Episode 270

<v Speaker 1>Sword and Scale contains adult themes and violence, and is
<v Speaker 1>not intended for all audiences.
<v Speaker 2>Listener discretion is advice.
<v Speaker 3>She said, do you think that I will ever be
<v Speaker 3>able to forget the sound of someone trying to breathe?
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back. This is season eleven, episode seventy of Sword
<v Speaker 1>and Scale, the show that reveals that the worst monsters
<v Speaker 1>are real. Well, I have nothing clever to say today,
<v Speaker 1>nothing to upset or piss off the audience of people
<v Speaker 1>that are always very eager to be offended by things.
<v Speaker 1>In this case, it was the attempt to the assassination
<v Speaker 1>of former and future US president. We all seem to
<v Speaker 1>have lost our fucking minds. So if you're calling for
<v Speaker 1>the death of another human being, please leave. We don't
<v Speaker 1>need to hear. We are constantly being watched these days
<v Speaker 1>through various forms of technology that monitor the most mundane
<v Speaker 1>parts of our lives, driving through morning traffic, buying a donut,
<v Speaker 1>that sort of thing. Then there's the things we're willingly
<v Speaker 1>offering up ourselves, like, for example, dancing on TikTok, or
<v Speaker 1>posting pictures of our weekend on Instagram, or tweeting about
<v Speaker 1>what an idiot Elizabeth Warren is and yes I did
<v Speaker 1>call it tweeting because I don't know what else to
<v Speaker 1>call it. But despite that, despite the big daddy state,
<v Speaker 1>the surveillance state from nineteen eighty four that we're all
<v Speaker 1>living in currently, people still do horrible things, almost as
<v Speaker 1>if deterrence don't always work. It's like they don't even
<v Speaker 1>think about the fact that they're being watched twenty four
<v Speaker 1>to seven. I mean, most of us probably don't think
<v Speaker 1>about that, so I guess it makes sense. Whether you
<v Speaker 1>go to the gas station or DM a friend on Instagram,
<v Speaker 1>you are constantly being tracked. The government can find out
<v Speaker 1>exactly where you were at what time pretty much unless
<v Speaker 1>you take precautions, unless you cover your tracks. Listen, I'm
<v Speaker 1>not going into a boomer state of the world spraying
<v Speaker 1>you with the garden hose kind of thing. Just bear
<v Speaker 1>with me here. The point is that despite knowing all
<v Speaker 1>of this, criminals still think that they can get away
<v Speaker 1>with murder for some reason, and sometimes they actually can.
<v Speaker 1>You would assume, as a logical person that crime rates
<v Speaker 1>would be going down in such a surveillance state, but
<v Speaker 1>it's quite the opposite. The thing about footage is that
<v Speaker 1>we still don't get the full story. That's the problem
<v Speaker 1>with things like TikTok, where you have a fifteen second
<v Speaker 1>condensed piece of information with no context. What happens when,
<v Speaker 1>let's say, surveillance video lacks sound. It's easy to think
<v Speaker 1>we can get a full picture just from surveillance footage,
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes what's recorded can fit multiple stories at once,
<v Speaker 1>and the truth is always hidden much deeper and is
<v Speaker 1>often much harder to decipher. On October fifth, twenty seventeen,
<v Speaker 1>police were called to a quaint apartment in Plantation, Florida.
<v Speaker 1>Sergeant Chris Tapher was one of them.
<v Speaker 4>Warriors Plantations Sarmn City, Plantation, almost twenty four years.
<v Speaker 2>Sergeant, And were you working.
<v Speaker 5>There back in October fifth of twenty seventeen, Yes, And
<v Speaker 5>what were what were you doing for the police department
<v Speaker 5>about that?
<v Speaker 4>I was a real patrol officer and on that day,
<v Speaker 4>this incident happened two weeks before I got promoted. So
<v Speaker 4>during this incident, on that day, I was actually riding
<v Speaker 4>with then Sergeant Ryan. She was training me in my
<v Speaker 4>new position.
<v Speaker 6>Okay, tell us little bit about when you got there,
<v Speaker 6>anything that you noticed right.
<v Speaker 4>When you buy on scene, as far as walking inside
<v Speaker 4>the house. I noticed that there was a female in
<v Speaker 4>the living room. She was talking to an officer seemed
<v Speaker 4>visibly upset.
<v Speaker 1>The woman who was visibly upset was Isabella Tegliorini. Her
<v Speaker 1>dyed blonde hair hung over her face as she sobbed.
<v Speaker 2>And what else did you notice that she kept going
<v Speaker 2>to the hall?
<v Speaker 4>I noticed just doing the cursory walk through the house,
<v Speaker 4>I noticed that in one of the bedrooms, all the
<v Speaker 4>furniture appeared to be moved in the middle. There was
<v Speaker 4>also a very strong smell of household cleaning products, specifically Fabuloso,
<v Speaker 4>which has a very distinct scent to it. Inside that
<v Speaker 4>bedroom was also on one of the walls freshly applied
<v Speaker 4>wet paint. I could tell that it was white just
<v Speaker 4>due to the smell of paint in that specific room,
<v Speaker 4>as well as the way that the light from the
<v Speaker 4>window was glistening on the machine of the newly applied paint.
<v Speaker 4>Also in that room was a red solo cup like
<v Speaker 4>the time you would drink in a party from It
<v Speaker 4>had n a liquid in it also, and then on
<v Speaker 4>the inside of the white part of the cup there
<v Speaker 4>appeared to be some dark red spots.
<v Speaker 2>That was also in the room.
<v Speaker 1>After walking through what felt like a renovated bathroom with
<v Speaker 1>one lone red party cup. Sargeant Taufer made his way
<v Speaker 1>out to the backyard.
<v Speaker 4>Walking through the residence again, out towards the back adio,
<v Speaker 4>there was a wet mop that was on the ground
<v Speaker 4>leaning against the side of the house. Cement underneath it
<v Speaker 4>was wet, so that indicates to me that the mop
<v Speaker 4>had been whit or freshly used.
<v Speaker 1>More officers soon arrived on the scene. Isabella sat crying
<v Speaker 1>as the Plantation Police Department invaded her home and started
<v Speaker 1>poking around.
<v Speaker 7>She was scared.
<v Speaker 1>Her roommate, list Willcox, was missing, but Isabella knew exactly
<v Speaker 1>where he was, and she said she would show police.
<v Speaker 1>Here's Lieutenant Kuca.
<v Speaker 3>I was instructed to take a witness, Isabella Taglerini, and
<v Speaker 3>transport her to knob Hill and Cleary Boulevard to the rear.
<v Speaker 2>Of a publix. And when you took her, did you
<v Speaker 2>take her in your vehicle?
<v Speaker 7>I did?
<v Speaker 2>And was she front her to the back? She was
<v Speaker 2>in the back seat. She just transported.
<v Speaker 7>Nobody rides in the front seat.
<v Speaker 5>Who was giving any directions?
<v Speaker 7>She was?
<v Speaker 2>And you remember if she said anything as you were
<v Speaker 2>getting close to she did she actually made a specific statement.
<v Speaker 2>I just read it out of my report.
<v Speaker 3>She said, this is the area I remember those cameras.
<v Speaker 8>She pointed for the.
<v Speaker 1>Cameras at the public's Isabella led the officers towards a
<v Speaker 1>big dumpster and did you.
<v Speaker 2>Approach that dumpster?
<v Speaker 5>They did?
<v Speaker 2>What did you notice about it? When you walked back there?
<v Speaker 4>I noticed that there were some blue latex kind of
<v Speaker 4>medical gloves, like the kind of a nurse or a
<v Speaker 4>doctor would where they were on the ground right in
<v Speaker 4>front of the dumpster.
<v Speaker 1>Then all the officers looked inside.
<v Speaker 4>I saw a tark elongated, probably around six feet or
<v Speaker 4>so in length. On each end of the tarp was
<v Speaker 4>a belt like a dress belt, like the kind of
<v Speaker 4>a man would wear with a suit on both the
<v Speaker 4>top and the bottom of the tarp.
<v Speaker 1>The contents of the tarp looked human, like someone had
<v Speaker 1>stuffed a limp body into a giant tube and tied
<v Speaker 1>it off with two belts. It was Nicholas Wilcox. Isabella
<v Speaker 1>Taglierini confirmed it. Here is Prosecutor Peter Sapek.
<v Speaker 7>My name is Peter Spak. I've been working for the
<v Speaker 7>State Attorney's Office seventeenth Ususual Circuit for about eighteen years.
<v Speaker 7>About seven of those has been in a homicide in
<v Speaker 7>capital crimes.
<v Speaker 1>Pierce Apak was one of the detectives called after Nicholas
<v Speaker 1>Wilcox's body was found.
<v Speaker 7>The medical examiner, I don't have it in front of me,
<v Speaker 7>but if I remember, is Blunforth's trauma. He had a
<v Speaker 7>number of very deep wounds to his face which were
<v Speaker 7>consistent with a very hard object hitting him a number
<v Speaker 7>of times, and also some stab wounds around his neck area.
<v Speaker 7>So the way he down died was Blunforth's trauma in
<v Speaker 7>combination with some stab wounds. Where he was found in
<v Speaker 7>the dumpster, he was actually in a tarp blue grayish
<v Speaker 7>tarp that was taped up.
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas Wilcox had been beaten and stabbed, then rolled into
<v Speaker 1>a tarp and chucked into a dumpster behind the Publix.
<v Speaker 1>Quite an unceremonious ending, if you ask me. The thirty
<v Speaker 1>nine year old general contractor had been living a simple life,
<v Speaker 1>devoid of crime. He was separated from the mother of
<v Speaker 1>his children, but spent plenty of time with his kids.
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't doing anything remarkable or unremarkable, as this is
<v Speaker 1>often the case for most victims, but Isabella had not
<v Speaker 1>called the police to report Nicholas missing. This whole thing
<v Speaker 1>started to unravel when she got her ex husband involved.
<v Speaker 7>If she had to understand that, Isabella called her ex husband,
<v Speaker 7>mister tagler Reini, but she had no idea that mister
<v Speaker 7>Taglerine would go out of his way and call the
<v Speaker 7>Plantation Police department. So when the police arrived, she's kind
<v Speaker 7>of caught off guard.
<v Speaker 1>Isabella did not expect the police to come rolling into
<v Speaker 1>her apartment that day, smell the bleach and the fabuloso
<v Speaker 1>and see the wet paint. She never expected the cleanup
<v Speaker 1>job to be spotted. As the police drove Isabella down
<v Speaker 1>to the police station to speak with her, she kept
<v Speaker 1>quiet well for the most part.
<v Speaker 3>She said, uh, do you think that I will ever
<v Speaker 3>be able to forget the sound of someone trying to breathe.
<v Speaker 1>Isabella Taglierini was a Brazilian immigrant who, like most women
<v Speaker 1>in her position, came to the United States for a
<v Speaker 1>better life. Here's prosecutor saypack again.
<v Speaker 7>When she originally came here was with either a boyfriend
<v Speaker 7>or another ex husband, and that that relationship fell apart
<v Speaker 7>because there was domestic violence. So she was really left
<v Speaker 7>in this country by herself, and she met mister Taglerini,
<v Speaker 7>and you know, kind of developed from their own So
<v Speaker 7>she did move here with another man at first.
<v Speaker 1>After Isabella divorced her first husband, Nicholas Teglerini, she met
<v Speaker 1>a man named Eric Robinson. Eric was a bit older
<v Speaker 1>than Isabella. He was big and burley, with a shaved
<v Speaker 1>head and kind of mean eyes. He'd been involved in
<v Speaker 1>some criminal activity, but worked construction and spent most of
<v Speaker 1>his time at the gym. I'm going to reiterate he
<v Speaker 1>was a big dude, but he was.
<v Speaker 7>Known to be a gym rat. That's where he met.
<v Speaker 7>There might have been some incidents of steroid ust, so
<v Speaker 7>you know, he was a bigger guy.
<v Speaker 1>Isabella and Eric struck up a romance as soon as
<v Speaker 1>they moved in together in June of twenty sixteen. Due
<v Speaker 1>to her immigration status, Isabella relied on the men in
<v Speaker 1>her life for employment. She never really had a career
<v Speaker 1>of her own. She moved to America on the back
<v Speaker 1>of old boyfriend, and then when she married Nicholas Taglierini
<v Speaker 1>in Florida, he took care of her. Now that she
<v Speaker 1>had started things up with Eric, she relied on him
<v Speaker 1>in the same way.
<v Speaker 7>She really never had a job of her own. She
<v Speaker 7>was always taken care of, whether it be her ex
<v Speaker 7>husband mister Tagler Reini, or Eric Robinson or Nicholas Wilcox.
<v Speaker 7>You know, she was always you know, she was always
<v Speaker 7>looking for somebody to take care of her.
<v Speaker 1>I believe that was the dynamic, and it suited Eric nicely.
<v Speaker 1>You see, Eric was a controlling guy. I'm trying to
<v Speaker 1>paint you a picture of Eric that translates into words.
<v Speaker 1>Imagine an aging club bro in his fifties with bad
<v Speaker 1>tribal tattoos and a shimmering tan. Yeah, that kind of guy.
<v Speaker 1>The kind of guy who posts pictures on Facebook of
<v Speaker 1>himself wearing salmon pink pinstriped shirts with bejeweled patter. Are
<v Speaker 1>you starting to get a vibeer? Isabella was under Eric's
<v Speaker 1>thumb and he took advantage of that. Plus, they weren't
<v Speaker 1>the most chill couple on earth. According to neighbors, the
<v Speaker 1>two fought constantly, and sometimes they're fighting spilled out onto
<v Speaker 1>the street for all to see.
<v Speaker 2>There's always issues here at this house. She ran over
<v Speaker 2>me a couple of times to escape, and she's always
<v Speaker 2>screamed and stuff about what he's doing to guy Eric.
<v Speaker 1>He was a big guy. As if things weren't crazy enough,
<v Speaker 1>Eric and Isabella decided to invite their friend Nicholas Wilcox
<v Speaker 1>to move into their shit show. Maybe they thought that
<v Speaker 1>a third party would help keep the peace. Maybe they
<v Speaker 1>just needed the extra income. Either way, thirty nine year
<v Speaker 1>old Nicholas moved in.
<v Speaker 7>Nicholas Wilcox.
<v Speaker 8>When did he move into that?
<v Speaker 2>Apartments? In the middle of two set him? Nicholas was
<v Speaker 2>a roommate?
<v Speaker 4>Correct?
<v Speaker 2>Was the roommate?
<v Speaker 7>How many bedrooms in that department or that house?
<v Speaker 9>Three bedrooms master, a master, vagiol, avestamle inside and then
<v Speaker 9>two other bed two other bedrooms and investment.
<v Speaker 7>So Nicholas would have his own bedroom.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, of course. Did you share a bedroom with Eric? Yes,
<v Speaker 2>we did, specifically our August of that year. Were you
<v Speaker 2>sharing your bedroom of Eric? Yes, I was.
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas moved in and Isabella soon started working for him.
<v Speaker 1>She had no job and he needed an extra set
<v Speaker 1>of hands.
<v Speaker 7>What did Nicholas will Cox you for a living?
<v Speaker 2>He was a general contractor. Are you a general contractor?
<v Speaker 9>No? Not?
<v Speaker 2>How would you be working for him? He offered me
<v Speaker 2>the job in the beginning to dig and to clean.
<v Speaker 2>The places where he was.
<v Speaker 7>Were keen, and the majority of time, which county were
<v Speaker 7>you working?
<v Speaker 2>We were was some beach.
<v Speaker 1>Working together every day. Nicholas and Isabella developed a strong friendship.
<v Speaker 1>He often did work preparing houses for hurricanes, and as
<v Speaker 1>Hurricane Irma loomed in the distance, so did a spark
<v Speaker 1>between the two roommates. But then, in June of twenty seventeen,
<v Speaker 1>a big fight between Isabella and Eric erupted in the home.
<v Speaker 1>He was arrested on domestic violence and strangulation charges, but
<v Speaker 1>let out two days later. Isabella did not want to
<v Speaker 1>press charges. Here's prosecutor say, pack again.
<v Speaker 7>So many times you see this, and I've had this
<v Speaker 7>in many homicides where the woman or a man is
<v Speaker 7>beaten and it happens over and over again, and all
<v Speaker 7>you see is the victim, you know, show up to
<v Speaker 7>the state at Journey's office and say they don't want
<v Speaker 7>to prosecute, and it's a circle, and sometimes it ends
<v Speaker 7>up in murder.
<v Speaker 1>So Eric was released and things in the apartment only
<v Speaker 1>intensified between the three. Though he had not made it
<v Speaker 1>known yet, Nicholas developed a crush on Isabella and would
<v Speaker 1>often get involved when she and Eric argued, no.
<v Speaker 7>There was even a recording that we had, and on
<v Speaker 7>their recording, it's Isabella Tagerini recording a fight between Eric
<v Speaker 7>Robinson and Nicholas Wilcox and they're really getting into it,
<v Speaker 7>and the reason for the fight is something to do
<v Speaker 7>with Isabella. And at one point where when Eric Robinson
<v Speaker 7>realizes that Isabella Tagerini is recording both of them, he
<v Speaker 7>jumps on top of Isabella and you can you can
<v Speaker 7>hear her screaming.
<v Speaker 1>Tensions were high, but Isabella and Eric stayed together and
<v Speaker 1>she went off to work every day with Nicholas. What
<v Speaker 1>a strange arrangement. Then in August of twenty seventeen, Eric
<v Speaker 1>was arrested for cocaine possession. This time it would not
<v Speaker 1>be bailed out quite so quickly. Nicholas and Isabella continued
<v Speaker 1>living in the apartment together despite Eric's absence. And I
<v Speaker 1>bet you can kind of guess what happens next.
<v Speaker 8>At any point, did you develop a relationship with Nicholas Wlocox? Yes,
<v Speaker 8>how long did it take? And did you have any
<v Speaker 8>communication with Eric Robinson on that point? You moved out
<v Speaker 8>to Nicholas Molokos.
<v Speaker 2>I'm see you moved out to Nicholas wlocos. Yes.
<v Speaker 1>According to Isabella, it took a few weeks, but soon
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas was sleeping in her room. Their relationship had been
<v Speaker 1>growing for so long that it was only a matter
<v Speaker 1>of time, but for the spark would ignite, before the
<v Speaker 1>very white music would start playing, before love would be
<v Speaker 1>in the air or something. Anyway, With Eric stuck behind bars,
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas and Isabella were safe to embark on the honeymoon
<v Speaker 1>phase of their romance. It was like a fairy tale.
<v Speaker 1>That is, until the early morning hours of October fifth,
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen. Isabella and Nicholas were laying in bed, sound
<v Speaker 1>asleep after another blissful night together of fucking and whatever
<v Speaker 1>else they were doing, when Isabella was jolted awake at
<v Speaker 1>two thirty in the morning.
<v Speaker 2>I will call with Eric holding my mouse in my egg.
<v Speaker 2>And then I opened my eyes. The television was so
<v Speaker 2>and the lights were on.
<v Speaker 1>Top of you, or he was on top of me,
<v Speaker 1>and the faint glow of the television still on and
<v Speaker 1>flickering in the corner of the room. Isabella saw Eric's
<v Speaker 1>angry face and he climbed on top of her, crushing
<v Speaker 1>her body down with all of his might, and like
<v Speaker 1>I said, big dude.
<v Speaker 2>Well at that moment, Eric made a question, Now ask
<v Speaker 2>him if I want to leave or die, and also
<v Speaker 2>telling me to be quiet, continue holding. I couldn't turn
<v Speaker 2>my head, Jimmy said, and I could hear Nicholas Milcox
<v Speaker 2>struggling to breathe.
<v Speaker 5>What do you mean by that?
<v Speaker 2>Was a noise that will never leave my mind forever
<v Speaker 2>heard of all person struggling. I couldn't see him, but
<v Speaker 2>he was struggling. Terrible noise like a noise like this
<v Speaker 2>in my mind. I saw that Nick was scared or
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know he was hurt. Then Eric woke me
<v Speaker 2>out of the bed until around the bed I couldn't
<v Speaker 2>see Nick, and a glimpse of my eyes I saw
<v Speaker 2>some scene on his face that looked like wood.
<v Speaker 1>Eric through the comforter over Isabella's head and covered her mouth.
<v Speaker 1>Then he marched her into the living room and shoved
<v Speaker 1>her down onto the floor, set me down, and.
<v Speaker 2>He was telling me that he was seeing not sure
<v Speaker 2>if he was going to kill me.
<v Speaker 10>To ask him why, I she didn't know him and
<v Speaker 10>stayed with Nicholas Wilcox and we could listen Nicholas trying
<v Speaker 10>to raise and he said he had.
<v Speaker 2>To finish his show.
<v Speaker 1>Eric grabbed a crowbar and stormed back into the bedroom
<v Speaker 1>towards his former roommate and friend, Nicholas.
<v Speaker 2>He had a big piece of metal, dark metal like
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know the name before, but was a big
<v Speaker 2>metal and he was he was doing like hitting him
<v Speaker 2>several times and saying, dying, mantherhooker, dying manerhook her, and
<v Speaker 2>that's that's why he was doing. Until the noise disappeared.
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't look. I was so afraid, so scared because I.
<v Speaker 1>Knew it was going to be the next Isabella sat
<v Speaker 1>in the hallway trembling as she listened to Eric pommel
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas over and over with a metal rod until the
<v Speaker 1>gurgling stopped. Blood had sprayed all over the bedroom. Isabella
<v Speaker 1>was shrieking and Nicholas was dead. Eric then comes back
<v Speaker 1>out into the living room and starts talking to Isabella.
<v Speaker 2>He told me, where is your medications for anxiety depression?
<v Speaker 2>I said it inside the bedroom in the same Joe
<v Speaker 2>so Hate told me he gave me. Tell me to
<v Speaker 2>stay four bars and then have some vot. I could
<v Speaker 2>come down and probably he could take control of my actions.
<v Speaker 1>After that, Eric gave Isabella her cocktail of vodka and xanax,
<v Speaker 1>then wasted no time getting to work cleaning up the mess. Now,
<v Speaker 1>let's be clear, four bars of xanax, in case you
<v Speaker 1>don't know, is quite a bit about as much as
<v Speaker 1>some people take before calling into our voicemail hotline eight
<v Speaker 1>nine six eight five four. So she must have been
<v Speaker 1>completely out of it.
<v Speaker 2>Eric was preparing, Eric asking me if there was there
<v Speaker 2>was black bags or something else, and somehow he came
<v Speaker 2>up with a tar, silver tarn.
<v Speaker 7>Where did he get the silver tar?
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was in the house because that was
<v Speaker 2>Nicholas John. He was putting tarps in the roofs, in
<v Speaker 2>the roof of the houses because there was a hurricane.
<v Speaker 1>Isabella trembled as she watched Eric wrap Nicholas in a tar.
<v Speaker 5>He wrapped it.
<v Speaker 2>Like a briton, and he put two belts, one around
<v Speaker 2>the neck and one around the feat. I remember one
<v Speaker 2>of the belts, Eric mentioning the motherfucker was using my belts,
<v Speaker 2>was along the house.
<v Speaker 1>Eric took both her and Nicholas's phones and told her
<v Speaker 1>not to bother trying to call for help.
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't signs that was militory order to stay next
<v Speaker 2>to you.
<v Speaker 1>Eric dragged Nicholas out of the bedroom and shoved him
<v Speaker 1>into the back of his work truck. The sun was
<v Speaker 1>beginning to come up and Isabella's reality was closing in
<v Speaker 1>on her. Eric said she was next if she did anything,
<v Speaker 1>called anyone, or tried to run. He threatened to have
<v Speaker 1>her kids back in Brazil murdered. He had connections, he said,
<v Speaker 1>Why wouldn't Isabella believe him? Eric was supposed to be
<v Speaker 1>locked up in jail for a long time for drug charges.
<v Speaker 1>Then boom, all of a sudden, he shows up in
<v Speaker 1>her bedroom and kills her boyfriend. Thank you American criminal
<v Speaker 1>justice system. Bill beck ut her my ass I was.
<v Speaker 2>So scared, so free, and I didn't trust the niece at.
<v Speaker 1>That time, because that's the thing, and why Isabella Tegnerini
<v Speaker 1>was on the witness stand and why she had been
<v Speaker 1>arrested herself. Eric left, He wrapped up Nicholas and left
<v Speaker 1>Isabella all alone in the apartment with her phone for hours.
<v Speaker 1>She could have called the cops. She could have run
<v Speaker 1>outside and screamed for any one of the neighbors who
<v Speaker 1>knew how dangerous, Eric was, but she didn't. Instead, she
<v Speaker 1>did what Eric told her to do. She started cleaning
<v Speaker 1>the apartment as Isabella floated around the murder scene in
<v Speaker 1>a traumatic daze. She sobbed and wondered how Eric had
<v Speaker 1>known what was going on between her and Nicholas. Was
<v Speaker 1>this all planned? Why had he showed up at the
<v Speaker 1>apartment at two thirty in the morning. Eric returned to
<v Speaker 1>the apartment an hour later and made more demands of Isabella.
<v Speaker 2>He asked him me too, to were some lunguries and
<v Speaker 2>be sexy. He wants to have sex with me. I
<v Speaker 2>need to survive.
<v Speaker 1>Right after he came back, after the two had sex
<v Speaker 1>and quotes, Eric and Isabella loaded up his car and
<v Speaker 1>set off to get more cleaning supplies. Being fresh out
<v Speaker 1>of jail, Eric had to check in with his probation
<v Speaker 1>officer some time later as well. But still the question remained,
<v Speaker 1>how did Eric find out about Nicholas and Isabella. Prosecutor
<v Speaker 1>Saypak had an idea and it all came down to
<v Speaker 1>a silly little love contract.
<v Speaker 7>We were thinking that he gets out of he gets
<v Speaker 7>out of Brown County Jail, his ex girlfriend, Miss Kenseck,
<v Speaker 7>picks him up. They go back to her location. Sometime
<v Speaker 7>that night when he gets out, he goes back to
<v Speaker 7>the location, and we love the homicide. We know that
<v Speaker 7>because Miss Kenseck testified that she drove in there so
<v Speaker 7>he can pick up his cadillag. We believe that he
<v Speaker 7>went in the house prior to the homicide, saw this
<v Speaker 7>note on the wall, took it to his ex girlfriends
<v Speaker 7>Miss Kenseck's home, and the following night or the night afterwards,
<v Speaker 7>he borrowed well, he stole her car to go to
<v Speaker 7>the location and bludgeon Nicholas.
<v Speaker 1>The love note in question was a single sheet of
<v Speaker 1>paper signed by Isabella and Nicholas with their blood. Cute.
<v Speaker 1>Remember how I said they entered into the honeymoon phase fast. Yeah, well,
<v Speaker 1>these two were completely in love, like two stupid teenagers.
<v Speaker 1>One night, after a couple of cocktails, they drew up
<v Speaker 1>a little romantic deed.
<v Speaker 7>It was almost like a childish contract that they wrote
<v Speaker 7>together that you know that Nicholas Wilcox will marry Isabella
<v Speaker 7>Tagreeni and be faithful to her at all times. And
<v Speaker 7>then it was signed, and I believe it was also
<v Speaker 7>not signed with blood, but there was. There was fingerprints
<v Speaker 7>laced with blood and both their fingerprints were on the note,
<v Speaker 7>and her story was that she left that note on
<v Speaker 7>the bedroom wall, and then after the homicide, it miraculously
<v Speaker 7>appears with Eric Robinson's property at his other girlfriend's place.
<v Speaker 7>So how it got there we don't know, but we're
<v Speaker 7>assuming that he read this and obviously got upset. And
<v Speaker 7>it's just, you know, it's a knife that cuts both ways.
<v Speaker 5>You know.
<v Speaker 7>It shows us that Eric Robinson obviously read it because
<v Speaker 7>it's with his property and it's supposed to be on
<v Speaker 7>the wall and the in the bedroom of the homicide location,
<v Speaker 7>and it wasn't obviously, But at the same time, it
<v Speaker 7>doesn't paint Isabella and in the greatest of greatest of ways,
<v Speaker 7>I guess, because like I said, it's a little childish.
<v Speaker 1>After Eric returned from dropping off his ex girlfriend's car,
<v Speaker 1>he had to dispose of Nicholas's body, which was still
<v Speaker 1>at the house in his work truck. There was a
<v Speaker 1>lot of driving back and forth during the whole crime,
<v Speaker 1>and Isabella was not the most credible witness, being on
<v Speaker 1>four bars of xanax and completely traumatized.
<v Speaker 7>The truck is actually backed up to the backyard of
<v Speaker 7>this residence and there's a neighbor, Miss Ginsburg's, that sees
<v Speaker 7>somebody that looks like Eric Robinson backing up the victim's
<v Speaker 7>truck to the back door of the homicide location and
<v Speaker 7>putting something heavy inside the truck, that being you know,
<v Speaker 7>the tarp that the body was wrapped in, and then
<v Speaker 7>the truck speeds off.
<v Speaker 1>Isabella and Eric took off in Nicholas's truck with his
<v Speaker 1>body in the back. They had no idea where they
<v Speaker 1>were going to dump it from there.
<v Speaker 7>You know, they go to they go to the Everglades,
<v Speaker 7>but there's too many people there. According to Miss Tagerini,
<v Speaker 7>they show up at the dump and they don't. They
<v Speaker 7>don't end up dumping the body of this place because
<v Speaker 7>again there's people watching.
<v Speaker 1>Eric was brazen, judging by his actions that day. Prosecutor
<v Speaker 1>Sapak believes he thought he'd never get caught.
<v Speaker 7>You know the fact that he's driving around Brower County
<v Speaker 7>with the body in the truck, in the victims truck.
<v Speaker 7>You know, he's going to a dump and there's very
<v Speaker 7>good video at this dump. It's it's beyond hd. You
<v Speaker 7>can hear all the conversation. You know, the worst place
<v Speaker 7>to dispose of the body, especially in Brower County, is
<v Speaker 7>a dump because they're surveillance is top notch.
<v Speaker 1>He's not kidding. The dump footage is clear as day
<v Speaker 1>and you can watch it all on YouTube.
<v Speaker 7>There's a number of stops, and in today's day and age,
<v Speaker 7>you record it everywhere. There's nowhere you can go where
<v Speaker 7>there's no cameras or cell phone technology. You can also
<v Speaker 7>pick you up if you have a cell phone on you.
<v Speaker 7>You're constantly giving the police information.
<v Speaker 1>After an unsuccessful trip to the dump, Eric had to
<v Speaker 1>meet his probation officer, so he took Isabella to the courthouse,
<v Speaker 1>which happened to be down the street from a Publix. Meanwhile,
<v Speaker 1>don't forget, the body is still in the car as
<v Speaker 1>they're driving. While Eric is at the courthouse, Isabella is
<v Speaker 1>left at the publics to wander and wait for him
<v Speaker 1>to return. Of course, like prosecutor say Pak said, her
<v Speaker 1>entire trip to the publics is filmed. Isabella strolls around
<v Speaker 1>the store, pushing a grocery cart and examining items like
<v Speaker 1>a typical housewife. Just imagine pushing your own cart past
<v Speaker 1>her at that moment, and remember, there's a body in
<v Speaker 1>the parking lot.
<v Speaker 7>In her car.
<v Speaker 1>Then she's seen using her phone and Eric walks into
<v Speaker 1>the store and finds her.
<v Speaker 2>I was afraid I have to meet him, very sure
<v Speaker 2>that I was going to be recite and do whatever
<v Speaker 2>he told me, that I was not going to run away.
<v Speaker 2>I was going to tell anything he told me to do.
<v Speaker 1>The footage is damning. Isabella had multiple opportunities to get help.
<v Speaker 1>She was alone in Public's for over half an hour,
<v Speaker 1>and right across the street is the courthouse filled with cops.
<v Speaker 1>Yet she does nothing but embrace Eric and follow his
<v Speaker 1>lead like a good little accomplice.
<v Speaker 7>And even though she embraces him at at the supermarket,
<v Speaker 7>that can be explain as you know, someone being in fear.
<v Speaker 7>You have to realize she's from Brazil. All her family
<v Speaker 7>is in Brazil, and the people that she knows here
<v Speaker 7>is really her ex husband, mister Taglerini, Nicholas Wilcox who's
<v Speaker 7>dead now, and Eric Robinson who murdered him. So she
<v Speaker 7>really has no place to go. So her story starts
<v Speaker 7>making a lot more sense when you put it in context.
<v Speaker 1>You know, Isabella and Eric ended up throwing Nicholas's body
<v Speaker 1>in the dumpster behind the Publics. Ironically, that was the
<v Speaker 1>place with fewer people around. Then they went home and
<v Speaker 1>began their cleanup job. They got rid of all of
<v Speaker 1>the evidence, scrubbing every drop of blood from the scene
<v Speaker 1>and painting the bedroom. But still it wasn't enough.
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, the mattress was disposed of at a different dump
<v Speaker 7>sight not too far away from the homicide location. It
<v Speaker 7>was ripped up and police were able to discover that
<v Speaker 7>as well because of Isabelle to and they were able
<v Speaker 7>to match the DNA to that of the scene and
<v Speaker 7>mister Wilcox. When the police arrived on scene, there was
<v Speaker 7>obviously no mattress. The place really reeked of bleach and
<v Speaker 7>they also use what's.
<v Speaker 1>What's it called fabuloso is the cleaner I would know.
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in little Havana and still have traumatic memories.
<v Speaker 7>It stinks, you have to understand it. Unless you do
<v Speaker 7>a very good job, and you're someone like Dexter, you're
<v Speaker 7>never going to get rid of blood evidence as much
<v Speaker 7>as you want to try.
<v Speaker 1>After they cleaned everything up, Eric left Isabella alone in
<v Speaker 1>the house and that is when she finally cracked and
<v Speaker 1>called her ex husband, mister Taglierini and told him what happened.
<v Speaker 1>He then immediately called the cops.
<v Speaker 7>When the police arrived, she's kind of, you know, caught
<v Speaker 7>off guard, and mister Robinson's not in the area. But
<v Speaker 7>when the police were there, they knew what kind of
<v Speaker 7>vehicle he drove, and they saw the vehicle driving past.
<v Speaker 7>When they saw the vehicle driving past a homicide the location,
<v Speaker 7>they did what's called a thulling stop, guns drawn, and
<v Speaker 7>he was taken into custody, and he never gave a statement.
<v Speaker 1>Eric may be brazen, but he wasn't dumb. He refused
<v Speaker 1>to talk the cops. You should too. But Eric was
<v Speaker 1>still arrested for the murder of Nicholas Wilcox and taken
<v Speaker 1>to jail. Isabella was also arrested for her part in
<v Speaker 1>the cover up, but her family would soon bond her
<v Speaker 1>out and she'd be on an ankle monitor until the trial.
<v Speaker 1>Isabella would appear to be the victim in all of this,
<v Speaker 1>but Eric's defense was going to make sure that the
<v Speaker 1>jury got the full picture, all of the full picture,
<v Speaker 1>including the ugly parts. Isabella Taglierini had been in bed
<v Speaker 1>with her new boyfriend and roommate, Nicholas Wilcox, when her
<v Speaker 1>old boyfriend Eric Robinson caught her cheating on him. Eric
<v Speaker 1>had been released early from prison, unfortunately, and came home
<v Speaker 1>to find a love note from Nicholas to Isabella. He
<v Speaker 1>became so enraged he bludgeoned Nicholas to death with a
<v Speaker 1>crowbar in his sleep and made Isabella help him cover
<v Speaker 1>up the murder. This sick love triangle had ended in murder,
<v Speaker 1>and now Isabella would have to face her part in
<v Speaker 1>the horrific crime. Eric Robinson didn't say a word to
<v Speaker 1>the police and lawyered up with a strong female litigator
<v Speaker 1>who was determined to make the jury see all the
<v Speaker 1>faults in Isabella's story and character. Her defense was that
<v Speaker 1>Isabella actually murdered Nicholas herself and called Eric to help
<v Speaker 1>her finish the crime.
<v Speaker 6>What happened in this case is that Isabella Taglierini killed
<v Speaker 6>her boyfriend Nicholas Rocos and blamed it.
<v Speaker 2>I'm her ex boyfriend Eric Robinson.
<v Speaker 6>You will hear that Eric Robinson was arrested by the
<v Speaker 6>Plantation Police Department immediately based on what Isabella Taglieri told them.
<v Speaker 2>The police rushed to judgment. They thought what they.
<v Speaker 6>Had at first was someone being honest and straightforward.
<v Speaker 5>Turns out, missus Taglierini's stories and statements and details kept changing.
<v Speaker 7>Well, they really try to blame everything on Isabella because
<v Speaker 7>of the inconsistencies in her statement and obviously the number
<v Speaker 7>of times that she could have called the police but
<v Speaker 7>refused to do it. And I believe that they also
<v Speaker 7>try to, you know, blame her immigration status that she wanted.
<v Speaker 7>You know, she wanted a green card and Eric Robinson
<v Speaker 7>was not, you know, not the person that was gonna
<v Speaker 7>give it to her, so, you know, she she kind
<v Speaker 7>of got Eric Robinson involved in this. Their story was
<v Speaker 7>that she committed this heinous act, called Eric Robinson to
<v Speaker 7>help her dispose of the body. And that's that's kind
<v Speaker 7>of their story because if you think about it, if
<v Speaker 7>you paint the picture that way, our evidence also fits
<v Speaker 7>that scenario because a lot of the evidence that we
<v Speaker 7>had was subsequent to the actual homicide, post homicide, you know,
<v Speaker 7>the clean up, driving around the body, these are all
<v Speaker 7>things that have been after the homicide. So if you
<v Speaker 7>blame it on another person and say, listen to that
<v Speaker 7>person called Derk Robinson to help and clean up the
<v Speaker 7>crime scene, all the evidence that we had and we
<v Speaker 7>presented fits that scenario as well.
<v Speaker 6>MS Tivanerini gives five different statements under oath to the police.
<v Speaker 5>Finally, on October fourteenth, they confront her with all of
<v Speaker 5>the inconsistencies because as they start pulling surveillance and doing things,
<v Speaker 5>they start to realize how.
<v Speaker 2>What she had told them was not necessarily true. For example,
<v Speaker 2>give you money, yeah, but until show that she told.
<v Speaker 6>The police that immediately after leaving the house, that partner
<v Speaker 6>Robinson with the body of mister Wilhof's body in.
<v Speaker 2>The bed of the Ford F one fifty, And I know,
<v Speaker 2>drawing a lot of.
<v Speaker 5>Details out to you, and this will all kind of
<v Speaker 5>come together as you start hearing the evidence that they
<v Speaker 5>took that vehicle to the courthouse with the body in it,
<v Speaker 5>and that she waited, had no phone, he had taken
<v Speaker 5>her phone.
<v Speaker 2>What comes out in the next week or.
<v Speaker 6>So, after the lead detective pulls the footage from the
<v Speaker 6>publics right down the street, is that.
<v Speaker 2>No, they were not in the F one fifty. In fact,
<v Speaker 2>is a Bella tyler i Ani was.
<v Speaker 6>Actually driving Eric Robinson's catalog to publics.
<v Speaker 2>And the surveillance shows that miss tiger Ierni has her
<v Speaker 2>phone the entire time and her purse, and that when.
<v Speaker 5>Mister Robinson comes to meet.
<v Speaker 6>Up with her at the public so they can leave.
<v Speaker 2>They're hugging, they're kissing, they're holding hands.
<v Speaker 1>Despite her bad behavior and the small details changing in
<v Speaker 1>her story, prosecutor Saypak said that what actually mattered about
<v Speaker 1>Isabella's testimony never changed.
<v Speaker 7>The Rootover testimony never changed. It was always, you know,
<v Speaker 7>it was always that that story, the truth of what happened.
<v Speaker 7>Minor things might have changed. She might have said that
<v Speaker 7>they drove a different vehicle when they came to public,
<v Speaker 7>so when we look at the surveillance, you know, it
<v Speaker 7>wasn't the truck. It was a Cadillac and she was
<v Speaker 7>driving when she said that Eric Robinson was driving. So
<v Speaker 7>small things but that maybe she didn't remember. But you know,
<v Speaker 7>the general aspect of her testimony never changed from day one.
<v Speaker 7>And you know, you have to understand they don't have
<v Speaker 7>to prove anything. The state is the one that's bringing
<v Speaker 7>the charges, so we have to prove up the charges.
<v Speaker 1>The state had to prove that Eric did this without
<v Speaker 1>a confession or the murder weapon, the crowbar was never found.
<v Speaker 1>Their strategy had to be airtight, which is why they
<v Speaker 1>decided against first degree murder in Florida.
<v Speaker 7>You know, we have various types of homicide. You have
<v Speaker 7>first degree premeditated murder, and the law doesn't necessarily fix
<v Speaker 7>the amount of time that must pass between the regination
<v Speaker 7>of the thought and the actually execution of the of
<v Speaker 7>the of the homicide. You know, it can take a
<v Speaker 7>second just by pulling a trigger. Then you have also
<v Speaker 7>a felony murder, which is also a first degree homicide,
<v Speaker 7>which means that somebody is killed within the perpetration of
<v Speaker 7>an enumerated felony such as burglary, such as robbery such
<v Speaker 7>as you know, robbing a bank, things like this, If
<v Speaker 7>somebody dies, that's also first degree murder, okay, And then
<v Speaker 7>you have murder and a second degree and that is Hey,
<v Speaker 7>we don't know what happened inside the apartment, necessarily because
<v Speaker 7>we don't have any witnesses other than Isabella Tagerini, but
<v Speaker 7>it is it is murder with a depraved mind, which
<v Speaker 7>means that there was some sort of rage on the
<v Speaker 7>part of Eric Robinson. That seemed to fit our storyline
<v Speaker 7>a lot more because says we didn't have to prove motive,
<v Speaker 7>We didn't have to prove pre meditation. You know, the
<v Speaker 7>sentence for secondgree murder is life. The sentence for first
<v Speaker 7>degree murder is life as well. So it enabled us
<v Speaker 7>to explain the story with what he had and the
<v Speaker 7>evidence that we had, without having the need to prove
<v Speaker 7>an extra element, that being the premeditation part of it.
<v Speaker 1>Eric's defense lawyer argued that Isabella killed Nicholas herself and
<v Speaker 1>then had Eric handle the cleanup. But prosecutor Saypak found
<v Speaker 1>that far fetched for many reasons.
<v Speaker 7>And you have to understand also her physical abilities. You know,
<v Speaker 7>she's a small person. You can see that on you know,
<v Speaker 7>when she takes a stand. But to dispose of the body,
<v Speaker 7>you know, wrap them up in a tarp, to even
<v Speaker 7>move a mattress. These are all things that you need
<v Speaker 7>some amount of strength for. And if you look at
<v Speaker 7>Eric Robinson you could see that he's capable of it.
<v Speaker 7>And I don't I don't believe that she'd be able
<v Speaker 7>to commit this murder on her own and dispose of
<v Speaker 7>the body and so forth.
<v Speaker 1>But there were many weird things that Isabella did that
<v Speaker 1>really trashed her credibility. For one, she tried to go
<v Speaker 1>on the Doctor Phil show to talk about the murder. Yeah, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>here's Eric's defense lawyer discussing this with the judge during
<v Speaker 1>the trial.
<v Speaker 6>At sometimes in the past, I believe a couple of
<v Speaker 6>years is Tier reached.
<v Speaker 2>Out to the Doctor Phil show to be a part
<v Speaker 2>of the show, to me to ask me if we
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be involved, which.
<v Speaker 1>Pending it wasn't before the incidents.
<v Speaker 8>Okay, obviously I could find but that's how I know
<v Speaker 8>doubt about it.
<v Speaker 2>So I did a miss and deposition about it. For
<v Speaker 2>answer about why she wanted to run the Doctor Phil
<v Speaker 2>show was because she wanted to get some type of therapy,
<v Speaker 2>because she knew that part of being on the show
<v Speaker 2>that maybe she would be able to get therapy.
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what can I say? I'm kind of with
<v Speaker 1>Eric's defense lawyer on this one therapy from Doctor Phil.
<v Speaker 1>This is America. There are thousands of hotlines in every
<v Speaker 1>state that offer free trauma counseling and assistance for those
<v Speaker 1>in need of it. But I guess some people really
<v Speaker 1>like trashy daytime television. Here's the judge's response, what is
<v Speaker 1>the relevance of that? I mean, let me put this way,
<v Speaker 1>if you ask her about it, then.
<v Speaker 2>The net and.
<v Speaker 7>It opens up the door to the why.
<v Speaker 2>I think it's totally irrelevant. But if I do allow
<v Speaker 2>you to ask it, that means the state gets to ask, you.
<v Speaker 7>Know, why did you do it?
<v Speaker 2>Because obviously you're bringing it out because you think that
<v Speaker 2>there's some sort of negative connotation of that. Well, I
<v Speaker 2>think it's fair.
<v Speaker 6>To say that for somebody who was so traumatized by
<v Speaker 6>an incident, I think it's.
<v Speaker 2>Just well, there are different.
<v Speaker 7>Conclusions you could make.
<v Speaker 4>One you could say that it's a bizarre act and
<v Speaker 4>maybe she's seeking some type of publicity.
<v Speaker 2>The other another argument could be that.
<v Speaker 7>She was suffering and needed free therapy.
<v Speaker 1>Still, Isabella decided to testify against Eric because well, just
<v Speaker 1>because she was promised nothing, and that says something about
<v Speaker 1>her character and perhaps negates this weird doctor phil stuff.
<v Speaker 7>So prior to her testimony, we never promised her anything,
<v Speaker 7>and that's you know the reason for that is so
<v Speaker 7>we can we can ask her understand and true, have
<v Speaker 7>you been off for anything? He played open to judge.
<v Speaker 7>You don't know what you're gonna get, and here are
<v Speaker 7>the apostible penalties. And you're here testifying because you know
<v Speaker 7>you want to and itself your own.
<v Speaker 1>Free will, and let's show what you did the prosecution's
<v Speaker 1>whole case rested on Isabella's story. That was all they had,
<v Speaker 1>along with the video footage, which actually made her look
<v Speaker 1>worse and helped the defense. Despite all this, the jury
<v Speaker 1>came back in favor of Isabella. They believed her. You know,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, for some reason, there's a propaganda campaign that
<v Speaker 1>says that women aren't believed when they say something, and
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure what the fuck these people are talking about.
<v Speaker 1>Modern day Western culture bends over backwards to believe women,
<v Speaker 1>whether they lie or not. But regardless, Eric wouldn't be
<v Speaker 1>so lucky. They would be locked away for life. Prosecutor
<v Speaker 1>say Pak and his team were happy with this verdict,
<v Speaker 1>but the question remained, why did Eric think he would
<v Speaker 1>get away with this? As say Pac said, we leave
<v Speaker 1>a digital footprint everywhere we go today. Everybody knows this
<v Speaker 1>isn't that right, Siri.
<v Speaker 7>I really think that he thought he could control Isabella.
<v Speaker 7>I think that he was such a dominering personality in
<v Speaker 7>that relationship that there was no doubt in his mind
<v Speaker 7>that she would ever flip on him. You have to
<v Speaker 7>realize that without Isabella's testimony, you know, from the beginning,
<v Speaker 7>it'd be very hard for the police to go in
<v Speaker 7>the right places to look for, that being the dump,
<v Speaker 7>you know, that being the various locations that she told
<v Speaker 7>us about. Eventually, I believe they might be able to
<v Speaker 7>get there through a cell phone technology, but you know,
<v Speaker 7>without her immediate intervention and her ability to tell the
<v Speaker 7>story and exactly where they went, that enabled the police
<v Speaker 7>to go to these locations and get the surveillance footage,
<v Speaker 7>which might have been deleted by the time they would
<v Speaker 7>have gotten there.
<v Speaker 1>The true hero of this story is Isabella's ex husband,
<v Speaker 1>because without his nine one one call, who knows how
<v Speaker 1>long it would have been before anyone noticed Nicholas Willcox
<v Speaker 1>was gone. Eric sent out text messages from his cell
<v Speaker 1>phone to friends and family trying to explain his absence,
<v Speaker 1>and he worked for himself with Isabella. All of Nicholas's
<v Speaker 1>family was in New York, except for his father, who
<v Speaker 1>attended trial every day. In a very real sense, Eric
<v Speaker 1>and Isabella could have gotten away with this if that
<v Speaker 1>nine one one call had never been placed, but they didn't,
<v Speaker 1>and now Eric Robinson will spend the rest of his
<v Speaker 1>life behind bars until he dies.
<v Speaker 7>Good good, there's no parole in Florida. When you go
<v Speaker 7>away when you're sentenced to life in Florida, the only
<v Speaker 7>way that you're getting out is in a casket. Murder
<v Speaker 7>is crazy. Murder is crazy, and murder and murders do
<v Speaker 7>a lot of a lot of a lot of things
<v Speaker 7>that you don't make sense, and that's why they get
<v Speaker 7>caught sometimes.
<v Speaker 1>Eric Robinson was a controlling man who thought he could
<v Speaker 1>get away with murder. After all, every time he was
<v Speaker 1>put in jail for hurting Isabella, she refused to press
<v Speaker 1>charges and he'd be released again. It's not shocking that
<v Speaker 1>this relationship ended in homicide. This is a recognizable pattern
<v Speaker 1>that often ends in bad things, including homicide. It was
<v Speaker 1>volatile and crazy from the start. As for Nicholas Wilcox,
<v Speaker 1>you just got caught up in a love triangle. Isabella
<v Speaker 1>was an attractive, exotic woman and I'm sure she had
<v Speaker 1>a damsel in distressed type mentality that appealed to him.
<v Speaker 1>Maybe if that stupid love contract hadn't been posted on
<v Speaker 1>the wall, this would have ever happened. She could have
<v Speaker 1>kept lying, gotten away with the affair. It really doesn't matter, though,
<v Speaker 1>because Eric Robinson found out and he lost it and
<v Speaker 1>decided to take matters into his own hands. What is
<v Speaker 1>the moral of this story, ladies and gentlemen, Well, there's
<v Speaker 1>a few. The first one is that Three's Company was
<v Speaker 1>a great show in the eighties, but it doesn't work
<v Speaker 1>in real life. Despite what these fucking TikTok millennials will
<v Speaker 1>try to sell to you, love is messy and there's
<v Speaker 1>no room for a cuckchair. Look at the end of
<v Speaker 1>the day, what happened here is that the world is
<v Speaker 1>full of dangerous, scary, crazy people. Eric Robinson was one
<v Speaker 1>of them, and he proved it that night when he
<v Speaker 1>murdered Nicholas Wilcox for sleeping with his girlfriend. There's probably
<v Speaker 1>another lesson here somewhere in this one. It might have
<v Speaker 1>to do with the fact that we're constantly being monitored,
<v Speaker 1>even if we're not committing a crime, even if we're
<v Speaker 1>not Eric Robinson, even if we're just good, tax paying
<v Speaker 1>civilians trying to do the right thing, We're still being
<v Speaker 1>monitored every second of every day by Big Brother, because
<v Speaker 1>we value our safety above our freedom. Unfortunately, don't believe me, Hey,
<v Speaker 1>sirih stay safe, sassholes. Well that's gonna do it for
<v Speaker 1>another one. Go check out our Summer of sword and
<v Speaker 1>scale hats at swordscale dot com we got a new
<v Speaker 1>one with the don't talk to cops design. I might
<v Speaker 1>like stay safe.
