Early Access. Violent Obsession. Amie Harwick

Here's the latest trial video that I've been working on. It's a bit of a long one, so I hope you've got a couple cups of tea or coffee to get you through it.
I'll have a proper thumbnail done up for it soon, sometime before next weekend when I release it to the public.

I'll spend the next day planning out the set of videos coming up. Keep an eye on that link sheet for updates.
Hope you're having a great start to the New Year.

Well done as always Dave. My heart breaks for her mom☹️

This lady sucks! She did her client NO favors! I like him less than I did…. Which I didn’t actually think was possible……after hearing her foolish speech. Well done. You should probably retire lady!

Vanessa L

Right!! I was thinking that a bunch.

Dave's Lemonade

What about how she says, and I believe the evidence supports that Amie ran too, for the balcony... Ok lawyer lady, time to take a nap. You've really said a little too much now. No emapathy in her words at all.

Dave's Lemonade

Yeah, the full body cam was pretty irritating. Also, I didn't include it in the video, but get this! The cops thought they knew the way to her house and took wrong turns, making them 10 minutes longer than expected. It wasn't until they got thoroughly lost that they turned their GPS on and found the location. I was thinking about including that detail but it was so convoluted and would've broken up the pacing of that moment.

Dave's Lemonade

That little conversation with his buddies was a whole nother level of cringe, hey!

Dave's Lemonade

Yes, Gareth. You are a bad boy. In fact, one of the worst boys humanly possible.

Dave's Lemonade

I want to make sure I am able to support as many different styles of viewing as possible. I'm gonna try the watermark and title cards on the next one. Then upload to Youtube and see what happens. It'll be a good experiment.

Dave's Lemonade

oh this man got UGLY in jail

ernie

“well her roommate ran away too!” no, her roommate ran to find help for her! i understand this lawyer is just doing her job but my god how do you live with yourself after saying those things..

ernie

are these cops actually fucking stupid? listen to the man and do something, why would he be trying to help this woman and access the house? sure, he could be the perpetrator but he is telling you someone NEEDS HELP NOW and you’re just telling him to calm down. shut up!!

ernie

Telling garbage jokes, and preventing your brother from finding your sex toys can be found on any bad boy’s jail 101 hot tip list.

“Uh…I guess I’m officially a bad boy now, right?”

Hey Dave. Appreciate the detailed response. The correlation does seem strong and I’d hate for you to affect your viewership/revenue to correct and issue that I’m sure in the only one complaining about lol. So just keep doing your thing and I’ll jump thru whatever hoops I have to! The content is worth it 👍🏽

Nick Hughey

Oh, also, I completely understand your reason for wanting the playlists. I've actually been asking Patreon to implement some sort of system similar. I don't really love having the link sheet, for the reason you mentioned. It's easy for someone to jump in, save the links and then jump out. That's why I try to change it up every so often. I just don't know a better solution to keep all the video files in one place. Fingers crossed they sort out their video library system one of these days, with a playlist system included!

Dave's Lemonade

Haha, excellent! Well, the reason I stopped first. Youtube had begun to give me a little bit of grief because when I uploaded the True Crime video to the Lemons channel (Channel 2), it thought that down the track the upload to Lemonade channel was a copyright issue. Once this happened a few times I had begun to notice viewer declines, could be coincidence or could be related, I only have a suspicion. But once I stopped doing that, viewers started to go back up. Again, coincidence maybe, but my superstitious mind that often looks for patterns couldn't go back. Second, I could upload to the Lemonade channel directly and keep it unlisted, then public it when the time comes. The only issue with this, is based on how I've done that before, again, viewership seems lower than when I just upload and hit public straight away. It's like it ocnfusing the algorithm a little. But, whilst typing this, I came up with a solution that might work. When I export a Patreon Early Access video, I may put a big title at the front stating what the video is and who it's by, I'll also put a title card at the back thanking Patreons. I won't have these title cards in the video that I add to the public. If worst comes to worst and the copyright thing is still hitting me. I might even put a tiny little Lemon Watermark in one of the corners for the Early Access. Hopefully that won't be too distracting for you viewing it though. Let me know your thoughts on that solution!

Dave's Lemonade

Wow I really really want to punch this guy.

Maestro! My hat is off to you. This story was particularly important and spectacularly well done. The concept of a human’s ability to obsess is so universal. But violent, murderous obsession is so obscene. I will now call both my daughters, triple lock my doors and worry just a little more than I did last night. Well done, Dave!

Stephanie Gulick

I'd not heard about this case. This one is utterly heartbreaking. Stalking is truly a horrible crime, as described in one of the statements at the end, you just spend all that time in fear. Fear that the person will be round any given corner, hiding in any given nook or cranny. Their presence is constant, even at the times they aren't physically there. I'm not sure any but the most evil deserve to live their life like that, and Amie sounded so very far from that. Thanks for sharing this story with respect as always

Jake Parish

Hey Dave, appreciate the response. I want to clarify that my intent isn’t to playlist the videos so that I can watch them later if I choose to end my membership (although based on how you maintain a Google sheet with links and your other policies I don’t think that would bother you), but more so I just have a long list of videos to get through and so I get peace of mind having it that playlist knowing I won’t forget about it. Whereas if it’s only here on Patreon I may not remember in a week when I have free time to come back here and watch it. Hope that makes sense. Regarding your offer of a Google drive with the video, that’s certainly very kind and I appreciate it. I don’t know if that would necessarily solve the issue and I don’t want you to have to do that for every video. I think as a stopgap solution, I’ll just leave the Patreon page open in a tab in my browser since I usually go about a week between full shutdowns anyway. I should get to it by then. And as for your offer of the long response, I’m definitely interested in why the delivery method changed if you’re able to share. I assume maybe it has to do with Patreon wanting creators to host videos thru their platform for engagement and site retention reasons. I’ve heard they’re trying to move lots of things in house that creators used other platforms for I imagine to try and boost perceived value to their creators.

Nick Hughey

NO U!!!

Dave's Lemonade

Thanks, Celina. I'll never not end them this way. If there's info about the victim that I can find, I will always want to highlight who they were as the last thing to remember in the video.

Dave's Lemonade

I can't agree more. These one's in particular really hit me hard. I suppose because one of the victims talked about how their pain has been streamed for the world to critique. That really got me questioning what I'm doing here.

Dave's Lemonade

*blushes*

Dave's Lemonade

Would you like the long answer or the short one? Haha, also, as a side solution, if I were to put the file into a google drive which you could access, would that work? I can do it the Youtube way, but there's problems that come with it, and if you'd like the long answer, I would be more than happy to write it out here. I just don't wanna blast you with a wall of text and you think to yourself "Geez, I asked one simple question"

Dave's Lemonade

That's a difficult pause! I'm very flattered.

Dave's Lemonade

You're the GOAT Dave

I'm so glad you add victim impact statements at the end; in a sea of Youtube True Crime, I think a lot of viewers become desensitized to death and they really humanize the people you document. Thanks, Dave.

Celina Chimera

I usually try to avoid the victim impact statements when I watch trials live. They are just really hard to hear. But I really appreciate you including them dave. I think it's important we don't always just be entertained by these videos, but moved and impacted as well. Conveniently forgetting this is real life and someone really suffered a horrible death, isn't healthy nor moral. We have to keep our humanity intact if we enjoy true crime. Thanks Dave

eden Skye

I needed a nice, tall glass of lemonade today! Thanks, Boo!

We're blessed with a full length feature film! Praise Dave 🙌🍋

Kailee C

Hey Dave are you no longer able to host these on YouTube? I like having the unlisted YouTube link so I can save it to a playlist for later. The Patreon player is not as good. Or are these still available on the Dave’s lemons channel?
