    CORRECTIONS:
    Nearing the end of the video, I mention that the victim impact statements occurred on Day 8 of the trial. This is incorrect, the victim impact statements take place after the verdict was read. This was likely an error that was written into the script on accident and then some how went over my head during the edit. I will absolutely correct this in a future release!

      I think the police are allowed to hold you while they get a search warrant. Although I would think that would only apply if they thought you were going to run or destroy evidence. Clearly Nick wasn’t going to do either. And it’s not like his injuries were going to magically disappear in the hours it took to get a warrant. So I can’t see how they justified holding him. I also can’t see any justification for stripping him naked. Clearly racism played a big part in this case.

      The smartest thing Nick did was asking for a bench trial. Juries are so unpredictable and you don't know how much they'll follow the law and how much they'll follow their feelings.

    • @edwagner325
      @edwagner325 4 місяці тому +15

      If the evidence is largely circumstantial, a Judge alone trial is smart. Juries can be swayed by emotion; Judges (straight ones) are concerned about following the law and not having their ruling overturned on Appeal (like a periodic job appraisal, professionally they want to get it right for one-for the defendant as well). Defense lawyers know this.

    • @Truth17John17
      @Truth17John17 3 місяці тому

      Nick asked for a bench trial because the judge was also a member of the same secret society, and was obligated to give an innocent verdict regardless of the circumstances. In the documentary made about this case, Nick lets us know which secret society he belongs to.... that judge knew Nick was guilty but he had no choice in the matter. Go back and watch him deliver the verdict -- you can tell it makes him sick to do so.....I was disgusted by this case. It was a repeat of the OJ Simpson trial.....Nick is guilty as hell.

Whatever evidence there is for Hillary, there's more against the ex-husband (since the ONLY evidence was video footage). He could be trying to frame Hillary so that he can be the shoulder for the mom to cry on, hoping she'd take him back. Like the detectives said, she was very popular. The fact that the cops didn't even think about looking into the ex-husband shows that they figured he did it and they were trying their hardest to pin it on Hillary.

      Exactly then when nick gets found not guilty the family of garret are devastated the cops charging an innocent man on that flimsy joke of a case is detrimental to the victim not only does it destroyed the accused life it also means no justice for the victim, the town looked all white and likely viewed nick as dangerous just because he is black, also shocked that nicks civil case wasn’t approved guessing a jury who had already made up there mind that nicks a killer rejected the civil suit. Basically avoid that town if your black the cops are disgusting creatures and the town are a bunch of racists

    • @reignman30
      @reignman30 13 днів тому

      There was more evidence he was guilty of murdering that kid than there was of the "community not approving of their relationship" but that's your biggest concern? If he in fact killed that kid, then the community would be right for not approving of the relationship. You don't even know what the disapproval was about. Maybe they saw some red flags, like him not being good with the kids. He was the #1 suspect for obvious reasons that had nothing to do with skin color. Strange that you don't have any questions beyond your own bias. Yeah the cops didn't handle it very well, and should be fired, but Nick still looked pretty guilty.

    This is what happens when you don’t have your guy and are not certain he’s the guy, the real killer gets away. You can tell by the body language of the detectives they were nervous, not Nick. Interesting to see the tables turn in this case. Usually it’s the suspect who fidgets, plays with items like pens and stutters in the conversation. When you see the detectives doing it, it’s telling.
