Hi Newcomers! To anyone wanting to check out my channel, I recommend NOT starting with Anthony Palma as my prod skills were still super rusty. If you want to try a popular one that is actually good, check out The Coldest Case Ever Solved:

I'm a sucker for Twitter/Political drama, so for anyone else with that same weak spot, I have a theory on Steven Crowder Vs Daily Wire. TL;DR It's actually about The Blaze. From all appearances on Crowder's Twitter TL, his email list was (contractually) jacked by The Blaze...

If I had to pick my one biggest pet peeve in all of true crime, it would probably be people not understanding what "circumstantial evidence" means. Whatever my take on a case, you'll never catch me saying anything like "the evidence was merely circumstantial."

Every single take from every single angle about what this trial means for men/women/survivors is BS. A 6 week long multi million dollar trial over statements made in a major newspaper is about as inapplicable to any situation a normal person will find themselves in as it gets.

Pretty much every time I'm writing a script there's a thought in the back of my mind of "I wonder if this might pass ad friendly filters" and then inevitably an unavoidable phrase that makes me go "nah that's out" today it was "viciously bludgeoned to death."

One thing that strikes me about the US justice system is how they seem to hand out life (MEANING LIFE) sentences like candy. In NZ and many other places it's damn near impossible to commit a crime so heinous you'll never be given a shot a parole, *ever*.
