Courtney Burgess, 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 3: a longtime friend of the late Kim Porter, has emerged 31 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 3: as a crucial figure in the unfolding narrative.

The defense 40 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 4: attorneys specifically cite Courtney Burgess's eagerness to speak with the 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 4: media and a New York Post article using a federal 42 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 4: agent as a source as improper pre trial publicity that 43 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 4: is making it impossible for Combs to have a fair trial. 44 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: Comb's attorneys say the complainants are motivated to tarnish his image, 45 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: especially as civil cases loom. Judge Subramanian has not yet 46 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: ruled on a gag order.

He reminded everyone to uphold confidentiality, 48 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 3: but did not find sufficient evidence of intentional misconduct. 49 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 5: I'm Nicole Parton. Karen Reid is challenging a decision made 50 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 5: by a lower court that rejected her request to dismiss 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 5: two charges as she prepares for retrial. Her legal team 52 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 5: is appealing to the Massachusetts Supreme Court, arguing that retrying 53 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 5: her for these charges related to the twenty twenty two 54 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 5: death of her Boston Police officer boyfriend, constitutes double jeopardy. 55 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 5: On Wednesday, Reed and her attorneys presented their case before 56 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 5: the Massachusetts Supreme Court in Boston, contesting the ruling made 57 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 5: by a superior court judge. 58 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 4: How do we factor in that you've got to know 59 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 4: that that's going to be on the table. 60 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: Is that a mistrial? 61 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: And what obligation is there on council to say, hey, 62 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: before you declare a mistrial, let's talk about alternatives to that. 63 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 5: The appeal is timely, as Reid's retrial is scheduled to 64 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 5: commence in January, following a previous trial that concluded in 65 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 5: July with a hung jury. Prosecutors alleged that Red ran 66 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 5: over John O'Keefe with her SUV after a night of 67 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 5: drinking on January twenty nine, twenty twenty two, and left 68 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 5: him behind. Oh Key forty six was discovered hours later, 69 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 5: severely injured and covered in snow in the front yard 70 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 5: of a retired police officer, Brian Albert, where Reed had 71 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 5: dropped him off after a late night gathering. The medical 72 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 5: examiner attributed O'Keefe's death to blunt impact injuries of the 73 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 5: head and hypothermia, but could not definitely determine if his 74 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 5: death was accidental or homicide. Reid faced charges including second 75 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 5: degree murder, motor vehicle manslaughter while driving under the influence, 76 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 5: and leaving the scene of a fatal crash. She pleaded 77 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 5: not guilty during her three month trial. Her defense argued 78 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 5: that she did not run over her boyfriend, that she 79 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 5: did not realize that he was left alone to die. 80 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 5: After five days of deliberation, the jury could not reach 81 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 5: a verdict, leading the judge to declare a mistrial. Following 82 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 5: that trial, some jurors reportedly expressed the Reed's attorneys that 83 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 5: they had unanimously agreed in private to acquit her of 84 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 5: the second degree murder charges, but struggled to communicate this 85 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 5: to the judge. In light of that information, and Reed's 86 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 5: attorneys filed a motion to have these two charges dismissed 87 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 5: to prevent double jeopardy. However, in August, a judge denied 88 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 5: this motion, stating that since Reid had not been acquitted 89 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 5: of all charges and consented to a mistrial, the double 90 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 5: jeopardy clause did not apply. 91 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: I'm Jennifer Goold, a parole in Kentucky who was recently 92 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 2: released from prison, is back behind bars. Dustin Coddle, a 93 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,679 Speaker 2: man who served twenty seven years for murdering his mother 94 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: and brother when he was a teen has been arrested 95 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: for allegedly committing another horrific act of violence just four 96 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: months after his release from prison. Caudle, now forty three, 97 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: stands accused of a double homicide and arson. The violent 98 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 2: crimes of cadd Ill's past echoed throughout the courtroom at 99 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 2: his recent hearing. Take a listen, considering his history. 100 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 3: I'm asking for at least in the indag jag. 101 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 2: I think that's appropriate, and I'm going to say ter 102 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: bond at one million dollars cash. It was just before 103 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 2: five am when Elizabethtown Fire Department responded to the five 104 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: hundred block of Hennon Lane for a residential fire. However, 105 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: when firefighters entered the home, they made a gruesome discovery. 106 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: The bodies of Blake France, forty one and Anthony Garrett, 107 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: forty three, were found shot to death inside the home. 108 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,119 Speaker 2: Witnesses reported seeing a gold pickup truck fleeing the scene 109 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 2: before the flame started, leading investigators straight to caddel. He 110 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: was taken into custody at a nearby motel, where police 111 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: discovered incriminating evidence on him, including the victim's belongings. According 112 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: to authorities, cald Ill readily confessed to the crimes. He 113 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: admitted to fatally shooting both France and Garrett, then setting 114 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: the house on fire to cover up the crime. The 115 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: motive for this brutal act remains unclear. Back in nineteen 116 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 2: ninety four, at the tender age of fifteen, Coddle committed 117 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: a similar act of violence, taking the lives of his 118 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: own mother and brother. He claimed his actions were fueled 119 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: by arguments and a tumultuous family environment. Codd Ill now 120 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: faces a multitude of charges, including two counts of murder 121 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: first degree, arson, tampering with physical evidence, and possession of 122 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: a firearm by a convicted felon.
