Brandon would routinely walk 71 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: with me in the morning, and I'm so thankful that 72 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: he decided to sleep in and we let our daughter 73 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: Bella did her up because she she's a late sweeper. 74 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: So was this a Saturday, No, man, it was, It 75 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: was not. It was during the weekday. And this was 76 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: basically about the height of COVID, so you know, the 77 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: kids were doing distance learning and my wife, as a teacher, 78 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: was logging in and teaching her students remotely. So we 79 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: started to turn to walk down our road, Glenwood Drive, 80 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: which is a two lane road outside the city limits, 81 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: paved grass on both sides, no sidewalk. M We started 82 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: to walk west on Glenwood Drive and there's an old 83 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: golf course by us, and we would normally go walk 84 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: on that golf course because it had paid trails. Katie 85 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: didn't want to there was some do on on the ground. 86 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: She didn't want to get her legs wet because she's 87 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: probably gonna go back and take a nap before she 88 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: had to log in and remotely teach her her students. 89 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: So we decided to keep on walking down Glenwood. There 90 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: was a patch of undeveloped lots for houses, and she 91 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: had noticed when she went to go walk with the 92 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: kids in the afternoon that there was there was some 93 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: killed your birds that were nesting on the ground. She 94 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: studied ornithology in college and as a science teacher, loved 95 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: science and nature, and so she was going to come 96 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: and take me to where those killed deer were. So 97 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: we walked over to these undeveloped lots and look that 98 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: didn't see any and decided to turn back around and 99 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: go home. So then we were heading east on Glenwood Drive, 100 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: walking alongside the roadway and we got to that golf course, 101 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: and that's when my neighbor, Corny Todd Foster crossed over 102 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: the roadway and hit us boat from behind.

UM. I just 174 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: thought if she could only breathe, then everything was going 175 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: to be fine. Um. And then she let out this 176 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: gas for air, and I thought everything was going to 177 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: be fine. And then she started to take breath, short, labored, 178 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: shallow breaths, about every ten to fifteen seconds. At that point, 179 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: a neighbor of ours had stopped. I had asked Corey 180 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: what had happened, and she ran over and sat next 181 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: next to us, and she was a very calming voice. UM. 182 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: You know, we both were telling Katie to um. You 183 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: know that she that she was going to make and 184 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: everything was going to be fine, and That's when I 185 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: saw that. Um. She she wasn't blinking her her eyes 186 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: were fixed, they were staring straight up in the sky. 187 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: And then I went from begging her to breathe to 188 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: begging her to blink, UM, and she just didn't. And 189 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: then UM, fairly quickly we started to hear sirens in 190 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: the background. UM, I would stay. Within a reasonable amount 191 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: of time, firefighters and e MS showed up on scene. 192 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: They immediately started to care for Katie. UM. I saw 193 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: I heard them talking about a helicopter and then they 194 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: asked me if I had gotten hit, and I told 195 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: them that I did. They loaded me up on a 196 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: gurney put me in the back of an ambulance. That's 197 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: the last time that I that I saw Katie that day. U. 198 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: She was flown by a medical Evac helicopter to a 199 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: trauma center in Plano, Texas, approximately sixty to seventy miles away, 200 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: and I was driven to the local hospital and put 201 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: in the IC.

You know, very 204 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: shortly after what happened I kept on asking if anybody 205 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: had any information on Katie, and no, no one did. 206 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: I had gotten a call from a relative that had 207 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: told me that she wasn't gonna make it. Told me 208 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: that that the doctor said that there was nothing, that 209 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: they could do nothing, And those are those are hard 210 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: words for anybody to hear.

Let me understand something. 283 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: If he hit you so hard he thought he had 284 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: a telephone pole, how fast are they saying he was driving? John? 285 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: So they did discuss that. If you look at the 286 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: body camera footage, They asked Corey Foster, truth asked Corey 287 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: Foster how fast he was going and Corey Foster said 288 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: fifteen miles per hour. Okay, well that's BS, which lie 289 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: right there. That is another lie of course, of course 290 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: that his story is riddled with with with lives. So 291 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: the troopers were discussing that. They were discussing a conversation 292 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: that Terif had with Corey.

They were laughing, yes, ma'am.

They didn't even um. 302 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: Grayson County hired a third party firm that's that's that's 303 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: a dog documentation UM to recreat the crash. They had 304 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: a hard time doing so because of the horrible investigation 305 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: that Trooper Tree Falconty did on sing And to answer 306 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: your question with regards to where their tire marks.

The best evidence of driving under the 338 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: influence is a driving, not necessarily the blood alcohol level, 339 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: because think about it, someone who is under the influence 340 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: is going to drive Accordingly, Reckless driving is circumstantial evidence 341 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: of impairment, and this includes driving in a fashion that 342 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: is not careful for the conditions. That appears to be 343 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: the case here. I mean, think about a rain, sleet, snow, fog, 344 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: whatever it is that makes it hard to see that 345 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: requires careful driving. To do otherwise indicates impaired physical ability 346 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: as well as impaired judgment. Yeah, I mean, Wendy, you 347 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: don't have to What more do you need to know? 348 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: The guy drives all the way on the other side 349 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: of the road, going into oncoming traffic, most down to people, 350 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: smells like booze? What more do I need to know? 351 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: That is reckless driving? And Katie is dead. And this 352 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: guy still has not been brought in front bop a jury. 353 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: What is the prosecutor doing? What has he got it 354 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: so straight up his rear end? Guys, you gotta hear more. 355 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: You have to hear more of this. Take a listen 356 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: to Trooper Tariff Katibe speaking to the supervisor on the phone. 357 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: He flat out says, he goes, I can't I couldn't 358 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: see which when I leave my house, I drove directly 359 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: to the east and it was prior to this crash 360 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: happened or after, And yeah, I couldn't see. I couldn't 361 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: even see the road because I couldn't get the fog 362 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: off my windshield and then the sun driving into the sun. 363 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I get it he was blind, 364 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: but I mean he's on the wrong side of the 365 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: road too, you know, so yeah, I mean, yeah, that's it. 366 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: I can't believe he was that high still today he said, 367 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: He's like, man, I quit drinking like at eight o'clock 368 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: last night, which I'm not really buying that to be that, 369 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, at this time of day, Then why didn't 370 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: you charge him? Why didn't go in front of a jury? 371 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: Guys taking us to our cut four our friend Jen 372 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: Phillips k x II, which he passed with flying colors. 373 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: He even took a breathalyzer test and blew a point 374 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: zero six, under the legal limit. You are legally intoxicated 375 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: when your BAC reaches a point zero eight in the 376 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: state of Texas. To require a blood test in order 377 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: to find a driver's blow at alcohol level, you need 378 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: a warrant. Since Foster passed both tests, the trooper didn't 379 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: request a warrant. He blew a point oh six. Joinning 380 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: right now, special guests. In addition to John Palmer, Katie's 381 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: husband Wendy Patrick, California prosecutor Alex Oddie is with us, 382 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: the president of Mad Mother's Against Drunk Driving. Alex, I've 383 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: got a point six I've got him flying into the 384 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: wrong lane, claiming he couldn't see smelling like booze. What 385 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: why aren't they prosecuting this case. Well, first, I just 386 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: want to say, mister Palmer, I'm so very sorry for 387 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: your loss, but you're right. You know what we're looking 388 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: at is we are focused on whether or not someone 389 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: is safetop rate of vible. He may not have been. 390 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: At a point oh eight. We could not tell that 391 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: he was impaired, and so he was safe to operate 392 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: that vehicle, and it costs Katie her life, and that 393 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: is so devastating. We have a problem across the country, 394 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: but Texas is really in trouble with the drastic increases 395 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: in UI desk just since twenty nineteen, almost eighteen percent increase. 396 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out what, if anything, we can do. 397 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: Now take a listen to our cut eight our friend 398 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: Dave Mack at crime Online, just four months after his 399 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: wife was killed and he was left with a broken back. 400 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: John Palmer testified in front of a Gracing County grand 401 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: jury that will decide if Corey Foster will face trial 402 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: for manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. Talking about Corey Foster, 403 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: John Palmer said, quote his own words were that he 404 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: stayed up drinking whiskey the night before. He also told 405 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: DPS officers that he probably shouldn't have been driving because 406 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: of the condensation. After three hours of testimony, in just 407 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: one hour of deliberation, the jury declined to indict Foster. 408 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: You know, I can't help, but wonder what evidence was 409 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: put in front of that grand jury. Did they know 410 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: he blew a point six on a breadthalyzer? Because in Texas, 411 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: a field administered breadthalyzer is inadmissible in court and can 412 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: only be used for past fail evidence for further testing. 413 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: Nobody did any further testing. When this was taken to 414 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: the grand jury the first time this misgrace, there were 415 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: again there's supposed to be twelve jurors in the grand jury, 416 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: we only had ten. One person was sick. One person 417 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: accused himself. When I asked the prosecutor carry Ashmore where 418 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: the alternates were, he shrugged his shoulders and said he 419 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: didn't know. This was presented again to nine partments attendance 420 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: to the twelve. The accident reconstruction firm had completed pardon me. 421 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: Their report was completed six days after the Green jury, 422 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: so the Green jury was not given a finalized reconstruction 423 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: report at all. In addition, the district attorney told me 424 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: that they would subpoena foster cell phone records and look 425 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: to see if there was distracted driving. Okay, none of 426 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: those were done. It was only eighteen months later through 427 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: civil discovery that we obtained his phone records his grace 428 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: and found that he was in the middle of downing 429 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: a call as he hit us. So if you stack 430 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: everything up, if you stack them was his driving was 431 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: visibly impaired. And he makes that statement that his windshield 432 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: he couldn't see as soon as he left his driveway, 433 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: which is three tenth of mile away from where we 434 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: were hit. The cognitive impairment of the alcohol in this system, 435 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: and again he blew a point in zero six fifty 436 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: minutes after he hit us, Okay, so probably very close 437 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: to a point zero eight. Also, he was manually dialing 438 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: a number as he crossed over the roadway. So we 439 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: got these phone records. We submitted those two the disc 440 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: attorney's office. They reviewed them, and at this point we 441 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: had a very contentious relationship with the disc attorney's office. 442 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: As you could imagine, we had submitted those records to 443 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: the Day's office and they said they would review him, 444 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: and I got a phone call approximate. Well, I mean, 445 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: I've got got a phone call one Monday at four 446 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: thirty pm from Kerry Ashmore saying that they were going 447 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: to take the phone records in front of the grand 448 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: jury and set the grand jury wanted to move forward. Okay. 449 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: That caught me off guard and I asked if I 450 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: was going to be allowed to testify in front of 451 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: this new grand jury. He said no, they were going 452 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: to take the phone records in front of the grand 453 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: jury and if the Grain jury wanted any additional information 454 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: or evidence, then they would provide them with that. The 455 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: phone call ended, Miss Race that that that didn't seem right. 456 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: I tried to contact them again numerous times and it 457 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't take my call, so I had to text carry Ashmore, 458 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: and through our text exchange, I basically ended the text 459 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: by stating that if he wasn't going to allow us 460 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: to testify in front of the Grain jury and have 461 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: the witnesses, being the experts, that one third party that 462 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: did the crash recreation and DPS back up there and 463 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: show them the report, show them the cell phone records 464 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: and show them everything that they did in the first 465 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: grand jury, then I don't want him to move forward. 466 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: Did not get a call back. He is and also, 467 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: Miss Grace, I want to make sure you're aware that 468 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: Bret Smith also acted as a defense attorney for the 469 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: Foster family prior to be the elected BA He represented So, yes, 470 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: ma'am he so Corey fostered his wife for driving late 471 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: one night.

Guys, I want you to 487 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: take a Listen to our cut five. This is Jen 488 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: Phillips k XII. A breathalyzer test taken in the field 489 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: is inadmissible in court and can only be used as 490 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 1: a pass fail for further testing. Listen to this phone 491 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: call he makes to a supervisor while on scene. I 492 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: can't believe he was that ha still today he said, 493 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: he's like, man, I quit drinking, like I hate o'clock 494 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: last night.

And said to the 499 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: hospital to get a blood test. I would love to 500 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: know the answer to that question, because that would be 501 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: the logical next step, not just given the fact that 502 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: he's below the limit, but the driving is such strong, 503 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: circumstantial evidence of impairment you would want to know more. Yet, 504 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: and you pair that with not only his admission of 505 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: drinking whiskey, but the fact that it was still smell 506 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: is still smelled it on its breath the next day. 507 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: That is not normal over time, that and that one 508 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: goes away. You know, that's part of common knowledge. So 509 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: that would be part of why we would want to 510 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: know the decision that they made, why home instead of 511 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: the hospital They need to seek a warrant. Great, but 512 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: that could have been the next step. Joining me right now. 513 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University, author of 514 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, star of a Brandy 515 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: hit series Body Bags, with Joe Scott Morgan on iHeart 516 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: and Beyond Joe Scott, this is so much bs. The 517 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: guy is a point oh six. We don't know what 518 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: his blood was because they drove him home and so 519 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: to the hospital where they should have taken him. I 520 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: don't know why this guy, Corey Foster got special treatment 521 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: with John Palmer lying on the side of the road 522 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: with a broken back and his wife Katie dead, their 523 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: two children asleep at home. I don't get it. Explain 524 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: to me. The point six, yeah, point of six is. 525 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: In Texas legal limit for being enebriated for driving is 526 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: point zero eight and he was under that limit according 527 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: to the breathalyzer. But here's here's the problem. You don't 528 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:17,399 Speaker 1: know how much time has elapsed since Heath last took 529 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,399 Speaker 1: a drink. And what's going on chemically in anybody's body 530 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: is that you're metabolizing the alcohol, so you're burning it off. 531 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: And so the longer you wait, the longer you go 532 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: down this continuum from that moment time when the fatal 533 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: event occurred, when this vehicular homicide occurred, you're bleeding off. 534 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: You're bleeding off this alcohol level that's in his system. 535 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: And I've got a bigger problem with this, Nancy, than 536 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: simply the breathalyzer result. Here's the problem. You've got two people. 537 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: One is unfortunately deceased. You've got John who's laid up 538 00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,040 Speaker 1: in the hospital with broken back, and it seems and 539 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 1: so this would have warranted taking this individual into a 540 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: hospital to do a blood draw, because not only are 541 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: you looking for blood alcohol content in that sample, but 542 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: the hospital will do something that's called you guys can 543 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: look this up, but it's called a standard panel. And 544 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: standard panel when you roll into the er is they're 545 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: looking for any other substances in his system, Drugs, drugs, 546 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: just say it. They're looking for pots for any kind 547 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: of drug, for alcohol. Who knows what he was high 548 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: on that wouldn't show up. And here's the problem. Once 549 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: it's gone, it's gone. It's just like John had mentioned 550 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: a moment ago, and I was, you know, as an investigator, 551 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: I was just really struck by this. You know, criminals 552 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: are going to do what criminals are going to do. 553 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: But you know, there's a certain level of accountability that 554 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 1: comes in when you're talking about vps and you're talking 555 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: about the courts, and right now they have missed the 556 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 1: mark on this case. And guys, we are talking about 557 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: a beautiful young mom walking by the side of the 558 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: road with her husband on a Sunday morning when suddenly 559 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: a guy comes across the traffic to their side and 560 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 1: mows them both down with such impact he thinks he 561 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,760 Speaker 1: hit I telephone, Paul. Now, let me tell you something 562 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: else about grand juries, Wendy Patrick. That's one of the 563 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: first things my boss, the longest serving DA in the 564 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: country at that time, how to his young prosecutors learn 565 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: you put up evidence to the grand jury. If you 566 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: want them to indict, you put up the right evidence. 567 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: If you don't want them to indict, which never happened 568 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: to me. Of course you don't. Now there was a 569 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: great trial lawyer named Erming Younger and he told he 570 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: made this famous. A prosecutor can get a grand jury 571 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: to indict a ham sandwich if they want to. And 572 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: I argued till I was blue in the face. But 573 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 1: I am telling you something is wrong here because the 574 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: fact that we have just laid out should have been 575 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: a vehicular homicide indictment. He doesn't have to be point 576 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: zero eight. What he did was reckless, was a malignant heart. 577 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: As we say in the law, Why has it this 578 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: been charged? It's gotta be because that's what the projectutor wants. Well, 579 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,800 Speaker 1: when you look at what the grand jury did, you 580 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: have to ask what evidence did they have? Exactly says 581 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 1: we've all been talking about. They only can work with 582 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: what was presented to them. So if there wasn't accident reconstruction, 583 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: we don't have that ability to talk about how fast 584 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: he was going, although circumstantial. That keep coming back to 585 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: the you know what happened knocking someone out of their 586 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 1: shoes to or that they fly seventy feet. I mean, 587 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: you can imagine, probably don't need accident reconstruction to figure 588 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: out how hard that was and just go back to 589 00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: that criminal negligence recklessness in a case like this, that's 590 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: what they would be arguing. But it doesn't sound like 591 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: the grand jury had that evidence. Doctor Angela Arnold joining 592 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 1: me renowned psychiatrists out of Atlanta at Angela Arnold MD 593 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: dot com, way Y and Angie. I'll tell you one 594 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: of the most disturbing things to me that I've heard 595 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,879 Speaker 1: and listening to this was the lack of any kind 596 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: of remorse in the voice of the man who perpetrated 597 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: this crime. When none whatsoever, no remorse. I mean, he 598 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: was just it was like he was standing there just 599 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 1: trying to take up for himself. Well I couldn't see 600 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,760 Speaker 1: he just killed somebody. He might have killed two people, 601 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,280 Speaker 1: and he had ever complaint, lack of remorse, no remorse 602 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: right like he didn't know what he had done yet. Guys, 603 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: take a listen to our cut thirteen, our friend Lauren Rangel. 604 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: No words can describe the feeling that our family. It's 605 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: been over a year since his wife's death. John Palmer 606 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: says he hopes this footage will be new evidence that 607 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: could go before a grand jury and help with the 608 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: case against Corey Foster. What footage are you talking about, 609 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: John Palmer So, Miss ms Grace. When we had originally 610 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 1: got all this information from DPS through fully requests, we 611 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: had only been given true falkative's body cam in his 612 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 1: dash cam. We did not receive any of the other 613 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: troopers body cameras. That came almost a year and a 614 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: half later when we had to request that again. Then 615 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: we were allowed to have that body camera footage. It 616 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,439 Speaker 1: seems to me like the grand jury did not see 617 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: all of the evidence that we have even here at 618 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 1: Crime Stories. And let me also point out that in 619 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 1: nearly every jurisdiction in our country, you don't have to 620 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:56,359 Speaker 1: have a grand jury to bring down an indictment. There 621 00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,040 Speaker 1: are other ways to charge someone other than with a 622 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,800 Speaker 1: grand jury. But I believe if a grand jury heard 623 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 1: all the evidence that we're hearing today that does exist, 624 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: that there would be an indictment, and it doesn't have 625 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: to be for DUI vehicular hymns manslaughter. There are many 626 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: other ways this case can be prosecuted and justice can 627 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: be sought, not just for Katie, not just for John, 628 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,719 Speaker 1: but for her two children that are going to grow 629 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:32,760 Speaker 1: up wondering why nobody did anything. If you feel even 630 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: remotely the way I feel, or the way that John 631 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 1: Palmer feels, or the way his children will feel when 632 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: they grow up and understand we all sat by and 633 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: did nothing. I ask you don't just sit there and 634 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: think about it. Do something.

It doesn't feel like we have 660 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 1: a voice at all. No, ma'am, no, ma'am. All we've 661 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: asked for was was justice.
