The Tragic Case of Marley & Elijah Thomas

NOTE: Just a reminder... We're relaying a story to you that has nothing to do with our own personal opinions. Local, state, federal, and international laws have nothing to do with us. Had Kara been smoking anything other than weed, that would have been reported. This is a double homicide, and those details just don't get missed. Whether you personally believe weed had anything to do with it isn't up to any of us to decide. That's the UK Court's business. If she's lying, I then guess that didn't seem to work out for her, now did it?

This week, Drewby and Yergy head over to the UK to discuss the case of Marley and Elijah Thomas, two young boys who were drowned in a bathtub by their mother, Kara Alexander, after an evening of smoking "skunk," which is a catchall for strong cannabis strains. On December 16th, 2022, the two boys were found dead at their home on Cornwallis Road in Dagenham, East London. Their father, Selvin Thomas, became concerned after failing to reach Kara and went to the house, where he discovered the boys' bodies lying together in a bunk bed. Post-mortem examinations determined that Marley and Elijah died from either drowning or suffocation. During her trial at Kingston Crown Court, Kara denied the murders. She claimed she had put the boys in the bath and fell asleep, arguing that they had "accidentally" drowned. Prosecutors successfully dismantled this defense, proving the children could not have drowned accidentally at the same time and that she had deliberately held them underwater.
