This is a good example of why learning about critical thinking is so important. If you are in a legitimate gang, who are capable of murdering a family of someone, why would they need YOU to commit any crimes? Why wouldn't they just do it themselves?
My two oldest nephews were in a gang. Neither of them lived to see 26. One got so into drugs and drinking he crashed his motorcycle going 105mph. A year and a half later his older brother who was on heroin and meth for years got caught stealing from his life long friend and was found the next day on the side of the road. They said he had been hit by a car but I'm pretty sure the guy killed him. Either way gangs are a joke
Nicholas- Great comment! Unfortunately, I'm sure at least 1//2 of the ppl living in America no longer have a clue what critical thinking skills are, let alone use them! It's simply not taught in most schools/uni's anymore. It's all about doing/following what you're told. Sad, REALLY 😢
@@kathleenrobertpogue6818 I think it would be harder to listen to someone who was hiding from the murder because of the stress tension created from knowing that any min they could be found. It would be difficult, in the moment, to hear or know exactly what's going on when someone is screaming into the phone, it would be worse later only after processing in hindsight.
He was mentally ill, a drug addict, gullible, scared and not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. No way was he ever going to the police willingly. Johnny was an idiot, but he knew exactly who to pick for his sick scheme.
He's in prison. But, if he didn't do what he did, he'd be dead. "There's no honor among thieves". Gangbangers, Cartel, etc....have no 'friends'. They have people in their lives for a purpose. Once someone serves no purpose, they have no worth. If someone creates a potential problem, the problem will be eliminated....from all angles: related women and children are not exempt. It's awful and absolutely despicable. But, life is a wild animal and every corner of the world is wildly different.
Be grateful Mentally ill people don't have that capacity to understand He was manipulated and played had he been sane hopefully he would have gone right to the police 🚔 sadly he wasn't
@C_Tizzle No, he wouldn't be. Johnny wasn't in a gang and was never going to get his own hands dirty. Jacob and his wete never in any danger, he was just too stupid, mentally ill and gullible to realize it though.
Can't believe how cold both they are. And Johnny's mother is disgusting. I hope she has no access to the baby. She would be why he ended up as he is. She's never believed her baby could do wrong. Thanks, Mike. I hope those left in the Kramer family are doing well.
I suppose she was taking care of the baby while he was at the casino all night forming his alibi too. That’s how much he REALLY cared about having custody. All for spite. She did a great job on him (not!!!). She doesn’t deserve a second chance in raising another vile being. I hope she never talks to or gets any visitation rights with the child.
I am mortified e someone could orchestrate such a disgusting act in order to gain custody of a child. Imagine what kind of father he would have been with a mother coddling him and not having to deal with the mother of his child? I am so grateful that Angela survived so she could be with her child. But I cannot imagine her greif after losing her parents and brother this way.
What ? She doesn’t say embarrassed nor imply or infer anything to do with embarrassment.. My ex lied to police and they removed me from the house two weeks after I told him to leave and then he abandoned his three stepchildren ( my three children) yet takes our 11 mth old breastfeeding baby boy. He manipulated the police and then the hospital and fled interstate. He’s Egyptian and he’s the first and only son and he’s sister has 6 daughters so I was literally used as a child bearer and then he wanted to move in with his parents and raise our son . Which is very custom in Egypt. Recently he’s made more false accusations against me and I’ve not seen my son for 6 months only allowed FaceTime weekly with my now 8 year old . His lawyer offered me supervised visits in a visit centre and I would have to drive 2.5 hrs and pay $70 .. but I’m not a criminal so I’m waiting for the judge to give me custody . The father has alienated myself and my entire family and my father passed away without ever meeting him… why use a child against someone else????

@@river9994 Agree. It's terrifying when you have a family member who does something horrific like this and you would never even have considered committing murder. They have probably blamed themselves a thousand times for this happening.
Look at it from his family's pov. They could have been exposed to basically nothing except court testimony and maybe the recorded threats in jail. In his family's eyes, he's just their grand/son/nephew who got accused of a murder with an alibi and threatened the man whose words had put him there.

Helloooo Mike...I'm usually watching your Friday post while having treatment in Oncology. My appointment changed to Today so I still get my dosage of your awesomeness while sitting for 3+ hours at Oncology. Take care everyone because Mike luvs us😉
“Straight outta the gulag this guy.” I spit my coffee out. Thanks, Mike!!! 😂 Needed that laugh. It never fails to impress me how you can add respectful humour to these horrific incidents.
I grew up in Darien and I went to high school with the Kramer kids. This really was crazy and still is insane to think I lived right up the road from where this happened.
“It’s becoming redundant, but no” He might be sassy, but at least he was honest in court, unlike that weasel Johnny. Not that this makes the case any less haunting, Angela lost her family because her ex is spiteful and hateful. Edit: typo
Thank youuu… I am half way in and been sooo confused so I’ve been reading comments and you are the first comment to make this story make some sense in my mind, so much going on, I can’t focus !
I probably would have felt the same way since he had already confessed to doing the deed and had received a life sentence. That clip was the other guys trial and his lawyer trying to get his client off. Notice Johhny was still in civilian clothes and sitting at the defense table.
@@pakde8002I think someone else wrote he got 75 so hypothetically he could be out when he’s like 60 with good behaviour but the ex got life. I imagine some sort of deal was worked out for him snitching on him. Which I mean, why wouldn’t you? He threatened your family and it turned out he was nothing but a loser who wanted to kill his ex girlfriend’s family and wanted to pin it on someone else.
I noticed the shooter had a different attitude when he was testifying than when he was being interviewed by police! Way more jaded and casual about the murders. He didn't seem remorseful at all by that point. Really sad...
I think that having spent 3 years in prison before the trial, having declared EVERYTHING since day 1, plus his mental ISSUES had a lot to do with that "attitude"... Too bad for him, since that probably was the reason why he got that sentence. I still feel sorry for him, since he needed mental health treatment, not only being sent to prison: if it hadn't been for him, who knows how much longer it would have taken the police to solve the case... I know not many would agree with me, but it's just my personal opinion, and it won't change the outcone...
Mike, I've been with you since the very beginning of the pandemic. I am so happy for how you've expanded your landscape of telling these stories with respect, grace, humor for the bad guys as well as disgust, and delicacy for the victims. I tune in to every one of your videos, as does everyone else who have faithfully and affectionately follow you. Many good wishes for continued success and hopefully profit for your hard work.
This case is one of those examples to remind us all never to underestimate a stupid person. They can be extremely dangerous precisely because of how foolish and gullible they are.
You’re amazing how you gather all this content and put it together! I’ve never even heard of this case, you enlighten us to true deep heinous acts in this world. It’s so sad when someone else brings danger to their family. Not saying it’s the daughter’s fault but when you involve yourself with deeply troubled people, you bring it to those around you too and many times they are the ones to suffer. I know this from experience. Be very cautious who you invite into you and your family’s life and be careful who you chose to have kids with.
I worked with a guy, his mom and sister were both killed by an angry ex of the sister. He came in from work, and found them both dead. He was never the same, as never would anyone be the same, who suffered such trauma. We coddle murderers. When death is the only remedy for such evil.
Anyone who thinks they "have no choice" but to commit multiple murders clearly made some idiotic choices to get themselves to that point. As far as punishment goes death is too quick and prison is too soft.
@@DinoCismcan't remember which place it was but they have a choice of firing squad or lethal injection. Firing squad should just been the only choice.
Mike, have you heard of Farkhunda Malikzada? Her story is particularly brutal, but it's never had proper coverage. She deserves justice and was never given any.
5 peoples lives either taken or completely ruined because some guy was rejected and didn't get his way. Thank God not everyone thinks killing people is the answer to their relationship problems!
I'm so glad those two will stay in prison where they belong. How coldblooded. First time I'm hearing this murder case. Thanks for bringing out this horrendous case, Mike. 👍👍
Totally agree!: he had a big load with his mental issues, got manipulated AND THREATENED, but mainly it was because of him and his openness with the police that the case got resolved quickly. That should also had been taken into consideration at the time of his sentencing!
@@carcevicubo3703 ya he was an enormously cowardly human being and that made him as malleable to police as his idiot friend. Go slaughter an innocent family Jake, or the boogie man will get you.
It was defensiveness that looked like smugness. The defense attorney was childishly making him admit to everything he had already admitted to, action-by-action. It WAS redundant and he had a pretty smug tone himself.
Yep. I was rooting for possible parole down the line, but he wanted to be all gangsta on the stand. Then I thought, "f*ck him! Give him life without." And they did.
I think he was annoyed as he had already admitted it all, but defence attorney was making it sound like it was all HIS idea and he didn't want his "friend " Johnny to get off
I seriously still cannot understand how someone could harm their own kid’s mother. The fact that he wanted her whole family dead shows the hatred he had for her and I am glad she is still alive and that he is not winning that custody case ever!
@@ThatChapterI was about to say this too Mike...you bless us twice a week, and a podcast... my weeks are just great, I know what and whom I am watching everyday of the week ❤
Yessssss! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a notification come through from Mike when I’m scrolling through & looking for something to watch on this rainy afternoon 😊 Let’s give it a Goo!!! ❤
I’m catching up on your last few videos I’ve missed and I love that you bring us cases that are not so mainstream and being done by anyone else! I watch a lot of true crime so when I see new cases that’s saying something! Not to mention, you’re absolutely brilliant in your delivery! We all love you too! ❤
How truly sad for all involved. I grew up in that area and when you said where this happened, i knew it had to be more than just a break in. This kind of thing never happened there. Its a very safe place. Glad justice was done. RIP to the parents and son ❤❤❤.
Excellent video! Hate drives people to do such egregious crimes, such as in this case. I'm glad they're where they absolutely deserve to be, away from society forever. Until Friday, have a good week you fine, fine group!!
You think thats impressive, go look at a twitch girl sitting in a kiddie pool in the living room. If likes and views are a representation of a persons awesomeness. Then any half naked girl on the internet is far better.
The main plot of this Crime by lies and intimidation was recorded in the 1930's on 'Calling All Cars' from an actual case, (L.A.) and then was retold on Dragnet in the 50's. Almost 100 yrs ago the conspirator and shooter were both Convicted. Crime doesn't change just the times.
He was up with the cartel leaders, They don't get their hands dirty. In truth they were both immature idiots who let the crack pipe take over their tiny little brains.
HELLO MIKE! HELLO EVERYONE ❤ if no one has told you You are special you are LOVED EDIT - I wasn't saying it to Mike I was saying it to anyone who may NEVER hear it like the 4 kids I keep on the weekends
@@antjoberttrue and sickeningly the very same kid he actually had overnight care of at the time of the murders but chose to leave in somebody else's care (presumably his disgusting and delusional mother's -she's made me mad, can you tell? lol) to go set himself up with an on camera alibi.
Yeah, but this happens to baby mamas over 3x a day in the US… possibly more, but that’s the average by the ones who are convicted. There’s just a shite ton of stupid out there.
Jacob on the stand was extremely ignorant. He acted bored and annoyed. IMO, not a good way to sway a jury in your favor. I know he was guilty but acting like this case annoys you will probably make a jury be extremely harsh on your sentence. RIP to the Kramers and prayers to their family. Thanks Mike.
Johnny clearly was such a devoted father that he arranged for his son’s mother and her whole family to be killed while out at a casino making an alibi while his infant son was at his home being looked after by someone else (probably J’s delusional mother). Another example of a whacko angry person who wants custody in order to punish an ex *not* because he/she loves the child. Jacob’s attitude in court revealed a lot about his character, too; I’m sure he wasn’t too regretful about killing his ex-friend, Michael, or his parents. He wouldn’t have done it on his own, but I don’t think it was that hard to convince him to kill them. Glad they’re in jail and I hope they are there until they’re old men too sick and weak to hurt another person. I hope Angela and Anthony have been able to find some peace as they’ve gone on with life.
I agree. In court Jake sounded like a grown man who knew what to do. I don't think he did it because he was scared. I think he did it because he wanted to do it. Johnny probably promised him he could feed part of his gang
Love your videos so much! Been watching for a few years now(since 2021 I believe) and am absolutely hooked on your podcast episodes as well! Thanks mike for all the effort, hard work and amazing content you(and Keith on the podcast!) put out!
Hi Mike ! Thankyou once again for another brilliant episode from That Chapter ! this was a really terrible crime about manipulation When Borizv told Jake to murder his ex girlfirends parents and their young son ! all because of a custody battle ! a cruel and dispicable crime and Jake and John both received hefty sentences and thoroughly deserved for their actions ! Thanks Mike you deliverd an intriguing story and presented as always with true professionalism !!! I will def see you in the next ol' video Big Dog and stay safe and those around you too Love ya too Mike as do all your eager followers ! and as always " LET'S GIVE IT A GOO " !!!!! superb Mike just superb !!!!
This is such ridiculousness!!!! There’s never a good reason for murder but these murders were so senseless!!!! I’m so thank the entire thing was unraveled! My sympathy to the victims loved ones. Great work Mike , I’d never heard this case. Take care …. Because I love ya too !
i'd say protecting your family from this psychopath would have been a good reason myself... but hey, maybe just willingly dying or running away to let your family die by his hand would be better in your opinion... cool
Hi Mike, I've been watching some of your older videos, and I wanted to say, you are doing an incredible job! You have grown so much and your energy and personality shine through. Stay well.❤
I'm bad at remembering names but as soon as Mike starts describing a situation and I recognize it, that horrible feeling about the depravity cones flooding back
Thanks Mike...you've made listening to other story tellers absolute misery. Oh the absolute droning voices of other people's broadcasts. Thank you for your musical delivery and humour. Love you too kid!!
I'm from Chicago and in 2012 I had to go to the suburbs for work for a day. I was arrested for a possession. I ended up in the same cell block as Jake dupage county jail. The inmates I I chilled with talked about what a pussy he is and how he won't make it in prison. He gained like 100 pounds from the time of his arrest. He was Very timid. I remember stacks and stacks of magazines and commissary in his cell. One day he was on the phones crying to his grandmother like literally crying his version of events that he doesn't remember anything until the police were chasing him and how he was going to shoot himself when he got pulled over. He was a heroin addict and was given dope to kill everyone in that house so that the other guy could get custody. Idiots.
LMAO i been dope sick plenty of times dunno if id ever committ murder but i could see this dumbass believing this plan would work. tbh it almost did but he got paranoid and told on himself
Killed this one Mike! Great one just like everything else you've done! Been watching for years..... Like 5 years. Ive recently feel off for a year or two, but you got me back on this one!
I only keep up with the days of the week because of That Chapter ❤ just getting started on this one but it's already saved to my That Chapter playlist.
The “group” of (very few) “supporters” who were “protesting” sounded very less than enthusiastic. Whenever I see clips or read about parents, family or community members so deeply entrenched & so blinded by denial, it scares me… I absolutely know what it is to love & be dedicated to someone you love, but to be so blinded that you can’t see the truth is beyond
you know someone is guilty when they say to the Police " I dont care if you think I did it" Cause An innocent person would care an f load. Like a whole truck load of caring
@@joanodom2104 That's why I LOVE that Johnny's plan to kill Angela failed. Angela has full custody of their son and you know that makes Johnny and his mom MAD.
I’m just a few seconds in, but already you’re making me proud! I’ve lived in the United States my whole life and one of those states was Illinois. If you live in states around Illinois, like Ohio and Indiana… They actively and ignorantly pronounce the S, but you didn’t, Mike! Great job!
You may not see this but I would LOVE to see you cover the murder of Karissa Boudreau in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Canada. A mother planned to murder her daughter, laid out an alibi, drove her daughter to a remote location and strangled her while face to face with her while she begged for her life. There is many videos of the mother (murderer) on the news crying and pleading for her daughter to come home. I'm not from the area but moved here a few years ago and 15 years later people still talk about it because nothing so heinous has ever happened here in this town.
Wow! That takes a considerable amount of time & strength. I know this bc decades ago a guy convinced his new gf to knock off his ex & it took her several tries & different methods. Most bizarre story ever.
So many murdered over custody. It's insane. The poor children will grow knowing that. So sad

Helloooo Mike...I'm usually watching your Friday post while having treatment in Oncology. My appointment changed to Today so I still get my dosage of your awesomeness while sitting for 3+ hours at Oncology. Take care everyone because Mike luvs us😉
Best to you with your treatments!
how are you
He does love us ❤
“Straight outta the gulag this guy.” I spit my coffee out. Thanks, Mike!!! 😂 Needed that laugh. It never fails to impress me how you can add respectful humour to these horrific incidents.
I grew up in Darien and I went to high school with the Kramer kids. This really was crazy and still is insane to think I lived right up the road from where this happened.
“It’s becoming redundant, but no”
He might be sassy, but at least he was honest in court, unlike that weasel Johnny. Not that this makes the case any less haunting, Angela lost her family because her ex is spiteful and hateful.
Edit: typo
Sassy meets sassy. The lawyer was being a pri!ck but I know that's his job, lol.
@@audreymuzingo933 So true. But such a great rebuttal.
Thank youuu… I am half way in and been sooo confused so I’ve been reading comments and you are the first comment to make this story make some sense in my mind, so much going on, I can’t focus !
I probably would have felt the same way since he had already confessed to doing the deed and had received a life sentence. That clip was the other guys trial and his lawyer trying to get his client off. Notice Johhny was still in civilian clothes and sitting at the defense table.
@@pakde8002I think someone else wrote he got 75 so hypothetically he could be out when he’s like 60 with good behaviour but the ex got life. I imagine some sort of deal was worked out for him snitching on him. Which I mean, why wouldn’t you? He threatened your family and it turned out he was nothing but a loser who wanted to kill his ex girlfriend’s family and wanted to pin it on someone else.
I noticed the shooter had a different attitude when he was testifying than when he was being interviewed by police! Way more jaded and casual about the murders. He didn't seem remorseful at all by that point. Really sad...
Catching a 70 year term will take out some of your zest
No, he got life without. The one that manipulated the shooter got 70 years.
I think that having spent 3 years in prison before the trial, having declared EVERYTHING since day 1, plus his mental ISSUES had a lot to do with that "attitude"... Too bad for him, since that probably was the reason why he got that sentence. I still feel sorry for him, since he needed mental health treatment, not only being sent to prison: if it hadn't been for him, who knows how much longer it would have taken the police to solve the case... I know not many would agree with me, but it's just my personal opinion, and it won't change the outcone...
I agree with you, actually still feel bad for him, just pointing that out. Take care!
@@lorirausch3326 Thanks!, and You do the same! 👍👍👍
How many people were outside picketing to free Johnny? 12, 15? Leave him in prison forever!!!!
LoL yes he had 11 people picketing to ",free johnny" pathetic
Mike, I've been with you since the very beginning of the pandemic. I am so happy for how you've expanded your landscape of telling these stories with respect, grace, humor for the bad guys as well as disgust, and delicacy for the victims. I tune in to every one of your videos, as does everyone else who have faithfully and affectionately follow you. Many good wishes for continued success and hopefully profit for your hard work.
This case is one of those examples to remind us all never to underestimate a stupid person. They can be extremely dangerous precisely because of how foolish and gullible they are.
Especially when the stupid start over filling their crack pipe to the point that they believe they're not stupid.
Never underestimate a woman picking a sorry ass man
Underestimate a stupid person lol.....stupid people are so predictable....
@@jerryneely1993 did this episode bring back some memories??
Sounds like a grandpa I know in D.C....
Stellar as always, Mike. Thank you for all the work you've put in over the years, and your unwavering respect for the victims in cases like this.
It’s messed up that she’s trying to whisper and be super quiet in the closet while the loudest Fran Drescher is her 911 operator. Lol
I shouldn’t have laughed!
My ex convinced 3 people to help him with something similar in 2009. So many idiots out there. That poor family 😢
Do they really think they're going to get away with murder? 😮
As an ex-Jehovah’s Witness Jacob was perfect for Borisov’s plot. He’d been brainwashed and manipulated from birth.
@@corky3550 I think so and I don’t understand it
@@AveriesMiranda half a brain 🙄
@@emperorofpluto "bruised but not broken" as Manson learned . . .
You’re amazing how you gather all this content and put it together! I’ve never even heard of this case, you enlighten us to true deep heinous acts in this world. It’s so sad when someone else brings danger to their family. Not saying it’s the daughter’s fault but when you involve yourself with deeply troubled people, you bring it to those around you too and many times they are the ones to suffer. I know this from experience. Be very cautious who you invite into you and your family’s life and be careful who you chose to have kids with.
Totally agree!
Im glad the kid still has its mum.
I worked with a guy, his mom and sister were both killed by an angry ex of the sister. He came in from work, and found them both dead. He was never the same, as never would anyone be the same, who suffered such trauma. We coddle murderers. When death is the only remedy for such evil.
Anyone who thinks they "have no choice" but to commit multiple murders clearly made some idiotic choices to get themselves to that point. As far as punishment goes death is too quick and prison is too soft.
@@DinoCismcan't remember which place it was but they have a choice of firing squad or lethal injection. Firing squad should just been the only choice.
@@Kt-cn2rqIn Idaho
Tragic😭
Mike, have you heard of Farkhunda Malikzada? Her story is particularly brutal, but it's never had proper coverage. She deserves justice and was never given any.
5 peoples lives either taken or completely ruined because some guy was rejected and didn't get his way. Thank God not everyone thinks killing people is the answer to their relationship problems!
I'm so glad those two will stay in prison where they belong. How coldblooded. First time I'm hearing this murder case. Thanks for bringing out this horrendous case, Mike. 👍👍
Man, had a little sympathy for Jake being manipulated until the end when he was on the stand. The guy has nothing to be that smug about.
Totally agree!: he had a big load with his mental issues, got manipulated AND THREATENED, but mainly it was because of him and his openness with the police that the case got resolved quickly. That should also had been taken into consideration at the time of his sentencing!
@@carcevicubo3703 ya he was an enormously cowardly human being and that made him as malleable to police as his idiot friend. Go slaughter an innocent family Jake, or the boogie man will get you.
It was defensiveness that looked like smugness. The defense attorney was childishly making him admit to everything he had already admitted to, action-by-action. It WAS redundant and he had a pretty smug tone himself.
Yep. I was rooting for possible parole down the line, but he wanted to be all gangsta on the stand. Then I thought, "f*ck him! Give him life without." And they did.
I think he was annoyed as he had already admitted it all, but defence attorney was making it sound like it was all HIS idea and he didn't want his "friend " Johnny to get off
I seriously still cannot understand how someone could harm their own kid’s mother. The fact that he wanted her whole family dead shows the hatred he had for her and I am glad she is still alive and that he is not winning that custody case ever!
It was all about the control. The control he had lost over her.
It's refreshing you are taking a more serious tone. It's why I originally subscribed to you years ago.
It's a treat again
I’m so very sorry to Angela & her brother. 💙🩷
So damn sad for them.
Wow. That poor lad even after having physical and emotional turmoil from his family still killed to protect them. Johnny is a terror 😮
Tuesday can't come soon enough to watch another great episode from Mike, Let's give it a gooo everyone!!1
Thanks for being here, and see ya Friday!
@@ThatChapterI was about to say this too Mike...you bless us twice a week, and a podcast... my weeks are just great, I know what and whom I am watching everyday of the week ❤
@@reginamushi6582 thats enough butt kissing.
Totally agree. I remembered this morning, I get to watch a new That Chapter after work.
Your lucky, We have to wait till Wednesday in New Zealand 😅😮😅
Yessssss! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a notification come through from Mike when I’m scrolling through & looking for something to watch on this rainy afternoon 😊
Let’s give it a Goo!!! ❤
If he is indeed suffering from all those ailments, he can pass away in the comfort of his jail cell.
I’m catching up on your last few videos I’ve missed and I love that you bring us cases that are not so mainstream and being done by anyone else! I watch a lot of true crime so when I see new cases that’s saying something! Not to mention, you’re absolutely brilliant in your delivery! We all love you too! ❤
At the time 22:24, Mike says "I'm not convinced he has a heart." That was an amazing line!
Absolutely!
When the ex died in the motorcycle crash, 7:36 three members of this family died with him.
They just didn't know it yet.
wow, true, gives me chills
Good tag line.
Woah
"..didn't like him because, in all fairness, he was a dickhead." This kind of statement is exactly why we all love Mike so much!
❤
So sad. Bullies always find someone to do the stupid shite. I fell sorry for him. But the family did get justice. Be safe I love ya💕
Rest in peace to the family and condolences to their family and friends. ❤️🕊️
How truly sad for all involved. I grew up in that area and when you said where this happened, i knew it had to be more than just a break in. This kind of thing never happened there. Its a very safe place.
Glad justice was done. RIP to the parents and son ❤❤❤.
Always appreciate the hard work on these cases Mike
I appreciate that!!
Mike works hard, gives us That Chapter & podcast.❤❤
@@ThatChapter could you maybe do the Atlanta Child Murders please!!!
@@jadedavis822GOOD ONE!!!
Mike is the best! That Chapter and Mr. Ballen are the very talented!
Why didn’t Jacob question why he was needed if Jacob had all these killers in his back pocket? He genuinely seemed scared.. and dim.
He was high on the constant supply of coke all journey was stuffing in him.
Because people who use drugs aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Excellent video! Hate drives people to do such egregious crimes, such as in this case. I'm glad they're where they absolutely deserve to be, away from society forever. Until Friday, have a good week you fine, fine group!!
Mike, your content is so good. Although the crimes are horrific, you tell the story without leaving me in tears on the floor.
The fact that you have 1k likes in under 15 minutes shows just how excellent your channel is. You're the best, Mike!
And 51k views within just ONE hour of upload!
You think thats impressive, go look at a twitch girl sitting in a kiddie pool in the living room. If likes and views are a representation of a persons awesomeness. Then any half naked girl on the internet is far better.
he know the activity is out of this world and I cant believe he is the only one not jamming ads in episodes.
I always give Mike a like before I even listen to the first sentence 😂 because it’s That Chapter and u no its gonna be a good one 👍
@@Marky831that’s such a stupid mentality
The rare case I’d never heard of! Thanks Mike, for years of top tier content. I love ya!❤
I don't think I've heard this one.. to a true crime addict, this is really odd.. 🤔🤨
Thank You Mike! ❤
The main plot of this Crime by lies and intimidation was recorded in the 1930's on 'Calling All Cars' from an actual case, (L.A.) and then was retold on Dragnet in the 50's. Almost 100 yrs ago the conspirator and shooter were both Convicted. Crime doesn't change just the times.
If Johnny was the leader of a murderous gang, why did he need to force the amateur to do it?
Because Johnny is a coward 🤬
He was up with the cartel leaders, They don't get their hands dirty.
In truth they were both immature idiots who let the crack pipe take over their tiny little brains.
@@judyedwards7144And because he knew Jacob was a numbnuts and dumb enough to be persuaded into it.
HELLO MIKE! HELLO EVERYONE ❤ if no one has told you You are special you are LOVED EDIT - I wasn't saying it to Mike I was saying it to anyone who may NEVER hear it like the 4 kids I keep on the weekends
HELLO YOU!
Cringe

So was Joel Guy Jr. 😏😄
Love you Mike! So...let's give it a goooo
I can't figure out what this criminal mastermind's best case scenario was here? It all feels so complicated & unnecessary.
He's a dummy. He thought that having them murdered would mean he gets sole custody of the kid.
@@antjoberttrue and sickeningly the very same kid he actually had overnight care of at the time of the murders but chose to leave in somebody else's care (presumably his disgusting and delusional mother's -she's made me mad, can you tell? lol) to go set himself up with an on camera alibi.
Clearly the crack pipe took control of what small brains they had.
Yeah, but this happens to baby mamas over 3x a day in the US… possibly more, but that’s the average by the ones who are convicted. There’s just a shite ton of stupid out there.
Got to love a mum who can't accept her (clearly guilty) son wasn't involved! RIP Kramers!
This happened in my hometown while I was living there. WILD to see it covered here.
Jacob on the stand was extremely ignorant. He acted bored and annoyed. IMO, not a good way to sway a jury in your favor. I know he was guilty but acting like this case annoys you will probably make a jury be extremely harsh on your sentence. RIP to the Kramers and prayers to their family. Thanks Mike.
Jacob had nothing to lose. It wasn't his trial - it was Johnny's.
Think he just gave up, knew he was going to jail and had nothing to lose anymore i can imagine he was dissociating as well
Johnny clearly was such a devoted father that he arranged for his son’s mother and her whole family to be killed while out at a casino making an alibi while his infant son was at his home being looked after by someone else (probably J’s delusional mother). Another example of a whacko angry person who wants custody in order to punish an ex *not* because he/she loves the child. Jacob’s attitude in court revealed a lot about his character, too; I’m sure he wasn’t too regretful about killing his ex-friend, Michael, or his parents. He wouldn’t have done it on his own, but I don’t think it was that hard to convince him to kill them. Glad they’re in jail and I hope they are there until they’re old men too sick and weak to hurt another person. I hope Angela and Anthony have been able to find some peace as they’ve gone on with life.
I agree. In court Jake sounded like a grown man who knew what to do. I don't think he did it because he was scared. I think he did it because he wanted to do it. Johnny probably promised him he could feed part of his gang
Thank you Mike! No days off for me this week so this is exactly what I needed! Let's give it a go! :)
Love your videos so much! Been watching for a few years now(since 2021 I believe) and am absolutely hooked on your podcast episodes as well! Thanks mike for all the effort, hard work and amazing content you(and Keith on the podcast!) put out!
That Free Johnny Borizov group has a SICK chant.
Hi Mike ! Thankyou once again for another brilliant episode from That Chapter ! this was a really terrible crime about manipulation When Borizv told Jake to murder his ex girlfirends parents and their young son ! all because of a custody battle ! a cruel and dispicable crime and Jake and John both received hefty sentences and thoroughly deserved for their actions ! Thanks Mike you deliverd an intriguing story and presented as always with true professionalism !!! I will def see you in the next ol' video Big Dog and stay safe and those around you too Love ya too Mike as do all your eager followers ! and as always " LET'S GIVE IT A GOO " !!!!! superb Mike just superb !!!!
I live near Darien & have never heard of this story. Great work as always Mike!

Tenfoil hat days?
Please explain

This is such ridiculousness!!!! There’s never a good reason for murder but these murders were so senseless!!!! I’m so thank the entire thing was unraveled! My sympathy to the victims loved ones.
Great work Mike , I’d never heard this case. Take care …. Because I love ya too !
i'd say protecting your family from this psychopath would have been a good reason myself... but hey, maybe just willingly dying or running away to let your family die by his hand would be better in your opinion... cool
Imagine being that child and your mom tells you that your dad had her family killed and is in prison
I just got a job in Darien… scary to see things like this happen so close to home. May all the deceased rest in peace. 😢
From Darien growing up. This is crazy. It is a nice town.
@@markcites1841it’s what the signs say.

Well deserved sentences for both of them. Johnny was the mastermind without a doubt. F*kc those people picketing for him. Thanks for the story, Mike!
I'm bad at remembering names but as soon as Mike starts describing a situation and I recognize it, that horrible feeling about the depravity cones flooding back
Thanks Mike...you've made listening to other story tellers absolute misery. Oh the absolute droning voices of other people's broadcasts. Thank you for your musical delivery and humour. Love you too kid!!
The way he held the gun on the stand 😂 😂 😂
How to show your guilty for sure, handle the weapon like a toy in front of the jury...
I live in Chicago, have all my life, and this happened way too close to home. RIP to the family. 🙏
Hey Mike, always good to see ya. I know you’re story’s are true crime and sad but you do the victims and families great justice
I'm from Chicago and in 2012 I had to go to the suburbs for work for a day. I was arrested for a possession. I ended up in the same cell block as Jake dupage county jail. The inmates I I chilled with talked about what a pussy he is and how he won't make it in prison. He gained like 100 pounds from the time of his arrest. He was Very timid. I remember stacks and stacks of magazines and commissary in his cell. One day he was on the phones crying to his grandmother like literally crying his version of events that he doesn't remember anything until the police were chasing him and how he was going to shoot himself when he got pulled over. He was a heroin addict and was given dope to kill everyone in that house so that the other guy could get custody. Idiots.
did he told you this or did you hear rumors in the yard?
damnnnnnnnnnnnnn
@@ssllsg9439I literally lived with him
LMAO i been dope sick plenty of times dunno if id ever committ murder but i could see this dumbass believing this plan would work. tbh it almost did but he got paranoid and told on himself
@@ssllsg9439the rumors are true in jail
Killed this one Mike! Great one just like everything else you've done! Been watching for years..... Like 5 years. Ive recently feel off for a year or two, but you got me back on this one!
I only keep up with the days of the week because of That Chapter ❤ just getting started on this one but it's already saved to my That Chapter playlist.
The “group” of (very few) “supporters” who were “protesting” sounded very less than enthusiastic.
Whenever I see clips or read about parents, family or community members so deeply entrenched & so blinded by denial, it scares me… I absolutely know what it is to love & be dedicated to someone you love, but to be so blinded that you can’t see the truth is beyond
So happy to find 4k likes in just under one hour.🎉
Its always delivered respectfully yet in a very witty manner
That sorrowful song at the conclusion always gets me. It's a brilliant add. 🙏
To me it’s surprising and also refreshing to find out that none of children were involved. I guess I’m too cynical!
Id never heard of this case. Thanks for digging into it. I appreciate the work you put into these and i just want to say that im grateful for you 😊
you know someone is guilty when they say to the Police " I dont care if you think I did it" Cause An innocent person would care an f load. Like a whole truck load of caring
Thanks for the content Mike! Long time viewer. Nice seeing you get the success you deserve.
Definitely!
The crooked picture had me in stitches.. you're awesome. Nashville Tennessee USA. MID South OF THE COUNTRY

I’m just a few seconds in, but already you’re making me proud! I’ve lived in the United States my whole life and one of those states was Illinois. If you live in states around Illinois, like Ohio and Indiana… They actively and ignorantly pronounce the S, but you didn’t, Mike! Great job!

A murder story book? 🤔 😂

You may not see this but I would LOVE to see you cover the murder of Karissa Boudreau in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, Canada.
A mother planned to murder her daughter, laid out an alibi, drove her daughter to a remote location and strangled her while face to face with her while she begged for her life. There is many videos of the mother (murderer) on the news crying and pleading for her daughter to come home.
I'm not from the area but moved here a few years ago and 15 years later people still talk about it because nothing so heinous has ever happened here in this town.
Wow! That takes a considerable amount of time & strength. I know this bc decades ago a guy convinced his new gf to knock off his ex & it took her several tries & different methods. Most bizarre story ever.
