PHD student accused of murdering her friend's newborn baby and injuring his twin brother is the daughter of a prominent NYC cardiologist and she is a PhD student herself her name is Nicole verzy 29 years old she's way old enough so I don't want nobody to give her no excuses oh she was young she was young she didn't know no 30 years old really ma'am I know children can stress folks out why don't people let people watch their children who are qualified caregivers is beyond me that they're just such beautiful babies seem like a happy family they would just have to really tell me why did y'all trust y'all children to this fool Nicole versy 29 years stupid I mean 29 years old is charged with the murder of a 6 and a half week old child by the name of Leon Catz k a TZ at his home in Pittsburgh on what his dad on his dad's first Father's day which is even more heartbreaking beautiful little baby can y'all hit that thumbs up for that beautiful little baby y'all smiling just innocent beautiful kids and his parents first wedding anniversary so they're a married couple her Father Peter J verie is a top Cardiologist affiliated with Mount Sinai doctors in Manhattan and is certified by the American Board of internal medicine let me tell y'all this I'm I'mma just be real with you I know that adds an interesting twist to this story I'm just a little bit skeptical as to why they put so much emphasis on what her daddy does for a living as if that's supposed to give her a lighter sentence because she must have some good jeans in her blood because of how amazing her father is that ain't got nothing to do with her with his daughter being a dumb [ __ ] right do y'all agree with that I think that should be separate I could be wrong maybe it adds an element of suspense or or just makes the story more interesting I don't know if they're doing that to try to lessen the amount of vitriol people are going to have for his daughter but I think just her being a PhD student makes it all bad in itself versy who holds a graduate degree in Clinical Psychology from San Diego State was a trusted friend of the baby's parents Ethan Katz and Savannah Roberts police say that she allegedly killed the infant while they were at the hospital with his twin brother Ari who they alleged versy also assaulted let me read that a freaking again fool me once shame on me fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me right you guys know what that means that means if you make a mistake I'mma put it off on you if I give you another opportunity to wrong me then it's shame on me at that point read this again she allegedly killed the infant while they were at the hospital with his twin brother arri who they alleged versy also assaulted so they alleging that this baby was assaulted they went to the hospital now here watch this other one don't assault this one that one gets assaulted and dies allegedly please tell me does that make any level of sense cuz it doesn't sound like it makes any sense to me that's what the story says I have no words I'm absolutely shocked I had no idea a colleague and a friend a versy told the New York Post the friend said verie had some interpersonal issues but they don't know her to be violent what is interpersonal issues they won't give a description as to what they're talking about I would say she is a little rigid she was nice but very driven and motivated Daily Mail contacted the suspect's father for comment but did not get a response versy was charged with homicide child endangerment and aggravated assault but denies any wrongdoing problem with that is that these babies bodies are going to tell the story she she is obviously devastated she's highly distraught and deeply sad she said it was nothing intentional shreer told the post oh excuse me her attorney David shreer maintained ver innocence and she plans to plead not guilty so that other part applies we're doing a deep investigation she has no criminal history we would do our best to give her a fair Hearing in court this is a case with a a dead child and a young lady in jail it should not be speculated on be it should not be speculated on the case before it goes to court a gofund meal was set up for the devastated couple says Leon was tragically killed under horrific circumstances and that a trusted family friend has been arrested let me show y'all this GoFundMe no life insurance big ass GoFundMe whatever it's for they posted Isabella whatever and Sam plate are organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Savannah Roberts which is the mother organized this G fundme to the tune of $72,000 y'all catch that $72,000 maybe somebody maybe that's for medical expenses because they're trying to save the child that's still alive I don't know no life insurance 72 Grand y'all can

Ari after versy says she spotted an injury on his growing area could that be sexual assault first of all I could be a little bit insensitive I'm just a concerned father I just see things a certain way let me ask a vital question please y'all make sure you hit that thumbs up please if you're listening to the sound of my voice we want to have one thumb up for everybody watching if you want to support the channel super easy to do it I haven't noticed anybody typed this in the chat yet if there was something wrong with one child why would you not keep both of them with you yes I'm indicting the parents in a morality clause you have young twins if something's wrong with one why not keep both of your precious blessings in your possession huh this is the part where people as content creators might be scared to say what I just said because you don't want to piss off the family or piss off people that are supporting the family to the tune of 75,000 freak dollars I don't have that kind of money I love to had that kind of money but I'm just saying it seems like we're supporting negligent mentality come on dude look I've had small babies raised my two children had them together something's wrong with one I'm not going to leave one and take the other and leave the other one to whomever I'mma have them both with me if you're at the hospital that clearly means you have the time and resources to be there why not take both they're very small why would you not have both of them with you is that just illogical thinking am I just being a jerk for saying that when I saw this story this is what I saw I didn't see white I didn't see these white people and this black man coming and saying something about a white Dynamic that I don't understand I'm speaking from a father who watched his children be born and ask myself what I have done what they did and there's not a chance in freaking hell that I would have had both of my kids together and separated them because something was wrong with one I had some suspicions and didn't take both of them to the hospital with me why why and now the other one's dead that like you you didn't see the yellow and red flags there really oh you being mean to them just J they suffering right now y'all these parents are suffering you don't understand they're suffering I understand what it's like to be a parent and I understand that if you have twins if something's wrong with one if I already have to take off a work or whatever it is I'm going just have the other one with me even for Spiritual purposes I would think that it might be good y'all hear me on this I'm just speaking I'm not reading the story I'm just speaking even for spirituality purposes why would you not have the spirit of the other baby its other side with that baby and that baby can maybe pull through and have the strength because its twin is there hello these babies were born together brought in this world together and depend on each other I would have had I would have never have separated them I'm not talking to these parents I'm talking to others out there so if you see something say something in a situation like this I don't want this to happen any more babies to that couple I don't want what happened to them for somebody else to have to go through that that's the point of me talking about this you can't do anything about the child that they've lost cuz I'm sure that that hurts and I'm sure that they are probably thinking all the things that I'm thinking now after the fact and I'm pretty sure that they're sad about this and everybody can empathize with how sad this is I'm saying this cuz I don't want another child to go through this she told police that she had gone into the kitchen to get cat a bottle when she suddenly heard a screaming when she returned she said that the baby had fallen out of his bouncer chair she then called 911 at 11:17 p.m. the injury sustained by both twins are consistent with being sustained as a result of child abuse two different kids as these inflicted injuries that are not natural and not accidental not once but twice and that's according to a doctor who told investigators in the court filings versy has been held with no bail which is great at the aleny jail and faces preliminary hearing on June the 28th which is actually tomorrow depending on when you're watching this her LinkedIn profile indicates that she's a fifth year Clinical Psychology candidate on the SDSU which is San Diego State University UC San Diego joint doctoral program her professional bio says that her research aims to explore the complex interplay between psychological factors such as depression stress negative effect and Trauma ain't that a [ __ ] really god dog her research aims to explore complex interplay between psychological factors such as depression stress negative effect and Trauma and critical Health outcomes and behaviors such as metabolic syndrome heart disease obesity eating behavior and exercise wow that's all you could say wow the the freaking irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife you think she was maybe experimenting on these children in some weird way she added I am particularly interested in exploring these relationships with female and Trauma exposed populations you cannot shout out to Tommy you cannot make this [ __ ] up by concentrating on these relationships my research aims to shed light make god dog y'all gotta read this for yourself by concentrating on these relationships my research aims to shed light on the unique challenges and opportunities for intervention Within These vulnerable groups is these babies not vulnerable ain't they vulnerable the baby's mother previously interacted with verie on X or Twitter formerly known as Twitter as Roberts referred her to her incredible work on January 20 uh 2022 and may of 2021 Roberts said you're doing your going to do an amazing job can't can't wait to hear about your experience you just cannot make

hi there my name is Nicole verie a PhD candidate studying psychology faces charges of homicide and assault She's accused of killing a newborn baby and injuring that baby boy's twin I go over the allegations and what Nicole V's lawyer has to say about them I'm Anette Levy and this is crime fix Nicole verie is a 29-year-old PhD candidate in Clinical Psychology at San Diego State University she's also the daughter of a prominent cardiologist in New York City but instead of studying or taking summer break verie is in the alagan county jail in Pittsburgh facing a number of charges including criminal homicide aggravated assault and child endangering versy is accused of killing little Leon Catz a six and a half week old twin police say leyon died on Father's Day and that verie had also harmed his twin brother by causing injuries to his genitals and scratches to his face the probable cause affidavit says verie called 911 on June 15th before midnight and said leyon had suffered a bump to the Head after falling from a bassinet the document said the baby was becoming non-responsive leyon was rushed to the hospital the affidavit said his parents had left leyon in Nicole V's care after taking his twin brother to the hospital for the injury to his genitals which verie had actually told told them about earlier in the day police said leyon suffered a severe skull fracture and multiple brain bleeds the affid David says Dr Wolford of the Child Advocacy Center informed detective O'Neal that the injuries sustained by both John Doe and Leon cats is consistent with having been sustained as a result of child abuse as these are inflicted injuries that are not natural and not accidental verie agreed to speak to police at the police department the affidavit stat verie was unable to provide any plausible explanation for the cause consistent with the extent of the injuries that Leon cats sustained while in her care ver stated that she was with Savannah Roberts Ethan Katz and the twins on the day of 6:15 of 2024 that was a Saturday they went on an outing in the afternoon hours and she was out by herself at a grocery store after that I want you want to make sure y'all are hearing this hopefully the volume is okay if y'all are watching please do favor and hit that thumbs up try to run that number up on the thumbs up if y'all would I want to make sure y'all can hear this okay let's keep going ver estimated that at approximately 18:30 that would be 6:30 in the evening the parents took the John Doe to the hospital for an injury to the genital area verie identified herself as the sole caretaker for Leon cats while the parents and brother were at the hospital detectives said that verie told them that leyon was fine after his parents left he had eaten soiled two diapers and was burped the affidavit continued Bersy stated that she fell asleep for a period of time while Leon was in the bouncer seat she woke up and went to the kitchen to get a bottle for Leon at that time Leon was in the bouncer seat but not strapped into the seat detectives claim verie said she went into the kitchen and heard Leon screaming and then found him on his left side on the floor and picked him up Leon died hours later at the hospital it was Father's Day the affidavit detailed the injuries that Leon's twin brother suffered it reads it should be noted that your aiant spoke with Dr Wolford who stated that John Doe's injuries are as follows two scratches to the right cheek one small scratch below the left side of the nose one small scratch to the left cheek two bruises below the belly button bruising swelling and redness of the penis and scratches to the tip of the penis in addition Dr Wolford believed believes that all of Leon's injuries were acute an autopsy performed on Leon determined that his death was caused by blunt force trauma and his death was ruled a homicide his parents denied causing the injuries to Leon or his twin brother for Nicole V's part her lawyer David shreer told me she plans to plead not guilty and he stressed that this case is at the beginning of the investigation shager continued at the beginning of every case there is a lot of confusion about what happened and that's what the purpose of a trial is is to find out what really happened and that is Our intention shreer continued this case is going to take a good amount of time and we have to make sure that it is done thoroughly and properly versus quickly and we're talking about the life of an infant we're talking about the people that are left behind we're talking about a 29-year-old young lady who's never been in trouble and we need to make sure that we're doing it properly and appropriately as the law required fires shager said there will likely be psychological information that comes into play along with medical experts on both sides evaluating the evidence a woman who was babysitting her friend's infant twins has been charged with killing one of the boys and injuring the other it happened this weekend in Shady Side and now she's in the alagan county jail Shelley Bortz is there and joins us with the details Nicole verzy is behind bars here charged with homicide after police say six week old Leon Catz died while in her care unimaginable I'm just just uh terrible and I feel so sorry for the family it's an unimaginable crime yet police say it happened in this Shadyside neighborhood six week old twin boys one killed the other injured at the hands of their babysitter they're so innocent that they didn't ask for this and uh helpless uh you just don't understand you know why someone would have this their heart to terrible feelings what would precipitate something like this cannot imagine cannot imagine police were called to this apartment building on Walnut Street Saturday night doesn't that sound weird I thought that sounded weird talk she talking about the baby fell from a bouncer so you got two children one's got a genital injury and the other fell from a bouncer and now is dead that's that's do y'all think do y'all think that this woman do you believe based on what you've heard do you believe that she's going to end up being found guilty I personally believe so but I posted a poll in the chat you can just give your honest opinion let me know what you think for a report that a baby had fallen from a bouncer the 911 caller was identified as 29-year-old Nicole verzy a friend of the baby's parents who was visiting from San Diego she told investigators six- week old Leon Catz fell from the bouncer when she left the room to get him a bottle Catz was rushed to UPMC children's hospital where he later died from blunt force trauma to the head that caused a skull fracture doctors who and I just thought about that thank you for posting that in the chat how does a child I'm not saying it's just you know physically impossible but the math ain't mathing thank you how does a child a newborn baby we jump out of a bouncer fall out of a bouncer topple over out of a bouncer unless the bouncer is faulty huh then you'd be suing the company that created the bouncer wouldn't you think for a faulty design it don't sound right to me at all I think maybe she believ she's some mad scientist experimenting on these children especially when she was talking about that she she's doing resear research on psychological and impact of of all of these things I read a minute ago I go back and read them again it don't sound right treated cats said his injuries were not accidental ver attorney David shreer disagrees our client was uh thrust quickly into a role of having to babysit a small child and an accident occurred and that child died and unfortunately accidents do happen it's a sad thing it's an awful thing but it doesn't mean that someone's culpable according to the criminal complaint the reason verie was watching Leon cats Saturday night was because his parents had to rush his twin brother to the hospital for an injury to his genital area after being in ver care earlier that day Katz's twin brother was found to have scratches bruising and swelling I would ask the public to always listen to the facts and not jump to conclusions and allow the facts to come out as appropriate verie is charged with homicide aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of children her bond was denied now her attorney David shreer tells me he will be working to modify that as time progresses reporting in downtown Pittsburgh Shelley borts KDK TV I'm just curious as to how many people in the chat um have ever been parents You Ever Raised children ever was there when your children were born children really aren't that difficult when they're born to to take care of especially at this age like they're going to cry a lot they'll probably get um on emotional nerves but outside of that if you could just deal with the with the difficulty of just hearing them cry and and having to comfort them outside of that all they're going to do is eat sleep and use the bathroom and all you got to do is keep them clean wipe them up make sure that they're nice and dry and make sure that they eat properly make sure that they're not you know going to choke on what they've ate cuz they're going to more than likely throw up from time to time clean them up it's not super hard it requires some emotional discipline and I think experience would help you get through that because like I said I've lived through it with two kids I don't really know what's going on here but everything in me wants to hold her account and say that she's guilty guilty is charged and I think that you will find out that all the information even the fact that just like I said earlier with this whole child fell out of a bouncer that's the point of a bouncer so they won't fall unless the company created a faulty bouncer let me read this part again in here because I thought this was interesting and I want to reiterate this her professional bi out her bi oh her professional bio says that her research aims to explore the complex interplay between psychological factors such as depression stress negative effect and Trauma and critical Health outcomes and behaviors such as metabolic syndrome heart disease obesity eating behavior and exercise she added I am particularly interested in exploring these relationships within female and trauma exposed populations by concentrating on these relationships my research aims to shed light on the unique challenges and opportunities for intervention Within These vulnerable groups I posted a poll in the chat some the majority of people believe that she's going to be guilty as charged we had a smaller group that believe that she's not guilty of doing this but nonetheless that's why you're opinion is important leave a comment in the comment section like share and subscribe let me know what you guys think let's have an honest discussion about this story okay thank you
