Why is this judge allowing this defense attorney to keep bringing up police involved shootings? It literally has nothing to do with this case… in fact the mother being r@ped has nothing to do with this 5 year old being murdered… it’s so freaking frustrating. She literally tried to destroy evidence 40 minutes after the doctor told her her daughter was dead. She was more worried about herself than anything else. This is absolutely disgusting.
I think the attorney is trying to make her seem rattled and anxious being in a small room with two male cops causing her to keep changing her stories. Blame her lies on the cops tactics making her uncomfortable and not able to think right. She's a terrible actress.
Yeah, everyone saying they like the judge in the live chat, but I think he's way too partial to the defense. All that fuss about the phone and the text messages was baffling. What's wrong with allowing the texts? Come on now!
So she is saying that after her daughter was shot and dying, she picks up her 2yr old because he was crying? But her daughter was literally dying but she doesn’t rush to her first????? This lady is awful
Now in court the defendant switches right back to BLAMING 2 year old toddler Gavin. Defendant treats life as if it is STORY HOUR, EVERYDAY, WITH THE STORY CHANGING SEVERAL TIMES IN EACH AND EVERY DAY. 9AM, it’s one LIE, 10AM it’s ANOTHER LIE, 11AM it’s ANOTHER LIE, 12PM(Noon) it’s ANOTHER LIE, 1PM it’s ANOTHER LIE, 2PM it’s ANOTHER LIE, 3PM it’s ANOTHER LIE, ETC.
She's only saying that because there was testimony yesterday from the crime scene investigator about a blanket with blood on it found near her daughter
Like when did you pray cause you were on the phone every second after the 911 call. She made repeated calls to several people… so when exactly did she pray????
The first time I knew this woman was guilty was when her attorney questioned this police officer. his argument was so poor, but it’s all he had. The police officer was credible and awesome and her attorney put the nail in her coffin.
@@GigglingHamsterthat’s one thing that I detest about the justice system-money definitely gives elites a huge advantage. We definitely have a two-tiered justice system that needs a lot of reform. I’m not saying she is innocent or guilty, not up to me-but it sucks when you can’t afford a good attorney. I just think of all the innocent people who have gone to prison, only to be exonerated after losing years of their lives. That isnt applicable here, it’s just there have been many people wrongly convicted.
If she was so worried about her son growing up and blaming himself, then why didn’t she take the blame instead??? She obviously thinks she’s putting on a good show. Wait til verdict day! Maybe there will be real tears
She wasn’t even holding her daughter when the officer arrived! She was on the phone and pointed over at the couch where she was !! That’s not a mother ! That’s an evil being of some kind
@@shannon_w.I know right? It grated on my nerves when she kept saying You have to understand I was trying to protect my son! If it was me trying to protect my child I would say I did it. 🫤
Imagine how sickened/crushed/shocked Gavin will feel when he one day discovers his own mother blamed HIM for the death of his big sister, who he would have undoubtedly been inseparable with. To know that he will never get to have her in his life and was blamed for her murder will be extremely traumatic. I hope he is somewhere safe, away from her forever, and feeling truly loved.
I’m really glad I’m not alone thinking this. Sadly it’s going to impact his life. Being away from her when she goes to prison, will be a hidden good for him. Growing up with drugs around you ain’t healthy.
He will probably always have it in the back of his mind, "DID I actually shoot her like my mother says?" He wouldn't be able to remember any of it, of course, but I'm sure it will always haunt him. Poor kiddo.
I ‘v been wondering about that as well. Aside from having serious bags beneath her eyes, I do t see any physical evidence of tears. No runny nose; no flushed cheeks; no tears welling in her eyes or wreaking down her face. Lots of sobbing noises and eye dabbing though.
@@daniellecasario7356I’m actually glad her attorney went at the officer hard bec he handled an adversarial cross beautifully. The cop came out on top of that interaction,IMO. He even put an end to any negative connotation about “the hug.” Any competent def attorney is going to pick apart their client’s interrogation and the actions of the cops during the investigation. Like the judge said, “it’s fair game.”
The Defense Attorney is so aggressive, and VERY rude & judgmental towards the witnesses! Not sure why the Judge hasn’t intervened when he portrays such obnoxious behavior.. Defense attorney seems clueless if he thinks for a SECOND that the jury is buying into his Spill! SERIOUSLY 😳
The judge is allowing anything the prosecutor doesn’t object to. It’s the prosecution’s job to object with harassment or anything else that they feel is objectionable. I can’t believe the prosecution isn’t objecting more. This defense attorney may be the worst I’ve ever seen. He’s rude, he’s badgered every witness beyond what’s considered allowable….and yet, there the prosecution sits without a single objection.
I saw her shed exactly 2.5 tears on the stand. Her lawyer does her no favours by trying to discredit the investigating officers! Made himself look as low as he was attempting to make them look.
Unfortunately there’s Chandler Halderson (parents murdered, dismembered & then he "used their fireplace") - his attys were worse. The trial was a few weeks & they asked about 18 questions TOTAL… for ALL the witnesses combined! Well, for all the states witnesses cuz they didn’t call a single person. They were beyyyyond horrible!! The case was VERY hard to defend but they didn’t even try… not an itty bitty ounce. It was sad from every angle.😕🙁

When the prosecutor asked her if she ever took the gun out before the 12th, she said no. Then, she asked was Gavin in her room when she took it out of the bag from the closet on the 12th, she looked confused and said no again. If I was the prosecutor my third question would’ve been, if you never pulled it out before the 12th and Gavin wasn’t in your room when you took it out of the bag from the closet then HOW did Gavin KNOW the GUN was in the bag in the CLOSET!!!???????? How would he know where the gun is? How did he even know you had a gun???? A 2 year old??But she didnt ask those questions 🙄 Make it make sense Robin!!!!!
I thought it was good cross-examination technique - leaving the final point for closing, not asking one question too many. If the prosecutor had asked that question, it would have given the defendant a chance to explain.
Especially after seeing the attempted interview with him. This is not an advance two-year-old. This is a typical two-year-old. No way would he have the wherewithal to be able to grab the stool, put it in position, climb up and grab the gun, run back into the room and shoot his sister square in the chest. Let’s not forget the stool was not by the closet which means, by her theory, he also put the stool back where it was. This woman is unconscionable!
Wow, talk about a delayed response. Mom is completely stoic through half the autopsy testimony, and then all of a sudden she starts bawling uncontrollably. If this was my child, and I was innocent, the minute I saw that “doll” I would’ve started bawling.! Those text about getting the gun was the final straw.
Amazing seeing someone breakdown without a single tear running down their face. I zoomed in on her testimony close up to her face and I didn’t see a single tear. She would go from “balling her eyes out”, to completely fine the very next question… that doesn’t happen if you’re truly crying. Additionally, I cannot believe how much the defense attorney flat out argues with the judge and questions his rulings.
I cant believe the judge is letting this defense attorney talk to him the way he is. Absolute insanity. He would be on the edge of contempt in most courtrooms.
The judge is smart. He’s going to let the defense attorney go off and be disrespectful to AVOID creating an issue on appeal. If the judge issues a contempt finding, now you’ve got another issue potentially on appeal. This judge is smart. Reign in the prosecution, give the defense leeway - get the conviction and make sure it sticks.
This is ridiculous she’s guilty. The phone is evidence so why would she try to destroy it. She’s guilty and the jury and judge knows it. Let’s move forward. Waste of taxpayer dollars!!!
Her main statement that she repeats over and over when caught lying or telling another version of what happened is. " I wasn't in my right mind....duh..You couldn't be in your right mind if you killed your 5 year old daughter.
Judge should not allow her to be so vocal and loud with her sobbing like that during the autopsy testimony. He should have called a recess and spoken with her about controlling herself with no outbursts. It's such a distraction.
I can't figure out who's worse. The disrespectful defense attorney that's loud and talks back to the judge, who can't figure out her defense! Or the fake tears, none remorseful, unresponsible, drug dealing parent! The Defendant!!!
This lady is scary! I analyzed and observed her like I was police. It’s the little things that speaks volumes for me. When she came back for her second interview with the investigators her hair was straight. She has naturally curly hair. I know it sounds petty and shallow but she did her hair! As a mother myself and I’m also a hair stylist, God forbid if my daughter was murdered I wouldn’t be capable of doing my hair nor would I give any fuks to even care what I look like. She shed no tears then and all she’s doing on the stand is scrunching her face with no tears to push out. I cried more for her baby Destiny than she did!!!!
So right! I lost my beautiful Mom, and I won’t lie-I don’t even want to get out of bed. I have my hair stylist wash and fix my hair, because I’m too depressed to do it. It’s hard to even get up for me. 😢 I can’t even go to the store without crying. I couldn’t go get my nails done for sure! I could care less about my nails right now. It’s hard to care about anything except trying to survive another day. 🥺
She reminds me of Darlie Routier the mom that stabbed her sons to death because she was mad at her husband. She’s on death row & that’s where this lady belongs
When I listened to her testimony. If she loved so much your 2 year old shot his sister and you were doing to protect your child . Instead of lying like crazy and so many stories if would have looked better an accident and negligence happened but now you’re accused of murder. You are not protecting your son you’re protecting yourself for the murder. She wants people to accept she did it to protect her son but about your daughter dying in your eyes. You’re a cold killer. I believe the day of sentencing he will bring it up and is going to sweep the floor with her. I can’t wait for that day.
Anthony Todt did the same thing on the stand. No tears and looking at the jury for affirmation. The worst acting ever! Innocent people don’t need the affirmation.
The constant looking at the jury for affirmation is ridiculous. Innocent people don’t need any type of affirmation. Guilty people do to see if their act is working.
This woman is despicable I don't for a second believe that Gavin did it. Through all the 'I wanted to protect Gavin' it doesn't make sense you absolutely don't protect your 2 year old child by telling lies. 🤬😡🤬
This woman didn't smoke in the house, never left the gun out because she would never hurt her children, yet sold drugs to druggies out of the house which would be the ultimate in dangerous situations to put your children in. She didn't want Gavin to grow up knowing he killed his sister yet she blamed him for doing it. Btw there was never one tear coming down her face long before she got a tissue. She is a real piece of work. RiP Destiny you deserved to live a long happy life.
Robin had GSR all over her dress, but now on the stand she claims she wasn’t even in the house when Destiny was shot… her explanation for the GSR is it was transferred on her when she was rendering aid to Destiny , yet she didn’t have a drop of blood on her! WOW🤯
Absolutely pointless attacking the detectives in the case. Even if the 2 year old shot his sister, IT'S THE MOM'S FAULT! There is zero excuse for him having access to a gun. Negligent homicide {periodt}
This woman's fake tears and absence of accountability will be her downfall. Everything she did after her daughter's death was to protect HERSELF not her son. Wiping down the gun and hiding it. Trying to destroy her phone because she was a drug dealer. Trying to get someone to dispose of the gun. LYING to 911 and the detectives over and over again. Blaming the death on a stranger and the father of her daughter. She's deplorable!
Perfect summation! She has no one supporting her at all... That side of the courtroom is pretty empty. That says a lot unless she is bringing a lot of her friends and family as witnesses.
IF she was concerned about Gavin, I'd think she would have just plead guilty. Her no tears, while scoping out the reaction, and all her shifting the blame lead me to believe she's still a liar.
I think he is so done with his trial. I don’t think he’s even listening to her. I think he is thinking of the basketball tournament rankings. (he had mentioned about watching basketball over the weekend). His mind is definitely turned off to the present 😂
Investigator Wardlaw is superb, and the judge and the prosecutors shouldn't put up with the defense atty's BS. The latter acts like an impudent, hostile toddler.
I sometimes wonder if that is the prosecution’s strategy. They don’t interrupt him because he keeps acting ridiculous. That does not sit well with juries. He is not doing that woman any favors. Even when the prosecutor does object it’s so quiet. Once she had to repeat it because the judge didn’t hear it.
Go ahead give 60 years and revoke her 500,000k bond. She should be locked up after these theatrics! Guilty guilty guilty liar liar liar pants on fire! 👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠
I'm sorry but over the pass few days and all the mother's theatrics I have yet to see 1 tear stream down her face! She goes out of her way to throw her head back, shake and grab tissue, but no streaks in her foundation, no red eyes from crying, plus her eyes are already puffy and she will stop fake crying at the drop of a dime! Smh🤦🏿♀️
And the way she would look at the jurors as she wiped her eyes on the stand was so ridiculous. It was obvious to us but I'm sure it was even more so to them since they had an up close view of her..
Agreed, his fixated on irrelevant things like the shingles and with the other detective many questions on “if the couch was normal or not” to the level of shouting at detective for disagreeing about the normalness 😹
Not to get too personal but why do all defense attorneys look like they just graduated from clown college??? Eccentricity seems to be a prerequisite trait among so many of them. Especially the court appointed ones - just like on "Better call Saul"!
She is a borderline sociopath, IMO. Not ONE kleenex was needed in either of her interrogations within hours and days of her daughter's death, but here 5 years later, she has a box right in front of her and she is constantly crying. She is a fake. But I am sure the tears will be limited today since she is testifying. I am guessing with her ego she will want to look her best on the stand. We will see...
She used TWO tissue! That's it. Those are amazing tissue! They hold a river! She's also unique in how she doesn't produce a single drip of snot from crying so hard!
@@mandylucas123 OH! Are you talking about when she testifies? I haven't gotten that far yet. I didn't watch the trial live. Did she actually have tears on her face? If yes, then she was probably reminiscing about her precious phone swirling around in a toilet.
You had exactly the same thoughts I did. Five years after the fact, yes of course you are going to be upset because you never really get over losing a child, however you would not bawl into heaps of hysterics at this point imo. She went too far with her display of emotions. And her continuing to side eye the jury to check out their reactions to see if they are buying any of this will be her undoing. It does come across disingenuous and odd behaviour from her. I believe this lady is not in touch with her emotions and I think the jury will see right through her. Jmo.
I’m watching this and it’s getting on my nerves. Every time she cries , she does this deep breath thing right into the microphone. I don’t mean to be mean, it just seems like she’s trying really hard to make that jury think she’s so upset. Why wouldn’t you just tell the truth? And she slipped up. She was asked if Gavin was in the room when she first pulled the weapon out. She said no. Therefore, how would a TWO year old know to climb a closet, and find it?!? He never even saw it! No two year old is going to want to climb a closet to get into a bag?!??
ANY MOTHER that loved their kid…would be hysterical, fetal position in corner, not answering questions that night that poor little girl was SHOT. Tells so many lies she cannot think of them. She is all worried bout the gun!?!? 🥴🙄
@@dk237 I sometimes wonder if that is the reason why the prosecution does not object. Let him act a fool because that does not go over well with juries.
Her daughter was just shot and immediately she’s worried about being arrested for drug dealing? You would think that would be the least of her concerns at that moment.
I love that the detective is giving the defense attorney a hard time, he's fighting for that little girl.
Agreed. What an amazing witness he is. Really showing what he’s made of and showing up this attorney for how pathetic his line of questioning is.
Egghead is trying to badger the Detective and he wasn't having it. 😂
Yes! He did not come to play games.

Amazing seeing someone breakdown without a single tear running down their face. I zoomed in on her testimony close up to her face and I didn’t see a single tear. She would go from “balling her eyes out”, to completely fine the very next question… that doesn’t happen if you’re truly crying. Additionally, I cannot believe how much the defense attorney flat out argues with the judge and questions his rulings.
If your going to be a liar you better have a good memory
They never so tho 😂😂😂😂
She leaned in for a hug. This disgusting defense trying to paint the detective of misconduct!! Shameful!
I cant believe the judge is letting this defense attorney talk to him the way he is. Absolute insanity. He would be on the edge of contempt in most courtrooms.
The judge is smart. He’s going to let the defense attorney go off and be disrespectful to AVOID creating an issue on appeal. If the judge issues a contempt finding, now you’ve got another issue potentially on appeal. This judge is smart. Reign in the prosecution, give the defense leeway - get the conviction and make sure it sticks.
This detective is SHREDDING the defense attorney.
The “defense” lawyer IS A POISONOUS SNAKE disguised in a suit.
7:43:40 “you had to protect him from the tape measurer” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is ridiculous she’s guilty. The phone is evidence so why would she try to destroy it. She’s guilty and the jury and judge knows it. Let’s move forward. Waste of taxpayer dollars!!!
Pathetic blaming your baby for this.
Her main statement that she repeats over and over when caught lying or telling another version of what happened is. " I wasn't in my right mind....duh..You couldn't be in your right mind if you killed your 5 year old daughter.
EXACTLY
Agreed!!
But she was in the mindset to tamper with evidence. She’s a walking contradiction
Judge should not allow her to be so vocal and loud with her sobbing like that during the autopsy testimony. He should have called a recess and spoken with her about controlling herself with no outbursts. It's such a distraction.
Exactly! Just like the judge in the Jennifer Crumbley trial did the first time she acted even slightly like that!
She’s guilty. Wouldn’t know the truth if it bit her.
I know he doesn’t have much to work with, but her lawyer is terrible!
I can't figure out who's worse. The disrespectful defense attorney that's loud and talks back to the judge, who can't figure out her defense! Or the fake tears, none remorseful, unresponsible, drug dealing parent!
The Defendant!!!
Literally had my blood boiling listening to him.. he made her out to be the victim in the situation
She’s going to prison.
✌🏽
This lady is scary! I analyzed and observed her like I was police. It’s the little things that speaks volumes for me. When she came back for her second interview with the investigators her hair was straight. She has naturally curly hair. I know it sounds petty and shallow but she did her hair! As a mother myself and I’m also a hair stylist, God forbid if my daughter was murdered I wouldn’t be capable of doing my hair nor would I give any fuks to even care what I look like. She shed no tears then and all she’s doing on the stand is scrunching her face with no tears to push out. I cried more for her baby Destiny than she did!!!!
Agreed also I noticed her nails are perfectly manicured for court. Gotta have priorities 🤦♀️
@@cortneyrens right! Her priorities were her and herself. Not Destiny or Gavin. Some people don’t deserve to be blessed with children.
It's the little things, isn't it...the way she's chewing gum, pushing it out of her lips every so often, for example.
So right! I lost my beautiful Mom, and I won’t lie-I don’t even want to get out of bed. I have my hair stylist wash and fix my hair, because I’m too depressed to do it. It’s hard to even get up for me. 😢 I can’t even go to the store without crying. I couldn’t go get my nails done for sure! I could care less about my nails right now. It’s hard to care about anything except trying to survive another day. 🥺
She reminds me of Darlie Routier the mom that stabbed her sons to death because she was mad at her husband. She’s on death row & that’s where this lady belongs
this detective has amazing control
My thought exactly!
Indeed!
Exactly
I can’t believe there are barely any objections from the prosecution! The judge I can’t say I love
Yes him and Mr Riddle! They really held their own against defense cross.
When I listened to her testimony. If she loved so much your 2 year old shot his sister and you were doing to protect your child . Instead of lying like crazy and so many stories if would have looked better an accident and negligence happened but now you’re accused of murder. You are not protecting your son you’re protecting yourself for the murder. She wants people to accept she did it to protect her son but about your daughter dying in your eyes. You’re a cold killer. I believe the day of sentencing he will bring it up and is going to sweep the floor with her. I can’t wait for that day.
Absolutely. Also, she’s been out on bail for the last 5 years.
Agree! She keeps saying she is trying to protect her son. From what? Being arrested?🙄 this woman is not very bright.
If she got the gun a couple of months before and never took it out before that day, how did Gavin know there was a gun, much less where it was?
Don’t forget that both kids were asleep when they returned home.
@@tjohnson7811Destiny walked in the house herself and was holding the remote in her hand… she wasn’t sleeping
@@stayhydrated8321I'm surprised she didn't say she was sleep walking and Gavin too.
And the fact that the stool was still in the family room implying that he also put it back after he used it🙄
This defense attorney is horrible. His style of questioning makes me angry.
He’s rude and obnoxious
The look she gives the jury after she answers a question for real had me chuckle out loud!!
She looks at them loathingly...weird!
She looks to see if they believe her lies
Omg same it’s like an SNL skit 😅
She has an UGLY “cry” 😂
Anthony Todt did the same thing on the stand. No tears and looking at the jury for affirmation. The worst acting ever! Innocent people don’t need the affirmation.
Crying without tears is crazy.
I’m always intrigued by people that “cry” without tears or no runny nose but continuously wipe their eyes .
Because it’s fake.
It’s the audacity for me 😂
The constant looking at the jury for affirmation is ridiculous. Innocent people don’t need any type of affirmation. Guilty people do to see if their act is working.
This woman is despicable I don't for a second believe that Gavin did it. Through all the 'I wanted to protect Gavin' it doesn't make sense you absolutely don't protect your 2 year old child by telling lies. 🤬😡🤬
She keeps reminding the jury “ because I was protecting Gavin “ to convince the jury it was Gavin. Extremely ill woman.
Agreed, but I don’t understand why she did it, if it was an accident or cold blooded and either doesn’t make sense.
I don't see one single tear coming out of her eyes, just her making ugly faces and she has the nerve to blame her son for killing her daughter. SMH
My nose would be snotting if i was talking about my dead child... not enough tissues to catch it
As much as she is pretending to cry… if she were actually crying her nose would be snotting, stuffy & red. Hers is neither… fake cries
No we would be "slinging snot" on having a mental breakdown
@@stayhydrated8321
And more than one dry tissue
This woman didn't smoke in the house, never left the gun out because she would never hurt her children, yet sold drugs to druggies out of the house which would be the ultimate in dangerous situations to put your children in. She didn't want Gavin to grow up knowing he killed his sister yet she blamed him for doing it. Btw there was never one tear coming down her face long before she got a tissue. She is a real piece of work. RiP Destiny you deserved to live a long happy life.
Why didn’t they ever call the dad to testify! He could testify to the behavior even though they don’t get along
Robin had GSR all over her dress, but now on the stand she claims she wasn’t even in the house when Destiny was shot… her explanation for the GSR is it was transferred on her when she was rendering aid to Destiny , yet she didn’t have a drop of blood on her! WOW🤯
She is such liar, she is lost 😂
Also she said she covered her with a blanket, that’s all she did! So how did it get on her if hardly any blood did?
@@ruthisaurus8004 a towel… she cover her with a towel. NO blood got on Robin, not a single drop! She never touched Destiny
Absolutely pointless attacking the detectives in the case. Even if the 2 year old shot his sister, IT'S THE MOM'S FAULT! There is zero excuse for him having access to a gun. Negligent homicide {periodt}
Absolutely
This judge is over this case
She contorts her face and shakes but there’s not a single tear 😠
Not sure if the def lawyer or the “mom” are more annoying!
This woman's fake tears and absence of accountability will be her downfall. Everything she did after her daughter's death was to protect HERSELF not her son. Wiping down the gun and hiding it. Trying to destroy her phone because she was a drug dealer. Trying to get someone to dispose of the gun. LYING to 911 and the detectives over and over again. Blaming the death on a stranger and the father of her daughter. She's deplorable!
i have not seen one tear
Her annoying face when she is trying to look soooo upset 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Perfect summation! She has no one supporting her at all... That side of the courtroom is pretty empty. That says a lot unless she is bringing a lot of her friends and family as witnesses.
@@daniellecasario7356giving me Amber Heard "my dog stepped on bee" vibes.
Her tears Sooo fake. There’s NONE even hardly there. She is disgusting.
She is going to pop a vain trying to force tears out of her eyes
😂
The tears are filling up in the LARGE BAGS under her eyes 🙂
😂 she is as bad as Anthony Todt was on the stand.
Officer Wardlaw was incredible on cross examination.
I’d love to see some body language expert give a breakdown on this terrible liar. Although very obvious 🤥🤥🤥💯💯💯
I hope the “Behavioral Panelist” do it! I bet they will. This is very much like when Anthony Todt took the stand.
IF she was concerned about Gavin, I'd think she would have just plead guilty. Her no tears, while scoping out the reaction, and all her shifting the blame lead me to believe she's still a liar.
I keep saying “protecting him from what? “ That theory makes no sense at all.
You don’t need tissues when no tears are coming from your eyes. That little show will convict her. Only a guilty person fake cries.
And her cross pendant necklace. Also pretending.
Only guilty people need to constantly look over to the jury for affirmation. It’s cringe worthy but juries see right through that.
Not a tear dropped! So phoney! 🤬
The defendant and the defense attorney have the same hair stylist
What did she think she was wiping from her eyes when she was up on the stand? Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Not even any snot to wipe either! 😂
She was wiping dust from that dry Kleenex 😅
And Oscar goes to…. No, Robin, not to you 😂
😂😂
Why doesnt the judge stop her? He should tell her to answer the questions and stop the theatrics. She is a real piece of work.
I think he is so done with his trial. I don’t think he’s even listening to her. I think he is thinking of the basketball tournament rankings. (he had mentioned about watching basketball over the weekend). His mind is definitely turned off to the present 😂
That defense lawyer was awful with that poluce officer Warlock but the officer was great and so polite
The “defense” lawyer IS A POISONOUS SNAKE disguised in a suit.
Yeah Rip Van Winkle needs to chill out
Investigator Wardlaw is superb, and the judge and the prosecutors shouldn't put up with the defense atty's BS. The latter acts like an impudent, hostile toddler.
The “defense” lawyer IS A POISONOUS SNAKE disguised in a suit.
The way he spoke to the judge also was disgusting and he should have been pulled into line for it
I sometimes wonder if that is the prosecution’s strategy. They don’t interrupt him because he keeps acting ridiculous. That does not sit well with juries. He is not doing that woman any favors. Even when the prosecutor does object it’s so quiet. Once she had to repeat it because the judge didn’t hear it.
Go ahead give 60 years and revoke her 500,000k bond. She should be locked up after these theatrics! Guilty guilty guilty liar liar liar pants on fire! 👠👠👠👠👠👠👠👠
I'm sorry but over the pass few days and all the mother's theatrics I have yet to see 1 tear stream down her face! She goes out of her way to throw her head back, shake and grab tissue, but no streaks in her foundation, no red eyes from crying, plus her eyes are already puffy and she will stop fake crying at the drop of a dime! Smh🤦🏿♀️
And the way she would look at the jurors as she wiped her eyes on the stand was so ridiculous. It was obvious to us but I'm sure it was even more so to them since they had an up close view of her..
Exactly. Zero Tears.
Not a single tear! Not a sniffle from the runny nose everyone gets while crying.
There were tears at the end on cross examination, I believe when she was questioned about her mother.
I am sure the jury is seeing all her fakery!
"Antoine BD". She has to label which of her contacts are baby daddies. To keep them straight.
Disgusting!
She can't keep her baby daddies names straight much less her stories.
This detective holds up pretty well against the assinine questions of this defense attorney. My bood pressure is going up just watching!
Agreed, his fixated on irrelevant things like the shingles and with the other detective many questions on “if the couch was normal or not” to the level of shouting at detective for disagreeing about the normalness 😹
The “defense” lawyer IS A POISONOUS SNAKE disguised in a suit.
Not to get too personal but why do all defense attorneys look like they just graduated from clown college??? Eccentricity seems to be a prerequisite trait among so many of them. Especially the court appointed ones - just like on "Better call Saul"!
The defense lawyer sounds exactly like the Farmer's insurance man.
Her & her attorney's hair both give me anxiety.
🤣😆👍
😂 I ’m not sure what the formal term is for a bald mullet🤔
Didn’t want her kids hurt on broken park equipment but didn’t check too see if gun was put up out of reach of children…OK Jan!
Don’t forget she doesn’t smoke in front of her kids either, that’s why she was outside when she saw the flash of light…sure Jan! 😂
She's really Embarrassing!
Her fake crying is ridiculous. There is nothing believable about the story she is now trying to tell.
She is a borderline sociopath, IMO. Not ONE kleenex was needed in either of her interrogations within hours and days of her daughter's death, but here 5 years later, she has a box right in front of her and she is constantly crying. She is a fake. But I am sure the tears will be limited today since she is testifying. I am guessing with her ego she will want to look her best on the stand. We will see...
Agree ! And the way she stares at the jury while fake crying is eerie!!!
@@LyndaSsYes!!!
She used TWO tissue! That's it. Those are amazing tissue! They hold a river! She's also unique in how she doesn't produce a single drip of snot from crying so hard!
@@mandylucas123 OH! Are you talking about when she testifies? I haven't gotten that far yet. I didn't watch the trial live. Did she actually have tears on her face? If yes, then she was probably reminiscing about her precious phone swirling around in a toilet.
You had exactly the same thoughts I did.
Five years after the fact, yes of course you are going to be upset because you never really get over losing a child, however you would not bawl into heaps of hysterics at this point imo.
She went too far with her display of emotions.
And her continuing to side eye the jury to check out their reactions to see if they are buying any of this will be her undoing.
It does come across disingenuous and odd behaviour from her.
I believe this lady is not in touch with her emotions and I think the jury will see right through her.
Jmo.
This judge is terrible. He can't control his courtroom and let it turn into a circus.
99.999999% of the time I cry, my nose runs. Why doesn’t hers?
Because she doesn’t cry
@@tjohnson7811bingo! And tears roll down my cheek. She never wipes her cheek
I’ve been trying to understand that too. At one point she looks directly at the judge, maybe to gauge his response. He did not look back.
No tear at all.
I’m watching this and it’s getting on my nerves. Every time she cries , she does this deep breath thing right into the microphone. I don’t mean to be mean, it just seems like she’s trying really hard to make that jury think she’s so upset. Why wouldn’t you just tell the truth? And she slipped up. She was asked if Gavin was in the room when she first pulled the weapon out. She said no. Therefore, how would a TWO year old know to climb a closet, and find it?!? He never even saw it! No two year old is going to want to climb a closet to get into a bag?!??
...using a tissue that dampens non existent tears
She used two tissue. TWO. Yet "cried" forn2-3 hours. She also is unique in She doesn't produce snot like the rest of us.
And eyes aren’t red from crying either
That’s why her lawyer had to remind her to take it 😂
8:01. Real tears falling quite clearly
@@ruthisaurus8004 8:01 isn't Even showing the court room yet
The patience and professionalism of this detective 👏🏻
All of them from the reporting officer, to the detectives, including medical examiner have my utmost respect.
“Witness #1” detective’s testimony is quite impressive!
Jeeze the defense guy is awful. I wonder what the jury think of him.
This behavior not helping his client. This is like a bad sitcom. And this judge is allowing this inappropriate and unprofessional behavior.
5:56:00 She’s giving Amber Heard “stung by a bee 😖” face lol
😂😂
Liar liar!! Shame on you lady! Not a flippin' tear!
ANY MOTHER that loved their kid…would be hysterical, fetal position in corner, not answering questions that night that poor little girl was SHOT. Tells so many lies she cannot think of them. She is all worried bout the gun!?!? 🥴🙄
Some fiery cross with the detective.. the defense attorney did not come off well at all.
Her lawyer is making it worse imo.
Very combative and petty! 0/10 would not hire
@@dk237 I sometimes wonder if that is the reason why the prosecution does not object. Let him act a fool because that does not go over well with juries.
This defense attorney acting like a child. “Did you prepare for your testimony at all”. It’s desperation
Her daughter was just shot and immediately she’s worried about being arrested for drug dealing? You would think that would be the least of her concerns at that moment.
Drying non existent tears on the stand should also be considered purgery
Very impressive Detective Brandon Wardlaw
Love how she keeps putting the tissue up to the corner of her eyes to wipe those nonexistent tears
