Miranda Barbour Case Analysis | Victim to Murderer

[@isabellaleifsdottir]

I’m not diagnosing anyone in this comment, only speculating on what could be happening in a case like this. I keep thinking that he must have the best wife ❤️ I imagine her being included in the production, talking about cases while she brings him coffee. I hope so at least, because otherwise he’ll likely end up single with a workaholic lifestyle... From one workaholic to another I’d like to say that it’s great to enjoy working, but remember to love yourself enough to take time for your own mental and physical health.

hey Dr Grande! not sure if you'll read this, but I gotta topic that's been bugging me and I'm curious what your opinion would be on the matter. What are your views around the ethics of sharing true crime? I've been wondering this especially with the rise of true crime channels on youtube. Some seem very respectful of victims and their families while others seem more exploitative. I'd love to hear your stance on this since you've been talking true crime for so long! Thanks for making content!

@@cht2162 I agree with you - there is no justification for life without parole.

[@nzcamel3]

Well in regard to her sentencing she's not the victim at all. That'd be the guy she killed. Having said that I agree that life without parole is OTT in this case.

[@rejaneoliveira5019]

@@nzcamel3 I think she was both, a victim of what happened to her as a child but also a perpetrator without a doubt. In fact, I think many perpetrators were victims at some point in their lives. That being said, I think she has to pay for the crime committed but life without parole seems excessive.

[@jcjcviews]

I agree. I've had an experience with someone who was sexually abused as a child. I've been surprised by what a devastating thing this is and how such a thing is more common, I believe, than the average person would think. However, I don't know of any reliable statistics about the subject.

[@somexp12]

@@cht2162 Easy. Regardless of what made you that way, you still *are* that way. It’s also not your “fault” if you happen to be born a psychopath, developed dangerous sexual urges, have sadistic impulses, grew up around criminals, or are overcome with unbearable rage. Acting on any of this creates the necessity that society contain the threat and deliver a deterrent to other potential threats. She chose to do what she did on the basis of *wanting* to do it, not a lack of understanding. I would only object to life without parole because I don’t think that should happen for anything. That type of sentence is essentially taking an oath that you’ve found “true evil” which must never be allowed (for metaphysical, not public safety, reasons) to have a productive life. If people can keep the deterrent effect and neutralize the threat without ruining another life, they should go for it every time.

[@elainearchibald9020]

Thanks again Dr. Grande for your analysis on this case. I always thought anyone who was traumatised would be an introvert but the drugs combined with it could have been Miranda's way of dealing with her trauma. I'm not sure what to think about this one. She was willing to cause the trauma to another person, trauma and death! Scary case really. TFS :)

[@sarahrae5893]

"paying for companionship" is something us sex workers who do in/out calls say in case of a sting. Anything else that may happen during the appointment with a client is consensual and not something money is exchanged for. Only the time is what they're paying for. This argument has saved many escorts who have been in stings because they never agreed to sexual services for money. Only the time spent for money. Hopefully this makes sense.

[@kayzbluegenes]

🤷🏻‍♀️ What?

[@AkaiNabi]

@@kayzbluegenes you pay for say, 2 hours with an escort. You can sing karaoke, read books, talk, cry, whatever, you pay with the time to be with her, not to have sex with her, specifically. If sex happens, it's because they both wanted. 🤷‍♀️ It's... A technicality, a gray area.

[@NFournaridis]

It’s similar to how some sex workers will say they charge X amount of dollars per hour for a “massage”. Anything that happens during the “massage” is between two consenting adults. It’s a loophole that allows sex workers to escape being tried for prostitution (exchanging money for sex).

I’ve noticed most murderers choose to buy their supplies at the nearest Walmart, which is how many of them get caught. I’ve watched hundreds of true crime videos and don’t think I’ve heard of a single case where a murderer chose Target as their source for supplies. Wonder why that is… 🤔

He had a terrible upbringing, he was bullied by a boy at school so much he was put in a Coma he has actually come through alot

[@Dallasxy]

I’ve wondered this myself, specifically if he has ADHD which would explain a lot, the emotional sensitivity, emotional immaturity, impulsive behavior, short temper, trouble sleeping (he got addicted to sleeping pills), and poor time management skills/staying consistent (his albums either take 6 months or 4 years to come out) it’s more common for ADHD, not finish school, have depression and anxiety, alcohol or substance misuse, relationship instability with friends and family and more likely to become hermits. (although the latter could just be due to his fame) And he shows the same benefits that ADHD creates, overly passionate, creativity, seemingly endless amounts of energy, his love for puzzles (he said he treats lyrics like puzzles in the way each word is a puzzle piece) I’ve noticed when rappers do have ADHD they are usually in the conscious hiphop sub genre and have a strong emotional connection with their fanbase (some artists I know have it are Kendrick Lamar, Joyner Lucas, and Tyler the Creator) I have ADHD and make music and always wrote conscious hiphop all throughout middle and highschool and still do, I prefer making faster paced emotional songs, and my favorite part is spending time constructing lyrics like a puzzle just like he said. My guess is it’s a combination of undiagnosed ADHD, childhood trauma and maybe even a comorbidity (80% of people with ADHD have at least 1 other diagnoses like ODD, Anxiety, Tourettes, etc.)

[@quinnkaurich7937]

That was an incredible explanation of the effects of sexual abuse trauma. I have never heard it explained that way before. Thank you Dr. Grande

[@moomyung9231]

Murder "for the fun of it" might be the worst. Other murderers are feeling strong urges, people who are bored and want some excitement seems even sicker.

[@MegaMesozoic]

Sad story with your usual fair and balanced analysis. Thank you!

[@12thDecember]

Disagree on a lesser sentence. This couple aren't the first to murder someone just because they wanted to experience what it's like to kill somebody. Everything was planned and coordinated, even if their plan was obviously inept. As for Troy, he was a POS, but he didn't deserve to die like that.

[@somexp12]

Glad to see someone else understands it. Regardless of what it was that made you consider human life trivial, you still *are* that way. It also isn’t your “fault” if you happen to be born a psychopath or have rage you can’t control. Every murderer on the planet can reasonably claim nature, nurture, and circumstances did the heavy lifting. I still, however, object to life without parole because if people can contain the threat and keep the deterrent effect without having to ruin another life, they should go for it every time. She’s still human, but so is every other murderer.

Well doc one little problem on this one: Two people killed a guy who supposedly was "lost" in his life. I knew a man who was convicted of vehicular homicide with a car and got 30 years confinement in prison, no parole until after those 30 years. He was high on opioids to control pain and lost control of his car in a rainstorm and hit a vehicle with 4 people in it and 3 died. He got 10 years consecutive for each death. How does that compare to someone killing another on purpose and they only getting 25 years?

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

I do believe one’s history should be taken into account (especially with youthful offenders) but unless the perpetrator was truly psychotic at the time of their crime, childhood trauma should not be an excuse. I wouldn’t wish my childhood on anyone. It was neglectful (at best) and abusive (at worst). My parents were alcoholics. We lived in poverty even though both of my parents worked at good paying jobs. There were times my father attempted suicide and wanted me and my siblings to watch. I was sexually abused at age 10 and 13. I was “date” raped (long story) at 15 and gave the baby up for adoption due to my home life. I was a very rebellious teen. Started using drugs just before I turned 13. My point in saying all this is I never went on to commit any crimes.

Dr Todd Grande I binge your videos and your content range and depth is impressive. Your humour appeals to my dark humour. In this video I cannot agree that the perpetrators and the victim can be properly conceived as collectively "trapped in destructive behaviours." The victim thought he was paying a sex worker ( not ideal but many married and unmarried men do this ) whereas the perpetrators were looking for someone to kill. This is not about poor boundaries, in my opinion it's about remorseless and damaged killers. Thank you again for your videos.

Its a wonder that any child that grew up or lived in North Pole, Alaska would turn out normal. My brother lived in Fairbanks for 11 years, not far from North Pole, while he worked at Eileson Air Base. It looks like a beautiful place, but that is about it. They raised their 2 kids there, and for a better part of the year there is nothing to do. The winters are long and gloomy. Its far enough north that the sun never fully rises for a few months. When my brother moved back to California, his kids were in high school. They were socially awkward and had a difficult time adjusting. My nephew had panic attacks in crowds because he wasn't used to being around other people. Alaska is a terrible place to raise kids unless they plan to stay there. The fact this girl had mental problems doesn't surprise me
