I’m not convinced he did it, unless I missed something, if he stabbed her with this rake you would have to use force I would think there would be blood splatter on his face or hair or something.
I actually believe he is innocent and had ineffectual council. He just didn't speak up in his own defence at trial believing that the jury would find him innocent. Big mistake.
You know who didn't get a fair trial????? AMY MULLIS didn't......her husband premeditated and killed her so he wouldn't have to give her half of the land, money, trust fund, children....... he won for a while but then the truth came out and proved he killed his wife and put his son in the middle of it......bad dad, but he had to have a 3rd party there to say he was around pigbarn.....I work on a farm and I don't know if my husband left and went to get a hoe or a shovel or a tool and came right back, I'll leave and he doesn't realize that I left, that's the way it is on a farm....everyone is working......
The judge sounds like a real jerk he also sounds like he had his mind made up like him and prosecutors already had this wrapped up so corrupt in all the courts
Kristen Munoz this is the SENTENCING. Meaning that you’ve already used your critical mind during the ENTIRE trial, and have now come to a decision alas you have made up your mind. I wasn’t talking about taking a stance on day one. I was referring to this video. Now, feel free to use your mind to decipher the meaning of what I just wrote. 😘
I agree!! It's so unreal that a decision as big as a new trial is up to one person who obviously isn't about a fair trial and no matter what the defense attorney argued, it was clear that it didn't matter to the judge
Sadly, our country turned that way a couple years ago! The criminals get away with EVERYTHING now, while the innocent have to PROVE they're innocent. Such a shame! 😭

Did this defendant have an attorney? If so, I never noticed him shielding his client. What a farce! A man is on trial for his life and he is represented by a clown.
Defense Attorney James Jacocks: "May it please the court. I would like to state with a straight face, that the wife of Todd Mullis was clumsy. Plain clumsy. She clearly fell backwards onto a corn rake, then stood up, and fell back on it again, and then stood up a third time and fell back on it again, then got up... and fell forward onto her face. That is all. Thank you."
@@fredchester921 Theatrics aside I have to guess your intent. I was not arguing that the man is innocent. I suggested that the attorney wasn't performing one of the principle duties of counsel: to shield the accused and speak for him/her.
@@jamesjacocks6221 ? Shield him from what exactly , when ? At which points ? Did you even bother to watch BOTH trials ? He had TWO different defense attorneys as a matter of fact. The first verdict overturned on a technicality not law or principle ! It just so happens, as Fred stated, Mullis is literally “indefensible”. He took the stand in the second trial and preformed as expected. Terribly ! Cold, callous, indefensible. Not much else that can be said for the man ! He comes off as a horrible human.

Why didn't the prosecution have that tape analyzed by the FBI or reconstructed by the FBI with all the technology that's available there would have been no doubt as to what he said on the tape.
They received the information last minute and didn't have time. I don't think it matters much. Even if you completely throw that out, there's plenty of evidence showing this controlling and abusive jerk killed his wife.
I've watched this from start to finish slong with listening to all the evidence and testimony and I cannot see this man guilty!! How have they proven he left the barn in the time frame of his son going to get a drink of water? Its impossible!!
Who stabbed that corn fork 3 times into her???? The boogeyman???? Maybe the son.......who has the vested interest, follow the money. And Todd Mullus was not giving his wife half of his landholdings and children.....she lost, but so did he, he just wasn't smart enough, he left a trail a mile wide.....dah
@@maryr.4757 the wife of Jerry Frazer would definitely be a person of interest!! I would be interested in knowing if she was questioned and her whereabouts at the time of the murder! I believe there has been to much focus on the husband. The prosecution used some extremely questionable tactics of questioning which i believe should have been objectionable on its face!!
I still don't think he did either. His counsel was incompetent plus there were some evidence not admissible. Too many holes in his trial a lot of things didn't make sense at all. That prosecutor lady I I reckon got too personal therefore biased with this case
@@taitorani7469 lawyer shoulve stop it rgen, when lawyer was blabbing off, and mullis shouldve been more strong and sure on his answers..mind u they tell u, answer yes or no..he probably followed along exactly ad he wss told..vut sometime u got to sneak your answer or feelings in there. As in xourt.
I felt that as well. The whole google search thing was not examined well enough (you can search using anyone's google account) and the prosecution feeding the jury words from the tape reminded me of the whole Yany vs Laurel sound thing a year or so ago. If he did it, then he's where he should be; however, logically, there is not enough evidence for him to have been convicted.
I thought about the lover too. I don’t believe 100% he’s guilty and can’t get to grips with a unanimous verdict on this. Surely he’d have had blood on him before reentering the hog house? Surely his son would have seen blood on his dad before he found his mum or his dad came to shouts from his son....? I’m not convinced enough to say he’s 100% guilty.
@Lavern n very true, especially a 14 yr old...their dads are their kings at that age most naturally...yes he would have ...I'd still hate to be on this jury though cuz even though I do think he had motive and son could've defended dad, not 100 percent sure...hate to not hold justice either way.
I agree. I think she was murdered, but not by him. He didn't have enough time. Plus, he is very honest about all of his surges, even the incriminating ones.
I feel there should have been more investigation into the boyfriend he knew the grounds well and they had spoke that morning and he was upset that she wouldn’t let it go because he was trying to get things back with his wife. The so-called facts in this case have never set well with me. He was a very hard worker and he was in the middle of his workday getting ready to go in and have lunch and had plans to work that afternoon why would he decide to fit A murder into the middle of this and then stop and report it. I believe the boyfriends alibi was his wife and of course she would lie for him she probably felt flattered that he would kill in her honor, Todd knew of other infidelities and he continued to keep his family together in the past.
Most murders end up back in court heavier when they went in. Todd looks sick and withered from it all, from stress, depression ect. I really feel he tried to do what was right by getting her to the hospital himself. He could of just let her lay there and waited for the ambulance and let her die there in a dirty shed with a corn rake in her back. Killers don't try to help their victims or remove what killed their victims.
It's a very sad case, especially for the son. This man had a reputation of having a fierce temper and a very controlling personality. His wife cheated on him twice, when she knew it could cost her her life. She told her girlfriend and her lover that he would kill her before allowing a divorce. I could not care less what the 911 tape sounds like. He did this. He was NOT a loving husband. He was a jailer who became enraged when his prisoner tried to escape. He killed her and made his son try to give him an alibi. If he hadn't stabbed her twice she might not have died, but if she had died after one stroke, he might have gotten away with it. You could fall on a cornrake once, but not twice, at the depth that those tines went. Absolutely not possible. She was murdered. He had means, motive and opportunity. He is right where he belongs and justice is served.
She probably was feeling dizzy, which she said herself, backed into the corn rake then passed out on it. It’s not hard to figure out. Originally the son said his dad was with him the whole time and changed his story. He says “she’s so cold on the 911 call.
@@maryr.4757 - Clearly two people can watch the same thing and come to different conclusions. From what I've seen - lots of people who watched the trial thought he was innocent and his lawyers were crap.
the google searches, the motive, the applying of the corn rake into her back once and not getting a good enough bite into her chest cavity and him pulling out and raring back and doing it a 2nd time, the boy saying they were not together multiple times, the rage, the calling of the wife of the cheating man, the pondering of the divorce financial outcomes ..... it all adds up to = He killed her and thought he could serve little to no time or get free of the charges and free of her forever (with the exception of funeral expenses).
I am in total SHOCK!!! I can't believe that there are 12 people who agreed on a guilty plea!! It's plain to see that Ms. Mullis family believes that Todd is guilty and my heart hurts for them but this trial and verdict is such an injustice. I pray that this man gets a new and fair trial.
Get over it, he killed his wife because he hated her for cheating on him and as he told someone, "" I have worked too hard to give it up to her "". He was not going to sell off part of his land to give to some cheating wife who obviously was finished with Todd Mullins and she couldn't wait to leave and divorce him.......his family, parents, brothers and sisters all knew how much he hated her and they know that he did kill her..... he got exactly what he deserves.......he stuck a corn rake into her 3 times, well in the big house, he will be having RELATIONS by other inmates 3 times a day....you reap what you sow Todd Mullins.....
I wouldn’t be able to go to sleep at night if I was one of the 12 jurors and if I had been, I sure wouldn’t have found him guilty. Not enough evidence.
I can’t believe 100% of the Jury actually thinks he’s guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. I have doubts and so do many other people watching this. Incredible to take a dad away from his children when they have already lost their mum when there are certainly reasonable doubts not only with his defence lawyer but also the evidence.
So she repeatedly fell on a rake? The google searches were done for a homework project? This guy has no idea what a computer does so there is no way he knew his searches could be located later. His timeline is in shambles and he has no alibi: her son said he was not always with him. He claims to be so calm throughout his wife’s affairs but what did he intend when he called the wife of the man his wife was having an affair with? And even if we cannot hear clearly what he is whispering, WHY IS HE WHISPERING ANYTHING which he conveniently can’t recall? Wouldn’t he be saying something like “please come back” or “please don’t go” or “why us?” You know, something which indicates he is UPSET! 😀 There was so much evidence it was ridiculous. Hope he is gone for good.
@@frozenboot68 she couldve fell on the rake twice. It's plausible. The google searches are the only thing that is suspect but what would you do if I were to search up your search history? Point rpoven. google searches dont prove anything. Everyone google searches them for a reason. Cause theyre meant to be private. We all have some bad things in our search history. His son said he was with him the whole time then retracted to maybe I was away for A MINUTE. A MINUTE. Even assuming the second story, Todd didnt have enough time to do everything. Your 4th point is more or less irrelevant. 5th point: Chest compressions. You whisper during the counting phase when attempting chest compressions and him not remembering what he said is normal. The brain can shut off and block out any traumatic events. It happens. Thats why you have people who genuinely do not remember murdering or shooting anyone such as the case with that teenage boy who shot his parents. So he mightve not even been doing chest compression. His brain just blocked that part out. There was evidence. But EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE was circumstanstial, weak or explained.

@@justicejane2429 he would of had no remorse to help her and get her to a hospital. He also could of killed her and got away with it if he "really wanted her gone" by many different ways than a corn rake with 6 holes in her not 8. Come on now!
Reading the comments, I can see a lot of them have adopted the prosecutor's theory of the case including her language that the victim was 'stabbed' with the corn rake. Stabbing is possible with a pitchfork but not a corn rake. Take a moment to look at how a corn rake is constructed and my point will be immediately obvious. The tines are rounded at about a 90 degree angle from the handle with the tips curving even more back toward the handle. If Mr. Mullis had an effective attorney he would have hired an accident reconstruction expert to testify.
I never would have thought of this and can't imagine any of the jurors would have either. I feel like this could have gone either way but this is such a great point and further solidifies that he deserved better counsel.
I'm not saying that Todd did it but Amy was found on her hands and knees. The killer could have pushed her from behind. She falls to the floor, causing the hand injuries and what looked to me like a chin scrape from that picture during Closing. Then the Corn Rake was swung down and into her back.
@@BizarreBazaarBW Except that there were two sets of wounds. One which penetrated in an upward direction and another in a downward direction. The barn was packed full of stuff and the walkways very narrow. There is also the timeframe that the son testified to. Investigators also found no other footprints from the hog barn where Mullis and his son were working to the one where she was except the front one that both he and his son used. The son testified he never left the barn. So you can come up with scenarios from now until doomsday but the one the prosecutor used and the one you pulled out of the air aren't proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Did you read what I said? I said I don't know who did it. And my scenario was just an example of how one could be stabbed with a Corn Rake since you said that stabbing someone with a Corn Rake isn't possible.
She was wrong to have an affair. I get it. However, murder is is not the answer. He should have let her go. They could have both lead happy lives after divorce. Divorce NOT murder!
I feel strongly he was more concerned with her getting any of the farm and money. This is a sad case and my heart breaks for Amy, her children and family. I feel for his family as well. I believe justice is served here.
Feel so Sorry for these poor children and their Grandparents suffering along with their Mothers Death. They should All have some counseling. God Bless🙏🏼
@@toasted_.coconut he told the truth on the stand. He lied in depositions and I don't think we should be judging a traumatized child for trying to protect the only parent he had left. At the trial he decided to do the right thing.
I also definitely think Todd is innocent & it wasn’t a good professional trial. I hope his new lawyer/attorney do a proper job this time! Thank goodness the attorney for Todd seems to know what he’s talking about!
Seems like the son did it. Dad put the body on the son so it would explain the blood he had all over him. Dad is protecting his son. Wife was a cheating homewrecker
I don’t understand why people are commenting innocent, unless they’ve only looked at this case superficially or a piecemeal review of discovery. He was clearly guilty. And the jury, who saw all evidence, found him guilty.
For sure.NOT!!+ Lol they ran over THERE real fast in that short period of time and killed her and left without being seen or heard. No I highly doubt it and for no good reason. They weren't looking up how to kill unfaithful wives. . Nor were they about to lose half of their farm in home knowing that she was planning on leaving
They said that the guy she had the affair with his cell phone never pinged in that area that day. Such a lame excuse. If you were smart and were going to kill someone you know to leave your cell phone home for that very reason. He had no other alibi than that.
It was brought up. Her only lover at that time was Jerry Frazier, and police looked into him, his cell records/location & alibi checked out- he was hours away.
What a horrible, painful way to die. I’ll never understand why spouses kill. Just get a damned divorce! Money isn’t everything! The children now have no parents!!! 🤬😢
I'm in no way defending this guy, but unless you come from a farming community where the land has been in the family for generations and generations, losing some of it in a divorce is like cutting your head off. The land is everything - it is your livelihood, your "family jewel", if you will. His emotions were all wrapped up in that concept and he lost control.
There would not be blood splatter if the tines of a rake hit a body. The impact are is too small. And because he said he moved the rake from the grass to the building and then pulled it out of her, his DNA would be on it.
I don't know what's going on with these men killing their wives and children? Seems like some strange phenomenon. What happened to just getting an old fashioned divorce?
I think she fell on it after taking meds and then flailing around, restabbed herself. It's perfectly feasible. Also, for someone who felt shackled to home she sure was out and about a lot, even traveling.
This case is ripe for a new trial. His defense attorney at trial was incompetent in a variety of ways, but most glaringly when he conceded in opening statements that this was a murder (vs. leaving the possibility of an accident on the table for consideration) - the burden was on the prosecution to prove that, but the defense forfeited that at the outset. That was such an egregious error it rises to the level of legal malpractice, IMO.

If not, they dont need to be covered.
it was a situation about how many puncture wounds that they found in her. She couldn't have fallen on the rake. Then there was a total stranger killing her with the rake which there was no evidence of. I don't remember what other evidence was presented in the trial. I think he was guilty too.
@@taratrudeau2029 what makes you think he was guilty from the evidence? I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty, but the reality of the fact is, that when you're suggested something, you will be more inclined to go with that suggestion... which is why detectives and lawyers aren't supposed to suggest and lead. It was incredibly inappropriate for the prosecutor to say that in front of the jury and the judge should've stopped it. It sounds like he's counting BUT I could see how some ppl could hear that, if they want to... which it's why that was a huge variable and very shocking, even for me to hear someone say "die you whore" instead of trying to save their wife's life is hard to hear and it made me biased until I heard it again... imagine a jury. There's a lot of circunstancial evidence and that's not enough to take someone's life, imo... bc the law demands you to be SURE.
Jo Prent of course he did. Selfish man. If he gave her half his farm he would have been ok, she would have been ok. And she would be alive. He could have moved on. Greed.
The one thing that stuck out to me is that even though they didn't see "footsteps" in the snow, not once did they bring up whether or not the shed she was found in was searched at any point to see if anyone was or had been possibly hiding in it. Todd and his son were concerned with getting her to the hospital and didn't check. There was ample time between them leaving for the hospital and the police arriving at the farm for someone to leave without being noticed. I don't recall there being mention of this specific area being thoroughly searched. There are reasons to believe it could have been him but there are reasons to believe the possibility exists that it wasn't. It doesn't seem like a slam dunk case to me.🤷♀️
i feel like he did it, but i agree, there is alot of unanswered questions about this case, and i wonder how the jury came to their verdict on this one (his lawyer didnt seem to be very good either)
@@justme62791 I really wonder too. I agree about his attorney - I didn't get the sense at all that he was the least bit passionate about proving possible innocence. It felt very much like he was just there holding space as representation and nothing more. Such a tragic demise of what appears to once have been a really loving family. Ugh.
This guy is innocent, what probably happened is that this was in fact a weird accident, she probably fall on the rake and when was trying to get up, slipped and got on the rake again. the fact that she was in on her knees is because maybe she didn't die instantly. Todd was with his son all the time. It's crazy how lightly this people send an innocent man to jail for the rest of his life. One day all this people, gonna answer for what they did, and they will be punished for being so shallow playing with others people lives.
What is shallow about these people doing their jobs Were? Were you there or within earshot of the jury's deliberations? Being on a jury is not easy and not like on TV. Most folks who have been called to jury try their best. Of course, there are examples when this goes wrong or they are flat out wrong. God will judge, but maybe not the way you are thinking. He knows whether there was any malice in their heart. If they make a decision on what was presented to them, what do you want them to do?? If the guy is innocent, I pray the Lord will rectify that as well. We all know there are many innocent people in prison.
If she weighed about 600 pounds, it would be credible that she had been impaled during her fall on on the hay rake. (I haven’t been watching the trial, I’m sure they covered this: the tines on a hay rake are not sharp, you don’t want to chop the hay into little bits) This “accident” required a lot of extra force from another person. That is why the investigators knew immediately it was no accident.
@@irenemax3574 So and how do you put someone in a place when its physically impossible that he was there? His sun testified that he was always with him..

Of course he's guilty! 6 holes in her body from an "accident" with a 4 pronged fork and googling about cheating women and punishment for killing cheating wives! GUILTY, he deserves to be where he is!
also not once did he ever say "I love my wife. I would never hurt her. I want to find out who did this" from jump he went in with his little story. never talked about any positive qualities she had or what a good mom she was and how much effort and help she put into the farm. calling her yelling at her to get back to work when her uncle was dying of a brain bleed and needed help.
Casey Anthony had more evidence than this trial and walked away free. She literally had her baby in her trunk, led investigators on a wild goose chase to even a dead end hallway where she supposedly worked and LIED about it, hid her deceased child for over a month, had her deceased (proven) in her car and in the woods where animals got to her. Accused an innocent woman for kidnapping her baby while babysitting, accused her father of molestation (a cop yet) then lied to police over and over and is out free today living a lavita life!

Do I believe he’s guilty with all I know? Yes. But everyone of us deserves a fair trial. I don’t think he got one. he had a horrible attorney who didn’t do his job. Many times he didn’t object and pretty much threw Todd under the bus during closing arguments. Prosecutor was wrong leading jury to believe that tape.
@@kellijanssen1171 And, so what exactly is so telling about it then? That they chose not to participate in a process that is against the values of a democracy based on due process because their relative and friend got railroaded.
He's guilty as heck but I believe he will get a new trial due to ineffective assistance of counsel. His attorney was horrible - the worst I've ever seen.
I don’t see that he’s guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I don’t know if he did it or not but regardless, I don’t think the state proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt, so I don’t think he should’ve been found guilty. I don’t think a person should be found guilty unless there’s proof. Too many innocent people are sent to prison and either die there or get out decades later. For the past two decades it’s been all over the news of people getting out of prison due to wrongful convictions, usually thanks to 🧬. That’s not possible in this case, so if he is innocent....then this is a huge miscarriage of justice. I think it’s worse to put someone in prison for the rest of their life IF there is any possibility they are innocent, than for someone who’s guilty to get away with it. Of course it’s terrible for a guilty person to be let off and then murder someone else, but I do think it’s worse to convict an innocent person than it is to not convict a guilty person. Plus, I think he acts like an innocent person. He could just be a good actor, but anyway those are my thoughts. Feel free to disagree.
I completely agree. The state should have never been allowed to state their opinion on what they believed he whispered in the 911 call. People can’t un-hear things and once the state made that claim it most definitely played a part in what the jury thought. I do not believe the state proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
I wish his family would have spoken in his defense.He just is devastated. At least the child will have money .Who is caring for his three children? A sad case .
Thank God that they were sent to their mothers family and not the family of Todds who hated her just like Todd....his family knows he killed her, do you think he wasn't complaining to his family all the time??? His mother told her off just a while before, they all had a hand in this....he had told them that he was not giving up his land to her!!!?? Greed and hate and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE were hard at play and Todd won the right prize.....he should have planned way better.......
Where are you people coming from that are irate about this outcome? Are you family and friends of Todd Mullins? I’m not jumping on the “he’s innocent bandwagon”. I think the jury got it right.
If it was a murder then did his son do it? The one that didnt shed a tear? The one that may have seen her emailing her boyfriend at 10:14 that morning? The one who now claims he doesnt know HOW long he was gone from the hog barn for water?! 🤔
What convicted him was there way to many holes in her back. the corn rake didn't have that many prongs, not only that the holes weren't even lined up... guilty as f###!!!
If he was in the hog barn the entire time with his son Tristan until they finally finished what they were doing and Tristan ran to find the mother how in the world did he do it? Did I miss something
Yes you missed the son's testimony. He admitted in court that his father was gone and he doesn't know how long he was gone for. He lied before probably to help his dad.
For a person who supposedly loved his wife; Todd hadn't showed any emotion on the witness stand. Those Google searches and Tristan's testimony sealed the deal for The State
Autopsy showed she was stabbed twice with the pitch fork. Unless it was the son? The fact that there is even a question....suggests a thorough investigation hasn't been done.
I dont think he did it. There is way to many ways this couldve went. She couldve fell back on the rake and tried to pull herself off of it and fell back on it, all them married men she was sleeping with, their wives. And it doesnt take a genius to see security cameras and know u need to find a way to disable them if u dont want to get caught. Anybody wanting to kill her couldve done that.
@@kristenmunoz4829 I wonder why? Could it be she needed love and had to look elsewhere because her husband turned out to be a moron and was most likely raising red flags.

Why did no one think Amy's former lover could be so angry she dumped him to go back to her husband that he would kill her & frame her husband? Some people are very patient & will let a lot of time pass before taking revenge. It is also very possible that being dizzy, she simply fell back onto the rake, tried to make it to and/or through the door to get help but just could not make it., and so died.
I’m not convinced he did it, unless I missed something, if he stabbed her with this rake you would have to use force I would think there would be blood splatter on his face or hair or something.

@Sandrina Otelli Maybe the bf's wife or the bf's. Just because his phone ping off a cell tower doesn't mean the phone was with him.

He did testify...did you watch the trial?
when they said he whispered CW, he didn't defend himself if he didn't say that.

You know who didn't get a fair trial?????

That is all. Thank you."

Also, why did the prosecution not analyze under her fingernails since she had defense wounds?
That‘s exactly what I wondered from the beginning!
I analyzed the original 911 call. He said none of what the Sate implied!

@@unapologeticallyme7664 i feel the same
Definitely not enough evidence to lock a man away for life
I felt that as well. The whole google search thing was not examined well enough (you can search using anyone's google account) and the prosecution feeding the jury words from the tape reminded me of the whole Yany vs Laurel sound thing a year or so ago. If he did it, then he's where he should be; however, logically, there is not enough evidence for him to have been convicted.
I feel you put the wrong man away, You should look into her lover more.
I thought about the lover too. I don’t believe 100% he’s guilty and can’t get to grips with a unanimous verdict on this. Surely he’d have had blood on him before reentering the hog house? Surely his son would have seen blood on his dad before he found his mum or his dad came to shouts from his son....? I’m not convinced enough to say he’s 100% guilty.
@Lavern n very true, especially a 14 yr old...their dads are their kings at that age most naturally...yes he would have ...I'd still hate to be on this jury though cuz even though I do think he had motive and son could've defended dad, not 100 percent sure...hate to not hold justice either way.
I would like this guy to get a retrial. Why didn't his defense talk about the laws of physics and time we're not possible.
I agree. I think she was murdered, but not by him. He didn't have enough time. Plus, he is very honest about all of his surges, even the incriminating ones.
I feel there should have been more investigation into the boyfriend he knew the grounds well and they had spoke that morning and he was upset that she wouldn’t let it go because he was trying to get things back with his wife. The so-called facts in this case have never set well with me. He was a very hard worker and he was in the middle of his workday getting ready to go in and have lunch and had plans to work that afternoon why would he decide to fit A murder into the middle of this and then stop and report it. I believe the boyfriends alibi was his wife and of course she would lie for him she probably felt flattered that he would kill in her honor, Todd knew of other infidelities and he continued to keep his family together in the past.
His counsel was HORRIBLE in his trial!
he needs a new trial for sure the jury would have been swayed by her statement, and his legal team let him down.
They sure did let him down. They railroaded him.
Most murders end up back in court heavier when they went in. Todd looks sick and withered from it all, from stress, depression ect. I really feel he tried to do what was right by getting her to the hospital himself. He could of just let her lay there and waited for the ambulance and let her die there in a dirty shed with a corn rake in her back. Killers don't try to help their victims or remove what killed their victims.
@@divinetiming8422 they sure did
@@divinetiming8422 They often do what he did to make it look good!
It's a very sad case, especially for the son. This man had a reputation of having a fierce temper and a very controlling personality. His wife cheated on him twice, when she knew it could cost her her life. She told her girlfriend and her lover that he would kill her before allowing a divorce. I could not care less what the 911 tape sounds like. He did this. He was NOT a loving husband. He was a jailer who became enraged when his prisoner tried to escape. He killed her and made his son try to give him an alibi. If he hadn't stabbed her twice she might not have died, but if she had died after one stroke, he might have gotten away with it. You could fall on a cornrake once, but not twice, at the depth that those tines went. Absolutely not possible. She was murdered. He had means, motive and opportunity. He is right where he belongs and justice is served.
I agree, but I also believe that he said that during the 911 call.
She probably was feeling dizzy, which she said herself, backed into the corn rake then passed out on it. It’s not hard to figure out. Originally the son said his dad was with him the whole time and changed his story. He says “she’s so cold on the 911 call.

They had been misled by the prosecutor’s interpretation of the recording of the 911 call. I was surprised his defending lawyer didn’t object that.
Get over it, he killed his wife because he hated her for cheating on him and as he told someone, "" I have worked too hard to give it up to her "". He was not going to sell off part of his land to give to some cheating wife who obviously was finished with Todd Mullins and she couldn't wait to leave and divorce him.......his family, parents, brothers and sisters all knew how much he hated her and they know that he did kill her..... he got exactly what he deserves.......he stuck a corn rake into her 3 times, well in the big house, he will be having RELATIONS by other inmates 3 times a day....you reap what you sow Todd Mullins.....
I wouldn’t be able to go to sleep at night if I was one of the 12 jurors and if I had been, I sure wouldn’t have found him guilty. Not enough evidence.

There was no proof he killed her? Nothing else about the farm or affairs mattered.

He claims to be so calm throughout his wife’s affairs but what did he intend when he called the wife of the man his wife was having an affair with? And even if we cannot hear clearly what he is whispering, WHY IS HE WHISPERING ANYTHING which he conveniently can’t recall? Wouldn’t he be saying something like “please come back” or “please don’t go” or “why us?” You know, something which indicates he is UPSET! 😀 There was so much evidence it was ridiculous.

@@frozenboot68 she couldve fell on the rake twice. It's plausible. The google searches are the only thing that is suspect but what would you do if I were to search up your search history?

His son said he was with him the whole time then retracted to maybe I was away for A MINUTE. A MINUTE. Even assuming the second story, Todd didnt have enough time to do everything. Your 4th point is more or less irrelevant. 5th point: Chest compressions. You whisper during the counting phase when attempting chest compressions and him not remembering what he said is normal. The brain can shut off and block out any traumatic events. It happens. Thats why you have people who genuinely do not remember murdering or shooting anyone such as the case with that teenage boy who shot his parents. So he mightve not even been doing chest compression. His brain just blocked that part out. There was evidence. But EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE was circumstanstial, weak or explained.

@@justicejane2429 he would of had no remorse to help her and get her to a hospital. He also could of killed her and got away with it if he "really wanted her gone" by many different ways than a corn rake with 6 holes in her not 8. Come on now!
Reading the comments, I can see a lot of them have adopted the prosecutor's theory of the case including her language that the victim was 'stabbed' with the corn rake. Stabbing is possible with a pitchfork but not a corn rake. Take a moment to look at how a corn rake is constructed and my point will be immediately obvious. The tines are rounded at about a 90 degree angle from the handle with the tips curving even more back toward the handle. If Mr. Mullis had an effective attorney he would have hired an accident reconstruction expert to testify.
I never would have thought of this and can't imagine any of the jurors would have either. I feel like this could have gone either way but this is such a great point and further solidifies that he deserved better counsel.
yep
I'm not saying that Todd did it but Amy was found on her hands and knees. The killer could have pushed her from behind. She falls to the floor, causing the hand injuries and what looked to me like a chin scrape from that picture during Closing. Then the Corn Rake was swung down and into her back.
@@BizarreBazaarBW Except that there were two sets of wounds. One which penetrated in an upward direction and another in a downward direction. The barn was packed full of stuff and the walkways very narrow. There is also the timeframe that the son testified to. Investigators also found no other footprints from the hog barn where Mullis and his son were working to the one where she was except the front one that both he and his son used. The son testified he never left the barn. So you can come up with scenarios from now until doomsday but the one the prosecutor used and the one you pulled out of the air aren't proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Did you read what I said? I said I don't know who did it. And my scenario was just an example of how one could be stabbed with a Corn Rake since you said that stabbing someone with a Corn Rake isn't possible.
She was wrong to have an affair. I get it. However, murder is is not the answer. He should have let her go. They could have both lead happy lives after divorce. Divorce NOT murder!

Let’s just imagine Todd really didn’t do this. Could it have been one of her lovers or their partners wasn’t really bought up in trial
For sure.NOT!!+
Lol they ran over THERE real fast in that short period of time and killed her and left without being seen or heard.
No I highly doubt it and for no good reason. They weren't looking up how to kill unfaithful wives. . Nor were they about to lose half of their farm in home knowing that she was planning on leaving
They said that the guy she had the affair with his cell phone never pinged in that area that day. Such a lame excuse. If you were smart and were going to kill someone you know to leave your cell phone home for that very reason. He had no other alibi than that.
It was brought up. Her only lover at that time was Jerry Frazier, and police looked into him, his cell records/location & alibi checked out- he was hours away.
Just because she is Cheating and he didn't want split up things in a Divorce. Would be been better than being in Prison
How can they convict him when they lack evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he killed her?!

I'm in no way defending this guy, but unless you come from a farming community where the land has been in the family for generations and generations, losing some of it in a divorce is like cutting your head off. The land is everything - it is your livelihood, your "family jewel", if you will. His emotions were all wrapped up in that concept and he lost control.

This case is ripe for a new trial. His defense attorney at trial was incompetent in a variety of ways, but most glaringly when he conceded in opening statements that this was a murder (vs. leaving the possibility of an accident on the table for consideration) - the burden was on the prosecution to prove that, but the defense forfeited that at the outset.

Todd and his son were concerned with getting her to the hospital and didn't check. There was ample time between them leaving for the hospital and the police arriving at the farm for someone to leave without being noticed.

It felt very much like he was just there holding space as representation and nothing more. Such a tragic demise of what appears to once have been a really loving family. Ugh.
Agreed...good possiblity of guilt, but some doubt...he either very bright or very under minded...not 100% sure
@@annameadows397 WHAT???
@@annameadows397 What do you mean by "under minded"? I'm confused.
i’ve watched this whole case n he should not have been found guilty !!,his defence lawyer was terrible and basically handed Todd up on a plate
This guy is innocent, what probably happened is that this was in fact a weird accident, she probably fall on the rake and when was trying to get up, slipped and got on the rake again. the fact that she was in on her knees is because maybe she didn't die instantly. Todd was with his son all the time. It's crazy how lightly this people send an innocent man to jail for the rest of his life. One day all this people, gonna answer for what they did, and they will be punished for being so shallow playing with others people lives.
What is shallow about these people doing their jobs Were? Were you there or within earshot of the jury's deliberations? Being on a jury is not easy and not like on TV. Most folks who have been called to jury try their best. Of course, there are examples when this goes wrong or they are flat out wrong. God will judge, but maybe not the way you are thinking. He knows whether there was any malice in their heart. If they make a decision on what was presented to them, what do you want them to do?? If the guy is innocent, I pray the Lord will rectify that as well. We all know there are many innocent people in prison.
If she weighed about 600 pounds, it would be credible that she had been impaled during her fall on on the hay rake. (I haven’t been watching the trial, I’m sure they covered this: the tines on a hay rake are not sharp, you don’t want to chop the hay into little bits) This “accident” required a lot of extra force from another person. That is why the investigators knew immediately it was no accident.
@@irenemax3574 So and how do you put someone in a place when its physically impossible that he was there? His sun testified that he was always with him.. Something is not right in all this, and you cant say without any reasonable doubt that it was him.. so no, I don't think it was a fair trial. If you have sentences for life, you can not have any mistake, and there were some in this trial..
@@kaybee4132 I understand what you saying but the thing is that this system with this long sentences, they don't leave room for any mistake, and so in case of doubt innocence should be chosen, not send someone to prison for the rest of his life..
@@cometazer0 Agreed.
Convicted off of zero evidence.. how does that even work..
Same with Scott peterson and darlie routier. All 3 of these cases blow my mind.
I hardly ever say this but.....he definitely needs a new trial. I actually feel really bad for him. I just don’t believe that he is truly guilty.
How do you feel bad for a man who controlled and terrorized his wife to the point she was in fear for her life??
Of course he's guilty! 6 holes in her body from an "accident" with a 4 pronged fork and googling about cheating women and punishment for killing cheating wives! GUILTY, he deserves to be where he is!
also not once did he ever say "I love my wife. I would never hurt her. I want to find out who did this" from jump he went in with his little story. never talked about any positive qualities she had or what a good mom she was and how much effort and help she put into the farm. calling her yelling at her to get back to work when her uncle was dying of a brain bleed and needed help.
Casey Anthony had more evidence than this trial and walked away free. She literally had her baby in her trunk, led investigators on a wild goose chase to even a dead end hallway where she supposedly worked and LIED about it, hid her deceased child for over a month, had her deceased (proven) in her car and in the woods where animals got to her. Accused an innocent woman for kidnapping her baby while babysitting, accused her father of molestation (a cop yet) then lied to police over and over and is out free today living a lavita life! What a terrible trial this was!!!
45:19-46:10 shows the worst liar EVER. His non verbal cues say it all. Knowing nothing about this case.....he is guiltier acting than Chris Watts.
He is as guilty as they come. That's it.
Did I miss something ??
Where is the blood on his clothing before son found mom
Is there blood splatter on walls n whatever in shed ?
Umm pretty sure the rake had a pretty long handle ! Plus only 2 times put in enough for a clean kill
@@ceecee333 The handle was broke off. Did you not watch the trial?
@@dragonflypromoise7774 The corn rake handle was broken into two pieces but still had a portion of the handle attached. The broken handle was in the aisle near Amy's body.
@@lr6844 there would be some blood splatter, especially if she was struck twice
@@csea4672 Totally agree; should be blood splatter .
So unfair, I think he did not do it
I hope this man gets a new trial and his children get him back. He had weak counsel and the Prosecutor was 100% wrong.
He deserves a new trial
Hundred percent
And she deserved to see her kids grow up into adults. But he took that away from her and them. Therefore, his life outside the farm is over!
Do I believe he’s guilty with all I know? Yes. But everyone of us deserves a fair trial. I don’t think he got one. he had a horrible attorney who didn’t do his job. Many times he didn’t object and pretty much threw Todd under the bus during closing arguments. Prosecutor was wrong leading jury to believe that tape.
I pretty much think and feel in line with all you said.
Pretty telling that no one stood up and spoke for him.
Exactly
Maybe he told them not to come. You don't know. What something "tells" you may not be true. Consider that.
Kris Craft they were sitting right behind him. If you watched the video through to the end you see them standing there talking.
@@kellijanssen1171 And, so what exactly is so telling about it then? That they chose not to participate in a process that is against the values of a democracy based on due process because their relative and friend got railroaded.
He needs a new trial .
his lawyer was sort of a joke
Why waste money he is as guilty as oj
@@bailey5883 NOBODY is a guilty as O.J, NOBODY!!!
He's guilty as heck but I believe he will get a new trial due to ineffective assistance of counsel. His attorney was horrible - the worst I've ever seen.
He paid for those attorneys. 🤷♀️
Well now he is yalking at the end..he shouldve said this..he mightve not read all the story till later and messed him up.
I hope he gets a retrial
It was denied. I couldn't even believe it
Geez, this is so wrong, someone help him please!!😢
I don’t see that he’s guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I don’t know if he did it or not but regardless, I don’t think the state proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt, so I don’t think he should’ve been found guilty.
I don’t think a person should be found guilty unless there’s proof. Too many innocent people are sent to prison and either die there or get out decades later. For the past two decades it’s been all over the news of people getting out of prison due to wrongful convictions, usually thanks to 🧬. That’s not possible in this case, so if he is innocent....then this is a huge miscarriage of justice.
I think it’s worse to put someone in prison for the rest of their life IF there is any possibility they are innocent, than for someone who’s guilty to get away with it. Of course it’s terrible for a guilty person to be let off and then murder someone else, but I do think it’s worse to convict an innocent person than it is to not convict a guilty person.
Plus, I think he acts like an innocent person. He could just be a good actor, but anyway those are my thoughts. Feel free to disagree.
Completely agree. This jury based it off emotion, not evidence.
I completely agree. The state should have never been allowed to state their opinion on what they believed he whispered in the 911 call. People can’t un-hear things and once the state made that claim it most definitely played a part in what the jury thought. I do not believe the state proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
I completely agree with you
True Crime Playlists exactly!
Just Ravyn totally agree!
I have nothing but my gut, and my gut is right more than not. He didnt do this.....
Please dont bash me. It's just what I believe...
So y'all really believe this man didn't kill his wife?
I wish his family would have spoken in his defense.He just is devastated. At least the child will have money .Who is caring for his three children? A sad case .
I believe the maternal grandparents have the children.
Thank God that they were sent to their mothers family and not the family of Todds who hated her just like Todd....his family knows he killed her, do you think he wasn't complaining to his family all the time??? His mother told her off just a while before, they all had a hand in this....he had told them that he was not giving up his land to her!!!?? Greed and hate and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE were hard at play and Todd won the right prize.....he should have planned way better.......
Where are you people coming from that are irate about this outcome? Are you family and friends of Todd Mullins? I’m not jumping on the “he’s innocent bandwagon”. I think the jury got it right.
swissoto 1 they got it absolutely right!
He deserves a new trial, this man is not guilty..
Agreed
If it was a murder then did his son do it? The one that didnt shed a tear? The one that may have seen her emailing her boyfriend at 10:14 that morning? The one who now claims he doesnt know HOW long he was gone from the hog barn for water?! 🤔
Right?! I think it was the son and he set up his dad.
Was thinking same thing
My thoughts exactly.
What convicted him was there way to many holes in her back. the corn rake didn't have that many prongs, not only that the holes weren't even lined up... guilty as f###!!!
If he was in the hog barn the entire time with his son Tristan until they finally finished what they were doing and Tristan ran to find the mother how in the world did he do it?
Did I miss something
Yes you missed the son's testimony. He admitted in court that his father was gone and he doesn't know how long he was gone for. He lied before probably to help his dad.
Np, you didnt miss anything.....its a railroad job....He didnt do it....no way
Guilty or innocent the guy had TERRIBLE Lawyers//
He is guilty as sin he done it out of greed to save having to pay Amy a divorce settlement! GUILTY!!!
Todd, your male ego got you into this because of your self righteous anger.
That evil man should have been grateful that he only got life without parole cos he deserved the death sentence.
I AGREE HE GOT RIPPED, AND FOR THE STATE TO DO THAT WAS ABSOLUTE MISCONDUCT !
Totally & just trying to take him to the cleaners
i agree you are a deaf
His lawyers sucked and I don’t believe he said that on the 911 call BUT I still think he did it🤷🏻♀️
For a person who supposedly loved his wife; Todd hadn't showed any emotion on the witness stand. Those Google searches and Tristan's testimony sealed the deal for The State
Autopsy showed she was stabbed twice with the pitch fork. Unless it was the son? The fact that there is even a question....suggests a thorough investigation hasn't been done.
I dont think he did it. There is way to many ways this couldve went. She couldve fell back on the rake and tried to pull herself off of it and fell back on it, all them married men she was sleeping with, their wives. And it doesnt take a genius to see security cameras and know u need to find a way to disable them if u dont want to get caught. Anybody wanting to kill her couldve done that.
He had lazy lousy old men lawyers. They should retire before they get another innocent person sent too prison
Imagine marrying someone you love with all your heart that will some day become your murderer.
Happens a lot. More murders by husbands than by strangers.
Oh yea she loved him with all her heart but had more then one affair cmon
@@kristenmunoz4829 exactly
Yeah it happens too many times.
@@kristenmunoz4829 I wonder why? Could it be she needed love and had to look elsewhere because her husband turned out to be a moron and was most likely raising red flags.
When you cheat and play with someone's emotions you might get killed, right or wrong.
Wrong!
Wrong
I think he's guilty but I didn't like the theory of the state about the 911 tape. Where's the audio experts to enhance the volume and isolate the voice from the background noise. What she *thinks he whispered isn't evidence. I think he should get a new trial.
It took me awhile but I did hear the word whore!!
Only heard it after it was suggested so it shouldn’t even be evidence
I can't belive that the defendant's counsel sat there with his mask not even covering his nose.!!!..
He silly attorney not wearing his mask properly should also be locked up.
Why must ppl cover their nose?
@@csea4672 because you breathe out of your nose. The same particles that come from your mouth, also come from your nose. Please wear you mask correctly and tell others. You can look it up on cdc website where they show you proper mask fitting.
No point even wearing a mask if you dont cover your nose.
They don’t work anyway, so.....
@@fernandapartridge5174 yeap! At first they did, then they didn't, and now they do again lol outside is suppose to be ok yet ppl still wear them outside lol nobody knows what's going on 😆
He is guilty.. he set his wife up so he could attack her. It was greed.
It's so obvious he didn't do this, regardless of the narrative the prosecution ran (Right?) I swear her entire line of questioning sounded like a 13-year-old trying to convince dad to let her take the car to the mall. I do the dishes, right? I hope he appeals, this is a gross miscarriage of justice.
He wasn’t sentenced until today?
Usually takes a year
I was thinking the same thing.
I thought this was suppose to be his sentencing hearing? Why did it take so long to have the sentencing after being found guilty almost a year before?
RETRIAL!!! RETRIAL!!! OH GOD GIVE THIS MAN JUSTES AMAN AND AMAN !!!!
His wife that he murdered just got justice. He's getting exactly what he deserves.
Your spelling is atrocious
I hope Todd Mullis filed for appeal with a different attorney. This is such a miscarriage if justice it is appalling.
His appeal was denied
Why did no one think Amy's former lover could be so angry she dumped him to go back to her husband that he would kill her & frame her husband? Some people are very patient & will let a lot of time pass before taking revenge. It is also very possible that being dizzy, she simply fell back onto the rake, tried to make it to and/or through the door to get help but just could not make it., and so died.
GOOD POINT !!
