00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Crime al Art hourly update, breaking crime news Now, I'm

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Drew Nelson. Charlie Kirk shooting suspect Tyler Robinson will be

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: allowed to wear civilian clothing in court in Utah while

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: he awaits trial for the assassination of the conservative activist,

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: but a judge's ruled he must remain restrained during proceedings

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: for safety reasons. During a virtual hearing on Monday, judge

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: Tony graff said Robinson's right to the presumption of innocence

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: outweighs the inconvenience of dressing him in street clothes, noting

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: the case's extraordinary public attention. Robinson's lawyer argued pre trial

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: news coverage featuring his client in prison garb could result

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: in jurbias, but grafft did not go as far as

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Robinson hoped. He denied the request to remove the restraints,

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: citing the seriousness of the aggravated murder charge, which could

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: bring the death penalty. Robinson, aged twenty two, appeared remotely

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: from jail with his camera off and his next schedule

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: to appear January sixteenth and January thirtieth. As Robinson prepares

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: for trial, his transgender partner Lance Twiggs has mysteriously vanished

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: from Saint George h Utah six weeks after the shooting

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: September tenth. Authorities say Twiggs, who is also twenty two,

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: received a string of text messages from Robinson confessing to

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: the killing and detailing his attempts to hide the weapon

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: before turning himself in. Twiggs, who had been living with

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: Robinson after being estranged from his devout Mormon parents, has

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: not been seen at the couple's eighteen hundred dollars a

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: month apartment since Robinson's arrest. His Infinity FX thirty five

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: now sits in his parents driveway. Neighbours say the home

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: has been quiet, and local police have not confirmed his

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: current whereabouts. Relatives and former friends described Twigs as a

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: bright student who struggled after being kicked out of his

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: family home in twenty eighteen. He reportedly reconciled with his

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: parents in recent years, as is shown by recent Venmo

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: payments labeled for prescriptions and gas money from family members.

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: Investigators maintained that Twiggs is not charged with any crime

34
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: and has been cooperating with authorities, but his disappearance has

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: fueled speculation amid the ongoing fallout from one of the

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: most politically explosive murders in modern US. His haid, Charlie Kirk,

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: aged thirty one, was the outspoken founder of Turning Point USA,

38
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: launched in twenty twelve to rally college students around Republican causes.

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Kirk had been on a national campus tour aimed at

40
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: mobilizing young conservative voters when he was shot and killed

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: at Utah Valley University in Orum, his death sending shockwaves

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: through political circles and drawing tributes from President Trump and

43
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: other GOP leaders who called him a martyr for the

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: conservative movement. More Crime and Justice news. After this, a

45
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: North Carolina woman says a DNA test revealed she was

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: conceived through what she calls medical rape by her mother's

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: fertility doctor more than forty years ago. Now forty three

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: years old, Summer McKesson of Atlanta made the discovery after

49
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: years of medical problems that left doctors puzzled.

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty, I found out that I had

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: blood clots in my heart and lungs. A year later,

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: I had to have open heart surgery.

53
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: That surgery come at age forty. Her surgeon later noticed

54
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: her connective tissue was unusually fragile and suggested testing from

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: Marfan syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that can cause

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: cardiovascular failure if left untreated. When her geneticists confirmed the diagnosis,

57
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: McKesson tells CNN she was shocked neither of her parents

58
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: had the condition. She turned to genetic testing twenty three

59
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: and meters, hoping for clues about her health. Instead, she

60
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: found seven half siblings that she'd never met.

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: My oldest half sibling is sixty one and the youngest

62
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: is thirty nine.

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: One month later, one of those siblings sent a message

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: suggesting that she asked her parents if they had gone

65
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: to see a doctor named Charles Pete. Mckesson's mother, Laurie Kruppa,

66
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: confirmed that she had been a patient of doctor Pete

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: at Duke University Hospital in the early nineteen eighties. Kroppas

68
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: said Pete told her that donor sperm would come from

69
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: a medical resident. Instead, he secretly used his own.

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that they had IVF for sperm

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: donation back then, and so it was a shock. It

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: was almost paralyzing when I first found out to find

73
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: out my dad wasn't my dad.

74
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: McKesson and another half sibling, Jim Harris. Both discovered their

75
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: mothers were inseminated by Pete without consent.

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: Back then, they couldn't freeze firms, so it had to

77
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: be fresh, and it was supposed to be an anonymous

78
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: medical student that looks like my dad.

79
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Doctor Pete, who died in twenty thirteen at age eighty nine,

80
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: was once a respected obgyn and mentor at Duke. DNA

81
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: testing now suggests he fathered at least twelve children outside

82
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: his family, possibly more. Duke Health later acknowledged quote unacceptable

83
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: actions by a former physician and said such conduct quote

84
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: should never have happened. Fertility fraud, which is when a

85
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: doctor misrepresents the source of donor material, is not a

86
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: crime in North Carolina, though fourteen other states have passed

87
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: laws against it. McKesson and her mother say they have

88
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: considered civil action, but see few options since Pete is

89
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: deceased and no criminal state applies. A man dressed as

90
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: a Nazi officer is arrested in downtown Athens, Georgia, after

91
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: allegedly hitting a University of Georgia student in the face

92
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: with a glass pitcher. Police identified the suspect as thirty

93
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: three year old Kenneth Morgan, who was charged with felony

94
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: aggravated assault and simple battery following the violin encounter outside

95
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: Cutter's Pub on Clayton Street. The confrontation, captured on video

96
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: shows Morgan wearing a black Nazi style uniform with a

97
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: red swastik armband as onlookers shout at him to leave.

98
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: You can hear the crowd reaction as the alleged assault

99
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: takes place.

100
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: This is a terrible.

101
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Is a serious no, no, no, no. Witnesses said Morgan

102
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: tried to enter the bar when a group of women,

103
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: including UGA student Grace Lange, confronted him, laying tells UGA's

104
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 1: newspaper and black. She tried to block him from entering

105
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: and grabbed for his armband. That's the moment that Morgan

106
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: allegedly swung a large glass pitcher, striking her in the face.

107
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: Lang said she suffered a broken nose that required four

108
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: stitches and swelling around her left eye. In a statement,

109
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: the University of Georgia says Morgan is not a student

110
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: and had no affiliation with the school. Quote his actions,

111
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: which were caught on videotape, are appalling and we are

112
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: grateful to Athens Clark County police officers for swiftly apprehending

113
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: and arresting him. The incident has shocked students across the campus,

114
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: especially members of Athens Jewish community, who called it a

115
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: disturbing act of hate. Rabbi Mihoil Refsen, the co director

116
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: of habbad Uga, spoke to wanf the Nazi symbol is

117
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: the symbol of absolute evil. It's a symbol of you know, hey,

118
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: it's painful, it's upsetting, and it's hurtful.

119
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: You know, my grandmother was Outschwitz survivor.

120
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: Students have gathered near the bar and the days following

121
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: the attack, condemning the Nazi costumed perp and applauding those

122
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: who intervened. Rights groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center,

123
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: have also denounced the Nazi imagery, calling it an example

124
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: of quote hateful, violent speech that should not be tolerated.

125
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Morgan spent four nights in the Athens Clark County jail

126
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: before posting a fifteen thousand dollars bond. The woman he

127
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: allegedly assaulted continues to recover from her injuries. For the
