I heard someone say that the attorneys for Mr. Smith were scumbags for even representing him. Don't you know that in our legal system everyone has the right to have an attorney, free of charge if necessary, to represent him or her? Well, that's how the ball game is set up. A defense attorney that's doing free work for the courts is forced to present as strong of a case for their "client" as is possible. If they don't, the jury's decision could be reversed. Nobody would want to represent a child murder and rape charge, but that's the way our system works.
I feel sorry for those having to defend such a monster as Smith, but yes it is the law, and the attorneys have to look to be doing the best job they can, but underneath it all i should imagine they to will breath a sigh of relief when this guy get's the death penalty, as it is the only thing that can be given to make sure this vile individual never ever gets back out on those streets again.
If he was so out of it on drugs how did he manage to talk this woman into trusting him and believing he was going to help her? What a load of BS he was controlled and articulate. He was cunning enough to go through all his rigmarole with the ultimate goal of walking off with and abusing and murdering a child.
This self-loathing on this Birdman's face makes me so mad. He has not shown an ounce of remorse for cherish but when his relationships and life is discussed he looks like he felt so sorry for himself. What a piece of trash
The mother appeared slow minded. No awareness of evil.... it appeared she fed her kids well and did not treat them poorly yet she failed to realize danger. Listening to her speak brings to mind the innocent special needs ( slow) That is why she didn't need her kids. 😢 In my opinion 🤔.
I agree. I think she meant well and did her best. The kids didn't seem to fear her and seemed happy and cared for. Maybe she needed more help and support instead of judgement imo
Why do so many commenters not understand that ANY POSSIBLE MITIGATING FACTORS must be professionally discussed in court. It is not excusing him, that’s up to the jury and the judge who MUST BE FULLY INFORMED of all the FACTS even if they don’t like them.
It has to be done, everything has to be brought into the open otherwise he could use that evidence down the road, maybe even to get a retrial or get him off by saying important evidence was kept out of the court proceedings
Kate Because they’re idiots, they just see “bad man, person say bad man has reasons he bad, person must be protecting and defending him so person bad” it’s just idiot logic.
Who is interested in what drugs that monster has used. Many people use drugs but don't become despicable abominations such as that lowlife. Good grief they get more care and attention than good honest citizens who have to work for their keep. It's sickening that the taxpayers have to pay for all this medical research into his past as well as for the expert testimonies.
Why's that he did something so awful to the little girl cherish periwinkle for and end her life and kidnap her from the Mom and lying to the little girl that he's going to bring her back because that's sick and what he did to her 😠
Another repeat offender just let out if jail to continue the pattern. Our justice system is so incredibly flawed to allow to this happen time and time again in case after case. It sure didn’t prevent this from happening to Cherish when he should have been in jail “with the key thrown away” long ago. My heart breaks for this little girl that should never have had the chance to meet this man
Straight to general population should be an option for the jury. This monster wanted the death penalty for an isolation cell then appeals in Dec 2020, which for death penalty cases will take another 10 yrs. All on the tax payer dime.
There was a custody recommendation by the Florida authorities. They recommended that Cherish should live with her father. Their recommendation wasn't granted. You know the rest.
@@ddrose06that may have saved Cherish, but I'm sure it would have been another child. This 'thing' is a narcissistic psychopath and a danger to children.
The pharmacologist has been summoned as an EXPERT witness to ANSWER questions by the prosecution and defence. The defence probably wanted him as a way of gaining leniency through mental deficit/drug addiction and not receiving the appropriate support. He answered those questions in a way that the lay person (the jury) would fully understand how the use of these medications and recreational drugs would affect a person psychologically. This way the jury can be fully INFORMED when making their decision without any reasonable doubt as to MITIGATING factors.
She did not know that they left the Walmart it was her understanding that they went to the McDonald's inside the store or maybe it was Subway and after they walked off that's what the mother assumed
I suppose all the horrible trials she has to preside over would make her very depressed if she allowed them to. It's probably her way of protecting her own mental health. I've seen a lot of cheerful judges in murder trials
Some of these lawyers are doing a poor job and sound rather unprepared. This guy is where he belongs , I would not want to meet him on the street at any time of my life especially when I’m a parent .

So true.....its part of our legal system, I'm sure is the last thing they would want to do....I agreed with you John...
Yes. They are trying to defend him against the death penalty. Not to get him off for the crime.
Absolutely true .thank you for sharing this. As many are ignorant to the law
Everyone already knows all this! They're still scumbags ok.

The mom was not the sharpest tool in the shed.
@@northsentinelisland4763 The "system" failed Cherish long before any of this happened.
@@northsentinelisland4763maybe, but I'm sure she didn't want her child murdered

Whoever was in charge of the audio on all these videos did a horrible job

Good one L&C. The advertising audio throughout the video almost blew my eardrum.
I wonder if Smith's mother was in court for any of his trial. I've never seen a photo of her.
I’ve seen ones when Donald Smith was a kid, I imagine the lack of photos of her would be for her safety
@@therevelator31 You're probably correct, yep.

Much Better. Thanks. Cali
This doctor, though working for the defense, is extremely knowledgeable. I learned a ton of information from him.
Pharm/Doc very smug know it all
Lorrie Santos - EXACTLY!! Condescending, snippy!!
And he is not a physician. He is trained in pharmacy. A psychiatrist would be better to answer these questions.
Very!!!!
Came here to say the same. He comes across very rude towards the prosecutor.
Especially during proffer when he claimed psychiatrists only have a day or so re: meds
*(note to self... never go to jacksonville fl.
Are they really trying to say he committed this crime due to drug use? 😂 😂
Look at how this monster behaves. He is bored with judgment.
**revised note to self... Never go to Florida period
What is said and by whom at 0:44-0:48? When the Judge kept saying “No, no, no”???
Why's that he did something so awful to the little girl cherish periwinkle for and end her life and kidnap her from the Mom and lying to the little girl that he's going to bring her back because that's sick and what he did to her 😠
This man a dangerous predator should have been removed from a society a looong time ago
Poor, poor Mr Smith - I suggest they put him out of his misery.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😆🤣😅

He's not a man, nor is he an animal. I guess fiend or monster comes to mind.

I hope the Mom sues everyone that failed to keep him off the streets!!!!!!!
Here Here!

So he’s smoking crack in the Walmart bathroom, though none of the tapes they showed displayed him going to the bathroom at Walmart?
@@fetishisticrose he said it in a jail phone call to his mother- never said it was stated on this video…
@@fetishisticrose seems you missed my original point but go off…
All lies. He fooled that dr. Too
The audio is awful on the last few videos.
Edit: it eventually gets better

Not blaming the mom but what kind of person lets their kid go anywhere alone w a stranger
She did not know that they left the Walmart it was her understanding that they went to the McDonald's inside the store or maybe it was Subway and after they walked off that's what the mother assumed
@@fetishisticrose I thought about this a lot. This monster put up a good ack. He is a very good liar.
You: "not blaming the mom but"
Also you: proceeds to blame mom
Dr. Holmes effectively destroyed this buffoon’s testimony before he even got on the stand, lol!
These Law & Crime videos are so bad I can't even hear what's going on. Frustrating!
This judge is to happy go luck. Why is she laughing and being cheerful.
I suppose all the horrible trials she has to preside over would make her very depressed if she allowed them to. It's probably her way of protecting her own mental health. I've seen a lot of cheerful judges in murder trials
This judge is voice is so annoying to me
This psych testimony is fascinating. Only wish attys respected their microphone. 🙄
Great coverage. Thx 👍
I have to agree with you.
Bulldhit !!!! He should have never been back on streets
Sound is so bad I cant understand them. Trying so hard! Cali
Try headphones. I'm using them and the audio is very clear and I've had no problems.
The audio is ever so poor ... ought to be adjusted asap
Some of these lawyers are doing a poor job and sound rather unprepared. This guy is where he belongs , I would not want to meet him on the street at any time of my life especially when I’m a parent .
Dr. Holmes is brilliant.
Now with sound. Thanks for reuploading!
No medical expert regardless of the branch, farmaceutic, psychic etc. will or rather COULD ever excuse the acts he's done. Never will that happen.
You no as far as his lawyers go they got to make a dollar you no
I didn't no till I seen this a man could stop that low it's plum scary
what a waste of money...bet it's tax payer's money. ...these experts make me ill.
This so called Dr. Is sickens me to the core
Defending this predator is their job but at what cost? There is no justice in actions of defending this guy
If they defend him properly he has little chance of getting back out on a technicality. There is value in that.
Tweezers
That attorney needs to do something with her hair. It looks so unprofessional😏
spottedbutt I’m pretty sure the jury have bigger fish to fry.
im sure she needs your advice spottedbutt
Yes. Hair is absolutely the first thing that I go to when gauging an attorney's competence. 😒
Gotham is a great show, watch it bobby
I had to turn this off, because I couldn't understand this woman because she talked too fast!
No stand for the jury. Totally disrespectful
What do you mean?
Yawn 🥱
