They got separate trials and that alone can easily account for why the sentences were different. They were both convicted of second-degree murder of Martha Crutchley. Benjamin was actually acquitted of all charges in Joshua Ford's death. Erika was convicted of first-degree murder of Joshua.
When I was younger I came across a rich older couple that my friends and I partied with a few times . They ended up inviting us over to party one evening and provided a bunch of alcohol and drugs and proceeded to get really intoxicated themselves . As the night went on the woman started claiming that my friend groped her . He wasn't that drunk and even if he were he wasn't the type to do that so we all knew that something strange was happening . Her boyfriend started getting all angry and worked up like he was going to kill this kid . Eventually things all calmed down and the two psychos retired to their room for a drug induced , adrenaline fueled shagfest . We took off immediately and never looked back . That was what got this pair off and I would guess they did this scenario regularly . I could see them murdering when the thrill of scaring the shit out kids wore off .
The definition of a serial killer is three or more victims, but you are wrong regarding it being in a months time span. There are no time spans when it regards people who are serial killers. There are at least up to 70 active serial killers in the US currently, and who knows how long they have been committing their crimes. Even the FBI has no clue until or unless they are caught and the investigation brings forth any information as to how many did this person take out, and when they first started till their last victim. And a lot of the time, we still don't know their numbers of victims as we are discovering more evidence from the likes of Ted Bundy having more victims than we know as well as Gary Ridgeway. It is speculated that they have more victims that just weren't discovered or been connected. But perhaps with the never ending evolvement of forensics, more victims can be tied to a perp, and some type of closure.
Nice first sentence. I was Army Infantry and was pretty close to going Delta. I didn't respond to the selection email but I would have definitely made it.
In the words of comedian Chris Rock, 'Can't people be crazy no more?' Ocean City MD is a vacation spot. So it would appear that they selected that location b/c of the transient nature of the visitors. I do not think the murders qualify as serial killing---possibly spree killing. Regardless of how the crimes are parsed, clearly both were motivated to hunt for prey to get a thrill.
Was probably worse since they met, but his fellow soldiers also said he was mentally unfit before he even left the SEALS. So he was already crazy, but maybe wouldnt have murdered anyone if the two hadnt met?
@@Ronkushman420 Yep. A lot of them would be in prison if it weren’t for the Special Operations community. These cats get a thrill from jumping out of planes and getting shot it. But who can blame em, it is pretty cool lmao.
This story was a nasty one for me coming from Fairfax, Virginia! That dismembered couple were from my neighborhood! Heartbroken not the first nor last, but beside the point! I agree with you guys; he was drawn to her and she too was drawn to him! A two way street! They both are sick! In different ways yet are attracted to each others negativity !!
Sorry to hear that from NC, they seemed like great ppl from how the video described them. Definitely didn’t deserve such a terrible death. Yes a toxic couple in the absolute worst way possible, feeding off each other to the point of cold blooded murder. Rot in prison. Wish there was a way to bring your neighbors back they didn’t deserve that
Thats a shared delusion, not shared psychosis. I was thinking the same thing at first, but double checked. Folie a deux is more like paranoia or hallucinations, etc.
@@sasquatch7234 I understand your point, but I think intelligence + restraint, and having something inside of you that likes killing, are separate things. I've also heard they are more lenient with SEALs on things like bar fights than they are with other soldiers, for the same reason. They want to stoke that violent flame. I'll go ahead and admit I could be completely wrong. It's just something I heard. I really have no way of knowing.

There is no one true definition of Serial Killer. From a publication by the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI: "There has been at least one attempt to formalize a definition of serial murder through legislation. In 1998, a federal law was passed by the United States Congress, titled: Protection of Children from Sexual Predator Act of 1998 (Title 18, United States Code, Chapter 51, and Section 1111). This law includes a definition of serial killings: The term ‘serial killings’ means a series of three or more killings, not less than one of which was committed within the United States, having common characteristics such as to suggest the reasonable possibility that the crimes were committed by the same actor or actors. Although the federal law provides a definition of serial murder, it is limited in its application. The purpose of this definition was to set forth criteria establishing when the FBI could assist local law enforcement agencies with their investigation of serial murder cases. It was not intended to be a generic definition for serial murder."
I speak for a lot of people when I say that your reactions to the creepy/weird/spooky stuff are some of the BEST
THEY NEED TO DO MORE !!!
From Key and Peele to navy seal serial killers. I'm covering two ends of the reaction spectrum. Keeps me interested that's for sure.
wish they did more

The legal definition of serial killer is 3 or more murders, over a period of one month, an significant amount of time between any other murders.

Of course you did.lol😂
This seems like it would make a good movie or TV mini series
My dad had to testify at their trial. He was the bus driver.
In Hollywood movies they always look scary but in really life they always look normal,that's the scary thing to me!
Nice first sentence. I was Army Infantry and was pretty close to going Delta. I didn't respond to the selection email but I would have definitely made it.
serial killers are people who kill more than 3 but not all at the same time, days or sometimes years between. motive is usually considered
thats a really good chanel, his audio work is very good aswell
There is a podcast called cleared hot where the host Andy stumped went to buds training with Ben siftet and talks about it
who opens up a scrapbook store...hrm, those who want to do some "laundry"😉
He got a sentence of 38 years in 2003, but has a mandatory release date in 2030? That math doesn’t add up.

I was friends with a few Navy Seals.... they're all crazy.
bro they got married weeks into their relationship. thats insane
They were likely constantly high on coke and other drugs. That combined with new relationship lust is recipe for disaster.
The Starkweather murders followed a similar path.
she got more time than him. I wonder why? She got life + 20 yrs. Meaning she'll never get out. But he gets released in 2030!.
Because she was the driving force behind everything that happened. He was just a poor lovesick (and already a little crazy) dude along for the ride.
Please react to Conan’s Japanese Etiquette video

They were already together then. She was already working her crazy voodoo on him. She's the reason he became mentally unfit and got discharged.
