The pregnancy that sealed her fate: Betany Bad

The pregnancy that sealed her fate: Betany Bad: The murder of a pregnant sister On the night of May 23, 2024, a mother discovers massive blood in her son's kitchen. The body parts of her daughter Betany are found in three different locations: inside the house, at the neighbor's door, and scattered in the backyard. The horror was not improvised; Jack's journals reveal that it all began when he learned that his sister was pregnant. In this episode, we explore the contradictions surrounding the case: how Jack was declared competent to stand trial while his defense argues insanity due to mental illness, what the word "innocence" meant in his handwritten notebooks, and why a mental health call in 2022 did not prevent the premeditated murder of two victims.
