Welcome back to "Scream and Sugar," your true crime coffee hour, where we dive into the dark side of humanity while enjoying something sweet on the side. Today, we're delving into the chilling case of Austin Harrouff, the Florida State University student whose brutal attack in 2016 left the nation in shock. One night, in a seemingly inexplicable fit of rage, Harrouff assaulted and killed a couple, John Stevens III and Michelle Mishcon, in their home. The scene was gruesome, with Harrouff found by police biting the face of one of his victims. This shocking detail led to rampant speculation about his mental state and potential drug influence, particularly given his bizarre behavior and claims of hearing "demonic" voices.

The case took a complex turn as Harrouff's defense argued that he was in a psychotic state during the attack, while the prosecution pushed for accountability and justice for the victims. Medical examinations later revealed no traces of common street drugs, deepening the mystery. The court faced the daunting challenge of distinguishing between genuine mental illness and sheer brutality. Join us as we unravel the details of this harrowing incident and explore the perplexing psychology behind Austin Harrouff's actions, examining the fine line between madness and malice.

Hang with us (and special guest Sophia Shortz!) as we go through this chilling case and hear about our delicious experience with La Michoacana Plus.  We'll see you in the next one. Stay Spooky, babies!
