S1 Ep11: Ep. 11 - Christopher Pittman

Welcome to Episode 11, we hope you enjoyed yesterday's Happy Hour Bonus Episode and we want to APOLOGIZE for the glitches in today's episode. We are recording remotely until May and as always technology is the worse , but we are back to our regularly scheduled program and we got a thought provoking case for you.

Also, apologizes for the length of the episodes recently. We want to make sure you get all the details we find in our research. Bare with us as we work on getting the chat down and the crime up!

Today Brooke brings you the crime, so grab your loaded tea and let's begin. This is the case of Christopher Pittman who was just 12 years old when, in November of 2001 he shot and killed his grandparents in their home while they slept. He then set fire to the home and fled the scene of the crime. Why will this case make you think and your brain hurt? Well, Christopher at the time of the murder was on a drug called Zoloft, an antidepressant, which became he main defense at trial. Listen now and let us know your thoughts on where you stand in the Christopher Pittman case.
