Doug’s testimony is as believable as it gets. That’s one innocent man. How horrible it must be to be accused of such a horrible crime. What hell he must have gone through. May he, family, and friends find comfort in each other...and get justice! George had been accused 20 years prior of murder...umm come on!! Being accused once is one thing but twice? Seems a no brainer this case.
I feel awful for him he has a young child. I do feel Nicky was impulsive and did not accept a ride with her friends why did she go to yet another bar she would never have met this monster sad she was having too much of a good time,
Another case of overzealous cops combined with lazy police work ruins another life and family...george burch committed this murder, his DNA was on nikki’s bloody clothes, gps and cell phone records place him at the scene of the crime, where the body was dumped, and the car he used had a mysterious car fire... 100% george burch murdered nikki and was accused of murder 20 years prior...
@@TheAcenightcreeper yea.. no doubt in anyone's mind that the piece of shh Burch killed her.. his story made it even more obvious. Truly 1 of the most ridiculous stories I've ever heard
That defense needs to LET IT GO!! I would be getting very short with him by now! :( How would he know that there was a killer that was going to take Nick`s life!!
So far the prosecution and defense have exchanged roles. Defense tries to prove Doug did it, prosecution tries to defend Doug from defense's allegations. How be we get back to old George being on trial here.
Some people can handle alcohol some can't don't sound like him or his girlfriend were very responsible that night and it cost her her life she ran into a 6 foot 7 inch monster I feel sorry for the kid that will never know his mother
Very true, stay with your friends and stay with the group, I know... It's never a good idea, I separated from my friends and I was drunk and vulnerable, scared looking for my friends and two guys offered me a ride, they seem like good guys and I trusted them....Wrong thing To do, I was nieve and trusted people. I remember going into a black blazer well driving which I don't know where I was going because I doozed off a few times well driving and then I was attacked and I don't remember afterwards, I only know or remember the beginning. And I was raped and beaten and hit in the head with a bat over and over and took me to a some mountains and left me in the desert, thinking I was dead but I was unconscious and a bloody heap. I was in a coma for a month and now I have nightmares and have anxiety, I went from being a happy, social person, the life of the party to a person scared with panic attacks when I leave to a club or bar, I get really tense and I suffer from post traumatic disorder and I have therapy now, it's a horrific and unbearable experience that I suffer from to this day. I can now say I'm happier and in a better place but now I still live in fear and I still have flashbacks. My heart aches for Nicole, I can't comprehend why anyone would kill a wonderful women like her, and taking her from her children. But I know her fear. God bless her family and friends.
@@junegiovanni6475 ..thank our God u pulled thru. glad ur happier. might be better to find other places to go. too many drunks there.. best wishes friend~*
Unfortunately she threw a big enough fit that the guy trying to bring her back to the group got scared he would get in trouble. She was screaming don't touch me and hitting him. I think the girls should've been trying to help her instead.
At the risk of being politically incorrect, I had 5 kids (back in the bad old days) and my husband never took a day off of work, the same with my friends. I think it’s wonderful that men are more involved now, but not working because you have a new baby
the same thought just crossed my mind, like wow he took 5 months off to help her with ONE baby....we had 4 kids (in 6 years) and both of us working and I was taking the babies to the office to breatfead them, not a problema at all Doug seems like a very nice guy though....
I am very impressed with that young, gentle-talking Defense Attorney. He's got his P's and Q's together when questioning Doug. I don't think Doug killed her, but he also is a very selfish, self-centered, spoiled 36-year-old man who depends on his parents to pay his bills while he stays home. He told his mother that he wanted to make her and her children leave. The responsibility of a family was just too much for him. She was a one-night stand and got pregnant. She should have known better because all he was interested in was to get some "new stuff" the night he met her. Unfortunately, they didn't use birth control, which is the fault of both of them. The Defense Attorney is making him look like a total Jerk that he is. But.....it doesn't make him a killer.
True, it doesn’t make him a killer. But he is exactly the kind of man I would warn my daughter and granddaughter about. His non-chalant testimony makes my spine freeze. He is all about himself. RIP Nikki.
Literally. Imagine the names a man would be called if he used this kind of "logic" during an agrument with her. "Oh, so you weren't thinking about Nikki then"
How could any man leave his vulnerable, drunk "girlfriend" to be preyed upon by anybody. He wasn't worried enough to look for her thd whole night; instead, he went to a bar to drink with his buddy! If he behaved like a real man, she'd be alive! He was "puzzled" because he didn't give a s***! The End.😡🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Condolences to her family. R.I.P.🙏🏾
This case compared to the Nathaniel Rowland case is night and day. The evidence presentation is completely different. They did a whole lot more and much faster. Everyone in this case is chillin like they are all sitting down for tea.
Doug had no idea where she was especially the sketchy neighborhood. He clearly stated that he had no idea where she was. And he stated he didn't know if she was at the And he never saw her there so why would The prosecution assumed he knew she was in the sketching neighborhood
The prosecution. Brings up a lot of speculation points and I feel so sorry for Doug. It's alright buddy. Your girlfriend is resting in peace he did nothing wrong. You know we all get in Arguments with our significant others Add alcohol to the situation things don't make sense and they're blown out of Proportion so for a minute do not beat yourself up Doug
Because doug detrie was arrested and charged with murder and imprisoned for 18 days due to lazy police work and cops focusing on hunches instead of evidence...the defense is trying to make it appear as though doug was the murderer and not their client, george burch, whose DNA was on nicole’s body and bloody clothes and whose GPS records indicate he drove to their house, and the body dump site and the interstate where other items of hers were dumped...
If you came upon this trial at the right time you might think Doug is on trial for negligent homicide for being a horrible criminally uncaring boyfriend. Poor Nikki. She made a very bad choice because she was too drunk got irrational and wanted to show him imo..she did leave and take off from one other place I recall from a previous witness ..after drinking she decided to take off on foot. Idk..I feel really bad for the witness from what the freAking defense is putting him through and nobody does a thing..gotta let the defendant blame the rest of the world for their horrible actions like just getting too drunk one night - I mean..it’s almost Doug’s fault she was brutally raped and murdered because he didn’t care enough to find and keep her safe.
Well according to these disgusting defense lawyers, we girls want it when strangers brutally attack us so it's consensual and we need our boyfriends to chase us around to keep us safe at all times because we are helpless. I hate these lawyers!
I'm shocked to read about Doug Detries charges for felony domestic violence towards Nicole's sister after she moved in with him to help care for Dylan 😳
A boyfriend who did not care where she was and how she would get home, and the woman who does not trust her closest but would hang out with strangers. Typically American
I can't tell if the defense attorney is a virgin who's never gone out partying before... or if he's just hoping the jurors are virgins who've never experienced a rompus night out with friends on the town.
The Prosecution is reaching.. His questions and sarcastic comments are hilarious. You can't persuade an innocent person to become guilty. He is a horrible Prosecutor.
Doug seems like a sweet guy but is a bit of a man/child. He should be taking more responsibility and admitting that he acted like a drunk jackass. He still doesn’t seem to get why Nikki was upset with him.
Doug is innocent, he mite of hit her once and did alot things a good husband shouldn't do, but I honestly think he he had nothing to do with her death at all. I do find it disturbing he didn't panic and look for her and didnt make sure to go back and look for her and try to go back for her. I don't think he killed her. I do think George Burch killed her, he is a sicko, I just know he did it. I kinda feel very sorry for her husband.
They weren't married. I doubt that Doug would have ever married her because he's a playboy and too irresponsible and immature. He hardly works and his parents pay his bills. She was a one-night stand that got pregnant. That old trick doesn't work anymore - men don't marry pregnant girlfriends these days. Sounds like she pouted because she didn't get her way at the party (she is the one who wanted to go) and Doug didn't pay enough attention to her. So she thought that she would show him and she started walking. Unfortunately that stupid decision got her brutally beaten and killed.
@@glyndamcdonald5608 let's be honest, you and i know nothing about what was running through her head that night nor do we know everything about the relationship they had. what we do know is that he was irresponsible and not really manning up, he had considered throwing Nicole and her kids out, and at one point complained to his mom about possibly being tied down for 18 years. his lack of stepping up to the plate would drive any woman crazy - but for some reason i keep seeing other females put the blame on her that she was trying to trap him when they watched a few videos or read a few articles and think they have every angle. some people become sensitive when they drink, some people get happy, and some people can be angry. and it isn't rare that people do dumb things when they drink and make dumb decisions. he chose his friends over her that night and, what likely is the reality, in her inebriated state, her emotions got the best of her. this isn't a rare thing. obviously george burch was involved with Nicole's murder. her murder sickens me. my problem with it is the amount of damage inflicted on her - it's the type of thing you see when things are personal. something still doesn't sit right with me for some reason with all of this.

What happened to "Objection - Relevance"! I don't understand why the Defense is even allowed to question Doug like he's the accused!
And so many questions that seem to have NOTHING to do with the murder. Why is this allowed by the judge ,and why is the prosecutor not objecting!?!?

Never leave your friends when you go out.

Boy Oh Boy listen to this testimony even George Burch is falling asleep
Why is the prosecution NOT objecting to so much questions beyond the scope of direct. Guns were never mentioned in direct
Or object for asked and answered. They ask the same question 42 times.
This is one of the most unprofessional trials I've ever watched.

I haven't heard anyone mention the defendants name.
It's all about the boyfriend.
How come?
I am curious as well that they are not bringing it around to how the defendant is involved!
Because doug detrie was arrested and charged with murder and imprisoned for 18 days due to lazy police work and cops focusing on hunches instead of evidence...the defense is trying to make it appear as though doug was the murderer and not their client, george burch, whose DNA was on nicole’s body and bloody clothes and whose GPS records indicate he drove to their house, and the body dump site and the interstate where other items of hers were dumped...

Or Sardine Can
I wish people would learn how to say yes instead of Yup!!!
I'm shocked to read about Doug Detries charges for felony domestic violence towards Nicole's sister after she moved in with him to help care for Dylan 😳
Poor guy man,the DA not nice
Some people in the comments need mental evaluations lol
I think the defense was just exposing Doug's behavior, he's not the victim here he's bilaterally guilty, he's the but-for.
Beyond Reasonable Doubt? NOT
A boyfriend who did not care where she was and how she would get home, and the woman who does not trust her closest but would hang out with strangers. Typically American
I can't tell if the defense attorney is a virgin who's never gone out partying before... or if he's just hoping the jurors are virgins who've never experienced a rompus night out with friends on the town.
Nicki is dead but Doug is the victim. Hmmm.
Judging by the comments here, Doug will have no trouble duping some naive woman into marrying him 🙃😒
What's Doug looking at as he is being cross examined? He keeps looking down like he's reading something. There's more to him rhan we know, I think
Ridiculous.
He rambles on, just answer the question....
The Prosecution is reaching.. His questions and sarcastic comments are hilarious. You can't persuade an innocent person to become guilty.
He is a horrible Prosecutor.
"Horrible" got the GUILTY verdict.. He brought out his temper and the jury saw right thru his ridiculous lies
The defence wants shade on Doug, not the prosecution, they are prosecuting George Burch.
Do you mean the defense?
He didn't care
Not
Doug seems like a sweet guy but is a bit of a man/child. He should be taking more responsibility and admitting that he acted like a drunk jackass. He still doesn’t seem to get why Nikki was upset with him.
Doug killed his wife lists on to the interrogation when first entered the room
He's a liar.
I think Doug is a nice guy but just clueless with women
1:55:18 a little slip there :)
A real man would of been by his ladies side.
You are a woman. What do you know about “being a man”?
Stand up and be a man, take some responsibility for her murder.
Admitting to a crime you did not commit makes you a man?
He didn't kill her, why would he be responsible for her murder? Murderers are responsible for murders.
What she got drunk and left him at the bar smh what's he responsible for he didn't do it to her
How is it his fault his adult drunk gf doesn't know how to go out and behave in public.? (Rhetorical)Their child was at home. He's not a babysitter!
