Watch Live: Dead in a Ditch Murder Trial - IA v. Ivan “Sam” Brammer - Day Three

Ivan “Sam” Brammer, 62, is accused of murdering his former girlfriend, Ilene Gowan, 60 and leaving her to die in a frozen ditch. Brammer was originally charged with abuse of a corpse and second-degree theft in May for the February 2023 crime, but after further investigation, Iowa investigators arrested him for second-degree murder in August. Investigators believe Brammer and Gowan had a toxic, alcohol-infused relationship. A forensic pathologist said Gowan was strangled to death.

This will be the quickest verdict in history.

[@dianawright8334]

The Defense attorney’s interaction with the defendant is slimy, their laughing on the first day was gross.

[@traveltm]

The sighs and heavy breathing of older defense lawyer is a bit gross.

[@melissa74066]

Omg the defense lawyer is gonna either have a stroke or a heart attack. I think he needs to retire and get some rest

[@drcarlsberg3658]

And, the Defendant’s lawyer needs to stop smoking cigarettes!

[@dorishenderson2979]

Where did they drag up the old defence lawyer? He flicks through papers and then stutters out a question.

[@Lori_in_CT]

What happened to day two? I see day one and this one. Although for the questioning time of the witnesses it really doesn’t matter.

[@drcarlsberg3658]

Quaker Oats guy is going to prison!

[@mrtrik71]

The defendant and that lawyer have skeletons in the closet for sure.

[@Pinklady12]

Sorry Sam not sure if you are guilty but with a lawyer like this one you are going down

[@Pinklady12]

This defense attorney is horrible

[@zanpsimer7685]

That cop in pursuit yells at people like I do when driving

[@User34532]

Why is the judge pushing to have a MURDER trial wrapped up in 3.5 days?!

[@blackberries1437]

Day 2 isn’t in playlist unless it is the hidden one.

[@cyndilagasse991]

so the body was found at the area he eventually said they went to have a little fun?

[@l.g.4075]

I can’t find day two -

[@cristieknudsen5059]

Were the defense attorneys public defenders?

[@traveltm]

You know have no real defense when OBSESSED about may be some report that wasn’t done

[@heather1387]

Where is day 2 video?
