![ПОЛНАЯ ИСТОРИЯ ЭКЗОРЦИЗМА [Топ Сикрет]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qBySr6Bt0B8/mqdefault.jpg)
Seeing that little kid cry, and grab the lawyers hand, broke my freaking heart.
😢
Mine to. This little boy has to relive this trauma like this.
Mine too. Very hard to watch that!
Mine too. Heartbreaking scene.
Horses
I saw my father stuff oatmeal down by little cousin’s throat while my parents were babysitting her. She was less than 2 years old and I was 5 years old as I watched this. She was refusing to eat so he stuffed the food down her throat until the oatmeal came out of her little nose. Despite my young age, I knew this was a horrible situation. My mother tried to stop him but he continued. Luckily, she didn’t choke to death.
When I aunt and uncle returned home, I did my best to tell them. I was completely ignored and told to shut up as me being only a child.
It doesn’t take a grown up to understand that something horrible is being done. I was only 5 years old, and I knew.
I believe you. But that doesn't mean that boy's testimony is sound. Unlike you, who have a single version of that incident, he told MANY divergent stories about what had happened. Moreover, his step-grandfather, who hates the mother, was on the scene for full 30 minutes before the police arrived and is thought by many to have coached the child to incriminate the woman he hated. Finally, doctors who assessed him before trial said that at 6 years old, he was developmentally at the stage of a 4 and a half year old, an age at which children confabulate a lot.
Jeeeeeez wow
Where are they now? I have been this child once. 😂 Not oatmeal but rice. I refuse to eat, and mom probably get frustrated with me. Have a perfect relationship now and my mom fell sorry for that incident.
I'm so sorry you witnessed that. That's very traumatic. You are a good person
@@nastyiva8375Wtf are you even talking about? Laughing at child abuse?
The fact he was adopted instead of one of the grandparents taking him. I think says everything about that family.
Why didn't the family kick in and help this little boy? HUMM.
It's possible they were to old,maybe had health issues,maybe looking at the child everyday knowing their daughter was in prison for life. As a grandparent myself i couldn't answer for sure what i would do because this would be soul crushing for sure.
Maybe since he told on his mom
That is weird. Especially because the grandparents aren't that old.
Who knows what other incriminating story this kid would come up to destroy his parents.
I worry about those that took him inn ?
The girl CHOKED on water , not deep & screemed before mother realized what's the problem trying to muffle her face before she collapsed from choking.
My son told a story about our house burning down when he was in kindergarten. He had all the staff believing him. I showed up to pick him up from school, and I was like "What fire?" The school was getting ready to have a fundraiser. Kids do tell very imaginative stories.
The difference is..your house didn’t burn down. The girl is dead. And l believe the little boy.
Exactly…. Bodies do not float immediately after a drowning… it can take days …. She’s a liar and guilty
So she is not dead then?
Exactly !!!
A is sometimes X. Doesn't mean that A is never Y.
This child's tiny voice broke my heart. No child should ever experience such trauma.
no child should be interrogated & then forced onto the stand. Unbelievable. She passed her lie detector test!!!
He loved his sister more than anything and he is so strong for being her voice
@@ANANDALEEMAyou can lie in a lie detector and still pass. That’s why it’s not permissible in court
@@ANANDALEEMA zzzxbZVvZv

I was the same age as AJ when I was put on the stand as a witness to testify against my father for alleged sa. It never happened. He spanked me, but never sa. I remember one of the attorneys yelling "OBJECTION!" after I answered a question. It scared me, and I was hustled off the stand as fast as I was placed there. As I watch him testify, I am in physical pain and anguish, knowing what he is going through. Its been 40 years now, and after that day, my father and I lost 22 years together because he was convicted anyway. He passed away due to a hit-and-run in March 2020. Miss him every day.
That is so sad. Sorry you lost all of those years with your father. We can't replace our daddies.😢
@rasberryfields2132 Thank you for your kindness. Thought I knew what I was getting into when I chose this video today, I guess I didn't realize how much hurt it would cause watching him testify, and immediately remember my own childhood.
Miss my daddy a lot. Doctors tried saving his life, but there wasn't much they could do. At least I was there to hold his hand and tell him it was okay to let go. 🥺
In my country a mother coached the daughter to say she was sexually assaulted and the dad was arrested and jailed and they confessed after 30 yrs they framed him and he was released .... It was so sad 😢
No dna testing was done on the victim just the testimony.... I believe the first mother didn't do it
I believe this boy...he told the same story 1 hour after the event...and was brave enough to testify in court.
When he recognizes his mother in the courtroom... Literally heartbreaking 💔😭
He didn't recognize her until the state told him who it was.
The autopsy with hand markings on little girls face did it for me.
So if you fail a polygraph, ur guilty. But if you pass a polygraph, it doesn’t matter?
pretty much:/
Either result is inadmissible in court.
That’s why you should never take one. It can only hurt you
@@ryansack5198this.
right. and the boy said a lot of stuff like he shot his gun at his mom? did he call 9211 like he says his sister told him to? I mean they believe him saying Mom held her head down, did the face have bruises?
When that little boy looked at his mom and cried I lost it 🥹😥😥😥😓😓😓😓😓
Me too! I bawled 😢😢😢
Dude!😢
No same tho frfr. And I don't ever cry really. But something about that innocent little guy in his formal attire and the little "yes suh" and holding the adult hand....ughhhh it broke me
Yup, I got teary too. Such a darling little guy.
Yeah same,absolutely horrible.
Isn't it strange a little girl who is being drowned by her mother is screaming "Call 911"?! I bet she'd scream "No, momma, no!" or "Please stop!" or (less probably) "Help!".
"Call 911" is what you hear in the movies quite a lot...
Maybe she didn’t realise that her mom doing it. She my thought she’s drowning and shouted call 911. I think it’s a punishment that gone wrong
@@Aviator_Shaheen I mean it doesn't matter whether the girl was realizing what's going on or not. My point is kids don't yell 'call 911'. They scream No! or Help! IMHO
It is well known that neurodivergent children repeat phrases out of context, it is a form of echolalia. Adrianna was diagnosed with ADHD, a condition often associated with ASD as comorbidity and also running in the same families due to their genetic proximity. Therefore it is plausible that AJ is on the autism spectrum, then he would just have repeated whatever his grandparents or police officers fabricated to incriminate a woman they don't like (often the case that autistic people are hated because they are "different" and studies have shown that autistic mothers often have kids with ADHD)
We need to look at the evidence. I think that the kid is too short to see over the rim of the pool. If so, then his testimony is completely unreliable. Also, he might not know what CPR is or mouth to mouth resuscitation is.
That seemed unreal to me too
ABC News has a troubling article about this case called
"What A.J. Saw: Mother's Fate Hinged on 7-Year-Old's Testimony"
The boy changed his story so many times and so wildly that I don't understand how the court was able to accept his testimony. Furthermore, a 6 year old, he was assessed to have the mental and emotional maturity of a child of four and a half. Finally, his step-grandfather, who hated the mother, was on the scene 30 minutes before the police arrived and may have coached the boy to incriminate the woman he hated. The grandmother has since divorced him.
But for me, the most troubling thing is the fact that the boy told so many *wildly* divergent versions of what had happened, I was shocked when I read the article just now.
He never should have been put on the stand like that. It should have been in an empty room pre-recorded. My heart breaks for that poor boy. 💔
That's not how the law works. You have a right to confront your accusers for very good reason.
Children cannot testify in court.
1st Woman is innocent.
@@pennyp7382 The state was the accuser, not the child
he makes me cry, it is unbelievable
I have real questions about using a 7 year old as the one witness. Kids get confused sometimes and are easy to manipulate.
Same with adults. Look at MAGA.
Same with adults. Look at Radical Left, Demoncrats
yes, very true, it is very well known apparently in the psychologic field, they should have dug more into that
They are easily manipulated or maybe he just believed that’s what he saw.
But little kids tell the Truth!! That's not something you would just lie about!!
When Piers asked how she felt when she had heard her daughter has passed, and her response was all about herself, how she had lost a part of herself she couldn't ever get back. Is it just me? I find that very self-centred and i expected her to say something like her little girl was only 7, she had her whole life ahead of her, something like that. To talk about her daughter as an individual. Something worng here is how i see it.
He did ask her how she,, FELT...
@@lindafox3619 That's what I,, SAID...
My son was in a lake in water that was not over his head, and lost the bottom, and almost drown with me watching, five feet away. It was hard to tell he could not stand up, could not find the bottom, had become disoriented, and was about to drown while I stood with my brother watching - what we watched did not make sense to me, but we saw what we saw. We both became aware of his distress after it had been going on for a bit. It happens. Drowning is weird. When people are drowning, they panic, and they don't do rational things. So... Having heard the prosecutor's reasoning, that she 'could have just stood up', knowing that it is not as simple as that from personal experience, I suspect this woman is very likely innocent of the crime she's being punished for.
I thought the same thing about panicking. Sorry to hear about your loss.
@@fastrivers812 Thanks, but not necdessary - he 'almost' drowned. We were staring at him for a minute, and we both realized at the same time, "Hey, he's struggling!"
Blew us away. We were stunned that we were both staring right at it and did not recognize that he was about to drown. Thankfully, we recognized it just in time, and I took three steps over and picked him up. He could have just stood up, but, for whatever reason, he was not able to. He would have drowned right in front of us, with us five feet away not knowing what we were looking at. Drowning is weird. The things that the cops said about her that made them think she drowned this baby seemed ignorant of what I experienced - if you haven't seen somebody about to drown, you would be very surprised that it does necessarily not look like anything bad is happening to them until it's too late. Another time my wife was distressed in a wave pool, was calling out to a life guard for help. The life guard was looking right at her, blankly, not understanding that she was in distress and asking him to jump in and help her. Drowning is weird, and the people involved in the conviction don't seem to understand that.
If my kid died id care nothing about myself and would lose it with any visuals of how my child died not caring in the slightest what happened to me. That demeanor "I believe my Son fabricated these events..' is chilling. Who talks like that after a deadly event of their own child?! Even if just trying to clear the truth id be more like "my poor little buddy probably just got confused - ohh this has got to be so horrible for him !" Where in as shes talking very clinical and not moved by her sons breakdown in court at all.
@@froggyluvit's been nearly 20 years.
You're not going to be hysterical for that long, especially if you are innocent and have been rotting in jail for years based on her own kids lie.
I'm not saying she is or isn't innocent. But your assessment is very narrow minded.
@@link1565V2 Not an ounce of love comes from her when talking about her daughter -cold and clinical 'She was purple". In court (which was past not present) she seemed only to care about self preservation with the lone tears only at her sentencing -why not when her son was there? She has all o the cold calculating traits of person with no conscience until they are threatened by the law and then only their ego cries. Call me narrow minded all you want -I believe in Justice -its no wonder people like O.J and Casey Anthony get acquitted in these times
The way he says “sur” is so adorable. Man seeing him on that stand really broke my heart.
I know ☺️ he should have never been put on the stand in front of all those people and when he finally recognized his mother 😢
Heart wrenching seeing the little boy crying & waving to his mom.
Made me cry!
@@gregdavis1341made me cry as well. God that literally broke my heart. Poor boy. He’ll unfortunately have to live with all that trauma. I hope he’s happy now and living his best life. He deserves nothing more 😢❤
I felt the same. I really felt for him
@@LorenEganI really hope so
He has been manipulated
I used to remember things that I later found out didn't actually happen when I was a kid.
Like what?
@@lira276 having friends
Totally normal.
Such a polite and well spoken little boy. I pray that he had a great life.
Piers should go and interview the brother now that he's old enough and see if he will stick to his story.
Exactly what is in my mind 👍
Yup. That's what I was thinking.
I googled and there is a TikTok of him on a crime channel saying exactly then same thing he said in court. He is about 18 in it. I was shocked, he said his mother never liked his sister and when Adriana did something wrong for punishment she threw her into the pool and held her head down till she stopped breathing. Check it out if you want.
I'm not sure what I would make of that though. He was told what to believe, what to think, what he saw. False memories can get implanted in a child pretty easily. He won't grow up and "remember the truth," because he has already been told the truth.
Maybe when he’s 18?
I bet his adoptive parents would not allow it.
I’d like to hear from AJ when he becomes an adult.
This happened in 2007. He would be in his 20’s today.
@@sangertx9077 hopefully he speaks out
@@chloefox8471too much trauma, ! The brain is not adult before 25 and then it takes about 10 years of good therapy to get your life together from CPTSD. If you want the truth, wait til he is 25 then be his shrink and hopefully by 2035 you will have uncovered some truth about his childhood ;) I wish you luck
Not wanting to defend that women, but I'm stunned that a seven year old can be called as a witness in court. That's really bad. Children at that age cannot be considered credible witnesses for many, many reasons. At that age, they don't have a firm grip on reality, they don't understand the seriousness of a court case, they can be coaxed and coached to answer a certain way out of fear, they get people and situations bamboozled, their memory isn't as reliable as an adult's memory (in general), and they can't be subject to robust cross-examination. The evidence of a seven year old is borderline worthless.
Agree!!!!!
You’re wrong children are more honest than adults because they dot have a social filter yet. She did it.
@@Nerff554 Children are telling lies and tales.
That first case.....my heart broke for that 7 yr old little boy. He reminds me of when my son was 7 yrs old. So sweet, so innocent, so little.
The court system has traumatized this boy for the rest of his life. Why was this allowed?
Trumpet
I'm wondering if it was the Mother, who traumatized her son, for the rest of his life... Not the Court.??
@@douglasmason977 Based upon the evidence, I'd say the judicial system traumatized him.
I remember it. It makes me sick. A DISGRACE to do that to him.
NO you are wrong about that, The court situation will not harm him in any way. He is 5. What happened is different but not being the star of the day. Remember, he is 5! not 15.
I would like to know how this kid feels about all this now. Does he still stand by what he said or has his story changed?
Yes, I'll like to know too
Great question
Hard to believe she was convicted on this boy’s testimony alone
@@KJKFORYOU They also had someone testify from work that she was always complaining about the daughter
@KJKFORYOU You are right
How little girl could've possibly scream "Aj,Aj call the police" if she was drawing by her Mom. This doesn't make any sense. The kid made up this story.
How Amanda is still in prison and Casey Anthony is not baffles me. Injustice.
You rarely hear a criminal in prison confess to their crimes.
This is the truest statement here.
AJ said during his testimony, he heard his sister scream, grabbed her feet, to try help her out of the pool, BEFORE his mum came outside!!
We have to pay attention to the fact that he said Adriana drowned twice that day! 🤔
I suspect this is a definite case of accidental drowning and AJ thought he might be in trouble (when Grandma asked him what happened) ...
There's a 48 or minute upload of his court testimony. It's important to watch the prosecution and defence before making up your mind on this case🤔
How would this child be able to see over the pool to know how his mother was holding her down?
Great point!
Piers did an excellent job interviewing both of these women. I love these types of interviews!
Definitely not enough for me to convict. The kid didn't even know his mom was in the courtroom.
6mons in jail before trial the hair of his mother was short when she was arrested..maybe thats the reason but after that he recognized his mother
@@positivelangbai...4482 He recognized her only after the attorney pointed her out. She'd still have the same face.
He didnt see her right away. There were a lot of people in the courtroom and it was a very different place for him. Once he looked to his side, he recognized her.
It's enough for me. I would not have sent him back to that drug abuser who was escalating her abuse and then killed his sister in front of him.
It’s called trauma he recognizes her when the point her out. Imagine him feeling like he just fell into another world? Poor little guy . Buying do belle told the truth
I cry every time I see AJ cry after recognizing his mother. Just kills me! 😢
Obsessed with watching it?
Criminal society
That lil boy was amazing. Brave & articulate.
And very well coached.
The tears that formed when that baby seen his momma n started crying ..sooo touching
The child could have easily confused cpr with violence towards his sister .I think this woman deserves a new trial
I could see where cpr could look like violence to his sister
nah. cpr doesn't give the blunt force trauma marks to the head. she held her down exactly as he saw it.
And the marks on her face could have been from frantically holding her face while giving mouth to mouth.
@@teena-tz7lrDid we watch the same video? The marks on her face were hardly blunt force trauma. The expert testified the was ONE mark that looked like fingers had pressed against her face. That could easily have happened while she was in a panic and gripping the child's face as she gave her mouth to mouth.
@@Angelfire.she killed that girl, ether she didn't mean to do it , by being to rough or on purpose.... she was a terrible mother, that doesn't make her a murderer, however she held her down and drowned her... it could have very well been a punishment that went too far .... but it takes time and force for the way she had died ....
I have mixed feelings about that first case
It's actually pretty cut and dry. If you have an IQ above 80😊
Alright I solved this one lads. The kid didnt saw his mum killing his sister but instead what he saw was his mum trying to reanimate her after she drowned and it was the mother who told him to call 911. Free this woman.
Didn't you hear the 911 call was from the Mom!
I don't think she is guilty, I think she should have a retrial
you didnt watch whole video? girl was much taller then depth of water in pool, she would of just stood up if she was drowning
This was a brilliant series of interviews by Piers Morgan!! Wish he could have done more, they apparently disallowed them at some stage in the U S A
How is she in jail? There is no evidence. That poor boy should have never had to testify..
exactly
Did you miss where the water wasn’t high enough for a girl of that height to drown?
@@ryansack5198 She could have still drowned. She may have panicked. The thing is she got convicted on a child’s theory.
I really feel for her. I have a hard time believing she killed her daughter and not her son as well, kids can easily misconstrue situations.
@@clarissathompson0103 then you are easily conned
I remember vividly, witnessing my mom being beat up my aunt, on a bright sunny day, on a cobblestone street, as we were walking down that road. I was 3 years old, that afternoon. I am an old man now, and I am not a genius. Trauma sticks to you!
Absolutely agree with you Sir.
Sure! Absolutely I understand that! But it is ALSO very possible to implant false memories in a child. We know so. We have mountains of evidence and examples of this occurring. One in particular is the little girl that METICULOUSLY recounted a molestation incident by a family member. It ended in a conviction, but it was later found to be a false memory that was implanted and coached by other adults.
Exactly. Kids don’t lie about that stuff. They don’t forget
@@nixwestlake9196 That's not true. There was a whole case called the McMartin case where kids were coached like crazy and those people accused were innocent.
@@SquirtlePower809 His story was basically the same in the police station, one hour after the police got to the home. Who has time to implant memories?
😢When little AJ broke into tears upon realizing that his mom was in the courtroom...the mother in me did too.
Such a huge responsibility to heap upon such a little boy...absolutely heartbreaking 💔...and life altering, for AJ, to be sure.
I think most of we, the viewers, wanted to hug him at that very moment. Such a strong young man. Blessings all..🙏
Rhonda is one of those women who can cry without tears 😆
My thought exactly 😂that signature Amber H cry😅
And without affected breathing.
@@yopeter101 Just like Amber she also stops crying every time she answers a question and then looks at Pierce, ready for another one.
She is the worse. When they first caught her she said she didn’t know what was going on, that she was on vacation with her son. Then 5 mins later proceeds to break down with her tearless cry “I did do it, I did it he came after me” 😅
@@healthnutsecrets1150 being worse than Amber H doesn't say much, though :)
Maybe I'll look into her interrogation video, thx for the tip.
It’s just difficult when the little boy said his sister said call 911. I don’t know that. That a seven year old child would say that in the middle of being drowned.
I'm pretty sure that would not be on the child's mind at that moment.
I thought the same thing. That’s what made me think maybe she didn’t do it or he was told to say that… it’s hard to know if the child was not pushed to say things before the whole ordeal is said and done
@@viralvinny he was coached by his grandfather
@@viralvinnyyes your ritht here
@@viralvinny I thought the same. He said she was yelling , " call the police! " While she was being drowned? I really doubt that. I think this vulnerable baby was lead.
Can you tell me what a lie is? It’s not the truth. Can you tell me what the truth is? It’s not a lie. TOTALLY COACHED!!
And just what would you expect him to say? 🙄
How could she tell her brother to call police if mum was holding her face under water?? Definitely think Aj was coached
@@ellybean5868 the truth is defined by reality.
I will not be surprised if you also delete ur own child. You are dead inside its in your eyes.
Exactly!!! Unbelievable
I believe AJ. Sweet boy was put in a position to testify against his own mother that he knew he would never see again. What an absolute sad story. Unbelievable. That courtroom footage is so HEARTBREAKING 💔 I put myself in his shoes and I’m literally crying about it. My own mother!!?
I think his grandmother got a hold of him before this interview. Seen it SO many times. Children are SO impressionable. Sad.
The step-grandfather, actually. He was known to hate the mother and he was at the scene for 30 minutes before the police came. He had plenty of time to coach the boy to incriminate his mother, the woman the step-grandfather hated. The grandmother has since divorced him.
His description of his mother holding his sister's face and pushing her in the water corroborated by the medical examiner's testimony of fingerprint marks on the little girl's face sealed her fate. The expression on the mother's face at those testimony moments is quite compelling.
Exactly my point too.. that’s when I had no doubt. She’s horrible
She could have just given her away or put up for adoption if she was too ‘difficult’ for her to handle.. ugh no excuses
Yup that's evidence consistent with his statement.
@@lydibug51 the bruising is consistent with dozens of possible objects besides a hand. There was no clear handprint on Adrianna. Furthermore, children often get bruises from having CPR performed on them. This "bruise pattern" testimony is hardly science.
Unless she was pressing her down all the way to the bottom to have pressure enough to cause bruising I don’t think that’s what happened. Just pressing her face under water wouldn’t have bruised it. If she was pushing her all the way to the bottom she would have been very wet herself.
That little boy never should’ve been made to testify. How traumatizing. His statement should have sufficed. To me that is child abuse. He will never get over that.
Child abuse? Get real.
He sister deserves he’s testimony
That little boy never should witness the killing of he’s sister
Either way, the mother is responsible. If that girl was unable to swim then she should have been out there. Maybe that’s what the jury was thinking. There are very few accidents in life. Should she get a life sentence, no, but did she deserve to recognize her shortcomings as a parent?
@@donnakreye8339 Jury it is not supposed to interpret anything, they are supposed to hear only facts!
That poor and brave little boy is telling the truth. ❤
My heart just broke seeing AJ crying 😭 ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ronda has switched on to her acting mode real quick 😅😅😅
What wasn’t mentioned about Amanda in her interview is that she was offered a 10 year sentence if she would plead guilty and she would not take it and wanted a trial to prove her innocence.
Did not know that😢
That def holds weight with me.
@@26michaeluk me too. This is an uneducated working class woman who lives in Florida. She has no idea how lie detectors work, how our criminal justice system works, how the court system works. She thought that because she was innocent, she could just take a polygraph, prove her innocence and walk free; she was naive. She really believed that because she was innocent, the state could never convince a jury of her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Again, naive. :(
@@brookiegremlin6660She's a murderer just like Susan Smith and many other single mothers before. Let it go.
Yes, you are right... I believe she's innocent due to lack of evidence, especially a 7-year-old child testimony dose not make you guilty... if she was guilty, she would have taken the 10-year deal instead of taking it to TRIAL.
I’ve studied the first case in length and she is DEFINITELY guilty. Sociopath just wants out of prison. They offered a 10 year plea deal she wouldn’t take it and then they wiped the floor with her at the jury trial.
Being a single parent with young unruly children is probably one of the hardest jobs both mentally and physically. Adding to the stress, it seems like grandma and grandpa weren’t much of a help at all.
Only this woman knows what she did. But she certainly didn’t present like someone who killed her daughter. She presents like a woman who has accepted her fate largely because of the guilt from her daughter dying and so the punishment seems just to her.
That’s at least how it came off to me.
The Standard of Proof (Beyond a reasonable doubt) was NEVER met in the Amanda Case!!
Plus.... Abusers indeed have two faces or personas. People struggle or refuse to believe the abused's version because they do not know or see the dark side of the abuser's personality. I have an issue with enablers who just don't care enough to even consider that there might be a dark side to a charming persona. Nowadays people are much more aware of the brutality and insidious nature of narcissistic abuse, be it physical or psychological or emotional or spiritual, but there are still those folk who only believe what they experience or think they see. Bless their souls, they will never become educated until it happens to them or someone they truly care about. To the ones that are not believed when they try to speak their truth, stand firm. God is real and He knows and sees everything that happens in secret or in private. He is the ultimate and righteous judge.. and does not lie, since He IS Truth! Believe on Him and trust in Him alone. Blessings.
A.J. broke my heart! 🙏🏻😔 That being said; the mother passed a lie detector test, grant it, those aren’t permissible by law in most states. How a mother is in prison for life based on a small child’s word is concerning. They also didn’t say if the grandmother was his mother’s, mother. I, also, noted that the same grandparents didn’t take or get custody of him. He was adopted out.
I think at the very least she deserves a retrial. I’ve watched Piers Morgan a long time and he’s fierce and to the point. I noticed he went easy on her and even questioned the investigator if he really believed a small child’s word and perception were credible.
Yes I believe that AJ was coached. I am curious if they did a new trial and had him again what would he say. There are just too many questions. Why were friends, family and coworkers so against her? No one said anything good about her. If she was that bad then why not call CPS on her they could have saved a child’s life.
Oh yeah, I had three children, 9 grandchild
ren and I'm expecting my 4th greatgrand
child and I am a retired BSN, RN.
The grandmother said in court that she was the mother of the lady in prison.

Grandma who tesified is her mother, you can tell cause they look exactly alike
she closed her eyes to the questions. she did do it.
Piers consistently led those interviewed and it's very surprising coming from an experienced reporter. He asked Ronda, "you were practicing shooting to protect yourself, right?" WOW
He is doing an interview with convicted prisoners to attract viewers. Not a boring crime investigation.
@@susivarga7303 I think you missed the point, the point is, professional reporter NEVER lead, they ask questions and then probe if needed.
@@hamb7260
I did not miss the point. He is not being professional here because he is not investigating anything. He is providing entertainment. Quite a difference.
You missed the point of him going there to see these women. No new leads, no new evidence to discover, no new witnesses, no appeals. There is nothing "to probe".
It's just a circus for crime lovers.
What if the CPR she claimed to perform was what the boy thought his mom used in killing his sister? 🤔 How can the lil boy's testimony be used to judging the mom, what does he know about CPR?
I pray for the heart of both mom and kid ❤❤❤❤
My thoughts too.
This is what I think as well. I think the boy got confused and pieced together what he thought he saw. I think the daughter probably slipped, inhaled water and panicked and the mother ran out and did CPR and probably did yell at the boy to stop goofing off. The level of panic you would experience in this situation would be off the charts. I think the mom may have yelled for someone to call the emergency services. There's no way the daughter could have if she had her face being pushed under the water.
The little girl was big enough to stand up in the pool and the water be almost a foot below the top of her head, if she fell in or he pushed her in all she had to do was stand up there was nothing in the pool to knock her out
That’s exactly what I thought
That’s what came to my mind too
The first case is so heartbreaking. I feel so sad for that little boy. I hope he can find peace and have a wonderful happy life!
Poor little kid. Breaks my heart hear him telling this.
I totally believe that little boy.
How did she die in a pool she could easily stand up in and had many times.
No head trauma that shows she was knocked out or impaired and drowned but bruises on her face that line up with a hand perfectly.
And recounting the story so close to when it had happened.
but had enough breath to scream "call 911"
Adults drown in a foot of water, for goodness' sake!
And the boy told MANY divergent stories about what had happened. Moreover, his step-grandfather, who hates the mother, was on the scene for full 30 minutes before the police arrived and is thought by many to have coached the child to incriminate the woman he hated. Finally, doctors who assessed him before trial said that at 6 years old, he was developmentally at the stage of a 4 and a half year old, an age at which children confabulate a lot.
How does the little boy know what killing his sister is? Or even means? In what world would he be educated on that subject?
Sounds more like coerced confession to me.
@@WheresWaldo05 you see the state of the house?
I don’t think there was any order or structure in that house.
yo thank you for this, had to scroll through a ton of demonic peoples comments defending the mom to finally find some common sense
Pierce is an exellent interviewer,he gets right to the point..
Seconds passed in silence before she responded “she was a good kid” when asked about what she thought of her daughter. All her answers were about herself. Of course she “ loved her daughter”. “She was the spitting image of me in every way”. Self involved in every way…
I remember this trial from court tv. I never actually thought she did it.
These women are so guilty. Their language, their demeanor, the lack of tears/fake tears.
I believe the boy. I absolutely do. But they shouldve just recorded his testimony to play in court, not brought him in the face his mother in there.
That’s not how the law works. You have the right to face your accusers no matter how sad and painful it is.
@@AlexB-pp7dc actually they usually don't put kids on the stand like that. Florida is one of the rare states that does it.

I would love to know how AJ did after his mother was jailed and how he did in his life so far. Does he suffer from depression for example? Did he get therapy? Are his adoptive parents good to him?
It's disturbing fr
I think he'd be around 24 now? Prayers for him.
He's done well. That's all I'm saying about him and he still knows what he saw and stands by it.
@@madsdee7803 so he is ok with his mother in jail for life? i really do not believe that she killed his sister based on all we see here! so many people believe she is innocent when if not, they would say she isn't, as the social media is ruthless... he needs to man up and say he is wrong!
@@professorking5152 This is saying a lot about you... 😒
That's a great way to get a candid reaction by saying, I want to see your reaction...Smh like that's not going to put somebody on guard.
The child couldn't even recognize his mom in the courtroom, so how can this 7-year-old child be used to testify against his mom. The mother even passed the lying decter test. It's a sad case...
Imagine you're a small child in a court room, would you analyze all the serious faces of the adults, could be thirty or more people. Children are shy in those situations so when asked he didn't stand up and scan the room. Also his mother had her head lowered.
@@jonathandevereaux298 true 👍
I have never been convinced that her mother drowned her. That precious little boy should have given testimony in private, recorded and played for the jury. That was a terrible thing for them to put him on the stand.
@@HuskyTheDog2202 Grand parents who did not even adopt the kid!
Yeah because psychopath mothers don’t exist 😂
I wish ppl would do research instead of coming to conclusions off a doco with a woman lying through her teeth. Iv done the research she is indeed very guilty. A kid isn't going to send their own mum to prison for no reason. The girl could stand up. She isn't going to drown herself.
@@TeaLaTeQuiL I didn't base my opinion from this documentary I have followed this case from the beginning and live near to the area it happened. I suspect anyone saying Mum instead of Mom isn't even from this country and has no clue what they are talking about!

So kids can't be prosecuted because they presumably don't understand the world, but their testimony can be used to prosecute someone to life in prison or even to a death sentence...
this was a notch on the belt of an overzealous unscrupulous DA
Kids get tried as adults all the time.
This is very wrong

14:47 broke my heart into a million pieces 😭
I’m in tears from ajs testimony with the drawing of the pool. How can anyone do these things.
There are people that have done horrible things like this, but there is no evidence that she did. When I was a kid, I convinced myself and other kids that there were dead bodies in the forest behind my school. I had a vivid imagination, like most kids. Kids that age have problems with distinguishing reality from fiction. What the prosecutor did to that child is inexcusable, they had zero understanding how a child functions at that age, you need someone with a good knowledge how to interview a child. Even adults can be manipulated by incompetent or malicious interrogators to give false testimonies, children are totally defenceless and must be treated with the outmost care.
Piers thank you for the work you do with true crime stories. It’s very interesting and helps me to see there’s more than one way to look at things.
An Angel, a child and a little big man.😭 God bless his heart.🙏

@@Taco_Raider What?
@@sonjagatto9981 A block of cheese and a chicken salad sandwich
This was a tough one but AJ's story was consistent the way he described the pool incident each time.
I don't understand how a small 7 y/o child could scream "AJ AJ Call the Police" while a grown woman was holding her head underwater?
I had the same thoughts.
yeah his story is literally not possible. Similar to the kids in the McMartin preschool trial, but that didn't stop the prosecution from going forward.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that.
exactly
I’ve taught 7 year olds. Of course they’re capable of saying call the police in a situation like that. However I do have doubt that she did this.
My daughter has a 1 yo and a 3 yo. The 1yo is just learning to walk. My daughter was walking into the kitchen, the 1 yo follows and trips and starts crying. Her 3 yo sees the two of them together when his brother falls. He said “Mom! You tripped him!” Of course my daughter did not. But for more than a week, her 3 yo told everyone, including his preschool teacher, that his Mom tripped his brother. Now it’s a funny story that we tell, but if someone would have believed her 3 yo, then what??
I think they coached him, grandma and grandpa or someone decided that he had credibility.
Exactly! Small children can tell strange stories that aren't true! And they even believe in what they're saying.
My niece lied to her father on 2 different occasions crying loud that my sister had hit her but my sister didn't she spoke to her to leave something. I was there d 2nd time and she did not hit her when her father came home she told her father that she hit her. The first time was grand-niece was there with her and she said she did hit her kids lie
Sorry but there a huuuge difference between a 3 year old and a 8 year old
@@kabal2569 not in this scenario. The boy seems extremely babyish.
@@kabal2569You're right, but you're talking to garbage people, so they won't listen.
As a former EMT who has given CPR multiple times, I can tell you with absolute certainty that sometimes it does require so much force that you could leave marks on their face, especially when you are getting responsiveness and trying to open the airway. I've also broken patient s ribs doing chest compressions to circulate blood. That does not make you a murderer, especially someone who is not trained in a traumatic situation to perform the CPR properly.
When the poor AJ burst into tears seeing mommy 😢😢😢 so heartbreaking. Can’t believe they put a small child through this…
Adrianna was 47" tall. Pool was 32-35" tall.
If she fell in the pool she couldn't just get up like he said it's not so easy that instant drowning
If she aspirated water as she fell in, she could have gone into a panic and thrashed around, aspirating more water and then drowning. She was only 7 and wouldn’t have had the instinct to hold her breath as she fell. It's perfectly plausible.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I have a pool. It’s intentionally not deep. But you could still easily fall in while scooping out the pool, gulp water in a panic and drown. It’s not 100% a guarantee that you would just stand up and be okay.
Those pools have very slippery bottoms. If you were scared and panicked and kept slipping on the bottom, it would certainly be possible. I've heard the saying "a child can drown in an itch of water".
She did pass the polygraph test
I’ll never forget the first time I learned about that case. I have gone back and forth with it ever since. Little AJ breaks me every time. His pitiful little “yes, soe.” sticks with me to this day. I hope he’s ok and living a happy life.
The kid is emotionally unstoppable. He made up the story.
No he did not. There were other evidence that convicted her.
@@tisha954 I don’t believe him. As she said he had weird imagination and combined stories that had happened before into one day.
@@TanyaBrightFuture You dont believe him but you believe the mother about him having weird imagination? Make it make sense.
@@tisha954 this is my opinion. If you believe this kid - that’s fine with me.
Your child drowned "by accident" and you do not shed a single tear, do not even become emotional. Only show emotions when asked questions about yourself. Within all the videos I've seen, with moms that have lost their child no matter how long ago, they immediately start crying.
I believe what the little boy says
Seeing that little boy in tears is heartbreaking. 💔
My heart just melted... To see that little kid had to go through.... In the courtroom to testify against your own mother.... This kid will have to carry this feeling for the rest of he's life.... Only God knows what really happened that day..... 💔💔💔
Just heartbreaking!
I lost my 7yr old son to a horrific car accident in 2007, I have to say this really hit me hard!!! I can't imagine someone killing their own child but I truly believe AJ is telling the truth, sadly!!!! 🙏🏻
100%
Exactly!!
Am so sorry for your loss, the angel honored you with his time for 7 precious years. Yes I think AJ told exactly what he saw and the injuries to Adriana’s face confirmed it.
That's an excruciating pain. I'm so sorry.
So sorry to hear
The second story, the woman cried, no tears😢.
Comment I was looking for 🤭
How do you not see the tear streaks on the right side of her face (her right) that are causing her mascara to run? Her eyes are entirely watery. Not saying she didn't do it but let's not exaggerate.
She is so faking and she makes me so mad
Master manipulator
Yes easily tell she’s fake crying
Im here for Piers Morgan 💜
“Who is that AJ”
“My mother”
“What is she doing?”
“Killing my sister”
A child would not say this. A child would make observations like “my mother pushing my sisters head in the water”, or something similar.
Yup. Or, my mother was playing and laughing...
Plus, the girl was taller than the water. Commonsense doesn't necessarily convict, but with everything else? Yes
The second story is just crocodile tears on her part. She keeps trying to squeeze the tears out literally!
Sometimes people who are medicated with antipsychotic drugs cannot cry, even though their emotions may be of sorrow or sadness. Im not saying that this is the case with this woman, but for many people this is the case.
And victimize herself.
