KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the I Heart Radio app.

Now, we're going to start right away with Corbyn Carson from KFI News because we do have a verdict you may have heard in the shooting of that six-year-old boy, Aidan Leos.

This is from May of 2021. He was sitting in the backseat of his mother's car, and the murderer's girlfriend cut off Aidan's mom.

Her name was Joanna Clunin, and then Clunin responded by flipping the finger to the girlfriend and the killer, Marcus Aries.

And Aries responded by pulling out a gun, firing it at Joanna Clunin's car, and hitting Aiden.

Bullet went right through the back and entered his heart.

We have a verdict today. It was a murder trial. Let's get Corbyn Carson on.

Yeah, John, we talked about this several

times since the trial started last Thursday. Really quick trial, the defense did not call any

witnesses. Marcus Areeze did not testify on his behalf. And he had, the guilt was never in question.

The Reese had confessed to investigators in an over an hour-long confession that was he was asked

repeatedly, you know, why he did this and so forth. We've talked about all that. And so it all

boiled down to, is this going to be voluntary manslaughter or is this going to be second-degree

murder and a jury of 10 men and two women deliberated for less than two hours between yesterday and this morning and

came back quickly, guilty on all counts. That would be the second degree murder, shooting

an occupied vehicle, and then enhancements for both charges for the use of a firearm.

And so the man faces 40 years at sentencing set for next month. You know, Orange County, DA, Todd Spitzer spoke outside.

He said, this is a guy who killed this little boy because he flipped him off.

Oops, sorry.

You know, this always happens with you, John.

It must be you that's causing this.

Just kidding.
