Crime Beat: Stolen second chances - the Jessica Newman story | S2 E8

[@TruecrimeWithAlicia]

75 Stab wounds is a very Personal attack! This dude is evil

[@LMCEK]

And consider that he was determined by our Canadian courts to be the primary parent and was awarded full custody prior to this. Very sad and shows again how mistakes are made by authorities every day.

[@charliez4837]

2nd degree murder for stabbing her 75 times? How is he eligible for parole? Did I miss something. Wrong

[@Dexter037S4]

Canadian Law limits terms to 25 for parole, he won't get it, and the degrees are based on if there was premeditation or not, this wasn't planned in advance, thus 2nd degree.

[@aleahpennell1713]

He took her from her baby's life he was upset about the 50 50 custody well now they both have to miss out on their little boy for no reason

[@molliwilson5639]

Why are Canadian courts so lenient in these heinous crimes? Totally baffling to me..

[@JorgePetraglia2009]

This monster stabs the mother of their child 75 times and will get parole by the time he is fifty? I would have suggested a year of prison for stab. It is worrisome to know that this man, will be walking around and maybe get a decent job thanks to an education paid by our taxes. From Toronto my condolences to Jessica's family.

[@michaelairton3723]

He can apply before he's 50. No guarantee that he receives it.

[@GenXfrom75]

I don't get how they call it "life" but you can be paroled in 17 years? For most people, that's NOT LIFE.

[@avalonpark1574]

Why did the boss not contact people to see where she was in the last two days. The employer is usually the first person to notify people that a person is missing.

[@Sassy2025]

Why is Canada easy on these life sentences. A life sentence is life without parole especially stabbing someone over 70 times.

[@melissagray8138]

I’m so glad you guys post these on KZbin I don’t know if they’re on television here in the US I’ve never been able to find it. This guy was a real piece of work! He kills the mother of his son in a brutal horrifying way and then tries to throw his own mother under the bus? Absolutely horrible!!!

[@miligutierrez9973]

Why are men some fathers so hateful towards the mother of their children

[@-KMA-]

The real author of those letters is the ex clearly, c’mon. He already said she was an alcoholic and got the kid taken away so why wouldn’t he accuse someone else of her murder to clear his name? Plus the 75 stab wounds indicates this person had something personal/hatered.

[@SophiaMuusa]

When they say they want to meet up with you when you have a court appearance the following day don't do it. It's a trap.

[@BGivka]

Sophior Muusa Ditto. Exactly when I thought . Sounds fishy

[@BS-dq1kz]

Exactly! Don’t do it!

[@merncat3384]

EVERY time!!

[@jennifermaddy2442]

Very often it is

[@juanitarichards1074]

If Jessica's murder was intended, how could that not be classed at first degree murder?

[@jenniferroya3606]

Poor Jessica.... this is so sad. How hard is life for a single mum. Ryan seemed nice,,,,a kindred spirit.

[@Geronimo2Fly]

What an utter shame she didn't meet Ryan before Kevin. Ryan seems like a really nice guy.

[@jaylenebaker5761]

I knew Kevin growing up. It breaks my heart that he did this. I hope he's kept in jail as long as possible

[@sureiamboo]

She had three kids ? I thought only one . Rest in paradise Jessica! The mother is soo soft spoken. I wish her all the peace in her life with Jessicas kids!

[@jennifermaddy2442]

Oh I thought only 1 as well

[@jessicalynnkinsleyfaith]

Second degree murder for this is bogus! That’s no justice. He should of got life in prison with no parole. He stabbed her so many times. It’s sickening knowing he will get a chance to be a free man again and she will never get her life back. Those poor babies lives were ruined too. Bullshit

[@PattyDalton1965]

RIP Jessica, God Bless the 3 children and the whole family - He needs to rot in jail

[@crsh2007]

Hmm...woman disappears the day before an important court date to get shared custody of her son...I wonder who could have done it...🤔 And I’m no lawyer, but how does “intended to kill” NOT mean the same as “planned/premeditated” 🤔🤔🤔 FFS!

[@elisabeteoliveira5808]

"intended to kill" might be that he wanted her dead but it wasn't planned, could be an argument that escalated and he wanted her to die, not something he had carefully planned? 🤔

[@jennifermaddy2442]

Yes I don't get it

[@FishesAndLoaves997]

Her mother has such a calm nature and soft voice. Condolences to her and the family. 🌻😔

[@janetsmith-velazquez3722]

75 stab wounds is total overkill. This was extremely personal.

[@BGivka]

The impact on the kids’ lives will be massive.. hope they get the support they will need. RIP

[@nj8215]

What a bunch of crap. This makes me soo mad. So the father just makes up a lie about her being a drunk and they just immediately take her son a away. Wow. What about investigating and waiting for proof before turning her world and the little boys life upside down.

[@jennifermaddy2442]

I know why wouldnt they have investigated accusations like that before taking her child away

[@patriciakelly69]

Life should mean life. That was an horrific murder. That young mum had everything to live for. So very sad 😢. X

[@audreyrose_1979]

that friend who gave jessica a place to stay even if its a basement is God sent for real regardless if he was crushing on her... she is a decent girl for not having involved with that man...

[@Skye08Star]

I think it’s a crap job to call the family and say “there’s another body I’ll call back later if it’s her”. Why do that? Contact family after you find her and identify. But calling the mom “we found another body”, is cruel each and every time.

[@lunagoodhart5489]

I think that's better than finding out from media or on the TV.

[@venessalong6683]

I get what you are saying, but they are going to hear about it in the news so better come from someone invested in the case. Just my opinion.

[@halloweenjujube]

I agree it’s awful to have to do this to the family, but I think it’s an attempt to keep them in the loop, and be sure that they’re finding out first, in case it does turn out to be her, before it’s being reported on the news, etc. Identification can take a little while, and the news will often report on stories like this before the body has been ID’d. I can’t imagine the agony of waiting to hear if it’s your loved one, but at least you know before the public does that it could be a possibility.

[@lisacundiff8029]

I believe they do that in case the mother was to see it on the news..

[@BS-dq1kz]

I’ve watched way too many murder mystery shows and I think the reason they do this is because when a body is found and it’s in a public place(like off a road in a ditch as in this case), the news often hears of it and begins reporting on it. Then, you have friends, family or just acquaintances rushing to tell the victims parents and it’s shocking to them. I’ve seen quite a few instances where this is what happens. So, I feel like the detectives simply believe they should be the ones to notify and let the close relatives know firsthand before they find out online or by a neighbor, etc...

[@lalalol1215]

This detective is meticulous. I wish al detectives were like him.

[@itsamandaabb]

Heartbreaking, I feel for her babies. Such a tragedy:(

[@lostinnevermore5354]

She had beautiful eyes like her mother. Sincere condolences to the family.

[@MBadger24]

Awww I feel so sad for the mother having to imagine how her daughter died!! So sad

[@54601nina]

He's an idiot who lost everything in the end. He just couldn't let her have any parts in her son's life. Greedy F. Watch who you have children with. He wanted to hurt her and have control. Rip lil jessica.

[@urmelausdemeis4743]

I knew it right from the beginning that he had done it.... He should never come out of jail again!!!! RIP Jessica 💕

[@bonniemagpie5166]

Honestly, if he had a knife on him, you can bet he had some premeditated thoughts about using it.

[@TomLloyd-18]

@15:25 . . . "every time some body would be found I would get a call . . . " . . . this is within an 8 wk period . . . . how the hell many murders were going on in this place?

[@skyrimbarbie5253]

Ryan seems like he’s not doing very well.

[@janicescott7338]

I hope Ryan gets some help and goes forward. He.cannot beat himself up forever over something he had nothing to do with. He is such a nice looking young man and so personable. Know your self worth Ryan!

[@sdannecker6944]

Seventy five effing times? Wow, what a big man. Your child must be so proud of you, Kev.

[@acgillespie]

*Any Victim looking to a Judicial System for any kind of Justice will be miserably disappointed*

[@shadygirlxoxo]

Wait, they said Kevin “intended” to kill Jessica, but he didn’t “plan or premeditate” her murder... what does that even mean??? Makes no sense to me!

[@firenze5555]

They meant that he did not plan or premeditate the murder in advance but when he lost it and attacked her, he meant to kill her at that moment because he stabbed her 75 times.

[@oliviamasciandaro8806]

Spontaneous but intentional murder

[@asil7528]

I’m assuming it’s kinda like he didn’t plan for weeks or days to kill her but once they got into an argument. In a split second he snapped and intended to kill her right then and there kind of thing.

[@sharklark40]

Thank you for this broadcast. It was done with respect and softness. My heart goes out to everyone she knew

[@johannadayy4770]

Gee..let me think.. is getting 50/50 custody the next day... Her x askd to have coffee the night before..DOESNT TAKE A DETECTIVE TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT.

[@mayani777]

How can you "intend" to kill someone without it being planned or premeditated?!!!!! 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@yvi7172]

Three boys left without there mother. A mother lost her only daughter. And Jessica brothers left without there only sister. This is a really sad and tragic story. Jessica RIP..

[@sd560]

What's wrong with 50-50 custody that drove him to kill her???!!!! Probably, jealousy... Ryan is a better man and would be father to Jessica's kids than Kevin could ever be. How sad! RIP Jessica 😔😔

[@kevinbernard9791]

Really bad investigation 🔎 they should've took his phone from him straight away and the van should've been stripped the first time ...really slow detective work

This relationship was toxic from the very beginning,and even though they broke up, neither one could let go completely of the relationship and sadly it ended tragically.

[@murdermysterieswithmegan141]

Ok so personally when someone takes a life and shows no remorse they should get longer than 17 years and then possibly parole? He took a life but still could potentially get half of his life in the world?! Ugh!

Why only 2nd degree murder? He had a knife, it sounds premeditated

[@loridavidow2014]

Love this show but Canada has the worst justice system if this was the United States these monsters would pay with their life or never be set free

[@beauangele3033]

Tell me about it... my 17 year old cousin was murdered, and the pos only got 5 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@9babyblu]

Unfortunately, we have a lot of bleeding hearts that believe we can rehabilitate pretty much anyone. There are very few types of murderer's that I agree 'could' be rehabilitated. Not the majority, AT ALL!

[@moom4407]

UK judicial system is disgusting. Pedros are protected and minimal offenders are easily convicted.

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

not for second degree murder. also, whilst Canada's justice system does seem to be overly lenient, the fact they don't have the death sentence is entirely correct. no civilised country has the death sentence.

[@NotoriousVC]

Canada has less crime than the US so it must be working. Punishment is supposed to a a deterrent, it's not for blood lust and not to appease housewives who get their jollies by watching people get excessive punishment.

[@guineverekiwi550]

love the way this show tries to pretend it could of been anyone else while the audience has long decided who is guilty.

[@SHurd-rc2go]

Since this is the crucial period, i.e. before the custody battle; before the victim of domestic violence says she's leaving; before going to the divorce lawyer, you can bet they had their eyes on the boyfriend. But have to prove it; have to eliminate all other possible suspects for the all important court case.

[@elevatedemotions4548]

I actually thought it was the older guy/friend with the belly

[@Howiesgirl]

Absolutely. No one else had a reasonable motive other than the ass that killed her. And I don't really believe that she was getting together with him because she was still hot for him. I think she was still hooking up with him just to pacify him so he'd agree to the 50/50 custody deal in the upcoming court hearing. Sad story, that's for sure. And 3 little guys left with no mama. Heartbreaking.💔

✨ Why didn't Jessica's Lawyer, or family, warn her to stay away from the father of her baby, before the Custody Court Case.? Clearly the ex's relationship was problematic (with him legally accusing her of being a drunk, so an unfit parent), so therefore risky to see him alone the night before court. ✨

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

Why do killers even get the chance for parole yet someone arrested for having pot on them gets life with no parole.

[@cathbooth1980]

I’ll never get my head around the sentencing given out for murder...17 years for stabbing the mother of his child 75 times? That’s crazy. He’ll be out when he’s 50, free to rebuild his life. Jessica’s mum seems like such a lovely woman 💔

[@TruecrimeWithAlicia]

Father's deal with this daily in NC. Courts automatic take mother's side n get full custody while father's lose rights. And have to pay child support without any custody rights/visits. In NC you don't get visits with your kids jus because U pay child support. U have to also file custody to see them. And pray a judge will give u visits. Courts really mess up a lot of families. It's sad.

[@ohthehorror6402]

I’m very confused. They talk about her roommate stating that she had a big dog that she needed to come home to take care of and didn’t. I’m assuming the roommate took care of the dog, but not one word on where her first and second sons were. Just that she was excited to get 50-50 custody of the third son. Where were her children?

[@deliasanchez3863]

why Jessica's mother did not take her to her house with the children?

[@prhanson]

Probably because Jessica's mother had been taking care of her children since she was 16 yrs old and had her first baby. By the sounds of things she may have had the other two children at the time, certainly Jessica didn't have them while couch surfing...
