All I can say is WOW! What a freaking breath of fresh air reading something from someone that isn’t afraid to tell it how it is!

As Bryn’s former boyfriend (the one that smoked with her for her first time on our camping trip in Washington) and still very good friend. I can tell you, I have never seen even a pinch of violence while we were dating or after. As a marine corps infantry veteran, I know violence, and she’s not capable of it. So no, she isn’t a danger to society (that some people like to argue) nice try tho!

It has been absolutely heart breaking what she has had to endure these past 6 years. It absolutely speaks to her character that her friends, family, both families she lived with in California, and all of my friends and family still support her. Because we know the real Bryn.

The statement you quoted from her Grandmother is very true. I can’t count the amount of times we could be doing any kind of activity and she would just break down crying still in disbelief that she took someone’s life. It’s been exhausting for her to constantly fake a smile and act like she’s ok.

People complain that she didn’t seem remorseful in court, she had to be on a cocktail of drugs to get her thru all of that and they make you numb. But people don’t like to think about that. The amount of ignorance is astounding. Thank you for writing exactly how it really went down in court. It’s been very frustrating reading all the lies all over the internet. People speaking on her that don’t know her, haven’t never met her or even had a conversation with her.

And to the naysayers out there doubting marijuana induced psychosis because they have been smoking for 30 years and it’s never happened to them. That say the experts are wrong and they know much more than the doctors… Well, I’ve been alive for 34 years and I’ve never broken a bone, it isn’t possible to break bones. Anyone that says they have broken a bone or have a broken bone…I’m sorry you’re full of shit! Because it’s never happened to me! … That’s how you all sound. Just because something hasn’t happen to you (and good for you) doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

I really appreciate you putting this out there, thank you so much. I could keep writing probably 20 more paragraphs but I’ll digress.

I listened to your interview on Every Brain Matters and am happy to learn more about the case I’ve been following closely for the last 6 years. I went to grad school with Bryn and am also a pediatric audiologist, so it feels too close to home. It could’ve easily been me or any one of my friends. My heart goes out to her for healing from this horrific tragedy. She has already proven to be stronger than most.

As a Christian and reviewing all the witnesses and statements and evidence on this case from

Bryn Spejcher mom saying that her daughter Bryn and Chad were only friends but Chad wanted more and her daughter Bryn only wanted friendship and the other witness chads roommate saying he told Chad to slow things down with bryn but he refused, then chads roomate states that night he heard Bryn telling

Chad to get off her , after Bryn stated she tried to sleep it off on the sofa but Chad kept bothering

her , he had every intention to get her blasted and

high so he could violate her sexually while she

was out of it trying to sleep it off , I believe Chad

tried to rape her and she defended herself but

can't remember much and she only tried to hurt

herself because she felt ugly and violated by.

Chad , even her mom stated her daughter was

only defending herself. As the roommate stated

the sofa was turned over with blood so it

happened on the sofa when she stabbed Chad in

self defense. But for whatever reason

Bryn Spejcher won't talk about the attempted

rape or can't remember it. I believe the attorney,s

and Dr.Phil got it all wrong by not asking her

questions if Chad tried to rape her. There's more

to this case then what's being said and shared

I believe she's innocent of all of this.

She’s a first degree murderer who should have charged with first degree murder. Someone here said “She was terrified her younger boyfriend would try and get her high and take advantage of her sexually”….uh, if that’s true, why’d she go over there? Wasnt she a 27 year old grown woman? Talk about victim blaming. She was texting him I’m anger the whole time she was waiting, then butchered him, and his dog. Then she posted $500,000.00 bond. Then she played at home for 4 years before her ties to law enforcement and the courts let her off the hook. I’m not a religious person, but, if there’s a hell, Bryan should burn there for all eternity, while Chads family watches and eats popcorn.

I lost my precious 22 yr old son to suicide after having three psychotic episodes from THC concentrates and Delta8. My son was a kind and so loving. In psychosis it was as if a demonic entity invaded his body. Each psychotic episode took on a different personality. After coming down from psychosis he was an empty shell.

although he would recover he was never the same and left with extreme PTSD. He saw no way out. He ended his life Dec 23, 2021… two days before Christmas.

What makes my blood boil, is the true culprit of these horrible tragedies is the MARIJUANA INDUSTRY, yet they get off Scott free again and again and again!!!

Had the drug in question been Prozac she would have more people on her side. Potheads will defend their weed to the end, wearing their blinders.

This is the absolute best article I’ve read on Bryn and Chad’s case. Thank you!

I'm a 9/10 the bong in question was laced with something more extreme his roommate attests to tripping balls after ripping it once. There are no strains of cannabis that do that to a seasoned smoker but there are hundreds of designer drugs that do. For example salvia which is legal in most places and wouldn't appear in normal toxicology screenings causes an extreme dissociative state. Solid chance dude was either sold some "good weed" AKA bad weed with other shit in it or if we want to speak ill of the dead he was planning something more sinister. I'd like to give both sides the benefit of the doubt here and say she didn't mean to kill him and he didn't mean to drug her.
