TW: Child Murder

In the early morning hours of September 22, 2010, Christine Perolini’s world was shattered when her 13-year-old daughter ran into her bedroom screaming, “Daddy’s trying to hurt us!” Minutes later, Christine’s 4-year-old son, Blake Mitchell, was unresponsive, and her husband, Joseph Anthony Mitchell, was barricaded in another room—covered in blood with self-inflicted stab wounds.

Joseph admitted to killing Blake and trying to murder his two other children… but claimed he had no memory of any of it. His defense? He was sleepwalking.

In this episode, we dive into the heartbreaking timeline, the chilling 911 call, the controversial trial, and the shocking verdict that left even the jury questioning what really happened that night. Was this the rare case of a “sleepwalking killer,” or something far more sinister?

HUGE thanks to Madison who wrote and researched this episode!

In this bonus episode, we’re breaking down Hank Brennan’s full closing argument in the Karen Read trial—and y’all, it’s a ride.

From “she was drunk so she must’ve done it” to “she didn’t mean to hit him… but maybe she was enraged and wanted the last word,” Brennan makes some bold claims—and we’re analyzing every twist.

We’re talking:

Brennan’s boulder-off-a-bridge analogy 👀

The “I hit him” vs “Did I hit him?” statements

Why Jen McCabe suddenly became the villain

The taillight evidence he didn’t trust… but wants the jury to

Let’s be honest—did Hank Brennan just crash his own case?

In the early morning hours of June 24th, 2012, 27-year-old Danielle Thomas called 911 from her apartment in Queens. She didn’t speak directly to the call taker, but she could be heard pleading for help in the background. Her boyfriend, Jason Bohn, was refusing to let her leave. Two days later, Danielle’s body was found in her bathtub, covered in bruises and marks. Jason had disappeared, leaving a note on her body, apologizing for what he’d done. Investigators soon learned that Ivy-League lawyer Jason Bohn had been abusing women for years, and that Danielle’s murder was the culmination of months of emotional and physical abuse.

In December of 1993, Officer Martin Ganz was on patrol when he pulled over a car for a traffic violation.  As he went to make contact with the driver, shots rang out, and as Officer Ganz tried to retreat, the driver followed him, executing him behind his police cruiser.  An investigation followed, and although investigators were certain they had the right man, a lack of evidence prevented an arrest from being made.  A few months later though, the man struck again, and justice was finally found in the murder of Officer Martin Ganz.
