In this week’s podcast, shocking surveillance video stunned Los Angeles and quickly went viral: A respected firefighter caught on camera attacking his female neighbor in a fight over neighborhood cats in 2013. It took two trials for a jury to reach a verdict. In our new “My Favorite Case” series this week, attorney Joshua Ritter joins host Ana Garcia to discuss the case of Ian Eulian and Rebecca Stafford.

Omg that was vicious
What a creep ,he disgust me and I love Cats so much .The Son and the Mother should both be arrested and locked up for a very very long time .
Good thing i wasn't on that jury. i would have put the nail on him … what a POS !!!
I feed cats and trap them to fix them to stop the breeding. i hope she sued him after…
I hardly think it makes a good drama, its not funny..it todays Gestapo they'll beat you up no matter your age. Who the hell cares about his career.
The fire fighter and mother should bought to prison for many many years as well as a hate crime with cover up! Horrible evil people!!!
What if he had killed her?…then he likely would have dumped her body etc and tried to cover that up!
NO REMORSE…LYING FELON!
No comments made on how thos affected this woman and likely for the rest of her life!
I hope she sued the hek out of him and the Fire Department!
He just snapped! That says it all…then lied and covered it up and she could be DEAD.
I do not think he cares one little bit that she could have BLED TO DEATH IN HER BRAIN….AND HE VERY WELL KNOWS THAT.
All he cared about was his job! He should have resigned if he had any remorse and saved the department the embarrassment.
Mom needed to be charged separately
Ana keeps trying to defend the firefighter. She makes fun of the 'cat people' attending the trial. Claims to be an 'animal lover' but is really just a 'dog person'.
Who put the camera there? And why is it "suspicious"?
This was good
Damn he beat her ass smh
Men with gaps between their front two teeth are hot .
He got probation.. wow..
At 18:22 the mother is leaning right into the cat ladies car and is hitting her. That's the equivalent of going uninvited to somebody's house and leaning into the owners door, and attacking them. The visitor is the perpetrator because the owner can't leave. Then he pulls the mother away and attacks the cat lady in her car. Case closed. And btw? Coincidences do happen. Forceable or not..thats how the titanic sank..events coincided.
And the perpetrators driving you in your car was also an uninvited event that to me is another insult!
Black ppl doing black people stuff
My eyesight could be bad but I didn't see the victim hit anyone. The only ones at fault in my opinion are the the guy and his mother. I don't even want to acknowledge that he was a firefighter. Someone like him should not be in a profession that involves SAVING LIVES! He's a disgrace.
Just my opinion… maybe she was trying to defend herself.
His mom has the worst resting bitch face I’ve ever seen!!
If she was so worried about the cats she should have taken them home with her.
Poor guy! I wish he’d just poisoned these bloody feral alley cats. Problem solved, he doesn’t have to deal with lonely pathetic cat lady. Who does that? Out at night feeding strays🙄🙄
Did the city municipality deal with this vermin situation?
There’s nothing, and I mean nothing, is more infuriating than the sounds of these stray cats having sex in the middle of the night! Alley cats are very promiscuous!😂
He's a VIOLENT THUG. He beat her up for being white. How is this not a hate crime??!!!
I think it looks like he was going to go haul her off to dispose of her permanently. Look at how he says, he only hit her one time! He full on punched her!!
You do see her swing at him and he blocked it then she kicks him , but he was in her space in the door so idk. I just need to know is this infront of his and his moms house? Because if so I would be really upset someone feeding cats in my area because as now a lady feeding strays 200ft from my house I have them under my home and I even have them on my cars and killed my pet squirrels yes I had 2 raised and trained outside but they killed them when they would chill on the fence around my home. So I feel strongly about feeding strays they should bring the cats to there home if they care so much let them piss on there cars and live in there trees.
That big blue circle on his wall behind him. I can't be the only one wondering, why do you have a big blue circle in the corner of a wall like that? Is it a marking where he can sit for his camera? It looks funny and I don't get it please someone explain. A blue circle in a random spot on the wall why?
Finished watching now, and the bloke is a f…..g monster, and his mother should be ashamed of him! He beat up a lady twice his age for feeding innocent animals in need! He should lose his job, he is a disgrace to the service, they are meant to be kind towards animals, i wouldn't want to rely on him to rescue my animal out of the fire if they had time, or imagine how some of them rescue cats out of trees when they get stuck. not this monster, he would probably push the cat out, or let any animals burn in fires! He is a piece of trash, and anyone who doesn't have a kind heart towards animals are bad through and through in my opinion!
Finally i wouldn't piss on this monster if he was on f…..g fire, or the mother!!
To the cat lady, good on you, you obviously have a kind heart and a love of animals, and that to me means the world, if only more people were like this lady, unfortunately there are more people in this world like the piece of trash in this video!!
Good job he didn't trying assault me for kindness to animals, may have had a slightly different outcome!!!
I have only just started watching this, 4 minutes in, and i already know who's side i am on, obviously the kind lovely lady feeding these poor hungry innocent animals!
I of course am a passionate animal lover, and especially cats, i was raised around lots of them, my parents, had a love of animals, and we always had cats, raised kittens, and he would often bring home the odd stray, there is nothing my late wonderful Dad would not have done for animals, and i as his daughter have grown up the same way! He even used to save up leftovers and feed the birds and take some out to the woods and feed the badgers and foxes, he has made me the person i am today! I of course now have 3 beautiful cats of my own, and i have had 6 at one point, and i am currently feeding 3 other cats of my next door neighbors would you believe who obviously do not feed their cats anywhere near enough food, they are skinny af, and always starving, and i live in the UK, and in a really nice area, lovely town to, and yet still there are people who don't seem to give a shit about animals!! I will never see any animal starving, ever!!
I have zero tolerance for anybody who causes any animals harm in any way either through neglect, abuse, whatever, and i would hurt anyone i ever saw hurting an animal, whoever they were, i have done it before and would do it again!
I will add to this comment when i have finished watching this!
This is funny story because my neighbor is feeding cats in my apartment building and one almost attacked me. I’m not going to go beat them up but I definitely make note of it.
How the hell could there be a hung jury with that video?
🐈👮♂️👨⚖️👋🏻👊🏾 ~ Wait. Details were left out! At first I was fine with the consequences he faced, but now I watched the original coverage episode, I see the “victim“ slapped his mother first. So I don’t know, maybe he should’ve just been charged with a misdemeanor instead of a felony.
Since he was a fire fighter in LA he lost his entire career because he was found guilty of a felony. Had it been a misdemeanor he would’ve been okay. And was the “victim“ ever charged with misdemeanor assault for throwing cat food in his face and for slapping the mother first? And the “victim” says she never tried to kick the mother and she never did kick the mother. But when I slow it down I see her leg extended which I think is about 85% certain that she did kick. But she’s denying that she kicked her.
I listened to this video podcast and I don’t remember the host saying that the “victim“ slap the mother first, I asked her don’t remember them mentioning it at all. I also don’t remember them talking about the “victim“ being accused of kicking the mother when she fell down either. I was taking a bath while listening to it at 1.5x the normal speed, so it is possible I missed it because of all I was doing. But I’m usually pretty good at hearing things.
It's not funny that people want to protect animals so stop laughing I don't find this funny how is it bizarre that people care about animals
Wtf how is he not in prison f**king monster and his mom should have some jail time these are some disturbed evil people over feeding helpless animals. He put her back in her own vehicle took her home both of them need to see a psychiatrist and he needs extreme anger management classes
Bizarre thumbnail choice to go with
I'm so glad they had that video. Who knows what may have happened if they didn't. I still think the mom should have gotten some punishment.
These cat ladies are a bit odd, but she is not adding to the population. She is most likely trying to trap the adults and fix them. And try to save the babies and tame them. This man was a monster. The way he lifted her out like this is nuts. How did they ever offer no jail at the beginning. The fact that he was a firefighter makes this crime even worse. And shame on the interviewer for laughing so much. This women had the crap beaten out of her – there is nothing funny about this.
I hate that he talks about how to help the firefighter so it doesn't hurt his career?
Cops gave me a ticket and almost arrested me for trying to save a tiny kitten who ran onto a medium on big street. Other person had also tried rescuing kitten, but had to leave. Cops then accused me of being a lady who feeds homeless cats, actually down street from where I live. She drives around at night cuz people get mad at her if they see her feeding. These people Im sure thought they'd killed her and when saw she was alive, tried to cover it up. These people needed to 100 be charged and made an example of.
She drives in and is minding her own business! She is there with only the intention of helping a disabled cat!
You can see him going straight for her and her car! His intentions were to have a fight! He started and it was him that escalated this now fight into a very serious physical fight! He began to beat and hurt this woman that he is much younger and stronger than! When being passed out after he pulled her out of her car and hit her violently! Then he and his mother start to cover their actions by victimizing the victim and everything is her fault! Sad!
HE WAS EXERCISING HIS REPARATION PRIVI/RIGHTA?….
This lawyer should have a box of male used kitty litter on his desk and dinner table.
A cat infestation of feces and smell should be in everyones home who thinks cat lady was in the right. These people really had no choice and the city should pay for clean up and lost wages. Plus possibly rehousing the family.
What a trash bag!!
Please adopt your cat and dogs from a shelter! Get your pets fixed so they don’t contribute to this overwhelming homeless animal situation.
