Can a Quadruple Bypass Excuse a Stabbing Spree?

Apr 19 2024 • 6 mins

In this riveting episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' the host and guest psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delve into the chaotic events involving Nicolae Miu at the Apple River. The discussion unpacks Miu’s actions following a violent altercation where he claimed to have stabbed several individuals in self-defense after being mobbed. Miu’s decision not to contact authorities immediately, opting instead to rejoin his group and discard the weapon, is critically examined. Shavaun proposes that Miu might have initially experienced a dissociative shock, impairing his judgment during and immediately following the incident. However, his subsequent lies about the altercation significantly impacted his credibility in court. The conversation also explores broader societal issues, questioning why such violent group behaviors seem increasingly prevalent among today’s youth and whether societal changes or greater media visibility play roles in this perception.
