It's weird how some people think a minor can't manipulate an adult, especially when both are young and immature. Now that doesn't excuse any actions of the adult, but people act like it's impossible or doesn't exist. There have been a number of cases of teens manipulating a partner into wiping out their family for them. Again it isn't in anyway an excuse for the adult, but it is a real thing that happens.
You're right. The fact that Kenneth vomited during the homicide shows that he was probably repulsed by the act, but had to go along with the plan, just to please Jenna
@avis8943 It is just speculation on my part, but it could be that Jenna Oakley was never told, "No!" by her biological parents, until her father married her stepmother, the focus of much of her hostility and murderous ideation. All children need boundaries to make them feel loved and secure. When parents abdicate their responsibility to supervise, guide, and protect their children from themselves and others, things go downhill fast. When there is a total lack of leadership within a unified or a broken family, there will be a reversal of roles in the child-parent relationship. In trying to be a friend and peer on par with their offspring, not respected authoritative heads of households, permissive parents ply the process of effective communications, cooperation, collaboration, coordination, correction, commitment, and compromise with anarchy. A team of spooked horses with the bit in their mouths pulling a stagecoach of frightened and screaming passengers over a cliff by not heeding the stagecoach driver's desperate attempts to pull up the reigns and stop them or to force them to stay on the road to safety is the best analogy I have of the stages of neural development (i.e., neurogenesis, migration, differentiation and myelination, synaptogenesis, and pruning) of children going into and through puberty. Without proper leadership during this crazy-making time, people's brains stay in a state of immature arrested development, while their bodies superficially appear more mature as they go through transformation into secondary sex characteristics. That is why there are mandatory reporting laws for such things as statutory rape, etc.

It's scary that so many children grow up without a moral compass to the point where taking a life seems like a possibility, and then they take it a step further. It appears that nobody cared for her when she needed to be cared for the most.
Totally, it means so much to me. When I've liked other channels that changed, I can't handle it and end up not watching them anymore, even though they're good.
I kind of wish he would stop starting with, "Today's question is..." and just change to, "Today's topic is..." 5 or 6 years ago, before turning to true-crime / pop-culture, he really answered listener questions. Then it made more sense to start with, "today's question is...". I love the true-crime / pop-culture topics though.
Only 15 years? Unacceptable. Her stepmother had her life taken away so brutally and she only gets 15 years? The justice system is so freaking messed up. If someone murdered me and they only got a slap on the wrist like she got, then I would haunt not only the murderer but the people who helped them get such a light sentence.
Awful to think, even if she does 15 years, she'll still be a young woman, able to have children, which won't turn out well for them given her terrible childhood, and murdering so easily. It's doubtful prison will improve her in any way.
“She wanted to live in a world in which her family didn’t exist, she’ll have to settle for a world where she doesn’t exist to her family” ☠️ that’s why I watch your videos, heaps of insight with a few tablespoons of savagery😂
Many people live in bad homes. Unless she was getting hurt, she should have not blatantly planned on killing someone. She should have been given a longer sentence. I fear she has issues that will remanifest after she is released.
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! Your true fans love your humor and sarcasm.

There is a reflex sometimes to treat children purely as results of parenting and home life, especially among those who dont have the experience of raising children. But the fact is, they are little people of their own and particularly as they approach adulthood, they can make some very bad choices and embrace awful beliefs on their own. Not saying her home life was good here, but she did have agency. If the young man had not been secreted in there, and she had gone to school, this would not have happened in the way it did.
Dr Grande, could you please analyse the horrific murder of 12-year-old French schoolgirl Lola Daviet - or, rather, the pyschology of her murderer? It's a truly shocking, heartbraking case that traumatised France a year ago... And sadly, Lola's father just passed away, almost 1 year to the day after his daughter. May they both rest in peace!
Did I miss the Mrs. Grande Valentine's Day edition? Is that not a holiday she decorates for? I enjoy the Dr.'s analyses, but I know we all eagerly await the next holiday décor tour.
Dr Grande! Can you please make a video about the "Von Erich Curse?". Its the subject of the recent movie "The Iron Claw" starring Zac Efron. Incredibly tragic story and great film!
I knew this girl. Everyone reported her to the counciler office for saying messed up violent things and no one at Boyle county High school did anything.
Where was CPS when theses kids were living in piss, feces, with rats and roaches? Seems like that kid and her brother should have been made wards of the state and sent to foster care.
I feel bad for the step mother but I have less sympathy for the father. Where were you those 15 yrs when your daughter was living such a traumatic and terrible life? Whatever he was doing it wasn’t anywhere near enough.
Depending on the state, the fathers sometimes cannot do much if the mother has custody and can show "good enough" of an environment when she is visited. In CA, the child can live on the street. If the mom has a room simply available, the dad still cannot get custody or help the child. So freaking messed up.
@@hannahmitchell87 YES. All she had to do was show that she had a room for the daughter. Then she could collect child support and the dad was left going out of his mind with worry bc the daughter is on the street. Daughter is almost 30 now and "off drugs"... sees how that was messed up but still is moms BFF. It is confusing to me.
Dr. Grande, Would you consider doing an analysis of the woman who left her 16 mo. old home alone for 10 days while she went on vacation? This case bothers me deeply as I cannot imagine what the heartless mother was thinking,
To be fair, I don't think I want to know anymore about that one. From the little I've read about the case it hurts my heart too much. I'd avoid it learning more.

As someone who went to school with Kenneth, meeting Jenna wasnt the start of his downfall. He was always tonally neurotic as if he had no direction and sadly Jenna was the catalyst for a point in no return 😢
This is a very dangerous individual. She should never be allowed to see the light of day. I think giving her 15 years is ridiculous. It should have been life without parole.
Man, 14-16yo is an age where a humans mind can REALLY lie to them. A kids in the neighborhood over from me killed a whole family because his mom cheated on his dad causing divorce. Besides that I saw my friends do some really wack sh*t when they were that age. Parents; gotta get them through this age range. Understand they haven't fully developed empathy yet and it effects their judgement.
Can you analyze the case of the Turbo Encabulator? Maybe for a video to be released in early April 😉 I think your well timed natural dry deadpan delivery of genuinely great dad jokes, would be PERFECT for it.
all they had to do was wait a few yrs till jenna became a legal adult then they would have been free to have the sort of relationship they wanted but many young people have different ideas about time than adults if they don't get something NOW they think it will never happen also don't get why some murderers write out their plans for the crime then leave it lying around for anyone to read⚛😀
I love how they want to declare a child an adult after they've committed a crime but won't allow them freedom from parental control before that happens. 😑
It amazes me the number of murderers who do their shopping at Walmart, a company with tons of high-quality cameras and a strong willingness to share that footage with the authorities. It shouldn't, though, as years of following true crime makes it pretty clear that the vast majority of murderers are complete idiots. Hell...they probably even used their credit card for the purchases.
It amazes me that otherwise intelligent people can express such gastly opinions knowing nothing about the situation. Jenna had a basement bedroom because she wanted to. Her father did not abuse her. If anything he was too easy on her.
I'm struggling with this case. How do you navigate life well without any real stable relationships as your guide? It seems no one took the time to love her deeply, or tell her she was important to them or that they had time for her. Here comes this young man who is giving her the support, the time, and the love she was starving for. I'm not saying that mom got what she deserved, but she didn't help the situation at all. One of our daughters was interested in boys younger than we felt she was ready, so we had the young man come to our house. He was a sweet boy and they enjoyed a friendship, and matured unscathed. I hope Jenna gets some badly needed counseling about real love, and boundaries, and that she learns how to have true compassion.

Kids today do not have any less empathy than kids of the past. In fact it's likely kids of today have more knowledge and understanding of other peoples plights. It's surprising to me that Dr G would actually like such and ill-informed comment.
🥶 She stabbed and choked her Stepmother, and had wrote about killing her, and her own brother, and Father.🥶 I do feel sorry for what she hadn't learned. Jenna treated as she had been treated. Jenna was not protected and was treated without healthy concern before upon her request, her Father took her in. Apparently, he did not petition the court to rescue his children. Child neglect warps the mind, just as warp as living in those conditions. My concern is that she receives 15, to learn through therapy and classes what she can be. She needs to put in the work, so she needs no less than 15 years. For community safety.
Please do an analysis of the killing of Ed McDaniel and his wife in their VIRGINIA front yard a few years ago. He was a wonderful doctor at fort Belvoir, VA
I know Jenna well and have since her birth. Though I love her, I cringe to think what she will do when she gets out. She has no remorse for anything she's ever done and when told no there is no end to what she'll do to get her way. At the very least she has antisocial tendencies.
Looks like Jenna got over Kenneth’s death, she probably couldn’t care less about him now. I wonder what family holiday dinners will be like when she’s released.
She, like Gypsy Rose Blanchard, sadly received much too lenient sentence. Kids will hear the message. I'd be very uncomfortable if my daughter were still a teen.
Dr Grande, please do a video about the murder of Russian opposition leader Navalniy, who was murdered in prison this week. This is massive news as it comes during Russian elections and a successful Ukrainian destruction on a large Russian battleship. Might this have been a revenge-murder? Certainly an expected tactic used by Putin, as described by Guriev in his book "Spin Dictators". PS: 1 year ago, you reviewed President Putin. Today, this man caused Navalny's end. It would be poetic justice to discuss life and mission and end of Navalny.
It's odd to me that the able-bodied young man who had been in the Army hid in the closet initially. After the verbal spat, he jumped into action of assault as well, between the two women. But, the murdering part was planned, because the weapon is already ready. This makes it hard to believe either one of them, as to 'manipulation' playing a part in the crime.
So sad that her step mother was trying to protect her and she was killed for it. Jenna made her bed now she gets to sleep in it. I hope Rhonda’s loved ones r healing from this tragedy and that Rhonda rests in peace.
I can't help but think all of the violence in the media, unprepared for parenting, poor parenting, gruesome graphic violence shown in films and video games, has resulted in an increase in sociopathic and psychopathic personalities who lack the capacity to see that human life is precious. This a personal tragedy for all directly involved in this case, and it, really, is a societal tragedy also.
It always astounds me when a kiIIer gets so little time. Was this woman's life worth so little that they just didn't bother to give the family any justice for her death? Sickening!
On the subject of sentencing This is a complex case & though it's diffucult to rule out undue influnce of others the planning & instructional descriptions of murder before the acts point to a very sick mind - child or adult it shouldn't matter more than the deaths & recognition that this person is so sick that they see murder as a suitable solution to their difficulties I don't know if 15 years in prison is enough But why are people like this given another chance living free? How about 15 years in prison followed by 15 years in mental hospital? Still not enough? Law is complex but sentencing needs to have strong deterent elements Though not emcouraging murder, light sentences where one or more lives are ended & the criminal keeps living & is eventually freed from prison, do seem unbalanced & unfair to me & the impacts on extended family & friends seems less important than punishment for a time but a 2nd chance at contributing to society & reduced burden of permanent prison & mental hospital costs The drivers, factors & circumstances leading to plans & acts of murder should not cancel out severe punishment Murder seems to mean a 2nd chance at life sometimes
She really should have had a longer sentence. If that journal could had been brought in, that alone would have overcome any worries that she was a victim herself or being manipulated, at least for me. Maybe she will have a child who takes after her one day. That would be interesting
I don't feel bad for him. He was clearly a bad person. Not bad on the same scale as Jenna and unlikely he would have being involved in committing such an act if it wasn't for her... but he did.
Should have stayed longer because she planned it out in great detail, easily manipulated, let her mature in jail, spend a lengthly time in therapy & on probation. Maybe it would all help change her.
This is the type of analysis that makes me want to generate an interesting dialogue.
😂

Jenna is a disappointing daughter/stepdaughter/person.
I think you gotta start by saying something interesting sweetie 😂
Another wildly unfair sentence. I have lost all faith in the judicial system. 😢
Me too! I've seen it over and over again! It's sickening!
There is a separate justice system for the rich...and apparently for cute little white girls too.

Why do they always write down their idiotic murder plans? I'll never understand that.
She should get together with Joel Guy. What a cute couple 🤮
It isn’t enough to have those ideas flowing through the mind. They feel compelled to get it out in some form.
If Jenna gets married after she's released, her husband better tread lightly. Especially if he's thinking about having an affair.

It amazes me that otherwise intelligent people can express such gastly opinions knowing nothing about the situation. Jenna had a basement bedroom because she wanted to. Her father did not abuse her. If anything he was too easy on her.
I'm struggling with this case. How do you navigate life well without any real stable relationships as your guide? It seems no one took the time to love her deeply, or tell her she was important to them or that they had time for her. Here comes this young man who is giving her the support, the time, and the love she was starving for. I'm not saying that mom got what she deserved, but she didn't help the situation at all. One of our daughters was interested in boys younger than we felt she was ready, so we had the young man come to our house. He was a sweet boy and they enjoyed a friendship, and matured unscathed.
I hope Jenna gets some badly needed counseling about real love, and boundaries, and that she learns how to have true compassion.
There was a murder list... Her whole family.. She does need a lot of help and a new family, that psychopath
And here I thought I was a moron when I was younger.
That last name is so funny, Oakley, something Flanders from simpsoms would say.
Wow, I’m first to comment 😮 thanks Dr Grande for filling my time at work with interesting, informative videos ❤
Nobody cares.
You know you're
@@Flamsterette GFYS 😘
@@p.siadoreyou9050 You know that nobody cares about your shallow bid for validation. 🙄🚩
@@catchasindog You forgot to complete your comment. Let me guess. You are currently failing school?
I agree her sentence was too light. How horrible what she did, so many young kids today have zero empathy & are dangerous. Thanks Dr G😊💓💓
Yes, way too light. Zena, please reply. I commented to you twice somewhere else, and it disappeared. 😢❤
@@LDiamondz Hi dear💜💜I tried to find u yesterday and could not either. I replied to your last one a few wks ago, got no reply there either lol. YT!😑😬How are you doing?✨️🦋🤗🌷I am good, seeing Mom later today 🥤🥰👩❤️💋👩🏜🎆🎵
@@zenawarrior7442 Hey, Zena! ❤️ I replied two long replies on the 'berg-er' channel, and both times they were deleted. Gone, when I went back and checked. Guess he didn't like what he read on there. I thought I was banned. (Ldiamondz621 write that down, ok?) Praying for you and definitely your mom. Hope you see this soon. Much love, Sis. Hope this stays. ❤️❤️🥰⚘️🌷☘️
@@zenawarrior7442 I replied to you here again, and it disappeared. Again. I'll keep trying. Sorry you're mom isn't doing well. ~hugs~. I'll keep praying for you both. ❤ Glad you're going to see her. I'm going to need surgery, but I'm OK. Hope we can catch each other soon. Much love. ❤🌷⚘️🌹💐☘️🌻🏵
Kids today do not have any less empathy than kids of the past. In fact it's likely kids of today have more knowledge and understanding of other peoples plights.
It's surprising to me that Dr G would actually like such and ill-informed comment.
Is that a prison tat under Jenna’s eye?
The most shocking thing to me is that the 13-year old stepson in this day and age unloaded the dishwasher
😂
🥶 She stabbed and choked her Stepmother, and had wrote about killing her, and her own brother, and Father.🥶
I do feel sorry for what she hadn't learned. Jenna treated as she had been treated. Jenna was not protected and was treated without healthy concern before upon her request, her Father took her in. Apparently, he did not petition the court to rescue his children. Child neglect warps the mind, just as warp as living in those conditions. My concern is that she receives 15, to learn through therapy and classes what she can be. She needs to put in the work, so she needs no less than 15 years. For community safety.
No fear or thought on consequences
With Jenna - Talk about homicidal ideation with a plan. She wrote a novel for a plan.
"dad first, step mom second, bro third" 15 years 🤯
Please do an analysis of the killing of Ed McDaniel and his wife in their VIRGINIA front yard a few years ago. He was a wonderful doctor at fort Belvoir, VA
l guess Prisoner's Dilemma doesn't always work out.
So, sentence-wise the court estimated Rhonda's LIFE to be worth about 20.000$...
I know Jenna well and have since her birth. Though I love her, I cringe to think what she will do when she gets out. She has no remorse for anything she's ever done and when told no there is no end to what she'll do to get her way. At the very least she has antisocial tendencies.
Looks like Jenna got over Kenneth’s death, she probably couldn’t care less about him now. I wonder what family holiday dinners will be like when she’s released.
She's never getting out based on the nature of the crime and if she does she'll be too old to live a normal life.
Way too lenient sentencing.
She, like Gypsy Rose Blanchard, sadly received much too lenient sentence. Kids will hear the message. I'd be very uncomfortable if my daughter were still a teen.
Dr Grande, please do a video about the murder of Russian opposition leader Navalniy, who was murdered in prison this week. This is massive news as it comes during Russian elections and a successful Ukrainian destruction on a large Russian battleship.
Might this have been a revenge-murder?
Certainly an expected tactic used by Putin, as described by Guriev in his book "Spin Dictators".
PS: 1 year ago, you reviewed President Putin. Today, this man caused Navalny's end. It would be poetic justice to discuss life and mission and end of Navalny.
I hope we get a Dr. Grande analysis on "WTF did I marry" on Tik Tok
It's odd to me that the able-bodied young man who had been in the Army hid in the closet initially. After the verbal spat, he jumped into action of assault as well, between the two women. But, the murdering part was planned, because the weapon is already ready. This makes it hard to believe either one of them, as to 'manipulation' playing a part in the crime.
So sad that her step mother was trying to protect her and she was killed for it. Jenna made her bed now she gets to sleep in it. I hope Rhonda’s loved ones r healing from this tragedy and that Rhonda rests in peace.
I can't help but think all of the violence in the media, unprepared for parenting, poor parenting, gruesome graphic violence shown in films and video games, has resulted in an increase in
sociopathic and psychopathic personalities who lack the capacity to see that human life is precious.
This a personal tragedy for all directly involved in this case, and it, really, is a societal tragedy also.
It always astounds me when a kiIIer gets so little time. Was this woman's life worth so little that they just didn't bother to give the family any justice for her death? Sickening!
On the subject of sentencing
This is a complex case & though it's diffucult to rule out undue influnce of others the planning & instructional descriptions of murder before the acts point to a very sick mind - child or adult it shouldn't matter more than the deaths & recognition that this person is so sick that they see murder as a suitable solution to their difficulties
I don't know if 15 years in prison is enough
But why are people like this given another chance living free?
How about 15 years in prison followed by 15 years in mental hospital?
Still not enough?
Law is complex but sentencing needs to have strong deterent elements
Though not emcouraging murder, light sentences where one or more lives are ended & the criminal keeps living & is eventually freed from prison, do seem unbalanced & unfair to me & the impacts on extended family & friends seems less important than punishment for a time but a 2nd chance at contributing to society & reduced burden of permanent prison & mental hospital costs
The drivers, factors & circumstances leading to plans & acts of murder should not cancel out severe punishment
Murder seems to mean a 2nd chance at life sometimes
She really should have had a longer sentence. If that journal could had been brought in, that alone would have overcome any worries that she was a victim herself or being manipulated, at least for me. Maybe she will have a child who takes after her one day. That would be interesting
Why do these tragedies always seem to occur in rural or suburban areas?
Because they're often breeding grounds for lost of innocence. Like look up Renegade Cut's clip called the Suburban Nightmare.
Why not just leave? Whats the point in catching a murder charge? They could have literally just walked away.
This is why I don’t mess around w stepkids on god
I feel bad for Kenneth. He wasn't evil like Jenna and never planned on being complicit in a murder.
I don't feel bad for him. He was clearly a bad person. Not bad on the same scale as Jenna and unlikely he would have being involved in committing such an act if it wasn't for her... but he did.
He jumped right in though I don't think he fantasized about it.
Should have stayed longer because she planned it out in great detail, easily manipulated, let her mature in jail, spend a lengthly time in therapy & on probation. Maybe it would all help change her.
And the moral to the story is: NEVER talk to the police. Plead the 5th and keep your mouth shut.
Hmmm. So a mother's life is equal to two stolen cars? No justice here.
Raise your hand if you think Dr G drives a Volvo!
