I like how the coffee shop has retained its prices. It used to be overpriced hipster level but, with the last couple of years taking its financial toll, it’s now a reasonably priced place 😂❤
Why do I feel sorry for him?
Consent can’t happen when one is passed tf out. There are untold numbers of “pillars of society” who are, in fact, full-blown predators.
To feed off your point, it is often those pillars, aka straight-A students, who end up needing therapy the most and nobody questions them. Nobody looks for flaws in the straight-A student.
It costs them their mind’s health, often leading to the loss of decency.
So so many. This man was a creep and finally preyed on the wrong person. Good.
Boom!
Thank you!!! Someone with some sense in these disgusting comments.
Facts
I don’t think Galfy was an innocent old man… you don’t just meet someone in Times Square and then invite them into your home. Idk if Kai was selling himself for money either, but that chance encounter is not normal ESPECIALLY in NYC.
I’m wondering that as well….. Like…. If Kai was lying…. Why was s3men found at the crime scene (and then not tested)…? Usually when you find a body by some of that…. It’s not consensually placed… But that’s just my thoughts.
Agreed. Sure Galfy could be a kind spirit trying to help out but history says otherwise. Also, there was so much left uninvestigated in this case. And the more cynical side of me wants to think this was settled based on class rather than a full finding of fact.
Kai was sexually assaulted and roofied. True crime channels need to get a f'in get.
Yep! And also the fact Kai was DENIED a r*pe kit test, and wasn't mentioned that he was SA'ed as a child and already had extensive trauma if Galfy did indeed SA him again. Not saying he is innocent, but he sure didn't have a fair trial!
exactly. We dont know exactly what happened but based on the story and evidence it would be very unlikely that the old man was innocent in all this
Crazy how he has to spend the rest of his life in prison all the while the system lets out repeat offenders.
He did get away with unaliving the first guy tho
@@maggiefranks6849 and it seems like he was the driving the car that drove into the workers...
He said "I was in the driver's seat, I mean passenger seat, in the interview, why did no one pick up on that ?
Yeah I found his sentence to be unusual. Isn’t murder usually like 25-30 years? Why was his 50+? Especially when you consider the shady circumstances and that Kai is clearly mentally unwell
@@kittykaht1944He could've grabbed the steering wheel, which was my first thought.
@@rt66vintage16 my grandma always said great minds think alike. 🤓
Hearing about this case again hits extremely close to home, Kai is my cousin and I'm still not sure of a lot of details about him as my family has always kept what happened with him hushed during this case when I was a child but I do think they rushed the verdict instead of looking into crucial case details. I'm genuinely surprised to hear someone outside of the family stating the fact there was no SA kit done for him and no testing was done on bodily fluids on the scene, thank you for looking so deeply into this case and covering all the facts Adrian.
I actually watched a full documentary on this after seeing it I definitely believe it was self defence, everyone was saying the man helped him and he was attacked, what is a man in his 70s let's young men under the age of 30 stay at your home. Kai as many people your going to try and defend yourself he probably just loss it. Alot of elderly men do SA and R***, because of their age and they have money open your eyes people their is always two side's to every story and sorry to say Adrian but this is very one sided towards Kia.
Kai 's trial was a shit show, the investigation was non existent. Had this dirty old man been a bus driver kai may have gotten a fair trial but up against his fellow lawyer's, judge's he didn't have a fighting chance. I'm not saying this man deserved to die, obviously not but everyone deserves the right to a fair & unbiased investigation & trial & that most definitely did not happen here.
@@sharongrigg5336 totally agree with your 100% the whole thing was terrible the way it was done, as I said in my previous comment everyone just saying he was a lovely man and nobody wants to be honest and mention how disgusting that man was, red flags everywhere with that elderly man who loss his life and No I'm not saying he should of died they needed to have opened their eyes and ears to see what actually happened.
@@sharongrigg5336 the documentary I watched it on Netflixs it might still be on there I don't know, but the reporter who interviewed Kai and actually got to know him was more detailed, informative and not all one sided about Kai.
That was my first thought. An SA kit should have been done. Kai probably has PTSD. Even if being home-free was his choice, I'm sure he was exposed to and possibly experienced some pretty traumatizing things during his time on the streets. It's no wonder he reacted violently to waking up to the belief he'd been drugged and SA'ed.
That's 73 year old attorney was a predator! Hanging out at the bus station, trying to get down on their luck kids back to his place. Play stupid games, get stupid prizes, I guess. Yup, Kai is unhinged, and though he may not have been a violent predator, on some level I think the attorney got what he had coming.
I agree, 100%.
Yeah but at the same time also you can’t just murder anyone you feel like. Without a trial. It’s not how law works.
Didn’t he BUY THE KID THE TICKET?
well said
@@nhmooytis7058 So what if he did? Predators frequently buy gifts for their victims, it’s a gaslighting tactic.
Murder is obviously bad but the old man was shady as hell
"MURDER IS LE BAD!!!"
@@youcantbeatk7006 I'm forced to say that or people would get mad. But in reality I have no sympathy for rapists
@@CyborgWolf Stop caring about what people think on the internet.
he thought he picked up a trick
Kai is shady as hell. He's the common denominator here.
My dad was poor and, not "homefree", but definitely free-spirited as a young man and had multiple older men who would try and lure him with rides, alcohol, etc. Its more common than we think for these young men to be taken advantage of.
Because he is an attorney means nothing, NOTHING. I've been homeless, and one thing I've learned during that time is to protect myself, not from the others living on the street, rather protect myself from the people who seek to "help" you. I've heard, experienced and seen so many situations of seemingly "good" people trying to "help" you only to learn too late that they want something else from you. You cant do anything, your homeless and they are not, who is going to believe a homeless person over an outwardly stand up citizen who owns a home, no one, no one will believe you and they know it.
😮 see I thought he was guilty because of Netflix doc but now that's make sense 😢
@@sarahrean7174Netflix is so NOT a reputable informative tool. They deal in entertainment, they're not the Smithsonian.
One look at domestic violence rates with cops and the whole "people working with law are upstanding citizens" argument is already disproven.
The attorney was 100% a predator preying on vulnerable people
Attorney's generally do that..
@@LiveGoodSMW Facts. The vast majority are complete scum. The system of scumbags covered for him and railroaded this boy into prison.
Fucking 100%.
@@LiveGoodSMW sounds like someone's pissed he didn't get into law school...
@th-sd6ni no, it just sounds like a regular person having an opinion on how shifty attorneys are. You must be one since it offends you. Why don't you try to sue him over it?
This one hits on a personal level. When I was 19, I was staying in Vegas and preparing to fly back to Illinois. I had about 75 cents and my plane ticket and about 10 hours to find my way across the city to McCarran, so I started hoofing it. An elderly, well to do "gentleman" picked me up on the way and, since I had so much time before I had to be at the airport, offered to take me to his condo for a meal and a few beers. He also wanted me to "get some sleep". After multiple advances and an attempt to grope me in my sleep, I told this guy that I was way too uncomfortable and couldn't stay. He was gracious enough to still drive me to the airport, (I just realized that it was probably to prevent me from heading to the police station. Huh.)
Anyway, it was a terrifying situation, even though I was 19, 6 foot tall and 200 pounds, and this guy looked remarkably similar to our Joe in this story. I'm not a violent person, absolutely abhorr it, actually, but I was 19, broke and desperate. You can imagine the thoughts that flew through my head. It was one of the most terrifying situations in my life. And I've been through some doozies. So maybe Kai isn't as creepy as I thought. I can at least comprehend, if not condone. Peace.
So sorry you had to go through that. I hope you are feeling secure again, x
exactly
What a horrific experience. I’m glad you were able to get away safely.
I got your point but I think the jury hooked the fact that this guy can kill and used to live around free as a bird....no more now.
I don't care man I live in a little town in Italy but if a guy like this was free here around my community would not be very happy.
@@MrJoebuck74I guarantee that there are people capable of murder in your little town.
I believe Kai. I've been a drifter as well and have seen a lot of things. Sexual predators do buy things for you, trying to guilt you into things or trying to make you grateful enough to ignore what they are trying to do to you. Kai also seems mentally unwell. He was probably violated and didn't know how to react. The second time he snapped
yea and if you snapped would be proud like him? the way he told the interview lmfao
I've been GHB'd at a bar before...
Have zero recollection of the entire night. Went back and traced my steps by credit card receipts...
Cameras showed me shopping, talking, even ordering take-out then leaving for 20 minutes and being lucid enough to remember to return to pick up my food.
Zero memory of the night at all. Zero.
Ghb isn't used as a daterape drug lol, it's just a boogeyman
There is no way I believe Joe was an innocent old man. Innocent old men don't hang out in bus stations talking with young, homeless men and invite them back to their homes to "hang out" and eat homemade burgers. Of course, we will never know what really happened between the man and Kai, but I agree that Kai did not receive a fair trial.
To be fair, offering a homeless guy shelter and food doesn't sound nearly as inherently evil as you make it sound.
@@youcantbeatk7006 The thing is, offering a homeless person food and shelter in your own home always comes with great risk. So what was the reward for Joe? I don't believe he was just such a good Christian. Chaotic Good characters like Kai won't just kill somebody for fun.
@@youcantbeatk7006 neither does offering random kids candy and toys. But acts of kindness can mask ill intentions.
Even if that would be true, slimy and perverted behaviour as it may be, with consenting and very likely no rape going on, it doesn't even compare to being killed. Feels like a transaction gone wrong - the victim must of expected sexual favours while the killer would of been grossed at the mere proposition and some conflict easily occuring, with the easily rage-snapping much stronger hiker dude overpowering the old man. Maybe he didn't deserved life, but for sure 1-2 decades in prison are absolutely deserved.
Saaaame. The old man hanging out at that bus station is sketchy af. Especially since I'm pretty sure bus stations are a pretty common place (throughout most towns/cities in the US at least) to start when you're looking for illegal goods and services. In Baton Rouge last year there was a business man here for work. He disappeared then his body was found dumped in a bad part of town days later. His family/friends/coworkers swore up and down there's no way he was doing drugs or anything of the sort. Yea, turns out he'd been asking around to see if anyone knew where to buy certain types of drugs all evening, the night he disappeared. They have footage of him at the bus station downtown with some people known to be involved in that sort of thing. Long story short, they found out he over dosed while with a drug dealer and two hookers. They panicked and put him in the trunk of a car for a few days. Dumped the body in an empty lot when it started to stink.
I believe that man knew by helping Kai, he could take advantage of him easily. Also, the "victim", was a lawyer in that town and that's why they railroaded Kai. It was personal for the prosecution, judge and jury. Kai didn't deserve that much time. That old man was a creeper on unsuspecting guys he gave his so called "help".
I agree 💯 Kai deserved time but not this MUCH
Agreed
Caleb was a good friend of mine, and I am so saddened that his life went this way.
A couple pieces of info I think you missed: he is a Canadian and he grew up in and out of foster homes, where he suffered unspeakable abuse.
During his "home free" phase I believe he was suffering some kind of mental health crisis as he literally grabbed onto a moving freight train one night and left his life behind, and that was the last we saw of him... He had a very nice girlfriend, he was going to school to become a paramedic, and had a job as a personal trainer, and he had friends who would do anything for him.
He was a good friend and he had a (mostly) positive effect on me and my life. He didn't have much, but he would give you the shirt off his back and he was wise beyond his years.
I believe his version of events surrounding the murder, I don't think that justifies the killing... It is what it is. The guy he killed was obviously taking advantage of a mentally ill young man for his own sexual desires.
I wish things had been different, I miss my friend.
So sorry to hear that.
I had a good friend like Caleb too. There's always something haunting them from their childhood. My friend was a blond scandinavian "gypsy" who'd travel all around Europe, homefree, hilariously funny, incredibly intelligent, a super talented musician, but restless and impulsive too.
We lost him to a heroin overdose.
This story made me think of him.
Good travels, Kim. 💔
GOD BLESS YA'LL❤🙏❤️💕❤️
You can write too him
I’m so sorry for your loss, and for his. His story hit so hard. I wish someone could get the evidence that was never tested retested and get him a new trial. He deserves it. This old man was a predator.
Caleb aka Kai had a lot going for him. He's a very handsome tall fit athletic young man. No doubt he could have any woman or man he wanted just based on his looks and height alone. He also had internet fame which he could have leveraged to become rich. Sad that he'll end up spending the rest of his life in prison
Kai, you took out a sexual predator. They cannot take that away from your free spirit. You would not have killed randomly or for his money. You are a super hero. Alcohol is a truth serum of sorts. Violence to protect one's dignity and self worth may have been your only recourse. What world would believe a free spirit over a pillar of the community. I hope a few people recognize that.
As a former homeless person who was preyed upon by an older gay man, I sympathize with Kai a lot. He didn't have to kill people, though.
True, but we don't know the dynamic.

It depends on the prison but they are allowed to have iPads now.
Not really, in Brazil a convicted serial killer keeps an RUclips channel. There's room for anyone on RUclips.
Yes!!!
Gonna be real man, bro got a crap deal. if I woke up in the midst of an assault I'm sure as hell not going to take it lying down. Whether that makes me a powder keg of explosive rage I don't know, but they're not coming out of it unscathed. The lack of evidence gathering, and focus on the "victim" paints this whole story a lot more darkly than what the headlines would have you believe.
The idea that Kai wasn't immediately in danger fails to take into account two things: 'being in danger' in regards to a person's actions relies on their perception of their environment; and the sheer impact a rape victim's PTSD can have on that perception.
For all Kai knew, Galfy could wake up at any moment and try again.
I mean, it makes a difference if you go to normal prison or a psych ward. With that being said, just because i perceive something to be a threat and then kill someone who's sleeping doesn't mean i shouldn't be held accountable.
@@iandevine3063but is he rlly sleeping tho? That is I am not so sure about rlly
Honestly, no sex between a homeless person and someone offering shelter for it is truly "consensual". This is known as survival sex, it may not be full blown violent assault but it is still taking advantage of someone just as much as say exploiting an addict is. While Kai could have technically walked away without a real threat from Joe, it may have been an unwalkable area, his gear could have been inaccessible, or he may have felt so repeatedly talked advantage of by this point that he legitimately had a mental breakdown. He also may have been experiencing flashbacks to the situation of being trapped in the car that made him viral that also had witnesses present to corroborate. This may not be a full excuse, but it should be taken into account during sentencing.
I've been homeless. A lot of people look at you as subhuman. I learned fast to not give any man who pulled over and asked if he could help the time of day because they are always sex pests. Please keep in mind that if you've ever had a rough patch where you had to move back in with your parents, you were one step away from us. Deceased family or family who is thoroughly toxic can land you there, though granted sometimes the homeless person is the toxic family themselves.
Not everyone is like you. Stop comparing everything to your personal experiences.
@@Dime_time333because everyone doesn’t have this experience, nobody does? Stoppit. 😩 I guarantee there are many people who absolutely relate to this comment.
@@voodoochile4147 ty
@@Dime_time333 do you think I was homeless in a void 😂 most of the time I was sleeping in a shelter with two dozen people packed barracks style in a space the size of probably your living room. Every one of them would agree with me. There were people from all over the country too, because some drift shelter to shelter when they hit an obligatory time limit that's usually too soon to get long term help. And homelessness is rising at a terrifying rate, charity systems are beyond their limits.
This is not just my experience, but most people don't want to hear it BECAUSE they don't want to think about how that aren't far removed from it. How a they and like half the rest of the population in the US are a couple missed paychecks away from being there. That's why you pass us on the street and deliberately don't look, at the core of it. That and how impossible it seems to fix it from an individual level.

IF WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUE ,HE SHOULD BE FREE. I WOULD REACT THE SAME WAY.
Mental health affects us all. Kai demonstrated in the heroic interview that he is truly himself. He is capable of the extremes from free spirit with gratitude to excessive rage. The chemical imbalance in his brain then exacerbated by weed and alcohol consumption. The jury doesn't care about mental health they only care about the brutality.
There are so many personal accounts of free spirit young men being taken advantage of by high status older men throughout time. Kai took the law into his own hands.
I avoid those who are intoxicated by more than one substance. Weed is usually all I can tolerate being around. Alcohol and everything else and in combination always leads to horrible events!
Be safe everyone and always consider mental health before judgement and bias.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I believe his story. I think it’s possible for someone to attack someone in a fit of rage as revenge of them taking advantage of you. It’s not unheard of for creepy old men (or serial killers) to prey on younger hitchhikers or illegal immigrants because they are easy targets. They have no home, they don’t know anyone close to them in the area, no one will miss them or know they’re missing. 🤷🏻♀️
I believe him too.
So why do illegal immigrants take advantage and kill people.
Deffo agree

This exact situation happened to a close friend of mine.
I remember watching a documentary about him and it seems like he was sexually abused as well as exploited after his fame. Definitely seems like there might be some developmental issues or mental illness there. I got the impression he just go thrust into a life he struggled in rather than being an actually malicious person. Sad case all around.
I agree. I don’t think he’s a cold hearted killer. But something halted some type of development. Who knows how such a young man ended up on the streets? What was he escaping from initially from his past? He does have some anger boiling underneath the surface. Why did he resort to drugs as escapism? And it’s I think it’s possible for someone to attack someone in a fit of rage as revenge of them taking advantage of you.

It's heartbreaking to hear about the struggles and potential traumas someone may have endured, especially when it leads to a difficult and troubled life.
He was clearly a psychopath as is evident in the 'viral' video he came to fame in.
@@WoWGirl6Have you never seen what it's like for people in LA who aren't famous? This story is common.
Stop guessing and pretending like the answer is esoteric and occult and do some basic research: Kai said where he was from MULTIPLE times.
Five minutes of research will teach you about the systemic inequalities inherent in most structural systems.
It's not complicated rocket surgery my dude.
I absolutely believe Kai's story.
weird to think that we will never really know what happened..
He did kill the man, clearly, but it also seems like there were circumstances that were deliberately not investigated which would have led to a lesser charge or sentence. We'll never know but it is interesting how the evidence that might have corroborated any of Kai's account wasn't tested.
Exactly. He certainly has a screw loose, but he’s correct when he says he was given an unfair trial.
Well, we actually can know.
We can trust that the victim here is telling the truth and seek restorative Justice.
But that takes actual, genuine work and empathy:
Something this comment section and community has proven themselves incapable of.
Honestly I think the attorney may well have been a predator exploiting a vulnerable young person with nowhere to go. And although Kai reacted disproportionately with the danger he was in, I think many of us might if we woke up disoriented, drugged in the midst of a sexual assault.
Also one interesting point is Kai mentioned waking up with a metallic taste in his mouth, this is a signature side effect of the “Z” group of hypnotic sedatives; zopiclone, zolpidem, zaleplon etc which to me lends credence to the claim he was drugged
Hey Adrian. For future reference in VPN ads, never say something is your complete protection ... I forgot the phrasing you used. This is a super small nitpick but if we assume you can just have a threat protection system you can do anything you like people toss out common sense. No, VPN won't prevent you from giving out your identity in chats or whatnot.
The uncompetent and slovenly investigation, with crucial forensic evidence never tested or properly examined, made this trial unjust and the verdict questionable. While Ky was clearly in a rage when he killed the lawyer, the possibility remains that he may have been heavily provoked by a sexual assault. The conviction should thrown out and a retrial held.
Sounds like both sides wronged each other and one paid with their life, while the other received the unseen wrath of having friends in high places.
Well noted
Really?? Maybe he shouldn't have raped anyone then huh? Zero sympathy. 🐖
I believe Kai. He chose to use the blunt end first and only resorted to using the blade of the hatchet when it was clear that the blunt end wasn't enough. Also all his acting out while under the influence seems to be relatively harmless for the most part. No violent acts; just public urination.
As for the investigation, it was terribly done as if they were trying to make Kai appear guilty of murder and not self-defense. Also the trial was clearly not unbiased. The trial should've never been held in that area as there are clear conflicts of interest since the victim was close with the legal community of that area. I hope one day soon that he gets true justice and gets freed as he's an innocent man.
I mean, he caved in a 73 year old man's skull. That's definitely not self defense

Yes attorneys are always sweet and law abiding saints
Did anyone else notice the courtroom scene when they said you only need to raise your right hand and he raised his left.
Maybe unpopular opinion…. But why would Kai be lying about being SA’d? What did he have to gain from that attack? Robbery? When people are willing to give him hand outs cause they’ve seen him on tv? When he already left the guys home (he could have just done that the night he stayed there)?
Why was s3men found? If Kai was tricking, he wouldn’t have needed to attack Galfry- you don’t get a return customer that way and why lose more money in the future for quick money instantly when he could go back and make more money whenever he wanted, have a place to stay, and get free food (I met some people in the game in my lifetime- if they’re that nice, you keep them around)?
Nothing about the case makes sense… Especially since Kai had a lot going for him and he was living the lifestyle he wanted (one that didn’t require things that needed to be stolen or having people unalived for).
Why did he go back then? He was fed and provided with a bus ticket and could have continued his free spirit lifestyle. Why did he go back instead?
@@EditLivy Maybe since the friend he went to meet didn’t show up? Maybe he lost the ticket the guy got him? Maybe to ask for more money before he left? Who knows-? I’m just speculating. That is the question that would help us know for sure. But we don’t know what he said word for word unfortunately, just the gist of it. He might have had a better statement than the second hand account here.
Either way- someone did something with their 🍆 in that house and there was only two people in this altercation, so I’m like…… thinkin something’s a lil…. Off. Dunno what- but something. (No shade if it was simply cause they rolled that way- I do too, that’s not where I’m coming from lol) 🤷🏻♀️
Pretty obvious to me that the lawyer was a freak. Most lawyers are complete scum. The boy got railroaded. I wouldn't say he is completely innocent, but there are plenty of people that get manslaughter for similar crimes and are out in a few years.
"But why would Kai be lying about being SA’d? "
Are you slow? Or are you suffering from the new deranged notion that accusations of SA are always truthful. He *murdered* someone. That's why he'd lie. He murdered the guy because he's a psychopath and something triggered him.
If he'd been assaulted and NEEDED to kill the man in self defense (highly unlikely) why wouldn't he immediately make a police report, rather than fleeing the scene and trying to flee the area.
@@EditLivy - many rape victims go back when they’re desperate. Doesn’t mean they weren’t raped.
Kia sounds like a victim of sexual abuse & he may have snapped when the lawyer tried to take advantage of him. But who knows🤷♀️. At the end of it all, someone lost their life & someone has to pay the price.
the semen was never tested, or it get tested but they don't publicized whom it belongs to
So glad to see reasonable and logical comments in the comment section. I think this case needs reinvestigation tbh.
Galfy was, by no means, an innocent man. There are multiple red flags in his actions. I think Kai is another failure of the system. He definitely needed guidance with his mental issues. But, unfortunately, he decided to kill...
As someone who has helped as well spent a lot of time around the homeless where i live, these people are often targeted by drug dealers and pervs. It is sad because so many are mentally ill abd do self medicate.
They also sell themselves for cashola to buy drugs.
Honestly... I believe Kai.
Of course you do, because it wasn't an older woman who took him in, had intimacy with, and he then murdered and fled the scene without reporting anything.
@@EmeraldView how could you possibly know that from a four word comment? Get a grip bro

My gut says if Kai had been a woman he would have been believed. I think he was sexually exploited while he was asleep/drugged. I hope the Innocence Project takes up his case.

That’s my instinct, too.
Would he though? There’s not exactly a great track record for women being believed
@@twodots9403 What are you talking about? Mark Pearson, Johnny Depp, Saifullah Kahn, Brian Banks, Trevor Bauer,.....I can continue for 1000s upon 1000s of men that fell victim to "believe all women" of the metoo hysteria and before, Get a grip and do better.
@@twodots9403right! There’s a video of an older church man who prayed upon younger women and a young woman killed him for violating her and the whole comment section blamed her for being a gold digger. If this was a woman she would’ve been blamed for putting herself in that position. Look under videos where it’s the other way around she’ll 100 percent be blamed.

"Now, when I say, "Meltdown," I mean he entirely lost his shit."
Well-said. I have dealt with a number of people in drug-induced psychosis, and you couldn't have worded it better.
I have NO CLUE as to why people have a problem with a free spirit, like Kai. Just sickens me the way people have the NERVE to sit in judgement of him.
Maybe it’s the murdering people have a problem with.
There are people who have committed way worse crimes
But gotten way less in terms of punishment
That embrace between Kai and the old man, at the subway, looked a bit suspect to me 🧐
Like a passionate, warm embrace.
It’s possible Kai is a victim of a predator, but it’s also possible he is the predator and a compulsive liar, and that even the account about being in the car with Jet is completely made up, maybe it was Kai who steered the car into the truck, who knows really? There are some accounts of ppl who knew him before all this took place who said he was a violent person and terrible to be around, his public image could all just be an act, and looking into his eyes you can kinda see that. He is not this kind hearted free soul some people make him out to be, I think some ppl just mesmerised by his charm.
I agree, all accounts of both incidents are only from Kai. And keep in mind if Jett had a psychotic episode he would not remember the car crash or the lead up to it . We don’t even know if he really met Joseph in Time Square,
How on Earth is an inmate able to run a RUclips channel and update frequently? That’s just wild.
They often have phones
Now a days long term inmates have tablets most of the apps are blocked but u can access RUclips easily and it depends on where u are located n all prisons give tablets
@@snookiearriaga1474WOW, Only in America! Ppl are so spoiled yet cry oppression & racism. I never understood if they feel that way why so many keep coming in & NO one will leave(like they promise)!🤣😂
@@laleona776 i left, because the US sucks ass and the EU is way better
@@laleona776Many american prisons literally dont even have AC, and inmates die of heatshock in the summer. Pregnant inmates have died in the past because they were not allowed basic medical equipment and hygiene products for hours after going into labor in their cells.
Most american prisons are like this, a small amount of them are more humane and have things like ac and technology.
Read a book before speaking about thingsyou dont know
The details of the trial are questionable, and there's no doubt that law enforcement and the judiciary system in the USA do look out for their own. While we'll never know the whole story, I think Kai genuinely believes his own story but he is also vulnerable and somewhat disturbed. He should have been given psychiatric help not put into prison.
I know a lot of people will give me hate comments. But I don't think that Galfy was an innocent old man. I think he wanted Kai to come back to his place to possibly sexually assault him and it lead to violent confrontation.
Most people commenting have the same take as you. I do as well. He was a creep, like most lawyers are. His buddies covered for him. Lots of them are probably up to the same, disgusting ish.

Man I'm old, as soon as saw the thumbnail I remember when it first went viral 2013 was a wild yr for memes
I remembered him immediately, too! 2000s were wild 😂
It was only 11 years ago. You aren't old yet. Just near middle age
so WWOOOOOOAHHH!! Are you like....21??
@@mhrgall thanks add a decade and a few years
@@ConfusedKittyI also watched it 11 years ago dam time goes fast I'm 25 now
"Was like riding the biggest wave of my life" should've been the biggest clue
The documentary uncovers Kai laced the joint he shared with the man that picked him up with PCP. That seriously changes his “heroic” action
Surrre does,,,-& would explain the drivers actions,and weird words,,you dont get that wacked out,on regular weed, but pcp!??,,-yeah.
Thank you.
you don't just LACE joints with PCP. He would need a bottle of it, dip it and then it REEKS and is wet.
At the end of the documentary they literally say that the joint found at the scene had nothing other than marijuana in it and the driver's toxicology report only showed weed in his system. So that theory has been debunked.
This Joe guy was 100% a predator. Being a white lawyer and 73 doesn’t make him anything but more untouchable by the law. Duuuuuh!! He went after Kai for a reason. And it wasn’t to “give him shelter”. What a bunch of B.S. I saw Kai’s documentary on Netflix. If anything, he was honest. Always. About everything. And wanted to keep people from being hurt. I firmly believe he would not have killed Joe for no reason. Something happened in that house. Unfortunately for Kai, he killed a man. Even if it was self defense. The trial should have reflected that. And it didn’t. He should get a new trial.
So you hate him because he’s white? So are all white older men predators? as a white girl who was sexually assaulted by black man I would not sit there and say all black men are predators.
A very strange case to say the least. Innocent people get convicted all the time and this case isn't any different. I'm on the fence on weather Kai was raped or weather the actions were consensual. 57 years seems a little steep on hear say evidence.
Murder is a horrible end to anything . BUT they sh*t all over this kid and the prominent lawyer comes out as a >COMPLETELY< squeaky clean victim? Hes a victim , yes , theres more going on that they didn't acknowledge about the victim though . Just me though...
"MURDER IS LE BAD!"
How do you know the lawyer wasn't? Just because he enjoyed the company of younger men and this particular younger man was willing to BE that company (he's not slow), doesn't make the older person a BAD person. Adolescents are clever and sharp enough to know what they are doing and THIS guy was a full fledged adult, consenting to a relationship.
He probably killed him while drugged by the old man. He woke up twice with issues surrounding what those old rapists know how to and what to get away with, as an attorney. Foster parents beat the child; nurses kill patients; etc. please don’t make this old man out to be a saint. Taking advantage got him dealt with. 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I remember this vividly as I live very close to Fresno. It didn’t surprise me at all that he murmured someone I always wondered how many people he may have murdered on the road.
I always wonder why they always say “Found dead in a pool of his own blood”; like, whose blood are most people found dead in pools of?
Agreed. That, and "there's blood everywhere." Just once I want someone to say that there's blood in some places but not others.
I feel for Kai. I'm struggling to see the crime past the person. Dude's a drifter, and he's locked down for life. That's crushing.
I do feel for the victim, but without having a clue what happened, it feels like Kai is a victim too.
First of all, even though I am a Gen X and we used to hitchhike here and there, there's no way in hell that I would ever hitchhike nowadays. And there's no way in hell I'd ever pick up a hitchhiker. And I'm definitely not going to walk up some homeless guy or girl and offer them a place to stay for the night. That's absolutely insane. 🤦🏼♀️
That furniture though!
I'm pretty familiar with this case, and it is definitely not very cut and dry. Kai 100% did not receive a fair trial. Not saying that he is completely blameless for what happened, but I would lose my shit too if I came to and realized that I had been drugged and raped.
💯 Dude is not blameless but it’s much more nuanced than face value. Also, it’s funny how they make a distinction between self defense and killing in a fit of rage. That would piss off any dude. Not women perse, but men, definitely. I think women would have had a more cunning approach. There’s one story he covered of a woman who poisoned her stepdad because he had nude photos of her since she was 14 on his laptop.
@@WoWGirl6 Yeah, that one was crazy. Adrian/Coffeehouse Crime really is the best true crime channel out there.
@@Loki087 yeah he’s got good stories, and never half asses going into detail about the people or the cases. 👍 Haha if you wanna check out some real morbid cases, try shrouded hand, if you haven’t already heard of him 😏
Without the victim's side we can't project what we don't know. People seem to have romanticized notions of a nomadic life. I don't think for a second that Kai was all weed and sunshine; he's gotta lie to survive when called for. We only know what we are shown.
@@cdes1776 We have a brain and can think for ourselves, don't we?
“Please work on those full arm extensions.” Adrian roasting a guy behind bars is the content I am here for.
I’m sure my personal trainer would have a few things to say about his technique
😂@@CoffeehouseCrime
@@CoffeehouseCrime I'm certain Kai would have a few choice things to say to your trainer!😂I also get the impression technique isn't a priority in prison.
I love how he always slips us a few jokes. Helps break up the heavy stuff❤️
@@Dime_time333 you’d better not be talking about my guy, Adrian.
Dr Grande has a great analysis to accompany this video
Dude he was framed he’s not a murderer
Smash smash SUHMASSSHHHH that like button for my guy!
hahaha, I love this!
I thought the Hulk does the "smash".
Omg Kai … lol. His story is pretty wild. He was pretty famous for a bit there. Weren’t reporters following him around and buying him everything he wanted? I always wondered if he was actually sexually assaulted in the past and maybe that’s why he flipped out and did what he did.
Guys with the name Kai are usually pretty breedable. I knew one that would suck dick for loom bands.
“One cooked cookie”. Appreciate the humor from such dark stories. You’re the best, Adrian 🙏
The "jetter" of him🤣🤣...
He claimed self defense and I'm not aware it's been proven it wasn't..
Do you think it was self defense?
@@londonshafDefinite possibility!!
Was it proven that it was?
Self defense but he was shown on CCTV a day later hugging the old guy. LOL.
It's up to the defence to prove it. It's not up to the prosecution to prove anything regarding self defence, they're there to prove the murder took place which it did.
being this early feels illegal
Legally illegal!
Truly 😂
Same except until I see 72 comments already 😅
-xD !-
Come back later 😅
Old fella givin pedo vibes 💀
Omg his documentary lives in my head rent free
Each man was likely looking for something from the other. I cannot see Kai fearing for his life enough to do that kind of damage. He did leave and come back to the residence. Kai did kill Mr. Galfy. Lack of processing physical evidence and Kai's mental illness puts the sentence into question for me.
An American watching from the Philippines. I appreciate your videos. The research you do and presentation is next level. Thank you for what you do.
Mabuhay! 🇵🇭☀️
Hope you’re not being creepy with kids. You might find yourself in one of the videos one day.
Thanks for his story.
It is possible he consented while both were high, and when he sobered up, he felt violated.
It is sad that he had something off, and no one was willing to help him with it. So that he could become a better person and not put himself in dangerous situations.
The documentary on this case was so good. So glad to see you cover this too!!! Genuinely shocking how this played out
I find it incredibly strange and suspect that Kai was not allowed to represent himself. I know it's not usually advised, but I thought it was your right to do so if you really wanted to. I'm not saying Kai is innocent, but I don't find his story unbelievable, and I don't think he got a fair trial.
I remember this guy, there was a remix song someone made out of this interview which was kinda nice lol
also just saw a new story this morning, about a woman who went on vacation leaving her baby behind for 10 days??? I NEED MORE INFO no ones covered it yet!!
-wow ... !-
The crime atlas uploaded a video about that case yesterday!
I think that has happened more that once, wasn’t the mom who went on vacation to Puerto Rico or something like that?
She finally got sentenced last week, got a life sentence if I'm right. Don't bring your kids to Cleveland! I would know (i'm a native)
Yes, Kristal Candelario. There are a few good stories out on this one by true crime daily and others, but I would def watch Adrian’s analysis on the case. She went on a vacation to Puerto Rico. Took pictures and everything and left the baby in a playpen for 10 days
“One cooked cookie” has me ROLLING!
Baked 😅
Well, at least Kai is not homeless anymore.
😂 that's terrible.
@@KonekoPurrrfectionif he was in Norway he’d be having the time of his life in prison.
Alison that's a great point. Kai now has shelter, 3 hot meals a day, a bed, clothes, running water, electricity, free healthcare etc. Being locked up in prison for the rest of his life is a huge blessing for him! Heck millions of Americans don't have health insurance and barely can afford food!
This episode disturbed me- he was sa'd by this guy and reacted just like anyone else would have
For the judge to have described this as "calculated" belies how biased the court was in this case. That was truly a railroading if there ever was one. No investigation or motive or anything. Despicable on behalf of the prosecution
Gah I kinda believe Kai. If that really happened to him, wouldn’t anyone wake up in a self defense rage??
And being a hitch hiker, he would most likely run into more problems than not I would think, so that fact that the two incidents took place close together .. maybe not so unlikely(?)
Not excusing murder..
Just want to say that I have recently bing watched your entire channel after finding it. Great job and thanks for all you do!!!
Did you know he mentioned you and gave you a shout out in his recent video 😅
Solid coverage as always thanks again! ☺️☕️
