I love the prosecutor she had my attention through the entire trial, however I don’t like way that the defense team spoke of the victim evil really does exist!
This prosecutor was born to do this job. She goes in for the kill without being mean spirited or driven by ego - she also keeps the levity of the case and respect for the victim without making her into an angel. Brilliant.
Ms. Jenson (I hope I spelled her name correctly) gave a well organized and articulate prosecution opening that is easy to follow. I also like her professional attire and appearance.
I thought it could have been improved. Reading the texts while continually saying full names along with "this defendant" about 900 times was not what I would call concise. It seemed average to me, but at least it wasn't a Hollywood production like some of them are. The blatant grammatical errors didn't help either. I know, I'm a critic, but those details stand out to me.
They are actually told by their lawyers to be taking notes. helps keep their mind off of their personal emotional reaction to the ongoing testimony and prevents involuntary reactions that the jury may pick up on. Also it supposedly makes them look more professional and like they are actually active in the trial which an innocent person would obviously do to keep themselves out of prison.
Let me get this straight. Taylor, the victim, asked her friend, Ashley, the suspect, to hide money for her. Taylor was divorcing her husband. Ok. Ashley said, she'd hide the money, but instead, spent it on the guy she was seeing. So instead of giving Taylor her money back, Ashley killed her, and is now on trial for her friend's murder. Wow.
@@Vibez-o5k I completely agree! She could have simply said the decedent sent the defendant x number of texts over x number of days, requesting access to the safe deposit box. They're going to show the texts later anyway, which is always more compelling. She went in far too much detail about several issues. For example, who cares about the size of the warehouse at this point! I don't know how long this woman has been practicing, but that's a rookie move!
I guess I'll third this. I agree with the she didnt need to date each text and could have condenced the entire thing and tightened it up. I also didn't like her saying things like "she did x the reason I'm guessing she did that is x. " I don't want to know your guessing about any part of this case. Thar being said, she wasn't awful. I'd say 6.5/7 out of 10. William Brown of the Chandler Halderson trial is the only 10, btw.
Plus I’m sure being murdered by her friend never crossed her mind, a friend who appeared to be well off (bc she had been stealing $$$ from other ppl/businesses) & wouldn’t need her money. Even if she did have a thought that her friend Ashley stole her $ she probably didn’t think she’d kill her over it.
Right? ?? I would’ve been like we’re going to the bank right now you follow me there I’ll drive my own car thank you very much. I don’t even understand why that wasn’t one of the cops FIRST questions to her, like wasnt the whole reason you guys were meeting up to go to the bank that morning? But instead y’all just went to some farm to ride a horse? that doesn’t even make any freaking sense
Unfortunately she didn't realize that her "friend" was a thief and a cold blooded killer. 34k to a well off person isn't that much. you can put that away in about 2 or 3 years with a decent upper middle class job and barely any savings plan. Poor lady had no idea that she would be murdered over so little.
Ashley could’ve made up a lie to Taylor that she had the money hidden in a lock box at her farm. In desperation Taylor believed it and while they where walking towards the destination, Ashley shot her in the back of head.
Excellent opening statements from this DA. Very thorough and believable, watched the interagations with this Ashley, and right away, I thought she was not being totally honest. Looking forward to this trial.
If you're gonna give that advice, might as well add, "make sure you don't drive a car that has a GPS tracking system either"! 😄😂🤣 I know quite a few cases where the GPS led right to the victim's grave.
I would have taken the police, too. I wonder if Taylor was thinking that she didn't want to piss her off and make her even less likely to get anything back. I think somewhere in the back of Taylor's mind, she knew her money was GONE!
@@lillianblake9123 Every time I try to put myself in her shoes I am reminded of the fact that she was on drugs along with the whole host of other problems she had and I simply give up trying to figure her motivations out.

I watched a few videos of Ashley McArthur and there was no sign of remorse, even in court, there was no sign of discomfort, you could see her demeanour "just as calm and as normal" as could be. There was some make-up she put on and other than that, as charming and as "graceful" as what the editor said. We are seeing a "pyschopath" and she is one of them.
Great work Prosecutor❗ You spoke so clear and concise which makes a case easily understandable. Also, classy clothing makes a great statement all on its own.
While listening to the texts between the victim and her trusted "friend", I just keep thinking of the complete audacity of the defendant blowing Taylor off when the urgency and importance of getting her money were both made perfectly clear. Pretty sure she did this on purpose, possibly not just buying time, but perhaps purposefully utilized in crafting her evil plan to lead Taylor toward her own demise.
Even an attorney doesn’t write as much as her…she is just faking writing because she did not assume her acts and doesn’t want to watch the prosecutor in her eyes because the prosecutor is saying the truth…
Watch the interrogation vids with Jodi. She tried to HARD to flirt with the officers and after many, many hours and more and more the cops told her they knew she did it- her demeanor changed exactly the same as this monster.
The same thing in the Sabrina Limon trial (for conspiring w/her paramour to kill her husband). She doodled her way through the entire trial while hiding away from the camera that was fixed on her. I swear, if I was being wrongfully tried for murder, I'd be tuned in to every single word being spoken!
Here's what i think happened. Ashley spent Taylor's money. She was worried about getting caught and tried to stall meeting up at the bank. Taylor was about to be put in jail so she didn't have much time to wait and chase Ashley around. She wanted that money and probably was getting tired of Ashley. They meet up, Ashley convinced her to go to Britt Rd. Taylor is getting impatient, either Ashley told her she spent the money or Taylor figured it out. An argument ensued, Ashley knew she was going to get her ass kicked, sued or maybe Taylor knew about her frauding and killed her.
She's writing to her future husband who is also incarcerated and whom will marry her even though she'll be doing life, lol, just a guess, off top! 😁😉💃🙃😁
Guilty people always do. To zone out of what’s going on! Jodie Arias done the exact same! Try to make themselves look “busy” “less guilty” when really it does the opposite. If that was me (innocent) I would be sat paying attention to each word to think how I could prove my innocence or any gaps to let my lawyer know! But nope not these crazy, guilty women. They sit head down, trying not to listen to how evil they are!
Kareem Clemons without listening to the defence mmm your very wrong in not listening to both sides thats why jurors shouldnt be judge a judge with the evidence and lawyers

@@K9_Queen19 I don't know about "fair to say" but I think its a trick way to get a yes answer. I KNOW that using the contraction 'NT when you ask a question is DEFINITELY a way to get a yes answer, even if the following sentence will be the person explaining why the answer isn't yes. For example: "The evidence against Ashley is quite compelling but she could still be innocent, COULDN'T she?" In the flow of conversation, people will say "yes" and they will either pause at a loss for words or will then explain why its not a yes. It just works!
wow they put you in jail if you don't pay your child support? That's harsh. I would think you would have a right to a court date about that at least before throwing in jail.
@@infinitejest441 No they still go after the dad by finding out where they work. After, they take the money from their pay check. They don't over crowd the jail system for something like that. That is why America is overflowing with crowded jails. They lock you up for almost anything there.
If you get far enough behind you can.I think Florida has a loophole where they can't take your money from your check for child support, thats why dead beat dads go to Florida.
Some people literally have no soul. Her friend trusted her. She didn't just steal 1 or 2k nope. She took it all spent it killed her and has nothing to show for it. Not one damn thing. This defies being human. PS at least it's not a dead baby case or hopefully dismemberment as in not.
Feral Chicken yep you are right ☹️ but those children now don’t have their Mum!! All because of this evil woman. She should of just been honest and said look I’ve spent it / lost the money! No one needed to die. No matter how bad things get in life everything can be sorted!! We don’t need to kill each other or ourselves 😢
Was she hiding the money so her husband wouldn’t be able to have a claim on it, or was she hiding it to make it look like she had less than she had in order to squeeze more out of the divorce? The prosecutor said herself her actions in hiding the money were wrong. If she’d been honest she’d still be alive.
@@maryjanedavis9033 you missed the point ; nobody said she needed to die . Her dishonest actions opened the door to her demise is the point. HAD there been no money to hide in that divorce , it's true she would still be alive - such a shame .
"A former crime scene investigator has been convicted of first degree premeditated murder killing a woman for money and burying her body in Cantonment".this defendant isa c.s.i crime scene tech?...what the effin eff !
McArthur is taking notes during the opening statement. They probably read: "I bought potting soil. I bought concrete. I killed and buried Taylor Wright."
I always wonder what the heck is defendent writing. Taylor tried to do wrong to her husband and wrong doing was done to her. What a shame now her child has to grow up without his mother. It doesn't pay to do dirt.

She's writing to her future husband who is also incarcerated and whom will marry her even though she'll be doing life, lol, just a guess, off top! 😁😉💃🙃😁
Guilty people always do. To zone out of what’s going on! Jodie Arias done the exact same!
Try to make themselves look “busy” “less guilty” when really it does the opposite.
If that was me (innocent) I would be sat paying attention to each word to think how I could prove my innocence or any gaps to let my lawyer know!
But nope not these crazy, guilty women. They sit head down, trying not to listen to how evil they are!
I MUST NOT MURDER ..I MUST NOT MURDER
She reminds me of that crazy ass Tiffany Moss.
Dick pics for her cell walls
Always love it when defendants take notes as if they are the attorney. No difference here.
Ba bye Ashley.
She was scared to look at the prosecutor with a straight face lol
😂😂😂😂 and lort knows they're just scribbling trying to avoid eye contact….. Always grinds my gears
Great Video👍
Fantastic, Opening! I'm now convinced, SHE GUITY!
The DA knows how to tell a story to keep you interested.
@@brittany7jeffrey4 Totally! :D
Kareem Clemons without listening to the defence mmm your very wrong in not listening to both sides thats why jurors shouldnt be judge a judge with the evidence and lawyers
George Mantzaris I heard it now! SHE GUILTY

Prosecutor nailed it!!
"To get to that ending we have to start at the beginning"
Really tho. Lol
When are people going to learn that their cell phone is a 24/7 tracking device.
365 days x 25 years = 9,125 days / $34,000 = $0.26 per day.
It doesn’t make much difference, but the equation is $34,000/9125 days = $3.72 per day in jail. Really sad.
Nailed it.
Excellent opening
Write "My lawyer told me not to react and pretend to write something" 1000 times
Bro...I thought the person ur talking about was like an intern or something lmaooo
Yes justice was served Great Job State! And Thank u to the Jury for getting it right! Many Prayers to the family and friends 🙏🙏🙏
This judge is unprofessional and needs to be assigned to traffic court. She'll have a blanket waiting for you.
Really thought she was very professional right through the trial.
I love this prosecutor. StraIghtforward and clear.
Right! 👍❤️👍 she's AWESOME! I mean she tried this whole case by HERSELF she's AMAZING!
i always wonder wtf the defendants are writing lol
Right tho! I would LOVE to 👀 what she's been scribbling and scrabbling 😂
Ashley looks like she’s not feeling any emotion, I wouldn’t be able to live with this
This is gonna be a good one guys :-)
Totally agree. Better than the last one with the Ho who liked uncle.
I hope you are right- it's been so long! what happened to the trial about the dentist's family and the assiatnt? something like that - murder for hire, etc. Thanks.
@@bluejackgirlyx idk which one your talking about but this one is good bc the defendant just acts gulity lolol.... She is trying too hard to look innocent lolol.... It's fun bc she obviously killed the poor girl....
Yeah she is guilty as all get out....
If this Prosecutor had represented Derek Chauvin He would have been found guilting of not rendering aid to a Drug Overdose in a timley manner..
Uh, what?
Love the Opening Statement very Necessary
Another cold hearted killer w/ zero emotion, just like Hodi,( Jodi Arias)
Never trust anyone with your money ANYONE
THAT part tho! 👍
Wow...great opening prosecution!
We are all getting recommendations from this channel + other court cases ? Depp v Heard will be apart of our UA-cam lives for life haha !
Love the opening statement, a true and factual outline of what happened...
Spoke beautifully.
End the trial right there, and send the criminal to death row.
The suspect is there like the DA is not talking about her
Any defendant is advised to sit quietly and listen to the testimony without reacting to it.
I can't stand hearing this educated attorney keep saying "her and Taylor" when she should be saying "she and Taylor." Come on. Basic English people!
Exactly....OMG...... She and Taylor....
pridenprejudice2004 Or, she could say, “while she was at the farm with Taylor, “....Something like that. I am really big on grammar. When people refuse to use Add verbs, (my iPad doesn’t even know what an adverb is), I always tell them that my mission in life is to bring back the (effort! And for ad for)...That’s my iPad trying to spell the word ‘adverb’. I hope you understand what I said.
Jude Christenson but she did add some verbs into her speech such as “supply” and “involve”
I cant stand crazy grammer correctors. Someone was killed here
Your are an idiot
I can't stand grammar nazi's
When did “fair to say” become all the rage amongst defense attorneys? It gets old pretty quickly.
It is annoying. But still better than defense lawyer Mull's "isn't it true" phrase! (Rosenbaum trial)
Yes. Mull was annoying.
@@K9_Queen19 I don't know about "fair to say" but I think its a trick way to get a yes answer. I KNOW that using the contraction 'NT when you ask a question is DEFINITELY a way to get a yes answer, even if the following sentence will be the person explaining why the answer isn't yes. For example: "The evidence against Ashley is quite compelling but she could still be innocent, COULDN'T she?" In the flow of conversation, people will say "yes" and they will either pause at a loss for words or will then explain why its not a yes. It just works!
I agree with “tampajohn”. How could a former CSI not know that information about cellphone towers?
What do you think her notes say....guilty scribbled 1000 times😜
wow they put you in jail if you don't pay your child support? That's harsh. I would think you would have a right to a court date about that at least before throwing in jail.
You must be overflowing with deadbeat dads
@@infinitejest441 No they still go after the dad by finding out where they work. After, they take the money from their pay check. They don't over crowd the jail system for something like that. That is why America is overflowing with crowded jails. They lock you up for almost anything there.
If you get far enough behind you can.I think Florida has a loophole where they can't take your money from your check for child support, thats why dead beat dads go to Florida.
This prosecutor is awesome seen her in other trials ! She demands justice for the victims . Rest In Peace Taylor Wright
Some people literally have no soul. Her friend trusted her. She didn't just steal 1 or 2k nope. She took it all spent it killed her and has nothing to show for it. Not one damn thing. This defies being human.
PS at least it's not a dead baby case or hopefully dismemberment as in not.
Feral Chicken yep you are right ☹️ but those children now don’t have their Mum!! All because of this evil woman.
She should of just been honest and said look I’ve spent it / lost the money!
No one needed to die. No matter how bad things get in life everything can be sorted!! We don’t need to kill each other or ourselves 😢
She spent this money on her nose.
Lot of expense, time and energy to get only a 25 year sentence. This is the injustice.
Was she hiding the money so her husband wouldn’t be able to have a claim on it, or was she hiding it to make it look like she had less than she had in order to squeeze more out of the divorce? The prosecutor said herself her actions in hiding the money were wrong. If she’d been honest she’d still be alive.
No, if ashley wasn’t a killer, she’d still be alive. Let’s not blame the victim. It doesn’t matter what she was hiding she didn’t need to die
@@maryjanedavis9033 you missed the point ; nobody said she needed to die . Her dishonest actions opened the door to her demise is the point. HAD there been no money to hide in that divorce , it's true she would still be alive - such a shame .
Classic victim blaming. Her being deceitful about money doesn't give reason for her to be murdered.
@@ShugaAnnSpyceexactly!👍
"A former crime scene investigator has been convicted of first degree premeditated murder killing a woman for money and burying her body in Cantonment".this defendant isa c.s.i crime scene tech?...what the effin eff !
I always wonder what defendants are writing. I mean, isn’t that what their lawyers are for? 🤷🏼♀️
Amateurs, caramels and mustache are 3 words that you can make from Ashley McArthur.
Lemurs, trash, cameras
McArthur is taking notes during the opening statement. They probably read: "I bought potting soil. I bought concrete. I killed and buried Taylor Wright."
What is she writing instead of listening
When lawyers say "may I please the court" why do judges stay silent or in this case stare at they lawyer as if she insulted her,
They are saying “May _it_ please the Court, ...” This is formulaic speech, prescribed by court etiquette.
All that for $34K??? Wow life in prison for $34K
I just don’t get it.......
I always wonder what the heck is defendent writing. Taylor tried to do wrong to her husband and wrong doing was done to her. What a shame now her child has to grow up without his mother. It doesn't pay to do dirt.
She is writing hangman emojis because that is what they going to do to her at the end of this trial.
How does taylor getting money from her ex compare to her death. Cruel statement you made
If she were your family you might not feel or think they way you do
Great comment. I don't think it was just the financial fraud that caused her death tho...
What’s she writing? Is she taking notes because it has nothing to do with her???
Why would a Detective want to go to the Other Family McAurther Property .. Tha's like warning the Suspect that you suspect them of Murder..
Wow who needs a friend like her! Not me.
