    A conversation with Randy Garnder, brother of executed prisoner Ronnie Gardner: Live Feed

    Please note that the live was done on a cell phone, due to Randy being unable to access a laptop/tablet. Ronnie Lee Gardner was a convicted murderer from Utah whose violent criminal history and dramatic courtroom escape attempt made him one of the state’s most infamous prisoners. Born in 1961, Gardner endured a troubled childhood marked by abuse, neglect, and frequent run-ins with the law. By his early twenties, he was already incarcerated for violent crimes. In 1985, while being transported to court for a hearing on a murder charge, Gardner attempted to escape and fatally shot attorney Michael Burdell inside the courthouse.  The incident led to his conviction for capital murder and a death sentence.Gardner spent 25 years on Utah’s death row, during which he became a controversial figure in debates over the death penalty. Known for his defiant attitude early in his incarceration, he later expressed remorse for his actions and pursued education and spiritual growth while imprisoned. His 2010 execution by firing squad — the first in Utah in 14 years — drew widespread attention and reignited discussions about humane methods of execution and the purpose of capital punishment in modern America. Randy Gardner, Ronnie’s brother, became an outspoken opponent of the death penalty after witnessing his brother’s execution. Deeply affected by the loss and the trauma of the event, Randy turned his grief into advocacy, speaking publicly about the emotional toll capital punishment inflicts on families of both victims and offenders. He has since worked with human rights and anti-death-penalty organizations, sharing his story to highlight the human cost of executions and the cycle of violence they perpetuate. His activism has made him a well-known voice in the movement to abolish the death penalty in the United States.

    A conversation with 'the selfie killer' Amanda Taylor (2022)

    In April 2015, Amanda Taylor, a 24-year-old woman from Virginia, committed a shocking and highly publicized murder that would earn her the nickname “The Selfie Killer.” Still grieving the suicide of her husband, Rex Taylor, Amanda blamed his father, Charles Taylor, for his death. On April 4, she and her friend Sean Ball went to Charles’s home in Montgomery County under the pretense of a visit. Once inside, Amanda brutally stabbed Charles more than 30 times with a knife, while Ball helped restrain him, killing him in cold blood. After the murder, Amanda displayed a chilling lack of remorse. She posted photos on Instagram holding the bloody knife and wrote captions bragging about the killing, describing it as “revenge.” The pair then stole Charles’s car and fled Virginia, sparking a multi-state manhunt. During their flight, Ball attempted suicide, and the two were eventually captured in North Carolina. Authorities later revealed that Amanda had discussed her plans for revenge before the killing, suggesting the act was premeditated and fueled by obsession and grief. Amanda Taylor was charged with first-degree murder and grand larceny, and in 2016 she pleaded guilty. The judge sentenced her to life in prison without parole, calling the crime “cold and calculated.” Sean Ball, who cooperated with investigators, received 41 years in prison. The case gained national media attention due to Amanda’s disturbing social media posts and emotionless demeanor, symbolizing the dark intersection of grief, revenge, and the performative nature of online notoriety. https://linktr.ee/Unforbiddentruth Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

  3. Jailhouse interview with convicted double murderer Luis Bracamontes (2023)

    Jailhouse interview with convicted double murderer Luis Bracamontes (2023)

    Luis Bracamontes, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, was convicted of murdering two sheriff’s deputies in Sacramento, California, in 2014. Bracamontes, who had previously been deported multiple times, carried out a violent shooting spree that left Deputy Danny Oliver and Detective Michael Davis Jr. dead. During his 2018 trial, he showed no remorse, even boasting about the killings and threatening to kill more officers in the future. His violent past and repeated illegal reentries into the United States drew widespread national attention. In 2018, a jury found Bracamontes guilty of murder, attempted murder, and other charges. He was sentenced to death in March 2018 after a highly publicized trial in which his outbursts—including laughter and taunts—shocked the courtroom. His wife, Janelle Monroy, who was accused of aiding him during the crime spree, was sentenced to nearly 50 years in prison. Prosecutors highlighted Bracamontes’s repeated illegal entries as well as his history of criminal activity to show the severity of the case. President Donald Trump seized on Bracamontes’s crimes during his push for stricter immigration policies. Trump repeatedly cited Bracamontes as an example of the dangers of “open borders” and featured him in a controversial 2018 campaign ad ahead of the midterm elections. The ad, which portrayed Bracamontes as representative of undocumented immigrants broadly, was widely criticized as misleading and racist, but it underscored how his case became a flashpoint in the national debate over immigration enforcement and border security. https://linktr.ee/Unforbiddentruth Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.
