Stopped by for the story. Stayed for the sarcasm. 😂

"The phones had spent a lot of time together." Im jealous. My phone doesn't even like me.
Did he say a non-parole period of 13 years 7 months? That's all? Sounds more like a drug charge!
You have no idea..This is nothing. The worst cases are about sexual violence. People just get off the hook even when they get sentenced for brutal rapes. The best thing about the USA is it's hard core sentencing. Lenient punishments are the worst part about where I live in Scandinavia.
Guess she was a helluva of drug 😂
@@cht2162Because they don't believe the 'victim' , get it. Probably you don't. She got consequences for her toxic behavior, learn from that. He's paying for being a fool and giving to her. He shoulda walked.
A drug charge in the USA you mean! Not in the rest of the civilised Western world, thank god.
@@lawrencefrost9063 Yeah ofcourse, you are right 😴😴😴 That's why America is failing and becoming shit hole of drugs , guns, violence, crime and weak leadership.
Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about why some species of cacti catch fire while others do not.
😂😂
😄😄😄😄😄
😂
Took me a sec! Good one!
😜🤟
I live in Auckland, this was huge at the time. The 'sentencing' was just bizarre. Poor Carmen and even poorer Jack. It's all just horrible.
I think Carmen got a much rougher outcome than Jack from this incident.
Murder is bad enough...but when I hear dismemberment has taken place it gives me the heebie jeebies. 😱
Yeah it takes a special kind of sick to be able to do that.
well said, Maureen!
I can barely handle the poultry and beef already prepared by butchers, I can't fathom dismemberment of a person. 🤢
Also it makes Jesus' job more difficult, having a headache trying to identify the dismembered body when it reaches heaven (if the individual murdered was Christian)
@@Dr.Pancho.Tortillano problem for Jesus, he recognises our souls not our physicality. God Bless 🙌
As you can tell by my channel moniker, I'm a Kiwi and as such I'm pretty familiar with the sentences handed out for serious crimes in New Zealand, I read the court news daily. Also, because NZ only records around 50 homicides a year for the entire country, any murder that is slightly out of the ordinary is usually covered by nationwide media, as are the court cases for those murders.
New Zealand is ridiculously lenient on murderers. A life sentence here for an unplanned murder will usually see the murderer walking the streets on parole after 5-8 years if they behave themselves inside, show remorse and a willingness to rehabilitate themselves back into society. A premeditated murder might attract a 17 or 18 year sentence but once again, good behavior etc will usually see this sentence cut in half.
The worst murderers such as child abduction murders, murdering police officers or mass murders will attract 25 - life sentences but we have only a small handful of murderers who will never have any chance of freedom such as Brenton Tarrant, the Christchurch Mosque shooter who murdered 51 people in about 30 minutes who was sentenced to 51 life sentences without the chance of parole.
In New Zealand a person who is caught manufacturing methamphetamine will get a longer sentence than a murderer.
Well, addiction does ruin a lot of lives in a ripple effect, so this policy isn't irrational-so much cost in every way to society. Still, they could be serious about punishing both homicide and drug trafficking.
You are incorrect. Minimum parole period has to be at least 10 years for all life sentences and can of course be longer. It is impossible for a murderer to get out under 10 years
@TheFlyingKiwi, I am wonder if you have any insights on why the murder rate is so low in NZ at 50 per year. Maybe long sentences and death penalties as in the US aren't much of a deterrent?
@@michaelw3897 much lower gun ownership. The US is an outlier. Guns are the reason
New Zealand is a Commie country.
“And thought he was the most attractive man she had ever met. Maybe Carmen didn’t get out too much during that time period.”😂
Al ta'am v're'akh ein l'heetvake'akh.
She was on her back a lot, so many men rode her..
@@KaarinaKimdalyKlingon?
that was brutal
@@lot6129how would that keep her from seeing their face through
I love how respectful the rescue team was as they were removing her remains at 6:39. We rarely see that kind of heart in people these days.
During my aunt's funeral, a young man who was thought of as a bad kid stopped for the funeral, took off his hat and put his head down.. it was surprising and heartwarming and brought me to tears. That stuff matters. Bless them
Yes, I agree with you.
And I wish some people in comments could be as respectful.
Very rare and wonderful to see! It's also heartwarming how much the judge took into considering this monster's vile act and spared him a real sentence. Luckily, he could be out in a little over 13 years. It's so heartwarming to see a judge so considerate of all those involved! What a guy! (sarcasm folks...this is sarcasm)
Unfortunately in the US, our officers are probably too used to murder
Dismembering a body should be another charge itself. Just as bad as killing.
NO, Druggie!
It actually is a criminal charge
A gruesome sign they are capable of almost anything. Imo
@@rhondasisco-cleveland2665ALMOST? Okay a person like Dexter is KINDA better than an average k*ller but a guy who'll hack somebody up over bs IS the worst...
It is
I wonder what happened to Jack? Poor kid. Thanks, Dr. Grande!
Carmens mother took him to South Africa to live with her ❤
Poor Jack. South Africa has turned into a real hell-hole
@frakismaximus3052 no it hasn't. It's a wonderful country. Every country has problems.
@@TheFireproofWitch Thanks! 🥰
@julieme7927 Some more than others though...
SA does have some beautiful landscapes, fascinating nature and rich human history. However, the economy is going down the shitter and the rate of violence is wayyy higher than a majority of countries. Corruption is higher too as are infection rates of diseases.
I like South Africa as a country but they (the Gov.) really need to sort out some of these key issues.
I'm from New Zealand. Carmens little boy went to kindergarten with my nephew. Carmen was beautiful and lovely. Brad was a controlling nasty selfish monster. Rest in peace, dear Carmen ❤
Apparently many disagreed with your assessment of Carmen. Regardless, it's a tragic story
Do you know what happened to Jack?
Obviously that's what she would say about him
@@icturner23He died on the titanic.
Thank you for the information.
I think that there was prejudice against the victim because of her line of work. He should have used that prejudice to try and gain custody. Instead, He beat her to death and he tried to cover it up. I definitely think that 13 years is too light.
I was a court reporter for 15 years. In my personal experience, MANY judges routinely lighten murder sentences if the victim was a person of "disrepute" (prostitutes, homeless, drug addicts, etc). It enraged me so much and utterly disillusioned me with the justice system. I'm no man-hater.. but male judges did this WAY more often then female judges in my experience (I even kept a notepad after a few years of being on the job, I'd tick everytime a male judge gave a light murder sentence vs female judge and male judges gave lighter murder sentences 40% more often).
Her work is truly not work! It's literally being paid to lie down!
I certainly don’t think that women should prostitute themselves. It’s dangerous and demeaning. However, it doesn’t make what he did less egregious. His sentence was too light
I wouldn’t advise any woman to choose to engage in sexual activity for money. It’s dangerous and demeaning. However, it doesn’t make his act any less egregious
@@HathurWomen always are discriminated against. Thanks for posting your research on male entitlement. He should have also been charged with child abuse for the trauma he will endure. I agree that he should have gotten a life sentence. 😮
Unbelievable! Must have a good attorney. I can follow most of these murders by cause (with Dr's calm explaination) right up to the dismemberment part. The minute you have the ability to hack someone apart(the mother of your child) like it's nothing, you are waaaay over any empathy for parole.
*explanation
Move the "i" to the "-tion.
Much like:
Maintaine --> Maintenance
Only 13 years?! For what he did?! I shake my head in disbelief. (Thanks, as always, Dr. Grande).
I'm thinking because she was a sex worker, that would reasonably put any husband on edge. Or at least I'm guessing that could have been the judge's point of view. Plus maybe a supporter with some influence.
Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead --- Benjamin Franklin.
My new DocG quote is: "...mostly because of the murder part."
Stop everything! It’s Grande time! Let’s do this! ❤⭐️ So much appreciation for all your hard work in your videos, Dr. Grande. ❤ We look forward to a fresh video from you every day. ❤⭐️
Love Dr Grandes subtle burns ❤😂
I bet he enjoys making these videos and editing them. He gets a lot of props from his fan base and he gets to look down on the people he laughs at.
After all, he edits his videos to maintain his poker face when he makes
his cutting comments, should he burst out with supercilious cruelty.
I liked his educational videos better.
The recent 'm' alliteration stream was lovely, but the 'f' alliteration stream I found for some reason dissonant and noisome .
I hope his wife is happy.
I give it to the police for checking a year previous to see Bead was looking online for ways to murder
That was some serious "pre-crime" sh*t
13 years? His fiancée is happy to trust her life and that of her children with him in the future? The judge just ignored all the indications of planning? 🤯🤯🤯
Seriously, this situation just kept shocking me. Maybe it was Carmen’s career as a sex worker that contributed to the pathetic judgement? She wasn’t a highly valued contributor to society, but Mr Engineer was? What an all round disgrace 😐
That's right, she wasn't and he was.
@@dadgonetroppo3668 He is a murderer, regardless. He should have kept his genitals to himself. Apparently he had murder on his mind for a while, it appears.
What kind of judge would be too incompetent to hand down an appropriate sentence to a convicted murderer?? Does this judge have dementia ??
I was actually thinking the same thing. Bias contributed
I'm sure that his fiancé is turned on that her future husband is a murderer who dismembered his ex-wife. Psycho, co-dependent women are turned on by these sick freaks.
We appreciate your insights, Dr Grande. We will always support you.
The man just won't say "Wheelie bin". Wheeled trash bin...nonsense.
Wow NZ has a hell of a revolving door as a front gate. Crazy short sentencing.
If he ever gets parole, he should have to be roommates with the judge who was so lenient on him.
13 years for murder?! A girl who committed a $100 million dollar fraud is facing over 100 years in prison. Mostly due to the ripping off rich people part.
"Won't someone please think of the wealthy?!"
Hmmm almost makes you wonder who's in charge $$$
This is New Zealand. They don't punish harshly like the US.
Restorative “justice” 😂😂😂
Good Evening Dr. Grande. Would you please consider analyzing the case of the Kansas City Chiefs fan's found frozen to death in friends back yard?
Isn't that so crazy? It will be interesting to find out the toxicology report. I don't think they tested the guy that survived.
Dats cold 🥶
Merch idea for you, Doc; a t-shirt with "... Mostly because of the murder part." on it. And another one where it's a cartoon of you saying it.
And:"Im only speculating..."
😂😂😂
Don't you think if you purchase garbage bag, a saw, bleach, rubber gloves and cable ties, you should be reported to the FBI LOL
This was in NZ.
Especially when buying all at one place. It is a killer kit. Should purchases like this be filed with the store in case?
There is no FBI in New Zealand.
Well , he did move to New Zealand. He couldn’t really get much further away than that. The landlady and the fiancé seem a bit naive, as does the perpetrator . Strangely low sentence.
And she stalked him to extort him.
This is my new favorite show. Dr. Grande bringing the sassiness and sarcasms with a straight face gets me laughing everytime 😂😂
Oooh, I’m here in the first 10 minutes! Love the dry sense of humour Dr. G! I’m a student of forensic science and criminology and I love your videos!
“Mostly because of the murder part” 😂 My favourite Dr Grande line.
How heartless and cruel!! He does not deserve to be released or have a relationship with his children ever again.
Clearly premeditated!
Look you all, stop killing your ex spouses mmkay?
I think it's time for some "Mostly Because of the Murder Part" merch from Dr Grande.
Oh yeah, I'm in!❤
Oh yeah, I'm in!❤
I love his calm sarcastic tone and delivery ❤ it’s perfect
@@leighleigh8725 it is also perfectly practised.
Another sad & terrible case. Agree having a child when theres incompatiblity & stress in relationship makes it more volatile. Thanks Dr G😊💜💜
If I ever had a relationship with someone who was toxic and the relationship caused the birth of a child, and later the relationship ended, I would put as much distance between the mother and child as possible and never look back. From my observations in life, this draw of a child to be within the circle of a relationship that involves a toxic person is always ruinous. It can really never be any other way. Sever all contact and move on. Toxic people will always, always use children as a weapon. It’s the nature of their toxicity.
Trader Joe, he should have kept his genitals in his pants. If he did not have the ability to do that, he should have at the very least used a condom.
Irresponsible sexuality has real consequences, in this case, baby making.
Fornicating is all the rage.
I would not be surprized if alcohol was involved initially. Alcohol makes for very poor choices.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
People blinded by lust.
Hindsight is 20/20. His fiancee is a fool if she doesn't dump him, difficult as that may be for her.
Unfortunately, common sense sense is uncommon, and too many people have to learn the hard way, through their own painful experiences.
I apologize if I sound cynical, but this Brad Callahan has already demonstrated his sociopathy via murdering the mother of his child.
wish my mom realized this when she was forcing us to visit our father while knowing how toxic he was and then suffering all of the consequences of finding out on our own as children 😭
But what about the child?You are his or her parent as well.
go ahead as long as you pay child support.
@@anneflynn9614Maintaining that contact will only lead to difficulties. Sever it all, including the child.
I don't understand these people that come forward after the fact and say they heard somebody scream and moan or a loud thud and they never think to call the police? I hear this all the time in cases
He got life. It's not like he automatically gets out in 13 years. My guess he stays in a LONG time.
He was no angel because he disliked Carmen, and (don’t forget!) paying child support. He wanted to have his son nearby but someone else’s paying the bill.
else. NOT else’s.
Now for the hindsight. Don’t sleep with someone you would not at least be willing to raise a child with if a child happened. Even though there’s protection nothing is 100% and you can’t count on your partner to use it. Particularly if the relationship has been abusive or controlling the abuse never ends while they are tied to a child. Most of these relationships aren’t this extreme. They’re just toxic for the children involved. I wonder what happened to jack?
Her life was only worth 13 years
Wild !
They probably don't value sex workers in NZ
Maybe less.
That's 13 years to many lmao she was worthless anyway
the murder was not structurally sound
No murder could possibly be structurally sound: it is a contradiction in terms.
Wow, what kind of judicial system do they have in New Zealand? Giving murder is a get out of jail, free card 13 years are you kidding me ! He bludgeoned a helpless woman he should never see the light of day again
Eligible for Parole in 13 years - doesn't mean he will get parole then, but he will probably make a model prisoner. Many people with similar sentences here serve much longer than the parole period.
@@user-mc9qh9xc6v I understand that, but in certain cases they need to throw away the key
Can you analyse why I currently seem to only be able to fall asleep by listening to doctor Grande on quietly to drown out bad thoughts of a traumatic relationship break down…
Assume it’s the soft friendly voice over the murder part.
Dr. G, I have a question. What is your take on mankind in general when we seem to be more likely to click on when the material that is most horrific or gory in general? It must be difficult to maintain an audience when you are forced to entice by participating in the mainstream need for shock and horror. I will say that ( in my humble opinion) you've managed to walk that razors edge without losing your integrity. I have the utmost respect for you. You are definitely more than just a cool shirt 😉....70 in Hawaii 🌴🌺
Another great analysis
Jack is the true victim here. Once again the child is left to suffer. What an awful story!
I like how Dr. Grande spends a significant amount of time, when called for, lambasting the perpetrator for being a terribly incompetent criminal 😂
I would hope that no one would aspire to competency in criminality.
1/31/24 What a poor excuse for a Man (pos), jail with parole is ridiculous!! It’s clear from history search 1st degree murder. Hope he doesn’t make it out of jail. Victims behavior is no excuse to take her life💔💜
Dr. Grande, can you do a video on the chiefs fans freezing? There looks to be a good amount of info out there about it now
Drugz
Brad could have applied for the sole custody of his son, justifying his claim with the fact that the child's mother was a sex worker. Or maybe these days judges set such claims aside as irrelevant.
Judges have to undergo feminist training.
lol yeah re-education. Waiting for the day feminist have to go to 'reality education '.
This was in New Zealand. Sex work was decriminalized there more than 20 years ago, and in general the population doesn't hold the same outdated opinions about sex workers' ability to be good parents that you find in some other countries, so, no, he couldn't have used that as a justification.
Was Brad even paying his child support? Was maybe she was forced into it because she had to have enough money to raise her child and herself. unless you have education you can’t really get a good enough job to pay for a flat plus yourself and a child.
If Brad didn’t want to be responsible for a child then he shouldn’t have had a romance.
I’m sceptical of Carmen’s detractors. I wonder if they had rather more in common with her than they wanted to admit, and were projecting the blame for any clashes they’d had onto her.
For one thing, leading people astray isn’t a real thing, just like falling in with the wrong crowd. The people presented as victims in such scenarios are just as much participants as anyone else.
Thanks for being the voice of reason.
Awesome job!! Man I missed watching Dr.Grande!! It’s crazy how life gets so busy!!!
Imagine a friend of yours come to you and ask you to help dispose of a body. In the middle of the ocean. What do you do? Not only he just killed a person, proving how dangerous he is, but now you are automatically a loose end. By accepting to help, you are putting yourself in the perfect position to be killed and if you refuse.. well, does the guy even need to say anything?
That is a very fucked up situation. I don't blame the guy for playing along and calling the police as soon as he is in a safe position.
My theory, just my opinion, the judge was lenient on Brad because Carmen was a sex worker.
Because she was a violet toxic provocotuer.
Always interesting
Thank you ❤
Thank you as always
I remember when he did videos on sensitivity and specificity ; hardest working guy on RUclips
13 years omg that’s shocking
Dr. G! 😂😂😂best ever analysis man 💯💯💯😎👍
If she hadn’t been a sex worker I bet his sentence would have been much longer.
No, NZ is very lax on long sentences, very liberal society, sadly too many are moving to Australia, "f/off we are full"
Prostitution, escorting, brothel keeping, and living on the income from prostitution are all legal in New Zealand, since 2003.
No, all of our sentences are a complete joke. Unless you are manufacturing meth, then for some reason they throw the book at you.
@@incamoran9532 Being legal doesn’t necessarily change people’s attitudes.
@@possumaintdeadthat’s a long sentence in nz my friend Helen’s murderer got 2 years.
What happened to Jack?
So we have about a year until hell breaks loose again. Great. Good job justice system.
Poor Jack.
Unfortunately for Carmen I suspect the inadequate sentence may have been affected by her prostitution career. Sadly society views women like this of low value
It's devastating, but true. They are known among law enforcement as "the less dead". It's completely gross.
Prostitution is Illegal in British Territories!
She also Attacked him previously in 08
Although Knocked Out people don't Scream and Whimper.......Semi Voiding the Witness statement 🤔🤔
@@statementleaver8095 thanks for proving my point 🙄
More than 'adequate', she destroyed his life with her low value toxicity, provoked , provoked, provoked. And got consequences. Seems 'victims' often are not just the innocent by stander. Damn!
@@michellebh@michellebh Yeah that's right she's a real upright citizen, a woman ! , a mother, Ohhh ! And just by bad luck a 'victim' . He shoulda walked.
Thanks!
Don't play Misty for me.
Eligible for parole after 13 years & 8 months?! Ridiculous miscarriage of justice. And I don’t care if Carmen was antagonistic and angered him, you don’t blame a victim for being murdered.
Have you seen the Lego cactus set?
I was asked to buy a Lego set suitable for a teenage boy, and though at that age I would have loved a cactus set and almost bought one for myself, I ended up getting one of a car.
New Zealand has low punishments for murder. Technically they are on life parole. Most people here think life should mean life, or at least long enough for the person to no longer be a threat due to age and infirmity. Either way, taxpayers will pay to keep them alive - either in prison or out of prison.
Earliest I've ever been here! Dr Grande, please consider covering the case of Cristian Fernandez, the youngest person ever convicted of 1st degree murder 🙏🏻
Excellent work as always. Any plans to analyze the case of Ruby Frankie?
Good afternoon, Dr. Grande! 🌵
Ridiculously short sentence for such a hideous crime.
The murderer eventually pointed the police to concrete evidence. It was also evidence in concrete.
I'm curious... why on earth would someone move to where their ex lives? And in another country! 😮
To stalk and harass and extort money.
Weird … he moved away to avoid his kid
Then .. snapped when she wouldn’t let him see his kid 😂
Make up your mind bro
@@leighleigh8725 Ohh Now this. One final thing for your small comprehension,. More likely he moved away from a toxic monster to get on with real life. We don't know, DO WE ! And we don't know what his relationship and arrangements with his kid was at that time, Do WE ! Good Bye.
@@dadgonetroppo3668 are you medically castrated by chance ? Maybe sell a baby for clout 💕
@@dadgonetroppo3668 or maybe she just needed money to raise her child. That was also his that he didn’t want to support.
So hilarious, thanks Dr Grande.
I am surprised on how people can get away with murder by being "triggered", I do not see one picture where Brad look even pleasant, he is really not attractive. He was sick and tired of Carmen , he wanted his new relationship and child, without her in his life. He planned it when his new relationship started. He told 3 people and not one of them contact the police? They should be accountable. That judge should ask if he would have provided the same sentence, if it was his daughter.
I’m always shocked at how lenient Australia and New Zealand are with murderers.
8:58 - dry humor at it's finest!
Would love your interpretation of the case of the drake hammer attack. It’s an unsolved mystery but her got convicted simply because he was having an affair. His wife didn’t see who hit her. She was struck from behind at the church and the money was gone. I forgot his first name ill look at it again. He’s still in prison. He’s my best friends grandad.
I thought this would be the video where he finally diagnoses somebody. 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂
Now THAT is hilarious.
Thank you.
Another sicko behind bars 🚮
not for long though
Rest in peace Carmen.
There are numerous comments about the short sentence. Judges are no different from other people. Many people have some form of mental illness. The judge could easily have a significant mental illness, who knows? If you knew the judge was a psychopath and had fantasies of killing, then you probably would not be surprised about the short sentence. In the absence details about the judge, there really shouldn't be a surprise. I think all that can be said is that Brad got lucky.
Like Judge Paul Mulander
Good for land lady to check after hearimg screaming tho.. Most do nothing & mention it once a murder investigation begins.
Brad's fiancee is going to have a rule when he gets out, the kids will not be allowed to play baseball!
Lol
Dr. Grande can you please analyze the case of Maurice Nasmeh and Jeanine Harms?
Sad case😢
This is so Grande.
I used to think engineers were intelligent; I now understand this is not true.
How do ordinary people end up doing such depraved acts?
Have you ever thought about doing videos where you update us on cases that were pending? Like a where are they now video.
gruesome
I would say this was solely a crime of passion, but those internet searches are oddly specific
I'm not diagnosing anybody, just speculating that the woman who heard a scream and whimper and then knocked on the door but was ignored had to get creative when people asked why she didn't call the police.
She must have been insanely annoying if people were still willing to say how annoying she was despite knowing what happened to her.
It might not be true, some people like to gossip and say bad things about people, make up things that are not true. You can always assume things.
@@enjoystraveling True, but the vast majority of the time we only hear praiseworthy statements about someone who has passed.
Obviously no one deserves what happened to her. I am just saying it could take an especially unreasonable person for people to be that candid even in death.
Their relationship was so volatile that I believe that either party was more than capable and willing to off the other. He was just quicker on the draw in this case. Those little boys (now teens) are who my heart bleeds for the most. What a mess.
