Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media, Good morning, I'm read Carter. Thursday, October ninth,
twenty twenty five. Today on Celebrity Trials, Mark Sanchez's parking
space brawl just got significantly worse. Marion County Prosecutor Ryan
Mears revealed charges could be upgraded from a level five

(00:26):
to a level three felony that's sixteen years maximum. Fox
insiders confirm what everyone already knew. His career is over.
Diddy is asking President Trump for a pardon. Trump confirmed
did he made the request, calling him puff Daddy, but
wouldn't say if he'll grant it. Meanwhile, Ditty's lawyers want

(00:46):
him sent to a New Jersey prison with a drug
treatment program. In Cleveland, witnesses in the Baianka Ellis trial
testified that after stabbing three year old Julian Wood to death,
Ellis walked away calmly like she was walking in the
park swinging the bloody knife. One witness said she had
a smile on her face. And in Wisconsin, Taylor's shab
business is back in court. The woman who strangled her

(01:09):
boyfriend during sex, decapitated him, dismembered his body, performed necrophilia
for hours, and left his head in a bucket for
his mother to find. Is now facing new charges for
attacking a prison guard with a metal tray. Welcome to Thursday,
where parking disputes escalate to sixteen year sentences, convicted rappers
beg presidents for pardons, and women who decapitate their lovers

(01:33):
can't stop attacking people even in maximum security prison. This
is celebrity trials. Mark Sanchez's legal problems are getting worse,
much worse. Tuesday, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears revealed to
News Nation that Sanchez could face even more serious charges

(01:55):
than the level five felony battery he's currently charged with.
The charge could be upgraded to a level three felony
if prosecutors can prove Perry Toll suffered permanent or protracted
loss from his injuries. Level five felony carries one to
six years. Level three felony carries three to sixteen years.
That's the difference between a bad mistake and a life

(02:17):
altering prison sentence. Mears explained, You're looking for a health
care provider, a doctor in particular, to be able to
provide that diagnosis and say what's the long term impact
of these injuries and how is that going to impact
the victim. So those are our conversations we'll have with
the treating physicians, the doctors involved with this case that

(02:37):
will help us make that ultimate charging decision. Prosecutors are
waiting for doctors to confirm the extent of Perry Toll's injuries.
We already know from his lawsuit that his speech has
been affected, that his jaw is damaged, that his face
is permanently disfigured, that he doesn't know if he'll be
able to work again. Toll's attorney, Eric May, told reporters

(02:58):
that Toll will require extensive medical care in the coming days, weeks,
and months, that his mouth, jaw, and face functions have
been affected. That this sixty nine year old man who
worked his whole life collecting cooking oil might never be
able to work again because a drunk NFL analyst threw
him toward a dumpster over a parking space. If doctors

(03:20):
determine those injuries constitute permanent or protracted loss, Sanchez's six
year maximum becomes sixteen years maximum at thirty eight years old.
That's the difference between getting out in his early forties
versus his mid fifties and his career at Fox already over.
A Fox insider told The Daily Mail that the incident

(03:40):
is being viewed as a career ending event. Quote, he's
already been told that he won't be on camera again,
and we've made the moves to replace him. As long
as there are serious charges pending, we really just can't
have him on screen. The source continued. He has not
yet been officially fired because that takes some legality, but

(04:00):
that's where this is going. He has a morals clause
in his contract like everyone else. This arrest violates that
clause and it's a terminable offense. Sanchez joined Fox Sports
in twenty twenty one after starting with ESPN in twenty nineteen.
Three years at Fox over because of a parking space
dispute at twelve thirty in the morning while drunk in

(04:22):
an Indianapolis alley. His former Jets teammate Nick Mangold told
The New York Post He's stunned. The Mark I know
wouldn't do this. It's completely out of character. He doesn't
have an aggressive bone in his body for something of
this to happen. Something obviously wasn't right that night, and
I hope they get to the bottom of it. Something

(04:44):
wasn't right. Mark Sanchez was drunk, aggressive and decided to
climb into a sixty nine year old man's truck and
throw him around because of a parking space. What's complicated
about that? Sanchez's brother, Nick, broke the family's silence Monday,
telling TMZ, this has been a deeply distressing time for
everyone involved. Mark and our family are incredibly grateful for

(05:08):
the concern, love, and support we've received over the past
few days. Mark remains under medical care for the serious
injuries he sustained and is focused on his recovery as
the legal process continues. His next court date is November fifth.
By then, prosecutors will know whether they're upgrading to Level three,

(05:28):
whether Mark Sanchez is facing six years or sixteen years
for the dumbest decision of his life. Sean Ditty Combs
wants two things. A presidential pardon from Donald Trump, and
if he can't get that, a transfer to a nicer
federal prison in New Jersey. Monday, Ditty's lawyers filed a

(05:50):
letter with Judge Aaron Subramanian requesting he strongly recommend that
the Bureau of Prisons place Comb's at FC y. Fort
Dix a lie low security federal prison in New Jersey.
The facility has a residential drug treatment program that his lawyer,
Tenny Jerigo says will help Ditty address drug abuse issues
and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts. Fort Dix

(06:14):
is about sixty four miles southwest of New York City,
where Ditty was born and built his empire. It's one
of the largest federal prisons by population, with just under
three thousand, nine hundred inmates. There's also an adjacent minimum
security camp with two hundred ten inmates. It's been home
to reputed mobsters, drug traffickers, corrupt politicians, and pharma bro

(06:37):
Martin Screlly. It's also had its problems. In twenty twenty one,
an inmate was stabbed in the eyeball by a fellow prisoner.
In twenty nineteen, inmates were caught using drones to smuggle contraband,
including cell phones, tobacco, and weight loss supplements. The same year,
a correctional officer pleaded guilty to accepting bribes to smuggle

(06:58):
in contraband. It's greyly ended up in solitary confinement for
allegedly using a contraband smartphone to run his drug company
from behind bars, so it's not exactly club fed, but
it's better than MDC Brooklyn, where Didty has been locked
up since his September twenty twenty four arrest. He's already
served thirteen months there, which will be subtracted from his

(07:19):
fifty month sentence, meaning he could be out in about
three years. In a letter to the judge before sentencing,
did He claimed he's gone through a spiritual reset in
jail and is committed to the journey of remaining a
drug free, non violent, and peaceful person. He wrote, I
thank God that I'm stronger, wiser, clean, clear, and sober.

(07:42):
The judge hasn't acted on the Fort Dick's request yet.
Judges often make recommendations about where inmates serve time, but
it's ultimately up to the Bureau of Prisons. They consider
factors including severity of offense, required, security level, and programming needs.
But here's the bigger story. On Monday, President Donald Trump

(08:04):
confirmed that Ditty asked him for a pardon. Trump, referring
to Ditty as puff Daddy, told reporters about the request,
but didn't say if he'd granted. Think about that timeline.
Ditty was sentenced Friday. By Monday, he's already asked Trump
for a pardon. That's not someone who's accepted responsibility and

(08:24):
wants to serve his time for rehabilitation. That's someone looking
for an escape hatch before he's even been transferred to
permanent custody. Trump pardoning Ditty would be politically toxic. Didty
was convicted of transporting women across state lines for prostitution.
The trial featured testimony about violence, drugs, and freak offs.
There's video of him beating Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway.

(08:48):
His victims live in fear of his release. Would Trump
pardon that he's pardoned controversial people before, but Ditty, with
video evidence of him beating women with victims terrified of
his event, will release. That's a pardon that would follow
Trump forever. But Trump also makes unpredictable decisions, and Diddy
has connections, money, and apparently the ability to get messages

(09:11):
to the president. So we'll see if the Bad Boy
founder becomes another name on Trump's pardon list. For now,
Diddy sits in MDC, Brooklyn, waiting to hear if he'll
be sent to Fort Dix, waiting to hear if Trump
will save him from serving any time at all, and
probably wondering how he went from running a hip hop
empire to begging for presidential pardons. Update from Cleveland on

(09:38):
the Bianca Ellis trial, where witnesses testified Tuesday about the
moment she stabbed three year old Julian Wood to death
outside a Giant Eagle grocery store. Opening statements happened Monday.
The prosecution laid out their case. Ellis went to Volunteers
of America Thrift store, spent several minutes sifting through knives,

(09:58):
selected two, tested them by hitting them against concrete pillars
to check the pliability, then walk next door to Giant Eagle.
Surveillance footage shows Ellis entering the grocery store without talking
to anyone. She spots Margo Wood pushing her three year
old son Julian in a shopping cart, follows them through
the store, follows them out to the parking lot, then attacks.

(10:21):
Prosecutor Anna Farraglia told the jury Ellis stabs Julian in
the face with a twelve inch butcher knife. When Margo
tried to fight Ellis off, Ellis stabbed Margo too. Then
Ellis took the knife and stabbed Julian in the back.
The defense doesn't deny Ellis killed Julian. Her attorney, Fernando
Mack told the jury she acknowledges through her lawyers, whether

(10:43):
she testifies or not, that she's responsible for the murder
of Julian. She acknowledges through her lawyers that she's responsible
for the attempted murder of Margo. There's no running away
from that. That's not what this trial is about. The
evidence will show, though, that it is obvious she was
insane at the time of the events. Tuesday, eleven witnesses testified,

(11:05):
and their testimony painted a horrifying picture of both the
attack and Ellis's demeanor. Afterward. Matthew Stroud was shopping at
Giant Eagle with his wife. He testified, I saw a
woman stabbing a mother and child. I saw the knife
covered in blood. I saw violent motions toward a mother
and her child. Then he watched Ellis leave. His testimony

(11:29):
about that is chilling. Ellis walked away like she was
walking in the park, not running, not panicking, just casually
walking away with a bloody knife, like she'd just finished
a pleasant stroll. Stroud and his wife followed Ellis at
a distance until police arrived. His wife called nine one
one while he warned others in the parking lot and

(11:49):
tracked the woman who just murdered a toddler. Griffin Shop,
a Giant Eagle employee, was on his lunch break in
his girlfriend's car when they heard screaming. It was the
first person to reach Margot and Julian after the attack.
He testified, I saw a woman on the ground holding
a child covered in blood. Two nurses who happened to

(12:11):
be in the parking lot ran to help. Cheryl Mulaski,
a registered nurse, testified, I immediately took the child that
I saw in her arms and laid him down on
the ground, assessed him, yelled for help for e MS
someone to call, and I started CPR. Rachel Craven, a
pediatric ICU nurse, took over chest compressions. They tried desperately

(12:33):
to save Julian's life while his mother watched, stabbed and
bleeding herself. Body worn camera footage shown to the jury
captured e M s working to save the three year old.
They couldn't. Julian died from his injuries. But here's what
makes this even more disturbing. Multiple witnesses described Ellis's demeanor

(12:54):
as she walked away from murdering a child. One witness
said she looked nonchalant. Another said she looked like she
was walking in the park. One witness even said she
had a smile on her face, a smile after stabbing
a three year old to death after stabbing his mother,
walking away casually with the bloody knife, swinging it smiling.

(13:15):
North Olmsted Police detective Manuel Roman testified that surveillance video
showed less than ten minutes elapse between when Ellis walked
into the thrift store and when she followed Margot and
Julian into the parking lot, ten minutes from selecting knives
to murdering a child. Officer Danielle Shook testified about encountering
Ellis earlier that day at the police station. Ellis had

(13:36):
been released from custody and came to the station asking
about cash she believed hadn't been returned to her. She
was upset when told the jail had no other property
in her name, so Ellis left the police station. Upset,
went directly to a thrift store stole knives, walked to
a grocery store, found a random mother and child, and
stabbed them all Within hours. North Olmsted police officer Oliver

(14:01):
Wolcott testified about apprehending Ellis. He arrived within two minutes
of the call. Dashboard camera footage shown to jurors captured
him approaching Ellis with his firearm drawn, ordering her to
the ground. She tossed the knife out to her side
and complied without speaking. The trial continues today with more witnesses.
The prosecution will call the medical examiner and mental health professionals.

(14:24):
The defense will try to prove Ellis was insane at
the time of the attack, that her schizophrenia made her
unable to understand right from wrong, But the prosecution has
surveillance footage showing Ellis selecting knives, testing them, following victims, attacking,
and walking away calmly afterward. That's not someone who doesn't
understand reality. That's someone who understands exactly what they're doing

(14:47):
and doesn't care. Julian Wood was three years old. His
mother tried to save him and couldn't. Nurses tried to
save him and couldn't. He died because Bianca Ellis decided
a random toddler in a grocery store parking lot deserved
to die. The defense says she was insane. The witnesses
say she was smiling. The jury will decide which story

(15:08):
explains why a three year old is dead. We'll be
right back with Taylor's shab Business. The woman who left
her boyfriend's head in a bucket and is back in
court for attacking a prison guard to Wisconsin, where Taylor's

(15:35):
shab business is back in court today for a final
hearing before her battery trial. If that name sounds familiar,
it's because shab Business is already serving life in prison
without parole for one of the most horrific murders in
recent American history. Let me tell you about Taylor's shab
business and warning this case is extremely graphic. If you
need to skip ahead, I understand. February twenty first, twenty

(15:58):
twenty two, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Taylor's Shabbuziness, then twenty four
years old, picked up her boyfriend, twenty four year old
Shad Theorian, from his mother's house. They went to an apartment,
smoked cannabis with a friend, then, after the friend left,
smoked methamphetamine and injected trazodone, a prescription antidepressant they were
using recreationally. Then they returned to Theian's mother's house. His mother,

(16:22):
Tara Pakinich, and her boyfriend were away, Shabuzznis and Theorian
went down to the basement and began having sex. According
to Shabbuznis's confession, they'd engaged in erotic asphyxiation in prior encounters.
This time they used metal chains. Shabbuzzness strangled Theorian until
he started coughing up blood. Then she kept strangling him

(16:42):
for three to five minutes until he was dead. Then
it gets exponentially worse. Shabuziness performed oral sex on Theian's corpse,
used sex toys on his body for several hours. Necrophilia
fueled by meth and whatever darkness lives inside Taylor Shabiznis.
Next morning, she dismembered the body using knives she found

(17:03):
in the house, positioned Theorian's body on the bed, and
beheaded him over a bucket and a storage tote to
contain the blood. Dumped the blood down the basement shower drain,
removed his organs and placed them in plastic bags. The tote,
cardboard boxes, and the bucket February twenty third, twenty twenty two,

(17:24):
early morning, Tara Pakinitch hears the house door shut, goes
downstairs to check on her son, finds his severed head
in a bucket in the basement, covered with a towel.
His penis had also been removed and was in the bucket.
Police search the basement, find human organs stuffed into plastic
bags and cardboard boxes. Find Theian's torso and the storage

(17:45):
tote with one of his severed feet placed inside it.
Later find additional body parts, including his other foot, in
a crock pot box inside Shabusiness's minivan. Eight hundred body parts.
That's what Theorian became. Eight hundred pieces of what used
to be a twenty four year old man, described by
friends as kind and compassionate. Police found Shabbusiness at an

(18:08):
apartment complex. Her clothes were covered in blood. She had
a cut on her left thumb and scratches on her
arms she claimed were self inflicted. She was arrested and
charged with murder, mutilation of a corpse, and third degree
sexual assault. Her defense attorney entered a not guilty by
reason of insanity plea. But here's where Shabbusiness proved she's

(18:29):
not just mentally ill, she's dangerous in any setting. February fourteenth,
twenty twenty three, during a court hearing, Shabizness attacked her
own lawyer, Quinn Jolly, after he requested the trial date
be pushed back so experts could evaluate her competency. She
was tackled by a Brown County Sheriff's officer. Jolly requested
to be removed from the case. He was replaced by

(18:51):
Christopher Frolick. At trial, forensic psychologist Diane Litton testified that
shab Business told her she had a thing with Jeffrey
Dahmer a year ago. Jeffrey Dahmer was murdered in prison
in nineteen ninety four. Shabuznis was born in nineteen ninety eight.
She was living in a fantasy world where she had
a relationship with a dead serial killer who specialized in murder, dismemberment,

(19:16):
and necrophilia. July twenty sixth, twenty twenty three, a jury
convicted Shabuziness of first degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse,
and third degree sexual assault. September twenty sixth, twenty twenty three,
Judge Walsh sentenced her to life in prison without the
possibility of parole. Judge Walsh said he had to protect

(19:37):
the public from her. This crime offends human decency, It
offends human dignity, It offends the human community. It really does. Remarkably,
theian's father forgave Shabusiness at sentencing. He told her, I
believe everybody makes bad choices, maybe not to this scale.

(19:58):
It does no good to hate. I know you've got
a heart, got a mind, that's grace. I can't comprehend
your son was strangled, sexually abused, post mortem, decapitated, dismembered,
and scattered across multiple locations, and you forgive the person
who did it. That's either saintly or trauma induced denial,

(20:21):
maybe both. Shab Business is now serving her life sentence
at Tai Cheetah Correctional Institution, a maximum security facility for
female inmates in Fon du Lac, Wisconsin, but she can't
stop being violent even in maximum security. July twenty twenty four,
shab Business requested medical attention for a staple in her arm.

(20:41):
A nurse went to get tweezers to help remove it.
While the nurse was gone, Shabuziness allegedly lunged at her.
When she returned, a prison guard intervened, allowing the nurse
to escape. Then Schabuzznus attacked the guard, hit her in
the head with a tray, swung a metal table at her.
This is someone already serving life without perle, so she
has nothing to lose by attacking staff. She's been charged

(21:04):
with battery. Originally had a different defense attorney for this case,
Curtis Julka, but at an April preliminary hearing, Sha Business
lunged at him too, just like she lunged at her
previous attorney during her murder trial. Attacking lawyers is apparently
her specialty. Yulka withdrew from the case. Christopher Frolish, the
attorney who replaced her first attorney after she attacked him

(21:26):
during the murder trial, took over again, so Frolic is
now representing shab Business for the second time after she
attacked two different attorneys. In June, at a hearing for
the battery case, Sha Business blew a kiss to the
camera as she was wheeled into the courtroom in restraints.
Because even facing new charges for attacking a prison guard,

(21:46):
she's performing for attention. Today's hearing is supposed to address
whether she'll be restrained at trial and other motions. Her
trial for attacking the prison guard is scheduled for October
twenty seventh. Think about that. Shab Business is serving life
without parole from murdering, decapitating, dismembering, and sexually abusing her
boyfriend's corpse. She's already in the worst prison for women

(22:09):
in Wisconsin. She's never getting out, and she's still attacking people,
the nurses, the guard, her own attorneys, multiple attacks in
multiple settings. She's not just mentally ill, she's violently dangerous
in any environment, medicated or not supervised or not. Taylor's
shabb Business strangled Shad theory In during sex, had sex

(22:32):
with his corpse, cut off his head, dismembered his body,
and left his head in a bucket for his mother
to find. She told a psychologist she had a thing
with Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial killer who died six years
before she was born. She's attacked multiple attorneys, in a
prison guard, and somehow she's still finding ways to be
in court. Today's hearing trial on October twenty seventh. More

(22:58):
court dates to come, probably because Shabusiness will likely attack
someone else Eventually, shad Thurian's mother found her son's head
in a bucket. That's the last thing she saw of
the child she raised, not a memorial, not a funeral
with a body, a severed head in a bucket covered
with a towel with his penis next to it. Taylor

(23:18):
Shabuznis did that is serving life for doing that, and
continues to attack anyone within reach because that's who she is.
Not just mentally ill, not just insane, fundamentally permanently, irredeemably dangerous.
She's in the right place, maximum security, life without parole,
but even that's not enough to stop her from hurting people.

(23:41):
Some people can't be rehabilitated. Some people can only be contained.
Taylor's shab business is one of them. That's celebrity trials
for Thursday, October ninth, twenty twenty five. Mark Sanchez could
face sixteen years in prison if prosecutors up raid his
charges to level three felony. Fox insiders confirm his broadcasting

(24:04):
career is over a parking space dispute at twelve thirty
in the morning, destroyed everything he built After football, did
he ask Trump for a pardon? Trump confirmed it, but
wouldn't say if he'll grant it. Meanwhile, did he wants
to serve his time at Fort Dix in New Jersey,
where he can access drug treatment and be closer to
his family. He's already planning his release from ascendence he

(24:25):
just started serving. Bianca Ellis trial witnesses described her walking
away from stabbing three year old Julian Wood to death
like she was walking in the park, swinging the bloody
knife with a smile on her face. The defense says
she was insane. The witnesses say she knew exactly what
she was doing. And Taylorshaw business who strangled her boyfriend

(24:46):
during sex, decapitated him, dismembered him, had sex with his corpse,
and left his head in a bucket for his mother
to find. Is back in court for attacking a prison guard.
She's serving life without parole and still can't stip attacking people.
I'm read Carter Thursday prove that consequences exist on a spectrum.
Mark Sanchez faces sixteen years for a parking dispute. Diddy

(25:10):
is begging Trump to erase his four year sentence. Ellis
is on trial claiming insanity for murdering a toddler, shab
business is in maximum security for life and still finding
people to attack. Some crimes get plea deals, some get pardons,
some get life sentences, and some people are so dangerous
that even life in maximum security isn't enough to stop

(25:30):
them from hurting others. See you tomorrow with whatever fresh
chaos America produces overnight. By the way, before we go,
