I appreciate the timeline. Especially since I sat through the trial. Nice to hear something I might have missed 👍
Unbelievable ‼️
I personally felt Tucker was quilty.
However 3 grown men acting like High School kids is unreal....
Tucker said his goons should be court ordered to stay off fb. On fb during court. I hope the Judge puts the GAG ORDER in place.
Tucker thinks he's a big Man with a hung Jury. The Judge needs to put his cocky attitude in check.
I agree with what you say here! I am eagerly awaiting the next trial. They need new prosecutors though.@@Victoria_USA_
Why a mistrial?
Because 1 or more jurors could not be convinced. I am really looking forward to finding out the truth!@@elainethomas9532
When prosecutors can’t actually out lawyer a pro se defendant…give up…you’re losers and just wasting taxpayer $.
I agree, but they've already rescheduled a pretrial for March 7th. I hope he has a lawyer for that.
That's exactly what I said. The prosecutor is just butt hurt because they lost to a pro se defendant. Tye did as good of a job as he could but I do think he should get an attorney for the next trial just to dot his I's and cross his T's.
Exactly
if he had a lawyer, he would almost certainly be acquitted. @@LDiamondz
How does the concept of diplomatic immunity affect the prosecution of crimes committed by diplomats?
A hung jury speaks volumes about about the fact that there is reasonable doubt. Considering he defended himself without lawyers, and they still couldn't convict him, it's crazy to retry this case. They even offered him a plea deal for time already served. It's a huge waste of time and tax money to try him again.
The only reason I can imagine them offering time served is if they know they don't have enough on him to justify the time he's already spent inside. Idk what the truth of the matter is, but something isn't right.
I agree. 💯
Yeah I was shocked when the judge immediately said We need to get this case back on the docket... Why? Is there not more than enough reason to at least reconsider that before jumping back into it?
I really want to see a retrial. To get some kind of definitive answer here! I have a lot of questions still ....On both sides!
@@waynefoote3781 well, I think it's safe to assume that at least the defendant will get much better the second time around.. I'm not sure about the prosecution, they seem pretty prideful so idk that they will be able to go back and give themselves an honest overview of what went wrong.
real kick in the faces of prosecutors...they couldn't win the case against a man who isn't a lawyer
gotta give this fella credit, he did what most could never do & thats defend himself well enough to actually create reasonable doubt
@@TruthOnly24The law as empowered by constitution makes him innocent. You lose the constitutional/legal presumption of innocence, ONLY if you are convicted beyond a reasonable doubt.
That has not happened yet, so this result most certainly does make him currently innocent - legally speaking of course.
As such, in the specific context of his current legal status as “innocent”, the question left to answer for yourself is - do you support the law as empowered by the constitution, or only when it fits your personal preconceived narratives and confirmation biases?
@eugenewood721 well said! I agree.
Isn't it alarming to consider the ease with which digital footprints can be exploited for crime?
The truth always wins if you didn't do it. How many innocent people are in prison right now even though they had a lawyer and were told to not take the stand? If think we should see more defendants represent themselves.
@@TruthOnly24 Not at ANY point in my comment did I ever mention his guilt or innocence or my views on that aspect of the case, I simply commented on what we ALL observed & that was him doing EXACTLY what I commented....defending himself enough to create reasonable doubt...bc he did....that has nothing to do with guilt or innocence, or how I feel on that aspect
The judge is incredibly biased for the prosecution. Even with the judge and the prosecution both teaming up together pretty much, he still didn’t get convicted
I don't think the judge was biased. I think he got close through pure frustration but I think he managed to maintain the rule of law and showed no bias.
I agree with you. It seemed to me that the Judge was already set in his mind to be irritated with the defendant. Contrasting Ty to Darrell Brooks' defending himself I'd say Ty was much more respectful. People complain about him being arrogant. I think he's up against these prosecutors and they've been quite condescending towards him. I don't blame him for not acting as the most calm, meek guy in the room. It's his future and reputation he's fighting for.
@@irishhoopers6899 if he got close because of frustration, then he shouldn’t be a judge. He’s supposed to keep his composure. If he was the judge of the Darrel brooks trial, he would have most certainly created a mistrial or a reason for Brooks to appeal the conviction
The system is corrupt and can not admit they're wrongs. I can't stand this dirty system.
@@voeglo9088 it’s definitely just a power/ego move. The prosecutor can’t stand that there was a deadlocked jury vs a guy that’s not a lawyer
What a whiny prosecutor. Personal attacks huh? I think he's just pissed that he basically lost to a non-lawyer.
You know his colleagues are never gonna let this go lol. That prosecutor just became the "Kevin from The Office" of his OWN office 😂
I sincerely hope the state will end up realizing that retrying this case would be a massive waste of time and money..
I've got to admit, that's a big win for the pro se defendant.
I agree
Ugh. Unfortunately this is true. Barf.
If the defendant had a lawyer, the judge would never hear the prosecution's argument without allowing the defense a chance to respond. The judge cut him off every time he spoke.
Excuse me?The lower defendant spoke over and argued with everyone.He didn't get away with murder
The prosecutors got their egos hurt and their not going to take this laying down. Now it’s not even about him being guilty or innocent they could careless about a dead tweeker,he made these 2 look like absolute clowns. You got to give Ty credit,he saved his wife about million dollars in a attorney fees.
YES! Seriously bruised ego there for sure 😂
It seems like Mr. Mansfield has a personal vendetta against Mr. Tucker and that is why he did not even contemplate not wasting any more tax money to retry this. He jumped right back into this bogus case.
This poor excuse for a prosecutor has acted like a child who's cookie was taken the entire trial.
Mr. Mansfield....get a life!!!
For now .. will be back in court soon..
I've dealt with prosecution down in key West before I was charged with 79 chargers they all got dismissed because of crooked law enforcement in prosecutors they don't like to lose they'll offer you a deal so they don't get sued they're very very corrupt in the Florida keys corruption is a pass time
Yes I agree with the "personal vendetta"! It's pretty obvious.
@@Indiartworksyeah he has. They need to get rid of his immature A**! He is just salty this a civilian out lawyered a lawyer 😂😂 that must hurt his ego.
Sounds to me that the judge is in shock and appears to be rambling for a few minutes.
Please tell me you’re joking. They’re going to retrial this train wreck.
Can not
This is what happens when you have the machine behind you and your not writing the checks!!
I cannot believe it either! It wouldn’t be happening if Ty had a lawyer try the case! It boils down to the ego of the prosecutor and the judge , I believe. But yes, what a waste of the taxpayers money! There was reasonable doubt this trial and there will be the next trial!
Yeah they keep doing it to to Alex Murdock they need to just let it go
@@isiahbrown3301 they can't? howcome?
The judge doesnt like tucker shining a light on the corruption in this case--
Hope tuck gets a good lawyer because they want him even more now,they are pissed off bad❤
So? Just because they are butt hurt doesn’t mean they will magically find more evidence
@@06mrselfdestruct don't be a smarty
Tucker needs to go hire a lawyer who can defend him against the District Attorney's who have been taken advantage of him during the trial. Someone that knows the law.Because this case is beatable all day.
Not so. If the jury can be well instructed on felony murder, which is sometimes difficult for juries to understand, they can nail this guy
The prosecutor is a crybaby!! Doesn’t threats come with the job. He’s not the only prosecutor to receive them. He sounds like he’s just whining!
This speaks volumes to defense attorneys that settle with the state
If over 6 thought he was not guilty there really shouldn't have a new trial.
Exactly
Remember the ice cream seller trial last year? His first trial was 10 to 2 to acquit and therefore a mistral. His 2nd trial - he got convicted
@@lindaaitken7679 ya the justice system is a joke. The judges states attorneys and lawyers all go to the same parties. In saw this for myself in 2005. All of them were drinking and laughing having a good ol time.
Congrats Tucker but please get a lawyer.
Why did Prosecutor bring up threats after trial!
Anything for drama. Doubt it happened.😂
The judge is bias.
Big time
I personally have friends that have had their lives destroyed by the court system scaring them into taking plea deals for crimes they honestly did not commit so I agree whole heartedly with Tucker in his choice to have a jury trial. I would have liked to see him have an lawyer and think that if he did this time he might have won since the state couldn't even manage to get a conviction against him this time. That has to be embarrassing because it is like taking a gun to a boxing match and still tapping out. Lol. They got their MASSIVE ego's bruised this time so it doesn't surprise me at all that they instantly want to reschedule the case. I might be naive but I believe ALL the evidence should be allowed into the case so the jury can make an informed decision, Imagine a world where the cops can grab a junkie off the street and pressure them into telling a story to arrest someone else being all they need for a conviction. In that world anyone could be sent away for life at any moment if some cop decides to focus on them and that is not a world I would want to live in. I could go on and list countless other examples of cops and the courts destroying lives to stroke their own ego's but i still believe the system is a good one if the rules are followed as intended. As the founding fathers said " It is better that a 100 guilty people remain free rather than a single innocent person be convicted" they were smart people and that intention seems to be lost as of late and I hope this case helps others realize they don't have to bow to their oppressors.
Terrific argument but i do believe he is guilty
@@CIGLLC Even if he is, which he could be, the State didn't bring the evidence. imo
you do live in that world. so disgusting the prosecutor didn't give a shtt about the Judge keeping his word to the jury that if they couldnt come up with verdict hed declare mistrial then trippled down on well maybe they can come back tomorrow 😳 and his ego was soooo obvious its a purely a ego case. its not just the cops prosecutors are suppose to seek truth and if the cops rushed to judgement theyre suppose to not bring charges 2 things i think the head prosecutor will tell him to drop case and cant remember / oh not everyone can manage this and no money means a defender that most likely 9.9 x outta ten doesn't care if you get convicted. most are pushing as many cases so they can become prosecutors
@@TruthOnly24🤣 are you kidding by your logic it could've been you
@@CIGLLCwhy? & would you convict even though the state couldn't prove it?
Seems you have a prosecution that has egos that wont allow them to take a loss. And he's right. If you are innocent don't take any deal. I can tell this guy is innocent. It shows. Any reasonable person can see it too.
Gotta give it to this guy. He’s right the state does rely on plea deals a lot. I refused to take a plea deal on 4 serious felonies and a misdemeanor charge. I was not guilty so I refused to take multiple pleas. Took it till minutes before the trial and then they offered a plea to a misdemeanor and I did take that. I was facing a 25yr and other felonies that could have been run consecutively. My lawyer thought I was crazy but I told him I really didn’t do it. The state knew they could not prove something that didn’t happen. Don’t take plea deals and never try to talk your way out of an accusation the police are making against you. Keep your mouth shut.
He speaks , body language is quite impressive, quite the contrary to what we've heard up to the trial and during trial by prosecutors. Too much reasonable doubt. He stood his ground well during testifying
Its a rareity for a mistrial from hung jury and its even rarer that someone is pro se and isn't incompetent at best. I'm so so so happy for this outcome, the only next best thing would have been a not guilty. I'm literally married into the justice system and let me tell you..... this is a game; this is a win. Their job is to CONVICT; it does affect their jobs and their rep. This man was hounded and his whole life is ruined regardless of court room outcomes.
If he had a lawyer, it would have been acquited. Weak case.
I agree!
Based on what, he arguably won the case putting himself in the stand.
@@-The-Darkside He made some serious errors. I think the main one was calling Paula and his cross-examinations weren't that good. It's clear he didn't have an overall strategy and was just playing it by ear. If he had rested his case before putting on a defense I think it would have been not guilty. He really sabotaged himself with his defense.
I agree!
I don't know if he did it or not but he's an arrogant con man. He conned a rich woman into marry him so he has money to get an attorney, but he feels he's the smartest person in the room and doesn't need one. I felt the judge was a little too wishy-washy.
The jury got bored with the whole thing. The judge was awful
Defendant already served 6 years behind bars. Dismiss ! Prosecutors should dismiss
they already offered him time served if he will admit - 6 years time served for murder? that tells you right there they new they couldn't prove jack-schitt
I believe he's out on bond.
Behind bars , house arrest. Your not "free"
OK TY. @@ziggylycans
Actually he served 2 years in jail, 4 years on bond with ankle monitor. House arrest, cannot leave the walls of his home without permission first. Also drug and alcohol tearing.
Good! No evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. State should drop it now, but no, I’m sure they’ll “try it again”. Shame. They had their chance.
Their evidence is a single witness who wants a plea deal. Doesn't look good.
This guy literally defended himself and won. Everyone calling him a narcassist can kiss it; his LIFE was on the line XD
Facts Sturgis Johnson envious of him because he actually won his case and he's going to win it again so let the man go f*** if you didn't do it you didn't do it quit trying to pinch it on people that didn't do nothing
I actually agree and I'm a hard one!
A mistrial is not a win. Glad you are happy but they will try him again and we shall see if they come up with a verdict then.
💯
@@Ilene.s as a pro se defendant, getting a mistral is indeed a win.
Tbf...he did a good job defending himself..
Esp in comparison to brooks and recent pro se cases!
🤣@@TDcomedyparody
Only because there was no real evidence against him. He would’ve probably been acquitted if he hired a competent attorney. Every time Tucker spoke his mask slipped and you could see the narcissistic POS he is.
Let this man BE FREE! He has EARNED IT!
He's earned it just because he's defended himself into a hung jury? He's a murderer. He wasn't found NOT guilty.
Terrible weak case really scary that could be anyone accused with what the state brought to the table. WASTE OF TAX paying money !!! And victim been lost in it all. What’s the point of this!! Not justice not one bit. Drop this it’s enough Florida !!
Wow! I didn’t realize they too offered him time served… for a *_murder._* That makes it even more clear to me that the DA and courts are blood thirsty on pinning him. Paired with their no mention of the victim in this case. They couldn’t care less except for maintaining their ego (for whatever reason) and failed investigation in this case. This case *reeks* of police informants left in the dark, per usual.
Tucker got the eyes he wanted. A lot of us are paying attention now; so PLEASE get an attorney for March. I’m sure he’s caught the attention of defense attorneys by now.
@@TruthOnly24lol give it up man, you keep saying the same thing over and over 🤦🙄😂. Are YOU the ghost?!
Victims' families are often forgotten in the quest to understand the motivations of criminals.
@gmimi2 Lol right? This guy is giving off strong "the real killer" vibes 😂
@elizabethchase6528 Wait im confused, did you think I was talkin about Tucker, or the dude under all the comments claiming that Tuckers guilty?
@@mikeygraves16LoL, he is
This has to be one of the worst Prosecutors I've ever seen. Incompetent and unprepared doesn't even begin to describe the Prosecutor.
Get an attorney.
I don’t think he is guilty. They absolutely have no evidence against him but what a person said. You know how many people are in jail because someone said something that is not true against them.
Are you a trumper?
You don’t have to be a trumper to have common sense
@@MearnieToonare you a no brain Biden supporter?
The next verdict is going to come in not guilty so they're actually going to waste their time
@@MearnieToon are you? I smell a trumper! u think about him all day every day dont you? admit it
Jeez, the defendant speaks better than the prosecuting attorneys!
GREAT interviewer! Good job court TV
Hope he gets a lawyer
It’s hard to decide who’s the most annoying, the lawyer, defendant or the judge?
Seriously tho LOL
🤣😂🤙
😂😂
What are the challenges in legally defining and prosecuting acts of terrorism?
how is the defendant annoying? you must have grown up on TikTok zoomer
Mansfield has a personal vendetta against Ty you can tell by how he talks and how he presents. It’s disgusting! Hoping and praying Tyrone gets acquitted next time around. Mansfield should be disgusted by himself honestly
Prosecutor is mad hating cause he loss to tucker not even a lawyer 😂
Tucker you got your point across once I know you will do it again. You have a lot of support out here we will be there in March. The State was embarrassed big time!
Congratulations Ty!
Like its a game of chess. Rest in peace Matt 🙏
Victims never get no compassion
I like the idea to retrying this case again . I think his guilty
They made the deal with Travis, 5 years to be prosecution witness against Tucker instead of life! That the ONLY evidence if you call it that when admittedly lied. That judge is do obvious in his dislike as is the prosecutor. How rhis got to trial 1x is amazing yet the judge so obviously sad /mad about it brings him to trial again? Talk about waste of money. Fire that judge and prosecutor and DA shake your head!
Everyone laughed at this guy and roasted him in the comments during the trial... Now slowly the comments change and people are respecting the fact he had the balls to defend himself! You sheep - the world is so lost.
Exactly
True
I think they will offer him another( PLEA) ? The prosecution is just upset because they lost today but I’m sure they will rethink trying this case again anytime soon… Thanks Court TV the best program around and Congrats Mr Tucker
Since I have been watching trials on TV (1998), this is a first. My My My! I am not giving the defendant one hundred percent credit for arguing for a mistrial.
The prosecutor was definitely insinuating.
Anybody can figure that out. Yet the judge says he didn't "construe it as such" bias much. That's how I construe it
The prosecution had their egos bruised lol
These guys are pissed, they will retry
Already scheduled for March 7th, so you are right! How ridiculous.
@@LDiamondzno that's the potential date, there's a chance before that date the State may decide not to retry.
Play jealous and miserable because they lost
IN MY VIEW
Franklin Tucker's guilt was not proven either way. The evidence just was not there to convince me. I agree with the jury.
The Prosecutor's 'angry' chip-on-his-shoulder behavior toward the defendant made the defendant look like a choir boy.
Absolutely, passionate emotional vendettas have no place in our justice system!
Are you a trumper?
@@MearnieToondo you suffer TDS?
@@MearnieToon that's rude, I'm sure the poster is a perfectly sane person.
@@MearnieTooni am! What do you have to say?!
Omg, what a nightmare to retry.
He was homeless had 1 toof and no woman...look at him now. 😎
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I guess he is a one tooth wonder .
Miracles do happen
🙌
This prosecutor has a personal
Problem with the defendant. He’s annoying!!
This poor excuse for a prosecutor has acted like a child whose cookie was stolen since the beginning of the trial. "Waaahhhh....Mr. Tucker is acting like I'm not better than him...waaahhhh!" Get over yourself! Grow the hell up, you have no case, so stop wasting the tax payers money and jurors time!!!
I guess he defended himself well in the end !
Yea but he got across to one or more jurors. That’s all it takes for another chance at life outside of prison. His truth won!
If he had a lawyer he’d have likely been found innocent
Agreed! Hope he gets a lawyer for the retrial.
@@LDiamondzme too
You never know , he might have been found guilty .
You have to be trolling lol
@@roberthopkins3621 The only evidence they had was one guy who took a sweet plea deal saying it was him. No other evidence could place him at the scene or anywhere new the crime. A half decent lawyer would have gotten the not guilty verdict.
Huge win for ALL of us PRO SE citizens!
Giant L for all disrespectful attorneys who laugh at us ;)
I hope he gets an attorney for the retrial and it seems like there is going to be a retrial in March. This is ridiculous and a waste of money and time
The Prosecution hasn’t thought this out they are retrying this case out of emotions. Hopefully someone will tell them stop wasting tax payers dollars.
Well a person is still innocent until proven guilty, and it still applies here. Mr Tucker was not convicted. It’s sad that the tax payers are the ones that have to pick up the court tab just because Mr Mansfield’s ego is bruised.
Perhaps a stupid question but, if the state has the burden to without a doubt show that he was guilty fails to get a conviction, why is that grounds for a re-trial and not the same as not guilty or atleast dismissal?
They should have to prove it to them all.
Good interview!
This Proscuter has something against Tucker imo!!
This case shouldn't be tried again.
I called a mistrial or not Guilty.
Proscuters love wasting Tax payer money. Its pathetic.
He got a hung jury because he was able to make jury relate with him. If he had a lawyer he wouldn’t be able to engage with the jury.
Good point but I'm positive he had legal counsel advising him.
That's a great point, & for some yes, but it's hard to not come across as a "narcissist" when you are fighting for your life. He rubbed some folks the wrong way.
I agree completely. I think he did better to not have a high paid attorney.
If you relate to this con man then you have serious issues
True
I hope Mr Tucker could polish up on his closing and get some help for the objections instead of just not objecting to any of what the prosecution says. He will win, and I hope and pray that the truth will finally be revealed.
Judge must feel he is guilty being they want another trial soon
Am I missing some evidence? Everyone commenting on how sure they are of his guilt. There was no way this jury could find him guilty without reasonable doubt. The prosecutor went on and on about "how would Travis know that information?" Hmm bc maybe Travis was the second person? Now, don't get me wrong, I am not 100% convinced Tucker is innocent, but that argument was ridiculous. To me, the one prosecutor seems to have it out for Tucker. The way the prosecutor spoke to Tucker during his cross would have been a red flag if I were a juror. Did he really turn down a deal of time served? That is another thing that makes me question his guilt, if someone is guilty, wouldn't they jump at that deal? It also shows the prosecution doesn't feel like they have a strong case if they offered that! I think he needs to have lawyers next time, i think if he does he will be found not guilty.
There’s no evidence. How do they have the mask “he wore” and not even a single hair, drop of sweat or spit, the “knife he used” without a single finger print, the backpack of all the clothes and evidence and there isn’t a skin flake from him. It’s a joke of Justice
This SHOULD have been dismissed!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TY!!!
Dude saved a bunch of money not hiring a lawyer and walks free haha
He has a 2 mil cash bond on hold
And he could still get a guilty verdict. This isn’t necessarily a win.
Mistrial only after 6 hours? There have been judges that would send the jurors back for many more days.
Kind sir I was not there to see what happened, but you did an honorable job representing yourself in court, especially for a non-criminal defense attorney.
The prosecutor, when he realizes he’s losing his argument on the gag order he makes false claims he’s being threatened. What a pansy.
You can’t put the horse back in the barn. Drop the gag order.
10:1 the state decides NOT to retry this. Those 2 attorneys are posturing, and as soon as they get back to the office-the AG is going to rip them head to toe and order them to stop wasting time and money and move on to something else.
@@nitpoon7982 right? Those prosecutors were clumsy and these days if you don’t have good video or phone GPS or blood/DNA-absent an eyewitness who is not a knife collecting drug addict-you’ve got a weak case!
The level of state corruption here is astounding.
Wow! In every million - 1 odds, there's always THAT 1!
It’s not over yet Tuck
Tuck is like f***😂😂😂😂
Awe they got their feelings hurt
Wow. Darrell could never
Six hours just does not seem to be enough time to talk this out 🤷♀️
Welp they did it lol
I'd imagine the only reason why the judge and prosecutor let this go hung jury so quickly is because most of the jury was willing to acquit.
It will be interesting to hear what the final count was. I bet it wasn't good for the prosecutor. You know this wasn't a 11 jurors want to send him to prison while 1 juror holds out type of thing. Because they'll let that type of thing go on for days.
I think this judge has something agains this defendant. The judge seemed stunned at the juries decision like he wanted to somehow get them to say oh no wait he's guilty ! Lol nope not today !
Weak. Case.
I knew it 😂😂😂 He should be allowed to sit for the bar exam.
May this case go down in history. I’m just tuning in and by the looks of it. He single handedly represented himself and won against experienced lawyers etc!!!
it opens them up for a civil suit for malicious prosecution if they don't win .. I think he needs to be found not guilty though, a mistrial might not rise to the level to meet the civil elements for vindictive prosecution not exactly sure but that might be a motive for the prosecutor to keep on pursuing this
If he was involved (and I think he was in some way) there was never enough evidence to convict.
His behavior however when on the witness stand was very telling, at least to me.
He acted more like a guy beating the wrap not proving his innocence.
Nerves kick in, not easy.
If he could go this far, pro se...I'm thinking an attorney could win this. Esp. knowing the little tricks the prosecution tried in their closing! And, for all the time the court was trying to accuse him of "wasting" ... I'm sure a defense lawyer will be able to show all that they need to! All in all, he did an excellent job... even without the IA investigation. &, Gag order? Cat's out of the bag, bell is rung! That's a hurdle the prosecution has to face. imho
Interesting that the judge didn’t even ask the prosecutor if they wanted to retry the case, before saying let’s put this back on the docket for retrial.
Agreed. I’m a bit confused by that!
The fact that the judge wants to retry the case after they already offered a time served deal and a hung jury tells you there's corruption going on. They are just P.O. that he fired his attorney and made them look bad without council.
Lol he wants to go home and see his dog because he missed him never mentioned his wife hahaha 😂
I don't see why the defendant shouldn't be free to tell his story. Why ask for a gag order now? It's too late for that.
Yes!!!!
