"If your wife poisons you then contact Morgan and Morgan to submit a claim in 8 clicks or less from your couch. Bonus - If your daughter poisons you too then submit a second claim with only 4 more clicks from your recliner".

I live in upstate New York Jesse and many years ago a lady poisoned her husband over a period of time with antifreeze or ethylene glycol. I have tasted some on my tongue and always thought you could taste it in a drink but obviously not so much. Love your show young man!

[OPbball]

These demons always take the cowards way out

[caradowray]

Did that doctor say unfortunately he disnt die from the dosage. Shouldnt she have said fortunately

[msmee]

I was served a drink with a date r*pe drug in it, this was around 2011 or 2012 my friend and i took a shot of tequila and instan😂knew something was wrong the way the drink burned my thand had a grain feel going down. Thankfully friends immediately took us to hospital where it was confirmed we were drugged...had to drink a tar drink that made me throw up.

[deborahbaker]

So I guess all of her…..Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol’s backfired on her and now she has to take the blame and punishment all alone ‼️ So how did that work for her ⁉️

[kimmartin]

Jeez, if you can't trust your own family!

[greatestever]

They basically put anti freeze in his food ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

[ginamarshall]

My understanding is that manufacturers of ethylene glycol have added an ingredient to make the taste bitter or undesirable because of it being used in so many cases like this. I could be crazy but I swear I thought I had heard a couple of years ago.

[PrincessCashmonie]

She left her daughter holding the bag😮This is evil to its core. 🍎

[intune]

[Silver-Sliver]

People need to stop harboring hate and turbulence their hearts. It's soul crushing and leads to evil deeds. Horrific and devastating stuff.
