An argument over dirty dishes turned deadly when Alabama man Jared Smith-Bracy allegedly killed his grandparents, brother, and a friend in February 2023. The 21-year-old, who may face the death penalty, allegedly told arresting officers, “I had to get them before they got me.” Authorities said Smith-Bracy committed the brutal murders with a pickax and firearm before he ran off into the woods. Now, he’s pleading insanity. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber breaks it down with psychologist Dr. John Delatorre.

Sad to do this to your grandparents over dishes ..
Murdering your grandparents & brother? Come on! So he breaks the doors down in his grandparents home, after an argument about dirty dishes, and gets arrested. His friend bails him out & he takes his friend’s gun, runs in the home and killed his grand parents, brother and family friend? Well lock him up for life
Im glad my ex husband only divorced me over dirty dishes.
No lives matter if you guys reading this
Well if there was a fight or argument over dirty dishes then that's a clear motive. That sounds like he killed them in anger, not insanity. Case closed. Throw him away and lock the key.
Insanity should not matter as these people kill. Not safe to have them in our civil sosciety!
My stepdad said he would rather break dirty dishes than do them.
dirty dishes was the tipping point… he was a loose cannon waiting to happen & just went off at the 1st disagreement
The "insanity" plea needs to be completely and utterly abolished!
Think about it though , you'd have to be insane yo do something like this …
Not insane if he ran and hid.. He was competent to try to get away. I’ve seen cases were a person would kill another person and continue living like nothing happened.. With the body still inside the house and everything. That’s psychosis. You having no idea what you’ve just done, something snapping..
i am relieved it wasent over cold fries
He got no choice but some dishes now. They going to give him a whole lot of dishes to wash now. Might have to wash some draw wers too.
It won't cause of no dirty dishes. It was some built up tension in that house.
A murderer is a murderer. A snake is a snake. When a snake bites you the wild you shoot it. You don't analyze why the snake bit you.
Possession is real.
It’s a super common belief that if acquitted due to insanity he’s let go. No! He’s sent to a mental hospital forever. Which is almost identical to a prison.
I know he’s guilty but why didn’t the parkland school shooter get the death penalty for killing way more?? This guy should get the death penalty “swiftly” as well as Nicholas Cruz.
Grown man living with his grandparents and won’t clean up, smh he was nothing but a evil man wanting to have his way. Smh
Mentally damaged people exist. Don't worry…he won't get off…but let's not pretend that he's sane just so we can convict him of the most serious crime .
He took out his own family and that's crazy.
Another upcoming case in Ala.,if he is mentally stable to be tried.Jesus is the way
Horrible,dirty dishes is a trigger?
