Scott Pattison, Van Damme look-a-like, murders wife with weight bar

Send us Fan MailHave you ever seen a grown man cry, whoop, and hyperventilate for a solid seven minutes? That’s what Miami real estate broker George Pino did while his own attorney was giving opening statements during his manslaughter trial which just got started this month.He’s accused of killing one of his daughter’s friends and leaving another severely injured after crashing his boat into a steel channel marker when a took the group of teens out to celebrate her 18th birthday. There was one cooler filled with alcohol for the girls and another for George and his wife.The family had celebrated with friends earlier in the day at a sandbar and were headed home when George crashed straight into the channel marker and capsized the boat.The boat crasher is one of the cases we’re talking about in this week’s episode of the Gulf Coast Confidential Podcast. We’re also talking about toll booth crasher Deanna Harrell, who was allegedly plowed when she plowed her pickup truck into a prefabricated aluminum toll booth operating a pickup truck in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, and killed a longtime toll booth attendant. And just for a little dash of “what the feezy” we’re checking in on the case of accused California killer Nick Reiner who now wants to tap into money from the trust fund that his parents set aside for him and use it to pay for his defense for killing them. But the main course of this week’s episode is the chilling case of Scott and Lisa Pattison. It looked like a tragic home gym accident ….until the killer forgot about his cameras. When Lisa’s husband Scott frantically called 911 in July 2009, he claimed he found Lisa pinned by a heavy barbell across her throat at their home gym in Indiana. He put her in his truck, racing toward the hospital, crying accident.But investigators quickly realized the math wasn't mathing. Was it a devastating weightlifting mishap, or a coldly calculated plot driven by a secret tawdry affair? Join us for the latest episode of the Gulf Coast Confidential podcast “Scott Pattison, Van Damme look-a-like, murders wife with weight bar.”Support the show
