| 0:00.0 | A word of warning. This podcast explores graphic and disturbing stories and includes some strong language. |
| 0:06.6 | It therefore may not be suitable for our young listeners or other folks who may find it disturbing. |
| 0:12.8 | Hello and welcome to True Crime News, the podcast covering high profile and under the radar cases from across the country every week. |
| 0:19.4 | I'm your host, Anna Garcia. |
| 0:22.7 | Our case this week, |
| 0:28.9 | a man accused of killing his pregnant wife was scheduled to go on trial later this month in Texas. |
| 0:35.7 | Why this man was walking around free on bail with only an ankle monitor is a question many are asking. And taking away his passport sure did not slow him down. |
| 0:40.5 | Police say that the accused killer cut his ankle monitor, got a fake passport that was good enough |
| 0:45.9 | to get him into Canada, but not good enough to fool the Italian police. So now he is sitting in an Italian |
| 0:53.4 | jail asking for asylum from his unfair prosecution |
| 0:57.8 | here in the U.S. And as a result, justice for a dead mother has come to a halt. We are recording |

| 1:24.2 | It's been a while, Anna, and we have to stop that, but it's been a while. How can it be the only time I see you lately is this way on Zoom? Not complaining, but yeah, we have a lot to catch up on. We do have a lot to catch up on, but I guess first we'll talk about the case and then we'll get to the personal stuff later, but it's great to see. Absolutely. Thank you. So, Lewis, I'm incredibly annoyed by this case because this is not the first time you and I are |
| 1:49.3 | having a discussion about someone who is potentially dangerous, cutting off an ankle monitor, |
| 1:56.3 | or just taking off with the ankle monitor out of the jurisdiction. |
| 2:01.4 | And we all live in this fantasy world. |
| 2:05.6 | We're just talking to Will, how we live in this fantasy world thinking if something goes off with the ankle monitor, it's like our home alarm system. |
| 2:14.1 | The police are called immediately and dispatched. It's not like that. It's just a recorded |
| 2:20.5 | blip. Right. Absolutely. And yeah, a good analogy to a ring and alarm. It's become very |
