    Wisconsin Woman Receives 22-Year Sentence for Fatal Stabbing of Fiancé- He Fell On the Knife Defense Didn't Work

    Wisconsin Woman Receives 22-Year Sentence for Fatal Stabbing of Fiancé- He Fell On the Knife Defense Didn't Work

    A woman from New Richmond, Wisconsin, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for the fatal stabbing of her fiancé, Shaun Lewis, in their home. Marian Smith, 55, received her sentence on Tuesday in St. Croix Circuit Court after pleading guilty to charges of first-degree intentional homicide and resisting or obstructing police.

    The incident, which occurred 1½ years ago on August 27, 2022, shook the small community. According to court documents, Smith had called 911 from their residence in the 600 block of N. 2nd Street, prompting police and emergency medical personnel to respond.

    Upon arrival, officers found Lewis on the floor with multiple wounds. Despite efforts to save him, Lewis succumbed to his injuries at the scene. An autopsy conducted by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office determined that Lewis died from a stab wound to his abdomen, with an additional less serious wound to his chest.

    During the investigation, Smith provided law enforcement with various accounts of what transpired that fateful morning. Among her statements was the claim that Lewis had fallen on a knife during an argument between them, leading to his fatal injuries.

    Despite her explanations, the evidence presented in court, including the autopsy report, supported the conclusion that Smith was responsible for Lewis's death. As a result, she ultimately pleaded guilty to the charges brought against her.

    Smith's sentencing includes credit for the time she has already served in jail since her arrest. This means she is expected to spend approximately the first 1½ years of her term behind bars, with the remainder on extended release.

    The tragic outcome of this case serves as a reminder of the consequences of domestic disputes escalating to violence. Law enforcement officials urge individuals facing conflicts within their relationships to seek assistance and support to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.

    The Trial of Chad Daybell Day 15 Part 1

    The Trial of Chad Daybell Day 15 Part 1

    In the continuous coverage of the Chad Daybell trial, both "The Hidden Killers Podcast" and "True Crime Today" delve into the significant aspects and developments of the case, bringing to light the allegations and evidence that have captivated true crime audiences. The case involves Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow Daybell, who are accused of a series of grave crimes, including murder, conspiracy, and grand theft, related to the deaths of Lori's two children, JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan, and Chad's previous wife, Tammy Daybell.

     Key points highlighted in their coverage would likely examine the intricate web of beliefs held by the Daybells, including apocalyptic visions and claims of dealing with "zombies" or dark spirits, which prosecutors argue motivated the alleged crimes. The trial has unveiled a complex narrative featuring evidence ranging from suspicious deaths followed by quick remarriages to the discovery of the children's remains in Chad Daybell's property. This evidence is crucial to understanding the prosecution's case, which posits that the Daybell’s extreme beliefs led them to commit these acts to fulfill their doomsday prophesies.
     
     Moreover, the coverage would touch upon the legal proceedings, including the charges against the couple, the defense's counterarguments, and the emotional testimonies from friends and family members. These elements combine to provide a comprehensive view of a case that is as perplexing as it is tragic, shedding light on the actions and motivations of Chad and Lori Daybell amidst a tale of manipulation, religion, and murder.

Some okay content, I enjoy the full trials. The adds make me laugh out loud as they play the same thing 20 times in a row.

Albie15 ,

Appreciate some aspects other parts I don’t.

What I appreciate about this podcast is publishing full trial days and editing out the inessential parts. And some of the experts that come on have an interesting perspective.
The episodes I can’t listen to are the ones with pontificating by the host and his co-host. I wish they just reported the facts and didn’t editorialize so much. Also, have some compassion. Negative reporting on a lawyer just trying do his job is unnecessary.

I enjoy hearing about he Karen Read cas.e, however, NOT a word on the Karen. Read from Jennifer Coffindaffer. There is a HUGE bias, coming from Jen Confindaffer. This case is definitely all about that “thin blue line” within police. The fact that I actually worked/responded to actual pedestrian vs car/truck/semi-truck/ trains fatales, there are absolutely important missing injuries on John O’Keefs body, such as the absolute most important being what is called the “bumper strike”. If you took the time to just listen, you do not have to read the legal documents as so many people have gotten these documents and read them., then you would know that prosecutors in the Karen Read case is up to extremely shady stuff, in regards to the parallel federal investigation that has come out of the handling of the Karen Read case. When the prosecutors is literally pulling every dirty trick he can, plus fully aware that what he is asking for in some of the legal findings is absolutely never going to given to the prosecutors because they are grand jury. People need to watch this case, there is so much more than just this 1-case on police corruption.
