I’ve noticed a lot of kids stand by the murdering parent. I think part of it is that they stand by the only parent they have left and it’s too painful to accept reality.
I agree completely.
Dad was always thier favorite
Dr Grande’s humor is therapeutic in the late night hours.
I always appreciate the firearm tutorials that Dr. Grande gives in addition to his analysis of the crime.
On Tiger Woods crashing his car in the Ward's high end Florida neighborhood : "...Either he crashed into the Fire hydrant, or the fire hydrant jumped in front of him..." DANG those renegade fire hydrants! You go Dr. Grande!
I NEVER understood when people, trying to avoid a much lesser charge, will commit murder in order to avoid the initial charge... So instead they get convicted for murder. Makes NO sense but it happens all the time
I think analytical thinking and even simple maths go out the window when some people are faced with prison. And not even prison, but the shame of people knowing what they did. They forget that murder in the US carries a much longer sentence than stiffing their creditors (unless it's industrial scale stiffing like Bernie Madoff).
Its the double or nothing idea. But that doesn't quite apply here because this probably wasn't premeditated.
Dr. Grande, you bring out a point in this video that I often speak about with people in general. Your last point about people being all good or all bad rather than a more nuanced view. People can do things even in a moment that don't define their entire identity and existence. We all tend to understand this about ourselves in self evaluation, but we do not evaluate others in a nuanced way. We cut ourselves a lot of slack trying to understand an action while we cast aspersions on others for their bad acts. It is possible to be a good father but a bad husband. Divorce courts are full of these situations. No one really knows what happened on that tragic night. Both people had good and less desirable traits and a mixture of good and bad acts over a lifetime. Intentions are difficult to evaluate in another person. Great analysis, as usual, Dr. Grande.
Well said
Grande is the bomb diggy. My recent transition to night owlism has been a blessing. Nothing better than murderous case studies to soothe the mind at night (and put me on all kinds of surveillance lists). Thanks Doc!
LOL! Loved your comment! Im a night owl too, so i go to Dr Grande's older college course case studies, and listen to his voice as i drift off to sleep. His patreon is like having another fully loaded "Dr Grande Channel" so i go there a lot too. Hope you have a great night.. Sending hugs from Las Vegas!
Grande is the bomb diggity! 🤣 I haven heard that one in a long time. So funny! I agree! The late night murder cases are like bedtime stories to me, now. Love the night Owl crowd! 🦉
@@BucketHeadianHagg Hi Bucket Head! 👋 Great to see you, again, beautiful! BTW, I finished all your ice cream! 😁
🌷⚘🌹🥰😋❤
@@BucketHeadianHagg yup same here and when I run out of my Patreon videos, I move to Grande Media channel where I enjoy even more long term videos. It’s my favorite nightly routine.
@@moonstruck562 im so glad we have this channel.. I've made some really cool friends here, and I get a lot of insight into my own psychology while being entertained! Have an excellent weekend! Hugs from Las Vegas!
“Dogs have been known to steal treats…what’s to keep them from stepping up to forgery?”
Can confirm. My dog once stole an entire grilled chicken breast off our kitchen counter. I shall henceforth strive to keep all pens and paper well out of the reach of her furry, forging paws.
😅🤣
Cats excel at forgery. Can dogs be far behind?
Damn you, McRuff!
Son Of Sam is REAL!
Once my dog snuck up to the counter and stole the meat and cheese out of the inside of a sandwich. Left the bread untouched.
Excellent point on this idea that we tend to classify people on all good vs all bad category. I think when strong emotions are involved, this is quite common. Whenever we love someone dearly it’s very difficult to reconcile with the fact that they can do horrible things or when we truly dislike someone it’s also difficult to acknowledge that they can also have great qualities.
Wonderful job, thank you Dr. Grande.❤️
very well said.
As someone who has introduced many people to firearms, revolvers don’t have a learning curve when it comes to shooting. In fact, most firearms are straightforward enough that even someone with no prior experience can do it. That being said, I still think he’s guilty, not her.
Imagine this situation without a gun. Divorce maybe?
@@LadyLuck13 you misread and misinterpreted his entire comment. And suggesting he should be shot is pretty warped.
Oh wow! A new video to watch with ice cream and crushed cookies before bed! Thank you, Dr Grande!
That sound yummy! 😋 You got another there spoon, girlfriend? 🥰😍🌹🌷❤😍 🍧🍧
@@LDiamondz I have a whole bowl for you, my darling friend! And there's a bunch love stirred in, too! Hug, hug, HUGS on you!! ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 💘 ❤
@@BucketHeadianHagg Cool! Just the way I like it! Hugs n hugs back on YOU! You're so cool! 😍🤩🥰🌹🌹⚘⚘🌷🌷
(most wholesome murder case conversation I've ever seen)
@zacharysherry2910 😇 come sit next to me and have some!
I wonder if Dr. Grande has nightmares where people make accusations that the signature on his doctorate looks suspiciously like it was made by someone with a paw instead of a hand.
🐶😂
😄😄
Its 3:52 am here, insomnia has kicked me hard this week. You amaze me Dr., I don't think you ever rest. Don't you ever kick back and do nothing?? I think you're a covert workaholic. 🙂 regardless thanks for your dedication to your craft.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😘🙂💚
I'm glad I found this channel. I love the Doc's analyses and sense of humor. I was hoping one day you could take a look at the case of Terry Rasmussen the chameleon killer
He’s definitely done that
Yup I remember the name, he's done it.
@@MsSwitchblade13 I don't see it in his playlist
I couldn't find it either.
@@Epicmango7 🤔 Hmm maybe I'm thinking of That Chapter
The Tiger Woods Fire hydrant. What a classic. It certainly sets the scene for the volatile burbs. I do remember it was sunny that day.
The way this Couple maneuvered themselves into a House they could not afford...with excess drugs and alcohol...and guns in the house...sounds like they were almost planning a long slow suicide. Changing your story after the fact several times also helps your legal case so much.
Thank you for yet another easy to digest analysis!! It’s great to have your channel to watch at the wee early hours when my insomnia insists I must be awake. Hope you’re well, Dr. Grande!!
Love the fire hydrant pulled out in front of Tiger Woods🤣🤣
After the whole Tiger debacle, I did have a chance to see him in Abu Dhabi at a golf tournament there where he was paid a cool million as a show up fee. Anyway, the dude still brings so much snap crackle and pop to these golf events.
Many thanks Dr. G. Your dry sense of humor strikes again!🤣
I think the alcohol played a big part in all this. They were both at the end of their rope, fighting, & yelling over their financial predicament. Things got out of control & he shot her.
Hey thanks Dr. G. Your nite owl friends and the other side of the pondsters are loving this. Your cocoa is almost ready!
Just goes to show how life can change so quickly..LOVE watching a new vid while I get ready for work!❤t/y
I think your theory on what may have happened is pretty on point but I think he may have retrieved the gun to threaten to commit suicide because she wasn't willing to lie for him on the stand. He probably said, "O.k then I should just kill myself now then". That situation just went south and he ended up just killing her in the heat of the moment. 2nd-degree murder for sure.
Good argument for gun control legislation... Could have been a poke in the eye a sharp stick.
@@seivaDsugnA Then after that we can work on our sharp stick legislation. Anything with a point on it is illegal. I mean, we can't trust all these stupid people to be responsible for themselves and their actions. We need a nanny state to coddle all the idiots and save them from themselves. Because you and I know what is right and just, and should be in control of the plebs out there too stupid to own dangerous things and not kill or maim everyone in their path?
In reality, if this guy really wanted to kill his wife, not owning a gun wouldn't stop him. It wouldn't stop me. It is probably a lot easier to get away with too.
Then again, we don't know that she wasn't willing to testify in her husbands defense. After all, she stood to gain from whatever they did together.
@@davel7014 Yeah, for sure. It really is all just speculation. Could have went a number of ways. But when two people have that much drugs and alcohol in their system you never know how they're thinking. LOL
I got to watch this on hubby’s wide HD screen. 😻
My favorite part is the fire arm information. I wonder if the prosecution or defense knew, as you know, that she would not have been able to accidentally squeeze the trigger, due to that gun’s construction . ❤️
"...mostly because of the murder part." This made me laugh aloud! Thank you, again, for giving us the firearm details; that makes a huge difference in the analysis of the case regardless of how Bob may have wanted to explain his suppressed hysteria and word fumbles when he engaged the 911 dispatcher. Children are usually the last to know the secrets of their parents' marriage, and that is not necessarily a bad thing.
What a brilliant analysis - no stone unturned! Those girls were always daddy's girls. Big lesson for everyone - live a simple lifestyle no matter your worth. And yes pills alcohol guns and financial difficulty spells violence. Women at a much higher percentage die at the hand of their domestic partner. Get out when you can!
Disturbing case, Dr. Grande. Thank you for your precise analysis. Money and guns always pose huge problems for people. "Thou shalt not kill" comes to mind, especially when it involves shooting your wife at point blank range in the face. Not ironic that Bob ends up serving a longer sentence in the big house.
If the dogs forged that 'supposed' suicide note, you know the cat manipulated them into doing it! Then sat in the corner smiling as it watched. 😹 Cats are sneaky smart. 😼 Dogs just be chasing their own tails and drooling. 🐶 🤤
Thanks for another Night Owl edition of the show, Dr.Grande! We love it! And you, too, of course! 💜
Yup.
Cats rule.
Dogs drool.
But dogs do things without intent! Don't blame the cat cuz he didn't care lol
@@GoodnightJLH Yup. My dog is a drooly sweetheart, he loves me so much. ❤ My cat loves me, too, but only when she wants something. (I can't say anything more about the cat. She's reading over my shoulder.) 😬
@@truenokill True, I shouldn't have blame the cat.
They'll EAT you if you DIE, you know! 🍽 😼🧂
@@LDiamondz
You are wise to avoid disparaging your cat.
My cats require that I worship them as befits their Royal status.
What as awful scenario, in my opinion this man killed his wife, it's suspected that upcoming deposition. I agree with everything you said at the end of your analysis. I'm pleased he will have prison time. Thank you Dr Grande. Brilliant analysis and topic. Dr Grande you definitely are the best.
Excellent comment, as usual, lovely one! ❤ I also found it strange that he put the gun back in the night stand after the shooting! Who does that, if they shoot someone by accident? Great to see you, my friend! 🥰 I hope you and your family are all well and as awesome as ever! ⚘⚘⚘🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹❤
@@LDiamondz Thank you lovely girl, for some reason, keep missing you 😜❤💙💚💖
@@cottontails9003 I know! ❤ I'm so glad to see you here! I don't think I've been getting all my notifications. Plus, this is the second time I'm replying to this. First one disappeared! Oh, I hope my ac- count is OK. 😬 I've missed you, lovely one! I hope you are doing well! ~hugs~ ❤🧡🤎💛💙💜💙💚🤍🖤🌹🌹🥀🥀🌷🌷⚘⚘☘☘
Another great well laid out video from the Incredible Dr. G! Sad, but maybe we can learn a few things from it. I ❤️ the sound of your voice so much Dr. Grande- it's SO SOOTHING even when you're talking about sad or disturbing things somehow. Smooth like butter...several of us were saying we're addicted to your voice, we may start a support group for Grande Addicts!! Lol 😂 Jk, but you do have a perfect voice for videos, radio, or would be great for like guideded meditation or hypnosis. I'm very sure you've heard that MANY TIMES. I Like to try to go to sleep to the sound of your voice these days, and it's a special treat, so thank you Dr.!! 🤤🥰😉
I agree about his voice. It’s basically unintentional ASMR. And that’s really a thing, BTW.
I hope your channel continues to grow, Dr. Grande! Nobody else can do what you do.
👍🏼👍🏼🏆
The story where a wealthy Toronto couple was tied up and murdered in their home in the pool area. That would be an interesting one for Grande to cover for us … maybe it’s in his queue.
Your analysis is more intriguing and very thoughtful,
Thank you, Dr. Grande.
Just in time!! I was looking for something cool to watch, thanks Dr. Grande!
Great analysis. Appreciate the humor .... subtle delivery as well!
As always interesting.
Always love the humor.
Never got math.
Thank you.
Peace 💕🇺🇲
At least my ex didnt murder me, I guess that's a bright spot in our divorce...beside getting divorced. Oddly, this episode perked me up. Thanks!
You're totally right, the brightest side of getting a divorce is the ability to even get it in the first place. - fellow divorcee :)
I served a number of divorce papers during my time as a Deputy Sheriff. 99% of the time, the recipient was happy . Many said "thank God it was over, or ending". Rarely did they express anger or remorse. Just relief.
Your thoughts on the daughter's loyalty to him was brilliant!
" he was not a good husband.. Mostly because of the murder part" 🤣🤣
Dr. G. the takeaway I've gotten from your videos is... Don't ever think someone pointing a gun at you isn't going to shoot, regardless of who they are. It's better to deescalate, walk away. 🚶🏻♀️
Your channel is my go to for first thing in the morning with coffee thanks! Omg the humor lets not forget the humor
Greetings from Greece everyone 💙
💜👏🏼👏🏼
Good morning Dr. G! Another informative post to accompany insomnia in Chicago…a nice surprise. Thank you!
Excellent analysis as always Dr. Grande!
I just recently heard the 911 call from him to the dispatcher. I wondered what happened to him afterwards. In the call he almost laughs at one point and tries to call his lawyer while on the 911 call. It was a strange call. Thank you for this Dr. Grande.
Love your subtle humor.
Brilliant explanation Dr Grande.
The process part vs outcome using solving for x variable in algebra as example was illuminating. Liked that as one possible explanation of Bob’s daughters’ support of him. Thanks Dr. Grande.
You're so awesome Dr G. Belated congratulations!!
Love Dr. Grande's videos !
What a sad but interesting case! It always strikes me whenever I hear of people that are incredibly wealthy, but still live far beyond their financial means, and end up financially ruined.
Your knowledge of weapons is impressive, Dr. Grande!
Also, I have to add that you look very handsome!
Nice to wake up to a new upload. Thanks for that! 😊
This is probably (for me) the most riveting case you've presented so far. At the start, I was sure that it was an accident, but the double vs. single action details convinced me. This gun couldn't have been fired accidentally in the course of a drunken brawl. But the family dynamics are even more interesting for me personally. I come from a vaguely similar family constellation. No alcohol and no open aggression involved, but a clinging, complaining, depressive, controlling, over protective wife and an angel of a father. (I've never watched an argument between my parents, mind you, but then, he was an angel. In any other respect he was far from a weakling, in fact, he had extraordinary physical and moral courage.) In my teens, and maybe even later (he died when I was 26), I often phantasized how it would be if she would "vanish" (no death wish involved, if memory serves) and I'd be alone with him. I'll never see 70 again by now and he would be 110 this year, but I know that I would have done exactly the same in such a situation as Bob's daughters, even if I'd known that he'd done it. My heart goes out (a phrase I rarely use) to those young women.
Excellent analysis, Dr. Grande! Especially in regards to why his daughters were so supportive of him and couldn't believe he had killed their mother. Also.....the fire hydrant totally jump in front of Tiger Woods' car! 😂
Doesn't matter how late it is here, I see Dr Grande's new video notification, I jump in...
Late night videos are the best.
i know! I was having cookies and ice cream before bed just as this video dropped!
lol I love your dry humor, very much appreciated.
Thank you for the video.
"I Didn't Do This, And I Don't Know Who Did Do It But I'm Sure Someone Did Do It Because Guns Don't Kill People, People Kill People": "Bob" Ward has been convicted twice in the manslaughter/second-degree trials concerning the Death of his wife, Diane Ward. In court their daughter Sarah pleaded for her father's freedom before Judge Marques. We must ask,"Freedom to do more killing?" Bob Ward is obviously intelligent, but not very bright. As a professional necrologist I will make the following claims: (1) Everyone eventually dies, but some people die as the result of guns being fired; (2) Bob Ward is not an expert with firearms but now that's he's been sentenced to life in prison he'll have time to catch up on how to use firearms properly; (3) Finally Death is having a wonderful time with all this information. Sometimes I'm thinking that human lives are merely entertaining episodes in Death's stories. Thanks for reading, enjoy what remains of your life.
Dr G and JP: flip sides of a rational (and hugely appreciated) coin. ❤️
Thanx doc, was wondering if you would cover this case ...✌🏻😎
2am n digging this
That process analogy is brilliant
Could you do an analysis of the late British folk singer, Sandy Denny? There are a lot of interesting things there to cover.
Rogue fire hydrants....Dr. Grande, you crack me up!
Interesting thoughts, good analysis & jokes. He sure looked older than 61. Thanks Dr G😊💕💕
talk about timing, just got back home from work, and !!!!! Dr Grande video!!! Cheers for that!!! had a shit day, now im a bit more happy :)
Love your analysis and I was wondering if one day you can analyze the tawana brawley case? I would be very interested in what you think happened
I'm quite sure most severely depressed people have written those notes. I know I have...many of them throughout my life. This is one of those cases that really drives home the "money doesn't buy happiness" saying.
Thanks for such a thorough analysis, Dr Grande.
Tbf it was losing the money that caused the problems.
@@eadweard. true. true. I'd just like to SEE if money would buy happiness for me. lol
9:00 yikes, a 12 lb double action trigger pull sounds horrible! I bought my two favorite guns mostly because I loved the triggers. The last one I got has about a 1.5 lb single action only pull, and it's amazing. I can't wait to use it at competitions!
I really like how Dr. Grande includes those gun details!
Looks like Tiger's Caddy just couldn't help get him through the water or the woods! 😆
Love ya, Dr. G! Have a great weekend! 😘
You can always count on Dr. Grande to have extensive gun knowledge and make you laugh.
8 to 10 lbs trigger pull weight in double action is the estimated range of weight for the S&W 357. Now that's an estimation and may not be the actual weight because the trigger weight can be modified to be easier or harder to pull depending on the owners preference. I'm sure the DA took and had it texted and if they did not bring the weight up during trial then you can bet your ass the trigger weight was modified to a way lighter pull than the estimated range. Another point I'm curious about is which person hands had gun powder residue on them and if both had it then use science and fact's to determine what the gun powder residue looks like when someone shoots themselves compared to being shot by someone and holding your hands in a defensive posture!
Dr. G mentioned that the victim had one spot of GSR on her and the husband didn’t have any GSR but could have washed it off.
It sounds like she was extremely impaired. Job well done Dr.Grande!!!
My poodle Francois Pierre has taught himself how to steer my golf cart, who knows maybe next he will figure out how to do some forgery? I loved the way you suggested the math teacher and students thought process. It made so much sense. Thank you again Dr. Grande. Take care. 🐩👨🏻🔬🌵
Good analysis as always. You should look into the Mark Barton case, i think it would make for a good video.
Dr Grande had me dying when “the gun is now upside down” physics lessons now lmaoooo
Gun Struggle Mansion Murder - yet another brilliant metal band name idea courtesy of Dr. Grande.
“Moving from his big house, to THE Big House.” 😆👍🏻
Not sure I approve.
🌵🌺🙌cool analysis as always !
Of course the kids support their father, they want to stay in the will for his multi-million dollar estate. How they really feel remains a mystery.
Dr. G. obviously has a scary great knowledge of firearms and ammunition!! Double down analysis!!! :>) Jim C.
Saturday Night Live should create a recurring skit about Dr. Grande. Where instead of being so deadpan, he loses his cool and says, “WTF?! What kind of idiot is Bob?”!!! Etc, etc.
Maybe you should write it and send it in.
Start by writing an outline.
Dr.Grande can you analyze the Jussie Smollet hearing? 🙃
Dr. Grande, now that the verdict is out, you have to do an analysis of Kim Blandino!
This case reminds me of the Michael Peterson case in a lot of ways. But I thought a wife could not be compelled to testify against her spouse? One day Dr Grande will give us a gun lesson like he did about his car knowledge some time ago. I’ve been waiting for that! 🤠💕
Hello Debbie, how are you doing today?
Hey, Doc! Please give us an analysis of Black Alien Project
.
I really dig your knowledge of firearms. Years ago, I was a NRA certified instructor.
You’re a really smart guy Dr Grande. You see right though all the smoke and mirrors
Please cover family killer, Jeffrey MacDonald?
Dr Grande, can you please take a look at a New Zealand mystery that took place on new years eve 98/99 in the Marlborough Sounds. It centered on the disappearance of two young people
Excellent video 📹
CHAPTER 11 MELTDOWN
Being a 'husband' is a lost art in most parts of the world.
The word 'husband' is also a verb.
A husband must maintain dignity and honour in front of his spouse.
Bankruptcy is a shameful process.
The wife just wanted a home 🏡 with her beloved horses 🐎 .
To get your wife to commit perjury and fraud a a 'court of law ' is not only shameful but extremely stressful 😫.
Poor lady! Wonderful analysis as usual Doc👏 my cat stole a barbeque chicken from a neighbour's grill one night, the thing was bigger than her!
Hahaha! Very good and funny analysis!
He deserves the thirty years but it isn't just that the six years already served wasn't deducted from it.
Any thoughts on the Goldwater Rule Dr. Grande?
I've said I've killed my family before now, meaning I felt guilty for not recognising how ill they were. Sometimes we say things that aren't literal!!
Can you please talk about the case of west brothers?
I have a j frame 357 just like that except it has an exposed hammer. It does kick with 357s not so much with 38s.
Well…the jury can absolutely use his silence to think whatever they want to.
What sucks about trials and crime in general, is how families of the suspect are always blindly defensive.
I think Dr. Grande just covers cases he's interested in and just says people ask him to cover it lol
🤣👏🏼
