He got moved to an open prison in autumn 2022
bummed I won’t be able to attend the live I am moving that day :( But I am sure it’s going to be awesome
31 minutes in I’m guessing his family member did the first murder
Love NWMH and both of you! Can't wait for the live! So glad you covered this case! *As a UK native it's pronounced Nar-Brah not Boro like how US towns and cities are pronounced I know it's confusing because of the spelling 🙈
Come on Payton. Scotland is not England. We don’t really associate ourselves with them 😂
I was trying to order my tickets for the live show. There is a spot for a discount code. Is there a discount code?
Wish there something we can do to keep him in? Like sign a petition or something. Just can’t imagine him being allowed out again!
I don’t know if it was editing or not but the fact that it cut from Garrett talking about his inevitable hair loss to Payton just going OK sources with no reassurance was amazing 😂😂😂
