>> PAUL
>> PAUL >> VENEMA JOINS US NOW TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS CASE AND A KEY
EVIDENCE OF THIS A WHOLE TRIAL
WAS A MEMORY STICK SO FIRST
OF ALL HOW POLICE GET WELL, YOU
KNOW THAT THE THEY GOT A QUITE
IT PROVED TO BE VALUABLE AS FAR
AS THE PROSECUTION WAS
CONCERNED IT WAS FOUND AND HE
WAS A STUDENT AT LEE HIGH
SCHOOL WAS FOUND ON THE CAMPUS
THERE LEE HIGH SCHOOL BY
CONSTRUCTION WORKER WHO TO
REALLY TURN IT OVER TO
ADMINISTRATION THERE THEY
FOR PEOPLE ARE COP IN THE CASE PAUL AND THEN
THE VALUE OF ALL THE THINGS THAT RON THIS FLASH DRIVE.
WELL NUMBER ONE THAT THIS
HEARING IT’S WHAT THIS AMOUNTS
TO IS THE PUNISHMENT PHASE OF A
TRIAL WHERE THERE ARE A JURY
HERE, BUT THE JUDGE IS
>> THIS HEARING IS TO GIVE THE
JUDGE SOME INSIGHT INTO THE
CASE. SO THAT HE COULD MAKE A
DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO
ACCEPT A PLEA DEAL HAVING SAID
THAT WHAT WAS ON THEIR
SOMETHING IS GOING TO BE
VALUABLE TO THE STATE THEY
THINK IN TERMS OF HIM TO HELP
MAKE THAT DECISION WHAT WAS ON
THERE WAS VIDEO OF CAYLEE
GAN. SHOOTING SEVERAL
DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEAPONS,
LAUGHING AND JOKING AND
CARRYING ON ACTUALLY DOING
DRUGS APPARENTLY DOING DRUGS
THAT WAS US SNIFFING WHAT
APPEARED TO BE COCAINE.
AND JUST LAUGHING AND TAKING
EVERYTHING VERY VERY LIGHTLY
ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT
THAT ONE OF THE CLIPS OF MAY
HE SHOT VIDEO OF A CASE
THAT NEWSCAST IN RAIN MEANT FOR
JUVENILE APPARENTLY LOT OF
THESE KIDS ARE SOMETHING WE SAW
SO HE’S ALSO A LESSON THERE ON
THE AND THAT THEY WOULD JUST AN
ODD ASSORTMENT OF THINGS ALL TO
SUGGEST HE WAS NOT A GOOD GUY.
>> BUT IT WAS NOT THERE WAS NO
VIDEO OF THE CASE HE’S ACTUALLY
KNOW HIM TO KNOW I DON’T KNOW
IT WAS IT WAS BUT IT WAS
IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT
HE ACCEPTS A SENTENCE THE JUDGE
IT WANTS IDEA WHO THIS KID IS
SO THIS GAVE THE JUDGE SOMEONE
OF IDEA OF WHAT HE
WAS CHARACTER.
>> SO 40 YEAR SENTENCE VERSUS
LIFE HAS THAT HAPPENED WELL.
IT SAYS YOU KIND OF THE OLD TO
DARRELL ROYAL DANCE WITH TO
BRING YOU THE STATE
WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT AS I
UNDERSTAND IT 40 YEARS
RATHER THAN TAKE THE CASE TO
TRIAL SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WERE
NOT COMFORTABLE. I’M GUESSING
WITH THE WITH THE WITNESSES
THERE WAS THEY’RE IN MY OPINION
AND THERE IS I BELIEVE IS WELL
THERE WAS SOME CREDIBILITY
QUESTIONS AS FAR AS WITNESSES,
PARTICULARLY THIS YOUNG
LADY THAT WE SAW
TESTIFYING THERE O SO THE STATE
OPTED TO TO A GO AHEAD AND
ACCEPT THE EXCEPT A CAP OF 40
YEARS VERSUS TAKING THE CASE TO
TRIAL AND
RUNNING A RISK OF GETTING
SOMETHING OR OR NOT TO GET A
CONVICTION SO YOU MENTIONED YOU
SAID IT’S A PLEA DEAL AND
THEY’RE HOPING FOR 40 YEARS AND
RIGHT NOW THE JUDGE IS LEARNING
ABOUT THIS THE CHARACTER OF
UNDECIDED WHO LOOKS.
>> LET THIS GO FORWARD WHAT ARE
HIS OPTIONS COULD HE SAY NO
HE NEEDS MORE AND NOW YOU HAVE
TO WHAT CAN HAPPEN EXACTLY OF
THE
THE JUDGE. IT’S A PLEA DEAL
WITH THE CAPITAL CALL A CAP OF
42 WE CANNOT GO ANY HIGHER
ACCORDING TO THIS DEAL THAT
THEY MADE HE CANNOT GO
ANY HIGHER AND THE DEFENSE
OBVIOUSLY IS GOING TO ARGUE SAY
THIS THIS
PERHAPS WAS AN ACCIDENT OR HE
DIDN’T MEAN TO KILL THIS LITTLE
GIRL JUST A SCARE THESE PEOPLE
WHAT ARE THE ARGUMENTS GOING TO
BE.
THE JUDGE WILL TAKE THOSE
THINGS AND AGAIN THE ARGUMENTS
INTO CONSIDERATION AND AT THAT
TIME MAKE HIS DECISION EITHER
TO STAY AT THE CAP OR GO
LOWER BUT YOU CAN ALSO JUST BUS
TO DEAL COMPLETELY TO THE AFTER
HEARING WHAT EVIDENCE THERE IS
HE CAN SAY LOOK YOU KNOW THAT
THIS THIS IS NOT GOING TO FLY
THIS 40 YEARS IS NOT ENOUGH IN
MY OPINION GIVEN WHAT I KNOW
NOW ABOUT THE CASE.
SO I’M A BUS THE PLEA DEAL AND
WE’RE GOING TAKE THE CASE TO
TRIAL AND HE COULD FORCE THEM
TO GO TO TRIAL IT WOW HOW LONG
IT’S LIKE THIS TO LAST.
WELL THE HEARING IS GOING TO
WRAP UP ON FRIDAY. AND
THE REASON IT’S A PRETTY
LONG LIKE LENGTHY HEARING THE
STATE PRESENT PLANS TO CALL BY
THE TIME IT’S OVER 22 WITNESSES
THE DEFENSE IS GOING TO CALL A
COUPLE OF WITNESSES WEATHER.
THEY CALLED AGAIN WE DON’T KNOW
YET. BUT IT’S GOING TO CONTINUE
ON FRIDAY AGAIN IS JUST
TAKING IT. A BREAK TODAY AND
FRIDAY SIMPLY BECAUSE THE JUDGE
HAS SOME OTHER MATTERS TO
ATTEND TO SO IT’S
IT’S A 2 DAY HEARING. BUT IT’S
A SPLIT UP
