>> THEY’RE TO SAN ANTONIO’S MOST GUT WRENCHING HIGH-PROFILE CRIMES. YES, QUEUE SHUN STYLE
KILLING OF A SAN ANTONIO POLICE
DETECTIVE AND A NURSE ACCUSED
OF KILLING DOZENS OF BABIES IN
HER CARE.
>> TOMORROW EVENING CASE IT IS
AIRING AN HOUR-LONG SPECIAL
EXAMINING BOTH WERE CALLING IT
OPEN COURT THOSE MCCAIN AND
JEANINE JONES CASE IS JOINING
US NOW KSAT PRODUCERS ALYSSA
MEDINA AND LEXI SALAZAR THEY
ARE PART OF OUR STREAM TEAM.
SO YOU BOTH WERE BEHIND THE
MAKING OF THIS SPECIAL.
>> WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE
TOMORROW NIGHT.
>> YES, SO LIKE YOU GUYS
MENTIONED IT’S AN HOUR LONG
SPECIAL. IT’S GOING TO FEATURE
2 VERY HIGH-PROFILE CASES
BUT THE 1ST HALF HOUR IS GOING
TO FOCUS ON THE BACK STORY OF
OTIS MCKANE HE IS ACCUSED OF
KILLING SAN ANTONIO POLICE
DETECTIVE BENJAMIN MARCONI BACK
IN 2016.
SO IT’S BEEN QUITE SOME TIME
SINCE THIS HAPPENED. SO WE’LL
BE TAKING A LOOK BACK AT THIS
CASE THROUGH SOME OF OUR OWN
KSAT COVERAGE. SHE’S SPECIAL
HAS SOME NEVER BEFORE SEEN
FOOTAGE FROM THE COURTROOM
DURING SOME OF MCCAIN’S BOND
HEARINGS AND
WHAT NOT AS WELL AS AN EXTENDED
JAILHOUSE INTERVIEW WHERE HE
ACTUALLY SAT DOWN WITH OUR
KATRINA WEBBER. SO
AHEAD OF NEXT WEEK’S TRIAL.
IT KIND OF GIVES US A LOOK AT
WELL MCCAIN IS AND WHAT LED UP
TO THIS CRIME THAT HE’S
ULTIMATELY ACCUSED OF BECAUSE
WE’RE GOING TO BE HEARING HIS
NAME. A LOT THROUGH THE NEXT
FEW WEEKS.
AND WE’RE ALSO BE HEARING ABOUT
A DECADE’S OLD CASE OF
CONVICTED KILLER NURSE GENENE
JONES THAT’S RIGHT STEPHANIE,
I’M BACK IN 2019 WE STARTED
PUTTING THIS TOGETHER EVERYONE
IS FAMILIAR WITH THE CASE OF
GENENE JONES EVERYONE WHO LIVES
IN SAN ANTONIO.
>> HAS HEARD
HER NAME, SHE’S A CONVICTED
KILLER BUT UP UNTIL EVEN THOUGH
SHE WAS SUSPECTED OF KILLING
DOZENS OF BABY SHOULD ONLY
CONVICT BEEN CONVICTED IN THE
DEATH OF ONE BABY AND SO BACK
IN
2019. SHE WAS PREPARING TO GO
BACK ON TRIAL SHE’D BEEN
INDICTED IN THE DEATHS OF 5
MORE BABIES OF COURSE AS WE NOW
KNOW SHE ENDED UP PLEADING
GUILTY TO THE DEATH
OF ONE. BUT REALLY WE JUST WANT
TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CASE
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW HER
NAME WE KNOW HOW HORRIFIC IT
WAS WE THOUGHT THAT THERE ARE A
LOT OF INTERESTING DETAILS IN IT THAT MAYBE PEOPLE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT AND HADN’T REALLY
BEEN BROUGHT TO LIGHT. THIS
CASE OBVIOUSLY AS HORRIFIC
INVOLVES THE DEATH OF YOU KNOW
THE MOST INNOCENT PEOPLE IN OUR
SOCIETY BABIES.
BUT IT ALSO REFLECTS A LOT OF
SYSTEMIC ON THE PART OF
THE COUNTY HOSPITAL THAT
EMPLOYED JONES AND THERE’S AN
ALLEGED COVER-UP SO THERE WAS
JUST A LOT TO UNPACK WITH THIS
CASE AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS A
DECADE OLD CASE I THINK IT’S
SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE STILL
REMEMBER BECAUSE IT TUGS AT
YOUR HEARTSTRINGS TO HEAR
THESE FAMILIES TALK ABOUT THE
CHILDREN THAT THEY LOST OF
COURSE THE JONES CASE WRAPPED
UP AT THE
OTIS MCKANE.
>> CASE IS STILL ON FOLDING
WHAT TO EXPECT TO SEE THERE.
>> SO LIKE LEXI MENTIONED BOTH
OF THESE PIECES HAVE BEEN
STREAMING ON OUR KSAT TV APP
BUT WE WANTED TO AIR THE OTIS
MCKANE BACK STORY
AHEAD OF NEXT WEEK’S TRIAL
BECAUSE THIS IS ULTIMATELY
GOING TO BE A BIG CASE. WE
KIND OF WANTED TO REFRESH OUR
VIEWERS MEMORY AND
GET SOME MORE INSIGHT INTO THIS
CASE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID IT’S
GOING TO BE A BIG TRIAL.
IT WAS POSTPONED OF COURSE DUE
TO THE PANDEMIC
BUT IT FINALLY STARTS MONDAY
AND WE EXPECT THIS TO LAST
ABOUT 2 WEEKS TO GET A VERDICT
MAYBE EVEN LONGER BECAUSE THIS
IS A DEATH PENALTY CASE.
AND IT’S THE FIRST DEATH
PENALTY CASE AT THE BEXAR
COUNTY COURTHOUSE IS ACTUALLY
DEALT WITH IN
6 YEARS. SO ERICA HERNANDEZ IS
GOING TO BE COVERING
IT EXTENSIVELY SHE’LL BE
STANDING BY IN THE COURTROOM
WITH ON ON AIR OF COURSE ONLINE
AND STREAMING ON.
>> KSAT DOT COM.
>> AND WE UNDERSTAND A RECENTLY
RETIRED KSAT 12 REPORTER WILL
BE MAKING
AN APPEARANCE. YES, ANYONE WHO
MISSES PAUL VENEMA I KNOW WE
ALL DO EVEN THOUGH HE HASN’T
BEEN GONE FOR LONG ON THEY’RE
GOING TO SEE HIM DURING THIS
HOUR LONG SPECIAL TOMORROW
NIGHT. THE THROUGH BOTH OF
THESE CASES REALLY AS
PAUL VENEMA AND SO YOU KNOW
OBVIOUSLY THE JANINE COPE JUNK
CASE LASTED DECADES, THE
COVERED THE SPAN OF 4 DECADES
AND HE WAS THERE
FROM BEGINNING TO END YOU KNOW
THIS OTIS MCKANE TRIAL IS GOING
TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
HE STARTED OUT THE COVERAGE,
BUT HE’S PASSING THE TORCH AIR
TO ERICA HERNANDEZ ON A COURTS
