Dad Outraged by No Prison Time in Son's 'Cannabis-Induced Psychosis' Stabbing Death

Dad Outraged by No Prison Time in Son's 'Cannabis-Induced Psychosis' Stabbing Death

Chad O'Melia died in 2018 after Bryn Spejcher stabbed him 108 times at his condo in Sherman Oaks, California. Spejcher, who'd been dating O'Melia for a short time, also stabbed herself. Experts said Spejcher suffered from "Cannabis-Induced Psychosis" when she killed O'Melia. Last month, a judge sentenced Spejcher to two years probation and community service despite the prosecutor asking for a prison sentence. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy talks with O'Melia's father, Sean O'Melia, about the sentence and his son in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show that delves into the biggest stories in crime.
