CORRECTIONS:
Nearing the end of the video, I mention that the victim impact statements occurred on Day 8 of the trial. This is incorrect, the victim impact statements take place after the verdict was read. This was likely an error that was written into the script on accident and then some how went over my head during the edit. I will absolutely correct this in a future release!

Thank you, Stave.
is there a team behind your videos?
Atleast you do your due diligence and get it right, thanks for your work
No problem. Keep up the good work. 👍🏼
I knew this before you said it. There's NO COURT IN THE COUNTRY that would let victim impact statements BEFORE the verdict. LOL I wish they would (If I were the defendant anyways) Because that would be an INSTANT mistrial! But then Texas will execute ANYONE so I thought maybe this was a Texas thing. Ha. Just kidding. Kinda..... ;-)
That cop yelling that his truck is part of a murder investigation is completely idiotic, maybe save that until after you have him in custody so he's not running for his life and possibly gonna try to kill you
That is a really good point. Don't tell them why you want to talk to them from so far away. It sure is idiotic.
Four Weeks at the Police Academy is not enough training.
ran to the comments strait when i heard this, he should have in fact NOT “done the talking” 😭
A regular citizen never gets all that explanation. They just manhandle you and if you are black, you always somehow match the description and if you ask why, it means to them that you're not cooperating and impeding their investigation. F*c# the police!
All the cops that can shut their mouth and won't tell you why they stop you are busy doing racial profiling and body slaming random pedestrians.
The attorney putting that poor woman down for being on methadone maintenance and bettering her life is absolute TRASH. What an evil man 🤮
The general public usually have the same opinion (and unfortunately, many ex addicts look down on those on MAT) so it makes sense for a defense attorney to run with this. Disgusting.
Right like saying the rehab wasn’t successful bc she’s on medically supervise methadone is fucking rude. If she’s not using illegally and is trying to stay clean using what tools have been given to her, then yes, the rehab was successful.
Yeah that was low, Idk if you heard of the band disturbed but the lead singer was going to be a lawyer originally. He went to law school and passed the bar and like the next day looked in the mirror and basically said " I wouldn't be able to do this knowing I'm defending men guilty of horrific crimes." So he never practiced law, I imagine he saw himself in the shoes of someone saying something like what this guy said to her.
I’m guessing you’re on methadone to be making this comment?
Yeah as someone on suboxone that was horrific to watch, had to turn off the vid for a bit
I know a ton of people cherish Stay Awake videos because they are shorter… but I really love long videos. I work 10 hour shifts alone in the field and having hour long videos to really get lost in while a work make my day bearable
me too I work in the fields and Im always listening to these long videos with my headphones to get through my 10 hour shifts... I sometimes listen to these while I sleep too...
yes! i listen to any compilations i can get my hands on to help with my long shifts!
Y'all are really concentrating and getting a lot of work done
@@garthf.brooks6531 I paint underground utilities. Hook up to the line, walk for a mile, turn around and paint. I’m not sure how much concentrating I really have to put towards that
I saw a 24hr compilation 😮
14:11 the defense is cramming down the throats of the jury that this woman is on methadone. I'm sorry to this woman for the judgement she received even though she wasn't the one on trial 😞
@jessamyers8761. Yes Jess it’s disgusting isn’t it?
She's high as fuck in court. STFU
When he called methadone synthetic heroin I lost my mind. I was on heroin for years and I also tried methadone before I got completely sober. Methadone does not get you high WHATSOEVER. That man was a damn fool and the it's sad that the witness didn't know how to correct him.,
@@effaroundfindout You’re so right, methadone does not give you the euphoria Heroin does. I overheard someone on a bus, we were going past a methadone clinic and this woman says to the person sitting next to her, see that place there? Addicts go there to “get their fix, the government pays for it”, talk about ignorant. Methadone is a life saver for some people, you don’t get “high” from taking it, it just helps with the cravings. I hope you’re doing well, you’re very brave & thank you for sharing your story. Cheers.
Yeah, even with heroin if you were to do the same amount of heroin at the same times every single day, then after like a few months at the most you would no longer really be getting high, you would just feel normal, and you’d feel terrible if you missed a dose (hence why people keep doing it even after it doesn’t really get them high). That’s even more so the case with methadone which has been studied and chosen specifically because of how long it lasts and how the level of it in the body doesn’t tend to spike up or down quickly, so people taking the same dosage on the same schedule every day tend to just feel normal and not like they’re getting high or going through withdrawal after they’ve been taking it for a little bit. The defense lawyer pissed me off there because he was spouting bullshit, being argumentative and sarcastic (I think he said like “sure thing” to her in a clearly snide way at one point), and essentially acting as if he was an expert witness testifying when he’s not an expert nor a witness and had no right to testify. And furthermore, the statement he made is literally untrue… Synthetic heroin would be artificially synthesized *heroin* (which I mean heroin itself could be argued to be that considering you have to chemically alter morphine to get it, though it’s usually called semisynthetic since the morphine generally comes from the poppy plant, so I guess synthetic heroin would be heroin created from only laboratory chemical precursors), and if methadone *was* synthetic heroin, then why is the generic name of the drug “methadone”, and not “diacetylmorphine” or “diamorphine” or “heroin”? The answer is because it’s not synthetic heroin… clearly he’s no expert.
That cop yelling"David Ortiz! Is the most intimidating cop yell I have ever heard. Holy balls I would love having him on a team. "He won't listen to us..." "Alright... send in The Voice"
Agreed
Lmao I thought the same thing. Also David Ortiz is a famous baseball player so that's funny too
Yeah, that was some serious bellowing.
Yeah right after he ran for it! That dude's voice was actually pretty intimidating! When I first heard him yell I was like holy s#17!!!
Had me feeling guilt back to my baby bed! 👶
This is the best JCS-inspired channel. No fluff, no overanalysis of body language, no excess information, no 3-hour long interrogations that could easily be cut down to 10 minutes. Just good narration and a well-selected amount of footage. Props to you guys
@@CubsWin2012 hmmm.. idk.. maybe somewhere in the 10 hour interrogation? maybe the moment when he learned he would be spending the rest of his life in prison? i’m sure, somewhere in there, he regretted being a pompous prick.
Omg I hate those that over explain every single detail. There is one channel that even explains everything that will happen.
@@ilikecringe Explore With Us is one of those channels that I can't really do. It's like 3 hours long, I'm not a fan of the voice after listening to it for so long (the voice actor's a cool dude and just reads the scripts they give him, no hating on him) and A&E style dramatization, and over explaining every little thing. Even the smallest things about interrogations that we already know about they'll explain. If the suspect has even the mildest mental illness oh boy. They have some great videos but I just can't do it these days. They just need to tone it down a bit imho.
@@rocketlauncher5855 Yeah explore with us I think is the one I'm talking about. I can't watch those.
Another good crime and psychology channel is dreading crime and psychology, they also make good content like JCS :)
I was in the Army, as an infantryman, saw combat, got blown up 4 times (the 4th time was bad). My medic was right next to me (3 ft away) and was literally blown in half. I nearly lost my arm and was medevac'd to Balad, Landstuhl, then BAMC. Anyway, I was messed up for a long time. At one point or another, I was prescribed all of those pills via Houston VA. However, I never went and killed 4 people. I feel like every time I see a fellow veteran, he/she has the same story:PTSD, nightmares, anxiety. It just irritates me bc I've been put through the ringer and saw lots in my 5 years in the Army. I wish I could talk to some of these people who I see in these videos to learn their details. I'm not saying this dude is lying, but I see lots that do. And the average viewer is none the wiser.
People react to stress differently. Plenty of Veterans who become violent after having PTSD.
First of all, thank you -sincerely - for your service. I do admire that you haven't turned violent like this man allegedly did (I say allegedly because so far I've only gotten to the end of his confession). People are different, and they react differently to trauma. I'm learning this literally now, as within this past week I have started treatment for PTSD as well. Why one traumatized person turns his life around and the next one becomes a killer, is way beyond my ability, or that of the average person on the street, to understand.
Thank you for your service 🙏
Thanks for adding subtitles to the interrogation! It makes understanding what is said so much easier. Subscribed!
Yes. Subtitles do have the habit of doing that. Seems to be there nature. Bless there dear little souls.
I don’t watch anymore if a channel doesn’t have subtitles
Too bad there are so many mistakes in them. Most notably confusing "wife" and "lawyer" somehow.
@@Nathan-dt2tu I often confuse the two in reality 😂
PTSD is not an excuse for killing people.
It has become an excuse for anything you want to get away with.
I can see neither of you bright individuals have ever seen or been around someone with severe PTSD.
What’s funny is y’all say that, but someone having a “feeling” is an excuse to cut off a girls breasts and a little boys penis. Sick ass mfs.
& I’m not saying that PTSD is an excuse for murder, but PTSD can lead to severe psychosis, manic depression, and a multitude of other chronic and severe mental health issues. & as much as y’all weirdos love to talk about mental health you’d think you’d understand the severity of PTSD.
As neither is any other mental illness, but they do kill people and there will always be killers no matter how well educated we all are
HOLY SHIT that pile of drugs is tho
Dead right Brenda!!
I'm fkn sick of using this shit excuse! 😡
My brother had a shit life and was very depressed at times, but rather than taje anyone else's life, he took his own 😢
Many folk have ptsd due to whatever circumstances but don't prey upon folk and murder them!
Even if the killer has PTSD and snapped. He still murdered. He still took a life. Not just one. Those poor women. I'm so glad he was found guilty
Of course, but it's his best option for leniency. Its obviously no excuse and doesn't change the fact that he's guilty of a crime, but because of the way society views people who serve honorably in the military, his best shot was to lessen the consequences.
@@DetectiveTrupo203no way once you got more than one victim
People act like a job in the military is the main source of PTSD and that should be considered. BS. First responders, emergency room staff, people who have been abused, firefighters… on and on. Millions of people suffer from post traumatic stress and never harm anyone. You’re right - he is guilty and evil.
At that point it's a mental issue. Little does he know that mental institutions are worse places to be than prison.
@@aisha48476 lol yeah and let's add how because of society's standards in who gets to succeed and who doesn't because of surface looks and materialism is more important than a human life, killers are made... That's why I hope we just nuke ourselves. Humans deserve no mercy from any God.
He clearly loves his daughter yet he took other people’s daughters. Never stopped to think how he would feel if someone did that to his children
maybe not real love?? He's trying to get her to promise she will be a dr when she grows up. sounds like a narcissist that wants to control her future even from a young age. There's money in being a dr.
Whether he loved his daughter or not, he killed those women easily because he didn’t see them as people. So it’s a moot point.
don't be so sure that he loves his daughter. This is a narcissist, and he'll only "love" her until she challenges or criticizes him, when older. I guarantee, this is a narcissist, everything about him is arrogant, through and through.
majority of killers don't. The one that took that poor girl in Alaska but has many many murders wanted to plead guilty in return that his daughter didn't find out! 🤬
It makes me sick. He didn't think those moms/daughters had any value.
great video, this is one of the few "JCS Inspired" channels that actually feels like JCS, not just an hour of raw interrogation footage with an occasional voice over. Thank you.
"Red Tree Stories" is absolutely horrible in that regards.
@@user-sz2px8pv3f definitely
i know it’s his job but man i really hated how the defense was going after the witness, she’d been through enough and to be spoken to like that? gross.
A good translation of the situation imo would be:
“Oh yeah so you were on meth so nothing you say is valuable in this trial. Even rn you’re so pathetic that you’re on methadone +*proceeds to show he doesn’t rly know methadone” etc
“HOWEVER my client is innocent because he has ptsd 😢 yes he is now an alcoholic, yes he is prone to violence, yes he has hurt people around him, he’s he has hallucinations and flashbacks, yes he has severe mental health issues but HE IS BETTER THAN YOU bcs it comes from the army and so you should believe he is innocent, especially against a dirty addict like you”
He is so demeaning in the way he talks to her I’m honestly surprised they allowed him to go on so long to try and make her appear as unimportant and unreliable she is. You don’t have to try to break a witness down like that, especially when your client is a murderer
Simple:
You did meth?
Yes.
Do you do meth?
No.
You agree meth alters your mind?
Yes.
So can we trust your recollection?
Yes.
Why?
Because I believe my mind was and is still reliable and yes you have to take my word since I’m a witness and that’s what witnesses do.
Ok, jury please remember meth does this: list of symptoms
@@ezekielmercier-kohr7380 calm down 🤓🤓🤓
"I was only following orders", right? Didn't work as a defense at Nuremberg. There are such things as ethics, you know. It isn't ethical to falsely imply that the witness is high, therefore an unreliable witness, especially stressing a connection to heroin that suggests that there is little difference. If that's the best he can do, perhaps he should drop out of the bar.
Completely agreed. I appreciate that, regardless of how they feel about their client, defense attorneys have to do their best; it's in the best interest for the victims/surviving family, too, as a mistrial is stressful af. That doesn't mean that they get to treat witnesses like shit. It felt less like he was questioning her ability to recollect and more like he was trying to attack her character, because obviously all addicts and sex workers are horrible people 🙄 It was obvious he looked down on her on a personal level that had nothing to do with the case.
@@user-wh7rw1lz3m no shit...case in point, that fkn comment was on meth.
That poor woman who testified is so strong. You can see how terrified she is just to point at him. She is clearly scared of him, and there’s no doubt she was worried that if he was found not guilty that he would come after her again.
Also, she is gorgeous!!!! No one should be made to feel bad for trying to beat drug addiction.
She was heavily medicated for sure. Fair play to her
@@aonghusofaolain8686 dude you don’t know anything. That was pure FEAR
@@bingingbinging8597 she was clearly afraid but she was also clearly over-medicated on something like xanax or valium.
But do what you gotta do to calm the nerves...
Imagine if she hadn't come forward, like so many working women... She's a hero! ❤️🙏💞
She is a brave young lady. That is for sure. The defense lawyer was just asking questions relevant to her state of mind and state of being. He was not being accusatory or overtly judgmental. She was absolutely scared; however, she was absolutely under the influence of some sort of medication. I hope this woman can get clean and have the beautiful life she fully deserves! She is a brave and beautiful young woman.
They can question a suspect over and over and over UNTIL they ask for an Attorney. While you have the right to remain silent, until you ask for an Atty, they can go on and on asking away.
The brothers testimony was as heartbreaking as it was beautiful. I have so much respect for him
Mistake number one: You don’t tell the person you’re arresting what they’re being arrested for until you have them in cuffs.
Ya...that was kinda stupid. I was saying to myself..."wait for it, he'll either take out a weapon or run." Predictable.
Turn around i want to arrest you for murder. Thanks for the info.. *runs
Especially in a case where he has little chance of freedom.
Bullshit. Most woke folks would cry, scream, film, cry amendment violation. And that’s before cops saying a word.
Better still for an innocent or guilty person say nothing without an attorney present even innocent people have become toast. I would give them my name only a police captain friend for many years told me that, lol
The cop "arrest" in the beginning is the most rookie thing I've ever seen. He's stammering, duvulding to much information, n giving the suspect the confirmation that he is dealing with a novice.
Divulging that his car matched the murderers car, could have him asking for a lawyer immediately. Terrible.
It was bizaare. Virtually saying the car matched a murderers car while he is already on the run. Lucky he didnt escape.
That’s right! And shouting it out from 50 yards away!
That's Laredo it's a blessing and a curse 😂
This officer sounds like a rookie. I hope he gets instructions on how to do better arrests.
He is the guy that says BOMB on a plane
“And I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be offensive..”
“Are you high right now? You’re not totally clear headed..?”
Tbh, that's the only two sentences that he said that had any relevance..
Wow, the statement of forgiveness from the brother really struck me. What an awesome example.
I have PTSD. People with PTSD don't engage in pre-meditated murder *because* of their PTSD. At worst, during a triggering event, there can be an outburst of anger (but usually not with violence). This guy hunted these women.
Using PTSD as a defense is unconscionable. It diminishes the suffering of people who actually have it.
Word
Totally agree..
Totally agree I know someone with it
I have PTSD as well that was a result of a carjacking / kidnapping where am I at Tacker had a handgun shoved in my ribs for about a half-hour while he made me drive to several ATMs and then to my bank where he got $900 off me. I definitely have triggering situations but none of them have led to any kind of violets. More like extreme anxiety and wanting to run, to get away from whatever perceived threat that I've have it. This guy is exactly where he needs to be and there's no way he can play and PTSD for murdering people. It just doesn't happen like that.
"Turn around!"
"Turn around!
"TURN AROUND BRIIIGHT EYYYES!"
This is so sad, you guys made an amazingly well put together video that is greatly informative and gives an unimaginable sense of “being there” not only in the court room but also in the police statements and witness reports. This is one of those videos that is so well put together I don’t want to give a “like” due to the gruesomeness, but the person that compiled and organized all of the evidence did such a great job of putting the viewer in the moment……
Great video! Despite me being sad now you have a new subscriber. Condolences for the family members, especially the gentleman with his heartbreaking forgiveness statement.
I actually cried when dude said he forgave the killer. Crazy story, and a great channel
Forgiveness is disgusting and should never be given
Only way to move past it
@@thehangingparsiple5692yeah if you can’t get your get back you gotta forgive
That defense attorney is such an asshole, he's shaming a near murder victim for her old drug addiction. Shame on him. Even for a lawyer, that's low.
yeah, I agree
Also completely disingenuous definition of Methadone. That shit saves lives and obliterates addictions. What a crook.
I agree and I've seen some crime videos and they always say when defense does this, it doesn't help their clients.
I also don't like that he's playing up the PTSD angle. I have PTSD from a violent home Invasion and rape. He still knows right from wrong. Having flashbacks because you smell something that put you right back in that terrible moment, doesn't excuse murder.
You are incorrect it's his job to provide his client the best defense possible and her drug addiction at the time of the incident is relevant to her credibility. I believe her but that's not low for a lawyer, the opposite would be true. Not bringing up her past would be low for a lawyer. Shame on you for shaming a lawyer for doing his job well. Honestly shameful, you probably are the sort of idiot who assumes guilt when someone pleads the fifth too. People have rights in this country and shame on you for crapping on those rights.
The prosecutor should have objected when the defense attorney as the leading question. Would you agree that that was a lot of drugs? That's leading plus a lot compared to what?
What the hell was that cop going to do, give a full dissertation explaining why he is stopping him in the middle of a gas station? I thought he was about to ask him for his mother's maiden name and last 4 digits of his SS #. Get the dude in handcuffs before you start blowing the entire investigation by informing him of all the info they have on him, and giving him a reason to run like hell. And where did they come up with that defense attorney? "They gave him um, a bunch of psychotic pills, there in there somewhere". If this guy was defending me, I think I would have given up the minute he opened his mouth
love the video! it’s so great that you put subtitles of the interregations. it helps a lot!
1st time watching any of your content. You did an excellent production job on this case. Thank you.
Why would you inform this guy that he is a murder suspect while he's still a public threat?...
That's for the suspects benefit. Not everyone the cops arrest is guilty. That's actually what our justice system is based on. Innocent until proven guilty.
I do agree that it's more beneficial to the police officer to lie or withhold information.
Yup totally agree.
Soon as I heard the troopers shouting this I WAS JUST COUNTING DOWN TO TAKEOFF.
That was....special.
That's what they do in procedural cop shows, and the guy always takes off. Also, confronting him from 50 feet away was a bad idea.
Thats what i said. These cops arent actually "trained" man. Theyre trained to be good cops just like McDonalds cooks are trained to be good chefs.
I almost cried listening to the impact statement from the brother who had also been convicted of murder. That was very powerful.
So powerful
Nice order, pacing, editing, and descriptions, really pulled together the case well, thank you. 👍
i completely understand both of the victims’ families’ reactions. i think it’s beautiful that some of them can forgive juan and find peace that way, but i also understand never being able to do that. i just hope that they all find some way for this tragedy to have a place in their lives one day, and that the victims are resting in peace.
It's all over when you hear "I think you're a good person" 💀
There's two kinds of people out there. One is a cold blooded killer and the other is someone who made a mistake. I think you made a mistake here am I right?
😂
Yeah lol
Cop: "everybody makes mistakes, that's why pencils have erasers!"
Accused: "I'm fucked!"
Basically calling them a POS lol
I wonder what else he got away with as a Border Patrol Agent.
Its wasn't for keeping the invaders out.
😬 Good point!
I'm betting a lot of it starts with r and ends with ape, I hope he suffers until his end.
The defense lawyer said in the closing argument (@46:57) that:
"He came over here (After Iraq), he became a border patrol agent was impeccable record immediately raised and Rose up to in the intelligence unit come February 21 migraines nightmares post-traumatic insomnia and then all hell breaks loose from February of 2018 to September of 2018."
I wonder how much time actually spanned before he was raised from an Agent to the Intelligence Unit, exactly what that position entailed, and why counsel was impressing that it all happened 'immediately'.
@@hi.moriarty good probe here, friend. The ‘immediate’ language I feel is to keep anyone from digging further back.
Your the best JCS inspired channel the best cutting the best cc and the best narration. No fluff just pure content Thankyou!
The victim's brother speaking to Ortiz is one of the few things in UA-cam history to ever bring an actual tear to my eye. Incredible humanity
Love how you can see the prosecutor silently celebrate to himself at 48:25 before desperately trying to regain his composure hahaha
I laughed at that. He was so thrilled XD
😂 I missed that! Awesome! Thanks for the timestamp!
14:00 - Sure sounds like the attorney is trying to testify as an expert witness regarding what methadone is and isn't.
Right?
Came here to say this. I got clean in July 2021. Im still on methadone. I would have told him its none of his fucking business what medication i am on and why
@@theREALchriszito Word. contrats on your recovery!
Maybe he’s used it
Yeah, equating it to "liquid Heroin" is obviously hyperbole.
People taking Methadone maintenance can still function perfectly fine. That is the whole point of it.
I love your work. Great effort. Thanks for my daily fix. You really are the best.
4:29 Dude, that cop has the _scariest_ voice I've ever heard. I'd sentence myself to life in prison if I heard him yelling even if I was innocent lmao
Listening to his daughter talk about what she wants to do when she grows up… I hope that she lives a wonderful life and gets all of the things he took away from those women he murdered. So many families destroyed.
it was a very sad reality, wasn't it? Putting it all into focus, through that little innocent voice just how his actions have affected so, so, so many lives.
Was he trying to tell her not to be a chef? He’s the last person who should pass judgement on how people live their lives.
Hearing her little voice had me tearing up. She has to live with her dad doing this
His personality, his opinion, hardly surprising. His wife talking religion to a jailbird husband, maybe a coping mechanism. Poor women struggling to comprehend him
I was waiting for her to say "daddy I don't want to be a murderer".
Its disgusting when people fall back on PTSD and things like that as a pure old excuse.
But look at the drugs the state sponsored system pumps into him
I agree.
we can see what the jury clearly did and this is what evil people do graspat anything that they think will help him ,but in the end he knew exactly what he was doing and where he is going he better know how to fight men , he is a coward attacking already vulnerable women ,yeah trust me he will be wishing he never even met these women where he is going!!!

Especially when they forsure don't have any PTSD. Dude never even saw combat at all.
My deepest condolences to the families and friends of these young ladies and I'm going to say it again you have one of the best channels on UA-cam thank you for all your hard work
You made another great video. Perfect injection. Perfect editing.
I love that true crime can also be a geography lesson, as a Brit, I'm learning so much about different states in the US. Thank you STAYAWAKE.
Same. If it's Colorado, Utah or Florida; big oof.
@@PanicattheDiscourse Yeah, there's definitely something in the water in those states.
Right?! I'm in the States but have learned a lot about other countries via true crime!
This video just popped up, so I'm a new sub. I love True Crime too.
I perked up when they said he's a border patrol agent.
I saw a video of a border patrol agent that owned a gun store and he didn't like his neighbor's dog because it would frequently get loose.
The agent took the dog and shot him dead and left him in the woods.
He didn't know that the dog owners had a GPS collar on their dog so they were able to track him and at the same time the police tracked this man's phone to the exact same location.
Police served a search warrant on his home blah blah blah
It's interesting that border patrol agents can be criminals too. Certainly serial killer of women is much worse but still.
All the bad stuff. Lol. One state is the size of a single country, the state of Georgia for example is the size of Germany.
The defense laid nothing but BS on the jurors.
They didn't even want to call a bullet for what it is. A BULLET.
There was a lot of that in though. Like not calling “sex workers” what they are…(Norm Macdonald lean in) WHORES.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I prefer the term projectile. As far as I know a Bullet is that white oke who drove a green Ford Mustang in a movie from before I was born.
Good fuggin video...narration on point n kept me interested. Very nice job
I'm very happy I found this channel. Perfectly executed. 👍
As someone who is on MMT, (methadone maintenance therapy), and has been for 10 years, I can tell you the defense attorney is downright wrong. All mmt does is prevent withdrawal and relapse. I was on the max common dose of methadone for about 8 years, which would kill many people who didn't have a tolerance, and still kept a job and went to school. I was even on the dean's list. People on mmt are not high when we take our doses as prescribed. We can drive, work, and function like normal people. It's all to do with tolerance. I sincerely wish people would look into harm reduction like mmt before judging people as "failing rehab." This guy has no idea what he's talking about.
Mmt saved my life. Before it I was in the hospital undergoing surgery, not knowing whether I'd have my arm amputated while I was under, and after it I'm a successful part of society.
I was on methadone years ago, got off, and relapsed off and on for another 17 years. I finally got on suboxone and every time I would stop taking my suboxone, a couple months later I was at the heroin street dealers. Now I'm on suboxone and don't think I'll be letting it go any time soon. I've been in the hospital 4 times in 2 years for overdoses. The suboxone is saving my life right now. I like the feeling, and I like the fact that if I try to relapse I'll immediately hit withdrawals because of the Narcan in the suboxone. Opioid addiction is horrible. Glad you made it on the other side.
@@Vaseholly Hey, I'm really proud of you for going back after so long back out. That's huge. Keep taking care of yourself! And thanks for the kind words.
I'm one of those crazies that quit cold turkey just over 6 years ago.. for me going on methadone or Suboxone would've been just trading one addiction for another.. but it's not my place (or anyone else's!) to judge or speak on what works for other people. Whatever way you go, I say congrats! The goal is staying off street drugs. Much love ❤️
The life saving benefits of MAT/harm reduction through methadone or Suboxone cannot be overstated. These medications save lives and quality of life as well. Congratulations you guys. Whatever route you choose to get clean, stay off the streets is admirable beyond belief!!
Sucks for me now I’m stuck on Subs and can’t get off that either
The man questioning the lady is a jerk!!! I was functioning on methadone for a long time and no one had a clue. I functioned sharply and well. Thank God I am free from opiates and all of it, I have been free of it for 4 years now and I am grateful for each day. I cared for my mother and she had to take xanax and morphine every few hours towards the end of her life and was not tempted by it one speck. Please do not judge people who are addicts this lady on the stand is dignified and a fine person.
Just doing hos job.
The problem with junkies and alcoholics is they all think they are in control when everyone else knows they clearly are not. Here is the official medial advice on Methadone "The ability to drive or use machinery may be severely affected during and after treatment with methadone. You must not drive or use machinery until you are told that you can do so by your doctor." Clearly judgement is impaired.
@@anyexpat ok? lol
@@valfletcher9285 A junkie LOLs online, why would i ever give a fk about your opinion
@@anyexpatTrue. However the woman on the stand was answering questions quickly and clearly, with it being obvious she understood the words, context, where she was and why she was there, etc. She was definitely under the effects of the methadone but it also didn't effect her functionality or judgement. Seemed to just effect her motor skills.
Thus case hit me in the feels hard man, starting with the conversation with his daughter and the victim statements. You almost got me bro...
this is a great channel. Ive been binging.
Considering the monster he is and the damage he not only did to the victims and their families but his own as well, I cannot believe he was actually putting pressure on his daughter to be a friggin doctor! What a worthless piece of crap.
Why wouldn't he?
What a bizarre take away.
at least he was trying to teach his daughter to be a good person? with a good career?
The fact that in 2023 conversations as important as a serial killers' interrogation are recorded in such an horrible audio quality is really incredible
Lol I bet its a case of "we don't get the cool new stuff till its broke" although I'd have thought Border towns would have cool stuff cause of where they are. Not that I know cause am in Scotland lol
All of these interviews and interrogations are recorded with a tin can with a wire coming out of it.
Well, police don't really make much.
@@medhathobo I don’t think it’s police paying out of pocket for recording devices 🤦♀️
Agree. It's ridiculous. I'm hard of hearing and I can't keep my eyes on the screen at all times, so I'll have to put this one to the side until I can. Turning up the volume just makes it louder, not clearer.

Perfect judgment! Great video!
Ty Steven I learned even more terrifying info from this guest. We all need to hear it like it is.
Yeah, I'm with Melissa Ramirez' sister-in-law. I hope he suffers.
My dads a cia agent watch ur comments
"Naturally they reacted by providing him a burger, fries, and a drink"
You're amazing
Small price to pay for a confession. It's amazing to me how even people that are involved in law enforcement themselves often fail to lawyer up. I wonder, is it arrogance, or just fear that it makes them look guilty? Or I guess he may have given up hope for getting away with it.
oh yeah and not shooting him fleeing a felony stop, blue privilege
This is my first video. I really liked it. Subscribed!
My cousin died a couple of years ago from overdosing on black tar heroin. He could never kick it. I commend her for fighting the addiction with whatever medical options are possible. She's likely saving her own life. I hate that it had to be brought up at trial, but the defense had to try it or it would have been brought up on appeal.
This defense lawyer is a prime example of why people don't respect the profession.
It's always said that "But they have to do that because they have to ensure their client receives a fair verdict" but completely disregard the fact that smearing the image of the victim of a crime in no way shape or form ensures a fair verdict. In fact, I'd argue that it does the opposite. He's trying to get a murderer off by smearing the image of one of his victims. He's working for the exact opposite of a fair verdict.
He was not a good attorney. “Psychotic drugs” - uh dude I think you meant “psychoactive medication” or “psychiatric medication”. “Psychotic drugs” doesn’t mean anything.
Actually it's more like ensuring that the defendant has no room to claim ineffective defense after he's convicted. It sucks for victim, but maybe a price worth paying to keep him away for good.
If you are ever falsley accused of something and a junky is on the stand i am sure you would change your view
@@anyexpat
Its the WAY he went about it. Yes, As the defense trying to counter a witness, its perfectly reasonable to acknowledge that she was on hardcore drugs at the time and may be unreliable.
Thats good lawyering. He needed to make that point.
HOWEVER, he took it too far. By going on about how rehab must have failed in 2019, implying that her prescription methadone is basically still heroine, and demeaning her now.. that's going to turn a jury OFF.
Now your valid point has been swept away in them feeling bad for the victim, and if theyre feeling animosity for you then that reflects on your client.
It was a good concept, terrible execution.
You mean punching holes in the prosecution’s defense?
Imagine being the defense attorney when the juror faints. That’s not a good look. 33:33
Awesome, as always.
Are jurors allowed to turn down looking at disturbing photos? I can't imagine being forced to do jury duty only to have to listen to horrible details and look at shocking photos scarring those images into their minds.
The defense's closing arguments were very interesting. I know everybody has a right to a fair trial BUT their client was a serial killer. They were basically saying to the jury, "I know my client murdered those people, but his rights were violated, so you have to find him Not Guilty." Regardless of what the jury might have said during the pools process, that's just a hard pill for anybody to swallow.
Yeah, at best they ought disregard certain evidence... but that would probably leave enough of correct obtained evidence to convict.
Also, I'm guessing that the mental issues can explain one random killing, not three over a timespan of 2 weeks. That suggests a more calculating and predatory nature, not three separate instances of the defendant losing his mind.
Right. If the evidence was obtained wrongfully, then it's strange the judge would allow it. The fact it was allowed seems like it kinda refutes the argument in it's self. (Haven't finished watching it, so I may be misunderstanding something)
Edit: yeah, I'm glad they let that in evidence. Wonder if they tried to appeal yet.
@@angelface925 Again this is Texas. It's not like Chicago. In Chicago the victims are put on trial. You get treated WAY WORSE in Chicago if you are the victim.
Even if a defendant is guilty, having their constitutional rights violated certainly warrants mistrial and dismissal.
Nonetheless, it seems that no rights were violated here. He had the right to remain silent. It doesn't matter how much an investigator presses you or talks to you; you can still *not* speak.
@@Ridesharekaraoke1967lol 😂
His defense attorney is a real POS. He's deliberately mischaracterizing methadone, because he so desperate to weaken the prosecution he's willing to lie by implication. Even if she was a bit high (she wasn't, of course), she's very obviously in full command of her faculties, and knows exactly what's going on. She's doing her best to not let him push her into a corner and seems to be succeeding. I despise attorneys who have no ethics, so they'll dance on the edge of acceptable practice, not caring what harm he's doing to innocent people and justice, too.
He was on more mind altering drugs than the victim. Prescription meds kill more people than all illicit drugs put together, waaaay more infact.
OK is she not addicted to methadone ?
It was merely misdirection.
Unfortunately, discrediting a witness is allowed still.
Prosecution would have do be well to have an addictions expert on the stand to explain the purposes of taking methadone and the effects for quality of life.
Regardless of that, she was still a witness and should have been regarded with an equal amount of respect as any other person in that courtroom.
@@gowdsake7103
Where does that influence the fact that she was a witness or experienced this?
You cannot "Lie by implication" where did you go to school?
42:01 simply one of the best, most meaningful victim impacts I’ve heard in a while. You can tell prison may have actually saved him. I wish his family and himself the very best.
Damn bro. My boy's parents were murdered THEN his sister was too. This man deserves all the friends
The arrest video is bizarre, they went in fully escalating things. I wonder if they were trying to give him an out via suicide by cop….
I've seen a couple of situations similar to this very recently where the cops come in 100 percent ramped up and already out of control then expect control of the situation
That's a BS statement... Suicide by cop!!! Giving them any reason to just shoot someone is just what's wrong with LEO today. They have guaranteed immunity, yet they can sue a person if they were hurt during an arrest. They don't HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO ACT as decided by the Supreme court after the Parkland school shooting when they didn't go in to the school. They can shoot a hostage to prevent harm to themselves or to prevent the felon from escaping. And see if you or I can get away with doing some of the things they've done lately... How about suicide by citizen??? Yeppir, sounds like BS!!!! They should be held to the same & EVEN HIGHER STANDARDS then a citizen. With the same penalties for things they've done and they should be held responsible for any fees or payments for lawsuits from their actions... Just like any other citizen. There's nothing special about them and they go into the job understanding the possibility of danger with open eyes. If it's such a tough job, why haven't more of them quit with all the new BS about defunding & other intrigue lately??? They don't cuz they do have good jobs and they know it!!! Back the blue until it happens to you...
“If you were in rehab earlier, why do you need methadone today?” What a stupid question. I am on methadone now too. Getting sober isn’t the hard part; it’s staying sober that’s difficult. Methadone basically stops all cravings for opiates or heroin. Same as suboxone and vivitrol. Medicaid pays for methadone treatment. I don’t know if Medicaid pays for suboxone or the vivitrol shot every month.
Good for you!!! It's gotta be a very hard journey to experience and what you are saying makes perfect sense to me. I wish you well. (((Be proud...you've a right to be.)))
Yep, as a nurse I knew that lawyer didn’t have a clue what he was talking about. Proud of you!
The lawyer has no idea what methadone does or how it works with patients who take it.
It won't be prescribed unless you have an active opiate addiction.
Cushed them like he did when he killed them.
Great channel, guys! I just subscribed.
Seeing the juror’s reaction. I’ve never understood why some families want to see photos like that of their dead loved one, what was done to them as a victim of a violent crime. I don’t know how they’d ever get the images out of their minds. When my sister died I’d asked for a closed casket, even though she’d died naturally. I didn’t want that image being the last time I saw her. She’d also told me thst she didn’t want people looking at her. When I walked into the chapel, there she was with the lid of the coffin up, so I saw her lying in the casket. Now, when I think of her, the first image that comes into my mind is that. I have to push it away to remember her alive, but the image still intrudes.
They know the pics are coming and can leave the courtroom.
Court footage like this with interrogation footage of lesser known or unknown cases is the exact thing you need to get ahead as a creator in this genre. Your videos are way better than the others!
That was the most rookie takedown ever. Yelling across the parking lot of a gas station giving the suspect the ability to flee lmao.
THIS WAS EXCELLENT
The food isn’t about “humane treatment” in this case. It’s to give positive reinforcement and help get info from him or keep him positive towards admittance, and thus making him plea to avoid an expensive trial. This is important to know. If it were purely for “humane treatment,” then it wouldn’t be fast food. It would be jail food. For someone that seems to know a decent amount, this is something you should learn more about. It’s led to catching some of the most horrific murderers, as well as helped get details in those murders
Damn bro, I’ve got war related PTSD as well, and I’m not out there, raping and murdering beautiful Hispanic women. What a sad excuse for a human being!

That conversation with his daughter about her future career plans was just weird! The child was the adult there.

that is the most disrespectful attorney ive ever seen. i hope that woman is out being happy and enjoying her life somewhere right now
I love the silent excitement the prosecution team at 48:25 gave while trying to be as quiet as possible lmao
It is a shame how society looks at and treats people based on certain lifestyles. They are still human beings, and deserve better. Usually their lives are bad enough without being looked down upon, and treated as animals.

@@ezragonzalez8936 yea sure, i think he would’ve done a better job tho if he didn’t try to use a recovering patients methadone (a drug that has been prescribed to treat opioid dependence) prescription to attempt to invalidate her testimony.

@@dnkmarci Methadone absolutely has psychoactive side effects, especially for someone using it for 10 years.
@@dnkmarci addicts wouldn't line up everyday at a clinic before 5 am to get a drug with no psychoactive effects, they may gain a tolerance and not feel it as much as time goes on but they sure as shit feel it and nod and slur their speech.

Those family statements were hard to listen to. Tears started falling as the older brother poured his heart out. It was aldo hard to watch the two family members have panic attacks while the autopsy photos were being shown. I'm glad that man is behind bars for life. His defense team really did try with what little they had.
He thought he was untouchable because he was the law but justice prevailed and the jury saw right through his phoney excuse of having Ptsd. The look on his face was priceless, everything he knew was over in that very moment. R.I.P to those 4 beautiful women,may they rest well in Gods hands......,.
To think that this mentality is embedded in law enforcement is terrifying. This is almost the least remorseful thing I’ve ever seen.
And then you realize that a majority of present day law enforcement officers are former members of the military... yeah, it's sometimes a bonus with the additional structured & weapons & combat training, but then you're also allowing potential PTSD sufferers who aren't dealing with it well onto the force and the already troubled law enforcement system is even worse for it. And yes, there's major trouble in law enforcement nowadays. Back the blue until it happens to you!!! It's not a small problem, it's widespread!!!
Equally terrifying is the fact many, many law enforcement officials from beat cops to Feds have the devastating combo of being terrified of dangerous situations (even with all the latest weaponry/armor/vehicles we fund via our tax dollars, literal spy type equipment they can use to track most if not all of our movements and discussions, etc) and having itchy trigger fingers or an outright thirst for blood. A wise man once told me theres not many things more scary and dangerous than a coward with a gun, so when LEOs are either unable or unwilling to think with a cool head and operate well under pressure we all pay the price.
Not only do many people live in fear of their actions, many people also fear the exact opposite… their complete and utter inaction in peoples time of need. Just ask the children and their parents in Uvalde, TX! Located in the state that hails itself the gun totin' capital, a freedom-filled land with Heroes who claim to value "Law & Order" above all. Yet one scumbag with a rifle scared them so much they felt the best action was wait until he was done massacring f**king children. Funny how that works eh?
@@Torqd_Offid rather risk that then the places that allowing felons who completed their terms to be cops
This is what’s know as self flagellation, create distrust in law enforcement. When a country is being subverted you want the people to turn against their own government, you hijack a narrative to fit that. So if you’re the actor of subversion, you would want to pull that thread in comment sections. You would create “bots” to find stories like this and throw out comments against the police, cia, doesn’t really matter as long as the story works to that end.

Methadone is a hell of a drug…. To people who don’t have a tolerance to heroin or opiates. I am on methadone now too and it has literally saved my life. I just bought a new car, started an investment portfolio, and now saving up for a house. I could NEVER do any of that if I was still using heroin.
