[Music] July 23rd, 2003, a Wednesday, a hot humid mid-summer day. James E. Davis, the New York City Councilman from Brooklyn's 35th district arrives at the west entrance of City Hall around 140 p.m. He's with a guest.

Like James, the man is black. He's handsome, and he's dressed in a suit. The City Council is about to hold its known as a stated meeting. Recountable members introduce him vote on legislation.

"We've been through City Hall on the day of a stated meeting. There's always a large crowd of people.

I definitely remember seeing James in the parking lot and heading-

Michael McMahon is a council member from Staten Island." "So as we came into the security police out there where they had the mutt magnetometers, we all got waved through and I remember seeing James in coming through with him." The magnetometers are the metal detectors at the security desk. James Davis doesn't pass through them and neither does his guest, Neil asks you.

Technically, it's against the rules, but it's typical, a courtesy for the council members in the mayor. Both men are carrying concealed weapons. Dan Janison is a reporter for New York News Day. He's headed out to lunch when he runs in the James and his guest at security. "We walked through the metal detector. James Davis is there.

I said, "How you doing councilman Davis goes into like a boxing couple of things. Is that I'm fighting? I'm going to stay in there. I'm going to stay in there." There's a Democratic primary answer, Timber. James Davis is up for reelection, and he's got some competition, but he's a fighter. The other guy says, "Oh yeah, he's permanent."

Whatever the hell I have left. "What does it mean that James Davis is permanent?"

Especially on this day, July 23rd, 2003,

because in less than 30 minutes, it'll be dead.

A silver, 40 caliber handgun was recovered at the scene.

"How could this have happened to City Hall? Somebody tell me that." "Was it a coincidence?" "Fuck every who did it." It was times when I thought that he was unstable, and there were times when I got maybe you shouldn't carry a gun. "It was an innocent kid from the island. It was closet. His parents were accepted."

"He alleged he was in victim of flat mouth."

"This is not just killing somebody because you want this seat."

"That may or may not have been political. That may have been about sex."

"And it's still misunderstood or not understood after all these years."

"Yo, somebody got to tell this Jamesy Davis story. The fullness of that story has not been told." This is a story about something that happened over 20 years ago. It was a shocking thing, horrifying and violent tragic. But the way it was explained at the time was simple, and maybe for that reason it was reassuring. People heard that story and they accepted it and they moved on. And now it's pretty much forgotten, except by those who were there or close to the people involved.

And more than 20 years later, they still have questions. "I'm Jamala Jordan, and this is Worshack, murder at City Hall." Frankie Adozian covers City Hall for the New York Post. One of the big tabloid newspapers.

People who were professional politicians who were running campaigns, and everybody is

coming to this cow at City Hall to milk her. And you have a front receipt to all of that. Frankie Adozian arrives at City Hall around the same time as James Davis in his guests, just after 140 p.m. "I noticed James as I was walking up the top of the stairs, and he was talking to a guy who was dressed in a suit very nicely. James called me older, but I wasn't really interested in stopping her talk to him because I was thinking about all the stories that I was going to try

and get into the paper the next day." Frankie lives in Fort Crane in Brooklyn, and Davis is his councilman. He's very present in the district. The kind of politician is seen to know everyone in the neighborhood. In James' way to meet over and he introduces me and he says this is something to the effect of this is the guy from the neighborhood I wanted you to meet or something like that. But I took a look at

Art Nill. Art Nill asks you, or Nill, as he's called, is James Davis's guest. I'm right. Notice he was wearing a really nice suit, well-fitted pocket squares. I was looking at his buttons, and I decided to have a conversation right and I was asking, "Oh, what street are you on? Do you know this? Do you know that?" And he seemed very, very curious. I wasn't sure why James wanted to introduce me to someone who wasn't being talkative. On the day that was

a rather busy day for me. So Frankie Adozien continues on into the council chamber and takes this seat at the press table off to the side on the council floor. Charles Barron represents the 42nd district, East New York and Brooklyn. He's a more radical figure in New York politics. The council member, but as he says, still a black Panther at heart. I had a press conference that day and I was on the steps of city hall when James Davis came in.

I saw James, I said you want to say if you were, as he said, "Yeah, James walks over with this guest." And when he introduced him to me, I coiled back. I said, "Whoa," and he said, "No, no, no, no, Charles." He used to be, I didn't know him. He used to be against me, Charles, but now he's with me. I said, "No, I didn't know where he was, I just got a vibe." I said, "Whoa." Charles is taking him back, but James tells him, "Don't worry, he's a military guy."

Then the moment passes. And then Charles heads up to the second floor to his seat in the council chamber.

James and Neil make their way to the Rotunda, where a pair of staircases lead to the second floor. We start all meetings off with ceremonies, proclamations that give an out. In this case,

There was a little princesses of the Bronx Puerto Rican tape parade, you know...

year olds in the crowns and the T-Ares. Gary Altman is the legislative council. It's his job to organize these ceremonies that run in prior to the council meeting. So I'm off to the side on the chamber. And I know there's an arm around me and it's James, and he says, "Hey brother, like what's going on?" Gary tells James, he should join a photo app as well as the community groups.

He's with a guy, no idea who it was, wearing a suit. And he turned to the guy and says, "Go sit over there." Then he got in the picture, good for him, it's an election year, you know, or all, mum, an apple pie. Gary's 21-year-old daughter, Ariel, was in the council chambers today, sitting up in the balcony. My brilliant daughter, who was working for Betsy Gottbaum

in the public advocate to office that summer, or so, kind of seeing me in action for the first time.

Gary goes back to his business, keeping the meeting on track. After the photo app, James moves around the floor, introducing his guests to some council members. I sit down on my desk, and they get a slap on my back, and they look up and change days. He was a backflopper, and I get up and we're joking around and talking about the issue. City Councilman Joe Davo is chatting with James when he noticed the other man.

James is guest.

"I'll never forget the safe, a very angry, very ugly face, and just your disorder to kind of hang me

face any, I couldn't even look at him, and then they hit the gavel to stop the session, and that's when James's baby's turned around to that individual to say, "Okay, let me catch up to his in the gallery, and then we'll stop."

The gallery is a balcony where guests and council staff can sit and watch the meeting.

You get there by a small marble staircase just outside the door to the council chamber. On their way to the stairs, James and Neil run into councilman Hyram Montera. Like pretty much everyone else, Montera, since it's something is off about Neil asks you. "It's I've seen to me large, almost bugged out, and I looked at him, he looked at me, and I felt like he was a little nervous."

But again, James Davis is acting like everything is fine. "He introduces me to Mr. asks you, and he told me, "Oh, this guy was running against me, "or now we're good. I said, "Oh, good, good, good." So we had to be inside the chambers, and he sent me Hyram, "Let me take him up to the balcony, I'll be right down."

So I think I was the last person to utter a word to James before he went up the stairs. I know my daughter was in the balcony, and I looked up and I was surprised to see James and the sky, and now they're up in the balcony inches from my door, but it meant nothing. "I don't think anything up it." The meeting is about to begin. From the council floor,

councilman Tonya Bella sees James Davis up in the balcony, and it seems strange to him, like something's wrong. "It's sort of motion to him, like, what are you doing up there?"

And I'll never forget this, because I was wondering,

then I should I go up to you and see what's going on, and something distracted me from doing that. "Counselman Joe Adabo." There was an argument, you know, a verbal argument up in the gallery,

and we all looked up, and I'll never forget it was Miguel Martinez, who stopped behind me,

and he jumped to James Davis, he said, "Hey, you know everything up there?" And James Davis leaned over the balcony, and he puts two thumbs up, and he says, "Yeah, we'll find, we'll find two thumbs up." And we'll step back down, and then the first shot right now. "We see the shots, and I remember everyone stopped."

"Counselman, high-run months-run." "Everyone was, I think, in a state of shock, and I screamed, "Get down, get down, those are shots, those are shots, get down." "I knew the shots were coming from the balcony. My perception at the time was someone was shooting down from the balcony."

And boom, pretty sure that someone yelled balcony. "From where he's now sitting, Gary Alman can't see up into the balcony." "Like to what is up there, with my door, I can't see her." "I heard a shot go off, Councilman, Charles Baron." "Several shot, pah, pah, everybody in the chambers ducked,

"and went down and stopped scattering to get out there." "I looked up, and I saw a silver gun in the shooters' hands, "and he was shooting down with somebody who was on the floor, "so I couldn't see who it was, and everybody said, "Baron, get in."

"Then there was a brief pause, and I remember a rush,

"like a stampede. "This is a real time, this is not a TV movie, this is happening live." "So I'm literally crouching down the floor,

"and I'm looking, and I see a stampede of legs.

In 2023, former Bachelor Star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal.

"The family court hearings that followed revealed

"glaoring inconsistencies in her story. "This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth." "You doctor this particular test twice in silence, correct?" "I doctor the test once." "It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case."

"I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for." "Some like the greatest disinfectant." "They would uncover a disturbing pattern, "to more men who'd been through the same thing." "Break a lesbian, I can imagine it."

"My mind was blown. "I'm Stephanie Young. "This is Love Trap." "Bora, Scottsdale Police."

As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.

"Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at a Maricopa County "as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges." "This isn't over until justice has served in Arizona." "Listen to Love Trap podcast on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts."

"I became a millionaire overnight but lost everything that actually mattered." "Wait a minute, Sophia, did you just say he lost everything?" "That's right, it's an aridding too much drama week on the okay story-time podcast, so we'll find out soon." "This person writes, "I just inherited a fortune after losing my mom.

"And now my girlfriend's entire family is coming out of nowhere with their hands up." "One sibling wants me to fund their whole lifestyle. "Another vanished for four years and suddenly reappeared. "And my girlfriend is already giving my money away." "Hold on, Sophia, so the girl he wants to marry is already sending money out the door."

"And that's just the beginning."

"He makes a plan, sets up a trust, and finally thinks he has everything under control."

"Okay, so things work out then?" "Let's just say the people he trusts to the most are the ones who ended up shocking him to most." "To just the money end up being worth going through all this." "And find out, listen to the okay story-time podcast on the IR radio app, Apple Podcasts, "or wherever you get your podcasts."

I'm Lori Siegel, a longtime tech journalist, and consider my new podcast mostly human, your bridge to the future. "Anyone can now be an entrepreneur, anyone can build an app, and it's very empowering." "Each week, I'll speak to the people building that future, and we're going to break down what all of this innovation actually means for you."

"What I come to realize is that when people think that their dating is AI companion, they're actually dating the companies that create this." "We're experiencing one of the greatest tech accelerations in human history, and let's be honest, that can be messy." "There's no playbook for what to do when an AI model hallucinates a story about you."

"But it's my belief that we should all benefit from this moment. Mostly human will show you how. My goal is to give you the playbook, so you can benefit." "The reason I say agency is because, like, if you can give power back to people,

then I think that's probably the best thing we can do for your mental health."

"Listen a mostly human on the IR radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows." "If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds, what do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend."

"Obviously, you kind of see overwhelming favorite in this tournament, but I'm the honest. I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas." Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to you con, and that right after that would be Texas. "SNC is so deep and so thick and just about everything, I really is annoying."

"So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only once I can possibly upset you con." On flagrant and funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments the conversations everyone's having, so whether you're bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament. "We got you."

"Listen to flagrant and funny with Carrie, champion and gemel heal on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you picture podcasts." "Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports." "You know Roll Doll, the writer who thought of Willy Wonka, Matilda, and the BFJ, but did you know he was also a spy?"

"Was this before? He wrote his stories? I must have been."

"Our new podcast series, the secret world of Roll Doll, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters

of his extraordinary controversial life."

"His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans, and he was really good at it."

"You probably won't believe it either." "Okay, I don't think that's true." "I'm telling you, because that was a spy." "Did you know Doll got cozy with the Roosevelt's?" "Play poker with Harry Truman, and had a long affair with a congresswoman."

"And then he took a sound to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney, and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film." "How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever?"

"And what darkness from his covert past, seeped into the stories we read as k...

"The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote."

"Listen to the secret world of Roll Doll on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

get your podcast." "Giford Miller is just 33 years old." "He's the youngest speaker in the history of the New York City Council." "He's at his podium in the middle of the room when the shooting starts." "My back was to the balcony, and I heard fireworks going off, and I was like,

had it's really weird that somebody's setting off fireworks in the chamber." "I actually remember thinking sort of like, maybe their fireworks, but maybe they're not fireworks, and if they're not fireworks, this is really bad, and I need to get down." "So I've died underneath the desk."

"I remember being down there with David Wepprin, we're like underneath the desks,

and we're like cowering." "Counselman, David Wepprin." "I ducked under with Gifford Miller, who was a speaker, I was right behind him, and he kept saying, "with my security detail, with my security detail." "So the answer to that question was, Carl was downstairs having lunch."

"Because we were in City Hall, and we wanted the most protected locations in New York." "Okay, so we'll take you through the steps of the shooting. We'll start off with,

let's come in here for a second. Where are we now? Again, we are right now. We are in the

speaker's quarters here. The speaker's office is in through there." "In July, 2003, there are two men assigned to this security detail for Speaker Gifford Miller. One of the New York City Police officer named Richard Bert, and the other is this man, Carl Diablo. "They have sat here, and this was their office. At the time of the shooting, I was coming out of that bathroom. So I came in at that bathroom,

but I had my jacket in hand, and I got to this point here, the door entry,

when the first shot went off. I dropped my jacket. I remember very vividly being right here.

"Jack, it was dropped. Now you can hear how much the spec goes." "So the next shot's bring out here. Rush up to the top of the steps here." "Gifford Miller had thought it might be fireworks. But Carl knew exactly what he was hearing." Carl had worked in the narcotics division at the NYPD before joining the security detail at City Hall. "And made a case to narcotics in the age, and it's the height of the crack error. I was up and

watched the heights, so we were executing two or three search words a day. I don't remember search words that we did, there wasn't a gun involved. So you were either fighting with someone that had a gun or fighting for your life at some point, you know, going through that one,

guns blazing. And yeah? "Who do you ever hit?" "I was never hit, no."

"Did you ever hit someone?" "Yes, absolutely." "So Carl knew the sound of gunshots. And when he hears the men's city hall, he snaps into action." "So when I get to this point here, people are coming down, frankly, now the steps." "And at the top of the steps, Carl sees Councilman Jimmy Otto at the door to the chamber, and inside, Gifford Miller, the man Carl's assigned to protect."

"Gifford Miller was at the podium there. Hold this door over here. This is where Gifford is standing. So now, when the shots were out, by self and Jimmy Otto at that door." "Net fraction of a second, as you're trying to process, what was that sound?" "Counselman Jimmy Otto." "I'm just looking in and seeing my colleagues all on the ground looking up and there's Mike McMahon and his steps literally hiding behind the Thomas Jefferson statue,

the face of it." "Then Otto sees Richie Bert, the other member at the security detail, standing on the floor at the council chamber, firing his service pistol." "Both hands on his gun and just sort of wielding around what his gun in his hands and I was like, like, "God, like, why is going on?" And I remember Gifford Miller looking up and like, me seeing him and I was pushing the door and saying, "Come."

"The speaker drops here and he's on the floor and Jimmy Otto is yelling to him to get up and get out. I'm yelling to the speaker. No, stay down. I'll come and get you."

"So I run in to grab him.

detective Burke is possibly here. Still done in-hand covering as we leave the chambers. "I literally, probably, I'll be using you as an example." "I'll be a good guy." "I literally have the speaker, I want to grab your collar. Buy his collar here. Just like this. And I don't think his feet hit the ground to be honest with you." They hustled me out the door and it was like, you know, like all those movies you see where

like the secret service guys were like kind of almost carrying. It was like that. I remember

that was what I was thinking. It's like, "This is crazy." "Some of the drones going and I'm moving him to the room." And out. Yeah. Because the meeting had only just started, Frankie Dozian is the sole reporter in the chamber at the time. I was seated at the press table and then I just heard the shots and I looked up to where they were coming from and it was a guy dressed in a suit with a handgun shooting. I was sitting next

to what is called a sergeant on arms. The sergeant in arms is supposed to keep the piece at public hearings. But they don't carry a weapon. And I remember with the lady she held on to me

really tightly and we went under the table and then the first thing that I did was even with the

sergeant that I'm holding me and trying to keep me down. I picked my head up and looked out again at what was happening. Grab my pen and my notebook. Because I wanted to continue writing notes, just in case this was something. Of course it was something but that's sort of like what you think about. It's like you are not you at the time. You are the person to record this for history. The city often video tapes these meetings. The footage from July 23rd starts with the business

of a typical day. First of all I would like to thank everyone for this beautiful invitation

to the council today. But a few minutes later this camera captures the moment when the shots ring out. The city council chamber was constructed at the beginning of the 19th century. Designed so that voices would carry like an old theater. In the room these shots are incredibly loud and to the people inside it feels like they could be coming from anywhere and everywhere. Councilmember Christine Quinn. It sounded like tons of bullets. It just sounded like it was a battle.

Councilmember Eric DeLine. Everything in that train but Echoes so you can imagine the gunshots echo one. So it's feel like you were going to catch a heart attack that you just go into survival mode.

Then always appreciate from the wall behind me. I felt like I went through me. I thought that I had died inside.

Debbie Almantosar is a teacher and activist. She's sitting near the little girls from the Bronx

Puerto Rican day parade pageant. I remember cram blinding at all of those little girls that were near

me out of that chamber room. I scrambled them with me into the bathroom and I put them on the toilet seat and wanted to stop and then I told them to be very quiet because I didn't know what to expect. Gunshots have ceased. We have no idea what happened. All hell has broken loose. Councilmember's staffers scattered completely all over the floor. Under deaths people screaming nobody knows what happened. I suffered food as we ran out. So now. Why are you feeling

going on this? How am I feeling? Yeah. Wasn't my first shooting so. It wasn't like we didn't

have it done this before. Okay. So we come out here and now we're going down the steps. Okay. Richie Bert had come from the council chamber. He had just fired six shots up at a man in the balcony. Carl has all the carrying getford miller down the stairs. Now through you then make their way to a small anti-chamber just outside this because of this. We grant him and we are forcing him on the desk. Richie Bert, is that this desk done in hand? I'm at this

Desk going at hand.

shoes of death. He has no idea. I could see a little bit of shock. Miss face right now so we're trying

to climb them down. It's a gritty. You take that entrance. I'll take that entrance if they come through

as it's just empty, empty, your gun as we're going out. Just empty it. Councilman Robert Jackson is among the small group of people who have barricaded themselves in this picker's office. Somebody says they're shooting. We went directly into the speaker's private office and then I heard banging on the door like this. Open up, open up, open up. It was two police officers, not in uniform, and they had their guned out. So what happened was the

staff from here, barricaded themselves in here, and it's the speaker's office. So I'm knocking on this glass here. Then my hand was trying to get some of his textures to go through, nothing. There was a heavy weight, take this mess, that's heavy. I go to grab this mess to break through

the glass. As I know that, Barbara Spiffy, who was the secretary here, she opens the door.

So you almost hit Barbara with the tape? Definitely. So Barbara Spiffy is here. We come in myself for G and give another. So the whole time Giffy is saying, if you don't make it, tell my wife and my kids I love them, all this, all this drama. I'm all the ready over this time trying to give everybody an idea of what has happened and where we are in relationship to where the shooting is. There's a bathroom in his office. A bathroom door comes flying open.

He was another staffer in the bathroom, hiding in the bathroom. I don't know how we are by the grace of God and we didn't shoot, but she wants you to get me out this way, back into the room. Now we realize, hey, we're painting down in there. We have to get out. So there's a back door. We exit out through the back door, the three of us. We come out this back door here, just a back door. Carl Richie and Giffy Miller emerge in the North Side of

City Hall. It's a courtyard with trees and old-fashioned lamphouses. And across the street, past them gates, the tweed courthouse. We went right through here. This is the tweed to treat courthouse. Boss tweed, the famous 19th century Tammany Hall leader, ordered the construction of this courthouse in 1861. And embezzled heavily from its budget. When he was caught, the trial took place inside the unfinished building. It was completed as he served as sentence. Carl leads Giffy right inside with the

Richie can tell. So I go in there and I start giving orders to lock down the building that we have

a shooter, an active shooter inside a city hall. We go up to the second floor which I believe is there.

On the second floor window of the tweed courthouse, they could see rows that cars stopped in traffic.

It was a light there and you could see from that angle, people leaving their cars and running. Don't forget this is after 9/11. So nobody knew what kind of attack this was. I called my wife and said you're gonna get some bad stuff, but I'm okay. In 2023, former Bachelor Star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story.

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. "You doctor this particular task twice in silence, correct?" I doctor the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. "I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for." Some likes the greatest disinfectant.

They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. "Break a recipe and I guarantee it." "My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap." "Bora, Scottsdale Police."

As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.

"Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at America for County as Laura Owens has been dated on fraud charges." This isn't over until justice has served in Arizona.
