Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. No recording can be started from here.
240 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 10 voices separated from the audio.
40 short machine repair(s) (47 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 94.4% of 13,423 content words.
Dotted words (317 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
240 passages (18% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

No, you're quite welcome. Has everyone had an opportunity to review the agenda for this meeting? Yes. I'll entertain a motion at this time to approve the agenda so that we can proceed with this meeting.

I motion that the Landis case be tabled until the July meeting. And the reason for that is it's currently in the appeals process with the city manager. I provided the documentation. It should be in part of the package.

think it is, you know, this case is, I looked at all the videos and the, uh, read pretty much a lot of the documentation that was provided. And I think, uh, some of the people that, uh, who made the complaint probably are here. And I, you know, I think, you know, they should be able to see or hear what we discuss about the case, you know, but that's just my opposition to it.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:04:58–00:04:58 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
to approve the motion because I believe that the, the appeal itself and what happens as a result of that appeal could, um, be a part of what we discuss at some point, depending upon what happens and, and how relevant it is. And, um, and I think that if we partook in a discussion today without knowing what the outcome of that is or how that goes, we may be having an incomplete discussion on, um, the matters that lie before us. Um, but it was, it was frustrating to me to learn this information when I got here today, because I would have thought that we
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:05:43–00:05:43 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
been informed of that sooner. So that, um, certain people may not have, uh, spent their time or energy or drove this way, um, for the meeting unnecessarily. But,
be, um, it needs to be complete. And, uh, and I want to make sure that we discuss everything that is on the table, um, and relate it to the matter to discuss if we're going to discuss it.
Absolutely. Well, we don't even have to make a decision, but let them just say what they came here to say and then in July we'll have all the information and their input and we can go from there.
Duly noted our citizen, uh, participation, uh, section, section four of this agenda, um, is still, um, open and available for anyone that has comment as to any of the matters, um, that are on the agenda for discussion. We just won't make any recommendations to leadership or engage as a committee, um, in discussion on that particular item until we have all the information, um, from the appeal, uh, process

Um, I mean, I'll just say briefly, I understand why it's unfounded and I mean, agree in that situation. Um, there was a complaint about a staff member and that staff member wasn't identified. There wasn't a full name, badge number, no information, um, attached to that person and no way to identify them and to confirm whether they were a staff
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:08:29–00:08:32 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And so I don't know how, uh, leadership can discipline someone, uh, if they don't even know who that someone is. So it makes sense to me that that one would be unfounded. Any further discussion?

‸ my understanding from, from reading it, um, was that there was a, it was a teaching moment, uh, for retraining for a young officer that was still learning the role and learning the position. And basically the officer made, uh, gave, uh,
gave his word to a community citizen saying that he was going to, uh, forward, uh, the, the facts of the case to the state attorney's office. And then later decided that he wouldn't. And that community member rightfully so took issue with that. And my understanding is that, is that, uh, leadership took that as a teachable moment and basically, uh,
keep their word. Um, and that's how it went. Um, and I think under the situation, you, you got a, uh, a brand new officer, um, makes a mistake, gives their word. They, uh, they reprimand them. They make it a teachable moment. I think it's fair under the circumstances, assuming that, that there isn't a long history of disciplinary history from that young officer. Um, do we know if there's any other disciplinary history from that young officer or not?
then later on, he decided to rise to the level of actually writing a report, but he did not follow up with the citizen and let the citizen know, I'm not writing a report like I told you previously. He just let it go. And then the citizen obviously went down looking for his report. No report is there. So we just saw that as an opportunity to train them up and let them understand, you know, what our core values are today, ‸ we keep our word. You can't do something.

think, I think the thing that spoke to me in that is that they reached out for confirmation from the state attorney's office, um, to ask about the investigation. And, um, attorney, uh, Clarissa Harrell of the state attorney's office confirmed that the investigation was such that they were able to properly charge, um,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:14:29–00:14:31 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
amount of integrity, someone that whose word that I trust, um, and that I've worked across from. Um, and, um, and she does the job and does it with class. And, uh, and so, um, that's someone's whose word I, I definitely accept if she says that the investigation was, was up to snuff. Um, and, uh, and of course we have 2127 that we won't comment on. Um, but, uh, the finding was that it, that the, some of the allegations were sustained. Um, at this time, uh, is there any discussion from anyone on the committee, um, as it relates to any of these items? Chief?
statement about the Landis case. Yes. Um, so, so you make sure you're armed with the appropriate information. Yes, sir. So the outcome of the case is still going to be the same. The outcome did change. So he's, he's actually, uh, disputing his, the discipline that was given to him, which is his perfectly is his right. So I think that, you know, even if the city manager decides to lower his discipline, the outcome of the case is not going to change. Okay. So I think that you still have an opportunity. If you want to discuss that case, you can, even if the city manager decides that,
Flag: the recognizer flagged its own output; a language review questioned the wording · 00:15:59–00:16:06 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Okay. So, um, so, uh, based upon that, my understanding is that, um, the findings that certain allegations were sustained is something that won't change. ‸ And that, um, and that, that isn't going to significantly affect the conversation that we're going to have here. Is that your understanding?
is there the only issue that if we're going to hear from the public, I'm sure there may be a situation where you're provided with something that I may need to respond to, to make sure there's no confusion.
you're going to table it. Then when you, when you bring it again in July, you can open back up and then now you're going to have to open up a discussion, whatever the public mentioned. And then now we have to still talk about it.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:17:47–00:17:48 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
neat, uh, is open for discussion. And, um, and I'm willing to entertain a motion. And if, if the board has changed its position, then we can discuss it. If not, then we will table it.

what the chief is saying is that his consequences could change, but what is here and what has been found, the investigation in the internal affairs investigation, none of that stuff is going to change, but his punishment could ‸ change. And so that's the only thing my understanding is from the chief said that could possibly change. Here's the punishment that was issued.
any way that the punishment should be different just from what you see today, nothing can be done because the, the officer has a PBA, right? We're not going to reopen ‸ up the case or anything like that's not going to happen anyway.
Because I think that the city manager has the ability to review the entire case and make a determination based on what's presented in the course of the appeal as to
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:20:10–00:20:11 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:20:20–00:20:23 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
what his decision is because he has the ability to change the outcome, even though you don't want to change it. That is correct. Right. So that being the case, uh, I think it
should be tabled. Okay. So it's possible that the city manager could go in and find that the, uh, allegations were unfounded, even though those were sustained by leadership.
he'll read through all the documents. He'll look at everything. So, yes, he has an opportunity to, uh, anything that we sustained, he could make a determination,
or it could be, he could make a decision that is not sustained. And then also in those cases, if he did that, then of course, the officer would not receive any discipline.
Well, I think from, from our side, we need to know what the city manager's decision is and if there is any change in sustained or not sustained findings. Uh,
that, uh, is handling that grievance. That's a part of the record with the city manager. So, um, I think it's inappropriate to, and we've dealt with this circumstance before we understand the public, uh, wanting to be able to speak to it today. And again, I said, I don't have a problem with hearing what they have to say, but can we address it? I don't believe it's appropriate for us to address it today. Sure.
So I would suggest that if you're going to open it up, let's roll with it. I would, I wouldn't want to do half and half. If we're going to open it up, let's talk about the entire case. Uh,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:22:26–00:22:30 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
by doing part testimony today and then we're not going to, uh, to talk about it, you know, as far as from the police perspective, where we, where we stand. So I just say it's all or none. That's my suggestion.
Flag: words only one machine reading has (possibly not said) · 00:22:57–00:23:09 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
then the city could be in like some kind of, um, conflict with the, well, with the city manager and this committee. So I, I'm thinking like the chief, if we're going to talk about it, then we're going to talk about it.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:24:21–00:24:22 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
to change and based on what the chief and the, everybody came, why this was sustained. I, I, I, I'm not an attorney or a police officer, but I can read and I can understand that what in certain parts of the documentation that the officer Landis filled out and some of
stuff they did, I don't see how anything can change based off of that information. I left somebody going to say, okay, well none of this happened. So now we're going to change the outcome.
You just said that the city manager could say the things that they found that was sustained. He can say, okay, it's either sustained or not sustained. And so if, if the city manager say it's not, uh, unfounded, what they said,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:25:52–00:25:52 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
This is my report. He may say that the violation that I sustained doesn't rise to the level of the discipline. He cannot tell me to change my report. And he cannot tell me that this,
investigation was not completed. So he's not going to tell me to change my report. Now he could say that it doesn't meet the level of discipline he was given. And that's what he's grieving. So I just want to make that clear.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:26:41–00:26:45 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
legal representation of that officer in ‸ the appeals process introduces new or other information that may change something, the city manager has the authority and right to do that.
So only the chief of police can authorize or to have me and do an investigation city manager cannot order me to do that. And he also can change the discipline. He cannot change the outcome of my investigation because I did my investigation. So he may not agree with it, but it's going to stay the way it is. This report will not change. Right.

Well, again, that would be a fact that we would have if we table it and do it in July, if he had a difference of opinion on the basis of the investigation, which is why I say we should table it. You know, I, my concern is for the public too. You know, that we want to hear what they have to say, but let's get all the facts here first.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; the recognizer flagged its own output · 00:29:10–00:29:10 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Is impacted by what the city manager decides because our discussions that we've done up to this point have always been based on what is in the report. What action they took and what we recommend should be done in the future if someone acted like this.
it really doesn't matter if ‸ the city manager decided not to punish this guy at all. We can make a recommendation and say we think that the punishment that the chief sought was fair or that the ‸ punishment that the chief sought was ‸ not enough. ‸ And so I don't know ‸ if that is the only thing that's holding us back. I'm not sure if that ‸ is relevant to the discussion or impactful to the discussion. I think that the reason why I voted the way that I voted is because my concern was that the whole investigation could be overturned and he could be found. It could be found that the allegations were not sustained at all and that he was completely innocent of what he did.
and that just the discipline is what's being challenged. And so if if Miss Hamilton Brown withdraws her second, I will second the motion to allow for us to come to a vote. And if it's defeated, it's defeated. But I don't think that under those circumstances, we can't have this conversation because the ultimate, disciplinary outcome doesn't affect our conversation on the facts of what actually occurred. And that won't change based on the disciplinary outcome. That's my opinion.
Normally, the way that we do it is our committee discusses first, and then the public responds or has an opportunity to discuss. But we can always open it for the, does anyone have anything from the committee that they want to discuss as it relates to this item?

My name is Jessica Travis, and I am a local attorney, and I am the attorney for the family of Passion Lucas, who was hit and killed by Susanna Norris, who was driving more than two times the legal limit, and that is the investigation that Landis began. And I understand that the fact findings have already been made, and that it is this committee's ‸ job to look into the punishment and to make recommendations as to punishment.

So, um, you know, I know that there was mention in the report about the impact of the department, but I'm here to convey to you the impact to citizens that an inadequate investigation has. And so you have a family whose loved one has been killed by a drunk driver. And it is someone, you know, obviously within the community, Passion Lucas was well loved. She had children, she was involved in their lives. This is not a family that should have been discounted or discarded to the side. And they really felt like their concerns about their dead loved one was not being taken seriously.

Their loved one is dead. They cannot get answers. They're piecemealed out little things. And it wasn't until I got involved that we found out even more information. So I ask that you take into account that.

of this car. And that was like six or seven months after the fact. The investigation was not done adequately from the get-go, and it was slow-rolled or not taken seriously thereafter, even after Landis was taken off of the case. Now, I do admit,
[00:37:08]Speaker 10 (introduced as “Jessica Travis” — machine-transcribed, not verified) + overlapping voice · overlapping voices
mean, and still, so I guess the impact is no communication, not getting answers about a loved one, and that impact is continuing to this day as to the status of the prosecution in this case. I don't know if you all followed any of the news about this, but Susanna Norris has been charged with misdemeanor DUI, not DUI manslaughter, despite the fact that there is blood alcohol, showing that she was well over the double the legal limit. And why is that? We are currently in a battle of experts. I have hired an expert. The state attorney's office had hired an expert.

That does not allow those to come out. Now, the state attorney's office has told us there's nothing incriminating on there, but you'd have to excuse my family if they just want to question everything because of the way that this has rolled out. So I ask that you take these things into consideration. I ask that you take these things, you know, obviously I'm a white woman standing here. My family, they're all black. The victim, I'm going to call her a victim because she was hit by a DUI driver, even if they only charge her with misdemeanor DUI or not. It's black. The driver is white. When you have imperfect investigations, not only does it traumatize the family, it traumatizes community because whether you're black, white, Hispanic, you tend to think that there's favoritism being played in investigations ‸ and in prosecutions. And I'm not necessarily saying that that was happening here, but that's something to think about when you as a committee, a commission are determining what kind of punishment should be recommended. How has this

very professional, but as far as officer Landis, it's our position. He shouldn't be working for the department anymore. It's our greater position that it extended beyond officer Landis.

So, you know, just, just kind of give a perspective, um, about this entire case. And I can tell you from the, when I learned about the case, I was very disappointed in what I was told by the family.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:45:12–00:45:12 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
a lot of things I did not know. And then once I heard about what was pushed out on social media is when I just called in the sergeant and also the officer just kind of look and see what was going on with the case. And I made a decision that I just felt that we were not communicating with the family properly. So I had Sergeant Bradshaw call Miss Lucas.

which is the sister of the victim. And I had him call her and I told him to tell I can come meet with her wherever she's at. She can come to the police department. And so she came to the police department where I met with her, met with her to get an idea of how what was going on in her mind with the case. And I just felt that we were not doing our part.
I met with them and they said they want the officer fired. And I said, well, you know, even if he did what they're alleging, it would not have possibly arrived, risen to a level of being terminated. Even if he had done the things they were accusing.
we can go by what we believe happened, but we go by what ‸ we can prove happened. So I'm not discounting some of the allegation that the family made, but some of those allegations, you know, people that know him may believe that it might have happened. But if we go by what we can prove.

this, looking at the investigation and the failures procedurally that occurred. What actions has the Cocoa Police Department taken to ensure that this wouldn't be a reoccurring situation with a traffic
crash investigator? Right. So so since I've been here, if you if you watch some of the news, if you believe some of the news, I've been here about a year and as a new police ‸ chief. And we've made a lot of policy changes and procedure changes since I've been
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:47:45–00:47:45 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
as we should. Uh, so since I've been in place and since the Lucas case, um. Um, now, if we have a case like that today, ‸ the sergeant is going to be there working the case as well. When I say working the case, guiding the case. So we have a policy and procedure in place where the supervisor has to go out to every traffic homicide. He also has the responsibility to meet with the investigator on a regular basis to ensure that the case is moving along. Um, to ensure that we'll communicate with the family that like we supposed to, ‸ because I always look at, um, ‸ always put myself in the victim's position and the family's position of how I would want to be treated. And I think, and I still believe that we failed the Lucas family and how we treated them and how we communicated with them. That's not going to change. But I have, as far as well, my part being, I've been proactive and changing our policy and procedure and how we do investigations and how we communicate with families.

we wanted to make sure we was, we was looking at everything properly and we concluded the fact that passion, unfortunately, was in the road in the right of way of the vehicle. And so she was, she contributed more to that accident than the person being drunk. And although I knew that going in, we still charged the suspect ‸ with DUI manslaughter, DUI and leaving the scene of an accident. Uh huh. Even though that she went down the street for so far and turned around and came back, everything was a stretch. So then when you look at the state attorney, the prosecutor from the state attorney's office, they're only going to present cases they know they can prove. And the one thing they could prove was that they, without a doubt, was that this, that the suspect was DUI. And because they feel just like we feel that passion was in the roadway.

okay in her system but the toxicology it was a trace amount. It was barely above the detection level. And so the toxicologist concluded, and the state attorney's office agrees with me on this.

that would be consistent with that drug. So my toxicologist, which the state attorney's office agrees, and they told us in meeting with the family, they're not pursuing that narrative. They know that that's not true, that she wasn't under the influence of drugs to ‸ the extent that she would have been impaired and in the road, like stumbling around. She had some residual in there it was consistent with three days ago, but not enough, you know, to impair her in any way.

Well, I'm not used to that because we don't let a defense attorney look at nothing where I'm from the state going to be all over that case, all over that car first. So I had issues with that. And when he said that, I just didn't believe him.
And I looked at Sergeant Bradshaw told him to go contact the state attorney to find out that that happened. Well, that state attorney told Sergeant Bradshaw, he never told. Uh, officer Landis that the, uh, ‸ defense attorney can, uh, do an observation of that vehicle. So now I'm thinking that the officer lied to us. So that's a series, a series. Cause to me, that's, that's, that can be, you can be terminated for it's a variation. Yes. Well, for departure from the truth.
officer Landis was able to produce some emails back and forth with the state attorney that showed that he did in fact tell him to allow the defense, the, uh, suspects attorney to look at that vehicle. Now I did. Once I learned that after the investigation,
Uh, he, he agreed with me that should not have happened. Uh, but it did happen. And, uh, he, he assured me that it wouldn't happen again. So, um, he gave the officer Landis, uh, bad advice, but, but even with that officer Landis should have contacted his supervisor and, and talked about that. So those

The state attorney, they get hundreds of emails every day. And if you have an officer going back and forth about a case, there's a possibility he might miss something.

he said that he would talk with the state attorney, uh, because that's not a normal practice that they do in those cases like that. Okay. So if that would have happened with one of my commanders or something like that, where they told somebody that some gave them bad advice. I mean, that's just a conversation that you have to have, you know,

That's my understanding to chief that, uh, after reading all of this and seeing all of the notes on, on different documents in here leading into corrective actions that, uh, you've reviewed all of the policies, uh, as far as traffic crashes go and, uh, and you're, you're ensuring that. What is necessary is provided. And immediately not later.
So, like I said, we've updated policies. Um, we, we have better things in place where, uh, our. Traffic homicide investigative supervisor has regular meetings with his staff to get, uh, what we do case staffings. So you can have those constant updates. So that's what's in our policy. Now that's that's the new practice, which was, which was never done before. ‸ So, like I said, I have compassion. I understand why the family felt the way they felt, but even with the early on investigation that officer Landis was doing, it didn't change the circumstances.

I, you know, at least I would kneel down, sternum, rub something. Hey, can you hear me? None of that was done.

was completely bashed in. Greatest deformity. I could stick my body, my hands through the windshield as much. And you think a little woman hitting that vehicle on that pillar post and going into that windshield wouldn't almost decapitate her? I urge you to look at the police report, the medical examiner photos of her autopsy. And I think you'll get a different opinion.

sitting there. The chief, the commander, and the internal investigator. And they go out of their way to try to get all of the facts and weigh the facts in on whatever the case may be. And my question originally to the chief was, what have you done to ‸ ensure that changes are made so that we don't have a reoccurrence? I know you removed immediately Landis from his position as a traffic investigator. And you had a thorough investigation. That's evidenced by what's probably 40, 50 pages here. So to be fair to Chief Collier, ‸ you have been making changes on a regular basis. And I know that your interest and the interest of your commander ‸ and the investigations conducted by the internal affairs sergeant are all motivated towards having an agency that is responsive, caring, and accurate in their reporting.

that is a big deal. In the police world to take a motorcycle from an officer. So that's in their mind, that's punishment already. And that's punishment through his peers to look at that as punishment.
a motorcycle. That went away immediately once he was removed from that. So he was hit financially. And then thirdly, with the errors that he was having, his lack of communication, all that, those are trainable exercises. ‸ So he was he received remedial training to correct his report writing. And he soon he'll have a training for how he communicates with the public.
Will that training also include his ability to request subpoenas and things like that? Because I remember reading something about him saying that he wasn't trained on how to how to properly request subpoenas and things like that. And I saw that as troubling for someone that had been with
And I don't know whether he lied about that or not. I don't know. It's not my place to insinuate. But he I remember reading that he said that he wasn't trained on how to write subpoenas.

probably some validity to that, you know, it's just like past practice stuff, but past practice work before. But now in this case, well, I've never been trained before.
those are ‸ things that we're still addressing to make sure that all our officers are trained properly. I'm constantly giving additional training to my staff, to my police department.
Correct me if I'm wrong, chief, but I believe you also are doing that, uh, with your supervisors and you're holding them accountable for what their subordinates do. Yes. Yes. That's something that's
also been trained, uh, changing our policy that now, uh, they're responsible for, uh, the actions of their officers. That was not in our policy before. So they have responsibility to guide and coach our staff. That was not in our policy before. Thank you. You're welcome.
in the interview, ‸ when I questioned him about the lack of, um, subpoena for the black box and the phone records, his excuse was that he wasn't, he wasn't trained on that. And like chief said, that was the catch all, um, answer for most times when you're doing an investigation. Unfortunately, there's not a specific training class that teaches you how to do a subpoena. It's more of a, a learned practice that other detectives walk you through. And those are the things that he had at his, uh, disposal. You know, we

plenty of people, the sergeant is, is, could have done it. So it was kind of, uh, a lackadaisical response to ‸ question, which was valid. And he really didn't have an answer other than I wasn't trained because it's not a valid answer. Um, he had other avenues to go to.
You just fill in the blanks. So it's not really, it wasn't really a valid response. And it goes to the, basically the whole lack of investigation that he did on this case. Thank you, sir.

I saw, um, a deference from Landis that I have never seen. And, and I'll say, I, I've been practicing law since, uh, ‸ 2014. In that time, I've probably, I've probably handled. Maybe. 200 DUI cases.
so forth. Um, and outside of DUI cases, I've handled thousands of cases and I've saw so many video interviews and whatnot. I have never, ever seen what appeared to be, um, an officer, uh, taking the side of the perpetrator that they're supposed to be investigating for ‸ crime. Um, and.

preferential treatment when I have seen so many ‸ thousands of people, um, being truly interrogated for the crimes that they're accused of. Um. Um. And I can't comment on that. I can't make any assumptions about that. And.
As much as I want, as much as I want some other action to be taken or some recommendation, the reasons why I want more punishment for this person. Um. Can not be explained. In what I've read. Because there's no explanation for his actions and I don't understand it.
there's really not enough for me to see or go on to understand it. But I know that what happened is highly unusual. And I think that there are probably factors and circumstances affecting this case that are different from the other cases that are going on and that we have reviewed. And I don't know what those factors are. I know what the word on the street or the gossip is, and I won't on the record make insinuations about that or about those connections. ‸ I
make suspects as comfortable as possible with the intentions of getting a confession, getting evidence that we need. Did that interaction appear to be too cozy? Yes. Yes. ‸ But that was, uh, what it appeared to be that he was trying to ensure a, uh, confession of, of the ability to collect evidence. Um, me and my 34 years, I probably wouldn't have done that, but you know, I'm not in another officer's head of what he or she may have been thinking about at the time.
a perception that maybe that was, she was, uh, given preferential treatment. At the end of the day, you look at the charges that we garnered against her. So, um, even if we felt that, that interaction was a
And I covered that with him in the investigation, but that is a technique that officers use to make the suspect feel comfortable to gain some of that information ‸ that we wouldn't have had.
Yeah. Understood. I appreciate it. Um, uh, anything else from the public? Anything else from leadership? Anything else from the committee? Uh, hearing none.
