My compliments to the defendant . He really went out of his way to make sure plenty of video and material evidence was readily available to law enforcement. He really helped put the prosecutions case together😂😂

[Timmichanga]

No matter his facial expression, he always looks like he's trying too hard

[Blahblahblah]

I truly wonder if he practiced these faces in the mirror while looking at his giant big baby head, thinking, “yeah, this is SO convincing!” 😂

Someone said “bro looks like a Snapchat filter” and I can’t unsee it lol

[irminakoza]

Hahaha he looks so stunned that they have figured out his plan! His face is so expressive and so unpleasant to look at, so much going on in his brain

[panaceiasuberes]

Who's here after the guilty verdict?

[henryhalkyard]

No audio for the first 40 minutes is frustrating :(

[TheLordOfCatan]

He kept incriminating evidence! This guy really thought he was so smart (to get away with the crime) he felt no need to get rid of the evidence

[rationalskeptic]

How TF does a defense attorney say these things with a straight face? He is OBVIOUSLY guilty. More guilty than any other case I’ve seen in a long long time.

his orange costume is so funny. he looked like a garden gnome 🤣🤣

Adam Lally, take notice. This is how a professional prosecution is handled.

Some judges would have stopped the trial, sent the jurors back, and would have gotten over him for continually shaking his head no. I’ve seen them do it, even when defendants sigh. They yell at them BIG time and tell them to either stop it, or else they will not be allowed to stay in the courtroom while the trial is going. This judge needs to stop his pathetic gestures. 😡

[JoOrtiz]

The audacity. After all the evidence that shows without a shadow of a doubt that he’s guilty AF, he still denies it.

[Mountaingoat]

Those poor neighbors have to be traumatized, especially their granddaughter

[BeeRadicaI]

Nothing like using the family vehicle to commit this crime. Seeing all the evidence they found at his house is mind boggling. Guilty! Case closed.

[Killbayne]

not the first time a suspect shown on Law & Crime was using a red SUV

[coldisle]

Robert is a monster straight out of a horror movie…a yet here he is…sitting a the defense table….pretending to be innocent. He is insufferable on so many levels. Robert looks like he is sitting in a full diaper….

Telles is trying so hard to look surprised/disturbed with his hand under his chin and the scrunched face. 😮🤨🤔 It’s like he Googled how humans are supposed to react. The problem is he’s doing too much and for way too long. The jury will see through it.
