- Seventeen-year-old Collin Griffith is accused of killing his mother, Catherine Griffith, after the two allegedly got in a fight in September of 2024. Collin Griffith told investigators his mother came at him with a knife and she fell on it, forcing a fatal stab wound, but detectives say the teen really murdered her. In 2023, Griffith confessed to killing his father in Oklahoma in what he claimed was self-defense. He was originally arrested for his father’s death but those charges got dropped.

The evidence that was not let into this trial speaks volumes! Multiple text messages to his lawyer, telling him that he was gonna split his mother‘s throat. Telling his grandfather that he not only wanted to split her throat, but smear her blood and smell that blood as she’s dying, so much was left out of the jury ears in this case. What INNOCENT 16-year-old what would kill his father one year, put in the custody of his mother , and not only bragged about wanting to split her throat, but actually did it the next year. Give me a break. This is a psychopath that needs to be put away.
The confidential text message wasn't admitted into evidence, so the jury can't consider it in their deliberations. Too bad. So sad. Not guilty. All charges. Lol.
I can feel you. 😢 Imagine he walks free and the jury get to know it all about this case after the trial as most of the time the jury go back and research about the case. To Block relevant truth is not right
@@priontex4439 Stop trolling, you bellend.
@@priontex4439 u sound unstable like the psychopath mate.
@@J-ellO totally agree
He told people he’d rather be anywhere else than with his mom, but he was at grandmas and his mother comes there and she accidentally falls on a knife? He is extremely dangerous because he killed his dad too!
Where did you hear he killed his father?? I've not seen it anywhere.. TIA
They talked about it in court away from the jury@@Ittybitty733
Why did his mom come there if he didn't want to be around her if someone doesn't like you stay away
@@Ittybitty733 I guess you didn’t watch the hearings that kept his father’s murder out of this trial because of his age when he did it. That is the only reason he went back to live with Kathy was because his dad was murdered by him.
@@Ittybitty733they said it outside of the jury multiple times.
Imagine how weird it will be for the jurors when they find out the person he killed was his father
It’s hard to believe they don’t know that already…
It’s easy for us to figure out because he was living with his dad and then he wasn’t and if the jurors think about it, his dad was not mentioned anytime after he moved back in with his mom. I think it was worded by the attorney, when he was done living with his dad.
Why did they to find out that and be surprised they had more than enough evidence to convict him now
@ they could have thought it was a fight with a teen or something. I think he got out of murder because they talked so bad about the mom like she was on trial. How horrible as she isn’t here to defend herself. A lot they said were lies was just someone saying it was a lie. There was no proof but just cuz she wasn’t mom of the yr…. I think he will kill again. Unless they find the evidence she was talking about. Him admitting he planned it… he lies several times n changed his story. Why lie. Only to hide what he did.
I agree it's obvious they would find out before during the trial@@shannon.fields
This defense closing is ridiculous! If he gets off he should go live with her.
Are you saying you think it was effective at proving his innocence?
@priontex- I think that is what the poster said- you don’t need lightening to strike you twice, do ya?
@@priontex4439I said IF
It was all over the place with contradictions
He is definitely guilty. He looks like he doing duping delight at times. If he was really sorry he wouldn't be so smug.
Yeah, I think that’s why the defence lawyers are trying to block him from the cameras. They don’t want people to see how smug and pleased he looks.
Has to be guilty! No one is safe around him especially when he's annoyed or frustrated. Jury please find this individual guilty
I'm afraid they can't do that, nor should they. That would not be justice. Did you hear the closing arguments and jury instructions? He has the presumption of innocence, and the State came nowhere near to proving his guilt. Nobody knows exactly what happened in the grandmother's house, or who started the fight. Collin gets the benefit of the doubt, so he is going to be acquitted.
We know he pulled her into the house. They were the only ones in there. She was stabbed through the neck and he made up the story that she fell on the knife pretty obvious that isn’t true.
@@priontex4439. He also has a history of murdering his father. 2 shots. Chest and head.
He is guilty and will be found guilty!
Did you all hear the tapes of his mom and the grandmother testimony? Horrible family. So much violence. She tortured him for gosh sakes.
This defence attorney tries very hard 2 conceal the nasty, passive/aggressive side of her own personality & just fails miserably with that! 🤦♀️🙄
Clearly guilty.
I can’t believe only 1 prosecuter
Right? I’ve never seen it. Such a lot of work for one person 😩
It could be that nobody else wanted to take on the case. Ethical prosecutors will turn a case down if it looks like they can't meet their burden of proof. Unethical prosecutors, like Thomas Clair Binger and the one in this trial, will leap on high-profile cases in the hope that it will raise their profile. It's a strategy that backfired badly for Binger, but this guy will probably get through it unscathed.
@@Rebecca-4U yeah, not really fair, One gets two lawyers the deceased gets one
@ I’m pretty sure you get assigned and not always have a say. EX: when the Idaho for change locations and change judges, the first thing he said was make it very clear he does not want to be there but had no choice???
What's really interesting, is I understand that a jury will spend a fair amount of time deliberating, but based on the evidence, you would think a guilty verdict would be given relatively quickly. Instead with the long deliberation can see a case go the other way.
It’s going to take a long time. You have moms in there, grandmas in there. People who will take all the defenses evidence but none of the states evidence. They will go back and forth about his age, possible self defense but I truly hope a juror says “Hey… Where is Collin’s dad? (I hope they can put it together) 🤞🏽
I think they might be hung up on the premeditation
@ sadly, yes
Cant wait for a guilty verdict.hes far too dangerous to be free only hope they dont go for the lowest charge.
You're going to be waiting for a very long time. Possibly forever.
@priontex4439 he's definitely 1000% guilty, but the devil is at work in this trial even the judge wouldn't allow the prosecution to say anything bad about the little psychopath... what son beats his mom stampes on her head then unalive her a week later.. he will get his comeuppance no doubt about it what ever that is.
@@Gabriel-hf1yy The judge was simply following the law, as he was supposed to. The jury will follow the law too, as given in the jury instructions, and Collin will be acquitted. And then the salt will flow from those who wanted to see him punished for exercising his legal right to self-defense, and it will be glorious 😁
@priontex4439 😂😂😂😂
@ Lol. He was just acquitted. Are those tears of joy or sadness?
Murderer, got away with it once don't let him get away with it again. Off to prison.
There fault for being bad parents
@@travishylton6976 come on if you had bad parents, would you murder them?😂
@travishylton6976 have you ever done anything imperfectly?
@@margaretlumley1648 I hope you have at least as much compassion for Collin as you do for his parents. Frankly, you should probably have more, since Collin was the trapped child in this situation, while his parents were independent adults.
What is taking the jury so long to find him guilty.
The fact he’s innocent
Wait, what? @@Here4it247
Because they found him innocent…
@Chrissy_h huge mistake
How he's innocent??? @@Here4it247
Guilty 100%
wrong 100%
FL - vs - Griffith ...I can not believe this a Not Guilty verdict. The murder of the father should not have been whitheld. He is a brat who didnt want to follow what his mother wanted him to do. This is not the end of him. He will be back, hopefully not shooting up a school or store with your loved ones killed.
Can’t believe prosecutor didn’t push for jury to be read back what the 2 neighbours of grandma testified about Colin grabbing Mom by hair and pulling her in the house where he stabbed her clear through her neck.
I hate to say it but this prosecutor hasn’t impressed me much. But I still hope the jury can see that the defendant is a psychopath and put him away for life.
Wow...they must have hold outs for verdict
The female lawyer looks wicked ❗️
She's a defence atty. Goes with the territory
It's crazy how many people in the comment section are legitimately defending an abuser of children
Everyone should watch the sheriff Grady Judd press conference when this monster was arrested for his mothers killing. He brought up that he killed his father a year before!
in 2023, Collin was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his father. Collin told investigators in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, that his father pulled a knife on him, so he shot him in self-defense.
Prosecutors dropped the charges less than a month later because they “could not disprove Collin’s assertion of self-defense.”
Supposedly the dad had a knife so the monster shot him twice!
Then he moved to his moms home and she tried to make up for lost time by SPOILING him with trips including cruises, and a brand new vehicle fir his graduation! I was scrolling through her instagram yesterday and they both looked so happy!
Wow!!! Now he can go and kill Grandma, this is what happened when you don't tell the jury the whole story, killed father and mother and got away with murder... Rest in peace 🕊️🕊️
Yes. I await with bated breath 😢
This young man seems dangerous he killed his dad now his mum, who will be next
His grandma 😔
@@BSmeterAussiechickyes!! And his aunt!
The prosecutor did too much in his closing....and it was too long imo.
What the heck is taking so long this kid is a m---..guilty guilty!!
How has the defence not "opened the door" with all of this Oklahoma talk? He wasn't charged despite admitting the shooting because they don't believe his self-defense story and want more evidence to charge murder, not because he didn't do the crime.
he did it
I think the defense’s close is much more “reasonable”. She came to/at him. She’s a loose cannon. She has icier up the knife to say “ you’re coming home”. They struggled, lost control and killed her. The State didnt prove to me that he pre meditated, and when she conveniently arrived, he could kill her.
I thought they weren’t going to say anything about his previous murder. 🤔
he could bring it to the table but couldn’t name who the victim was. I thought the same thing at first but they changed it.
Do we have a verdict?
So the whole time the screen was over the witness stand and they could have showed us the evidence 🙄
It is very, even extremely difficult for parents, family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, etc to even have to or dare to confess the offspring, their own fruits! Period!
Why can’t everything be introduced into evidence. I just don’t understand!!
cuz he wasnt convicted in his fathers murder. They cant bring up stuff someone may have done when its not the charge they are facing. Its unduly prejudicial.
Oh grand father is next, he testified against his grandson, grandfather stay woke, stay mindful, he's coming for you next...
I’m guilty on murder but I don’t think they proved kidnapping.
The defense attorney closing is terrible!
Terrible? I think you meant to say "powerful and highly effective."
And how he didn’t push on letting the jury hear the two neighbour ladies testimonies about how they saw Collin grabbing his mother by the hair and pulling her in the house
And how he didn’t push on letting the jury hear the two neighbour ladies testimonies about how they saw Collin grabbing his mother by the hair and pulling her in the house. And not fair that one side had two lawyers, the other only one, two heads are better than one
@priontex Why you running round on everyone’s post? Are you grandma Susan? You hack!
@@LucasStevens-uj1uj Are you complaining about people leaving loads of comments defending the mother, or is it just people who think Collin is innocent that you have a problem with?
Did we get a verdict?
Yes. I am from the future. I've come back to tell you that the verdict is Not Guilty on all charges. Collin is free to go and live his young life to the fullest 🎉🥳🎉
The jury will recommence their deliberations at 8.30am
@@BSmeterAussiechick what time is it here in Australia 🇦🇺?
@@Ketzaleh
9.30pm WA time 😊
It’s ok he will find out tomorrow that evil killed his dad got away and trying to do the same thing here evil
So his abusive dad was not evil
@@travishylton6976You defend him a lot. Go visit him in jail, if he goes there which I hope he does.
@@travishylton6976 They are looking at reopening the case that they didn’t bother having when they thought it was self-defense! The murder of his mother that he claimed was self-defense as well has made them realize this may be just a little psychopath wanting to murder people,
That, of course, was not allowed to come into this hearing either because he was under age and the poor little boy to be protected from the law! Who’s gonna protect society if he’s let loose on us all. Do you want him to come live with you?
I think his parents were abusive and he killed his parents his abusers. I don’t think he will go after anyone else. There was a reason he didn’t want to live with his mom.
But where was this proof of abuse? everything weve seen showed he was spoiled. All the times he was in the hospital he never said more than “i’ll kill my mom if you let me go” he didnt say “well cuz shes abusive “.
no justice for all
shame on this justice system
What the heck is taking so long she got murdered its simple i hope they dont come back with a hung jurry my gosh
It's looking like they will, sadly. From watching lots of court cases, guilty verdicts don't seem to take too long. I think Jurors will be worried about whether his Mom attacked him first 😢
If your thinking about killing someone one day, think about the victims families and how it’s gonna affect them
He was videoed killing her wasn’t he? How can that not be murder?
Did he go to trial for dad’s murder yet?
This boy is laughing at the nonsense called justice. Not one tear over what he did. I am so angry at the jury. How do you trivialise what he did to his parents
What has this judicial come to. This jury actually found this murderer innocent. How pathetic are they. They better hope he never comes around where they live,better sleep with one eye opened from now on..
Correct Verdict . Stop getting emotional. Don't use consensus to figure out what the right verdict is. Use the actual law. The L-A-W
I think the jury will take a while
Is the jury deliberating
Yes
The HYPOCRISY is REAL with this Defense Attorney! She can go into GREAT detail about Kathy’s past behavior and how she treated people and “attempted” to hurt other people, but she hasn’t actually killed someone in the past like the defendant has done and now make that Two! It blows my mind how ALL the nasty little details about what Kathy has done is all the defense attorney has talked about throughout this trial and the defense attorney even says that’s what the jury gets to know in order to help make their decision. However, when it comes to the defendant’s past, the jury doesn’t get to take into consideration that he has killed his father already? Also, I don’t get how that was supposed to be self-defense when he literally shot his father in the chest and the BACK of the head, which means the father must have had his BACK towards the defendant, so how’s that self-defense?!? This whole situation is terrible, I just pray 🙏 the jury gets it right, but I doubt they will!
Again, I have to say, it’s SO WRONG that the judge ruled evidently, to keep out one of the most powerful facts of this case and that is that the defendant murdered his own father and now is charged with the murder of his OWN mother!
😡
Believe me,I think he is very very screwed up by being raised by two violent abusers. And he will most likely to commit violence in the future- but the prosecuted did not prove with evidence, that this wasn’t self defense. Horrible situation. He belongs in a therapeutic setting. But you can’t go against the law and rules of verdict.
Was he REALLY found not guilty??? 🤬
Bus case?
🤔 im curious to know what happened to his father as well
He killed him and said it was self defense
Yep pretty much same crap he's trying to pull here. Killed both parents!! This kid is evil and should never be out!
he shot the father
He said he shot him in self defense. 🤦
@Whatintheworld2020 where did you see that?? I've been trying to find that
When did he shoot his father? Was it a separate trial?
it happened a year or so ago. he wasn't charged. they believed it was self defense at the time. I think I read they are going to reopen the case now.
He claimed self defence with his father and got away with it
The Prosecutor is SO WEAK!! I wish there would have been a MUCH stronger prosecutor or prosecution team! This guy was terrible, as was his opening statement/closing argument and because of him NOT being a strong prosecutor, I don’t believe the outcome will be favorable.
Do yall think We will get A verdict today?
Can't find the bus case help
Did the jury stop?
Yes for the day.
they stopped using their brains thats for sure. But its florida. where they burn books and dismantle education. Desantis wrecked the state.
I wonder if he will be charged w his dad’s murder? Maybe if this one is guilty but what if not? I mean they know he killed before.
I find it ironic that the defense attorney talks about what happens when people don’t suffer from the consequences of their actions…..they do it all over again!
As I said, isn’t it ironic that the defense attorney makes this statement as her client sits at the defense table once again for killing a parent perhaps because he didn’t suffer ANY CONSEQUENCES when he killed his father about year before the mother.
Timestamp ( 1:31:09 ) Irony 🤔
Cry more. I'm glad you're defending an abuser
Also, self-defense is determined by the perspective of the one committing the act of killing. Weather in self-defense or not is determined by the objective and subjective perception of the person committing the violence.
So what Colin endured is DIRECTLY RELEVANT... to whether he's guilty or not. This has been the law of the land for like a billion years
2-0 Hes a undefeated Killer
And the mom FAFO
Wow, how often does the defence reiterate "reasonable interpretations" 🤦♀️ 🙄 & saying "right" like her right is fact, lol & the pretend marching 😁😆😂🤣🤣 she's just embarrassing herself 🍿
Yes, the attorney saying “right” constantly gets on my nerves too.. ughh 😒
@shannon.fields
This is how it went done bc of this n that, like she was a 👀 witnese at the scene, lol ... she does do my head in a little, but she's also hilarious 😂🤣
it worked 🤷🏻♀️
Innocent, Mother purely insane and dangerous. Self defense
No evidence she had a weapon or was using a weapon at the time of death. She was the one with bruises on her. Not him
So this is self-defense! Will you be taking him to live with you if he is found not guilty. Give me a break, this little monster needs to go to prison for life.
How dare you slander a murder victim like that? of course she had her problems, no mother is absolutely perfect but Kathy Griffith actually tried to make up for lost time with her son. He paid her with death on that cold kitchen floor. I wish she was selfish enough to say screw collin,
I am 39 and I will just continue to live my life, but she was not selfish, her son that she sacrificed herself for was ultimately the selfish one.
One of the most selfish brats I have ever heard of. He was 17 could not get out of his room and clean, did not want to mount a bookshelf, his clothes? she would clean them herself. He did absolutely nothing to help his mom not even once and you call her insane? That is an insane analysis. They were barely together for a long time, not too long!
It’s still illegal to tell everyone you’re going to kill an insane person and then kill an insane person. And killing another insane person the year before doesn’t help your case either.
He killed his father then his mother. And said that he wanted to slit her throat! You are ok with this lunatic back out in public? So when he gets upset or doesn't get his own way, he can commit murder a third time? Unbelievable. I sure hope nobody like yourself is on that jury!
It’s unfortunate for any child or adolescent to be raised in a crazy, abusive household. They are dependant on their caregivers and have no escape in too many circumstances. Just hearing his mother speak brought chills. Rehabilitate him.
Rehabilitate someone that has murdered both his mother and father??!! You’re kidding right? He’s a psychopath and will kill again if given the chance. He should be locked away from society the rest of his life.
He knew right from wrong because he lied and said she fell on the knife. You don’t lie to get yourself out of trouble if you don’t know you’ve done wrong.
@@sjs-stev
💯🎯🎯 This!
😮rehabilitate him????? He is far beyond rehabilitation. Dont matter if he is a kid or not. he clearly knew what he was doing the first time and now the second time. Mental problems? Yeah maybe just a bit but he clearly knows what the heck he wanted and what he was doing. The reason for him always saying I’m gonna defend myself. I’m gonna defend myself etc. So that when he in fact killed his mother like he did his father, it would be like an “I told you so” and I warned you.
@@hr9086 both parents had severe mental issues, drug and vicious anger problems. The mother should have relinquished custody to the authorities or at very least, left him with the grandmother, but instead she chose to traumatize him even more by fighting with her own mother and going there in a rage to get him by force. She was a walking bomb! All 3 of them were in dire need of rehabilitation!
