thank you foreign [Music] [Music] tragic story about the brutal killing of a 38 year old man that's how a crown
attorney described the evidence of what a Winnipeg jury will hear for the next several weeks and a warning the details
are extremely graphic at the trial today the jury heard Robin Green from Shoal Lake was stabbed at 68 times it happened
on July 1 2003. he was decapitated and his body cut up into eight separate pieces and left in a bathtub in a suite
in the Royal Albert hotel the crown says the victim's organs were removed and never found
Sydney tear house Moore is charged with second-degree murder his lawyer Greg Brodsky told the jury they agreed to
your house more is the killer but says his client doesn't know how the killing took place
the jury was told that kiras wrote letters to a Canadian journalist and American publisher that picked in The
Killing itself chair house also explains how he's infatuated with Jeffrey Dahmer the
American serial killer who cut up his victims Court heard the previous day green materials from a drinks at the
Woodbine Hotel then went back to tear House's Suite to have sex where green was killed Court was told that tear
house walked into the rematch Center the following day thinking it was a police station he told the corrections worker
that he had been drinking that he blacked out and that when he awoke the body was chopped up in his tub back at
his hotel room the months after the killing at the Royal Albert hotel it appears a man
charged with the murder wanted to talk about it but was any of it true that's what a Winnipeg jury must decide at the
Sydney to your house murder trial while in jail tear House Began corresponding with the Winnipeg journalist who at the
time had a weekly call-in show on a University radio station so Patsy testified that tear house gave him
details about the murder he couldn't have found out any other way the jury has heard so far that police were not
able to find the internal organs of the victim the end result was supposed to be a book
about the murder and upcoming trial called trophy kill a title Court was told that tear house came up with
he remembers almost everything but not the actual killing Sydney tear house told the jury he blocked out that day in
July 2003. he says he doesn't know how Robin green ended up mutilated in a hotel suite bathtub but what he does
remember is meeting up with a victim at the Woodbine Hotel tierhouse describes how the two went on a drinking Bender
ending up in his suite at the Royal Albert he says he got high on cocaine and oxycontin had sex with green a few times
and took some nude pictures of the victim eventually the two fell asleep tyros told the jury he woke up about
seven hours later to a sickening smell in the sweet saying quote I entered the bathroom and looked over to the bathtub
and he was deceased he was dismembered I threw up into the toilet because of what
I'd seen tyros then walked to the reman center thinking it was a police station staff called 9-1-1 Taro submitted to
telling the 9-1-1 operator I think I killed someone while in jail he wrote letters about the killing to a Winnipeg
writer who promised him a book deal tyros now says the Gory letters were all made up I had no one to talk to I was
locked up 24 hours a day I guess in a sick way it was entertainment for me tear house testified he got the killing
details from jail library books true crime stories of serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer but the crown argued many
details things like blood splatter match the actual crime scene and her detail only the real killer would know Stacy
Ashley CTV News Winnipeg the fate of Sydney tour house now rests with a jury they will decide that the man is guilty
of manslaughter in the death of Robin green or second-degree murder evil that's how the crown describes Sydney
tear house telling the jury he stabbed and dismembered Robin green the neatly stacked the victim's body parts in the
bathtub of his hotel room earlier this man was decapitated he was disemboweled he was eviscerated and certainly the
court will take that into account but to your House's lawyer says it was not a premeditated murder you can't say this
is the worst possible offense the worst possible offense would be if he lured somebody premeditated the crime and was
guilty of first-degree murder [Music] thank you shall we dance is an American film
released back in 2004. the film debuted on October 15 2004. now the story takes place in
Chicago but the movie was filmed in Winnipeg up in Canada back in 2003. shall we dance is a romantic comedy
starring Richard Gere Jennifer Lopez Susan Sarandon Stanley Tucci and Nick Cannon among others the film is a remake
of the 1996 Japanese film of the same name it is not a remake of the 1937 film shall we dance starring Fred Astaire and
Ginger Rogers the film had a cast full of big names and a budget of 50 million dollars so
success was really the only expectation once released the film grossed more than
11 million dollars opening weekend the film ran at the box office for 133 days grossing over 57 million in the
United States and a worldwide total of over a hundred and seventy million dollars
but if anyone tuned in today to True Crime garage just to hear about Richard Gere Susan Sarandon or even JLo you're
in luck actually I'd be shocked stupefied even there is a much bigger story here one that fits well within
these four walls of our garage Studio a sick and disturbing story there are many
different versions of this True Crime Story the following timeline may be the closest one that we will ever have to
the truth in short form this story as you may have guessed takes place in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada population
about 700 000 people Winnipeg is very much in the South part of Canada somewhat near the U.S border and one of
this great City's nicknames is the Gateway to the West why well if you look at a map you'll understand
this case takes place back in 2003. on July 1st this is a Canadian national holiday called Canada Day on this day
Canadians celebrate the anniversary of July 1st 1867 when three separate colonies became
one and just like the great U.S of A's Fourth of July this day is celebrated with fireworks parties parades and
barbecues July 1st 2003 in Winnipeg was a hot summer day 38 year old Robin green
traveled a few hundred miles to Winnipeg to visit with family and to celebrate and party for the holiday
on this morning he was making his way to downtown Winnipeg walking he stumbles Upon A group of onlookers this is a
group of fans hanging near where they are shooting this movie where they are filming the movie these fans are hoping
to catch a glimpse of some of the famous movie stars there is a decent amount of
security Personnel in this area now Robert continues on about a block or two north of this location
he finds several trailers parked side by side here unfortunately there does not seem
to be much in the way of security personnel Robin excited about this opportunity
decides to make his way inside of one of these trailers to see what he can find he was looking for any goodies that
might be lying around so now inside one of these trailers Robin is looking for something valuable
and inside a cabinet he finds a Ziploc bag containing several pieces of jewelry this he snatches and Stuffs the zip
block into his pocket Robin exits the trailer and continues walking off he's now heading downtown toward Main Street
a short time later Susan Sarandon's assistant enters this same trailer the one that Robin has just recently fled
she notices that one of Susan's earrings is lying on the floor the assistant then reports this to Susan
and the two do a little investigating and quickly realize that some of Susan's jewelry is missing from the trailer is
this her actual jewelry or prop jewelry that detail is a bit confusing as it's reported both ways I actually believe it
to be hers but she did wear some of this jewelry in the filming of the movie right so it makes it a little a little
difficult there around 10 a.m famous actress Susan Sarandon calls the police this is to report that a bag of jewelry
was missing from her trailer located on the set of where they are filming the movie shall we dance
this was a set of gold jewelry a necklace bracelet and one of her earrings remember the other was found on
the floor of the trailer alerting the assistant that something might be wrong it has been reported too that this was
costume jewelry which would make it sound or believe that it that it belonged to the studio that was just a
prop used for the movie a further investigation I found that the the necklace which will be really one of
the centerpiece items of this week's story the necklace is valued at four thousand
dollars so probably not just costume jewelry for the movie itself not too much later this
is around 11 A.M Robin green steps into a bar called the Woodbine this bar opened up earlier that day this
is an older bar that hosts a hard drinking group of regulars here Robin feels at home so he is drinking and
chatting with the other patrons there right at this bar is where Robin green meets 33 year old Sydney tyrhuse
Sydney is an overweight guy who has been at the bar for an hour or so drinking the two do not know each other in fact
as said Robin is from out of town tier Hughes was raised in Winnipeg but he had been living out of town for about 10
years Now Syracuse is a recently out of work chef according to tear Hughes Robin is
chatting with the patrons and flashing this gold jewelry that he he has with him and he's offering the jewelry up for
sale it's been reported that Robin was attempting to get fifteen dollars for the gold necklace
Robin doesn't find any takers what he does find is tear Hughes who Sparks up a conversation with him and then the two
start sharing some drinks now after some drinks tyracuse invites Robin green back to his hotel room this
is in the early afternoon hours of July 1st the two returned to tier hughes's hotel
room tier Hughes is staying at the Royal Albert hotel and this hotel is nearby it's within walking distance of the bar
tear house was renting room number 309. once there the two men continue to drink
and party this leads to some sexual activity and then later some playful Activity one of the men has one of those
old disposable cameras so they take some photos ironically tear Hughes takes a photo of
Robin green sitting in the bathtub after all of this the two would eventually leave the hotel room Robin
wanted to take a nap but Tyrus wanted to go back to the bar I can only assume that they agreed to go back to the bar
they did take a walk later according to one of the men they walked down to where
the shall we dance movie down to the filming location here is my general understanding of the
filming situation it was fairly early on in the filming process and Susan Sarandon was on set by
this time for a couple of days or so but it was early enough that Jennifer Lopez
had not yet arrived into town the two men who again just met hours earlier they walked down to the filming location
and then they walked back to the bar it does not sound like they stayed for very
long on this second visit to the bar they did have a drink apparently at one point tier Hughes introduces green to
the bartender the bartender would later say that she believed that green was quite intoxicated but Tyrus not as much
but Tyrus wanted to go fetch some ice before returning to the room so he asked the bartender after the introduction was
made to keep an eye on green which the bartender did Tyrus returned fairly quickly and then
he escorted green back to the Royal Albert hotel and back to room 309. according to tear Hughes once the two
were there green eventually fell asleep and tier Hughes blacked out or they both
blacked out this portion is a bit unclear the next day the morning of July 2nd Sydney Tyrus
wakes up from a blackout due to drugs and alcohol he gets up and he walks into the
restroom and there tyr Hughes finds the body of Robin green dead in the restroom
according to Tyrus he then walks to a nearby building that he assumes is a police department
when asked you know the standard questions how can I help you or what can we do for you tier Hughes says I need to
speak with somebody I am staying at a hotel nearby I blacked out last night and when I woke up this morning I found
a man dead in the bathtub right and at this point we don't know how intoxicated he still is or what drugs he still is on
or how much he's sobered up and like you said he thinks it's a police department but
it's not actually a police department it does make sense that he would believe this to be a police building it it is in
a sense I mean you would see officers entering and exiting this building but it is not he in fact has walked into the
Winnipeg remand Center which is a pre-trial detention center located in downtown Winnipeg yeah it houses people
waiting for Court decisions on their charges or placement in correctional centers
it is a minimum medium and maximum security facility so they have to get someone from the actual police
department here to talk with this man to make and take his statement well they do
they dispatch two officers to the remand Center the officers talk with tear Hughes and take his statement in which
tier use very matter-of-factly explains he spent the day before drinking all day
and doing drugs he says he met the victim and they went to his room for drinks and for casual sex tyrkuse says
he eventually passed out from being so intoxicated and then when he woke up and walked into the restroom he found the
victim dead yeah how did you do it he was asked interior Hughes said he chopped the guy up with what a knife he
said where is the knife now it's on the floor of the bathroom at my hotel room right this of course triggering further
investigation starting with Tyrus and three officers going physically going to the Royal Albert
hotel to room 309 to investigate hotel room is on the third floor of this old hotel
at the time of our case the hotel was like 90 years old this hotel has an elevator but I don't think
there was any air conditioning at the hotel and we did say this was in the middle of a hot summer yeah what they
did find there is truly just like something out of a horror film there was no way for the officers to
prepare themselves for what they were about to find two officers are going to go into the hotel room to see what's
going on now an additional officer and tear Hues are going to stay out into the hallway so now they are at the Royal
Albert hotel standing at the door for room 309. they opened the door and walk in the room is small and the room is a
mess the first thing they notice is a blood soaked bed sheet lying on the floor and a blood-soaked mattress as
well there was a good amount of blood on two of the walls in this small room they walk into the restroom and they're
lying in the bathtub positioned as though he is looking in the direction of the doorway
is the nude dissected body of 38 year old Robin green Robin is lying on his back inside of
this old clawfoot bathtub Robin's mouth was wide open and one of his eyes was missing the other had been
stabbed or punctured his head decapitated but placed neatly back onto the body the chest had several
deep stab wounds and a figure eight pattern was carved into the chest area as well
there was also a long cut running from the neck area straight down the center of the chest
this wound was a big one and was open and exposing an empty abdomen the organs had been removed the arms had been cut
clean through cut just below the elbows the legs too cut clean all the way through just below the knees the body
was sewn in half at the waist all in all the victim is now in eight pieces put back together inside the
bathtub [Music] all right cheers mates and a big cheers to everybody 100 million downloads that's a lot of people
this week just in the last hour right and everybody said if you got paid a dollar for every download I'm like yeah
we could buy a bigger and better garage we would do the show from our yacht True Crime yeah more importantly I know
this episode is coming out on Tuesday but we do want to take this moment to recognize all of our great veterans who
are currently serving and who have served in the past thank you all and cheers a big cheers to every one of our
great veterans all right so we have a situation where we have a guy that's in from out of town and he's snooping
around on a movie set and he's looking for something of value yeah he's he's straight up
looking to steal something right so he gets some jewelry goes to a local bar thinks hey this is worth something I'm
going to ask 15 right doesn't get that but strikes up a conversation this guy now they're drinking together
possibly doing drugs together decide to go back to the guy's room that's living in town seems like he's living in this
hotel room 309 correct sex happens and it seems like murder happens and then the next day
tyr Hughes which was renting the room 309 goes to Correction Facility and tells them hey I think I murdered
this guy they send police officers there again we don't know how intoxicated he is or or what his state is at this point
but as police officers you're probably thinking is this you know they they hear crazy stories all the time
is this guy for real you know we have to check this out now can you imagine what
they're feeling as they're escorting this individual back to his hotel room and once they open the door you have to
start thinking well at least that part of the story is correct and and that part of the story is truthful that he's
at least staying there yeah I mean there's a lot of issues with this portion of the story and one that's why
we said early on this might be the closest version to the truth in short form regarding the timeline right that
we're going to get and the reason being is we have two key players in this timeline unfortunately only one of them
is still alive and appears to be very guilty of some heinous horrible acts right and they're the ones that are
providing us with the timeline so as said as you said we don't know the State of Mind of Sydney tier Hughes or how
intoxicated or screwed up effed up he could be from drugs or alcohol or both or whatever
right at the moment that he's telling the police about this we also don't know what his state was leading up to this
and and during the course of the murder of this man and then the really what he's doing here what has
been done is somebody creates this it's it's sickening to say it this way it's almost
horror artwork by Design I mean it truly that's what it is we have a victim here
that was killed mutilated and then displayed displayed for somebody to see this and as said these are veteran
police officers in Winnipeg Winnipeg is not look shout out to our Canadian brothers
and sisters but anybody up in Canada will tell you Winnipeg is not the nicest city in the world it's it's it's nice
but it I believe it's the murder capital of Canada so these officers have seen a
lot in their days what they have not seen is this they've never seen anything like this before
I don't know that many many people have [ __ ] I don't know that anybody has yeah
and I think like you said I mean it's it's very odd it's almost a Pizza artwork and a sense and I don't
mean that in a disrespectful way but you have an individual that was cut up and eight pieces and almost put back
together and like you said is uh position in a way that they're looking at the door but the head is severed so
at some point they have to start moving the body to realize that these parts are
severed and what I find very interesting is that you have a situation where the bodies in eight pieces that there's
a figure eight almost like maybe those are connected in some way uh it's it's very strange and
and very um horrifying yeah and I I hate to use the word artwork because that that certainly
holds no meaning here but anybody that's seen the the TV series Hannibal will understand I mean that's what they
were trying to depict in that dramatization of fictional crimes this is something that happened in real life
right then you also have a situation like I said we we have this individual confessing to this crime I mean he
basically you know you know explains to him how you did it well how did you do it with this knife and then they
find the knife and and so you you almost have the confession there but he's also stating that he you know
they blacked out or passed out and as far as like my knowledge goes like I have friends that will drink certain
things or maybe take certain things that will cause them to black out and be in a
blackout state I have only been in one blackout State and you were actually with me on a
Carnival Cruise when I called a bingo on the 311 Cruise uh there's a bunch of pictures with me
with some somewhat famous people that people started sending to me when we got back from the cruise and I was like oh
that's a funny Photoshop picture and they're like no no you actually met that person and I took your picture and I
have no memory of that at all but as far as I know that's the only time in my life that I've ever been in this
quote-unquote blacked out phase where I'm actually walking around and talking to people and
and acting like I exist in this world and reality I don't remember any of that yeah and that's the weird thing about
tear uses if you want to call that a confession when he's reporting this crime you're almost getting two stories
immediately where he's saying I blacked out I don't remember the murder but but when asked questions how did you kill
him like I chopped him up I used a knife the knife is on the bathroom floor I guess those are all
things he could have learned from just walking into the bathroom that morning and finding the body that he left there
the day before when you said there was no air conditioning and I heard that when Tyrus went into the bathroom and
saw this scene that he actually got sick and threw up in the toilet so uh yeah it's just it's crazy and then
it's crazy to think that this person would be in a blacked out State and be able to do all that and
again chop up the body and put it back together and then display it in such a way
after seeing this incredibly horrifying scene the officers went back into the hallway
and this is when they formally arrest Sydney tier Hughes they put tear Hues in handcuffs the officers these are as said
seasoned veterans and that doesn't matter they are rattled very badly by the sight of this body
in eight pieces then reassembled put on display the cause of death was multiple stab wounds and they're in room 309 the
crime scene texts when they're going through this whole scene they find Susan Sarandon's stolen jewelry that was
reported as stolen the day before right now one of the key players in this case is going to be a man that most of you
listening may know we have discussed him on this show several times in fact he was a guest on the show back when we
covered the Luca Magnotta case in episodes 122 and 123. AKA puka not hotter and of
course we are talking about Dan zupanski you know Captain sometimes things happen
for a reason sometimes things in life really just kind of happen because they I feel like they're supposed to right
when Dan zupanski became involved in this case in Sydney tyrus's case in a way the case almost chose him
Dan was keeping an eye on this case in particular and for good reason he was involved with an organization called the
peoples for justice Dan was clipping news articles about the tier use case early on the papers were
calling tier Hughes the hotel room killer and there were headlines such as I'm not a monster I am not Jeffrey
Dahmer the peoples for justice is basically an organization that is probably fighting
and lobbying for a lot of things uh Victim Advocacy type things but one thing that they are truly fighting for is
stiffer penalties and sentences for murders the general problem here is that murderers do not receive a lengthy
enough of a sentence and most of what would be determined to be first degree murder in our country
most of these types of crimes get reduced to simple manslaughter charges in Canada
resulting in the offender receiving a shorter sentence for taking someone's life Dan has been corresponding
with a man who he went to high school with the man was housed at the reman center
waiting for a court date one day this man his name is Dawn he tells Dan guess who I'm I'm being housed with I'm being
housed with the hotel room killer Sydney Tyrus one of just many strange and bizarre
things about Tyrus in this case zupanski said tyracuse facing murder charges waiting for a
court date in this situation would have been strongly advised to not discuss the
case with anyone especially the media tier Uso seemed to enjoy the attention and he was granting
interviews almost immediately after his arrest Dan asked Dawn if he could work to build some type of
rapport with tear Hughes get to your Hues to believe that they may even be friends and see if he could get tier
Hughes to talk with Dan at the time had a radio show called off the cuff it was an interview Style Show
covering all kinds of topics well in this case has to be huge on a couple levels one the gruesome nature of the
crime but two the connection with this big movie star in this big movie Set yes it is it would have been bigger news and
this is coming from several Canadians perspectives this would have been bigger news had it occurred in a city like
Toronto or Vancouver right but not so CD well yeah and the thing is to put it in
its simplest form the way it's been explained to me is unless a crime or a murder happens in
one of those two cities it's just not well covered through the media it doesn't get the amount of media
attention that it would Garner and those other those bigger cities right the simplest
introduction from dawn to get tier Hughes to talk with Dan zupanski would just be to see if tier Hughes would like
to be a possible guest on Dan's radio show this is the tactic that they're going to
use because they already know at this point that tier Hughes seems to be enjoying these interviews and is more
than willing to talk with the media well Ray and when he's talking to the media I
think he's also trying to get more attention by making statements like I'm not a
monster yes this act that I did was monstrous but I'm not a monster I'm not Jeffrey Dahmer and and when you
in a crime case you mentioned the word or the name Jeffrey Dahmer that's going to get more attention well when this
gets set up Dawn does get tear used to agree to talk with Dan zupanski this leads to Dan
corresponding with tear use and then taking a meeting with him Sydney tier Hughes his defense and
believe it or not it's a viable one in Canada in 2003 2004 and so on at the time
his defense basically is yes he did Kill Robin green but it was not premeditated
murder because tear Hughes had been using drugs and was intoxicated he didn't remember the act itself and he
eventually turned himself in this making a strong argument for a charge of manslaughter not murder right strong
argument there not not here that wouldn't work here this would come with a pretty light sentence if someone like
tyracuse can get this horrible murder reduced to just a manslaughter charge and this in particular is what Dan
zupansky and his friends with that organization peoples for justice one of the things that they were fighting for
one this is one of their big ticket items that they're fighting for so a maximum penalty for what we what the
United States would call first degree murder the planned targeted Act of homicide in Canada the maximum one could
receive there is no death penalty the harshest punishment is life in prison with possible parole at 25 years
wow yeah I mean some of our states have the death penalty it's like honey we're going to take a vacation to Canada and
others that don't at least have life in prison without the possibility of parole
that's not even an option this is life in Parisian in prison with parole at 25 years
meaning you're going to get a parole hearing yeah that's I mean that's ridiculous I
mean and there's multiple crimes here like here we do a thing where you go okay well it's premeditated so it's first
degree murder but then also you have the mutilation of of the corpse charges to that
so possible parole after 25 years this is the strictest punishment one could be handed at the time in Canada
and that's across the board that's from C to shining sea the Canadian Federal government's Bill c-53 life means life
act would change this by making life imprisonment without parole a mandatory sentence for heinous murders such as
planned and deliberate murders of police officers or planned and deliberate murders while the accused is committing
sexual assault hostage taking or terrorism right so they could be charged with first-degree murder with no
possibility of Pearl the adjustment to that basically would be the lifers could eventually apply after 35 years to the
federal cabinet for executive release this bill c-53 would be a good step in the right direction I know there was a
lot going on with attempting to make this life means life act active last year I was you know not living in Canada
I was unable to confirm if in fact it is up and running by this time it doesn't actually appear to be so though so first
we have the issue of some monsters like Tyrus getting paroled after 25 years that sounds bad enough right but it
doesn't stop there when going to court we are going to have a few other very threatening options that could play out
here first off if his defense can prove that tear Hughes was drunk High messed up basically out of his element right
blacked out well then this would play to a reduction of what would be a murder charge to a much lesser charge of just
manslaughter also of course reducing the sentence to top all of that off they have something called double time
and I believe that's the proper term for it that's the term that would make sense
right okay so double time served for jail time while waiting for your trial plus they have concurrent sentences
instead of consecutive meaning if you're going to get 25 years for killing one person
well then if you killed three people you would get 25 years for each of those three people you killed for a total of
75 years right but because you have concurrent sentences you can serve out all of those sentences at the same time
so truly only really spending 25 years in prison that is horseshit so basically it doesn't matter if I kill one person
or two people you'd think like you know as far as like serial killers go you let's say you killed five people and
then you go well okay so we're gonna have you um charge and these were all premeditated so you get first degree
murder so each one carries a 25-year sentence but you can serve all those sentences at the same time
the best example that I could offer up on the fly right here would be Robert Picton so Robert Picton is a Canadian
who is convicted of six murders I believe it's six murders he suspected of many more right convicted of multiple
murders receives 25 years for each one of those murders he's only going to have to serve 25 years total he doesn't get
you know he's we're not tacking all these together and doing them consecutively which should be 150 years right and
thank God he'd be dead by then but he's a real asshat but there's a lot of names
you could call that uh individuals ass hat is what I'd call them so we talked about the state of the body when
they found it first off without getting too too graphic I think we're already past that well
here's the other I'm trying to go through the whole idea of is Tyrus lying about the fact that he
was that he was drunk and drugged up and out of his element right well we know he's at the bar drinking we do know that
and we could spend a good amount of time going through what has been reported that he was drinking or taking that day
but to be honest with you and we played that clip there it's really all over the shop right the
different reports state that he took or smoked or ingested different things so I
don't think that that's key here to really try to analyze if in fact we believe he was messed up not from that
angle we can do it on the opposite angle and again without trying to get too too
graphic but of course it will have to be somewhat so think about the amount of time
just for a second just stop and think about the amount of time it would take to do all of that
to a body right so just how out of it could this hotel monster be at the time well also what we have in
the states I don't know if it's different in Canada but premeditation you know when you hear that clip from
the lawyer it's like premeditation to them almost seems like he had to plan this when he met him at the bar oh I see
you came into the bar now I met you now I'm planning this all out in my head where we have kind of uh determined in
the United States that premeditation could be your in an argument with somebody heated and decide well I'm
going to go out to my car and get a gun and and within that small window of time
you have now you know basically created a plan meaning there was premeditation correct them am I correct in this no
you're spot on I mean there are situations where within seconds we determined that previous it's a
premeditated murder right and I think unless you can prove I think it would be more on the on the defense to prove that
this uh monster you know this boner face is was in a state of you know being blacked out or a
drug-induced um psychosis state or something like that but think about the cuts too
not just all of the time that it would take to do that to a body the yeah the cuts themselves this is not easy to do
not only is it a lengthy amount of time it's not an easy task to do this would take some level of skill tyracuse was a
chef for a long time that would help but this would take a lot of time and some skill to perform this act if tier use
was truly as out of it as he claims to have been this would have been even sloppier and the labor involved
a drunken High man would have gave up at some point before doing so much post-mortem mutilation to the body right
I think the premeditation there's not only just premeditation on the murder but I think there was premeditation on
how I'm going to eventually get out of this you know and what what's my excuse going to be also I don't think that we
have said this but all of the organs were removed these were never recovered so that in itself is some evidence that
a portion of this story is missing from this narrative that Sydney tyrcus is putting forth about the actual murder
yeah I don't mean to be more gruesome than we already are but you know I would do
a little bit of you know Furniture rehab or or you know take an old piece of furniture and and redo it repaint it
or whatever and just you take like a simple dining room table to saw the leg there had to be individuals in this
hotel that he's renting these rooms that heard these noises happening that heard something and that
would give us a little bit more of a timeline because like you said I mean just the dissection of the body
I think they're prob probably be ways to prove that it took over an hour and one and then when did that go
towards the evidence that this was all premeditated according to tear Hughes Robin green died at 6 20 P.M
