Tomorrow, we’ll wake up and Grande will have reached a million. Much deserved. Thank you for all the entertaining and informative videos. It’s an amazing body of work, and truly meaningful.
Will the cat celebrate by driving in circles?🐈🐱
Dr. Grande is the best! I’ve been waiting for that million! Can’t wait to see how he celebrates ☺️
I've been waiting as well! Well deserved!
Yesssss!!!!! 🌵
I said it, i knew it..🎊👏🏾👏🏾 it's coming
The courts failed to convict him, but the coffee table administered the death penalty.
judge, jury, and executioner
🤣 brill.
Coffee table knows 👀
Interestingly.
The double jeopardy rule was scrapped in the UK a few years ago.
This was because a young man who was acquitted of murdering his ex after getting NOT GUILTY went round bragging that he had done it.
He was charged again and got GUILTY
The US is on the low end of the learning curve! Fat chance they'll ever do that!
@@LifesPeachy321 double jeopardy is a GOOD thing, it protects citizens from malicious prosecution
@@katesicle Yeah, I know : ) I can see both sides of the coin. You want it one way or the other depending on the circumstances!
Like the Emmitt Till case in USA. Suspects were wrongfully acquitted & later admitted to beating the 14 year old black boy to death beyond recognition in 1955.
Without double jeopardy it wouldnt matter how innocent you were. You could have been on another planet, it wouldnt matter. They would have an infinite number of opportunities to prosecute you. Just try a different strategy each time until one sticks. Its better to let 100 guilty men walk free then to find one innocent man guilty.
This case has always infuriated me beyond belief.
Agreed. Absolutely horrifying and disgusting.
Divine Justice will have to suffice. Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord. Yet, also, Repentance is available for everyone.
Blaming double jeopardy in _this case_ is missing the point. This should have been an easy prosecution for police. They hadn't even searched the suspect's home properly, and they gave a deal to a witness that actually _weakened_ her testimony. The investigators fumbled this easy slam dunk. So yeah, frustrating but not for the reasons that most people seem to focus on.
@@scottricci5063 If there was any "divine justice" in the world, things like this wouldn't happen in the first place. And if _anyone_ can be forgiven and go to heaven, then I don't want anything to do with such a place. I don't want to be in a heaven where perverts, child murderers and genocidal maniacs are welcome, just because they went through some stupid ritual.
@@aarondavis8943 your choice, although you will still bow. Anyone can enter, but the most you described won't, bcuz their narcissism won't let them. Plus, it's far more than a little ritual. You actually have to believe.
‘ The neighbors were probably confused why he was yelling for Jesus when it would be more consistent with his behavior to ask Satan for help… ‘. 😂
Repentance truly is for everyone!
He claimed he was born-again in prison. Doesn't everybody?
WELL, HE DIDN'T GET THE CHAIR- BUT HE DID GET THE COFFEE TABLE!
Dr. G! You have developed such an excellent niche in the last couple of years combining True Crime with Psychology. It is really a masterful combination! You're almost at a million. It might be this week! Wish we could all take you out to dinner!
Or at least a slice of pizza at that local shop around the corner!🍕
He should be taking us out.. I'm poor
Perfect timing! So close to the big one, Dr Grande! I hope you realize how much your viewers appreciate you and look forward to seeing you post each and every day.
One million subs by Valentine’s Day! That’s how many people love you and want to be your valentine! ❤️😉
You are closing in on a million!
Good morning Dr. Grande. I can’t wait for you to hit 1 million. If anyone deserves it, it’s definitely you!
How will you celebrate?
Prosecutor: "How many times did you meet the victim?"
Witness: "Does murdering her count as a meeting? ... Uh --" [witness flees courthouse]
Prosecutor: "The prosecution rests."
Edit: sorry for being a jerk I commented before watching the whole video
"Describe her."
"You mean the one time I met her?"
"Yes."
"It's hard to say, she was all covered with blood, but sh--"
I’ll be making you an embroidered cactus as a congratulatory gift in celebration for the big 1 Mil! Hope you enjoy and that it reaches you ok all the way from remote Western Australia! ☺️ so super happy and proud of the wonderful work you do. From the bottom of my heart as someone who has suffered from a mental illness and hospitalisations and stigma and bullying because of it all since I was 13…. Thank you, Sir. Thank you for all the years of hard work and incredible empathetic reasoning. 🌵🌵🌵
My mom and brother both worked with Melvin. My mom was also a friend Maryann Shore. My mom couldn’t believe that Melvin could be capable of murder. My brother was of the opinion that Melvin was a little odd, but agreed he didn’t think he was capable of murder. He was quite a charmer obviously. It shocked my mother (my brother had passed away by this time) when the evidence came out that he had committed this heinous act to Brenda Sue.
Wow, that judge was right about justice coming later. I'm not saying he secretly moonlights as The Glass Coffee Table Vigilante, but...
🤣🤭🤫😉. We are only speculating😂🤣🙌
🤣🤣👏🏼
If he were that would be a lot of glass coffee tables.
😂😂
The Glads Coffee Table Vigilante? That's a new one for me.
When and if the good doctor (may he never) ever gets sick or obstructed from uploading videos for humankind to educate themselves or ponder about, I believe the youtube algorithm won't allow it and will therefore film, edit and upload videos with him anyway. They have your source code, doc. You will forever live on.
Congrats on the almost 1m. Wonderful.
We are almost there, Dr. Grande! You will reach a million in no time!
Dr Grande is headed for a million subs! A big ‘Thank you!’ to the good doctor for the interesting and insightful content!
Dr. Grande, I want to stay home from work and watch the counter roll over to a million. But you wouldn't want that, so keep up the great work yourself and more power to you! You're a refreshing breath of authenticity in this crazy virtual world.
Just a little bit of trivia. The actor William Holden died in his home after tripping and hitting his head on a coffee table just like Melvin. William Holden was intoxicated and it is terrorized that he wasn’t aware he was bleeding from his head. This was the cause of Mr. Holden’s death.
I think u mean “theorized”, not “terrorized”
@@saskialolita of course I meant to say that! Dog gone auto correct! Thank you for noticing!
Always proofread.
The prosecution should have realized that they didn't have enough evidence on the tape recording to convict Melvin.
They should have charged him with aggravated kidnapping the second time.
Even if it wasn't enough it was certainly enough for a search warrant of the defendant's home. The witness said photographs were taken, they needed to find those photographs in the defendant's home.
If there was a search warrant they didn't look very hard.
Saturday is always better when Dr. Grande uploads! ❤🌵
This is such a frustrating case. You gave some very good examples on how Mary could have been more effective in her questioning. If she would have tapped into his fantasy they would easily have better results.
Unfortunately, I think very few people have a good understanding of personality. In this case, that resulted in an very unfair outcome.
Excellent review as always Dr. Grande, I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am very excited for your 1M milestone, you are soooo close!!✨❤️✨
Rejane - So much excitement contemplating the 100,000,000! What will he talk about to us? It's always so interesting! Can't wait!🎉🍾
@@bthomson Indeed!! It’s really an accomplishment, I am so happy for him. I have been around since he was on his 200k subs so it’s really a privilege to watch his journey.🙂
Oh, wow! I remember Subscribing to this channel and thinking, _"How does Dr. Grande, of ALL creators on CZcams,_ *not have One Million+ Subscribers?"* Well...here you are, Doc. Absolutely deserved.
You're always, ALWAYS entertaining... But more often than not, your content is deeply contemplative, it is always genuine, and most importantly- while being absolutely hilarious and, at times, sharply biting, you yourself are never disrespectful toward the subjects Mental Health, or dismissive of their worth as a human being... Even when it would be SO easy to be, or when they really, REALLY deserve it. Keep killing it, Doc!
One of the best comments EVER!🎖🏆🏅
Did he drop back down? I dont see a milly yet. Love TG for sure
There's a saying: "Karma walkes slowly" and this is the classic case.
Hey Dr. G, look at the Reine murder, murder, murder case on Cape Cod. I had to serve on the jury for the third murder trial....4 weeks. I love your channel. 😎👍
Nice! How was it?
I’m such a big fan watching these analysis videos and look forward every single day, my husband jokingly asked, “Do you have a thing for Dr. G?” I joked back, “No, there’s a Mrs. G and I have a thing for Dr. L” (my husband is a primary care physician, name starts with an L.) But I DO have a thing for these videos which analyze the most curious cases I’ve ever seen. We both enjoy them so much! Especially the humor.
Loyalty is sexy!
I still can't believe he got away with Murder!!
I usually never comment on any channels I watch but I'm so glad I found you Dr. Grande! You are so interesting and love the way you lay out your timeline through the videos!!
I wonder if you comment on channels you don't watch. Would you just pause the video as soon as the page loads and go straight to the comment section?
Sorry, I usually never rarely often make fun of people's grammar misadventures, but I always make exceptions.
@@Alkis05 Ok, you're playing semantics. So let me re-word it, even though what I meant is common sense. Of all the channels I watch, his was the only one I'd comment on. Obviously I'm not going to pick a random video, pause it, and then comment. Hopefully you're tryin to either be funny or sarcastic and aren't seriously asking me that question.
@@roxannespahr2804 I was just braking your balls. I'm kinda disappointed you didn't notice the last sentence:
"[...], but I always make exceptions"
It was a hint.
@@Alkis05 Didn't notice the last sentence, just read it as far as it showed up in my notifications. Also, you spelled braking wrong in the context you used it, just so you know. If you're using brakes, as if braking in your car, then use it the way you spelled it. Breaking my balls, which is a body part I don't even have, is spelled as breaking. Not braking. You forgot to add the letter E.
@@roxannespahr2804 You are right about the 'breaking'. English is not even my first language (😲), but that won't stop me correcting native speakers in their own language while making my own mistakes. I have a complete lack of self awareness.
Why did Melvin solicit Mary's help? Why did Mary agree to help Melvin?
This is sometimes the reasons a DA doesn't prosecute the suspect and it feels like forever to get justice
Almost one million subscribers!
One of the few cases where karma caught up with a murderer. Kinda creepy, but much deserved.
He was suffering plenty in life. Justice was better served by his continued suffering. Karma did him a favour.
Hopefully he is still suffering for what he did to Brenda!
Thank you for another great analysis of this case.
If I were a criminal investigator, I would be greatly interested in “why murderers feel they have to ultimately take the life of another. In some cases, after analysing the murderer, it is clearly obvious why they committed the crime but in others, it must be like entering the mind of an alien.
I would also want to build a picture of the killer's personality.
For me, the murderous mind seems so indifferent from what I believe to be “normal”
I guess the case that interested me most was that of Fred and Rosemary West, it interests me because I can not begin to understand their mind.
For the most part I struggle to understand how murderers can take a life and then carry on with their daily life, especially in the case of Fred & Rose, given that they lived
with their murder victims buried in their house and garden.
Monday, Dr. G! 1 million. Mark my words. Love ya, Dr. G!! 😘
This was good. Reminded me when I was a kid and watched double jeopardy 1999. Appreciate this analysis.
Great movie
Dr Grande, you are the hardware working man on CZcams. I love the content you upload daily. Thank you Dr Grande. Brilliant analysis and topic. . Dr Grande I feel it be soon when you get one million subscribers.
Dr. Grande is about to hit two milestones: 1 million subscribers, and 200 million views.
The best part of hitting a million subs? For me, it’s the small, thin sliver of hope that at least one cop will watch and change. Go Grande. If anyone can do it, you can!
Big cringe energy emitting from that comment lol.
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 huh?
The verdict must have been heartbreaking for Brenda's family. The legal system failed her. Congratulations on nearing 1 million subscribers. Dr. Grande, I'd really like to hear your analysis of Laurie Dann.
I always appreciate your thoughts on the case Dr. Grande. Sometimes I feel like if you had been in charge of bringing the murderer to justice, you would have been able to when others failed.
Good afternoon, Dr. Grande! 🙋🌵🪴🌵🪴 Hope you're enjoying your day! And staying warm!🥶🥶🥶 Thank You! I remember this Case. Hello, everyone! Stay warm! 🌞🌞🌞🥶🥶🥶
Hi Renee! We will be really celebrating soon! Can't wait!👽👾🌵🍾🍻
Hi Brendan. Keep hummin...
Doctor Grande, what an exciting time for your channel! This was an interesting video, I've not heard of the case. Great job^^
Happy to see the Cute , little 🌵 with lights! Love that!☺️☺️☺️
This video must have been shot slightly before some of the others because the top set of lights has come down in some of the shows?
Goodmorning dr. Grande almost there! 1 million subscribers! So deserved! Thank you! ❤️ love from the Netherlands.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times - I’m single for life, no kids, and loving it.
Same 😂😂
Thank you, Dr. Grande. Your climbing subscribers are evidence that people truly appreciate your approach in analysing true crime and the human failings that seek to justify their behavior.
Congrats! Please do your top 3 most viewed videos to celebrate your one million subscribers.
Dr Grande, I’m a fairly new subscriber, and I enjoy your content. The analysis here was informative and in my humble opinion, spot on.
"Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously. The latest fads of culture, the latest sophistries of anarchism will carry us away if we are uneducated:
We shall not know how very old are all new ideas."
G.K. Chesterton
Great analysis & perspective on this case. I read a book about it & saw Melvin in a video saying " I can't speculate" about what happened, after being aquitted. Thank you for the update regarding the deaths of the murderers. Appreciate your insight on all cases, old & new.
Oh my goodness I was just going to say that! I am so happy for Dr. Grande ! His videos are educational, interesting and fun when you get a quick witted comment slid into his stories. Again congratulations Dr.Grande!
Thank you for your good work Dr Grande, your efforts are been rewarded, this has to be one of the best channels in YT. Pushing for that million!!! 💫 🥇
Well done on the pending one million subs Dr. G! Your constant hard work is inspirational.
I worked with a nurse who defended him. He was the nicest guy you could meet according to her. The whole case is disgusting. You only touched on his brutal behavior. He was a monster.
By the way, I'm aware of what you're doing to the coffee cup. You moved her again.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲
Dr. Grande, thank you for the legal beagle giggles today. The , “grand jury testimony trick!” Lol That’s! Grand on the dead pan humor Dr. Grande! Lol 🤔❤️🇺🇸
Really liked this one - very insightful on how his narcissism didn’t shield him when she didn’t want him. I never thought of narcissism being a shield against pain.
Karma sure took care of him.
Thanks, Doc.
I haven’t even watched one minute of this video….but OMG, you are SO CLOSE to that 1 million subscriber mark! That is such an accomplishment and well deserved Dr. Grande!!👏 ….okay, now I can watch the video 🙃
Omg you are so close to 1 million subscribers!!! How exciting! Great video as always Dr. Grande :)
So close to one million subscribers. Looking forward to that very informative thank you video.
Dr. Grande… whether you mean to or not… many of your comments crack me up! I don’t know how you keep a straight face! Don’t ever change!
Wow! Dr. Grande that was very insightful. I had never heard of that case before. Thank you!
Early congratulations, Dr. Grande! Great shirt today by the way! Well deserved 1 million...so awesome!
This is one of the most incredible stories I've heard in a while. Congrats on hitting 1 mil!
What a sad case. Thank you so much for the video 🌿🌵🌿🌵
What an incredibly captivating video you formed, Dr. Grande! The way you put together and convey a whole story is truly a work of art!! ♡♡
Excited to catch you early, it's going to be a good day! Thanks for your thoughts, they are priceless. Especially love the wit and dry humor. Well played Dr Grande🏜️
Mel Ignatow lived one street over behind my house growing up in the 90s in Louisville, KY. We were told to keep away from him without knowing much about why.
Hello Dr. Grande, you presented this case extremely well. And I agree with everything you mentioned about this murder. As always very well done. Thank You for sharing with us. Best Regards.
Ty for your analyst. I read the book "Double Jeopardy" & found it very interesting, but you put the icing on the cake, so to speak, with your angle on the failures with the investigation & prosecution.
I like to think that it was Brenda’s ghost that pushed him into that coffee table, fitting end to know he bled to death like that
A well-deserved honor in reaching now over a million followers. Congratulations!
ThisClose to *one million* !!!! Much deserved!
Congrats on a million! Your videos are very informative and your humour adds to the mix in a very intriguing way. Could you possibly analyze the case of Trevor Phillips from GTA V?
Hi Dr Grande. This is a different topic, as I’m not sure where to put the requests you mention from people. My request is that you analyse, please, the unbelievable case of Katherine Knight, down here in Australia and the murder of John arrive by Katherine,. Also, an alternative one - which has really got to us down here for years - is the case of David and Catherine Birnie. Anyways, thanks for your ongoing work. From Me
I remember one of your subscriber target videos where you talked about being disabled and potentially unable to make money. By this point, you’ve got such a knack for case analysis, I feel we could see you doing some consulting work with detectives in the future.
Happy 1M in the next few days! Hope you have a nice treat for us!!
That was a brilliant analysis. . Thank you Dr Grande. Have my fingers crossed for you to get one million subscribers.
Dr Grande, you are the best thing that ever come across too you tube. I also the content you upload daily, always bring a smile to my face. Thank you Dr Grande Great analysis and topic. I believe you will get to one million subscribers soon.
This case has always bothered me. I learned of it as a kid watching American Justice. I'm so glad you did this. He was a very depraved and sickening individual. Mary was equally guilty because she likely harbored jealousy toward the victim. So infuriating.
An excellent analysis. I remember this case - a truly repulsive slimy disgusting pos. Your succinct review of police incompetence (SOP these days) and perp motivations were totally on point. Really enjoyed this one!
didn't he have a lawyer to tell him not to go near a Grand Jury? that's Criminal Law 101
I know this story well because it was unusual in Louisville at the time.
My hometown. Sickening and devastating
Congrats on one million subscribers!👍🏻💕
Great video as always. But I got tripped up at 0:35. He worked at an import/export company. Did he want to quit importing and focus more on the exporting? What did he import? What did he export? (Seinfeld reference) 😆
Present and Eager to hear another Dr. Grande Analysis. 👌
Wow, it's crazy to watch how fast your channel is growing. Helped undoubtedly by your consistent content output and quality
Always love your analysis, wonderful recaps with follow ups on traits then final.
I like your shirt Dr.Grande!!! I live fairly close to Louisville. Scary how close he would have been to me. Under 3 thousand subscribers to get to one million. I can’t wait for you one million subscribers video.
Another great analysis Dr. Grande! Thank you very much❣
I agree with you, Dr Grande! Mary got off easy, too!
So delighted you have reached such a Brilliant Number. Have not read this particular video yet. But will as soon as I'm well enough. Just had to say well deserved. And I have no doubt you will reach Many Many more. Your Videos should be shown in Secondary School's across the Land. If only to inform and Educate our Young People there are some people they should be careful who they put their Trust In. Thank You Dr. Grande for all Your Great Work. Many Blessings for You And Your Family. Much ❤ Love. Nu. 🇮🇪
This was a really interesting case. I wonder why the state and the police made so many mistakes.
Dr. Grande makes an excellent point when he discusses what Mary could have said to Melvin to inculpate himself on tape. I like the critical thinking stressed in these videos. Very well done!
Can you please make a video about people that talk to themselves ? What is their diagnosis without diagnosing anyone ???
this is one of the most interesting cases you covered in a while, with a v good analysis, more twists than a pretzel; please think of covering Murder Of Helen Bailey !! (a horrible case with some similarity)
He lobbed Boris in for good measure!
I feel very bad for this poor victim. Good God. It would be interesting to see what kinds of police departments resort to using psychics. Just ridiculous.
Hi, Dr. Grande. I have a question. Can you please explain what exactly is a "shadow"? And does a person's "shadow" have anything to do with their mental illness as far as causing or affecting it? Thank you 😊
💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏 Prayers for Brenda
I've never been more excited for a content creator to reach a million subscribers! 😆🎈
Hmm, I wonder if someone should be speculating on the reason for my excitement. This is the first time I've been in a situation like this. 🤔
