Following the recording of this podcast, a jury convicted Megan Boswell on all counts. Full Story: https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/live-jury-returns-verdict-in-megan-boswell-trial/
What a beautiful baby subjected to this horror 😭
I'm so hurt right now 💔
AMERICA the only country where a Child ONLY has ONE mom, and has 20 to 30 different dads. Who is "Responsible" for these murders of children????? Moms, judges who gave the mom full physical and legal custody of the child, and society for their bull$hit ideology that women do nothing wrong and are goddesses.
The fact that Megan put the baby head first along with being covered in foil and blankets makes me think that she wanted her dead. If Evelyn was accidentally smothered in bed by Hunter, why would she feel the need to put foil and blankets around Evelyn so tightly and put her head down if she WASN’T dead??? Also you say that there’s no proof that Evelyn was alive while being put in trash, well there’s also no proof of her being dead either. Just the constant lying from this “mother” , who had a CHOICE, to give her baby up instead of killing her, makes anyone believe that she was in fact guilty and not to mention her lack of remorse 🙄. God will judge her when her time comes. YOU NEVER DISPOSE OF A BABY IN A TRASH CAN, THATS JUST COMMON SENSE!
Cause of death was 4 types of asphyxiation it was clearly stated by doctors
The cause of death was aphyxia/homicidal violence. Wrapped in aluminum foil, blanket, trash bag, upside down in trash can. Evelyn suffocated in trash can. I dont see how there is any doubt. RIP Evelyn. Justice was served
❤️😇🙏❤️
The od case, this happened to paighton Houston in birmingham. Very questionable circumstances. Her parents are still trying to get Justice.
Thank you, Josh. Appreciate you! God bless, from Montana ❤
Bob is great so down to earth
Thank god the jury got it right.,The state did a great job and life in prison is to good for her. Why wasn’t death penalty in the table. The state proved she killed that poor baby and happy the jury did their job.
Of course she murdered her daughter, nobody wraps their baby in tinfoil, newspapers or blankets. You call 911 when your child’s life is at stake…she did it, no doubt in my mind!
People do it these days because they are full of evil and darkness at a level we can't comprehend. There is a spiritual war happening with all of us. Whose side are you on?
The way you talked about missing facts, it seems circumstantial evidence doesn't count. Does it not?
Another Delphi jury.
Megan Boswell herself was a victim of abuse I can guarantee it
that's why she behaved the way she did. NOW look at the case
of Elena Hembree a Kentucky baby this case is almost worse
horribly SA yet only her mother was arrested . Why are men
getting away with hurting children is this something new
blame the mother.
Anybody consider one of the many predators living round there got hold of
Evelyn via a babysitter perhaps
I think Megan Boswell defense was genuine and he knew the public
were against her from the start and did everything he could for her.
PUT YOUR CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION IF THEY'RE SO IN YOUR WAY OF YOU LIVING YOUR LIFE!!
Josh, I love listening to your point of view as well as your show♡
Evelyne was not quite 13 months old when she was murdered. The reason it keeps being reported as 15 months is because she wasn't reported missing for two more months past her age at her death. See Grizly True Crime.
Subbed to Defense Diaries. ✌🏼🩷
I find it very strange that jury instructions aren't standard across the states making them easier for jurors to understand.
Question, Josh. A bit of a tangent but still regarding the Megan Boswell trial. I was wondering if Hunter would have grounds for suing the defence attorney for defamation and mental anguish? Also similarly, whether Ethan would have grounds too? Thankyou.
Hello Josh , I thought I'd made a mistake. I didn't expect to see you here!
I'm 61 yo, I grew up under similar circumstances as Megan, worse in many ways. When I was a child teachers where not reporters. And I didn't have a grandparents or relatives that took me under their wing. Yet I NEVER wrapped up any of my 3 children in blankets and foil and throw them in the kitchen trash and hide it… Crappy childhoods are a dime a dozen. I've got friends that I think I'm glad I had my childhood and not theirs. Most people want better for our children. 🫶
You can't obviously convict someone on feelings. Maybe her child died for reasons we don't know. She could have freaked out and hid the child.
Unfortunately and fortunately a juror has to take all emotions out of the task at hand. As hard as it is they just have to look just the facts.
Was she about to bake the baby?? Monster
Oh Josh. It's in the details, please get the basic details correct. That's why I watch YT and not TV. 🫶.
I think the drs were great especially the 2nd one. Because of course she can’t say 100% she knew what happened because she wasn’t there. Only Megan was there. Poor baby Evelyn 💕💗💕
I really enjoyed Bob’s commentary. Good show Josh.
Exactly! This is a Casey Anthony all over again.
❤❤ Josh I loved seeing you on the sofa with Paul ❤❤❤. Ugh sweet Evelyn. ❤❤❤
Nice try Karen Reeds attorneys 😏
My son irritates me to the very depth of my tiny soul, but I promise that instead of hurting him, I have called to talk to people, or just told him to give me my space and leave me be for a few hours.
My daughter has upset me beyond belief, but I still could never see myself murdering her. I don't know how these parents do that to their children. It's so scary and sad for those children. I enjoyed having you both together. 💜🎶💜
Jury got it right, unlike Casey Anthony’s day in court.
you and Bob are experts and your commentary is enlightening! Thanks!
I loved listening to this guest commentator!
No decent grieving mother would dispose of her childs body the way she did, if she died of natural causes.
No way the jury is going to buy that nonsense.
Im surprised this case took so long. Its been well over 6 yrs.
Can y'all remove the spam
I like true crime news, but not Bob Motta at all.
She looks unhinged AF!
I could say so much abt this case and uve hit everyone of em. She's a cold-blooded killer. Let's just hope she gets LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE!! Because 51 yrs with parole is NOT enough!! She done it. Oh, she did. Sickening!! Like I said, this local to me!! I watched them give her guilty on ALL CHARGES and barely a tear! She cried for herself!!
WTF is wrong with people??
I'm so glad that they found her guilty of all 20 charges! I'm local to this!!!! So sad. That baby was so beautiful. 😔 😢
She's sick and disgusting.
