I laughed my ass off when there was a guy who robbed a bank at the height of the lockdown. The time when you weren't just allowed to cover your face in the bank, it was required. He kept his covid mask down under his chin through the robbery. The only person in the bank not covering 2/3 of their face was the one robbing it.
We had a guy rob the bank using his own van. We got his license plate and when the cops got to his place he was trying to wash the dye from the dye pack off the money. Small time money laundering just doesn't pay.
Lesson #4: If for some reason you feel the need to rob someone, do take the time to conceal your identity somehow. If you do not, not only will you get caught, you will be mocked on the Internet as being an idiot.
I am with you. Her arrogance is astounding. My tolerance for people like this is nil. I would suggest a one way ticket to a miserable place so she can contend with what many have to.
If you ever have one day where you don’t post a video, we will all be convinced something terrible happened and send out a search party for you, Dr. Grande. Keep the videos coming. Each one and all your hard work is very much appreciated 🥰
She's not going to help other inmates in prison, all she's done in her life so far is help herself. She just said that, hoping the judge, and others, would be impressed by it.
To be fair, her options in prison are pretty limited, and she’s likely educated enough to know the socially acceptable answer. The honest answer-reading, watching television, trying to entice guards and fellow inmates into romantic encounters and money-making schemes-isn’t going to help her.
In addition to his riveting content and astute analyses, Dr. G has such an ASMR quality to his voice. All his talk about sociopaths and psychopaths and other nut bags is oddly soothing to me. LOL!
I have to agree. I play his vids or podcasts to fall asleep. Have had the occasional odd dream as a result, but they definitely aid my transition to sleep, oddly enough.
@@bthomson .. >Bull shit. .. I'm with Ms. Christine Prerez. . The 4 defendants circumstance sucks big time. . Finding peace within will be a tough haul . . .
I have met people 'like' Abigail over the years. Often they are intelligent, good-looking, and have a vicious mean streak. Co-workers will try to remain outside of their orbit but should circumstance bring them into their crosshairs......well, it usually turns ugly. The effects of aging may diminish Abigail's ruthless nature, but otherwise, she will not alter her behavior.
Bad idea on retail store jewelry. It’s marked up about 300% right out of the gate now add it being stolen to the equation and that’s a very high risk for a comparatively low reward.
Well, since Dr. Grande mentions 7 armed robberies, that comes out to a little over 17 months for each one -- basically less than a year and a half for each. So, you're right.
No, 10 years is WAY too little. This White, female privilege is out of control ! In Florida, in state court, they probably would have enhanced her charges with the RICO act (racketeering). She would face a natural LIFE sentence. With a great, politically connected lawyer, cooperation with the State, a sympathetic Judge, and a ton of money and sex bribes; she MIGHT have been able to plea bargain a 20 to 25 year sentence.
Dr. Grande's actually quite witty & amusing! I love how he inserts his comical stings into what's usually a pretty significant case analysis ! "Who knew that mental illness could actually be fun?" 😂
When there is so much misinformation and rampant stupidity in the world. My younger brother had some friends like this. Thank God, he grew out of that phase. Thank you Dr. Grande, for bringing these stories to light.
I love the comparison from 'Mission Impossible' to "Fargo'!! It is incredible that she did not try to disguise herself. It is also bizarre that she did most of the crime, yet she got the least sentence!!! Thank you for doing this case - never heard of it, but then, I am in the UK.
So many people think I can commit an armed robbery as long as no one gets physically hurt it’s no big deal, but it can be extremely traumatic for the victims they may never be the same
Thanks for my daily reality check. Your well researched and thoughtful analyses ground me when the media (social or otherwise) tries to dictate how I should think. 🌵
@@mythoughtsandme5413 Yeah but they were just accomplices, and got 30 years consecutive, that's heavy for not actually robbing the stores with a firearm.
My question is who got the money? She got $30k out of $4.3 million worth of jewelry. The others trained and used her to take all the risk while paying her little. No wonder she took a deal to testify against the rest.
Very informative, Dr. Grande. It shoud be mandatory counselling in schools. It has been my attitude always. There are many things we can analyze here. Adolescents especially. Thank you, Dr. Grande.
Dr.Grande, you may want to have a look at two court judges from Napier New Zealand. One leaving a trail of miscarriages of justice and one who is being hounded out of the family court. The government will not take responsibility for either.
Thank you Dr. Grande, for another straightforward and thorough analysis of an interesting case. I love that you remain non-judgemental and dont allow your own feelings & opinions about criminality to factor into your final thoughts. You Always Inspire Me!
I'm not understanding why she was able to testify against them when she was the one robbing 🙄? She could be lying... This girl was already a trouble maker!!!! It's not right!!!!! This isn't Justice, I hope she get hers 100%!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing. How is the actual stick up person able to testify against the get away driver and accomplices? However, 10 years is no joke. I think it was fair for someone her age. Lots of ppl get in trouble for underage drinking it’s quite a jump to armed robbery.
Easy; She's a white, rich girl, the men are black, coming from a "lower class" area, and the American "justice" system is racist now, was racist then, and has and will always be racist.
The 'lookouts' should have been given the deal to testify against the robber. That's usually how it goes. She lied and they believed her. She should have gotten MORE time than the others.
@@theavocado6061 I agree, I personally would faint if I was given a year, 30 days even.... So I get 10 yrs is a long time.... However, she wasn't sum kid who made a couple wrong choice's 🙄.... She was robbing for close to a million $$$ a pop.... This girl should have been given the Book in my opinion..... It's totally EFFED UP on every level
That isn't usually done unless the prosecution needs the criminal's testimony in court, and/or inside information to provide additional evidence. It saves us taxpayers money, as investigation and prosecution are very expensive. It also makes the community safer, as conviction is much more certain.
She was the only one who actually committed the robbery. If anybody should have gotten a deal, it should have been one of the 'lookouts'. That's how it usually goes, when everyone involved are men. Why did they believe her story, in the first place? Justice was not blind, in this case.
They were probably both offered deals and turned them down due to the “no snitching” culture that BM are always leaning into with their full chest. 🙄 She wasn’t as stupid as her accomplices were.
Wow, what an incredible analysis! I love how your content is full of wisdom, and comedy! ♡ "....their thumb was covering the first item, which read: wear a mask." 😂
Maybe the "dare devil gene"? Children can and do just turn out " wrong!" And depending on what happens to them (good councilors, decent peer groups, staring sports situations', lack of available drugs) they either turn out ok or not!😇👹
Her parents are good people. I went to high school and church with her. She was just always rebellious, ever since I can remember… never was hesitant when it came to getting in trouble or breaking the rules.
Well, her accomplices had a much longer and more serious criminal history. And anti-snitching culture is very strong among Black males. That’s a big reason BM do the most jail/prison time when convicted and why they are disproportionately incarcerated re: other racial/ethnic groups. Cutting deals is how you look out for yourself in criminal courts and snitching is how you get less time. She played the “me, first” game in court and she won. Hate the game, not the player!
Exactly ans in the time line she did that before robbing places. She wanted that lifestyle that is why she hung out with a sketchy crowd. They did not talk her into it. She went willing .
It rubs me wrong when people snitch on their co-defendant although they were right there PARTICIPATING in the crime, if not leading it. Subsequently playing the victim/manipulation card when they were of an adult age.
What's the motivation? ..... I'm nearly 100% sure she, like all of us, wanted to dive face first into a corn silo full of gold coins. We all have the Mcduck dreams
Mcduck dreams??😂😂😂 Too funny and No I have not had those...however, this little Grey dude with hhhuge eyes appeared in a dream the other night - we had a quite heated argument about civilization and what makes a human being truly Happy....I kicked him out of my dream - and now we don't talk!!😂😂😉
@Dorte Sandal you know Scrooge Mcduck? He had that gold coin pool he'd dive into at the beginning of DuckTales. And I think that dude from your dream was in mine last night on the corner selling overpriced hotdogs to a couple of scantily clad Dobermans
She is just as guilty as the others. No plea deal! Shame. Justice was not served. Thanks for sharing this. The same remorse she showed when caught before? Sorry, this time I must disagree with your analysis.
Don’t apologize. I’m appalled with his analysis on this one. She was the sole robber in most of the crimes, directing impacting the security and feelings of safety of the victims. At no time did she ever say she was forced to do anything. Grande, like the judge abs jury, viewed her as a little white girl corrupted by three black men. Meanwhile, she walked into the store alone, with a gun and walked out alone with the loot. How absurd it is to say her 10 years vs her co-conspirators 32!!! years is fair and reasonable. How offensive! I usually agree with Grande but this analysis is wholly disappointing to me. It even offends and angers me
That one inconsistency of not concealing her identity adds legitimacy to her story because naturally their motives are purely self determined as to frame someone else who would be in plain sight thus deflecting attention.
I went to high school with her, played basketball with her and she went to my church. She goes by Abby. She was popular at my high school, a big party girl and was never afraid to break the rules. But I will say, she never bullied me like the other girls did. She always treated me like an equal which was nice. I hate that she has to be remembered like this… her parents are super nice and she was pretty nice also. It just seems like she got caught up with a bad crowd.
Awesome video, my favorite way to get to my job at a psychiatric hospital is listening to Dr Grande calmly describing the personality traits I will almost inevitably encounter that day 😂 Dr Grande, could you do a video on Khalil Wheeler-Weaver? He was recently sentenced to 160 years for murdering 3 women and attempting to murder a 4th (among many other serious crimes). He used dating sites to meet and trick each of his victims. He was caught because the friends of one of the victims accessed her social media accounts, set up a fake account and lured him in.
Dear Dr. Grande: To this story I want to share with you my own small story. My son was helping me put together my résumé and there was one line that I didn’t like that he wrote. I said “you know that’s a little too grandiose.” I thought of you and smiled. Thanks for keeping me in a reality check.
Thanks for pointing out valuable lessons that could help people before they do stupid stuff and end up in prison, Dr. G. Unfortunately I’m not confident the ones who need those lessons are watching this channel. 😟
In regard to Abigail not wearing a mask, most jewelry stores buzz people in. They want to keep track of how many people enter and how they present themselves. If Abigail showed up at the door in a mask, she wouldn't get buzzed in and the police would surely be called by the store's employees.
SHE was the one who conducted the rest of the robberies. SHE was the one who carried the gun and put her victims lives in danger. But THEY got the heavier sentence! How is that fair?
food for thought. after spending three days in a local jail. i felt like i wanted to help people, because after no longer wanting to offend, i felt good about making positive changes and i felt like my positivity would rub off on other people. i felt that not only would that help the individual, but that it would help others around that person as well.
my mother got arrested two states away from home as a young teen. her two male friends had robbed a bank and she had been the driver. once arrested she cried and claimed she had no idea what the men had planned and was only at the wheel of the car out of stupidity. she received minimal charges and no ultimately no jail time. after my grandparents drove 6 hours and picked her up, she broke down in hysterical laughter explaining she'd known exactly what was going on the whole time. I'm surprised they didn't turn around and bring her back. she went on to live her life as a boring suburban housewife.
Oh, she learned from her earlier crimes, all right - when nabbed, they really threw the book at her - "community service" or dropped charges. The legal system taught her that she was, indeed, protected from any consequences. When one is taught that crime DOES pay, it'd be silly to expect the behavior to stop. And she's still being taught that - she gets ten years for armed robbery, they get three times that for, basically, handling stolen merchandise.
I agree. She has positive reinforcement of the worst kind. I suspect that some of the early judicial leniency was based upon her upbringing in a stable loving home.
Why would you turn your friend in when she is just stealing ??? She ain't hurting no one. All that jewelry was insured. That's fucked up. Be a better friend people .
10 years what a joke. 15 years is what she should have got. She committed armed robbery on multiple occasions and had priors, not to mention she stole over 4 million dollars worth of jewelry.

Don’t apologize. I’m appalled with his analysis on this one. She was the sole robber in most of the crimes, directing impacting the security and feelings of safety of the victims. At no time did she ever say she was forced to do anything. Grande, like the judge abs jury, viewed her as a little white girl corrupted by three black men. Meanwhile, she walked into the store alone, with a gun and walked out alone with the loot. How absurd it is to say her 10 years vs her co-conspirators 32!!! years is fair and reasonable. How offensive! I usually agree with Grande but this analysis is wholly disappointing to me. It even offends and angers me

He was being sarcastic about the sentences being fair.
That one inconsistency of not concealing her identity adds legitimacy to her story because naturally their motives are purely self determined as to frame someone else who would be in plain sight thus deflecting attention.
Congrats on your sponsorship, Dr Grande!
I went to high school with her, played basketball with her and she went to my church. She goes by Abby. She was popular at my high school, a big party girl and was never afraid to break the rules. But I will say, she never bullied me like the other girls did. She always treated me like an equal which was nice. I hate that she has to be remembered like this… her parents are super nice and she was pretty nice also. It just seems like she got caught up with a bad crowd.
Awhh the poor poor baby 😢 I hope this all isn’t too hard on the sweet little babe. How unfair for her. 😂
The thing is SHE is the wrong crowd.
Her parents must be so disappointed and mortified.
I guess there are other tools in that shed that may be sharper than this bag of river rocks.
Another wacky person causing havoc. Always plenty of stories to cover!! 🙄Great points at end!! Thanks Dr G😊💚💚
Awesome video, my favorite way to get to my job at a psychiatric hospital is listening to Dr Grande calmly describing the personality traits I will almost inevitably encounter that day 😂
Dr Grande, could you do a video on Khalil Wheeler-Weaver? He was recently sentenced to 160 years for murdering 3 women and attempting to murder a 4th (among many other serious crimes). He used dating sites to meet and trick each of his victims.
He was caught because the friends of one of the victims accessed her social media accounts, set up a fake account and lured him in.
Thank you, as always, Dr. Grande. Looking forward to this video.
Thank you, Dr. Grande. Your videos always come at the perfect time. 💜
Like clockwork!🕰
@@bthomson Exactly ☺️😄
Speculative diagnosis in a situation like this: Three Miles of Bad Road (Not Otherwise Specified).
I'm lost again?
So because she’s an attractive female she was assisted and given a way less sentence
Attractive?!?! No 😂 Just a white woman getting a lenient sentence because white women.
Well if she was on drugs then that would heighten her sense of getting away with it.
Dear Dr. Grande: To this story I want to share with you my own small story. My son was helping me put together my résumé and there was one line that I didn’t like that he wrote. I said “you know that’s a little too grandiose.” I thought of you and smiled. Thanks for keeping me in a reality check.
Quite the prolific little robber!
Somehow I don’t think that she will be getting any time off for good behaviour. Seems like she will be someone who will always starting fights etc.
There is never any honor amongst thieves
Thanks for pointing out valuable lessons that could help people before they do stupid stuff and end up in prison, Dr. G. Unfortunately I’m not confident the ones who need those lessons are watching this channel. 😟
Dr. Grande, I would love to hear your input on the Fatty Arbuckle case. Would you please consider this?
wow totally racist sentencing. you think that's fair she gets 10 years when her accomplices got 30 years for the same crime? that's flawed thinking.
The disparity in sentencing is more likely due to sex rather than race.
@@MrDryqula lol if you think a Black female would have gotten the same sentence you are sadly mistaken. Both race and sex are factors
@@MrDryqula It's both. Why is racial bias hard to believe when you can see that gender bias exists?
@@whosaidthat9265 The disparity between sentences for identical crimes far greater between men and women than between black and white.
@@bouncyshak see above.
Dr Grande great Video. Informative and funny and entertaining. You are master at creating great content.
Excellent analysis Dr. Grande!Thank You!
This makes me ask what she was thinking. Apparently she wasn’t
In regard to Abigail not wearing a mask, most jewelry stores buzz people in. They want to keep track of how many people enter and how they present themselves. If Abigail showed up at the door in a mask, she wouldn't get buzzed in and the police would surely be called by the store's employees.
She does the dirty work, but gets way less jail time.
Next time I'm about to read someone for absolute filth: "Now moving on to my analysis"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good looking girls get away with so much!
SHE was the one who conducted the rest of the robberies.
SHE was the one who carried the gun and put her victims lives in danger.
But THEY got the heavier sentence!
How is that fair?
food for thought. after spending three days in a local jail. i felt like i wanted to help people, because after no longer wanting to offend, i felt good about making positive changes and i felt like my positivity would rub off on other people. i felt that not only would that help the individual, but that it would help others around that person as well.
Love your videos Dr. grande! I listen to your videos while doing laundry and dishes, stuff around the house. It makes it a lot more interesting!
It does seem odd that the person committing the actual robbery had a much lighter sentence than their lookouts.
Prior records
How about doing a video on Larry Lawton a youtuber and former jewelry store robber.
my mother got arrested two states away from home as a young teen.
her two male friends had robbed a bank and she had been the driver.
once arrested she cried and claimed she had no idea what the men had planned and was only at the wheel of the car out of stupidity.
she received minimal charges and no ultimately no jail time.
after my grandparents drove 6 hours and picked her up, she broke down in hysterical laughter explaining she'd known exactly what was going on the whole time.
I'm surprised they didn't turn around and bring her back.
she went on to live her life as a boring suburban housewife.
When I read the title, I thought he was making a COVID joke. Now I understand, makes more sense.
Oh. Florida.
You should do a video on Martin Bryant and the Port Arthur Massacre!
2nd that request.
Agree! Please make a video @Dr. Tood Grande
You always get my day goin right:) thx doc!!
Oh, she learned from her earlier crimes, all right - when nabbed, they really threw the book at her - "community service" or dropped charges. The legal system taught her that she was, indeed, protected from any consequences. When one is taught that crime DOES pay, it'd be silly to expect the behavior to stop. And she's still being taught that - she gets ten years for armed robbery, they get three times that for, basically, handling stolen merchandise.
I agree. She has positive reinforcement of the worst kind. I suspect that some of the early judicial leniency was based upon her upbringing in a stable loving home.
I can't believe she got off so easy. Very brazen robberies.😳As always thank you for your brilliant analysis Dr Grande! You always deliver!💖💖
She was on a roll.
Why would you turn your friend in when she is just stealing ??? She ain't hurting no one. All that jewelry was insured. That's fucked up. Be a better friend people .
10 years what a joke. 15 years is what she should have got. She committed armed robbery on multiple occasions and had priors, not to mention she stole over 4 million dollars worth of jewelry.
Dr. Todd is so entertaining.
I’m always amazed by the light sentences women tend to get for serious crimes.
It would be interesting if you could cover the recent case of Miya Marcano.
Dr Grande’s deadpan slays me.
