Just received a message that on 10/11 Dateline will feature the Brett Seacat story!

Thanks, have to mark my calendar for that.

ETA: The following Friday is RC's sentencing.
 
I hope someone on youtubessss has the episode for later viewing!

I think you'll be able to view the whole episode on NBC's website the day after it's shown (maybe 24 hours, something like that), pretty sure a link will get posted for ya.
 
Previews of 'Burning Suspicion', Dateline episode on Brett and Vashti Seacat airing tomorrow evening (10/11/13), check your local time:

Thanks geevee for finding this, I had checked earlier in the week and it wasn't there yet. Looks like they will have a good show. That fire looks pretty hot, I think Brett waited a while before he called it in. He should have got more time than what he did. Stupid Kansas laws!
 
For those that remember Brett's statement to the court after his Verdict was read, or was it his sentencing. Anyway he claimed that Judge Larry Solomon was doing the sentencing because he wanted appointed to the Kansas Supreme Court.

Apparently you file to run for the Kansas Supreme Court and then are interviewed. Here is an article about the candidates and Judge Soloman isn't one of them:

The other nominees are: Karen Arnold-Burger, judge, Overland Park; Victor Braden, lawyer, Lawrence; Daniel Creitz, judge, Erie; Dennis Depew, lawyer, Neodesha; David Klaassen, lawyer, Marquette; Thomas Malone, judge, Topeka; Anthony Mattivi, lawyer, Topeka; Steven Montgomery, judge, Spring Hill; Steven Obermeier, lawyer, Olathe; Curtis Roggow, lawyer, Shawnee; Caleb Stegall, judge, Lawrence; and Merlin Wheeler, judge, Emporia

Glad at least he can't hurt anyone else now. Idiot.
 
Yes I am to glad he is locked up for a long time, too bad Kansas doesn't have LWOP!

These solved cases are hard to find now after they get moved, jmo
 
Just watched the dateline episode. God I forgot what an arrogant person he is.

Dateline just reran their 2hour segment on this case on Sunday. Boy did he ever manage to snow his brother into believing all his lies! And I can't believe what he told the judge. Everything he accused the judge of applied to him!!! The judge handled it well.
I hope her sister and brother manage to find closure and I hope her sister got the custody of the kids.
 
Brett Seacat lawyer: Trial unfair without look at Vashti Seacat’s private side

A state court judge’s permitting testimony about Vashti Seacat’s “public face” while allowing jurors little to no look into her private side violated Brett Seacat’s rights to a fair murder trial, an appellate lawyer for the former lawman told the Kansas Supreme Court on Thursday.

Debra Wilson said prosecutors knew that her client’s defense at his first-degree murder trial in 2013 was to claim that his wife committed suicide, prompting them to secure nine witnesses to testify about her “sunny disposition, her optimism and her devotion to her children.”

Nice try Brett, not really may you rot in prison. imo
 
Sorry, Brett, no get-out-of-jail free card today. Wait 30 or so more years and try for parole by admitting you did it and are regretful.
