      He did ask for a lawyer and got one….were you listening to the video at all? The video we got was his statements made AFTER he took a plea bargain, part of which required giving statements on what he did that lead to the charges he plead guilty to. This video isn’t him lying his way out of anything, it’s him giving his version of what happened after he’s already plead guilty.

It's only with the Advent of independent true crime RUclips channels that we've finally scratched the surface into police bungling up true crime cases. Indie RUclips channels don't need to interview police staff, therefore they don't need to play nice with them, like mainstream true crime channels. Indie channels can lay into police incompetence without fear of retaliation.

I used to be naive about this too and almost got me and my sons killed. Thereafter, I always carried bear spray and later on a gun. If you do not believe in guns, at least carry the bear spray. When I walked alone, and I saw a man coming, I would go off trail enough to give me time to be ready. And if you hike all the time, get a satellite phone.

      I heard about it a few years ago. I remember being worried about the dog. But you can't go anywhere anymore without some freak lurking around waiting for a victim. I used to go camping all the time when I was 16 and 17 and thought nothing of it. I always had my boyfriend and my sister and another guy friend with me. No way I'd go alone, that's just creepy to me. But now no one should go alone for either hiking or camping. The animals aren't the problem it's the people and no one ever thinks to take a gun, even people who own them will leave them at home. A lot of people wouldn't be dead if they had just took their firearm. I take mine everywhere you really have to anymore. I carry it on me everywhere I go except a government building because of metal detectors. But people lose their 💩 much too often these days and shoot up public places, retail stores, grocery stores, and nowhere is safe. I'm not one of those nuts, but if I happen to be trapped in one of these situations, I will do my very best to keep any innocent person from dying. So the no guns allowed is pointless because the crazies that go in and randomly kill people definitely don't do as the sign says, so there's no way I'm going to.

My mom said it looked like a bad argument and they kind of felt like they should stop and ask the woman if she wanted a ride. My dad came from a background that says "mind your business" so they drove on. The next day she found out that there was a domestic incident resulting in homicide and she thinks it was them. She still thinks about that and wishes they'd stopped.

      He didn't have a cell mate, I brought him his lunch tray one day I'm Leon County Jail, would have been towards the end of 2012. His eyes were absolutely insane. He said thank you in a much higher pitched voice than how he sounds in the interrogation. But yeah they don't put people like this in gen pop, they stay in a room 23 hrs a day at least.

      @@robertbarnhart7791 Are you allowed to talk about inmates to people outside of the prison? The reason for asking is that I cannot find any interviews of COs who work in the prison housing Ghislaine Maxwell. I wonder if she's actually in prison. In theory the media could be lying and Ghislaine could be free.

    You usually can tell by looking at a person if someone is at least unstable if not dangerous. Their eyes are usually bulging out of the sockets.

    What's insane is he has a firm grasp on many scientific topics. He's a pretty interesting person to listen to. He'll be popular in prison I'm sure

      He simple appealed to authority. Any idiot can memorize and recollect information. His stuff about the matrix was pretty based.

      Because it is true. I am in a situation where I am being gang stalked and have had attempts made on my life. Those involved profess to have a high degree of moral fortitude, and they truly believe that they do. For them, however, it is only wrong when the other guy does it.
