    Will Delphi Convicted Richard Allen Ever Find Peace Amid Questionable Verdict?

    What happens when a case leaves more questions than answers? Richard Allen, once a seemingly average man, spiraled into behavior so bizarre—running headfirst into walls, eating feces, and even devouring pages of the Bible—it’s impossible to see him as the same person. But is there hope for recovery, or is the damage irreversible? And then, there’s the system itself. With Judge Francis Gull's controversial decisions, accusations of bad police work, and whispers of a community desperate for someone to blame, the trial feels anything but straightforward. How many other defendants have faced a similarly stacked deck, and what does this say about justice? Even with a verdict, does the family of Libby and Abby truly have closure, or is that just a myth sold to outsiders? As whispers of injustice grow louder, one has to wonder: Are we seeing the whole truth?   #TrueCrime #RichardAllen #LibbyAndAbby #JusticeSystem #PsychologicalImpact #CourtControversy #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    A Psychological Look Back At The Idaho Murders Two Years Later

    Was Bryan Kohberger’s defense strategy always about buying time and hoping the world would forget the sting of the Moscow, Idaho tragedy? Two years have passed since Kohberger’s white Hyundai Elantra was spotted outside the victims’ house, and it feels like the trial’s been perpetually “a year away.” Why has this case, with a gag order limiting new revelations, dragged on so long? Could it be a tactic to soften the impact of the brutal crime for potential jurors? Bryan Kohberger continues to maintain his innocence, even offering bizarre statements about driving around to look at stars. Creepy? Maybe. Convincing? Hardly. His eerie demeanor, paired with his supposed nighttime “stargazing,” only deepens the discomfort many feel toward him. Is there hope for his defense to strip away this “creepy” aura, or is he doomed to come across as unsettling no matter what? And then there’s the bizarre fanbase—a handful of people who, against common sense, rally to his side. Women who’ve never met him profess his innocence, desperately trying to connect with him through letters and online support. What draws people, especially women, to form infatuations with alleged criminals? Is it a quest for attention, a longing to feel significant, or a dangerous psychological pattern? What does this fascination reveal about our society, and why does it keep happening? Is there any way to truly understand these obsessions, or are we destined to watch these twisted relationships play out time and again? #TrueCrime #BryanKohberger #MoscowMurders #PsychologyOfCrime #CreepyDefense #AllegedCriminal #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    Why Did Delphi Richard Allen Jury Think He Was 'Faking' Psychosis?

    Why do we still struggle to differentiate between genuine mental illness and strategic manipulation in the criminal justice system? Allegedly, in Richard Allen’s case, the lines between the two seemed deliberately blurred. Experts took the stand to argue over Allen’s competency, with the prosecution painting a picture of someone faking symptoms. But what about the extremes Allen went to, like self-injury or the infamous incident involving feces? Is it really that easy to fake such disturbing behavior? Our guest, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, dives into the challenges professionals face in identifying the truly ill. We also explore how the justice system's limited understanding of mental health impacts not just this case, but countless others. From prison psychologists who might be in over their heads to systemic failures that allow mental health to be overlooked, the question remains: How many lives suffer because we can’t—or won’t—get it right? And will we ever change, or are we too stuck in old beliefs to see the truth? #TrueCrime #MentalHealth #RichardAllen #CriminalJustice #Psychosis #FakingIllness #SystemicFailure Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    A Psychological Break Down Of Richard Allen's Delphi Murder Trial With Shavaun Scott

    Was Richard Allen truly in control of his actions, or was he lost in a storm of psychosis that led to a verdict based on incomplete understanding? In this episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott unravel the complexities of the Delphi murder trial and the baffling state of mental health awareness in our criminal justice system. Imagine basing a conviction on a man who was eating a Bible and banging his head against a wall, all while confessing to horrific crimes. But how reliable is a confession from someone whose grip on reality is entirely broken? Shavaun Scott points out the glaring misunderstandings and biases at play, even among so-called experts. What does it mean when the system’s “best and brightest” can’t tell real psychosis from malingering? And with experts clashing on whether Richard Allen was competent or not, is it a case of justice or a deeply flawed understanding of mental illness? How do we reconcile a system that prioritizes preconceived notions over actual investigation? #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #MentalHealth #Psychosis #CriminalJustice #ForensicPsychology Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
