Kent County

Pardon? Okay,

because he saw them heading southeast of the county line of Ottawa and Allegan, probably right on the Kent County line, I would imagine.

Yeah, we've got them checking it out.

They say it's something to do with radio towers down in the area.

Further going on to state that Cullen Finnerty's anxiety and paranoia in the woods the night of May 26th may have been exacerbated by an elevated level of painkillers and the CTE.

Stephen Cole, the Kent County Chief Medical Examiner, would also later tell the press Finnerty became incapacitated before inhaling his own vomit and choking.

While it appeared that the Finnerty's finally had a conclusion, the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy also made their own conclusions.

Cullen's brain was sent to them for further testing, where they determined that the severity of CTE was moderate and it's highly unlikely that disease alone led to his death.

For his campaign.

And we've said on this show many times, Jared, that obviously if you win Southeast Michigan, you win Kalamazoo, you win Saginaw, you split Kent County in half, you pretty much won.

At that point, I'm looking at him like, wow, he may split some, you know, he may split the UP.

He may split Northern Michigan.

if it's half a point, then, of course, if it wins by four or five points, then I think they call it earlier because.

Yeah.

Then then you've seen just an incredible swell in Kent County and Oakland County, a swing back that way.

You're seeing things where it looks more like 2018 or 2022 than 2024 in terms of voter composition and makeup.

But one of the most important or at least highly publicized, I think, Senate races in the country is going on right here in Michigan.

And we're sitting here in Kent County, which is probably one of the most purple counties in the in the United States.

Amazingly purple, but let's just say 10 years ago, you would say one of the reddest of the red states in the...

I'm talking about us right here.

I mean, Gerald Ford was born here.

We're looking at the Gerald R. Ford Museum out the window.

So the fact that we are purple today, that the Democrats have made the kind of inroads they've made in Kent County, Michigan, is still stunning if you've been around and paying attention.

But we are very purple right now.

Gwen's trial started in September of 1989.

The state's case was presented by Assistant Kent County Prosecutor David Scheiber.

He started by telling the jury about the alleged lovers pact that Kathy had described.

This idea of the lovers pact, this lovers tryst, this homicidal lesbian duo was extremely shocking and salacious at the time.
