1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: In this podcast, we're going to talk frankly but sensitively 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: about issues some people might find disturbing, including rape and suicide. 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: If you or someone you know is suicidal in the 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: US down nine to eighty eight, check out this podcast 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: notes page for information on LGBT plus mental health resources 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: in your community. 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 2: Let's do a recap of the case of ed Buck 8 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: and the key people who got us to this episode. 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: There is Jamel Moore, who died in the apartment of 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: ed Buck on July twenty seventh, twenty nineteen. Then there 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 2: was Timothy Dean, the second victim. Timothy Dean's roommate Otavio 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: today remembers him as being full of life. 13 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 3: Timothy carried himself very elegantly and was a muscular, tall, 14 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: good looking man and if you saw him on the streets, 15 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: you know it's not a person that can pass completely unnoticed. 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: Then there was the last victim, John Doe calling him 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: for now, who likely escaped with his life from ed 18 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: Buck's apartment on September eleventh, twenty nineteen, after he was 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: injected with an off the charts amount of meth amphetamine. 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 2: And then there is LA's District Attorney Jackie Lacy, who 21 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: decided at first not to charge at Buck. She was 22 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: the first black person or woman to be the La 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: County District Attorney, and she would be criticized for being 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 2: way too careful. 25 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 4: And there's a responsibility with that. You want to not 26 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 4: just be the first person of your race or the 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 4: first woman, You want to be the best right and 28 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 4: so you want to make sure that you do things 29 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 4: for the right reasons, that you never embarrassed the office, 30 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 4: that you achieved, that you accomplish things. 31 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: To this day, Jackie Lacy says she couldn't have gotten 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: a conviction for ed Buck. Her office says that the 33 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: evidence that they had was quote insufficient to prove beyond 34 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: a reasonable doubt that Buck is responsible for the death 35 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: of Jamel Moore. Likewise, the admissible evidence is insufficient to 36 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: prove beyond the reasonable doubt that suspect Buck furnished drugs 37 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: to Jamel Moore, or that suspect Buck possessed drugs. And 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: then finally there is ed Buck. When ed Buck was 39 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: arrested on September seventeenth, twenty nineteen, he was not arrested 40 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 2: on charges of murder. He was not arrested on the 41 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: lesser charge of manslaughter even though two men died in 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: this apartment of nearly identical circumstances. So what did the 43 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: Feds get ed Buck on? What new evidence did they 44 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: suddenly have that they didn't have since Jamel Moore died 45 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen or Timothy Dean died in twenty nineteen, 46 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: while they had a living victim who could connect the 47 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 2: dots between ed Buck and meth amfetamine. Buck was accused 48 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: of distribution of meth amphetamine resulting in death. In addition, 49 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 2: he was charged with maintaining a drug invol premises an 50 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: enticement to travel and interstate commerce for prostitution. With ed 51 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: Buck and jail, now is the time to build a 52 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: federal case and prosecutors will need witnesses. The potential witnesses 53 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: to the horrors in ed Buck's apartment would be the 54 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: key to putting him into jail. It was in the 55 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: months before at Buck's arrest the nation would be gripped 56 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: by Black Lives Matter protests. These same witnesses, who had 57 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: been ignored by the local police. Ed Bucket called the 58 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: sheriff to his home where he was injecting black men. 59 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: The sheriff took the victims away. This is the same 60 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: sheriff that has a history of harassing black men and 61 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 2: queermen in West Hollywood, and now two white women federal 62 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: prosecutors would have to gain the trust of gay black 63 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: men used to being ignored. This is shattering the system. 64 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 2: I'm your host, scenario, Glinton. We'll hear what really led 65 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: prosecutors to take on the case, and we'll hear from 66 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: a defense attorney about why black, queer and transfolk need 67 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 2: to be very careful around law enforcement. 68 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 5: Always that has been my experience of how prosecutors and 69 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 5: police officers treat witnesses as completely disposable, as completely at 70 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 5: their disposal, and they don't give a damn about you 71 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 5: unless you are helping them get to their conviction. So 72 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 5: I understand the Dona snitch rule, but from a completely 73 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 5: different vantage point. 74 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: Before prosecutors can convince a jury, they're going to need 75 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: to convince witnesses black men to trust the police in 76 00:04:52,800 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: the federal government more after this, this is shattering the system. 77 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: I'm your host, Snari Glenton. While recording for this show, 78 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: I wandered into something typical for West Hollywood. A protest 79 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: politics can be fun in West Hollywood, and ed Buck 80 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: certainly joined in. For those in the know, like Ed Buck, 81 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: the WIHO City Council can be fun, wacky, and impactful. 82 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 2: Before twenty seventeen, Ed Buck was a political donor who 83 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: lived in a rent stabilized apartment in the city of 84 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 2: West Hollywood. Now, if we were going to give you 85 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: a snapshot of the man, say pre twenty seventeen, we'd 86 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: call ed Buck a former Republican term Democrat who made 87 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: a good deal of money as a young man and 88 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: moved to West Hollywood, where he became an outspoken animal 89 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: rights activist and a supporter of LGBTQ causes. Actually, by 90 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 2: all accounts, it was only gay men's causes. Buck was 91 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: one of the most prolific donors. He gave nearly half 92 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: a half a million dollars to Democratic candidates over thirty years. 93 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: And that may not seem like a lot, but whether 94 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: it was say a school board race or spots on 95 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 2: the West Hollywood City Council, it goes far. Buck gave 96 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: money to everyone from John Duran, a local politician and 97 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: weho to Hillary Clinton's bid for president. Ed Buck gave 98 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: money a lot, and that's how the media saw him. 99 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 6: It's been three months since twenty six year old Jamil 100 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 6: Moore was found dead at the West Hollywood home of 101 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 6: wealthy Democratic donor Ed Buck. Moore's mother, Letitia Nixon, has 102 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 6: pressed police to continue the investigation into her son, Jamel's 103 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 6: mysterious death and to interview other black men about the 104 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 6: experiences with Buck. Buck, who has not been arrested or 105 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 6: charged with any crime, has donated hundreds of thousands of 106 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 6: dollars to Democratic candidates and Cause US over the years. 107 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 6: Jamil Moore's friends and family have lost a petition calling 108 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 6: on Democrats to return Buck's money. So far, only one 109 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 6: has done so. 110 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: Jackie Lacey, the local Democratic prosecutor, had previously said she 111 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 2: wasn't able to press charges against ed Buck, and while 112 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: the sheriff's office essentially bungled the case, the same sheriff's 113 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: office would go over the head of the local prosecutors 114 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: to the federal government. This is the part where the 115 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: local reporter and me has to come out. One of 116 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: the local sheriff's deputies tipped off the Justice Department. That 117 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: is what got the ball rolling. Now, this is where 118 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: timing seems important. Jackie Lacey, the local DA a Democrat 119 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: would be up for reelection, and there was a Trump 120 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 2: appointed US attorney Nick Hanna. Now, Nick Hanna says the 121 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: case against Buck started long before his arrest in September 122 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. Hannah says it was the opioid crisis that 123 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: got him thinking of ways to put ed Buck in prison. 124 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 7: It was the full of two thy eighteen, so at 125 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 7: that point, the opioid crisis was really coming into consciousness 126 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 7: right and we were seeing being much like Cleveland and 127 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 7: some other areas, we were seeing a lot of people 128 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 7: starting to overdose on fentanyl. 129 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: Hanna says. Historically, overdoses were treated more like an accident 130 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: in judgment, and police showed up and saw drug paraphernalia 131 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: and a dead body. While it might have been tragic, 132 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: they really didn't treat it as a criminal offense. But 133 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: the opioid crisis changed a lot of that thinking. 134 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 7: And we were seeing people selling counterfeit pills that were 135 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 7: laced with fentanyl, so people thought they were taking a xanax, 136 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 7: take it it's fentanyl and they would die. We were 137 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 7: seeing instances of drug dealers knowingly killing somebody and then 138 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 7: going off and selling more of the same product to 139 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 7: other people. 140 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: Former La County DA Jackie Lacey said that the Feds 141 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 2: had more resources, money, and people. They also had a 142 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 2: variety of federal laws, including one with a twenty year 143 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 2: prison sentence attached that made it a crime to give 144 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: someone drugs that result in death. Nick Hannah says when 145 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: he became US attorney, he was startled by the number 146 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: of overdose. 147 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 7: Deaths, spike and overdose deaths, and a lot of it 148 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 7: was attributable to people who were selling drugs laced with 149 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 7: federol and knowingly doing it and killing people, right, and 150 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 7: so you know, that seemed to be an area crying 151 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 7: out for somebody to do something about it. 152 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: It was Nick Hannah who assigned the prosecutors to take 153 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: a look at the information the Sheriff's department brought to him. 154 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: He had the Drug Enforcement Administration take a look at 155 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 2: the case as well. 156 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 7: And see what we thought, and see whether we thought 157 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 7: the evidence, you know, what the evidence was, what had 158 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 7: already been gathered, what additional investigative steps could be taken, 159 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 7: and whether or not we thought this was something that 160 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 7: merited a federal prosecution. 161 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: Now, remember, it never hurts for a federal prosecutor to 162 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 2: dunk on a local prosecutor of another party, especially as 163 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: an election looms. Nick Hannah says, this wasn't about politics, 164 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: it was about something more. 165 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 7: Ba You know, a case like ed Buck cries out 166 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 7: for prosecution, cries out for someone to do you know, 167 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 7: an investigation cries out for somebody to go to jail. 168 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 7: And you know, we were I think maybe in the 169 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 7: right spot at the right time, with the right statute 170 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 7: to do that. This is about somebody killing people in 171 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 7: his apartment. The mantra of the office is to prosecute 172 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 7: federal crimes without fear or favor and try to do 173 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 7: our best with the resources we have to make an 174 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 7: impact on the community and vindicate the rights of victims. 175 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: This is shattering the system. The federal case against ed Buck, 176 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: This is shattering the system. I'm Sinari Glinton. We left 177 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: off with ed Buck and jail and prosecutors building the 178 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: case to take him to trial. I talked extensively with 179 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 2: the US Attorney's office and with one of the key 180 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: lawyers for ed Buck. We've heard from the defense, and 181 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 2: we will definitely hear from the lawyer for ed Buck 182 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: again later on in this story. The thing is for 183 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: this story to be transparent. I didn't want the only 184 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: voice that's critical of the police or law enforcement to 185 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 2: be the lawyer for ed Buck, and I didn't want 186 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: to be a shill for federal prosecutors. 187 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 5: Defans take their time. 188 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 2: That's April Prayer. She's a criminal defense attorney. 189 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 5: They don't rush and arrest you in two or three days. 190 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 5: They might take two or three years for research and 191 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 5: investigates you and get video and audio and all your 192 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 5: bank statements, and talk to all of your friends and 193 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 5: get them all on a record before they come for you. 194 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: Like I said, I needed someone to balance out the 195 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: many law enforcement voices we've been hearing, and I wanted 196 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 2: to get the perspective of someone who knows what's at 197 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 2: stake for black men when they encounter law enforcement. I've 198 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: known April Prayer for many years. She was a classmate. 199 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: The thing is, she's made it her mission to teach 200 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: young people, particularly young black and queer folks, what to 201 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 2: do if they come in contact with the police. Just 202 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 2: board game and teachers high school kids about their rights. 203 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 5: I'm very I'm very anti police and anti prosecutors. 204 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: See what I mean. I wanted to give you a 205 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 2: sense of what is a stake. Before we go too 206 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: far down the road of demonizing Jackie Lacy, let's remember 207 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 2: that the Feds could pay special attention to ed Buck, 208 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: and they had tools that a local prosecutor just doesn't have. 209 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: April prayer, the defense attorney says, for those rooting for 210 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: ed Buck to go to jail for a long time, 211 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 2: a defendant has a much higher conviction rate with the Feds. 212 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 5: You have a truly uphill battle in federal court. Now 213 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 5: there are exceptions to that rule, because I've actually won 214 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 5: a federal case, but for the most part of the 215 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 5: Fiths come for you. They got you, and there's not 216 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 5: a whole lot you can do about it. 217 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: To give me an idea, there is a government evidence list. 218 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: It's fifteen pages long. When you read it, it kind of 219 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 2: gives you an idea of how deep the government can 220 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: dig when they really want to get you. There's stuff 221 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 2: you might expect on a drug case, syringes, a ziploc 222 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: back with a crystalline substance. There's hard drive after hard 223 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: drives of incriminating videos of Bucks fex play, six costume 224 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 2: masks and one modified military style gas mask. And it's 225 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: not just his computer and hard drives. The government swept 226 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: up everything from his iCloud to Uber and Lift receipts 227 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: to the purchase records of his Forward Edge and Nissan Morano. 228 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: Then there's more than a dozen videos of Jamel Moore 229 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 2: and here's the key part. Videos of Buck instructing victims 230 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: to do met like Exhibits seventy nine point twenty seven 231 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: a video clip of Buck instructing an unidentified man on 232 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: how to smoke. The lead attorney in the case against 233 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: ed Buck for the federal government was Lindsey Bailey. She 234 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: says that ed Buck was a different kind of criminal 235 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: and needed a different kind of prosecution. 236 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 8: So this happens a lot in a lot of our 237 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 8: cases where there baby state charges that someone can bring, 238 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 8: but the federal charges have a lot more power behind them. Right, So, 239 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 8: especially with these types of death resulting cases, we have 240 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 8: a federal statute available to us that imposes a twenty 241 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 8: year mandatory minimum if somebody's found guilty, and. 242 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: In California, Bailey says, there was no local law that 243 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 2: was as strong as the federal twenty year mandatory minimum. Essentially, 244 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 2: the Feds had a much bigger book to throw. 245 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 8: At Buck, because we have this power behind our statutes 246 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 8: that the state doesn't have. Sometimes we will bring things 247 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 8: instead of the state, and you know, sometimes that's coordinated 248 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 8: ahead of time. Sometimes the state brings charges that they 249 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 8: then dismiss in favor of federal charges. So I think 250 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 8: when you talk about this case with someone like ed Buck, 251 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 8: who you know is a danger to society and we 252 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 8: were hoping to put him away for a significant period 253 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 8: of time, the amount of time that we were looking 254 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 8: at federally was just heads and shoulders above whatever the 255 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 8: state was going to be able to bring. 256 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 2: So ed Buck, in your mind, is a special case. 257 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 8: Yes, I would say most of the death resulting cases 258 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 8: that our office does are not rising to the level 259 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 8: of criminality that you see with mister Buck, where you're 260 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 8: having not a single individual overdose, but multiple people overdosing 261 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 8: in his apartments. You're finding videos of him being very 262 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 8: controlling over these people, providing them with drugs against their 263 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 8: will in certain cases, providing them with amounts that are 264 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 8: known to be extreme, as opposed to let's say your 265 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 8: average dealer, who like you, may be soliciting. 266 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: Chelsea Narel was one of the lawyers that the US 267 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: Attorney charts with prosecuting ed Buck's case. 268 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 9: I knew that this was going to be a case 269 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 9: that rose or fell with victim testimony, and you. 270 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: Can say she handles the toughest cases. 271 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 9: I focus specifically on human trafficking and child exploitation, but 272 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 9: we also have the largest influx of drugs likely in 273 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 9: the country, certainly in California. We see it on our 274 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 9: southern border. 275 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: The key difference between where the FED started and where 276 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: the local prosecutor started was victim testimony. 277 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 9: There was not going to be a person who could 278 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 9: say I saw ed Buck administer those drugs because ed 279 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 9: Buck had killed the two people who could say that 280 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 9: those were our two death victims in the first two deaths. 281 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 9: So my strategy was to interview as many victims as 282 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 9: we possibly could to get those commonalities to build a 283 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 9: very strong, weaved narrative of these witness accounts that could 284 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 9: talk about how Buck was always the one who distributed 285 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 9: drugs because it was part of his ritual of party 286 00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 9: and play. 287 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 2: The federal process secutors had to put together a story 288 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: that a jury would understand. 289 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 9: That when Jamel Moore went to ed Buck's apartment on 290 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 9: July twenty seventh, of twenty seventeen that it could only 291 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 9: have been ed Buck who provided the drugs, because we 292 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 9: had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to twelve jurors 293 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 9: that it was in fact Buck who distributed the drugs, 294 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 9: and that the drugs were the Butt four causation, meaning 295 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 9: the direct result of the death of the two victims. 296 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 9: So to me, it was a matter of getting those 297 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 9: victims to interview and memorializing those interviews, developing trust with them, 298 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 9: earning their trust. 299 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 2: This is the key difference between the local prosecutor and 300 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 2: the feds. The resources. Let's hear from April Prayer, the 301 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 2: defence attorney, who doesn't have ties to this case. She says, 302 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 2: the FEDS are more highly trained and they print their 303 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: own money. 304 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 5: And because they're more highly trained and have better resource 305 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 5: and can do a really thorough investigation, they have a 306 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 5: ninety five percent plus conviction rate, whereas if you look 307 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 5: on the state level or the city level, at different municipalities, 308 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 5: if you're looking at police departments or sheriff's departments, they 309 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 5: don't have a lot of resources. 310 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: April Prayer, the defense attorney, says, on the local level, 311 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: especially if it's a smaller town, there isn't always the money, 312 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 2: the people, or the training for a tough case. 313 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 5: Especially if it's a murder investigation. They may not have 314 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 5: done many they may not know how to do them 315 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 5: well because they haven't done them often. They don't have 316 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 5: a lot of resources to devote to it, and so 317 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 5: they're going to make a mess of it. And so 318 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 5: there are a lot of different things that separate the 319 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 5: FED from the local authorities that may have nothing to 320 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 5: do with anything being nefarious. They don't have a whole 321 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 5: lot of practice at this and they don't have a 322 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 5: whole lot of resources. So that's why you'll see a 323 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 5: conviction rate in pretty much any state or county being 324 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 5: far lower than you will at the federal level in 325 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 5: that very same state. 326 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 2: And in this case, you had a full time lawyer 327 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 2: for the Justice Department investigating everything about ed Buck's life. 328 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 2: Here's Chelsea NoREL again. She's with the US Attorney's Office 329 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 2: for the Central District of California, which includes Los Angeles 330 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: and West Hollywood. 331 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 9: So we had to go through hundreds of thousands of files. 332 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 2: Her job was to make a case stick against ed Buck. 333 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 9: I watched personally thirty thousand videos from Bucks hard drive 334 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 9: of him engaged in party and play with various men. 335 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 9: So that took me years, and it was every day 336 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 9: twenty four to seven, no days. 337 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 2: Off, I mean years living in that darkness. Tell me 338 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: about that. 339 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 9: It's haunting. And this was during the pandemic, so I 340 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 9: was siloed often on my own working on this at home. 341 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 9: But they haunt you. And the only thing I can 342 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 9: say about how I cope with it is I also 343 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 9: look at child sexual abuse materials for my job, so 344 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 9: I am unfortunately used to looking at very disturbing images. 345 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: It was by combing through all those videos that would 346 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: allow the FEDS to corroborate the allegations against ed Buck. 347 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: They needed, however, witnesses. These were people who had been 348 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: prepared to tell local prosecutors what had happened to them, 349 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 2: but they weren't believed. And then when police would eventually 350 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: question the victims. Remember the only training share of deputies 351 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 2: got with the LGBTQ community was on flags. They would 352 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: do it in the most hand fisted way you might expect, 353 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 2: being insensitive, showing up to people's homes for interviews early 354 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: early in the morning, essentially you know, being the police. 355 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: Chelsea Narel would have to work against all of that. 356 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 2: And it was by showing mel and Timothy's families that 357 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 2: she meant business that would help prosecutors convince victims to testify. 358 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 9: Not convicting was not in my frame of mind. It 359 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 9: was not something that I even considered to be an option. 360 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 9: The anxiety and the stress of this case was how 361 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 9: am I going to get to hearing guilty nine times? 362 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 9: That's what stayed with me, That's what kept me up 363 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 9: at night. How I was going to hear guilty nine times? 364 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 9: How I was going to get that for Letitia Nixon, 365 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 9: Jamal Moore's mom, and Joanne Campbell and Joyce Jackson, two 366 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 9: of Timothy Dean's sisters, who all of whom supported me 367 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 9: tremendously through this case. 368 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 5: A drug addict is less likely to be believed than 369 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 5: the average person. 370 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,959 Speaker 2: Now, April Prayer, the defense attorney, says, as terrible as 371 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,719 Speaker 2: the crimes of ed Buck are, she would have been 372 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 2: reluctant to advise any of his victims to talk to 373 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 2: prosecutors for a variety of reasons. 374 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 5: So that's a starting point. But just in my experience 375 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 5: dealing with a client who is a drug addict, and 376 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,479 Speaker 5: pick your drug of choice. That means there might be 377 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 5: gaps in your memory. That means that you recounting something 378 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 5: to me might be unliable. It means that you might 379 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 5: not intentionally be trying to deceive me, but you might 380 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 5: have holes in your memory because of whatever drug you're on. 381 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 5: So those are some initial problems that you would have 382 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 5: just because of the drug addiction. 383 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 2: In many ways, the prosecutors were the last people along 384 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 2: the gauntlet that the potential witnesses would likely talk to. 385 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 2: April Prayer, the defense attorney, says she would have us 386 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 2: remember that these were black men who were being told 387 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 2: that their civic duty was to talk to the police. 388 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 2: Her number one piece of advice to black men especially, 389 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 2: be extremely careful with any interaction with the police, especially 390 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 2: for people like Jamel Moore or any of ed Buck's 391 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 2: nameless victims, people who are living in la far away 392 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: from their core family support. 393 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 5: You need to be even more careful when interacting with 394 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 5: law enforcement. And if you are gay, lesbie and trans, 395 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 5: I'm gonna multiply that by about ten times because I 396 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 5: have seen horble discrimination, horrible physical abuse by police against 397 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 5: gay people here and across the nation, and I would 398 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 5: also say, specifically, if you're a trance and I've seen 399 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 5: terrible discrimination in the courts by female judges against trans women. 400 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 5: In the courts, it's played out injuries, it's played out 401 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 5: and pleas has played out in a lot of different ways. 402 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: It would take a tremendous amount of effort on the 403 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 2: government's part to get withness is to tell their stories 404 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 2: to law enforcement consistently and effectively and then show up 405 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: in a federal court. Chelsea Norell, the prosecutor, says, under 406 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 2: normal circumstances, there's unpredictability with witnesses. 407 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 9: It was particularly challenging here, and I'm just so grateful 408 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 9: to the witnesses who testified at trial, who stuck with me, 409 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 9: who trusted me with their darkest, most terrifying, most humiliating, 410 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 9: and deeply personal experiences, many of whom had negative experiences 411 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 9: with law enforcement before this case, had a fundamental mistrust 412 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 9: of law enforcement, and sometimes for good reason. The fact 413 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 9: that they put their faith in me, I had to 414 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 9: reciprocate and put my faith in them and do everything 415 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 9: I could to make sure that they felt prepared, that 416 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 9: they were corroborated. So yes, it was massively challenging. 417 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 2: Were you surprised that you eventually went to trial? Like 418 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 2: it seems wild to have gone to trial in this 419 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 2: case to me, But am I wrong? 420 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 9: I'm with you. I had the same impression at the 421 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 9: outset because to me, the facts were just so egregious 422 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 9: that this seemed like the type of case that would 423 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 9: plead out. 424 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 2: Ed Buck would not take a plea agreement, and as 425 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: he awaited his day in court, the coronavirus pandemic would 426 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 2: change the world, delaying the trial. But he was ready 427 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 2: for a fight and could apparently afford to pay for 428 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: a defense, a defense that would include one of the 429 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: most famous black lawyers in American history. 430 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 9: But mister Buck made it clear fairly early on that 431 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 9: we were going to trial, and he hired trial counsel. 432 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 9: He hired Christopher Darden and Ludlow Creery, who are trying 433 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 9: a lawyers. They're known for being trial lawyers. He did 434 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 9: not hire them to just simply negotiate a plea agreement. 435 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 9: So it became clear to me that we were going 436 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 9: to go to a trial and it was going to 437 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 9: be a contentious trial. 438 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: On the next episode, we'll take a closer look at 439 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: defending ed Buck.
