    Florida Man Friday | Senseless Murder Turns into 30 Year Death Row Appeal | Case of Loran K. Cole
    Nov 15 2024
    In this Florida Man True Crime Story of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, Ky tells you the case of Loran Kensley Cole, the first man executed by lethal injection in Florida in 2024. This case takes us back to an attack in Ocala National Forest, leading to a 30-year journey on death row. Join Ky as she unravels the story of a man whose life was marred by a traumatic childhood, a violent past, and a crime that shocked the nation. We explore the brutal murder of John Edwards and the horrific assault on his sister, Pam Edwards, as they embarked on a seemingly innocent camping trip. Through detailed accounts and courtroom drama, we question the impact of Loran's troubled upbringing and whether it should have influenced his sentencing. Question: Do you believe Lauren's past should have been considered in his sentencing?Share your thoughts below01:47 " Lauren Kensley Cole's childhood was full of instability and trauma05:51 " John Edwards and his sister Pam went camping in Florida in 199413:29 " The defense tried to shift some of the responsibility to WilliamPrevious cases mentioned in this episodeFlorida Man Friday | Two Cases of Humor - Repeat Runner and Dryer Dweller | David Jerome Jackson and Gordon John Wanserhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/florida-man-friday-two-cases-of-humor-repeat-runner-and-dryer-dweller-david-jerome-jackson-and-gordon-john-wanser--62667550Free Bonus - Play Would You Rather With Kyhttps://www.patreon.com/posts/free-bonus-play-115681462?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkSources:https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/floridas-governor-desantis-schedules-first-execution-of-2024-for-dozier-reform-school-survivor-after-10-month-execution-hiatushttps://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2024/08/26/desantis-urged-to-spare-convicted-killer-once-held-at-dozier-school/74950247007/https://www.alligator.org/article/2024/08/florida-executes-ocala-national-forest-killer-convicted-of-murder-of-college-studenthttps://www.newsweek.com/convicted-murderer-loran-kenstley-cole-execution-florida-1946186https://law.justia.com/cases/florida/supreme-court/2004/sc03-2204.htmlhttps://www.wuft.org/public-safety/2024-08-30/loran-cole-convicted-of-a-murder-in-the-ocala-national-forest-is-the-first-2024-florida-executionhttps://www.wmnf.org/attorneys-loran-cole-argue-execution-stayed-because-parkinsons-disease/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MurderofJohnEdwards https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/28/john-edwards-loran-cole-execution/74906087007/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/29/loran-cole-florida-execution-lethal-injection/74982219007/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/08/29/loran-cole-execution-florida-death-row/74953650007/ https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2024/08/28/loran-cole-loved-ones-reflect-grapple-with-his-imminent-florida-execution/74804793007/ https://library.law.fsu.edu/Digital-Collections/flsupct/dockets/sc03-2204/03-2204rep.pdf https://casetext.com/case/cole-v-state-168 https://supremecourt.flcourts.gov/content/download/343672/file/01-192response.pdfhttps://flaglerlive.com/loran-cole-appeal-rejected/https://acis.flcourts.gov/portal/court/68f021c4-6a44-4735-9a76-5360b2e8af13/case/b58c38e1-ec6a-4491-b2d2-cbf5d5a40972https://www.wuft.org/public-safety/2024-08-29/u-s-supreme-court-refuses-to-block-execution-of-loran-colehttps://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2024/08/29/live-florida-to-execute-killer-of-fsu-student-30-years-after-crime/74979934007/https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/state/2024/08/29/florida-executes-loran-cole-for-1994-killing-of-fsu-student/74964846007/https://www.ocalagazette.com/leading-up-to-the-execution-of-loran-cole/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9d1n6y7779o**********************************************************************************HOW TO SUPPORT LOVE AND MURDER:🧃Buy me a coffee (or an apple juice)🧃:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/loveandmurderYou can now join Love and Murder's Supporter's Club in one of 3 places:1.

    Midweek Mini| Mother Murders Her Two Daughters to Spite Her Ex-Husband | The Case of Veronica Youngblood
    Nov 13 2024
    In this true crime story of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, Ky tells you about the case of Veronica Youngblood, a mother whose tumultuous past and bitter custody battle culminated in a tragic double murder. On August 5, 2019, a 911 call from a high-rise apartment in McLean, Virginia, revealed a horrifying scene: two young sisters shot by their own mother. As the investigation unfolds, we delve into Veronica's troubled history, marked by abuse and mental health struggles, and the complex dynamics of her relationship with her daughters and ex-husband, Ron Youngblood.

    Join us as we explore the thin line between mental illness and malice, and the devastating impact of this case on all involved.

    Question: Was Veronica a victim of her own mind, or was she a calculated killer?

5 to 4

Why it was 4 stars instead of 5 stars was, because the performance was not as good as some other podcasts. But, the stories are great.
