00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: involved in one or two aspects of the case who

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: are concerned the LAPD is now focusing on them. Burke

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: has not cooperated at all, regardless of what his pr

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: people have stated publicly. Police have finally admitted Celeste was

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: a murder victim when LAPD files the paperwork to prevent

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: the medical examiner from releasing information about Celeste. The detective

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: says releasing the medical records could endanger witnesses and refers

16
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: to Celeste's case as an ongoing invent instigation of murder.

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: For a case that has been making headlines for three months,

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: this is the first indication that this is a murder investigation.

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: A second person has been linked to the death of Celestreevas.

20

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: claims the suspects phone and social media data were triangulated

22
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: by the LAPD homicide detectives to the spot on the

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: same timeframe that Revis died. That person is not named yet.

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: The first part from the Robbery Homicide Division statement on

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Celestievas investigation, the Los Angeles Police Department is aware of

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: the recent stories posted by various media outlets about D

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: four VD revs investigation and would like to dispel some

28
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: information and misinformation contained in the reporting. The body of

29
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: Celestreevas was not frozen when it was discovered on September eighth,

30
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. She had not been decapitated. The second

31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: part from the Robbery Homicide Division statement, We have of

32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: evidenced that D four VD traveled to Santa Barbara area

33
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: sometime during the spring of twenty twenty five. The reason

34
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: for that trip is still under investigation, and we've drawn

35
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: no conclusions at this point about the relevance of the

36
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: trip to this case. The last part of the Robbery

37
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Homicide Division statement, as far as the court order, the

38
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: LAPD sought to seal the records of the Los Angeles

39
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: County Medical Examiner's investigation into Celestrevus death. That order was

40
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: sought only to ensure detectives from Harabrey Homicide Division learned

41
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: of important information surrounding her death before the media and

42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: the public. The order was not sought to undermine transparency.

43
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: No other information will be provided at this time. Meanwhile,

44
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: EA Sports, the biggest name in sports video games, quietly

45
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: removes Burke's song what Are You Waiting For from Madden

46
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: NFL twenty six. The legendary football game features a soundtrack.

47
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: When released in August of twenty twenty five, the positions

48
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Burke's cut between Bia and Alex Warren on the playlist,

49
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: but now the song has vanished from the list. No

50
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: announcement explaining the reason behind the move. A recent report

51
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: said the grand jury hearing testimony about the death of

52
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: Celeste Reevas was an investigative grand jury, one that helps

53
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: authorities gather evidence but does not indict. Now, new information

54
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: indicates Burke will likely face murder charges for the death

55
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: of Celeste, and the grand jury hearing the case right

56
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: now is going to be asked to hand down an indictment.

57
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: An investigative grand jury can be useful to subpoena and

58
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: then force incooperative witnesses to testify, and sources now say

59
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: the grand jury hearing witnesses actually one that will vote

60
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: on indictments, and these sources indicate prosecutor Beth Silverman, among others,

61
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: believes Burke was involved in the death of Celeste. After

62
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: days of testifying for the grand jury, Burke's day to

63
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: day manager, Robert Morganroth, is heard telling his lawyer in

64
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: the courtroom hallway prospquers Peter Silverman was quote very pushy

65
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: as to why he didn't call police. Morgan Roth responds

66
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't his responsibility. His job was to make sure

67
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: Burke's tour kept going. Context to the comments has not provided,

68
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: leaving room for interpretation of private comments overheard in a hallway.

69
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: More crime and justice news. Next, a lawsuit filed in

70
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: Virginia claims a hospital allowed a doctor to routinely and

71
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: knowingly perform unnecessary surgeries in order to increase its own revenue,

72
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: including instances where the doctor performed c sections and hysterectomies

73
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: without consent. More than five hundred women are part of

74
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: the lawsuit claiming the Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, where doctor

75
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: Javed Perwaiz worked as a gynecologist, used the quote the

76
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: need for intensive neonatal care for the babies delivered early

77
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: so so common that CRMC neonatalists referred to it as

78
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: the peerwa was special. The suit claims the scheduling of

79
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: medically unnecessary early inductions for his patients at times convenient

80
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: for his schedule was an open secret in the CRMC

81
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: Labor and Delivery unit, and that pierwise routinely scheduled surgeries,

82
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: including sterilization procedures, on an accelerated basis without adhering to

83
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: crmc's established standards to reduce the likelihood that patients would

84
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: change their minds about the surgeries. The plaintiffs include five

85
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: hundred and ten patients that pier was allegedly operated on,

86
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: with their lawsuit naming multiple executives as defendants for not

87
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: preventing what happened. Pier is currently serving fifty nine years

88
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: in prison for Medicaid fraud connected to the unnecessary operations

89
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: by the US Justice Department. CRMC was indicted in January

90
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five for healthcare fraud and conspiracy to defraud

91
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: the United States and interfere with government function in connection

92
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: with pierwise alleged actions, and a fraudulent billing scheme that

93
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: prosecutors said was directly related to him. Pierwa is unnecessary

94
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: and medically unjustified. Obstetrics and guynecology procedures were performed between

95
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: January twenty ten and November twenty nineteen. The lawsuit filed

96
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: against CRMC and the DOJ's indictment outlined numerous accusations of wrongdoing,

97
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: many of them being disturbingly similar. The plaintiffs in the

98
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: civil suit are seeking ten million dollars each from CRMC.
