The phrase “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” doesn’t apply to Nikko Jenkins

I'm waiting for the day when Dr. Grande says "I'm diagnosing someone today and I'm not speculating".

450 years in prison... I love how a guy, who operates under Egyptian inspirations gets a sentence of biblical length.

"He tried to carve 666 into his head, but he was using a mirror so it turned out backwards."
You can't make this stuff up.

The first 4 hundred years are the toughest, after that it’s all down hill.

I like how Dr Grande knows we're so well trained at this point, he doesn't bother going over the OCEAN acronym anymore

[yesr]

"It's hard to imagine somebody looking at him, and saying 'Well, I could do worse' !"
OMG.

Dr. Grande is an intellectual machine. What a pace and such energy with all these videos! Thank you for producing and uploading excellent quality material daily. Best part of my day for sure.

A 4x murderer can get married, but I can't get a text back. 😫🥴

[ladyshackleford]

He’s bald because his hair is too scared to grow on his head

[manybookslittletime]

"This highlights the shortcomings of staying active in the Prison Alumni Association."
That's when I completely cracked up!!🤣

[blakedel]

I live for Dr. Grande’s cold blooded and witty sarcasm!! 😊❤️

[sisteremm]

"I get the sense that Jenkins uses tattoos on his head, like other people use an etch-a-sketch" 😂😂😂 GOLD!!!

[DavidDeeble]

It's never a good sign when the sentence "He was released from prison after serving a ten year term" is followed by "And now the timeline of his crimes."

If you watch one of the true crime videos on Nikko Jenkins, be sure to read comments. They are hilarious. My favorite: When the boogeyman was a kid, his parents told him Nikko Jenkins was under the bed.

A family that “preys” together, stays together.

The dry humour in this is top much. Especially the razor blade for every inmate initiative and the ambulance lines.

"He had trouble following the rules in prison?" What a surprise. He had so much potential....not.

If Jenkins is telling the truth about being diagnosed with those disorders so early at 9 it makes me wonder if they heavily medicated him from a young age. There's a really slimy underhanded practice where psychs say, "Well, they're too young to diagnose with bipolar disorder/schizophrenia etc but I'll prescribe them the meds for it anyway." It happened to me. From 14 to 18 I was on 8 antipsychotics and Ritalin prescribed by one doctor. He actually told me I didn't fit the criteria for ADHD but he was going to give me Ritalin anyway. I'm 25 now and my brain is still healing from the damage all those drugs did to me. I also ended up with adult onset epilepsy which while I can't prove it's related to that it's interesting I ended up having my first eight seizures in a row shortly after stopping my meds (because an ER doctor told me it was criminal I was prescribed all of that) and I've had at least one a year since then. It happens a lot with severely abused kids who the systems doesn't care about: just medicate them to get them to shut up and not do anything about the actual issues. Him saying that stuck out to me because I was nine when they first said I was bipolar. I still remember being held down by family members as my mom tried to shove 100mg of Zoloft into my mouth.

Dr. Grande. Your content has been a great source of intrigue the last few months. I have spent many evenings browsing through your videos and listening to your evaluations. I appreciate the effort you put into the research, it makes it all worthwhile especially relating to the macabre-type stuff. Kudos sir.
