Yes, the system is broken. The sentencing judge said he should not be paroled before 41 years. The system disregarded that and paroled him after 20-something. Now another person is dead.
"The United States has a current recidivism rate of 70% within 5 years (U.S. Prison Population, 2019)." I guess it becomes 100% after some more years. Recidivists must never be released back into society. How much pain will be necessary for society to understand that?.

It never ceases to amaze me that parole board after parole board is lured into the same trap. They are often impressed by the changed behaviour of the prisoner, without considering the change circumstance in which the prisoner lives. For example a car thief can not steal cars, a rapist can not rape women and a safe breaker can't rob safes because there are no cars to steal, no women to rape and no safes to rob. These changed behaviours are because there is no opportunity to indulge in the behaviour that led to them being incarcerated.

Thank you, Dr Grande. My sister is a corrections officer in a pre-trial facility. She states that the majority of the offenders are in jail on drug related offenses. We have a friend in jail who is currently waiting for a plea deal or trial. He has a history of meth addiction and assault convictions. He was out of jail for about a year and was doing well. He started slipping back into his old drug habits and ended up assaulting his girlfriend. He is being charged with attempted murder. He is hoping for a light sentence. We have our doubts about his ability to change. It truly is sad and a waste.
I’m genuinely curious, and I don’t mean this as an insult, but why would you be friends with someone like that? Aren’t you worried that he’s going to harm you or your family to get drugs? I’m not saying you should turn your back on a friend who needs help. But as someone who’s dealt with mental illness and addiction in my family, sometimes you have to place your own safety above everything else. Sometimes the most compassionate thing to do is go no contact and let them hit bottom.
People can change, but the change has to come from themselves and it has to be genuine and it usually has to come from personal tragedy or reflection. The result is that while it's *possible* for people to change, it's extremely unlikely. Because the biggest issue most people have most of the time is a lack of self-reflection.

I've noticed some "prison RUclipsrs" on here talk about their life as a criminal with pride as if it was honorable. Unsurprisingly, they appear to be falling from grace as of late. They tell the world about the growth they've achieved and insert themselves into the community as some kind of role model, all while having learned nothing. They glorify their crimes and then follow it with "don't do this at home, kids." I know a few *actually* reformed criminals in my personal life, most of them were in gangs, and they don't look back on their transgressions with fondness. Nor do they minimize their wrongdoings. They learned really important lessons as human beings, and they do their best to take all of the bad and channel it into something good. They seriously and concisely denounce that lifestyle, and they're honest about the real world consequences of their actions. Their focus isn't on themselves, it's on those they hurt. If they share their stories, they refuse present them in an attractive light because they know how easily people can be influenced and they care. People like this, and a few others here on youtube, don't care about that. They're still playing the victim, addicted to the attention it brings from those of us who choose to afford them the benefit of the doubt. It's just... sad, I suppose. It results people becoming callous because they don't want to be fooled again in the future. It only fortifies that element of distrust that keeps us all divided because no one wants to get hurt. There are so many people out here truly turning their lives around and trying their damnedest to make things right, but no one is willing to give them a chance. Meanwhile, this guy is out here killing people after bitching on a podcast about how unfair the system is. .... I've reached the point in this comment where my ADHD has entered the chat and I've forgotten where I'm going. I guess my point is that it's just sad to me that people like this, in just one interview, can undo the repartitive work that so many reformed individuals have dedicated their lives to. I don't hold it against Joe Rogan, he couldn't have known what would unfold. But I'm positive that this experience will ensure that the many voices of those who are truly doing good in the world will go unheard, because no one with an established platform will be willing to take the chance. It's such a shame.
Dr grande is throwing unprecedented amounts of shade in this latest one and I AM HERE FOR IT!!!! That murderer is the epitome of a wolf in sheep's clothing, such scary stuff. OMG I have never laughed so hard at one of your episodes and I have seen them all😊
“One thing was certain: Sheldon would never commit another serious crime again…Now moving to the timeline of the crime…” You slayed me again, Dr. G- pun intended.
A constant turning lead him right back to where he started. Thanks Dr G for the insightful analysis. I mostly form my own options before listening to your thoughts, but you never fail to provide new ideas to ponder!
"In April of 2008, my son was arrested for accidentally killing a Columbia graduate student while trying to impress a group of shallow friends who taunted, egged and dared him to attack the Asian man. Fast forward, my son eventually pled guilty to his recklessness and ignorance; however, the media had a field day on all the popular news channels, for my son was only 14-years old at the time of the incident." "I was incarcerated at the time. Sadly, my father - my son’s grandfather - had just completed a lengthy prison stint at a notorious prison...." And there was a crowd of folks who talked to Sheldon Johnson and mistook him for a kind and compassionate innocent victim of the institutionally racist system.
Thank you for covering this Dr. Grande. I'm hoping that Joe Rogan and his staff will be more careful about evaluating guests in the future. I'm also hoping Josh Dubin takes a long look in the mirror and thinks hard about who he's helping. If Sheldon wasn't released from jail, his former 'colleague' may still be alive.
I saw part of the Joe Rogan interview. I loved the part where he said he decided to give being good a try. And then he actually said if it didn't work out he could go back to being bad! He actually told Joe Rogan and the Innocence lawyer that if there wasn't something in it for him in being good, he'd just switch. Apparently he decided there wasn't enough worth in being good. He should get the death penalty but it probably isn't an option.
Usually I don't because he makes fun of the victim or people with mental health issues when he covers them. He should stick to videos like this were no one cares if the focus is made fun off.
Yea, It sounds like these 2 were lovers while they were incarcerated together , and something just went awry that day. Dismembering someone is a great deal of work , and that had to be some passion behind that. 🤔
Dear Dr Grande, the dry humor was sensational. Sheldon, a career criminal with no conscience. A great episode with great moral underpinning. Simply, a leopard does not change their spots.
As someone that turned their whole life around, (with extensive clinical intervention, personal determination, and help), but without a head in my freezer, nah. Ive come to the conclusion that people so sure of their wisdom in explaining all of human behaviour are the ones you should least listen to.
The only thing that truly changed people is long, drawn out critical thinking and dialogue with new people around them to mentor and guide them, or through being scared shitless and shocked so bad they see the light.

@@steveomedic hello mate. Luckily for us we dont need to use belief. We have the scientific method. Its likely youve seen the most damaged and least supported people. Generalisations, in this case wrong, are understandable. Everything changes man, its the one reliable constant.
Another terrible story is that of the man who became a family annihilator- *twice.* (The first time, I think he was sent to a psychiatric institution.) That was around the 1970s. Yet another awful re-offender- in prison for having hacked off a girl's arms and left her for dead in some woods- was released as an elderly man. Someone shows up at the guy's house, and he's on his couch, stabbing a dead woman. Then there was that Eastern European man who wrote books in prison, whom everyone was petitioning to have released, and when he was, he traveled to the U.S. to continue his killing career, now moonlighting as a successful author. ~ All just crazy cases, worth checking out! ~
The name of the teen who was maimed was Mary Vincent. She was hitch-hiking when Lawrence Singleton gave her a ride. He not only raped her but indeed chopped her arms off. Left for dead, she somehow survived by remaining very calm and decreased her blood flow. Singleton was paroled after only 8 years in a California prison. Sheldon Johnson has an incredible skill for the con. It's up to Obama force level. If he had not chosen a criminal career path, he could very well be the Governor of New York if not the President. He's that smooth.
@@marleylove510 Maybe you can help me remember another one: This was also 1970s era. It involved a college fling between two women. After the breakup, one of the women started living in a crawl space under her ex's house, banging on pipes to scare her, and also listening in on her phone conversations (so she could show up whenever the ex made plans). It was among the creepiest stalking stories I had ever heard, but I only once saw a true-crime program about this, and it was awhile ago.
@@michaelcanty4940 I couldn't believe they released that man (who maimed Mary Vincent)! And then she has to hear that he's out again?! That was horrendous. (Sheldon Johnson was a name I'd forgotten, but his story stuck with me, it was so unusual.)

Why do some want to take the Rogan podcast down? It is what it is. An interview where the interviewee was dishonest. Happens every week on Meet the Press.
What's sad is how this could negatively impact the chances for pther inmates who are eligible for similar programs. Many prisoners with extensive criminal record, even including violent crimes, have been successfully reformed and do not go on to reofrend when they are released early. Many go on to elad productive lives and to engage int heir communities in a positive way.
Yeah, we need to give them a chance to reoffend, who cares about those that may get hurt, or those that follow the law and expect reasonable safety. Violent crimes should never be paroled, especially those where the person says things like "he didn't get hurt just roughed up a little". They can work on leading a productive life from a jail cell

There were lots of jobs during that time. Lookouts could make thousands a week as kids. There were also people who only bagged up and other administrative tasks. Some organizations brought in hundreds of thousands or millions a week. You literally need workers besides dealers to manage that
The blonde wig though 😂
He thought it's a clever disguise but it was like he had a lamp on his head
@@Ratzfourtyfour for real 😭 he thought he was a genius
I think Sheldon had a split personality. The blonde wig was one his alter egos.
Which raises the question of why he just has a blonde wig lying around.
Was he an actor? Did a paramour leave it behind? Did he just like being pretty in his free time?
Lovely on Sheldon!
"The episode promoted the idea that one thing was certain, Sheldon would never commit another serious crime. Now moving to the timeline of the crime"
"Their remembering time turned into a dismembering crime". 😂 Dark comedy at it's finest.

All prisons are filled with totally innocent people; or at least severely misunderstood. If you don´t believe me - ask their mothers!
The thousands of criminals I have seen in 40 years of law enforcement have had one thing in common : Every single one was a liar.
- J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Director 1935-1972
Hoover would know from personal liar and deception experience.
J. Edgar Hoover is a legendary scumbag so definitely show no deference to his sense of morality.

My parents were mixed race too, dad liked the 100 meters and mom preferred the egg and spoon.

@@stitchingshenanigans3917 they used a double entendre… a pun… or play on words. “Mixed race” is a being used like homonym - one set of words spelled one way, but with two meanings.
The two meanings are “mixed race” as a mix of ethnicities, and also “mixed race” as literal activities you might see at an athletic field day event. More examples of that type of race are potato sack race, track and field race, three legged race, blindfold race.
I just taught this concept and more as a hip-hop educator who specializes in rap. The most uses we found was for the word “tap”. It can mean finger tap, tap that ass, tap resources, tap water, tap healing modality, tap in like check in with someone. 6 meanings, one word written with one kind of spelling.
Get it?

Turned 180⁰ twice 😂 you crack me up
"both his parents were deaf" I guess his parents never got to appreciate a shout out for Sheldon, should that rare event ever even happened.🤣
Hahahaha gReAT jOkE!
Sheldon was a child that literally was never told no... makes sense for sure🤨
when his parents argued, their fingers go a mile a minute!
I’ve been wanting Dr.G to cover this… insane story. Always love to hear the Grande take on the sitch!
Joe Rogan should've waited till March 8th to try and get an interview with Sheldon about how he turned his life around.
Maybe he can get another now that he's changed his life around again
You know there's going to be trouble when you have someone's head and body parts in your refrigerator.

I don’t think there’s ever been a more perfect moment for Dr Grande to say, ‘…Now moving to the timeline of the crime”!👏🤣👍👍
I think his victims were more victimized than he
You're probably right.

Yet another example of how the justice system fails to protect our society over and over again.
Bravo! Dr. Grande
You are informative and yet sophisticatedly amusing. A rare quality
It's called a "Con Game" for this very reason.
He has definitely proven that the criminal justice system is broken.
And that The Innocence Project is a fraud
I've noticed some "prison RUclipsrs" on here talk about their life as a criminal with pride as if it was honorable. Unsurprisingly, they appear to be falling from grace as of late. They tell the world about the growth they've achieved and insert themselves into the community as some kind of role model, all while having learned nothing. They glorify their crimes and then follow it with "don't do this at home, kids." I know a few *actually* reformed criminals in my personal life, most of them were in gangs, and they don't look back on their transgressions with fondness. Nor do they minimize their wrongdoings. They learned really important lessons as human beings, and they do their best to take all of the bad and channel it into something good. They seriously and concisely denounce that lifestyle, and they're honest about the real world consequences of their actions. Their focus isn't on themselves, it's on those they hurt. If they share their stories, they refuse present them in an attractive light because they know how easily people can be influenced and they care. People like this, and a few others here on youtube, don't care about that. They're still playing the victim, addicted to the attention it brings from those of us who choose to afford them the benefit of the doubt.
It's just... sad, I suppose. It results people becoming callous because they don't want to be fooled again in the future. It only fortifies that element of distrust that keeps us all divided because no one wants to get hurt. There are so many people out here truly turning their lives around and trying their damnedest to make things right, but no one is willing to give them a chance. Meanwhile, this guy is out here killing people after bitching on a podcast about how unfair the system is. .... I've reached the point in this comment where my ADHD has entered the chat and I've forgotten where I'm going. I guess my point is that it's just sad to me that people like this, in just one interview, can undo the repartitive work that so many reformed individuals have dedicated their lives to. I don't hold it against Joe Rogan, he couldn't have known what would unfold. But I'm positive that this experience will ensure that the many voices of those who are truly doing good in the world will go unheard, because no one with an established platform will be willing to take the chance. It's such a shame.
Interesting comment thank you, didn't know that was a thing on RUclips
Dr grande is throwing unprecedented amounts of shade in this latest one and I AM HERE FOR IT!!!! That murderer is the epitome of a wolf in sheep's clothing, such scary stuff. OMG I have never laughed so hard at one of your episodes and I have seen them all😊
"...Sheldon would never commit another serious crime again....
Now moving to the timeline of the crime"
Lmao Dr Grande got em
“One thing was certain: Sheldon would never commit another serious crime again…Now moving to the timeline of the crime…”
You slayed me again, Dr. G- pun intended.
A constant turning lead him right back to where he started. Thanks Dr G for the insightful analysis. I mostly form my own options before listening to your thoughts, but you never fail to provide new ideas to ponder!
"In April of 2008, my son was arrested for accidentally killing a Columbia graduate student while trying to impress a group of shallow friends who taunted, egged and dared him to attack the Asian man. Fast forward, my son eventually pled guilty to his recklessness and ignorance; however, the media had a field day on all the popular news channels, for my son was only 14-years old at the time of the incident." "I was incarcerated at the time. Sadly, my father - my son’s grandfather - had just completed a lengthy prison stint at a notorious prison...." And there was a crowd of folks who talked to Sheldon Johnson and mistook him for a kind and compassionate innocent victim of the institutionally racist system.
Thank you for covering this Dr. Grande. I'm hoping that Joe Rogan and his staff will be more careful about evaluating guests in the future. I'm also hoping Josh Dubin takes a long look in the mirror and thinks hard about who he's helping. If Sheldon wasn't released from jail, his former 'colleague' may still be alive.
They won't .
they are black they wont
How is anybody supposed to know the guy was gonna dismember someone? The guy had done his time..
@@tylersays- Don't know much about recidivism rates do you ?
I saw part of the Joe Rogan interview. I loved the part where he said he decided to give being good a try. And then he actually said if it didn't work out he could go back to being bad! He actually told Joe Rogan and the Innocence lawyer that if there wasn't something in it for him in being good, he'd just switch.
Apparently he decided there wasn't enough worth in being good. He should get the death penalty but it probably isn't an option.
You consistently produce great quality amusing videos!! Fantastic you have found something you are wonderful at and can share it with us!
Those that only see victims fail to see the murderous psychopath sitting right in front of them...
So great! I laughed, I cried, I stood up and cheered- but especially laughed a lot😂 Thanks Dr Grande!
Dr. Grande is one of the best doctors out there. I love his humor, he cracks me up.
Usually I don't because he makes fun of the victim or people with mental health issues when he covers them. He should stick to videos like this were no one cares if the focus is made fun off.
Yea, It sounds like these 2 were lovers while they were incarcerated together , and something just went awry that day. Dismembering someone is a great deal of work , and that had to be some passion behind that. 🤔
I doubt that! He’s just a cold, calculating, murderer. He wanted to hide the body more easily, so he dismembered it.

Dear Dr Grande, the dry humor was sensational. Sheldon, a career criminal with no conscience. A great episode with great moral underpinning. Simply, a leopard does not change their spots.
We appreciate how well you've articulated your insights, Dr Grande. You'll always have our support no matter what.
As a former cop turned medic, i've come to the realization that ppl never really change. They are who they are.
As someone that turned their whole life around, (with extensive clinical intervention, personal determination, and help), but without a head in my freezer, nah.
Ive come to the conclusion that people so sure of their wisdom in explaining all of human behaviour are the ones you should least listen to.
The only thing that truly changed people is long, drawn out critical thinking and dialogue with new people around them to mentor and guide them, or through being scared shitless and shocked so bad they see the light.
@jamesphilip4402
Your wisdom lives only in your head James. Hold it tight. It helps you make it to the next day. Look, i'm begging you to believe me on this one thing..i "want" to believe in the good side of it all. I honestly, truly, pray-to-god wanna. But having worked the public service sector for over 30yrs, i've seen good ppl wanting to believe, only to be disappointed by the tragedy of harboring who they really are. I wish you luck in your continued efforts at finding the right path. But..from the core, ppl are, what they are.

It would be nice to see Dr. Grande's analysis of Joe Rogan on his elevation of this killer
I always say
"Everyone can say they've changed but not everyone can prove they've changed."
Another terrible story is that of the man who became a family annihilator- *twice.* (The first time, I think he was sent to a psychiatric institution.) That was around the 1970s.
Yet another awful re-offender- in prison for having hacked off a girl's arms and left her for dead in some woods- was released as an elderly man. Someone shows up at the guy's house, and he's on his couch, stabbing a dead woman.
Then there was that Eastern European man who wrote books in prison, whom everyone was petitioning to have released, and when he was, he traveled to the U.S. to continue his killing career, now moonlighting as a successful author.
~ All just crazy cases, worth checking out! ~
Damn, I must follow tru crime a lot, because I’ve heard of every one of these stories.
Add Ed Kemper. He was released after mur*ering his grandparents.
The name of the teen who was maimed was Mary Vincent. She was hitch-hiking when Lawrence Singleton gave her a ride. He not only raped her but indeed chopped her arms off. Left for dead, she somehow survived by remaining very calm and decreased her blood flow. Singleton was paroled after only 8 years in a California prison.
Sheldon Johnson has an incredible skill for the con. It's up to Obama force level. If he had not chosen a criminal career path, he could very well be the Governor of New York if not the President. He's that smooth.
@@marleylove510 Maybe you can help me remember another one: This was also 1970s era. It involved a college fling between two women. After the breakup, one of the women started living in a crawl space under her ex's house, banging on pipes to scare her, and also listening in on her phone conversations (so she could show up whenever the ex made plans). It was among the creepiest stalking stories I had ever heard, but I only once saw a true-crime program about this, and it was awhile ago.
@@michaelcanty4940 I couldn't believe they released that man (who maimed Mary Vincent)! And then she has to hear that he's out again?! That was horrendous.
(Sheldon Johnson was a name I'd forgotten, but his story stuck with me, it was so unusual.)
Another great breakdown Dr Grande, ngl i loved the few facetious remarks, deserved.
The jokes in this particular commentary were absolutely hilarious. 😆😆😆😆
In every instance, Sheldon minimizes his own guilt, and excuses the actions he does admit to as being someone else's fault.
"As if criminal charges are airborne, strike innocent people like missile." 😂😂😂 Dr. Grande should be awarded this year's Mark Twain Prize for this gem of a line.. 😂😂😂

Hi Dr. Grande,
Excellent analysis. As always I learn something new from your videos.
Just imagine you’re a police officer and you discover a torso and foot in a container. Your life is forever changed
What's sad is how this could negatively impact the chances for pther inmates who are eligible for similar programs. Many prisoners with extensive criminal record, even including violent crimes, have been successfully reformed and do not go on to reofrend when they are released early. Many go on to elad productive lives and to engage int heir communities in a positive way.
Yeah, we need to give them a chance to reoffend, who cares about those that may get hurt, or those that follow the law and expect reasonable safety. Violent crimes should never be paroled, especially those where the person says things like "he didn't get hurt just roughed up a little". They can work on leading a productive life from a jail cell
its sad when one time lovers have a falling out.
"A remembering time descended into a dismembering crime." Classic Dr Grande!
The man is guilty.
