‘I Had To’: Alabama Man Accused of Murdering Four People Over Dirty Dishes

An argument over dirty dishes turned deadly when Alabama man Jared Smith-Bracy allegedly killed his grandparents, brother, and a friend in February 2023. The 21-year-old, who may face the death penalty, allegedly told arresting officers, “I had to get them before they got me.” Authorities said Smith-Bracy committed the brutal murders with a pickax and firearm before he ran off into the woods. Now, he’s pleading insanity. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber breaks it down with psychologist Dr. John Delatorre.
