Small Town JusticeUpdate on Mad Michael's MillionsEvery time I've sat down to put the finishing touches on the second episode of the second season of Small Town Justice, I've stumbled onto a new interview that shakes things up and I have to go back and re-edit. Additionally, it appears that Mackay has been released from prison just as new warrants were issued for his arrest on charges of theft for ore than $400,000. So, I just wanted to drop everyone a line and let you know that we're almost there It'll just be a short time before I have more information and can then complete and release...2022-06-2205 minLegally Insane NewsMass Media Abides Woke Culture in Violence ReportingHow to think critically about race in ethical journalism.2022-06-1620 min
Small Town JusticeS2E1: Grumpy MonkeyThe second season of Small Town Justice opens with the witnesses who were conned, victims who were physically assaulted, and even the law enforcement that investigated Michael Mackay for his crime spree - starting way back with his teenaged joyriding. We also hear from the multiple felon himself, through what appears to be a livestreamed investment scam and a paranoid rant against a would-be mark.

Small Town JusticeEp 10: Inmate StollIn not one, but two calls with Robert Stoll in prison, he reveals quite a lot about the crimes he admitted to, including a remorseless denial of his criminal activities, the addiction that fueled his crime spree, and so much more. This is the interview the entire season comes down to, and it's definitely the one you'll want to hear.2022-05-101h 04
Small Town JusticeEp 9: Bott OutIn our second-to-last episode of the season, we finally hear from Angela Bott, wife of our inmate of interest, and mother to his child. She gives us her take on the mess her husband caused, the lead-up to his incarceration, his drug addiction, his motivations for committing fraud and theft, and targeting little, old ladies in her own neighborhood. Next week we speak with Robert Stoll, himself, in jail - currently serving a 10-year sentence.To get all of the case files and video episodes throughout this season, head over to LegallyInsaneFilms.com and click "Join...2022-05-031h 08
Small Town JusticeEp 8: Vics & DicsFor those who wanted to get some background on just how many victims, cops and even other businesses that were disrupted by Stoll's activities, this is your episode. Listen in as I find out how many people have died without seeing justice, a car dealer who had cars stolen right off his lot by Stoll, companies that victims went to in order to put their homes back together, and even undercover cops who detail their time being scammed by him as well.To vote on the finality of the show, and to let us know what you'd like...2022-04-291h 06
Small Town JusticeEp 7: Garden of EdieThe spectacular gal in this episode is another of Robert Stoll's victims that refused to wear the title of victim. She fought back and counted herself as one of the victors of justice. Fun fact: Stoll's conviction came on Edie's birthday. What a gift in an otherwise terrible story of fraud that befell her and at least 15 other targets in the Florida panhandle. For those keeping up with our livestreams, you'll know that we talked to Angela Bott, the wife of our convict of interest, and she answered a lot of those questions that our victims wanted to...2022-04-2655 min
Small Town JusticeEp 6: Renee's RentThrough not one but two separate interviews, Michael Mackay's and Robert Stoll's former landlord details the "act of God" it took to get them out of the warehouse she rented to them. She also describes how, if you're a con willing to abuse Florida's rental laws, you can basically live rent free for indefinitely, eluding to the notion that, in addition to scamming the residents of Gulf Breeze and Pensacola, they also allegedly scammed their renters. For those keeping up on our livestreams, I've said that I plan to call Stoll’s wife on tonight’s livestream. So, if y...2022-04-1950 min
Small Town JusticeEp 5: Better BusinessThe ladies at the Florida Better Business Bureau's investigations unit may be insanely fun to talk to. But don't get them confused with push-overs. They are not only responsible for coordinating Stoll's case with the Florida state prosecutor's office. They're also largely responsible for collecting and organizing a huge number of Stoll's victims. There's absolutely nothing that I could say to equate to level of appreciation that these victims have expressed to me for the hard work that Lisa and Tammy did in bringing Stoll to justice. Listen in as they detail how they came upon this case, what they...2022-04-121h 00
Small Town JusticeEp 4: Just One SentenceToday's talk is with the prosecutor who locked in an impressive conviction for Robert Stoll. His sentence didn't just include 10 years for felony racketeering. It also included 25 years of probation along with an order of restitution for his victims. Albeit, this will be after he's served at least 80% of his time, per Florida's penal code. And even then, due to the vast number of victims, they really won't get much per month. But it's still a slam dunk by anyone's standards. Thanks so much for sticking with us this far in Season One of Small Town Justice. This...2022-04-0548 min

Small Town JusticeEp 3: Bea is for BraveIn this week's episode we hear from Bea, another in a long line of victims that Robert Stoll was convicted of defrauding for nearly $100,000. Her contribution to that pile of money was $6,400. And Bea is a single mother, a veteran, and a school teacher with three children. So, that hit her in the wallet pretty hard. It was because of Bea's story that we set up an account to collect donations to help her finally get the dream kitchen that she paid for.

Small Town JusticeEp 2: Micah's MarauderAfter last episode's revelation of a potential ringleader in the fraud game, Micah and my co-host speculate that a more sinister game may be afoot. I don't want to give it all away, but since this episode, I've spoken with a state level investigator as well as the prosecutor's office in this case, and I can say that our early stage assumptions may have been onto something. Stay tuned for more interviews with those on the inside of this momentous case of fraud and trickery out of one of America's small beach communities. The winner of...2022-03-2252 min
Small Town JusticeAnonymous Case Interview Snippet 3.18.22An anonymous alleged victim of Michael Mackay, who's the former business partner of convicted fraudster, Robert Stoll, says he's been ripped off for at or near seven figures. This interview happened in our pre-launch. But Mackay was actually indicted since that time, and this is now shaping up to be one helluva story that's unfolding in real time - right now while you're listening.

Small Town JusticeThe Cabinet Con - Season 1 IntroSixteen victims, nearly $100,000 in damages, a team effort between the Better Business Bureau and the Florida State Prosecutor's office, and felony conviction for racketeering that includes 10 years of jailtime, full restitution, and 25 years of probation. And did I mention that nearly all the victims that came together, the investigating agency, and even the prosecutor are all women? This first season's release couldn't be better timed for March - International Women's Month! On Small Town Justice, I interview the witnesses, the victims, the prosecutors, the judges, and even the convicts serving their sentences in prison (this season included). To...2022-03-1502 min

Well, after releasing my latest true crime documentary, BTLQ, which was a huge underground success, stories of small town corruption and criminal activity came flooding in. Instantly, we knew we had to tell these stories. And so, STJ was born. Through this show, we’ve raised awareness on criminal activity, assisted in the successful prosecution of recidivist perpetrators, advocated and created funding campaigns for victims, and exposed massive levels of corruption in small town governments. Already, we have three seasons in the bag. But we are still lo...2022-03-1502 min
