Lauren and Jarrett dissect the shocking events involving a grandmother, Tiffany Adams, who conspired with others to murder Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelly. The trio discusses the intricacies of the investigation, legal ramifications, and chilling details that have captured nationwide attention. Lastly, they cover details surrounding Karen Read’s alleged involvement in the death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe.
