If you assume everything both sides said in closing is true, the prosecution is in the stronger position, and Brendan Banfield is more likely than not to be found guilty. The reason isn’t emotional; I’m basing it on the state’s single explanation that accounts for all of the evidence. The defense spent way too much time in my opinion pointing out why individual pieces might be questioned, and while that may slow the jury down, it won’t replace the prosecution’s theory with a workable alternative. Even taking the defense at its best, the jury is still left with one unavoidable question: if Brendan didn’t do this, how did the scene end up the way it did? Scene staging, blood transfers and timing gaps don’t explain themselves. Once jurors accept that someone manipulated the crime scene after the killings handled, the focus narrows. This case will be decided on whether the physical and behavioral evidence makes sense. Whether they believe the testimony of the only person in the room with Brendan Banfield that survived and if the jury trusts the forensics.The Brendan Banfield murder trial is now officially in jury watch. Will the 90-minute argument by the defense overpower the 20-minute reminder given by the prosecutor? You can watch the entire arguments at the end of this video if you’d like. #BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #BanfieldTrial #JuryWatch #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrime #Court #Bloodstain #CrimeScene #Staging #Forensics #ReasonableDoubt #HomicideTrial #AggravatedMurder #FairfaxCounty #VirginiaCourts #GIS #Esri #ArcGISSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Newly unsealed search warrants are revealing disturbing new details in the Saratoga Springs homicide investigation involving Jessica Lyman and her 8-year-old son Eli Painter. Let’s walk through what police documents actually show about the investigation conducted by the Saratoga Springs Police Department, including forensic evidence, surveillance video, digital records, handwritten notes, and signs of sexual assault. This newly released information confirms that investigators are focusing inward, not outward. It’s not rumor or speculation, it’s what the documents tell us.#JessicaLyman #EliPainter #SaratogaSprings #SaratogaSpringsPolice #UtahTrueCrime #WillowbrookLane #ABC4News #CBSNews #LawAndCrime #JesseWeber #UtahHomicide #ProfilingEvil #TrueCrimeYouTube #UnsealedWarrants #ForensicEvidence #GunshotResidue #SexualAssaultInvestigation #JuvenileJustice ========================================https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26======================================== Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this Feedback Friday field trip, I take you directly into the heart of Short Creek, known today as Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona. It once was the historic stronghold of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the FLDS. This is the community built around plural marriage, prophetic control, and absolute obedience, led for decades by self-proclaimed prophet Warren Jeffs, now serving life in a Texas prison for sexually assaulting young girls. As we drive through the streets of this once-sealed polygamist enclave, we stop at key locations that defined FLDS power: the massive compound built by Warren Jeffs’ father Rulon Jeffs to house eighty-seven wives, the offices where obedience was enforced, and the meeting house where men were stripped of their families from the pulpit. You’ll see where Jeffs escaped federal arrest, how the United Effort Plan centralized wealth and control, and how law enforcement was sidelined by church authority. We’ll revisit the scars of history, including the infamous 1953 Short Creek Raid, the infant cemetery that still haunts investigators, and the burial grounds reserved only for the faithful. Along the way, we talk about secret police, hidden caves, the collapse of the FLDS corporate structure, and the uneasy reality that Warren Jeffs still exerts influence from behind prison walls. #Polygamy #PluralMarriage #FLDS #WarrenJeffs #RulonJeffs #ShortCreek #Hildale #ColoradoCity #ShortCreekRaid #1953Raid #FLDSCrimes #CultCrime #ReligiousAbuse #CoerciveControl #CriminalCults #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #CultSurvivors #PolygamyAbuse #ChildAbuseAwareness #FLDSHistory #CrimeDocumentary #ProfilingEvil #JusticeForVictims #HumanTrafficking #ReligiousExtremism #CultAccountability ========================================https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================FLDS StoryMap: https://arcg.is/0Gm4r1 ========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this special bonus episode of Profiling Evil, I sit down with producer Aaron Mason to go behind the scenes of Gardens of Evil: Inside the Zion Society Cult. This is a rare look at how one of the darkest and most complex cult investigations I’ve ever worked came together as an audio series. We discuss what surprised Aaron most when he first stepped into the Zion Society world, how survivor voices shaped the narrative, and the creative decisions that defined this series. This episode pulls back the curtain on the storytelling itself—and why telling this story the right way mattered. Gardens of Evil: Inside the Zion Society Cult premieres February 3 as Season 5 of American Nightmares under the Gamut Podcast Network.#ProfilingEvil #GardensOfEvil #ZionSociety #ZionSocietyCult #InsideTheZionSociety #Deceived #GardensOfEvilPodcast #ArvinShreeve #AmericanNightmares #AaronMason #MikeKing #CultInvestigation #CultSurvivors #SurvivorVoices #TrueCrimePodcast #InvestigativePodcast #BehindTheScenes #BehavioralAnalysis #MappingEvil #UtahCrime #CultDynamics #EthicalStorytelling #TrueCrimeCommunity #Podcast #Gamut20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/ProfilingEvil========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Four lives were lost in the early morning darkness of Colts Neck, New Jersey. Keith Caneiro and his wife Jennifer… along with their eleven-year-old son Jesse and their eight-year-old daughter Sophia died inside their own home. But this case isn’t just about what happened inside that house. Hours earlier, flames were already rising at another Caneiro residence miles away. As investigators peeled back the layers, they began to question whether this family was targeted and could it be even more intimate. Now, Paul Caneiro, the victims’ own brother and uncle, stands trial for the murder of four people and prosecutors are laying out a chilling story of greed, deception, and desperation. The defense is arguing Paul is the victim of a botched investigation, tunnel-vision and assumptions, rather than proof. Who killed the Caneiro’s? And the answer to that question may determine everything.#PaulCaneiro #KeithCaneiro #JenniferCaneiro #JesseCaneiro #SophiaCaneiro #ColtsNeck #OceanTownship #MonmouthCounty #NJTrial #CourtTV #NicoleWallace #ChrisDecker #MonicaMastellone #ProfilingEvil #TrueCrimeCommunity #GIS #Esri #Crime #Criminal #Trial #GardensOfEVIL========================================https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Day six of testimony in the Brendan Banfield murder trial wasn’t about theatrics, it was about how this case was built, how investigators handled competing theories, and how leadership drew a hard line between collecting digital evidence and over-interpreting it. The defense tried to turn digital forensics into doubt, leaning hard on a simple idea: you can’t always tell who’s behind the screen. And that sounds persuasive… until you remember what trials are actually decided on: the totality of the evidence, the blood evidence, timelines, behavior, opportunity, contradictions, and corroboration. A police commander pulled no punches explaining why a digital forensics detective was removed from major-crimes digital work: not because the extraction steps were botched, but because leadership believed the detective was making “unsubstantiated deductions”, reading conclusions into data that the science alone couldn’t support. And just as important: a lot of the “transfers” the defense tried to make look suspicious sounded like what they often are in big agencies, routine, normal rotations, or career moves, not purging people for failing to follow a preconceived theory.#BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #JulianaPeresMagalhaes #AuPairAffair #FairfaxCounty #VirginiaTrial #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #DigitalForensics #CatfishTheory #CourtroomRecap #JusticeForChristine #GIS #Esri #BentEarSolutions #Banfield #BanfieldTestifies #WillHeTestify #Testifying #DefendantTestifies #OnTheStand #UnderOath #CourtroomDrama #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrimeDaily #TrialWatch #CourtTV #CrimeTok #Justice #MurderTrial #CrimeNewshttps://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Feedback Friday, I’m answering a few questions that have been sitting with me because they all point to the same thing—how violence builds, how people justify it, and how easy it is to miss the warning signs until it’s too late. We talk about long-term cyber harassment and what it does to someone when it never quite rises to the level of criminal charges. We walk carefully through what’s known so far in the murders of Monique and Spencer Tepe and the case against Michael McKee, separating what’s been alleged from what’s being speculated. I also talk about some of the cases that have stayed with me over the years, including the Lafferty Brothers and a quiet case involving a seven-week-old baby named Ian Wing. And finally, we look at the Florida teen who murdered his mother and what that case says about desensitization, fantasy, and developing minds. None of this is meant to shock you, it’s meant to make you stop and think.#FeedbackFriday #TrueCrimeCommunity #ProfilingEvil #MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #DanLafferty #RonLafferty #IanWing #GrievanceKiller #IntimatePartnerViolence #CyberStalking #VictimAdvocacy #CriminalPsychology #JusticeMatters #ColdCases #TrueCrimeYouTube #DerekRosa #ElinaGarcia #FloridaTeen #MatricideSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The first day of defense witnesses in the Brendan Banfield trial left me frustrated. The opening swing-for-the-fences motion to dismiss, the crime scene body-worn camera audio and the full-court press on the digital evidence, because if you can’t prove who was behind the screen, you can’t prove who was behind the setup. But the thing that really tightened my jaw was the defense pushing the idea that Christine Banfield may have had a “blood disorder” that may have made her bleed more easily. NO! Having your throat slit is what makes you lose blood quickly. Her carotid arteries were cut, and her neck was catastrophically wounded by someone wielding a knife. That’s what killed her and the state says her killer, was her husband. #BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #JulianaPeresMagalhaes #AuPairAffair #FairfaxCounty #Virginia #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama #BodyCam #DigitalForensics #BloodstainPatternAnalysis #FetLife #CatfishTheory #ReasonableDoubt #JusticeForChristine #JusticeForJoseph See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Commonwealth rested its case in the Brendan Banfield murder trial, closing with bloodstain evidence, forensic testimony, and emotional witnesses meant to tie the story together. But instead of landing with impact, the State’s final witnesses felt muted — even flat. Today we break down what helped the prosecution, how the defense systematically dismantled key moments, and why the most important truth of this case may not have been driven home hard enough: Christine Banfield was murdered in her own home by the one person she should have been able to trust. #BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #BanfieldTrial #StateRests #FlatlineClosing #TrueCrime #TrialWatch #CourtroomRecap #BloodEvidence #ForensicTestimony #ProfilingEvil #JusticeForChristine #JusticeForJosephSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Profiling Evil, Mike King sits down with Retired Assistant Sheriff Greg McCurdy, a 30-year veteran of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department whose career spans some of the city’s most pivotal eras in crime, policing, and public safety. Greg shares what it was like patrolling Las Vegas as the shadow of the old mob era faded away, the biggest homicide cases he worked, including the Tupac Shakur case and how leadership shaped his rise through the LVMPD ranks.Mike and Greg McCurdy dive into the reality of car stops involving mob-connected individuals, the “assignments no one asks for” that end up defining a career, the evolution of Homeland Security in America’s entertainment capital, and the cases that still stick with him years after retiring. Greg McCurdy also breaks down how policing has changed over the last 12 years—from technology to culture to public expectations. If you’re fascinated by true crime, Las Vegas history, organized crime, the Tupac Shakur case or the behind-the-scenes world of major homicide investigations, this is a must-watch conversation inside the Profiling Evil community.#ProfilingEvil #GregMcCurdy #LasVegasPolice #LVMPD #TrueCrimeCommunity #PoliceLeadership #MobHistory #VegasCrime #LawEnforcementStories #MikeKing#Investigations #HomicideCases #HomelandSecurity #PoliceInterview #AmericanPolicing #CrimePodcast #LasVegas #WhatHappensInVegas #TupacShakurEmail your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The first week of the Brendan Banfield murder trial cracked open two very different stories. Prosecutors say this was a calculated plan of deception, timing, and staging that left a wife and a stranger dead in the same bedroom. The defense says the case is built on a deal, a delayed story, and an investigation that didn’t challenge its own assumptions. Jurors heard the 911 calls, first-responder accounts, medical findings, and the opening testimony of the au pair at the center of it all. Now the question isn’t just what happened, it’s who you believe when the evidence starts pushing back. #BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan#JulianaMagalhaes #FairfaxCounty #VirginiaTrial #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrialWatch #CourtroomRecap #OpeningStatements #ForensicEvidence #BloodEvidence #DigitalForensics #Catfish #FetLife #AuPair #911Call #CrimeScene #JusticeForChristine #JusticeForJoseph #TrueCrimeYouTube #ProfilingEvilSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Join Profiling Evil in the field as Mike hits the road across Utah and Nevada, tracing a line through some of the West’s most haunting murder cases and forgotten crime scenes. The journey begins with the murder of Dylan Rounds, then heads south past the Bonneville Salt Flats into Wendover, Nevada, where 16-year-old Micaela Costanzo was brutally murdered by Kody Patton and Tony Fratto. From there, the road leads toward Ely and the dark legacy of the Casanova Killer, Paul John Knowles, a roaming serial murderer believed to have killed as many as 35 people across the United States—including a police officer and a vacationing couple near Ely.The trip continues into Tonopah, Nevada, home to one of the most unsettling stops in America—the Clown Motel—and the historic Tonopah Cemetery next door. Buried there are some of the West’s most notorious figures, including the Marojovich Brothers, William “Big Bill” Murphy, George “Devil” Davis, Sheriff Thomas Logan, the Merton Brothers, Bina Verrault, Stella Campbell, and many others whose stories still linger in the desert air.The road trip wraps up with a look at the Righteous Branch Church and the pyramid where its members worship—an isolated structure that raises more questions than answers. This is a journey through desolation, violence, belief, and forgotten history.

In this episode, we dig into the State of Idaho’s official response to Lori Vallow Daybell’s Idaho Supreme Court Appeal and we’ll break it down in plain English. Lori’s appeal raises five issues, and the state argues each one, step-by-step. Let’s examine some of the timeline, especially on speedy trial and competency. More proof that the Doomsday Daybell saga isn’t about to end very soon. I’m going to end things with what I think Lori Daybell would tell us about this if we could interview her.

The Brendan Banfield double-murder case is finally headed to trial, and once a case reaches that point, the conversation has to change. This stops being about speculation and becomes about evidence, witnesses, and whether a story actually holds up inside a courtroom. Let’s walk through what jurors are really going to be asked to decide. What happened inside that Virginia home in February of 2023, when Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan were killed. Was it a murder conspiracy hatched by Brendan Banfield and the family’s Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães. They both shot Ryan. Then we’ll look at the FetLife “catfishing” theory and the state’s allegation that Brendan Banfield used the site to lure Ryan to the home as part of an elaborate scheme.Is the au pair’s story legit, even though her testimony bought her a better deal in the courts? We’re not judging character, we’re wondering how the jury will see things. This case has mystery, alleged conspiracy, prosecutorial problems and questions surrounding the digital investigation. We’re not picking sides and we’re watching with interest to see what the evidence reveals.#BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan #JulianaPeresMagalhaes #FetLife #Telegram #FairfaxCounty #HerndonVA #RestonVA #VirginiaCrime #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #JohnCarroll #PenneyAzcarate #EricClingan #BrendanMiller #KyleBryant #PatrickBrusch #FairfaxCountyPolice #CommonwealthOfVirginia #DoubleHomicide #CourtroomCoverage #PresumedInnocent #IRS #homicide #GIS #CrimeMap #crime========================================https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s a new year and we’re jumping into Feedback Friday with a few powerful viewer questions that go to the heart of coercive control, cult dynamics, and identity defense. Let’s look closer at what some call the “7M TikTok cult,” why law enforcement says their hands are tied, and what families can realistically do when adult loved ones appear isolated, manipulated, or financially controlled. Then we’ll shift to Julie Rowe’s interview with Nate Eaton for a moment and examine how claims of special spiritual authority mirror the same psychological patterns seen in Chad Daybell’s prison letters, long after both were stripped of credibility. We’re not attacking beliefs, we’re recognizing behavioral patterns, protecting families, and understanding how power, identity, and influence operate when accountability is resisted.#MirandaDerrick #MelanieWilking #7MFilms #RobertShinn #ShekinahChurch #JulieRowe #ChadDaybell #LoriDaybell #TammyDaybell #TyleeRyan #JJVallow #CharlesVallow #FeedbackFriday #ProfilingEvil #CultDynamics #CoerciveControl #7MTikTok #Psychology #UndueInfluence #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #cult #Cults #domesticviolence #DV========================================20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/profilingevil ========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when a head of state is no longer treated as a political actor, but as a criminal defendant? In this episode of Profiling Evil, we walk through why U.S. federal prosecutors placed Nicolás Maduro in the same legal category as Manuel Noriega, and why comparisons to El Chapo often miss the mark. This video is not about whether the United States should act, it’s about what actually happened, why these legal decisions were made, and how behavior, power, and entitlement shape the downfall of criminalized leaders. We’ll explore how Noriega lost political immunity and why El Chapo is not the same as a dictator branded a criminal. Did these leaders misjudge their immunity? Let’s examine the behaviors, the legal history, and true crime without politics.#ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #NarcoState #Dictators #ManuelNoriega #NicolasMaduro #Maduro #ElChapo #CriminalJustice #BehaviorAnalysis========================================20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/profilingevil========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When Ashlee Buzzard stood in court and entered a not guilty plea, outrage followed almost instantly. For many watching from the outside, especially in a case involving the death of a child, that moment felt unbearable. How could someone who’s been accused of something so horrific not plead guilty? We’ve seen this same reaction play out repeatedly, not just in the Buzzard case, but in other emotionally charged prosecutions like the Rob and Michelle Reiner homicide and the Daybell murders, cases where the severity of the crime collides head-on with the realities of constitutional process.Let’s explore why guilty pleas almost never happen at the arraignment, why that moment in court is procedural and not moral, and then, why demanding speed in cases like this often undermines the very justice people are asking for. Profiling Evil breaks down how life sentences actually work in the United States and why “life without parole” doesn’t always mean what people think it means. How does the United States compare to the rest of the world when it comes to permanent punishment, are we an outlier, and what does all of this mean for victims, families, and a justice system trying to balance accountability with constitutional limits? This video is not about sympathy. It’s about understanding the system we rely on to speak for the dead.#MelodeeBuzzard #AshleeBuzzard #RobReiner #MichelleReiner #NickReiner JJVallow #TyleeRyan #CharlesVallow #TammyDaybell #Chad Daybell #LoriDaybell #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #Homicide #Murder #Missing #Utah #California #Idaho #Court #Criminal #Behavior #Crime #LifeWithoutParole #LWOP #DeathPenalty #Justice========================================20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/profilingevil========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
