Why Austin Thompson Should Die in Prison | Profiling Evil

from Profiling Evil

In October 2022, fifteen-year-old Austin Thompson launched a violent rampage in a quiet Raleigh neighborhood, killing five people including his own brother and a police officer. Now eighteen, Thompson has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and faces sentencing through a mandatory Miller hearing, an extraordinary legal process reserved for juveniles who commit the most serious crimes. In this episode, we walk through exactly what Thompson did, how the violence unfolded, why his guilty plea changed the legal path forward, and what a Miller hearing is designed to determine. Most importantly, I explain why (based on behavior, planning, brutality, and persistence), I believe the State is appropriately asking for life in prison without parole. #AustinThompson #NicholeConnors #LynnGardner #GabrielTorres #MaryMarshall #SusanKarnatz #RaleighShooting #MillerHearing #JuvenileJustice #TrueCrime #ProfilingEvil #VictimsMatter #LifeWithoutParole======================================== https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/======================================== 20% OFF Newspapers.com https://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Email your questions to: [email protected]======================================== 💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil 🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join 🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop 📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/store See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
