1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Kentucky, Anda, Welcome into the seven o'clock hour,

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and welcome to July. It is July first, and it's

3
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a wet start, so be safe out there. Many accidents

4
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.359
<v Speaker 1>throughout the morning. We'll give you the latest. In fact,

5
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:14.039
<v Speaker 1>I lied, we.

6
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Won't one person.

7
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, Bobby Ellis will have your update on traffic, and

8
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.199
<v Speaker 1>again you're going to need that update if you're commuting

9
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.039
<v Speaker 1>throughout the Louisville area because again many accidents that have

10
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>led to lanes being blocked and some real delays.

11
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 2>So just be prepared, all right.

12
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>So obviously the Crystal Rogers murder case, the trial in

13
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 1>its second week. Yesterday another day where I think, if

14
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 1>you are the defense, not a good day for you,

15
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>but maybe they disagree. So the latest here is that

16
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>we I think have what is believed to be the

17
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>first I mean, I feel like I've kept up with

18
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 1>this as best I can, but I also don't want

19
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>to talk out of turn, because you know, I'm sure

20
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 1>there's plenty that I that I'm not up the date

21
00:00:58.719 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>on as.

22
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Far as just specific d details, but.

23
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 1>With this being a no body homicide, of there being

24
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>no crime scene, and it's just all circumstantial evidence, that,

25
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of course, is something that the defense should never stop

26
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>mentioning and emphasizing to the jury. But the hair that

27
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>was found in a trunk of a vehicle that is

28
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>similar in color and characteristics to christ Roger's hair through DNA,

29
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 1>but the testing was not confirmed. So let me back up.

30
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 1>It was similar in color and characteristics, but through DNA

31
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 1>they could not confirm it. So it's one of those

32
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 1>things where I'd love to have a lawyer here to

33
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>tell me if you can't. I mean, I guess you're

34
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed to bring up the fact that it was it

35
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 1>was similar in color and characteristics, but you also then

36
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 1>have to make sure that it's known that DNA could

37
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 1>not confirm that it was her hair. So to me,

38
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that says that it's inconclusive as far as whose hair

39
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 1>it is. But that of all the all the information

40
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>that that that it's been out there in the last

41
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 1>six days, because yesterday was day six of the trial,

42
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's the first thing we for the

43
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 1>first piece of evidence that has been mentioned as far

44
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>as actual physical evidence, and even that is pretty pretty

45
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty weak, right, I mean, it's not I mean, it's

46
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not her hair. It's just hair that is

47
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>similar in color and characteristics. So trust me, in no

48
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>way am i trying to make it seem as if

49
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm defending those that are that are on trial here,

50
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 1>because I am someone that just judging what we have

51
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>learned from those that are in the courtroom covering this

52
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>trial and sharing what is going on. If I was

53
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 1>on the jury, I think I know what I would

54
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>do as far as my decision, but I guess you

55
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>never really know until you're there. So more testimony from

56
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>witnesses that again I think, put the defense here in

57
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>an even worse spot. You've got another witness who testified.

58
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 1>This is the former girlfriend of Nick how Brooks, Hawk's brother,

59
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 1>who did claim that his absence was very unusual on

60
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 1>July third, which of course is right around the time

61
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that she disappeared. But the former girlfriend, Amber Bowman, testified

62
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>that she couldn't reach Nick Hawk despite multiple phone calls,

63
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.159
<v Speaker 1>and he reappeared the next day with no explanation, and

64
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>this aligne with the digital forensics evidence showing Nick's phone

65
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>was off for nearly twenty four hours during the critical

66
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:30.319
<v Speaker 1>period of Rogers's disappearance, which of course has just been.

67
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Very suspicious to say the least.

68
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Also, a former employee of the Hawk family, Charlie Gerdley,

69
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>who also had testified in Steve Lawson's trial, he provided

70
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 1>some claims. He alleges that Hawk's mother, Rosemary, said that quote,

71
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>it would be better off if Crystal were gone, suggesting

72
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a motive within the Hawk family that of course has been.

73
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>That was last week where that became a real point

74
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>of emphasis early on in the trial that the mother

75
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>was of the belief again according to the prosecution, that

76
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Krystal Rogers was beneath the Hawk family. So Curtly also

77
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>further testified that Joseph Lawson claimed that he would bury

78
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Rogers car with a skid steer and nobody would ever

79
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>find it. And then another witness, somebody who was raccoon

80
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 1>hunting on the Hawk family property on July third, testified

81
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>seeing a white car later identified as belonging to Anna Whiteside,

82
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>who was Hawk's grandmother. Investigators found a hair in the

83
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>car in the trunk that again was similar in color

84
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and characteristics to Rogers hair, but DNA testing was not

85
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 1>confirmed in court. Also, surveillance footage showed Nick Hawk and

86
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 1>his grandmother and a white side selling the car in

87
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 1>May of twenty sixteen, so this isn't a smoking gun.

88
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>But again I think as this moves along, I would

89
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>assume that the prosecution's feeling pretty good about their case.

90
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>But you really never know. But we'll have the latest

91
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>because again it rolls along today and we'll see where

92
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>it goes. All right, we've got trafficking weather coming your way. Also,

93
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 1>there's another survey out that I want to take a

94
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 1>look at because those of you that are in the

95
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 1>position to purchase brand new vehicles, congratulations, you've probably got

96
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 1>the means to do so, and again, good for you.

97
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>But we now have an update on what those who

98
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>are purchasing new vehicles are complaining about the most. Some

99
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 1>of it won't surprise you, but there's one specific complaint

100
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that did surprise me. We'll talk about that next right

101
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 1>here our news radiway forty WHS. So we now know

102
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 1>that the suspect Wes Rowley, that is the young man's name.

103
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>He was a twenty year old. He has been identified

104
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 1>as the individual who started the fire and then waited

105
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 1>for firefighters to arrive in Idaho and ambush them. He's

106
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty years old, as mentioned and he's seemingly transient. It

107
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.319
<v Speaker 1>sounds as if he's spent time living in California, Arizona,

108
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and Idaho, and he aspired to be a forest firefighter.

109
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 1>And we don't know and probably will never know for

110
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>sure a motive. But I wouldn't be shocked if him

111
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>attempting to get into that business and not being hired

112
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>for a job he applied for wouldn't be a shocker

113
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>if that was a factor here. Yeah, he applied for

114
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 1>a forestry service job but was not hired by the

115
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 1>local fire department. There, So just a tragic situation to

116
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 1>get in. Two firefighters dead and one still fighting for

117
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>his life.

118
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 2>All right.

119
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>So we've got another survey here that tells us those

120
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that are purchasing the newer vehicles what their biggest complaints

121
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>are about these vehicles.

122
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:37.600
<v Speaker 2>So this is JD.

123
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Powers twenty twenty five initial quality survey from new car buyers.

124
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:47.240
<v Speaker 1>And one of the one of the big complaints is

125
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 1>one that I did not I did not see as

126
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>as I mean, it makes sense, but I wouldn't have

127
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>thought of it. But touchscreen frustration took the top spot,

128
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not sure what the second one was, but

129
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the third biggest complaint from those that buy new vehicles is.

130
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 2>About cup holders.

131
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 1>So cup holder complaints have surged, and it is believed

132
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>to be a surprising thing for industry executives in the

133
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.279
<v Speaker 1>automotive industry because that's not something they typically see people

134
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 1>being dissatisfied. But it's now the third most reported problem

135
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>industry wide, up from it wasn't even in the top

136
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 1>ten last year. But buyers re frustrated the cup holders

137
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>failed to accommodate the diverse shapes and sizes of modern

138
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 1>reusable containers such as Yetti and Stanley mugs. And of

139
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.759
<v Speaker 1>course these are larger than just cups, and some of

140
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>them are. I mean, my wife, she's real big on

141
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 1>getting a new, humongous cup every week and she'll tell

142
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 1>me how you won't believe how cold the drink stays.

143
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>And I mean the latest one she has not only

144
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>does it not fit in the cup holder very well,

145
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 1>it might need to be buckled up in a seatbelt.

146
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's clearly a big thing, meaning a

147
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>booming industry where I'm sure a lot of money has

148
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 1>been made because Yetti, I feel like was maybe that's

149
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>just the bigger brand, but I remember when like Yetti.

150
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>What do you call them?

151
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 3>I feel like there's Ozark trail I remember was, yeah, brand,

152
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 3>But what do you.

153
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Mean are they called?

154
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Like these are brands we're discussing, but like these are

155
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.439
<v Speaker 1>just really they're not glasses, but I mean they're high

156
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>level cups that have I mean, they're bulky, like you

157
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>drop one on your foot, you might break your toe.

158
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.399
<v Speaker 1>Like I mean, I'm blanking on just what these are

159
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>referred to, because when I think of a Yetti or

160
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.279
<v Speaker 1>a Stanley or like you with a tumbler, Yeah, yeah,

161
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>that's it, thank you, thank you brain fart there. Yeah,

162
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>so those types of cups, I don't remember those existing

163
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 1>like they did like they do now even five six

164
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>years ago. But you know, it's it's like become an

165
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 1>accessory with a lot of people. And look, they're popular.

166
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you you know you can. You can put

167
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of whatever you're drinking in there and it

168
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>keeps it cold. So I'm not being a hater, but

169
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:00.799
<v Speaker 1>like to me, it's just bold key and in the way.

170
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 1>Like again, I'm not surprised these things aren't fitting in

171
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>cup holders. But maybe now the automotive industry will try

172
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 1>to accommodate, but like they're all different. Not only are

173
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>they big, but they're all different sizes too. So yeah,

174
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>will they make adjustments here when they make vehicles moving forward?

175
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 2>I doubt it. But what do I know.

176
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:25.080
<v Speaker 3>The bigger the cup holder, the worser fuel economy is

177
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:25.639
<v Speaker 3>what it's going to be.

178
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, because it hers doesn't fit well in her vehicle.

179
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 1>If she hits a left turn with some speed, it's

180
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>falling onto the into the in the passengers seat and

181
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>it lands on the floorboard, and I mean sounds like

182
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 1>she ran over a pothole or something. I mean, these

183
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.159
<v Speaker 1>things are bulky and in the way, but clearly they

184
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>get the job done as far as keeping your drink cold. Anyways,

185
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 1>if you're if you're listening this morning, honey, just just

186
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 1>know it's not you that that that can't find a

187
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 1>cup that'll fit in your cup holder. Everybody else complaining

188
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 1>about it too. All right, we've got trappick in weather

189
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>coming your way. Also another update on sports right here

190
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:08.360
<v Speaker 1>on news radio eight forty WHS. Thank you very much,

191
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>John Shannon at seven thirty six here at Kentucky, and

192
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>it's morning news on news radio eight forty whas so

193
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the the last meal that death row inmates receive has

194
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:26.519
<v Speaker 1>always been been been Well, I'm trying to think of

195
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the right way to word this because I don't want

196
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to get into, you know, people sharing their thoughts on

197
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the death penalty. I certainly have mine, but if you were,

198
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's let's put it this way. Let's not act

199
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>like we're about to be sentenced to death. John, Let's

200
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>let's look at it this way. Let's just say, for

201
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.559
<v Speaker 1>the rest of your life, you know, you're gonna be

202
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>eating some kind of like I guess, just prison food.

203
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's put it that way. Let's not think about death.

204
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's just think we only have prison food the rest

205
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>of our lives because that was all that was available.

206
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>But you get one meal to have before that just

207
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>be comes the new norm, nothing but prison food. Do

208
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:04.639
<v Speaker 1>you have to give it any thought or do you

209
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 1>know right away?

210
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Right away?

211
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 3>And this may be controversial for some people, at least

212
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 3>it is amongst some of my friends. But I really

213
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 3>love a good pizza, King Pizza from across the.

214
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.440
<v Speaker 2>River, and the hell's controversial about that. Some people don't

215
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:17.799
<v Speaker 2>like it.

216
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what I mean it is, but people

217
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>say it's a nostalgic thing. That's why I like it.

218
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 2>But I love it. This is super popular, right, like

219
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.919
<v Speaker 2>thin crust, square pieces. It's very good.

220
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So look, you can't go wrong with pizza. You

221
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>can't go I mean, I think, I mean, this is

222
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>probably probably an overused saying, and I'm not going to

223
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 1>challenge anybody to find me pizza that I wouldn't like.

224
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 1>But it's hard to mess up pizza. It is, I mean,

225
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>it's very difficult to mess up pezza.

226
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.159
<v Speaker 3>But it's also hard to dethrone what everyone thinks is

227
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:47.720
<v Speaker 3>their favorite.

228
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Of course.

229
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, of course, everybody's got their own preference, their own

230
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if somebody's ordering pizza and it happens to

231
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.919
<v Speaker 1>not be the one that I would choose, or even

232
00:11:57.960 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 1>in the top five of what I would choose as

233
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>is what pizza I would go with, I'm not going

234
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 1>to complain because I know I'm gonna still be satisfied

235
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>because again, I love pizza and I haven't had many

236
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>bad pieces of pizza in my life. But there is

237
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a list here from Delish.

238
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.879
<v Speaker 2>They they have put.

239
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Together a recent study that reveals what people would want

240
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>as their last meal that they got to choose, and

241
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>number one is steak. Number two is potatoes. We talk

242
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.799
<v Speaker 1>in baked potato, we talk in mashed potatoes.

243
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Will find two steak and potatoes, meal.

244
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Pasta and noodles, some type of pasta dishes number three,

245
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.759
<v Speaker 1>and then pizza is number four, and then vegetables come

246
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:37.519
<v Speaker 1>in at number five.

247
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Vegeta mean vegetables.

248
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not the most healthy eater to where I'm eating

249
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>all the different vegetables, but even as like a.

250
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Kid, I was.

251
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Rare as far as like I really enjoyed broccoli, cauliflower,

252
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:56.399
<v Speaker 1>green beans, corn, carrots. I mean, there's certain vegetables that

253
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I that I don't touch, but I like vegetables. But like,

254
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:02.519
<v Speaker 1>if I'm thinking, okay, one meal, I'm not thinking vegetable.

255
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, honestly, for me, it would be it would

256
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.879
<v Speaker 1>be some kind of pizza. And I got a few

257
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.559
<v Speaker 1>that really are up there as far as just my favorites.

258
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.039
<v Speaker 1>But if on the spot, I really don't know.

259
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 2>What I would choose.

260
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 3>You got to have a favorite.

261
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Eh, Well, I'll tell y'all air my favorite. Okay, there's

262
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.039
<v Speaker 1>a reason why I'll tell y'allf air. But anyhow, this

263
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.799
<v Speaker 1>is a breakdown of those that were in fact facing

264
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 1>the death penalty, and they got to they got to

265
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:36.639
<v Speaker 1>choose their their last meal, and frequent requests were fried chicken, steak, Hamburger's, cheeseburgers,

266
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 1>and of course pizza. And there's there's certain states that

267
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.759
<v Speaker 1>have sea In Florida, meals must cost hundred forty dollars

268
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 1>or less and be purchased locally. In Oklahoma it's limited

269
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.759
<v Speaker 1>to twenty five dollars and it's often from local restaurants.

270
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>But Texas they abolished custom last meals in twenty eleven

271
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.480
<v Speaker 1>after one of their inmates I guess.

272
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 2>Got of me and didn't eat it.

273
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>So now inmates there received the same meal as others

274
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.679
<v Speaker 1>in the prison unit as their last meal. And then

275
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 1>in Louisiana, the warden traditionally joins the inmate, which I

276
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of remember hearing that as a thing. But isn't

277
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that wild?

278
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.960
<v Speaker 2>It's very weird. I mean, is that still a thing?

279
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe I'm reading research from long ago, but

280
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there's something kind of sick about that.

281
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.559
<v Speaker 1>I Mean, maybe I'm wrong, but you're a warden and

282
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you are in charge of a prison, and there are

283
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>people that are there on death row. I'm sure you

284
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker 1>have some level of rapport with them for one reason

285
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>or another, maybe because you are compassionate and you are human,

286
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 1>or maybe because they give you problems and you have

287
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.279
<v Speaker 1>to deal with that as the warden.

288
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>But I it's.

289
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Chilling to think about having a final meal with somebody

290
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:51.679
<v Speaker 1>before they they're dead because of the death penalty. But yeah,

291
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>hopefully I never have to worry about.

292
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:53.600
<v Speaker 2>A last meal.

293
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>And in fact, I don't think I could enjoy a

294
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.799
<v Speaker 1>last meal like it would be good, but like I would,

295
00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

296
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 3>You're just thinking about what's coming afterwards.

297
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is not a shock at all, but

298
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these inmates that have their last request.

299
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a breakdown as far as the percentage,

300
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.679
<v Speaker 1>but they end up not even having the appetite one

301
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:12.759
<v Speaker 1>because they probably haven't eaten like that in a long

302
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 1>time because they've been in prison, or they can't eat

303
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>because they know they're about to die. I didn't plan

304
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>on it's the waste of a good meal. I didn't

305
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.039
<v Speaker 1>plan on getting sick and twisted this morning. But I

306
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know, just the whole warden having a meal with

307
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the inmate before he's about to be sentenced to death

308
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.279
<v Speaker 1>or not sentence, but actually die is just a wild

309
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 1>thing to think about. All right, we've got sports coming

310
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>up here in about fifteen minutes, but first let's get

311
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.679
<v Speaker 1>to traffic and weather right here on news radio waight

312
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>forty WHS seven forty seven here at Kentuckiana's Morning News

313
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.960
<v Speaker 1>with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight forty whas.

314
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Take us with you wherever you go.

315
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Listen live at WHS dot com or listen live on

316
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.879
<v Speaker 1>the iHeartRadio app. And remember we've got the talkback feature there.

317
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Just click that microphone button and you'll be prompted to

318
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>share whatever it is you want with us. So we

319
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 1>have had a real surge so far in the last

320
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Speaker 1>couple of months. In fact, it's probably been something going

321
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.799
<v Speaker 1>on longer than just a couple of months, but the

322
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.279
<v Speaker 1>rise in recent weeks has been very noticeable. And that

323
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:17.480
<v Speaker 1>is violent crime that is involving children, juveniles, rather it

324
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 1>be those as victims or the perpetrator or both. And

325
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I think there are a lot of people who get

326
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.159
<v Speaker 1>up every day, go to work, try to make a living,

327
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.440
<v Speaker 1>take care of their family. They maybe have some effort

328
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:33.159
<v Speaker 1>into keeping up with what's going on in the community.

329
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>But they're in their own world, just living their life.

330
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>And I get it. A lot of people are like that.

331
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:44.720
<v Speaker 1>But if news is just a background noise for you, understandably,

332
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>So when you hear that a twelve year old girl

333
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.519
<v Speaker 1>turned herself in for being involved in one of the

334
00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 1>recent shootings that took place in Louisville, that is something

335
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 1>that will get your attention, because again we're talking about

336
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 1>a twelve year old. So you have a twelve year

337
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>old and a thirteen year old that have been charged

338
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:01.039
<v Speaker 1>in one of the recent shootings here in Louisville that

339
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:06.079
<v Speaker 1>left two teenage girls injured. And that's one of many

340
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.279
<v Speaker 1>situations like that, maybe not to the level of being

341
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.759
<v Speaker 1>that young, but the burglaries that took place that there

342
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 1>were a string of them, and the suspects that were

343
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:23.119
<v Speaker 1>arrested were all teenagers fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen year olds.

344
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.799
<v Speaker 1>You also have a drive by shooting that took place

345
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>just a little under two weeks ago in the Beutual

346
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood where a fifteen year old girl and a seventeen

347
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 1>year old boy were injured, and the person arrested for

348
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 1>that was a seventeen year old male. So I mean,

349
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>this is scary and one of the LMPD sergeants Joe Keeling,

350
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 1>when talking about this recently, he mentioned of course the

351
00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>rise in juvenile crime and did mention that during summer,

352
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 1>when school is out, it can climb, and also emphasizing

353
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.519
<v Speaker 1>that parents parenting is of course a big firector here,

354
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.480
<v Speaker 1>but not only that, even if you have even if

355
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.119
<v Speaker 1>you are doing the best you can as a parent,

356
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>and it's hard sometimes, trust me, especially if you don't

357
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:10.599
<v Speaker 1>have a good support system yourself, maybe you're doing it

358
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:15.279
<v Speaker 1>on your own. But supervision, I mean that is that

359
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:17.799
<v Speaker 1>is I mean, just assuming your kids are going to

360
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 1>be on their best behavior when they're when they're out

361
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:26.519
<v Speaker 1>of school and to themselves. I mean one, maybe you're wrong.

362
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe your kids aren't in a position to where they

363
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>can they can fin for themselves, and they need somebody

364
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 1>to supervise them because if not, they're going to get

365
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 1>themselves in trouble. So I don't I don't have the

366
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.440
<v Speaker 1>perfect answer as to how you how you fix this,

367
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 1>and clearly if anybody did, we wouldn't be in this position.

368
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.720
<v Speaker 2>But it is very.

369
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Noticeable when you when you see any real violent crime

370
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that that becomes a common thing, and certainly here in

371
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.039
<v Speaker 1>Louisville we've had our share of it. But when it

372
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>involves children as much as it has recently, I mean,

373
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:58.839
<v Speaker 1>I just think that's something that stands out. I mean,

374
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't wish that we would ever see

375
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:04.079
<v Speaker 1>violent crime being part of our daily news cycle here

376
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.359
<v Speaker 1>in Kentuckyana, And and I mean I wish we weren't

377
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:09.240
<v Speaker 1>numb to it, but we are. It's not a surprise

378
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:11.480
<v Speaker 1>when you when you in ingand we're not unique. If

379
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.759
<v Speaker 1>there's other cities I'm sure that are that it's similar.

380
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not trying to act as if this is

381
00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:18.359
<v Speaker 1>the worst place ever and it only happens here.

382
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:19.160
<v Speaker 2>It happens everywhere.

383
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:24.359
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know, I'd like to believe that it's

384
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.640
<v Speaker 1>rare to see children be in being involved in it

385
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.799
<v Speaker 1>as much as we've seen around here lately. But again,

386
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the parents, that's what everybody asks, who's raising these kids,

387
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Who's responsible for them? And uh, clearly they don't have

388
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:39.119
<v Speaker 1>good role models in their life, some of them, I'm sure.

389
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.000
<v Speaker 1>And they don't have a good home to to to

390
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:43.519
<v Speaker 1>to go home to and to be taught right from wrong.

391
00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:46.319
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like that's been a thing unfortunately for generations.

392
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not new that you have parents, you

393
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 1>have you have children who don't have good parents in

394
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.000
<v Speaker 1>their home and good role models. But what is different

395
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.599
<v Speaker 1>now compared to previous generations when you didn't have it

396
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:59.000
<v Speaker 1>at this level? Because again, the data will tell you

397
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.519
<v Speaker 1>that we have a we've we've seen a real spike

398
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.559
<v Speaker 1>in in violent crime involving children. All Right, we got

399
