| 0:00.0 | Good evening, everyone, and welcome to police off the cuff, real crime stories. |
| 0:11.0 | I'm your host, retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27-year veteran of the NYPD. |
| 0:18.2 | We're bringing back a question, a case that has been over for over a month, but everyone |
| 0:26.0 | keeps asking us the question. Jennifer Soto, you see Jennifer Soto on the screen that |
| 0:34.5 | pathetic face, that was pathetic in more ways than her face but uh in her actions |

| 1:59.4 | that he pled guilty and received life without parole, |
| 2:06.0 | you know. |
| 2:06.9 | And as a case, of all the cases that I've covered, police off the cuff is covered, this was |
| 2:13.7 | one of the most despicable human beings I have ever encountered in my podcasting career |
| 2:21.4 | as well as my police career. He's just a pathetic, pathetic individual. And he is where he belongs |
| 2:30.5 | for the rest of his life. He's in state prison and he should never ever walk the face of |
