Hi Dr Grande. Just to give you a few updates on the luke Mitchell case. Those essays about killing a girl in the woods do exist and lukes legal team has them. The police said that the essay "killing a girl in the woods" did not exist.. But the guy wrote 2 essays about killing a girl in the woods and they are actually called "no remorse". Those were hidden from the defence. Also..lukes legal team have Jodi's brothers medical records. Jodi's brother had a history of being psychotic and attacking Jodi, his mother and his other sister. His mental health team advised that he not be returned to the family home but he was anyway. He attacked Jodi 5 weeks before she was killed Please look into these updates. The police have also been caught prematurely destroying the crime scene evidence...knowing that lukes legal team have been fighting to get them retested with modern technology There is so much more that has came to light since this video

Local to me. There is a LOT wrong in this case. Other people who very definitely SHOULD have been suspects, including a close friend who was found to have Jodie's blood on them, and another guy who had the opportunity to do it and who admitted a few days later, to a friend, that he had "done something really bad". Mitchell would have had to walk home after the crime, a fair distance on a busy, sunny, evening, covered in blood. Nobody saw that. There are lots of problems with this conviction. Sadly, most of it is not covered by most press coverage.

Dr Grande, I just happened upon one of the most disturbing events I’ve ever heard about and thought you might be interested in checking it out. It involves the death of Melissa Norby. Trust me; there is much more to this story than you might expect. Now that I shared that, I have to watch your video. At 64, if I don’t do something while I’m thinking about it, it’s forgotten 😉 & I’m really anxious to hear what how you would assess the people involved in that case! Take care!

Marilyn Manson was blamed for everything in the late 90's early 2000's

Must admit it took me a few minutes to get used to you saying “Mitchell” it was like you were talking about me 😂

Not enough evidence at all to put this young man in prison for a month, never mind his life! God help Luke and his family.

Marilyn Manson is a convenient scapegoat, but he's just a performer. People try to pretend he has unholy superpowers or something.

The escape from the wall to the mother's house is impossible. I've been there and done the route.

"Resetting passwords is found to be as stressful as retiring", lol...that's sad if true.

I remember when all this was happening. Though I didn’t know Jodi and Luke personally, we had mutual friends. Many believe it to be a miscarriage of justice concerning this case. I honestly do hope that if Luke is innocent, both Jodi and Luke can have the justice they deserve. Thank you for covering this! Hello from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿:)

Awww yeah, doctor got the sponsors. This isn't a diagnosis but I think he getting THAT money lol

Poor old Manson's forever getting blamed for murdery shit. He may have turned out to be a total creepster but a mind altering puppeteer of teens i think is marginally beyind his capabilities! But I spose they can't blame ozzy any more as he's on a whole nother planet these days😂

Dr. Grande, Luke Mitchell had arranged to meet Jodi Jones at the end of the pathway where he was seen waiting for her. That is the reason he was near the scene of the crime. Other people were known to have been on that pathway and nearer the scene of the crime, and two others who knew her were actually at the scene of the crime itself at around the time when the police state that the murder took place. Regarding the brother who was watching TV. He was doing this in his bedroom upstairs. It is quite feasible that he was not aware of someone else in the house. Luke's mother stated that Luke was in the house when she got home and he had been preparing a meal, as usual. The police and you seem to be assuming that Luke's mother lied, rather than accepting her as a more reliable alibi witness than a teenage boy who is engrossed in TV in his bedroom. There is no doubt that the police targeted Luke Mitchell and failed to properly investigate the crime. The investigation was a fiasco and a disgrace. Whether or not Luke Mitchell killed Jodi Jones, he certainly did not get a fair trial. A missing jacket is not evidence of a crime, and neither is an empty knife sheath, whose missing knife which was seemingly too short to have inflicted the wounds. Proximity to a murder scene is not evidence of involvement in a crime, particularly when other people also known to the victim were even closer. The police stated that the crime was not a sexually motivated crime despite Jodi being left naked, and the DNA of a man known to Jodi being found on her clothing. I believe that some was semen. These are facts which the police chose to ignore or find explanations for, rather than investigate the murder properly. They requested a profile from the FBI and chose to conceal the FBI report. It was redacted in the evidence given to the defence for the trial. I think I am correct in stating that in a recent interview one of the FBI team who reviewed all the evidence from the crime scene has publically stated that he and his team believe that Luke Mitchell is innocent. I seriously question your judgement in being prepared to offer an opinion based on such flimsy understanding of this case.

I'm in Scotland and remember when he was convicted. Like you said, a lot of people seemed to think he did it but he shouldn't have been convicted on that evidence. I suppose it comes down to whether we want safe convictions or any conviction, and I'd personally prefer the former.

When you pay for KZfaq premium but the ad is in the video

Never heard this one! Happy Thursday Dr. Grande!

Many have serious doubts about the safety of his conviction. In time we may find this is one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in Scotland.

Every time I see a video about one of these cases where the police and prosecutors use a very weak connection to suggest guilt, I wonder if the fact that I watch Dr. grande will one day be used against me as evidence for a crime I didn’t commit. After all, I’ve seen a dozen stories like this. I even comment on them. Very suspicious.

Your dry humor always gets me! Your delivery is simply superlative Dr. Grande 😁

What missing jacket, no lies about whereabouts, she put a fight , and no DNA you need to read the book innocents betrayed

I always make up dr grande scenarios in my head lol ....like someone tries to rob dr grande and he just gives an unbothered look and says “what are you doing , judging by your impulsiveness to get my wallet you fit the criteria for antisocial personality disorder and vulnerable narcism ....this isn’t the way you get ahead ....and you....just ...look silly” .....and walks off 😂

Mitchell's brother was reviewing pornography and would not be doing that if he was home so he figures he wouldn't have been home

I like the SM7 the best out of all the mics you’ve used. You’re clear as a bell.

Not convinced he is guilty.

Hey Todd totally wrong on this one mate - Luke got a free CD on the cover of a rock magazine (that had one MM track on it) some time AFTER Jodi was killed - Not one speck of his DNA on Jodi and not one speck of her blood/DNA on him - you should be ashamed man.....

Didn't him and his mum pass polygraph tests? I know they're not 100% accurate, but still...

Good job on that transition to the sponsor, Dr.

I'm sorry but I find it impossible to believe that a 14 year old child can brutally attack & murder his girlfriend in a fit of rage without leaving a spec of dna of himself on the victim or anywhere at the crime scene & no sign of the victim on him to connect him to the crime. And that is just the start of the inconsistencies within this case for it to be a seriously unsafe confiction.

Dr Grande l gave your analysis of the abuse of that eĺdery lady by the police to our local police. The two female officer cried when they heard her arm was broken. The police were absolutely appalled by their behaviour. You got a thumbs up for exposing them. Thank you so much Dr Grande.

Hello Dr Grande! Hope your having a good week!

Dr. Grande, I would be very interested in your thoughts about the life and suicide of Michael Hutchence in Australia 11/22/97. Thank you.

The next book from Doctor Grande will be called: "Murder, he wrote..." :)

Hello Dr. Grande... Nice to see you. I always enjoy your videos and your good looks. Your gentle voice is so soothing and calming. Thank you. Take care. Stay safe and well.

Can’t believe he was jailed on purely circumstantial evidence. Her 2 cousins were at the scene at the estimated time of death but “couldn’t remember” why or what they were doing - how this was ok by police and not looked into further is strange. They only had their sights set on Luke. Also Semen from her sisters boyfriend found on her. How did he manage to commit the murder and rid himself and the crimescene of his own dna and leave others? They also stated Luke was grubby and hadn’t showered in days so had not returned home to wash.

What the heck?! 😆 I just woke up, saw this video and remembered I had a dream that my husband got those plants in the background and decorated our living room with them. One of those, ohhh that was just a dream moments.

Love your channel!

Hi Dr. Grande! I have been late latetly to your videos or you are posting earlier. However I never miss it. Love from Brazil 💚💛

You are always very interesting. Totally dig your humor. Thank you

Damn, not even a minute in, and already unforgivable error - sleeping w/your dealer!

Your facts are wrong on this case Dr Grande. You should read Dr Sandra Lean's book on this before posting crap that you're reading from media newspapers.

I remember when this case was repeatedly featured on Scottish news channels. I found it odd because it did genuinely appear they had no evidence against Luke and that he was unfortunate enough to be the 'obvious' suspect. I was never convinced of his guilt. It seemed excessive to sentence him for so long when he was only a young boy.

This case is jaw-dropping. The more you read about it the more shocking it becomes. I urge people to watch the documentaries about Luke Mitchell, about the “evidence”, and about the police methods and media frenzy at the time. There’s also a petition to have an independent review into the case.

Only Dr Grande would make me consider getting a VPN.

Thank you for another insightful video, Dr. Grande. Can you please also do a video on the Mollie Tibbits murder, as I was surprised that the jury had no reasonable doubts, when they recently came back with 1st degree murder.

I love u and ur videos dr grande!! ONE OF MY FAV KZfaqRS

@ Dr. Grande and community...The wit and wisdom you give is fun and refreshing. I am not familiar with this case but your wit is funny. Thanks Dr. Grande🤔❤️✊😜

Not sure if the KZfaq comments section is the right place to suggest a video but let's hope that you'll see this. Last year, I got a book as a Christmas present. It's a book about people in rock music who have died way too young. One of the people they mention in this book is a guy who called himself "Dead". He was the singer of a band called "Mayhem". He killed himself when he was only 22 years old but besides how he died, I think that there's a lot of interesting facts about how he lived. The guy was obscessed with death. He did things like burying his clothes, let them rot for a while and then wear them to feel like a corpse. He also carried a dead crow around in a plastic bag and before a show, he would open the bag and inhale the air in the bag. Before killing himself, he wrote a note, starting with "Sorry about the blood...". He had slashed his wrists, his arms and cut his throat from ear to ear but he was still alive. That's when he wrote the note, then he grabbed a shotgun and shot himself in the head. Shortly afterwards, the guitar player of the band found him but instead of calling the cops, he left the house, went to a store to buy a disposable camera, went back to the house, re-arranged some items around his dead friend and took pictures of his dead body. You can see one of these pictures, it was used (uncensored) as the front cover of one of the band's albums. He also kept pieces of his skull and then sent some of them to his friends as a present. So yeah, I think that there's a lot to talk about here and I would love to hear what you think about this! Could you check this out and then tell us your opinion about this young man? That would be great!! Thanks a lot!! Sergio

In Scotland the jury has a third option, "Not Proven" - the suspect can still be retried. The fact that they didn't come to that conclusion suggests they felt certain of his guilt.

Dr. Grande, your book was fascinating and disturbing; it was an excellent read! I've read hundreds of true crime books, but you took on the most notorious serial killers in a manner I've rarely seen. Pun intended, but you didn't just speculate about the mental illnesses or personality disorders that those killers may have had. You looked at their histories from their births, first crimes, first murders, their lifestyles at the times their murders were committed (e.g, married, children, how they earned their livings, etc.). The perspective that you introduced provided the link that's been missing in nearly all of the books and stories I've read. The book about the Green River Killer, (to which you mentioned in your book), by the famous true crime author was an especially long and detailed one; however, as good and excellently researched as it was, I felt that it was somehow incomplete. You provided the missing link in succinct, easy to grasp and fluid prose. With each killers' backgrounds revealed, it answers some very complex questions about their behaviors; however, as you pointed out one has no way of understanding completely why they kill and how they kill. There have been and are many people who'd had similar issues and events occurring in their formative years but went on to be successful, productive members of society. TO ALL GrandeFam: His book is really good and at times, I found myself sitting at the edge of my seat turning pages as fast as I could to learn why these evil people committed unspeakable crimes. Edited for grammar.

Such a cop move to not just arrest you for murder, but also insignificant cannabis charges lol

My childhood best friend was in the same school class as Luke and Jodi, and good friends with them both. The media swarm at the time was so ridiculous that he left school mid-year, and I don't think he was the only one. Just discovered this channel. That'll do for nightshift listening. Cheers.

This was an interesting case. They had very little concrete evidence against him. They focused in on him, only, from the start. I don't think it would have been enough for me to find him guilty, by legal standards. Then again, he DID have a Marylin Manson CD. So, yeah, he did it! 🤣 Thanks Dr. Grande, your humor in this one was on point, as usual! ❤

#1 problem- he was handled/questioned by police without access to lawyer. It is possible Mitchell was nervous about being tied to a murder he did not commit and destroyed items he feared could frame him. Reading too much into too little.

Interested to hear your opinion on this. It's still pretty widely discussed here in Scotland, more so now because of the recent documentary. We also have a "not proven" verdict, I think it's unique to Scotland's legal system, so the jury must have been convinced. Thanks Dr. Grande.

How interesting, never heard of this case! Looking good, dear Dr. Grande!

I am from Glasgow and remember this in the news a long time ago. Wasn’t expecting this to be covered by a American on KZfaq. Great channel in witch I am learning about a field, that I initially knew nothing about. All the best Chris

Dr Grande since your in UK territory would you consider covering "The Murder of Karl Bridgewater" it's an old unsolved case in which a man named Bert Spencer is thought to be, if not the murderer then involved in some way.

Curious if you'll cover the story of the young man who caused the death of a little 9 yr old girl, while also inflicting serious brain injury to congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, and other injuries to bystanders: Jared Loughner. I believe he was thought to have schizophrenia, but I know that people with schizophrenia aren't usually violent.

Dr Grande,I think you should read a bit more about Luke’s case as he never sold cannabis,and what you are saying about the knife is One load of crap,,maybe you should have read more into the facts before coming on here and giving your opinion

I Wish That Your Podcast or Episodes were Longer. Regardless. I Dig Your Show. Keep up the Great Work

Just finished this video and the patreon alert comes up that he posted a video there too! Yes!

Welcome Dr Grande .

The knife wasn’t missing. It was handled into the police

Ive been looking into this case for the last week. I'll concede him being the the area at the time (he was meeting her), yes his mother made a huge mistake by lying about him being in the house. All the statements about finding the body were made by Jodi's family and all the statements change a month later (all the statements changed exactly the same). Jodi's cousins bike was seen where her body was found at very close to her time of death. As to your point about a safe statement because they wouldn't let him out anyway. I believe if Luke had admitted it he would be out by now.

Wow, this notification just appeared as I was walking home from the pub and now I want to leg it home to watch it as you are the first international you tuber to cover this (you da man Dr G). This happened not far from me and when I was in Edinburgh recently there were fly posters all over the place for the Free Luke Mitchell campaign. I will report more when I'm home and watched it, thanks Dr G!

Dr Grande is par excellence explaining the difference between not guilty by reasonable doubt vs the concept of innocence. A few guilty people will be protected to avoid wrongful conviction.

Luke is absolutely innocent.

Thanks for the belly laugh sir! Made my day a little nicer. Great video thanks!

The alibi issue - imagine your a young teenage lad and you're asked do you masturbate to porn while other people are in the house. It's easy to see how as a young naive lad the police were able to pressure his brother into revoking his statement. Note that he never once said that Luke was not in the house - only that he didn't see him because he wouldn't masturbate if he knew he was in the house. That's a key difference. On another note - you know who else's statements changed drastically...every single other person in the search party that found Jodi's body. More on that later... The jacket - there's been no hard evidence presented that the jacket existed before the murder. The police weren't even searching for a "missing jacket" until later on. There is a lot of strength in the argument that the association with Luke Mitchell in the jacket (which was bought after the murder) was due to the vast number of pictures in the media of Luke after the murder. I'll show you how that could be linked... The eye witnesses are connected to the victims family. That is a key point when you consider the chain of events. On the night Jodi's body was found Luke was with Jodi's sister, her sisters boyfriend and her gran. Original statements indicate that Luke's dog (who had been trained to track) picked up and signalled at a bit of the wall. Luke then climbed over the infamous V gap in the wall and walked up to where the dog had signalled and found the body. Shouted back to the others who all reported in their statements that he seemed shocked and terrified.... Police arrived at the scene, within an hour the rest of the search party had been sent home together, with all of their clothes and possessions including phones. Luke Mitchell was taken to the police station for swabbing, hair samples and his clothes and phone taken, (note that his hair hadn't been washed). They focused on him from the get go. Then the media started with the hysteria stories about him being a spawn of satan and all the usual tabloid nonsense. It's easy to see how the statements would change from initially saying the dog alerted and Luke was shocked and terrified...to Luke knew exactly where to go and showed no emotion. The media influence altered the families recollection of events. Not just that but it also altered eye witness recollections too. Imagine a young local girl who you know is murdered, you want to help find who did it, then you have a vague recollection of seeing somebody at the entrance of the path, then you speak to the family and it becomes clear from them that the police are focusing their investigation on Luke Mitchell...his picture has been all over the news in a green parka jacket..."oh you know, I think the person I seen MIGHT have been wearing a green parka jacket" - coaching from police a while later your statement is that you seen two people very closely matching these descriptions, suddenly they have to place Luke Mitchell in a green parka jacket - but guess what they can't find it or any evidence it was burned. The knife sheath - obviously a very weird thing to do. But he was a weird kid. Here's what we are being asked to believe on that though: we are being asked to believe that this 14 year old in the space of 45 mins brutally murdered his girlfriend almost decapitating her - then managed to leave no forensic evidence tying himself to the scene or Jodi's murder to him. Leaving very few eye witnesses, none of whom could give a strong testimony. But also the same guy just decided to incriminate himself on a knife sheath and leave it in his house for the police to find. To believe both of those things together is a movie plot, not reality. Is it not more realistic that a naive 14 year old oddball carved that into the knife sheath in a tribute thinking there was no way he was actually on the hook for something he didn't do? This all snowballed from police incompetency from the start. They destroyed any chance of building a real case onanybody. Then they were too close to the family and the media and allowed that to completely taint an ongoing investigation. When a case relies on purely circumstantial evidence you need to look at how that evidence came to be and in this case the evidence is all tainted. The fact they only focused on Luke Mitchell is another red flag - if you only focus on one suspect and gather circumstantial evidence you are ignoring any circumstantial evidence that points elsewhere. The only thing that would have diverted them away from Luke would have been hard forensic evidence and they completed botched that up so it was never going to happen. There are a number of persons of interest in this case that have never faced proper scrutiny because from the get go the police thought they had their man and they had tunnel vision. Their incompetence caused others to follow that path and it all snowballed from there. Here's a sobering thought for you on this: if Luke Mitchell was not persecuted by the police and media because he was an oddball mosher/goth type and instead he was persecuted because of his race, he would have been out a long time ago.

This boy is innocent and this is the worst case of injustice I've ever heard. Not a shred of evidence against him, no DNA, no forensic evidence and loads of police incompetence. I'll be devoting my life to getting his story out.

Smoothest ad transitions on KZfaq

Dr. Grande, I have a request for your analysis on the Robert and Michael Bever case in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on these two murderers.

Some fact in video not correct or missed out . The other students was not in school with Jodi or Luke he attended the local collègue so was in his twenties. A lead never followed up by police There was DNA found at the scenes from Jodi sisters boyfriend on her t-shirt and bra why was he never a suspect ? Also DNA in a used condom found 16m away from the body that was not Luke Mitchell . That man was identified 3 years later why was he not a suspect he claimed to have been there at 8pm that evening on a summer night in Scotland how could he not have seen the body. Luke Mitchell’s knife was with the police and it was not much bigger than a pen knife . The wounds on Jodi could not have been inflicted with this knife. Luke bought the Marlyn Mason CD 2 days after murder not before . Everyone in the search party for Jodi claimed in their first statement to Police that Luke dog alerted to the wall next to Jodi’s body, but in court they all changed that to Luke himself found the body . Luke Mitchell and his Mother have both passed Lie Detector tests. There are so many holes in the conviction . Search Dr Sandra Lean for the facts on this case .

Dr grande almost pronounced Edinburgh correctly

Hi Dr. Grande, could you do an analysis on Seung Hui Cho (the perpetrator of the Virginia Tech massacre)? It's rare to find a video with either him as a topic or just the shooting itself.

I really wish people would stop throwing Marilyn Manson under the bus.

Dr. Grande, would you please consider covering Jerrod Murray? As a true crime addict I've seen so many types of criminals, yet he's one of those people whose behavior shocked me to my core.

I love that Dr. Grande threw shade at Lindsay Lohan, Ellen Degeneres, OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony in a single analysis. Another vulnerable young woman murdered by a predator. Thanks for your unbiased analysis Dr. G!🪴🪴🪴🪴

Is anyone here familiar with the online personality "Fedsmoker"? He's a situation that demands speculation.

Dr grande coming for Ellen and Lyndsay Lohan. I'm living for it! Have you considered drama/commentary 😄 At the same time.. are people STILL coming for manson? This brings me back to 99 when I was a teen in high school. If you know the reference then you know. Manson has nothing to do with this

It doesn't make sense to me that intelligent people actually believe an artist (in this case Marilyn Manson) could be in any way responsible for another's criminal activity. It's safe to say Manson combines grotesque imagery with disturbing, dark, lyrical themes, yes. Being a member of a society that values our first Amendment of Free Speech, I think it the responsibility of the listener (or their guardian) to turn the channel, forbid the book, etc. rather than censor the artist.... Dark, disturbing lyrical themes are nothing new. We do not blame HP Lovecraft , Anne Rice, or Stephen King ----all masters of horror literature----for inspiring crimes. Likewise, we do not blame horror film makers (think of the pseudo-BDSM torture implied) in such "classics" as Saw, The Human Centipede, or Texas Chainsaw Masacre. We also don't look to other forms of art (think of the paintings of Goya, for example) or the Nihilism of Nietsche to explain the emptiness/boredom/senselessness of homicides in ^thrill killings," Finally, if it WERE true that Marilyn Manson had this power to influence homicidal maniacal behavior, given that his albums have sold upwards of 50 million, we should have seen a rampage of slaughter greater than the one here (though every life lost to such tragedy is immeasurably sad, to be certain). In short, Dr. Grande, as a long-time viewer, I am disappointed in your relatively recent dapplings into true crime, and further, by the sensationalism of the title of this video which appeals to our collective lower sense of rationality. Please do what you do best: which is unlocking the mystery of mental afflictions of everyday people without diagnosing anyone. Thanks!

It's 2021 and some people (not you Dr. Grande) still think that music interprets are somehow responsible for the behavior of other people. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Rammstein, MM, Rotting Christ, etc. Nonsense. It's still only a form of art and how to express your inner feelings. It's a part of being free to speak. The only people responsible for their own (re)actions are the people themselves.

thanks for the Manson DVD recommendation!

Dr. Your Video's are Fantastic!! Love Them!! Thank You Sooo Much as Always!!

What is so evident from all the many comments of the comments is how needed the chance to interact on serious (and not so serious!) content is! Whether it be your shirt colors or the cacti or the lizards or the many thought-provoking psychological problems, everyone has a thought! Thank you for this useful and hard-working forum!🤓

Ur facts are wrong. I am the same age as Luke and I also used to phone the speaking clock as it was called. He bought something 2 days after the murder that came with a Manson free gift. He wasn’t a Manson fan, Also he was texting Jodies mum as her phone was broken. The witness also in court recanted her statement and the best one also he was with his pals also at the time. U forgot to mention he had his German shepherd who was training to be a tracking dog and he met her family then put his dog into tracker mode and the dog led him too her.her sisters boyfriends dna was also found on her body who with Luke discovered her body. The discarded condom found nearby with unknown dna. , her cousin and his friend seen at the exact location she was found at her estimated time of death that all her family have changed their statements. Man not matching Luke’s description seen following her? Last but not least someone had came foward and admitted to this crime and police discarded them and said they had mental health issues. Ur gonna annoy a lot of Scottish people with this video as currently there is protests in both Edinburgh and Glasgow and a huge free Luke Mitchell movement. Please anyone who watches this put it off and instead the three anything goes with James English on the Luke Mitchell case.

Get those sponsors, Dr Grande!! I can't believe they still have "dial-a-clock" in Ireland! I spent a large portion of my teenage years calling "dial-a-clock" waiting for my boyfriend to call so my mom wouldn't hear the phone ring (call waiting). Oh, the 80s!!!

KEEP em Coming!!!!

I think Luke is defo innocent, He passed a polygraph, whomever did this had a lot of hate in them. As for the brother watching pawn, the house may have been empty when he started watching it, but i*m sure once a young chap gets engrossed he would be oblivious to anything else going on. I think it was the chap with the scratches on his face, he lived by the field where she was found so he could easily have got home for clean up undetected.

Doctor grande - how about the life and personality of Billy Joel? Or Elton John? They both have rather harrowing stories. Billy Joel struggles with substances, depression, suicide attempts during his career. It would be an interesting video I think. Maybe the Beatles too, The Rolling Stones - different kind of analysis would be warranted for how they affected the zeitgeist of their time and tapped into a counterculture which led to a lot of psychedelic use (represented in the music) and normalized that sort of behavior throughout the 60s and 70s. I’d love to hear your thoughts on psychiatrist guided trips, the history of psychedelics and their use, up until and including today with cannabis, and how more broadly these figures played into a societal expectation to be using drugs and how mental health and personality factors played into both the artists themselves, and the audience to whom they were speaking. What I just wrote is pretty convoluted, but hopefully you get what I’m saying. I think it would be a neat video. Thanks again doctor grande !

I'm sorry to say this but it seems like a lot of police in the UK have "lasor-vision"

with the topic being about shedding light on the etiologies of the case. Do you think they will ever come full circle with negotiating beliefs in prison?

Interesting to hear the international stories from outside the US.

Not sure why this case made me think of this, but perhaps you could analyze the case of R. Budd Dwyer? I think that would make an interesting video.

Dr. Grande, your videos are always so calming despite the content!!

Hi Dr. Grande: Thanks for this video. Was wondering if you could provide your insight on the Lori Vallow case in Idaho. Yesterday, a Stay was placed on her court hearing due to 'Incompetence' via report and findings by a 'licensed mental health psychologist.' Almost certainly, the State of Idaho will order her to be evaluated by a court-appointed psychiatrist. What are your thoughts about the findings of a 'licensed psychologist' vs. a 'licensed psychiatrist' and how the difference of findings may apply in this case. Also, what are the signs of a malingerer or someone feigning their mental health?

Would love you to the "Black dahlia" case

I don't see how having a fascination with death correlates in any way with an interest in Marilyn Manson music... those are the kind of amalgams that should never belong in a murder case.

He may be guilty, but it seems like he was convicted on alot of theory and circumstancal evidence. I never watch these documentries. I feel they are biased.

Thank you for being part of my daily evening routine with your daily mini-lectures, Doktorchen*. 🙂 Feeling less lost then. Very pleasant way of advertising. *cute form of doctor in my native lang.
