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.

Where's day 2? I couldn't watch the whole thing yesterday and now it's gone.😕
Can't find day 2 😢x
Oh good. We're only into opening statements, and the defence is blaming the victim 😢 Smh
Omg now I have to count ceiling tiles
Off topic! Did anyone witness the man sitting behind, the boy in the box defendant? They were talking under their breath to the defendant
Hello loves
I like the prosecutor. He’s got a good delivery style.
Omg noooo I missed day one!! I’m here now phew. Hope the audio is good hehe! Yep I think it is
Didn’t know Beau Bridges was a judge now
Turn. On. The. Microphones. Come on guys, what is the point of being on the record of you can't hear it????
Donna Adelson (Charlie’s mom) was arrested last night!! Yippee
Sound is really terrible. I love watching your trials but this is really🤦♀ not pleasant.

I wish these trials had better titles. It's not respectful to the victims.
Sound quality is POOR. PLEASE try to fix!
DONNA ADELSON HAS BEEN ARRESTED!!❤
Can’t hear anything.
Volume sucks tell them to talk into the mic
Hot 🥵 lawyer for state!
Judge looks like beau bridges
Defense Attorney screams Public Defense (not paid & DGAF)
32:47 opening statements
Why broadcast if you can't hear them?
The prosecutor is a knock out 🤩
Short court day or did we miss stuff?
This opening isn't very good. He needs to be more direct. Or to represent all his characters more clearly. I'm lost already. Witch means so is the jury.
Soft voice Attorney with no microphone
Trying to find a new trial after finishing Kowalski v. Johns Hopkins. That was a great one. Hope this one is. Any suggestions?
Cannot hear this very well
The people who do this stuff…they are the trash!!! 🫤
The audio is way too low.
Is there still a Marie Callender’s plant in Council Bluff?
I think it done for the day on morning at 9;15
Sound is so low 😢
Ugh, why am I looking at the ceiling? Is it over for today or on break
34:34 opening begins
