In a tragic incident that occurred in 2018, Chad O’Melia was brutally stabbed 108 times by Bryn Spejcher, a woman he had been dating for a short period, at his condo in Sherman Oaks, California. Following the vicious attack, Spejcher also turned the knife on herself, inflicting self-harm. Experts involved in the case concluded that Spejcher was suffering from “Cannabis-Induced Psychosis” at the time she committed the heinous act, which ultimately claimed O’Melia’s life.

Last month, the case reached its conclusion in court, where a judge handed down a sentence of two years probation and community service to Spejcher. The decision was met with surprise and disappointment by the prosecution, who had advocated for a prison sentence. In this episode of Crime Fix, a daily show that explores the most significant stories in the world of crime, Law&Crime’s Angenette Levy sits down with Sean O’Melia, the father of the victim. O’Melia shares his thoughts on the sentence and reflects on his son’s life, providing insight into the impact this tragedy has had on their family and the quest for justice in the wake of such a devastating loss.

Unbelievable 😮
Bet if the murderer was a man that did this to a woman he would get life in prison.
Its a tragedy that this woman walked free.
I have smoked since 15 to 60 never had a psychosis , just have to remember to eat at some point before smoking and make sure drink fluids during
Only a liberal would believe cannibus induced phycosis….have you ever smoked?😂😂😂
looks like dad has to take care of this himself.
This monster literally got away with murder. How is this even possible?! Weed doesn't make you murder anything..except some Ben and Jerry's and chips ..she deserves life in prison. Full stop
This is why crime statistics are lower these days.. just don’t convict
They go after Trump harder for filing loan applications
They need to take to Supreme Court! Judge is lost an corrupt for two years probation??? In Texas it’s an eye for an eye this case makes me sick
So sad for this family 🙁 how does this happen
Trust and believe if she was a minority she would be under the jail
Justice was not present for this case, really horrible this murderer gets off with a slap on the wrist.
Now everyone's going to use drug induced psychosis as a defense Jesus christ what is happening to our justice system.
WTF
This is the most ridiculous murder case i have ever heard about, and that's not even an exaggeration. He was Stabbed Over 100 times??!? And she didn't even get any prison time!?!? I literally have seen myself (i was in prison from 2015-2016) people in prison for simply driving on a suspended license and again, not an exaggeration. This is just absurd. I feel so badly for the victims family. SMH 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
When the word “injustice” doesn’t come close to what a sham this insanity is. So we’re back with the 1936 Reefer Madness ideology. Ridiculous.
How is this possible!?
I’m in total disbelief that she got no prison time. Zero accountability
Courtney Clenney now wishing this was her defense
So I’m suppose to believe that cannabis hasn’t been field tested to know if it results in 110 stabs?
100 times & no prison time? Is this a joke??
I hope they win an appeal because this crap is INSANE
Cannibis Induced Psychosis???? 😂 Who Got Paid!?
I dont think a psyhcosis person would think to stab someone that many times to make sure he's dead…., almost like they counted to make sure that that man was dead…very demonic…
Even if it was induced psychosis, send her to a prison psychiatric facility???
Cannabis is legal in California. This presents a precedent that frankly scares me because it gives green light for people to smoke and k*ll.
How many of us who smoke would kill in a cannabis induced tirade? Sure buddy.
You can’t have both the lazy stereotype and murderous stereotype be true of cannabis smokers. Ridiculous
