Thanks Vicki :)

I enjoy this channel very much. Thank you for creating it! Your voice and accent are fabulous and always, the topics are compelling

Me too! Maybe the sentence for the lodger was more because it wasn't in the heat of passion - that was over - but it was deliberate in cold blood. Also the man was defenseless as he was asleep and he was also disabled (deaf) which made him even more defenseless. Perhaps those circumstances made a difference in sentencing.

Ditto

Me 2 I love the old stories. I've never heard about most of them. And I'm 64. Stay safe

MOMCa, I have this episode on _Crime to Remember_ . Bob Irwin was ultimately sent to Mental Hospital, irrespective of what the NY court thought of him. But if that's true then it exposes the ILLITERACY of the then NY Judges on how to judge Psychos! I mean Psychos can also appear very normal!

that about sums up the legal craziness of New York "oh he was perfectly normal" 😆

Exactly - Anyone who wants or tries to mutilate themselves to keep from urinating and becoming aroused is definitely insane.

Same with my family. Grandma always originally intended to go back to Puerto Rico

My ancestors came from Ireland, too, and they stayed to buy land here in Canada once they saw the bounty of the land and so many others from Cork living around them in their small Alberta settlement, where my own father was eventually born. Brave men and women in those days, most desperate to build better lives, and so many did.

This story is repeated among many Mexican immigrants to the US. Their goal is to earn money for a few years and then return to their home town in Mexico and build a nice house. These people represent a significant fraction of Mexican immigrants to the US, as compared to Mexicans who immigrate to the US with the idea of becoming permanent residents.

@@kentbetts A large number cannot or will not go back as their municipalities tend to have worsened in terms of narco infiltration. I’ve known about 5-6 Mexicans that wanted to do precisely that; work in the USA and buy a rancho back home; all but one came back saying that they were extorted or felt it was too dangerous. One bought back his fathers avocado and guava orchards, only for the cartels to seize them.

I think it's the longing of your birthplace and ancestry that made a lot of immigrants want to go back. I think that feeling's called hiraeth. I know my great-grandparents wanted to also.

Like he planned to accidentally chop off the other womans head.

Accidentally strangling seems especially difficult...

"Ooops!"... "Whoop!" .... "Well, darn!"

Omg 😂😂😂

I know right? 😳

Hello Alex :)

Isn't that the truth!!!🙏😢⚖️❣️

But why should such tragic ugly stories give you a lift and brighten up your day? Human nature is really kind of weird.

I didn't state that the tragic event was delightful in any way, but being able to learn and remember those forgotten and deliverance of these briefcase subjects, the history the tone texture of his voice, is what I enjoy!!! I suppose your perception of my comment was misperceived!!! I do not enjoy tragic events if so wouldn't I be but a delighted human!!! Exp: I could enjoy my own tragic life!!! Have you ever heard there is three sides to every story theirs, mine, and what really happened!!! Well that's wrong everyone's telling the truth even if the stories don't add up it's all about how they took the information or situation their perception of the event, this makes noone a lair ever, when you think of things that way, you can agree to disagree but mostly ppl like to argue about facts when you take into account that everyone's perceives things differently you finally realize that things are different than they seem and everything is for lack of better terms not so black and white as we are taught..... but I can see why someone would think I was a sick individual for liking these videos but clearly it was taken out of context but I appreciate your, comment and I'm being sincere not trying to be a negative person!!! It's always better to ask if you don't know bc you know what they say when you assume...........Makes an ASSoutofU&ME!!!!! A wise man once told me don't believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see and even then your may miss understand the situation!!!!

And her mother was a divorcee which was also scandalous. Had he not also killed a man, he would have been released from prison in his mid-40s/early 50s. So wrong.

I caught that part too, 99 years for the murder of a man, and yet only 20 years for each woman he had murdered just as viciously. And to think, this was only a lifetime ago.

He probably got 99 years for Frank (as opposed to 20 for the women) because it was a targeted killing to leave no witnesses. Utterly callous. The women he knew, he had interacted with them before, so maybe they though that was more of a 2nd degree murder (unplanned and crime of passion) thing? It’s the only thing I can think of that would also be true in today’s court system. But current day feminists can get all twisted up in their “muh victim” feels about it if they want too I guess.

Chillie, it's not "deaf border" but "boarder"! We all makes such typos! 😆

@@noa3550 , back then in the 1930s, societies everywhere -and also Judges - were very Misogynist!

My daughter's are named Sophia and Isabella. Beautiful names

Yeah. The good 'ole days were not the good 'ole days...human nature never changes. William Golding observed that no matter what system of government/education/ religion is imposed on the populace human nature (positive or negative?!) never changes for better or worse (?!) and problems will never be solved.

We are literally living in the modern day version of these stories..

Ask yourself what it is exactly that's threatening to pull us all down, then ask yourself what's enabling it.

True except these are also reality. but they're so old that it feels like a distant dream

Thanks Holly

My exact thoughts about the sane ruling after being hospitalized and the longer sentence for the killing of a disabled person.

Yes, I'm no psychiatrist, but considering he was deemed insane both before and after the murders, it seems likely that he was insane all along. No doubt it would have been best if he had stayed in an asylum permanently. What a tragedy.

I agree 100% with you he was likely insane the entire time; I think there is a different standard applied for legally insane when faced with crimes. He likely knew right from wrong and was able to understand the charges. I remain confused by the difference in length of the sentences for the victims. Color me crazy 😜.

I've said it many times, you can almost look into their eyes and see they are not right.

Sleep! MacBeth hath murdered sleep. MacBeth shall sleep no more. The killing of the defenceless is unforgivable. Glad you commented on this.

Thank you, interesting. Why only 20 years each for the other murders.

Yes why the third victim… unless he was murdered first … 🤔… to eliminate him from later interfering /preventing him from intervening in the planned attack? The three of them was a savagely attacked. 😳.

@@aisha2370 sadly because they were women.

@@kerrbear1980 Nope. Women were actually valued more than men despite what the poison of third wave feminism has poisoned your mind with. Does anyone ever shed a tear for the billions of men who have died in war? For the likely trillions killed and crippled by back breaking labor? No. No one gives a shit. Female victims of crimes were virtually always valued higher than men. And women were much more likely to get away with or be punished to a much lower degree for murder. Just like it is today.

Thankyou

It is a form of narcissism? That if I can't have no-one can, Moreover I can behead her and keep her head for myself at least......

Rejection is difficult to take , effecting each of us to varying degrees. Throw serious mental health problems into the equation and it can easily become explosive. However we all have choices as to how we respond or react. It can easily be on the down side of Human Nature. If you are prone to envy or jealousy - time to ask for help. Best of all give JEALOUS people none of your time. That game invariably ends in tears.

I think I have seen most the X Files episodes but cannot remember that one, maybe I need to watch them again :)

@@BriefCaseOfficial it was some older show, late 90's early '00's... Must have been csi or something... Great work again this week BC!

@@BriefCaseOfficial always fun to rewatch X Files!!

There was a prisoner who carved a fake pistol from a bar of soap and blacked it with shoe polish. He escaped.

@@carlcushmanhybels8159 that's cool, I think I actually remember that!! But I'm thinking of another one, and I could almost swear it's from the word x files episode where they find that family of inbred ppl who impregnate their own mom.🤢 Or maybe the sandman one? I'm remembering the protagonist, who I could swear was Mulder, finding a little doll carved out of a soap bar, and then they find another on a super organized desk and learn the perpetrator learned organization and soap sculpting in an asylum. Or I could be nuts w age by now, I am over 40. 🤣

One seemed clearly inaccurate.

@@VioletJoy 😂😂😂

If they know they did a crime they are not insane. 😮

It is a well-known fact that psychiatrists are "just a little crazy themselves" when it comes to understanding and treating their patients. They also have the highest rates of substance abuse & suicide, in any profession.

Right? 20 years for a woman, 99 for a man!? WTH!!!!

@@nunyabiz3557 and Stacy L. -- the murders of the women could be construed by the defense as 2nd-degree murder: an impulse of rage/circumstance. The murder of the boarder was definitely premeditated -- the man was asleep. That could explain the difference. EDIT: See my next comment here for the actual reason.

@@eggsngritstn O, PULEEEEZ!!!!!

@@Virus-xm7qc Wow, you seem to really know what you're talking about.

@@eggsngritstn 😂😂😂I know, right?!!

That’s what I thought also. The women weren’t deemed “morally upright” and therefore not worthy of justice, just a slap on the wrist of murderer for them. Sickening. The POS should have gotten the death penalty for all three.

Unfortunately, you're probably right.

Exactly!

Yep! That's what I thought too. With that being said it appears that women's lives were considered only 1/5th as important as a mans. That kind of felt like a slap in the face😕 New Yorks judicial system was blatantly misogynistic. Motto.... "You can kill five women to every man in New York City!"

You might be right.🤔

Not pointless at all! I always wonder about the fate of the dogs! And that's an interesting tidbit

Thank you, I was hoping the dog survived. Better if they all did, but thank you :)

I noticed the dog and had wondered so, thanks! You just saved me a Google hunt.

Thank you for the info!

I love these old stories to The art work. This was a sad one.

Morning!

Good morning Caddy! Happy breakfast!🥐🍫☕🥞🥓🍳🌰🍞🍓🍎🍌🦋🌈🦄🌞🎃

Yes, many here have stated the same thing, which seems accurate.

Thanks, will do!

Thanks I will look into it

That would be something interesting and different.

Small world, I was born in Beacon and raised in Glenham and know the place well. Used to know so many of the Guards.

Hope you feel better soon

Thanks Berenice

‘Aunt’sorry to be that person 🙄

Thanks Alex

Thats very interesting, do they ever mention Veronica at the school

@@BriefCaseOfficial I don’t think they did. The grandparents mentioned it though. I found out about it reading newspapers of old cases. It was interesting to go back in time.

Hello Joanne

@@BriefCaseOfficial Hello BC 😊

Hi Perry!

@@bettyjames4155 Hey Betty. How's things?

@@perrydowd9285 Things are good here! How's things with you?

Thanks

Thanks I’ll give the podcasts some thought

Totally agree..I only listen to 4 shows that I enjoy for content and the narrator.. Brief Case..That Chapter..this is Monsters and Coffeehouse Crimes..most newer ones are just repeats and some narrators are not easy to listen to..

Thanks James the channels you mention are some of the best on YT, its nice you mention Brief Case with them but I cannot really put myself in their league

I think it's because the older crimes have an element of history to us. BC doesn't dwell on gory details he's more interested in telling a tragic story. Everyone in my experience, enjoys listening to an interesting story.

Thanks Lillian

Thanks Holly

Welcome back!

Wos thats so interesting, you actually posed at the Rockland County, New York, Community College sculpture classes, so you do know about the case, thankyou for your comment :)

Thankyou

Thanks Jody, I’m going to make a few more playlists soon

Thankyou

If it's any consolation, I'm an hour late too. 😂 I hope you recover from your dental procedure! 🤗😊🦷🦋🌈🦄🌞🎃

@@meemurthelemur4811 Sweet! 😉Thanks!

So it worked in your case - cos you remembered it :)

Thanks for watching

Thanks Elke

@@BriefCaseOfficial No mention! Always here listen and relisten to you. Thanks

Sadly because throughout time most murders seem to be of lovely young women by cruel men.

Thanks

Thanks Kerry

You're right. With many mental hospitals closed and outpatient treatment difficult to access, they walk amongst us.

Thankyou
