What an absolute pleasure to see a personable judge on the bench. This is a judge that keeps business serious, but lightens up the mood when she can. Believe it or not, to a jury, that really helps them get through a trial. (I could do without the possum stories though, 😄😂🤣)
@@sadiehill6792 Sadie, MOST have NOT left out that part. May just be a quirk of this judge. Although I can tell you, I'm waiting for the bombshell day that all changes and it's completely banned for the reason of: "we must consider the rights of those who don't believe in God".

This is why I love southern folk. They implement their life experiences into formal settings because they recognize the validity of human experience and comfort
Only Southern folk do that? lol. Dude, I don't think that's strictly a Southern thing but I do concur, this is a great tactic to break the tension in the room. I've also found that farting really really loud in a dead silent courtroom has the same effect. Always a great icebreaker!!
f you that southern folk... People from all walks of life live, love, care, compassion, wholesome! peace...my gut feeling you are narrow mind. But in my heart there is nothing you.
It's evil to kill anyone but it's even more disgusting when it's the parent of a young child. My heart breaks for Drake. I'm sure his step-mother is wonderful but it's just not the same when your mom has been murdered. I hope Ashley is having a really hard time in prison. Btw, it doesn't matter how much training one has in physical combat when someone you trust sneaks up behind you and shoots you in the back of the head like a coward!
@@jleezy612WELL SHE KNEW SHE LIKED WOMEN AND HAD A SETTLEMENT COMING SHOULDA HAD SEPERATE ACCOUNTS NOT A JOINT ACCOUNT HER MISTAKE ALSO FOR CHEATING ON HER HUSBAND WITH FEMALES DONT FEEL SORRY ONE BIT
@SaraMcDonalds you don't feel sorry that she was murdered because she cheated on her husband?? If that's the case, then your moral compass is definitely askew also.
It's not victim blaming to say, if Taylor wasn't greedy and hiding money from her husband, this never would've happened. This wasn't just a case of a woman, trusting her friend to put money into her savings, this was a woman that was effectively stealing money and trusted a killer to hold onto the money.
All the wonderful comments on our judges here in the South! Didn’t notice her demeanor til I started reading the comments. Yep, we’re like that down here. Kind and personable but smart and on the ball.
@LawandCrimeNetwork As a huge fan of the channel, I'm really not trying to be petty but (even if just out of respect to Taylor & Jeff) please correct the title. He is the VICTIM'S ex husband. NOT the defendants. Thanks guys!!! ❤
Taylor was going through some difficult life struggles and also made some bad choices along the way. Ashley preyed on her friends weakness and took advantage of Taylor’s struggles to better her own life. What a Judas Ashley is! This is why many women can’t have healthy relationships with other women, we can’t trust your intentions.
That is so true, I have 0 real friends because I don’t trust anyone! You can’t. I am a very nice person and a lot of times I am too nice and I have had supposed friends take advantage of that.
There's no evidence that Taylor was trying to better her life. She abandoned her only child and was not doing anything to change that. She STILL hadn't paid a nickel of child support. She was cheating on her newest clam like she cheated on her husband, she was becoming a cocaine hound. She only considered returning SOME of the money she stole to avoid jail. Just because Ashley was a reptile doesn't mean that Taylor wasn't a selfish "c-word".
Yeah but I don’t no if u no that Taylor wasn’t a drug addict until Ashley was feeding to her in her meal and she became a drug addiction to my understanding from one of Ashley
@@patrickmba7638 That's what all criminal clients or defendants do. Especially the ones that are guilty. Wow such a shock they couldn't hide all the evidence to cover up their crime. It's normal and this is how they get caught. Murder is very difficult to get away with due forensic science
This is totally not relevant but Taylor's ex-husband is a total Babe!! I love how we speak so directly and that Superhero voice of his does not hurt either Mmmmm!!
No, by then the money was already gone. She stole and spent first on her little sugar baby boyfriend that she was having an affair with and then panicked when tayler started to blow her up so she popped up on her in person a couple days later and led tayler away to her death by leading her to believe they were going straight to the bank. She immediately blew thru the money as soon as it was deposited, like it was hers.
What a FANTASTIC judge! Kind, relaxed, entertaining AND an animal lover is s big plus in my book. Kinda enjoyed the "agent speak" of the victim's ex-husband......"affirm" and the way he says his dates with the day before the month. That's government! Great videos!
I was a little baffled by the defence's questioning of the ex-husband... having told him that it was a Saturday on the states evidence number two, the attorney seemed to give up... did he think that the ex was going to be negative towards his ex-wife and then realise that maybe he didn't make a good defence witness. The defence guy reminds me of the other defence attorney in My Cousin Vinny
Any lawyers out there? What kind of stuff would the defense attorneys be discussing with Ashley during this? What do you think she’s writing on that notepad?
I think it's an act pretending to write counter arguments to witnesses' statements that are non favourable to her case. It's also a distraction technique for herself because she lacks the balls to face people. She isn't writing anything worth reading, all an act 🙄
The guy on the witness stand w the heavy dark beard, owner of Stix Pool Hall, looks so nervous and he's trying to block the Judge from seeing his face during his testimony. Notice he puts his hand on side of his face. I'd love to know what body language experts would say. He's creepy.
DANG L&C get it right. Jeff Wright is not the defendant's ex-husband, he's the VICTIM'S ex-husband. Looks like it's gonna be an interesting trial. I like the judge.
Doesn’t it say Victims Ex-Husband? Am I missing something or did they edit the title. I’m seeing a lot of these comments, but it clearly says Ashley McArthur Trial day 1-Victims Ex-Husband
She really owns that court room and I love it! That judge is so kind and really cares about her job the truth and keeping her 15 chickens happy LOLLl she is someone to look up to !
What an amazing a judge! She seems genuinely kind and seems to make everyone feel comfortable. She is an example of what a judge should be. As for that disgusting, poor excuse for a human Ashley, she looks mad and cold. She clearly has no remorse. I say lock her up and throw away the key
Mr Wright is a first class individual. The contrast between him and the defense attorney is striking. Hope he and his family are doing well.
Y'all doesn't this judge feel like the most likable neighbor on Friendly Street
Great FB name...equally funny comment..so true...wouldnt mind having her for my neighbor
Reporting live from my sofa; I'd love to her and Mr. Rogers as my neighbors on either side!
I love her. She truly seems to treat people equal and is so thoughtful.
As much as Epstein killed himself
She seems really nice and approachable.
Truly THE NICEST judge i have ever seen. She is awesome

She does seem lovely, I agree. Also check out the judge in the Donald Hartung case. He was incredible.
I've never seen a judge be considerate of a smoker. She seems very kind and She loves dogs.
She seems to like animals lol or at least bring them up a lot
Chickens , possums, dogs 😂 to funny! But she seems cool!
Well going through this trial to my opinion.... she wasn’t cool! She was...😳 annoying?! Lol
Maybe she’s a smoker. That’s why she’s chewing gum?
Because this judge almost berates the witnesses. It’s not professional.
Adolf Hitler was also both those things. I suggest you search for more good points before declaring someone "very kind." :0)

Not even
And now we've seen Judge John Hyland, who was also an outstanding judge. Actually, I've seen quite a few both here on UA-cam and in person.
What a great judge
Mr Wright has such great and genuine love for his child. He is respectful of his ex-wife despite her theft of their shared account...
I love this judge! She really makes things as light as they can be in a murder trial.
