Florida’s Free Kill Law - The Story of Cameron Perritt

Scott Pattison, Van Damme look-a-like, murders wife with weight bar

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2062562/fan_mail/new] Have you ever seen a grown man cry, whoop, and hyperventilate for a solid seven minutes? That’s what Miami real estate broker George Pino did while his own attorney was giving opening statements during his manslaughter trial which just got started this month. He’s accused of killing one of his daughter’s friends and leaving another severely injured after crashing his boat into a steel channel marker when a took the group of teens out to celebrate her 18th birthday.  There was one cooler filled with alcohol for the girls and another for George and his wife. The family had celebrated with friends earlier in the day at a sandbar and were headed home when George crashed straight into the channel marker and capsized the boat. The boat crasher is one of the cases we’re talking about in this week’s episode of the Gulf Coast Confidential Podcast.  We’re also talking about toll booth crasher Deanna Harrell, who was allegedly plowed when she plowed her pickup truck into a prefabricated aluminum toll booth operating a pickup truck in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, and killed a longtime toll booth attendant.  And just for a little dash of “what the feezy” we’re checking in on the case of accused California killer Nick Reiner who now wants to tap into money from the trust fund that his parents set aside for him and use it to pay for his defense for killing them.  But the main course of this week’s episode is the chilling case of Scott and Lisa Pattison.  It looked like a tragic home gym accident ….until the killer forgot about his cameras. When Lisa’s husband Scott frantically called 911 in July 2009, he claimed he found Lisa pinned by a heavy barbell across her throat at their home gym in Indiana.  He put her in his truck, racing toward the hospital, crying accident. But investigators quickly realized the math wasn't mathing.  Was it a devastating weightlifting mishap, or a coldly calculated plot driven by a secret tawdry affair?  Join us for the latest episode of the Gulf Coast Confidential podcast “Scott Pattison, Van Damme look-a-like, murders wife with weight bar.” Baby Boomers: The Strangest Generation [https://babyboomersthestrangestgeneration.buzzsprout.com] A light look at growing up in the 60's and 70's, TV, music, family life, politics,...

Texts, warm milk, and ‘Boom’ shirt – Mackenzie Shirilla’s Leap Day appeal

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2062562/fan_mail/new] Mean girls rule by fear – the gossip, the condescension, the ostracizing – it’s all designed to keep them at the top of the food chain and others around them so scared that no one holds them accountable for their cruelty and corruption.  Some people take whatever mean girls dish out – no matter what – because they’re afraid of becoming the next target of bullying or rumors.  Queens of mean don’t deal in facts; they deal in toxic drama. No one wears that tarnished crown better than Mackenzie Shirilla. The 21-year-old Ohio woman is serving 15 years to life in prison for deliberately crashing her car into a brick wall at speeds of 100 mph. The 2022 crash killed her boyfriend, 20-year-old Dominique Russo and their friend, 19-year-old Davion Flanagan.  Thousands of recently released texts between Shirilla and Russo, show that Mackenzie, who was 17 at the time of the crash, threatened, insulted, and talked down to him repeatedly while they dated. She treated the young man more like an ATM and a whipping post than a friend or companion.  After years of this abuse, (they’d been together since she was 13), the messages show he wanted to break it off with her because he thought it was best for both of them.  She was not having it.  And the texts she sent her own dad Steve Shirilla, are enough to make any normal parent and child cringe. She demands he rub her feet, bring “warm milk” to her room, and fetch her bougie Starbucks to-go orders.  In our latest episode of Gulf Coast Confidential, “Texts, warm milk, and ‘Boom’ shirt – Mackenzie Shirilla’s Leap Day appeal,” we’re picking up where we left off with Mean Girl Barbie Mackenzie and the more, we learn the worse it is.   Baby Boomers: The Strangest Generation [https://babyboomersthestrangestgeneration.buzzsprout.com] A light look at growing up in the 60's and 70's, TV, music, family life, politics,...

Florida’s Free Kill Law - The Story of Cameron Perritt

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2062562/fan_mail/new] What happens when a medical error takes your loved one's life, but the state of Florida says you have no right to answers?  In this powerful personal documentary, we follow the family and friends of 33-year-old Cameron Perritt as they fight against Florida Statute § 768.21(8)—better known as the "Free Kill" law.  Because Cameron was over 25 and unmarried, his surviving family members are barred from seeking non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, in wrongful death claims. This legal loophole does more than block financial justice; it blocks the entire discovery process, leaving grieving families facing a wall of silence from healthcare providers.  From the heartbreaking personal loss to the high-profile billboards at the state border, witness one family’s relentless battle to repeal this controversial law and restore medical accountability in Florida.
