## Resource

Get ready for an absolutely wild and shocking ride because my sister, criminal defense attorney Shannon Goldstein, is back in the studio for another unforgettable episode of Juicy Crimes! We dive headfirst into the deeply disturbing case of Northern California's "party mom," Shannon Marie O'Connor, an affluent mother who completely shattered a community's trust by hosting alcohol-fueled teenage parties that led to horrifying grooming and facilitated sexual assault. Shannon gives us her expert legal take on how this woman managed to get a stunning 35-year sentence, even out-sentencing Jeffrey Epstein, and we unpack how her bizarre thirst for control led her to continue targeting minors even after fleeing to Idaho. Plus, we are breaking down the absolute fraud of the new HBO Max docuseries about Benjamin Kyle, a man found naked behind a Burger King who successfully faked amnesia for over a decade. From helicopter parenting gone criminally wrong to lazy investigators getting played by a chameleon, you do not want to miss this juicy breakdown!
