I find it sole crushing when couples only fight when they should actually just... converse.
Not sure if the misspelling is accidental or if you just pulled a Dr Grande...
lol good one!
@@dammar117 absolutely pulled a doctor grande
Just what we need: more bad jokes delivered under the shield of irony.
I say enough. It's time to revoke the irony protection clause for bad jokes.
😂
The moment Dr. Grande said she requested a minimum of 5 years but “they exceeded her expectations and gave her life in prison” I physically choked from laughter. Omg 😂😂😂
And "homicidal footwear". That frickin killed me!
and she spoke for 7 hours?! really? wow😳
She asked for THE minimum of 5 years.
I start to get the idea from life experience that some people thrive on drama and they intentionally create it and persist in it even when they know it is dangerous possibly fatal. People also don't like solutions because they enjoy the 'problem', it becomes their identity. If you tell them how to fix it they don't want to hear about it.
💯
^^^ Facts!
Stay far, far away from people like that!
Sounds like malignant bpd
Waw ,so true
😂 “heels over head” lol thank you Dr. Grande for your humor and time sharing with us 🙏🏼☀️
He’s lowkey the funniest person
that was so good lol
The cackle I cacked !!!!! 😂
My favourite bit too - he's a (subtle) scream!! 😆
Hi Dr. Grande. Another good analysis of two self entitled drunks. He didn't deserve death because of his psychonarc girlfriend. He should've left the minute she showed any sign of violence. Now his lifes over & she hopefully rots in hell, just saying. I hope y'all are having a splendid evening. Peace & hugs, love, Janine Smiley🙂😀😉😏😍☕🍩☕🥧💎💍👑👒👡👞📿💄🍣🏡🚗🚘
I imagine Dr Grande in his den, smoking a cigar, reading through his letters. "Dear Dr Grande, can you please analyze the case of __________? I would be so grateful. Sincerely, M. Smith in Smallville, KY" He reads through them and the only notes he takes are a brainstorm of potential puns and dad jokes.
Dr.Grande SMOKES???!!!!😮😮😮😮
😂 cigar or pipe back in the Freudian era😂
I hope he'll cover the Pike county murders eventually and a Murdaugh update. If not I'll send him a request and a cigar.
Don’t forget his glass of good brandy
@@pacificahorrorsociety7525 Can you suggest a good brandy? 🤣
A sad situation for all involved. Stephan sounds like a broken man just looking for love and companionship. I wonder what happened to her two daughters? Raised by other relatives, will they ever have a desire to build a relationship with their mother in prison?
Thank you for the analysis and shoe quips, Dr Grande.
ALCOHOLISM causes a lot of this. Many times. Fighting drinkers.
Sounds like they had a real Depp-Heard relationship
Not for her she can Rot in prison, then hell.
@@amz33894 There is no evidence presented here that his drinking in any way contributed to the killing.. In fact, he seems like a very well adjusted individual regardless of his drinking habits.
Presenting this as a case of "two drunks in a bad relationship" does the victim a disservice. This was a case of an entirely blameless individual being stalked and murdered by a raging narcissist-psychopath. If anything, Stephan was too nice and too willing to attempt to provide care to the person who would brutally murder him.
@@aarondavis8943 It's troubling that he didn't attempt to defend himself against his assailant/ex girlfriend.. He was likely stronger than her and could have pinned her to the floor, and gotten help even just by shouting to get LE involved. I learned through experience to break off once romantic relationships via phone-just in case. It could be dangerous to break up so why tempt fate-just in case.
Over 40 hits with a shoe like that into someone’s skull is just psychotic. Imagine what that would be like. It’s horrific and if she did that , even if she feared for her life, she should never get out of prison. I’m sure she could have stopped much earlier and he would have stayed down
I'm really sick of this feared for my life excuse. No if you fear for your life you run away. If there is ample ability to escape the fear for my life line is nonsubstantial.
Watch her interrogation…she lied about everything…she had no remorse and she deserves life in prison. He was no danger to her at all and she knew it. She was angry because he wouldn’t take her back…he tried to help her but it wasn’t enough for her! I believe she knew exactly what she was doing! That poor man suffered horrific injuries ….she could have stopped but she wanted to kill him…. She had her whole “alibi “ memorized and didn’t show any remorse…she played the abused woman card and lost.
Spot on!
Absolutely! I saw it the women is INSANE
I don't think she had her alibi memorized...during the lengthy interrogation, she was extremely vague and seemed to be making the 'fight' story up as she went along,
What alibi?
It’s great to listen to Grande’s even keeled analysis every day. I truly appreciate your videos, Grande.
I enjoy your user name.
I believe the first cat to drive was Toonces. Although he had the best of intentions, he had serious trouble navigating cliffs. It always ended in cat-tastrophe.🔥 Anyway, good luck in your endeavors.
soothing voice but many times biased cultural bound opinions.
What a poor man ! He suffered from violence and loneliness and end up killed by a toxic person 💔 may he rest in peace 🙏
What a heel. So glad to see your comedic genius is still as profound as ever, Dr. Grande.
Voted "best dressed" proceeded to murder with her shoe. 🧐
Lmbo
Dressed to kill.
Professional foreshadowing.
Hilarious shoe humor, which lightened the grim subject matter. Love what you do, Dr. Grande.
What do people expect when the pick up alcoholics in a bar? It’s too bad that Stephan couldn’t see his own worth.
It sucks when the only people available to you, seem to be these types. You have to accept being alone.
Harder to pickup women in grocery store and library.
He should have left her at the bar that night. In fact, the moment he realized he wasn't interested, he should never have (voluntarily) seen her again.
I'd be locking my doors with the cops on speed dial. Lawyers, protection orders, security cameras...once you're being stalked, you need to enact every legal asset you have at your disposal. Operation: Full Fortress 🤣
Did they not meet in the building that they both lived?
@@strummercash5601 Is Honeybear also "Smalls"? Anyway, happy for you.
Your videos have made it clear to me how some people are just more vulnerable and that attracts abusers. Life lessons teaching us to tolerate and even expect it, accepting responsibility for it, even. Quiet, introverted, sensitive children are targets and once abused believe they only deserve that type of treatment. I was so scared as an 18yo that I would lose everything I had if I reported my abuser to the police. The justice system was just going to fail and possibly shame me further. But, even so, I should have done it. I might have learned that I deserved better and that I could defend myself. Lesson: if your mother and teachers won't respond when you tell them, keep trying. You may never get the chance again and it will affect your whole life.
Stefan’s generosity led him from being well-heeled to, well, heeled.
🏆
This is marvelous 🤣
😅😅😅😅
"She decided to dig in her heels", Dr Grande how can you poke fun at such a heely sad case?🤣
Your ‘Specificity’ on the years ‘ALF’ was on Television was (Per Usual) a FANTASTIC Example of your Detail & Spot On Details!!
Poor Stefan! Subject matter aside, I couldn't help giggling at all the many puns you found for this analysis, Dr. Grande -- the deadpan delivery make them even more fun. 👍Thank you.
Ironically, the stiletto is named after a weapon, namely a slender knife.
I once read an old detective novel in which a character said that you should never drink before sundown, or you'll become a heel.
This case is a reminder that childhood trauma ,( Stephans abuse by his father) need to be addressed. It does not resolve without shining light on it. Therapy with a licensed mental health professional is one chance for addressing and resolving it. Poor Stephan did not realize that. Intelligent people do stupid things.
I was wondering what went in to Anna. She let her children go to someone else? That is not really understandable to me. She had an income and was able to support herself and them. How is drinking and meaningless engagement with men a better choice?
How come she married right after her divorce again?
Strange from the beginning of this story....the army drafting avoidance for the unborn baby.
Thank you for the effort to shine a light on this case, Dr. Grande.
I don’t think it’s substantiated to believe that no one ever resolved childhood trauma until the state started licensing therapists, but my prayers are with every person struggling with this. May they all find peace
Actually it is greatly substantiated by research.
I love when Dr. Grande gets super specific, like thank you for telling us exactly what kind of heel was used.
I am often critical of your jokes, but the "heels over head" punchline is where I put my foot down.
It's like he has no sole.
@@scottapache5041Choke..lol...snicker😅.
Just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating what could be happening with a Manolo Blahnik like this.

Shoe emoticons! that is a first for me! thank you!
lol
Sounds somewhat familiar 🤣
@@clivehampshire6531 Yes it's been a couple of hundred times I've made the same joke. But it always makes me smile.
Thanks again for your witty analysis of the Ana Trujillo case, Dr. Grande, and the sly shoe-type references you made. Just like Bette Midler once said, "Give a girl the proper footwear and she can conquer the world!" In this case, it allowed a drunken, violence prone woman to kill a drunken wuss of a man. Given her previous tendency towards violence, I would have to disagree with your suggestion that she should have used a crime of passion defense to get a shorter sentence. She had a history of escalating violent behavior, and while her murder of Stefan might not have been premeditated or coldly calculated, it could be suggested that it would have been inevitable, given their personalities.
She is a dangerous menace, and prison is a good alternative housing arrangement to finding passive men she can just walk over-and potentially kill.
One of my good friends, John Jordan, was the ADA on this case. I got some really interesting information straight from the prosecution! 😊
Incredible video, Dr. Grande! ♡♡
So terribly sad for that, maybe too kind, professor.
I loved how you said in your final thoughts- "This was a case where a homicidal predator, who appeared to be destined to kill someone, found an easy victim."
Another great video Dr Grande.
Along with the wit!
how did it happen that you and me watched this video 3 weeks ago, but it was released today x)

@@normacook8325 nope~ I don't have a subscription but I watched that video a couple of weeks ago (from recommended), and when I saw it released I was like "am I crazy" x)
@@spr13ngsae hmmm....now I'm curious how that happened!
It’s always Grande time! Let’s do this. I think this topic will be very interesting. Thanks, Grande!
Hi, Dr. Grande. Love your content. Can you please analyze the case of director Roman Polanski?
Perfect timing! Thank you Dr. Grande. Fascinating content.
I keep hearing about women using stilettos as self defense weapons, and I can't help but find it hilarious. I refuse to wear heels, but now I want a Stiletto semi-auto pistol, just for the lolz.
I can only imagine ‘The Pew Pew Pump’ 👠🔫
Yesss king go offff
I've heard about this case, but look forward to Dr. Grande's analysis.
I have to say Stephan put himself in a bad situation that night. He waits in a cab while his "girlfriend" flirts with other men. He wanted to get her back to his condo that night because he was lonely. I have to believe he knew he was playing with fire. After the cab, he still refused to get himself out of the situation. I feel really bad for him. The lesson here is no matter how lonely you can't let yourself get involved in dangerous relationships.
I love your sense of humour Dr. Grande.
@Dr Grande please do an piece on the AWP issue
ALF was an amazing show. Funny AND genuinely clever. If we had sitcoms of that caliber today, I might still watch 'em.
I agree. ALF wasn't a kids show. The dry humour was amazing. My favorite sit com ever!
An older educated man getting caught up with a troubled, uneducated woman was no good here . Sad story. Dr. G, your humor is priceless!!
Hi, Dr. Grande I have a question which probably have been asked a thousand times over but couldn’t seem to locate any in the comment section, there’s not enough time in a day to find this lol!!!😂😂🤣🤣 But anyway have you ever been subpoenaed (hope that’s how it’s spelled) to analyze someone in court proceedings?? If so could you share your experience briefly with us and if not would you be comfortable doing so?? Thanks in advance! And one more thing your humor and seriousness and the shade that you throw so very well with each of the cases I’ve watched makes my complete day!!!
Outstanding work Sir.
The comedic timing of that Achilles heel line was perfect lol
Ana's last name is pronounced Troo-hee-yoh, although Troo-heel-oh lent itself to the shoe humor rather effortlessly. I wish Stefan had put his foot down to end this relationship, long before Ana had time to put down hers. I hope those relatives raising her children had a solid foundation of Love and discipline, so at least they might have a chance at a normal life. Thank you once again for your insight.
He didn't know how to break off a romantic relationship properly and safely. He should have kept her away from his person and his apartment.
@@loralieisa That is true. Unfortunately, there was a lot of dysfunction there, so proper boundaries were not prioritized from the beginning. That poor guy shouldn't have been killed, but he was certainly vulnerable to that outcome, obviously.
When he said "Couples fall in love head over heels" I knew what was coming and I didn't want to laugh but I did. lol!
This is an excellent analysis . This made me heartbroken with the thought of this man being so sensitive, gentle and giving so much to a woman of this horrible mentality, . Falling victim to this is a true reality and I do believe that men in general are the gentler and kinder species.
It’s sad how we treat our boys and men.
lmao statistics prove otherwise. it's not women out raping and killing people in the streets, that's for sure.
@@rhondasisco-cleveland2665 sad how we treat our girls and women. THATS a systematic issue. even when speaking about male victims, who do they have to fear most? other men, 100%. a case like this is literally the outliar. it's just sad how good people get treated in this world. but having too much pity for men as a whole ignores who is statistically the most violent and dangerous- men themselves.
@@taylorfrink1182 Domestic violence statistics point to men and women almost breaking even when it comes to the gender distribution of the abusers
You will stop believing that if you look at the murder stats. That said, there are a lot of good men who fall victim to horrible women, too!
Some pics of her in court look like Linda Blair in The Exorcist When shes possessed of course
Booze will get you any time you lose control over it. The problem is that those who have lost control don't realize that it has happened to them.
Hello 👋 good Dr. Grande . Thank you 😊 for all that you 🙏 do.
Yet Another Top Episode! Big Up Yerself Doctor Grande ! Nuff Respect! ❤️🐕❤️
This case shows that alcoholism can put people, such as the professor, in dangerous situations. His judgement was certainly affected. The alcohol was a way of avoiding the potentially painful, but more effective, ways of ending his troubles at work and in relationships (including ending the relationship with Anna). At first, the alcohol, attention, and sex made him tolerate her issues. I also think the professor's empathy, mixed with liquor, kept her in his life too long. He went beyond what a sober, more reasonable person would have done. I think the aging Anna kept having to prove to herself that she was still very attractive to men. In addition, she was not capable of monogamy. There is certainly a narcissistic streak in her, magnified by alcohol.
2:55 Yes thank you 😆 I was praying you'd mention this and the way you delivered the plain facts was hilarious.
Hey Dr. Grande💕 Thank you for the new video & thank you for covering this case! This case captivated me from right when it happened. Although a stiletto would be quite a good option if you really had to defend yourself, I Personally don't think that she had to take it to the level she did. That's just my opinion. But I hope you have a great day💜
"I personally don't think that she had to take it to the level she did." I agree, murder is a bit harsh.
The song ’Head over Heels’ comes to mind
Typical world, someone is friendly and kind and someone takes advantage of them.
I used to be married to an unusually gentle Swede--just gentle by innate temperament, I think. Trauma or no trauma in the background, I think that just being Swedish is a big marker of vulnerability. I am only half-joking about that, being a chill Nordic, myself.
But, poor Alf! What a sad case!
And I would cut Trujillo no slack for `sudden passion. If she could open his braincase with a shoe for any reason, she's one of society's wild animals and should be treated as such. There is suddenly way too much of this `sudden passion' garbage going inadequately punished, right now.
I thought Alf was short for Alfonzo or Alfred what was Swedish Alf short for?
As soon as I hear Swede I thought ‘oh poor fucker he was probably extremely patience and kind with that little devil woman, cause in my experience Scandinavians are so gentle and chilled
Excellent analysis Dr. Grande! 🖤
Your show is so interesting. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Perfect ad placement with Caroline Herrerra perfume
Footage of her interview w/ law enforcement on EWU was quite chilling! 😲
Very informative, your wit and the puns always make my day!
Contankerism and stilletto shoes..always a bad mix. Stephan wanted Anna to cook for him..and she served him fillet of sole. Her guilty verdict was a shoe in.
The puns though
Also, Ana’s last name sounds like *True Heel Yo* 👠
Nice one Jude😁
I love Dr. Grande's sense of humor, lol!
Dear Dr Grande I generally agree with your assessment of these crimes but u said she should have recieved a lesser sentence but in the end you called her a predator and destined to commit murder. Maybe the sentence did not fit the crime but it certainly fit her.
Wow what a beautiful photo! 🥶 Thank you Dr. Grande, you get my vote 🗳
Trujillo is pronounced more like True-he-yo. Love the videos. Keep up the good work. The videos help me pass the time as I work like a podcast. Love the deadpan delivery humor.
“…waiting for the other shoe to drop.” Very good.
Hello Dr Grande 👍
"...heels over head..." oh man, you got me with that one. Lol!
Don’t mess with anyone who can walk in 5” heels with confidence. I know they’re weapons. I’ve stepped on my own foot!
Absolutely! They are SERIOUS weapons. Not just the heel either, ever seen anyone get clocked by the platform bit! Full-on.....anyone who thinks stripers are voulnerable cuz they're walking around almost naked never looked closely at those insane shoes they wear! FYI I'm female, so I feel I can say if you can't walk confidently in them you're a target, n if you can you're a force to be reckoned with.
@@u-neekusername4430 and it’s not just being able to walk in them. It’s about walking & OWNING those damn shoes.
In theory, platforms should be easier because they have less of an incline. The pairs with regular soles are super-easy. I’m steady on the balls of my feet, but the thinner soles are easier to navigate. COBBLESTONE STREETS DONT COUNT!!
Already remember, shoes first, corset last. Corset first, can’t bend to put on shoes. (Nostalgia.)
@@DarkbutNotsinister Ah that's how you do it! LOL Only wore corset once cuz I couldn't bend over. N yeah cobblestones, slatted porches n grass are not your friend, cuz like you said then ur on ur toes.
But I wore 5inch heels as a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding (long un-hemable dress n 2day notice on shoe colour, I TRIED, it worked) n I was the only one who didn't need help getting on n off the transport bus, I literally jumped off....super empowering. You just gotta OWN THEM. 😉
@@u-neekusername4430 I have a collection of heels I keep “on display”. I’m not going to throw out those pieces of art.
@@DarkbutNotsinister The thought of that made me do that thing where you take in quick breath while your eye light up! LOLOL ...N "jealous much?" YES, yes I absolutely am!
While I love to be "one of the boys", I do love me my shoes n bags - sadly I have limited space so I have to get ride of n replace....I will have sweet dreams of your shoe display.
PS also nothing like going skeet shooting w/the boys in platform heels n beating them, sweet victory! Lots of dropped jaws.
I don't see how a person could be convicted of first degree murder with a high heel as the murder weapon. It just doesn't seem like one would premeditate killing someone with a shoe.
Just because the weapon is unconventional doesn't mean she didn't have the thought, "I'm going to kill this bastard". That's 1st degree, premeditated
@@HighNoone You don't understand the difference between first degree and second degree murder .Using a shoe as a weapon would indicate that it was done in the heat of the moment, which would be indicative of second degree murder. Now, if she planned it out to bring a shoe with her to use as a weapon to kill him that would be first degree murder, but I truly doubt that was the case. Being a drinker with regular fights the jury will see that it was a case of her killing him in the passion of the moment and she'll be convicted of second degree murder.
Thank you for your take on this horrible case, Dr. Grande! RIP Stefan.
Excellent analysis, Dr. Grande! ❤️
Ugh! Brutal 👠
Thank you for the analysis Dr. Grande
4:21 is the reason I damn love Doctor Grande! I laugh out loud so hard my ribs felt that heel.
Excellent analysis and opinions as per usual, Doc. It's always enjoyable to hear you speculating about what could be happening in a situation _like_ this. 🍻
You know, I didn't want to go there with the 'Alf' thing. I told myself, "You're an adult. You can control your thoughts." But no - and with a picture, even. One of us should be embarrassed. You guess which one. 😄 On a serious note - one of my mother 's college roommate lived in our same town and would visit often. At the time she was deep in her alcoholism (she eventually got sober). It was terrible to see a woman, a mother, act like that, sometimes having to be physically controlled. I had a few drinks in college, but once I became a mom, that was it, and that was decades ago. Was I traumatized? Maybe. I can admit that. I'm not against other people drinking responsibly; I'd just rather not deal with it.
Alcohol is an evil poison. My mother didn't fare as well a your mother's friend.
Anna was a true Heel
Oh yes she was😁👍
Your video was just what I was lookig for because it complemented the "channel " version of this crime.
Dr. Grande murders me with his "funny" heel jokes 😂
It's possible, perhaps, that the Doc is tired, or has a cold. Usually you can see him in the comments, acknowledging various comments that he likes, etc. In fact, this is one of the things I've always liked about the guy: he actually reads the comments! He's soft-spoken, appears to have no ego, has a subtle but sometimes brilliant sense of humor, and he always seems to know what he's talking about. He knows a lot about handguns, for example. When I was a musician, I found out that my recording engineer had a Beretta 92, probably chambered in 9 millimeter, and it was, basically, a hobby for this guy. He'd go to the local firing range once in a while, and do his thing. It would be almost a decade later when I found out for myself that, as a hobby, it can be pretty damn fun. I went with Beretta too, and all I can say is this: those wacky Italians make one hell of a pistol. I put 700 rounds through it, and it only jammed once.
I've totally forgotten what I was originally going to say. Oh well, there's always tomorrow (if my liver doesn't give out). Bye for now.
My husband often says "No good deed goes unpunished". Stephan's punishment was too extreme, however.
❤ Dr G and his deadpan wit!
I love your commentary...and, when you throw a not so subtle jab at someone. It makes my day.. palm trees 🌴🌴🌴 are in full bloom. The shade.. keep it up 🥰
Say what you want about what this lady did, but the craftsmanship of those shoes is to die for.
Hey Dr Todd Grande could you analyze the case of Adventures with Purpose case with Jared Leisek?
Your jokes always make me laugh 😂😂😂
The Alf bit KILLED.
Doc, fantastic video as always. Can you do a video on Adam Hecht. I think you’ll find it interesting.
Most women would benefit from a two-week cool-down period for new shoes.
A life-saving offer. Quite SOBERING to think about
she's dangerous and should never be released from prison. I saw an interview with her a few years ago and she has zero remorse for what she did. may she rot in hell
The "deployment of homicidal footware" love it.
Poor guy... he was vulnerable and the girl was CRAZY. What a violent attack 😵😔
Great one as always Dr. Grande, full of your very appreciated jokes. Patiently waiting for your review/analysis of the conclusion of Better Call Saul 😏
Size 9 shoes??? Blimey big old plates for a lady. Big plates big shoes - a serious weapon no doubt!!!!!
I remember this case.
Lots of hype about using her shoe.
I always thought she did it on purpose.
Size 9
Always interesting.
Thank you
Peace 💕🇺🇲
The last bit of analysis contradicts the assertion that the murderer deserved 22 years (crime of passion). The perp appears to be ruthless, and deliberately attacked and killed a victim who did not fight back. A male murderer, with a similar aggressive history, who killed his female partner with his fists and anything to hand would deserve an equally long sentence.
Love your videos..And your voice..thank you..
Some alcoholics become violent when they get drunk. They are “angry drunks” other people just get quiet and mellow.
The last name ‘Trujillo’ is pronounced *’True•Heel•Yo’*
Oh my! It fits to the story.
If the shoe fits…
@@zebralove2840 Exactly. The j is pronounced like h and the double l is pronounced as y.
