Summary

In part two of our exclusive interview, Bryn Spejcher discusses the night she stabbed her friend 108 times in a Cannabis-Induced Psychosis. Dr. Phil further explores the story of Bryn Spejcher, a former doctor of audiology, whose life took a horrifying turn due to Cannabis Induced Psychosis. After stabbing Sean O'Melia 108 times in a psychotic episode, Bryn attempted suicide and was subdued by police after a violent struggle. Tonight, we recap the heart-wrenching details of the incident and discuss the broader implications of marijuana use in our society today. We also talk to Bryn’s legal team and one of the forensic specialists who helped discover Bryn was without a doubt suffering from a Cannabis-Induced Psychosis at the time of the incident. Bryn, who never imagined such a tragedy could unfold, speaks candidly about her experience and ongoing recovery. Tune in as Dr. Phil provides a deeper look into this complex case and its shocking legal outcome.
