From birth Ethan Couch was raised in a bubble of wealth, privilege, and lack-of-consequences. He was taught that money can buy you anything, and there’s no reason to be accountable for your actions. His teenage rebellious behavior escalated out of control in a series of incidents crescendo-ing in the deaths of 4 people and severe injuries of 9 more. During his trial and sentencing a radical defense of “affluenza” was presented and became a self-fulfilling prophecy: Ethan received a lenient sentence because he had been sheltered by wealth his whole life (losing his sense of consequences and morals). Over the following years he became a repeat offender, always slipping out of any true justice when caught. His behavior continues to this day. The real question is – who’s fault is it that he’s seems to be a remorseless psychopath?

In the early hours of January 13th, 2018 beloved wife and mother Kathleen ‘Kat’ Dawn West was found dead across the street from her Calera, Alabama home. The crime scene was shocking. 42-year-old Kat was found partially nude with a blunt force trauma to her head lying next to her was a half full bottle of absinthe and her cell phone. Kat described herself as a full-time wife and Mommy who doted on her daughter Lola, aged 12 years old at the time. But what many people didn’t know is that Kat had a second online life quite at odds with her housewife persona. Kat was an avid social media user and in March 2016 she started using her online accounts to make money, initially posting links to items for sale but it was the sexy pictures of her modelling lingerie that helped her amass 52,000 Instagram followers under the provocative username ‘Kitty Kat West’. This led to Kat starting her own online business on the Onlyfans website and posting more explicit material. Kat’s double life was not a secret from her husband Jeff. Kat had been married to Jeff West for 14 years, on the surface they had a loving, open relationship but digging deeper there were issues in their marriage. Kat’s husband Jeff has been charged and convicted with her murder but the outcome remains controversial. Jeff has always claimed his wife died from a drunken accidental fall. Could Jeff have killed his wife? Did an online stalker murder Kat in cold blood? Was it a drunken accident? With the help of police investigation reports, first-hand accounts and the coroner’s autopsy report Dr. Michael Hunter unravels the mysterious case to uncover how and why Kat West died.
On the morning of December 23rd, 2015, just two days before Christmas, cherished wife and mother of two boys Connie Dabate was found brutally murdered, shot to death in her own basement in Ellington Connecticut. Connie’s husband Rick was also found tortured covered in blood. He reported the shocking story of a home invasion gone wrong, a masked intruder who had attempted to rob the family, shooting Connie twice in the process. The Dabates seemed like an idyllic family.

Connie was a pillar of the small close-knit community of Ellington and as a couple they were well liked and had lots of friends. But what people didn’t know about doting father and loving husband Rick was he had a double life, a second phone and a secret credit card that Connie knew nothing about and the case unfolds darker secrets emerge. A murder that shocked a community and ripped families apart. But, was this simply a tale of a home robbery gone tragically wrong? Who was in the Dabate house that day? What kind of person would murder a mother in cold blood just two days before Christmas?

After Lorena Bobbitt snapped and cut off her husband John Wayne Bobbitt’s penis with a kitchen knife in 1993, the extensive abuse she had endured from him seemed to sail into that empty field along with the soon-to-be-infamous severed organ. Her trauma would barely be an afterthought of the sordid story in the public’s eyes. Remarkably candid revelations from Lorena (now Gallo) detail what life was truly like inside the eye of the post-incident hurricane. And a powerful one-on-one conversation with Amanda Knox enables Lorena to compare the most dramatic kind of notes with another woman who’s had her life hijacked and redefined by a media frenzy. In addition to Lorena being ultra-transparent about the abuse she suffered at the hands of John during their marriage, she also reveals that she is shockingly still being harassed by him—and their toxic relationship continues to this day. Decades after the crime that launched a million punchlines, Lorena is now reclaiming her narrative by giving a powerful voice to the traumatic parts of her story that the media and public largely ignored after the infamous slicing incident. The world is finally beginning to truly understand that there were two victims in the apartment that night—and Lorena’s story is one of survival and transformation. Of course, Lorena always knew her truth. In this documentary, she shares a never-before-seen perspective on a legendary story people thought they knew. There was much more to the Bobbitt saga than what the tabloids and late-night comics made people believe. And there’s much, much more to the woman at the heart of all the cheap jokes and bitter drama. Lorena has been to hell and back, and she’s ready to tell all…
