0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Crime Alert, Imancy Grace Breaking crime News. Now, one of

0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Jackson Pierce's roommates, Dalton Coleman, is convinced one of his

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>two roommates took some of his belongings. Pierce roommate number one,

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>says he knows nothing of what Coleman's saying and proposes

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>they all talk about it when roommate number two gets home,

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>but instead of waiting, Dalton Coleman forces his way into

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Pierce's bedroom and the two exchange blows.

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Roommate one.

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Pierce reaches for a gun, shoots Coleman fifteen times, then

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>wraps the body in an air mattress and shoves it

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>in a closet.

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Nancy. Pierce called the missing roommate twice during the alleged confrontation,

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 3>wants to ask advice in a second time to report

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 3>he killed Coleman. The missing roommate immediately called nine to

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 3>one one, leading to the discovery of Coleman's body. Pierce

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 3>had wrapped Coleman's head in a plastic bag and tied

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 3>the air mattress around his body with a lamp cord.

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Coleman was shot over a dozen times.

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Pierce now charged with murder II and tampering with evidence.

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>A forty two year old man walks into a Leeds,

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Alabama bass pro shop, strips naked, and does a cannonball

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>into the huge freshwater aquarium and the middle of the store.

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Cops are called, but the man will not come out,

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>swimming and splashing around butt naked and showering in the waterfall.

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>The man eventually climbs over the edge of the aquarium

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and falls ten feet to the floor while he's facing

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:30.559
<v Speaker 1>public indecency, disorderly conduct, and criminal mischief charges. More crime

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and justice news after this. Now with the latest crime

<v Speaker 1>and justice breaking nees Crime onlines John Lemley.

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 2>In a new court filing, the defense team for the

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 2>gunman who shot and killed ten black people at a Buffalo,

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>New York grocery store argued that their client should not

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>be executed because, at the age of eighteen, his brain

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>was still maturing and more susceptible to outside influences. We

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.559
<v Speaker 2>turned to Sydney Sumner of Crime Online for more.

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Since the two thousand and five Supreme Court decision declaring

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 3>that the death penalty for those under the age of

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 3>eighteen was unconstitutional, Peyton Gendron's attorneys claimed the science of

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>brain development has advanced. They reference more recent studies suggesting

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 3>that brain development might last until the early twenties. After

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 3>entering a guilty plead to state charges of murder and

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 3>hate motivated terrorism for the May twenty twenty two shooting

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 3>at a store he said he picked because it was

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 3>situated in a neighborhood with a high concentration of black people. Gendron,

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 3>now twenty years old, is currently serving eleven life sentences

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 3>without the possibility of parole. If Gendron has found guilty

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 3>in a different federal hate crimes case scheduled for trial

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 3>next year, the government has threatened to apply the death penalty.

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 3>In a separate motion, Gendron's lawyers argued that the federal

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 3>indictment should be dismissed, raising concerns about the validity of

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 3>the hate crime statute in whether Congress was within its

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 3>authority to enact the law. According to investigators, Gendron, a

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 3>white man, described his assault plans in an online journal

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>that included meticulous details of his attack plans, a thorough

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 3>narrative of his March scouting trip to Buffalo, in hand

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 3>drawn maps of the targeted business. He used a camera

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 3>mounted on a military helmet to webcast the assault. Using

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 3>an air style rifle, he opened fire, first in the

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.519
<v Speaker 3>parking area of the supermarket and then inside, killing ten

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 3>customers and injuring three staff members. Attorneys for Gendrin contend

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 3>that he and others like him should be granted the

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 3>same immunity from the death penalty as a Supreme Court

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.519
<v Speaker 3>granted to those under the age of eighteen in the

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 3>two thousand and five case.

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Barbara Burns, a spokesperson for the US Attorney's Office in Buffalo,

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 2>has so far issued no comment on the case. Now

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 2>to Illinois, where in the deadly shooting of an off

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 2>duty Chicago police officer, a twenty two year old man

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>has entered a plea of not guilty once again crime

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>online Sidney Sumner.

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 3>In connection with the April twenty first killing of Officer

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Louise Wesca. Xavier L. Tate Junior was charged with first

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 3>degree murder, aggravated vehicular hijacking, and possession of a stolen firearm.

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 3>After finishing his shift at work, thirty year old Wesca

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 3>was on the southwest side of the city and heading

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 3>home when he was shot multiple times. He was later

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 3>pronounced dead at an area hospital, according to police Superintendent

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Larry Snelling, but he had something covering it, as is

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 3>common for officers who are not on duty. In part,

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Teet's identity was established by video footage gathered from over

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 3>ninety locations following Wesca's murder. Tete was apprehended on me first.

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Tat's pre trial release was later denied by a judge.

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.240
