Quite the push from the Defense Attorney. I changed job every 2 years from the age of 16 until I was married at 29. I now own and run a company and very successful. My oldest son doesn’t know what he wants and he’s 22. And it is 100% okay to switch jobs and not know what to do with your life and it’s 100% okay to want to get out of a drama filled household. Been there. Done that. Nice try.
He’s phone not around she called him if it was Scott why not call Gary about the horse why call Scott she trying to set him Up I be Scott why because they didn’t gain anything but melody never worked
Scott has been totaly transparent with his schedule, his friends backed him up, he was having a great week until his mom killed his dad. He talked to police alot. And mom was happy to see she hurt him and made him a suspect. This was between mom and dad, and boyfriend in the shadows and divorce.
I’m not sure he’s been completely transparent. Quite the opposite in fact. He also had a lot gain from his fathers death, esp if his mother was found guilty of it. Theres also the question of how she moved the body from the home. Gary was over 300lb. Thats a very heavy dead weight to move. She’d either need help or someone else did it.
She may not be able to lift him but definitely knew how drive the tractor and there was blood on it!! She is a cold hearted killer and not even worthy of being called a mother!!
Horrible defense, making him look a failure in life. He's not. He's a fine man and had a very abusive childhood with a narcissist mother. A good man like his Dad. And completely innocent.
There is something desperately wrong with the GA DA’s They can’t figure out how Melody FARRIS got her husband into the burn pile. 1. You put a tarp on the floor beside him. And rolled his butt over on it (this also prevents leakage on floor) Tidy 2. Get a long piece of rope and thread it through metal holes on end of tarp (closest to door) 3. Back the RTV up to the door. Attach rope to RTV. 4. Start the RTV and drag tarp to burn pile 5. Holding tarp on side roll him off the tarp into burn pile (Put messy tarp in burn pile) 6. Now sit back and wait for some investigator to figure this out. Obviously they don’t have a clue. (Ask any nurse who has moved 300 lb people before several times a day to verify instructions)
The mother is a total ice queen.. she has the personality of a dead pigeon. She is definitely the killer. There are plenty of small women who kill and move large bodies. This attorney gets on my nerves the way hes trying to twist things. What mother would even go along with this defense. Her lover is the one that turned her in. She confessed to him. Guilty as charged.
What if he started the fire, was standing over it, and she came up pretending to speak to him. Shot him in the back, and he fell forward into the fire pit. Her statement " he wasn't supposed to burn that bad" bothers. Then, telling Rusty her lover at 2am, " Gary's in the firepit." 8 hours before anyone looks for him.
@Libby-x3w Thought I was missing something after hearing about Scott saw blood in the basement. Melody too ocd to leave blood spots. I did not hear if crime scene person not seeing blood.
@@NunYaBizNus1 Scott earned his keep. Look at the pics of the property. All the Scott haters couldn’t have done what he did & certainly wouldn’t have done it for nothing.
The trail of blood says the dad walked out of the house and she used the tracktor to move him to the burn pit. Scott wasnt even home and when he came back the burn pit was already burning. Melody did it alone.
When his dad sent the message saying he needed to find work becuz things were gonna change. I wonder if that made Scott mad. If his dad was thinking of selling the farm. Which Scott continually calls his farm. He doesn’t say my mom and dad’s farm. He constantly says our farm. We bought the farm. He acts like he owned it too. That makes me wonder how mad he would be if his dad sold it because his mom was cheating. Kill ur dad, blame ur mom and try to control the money.just thinking. Idk. But there’s way too much reasonable doubt in my opinion to convict the wife. Plus how could she move 280 plus pounds of weight. I just can’t see that. Plus a body with that weight compared to furniture etc is much different. I can’t see her maneuvering that.
And neither son appears to be able to keep anything except menial jobs. Why didn’t they go to college I wonder? It was daddy’s law firm-why didn’t they want to go into law? If daddy was such a genius, the kids should have been able to get an education. Something is suspicious
@@katewalsh2007Agreed. From testimony Chris was attracted to drugs & alcohol, Scott partying + jumping jobs continually. The one termination he described (described in the 2nd video of this cross examination) has him going into detail without ever being asked why it wasn't his fault. Something tells me, from his point of view, none of his terminations for 41 years were ever his fault.
I was on Melodys side until Rusty testified! I do believe they conspired this now, they being Rusty and Melody!!! Btw - Melody has worn 3 different bands/ rings on her wedding finger during this trial 🤭
So the idea behind Scott being home all the time and of course mom probably assumed he was being a deadbeat kid not feeling like doing anything, it was most likely because whether he wants to admit it or not Scott had PTSD and didn’t like to be around a lot of people and probably needed time to adjustand mom didn’t like that. She just thought he was home being in Nothing.
What is it with this flipping lawyer? There's nothing wrong with living with your parents. All my children are adults & still live with me & as a mother I will support them!
I had a sense all along specially with her throwing her son under the bus that she probably favored her daughter's more than the boys and he just verified that.
Something sketchy about Amanda. Melody told Rusty to tell Amanda to keep quiet and she is the only one siding w her mom. She also tried to convince others that her dad had a heart attack and fell in the burnpit
@@adalovelace7620maybe Amanda isn't Gary's but a love child. Maybe Melody doesn't want that known. Maybe since Gary was changing his will & filing for divorce again he wasn't leaving Amanda anything. Does Amanda know who her daddy is?
Still not convinced she did it. Theres the question of how she could move the body without help which hasn’t been answered and she’s clearly not the only one with motive. Scott was being threatened with having his father not paying all his expenses. His mother despite everyrhing she’d done still had a lot of influence over his father who’d still listen to her. He still wanted the marriage to work and did everything he could to keep her happy.
This lawyer tried everything to make him look bad. It's no one's business if he worked for his dad. What's that got to do with Melodie killing his dad.
For Burn Pile case, I think dad was at pit preparing to burn objects while son and friends were practicing shooting. One of their bullets hit the dad, and he fell into the fire pit, and they set the mother up. Why did friend leave box of bullets at house? And no gun.
Urrghh!!! This defense laywer is such a jerk!! So what!! Scott is Gary's son and was raised to help as a hard worker around the house or if he had a job. Basically work hard and be a good man. Why would he think of his dad as a Boss. For everything Scott has done for his DAD...in Scotts mind..its cuz its his dad. Anyone can be a boss. Anyone can be a Father but noone can be a good dad just teaching or advising his own son to be a good man. This defense laywer making my BP going up! 😠
My thoughts are she shot him in the basement and he tried to get away from her and go towards the barn. But he probably made it near the burn pile and she pushed him in. She didn’t have to move his body. She’s guilty…. case closed. My only question is…if they found blood in the house was there any blood found outside in the grass?
Anyone listening to Scott can tell by listening to him can tell what an honest person that loves his Dad & the bond he had with him.The defense is rridiculous!Not really listening to Scott.He was doing work on farm ,his Dad couldn't be there because of his job..Don't know why defense asks stupid questions! Very upsetting &anoying!
I like Scott. He is the escape goat in this murder trial. He was honest and didn’t lawyer up. His friends stepped in and accounted for his where abouts. He also knew the tractor was not placed back where he has it. He was the person that held melody accountable for her actions. He definitely didn’t prision his dad since the lady from the office said that the father felt melody was poisoning her. The jury has to have intelligence and morals. If they don’t they are counting on a mistrial. There are so many facts that point directly to Melody. From shoes and her character of saying she is with a friend and how rusty and melody were able to deceive Gary where she was at. There was a lack of trust on Melody by Gary and he had all reason to be. Very deceptive lady. This wasn’t her first rodeo
Gary was no killed in the basement not enough blood plus where is the sign of clean up there should be signs of more blood I think she’s guilty but was killed outside. A mother throwing her kids under the bus is trying to protect her own self. She’s guilty! And a liar first she didn’t trust Rusty then she wanted him to get her out of jail she loves him which is it? He’s a liar to who do you believe?
Scott appears to be a decent man who was not academically inclined but who was was an honest, hardworking young man trying to establish a career for himself and being a good member of society. Many people take years finding the right profession, and, for many reasons, military service can be a temporary career. Obviously, Scott tried a variety of means to support himself but, due in part to circumstances beyond his control, was unable to continue serving in the military or obtaining a law enforcement position. One wonders, did Melody ever have a job, support herself, or contribute to the family finances? She certainly loved living a lavish lifestyle, even having affairs and spending the money her husband earned on those partners and trysts, while she sometimes resented the money her husband gave to their children. Scott did not have a financial motive to kill his father - he would not inherit money, property or his father's retirement pension. However, Melody had all of those motives, plus it was clear she despised her husband and wanted to marry her illicit boyfriend Rusty. Melody could have divorced her husband years ago, but it appears she was greedy, immoral and wanted all his money. Given that Melody is willing to have one or more of her children go to jail for a crime she likely committed, she may be a sociopath.
What does who's name is on the credit card have to do with her murdering her husband? Is he being punished by this attorney because he calls his mother by her first name? Or is she trying to have her lawyer point the murder at her son?
Did Scott say his dad wld give it ( credit card) back to Scott after a couple days later? If Scott did daily work on the farm was it only fair Scott shld be given pecuniary consideration like everyone else for work done on the farm?
Why??? He described a bad wreck. I expected much, much worse. It isn't like he was anywhere near frontlines. Troops were already leaving before he enlisted.
Did I miss something.......why did his dad drive him to the recruiting office to enlist? Didn't he have a driver's license already? Didn't he have his own car? I'm curious how it came to be that day I'm asking was this the dad say Scott needed to do Something with his life in terms of working.....wasn't Scott older than average recruits - I'm behind & trying to catch up but I personally am dealing with a deadbeat adult kid & have 1st hand experience with a king of excuses and this guys testimony is ALL TO FAMILIAR it's cringe like the hate the mom will not work counting my money always an excuse etc etc hell I could be an expert witness
To me the preponderance of evidence that gives me reasonable doubt is the fact that her son Scott is so very involved and everything with about his parents who did not seem to want him involved. His parents were sleeping with what money they were spending and what they were doing with theirbelongings was not his business and he seems so very very involved like he were the parent or the breadwinner
Dont believe he killed his dad because he was his meal ticket. But he really really sponged off of dad. And stole money from him too. Keeps saying we bought the house we bought the farm. No, daddy did. Im sure the will to be divided among the kids if theres anything left after melodys attorney fees.
It clears up after couple minutes - or it did for me. The 2nd part of this cross examination has no problem. Just search Scott Farris Cross Examination 14.4 & it'll come up too.
As a mother myself...I don't see a problem with Scott living at home and dad gives him money. He actually help take care of yard work, feed them farm animals and make sure them chickens living large in that CABIN (the chicken coop). He may be a freeloader but I believe he is not the murderer! 🤔🤨
How many had motive and opportunity? Besides the son and wife. Why 2:44 the basement instead of over or near the burn pile. Bc Who can move a 300 lb. dead body? She said he’s on the burn pile. She didn’t say she put him there. She’s protecting her son.
My theory is she shot in the basement so he tries to get away started running outside then she shot outside again maybe near the burn fire and he fell in and she burned him.
I'm sorry, he is incredibly self centred, likes to take credit for being a good guy. The army begged him to fly helicopters and yet discharged him. He had no defined direction in his life and couldn't really explain his time in army or when he saw burnt bodies, he is all over the place. When it comes to the farm it's we we we as if he was so supportive....He is LYING!!! He over justifies himself!!! RED FLAGS THERE!!
He didn’t need a paycheck bc he lives a simple life. But even a simple life benefits by a savings account if you don’t spend your whole paycheck. That’s why he should want a paycheck. Savings. To not ask permission or to borrow $ later.
This defense attorney is terrible at his job. Ridiculously wasting time, twisting witness' words even b4 allowing them to answer causing mispoken words. Defend his client according to what she is charged with... don't disassemble other's testimony in order to direct & produce a blockbuster fictitious storyline that criminalizes the innocent. The defendant is clearly guilty & the defense attorney job is to prove her not guilty and/or keep HER out of prison. Its definately NOT to shred apart what's left of this family. It's not them that were charged with a crime, it was the defendant. Eliminating all the made up drama & focusing on what their job actually is. Ridiculous waste of time & money.
Melody did it we all know she is responsible for her husband's death.. I already said that she did not have to carry that man out of the house. She shot him at the burn pile while he was adding material to burn to the fire. He would have never expected her to come up from behind and shoot him in a back he would have fell forward like I said she probably took the bloodiest part of the shirt and ripped a piece off and took it so that Melody would use that blood-soaked shirt later for setting up Scott. I believe Melody would take that bloody soaked shirt and squeeze some of the blood out in different areas in the basement so that they would know that a small frame woman like her could never have gotten her large husband out of the house so it must have been her son Scott. The jewelry is much smarter than that you can see whenever she was getting phone calls at the jail did that that Melody was using codes with her daughter Amanda she was trying to get Scott out of the house change locks he wanted to make sure that her sons were not included especially Scott you can tell she has a hate for that child. I think it's very sad you know children when their mother hurts their father emotionally and has an affair and leaves her kids for another man and seals money out of the bank account of substantial amount and comes back months later and her husband took her back.I believe also she added accelerant and other stuff to the burn pile to make his body burn for hours she probably kept adding trash to the pile and sticks and whatever kind of accelerant so that it would burn for hours.
After listening to Scott's testimony I think he has an IQ in the range 85 to 90 and I being charitable. In other words, his intelligence is below average.
You very well could be correct. He's incapable of recalling any definite dates whatsoever. The long winded explanation for the termination at the company he called The Warehouse sounded like an excuse that a teenager might come up with. Will the army accept an individual with subpar intelligence levels at that level? I know the AF won't - or didn't in the past. The cross exam just gets worse in continuation. Have you watched the 2nd part, Joe? Note how the atty appears be trying to figure out what's going on with him too.
@@palafox2237 geo digital evidence don't lie can U understand that Scott may be many things but the geo evidence says he's innocent science don't lie..or do U think it does..
I can't believe that viewers thought it couldn't be the mother why she was the one that had affairs and didn't hide it ..yes the son living there and I know the feeling his father wanted him there and didn't care about money...atleast there was someone there for him and his wife couldn't stand it cause she wanted to control
I had to watch a few videos to make sure who Scott and who Chris is!! Guys they are so alike 😮!! If Scott didn’t have gray hair i’ll believe that they’re identical twins!!
How why does she hates dear Scott what mum would find and plan a murder but Pitt her own child as the suspect pure evil 👿 i cannot believe a mum would set their own child so she could carry on seending Gary’s money and being a houre I hope you get hell in jail and you will never see Gary again he is heaven your going to gates off hell you’re decaying thing on my life 80yrs young
Greedy children are not believable in my eyes. I raised my son by my self I I do not blame her for expecting her kids to take care of their self. I dont care where Scott says he was , he had way more to loose. @@donnasloan2455
Why do they keep bringing up her statue or how small melody is and she couldn't carry the father I think it would have took three men to carry his father if he was murdered in the basement. I do not believe anything that a man that is saying because it's all here say from her mother it seems like Melody has control over her daughter's thinking it doesn't seem like a man that can think for herself. I believe anything that even Melanie or her daughter Amanda talk about is money money money everybody's getting money but she also had her house sign her dad also sign for her place her home to live in so I don't know why she talking about everybody else so what if she worked at a regular shopping store she didn't go to college she didn't have a career so I don't know why she's putting down Scott at least he went and bought for our country he gets no credit nobody comes back for more normal they see a lot of really really horrible things in war it does something to a person's mind it seems like Scott got no credit I'm sure he was different when he came home but I think it's pretty bad when Amanda is also poynette all her siblings but it's so easy for the mother Melody taking a gun shooting him at the burn pile taking his shirt that's blood drenched I'm cutting a peace out and then you know taking a piece putting it in the plastic bag and then taking it and dripping it downstairs in the basement taking a bullet from the gun she sold from Rusty's stepmother her boyfriend stepmother because she's the only one that could have stole that gun because you know that she testified Mrs Farris Rusty stepmother testified that Melody was the only one that knew where the gun was and it was missing and it's the same kind of gun that killed her father the bullets and they're saying well he's got bullets Scott's got bullets a box of bullets he must have known about the gun because he must have found the gun or something that the mother had stolen from Rusty's stepmother and I just think it's a shame that they're blaming Scott he seems to be set up you know I think Scott would have been smart enough to hide bullets but I really think that the mother planted that bullet downstairs and I also think she might have dripped blood on the wall and starting with the shirt to make it look like spider and then wiped it off and just put the drip then decide to drip it on the floor would look better so it's not enough blood to really say there was a big crime and like the bullet just is sitting here out in the open and Amanda didn't see it that I believe all that was planet there by Melody Gary's wife she's the one that had everything to gain and makes me sick that a man did every Amanda had a wedding that was just paid for a really nice wedding and it and her mother made her letter bring Rusty her new lover to the wedding That's a hard thing for her sons out to take why would her son's got want to kill him if anything they want to kill the mother not the father you know they love their father but I think the boys had something against the mother and I don't think the daughter Amanda really care because she's happy because she also had her dad sign for their home and they and her wedding was paid for by her parents. So why is it okay for Amanda to get her home coastline and it's not okay for everybody else to get in her father's pockets.

He kept getting on my nerves saying we bought, we bought, he didn’t buy anything
@@Donna-m9y Is he not PART of the family?
Not sure if my Mother liked any of us😂😂😂😂
My thoughts are she shot him in the basement and he tried to get away from her and go towards the barn. But he probably made it near the burn pile and she pushed him in. She didn’t have to move his body. She’s guilty….
case closed.
My only question is…if they found blood in the house was there any blood found outside in the grass?
One son(Gary) talks too much...He doesn't just answer the question he just keeps on talking in details...usually a bad sign..he's involved
Nah
@@AsHcOLe25 or he's nervous 🤷♀️
The dad was called Gary the sons were Scott and Chris
Agree scott is involved
I agree Scott does talk way too much and not answering just the question but I just can't agreed that he is involved. Just my thoughts. 🤔
She doesn’t look 64 years old, she aged 10 more years in the last months
Melody is a very cold lady 😢
Lady is being too kind.
Anyone listening to Scott can tell by listening to him can tell what an honest person that loves his Dad & the bond he had with him.The defense is rridiculous!Not really listening to Scott.He was doing work on farm ,his Dad couldn't be there because of his job..Don't know why defense asks stupid questions! Very upsetting &anoying!
Melanie needs to take the stand. Tired of the recordings. She is extremely strategic and unemotional with this entire tragic situation.
I like Scott. He is the escape goat in this murder trial. He was honest and didn’t lawyer up. His friends stepped in and accounted for his where abouts. He also knew the tractor was not placed back where he has it. He was the person that held melody accountable for her actions. He definitely didn’t prision his dad since the lady from the office said that the father felt melody was poisoning her. The jury has to have intelligence and morals. If they don’t they are counting on a mistrial. There are so many facts that point directly to Melody. From shoes and her character of saying she is with a friend and how rusty and melody were able to deceive Gary where she was at. There was a lack of trust on Melody by Gary and he had all reason to be. Very deceptive lady. This wasn’t her first rodeo
Scott's favorite two words are "You Know".
His third fav word is "my".
Mamá moved his 300 lb (dead weight) body from the basement across the yard to the burn pile! Ok. “They still don’t have any evidence” she said.
@@ChakalakaBoom13 He died in the house? I missed that evidence mainly because Melody burned it up.
Gary was no killed in the basement not enough blood plus where is the sign of clean up there should be signs of more blood I think she’s guilty but was killed outside. A mother throwing her kids under the bus is trying to protect her own self. She’s guilty! And a liar first she didn’t trust Rusty then she wanted him to get her out of jail she loves him which is it? He’s a liar to who do you believe?
Totally agree
Scott appears to be a decent man who was not academically inclined but who was was an honest, hardworking young man trying to establish a career for himself and being a good member of society. Many people take years finding the right profession, and, for many reasons, military service can be a temporary career. Obviously, Scott tried a variety of means to support himself but, due in part to circumstances beyond his control, was unable to continue serving in the military or obtaining a law enforcement position. One wonders, did Melody ever have a job, support herself, or contribute to the family finances? She certainly loved living a lavish lifestyle, even having affairs and spending the money her husband earned on those partners and trysts, while she sometimes resented the money her husband gave to their children. Scott did not have a financial motive to kill his father - he would not inherit money, property or his father's retirement pension. However, Melody had all of those motives, plus it was clear she despised her husband and wanted to marry her illicit boyfriend Rusty. Melody could have divorced her husband years ago, but it appears she was greedy, immoral and wanted all his money. Given that Melody is willing to have one or more of her children go to jail for a crime she likely committed, she may be a sociopath.
Real issues with the audio.
CHANGING JOBS MEANS HE WAS INDEED WORKING DUH
Exactly 😅 dumb defense lawyer 😅
Poor guy. He looks a lot like his mom but his character is not like her thankfully
What does who's name is on the credit card have to do with her murdering her husband? Is he being punished by this attorney because he calls his mother by her first name? Or is she trying to have her lawyer point the murder at her son?
Did Scott say his dad wld give it ( credit card) back to Scott after a couple days later?
If Scott did daily work on the farm was it only fair Scott shld be given pecuniary consideration like everyone else for work done on the farm?
Agree he worked the farm
Scott ferris is "full of it " .
It’s ‘Farris’ & no he isn’t.
He's not full of it he seems a nice bloke actually
Totally agree
Yes he is.
@@palafox2237 Yeah he’s full of anger, justifiably.
Scott really was throwing his mom under the bus!
I dint notice at first, this is my second time watching it, but DAMN! HE REALLY IS
Tht attorney should have NEVER asked Abt wht went on in Iraq, tht should have NEVER been allowed
Why??? He described a bad wreck. I expected much, much worse. It isn't like he was anywhere near frontlines. Troops were already leaving before he enlisted.
Did I miss something.......why did his dad drive him to the recruiting office to enlist? Didn't he have a driver's license already? Didn't he have his own car? I'm curious how it came to be that day I'm asking was this the dad say Scott needed to do Something with his life in terms of working.....wasn't Scott older than average recruits - I'm behind & trying to catch up but I personally am dealing with a deadbeat adult kid & have 1st hand experience with a king of excuses and this guys testimony is ALL TO FAMILIAR it's cringe like the hate the mom will not work counting my money always an excuse etc etc hell I could be an expert witness
I think the defense attorney has a real problem questioning anyone on their deployment.
To me the preponderance of evidence that gives me reasonable doubt is the fact that her son Scott is so very involved and everything with about his parents who did not seem to want him involved. His parents were sleeping with what money they were spending and what they were doing with theirbelongings was not his business and he seems so very very involved like he were the parent or the breadwinner
Are U forgetting Scott was cleared he wasn't even there it's the defence trying to cause doubt
Agree
@@leighannmathews7839 You fell for the doubt & suspicion that requires no proof - that’s why you’re ignoring the real proof of who’s truly guilty.
Alibi … he had one that’s why evidence not feelings are used to determine guilt or innocence
Dont believe he killed his dad because he was his meal ticket. But he really really sponged off of dad. And stole money from him too. Keeps saying we bought the house we bought the farm. No, daddy did. Im sure the will to be divided among the kids if theres anything left after melodys attorney fees.
Whats wrong with the audio
It clears up after couple minutes - or it did for me. The 2nd part of this cross examination has no problem. Just search Scott Farris Cross Examination 14.4 & it'll come up too.
As a mother myself...I don't see a problem with Scott living at home and dad gives him money. He actually help take care of yard work, feed them farm animals and make sure them chickens living large in that CABIN (the chicken coop). He may be a freeloader but I believe he is not the murderer! 🤔🤨
@@zoualee4807 not even a freeloader - he’s the reason Melody’s property appeared so pristine.
@donnasloan2455 exactly! So nice and clean. Well taken care of. I dislike the DA. Makes my blood pressure go up.
Someone needs to go magnet fishing in that lake.
Defense does a good job of showing Scott's mochness
@@Iknowthings-i5u I’d like to see you take care of that farm for free.
How many had motive and opportunity? Besides the son and wife. Why 2:44 the basement instead of over or near the burn pile. Bc Who can move a 300 lb. dead body? She said he’s on the burn pile. She didn’t say she put him there. She’s protecting her son.
My theory is she shot in the basement so he tries to get away started running outside then she shot outside again maybe near the burn fire and he fell in and she burned him.
@@silvamedina9188agree
How would she know he's on the burn pile if she didn't do it 😅
@@annebosworth7048 she can say that if she saw him there. If she came home and covered everything up for Scott.
I’m getting the impression the two sons are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
I do not understand what his army service has to do with this case.
I'm sorry, he is incredibly self centred, likes to take credit for being a good guy. The army begged him to fly helicopters and yet discharged him. He had no defined direction in his life and couldn't really explain his time in army or when he saw burnt bodies, he is all over the place. When it comes to the farm it's we we we as if he was so supportive....He is LYING!!! He over justifies himself!!! RED FLAGS THERE!!
Mom and son have motive. We have the family’s timeline? Reasonable doubt X 2.
@@ChakalakaBoom13 son had no motive whatsoever
The way this defense attorney keeps laughing at the judges rulings is really disrespectful and annoying. He did the same thing when Emily testified.
She covers her mouth a lot. Have to do with body language? I like to hear what people think.
It means she's deceitful.
She’s trying to hide?
She's trying to hide the fact the lip filler went wrong
I feel like that i haven't heard all 6 crossings at that this stage!! Really Lorna
Footage so CHOPPY I'm not watching!!!!!!!!
He didn’t need a paycheck bc he lives a simple life. But even a simple life benefits by a savings account if you don’t spend your whole paycheck. That’s why he should want a paycheck. Savings. To not ask permission or to borrow $ later.
Part of being an adult, taking incentive & responsibility to live your own life This one fought it every step.
This defense attorney is terrible at his job. Ridiculously wasting time, twisting witness' words even b4 allowing them to answer causing mispoken words. Defend his client according to what she is charged with... don't disassemble other's testimony in order to direct & produce a blockbuster fictitious storyline that criminalizes the innocent. The defendant is clearly guilty & the defense attorney job is to prove her not guilty and/or keep HER out of prison. Its definately NOT to shred apart what's left of this family. It's not them that were charged with a crime, it was the defendant. Eliminating all the made up drama & focusing on what their job actually is. Ridiculous waste of time & money.
The Mother was abusive 🎯 she is a Monster.
Why did his father drive him to the recruiting office to enlist on the army? He was in mid 20's he had a car & drivers license......
When both did it, what shall we do? Who moved the dead body?
@@ChakalakaBoom13 who said the body was dead before the fire pit?
I'm very disappointed in how the body language was read very wrong
Since everyone is innocent, he killed himself and fell in the firepit. Horrible people, unreal!!
The sons look like their dad, is Gary the father of both the girls?
Something wrong with this guy
Something is wrong with the sound.
Melody did it we all know she is responsible for her husband's death.. I already said that she did not have to carry that man out of the house. She shot him at the burn pile while he was adding material to burn to the fire. He would have never expected her to come up from behind and shoot him in a back he would have fell forward like I said she probably took the bloodiest part of the shirt and ripped a piece off and took it so that Melody would use that blood-soaked shirt later for setting up Scott. I believe Melody would take that bloody soaked shirt and squeeze some of the blood out in different areas in the basement so that they would know that a small frame woman like her could never have gotten her large husband out of the house so it must have been her son Scott. The jewelry is much smarter than that you can see whenever she was getting phone calls at the jail did that that Melody was using codes with her daughter Amanda she was trying to get Scott out of the house change locks he wanted to make sure that her sons were not included especially Scott you can tell she has a hate for that child. I think it's very sad you know children when their mother hurts their father emotionally and has an affair and leaves her kids for another man and seals money out of the bank account of substantial amount and comes back months later and her husband took her back.I believe also she added accelerant and other stuff to the burn pile to make his body burn for hours she probably kept adding trash to the pile and sticks and whatever kind of accelerant so that it would burn for hours.
Obviously you didn't watch much of the trial because you just made up a fairy tale.
@Court TV Fix your video issues here.
How long was Scott in the army.
After listening to Scott's testimony I think he has an IQ in the range 85 to 90 and I being charitable. In other words, his intelligence is below average.
@@joejordan5879 he’s not on trial
@donnasloan2455 where did I ever write in my comment that Scott was on trial? My god, you need to take a reading comprehension test.
You very well could be correct. He's incapable of recalling any definite dates whatsoever. The long winded explanation for the termination at the company he called The Warehouse sounded like an excuse that a teenager might come up with. Will the army accept an individual with subpar intelligence levels at that level? I know the AF won't - or didn't in the past. The cross exam just gets worse in continuation. Have you watched the 2nd part, Joe?
Note how the atty appears be trying to figure out what's going on with him too.
@@palafox2237can you send me a link to part 2? I never found a second part.

How many times is he gonna say you know
He didn’t see any burned bodies
Scott why did he say don't want to quote I thoughthe said I was no baby
I don't believe anything he says.
Nobody cares
I do he's very believable and he was cleared
I dont beleive him either

I can't believe that viewers thought it couldn't be the mother why she was the one that had affairs and didn't hide it ..yes the son living there and I know the feeling his father wanted him there and didn't care about money...atleast there was someone there for him and his wife couldn't stand it cause she wanted to control
I had to watch a few videos to make sure who Scott and who Chris is!!
Guys they are so alike 😮!! If Scott didn’t have gray hair i’ll believe that they’re identical twins!!
Hey defense the only one who had affairs and hated Gary was the client he has proof of where he was u ridiculous
Gary had affairs too
I had some respect for people who study body language but oh now they were far wrong with scot
How why does she hates dear Scott what mum would find and plan a murder but Pitt her own child as the suspect pure evil 👿 i cannot believe a mum would set their own child so she could carry on seending Gary’s money and being a houre I hope you get hell in jail and you will never see Gary again he is heaven your going to gates off hell you’re decaying thing on my life 80yrs young
The video has a problem.
Is golf a sport
I think she could 😮moved the body. BUT HER SON IS MORE THE KILLER😮
I dont believe that for one minute. She stole the gun from Martha, and she shot Gary with it! Its probably in a lake somewhere...
Scott was cleared he wasnt there anyway
Agree
@@justine2520 no he isn’t. He wasn’t even there until Melody called him home. Did she ever say oh good, the horses are up now? No.
Greedy children are not believable in my eyes. I raised my son by my self I I do not blame her for expecting her kids to take care of their self. I dont care where Scott says he was , he had way more to loose. @@donnasloan2455
She has a great hair cut i think she classy.....sure probably snobby but a super strong killer no way
Why do they keep bringing up her statue or how small melody is and she couldn't carry the father I think it would have took three men to carry his father if he was murdered in the basement. I do not believe anything that a man that is saying because it's all here say from her mother it seems like Melody has control over her daughter's thinking it doesn't seem like a man that can think for herself. I believe anything that even Melanie or her daughter Amanda talk about is money money money everybody's getting money but she also had her house sign her dad also sign for her place her home to live in so I don't know why she talking about everybody else so what if she worked at a regular shopping store she didn't go to college she didn't have a career so I don't know why she's putting down Scott at least he went and bought for our country he gets no credit nobody comes back for more normal they see a lot of really really horrible things in war it does something to a person's mind it seems like Scott got no credit I'm sure he was different when he came home but I think it's pretty bad when Amanda is also poynette all her siblings but it's so easy for the mother Melody taking a gun shooting him at the burn pile taking his shirt that's blood drenched I'm cutting a peace out and then you know taking a piece putting it in the plastic bag and then taking it and dripping it downstairs in the basement taking a bullet from the gun she sold from Rusty's stepmother her boyfriend stepmother because she's the only one that could have stole that gun because you know that she testified Mrs Farris Rusty stepmother testified that Melody was the only one that knew where the gun was and it was missing and it's the same kind of gun that killed her father the bullets and they're saying well he's got bullets Scott's got bullets a box of bullets he must have known about the gun because he must have found the gun or something that the mother had stolen from Rusty's stepmother and I just think it's a shame that they're blaming Scott he seems to be set up you know I think Scott would have been smart enough to hide bullets but I really think that the mother planted that bullet downstairs and I also think she might have dripped blood on the wall and starting with the shirt to make it look like spider and then wiped it off and just put the drip then decide to drip it on the floor would look better so it's not enough blood to really say there was a big crime and like the bullet just is sitting here out in the open and Amanda didn't see it that I believe all that was planet there by Melody Gary's wife she's the one that had everything to gain and makes me sick that a man did every Amanda had a wedding that was just paid for a really nice wedding and it and her mother made her letter bring Rusty her new lover to the wedding That's a hard thing for her sons out to take why would her son's got want to kill him if anything they want to kill the mother not the father you know they love their father but I think the boys had something against the mother and I don't think the daughter Amanda really care because she's happy because she also had her dad sign for their home and they and her wedding was paid for by her parents. So why is it okay for Amanda to get her home coastline and it's not okay for everybody else to get in her father's pockets.
This is unwatchable... Is it just me?
Scott is a lier
He is a liar
