The Black Hole Murders - Kibler, Arkansas

Not one joke about the lawyer's name literally being Settle? I get that it's criminal court, not civil, but like come on lmao

The death penalty SHOULD be increased. 65% of violent criminals commit recidivism within 5 years of being released. All the violent crimes are committed by 1% of the population because they do it over and over again. Today it is worse due to liberal courts giving low to no bail required to violent people undeserving, suspended sentences, short sentences, early release, ridiculous plea bargains, etc. They get out, do something else, rinse and repeat. Tax payers paying for decades of appeals is ridiculous. We are $40T in debt. SCOTUS needs to set hard timelines, minimum sentences for violent crime, shorten the amount of appeals possible. Maybe address judges, prosecutor, law enforcement for corruption or creating false evidence, hiding evidence, etc. Needs to be accountability on both sides, then things can be streamlined. Will an innocent person die? Sure. But have to go with the greater good. We cannot afford this willy nilly legal system, LITERALLY.

Before you testify or even get questioned for jury duty, who do you take an oath to? God. He is in court. If you were a defendant and when told to raise your hand for the oath, what do you think the jury would think if you refused, and said that you don't believe in God? Your chances of being convicted just increased 10 fold. Probably why that NEVER happens. Not even sure I do believe but a bling person could see that.

So I looked it up and a late 70s Ford LTD brand new was about $6300. Even brand new off the lot and $4500 seems a bit high for a used car

Union use to be awesome

Cowboy culture name is wild. I am named after the cowgirl from the Apple Dumpling Gang!

I hope I can leave a comment about how I feel and not get ate up about it cause I have been on your patreon for years now. But I am not understanding why it seems like on every other episode recently you put down religion. We all get it, you HATE organized religion. You do not have to always put us down about our choice to believe in a God. I really enjoy your podcast but also value my faith. Why not just treat religion like you treat Politics? Your comments have become a bit cringe lately. I expect an F you/ unfollow for my comment but I have invested in you guys for years and I hope you at least look at it from a different prospective. Anyway, still love the stories and laughs.

Uttering is knowingly presenting a forged document as genuine. No idea why

Loved Widow’s Bay! Can’t wait for the second series.

I looked up the names of some of the acts they read off and funnily enough it seems that Todd Mittge is the fort smith director of engineering who sings the national anthem sometimes lol

I must say I just finished jury duty. They feed you absolutely nothing as a matter of fact they tell you make sure you bring money to buy food and to pay for parking so… Your tax dollars ain’t going there, Jimmy.

Was a career royal ranger in Michigan my entire childhood. I was even “Ranger of the year” for my region or something. Idk I thought it was cool at the time but in reality the only cool part was getting to camp on my own with a group of dudes when I was like 12 or 14 or something. Any other RR fellers out here?

I’ve lived in Arkansas for 30 years now I’m 65 grew up in Oregon lived in Phoenix for 10 years. Had to get out of Phoenix because all of the drive-by shootings and crap so we moved to Arkansas 30 years ago site unseen didn’t know what to look forward to my mother-in-law bought a house here that was in the family so we decided to rent it from her and I said to my husband, “ who in the right mind wants to live in Arkansas” and he said” well look at it this way we’ll be the smartest people there” and you know they’re really are hillbillies in Arkansas genuine hillbillies and it is really a beautiful place and it is the best move we ever made without having a clue what we were getting ourselves into. I have ended up with multiple medical illnesses and this is the best state for me to be in right now to get medical care because they really have awesome medical care here believe it or not in this little hillbilly state. Yes it is funny and I love to hear stories from Arkansas thank you guys so much for what you do you’re awesome.

Nng Ll . .

2:46:34 ✨🎙️"If in any event Miss [Appointed Executioner] cannot fulfill her duties, the first runner-up shall take her place, assuming title and responsibilities.... And the new Miss [Appointed Executioner] is.... 👑💐 !!!" 😫👋🪓

Uttering is knowingly passing a forged document into circulation. Fantastic episode!

If James watched the Rick chow case in GA the medical examiner drew on the prosecutors white shirt

I was on a jury for six weeks last fall, five days of deliberations (should have been three days, one guy needed two extra days to see what took the rest of three or less 🤷‍♀️). They got us Domino’s pizza once, told us we’d have to pay for it ourselves if we wanted to deliberate through lunch time beyond that first day. The county I live in spends very little on jury lunches, apparently.

I will say I've been through many sketchy areas of multiple states and countries, very rarely am I nervous in areas. However getting fuel in Ft Smith one evening at about 2030 was the most I've ever actually feared for my own safety in public.

Royal Rangers is a church based boy scouts

My name is Gentry, it's my middle name i go by it. You may ask, who the fuck would use that as a everyday name. While first name is Earl and I'm a Jr. I always wondered why I was so messed up when I started listening I understood. My Earl Gentry Goode Jr, it in itself is 2 strikes against me. Im a recovering addict of the WTF kind, my oldest son's mom is my 4th cousin I swear I didnt know til afterwards (she and everyone else knew and thought it was ok, they knew i didnt know either)....oh yea I'm bipolar 2 with depression, anxiety,ADHD. Also use to have people drill me in the head with golfballs.........and I'm a lover of the unicorn. Thank you and that will be 5 dollars

I'm going back to listen for a 3rd time. I keep getting confused and missing stuff lol

Dude this a crazy case! Great job guys

OMG guys. I am a nerd & stopped what I was doing when you mentioned Widows Bay. Are y’all watching it??? I just finished the first season and I am obsessed with it. I’m about to rewatch because I KNOW I missed stuff. I would die for Patricia.

Lol my dad and brother were part of Royal Rangers 😂

@2:03:40 "somebody else's semen inside of her"... as opposed to? Her own?? 🤔

Arkansan here...and yep, you're nailing it!! I Live in NWA and commuted for a year to my office at the renovated-but still trashy - old Phoenix Village Mall in Fort Smith. Was miserable the whole time! Got out of there as soon as I could...lol...didn't care about taking a paycut. Hubby is from Van Buren and 1st thing he said when I was transferred was "we are NOT, I repeat NOT moving to the River Valley!!" 🤣. NWA definitely has a different vibe, it's not perfect (Imean it's still a blue dot on a red map, but it's home... and we're all from somewhere that we make fun of !! Love you guys, keep making me laugh!!

I was having a decent day until James and Jimmie informed me that I was unmarriable. 😂😭

Lmao the funny thing is I actually did go on family vacation to Arkansas each year as a kid. Lake Ouchita is beautiful. Can't wait to go back haha.

I had an Uncle Burl. NOT a nice guy. Ughhhhh

In Arkansas, uttering is a criminal offense that involves knowingly passing, presenting, or using a forged or altered document (like a fake check, ID, or contract) with the intent to defraud.

Love you're show♥︎s

Man, I've been on jury multiple times and never got lunch.

I used to LOVE HOT CHECK THURSDAY (Wednesday sometimes)

Nice try James, jury food stipends, hahaha. I did 3 days of jury duty for an idiot trying to avoid a DUI that was blatantly obvious. He staight op went on the stand and admitted he did it. I had to call out of work. I make over $200 dollars a day. The state paid me $35 dollars for my jury time of three days. So essentially I paid some dude over almost $600 to tell him he was drunk driving. In retrospect if I EVER get a jury notice again I'm throwing it in the trash. There is no way to prove I received it.

Someone should tell dozing donnie trickle down economics dont work before he fucks up the entire country and economy.........oh wait.

Hearing James cackling over Jimmie falling down the name stairs is hilarious.

Omg James was brilliant pointing out when she started her story to the cops

Arms to the sky and yell “Yahweh bin Yahweh!!!”

You guys are 100% the hardest working podcasters out there and I know we all appreciate it!!!

Great episode. It’s one of the few where I laughed hardest at the festival lineup.

Go back and listen to all of the episodes on Rozier, take a shot for every time they say Yahweh Bin Yahweh 🥴

Uttering is the act of passing forged or counterfeit documents with intent to defraud

Guy working in the mall parking lot has to be either a Fotomat employee or a locksmith.

lol from Arkansas

Yup so tired of the Air Force taking murders. I promise we aren’t all crazy fucks. And uttering is a crime involving a person with the intent to defraud that knowingly sells, publishes or passes a forged or counterfeited document. More specifically, forgery creates a falsified document and uttering is the act of knowingly passing on or using the forged document. Hahaha I like your explanation better.

I wonder if the anonymous caller was someone who went to the rec area to smoke weed and found the body. In the 80s in Arkansas, I would imagine that wouldn’t be good to be caught with that but they didn’t want to leave a person out there.

Both get with the fee, and likely a hold on future deposits as well.

J&J, when you are in Minnesota in September I will take you to the Salvation Army in Minneapolis, it’s a homeless shelter.

I know this is a comedy show. Arkansas is quite a beautiful state and there are many fun things to do, especially in NW Arkansas. The Fayetteville area is growing rapidly with Walmart, Tyson, etc. The biking opportunities are numerous and Crystal Bridges Museum of Art is world class. You guys might visit soon to see what you are missing! Thanks for a great show,

Uncle fudge would have to be the worst kind of fudge 😂

Piston rings guys piston rings you know this

Uncle Fudge looking like Uncle Bad Touch....

Thank you for posting these episodes exactly when I need them aka on big bake days. Appreciate you 🙏

Guys! Don't miss out on the live shows! Im telling you. I went to the one in Buffalo and they crushed!!!! Even my wife loved it. She started listening on her own after the show! So fucking worth it 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

Lmao the music lineup is full of laughter…omg hahaha

This is cool. I love the Arkansas STMs…not far from Fort Smith, which is an interesting city that could’ve been a Chicago or St Louis but never quite caught on

Fantastic episode!! Also, the Salvation Army still provides housing to people in need!

P. S. Thanks to Jimmie for explaining the names he reads at the end, now it makes a lick of sense!

Halfway through…and, this is one of the WILDEST episodes you guys have ever done!! Fuckin hell

I might have make a second Patreon just so I can get Jimmie to say something dirty . He does anyways but I want to hear him say Barry McOckinner or get him to talk about getting a Dickens Cider

I had a great uncle burley and I live in Arkansas😂

Not hard of hearing-processing disorder?

I live in Arkansas. If I had a million dollars, I'd leave this shithole ASAP...not build a rural compound!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!
