Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, the Great America, and welcome this wonderful Fursday
Speaker 1: afternoon in the dry State. We have weather, we have
Speaker 1: the market, we have Tom Brenneman, we have Mike McConnell.
Speaker 1: We got assaults inside the Kenton County Jail, doc markets,
Speaker 1: and free fall. We're going to cover all these issues
Speaker 1: the next two or three hours with a segment of
Speaker 1: so much more. But until then, once again, Rob Sanders,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And I kind of
Speaker 1: monitor the case here of Timothy Delahanty, which is really unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And I texted you that this guy belongs to El
Speaker 1: Salvador in one of those prisons down there, which might
Speaker 1: be a fitting. But describe first of all the criminal
Speaker 1: history of this guy, who, on the same day he
Speaker 1: sentenced to life imprisonment, punches a deputy trying to take
Speaker 1: him to prison on a different charge. Tell us all
Speaker 1: about Dela.
Speaker 2: Hanty, Well Willie. Timothy Delahanty was the only suspect in
Speaker 2: a cold case murder out of Ellesmere, the dates all
Speaker 2: the way back to two thousand and six, just before
Speaker 2: I took off. His is the kamal at the Turney
Speaker 2: here in Kenton County. There wasn't enough evidence to charge
Speaker 2: him at the time, although he was investigated for years
Speaker 2: on end until longhold back and I believe it is
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. He walks up to a Covington police
Speaker 2: officer in a parking lot of Saint Elizabeth Hospital in
Speaker 2: Covington and says, hey, I want to talk to you
Speaker 2: about this fellow that I stabbed death out in Ellsmere
Speaker 2: eighteen nineteen years ago. Un Fortunately, that officer that he
Speaker 2: happened to walk up and talk to had spent a
Speaker 2: little bit of time working in Ellesmere before moving to
Speaker 2: the Covington Police department, so he knew what he was
Speaker 2: talking about. Didn't just think he was some kind of
Speaker 2: crazy person. Although he might be some kind of crazy person,
Speaker 2: but that's a whole nother story. Anyway, brought him in,
Speaker 2: called the Ellesmere Police. They sent a detective down, took
Speaker 2: his confession, we charged him up, and knighted him for murder.
Speaker 2: While he was incarcerated waiting for his case to be
Speaker 2: litigated on that murder charge, he decided to try and
Speaker 2: kill one of his fellow inmates at the Kenton County
Speaker 2: Detention Center. Another guy that was in from but we
Speaker 2: had it all on video where he came up behind
Speaker 2: him and choked him unconscious, tried to strangle him to death,
Speaker 2: and when that didn't work, he started stomping on his
Speaker 2: head while he was unconscious, right in a rec yard
Speaker 2: at the Kenton County Detention Center. So with his prior
Speaker 2: criminal history, he was eligible for sentencing enhancement as a
Speaker 2: persistent felony offender and first degree and he ended up
Speaker 2: entering an open plea means we refused to offer him
Speaker 2: any plea deals we were going to recommend the maximum.
Speaker 2: He went and plagued guilty anyway, went in front of
Speaker 2: the judge and Judge molloy and Kent Circuit Court gave
Speaker 2: him life sentences on both of those cases. So apparently
Speaker 2: mister Delahnty wasn't too happy about getting those two life
Speaker 2: sentences because he was taken back to the Kenton County
Speaker 2: Detention Center to prep him for transport down to Lagrange
Speaker 2: where they process all the state inmates. Before they could
Speaker 2: get him transported to Lagrange, he decided that as soon
Speaker 2: as one of the jail guards took his handcuffs off
Speaker 2: so he could shower, mister Delahnty took a sling at him,
Speaker 2: punched the jail wut right now in a face meanless
Speaker 2: to say, struggle was on. He did not win that fight,
Speaker 2: but he did get himself charged with the Sultan first
Speaker 2: degree persistent fellon the offender in the first degree. We
Speaker 2: charged him up, took in the trial, and the jury
Speaker 2: gave him a maximum sentence of twenty years.
Speaker 1: So he's facing life imprisonment and the killing of Paul Clayton.
Speaker 1: He's facing life imprisonment for the attempted murder of inmate
Speaker 1: Jonathan Muskiel, and now he's facing additional years for punching
Speaker 1: a cop. And the video is unbelievable. The CoP's been
Speaker 1: the guard's being a nice guy. You can't shire with
Speaker 1: your handcuffs on. Of course, down in El salvad Or
Speaker 1: not much shiring going on anyway. They put a fire
Speaker 1: hose in there every now and then and say I've
Speaker 1: ad it. And so this guy, thinking I have nothing
Speaker 1: to lose, let's punch a cop and try to take
Speaker 1: him out.
Speaker 2: And yeah, he thought he was going to get a
Speaker 2: freebe William. We don't give freeby's here in Kenton County.
Speaker 2: On any kind of criminal offenses, but especially not those
Speaker 2: against law enforcement. So we teet him up again. And
Speaker 2: even though it's not going to add any total time
Speaker 2: to a sentence, because of course you can't serve more
Speaker 2: than life. Once you're dead, they go ahead and haul
Speaker 2: your corpse out and bury you somewhere, So it really
Speaker 2: isn't going to add much to the total time he serves.
Speaker 2: But I tell you what, you are eligible for parole
Speaker 2: on a life sentence in twenty years. But now when
Speaker 2: he goes in front of that parole board, he's going
Speaker 2: to be looking at that one but two life sentences,
Speaker 2: is going to say, hey, wait a second. This guy
Speaker 2: was convicted of assaulting a jail guard and persistent fellon
Speaker 2: the offender, and the jury could have given him as
Speaker 2: little as ten years, but they maxed him out. They
Speaker 2: gave him twenty years. They told us that this guy
Speaker 2: doesn't need to ever get out of prison, and that
Speaker 2: quite frankly, willly short of sending him to the out
Speaker 2: Salvadorian prison, is the best place he can be is
Speaker 2: locked in a box here in Kentucky for the rest
Speaker 2: of his life. And although he will be parole eligible someday,
Speaker 2: with this new twenty year sentence for assault third degree
Speaker 2: and PFO first degree. I doubt he's ever going to
Speaker 2: see the light of day.
Speaker 1: He's not particularly an old man. He looks to be
Speaker 1: in his twenties or thirties. And the motivation of walking
Speaker 1: up to a police officer and saying, I want to
Speaker 1: confess to killing Paul Clayton, it's like you do, that's unusual.
Speaker 1: And then I've seen the video of him walking around
Speaker 1: the yard. I guess you got an hour a day
Speaker 1: out he wanted to kill somebody else. Jonathan Mskiel barely survived.
Speaker 1: So what's the punishment this guy could commit crimes and
Speaker 1: if and he could commit many crimes the next few years,
Speaker 1: and he gets nothing for it.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, he gets his sentence and it all
Speaker 2: it means is he's never going to get out. You know,
Speaker 2: if he'd gone in there and behaved himself, made use
Speaker 2: of his time, you know, gotten some education, maybe while
Speaker 2: he's in there, taking some classes, you know, woodworking classes,
Speaker 2: plumbing classes, they have all kinds of trade classes that
Speaker 2: they give him in prison. They teach him to be
Speaker 2: certified in Google. Whatever the hell that means, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but it gets your time off your sentence if you
Speaker 2: get certified in Google while you're in prison. That's one
Speaker 2: of the classes they offer. They have all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2: They have anger management classes, they have parenting classes, they
Speaker 2: have all sorts of things. And normally inmates can get
Speaker 2: time off their sentence for them, but not Timmy. Since he's
Speaker 2: a violent offender, he doesn't get most of that good
Speaker 2: time credit. But nevertheless, it doesn't really matter because you
Speaker 2: can't save time off the back end of a life sentence.
Speaker 2: And now they're going to see another assault on a
Speaker 2: law enforcement officer conviction that came after his life sentences. Like, buddy,
Speaker 2: you didn't learn your lesson from a life sentence, not
Speaker 2: two life sentences. You got twenty more years. In no way,
Speaker 2: we're never letting you out. And that's what mister de
Speaker 2: la Ante has to look forward to now. So he
Speaker 2: might think it's a freebe but I think you know,
Speaker 2: about nineteen and a half years when he meets the
Speaker 2: parole board, he's gonna regret taking a swing at the
Speaker 2: jail deputy here in Kenton County, because we don't let
Speaker 2: anybody take free swings that are jail deputies or any
Speaker 2: of our law enforcement officers in Kenton County. You're going
Speaker 2: to go to prison or stay in prison. Mister de
Speaker 2: la Ante's case, you're not getting out, and this will
Speaker 2: probably get him in some kind of height and security,
Speaker 2: you know, maximum security. They'll probably ship him down to Eddieville,
Speaker 2: which here is not a fun place to spend your time.
Speaker 2: But who knows, we might get a contract with the
Speaker 2: El Salvador him over there, because he would sit right
Speaker 2: in with all the Ms. Thirteen and everybody else that
Speaker 2: were sporting over to El Salvador to lock him up
Speaker 2: in their prisons.
Speaker 1: I don't think things are going to go well for
Speaker 1: Dela Hanty and Eddyville, but in L Salvador he would
Speaker 1: go very poorly. He didn't fit in down there. He
Speaker 1: thinks he's in tough dude, go into that prison to
Speaker 1: see how tough you are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dela Hanty, he was quite the full too and brought.
Speaker 2: At first, he refused to come back from prison. He
Speaker 2: wouldn't get out of his cell. Now I'm thinking, you know,
Speaker 2: if you're an El Salvador, I doubt you have a
Speaker 2: choice about whether or not you're coming out of your
Speaker 2: cell and they tell you to but apparently in Kentucky
Speaker 2: it's negotiable because he refused to come up to court
Speaker 2: a few times prior to trial, but somebody talked him
Speaker 2: into coming up before trial, so he came up, only
Speaker 2: to then come in the court room. First, he refused
Speaker 2: to put on his civilian clothes. You know they get
Speaker 2: they get your plane looking clothes. Even if you're serving
Speaker 2: a life sentence, you don't get into the court room
Speaker 2: in your jumpsuit. Although mister dela Hanty refused to change
Speaker 2: out of his pink jumpsuits, so he came into court
Speaker 2: shackled in a jumpsuit, and right before they brought the
Speaker 2: jury in, he started cussing the judge. He told me
Speaker 2: to perform a sex act on him, which I politely declined.
Speaker 2: He wasn't very happy with anybody. He was cussing me,
Speaker 2: cussing the judge, cussing the ballasts, cussing the deputy jailers,
Speaker 2: and eventually demanded to go back into his cell. And
Speaker 2: the judge asked him if he was waving his right
Speaker 2: to participate, and he dropped a few more f bombs
Speaker 2: and she says, I'll take that as a yes, sends
Speaker 2: him on back so we actually did his trials fastest
Speaker 2: tribe ever done, Willie. We were done in just a
Speaker 2: little over three hours, which is unheard of. Normally my
Speaker 2: trials go two, three, four days or more. But we
Speaker 2: got this spell any conviction, twenty years sentence done in
Speaker 2: three hours. But mister Dela Hanty wasn't there to enjoy
Speaker 2: it with me. He was back in his jail cell.
Speaker 1: So day La Hannah asked the county prosecutor to have
Speaker 1: intercourse with yourself, and you turned down those offers. And
Speaker 1: Tony Bender wants to know, is it legal to have
Speaker 1: a murder trial with the murderer not present?
Speaker 2: Well, it's not if there if they're like if somebody
Speaker 2: it doesn't show up to the court, will you can't
Speaker 2: start a trial without him. But if they are there
Speaker 2: in the courthouse and they are just making a disruption
Speaker 2: of themselves causing if they are the ones causing the problem,
Speaker 2: first of all, they can waive their right to be
Speaker 2: present for their own trial, or the judge can have
Speaker 2: them removed if they're disrupting the proceedings after having been warned.
Speaker 2: But this was a kind of a combination of both.
Speaker 2: The judge gave him every opportunity. He told him he
Speaker 2: had to behave himself and quit you know, calling people
Speaker 2: fu and F this and F that, that he had
Speaker 2: to behave himself. He wouldn't do that. She asked him
Speaker 2: if he was waving his right to appear. He dropped
Speaker 2: a few more f's and she said, I'll take that
Speaker 2: as a yes, and that was the end of him. So, no,
Speaker 2: you can. You can't proceed the trial if somebody is
Speaker 2: present at the courthouse and they are just the reason
Speaker 2: the trial is not proceeding with them in the courtroom.
Speaker 1: It's talking about twenty years. It'll be sa always say
Speaker 1: it'll be twenty forty five, twenty forty five, And mister
Speaker 1: Della hands he's gonna come up for per in his
Speaker 1: late fifties. By that point, the odds of getting it
Speaker 1: are quite small. And then he's gonna die. He's going
Speaker 1: to die in a box and then be put in
Speaker 1: a box.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and be carried out of prison in a box.
Speaker 2: I anticipate that's the only way he's getting out of prison.
Speaker 1: Well, good luck to Timothy Delahanty. So when you have
Speaker 1: jail guards that are being attacked in the future, I
Speaker 1: would imagine you have to shackle the guy even when
Speaker 1: he's taking a shower, going to the bathroom. How do
Speaker 1: you do that?
Speaker 2: I don't know's that's Timmy's problem. Now he's going to
Speaker 2: figure out and I have to how to soap himself
Speaker 2: up with with shackles on, because I know they don't
Speaker 2: take him off of him very often anymore, and they
Speaker 2: certainly don't do it with only one guard standing next
Speaker 2: to him. Everywhere he goes, he's accompanied by three or
Speaker 2: four of our detention Center's finest and biggest and nobody
Speaker 2: turns their back on mister dela Anty anymore, that's for certain.
Speaker 1: Well, that's unfortunate, but he's going to get a full
Speaker 1: measure of Kentucky justice well past our lifetimes and maybe
Speaker 1: some others lifetime. It's unbelievable. This guy gets all these
Speaker 1: full measures of justice and he's just killing people, trying
Speaker 1: to kill people, trying to punch guards, trying to kill guards.
Speaker 1: If that guard I saw the video, if he was
Speaker 1: by himself, didn't have those two harry S men behind him,
Speaker 1: other guards, he would have been in deep trouble. This
Speaker 1: guy Della Hanty would have killed him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fight was on, I'll tell you what it was.
Speaker 2: Deputy Adam Oglesby is the one who took the punch
Speaker 2: and then started the wrestling with mister dela Hanty, got
Speaker 2: on top of him, got him secured as his other
Speaker 2: guards ran over to help him. And I wouldn't want
Speaker 2: to fight at him. He's a big dude and obviously
Speaker 2: knows a little wrestling or jiu jitsu or something, because
Speaker 2: he flipped mister dela Hanty over and put his head
Speaker 2: in the ground and held him there until the other
Speaker 2: guards could get him handcuffed. Mister dela Hanty took a
Speaker 2: couple of tasings in the process because he wouldn't cooperate
Speaker 2: put his hands behind his back, So no, I think
Speaker 2: mister de la Hanty ended up beating him bloody by
Speaker 2: the end of it. Actually, I think the guards showed
Speaker 2: tremendous restraint because if he'd ha a sucker punched me
Speaker 2: like you did at him, I don't know that I
Speaker 2: could have resisted the temptation to throw a few sucker
Speaker 2: punches myself, but Adam did very professional about it, got
Speaker 2: him into handcuffs and they just locked him down in
Speaker 2: a restraint chair and put him in isolation and let
Speaker 2: him sit there until he calm him down. I don't
Speaker 2: think he's ever tried it again, because I'm definitely certain
Speaker 2: that mister dellahuan't. He got the worst of that interaction.
Speaker 1: I imagine.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Lastly, you have some politicians in my home state of
Speaker 1: Kentucky causing some Trump kind of ripples. Number one is
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey is not Trump's favorite. Every time he runs
Speaker 1: against eighty percent of the vote. And then you have
Speaker 1: Ran Paul and then you have Mitch McConnell voting against
Speaker 1: the tariffs. You have the three most prominent politicians in
Speaker 1: Kentucky not on the So I always say that Trump
Speaker 1: trained whatsoever? Does this give you an idea that maybe
Speaker 1: you will run for Senate or Congress.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I'm certainly not running against
Speaker 2: Thomas Massey. Thomas and I are buddies. I don't agree
Speaker 2: with everything Thomas does, but I agree with a lot
Speaker 2: of things Thomas does. And if there's one thing that
Speaker 2: I love about Thomas, it's how principled he is. And
Speaker 2: when he believes in something, he stands by it. And
Speaker 2: nine times out of ten I'll agree with him, and
Speaker 2: even on the tenth time, when I don't, I still
Speaker 2: respect how principled he is, because we certainly don't have
Speaker 2: enough of that principle left in Washington, d C. But
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure what you were talking about, Willie. I
Speaker 2: thought it was the pregnant congressmen were the ones that
Speaker 2: were blowing things up here in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: I didn't think any of those guys were having babies
Speaker 2: or anything. So I was a little confused there. But nevertheless,
Speaker 2: you know, that's something. Thomas was the congressman that required
Speaker 2: everybody to come back in person and vote for those
Speaker 2: giant COVID and AID packages that put US trillions of
Speaker 2: dollars in debt and blew up the economy with all
Speaker 2: this inflation. You know, he was the one that said,
Speaker 2: this is what's going to happen if you do it,
Speaker 2: and everybody should come back to DC and vote on
Speaker 2: the record. So as sympathetic as I am to new
Speaker 2: mothers and new followers that want to be proxy voting,
Speaker 2: I certainly understand and respected the fight against proxy voting
Speaker 2: that Thomas initially undertook. As for Senator Paul, I really
Speaker 2: haven't followed his fight on the tear enough to know
Speaker 2: who's right and who's wrong there. All I know is
Speaker 2: that it would sure be nice if we could either
Speaker 2: have no tariffs like all the foreign countries do, or
Speaker 2: the same tariffs, the big tariffs, not the little tiny tariffs,
Speaker 2: but the big tariffs like the foreign countries. You know,
Speaker 2: Canada especially is imposing on the United States. I don't
Speaker 2: know why our exporters should be hit with and fifty
Speaker 2: percent tariffs and then the United States is not allowed
Speaker 2: to tariff back at all. I just don't get the
Speaker 2: fairness in that. So I don't know. We'll see how
Speaker 2: it shakes out. The President asked us to trust him.
Speaker 2: I know the stock market doesn't look like it's trusting him.
Speaker 2: But nevertheless, that just presents buying opportunities. Willie. You know,
Speaker 2: every time I see Tesla stop drops drops some more.
Speaker 2: I think maybe now is the time I'll finally invest
Speaker 2: in Tesla. But these days, the S and P five
Speaker 2: hundred down, that's great time. It's really tough to beef
Speaker 2: up the four oh one k's and any retirement savings
Speaker 2: because now when you can buy a discount, and when
Speaker 2: this all does come around, because it always does come around,
Speaker 2: the stock market never stays down forever. When it does
Speaker 2: come back around, everybody that's got money that they're putting
Speaker 2: in now we'll be making money hand over fist.
Speaker 1: The only ones he get hurt on a roller coaster
Speaker 1: are the ones that jump off.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Lastly, Boone County Sheriff. Tell me about the new Boone
Speaker 1: County Sheriff, Well.
Speaker 2: The new Boone County Sheriff, effected April fifteenth, is going
Speaker 2: to be a fellow by the name of I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: Less Hill, Sorry, replacing Sheriff Helming. Mike Helmiing, who's been
Speaker 2: the sheriff in Boone County for thirty plus years, done
Speaker 2: an absolutely fantastic job. Oversaw the combination of the Sheriff's
Speaker 2: department and the Boone County Police Department. They used to
Speaker 2: have separate police and sheriff's departments in Boone County like
Speaker 2: we do here in Kenton, but they combined it out
Speaker 2: there in Boone County, and the police department merged into
Speaker 2: the Sheriff's office. And I don't know that it ever
Speaker 2: would have gone nearly as well as it did if
Speaker 2: it weren't Mike Helming in command. And so the hats
Speaker 2: off to Sheriff Hellming, and thank you for all his
Speaker 2: years of service. He's done a fantastic job. But Gary Moore,
Speaker 2: the Bon County Judge executive, just announced a couple days
Speaker 2: ago that he's appointing Sheriff helmers right hand man is
Speaker 2: chief Deputy and good friend Less Hill to go from
Speaker 2: the number two man to the number one man. And
Speaker 2: congratulations to Less, who will be the first new Boom
Speaker 2: County sheriff in decades. And I know that there's no
Speaker 2: more qualified person for the job than Sheriff helmc's right
Speaker 2: hand man. So two good men. Best wishes to Sheriff
Speaker 2: Hellmg and his retirement, and best of luck to Less
Speaker 2: as he takes over a very fine law enforcement agent.
Speaker 1: All Rob Sanders, Isaai Sanders for Kentucky Red and white
Speaker 1: buckets everywhere. It's the future of politics. But once again,
Speaker 1: good luck with mister Timothy Delahanty. Beat the crap out
Speaker 1: of him and send him to El Salvador. And Rob
Speaker 1: Sanders once again, thank you for coming on the Bill
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. And you're a great American. Thank you, Rob.
Speaker 2: Thanks Willie and go Red.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course score some runs might be good. Let's
Speaker 1: continue with more and by the way, the Reds. Last
Speaker 1: time the red went back to back at home losing
Speaker 1: one to nothing in two games was nineteen oh seven,
Speaker 1: during the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt. It's been a while.
Speaker 1: Hopefully the nineteen scoreless industreak ends tonight in Milwaukee on
Speaker 1: news radio seven hundred WLW.
