Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lou Penroe on News Radio six hundred Cogo. We are
live in San Diego. Thank you for tuning in. Good
to have you along with us. Thursday, the best day
of the week. The jury has reached a verdict in
the Larry Milliet Day case, and we're expecting the announcement
of the verdict at any moment. As soon as it does,
(00:21):
we will cut Lou Penrose off and go live to
the Cocoa News Center and let you know what it is.
We haven't had a who done it in a long
time here in San Diego, and everybody wants to know.
And it did not take the jury long to come
to a conclusion without a dead body. So it's gonna
be very interesting to see.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I have no I have no prediction.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I don't know. I don't know how you can convict
somebody murder without the dead I don't know. It's gonna
be a good one, all right. Hey, the street vendor
problem in the gas lamp is blowing up. We talked
about it briefly yesterday as to why the city is
in the position that it's in and.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Is back to this. Effectively, the city of San.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Diego is back to square one because they went to
the appeals court, and the appeals court said, look, you
can't take their shop, their hot dog cart, you can't
seize the property. And what they're doing is operating without
the proper documents, which means it's not criminal.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Is just as it would be the.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Same thing if they were operating and their documents were expired,
same kind of thing. And it's frustrating because everybody knows
they're never going to apply for a permit. There's no
border health overseeing all this, and people are still eating
this disgusting bacon wrapped hot dogs. I don't know what's
wrong with you. You don't know if these people are
(01:49):
washing their hands. I don't eat off street carts in
the gasland. I don't think it's consistent with our way
of life here in San Diego.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I really don't.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It does look quaint, it does look cute, and there
are areas of town where we do allow food to
be served, but right in front of restaurants. It's just
not fair. Here's newsap's Steffie Roche. She's updating us.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
San Diego forced to hault its crackdown on street vendors.
Why some have concerns with that?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, not some, all of us.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The only people that have no concerns are the people
that are illegally selling hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
So it's more than some.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Uh So. Michael Trimble is with the Gas Lamp Association.
He says, look, it's it's out of control. It's not
just some illegal hot dog vendor. It's getting out of control.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Leaders of business associations say they're frustrated by the city
moving to not crackdown on street vendors. This was triggered
by a state appeals court ruling in January that the
city was illegally impounding the carts and other property of
scufflaw vendors.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Sure or how that is that? That's an interesting judgment.
So here's what happened.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
The city said, look, if you're operating without a license,
if you're operating illegally, we're going to impound your cart
and all your stuff and cite you. And I don't
know who represents the illegal street you know, it's amazing
to me how much representation in courts that illegality has.
(03:27):
Where do these people get their money? I don't know,
or is this some kind of pro bono work. There's
the law firms out there that are in favor of
e Coli. I don't know, but they got representation. They
took it all the way to the State Court of Appeals,
and the State Court of Appeals said, uh yeah, I mean,
you can't take their stuff and you can't treat them
(03:48):
any differently than just an unlicensed street vendor, which.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That's our criminal activity.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
The court defeat, which the city chose not to appeal,
essentially returns Sandy. They go to square one.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And now we're back at square one.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And so as you can imagine, the actual businesses that
sell hot dogs and have clean restaurants and street vendors
that have that apply for permits. They're like, hey, we're
right back where we started from. So it's a legitimate bitch.
And I think that, even though it does seem quaint,
(04:27):
this is how things get out of control, and we
don't want to turn San Diego into a Moroccan bizarre
and that's what it's become, because it's not just oh
that's that guy. Yeah, he sells hot dogs or he
sells pretzels. But you know, I mean, nobody else is
around and it's not hurting anybody.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's not like that. Not only do we have the
hot dog vendors.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
But we also have anyone who comes down to set
up a ten by ten and sell whatever they want,
set up karaoke booths with nacho bars.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
And that's with Michael Trimble.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
He's like, look, you don't understand when you open the
door for the illegal hot dog guy. Now you've got
everybody and their mother down there selling all kinds of crap,
and it's all illegal. It's all illegal vending. You have
to have a permit, you have to have a license.
These are not businesses. These are people effectively turning every
(05:17):
corner into a swap meet. And it looks like hell.
And it's not healthy to not know. Well, it's certainly
not healthy to know that the vendor that you just
bought a hot dog from has no obligation to comply
with health code. That and I have seen some of
(05:38):
their setups with these pro paine tanks, with these blue
Rhino pro paine tanks, And I literally saw a guy
with a hose like the gas line was a hose.
It was broken, so he had some duct tape around it,
and the coupler was broken, and he literally had.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
A piece of wire like a coat hanger wire. And
that's what was holding it all together.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I'm like, oh, my lord, if this is the level
of safety that he allows for himself, what's he doing
to my hot.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Dog pop up restaurants every weekend? It is a free
for all in the gas lam quarter, right.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
And we don't want a free for all. It's unsightly,
you know. The gas lamp is great. I love that
area of San Diego. Everybody does. It was one of
the first places I hit when I first visited San
Diego because you hear about it, and it's got energy
and it's got.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Buzz and you feel it when you're down there.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
But we don't want to turn it into some third
world bizarre which is what it's becoming, where everything goes.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And the illegals, well, the illegal vendors. I don't know
their immigration status, but illegals work.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The illegal vendors. They find out very quickly. It's quite
amazing how we're travels that. Okay, the city lost its
case in court, and so now we can go and
roll our crap right back to our favorite corner and
not have a license and no one can do anything
(07:15):
about it.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Officers currently cannot impound vending equipment and enforcement in the
Ballpark district is restricted because most street vending violations are administrative,
not criminal. Officers also have fewer enforcement options available to them.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, not fewer none, zero. No, they can't take the car.
They nothing's criminal. I don't know how it's not criminal.
I guess they can bug them and say, hey, this
is an administrative violation, you need to go get a license,
and the guy says, okay, I'll work on.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
That on Monday and just ignore it.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They're not going to go get a license because that
you could. You could write that citation and throw it
in the trash it we'll get more action. They all
are already operating illegally and you can't take their stuff
or stop them. So what power does law enforcement have.
It's incredible to me, it really is incredible. Illegal activity
(08:18):
is standing on firmer ground.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Than us. Like law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
The good guys, the people that actually run businesses, have licenses,
comply with code, comply with health standards. We are in
worse shape than the guy operating the illegal hot dog
wrapped in baking.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Cart in the heart of the gas land. Absolutely incredible.
I say they all have to go.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I think the city an obligation now to start the
process over again and take it to a higher court
and fight the appeal. I think the city has no
other opp gation, come up with another argument to broom
these people off the streets. It's not fair. It's just
not fair. So San Diego is gonna have to step up.
(09:11):
Lou Penrose on news radio six hundred Cogo the Empire
strikes back. The empire in this one would be the
actual business owners down in the gas lamp. They are saying, look,
we're back to square one. The city is back to
square one, and we have to go back at it.
We have to begin the legal process all over again,
(09:33):
because it's they're just popping up.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
It's not fair because I pay permits, permits, rent and
they don't pay anything.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, that's one guy that is Spanish speaking, Stefi Roche
from News eight doing the translation there.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
In one part.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
For me, it's okay, nobody bothers us. If they move us,
we need to move. And for me it's okay. I
put myself in the position of the restaurant owners and
I say it's not fair for them, but we're not
doing anything bad. We're just doing this for our families.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Okay, so that's another guy that's an illegal that's an
illegal street vendor.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And I'm really growing tired of hearing this.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Excuse, we're just trying to feed our families, as if
that is such a noble thing by all means break
the law. We're all feeding our families. What kind of
answer is that?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That is such a.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Third world answer we're doing. You know, we're just feeding
our families.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I hate that. I hate when they put that in there.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We're just trying to feed our families, right, But you
have we have like here in the United States, we have.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Rules, and we have rules for good reasons. Number One,
it's really important if.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You sell food for a living that we have oversight
to make sure you're not selling poison. Because I've seen
enough Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmare episodes to know that people
will sell poison if you don't have a health inspector.
Go in there and get them a letter grade. You
see all these other restaurants with the A and the
B and the C. You know what those are. Those
are letter grades by the county Health inspector, right, And
(11:14):
you know how that county health inspector knows where they
are because they're registered and licensed to sell food, like
we have rules of the game. Those people also trying
to feed their families, So I don't want to hear
about your starving families.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
If you want to be a restaurant tour, then go
through the rules.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
You can't just sell hot dogs because your family is starving.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Love the show listeners talk about street vendors. You know,
it really isn't our culture. It's something that was brought
over here from other parts of the world. And we
actually have a really good taco store and they set
up a taco tint just on a sidewalk out in
front of it, and it took a long time, but
our police department shut it down, as they should because again,
(11:55):
like you said, there's no regulation. You know, who knows
where the food's coming from.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, all those things.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I don't know if street vendors, it's not our contemporary culture,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Uh, it's very popular in very dirty places.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Uh. There's this guy on TikTok that eats street food
and Pakistan and India and it's it's it's almost comical.
I think he does it as a joke because there's
I don't know why anybody would put any food in
their mouths in some of these countries. And then we
all know now about the Chinese wet market where they
eat bats. So I don't know if it's our culture,
(12:37):
it is part of other countries culture. Most of those
countries are third world hell holes. And so you know me,
Lou Penrose, I'm trying to keep San Diego a first
world country by keeping it a first world city and
having illegal street vendors. There's nothing first world about.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
That, Lou.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
A quick question on the hot dog vendor situation in
downtown San Diego. What happens to a restaurant who doesn't
have the right licensing to sell their food? What does
the city do to them? And why can't they do
that to the hot dog vendors as well? Secondly, if
people continue to buy this junk product on street corners,
(13:18):
then the vendors are going to be there. If the
city wants to change, people need to stop buying that
stuff so they go away. Thanks and great show.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, I think it's an excellent point.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
What happens, Well, what happens if a restaurant starts selling
beer and they don't have a loquer license, they'll get
shut down?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's what the street vendors should really do. They should
push the envelope.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
If you are an illegal hot dog wrapped in baking guy,
start selling cans of medella.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Why wouldn't you.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
So it's an excellent point, right, We off to obey
the rules and we'll get shut down if we don't.
These guys just push their cart, make their cash, pay
zero taxes, and you know around the merry go round
we got. Oh, it is just amazing to me how
how terror firma their situation is in San Diego.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That's a little Latin for you. How on such solid.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Ground they are.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They go, you know what, I'm gonna sell these hot
dogs and I'm not going to pay a diamond taxes.
I'm not gonna pay for a license, and there's nothing
you can do about it. And for the restaurant, the
restaurant that's behind me that I'm stealing business from, go
play in traffic.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
When you just opened up lawsuits for these little street vendors,
you get sick.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Assume now, well that's an interesting strategy. And you see
I can tell you're an honest man.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
See that the problem is you and I think like
honest law abouting citizens.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So right, yeah, you know what if he gets me
sick because he's an unlicensed food vendor, I'm gonna assume.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Okay, you get sick, a terrible case of e COLI,
missed five days of work. So you get a judgment
for your doctor bills, the prescription drugs, pain and stuff,
and your lost wages. You go find the hot dog
guy and you say you owe me. Here's the judgment.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
How are you gonna collect? What are you gonna do? Garnishes, wages?
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So you didn't think about that because you're an not
a s guy and you never faced with that situation.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Like these people traffic in illegality. What do they care
if the hot.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Dogs were sitting unrefrigerated for four days? What do they
care if they took the hot dog buns out of
the trash bin outside the food pantry because they were
out of date and change the date on the le, Like,
you know, it's very chancy to be eating.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Any of this crap.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I wouldn't be doing it, not from an unlicensed street vendor.
And frankly, even where they are allowed to be, like
outside rodeos and fairs and stuff like that. I would
still rather do business with the guy that is paying
rent and has at least to cover. So I don't
find a quaint. I don't find it first world, I
(16:09):
don't find it clean. And now it's a real problem
because they have carpe Blosch to turn all the gas
lamp into some souk.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You remember that line from Sex and the City too.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Louke Penrose on news Radio six hundred co Go, we
are awaiting the announcement of the verdict. A verdict has
been reached by the jury in the Larry Millette murder trial,
and as soon as it is announced, we will break
in and give it to you live right now. Talking
about back to square one the city is with these
(16:43):
illegal street vendors.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Officers currently cannot impound vending equipment, and enforcement in the
Ballpark district is restricted because most street vending violations are administrative,
not criminal. Officers also have fewer enforcement options available to them.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, that does not sound good to me.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Ves.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
As for all the good foods that I know, they're
not help regulated, but the bottom line is they got
too good. Well, the bottom line is you're supporting illegal activity.
But I understand we do have word or we're getting
word about the verdict. Can I talk toss it over
to Jack Ronan and the Coco New Center. Okay, not yet,
(17:24):
All right, back to your calls.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I've had a small business where I've had to deal
with all the red tape and everything, and it's a
pain in the ass. And then on top of it,
I thank god I didn't have a restaurant. But if
you do, this guy comes and pulls up, this you
know guy or gap pulls up and then they set
up right in front of your shop.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
That's not really cool.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
I mean, you know, I got to pay for all
this stuff, have to be inspected, do whatever?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Follow the law?
Speaker 8 (17:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Not really fair.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
No, it's it's not really fair. It's completely unfair.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
Lou So in Hillcrest, there's a trailer that pulls up
at night about ten o'clock and they unload I think
maybe eight to ten taco hot dog carts whatever they're doing.
These guys stain the sidewalk because they just let their
grease and stuff just fall on the ground. They don't
pick it up, they don't clean it up. I can't
(18:14):
wait till it rains. That's gonna be a slippery mess.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Now, it's a complete mess.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
And that doesn't take into account the damage that's done
to the sidewalk, nor does it take into account the
public safety concerns with these ridiculous mcgyverird propane tank situations
that I see.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It's all wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It looks like third world, because it is third world.
This is what they do in the third world. All
let's go live now to Phil Ferrara in the Coco
New Center.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
All right, we are finding out that the jury has
indeed reached a verdict in the Larry Milliette murder trial.
He is guilty guilty, And what we're trying to find
out here is what he is guilty of, because there
are four different things he could have been guilty of,
(19:08):
including first degree murder, second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, or
involuntary manslaughter.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
So this is what we need to know. And I'm
going to be getting count one, which is first degree murder.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
So that requires the jury to find the killing was intentional, premeditated,
and planned in advance. The seven woman, five man jury
finding forty four year old Larry Miliette guilty of first
degree murder has been two thousand and nine days since
his wife Maya Miliette's body has.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Been not found.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
This began as a first degree murder case, but just
three days ago, right before closing arguments, the judge allowed
jurors to consider lesser charges.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Prosecutors conceded to jurors that.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
They could not specifically say how Maya Miliete died, but
argued only one person had the means and the motive
to kill her, and that was Larry Miliete. She was
last seen January seventh, twenty twenty one. Prosecutors profusely disagreed
with those lesser charges that the judge presented to the
(20:21):
jury to consider. Jurors received the case yesterday afternoon and
deliberated for an hour. Then they came back this morning
to deliberate at nine o'clock, and by two pm they
had a.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Verdict just five hours of deliberation.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Prosecutors say Larry killed his wife in their home because
she sought a divorce, that loaded her body into an
suv and disposed of her on January eighth, during a
period of about twelve hours in which his whereabouts were
actually unknown. The prosecution's case focused largely on what was
described as Larry's possessive and controlling behavior, which they say
(21:00):
included regularly tracking Maya's whereabouts, controlling her finances, and ultimately
soliciting the assistance of spellcasters he believed could magically influence
Maya to give up her plans for divorce.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Now, the defense that, in.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
Closing arguments, Larry's behavior was colored by Maya's ongoing affair
with a co worker, and that his conduct was seen
being classified as stalking, was actually Larry conducting a tragic
investigation in which he was trying to confirm whether Maya
was cheating. So you may be wondering how do you
(21:37):
convict someone without a body. Well, the national conviction rates
and nobody trials are about eighty six percent.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
This high success.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Rate usually because because prosecutors only bring extremely strong cases
to the trial, and they relied heavily on overwhelming, circumstantial
and digital evidence to prove that this death. So, once again,
Larry Miliette found guilty of first degree murder killing his wife,
(22:08):
Maya Miliette. This is an automatic appeal, so this case
will be appealed.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Next up is sentencing.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
Larry Ameliette could spend twenty five years or the rest
of his life in prison, so.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You mentioned the first degree guilty in the first degree
means premeditation, and the jury reached the conclusion that Larry
was the only one with the motive, And how that
seems the part of the appeal that's where.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I would go, Well, it's an automatic appeal. It's an
automatical appeal.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yes, But I mean, if I'm gonna argue the appeal,
how can you reach the conclusion that he's the only
one with a motive.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Well, once again, the prosecution they stuck by this. They
did not even want second degree voluntary or involuntary. They
didn't think there was anyone else. During an interview their
Emailiette said there were other ways to exit that house,
but they had surveillance video. They never saw her come
(23:17):
out of that house. They never ever saw her come
out of that house. The only thing they saw was
an suv, a black suv leave late. He was gone
for twelve hours. So what they used, once again was
circumstantive and digital evidence to convict him.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You said that according to the.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Authorities and agencies that calculate these things, the percentage of
convictions of murder where there is not a body is
eighty six percent. I was surprised to hear that because
that's always been my contention that if there's nobody, they're
going to have a hard time. The prosecution, as you said,
has been sticking with this. Murder in the first degree
(24:05):
is what they were gunning for, and they got it.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
Yeah, they didn't want anything lesser. And as a matter
of fact, if he would have been found not guilty,
they were ready to come back and go in a
different direction and course and have this case retried.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And you can't.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
So the sentence, the sentencing is next and it'll be
interesting now to see what sentenced the judge with with
the judge decides on. And then it is it's an
immediate appeal because of the of the category.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
Of the immediate immediate appeal because of his first degree murder.
You can bet your bottom dollar that the defense stood
up in court and said we want to appeal this case.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
And that happens. But it's immedia.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
I mean, it's immediate, and it's it's it's just it's
California law.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It's it's automatically appealed.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
And then he he will come back to court and
he will be sentenced, and that could be anywhere from
twenty five years to the rest of his life that
he could spend in prison.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Absolutely fascinating, absolutely fascinating. We will see what the reaction
is from.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Everybody. I mean, there's so many people that have had
their eyes on this.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
This has been one of those cases that is rare
in San Diego, but nevertheless it was one that everybody
was invested in.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
And there you have it, a.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Murder in the first degree decision by a jury in
the Larry Miliete trial. All right, let's take a break
and when we come back, we'll go more into this.
Repeating our top story. The verdict is in in the
Larry Malyette murder trial and it is guilty of murder.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
In the first degree.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Will update you on all the details coming up in
just ten minutes from the Cogo News Center. But guilty
in the first degree for Larry Maliette. Wowsa Hey, Bonnie
Tyler died and everybody remembers that song.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
Well.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Eclipse of the Heart made her the first Welsh person
to top the charts in the US. Another eighties hit
was originally recorded for the film Footloose.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, that was a good one. That was a real
driving one, but total Eclipse of the Heart. That's the
one that's haunting, right. I never was a big fan
of that song because.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
She seemed crazy to me. I was in my dating
crazy phase.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I spent far too many years dating crazy, which is
why I recommend you, if you're a single man, avoid crazy.
I know crazy sounds fun, but it ain't worth it,
and never ever ever bring crazy home. And the lyrics
if you listen to the song, there was a crazy woman, right,
(27:12):
so that's very romantic.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Just hold me tight.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
But then, as as always the case, after the solo
in the reprise at the end of the song is
when she goes nuts.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That's that raspy sound that she's famous for, but it
just sounds like a maniacal girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
That's the line that got me.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
and I'm thinking that doesn't sound good. It was around
the same time. Wasn't like Lorena Bobbitt around that time.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
There was just a just a crazy energy to that
song that scared me.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, no, you're not alone there.
Speaker 10 (28:05):
You listen to that and she sounds obsessed with whoever
she's singing about.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Right, and you know you need you better come tonight forever.
It's gonna start tonight, which to me sounds like she's
gonna murder him, like you're gonna be dead. It had
Glenn Close vibes yes from Fatal Attraction.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Absolutely right with that, with the just screaming you know
I need you tonight.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I heard that, and I heard that raspy voice because
it wasn't raspy in the first half of the song,
and I'm like, this chick's cray.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And then contrast it with Glenn Close.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
I just want to be a part of your life. Oh,
this is the way you do it?
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Show up?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
You want to answer my calls?
Speaker 10 (28:53):
You change your number?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I mean, I'm not going to be ignored.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Dan Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Do you remember the chills you got in the theater
when Glenn Close the character was Alex and.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I Am not going to be ignored.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
It was.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I mean, I got chills. Every man did, like do
that is it?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
That's it. That is the biggest fear in the world.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Do never step out on your girl, Do not cheat
on your wife, never ever ever, because that's what the
that's what the woman's scorn becomes. I am not going
to be ignored, And the whole tone of the movie switched,
and now you were terrified of this woman, and so
(29:41):
is every other character.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Douglas. I mean, everybody was terrified because they're crazy.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
I've always wondered if Infidelity went down after people saw
that movie. With popularity of that movie, I always wondered
if guys decided to you know, it had heat.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It had to because Glenn Close played the ultimate Dallien's character, right,
the ultimate indiscretion ultimate, She's sexy, she's uh, no strings attached,
and then I Am not going to be ignored.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
It was an.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Unbelievable line and it's haunting and uh, basically Bonnie Tyler
sang it in that song and it gives me the creeps,
which is why I think it's such an important song, uh,
and why it's has so much lasting about all right,
Rest in peace, Bonnie Tyler
Lou Penroe on News Radio six hundred Cogo. We are
live in San Diego. Thank you for tuning in. Good
to have you along with us. Thursday, the best day
of the week. The jury has reached a verdict in
the Larry Milliet Day case, and we're expecting the announcement
of the verdict at any moment. As soon as it does,
(00:21):
we will cut Lou Penrose off and go live to
the Cocoa News Center and let you know what it is.
We haven't had a who done it in a long
time here in San Diego, and everybody wants to know.
And it did not take the jury long to come
to a conclusion without a dead body. So it's gonna
be very interesting to see.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I have no I have no prediction.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I don't know. I don't know how you can convict
somebody murder without the dead I don't know. It's gonna
be a good one, all right. Hey, the street vendor
problem in the gas lamp is blowing up. We talked
about it briefly yesterday as to why the city is
in the position that it's in and.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Is back to this. Effectively, the city of San.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Diego is back to square one because they went to
the appeals court, and the appeals court said, look, you
can't take their shop, their hot dog cart, you can't
seize the property. And what they're doing is operating without
the proper documents, which means it's not criminal.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Is just as it would be the.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Same thing if they were operating and their documents were expired,
same kind of thing. And it's frustrating because everybody knows
they're never going to apply for a permit. There's no
border health overseeing all this, and people are still eating
this disgusting bacon wrapped hot dogs. I don't know what's
wrong with you. You don't know if these people are
(01:49):
washing their hands. I don't eat off street carts in
the gasland. I don't think it's consistent with our way
of life here in San Diego.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I really don't.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It does look quaint, it does look cute, and there
are areas of town where we do allow food to
be served, but right in front of restaurants. It's just
not fair. Here's newsap's Steffie Roche. She's updating us.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
San Diego forced to hault its crackdown on street vendors.
Why some have concerns with that?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, not some, all of us.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The only people that have no concerns are the people
that are illegally selling hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
So it's more than some.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Uh So. Michael Trimble is with the Gas Lamp Association.
He says, look, it's it's out of control. It's not
just some illegal hot dog vendor. It's getting out of control.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Leaders of business associations say they're frustrated by the city
moving to not crackdown on street vendors. This was triggered
by a state appeals court ruling in January that the
city was illegally impounding the carts and other property of
scufflaw vendors.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Sure or how that is that? That's an interesting judgment.
So here's what happened.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
The city said, look, if you're operating without a license,
if you're operating illegally, we're going to impound your cart
and all your stuff and cite you. And I don't
know who represents the illegal street you know, it's amazing
to me how much representation in courts that illegality has.
(03:27):
Where do these people get their money? I don't know,
or is this some kind of pro bono work. There's
the law firms out there that are in favor of
e Coli. I don't know, but they got representation. They
took it all the way to the State Court of Appeals,
and the State Court of Appeals said, uh yeah, I mean,
you can't take their stuff and you can't treat them
(03:48):
any differently than just an unlicensed street vendor, which.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That's our criminal activity.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
The court defeat, which the city chose not to appeal,
essentially returns Sandy. They go to square one.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
And now we're back at square one.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And so as you can imagine, the actual businesses that
sell hot dogs and have clean restaurants and street vendors
that have that apply for permits. They're like, hey, we're
right back where we started from. So it's a legitimate bitch.
And I think that, even though it does seem quaint,
(04:27):
this is how things get out of control, and we
don't want to turn San Diego into a Moroccan bizarre
and that's what it's become, because it's not just oh
that's that guy. Yeah, he sells hot dogs or he
sells pretzels. But you know, I mean, nobody else is
around and it's not hurting anybody.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's not like that. Not only do we have the
hot dog vendors.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
But we also have anyone who comes down to set
up a ten by ten and sell whatever they want,
set up karaoke booths with nacho bars.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
And that's with Michael Trimble.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
He's like, look, you don't understand when you open the
door for the illegal hot dog guy. Now you've got
everybody and their mother down there selling all kinds of crap,
and it's all illegal. It's all illegal vending. You have
to have a permit, you have to have a license.
These are not businesses. These are people effectively turning every
(05:17):
corner into a swap meet. And it looks like hell.
And it's not healthy to not know. Well, it's certainly
not healthy to know that the vendor that you just
bought a hot dog from has no obligation to comply
with health code. That and I have seen some of
(05:38):
their setups with these pro paine tanks, with these blue
Rhino pro paine tanks, And I literally saw a guy
with a hose like the gas line was a hose.
It was broken, so he had some duct tape around it,
and the coupler was broken, and he literally had.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
A piece of wire like a coat hanger wire. And
that's what was holding it all together.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I'm like, oh, my lord, if this is the level
of safety that he allows for himself, what's he doing
to my hot.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Dog pop up restaurants every weekend? It is a free
for all in the gas lam quarter, right.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
And we don't want a free for all. It's unsightly,
you know. The gas lamp is great. I love that
area of San Diego. Everybody does. It was one of
the first places I hit when I first visited San
Diego because you hear about it, and it's got energy
and it's got.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Buzz and you feel it when you're down there.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
But we don't want to turn it into some third
world bizarre which is what it's becoming, where everything goes.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And the illegals, well, the illegal vendors. I don't know
their immigration status, but illegals work.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The illegal vendors. They find out very quickly. It's quite
amazing how we're travels that. Okay, the city lost its
case in court, and so now we can go and
roll our crap right back to our favorite corner and
not have a license and no one can do anything
(07:15):
about it.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Officers currently cannot impound vending equipment and enforcement in the
Ballpark district is restricted because most street vending violations are administrative,
not criminal. Officers also have fewer enforcement options available to them.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, not fewer none, zero. No, they can't take the car.
They nothing's criminal. I don't know how it's not criminal.
I guess they can bug them and say, hey, this
is an administrative violation, you need to go get a license,
and the guy says, okay, I'll work on.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
That on Monday and just ignore it.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
They're not going to go get a license because that
you could. You could write that citation and throw it
in the trash it we'll get more action. They all
are already operating illegally and you can't take their stuff
or stop them. So what power does law enforcement have.
It's incredible to me, it really is incredible. Illegal activity
(08:18):
is standing on firmer ground.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Than us. Like law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
The good guys, the people that actually run businesses, have licenses,
comply with code, comply with health standards. We are in
worse shape than the guy operating the illegal hot dog
wrapped in baking.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Cart in the heart of the gas land. Absolutely incredible.
I say they all have to go.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I think the city an obligation now to start the
process over again and take it to a higher court
and fight the appeal. I think the city has no
other opp gation, come up with another argument to broom
these people off the streets. It's not fair. It's just
not fair. So San Diego is gonna have to step up.
(09:11):
Lou Penrose on news radio six hundred Cogo the Empire
strikes back. The empire in this one would be the
actual business owners down in the gas lamp. They are saying, look,
we're back to square one. The city is back to
square one, and we have to go back at it.
We have to begin the legal process all over again,
(09:33):
because it's they're just popping up.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
It's not fair because I pay permits, permits, rent and
they don't pay anything.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, that's one guy that is Spanish speaking, Stefi Roche
from News eight doing the translation there.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
In one part.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
For me, it's okay, nobody bothers us. If they move us,
we need to move. And for me it's okay. I
put myself in the position of the restaurant owners and
I say it's not fair for them, but we're not
doing anything bad. We're just doing this for our families.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Okay, so that's another guy that's an illegal that's an
illegal street vendor.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
And I'm really growing tired of hearing this.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Excuse, we're just trying to feed our families, as if
that is such a noble thing by all means break
the law. We're all feeding our families. What kind of
answer is that?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That is such a.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Third world answer we're doing. You know, we're just feeding
our families.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I hate that. I hate when they put that in there.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We're just trying to feed our families, right, But you
have we have like here in the United States, we have.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Rules, and we have rules for good reasons. Number One,
it's really important if.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You sell food for a living that we have oversight
to make sure you're not selling poison. Because I've seen
enough Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmare episodes to know that people
will sell poison if you don't have a health inspector.
Go in there and get them a letter grade. You
see all these other restaurants with the A and the
B and the C. You know what those are. Those
are letter grades by the county Health inspector, right, And
(11:14):
you know how that county health inspector knows where they
are because they're registered and licensed to sell food, like
we have rules of the game. Those people also trying
to feed their families, So I don't want to hear
about your starving families.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
If you want to be a restaurant tour, then go
through the rules.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
You can't just sell hot dogs because your family is starving.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Love the show listeners talk about street vendors. You know,
it really isn't our culture. It's something that was brought
over here from other parts of the world. And we
actually have a really good taco store and they set
up a taco tint just on a sidewalk out in
front of it, and it took a long time, but
our police department shut it down, as they should because again,
(11:55):
like you said, there's no regulation. You know, who knows
where the food's coming from.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, all those things.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I don't know if street vendors, it's not our contemporary culture,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Uh, it's very popular in very dirty places.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Uh. There's this guy on TikTok that eats street food
and Pakistan and India and it's it's it's almost comical.
I think he does it as a joke because there's
I don't know why anybody would put any food in
their mouths in some of these countries. And then we
all know now about the Chinese wet market where they
eat bats. So I don't know if it's our culture,
(12:37):
it is part of other countries culture. Most of those
countries are third world hell holes. And so you know me,
Lou Penrose, I'm trying to keep San Diego a first
world country by keeping it a first world city and
having illegal street vendors. There's nothing first world about.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
That, Lou.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
A quick question on the hot dog vendor situation in
downtown San Diego. What happens to a restaurant who doesn't
have the right licensing to sell their food? What does
the city do to them? And why can't they do
that to the hot dog vendors as well? Secondly, if
people continue to buy this junk product on street corners,
(13:18):
then the vendors are going to be there. If the
city wants to change, people need to stop buying that
stuff so they go away. Thanks and great show.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, I think it's an excellent point.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
What happens, Well, what happens if a restaurant starts selling
beer and they don't have a loquer license, they'll get
shut down?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's what the street vendors should really do. They should
push the envelope.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
If you are an illegal hot dog wrapped in baking guy,
start selling cans of medella.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Why wouldn't you.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
So it's an excellent point, right, We off to obey
the rules and we'll get shut down if we don't.
These guys just push their cart, make their cash, pay
zero taxes, and you know around the merry go round
we got. Oh, it is just amazing to me how
how terror firma their situation is in San Diego.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
That's a little Latin for you. How on such solid.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Ground they are.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They go, you know what, I'm gonna sell these hot
dogs and I'm not going to pay a diamond taxes.
I'm not gonna pay for a license, and there's nothing
you can do about it. And for the restaurant, the
restaurant that's behind me that I'm stealing business from, go
play in traffic.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
When you just opened up lawsuits for these little street vendors,
you get sick.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Assume now, well that's an interesting strategy. And you see
I can tell you're an honest man.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
See that the problem is you and I think like
honest law abouting citizens.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
So right, yeah, you know what if he gets me
sick because he's an unlicensed food vendor, I'm gonna assume.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Okay, you get sick, a terrible case of e COLI,
missed five days of work. So you get a judgment
for your doctor bills, the prescription drugs, pain and stuff,
and your lost wages. You go find the hot dog
guy and you say you owe me. Here's the judgment.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
How are you gonna collect? What are you gonna do? Garnishes, wages?
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So you didn't think about that because you're an not
a s guy and you never faced with that situation.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Like these people traffic in illegality. What do they care
if the hot.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Dogs were sitting unrefrigerated for four days? What do they
care if they took the hot dog buns out of
the trash bin outside the food pantry because they were
out of date and change the date on the le, Like,
you know, it's very chancy to be eating.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Any of this crap.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I wouldn't be doing it, not from an unlicensed street vendor.
And frankly, even where they are allowed to be, like
outside rodeos and fairs and stuff like that. I would
still rather do business with the guy that is paying
rent and has at least to cover. So I don't
find a quaint. I don't find it first world, I
(16:09):
don't find it clean. And now it's a real problem
because they have carpe Blosch to turn all the gas
lamp into some souk.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You remember that line from Sex and the City too.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Louke Penrose on news Radio six hundred co Go, we
are awaiting the announcement of the verdict. A verdict has
been reached by the jury in the Larry Millette murder trial,
and as soon as it is announced, we will break
in and give it to you live right now. Talking
about back to square one the city is with these
(16:43):
illegal street vendors.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Officers currently cannot impound vending equipment, and enforcement in the
Ballpark district is restricted because most street vending violations are administrative,
not criminal. Officers also have fewer enforcement options available to them.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, that does not sound good to me.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Ves.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
As for all the good foods that I know, they're
not help regulated, but the bottom line is they got
too good. Well, the bottom line is you're supporting illegal activity.
But I understand we do have word or we're getting
word about the verdict. Can I talk toss it over
to Jack Ronan and the Coco New Center. Okay, not yet,
(17:24):
All right, back to your calls.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I've had a small business where I've had to deal
with all the red tape and everything, and it's a
pain in the ass. And then on top of it,
I thank god I didn't have a restaurant. But if
you do, this guy comes and pulls up, this you
know guy or gap pulls up and then they set
up right in front of your shop.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
That's not really cool.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
I mean, you know, I got to pay for all
this stuff, have to be inspected, do whatever?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Follow the law?
Speaker 8 (17:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Not really fair.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
No, it's it's not really fair. It's completely unfair.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
Lou So in Hillcrest, there's a trailer that pulls up
at night about ten o'clock and they unload I think
maybe eight to ten taco hot dog carts whatever they're doing.
These guys stain the sidewalk because they just let their
grease and stuff just fall on the ground. They don't
pick it up, they don't clean it up. I can't
(18:14):
wait till it rains. That's gonna be a slippery mess.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Now, it's a complete mess.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
And that doesn't take into account the damage that's done
to the sidewalk, nor does it take into account the
public safety concerns with these ridiculous mcgyverird propane tank situations
that I see.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It's all wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It looks like third world, because it is third world.
This is what they do in the third world. All
let's go live now to Phil Ferrara in the Coco
New Center.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
All right, we are finding out that the jury has
indeed reached a verdict in the Larry Milliette murder trial.
He is guilty guilty, And what we're trying to find
out here is what he is guilty of, because there
are four different things he could have been guilty of,
(19:08):
including first degree murder, second degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, or
involuntary manslaughter.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
So this is what we need to know. And I'm
going to be getting count one, which is first degree murder.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
So that requires the jury to find the killing was intentional, premeditated,
and planned in advance. The seven woman, five man jury
finding forty four year old Larry Miliette guilty of first
degree murder has been two thousand and nine days since
his wife Maya Miliette's body has.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Been not found.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
This began as a first degree murder case, but just
three days ago, right before closing arguments, the judge allowed
jurors to consider lesser charges.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Prosecutors conceded to jurors that.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
They could not specifically say how Maya Miliete died, but
argued only one person had the means and the motive
to kill her, and that was Larry Miliete. She was
last seen January seventh, twenty twenty one. Prosecutors profusely disagreed
with those lesser charges that the judge presented to the
(20:21):
jury to consider. Jurors received the case yesterday afternoon and
deliberated for an hour. Then they came back this morning
to deliberate at nine o'clock, and by two pm they
had a.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Verdict just five hours of deliberation.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Prosecutors say Larry killed his wife in their home because
she sought a divorce, that loaded her body into an
suv and disposed of her on January eighth, during a
period of about twelve hours in which his whereabouts were
actually unknown. The prosecution's case focused largely on what was
described as Larry's possessive and controlling behavior, which they say
(21:00):
included regularly tracking Maya's whereabouts, controlling her finances, and ultimately
soliciting the assistance of spellcasters he believed could magically influence
Maya to give up her plans for divorce.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Now, the defense that, in.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
Closing arguments, Larry's behavior was colored by Maya's ongoing affair
with a co worker, and that his conduct was seen
being classified as stalking, was actually Larry conducting a tragic
investigation in which he was trying to confirm whether Maya
was cheating. So you may be wondering how do you
(21:37):
convict someone without a body. Well, the national conviction rates
and nobody trials are about eighty six percent.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
This high success.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
Rate usually because because prosecutors only bring extremely strong cases
to the trial, and they relied heavily on overwhelming, circumstantial
and digital evidence to prove that this death. So, once again,
Larry Miliette found guilty of first degree murder killing his wife,
(22:08):
Maya Miliette. This is an automatic appeal, so this case
will be appealed.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Next up is sentencing.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
Larry Ameliette could spend twenty five years or the rest
of his life in prison, so.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Let me ask you.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You mentioned the first degree guilty in the first degree
means premeditation, and the jury reached the conclusion that Larry
was the only one with the motive, And how that
seems the part of the appeal that's where.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I would go, Well, it's an automatic appeal. It's an
automatical appeal.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yes, But I mean, if I'm gonna argue the appeal,
how can you reach the conclusion that he's the only
one with a motive.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Well, once again, the prosecution they stuck by this. They
did not even want second degree voluntary or involuntary. They
didn't think there was anyone else. During an interview their
Emailiette said there were other ways to exit that house,
but they had surveillance video. They never saw her come
(23:17):
out of that house. They never ever saw her come
out of that house. The only thing they saw was
an suv, a black suv leave late. He was gone
for twelve hours. So what they used, once again was
circumstantive and digital evidence to convict him.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You said that according to the.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Authorities and agencies that calculate these things, the percentage of
convictions of murder where there is not a body is
eighty six percent. I was surprised to hear that because
that's always been my contention that if there's nobody, they're
going to have a hard time. The prosecution, as you said,
has been sticking with this. Murder in the first degree
(24:05):
is what they were gunning for, and they got it.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
Yeah, they didn't want anything lesser. And as a matter
of fact, if he would have been found not guilty,
they were ready to come back and go in a
different direction and course and have this case retried.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And you can't.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
So the sentence, the sentencing is next and it'll be
interesting now to see what sentenced the judge with with
the judge decides on. And then it is it's an
immediate appeal because of the of the category.
Speaker 9 (24:38):
Of the immediate immediate appeal because of his first degree murder.
You can bet your bottom dollar that the defense stood
up in court and said we want to appeal this case.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
And that happens. But it's immedia.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
I mean, it's immediate, and it's it's it's just it's
California law.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
It's it's automatically appealed.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
And then he he will come back to court and
he will be sentenced, and that could be anywhere from
twenty five years to the rest of his life that
he could spend in prison.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Absolutely fascinating, absolutely fascinating. We will see what the reaction
is from.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Everybody. I mean, there's so many people that have had
their eyes on this.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
This has been one of those cases that is rare
in San Diego, but nevertheless it was one that everybody
was invested in.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
And there you have it, a.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Murder in the first degree decision by a jury in
the Larry Miliete trial. All right, let's take a break
and when we come back, we'll go more into this.
Repeating our top story. The verdict is in in the
Larry Malyette murder trial and it is guilty of murder.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
In the first degree.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Will update you on all the details coming up in
just ten minutes from the Cogo News Center. But guilty
in the first degree for Larry Maliette. Wowsa Hey, Bonnie
Tyler died and everybody remembers that song.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
Well.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Eclipse of the Heart made her the first Welsh person
to top the charts in the US. Another eighties hit
was originally recorded for the film Footloose.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, that was a good one. That was a real
driving one, but total Eclipse of the Heart. That's the
one that's haunting, right. I never was a big fan
of that song because.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
She seemed crazy to me. I was in my dating
crazy phase.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I spent far too many years dating crazy, which is
why I recommend you, if you're a single man, avoid crazy.
I know crazy sounds fun, but it ain't worth it,
and never ever ever bring crazy home. And the lyrics
if you listen to the song, there was a crazy woman, right,
(27:12):
so that's very romantic.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Just hold me tight.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
But then, as as always the case, after the solo
in the reprise at the end of the song is
when she goes nuts.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That's that raspy sound that she's famous for, but it
just sounds like a maniacal girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
That's the line that got me.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
and I'm thinking that doesn't sound good. It was around
the same time. Wasn't like Lorena Bobbitt around that time.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
There was just a just a crazy energy to that
song that scared me.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, no, you're not alone there.
Speaker 10 (28:05):
You listen to that and she sounds obsessed with whoever
she's singing about.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Right, and you know you need you better come tonight forever.
It's gonna start tonight, which to me sounds like she's
gonna murder him, like you're gonna be dead. It had
Glenn Close vibes yes from Fatal Attraction.
Speaker 11 (28:24):
Absolutely right with that, with the just screaming you know
I need you tonight.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I heard that, and I heard that raspy voice because
it wasn't raspy in the first half of the song,
and I'm like, this chick's cray.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And then contrast it with Glenn Close.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
I just want to be a part of your life. Oh,
this is the way you do it?
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Show up?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
You want to answer my calls?
Speaker 10 (28:53):
You change your number?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I mean, I'm not going to be ignored.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Dan Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Do you remember the chills you got in the theater
when Glenn Close the character was Alex and.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I Am not going to be ignored.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
It was.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I mean, I got chills. Every man did, like do
that is it?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
That's it. That is the biggest fear in the world.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Do never step out on your girl, Do not cheat
on your wife, never ever ever, because that's what the
that's what the woman's scorn becomes. I am not going
to be ignored, And the whole tone of the movie switched,
and now you were terrified of this woman, and so
(29:41):
is every other character.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Douglas. I mean, everybody was terrified because they're crazy.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
I've always wondered if Infidelity went down after people saw
that movie. With popularity of that movie, I always wondered
if guys decided to you know, it had heat.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It had to because Glenn Close played the ultimate Dallien's character, right,
the ultimate indiscretion ultimate, She's sexy, she's uh, no strings attached,
and then I Am not going to be ignored.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
It was an.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Unbelievable line and it's haunting and uh, basically Bonnie Tyler
sang it in that song and it gives me the creeps,
which is why I think it's such an important song, uh,
and why it's has so much lasting about all right,
Rest in peace, Bonnie Tyler
