Absolutely ,it always amazes me how many killers either get a slap on the wrist for murder r get out early for good behavior ,I think if U murder someone ,unless it was some kind of freak accident ,U should give up the rest of your life ,I don't believe in rehabilitation for killers r rapest .
Please tell me what rehabilitation you're talking about because over 28 years as a True Crime fan I haven't seen much effort at rehabilitation at all in America's prisons. They are basically just human warehouses. But besides rehabilitation how about doing to prevent crime before it even happens ??? SO much money is spent After a crime has been committed on police investigations, trials, and incarceration but nothing is seriously spent researching why people really commit crimes and how to stop it. This leads to irrational conclusions òne of which is that a person who commits a murder in an otherwise crime free life is simply irredeemable and should be put away for life.
It is. But she knew on day one, and instead of removing herself from this guy, elected to pursue a relationship with him. She likely only came forward when the relationship terminated.
"Things like that" happen all the time in Lexington too. I know, because I live in Lexington. It's a city where someone is a victim of a homicide every ten to twelve days. There are approximately 30 murders here in Lexington annually.
This horror of a human was in a car accident somewhere around 2012 and is now paralyzed. Better yet, he was denied assistance by an organization that provides customized wheelchairs to deserving parties once they were informed of his past. So, while I hate the fact that he served so little time in prison, it does appear that he is paying for his crime through the magic of karma.
~ Did the Judge have their head up their @ss? Karma at its best! I mean, that short prison term, at least the criminal got some justice served on his worthless self.
To protect the innocent, you would be surprised to learn how many innocent people get convicted by juries every year. If we all don't have rights none of us do . I'm not a coddler of criminals but if the police don't do their jobs by collecting enough evidence to convict a person then that's on the police
GRAPE SHOT 🇨🇦 Absolutely agree. It never fails in any crime show comes the comment " it never happens here ". That's an absurd statement, it's the States!!! of course it happens there, it's the USA
I honestly think these people are handed a script. Lights up a room Helps everyone Give the shirt off their back Loves to laugh Loves life Best friend for life Best father/mother Always wants to make others smile. I have yet to meet one person with all these wonderful qualities.
And then even though they have his confession on tape his case is thrown out due to a technicality, our justice system is soo screwed up! But someone said he was in an accident and is paralyzed so karma came back to bite him in the butt!
Talking about Lexington like crime is unheard of. They say this shit on EVERY SINGLE crime show about murder. Every town is “the beautiful type of place where you don’t lock your doors.” Every women is “a beautiful blonde bombshell.” Every victim “was such a sweet, caring, loving person with a smile that would light up a room.”
This is true with the exception of Chicago. I was there 6 years ago for a hedging conference and there were a little over 100 shootings on a four day fourth of July weekend. I think around 15 of them ended up being fatal. Everyone was just ho hum about it as it was totally expected.
Dude, there are 77 neighborhoods in Chicago, it is a huge City and it depends on where you are. The west side and the entire South Side is an absolute sh*t show, so yes, shootings are constantlyyy happening over there and they are absolutely expected in those gang ridden areas! As for most of downtown, the north side and the northwest side, any shootings at all are incredibly rare and we are not worried at all about being shot or robbed. I am almost 32 years old, a woman, lived here almost my entire life and I have never had one bad thing happen to me in regards to safety or my state of well-being. So yeah, when you live on the northwest side of Chicago (incredibly far away from the south side) you couldn't care less about the BS that happens over there on the south side, because it happens all year round and it stays there. Of course none of us are going to freak out when we actually live in good areas, because there's nothing to freak out about- it's a great City and Incredibly safe when you live in the right area. So miss me with the bullshit
@@Mischa21xothe north side is a shithole as well. Even downtown is completely unsafe at this point. Tell the truth. The north side has so many gangs it’s unreal. And don’t get me started on the drug dealing, prostitution, shootings and raped in Uptown, Rogers Park, Albany Park. Ravenswood Manor, Bucktoen, Wicker Park.
Laws need to be changed. If someone has to pay money for the loss of a family member and decides to move to a state where no one can garnish those wages, that in itself, should be illegal too. People need to be held accountable for their crimes period. These people shouldn't be allowed to move to another state where garnishing wages is illegal. Since that ruling was given in Kentucky, where they obviously lived prior to moving to Pennsylvania, then that ruling should be upheld no matter what. And Pennsylvania should not intervene with Kentucky's ruling. Unless he appeals in Kentucky and wins then that's a different matter.
I feel this way about murderers leaving the country. Another country should not be permitted to dictate our justice just because they don't agree with it. But yet extradition is given stipulations. So bottom line. The victims are non exsistant.. Its all about the perpetrators/defendants and loop holes .
He, like each of us, will one day stand before the ultimate judge. There is no escaping ultimate judgment, apart from forgiveness found through Jesus Christ.
We had a young college student, 18-19 years old, shot and killed over by the Valdosta State University in South Georgia.. to this day it’s still unsolved. His name was Zack Butler. I went to school with his mom. Several students were supposedly present…. But no one is being held accountable.
i work and live in valdosta and am still very young but never went to college…something just happened not too long ago that is kind of the same story in remerton
How old are people in the States when they finish school? Man at that age in Aoteroa New Zealand, you've lived a lifetime by the age of 18-19.😂 You ain't no YOUNG student at that age😂
So she continued to date him after he told her....thats almost as sickening shes no better. She just dated and ignored the fact that hes a killer. Wow she has zero integrity
S/O to Aimee. That was really really gutsy of her, and must have been ridiculously nerve racking, and terrifying for a young women to do. She deserves all the recognition in the world for justice being served in this case. Without nobody would have a clue who did this. She’s the real MVP. What a terrible ending though, so unfortunate for Trent’s family.
Shane ....you can get out of jail early and not do your time, you can run to Pennsylvania where they can't garnish your money to pay his family back, you can keep the fear in your ex Aimee where she has to live in the witness protection program but what you're doing here on earth is making it all the more worse for you for killing that young man . Thou shall not kill and one day you will have to answer to our maker then get thrown into the depths of burning hell. He knows your not sorry for what you did. Eternity is a whole lot longer then our short time on earth. The laughs are about to be on you.
So true, i've watched so many true crime shows and its happened time and time again where jurries get it wrong or something else gets the killer off, and vice versa innocent people get sent to prison.
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Male. Japanese-American. An only child. One hot button thing, is being called "spoiled." After watching Trent's story in 2004, I NOW know why the word "spoiled" is so offensive to me: A REAL spoiled person: SHANE RAGLAND!! He was SO entitled, had NUMEROUS DUIs, and got into SO much legal trouble, yet his father bailed him out every time. I've seen some entitled White people (I met them at the University of Southern California, and in Seattle in the Laurelhurst neighborhood), but Shane takes the CAKE. Believe me, MY Mom and Dad would never "oh, he does nothing wrong' about me, if I did many of these things that Shane Ragland did. Talk about having it come back to bite him: Shane was SO jaded, never being held accountable, and his recklessness, I have no doubt played a part in him getting into that accident, that confined him to a wheelchair. And believe me, after my father passed away unexpectedly in 2003, I DON'T wish death or terrible things like paralysis on many people Shane Ragland is a notable exception for me. (along with Gerald Mason, Jason Massey, Ted Bundy).
High-priced horrible humans. To them, money is more important than justice. He committed a senseless murder and his parents bought him a five year sentence. Then, when another court tried to at least hold them financially responsible, they found a way to keep from paying and victimize the family yet again. There are lots of despicable people in this world.
The girl was so brave and the justice system pays her putting her life on the line back by giving him 5 years. this to a man who confessed to lashing out like an animal with violence and abuse. i learned my lesson from this episode: say nothing to help the police; they will never go to bat for you because they are narcisistic.
Never talk to the police! They are trained to lie! And they will twist and turn everything you say to them to make an arrest! Back the Blue until it happens to you! Back the Brown till you're on the ground!
When watching crime show interrogations, I have noticed the detectives giving the witnesses names to the suspect. ..."Michelle told us how you told..."!! I'm not surprised people don't want to get involved .
Shane Ragland, who attended the University of Kentucky the same time as DiGiuro. And he told him the alleged motive for the shooting. It was astounding - Ragland blamed DiGiuro for being blackballed from a fraternity.
It just kills me how evrrytime i wstch one of the true crime shows no mayter what show it is they always say "stuff like this jusy dont happen here"!! But yet here we are!! If things like this dont happen in all these places we wouldnt be here watching it now!!
I don't think he ever served that since the case was thrown out. However someone on here said he was in an accident and is paralyzed so he got part of what's coming to him!
This case was mishandled. Unfortunately it is the reason why many charges get dismissed, testimonies are tossed, and light sentences come to which the community is fortunate if the perp serves any time at all. It's unfortunate that the key witness didn't get any peace, but she chose to pursue a relationship with man who had admitted to killing someone, and likely gave him up after the relationship soured.
Why do Americans make that ridiculous statement? Things like that don't happen here. Everything and anything can happen anywhere. Seems like Americans live in a delusional bubble, far fr9n thier reality
Clearly the "this is Kentucky things like this don't happen here" guy has never been to Louisville, Paducah, Bowling Green or outside the rich areas of Lexington.
Im so sick of hearing; "things like 'that' don't happen here." Yes, yes they do. Bad things happen all the time just like good things... where there are human beings things happen, period! Whats up with colleges, universities and fraternities anyway!?... They always seem to be a magnet for crime and stupidity, particularily in America!? 😢
These 20-something minute uploads omit a lot of the redundancy in other crime features - which is a good thing. I still think the producers overdo the background music and sound effects like the rest though.
If it's any consolation Shane Ragland had been assaulted while in prison with a lifting dumbbell. It fractured his skull. His vision is bad, he is deaf in one ear. He's also paralyzed from a car accident.
I’m don’t exactly understand your point are you saying that makes it ok that he shot someone in the head and traumatized a team, devastated a family, and forced a young woman into witness protection because he didn’t get his way about getting into a fraternity. That the fact that he’s had some hardships in his life make it ok that he basically got 5 years for premeditated murder. I’m frankly surprised that he hasn’t done it again based on the fact that he’s lived a life that’s been pretty consequence free. Seems like his biggest problem was driving to fast on a wet highway. I’m sorry but it doesn’t seem like he’s learned anything
@@ElizabethDewey-si6sh You need to learn reading comprehension. I said that even though he didn't get the punishment he deserved, he didn't exactly get off easy.
Truly sad how Shane's parents walked out of court with him all cocky!! Would have been different if it was Shane 6 ft under!!! Praying Shane's life is hell!!!
@@blakewatson4192karma is a you know what. He got what he deserved. That’s the thing about karma u never know when it’s goin get you. Can be minutes hours day weeks months or in this case years.
Well Karma always finds its way Shane is wheelchair bound since 2012 and was arrested as a woman beater although she dropped the charges So much for his rich fathers opinion on "Shane being such a good boy" Karma at its finest
Unbelievable that this guy only had to serve five years in jail and had to pay zero restitution. So he moved to Pennsylvania where they can't carnisure wages.. Does he have a savings account? Does he have any property? This is so unfair and so ridiculous
there should be a way to garnish his wages thru a high court of something! i can’t believe he can just move to penn. & not have to pay. it’s not like another country or something🤦🏻♀️ hopefully being stuck in a wheelchair is now his own personal prison.. bcz that’s where he belongs
As both a Combat Veteran of Modern Warfare and a Retired Employee of a US Defense Department Contractor. I have complete confidence in the US Military and its ability to crush all current adversary Military forces if we are forced to defend ourselves. The war on terror was no indication of our true Military capabilities. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were never fought with the intent to do anything other than support the Military Industrial Complex and its appetite for profit. Had there been any true intent to destroy Isis or the taliban it would have been accomplished in days with very minimal Combat casualties of US Forces. The weapons systems and equipment the US Military deployed in those wars were occupation oriented systems and equipment. We have significantly more capable conventional weapon systems in the inventory than those weapons systems that were deployed. The true conventional offensive capabilities of the US Military is unbelievable . But those weapons aren't going to be brought into a fight meant to be a prolonged Military action . The true offensive and defensive capabilities of the US Military is decades ahead of any other modern Military. There's a reason the Defense budget of the US is so high. And it's not because it's spent or wasted on $500 claw hammers or $1000 toilet seats. There's plenty of waste but it isn't nearly as much as it's claimed to be
So a college slore kept the murder confession a secret until they broke up, THEN "her conscience" had her running to the police. Was she charged with hindering prosecution for all the time the investigation was active? Of course not.
"Things like that dont happe here" to say that about a shooting in america is like say "we're politicians, corruption doesn't happen here" . America is constantly experiencing shootings because of their "its my right to own a gun" attitude
Read your post back you admit politicians are corrupt but you also advocate for people being unarmed and thus defenceless to the corruption ... Maybe that's why they do this ? To convince you to "give up your guns" Like me I bet you wouldn't be tripping as much if he was sentenced properly ...
I remember this case very, very well. I had to skip the video after a couple of minutes since I remember the outcome. Impunity makes me sick and angry.
THAT LADY, SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO GO BACK TO COURT AND TESTIFIED AGAINST HIM THE MURDERER, HOW WOULD SHE FEEL IF IT WAS HER SON SHOT DEAD AND THE KILLER GETS TO WALK, VERY VERY SHAMEFUL INDEED LINDA. RIP. YOUNG MAN❤❤❤
I don't know why the point of the plea deal. Yes, he is a convicted felon but he is also a free man forever. They can never be charged now. Why not just wait and see if the ex girlfriend changed her mind. There is no statute of limitations on murder.
ragland was paralyzed in a car accident and in a wheelchair since 2012. he has been back in court over the years after the murder of trent, for beating his girlfriend with a metal rod, punching her in the face repeatedly and tried to kill her, also beating her children who were 8-14 at the time- the girlfriend stayed/went back to him, claiming they have a special relationship? smh
21:33 Wow. If I was in that position I would declined that deal. You got a key witness that is vanished in the witness protection program and ballistic expert that perjured himself.
i searched for an update on google: “Ragland suffered a spinal cord injury in a 2012 car accident. Earlier this year(2014), Ragland's girlfriend claimed Ragland physically assaulted her and tried to run her over with his wheelchair. A judge later lifted an emergency protective order against him.” what a p.o.s!! clearly never learned his lesson🤦🏻♀️ he should still be in prison. i hope he is in some way shape or form
Please note the father’s emotionless recollection of being informed of his son’s death. Nothing. He could be describing temporarily losing his car keys. Then note the coach’s reaction…who actually responds like a human being.
Wow. Your comment is disgusting. People grieve in different ways. Not everyone wears their emotions on their sleeves. Some people compartmentalize their feelings, especially when speaking in public.
@@SarahParker-bo9uz yeah like what the fuck is the original commenter on about. No one’s reaction to a loved ones loss can be deemed valid or invalid. People knew him in different ways and had different relationship and above all cope differently. At the end of the day you don’t know his dad personally so don’t go casting judgements like that @wade stevens
So you have a weak case the second time. Why wouldn't you just give it a shot and see what a jury does? Worst case it's they find him innocent... Your letting him walk anyways you might as well try when you KNOW he's guilty
There is nothing about this case that is positive. What a horrible miscarriage of justice. I wonder what the POS us up tonow, and i wonder what his parents must think about their useless son. I give the victim's family so much credit, what a testament to the kind of person their son would have bocome.
That .243 is a popular varmint gun. Good velocity and flat trajectory but doesn't have the punch of some other rifles. At closer range, say 75 or 100 yards punch doesn't matter as much as accuracy. That's just messed up to hold a grudge for something as stupid as a fraternity.
Smfh. Poor Aimee. The system is SO fucked. Then they wonder why majority of us don’t like to cooperate with the police. Granted, he didn’t do anything to Aimee, but she has to hide from him forever, to prevent him killing her the way he killed before. But, in one of these comments, someone said he is now paralyzed from a car accident in 2012, after his short tiny little jail sentence. Smh. Karma’s a bitch
Hahaha, I can't with this justice system! :-D He killed another human being, admits to it and can just walk away, while others are in for life, because they were caught with weed three times! If it only wasn't so tragic! I am so damn happy not to live in the US anymore. Haven't set a foot in that country for almost 14 years.
Karma is taking care of Shane --Ragland suffered a spinal cord injury in a 2012 car accident and is in a wheel chair. A foundation that provides custom wheelchairs to people who need them has now taken back its offer to Shane Ragland who pleaded guilty to killing a UK football player in 1994.
How can I reach out to the hometown tragedy team I live in the DC area and we’re still searching for Relisha Rudd the young lady that went missing and haven’t been found . 😢
You know something is wrong with the court system when a killer admits and it's recorded, but his conviction is overturned by a ballistics error.

This makes me physically sick.
Rest in peace, Trent. You were a gorgeous young man.
These crimes don't happen ANYWHERE yet here we are.. Again!
Gross misconduct of police and judges letting this killer walk free
The girl was so brave and the justice system pays her putting her life on the line back by giving him 5 years. this to a man who confessed to lashing out like an animal with violence and abuse. i learned my lesson from this episode: say nothing to help the police; they will never go to bat for you because they are narcisistic.
Let us know how this works out for ya!
Never talk to the police! They are trained to lie! And they will twist and turn everything you say to them to make an arrest! Back the Blue until it happens to you!
Back the Brown till you're on the ground!
When watching crime show interrogations, I have noticed the detectives giving the witnesses names to the suspect. ..."Michelle told us how you told..."!! I'm not surprised people don't want to get involved .
The police have zero to do with his sentence duh.
@@hephaestus6365 are you a professional bootlicker or are you actually a police officer?
Due to these deals, I would never depend on being kept safe for my testimony. Never!
I remember watching the “Forensic Files” episode on this case years ago.
Shane Ragland, who attended the University of Kentucky the same time as DiGiuro.
And he told him the alleged motive for the shooting. It was astounding - Ragland blamed DiGiuro for being blackballed from a fraternity.
It's always the "things like this don't happen around here" and the "everyone knows everyone in this town" that do the most
Agreed
It just kills me how evrrytime i wstch one of the true crime shows no mayter what show it is they always say "stuff like this jusy dont happen here"!! But yet here we are!! If things like this dont happen in all these places we wouldnt be here watching it now!!
The rich get away with murder.
I REGRET WATCHING THIS AFTER FINDING OUT THAT PIECE OF SH** ONLY SERVED 5 YEARS! SUCH BS!! 🤬
I don't think he ever served that since the case was thrown out. However someone on here said he was in an accident and is paralyzed so he got part of what's coming to him!
0 Justice for this young man and his family.
):
Really sad case. It happens too often that people get away with their crimes and that's what happened here. Sad.
The prosecutions firearm expert lied on the stand, leading to the killers release. Bet that never happens in Kentucky either...
Infuriating! 5 years for cold blooded murder? That's a joke (only it isn't funny...).
This case was mishandled. Unfortunately it is the reason why many charges get dismissed, testimonies are tossed, and light sentences come to which the community is fortunate if the perp serves any time at all. It's unfortunate that the key witness didn't get any peace, but she chose to pursue a relationship with man who had admitted to killing someone, and likely gave him up after the relationship soured.
Dale Evans: RESPECT. He's one of my favorite people in the True Crime World. Dale Evans, the world needs as many people as possible, like you.
Why do Americans make that ridiculous statement? Things like that don't happen here. Everything and anything can happen anywhere. Seems like Americans live in a delusional bubble, far fr9n thier reality
I hear it in supposedly idyllic villages in Canada and the UK as well.
And often in Australia.
Guess the producers hand that script out to everyone!
All of this because he got blacklisted from a frat like bro get over yourself
Clearly the "this is Kentucky things like this don't happen here" guy has never been to Louisville, Paducah, Bowling Green or outside the rich areas of Lexington.
@Very Local Can you please add subtitles? As I miss alot of words due to hearing prob (hearing aids don't work) Cheers from Australia 😎🇦🇺
Hello Australia 🇦🇺 👋
She was horrible for not testifying again against this monster.
Im so sick of hearing; "things like 'that' don't happen here."
Yes, yes they do. Bad things happen all the time just like good things... where there are human beings things happen, period! Whats up with colleges, universities and fraternities anyway!?... They always seem to be a magnet for crime and stupidity, particularily in America!? 😢
These 20-something minute uploads omit a lot of the redundancy in other crime features - which is a good thing. I still think the producers overdo the background music and sound effects like the rest though.
If it's any consolation Shane Ragland had been assaulted while in prison with a lifting dumbbell. It fractured his skull. His vision is bad, he is deaf in one ear. He's also paralyzed from a car accident.
I’m don’t exactly understand your point are you saying that makes it ok that he shot someone in the head and traumatized a team, devastated a family, and forced a young woman into witness protection because he didn’t get his way about getting into a fraternity. That the fact that he’s had some hardships in his life make it ok that he basically got 5 years for premeditated murder. I’m frankly surprised that he hasn’t done it again based on the fact that he’s lived a life that’s been pretty consequence free. Seems like his biggest problem was driving to fast on a wet highway. I’m sorry but it doesn’t seem like he’s learned anything
@@ElizabethDewey-si6sh You need to learn reading comprehension. I said that even though he didn't get the punishment he deserved, he didn't exactly get off easy.
@@BlueIvysAssistant sorry I’m not very good at reading between the lines
Damn..they say Karma is worse than anything a human can do
Things like this happen EVERYWHERE.
Well not everywhere but a lot of places yes
Truly sad how Shane's parents walked out of court with him all cocky!! Would have been different if it was Shane 6 ft under!!!
Praying Shane's life is hell!!!
Hé is now paralyzed
Parents just as disgusting as the son
@@blakewatson4192karma is a you know what. He got what he deserved. That’s the thing about karma u never know when it’s goin get you. Can be minutes hours day weeks months or in this case years.
@@blakewatson4192 how you know this? Not gonna lie happy! That's his karma for not serving a life sentence, but now he is!
Well Karma always finds its way
Shane is wheelchair bound since 2012 and was arrested as a woman beater although she dropped the charges
So much for his rich fathers opinion on "Shane being such a good boy"
Karma at its finest
Thanks for the update.
wow….. justice wasn’t served on this case. No money could bring their son back
Unbelievable that this guy only had to serve five years in jail and had to pay zero restitution. So he moved to Pennsylvania where they can't carnisure wages.. Does he have a savings account? Does he have any property? This is so unfair and so ridiculous
there should be a way to garnish his wages thru a high court of something! i can’t believe he can just move to penn. & not have to pay. it’s not like another country or something🤦🏻♀️ hopefully being stuck in a wheelchair is now his own personal prison.. bcz that’s where he belongs
Remember the courts allowed and enabled this "the good guys"
There were 647 homicides in Kentucky in 2021.... So yeah im pretty sure things like that DO happen there
Sorry for your loss
As both a Combat Veteran of Modern Warfare and a Retired Employee of a US Defense Department Contractor. I have complete confidence in the US Military and its ability to crush all current adversary Military forces if we are forced to defend ourselves. The war on terror was no indication of our true Military capabilities. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were never fought with the intent to do anything other than support the Military Industrial Complex and its appetite for profit. Had there been any true intent to destroy Isis or the taliban it would have been accomplished in days with very minimal Combat casualties of US Forces. The weapons systems and equipment the US Military deployed in those wars were occupation oriented systems and equipment. We have significantly more capable conventional weapon systems in the inventory than those weapons systems that were deployed. The true conventional offensive capabilities of the US Military is unbelievable . But those weapons aren't going to be brought into a fight meant to be a prolonged Military action . The true offensive and defensive capabilities of the US Military is decades ahead of any other modern Military. There's a reason the Defense budget of the US is so high. And it's not because it's spent or wasted on $500 claw hammers or $1000 toilet seats. There's plenty of waste but it isn't nearly as much as it's claimed to be
Ole fraternity life. It can be dangerous. Too much pressure with the whole "break you down to build you back up" concept.
So a college slore kept the murder confession a secret until they broke up, THEN "her conscience" had her running to the police. Was she charged with hindering prosecution for all the time the investigation was active? Of course not.
Women are psychopaths dude, not all, not all, most though
I wish too she had come forward at first, but she mght have actually been scared of him.
"Things like that dont happe here" to say that about a shooting in america is like say "we're politicians, corruption doesn't happen here" . America is constantly experiencing shootings because of their "its my right to own a gun" attitude
Read your post back you admit politicians are corrupt but you also advocate for people being unarmed and thus defenceless to the corruption ...
Maybe that's why they do this ? To convince you to "give up your guns"
Like me I bet you wouldn't be tripping as much if he was sentenced properly ...
The coach seems more upset than the father 🤷🏻♀️
I remember this case very, very well. I had to skip the video after a couple of minutes since I remember the outcome. Impunity makes me sick and angry.
Not justice
I like this series/channel
it never happens here....until it happens here
The justice system failed Trent and his family
Our justice system is completely screwed up!
If it happens here it's in America anywhere. (today).
THAT LADY, SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO GO BACK TO COURT AND TESTIFIED AGAINST HIM THE MURDERER, HOW WOULD SHE FEEL IF IT WAS HER SON SHOT DEAD AND THE KILLER GETS TO WALK, VERY VERY SHAMEFUL INDEED
LINDA. RIP. YOUNG MAN❤❤❤
I don't know why the point of the plea deal. Yes, he is a convicted felon but he is also a free man forever. They can never be charged now. Why not just wait and see if the ex girlfriend changed her mind. There is no statute of limitations on murder.
Woman came forward for absolutely nothing.
That's a good point also, they wasted her time ...
Woww they really put that girl out there smh... see this is exactly y ppl keep hush hush smh. Crazy!
The setting of those times look at how decent people look and act compared to today
"things like that don't happen here...". Dude forgot about Louisville. That shit most definitely DOES happen there.
Note to self: anonymous lines are not really anonymous. 😮
ragland was paralyzed in a car accident and in a wheelchair since 2012. he has been back in court over the years after the murder of trent, for beating his girlfriend with a metal rod, punching her in the face repeatedly and tried to kill her, also beating her children who were 8-14 at the time- the girlfriend stayed/went back to him, claiming they have a special relationship? smh
21:33 Wow. If I was in that position I would declined that deal. You got a key witness that is vanished in the witness protection program and ballistic expert that perjured himself.
i searched for an update on google:
“Ragland suffered a spinal cord injury in a 2012 car accident. Earlier this year(2014), Ragland's girlfriend claimed Ragland physically assaulted her and tried to run her over with his wheelchair. A judge later lifted an emergency protective order against him.”
what a p.o.s!! clearly never learned his lesson🤦🏻♀️ he should still be in prison. i hope he is in some way shape or form
In other words, he got away with it!
Please note the father’s emotionless recollection of being informed of his son’s death. Nothing. He could be describing temporarily losing his car keys. Then note the coach’s reaction…who actually responds like a human being.
Wow. Your comment is disgusting. People grieve in different ways. Not everyone wears their emotions on their sleeves. Some people compartmentalize their feelings, especially when speaking in public.
@@SarahParker-bo9uz yeah like what the fuck is the original commenter on about. No one’s reaction to a loved ones loss can be deemed valid or invalid. People knew him in different ways and had different relationship and above all cope differently. At the end of the day you don’t know his dad personally so don’t go casting judgements like that @wade stevens
So you have a weak case the second time. Why wouldn't you just give it a shot and see what a jury does? Worst case it's they find him innocent... Your letting him walk anyways you might as well try when you KNOW he's guilty
Lexington is getting ruffer all the time
There is nothing about this case that is positive. What a horrible miscarriage of justice. I wonder what the POS us up tonow, and i wonder what his parents must think about their useless son. I give the victim's family so much credit, what a testament to the kind of person their son would have bocome.
WHY were lawyers allowed to read Amy's diary?! SHE isn't on trial.
That .243 is a popular varmint gun. Good velocity and flat trajectory but doesn't have the punch of some other rifles. At closer range, say 75 or 100 yards punch doesn't matter as much as accuracy. That's just messed up to hold a grudge for something as stupid as a fraternity.
.243 rifle is very common here in Southern Ky and so is shootings! Not just in Ky but throughout the World!
So much for keeping her name out of everything 🤦🏻♀️
Smfh. Poor Aimee. The system is SO fucked. Then they wonder why majority of us don’t like to cooperate with the police.
Granted, he didn’t do anything to Aimee, but she has to hide from him forever, to prevent him killing her the way he killed before.
But, in one of these comments, someone said he is now paralyzed from a car accident in 2012, after his short tiny little jail sentence. Smh. Karma’s a bitch
Money talks ...it makes a person 😫 sick
Hahaha, I can't with this justice system! :-D
He killed another human being, admits to it and can just walk away, while others are in for life, because they were caught with weed three times!
If it only wasn't so tragic!
I am so damn happy not to live in the US anymore. Haven't set a foot in that country for almost 14 years.
Every western country is the same but I feel ya 💯
@@gtt8428 okay, please make a list of western countries that have this specific flaw.
I'd be surprised, if you'd find another one.
No crime in that town?…and they always say “I didn’t need to lock my door” 🙄
Karma is taking care of Shane --Ragland suffered a spinal cord injury in a 2012 car accident and is in a wheel chair. A foundation that provides custom wheelchairs to people who need them has now taken back its offer to Shane Ragland who pleaded guilty to killing a UK football player in 1994.
This is insane
How can I reach out to the hometown tragedy team I live in the DC area and we’re still searching for Relisha Rudd the young lady that went missing and haven’t been found . 😢
Ragland a real creep.
Why do your videos have NO CLOSED CAPTIONS???😡
The phrase snitches get stitches came from this kind of shit...
Shane has now been charged with trying to kill his mom. Another failure of our justice system.
Kill .. plead guilty .... Do 5 years ... Go free .... Mission accomplished ... Best justice system we have
Please add subtitles
Football coach seems more distraught about Trent being shot than Trent’s own father. Wtf 🤬
