I think his defense attorney is very good! Yeah I’ve flipped back and forth about him being guilty or innocent. Due to lack of evidence against him though, id say innocent
You do know that this guys son( the son who he complained about and wanted to “ get rid of him “) died suspiciously as well , right ? Two people he’s close with and then are angry they want to break away from him end up “ committing suicide “? Seems like a pattern with this guy

@@iammrpositive5108 I agrée with most of your points with the exception of referencing mental health issues and suicide as a result seem to have some familial pattern ( genetics ?).

Why is the Judge being a hard ass on waiting until the other Prosecutor is there? It must be on record somewhere that he agreed for the Prosecutor to attend her appointment. If this is so why go back on his word.
Idk maybe cuz there's other cases to be judged and not all your legal team needs to be there for the ruling. The guy is also a prosecutor and neither side had anything to do but listen to the judge make the ruling.
Judges should make the ruling first, then explain the reason. For example, "The motion to dismiss is granted. The reasons are..." Or, "The motion to dismiss is denied. The reasons are..." That accomplishes the same goal: inform the parties, and give reasons for the appellate court to consider, if necessary. But, judges who love being the center of attention with a captive audience will reverse this. They love watching people hang on to their every word in suspense and trying to guess which way they will go with the decision.
@@FreeWorldSpirit313People love attention. Some judges are attention seekers. One judge I know gets off the bench and paces in front of the attorney tables while he pontificates. It's ridiculous. We're all human, and some of us absolutely crave attention.
Watched the whole trial, and the judge is annoyed because the state's case is extremely weak. The judge here was considering a Rule 29 motion to acquit, and the prosecution thought they were going to have their case dismissed. It seems fairly clear that the cops got Matheu Moore in their sights, and manufactured a case against him based on questionable expert opinion and circumstantial evidence; and the prosecution behaved badly presenting the case. We didn't find out until closing arguments that the state contend that, on his wife's birthday, after a very long day the couple spent together - collecting spring water, taking photos at the field of heroes, they visited his father, went out for a meal and a few drinks, drove home, at 8:40pm the prosecution say the wife, Emily - changed into walking clothes and set off into the woods. The sun set at 8:49pm that day - and they're saying, Moore - a large man with a big beard, followed her into the woods, killed her, dragged her into an overgrown thicket, and staged her suicide by hanging in the dark. Next day he phoned the police around 5pm and reported her missing; and the day after that he was interviewed by police, and took his shirt off and showed he didn't have a scratch on him. Police disregarded that fact, and just kept coming after him - relying ultimately on a paid expert to testify that the skeletal damage was caused by manual strangulation to bring a murder charge. Otherwise there is no evidence against Moore. No witnesses, no CCTV, no forensics - nothing, and every indication he spent the night on the couch watching youtube and messing around on his phone. It's simply not possible that such a large man carried a body into that overgrown area - police had to crawl on hands and knees to get to, and not get all scratched up. Less yet is it possible he could have staged a hanging in the dark. It's not likely, after such a long day Emily went into the woods at sunset. Nonetheless, the judge refused the motion to acquit, and allowed the case to continue. The jury are now considering their verdict. In my opinion (if I were on the jury) he should be found not guilty.
100 % agree. No evidence given to court during the proceedings. If you change mattheau’s with anyone (bob, Michael, Jane)….no evidence given. Not guilty.
The prosecution closing argument was superb. The defense closing argument was the same old yelling and crawling on the floor. No defense. Was tough to watch actually
There's just still something weird about this whole story we'll never know the one can even come back and tell her story God knows and he knows so there ya be
9:50 he states homicide, 10:58 he says it again. I didn't see them storm out the first time I seen this. Hope jury realizes what their choice did. Nobody in town had motive.
And there goes the little boy!! Throwing all his toys out and walking out with hanging shoulders like a naughty child!! Laughable! Hope his parents are proud on the way there hard earned money was spend to pay for his studies!.
Great judge and SMART too.. he did the right thing, spite the outburst by the State attorney - I call that an *HONORABLE JUDGE* - more like him needed in the Court system !!!!!!
@@williamhurrelbrink3324no it wasn't. Their jobs were done. The judge heard everything went home thought about it, came the next day to declare his ruling. Everyone in the world or no one could have been in that courtroom and the decision would still have been stated and wrapped up.
Wow, have never seen an attorney talk to a judge that way. Very unprofessional and does not represent the state well at all. Kudos to the judge for his restraint.
The lead prosecutor was not in attendance. The judge had told her that she didn’t need to be there that day and then on the day he told her she didn’t need to be present , he then decided to make a ruling in her absence
The Judge's long-winded, yet incomplete explanation for his determinations demonstrates that this matter required greater wisdom than he alone possessed. Therefore it should be tried by a jury of the defendant's peers. His social and economic and cultural peers. Most judges even if they are good when they start out end up becoming full of pride, and have bigotry and contempt for juries. The Almighty law giver of Creation says that there is wisdom in the counsel of many. This judge should have heeded that advice.. notwithstanding all of this I do not know all of the ins and oats and particulars nor do I know all of the evidence presented thus far. Thus I can only draw my conclusions from what was presented in this video and what I have gone it from the comments of others who appear to have more insight.
So the prosecutor threw a tantrum disrespected the judge and court stomped out of the courtroom like a giant baby all for nothing? He got his way in the end. How embarrassing for him.
At first I was with the lawyer because I thought the judge was allowing the case to happen without the main lawyer but that’s not what’s happening…the case is done and the judge is just giving his decision so tbh the judge was right in telling the prosecution that it ain’t a big deal if someone else takes her place to hear his decision
That man killed his wife and it's going to come out. He was mad with her because she was not at home when his son killed himself and he got so upset with her and killed her.😢
I'm shocked he wasn't held in contempt.
^^^^^😀

Too bad we don’t have a “not proved” verdict as opposed to “not guilty”.
Judge told the prosecutor not to show up then proceeded without them...
That guy that walked out was also a prosecutor. He probably told her an alternate would be fine but he didn't want to stay there.
Told the LEAD prosecutor. At that stage she didn't truly need to be there. Everything was wrapped up, he was just reading the ruling.
People want to send this dude away for life because his behavior doesn't fit the grieving husband character in their Hallmark films.

Wow the judge is so professional. Not surprising but surprising...
I agree can you imagine that douche bag Judge in Wisconsin doing anything like this ever?
The 2nd Prosecutor was extremely unprofessional and should be dismissed of his duties.

He can be angry, but anger doesn’t justify unprofessionalism.

Shows no respect for the court.
No wonder this judge retired… he’s a joke
Baby had a tantrum. Boohoo.

Not having a Prosecutor present in a hearing is unconscionable. I am glad the defenses motion to dismiss this case was denied.
He always seemed to be drunk though
