Eddie & Wendy Osefo UPDATE/ I Spoke To One of Their Attorney's! #rhop #courtroom #bravotv

Añadido: 2026-05-22

[00:00:02]Hey y'all. Happy Thursday evening.

[00:00:05]Welcome to another What Else is Going On aka We Go Podcast YouTube video. I'm your girl, your host Teria. I'm checking in on you. How y'all doing? What y'all got going on? It is Friday evening. I hope that y'all are doing well.

[00:00:19]And if you're not, I hope that you are on your way to getting well and feeling well. So, for those of you that missed, um, I went live with Campire last night, as we always do after one of Wendy and Eddie Osteo status hearings, and there I talked about, you know, what went on in court and the conversation that I got to have with her attorney. So, I just wanted to do a video real quick just to recap that. So, for those of you who watch the campire, I was going to say you can skip this, but let it play for like two minutes so I can get the play and then hit like.

[00:00:56]And actually, we can have conversations in the comments because I wasn't really able to if if if you did watch Campires Live last night and you had any questions or even just comments. I was so focused on doing the live that I didn't really get to to see a lot of the comments. I caught some here and there, but I wasn't able to. But I wanted to go ahead and do this video. Y'all, I was so tired after court yesterday. I said, "Wendy and Eddie have to go home and literally take a nap unless anxiety keeps them up." I cannot imagine what it's like to be on trial for something that has serious consequences. Sometimes you may do something and you're like, "Ugh, you know what's going to happen if I do this or do that or make this decision?"

[00:01:40]But when you do when you are being charged with something of this magnitude and the wait in October, it'll be a year since they were arrested. Mind you, they've been being investigated since 20 2024.

[00:01:58]This is crazy. All right, so y'all, I got to court early, right? And I just want to say this. Thank y'all so much for your support. Your engagement, you enga even just engaging with me, whether it's on Instagram, whether it's on thread threads, whether it's on Twitter, y'all engaging with me is supporting me.

[00:02:16]Even if we disagree, have a difference of opinions. I appreciate y'all doing that. Um, I've been on Instagram for I don't know how long. And yeah, I don't post over there all the time like I should, I still haven't broke 10,000, which is crazy to me. I need y'all to get over there and follow me on Instagram if you are not. Uh, but anyway, I appreciate the cash apps when I tell y'all the cash apps, the zels, Venmo, the super chats. I appreciate y'all. Y'all, I always forget. I live in Maryland. For those of y'all that live in Maryland watching this, you could probably attest to this. Sometimes you forget just how far things are in Maryland. Like, there are certain places in Maryland. I live in Baltimore County.

[00:02:54]I could literally get to DC before I get to certain places. And so, y'all know I do ride share. I stopped driving early yesterday to get to the courthouse on time, be there early because I wanted to park right in front of the building. Y'all be forgetting how long that drive is.

[00:03:12]There's a place called Owings Mills. For those of y'all that live in Maryland, you probably know it's like almost like it's like on 695. You have to take that exit to get to Carroll County. You still got another 22 minutes and Owings Mills is like 40 minutes from my house. I just it was like at one point I said this seemed like they they moved the courthouse cuz I'm still driving. But anyway, I thank y'all for y'all support whether it's for lunch, for coffee, for gas, for anything. I don't take it for granted. Listen, in today's economy, whether you got it, even if you got it to spare or you don't and say, "Well, I'mma do a little shoot her a little over here." I appreciate it because you could be doing so many other things with your money. I mean, Starbucks is like $10. Well, maybe not.

[00:03:56]I don't drink Starbucks, but it's a lot of money. Listen, even Duncan is raising their prices. So, I appreciate y'all.

[00:04:01]So, I'm driving there. I get there super early. I got my heels in my bag. You know, I want to put on my earrings, my little lip gloss, just a little bit of MAC lip gloss, you know, just do whatever. So, I'm sitting there, y'all.

[00:04:13]I got there at like 12 20, right? Because y'all, I had bubble I like I felt like I had bubble guts. And it's not even me on trial. Do any of y'all get that like secondhand for somebody? It's not even me. And I was like so nervous for them like what's going to happen today? What's going on?

[00:04:29]So I can't imagine how they felt. So I went to the Wendy's to use the bathroom down the street and then I went back.

[00:04:36]Well, I went there first and I came to the courthouse, got my park. Your girl is from Jersey and had to parallel park on her driving test, y'all. And I whipped that. I can parallel park. Every once in a while I do it just to keep in practice. Anyway, so I parallel park, pay for the parking meter. I do 3 hours, $1.95. Okay, 3 hours. And I'm looking and I see a guy with like it it looked to me like a long lens camera. It was a camera and then it had the long thing on it, right? So I see a guy and then I see another guy standing next to him. So I look at them, they look at me as I'm in my car and I'm like, so I text my girls, my sisters in arms, Chantel, Purple Panda Pants, and Paging Dr. Pam. Um, because we've been there, me and Dr. Pam met at the very first one. I think Shantel came to either the second or the third one. So we've been there together. Make sure you go check out their pages. Paging Dr. Pam on Tik Tok. She is so funny. She's a therapist.

[00:05:35]She's been on the channel. Um, love her down. Um, she got a really funny video.

[00:05:41]It was funny. So, check out her page.

[00:05:43]And then Chantel Purple Panda Pants. Uh, she covered Karen's trial as well. So, make sure y'all check their pages out.

[00:05:49]So, um, I text them and I was like, "Y'all, why are cameras here?" And I sent us I took a picture of the camera guy, not their face, just the guy sent it to them. And so, Dr. Pam said, "Go talk to them." I saidm, "I have on heels." And I said it because people I don't think people would probably know this since I'm like sitting in front of camera in front of a camera and want to do this and if people go by the astrological signs Aries you know they say they're outgoing they're fiery they're this I have a side to me that is very can be shy and nervous especially when I feel like I'm in a in an arena where people can judge me for not being a part of a bigger company. You know what I mean?

[00:06:29]like a Baltimore Sun, like the banner, any of that. And I know that's just something that I'm working through to not be insecure about. So, I feel like they may think I'm walking up to them like, "Who are you to be talking to us?

[00:06:41]We we have some letters behind our name." But I realizing that I like what I do. I feel like I'm pretty good at it and I'm just going to keep doing it. But anyway, so that was part of the reason why I was nervous to get out and talk to them. Right. Time is ticking. I'm waiting for Chantel. I'm waiting for Dr. Pam. I'm taking y'all through it all. I want y'all to be there with me. Right. So, I'm like peeking out the window. All of a sudden, I see a guy and then another guy and the one guy has an actual camera, like a video camera, the big one. So, that's when I posted like there's camera people out here. Did Wendy call them? Right. I'm joking, but I'm serious. I'm thinking child Wendy called the press. She wow for that. That this is what I'm thinking, right? Or her people called the press. So, then I was like, remember that episode of Martin?

[00:07:27]He was like, "Be a man. be a man. So I was like, "Be a woman's right. Get out.

[00:07:30]You get out and talk to them." So I got out and I went to talk to the guy from the Baltimore banner because I remembered him from before. So I'm like, "Hi, are you here for the Wendy trial?"

[00:07:38]He was like, "Yeah, you were here before, right? You have like a podcast or YouTube." And I told him my name. I got his name again. We shook hands. And then another guy, I think from the Sun came up, which was the guy that I saw earlier, and we're all talking about it.

[00:07:50]Right.

[00:07:51]Mind you, the road that you have to turn down to go to the courtroom, you make a left.

[00:07:56]The courtroom is on the left if if you come in that way the way I came in.

[00:07:59]Courtroom's on the left and you can park right in front if you get there in time.

[00:08:04]And when I say across the street, it's not far. Y'all probably saw from the videos that were being posted. It's not a, you know, it's a hop, skip, and a jump from. So, I'm standing in front of the courtroom fa my back to the courtroom facing the street. Didn't realize that it was the Bravo cameras, the guy sitting right next to me, right?

[00:08:21]He's sitting on the step. Didn't realize that. I'm talking to the two gentlemen next to me from the Baltimore Sun and the Baltimore Banner. We're talking, we're talking, we're talking. Chantel gets there. So, there's a woman um shout out to Donna. Donna has a dog named Griffin. Um it's a service animal. And she has been coming to here. She lives in Carol County. So, shout out to Donna.

[00:08:43]Donna comes with her dog. I am afraid of dogs.

[00:08:47]Maybe I need Caesar. I don't know. But I I just So I see the dog. I'm like, "Hey." I still say, "Hey," you know, to the dog, whatever. She comes up. So we're all standing on the sidewalk. All of a sudden, like I said, Chantel, come.

[00:09:02]Shout out to Chantel and her wife Nikki.

[00:09:04]They come and we see a black SUV. So remember before I told y'all there was no black SUV back March 4th. There was a black SUV today. I said, "Hm." All of a sudden, the camera, the regular camera, and the c like they start to get up, the SUV goes around the corner and sits there for a minute, right? So, I seen a guy, I think, texting on his phone or or what have you, who now I know is from Bravo.

[00:09:34]And I was like, I didn't think anything of it. Just like, hm. All of a sudden, the van I mean the SUV truck pulls back around the corner and then the cameraman gets up and then the video guy gets up. The video guy's like almost in the road like with the video like look like like this the camera y video camera like this on his shoulder, right? So I'm like what's going on? This is where I said it's so funny and I'm going to take it as a sign to me and I'mma drop y'all. I'mma drop this nugget for y'all. So, I was standing on the sidewalk with everyone else, right? Because again, there's a part of me that's also feels weird doing it. But I was like, if I was with ABC News or a news station, I wouldn't feel weird. So, why are you feeling weird now? So, I'm on the sidewalk like this, y'all. Right. And then something said, "Go up the steps to where the courthouse doors are." So, I said, "I'mma go up the steps." I go up the steps thinking I'll have a perfect shot of them coming up the steps this way, but I'm off to the side. So, I go up the steps, but like here's the building. So, I go up the steps and go off to the side thinking they're going to come right up the steps.

[00:10:47]Why did they Y'all saw the video I posted come around the ramp, which gave me the perfect shot of them. And in that moment, I thought to myself, I said, "It's so funny. I thought that I should be standing down there with everybody else." And when I went up by myself, I was a little nerv I don't know why I was a little nervous to go up there by myself and be videoing. Sometimes you think you are not in the right place, but stay where you are and it's going to come right to you. Because when I tell you I felt like they were walking straight towards me, y'all. So I had the perfect shot, but then I also got nervous. My butt cheeks got tight. I'm like, I got this camera and they walking straight towards me. I was like, so then I cut the video off before uh they just walked in the door, right?

[00:11:30]So, they walk in. I didn't stay out anymore. Mind you, again, I didn't realize they were the Bravo cameras. I just thought they were from another outlet or whatever. So, they go in, I give them a couple seconds cuz I didn't want to be right up on them, right? So, then I go into the courtroom, too.

[00:11:44]They've already gone through the metal detector. I go through the metal detector and uh I go to take the steps and D's like, "You're not going to take the elevator?" I'm like, "Nah, cuz I knew if I had hit it right then, it would have opened and they would have been in there." And yeah, maybe. I ain't want I just No.

[00:12:00]Maybe next time. So then I go I walk up the steps. As I'm walking up the steps, I hear a door shut. Boom. It's a conference room. So I know im automatically they went into the conference room, right, with their attorneys. They've done that before. So I go out into a waiting area, the vestibule. So by this time, um, Chantel ends up coming up. Uh, Pam ends up coming up. And then I find out I heard Donna say the one uh the woman with the dog. I heard her say something about Bravo. I didn't pay no attention. What she was saying was those cameras were for Bravo. And I was like, "Oh, I had no clue." Again, I thought it was with an outlet. So, we're all sitting around waiting, right? Waiting for court to start. Was supposed to start at 1:00.

[00:12:46]Normally, they they pretty much start on time. So, we're waiting. The little guy comes out. Now, y'all know we had to make friends with the baiff last time.

[00:12:54]Listen, we going to be here. We don't want no tension. We ain't going to break no rules in your courtroom. I promise you. It was a different guy. He comes out. He says, "Hey, I just want to let you guys know. No phones in the courtroom." And I said, "Ulist, we know.

[00:13:06]We know the deal. You ain't going to get no trouble out of us. We want to follow the rules. We didn't know last time. You will have no trouble out of us." And he was like, "I understand." He said, "You know, cuz if the judge tells me to, if she sees it and tells me to take it, I have to take it. I don't want to be the bad guy." I said, "No, you're just doing your job." Like Diddy said, "You better be on your job." No. I said, "You just doing your job." I get it. I say it's gonna go right here and I have my purse.

[00:13:28]So, Dr. Pam comes up. I think Yeah, I said Dr. Pam is up there by the time.

[00:13:32]So, we're just kind of all waiting around, right? The And then the prosecutor comes up, very friendly woman. Prosecutor comes up, sees Pam's dog. I mean, sees Donna's dog. I said, "Donna think she's slick. Donna, if you watching, she be bringing that dog." She gets the conversation, right? So, the prosecutor is talking about says, "Hi, how are you?" you know, just very nice to Donna and her talking and then I say hello, whatever. She goes in, comes back out. So, like, what's going you know, what's going on? 1:00 we go into the courtroom. So, y'all, they have their bail. Now, normally every other time.

[00:14:09]Every other time when it's starting at 1:00, Wendy and Eddie are inside the courtroom with their attorney. Every other time. This time, not only are they not in there, their attorneys are not in there.

[00:14:22]and their attorneys are no longer in the conference room. Um, Dr. Pam had went out for a minute and the attorneys the prosecutor the prosecution and Wendy's attorneys are all out there laughing, kikiing it up, talking about grandkids and things. And it's it's interesting, right? When your job like once we go in these doors, ain't nothing personal. I'm going to do everything I can to beat you. But outside of this, we can talk about our grandkids because we know it's nothing personal. If any of y'all are watching that are attorneys, cuz many, many years ago, before I knew, I really wanted to be into broadcasting. I mean, there was a part of me that still wonders what would have happened if I had have decided to pursue being a defense attorney. But and that like I said that was I had that thought for about a year or so like in college but not really because I I knew deep down that this is what I really wanted to do and lawyer would being a lawyer would require a lot at the same time still wanting to do that but never and also never really saying that out loud because it seemed like such a big thing right but so um if any of y'all are watching that are in law is it easy for y'all to do that to turn it on and to turn it off.

[00:15:40]My goal in here is to beat you. Then when I come out, we all good. And does that make it hard to or is it do you turn on and turn off emotion? Because as a lawyer, you can't be emotional, right?

[00:15:51]Again, I'm here to defend my client.

[00:15:54]Even with the client, you can't be, you know. So, any of y'all in law, let me know. But, so I'm still wondering where they are because Wendy and Eddie are not out in the vest, but their lawyers are.

[00:16:04]And so me and Pam were talking and we wondered if they were filming something.

[00:16:10]Were they in the conference room on their phones filming something? Were they talking to to the Bravo cameras?

[00:16:17]I'm just wondering where they were for them cuz again, like I said, every other time they've been in the courtroom with their attorneys. This time their attorneys were keying and talking it up with the prosecution and they're not out there. They're somewhere else. So, I wonder if we'll see when the season airs if we'll see footage of them outside of them coming in the courtroom if we'll see like camera footage or some other type footage, right? If we'll see a confessional from the status conference room. No, I'm just kidding. So, we go I go out then to use the bathroom and good thing because by now we're looking at almost 2:00 and it was supposed to start at Well, they multiple cases are heard.

[00:16:58]Child, we heard bail reviews. child prisoners was coming in in chains and sh well in cuffs and shackles.

[00:17:05]Y'all, this one lady came in with her orange jumpsuit on and it said inmate something inmate something something on the back. She had her hands behind her back. She was cuffed and she did not get bail, but they said they were going to try to get her a trial as soon as possible in June. So, as she's walking out, her man uh he got on his wave cat says, "I love you, baby. That's I thought he said her name, but I think he I love you, baby.

[00:17:31]And she said, she walking out, I love you, too. Like, all this I said, this is interesting. But so, she walks out. So, I get out and as I'm getting up to go out to use the bathroom or to go out and see what's going on, another inmate walks in. He is shackled on his feet and hands behind the back. So, we go out, I use the bathroom, I come out. All of a sudden, it's like you hear heels. Here come Wendy, Eddie, and their attorneys. So we we all walking in at the same time into the courtroom. So we sit down. They said it was going to be quick. Y'all paid $1.95 for parking for their hear status hearing to last about not even five minutes. But you just never know, right?

[00:18:11]So they get up there.

[00:18:15]They're and it it's I think it was Eddie. I'm pretty sure it was Eddie and Wendy's attorney that said they're going to be codefendants. Now mind you, Eddie has attorneys and Wendy has attorneys.

[00:18:25]So, the attorney that I talked to, of course, they're all working together, obviously, right? But the one I talked to has always stood beside Wendy.

[00:18:33]Um, Wendy's attorney's name is Jeremiah Eldridge.

[00:18:39]Jeremy, I'm sorry. Jeremy Eldridge is Wendy's attorney. So, um, I So, they now say they're going to be co-defendants.

[00:18:48]And we looked at each other like, what code? Like, it seems like such a back and forth. Keep that in mind because we've been talking about this, remember?

[00:18:55]Like from what we've all thought it was separate together. Separate together.

[00:19:00]Keep that in mind. So, they're going to be co-defendants and their the judge says it was a it was a different judge this time. It was a female judge. And she says, so the court hearing, their trial is going to be January 24th through the 29th and the stat of 2027 and the status hearing January 13th.

[00:19:18]When she said January and then she said 24th through the 29th, I honestly in my mind processed it as July because I said no. And then she said it again. Now I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to hold you. I'm grateful because I got served this is funny y'all. Just a little side note. I got served jury duty or what? A summon for jury duty. I've never had one ever. Thought I had got away. So the date they gave me, I was like, it was in April, the week of my birthday. I could have done it. I said, "No, I ain't doing that." So I rescheduled. I forgot not to pick a Wednesday, right? Cuz I know Wendy and Eddie's trials are on Wednesdays and I need to be available to be the boots on the ground for y'all.

[00:20:01]Okay. So I I picked a date in July.

[00:20:06]I realized it was a Wednesday. I said, "Oh my gosh, I'm not going to be able to reschedule. If it's on that date, I'm just not going to go." And then the next day I'll go and be like, "Oh, I forgot why." There was one one of the one of the cases that came before Wendy. And Eddie was a man that had that didn't report for jury duty. But he did it like three or four times, but he got he got off good. He didn't get jail time or anything. Uh and I was like, "Oh, if all I got to do is write a letter, I'll be fine." So my brain processed it as July Child. It's January.

[00:20:35]It will be after a year. Because remember they got charged in October.

[00:20:39]when they were charged in October, they were given the date a trial date of April because that's speedy trial 180 days, right? So, they decide on that and then the judge asks if the judge confirms that Eddie waved his right to a speedy trial. Yes. And then asked if Wendy waved her right and the and they her attorneys were like no. But basically, they got waved by default because they're now going to be co-defendants.

[00:21:10]Okay.

[00:21:11]That was it. We left. I'm walking out. I think I went out in front of them. So, we go out in front of them. I'm not waiting for them. I Well, I'm going wait for them outside, but not in the courtroom or whatever. So, I go downstairs. That's when you saw the tweet about the update. So, I go outside and we're waiting, you know, for them to come out. So, of course, we catch them coming out or what have you. So, as we're waiting, Chantel decides to go live. Chantel and shout out to reality with V. Love V.

[00:21:42]They go live. So, now they're kind of like in the road. Chantel has her phone up and she's going live. I'm facing her waiting for her to be done. And I hear her say on her live, there's the the attorney or Wendy's attorney or either she either she said there's their attorney, there's Wendy's attorney. And I said, "Yo, I turn around so fast and in my heels when I tell you I hit the pavement, click, click, click, click, click, and I said, "Excuse me, excuse me." I got my phone in my hand like this and my mic and I'm like, "Excuse me, excuse me." I get on the sidewalk and realize, "Oh, either he's not hearing me or he's not saying anything. He's talking to the guy from the Baltimore banner, I believe." So I didn't want to walk up and intrude because I feel like if you see somebody talking to somebody.

[00:22:30]So I I was a couple feet back like there was about that much space between us and I'm waiting. Y'all I was already nervous, right? But you never let it stop you from doing doing what you need to get done. So he turned around and he says, "Did you need something?"

[00:22:50]I don't know if I felt like it was because it was a man or if it was like the tone to me. Did you need something?

[00:22:57]I said, "Oh, I ain't nervous no more." But I really was. I said, "Yes, I would like to ask you a couple questions. I know you can't talk case specifics."

[00:23:08]So, I had my phone like I I had it on the camera ready to record and he says, "Are we recording?" And I said, "I cannot if you'd rather not." He said, "I'd rather not." And I said, "Okay, no problem." Again, it wasn't recording anyway. So, I just closed the screen and he goes, "Mary is a two-party consent state." So, I said, "Okay." And I went to ask him a question. I said, "Let me go back. Thank you for the reminder."

[00:23:38]Cuz look, I was getting ready to record and then if I had a public, you know what I'm saying? Like, hey. So, I'm learning in this process. That's something I would have not thought of.

[00:23:48]Which is why, you know, some people say they don't if you're already out here doing something, whether it's this or something else, you don't need schooling. I also see the benefit of being in the classroom because there's things that you won't know unless you're in the classroom or unless you learn them while you're doing it. And sometimes if you make a mistake, it could be costly, right? So, I appreciated him for saying we're two party stateates. So the first question I asked him and at first I thought I felt like he didn't have an attitude or anything but he was very much he's very stern. I I like him.

[00:24:20]There's something about his presence that if I met with him I feel like I would feel secure at for an attorney right because he was very passionate to me when um they had that status hearing back in was it January I think or February one of those. So I said, "So there seems to," this is what I said. I said, "So that there seems to be when it comes to Wendy and Eddie being tried together, there seems to be a lot of back and forth, back and forth, them being tried together, them not being tried together." And he was like, "Well, there's no back and forth." He said, "Somebody got a hold of some paperwork and made it bigger than what it was." He said when they came in, they immediately were separate. And again, I'm I'm condensing cuz he did use a lot of legal terms, some of them, and I understood them while he was saying them, but to be able to recount them back to you. So, I'm giving you the gist of what he said because I I understood it. So, now I just have to seminate the information.

[00:25:19]So, basically, when they came in, they were going to be separate.

[00:25:24]That was already going to be that. And he said he always does that. But I guess when it's a case where it could be codefendants, they always do that because they don't know what discovery they're going to get. And as they get more into the discovery phase, then they may decide, oh, we're going to be try we're going to try them together or it makes sense to keep them separate. So I said there was a motion. He said, well, there was no motion filed. But remember y'all remember back in the beginning of all this when an article came out said Wendy said that Wendy was filing to not be a codefendant, right? There was a motion for them not to be a codefendant.

[00:26:04]When that came out, it wasn't any paperwork filed for her to be tried on her own because again, when the case initially started, they had already established they were going to be separate. Then they were going to be tried together. And I remember there was a motion filed for them to be tried together because the judge said that there was a motion for them to be tried together. But then I remember remember I told y'all we never heard anything more about it and then they proceeded as though they were separate for the rest of the status hearings. So they were separate initially going in. There was no paperwork filed. It was just decided. Then the the judge did bring up that he saw that there was a motion for them to be tried together. So there was basically only one motion filed. It wasn't a back and forth. They were separate. That's how they came in.

[00:27:04]Then later on down the line, they decided to be tried separately uh to together. The judge never ruled on that. Remember that the the judge never spoke about that motion and they still had their separate court dates. And then at the last status hearing in March, Eddie waved his right to a speedy trial. Wendy wanted hers faster. So, this is new information now that they're going to be co-defendants.

[00:27:32]They announced it to the judge. They're going to be codefendants. So, he said there was never a back and forth. There was the one motion that was filed.

[00:27:40]And again, I heard that in the courtroom. So, and he does that when there are cases where people could be codefendants. They go in separate until they get more discovery. So that was interesting because it did seem like there were a lot of motions being filed because he said you file they I forget the word he used but either file or all the cases go in a template pretty much and then they decide from there later on down the line again if they're going to be tried as codefendants. So they are going to be tried as codefendants. So I asked him well is this new to you trying a husband and wife together? Is this something that you've done before? He said no it's not new. He said yeah I have. He said he's done this. He's done families that could be a grandmom, a grandfa like grandmom, grandfather, cousin. Like he's done where families have been charged together. So this is not new to him cuz he's done that. So I said, you um from from what I've seen, you're high-profile attorney. This is what I said, right? So you you high people see you as a high-profile attorney. And he said, well, I'm glad that you think that. Thank you. But I don't see it that way. So, Dr. Pam, by this time, Dr. Pam had walked up. She was like such a I felt like she was such a support. Like, while I'm asking him all these questions, she was like there and I felt like her strength, right? When I started to get nervous again, I'm like because I didn't have any of these questions written down, y'all. They were just off the top of my head. When I saw that I had access to him, I was like, think, what do you want to know? So, when I said that I heard and felt like he was a high-profile attorney and he said, "Thank you. I'm glad you feel that way. I don't. Dr. Pam said, "Well, I actually spoke with someone um who spoke very highly of you. You handled their case." And he said, "Oh, I hope I did a good job." And Dr. Pam said, "You were able to get their case dismissed." And from what I understand, it was a pretty grim. Now, from what I understand, it was it was a grim case.

[00:29:39]And yet, he was able to get it dismissed.

[00:29:42]So, there's something. So I said, "Are are you used to so many eyes being on this particular case?" I said, "Yes, you've done high profile, but this is TV, you know, from the media to just everywhere." And he said he is he's definitely used to it. That's nothing new to him. And he actually advocates for it. He said he believes he loves the fact that courts are open and he thinks that outside of if a if it's like gruesome or a victim is involved, he thinks that camera should be allowed in the courtroom. He said the public should have access to all the information, not just what one side is putting out. So, not not just whether it's the prosecution or whomever, the public should have access to all the information because that's fair to the client because a narrative could be put out about the client and that's all the public sees. They don't get to see all of the information. So, he feels like there should be cameras in on all cases and he encourages people to come sit in um these trials. So, he thinks it's a good thing. So I was like, "Well, that's good to know, you know, for me being a, you know, considering myself being part of the media, that's good to know that he feels that way." Then I brought up, so I told him, I said, "Okay, this is" and like I said, the conversation went on a little longer just and he was giving different examples and stuff like that. But then I said to him, I said, "I loved how I said I believe it was their first or second status hearing." I said, "You addressed us. you address the media. I said because the prosecutor was throwing out statements like um and I said this to him. I said like the OEFos have very little money. They brought up the cost of her bag. I said and I like how you turned around and addressed the media and you called them out for throwing out statements. Is that something that you typically do? And he said yes because he believes that they should have a voice. He said it's not fair for the prosecution to get a snapshot of somebody's life and that become the narrative of who those people are or that's their life and and they don't have a voice. So he always speaks up and he said y'all again if you were on Kimire's live you saw this but if not then remind remember remember it's me and then Dr. Dr. Pam standing next to me and then himself in front of me. Right. So he says, and basically it's all relative. He said, "We can look at the prosecution. We can look at the prosecutor and see that she's probably not really into fashion." He said, "You're dressed very well. You're dressed very well. I'm dressed very well." So we're going to see it differently than her. So she is going to throw out a statement, "My most expensive purse, you know, is 300 versus Wendy." she's not going to she's not into that. So, her spin on it can be negative, right? Because that's not uh what she's about. And then he said in the case of the the six, he said she threw out the 67 credit cards. He said, and I can't remember if he said his father was either in the service or something.

[00:32:58]Either way, he said he has a box. He said, "I have a box full of old credit cards, expired credit cards." He said if somebody saw it they would think I was a fraudster but they're just expired.

[00:33:09]So he wanted to make sure that was cleared up with especially with the media being there because you know they're going to take these statements and run. That's what I'm saying. They're going to take these statements and run. He said so he wanted to clear that up and I said just like with the Pam Oliver and Eddie Hennessy and he said yeah. So he wanted to make sure that that was cleared up that again they had a voice and they weren't the public just wasn't getting one one side based on a snapshot. He said because we all come we all basically when it comes to these things we're all viewing them from our beliefs and and and what we're into and and our own like I say when we do these YouTube videos sometimes we or when we do commentary you're coming from a place of where you are. So maybe you've experienced it so you could be projecting or maybe just giving more insight. So he said basically we're we're all coming from a place of where you are. So again the prosecution is not really into fashion. So to her my most expensive purse is $300.

[00:34:12]This is $10,000. And he said, "A person can take a statement and pretty much make it seem salacious, whereas another person could take that same statement and just leave the statement as is."

[00:34:29]And you're like, "Oh, that's all it is."

[00:34:32]And I was like, "That's a good point."

[00:34:33]It made me think of when that article came out about them having the 67 credit cards and then it said they had aliases. Pam Oliver and Eddie Hennessy. Never once did that article say that they used aliases on those credit cards. But immediately I saw articles I saw posts b insinuating that they used aliases with these credit cards. And I remember and I I came down and told y'all that that's not what that article said. So like he said they took this the statement was true. They used Pam Oliver and Eddie Hennessy and they had 67 credit cards, but that's when he got into in the court. Some were expired, right? And they used Pam Oliver and Eddie Hennessy to get packages delivered. So when he said, you know, somebody could take a statement and make it salacious versus somebody could take that same statement and just lay it out as is and you're like, "Oh, that's all it is." So that's his thing. He wants to make sure that the clients have a voice and that just one side of them is not being shown based on this snapshot. I mean, it is a pretty big snapshot when you look when you hear some of the evidence that the prosecution seems to have allegedly, right?

[00:35:54]But also at the same time, I get what he's saying. like this thing right here doesn't have to define who they are, right? So, they deserve a voice to be able to negate whatever's out there. And he, for lack of a better word, is that voice. So, then I said to him, I said, "Why didn't you move the case out of Carol County?" I said, "When this part was funny, y'all." I said, "When you" I said, "I loved in the their first status hearing. You brought up, but actually it was the second. I said you brought up that Eddie and Wendy may may be denied their constitutional right to a jury of their peers because we're in Carol County. And so I was trying to figure out, you ever have a word and then you lose the word? I was trying to talk about how many black, white, whoever was in Carol County. And I was getting ready to say census, but I was like, "That's not the right word to read." Then I was getting ready to say statistics. I was like, "That's not the right word." So I said to him, I said, "We're in Carol County." And I started looking. I was like, "And you have," and then he was like, "You can say it. African-American." He goes, "As the father of a biracial child." And I said, "Okay, I'm going to say black then." He said, "My wife says black and I follow her lead." So his wife is black. I said, "Oh, okay." So then I said to him, I said, "I knew I sent some swag." No, he he my wife is black and and I said, "Oh, okay." He said, "And I'm from PG County." I said, "I knew I sent some swag." So then here go me. I said, cuz he dressed he's the times that I've seen him always been very sharp, very put together. I said, "You ever did that Tik Tok um the glow up when you marry a black wife?"

[00:37:49]cuz I can see that it probably she probably glowed him up a little bit.

[00:37:52]Right. So Pam said, "I don't see him doing Tik Toks. I don't see you doing Tik Toks." And he said, "I've done a couple with my daughter." I said, "Okay, so why didn't you move the case?"

[00:38:03]Because I want Let's get back to I need you to answer this question. Why didn't you move the case from Carol County?

[00:38:09]There's not a lot of black folks in Carol County. It may be hard the jury.

[00:38:12]And he said, "Well, I have to be honest with you. my last two he was successful in getting a diverse jury in his last two cases in Carol County. He was he was successful. I believe he was saying he was successful with the case as well, but I know he was very successful in getting a very diverse jury in Carol County. Again, his last two cases, he said, and then to try to move it to a different county, pretty much it would be a lot of paperwork that he said we'd have to file motions. And he named some other legal terms. It would be a lot of paperwork for him to have to try to do that. And he's confident.

[00:38:56]I said, "You like a challenge." And he just smiled.

[00:39:01]I said, "Okay, then." Okay. So that's why they didn't get the movie. He's confident that I guess that they'll be able to provide a good defense in Carol County. He's not. So yes, he said he put that out there.

[00:39:16]you know, he said it, but he's confident with his because of his last two two cases in Carol County, they had a diverse jury. So, and we got to remember all it takes, all his defense has to do, all Wendy and Eddie's defense has to do is con is so doubt in the minds of the jury.

[00:39:39]That's one thing that I keep forgetting.

[00:39:40]It's not a judge, it's a jury. And if he's saying that he was successful in his last two cases of having a diverse jury, then maybe Wendy and Eddie have more of a fighting chance than I thought.

[00:40:01]So what I did was when I I looked up jury of peers because I really wanted to see what that meant, especially when it came to black and brown people, right?

[00:40:08]So it says legally a jury of peers does not mean a jury composed of people who share your exact race, background or social status under the US under the US Constitution. It means an impartial group of citizens drawn from a fair cross-section of the local community where the crime was alleged to have taken place. For black defendants, the reality of this legal principle has historically been complicated. The justice system has faced long-standing challenges in its application and practical outcome.

[00:40:40]So there's that. The fair cross-section rule. The sixth amendment guarantees that the pool of potential jurors must represent a fair cross-section of the community free from systemic exclusion based on race. Lawyers from both sides can remove potential jurors using preempter challenges. However, under the landmark Supreme Court case, Batson versus Kennedy, attorneys are legally prohibited from using these strikes to remove jurors solely based on their race. So, when he said a jury of their peers, I did immediately think of black. I mean, come on, let's be clear.

[00:41:18]You do want some black jewelry if you are black. Like, I would, right? I mean, so he said again he was very successful in having a diverse jury for two cases in Carol County. So maybe they they have some type of strategy planned out. So then I said to him, I won't hold you up any longer because before that he said that he had to get to the jail. He had clients.

[00:41:51]They waiting on you. I said, um, thank you so much. I shook his hand again and I said, "Remember my face? If I ever have to come into your office, he said, "Y'all look like nice people. I doubt that I would have to see you in my office." And I chuckled cuz I immediately thought of Wendy and Eddie.

[00:42:11]Do they look like nice people?

[00:42:16]He probably not shocked. He's been in this business long enough. he's probably not shocked that this is what's happening. And I said, "Yeah, I'm not going to need you for that." Yeah. But um I just wanted to make sure he remembered um who I was. So I appreciated him. Like I said, the conversation I said 15 minutes, but it probably went on for about 20 minutes.

[00:42:35]And I appreciated him standing out in that hot sun being so open and willing.

[00:42:38]And y'all, he was so interesting. I could have listened to him talk about law because I've always been interested in legal things in law anyway, certain things. So I was almost fascinated at the way he broke it down and you can see that he has a passion to me for the law and that is somebody who I'd want representing me. Someone who is passionate and you know listen oh he did say we talked about um client privilege and stuff like that. I forget how that came up. client privilege. And he said to me um with his clients, he said, "Say he gets somebody in with a DUI." He said he doesn't he he asks them, "Did you do it? How much did you have to drink?" He said, "I don't care if they lie to me because I'mma see the body cam footage." He said, "Sometimes they'll say a lot. Sometimes they lie." He said, "And I don't call them out on their lies." He said, "I just go like this.

[00:43:46]and point to the footage and he said because it's going to come out. It made me wonder and I wish that I had have asked him and I but then again you have to be careful because I didn't want to interrupt the comfortability that I feel like we established because it made me wonder because again he said he asks and he he used DUI specifically did you do it? How much did you have to drink? I don't care if you lie to me though because it's gonna come out. So I wonder if he asked Eddie and Wendy, "Did you do it?"

[00:44:23]Because if he if he asks and they tell him the truth, I feel like that'll help him build a better defense, right? So I do wonder if he asks them, "Did y'all do it?"

[00:44:39]Child, I don't know. But I I appreciate again um attorney Eldridge, Jere Jeremy Eldridge for taking his time to have a conversation with me. He did not have to stand out there in that hot sun after being in court. And like I said, he's ve he comes across very passionate about the law that I I picked that up. Like you could feel it and I was like, "Wow, this is definitely a lawyer that I'd want to be representing me." So that was my conversation with him. Again, he could obviously he couldn't get into the case specifics. I thought it was funny what he said about the prosecution and not being in to fashion as it relates to her throwing out that statement about her purse and then how much Wendy's would cost. Well, there's no comparison because you're not into that. She is, you know, but it was a way to say they have very little money and she's spending this on the purse. That's that's the whole reason that she did this. And again, I do wonder if that whole time when Wendy and Eddie weren't in the courtroom and weren't with their attorneys, were they filming something on their phone in that conference room or talking to Bravo or what have you. I said, "Now, let's get back to the black SUV. I told y'all they didn't have that SUV last time." I said, "They got that SUV this time cuz you know Bravo paid for it and they had GoPros in that SUV." Child Wendy came stepping, didn't she? She looked good in her yellow and her expensive bag. Eddie looked good, too. They always look good when they come to court. They look runway runway ready. I said, you know, can you imagine what court is going to be like and the looks she going to turn out then?

[00:46:17]I don't know if I would necessarily do that with a jury there because if they already feel a certain what if you get a juror that already feels a certain type of way about reality stars and maybe they don't feel like they're talented and entitled to be making a lot of money because they're reality stars and then you come in and you're lubboutins and your fox stole cuz it's going to be cold and your bag and your shades that might not play well with some drawers.

[00:46:46]So, I wonder if they're going to tell Wendy. Eddie always comes in nice but not flashy to me. Even when he had like when it was winter and he had on like the coat and all that, he comes in very well-dressed, presentable, but not flashy. Like I said, Wendy's first hearing, she had the first stole over her shoulder. Huh. So, I wonder if their attorneys are going to have them tone it down.

[00:47:16]Also, what's interesting to me is I told y'all last week I did a video where I had a source that has been reliable in the past say that Wendy was on the girls trip kind of throwing Eddie under the bus with them with them now being co-defendants.

[00:47:35]I do wonder if that happened how that will play out for her because you're now his codefendant.

[00:47:44]It all seems to me it was a strategy to prolong to give them more time because how do you go from again in March Wendy wanting a trial as soon as the following week when her original trial date was April and Eddie's was the week after hers.

[00:48:02]Eddie waves his right. So we know his isn't going to be for a while. But you wanted a trial date the following week.

[00:48:07]They were literally looking for dates the following week. But the source told me that the attorneys knew that there were no open dates. It was just a tactic or a stunt to prolong it.

[00:48:20]And now here we are. They still have another status hearing in January. The week before the trial starts or was that Yeah, a week and some days before the trial starts. So y'all let me know what y'all think about all of that.

[00:48:34]I just from my seeing, like I said, when I when I was sitting in that courtroom back in January and hearing the prosecution, it was like, oh, like I heard the defense and I was like, oh, the defense.

[00:48:49]Yes, he was doing his thing.

[00:48:52]Then I heard the prosecution and some of their evidence, I guess. And I was like, "Oh."

[00:49:01]Then talking to her attorney, I was like, "No wonder." I in my mind I felt like, "No wonder they went no wonder Wendy went with this attorney." Like again, Eddie has a different attorney.

[00:49:14]But I guess they all work under one umbrella. But this attorney, I would be confident. I don't know what they're saying behind closed doors in their meetings, but I tell you one thing, like I said, me talking to him, I felt like oof.

[00:49:26]and he he pretty much when I said you like a challenge and he kind of smiled.

[00:49:29]I was like, "Oh, okay." Because child, this one seems challenging. Y'all let me know what y'all think. Make sure to like, comment, subscribe, hype the video if you have hypes left.
