(Part 3/4) Six years after he murdered his two roommates, Devon Arthurs stands before a judge in Tampa and says he’s ready to change.

But as psychiatrists describe hallucinations, self-choking episodes, and conflicting diagnoses—from schizophrenia to schizoaffective disorder—one question dominates the courtroom:

Is Arthurs genuinely ill… or performing for leniency?

Host Andrew Iden examines how the case twisted through years of mental-competency hearings, how experts view the psychology of radicalization, and what drives young men toward hate.

Featuring analysis from Luke Baumgartner (George Washington University’s Program on Extremism), Hannah Gais (Southern Poverty Law Center), and journalist Ali Winston, this episode unpacks the intersection of ideology, identity, and illness in one of America’s most disturbing true-crime stories.

(Part 2/4)

Two days after the Tampa double murder committed by Devon Arthurs, police in Key Largo, FL arrest Brandon Russell, a Florida National Guard member, nuclear physics student and the co-founder of the extremist Atomwaffen Division. Also, he's Devon Arthurs's only surviving roommate. What they discover in his car and apartment reveal the terrifying reach of a violent, accelerationist neo-Nazi network.

In this episode, host Andrew Iden investigates how Russell built Atomwaffen from an online forum into an international terror collective, his obsession with extremism even after serving time in federal prison, and the sinister plans he and his followers carried into the 2020s, including a failed plot to take down Baltimore’s power grid.

From bomb-making manuals to propaganda networks, this is the story of how hate mutates, survives, and spreads.

Being punished for crimes you haven’t committed yet sounds like Minority Report. But in 15 states—including California—it’s the law. Under the Sexually Violent Predator Act (SVP), offenders who’ve already served their time can be held indefinitely if experts believe they’re likely to reoffend.

In this episode of DEVIANT: Off Script, host Dan Szematowicz sits down with Dr. Samantha Stein, forensic psychologist and author of Evil at Our Table: Inside the Minds of the Monsters Who Live Among Us. Dr. Stein is one of the few evaluators trusted to decide whether violent sexual offenders should be involuntarily hospitalized after release.

We dive into:

It’s a rare, unflinching look inside a system that blurs the line between justice and prediction.

Anthony Sowell terrorized Cleveland’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood in the late 2000s. A convicted rapist and registered sex offender, he went unnoticed for years—even as neighbors complained about a foul stench they thought came from the sausage factory next door. By the time police finally acted, 11 women were gone.

Hosts Dan Szematowicz and Andrew Iden take you inside Sowell’s house of horrors. From the overlooked red flags to the night a woman leapt from his attic window, this is the story of how one man preyed on a neglected community—and how authorities failed to stop him.

This case isn’t just about a serial killer. It’s about ignored warnings, systemic failure, and the lives of Black women who deserved better.
