62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: Year old Daniel Berta has received a sentence of just

63
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: over four years in prison after entering a modified guilty

64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: plea days earlier. Berta, who was working as a living

65
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: handyman at Day's home in Phoenix, Oregon, pleaded no contest

66
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: to charges of criminally negligent homicide and abuse of a corpse.

67
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: This plea means he acknowledges that the state has enough

68
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: evidence to prove the charges at trial, effectively carrying the

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: same weight as a guilty plea. Prosecutors revealed that Berta

70
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: was responsible for causing Day's death and subsequently using his

71
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: identity to make unauthorized purchases. The seventy six year old

72
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: Day had been attempting to evict Berta around the time

73
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: he went missing in mid twenty eighteen. Tragically, Dennis Day's

74
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: badly decomposed body was not discovered for nine months, found

75
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: beneath a pile of clothes in his home. This delay

76
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: has led to a lawsuit against the Phoenix Police Department

77
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: by Day's family, who claimed the department's repeated visits to

78
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: the house without finding his remains caused significant emotional distress.

79
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: According to the lawsuit, during one search, officers even stepped

80
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: on Day's body, resulting in fractures to the corpse. Despite this,

81
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: the body was not located until April twenty nineteen, when

82
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: Oregon State Police brought in a cadaver sniffing dog. This

83
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: delayed discovery prevented the medical examiner from determining an exact

84
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: cause of death. Berta's case experienced multiple delays due to

85
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: assessments of his mental fitness and other legal challenges. Court

86
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: records indicate he faced additional charges while out of custody,

87
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: and has recently been sentenced to an additional two years

88
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: in a separate burglary case, bringing his total time in

89
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: prison to just over six years.

90
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: Phoenix Police Department has denied any wrongdoing, with the trial

91
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,960
