"I know, I don’t think people get the severity of that." ([01:49])

"That’s a war zone." ([03:06])

He attributes the increase in crime to rising temperatures, especially in southern regions like Louisiana, stating:

The hosts condemn the act, with Woody particularly angered by the disregard for the sanctity of military graves:

"Shame on you, Sticks. That just pisses me off. I hate a thief." ([08:54])

"Somebody else is gonna know." ([09:11])

"Ford assumed that Lopez was responsible for what Ford and his wife believed to be a break-in." ([22:32])

Woody critiques the lack of understanding and communication that led to the tragic outcome:

"His landlord sent the text. He responded to the text." ([22:34])

Cindy emphasizes the senselessness of the act, especially towards a hardworking individual supporting his family:

"He was a caring, attentive, respectful and loving husband, father and friend." ([21:09])

Both hosts express their outrage and sadness over the incident, questioning the decision-making that led to such violence.

5. Anti-Semitic Shooting at a Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.

Timestamp: [27:08] – [34:35]

Woody shifts focus to a harrowing event at a Jewish museum in Washington D.C., where Elias Rodriguez, 31, opened fire on two Israeli embassy aides:

"Elias Rodriguez... has been charged with federal and local murder offenses... in connection with the fatal shooting." ([30:00])

A news clip details the incident, highlighting the anti-Semitic motive behind the attack:

"Rodriguez was seen pacing outside the museum before shooting Sarah Milgram and Yaron Linsky." ([30:27])

"On May 23, a Paris court found eight individuals guilty in connection with the heist." ([39:17])

Despite the gravity of the crime, none of the defendants will face additional prison time due to time already served and their advanced ages:

"None will face additional prison time because... of the prior time served." ([39:54])

Woody humorously critiques the leniency of the French judicial system:

"Paris, this finally did some right now you went and it all up again." ([39:59])

Cindy elaborates on the ordeal Kardashian endured, including her fear of rape and the emotional trauma it caused:

"She repeatedly pleaded with the assailant... 'I have babies and I need to get home to my babies.'" ([40:29])

The hosts express frustration over the insufficient sentencing, questioning the judge's authority to alter the decision:

"I don’t know French law, but can’t the judge... change sentencing or fine?" ([43:06])

Timestamp: [33:35] – [38:59]

Throughout the episode, Woody and Cindy engage in reflective discussions on broader societal issues such as racism, violence, and justice. They underscore the importance of mutual respect and the devastating consequences when these values are absent.

Woody shares a hopeful vision for unity:

"How about we all just be one people?" ([34:02])

[Woody Overton]

Foreign hello everybody and welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Monday, May 26, 2025. And I'm Woody Overton.

[Cindy Overton]

I'm Cindy Overton.

[Woody Overton]

And Happy Memorial Day.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

Right. What a great hol to pay tribute and honor to all those who died for us. It's not Veterans Day. I'm a veteran. But you know, moral day is for the ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can have the freedom to sit here and podcast True and everything else that we do.

[Cindy Overton]

Everything. I know, I don't think people get the severity of that.

[Woody Overton]

I mean it had we not had soldiers, let's say World War II, would be speaking German or Japanese and the, you know, and then just all the wars, all the battles, even the soldiers who lost their lives just doing their regular duty if it wasn't wartime.

[Cindy Overton]

Right.

[Woody Overton]

You know, that was. So we pay tribute and honor to them. It's no greater sacrifice than dying for your country. And so y' all remember that when you're at the beach and barbecuing and traveling this weekend doing whatever it is that you're doing, remember that today is because of all the ones who gave their lives for this country in service of this country.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

So big, big shout outs with that. How are you doing this morning?

[Cindy Overton]

I'm good. How are you?

[Woody Overton]

I'm doing well, thank you. Thank you for asking with that, you know, Memorial Day last couple of years, I always give statistics on the crime and everything in like, oh God, the last couple times we're in Chicago was right around this time.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

In I think one weekend. And they had 27 shootings that the last time we were there was in the 30s. And we'll give you the updates on the numbers tomorrow. Well, this week I'm going to give it a couple of days for it to come in. Last year there was every major city in the country. And I think last year in Chicago, it was like 49 shot in total. That, that's a war zone. And it's the start of summer starting to get hot or at least warmer in most places. Is definitely hot in south Louisiana. And crime goes up when the heat goes up. And that is a fact. But you know, shootings and stuff from Memorial Day, I get it. That's just part of life, right?

[Cindy Overton]

I mean, it shouldn't be.

[Woody Overton]

Well, people are going to kill each other and that's just what they do. But let me tell you about a special kind of Memorial Day. I'm gonna call this the Memorial Day segment. And so in Pennsylvania, the. Okay, let's talk about this. My dad, we just buried him, right? And they came out and gave him the full honor guard, the soldiers did and folded his casket and plates haps for him. Very, very moving. They did the same thing at your dad's service and pop up service and the, the. So when you're a veteran, like my father was, not only, you know, you got to buy your regular headstone, but they give you the one that goes at the end. So you rank and you service whatever goes in the ground. Well, there's a lot of things that people do for their veterans that, you know, that died well served and died. Not, not all of them died in battle, naturally. But in Pennsylvania, the boom in a lot of. I mean, you could actually be buried in a military cemetery, right? And they all have the same white stone and all that lot. And, and you know, it's just a very special place. And most people don't know that we have so many deceased soldiers that were killed in, in other countries that are buried in other countries. And, and we have cemeteries there us ground like in Normandy and different places like that. But in Pennsylvania. Oh, the, the other thing about Memorial Day, I love it when like at Arlington they put a flag on every grave and in thousands and, and stuff like that. Well, they do that and most of them at the military cemeteries. But in Pennsylvania, they're getting ready to do what they do on Memorial Day weekend in Lancaster, Lancaster county at the military garden of Laurel Hill Cemetery. Well, Memorial Day pretty much ruined it. The. And that guess what they did. They stole over 100 bronze vases from veterans Grave sites. I mean, I get it. Bronze is worth some money now. All the medals are going up. But, you know, if you. I think we've had cases where people grave digging and stuff like that, but this is just a whole different kind of different.

[Cindy Overton]

Like the guy that stole the cannon, you know?

[Woody Overton]

Yeah.

[Cindy Overton]

You know, that's not defa. I mean, that. This is.

[Woody Overton]

This is.

[Cindy Overton]

I mean, so is stealing the cannon, but, my goodness.

[Woody Overton]

The Columbia police said the theft took place sometime between May 18 and May 23 at the military garden of Laurel Hill Cemetery. You know what? Instead of me telling you about it, why don't I just let me play the actual news clip from it? Okay.

[Cindy Overton]

Sure.

[Lori]

Has been Lori. Tonight, police are investigating after over a hundred bronze vases were stolen from some of these veteran grave sites here. Now, imagine people are already devastated when something is stolen from them, but when you think about it, it's something so personal and especially so close to Memorial Day. Well, that hits close to home.

[Michael Fuller]

Just gonna be one of the most significant thefts that the cemetery has experienced. So we're taking that very seriously.

[Lori]

Tonight, the search is on for the suspect who robbed deceased veterans and their loved ones of a meaningful memento.

[Michael Fuller]

That's just not something that makes sense, really, to anyone.

[Lori]

After over a hundred bronze vases from veterans graves were stolen. And the military garden of the Laurel.

[Michael Fuller]

Hill Cemetery, unfortunately, it seems to be more of a common thing than it should be. But especially, you know, Memorial Day weekend and for veterans graves specifically to be the ones that were desecrated and disrespected, that's. We're taking that extra close to home.

[Lori]

Police say the theft happened between Sunday and today. And although they don't have a suspect, they want the public and anyone who would commit this type of crime to hear this message.

[Michael Fuller]

Just stop and take a second. And this is really just about respecting other people. So we all have differences and. And sometimes we don't get along. But at the end of the day, you know, a veterans memorial, that. That shouldn't be something that we ever take lightly.

[Lori]

It's a good message. And police say that if you know someone or have any information that could help with this investigation to please reach out to the Columbia Borough Police Department or your local law enforcement. Reporting live here in Columbia, Michael Fuller.

[Woody Overton]

WGAL News, Inc. Special? Special kind of.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes.

[Woody Overton]

And I hope they catch them. Y' all go get them, Lancaster. And. And shame on you, Sticks. That's. That just pisses me off. I hate a thief.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, you always say the streets talk. I don't think that caught that. I don't think that whatever what the woman did, you know, speaking out to them and trying to appeal to their, you know, their feel or whatever, respect. But somebody else is gonna know.

[Woody Overton]

Well, what's gonna happen is, I mean you don't steal bronze. You gotta have somewhere to sell it to you. And they'll probably, you know, the text will be checking the scrap yards. They're probably not that dumb. Maybe they'll take them out of state. I don't know what they're gonna do with them. Melt them down, try to get some money for their meth or crack or whatever the, the drug of choice is. But it doesn't matter. They're you, you, you.

[Cindy Overton]

That's true.

[Woody Overton]

I hope y' all enjoying the beach and a hot dog or something like that.

[Cindy Overton]

A hot dog.

[Woody Overton]

I like a good hot dog.

[Cindy Overton]

I do too. But not a beach dog.

[Woody Overton]

I never had a hot dog on a beach in my life. I wasn't talking about that. I was just saying barbecuing and Memorial Day and that all goes together and beaches and like that. I've never barbecued on the beach too much. Santa, you just got your dance. You and I are on two, two way different wavelengths.

[Cindy Overton]

You said I hope you're enjoying your time at the beach and have a hot dog. So I'm thinking that you're thinking how are we on two different. I'm literally on your wavelength. You're not speaking what you're thinking.

[Woody Overton]

No, I am, I'm. I know exactly what I'm thinking. You're not getting, you're not catching what I'm putting down. My brain was beach barbecues. Wherever you're traveling. I hope you are enjoying this. It's a very, very special day.

[Cindy Overton]

It's a very special day.

[Woody Overton]

What do you have for us?

[Cindy Overton]

I have a story out of Sanford, Florida.

[Woody Overton]

All right.

[Cindy Overton]

And I hope because it's summer, maybe I won't be getting any more of these stories for a couple months.

[Woody Overton]

School stores. Yes, I'm pretty sure I had to go to summer school.

[Cindy Overton]

Well they're also, there are also year round schools now. So I say that. Well on December 19th of 2025, a 27 year old long term substitute teacher.

[Woody Overton]

Wait for it.

[Advertisement Host]

It's time for effort of professionals.

[Cindy Overton]

So Jeffrey Alexander Zhang who is a 27 year old long term substitute was arrested for battery of a student who was unable who's non verbal.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, these are the worst.

[Cindy Overton]

And on the autism spectrum. Yeah, it gets worse. So according to the arrest affidavit the student was lying on a mat when Jung walked into the room and punched the child in the right side and arm. But he. He said before he punched him, he said, you made Matthew's nose fucking bleed. And then started punching him.

[Woody Overton]

Okay?

[Cindy Overton]

The little boy who was laying on the floor, who was under supervision of other care, other teachers. The outburst was in reference to a separate incident where another student got a nosebleed. But Zhang apparently decided that this child, who couldn't verbally defend himself, was to blame, so he marched across the classroom and launched the attack. But the student was not being disruptive. He was not moving toward anyone. He was just lying on the mat. And Jung struck him not once, but twice. And police later described this as completely unprovoked violence. So when officers interviewed Jeong, he gave a chilling admission. He said he put his hands on the student for no reason. Not in self defense, not in response to aggression, just absolutely no reason.

[Woody Overton]

He's a dick.

[Cindy Overton]

So a staff member who witnessed the assault, of course, immediately reported the incident. And then the school resource officer stepped in and Junk was quickly arrested and charged with battery, but he was released from jail on a $1,000 bond. Does that mean he only had to come up with $100?

[Woody Overton]

Approximately 120, probably so.

[Cindy Overton]

The child's father told reporters that he intends to press charges on Jung, and he said his son has no way of speaking up for himself, which makes the act even more horrific. And then the school district does what, you know, all do, make their, yes, this is not tolerable and all that, but yet it continues. So that's where that is. And that is, you know, disgusting.

[Woody Overton]

That is disgusting. And prayers for the baby and Mr. John, I hope they send you to a very, very special place. Don't get it. And it is what it is. The. This is the time of the year kids are getting out of school, graduations and everything. We're partaking in all that glory. And at least down here, it's hot AF again and the grasses are growing, right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yes, it is. And the mosquitoes, too.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah. You know, I was watering the garden the other night, and that was the first time this year the mosquitoes tore me up. And I was doing it right at dark, which is kind of, you know, best time to do it, but it's kind of mistake. Mosquitoes love to come out right at dark. But, you know, it all goes back to the same concept of cutting your grass. This is time of year, right?

[Woody Overton]

All that shout out to Ruthie Cox, who does that, has a company, does that for a living. And I'm sorry, Ruthie, about your dad passing recently, but the. Y' all, you know, if you can hire a landscaper, that's really great stuff, right? And have somebody come take care of it. Me, I don't mind cutting the grass, but, you know, there's certain things that I can't do. I don't know about trimming hedges and shit like that, but we're about to learn it.

[Advertisement Host]

Anyway, let's go to.

[Woody Overton]

Gilbert, Arizona. Guess what happened in Gilbert?

[Cindy Overton]

I have no idea.

[Woody Overton]

Well, a couple hired Manuel Vega Lopez, who's 51 years old, come do some landscaping for him. All right. And he was hired by the. Actually the landlord hired to come to the landscaping. Well, the landlord maybe didn't communicate with the renter because the renter shot and killed Manuel Vega Lopez.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, yeah. That's horrible.

[Woody Overton]

And it really is so. Well, the next day the cops arrested 28 year old wife Ford for the shooting. And the, the police say they, you know, got a report of an argument at the residence. And when they got there, they found Mr. Lopez's body in front of the residence. And guess what? There are the 911 call came in as a. A disturbance and he was shot while the police were in route.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh.

[Woody Overton]

And so the cops didn't get there quite in time. According to ABC15 and Azz Az Central. Whatever, I guess it's Arizona. Ford assumed that Lopez was responsible for what Ford and his wife believed to be a break in, in their trailer a few days before he murdered Him. Now, the cops said that Ford had been informed, but had been informed by the landlord that a landscaper would be coming to location to trim trees in the ars in his yard.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Ford's wife told the cops that Ford had actually received a text message and responded to it. Landlord.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

And right after he shot Mr. Lopez, guess what he said. I didn't mean to. And that's. It's in the court documents. So anyway, Mr. Lopez is a native of Mexico. And his family said he's devoted, hard working landscaper and the eyes and legs for his wife who is on dialysis and losing her eyesight. He was a caring, attentive, respectful and loving husband, father and friend. A life full of love, hope, happiness and anything life could offer. Manuelita Vega said, he built our family in a home. Not an elegance, but in simplicity and contentment. As a father, he worked with all his strength in all the ways he could to earn the income and give his family all the support he could. And Lopez's son. This is going to get you as a cancer survivor and also remains ill as the family grieves. I don't know, man. So anyway, White Ford was taken into custody the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office on charges of second degree murder because he.

[Cindy Overton]

Said that this guy stole from him a few days prior.

[Woody Overton]

He thought.

[Cindy Overton]

Right.

[Woody Overton]

Because he was Mexican. He thought that. I don't know what the he thought. How about that? Yeah, he. His landlord sent the text. He responded to the text. Okay, you got a landscaper coming. A Mexican shows up and you shoot him. I'm pretty sure that should be a hate crime. The excuse is that somebody broke into my trailer a couple days ago and I thought it was him. I'm pretty sure that guy's not coming back in broad daylight to hit your trailer again.

[Cindy Overton]

No. And he's not going to probably show up with landscaping tools like I'm sure that guy rolled up with.

[Woody Overton]

That's.

[Cindy Overton]

I mean, you can't landscape without your.

[Woody Overton]

That's bad. Right? When your landscaper gets killed, that's bad.

[Cindy Overton]

Horrible.

[Woody Overton]

There you have it.

[Cindy Overton]

Guess that's my word of the day is horrible.

[Woody Overton]

Horrible. Come up with horrible hot dogs on the beach. I don't eat anything on the beach.

[Cindy Overton]

I know. That's why I was like. Because I didn't know how your brain would go to someone else eating food on the beach.

[Woody Overton]

Because what do we do every Memorial Day?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Well, what do we. What I do every Memorial Day?

[Cindy Overton]

Well, pre.

[Woody Overton]

What do I do every Memorial Day? Barbecue.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

All right. Go ahead.

[Cindy Overton]

Okay.

[Woody Overton]

Hot dogs.

[Cindy Overton]

You don't barbecue freaking hot dogs either.

[Woody Overton]

Bratwurst. I used to do the pink cheap pee when the kids were here.

[Advertisement Host]

The cheap pink hot dogs.

[Woody Overton]

Those are the best. They. They used to put myself like a dollar pack. We didn't have any money. We buy like 20 packs and Cokes and stuff would go on sale for like a what, a dollar or two dollars. A twelve pack.

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Now they're like $2,000 a twelve pack.

[Cindy Overton]

I think it's like $13 for.

[Woody Overton]

That is ridiculous. Yeah, that's almost as much as beer. A cheap beer.

[Cindy Overton]

I got that. It's like two for $13 but on sale like a dollar General like. I mean, it's ridiculous.

[Woody Overton]

That's why I drink Sam's Co Cola.

[Cindy Overton]

What?

[Woody Overton]

That's why I drink Sam's Cola.

[Cindy Overton]

I know.

[Woody Overton]

And eat hot dogs. All right.

[Cindy Overton]

I can count on one.

[Woody Overton]

Go ahead. Go ahead. You don't know how many hot dogs I ate before you.

[Cindy Overton]

I was. I kind of want the ones that you've eaten with me. I could probably count on one hand.

[Woody Overton]

I like to put them in a crawfish bowl. All right, your turn. I'll be quiet. Hot dogs.

[Cindy Overton]

Now we're going. I'm staying in Florida, I guess. Go with your hot dog beach theme.

[Woody Overton]

Right. Are you on the beach eating a hot dog?

[Cindy Overton]

No, but we're in Davenport.

Davenport, Florida.

[Cindy Overton]

And a problem with a child being on Fortnite when he wasn't allowed to be turned into a really bad situation. So on the evening of May 21st of 2025, officers from the Davenport Police department responded to a shooting at a residence on Citrus Landing Boulevard. And inside the home were 43 year old Kelly Agar Garcia, which is a man. And the Kelly caught me off guard. But his wife, Adrienne daza, and her two minor children who were aged nine and 11. And her adult son as a real J. Martinez. And he's 26. The problem began when Daza the mom discovered that her nine year old son was on Fortnite on his phone. And so she took his phone away from him. Okay, well. And when she said she took his phone and she said he had been forbidden to play, confiscated it. And the child was upset by the punishment. So he goes to his mom's nightstand drawer and pulls out a Smith and Wesson 9 millimeter.

[Woody Overton]

The fuck out of here.

[Cindy Overton]

And so the stepdaddy steps in and. Well, first the mom tries to disarm him. She can't. The stepdaddy steps in and he took the Weapon from the child. So who knows what's going on in this? Because then the adult child steps in and starts with a stepdaddy. They have an altercation. Well, the stepdaddy shot him multiple times in the chest and abdomen.

[Woody Overton]

And then pretty sure your explanation, it was an accident, went out the door the second, third, fourth time he pulled the trigger.

[Cindy Overton]

And when the adult child, whose last name is Martinez, is walking out of the room and you continue to shoot.

[Woody Overton]

Two more times back, you're definitely going to jail.

[Cindy Overton]

Right. And so he, Martinez, the adult child, was transported to a local hospital, but he passed away. So, Garcia, he was charged with second degree murder and unlawful storage of a firearm accessible to a minor, and he's been held in Polk County Jail.

[Woody Overton]

Sheriff Grady Judge.

[Cindy Overton]

But one more part of the story. The Florida Department of Children and Family Services had previously visited the household, but the details of that remain confidential. So. Wow, that's always troublesome to me when you know that people have reported issues and they put on the little perfect face and it looks like everything's perfect and they get to walk away.

[Woody Overton]

And then we've done a lot of stories about gamers getting killed by the parents or vice versa.

[Cindy Overton]

Or vice versa.

[Woody Overton]

That's crazy. I mean, our son games and plenty of loaded guns, but I'm not shooting them in the back. Well, you know what? Not a political show or whatever, racist or anything like that, but I did want to talk about this shooting that happened at a Jewish museum last week. And the U.S. attorney's office for the District Columbia announced multiple charges against Elias Rodriguez on Thursday, May 22. And why? Because he shot two Israeli embassy aides outside that museum. Okay. This is in D.C. the. The U.S. attorney's office for the District of Columbia announced on Thursday, May 22, that Elias Rodriguez, who's 31, has been charged with federal and local murder offenses in connection with the fatal shooting. Rodriguez has been charged by the US District Court for the District Columbia with the murder of foreign officials, causing death through the use of a firearm, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. He's also charged with the two counts of first degree murder under D.C. criminal code. Now, they said this brutal anti Semitic violence has no place in our country or anywhere in our civilization. That's coordinate Attorney General Pamela Bondi. We will follow the facts and secure the most severe possible punishment for the perpetrator of this heinous crime, which robbed two wonderful young people of a bright future together. So Rodriguez went to court, and on Thursday, he waived his right to A detention hearing and a plumbing hearing, except for the case in June 18th. But now he's just only answered I do or whatever when they asked him to understand the charges and his rights and all that bullshit. So the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department actually told what happened. Her name is, is actually Pamela Smith. She said in a press conference on Wednesday, the police responded to multiple calls of a shooting in the area. 3rd Street, F Street Northwest at approximately 9:08pm officers located one adult male and one adult female unconscious and not breathing at the scene. Now the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the Israeli embassy in the US identified the pair on X as Sarah Milgram and Yaron Linsky. The two were planning to get engaged before they were killed. Smith said that Milgram and Lisking had succumbed to their injuries despite life saving efforts. They were actually exiting the museum when they got shot. Now before the shooting, Rodriguez was seen pacing back and forth outside the museum before he walked up to a group of four people, pull whips that whips out a handgun, open fire. And that's when he struck and killed both this young couple. So after the shooting he, Rodriguez then entered the museum and thank God the security there swamp donkey didn't took him to the floor. And they have footage from an eyewitness show that he repeatedly shouted free Palestine while being taken away by police officer. Right. But of course they said he acted alone and the murder weapon had been recovered after they interviewed him and he, he said where he threw it. So I don't know. I mean I don't get the whole anti everybody thing.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly.

[Woody Overton]

Racism sucks.

[Cindy Overton]

How can you have so much rage and hate in your heart?

[Woody Overton]

Well, Landscaper got killed because he's a Mexican. He literally and no other reason. There had been a pretty young white girl, he wouldn't have shot her.

[Cindy Overton]

No.

[Woody Overton]

And the this couple, I read more about them, they were like the prime of their lives getting engaged. I think he bought the ring like two days before and they're. But they're diplomats for the Israeli embassy and this guy's hanging outside a Jewish museum and it's like I'm about to smoke me some. Jeez. Right.

[Cindy Overton]

I just can't imagine having that hate that you just fixate it so much that you sit outside a museum waiting.

[Woody Overton]

To kill somebody and it's stupid. Yeah, the y' all racism sucks.

[Cindy Overton]

Anytime a type of ISISM stucks like.

[Woody Overton]

There are kind of isms. Are they?

[Cindy Overton]

Well I had three in my head when you said that but hot dog. Hot dogism.

[Woody Overton]

Yeah, hot dogism on the Beachism sucks.

[Cindy Overton]

Racism. I don't know. I had. I was thinking, I'm going to boom this out because I sound.

[Woody Overton]

Don't boom it out. It's funny.

[Cindy Overton]

It's not funny.

[Woody Overton]

It is funny. Go ahead. Your turn.

[Cindy Overton]

I just think there's room in this world for everybody to love everybody. And as the first story you did said, if everybody could just respect each other. That's all. Just. If you don't like me, move. Go on. If you don't like my race. Yeah, move along.

[Woody Overton]

You don't like the podcast? Turn it off.

[Cindy Overton]

It's not like we're all in one itty bitty parcel of lands, you know? And we have to, like, blend and mesh together.

[Woody Overton]

And the world. That's because of all the veterans who died to keep. Exactly.

[Cindy Overton]

So you go to your side of town where your people are, and you stay there. Don't.

[Woody Overton]

It doesn't have to be your people. That's. That's right.

[Cindy Overton]

If you're being that way, if you're thinking that way. Yeah. Then go stay by your people.

[Woody Overton]

Oh, God. How about we all just be one people?

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly.

[Woody Overton]

Under God.

[Cindy Overton]

But if you can't, just be with yours.

[Woody Overton]

But is it indivisible with liberty and what for all.

[Cindy Overton]

Justice.

[Woody Overton]

Justice for all.

[Cindy Overton]

Right, you're being silly now. What is it into? What?

[Woody Overton]

I don't know what is. I'm still waiting on some isms. Okay, I'm gonna be in trouble again today. But it's okay because I'll make it up. I'll cook her a hot dog on the beach.

[Cindy Overton]

If you cook me on the beach. That's fine. I'll eat a sandwich.

[Woody Overton]

I'll take you right down the hill. There's a beach right down the hill.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, God.

[Woody Overton]

I'll cook you a hot dog. I have to get a big lighter out and put a cheap hot dog on a stick.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, my gosh.

[Woody Overton]

That's how much love I got.

[Cindy Overton]

You are so sweet.

All right, your turn.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, Kim Kardashian finally has some justice at least and her interpretation of things. She's got justice. I don't think she we're talking about.

[Woody Overton]

Her trial or not her trial, but the trial for the guy who robbed her. Yes, of her jury after she bling blinged it on social media.

[Cindy Overton]

So yes, nearly a decade after her armed robbery which occurred in 2016 and she where she was left bound, gagged and of course fearing for her life.

[Woody Overton]

They say in rape her.

[Cindy Overton]

Well that's what she keeps saying. Like most people quote I I was scared I was going to get raped. Like that's a quote in almost every article.

[Woody Overton]

That in Louisiana pretty much carries the same amount of time. Armed robbery you can get up to 99 years. Rape is up there too.

[Cindy Overton]

So on May 23, a Paris court found eight individuals guilty in connection with the heist.

[Woody Overton]

Yes, but Paris did some right.

[Cindy Overton]

None will face additional prison time because.

[Woody Overton]

They already served their time due to.

[Cindy Overton]

The prior time served and the advanced ages of the defendants.

[Woody Overton]

Wow. Hey France. I'm doing francism just I just gave y' all a shout out. Paris, this finally did some right now you went and it all up again.

[Cindy Overton]

That's right. So the robbery occurred during Paris Fashion Week. Do I need to go into all that? Where the I didn't know this part. That's the only reason why I'm saying it is that five of the men were disguised as police officers. I didn't know they were disguised.

[Woody Overton]

Lynn, tell the world about it.

[Cindy Overton]

They were masked men disguised as police officers that forced their way into her private residence while she was staying at that hotel Paris. And they held her at gunpoint, tied her up and stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry, including a four million dollar ring. And she testified in the court hearing this last week she feared she would be raped or killed during the ordeal. And she repeatedly pleaded with the assailant she said, I have babies and I need to get home to my babies.

[Woody Overton]

Right. Put the human face on.

[Cindy Overton]

Exactly. But the ringleader received an eight year sentence and five of which are suspended due to, like I already said, due to time already served. And none of the convicted defendants will serve further prison time. Two suspects were acquitted, although one was convicted of firearm possession. So in a statement following the verdict, Kardashian expressed gratitude to French authorities for pursuing justice. The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family, she said. While I'll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing. The quote goes on. But during the trial, Kardashian confronted her assailants with some expressing remorse. She told one defendant, I forgive you for what has taken place, but it doesn't change the emotion and feelings and the trauma the way my life is forever changed. And the court's decision, while delivering a measure of justice, has sparked discussion about the leniency of the sentences. And the judge is upset about this. He acknowledged the emotional harm caused to Kardashian, stating to the men, you have caused harm in. Even if you did not strike it still, you know, even if you didn't harm her physically, other than bounding and gagging her, you still caused her, you know, mental anguish.

[Woody Overton]

When you get robbed, it's. It's considered a crime of violence if they even. They don't touch you.

[Cindy Overton]

Yes. And the judge also speaks about the lenient, the leniency of the sentencing and doesn't agree with it. But I thought the judge could. I mean, I'm not a. I guess I don't know French law, but can't the judge, like, go in and do the sentencing, change sentencing or fine.

[Woody Overton]

Hold on, let me contact Philippe, not Felipe. What would be a good French name?

[Cindy Overton]

Felipe?

[Woody Overton]

No, that's Mexican.

[Cindy Overton]

Georges.

[Woody Overton]

George.

[Cindy Overton]

Jean Paul is a good person.

[Woody Overton]

My shard. They contact Jean Paul, my French attorney, and ask him what the. The court rules are over there.

[Cindy Overton]

Because I just figured if the judge wasn't satisfied with the sentence, you know, he thinks they should get more, then he should be able to make that change.

[Woody Overton]

Well, Hot Dog World, that probably is. Is a very legit statement.

[Cindy Overton]

Well, you're in Hot Dog World, dude.

[Woody Overton]

That's true. That's true. You know what, though? It wouldn't be true crime time 4 without us giving you the updates on Diddy. Yeah. But let me tell you what happened for the rest of the week. Last week and the. I'm just Gonna read the headlines. All right. And so stupid then. Not that the victim stuff. And if he's found guilty, him, but. All right, headlines. Cassie said she felt like Diddy's sex worker. A psychologist testified that money can enable abuse. That's a headline.

[Cindy Overton]

Jeez.

[Woody Overton]

Not reading the story. Wait, wait. There's so many of them. This is so stupid. Former Diddy employee reveals the alias he used for hotel rooms. And it had to do with Biggie. Okay. Kid Cutie Cudi, however, he said testifies in Diddy trial as claim resurfaces of corkscrew attack against Cassie. Kid Cootie Cuddy Cudi recalls confronting a jealous Diddy. You messed with my dog. These are headlines.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, my gosh.

[Woody Overton]

Kid Cootie was asked in court about Diddy allegedly blowing up his car. His three word response says it all. See photos of Kid Cootie's Porsche after it was damaged by a Molotov cocktail, allegedly on Diddy's orders. What happened between Kid Cootie and Cassie? A look back at their brief relationship and Diddy's alleged role in their split Diddy trial. Day nine, full recap. Kid Cootie says music mogul mess with my dog and recalls when his car exploded. Kid Cootie says Diddy was like a marvel supervillain when he confronted him over prime horse explosion. Judge says Diddy's trial should wrap up by July 4th as next witnesses are revealed. Makeup artist says her nap was interrupted by Diddy shouting and what she saw next was disturbing. Sean Diddy Combs, ex employee, testifies about his odd food demands, including applesauce on cheeseburgers.

[Cindy Overton]

Oh, now that's disgusting.

[Woody Overton]

What's disgusting is what does his weird food demands have to do with the sex trafficking trial?

[Cindy Overton]

Nothing. But we're reading it.

[Woody Overton]

Well, I got to keep the world abreast. Here's what Sean Diddy Combs will be eating and doing on Memorial Day in jail amid his criminal trial. You know what? I'm gonna read this one. You know what did he's gonna be doing? He's supposed to be spending a weekend in prison as a sex trafficking and racketeering trial goes on. On brief pause for the holiday. Now Sean Diddy Combs trial is on break and he's. Of course he's still in jail, right? Eight months after being arrested in the lobby of the five star Manhattan hotel, the rap mogul, 55, has been on trial for sex trafficking and other charges on accusation he abused numerous people. Blah, blah, blah. So he's on the fourth floor in A dormitory style unit that he shares with about 20 other men. Now an executive assistant in the prison said that Combs and his fellow inmates will be offered several activities for Memorial day on Monday, May 26. Spade card games, dominoes, three on three basketball tournament and a soccer tournament.

[Cindy Overton]

Wonderful.

[Woody Overton]

That's awesome, right? And according to a prison menu, Combs and the other inmates will eat a normal rotating Monday meal beginning with fruit, cereal, skim milk because we give a about their health and a breakfast cake to start their day. For lunch, Combs studio will have the choice of baked chili cheese tots or baked potato served with green beans, whole wheat bread, fruit and a drink.

[Cindy Overton]

That's amazing.

[Woody Overton]

But wait.

[Cindy Overton]

Not over yet.

[Woody Overton]

That's right. Because you got dinner time coming next.

[Cindy Overton]

Can't wait to see.

[Woody Overton]

Dinner will then consist of either a chicken breast sandwich or chickapee burger on a bun with some pinto beans, steamed rice, corn and a drink. Isn't that great?

[Cindy Overton]

That is just wonderful.

[Woody Overton]

The the. So there's your diddy for the beginning of the week, probably to the end of the week to do the rest of them.

[Cindy Overton]

They get activities.

[Woody Overton]

Oh man. When VHS was a thing and I worked in a prison very early 90s on Fridays they would go to the movie store and they would rent the movies. Rent the movies.

[Cindy Overton]

I don't get that.

[Woody Overton]

And I ran the largest rec room at DCI at the time. Record may the but they rent the movies in the back of the rec room. They had a microwave, pop popcorn, rent movies A. It'd be a full house.

[Cindy Overton]

I guess it would.

[Woody Overton]

And. And we just going to the theater tonight. Rec room A wow. Yeah. Regardless of the people out raped or murdered or robbed or whatever. Landscapers are shot.

[Cindy Overton]

[Cindy Overton]

That's disgusting.

[Woody Overton]

Yep. Well what.

[Cindy Overton]

What makes that like the state allows.

[Woody Overton]

That or actually decisions actually I think that is probably a. I thought it was a genius idea at the time because you know.

[Cindy Overton]

It'S keeps them from going crazy like. Okay, sorry, I'll let you talk.

[Woody Overton]

Especially during the summertime when it gets hot and there's no air conditioner and full moon comes up. You know it's kind of like the VHS tapes. The movies were babysitters. Right?

[Cindy Overton]

Yeah.

[Woody Overton]

Keep some of them out and you don't wanna. You don't want to miss out on movie nights and get swung to the hole. Right. So behave now. And now I'm sure they got TV satellite and whatever say anyway I've got some.
