  Bagels?

• 2:26Garrett Moreland?

  Bagels. Thank you very much, Peyton.

• 2:28Payton Moreland?

  You're welcome.

• 2:28Garrett Moreland?

  Gonna be talking about bagels. Come a long way, got some good bagels. I will be opening up a bagel shop. If you are not native to Utah, you don't live in Utah. I hope you travel down for it because it is going to be the best bagels you've ever had. Things are gonna be done a little bit differently. It's not gonna be your normal bagel shop. I can't give any more news other than that yet because it's gonna be a little bit of a surprise. But I'm hoping spring of next year is when it'll be open. That's kinda all I have, so I'll keep everyone updated. Um, I know it's a little far away, but it'll come fast and ask Peyton, it's been, I've been, I've been doing it.

• 3:04Payton Moreland?

  Yeah, he makes a lot of bagels. He's trying to crack down his recipe.

• 3:08Garrett Moreland?

  Trying to crack down.

• 3:08Payton Moreland?

  Luckily for me, it means I get to try all of them.

• 3:11Garrett Moreland?

  This is true. I did burn my hand on one of the bagels the other day. Was worth it, though.

• 3:16Payton Moreland?

  I need to take a video of you doing it because it's actually really cute.

• 3:19Garrett Moreland?

  Thanks. Peyton said, does that mean you're gonna start cooking now? I said, nope. Nope, I am not. This is as far as my cooking and baking skills go is bagels. Nothing else, just bagels.

• 3:31Payton Moreland?

  Oh, made me so sad.

• 3:32Garrett Moreland?

  Because for those who don't know, Peyton and I, we don't.

• 3:35Payton Moreland?

  Neither of us enjoy cooking.

• 3:37Garrett Moreland?

  Neither of us enjoy cooking. We'll make crock pot meals every once in a while, but we don't, we don't enjoy cooking. And that's okay. To each their own. No big deal. On that note, let's get into today's episode.

We've seen this scenario happen a lot on this show. Someone knows they're about to get caught for a crime. And before an arrest warrant is issued, they hop a plane. Maybe they set off to Europe, Asia, somewhere deep in South America, only for police to realize there is no way they're getting that person back. Because many countries have complicated extradition policies,

• 4:29Payton Moreland?

  which means there will be no trial in the United States unless that person willingly steps foot on American soil again. It's a heartbreaking loophole that allows many criminals to get away with their crimes and leaves families feeling hopeless when it comes to getting justice. Well, today's case is not one of those stories. Instead, it's about two countries actually coming together to fight a complicated legal battle, working in unison to get justice. So let's travel back to 2018 and meet 22-year-old college student Haley Anderson.

• 5:12Payton Moreland?

  Now Haley grew up in Westbury, New York, about an hour east of New York City in Long Island. She was the kind of girl who seemed very close with her parents, Karen and Gordon, and her older sister, Madeline. Now, they described Haley as hardworking, compassionate, extremely outgoing, and a free spirit. She's friends with everyone, she sees the good in everyone, and just wants to help everyone. Which was why Haley was thrilled when she was accepted into the Binghamton University's nursing school program. And I'm sure it came as a shock to no one, though, because Haley was a straight A student growing up across the board.

• 5:54Payton Moreland?

  However, going into the nursing program meant Haley would be putting in five years of schooling, rather than your traditional four, but she didn't seem to mind. She was only a few hours from home, so she could make the trip back to see her family whenever she wanted, now that she's, you know, going off to college. So she had a job, once she moves there, at the on-campus coffee shop. And she actually works here for three years, where she ends up meeting even more students, she makes even more friends, and she eventually in college gets a boyfriend that she cares a lot about. It's a fellow student named Kevin Ocampo.

• 6:35Payton Moreland?

  Now, everyone felt Kevin and Haley were a great match for each other. He really allowed her to be her best self. He never tried to change her. Like a lot of relationships in college, the two were unsure whether or not life would lead them down the same path. Haley already had a job lined up for when she graduated in the spring of 2018. The plan was to return to Long Island and work in the emergency room at Northwell Health. And while I'm not sure what Kevin's plans were, I can tell you that they didn't really seem to align with Haley's moving back to Long Island and working there.

• 7:15Payton Moreland?

  Because over the course of their college experience, the two of them actually were kind of on and off. Kevin claimed he really was in love with Haley and saw himself being with her, but Haley wasn't as sure. There was still a part of her that wanted to just live life, go out and date, have some freedom and enjoy being young, before she settled down into her serious job and a serious relationship. Which is why during her last year of school, her senior year of college, Haley started seeing other people. And meanwhile, she began studying for her nursing boards and soaking up the last few months of college with her roommates and best friends. These girls were named Josie Arton and Michellea Tapali.

• 8:00Payton Moreland?

  Now, the three of them, Haley, Josie, and Michellea, were extremely close. They were the kind of friends in college that you tell everything to. And they said Haley was supportive and sensitive, just an amazing friend, which was what made what happened that March in 2018 so incredibly devastating. On that night, March 8th, Haley, Josie, and Michellea, the three best friends, stayed up late into the night drinking and playing board games. Around 3 a.m., the girls finally called it a night. But when Josie and Michellea wake up later that morning, they realize Haley still isn't up and out of bed.

• 8:44Payton Moreland?

  So they end up checking her room and discover that she's not in bed. Now, to Haley's friends, this isn't too alarming. They're all adults. They sleep away from the house from time to time. They figure maybe Haley just went to meet up with someone late and spent the night there instead. So the day goes by, and that evening Josie is doing a poetry reading at a local bar. And this is a big deal to Josie, and Haley knows that. Her two friends were going to come and support her, including Haley. But then that evening, she doesn't show up, which is totally unlike Haley. And it's alarming because she's not answering any of her friends' texts or calls either.

• 9:25Payton Moreland?

  And maybe even stranger, she hasn't been active on social media all day. So that's when Josie and Michellea turn to the Find My Friends app on their phones. And they discover that Haley's cellphone is at a friend's house, someone she had been seeing casually, named Orlando Tesoro. So now I'm going to tell you a little bit about Mr. Orlando, okay? He's a 22-year-old nursing student, just like Haley. He was born in Miami, Florida. He was actually raised in Nicaragua, where his family was still living. So he had dual citizenship in both countries. His dad was a prominent doctor there, so Orlando always wanted to follow in his footsteps

• 10:10Payton Moreland?

  and go into the medical field, which was how he even landed in the nursing program with Haley. They had met during her sophomore year, though the two were just friends. Over time, though, particularly after going on and off with her pretty, steady boyfriend Kevin, the relationship between Haley and Orlando became more romantic. At first, a lot of people felt like Orlando and Haley had a lot more in common. Both were excellent students. They both seemed compassionate, understanding, and they liked to have a good time. However, there was one thing that made it a little bit more complicated. And that's that Orlando and Kevin Haley's ex were in a fraternity together.

• 10:52Payton Moreland?

  In fact, Haley was the one who originally introduced Orlando to Kevin and he liked Orlando so much that he invited him to pledge. So Kevin is shocked when he hears that Haley and Orlando have been seeing each other when him and Haley are in an off point.

• 11:13Garrett Moreland?

  Okay.

• 11:13Payton Moreland?

  But he also knew that Haley had made it clear to Orlando that she wasn't looking for anything serious, especially with graduation coming up. And while Kevin didn't seem to make it a thing, it appears his frat brothers were pretty annoyed with the situation. They thought it was annoying for Orlando to not have a loyalty to Kevin, his fraternity brother. So, once they heard that Orlando and Haley had started seeing each other, they actually decide to kick Orlando out of the fraternity.

• 11:42Garrett Moreland?

  Bros, nevermind.

• 11:44Payton Moreland?

  Anyway, so Orlando doesn't seem too bothered by it. I guess to him, maintaining his friendship and relationship with Haley seemed more important. It's now the morning of March 9th, 2018, and Haley doesn't show up to that poetry reading and her friends see that her cell phone's at Orlando's. So, they give it some time before panicking because this is obviously a known place to them. Though, they do try to reach out to Orlando and he's not answering his calls or texts either. In fact, another friend of Orlando's also hasn't heard from him or Haley in a day or so, but his theory is this. He thinks the two of them ran off together and eloped. However, Orlando's sister thinks something totally different. She says

• 12:26Payton Moreland?

  that she had received a strange message from her brother. So, essentially, these two nursing students who are dating are both missing. So, on the morning of the 9th, Orlando's sister calls police to go to his house to do a welfare check. Now, when police show up and knock on Orlando's door, they notice his car isn't in the driveway. No one seems to be home. So they leave without going inside. But later that same day, around 1:00 PM, Josie and Michelle are now really worried it is not like Haley to go this long without calling them or making contact. So they decide to take a ride over to Orlando's house, too. This is just a few hours after police leave.

• 13:02Garrett Moreland?

  I was gonna ask if they still have her location, but maybe, but maybe you don't know.

• 13:06Payton Moreland?

  No, it is at his house.

• 13:08Garrett Moreland?

  Oh, okay. So location's still live and active?

• 13:10Payton Moreland?

  Yes.

• 13:11Garrett Moreland?

  Okay.

• 13:11Payton Moreland?

  But, so they show up, they're like, hey, his car isn't in the driveway. But they decide to get out, start knocking on doors. Now, when that doesn't work, these two girls spot an open window to his apartment.

• 13:23Garrett Moreland?

  Let's go.

• 13:24Payton Moreland?

  Josie boosts Michelle inside and she climbs in herself.

• 13:27Garrett Moreland?

  The good friends.

• 13:28Payton Moreland?

  Yes.

• 13:29Garrett Moreland?

  That's what I'm talking about.

• 13:30Payton Moreland?

  Might be breaking and entering, but

• 13:33Garrett Moreland?

  Nah, it doesn't count.

• 13:34Payton Moreland?

  In the sake of saving your friends.

• 13:35Garrett Moreland?

  Yep, doesn't count.

• 15:29Payton Moreland?

  So Michelle gets inside, she's calling Haley's name. And that's when Michelle screams back to Josie to call 911.

• 15:38Garrett Moreland?

  Oh, no.

• 15:39Payton Moreland?

  Because lying on Orlando's bed is their friend Haley. She's naked, she's partially tucked under his covers. She's pale, she's motionless. Now, when first responders arrive moments later, they do confirm that 22-year-old Haley is dead in Orlando's bed. And after her autopsy is performed the next day, her cause of death is ruled as asphyxiation by manual neck compression.

• 16:08Garrett Moreland?

  Wow, okay, and Orlando's obviously not there.

• 16:11Payton Moreland?

  So back at the crime scene, there is one very telling clue about what had gone down. It's actually a note that was left from Orlando that was written in Spanish. And when translated, the note reads, quote, "I'm really sorry about this. I never felt I could be capable of doing this. Father, I will see you soon."

• 16:32Garrett Moreland?

  Oh, my gosh, so he's obviously gonna go back to Nicaragua, right?

• 16:37Payton Moreland?

  Let me back up just a little. As I mentioned, Orlando's sister had received a strange text from him on March 9, which is why she even called the cops saying that he was also missing and asked them to do the welfare check. That text said, quote, "He had done something bad and was now a disgrace to the family." So I'm not sure if it was the specific text that made her panic or if it was something else. But when a member of your family sends you something elusive like that, it's gonna freak you out. So that's the first very big clue that Orlando did this to Haley despite the fact that she's dead in his bed. But Orlando himself is nowhere to be found. And what went down between him and Haley is still a mystery.

• 17:22Payton Moreland?

  But luckily, there's security camera footage at Orlando's apartment that helps piece the story together for cops. And here's what it shows. At around 3:15 a.m. on the morning of March 8th. So this was after Haley and her friends had had their night with board games. And the two went to bed. Haley decided to go over to Orlando's house.

• 17:44Garrett Moreland?

  I, I just killed someone.

• 17:46Payton Moreland?

  They are shown entering together right around the same time. And Haley looks to be willingly entering the home with him. But seven hours later, Orlando is seen leaving his apartment. And this time he's alone. He moves some stuff away from his driveway and then he pulls his car out and takes off. They track him and learn he went to a local pharmacy and got NyQuil and melatonin, sleep aids. And the footage shows him arriving back at his apartment. He goes inside and again, doesn't come out for another seven or so hours. And when he finally does, he heads towards the apartment complex's basement.

• 18:31Payton Moreland?

  Now, when police went down there to examine what he had possibly done down there, they find something pretty telling. Hooks and a rope. It looked like Orlando had gone down there to attempt suicide.

• 18:47Garrett Moreland?

  Ah, okay.

• 18:48Payton Moreland?

  But there is also some blood on the floor as well as other evidence that suggests he seems to have fallen in the process and hurt himself. And that is actually where they find the note he left. The one that says, "I'm sorry."

• 19:04Garrett Moreland?

  Okay, so he was saying sorry because he was going to unalive himself?

• 19:09Payton Moreland?

  So because-

• 19:11Payton Moreland?

  Yes, because he says, "Father, I'll see you soon," but Orlando's father had passed away five years earlier. So yes, the note was originally a suicide note.

• 19:20Garrett Moreland?

  Oh, okay, okay.

• 19:21Payton Moreland?

  We also think the sleeping aids were probably purchased to aid in this attempt as well, but this still doesn't answer their lingering questions because this obviously was a failed attempt. So where did Orlando go? And what could have happened between him and Haley to even motivate this murder? So as police were trying to track Orlando down, they began speaking to Haley's friends and family to see what they know about this relationship. And they realized quickly Orlando was a lot more committed to Haley than she was to him. Apparently, almost from the beginning, Orlando was jealous of Kevin and the relationship he had with Haley. And when she was single, he won her over with sob stories about his life. And Haley is very compassionate.

• 20:06Payton Moreland?

  She wants to help. She wants to be there for Orlando. But then their relationship becomes more romantic and Orlando's obsession with Haley apparently grew out of control. He began showing up at her house uninvited. Sometimes he refused to leave even after being asked to. Other times, he would show up and smoke a cigarette on their porch. He would drive past the house slowly to see if Haley was home. Josie said she was often the one who would have to tell Orlando off because Haley was too nice. She didn't want to hurt his feelings. Then there was a night on September 15th, 2017, when Haley and Kevin showed up to a party at Orlando's apartment together. And at that party, they announced that they were back together.

• 20:50Payton Moreland?

  Haley told Orlando that night that things were obviously over between them. They couldn't keep seeing each other romantically, but she wanted to remain good friends. And Orlando freaked out. That evening, several people saw Orlando shouting at her. Then the following day, after spending the night at Kevin's, Haley went out to her car to find that all of her tires had been slashed.

• 21:11Garrett Moreland?

  Oh, my gosh.

• 21:13Payton Moreland?

  Now, Kevin and Haley

• 21:14Garrett Moreland?

  This dude is crazy.

• 21:15Payton Moreland?

  Both knew it was Orlando, but he denied it. And when Haley's parents suggested she file a police report and press charges, she said she didn't want to because the damage was over $600. So it would have been considered a felony, meaning Orlando could have been kicked out of the nursing school. And Haley was like, "I don't want to do that to him." Instead Haley put some distance between her and Orlando for a while. But eventually he kind of weasels his way back into her good graces. Some think it was because Haley felt guilty mainly for getting him expelled from his fraternity and then getting back together with Kevin. Others said that Orlando would threaten her emotionally, saying he was gonna self harm. If she wasn't there for him.

• 21:59Garrett Moreland?

  I, I am, how do I say this? I, I hate that. I feel like that happens a few times in some of the cases we do. And that's just, it's just not okay.

• 22:11Payton Moreland?

  Yeah.

• 22:12Garrett Moreland?

  That's just extremely, it's extremely selfish and just.

• 22:17Payton Moreland?

  Listen, I understand love can cause really intense feelings, but putting your life in someone else's hands or on their shoulders is manipulative.

• 22:29Garrett Moreland?

  It's honestly, it's selfish is what it is.

• 22:31Payton Moreland?

  Just a line we shouldn't cross.

• 22:33Garrett Moreland?

  Nope.

• 22:34Payton Moreland?

  So by March of 2018, it seems like Haley was kind of nearing the end of her rope. She was reportedly telling her friends she just wanted this friendship to be over with Orlando. So the police start to wonder, did Haley go over there that night to finally just have a talk with Orlando and say, hey, like, we're not friends. You've taken it too far. We can't even be friends now. And if so, that is what happened. He clearly didn't take it well. So even though the police think they have their motive, there's still one problem. Orlando is MIA.

• 23:08Garrett Moreland?

  I mean, he could easily be in another country by now as well.

• 23:11Payton Moreland?

  Well, luckily, the footage from his apartment offers a slight indication of where he went next. Because after his failed attempt, he's seen on cameras getting into his car with luggage.

• 23:21Garrett Moreland?

  Yep.

• 23:21Payton Moreland?

  So police are like, he's obviously on the run and they begin checking local airports. Pretty quickly, they find that Orlando had driven three hours to JFK International Airport in New York City. They actually spot him on security footage there, walking around with a bandage on his head, which confirms their theory that he probably injured himself. And it doesn't take much for them to figure out where he went at 8:40 a.m. On Friday, March 9th, he boarded a plane to Nicaragua. Remember Orlando has dual citizenship from growing up there. It's going to be a huge problem for police because he is a citizen there and the authorities in Nicaragua don't have to extradite him back to the U.S. It's it's their discretion.

• 24:06Payton Moreland?

  They get to decide what to do. So police are like, well, that's it. He got away with murder. When Orlando lands in Nicaragua, his mother picks him up from the airport clueless as to why he's even there. She drives him three hours north to their hometown called Chinondega. And for the next several days, that is where Orlando stays. Meanwhile, U.S. officials are putting everything together, realize that he did this. And they're trying to get in touch with authorities in Nicaragua. Because on Sunday, March 11th, the police department officially names Orlando their number one suspect in Haley's murder.

• 24:47Payton Moreland?

  Now, it's clear at this point Orlando is feeling the heat because just four days after his arrival in Nicaragua, he makes another suicide attempt. This time, his mother drives him to the city of Leon about an hour south to get him help, check him into a psychiatric hospital. The thing is, though, by this point, the Nicaraguan authorities had been in touch with American officials because obviously they got a hold of him. And they tell them, yeah, we're willing to help you investigate to an extent.

• 25:18Garrett Moreland?

  Oh.

• 25:18Payton Moreland?

  Haley's story had actually been on the news in Nicaragua because of all of this. And it seems someone working at the hospital recognized Orlando after he was admitted and reported it to the authorities. So on March 13th, 22 year old Orlando was arrested by police at the hospital. Now, this is something that we've probably like is probably a newer age thing. You probably used to be able to flee America and it would be easier to not get spotted.

• 25:47Garrett Moreland?

  Yeah, well, and also everyone talks about it. I also think the authorities, when it's like a pretty big charge in other countries, they help a lot more than they used to as well.

• 25:57Payton Moreland?

  Or gained a lot of attention.

• 25:58Garrett Moreland?

  Yeah, and so it's it's definitely a newer thing, right? I feel like. You used to say, growing up, oh, they can flee to Mexico and get away. I mean, yeah, sure, there's, there's a chance of that happening still, but.

• 26:09Payton Moreland?

  It's a lot harder.

• 26:10Garrett Moreland?

  Things have changed. You have a technology and everything going on. It's, it's a lot harder.

• 26:13Payton Moreland?

  You're able to track probably where they went.

• 26:16Garrett Moreland?

  And then.

• 26:16Payton Moreland?

  With social media, I mean, people in that area now can know that, hey, we.

• 26:20Garrett Moreland?

  And also, yeah, people don't want a killer around them.

• 26:23Payton Moreland?

  No.

• 26:23Garrett Moreland?

  If it's on the news, someone's like, wait, that, that person just killed someone. I don't want to die.

• 26:28Payton Moreland?

  Back in the day, you had a hope that somehow the wanted poster was up in the bulletin board. You know what I mean?

• 26:33Garrett Moreland?

  Exactly, yep.

• 26:34Payton Moreland?

  So on March 13th, the 22-year-old Orlando was arrested by police at the hospital and by Saturday, March 17th, prosecutors in New York had filed formal charges against Orlando murder in the second degree. But now the question was, how would his fate be decided? Would the authorities work with the US and send him back to the country to withstand trial? Or did Orlando still have a chance of walking free? Well, as this was all being determined, Haley's family back in New York laid her to rest about two weeks after Orlando was caught. And then two months after that came a day that should have been one of the biggest in Haley's life. Graduation. Instead of walking on stage, accepting her diploma, going off to her new job,

• 27:18Payton Moreland?

  a seat was dedicated to Haley with a framed picture of her in her place. Haley's father, Gordon, walked the stage and accepted Haley's diploma in her honor. And meanwhile, the Broom County DA, Steve Cornwell, holds out hope that Nicaraguan authorities will extradite Orlando to stand trial.

And then finally, in September 2019, Cornwell receives word and he tells the family, there's good news and bad news. Bad news is Nicaragua refuses to extradite him.

• 30:52Garrett Moreland?

  Oh.

• 30:53Payton Moreland?

  Good news is they're gonna press charges on him down there.

• 30:58Garrett Moreland?

  Why? What? Why?

• 31:00Payton Moreland?

  Countries.

• 31:01Garrett Moreland?

  It doesn't make sense. Like, who cares at that point?

• 31:04Payton Moreland?

  They said, we'll just charge him here and put him in prison here.

• 31:07Garrett Moreland?

  Yeah, but how much can you trust that? I mean, maybe they will. And also, I think I'd rather be in prison in America than Nicaragua or like another country. So I've heard some of other countries prisons are pretty, um, pretty scary.

• 31:22Payton Moreland?

  Well, the courts and laws work a bit differently there, as you might imagine. For example, there's no jury. It's just a judge. And they aren't charging him with second degree murder. Instead, with something we don't even have here in the US, femicide, the murder of a woman with whom the perpetrator specifically had a relationship with. So domestic relationship.

• 31:43Garrett Moreland?

  So we kinda have, okay.

• 31:44Payton Moreland?

  And unlike in the US, Orlando will not be required to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. The hardest part was that the American prosecutors would have no say in this trial. However, they did allow them to participate. Eight days before the trial began, the DA's office was asked to assist the prosecutors in Nicaragua and help facilitate the testimony for the witnesses back in the United States through the use of video conferencing, which meant Haley's friends and family would testify on behalf of her. So on October 1st, 2019, Orlando's trial began. The prosecution made the case that Haley had entered Orlando's home willingly on the morning of March 8th, 2018.

• 32:29Payton Moreland?

  Haley likely told Orlando she wasn't looking for anything serious, and that sent Orlando into a rage. When she went to sleep that night, they believe Orlando strangled her to death because if he couldn't have her, no one could, which by the way, would make this first degree murder. The first person to take the stand for the prosecution is Haley's mother, Karen, followed by 17 other witnesses, many of whom testify about Orlando's jealousy that he showed in the United States, his obsession with Haley. They also spoke about the incident where he slit her tires, showed video footage of him entering his apartment with Haley, but her never leaving. So you can clearly see how important it was that the judge got to hear from these witnesses

• 33:10Payton Moreland?

  who knew Haley and Orlando back in the US because so much of this was pretty circumstantial. But of course, the defense had their own version of events. They argued that Orlando had no recollection of the events. He woke up, he found Haley dead on his bed and had no idea how it had happened. And that's because Orlando was strongly under the influence of alcohol and was temporarily insane at the time, according to his defense, defense team.

• 33:34Garrett Moreland?

  By the way, just temporarily insane, just for like a moment or two when she died and then, then he's back to normal.

• 33:42Payton Moreland?

  He's like, now I gotta clean this up.

• 33:43Garrett Moreland?

  What? I'm gonna start using that. Sorry, I'm sorry to die, I was just temporarily insane.

• 33:49Payton Moreland?

  They say Orlando has no history of violence and this probably was provoked by Haley. So they blame Haley's death, murder.

• 33:57Garrett Moreland?

  Sick.

• 33:58Payton Moreland?

  On Haley. However, the defense only called one witness to testify on Orlando's behalf and it was a psychiatrist. The doctor noted that Orlando had tried to die by suicide twice after the murder. They also mentioned he suffered from epileptic incidents. But on the other hand, they said they couldn't verify what Orlando's state of mind was during the murder, whether or not it was true. He'd actually blacked out from drinking. He was temporarily insane. They said it didn't appear that there was anything wrong with Orlando's current mental state. So it almost seems like the defense's one and only witness almost helped the prosecution.

• 34:32Garrett Moreland?

  Yeah.

• 34:33Payton Moreland?

  Then after both sides rest, the judge did something we never see here in the United States. They let Haley's family give a final word. They're like, would you like to say anything?

• 34:44Garrett Moreland?

  I feel like that, I guess testimonies.

• 34:47Payton Moreland?

  For victim impact statement.

• 34:48Garrett Moreland?

  Yeah, yep.

• 34:49Payton Moreland?

  But this isn't a victim impact statement. This isn't sentencing. This is just.

• 34:54Garrett Moreland?

  Interesting.

• 34:54Payton Moreland?

  A trial, basically. Karen says this, quote.

• 34:58Speaker 04

  Haley was a beautiful, intelligent and friendly girl. She was an aspiring nurse and had her whole life to look forward to. She was and still is my best friend. So thank you for listening and letting me speak on behalf of my daughter.

• 35:19Payton Moreland?

  After a small break, the judge came back with her verdict, with the verdict the same day. And during the judge's speech, she detested violence against women and said everyone deserved equal rights. And that Orlando disposed of Haley because she was a strong woman who had made a choice for herself. She ended it with the verdict guilty of femicide. Afterwards, the judge let the family say a few words to Orlando and that's when Haley's father came forward and said, quote, "I want to leave you with this. I saw an endearing photo of you and your mother hugging each other. And my heart breaks for her. It truly does because you stole from your own mother.

• 36:01Payton Moreland?

  And even though she has unconditional love for you, every time she hugs you now, she will get a glimpse of that monster within you. And she'll know that one day you might get out." Orlando said nothing in response and two weeks later, he was given his sentence 30 years in prison. This is the maximum punishment for femicide in Nicaragua. And while some might have hoped for life behind bars, the DA in the case, Steve Cornwell, said it was more than we ever imagined he would get.

• 36:31Garrett Moreland?

  Yeah.

• 36:31Payton Moreland?

  He told the press, "We saw something we haven't seen before and it was really two governments working together, law enforcement agencies working together instead of fighting each other." Says that alone is a pretty big win. As for Orlando, he continues to fight his charges. In February 2020, he was back in the courtroom to appeal his conviction.

• 36:51Garrett Moreland?

  Get out of here, dude.

• 36:53Payton Moreland?

  His attorney argued that he was highly intoxicated at the time. They're doubling down on the "he doesn't remember anything" and this time, they had another psychiatrist evaluation and they were like, "We want this psychiatrist who, by the way, is seasoned in insanity defenses." Like, that's his expertise. The panel's like, "Yeah, we don't want to hear from him. Next." So they don't even let him come in. Orlando's team also said if he was tried in the US under second degree murder charges, as initially was said, he would have received a lighter sentence than 30 years. Now, we know, just because someone starts with second degree doesn't mean it doesn't get changed to first degree before trial. Oftentimes, it happens once more evidence is brought to the table.

• 37:37Payton Moreland?

  They asked the court to reassess and they were like, "Okay, we'll consider it." So the following month, they drag Haley's family back into the courtroom virtually to say why they believe he shouldn't get out and Orlando's appeal was denied, which means his sentencing of 30 years stands. But that might not be the end. If he is released and steps foot on American soil, they said they will charge him again here. But no matter how many times Orlando stands trial and no matter how many countries work together, there's no bringing Haley Anderson back.

• 38:12Payton Moreland?

  And that's the hardest part of all of this. It's a win that there was an example of countries working together, but at whose expense? Haley's?

• 38:21Garrett Moreland?

  Yeah.

• 38:22Payton Moreland?

  This just shouldn't have happened in general. And that is the case of Haley Anderson.

• 38:28Garrett Moreland?

  Oh, senseless murder. I will never understand. Murder, killing someone in general. I will never, ever, ever understand. Not okay. It's just not okay to kill people. Not sure when. I don't know. Just not okay to kill people. End of story.

• 38:47Payton Moreland?

  You know, this could be a hot take, but I actually do believe there have been times in history where someone has blacked out while committing murder. I don't think that's one of those times.

• 38:58Garrett Moreland?

  No, it's a complete liar. Get out of here.

• 39:01Payton Moreland?

  I think it's just, I'm sure you dissociated from it afterwards.

• 39:06Garrett Moreland?

  Yeah, nope.

• 39:07Payton Moreland?

  But you knew what you were doing. All right, you guys, that is our case and we will see you next time with another one. I love it.

• 39:14Garrett Moreland?

  And I hate it.

• 39:15Payton Moreland?

  Goodbye.
