Why are we watching this AGAIN??? Isn't there enough new trials? I sure can't watch this nightmare again.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Same someone intelligent let us know!?
Me either!!!
I think it's just court TV, Vinnie Politan is having an episode of Accomplice to Murder on Sunday night about MI vs Shanda Vander Ark. The episode is about Paul's involvement
Reason number 10,000 why Law & Crime is better.
She got life without parole, plus 100 years! WHY are you playing this again?
and he possibly only has 30 years
Not everyone knows about this tragedy
Guess what - you don’t have to watch it again .
The better question is why are you watching it?
@@JanesBlonde-007 I'm not! I just stopped to see if it was something new about her! I see you're living up tp your name. 🤣🤣🤣
Don't call that demon a mother.
dont call that narcissist a demon
@@ToyotaGuy1971 call her a maggot.
Ya’ll who seen this before don’t have to watch it again! They’re not forcing u to! Geez! I’ve never seen this case before so I actually appreciate this! Keep scrolling if it’s so bothersome that they posted the same case 2xs. World doesn’t revolve around u!!
Exactly. Thank you
Really... So sick of people that click on something, then just do nothing but complain in the comments. Keep scrolling!
First time hearing about this. I will look it up. Just reading the details caused me to remember my abuse. I was 10-12 years old and my stepmother did everything she could to harm me. Like forcing me to hold my urine and not using the bathroom. I was severely malnourished and weighed nothing. She is gone now. But I can’t believe people still do this and think they will get away with it!
Brilliant lawyer & opening statement ‼
Agreed 👍
I think they're showing this again because Accomplice To Murder is showing an episode sunday night of MI vs Shanda Vander Ark. The episode is focusing on Pauls involvement
This is relevant considering that there are new horrible cases similar to child torture. Should be DP case as only option. New case stapled child to the wall in a pen, until he passed. How have we gotten to this point of child torture by parents. Like animals sanitizing litter.
Didn't this already happen?
Yes
@@jeneraljax29 yup
And? keep scrolling! Why did you click on it?
@@michelerenem what about that question triggered you and got you so angry? 🤔😄🤦♂️
Defendant: outward appearance of Dorothy and the black soul of the Wicked Witch. A wolf in sheep's clothing. Evil
I think the correct wording is pure evil and the lawyer has the terrible task of trying to defend the undefendable
Y’all are so controlling - who cares if it’s an old story . Some people haven’t seen it or would like to watch again . Get over yourself already .🙄
My thoughts exactly. I never saw this part until now.
This is old
Some people haven’t heard of it
Oh poor Timothy looks so small in those videos. He was 15 but he was an autistic small child. I can’t believe those monsters would do that to him.
Slow news day? This is old...
Right???
I WISH that the Jury could Say" Pathetically Guilty!" Unfortunately they can't. There are cases that I have watched and those cases deserve the same verdict, " Pathetically Guilty!", " Disgustingly Guilty!".
Watched whole heartbreaking trial 😢😢😢
The state nailed those opening statements. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I'm not going to say what I wanna say about that thing of a mother.
I watched the trial. She really is pure evil. God bless the prosecution, the judge, jury and all who were involved in this horrific case. R.I.P. sweet boy. You’re with the angels now. 💙🙏🏼
So much old news here lately, rehashing and rehashing. One way to lose subs, that's for sure.
Just unsubscribed!
So go ahead and unsubscribe, is someone forcing you to stay here?
Why are y'all complaining? Shut up or go somewhere else. You really stop and take the time just to complain? For the love of...
move ON
There is another horrific child abuse case just coming out of Michigan “Chulo Jennings”. Absolutely heartbreaking 😢
How can she be “A highly intelligent individual” on the one hand, then in the next breath “She didn’t see what she was doing, she doesn’t get it. She doesn’t get what she was doing to him is wrong.” 😑
There could not of been a better Prosecutor and Judge to handle this case.
I cant believe she and paul are appealing their sentences its disgusting
Old stuff yo😂
I feel sorry for the defense lawyer as nothing he can come up with is going to make anyone have any pity for these two. That mother and son see this kind of thing on the news every day, just like the rest of us. To try to pretend not to know what abuse is just as evil as the deed.
Deplorable
Thank you, Jesus, for her Judgment
They had no idea, my left foot!! They knew exactly what they were doing was causing harm. That was their goal.
Are you that desperate you are playing this AGAIN?
It’s new to someone reading the comments
Come on , we just went thru this whole trial not long ago !
Jeanie use your brain. Not everyone has seen this including me. If you have seen it. Don’t watch it!
This was months ago
I refuse to even listen to the defence opening statement. He’s full of sh*t right up to his ears. How do these defence lawyers even live with themselves?
I live in Michigan and never heard of this.
Now we have another 6 year old here in Michigan. Mother and boyfriend arrested Fri. Aug 9th. Boy had a ruptured bowel internal injuries had his clothes stapled into the corner so he couldn't move his face out of the corner. The wall had been hit with and embedded with bee bees and one found in his leg. They to had camera's to watch him! Unfortunately the Lil guy didn't make it! What is wrong with these women that put these men ahead of their children?
Why @COURTTV ?!??
15 and weight 69 pd, 😮 malnutrition, 😢what for, camera, didnt she want him, was she filming a movie😢
Yawn, old news 🥱
@@botanicalbunny old news is . New news to someone else
As old as the hills. Get new material.
I'm confused? I thought this trial was done and dusted, found guilty and sentenced several months ago. I thought Court TV dealt with current cases?/
Sir, or maam, did it occur to you that they uploaded it again for people who haven’t seen it as yet? That thought NEVER crossed your mind?
@JacinthaDAnjou NEVER.... because all the original video coverage is still there. Just a waste to rehash it. Did that never occur to YOU.
You replied very rudely by the way. I could hear your tone of voice in every single word
@@janhill2079 so you don’t have common sense? If you have seen the video then good for you, just go watch another one. It’s as simple as that! SIMPLE
Why in the world are you showing this again. Don’t you have any new cases to show?
Who is forcing you to watch? Such an important case and not everyone has seen it.
Why is this being put on again?
For people who haven’t seen it! Einstein
Doesn't have to proove motive but may i present:
"solipsism"
the view or theory that the self is all that can be known to exist
I learned this word today. Tim Furguson is hero to all abused and i found this opening very healing.
That evil murderers defense saying she had not intentionally or knowingly caused Timothy's death is ludicrous! What else could the outcome have been other than more and more suffering until ultimately dying anyway? GUILTY AS CHARGED, NEXT!
I think Everyone on here collectively feels the same: Why not say upfront THIS IS REPEAT for anyone who hasn’t seen it because we don’t feel like doing a new show.
She is pure evil. I hope she will receive prison justice.
You lawyers are wrong. They knew exactly what they were doing all along to Timothy. They were aware they were torturing him and enjoyed doing it.
Why on earth are you re-airing this??
Wasn't she already found guilty? Why are we seeing these again??
Repeat😮...why?
Castration, sterilization, and deportation.
Why no death penalty?
Doesn't say much for law schooling
Show something that's actually happening rather than old trails. Nobody should wabt to watch this horrific case again. She's found guilty and jailed for life. Show something new.
Why don’t you create a UA-cam channel and upload new trials. How about that?
She’s not in prison yet?
She is. Last january i think she was sent there. What a evil.woman. So twisted.
She looks like she could Rex 0:10 Heuermann's sister.
She looks like she could Rex Heuermann's sister.
He’s not riveting. Rather bland. Maybe with less evidence he would have tried harder.
That black solicitor needs locking up too, how these lawyers can stand up for evil for a pay check is sick
If u dont feed someone and you see they are thin, you know
Must be slow at Court TV.
TV court at slow be must . 😂
They're revisiting the case because a new episode focusing on it is coming out.
