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.

First Beau Bridges voice and now Tom Hanks with this Sergeant! 😂
Were the defense attorneys public defenders?
I can’t find day two –
cast guy and his powerpoint sucked
how does a judge not know what a cast report is in 2023?
if he dumped her in that hour when he went to omaha what was in the truck at burger king?
so the body was found at the area he eventually said they went to have a little fun?
Omg the defense lawyer is gonna either have a stroke or a heart attack. I think he needs to retire and get some rest
Search for “law and crime playlist for dead in ditch murder trial”. All the days will come up, including day 2.
Search for “law and crime playlist for dead in ditch murder trial”. All the days will be in a list, including day 2. I had a hard time finding day 2 as well.
And, the Defendant’s lawyer needs to stop smoking cigarettes!
Quaker Oats guy is going to prison!
Wher is day 2
Day 2 isn’t in playlist unless it is the hidden one.
Where is day 2 video?
Where did they drag up the old defence lawyer? He flicks through papers and then stutters out a question.

Sorry Sam not sure if you are guilty but with a lawyer like this one you are going down
This defense attorney is horrible
The FBI dude has an unusual way of speaking. Doesn’t sound naturist. I wonder if it might be that he is a little autistic.
A ceiling is what your watching
Why is the judge pushing to have a MURDER trial wrapped up in 3.5 days?!
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.
The sighs and heavy breathing of older defense lawyer is a bit gross.
You know have no real defense when OBSESSED about may be some report that wasn’t done
This will be the quickest verdict in history.
The Defense attorney’s interaction with the defendant is slimy, their laughing on the first day was gross.
The FBI agent’s cell presentation is awful. The cell presentation in the trial of Mark Gooch was much better.
That cop in pursuit yells at people like I do when driving
