Speaker 2: Taylor was arrested by Baton Rouge Police on Friday after

00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: detectives shared images through crime Stoppers, prompting tips from the

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: community that helped pinpoint his whereabouts. The incident reportedly happened

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: in broad daylight on Thursday, and the swift response from

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: local residents played a key role in Taylor's identification and

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: subsequent arrest. Within minutes of releasing those images, we received

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: numerous calls from the public that led us directly to

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: the suspect's location, stated Baton Rouge Police Chief TJ.

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Morris.

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: Our. Detectives acted quickly and arrested him shortly after in

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: that same area. Taylor has been booked into the East

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,040

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,880

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: is currently being held without bond. When questioned by the

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: media after his arrest, he denied the allegations.

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, ma'am, rape, no com Batteryman Chief

21
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 3: Morse expressed his disbelief at the nature of the crime,

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: particularly against such a vulnerable member of society, saying, in

23
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: parted is appalling and completely unacceptable to exploit the elderly

24
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 3: in this manner.

25
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: I struggle to find the right words to convey the

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: gravity of this situation, he remarked. According to WAFB, Taylor

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: has a history of arrest for offenses such as rape, burglary,

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: and unauthorized entry, all of this in the past two years.

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: He had been released from jail in January after a

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: previous charge was dismissed by the East Baton Rouge District

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: Attorney's office. Morris acknowledged the troubling pattern of Tler's past offenses,

32
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,279
Speaker 2: expressing frustration at the judicial system's handling of the case.

33
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: The situation raises many questions that I wish I could

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: address with a judicial system, he said, voicing the concerns

35
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: of his department and officers. Local residents described the victim

36
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: as a familiar face in the neighborhood, often seeing her

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: outside caring for her yard. It's just terrible this kind

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: of thing doesn't happen around here, said a neighbor who

39
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: wished to remain anonymous.

40
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 4: This is horrible, you know. Satan is busy, you know,

41
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: and it is just bad. Stuff like this don't usually

42
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 4: happen around here, and you know, everybody looks up Jell

43
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 4: as a sweet woman.

44
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: Reports indicate that the victim suffered broken bones as a

45
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: result of the assault. The investigation is ongoing. For Crime

46
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: and Justice News after this, remember the Wisconsin man who

47
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: killed his parents and stole their money to fund his

48
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: plan to kill President Donald Trump with a bomb that

49
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: he planned to drop by drone.

50
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Well, he has been sentenced to life in prison.

51
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: Nikita Cassip, eighteen, pleaded guilty in January to two counts

52
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: a first degree intentional homicide. This, according to police records,

53
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: with the shooting deaths of his mother, Tatiana Cassip and

54
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: stepfather Donald Mayer in twenty twenty five. Prosecutors dropped seven

55
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: other charges in a plea deal, including two counts of

56
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: hiding a.

57
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Corpse and theft.

58
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: First degree intentional homicide carries a mandatory life sentence. The

59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: only question as Judge Ralph Ramirez begin the sentencing hearing, Thursday,

60
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: was whether he would make Cassup eligible for parole at

61
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: some point. Calling Cassip's offenses horrific and inexplicable, Ramirez ultimately

62
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: handed down two life sentences with no chance at a parole.

63
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: The judge said he didn't have a crystal ball that

64
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: would tell him when Cassip would change. If ever, I

65
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: choose to find he's not eligible for extended real life

66
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 2: because I do not know if and when he will

67
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: ever make a change in his life. According to a

68
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: criminal complaint, investigators believe the boy shot his stepfather and

69
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: mother at their home in the village of Wakesha around

70
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: February eleven, twenty five. He lived with the decomposing bodies

71
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: for two weeks before fleeing across the country in his

72
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: stepfather's SUV with fourteen thousand dollars in cash, jewelry, passports,

73
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: his stepfather's gun, and the family dog. He was eventually

74
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: arrested during a traffic stop in Kansas. Federal authorities have

75
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: accused Cassap of planning his parents murder, buying a drone

76
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: and explosive, and sharing his plans with others that he

77
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 2: had planned to build a bomb and then drop that

78
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: bomb by drone and kill President Donald Trump. A police
