The Cheat Sheet: Carjackers and Convictions

The Cheat Sheet is The Murder Sheet's segment breaking down weekly news and updates in some of the murder cases we cover.

We cover instances of carjacking, rape, and murder out of Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, and Utah. The first case deals with the atrocious death of a young mother who leapt into action to save her son from carjackers. The second is a shocking shooting of a Black woman by a law enforcement officer. One case is that of a high-profile murder case where a religious reference resulted in an overturned death sentence. And the last case involves legal wrangling over an overturned conviction.

We personally enjoyed their grapefruit Flowstate gummies. This CBG + CBD powerhouse really helped us tap into our productivity, and left us feeling energized but focused enough to get a lot done during the day. Like, we have had an extremely busy summer and we feel like Flowstate really helped us make it over the finish line a few times, editing multiple episodes a day, digging through documents, and knocking out a bunch of interviews. We couldn’t recommend it more.
