He was too young to have considered a living will. If he had, he could have had legal protection from someone else deciding what would happen after his death. Otherwise it falls to next of kin, which is usually the spouse. This whole thing is screwed up.
Somebody needs to start looking at changing custody laws. A killer's family should not be allowed to take custody unless the victim's family is unable. Half the time, the killer's family enabled the killer or even raised the killer.
ABSOLUTELY on point. Really. If they raised a psychopath who’s to say they won’t do the same again now with the grandkids???! // Regarding the person who says she’s having a “civil exchange”, yeah sure, they were the first one triggered and calling names, said I was narrow minded, when I was just stating facts about infancy and psychology (fortunately her aggressive reply has been deleted now). No point in arguing with anyone with such heavy projection issues. She’s right now name calling another user saying they’re “sketchy”.

No, a killers family should only be able to have shared custody. It only hurts the kid in the long run. However I don’t think spouses/partners should automatically get full custody when the other dies until they’re cleared as a suspect
When the judge tells you how lucky you are in that scolding tone, I hope every member on that jury panel at LEAST slumped down in their seats because his disapproval was aimed at them too! They should be ASHAMED of themselves. And if that woman ever hurts anyone when she gets out, that's on THEIR shoulders!
She literally lied on the stand too, she told that she heard gun shots, but the police call from earlier clearly shows that she said that she didn't know what happened.
She ruined countless lives. The worst is the children, they'll grow up all screwed up because their mother killed their dad and they were lied to their whole lives. This is just sad!
They'll be screwed up growing up with parents who'd raise a child like that. Parents that probably will tell the kids lies to make them not judge their mother as she deserves.
she only had those children to get something from the men she used, may that be money or a stable home. she is a disgusting person and for sure a horrible mother@@BarnzTT
Absolutely the children should be legally handed to the state. Now that brings about various other possible complications of foster care. But until the verdict is the 'best' option. After the conviction then possibly the non guilty side of the family has first choice to foster care the children.
She cheated, had affairs and murdered her husband in cold blood, only to get 16 years in prison. This story makes me so mad smfh. She better not get that insurance money either.
Judge telling her not to feel bad that she will be out in her 40's and he thought his 40's were great. Ben is never coming back. his kids don't have him anymore and HER sister has them! Ben's brother has never seen them since! How is this justice?
That’s crazy, I have some of his Renick Ghost line snakes. I had no clue that this happened to him. He was a great breeder and this was a huge loss for the reptile industry.
@@hayleycakes3435 no I never met him, I just have a morph (genetic mutation like albinism or leucism) of a reticulated python called the Renick Ghost that he founded and got to spread in the reptile industry. Lots of people have that morph I just didn’t know that he had died like this.
I don’t understand why both weren’t charged with premeditated murder. This plot was planned out. Even one of her friends stated that she was thinking that.
I really feel bad for him. It seemed like he supported her until he could no more and all he wanted to do was snake stuff. Some men don’t get acknowledged for trying until they can’t no more
Honestly the fact she’s allowed to transfer custody like that. Shouldn’t have been her say, or her family’s whatsoever. Can’t imagine how the authorities don’t see this. But what on Earth do you gain from holding onto his remains? That’s just brutal
Of course it should be her say. She is the only surviving parent. It might have been an unreasonable decision but it should not have been anyone elses say in what happens to her children.
Male perpetrators of domestic violence get away with that kind of thing as well however none of those kind of cases get reported in the news unless it is a sensational case involving the death of a child which is beyond doubt as to how it was caused by violence. Since I was not on the investigative team myself too I am only left wondering why the investigators in this case long after they say it got solved are going on and on about it.
Imagine the gall, to insinuate Sam had NO RIGHT, to want half the family assests, she MURDERED his brother and then, tried to pin it on the poor, griefstricken guy. I could never forgive such an evil (insert derogatory word of choice, here). I'm so sorry for his loved ones... Ben sounds like a wonderful soul. She didn't realize how, truly lucky she was.
So he had a 1 million dollar life insurance. Made a 1.2 million in a sale deal. Had a huge farm and a huge inventory of animals. She took advantage of that and had money signs in her eyes and nothing would stop her. She is a sick person. I hope the family heals and keeps the business going in his honor 💔💕
His surviving brother had no involvement or interest in the snake business. In fact Ben was in process of selling off a lot of the snakes at the time of his death. Largely due to Lynlee constantly comparing about the time he spent on the business and that sometimes she had to help. Obviously she was not a team player and wanted all the money for herself including a 1 million dollar life insurance policy. A divorce settlement wasn’t good enough. Thus the murder. It’s sad for brother Ben that she also managed to sell the family farm, originally owned by their parents, as well as getting 100% control of the kids and Ben’s ashes! I have never heard of the murderer getting rights to ashes of their victim! Shameful on Missouri!
Oh my God!! How unfair!! I am so sorry for the Renick family's loss. My thoughts and my prayers are with them. Rest in peace in the arms of the Lord, Ben.
They found her guilty; the judge decides the sentence based on the circumstances of the case. There were no circumstances to justify giving her the minimum sentence though; she was a calculating witch and it was a pre-meditated attack; its not like she killed him in a fit of rage. Money is usually a life sentence level motive. EDIT: How did I miss 2nd degree?? Lol YES the jury ffed up royally, should have been 1st. It was probably because they couldnt determine who pulled the trigger.
there’s been a 3 time felon that got life in prison for stealing a package of baloney and she only gets basically a slap on the wrist for actually killing someone… our “justice system” is sooo completely phucked up and evil.
This case is so sad and the fact that her family is enabling and manipulating the children?!? Omg. She set him up and killed , tried to say it was a snake and almost got an innocent animal killed , and only gets 16 years?? Side note: whoever the writers are deserve a raise cause that lines “it’s interesting how this case started in a snake facility. the only real snake in this case in the one who wanted her husband dead” 💀 pay raise immediately
What this video fails to go into, is the fact that she had previously tried to poison him with a smoothie laced with pain pills. He only got sick however. Her ex friend and ex employee Ashley testified about this in the trial
Thank you. This story was brilliantly and very professionally put together. I'm completely impressed!! Can't believe the judge gave her a slap on the wrist. But in the end I do believe that she will reap what she sowed. Love from South Africa ❤❤
It wasn’t the judge at fault here it was the jury! They convicted her of second degree not first degree murder so the judge was limited by the laws governing sentencing. The judge even expressed disgust at the verdict and said “you got lucky” to her at sentencing. I watched the entire trial and many interviews with people involved. She was guilty! She had numerous affairs during their short marriage and used Ben for money to open a spa. She quickly ran it into the ground and needed more money. A divorce settlement wasn’t enough for her, she wanted the 1 million in life insurance money. Plus she sold the family farm and his burgeoning snake business before her conviction so she made our like a bandit despite not getting that life insurance (I assume because she was convicted that the company did not pay out to her but it likely went to the kids (one biological, the other she had with another man but Ben raised as his own). Now her family has custody of the kids til she gets out, therefor she in essence does have control of all the money because those kids are so young 😞. I feel very sorry for Ben’s brother, he was cheated out of everything including his brother’s ashes!!
It’s insane that laws have become so lenient with murderers. Like I understand that we are trying to protect human rights and all but these light sentences only encourage more murdering to happen. A convicted murdered must get life in prison for taking someone’s life, it’s only fair that way. Like image taking someone’s life and only getting 16 years in prison with parole. That’s freaking insane she might not even finish her sentence in jail.
Only 16 years for murder! That's insane! He was a good man. Ben was a well respected reptile breeder. But that's not the only reason she should have gotten life. She took a life!
and why the guy would have gotten life without parole. she planned it all, organised it, pulled the trigger, lied to law enforcement, sent several fake texts for alibi, wtf

Thanks jesse weber, who has the same name as my brother, that cheesy line at the end of it was almost as good as the entire story 😂😂 great reporting thanks 🙏
She had 1.2 million from the contract of her husband selling the snakes…plus she probably sold the farm for a few million….money has proven time and time again to get people off from crimes. Sad but true
In her defense, you can't hold women to the same standards as you do men. If the criminal justice systems of every single nation on earth have decided this to be so, go argue with them.
God I feel for that man. His words were so unbelievably sincere and so gutwrenching- to have to go through all he's been through and to be so articulate in everything that has happened to him and everyone around him including his brother was just amazing imo. Praying for him, those children, and all the people affected by this truly heinous betrayal that has sadly & selfishly rewritten so many peoples' stories.
Wow, what a slap in the face 😮. 16 freaking years. Ha! I think the judicial system has lost its ever loving mind somethines. And she won't even serve the entire 16yr bid. I feel so bad for this man 😢
It's nuts, if there's a chance, keep them in prison for the rest of their life. They give you more time for non violent crimes. This was first degree premeditated murder, and she tried to pin it on her husband's brother.
Jury trial. Jury verdict. The judge thought she deserved a lot more time and probably gave maximum time. But it was based on the jury saying 2nd degree which means less time. Thats why judge called her lucky. He was mad at the jury for letting her off so easy
The poor family just awful thank goodness that judge said something like I know it doesn’t change the sentence. Ben did not get justice and neither did his family.
I remember this story. This was crazy how she planned to do this to her beautiful life partner/children’s father. She will never meet anyone that special again! He is dead now-so we can’t even meet this beautiful man if we wanted to. His children will never get to grow old with they’re awesome Dad! I hope she never gets out! This was cold -blooded
IMO the tears worked on top of that too. Obviously an "actress" who snared other men with those assets. How does that hymn go? "I dare not trust the sweetest frame".
As a man, I’m absolutely sick of this. I watch tons of these crime shows, and when a woman kills her husband or has them killed, it’s always the same. Get in court with a pantsuit or conservative dress, hair tied back in a ponytail or some other simple style and get a light sentence. You already killed him physically, then proceeded to destroy his character by claiming he was abusive even though there’s absolutely no evidence to support it. Men’s lives are as disposable as an old magazine.
This is evil justice. Laws needs ri change when their is beyond reasonable doubt the defender committed crime it is automatic life sentences or at least 40 to 50 years. It shouldn’t be up to how jury liked her. She absolutely murdered him what cruel women. Best part is kids would grow up and knows what she did. And she won’t touch money or wealth
The snake girl (literally a snake) slithered her way into the hearts of the jurors, and punctured their arteries, and filled them with her poison, but I don’t understand why didn’t all the jury drop dead? I guess because they already are in there, mind and soul
this is beyond crazy, 30 years ago i was sentanced to 20 years in prison, and i got out in 2013 1 year early, this is outrageous me someone with marjiuanna got more years than a cold blooded killer, i have thankfully turned my life around and now own a used car dealership in Oklahoma but this is outrageous!
Poor innocent anaconda nearly murdered for no reason 😳 Lucky he didn’t come say hi to the investigators. Mind you, keeping any animal shut up in a tiny box like that is cruel. But his wife should have gotten life in prison & custody of the children should have at least been shared with her husband’s family 😢
I just kept thinking why are they looking for an anaconda when they think he died of a snake bite. Sure an anaconda bite will hurt, but they they kill by constricting their pray, cause they aren't venomous.
It's insane to think you could be murdered, and that your ashes & children go to the family of the person who murdered you 😢 that is so sad 😢
He was too young to have considered a living will. If he had, he could have had legal protection from someone else deciding what would happen after his death. Otherwise it falls to next of kin, which is usually the spouse. This whole thing is screwed up.
What's insane to me is she got 16 yrs...who know how many she'll actually serve...and she'll be out in her 40s! I can't wrap my head around that!

If what I read in the comments is true, she is not even the biological mother of these children.
How is her family allowed to lie and isolate the children if she was found guilty? Some laws and rulings are crap.
Custody of the children was transferred to the sister before the trial.

and why the guy would have gotten life without parole. she planned it all, organised it, pulled the trigger, lied to law enforcement, sent several fake texts for alibi, wtf
2nd degree murder + vagina
shes a woman. the data is clear that women get off easy when compared to men committing the same crime.
u know why
That jury were so easily swayed, holy cow.
They all need to be accountable
I hope the children are able to be in contact with bens family, it’s all they have left of him 😢
ben's family as in his brother sam? is there anyone else left?
While watching this video, I was thinking about how colorful and dangerous a snake she is.
Be careful guys who do you share your life with
R.I.P
Adultery needs to be taken far more seriously in our society than it is.
I agree
I don't get it. If you're married and wanna commit adultery don't get married. There's gotta be some point to marriage...
@@sisi5444They are called cake eaters. They want the nice guy providers and have fun with the bad boys.
@@BarnzTT Because they know that they can't have stability and support with a bad boy, especially being bad girls themselves. The bad boys and bad girls of the world want to siphon off of decent people for survival because they know they're unsustainable trash.

That's some bs. People ALWAYS get what's coming to them regardless if it's behind bars or not!
Exactly. They have to meet their maker.
Thanks jesse weber, who has the same name as my brother, that cheesy line at the end of it was almost as good as the entire story 😂😂 great reporting thanks 🙏
What a nightmare. So tragic and unfair. Very sad
Can’t believe she tried putting it on the brother. Scum. Scum. Scum. Wow. Those poor children.
How has it been 6 years and I'm just now hearing about this?!
Her defense is flawed just by the interrogations and 911 call. She tried to cover it up and wants to be considered innocent? Unreal. Pure evil.
Premeditated murder and she only got 14 years, and the husband got forever.
She had 1.2 million from the contract of her husband selling the snakes…plus she probably sold the farm for a few million….money has proven time and time again to get people off from crimes. Sad but true
Yep it should be an eye for an eye.
Women get away with murder, literally
In her defense, you can't hold women to the same standards as you do men.
If the criminal justice systems of every single nation on earth have decided this to be so, go argue with them.
Women privilege
Disgusting country
God I feel for that man. His words were so unbelievably sincere and so gutwrenching- to have to go through all he's been through and to be so articulate in everything that has happened to him and everyone around him including his brother was just amazing imo. Praying for him, those children, and all the people affected by this truly heinous betrayal that has sadly & selfishly rewritten so many peoples' stories.
Wow, what a slap in the face 😮. 16 freaking years. Ha! I think the judicial system has lost its ever loving mind somethines. And she won't even serve the entire 16yr bid. I feel so bad for this man 😢
Why such a light sentence🤯
Because im alive 😂
@@Benrenick-ss8tl what's the reference?
@@inappropriate_comments im not dead
It's called a vajayjay
"Turns out the only snake in this affair was the wife ..." No, I'm pretty sure the snakes were also snakes 😂
The judge HOPES she doesn’t kill again? Wtf? Shame on the justice system as justice was not served.
It's nuts, if there's a chance, keep them in prison for the rest of their life. They give you more time for non violent crimes. This was first degree premeditated murder, and she tried to pin it on her husband's brother.
Jury trial. Jury verdict. The judge thought she deserved a lot more time and probably gave maximum time. But it was based on the jury saying 2nd degree which means less time. Thats why judge called her lucky. He was mad at the jury for letting her off so easy
Poor guy. He was too go for her. Why are some people so evil??💔
That's just the way most women are. About 99%.
Snakes: "we are snakes"
Lynlee: "yes, me also"
The poor family just awful thank goodness that judge said something like I know it doesn’t change the sentence. Ben did not get justice and neither did his family.
I remember this story. This was crazy how she planned to do this to her beautiful life partner/children’s father. She will never meet anyone that special again! He is dead now-so we can’t even meet this beautiful man if we wanted to. His children will never get to grow old with they’re awesome Dad! I hope she never gets out! This was cold -blooded
So all see got was 14 years!!WOW!!
He loved snakes so much, that he decided to marry one.
Just two years of prison for each bullet that they fired into him in cold blood. That's not justice.
wow what a P.O.S judge and jury
people like them deserve nothing but pain and suffering
No. But the wife does.
Did you not hear what the judge said?
The judge was so mad that he could only sentence her to so many years knowing she deserved more.
@@Rukas1doaI don’t think a lot of people really paid attention to what the judge actually said.
yeh obviously you didn't
That last comment about the deadliest snake of all is out of control😂
How Jesse said that last line with a straight face, I'll never know.
Oh those kids will grow up and find out the TRUTH !!! THIS IS SO WRONG! 😢 My condolences go his family!
Ben changed the reptile world, and he is still so missed 🖤.
The judges statement afterwards was pretty wild
The jury fell for her "angelic" looks and demeanor... her only asset seemed to work this time too. Tragically sad !
IMO the tears worked on top of that too. Obviously an "actress" who snared other men with those assets. How does that hymn go? "I dare not trust the sweetest frame".
She was the most dangerous snake 🐍 on that property
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if it wasn't the snake, it was the girlfriend! It wasn't a ghost! 😂 1:34
That’s it? 16 years for taking someone’s life?
Lynlee, how that business coming along? Billion dollar company yet? 🙃 probably should drop the last name cause you killed him
Walls of snakes crammed into plastic shoe boxes. WTF?! I feel sorry for all those poor snakes. Like a puppy mill🤮. Tons of puppies in cages.😡
Thank you! That was my first thought!
She tried to frame her ex lmao
At least she won't get the insurance $$$$$😮😮😮
How it goes cold 🥶 when he said he heard shots, she handed him a gun but he pushed it back WTF 🤬 that’s. Crazy
It's very weird that the brother said yes when asked by the 911 operator if he could have been shot.
it is
The blood could have been an indication.
He obviously knew from looking at the body that it wasn't a snake bite.
I love your selections. 6 movies Watched in 3 days
The scariest creatures are truly humans
Yes you may be right.
As a man, I’m absolutely sick of this. I watch tons of these crime shows, and when a woman kills her husband or has them killed, it’s always the same. Get in court with a pantsuit or conservative dress, hair tied back in a ponytail or some other simple style and get a light sentence. You already killed him physically, then proceeded to destroy his character by claiming he was abusive even though there’s absolutely no evidence to support it. Men’s lives are as disposable as an old magazine.
This is evil justice. Laws needs ri change when their is beyond reasonable doubt the defender committed crime it is automatic life sentences or at least 40 to 50 years. It shouldn’t be up to how jury liked her. She absolutely murdered him what cruel women. Best part is kids would grow up and knows what she did. And she won’t touch money or wealth
The keeping the kids away part is so frustrating. What's best for kids is ALL the love possible.
The snake girl (literally a snake) slithered her way into the hearts of the jurors, and punctured their arteries, and filled them with her poison, but I don’t understand why didn’t all the jury drop dead? I guess because they already are in there, mind and soul
That is soooo cruel, snakes DONT belong in containers!!!! 😢
Wow the guy had everything going for him and he had a great business , she took everything away from him cause of her selfish needs
16 years?! That’s ridiculous
Do not give custody to the killers family wtf! Give the children to victims family! Give her life in prison!
The justice was a joke on the victims
this is beyond crazy, 30 years ago i was sentanced to 20 years in prison, and i got out in 2013 1 year early, this is outrageous me someone with marjiuanna got more years than a cold blooded killer, i have thankfully turned my life around and now own a used car dealership in Oklahoma but this is outrageous!
The fact she isn’t crying or freaking out tells it all 6:00
Poor innocent anaconda nearly murdered for no reason 😳 Lucky he didn’t come say hi to the investigators. Mind you, keeping any animal shut up in a tiny box like that is cruel. But his wife should have gotten life in prison & custody of the children should have at least been shared with her husband’s family 😢
I just kept thinking why are they looking for an anaconda when they think he died of a snake bite. Sure an anaconda bite will hurt, but they they kill by constricting their pray, cause they aren't venomous.
That Oscar performance she gave the police after the 911 call. 🤣
