Court documents show he was originally charged as an adult with 10 felony counts — including first-degree rape, attempted rape, sexual battery, and multiple counts of domestic assault by strangulation.  Despite facing a possible 78-year prison sentence, Butler was instead granted youthful-offender status under Oklahoma law. The sentence was suspended on the condition that he complete a court-supervised rehabilitation plan: over 100 hours of community service, weekly counseling, daily check-ins, a curfew, and a ban from social media — until he turns 19.  Support the showEXCLUSIVE SUBSCRIBER-ONLY CONTENT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2452889/subscribe If you or anyone you know have any information about this case, have suggestions about a case we need to cover or general comments about The Last Clue, please email [email protected]:  FacebookYouTube: @SmithMediaTeamTikTok: The_Last_Clue podcast (@the_last_clue.pod) | TikTok

Send us Fan MailPREVIEW: In this episode of The Last Clue, we retrace the final night of OU rugby player Joe Pal, from the lively bars of Campus Corner to the chilling silence of a doorbell camera that captured his last known movements. With heart rate data from his Garmin watch, unexplained gaps in time, and a phone found blocks away, the story exposes contradictions between police reports, witness accounts, and the official homicide ruling. What really happened to Joe Pal that night — and why are there still more questions than answers?  Support the showEXCLUSIVE SUBSCRIBER-ONLY CONTENT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2452889/subscribe If you or anyone you know have any information about this case, have suggestions about a case we need to cover or general comments about The Last Clue, please email [email protected]:  FacebookYouTube: @SmithMediaTeamTikTok: The_Last_Clue podcast (@the_last_clue.pod) | TikTok

Send us Fan MailPREVIEW - Behind Closed Doors: Why Justice Has Failed Joe Pal releases on Tuesday, September 2 at 7 AMIn this subscriber-only episode of The Last Clue, we take a hard look at the facts — and give our opinion on what they reveal. The Norman Police Department admitted three men were involved in Joe’s death, yet kept their names hidden. The Oklahoma State Medical Examiner delayed results for months beyond national standards, stalling the case. And the Cleveland County DA declined charges despite a homicide ruling. Based on the evidence, we believe this wasn’t just mismanagement — it was a systemic failure that denied Joe Pal and his family justice.  This is the story the public was never meant to hear. Support the showEXCLUSIVE SUBSCRIBER-ONLY CONTENT: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2452889/subscribe If you or anyone you know have any information about this case, have suggestions about a case we need to cover or general comments about The Last Clue, please email [email protected]:  FacebookYouTube: @SmithMediaTeamTikTok: The_Last_Clue podcast (@the_last_clue.pod) | TikTok
