In this explosive episode of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Lee McKenzie and Tony McCormick to dive into the controversy surrounding Alphonse Le Grande's disqualification after his Cesarewitch victory. With jockey Jamie Powell breaching whip rules by going four over the limit, the disqualification was inevitable, but it's the punters who backed the rightful winner, Manxman, who've been left high and dry. The panel doesn't hold back as they debate the ethics of the decision, question the British Horseracing Authority's (BHA) motives, and challenge the very rules that supposedly protect animal welfare but end up undermining the sport's integrity. Later, Grand National-winning jockey Daryl Jacob joins Emmet to talk about his decision to retire, his thrilling return to action after injury, and his views on the controversial Sauna Ban. Plus, Daryl shares his excitement about a young horse to watch and the race he's most eager to win this season.

Shanda VanderArk 44 ára, fimm barna móðir, var dæmd til lífstíðar í fangelsi fyrir morð og barnaníð í tengslum við dauða 15 ára sonar hennar Timothy Ferguson. Timothy fannst látinn 6. júlí 2022 á heimili Vander Ark fjölskyldunnar í Norton Shores. Shanda var ekki ein að verki, heldur aðstoðaði 20 ára sonur hennar Paul Ferguson hana við að níðast á Timothy þar til hann lést. Má bjóða þér að hlusta á fleiri Illverk þætti?

This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the case of Timothy Ferguson of Michigan, a 13-year-old autistic boy who lived with his mother and stepfather, Shanda and Adam Vander Ark, as well as his older brother, Paul Ferguson. But when Adam suffered a serious of medical events that caused him to be placed into the care of his parents, Shanda and Paul turned Timothy into a literal prisoner in his own home... locking him in a closet, monitoring him with cameras and motion sensors, depriving him of both sleep and food (aside from hot sauce bread), and making him take ice baths until his 69 pound body could suffer no more.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.wzzm13.com/article/news/local/muskegon/norton-shores-mom-accused-of-torturing-killing-son-faced-similar-allegations/69-6eb7f1b1-198e-41c9-a8ba-c719618a1df3 https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/michigan-man-sentenced-to-prison-in-starvation-death-of-his-disabled-brother/#:~:text=Paul%20Ferguson%20and%20Vander%20Ark,died%20from%20malnourishment%20and%20hypothermia https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/michigan-woman-sentenced-to-life-in-prison-in-starvation-death-of-son/ https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2024/03/muskegon-mom-who-killed-son-by-torture-appeals-convictions-wants-parental-rights-back.html https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2024/03/man-watched-michigan-torture-case-on-tv-he-traveled-from-wisconsin-to-befriend-the-suspect.html https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2024/02/man-didnt-want-brother-go-to-prison-for-torturing-their-sibling-to-death.html https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2024/01/the-worlds-a-darker-place-without-him-siblings-of-boy-tortured-to-death-by-mom-say.html https://www.wzzm13.com/article/news/local/muskegon/shanda-vander-ark-sentencing-siblings/69-09a50d76-8efd-4224-b32a-fbc957e7ea40 https://lawandcrime.com/crime/we-know-who-you-are-judge-and-victims-siblings-call-out-mom-who-starved-and-tortured-special-needs-son-to-death/ https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2023/12/mom-on-trial-in-sons-starvation-death-vomits-on-witness-stand-when-shown-boys-photo.html https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2023/09/michigan-mother-went-from-law-clerk-to-murder-suspect-after-son-found-tortured-to-death.html https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2022/07/teen-was-restrained-with-shackles-and-weighed-69-pounds-at-time-of-death-records-show.html https://www.fox17online.com/news/local-news/lakeshore/muskegon/norton-shores-mom-charged-in-sons-death-doesnt-show-up-to-court-friday-after-heated-testimony-the-day-before https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2022/07/brother-charged-with-child-abuse-in-teens-death-a-week-after-mother-charged-with-murder.html https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2022/07/ice-baths-denial-of-food-led-to-teens-death-by-mothers-hand-muskegon-prosecutor-says.html https://www.woodtv.com/news/muskegon-county/woman-sentenced-for-systematically-torturing-child/ https://people.com/mother-vomited-court-shown-photos-son-tortured-weeks-later-sentenced-prison-8550045 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13136159/Timothy-Ferguson-mom-LOST-custody-torture.html https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/248980161/timothy_richard-ferguson/photo https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2023/07/a-year-after-a-teen-was-found-tortured-to-death-mom-and-brother-await-trial.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvd4WkmEeAs https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/mi-shanda-vander-ark-charged-with-murder-and-child-abuse-of-son-15-norton-shores-2023.657529/page-4 https://www.nist.gov/how-do-you-measure-it/how-do-you-measure-heat-pepper#:~:text=The%20amount%20of%20heat%20is,dilutions%20for%20that%20to%20happen. https://obits.mlive.com/us/obituaries/grandrapids/name/adam-vander-ark-obituary?id=44541133 https://www.distractify.com/p/shanda-vander-ark-ex-husband https://www.woodtv.com/news/muskegon-county/man-charged-with-abuse-after-brothers-death/ https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2024/01/mom-says-nothing-before-shes-sentenced-to-prison-for-torturing-son-to-death.html https://www.fox17online.com/news/local-news/lakeshore/muskegon/norton-shores-mom-charged-in-sons-death-doesnt-show-up-to-court-friday-after-heated-testimony-the-day-before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbCMjBtYz6Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV0vDONtLJg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuoisyLZAR4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=682WO3SuNGo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKAb6MQzNrg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Tkidf9SbA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJkHF2FtdnE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edcgxUlD0p0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYMhs4PNieQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txrwdxcWFaM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI4g2h5kICk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAA5UYHcg5k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heL4jvFiaps

This case comes with a trigger alert to child abuse. Timothy Ferguson moved in with his biological mother Shanda Vander Ark in North Shores Michigan in 2021 after not being in her care since 2012.

The duo explores the complex and heart-wrenching circumstances leading to the conviction of Vander Ark for torturing and playing a role in the death of another son, with Ferguson found guilty as her accomplice.

In this thought-provoking episode of "Hidden Killers," Tony Brueski takes a deep dive into a harrowing case of family dynamics gone terribly wrong, featuring psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott. The focus is on the shocking trial of Shanna Vander Ark, convicted of torturing and contributing to the death of her son, and her other son, Paul Ferguson, who played a significant role in these tragic events as his mother's accomplice. Despite Ferguson's agreement to testify against his mother, his sentence of 30 to 100 years in prison raises complex questions about justice, vulnerability, and the influence of mental health in legal outcomes. Shavaun Scott shares her initial shock and the nuanced perspective on the verdicts, especially concerning Paul Ferguson. Highlighted during the trial was Ferguson's diagnosis of autism, which Scott believes significantly impacted his ability to act independently of his mother's manipulative directives. This diagnosis suggests a lack of independent thought and a vulnerability to being controlled, factors that the court seemingly overlooked in its decision. The episode delves into the intricacies of the psychological evaluations presented during the trial, questioning the judge's dismissal of potential mitigating factors beyond psychosis and mood disorders. Scott argues that a more comprehensive consideration of Ferguson's mental health could have provided a clearer understanding of his actions and their motivations. Furthermore, Brueski and Scott explore the delicate balance between punishment and understanding, particularly for individuals with mental health diagnoses. They discuss the judge's rationale for Ferguson's sentencing, emphasizing the perceived lack of empathy and the potential risk he poses to society. This preventative approach by the court, aimed at protecting the public from further harm, is scrutinized in the context of Ferguson's mental condition and the extent of his influence by his mother. Through this episode, "Hidden Killers" invites listeners to reflect on the complexities of legal responsibility, mental health, and the deeply troubling effects of toxic family relationships. It prompts a broader discussion on how the justice system navigates cases involving individuals with mental health issues and the moral considerations at play when determining their fate.

In a heartbreaking case of manipulation and abuse, Paul Ferguson was sentenced to 30-100 years in prison for his role in the torture and death of his own autistic brother. Coerced by his monstrous mother, Shanda Ark, Paul became an instrument of cruelty. But did the court fully understand the depths of psychological damage that warped Paul into this tragic figure?

Psychological Horror: What do the revelations about Paul's alleged joy in inflicting pain tell us about the permanent scars of his manipulative upbringing?

Paul Ferguson, the son of monstrous abuser Shanda Ark, received a crushing 30-100 year sentence for his role in the torture and death of his brother.  Even with a plea deal for testifying against his mother, the judge showed little mercy. Was this justified, or should Paul's lifelong abuse and mental conditioning be considered? Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to dissect this controversial case and its unsettling implications: Victim or Perpetrator? Could Paul truly grasp the extent of his horrific actions while living in a warped reality created by his mother's abuse? Where does accountability begin for someone who never knew normal? Justice vs. Mercy: Does Paul's cooperation warrant a lighter sentence, or does the cruelty inflicted on his brother demand decades behind bars? Broken Beyond Repair? The judge expressed doubts about Paul's capacity for empathy. Can he ever be rehabilitated, or is prison merely protecting society from a tragically damaged individual? A Failed System: While Paul is undeniably guilty, does this sentence highlight a system ill-equipped to deal with deep psychological trauma and its consequences? The Gypsy Rose Analogy: Like Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Paul lived in a twisted world controlled by an abusive parent. Could there have been an intervention to change his path? This episode challenges listeners to confront complex questions of blame, mental health, and the limits of the justice system in a case where the lines between right and wrong are tragically blurred.    Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a courtroom filled with palpable tension and sorrow, Paul Ferguson, 20, faced sentencing on Monday for his role in the horrific torture inflicted upon his younger brother, Timothy Ferguson, under the direction of their mother, Shanda Vander Ark. The sentencing, delivered by Judge Matthew Kacel, marked the culmination of a harrowing legal saga that exposed the depths of human depravity and familial betrayal. Paul's involvement in Timothy's torture came to light in December when he pleaded guilty to first-degree child abuse, a charge stemming from the events that unfolded in their Norton Shores home back in July 2022. Responding to a distress call, authorities arrived at the family residence to discover Timothy's lifeless body, shockingly emaciated and weighing a mere 69 pounds, bearing the harrowing scars of prolonged abuse and neglect. During the trial, Paul recounted the grim details of Timothy's torment, revealing a chilling narrative of confinement, restraint, and relentless cruelty. Timothy, just 15 years old at the time of his death, was relegated to a squalid closet in the basement, where he endured unspeakable horrors at the hands of his own family. Prosecutors painted a damning portrait of Paul, portraying him as both a victim and a perpetrator, a pawn in his mother's twisted machinations, yet complicit in the torture inflicted upon his vulnerable sibling. They argued that Paul's upbringing, marred by abuse and neglect, rendered him susceptible to his mother's manipulation, creating a toxic environment where cruelty thrived unchecked. In a poignant plea for leniency, Paul's defense sought to cast him as a pawn in his mother's sinister game, a victim of circumstance ensnared in a cycle of violence and coercion. Yet, Judge Kacel remained unmoved, delivering a scathing rebuke of Paul's actions, condemning his lack of remorse and empathy as he handed down a sentence of 30 to 100 years behind bars. Addressing Paul directly, Judge Kacel admonished him for his callous disregard for his brother's suffering, denouncing his actions as tantamount to complicity in Timothy's tragic demise. He expressed grave concerns about Paul's potential danger to society and the apparent absence of genuine remorse, highlighting the profound betrayal of trust and familial bonds that defined Paul's actions. As Paul Ferguson begins his long incarceration, the scars of Timothy's ordeal serve as a haunting reminder of the enduring legacy of abuse and the devastating toll it exacts on its victims and their loved ones. In the pursuit of justice for Timothy, his memory serves as a beacon of hope for a future free from the shadows of cruelty and neglect. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
