancy diphenhydramine We find it. It's an over 177 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: the counter medication that is in fact an antihistamine. We 178 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: find it in all kinds of drugs. Primarily where we 179 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: find it is the drug that most people are familiar with, benadrill, 180 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: very very common. You know, many of us use it. 181 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: You can use it for insect bytes, allergic reactions of 182 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: problems with allergies that we get various times of the year, 183 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: and some people use it as a sleeping aid, and 184 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: you'll find it in various things. You'll even find some 185 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: diphenhydramine and things like niquil to help us sleep. So 186 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: it actually crosses the blood brain barrier. There's this barrier 187 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: that that is within the brain. It crosses over and 188 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: it it actually latches onto the receptors in the brain 189 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: where the histamines attach on, and it's those receptors that 190 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: cause sleepiness, and it will send us into this kind 191 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: of drowsy, dreamlike state. And one of the problems with 192 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: this Nancy is that as much as he was giving 193 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: her it can lead to things like hypotension, which is 194 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: like low blood pressure. She's getting. She's dizzy, she's disoriented. 195 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: There's no telling who she could have killed. And also, 196 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: what's really scary if she had a predisposition to some 197 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: kind of other medical condition and he gave her this medication, 198 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: this could have been a murder. Hold on, just a moment, 199 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: let me go run down an irrelevant rabbit hole for 200 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: a moment, which is something I love to do when 201 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm investigating cases. Jackie Howard here in the studio just 202 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: couldn't wait to leave her position manning all the equipment 203 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: here in the studio to show me a selfie. Okay, 204 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be of her, it's not. 205 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: It's of the husband, Brian Kaslowski. And I need a shrink, 206 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: and I need one right now because doctor Bethany Marshall. 207 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: If you could see this selfie, it's him, Brian Kaslowski, 208 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: wearing a pair of like spy sunglasses, looking all like 209 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: James BONDI ish, what's the knee? James Bond is not 210 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: really new anymore. He's awesome. Craig, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Daniel Craig. 211 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: He looks kind of like yeah, him, and he's like 212 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: as a handsome in this selfie. If I found out 213 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: my husband, David Lynch, I hope you're listening David was 214 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: taking selfies of himself, much less posting them, I would 215 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: let me try not to curse Poopa brick, okay, because 216 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: I mean I'd be calling his mom this minute and 217 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: ratting him out. I mean, if you could see this, 218 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why I don't like it. 219 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: This is a married man with children taking his Daniel 220 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: Craig selfies and probably posting them. It's rubbing me the 221 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: wrong way. I don't like him. Help me, Emma, Ama wrong? 222 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: Is this a wrong gut reaction? Well? Nancy appoints to 223 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:04,359 Speaker 1: two possible motives for homicide. One would be my guess, 224 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: I'm a look at this. You don't want to date him, Nancy, No, no, Look, 225 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: I love being married. I love being married. I love 226 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: my husband, I really do. But I'm not doing it again. 227 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: I do not want to date him, and I want 228 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: to date I like the one I've got. I mean, 229 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: I kind of look at it like buying a used car. 230 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: Everyone you find is going to have a problem. I'll 231 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: just stick with the one I have because he's pretty 232 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: near close to perfect. But I can tell you this much, 233 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: I guarantee I'm not going to catch him posting Daniel 234 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: Craig selfies online. No gosh, I wish you could see this. 235 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: You'll have to text it to me, I will say, Nancy. 236 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: With these domestic homicide situations and this is what this 237 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: was winding up to be, often the husband is already 238 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: beginning to build what he thinks is an idealized life 239 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: away from the wife. So I wouldn't be surprised if 240 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: we find that he has girlfriends a dating site. I mean, 241 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: they were already going through a divorce, so he was 242 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: committed to her in some types of monogamous relationship, I 243 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: would imagine, but it sounds like he wanted possibly to 244 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: get her out of the way to have this idealized life. 245 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: And then on top of that, I wonder what kind 246 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: of financial incentive he might have had, because what we 247 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: see in these cases is often there's a life insurance policy, 248 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: or the husband is stupid enough to think that if 249 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: he kills the wife, he won't get caught, and now 250 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: all the money and assets will be his and he 251 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: won't have to divide them, you know, Nancy. People get cheap, greedy, 252 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: and paranoid in the midst of the divorce. I see 253 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: this in my Beverly Hills office. Whether it's over one 254 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: hundred thousand or a billion, they all do the same thing. 255 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: One partner just scrambles and scrambles and tries to squirrel 256 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: it all away for themselves, tries to deprive the other person. 257 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: I have a case right now with a billionaire who 258 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: keeps cutting off his wife's AMYX in the middle of 259 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: the divorce, so she has no money to live on 260 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: and she has to go and borrow it from her 261 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: friends and relatives. Fortunately she has a good attorney. But 262 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: finances are a huge negative motivator when it comes to 263 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: domestic homicide. And that is why I'm having Lucy already 264 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: thinking of yes, she's just eleven, where she's going to 265 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: go to college, and what she's going to do when 266 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: she graduates, because I do not want her financially dependent 267 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: on some man guys. Listen to this. Of course, we've 268 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: gotten far afield by his Daniel Craig selfie, but listen 269 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: to this. What the wife Therese Kazlowski says, this is 270 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: her after she's talking about after the first time she 271 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: witnessed her husband mixing drugs into her morning coffee. Quote. 272 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: I felt a horrible coldness in the air, as if 273 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: I was hunted by a dangerous predator, but in this nightmare, 274 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: the predator was Brian. I fell to my knees and cried, 275 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: saying to myself to slow down, but my body was 276 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: not reacting and the car was not slowing down. Suddenly, 277 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: my car jolted as I woke up, and at the 278 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: same time hit the brakes. I found a shot glass 279 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: that contained a blue liquid hidden behind the coffee pot. 280 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: I continued to pour my coffee in the morning and 281 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: bag it for evidence. In order to keep a hut 282 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: of Brian's calculated process, I had to wake up at 283 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: four forty five each morning and go turn the cameras on. 284 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: Hi guys, Nancy Grace here. I remember every night before 285 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: I would go to work at CNN a chill in, 286 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: I would bathe the twins, and that was a special 287 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: time for me. Anyway. I would teach them their ABC's 288 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: they're one two threes. Lucy would only eat dinner in 289 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 1: the bathtub. I defeat her dinner in the bathtub. I 290 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: would give her one full hour in John David one 291 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: full hour and I would actually go to work so 292 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: king wet. It was one of the happiest times of 293 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: my life. And I guess that's why I gravitated to 294 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: Emily Mason. Emily Mason, gorgeous young professor at a local college, Swainsburg, Georgia, 295 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: East george College. I traveled to Swainsborough to investigate her death, 296 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: and this is what I learnt. Emily was bathing her 297 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: two little girls in the tube when someone came into 298 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: her home chased her from room to room. The last 299 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: thing her little girls ever heard from their mother was 300 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: Mommy running, screaming for her life. Those are their vivid 301 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: last memories of Mommy. She was brutally murdered. And you 302 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: may ask where was her husband during all this? While 303 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: her husband, also a professor at East Georgia College, a 304 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: PE professor, a PE coach, happened to be gone. He 305 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: just happened to leave for a local Walmart or home 306 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: depot or lows and in that short window of time 307 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: he comes home to find his wife dead in the home. 308 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: The children woman's non verbal could hardly describe a thing. 309 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: What happened to Emily Mason her story really has touched me. 310 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: The mystery surrounding the death, the brutal death of this 311 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: young mom, Emily Mason.

Thanks 314 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: Fred Climb Stories with Nancy Grace. Kozlowski's wife spoke to 315 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: the court, saying she felt ill and had blurry vision 316 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: for weeks after filing for divorce. She says she albs 317 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: crashed into a wall wall driving to work because she 318 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: was so exhausted. I kept saying to myself to slow down, 319 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: but my body was not reacting and the car was 320 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: not slowing down. Suddenly, my car jolted as I woke up, 321 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: and at the same time hit the brakes. The victim 322 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: continued telling the court that she hit a camera in 323 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: her kitchen, and that's when she realized that her husband 324 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: had been spiking her morning coffee each day with eight 325 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: sleeping pills. I found a shot glass that contained a 326 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: blue liquid hidden behind the coffee pot. I continued to 327 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: pour my coffee in the morning and bag it for 328 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: evidence in order to keep out of Brian's calcula later process. 329 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: I had to wake up at four forty five each 330 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: morning and go turn the cameras on with the prestige 331 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: to his magic trick to make me disappear well. She 332 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: went on to say that her daughter was also poisoned 333 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: by drinking the coffee. Our Brian Kezlowski now has the 334 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: option to appeal the court's decision. Of course, once she 335 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: realized exactly what he was putting in her morning coffee, 336 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: she moved out. She did manage to bag several examples 337 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,239 Speaker 1: of it. You were just hearing from our freens at 338 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: k x y Z TV. I'm just stunned that it 339 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: could get this far, poisoning your wife's coffee in the 340 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: midst of a brutal divorce. Now, I hope everybody is 341 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: sitting down. Doctor Michelle Dupree, doctor Bethany Marshall, Joseph Scott Morgan, 342 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: Tricia Griffith. You may need to lay down for this one. 343 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: Take a listen. And then came the sentence, for which 344 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: the guideline was a minimum of a year and a 345 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: half in prison. And if he comes back in society 346 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: as a hardened criminal, what have I done? Nothing? Judge 347 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Viviano then stunned the court, sentencing Kozlowski to five 348 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: years probation and sixty days in jail, to be served 349 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: on weekends. And people are requesting that you reconsider the sentence. 350 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: A sixty day weekend sentence is a slap in the face. 351 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: The sixty day weekend only sentence. I do not let 352 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: anybody speak right, and that's where it ended. It's also 353 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: important to know this wasn't a one time thing. This 354 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: had happened with the coffee several times. Now. McComb County 355 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: prosecutor very upset, as you might imagine, he said this 356 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: about the sentence. It's almost as though the judge is 357 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: more concerned with the defendant's freedom than he is with 358 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: the safety of the victim. I am overwhelmed. This guy, 359 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: Brian Koslowski poisons his wife in her morning coffee repeatedly, 360 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: even the daughter ingested it, and with a one year 361 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: mandatory sentence, the judge decides to give him probation with 362 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: sixty days behind bars. What a slap in the face. 363 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: A Michigan man sentence to just sixty days for poisoning 364 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: his wife. And to top it all off, he will 365 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: only serve that time on the weekends. On the weekends, 366 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: Chisia Griffith, Crime online dot Com investigative reporter, Who is 367 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: this judge? What happened? When I first read this, I 368 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 1: thought it was a misprint. I thought it has to 369 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: be because he could have been sentenced up to fifteen 370 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: years in prison. Instead, it's like he's getting a time 371 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: out on the weekends for being a bad boy. This 372 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: judge is a visiting judge. He came into town, did 373 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: a few cases, and then he's gone again. They're not 374 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: saying very much about him because I would imagine the 375 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: backlash against this judge is going to be something incredible. 376 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: But I want everybody, Nancy, everybody to think about this. 377 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: He tries to poison his wife, not wants, not try, 378 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: but several times, and she catches him on camera doing 379 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: it and he gets a slap on the wrist. Bad boy, 380 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: you can't go out on the weekends. You need to 381 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: come into the jail and just sleep here. My question is, please, 382 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: please tell me they did not send him back to 383 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: her home. I can only assume that he is out 384 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: of that house by now. But in this case, Nancy, 385 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: who knows judge Antonio Viviano in McComb County Circuit Court 386 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: decided to give this freak, this attempted killer, straight probation 387 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: weekends behind bars for sixty days. The coffee poisoning takes 388 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,479 Speaker 1: place during the couple's divorce, the wife claiming she felt 389 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: sick and tired with blurred vision, having her morning coffee 390 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: and driving toward even the daughter drank the coffee and 391 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: felt the same effects. Now this judge, Viviano claims the 392 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: ex husband had quote a sense of remorse listen, truly sorry, 393 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: fled like to apologize. Oh my stars. The prosecutor in 394 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: the case Macomb County, Eric Smith, called the sixty days 395 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: sentence a slap in the face of the victim and 396 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: the justice system in general. And I agree. Smith is 397 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: appealing the sentence because it's substantially below the sentencing guidelines, 398 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: which indicates a guilty defendant to spend a minimum of 399 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: nineteen to thirty eight months in prison. Take a listen 400 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: to our friends at BC four. But mccombman pleaded guilty 401 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: to poisoning his wife and he was in court to 402 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: be sentenced today. It's important to know before you hear 403 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: this story that the maximum penalty for this crime is 404 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: fifteen years in prison. Let's bring in Jason Colethorp for 405 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: what was an intense sentencing. Jason, Yeah, I sure was, 406 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: and more important to know, guys, the minimum sentence guideline 407 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: here was more than a year in prison. I'm just overwhelmed. 408 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: The prosecutor released a statement saying the courts seemed more 409 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: focused on ensuring the definance freedom and ability to continue 410 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: to work than the victim and her safety. That is 411 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: troubling to think someone who commits such a reckless crime, 412 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: putting his wife and so many other people at risk, 413 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: is able to walk away with such a light sentence. 414 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: Smith's office explained the judge had sole discretion in the sentencing. 415 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: I mean, out to you, doctor Bethany Marshall, how must 416 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: the victim be feeling right now? Can you imagine these 417 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: victims Usually what's really therapeutic for them is when they 418 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: go through a court system and they find that the 419 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: judge and the jury is on their side. So she's 420 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: not going to have that therapeutic experience. But Nancy, some 421 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: judges are what we call offender identified, and what I 422 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: mean by that is there is some personality characteristic in 423 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: the judge that is similar to that of the defendant. 424 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: Maybe his judge hates his wife, maybe he's a misogynist, 425 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: maybe he would be terrified to go to jail himself. 426 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: But he has characteristics which cause him to lack objectivity 427 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: in this case. Take a listen to our friends at 428 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: NBC four. Well, yeah, the judge give any indication what 429 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: push for the lighter sentence? Why? You know, one of 430 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: the things he said leading up to this was curious. 431 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: He said, anyone who tries to influence the sentence is 432 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: acting improperly, which he didn't direct at anyone specifically, But 433 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: yesterday Prosecutor Eric Smith put out a press release kind 434 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: of demanding prison time or else they would appeal the sentence, 435 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: So he kind of threw that out there. You don't 436 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: know if the judge was talking to him. Don't try 437 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: and push me to do what you want to do. 438 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: And then he made the sentence. I think a lot 439 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: of people be surprised at what the maximum sentence was, 440 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: just fifteen years, and obviously he didn't get anywhere close 441 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: to what the maximum crime stories with me. It'sy Grace. 442 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: Kozlowski's wife spoke to the court saying she felt ill 443 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: and had blurry vision for weeks. After filing for divorce, 444 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: she says she almost crashed into a wall while driving 445 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: to work because she was so exhausted. I kept saying 446 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: to myself to slow down, but my body was not 447 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: reacting and the car was not slowing down. Suddenly, my 448 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: car jolted as I woke up, and at the same 449 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: time hit the brakes. The victim continued telling the court 450 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: that she hit a camera in her kitchen, and that's 451 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: when she realized that her husband had been spiking her 452 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: morning coffee each day with eight sleeping pills. Now I 453 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: found a shot glass that contained a blue liquid hidden 454 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: behind the coffee pot. I continued to pour my coffee 455 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: in the morning and bag it for evidence. In order 456 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: to keep out to Brian's calculated process, I had to 457 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,959 Speaker 1: wake up at four forty five each morning and go 458 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: turn the cameras on. Was the prestige to his magic 459 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: trick to make me disappear well. She went on to 460 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: say that her daughter was also poisoned by drinking the 461 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: coffee or Brian Kozlowski now has the option to appeal 462 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: the court's decision. You just heard our friends at w 463 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: x Y z TV in Michigan, and now the stunning sentence. 464 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: Take a listen to NBC four. And then came the sentence, 465 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: for which the guideline was a minimum of a year 466 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: and a half in prison. And if he goes back 467 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: into society as a hard criminal, what have I done? Nothing? 468 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: Judge Anthony Viviano then stunned the court, sentencing Kozlowski to 469 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: five years probation and sixty days in jail, to be 470 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: served on weekends. The people are requesting that you reconsider 471 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: the sentence a sixty day week and sentence is a 472 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: slap in the face. The sixty weekend only settled. I 473 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: do not let anybody speak, and that's where it ended. 474 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: It's also important to know this wasn't a one time thing. 475 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: This had happened with the coffee several times. Now. McComb 476 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: County prosecutor very upset, as you might imagine, he said 477 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: this about the sentence. It's almost as though the judge 478 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: is more concerned with the defendant's freedom than he is 479 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: with the safety of the victim. You know, I don't 480 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: know how long it's going to go on in our 481 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: country that women are treated like second class citizens. In 482 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: this case, her husband repeatedly tried to poison her in 483 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: her coffee, even their daughter drank it. She gets on 484 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: the road in her car, nearly kills herself and possibly 485 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: other innocent victims on the road, and the judge Viviano 486 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: gives this guy sixty days. I mean, doctor Michelle Dupree 487 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: joining us out of South Carolina, renowned medical examiner, author 488 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: of Home side Investigation Field Guide. Let's just say it 489 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: was eight benadril in one cup of coffee. What happens 490 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: to you driving on the Interstate the freeway after eight 491 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: benadril tablets? That much benadril tablets would definitely make someone 492 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: very drowsy. Their reflexes would be slowed, They would be 493 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: unable to respond to emergency type situations. They may even 494 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: fall asleep out the wheel. Can you imagine hopping that 495 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: median Joe Scott Morgan, forensics expert and plowing into oncoming traffic. Yeah, 496 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: and that's that's what makes this so sinister, Nancy. And 497 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: to boot, the wife has mentioned that she witnessed her 498 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: daughter in just the stuff as well, and she she 499 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: was potentially impaired, so it's kind of a double whammy. 500 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: And he just he showed I don't know a lawyer 501 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: term here reckless indifference. It would seem to everybody else concerned, 502 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: he was only focused on himself. She says, quote I 503 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: watched from the upstairs landing, hoping I could see was microwaving, 504 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: and saw what looked like a shot glass. When he 505 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,719 Speaker 1: left the room, I ran downstairs and looked for this glass, 506 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 1: which I found behind the coffee pot. I quickly ran 507 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: upstairs and pretended to be asleep. She describes that when 508 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: he went downstairs again, she quote watched in horror as 509 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: he poured himself a cup of coffee before taking the 510 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: substance in the shot glass and poured it into the pot. 511 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: I mean, doctor Bethany Marshall. He even pauses to pour 512 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: himself a cup of coffee not poisoned, and then pour 513 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: the poison into her coffee. Well, Nancy, his needs are important, 514 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,479 Speaker 1: doesn't that what the judge thinks. He shouldn't be forced 515 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: to be in jail during the week when he needs 516 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: to work. I mean, I know, seriously, I'm going to 517 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: then assume that these two are still going through divorce. 518 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that he still wants to get 519 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: rid of her and that he wants whatever assets they 520 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: have solely for himself. That still puts the wife at risk. 521 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: So how is she going to protect herself? So when 522 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: she's walking free throughout the week and he has homicidal 523 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: urges towards her, I mean, did the judge at least 524 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: allow her to put a restraining order on him? I mean, 525 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: she's at risk. I just don't understand who this judge is, 526 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: Judge Antonio Viviano, and why he should still be up 527 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: on the bench after this outrage and not only poisoning her, 528 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: but sending her out into traffic knowing that she was 529 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: most likely going to wreck. The last coffee the defendant 530 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: maid for his wife contained one hundred and twenty seven 531 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: milli eaters a dip in hydramine. This is before she 532 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: takes the wheel. She watched him over four weeks performing 533 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: the same routine every morning, and she continued to back 534 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: her coffee and keep it for evidence. I mean, what 535 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: it's really adding insult to injury that he pours himself, 536 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan his own pristine cup of coffee and 537 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: drinks it and then poisons hers. Yeah, and again this 538 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: goes back to the self centered behavior and I don't know, 539 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: maybe he was trying to keep up appearances. One other 540 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: thing that's kind of striking about this. She knows something's afoot, 541 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: and here she is acting like her own investigator, having 542 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: to collect her own evidence at the scene. I can't 543 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: imagine what a knot she had in her stomach, just 544 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: walking around day after day, not knowing what was contained 545 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: in this coffee that was making her so ill day 546 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: after day. A man caught on camera poisoning his wife's 547 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: coffee gets just sixty days behind bars. Jackie Howard will 548 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: be here in the studio. Jackie, what are you saying? 549 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: He's not only trying to do go with their coffee, 550 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: but he's also done in at least a couple of 551 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: other times. He put laxatens in her, laxatus in her 552 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: protein powder adderall during summer boat trips. Explain to me 553 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: what that is to Josco Morgan, what is adderall? Yeah? 554 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: Adderall is also in the family of amphetamine, and what 555 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: is commonly used for is to treat children with hyperactivity 556 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: that suffered from hyperactivity and it has the reverse effect 557 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: on children where it kind of calms him down. Nowadays, 558 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 1: adderall is actually sold on the street as an illicit drug. 559 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: So I have a very dear friend and her daughter 560 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: who ended up graduating with honors and is happily married 561 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: now great career. In first year college, people gave her 562 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: adderall at school, she went berserk, ended up going on 563 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: a rampage, kicking out a car window of a patrol car. 564 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: She had been a straight A student all the way 565 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: through high school. I mean, it really can make you crazy, 566 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: this adderall. But I'm interested, Doctor Bethany Marshall. The putting 567 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: the laxative in her protein powder. I mean to me, 568 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: that kind of sounds sophomorish, like a kid trick. You know, 569 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: it's interesting you say sophomore because I had the word 570 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: juvenile in my mind. It seems very juvenile, like he 571 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: was just messing with her, trying to drive her crazy. 572 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's the term gas lighting where it's a 573 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: movie in the fifties where the guy makes all the clanging, 574 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, noises in the attic and when the wife says, oh, 575 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: I hear a clanging sound, he goes, I don't hear it, 576 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: and he's trying to drive her crazy. It sounds like 577 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: he's just messing with her, like a laboratory experiment. It 578 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: also sounds to me, Nancy, like he's very low functioning, 579 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: low IQ. He's just throwing anything at it that will stick. 580 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: He's not able to think clearly. It's somebody, what's a 581 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: good clean methodology. I'm also going to say, you know, 582 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: with antisocial personality, which he appears to have, one of 583 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: the traits and we this is in the DSM is 584 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: reckless lack of concern and disregard for the rights and 585 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: safety of others. So this disregard is not only towards 586 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: his wife, it extends towards his daughter and to the 587 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: rest of society. Long a man gets just sixty days 588 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: to serve on weekends after poisoning his wife repeatedly in 589 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: Macomb Township. I, Nancy Grace, this is crime stories. Goodbye friend,
