  • Wanted to love it but

    No need to be so dramatic, was always so happy when you substituted for Nancy Grace but you are getting to be as annoying, not as rude, but too dramatic as well. Stop beating a story to death, Mica committed suicide please move on, every family doesn’t want to believe their child/sibling didn’t. No need to repeat a sentence twice we heard you the first time and the dramatic pauses aren’t necessary either. Stop thinking you need to sensationalize a crime that is already disturbing.

Baby taken from pregnant woman’s body after killing in Michigan | Banfield Full Episode 12/4
Q: What do you think the most important information was that you learned from your interviews?
I learned the timeline, which is so important. And I learned inconsistencies in the timeline that Courtney was given and the descriptions that she was giving of Rebecca getting into that mystery car on November the 3rd.
Luigi Mangione pretrial; Brian Walshe murder trial
Q: Was there anything surprising about the jury's reaction to the evidence?
They might question the absence of physical evidence like DNA from the food wrappers or other items that could connect him to the scene.
Luigi Mangione pretrial; Brian Walshe murder trial
Q: What did you make of the police's actions regarding the backpack?
I think that was a problem because if the cops knew right away it was him, they should have acted to secure the backpack immediately.
