    True Crime Time For March 25, 2026 | Death Row Case, Wedding Arrest, Texas Burglar & Police Shooting

    What would make someone torture and kill another person for over an hour—and then fight to avoid execution decades later? In today’s episode, Woody breaks down the disturbing case of Krista Gail Pike, one of the most brutal female killers in modern U.S. history, as Tennessee prepares to carry out her death sentence. The conversation dives into the legal battle over lethal injection, accountability, and what justice really looks like for victims and their families.

    We also cover a bizarre “wedding day arrest” where a groom is taken into custody moments before saying “I do,” after allegedly falsifying his marriage license to hide his status as a registered sex offender. Plus, a Houston burglar nicknamed “Spider-Man” is finally caught after a string of break-ins, and a Louisiana man is sentenced for crimes involving a minor.

    In a deeper discussion, Woody unpacks a controversial police shooting in Texas that resulted in a deputy being charged with murder, raising serious questions about use of force, training, and split-second decisions in the field. As always, this episode mixes real-life crime, legal insight, and raw commentary you won’t hear anywhere else.
