The Tragic 1999 Shooting Death Of Halloween Prankster 17 Year Old Brandon Ketsdever

This is a remastered re-release of a bonus episode from October of 2018 entitled The Tale of the Castle Doctrine.  I was asked to take the episode down.  It was one that was suggested to me by a listener.  But someone closely related to the story took issue with the episode, so I pulled the version where I thanked the listener who recommended this to me and I am re-recording it renaming it the Tale of Brandon Ketsdever and the Castle Doctrine.  I feel these cases are important lessons, especially for young people who might be getting into mischief or pranking.  It is a cautionary tale and serves as a reminder that our kids and young people need to think about the things they do, make good choices, use better judgement, and that they are not immortal.
