00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm Jackie Howard. Four days after thirteen year old Oscar

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: Omar Hernandez's reported missing, a body is found over seventy

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: miles away, dumped in a wooded area off a road

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: near Leo Carrello State Park. The remains are confirmed to

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: be Hernandez. The same day Oscar Hernandez's body is discovered,

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: his soccer coach, forty three year old Mario Garcia Aquino,

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: is arrested, but not in connection to Oscar. Garcia Aquino

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: is accused of attempting to molest a sixteen year old boy.

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: The teen spent the night with Garcia Aquino and felt

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: extremely sleepy after drinking an orange juice offered him. He

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: told police Garcia Aquino twice tried to pull down his pants,

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: but he fought the man off and called nine to

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: one one. The incident occurred more than a year ago,

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: in February of twenty twenty four. We now learn more

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: about Hernandez's relationship with Garcia Aquino. Hernandez is out playing

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: soccer when the coach approaches the boy, telling him he's

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: impressed with his skills. When Garcia akeno offers him one

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: on one lessons without charge. Oscar jumps at the chance.

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: The two meet for lessons at least once a week.

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: Just before Hernandez goes missing, Coach Garcia Aikeno gives his

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: star student a call inviting Oscar to make some money

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: doing a few odd jobs at his Lancaster home. Oscar,

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: a hard worker, jumps at the chance. Before getting permission

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 2: from his family, Oscar hops on the next train to Lancaster,

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: a two hour trip. Oscar facetimes his brother from the train,

27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: telling him Coach will drop him home tomorrow morning, but

28
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: Oscar doesn't come home and isn't answering his phone. When

29
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: hernandez family finally gets Coach Garcia Achino on the phone,

30
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: he says he dropped Oscar off that afternoon in North Hollywood,

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: but strangely claims he can't remember exactly where Oscar got

32
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: out of the car. For more on this investigation, watch

Speaker 1: The decades long fight for freedom for Lyle and Eric

39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: Menendez took a dramatic turn Friday, as a van Ey's

40
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: courtroom ignited with a flicker of hope. Judge Michael Jessic

41
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: delivered a stinging defeat to LA District Attorney Nathan Hoffman,

42
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: rejecting his bid to block the brothers re sentencing. This

43
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 1: pivotal decision keeps Lyle fifty seven and Eric fifty four

44
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: alive in their thirty five year battle over the brutal

45
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine shotgun murders of their parents, Jose and

46
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: Kitty Menendez. Defense attorney Mark Geragos erupted in praise, hailing

47
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: the ruling that allows resentencing hearings to proceed next week

48
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: April seventeenth and eighteenth. Here he is at the courthouse

49
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: talking to the media. Take a listen.

50
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: Today is a good day justice. Justice won over politics.

51
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: It's been a long time coming for anybody who was

52
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: in the courtroom. It was very difficult to sit and

53
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: listen to what we witnessed, and we were obviously very

54
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: thankful to the judge. When I couldn't be proud of

55
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: representing this family. They've waited a long time to get

56
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: some justice in today. Who's actually probably the biggest day

57
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: since they've been in custody.

58
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: Had Judge Jessic sided with Hawkman, the entire re sentencing

59
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: process would have collapsed, likely condemning the brothers to life

60
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: without parole and extinguishing any realistic chance of parole. Convicted

61
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety six, Lyle and Eric claimed self defense,

62
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: alleging years of horrific sexual abuse by their father, Jose,

63
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: as the motive for the Beverly Hill slangs. Prosecutors, however,

64
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: argued that greed for the family's fourteen million dollar estate

65
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: was the true catalyst. After a contentious legal battle marked

66
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: by a mistrial and a second trial that limited abuse evidence,

67
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: the brothers were handed life sentences. A glimmer of hope

68
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: emerged in twenty twenty four when former LADA George Gascone,

69
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: citing new evidence, including Eric's nineteen eighty eight letter detailing

70
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: abuse and a Menudo member's rape allegations against Jose, pushed

71
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: for resentencing. However, Hawkman, elected in November, fiercely opposed this,

72
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: arguing the brothers perceived lack of full accountability negated their eligibility.

73
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Next week's hearings will be a crucial examination of the

74
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: brother's rehabilitation, their achievements behind bars, and their long health

75
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: claims of abuse. A resentencing to a term that includes

76
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: parole eligibility considering their youth at the time of the

77
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: crime hangs in the balance. While Garrigos decried Hawkman's opposition

78
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: as a politically motivated move, relatives have voice support for

79
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: the brother's release. Even if resentencing fails, The possibility of

80
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: clemency from California Governor Gaffaussom or a future habis petition

81
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: for a new trial still looms. The stage is now

82
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: set for a high stakes week that could either finally

83
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: grant the Menanda's brothers a chance at freedom or slam

84
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: the door shut on their decades long struggle.

85
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: I'm Drew Nelson, a ninety seven year old woman freezes

86
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 4: to death in Colorado after a family member allegedly leaves

87
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: her outside during a snowstorm, with the coroner ruling it

88
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: a homicide. Corey Brewer was last seen January twenty fourth.

89
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 4: She had been visiting family in El Paso County. Her

90
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 4: family reported her missing the next day. Deputies found her

91
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: body two days after that outside the Demandon home near

92
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: judge Or Road and Calahan Highway. The coroner's report said

93
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 4: Brewer was dropped off at the property without her walker,

94
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: phone or any way to get help. Temperatures at the

95
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 4: time dropped as low as sixteen with snow and wind.

96
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 4: The autopsy confirmed her cause of death was hypothermia. The

97
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: coroner determined that she had been quote intentionally left in

98
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 4: the cold without any way to return home, get to

99
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: adequate shelter, or call for help. The report concluded, quote

100
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 4: due to these circumstances, the manner of death is homicide.

101
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 4: One of Brewer's daughters, who has not been publicly named,

102
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: is alleged to be the person who left her there.

103
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 4: Brewer had eleven children.

104
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: We just want it brought out to the light of

105
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: she she is gone, and we would hope that someone

106
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: would take the time to provide answers.

107
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 4: For the family. Brewer's grandson Paul Brewer Junior, and granddaughter

108
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 4: Shari Robinson speaking to Casey NC, my.

109
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: Mother is deceased and somebody needs to be held accountable

110
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: for that.

111
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 4: The El Paso County Sheriffs Offices asked the District attorney

112
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: to review the case and decide whether charges will be filed.

113
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 5: I'm nicol Parton. Taylor Swift has been hit with a lawsuit.

114
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 5: A Florida artist named Kimberly Morasco has filed a lawsuit

115
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 5: against Swift, alleging copyright infringement and mentioning several celebrities in

116
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 5: her legal claims. Morosco, who has previously taken legal action

117
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 5: against Swift, filed another lawsuit in February against the songwriter

118
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 5: and Jack Antonoff and Aaron Destner, as well as Universal

119
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 5: Music Group Incorporated and Republic Records. Last year, she sued

120
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: Swift and Taylor Swift Productions. While Swift was dismissed from

121
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 5: that case, the allegations against Taylor Swift Productions remained active.

122
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 5: Morosco's initial lawsuit against Swift began in April twenty four,

123
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 5: where she contended that some of Swift's music and music

124
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 5: videos contained creative elements that mirror her on work without

125
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 5: permission or acknowledgment. In her complaint, Roscoe cites multiple songs

126
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 5: and music videos from Swift's albums, including Lover, Folklore, Midnights,

127
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 5: and The Tortured Poets Department In a related note, Kanye West,

128
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 5: now known as Yee, made headlines earlier this week with

129
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: a viral comment about Swift before deleting it from his

130
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: social media. On Monday, West shared his thoughts on x

131
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 5: formerly Twitter with his thirty three million followers regarding why

132
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 5: he believes he was barred from performing at the super Bowl.

133
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 4: Quote.

134
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 5: I was never allowed to do the super Bowl because

135
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 5: of three moments, George Bush, doesn't care about black people,

136
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 5: the Taylor Swift movement, and wearing a MAGA hat, he wrote,

137
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: referencing his support for Donald Trump's campaign. He added, how

138
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 5: does it feel to be the best living artist and

139
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 5: block from the main stage for being ahead of my time?

140
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 5: And I say this was all before I went full Nazi,

141
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 5: of course, before removing the post, it garnered one point

142
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 5: two million views, twenty eight thousand likes, and over fourteen

143
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 5: hundred comments. Notably, West has never headlined a super Bowl halftime,

144
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 5: although he did co headline a Super Bowl concert with

145
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 5: Rihanna in twenty fifteen. Taylor Swift has not commented on

146
