When Jeffrey and Pamela Blair were raising their four children, they had a hard time finding books that reflected African Americans in a positive light. So they decided to fix the problem. They opened EyeSeeMe Bookstore in University City, and now they have the largest collection in the country. As they expanded to a larger space, they also brought in books featuring other underrepresented ethnicities. Jeffrey Blair says seeing a child walk into the store and them seeing shelves lined with books filled with characters that look like them is what keeps him going. He shares his passion for running an independent bookstore, the challenges of sourcing materials, and why the push for social justice across the country meant one of the busiest years ever.

When Jeffrey comes on he says he “screens” the women to make sure they aren’t symptomatic, and says he’s sure everyone is telling the truth because no one wants to get sick. But Jeffrey says he thinks the real problem Reese is having is that she is in love with him and is just jealous that he’s seeing other women.

The war between the heart and the head took Jeffrey through several decades of searching for truth before he ultimately re-discovered Jesus as the love of his life. After his Confirmation as a teen in the Catholic church he rebelled by exploring Satanism and continued along a path that included LSD - Hinduism - Psychedelic Mushrooms - US Military - Insight Transformational Seminars - Atheism - Agnosticism - Hari Krishna - Buddha in the Marketplace - Guru’s - Dreams - Ayahuasca. While these experiences provided enlightenment from the outside, the chase for the next revelation was taking a toll on his life & relationships and he still felt something missing inside. When Jeffrey finally surrendered to God, he knew that he didn’t have to do anything to earn salvation and his striving was over. Hear how God kept pursuing Jeffrey through all of his experimentation, even when Jeffrey ignored his own heart cries for love.  Today, Jeffrey knows Jesus to be the love that he was seeking his whole life; the one who he can experience in the quiet moments.

Tax Resolution Success Show
Tax Season Found Money with Jeffrey Schneider

Tax Resolution Success Show

Jeffrey Schneider has a tax and accounting service, but he also has a separate company that helps taxpayers with tax resolution and solving their IRS problems. [3:40] When Michael presented the Audit Protection Plan, the first thing that Jeffrey thought was “free money.” [4:30] Michael originally got into the tax audit protection business when he was running his tax resolution business. He was running a separate business of his own selling audit protection plans that generated over $9 million in revenue over three years. It was an opt-in plan at first. [5:30] In an opt-in plan, you have to choose to take the option to join the program. With an opt-out plan, you are telling the client they are enrolled and they have to choose to opt out. The way that Jeffrey structures his audit protection is opt-out. [6:45] Since implementing the plan in 2017, Jeffrey offers the plan to every single client but his practice is a bit atypical. About 80% of the people that turned it down were over the age of 75. He still has a very high acceptance rate for his clients and the program has generated over five figures every single year so far. The retention for the program has been over 96%. [9:40] Jeffrey made more money this tax season than in the past because of two factors. The first is that he has raised his fees across the board and the second is that many of his clients are self employed in some form and those clients are automatically enrolled in the Gold plan. [10:50] The Audit Protection Plan covers three major things: responding to notices after you file the return, audit representation in the event of a full-blown audit, and tax identity theft. It’s also customizable and has three tiers of membership. [13:40] When Jeffrey sends out the engagement letter, he includes a nicely designed brochure that explains the plan and conveys its benefits. He positions it as a cheap insurance plan. The brochure is also present in his waiting room and conference room so new clients always see it. Since it’s automatically included on the invoice, he has had an average 90% acceptance rate. [15:50] The Audit Protection Plan system includes all the documents you need to implement the plan in your tax resolution business. [17:25] You’re charging them on the invoice but it’s not mandatory. If they opt out, the charge is removed. People make mistakes, and the plan is an easy way for your clients to protect themselves from small but costly errors. The plan is also easily adjusted to whatever your existing fees are. The more you charge for your services, the more you can charge for the Audit Protection Plan. [22:45] For the first two years, Jeffrey kept the plan priced at exactly what Michael recommended, but he raised his prices until people complained. The value of the plan still far exceeds the expense for the client. [24:00] You make so much more money by having the plan in place than not having the plan and then charging people separately. Before the plan, Jeffrey would often work for free providing similar services but he tracked his accounts very carefully. The costs involved in handling the services were not even close to the amount of revenue generated by offering the protection plan. [27:15] You are not splitting the proceeds of the plan with anyone, unlike many out of the box tax software programs. [28:05] Jeffrey is going to make about $12,000 net revenue off the 110 tax returns he will do this year. Imagine how much you could make if you had a business that processed 200 or 300 tax returns. [30:30] Jeffrey’s Gold plan includes a couple of extra features beyond what Michael recommends, including additional schedules and expedited response times. [31:30] The people who don’t want the plan are required to sign a client disclosure form that explains they will pay the hourly rate for any work done outside the scope of the return. Jeffrey is getting paid 100% of the time whenever he does any work outside the preparation of a return. He also includes that in his engagement letter. [33:45] If there is any place where it is particularly hard to sell the protection plan, Florida would be it. Jeffrey has found tremendous success with the Audit Protection Plan, even so. It’s a simple program that’s easy to implement and very effective, even in a difficult market. [38:50] Jeffrey is probably in one of the toughest markets in terms of professional fees. If he can implement this system, then you can too. You’re clients want you to protect them. Notices and identity theft are the main selling points for Jeffrey’s business.     Mentioned in this episode: SFS Tax Problem Solutions Free Online Master Class Michael Rozbruch's Tax & Business Solutions Academy

Predictive Assessments Can Lead to More Personalized Instruction with DeAn Jeffrey & Sarah Cude of Istation

Educators have known for a while that personalized, one-on-one education is the way forward for the classroom. But the reality is, with large classrooms and tight schedules, giving this one-on-one teaching time can be a difficult thing to perfect. Technology has been bridging that gap, and what instructors are realizing is that personalized teaching can't be seen as an added feature of the classroom; it needs to be integrated into the entire curriculum. Where do educators start? How do you utilize software to personalize instruction in the classroom and turn data into a more predictive tool for assessment? To get some clarity, we turned to a leader in this space: Dallas-based Istation, which performs predictive assessment and adaptive curriculum for students and teachers alike via an online portal. On today’s episode of the EdTech Podcast, host Daniel Litwin sat down with Istation's DeAn Jeffrey, Strategic Professional Development Specialist, and Sarah Cude, Regional Professional Development Lead for the Southwest, to explore this topic more in-depth. Local school districts and officials at the state level are encouraging their teachers to shift their mindset when it comes to using data, Jeffrey said. Istation provides precise and individualized data about students, so teachers can use that information to guide their decision making and classroom planning. Both Cude and Jeffrey came to iStation after being longtime classroom teachers and using the predictive assessment tool in their respective school districts. “Long gone are the days of solely standing in front of the classroom and lecturing to the whole class,” Cude said. “We know that one-size-fits-all does not meet the needs of our children,” Jeffrey said, agreeing with Cude's perspective. She has seen the results of predictive assessments both as an administrator and as an Istation team member. When Jeffrey was a principal in Bells, Texas, her school saw great results incorporating predictive assessment into its curriculum. “Using Istation with fidelity as one of our initiatives, we moved from being a good school with two distinctions to one of the top five performers in the state of Texas,” she said. Deciding to use the software is only half the battle, though. Listen to Jeffrey and Cude break down the importance of predictive assessment in making more time for individual teaching, why getting the school and district administration to buy in to software like Istation's is so critical to success, and what the future of the personalized classroom looks like.

This episode goes right up until he moves into the notorious apartment on North 25th Street. Resources Wiki Biography Crime Museum Inside the Mind of Jeffrey Dahmer: Serial Killer’s Chilling Jailhouse Interview Transcription Welcome to this first 2 part episode of the Spooky Sconnie podcast. This is the podcast that talks about everything that is interesting, funky, spooky, criminal, and just plain weird from the state of Wisconsin. For this episode & the next episode, we will be talking about Jeffrey Dahmer who is probably the most well known serial killer from the State of Wisconsin. And being on top of that, he is relatively recent. Um, he was still killing people when I was like four. So a lot of older millennials are very aware and, um, I think probably have memories of, um, you know, seeing information about this case on the news depending on if they were allowed to watch the news a young age. I didn't have any barriers on what I could watch, so I watched a lot. Um, a couple of content notes for these two episodes. Uh, because this is a wild case. We're going to be talking about [animal abuse], murder, rape, sexual violence, torture, necrophilia, child molestation, drug use, and misuse, cannibalism and ableism. So Woo, prepare yourself. Let's just start right in. Just do it. ----more---- Jeffery Lionel Dahmer was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 21st, 1960. He was the first of two sons to be born to Joyce, Annette Flint and Lionel Herbert Dahmer. Joyce worked as a teletype machine instructor and his father was studying at Marquette University working towards a degree in chemistry. There are conflicting reports on whether or not, uh, Dahmer had a lot of attention as a child. Some accounts say he was very doted upon, others say he was not. Um, it's really difficult to say, I think. He was described as an energetic and happy child until age four when he had to have surgery to correct a double hernia. And he seemed to go through a lot of changes after that. He recalled his early years of family life being of extreme tension, which he noted between his parents who were constantly arguing with each other. At elementary school, he was regarded as quiet and timid. And on his first grade or report card, one teacher described him as a reserved child whom she sensed felt neglected, and she thought that this neglect stemmed from his mother's chronic health issues. And we can talk all about that on my other podcast, it's called the chronic sex podcast where I talk about a lot of things that have to do with chronic illness, disability and sexuality. So while that is not, uh - while parenting with a chronic illness is not something I've covered yet, that is definitely on the docket for that one. But needless to say, somebody can be chronically ill or disabled and still be a great parent, so let's not resort to ableism with that. Cool. During this time, Joyce had been spending a lot of time in bed recovering from probably a flare up of a condition. Um, it's unknown or un-noted from the information I found. A lot of it seemed to suggest she was just hysterical and wanted attention and that is clearly not true. Lionel was studying so much that he was away a lot. And when he was home he needed to help Joyce a lot. So that's where a lot of the, um, assumption that maybe Jeffrey didn't get enough attention comes from, I think. From an early age, Dahmer was really interested in animals. Friends would later recall that he collected a lot of large insects, dragon flies, butterflies and keep them in jars. You know, something that a lot of kids do. Don't use jars because they can't breathe. But you know, you don't know that when you're a kid. Later on he would start collecting carcasses from the road side. And, you know, sometimes his friends would come along. He would dismember these animals at home in an expansive woodland behind the family home according to one friend. Not only would he does dismember the animals, he would store their body parts in jars behind the family's tool shed and would explain that he was curious as to how each animal fit together. In one instance, he decapitated the carcass of a dog before nailing the animal's body to a tree. And later impaled the skull of the dog upon a stake behind a wooden cross in the wood behind his house, woods behind his house, sorry. His fascination with dead animals might've begun around the age of four when he saw his father removing animal bones from underneath the house. And according to the father, um, Dahmer was oddly thrilled by the sounds of the bones made and really became fixated on playing with and looking out for animal bones. He constantly would search beneath the home for more bones. And, um, when he was around live animals like pets, he would constantly like feel around to try to figure out where the bones were. If you take away like the dismemberment part, I feel like he could have been a good like vet, I don't know. I don't know. He became increasingly withdrawn following the birth of his younger brother. And then the family moved around a lot, which did not help the moves to Doylestown, Ohio in October 66 when Joyce was pregnant with um, Dahmer's brother and when he was born on December 18th, 1966, Jeffrey was allowed to choose the name of the baby and he chose David. The same year. Lionel got his degree and was able to go to work in Akron, Ohio. By his early teens, Jeffery was really tense, really out of it, didn't really have friends and he began binge drinking and heavy drinking for fun, which is not great. He claims that his compulsions toward necrophilia and murder began around the age of 14. And um, you know, it appears that the breakdown of his parents' marriage and their divorce a few years later could have been the major catalyst for moving from just having these thoughts to really enacting them. In 1968, the family moved again to Bath, Ohio. Two years later, um, they were eating chicken and Jeffrey asks his father what would happen if the bones of the chicken were to be placed in a bleach solution. So Lionel was really excited that Jeffrey, you know, was asking these scientific questions because he'd been worried about Jeffrey's attitude. And so he willingly demonstrated to Jeffrey how to bleach and later preserve animal bones. The knowledge regarding cleansing and preserving bones was used on many animal remains that Jeffrey continued to collect. From his freshman year in high school, he was seen as an outcast by people around him and um, he really didn't have many friends. Many of his classmates would later recall being disturbed by the fact that he drank beer and hard alcohol, that he smuggled into the school and concealed in his locker. Drinking would happen all throughout school. Um, on one occasion a classmate saw Jeffery drinking a cup of gin and asked why he was drinking liquor in class. And Jeffrey replied, "it's my medicine." He was largely uncommunicative. He was observed by staff to be a polite student who was known to be really smart. He achieved only average grades though, which they were pretty sure was because he was pretty apathetic and just didn't give a fuck. He played tennis. Um, and he also played in the band for a bit. When Jeffrey reached puberty, he realized, like many of us do, that he was not straight. Um, he figured out that he was gay. He didn't want to tell his parents. He did engage in a brief relationship in his teens, but they never really did much sexually, which is fine. Um, later on he began fantasizing about dominating and controlling someone who is completely submissive. These fantasies would gradually grow and become intertwined with this idea of dissection and, and looking inside this body to see how it worked, just like he'd done with the animals. When he was 16 years old, he conceived a rape fantasy of rendering a male jogger that he found attractive unconscious and raping him. He concealed himself in the bushes on the route that he had noted the jogger took every day. Um, he had a baseball bat in his hand and waited for the jogger to come by. But the jogger was not out that day. Dahmer never attempted to implement this plan again, but stated that this was his first real attempt to attack another human being. Despite being regarded as a loner, he was also known as a class clown and staged a lot of pranks. Some of them clearly were to make other people laugh, but others were really to get attention. These pranks became known as 'doing a Dahmer' and included some really horrible things, uh, making random noises and ablest bullshit, like faking a seizure or acting as though they were physically or mentally impaired.. and it makes me want to punch him even more than I already do. By 1977 Dahmer's grades had tanked because of his alcohol abuse. His parents hired a private tutor for him, but the tutor really couldn't help that much. The parents attended counseling sessions the same year to try to resolve their personal differences and save their marriage, but that was unsuccessful and they decided to divorce. Initially the divorce was amicable. They were like, 'okay, this just isn't working.' But the parents began to fight even more and more, and in early 1978 Lionel decided to just move out of the house. In May, Jeffrey graduated from high school. A few weeks before his graduation, one of his teachers saw him sitting close to the school parking lot and drinking a lot of beer and the teacher threatened to report the matter. And Jeffery was like, 'look, there's a lot of problems at home. The, the guidance counselor is aware of them. It's okay. Just let me be.' After this, Joyce was awarded custody of her younger son, and she and David left and moved in with family back in Wisconsin. Jeffrey, though, was legally an adult and you know, didn't have to follow anyone anywhere. Um, at the time he was living alone in the family home really after, um, graduating high school in 1978. Three weeks after graduation, um, he picked up a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks and took him home. Jeffrey proceeded to get the man drunk and when Steven decided to leave Dahmer, killed him by striking him in the head and strangling him with a 10 pound barbell from behind. The following day. Dahmer, dissects Hicks' body in the crawl space, he later buries the remains in a shallow grave in the backyard before several weeks later unearthing those remains and paring the flesh from the bones. He dissolves the flesh in acid before flushing the solution down the toilet. He then crushed the bones with a sledge hammer and scattered them in the woodland behind the family home. Six weeks after murdering Steven Hicks, um, Jeffrey gets a surprise visit from his father Lionel and Lionel's new fiancée. They hadn't realized he was living alone at the house. And upon coming back they were like, 'okay, like you can stay here, but you've got stuff you have to do.' So, um, that August Jeffrey enrolls at Ohio State University and his goal was to major in business. He stayed for one term, though, and was really unproductive because he kept abusing alcohol. He received failing grades in introduction to anthropology, classical civilizations and administrative science. The only course he did well at was riflery - like shooting rifles - where he received a B minus grade. His overall GPA because of that was 0.45 out of 4.0 - not good. On one occasion, Lionel decided to pay a surprise visit to his son on campus only to find his room strewn with empty liquor bottles. Lionel had paid it in advance for the second term, but Dahmer left after just three months of school. By the time of his first murder - killing Steven Hicks - Jeffrey's alcohol consumption had spun out of control. You know, he dropped out, his father had gotten remarried and was living locally and his father was like, 'look, you should join the army.' So Jeffrey did. Um, he enlisted in December, 1978 late in that month and was posted to Germany shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, he still had his drinking problem and in um, early 1981, the army granted him an honorable discharge because his superiors did not believe that problems Dahmer had the army would be applicable to civilian life. Um, while he was in the army, there are theories that he may have engaged in murders in Germany and German authorities later investigated possible connections between him and murders that took place in the area while he was there, but they don't think it was him. Two soldiers attested to being raped by Dahmer while in the army, one of whom stated in 2010 that while stationed at Baumholder Dahmer had repeatedly raped him over a 17-month period, while another soldier believes Dahmer drugged and raped him inside an armored personnel carrier in 1979. Neither of these things were ever investigated. On March 24th, 1981 Dahmer was set sent to Fort Jackson, South Carolina for debriefing and he was provided with a plane ticket to travel anywhere in the country. Dahmer later told police he felt he could not return home to face his father. So he opted to go to Miami beach because he was 'tired of the cold' and also he wanted to try to live on his own. In Florida, he found employment at a Deli and rented a room in a nearby motel. He spent most of his salary on alcohol - surprise - and was soon evicted for not paying his rent. He initially spent evenings on the beach while he kept working at the Deli. But in September of that year, uh, he called his father and asked to return home. He lived with his father and stepmother for a bit and insisted on being delegated numerous chores to occupy his time while he looked for work. He continued to drink a lot though. And two weeks after getting home was arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. He was fined $60 and given a suspended at 10 day jail sentence. He was then sent to live with his grandmother here in Wisconsin. She was really the only family member that he had a really good emotional connection with and Lionel hoped that her influence and the change of scenery might help Jeffrey, you know, get his shit together. Initially things were great. He would go with his grandmother to church. He did as many chores as he could. He tried to find work. He um, followed most of her rules with the exception of he still drank and still smoked. This new influence of his grandmother really helped a lot for a bit. In early 1982 he started work as a phlebotomist - hat's the person that draws your blood - at the Milwaukee Blood Plasma Center and held this job for 10 months before being laid off. He then was unemployed for over two years, um, living really only on the money his grandmother gave him. Shortly before losing that job, he was arrested for indecent exposure on August 7th, 1982 at the Wisconsin State Fair Park - and by the way, this is about the same time of year the state fair is going on, so that's my guess is he was at the state fair - he was observed to expose himself to a crowd of 25 women and children. He was convicted and fined $50 plus court costs. In January, 1985 he was hired on as a mixer at the Milwaukee Ambrosia chocolate factory and he worked the night shift - 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM six nights a week with Saturday evenings off. Shortly after working there an incident occurred in which he was propositioned by another man while sitting and reading in the West Allis public library. Um, West Allis is a part of basically Milwaukee, but it's, it's, it used to be its own city, um, it's basically Milwaukee though. The stranger threw Dahmer a note offering to perform fellatio upon him. Dahmer didn't respond, but of course it got his creative juices flowing, so to speak. He began familiarizing himself with the gay bars in the area, queer bookstores, the bathouses. He even stole a mannequin from a store to like sex it - do the sex to it. Um, his grandmother found it and demanded it be tossed out though. By 1985, he was frequenting bathhouses. He became very frustrated though when his partners would move during sex. So he starts drugging men and raping them as they lay unconscious. Beginning in June, 1986, he administered sleeping pills to his partners, giving them liquor laced with the sedatives. He was never charged and to be frank, this is likely related to the distrust of police from the queer community and um, the police not giving a fuck about the queer community. Following his later or arrest, he would state "I trained myself to view people have an as objects of pleasure instead of people." After approximately 12 such instances, the bathhouses' administration revoked Dahmer's membership and he moved to using hotel rooms to continue this practice. Shortly after that, he read a report in the newspaper regarding the upcoming funeral of an 18 year old male. He conceived the idea stealing the freshly entered corpse and taking it home. He even got so far as to try to dig the coffin from the ground, but found the soil too hard and abandoned the plan. He was arrested again in 1986 when two boys accused him of masturbating in front of them near the Kinnickinnic River. Dahmer initially admitted the offense and was again charged with indecent exposure, but quickly changed his story and just said he was peeing - just taking a piss and didn't know people were there. The charge was changed to disorderly conduct and on March 10th, 1987 he was sentenced to one years' probation with additional instructions to undergo counseling. On November 20th, 1987 Dahmer, again still living with his grandmother, encountered a 25 year old man from Ontonagon, Michigan named Steven Tuomi at a bar. He persuades Steven to return to the Ambassador Hotel where Dahmer had rented a room for the evening. According to Dahmer, he had no intention of murdering Tuomi but simply intended to drug and rape him as he lay unconscious - simply. The following morning, however, he awoke to find Tuomi lying beneath him on the bed. His chest crushed in and black and blue with bruises. Blood was also seeping from the corner of his mouth, and Dahmer's fists and one forearm were extensively bruised. To dispose of Tuomi's body, he purchased a large suitcase in which he transported the body to his grandmother's residence. There, one week later, he severred the head, arms and legs from the torso and filleted the bones from the body before cutting the flesh pieces small enough to handle. He then placed the flesh inside plastic garbage bags. He wrapped the bones inside a sheet and pounded them into splinters with a sledge hammer. The entire process took Dahmer approximately two hours to complete, which is honestly really fast. He disposed of all of Tuomi's remains in the trash, excluding the severed head. Um, for two weeks following the murder, he kept the head wrapped in a blanket. Uh, after that time he boiled the head and a mixture of Soilex, which is an alkaline based industrial detergent and bleach and an effort to retain the skull and then use it for jerking. Eventually, um, the skull became too brittle and he had to pulverize and dispose of it. Two months after murdering, Steven Tuomi, Dahmer encounters a 14 year old Native American sex worker named James Doxtator. Jeffrey lures, James to his home with an offer of $50 to pose for nude pictures. The pair did the sex and then Dahmer drugs James and strangles him on the floor of the celar. He leaves the body there for one week before dismembering it in much the same manner as he had with Tuomi, like literally down to keeping the head until it got too brittle. On March 24th, 1988 Dahmer meets a 22 year old bisexual dude named Richard Guerrero outside of a gay bar called the Phoenix. Dahmer lures Guerrero to his grandmother's house. Although the incentive was $50 to simply spend the night with him, he then drugs Guerrero with sleeping pills and strangles him with a leather strap. Dahmer then sucks the dead guy's Dick. What? He dismembers the body within 24 hours of the murder and again, keeps the skull for a bit. On April 23rd Dahmer lures another young man to his house. However, after giving the victim a drug coffee, both he and the victim hear Dahmer's grandmother call out "Is that you, Jeff?" Dahmer replied in a manner that led his grandmother to believe he was alone, but she knew he wasn't. So he didn't kill this guy. Instead, he waited until he became unconscious and then took the victim to the hospital. In September, 1988 his grandmother asks him to move out of her house because of his habit of bringing young men to her house late at night and the foul smells emanating from both the basement and the garage. So Dahmer goes on his own and finds a one bedroom apartment moves in on September 25th. The following day, he was arrested for drugging and sexually fondling a 13 year old boy. He pleads guilty claiming the boy had appeared much older. In 1989, he's convicted of second degree sexual assault and of enticing a child for immoral purposes because he had tried to lure this child to his house to pose nude. Sentencing for this assault was suspended - so he's convicted in January and the sentencing is suspended until May. On March 20th, he um, takes a 10 day Easter absence from work and moved back to his grandmother's house. He then uses that basement to do what he loves to do. Um, he lures, drugs, strangles, sodomizes, photographs, and then dismembers and disposes of Anthony's, Sears, an aspiring model. They met at a gay bar on March 25th. According to Dahmer, on this particular occasion, he was not looking to commit a crime. However, shortly before closing time, Sears just starts talking to Dahmer, so he lures him to the grandmother's home where they engage in oral sex before Dahmer drugs and strangles Sears. And the next morning, Dahmer places the corpse in his grandmother's bathtub where he decapitates the body before attempting to flay the corpse. He then strips the flesh, pulverizes the bones and tosses them in the trash. He found Sears "exceptionally attractive" and he was the first victim from whom Dahmer permanently retains body parts. He actually preserves Sears' head and genitals in acetone and stores them in his work locker. When he moves later on, he takes those with him because they are important obviously. At his trial for the molestation in May, um, he was said to be the model of contrition arguing eloquently in his own defense, but how he had seen the error of his ways and that his rest marked a turning point in his life. Like many other serial killers - y'all go watch the Ted Bundy tapes - these guys know how to play. They know how to play with you. His defense argued that he needed treatment and not incarceration, which the judge agreed to handing down a one year prison sentence on day release. This allowed Dahmer to work at his job during the day and returned to the prison at night after that one year. Um, he was also given five years probation. Years later in an interview with CNN, his father stated he had written a letter to the court requesting psychological help before, um, Jeffrey gets paroled. However, Jeffery is granted an early release after serving only 10 months of his sentence. He briefly lives with his grandmother following his release during which time we, he doesn't seem to have killed anyone. Um, and then he moves back into his own apartment. And that's that for this half of the episode. Tune in next time to hear the chiling conclusion!. I feel like I need to do like those really cheesy Batman, like 'will they make it?' kind of segues but it's fine. Um, so when we will rejoin Jeffrey Dahmer will be in May of 1990 um, when he moves to his infamous apartment on North 25th street.
