S1 E48: Therapist Manipulated Patient to Murder For Her : Case of Jake Nolan

On Oct. 11, 2022, Manhattan psychiatrist 40 year-old Pamela Buchbinder was sentenced to 11 years in prison after being found guilty to one of the most bizarre crime stories in New York City history — the brutal and nearly fatal 2012 attack on Dr Micheal Weiss, her ex and father of her child. The person who attempted the murder was her cousin and client, 19 year old Jake Nolan. Jake Nolan had a long history of substance abuse and depression and was asked to live with Pamela and her 4 year old son as a free rehab.
