19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,520

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: when she spots someone walking around in the kitchen. Cops arrive,

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,760

00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,240

33
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: We begin in Maine as a woman who lost both

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: her husband and son in the state's deadliest mass shooting

35
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: is now seeking access to the gunman's military and medical

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: records in a search for answers. Cynthia Young, whose family

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: was among the victims of the October twenty fifth shooting

38
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: in Lewiston, has been granted legal authority to pursue these records.

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: A judge approved Young's petition to become the Special Administrator

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: of Robert Card's estate, giving her the power to obtain

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: records on behalf of herself, other grieving families, and attorneys

42
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 3: preparing potential lawsuits. The records Young as seeking could provide

43
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: crucial insight into Card's mental health and his service as

44
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: an Army reservist, where his medical history includes treatment at

45
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: two hospitals. Card, a forty year old Army reservist, open

47
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: including Young's husband, Bill and her fourteen year old son, Aaron,

48
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: who were at a local bowling alley. The second attack

49
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: took place at a bar and grill where a cornhole

50
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: tournament was being held. An independent investigation has since revealed

51
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: that both the Army Reserve and law enforcement missed key

52
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: opportunities to intervene in cards growing psychiatric crisis, which might

53
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: have prevented the attack. According to Young's petition, someone must

54
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: oversee the estate to sign releases for vital records as

55
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: part of ongoing investigations into the deadly event now to

56
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: New Mexico as a major scandal involving Albuquerque's police department

57
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: and allegations of corruption are coming to light, sparking both

58
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: state and federal investigations. Let's bring in Crime online Sidney

60
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: A lawsuit filed late Monday by the American Civil Liberties

61
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: Union of New Mexico accuses high ranking officials of the

62
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: Albuquerque Police Department of participating in a scheme to extort

63
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: bribes from individuals charged with driving while intoxicated in exchange

64
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: for dropping the charges. The lawsuit centers on Carlos Sandoval Smith,

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: who claims he was one of men victims forced to

66
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: pay bribes to escape prosecution. The complaint alleges that officers

67
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: from the department's DWI unit colluded with a local attorney

68
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: to have cases dismissed by deliberately sabotaging the prosecution process. Specifically,

69
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: officers would reportedly avoid attending pre trial interviews or refuse

70
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: to testify, making it impossible to proceed with charges. The

71
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: fallout has already been significant, when police commander has been fired,

72
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 2: several officers have resigned, and dozens of d WI cases

73
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: tied to the alleged scheme have been dismissed. The scandal

74
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: has also drawn the attention of the FBI, which has

75
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: launched a separate investigation to determine whether any federal laws

76
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: were broken. To date, no federal charges have been filed,

77
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: and the decision now rests with the US Attorney's office.

78
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: This ongoing scandal continues to cast a shadow over the

79
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: Albuquerque Police Department as investigations unfold and the search for

80
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,880
