11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 2: to leave Swelley while he slept. Police interviewed Swelley shortly

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: after Smith's death and asked for a second interview after

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: Swelley gave contradictory information. At that point, Swelley lawyered up

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: and refused to give another interview unless he was granted

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: immunity from prosecution. While cops built their case against Swilley,

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: he made several Facebook posts about Smith's death, even writing quote,

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: it's hard not having you to talk to but I

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,320

Speaker 1: installs blue lights on his car and tries to impersonate

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: a police officer, flipping his lights on to pull over

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: a driver, but as he gets closer he realizes it's

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: an unmarked cop car. He takes off with a real

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: cop hot on his tail. The undercover cruiser eventually loses Husley,

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: but he's located a short time later and booked on

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,560

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: Police homicide detectives believe the victim was not supposed to

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: be a part of the brawl, which the students agreed

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: would take place after classes end for the day at

38
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,440

Speaker 2: was documented on camera by a cell phone and shared

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: widely on social media. The video, according to Johansson, is

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: quote very devoid of humanity. In the cell phone footage,

Speaker 2: the victim can be seen getting ready for the fight

46
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,880

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: custody by the FBI and Las Vegas Police. Since they

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,600

58
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,440

00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: one that put Theirnose founder Elizabeth Holmes behind bars for

Speaker 2: the proceedings. The judge rendered a default judgment against them.

76
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: According to Alison Knowles, the victim's attorney, the decision quote

77
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: demonstrates that this kind of conduct is abhorrent and won't

78
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: be tolerated, even though she assumes Damon McCollum may never

79
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: receive the damages. The two white men made threats and

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,159

00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: default judgment was issued last month by Justice Richard Mulhern

84
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: of the Superior Court. Noel stated that after initially contributing

85
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,920
