Congrats on the 400k, you deserve that and more! Honestly, I love listening to you narrate, you could read from a tax filing document and I would be sitting here listening at my desk, nodding "yes, yes" and mumbling "Tax exemptions....you're right...don't get too carried away with them....."

I love what you do! My father was an attorney and a judge. (He passed a year ago.) We used to find all kinds of cases, stuff of which nobody's ever heard, or just completely forgotten. And discuss them from all angles. ( Turns out, there's not justice for all ). You're the only source that manages to find the likes and tell these stories. Thanks for doing what you do 🧐

My uncles and grandfather and great grandfather were both judges, one appointed by Theodore Roosevelt to the Oklahoma Territory. I had identical twin cousins that were both judges in Cumberland County, TN. I recall very spirited conversations at the dinner table, as my father was the only Republican in the entire family! 😁🙄

First want to congratulate you on reaching 400k subs, you deserve everyone of them. And thank you for this amazing gift of over one hour of your 5 cases you researched and delivered to us, each was an amazing tale in itself, Not many channels make it as big and/or popular as your channel is but the brilliant and thorough research and your clear and precise narration makes each and every case you describe simply fascinating to hear and follow. If this was a tv show, you would win Emmy Award after Emmy Award for the work you do. Thank you again.

[@BriefCaseOfficial]

Not sure I would ever get an award but thanks for your support:)

[@alisonancell6047]

400K Very well deserved👏👏👏👏As always extremely well researched and narrated. You always treat each case with respect which is one of the things I love about your channel. The people who lost their lives either from murder or injustice are remembered through you. The social history aspect is something I really enjoy, but oh how easily a murderer could escape punishment and an innocent be condemned to hang. In todays world thank god for the development of forensic science.

Thank you too Sean

[@londonsage8696]

Wow, I have to say you outdid yourself with five stories, and I was intrigued by each one. Every story had to do with jealousy., greed, lust, and of course murder. as usual the biggest one is society looking down upon you in a certain situation which as I said before was pretty sad because of different times and I believe it was even like that during the 1950s and possibly the 1960s. Sometimes when I listen to your videos, I close my eyes and try to think what it would be like to live during that time and I’m so happy that I never did. no amount of money can even buy you character or morality and I think with someone being poor being able to work in a household that has the finer things that one has never seen makes them a little vulnerable when they get the attention of a rich husband. Whether any of the people had money or not the ones that died that was the saddest part of all. Thank you so much for the five incredible stories and I hope you have a great week.. Bless🙏🏽

[@StacyL.]

Congratulations on 400k subscribers!! I only had time to hear one of the cases, Louisa Collins, and I'm befuddled as to how she wasn't acquitted after 3 hung juries. It sounds like a 19th century witch hunt to me. I'm not saying she was innocent, I'm saying the evidence didn't prove her guilt. Love this channel!! I'll listen to the rest of them later! Cheers!

[@marciabradley7660]

By the end of that story I was thinking that Louisa would have welcomed her death. Putting the poor woman out of her misery. The life offered to women was torture.

[@kina18]

Arsenic was in so many common items back then, even the wall paper. Makes one wonder how many innocent people were convicted. Although the woman in question in this story seems highly sus, I don't believe they had a solid enough case against her beyond reasonable doubt.

[@Christcrusader98]

She cheated on her husband then he “mysteriously” died n she married her affair… she 100% had a hand in her first husbands death even if she didn’t the second 😊
