00:00Today we were able to see the closure of a case that Philip Mastropolo was killed 20 years ago, more
00:13than 20 years ago, and finally today Ganesh Shanoi was held responsible for his crimes.
00:22And it took a long time to get here, but we never gave up. We never give up on our
00:29victims, we never forget our victims, we never take the easy way out.
00:36We worked 20 years to get him returned from India to stand up and be held accountable for the crime
00:44that he committed.
00:44So when we found out that he was in India, we applied for and were granted a warrant over there.
00:52He went to, in front of a judge, the judge set bail, which he was able to post.
00:59And then we began basically the fight in the courts to get him back here.
01:09And it's a long process. It's not easily done.
01:14We have, you know, international laws we're talking about, where they want to make sure that if they're sending one
01:23of their citizens back here,
01:24that, you know, no harm's going to come, you know, all of those concerns that the government has, we had
01:31to fight through.
01:32Were you worried about that?
01:33No, because if he was willing to come back, he would have come back.
01:36Yeah. Whether or not the laws made it difficult, he could have made it easier and it could have happened
01:42sooner.
01:43Absolutely.
01:44What happened was he was not arrested the night that the crime happened.
01:48He went to the hospital and, against medical advice, checked himself out a day or two later and fled from
01:58that point.
02:00And I was looking for the84s one.
02:01Yeah, that's fine.
