Let's dive on into this. All right. So we've had a lot of listeners sending questions. We have read your reviews. We have a lot to talk about. Yes, that we do. So probably the most asked question has been about the handcuffs and the shackles.

So the two questions are when and why did he have these shackles? And then the next question is generally, wasn't that tied to premeditation?

Well, I was shocked because I said to you, I remember Spencer's kind of being a little edgy when I was growing up, but I've not been to a Spencer's in years. And I was nervous to do it, but I went on and looked. And you actually can buy handcuffs. But I understand after watching the video of Dr. Cogswell, when he pulls them out of the evidence bags...

You could tell they're lighter weight and they actually have a little button that you can undo, but they're serious enough that if someone was handcuffed and didn't know what was happening, they would still be handcuffed and maybe couldn't get out.

And we've tried to clean up this courtroom audio. We've had a lot of comments that it's sometimes hard to hear. And that is us doing our best to make it sound good. But I also wanted to touch while we're on Dr. Cogswell on the fetal position piece, because we also had questions about that earlier. Many people wanted to know, was she already handcuffed and shackled before she was attacked?

Okay. Let's go through a few other questions that people had for you, Sarah. Okay. Um, do you know, was Jason offered a plea deal or

Well, I don't think he was because at the point when the trial started, the prosecution did not know that in the opening statement, his defense attorney was going to say Jason killed Jasmine. In fact, the family didn't know that either. Right. Yeah, nobody did. So I think the answer to that is no.

Okay, cool. All right. So we had a lot of questions also about Jason's motive, which... are all theories at this point, from what we understand. A couple of comments here said, if by all accounts they had a normal relationship, how and why did he suddenly commit such a heinous murder?
