Biggest WTF story...

For me it's that of Tim Good. He owned a dairy farm in West Virginia, and hired a man named David Freeman. Freeman, would eventually use his religious beliefs to basically enslave Tim in his own house. On top of that, Freeman and his family lived off of Tim's money. A while later, Freeman abandoned the house, but a person who happened to later break in found Tim's body in the basement.

Freeman would later be arrested, but was only given a 10-year prison sentence, of which he would be released early. For a crime like that, it should have been life.

Yeah i thought that was crazy, that he l=would let an outsider in and basically take over and keep him in the basement. That would not have been me, i would have kicked him out, and if he tried anything, i'd kill him first. It's kill or be killed in this world.

Yes. I have this story featured on other tv shows about murder and crime. Such an awful thing to happen.

One thing you have to keep in mind though is some people are powerful. They can control others. Look at Jim Jones and other cult leaders. They have something about them that draws others to them and they gain control. Those under control are not always weak and wimpy.

You can only be controlled if you allow yourself to be controlled.

The justice system is dumb

I thought the one about Mr. Palmer meeting his identical double was a big far fetched. They knew the same family story, shared the same surname, but; somehow couldn't figure out how they were related. Mr. Palmer seemed liked a nice guy and I'm not saying he is lying, but I never thought it was a true story lol. I really enjoyed it however.

No, liberals are dumb and they poison the justice system.

Yes, that case is so freaky. The murderer was known as Dave Freeman (also as Ben Freeman) and his real name was William David Cooper. He and his family lived in Tim Good's home while Tim's body rotted in the basement. They took his life and spent all his money.

Freeman/Cooper spent very little time in prison. Justice failed Tim Good. The scary thing is that this Cooper murderer is free and probably living next door to someone who has no idea of what he's capable of.

No, liberals failed him. You vote for liberals, you voter for crime.

What do you expect from liberals? They love criminals and make the victims the villains.

there is really 2 many to remember and mention.. the main one that always sticks with me even for unintentionally funny reasons would be the "wacker" story.

the east area rapist is another one.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Mark Nichols, who OBVIOUSLY murdered his wife but the dopey ass Nebraska police were too inept to nab him. I'm pretty sure that, even after the episode aired, they found her blood in the trunk of his car, yet he somehow has never served any time in prison.

Seriously, find that episode online and watch it. It's shocking how the evidence points directly to him and yet nobody has done a thing to this day. I wonder if his kids realize their dad killed their mom.
