IT WILL BE A FUN SHOW. >> AND WHAT IS BUZZING IN THE BEEHIVE STATE. >> SOMETHING ALWAYS BUZZING IN THE BEEHIVE STATE. ANYTHING HAPPENING WITH PASSENGERS, A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT RUBY FRANKE. >> HOW DO YOU PLEAD TO COUNT ONE AGGRAVATED FELONY. >> GUILTY. >> CHILD ABUSE A SECOND DEGREE FELONY >> GUILTY >> TO COUNT 5. >> GM10. >> AND COUNT 6. >> GUILTY. >> THE COURT FINDS THERE IS A SUFFICIENT FACTUAL BASES THE COURT DISMISSES THE REMAINING TWO COUNTS. >> THE SAME COUNTS THAT RUBY FRANKE PLED GUILTY TO. A YOUTUBER, FAMOUS IN SOME PARTS OF THE INTERNET. JODI, LESS KNOWN, BUT WE WILL SHARE WITH MORE OF HER BACKGROUND. LIFE COACH, PAID TO GIVE PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE THEIR LIVES. A FORMER LICENSED COUNSELOR, NOT LICENSED ANYMORE. SHE LOST THAT LICENSE. AND WITH THESE CHARGES I CAN NOT IMAGINE HER GETTING THAT BACK. FORMER BUSINESS PARTNER AND FRIEND, IT SEEMS, OF YOUTUBER RUBY FRANKE AS WELL. PROSECUTORS SAY SHE WAS PART OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE DHORN THIS ABUSE, TO WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH. >> RIGHT. EXACTLY. RUBY'S PLEA DEAL SAID JODI WAS TO BLAME. TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY WERE CLOSE FRIENDS, OR AT LEAST IT APPEARED THAT WAY. AND TURNING THAT WAY. SAYING SHE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RUBY'S SENSE OF MORALITY. >> IT STARTED WHEN ONE OF HER KIDS RAN AWAY FROM HER HOUSE, MALNOURISHED AND TIED WITH A ROPE. WE HAVE SEEN IT ALL PLAY OUT. PAUL NELSON WAS IN THE COURTROOM TODAY SO WE WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM RIGHT NOW. >>> I AM OUTSIDE OF THE COURTHOUSE IN ST. GEORGE WHERE AS EXPECTED JODI LILDEBRANDT TOOK A GUILTY PLEA FOUR COUNTS OUT OF THE SIX. SHE AGREED TO SERVE THEM CONSECUTIVELY AND PRISON TIME AND IT WILL HAPPEN ON FEBRUARY 20th FOR THE SENTENCING. WE ASKED WHY THEY DID NOT GO FOR ALL SIX CHARGES? AND THE PROSECUTION SAYS IF THERE OFFER WAS NO OFFER NO INCENTIVE FOR THEM TO COOPERATE AT ALL. BOTH SIDES. THE DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION WANTED TO AVOID BRINGING THE CHILDREN TO TESTIFY IN THIS CASE AGAINST FRANKE OR HILDEBRANDT. ONE THING THAT WAS DIFFERENT FROM FRANKE CASE F THAT CASE THEY OFFERED HER A PLEA DEAL TO TESTIFY AGAINST HILDEBRANDT AND STAY NEUTRAL IN HER UP COMING PAROLE HEARINGS. THEY DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT FOR HILDEBRANDT. THEY MAY RECOMMEND SHE STAY BEHIND BARS IN THEY BELIEVE SHE DID NOT SPEND ENOUGH TIME BEHIND BARS IN PRISON. SHE WILL BE SENTENCED ON FEBRUARY 20th. KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST INFORMATION ON KUTV AND KUTV.COM. >>> PAUL THERE, OF COURSE, HE WAS THERE ALL TUESDAY AND THERE LAST NIGHT DOING A GREAT JOB. SOME OF WHAT HE MENTIONED THERE ABOUT NOT STAYING NEUTRAL. IT IS INTERESTING WHEN IT COMES TO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE BLAME WAS. YOU HEARD FROM RUBY FRANKE. SHE SAID THAT THE BLAME IS ON JODI HILDEBRAND, IT IS AING SHE MANIPULATED HER. IS IT TRUE OR SOMEONE JUST TRYING TO SHIFT THE BLAME SO THEY GET LESS OF PRISON TIME. INTERESTING TO SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT IN SENTENCING. BUT THE PLEA DEAL SEEMS TO BE A TINY BIT HARSHER TOWARDS HILDEBRANDT. >> ABSOLUTELY. AND IT MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT INFORMATION THEY HAVE. MAKES YOU WONDER WHAT THEY KNOW. THEY, AT LEAST TO A VIEWER IT APPEARS THEY HAVE INFORMATION THAT WOULD LEAD THEM TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS JODI HILDEBRANDT THAT TOOK THE LEAD AND RUBY FOLLOWED HER. >> OR IT COULD BE THAT ONE OF THEIR LAWYERS JUST NEGOTIATED THE BETTER DEAL >> THAT IS TRUE. THAT IS TRUE. THAT IS TRUE. >> TALKING ABOUT DETAILS. I WANT TO GET INTO SOME OF THE SPECIFIC DETAILS THAT WE LEARNED B. THE DETAILS OF THE ABUSE THEY ARE DISTURBING AND HORRIFYING. LOOKING AT HER PLEA DEAL TODAY, SIMILAR TO RUBY FRANKE'S. ALMOST IDENTICAL. DESCRIBING THE SAME HORRIFYING TREATMENT OF THE KIDS. THERE IS A LITTLE FEW DIFFERENCES OF WHAT JODI DID. SHE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED SHE FORCED RUBY'S 9-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO JUMP INTO A CACTUS MULTIPLE TIMES, IT IS JUST A DISTURBING SPECIFIC DETAIL AND INCIDENT OF ABUSE. ALSO WE GOT MORE DETAILS AND LEARNED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 11-YEAR-OLD BOY THAT TRIED TO ESCAPE AT ONE TIME. THEY SAY HE WAS BOUND WITH HANDCUFFS AND ROPES. OFTEN CUFFS ON HIS HANDS AND FEET, THEY WERE TIED TOGETHER. SO HE WAS LIFTED UP OFF OF THE GROUND IN UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION. THE DETAILS DESCRIBE HOW IT CUT INTO HIS ARMS AND LEGS. INTO HIS MUSCLE TISSUE. A DEEP WOUND. THE ONLY REMEDY FOR THAT USED THINGS AT HOME AND DUCT TAPE OVER THE TOP. THEY DID NOT LET HIM RECUPERATE AND THEN THE CUFFS WERE PUT BACK ON. >> I KNOW PEOPLE WHO WATCHED 8 PASSENGER BEFORE IT WENT DOWN. THEY SEEMED LIKE STRICT PARENTING AND NOTHING LIKE THAT. WHERE IS THE DISCONNECT. HOW CAN YOUR MIND WRAPAROUND THAT AS ANYTHING AS WOULD BE CONSTRUCTIVE DISCIPLINE? THERE IS SUCH A DISCONNECT THERE. IT IS SO SADDENING TO HEAR THESE INNOCENT CHILDREN GOING THROUGH SOME OF THESE THINGS. >> ESPECIALLY AS PARENTS WHICH WE BOTH ARE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING. I AM HAPPY TO NOT BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND HOW SOMEONE CAN GO TO THAT PLACE. BUT DEFINITELY A LOT OF PEOPLE REACTING TO IT. WE KNOW IT IS ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA. >> A LOT OF INPUT COMING IN ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES, WE WANT TO GET TO THOSE. MOST PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED TO HEAR THAT THEY ADMIT TO EVERYTHING AND HOPING THE KIDS ARE ABLE TO FIND SOME PEACE NOW IN THIS REACTION. WE HAVE A LOT OF COMMENTS ON OUR YOUTUBE, INSTAGRAM PAGES, SOME OF YOU ON VIEWERS SAYING SHE IS SORRY SHE GOT CAUGHT, THEY WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE. IMAGINING THE LIVES AND FAMILIES THAT JODI WILL NEVER GET TO RUIN. I LIKE THAT TAKE ON THAT. JODI KEPT DOING THERE WHATEVER SHE WAS DOING. THERE WAS A STOP THERE. ALSO, ANOTHER COMMENT SAYING I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS HOW THESE PEOPLE GOT AWAY WITH IT FOR AS LONG AS THEY DID. A LOT OF PEOPLE WONDERING THAT. AT THE SAME TIME I MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE. WHAT THE EVERYDAY ACTIONS WERE LIKE. IT IS EASY IN HINDSIGHT WONDERING BUT THEY WERE GOOD AT HIDING WHAT WAS HAPPENING >> YOU HOPE FOR THE SAKE OF THE KIDS IT WAS NOT FOR A LONG TIME. WE HOPE TH
