Jessica Flesher This is far from the Doctors fault. She either made gypsie that ill or they took Dee Dee’s word. She kept gypsie very thin to where she appeared medically fragile. If Dee Dee forced malnutrition and claimed GI issues the doctor is going to step in with proper help. As they should. Another example is that her salivary glands were removed. That wasn’t the doctors fault either. Dee Dee had her taking a med that made her drool so that they would agree to the surgery.
monica m Whoa I didn’t know that 😳 I wonder if he knows and if that’s why he was starring at her in part 2 of the hearing. I don’t think he even blinked. I wish she would focus on just herself too.
monica m I know this was 2 months ago but she will be over 30 when she gets out. I can kinda understand why she wants to start rebuilding her life with someone she loves. She hasn't gotten to feel love ever except for what her and Nick had. She probably understand how precious time is and wants to just have love for once.
Honest? Did you watch her interagation? She lied threw her teeth and threw him under the bus completely. Blamed him for everything after he threw away his life for her
I know I've made 4000 comments on this case but I honestly feel like he saved Gypsy's life. I think as Gypsy got older and really knowing she wasn't sick and wanting to be normal, I think her mother would have eventually killed Gypsy. I so see that happening.
Yes, or made her real sick,avoiding her from speaking, keep her on the bed,for real, this time, to kill a cashcow. Her mother needed that money and attention.
Logan Hensley i agree. Like she was trapped. And it’s so sad to hear her say that gypsy thought people would think she’d go missing and no one would look for her. Sad she doesn’t see her for what she is
I pray Nick can be transferred to a mental health facility for the duration of his sentence. He doesn't deserve to be in prison. Unlike how Dee Dee wanted to deceptively convince the world that Gypsy was mentally challenged, Nick actually is. So sad 😞
That poor guy really got screwed. I get it, murder is murder but he's obviously a slow adult and he never committed a violent crime before. She walks away with 10 years and he gets life without parole? Ridiculous. I don't understand the sentences in this country.
Honestly! I get that he did murder by hands but, Did it as victor his personality side. I agree he's just a slow and mental adult who just has to serve a life sentence.
I REALLY REALLY feel Gypsy doesn't deserve JAIL. Her mom took her whole child good away. I feel it's her way of Self defense her MOTHER could of KILLED HER. I feel NICK tried to help but honestly I feel he needs psychological help. Always with guidance he needs to be in a medical setting to be guided. Jail will make him go completely crazy maybe suicidal
I really enjoyed listening to this Psychologist! He and the Judge seem like they could be brothers or buddies. Very kind mannered, easy to like, calm, collected and they also seem like they would great for Story Telling!😆
I love smart guys, bald/balding guys, funny guys, and chubby guys, so I have to admit I started to feel little crushes on both the Judge & the Psychologist. And I live in MO!😉😊
Actually Gypsy, her father, and stepmom are taking legal action against The Act. Not sure if its Hulu or the producer/writer of the show. The producer/ writer just cut off all communication with the Blanchards after the show premired
@@kittyraven420 they did. Michelle Dean had communicated with Gypsy. Who was part in making the show. Not real sure what her role was in the making of it. Joey King mentioned her a lot in interviews. Somewhere a long the line after the premiere of the act. The blanchards tried to get in contact with creators. They cut off all contact. It's no surprise to me. Hollywood can shady assholes. I'm still going watch the rest of the act.
Amanda Norman I think Franks is a rockstar though, if I were him I'd get so tired of answering repetitive questions over and over but he's very calm the whole time
i have level one autism. diagnosed when i was 30. hearing this doctor explain things i regonise myself in what he is telling about child stage. and back then it was not clear i had autism yet thinking back i really regonise what this doctor says about kids with autism.
I think some of the Doctor's evaluation questions are "out-dated" ... I have noticed that, quite a few people in this same age group also don't know what "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" mean either. Also, ever been somewhere in public where a fire breaks out? People DO tend to yell, "FIRE!" and run out. Only folks with an experienced background would know NOT to panic the crowd in such a manner.
I agree but at least in prison she isn’t forced to lie about being sick and forced to be in a wheelchair in a sense she has more freedom in prison than what she had with her “mom”.
They really believe Nick ONLY has Autism and he’s already stated and shown he has multiple personalities? Even so, his mother said he suffers mentally greatly and it’s apparent from his actions!
Still don't understand how a father can be so calmly okay with never really or truly seeing her daughter alone or go to doctors appointment with her. As a mother, I will do anything and everything especially if I were to see my child not allowed to speak without her father there, same with Gypsy I would've gone crazy if I had been the father. On another note: some women really do not deserve to be mothers, geez!
Totally agree. People hardly comment about that but i also find Gypsy's dad very odd. He hardly saw her physically and conveniently puts every blame on DeeDee but could have been different if he showed up often I think.
If I'm in a crowded movie theater and someone thinks it is on fire, I hope they let me know instead of calmly walking out to get help. By that time, the whole place could be up in flames.
His reply "That's exactly what you don't want to do" is rather bizarre. Fires are dangerous and unpredictable- I'd assume especially so in theaters which are small places that have a lot of electrical/insulation/soundproofing within walls & lots of people. I know the answer he wants is probably "Calmly and quickly get up and tell an employee so the theater can be safely evacuated". If I saw a fire, there would be NO WAY I'd trust a 16 year old AMC employee who would likely call the manager for help. I'd immediately get up, and as I was walking towards an exit yell it out & help evacuate. Who knows if by the time you got to an employee & they put a plan in motion if the fire would have grown to a level that was uncontrollable. People lives are in danger- they need to know & act quickly.
Exactly, what else would you do. There are fire exits in each theater. Say, uh everyone, there's a fire and walk to the damn exit. I mean are you supposed to go get a bucket of water, and just put it out, lol.
It’s about not producing hysteria. If you yell fire everyone will jump up at once and stampede the door and many will become injured. That is why they don’t want you to yell fire. It’s common sense. But in a fire it’s also logical that you don’t want anyone to die so you would automatically yell fire to save as many as you could, because it feels like the most practical thing to do. Considering how fast a fire spreads. So the hypothetical shows empathy for others mostly.
If this happened in Europe these young people would be getting psychiatric help they obviously require, not prison! And Gypsy would be provided with help and resources to integrate back into society. I cannot believe this trial.
They do have access to psychological help, particularly Gypsy. There had to be some punishment. I also can guarantee I find situations in Europe where the public didnt feel someone should be jailed for their crimes because it was justified, and they were
And not insane like nick my brother has a registered i.q. of 175 wouldn't hurt a fly works and people that are not told he has Asperger's just assume he is quiet.
My nephew has aspergers and works as a historian, he went to York university extremely smart so he's got that wrong, he may miss social ques but he gets on just fine.
Hes a level 2. Not aspergers. One person with autism is one person with autism. You can't compare them because it's a spectrum disorder and all types of people can have autism
Aspergers isn’t used as a diagnosis anymore. My niece was diagnosed Aspergers and when she found out it wasn’t used anymore she said “I don’t have it anymore.” She’s ASD level 1, but is more handicapped by anxiety and stress now as an adult than as a child. She graduated college and is a project manager with an apartment with roommates. Godejohn is a ASD Level 2. He has moderate Autism, verbal, and low functioning but at a level 2 he presents a danger to himself and others. The expert locked the case up with “...he’s a danger to himself or others.” That’s why he was convicted and sentenced to life without parole.
Their lack of emotion and love of routine make them good candidates for the army. Once they get out and lose that supervision and structure their lives often fall apart sadly
I bet she wouldn't be sitting in jail if she poisoned her. They'd find out but I bet with enough evidence for what her mom did it would be looked at completely differently since a stabbing is so brutal. She might have gotten house arrest or into a psych ward in stead. I hope that the women she's with right now know her story and don't treat her badly.
I have followed Gyspy's story n I truly think she needs 2 b in a Hospital teaching her how 2 b a Normal person...she had never had that feeling...every pic ever taken of her n her Monster mother Dee Dee there is some kind of touching from the mother letting her know that she better not say anything!!! Also every Dr that lied 2 her when she was a young child should b Sued by her father!!! This poor girl should not b sitting in jail...she never said she wanted her mother dead...she merely wanted that Horrific life 2 STOP...!!!!!!!!!
Little Star Small Wolf girl shut up. That was irrelevant to what she was talking about. You knew exactly what she meant. “Use proper language.” a comma doesn’t go there a period does B*tch.
I think that she shouldn't have gotten that long of a sentence due to what happened to her all thru her life. I guess they don't pitty that just because she planned her mother's death. The drs are to blame for all of this because they should've done something about this
The mother is to blame. Any doctors that suspected anything, were no longer seen. The mother switched her to many many doctors so none of them could track her health or progress
The scenarios are good but they only indicate what he cognitively understands, not what he is socially able to apply. I assume that the Dr. Know that and they just didn't ask him. I don't think godejohn belongs in prison, but in a facility that can support him
to the people saying that nick shouldn’t be locked up...you do realize that killing someone is against the law right? he may have a mental illness that attributed to him doing this which can get him off the hook on some things but it doesn’t mean he can evade the law and some kind of consequence
i just dont think he deserve a life imprisonment without parole...he wouldnt have done it without gypsy’s instruction,plan,consent they were so inlove.... they done it together to help each other...idk i just hope he will be sentence just as the same as gypsy....
He should have taken a plea deal like Gypsy rather than taking it to trial The jury convicted him of first degree murder He could have gotten 2nd degree with a plea deal. His attorney did him no favors
Unfortunately, Gypsy's escape was going from one form of abuse to another. Neither her mother nor her boyfriend were good for her. I hope she gets some occupational rehabilitation and is set free.
even though she was chained up in her own home ..it should be considered kidnapping ..imprisonment against ones own will...even though the mother is dead she should be charge with many crimes ..and considered a criminal.. forcing anyone over 18 to not date or marry is an imprisoning crime also
I don’t think it’s fair that nick was given life without parole. His mental condition should have been taken into consideration. He thought he was saving gypsy. He wouldn’t have killed anyone if gypsy hasn’t asked him too. He should have got 20 years then release. Nick obviously has a severe mental disability. This should always be taken into consideration during trials like this. And the sentence should be changed accordingly.
I think this dr explained the spectrum and the new ability of understanding with this and how board it is . As a mother of a child on this spectrum I know some people are ignorant to understanding how complicated it can be with a high functioning adult on the spectrum that is lacking general understandings of basic human reactions interactions and concepts no matter how hard you try to teach and guide... it's a brain wiring issue and can be invisible disability to people that don't understand and they classify them as a mental health and danger to society problem. Locking them up is not the answer constant guidance love and understanding is needed.
Rebecca Mcmurtrie I know several parents with kids on lower and higher ends of the spectrum. None of their kids killed. People need to stop using mental illness as an excuse for people who are just plain evil.
@@NennieC123 your ignorance to the autistic spectrum is amusing it's NOT mental illness it's a disability and it's not a pass to commit crime but a life sentence it's not practical here and you obviously have a opinion of the uneducated population.
Nennie C exactly lol I know many too and none have these tendenciesand desires for rape like this man and they are gentle and wouldnt kill. he is truly a danger to others
hiii... Um, my first reaction to " a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" was "HUH!?" (then i thought about it and said "what I have is more valuable than what I don't") BUT for the crowded theater i said, "FIRE!" and imagined myself fleeing. so uh, i feel like this are tricky for anyone tbh
I’ve watch from Hulu and after Hulu I came here, i am disabled and Idk how I would feel if my mother forced me to be disabled. I’m glad Gypsy somewhat “free” but then again...idk if it was a good way to get out. I have mix feeling.
Tiffany Sanchez i have started watching The Act on Hulu, I actually only know about this whole case because my daughter was an extra on the set. This case is insane, because honestly, I don’t feel that Gypsy deserves jail time, she was a prisoner... She was being held against her own will and felt it was her only way out.
I feel like murder isn’t justified. Gypsy did not understand that their was other ways to get out like instead of performing on that charity stage she could’ve just stood up and with all the cameras and stuff. I just feel like she went along with it when it was convenient for her and then she was too afraid to go against her mom, so she orchestrated a murder.
This doctor is an absolute pleasure to listen to. I love psychology because it’s interesting, but there is so much to it. This guy does a great job at answering questions in a clear and concise manner and doesn’t ramble on or is long-winded in his responses…. (Like that other doctor was…)
Let her go! She needs a lot of love! Why can you people see what her mother did to her! She was afraid of her mother! She could not leave none believe her! And her boyfriend he also needs help why give him life in jail! I hope she Sue's all those doctors that didnt help! Also hulu pay her for her story!
Free Gypsy .haven't she been punished enough,her childhood has been in prison by her mum's cruelty. Who's the victim? Gypsy's the real victim.. Give her a chance to live her life freely and enjoy it to her fullness.. Don't judge her because she had only one way to freedom its sad to punished her for her involvement in her mother's murder but what about Gypsy's punishment, she went through by a woman who controlled her life as a child with fake illnesses and her mother manipulated her. I thank God Gypsy survived throughout her life on all those medication her mum fed her. Have some consideration for Gypsy and have compassion on her. Gypsy been trial and convicted and imprisoned since her childhood by her mother.. OMG I can't imagine what abuse she encounter by her mother truly who's the victim.
This guy actually isn't representing people with autism well at all. The defendent is a sociopath with classic cluster b symptoms, not someone on with Autism Spectrum Disorder. He is picking and choosing symptoms to make this sociopath seem ASD instead. He didn't test him on any scale for personality disorders like sociopathy or NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) making his assessment null and biased. People with Autism have empathy, emotions, and a sense of right and wrong, they just dont show it in affect, but they rate super high on testing for empathy, honesty, and caring very deeply mostly. Do you know how many sexual predators and violent abusers try to claim Autism to avoid taking responsibility or to get away with it? A lot. And do you know how much it pisses me off as a behavior analyst myself? A lot.
Michelle, we'd be very interested in speaking with you. Is there a way to contact you on FB? Or could you please reach out to us on our By Proxy page and let us know we asked you to contact us on the trial youtube posting.
They are trying to make nick look like he was not in his right state of mind. But yet... he controlled gypsy!!! She trusted anyone to be there to help her escape. Yeah it was her plan both he agreed to do it. He told her what to do and what to wear made her dress up and act like him but In some fantasy world they were living in he was her prince and was gonna save her from her wicked mom who was doing all kinds of things to her. It’s basically a bad Disney movie gone insane.
Please let Nick out of prison he is a young man he is not truly understand the reality of what he truly did they don't very really feel love but when they find that one person that they feel comfortable with they will help those birthdays they can because it's hard to find someone that they will trust and Nick really trusted Gypsy and vice versa.
As much as this doctor was correct as diagnosing him with autism and such he still didn’t explain if he had a personality disorder not sure 🤔 if I’m right but I’m just a psychology student but I can obviously tell that young man also has a personality disorder it’s disturbing even the way he staring.
I was thinking the same thing about possible personality disorder....I'm shocked that all he's diagnosed with supposedly is autism. It would appear there's more going on with him but I guess not?
I'm a grad student studying to be a therapist-- he definitely is showing a lot of traits that would make me wonder about a personality disorder, especially ASPD. But from what I'm learning I know that it typically takes a lot time to be able to diagnose a personality disorder. Multiple sessions with a really in depth history. You have to be able to demonstrate that it's been a pattern since at least early adolescence typically. I'm not sure how long they had for an evaluation? I definitely think there's something else going on here too. His autism diagnosis makes sense to me, but he's showing some callous/unemotional traits too that are outside of the autism spectrum.
Laughed when the psychologist said you don't yell fire because it causes panic , I'm pretty sure most people yell fire 🔥 unless you're more concerned about your own welfare and self preservation before anyone else's and wait until you get to the lobby and casually mention it to the snack bar attendant .🍿
I dont think so the mom was the problem the entire time she was the one that pushed the father away I think if the father knew about Gypsy's condition he could have gotten her out of it. There is alot of "what ifs" tbh
@@Maria67362 How could he not know the truth about his daughters nightmare of a life?! He should have noticed something wasn't right! As her Father, he should have stepped up and made it his business to know everything going on with his daughter! Had he had some sort of relationship with her, he would have found out the truth!
@@teresaworth1581 right, but Dee Dee would not let him get into their lives in other reports it mentions that he would keep in contact and they Dee Dee later on would tell Gypsy that He didnt care about her and he had a new family that he cared more about
@@Maria67362 but he himself talked about what a nutcase his exwife was, I just feel like he should have made more of an effort to have a relationship with his daughter and just maybe some of this could have been avoided, I can't picture my husband not being suspicious and making it his business to put two and two together if one of our kids had multiple life threatening illnesses!
This is so much like my son. He was born in a very difficult long labor. Found that night there was something wrong with him already . My son has all of these signs and conditions. I truly believe that young man should not be in jail I truly believe he was only helping
Cherie Johnson my son is the same he was diagnosed autistic he’s a gentle soal would not hurt anyone this murder has nothing to do with him haveing autism , he clearly had other issues going on , and if de de had lived she would off ended up killing gipsy so he did most probably save her life in the end
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Nick was diagnosed with Autism long before this crime was committed. His mother mentioned it in the initial interview. This psychologist evaluated him once he was in custody.
I know what you are asking. I thought the psychologist said that he helped Nick fill out his disability paperwork, but I could’ve not heard correctly. That paperwork was filled out before this crime occurred.
@@mph1ish curriculum vitae m basically it’s a piece of paper where it’s written all yoir education ans work experience . You send it when you are looking for a Job .
I feel bad for gypsy because there could have been another way to handle this situation. She could have simply just told the truth and it would be her mom in jail but because her mom mentally and physically abused her she didn't know any better. It's sad because all gypsy wanted is to be free and live her life but now she spending her life in a cell just for killing someone who tournamented her
I have been immersed in this crime story. After watching the Hulu doc I came on here and just seen everything. Besides her cute squeaky voice, gypsy deserves to be free but overall there was a murder
I would like to look up the tests the Dr. Is referencing. Can anyone clearly understand which tests he is describing? I could only hear the first test which was the Rorschach inkblot test from 1920. Thank you in advance for your response if you are able to hear this. I have rewound this audio multiple times.
So do I. Helps pass the time if you’re doing a job that doesn’t require a lot of thinking and you have a brain that likes to go a hundred miles a minute.
Because most people have little knowledge of psychology and psychological problems, he had to explain his methods, the tests he used, and the various psychological issues he found in the defendant. Actually, this was a fairly quick testimony by a doctor.
people with aspergers dont like change and yet somebody went and changed the title of it in dsm v. smh sorry this is irrelevant but it is a little ironic...I know many people with aspergers who wont use the new title ha
Psychology is a joke. These test can easily be cheated. You can't read another person's mind. You can get a vague idea of one's general behavior, but there are to many factors and situations that simply can't be demonstrated in a 4 hour "evaluation". Most psychologists end up quitting because for one, they wanna blow their brains outs from trying to fix something that is different from one person to the next, nothing is typical. The dsm could be rewritten every year.
Well, after listening to both this man and the other, they do agree he is on the spectrum, but it probably wasn't a factor in his comprehension of the situation. His IQ while lower was still considered average. The main thing it affected was his response time. I think the other doctor explained it better and possibly did a more thorough job on evaluating him. After hearing from both the doctor's, Gypsy, the lady who interviewed him and the texts, I get the sense that Nick was no way impaired in his decision making in this case. Had Gypsy sprung this on him as a sudden thing and he had little time to react,maybe. But he had plenty of time to process it, and even though Gypsy suggested it, he was highly involved in the planning.
Ok I’m sorry but if you child is autistic then why would you let him go all the way to a different state buy himself? He must not be that autistic right? I’m no expert in autistic I’m just asking
In the mother’s interview, she said the first time she had no idea he was even planning on going out of state until the taxi pulled up in their driveway. Her interview did not indicate that she was a neglectful mother, but quite the opposite. You have to remember that information came from her ex-husband. We have no way of knowing what their relationship was like. He could have been bitter or resentful because of the marriage, divorce, and/or custody issues. Look up his mom’s interview with detective. You may walk away with a different impression of his mom.
I mean, in Nicks defense for the proverbs, I had absolutely no idea what “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” meant until I just now looked it up. I’ve never heard of that phrase in my life.
This poor girl shouldn't have done one day in prison. She was imprisoned by her mother since she was a toddler. I also hope she gets paid for the show based on her story. It's so sickening that a mother would do such horrific things just for money and attention.
@@wioi I have never heard it before. . I live on the east coast so I don't know if it is a saying from other part of the country or not. I even asked some friends and family and they have not heard this saying before either. Sooooooo yea. Idk.
Gypsy had enough! Let her go free to enjoy the rest of her life! Gypsy the lord will forgive you if you repent with an honest heart, give your life to christ and move one girl! God bless you
Hold up. I recently saw a TED talk regarding the Rorscach Inkblot test, and it said that it's not used by psychologists very much anymore, because it's said to have inconsistencies. ua-cam.com/video/LYi19-Vx6go/v-deo.html. Also, if his interpretation was basic, how was he able to create all those crazy fantasies he had with Gypsy? You have to be somewhat intelligent to make up those kinds of stories, UNLESS he was mimicking (echolalia) what he saw in movies, internet, etc. Also, I also don't know what the bird and the bush one means, AND probably bc I would freak out, I would yell "Fire!" and run out of the building too. Just being honest okay. Fires are QUICK - that would probably be the smart thing to do if you're trying to save yourself...but you also need to think about other people - the PC answer would be the opposite. He was probably just being honest.
Poor kid. These assessment tests don't indicate anything, this is bullshit. DAT test especially. I think abstractly and I can't describe those last two "A bird in the hand something about a bush ". I don't know what it interprets to even though I've heard it so many times. And yelling "fire" is obviously not the greatest thing to do but his frame of thought is to notify everyone so they can get the f out of that situation quickly. This is so subjective it's kinda sick.
It's a good thing he didn't work inside the pizza parlor. Kitchen no less and making pizza. After I learned he was doing something weird in a McDonalds for 9 hours, just sitting in there. At what time is enough enough. Nine hours, whewwwweee! There is no excuse for what he ultimately did.
I want to know how the doctors got away with putting a false needed feeding tube in gypsy along with all the other medical treatments
Jessica Flesher This is far from the Doctors fault. She either made gypsie that ill or they took Dee Dee’s word. She kept gypsie very thin to where she appeared medically fragile. If Dee Dee forced malnutrition and claimed GI issues the doctor is going to step in with proper help. As they should. Another example is that her salivary glands were removed. That wasn’t the doctors fault either. Dee Dee had her taking a med that made her drool so that they would agree to the surgery.
I agree
Jessica Flesher Me too that it’s something i don’t get it
money
her medical record were also lost, obviously done by her mother who claimed it was because of hurricane Katrina
I love this judge.....he's calm and treats everyone respectful.....would love to work for him.....best judge I've ever watched
I was thinking much the same!
I thought the same thing, and I'm not one to side with the legal system.
Right
jenifer hermann I totally agree
Same!
I personally believe Gypsy would be fine out in society from what I’ve seen. She’s well spoken, honest, and all she wanted was to be free of abuse.
She already has a fiance and is planning to marry when she's out. I feel that's major red flag. She should focus on rebuilding her and her life
Jacque Lacy I think he should not be in life in jail. He was a victim to ,but of Gypsy
monica m Whoa I didn’t know that 😳 I wonder if he knows and if that’s why he was starring at her in part 2 of the hearing. I don’t think he even blinked. I wish she would focus on just herself too.
monica m I know this was 2 months ago but she will be over 30 when she gets out. I can kinda understand why she wants to start rebuilding her life with someone she loves. She hasn't gotten to feel love ever except for what her and Nick had. She probably understand how precious time is and wants to just have love for once.
Honest? Did you watch her interagation? She lied threw her teeth and threw him under the bus completely. Blamed him for everything after he threw away his life for her
The psychologist is extremely knowledgeable. Love his testimony
Hugely impressive man
This psychologist is really on the ball. Normally they take forever to answer a question, he's right on it.
I know I've made 4000 comments on this case but I honestly feel like he saved Gypsy's life. I think as Gypsy got older and really knowing she wasn't sick and wanting to be normal, I think her mother would have eventually killed Gypsy. I so see that happening.
Yes, or made her real sick,avoiding her from speaking, keep her on the bed,for real, this time, to kill a cashcow. Her mother needed that money and attention.
I think she may have too either accidentally giving her too much medication to make her seem very ill or becoming enraged if she tried to leave.
Logan Hensley i agree. Like she was trapped. And it’s so sad to hear her say that gypsy thought people would think she’d go missing and no one would look for her. Sad she doesn’t see her for what she is
Logan You mean to cover up all her deeds, so nobody would discover her lies, while Gypsy would try to free herself?
Yes in a way he saved her life. But he was also an abuse it seems. An she still would've been a slave. As he said she was. So thank God she got away
I pray Nick can be transferred to a mental health facility for the duration of his sentence. He doesn't deserve to be in prison. Unlike how Dee Dee wanted to deceptively convince the world that Gypsy was mentally challenged, Nick actually is. So sad 😞
Extremely good point. He actually has a real disability unlike gypsy.
I agree, I feel for his family. He needs mental care and not prison
That poor guy really got screwed. I get it, murder is murder but he's obviously a slow adult and he never committed a violent crime before. She walks away with 10 years and he gets life without parole? Ridiculous. I don't understand the sentences in this country.
Honestly! I get that he did murder by hands but, Did it as victor his personality side. I agree he's just a slow and mental adult who just has to serve a life sentence.
I agree !
I REALLY REALLY feel Gypsy doesn't deserve JAIL. Her mom took her whole child good away. I feel it's her way of Self defense her MOTHER could of KILLED HER.
I feel NICK tried to help but honestly I feel he needs psychological help. Always with guidance he needs to be in a medical setting to be guided. Jail will make him go completely crazy maybe suicidal
What an intelligent well spoken man!
The judge is such a sweetheart!!!
I no hes like a big teddybear!☘🐾
I really enjoyed listening to this Psychologist! He and the Judge seem like they could be brothers or buddies. Very kind mannered, easy to like, calm, collected and they also seem like they would great for Story Telling!😆

Actually Gypsy, her father, and stepmom are taking legal action against The Act. Not sure if its Hulu or the producer/writer of the show. The producer/ writer just cut off all communication with the Blanchards after the show premired

Yeah he sucks. Sadly it's the norm a lot of times with public defenders. I guess Nick hated his attorney and requested a new one but it was denied.
I agree. I made a comment about that in the other video. It's so sad.
i have level one autism. diagnosed when i was 30. hearing this doctor explain things i regonise myself in what he is telling about child stage. and back then it was not clear i had autism yet thinking back i really regonise what this doctor says about kids with autism.
Can’t believe this man got life… What a travesty of the justice system… His case needs to be on appeal with some very competent lawyers
Absolutely! How the jury could find him guilty after this testimony defies understanding! And his attorney was far from diligent!
What a lovely man. The Judge. My goodness.
goldkhw i know!
I LIKE THAT JUDGE TOO!
Yes!♡
goldkhw right?! Wonder if he he’d be down to adopt a 30 year old woman 🤔😌
I thought the same thing
Law and Crime.. Thanks for posting. Extremely interesting.👍
Paula Schroder It is. Thanks from the UK.
This Phycologist is Awesome! He knows his stuff well. He is a Great Expert.. very Admirable 👍
I thought the same. He did awesome!
no he is wrong. He is patronizing people with autism. He got it wrong.
@@rebeccadaniel2560 I'm curious as to why you say that?
I think some of the Doctor's evaluation questions are "out-dated" ... I have noticed that, quite a few people in this same age group also don't know what "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" mean either. Also, ever been somewhere in public where a fire breaks out? People DO tend to yell, "FIRE!" and run out. Only folks with an experienced background would know NOT to panic the crowd in such a manner.
YES THANK YOU! Exactly. My. Thoughts.
Let gypsy free to be with her dad. She’s been in prison long enough. Not counting the prison her life was before the murder.
Amanda Show I agree
I agree also
I agree but at least in prison she isn’t forced to lie about being sick and forced to be in a wheelchair in a sense she has more freedom in prison than what she had with her “mom”.
Completely agree
I agree, Gypsy AND her dad both deserve second chances. She gets out in 2024 I think. Hopefully prison hasn't messed her up even more
What a great clinical Dr. Psychology,excelente explanation
Bless the judge and the Dr. What wonderful knowledgeable and sincere people.
They really believe Nick ONLY has Autism and he’s already stated and shown he has multiple personalities? Even so, his mother said he suffers mentally greatly and it’s apparent from his actions!
Still don't understand how a father can be so calmly okay with never really or truly seeing her daughter alone or go to doctors appointment with her. As a mother, I will do anything and everything especially if I were to see my child not allowed to speak without her father there, same with Gypsy I would've gone crazy if I had been the father. On another note: some women really do not deserve to be mothers, geez!
Totally agree. People hardly comment about that but i also find Gypsy's dad very odd. He hardly saw her physically and conveniently puts every blame on DeeDee but could have been different if he showed up often I think.
I wonder if he ever thinks about his daughter killing him next ! 😳
I agree ☝️
The dad was shut out by DeeDee. She lied and made excuses. And moved from LA. To MO.
This is such a complicated hearing! So much wrong and justifications, it’s insane!!!
If I'm in a crowded movie theater and someone thinks it is on fire, I hope they let me know instead of calmly walking out to get help. By that time, the whole place could be up in flames.
True I would yell fire lol
Seriously, if there’s a fire people need to know so they can get tf out. What a dumb hypothetical question lol.
His reply "That's exactly what you don't want to do" is rather bizarre. Fires are dangerous and unpredictable- I'd assume especially so in theaters which are small places that have a lot of electrical/insulation/soundproofing within walls & lots of people. I know the answer he wants is probably "Calmly and quickly get up and tell an employee so the theater can be safely evacuated". If I saw a fire, there would be NO WAY I'd trust a 16 year old AMC employee who would likely call the manager for help. I'd immediately get up, and as I was walking towards an exit yell it out & help evacuate. Who knows if by the time you got to an employee & they put a plan in motion if the fire would have grown to a level that was uncontrollable. People lives are in danger- they need to know & act quickly.
Exactly, what else would you do. There are fire exits in each theater. Say, uh everyone, there's a fire and walk to the damn exit. I mean are you supposed to go get a bucket of water, and just put it out, lol.
It’s about not producing hysteria. If you yell fire everyone will jump up at once and stampede the door and many will become injured. That is why they don’t want you to yell fire. It’s common sense. But in a fire it’s also logical that you don’t want anyone to die so you would automatically yell fire to save as many as you could, because it feels like the most practical thing to do. Considering how fast a fire spreads. So the hypothetical shows empathy for others mostly.
If this happened in Europe these young people would be getting psychiatric help they obviously require, not prison! And Gypsy would be provided with help and resources to integrate back into society. I cannot believe this trial.
They do have access to psychological help, particularly Gypsy. There had to be some punishment. I also can guarantee I find situations in Europe where the public didnt feel someone should be jailed for their crimes because it was justified, and they were
@@beanj580 punishment for what ? Cause she saved her own life from that monster of her mother ? Self defense shouldn’t be punishable.
People I know with asphergers are generally smart, and incredibly smart in specific topics that they have interest in.
And not insane like nick my brother has a registered i.q. of 175 wouldn't hurt a fly works and people that are not told he has Asperger's just assume he is quiet.
My nephew has aspergers and works as a historian, he went to York university extremely smart so he's got that wrong, he may miss social ques but he gets on just fine.
Hes a level 2. Not aspergers. One person with autism is one person with autism. You can't compare them because it's a spectrum disorder and all types of people can have autism
Aspergers isn’t used as a diagnosis anymore. My niece was diagnosed Aspergers and when she found out it wasn’t used anymore she said “I don’t have it anymore.” She’s ASD level 1, but is more handicapped by anxiety and stress now as an adult than as a child. She graduated college and is a project manager with an apartment with roommates. Godejohn is a ASD Level 2. He has moderate Autism, verbal, and low functioning but at a level 2 he presents a danger to himself and others. The expert locked the case up with “...he’s a danger to himself or others.” That’s why he was convicted and sentenced to life without parole.
Their lack of emotion and love of routine make them good candidates for the army. Once they get out and lose that supervision and structure their lives often fall apart sadly
Wow, I wish he had been my Professor in my psych class!
I bet she wouldn't be sitting in jail if she poisoned her. They'd find out but I bet with enough evidence for what her mom did it would be looked at completely differently since a stabbing is so brutal. She might have gotten house arrest or into a psych ward in stead. I hope that the women she's with right now know her story and don't treat her badly.
Jill Seufert yeah true they even asked her in court why not poison her
I have followed Gyspy's story n I truly think she needs 2 b in a Hospital teaching her how 2 b a Normal person...she had never had that feeling...every pic ever taken of her n her Monster mother Dee Dee there is some kind of touching from the mother letting her know that she better not say anything!!! Also every Dr that lied 2 her when she was a young child should b Sued by her father!!! This poor girl should not b sitting in jail...she never said she wanted her mother dead...she merely wanted that Horrific life 2 STOP...!!!!!!!!!
Tracy Allen please use proper language, your comment lacks intelligence

@@jakewillson1873well said!
I think that she shouldn't have gotten that long of a sentence due to what happened to her all thru her life. I guess they don't pitty that just because she planned her mother's death. The drs are to blame for all of this because they should've done something about this
The mother is to blame. Any doctors that suspected anything, were no longer seen. The mother switched her to many many doctors so none of them could track her health or progress
In her get in 10 years she should of got 8 years in stead
@@alishawyman37 - With good time, staying out of trouble she'll serve just over 8 yrs.
Is there a Part 4.. This is very interesting.
The coolest Judge EVER!
The scenarios are good but they only indicate what he cognitively understands, not what he is socially able to apply. I assume that the Dr. Know that and they just didn't ask him. I don't think godejohn belongs in prison, but in a facility that can support him
Thx for uploading
to the people saying that nick shouldn’t be locked up...you do realize that killing someone is against the law right? he may have a mental illness that attributed to him doing this which can get him off the hook on some things but it doesn’t mean he can evade the law and some kind of consequence
He was not totally responsible. His verdict was far too harsh.
i just dont think he deserve a life imprisonment without parole...he wouldnt have done it without gypsy’s instruction,plan,consent they were so inlove.... they done it together to help each other...idk i just hope he will be sentence just as the same as gypsy....
She took a plea and he chose to roll the dice at Trial
He should have taken a plea deal like Gypsy rather than taking it to trial The jury convicted him of first degree murder He could have gotten 2nd degree with a plea deal. His attorney did him no favors
Until the next one comes along
Unfortunately, Gypsy's escape was going from one form of abuse to another. Neither her mother nor her boyfriend were good for her. I hope she gets some occupational rehabilitation and is set free.
He definitely had more than just autism
A divorced kid too
Hope gypsy & nick sees another judge really soon!!!!!
even though she was chained up in her own home ..it should be considered kidnapping ..imprisonment against ones own will...even though the mother is dead she should be charge with many crimes ..and considered a criminal.. forcing anyone over 18 to not date or marry is an imprisoning crime also
I can’t believe they didn’t look into DID since he talked about having other personalities
Jess Steele He even talked about himself in 3rd person in his texts to Gypsy.
Very good point. I found those texts very important. Third party reference is indicative. Plus he talked to himself outloud when left alone.
A lot of experts don't agree that DID exists.
He doesn't show signs for DID. Schizo maybe. But he does not have DID
I don’t think it’s fair that nick was given life without parole. His mental condition should have been taken into consideration. He thought he was saving gypsy. He wouldn’t have killed anyone if gypsy hasn’t asked him too. He should have got 20 years then release. Nick obviously has a severe mental disability. This should always be taken into consideration during trials like this. And the sentence should be changed accordingly.
He knew right from wrong
I think this dr explained the spectrum and the new ability of understanding with this and how board it is . As a mother of a child on this spectrum I know some people are ignorant to understanding how complicated it can be with a high functioning adult on the spectrum that is lacking general understandings of basic human reactions interactions and concepts no matter how hard you try to teach and guide... it's a brain wiring issue and can be invisible disability to people that don't understand and they classify them as a mental health and danger to society problem. Locking them up is not the answer constant guidance love and understanding is needed.
Rebecca Mcmurtrie I know several parents with kids on lower and higher ends of the spectrum. None of their kids killed. People need to stop using mental illness as an excuse for people who are just plain evil.
@@NennieC123 your ignorance to the autistic spectrum is amusing it's NOT mental illness it's a disability and it's not a pass to commit crime but a life sentence it's not practical here and you obviously have a opinion of the uneducated population.
Nennie C It doesn’t matter specific situations you think you understood. Disabilities are complex, just listen.
I agree, I fear for my 8 year old with Aspergers. I fear for him in the world we live in.
Nennie C exactly lol I know many too and none have these tendenciesand desires for rape like this man and they are gentle and wouldnt kill. he is truly a danger to others
I was under the impression that hearsay was not allowed in court and yet this witness said more than once, "his father told me."
hiii... Um, my first reaction to " a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" was "HUH!?" (then i thought about it and said "what I have is more valuable than what I don't") BUT for the crowded theater i said, "FIRE!" and imagined myself fleeing.
so uh, i feel like this are tricky for anyone tbh
Hahaha I was looking for someone who thought the same 😂 thank you
I’ve watch from Hulu and after Hulu I came here, i am disabled and Idk how I would feel if my mother forced me to be disabled. I’m glad Gypsy somewhat “free” but then again...idk if it was a good way to get out. I have mix feeling.
Tiffany Sanchez i have started watching The Act on Hulu, I actually only know about this whole case because my daughter was an extra on the set. This case is insane, because honestly, I don’t feel that Gypsy deserves jail time, she was a prisoner...
She was being held against her own will and felt it was her only way out.
I feel like murder isn’t justified. Gypsy did not understand that their was other ways to get out like instead of performing on that charity stage she could’ve just stood up and with all the cameras and stuff. I just feel like she went along with it when it was convenient for her and then she was too afraid to go against her mom, so she orchestrated a murder.
This doctor is an absolute pleasure to listen to. I love psychology because it’s interesting, but there is so much to it. This guy does a great job at answering questions in a clear and concise manner and doesn’t ramble on or is long-winded in his responses…. (Like that other doctor was…)
Gypsy was victim she should be set free and get help for what her mother did to her!!
I'd like to give all of these tests a go myself 🤔
Let her go! She needs a lot of love! Why can you people see what her mother did to her! She was afraid of her mother! She could not leave none believe her! And her boyfriend he also needs help why give him life in jail! I hope she Sue's all those doctors that didnt help! Also hulu pay her for her story!
This case proves that Doctors are business men.
Free Gypsy .haven't she been punished enough,her childhood has been in prison by her mum's cruelty. Who's the victim? Gypsy's the real victim.. Give her a chance to live her life freely and enjoy it to her fullness.. Don't judge her because she had only one way to freedom its sad to punished her for her involvement in her mother's murder but what about Gypsy's punishment, she went through by a woman who controlled her life as a child with fake illnesses and her mother manipulated her. I thank God Gypsy survived throughout her life on all those medication her mum fed her. Have some consideration for Gypsy and have compassion on her. Gypsy been trial and convicted and imprisoned since her childhood by her mother.. OMG I can't imagine what abuse she encounter by her mother truly who's the victim.
This guy actually isn't representing people with autism well at all. The defendent is a sociopath with classic cluster b symptoms, not someone on with Autism Spectrum Disorder. He is picking and choosing symptoms to make this sociopath seem ASD instead. He didn't test him on any scale for personality disorders like sociopathy or NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) making his assessment null and biased. People with Autism have empathy, emotions, and a sense of right and wrong, they just dont show it in affect, but they rate super high on testing for empathy, honesty, and caring very deeply mostly.
Do you know how many sexual predators and violent abusers try to claim Autism to avoid taking responsibility or to get away with it? A lot. And do you know how much it pisses me off as a behavior analyst myself? A lot.

Well said!!
They are trying to make nick look like he was not in his right state of mind. But yet... he controlled gypsy!!! She trusted anyone to be there to help her escape. Yeah it was her plan both he agreed to do it. He told her what to do and what to wear made her dress up and act like him but In some fantasy world they were living in he was her prince and was gonna save her from her wicked mom who was doing all kinds of things to her. It’s basically a bad Disney movie gone insane.
Agree
Gypsy's favorite Disney princess is Rapunzel. Her story is a sick and twisted mirror of a fairytale gone so very wrong.
There is THREE things a person must struggle with to be diagnosed with autism, NOT TWO! Ever heard to the triad of impairment?!
There are 3 main characteristics of autism, however it's not necessarily exhibited by all people on the spectrum, so you're wrong.
Any man who loves someone would kill the person who was tormenting that person. Nick is a dam hero. Let him go
Please let Nick out of prison he is a young man he is not truly understand the reality of what he truly did they don't very really feel love but when they find that one person that they feel comfortable with they will help those birthdays they can because it's hard to find someone that they will trust and Nick really trusted Gypsy and vice versa.
As much as this doctor was correct as diagnosing him with autism and such he still didn’t explain if he had a personality disorder not sure 🤔 if I’m right but I’m just a psychology student but I can obviously tell that young man also has a personality disorder it’s disturbing even the way he staring.
I was thinking the same thing about possible personality disorder....I'm shocked that all he's diagnosed with supposedly is autism. It would appear there's more going on with him but I guess not?
I'm a grad student studying to be a therapist-- he definitely is showing a lot of traits that would make me wonder about a personality disorder, especially ASPD. But from what I'm learning I know that it typically takes a lot time to be able to diagnose a personality disorder. Multiple sessions with a really in depth history. You have to be able to demonstrate that it's been a pattern since at least early adolescence typically. I'm not sure how long they had for an evaluation? I definitely think there's something else going on here too. His autism diagnosis makes sense to me, but he's showing some callous/unemotional traits too that are outside of the autism spectrum.
Katherine Stahl i completely agree I’m glad someone agrees with me in a way as well It’s just somethings just didn’t seem right when he diagnosed him
Laughed when the psychologist said you don't yell fire because it causes panic , I'm pretty sure most people yell fire 🔥 unless you're more concerned about your own welfare and self preservation before anyone else's and wait until you get to the lobby and casually mention it to the snack bar attendant .🍿
I think Gypsys Father failed her!
Agreed he showed up when it was time to be on tv though
I dont think so the mom was the problem the entire time she was the one that pushed the father away I think if the father knew about Gypsy's condition he could have gotten her out of it. There is alot of "what ifs" tbh
@@Maria67362 How could he not know the truth about his daughters nightmare of a life?! He should have noticed something wasn't right! As her Father, he should have stepped up and made it his business to know everything going on with his daughter! Had he had some sort of relationship with her, he would have found out the truth!
@@teresaworth1581 right, but Dee Dee would not let him get into their lives in other reports it mentions that he would keep in contact and they Dee Dee later on would tell Gypsy that He didnt care about her and he had a new family that he cared more about
@@Maria67362 but he himself talked about what a nutcase his exwife was, I just feel like he should have made more of an effort to have a relationship with his daughter and just maybe some of this could have been avoided, I can't picture my husband not being suspicious and making it his business to put two and two together if one of our kids had multiple life threatening illnesses!
This is so much like my son. He was born in a very difficult long labor. Found that night there was something wrong with him already . My son has all of these signs and conditions. I truly believe that young man should not be in jail I truly believe he was only helping
Cherie Johnson my son is the same he was diagnosed autistic he’s a gentle soal would not hurt anyone this murder has nothing to do with him haveing autism , he clearly had other issues going on , and if de de had lived she would off ended up killing gipsy so he did most probably save her life in the end
Is Kent nicks psychologist or is he just a psychologist that the courts used to have nick evaluated?
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Nick was diagnosed with Autism long before this crime was committed. His mother mentioned it in the initial interview. This psychologist evaluated him once he was in custody.
His behavior does not indicate autism.
I know what you are asking. I thought the psychologist said that he helped Nick fill out his disability paperwork, but I could’ve not heard correctly. That paperwork was filled out before this crime occurred.
Seems like the Dr is forgetting that many people on the ASD spectrum are extremely intelligent.
Does anyone know if Gypsy's trial is in full anywhere? I can't seem to find it.
I think she plead guilty and made a deal with the state. I don’t believe she ever went to trial, but I could be wrong.
She still mixed her fantasies with a real expectations of what is love? besides that remember that as soon you get 15 and over your hormones get crazy
She was 23???not 15
This is front line educational front bottle field very educational text book respect to the doctor 👏
Now I'm thinking they did this on purpose to help him stay out of prison.
Then gypsy would've never went to prison and her mother would have
Maybe or killed gipsy and thered be no case
The forensic psychologist though. He explains well.
True , I’ve learned several things from him in this video

I feel bad for gypsy because there could have been another way to handle this situation. She could have simply just told the truth and it would be her mom in jail but because her mom mentally and physically abused her she didn't know any better. It's sad because all gypsy wanted is to be free and live her life but now she spending her life in a cell just for killing someone who tournamented her
I have been immersed in this crime story. After watching the Hulu doc I came on here and just seen everything. Besides her cute squeaky voice, gypsy deserves to be free but overall there was a murder
I would like to look up the tests the Dr. Is referencing. Can anyone clearly understand which tests he is describing? I could only hear the first test which was the Rorschach inkblot test from 1920. Thank you in advance for your response if you are able to hear this. I have rewound this audio multiple times.
Bharmony he gave the WAIS-IV, WRAT-4, RPAS, MMPI, and TAT.
Wait...talking to yourself is a bad thing? Lol it's how I work out thoughts.

Nick’s sentence was unfair , he needs help .😔
I think the psychology report of Nick is really interesting. It certainly explains his behaviour.
He doesn’t have a behavior. He’s answering questions and explaining things.
@@alundoncaster To which his behavior can be observed through
No. It does not at all. In no way does an autism diagnosis explainhis behavior
He gives a 1 hour summary from two meetings of 2 hours each?
Because most people have little knowledge of psychology and psychological problems, he had to explain his methods, the tests he used, and the various psychological issues he found in the defendant. Actually, this was a fairly quick testimony by a doctor.
I've never seen a court in this day and age were someone has to hold a microphone. Is this just a little itty bitty town or something.

Shanna Ortega/Canales I would imagine it was much more stressful than that kind of activity would be for most.
Psychology is a joke. These test can easily be cheated. You can't read another person's mind. You can get a vague idea of one's general behavior, but there are to many factors and situations that simply can't be demonstrated in a 4 hour "evaluation". Most psychologists end up quitting because for one, they wanna blow their brains outs from trying to fix something that is different from one person to the next, nothing is typical. The dsm could be rewritten every year.
Where’s the rest?
Just look up Dee Dee Blanchard murder trail verdict and it should show up
Listening to this Doctor it is difficult for me to believe Godejohn has this disorder.
Well, after listening to both this man and the other, they do agree he is on the spectrum, but it probably wasn't a factor in his comprehension of the situation. His IQ while lower was still considered average. The main thing it affected was his response time. I think the other doctor explained it better and possibly did a more thorough job on evaluating him. After hearing from both the doctor's, Gypsy, the lady who interviewed him and the texts, I get the sense that Nick was no way impaired in his decision making in this case. Had Gypsy sprung this on him as a sudden thing and he had little time to react,maybe. But he had plenty of time to process it, and even though Gypsy suggested it, he was highly involved in the planning.
Susan Sehorn can you please explain why?
What about DiD? Antisocial Personality disorder?
Ok I’m sorry but if you child is autistic then why would you let him go all the way to a different state buy himself? He must not be that autistic right? I’m no expert in autistic I’m just asking
The mother has been neglecting him. I dont put it past his dad.
An autistic peron can travel. How they manage the stress and anxiety is dependent on the autistic person.
In the mother’s interview, she said the first time she had no idea he was even planning on going out of state until the taxi pulled up in their driveway. Her interview did not indicate that she was a neglectful mother, but quite the opposite. You have to remember that information came from her ex-husband. We have no way of knowing what their relationship was like. He could have been bitter or resentful because of the marriage, divorce, and/or custody issues. Look up his mom’s interview with detective. You may walk away with a different impression of his mom.
I mean, in Nicks defense for the proverbs, I had absolutely no idea what “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” meant until I just now looked it up. I’ve never heard of that phrase in my life.
Anyone down here complaining that the doctor is talking to the jury?
This poor girl shouldn't have done one day in prison. She was imprisoned by her mother since she was a toddler. I also hope she gets paid for the show based on her story. It's so sickening that a mother would do such horrific things just for money and attention.

Hold up. I recently saw a TED talk regarding the Rorscach Inkblot test, and it said that it's not used by psychologists very much anymore, because it's said to have inconsistencies. ua-cam.com/video/LYi19-Vx6go/v-deo.html. Also, if his interpretation was basic, how was he able to create all those crazy fantasies he had with Gypsy? You have to be somewhat intelligent to make up those kinds of stories, UNLESS he was mimicking (echolalia) what he saw in movies, internet, etc. Also, I also don't know what the bird and the bush one means, AND probably bc I would freak out, I would yell "Fire!" and run out of the building too. Just being honest okay. Fires are QUICK - that would probably be the smart thing to do if you're trying to save yourself...but you also need to think about other people - the PC answer would be the opposite. He was probably just being honest.
Poor kid. These assessment tests don't indicate anything, this is bullshit. DAT test especially. I think abstractly and I can't describe those last two "A bird in the hand something about a bush ". I don't know what it interprets to even though I've heard it so many times. And yelling "fire" is obviously not the greatest thing to do but his frame of thought is to notify everyone so they can get the f out of that situation quickly. This is so subjective it's kinda sick.
It's a good thing he didn't work inside the pizza parlor. Kitchen no less and making pizza. After I learned he was doing something weird in a McDonalds for 9 hours, just sitting in there. At what time is enough enough. Nine hours, whewwwweee! There is no excuse for what he ultimately did.
