0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Breezia Terrell's mother a sum of one hundred and fifty

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars. Following the girl's abduction in July twenty twenty,

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>thousands of volunteers and multiple lawn form HOSMHEN agencies conducted

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>extensive searches. Her body was eventually discovered by fishermen in

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 2>a remote location north of Davenport, In March twenty twenty one,

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 2>fifty one year old Dinkins was found guilty of first

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>degree murder and kidnapping by Judge Henry Latham. Last month,

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 2>he received life sentences without the possibility of parole. In

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>May twenty twenty one, prosecutors brought charges against Dinkins, claiming

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>he had abducted Terrell and fatally shot her. She had

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.320

<v Speaker 3>found guilty in nineteen ninety at the age of seventeen

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 3>of third degree sexual abuse. Judge Latham said the brother,

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 3>who was just eight when Terrell disappeared, played a crucial

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 3>role in solving the case. Denkin's son later gave investigators

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 3>details about accompanying his father to a Walmart to buy

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 3>bleach and traveling to a site that matched the description

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 3>of where Terrell's body was found.

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Months later, the trial had been moved to Cedar Rapids

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 2>when the Iowa Supreme Court granted a change of venue,

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 2>but just before it began, Dinkins decided to have the

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>case heard in front of a judge. Because of that,

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the trial was moved back to the Scott County Courthouse

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 2>in Davenport following a chaotic scene in which a car

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 2>crashed into the lobby of the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>The driver has been shot by police and later died

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>at the hospital. The embassy is situated on a busy

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 2>boulevard across from the city's Japantown district, and police in

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco claimed they had no idea why the unidentified

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 2>driver crashed through the front of the building. The Chinese

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Consulate General issued a statement calling the incident quote a

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>violent attack. Earlier, police had responded to a report of

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>a car crashing into the consulate and ordered people to

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>stay away from the area. A blue Honda vehicle could

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>be seen on surveillance video entering the consulate's visa office lobby.

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Police did not say how many cops fired, what happened

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>during the shooting, or whether the motorist was carrying a weapon.

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>There were no reports of anyone inside the building being hurt.

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street journal writer Ivan Gershkovich will stay in jail

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 2>until at least November thirtieth, after losing his plea to

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>be freed from espionage charges. Once again, crime online Sidney Sumner.

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 3>Wearing a blue button up over a T shirt and

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 3>Jean's thirty one year old Gerskovich appeared in the defendant's

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 3>glass cage at Moscow City Court with a largely expressionless face.

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.559
<v Speaker 3>As of September twenty ninth, he had spent six months

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.599
<v Speaker 3>behind bars. Gerskovich had gone before a judge for the

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 3>second time in less than a month to challenge an

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 3>August decision to keep him in pre trial detention until November,

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 3>citing unidentified procedural errors. The court declined to hear the

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 3>appeal on September nineteenth. It was in March that the

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 3>reporter was arrested while on assignment in yak Turnberg, approximately

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 3>twelve hundred miles east of Moscow. Since prosecutors claimed that

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 3>certain information regarding the criminal case is confidential, the court

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 3>sessions are closed. As per the allegations made by the

0:04:55.640 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 3>Russian Federal Security Service, Gerskovich allegedly gathered classified information on

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 3>the operations of a Russian military industrial complex firm while

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 3>following orders from the United States. According to US authorities,

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Kruskovich is being wrongfully held.

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>The journalist and the journal both deny any wrongdoing.

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Parker when shots ring out. Parker owed a third party,

<v Speaker 1>then they take off. Ford's family unsure if her disappearance

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.440
