In this episode of The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey continue their Homicide for the Holidays series with two devastating family-centered cases that unfolded around Christmas. Before they discuss homicide, they walk through a complex legal question involving immigration, criminal charges, and victims’ rights, asking whether deportation should wait until a criminal case is resolved when victims are involved.

The episode then turns deeply tragic. One case out of Washington details a brutal Christmas Eve family annihilation driven by greed, where parents, a brother, and two young children were murdered over a dispute involving rent and money. The second case, out of Pennsylvania, centers on a mother and her daughters murdered just days before Christmas, a surviving infant, and a father whose crimes were rooted in years of abuse and an impending trial.

Through legal insight and thoughtful discussion, Lauren and Lacey examine motive, prosecution decisions, the cost of justice, and how often holiday violence is tied to family dynamics rather than strangers, making these cases especially haunting.

It’s the most wonderful and chilling time of the year on The Lawmas Podcast! Lauren and Lacey kick off their Holiday Homicide Series, mixing Christmas lights with true crime darkness. They start with a horrifying Christmas Eve massacre in California, where a man dressed as Santa turned a family celebration into tragedy, and follow it with a shocking New Year’s Eve story from Colorado involving teenage killers and a cult-like leader.

Between eerie details, legal insights, and late-night laughs in pajamas, this episode shows how quickly holiday cheer can turn to chaos and why family law attorneys might have one of the most dangerous jobs out there.

In this laid-back, laughter-filled episode of The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren and Lacey take a break from true crime to talk about real life, real stress, and the chaos of being working moms during the holidays. From favorite musicals and nostalgic TV re-watches (hello, Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill) to court deadlines, snoring husbands, and the fine line between saving money and actually enjoying life, this episode is part vent session, part reminder to slow down and live in the moment.

They share personal stories about work, family, loss, and gratitude, reminding listeners that it’s okay to be overwhelmed, it’s okay to spend on memories, and it’s okay to laugh through the exhaustion.
