On 9th December 1998 in Utah a 17 year old boy high on meth, walks into his grandmothers home where his mother, sister, girlfriend and his 5 day old son were present.

He shoots his partner five times striking the head and arm.  He then shoots his own mother in the back and arm (she survived).  He then fires at his sister.

He proceeds to shoot himself in the head.  The bullet lodges in his frontal lobe of his brain and he survives.

In 2000 this teenager was sent to prison and served 12 years being released on parole.  

After release, now in Southern Indiana, the man, was arrested, stark naked, strangling another person who was almost unconscious.  Our subject was tasered, twice and then handcuffed and arrested. But let out, pending charges.

In July of 2014, this same man is involved in a police chase which involved crashes, tasers (again) two police departments and tyre spike strips.  He was let out on bond.

On 11th September 2014, then aged 33 this same man is arrested for murder, rape and cannibalism of an ex girlfriend.

This week we discuss:  Murder, Attempted Murder, Mental Health Treatment, Lenient Sentencing, Cannibalism
