Michael Dunn pulled into a gas station parking lot, peeved. The teenagers in the car next to him were playing their music too loud. Michael told his fiance, Rhonda, “I hate that thug music.” When Rhonda was in the gas station, Michael asked the boys to turn their music down. They did. But one of the boys, 17-year-old Jordan Davis was annoyed by Michael’s request. So he told his friend to turn the music back up. Michael Dunn flew into a rage. 

Then Brandi tells us about Brett Seacat. Brett was a pretty big deal in Kingsman, Kansas. (Just ask him! He’d tell you!) So when his wife, Vashti, said she wanted a divorce, Brett was outraged. He threatened to take the kids from her. Then, on April 30, 2011, Brett called 911 to report that Vashti had set their house on fire and died by suicide.

And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
