Watching these videos makes me appreciate my freedom, my apartment with wack water pressure, my gf, my friends and all the possibilities that lay ahead of me. Life is good.
@David Lopez I pray to the goddess every day to keep me safe from major fuckups like this one....in a twinkling it can all be taken away...remember this....act accordingly to see that it does not happen to you...rip to all murder victims...
I swear judges do that on purpose man. They know talking about simple things like “watch out for the weather and free to go home” is a small reminder to the murderer that those things will never apply to them again
With "people" like her, the "money" itself is just a part of their evil, so the amount doesn't matter, they're narcissistic and would kill even for $500 if they felt it was justifiable, their belief system is so warped and evil, that the ONLY thing they care about is their selfish, narcissistic needs, and I know because I was engaged to a narcissist like her. After investing $100,000 into her and her children who weren't mine, she threatened to kill me with a knife and meant it, thankfully, I got out before she could do so in my sleep.
I got showed a graphic add of a texting and driving accident. I was so scared to even get in a car. I’m okay now but it was a little to frightening for nine and ten year olds
Wow, the judge was truly in charge of her courtroom and the audience knew it. Graceful, up front, and appreciative of her jury. Much respect to you, your Honor.
I agree as per prior to the verdict. Once the verdict was rendered, she should have given the defendant the choice to leave the court room prior to her rendering all the mundane things she covered - though beneficial to you and the jury perhaps more so. It was unnecessary that a defendant there and have to hold her emotions any longer than she cared to.
Maggie Margaret The person she shot thought Ashely McArthur was her friend. It’s very disturbing. If she wanted her emotions to be considered she shouldn’t have killed. Imagine she was a man that killed the woman would you care about his emotions? You might still but just a thought.
You are so right. Taking a human life is too easy for some people. An armed combatant is necessary but it is still a human life eliminated. I do not understand the ability to kill for money - jealousy etc.
OCS DEVIL DOG you are correct and no one or no thing is worth my freedom. She should have just told Taylor she spent her money. The consequences would have been less harsh than a life sentence. Oh heck no!
4:00 look at the sheer differences in these two women’s reactions. One (in the green) who loved the victim hardly able to hold herself together, and the one who took the victims life away. Wow ice cold
Yeah. One is happy, sad, grieving. The other is sad she has to go to prison. Unbelievable how cold she is. Over some money. Blows my mind what people will do to get some money.

I clicked on this video with absolutely no knowledge of this defendant or case, you summed it up perfectly! Thanks for taking the time to do that, I really appreciate it!
Not at all, modern society is another prison if you are an unattractive male, society despises you, people automatically put obstacles and you remain less than a prisoner, might as well justify that unfounded hate that society has to all unattractive males
The judge is just so graceful, I really like her a lot. She is able to exert complete control over the audience and everyone in the courtroom. Her words, her posture, her style and her profound compassion about being a judge is what make her unique and different from any other judges.
@@dorisbrannon5141 that would be nice, if she knew her place and stayed there. The moment she threatened people with contempt she proved herself a crooked scumbag. Judges don't get to conjure law on a whim, no matter how noble they think the notion. In that moment she traded actual justice for a facade. Pathetic!
I love how the judge addressed the court room before the verdict was read. I have not seen that from any other judge before. The way she addressed the jury afterwards as well, thanking them with specific examples too. This judge is well spoken and she speak extremely clear and percise without having to raise her voice in order for the entire court room to hear her.
I have seen that sort of closing with more judges in the last few years - that said it is reasonable to remember that what we see 'streamed' is not necessarily all. I think if you know in your heart you are guilty and your counsel talk about that with you ( and any good defense team would) You would expect to hear it - not every sentence but the overall nature. Juries often have a meeting with the jury after a trial has finalised to take on any concerns - not about the trial so much but about their own individual issues or difficulties emotionallly.
It's pretty heartbreaking seeing Cassandra right behind Ashley trying her hardest not to break down and Ashley just sitting there looking empty like I get waiting to break down til ur alone but the empty look is just unsettling
@@tommyhemlock7915 thanks for that info... I looked at some other UA-cam's videos on this case and it explained the relationships. Cassandra was having a tough time keeping her emotions controlled. I can't begin to try to understand how each 'side' feels.
I think freedom is precious! I can go and do things I want even though I have no money! The birds flying, the sunshine on my window, buying my groceries; and cook what I want to eat; see or call my friends anytime; see a movie anytime; all these things are better than the $34,000!!! Helping a friend is happiness to me!!!
I thought the judge was ridiculously obsequious toward the jurors, constantly and unnecessarily praising them for simply sitting there and listening. I would run through a brick wall to get away from her!! *This trial took ONE WEEK, ffs!* Typically, juries sit through _WEEKS and MONTHS_ of trials for first degree murder, and even second degree, with thousands of exhibits to keep straight instead of the maybe 25 exhibits here….this trial was the fastest and easiest trial I’ve ever watched, and I’ve watched at least 50.
@@sandraday6955 FYI it was more to it than that. Her ex Husband stole $ from her. It was from the accident she had. Then a judge wanted her to split what was leftover from that. Crazy stuff.
ive been on two juries one was a murder, they treat you extremely well as a juror. I did have one female guard at the door who was garbage, but she is nothing the actual important people treat you well.
LOL that would have been so painful for the defendant - just told she was guilty and then has to listen to 10 minutes of the jury being thanked while she sits there and has to stew with the fact shes going to jail but without actually being told that and having it explained by the judge.
Cassandra 💜🙋🏻♀️🕯 you don’t know me.... I wanted to say I cried with you, I felt your pain but of course not yours entirely. You are wonderful, you are loved, your composure during testimony was incredible. Well done to you beautiful lady. You poured your heart and soul into solving this alongside the brilliant detective work. I want to salute you. May you heal as best you can, breath again, find comfort once again and ultimately find the future love and happiness you deserve. You’re awesome, truly. So admirable. 👑 Rest in peace Taylor. 🌈💕🕯🐾🌱 ❤️💕🌱🐾✨🌙 ❤️
We also live within a society and justice system that holds certain truths to be evident; one of those being the ability of the human heart, body and soul to be rehabilitated. Without that belief, people either fall into the ill(mentally unfit) or irredeemable (inherently evil)., and as such, members in the second class should be put to death. I'm not dictating pro's and con's, mind you...
Yeah it doesn't make sense. If you watch a bunch of those true crime shoes (Forensic Files, etc.) you can see the range of sentences people get for these carefully planned 1st degree murders. 15 years for that guy, life for that guy. It's inconsistent.
Me too! They kind of gave it away with “sentencing” lol. I feel sorry for Taylor’s girlfriend Cassandra or Cassie. You can see her trying to keep it together.
@@erinm3980 in gonna look out for ya in future trials. I've noticed a very specific group of us chatting comments back & forth. You are absolutely at the top of my list!!! Sorry about the sentencing part but it really couldn't be avoided. It was already public knowledge that if she was found guilty it was the ONLY sentence.
Nikki Thank You So Much! I ALWAYS like what you have to say! And, I was kind of joking about the “Sentence” title we all knew it was inevitable. Best Regards Always 😊
A man once said "there's a little larceny in all of us." This woman had everything she needed for a good life. It's mind boggling how twisted things can get.
I cannot begin to imagine what it’s like to be convicted of 1st degree murder then having to listen to the judge chat lightly with the jurors about the weather before telling them they’re free to go. Ouch. A well-deserved ouch of course, but ouch nonetheless.
First you have to be able to kill Someone . Then you can sit through a casual conversation after being convicted and suffer as deserved. She’s a sick , evil human being.
Judges are too freakin casual... This is a courtroom, not a soapbox. Keep it formal & professional. Judges think they can do whatever they want & that they're above everyone else. Watch all the judges on UA-cam getting pulled over who think laws don't apply to them.
I had a female roommate who tried to kill me for moving out on her. She used a hammer and knife on me. She could have been sent to a mental health institution for the criminality INSANE, but she didn't want to be classified as crazy. She died in prison
@David Vance , the woman she stole from and killed, took money she wasn't supposed to, in order to hide it from divorce proceedings so that her ex-husband would not be able to get part of it. she gave the money to mcarthur to hold and mcarthur killed her.
Thank God, justice was served in this case! I know that there may not have been a lot of people there that cared too much about Taylor, but I do and no matter what anyone does or doesn't do in their lifetime, nobody deserves to die this way. Cassandra, I cannot imagine how incredibly difficult this whole ordeal has been for you. I give you so much credit for continuing to fight for truth and justice. Your heart obviously hurts, and I'm sure you feel so unbelievably betrayed and I'm sure, that after going thru this nightmare, you will question everyone that becomes your friend in the future, but try to believe that there are good people out there (most people are not like Ashley.)
Always disappointed when they don't have the camera on the murderer when the verdict is being read. We don't need, or want to see the clerk reading it.
She is an outstanding Judge paying compliments to all. Explaining things to the people in the court etc. Giving the Jurrors the time to explain what they can do after. She is a Great Judge!
What’s hard for me when watching McArthur’s stone face as the jury is being polled, is seeing the contrasting pain and grief in Cassandra’s face, right behind her!
Woah, chill out man lol. That's ridiculous to think that being laid off leads to murder.. I may be broke, but I have common sense. In addition, addictions to murder....not having a shitty vehicle u idiot.
@@Jimmy911ism Bro he’s just enjoying what he has in life- not that serious. I think think this guy is making the best of his situation. And I respect it. I apologize for interrupting this, but I believe that he seems like a decent guy.
For the comments I've seen asking what she did and what she received - She is found guilty of premeditated murder. She got premeditated life for murder and minimum 25 years for the firearm. Unfortunately, I did not hear the words "without parole." 😢 Prayers for the family. 🙏🏼
She was no friend...a friend doesn't do that to another friend....Ashley is cold hearted, she saw an opportunity to become $100,000 richer and acted upon it. Very Sad
When someone murders another there is never just one victim, ever..... It radiates out into the families and loved ones on both sides, they automatically become victims too and are suffering a prison sentence in their minds for life. The murderer has taken their lives too. Don't kill. Don't kill. Don't kill.
The way she arrogantly pushed the door open after being handcuffed and led away strutting down the corridor in her heels, makes me think that she is not remorseful at all....
So true!!!! Especially South Florida crazy with the women. This lady here is just an example. Y’all have heard of “Florida man”... but he doesn’t come close to the crazy women here!!! Bats*%# Crazy and will kill you, chop you in to pieces, burn you to ashes and then bury you!
That poor lady sitting in the audience is heart broken. I felt bad for her. Not sure whose side she was on, but regardless she is hurting. Prayers for her and all those involved or affected.
She seemed so annoyed and inconvenienced when Taylors aunt was reading her victims impact statement. No remorse whatsoever. She's a cold and calculated killer.
She is in a state of shock, frozen. She could have been outside enjoying the simple things in life like going to the grocery store, making some tea in the morning, watching tv even with the annoying commercials we hate in normal life. Lifting her head up to the sun when it's a nice day etc. Probably dawns on her that all those simple yet so important things called freedom are gone! Now she can sit and rot in jail thinking about that and for what?! She chose to end this poor woman's life and her own. Pfff I will never understand these kind of things.
Me neither. I agree with you that she definitely looks like it is finally hitting her that she is going to rot in prison at least for the next 25 years. I'm sure she probably is reflecting on everything she threw away. Alot of times we look at the murderers and it is hard to tell if they are experiencing any emotion at all. She was greedy and and she could have just told Taylor she stole the money-or used it- and arrange a way to start paying it back. Worst case scenario Taylor filed charges or sued her for the money. She didn't have to kill her over it. Now she will waste the rest of her good/40's and 50's years in prison. IF she ever makes parole what can she do with her life when she gets out? She has always been a ho/slut two timing cheating type of woman so.......
I have one child, I always remind her that no matter what she is going thru she should always call home. We as parent always want to trust our children to get out there but when things like this happens it breaks my heart for both sides. We should always know what's going on in our children's life no matter how old they get. 😔
The saddest thing is watching the face of the woman (Mother?) behind Ashley as the jurors are individually queried about their verdict @ 4:19 . The immense pain is almost overwhelming.
It was the victms girlfriend. They were living together at the time of the crime. Her interview with police is also on UA-cam and extremely Heartbreaking to watch.
She shot her best friend, Taylor Wright, in the back of the head and then buried her on the victims family’s property underneath concrete; she killed her best friend for $34,000.
@@Slamber77 Wow that seems like such a trivial amount to do something like that for... I saw a video where they even have her on camera purchasing the bag of cement.
I find it encouraging that the judge thanked the jury with complete sincerity and understanding. I have done Jury service twice in the UK and neither judge thanked us, the Jury, for serving (both cases were distressing) despite one case continually being interrupted adding 3 weeks to proceedings. Claims for expenses were minimum confusing and akward to access.
Lol yea I agree jury duty isn’t easy or fun but also people are people. Not robots. Trying to expect zero reactions for verdicts goes against everything we know about the brain. We can’t even always control reactions. That’s just a fact.
and ego,bias toward the citizens in the general court.but praise for the jury that "worked so hard"on this case. been on juries and if you think it is hard you've been living under your bed.
Seems people like to be disempowered. And she’s full of herself and like to point out how great her and her staff are. Came off as rude in my eyes. This is not a kindergarten. Even at the police she pointing fingers and telling not do this and that.
During the jury poll, The girlfriend of Taylor battling her emotions and almost breaking down, while Ashley sat there stone faced was extremely telling.
So true. That's how our English teacher in High School taught us to pronounce the days of the week. But very few are doing this. Thank you Judge, it is nice to hear someone talking that way.
@@freshmemes8540 not I. But look it up in the dictionary. A lot of Southerners, for some reason, say 'Mondee' Tuesdee' etc. My point is it is the actual pronunciation of the days of the week, except Sunday. That is pronounced 'Sunday'.
The only knock i have on her is that she stated publically where people could find the lawyers. Like....give them a package with that info dont state it on broadcast
I'm so glad to hear from people who totally believe in the after life cause it's when we see God in the flesh, in the meantime He bless us with you and others on earth who has faith, love and beliefs in Him to do good will to others till we see Him one day. God bless you dear friend in Jesus 🙏💯
No it will be this life, if you make it to paradise, God saw your heart and you remained in his light and recieved everlasting life, not ever getting sick not ever dying not ever losing a friend not ever having tears of pain not ever being in pain you will be in life forever never to die. You just do good in all the days you have left into judgement day.
A pretty good one I think but yes it could be better but ... dont just look at the bad deeds of a few to judge the rest of the world based on them ...please .
I find it hilarious how in many of these cases after handing down a life sentence, they're always like, "Oh, and apart from spending the rest of your life in jail, you also gotta pay like $500 in fines and costs."
I despise the modern justice system's habit of asking people not to respond at pain of being held in contempt. These are hugely emotional results and people should be allowed to respond when justice hits. It shouldn't be sanitised simply because a judge doesn't like a human reaction. You cannot adjudicate human emotion.
This judge is awesome! She really rules her coutroom and was very kind and made everyone understand the importance of process of trial.she taught me how much work goes into a fair trial!!! She rocks!

@Shelley Fitch isn't she the girlfriend of the victim ? Cassandra? That testified. Pretty sure that's her. Why she would be sitting there behind Ashley I dont know. Maybe her family is so disgusted with her that they didn't come and the spot was free.

When the judge says 'you're free to go home' to the jury, Ashley felt that

Life is a lot less stressful when you don't kill somebody.
Not at all, modern society is another prison if you are an unattractive male, society despises you, people automatically put obstacles and you remain less than a prisoner, might as well justify that unfounded hate that society has to all unattractive males
The judge is just so graceful, I really like her a lot. She is able to exert complete control over the audience and everyone in the courtroom. Her words, her posture, her style and her profound compassion about being a judge is what make her unique and different from any other judges.
very nicely put. good words
You're right. Dome of them are real stinkers.
She seemed ok. The problem is her threatening everyone with contempt. Judges, including her, are a-holes.
I have practiced law 40 years and most Judges are competent and compassionate and very protective of their jurors.
@@dorisbrannon5141 that would be nice, if she knew her place and stayed there. The moment she threatened people with contempt she proved herself a crooked scumbag. Judges don't get to conjure law on a whim, no matter how noble they think the notion. In that moment she traded actual justice for a facade. Pathetic!

The judge is a class act.
I love how the judge addressed the court room before the verdict was read. I have not seen that from any other judge before. The way she addressed the jury afterwards as well, thanking them with specific examples too. This judge is well spoken and she speak extremely clear and percise without having to raise her voice in order for the entire court room to hear her.
the judge usually always thanks the jury.
👍
That is standard
They always say nice things about the jury, our system etc
I have seen that sort of closing with more judges in the last few years - that said it is reasonable to remember that what we see 'streamed' is not necessarily all. I think if you know in your heart you are guilty and your counsel talk about that with you ( and any good defense team would) You would expect to hear it - not every sentence but the overall nature. Juries often have a meeting with the jury after a trial has finalised to take on any concerns - not about the trial so much but about their own individual issues or difficulties emotionallly.
It's pretty heartbreaking seeing Cassandra right behind Ashley trying her hardest not to break down and Ashley just sitting there looking empty like I get waiting to break down til ur alone but the empty look is just unsettling

That’s what I was thinking. Actually, I’m sad for her.
I think freedom is precious! I can go and do things I want even though I have no money! The birds flying, the sunshine on my window, buying my groceries; and cook what I want to eat; see or call my friends anytime; see a movie anytime; all these things are better than the $34,000!!!

One of the best judges I have seen...Fantastic job here. If I was a juror, I would run through a brick wall for this judge.
I thought the judge was ridiculously obsequious toward the jurors, constantly and unnecessarily praising them for simply sitting there and listening. I would run through a brick wall to get away from her!! *This trial took ONE WEEK, ffs!* Typically, juries sit through _WEEKS and MONTHS_ of trials for first degree murder, and even second degree, with thousands of exhibits to keep straight instead of the maybe 25 exhibits here….this trial was the fastest and easiest trial I’ve ever watched, and I’ve watched at least 50.

ive been on two juries one was a murder, they treat you extremely well as a juror. I did have one female guard at the door who was garbage, but she is nothing the actual important people treat you well.
Almost all judges do that in jury trials.
LOL that would have been so painful for the defendant - just told she was guilty and then has to listen to 10 minutes of the jury being thanked while she sits there and has to stew with the fact shes going to jail but without actually being told that and having it explained by the judge.
They usually do.

I wish all judges could be this thoughtful and considerate.
I can never understand a verdict of 25 years on a 1st degree. Life for a life. 100 years with no parole.
We also live within a society and justice system that holds certain truths to be evident; one of those being the ability of the human heart, body and soul to be rehabilitated. Without that belief, people either fall into the ill(mentally unfit) or irredeemable (inherently evil)., and as such, members in the second class should be put to death. I'm not dictating pro's and con's, mind you...

@@sandraday6955 Exactly! Never ever tell anyone how much money you have. That was her first mistake. And the way things turned out, it was her last.

When someone murders another there is never just one victim, ever..... It radiates out into the families and loved ones on both sides, they automatically become victims too and are suffering a prison sentence in their minds for life. The murderer has taken their lives too. Don't kill. Don't kill. Don't kill.
The way she arrogantly pushed the door open after being handcuffed and led away strutting down the corridor in her heels, makes me think that she is not remorseful at all....

This speech before the verdict was read led me to believe she was gonna get away with murder. Nah, she was giving that speech to her family.
One day, all of us will face the great judge, God.
She seemed so annoyed and inconvenienced when Taylors aunt was reading her victims impact statement. No remorse whatsoever. She's a cold and calculated killer.
.. NJ
She definitely rolled her eyes.
Yea whaman are like that, especially western whaman
I'm not sure of that. I think she lost all faith in her life at day 2 of the trail when she stopped taking notes and realized she could not explain
She’s pretty though.....reminds me of William’s wife, Catherine.
She is in a state of shock, frozen. She could have been outside enjoying the simple things in life like going to the grocery store, making some tea in the morning, watching tv even with the annoying commercials we hate in normal life. Lifting her head up to the sun when it's a nice day etc. Probably dawns on her that all those simple yet so important things called freedom are gone! Now she can sit and rot in jail thinking about that and for what?! She chose to end this poor woman's life and her own. Pfff I will never understand these kind of things.
Me neither. I agree with you that she definitely looks like it is finally hitting her that she is going to rot in prison at least for the next 25 years. I'm sure she probably is reflecting on everything she threw away. Alot of times we look at the murderers and it is hard to tell if they are experiencing any emotion at all. She was greedy and and she could have just told Taylor she stole the money-or used it- and arrange a way to start paying it back. Worst case scenario Taylor filed charges or sued her for the money. She didn't have to kill her over it. Now she will waste the rest of her good/40's and 50's years in prison. IF she ever makes parole what can she do with her life when she gets out? She has always been a ho/slut two timing cheating type of woman so.......

She's the girlfriend to the woman who was murdered.
