    This was a hard case to cover, my condolences rest with Mollie's family. And just a quick side note as I know politics is a sensitive topic, but this video is not intended to politically influence anyone or reveal any of my own opinions. As a narrator I'm just bringing up the statements which divided people.
    I may be late with next week's video. I spent most of last week sick and I'm still not 100%.

Even though I have my phone and pepper spray with me, even though I live in a small, rural town where "everyone knows everyone" you can NEVER be too safe.

    I don't often leave comments, but as an Iowan, it feels appropriate to finally say something I've been thinking about your channel.
    I really appreciate the way you handle true crime. You don't sensationalize. You don't make jokes to take the edge off (occasional light-hearted quips, but nothing like what I see in some other true crime posters). You clearly think a lot about each case and form emotions and connections based on your research. Your approach is very down-to-earth, straightforward, calming, and interesting all at once. I really appreciate all of the aspects you put into every video. You're one of the best out there.

      Men do get murdered as well, but it's all kinds of different reasons: theft, gang fights, vengeance... But those don't happen to you on a daily basis now, do they ? While a woman getting approached by a man does happen on a daily basis.

I heard of this case, (from when it actually happened here in the US), and I have to say, I LOVE the last portion of Your video
Where you go into what occurred after the trial, the lives of those involved either directly or peripherally, and the positive way their lives where touched, because of how someone CHOSE to move forward or make a positive choice
I’m doing a crap job explaining (not feeling so great today), but my point is, I Love how the last portion of your video focused on the positive & there were aspects I hadn’t ever heard of prior to the video
so Thanks for the additional info & for so positively representing the victim, their family, friends & loved ones..and others & just always staying positive & generally unbiased in your content (ok other than the understandable on only occasional, ‘he’s a jerk’ comment to two

    An incredibly moving ending to a tragic story. Thank you for your usual sensitivity towards the victim, her family and loved ones.

    They have got to be the slimiest lawyers I've ever heard on this case. How they sleep at night getting paid literally with blood money to protect an obvious murderer is beyond me and beyond repulsive.

      As long as there’s money involved a lawyer will defend anyone no matter what sick crime the commit

      Hillary Clinton defended a child rapist she knew was guilty, and laughed about the case later. "He took a lie detector test. I had him take a polygraph, which he passed, which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs. [laughs]" - Hillary Rodham
      Lawyers can be some scummy people, but it's often part of the job. Sad.

      I'm pretty sure some lawyer has to agree to represent even the obviously guilty people, due to the way most modern legal systems are set up. So, yes, some of them are slimy and trying to get people off, and others are committed to the system despite their distaste for their clients.
