35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: twenty two, twenty two, when a string of seemingly random

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,280

00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,520

Speaker 4: Smith faced first degree murder charges, which could have resulted

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,120

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 4: to second degree murder, attempted murder, and related charges. His attorney,

47
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: Maria Manario, says the attacks occurred during a severe episode

48
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: of paranoid schizophrenia, leaving Smith convinced the victims posed a

49
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: threat to him. Manario described the situation as quote very

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: sad and tragic all around, adding that her client is

51
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,720

54
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: New Year's Day left fourteen dead in the French Quarter,

55
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: and city leaders are under intense scrutiny. As crime online

56
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: Sydney Sumner tells US, questions are mounting about lapses in

57
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 4: security and the city's response.

58
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: The fallout from the New Year's Day terror attack in

59
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: New Orleans intensified this week during a tense city council meeting.

60
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick has stated that she will not resign,

61
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: and has revealed that she had enlisted former New York

62
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: Police Commissioner William Bratton as a consultant to address the

63
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: city's glaring security failures. Kirkpatrick's declaration comes as the council

64
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: prepares to investigate the city street barrier systems. The attack

65
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: unfolded when an Islamic State inspired as Seilant drove a

66
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: truck onto Bourbon Street by passing a police lockade. The

67
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: barriers meant to prich the area had been removed for replacement,

68
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: but reports suggests the new ones are insufficient to stop

69
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: high speed vehicles. Mayor LaToya Cantrell admitted she could not

70
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: confirm whether the new system would have prevented the tragedy. Meanwhile,

00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: State Attorney General Liz Murle has launched a review of

72
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: the city's New Year security measures, including those for the

73
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: Sugar Bowl. Adding to the pressure, a coalition of law

74
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: firms announced they are representing nearly two dozen victims the

75
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: accused officials of failing to act on known risks, stating

76
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: the public was left vulnerable.

77
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 4: One of the firms, Romanucci and Blanden, previously secured a

78
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,480

84
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,080

86
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: refuse to assist Tiera, who eventually returns home confused. Four

87
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,640
