On the evening of May 27th, 2018, Chad O'Melia was enjoying a chill evening of watching TV and hanging out with his new girl, Bryn Spejcher. The two decided to smoke some marijuana together, however, just minutes after smoking, Bryn began brutally stabbing Chad over 100 times, before turning the knife on herself. What could have possibly caused such a random, savage attack?!
What are your thoughts on Chad's case? Let's discuss in the comments.
Thank you guys for watching, hope to see you next time!

Thank you Rachel! I appreciate your hard work and dedication ❤
You have one of those cat fishing a** hats on here asking me to chat in your name. Thought you'd like to know.

She’s still responsible. Just like a drunk person chooses to get into a car to drive.
Exactly
PERFECT example. However I believe plenty of those people have been convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
💯% agreed and this case really angered me. I'm sorry but I'm in my 50,s and I've never heard of someone's killing a person let alone stabbing someone 100 times. She got off way too easy. In my early 20s I smoked a lot of weed and I have been so high where I have felt like I couldn't breathe but to freaking kill somebody that's a whole nother level of crazy and in my opinion she must have had some mental health problems or something that triggered her I cannot believe she got involuntary manslaughter I believe she should have at least gotten second degree and the fact that she showed no remorse it just makes me so sick I have not had a case angers me so much like this one has
EXACTLY 💯
I do think ťhç psychosis is scary but the fact that she blamed him for taking it and that she is sorry for the consequences of ending someone (instead of ending him) - she needs to do some serious time and she's a danger to the public
Her parents are awful people, oh my god. How dare they say it “could have been a good thing”??? What foul people. Jesus Christ.
I was alittle distracted while watching this video. I didn't here that.
What a bunch of assholes.
Could, would, should. They are using an imaginary scenario (totally without any base in reality) to accuse a victim of wrongdoing and justify the acts of their murderer daughter
Right?? What a horrible response!
Is the killer Jewish? That would explain everything. Also, she got a pussy pass.
She stabbed her service dog! Her own services dog! This is crazy. I really feel like she shouldnt have got off so easily. I definitely think she should have been charged with murder.
It's unbelievable she didn't have any remorse even if she blacked out from
Pot!
Agreed 💯
Exactly you would be devastated but you don’t black out on cannabis. It can slow your short term memory after long time heavy use but it doesn’t ever cause a full on blackout like booze. I can’t believe they dropped charges down to manslaughter for someone who feels zero guilt or remorse or compassion for the life she took and literally blames him for what she did. Absolutely disgusting.
She literally had the time to write down on a piece if paper the reason why she did it while supposedly "in a state of psychosis"
Complete nonsense
She is evil in my opinion. Idc what substance a person does. Her excuse is dubious at best
Throw the books at her PARENTS for saying "Maybe its a good thing" that she murdered him...wow in his 32 years on this earth..not once has he had that "type" of behavior! Wowwww
Wow. I completely missed that! Can you please give me a time stamp? 💞

@@halfofmyheart3167Around 32:20
Yeah it's disgusting. Even more disgusting that they're throwing false accusations at him.
He was 26
She had no memory of what happened, yet wrote on a piece of paper that he made her take a second hit 🙄
My thoughts exactly…
Well of course she would remember what happened before the hit that made her psychotic. It doesn't hit you instantly.
She LIED and she's doing the lecture circuit know about drugs!
@@RachelShannon She's doing the lecture circuit and blaming weed!
@@Mandaxx25< FOOL. She's a monster & a LIAR. She belongs under the prison.
I had a friend who smoked weed with us and she legit started having delusions and ran away crying saying that we were trying to kill her and she was dying. It was horrifying and we had to take her to the hospital. Y’all be careful out there some people really can’t process weed.
Same thing happened to my sons ex girlfriend!! We had to call 911.. IT WAS HORRRIFYING!!
So true! I have two sisters and a brother who cannot handle marijuana! They all say they are dying! And they freak OUT! Marijuana is NOT for everyone!
I have hallucinated on marijuana but it took a LOT! I was 110 lbs and drank 28 oz of cannabis oil. I full on hallucinated an entire world and I am so grateful that mine was fun and not terrifying.
My sister has ptsd and she tried to smoke to see if it would help her. She couldn’t handle it she was hearing gunshots shots and couldn’t feel safe
100%
This is just wrong, what would happen if the tables were turned and Chad killed her? Disgusting, this girl.is the only one that's responsible for her own actions. And she stabbed him over 100 time, holy crap! She seems very entitled, not wanting to take any responsibility. Terrible!
Agreed
He would have likely been shot by the cops. If taken alive, he would have been in prison or an institution for life or gotten the D penalty.
Exactly. A MAN would not get the same excuse. She got a PUSSY PASS.
Her parents are just as disgusting as she is. If she was such a "kind & caring person," she would have been devastated by what she did, high or not. I remember when I drank I would be told by friends do you know what you did or said last night. I would feel so horrible or guilty for days & couldn't apologize enough. This woman has no soul or even human empathy for what she did. She was probably placated all her life due to her disability & never held accountable for anything. I hope she serves a full 4 years.
I totally agree, I'd feel guilty fir insulting or upsetting someone during a blackout. She shows no remorse for taking someone's life. What kind of person behaves like that? Probably a psychopath
The whole "maybe he deserved it because he tried to force himself on her", but she also stabbed her own service dog. No ma'am. Get out of here with that. I can't handle thc, makes my anxiety skyrocket, and the couple of times I've been too high, never once in my entire being would I have become violent.
PUSSY PASS.
This case is so terribly sad and so wrong on many many levels. My thoughts and prayers are with Chad’s friends and loving family. May he rest in much Peace. 🙏🏻
Agreed. It’s an awful situation all around.
Thank you, Amy, she got a PUSSY PASS! That means she got off because of the fact that she's a wo-MAN! A MAN would not have gotten off with this excuse.
This doesn’t fall under involuntary manslaughter. What judge in their right mind would drop the charges to that . I’m beyond disgusted with the justice system right now. I strongly agree with Chad’s Dad , the jury should be able to have heard the evidence and able to decide the charges.
I just made many similar comments and I don't want to keep repeating myself but try to look for my comment I made it a little over an hour ago and I am a new subscriber and that's pretty much what it says in the beginning of my comment but I had a lot to say about this case and you are 💯 when you say about our judicial system because it's beyond fuked
@@rachelrae860👏 Absolutely 💯 agree with both of you
@@pettykittyfam thank you 😊
It’s an absolute miscarriage of Justice. California, among many other states, have been insanely soft on crime.
She had a psychosis
I am so dissatisfied with the results of this case. I think she should have gotten at least 15 to 20 years due to her lack of remorse and accountability. It’s sick that her parents would make such a disgusting suggestion of what could have happened. They should be ashamed of themselves. It’s obvious where she learned her behaviors from. I feel so bad for his family. My God, where’s the justice for such a caring young man?!!!
Love your channel. ❤❤❤❤❤
I am so upset with the results of this case. Her family is horrendous.
Right! Her parents saying “it might have been a good thing” made me want to throw my phone
Right! Her parents saying “it might have been a good thing” made me want to throw my phone
SHE GOT A PUSSY PASS. This is not new. wo-MEN killers get off! fEMINIST politics!
@@RachelShannon Thank you Rachel for being a good person! A MAN would not have gotten away with this, she got off because she's a wo-MAN. Just like Karen Read killing her cop boyfriend, it looks like she may get off because of pink power
Just WOW! This case is brutal. Like you said, such a painful and slow way to die. Poor Chad. And I agree with what his dad said, she is NOT the victim! 😞
I get that a psychotic person with a knife is dangerous, but I can't help but to think this guy & his friend was weak. I feel she could have been restrained. Maybe you'll get cut, but a MAN can hold a wo-MAN no?
i’m a regular weed smoker and have smoked with many people. i have even seen a person go crazy off being too high. that being said, she is 100% accountable and should’ve got a second degree murder charge. she didn’t know how to handle herself but no one forced her to smoke or take another hit, that is on her. she was obviously having an episode but that doesn’t change anything at all. she deserves a lot of time in prison
Weed didn't make her do it. She was psychotic already. She got a PUSSY PASS
As someone who’s high af rn off legal weed, this case absolutely disgusts me I’m sorry Chad you and your family deserve so much more RIP 💜 She is guilty it’s the same as drunk if you don’t respect what you ingest it doesn’t free you from murder wtf
This story is heartbreaking & I do believe she should be charged. However, I do want to share an experience I had with weed. I was probably about 20 & this was my 1st real time smoking weed with my boyfriend that I had been with for years & had never hurt me. But as soon as the weed high kicked in I had the worst experience ever. I truly thought my boyfriend was trying to kill me because I was having such a negative reaction to the weed. My sister had stayed the night at our house that night and I wanted to go wake her up so that she could help “protect” me from my boyfriend. However, he realized I was having a bad trip and was trying to comfort me on the couch and was preventing me from going to bother my sister. I was so terrified & paranoid that it made it even worse that he wouldn’t let me go get my sister. My boyfriend said he laid on the couch with me and tried to gently keep me from getting up and freaking out. He said about 10-15 minutes went by and then all the sudden I snapped out of it. I remember “coming to” and feeling so relieved that experience was over. I never had feelings of hurting him or violence at all but I could see how someone in that situation might feel the need to “defend” themselves. Where I still see the problem though, is that she chose to smoke the marijuana. When you do that you have to take responsibility ahead of time for how you will behave- the same with alcohol or any other drug. Like you, I find it very insulting that she won’t even plead guilty to the involuntary manslaughter. I get the jail & prison has got to be hell on earth and nobody wants to be there. But a man lost his life here and he + his family deserve justice. Plain and simple, in my opinion. 🤷♀️
As someone who is a recovering alcoholic and now a regular weed smoker (I use it for my anxiety in small doses/hits and when I'm socializing I'll smoke more [recreational use] and my tolerance is high.) With that being said, before becoming a regular smoker, when I first started dabbling with weed; I did have more than one occurrence where I reacted negatively to weed and had a bad trip. It does feel like you don't have control over your body or mind, it does feel very scary and I can see someone being scared.. maybe become violent to defend themselves as they are confused and scared, but to STAB someone over 100x... And for weed alone to cause you to go into that much a of a violent tangent... Just doesn't make sense. Even if you are tripping and you feel like you have zero control- I still understood when my brother or ex was trying to comfort me; I was in a panic asking them to throw water on me, and I can picture whatever her name is freaking out, but again I reiterate; stabbing someone that many times comes from anger as well and it's personal. If he was shouting her name, begging her to stop I don't see how she wouldn't snap out of it at a given moment - instead, she kept going and going and going. I'd also like to point out, the roommate came down and if she was in such a psychotic breakdown why didn't she attack him? I know she stabbed her dog.. maybe that was an accident while she was going berserk with that knife non stop on poor Chad. Omg I can picture the horror. Rest in Peace. And whereas, I stand on everything I explained above I am a recovering alcoholic and when I was on my alcohol binges (I used to drink a lot, like massive amounts I'm only 4'11", but I used to drink like a 6'11" mountain man) and I did do a lot of irresponsible, scary things and NOT remember. So, I can't completely knock out that she doesn't remember. I've never had that experience with weed, but I can see someone reacting badly to weed; it does happen- I'm not saying it doesn't and can't, I just don't understand why she never stopped. And she doesn't look remorseful at all. The fact that she is trying to get away with it says it all. However, if alcohol can cause someone to do terrible things (things we feel ashamed of for months or years)- alcoholics end up, lying ,stealing, forgetting any and all common sense and responsibility. I did some things that I'd never ever done. Unlike me, thibgs I never did again so, we can't say "nope it's just weed. Could never happen" especially if you haven't even experienced any of these type of scenarios. I have, I have drank to the point I don't remember what I did. Found out I did something out of character and had to pay consequences for said actions though. Despite the fact that alcoholism is a disgusting disease that affects tons of people around the world, it does not excuse the outcome/choices people make while on these substances. Especially if you are aware that it is a problem- despite it being a disease and you can't control it all the time, when you don't make an effort to change and get help that's when I have a problem with said person. And definitely if you kill someone so horrifically- yeah, idc what you're going through not an excuse. Hope she rots in jail. She looks mighty nonchalant- maybe even angry that SHE has to be in jail. She doesn't come off remorseful at all, if she was we'd see tears and she'd take responsibility.
I’m not excusing what she did but I also once had a really scary high. I was an on average weed smoker. I smoked maybe once a day. It wasn’t like an all day every day thing so I would say I knew what I was doing. One night I go smoke with a friend and I start feeling weird. I started feeling like the room was rotating and I started thinking that the friend I was with was out to get me. I kept telling him that I know what he was trying to do to me, and that he drugged me and he was going to do something bad to me. And that went on for almost a whole hour before, I calm down and my high went away, and I realized I was just having a bad high. It was honestly so scary. I couldn’t understand what was happening while still being aware of the moment.
I don’t smoke weed because of the paranoia I get from it. But she chose to smoke it whether she knew what it would do or not/ she took that chance willingly and I do believe she was in a psychosis but it doesn’t excuse her behavior and I do believe it is still second degree murder. I actually even tried spice one time and it literally had me thinking I was dying and I would still never have killed someone else.
The problem with marijuana is that most people don't know anything about the strain that they are smoking or their own genetics. Delta9 THC, or for that matter any type of high THC level strain is dangerous for first timers. And the caregivers need to let the person be rather than smothering them, even though it comes from a good place.
But in this case, I totally agree that it was she who asked for a second hit, and won't even take responsibility for what she did!
It is quite infuriating.
The only thing I would add is that the issue that caused her hearing loss could also cause a bizarre reaction. So I wonder about that. It may be hard for her to see herself as anything but a victim also if she had a "severe allergic psychodelic reaction". But one would expect her to own her willing participation in something that neither could know would affect her that way.
I live in this county and I had no idea this even happened. Thanks for covering this story. It’s terrible.
Not defending her at all, but I want to say, people forget that marijuana is a psychedelic substance. The GMO weed today is not the same as we smoked in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. I was raised by a hippie dad and smoked more than my share back in the 90s. I cannot smoke what is grown today. It is modified to make people as high as possible with as little as possible. When I have smoked the stuff grown today, I was completely useless. On my 46th birthday last year I ate a pinch of a THC gummie and was completely incoherent for 9 hours. If I hadn’t known I would eventually come down, I would have been extremely terrified. I would even go as far as saying I was clinically insane for that entire 9 hours. Now, if I do smoke, I will only smoke plain old dirt weed that only relaxes you, and does not make you so high you cannot think and function. In this case, the fact that she stabbed her own dog, lets you know she was definitely in a psychotic break. I hate this happened and life was lost.
Totally agree
Agreed. She started the video conceding that different people react differently then goes on to add to the character assassination as if it could not be true.
I had to go to the hospital after eating a weed brownie. It was terrifying. I thought someone put meth or something in it. I don’t think she’s a bad person nor do I think Chad forced her into anything. Brynn’s parents need to back off Chad ASAP that’s just BS!! She couldn’t handle her weed, nor can I.
I use it medically and really love that I can get the dose that works for me. I stay with indica and generally a mainly CBD dose with only a mild elevation effect. But getting recreational or street stuff is a crap shoot. Perhaps this will raise awareness about the variety of type and effects and the way they affect people differently. It's more like a range of psychedelics than just one, but we tend to lump all pot together....
I agree. No one would willingly stab their service dog. That alone is what influenced how I view her mental state that night. This whole thing is so tragic.
I smoke weed daily. I have certainly felt some anxiety and paranoia but never had any type of adverse reactions. This is so crazy to me. How does someone force a person to smoke weed?! There has to be some kind of underlying mental issue going on to have this type of reaction. The overkill stabbing is just so hard to understand. Keep up the awesome work Rachel!
Girl I just made a similar comment stating when I was in my early twenties I smoked weed on The daily and I've had episodes of freaking out oh my God I can't breathe but never the thought that I want to kill somebody and not just that she stabbed him over a hundred times so to me that's a whole nother level of crazy and to me she must have had some underlying mental health issues I am in my mid fifties now and I don't smoke anymore cuz I don't like the way it makes me feel but never have I ever heard of somebody murdering someone after only two bong hits it is mind-blowing to me 🤯 and I don't feel he forced her to do anything and her sentence is an absolute joke and she doesn't even want to admit to it it really angers me to my core
I'm in the same boat as you but I'm thinking her reaction sounded more like a whitey (not sure if you call it that but just that wave of nausea past ur limit) initially where she (somehow after only 2 hits!) couldn't tolerate the amount and got super faint but I have no idea how she got so aggressive unless there's a mental illness present. I honestly think this was all an excuse I think she intended to kill him. I'm wondering if she was leading up to a mental break before this event and conveniently had thc in her system maybe he offered her some to calm down bc of her behaviour leading up (pure speculation)
EXACTLY! Weed has NOTHING to do with this. Just an excuse. She got a pussy pass
Why do people INSIST someone forced another person to do something? Worst defense ever
Crying for herself when she’s only looking at 4 years maximum. Horrible that her parents tried to dirty his reputation also!! Just cos she’s deaf she thinks she can get away with it. Disgusting that she stabbed her poor dog 😢 who prob thought she was rescuing her owner 😢 I don’t like her!!
She's not deaf., and yes she got a PUSSY PASS
All she got was community service 😂 most INSANE thing I have ever heard
I want to believe she killed him because of a reaction to the weed and that she feels horrible about her actions but her mug shots won't let me. She looks angry and evil. Her eyes don't show a woman who regrets her actions. She just has this blank dead look.
I agree. Her eyes show that no one is home. She looks like she’s souless.
Let’s hope we never get judged on one photo 🙄 (no I’m not on her side)
She was probably in shock and still high af.
The fact they gave her dog one minor stab wound while stabbing Chad so many times, and not stabbing his dog or anyone else in the house, almost makes me think that the injury to her dog was just so she could say “see? I wasn’t in my right mind.” That or it was an accident as her service dog may have been curious/protective during the beginning of the attack
@@sarahleony it was more than one.
Forced her to take another hit? BS
That story is enough to deter anyone from smoking. Absolutely horrible 😞. 9 strikes of a police baton....man hits.....before she let go of the knife?! Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Thank you Rachael. ❤
Weed had NOTHING to do with it. She is a psycho and it's plain to see even now, just her facial expressions show it. She was already off base.
I can't imagine how chad's family must feel. She got off so easy and it's not right, she killed him...brutally. She chose to smoke, she chose to take a second hit, and then she killed him, so she deserves a MUCH harsher sentence. I definitely feel like you should be held responsible for what you do while intoxicated when YOU CHOOSE to be intoxicated. It's the same concept as "guns don't kill people, people kill people" the weed didn't kill Chad, she did.
She should have been charged with murder. And life in prison.
I’m a mental health professional ( I work in psych) and I without a doubt do think it was drug induced psychosis. For anyone who isn’t a mental health professional, I highly suggest researching drug induced psychosis!! When we think of it, we typically think of more hard core drugs, not marijuana, but I assure you it’s very real. There are so many factors that go into how any drug will affect someone and there’s really no way to know how it will affect a person until after it’s done. I’m not by any means condoning or justifying what she did, wrong is wrong, but I strongly feel this never would have happened if she didn’t smoke!
Sadly I think if it happened the EXACT same way but the roles were reversed, his charges would not have been dropped down. They are so easy on women! I also think she could have had a panic attack from it and he maybe tried to calm her down and she freaked out, but it takes a really long time to stab someone over 100 times! A super sad case all around! 😢
Involuntary manslaughter is the least appropriate verdict and Bryn should’ve plead guilty to it no questions asked!
I do believe she was in a state of psychosis, I was convinced of that as soon as you said she stabbed her service dog.
I don’t think she had malicious intent, or knew what that thc could make her feel this way. She wasn’t used to it, it was a too strong strand and it ended horribly. But at the end of the day she ended someone’s life! She should’ve thanked the court for getting four years and gladly serve them, tormented by guilt. But her whole family sounds horrid so I guess apple and tree..
Yeah I agree, she was very very lucky. I do think she was in psychosis as well, which does make sentencing hard as when one is in psychosis they don't typically know right from wrong... I do still think she needed a longer sentence, maybe in a state hospital... but that also could be useless since it was temporary psychosis...
Sarah, I agree with you 💯!
Oh Sarah, say it louder! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
You are so gullible it's insane. She is a psychopath. It wasn't the weed. At all.
I’m absolutely livid about how this case has played out. I can only hope that karma will take care of her since the justice system clearly did not provide and justice whatsoever
Same
I always appreciate the stark no nonsense honesty that you share. You really leave out the bias and still make us feel connected by sharing your own story again, without bias. You are great Rachel. Also I think involuntary is just absolutely ridiculous. How do you involuntarily stab someone 108 times 😮🙄
This is so heartbreaking. I feel like she pretty much got away with murder.
Thank you for sharing these cases and being a voice for the victims. I love the channel.
That sounds more like a psychotic break than being too high from weed. I can't do THC it does make me sick
She is still responsible for his death...but I want to say that I had a very weird trippy experience one time from edible. I smoked before and was fine. Then one day I took edibles and I hallucinated and felt like I was going to die choking on air. My friends were laughing and in my head, they instead looked like a bunch of scary maniacs cackling and thoughts popping up in my head saying they wanted to hurt me. I was also blacking out finding myself in different rooms without knowing how I got there. So just letting you know that having a bad experience with marijuana can happen
I’ve also had some awful experiences with weed, including hallucinations. It’s terrible. But her actions still caused someone’s death, and she should be held a lot more responsible for that
The idea of a panic attack is intresting. People do not realize a anxiety attack and a panic attack are 2 different beast. Panic attacks come on quick and you are in fight, flight, freeze, therefore you actually become suspicious of everyone in front of you or think you are dying, that you are poisoned, having a heart attack or not even real sometimes. You can't breath your way out of it, you have to make yourself physically move out of the attack. People might not have anxiety but have rapid panic attacks out of no where because of cptsd and your body gets triggered by something your not aware of. But they last a short duration and you also remember everything. You dont go into a non cognitive state, you dont get super strength for a prolonged period from a panic attack. You are to busy convincing yourself your dying for like 10 min.
Rachel, thank you for this story I am not a weed smoker and never want to be but everyone is entitled to do what they wish.. but to blame the drugs on murdering a man with a knife… is utterly disgusting. 4 years! really! Over 100 times, no remorse! Really 4Years! No wonder people are killed everyday.. as there is no consequence!, My heart goes out to Chad’s father and family xx
Props Rachel, spot on with this. It’s insanity that this woman was charged with anything less than murder. For her family to basically try and call him a rapist when their perfect daughter butchered a completely innocent man is just plain evil and sick. I feel terrible for his family and that they had to watch this evil chick in court not shed a single tear for what she had done and just be worried about herself. I couldn’t live with myself if I did this to someone and especially someone I cared for. This one is insane.
I think her turning down the second hit does matter.Just becasue she said yes the first time doesn't take away the fact she said no the second time (if she really did). Consent can be revoked at any time over anything imo. I can also see why she might not show remorse if she really don't remember doing it. It could not feel real to her since she doesn't remember (if she really doesn't remember). Lots of drugs and medical drugs can and do have side effects. They just do. She might have done it with intent, but to me there's enough reasonable doubt I wouldn't have been able to find her guilty.
And I would have to disagree with you on that when I was in my twenties I smoked a lot and I've had episodes where I'm like tripping out feel like I can't breathe but to stab somebody over a hundred times that's a whole nother level of crazy and her sentence was a joke she murdered somebody off of two hits of weed let's be real here in my mid-50s and I don't smoke anymore but I have never heard of anybody killing someone from smoking pot
@@rachelrae860 Again, it might have been intentional, but based on what I saw, I wouldn't in good conscience, be able to find her guilty. My understanding is professionals on both sides said she had drug induced psychosis. At the very least a drug induced panic attack. Every one is different and handle drugs/ medications differently. It could have had a bad reaction with a new prescription for instance. It's not just side effects ,but side effects of side effects. imo the medical professionals findings would be enough for reasonable doubt for me considering they're actual professionals.
Both sides didn't have professionals saying she had psychosis. Only her side said that.@@kataschannel3472
lol she said no the second time and he forced her to inhale? how exactly do you force a person to inhale something 😂
@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim For starters peer pressure, intimidation, guilt tripping,playful friendly coaxing/ goading even. It doesn't have to be shoved in your face to be considered force. If she did say no the second time and it still happened there was some force/ coaxing/ antagonizing to some extent imo and that's reasonable doubt to me.
UPDATE: she only got probation which is RIDICULOUS! As she walked out of the sentencing she said I can’t believe they are making me do community service! She’s a horrible human being & should be in prison!
As someone who has taken a hit that was toooooo big and had a “bad trip”. All I did was have an anxiety attack and crawl into the couch and not move. I’ve never been violent under the influence. She’s responsible. No matter what. She did it.
Same thing happened to me. Not everyone reacts positively to weed- that’s obvious. But doesn’t excuse her actions
She made the conscious decision to smoke. I agree that she wouldn't take involuntary manslaughter telling of her character. I'm sure she is just worried about not being able to be a Dr anymore.... her victim doesn't have that choice. If she was truly having a weed psychosis it is sad, it's sad all around.
@@clarapayne05 yes 💯 only concerned for herself.
But that's assuming that e erybkdy will have the same response. Not everyone is you.
Why couldn't you control your sweet anxiety ma'am?
@@no_prisoners6474 she’s still responsible for her actions. 🙆🏻♀️
I'm an RN and I have witnessed drug induced psychosis... tis a frightening thing 😢
Such a sad story. Scary how this drug can have different reactions on people.
Enraging case. I feel so bad for his family.
This case is very sad, I think it’s aweful she will not take responsibility for this, all about her, what about chad? She murdered him, even if she was in a psychosis she still has to be held accountable
That’s what makes me feel like she isn’t telling the full truth
@@Boing2699exactly
She really thought she could walk away from stabbing someone 100 times! She practically did... And still had the nerve to feel sorry for herself! 🤬
I am highly allergic to marijuana. I smoked once when I was 15 and was hospitalized. My brother also has a reaction but his is something like what Bryn experienced including hallucinations and paranoia.
What her parents tried to insinuate about Chad is diabolical and shameful! She has no remorse which absolutely makes me sick. I think she failed to give herself enough time after the first hit for it to work and then took a second. I'm so angry at her and her family! In my opinion the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
My heart goes out to Chad, his family and friends. He sounds like an amazing person and I'm so sorry for your loss.
I believe that if you choose to take a drug, at that very moment, you are also choosing to accept everything that comes with taking that drug.
I hope she can realize the pain that this has caused to a family , community and friends of this young man.
Marijuana psychosis is a real thing, absolutely. But I have NEVER heard of an instance where someone was immediately in a state where they had absolutely no control over themselves- even in cases where the marijuana was laced. I think maybe she was having an episode of psychosis, but she absolutely knew she was harming Chad at the very least, and probably knew her actions were going to kill him. It’s strange that she “blacked out” but remembered very clearly that Chad “forced her” to take that hit. It’s strange that she seemed to have immediately mentioned that she was “forced” to take that hit (even though she could have just only put the smoke in her mouth and not inhaled if she was being “forced”) instead of asking about Chad or her service dog. It’s strange that her psychosis was 100% gone when she woke up- I usually hear about it lingering a bit in some form or another. And even IF her story was 100% true- why the hell didn’t she feel bad enough to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter??? Involuntary manslaughter was SUCH a good deal for her. Better than she probably deserved. And she wanted to fight it because??? Did she feel like the victim here? The fact the at she stabbed Chad *so many* times and only stabbed her dog *once* and didn’t stab chad’s dog at all or any of his roommates really make me feel like MAYBE (just maybe) she gave her dog a shallow stab wound somewhere just to make it look less targeted and like she was out of her mind at the time. Like “look, I stabbed my dog, so I HAD to be under a horrible violent psychosis.” She doesn’t seem sorry at all, her story is sketchy as best, and she immediately started essentially blaming Chad for his own death. If this was just psychosis she would have felt so horribly guilty after. Not only does she not feel guilty, but she even blames Chad for some of this… She is not telling the full truth.
I just had a pot psychosis- lost
My fricken mind- thought I was dying and the man friend I was with I thought he slipped me a Mickey ( had no idea the gummie was pit- he said it was a vitamin but later he said he was joking- it was in a vitamin container- anyway- I felt resduaps three days later up all night and I to the next.. felt so awful. I’m pale still from it and feel weak. But
My mind came back about eight hours later. I spent a ton of time alone outside - I grounded myself and that helped ALOT! Btw- it took my friend Two hours to admit it was pot gummy- he figured I knew😱😱😱😱😱so I thought I was just dying and going crazy at the same time. I did think about killing myself but not him. I just wanted to get out of the house and be outside. I was so freaked out.
@@sourcehauntings8851
That's extremely sketch. I'm betting there was more in those gummies than just thc.
She's a monster and she got a PUSSY PASS. This has nothing to do with weed. She got off because she's a wo-MAN
I agree she was in a state of psychosis, but she stilled killed a person after all. However, that doesn't mean she INTENDED on murdering him. 2nd degree, but with a long sentence from how brutal it was and how she's not recognizing the death of a person.
How can you trust the system with cases like this. No trust from the people.
What an incredibly sad story. On so many levels.
The fact that she didn't stop when the police showed up and tased her, and that she attacked her dog and herself, makes me believe that she was truly suffering from psychosis and was not in her right mind. However, her lack of remorse, victim blaming, and the response from her parents speak volumes about her character. Legally speaking, I'm not sure if THC-induced psychosis qualifies as not guilty by reason of insanity or not. I know being intoxicated is not a defense, but drug-induced psychosis is different. I'm on the fence about her criminal culpability, but I do think that Chad's family could have a strong civil case against her. She did cause his death (even if it wasnt intentional) and she and her parents also defamed his character. My heart does go out to Chad's loved ones. I hope they can find some peace and comfort in all their grief.
I actually knew Chad pretty well in college. We had some classes together and we would go out for drinks at Chico state. He was a really sweet guy and very hard-working, he got his CPA right after college. It’s really sad news to hear that she wasn’t charged with any jail time because if it was the other way around, he would be in prison for a long time. RIP Chad ❤
She got 2 years probation!! OMG !!!
I just found your channel yesterday, and I really enjoy your content. You seem like you genuinely care about the people in the cases, and that's rare. Please keep it up!!
Welcome, thanks for watching :)
She got a 100 hours community service smh
I’m flabbergasted by the way this case has been handled. Im grossed out by it to be frank! She wouldn’t even plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter!?! Like, WHAT??? I don’t care if she did say she didn’t want another hit or not. She obviously took the second hit. You cannot force someone to smoke something, or to inhale it! But regardless of the second hit, she DID make the decision to smoke marijuana. She even admitted it. Period. I do believe she could have been going through a drug induced psychosis. It’s definitely possible. However, she should have been charged with voluntary manslaughter at the VERY least! And the fact that her charge was lowered is a crying shame! Then on top of that, she wouldn’t even plead guilty! What a selfish woman! I’m SO SORRY for Chad, his family and everyone who loved him! I feel like they’ve been let down by our justice system! I know that this affects Brynn’s family, too, and I do feel for them as well. But she has to pay the consequences of her actions. Period. Everyone does, or should…
Bryn's parents saying maybe it was a good thing their daughter MURDERED Chad so he couldn't go on to hurt other women?!?!?! WTF?? How fucking dare they. He hadn't hurt ANYONE. I am astounded. How fucking dare they
She couldn't remember but new he forced her to take second hit. This is insane.
Not really. The second hit is what caused the psychotic break.
I’m surprised she doesn’t have more followers… she did a great job explaining things!!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!
Merry Christmas to you as well!
thank you!
Hello Rachel thanks for sharing this tragic story.❤
I cant believe this narcissistic chick!? Its like she doesn't even care or feel bad at all!!!? To even imply that he tried to force himself on her when she KNEW him is just awful...what a complelty heartless EVIL person, i hope they reopen this case and she gets LIFE in prison
This whole situation sounds like something out of a horror movie. I can’t imagine the shock of the roommate. And poor Chad😞
I am the roomate Vini , this whole situation is so hard , justice will be brought ...
So sorry for your loss and no real justice 💔
As someone that used to smoke every single day for 10 years but had to stop because I now get anxious smoking weed, this is completely on her.
It’s always a good workday when Rachel Shannon uploads a video 🥰🥰
I feel so bad for Chad's family. She should've been held more accountable. It wasn't just involuntary manslaughter. I feel like the jury wasn't given a choice by the judge to punish her more.
It really sounds like she was in a psychotic break. Induced by the thc… she even stabbed her doggy. This is such a sad story
As someone who has smoked weed daily since 13 now 33.. I gotta say, I’m shocked.
This is like an early Christmas. Thank you for all your hard work and amazing content as usual ❤❤❤
Of course! Thank you for watching!
My ex boyfriend was roomates with the man Chad... such a sad sad story ..
I have not tried love and pies yet but a few of you true crime creators have got me hooked on June's journey... I love it I've only been playing bout 26 days bit it's awesome. Now ima have 2 try love and pies!!!
A 23 girl from my town was pulling out of an alley and onto a 50mph blvd with some overgrown tree branches obstructing the view. A motocycle cop was headed to a call going 65 (15 mph over the limit). His lights were on but he didnt engage his siren. He t-boned her car and he was thrown from his bike, killing him instantly. She had smoked marijuana the day before and since it showed up in her system she was given a d.u.i. (this was before they legalized it in my state and didn't have a way to measure how much was smoked and when).
The d.a. ended up pressing charges and in the end she was given 10yrs in prison. She served 8 of the 10 and has been out for a few years.
So for someone to stab someone over 100 times and not serve time? That's just insane.
You did a phenomenal job!!! ❤
I’m so paranoid when high. This is why I haven’t got high since the late 90’s. Certain people like myself can get paranoid/delusional when high. It’s best to know yourself well and don’t do anything that you know is no good for you. R.I.P. Chad
I can't imagine not feeling horrified at finding yourself capable of something like this. Even if drug induced, this was BRUTAL. It involved repeated use of a weapon. She not only ended a life, but obliterated it. And if not REMORSE, she cant even feel HORROR that she did this? Insane
If I smoked and say, robbed a bank, that wouldn’t make me less responsible or lessen my charges. Why should it be any different in cases of murder?
She belongs in prison
People in this country really need to own up for their actions instead blaming everything else and everyone they can
Their so little morals now days
This story is crazy - I’ve never heard of this case before
Horrific.
The worst is when you're not drunk but everyone else is. 😂😂😂😂 Or Lord it's terrrible 😂😂😂😂
This is the most bizarre story I have ever heard
Very bizarre indeed
That poor dog!!!!!!Just doing her job. She was so scared.😢😢😢😢. All over some stupid drugs.
I’ve had such similar experiences with weed… I mean, nothing like this in terms of what happened, but the paranoia and psychosis-type experiences where I was not in reality at all… I had smoked several times in the past and then when I moved to Cali I remember I took a big inhale from a large bong and held it in and I went to lay down thinking I’d feel nice, but I ended up seeing my life flash before my eyes like a movie in weird frames like things that I don’t even know happened, things from childhood, everything, and I felt like certain parts of my body were becoming numb, I threw up, had to drink like 20 bottles of water because it felt like my throat was burning, and so much more. I know my limits now and to always start with less. But I never could’ve imagined weed could be this insane and powerful. It has never made me violent, I just would always lay down, but I definitely believe weed alone can induce really wild behaviors and thoughts and actions… but when something like this happens, it’s just a really unfortunate situation because a life was lost… so she is 100% responsible.
This was a heartbreaking case. 😔 IMHO she should be charged, consuming alcohol/drugs should not exempt her from her responsibility. How should Chad’s family get justice then? 🥺
Best is NOT to take this rubbish!
Rachel this case was so senseless..NO EXCUSE FOR MURDER, EXCEPT IN SELF-DEFENSE...THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK,,RESEARCH AND DEDICATION...YOU'RE SUCH A LOVELY. AND BEAUTIFUL LADY.
YOUR VOICE IS VERY RELAXING AND PLEASANT............PAMELA
🎉
She should be in prison for the rest of her life
WHAAAAA!!! This case sounds crazy. Never heard of it 😣
I have never seen anyone get violent while smoking weed
And then there is me.. Never taste any alcohol.. Or cigarettes in my whole life.. I don't even know how does those taste like😂😂😂
No, I 100% agree with you. I’m disgusted by her and her family. It’s her not taking any responsibility that just makes me hate this case. At least show some remorse. People can be so selfish and heartless
I ate 2 weed chocolate pretzels, they were so small but deadly. I thought I was dying, I thought people were going to kill me, I thought I was going to kill people, it was horrible and I will never ever do that again.
But I do believe she needs to take responsibility.
Good morning. Im watching this Before work
There has been a bunch of bizarre cases involving ppl smoking. It has to be laced with something like ‘spice’ or another chemical additive.
