If anyone ever calls you, threatening suicide unless you show up:
1. Tell them you are on the way.
2. Call your local police and send them.
3. You can't help.
@@the.meandering No. And if someone is ready to clock out for good, they don't call you over to talk them out of it. :( You would never know it was on their mind. Depression, and especially as deep as suicide, is damned sneaky, and very clever.
This young man had problems, and could have been helped. The judge could have held the kid in custody. So many little things and both people would have a future.
I've never been in a 12 step, but it seems one of their rules is to never visit someone alone if they call out to their sponsor. - Someone correct this if I'm wrong.
@@DEATH-THE-GOAT Aaaah! The ancestral enemy of my grandfather's greatest grandfathers, how do you in this century, oh revenant?

Draugr are easily the most terrifying "vampiric" (just to categorize for anyone that doesn't know, this gives an inkling) creatures.

Stay furious and grow, the world will wake again.
YES ugh.

This one has me sobbing. The fact that she raced over to his house in an attempt to stop him taking his life the first time shows what a compassionate person this girl was. Only to be senselessly taken later. My heart goes out to her family. So tragic.
"He was extremely intelligent"
"He told her he had cervical cancer"
🤣
Well he told various people not just a “her” but yeah wtaf lol
And now you know why D&D has a stat for wisdom and a stat for intelligence.
He had psychosis. Despite how intelligent someone is, they can believe some incredible and illogical things when they’re in a psychotic state.
How nobody realized for such a long time that he was mad as a bat is beyond me!
TEENAGE GIRLS: SAD BOI PROBLEMS ARE NOT YOURS TO FIX............ THERE'S PROBABLY A GOOD REASON NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO BE AROUND THEM
Spelling words incorrectly doesn't make you cool it makes you dumb....boi
Violent stalkers should absolutely not be released on bail WTF
That judge should be re-assigned a job as a road sweeper. There are circumstances under which bail should never be granted and this was one of those.
This story breaks my heart. Christie shouldn't have been let down like this. And her mother needs to understand it wasn't her that caused this. She did all that was humanly possible to see her daughter was safe. The only one to blame was her killer, who I will not grant the decency of a name.
No. Lawmakers are also to blame. So is society. If they didn’t have a law that forces judges to grant bail to men who commit violent acts against women just because they don’t have any prior convictions - not even arrests, but specifically convictions - this little asshole never would have been granted bail to begin with. Society first and foremost, though, since we put less value on the lives of women and do jack shit to curb violence against women. If we didn’t treat women like property and second class citizens at best, there wouldn’t be loopholes in the law that allow domestic abusive men to walk free to continue stalking a woman until they kill them.
Should a woman be granted bail in the same conditions? lol.
Nobody treats women as ''property'' or ''second class citizens''. Pure bullshit. He was released because the judge was an idiot. We put less values onlives of women?? Are you smoking crack?? There are tons of ressources helping women and almost none for men. Everything in society coddles to woman in 2023. You are either lying to yourself or as delusional as the fake schizo this video talks about. Gtfoh. ''little asshole''. Let me guess, you're gonna accuse me of being a misogonyst. I'll tell you what, I accuse you of being a misandrist...@@Tsumami__ You're hate for men shows and your painfully projecting it. lmao. Men ''women are treated like 2nd class citizens'' what are you smoking?? go to any Corporate job or University , you will see it is the CONTRARY. I get it, you've been hurt by a few assholes in your life. Well honey, we've all been hurt by the opposite sex at some point. Women abuse men WAYMORE and get away with it like nothing happened. I bet you don't care because all that matters to you is women 😂 You're living in 1950's . The reality is the complete opposite in 2023. Learn some compassion and empathy for the opposite sex and don't be so delusional. You woudn't last a month living ''like a man'' , you'd wanna kill yourself after you see how terribly you are treated. No, you can't assume it until you've ACTUALLY lived it. As your post clearly shows, you have absolutely no idea... absolutely delusional! The kid wasn't released because ''society is misogynistic'' lmao. He was released because Judge was an idiot. Not because ''the patriarchy'' lmao.
100 percent agree with everything you just said
All of these podcasts are so professional I really enjoy listening every day!!! They are so helpful to pass the day as I have terminal breast cancer.it is now 6 am and I am already tuned in with my EarPods !! ☘️🇮🇪
All the best to you 🙏🌹
@@Elley1991 Thank you !!! All the best to you too !
You are the KING of criminal podcasts! Your voice,diction,eloquence & presentation of the cases are 10/10!
I listen to many true crime podcasts and this one is by far the most professional and educational of them all.
Wow literally every single person involved failed Christie. This one is really upsetting because her murder easily could have been avoided. But everything that had to go wrong did go wrong... smh. Rip
Murphy's law at its worst. I don't believe for a minute this guy wasn't completely rational at the time of the murder, he planned it he snuck the knife he didn't do it when his mother was home, he had the wearwithall to hide the knife, he waited till his mother had left, he knew he had to show Tracy's mother or whoever opened the door the knife or he wouldn't get in, and he had no trouble knowing where Christy was it wasn't like he didn't know where to find her. He was maybe schizophrenic, but even schizophrenics know right from wrong. This was not somebody who ran out of their house with a knife and just started stabbing somebody anybody, this was a planned and targeted attack on a specific person at a specific place at a specific time. And above all, it was successful.
If I was Christy's mother I would never buy this not for a minute but for their sanity I'm glad they do.
I was so hopeful (though suspicious because this IS casefile) when they pushed so hard for him to not be near her when awaiting trial.
I thought this was a good sign.
Cases like this stick with me forever. To think her final moments were pain and pure terror and all because everyone in her life failed her. Life isn’t fair, it’s cruel and unrelenting. Cherish every moment you have with your friends and family.
Only one person is responsible for this.
That’s the thing. Sometimes it’s better to plead guilty. At least 25 years has an end date. You plead insanity, you may be held in an institution for the rest of your life. Let’s hope. For the Marceau’s sake.
The second judge is completely useless. She should have researched the case before releasing him. What is the point of having judges if they are not going to do their jobs properly. She should also be imprisoned and lose her job for life
Imo it should have been enough for her to read his allegedly contrite letter wherein he clearly wrote that even his victim thought that it was all her fault.
I think the second judge was a "he" not a "she."
The judge who denied him bail was a woman. The judge who then granted him bail was a man. He did not do his job properly. She did.
@@leahstone9308 They didn't tell him how close they lived from each other? And a slew of other information. The prosecutor dropped the ball too.
How infuriating, Christie was so let down by everyone and paid for it with her life. Terrible, terrible case, such lack of communication and care for the effing victim.
I know I shouldn't say it, but I hate that murderer, yes he has MH issues, but he was so manipulative, calculating and just plain evil
RIP Christie
And not even the small consolation of knowing he's rotting in jail. Another shocking injustice for the family.
@A SR yes that is some comfort. I don't pretend to have intimate knowledge of either prison or an institution myself but as a New Zealander I'm uncomfortably aware of the reputation of our prisons as rather cushy in comparison to that of other countries. So I can only surmise that a psychiatric unit is somewhat less oppressive. But again I'm only going on my emotions here not actual research. I just hope he's not enjoying his life. As terrible as that may sound.
I don't think that is bad to say at all. We need to protect the victims.. He should have lost his right to bail, my gosh, he had admitted to what he had done. I feel the same , he manipulated the system and I can just imagine how easy it must be for professional criminals..damn scary.
I think we true crime lovers all have cases that really hit us. I'm not ashamed to say how much I hate Josh Powell and his sadistic family. (He killed his wife then later himself and their 2 boys)
His letter should have raised some flags with more people... Don't these people purportedly work with deviants all the time??
My thought exactly! Should have enough to deny bail at the very least.
Exactly! "I'm sorry but it's her fault"? Not exactly remorse
If someone gave me a weird s***ide ultimatum I'd call the police and an ambulance instead of going there.
No words can explain the incompetence and the lack of concern by the judge. Worst thing is they never get punished for wrong decisions. Heart felt thoughts for Christie’s family. Absolutely tragic
The second judge didn't give a flip. This can't be the first time he willy nilly granted bail which resulted in tragedy. Defense attorneys should defend their clients but they should never be allowed to defend them at the expense of allowing harm come to the victims.
Yeah I agree, it's his fault that Chand murdered Christie and karma comes right back at that idiotic, disgraced judge who doesn't even know how to do his fucking job.
That’s not the fault of the defense attorney, that’s the fault of the judge that was too stupid to read his clearly indignant letter and New Zealand lawmakers that passed the law that allowed him to be granted bail to begin with.
What , they let him go on bail over that riddiculous letter? Who would want to see their attacker again? If they had taken Christie's first attack seriously, you would hold some one that mentally unstable in jail without bond.
The leftist running the shit shows in the liberal asylums of New Zealand,Australia and most of Europe are more dangerous and insane than the monsters they turn loose on society.
A compassionate young lady who was good to people
How incredibly saddening, infuriating, and confounding this case is, all at the same time.
Since you’re posting, nothing is interfering with my happiness 😁
😄😄😄
Second that
27:50 admitting he wanted vengeance still - Christ!!! This was SO PREVENTABLE
To totally avoid the problem of suspects behind bars for serious violent crimes being granted, for whatever reason, bail they should be one law that applies in every province or state. There should be no bail issued for those who
1) threatened to, or committed, a violent attack on another + who also has a serious mental illness
+/ or has a past history of committing serious violent acts, or murder, of others,
2) anyone who has requested that the court issue an order of protection against someone + that person has violated that order then bail should be revoked permanently.
These should become laws + it would protect so many innocent people, who have gone through the trauma of being attacked stalked or threatened by another, from further attacks by a suspect arrested initially + then issued bail before the court case.
This gives the suspect time to intimidate or kill the main witnesses who are set to testify against them.
The issue is false accusations. If someone falsely accuses you of x violent crime, then based on the above, no bail would be granted.
Which is unfair to the accused.
It’s very tricky. As we our innocent until proven guilty.
But in this case he admitted he did it. So IMO no bail should hand been granted.
@@mispelling Usually in a violent altercation 911 is called + based on who is injured, + the extent of the injuries, that determines who is charged + arrested.
If the suspect has a history of violent behavior + his version of what happened isn't supported by the evidence, but supports the victims version, then that says a lot about the defendent.
No way should he be granted bail!
The defence lawyer that fought to get Chand back out on the streets only for him to murder needs to be locked up for life
I've often thought that lawyers arguing for these violent pieces of s**ts to get bail should be held responsible for what happens afterwards.
The judge is the one who ultimately made the decision, Judge David McNaughton. He should be arrested.
Isn’t that there job? Court Appointed and provided. If they don’t do an adequate job, a mistrial would be done
Sure don't blame the people who enact the laws blame the people who follow them. 🙄🙄🙄
@@rachelsill79 them too obviously 🙄
I'm always stunned that authorities think its ok to release a predator on bail to stay with their mum, as if most mothers are qualified to control, handle, or detain a dangerous, and often mentally unstable, person! If anything, the fact that their child has become a predator would indicate that, as a parent, they lack that kind of authority or control over that person. It's crazy.
I’m stunned by this story and heartbroken for Tracey and the rest of the family 😢.
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔💔💔 her poor family, i cant even imagine the pain❤💖❤
How does a person who kidnaps, assaults and threatens someone then get out on bail only a few hundred metres from that person
Supposedly ‘supervised’ 24/7 by a mother, an aunt and a sister
Who thought that was a good idea ??
A very sad story... The murder didn’t have to happen. I hope the judge who granted this monster bail suffers with guilt every dysfunctional of his miserable life...
PS... He was crazy like a fox...
Foxes are not crazy...that's a soley human trait.
The whole judicial system over there is insane,it in itself is evil ,stupidity, incompetence and reckless disregard are the hallmarks of the pro criminal snakes that have slithered into places of power.
Except when they get rabies 😆.
Yup Judge David McNaughton - idiot
The judge should be forced to do prison time. He doesn't deserve to be a judge. ANyone else committing this serious type of error at work would be fired. But hey! They're above the law in US and Canada.
I couldn't keep listening anymore after Christie was killed. Everyone failed her and I am feeling unbelievable rage at the the system that failed and at the POS that killed her. I googled up his sentence instead and I am just enraged. POS should have rotted in jail.
The letter he wrote was absolutely delusional. How was that accepted by the court?
I am so mad at both Chand for murdering Christie and the judge who gave Chand bail, what the hell is wrong with him, he ought to be sacked since his stupidity cost Christie to have her life taken away from Chand. As for Chand, I hate that idiot and he knew what he was doing, he's also a loser as well.
He was such a pathetic creature.
This one hurt my feelings
This is one of the most heartbreaking cases of injustice I have ever heard and it makes me so upset and also very angry. So many people failed Christie and her murder could have been prevented. 😢
Could have been prevented. This is very upsetting I actually want to cry
Was this really psychosis? Or just a guy who can't accept a woman saying no?
that apology letter was full of red flags
Yes and it's also a load of lies and bs.
If I was his mother I’d be so ashamed of myself for allowing this to happen. To agree to watch him while he was on parole and then go to work and not bother, is bloody terrifying !! She should’ve been locked up in prison. The judge should never have given him parole AT ALL , let alone left his poor, terrified younger sister to ‘look’ out for him - he could have murdered her too…. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 I do think that the Judge was unaware of the ridiculously tiny distance between the perpetrators and victims home, as well as how young his sister was… This absolutely affected his application for bail. His mother’s actions are unforgivable, to say that she didn’t realise she had to watch him is absurd…
41:40 to skip ads
Perfect timing just had second covid jab now casefile to chill too 😍
Proves how dumb the law is allowing physcos out on bail.
Blood on the hands on the law
Utterly enraging. Idiot judge McNaughton, pathetic psychiatrists, the creep was probably playing them all. His mother should have taken care of business.
Too many mistakes made in giving him bail. The system was broken.
Great way again to start my Saturday morning!!!
Insomniac ganggggggg
Bloody oath. Sending zzzz from auck nz
and cases like this continue to happen all over the world and Judges an defenders have blood on their ands EVERYTIME!
Poor girl with a heart of gold, What a demented monster, there needs to be laws changed for specific threats. May Christie rest in peace.
And in spite of all those things that went horribly wrong, I am deeply impressed with the NZ justice system! Starting with taking the victim's feeling into account, and ending with finding all those inside the system, including Judges as having done wrong … exemplary. Seems to me that next time, they will handle these things way better, whereas in, say, the US, far worse outrages happen all the time and there does not seem to be light in sight yet.
The world we live in is legally insane
He is a monster in human form.
Thank you
Thanks Mate 👍 Saturday night in lockdown , wet & freezing 🥶 in Melbourne 😵💫 Off to bed with my favourite “CASEFIILE “ 😉
They won't do anything to him
one reality is our courts are overflowing and there isn't enough ressources/manpower for prosecuting people on time anymore. The overall effect of all this is the laws are created with any excuse to release people early. In Canada, they release violent bikers and hitmen who committed murder because the trials ''did not take place fast enough'' and they give them 2-3x time served. So people known hitmen are released after killing in 3-8 years on parole etc .
On the other hand, if they create more jail supply, people criticize ''the system'' for being a prison industrial complex and privatizing prisons for profit. You can't win really...
Nothing better to celebrate my two week anniversary of my second jab then Case File along with my coffee.
@DeFCoN nothing wimpy about getting vaccinated dude. I have an 85 year old Dad and an immuno compromised grandkid who I absolutely adore that I want to be as safe as possible.
Sad
Frustrating
Infuriating
If someone tells you what he told her, ask where they are so you can come check on them. Then call the police to that address. Do not show up
It's a manipulation tactic
You are not a therapist
That ending, tho.
Thanks.
That DoorDash ad is a bit poorly timed (right after Chand was knocking on the door with a knife in hand) but still hilarious.
Omg. I was like 😳😳
but also if you're worried about someone coming to your house to murder you why would you open the door to strangers/when someone you aren't expecting randomly shows up????????
So after 9/11 no one should answer the door or leave their house?. It's called not living in fear.
@@Tupacnas ummmmmmmmmm that was over a decade ago. this dude waited LESS THAN A MONTH to come attack them. I'd have been on guard till i new he was back in jail and not LIVING A FEW HUNDERED METERS AWAY
@@Tupacnas lmao i also didn't say anything about not leaving their house...just don't open the door to unexpected strangers/guests????? until your attacker is in jail again?
@@Tupacnas also... 9/11 was a plane attack. It would've made waaaaaaaaaaaaay more sense to be like "so what, after 9/11 you take no flights and avoid skyscrapers and important government buildings?"
@@katieb.1184 thanks for the analysis. Now analyse Deez nuts
I have to say though, why in the world would her mom only after one month after he’s been released, she didn’t think it’s not smart or safe to open the door without looking to see who it is first?
Only before this insane nightmare could she use the reasoning that she was thinking it might be the package delivery man.
At that point their world was different and she should have thought, acted and reasoned different.
And yet I can’t imagine and feel sad for her,
how she must be feeling afterwards.
Sick and tired of the insanity defense. RIP Christie. Wake up justice system.......
This was so sad and unfortunate on many levels. I can’t imagine the sort of guilt her parents are living with.
Due diligence people!
All his traits lay at the severe end of the Borderline personality disorder spectrum
Agree.
_(20+ yrs working at an psychiatric hospitle)_
@A SR
That's not an opinion but a rather good theory, I'll say.
A goddamn better conclutio than the bunch of tosh the consulted academia at the trial came up with.
‘Chan confide in Christie that he missed his period and he thinks he’s pregnant’
And where was Akshay's ever vigilant Mom? You remember; the one who was assumed with the Aunt & daughter's help to be monitoring him 24/7... although they later denied that understanding.
We all should remember that the justice system is more system than justice. And defend your family accordingly. Judges rarely live in close proximity to perpetrators, and pass judgement accordingly. So Judge David McNaughton suffered no pangs in granting bail to Akshay.
👏👏👏
Terrible story. The girl needed protection, people, with weapons, by her side. No good thinking the State will do this. Here, we have a saying, "Better to be judged by twelve, than carried by six." Peace be unto all the Gentiles.
Door dash is a rip off
Never tried it but i believe ya 👍
4$ bag of chips. 20$ with fees, delivery fees and taxes and tips.
Why the fuck did the parents stay in the area knowing that he was going to kill their daughter. Failed by the justice system and her parents. Move away immediately if your child isn’t protected against an insane monster
He would have found her wherever she went. The correct solution was keeping this monster in jail. Period.
Seems like criminals have more rights than victims. Chand was faking crazy, and should be in prison serving hard time! The second judge has so many excuses for granting bail instead of apologizing for making a bad call and taking some responsibility for Christie's murder. Too bad the parents couldn't sue the judge personally for endangering their daughter's safety.
Perfect timing I needed to kill a few hours lol
The fact he was obsessed with capitalism proves he was insane and needs to be locked away to not hurt anyone.
🥺💜💛💜💛💜🕊
Your advert is ott
Don't open the door peep holes in door so you can see who was outside.
Quit blaming Christie's mother, how was she supposed to know that Akshay Chand was the one knocking on the door? Also the only one at fault for Christie's death is Chand himself.
Yeah that letter was real “heartfelt”. He literally continued to blame his whiny baby incel feelings on her in the letter and continued to reiterate his nonsensical bullshit about how he “needs her help”. HELP WITH WHAT?
What he needed was to just drink his little cocktail in private and get off the planet without murdering anyone.
🤟
Was Tracy just stupid...she could have prevented her daughter's murder just by looking out the window or peephole.
First of all she didn't know who the person was until she took a look at his face, second of all quit blaming Tracy, it's Chand who is to blame and don't you fucking dare call Tracy stupid, it's Chand who is stupid here and the judge too for deciding that it's ok to give bail to Chand.
@@samih5916Face it; it was moronic for her to just open the door that early in the morning without knowing who it may be...Chand is East Indian and it would only a glimpse to know that it was him with all that's been going on; plus this doesn't require cursing to convey your imbecilic thoughts.
@@markeywestskies6503 shut up, it's not moronic of her to open the door and no I will not face it. The only ones who are moronic is Chand and you.
Also Chand is from Fiji, not India and obviously you didn't even listen to the whole podcast.
My thoughts are not imbecilic, only yours is and don't you ever call me that again you hear me never, also Christie should be alive instead of you loser.
Wow that's my sir name
From the outset I didn't believe this story at all.
why not?
Yeah for multiculturalism
Grow up

@@PoetofHateSpeech I'm not interested in having a debate with you. I don't even care what views you have on multiculturalism. If you want to have a discussion with others about it, go ahead but this video's comment section isn't the right place.
The video focused solely on a tragic murder committed by a deranged monster, but then you go posting a comment with a 'culture war' angle to it. That's what I had an issue with. God, I hate online discourse these days, seeing everything thought one lens with no nuance.
So little cultural enrichment and then this...sad anyways
So many crimes are committed while CRIMINALS are on BAIl.. I am hearing more and more about individuals being bailed out only to commit even worse acts. This poor girl..#CHRISTIESLAW.🙏
