6:58

7:00
getting worse In
7:04
2016 Thanksgiving fell on the 24th of
7:07
November That
7:09
was when the people of Knoxville, Tennessee They woke
7:11
up and they turned the ovens on to get
7:13
that turkey cook in the guy
7:15
family dinner preparations had started The
7:17
turkey was being prepared stuffed ready
7:19
for the oven the potatoes boil
7:21
the green be casserole cooked The
7:24
patriarch and meat shark of the
7:26
guy family were Lisa and Joel senior
7:29
and they were getting into their seniors Lisa
7:31
55 Papa Joel 61 Thanksgiving
7:35
they had their four children over
7:38
now Joel senior he had three daughters
7:40
from a previous marriage Candice Michelle and
7:42
Angela and Lisa and Joel senior
7:44
had a son together 28
7:46
year old Joel guy junior or as
7:49
the family called him Joel
7:51
Michael Of course with
7:53
the family being together finally after some
7:55
time apart the two parents the tree
7:57
sisters and young job It's not only
7:59
you love is of work that are
8:01
exchanged between one another. Sometimes it's topics
8:03
best discussed in person with the whole
8:05
family involved. It's a rare time to get
8:08
the gang together so it's time
8:10
to talk about the big issues if you can. And
8:13
this was the case with the Guy family. Lisa
8:15
and Joel Sr. had some news or their
8:17
four kids. They were going
8:19
to retail. Joel was
8:22
an engineering designer. Lisa, a full-time mother
8:24
who then, as her children grew, went
8:26
on to become an accounting administrator. So
8:29
they were both gonna pack those jobs in,
8:31
sell the family home, move
8:34
into Joel Sr.'s mother's house. His mother
8:36
passed away a few years before. Now
8:39
there seemed to be some agreement around
8:41
the Thanksgiving dinner table that that decision
8:43
was a good idea. The children were
8:45
all adults. The three daughters, they lived
8:48
in Tennessee. Their son, Joel Jr., he
8:50
lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. So,
8:52
happy out. A couple of killers come out
8:54
of Baton Rouge, hasn't there? I know you recently did one.
8:57
Sean Gillis? Sean Gillis. I recently covered
8:59
him in video form for the folks at home.
9:01
You should go to youtube.com forward slash.channel. Yeah,
9:03
I did. He's a real sick son of a bitch. The
9:05
sickest thing about him is that he, so he went there
9:07
and he killed a load of women. One of the women,
9:09
he cut off her hand and he took it home and
9:11
he used it as a... Oh god. Yeah,
9:14
one of those. Like sex toys. Yeah, he's
9:16
a really fucked up guy. But
9:18
yeah, there's a few killers. Louisiana. Hey,
9:21
listen. I'm not gonna say it,
9:23
but I think there's a few serial killers down there, my friends. I
9:26
think there's a, it's either a documentary
9:28
or a TV program, it's like Baton
9:30
Rouge, capital serial killer or serial killer
9:32
capital. Basically,
9:35
there was like three, apparently, killers within
9:37
the same time that killed like... Oh, that's
9:39
actually, that's Joel, or we're talking about Joel,
9:42
no, Sean Gillis. Yes, there was two other
9:44
serial killers while he was serial killing. Yeah,
9:46
none of them connected. Derek
9:48
Rodney, I think, and some other guy. But yeah,
9:50
they were like, they, in mind, they'd kill like
9:52
30 people or something. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's a
9:54
lot of people being killed. Mad.
9:56
You know what? There's people dying today that never died before.
9:59
Can you believe that? So the
10:01
family of holiday
10:03
passed in good spirits. In
10:25
fact they were already talking about spending the
10:27
Christmas holiday together. The daughter is
10:30
left on Friday, which was the 25th of
10:32
November, but Joel Jr., Joel Michael,
10:34
he decided to stay on for a little longer.
10:37
And then he also returned to his own home on the 27th. Back
10:41
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It
10:45
was the next day, the 28th, that
10:48
the shit hit the phone. That
10:51
was a Monday, and Lisa failed to show
10:53
up for work. Her boss contacted
10:55
the police, says she could not get hold of Lisa
10:57
on the phone, she didn't call him sick, and these
11:00
are things Lisa would have done as a very
11:02
responsible person, so she wanted a welfare check done.
11:12
Police then arrived shortly to the guy
11:14
property to carry out this welfare check,
11:16
and one thing they did notice was
11:18
a for sale sign present in the
11:20
front garden. Also two cars
11:22
were parked at the house, and the lights
11:24
in the foyer was on. The
11:27
officers then went up to the front door of the house,
11:29
and they knocked on
11:31
the door, they rang the buzzer, but no
11:34
response to the house. Was
11:36
eerily quiet, yet as I said, it
11:39
seemed like the lights were on, but
11:41
nobody was home. The two officers then
11:43
called for a detective, as they had
11:45
a real suspicious feeling, and things
11:47
were looking off. They went to the
11:49
neighbors, and said, hey, what was the last time you seen the guys,
11:52
The literal guys? There was a Realtor sign, but
11:54
no realtor lock, or box, or anything, you know,
11:56
where they would keep the keys for when they're
11:58
doing house use. Who's. Rid
12:00
of not really adding a spigot see through
12:02
the windows and as an aid they could
12:05
see Grocery sig the Bears legacy bacon. Somebody
12:07
done some shopping to this up but of
12:09
the groceries or less that there. Including
12:11
stuff which is passionate like milk is left
12:13
out on the counter like still in the
12:15
shopping bags. They could tell the has was
12:17
warm inside. There's also a weird
12:19
smell coming from it, and a dog
12:22
was faintly barking somewhere from inside the
12:24
home. I think when they have
12:26
said when they make when he felt the window
12:28
things feel the heat emanating well and windowpane self
12:31
to that's area because windows are usually conical just
12:33
as her was Rosen said. The. Feeling
12:35
from the house was getting more and more
12:37
disturbing is a seconds ticked by and so.
12:41
We don't get inside. Eventually
12:43
did so when an officer pressed
12:45
the garish or opener and they
12:47
ventured in. And. Things you
12:49
know, see. just see if it's awesome
12:51
to think or whatever gruesome movie hand
12:54
and then like douglas. Is
12:56
the real horror show? It's real whorehouse yeah
12:58
has of hers. And as far as. It's
13:01
a house that lived murder see I
13:03
say are bringing about. This isn't the
13:06
editor. Of even is gonna give
13:08
it to get a hit. Straightaway
13:10
they could tell something was wrong.
13:13
As. The houses are entering the main
13:15
area of the has for it hall.
13:17
The first thing they noticed was their
13:20
seats. the temperature was extremely I am
13:22
douse it was roast psych the rides
13:24
the hearing the air to he tracks
13:26
us wherever they're using was on full
13:29
blast. It. Was also a
13:31
chemical odor emanating from that place.
13:34
There. Are random items on the dining area
13:36
for as they ventured fourth they sent
13:38
plastic bags bleach tells the dining table
13:40
had some items on a as well
13:43
including couple was one of long to
13:45
man one that belong to a one.
13:47
He. Was also money on the table,
13:49
cell phone and a summer. In.
13:52
The kitchen area the officers spend stove
13:54
and the oven were on turned up
13:56
to high seats. There. was also
13:58
a big pot on top of the stove.
14:00
It was bubbling, spilling, splashing
14:03
over. There was a
14:05
dog barking somewhere in the house. It sounded like
14:07
it was coming from an upstairs room. It literally
14:09
seemed like somebody had just been here. Walking around
14:11
the house, had done some shopping, was cooking food,
14:14
was getting the house nice and warm, and then
14:17
nothing though. The house was
14:19
creepily empty. It was eerie. There
14:22
was no sign of anyone around on the ground floor,
14:24
and so they proceeded up the stairs. On
14:27
the stairs were reddish brown stains.
14:30
Then on the landing, they stared
14:32
down the hall, and it was a long
14:34
hall. At the end of it, an open
14:36
door. There was blood on the ground and
14:38
on the walls, and at that
14:40
open door they could see hands. They
14:43
ventured down slowly and found that the hands
14:45
they saw were not attached to anything. The
14:49
officers then proceeded to clear the house, check
14:51
for people, people who would not
14:53
be there. There was no one. They could find no
14:55
one. They went into the master bedroom. The bed was
14:57
made. The bed was neat. The
14:59
chemical smell was really strong, and there
15:02
was an additional smell lingering in there as
15:04
well. Then they went
15:06
into the ensuite. Plastic
15:08
sheeting covered the floor. There
15:10
was a garden hose attached to the shower instead
15:13
of a normal shower head, and
15:15
a massive knife in the sink. On
15:18
the ground, in this
15:20
bathroom, were two large plastic
15:22
tubs next to each other. Inside
15:25
those tubs were the
15:28
dissolving remains of two
15:30
people. By
15:32
looking at the bodies, they assumed that
15:34
they were the remains of Lisa and
15:37
Joel Sr. The
15:39
house became quite the crime scene and
15:41
evidence, well, treasure trove I guess you
15:43
could say, because what had happened had
15:45
happened in every single room of the
15:47
house. At the back door
15:49
were unopened bin mags, tree bottles of
15:52
bleach, muriatic acid, baking soda. A sprayer
15:54
was beside. Guns and ammo were left
15:56
laid out on the dining table. Food
15:58
and groceries were out there. On
16:00
the staircase were piles of clothing that
16:02
had been cut up with a knife or scissors.
16:05
Beside was a bloodstained scissors and
16:07
a bloodstained knife. In fact there
16:10
was blood evidence just about dun
16:12
dun dun ellipses everywhere. As
16:15
well as knives and bleach, evidence of a cleanup
16:17
but not like a clean cleanup. As
16:19
if someone went out, bought a load of bleach,
16:21
baking soda, cleaning products, all that, but then took
16:24
one look at the mess they had made and
16:26
said, fuck that. The scene
16:28
was of such a state that whoever did
16:30
this, it wasn't like
16:32
they just wanted to kill Joel Sr
16:35
and Lisa, they wanted to annihilate them,
16:37
dissolve them, remove them from existence. It
16:40
took authorities two days to go through and
16:43
cover the entire crime scene. Once
16:45
done, the police had a pretty good idea
16:47
of what had happened in the home. It
16:50
was Joel Sr who had been attacked
16:52
first. Probably sometime late morning on Saturday,
16:55
the 26th of November, inside the gym
16:57
room of the house. He
16:59
had suffered dozens and dozens of sharp
17:01
force injuries when he was being murdered.
17:03
About 42 all together. It
17:06
was hard to determine the exact number
17:08
of stab wounds due to the dismemberment
17:10
process that took place post-mortem.
17:13
Though 34 cuts on his back showed
17:15
he had suffered them while he
17:17
was still alive. The medical examiner
17:19
at the trial was saying there was no pattern either
17:22
to like these 42 stab wounds on the back.
17:24
It was just like a frenzy
17:26
on the back and said at the
17:28
maximum depth of these stab wounds was
17:31
about six inches deep. Yeah, like some
17:33
power behind as well. Yeah, somebody's really
17:35
getting in there. He suffered injuries
17:38
to his lungs, his kidneys, his liver, his
17:40
ribs. He had multiple cuts on his hands,
17:42
defensive wounds. He tried to protect himself. He
17:44
was fighting for his life and
17:46
it was fight he lost. His hands
17:48
were removed from his body and were left
17:50
inside the gym where he had been attacked
17:52
poking at the door, a grisly
17:54
find for the police. Later
17:57
when during the trial, which we will
17:59
get him, was Then Lisa arrived home from
18:01
the store, and she was jumped as she came
18:04
in the front door. She
18:22
hadn't even chance to put the groceries away, and
18:24
she too was brutally slayed almost as soon as
18:26
she set foot inside her own home. She
18:29
suffered at least 25 sharp object wounds.
18:31
It was hard to determine how many there
18:34
were just to the level of decomposition and,
18:36
well, the dissolving process. She
18:39
had suffered injuries to her lungs, her left
18:42
kidney, her liver, to her spine, and well
18:45
so on and so forth. Just like Joel
18:47
Senior as well, the medical examiner determined that
18:49
all these stab wounds happened before her death
18:51
as well. It's like how angry do you
18:53
have to be though? I can't even imagine
18:55
what it must be like to do that to somebody else. You're
18:57
like, what the fuck must we go in 30
19:00
red? I know, yeah. Nothing. I
19:02
imagine it's just like nothing is going through these people's heads
19:04
when you're doing this shit, because there's no way they can
19:06
be thinking. I don't know. Being able to actually do what
19:08
they do, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just pure anger. Yeah.
19:11
Rage. That's it. Seen red.
19:14
Once both people were dead, the murderer started to carry
19:16
out the cleanup, which didn't only involve chemicals in mopping
19:18
up. Makeover. Joel
19:21
Senior's arms were removed at the shoulders.
19:24
His legs were removed at the hips, and his
19:26
right ankle was also separated from the rest of
19:28
his leg. His body parts were
19:30
then placed inside the chemical bath. Most
19:33
of his skin dissolved, except for the skin on his
19:35
back, as that would have been above
19:37
the broth. Yeah. The chemical bath,
19:39
it was a homemade acidic solution.
19:42
So this isn't like breaking bath.
19:44
Yeah, yeah. It's like,
19:46
ooh, this kind of chemical
19:48
pH balance, nerdy shit. Exactly. It's
19:51
like using the high hydrofluoric acid. Yeah.
19:54
It does. I think
19:56
that that will dissolve metal. But This was
19:58
a concoction of sewer liner cleaner. Baking
20:00
soda of liquid fired Rain cleaner lie
20:02
hydrogen peroxide as every fucking cleaning product
20:04
that exists it is I ah yes
20:07
road and aired I know there has
20:09
to strong acid use use for mean
20:11
eating plan toilet maybe you can clean
20:13
as goes. for
20:16
up with all the chemicals that the home
20:18
it was so like you mentioned that that
20:20
when he went the end of the strong
20:22
chemical smell boots the homemade in the so
20:24
hazardous that the their skins had were have
20:27
massive just processed crimes it just sounds dangerous
20:29
of severe as. Leases.
20:31
Arms are also removed that the shoulders her legs
20:33
are mood at the knees and are headed been
20:35
severed. Her. Body parts are placed
20:37
inside the other blue to help that
20:40
had been inside be ansi bathroom upstairs
20:42
inside the chemical bass. But.
20:44
And this is really gruesome murder stories.
20:47
Not her head. Her
20:50
head was found somewhere else in
20:52
the home. Forever. The pot
20:54
on the stove that was bubbling away. We.
20:57
Said guy's head had been simmering
20:59
in a pot of boiling water
21:01
for two. Days. Before
21:04
it was found. Which.
21:06
I. And
21:08
I covered story years ago
21:11
and I still vividly remember.
21:13
The. Past and the story is her miranda
21:15
i think was really on saddling is watching
21:17
the body cam footage police which you can
21:20
see your to that chapter procedure is yes
21:22
you can when i go to sorry the
21:24
case of job at junior to their biggest
21:26
served second original this is despite what the
21:29
days in all areas where they case of
21:31
the case us yeah we keep the all
21:33
the body com what is illness but when
21:36
the when they enter and walked through the
21:38
house and for the first time you can
21:40
see past am was the head isn't Adidas
21:42
walk by. Women with their unhappiness assume
21:44
it's just a pot and would the
21:46
oil enough? Pasa exactly I guess. And
21:49
to bali had a remind me little
21:51
bit over know Scottish circle of dense.
21:53
Nielsen's. And. boil
21:55
the has the harm than the sea
21:57
so was victims to remove slash as
21:59
wave bows and bodys so I
22:01
think he'd boil all these extremities and
22:03
then he'd like flush that down the toilet and then he'd like
22:06
bury or crush the schools and fuck her. But
22:08
yeah, messed up. Yeah!
22:11
After all this the police didn't waste
22:13
any time checking the CCTV of nearby
22:15
stores and what
22:17
did they see in one particular piece
22:19
of CCTV footage? Well a
22:21
guy walking in whose hands were
22:24
heavily bandaged almost like he'd been in a
22:26
fight maybe involving knives and he was a
22:28
bit of a bigger guy, a bit of
22:31
a few extra pounds. For those who
22:33
are maybe our H.P. Lovecraft fans at
22:35
home I think his stories are very
22:37
scary and cool and very atmospheric but
22:40
one of his stories is The Shadow Over Innsmouth
22:43
which is probably in my opinion his best story. It's
22:45
my favourite. And he talks about people who
22:47
have the Innsmouth look and essentially to
22:49
cut a long story short they're kind of like
22:51
half fish, half people. It's like
22:54
they have like droopy eyes, you know, fishy
22:56
eyes, their face is like very saggy. That's
22:58
kind of what he looked like and that
23:01
guy was Joel Guy Jr. Just
23:03
google him. It's a really good description. I
23:05
can see that. You can see it? Like just
23:07
google Joel Guy Jr. and tell me he doesn't
23:09
look kind of like a fish. Like he had
23:11
the Innsmouth look. He just has
23:13
this really weird, it's very hard
23:15
to explain but if you
23:18
know the description from that Lovecraft story it'll
23:20
match. On Tuesday
23:22
the 29th of November an arrest was
23:24
made all the way over in Baton
23:26
Rouge. The person being
23:28
charged with the first degree murders was no
23:30
one other than Joel Guy Jr. himself. Authorities
23:34
identified him as a suspect with
23:36
the aid of the Walmart security
23:38
video that appeared to show him
23:40
purchasing items located within the residence
23:42
that were apparently used in the
23:44
attempted destruction of the crime scene.
23:47
When they arrested him they found his hands
23:49
were covers in cuts and nicks. Inside
23:52
his car they also recovered a
23:55
meat grinder and a gasoline canister.
23:57
So what happened? The
24:00
turned out. Get. A different plan. Originally
24:02
then what he ended up doing
24:04
for police think that shooters injuries
24:06
as has been cut the shit.
24:08
Joe a junior decided to leave
24:10
the crime scene on finished on
24:12
Sunday Nov twenty seventh when he
24:15
left to go back to Baton
24:17
Rouge. Accompanied by the Baton Rouge.
24:19
On leftist Obama has totally irresponsible
24:21
that is very dangerous shall come
24:23
on. could burn as the his
24:26
I say why does. Know.
24:28
Joe had made quite a plan. I mean.
24:31
Which is satisfied and when you look at i'm the doesn't look for
24:33
the time ago. Plan. Things in fact
24:35
he wrote it all down vaguely that
24:37
a five page detailed scripts called the
24:39
bulk of pre mediation that was fans
24:41
says he lasted inside his back use
24:44
like the fucking worst killer. As last
24:46
all the shit he was like i'll
24:48
just leave it and hope that I
24:50
don't get legs would also leave the
24:53
book or detail and the do all
24:55
from me that there is less. All
24:57
the evidence is eggs yet of forty.
25:00

25:59
can we wrote. Them yeah we're both on down
26:01
to half assed leaves his and didn't do
26:03
half of the city actually said you were
26:06
barely that a mother I do. Pretty funny
26:08
how specific he got by saying get tipping
26:10
nice the be like accident grabbing a borderless
26:12
our yikes I owe our they decided as
26:14
Adam Lang mug i'm a diabetic yeah again
26:17
but in in the plans he initially wrote
26:19
down and to open the doggie door so
26:21
he would look like an intruder came in
26:23
and kill them as well as her were
26:25
retained mind about isn't easy to scribble that
26:28
I was as long as he was. Ever
26:30
as a glass and so is new Plan
26:32
was made look like the father had killed
26:34
the motor and and burn don't have a
26:36
hand has winter with gas cancer the Mri
26:39
hosts and the seemed like he was going
26:41
to use the water heater as well to
26:43
eat or start a fire or flood the
26:45
house he had pages those a water heaters
26:47
worth it has been Boston so he's going
26:49
to set has and fire and also flood
26:51
as the seems kind of like opposing theories
26:54
is one of my firewater he has Harrys
26:56
agreed I now.decadal and twisted sense this other
26:58
it. It's worth noting this wasn't. A plan
27:00
to he came whoop was just over Thanksgiving
27:02
so Lisa and Joe senior dade meant to
27:05
the fall me that there were thinking of
27:07
retiring in late October and this is Ashwin
27:09
Job Junior started collecting equipment for to murder
27:12
so we spent quite a bit of time
27:14
planning this job and it with with these
27:16
I guess for these types of family and
27:18
I live cases the perpetrator hot they have
27:21
a real sense of entitlement about them for
27:23
yeah they peered view to family members us
27:25
like their own property and this desire to
27:28
control the family your family finances is trend
27:30
dates. Day was against family in
27:32
the real violent and thanks anyway,
27:34
like murderously way Murderously My is
27:36
a. According to
27:38
family members and a friend of Joel Michael
27:41
Junior he had a friend Falcon out for
27:43
us. He was always an outsider who never
27:45
really got a what the family he never
27:47
made any effort to be to stay in
27:49
touch with his family enough it I guess
27:51
have some years his family thought the same
27:53
about him. Except. his dear mother
27:55
lisa should call him all the time
27:57
during school you're sending in money paying
28:00
for his accommodation, paying for his studies where
28:02
he was training to become a... classic
28:04
surgeon. Which is just fucking
28:07
totally bizarre. She would
28:09
keep his childhood toys, even though he was... How
28:11
old was he, Joel Guy Jr., by the way?
28:15
Yeah, he was 28 when he committed the murders. So
28:17
he was like old enough to not keep his
28:20
fucking childhood toys. Or at least, you know, not
28:22
kind of give a shit about him, I suppose,
28:24
at that point anymore. Joel
28:26
Guy Jr. pled not guilty to the
28:28
two first agreed murder charges that were
28:31
filed against him and he went on
28:33
trial in 2020. As
28:35
it turns out, Joel Jr.'s parents decided to
28:37
cut him off from his allowance. They wanted
28:40
to sell the house and retire, you know,
28:42
start posing in the money factory and I
28:44
guess Joel Jr., you know, they thought it
28:46
was finally time for him to stand on
28:48
his own two feet. And I guess he
28:50
thought very fucking differently. Honestly, it's about time
28:53
that they decided to cut him off. I
28:55
mean, he's 28. He was in
28:57
college, studying to become a... Yeah. He
28:59
had no interest in getting a job. He
29:02
was relying on his parents financially his whole
29:04
life. As you mentioned, you touched
29:06
on it. Not only did they pay for
29:09
his schooling, but his housing, food, car, textbooks,
29:11
sell everything. You pay for everything. Yeah. I'm
29:13
sure at the beginning, they, you know, didn't
29:15
mind giving Joel a hand, giving him some
29:18
bit of financial support. They
29:20
were pretty well off. They weren't rich, but
29:22
they were doing okay with themselves. I guess they
29:24
were hoping supporting Joel financially would, you
29:27
know, allow him to focus on the studies a bit more.
29:29
No, it doesn't say it. I've seen this done before and
29:31
it doesn't really work. People, a lot of them do doubt
29:33
that they just take it and it's like, and
29:35
it's used to even be fucking lazier. That's it.
29:37
It doesn't work and it didn't work. Joel took
29:40
the absolute piss. He started university in 2006, but
29:43
by 2016, 10 years later,
29:45
he still hadn't graduated. Yeah. So
29:47
at this point, his parents were, they were starting to feel the
29:50
financial burden. Yeah. Joel, all these
29:52
years and Joel was spending his parents money,
29:54
just hand over fist like it was his
29:56
own. At One point, Joel's mother was sending
29:58
her entire weekly paycheck. The really into
30:00
his video years and then to add
30:03
insult to injury, he dropped out university.
30:05
Something even greater dropped out when he
30:07
still expected them to fund his lifestyle.
30:09
His parents they would try, haven't these.
30:12
Com say to him about getting a job for
30:14
you. Just. Become. Enraged the and the
30:16
I he was used to you the with
30:18
a major yet as a day they should
30:21
cook com off a long time zone man
30:23
in the end of days as mess they
30:25
decide to force Jos hands they plan to
30:27
retire early and sell the house which as
30:29
we know he did not a to know
30:31
he was not not too keen on battle
30:33
plan or tf afraid. He
30:35
burned you. Commit murders for insurance
30:38
purposes. Lisa had a half million
30:40
dollar life insurance policy because my
30:43
parents search licensure. Instance: Your beauty.
30:45
That's. A
30:50
fight. The Betty I Target opens. It's like a
30:52
half million dollars. It is a lot of fucking
30:54
money. but it's not like you still get a
30:57
job you know then get out lights all I
30:59
live off of arrest You want to me alone
31:01
when it when I don't have a voice for
31:03
I yeah I get enough mean for him he's
31:05
he's never going to get a just not essential
31:07
for like when he a guy I agree you
31:09
get a house but as also easily get a
31:11
job of exactly what only to worthless. Yeah yeah
31:14
you could live off that for a couple years
31:16
and mean maybe like a decade if your research
31:18
and. His. Plan was to kill his
31:20
mother and make his dad disappear. The police
31:22
who blame them are honest that and be
31:24
looking for someone who would well have been
31:26
dissolved an asset. Bus. Job A
31:28
decision at both his parents had to be gone
31:30
for him to receive the entire amount of money.
31:33
He. Detailed his parents' assets or they had
31:35
and what he's hoping to get. He
31:38
asked for the death penalty if he was found guilty.
31:40
Which. He was. Still, Michael
31:42
was found guilty by the jury
31:44
on all seven counts. He.
31:47
Was sentenced to life in prison for
31:49
the two counts of first degree premeditated
31:51
murder, one count of felony murder for
31:53
killing we See Guy while committing first
31:55
degree murder of Joke I senior on
31:57
two counts of felony murder while committing
31:59
Sas. He. Was also charged
32:01
with an additional four years imprisonment
32:04
for the abuse of corpse charges.
32:07
Now. Course lawyers argued against consecutive sensing in
32:09
the additional four years. The defense said the
32:11
Joel Michael had no prior criminal history and
32:13
you'd been old ass manned by the time
32:16
of his release, meaning no danger to society
32:18
by that points. But the judge did not
32:20
buy this because I mean that the city
32:22
did a he had no family, I had
32:25
no trouble history yet he still does it
32:27
So I like During the trial though, like
32:29
when they were showing the images of the
32:31
house and bodies I guess him look analysis
32:33
his eyes open opens, he's a thing you
32:36
can join in a. Man reliving.
32:38
Yeah, exactly. He's got a real fucking this
32:40
arena spitzer the judge said. I don't think
32:42
his mind is going to change quite frankly.
32:45
I think if it was three hundred years,
32:47
it wouldn't be sufficient. I don't
32:49
see potential for rehabilitation for Mr.
32:51
Guy. I was watching him
32:53
during the trial. He showed absolutely
32:55
no remorse or despair overseeing what
32:57
he had done. Quite. Frankly
33:00
Mr. Guy, you look like you're
33:02
kind of proud of what you've
33:04
accomplished. You. Know initially Joe
33:06
he filed a motion to serve as zone
33:08
council and I will work well or has
33:10
a stated that he wanted to represent himself
33:13
so he could file a motion to receive
33:15
the death town the in him guilty which
33:17
I feel it's just attention seeking kind of
33:19
feel sorry for himself Behaviors I think so
33:22
because I mean even I'm so we mention
33:24
lights of a softer and frog or was
33:26
notices know literary they did not. Do.
33:28
Anything. They. Offered no evidence
33:31
to. Stop. like you'd
33:33
never know say there was no defense it all
33:35
three wasn't like when he requests bees on counts
33:37
of the judge he said he bought some good
33:39
legal reps and i use my guests and he
33:42
said he was still adam file his motion for
33:44
that found the if he reinstate his lawrence which
33:46
jones junior agree to post didn't i don't think
33:48
is made the difference him having more is there
33:51
left with where do or how useless the didn't
33:53
have a clear defensive all as said is laura
33:55
she tried his best to prove he was not
33:57
guilty he argued prosecutors did not get handwriting analysis
34:00
done for the five page plan they
34:02
found in Joel's backpack at
34:04
the crime scene in his room. Who
34:07
else? It could have been anybody you knew
34:09
that. Like I understand it was a reasonable
34:11
output like come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also
34:13
the victims were found murdered by the exact
34:15
same way as described in his plan.
34:18
And Joel Jr was seen on CCTV
34:20
buying the equipment mentioned in the plan.
34:22
Yeah. Also there were other books
34:24
found in the backpack which had Joel Jr's name
34:27
written on the inside. So it's not like it
34:29
was someone else's backpack. It clearly is a
34:31
backpack. You had a name written all
34:33
over the books. And then another thing
34:35
like putting aside the writing analysis. If
34:37
you look at the actual context of
34:39
what had been written, it says her
34:41
life insurance and I get the whole
34:43
thing. Yeah. Like why would anybody else
34:45
say that? His defense team also presented
34:47
a picture of Joel two days before
34:50
the murder which showed him smiling and
34:52
happy. And he basically said look how
34:54
happy it is. He's a smiling person.
34:56
How could he murder anyone? Exactly. Happy
34:58
people don't kill. Right. Exactly. All is
35:00
well that ends well. And he was found guilty
35:02
and sentenced to life in prison. So indeed he
35:04
was indeed he was. And even in
35:07
prison he threatened to send it. He gouged
35:09
his eyes out. And
35:11
that is the story of Joel
35:13
Guy Jettinjar. A real sick
35:15
piece of shit. But there you go. Yeah. Fuck him.
35:17
He didn't like him. I'm putting my leg in the
35:19
chair for the folks at home at the record show.
35:21
Putting my leg in the chair and chilling. Chilling like
35:23
a villain. Nice. Oh yeah. I guess
35:26
the moral of the story is trust no one.
35:28
Not even your family. But especially your family. Yeah.
35:30
Not even your family. But especially not your family.
35:33
So we want to talk about no geese. I don't know. Do you want to
