What this episode covers

Transcript Charlie James: All righty, let's go to David in Chacoa. How you doing, David? David: Oh, I'm doing great. Charlie, allow me to widen your perspective on that case with a woman killed her three kids. Charlie James: Okay. David: Uh, it appears that her husband was cheating on her, and maybe she knew of his being unfaithful. In any event, she evidently thought that he was going to gain custody of the three children very shortly because of her depression and her manic episodes. Sure is likely to lose those children, and losing them would have meant that all that she was living for in life would be gone. So, she thought it was better that they go to heaven than to live with him in his custody. And you look at the situation where you see that he got married very quickly after all this happened. He got remarried. So, there may be more motives than meet the eye. Charlie James: But wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! A murder still took place. A triple murder took place. This is a mass killing that this woman did. It doesn't matter what the reasons are. David: Well, I agree. It may not appear to matter what the reasons are, but you can understand that part of the reason for being under medication and realizing that she was going to lose her basically her life with her kids... Charlie James: All right, well, let me ask you something, David. Let me ask you something. What if what if it wasn't her children? What if she killed three other people's children? David: That's a different scenario. Charlie James: I don't see how. I don't see how. Let's say let's say somebody brought their three kids over there to stay with her while she was babysitting. All of a sudden, she hears this voice and she murders those three kids. How's How is that different? David: She wouldn't have a motive, much of a motive to kill three other kids. Charlie James: Ah, so you're now saying she does have motive. David: Yes, there'd be more of a motive there if her husband was trying to gain custody of those three children. Charlie James: I think that would be better. David: Yes, it would have been. But she didn't want that. Charlie James: Well, gosh. People that rob banks don't want to be poor. You know? There's There's I There's just absolutely There's no excuse for it, David. I appreciate it. There's none. Absolutely Now, Lisa Rinna, do you know who that woman is, Lisa Rinna? Now, this This is the new theory out here. Lisa Rinna, she's that actress that has those big lips that look like a pound of liver. You know what I'm talking about? I want you to listen to what Lisa Rinna said. Here we go. Lisa Rinna (audio clip): All right, he did it. Patrick did it. Patrick's the one who did it. Not Lindsay. Patrick did it because, you know... Charlie James: Now, wait a minute. She's going to tell on herself here in just a second. Here we go. Lisa Rinna (audio clip): I also heard that women typically don't strangle. So awful to even say, but that isn't what a woman would do. They don't strangle. I was actually in therapy today, and my... Charlie James: I was actually in therapy today. Yeah, you sound like you need it. You sound like you need it. Ah, unbelievable. But then again, I mean, the woman admitted to killing her three children. Literally, I'd have been like, I wouldn't have even been in the, you know, in the deliberation room. I'd have just been like in the hall going, "Yeah, yeah, she's guilty as hell." Let's go to Mike in Greenville. Mike, welcome. Mike: Hey, how you doing? Charlie James: I'm good, bud. What's up? Mike: Um, listening to all your people calling in, the bottom line is you're listening to what the book of Judges says: "Every man did that which was right in his own eyes." And everybody thinks that it's okay or whatever because it looks right to them. It's not right. Yeah. Right. Kill them, and she and she should be convicted of it. Charlie James: So, let's say, let's say, I mean, well, I used a good analogy. ...
