My favorite is when Bruce brags about his son. Despite the content, the creation of this channel is wholesome af.
The content is wholesome too. Informative, and the messages are positive. Bruce is a great role model.
@@carmensavu5122 Yeah, except when Bruce is swearing his ass off, lol..
@@bigballz4uA role model is someone who demonstrates positive qualities.
Bruce is a perfect example of why we really need to drop the old-fashioned notion that swearing is somehow bad or immoral. It's about what you say and how you present yourself; not the words you use. Bruce presents himself as kind, intelligent, and professional, and his usage of swear words actually assists in that.
@@bigballz4u Actually, his swearing is a good thing, it makes him "real" and gives him depth of character and experience. I don't trust people who don't swear.
Bruce is the dad everyone would want! However, one thing did annoy me. Jodi and ex dead bf, I mean if MiMi says ex dead bf complained about stalker ex. Why did dead ex BF have sex with Jodi before his death? I’ll say this dead ex bf had a unregulated sex drive and really was addicted to validation.
"I am a lawyer, and I like watching other lawyers"
this quote is genius and can be applied for any craft, hobby, or profession
If they don't, they're not really dedicated to their work. I am a musician and my favorite thing in the entire world is to watch other musicians.
I'm an avid knitter and I love watching other people knit. What they do differently from me, maybe I can find a nugget in there I can use in my own craft. Very fulfilling.
I’m a bartender and I love watching other bartenders work / paying attention to bars/bartenders in movies 😅
I don't think this quote can be used by anyone other than lawyers 🤔
@@DaBeezKneez Learn context clues.
I love JCS videos, unfortunately UA-cam decided that his videos are against TOS and banned him from the platform while many knock off channel similar to his style continues to upload videos without any consequences, unfair and unjustified.
I miss his video uploads. They were always interesting. I think I have watched all of them!
How odd. I don't know what TOS is though.
Are u fucking serious
And they're all way worse than the original JCS channel
The imitators are so amateurish! Wtf YT?
“If it wasn’t for fucked up people, I wouldn’t have a job.” Love it!
I know, I bust out laughing when he said that!! 🤣🤣🤣
Fucked up people.............who have fifty grand.
He could have a different job in a different industry.
Travis is why he’s dead. You cannot toy with ppl like Jodi
I recall just before sentence was passed she said something to the effect of, “I do remember that Travis was conscious when I slit his throat” whereas she had been feigning memory loss regarding the crime; she Clearly did this to deliver a Last Horrendously Cruel blow to his already devastated family. PURE EVIL.
Yep, that was one of the last things Jodi said during her sentencing. And just before that, Travis's sister said in her victim impact statement that she prayed he died before that act so he did not have to feel the pain. Arias is pure evil.
She also said in this admission that she “remembered the gun was first.” I always thought the gunshot came first. Even Flores specifically said so in one of those 48 hour-type shows. They switched the order of which weapon came first because they were concerned that if they went gunshot first (what really happened), the defense would have a much better chance of proving self-defense. So I think this is one of the times Jodi actually told the truth.
How can anyone sustain a gunshot wound to the head and then keep attacking? At the very least, it would have given her a chance to get away. As the medical examiner testified, the gunshot wound did not bleed out which indicates that his heart had stopped.
@@JonShade-fy2gm - That is absolutely untrue! I worked in Maricopa County during the Jodi Arias trial.
@@BBB-rd2qi Just what is untrue?
Content genius Michael Rivers!! We need part 2! Part 3 would be ideal as well but we will settle out of court for part 2 at the bare minimum.
I'll be looking forward to Bruce's facial reaction when she does a headstand and sings in the interrogation room while she waits for the detective to come back in lol.
Singing Dido no less.
😄
Its why I'm here haha
@@cupofcustard it’s their go too song it seems lol.
I think she sang an Xmas song aswell at some point?
"evidence of cleaning shows consciousness of guilt" - these intricacies make these videos so interesting
Perfect mix of professional knowledge and a real humans reaction. Its a nice spin on all the same cases everyone makes their living off on yt haha, I'm thinking I'll sub to Mr Rivers
Does she experience guilt though?
@@ZaraBizarathey mean guilt in the legal sense, guilty or not guilty, not the emotion like feeling shame or remorse
@ZaraBizara No. Even now, she portrays herself as a victim. She has no remorse for what she's done.
The way Bruce calmly and matter-of-factly trashes this liar throughout the video is so good. Love it.
I love a subtle diss, artfully crafted, so its recipient doesn't realize until later (if at all) what was actually meant.
He wants her so badly
It's the Minnesota nice
@@nimo517 Duh!
Good take! Just a note that JCS isn’t a person, it’s a group of video producers. The narrator is a voice actor named Kizzume.
Thank you. Does anyone know what JCS stands for?
@@springfauna1465 Jim Can't Swim (original name of the channel)
@@HeriEystberg Oh wow, okay. Thanks!!
@@springfauna1465 that's why the logo is a guy with floaties
@@CodeeXD I never really noticed the logo before. Makes sense 😅
OMG! The Jodi arias case is what drew me into true crime. I watched every minute
This case was so interesting!!
Same
Please do parts 2 and 3🙏💙🙏❤️🙏💜🙏
She (and Travis) worked for prepaid legal (legal shield) yet doesn't even think to say she wanted a lawyer. Spot on Mr Rivers! Thanks for the video
That’s because prepaid legal is a pyramid scheme and not anything actually related to knowledge of the law
Can’t wait for part 2 and 3. This case is unbelievable.
I lived in AZ when this happened and watched this trial coverage daily. Gavel to Gavel and all the media coverage. All these years later she still freaks me out. Good topic Bruce.
Clearly he is also freaked out soiling his suit
PLEASE do as many parts as possible! The interrogation and trial were both two of the most bizarre and absolutely twisted I’ve ever seen. Her answers were just as ridiculous when she was being questioned by her own attorneys as they were on cross. Hearing the judge read out loud, “What exactly does the word “skank” mean to you and please be specific” is also on a completely different level.
Travis’ family absolutely did not deserve this and are Jodi’s victims as well. It’s terrifying to think there are people in the world like her. 😢
Six months later and we are still waiting for parts 2 and 3.
@@stardustmelody2709 Right? I keep checking back hoping there’s another on Jodi!
@@naomievlahogeorge7958 I thought I was mental and just couldn't find it. I was really looking forward to parts 2&3 😞
They will come, He is a Really Busy Guy, You know?
Still waiting.. Oct. 2023..
I'm sooooo happy that you're doing this!!!! I watched every minute of this trial. I was completely and utterly obsessed with it. She is everything that you said she is and I thought one Martinez was an incredible lawyer. I can't wait for parts two, three and hopefully four! Thank you so much Bruce Rivers! You are my favorite of all of LAWTUBE ❤️❤️❤️
@Michele DeMatteis I get the feeling our UA-cam history would be eerily similar. I watched everything about this case too. And I love love love Bruce Rivers 😂 I bet you were obsessed with the Chris Watts case as well, yes?
I watched it too. Juan Martinez was a great lawyer. If it were my family, I’d want him going after the killer. One place I wondered if he messed up… in the second death penalty case, one of the jurors was a victim of domestic violence. She was the one who hung the jury. I thought he should have never let her on the jury.
I watched the trial too. Even though the prosecution got the win, I still believe she shot him in the head first. It only makes sense since she stole her Grandpa's gun. Because she used a missing cushion to hide the gun and muffle the sound, the gun jammed after the first shot. It was a small calibre hand gun. When he went to the mirror, she said she would go get help but then ran down to the kitchen and get the knife to finish him off. The ME changed his initial report to fit the States theory. I didn't like that.
Shout out to Jim Can't Swim (JCS) for the stellar content that really created the blueprint for true crime analysis on UA-cam!
Absolutely!
He got fked over..check it out..
Absolutely 👍👍!
Society should be glad people like her talk during interrogations. It’s how we learn more about demented people like her. The more we know, the better we are at dealing with them.
So true
I watched this entire case with my Mom, we became so invested in it for some reason, just thinking about what she did to Travis still gives me chills but it did educate me on people like her, I've known a few in my life and the best thing to do is stay far away from them.
My Mom was in the hospital at the end of the case and I'm glad she got to see the verdict before she died. I donated money to the Alexander Family in my Mom's name expressing sympathy to them and received a lovely letter from Travis's sister Samantha. That poor Family, 😢, this was the only time I can remember actively wishing for someone to get the death penalty. I hope each and every day of her life is miserable until the day she goes to hell.
I’m sorry to hear you lost your mom, but I’m glad you two shared something together that has stuck with you. A lot of people say they care about something, you actually did something. You should be proud of yourself
My condolences @suzi on the loss of your mum.
All the good and decent moms and daughters of the world outnumber the evil Jodi. Sending love 💕 to you!
Patiently waiting on part two!! Two of my favorite channels in one, please please please keep this up!
Thanks for covering this! It's unbelievable that JCS- Criminal Psychology hasn't been posting new videos when so many have been clamoring for new content for over a year. I hope they return
Unfortunately it's not that JCS haven't made videos; they have. It's due to UA-cam's terms of service or whatever that's prevented them and that's why now so many other UA-cam channels have flooded to the surface doing what JCS did, yet only JCS got the blame. There's a video that covers it if you just type in 'what happened to JCS' by Plazebology which explains everything :/
Not their fault, unfortunately. They've been restricted by "the powers that be". Strange considering other "JCS-Inspired" channels can continue to post.
I love Bruce's lawyer advice with fatherly advice sprinkled in... he's like, "To lay the grounds for a stalking case, you gotta make sure to cut contact with no back and forth... also guys, a good relationship consists of more than sex, make sure you focus on the relationship or the sex will be hollow. The heart knows wisdom beyond that of which sex can satisfy."
Bruce! We need parts 2 and 3!
😅 yes!!! Omg I thought I was going crazy because I couldn’t find it! 🤦♀️ @brucerivers
Neither can i
What the heck - there is only part 1??? Not cool @brucerivers @clr
Yaaassss
Yes, an astounding yes!
Bruce i'm so stoked you fellas decided to go over these. I enjoy hearing your take on things as a guy who might have to try to defend something like this. cant wait to watch the rest! This was my all time favorite of JCS's takes lol.
edit: yo, there's a fake bot posting with Bruce's profile pic. Bruce doesn't type with bad grammar and underline every word and talk about scams. seriously report the fake bot accounts guys.
I'm so glad you covered this. Truly one of the most intriguing crime cases I've ever followed.
@BruceRivers I’m sad you didn’t do part 2 😢
Idk what it was but I found this case interesting’
Even in prison I guarantee she’s still trying to use her looks to “get what she wants”
Found your Channel a few months back keep up the good work my Man’
Take care’
I had a child with a total lunatic, my daughter is wonderful but my ex made my life a living nightmare for 10 years, repeatedly in court, lost my house, ended up in hospital, it's taken several years and the love of a non-lunatic woman to get back on course....yeah, be careful guys, be extremely careful
Hope you and your daughter are doing ok dude
@@smileyface8057 I am thanks, sadly not able to see my daughter who is brainwashed but not forever
@@jamesgornall5731I've been through that situation. If I could offer a suggestion please, send her letters to your address. Leave them sealed. Tell her how much you love her and you're waiting for the right time when she's matured enough to know what happened. Someday you can give those to her and it will help her understand that you never abandoned her. I wish you luck.
Its better to be alone, than wishing you were alone .... 💯
Where part 2?????
Not enough views so they dropped the series. They are clearly businessmen
Videos take time....
@@MinuteManGameReviews2 years time
I enjoyed watching the prosecution annihilate her during the court proceedings. It was lovely watching him not put up with her bullshit.
Imagine him and Camille Vasquez for Amber heard??? Glory
He would’ve had a field day with Amber H
@@Becki545 That is an interesting point of view . I am trying to decide which one someone is ? Can someone be in between ?
@@BlackStump172 The most prominent differentiation I typically see between psychopath and sociopath is the belief that psychopaths are born and sociopaths are created. This is due to head trauma early in life, extensive abuse, or other contributing factors. But most professionals don't differentiate at all, and just use the term ASPD (anti social personality disorder), which is the new diagnosis that replaces psychopathy.
@@Becki545 With psychopaths there isn't much wiggle room according to the DSM. What I've heard it's either nature or nurture. There's a great video about them on the channel The Institute Of Human Anatomy where the go well into it and use cadaver brains. It's very recent and very informative.
I can't find part 2 or 3! You got me so interested that I've spent 30 minutes trying to find the others.
Honestly a good chunk of the reason I enjoy this channel so much is seeing what a great relationship you and your son have and hoping my dad and I can have a similar relationship for a long time
For me the most scary part, (it’s hard to pick one I know) is how she left that message knowing what she did. That kind of coldness I believe is hard to fake. It’s got to be a part of you.
She evil
It's actually really, really common with spouce/lover/friend murders. They think well if I'm calling them, then I couldn't have done it why would I call if I knew they were dead... it's a silly argument, because the answer is obvious
Bruce gave some good advice about "dating" your stalker. I dated my "stalker" once, but then he kept trying to make me wear his ex wifes wedding dress. We don't talk anymore, also I'm in a different city.
can i wear the dress?
@@tropicalsnow lol
I'm glad to hear you got away. Not too many people can identify a crazy person.
To sociopaths people are interchangeable. Put on his mother’s apron and bam 💥 you’re his mom. He could take out old anger on you. Sounds charming. 🖤❤️🔥
@@annacostello5181 Gabby Pettito dated a narcissist. She had no idea.
Bruce and Michael!! I'm obsessed. Please make the other two installments like an hour long??
You're one of my faves on UA-cam because you don't mince words & call a spade a spade. Also it's been really interesting hearing opinions from the criminal defense side. It's really made me open my mind to both sides of the true crime I watch on scenarios in & out of court.
Bruce I’ve been a fan of JCS for a long time. Watching you comment on it adds another layer of incredible entertainment and insight. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Love you, Bruce! Never miss your videos. You give great life advice, legal advice, but you are a comedian too - I can’t get enough of your attitude!!!❤😂❤😊
I cannot wait for Part 2 & 3!!
He literally says “ the only person who knows what happened is us or the killer. “ she goes “ I want to help however I can” Self snitching
You have the nicest suites and ties! Very sharp. This is my fav. Great channel, learning a ton. 💗🇺🇸✝️
Love this, i watched this trial , its nice to have it explained so well looking forward to the next part thanks Bruce
Lolll at the 20: mark😅😅😅You made me laugh/spit my coffee out with that “soiled suit” comment! I friggin love you hahaha
I loved all the JCS videos, this one was especially fascinating. So glad you decided to react to this... looking forward to parts one and two. Her defense attorneys story is also quite harrowing...the huge negative emotional impact she had on him for years after the trial ... possibly the most exhausting client to have. Happily he made a full recovery eventually.
I'm so glad you are covering this and explaining what happened. People need to know that their life can change in drastic ways easily, and even end their life.
I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time, R.I.P. JCS 🥀
Who is JCS?
@@oliviachetcuti225 your mother
@@oliviachetcuti225 Jim Can't Swim. The creators of the video Bruce is reacting to in this video.
What happened to JCS?
Some of the content have been added again on the JCS channel and the channel is still on UA-cam, however not all their content are their..and some new content would be nice.
Ur a great father Bruce I love this channel and the fact that Michael talked u into doing this! Great choice and idea💜💜
The Jodi Arias case is what got me interested in watching court trials. If there was a class for Self Snitching, Jodi Arias would make it into the text book.
21:09 “Sea lion peeking over a rock” is possibly the best thing that has ever come out of JCS & arias.
As trial atty, I love watching trials too. Love love love your entertaining commentaries!
There was a murder here in Tracy CA of a girl named Sandra Cantu. The “person”who took the little girls life away did the same mistake by talking to the cops by trying to “help” catch the murderer. She got caught.
We need a part 2 Bruce peace and love
I’m really enjoying the series so far! Are you going to do a part 2?
I really enjoy your insight and advice in general as the video played along. I am morbidly excited about the next update while still feeling somewhat ill after listening to this woman knowing what she had done.
Your intro song cracks me everytime.. you are the best
This ones completely new to me! Watching her on the behaviour panel is outstanding! 🙌 Highly recommended it...
Bruce…I work from home. I literally listened to your content all day today. My husband heard some of it…and was laughing at your remarks ( which I always do). I have learned a lot of legalize from you. Great content!!! I am not a cuss word person, but you crack me up so much!!!
Thank you Bruce! Very interesting case. Can't wait for 2 & 3
When is part 2 of this coming out? Fasinating case
This is a great video. Can’t wait for next part.
Me too! I watched every second of this trial. I'm so excited that Bruce is doing this!
One of the best channels on UA-cam. JCS will forever be missed
The beginning to the JCS video actually spooks me lol. You never know what’s around the corner… spooky shit
They shouldn't just spook us like that... 2spooky4me.
I don’t know, if it’s a JCS video I have a pretty good idea that something horrible is going to happen. There’d be two options there: either she met a gruesome demise, or she caused one.
Love you Bruce! You should do more reactions to the interrogations of well known true crime stories! I bet it’ll get your views right up! Keep up the great work Bruce and Bruce’s Son 😁
I would not have noticed your suit change if you din't say anything. Stop Self Snitchin', Dude, lol. I watched the trial, witnessing the prosecutor, Juan Martinez, in action was enthralling, I have been wanting to get his book on this for a long time now. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more.
I can’t find your part two of this! I’m going crazy wanting to see the rest of your comments on Jody
Bruce, love the video you always keep things interesting. Hope all is well with you and the family.
Noe
What happened to part 2?!
I waited a whole year and nothing!! Come on Mr. Rivers and content genius🥺
Loved your other JCS reactions, I'm glad these are back
Are parts 2 and 3 coming soon? I’d love to hear more of your thoughts!
Oh good it wasn't just me not being able to find it so!!!
I've watched the JCS videos so many times this is actually a good change of pace to listen to his reaction as a successful lawyer.
Wondering the same thing. I don’t see parts 2 & 3 😞 I’ve also watched the JCS commentary on her crazy azz. This adds more to it. I hope he gets to it!
I'd imagine that parts 2 and 3, if they exist, are on his Patreon. Not 100% sure about that though
I just came back to rewatch for parts 2 & 3. Womp womp.
This case was the first trial I ever watched. I would come home from work every night & watch ever minute that was broadcast. I was so intrigued by the American system.
Where are you from and what about your system is different if I may ask?
Where is part 2 and 3 Bruce? How you gonna leave me hanging like this ?? 😂
Seems like he does.
The eforms stuff kills me. Makes me laugh every time. Also decided to write a will so it worked
I have a living will for my wishes already and I'm 26. I have no cash or property but I wanted to make my preferences known, in order to be explicitly clear to my religious family in the event.
Thank you 😎😎😎 can't wait for part 2 😊
Listen when people talk. They always end up telling on themselves.
Yes Michael, thank you for bringing us this show.
part 2!!!! you are killing it on the channel #noPunIntended
Never thought I'd be hooked on a channel where someone just comments on videos lol, love this guy, so funny.
Part 2 please and thank you! 😊😊😊
Bruce, you have a lot of class. You remind me of actual lawyers from back in the 60's. I would have loved to have been a defense lawyer. Not to necessarily win but everyone, even idiots deserve a proper defense
I wish yall would have done the part 2 😭
Really appreciate you chopping the video into sections bruce!!!!
Almost every video Bruce says something that cracks me up...this episode it was...booty call... you rock Mr. Rivers.
Love this YT channel, I cannot locate part two of three of this segment
Why have there been partts 2 and 3? This was oosted MONTHS ago, and never any follow up! C'mon Michael Rivers!!! You can't put up part one and at the end of the video say that the rest will be posted soon and then never do it. I absolutely love this channel and will never stop watching but I know I'm not the only one that would like to see the rest of the reaction to this
Bruce, I adore you!!!! You videos are so entertaining and explanatory. I have referred you to all my crime video loving friends!!
This is my second time watching. Please do the next part! Love it
love you guys always makes me feel happy to watch these
This woman is terrifying. This is who Amber Heard was destined to become had she stayed with JD or dare I say if she ever got access to him again. Really sick individual! Thanks Bruce! Love your content!
@Mystifeyed: yes. Totally agreed.
I remember during the amber heard trial thinking over and over usually when we see these kind of psychopaths the other person is dead. I'm so glad JD is safe.
She'd have murdered him and claimed self defense
Amber might still be able to kill Johnny if he allows her to enter his house.
Johnny's bruises are a telltale sign of what Amber would have done but Jody ,you must admit, engaged in massive overkill. She is a frightening nightmare.
Watching this from Bruce’s perspective is always interesting since he’s always thinking from the defense’s point of view. Love the channel 🤘
I was gonna watch some Autocad and Excel tutorials, but saw your video. I’ll watch tutorials some other time.
New Fan from Mexico city!!! Love it and helps me with my interpreter job ...😊😊😊🎉❤
I just subscribed. I'm waiting to see more Jodi Arias. Your theme song is hilarious 😂
New to your channel and loving it!! I keep looking, but I can’t find part 2 and 3 to this Jodi arias one 😅 !?
Hey guys, where's part 2? 😢
Thank you guys for doing this analysis, I hope you do more JCS reaction videos in the future. That channel is fascinating, and so is the feedback from Bruce on it.
I loved JCS, wish he was still posting. Have watched this JA post more times than I can count. She’s fascinating because she truly thought she was going to get away with it.
There's a channel called "EXPLORE WITH US" that's been posting similar stuff.
@@dmatech what's up EWU crew
Also Stranger Stories is also pretty good
I’m so glad UA-cam recommended this channel I love ur videos JCS is a very proper lad he’s awesome
“You can’t go back.”
Truer words can never be spoken. One of the upsides of dating legitimately crazy women is I learned that early-on. When you break up, you stop talking. You’re done; go cold turkey.
I’m sorry, but males rarely end up dead at the hands of their female partners. It happens, but not nearly as often as it happens for women. It happens so often for women, that there’s entire female demographics where murder by a spouse is the #1 cause of death for that group. Like pregnant women. It’s true, look it up.
@@dewilew2137 I’m sorry, I don’t believe anything I wrote related to that. Violence against women is certainly a big issue in society around the world. That said, this being an aberration likely leads this case to get more attention.
Curious thing about this case… the defence would have had ample evidence to indicate prolonged emotional abuse from Travis. Not trying to mitigate Jodi’s evil. But if they didn’t try to lie about Travis, and just shined a clear and honest light on the way he treated her, she might have had a better chance.
