I came for the novel trial but im staying for the defence attorney trainwreck.

[DarkBayTB]

“Ah I’m sorry judge, but things are moving so fast, I’m sorry” defense attorney said 163 times. LOL

[stacey]

What the hell is wrong with this defense attorney?

[louesparza]

Why doesn't the judge use a microphone?
How aggravating!

[NomusaMagical]

EC killing animals as a kid and carrying a dead animal to school every day. Even most neglectful parent should see this as disturbing.

[kenzysworld]

The defense attorney is the only person who is speaking loud enough for me to hear. No clue what the judge is saying or whispering for that matter.

[tonyastamm]

Doesn’t this judge realize that others may have a hard time hearing her? It’s so important to make sure everyone can hear so the instructions are clear. Witnesses are told to speak up so the jury and court reporter can have a clear record.

[rita]

The judge lacks leadership and professional behavior and the defense attorney needs professional help for her emotional instability! This is pathetic. My heart goes out to everyone trying to find justice.

If you're asking an ATF Special Agent ridiculous questions, you might be in trouble.

“I can’t think straight” - defense attorney. 2:32:36 are you shitting me

[sarahashby]

“I was not sobbing!!!!” Defense attorney is a child. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Not_Squirrel]

Parental Rights means 100% parental responsibility for one's minor children. Period. No excuses. I am so sick of parents saying they didn't know what their minor teenager, living in the parent's home, was experiencing 😑 Yet another parent saying they didn't know...couldn't know...child didn't tell them...school didn't...All excuses for parental negligence. 💩 parents too busy to finish parenting through to adulthood. Minor children are NOT miniature adults.

[ChadElk]

Dressing her up as a frail granny who sits home all day and gets Pinterest knitting ideas is NOT going to work for this one. 🤦‍♂

[savedonlybygracesmo]

I am so embarrassed for this defense attorney. She is in WAY OVER her head! Asking stupid questions without substance or validity, and repeatedly dwelling on the same monotonous questions is going to sink her, and her client. Absolutely terrible!

[Anna_Stetik]

I do believe that many parents *should* be held responsible for what their messy kids do to others, but what I want to know is WHY only these parents? Why was this so 'in our face', when others are never held accountable?

[wattsandwaxfamilyofteams-s]

I can’t believe she’s a private attorney. In my professional and just personal experience enjoying trials and true crime….. the defense attorney has got to be the worst lawyers I’ve ever seen

[lisagreene]

Her attorney comes off as a spoiled brat. I truly feel bad for all these ppl. So many lives ruined. Pay attention parents, heres ur wake up call. This could happen to anyone. 😮

[Msuniqueu]

I’ve seen the female defense attorney before and she has always gotten on my nerves! She is a terrible attorney and her opening statement was horrific from the start! I couldn’t believe she talks about blasting a Taylor Swift song on her drive to the courthouse! 🙄

[km]

And the judge did tell everyone to not show emotions!!! Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve. Judge go back and listen to what you said.

[hulahole]

Taylor Swift? The Taylor Swift defense, man oh man, she is screwed. I have not liked this attorney from the beginning, but now I like her even less.
