I fell asleep listening to Dr Grande and now his is the first voice I hear as I’ m waking up. I’m not diagnosing myself, but I speculate that in a situation like this I may be a Grande addict.
Pretty sure that I'm an addict too!😊
Somebody needs to start a GA (Grande Anonymous) group. We can meet in a church basement, and drink bad coffee.
Or Insomnia.

@mike christian Aside from the UFO thing, what makes you think they don't already have these things? Or that their life is lacking without them? 🤔 SMH
It’s horrifying how easily someone can just kill someone else…
Imagine playing a “worst things you’ve ever done” game and it’s going along with typical answers like “I took 10 dollars from my little brother,” and “I fooled around on my high school boyfriend,” and then one of you is just like “So, yea, I murdered this dude…”
I'm a compulsive liar ... do you believe me ??
@@rhuephus Yes you're lying about telling the truth.
Sounds like a bad idea for a game
Remember turning on the backpack in Ghostbusters? How they all backed away from Egon? This would be the same feeling. Distance and more distance.
@@exitscreaming4637 My thought exactly. Gets away with murder then sinks himself in such a stupid way. That had to have tortured him😁.
If they gave a Nobel Prize for comedic , dry sarcasm Dr. Grande would be the hands down recipient. Thank you for starting my day with a smile on my face!
Dr. Grande is noble but think another award might be in his reach such as the Streamy and I believe an Emmy is possible.
Right? 🤣
I was in medical school when this happened. I’m glad to learn about the results of this case. People take sororities and fraternities way too seriously.
Hence why I never pledged to any of them but God
@@Blodia1990 you sound fun.
@@thinkingmoment They're a way to multiply privilege and entitlement for people who already have too much privilege and entitlement.
@@thinkingmoment For rich white kids who have no goals in life, other than getting drunk, getting in trouble with police and have their rich parents bail them out. This cycle continues throughout their lives.
Here in Sydney's Macquarie University there are so many Americans there they have set up sororities there I was told by an local student, even though it's not traditional in Australian universities.
It gives you an insight to the American mindset.
I have to say I didn't care for these students in my dealings with them bar one who I found personable.
Confucius says: "He who seeks revenge should dig two graves." Smart dude!
What a sad senseless case!
Your last line summed it up when you said "Shane Ragland was worried that missing out on a fraternity would destroy his life, but it was his own actions that brought about that result."
Such a great video, Dr. Grande!
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw you smirk at the part of a "claimed" 3,000 pound motorized wheelchair. 😅
Fratricide gets a whole new meaning
🧐get out! (points to door)

So worrying that an FBI forensics lab technician would lie under oath. Wonder how many other times it's happened without being detected?
I wonder what's the point of jailing the wrong person?
that FBI lab tech was under the spell of Amy
@@janedmunds4218 to get another notch on their belt. Law enforcement just wants to make an arrest and they don't care about guilt or innocence.
Statistics from the Bureau of Justice indicate conservatively 11% of all criminal convictions send an innocent person to prison. Roughly 20,000 at the moment in prison and over 900 have been executed. The innocence Project lawyers get new trials and about half of those with DNA evidence are set free, the other half claiming to be innocent are proven guilty.
Many cases are pushed through just to close the case, or to raise the number of convictions. DA's are elected, not hired. Many times the DA will hide evidence proving innocence because there are no other suspects or the circumstantial evidence is very strong and/or the defendant is "already a criminal so what's the difference?"
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n This industry uses a phrase, and I've heard it from police, judges, lawyers and others in the career: "Those people are NOT members of structure"...therefore, what happens to them we basically don't care. I've known some of these people all my life. One country cousin is going to be an extremely high up judge in Canada. He says it's an "Us against Them" game. I'm worried.
Thank you for that interesting analysis! I used to teach at UK and would walk by that corner every day. I don’t believe there was one time that I didn’t look over at the house and the porch and think about Trent. Here in Lexington, I think pretty much everyone believes Shane was guilty. Fraternities are a super big deal here, and killing someone who blackballed you from one is not unimaginable. Such a tragedy for Trent and his family.
Dr Grande: if the whole UA-cam/social media influencer doesn’t work out for you (and it is quite obvious that it IS working out for you) perhaps you should consider becoming a stand up comedian. Your dry, deadpan delivery is unparalleled anywhere and you use it so well to tell a story. Thank you for your incredible daily content which is a highlight of my day.
❤️
Rejection is very severe if one feels entitled or yearn for something, but is turned away. However, to kill for revenge... there must be a lot of anger behind it
I would say Shane's problems extend a little farther than anger.
Not anger. Entitlement. Raging egotism. Contempt for those who are not you. There can be such a thing as righteous indignation or anger...there was none of that here.
I find it interesting that courts will award tens of millions in damages, when the person liable has no means to pay.
It's mainly a USA "thang"; and even then you have to collect: Belfort hasn't paid much of anything back, and due to Federal law OJ doesn't even have to: his pension falls under Federal laws enacted 100 years ago. And the Sackler family? Their "fine" doesn't even come close to the amount they spend dedicating a Museum wing in England.
One has no legal relation to the other. Damages are assessed based on the harm done not on the ability to repay.
you may be interested in the fact that the legal system in the USA makes no sense.
I was a 17 year old kid running around this area at that time. I actually lived in a coffee shop called 'New Morning' Coffee Shop at Woodland and Euclid.
Wow we have those same streets together here in florida......how odd....
I worked with Shane for at least a year back around 2000, including the day I was told by a co-worker he was arrested. You would never in a million years think he was capable of this. Mild mannered pleasant guy, easy to talk to, no red flags.
And apparently, Shane didn't feel threatened by you, it seems
What a long and winding horror story. Life is treacherous. Thank you for your analysis, Grande. I find these videos very calming.
Help the psychopaths, O God.
While Shave Ragland wallows in drunken misery, the Trent DiGiuro Foundation awards $40,000 per year in college scholarships in Trent’s home town.
Sometimes good comes from tragedy
What the world needs right now is more people like Doctor Grande out there.!
According to the FBI, only 60 percent of murders are solved and they are often solved because: 1. the killer made stupid obvious mistakes 2. law enforcement devoted effort to the case and they will only do so if the victim 'mattered' (some victims, unfortunately, do not matter :(
😔
Every one matters , but I take your point. For example, nine other bodies were uncovered in the mega search for Gabby Petito. Wonder how many of those cases will be successfully closed and how many shoved back under a rock? Maybe I'll follow that up.
There is a huge variance in whether a homicide is solved. For some types of homicide, the closure rate would be very high but for other types more like 5%. Factors that affect whether a homicide is solved include: victim lifestyle, concerned family and friends, expertise and experience of the investigative law enforcement agency, plain dumb luck, type of homicide. Statistically, most homicides have the usual motives of jealousy or other relationship complications. Those do tend to get solved. However, if the victim has a lifestyle (prostitute or drug dealer, etc.) where their associates don't talk to police, have many potential contacts who have good (self serving) reasons to conceal facts, have a transient, irregular schedule and residence, and the body and crime scene isn't found soon after the crime (evidence degrades/disappears), then the chances of resolution are pretty poor. So a flat 60% is misleading.
Interesting how life was all down hill over not getting in a fraternity. The sad thing is that a lot of other people including myself let situations like this define our lives instead of shrugging it off and going with Plan B
Great insight. You're right...we can all learn from his foolishness.
University is like living in a bottle. Everything outside becomes unimportant, everything inside is critical. BUT you'd think a long hard look at all kinds of stats: you may be the biggest BMOC on campus or the best athlete, but at college's end all the buttons hit RE-SET.
@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki I view high school like this. you have way more freedom in college. I hated high school and the forced friendships
Great video! I think your analysis is 💯% accurate Dr. Grande. I went to college at a large university on the East coast. SAE is an important fraternity with a lot of status. One of my friends broke up with his long-term girlfriend to join SAE. I personally feel the entire Greek system should be abolished, because fraternities and sororities cause more trouble than they are worth.
I was in a fraternity at university.
It was local so there were no other chapters and also we were not required to stay in a fraternity house.
Our fraternity required much less committment than other ones so we actually only met once a week for 1-2 hours.
The entire value of the fraternity was in getting people that weren't like-minded to socialize with each other in an organized unit.
There were a lot of talented people that just didn't have very good social skills.
The fraternity itself was highly non-productive.
That’s a really interesting twist on the conventional idea of fraternities. Are you glad you participated? Do you think it was beneficial to most of the other guys in it?
@@juneshay608 I am glad I was in it simply because it was the best social strategy in the small private college I went to.
It was extremely beneficial to the other guys in it, much more than for me.
From 1986 to 1990 I attended a college that placed a LOT of emphasis on not only being in a fraternity/sorority - but which fraternity/sorority you belonged to. Up until then, I never thought anything could replace high school sports as something that seemed like the beginning or the end of the world at the time but meant absolutely nothing the moment you graduated.
At this point Dr. Grande needs to make merch with: Guilty in reality, Not Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Hell yeah Todd! Can you do the Texas tower sniper next? Thanks!
That would be a good one
These mysterious types of videos of Dr. Grande’s are my absolute favorite!
Criminals have a significantly higher rate of accidental injuries than regular people.

I remember this shooting. Very fascinating!

"Elite, jay-walking taskforce..." 🤣 You crack me up, Dr. Grande! Excellent analysis as always! Definitely one of the most unusual motives for murder.

I attended UK for undergrad and grad school, and I had heard about this story. I never got the details, though…this is wild!
The SAEs are the same frat that got kicked off campus a few years back for rolling someone up in toilet paper and “accidentally” lighting him on fire. William T Young was an alum of theirs and donated enough money to get his name on the library, so they have some big players in their network. This is outlandish enough to be a Netflix special 😏.
I walked by there so many times…it’s hard to imagine that happening and no one seeing anything.
Lighting someone on fire. Wow. I hope they got more than just being kicked off campus.
When I was an undergrad at UK back in '64, SAE was the least respected frat.
Thank you for always delivering great content Dr Grande.
Hello Dr. Grande, this is a difficult case to analyze, seems like police errors and lack of information or witness as you said make it complicated to determine who really killed Trent. I'll leave it at that, and I agree with your final thoughts. Thank you for the interesting cases you present to us, very interesting to listen to. Best Regards. 👍❤
My takeaway from this case is that Trents family did not see any real justice here and it was largely because of the authorities bungling the case at every step. The motive here seems bizarre to me as well, it doesn't really add up.
Thank you, Dr. Grande, for another upload! I hope you and your family have a great weekend!
Balanced analysis! Always appreciate the subtle humor. Thank you Dr. Grande!
First of all Dr Grande, I love to listen to your analysis of these unfortunate situations. I was wondering has anyone in a high profile murder case reached out to you for your professional opinion or to testify in in court sharing your insightful thoughts about the situation?
Thanks Dr G! Have you ever thought about Jack the Ripper as a subject?
This was a huge case for Lexington, KY. Thanks Doc for covering a case from my hometown.
Todd, you have the best channel on UA-cam right now, shedding light on the inner workings of the human psyche. Finding out about new cases (as well as remembering old ones) is very rewarding.
Dr Grande can you do the case of Mary Bell next, one of the world's youngest female killer just 10 years old. Super interesting as well as psychological considerations.
Great suggestion! I just finished a biography about her.
I am integrating your verbal disclaimer into everyday conversation.
Often reality (when well told) is more intriguing than a fictional story. Thx for your broad and intelligent perspective.
I feel asleep after the Kim K, Kayne ,& Pete “disgruntled ex husband analysis “ which was on point ,only to wake up to yet another disgruntled college student turned killer analysis. Both cases while worlds away have similarities that can’t be overlooked. I hope that I’m wrong but i fear that Ye will only become more unhinged as Kim & Pete’s relationship grows. This case was particularly sad as so many lives were devastated all over entrance into a fraternity. I’m going to go out on a limb and speculate that you have been consistently churning out amazing content & I’m so grateful for it!!
Kanye needs to take his bipolar meds.
So many lives get destroyed when anger, guns, revenge, non critical thinking enters & collides. Great points again. Thanks Dr G😊💜💛
Homicide or suicide. America's tool of choice, Guns. As American as apple pie.
@@williamrobinson6680 Good point thx and sad commentary on our society.
I'm ex Military. 20 years retired honorably after 3 tours. I hear about these dudes crying over not getting into a little boys club, crying over who slept with who? You're men! You're friggin adults!!! Grow up, toughen up. Join the ultimate mans club, the Army. This is so pathetic. Great vid Doc. You're the ultimate man. Keep the vids coming! 🙏💪🙏💪🙏💪🙏
Couple of thoughts: I don’t think being a military man makes you any more manly than other guys necessarily; I’ve known some military dudes with very questionable conduct. Not to mention there are lots of women in the military too, so it’s not really the “ultimate men’s club” as you suggest. But anyway.
I would also say that overall men would be healthier, happier, more honest, less destructive people if they embraced their emotions more and learned to have more emotional self-awareness… rather than just telling them to “toughen up.” Guys trying to just toughen up (instead of processing & expressing what they’re going through) are the ones that become stoic, closed off people with a tendency for anger outbursts. Just a thought. That being said, I do know what you mean about how silly it is to obsess over high school drama type things. A lot of young people have a not-fully-developed prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain for long-term planning, rational reasoning, predicting consequences, etc. So at that age of late teens/early 20s they quite literally do not yet have the full capability of understanding how insignificant a lot of their current events in life will be long-term in the future. 😣
@@mistym0rning The only part I'm going to disagree with is being a military guy doesn't make you tougher yes it absolutely does. Less than 1% of Americans join the military. And you're not going to tell me for one second that being in the military doesn't make you tougher than the average man if you haven't been there then don't run your mouth
@@mistym0rning You literally think that a man that went through military training 20 years, is no different than the average man, you're absolutely wrong whoever your boyfriend is you better tell him to stop talking. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@mistym0rning And just so you know sweet kira, I've already filled out my application at the embassy to go fight for the ukraine, so maybe you should just be quiet sometimes gently I'm not telling you to shut up or anything I'm just saying that maybe sometimes not everything is quite Crystal clear, and maybe kira doesn't know everything. I spent 20 years fighting for my country kira. That means 20 years at war I did three combat tours are you okay with that cure I'm not trying to hurt you. And now my application in the embassy is to go fight for the Ukraine. Are you going to go fight for the Ukraine sweet kira or does that hurt your gentle feelings? I'd really like to hear your input on this.
@@debs7368 you're right. I didn't represent my country well. I apologize. Truly. I get sensitive. As much as you want me to understand everyone else's side, you got to understand my side. There's no going to be turning me around, or making me perfect, I'm just a mean guy. I'm a good dad, I hope my son doesn't turn out like me. But truly accept my apology.
A Happy Weekend to you Dr. Grande, Thank you for a reasoned, judicious post about this tragedy.
How strange that they struggled with the motive piece, just because no one could imagine that someone would kill over such pettiness.
Why not? People have killed for much less.
At this point, only God can intervene to change this man enough to make his story on this earth anything more than a pathetic waste.
ha ha .. I lived in Chicago years ago. If you're riding the bus, you could get killed by kids .. for a quarter.
This was God's will🤣🤣😛😛He planned and watched this play out(omniscience) 🙂
They were well aware that it was a _possible_ motive. But the smaller the motive, the _less likely_ it becomes, thereby making a conviction less likely.
Perfect start to my day! Thank you! 💜
Same!
Look forward to these videos every day. Looking forward to the next Bella Grande video too. Thank you for putting some quality on UA-cam!
This is Just what I needed on this rainy Saturday
Great case, very interesting.
Thank you for the video.
Never heard of this case before.... Great coverage & summary of this crime Dr. Grande!!
Just what I needed, before I put away my phone for the evening. Thanks, Doc!
TODD, GREAT INSIGHT ON THIS CASE, & U MAKE MAKE SO MANY GREAT POINTS. THANK U!
Dr. Grande could you pretty please do a video on the new revelations that came out about Sherri Papini? This case was so interesting and I’d love to watch you do a full recap about the story :)
Starting to get hooked on Dr Todd Grande. Very very good!
Hey Doc. Would you consider doing an episode on Dimebag Darrell? Your take on that tragedy would be great! Be well.
Agreed, that is a good topic idea. His death was so shocking and sad. I'm not super into metal but I know how important his legacy is. Incredible guitarist 🙏🕊️🤘
Edit:typo
That whole event was just a vulgar display of power.
That is a great explanation of the motive!
I am not good with this type of psychology, but it does seem to make sense.
I heard this before. But hearing you tell it , it more interesting as you tell it. You are my one of our favorites. Keep up the
Personal touches. Thak You
Interesting case. Thanks for your analysis, Dr. Grande. Your theory about Shane's motive of revenge relating to Trent's fraternity as well as David Cantey being a key factor allowing reasonable doubt, stand out. Such a sad life Shane chose to lead.
That's a very poor motive
@@rhuephus Jealousy leading to revenge is always a motive.
even before his jail induced skull fracture he was acting, and looking, like a real meathead.
Nice, a nice Grande cup of coffee for the morning!
That ending... Very well said! He was so sure that not getting into the fraternity would destroy his life... And he did it himself.
Yeah, those Elite Crosswalk Enforcement Officers always catch me! 🤣 That is the best line I've ever heard you say. Bless you Dr. Grande!🌵❤
Looks like life knocks did more to this guy than prison could do! Strange story all around! Keep em coming sir! Enjoy your channel a lot!
sad story. great analysis.
Top notch, as usual! 👍👨⚕️👍
It isn't unheard of for someone to brag about a murder they didn't actually commit. They want to look tough and impressive, and in this case, he held a ridiculous grudge about not getting into the fraternity so he may have been fantasizing. For all we know, he might've even been lying about sleeping with the fraternity leader's girlfriend.
Thanks, Dr. Grande
Seems there is a mountain of evidence against Shane. He lived close and had the same type rifle; had a past beef...and possibly confessed...twice. His bad Karma sure followed him. Bizarre tale.
@@exitscreaming4637 Yeah...you're right totally innocent. Like the way you are innocent of logic.
Great job Dr.Grande.
Such needless tragedy! I remember this case and I remember the trial. I didn't know what had happened to him afterward. Thank you for a thorough update. I wonder if the guy who really told on him and got him removed from the fraternity list feels guilty that an innocent man died because he took the blame? I know I would. Sheesh!
I’m very much enjoying Dr. Grande’s book on serial killers. Plus I have Harm Reduction for my next read. 💗 I strongly recommend.
Thanks Dr Grande
Congrats on 1 million!
I used to watch the news on TV. Now if I want to know whats going on in the world I watch dr. Grande. I get the facts , an objective speculation, also your opinion on what could be happening. Plus a sprinkle or 2 of dry humor that cause some serious belly laughs Totally interesting , entertaining ,informative and satisfying. Tyvm.
NOW you’re all caught up, to 1994!!!
Dr. Grande ... I really love your vids. I get upset when I miss one or you're late. Thanking you in advance. Now it's time for my dreamscape session. After that. I'm going White Tail dear hunting tonight .
Thank you for the video 🌵🌲🌵🌲🌵

So tragic. It’s usually social outcasts in high school who act out like that. There are so many social outlets in college. It’s a shame that he chose such a dark path. It’s a hard path to get off once you choose it. Great analysis as usual
I went to Starbucks this morning and ordered a Dr. Grande Cappuccino with extra foam.
umm ... that was NOT foam
Sorry Dr. Grande, I found this video to be more intriguing than an elite jaywalking task force 🤗 I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION OF MARILYN MONROE 🤔
Good morning Dr. Grande,
beautiful Saturday morning nice to be having coffee with you!
Gosh I love that purple on you!

Cheers to giving it a GOooooo!

Woooah my man Dr G wit the BMW! Noice
Thank you.
What a sad story, why is it that people hold grudges, then go on to kill them. Its such a senseless loss of life. Bad luck seems too follow Shane around. Thank you Dr Grande. Brilliant analysis as always. Great and sad topic.

Good evening, Dr. Grande. Ooh...BMW my kind of guy.
