when that child says he remembers like someone remembers their first home run, I lost it! Such a strong young man! I am a 51 year old man and he held it together longer than I did!
Absolutely, he undoubtedly made it clear that you may not remember things when you were a child but you sure remember things that were significant to you like hitting a home run. In his case, how was he not going to remember the details of the night his mom was killed? Smart boy!
Wonder what he has ended up doing with his life. For a child to remember and not cover a memory over and to have the intelligence and gumption to compare his memory to hitting a home run is extremely intelligent. Even if he was prepped to give that answer to the defense it still shows an amazing resolve in a time of great stress to remember what to answer.
The strength of her son is remarkable. He broke me when he talked about a first home run! He certainly put it all in perspective. I hope and pray he’s grown up to be a strong young man and lives a full and fulfilled life I’m sorry he’s lost his only brother Mikey. But it sounds as if the father ultimately got the Feath Penalty after all. God have Mercy on his soul!
That analogy about hitting a home run was truly inspired, I'm not sure I could have said anything better, kid truly shut down the defense with that one 💯
Yes!!! It was as though "soooo you think that because I'm a kid you're gonna bully me? Well, here's an analogy for yah ...... analogy given about home run ... BOOYAH!!!!" I loved that moment. In other words, show some effing respect, you adult Defence Lawyer when talking to a child!!!!
Me too! I’m trying to read y’all’s comments and type and my eyes are so blurry from tears…. Bless his heart! I pray he and his brother are living as best as possible & are sticking together…
Karma at work from the moment that worthless maggot food murderer thought it a good idea to kill that mother in front of her children, because some things have no reason or explanation ever!!!
The poor sweet boy, broke my heart hearing him testify but he did right by his mama by telling her story and what happened to her. He's so sweet and innocent talking about how you remember your first homerun. 😢
These people who murder spouses etc. are so selfish they leave their children without parents. They NEVER think what will this do to my children.... sociopaths.
Sarah would have been so proud of how her little baby boy stood up for her! Writing this with tears streaming down my face. Defending your mother was a “home run” little man!
Oh my God, that little boy! And the nerve of the gunman to say that he doesn’t hurt children??? I hope watching that boys testimony absolutely ruined him to the rest of his life.
Sorry to join the league of obvious commentators, but Ricky Tokars shaking and crying in the witness box was crushing... Impossible to think of doing anything to hurt any child, yet putting your own kids in this position is unfathomable. I think Fred's body turned on him the last twenty years of his life, tbh.
These people who kill their spouses never get away with it. Just get a divorce! The money means nothing when you spend it on high price criminal lawyers and then prison. They always think their the special one that will get away with it.
A divorce = failure to a malignant narcissist. They feel like they have to “win.” He’d rather be a “grieving widower” than be divorced. He didn’t care if he hurt his kids emotionally.
Fred Tokars died in prison but before that he was totally protected from the other prisoners and treated like a guest. "He had been held in secret custody and the federal prison system didn’t even list him, nor would discuss if he was still a prisoner when the AJC asked about him over the years." Protected like a powerful rich man until the day he died.
I went to school with both Fred and Sarah. She was in my sorority. Sweetest girl ever. Her youngest son, Michael, died a few years back. He drove from NY to California, got a blood clot in his leg avd and died if a pulmonary embolism. He was around 30. Poor Ricky even lost his little brother. Sarah's sisters raised the boys and they spoke so highly of how much they loved their aunts and they had a good childhood because of them. Fred just died a couple of years ago of MS. He spent years in a wheelchair and had a lot if physical problems because of the MS. I never thought I would be happy about someone that had that happen but I was thrilled he had some real misery in his life.
Her son told to the whole world that he will never be able to forget how his mom died. Hope he is doing okay after this horrible ordeal. Death penalty was in order here. I just did a bit of research and sadly Mike died at the age of 31. He strugled all his life with depresion and PTSD. He tried hard in life. RIP
The defense attorneys were so proud that Tokars was "spared the chair." But his own child was not spared the trauma that destroyed his life. And Tokars was obviously feeling sorry only for himself and his lifestyle through the whole thing.
When that baby said do you know when you make a home run for the first time and you always remember well that’s how it was with my mom… I knew then that father was going to jail
I just wanted to say I love this show with Tamron Hall. I grew up watching her on the Chicago news almost every single day. To be fair to Tamron, she's not that much older than me but I LOVED watching her, such a class act and she represented Chicago VERY well! So happy to see her with her own show!
Fred Tokars died in federal prison a few years ago. He'd been in a wheelchair for over a decade, suffering from a neurological disease. His son Mike died at the age of 31 from a pulmonary embolism. Rest in peace, Mike.
The young son 😢😢😭 not only saw a monster kill her man, was very brave to take his brother out of that car to find (the thought alone of 2 babies walking in the dark, in that creepy place 💔💔💔)....then put him on the stand to re live that day 😳😳💔💔😭😭. 6 yrs old is still a baby for me and if mother could only see how he brave he was 🙏🏾💔💔💔. EVIL JUST evil to put these babies through that
Isn't it remarkable that a person who can so lightly deliver a death sentence on his wife, will have an expensive legal team and even the pathos of his mother to save him from a similar sentence. He hugged his team, why ? For preserving his own miserable life. What a piece of whatever, sickening.
On approximately June 15th, 2021 a child named Summer Wells went missing from her home. The two year anniversary has come and gone, but I have not seen/heard a single update or memorial. Could you please comment on the case of Summer Wells?
What a shame , because if anyone deserved a Death sentence Tokar did ! But , I guess the Jury decided death was too good for Tokar and he should spend the rest of his life reflecting upon the Life of the Beautiful Mother he had slain in front of his Own children ! RIP Sara 🙏
But juries in GA don't bat an eye putting POC on death row. Marietta is my home town. This was heartbreaking... and infuriating when all the facts came out.
I am glad I wasn't a juror in that trial because I would definitely burst out laughing listening to that guy trying to look like General Custer and trying to sound like some dishonest southern preacher...I would have voted against anyone he was representing....LOL..
The guy who executed the mother in front of her children: I won’t hurt children and old people, but murdering a total stranger for dirty money, it’s okay?
I mean, would you rather he'd killed the boys, who weren't targets? He could have done so in order to leave zero witnesses to his crime, but didn't. He's a murderer, but not a _total_ monster🤷🏾♀️
@@EchoJOf course he's a monster- he killed her right in front of two little kids, who are sure to be damaged for life psychologically. Are you f***ing kidding? Try to display some common sense here.
I have 2 grown adults sons , I am divorced , my ex had told me the Sam ( if I divorced him ) very crucial to get away safe , not all women can …..I DID GET AWAY SAFE but very scary
Weeping and begging for a ruthless murderer who thought nothing of the fear and pain of their victim, whether or not they pulled the actual trigger, is pathetic!!!
For killing Sarah in front of her children, I would vote yes for the death penalty. Watching Ricky on the stand, so strong for his mom but so vulnerable with the mental image of his mother’s murder engraved upon his memory, that would have just had me wanting to remove the one responsible. But maybe grandma swung the votes. I think her plea was emotionally strong.
Exactly, like it seem their always giving death for other crimes but a case like this being so heartless, should automatically get DEATH. Those boys witnessing their mother's m**der, KILLED THE LIFE as they knew it, so they should loose theirs!!
So many mothers plead for their murdering sons' or daughters' lives. It's only natural. But a mother's emotions shouldn't sway the jury. Usually family members can't bear to think they have monsters in their families--so they have very heavy denial. Their testimony is irrelevant because they describe their children in saintly ways.
I remember when this happened it was all over the news because it was such a shocking case to shoot a mother in front of her two children. Sarah's complete family came up and they had to know it was an inside job because of the way it occurred. Sarah had told her family and other people about Fred and his criminal activity in fact she had hired a private detective and a divorce attorney. Somehow he got wind of it I don't know how or if she told him and yes there have been many. Documentaries on this case. I think this is the prime example of why women who marry these despicable men need to be careful and exit and get to a safe place as soon as possible with the evidence to put them under the jail. Fred tokars got exactly what he deserved being in prison and I feel for there is family and her beautiful sons. So sad that Mikey died too young but he is with his mother now.
@kathybates1751 apparently died of a pulmonary embolism aged just 31. So terribly sad. Was a very handsome and clever young man. His brother is an EMT.
Exactly!! If the death penalty is taken off the table, it should automatically be life without parole. Luckily, he died in prison and never had the chance to get out.
I can’t imagine how hard it would be for a child to be on the stand. I had to do it once and I was so nervous that in a black hole. Like a tunnel. It’s so sad that those kids had to watch their sweet mother die. She loved them so much. I wish she would of taken the kids and ran. It’s always surprising to me that the hit man confesses so quickly. You know you are going to prison…. Why would you give up your life so easily? It blows my mind
NO ONE pleading for the mother and her two children. Even momma did not mention the senseless murder of her daughter-in-law. Malice murder - he should have gotten the death penalty.
If you wish to live a life of *debauchery*, live it and live it well. It’s selfish, evil, and arrogant to drag your loved-ones in that vacuum with you. Be a man/woman. Do your dirt to your damn self.
Justice was not served..Fred had his wife killed & sat there celebrating that they weren't going to give him the death penalty but he didn't give his wife & 2 boys that decision..crying damn shame..sitting there looking like Waldo..that poor kid having to testify bcuz his dad is a greedy, heartless scumbag..thank God karma got him while he was still in prison..prayers to the families that had to endure the pain & suffering throughout all this
Ladies - take a lesson here. Don't show your hand till you have lined up all your ducks in a row. Then take cover and unleash. She was too trusting and waited too long. He did not. He acted right away. Its always the same story. The bird who senses danger should fly away immediately.
And everyone knows everyone's business--like that's. a good thing. Also, "we don't have to lock our doors," "They lit up the room," "They'd give you the shirt off their backs."
A friend told me that when she lived in that area, she said that everyone knew that Fred Tokars was dirty. She said it was an open secret. They should have just turned Tokars over to Sarah's sisters.
The mother said that she couldn't live without her son. Well, the Abruskos have to live without their daughter and the sons have to live without their mother. This is NOT about the defendants mother is it?
In fact, how can she live "with" her son, knowing that he was involved in all kinds of criminal activities. She's had a full life, as an elderly women, that Sarah was denied. The intense selfishness isn't pretty. I "I can't live without my son." indeed!
it's.....interesting how some cases/crimes get told again and again and again.....this being one of them now covered with this telling. i hope he gets some of that prison justice EVERYDAY!!!
I was in grade school when this one happened. I remembered it immediately when I saw Sarah’s picture. She was on WSB channel two every night at the time. You’re right. Some stories are told to death. I’ve seen this one in a documentary about southern crimes or murder for hire or maybe both.
I was really saddened watching that young boy sobbing. I hope someone in the family will take time to ensure that the two boys heal and make peace with the death of their mother. They are traumatised and broken.
Not the defense attorney talking to the unseemly 27:58 witness saying Eddie Lawrence. You’re a thief, murder, counterfeiter, liar, conman. He sounds like T-bag from prison break. He said he doesn’t kill children or old people. The defense said well leaves me out 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Sorry jury, Tokars should fry for what he did. He's a total wuss, a complete coward and a murderer. He couldn't care less about anything or anyone but himself. I wish I could have been in that courtroom when the sentence was imposed. When he turned around to whimper to his Mommy, I would've loved to have punched his lights out. Boo hoo, freak. My heart goes out only to her family and most especially, her sons.
It was hard to watch because he was crying for like a whimpering toddler over saving his own skin. Is it really worth it to live with yourself after seeing his son testify and being aware of the trauma he caused to one and all. But sociopaths and psychopaths don't have empathy for others and only want to keep on surviving regardless.
I have a dilemma. I wonder if I would ever be able to sit and beg for my child's life, knowing that on the other side of the courtroom, another mother, father, sisters, brothers, and children sit in pain, because my child had brutally taken the life of their daughter, sister, mother. I will be too ashamed of myself. My grandchildren will be my main focus. To hell with a child who just ruined the entire families' lives forever. Why should I beg for his miserable life? Oh dear! My heart goes out to everyone who are still living through the nightmare of having lost this wonderful woman, for selfish reasons.

just horrible.its a life sentence for them😢
It was horrible
And worse that he witnessed his own mothers murder omg
Gut wrenching for sure!
I agree 💯% and to think it was caused by his father. Sad.

Watching that little boy re-tell what happened when his mom was shot and killed was so heart and gut wrenching, I just wanted to hug him 😢 ❤.

If only Sarah hadn’t told her evil husband what she knew about his illegal dealings. I wish she had gone straight to the authorities.
Yes, me too
Many make this mistake sadly
Escape plan FIRST ladies, do not oppose the beast and then present yourself, now including a motive, for death!!!
The poor sweet boy, broke my heart hearing him testify but he did right by his mama by telling her story and what happened to her. He's so sweet and innocent talking about how you remember your first homerun. 😢
He broke my heart what a strong soul though he took his strength and testified for his mom. Poor kid
The little boy testifying about his mothers murder 😭😭😭
Heartbreaking 😢😢😢.
Just horrendous to see a child hurt like that.
Tokars died of COVID May 2020 in Federal prison. He's paying the eternàl judgement now
No matter HOW he died, it was minus the pain and heartache and fear associated with the murder of his wife!
He gets to turn around and cry "Mom" but he made sure his sons can never call out to their mom. Evil monster.
My thoughts exactly when I saw that part
They kill me with "we aren't going 2 have any outburst." The hell with that. The victims family is entitled to a little relief of happiness
I AGREE 100% AND I ALWAYS SAY THIS AND SHOUT AT THE SCREEN WHEN JUDGES SAY THIS, SMH!!!

That's because he flipped on prisoners and help close numerous cases while he was in federal prison.

And everyone knows everyone's business--like that's. a good thing. Also, "we don't have to lock our doors," "They lit up the room," "They'd give you the shirt off their backs."
@@junemarshall-kingsley566 “they had no enemies” is the worst one. Because unless you're an omniscient God, that is an impossible statement to make.
CANCEL THAT😱🙁
A friend told me that when she lived in that area, she said that everyone knew that Fred Tokars was dirty. She said it was an open secret. They should have just turned Tokars over to Sarah's sisters.
Look at him in the end turning around calling mom.
This poor baby omg this is top tier the husband belong under the jail omg
The mother said that she couldn't live without her son. Well, the Abruskos have to live without their daughter and the sons have to live without their mother. This is NOT about the defendants mother is it?
In fact, how can she live "with" her son, knowing that he was involved in all kinds of criminal activities. She's had a full life, as an elderly women, that Sarah was denied. The intense selfishness isn't pretty. I
"I can't live without my son." indeed!
That pisses me off putting that child on stand!!!
it's.....interesting how some cases/crimes get told again and again and again.....this being one of them now covered with this telling. i hope he gets some of that prison justice EVERYDAY!!!
I was in grade school when this one happened. I remembered it immediately when I saw Sarah’s picture. She was on WSB channel two every night at the time. You’re right. Some stories are told to death. I’ve seen this one in a documentary about southern crimes or murder for hire or maybe both.
So sad...so young. The poor boys!!🙏
Didn't the man have everything he needed that money could buy? But money cannot buy contentment. He threw away everything.
I was really saddened watching that young boy sobbing. I hope someone in the family will take time to ensure that the two boys heal and make peace with the death of their mother. They are traumatised and broken.
"...intruding on the lifestyle of a family" - by the head of "The family".
Lesson; be VERY careful who you trust as family?
When that man said I don’t kill kids or hurt old people and that attorney said “ well that leaves me out “ I LOST IT!
Hearing the son testify just broke my heart! 💔💔
The father and murder is a piece of crap!!!
Did anyone else notice the Confederate flag in the courtroom smfh
Highly recommend watching this trial found in CTV's trial archives. It was fascinating.
Not the defense attorney talking to the unseemly 27:58 witness saying Eddie Lawrence. You’re a thief, murder, counterfeiter, liar, conman. He sounds like T-bag from prison break. He said he doesn’t kill children or old people. The defense said well leaves me out 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
That poor baby! Ooh that broke me .💔😭💔😭
The kid's testimony was too gut wrenching😭😭😭😭
Dirty and guilty! Poor chldren, i hope they grew up to be good human beings.
damn the sister gave up her brother for the 25k reward money
East Cobb is fancy!!
Sorry jury, Tokars should fry for what he did. He's a total wuss, a complete coward and a murderer. He couldn't care less about anything or anyone but himself. I wish I could have been in that courtroom when the sentence was imposed. When he turned around to whimper to his Mommy, I would've loved to have punched his lights out. Boo hoo, freak.
My heart goes out only to her family and most especially, her sons.
It was hard to watch because he was crying for like a whimpering toddler over saving his own skin. Is it really worth it to live with yourself after seeing his son testify and being aware of the trauma he caused to one and all. But sociopaths and psychopaths don't have empathy for others and only want to keep on surviving regardless.
Thanks for sharing
I have a dilemma. I wonder if I would ever be able to sit and beg for my child's life, knowing that on the other side of the courtroom, another mother, father, sisters, brothers, and children sit in pain, because my child had brutally taken the life of their daughter, sister, mother. I will be too ashamed of myself. My grandchildren will be my main focus. To hell with a child who just ruined the entire families' lives forever. Why should I beg for his miserable life? Oh dear! My heart goes out to everyone who are still living through the nightmare of having lost this wonderful woman, for selfish reasons.
