Hi there Brandi I just love your deep dive it gives a lot more insight even though I followed the case and there was a lot not brought out in the trial that I’ve heard from you I know it’s a lot of dedication on your part to keep this podcast the canton conspiracy plus the live trials you do that I also follow. You are absolutely amazing Thank you ❤️

This is the thing a lot of SB supporters never took into account when defending her, so much more was not allowed into trial and most of them didn’t even watch pre trial hearings. You don’t ever get the full picture just watching the trial alone. I’ve researched everything I could find before trial and I shears felt she was guilty.

This is an awesome series and I can’t wait for the final installation (because I love all of your podcasts) and this has been the most thorough and nuanced coverage I have heard. Thank you for including more of the context that was not allowed in court that’s helps to paint a much clearer picture of just how much manipulation was occurring on Ashley’s side. This case is nuanced in that neither victims nor villains are 100% innocent or guilty at all times. Doug behaved badly and recklessly at times and Ashley has clearly experienced trauma but it seems to stem from something else and have been projected onto Doug. Everything she subjected herself and her daughter to is wild. A bariatric chamber for a baby but after she was cleared to breastfeed? The timing of all of the poisoning and when she’s deathly ill but then also healthy enough to do things that would tire anyone out makes no sense. Also she seems so spoiled and out of touch with the banal realities of life and seems to take them as personal insults.

I wonder where and how she found this "lab"? If you had legitimate concerns about being poisoned, why not just have the hospital test the samples, taken under controlled conditions?

One of the most important factors to me is that I learned she had mental health issues that weren’t allowed into trial. The poisoning lie she told to have that baby in secrecy early and hide it from Doug told me all I needed to know. I believe she had some serious mental issues and Doug paid the price for it.

I don't listen to podcasts because it's not my thing? I need visual footage 😊 but I always listen to yours because you're totally amazing 😊

I am a senior, was very gullible most of my life getting into many predicaments. I am so so sorry for what this case has done for true victims of any type of abuse. I was lost to her “innocence” when I realized that a “scared” woman allowed herself to be alone in a house with her “abuser” with three weapons conveniently and strategically handy. Really? Than you for information on this case.
