Thank you for watching and I hope you got something from this episode. What happened in the case of Scott Guy? Who is responsible? Does Ewen Macdonald's past behavior point to a darker pattern of behavior? Perhaps something that would have inevitably evolved into something even more serious? Let me know what you think in the comments.

Im glad you're back Rob and i hope you're doing alot better
Love you Rob. Miss you like hell. Good to hear from you again
When I saw RAID, I thought of bug spray. Sorry. I'm old.
Welcome Home Rob!
So happy to see a video from you! Thank you for posting. Hope you are doing better. You have been one of my absolute favorite content creators for years. I'm rooting for you Rob. 👍💛
Rob,
Glad to see you're back! I too, suffer from depression, as well as, PTSD. It can be difficult at times, and there are days when I don't think I can make it.
When I'm at one of those points...I think about my wife and kids, and all the other people in my life.
Bottom line is...WE LOVE YOU, AND ARE HERE FOR YOU BROTHER!
When u face a serial killer, before you get killed, remember that your murder case will be sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends.

Damn
I’d have called the cops well before that. You kill two of my stags it’s the cops for you.
Probably hits 12pts on the FBI'S psychopath test.
@@mindyschocolate the cops is to good for a man killing a man's livelihood and animals. He should have put him down when he caught him on his property
He killed the puppies because he wanted to, not to add the the crime scene
Weather he kill Scott or not, Ewan is a damn psychopath. Period.
A seriously sick bastard. 😤😤😤💯
Ahh yes nice weather huh -_-
Cloudy or sunny?
@@alextric2812pouring!
Your goin to be on WWYPTOTI and so am I
"I'm not a murderer! Just an animal killer and an arsonist."
A psychopath he was!
wonder if he was a late bed wetter too? homicidal triad much ?
Rob's voice is the most calming voice ever, I wish he could do a bunch of audiobooks... especially Stephen King books...
Oh hell yeah
If he skipped the parts that are really bad writing
@@nailinyourmom : What about Doctor Sleep?... That was pretty good.
I would pay good money for that!!!
Or ASMR!
Idk why but I can just picture Rob hosting Beyond Belief : Fact or Fiction......
That’s allllllll I’m waiting for 😩😩😩
Rob Gavagan and Jonathan Frakes crossover ^^
Dudeeeeee yes seen it on Amazon the other day and thought Rob would be perfect for this. We need a Beyond Belief Fact or Fiction or Ripleys Believe It Or Not revival with Rob hosting.
Yes
That would be AWESOME
Just as the world needed him.. Rob returned
Inspiring! 🧐
Omg facts!!
Not enough uploads imo
Oh hey it's this comment yet again
Absolutely! This makes my ❤ happy!
I’ve missed this series. Haven’t watched it in a while
Me too😁
It was a delight to see a notification by Rob
I'm glad he's back
I like the new introduction
@@TrickiVicBB71 Yes it's cool 😁
the fact that the attorney couldn't live with himself after really speaks volumes. he KNEW ewan did it
Yeah there’s got to be a lot more to that. He knew he’d helped guilty people escape justice.
Yeah I don’t really feel all that bad for him, because of him multiple killers are out there.... all for money
I feel bad for him. He did his job well and the police should have had a lot more evidence.
@@jordanflynn527 you do know how the justice system works right?... Blaming the defence lawyer for doing his job is pretty shit.
@@Talonnz1 u know what’s pretty shit? Letting killers loose for money, no morals
Ewan: yeah I killed all those calfs but the person that killed Guy is the real psycho.
There’s a special place in hell for anyone that hurts innocent animals. 😪
People too...
@@lisasummer701 Came to say this... :/ I guess people are animals too though, so included
Hurting anyone without defence is terrible. If a Bear or a human is attacking my daughter I’ll kill them.
Big animal lover here btw.
@@lisasummer701 I'm pretty sure people falls under the term anyone, too
I'm glad I looked in the comments before actually watching. Thanks for the warning.
Clearly the brother in law was sick in the head, the way he tortured and killed those animals made me sick and he had motive to kill Scott. I hope his children and wife will live a happy life despite losing their father and husband.
@@buffalospringfield1109 it cant be cured since its in the brain.
Sociopathy is made so unless you know how to getceverykne to get along there will always be sociopaths
Man who beat 19 calves to death in one night saying im not a psycho. Richhh
Right?!? It’s fuckin Sick :(
Yeah for real , it would be harder to murder 19 baby animals than someone you hate , ffs
Anyone who would brutally and mercilessly beat an innocent, defenseless animal to death, let alone 19 of them, is someone capable of great evil
Its impossible to do that
@@dominickjustave3558 what is impossible to do?
@@dominickjustave3558 with your fists maybe, but who says he didnt use a baseball bat or another blunt weapon? like a hammer
@@brynion2117 He used a hammer. and it only takes one hit to kill a calf, in under a minute i could take out 10
Why did he do that?
I’m from New Zealand and I remember this case, it shook our little nation.
Ewan definitely did it.
Also a Kiwi - Did you think so? I didn't - lots of issues there, but I don't think there was sufficient evidence to conclude he definitely did it. I do think the whole situation surrounding the farm and management left a lot to be desired. A real mess.
I was 10 years old. Hearing this on the radio everyday and the house going silent while we listen. I live in feilding and I think about it everyday
dude how is that guy .... walking around?
Maybe it's because I'm a New Zealander and murders seem so common in other countries like the US in comparison that it really unnerves me when this stuff happens here too, I mean NZ is kinda closed off but friendly, it just seems so so wrong when I hear about a murder in my country. I mean no offense to the other countries that deal with it too of course
@@hineata100 I’m a kiwi too & followed this case closely, I’m a farmers wife & it hit home hard. After reading the two books about Scott & following the case, listening to family members talking in interviews etc I don’t think Ewan did it.
There were things in the books that weren’t investigated well, I think the police thought they caught their man Ewan. There were a couple of men that needed to be investigated more! I just watched Kylie’s interview on Sunday (tvnz) that marked his 10 year memorial & it feels like Kylie knows who did it & she’s had a private investigator, I get the feeling she doesn’t believe it was Ewan but I could be wrong…
Rob Gavagan: “Oh hey...

LIGHT THE BEACONNNN!
Make Way! Make Way!!
i LOVE his voices, he'd use them more
I've been hoping to see a video from you....... always good content!!!!!!
Great content great to see back👺🖤
Just wondering how he murdered so many calves in one night, and they still let him stay. I know he had shares on the farm but that’s something you call the police about 🤔
Most farmers keep calfs in a separate pen to the mothers, apparentlyit prevents them being trampled. The calfs would have been totally defenceless. I'm guessing to someone in a mindless rage, it would be easy pickings. It's horrible to even think about
@@bobbiecapewell5333 Well I wouldn't say they do it because they super care about the calves wellbeing tbh; calves belong with their mothers. Also, here in Limburg (NL) anyway, 'meat' cows are kept with their babies, neither are separated at any time and no one gets crushed etc. but I agree in general that they'd be pretty defenceless alone. Even larger cows, when herded properly can be taken out in large numbers.
The calves were on a different farm.
people who do that kind of thing turn into serial killers
Calves are usually kept away from their moms after weaning because the moms will often trample the calves, and also older, weaned calves who are starting to grow horns can injure their moms by trying to get milk when they no longer need it. Plus they might have figured it wasn't worth upsetting the dude who beats cows to death tbh.
We’ve all missed you.. PS, why hasn’t a huge network like NETFLIX picked you up yet? We need more Rob!
I agree, imagen him narrating a true crime show !!
Because Who the Hell wants a Boss and your career on someone else's hands
IKR??
Agreed! His is the last voice I hear before I fall asleep .
He can't commit to something like that because he's struggling with his mental health.
Honestly, I think this entire case relied on the knowledge of Ewen's past "night missions" that the judge declined as evidence. I get why he did it, because a person should be judged on pertinent evidence and not their prior history, but I think in denying that "too obviously guilty" evidence of characterisation, motive, and violent disposition, he allowed the killer to get away and sealed Greg King's fate.
This is on point man, i looked some more into this case after this video and just nothing points to ewen and everything points to the criminal that was out burgling that night it is actually amazing how
Ewen clearly didn't pull the trigger and there was no paper trail of him being involved in a conspiracy to set it up, if you actually look at the evidence
Ewan Mcdonald has the strangest hairline I've ever seen
Yee yee ass haircut
When I saw your comment I thought "Oh it's going to be weird" I wasn't prepared for how fucking awful it was going to be
beating baby deer to death is almost comically evil like who does that
Calves are baby cows. Baby deer are fawns. Still pretty ridiculous.
@@Firestar1992 Baby Deer are just as commonly called calves as they are fawns, smart ass.
@@Papagiorgio153 Really? I have never heard baby deer be referred to as calves.
Regardless, the man beat his employers cows to death, not another man’s deer.
@@Firestar1992 Did you not watch the the video? It was clearly stated that the attack was "revenge" for being caught poaching the bucks by the other farmer.

@@Papagiorgio153 Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Hope you have a wonderful day. Try not to be too snappish at the people you come across. :)
I literally stopped everything I was doing to watch
As is routine
Me too
Same!
Totally.
As did I.....
It's stories like this that make my blood boil. The brother-in-law CLEARLY did it.
What a sick bastard doing that to the 19 calves. Definitely got a few screws loose...
I mean, clearly. But the prosecution should have waited to get more solid evidence before the trial. They had a whole lot of theories and barely anything to prove them beyond reasonable doubt. Of course the defense lawyer managed to get the guy free.
They should def fly in detectives w more experience in places that seem to be rural, less populated areas and may not have so many of these cases, thus less experience.
the lawyer seems to know the man did it, due to the mental breakdown
@@MrZoolook That would give him a motive, but not really prove he did it. They argued that he killed the puppies and had no evidence for that, the gun pointed as the weapon for the crime could not have been used due to the amount of shots heard by witnesses and they had no explanation for this either. The boots and the witnesses placing the guy at work around the time of the crime were another problem... Any half competent lawyer could break their case because it really barely existed, tbh.
I mean, I do believe the guy did it, but I don't think the jury would condemn him even if the details about their relationship were allowed.
"Its won the award for New Zealand's most beautiful town over 15 times" and an unsolved murder
So is this a Hot Fuzz situation

Hey, Rob. Just wanna say how happy I am to see you posting. I know you've faced some dark times. Confirmation that you're okay, and even okay enough to make great content! I'm an artist myself, I know it can be difficult to muster the energy to make content, even if it's something you love going.
Love you, Rob. I hope life's treating you a bit better these days.
Definitely believe Ewan or Boe did it. Also why would they keep his crazy ass shit out of the evidence? Motive is hugely important in a trial.
Maybe it was planned by both but boe did it. And ewan made sure that neighbours would see him on another area of the farm so he would have an alibi
Keeping his "night missions" out of court was the biggest legal mistake/injustice I've heard. What a joke. The guy should be rotting in prison absolute parasite.
Because it wasn't directly relevant to the case being tried. The court was tasked with determining if he killed the guy, not if he was psychopath in general. Blame the prosecutors for being lazy and not building a solid case.
@@a2pabmb2 I'm clearly not a legal expert so I can't question the matter any further but it would seem that his clear insatiable appetite for death and destruction by bludgeoning helpless animals to death and committing arson out of petty fits of rage would be a fair charector assessment to be brought forth to the jurors in this case. I've heard of much much less being brought forward toward a jury in regards to profiling someone so it does seem like a major injustice. Regardless, I feel like the law failed in a major way.
I don't know the NZ legal system, but I think it might be because he had yet to be found guilty of actually hurting the animals, and for that reason he was technically innocent in the eyes of the law. And when it isn't proven he did it yet, they can't use it in court.
Ewan says he's not a murderer but killed 19 calves? Yeah... I know for animals it's not technically "murder" but it's pretty damn close.
Exactly.
I also like how this guy literally never got arrested for that before this murder even took place. Perhaps the victim would've still be alive had Ewan been locked up during that time
It's a known fact that often people who torture animals later graduate to killing humans, i.e. murder.
This has been the case for scores of serial killers.
there's quite a few people who would say it IS murder
Yeah it was still murder. They weren't used for food or put down due to being in pain. They were brutally beaten to death out of his rage. Murder.
This case is so heartbreakingly tragic. So many lives were ruined. Also, welcome back, Rob
I swear I see you comment on all the videos I watch. You’ve got great taste 😉
Man, the New Zealand criminal justice system is awful.
Yeah but the school system in the US is awful too, I heard some people didn't know that a 1/3 pounder was more than a 1/4 pounder
It really is. In the summer of 2015 to 2016 a group of Caucasian teenagers from wealthy families (18 and 19) went on a theft spree around where I lived (I went to school with 3/4 of them) and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars of stuff, all for a thrill and some fun. They ended up with varying amounts of home detention and community service. At the SAME time in the SAME district court, a Maori man who stole some fish from a fishing boat to feed his kids was sent to jail. Nationwide outrage for months
It's a lot better than most countries.
Yep, murderers are out in years. It’s completely messed up here.
If you think that's awful, check out the Arthur Allan Thomas, Scott Watson and Bain family cases.
This is such a tragic story all around. As for the defense attorney, who took his own life, I do feel for his family also.
Hey, this is a huge mystery in NZ. Thanks for spreading this crazy story to the world!
I agree!
Is it really a mystery though? 19 🦌 that’s f’d on some other shit.
@@shiveringislesli1450 Exactly, I dont see the 'mystery' part here. I cant see there being more than one absolute psycho around there.
@@RisingRevengeance that’s like some rage I can’t even understand lol
Hard out bro, but it's clear as hell that bastard had motives 🤬
I’ve always wondered about defense attorneys & the secrets they end up carrying with them..
It can't be easy, even in the best of cases. I recently watched the Netflix series about Richard Ramirez....imagine defending a monster like that.
Most defense attorneys don't have such problems. The reason being...They don't even TRY to give their clients a decent defense!!!
wonder how much mental health support is given to attorneys/prosecutors/jury.
regardless of someones personal opinion as to the "effectiveness" of their job, like the poster above me, it doesn't change the fact they have to be exposed to some pretty heavy/horrific stuff on a regular basis!
@@Lizzifer7 I’m gonna go with 0 is given to them. If they seek it out, I’m sure there’s help. But something like set up as a normal thing, highly doubt it...
@@Lizzifer7 ....If you saw them purposely fail at their job like I have, you wouldn't ask that question. Divorce attorneys also. They don't give a DAMN.
What’s crazy is UA-cam demonetizing your channel when all they have to do is give you a UA-cam Show about unsolved mysteries and murder and BOOM profit for you both.
That poor stag farmer and his stags. They didn't deserve it :(
I can imagine Rob narrating cases on A&E channel, definitely can see Rob on America’s most wanted whenever John Walsh retires bless him 🙏
When the world needed him the most. He returned. Thank you Rob.
I'm so glad you are back. I have been praying for you. Even if I have to wait a year between videos, I will be here because your content and presentation is just that great.

Looks like somebody did! @Eli Dab
I’m getting middle school flash backs hearing robs voice. The return of a classic.
I actually lived in Feilding, New Zealand for the first 22 years of my life, this completely shook the community. I lived across the river from the farm itself
When Rob uploads, you know it will be excellent.
I read 'excellent' in Mr Burns' voice from the Simpson's. It seemed fitting.
Man this guy’s murder case is crazy. The killer got off scott free too.
😂 I see what you did
*loud exhale*
Who is Scott free ?
Hi-OH!
Ouch that’s a sad pun
Adding closed gates to the list of things I'm afraid of.
It's all about context. In another scenario, the gates being open might be unusual. BOOM! Flat tires, killers ambush you.
Don't let it bother you.
Just ram em
@@aronblanche :D :D :D
Fr last closed gate I saw at night my boyfriend tried to get out of the car and I damn near broke down. Luckily it was motion sensored so we got closer intending to slowly open it with the car and it opened up.
I took a break from your channel for a while after being a huge fan (just personal BS) and have just found you again. Can I just jump in and tell you how much I have missed your voice and your amazing content?! Back for good, Man. Back for good!
From NZ, We all know Ewan did it.
We all know he was not convicted too. Says a lot of our judicial process doesn't it. And also how the Police work a case. Just like the Scott Watson case, the cops concentrated on the witnesses that suited their narrative. There are still people in Marlborough who saw a ketch with two masts, but the cops were adamant this did not exist, so they were never properly interviewed or brought to court to give evidence. This time the defendant was found guilty.
Yup. It's an horrendous miscarriage of justice.
This... Still makes me so mad
People knew him im fielding as a meth cook, thats not in the papers either but locally it was big gossip.
@@shadowmoon5445 ahh the whole case makes more sense with that narrative
Please stay this time 😫😫 2021 would be so much better with you in it 🥺🥺
I remember when this happened as I live in New Zealand and for years the case plagues mystery that we have yet to uncover... Thanks for getting this out there! Someone knows something so let's help get his family the closure they deserve and need ❤️
I'm from NZ, and remember this. Once lots more stuff came out about ewen MacDonald he has done a lot more stuff too. I wouldn't be surprised if he has killed others, like hitch hikers or people he saw as disposable. He was into burglaries as a lot of the houses out those rural parts were not locked. He is a real piece of work.
Kylee shot scott
If you stop treating this like a soap opera where ewen is the perfect TV drama suspect and look at the evidence it was pretty clear he couldn't have pulled the trigger or been on the scene
Ewan is going to write a book titled “if I did it”
'If' I did it' might be a better titlem
I was just thinking yesterday “where is the homie at” and boom new episode today
ROB!!!! Hey man I missed your videos! I hope whatever’s going on on your life your staying strong.
Thank you for shining a light on the most bizarre case my country has seen in many years. As a New Zealander this confused the snot out of me so thank you for presenting this to an audience who may not know about this.
i mean just found out and looked this case up and nothing points towards ewen being the murder and a lot of evidence points towards a meth addict violent criminal who was out burgling that night with a shotgun and he had the same cigarettes found at guy's body plus his alibi is absolutely horrible but accepted by the police for what ever reason, i say the police on this case were extremely bad at their job and just tunnel visioned ewen
I have anxiety and depression. It is a battle for me everyday. I live in North Carolina and they are just getting around to voting marijuana for medical reasons. I am so tired of fighting to get medication to help me. I have 100 percent disability, and chronic pain. What on earth does it take to get some help!!!! I'm so glad to see you and hear your voice. You help me get out of my head. Thank you and your fellow people that bring us all the strange and mysterious things that happens in this crazy 🌎 Take care, and have a Merry Christmas. I hope the coming New Year brings happiness to you and everyone having troubles. I guess that means the whole world. Love your work.🌹❤️💕💅💐🌺🌸🌲⛄ I feel so sorry for this family ❤️💝💓💔
SURPRISE SURPRISE THE KING IS BACK! UA-cam is a better place when you’re posting Rob. Can’t describe how happy I was to see a new vid of yours pop up.
After everything you’re going through Rob. It’s awesome to see my notification say your name pop up.
Can’t wait to get through this video. Absolutely thankful for your amazing work.
I couldn’t click this fast enough - I grew up down the road fro where Scott was murdered, and next door to one of the farms Ewen poached. This whole time was so surreal
As a New Zealander, apart from the town of Fielding being beautiful to look at, it seems that a tonne of dodgy people have lived there
I live in feilding. It sure has changed over the years. But I love it here. Ntohing usually happens here and if it doesn’t it’s like what the hell.
I’m going through a bad breakup right now and this popped up right when I needed a distraction thank god
Hang in there, you’re awesome! =^_^=
God bless you! It gets better hun! 💜🙏✌️
"It's a fact that your're most likely to be murdered by someone you know'
No I'm most likely going to die from heart disease, but thanks for trying to cheer me up.
Oof, too relatable
You may be like a case I saw on Forensic Files. This woman's husband murdered her. But when they did the autopsy they said she would have only lived another 6 months if he hadn't.
So he went to prison.
He said that you're more likely to get murdered by someone you know (if you get murdered). He didn't say you would most likely die of murder.
@@xfiringsquadx please stop
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit
That’s heartbreaking that the lawyer had to go through such hell, it’s the one thing I hate about defense attorneys. Not everyone is owed a perfect defense, just a defense, but lawyers that go above and beyond for their clients often have deep moral unrest inside them.
It must suck knowing that you got someone off because the prosecution did a bad job. Defence lawyers are supposed to defend to the best of their ability, and I guess quite often they will be secretly hoping that the prosecution does a better job.
they dont care about what happened, they just want to win cases, it boosts their career, reputation and earnings
@@ilikepiracy1264 Clearly this is not always the case. The defense attorney committing suicide hardly strikes me as a person who doesn't care about what happened.
@@Felicat82 oh I said that before the video finished lol
@@ilikepiracy1264 I mean, you kinda know that a prosecution is flawed if the defense attorney can even pick it apart to begin with, that's the thing. They want someone to provide counter arguments so that they can be certain they're either proving that the person is guilty without a doubt, or that they're totally innocent. Otherwise, if nobody's defending them, it's just always going to be onesided open and shut cases all the time, and as we all know, not everyone who gets arrested is guilty.
This is the quality content that gets me through University: Quarantine Edition. Brilliant job Rob! Pease keep going! Xxx
Cmon This Mcdonald guy looks nothing like a normal human being, they should've known, someone who is cruel to animals is a potential psychopath
Js, but if these two were consistently trespassing to poach on my land, I'd be letting the authorities know first off, then be sitting out there, waiting for them to come.
Holy shit is this real?????? Rob is back lets fucking go we have missed you bro
I feel so bad for Greg King- it was his job and someone had to do it, but the fact his life fell apart because of it just adds to the tragedy
If I were on the jury I would’ve been upset because he is guilty but they didn’t gather enough evidence.
@@c.c.schaeffer8678 But someone needs to take the job, if they do not give someone a proper chance of defending themselves there would be many, many more innocent people locked up. The justice system is so so far from perfect but it’s up to the prosecution to give enough evidence.
@@c.c.schaeffer8678 The guy was clearly not evil. He did chose to acquire the wealth of the evil but there are also many innocent people that need a lawyer and you can’t turn down cases unless you have a really good reason in NZ
You've been missed
Welcome back Rob. You're one of my favorite creators out there. I've suffered with depression and addiction since adolescence and I know how much it can help just hearing a word of encouragement here and there.
This is trippy, I'm from New Zealand, I still remember when this hit the news, every now and then it pops up again. Well done
Sees notification from Rob.
INSTANT LIKE!
Holy shit. What a hell of an intro to come back to. Nice to have you back, Rob. And of course Ewan killed Scott.
Thank you for covering this kind of topic- unfortunately agricultural politics like this are not as rare as some think and so many farmers are dealing with stressors far beyond what the weather is doing and if the crops are growing.
Good families who run good farms should be honored and revered and anyone screwing with them should be held to the heftiest of judgement and conviction.
So happy to see Rob back again. Missed these videos and his voice.
Everybody's talking about how terrible this Ewan bastard is, and they are ABSOLUTELY correct, but I feel really bad for the defence attorney, Greg King. Poor guy was just trying to do his job, and it's heartbreaking that he felt so responsible for setting an obvious murderer free.
Well he didn't have to work the case...
The police should have gathers more evidence.
@@jennifercarr9111 It's easy to look at anyone in a bad situation and say "well, you didn't need to do that." He had a family to support, a job to work - you're assuming he worked freelance when he was probably given the job by his superiors. He didn't have to work the case, but what is sad is that he felt socially obligated and pressured to do it, for some reason we do not know.
Like I get what you mean but I hate when people say that about suicide victims, "you could have just found a new job"; "moved on from a relationship"; "not be sad"; "get over your addiction". Life is neither simple nor easy, and the holes he highlighted in the prosecution's defence were absolutely valid. He did his job - it was the judge and the prosecution that secured his freedom (you know, the people who should have had all the evidence) through their ineptitutde, not the guy picking valid holes in the argument.
@@PhilosophyofElivagar I agree.You have VALID ARGUMENTS.
Use your brain and look at the evidence. Ewen might have been a piece of shit, but he couldn't have pulled the trigger that night because of the timelines and fellow farm workers.
There was an unidentified car that drove away at around that time
Not gonna lie I was genuinely impressed by Greg Kings defense statements as they did tear the whole prosecution down.
I thought "Wow a real life Phoenix Wright."
Then I saw the end of the video. 😞
It's literally the bad ending of Justice For All in real life
The man, the legend... is back.
We stan a king 🙌🏻
*_YOOOOO, SERIOUSLY STRANGE IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!!_*
Wow Rob! I remember this like it happened just yesterday. The poor family’s. This whole mess completely rocked our peaceful country to the core.
Welcome back, friend! I hope you are doing well and thank you for your efforts. Your channel helps me take my mind somewhere as I try to abide chronic physical pain.
Mannn that new intro is WILD. Straight nightmare fuel, but absolute fire 🔥
Gets a notification that Rob just posted a video, never have a pressed a button so quickly
Welcome back Rob! Missed you so much! Hope you are doing well ❤️❤️❤️
If you want to see him everyday he's a moderator on a show called "revenge of the cis" I don't know if you would like it though because the two hosts are racist and Rob goes right along and makes fun of minorities throughout the show daily.
Rob, I am truly amazed that you are back. ...and better than ever.
Looking through your old videos a few weeks ago wonderingwhere you where glad to have you back x
What, a defense attorney who actually has a conscience?
I'm certainly not going to envy the job but defense attourneys are central to maintaining a fair and balanced trial. It's easy to think of them in terms of O.J. Simpson and other obviously guilty cases but think of all the times they were defending innocent people, especially during times of racism where the first black guy in the vicinity would be charged. Defense attourneys may fight for the freedom of sick bastards, but they ensure the rights of everyone.
Also it's a bit harsh you think his suicide is evidence of his conscience, the man should have gotten help, not prove himself morally capacious.
@@PhilosophyofElivagar You misunderstood me.
I fully agree that our legal system, premised on innocent until proven guilty, requires defense attorneys to provide a bulwark against star chambers and kangaroo courts, but what I had in mind were the ones the likes of a William Kunstler or a Bruce Cutler, both of whom took the gig knowing full that their clients were guilty, but whom still took the job because one was an openly anti-American scumbag taking the opportunity to strike a blow for his ideology, and the other knew Gottie was guilty as hell, yet he took the gig out of raw greed and because he liked advancing organized crime's ability to get away with it.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns I'm not American so I'm not familiar with the men you named but I'll take your word for it because I trust your judgement. Fundamentally, the defense attorney is only as powerful as the prosecution, judge, and jury allow him to be, as dictated by his success. The motivation of many men may be evil, just as the attourney for the prosecution may be the goon of a multi-million corporate corporate against a small innocent business - that bad actors exist in law is nothing new and certainly not determined by which side of the court they're on, both seek to establish _a_ truth, even if it is not _the_ truth, which is the closest thing we can do to justice.
So we don't disagree, I think it's just a sad case where a man performed his end well and the other checks and balances didn't - their inadequacy vs his competence is what set MacDonald free.
@@PhilosophyofElivagar Thanks for your thoughtful comments.
It's nice to have someone able and willing to engage so well.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns You too, man. Stay safe!
And out of the blue rob is back!! welcome back to youtube!
I love how this series is edited and presented, from the intro to Rob's pacing, to the outro. Comfy spooky vibes. 3/5 stars, wouldn't change a thing.
The man. The Legend. He rescued his people with his videos when he was needed the most. Thank you!
Your writing, delivery, and presentation are so masterful and engaging! To me, this is your most well-made video yet (and your past ones were amazing)!
I missed you Rob. Glad to see a new episode!
Dude, the seriously strange intro gives me life! It’s so good!! 😱 We missed you Rob and we’re so happy you’re back.
My god he's back I'm so happy
And by that I mean Rob
WARNING I am the unprettiest human alive and I need YT to afford my house and the desires of my two girlfriends so please observe my highly stimulating videos, dear sha

@@AxxLAfriku can u not
Oh it's sooo excellent to see you Rob Gavagan! I do love all the new changes and designs.
What I missed, most was your amazing voice. It can scare the crap out of me! Or be sweet and sexy... missed you.
in America, Ewen would have had his head blown off for killing the first two deer.
I feel bad for Greg King, the defense attorney and his family. I can understand how he would have felt when he wrote that he felt like he was being haunted by the victims of the criminals he defended.
Its sad. Dude was just doing his job, i can't imagine the guilt he carried day to day.
He didn't have to defend them though. He chose to do those cases right?
@@jennifercarr9111 Someone has to
@@michakrawcow1265 I suppose but if cases have that much of an impact on him then you'd think he'd want to defend the actual innocent and real victims. I know if I was a lawyer I definitely wouldn't be defending murderers, pedophiles, rapist and such.
@@jennifercarr9111 exactly i dont feel bad for someone who made the choice to defend these people
Rob!! So glad you’re back!
I really wish people would put warnings when stories involve animal cruelty I just can’t take it!! 😭😭
Hope you're vegan Jamie otherwise I have some bad news for you about the dairy and meat industry...
I know-it breaks my heart what those innocent animals went through.....actually my blood is boiling!
@kelvin martinez Who said no one cares about humans???? If we care for animals our compassion extends to humans as well. I chose to speak on animal cruelty as they don’t have a voice-we are their voice. Animals, Elderly and Children all need to be heard! Hope this kinda puts them into perspective for you. Much love from Louisiana!💜
@@ladyreverie7027 Still doesn’t make it ok what happened nor what goes on behind closed doors at these slaughterhouses/farms. It’s obviously inhumane/torture. I’m glad you know the truth. Alot do not know.
Thanks for covering this Rob. I live in Dunedin New Zealand.. I just hope one day his family get the closure they deserve....
Your awesome man 🙂
Kia ora Rob, this was a great video as I live about 45mins from Fielding NZ and the whole country was wrapped up in this trial so it was beneficial to hear details of the case left out by our media at the time. I haven't seen any of your content in a while so it was a nice surprise to see this case so close to home and also to see that it wasn't as dark as your previous uploads which benefited me as an audience member and hopefully you as a content creator. All the best, I'm a big fan and wish you well in the future.
Im Glad that you are alive and well ❤❤ I was elated to get this notification!
