Speaker 3: sentence for more. We turned to Sidney Sumner with Crime Online.

31
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: As part of a plea agreement with Cuyahoga County prosecutors,

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: thirty one year old Danisha Brent of Parma, Ohio pled

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,639
Speaker 2: guilty to aggravated murder and other crimes. As a result,

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: the prosecution dismissed charges that might have resulted in her

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: receiving the death penalty. She won't be eligible for parole

36
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: for at least thirty five years after serving her time.

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: Both the defense and the prosecution agreed that Brent had

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: a history of mental illness, including a schizophrenia diagnosis. She

39
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: was found to be confident to stand trial, nevertheless, following

40
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: a court mandated mental health evaluation. According to the authorities,

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: in April twenty twenty one, Brent drove her son Kamiree,

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: to a hotel in Brooklyn so he could use their

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: indoor pool. She also lavished him with candy during their

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: time at the hotel. She did, however, ultimately shoot the

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: boy eleven times in their room. After that, she phoned

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: the police and reported that roughly thirty minutes earlier, an

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: unidentified man had shot her and her son in their room.

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: Authority said she later admitted to fabricating the story.

49
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: The motive behind the killing has still not been revealed

50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: by officials. A Utah mother of six has pleaded guilty

51
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: to child abuse charges. Ruby Frankie will serve time in

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: prison for attempting to convince her two youngest children that

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: they were evil, possessed, and in need of punishment for

54
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: their sins. Standing before a court, shackled and in a

55
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 3: white and gray jail uniform, Ruby Frankie closed her eyes

56
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: took a deep breath before speaking She then pleaded guilty

57
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: to each of her first three counts. She held back

58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: on some emotion on the fourth count and then spoke saying,

59
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: with my deepest regret and sorrow for my family and

60
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: my children guilty. Prosecutors detailed some of the abuse the

61
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: children endured, including Frankie forcing her son's head under water,

62
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: smothering him with her hands, and kicking him while wearing boots.

63
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: Frankie also forced her ten year old daughter to run

64
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: barefoot on roads and withheld food and water as punishment.

65
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: According to the Tribune, Frankie claims her longtime business partner,

66
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: Jody Hildebrandt, twisted their friendship. Frankie claims Hildebrandt isolated her

67
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: from her extended family and older children, and her husband,

68
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: Kevin Frankie. She says this distorted her sense of morality

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: shaped by Miss Hildebrandt's influence. Frankie accepted a prison sentence

70
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: as part of a plea agreement. She will be sentenced

71
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: in February. After a twhile the Jonathan Major's thought would

72
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: prove him innocent and elevate him back to the position

73
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: of rising Hollywood store, he has been found guilty of

74
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: beating his ex girlfriend. Majors was subsequently fired by Walt

75
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 3: Disney Studios and Marvel Studio shortly after the verdict. Once again,

76
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: Sidney Somner.

77
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: Thirty four year old Majors was found guilty by a

78
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: Manhattan jury of one minor assault charge and one harassment

79
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: by elation. The charges stemmed from a March dispute with

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: his then girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. She said he assaulted her

81
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: in a vehicle, leaving her in what she described as

82
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: excruciating pain. Major's attorneys claimed Jabari was the aggressor. Majors,

83
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: who was found not guilty of aggravated harassment in another

84
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: assault charge, cast a downward glance and remained silent during

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: the reading of the verdict. As he exited the courthouse,

86
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: he declined to comment. Following the conviction, Marvel and Disney

87
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: promptly remove the Creed three star from all planned projects.

88
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: This according to a person close to the studio who

89
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: spoke anonymously because he was not allowed to discuss the

90
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: case in public.

91
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: Sentencing for Majors is scheduled for February sixth.

92
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: Thanks Jackie Chelsea Grim makes plans to go to a

93
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: family wedding in Connecticut with her parents. Grim decides to

94
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: drive after finding out her pet lizard would not be

95
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: allowed on a plane. She drives from San Diego to Phoenix,

96
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,240

97
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Grim cancels lunch plans with the group the next day

98
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: and insists she needs to get going that evening. She

99
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: tries to book room at a motel in Seligman, a

100
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: detour from the route to Connecticut. She seems disoriented and

101
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: tries to give the desk attendant euros. Grim calls her

102
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: parents to let them know she won't make the wedding,

103
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,560

Speaker 1: is found in a remote wooded area with two flat tires,

107
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: her purse, the lizard, and a sleeping bag missing from
