Part 2: Disturbing Videos Revealed His Deadly Plan | The Ali Abulaban Case

On October 21st, 2021, the day that Anna Aboulaban would die, she texted her estranged husband Ali and said, I want you out of my life once and for all.

She'd been fighting for her freedom for a while, but Ali didn't see her as anything more than his personal property, who didn't have the right to discard him or end their marriage, even though she was the mother of his child.

If he couldn't have her, no one could.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome to episode 55 of the Dark Liberty Podcast.

I'm your host, Kimberlea, and I'm here with my partner in crime, my co-host, my husband, Jonathan.

Hi.

Dark Liberty is the dark downward slope into the degradation of the human mind and the consequences that such darkness brings to light.

So when we left off in part one, and this is part two, so you may want to stop right here, go back and watch part one.

I will link it in the cards and below because there's a lot of context.

There's a lot of backstory.

But when we left off, TikTok star Ali Aboulaban had been arrested for the murder of his wife and the male friend that she was with.

They were both shot to death in the apartment that Ali and Anna once shared together before Anna asked for a separation.

We were showing you one of Ali's interviews from behind bars, one that was a mixture of shock, confusion, and back and forth on seemingly admitting whether he killed Ray and Anna, but also saying he wasn't responsible, saying things like, I lost my wife.

I found them like that.

But Ali gave several interviews after that one where he very publicly claimed he was responsible and but that this was a crime of passion fueled by substances, alcohol, and untreated mental illness.

He was claiming diminished capacity and believed he at most was only guilty of involuntary manslaughter, not murder.

The prosecution disagreed.

They felt that Ali had premeditated Anna and Ray's murder and they believed they could prove it.

Ali was officially charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the deliberate killings of Anna Marie Aboulaban and Rayburn Cardenas Barron.

This is where we will begin today's video and the explosive trial that took place.

There is a lot to talk about, so I think it's good that we recap, especially because some of you are not going to watch part one, and that is completely fine.

Ali Aboulaban was a social media personality known for his YouTube and especially his TikTok content, which he created under the name Jinkid.

Ali rose to fame with his spot-on impressions of well-known characters from the movie Scarface, the rapper Tekashi69, and he bore a startling resemblance to young Al Pacino.

And doing these skits, he amassed a large following.
