This is the third time I've watched this trial, and at this part I always have a vivid image in my mind of Chandler, sweating and sick with insomnia, dark rims beneath both eyes, wearing basketball shorts and nothing else, crouched over in that dark and red swelteringly hot room, poking and prodding at the fire and setting up fans while his mother and fathers heads are burning out of control in the fireplace, as his dog is curled up watching all of it nervously and scared.
I've said repeatedly I bet you when those fireworks went off those dogs were all the more terrified bc they had heard the shots and knew or saw him kill them and it triggered their anxiety. Horrible horrible evil human.
I’m watching it for the first time and same. It’s so disturbing. I can’t even imagine looking into the face of the parents who gave you life as their head burns and you chop the rest of them into pieces. Sickening that anyone can do this.
Yes..I sure did. Knowing what he was doing made me a little sick. Then when the fire grew larger, I wondered if he was putting an accelerant on the fire or another body part..and now we know that when a human body burns, it smells like pork..🤢. this boy is pure evil..no emotion whatsoever!!! I think he went to trial wondering in his mind, what all they actually found.. he thought he was sooo smart...but they have proved just the opposite. I also believe he had plans on killing his brother at a later time.. sending him a bullet of all things, to him while he was in the hospital..?? Glad he was arrested before he could hurt anyone else..this whole thing is heartbreaking!!💔
Just terrible. I had four children and just could not fathom this. I lost a child two years ago this weekend in an accident and mostly got interested because of the trial factor and having to go to trial with the truck driver who killed my son but watching that video was horrifying in what looked to me like him rusting around in the room and going back and forth. Very sad. I feel terrible for his brother, i am broken hearted for his innocent soul.
The "Flickering Window"detective's testimony is fascinating. The meticulous attention to detail gets better every time I watch it - 3 times now. I wrote down the key moments in the video during the process of the 4 hours when the fire was seen mainly in the fireplace window, but right from the beginning at 1218 am both the fireplace window and the tv window are lit up and at times the garage window light is as well. When the blaze dies down then blazes again, it is terrifying to think that is the time he is adding his parents' body parts to be incinerated. As the garage window remains on, this sequence begins at approx 1:14 am. Then the garage light is turned OFF. He did the ghastly dismembering in the garage, put the body parts in the fire, it blazed again and he goes back into the garage and then back into the fireplace room. You can follow his steps and trace each time he adds his parents' body parts by the flickering to raging fire that at times glows in every window close to the fireplace room. At 2:10 am the fire rages; it seems out of control. At 3:00 am the kitchen window, kitchen door,fireplace window and tv window are ALL ablaze from the power of the fire! Did he want to set the house on fire? The grand finale is at 4:15 am for just a brief minute. Mr. Lynch is the hero here for noticing the flickering fire in the windows on his security camera. I can't imagine being in that courtroom with this monster. Diabolical!
I’m a year late but your summary is fantastic. Especially as someone who has a real weakness in understanding relatively subtle, and complex, video footage, thank you for this summary.
This trial was so impressive. Chandler was kind enough to be too dumb to even start to get away with it and left a perfect trail of evidence leading directly to himself.
@@stepheneurosailor1623 You're quoting Chandler, priming Cat for the news that he didn't get his fictional job at SpaceX so they can't move to Florida. No doubt followed up with issues getting the fictional deposit back on the fictional apartment. Everything he said and did was to manipulate people into giving him money or paying for things for him because of his constant "bad luck" aka lies.
WOW. All the law enforcement officers and prosecutors in this case are SO smart, competent, highly trained, and hard working. I am way beyond impressed.
@@kailoveskitties That’s completely fair. Chaz is definitely not very bright and/or possibly has some sort of mental illness. I find it completely bazaar that his girlfriend’s mom and partner offered him a job and a house that they could live if they paid rent and as he explains it to detectives he seems repulsed by the idea. He thinks that murdering his parents, dismembering and disposing of them a better idea. 🤷🏻♀️
@@ms.emotions he was never made to grow up. He didn’t want to work or pay anyone anything and be an adult. Resorted to murdering so he didn’t have to change his lifestyle. He’s disgusting I agree
I am so pleased with this channel and this narrator guy. I like his style and presence, no nonsense unbiased approach is trustworthy and refreshing in today's media world.
I usually fast forward right through the commentary but I really like this guy's style. He gets right to the point and doesn't add his over dramatic two cents. Subscribed.
Hi Amy Over dramatic two cents. Brilliant. My new insult. In my head it makes someone absolutely tacky with their over dramatic cents that amount to just two. Lol. Anyway, I am coming through it all. I have never cried this much. It's PARENTS. Chaz -- the poster child for cowardice. Take care and Happy Easter if you believe in this guy named Jesus. 😊
The fireplace part is so disturbing that i'm actually scared in my own appartment. The more i learn about this case the more absurd it is. I just can't fathom it !
Chandler had no idea, as he was running back and forth to the garage to get gas, that in 6 months the whole world would be watching him burn his parents’ heads…
This man needs to plead guilty and tell what he did to his parents and where the remaining body parts are. Save the state taxpayer dollars and most of all his family- brother, grandparents, uncles/aunts, parents' friends the nightmare of a trial this is!!
The recovery team was wondering if some of the parts were swept away from the river, based on his phone GPS, but I think one of Krista's turned up somewhere yesterday. I guess their normal son has to see these updates when he thinks it's a normal day..
@@lisainthelab yes and his girlfriends mom recently found an axe hidden in their barn. It took 6 months for something to shift enough to notice it in the wall. I'd move before the next surprise.
This channel and the IT guy commenting is really well done! Someone give that guy a raise. I’m sure trial reporting isn’t in his job description but maybe CourtTV needs another host? 😉👍🏻☺️
Unfortunately Wisconsin abolished capital punishment at least a century ago. I was curious how he was able to plead not guilty, make no statements, ultimately lose the trial by light years and still get off on a life sentence. A burden to taxpayers.
This is like a story out of a Hollywood horror show or something…wow how heinous and the the story line of what leads to such gruesome details, the porky smells seeping throughout the neighborhood, seeing the flickering of the fire in hot July weather, the bone fragments, God Bless those poor parents, to have a child like this.
To be fair, their dysfunctional parenting is partly responsible. I would never want to see anyone murdered and of course they didn't deserve it, but it took many years for him to end up this way. He was coddled and catered to his whole life. This was not the first time he lied to them, but they made excuses. It is not healthy for children to think they can do no wrong and to not suffer the consequences of their actions in life. In addition, parents who baby their adult children like that are showing a lot about themselves. For his mom to say he made her day by waving goodbye to him speaks volumes. His reply? Buy me some soda in the way home. She knew what he was like, but was likely enmeshed and codependent. Unfortunately, the parents paid the ultimate price.
This trial made me want to move to Dane county Wisconsin for the exceptional competence of their law enforcement officers, district attorneys, and the incredible judge. I’ll be in good hands if any foul play happens to me or the loved ones….
He killed his parents at the house with former police officers living all around him. Chandler is bold il give him that. To be a mother and to know Krista knew her baby boy was killing her how heartbreaking
It is absolutely unbelievable a child could do this to his parents; not that there could ever be a reason to justify this crime but he did it because his lies were found out…..Crazy
Sorry, I can’t agree with bold…selfish physically grown child, having a tantrum because nothing is going his way. And I’m trying to be polite. His parents had to see somethings just weren’t right with their son. He clearly needed help…i believe they never thought him violent or dangerous to them. The horrible sickening feelings they must have experienced when their child violently attacked them. 😞
@@mattrowland3477 sorry, a lot of children/teenagers suffer from all kinds of emotions growing up.. doesn’t mean you go and kill, dismember and scatter their remains all over the place..
@@Talby67 I'm not talking about emotions, I'm talking about legitimate mental illnesses. If those things go unchecked for too long, this kind of thing can happen. Look at the Ethan Crumbley case in Michigan.
Those poor dogs were probably so hot and breathing in all that smoke. I’m surprised they weren’t sick. I believe they knew what happened to their parents. So sad. Chandler didn’t care. He just cut them up like if it was nothing. How could he look in their faces. Eww
I was one who saw the pictures of the fathers discovered torso, but that was nothing compared to seeing that fire flicker and knowing exactly what was happening. That was very creepy
@@stephaniecooke541 Just an FYI the pictures were shown in error on Law and Crime. Then people copied and pasted the pictures in Reddit. So many people said they wished they had not seen the picture! So I haven’t looked yet.
My heart goes out to all who were subjected to the discovery, recovery and analysis of all this evidence. How can human beings commit such atrocities? It’s sickening to just talk about the details. How do you not go completely mad and fall apart?
Every witness has the same expression of sadness and bewilderment . This is why law enforcement and witnesses to this kind of horrific crime suffer from PTSD My heart goes out to all law enforcement and victims in this situation
@@LourdesGzz Yes, a young guy, brown hair, was walking in Walmart today, up here in Kamloops BC, Canada! He had a dark baseball hat and was carrying a box of Swiffer refills!?! 😳☺️ My heart stopped and then I thought I’d better take a break from this case😁🌷🌷 What was Chandler so angry about? Sounded like he was afraid of Bart? But why kill his mom too? She sounded really nice.😕
@@lorischellenberg3219 While his mother might have appeared "nice", she was a very dysfunctional parent. Chandler was coddled and babied throughout his life, did not face appropriate consequences, was bailed out repeatedly, and was catered to. He was raised in a way to where he ended up so self absorbed that he no longer has "a conscience". He's literally incapable of thinking of anyone but himself. His parents didn't deserve to be murdered, but their parenting style directly impacted how Chandler turned out. Unfortunately, they paid the ultimate price. I could be wrong, but his girlfriend sure seemed like she was filling in where his mom would have left off. She babied him, had no expectations of him and refused to believe he was lying. All bad signs.
I agree…. I started watching expecting to just skim through but 3hrs later I was like WOW. Id say its very interesting but that sound disrespectful considering the reason he is giving evidence 😬
The judge said in his closing statement that this investigation and trial put Dane County on the map. He was right. I'm from Europe, a random true crime fan, having watched a host of trial videos (mostly I skip through large parts of them 🤫), and I'm subbed to a few true crime channels. Then of course I the Halderson case got covered by my favorites, and I began to be quite interested in the background of the murders - Chandler's character from a psychological point of view. (I'm a behavioral therapist by occupation) So one thing led to another, and I ended up watching the Halderson trial recently. Sounds strange, as this is a murder trial after all, but I must say I'm blown away. The judge, the prosecutor, the investigators, the expert witnesses, the structure of the trial and the presentation of evidence and witness testimonies, the whole thing in general - world class. I got so invested in all this that I googled the judge, the deputy D.A., the D.A. (saw his statement on Row v Wade❤), the County Sheriff, etc. What a diverse, competent, smart, knowledgeable group of people! Wisconsin (or, at least Madison Co) seems like an amazing, progressive part of America. (Another detail that shouldn't even be something that's worth mentioning, and yet unfortunately it is, that one of the local news channels' reporter was a lady wearing a hijab. You don't experience that in today's America too often.) Anyway, kudos to Madison DaneCo, WI 💜 You're definitely on the map
I can’t believe how science has advanced these days. EVERYONE even remotely considering some kind of crime should watch these shows. They would think twice about committing it. Now, I understand that insanity is just that, INSANITY but, your crime will find you out, not worth it. The ONLY THING I feel sad about is the fact that Wisconsin has no death penalty. This (very sick) man needs to answer for his heinous crime with his own death…I’m sorry.
He is so dumb. He made every mistake in the book. Thank God that he did. He’s a monster and everyone knows it. He never worked so hard in his whole life like he did when dismembering and hiding evidence. Chores? He should have worked and gone to school. He threw it all away and his loving parents.
i never watched this trial bc i think a different one was on at the time that i was more interested in, but i have to say…. this trial has some of the most thorough & incredible investigative work i’ve ever seen in a case. everyone did an outstanding job investigating this horrific crime & dane county should be so proud of their law enforcement & prosecution team… also, this judge is tops! he’s right up there with judge newman (murdaugh trial) & judge werner (stauch trial). i hope to see him in more cases someday! also, chandler halderson is an absolute monster! so reminiscent of the joel guy jr. case 😬
Wow the level of competency and professionalism of the video analysis expert in this case stands in stark contrast to the ludicrous garbage in the Rittenhouse trial where the state's "expert" barely knew how to click buttons in a "certified" computer program.
ok this guy is clearly lacking some intelligence.... he literally left a trail of clues all leading back to him. nothing he did made since. He clearly had no real game plan and im not sure he has the capacity in his brain to think even 2 steps ahead to form a plan, because if he did he wouldnt have carried this out.
Chandler is so detached from this whole ordeal I almost feel like he is just an observer or a member of the jury he's so out of it and in la la land. He's probably juat soaking it all in learning all the forensic stuff along with everybody else thinking,wow, that's neat
6:40 After hearing about the neighbor smelling Chandler's mom or dad cooking in the fireplace, the defense attorney seriously questions her career choice.
What this kid did is shocking! It pushes our understanding of human beings, u can be sure that a limited amount of ppl could do what this kid is doing. for example even a skilled surgeon would be bothered by what this kid is doing.. with all do respect to the unbelievable work that surgeons do!!!!👍
As I was watching, I thought: C had no idea, as he was running back and forth to the garage to get gas, that in 6 months the whole world would be watching him burn his parents’ heads…
Can you imagine, him sitting in the dark, in the middle of the night, with the remains of his parents, trying to burn bits and pieces… this makes me so sick. I wonder if he has had nightmares about that 🥶
The lady typing in front of the witness box has the coolest retro hair do! I love that teased high bun! Just helped take my mind off the horrible testimony of the pork smell. 😝😧😝😧😜🤪😬🤐🤭🤭🤭
Wonder how his gaming friend from the military feels now knowing that he gave him that firearm as a gift. He even gave him an ammo box full of rounds too. I guess you could say that Chandler befriended him and knew what he was going to do once his lies were found out by his dad. For a 23 year old, Chandler always wanted people to do things for him to include his mom, girlfriend and others. Cat should have known something was wrong when he stated he was grounded; come on... Most still living at home with their parents in their 20s would come out and say they lied about something but Chandler wasn't mature enough to manage those come clean talks. He had to have other reasons for killing his parents or his IQ was minimal; maybe both.
@@3_up_moon When Chandler told the police lie after lie including easily disproven ones, I was reminded of Casey Anthony. Both are pathological liars & think they are the smartest person in the room.
I'm not sure I've seen anyone have so much evidence against them. Especially not one who goes through with the whole not guilty bollox. All he could have done to redeem himself in any way. Was to accept his guilt and save everyone from having to see and go through this. And yet he couldn't even do that. What a utter loser.
There goes the property value , good luck on selling that house, two people's heads burnt up in the fireplace and two bodies chopped to bits all over the house, might as well plow the house down and rebuild, no one is going to buy that house EVER.
The place is a dump, pretty sure anyone who bought it would be gutting it or total tear down regardless of it’s history. It’s a nice chunk of land tho, maybe the brother will keep it?
I'm actually surprised he didn't blow up the whole fireplace and the house from the extreme temps that occurred from BBQing flesh. So disgusting and macabre.. shoot, chop up and bbq...why???? I'm sick thinking about what those poor dogs experienced . Who has them now??
Reading through the chat while watching this was giving me brain damage just like Chandlers. There were so many people who couldn't figure out the difference between the early hours of friday morning and friday evening ight. Or they just wanted to place Cat at the house at the time he was burning his parents heads, because for some reason they really want her to be implicated.
I had 2 stop watching the chat. They were like this on every video day during this trial. I was shocked at how disrespectful it would get at times. Half the time they are not paying attention at all. Not everyone mind u but a good majority acted this way.
He definitely didn't involve her he knew she would hate him for it. He did all of this to try to keep her and hide his wrongdoings. Like an IDIOT. he's a sick human and she definitely had NOTHING to do with any of it.
I already knew that Chandler had murdered his parents and dismembered them and burned parts of them in the fireplace but seeing this grisly proof of that action makes me think CH is nothing less than a monster or he could never have done that to ANYONE much less his own parents. I cannot imagine how disturbing some of these testimonies were to members of the Halderson family who were sitting in the courtroom listening to all of these horrifying details of the deaths of their loved ones. In her victim impact statement, his grandmother begged the judge to allow Chandler to apply for parole somewhere down the line, but Mitchell's fiancée said just the opposite in her VIS. She asked the judge to NEVER let him out because she said she would never feel safe if he were let out. I hope this difference in opinion does not cause an irreparable rift in the Halderson family. They need each other more now than they ever have before, and I hope they do not let the behavior of this one defective and EVIL human being tear their family apart. I pray they all join together even stronger and can find some peace and contentment in the future.
her granddaughter how is she because i no chandelier had no kids and he’s brother could have teen daughter so what grand her to say to let him is crazy
He was recreating a funeral home environment. He killed them and wanted them cremated ASAP. If neighbors wanted to see the bodies, he would have given them a showing. ;)
Human brain is mostly fat, it may surprisingly burn quite well once the water content has vapourized but I dont know, Im not a psyuchopath. The thought that he not only beheaded the folks that raised him but then took the heads in his hands and placed them in the fire with god knows what expression on their faces is...its just next level messed up.
I bet Chandler is replaying that whole night in his sick mind and seeing this video he sees all the mistakes he made! The main mistake was killing them! Too many people loved these two ! Bart & Krista had long time solid friendships, they were like family to their friends.
If the DA in the Rittenhouse trial really wanted to prove Kyle was aiming his gun with the “zoomed in and edited” photo he would’ve hired this guy to testify.
All lights flicker in this video. The dining room, kitchen window, door, fireplace and TV windows all flicker. Any light would flicker even TV being on as you can see when the kitchen and dining room lights are on and when the yard starts to lighten, that flickers too. Defense lawyer missed an opportunity to question that.
That flickering light. Amazing they got that footage and so freaking sadddd that's when he was likely doing the most vile and gruesome act to the people who loved him with their own lives.
This trial is so professional almost too good to be true. Everyone is so well prepared, respectful. The state and the defense are even cordial towards each other almost like we are working for justice here. I have watched so many trials as it’s almost like my guilty pleasure. I just love the law, especially when done correctly. This is almost perfect. Did not expect this in Wisconsin. I simply do not know enough about the state. My condolences to the families all affected due to the most heinous crime, they seems like great and loving parents. If I were a psychiatrist specializing in psychopathy, this would be the perfect case. I almost feel like this could not have been the first and only incident. In my humble opinion. He picked a vulnerable girl friend with self esteem or self value issues. Mexican ethnicity was a sense of shame. Chandler had no real friends to speak of but for the one online friend. Whose gift upon meeting in person for the first time was a rifle? There is no way he manipulated and lied his way through life unrecognized. His father was a CPA and his mother was a helicopter or doting mom. Parents know their children and denial was easier then taking action.
I enjoyed your comment. Against popular belief Wisconsin has a lot of very intelligent and thoughtful people. The one neighbor lady who commented she turned off the notifications so her husband didn't get hit with constant notifications due to an influx of packages, she is total Wisconsin. That's what a majority of the people here are like. I thought she had a great deal of personal charm. Only in Madtown.
This case reminded me of Bart Whitaker from Sugarland TX who killed his mother, his brother fortunately his father survived, he is on death row, he lied about graduating from college
That was a horrible case. Bart even allowed his parents to take him to a fancy restaurant to celebrate his graduating from college and he accepted a Rolex watch from them as a graduation present, all the time knowing he did not graduate and knowing a friend of his was waiting inside his house to kill his family as they walked in. But if you look at pictures that were made, I believe the evening of the celebratory dinner, you can see that he is clearly flipping off whoever was taking the picture...his mom? his dad? This guy is another monster and a fledgling serial killer.
yup and he’s dad forgave him and is married with a daughter and they visit him that is cruel to he’s wife and son have no respect he as evil has he’s son i have no respect for the dad and he’s new family
@@sandym2427 You're funny. The judicial system is no weaker, appeals are always filed for murder convictions. And if it's a death penalty case the appeal is automatic, until all appeals are exhausted or the Defendant withdrawals it. Been like that for half a century.
He will be convicted, he'll file an appeal like everyone does, it won't get overturned, and he'll still be appealing it when he's 80. But this case has the best chance I've seen in years of an appeal succeeding, leading to a new trial. Not because of his council, they're still on cross-examination so we haven't even seen them present their case yet. But Chandler testing positive for Covid means he can claim he unable to focus. If he can't aid in his own defense, or focus on what's happening, the trial should not be happening.
Ok so did he intentionally leave that bone fragment there? Bc how would he go about cleaning out that whole fireplace and rebuilding the fire without disturbing or seeing that chunk!!!!!?
I bet one of the dogs did it. I'm just kidding lol. Yeah who knows. This guy left so much evidence around. Speaking of dogs. Where were they while he was murdering his parents. The things they heard and saw....
How? Just how did he think he was gonna get away with it? He didn’t clean up anything completely! His lies got bigger and more stupid! He honestly sounded like he had it all made if he wasn’t such a self centred narcissist!
I can't figure out why he went through the trouble of burning up their heads! He still had their bodies to contend with. Wouldn't it have been less troublesome to go dig a hole someplace in the woods and bury their heads? In any case, I think he had somewhat of a plan ever since he was given the weapon and was giving his girlfriend the impression that she was not welcome without express permission from his parents. He was setting her up as his timeline alibi. I'm watching this a year after the ruling so there's much I may have missed.
He burned their hands too... identification? And I think he was setting up Cat and family... body on their land...Target bags with Cat's name on it filled with bloody rags..gun in their barn...sick guy and Cat is lucky she didn't question him 😢
I agree .. How come none of the many many people that visited the house notice anything - his girlfriend, brother, friend’s twin daughters, police. I had read somewhere that the smell of burnt flesh or burnt hair stays for a really long time
I wonder how long it would have taken the police to catch him, had it not been a public holiday and his plan of dumping all the evidence at the tip worked?
the judge is so polite and kind....im sure not stupid...definitly a old hippie...hes calm..his tone...let me go to my chambers and get my medical pot...oh ye..comence...seriously hes a calming force
Heard the term embarrassment of riches ? This case qualifies... embarrassment of evidence, ie so much overwhelming evidence. Short of chandler videoing his crimes. That's all that is missing here.
Someone mentioned in chat how disengaged Chandler and his lawyers are. Joel Guy jr had a similar non-existing defense but he did communicate politely with his lawyers and a few times was whispering with them and telling them what to ask or not like when they cross-examined his roommate/boyfriend. Now Chandler seems to have zero communication with his counsel. He does seem to follow proceedings closely albeit stoically though. And seems to note stuff. Maybe they asked him to write down anything he deemed to be important. I remember Grant Amato seemed to often be scribbling or drawing stuff randomly inbetween. At least it looked like that. Some defendants do write letters during court.
Grant's image was staged and attempted to be manipulated for the jury. The drawing, the oversized shirts to make him appear smaller. The prosecution objectected when the line was blatantly crossed by the defence trying to make him appear younger and more naive by sitting him down with a colouring book. Sign of no defence - multiple murderer who wouldn't look out of place in aliens vs predator, hairline receding for 2 decades... And the the defence strategy is to make the defendant appear to be young? Lol
@Milla Rose Just to make my final point in the chat. I agree most people don’t what a human body smells like. However, let me put it this way, let’s say have been dating someone for 2 years and visit his home frequently. You now have this strong pungent smell for the first time, it’s unlike anything you have ever smelled. It’s not just a smell of a fire and it smells like “pork” would you notice it? Would you ask where this god awful smell is coming from and how? The closer you are too it the more intense that smell is. She was at his home the day after the fire. The smell would be everywhere and ever so strong. So I’m not suggesting that the girlfriend was directly involved. I haven’t seen the evidence for it. However, my humble opinion is that she simply knows something, that she isn’t disclosing. Chandlers behaviour as noted by all the neighbours and more importantly long term family friends was that it was seriously unusual, to the degree it made everyone seriously uncomfortable and uneasy. Why didn’t she pick up on that either? Everyone else seems to have noticed it but her. That’s why it doesn’t add up.
True. I thought the same too. The smell of burned body fat in that house for one, and his actions. I think Chandler could not have planned it all alone. He might have killed his parents, but he certainly doesn’t seem capable enough to finish the whole job alone.
Honestly, I would have never picked up on that. Who walks around thinking your boyfriend killed someone just under your nose? I would have actually joked, "uuuggg what did you burn here?!" (jokingly), I would have believed any explanation he would have giving me 🤷
Totally agree with you. I have a feeling she knew or had a sense. She was probably just in disbelief and didn’t know what to do. You can tell she is extremely traumatized. 😕

Chandler is such a genius. His neighborhood was full of retired cops.
He really did think he was smarter than everyone.
When your attorney doesn’t even cross exam 95 % of the witnesses in your double murder trial you know you’re going to prison
I mean, what is she typing? Doesn’t even look like she’s paying attention! I’m guessing she’s a public defender?
Correction: you know you're never GETTING OUT of prison...
This is the third time I've watched this trial, and at this part I always have a vivid image in my mind of Chandler, sweating and sick with insomnia, dark rims beneath both eyes, wearing basketball shorts and nothing else, crouched over in that dark and red swelteringly hot room, poking and prodding at the fire and setting up fans while his mother and fathers heads are burning out of control in the fireplace, as his dog is curled up watching all of it nervously and scared.
I've said repeatedly I bet you when those fireworks went off those dogs were all the more terrified bc they had heard the shots and knew or saw him kill them and it triggered their anxiety. Horrible horrible evil human.
I’m watching it for the first time and same. It’s so disturbing. I can’t even imagine looking into the face of the parents who gave you life as their head burns and you chop the rest of them into pieces. Sickening that anyone can do this.
This is the most vivid thing I’ve ever read
ugh, this is a chilling picture!
@therealz360z7that’s the most terrifying part. Not one person saw anything like this coming and not one person saw the evil living inside him.
Is it only me or did anyone else have an eerie feeling watching that flickering light! Those poor parents...RIP.
Yes..I sure did. Knowing what he was doing made me a little sick. Then when the fire grew larger, I wondered if he was putting an accelerant on the fire or another body part..and now we know that when a human body burns, it smells like pork..🤢. this boy is pure evil..no emotion whatsoever!!! I think he went to trial wondering in his mind, what all they actually found.. he thought he was sooo smart...but they have proved just the opposite. I also believe he had plans on killing his brother at a later time.. sending him a bullet of all things, to him while he was in the hospital..?? Glad he was arrested before he could hurt anyone else..this whole thing is heartbreaking!!💔
Just terrible. I had four children and just could not fathom this. I lost a child two years ago this weekend in an accident and mostly got interested because of the trial factor and having to go to trial with the truck driver who killed my son but watching that video was horrifying in what looked to me like him rusting around in the room and going back and forth. Very sad. I feel terrible for his brother, i am broken hearted for his innocent soul.
@@daphneashton1283 so very sorry for the loss of your son.
The "Flickering Window"detective's testimony is fascinating. The meticulous attention to detail gets better every time I watch it - 3 times now. I wrote down the key moments in the video during the process of the 4 hours when the fire was seen mainly in the fireplace window, but right from the beginning at 1218 am both the fireplace window and the tv window are lit up and at times the garage window light is as well. When the blaze dies down then blazes again, it is terrifying to think that is the time he is adding his parents' body parts to be incinerated. As the garage window remains on, this sequence begins at approx 1:14 am. Then the garage light is turned OFF. He did the ghastly dismembering in the garage, put the body parts in the fire, it blazed again and he goes back into the garage and then back into the fireplace room. You can follow his steps and trace each time he adds his parents' body parts by the flickering to raging fire that at times glows in every window close to the fireplace room. At 2:10 am the fire rages; it seems out of control. At 3:00 am the kitchen window, kitchen door,fireplace window and tv window are ALL ablaze from the power of the fire! Did he want to set the house on fire? The grand finale is at 4:15 am for just a brief minute. Mr. Lynch is the hero here for noticing the flickering fire in the windows on his security camera. I can't imagine being in that courtroom with this monster. Diabolical!
Incredible
Thank you for this!
I’m a year late but your summary is fantastic. Especially as someone who has a real weakness in understanding relatively subtle, and complex, video footage, thank you for this summary.
Our boy Chan never worked that hard in his life
😂😂😂
The name is Chazzledazzle! True story!
This trial was so impressive. Chandler was kind enough to be too dumb to even start to get away with it and left a perfect trail of evidence leading directly to himself.
@@stepheneurosailor1623 why are you so obsessed with Cat? You’re always commenting about her.
Stephen sure is obsessed with Cat 😸
@Stephen Eurosailor I don't think so
@@stepheneurosailor1623 weird weird person
@@stepheneurosailor1623 You're quoting Chandler, priming Cat for the news that he didn't get his fictional job at SpaceX so they can't move to Florida. No doubt followed up with issues getting the fictional deposit back on the fictional apartment. Everything he said and did was to manipulate people into giving him money or paying for things for him because of his constant "bad luck" aka lies.
WOW. All the law enforcement officers and prosecutors in this case are SO smart, competent, highly trained, and hard working. I am way beyond impressed.
I've been fascinated since the beginning, simply just watching in amazement at how much evidence there is, and how they put it together.
To be fair… you don’t have to work very hard to outsmart Chaz Halderson. That seems clear now lol
@@kailoveskitties That’s completely fair. Chaz is definitely not very bright and/or possibly has some sort of mental illness. I find it completely bazaar that his girlfriend’s mom and partner offered him a job and a house that they could live if they paid rent and as he explains it to detectives he seems repulsed by the idea. He thinks that murdering his parents, dismembering and disposing of them a better idea. 🤷🏻♀️
Indeed! 👏
@@ms.emotions he was never made to grow up. He didn’t want to work or pay anyone anything and be an adult. Resorted to murdering so he didn’t have to change his lifestyle. He’s disgusting I agree
Notice how Chaz's attorneys never seem to even speak to him or acknowledge him at all. Never seen that before.
Maybe he told them that he doesn't care because he now knows his life is over.
You know the jurors see that, too
His attorneys really haven't done anything this whole trial. Even that opening statement was generic. I've never seen a defense table so quiet. 😳

Hi Amy
Over dramatic two cents. Brilliant. My new insult. In my head it makes someone absolutely tacky with their over dramatic cents that amount to just two. Lol.
Anyway, I am coming through it all.
I have never cried this much.
It's PARENTS. Chaz -- the poster child for cowardice.
Take care and Happy Easter if you believe in this guy named Jesus. 😊
*Combing through it all*
The fireplace part is so disturbing that i'm actually scared in my own appartment. The more i learn about this case the more absurd it is. I just can't fathom it !
Not what Bart & Krista had in mind the day baby Chandler was born. Good Lord, have mercy.
Chandler had no idea, as he was running back and forth to the garage to get gas, that in 6 months the whole world would be watching him burn his parents’ heads…
I wondered why the garage...thought it was where the parts were...just horrid!!
@@June-tb4vi I think he was going to the garage to get more tools
@@kjs8383 that too. But a couple of times right after the garage lights go on, there’s a huge blaze in the fireplace.
Lied, shoot, chopped, burned, thrown… things a child should never do to their parents.
To any human being!
@@happymv5350 specially parents
@@nicoleloves9483 - I agree. I can't imagine what would bring a child to do this to another person, especially their parents.
This man needs to plead guilty and tell what he did to his parents and where the remaining body parts are. Save the state taxpayer dollars and most of all his family- brother, grandparents, uncles/aunts, parents' friends the nightmare of a trial this is!!
I hear you, but I doubt that murderer is remotely concerned about "saving anyone" anything but himself.
The recovery team was wondering if some of the parts were swept away from the river, based on his phone GPS, but I think one of Krista's turned up somewhere yesterday. I guess their normal son has to see these updates when he thinks it's a normal day..
@@AliceA333 just yesterday?? Wow
@@lisainthelab yes and his girlfriends mom recently found an axe hidden in their barn. It took 6 months for something to shift enough to notice it in the wall. I'd move before the next surprise.
They have found the mother
This channel and the IT guy commenting is really well done! Someone give that guy a raise. I’m sure trial reporting isn’t in his job description but maybe CourtTV needs another host? 😉👍🏻☺️
He is beyond intelligent and well spoken. A rare gem!
He should be underneath the jail for what he’s done. Absolutely horrific
And no remorse
He will probably be among friends there, but not all will be friendly
Unfortunately Wisconsin abolished capital punishment at least a century ago. I was curious how he was able to plead not guilty, make no statements, ultimately lose the trial by light years and still get off on a life sentence. A burden to taxpayers.
This channel along with the guy who occasionally narrates is probably the best I’ve watched so far.
So glad I found it !
This is like a story out of a Hollywood horror show or something…wow how heinous and the the story line of what leads to such gruesome details, the porky smells seeping throughout the neighborhood, seeing the flickering of the fire in hot July weather, the bone fragments, God Bless those poor parents, to have a child like this.
i hope he makes zero dollars on his "story"
@@ulahula7997 It's literally illegal for him to profit off this.
@@sinatra222 Omg I Never Knew That. Wow Thanks x
To be fair, their dysfunctional parenting is partly responsible. I would never want to see anyone murdered and of course they didn't deserve it, but it took many years for him to end up this way. He was coddled and catered to his whole life. This was not the first time he lied to them, but they made excuses. It is not healthy for children to think they can do no wrong and to not suffer the consequences of their actions in life. In addition, parents who baby their adult children like that are showing a lot about themselves. For his mom to say he made her day by waving goodbye to him speaks volumes. His reply? Buy me some soda in the way home. She knew what he was like, but was likely enmeshed and codependent. Unfortunately, the parents paid the ultimate price.
Usually watch Law & Crime for trials. Thoroughly enjoying your channel! Like the recaps. Good job,James. Will look for your coverage again
I don't think I've ever been more convinced of someone's guilt
Maybe Casey Anthony.
That opening statement was all I needed. It was perfect and if a movie is made that needs to be the preface of the movie and book.
@@maryannanderson2213 Look up Joe Guy Jr! These two should should have a birth control pill or device named after him.
@@marcyeaglecloud7345 Exactly what I thought. Some producer just has to buy it and, voila, instant movie.
This trial made me want to move to Dane county Wisconsin for the exceptional competence of their law enforcement officers, district attorneys, and the incredible judge. I’ll be in good hands if any foul play happens to me or the loved ones….
Foul not fowl lol. Fowls are birds
That poor neighbor…he tried so hard not to liken the smell to pork being barbecued!
He killed his parents at the house with former police officers living all around him. Chandler is bold il give him that. To be a mother and to know Krista knew her baby boy was killing her how heartbreaking
It is absolutely unbelievable a child could do this to his parents; not that there could ever be a reason to justify this crime but he did it because his lies were found out…..Crazy
Sorry, I can’t agree with bold…selfish physically grown child, having a tantrum because nothing is going his way. And I’m trying to be polite.
His parents had to see somethings just weren’t right with their son. He clearly needed help…i believe they never thought him violent or dangerous to them. The horrible sickening feelings they must have experienced when their child violently attacked them. 😞
I think these kinds of things can happen when mental health issues go untreated for too long.
@@mattrowland3477 sorry, a lot of children/teenagers suffer from all kinds of emotions growing up.. doesn’t mean you go and kill, dismember and scatter their remains all over the place..
@@Talby67 I'm not talking about emotions, I'm talking about legitimate mental illnesses. If those things go unchecked for too long, this kind of thing can happen. Look at the Ethan Crumbley case in Michigan.

😢
Those poor dogs were probably so hot and breathing in all that smoke. I’m surprised they weren’t sick. I believe they knew what happened to their parents. So sad. Chandler didn’t care. He just cut them up like if it was nothing. How could he look in their faces. Eww
Insurance money maybe ?
Hey Chandler, that was quite a fire you built to keep you warm during that COLD July weekend...
He got a hankering for some S'MORES!

Sounded like he was afraid of Bart? But why kill his mom too? She sounded really nice.😕
@@lorischellenberg3219 While his mother might have appeared "nice", she was a very dysfunctional parent. Chandler was coddled and babied throughout his life, did not face appropriate consequences, was bailed out repeatedly, and was catered to. He was raised in a way to where he ended up so self absorbed that he no longer has "a conscience". He's literally incapable of thinking of anyone but himself. His parents didn't deserve to be murdered, but their parenting style directly impacted how Chandler turned out. Unfortunately, they paid the ultimate price. I could be wrong, but his girlfriend sure seemed like she was filling in where his mom would have left off. She babied him, had no expectations of him and refused to believe he was lying. All bad signs.
Sheriff's Deputy Scott Kuntz is a clear speaking excellent communicator. He is very knowledgeable and professional. His testimony is very impressive.
I agree…. I started watching expecting to just skim through but 3hrs later I was like WOW. Id say its very interesting but that sound disrespectful considering the reason he is giving evidence 😬
The judge said in his closing statement that this investigation and trial put Dane County on the map.
He was right. I'm from Europe, a random true crime fan, having watched a host of trial videos (mostly I skip through large parts of them 🤫), and I'm subbed to a few true crime channels. Then of course I the Halderson case got covered by my favorites, and I began to be quite interested in the background of the murders - Chandler's character from a psychological point of view. (I'm a behavioral therapist by occupation)
So one thing led to another, and I ended up watching the Halderson trial recently.
Sounds strange, as this is a murder trial after all, but I must say I'm blown away.
The judge, the prosecutor, the investigators, the expert witnesses, the structure of the trial and the presentation of evidence and witness testimonies, the whole thing in general - world class.
I got so invested in all this that I googled the judge, the deputy D.A., the D.A. (saw his statement on Row v Wade❤), the County Sheriff, etc.
What a diverse, competent, smart, knowledgeable group of people!
Wisconsin (or, at least Madison Co) seems like an amazing, progressive part of America.
(Another detail that shouldn't even be something that's worth mentioning, and yet unfortunately it is, that one of the local news channels' reporter was a lady wearing a hijab. You don't experience that in today's America too often.)
Anyway, kudos to Madison DaneCo, WI 💜
You're definitely on the map
In this case, the evidence was overwhelming. The investigation team did a great job, as well as the persecution. Well done.
Wow, Haldersons sure had a lot of retired law enforcement officers in the neighborhood
The neighbor with all the cameras was such a soft spoken man. Could barely hear him.
JAMIE....YES I LOVE HIS VERY SOFT VOICE....I WOULD FEEL SO COMFORTABLE IF HE TALKED TO ME...YES THE MAN WITH THE CAMERAS
RABLE
I can’t believe how science has advanced these days. EVERYONE even remotely considering some kind of crime should watch these shows. They would think twice about committing it. Now, I understand that insanity is just that, INSANITY but, your crime will find you out, not worth it. The ONLY THING I feel sad about is the fact that Wisconsin has no death penalty. This (very sick) man needs to answer for his heinous crime with his own death…I’m sorry.
Bring back the guillotine!
If anything the murders are going up and not down. Chazzledazzle deliberately disconnected Alexa so she wouldnt interupt or remember what He did.
He is so dumb. He made every mistake in the book. Thank God that he did. He’s a monster and everyone knows it. He never worked so hard in his whole life like he did when dismembering and hiding evidence. Chores? He should have worked and gone to school. He threw it all away and his loving parents.
i never watched this trial bc i think a different one was on at the time that i was more interested in, but i have to say…. this trial has some of the most thorough & incredible investigative work i’ve ever seen in a case. everyone did an outstanding job investigating this horrific crime & dane county should be so proud of their law enforcement & prosecution team… also, this judge is tops! he’s right up there with judge newman (murdaugh trial) & judge werner (stauch trial). i hope to see him in more cases someday!
also, chandler halderson is an absolute monster! so reminiscent of the joel guy jr. case 😬
Wow the level of competency and professionalism of the video analysis expert in this case stands in stark contrast to the ludicrous garbage in the Rittenhouse trial where the state's "expert" barely knew how to click buttons in a "certified" computer program.
Not to mention the underhanded tactic of giving the defense a degraded compressed copy that certainly disproved their theory.
@Channel 3000 / News 3 Now, make your banner smaller when they show the pictures on the big screen or take it away please. Thank you
ok this guy is clearly lacking some intelligence.... he literally left a trail of clues all leading back to him. nothing he did made since. He clearly had no real game plan and im not sure he has the capacity in his brain to think even 2 steps ahead to form a plan, because if he did he wouldnt have carried this out.
Chandler is so detached from this whole ordeal I almost feel like he is just an observer or a member of the jury he's so out of it and in la la land. He's probably juat soaking it all in learning all the forensic stuff along with everybody else thinking,wow, that's neat
It won't hit him until ten years from now.
Interesting, what kind of notes is he taking? "How I killed my mom and dad?" 😒
😂🤣😂🤣 I was thinking the same.
They will be questions he wants his attorney to address regarding peoples testimonies
Oh but he’s didn’t kill them because he’s a former Cub Scout and good person. 💩
How to cremate a body ASAP. ;)
I think he’s probably barely literate and is pretending to write. Or squiggling.
This is a nice home but I think it should be torn down. How in the heck could anyone ever live there knowing the horrors that took place.
Even the land it stands on is probably haunted by their ghosts now.
I wouldn't mind living there a happy life to honor the victim's lives. I am sure they have really happy moments there ❤
6:40 After hearing about the neighbor smelling Chandler's mom or dad cooking in the fireplace, the defense attorney seriously questions her career choice.
I think I would have to move! And I certainly will never go to a pig roast.
Has the defense team objected to anything besides potential hearsay in this trial up until now?
The defense has only objected with hearsay and speculation so far. They’ve hardly said anything.
They had nothing else to say
The gentleman who was stressed about putting in a pool....the poor guy must be in therapy over this on his camera 💔
What this kid did is shocking! It pushes our understanding of human beings, u can be sure that a limited amount of ppl could do what this kid is doing. for example even a skilled surgeon would be bothered by what this kid is doing.. with all do respect to the unbelievable work that surgeons do!!!!👍
He really plead not guilty smh! Does he enjoy all this? He is a creepy cold sick man
How good is the video/tech guy??!! Incredible…. Chandler had no idea who he would be dealing with
As I was watching, I thought:
C had no idea, as he was running back and forth to the garage to get gas, that in 6 months the whole world would be watching him burn his parents’ heads…
Can you imagine, him sitting in the dark, in the middle of the night, with the remains of his parents, trying to burn bits and pieces… this makes me so sick. I wonder if he has had nightmares about that 🥶
It makes me wonder how on earth he put their heads in there and watched that..the heads had to be on top of those logs..gruesome AF
God in heaven, how awful. 😭

I often wonder At which point did Cat finally turn her back on this mental case, and what the last convo sounded like…
It dang well wasn't soon enough! She and that disgustingly naive mom - sickening!
the state - you are charged with 1st degree murder.
the defense - No thank you.
😂😂
Watching the video evidence is chilling knowing that body parts are being burned in the fireplace.
Note to self: Might wanna close the curtains when burning Mum & dad in the fireplace.
The lady typing in front of the witness box has the coolest retro hair do! I love that teased high bun! Just helped take my mind off the horrible testimony of the pork smell.
😝😧😝😧😜🤪😬🤐🤭🤭🤭
Wonder how his gaming friend from the military feels now knowing that he gave him that firearm as a gift. He even gave him an ammo box full of rounds too. I guess you could say that Chandler befriended him and knew what he was going to do once his lies were found out by his dad. For a 23 year old, Chandler always wanted people to do things for him to include his mom, girlfriend and others. Cat should have known something was wrong when he stated he was grounded; come on... Most still living at home with their parents in their 20s would come out and say they lied about something but Chandler wasn't mature enough to manage those come clean talks. He had to have other reasons for killing his parents or his IQ was minimal; maybe both.
Hes the same kind of liar as Casey Anthony. Have you heard about what she did at Universal Studios with the police?
@@3_up_moon Casey had a way better lawyer than Chandler, so he can't pull the same nonsense.

I'm not sure I've seen anyone have so much evidence against them. Especially not one who goes through with the whole not guilty bollox. All he could have done to redeem himself in any way. Was to accept his guilt and save everyone from having to see and go through this. And yet he couldn't even do that. What a utter loser.
Probably for the attention, thought he was smart in burning them forgetting that there are specialists who will reveal his atrocious doings
He is a narcissist
Exactly, I think he's one of the dumbest murderers that I have ever seen
There goes the property value , good luck on selling that house, two people's heads burnt up in the fireplace and two bodies chopped to bits all over the house, might as well plow the house down and rebuild, no one is going to buy that house EVER.
It’s a sellers market right now they say 🤔
Some people may be fascinated by what happened.
People buy houses where murders take place because they think it adds character to the house. LoL
The place is a dump, pretty sure anyone who bought it would be gutting it or total tear down regardless of it’s history.
It’s a nice chunk of land tho, maybe the brother will keep it?
@@azhaircountess9798 A dump? They were in the middle of renovations! What would you expect it to look like?

The girlfriend
Video Forensics!! That's the best part of this trial.
they dont need a fire specialist just ask the murderer he can tell you first hand
He has a problem with telling the truth.
Reading through the chat while watching this was giving me brain damage just like Chandlers. There were so many people who couldn't figure out the difference between the early hours of friday morning and friday evening
ight. Or they just wanted to place Cat at the house at the time he was burning his parents heads, because for some reason they really want her to be implicated.
I had 2 stop watching the chat. They were like this on every video day during this trial. I was shocked at how disrespectful it would get at times. Half the time they are not paying attention at all. Not everyone mind u but a good majority acted this way.
Yep. It is painful, how stupid people are- on the chat. There would have been no reason to lie to Cat if she was in on it.
He definitely didn't involve her he knew she would hate him for it. He did all of this to try to keep her and hide his wrongdoings. Like an IDIOT. he's a sick human and she definitely had NOTHING to do with any of it.
Bad liar and good liar
He would’ve had better luck just burning the house down. 🤷♂️
I already knew that Chandler had murdered his parents and dismembered them and burned parts of them in the fireplace but seeing this grisly proof of that action makes me think CH is nothing less than a monster or he could never have done that to ANYONE much less his own parents. I cannot imagine how disturbing some of these testimonies were to members of the Halderson family who were sitting in the courtroom listening to all of these horrifying details of the deaths of their loved ones.
In her victim impact statement, his grandmother begged the judge to allow Chandler to apply for parole somewhere down the line, but Mitchell's fiancée said just the opposite in her VIS. She asked the judge to NEVER let him out because she said she would never feel safe if he were let out. I hope this difference in opinion does not cause an irreparable rift in the Halderson family. They need each other more now than they ever have before, and I hope they do not let the behavior of this one defective and EVIL human being tear their family apart. I pray they all join together even stronger and can find some peace and contentment in the future.
Do you know where I can watch the impact statements.
Sorry but it seems like it always does. Especially if someone doesn’t feel safe and someone doesn’t take it seriously.
her granddaughter how is she because i no chandelier had no kids and he’s brother could have teen daughter so what grand her to say to let him is crazy
Your comment makes no sense whatsoever!🙄
How in the world that gf wasn't suspicious of evil happenings... possibly shocked into denial. ?
And he never thought to shut the curtains 🤔
He covered the window in the basement.
I don't think he could always think clearly and because of that he worked sloppy.
He was recreating a funeral home environment. He killed them and wanted them cremated ASAP. If neighbors wanted to see the bodies, he would have given them a showing. ;)
Dumb as a post.
Nightmares are made form this.
Makes me so sick. How can these two defense attorneys have any defense whatsoever. The horror of it all
I kept wondering how no one heard the shots. Now I realize why. He did it in the basement. Sick sick sick
Human brain is mostly fat, it may surprisingly burn quite well once the water content has vapourized but I dont know, Im not a psyuchopath.
The thought that he not only beheaded the folks that raised him but then took the heads in his hands and placed them in the fire with god knows what expression on their faces is...its just next level messed up.
With so many retired law enforcement officers as neighbours - I am surprised nobody heard the gunshots?
It was the 4th of July, its just fireworks.
And it was in the basement.
I bet Chandler is replaying that whole night in his sick mind and seeing this video he sees all the mistakes he made! The main mistake was killing them! Too many people loved these two ! Bart & Krista had long time solid friendships, they were like family to their friends.
If the DA in the Rittenhouse trial really wanted to prove Kyle was aiming his gun with the “zoomed in and edited” photo he would’ve hired this guy to testify.
Was thinking the same thing 🤭, also that from that trial they LEARNED how to properly handle video analysis and interpretation. 👏
what kind of creature chops up their parents ?
Desperation, hate and just plain evil.
All lights flicker in this video. The dining room, kitchen window, door, fireplace and TV windows all flicker. Any light would flicker even TV being on as you can see when the kitchen and dining room lights are on and when the yard starts to lighten, that flickers too. Defense lawyer missed an opportunity to question that.
They didn't question anything really. The most words they spoke were "no, thank you."
I think they are going to admit to everything except the killing.
That flickering light. Amazing they got that footage and so freaking sadddd that's when he was likely doing the most vile and gruesome act to the people who loved him with their own lives.
Even without it they would have found the remains in the fireplace.
This trial is so professional almost too good to be true. Everyone is so well prepared, respectful. The state and the defense are even cordial towards each other almost like we are working for justice here. I have watched so many trials as it’s almost like my guilty pleasure. I just love the law, especially when done correctly. This is almost perfect. Did not expect this in Wisconsin. I simply do not know enough about the state. My condolences to the families all affected due to the most heinous crime, they seems like great and loving parents. If I were a psychiatrist specializing in psychopathy, this would be the perfect case. I almost feel like this could not have been the first and only incident. In my humble opinion. He picked a vulnerable girl friend with self esteem or self value issues. Mexican ethnicity was a sense of shame. Chandler had no real friends to speak of but for the one online friend. Whose gift upon meeting in person for the first time was a rifle? There is no way he manipulated and lied his way through life unrecognized. His father was a CPA and his mother was a helicopter or doting mom. Parents know their children and denial was easier then taking action.
Bravo
I enjoyed your comment. Against popular belief Wisconsin has a lot of very intelligent and thoughtful people. The one neighbor lady who commented she turned off the notifications so her husband didn't get hit with constant notifications due to an influx of packages, she is total Wisconsin. That's what a majority of the people here are like. I thought she had a great deal of personal charm. Only in Madtown.
Good insights. 100% agree that Chandler’s psychopathy would have likely been recognized by others along the way.
This case reminded me of Bart Whitaker from Sugarland TX who killed his mother, his brother fortunately his father survived, he is on death row, he lied about graduating from college
That was a horrible case. Bart even allowed his parents to take him to a fancy restaurant to celebrate his graduating from college and he accepted a Rolex watch from them as a graduation present, all the time knowing he did not graduate and knowing a friend of his was waiting inside his house to kill his family as they walked in. But if you look at pictures that were made, I believe the evening of the celebratory dinner, you can see that he is clearly flipping off whoever was taking the picture...his mom? his dad? This guy is another monster and a fledgling serial killer.
yup and he’s dad forgave him and is married with a daughter and they visit him that is cruel to he’s wife and son have no respect he as evil has he’s son i have no respect for the dad and he’s new family
No death penalty in Wisconsin 😭
OMG this is something out of a horror movie. What a monster. Prison is too good for him.
Hey true crime afficianados, please help me out. What day of the trial was the CORONERS REPORT please?
I pray 🙏 he is not going to file an appeal based on the lack of defense his defense is giving to his case. It's been done before.
You are correct. And our whole judicial system is becoming weak.
@@sandym2427 You're funny. The judicial system is no weaker, appeals are always filed for murder convictions. And if it's a death penalty case the appeal is automatic, until all appeals are exhausted or the Defendant withdrawals it. Been like that for half a century.
He will be convicted, he'll file an appeal like everyone does, it won't get overturned, and he'll still be appealing it when he's 80.
But this case has the best chance I've seen in years of an appeal succeeding, leading to a new trial. Not because of his council, they're still on cross-examination so we haven't even seen them present their case yet. But Chandler testing positive for Covid means he can claim he unable to focus. If he can't aid in his own defense, or focus on what's happening, the trial should not be happening.
This was my thought exactly, maybe that they were sitting back and doing nothing on purpose so he could appeal.
Yeah it was inadequate representation. Still the evidence is overwhelming so new trial would lead to same conclusion.
If there was skull FRAGMENTS, does that mean Chandler used a sledgehammer on his Dad and Mom's severed skull?
Ok so did he intentionally leave that bone fragment there? Bc how would he go about cleaning out that whole fireplace and rebuilding the fire without disturbing or seeing that chunk!!!!!?
Maybe he wanted a trophy as a sick reminder of what he did.
Exhausted
I bet one of the dogs did it.
I'm just kidding lol. Yeah who knows. This guy left so much evidence around.
Speaking of dogs. Where were they while he was murdering his parents. The things they heard and saw....
And in such a prominent place! Reasonable doubt? Prosecution has done an awesome job so far proving his guilt - very interested in the defence side
This is also the same guy who faked emails with inconsistent spelling and names for months
How? Just how did he think he was gonna get away with it? He didn’t clean up anything completely! His lies got bigger and more stupid! He honestly sounded like he had it all made if he wasn’t such a self centred narcissist!
He left a piece of human skull on top of the perfectly done up fireplace 😂😭 if it wasn't so tragic it would be hilarious.
I can't figure out why he went through the trouble of burning up their heads! He still had their bodies to contend with. Wouldn't it have been less troublesome to go dig a hole someplace in the woods and bury their heads? In any case, I think he had somewhat of a plan ever since he was given the weapon and was giving his girlfriend the impression that she was not welcome without express permission from his parents. He was setting her up as his timeline alibi. I'm watching this a year after the ruling so there's much I may have missed.
This girl is extremely lucky she wasn't a victim too. Very smart and kind. ❤ I hope she can heal her heart from this awfulness.
He burned their hands too... identification? And I think he was setting up Cat and family... body on their land...Target bags with Cat's name on it filled with bloody rags..gun in their barn...sick guy and Cat is lucky she didn't question him 😢
Wow so impressed with this witness, very credible. I wasn't even aware there's a video forensics expert 😳😳😳
How could the girlfriend not smell the smoke and pungent odor of flesh burning?😨
I agree .. How come none of the many many people that visited the house notice anything - his girlfriend, brother, friend’s twin daughters, police. I had read somewhere that the smell of burnt flesh or burnt hair stays for a really long time
Why he selected to BBQ the heads only ? Ughhh
I wonder how long it would have taken the police to catch him, had it not been a public holiday and his plan of dumping all the evidence at the tip worked?
the judge is so polite and kind....im sure not stupid...definitly a old hippie...hes calm..his tone...let me go to my chambers and get my medical pot...oh ye..comence...seriously hes a calming force
Heard the term embarrassment of riches ? This case qualifies... embarrassment of evidence, ie so much overwhelming evidence. Short of chandler videoing his crimes. That's all that is missing here.
The garage light going on for a bit...is that where he cut them up? Sorry if that sounds crude
Did you watch his interrogation? There were times he really incriminated himself and didn't even realize it.
Great channel and we have subscribed. God bless everyone.
Someone mentioned in chat how disengaged Chandler and his lawyers are. Joel Guy jr had a similar non-existing defense but he did communicate politely with his lawyers and a few times was whispering with them and telling them what to ask or not like when they cross-examined his roommate/boyfriend. Now Chandler seems to have zero communication with his counsel. He does seem to follow proceedings closely albeit stoically though. And seems to note stuff. Maybe they asked him to write down anything he deemed to be important. I remember Grant Amato seemed to often be scribbling or drawing stuff randomly inbetween. At least it looked like that. Some defendants do write letters during court.
They probably know he did it and are appalled.
I need to watch that Joel guy jr trial
@@azhaircountess9798 If you're a trial & True crime junkie and into abysmal cases I'd highly recommend it. A crazy gruesome case.
Grant's image was staged and attempted to be manipulated for the jury. The drawing, the oversized shirts to make him appear smaller.
The prosecution objectected when the line was blatantly crossed by the defence trying to make him appear younger and more naive by sitting him down with a colouring book.
Sign of no defence - multiple murderer who wouldn't look out of place in aliens vs predator, hairline receding for 2 decades... And the the defence strategy is to make the defendant appear to be young? Lol
@@azhaircountess9798 That’s definitely my next trial. Everyone keeps bringing it up
Chandler is just plain evil...
PRAISE TO ALL THE PUBLIC LAW ENFORCEMENT. STUNNING JOB. OUR GRATITUDE FOR YOUR UNRELENTING SERVICE. THANKYOU MANY TIMES OVER. FROM ASHEVILLE N.C.❤💯
@Milla Rose Just to make my final point in the chat. I agree most people don’t what a human body smells like. However, let me put it this way, let’s say have been dating someone for 2 years and visit his home frequently. You now have this strong pungent smell for the first time, it’s unlike anything you have ever smelled. It’s not just a smell of a fire and it smells like “pork” would you notice it? Would you ask where this god awful smell is coming from and how? The closer you are too it the more intense that smell is. She was at his home the day after the fire. The smell would be everywhere and ever so strong. So I’m not suggesting that the girlfriend was directly involved. I haven’t seen the evidence for it. However, my humble opinion is that she simply knows something, that she isn’t disclosing. Chandlers behaviour as noted by all the neighbours and more importantly long term family friends was that it was seriously unusual, to the degree it made everyone seriously uncomfortable and uneasy. Why didn’t she pick up on that either? Everyone else seems to have noticed it but her. That’s why it doesn’t add up.
True. I thought the same too. The smell of burned body fat in that house for one, and his actions. I think Chandler could not have planned it all alone. He might have killed his parents, but he certainly doesn’t seem capable enough to finish the whole job alone.
Honestly, I would have never picked up on that. Who walks around thinking your boyfriend killed someone just under your nose? I would have actually joked, "uuuggg what did you burn here?!" (jokingly), I would have believed any explanation he would have giving me 🤷
Totally agree with you. I have a feeling she knew or had a sense. She was probably just in disbelief and didn’t know what to do. You can tell she is extremely traumatized. 😕
@@purpleice7277 where did you see her cross examination? I have listened to every day's hearing and I haven't seen her. Did I miss anything?
