Melissa, thank you for being 34 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: with us now. Who is the woman sitting in a 35 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: car that observes Angeline, the morning TV anchor, running out 36 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: of the home covered in blood. Who is she? 37 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 4: She was a neighbor in the car with her boyfriend 38 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 4: and she watched everything unfold and she said she was 39 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 4: traumatized by it. Imagine her just sitting there, pulling into 40 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 4: the neighborhood and she sees this woman frantically running towards them, 41 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 4: begging for help, So obviously they stop and she's asking 42 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 4: for a cell phone. The boyfriend hands over her cell 43 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 4: phone and she takes it, runs inside the house. 44 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: And doesn't return. The informant the neighbor refers to Angelaine 45 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Mock as this woman's specifically this woman. A lot of 46 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: people are going to get face to face with a 47 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: turkey this Thursday, because it is Thanksgiving and because so 48 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: many people are going to be basing their turkey. We 49 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: do like to talk about grease and where it should go. 50 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know that all that grease 51 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: everybody on the block is cooking a turkey, and that 52 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: grease can be very problematic. That is from our friends 53 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: at Fox two News, and that is Angelain Mack who 54 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: ran from the home covered in blood, curious to Dan 55 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: Murphy joining US former NYPD detective sergeant on the Joint 56 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: Terrorism Task Force and former chief security officer, co host 57 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: of a hit podcast, gold Shields. Dan Murphy, you know 58 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: this woman, the TV anchor, is drenched in blood. When 59 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: police finally get to the scene, they find something even worse. 60 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: Her eighty year old mother, apparently bedridden, is stabbed dead 61 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: in her own bed. That's the mom on the left. 62 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: The mom is Anita Avers. I think she actually turned 63 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: eighty one just before her stabbing death. So where do 64 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: you even start with a scene like. 65 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 5: That, Dan, So immediately upon response, you're going to want 66 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 5: to give any medical aid you can at this point 67 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 5: if the person is not clearly deceased, and even if 68 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 5: they are, a medical personnel have to come and attend 69 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 5: to them, which is going to disturb the scene a bit, 70 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 5: but it has to be done. Then you're going to 71 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 5: want to preserve all the evidence you can. And I've 72 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 5: been in blood bets and you have to walk gingerly 73 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 5: around them and wear those little booties. But it needs 74 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 5: to be done because later on the evidence is all 75 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 5: going to speak through experts to a jury. So right 76 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 5: now you're preserving. 77 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: Evidence you're deserving. You know a piece of evidence that 78 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: is commonly fumbled through nobody's fault, and that's footprints. When 79 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: you have a bloodbath like the one that happened at 80 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: the time of this Fox News anchor, every blood marking matters. 81 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: It could be spray back. For instance, this is a 82 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: stabbing death the mother an eighty one year old woman 83 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: is stabbed multiple times. Think ted Bundy right and the 84 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: clubbing right. That's called throwback where the victim is hit 85 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: forcefully and then the perpetrator swings back to strike again. 86 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: That blood is cast off right. The cast off, if 87 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: measured correctly, can determine maybe even the height of the defendant, 88 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: may be the position in which they were when the 89 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: attack occurred. You can tell how many times. If you 90 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: can't tell from the body, you can tell from the 91 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: cast off how many times the person was stabbed because 92 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: every time there was a swing back, it hits in 93 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: a slightly different spot on the wall or the ceiling. 94 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: And speaking of ceilings significant explain why ceilings are important 95 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: in a case like this, that they be processed just 96 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: like all the other blood evidence. 97 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 5: Because blood evidence is airborne once it becomes a part 98 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 5: of cast off, and it will leave an impression upon 99 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 5: the ceiling. In most buildings, especially a residential building like this, 100 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 5: that evidence is going to be important because the blood 101 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 5: spatter pattern analysis will be done by crime scene personnel 102 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 5: who understands zerology, and you understand the science of blood 103 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 5: and how it moves and how it forms and what 104 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 5: formations look like when it's cast off of another. So 105 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 5: that preservation of evidence is vital, and you would want 106 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,239 Speaker 5: to take pieces of that ceiling with you as evidence. 107 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: What do you mean take pieces of the ceiling with 108 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: you as evidence. 109 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 5: I've seen ceiling pieces cut out by crime scene units, 110 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 5: pieces of flooring cut out, depending upon the nature of 111 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 5: the crime. Now this week it became a homicide. You're 112 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 5: going to take that evidence seriously and take pictures of it. 113 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 5: But also you may want to take the actual physical 114 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 5: piece itself. If it's a simple piece of wallboard that 115 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 5: you can cut out, you may want to take it. 116 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 5: It's something that may be challenged by defense, you may 117 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 5: want to have it as evidentiary piece of evidence with 118 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 5: you in case it's challenge But those pieces of evidence 119 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 5: are going to tell a story. And in thorough investigations, 120 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 5: I've seen pieces of buildings brought out and taken into custody. 121 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: You know, we got started on this discussion talking about 122 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: floor evidence and how often evidence is lost or ruined 123 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: really through no one's fault when they come onto the scene. 124 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: You know, everybody shees have to be taken and there 125 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: has to be a print made of them to compare 126 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 1: to bloody she prints, if there are any on the floor. 127 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: The only people that should go into that room are 128 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: the ones who are burdened with tying to save a life. 129 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: That's it. And then if they can't save the eighty 130 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: one year old mom's life, they have to very gingerly 131 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: back out and get the hay out of there so 132 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: the work can begin. But when you're trying to save 133 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: somebody's life, that's your paramount concern. You're not worried about 134 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: bloody footprints. Okay, let's go back to what happened. This 135 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: is it, and this is a whole other can of worms. 136 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: Dan Murphy. This happened around seven a m. Seven am, 137 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: which statistically is very rare for a bloodbath, a deadly 138 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: blood bath to go down before breakfast. Okay, listen. 139 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 2: Nine one one is called and relays a message to 140 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: first responders. A woman says there has been a stabbing 141 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: in her home this morning. 142 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 6: At zero seven fifty one hours, officers responded to a 143 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 6: stabbing call in the fifteen hundred block of East Crowley. 144 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 6: When officers arrived on scene, they were met in the 145 00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 6: street with a forty forty eight year old wife feet email, 146 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 6: who had suffered from some cutting cuts to her hand. 147 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: Joining me is a veteran trial lawyer. Jim Elliott attorney 148 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: with Butler Snow Legal counsel for multiple municipalities and governmental 149 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: entities at butlersnow dot com. Jim, thank you for being 150 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: with us. Jim Elliott, You've tried a lot of cases 151 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: in court. Blood evidence is very tricky, especially if you 152 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing. But one thing I would 153 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: be looking at is the degree to which the blood 154 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: had coagulated at the time when amts and first responders 155 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: get there, and it's really difficult, Jim, You've been on 156 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: a lot of scenes. They're trying to save the eighty 157 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: one year old mom's life. They're not thinking has the 158 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: blood coagulated. They're trying to resuscitate her and get her 159 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: airlifted to the hospital, where I would come in as 160 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: the prosecutor, is critical that we know whether the blood 161 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: had dried, not just coagulated. Coagulated means it's kind of 162 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: like jello. It's not thin, liquefied like water anymore. It's 163 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: more of a jello consistency that's coagulated, and the harder 164 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: it gets, the closer it gets to being dried in 165 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,599 Speaker 1: your experience, Jim Elliott, why is it so important that 166 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: we know whether the blood was still liquid as in water, 167 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: semi coagulated as in jell O, or flat out dried. 168 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 7: Well, certainly I go to what time the crime actually 169 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 7: occurred or the stabbing occurred, and probably in that case 170 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 7: you're only going to have the eyewitness testimony of the 171 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 7: first responders who can indicate what they saw, perhaps without 172 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 7: a great deal of exportation in that regard. 173 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they'll be torn to shreds on cross exam. 174 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: We've got to have more than that. We have to 175 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: have the cops in there immediately processing the scene. But 176 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: the reality is, Jim Elliott, it takes a beat for 177 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: the entire CSI to arrive, and you could lose that 178 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: critical evidence. Why is it critical I need to know 179 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: when this eighty one year old mother was stabbed multiple 180 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 1: times in her bed. You know another thing, Elliot, I 181 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: noticed this when prosecuting an inner city Atlanta, when the 182 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: victim is very young, like an infant, or very old. 183 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: For some reason, those cases are very often pled down 184 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: to like manslaughter, some degree you got voluntary, you got 185 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: involuntary I don't know why, but have you noticed that 186 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: phenomena used to burn me up? Like somehow because the 187 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: victim is really young and hadn't lived yet as an 188 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: infant or really old, they don't matter anymore. Did you 189 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: notice that. I'd love to see statistic on that. 190 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 7: Well, that's certainly communication. I guess that's kind of driven 191 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 7: by the value of the life at the time of 192 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 7: the passing. 193 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 8: You know, you kids getting all the Elliot coverage of 194 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 8: the event and pictures seem to. 195 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Be going off commercial break the value of the life. 196 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: You know what. You sound a lot like a civil 197 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: lawyer right now, where you try to get a money 198 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: verdict from a jury and you ask the jury to 199 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: put a dollar value on somebody's life. So what if 200 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: they're old, Jim Elliott, they're just not worth as much, 201 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: Go ahead and put it out there. It's the usual. 202 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 7: It's the usual measure of damages, Nancy. Whether it's morally 203 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 7: right or it's everyone's code of ethics or not, that's 204 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 7: the way our system works with regard to that measurement. 205 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 7: That's what I'm talking about. 206 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: Well, maybe for you, Jim Elliott, and you've won a 207 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: lot of cas with civil juries. And now I see 208 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: why because you actually said that, like it's true. Just 209 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: because it is done, Elliott, does not mean it should 210 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: be done. That doesn't mean it's okay just because it happens. 211 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: A dollar value on a life, that premise right there 212 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: is concerning to me. But that said, Jim Elliott, I 213 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: want you to tell me the truth. Isn't it true 214 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: that when the victim is an infant and you don't 215 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: have a whole lot of cute Christmas pictures and you know, 216 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: baptizing pictures and family pictures at Disney all that, and 217 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: a really old victim. I am telling you it's anecdotal, 218 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: not a statistic, that those plea deals are cheaper than 219 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: they are for just to say, a young, vibrant man 220 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: or woman. Have you noticed that, be honest? 221 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, it can be. I think with regard to the 222 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 7: younger people, you can't really paint a picture of their 223 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 7: life for the jury. That's what prosecutors will probably worry about. 224 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 7: With regard to an older person. Again, there's this there's 225 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 7: going to be this attitude that they live their. 226 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: Life and. 227 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 7: Sadly is it. 228 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: That may be the attitude Elliott, but don't bring it 229 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: to crime stories. Save it for your civil juries. Okay, 230 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to let Elliott sit there and think about 231 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: what he just said and move this case forward. Listen. 232 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 9: Arriving at the home at seven point fifty two am, 233 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 9: Wichita police find a woman outside the home with cuts 234 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 9: in her hands and blood on her clothing.

A forensic psychologist renowned TV radio 251 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: trauma expert consultant at Karenstart dot com. If you're looking 252 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: for her, it's Karen with a C. Karen, I want 253 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: to talk to you about something that shocked. 254 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: Me to the core. 255 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: And you know, Karen, you and I bonded together in very, 256 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: very long hours in the dark at Court TV studios 257 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: where you and I would sit there. I believe there 258 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: were three or four hour shifts we had watching trials 259 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: live and commenting on them whenever there would be a break. 260 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: Even after all that, after all the cases I've tried, 261 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: after all the cases you have worked on, I was 262 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: so shocked with the Brian Coburger attacks in that well, 263 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: many things, but the stabbing to the face of Killy 264 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: Gonsalvess and Maddie. I believe Killy gonsolves she was stabbed 265 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: multiple times, but in her face alone there were over 266 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: twenty stab wounds. Now, I'm just a trial lawyer, you're 267 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: the shrink. But when a victim is stabbed repeatedly in 268 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: the face, there has got to be a psychological motivation there. 269 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but I bet you do. 270 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 8: That's rage, Nancy, and that's very symbolic because he's trying 271 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 8: to wipe out her face. He's angry even though he 272 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 8: had no contact with her. This is a guy who 273 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 8: just couldn't control himself when it came to her. He 274 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 8: was obsessed, and so you are wiping out the person. 275 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 8: In some instances, a killer will put a cover over 276 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 8: somebody's face, a pillow, something to hide them. They just 277 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 8: don't want to see and they want to obliterate that person. 278 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: She was beautiful and that really. 279 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 8: Disturbed him, like, let me get rid of who she 280 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 8: is in all her beauty, because she doesn't want me. 281 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: You know another thing, Karen Stark. You know my mom 282 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: who's going to be ninety four in December and lives 283 00:17:53,640 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: with us. The act of stabbing a little old in 284 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: her bed, either bedridden or asleep, that's a whole another 285 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: level of evil right there. Now. I know, no one's 286 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: life is more valuable than another person's life. I don't 287 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: care if we're talking about a movie star, TV star 288 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: like Matthew Perry or we're talking about this eighty one 289 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: year old ma. But to attack a completely defenseless person, 290 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: that's a whole another can of worms. Psychologically, what is that? 291 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: It's like shooting killing a mockingbird. 292 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 8: That's true, but we don't really know, Nancy, what was 293 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 8: going on inside of that person's head. 294 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,239 Speaker 1: Karen Stark, excuse me one moment. Did I just hear 295 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: you say it matters what's going on inside that person's head, 296 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: the stabber, the killer, I don't care what's going on 297 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: in their head there legally insane, doesn't matter. You know 298 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: how many years it took me to figure that out? 299 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: It was either five or seven because I marked it. 300 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: I would sit in court looking over at the defendant, 301 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: always a violent felon, because everything else will get plat out, 302 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: thinking why why would they do this? Finally I think 303 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: it was year five. I'm like, why am I asking why? 304 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what's going on inside his head? I 305 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: have a case to prove, and I'm going to prove it. 306 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 10: So are you as an eighty one year old bedridden 307 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 10: woman in her bed stabbed multiple times potentially in the face, 308 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 10: and you want me to figure out what's going on 309 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 10: in the killer's mind? 310 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: Did you say that? Now? 311 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 8: I said, we don't know what's going on. But what 312 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 8: I was trying to say, Nancy, is that who, however 313 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 8: this person was, they had tremendous, just like Coberger, rage, 314 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 8: rage to do so many stab wounds, rage to do 315 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 8: somebody's space. If that actually happened, something was going on 316 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 8: with they really did not want to make that person 317 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 8: be recognizable. They were obsessed in this killing. 318 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Graith Sedsrick County District Judge Jeff 319 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: Goring rules Angelaine Mott, the Glam TV reporter. The Glam 320 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: TV anchor was incompetent to stand trial after a psychologists 321 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: report was given to the court. Now, difference incompetency to 322 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: stand trial simply means you are not fit to help 323 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: your defense lawyer with your defense. Insanity means you did 324 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: not know right from wrong at the time of the incident. 325 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: In this case, the stabbing of her own mother. As 326 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: we go to air right now, Mock sent to Larned 327 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: State Hospital for further evaluation and treatment. But if she 328 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: gets rehabilitated with meds, she will be right back in 329 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 1: the courtroom to stand trial for this brutal stabbing death 330 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: of her own mother. Then she can tell the jury 331 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: she was insane at the time she killed her own mother. Okay, 332 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: what do we know what happened inside that home with. 333 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 2: Over a decade of experience as a broadcast journalist, Angie 334 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 2: Mock was known for her hard hitting reports on crime. Ironically, 335 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 2: she now finds herself at the center of a murder. 336 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: Case, joining us Melissa McCarty, reporter and host of The 337 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: Killer Jeans Melissa, both women were transported to the hospital. 338 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: Describe their two injuries because they are diametrically opposed. 339 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 4: Right, as had multiple stab wounds and when she was 340 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 4: transported she ended up dying at the hospital, was pronounced 341 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 4: about thirty minutes later. Now, Angie Mock had some cuts 342 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 4: on her hands, and she was treated. 343 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: As well and release. If I am not mistaken, she 344 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 1: was treated and released as right, very same day, very 345 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: same day. Can I see Melissa McCarty, Please, Melissa McCarty, 346 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: are you telling me that the eighty one year old 347 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: mother was stabbed multiple times in the torso and possibly 348 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: the face and dies and the glamorous TV anchor had 349 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: some cuts on her hands? Is that right? That's right, 350 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: that's right. She was also covered in blood. Covered in blood. 351 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: Now I find it very curious to Dave mac joining 352 00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: us Crime Stories investigative reporter. Very curious, indeed, how did 353 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: the Morning TV news anchor survive the attack with a 354 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: few cuts on her hands, and her mother, bedridden, is 355 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: the target of a maniacal killer and is stabbed dead. 356 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: How does that happen? 357 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 3: You know? And Nancy, that's the question that they're going 358 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 3: to have to answer very quickly, because she was able 359 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 3: to get out of the house and wave down help. 360 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: Remember Angie Mauck actually went out into the street, is 361 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: waving down people for help and get the cell phone 362 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 3: from somebody she doesn't even know, just gets it and 363 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 3: runs back into the house. So she's still got plenty 364 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 3: of energy. She's still able to get up and go 365 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 3: and ask for help. And yet her mother is there 366 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 3: in the bed having been massacred. So don't know what 367 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 3: exactly transpired, except she had plenty of energy to go 368 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: out and get help for herself. 369 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: Dave mac do you know what you just to me 370 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: when you're talking about her mother. I felt like I 371 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: swallowed a lump of coal, like something stuck in my throat. 372 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: I just want to jump up and run to get 373 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: to my mom and check on her. Okay, what you 374 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: just brought up something really interesting that I hadn't thought of. 375 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: Not just that she survived in maniacal killer with a 376 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: few cuts on her hands, but somehow was drenched in blood. 377 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: Isn't that right, Melissa that said, yes, No, she's drenched 378 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: in blood all over the front of her right, correct, Dave. 379 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: Back back to you. So she's drenched in blood from 380 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 1: what the cuts on her hands, But you brought up 381 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: that she's still an excellent condition. No blow to the head, 382 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: no gash, no wound to her the back of her head. 383 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: She is alert, she's not screaming, get the guy, Get 384 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: the guy. Somebody broke in her house. There's which reminds me. 385 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: Was there any sign of forced entry, Dave mac at all? 386 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 3: None whatsoever that we've been told about at this point, Nancy. 387 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 3: And like you said, she's got plenty of time and 388 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 3: energy to go around and go outside the house and 389 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 3: seek help. So she's able to have her thoughts. She's 390 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 3: not freaking out in that she cannot put a thought 391 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 3: together here. She's able to go outside and get help. 392 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 3: And you know, she didn't seem to be other than 393 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 3: the blood on her hands, doesn't seem to be impacted whatsoever. 394 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 4: You know. 395 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: That's also curious. She says she's not freaked out, but 396 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: she did run out of the house to borrow a 397 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: stranger who was a neighbor, but they didn't really know 398 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: each other's phone, grabbed the neighbor's phone, and then ran 399 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: back into the home with it. I wonder why she 400 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: didn't use a phone in the home, or her own 401 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: cell phone. I mean, I'm just trying to think this through, Dave. 402 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: If I found someone injured in our home, I would 403 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: not run out in the street to try to borrow 404 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: somebody's phone that may or may not be out there. 405 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: I would use the home phone if they have one, 406 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: or my cell phone. That's odd, isn't it. Don't you 407 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: find that odds? 408 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 3: I found it odd that she ran outside the house 409 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 3: because her mother is there in the bed, and as mentioned, 410 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 3: she's got multiple stab wounds, but she doesn't have the 411 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 3: wherewithal to get a phone in the house. I mean, 412 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 3: come on, you probably got in that home. You probably 413 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 3: still got a wall on, a phone on the wall, 414 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 3: not to mention several cell phones from the adults that 415 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 3: are there in the home. But instead of any of that, 416 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 3: she goes outside, and all I'm thinking, if we're maybe 417 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 3: she was outside afraid that the killer inside. I don't 418 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,479 Speaker 3: know Nancy, it makes no sense. You wouldn't leave your 419 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 3: mother in. 420 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: Bed outside afraid of the killer still in the house. 421 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: I like that, Dave, He's got a future in fiction. Listen. 422 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: The eighty one year old Anita Avers found unresponsive in 423 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 3: her bed with multiple stab wounds, transported to the hospital, 424 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 3: as is her daughter, Angie Mock, the woman who approached 425 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: police in the street when they arrived. Mack, a former 426 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 3: television news anchor reporter, is treated and released from the hospital. 427 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: Happy Facebook Friday to everyone, and welcome Angimu. Thank you. 428 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to get here. And I look for 429 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: a kuduct meeing with you guys out there in Saint 430 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: Louis from Fox Too. 431 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 2: The former news anchor was living with her eighty year 432 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 2: old mother in their Wichita home. 433 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 3: On Halloween night. 434 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 2: The spotlight shifted dramatically onto Mock as events took a 435 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 2: dark turn. 436 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: A dark turn. Again, that's certainly putting perfume on the pig. 437 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: A dark turn. It sounds like a mystery novel. This 438 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: is no mystery novel, and it's not a dark turn. 439 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: It's murder, and it's the murder of a defenseless eighty 440 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: one year old woman apparently bed ridden. You know, I 441 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: just heard something to Melissa McCarty. Is it true that 442 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: the glam Morning TV anchor was living with her mother? 443 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: What in her mother's home? Whose home was that? That's 444 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: what it seems. 445 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 4: So police have not gone on the record to confirm it, 446 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 4: but it seems as though they were living together. 447 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: Hmm, guys, what happened in that bedroom? How did angelin 448 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: mock end up unscathed? She was treated? What? Jim Elliott? 449 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: They spread a little back teen Orner went goodbye, goodbye? 450 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 10: What? 451 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: And the mother's dead? Stab multiple times? You don't you 452 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that, because I do. 453 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 7: Well, So I think you know, the difference is an 454 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 7: eighty or eighty when you're a woman versus someone twenty 455 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 7: or thirty years younger. The younger person could arguably be 456 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 7: more able to defend herself than with her mother. 457 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: Okay, so you're saying she could defend herself. Okay, I 458 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: see where you're going with that. Doctor pre Banerjy is 459 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: with US doctor Priya Board certified forensic pathologists and anatomic 460 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: pathologist with Anchor Forensic Pathology Consulting. Let's just say she's 461 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: seen a lot of dead bodies, Doctor Priya, What is 462 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: the difference between a defensive stab wound and a stab wound? 463 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: You would get to your hands when you are the attacker, 464 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: for instance, your hand sliding down the knife, unless you're 465 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: like Brian Coberger who had a k bar knife which 466 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: has a hilt. What is a hilt? It looks like 467 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: a cross. There is a section that turns the blade, 468 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: it bisects it and if you're the staber, your hand 469 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: would stop at the hilt. Okay, So if there is 470 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: a knife that does not have a hilt, how can 471 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: you tell the difference between a wound sustained to the 472 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: hand if you are the stabber versus a defensive wound. Well, 473 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: I think that could be challenging. You need to look 474 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: at where it is. If you're putting your hands up 475 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: this way on the back, that is obviously defensive. You're 476 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: not going to in any way have the knife ub 477 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: use the back of your hand to stab someone now, 478 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: but on the palms and it's really deep. Maybe you 479 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: did have a grabbing motion where the knife slipped. Remember, 480 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: repeated stabs make the knife bloody, which makes it slippery. Earlier, 481 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: you heard a veteran trial lawyer Jim Elliott describe why 482 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: the morning TV news star could have escaped a deranged 483 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: killer unscathed because she's twenty to thirty years younger than 484 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: her eighty one year old mother. Typically, the state does 485 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 1: not have to prove motive. But I'd be very curious 486 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: to find out who would want to kill an eighty 487 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: one year old little old lady asleep in bed. The 488 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: degree of physical acumen, the lack of aging symptoms, being 489 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: very very physically active. Yes, I could see that as 490 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: it is. Cause let's take a look at Angeline Mock. 491 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: We Ferl's biggest fan Anngie Mock. 492 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 3: Hey, big fan? 493 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: Right?

I assume you read them the 550 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: story of Rumpel Steelskin. Yes, of course, yes, okay, so 551 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 1: you know where I'm going with this. Rumpel Stilskin took 552 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: Hay and he just spun it out into gold. And 553 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: that's what you're doing right now, now do you, Jim Elliott? 554 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: And again, you're a veteran trial war law. Your record 555 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: shows you want a lot of cases. You represent multiple 556 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: state and local municipalities. You're actually somehow coming up with 557 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: the theory that this anchor can I see her, please, 558 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 1: that the TV anchor who can add lib, who can rescript, 559 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: who can do all sorts stuff on air, antics that 560 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: she endured a lifetime of either physical, mental, or emotional abuse. 561 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: Did you just throw that out as a possibility, Jim Elliott. 562 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 7: It's a possibility, certainly. 563 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: And we don't know exactly. 564 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 7: I mean, all she said was to save myself. 565 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 10: We don't know what that means. 566 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 7: We don't know where that means physically, whether there were 567 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 7: other issues that play in their relationship or in her 568 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 7: life or our mother's life, and I think that has 569 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 7: to be fully explored before we can understand. 570 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: But she's gonna have to explain my stars. I need 571 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: a shrink crime stories with Nancy Grace insane or explosively intoxicated? Now. 572 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: I asked that question because, according to a probable cause affidavit, 573 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: Mock's stepfather, Barry, told police Mock had been laid off 574 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: from her TV anchor job and after quote an explosive 575 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: situation involving alcohol. Hmmm. He also told police Mott was 576 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Now that's later, according to sources, 577 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: being advised to get so effective disorder. And as we 578 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: have learned from the Nick Reiner case, voluntary use of 579 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: drugs or alcohol is not a defense, and if it 580 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: exacerbates makes worse a mental condition such as schizophrenia or bipolar. 581 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if a jury will excuse the behavior 582 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: of the defendant if their own drinking or drugs made 583 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: matters worse and then they committed a crime. That's a 584 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: fun thing for the jury to figure out. But first, 585 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: let's review the facts as we know them. Karen, start, 586 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: how many times do your clients blame mommy? You know 587 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:47,320 Speaker 1: I've started a fund for my daughter and son for 588 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: a shrink someday, because I'm sure they're gonna blame everything 589 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: on me. Yes, mommy told me I was fill in 590 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: the blank. My mommy made me fill in that blank. 591 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: It's all mommy's fault. Did you hear Elliott? The woman 592 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: is bedridden. She's eighty one years old. I don't know 593 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: care what she told you when you were five years 594 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 1: old to stand up straight and at your vegetables. What 595 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: did you hear that? Because that's where this is going. 596 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 8: It doesn't make any sense it really, if you think 597 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 8: about it. 598 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 1: Yes, mothers, fathers, they. 599 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 8: Really affect their children growing up. 600 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:22,760 Speaker 1: And that's a fact. 601 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 8: Whatever is going on this we're talking now about an 602 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 8: adult and a mother who. 603 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: Is eighty eighty one. 604 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 8: There was no reason for that to still be held 605 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 8: over and something that's in her psyche. At this point, 606 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 8: she's gone on with her life and she should be 607 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 8: doing really well and not be blaming anybody, Karen, because she's. 608 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,479 Speaker 1: Independent, Karen, you keep talking about it in her mind. 609 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: We don't even know if there is anything that the 610 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 1: now dead mom did the eighty one year old. For 611 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: all I know, she was an incredible mom. We're just 612 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: you are actually buy into Jim Elliott's theory that maybe 613 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: maybe this woman was emotionally abused by her mom for 614 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: years and years and years, so she just had a 615 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: stabber dead. Well, that's the whole point. 616 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,879 Speaker 8: It doesn't matter what their relationship was like. It really 617 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 8: does announcing because at this stage in her life she's 618 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 8: a functioning we assume adult, and she should not be 619 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,399 Speaker 8: caring any kind of feelings about her mother. 620 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: That's interfering. 621 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 8: What would make her Who would do that stab their 622 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 8: own mother? 623 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 1: That hardly ever happens. 624 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 2: Police responded to a reported stabbing at Mock's residence. Angeline 625 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 2: was found outside, claiming she acted in self defense after 626 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 2: stabbing her mother. Inside, officers discover her mother in bed 627 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,320 Speaker 2: suffering from multiple stablerers. 628 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: Okay, this is a tactic that will likely be used 629 00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: by the state if this case goes forward. All of 630 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 1: the clips that we're showing you, every word Angie Mock 631 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: has uttered on air will be combed through and used 632 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: if possible, in court to show that she was in 633 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: her right mind.

To everybody, 665 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Dan, go ahead looks as the life. 666 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 5: Has helped her a very bad set of hand, bad hand, 667 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 5: so to speak, set of cards. She does not look 668 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 5: like the same person. Something is on a down slide, 669 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,479 Speaker 5: and maybe she blames the mother for things in her life, 670 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 5: sees the mother as holding her back in many reasons. 671 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 5: I would love to know the story, the true dynamic 672 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 5: in the relationship, why she's living there, what caused this? 673 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 5: In any other domestic calls there? What would lead her 674 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 5: to this? Maybe it's narcissism, Maybe she. 675 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: Her fake I'm sorry, but are you? 676 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 3: Are you. 677 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: A mental health professional? Because I thought you were former NYPD? 678 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,760 Speaker 1: To take a sergeant, I am, which. 679 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 5: Is equivalent to a master's in psychology in many ways. 680 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: Dan, Okay, you and I both know that motive is 681 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,399 Speaker 1: not required. I don't care. 682 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 10: I mean, my. 683 00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 1: Non prosecutor side does care. But I'm talking about the 684 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: facts that we're going to put in front of a jury. 685 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: I am asking you. You're the former NYPD, and I 686 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 1: keep saying that because you have more cases than practically 687 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: any other jurisdiction in the country that you have handled. 688 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: Personally analyze the facts. We'll deal with her mental defect 689 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: defense that she's really paining herself in a corner with 690 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: because she came out with self defense, so she stuck 691 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: with it. That's not going away. She admitted she did 692 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,800 Speaker 1: it in self defense. Of course I don't believe that, 693 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: and I want to hear what you think about the facts, 694 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: not your amateur opinion, as mine would be too. I'm 695 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 1: not a shrink about why she did it. Why does 696 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: somebody stab a bed ridden eighty one year old woman? 697 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: Don't care the bear facts. Scene cops get to the scene. 698 00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 5: She lives in the home with the mother, and she 699 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 5: is covered in blood, which is indicative of somebody who 700 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 5: has either embraced a dead body covered in blood or 701 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,800 Speaker 5: somebody who himself was responsible for it. And the blood 702 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 5: comes out arterial spurts and things like that. Second, she's 703 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 5: got defensive wounds potentially or potentially from a handslideing down 704 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 5: a knife that's being in a frenzied attack, being used 705 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 5: to attack somebody. She makes a statement indicating she did it. 706 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,280 Speaker 5: There's no evidence of entry by anyone else into the residence. 707 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,879 Speaker 5: She's the only person responsible. She's taking responsibility. The mother 708 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 5: is bedridden and possible couldn't possibly have posed a threat 709 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 5: with a knife to her daughter Fairfax, No other suspect. 710 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: Here's a look at our top stories. Several victims survived 711 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: a hail of bullets and two separate shootings, but those 712 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: shootings were at the exact same location. 713 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,919 Speaker 3: A glamorous TV news anchor, mox stands charged with first 714 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 3: degree murder for the fatal stabbing of her eighty one 715 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,280 Speaker 3: year old mother, Anita Avers. 716 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: From Fox Too. What more are we learning tonight? A 717 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 1: glam TV anchor deemed insane or incompetent after stabbing her 718 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,479 Speaker 1: mother dead. We've also learned that during a card game 719 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: about a week before the murder, Mock accused her family 720 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: of hating her and stated that she hated them. Now, 721 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: how does that play into now claiming insanity, insane, incompetent, 722 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: drunk on drugs, condition exacerbated. We don't know yet, But 723 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 1: what I do know is that eighty one year old 724 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: mom was stabbed multiple times in her own bed. We 725 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: wait as justice unfolds. Nancy Grace signing off goodbye friend,
