Hey everyone, Jillian here. The following episode you're going to hear is a court junkie bonus episode.

One of many that I am now going to be offering on Patreon starting immediately.

Bonus episodes will be shorter but still very detailed cases that have interesting legal angles or outcomes.

I'm really excited about these because I might also choose cases that are ongoing and maybe haven't completely moved to this system yet.

Each month I'm going to release a bonus episode for anyone who donates $6 a month on Patreon.

This is episode one and episode two is already up there.

So you'll have something to listen to as soon as you sign up.

If you're interested just go to court junkie.com slash support where you'll be redirected to my Patreon page.

Choose the $6 tier and then you'll have access to these bonus episodes and add free regular court junkie episodes.

That's court junkie.com slash support.

And now here's episode one.

On the night of December 7th 2012, residents in rural Elven, Texas heard the metal on metal sound of a car wreck.

Then about five minutes later, they heard a single gunshot.

When police arrived on the scene, they found 12-year-old David Barajas Jr. dead in a ditch.

And his 11-year-old brother Caleb was in bad shape.

The two Barajas boys had been helping their father push home the family truck,

which had run out of gas when they were struck from behind by a car driven by 20-year-old Jose Banda.

But David Jr. and Caleb weren't the only ones that police would find at the scene,

either deceased or barely clinging to life.

They also found the body of Jose Banda still inside his car, a single gunshot wound to the head.

Somebody had murdered him.

This is Jillian and you are listening to Court junkie bonus episode one.
