The judge is accommodating the 12+ jurors who actually agreed to serve. That is a part of her responsibility. However she is a bit "over the top" on her attempts at humor, etc.
She truly cared about her partner, it is sad how many other people were affected by the killer, And that's all she is and will forever be remembered as, A Killer, I hate this story, Thrilled Justice was served!!!☮️ That's one strong woman right there!!
I am really impressed with this prosecutor. Very intelligent, asks pertinent questions only and knows how to lay out the story. And I’m only on the first witness, but she is extremely credible. Even though I am only on direct, I imagine that she will be difficult to impeach.
Bobby Dools To me, he tries to concentrate on points that don’t really impeach witnesses on pertinent points. He just wants the jury to see some inconsistencies from them on even small points. That may have an impact during deliberations. But I agree with someone else in the comments. If they had offered her a plea to say, second degree, she should have jumped on it. There is just far too much circumstantial evidence so far. And we’re not even into the meat of the case. Her downfall, ultimately will be Home Depot. There’s no getting past that. She’s toast.

Since when is it the JUDGE’s job to tell a Witness on Cross to ONLY answer strictly yes or no? This judge is weirdly hostile towards Ms Waller. I’ve never seen a judge do that without a lawyer REQUESTING the Judge to direct a witness to say YES or NO only. Annoying now.
It is strange that the judge isn't waiting for an objection. I think she is trying to prevent a mistrial in the case the witness offers information that was ruled excluded
I feel horrible for her aunt ..what a sense of betrayal from a family member you trusted.... ruining your beautiful property you were preserving for a bridal venue .. she made it a crime scene and a cemetery .. crushing your dreams
It's her arrogance and having no remorse for her crime is most disturbing. But it's amazing that she was a trained professional in forensics but she didn't have the brains enough to do anything even half way basic to cover up the murder of the victim she stole money from and then leaving cell phone pings to the murder scene What was she thinking? Or maybe she is an idiot or was very stoned

@@chrisx2k6 My point is pretty clear: you're accusing the judge of being rude and unlikable; my point is that her job is not to be likeable or friendly with anyone involved in the trial, her job is to make sure everything in that courtroom is being presented the right way and that laws are respected. I just find it odd and unnecessary to judge (no pun) the judge's attitude, when all she's doing is her job.
Mrs. Britt makes mince meat out of the older attorney. She's obviously angry at her niece for murdering someone and leaving them very near her property. I'd say it ruined her wedding business.
@@chocolatefrenzieya the victim may not been a saint but she's not the one on trial here, Ashley is because she shot her in the back of her head and tried to cover it up. There's no excuse for that.
@@chocolatefrenzieya sorry. Didn't mean to do that but yeah I saw the Foley trial and see your point. I just think this case and his case is different.
@@bx7054 I believe it's different, too, and think there's no way this gal will walk. Guilty as SIN, imho. I was just pointing out that defense will def jump on any defect of character in hopes of lighter sentence or even acquital. They gotta take what they can. :D
Why is she expounding her sense of humour? The cold blooded murder of a young Mother is being tried in her court. All her child got back were some of her bones. In my opinion, laughter is the last sound her loved ones would want to hear.
I can't believe how rude and disrespectful the judge is towards the witnesses! Totally unprofessional! The other thing is that the older lawyer is so disorganized! Irrelevant questions too! Just WOW!!!😔
Just what I was going to say! The Judge keeps making jokes, sidetracking the Jury, talking about the temperature etc, etc. Totally unprofessional!! Also agree about the older defense lawyer. Doesn't seem to have a clue what he's doing! I am English, and I'm shocked at how informal the whole thing is. The first time I watched anything about the American legal system was the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial. Even that was quite informal, but this one is ridiculous!! How anybody expects to get a fair trial baffles me!
ThIs Judge has no respect for the witnesses. My goodness it’s like she’s the jury hall monitor with the atttitude to back it up. It’s a murder case- she is the worst judge I’ve ever seen!
I’m not sure why the judge continues to say only yes or no answers. It’s up to the defense to object if the witness is volunteering information they don’t want in evidence for the jury. I’ve never seen a judge do this. The witness usually just talks until the prosecutor says “I don’t mean to interrupt you but -“ or the defense objects. Very strange
I had watched MANY a trials on UA-cam and this is the FIRST ONE that I've ever heard a Judge not let a witness explain their question sometimes in order to answer it correctly you can't just say yes or no smh!
Actually you are incorrect and for a Judge to allow a witness to explain can and be grounds for mistrial . Any Judge that allows them to talk beyond yes or no is out of order
now days nobody dials friends actual phone numbers they just go to contacts and click on their name. how in the world does taylors girlfriend remember everyones numbers. very impressive, she has a great memory.
I am the same way. I can remember my childhood friend’s phone numbers and I’m 43. I’m terrible at math and unfortunately can only remember useless phone numbers and not anything helpful. Lol
@@samsmom400 I actually still memorize numbers to this date. Not all but definitely those that I call most--my daughter, 4 sisters, my best friend, ex-hubby, my niece, etc. I've always been good with numbers and I assume Cassandra is too.
Every comment on day 1: The judge is just so amazing. She is literally perfect. She is so humble. She is the beat judge ever. Every comment on part 2: The judge is trash. Rude as hell. This judge is not likeable.
Bridgett Jensen is a stellar prosecutor. The judge is an example of a failed prosecutor. This judge could not argue the guilt of a murder suspect if a video exited of the crime.
Ok, I want to give Ms Waller a hug after her difficult questioning by the “*($’#./ défense lawyer. As for the other witness,she was nervous. The judge should have tried to calm her rather than snapping at her. Many people have a fear of public speaking, let alone at a trial.
This judge is absolutely obnoxious. It is not her role to dictate the time in which it takes to cover all of the discovery. She is so rude and condescending to the witnesses, and quite frankly, her banter with the jury regarding the length of the videos that they will be viewing is setting up a negative view before the video is even played. She is very unprofessional.
Dang, this Judge. She seemed cool yesterday during openings but she nearly bites the witnesses head off if they keep talking when she sustains an objection. Not everyone is in a courtroom daily to know that you stop talking when an objection is sustained. Interesting things this Judge does. Man oh man this is one tangled love story.
That lady is a sorry excuse for a judge...she’s is just plain rude and she isn’t even paying attention. She just chews gum, texts, tell stupid stories and is only worried about being done by Friday. I would hate to have her running a trial that decides the rest of my life.
I would have totally complained about that judge. She's one of those I imagine defence and prosecution dread having her on the docket because of her absolutely weird and bipolar attitude. She's like a teacher telling a student off for getting something wrong -_-
I don’t like the way this judge is handling the witnesses!...It was making me nervous just to watch this!...Ms Brit was being so nice and she was TRYING to do what the judge wanted, but that old defense attorney was being VERY confusing with his questions...And I WANTED to hear what she had to say!...
Wow this judge is unbelievable!! I get it, it’s her responsibility to keep order. But that isn’t keeping order, she us downright rude to WITNESSES!!! They aren’t trying to lie or deceive. Both these women are out of there comfort zone and trying to answer to the best of there ability. She could tell them kindly how she expects them to answer. But dang they didn’t murder this girl, they didn’t cover it up, they didn’t do anything wrong. I wouldn’t want to testify her court room!
@Ruth James I was thinking the exact same thing! Her Possum story, her trip to the dentist, walking her Great Dane, but when it comes to the witnesses, Chop, Chop, we are pressed for time, so just answer yes or no. She is awful! And chewing gum to boot!
She needs to be. All of her actions have hurt so many people. During this trial she was already serving a 7yr prison sentence for the Arson of her Family's Business, to hide records that she has not paid companies that were supposed to be paid. She stole money and left a child without a Mother just so she can spend it all on some guy that she was cheating with on her husband. She is an awful human being. I am glad she will wake up everyday in a cell.
@@SouthPawGirlieI keep hearing about her being incarcerated before this murder trial how did she walk into those two interviews on her own with the detectives she wasn't incarcerated at that time that's what's confusing to me 🤔
Kara Britt was sort of hostile with the defense attorney even though she's kin with Ashley. Britt must be angry that Ashley torpedoed her wedding business dumping a body there.
@@SDandRnRoll Taylor was a private investigator from the write up on on law crime site where you can watch it live streaming. ASHLEY was a CSI. Regardless they were both thieves. Taylor stole from her ex, and Ashley stole from Taylor as well as murdered her because she spent the money.
This judge has made one too many cutesy jokes for my taste. This is a heartbreaking murder trial, not a comedy show - totally get the concept of maintaining a positive mood but making jokes when the witness is on the verge of tears crosses a line of professionalism and basic empathy. Just my opinion ✌🏼
It really does mess up jurors if the witnesses elaborate in any way. One question to Ms. Britt was about a year/date, and she included information about the purpose of a trip (son's college), what they did (helped him unpack), what day of the week they arrived, and what day of the week they left. By that point, I'd COMPLETELY forgotten the year which was the only question that was asked. This is a simple example of how extraneous information can derail the attorneys and make the jury lose focus on the crucial bit of information that the attorneys want them to know. If this happens repeatedly, the jury starts to focus on the personality and background of the witness they're "getting to know" due to all of the extra details. It also lengthens the trial (every little bit adds up), which can cause jurors to become tired and inattentive. Some witnesses either see this as their 15 minutes of fame, or they want to be "helpful," not trusting that the attorneys and police and judge have it covered.
The older attorney appeared to nearly fall asleep at one point as he was shuffling papers for an awkwardly long time. Then the judge sort of had to wake him up. He might need to retire.
I just made the most disgusting and disturbing realization.. I had already seen Cassandra's interview and I've seen this trial before but for some reason I was like, wait, how did Ashley even get into Taylor's phone if it was fingerprint locked. Then I realized. I felt physically ill
You've seen in movies where people will physically cut someone's finger off.. but i doubt Ashley did that.. Ashley most likely used Taylors finger (post death) she then could have gone in and changed it to NO lock.. so she didn't have to use Taylor's fingerprint...
Can’t figure out what’s with the judge and the jurors? She almost seems to coddle them...I find it odd, most judges I’ve seen, seem to almost ignore them. Great prosecutor!!
I don't know about y'all but I love this aunt lol...miss personality judge could be a mild lenient with her .. I understand not getting carried away but a few words other than yes or no can't cover some answers
Defence is such a smart a*s with hi Poindexter glasses....Defence your client is guilty....spent the money and couldn't give it back so Taylor had to be silenced.....GUILTY
The attorney at the end was correct to point out to the judge that she neglected someone who needed something. She's so fixated on rushing through, she ignored them and is blaming it on saying they were probably going to ask a question. She's not caring about anything except rushing.
I’ve watched SO many trials (as most of us probably have), and I’ve never seen a judge so short and rude and snippy to the witnesses. She spends so much time doting on the jury and telling them how much she cares for them and how they are “her people”, and talking about the temperature in the court room, but can’t let some say 5 words because it takes up too much time?! Good lord. She needs to retire already, you can tell she’s just over this “judge” thing.
I *think* they're trying to suggest that it wasn't there when the family was clearing brush, so it's possible someone else murdered her later and buried her there to try to pin it on Ashley,during a time when there is no evidence that Ashley was out there. It's a ridiculous stretch, as is most of this defense.
The judge was inexplicably slow to intervene or admonish (as she has has been strict to do with everyone else) Kara Britt - Ashley's aunt - when she rambled. And that witness was the one who most needed reminders to stay in topic.
Maybe if colonel Sanders didnt speak like he was a 5 year old chewing on dirt it would have been easier to answer his questions. I would have walked off stand. Between him and the judge I would have been infuriated. If a "yes" or "no" answer is not probable to the question I would refuse to speak under oath.
Attorney: "What is your date of birth?" Kara Britt: "Well, it was raining that day and my dad saw a bird. Planes were taking off and the sun is sometimes yellow, but only when there isn't an iceberg floating and sometimes I take naps." 🤔 🙄 🤔 😕 🤔 🤨 🤔
She just can NOT answer yes or no. Lol....She approached the whole thing with a cheerful attitude. Poor girl...She is so cute. And then Colonel Sanders is a hair's breath away from dementia which doesn't help.
@@suzih.6687 It's not just yes or no! - she can't give a straight answer period! The first part of what I wrote in my comment came directly from her in that exchange! The atty asked her her date of birth, super simple right? Wrong! Instead of saying 00/00/0000, she LITERALLY started with "Well, it was raining that day......" when a clearly agitated atty cut her off and a courtroom sat stunned lol!!
What’s the point in repeating the same exact questions by both sides? The answers don’t change. It doesn’t prove or disprove anything. It’s almost like they have nothing at all to cross examine about so they slowly repeat each damn question for no reason what so ever. It makes no sense. None. I could see if it lead somewhere or if it was asking because of lies. But it’s not. It’s just wasting time and it’s frustrating as hell.
Wow... if I was testifying & this miserable judge kept snapping on me to "JUST ANSWER!!!! 😈" yes or no, I'd keep saying "neither of those options is the correct answer, if I can't give a unique answer I'd be guessing" for every single question
I'm really just not impressed with the defense lawyer so far honestly. He seems extremely unorganized. Kara's entire testimony is making my anxiety go through the roof. 🤦
Jonathan Turbide Obviously. I think that goes without saying. However, the trial is being recorded for the purposes of documentation, and it’s a bit pointless to not bother to record the evidence being shown while the camera is running and could easily be pointed in the right direction. Nobody is saying the general public is more important than the jury.
@@mcw8900 Sorry to come across as Captain obvious but that's what happens when a bunch of self-centered people are crying about not being able to see some of the evidences, you have to take them by the hand and remind them that they're not a part of this trial.
Pretty sure the Aunt blew her story of they trimmed all along the fence line....LOL Keeps saying One Tree....no matter how hard that defense attorney keeps trying...
I don’t know if it’s just me but I thought the judge initially had a really lovely unusual way about her. But her demeanor towards Casandra Waller feels hostile, curt, abrupt & cold for no discernible reason. Ms Waller is an excellent witness, polite, logical, and respectful towards the court. Is it me or does anyone else think the judge may be judging this woman for being gay? I’m just really not liking it. I know we’re in the South here -but yesterday I picked up - during Prosecutors opening, that the prosecutor was careful in the way she brought up the victim was formerly married to a man and was now involved with a woman. Ugh.
I agree with the above comment and would add that the prosecutor raised that to avoid later confusion of the jurors. Not everyone has an awareness of relationships like that, moving from one gender to another.
The pain on the girlfriends face is absolutely heartbreaking! My heart goes out to her! So tragic
shes Ghay for the stay lol

Since when is it the JUDGE’s job to tell a Witness on Cross to ONLY answer strictly yes or no? This judge is weirdly hostile towards Ms Waller. I’ve never seen a judge do that without a lawyer REQUESTING the Judge to direct a witness to say YES or NO only. Annoying now.
It is strange that the judge isn't waiting for an objection. I think she is trying to prevent a mistrial in the case the witness offers information that was ruled excluded
Criminal Law 101 please look it up
It isn’t just this witness but the judge completely interjected more times than necessary with many of the witnesses
I think that she may want to help it along so that they don't waste too much time on semantics.
I absolutely agree. This Judge seems to like both her own voice and performing in some way.
Can not STAND judges like this.
Extraordinarily unprofessional
In other videos everyone praising and saying they love this judge
I feel horrible for her aunt ..what a sense of betrayal from a family member you trusted.... ruining your beautiful property you were preserving for a bridal venue .. she made it a crime scene and a cemetery .. crushing your dreams
ASHLEY HAS " I AM EFFING CRAZY" EYES...
big trade totally it is the psychopath stare
It's her arrogance and having no remorse for her crime is most disturbing. But it's amazing that she was a trained professional in forensics but she didn't have the brains enough to do anything even half way basic to cover up the murder of the victim she stole money from and then leaving cell phone pings to the murder scene
What was she thinking? Or maybe she is an idiot or was very stoned
Zelda Zelda the first and second but drunk and on a cocaine paranoia bender too remember they hooked up an 8 ball plus that week
Her personal substance abuse was obviously well hidden,
Much better than her victim, no disrespect meant ☮️
No person creates the mess she had before her without a strong impairment issue ( drugs etc )
Merry Christmas Ashley,
You built your house,
Sleep well 👎👈🏽
This judge is.... rude. Unlikable.
Well she's not supposed to be likeable, it ain't Judge Judy, she's there to make sure the evidences are presented correctly.
@@jonathanturbide2232 Don't know what you're talking about. Those qualities are not mutually exclusive. And I find Judge Judy very unlikable. Your whole post is confused nonsense.
@@chrisx2k6 My point is pretty clear: you're accusing the judge of being rude and unlikable; my point is that her job is not to be likeable or friendly with anyone involved in the trial, her job is to make sure everything in that courtroom is being presented the right way and that laws are respected. I just find it odd and unnecessary to judge (no pun) the judge's attitude, when all she's doing is her job.
Mrs. Britt makes mince meat out of the older attorney. She's obviously angry at her niece for murdering someone and leaving them very near her property. I'd say it ruined her wedding business.
I think she's way madder about the property part than the ruthless murder part.
oh, you're right! I couldn't figure out why she was so mad and unhelpful
what's weird is she says Ashley didn't work there but Ashley was definitely part of the wedding business... they still hold weddings btw, pretty dark
MAN the judge is rude to this witness! Wow.
The defense going after the victim's character. Still doesn't provide an answer of HOW and WHY her body was found on Ashley's family property!
Eh, I get ya, but a victim's shitty personality does sometimes count. Did you watch the Foley trial, recently?
@@chocolatefrenzieya the victim may not been a saint but she's not the one on trial here, Ashley is because she shot her in the back of her head and tried to cover it up. There's no excuse for that.

@@chocolatefrenzieya sorry. Didn't mean to do that but yeah I saw the Foley trial and see your point. I just think this case and his case is different.

This Judge is very rude and seems agitated. I’ve never seen a judge reprimand attorneys and/ or witnesses as much as she does. ANNOYING.
I think her behaviour has been most odd since the1st day. She's getting on my nerves now.
She's doing her job/keeps the court in order /she has a dry sence of humor
Why is she expounding her sense of humour? The cold blooded murder of a young Mother is being tried in her court. All her child got back were some of her bones. In my opinion, laughter is the last sound her loved ones would want to hear.
Again thats her job order in the cpyrt room/i thought she did a great job
@MysticMoon By Eve Jewellery For you, I've got nothin'. There's no point.
I hope Law & crime will show the entire trial and not bits and pieces
I can't believe how rude and disrespectful the judge is towards the witnesses! Totally unprofessional! The other thing is that the older lawyer is so disorganized! Irrelevant questions too! Just WOW!!!😔
Just what I was going to say! The Judge keeps making jokes, sidetracking the Jury, talking about the temperature etc, etc. Totally unprofessional!! Also agree about the older defense lawyer. Doesn't seem to have a clue what he's doing!
I am English, and I'm shocked at how informal the whole thing is. The first time I watched anything about the American legal system was the Johnny Depp / Amber Heard trial. Even that was quite informal, but this one is ridiculous!! How anybody expects to get a fair trial baffles me!
And called her by the wrong name.
It might be just me but the questions that the Defence Attorney is asking, all can't be answered yes or no.
@Steve G Neither have I
Yes, many of them you need to explain in more detail than a yes or no can answer.
Cassandra answers questions like it’s the quick fire against the clock bonus round in a TV game show
Lol! She does! 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She does. She seems very no-nonsense.
I want to practice answering questions like that. Love it!

So impressed with the state attorney, and her rebuttals!!
Yes!!! She is awesome! I think she would make a great Judge. Better than the one that is over this trial.
@@SouthPawGirlie agreed

This judge is so disgusting towards the witnesses who are absolutely traumatized and left with a hole in their hearts
The judge comes over very rude some times and it’s not called for at all...mostly. To the people testifying, like this aunt. IMO
This defence is painting Ms Waler as an angry lover who purchased a gun days before Taylor goes missing/Nice try tho
ThIs Judge has no respect for the witnesses. My goodness it’s like she’s the jury hall monitor with the atttitude to back it up. It’s a murder case- she is the worst judge I’ve ever seen!
Totally agree
I’m not sure why the judge continues to say only yes or no answers. It’s up to the defense to object if the witness is volunteering information they don’t want in evidence for the jury. I’ve never seen a judge do this. The witness usually just talks until the prosecutor says “I don’t mean to interrupt you but -“ or the defense objects. Very strange
That’s what I was thinking about she couldn’t tell anything.
I had watched MANY a trials on UA-cam and this is the FIRST ONE that I've ever heard a Judge not let a witness explain their question sometimes in order to answer it correctly you can't just say yes or no smh!
Right! Saying yes or no doesn't let you answer certain questions correctly!
This judge is junk
Actually you are incorrect and for a Judge to allow a witness to explain can and be grounds for mistrial . Any Judge that allows them to talk beyond yes or no is out of order
now days nobody dials friends actual phone numbers they just go to contacts and click on their name. how in the world does taylors girlfriend remember everyones numbers. very impressive, she has a great memory.
I wonder why she would memorize them? I don't know anyone's number. That's strange to me.
I am the same way. I can remember my childhood friend’s phone numbers and I’m 43. I’m terrible at math and unfortunately can only remember useless phone numbers and not anything helpful. Lol
price pruett One should ALWAYS memorize essential numbers. If your phone dies and you have to borrow one, you’ll need it!
Hay that what you cal smart my friend
@@samsmom400 I actually still memorize numbers to this date. Not all but definitely those that I call most--my daughter, 4 sisters, my best friend, ex-hubby, my niece, etc. I've always been good with numbers and I assume Cassandra is too.
I think if the judge would have let the aunt ramble on she would've eventually been talking all about her son's wedding.
Lol
And I would've listened...more interesting than this part of the trial!!!!
Please this judge is driving me Coo Coo. It might be time to get a new job as she’s definitely not a happy judge, she can’t be with that attitude.
Every comment on day 1: The judge is just so amazing. She is literally perfect. She is so humble. She is the beat judge ever.
Every comment on part 2: The judge is trash. Rude as hell. This judge is not likeable.
Actually felt she was rude on day one and liked her better day 2
I say something in the middle on both days. Measured Just on power trip and self absorbed.
She was overbearing on day one.
I didn't like her on either day.
Omg does that judge even want to be there or realise the witnesses are not the ones on trial 😡
Bridgett Jensen is a stellar prosecutor. The judge is an example of a failed prosecutor. This judge could not argue the guilt of a murder suspect if a video exited of the crime.
Ok, I want to give Ms Waller a hug after her difficult questioning by the “*($’#./ défense lawyer. As for the other witness,she was nervous. The judge should have tried to calm her rather than snapping at her. Many people have a fear of public speaking, let alone at a trial.
She didn't have a fear of public speaking otherwise she wouldn't have kept elaborating and kept her answers to the point. She knew what she was doing.
The older defense attorney looks like Colonel Sanders!
LOL Exactly!
This made me chuckle lol
They're both cute!
Joe dirt and colonel sanders!!
This judge is absolutely obnoxious. It is not her role to dictate the time in which it takes to cover all of the discovery. She is so rude and condescending to the witnesses, and quite frankly, her banter with the jury regarding the length of the videos that they will be viewing is setting up a negative view before the video is even played. She is very unprofessional.
Dang, this Judge. She seemed cool yesterday during openings but she nearly bites the witnesses head off if they keep talking when she sustains an objection. Not everyone is in a courtroom daily to know that you stop talking when an objection is sustained. Interesting things this Judge does. Man oh man this is one tangled love story.
Dang, even I wanted to bite this witness' head off. It was cute when she was bragging about her son, but after that, shaddap, already lol!
I think she's doing it on purpose to interrupt the flow of the Defence's questions. She's an odd duck for sure.
That lady is a sorry excuse for a judge...she’s is just plain rude and she isn’t even paying attention. She just chews gum, texts, tell stupid stories and is only worried about being done by Friday. I would hate to have her running a trial that decides the rest of my life.
I know! Once she knew the press was going to be filming this trail she decided to put on a show!
Sometimes a witnesses explanation for a yes or no answer can say so much!!
I strongly dislike these defense lawyers
I would have totally complained about that judge. She's one of those I imagine defence and prosecution dread having her on the docket because of her absolutely weird and bipolar attitude. She's like a teacher telling a student off for getting something wrong -_-
*Judge to the jury* - “My widdle babies need their bwankies and cookies!” 👶🏽

Hahaha. Yep.
I don’t like the way this judge is handling the witnesses!...It was making me nervous just to watch this!...Ms Brit was being so nice and she was TRYING to do what the judge wanted, but that old defense attorney was being VERY confusing with his questions...And I WANTED to hear what she had to say!...
Wow this judge is unbelievable!! I get it, it’s her responsibility to keep order. But that isn’t keeping order, she us downright rude to WITNESSES!!! They aren’t trying to lie or deceive. Both these women are out of there comfort zone and trying to answer to the best of there ability. She could tell them kindly how she expects them to answer. But dang they didn’t murder this girl, they didn’t cover it up, they didn’t do anything wrong. I wouldn’t want to testify her court room!
This judge is something else
I live in Pensacola and read about this so sad and uneccesary. Tragic..sending love to her girlfriend and loved ones
The judge is so quick to rush the witnesses and lawyers but so winded about her life and the jury
She seems to love the spotlight in some lame way.
@Ruth James I was thinking the exact same thing! Her Possum story, her trip to the dentist, walking her Great Dane, but when it comes to the witnesses, Chop, Chop, we are pressed for time, so just answer yes or no. She is awful! And chewing gum to boot!
The Britt family really like to talk, they seem intent on making sure Ashley is written off the family estate. Lol
She needs to be. All of her actions have hurt so many people. During this trial she was already serving a 7yr prison sentence for the Arson of her Family's Business, to hide records that she has not paid companies that were supposed to be paid. She stole money and left a child without a Mother just so she can spend it all on some guy that she was cheating with on her husband. She is an awful human being. I am glad she will wake up everyday in a cell.
@@SouthPawGirlieI keep hearing about her being incarcerated before this murder trial how did she walk into those two interviews on her own with the detectives she wasn't incarcerated at that time that's what's confusing to me 🤔
Kara Britt was sort of hostile with the defense attorney even though she's kin with Ashley. Britt must be angry that Ashley torpedoed her wedding business dumping a body there.
Can you blame her???
Straight out the gate this Ashley is a no good CSI. She is not the brightest bulb burning. She should have taken a plea if one was offered
@@SDandRnRoll Taylor was a private investigator from the write up on on law crime site where you can watch it live streaming. ASHLEY was a CSI. Regardless they were both thieves. Taylor stole from her ex, and Ashley stole from Taylor as well as murdered her because she spent the money.

I'm sorry for your horrible experience, Cassandra.
This judge has made one too many cutesy jokes for my taste. This is a heartbreaking murder trial, not a comedy show - totally get the concept of maintaining a positive mood but making jokes when the witness is on the verge of tears crosses a line of professionalism and basic empathy. Just my opinion ✌🏼
She's really awful
She’s horrible! She also babies the jury and is a bleep to the witnesses
I agreeeeeee❗👍
Only people who could access Taylor’s phone were Taylor, Casandra, & the person who had control of Taylor’s dead fingertips…Ashley.
This judge is ridiculous!!! She babies the jury, as well as the defendant. Then she treats the witnesses like crap!! What a joke!!
The judge wants to get home before the hurricane and labour day
This judge is the WORST and I've seen MANY trials!
Thank you L&C
It really does mess up jurors if the witnesses elaborate in any way. One question to Ms. Britt was about a year/date, and she included information about the purpose of a trip (son's college), what they did (helped him unpack), what day of the week they arrived, and what day of the week they left. By that point, I'd COMPLETELY forgotten the year which was the only question that was asked. This is a simple example of how extraneous information can derail the attorneys and make the jury lose focus on the crucial bit of information that the attorneys want them to know. If this happens repeatedly, the jury starts to focus on the personality and background of the witness they're "getting to know" due to all of the extra details. It also lengthens the trial (every little bit adds up), which can cause jurors to become tired and inattentive. Some witnesses either see this as their 15 minutes of fame, or they want to be "helpful," not trusting that the attorneys and police and judge have it covered.
Most dont get how a court needs to work
But i agree with you!
You should see the Nancy brophy trial for the perfect example of letting witnesses and defense just chat chat chat on and on and on some more!
It's the job of good attorneys to reel in the witness. Yes - No questions, and a multitude of objections.
That's why you have a pen and paper.
Sending love Cassandra 💜👑💜 Be strong xx sending healing hugs 🥰✨🌙 xxx
Would be funny if the judge gets on you tube to see the trial coverage and comments! 😀😛
Maybe she'll see it as a reason to change a bit.
The older attorney appeared to nearly fall asleep at one point as he was shuffling papers for an awkwardly long time. Then the judge sort of had to wake him up. He might need to retire.
I just made the most disgusting and disturbing realization.. I had already seen Cassandra's interview and I've seen this trial before but for some reason I was like, wait, how did Ashley even get into Taylor's phone if it was fingerprint locked. Then I realized. I felt physically ill
She used her finger after she was dead...
You've seen in movies where people will physically cut someone's finger off.. but i doubt Ashley did that.. Ashley most likely used Taylors finger (post death) she then could have gone in and changed it to NO lock.. so she didn't have to use Taylor's fingerprint...
The phone was never closed
The judge is making the witnesses nervous
Can’t figure out what’s with the judge and the jurors? She almost seems to coddle them...I find it odd, most judges I’ve seen, seem to almost ignore them.
Great prosecutor!!
The defender attorney is so wishy washy!!!!! I have a hard time trying to figure out what the hell he is asking???

Good lord. She needs to retire already, you can tell she’s just over this “judge” thing.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍
His question if she saw anything is pointless...the FACT is there was a body there!
I *think* they're trying to suggest that it wasn't there when the family was clearing brush, so it's possible someone else murdered her later and buried her there to try to pin it on Ashley,during a time when there is no evidence that Ashley was out there. It's a ridiculous stretch, as is most of this defense.
The judge was inexplicably slow to intervene or admonish (as she has has been strict to do with everyone else) Kara Britt - Ashley's aunt - when she rambled. And that witness was the one who most needed reminders to stay in topic.
Maybe if colonel Sanders didnt speak like he was a 5 year old chewing on dirt it would have been easier to answer his questions. I would have walked off stand. Between him and the judge I would have been infuriated. If a "yes" or "no" answer is not probable to the question I would refuse to speak under oath.

What’s the point in repeating the same exact questions by both sides? The answers don’t change. It doesn’t prove or disprove anything. It’s almost like they have nothing at all to cross examine about so they slowly repeat each damn question for no reason what so ever. It makes no sense. None. I could see if it lead somewhere or if it was asking because of lies. But it’s not. It’s just wasting time and it’s frustrating as hell.
I don't like the way that defense attorney is asking questions almost accusing her of being in a volatile attitude.
Ugh well that stinks. We can't see the laser pointer as she's describing her property.
Ikrrr ughhh I even zoomed up still couldn't see anything
Wow... if I was testifying & this miserable judge kept snapping on me to "JUST ANSWER!!!! 😈" yes or no, I'd keep saying "neither of those options is the correct answer, if I can't give a unique answer I'd be guessing" for every single question

I don’t know if it’s just me but I thought the judge initially had a really lovely unusual way about her. But her demeanor towards Casandra Waller feels hostile, curt, abrupt & cold for no discernible reason. Ms Waller is an excellent witness, polite, logical, and respectful towards the court. Is it me or does anyone else think the judge may be judging this woman for being gay? I’m just really not liking it.
I know we’re in the South here -but yesterday I picked up - during Prosecutors opening, that the prosecutor was careful in the way she brought up the victim was formerly married to a man and was now involved with a woman.
Ugh.
I just think as they are getting into the trial, she is putting on her game face, so to speak.
I agree with the above comment and would add that the prosecutor raised that to avoid later confusion of the jurors. Not everyone has an awareness of relationships like that, moving from one gender to another.
