Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is eight oh five here Kentucky and his morning news,
coffee and company with you here on news radio eight
forty whas And we now have a special guest joining
us here in studio. It is Adam from Jefferson Animal Hospital.
Good morning, Adam, how we doing.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Naked morning? What a morning? So much going on? Thank
you for having us.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I'm happy to have you here. And first of all,
I'll start off by saying congratulations on the big expansion
among other things. I know you guys have now been
in business for quite some time, but it was earlier
this summer, not that long ago actually where you guys
had the big announcement with the seven thousand square foot
new office in medical space. How how did that all
come together and so far? How how has that great
news been received by the community.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well, it's been received very very well from the community
and support from the very beginning. It came together a
number of years ago. We needed space. We were you know,
to the gills as they say, and just had so
many patients and needed space. So, you know, how do
you expand on outer loop? You know that's where we
are forty five or four outer loop, So we were
(01:00):
very lucky to be able to acquire the property next
to us.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And when it comes to that space over there, what
what was what space did you acquire previously that was
next to it? Because I'm drawing a blank, But you're
right next door, correct the where you were?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, we're right next to and so we're basically across
from Kroger over there. Yeah, yeah, on outer loop right there,
and there was an office building right next to us,
and you know, that was really our only option and
I didn't think that was ever going to happen as
far as being available, were being available, good timing, right,
good time went well. One day we got a phone
(01:39):
call and we got into a conversation about, you know,
purchasing it, and we were able to We were able
to get it in twenty nineteen. So this is really
a six year project. And from then we had to
change the zoning. Uh it was war one to see one.
We had to combine the site, and then we had
(02:00):
to submit a plan to the city.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I'm sure there's a lot that goes into that that
most people like myself would never even think about.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And I was really lucky that the city was very supportive.
You know, I'd never built anything I watched, you know,
my family build a couple of things, but the city
was so supportive. They really they mapped it out. They said,
this is what you need to do in different terms
of different requirements. It's really like a little mini campus.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Now, nice, you mentioned your family. How did your family
get into sort of this industry, if you will. Where
clearly it's it's very much important, very needed, and for
a long long time it's been the only the only
twenty four to seven animal hospital, which of course means
that there are people who are in emergency situations and
(02:46):
when they need somewhere to go, they go see you guys.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
They do, and it's been we see cases around the
clock every single day, every single night, Nick, It's really incredible.
They come from all over the state. They come from Cincinnati,
we see a lot of cases from Etown four. We've
seen cases over the years in every single zip code
and it really started as a need for we have
twenty four hour companies in the city. We have you know,
Ford et cetera, et cetera, and you know, growing up there,
(03:12):
you can make an appointment twenty four hours a day.
There you can make an appointment at any time and
we'd see people come in off their second shift, third
shift Christmas.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I'm sure. I mean it's you know, you don't plan
for that. Emergencies aren't something you planned for, and you
guys have been able to provide a resources that. I'm
sure maybe people didn't even realize it was there at
the time because they'd never been in that situation, but
I'm sure they remember it for a variety of reasons.
One because of panic fear, what am I going to
do it's three o'clock in the morning. To oh wow,
I'm glad Try's Animal Hospital is here to help us.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, And we get so much support from the community,
so much thanks. It's really about our staff. Our staff
are incredible there there. I mean you're talking about people
who are solving emergencies in real time. I mean that's
pretty hardcore, right and absolutely at all times. And so
we have we have seventy five full time staff. We
were ranked these tenth largest women owned business by Business
First last year.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Of that seventy five staff, we've got you know, fifteen
to twenty part time. And then we've also got twelve doctors, right,
that's you know, who are in there solving emergencies. So
we're very lucky. It really is all about our staff.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That's awesome. Speaks to a good culture for sure. But
Adam of Justnam the hospital is with us here in studio.
And one thing I learned about when we worked together
last year during football season was, I guess it's just
ignorance on my part. I never thought of pets donating blood,
but it is certainly a thing, and it's it's something
people need to be more aware of. You guys have
a pet blood blood bank. It's always tough for me
(04:34):
to say, but tell us a little bit about that.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Okay, So our pet blood bank, right, it works just
like a human pet blood donation. But this started. We've
been doing this about eleven years out of a need
or we have a lot of cases with a lot
of pet blood loss, you can imagine. And we were
shipping our blood in from California, right, not the most
efficient thing. So we had our staff bring this to
us and said we could do this in house. Right,
(04:57):
we could supply our own blood. So with pet blood donation,
there are certain requirements for pets in terms of size, right,
so you know a dog must be a minimum of
fifty pounds. A cat must be a minimum of ten
pounds and at least one to seven years old, and
they have to be healthy. But canine feline blood donations
help us save lives with our procedures and our emergencies
(05:19):
that come in. And in return, the donors, the cats
and dogs, they get free wellness, free vaccines, free blood panels.
We have to make sure your pet is healthy before
they can donate blood. We cover all of that, so
it works for both sides, and it works and it
helps us save lives all the time.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And if I assume most people who are pet owners
love pets in general, and you having your pet donate
blood can help save lives of other pets, which that's
a mutually beneficial thing for everybody involved. And I know
last year you guys launched the pintes per Pausing People event.
You're going to bring it back this year in late September.
Tell us what we need to know about that for
those who maybe want to come out take part in it,
or just learn more information.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We're so lucky to do this. We're doing this with
the American Red Cross. This is the second year that
we're doing this. We're just so lucky the American Red Cross.
It's September twenty seventh at forty five oh four Outer
Loop that's our main hospital, and it's called Pines for
Paws and People, meaning it's for blood donations for people.
You can go out and you can give a blood
donation yourself. You can also bring your dog, your pet
(06:19):
and learn about pet blood donations and also sign up
for pet blood donations. And we're going to have food
trucks and different activities. But it's a learning event to
learn them about blood donation and a giving event for
people to also give blood. So we're really lucky to
do this with the American Red Cross for the second year.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I would imagine last year there were many people that thought, Okay,
I like the sound of it, but I'm moneyasy having
my pet go through the process. I'm sure this event
will put them at ease and let them know that
it's safe and obviously it goes a long way.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It helps one hundred percent, and we can answer all
your questions and our staff they have these different diagrams
and visual aids and they go through the process and
each donation can save up to two to four lives.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
That's wow.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
For us. Yeah too. I mean it's a big deal.
It really goes a long way. And so September twenty seventh,
there we go.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Petbloodbank dot Com is the website where you can get
more information. Again, it's Adam from Jefferson Animal Hospital. Appreciate
you coming in and I'm sure we'll see again soon.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Nick, I appreciate thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Congrats on all these success and the mini anniversaries. Again
forty five years as a continuous twenty four hour service
in Louisville. So congrats to you guys.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
All right, let's get an update on Trabbick and weather
coming up right here right now on WHOS Radio eight
forty whas. It was great to see Adam from Jefferson
Animal Hospital who stopped in there. And I was just
thinking during the break about the hesitancy that many pet
owners would have as far as their pet going through
the process of donating donating blood. And obviously it could
(07:48):
be you could be hesitant. But that's why that event
pins for Pauls and people in late September is one
where you can get all your questions answered and help
save the lives of pets. Again, I probably shouldn't admit
to such ignorance at times about just not knowing certain things.
But I was just a dumb sports guy and now I'm,
I guess, just a dumb guy trying to learn how
to do news talk and yes, self duprecation. It's just
(08:11):
it's it's part of me, unfortunately. But any anyways, if
you guys want more information, go to pet bloodbank dot com,
because again, that's who wouldn't want to help save the
lives of pets, And it's something that can easily be
done by giving blood having your pets donate blood. So
just just keep that in mind.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
We'll talk coming up here in about ten minutes with
Rory and Neil of NBC News because Rory he joins
us each in every day. And what we're going to
discuss is where the state of Kentucky has come in
as far as rankings in the latest the latest survey
that tells us which states are the best to live in.
And I'm assuming it's not going to be great, but
(08:50):
maybe I'll be surprised. Also, foodstamps is now considered something different.
Snap benefits is what it is, and there's been a
real push to have the those benefits adjusted to where
you no longer can use it to get things that
are not healthy for you, because since the beginning of time,
it's always been something viewed as as something that is
used to get nutritious food. Well, candy soda is that
(09:11):
stuff that's clearly not healthy. So Roriyo talk to about
talk to us about that coming up here in just
about ten minutes or so. But what I do need
to tell you about is the summertime sizzling deals that
they've got going on at Tri County Ford. It's the
Summer Sales Event. Check this out. You can enjoy zero
percent APR financing, no cash down, no payment for ninety days,
plus get a two year twenty five thousand mile maintenance
(09:33):
plan on most new forwards, or you can sit up
to twelve thousand dollars off the MSRP on the twenty
twenty four f one fifty and the twenty twenty four Expedition. Look,
when it comes to purchasing a vehicle, maybe you're somebody
that just doesn't think about going to a lot, going
to a dealership. Well, I'm telling you you'll get the
best experience throughout the process when you go see my
friends at Tri County Ford. The sales staff that has
(09:54):
worked there, they've worked there for a long long time.
Not a lot of turnover at Track any four because
it's been a family own business for a long long time.
They take care of their customers, they take care of
their employees, and they will give you a great experience
and again some great deals going on. So kick off
your summer in style at trock Hounting Forward just ten
minutes from louisll in Oldham County, Exit eighteen or five
seventy one. I cannot believe how quickly the last four
(10:17):
hours roughly have gone. But Tom flaws when you're having fun.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right, fantastic. Yesterday's show for us flew by pretty fast too.
It was pretty heated, it fun.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So Mayor Greenberg joined you guys to discuss obviously the
big story here locally still I believe when it comes
to just the situation Friday with the kidnapping home invasion,
we all know the details of it. But I want
to ask you, as somebody who is an elder to me,
I mean not an old man, but you're older than me,
when did you know of shock probation? Like when you
(10:48):
realize somebody can get sentenced to prison but yet not
serve really any of the time.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Because I remember the shot formation was exclusively I thought
in my image. You asked what my image was for
twenty years, was someone got a dy and they killed
someone or they ran somebody off the road. They don't
even remember it. They're not terrible people. It's some twenty
two year old, you know, college student, and they do
a year or two and then they shot probate him out.
(11:15):
You know. That was my experience with shock probation.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
But it's similar here because I learned of it after
a former high school teacher was sent to prison because
of being involved in a sexual relationship with a girl
that was I believe seventeen, so she wasn't actually I mean,
you know, still it's illegal. He was sentenced, but he
got shock probation, had no history criminally, and I just
(11:39):
didn't even know that was a thing at the time,
and clearly now that I'm well aware that it's a thing.
But I just this scenario where this individual Langford was
let out after again being pretty consistent at showing he's
a violent criminal. If you want to consider the mental
health issues that he suffers, whatever, fair enough I mean,
I'm not going to claim that's not real thing, but
(12:01):
that doesn't make him less dangerous to society. That was
a decision clearly made that was a wrong one. But
I just I would love to have been a fly
on the wall whenever there's a discussion going on, or
maybe it's just that judge individually deciding, yeah, this is
what's best for everybody involved, because clearly it wasn't. And
now there's a family that has been left with a
(12:21):
traumatic experience and something I can't even imagine going through.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, he held the machete to the daughter's neck while
they were doing that and said he would kill them
if he didn't get the money, ended up stabbing the mom.
It is whether he is he's a scumbag, and whether
he understands he knows he's a cycle path and doesn't
belong on the street. The system failed both of them.
(12:45):
They failed the criminal and they failed the family. They
did fail this criminal community because he should have been
kept in And the change certainly now is good, meaning
that moving forward, this exact situation would not play out.
But it also reminds you of there was a time
before this was in place, this new bill that let
(13:07):
a lot of violent people out in the community. And yeah,
I tell you what did you see? Did you happen
to see the football story with him?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
No, this is crazy. He played football at Western High
School and he ended up going to Lindsey Wilson College
in an AI school in Columbia, Kentucky and his I
don't think he stayed long. But he was on their
website on their roster and they have trivia questions to
learn about players, and one was what do you like
most about about football? And his quote was he can
(13:40):
hurt people and it's legal. That makes me You can't
make that up, right? Yeah, but is that not a
I mean again mental I'm not a.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Well Dick Bucket says that in sixty one it means
something completely different, of course, but.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
But now knowing what this I mean, like, it's hard
for That's something that was said when he was much
that it's hard for me to ever think that, like
with this hit, the life that he's lived with this
point that like he's a violent criminal and knows it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
John Channon, do you have the sound from Wave three
from the lady that he attacked in his car in
her car? Did you get that.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Sound no, we did not get anythink she's in her.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm going to say it's hard to guess women's age.
She's in her sixties, elderly black lady. She had the
hat on and the and she was dressed really nice.
And she said, well, I was at the ATM and
when my car was about to come out, he grabbed
my arm. She bit him, and when the money came
spitting out, he grabbed the money. Well, she said, I'm
(14:38):
not giving up. She revs the engine and hits him
with her car, runs him over, and then says, well,
I was put in reversion. I was going to run
him back over, and he got up and ran away.
And I said that lady is my hero.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So satisfying to hear, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Because she looks like she was on the way to
go to a Bible study. Right, she had the hat
and she looks so nice, and she was so funny.
She goes, I bit him and then I ran him
over at my car.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, whatever you gotta do, right.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
You know, whether you guys realize it or not, you both,
in statements you made here just a minute ago, gave
perfect reasons why Langford did not need shock probation. Tony,
you said, he claims he doesn't realize what he did.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, was wrong.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Nick, you said, you pointed out his mental history, uh,
and his violent issues in the past. Those two things, right,
there should have been enough to, in my opinion, negate
him from even being considered for shock probation and somebody
that needed to stay locked up for the protection of
the citizens of.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Jeff You can do the biggest advocate for rehabilitation and
still make the decision. Yes, we're not to the point
where this is safe for this individual or society.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Oh yes.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
But the Christy Miller we had on yesterday it runs
Judge dot com. She she she's a watchdog for the judges.
She said, this is unusually.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I've seen her on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, she's great, she's awesome, and she well and she
went on to say, most days, you know, nine of
the sixteen judges show up on average. But she she
even said, this is a this is an extreme case
that usually doesn't happen. But how did this happen? We
need to find out.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But when there's an extreme case, you hope that you
get lucky. And we and we didn't hear this was
this was an example of what happened to that Mike.
It's limp, I know, needs.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
To go to Yes, needs to see doctors. Yeah, go
see doctor Wood. Who'll get that mic fixed. It's just
it's doctor over there. He'll get you squared away, Grow
up doctor. What's a professional? I know my chiropractors. Kevin
dick Out is Kevin dick Out is his name. He's
on Preston Away.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I would imagine last year there were many people that thought, Okay,
I like the sound of it, but I'm moneyasy having
my pet go through the process. I'm sure this event
will put them at ease and let them know that
it's safe and obviously it goes a long way.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It helps one hundred percent, and we can answer all
your questions and our staff they have these different diagrams
and visual aids and they go through the process and
each donation can save up to two to four lives.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
That's wow.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
For us. Yeah too. I mean it's a big deal.
It really goes a long way. And so September twenty seventh,
there we go.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Petbloodbank dot Com is the website where you can get
more information. Again, it's Adam from Jefferson Animal Hospital. Appreciate
you coming in and I'm sure we'll see again soon.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Nick, I appreciate thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Congrats on all these success and the mini anniversaries. Again
forty five years as a continuous twenty four hour service
in Louisville. So congrats to you guys.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
All right, let's get an update on Trabbick and weather
coming up right here right now on WHOS Radio eight
forty whas. It was great to see Adam from Jefferson
Animal Hospital who stopped in there. And I was just
thinking during the break about the hesitancy that many pet
owners would have as far as their pet going through
the process of donating donating blood. And obviously it could
(07:48):
be you could be hesitant. But that's why that event
pins for Pauls and people in late September is one
where you can get all your questions answered and help
save the lives of pets. Again, I probably shouldn't admit
to such ignorance at times about just not knowing certain things.
But I was just a dumb sports guy and now I'm,
I guess, just a dumb guy trying to learn how
to do news talk and yes, self duprecation. It's just
(08:11):
it's it's part of me, unfortunately. But any anyways, if
you guys want more information, go to pet bloodbank dot com,
because again, that's who wouldn't want to help save the
lives of pets, And it's something that can easily be
done by giving blood having your pets donate blood. So
just just keep that in mind.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
We'll talk coming up here in about ten minutes with
Rory and Neil of NBC News because Rory he joins
us each in every day. And what we're going to
discuss is where the state of Kentucky has come in
as far as rankings in the latest the latest survey
that tells us which states are the best to live in.
And I'm assuming it's not going to be great, but
(08:50):
maybe I'll be surprised. Also, foodstamps is now considered something different.
Snap benefits is what it is, and there's been a
real push to have the those benefits adjusted to where
you no longer can use it to get things that
are not healthy for you, because since the beginning of time,
it's always been something viewed as as something that is
used to get nutritious food. Well, candy soda is that
(09:11):
stuff that's clearly not healthy. So Roriyo talk to about
talk to us about that coming up here in just
about ten minutes or so. But what I do need
to tell you about is the summertime sizzling deals that
they've got going on at Tri County Ford. It's the
Summer Sales Event. Check this out. You can enjoy zero
percent APR financing, no cash down, no payment for ninety days,
plus get a two year twenty five thousand mile maintenance
(09:33):
plan on most new forwards, or you can sit up
to twelve thousand dollars off the MSRP on the twenty
twenty four f one fifty and the twenty twenty four Expedition. Look,
when it comes to purchasing a vehicle, maybe you're somebody
that just doesn't think about going to a lot, going
to a dealership. Well, I'm telling you you'll get the
best experience throughout the process when you go see my
friends at Tri County Ford. The sales staff that has
(09:54):
worked there, they've worked there for a long long time.
Not a lot of turnover at Track any four because
it's been a family own business for a long long time.
They take care of their customers, they take care of
their employees, and they will give you a great experience
and again some great deals going on. So kick off
your summer in style at trock Hounting Forward just ten
minutes from louisll in Oldham County, Exit eighteen or five
seventy one. I cannot believe how quickly the last four
(10:17):
hours roughly have gone. But Tom flaws when you're having fun.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right, fantastic. Yesterday's show for us flew by pretty fast too.
It was pretty heated, it fun.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So Mayor Greenberg joined you guys to discuss obviously the
big story here locally still I believe when it comes
to just the situation Friday with the kidnapping home invasion,
we all know the details of it. But I want
to ask you, as somebody who is an elder to me,
I mean not an old man, but you're older than me,
when did you know of shock probation? Like when you
(10:48):
realize somebody can get sentenced to prison but yet not
serve really any of the time.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Because I remember the shot formation was exclusively I thought
in my image. You asked what my image was for
twenty years, was someone got a dy and they killed
someone or they ran somebody off the road. They don't
even remember it. They're not terrible people. It's some twenty
two year old, you know, college student, and they do
a year or two and then they shot probate him out.
(11:15):
You know. That was my experience with shock probation.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
But it's similar here because I learned of it after
a former high school teacher was sent to prison because
of being involved in a sexual relationship with a girl
that was I believe seventeen, so she wasn't actually I mean,
you know, still it's illegal. He was sentenced, but he
got shock probation, had no history criminally, and I just
(11:39):
didn't even know that was a thing at the time,
and clearly now that I'm well aware that it's a thing.
But I just this scenario where this individual Langford was
let out after again being pretty consistent at showing he's
a violent criminal. If you want to consider the mental
health issues that he suffers, whatever, fair enough I mean,
I'm not going to claim that's not real thing, but
(12:01):
that doesn't make him less dangerous to society. That was
a decision clearly made that was a wrong one. But
I just I would love to have been a fly
on the wall whenever there's a discussion going on, or
maybe it's just that judge individually deciding, yeah, this is
what's best for everybody involved, because clearly it wasn't. And
now there's a family that has been left with a
(12:21):
traumatic experience and something I can't even imagine going through.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, he held the machete to the daughter's neck while
they were doing that and said he would kill them
if he didn't get the money, ended up stabbing the mom.
It is whether he is he's a scumbag, and whether
he understands he knows he's a cycle path and doesn't
belong on the street. The system failed both of them.
(12:45):
They failed the criminal and they failed the family. They
did fail this criminal community because he should have been
kept in And the change certainly now is good, meaning
that moving forward, this exact situation would not play out.
But it also reminds you of there was a time
before this was in place, this new bill that let
(13:07):
a lot of violent people out in the community. And yeah,
I tell you what did you see? Did you happen
to see the football story with him?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
No, this is crazy. He played football at Western High
School and he ended up going to Lindsey Wilson College
in an AI school in Columbia, Kentucky and his I
don't think he stayed long. But he was on their
website on their roster and they have trivia questions to
learn about players, and one was what do you like
most about about football? And his quote was he can
(13:40):
hurt people and it's legal. That makes me You can't
make that up, right? Yeah, but is that not a
I mean again mental I'm not a.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Well Dick Bucket says that in sixty one it means
something completely different, of course, but.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
But now knowing what this I mean, like, it's hard
for That's something that was said when he was much
that it's hard for me to ever think that, like
with this hit, the life that he's lived with this
point that like he's a violent criminal and knows it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
John Channon, do you have the sound from Wave three
from the lady that he attacked in his car in
her car? Did you get that.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Sound no, we did not get anythink she's in her.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm going to say it's hard to guess women's age.
She's in her sixties, elderly black lady. She had the
hat on and the and she was dressed really nice.
And she said, well, I was at the ATM and
when my car was about to come out, he grabbed
my arm. She bit him, and when the money came
spitting out, he grabbed the money. Well, she said, I'm
(14:38):
not giving up. She revs the engine and hits him
with her car, runs him over, and then says, well,
I was put in reversion. I was going to run
him back over, and he got up and ran away.
And I said that lady is my hero.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So satisfying to hear, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Because she looks like she was on the way to
go to a Bible study. Right, she had the hat
and she looks so nice, and she was so funny.
She goes, I bit him and then I ran him
over at my car.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, whatever you gotta do, right.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
You know, whether you guys realize it or not, you both,
in statements you made here just a minute ago, gave
perfect reasons why Langford did not need shock probation. Tony,
you said, he claims he doesn't realize what he did.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, was wrong.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Nick, you said, you pointed out his mental history, uh,
and his violent issues in the past. Those two things, right,
there should have been enough to, in my opinion, negate
him from even being considered for shock probation and somebody
that needed to stay locked up for the protection of
the citizens of.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Jeff You can do the biggest advocate for rehabilitation and
still make the decision. Yes, we're not to the point
where this is safe for this individual or society.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Oh yes.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
But the Christy Miller we had on yesterday it runs
Judge dot com. She she she's a watchdog for the judges.
She said, this is unusually.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I've seen her on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, she's great, she's awesome, and she well and she
went on to say, most days, you know, nine of
the sixteen judges show up on average. But she she
even said, this is a this is an extreme case
that usually doesn't happen. But how did this happen? We
need to find out.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But when there's an extreme case, you hope that you
get lucky. And we and we didn't hear this was
this was an example of what happened to that Mike.
It's limp, I know, needs.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
To go to Yes, needs to see doctors. Yeah, go
see doctor Wood. Who'll get that mic fixed. It's just
it's doctor over there. He'll get you squared away, Grow
up doctor. What's a professional? I know my chiropractors. Kevin
dick Out is Kevin dick Out is his name. He's
on Preston Away.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Shout out to that guy, all right name, good stuff?
All right, Tony and dwid are coming your way next
right here on Who's Radio? Wait Forardy WJAS
