@@BellaLeoLicorice I had the feeling he must have been paid very good to sit up there and blow his reputation as a Dr all to H!!! His "God complex" got taken down on that stand!! Poor fool...
How disgusting - too lazy to update his CV and pots in it that he treated Elvis when he didn't. People like him shouldn't be allowed to be paid a fortune by defence lawyers to spout a load of bs in murder trials,
But we are all entitled to an expert if we commit a heinous act, (however, murder is one that most of us humans will never do) but especially if it’s an outlandish, highly improbable event, one that our peers will scarcely believe, than an expert like that Doctor is required. I found him likable and credible, and he is supposed to suspend all disbelief and suspicion: which, imo, he did! He must remain unbiased and present a plausible story..
Too many inconsistencies and he can’t remember a lot that happened. Just because he didn’t beat her before doesn’t mean he didn’t do it this time. It only takes one time to kill😱 GUILTY H e shakes his head no a lot as if that helps him be innocent.
He timed his breaks to match hers and called her during every break. Never apart except when at work. Leaving a guys' camping trip each night to "check on her". If he weeded the lawn she would weed by his side. This sounds suffocating. Poor lady.
@@j.goebbels2134 they weren't high school sweet hearts. She had a boyfriend for 3 years after they met. She was 16 at that time. He reportedly heard the boyfriend cheated on her. I'm sure he told her this. He manipulated her from the beginning
She grabbed that steering wheel, and they ended up stuck, they were fighting inside the car bad enough for her to try & get out of the car. But he grabbed her out of that car & pulverized her head. He was not going to allow her to get away.
I bet some of this is true. They were fighting he pulled on to the side road she grabs the wheel he hits the break, she tries to put the car in reverse somehow trying to stop the car to get out & run. The car backs up, he gets out, she's scared can't get the seat belt off or is just getting it off & he drags her out of the car, they fall, she starts to get away, he gets hold of her & brutally beats her...
The pre~era! Dear Dr. Just answer the question! Where’s the up~to~date Doctor, poor show!.......He’s obviously retired, omg he’s seriously driving me crazy!
I'm wondering why the defense would ask him about Elvis on his CV, when it turns out that it is a lie. What a stupid thing to do, discrediting your own witness like that.

I don't love this douchebag, but nine jobs between HS and age 46 is not a lot. Most people change jobs many times, for various reasons -- usually because they just don't like the job or because they find one that pays more. Also, this guy returned to the same job several times, which doesn't really count as a "new" job, and in fact, actually speaks to his having been a good worker. I have returned to work at a couple of my old jobs. It's nice to return to a familiar place and to familiar people who know and value me. I am considering moving back to the town where I own a home (I'm renting the house to a friend now), and I know that I will have a job waiting there for me if I want it. Btw, I'm a bilingual speech therapist, so I could work pretty much anywhere. I just like the place where I used to work.

Right he was a fn weird man child this id what 18 year olds do. Im sure barb was sick of it. And then the one day she looks forward to to go camping he tells her morning of i cant call out. Why because this bum has too many call outs. Like what a fn child. I feel so sorry for her.
First you would not have had time to react. You would simply cringe and grab the wheel even more tightly! Nobody would ever try to stop something travelling towards you at 90 miles an hour, for God's sake! Every driver who has been in a bind in the past knows this. There is simply no time to think and your instinct is to cringe and eventually brace.
Ha, the visual you provide even makes it more preposterous ,, about the only thing I do in cars when an unexpected event is eminent, is block/protect my passenger..right arm (in the USA driving in left seat) extends without thinking to shield /support/ brace passenger..
This case is so interesting - maybe all the non-fighting, he just blew. Just snapped... but I think that day, he just lost it. Poor Barb - it must have been so incredibly shocking.
The prosecutor is awesome he sure did his homework. He made sure the doctor stated he was not qualified in blood spatter windsheilds and he has never been called as an expert witness in a crimnal case.. Did he (the husband) say he peed sitting down bc his wife didnt like guys that stood up and peed? For hygiene reasons? WTF? Why bring that up...
My guess is he's trying to come across as the loving husband who does anything for his wife. 90% of this direct examination is centered around him trying to come across as a good hard working and loving person who would never do what he is being accused of doing. Too bad for him the evidence proves he's a wife murdering piece of crap.
Cuz men with small penis's end up getting urine on the floor, toliet seat etc due to its shortness. I have a gay friend and that's why he says some men have to sit down and urinate 😁 Short men ain't got no penis 🎶🎵.
This poor woman never had a bit of breathing room. Constantly calling her and never did I hear about being her alone with friends. By the sound of it she had to stick with him all of her time other than when she was at work and he even called her there. The way she was found after the 911 call was terrifying, positively beatened to death, she likely said no for the first time!
I don't understand SteVen's view on the jaw bruise. My ex husband punched me in the face, it bruised the whole left side of my face, to my ear and down onto the neck. I don't see how he can say a punch to the jaw wont go down and around.
Because the bruise is the same width down and under her jaw line. That doesn't look like someone punched her there. If someone punched her you'd think it would be thicker around, but it looks like a long thumb width mark. It almost looks like the same bruise that my nephew had from tubes being taped and ran to his mouth and nose.
Mann this is infuriating... They're trying to make this guy sound like he lived the most perfect hallmark movie life. And his S T U P I D little "naive" voice...ughhh this guy is a disgusting person and he knows it. His little innocent face and his "umm...umm...umm" trying to make himself look like a perfect little angel smh... Lock him up and destroy the key!!
Isnt he sick so noticeable Watch when defence started putting up pictures of barb he looks at jury to make sure they was looking at him he puts on a big act
While Todd's story had the odd coincidence of having a windsheild broken on the way to fix a windsheild, I just realized another unlikely coicidence and that is checking on the neighbours house because previously a broken window caused "pipes" to burst. hmmmm, its almost like he made it up based on real objects that would have become part of his conscience that day. Like maybe he went there to pick up the pipe. They were just minutes from home and barb had that big mug full of water, maybe ice, there should have been an obvious amount of spilled water in the car but I never see any. I think this detail could have been mentioned but can understand how it would have been looked over.
Can't claim to know what happened, but my wife and I have been married for over 40 loving years. However, we've never ever considered "squeegeeing the garage floor together". Can't imagine being so crushingly close to another person. It would drive both of us nuts. Poor Barb and Todd ... how did they make it through 26 years together like that?
I’m here because I’m an ardent Zellner fan. I have to say, watching this defendant I’m doubting her decision to represent him. He seems VERY guilty unlike all her other clients.
That is disappointing to hear. She does tell her potential clients that if they want her to represent them, they better be sure they're not guilty because she'll find out. If she is true to her word she'll find him just as guilty as everyone else and drop him. That would actually be pretty satisfying.
I’m an ER dr too, and what he’s testifying to regarding reaction to a rock coming toward a window is not within his realm of expertise. He’s guessing and speculating. The defense attorney who should have been objecting all over the place is useless. That coffee cup is too big to fit under the chin to break any neck structures, and the only way the hyoid bone gets broken because of its location, is by strangulation.
He snapped like a pee. He had controlled everything. He was losing control especially of his manipulation of barb. The more she tried to detach the more aggressive he got..imho...just my take on it. She was his possession.
Todd liked praise , lots & lots of praise. Todd had control issues . Something was happening at work & with this annual camping trip. Maybe controlling Todd couldn’t go because of work. Controlling Todd wouldn’t want Barb to go but Barb ALWAYS goes to this event. She looks forward to it My guess is, something already had Todd worked up , but he manages to control himself( somewhat) in most settings. He didn’t have to control himself with Barb, his wife of 20+ years. She could have been upset with him or trying to appease him. Did not matter. He was on the edge & anything she did was going to result with Todd exploding. As sad as it is, even Barb’s mom supported Todd & their kids . What else can she do since her only other support was now dead. If the kids support dad , that sends a message to everyone else. Sad , sick situation.
That’s has confused me from the beginning. If a truck is in front of you and a pole flies off of the truck it could come through your window-but one coming toward you ? I can’t see that happening!
@@annimclaughlin7520 I agree with you, that's been boggling my mind from the start. I'm sure many of us have driving been behind vehicles and had to brake to avoid bits of some idiot's load flying off, but I've never heard of of a vehicle being hit by something coming off an oncoming vehicle and I don't see how it's possible.
This todd couldn't even shovel snow without Barb being at his side. He was useless without her. Good thing he's going to prison, maybe he'll find a wife there, of course, one he couldn't push around like he did Barb
I bet Barb caught him talking to someone else online and she was going to leave him and tell everyone and he didn’t want everyone knowing his secrets. I think he got rid of his electronics that he was using to communicate so that it couldn’t be discovered.
I love how the Judge was looking at Sledgehammer!! You can see it in his facial expression,he doesn’t believe this $ hit. Keep showing off your ring to the jury,didn’t work. Maybe one day,you’ll tell the truth and face God!!
Maybe she was OCD and he got tired of it. Trying to.figure out why he killed her. My mom and dad were married 67 years before my dad died and they were together every day except while they were at work but I don't remember their relationship seeming weird like this one seemed. My mom and dad ADORED each other and wanted to do everything together but they never seemed weird about it like this couple. And he let barb help him flip houses but he didn't want women involved in his business. I'm confused.
How did Barb listen to that voice for 25 years?
Beyond me, couldn't stand going through his line of he was the checker. Ugh! He does however seem to be relishing the attention on the stand. He thinks he's going to sweet talk the jury....🙄

But I'm guessing since you're all over the comments saying the same things over and over, even after having it explained for you, that you have some ulterior motive.
@@awright119021 I mean between the time of her injuries and the police arriving.
More embarrassed by his friends and kids for making a clown of himself on the stand for the world to see and hear.
At least that ER doc was animated; all that was missing was performing one of his tracks.
Boy can’t wait to hear the cross on this one.
I’m stealing the “we couldn’t afford the PH.” Because I always have to specify Stevens with a V as well 🤣
She must have been smothered by this man in more ways than one. Goes hunting and goes home to check on her. The poor lady.
Could be. But then the prosecutor would have brought that too light, which he did not.

The cross of ER Doc had me certainly putting my buttock muscles through a workout squirming in my seat😳 cringeworthy! Bet poor Steven with a V, coz they couldn’t afford a PH, wishes he took a pass on this gig. The prosecutor as cool as a cucumber had him on the ropes, floundering, and tore him to shreds without breaking a sweat.
He realizes he sunk to a new low, one that surprises even himself doing what he does. 😒
You level personal attacks when you cannot refute?
I'm sure he was happy with the money he sold his soul to the devil for.
@@BellaLeoLicorice
I had the feeling he must have been paid very good to sit up there and blow his reputation as a Dr all to H!!! His "God complex" got taken down on that stand!! Poor fool...
@@FLo-jc7ig So true. Not even sure why he was chosen when he was obviously not the right choice.
This “dr” is a piece of work!
He must have negotiated a great price 💰💰💰
How disgusting - too lazy to update his CV and pots in it that he treated Elvis when he didn't. People like him shouldn't be allowed to be paid a fortune by defence lawyers to spout a load of bs in murder trials,
But we are all entitled to an expert if we commit a heinous act, (however, murder is one that most of us humans will never do) but especially if it’s an outlandish, highly improbable event, one that our peers will scarcely believe, than an expert like that Doctor is required. I found him likable and credible, and he is supposed to suspend all disbelief and suspicion: which, imo, he did! He must remain unbiased and present a plausible story..
He might have asked Todd if he was going to tell the jury he didn’t pull her out by her legs ? Idiot
@@slwtgf- he is a doofus
That picture was taken on Barb's birthday in 1989 sniffle sniffle 3 months ago I can't Recall Flick👅 Flick 👅
lol
Too many inconsistencies and he can’t remember a lot that happened. Just because he didn’t beat her before doesn’t mean he didn’t do it this time. It only takes one time to kill😱 GUILTY H e shakes his head no a lot as if that helps him be innocent.
"You can't beat or strangle somebody in a car, its not possible"
I beg to differ mr.hired gun and pretty sure Rhianna would also 🤷♀️
This doctor has no business on the stand gives us all in EMS and Emergency Medicine a bad name
What a mousy little man.
He timed his breaks to match hers and called her during every break. Never apart except when at work. Leaving a guys' camping trip each night to "check on her". If he weeded the lawn she would weed by his side. This sounds suffocating. Poor lady.
Did u think that maybe she was the same way? My husband and I do everything together. We are best friends.
They were high school sweethearts and never observed to even argue. Not once.
@@j.goebbels2134 they weren't high school sweet hearts. She had a boyfriend for 3 years after they met. She was 16 at that time. He reportedly heard the boyfriend cheated on her. I'm sure he told her this. He manipulated her from the beginning
@@tracievendetta1908 Nah your facts are wrong. But it is up to you learn learn and tell the truth.
She grabbed that steering wheel, and they ended up stuck, they were fighting inside the car bad enough for her to try & get out of the car. But he grabbed her out of that car & pulverized her head. He was not going to allow her to get away.
I bet some of this is true. They were fighting he pulled on to the side road she grabs the wheel he hits the break, she tries to put the car in reverse somehow trying to stop the car to get out & run. The car backs up, he gets out, she's scared can't get the seat belt off or is just getting it off & he drags her out of the car, they fall, she starts to get away, he gets hold of her & brutally beats her...
State should have hired you lol that’s a better story than theirs
@@ginger7344 😂
The pre~era! Dear Dr. Just answer the question! Where’s the up~to~date Doctor, poor show!.......He’s obviously retired, omg he’s seriously driving me crazy!
This witness is cracking me up. I think the defense wasted their money on this expert!
Dani B Couldn’t afford a PH???
Yes, I thoroughly agree!
I was embarrassed for him. He should never have given testimony. I thought at least maybe he was the physician that treated Barbara in ER but nope.
Prosecutor has this Dr. All flubbed up. Dr. has forgotten which way is UP !
That's a sign of drug use when you constantly flick your tongue.
I'm wondering why the defense would ask him about Elvis on his CV, when it turns out that it is a lie. What a stupid thing to do, discrediting your own witness like that.
C McA Right?!
They expose things like that if they think the other side is going to use it against the witness
C McA 😂 that’s another thing that’s to good to be true. Just like Mr K!
Yeah that was very weird!
The man has had NINE, count them , 9 JOBS🚩 since graduating high school , while having a family👨👩👧👦
Never his fault 🚩🚩when he was fired .
Todd complained about his boss having an affair so he was fired🙄
Todd didn’t like having 4 bosses 🚩
Todd didn’t like the hours at UPS 🚩

In one police interview, while talking about life insurance policies, Todd said they took a bigger policy out on him because HE was THE MONEY MAN🚩Was he ? 🤷🏻♀️
I don't love this douchebag, but nine jobs between HS and age 46 is not a lot. Most people change jobs many times, for various reasons -- usually because they just don't like the job or because they find one that pays more. Also, this guy returned to the same job several times, which doesn't really count as a "new" job, and in fact, actually speaks to his having been a good worker. I have returned to work at a couple of my old jobs. It's nice to return to a familiar place and to familiar people who know and value me. I am considering moving back to the town where I own a home (I'm renting the house to a friend now), and I know that I will have a job waiting there for me if I want it. Btw, I'm a bilingual speech therapist, so I could work pretty much anywhere. I just like the place where I used to work.

Right he was a fn weird man child this id what 18 year olds do. Im sure barb was sick of it. And then the one day she looks forward to to go camping he tells her morning of i cant call out. Why because this bum has too many call outs. Like what a fn child. I feel so sorry for her.
I have had birds hit my windshield, my first instinct has NEVER been to let go of the wheel and hit the windshield with both fists.
What(?).....you didn't try to grab them 🐦🦅🤣
And NEVER with your opposite hand!
@@annimclaughlin7520 unless you're a lefty 😉
First you would not have had time to react. You would simply cringe and grab the wheel even more tightly! Nobody would ever try to stop something travelling towards you at 90 miles an hour, for God's sake! Every driver who has been in a bind in the past knows this. There is simply no time to think and your instinct is to cringe and eventually brace.
Ha, the visual you provide even makes it more preposterous ,, about the only thing I do in cars when an unexpected event is eminent, is block/protect my passenger..right arm (in the USA driving in left seat) extends without thinking to shield /support/ brace passenger..
This prosecutor did an awesome job. I could listen to him all day. He was the best prosecutor for this case.
its funny how this guy can remember things and not remember others, he has a way of remembering that is highly suspicious
Jodi Arias vibes
His family seems to think he’s great, he had them fooled for years with his “golly gee I don’t know” act, thought it would work in court
Last I heard, Dr. Steven with a V is teaching theatre at a University of Retired Bored Guys and he's doing fairly well!! 🙄
A colorblind ER physician? Seems like that could cause issues .
I thought the same thing
Lacey Fox I thought the same thing! 🤦♀️
This case is so interesting - maybe all the non-fighting, he just blew. Just snapped... but I think that day, he just lost it. Poor Barb - it must have been so incredibly shocking.
Guess this expert didn't hear of Chris Brown & Rihanna
This doctor cook is just full of it, I just know the judge is extremely aggravated with his rambling on, and of his exaggerations!
Doesn’t he have a reality show about little people?
Poor Barb is finally free. Too bad the kids support the killer dad.
Omg!!!! He does remind me of him!!!!!
Todd sounds like an accent-less Joe Pesci
This doctor's facial expressions when listening to the prosecutor, are hilarious
prosecution made that Dr look like a fool
That “doctor,” made himself look like a fool!..🇨🇦
@@midnightrun2764 cool 🇺🇸
The prosecutor is awesome he sure did his homework. He made sure the doctor stated he was not qualified in blood spatter windsheilds and he has never been called as an expert witness in a crimnal case.. Did he (the husband) say he peed sitting down bc his wife didnt like guys that stood up and peed? For hygiene reasons? WTF? Why bring that up...
My guess is he's trying to come across as the loving husband who does anything for his wife. 90% of this direct examination is centered around him trying to come across as a good hard working and loving person who would never do what he is being accused of doing. Too bad for him the evidence proves he's a wife murdering piece of crap.
Cuz men with small penis's end up getting urine on the floor, toliet seat etc due to its shortness. I have a gay friend and that's why he says some men have to sit down and urinate 😁
Short men ain't got no

I my word! This is hillarious!
@@llisamichele ..lol. haha.
Wonderful defence lawyer, embarass yourself and your client some more, "25 years you sat down to pee" a whole 25 years wow!!
Well I bet he’s glad he did that for 25 years because he definitely will want to pee sitting down so Bubba doesn’t sneak up on him in jail!
Mr funny resume is a liar. I guess his testimony explained the claw Mark's on Todd's neck and her neck.
Nothing he says sounds like a normal couple. He is the biggest control freak I've ever heard of. The poor woman couldn't breathe
You only saw one rage beating.....hmm. interesting. He says you can't strangle in car...um ok many documentaries say otherwise. Wow he's inadequate.
Dr. Cook isn’t a very good liar.
"Steven with a "V" we couldn't afford a ph" you're going to pull that out in a trial?
Dr Cook sure "cooks" up a story here!
This poor woman never had a bit of breathing room. Constantly calling her and never did I hear about being her alone with friends. By the sound of it she had to stick with him all of her time other than when she was at work and he even called her there. The way she was found after the 911 call was terrifying, positively beatened to death, she likely said no for the first time!
I do agree..so tragic...
He's no professional. He hasnt had enough experience to vouch for what has happened
I couldn’t handle that voice or look at that face for 25 years!!! I can’t see how anyone would want to marry him.
Barb’s fingernail scratches on his chest that he has no idea of where they came from tell the whole sad truth.
Yes ma'am
I don't understand SteVen's view on the jaw bruise. My ex husband punched me in the face, it bruised the whole left side of my face, to my ear and down onto the neck. I don't see how he can say a punch to the jaw wont go down and around.
@LaFleur Thank you. Me too. Been away from that for almost 20 years.
Because the bruise is the same width down and under her jaw line. That doesn't look like someone punched her there. If someone punched her you'd think it would be thicker around, but it looks like a long thumb width mark. It almost looks like the same bruise that my nephew had from tubes being taped and ran to his mouth and nose.
Baby, I never punched you. It was a pipe that went through the windshield
@@0its0not0mine 😂
Dr with no PH. Rememorable is not a word
LOL
IV never seen a defence expert the doctor go down so fast under the facts of reality
Dr. Koch - Steven Cook
Don’t know why, but I think Barbs mothers money might have been a factor. If he got kicked out he would loose a lot.
Can't wait for the boys in the pen to welcome mr. Meak!😁
He is gonna love prison......bcz I am sure TK is gay.
Mann this is infuriating... They're trying to make this guy sound like he lived the most perfect hallmark movie life. And his S T U P I D little "naive" voice...ughhh this guy is a disgusting person and he knows it. His little innocent face and his "umm...umm...umm" trying to make himself look like a perfect little angel smh... Lock him up and destroy the key!!
Iv watched his testimony a few times. One thing that pops every time is around 1:45:00 min in he is flashing his wedding ring to the jury
Isnt he sick so noticeable Watch when defence started putting up pictures of barb he looks at jury to make sure they was looking at him he puts on a big act
This 💩 stain played to the jury. Kept looking at the jury and flicking that snake tongue all the time. Just eww!
While Todd's story had the odd coincidence of having a windsheild broken on the way to fix a windsheild, I just realized another unlikely coicidence and that is checking on the neighbours house because previously a broken window caused "pipes" to burst. hmmmm, its almost like he made it up based on real objects that would have become part of his conscience that day. Like maybe he went there to pick up the pipe.
They were just minutes from home and barb had that big mug full of water, maybe ice, there should have been an obvious amount of spilled water in the car but I never see any. I think this detail could have been mentioned but can understand how it would have been looked over.
They wasted their money with the doctor 😩
Flashing that wedding ring
Right?🤦♀️🤦♀️ So awkward. I'm sure all the blood is cleaned off by now.
Can't claim to know what happened, but my wife and I have been married for over 40 loving years. However, we've never ever considered "squeegeeing the garage floor together". Can't imagine being so crushingly close to another person. It would drive both of us nuts. Poor Barb and Todd ... how did they make it through 26 years together like that?
Sadly, they didn't make 27.
I’m here because I’m an ardent Zellner fan. I have to say, watching this defendant I’m doubting her decision to represent him. He seems VERY guilty unlike all her other clients.
That is disappointing to hear.
She does tell her potential clients that if they want her to represent them, they better be sure they're not guilty because she'll find out.
If she is true to her word she'll find him just as guilty as everyone else and drop him.
That would actually be pretty satisfying.
Why don't you ask him why wernt you worried about making barb late for work?
Oh the prosecutor does and he pauses and says "I don't know." :/
This Dr Cook is a joke, total embaressment
Wonder why his brother, that's a doctor and was asked first to testify, decided not to. Definitely smarter than this guy 😄
He was a jack of all trades, master of none of them
He has so many nervous ticks he does when he's lying. It's clear.
I’m an ER dr too, and what he’s testifying to regarding reaction to a rock coming toward a window is not within his realm of expertise. He’s guessing and speculating. The defense attorney who should have been objecting all over the place is useless. That coffee cup is too big to fit under the chin to break any neck structures, and the only way the hyoid bone gets broken because of its location, is by strangulation.
You mean the Prosecution
The dud doctor saying seatbelts only lock if you use your brakes 🙈
Yeah, apparently he's never tried to lean forward to pick up something off a vehicle floor and found the seatbelt locking itself against him.
Omg look at the doctor's change of demenia once the prosicuter starts and his face is red and voice cracking lol
I just still don’t understand what his reason was for murdering his wife of 25 years 😞😞
He snapped like a pee. He had controlled everything. He was losing control especially of his manipulation of barb. The more she tried to detach the more aggressive he got..imho...just my take on it. She was his possession.
Todd liked praise , lots & lots of praise.
Todd had control issues .
Something was happening at work & with this annual camping trip.
Maybe controlling Todd couldn’t go because of work.
Controlling Todd wouldn’t want Barb to go but Barb ALWAYS goes to this event. She looks forward to it
My guess is, something already had Todd worked up , but he manages to control himself( somewhat) in most settings.
He didn’t have to control himself with Barb, his wife of 20+ years.
She could have been upset with him or trying to appease him. Did not matter. He was on the edge & anything she did was going to result with Todd exploding.
As sad as it is, even Barb’s mom supported Todd & their kids . What else can she do since her only other support was now dead.
If the kids support dad , that sends a message to everyone else.
Sad , sick situation.
I really have a feeling he was taking some sort of amphetamines, the weight loss, etc. He seems very emotional and these guys seem to snap a lot.
Brattysauce EH
That makes a lot os sense. You’re probably right.
@@spiritwalker9903 Im not sure he controlled anything. I think she was the controller. Her water, her water cup, sitting to pee etc.
An expert lies on his cv and laughs about it in the middle of a murder trial…obviously a paid liar. How dare he.
How much did they pay this guy? How about all the other injuries?
Sorry if I sound stupid, as I've not really watched all the videos on this case, but did they find the lorry that this pole fell off ?
No, there was never a lorry in the first place. It was yet another lie from him.
That’s has confused me from the beginning. If a truck is in front of you and a pole flies off of the truck it could come through your window-but one coming toward you ? I can’t see that happening!
@@annimclaughlin7520 I agree with you, that's been boggling my mind from the start. I'm sure many of us have driving been behind vehicles and had to brake to avoid bits of some idiot's load flying off, but I've never heard of of a vehicle being hit by something coming off an oncoming vehicle and I don't see how it's possible.
Dr. Cooke's brother's name is StePHen with a PH. Parents loved him more
They could afford it by the time he was born.
Play a drinking game. Everyone take a shot whenever Todd licks his gums.
His attorney keep clicking that pen like he's on fire.

I Hope, that He's the Wife in Prison. He is so female ... I believe he will be in hard times
Omg I’m so sickened when they asked about his kids….I have a sibling that’s younger named Jordan and mine is Jessica! Ugh
He needs to back away from that mic. He’s popping his p’s. I’m a radio host, this drives us insane!
I don’t know any couple who starts working in business together just to spend time together
I bet Barb caught him talking to someone else online and she was going to leave him and tell everyone and he didn’t want everyone knowing his secrets. I think he got rid of his electronics that he was using to communicate so that it couldn’t be discovered.
I love how the Judge was looking at Sledgehammer!! You can see it in his facial expression,he doesn’t believe this $ hit. Keep showing off your ring to the jury,didn’t work. Maybe one day,you’ll tell the truth and face God!!

The attorneys questions are so obvious and embarrassing!
Defence Attorney is leading the defendant into what to say as he says he doesn’t recall anything really
Maybe she was OCD and he got tired of it. Trying to.figure out why he killed her. My mom and dad were married 67 years before my dad died and they were together every day except while they were at work but I don't remember their relationship seeming weird like this one seemed. My mom and dad ADORED each other and wanted to do everything together but they never seemed weird about it like this couple. And he let barb help him flip houses but he didn't want women involved in his business. I'm confused.
Those bruises on her neck are horrible and brought tears to my eyes.
Dr Steven has prescribed himself way too many medications.
Love how the prosecutor turns the defense tactics on this quack!!
