Episode 384: Drunk College Girl Kills 2 People Then Sings Justin Bieber Songs & Plays Dumb

---

There is a college student laying down on the hospital bed. She’s staring up at the ceiling in distress as someone records her silently from the corner of the room.

“I’m going to have such a long day tomorrow - I’m not going to answer anyone’s Snapchats!”

The person recording does not respond.

“Well, you’re too quiet. I’m going to start singing since I hate the quiet.”

The girl gets up in the hospital bed to perform Justin Bieber’s “Intentions.” She’s whipping her head around like she’s giving a stage performance on tour. She just doesn’t understand why the man in the room with her is so stiff. Loosen up. Have some fun.

He snaps at her - “you want me to be honest with you? You’re going to jail. You don’t have bond. You killed two people tonight. That’s what’s going on. So no, you’re not going to school tomorrow.”

This is the case of Stephanie Melgoza - the college student who killed two people and proceeded to complain the whole time about how she needed to go to class, told the officers about how excited she was for her Vegas trip, and sang songs at the crime scene.
