Unbelievable! This is like watching a turkey baste itself for Thanksgiving dinner. Court TV's Matt Johnson deserves a Daytime Emmy just for managing to stay awake through Telles' litany of rambling deflections. Way to go, Matt. 🤗

[westyinzer]

All this rambling is going to annoy the jury so bad that they will want to send him to the electric chair

[EducatedBlackMan]

The worst p[performance by a narcissist who thinks he can talk his way out of anything.

[RNFORLAW]

Jury will deliberate for maybe 5 minutes with this clown ~

Him: "I think..."
"I don't think..."
"I guess..."
You shouldn't..."
"What I think is..."

What a beautiful trainwreck!😒💀😀

He sounded like he was praising whomever actually killed the guy. Which, a narcissist doesn’t praise other people. So… sounds like he was bragging about his murder skills.

[sindiswamoolman]

It’s not a surprise that he took the stand. This is the person who wanted to defend himself. He believes he can do a better job than his attorneys

[kenginger]

The only defendant I've seen ever in which there is zero doubts. No irrational doubts, no maybe doubts, definitely no reasonable doubts.

I really enjoy watching Julie cover these current court cases. Not only does she bring a high level of professionalism, she also brings her fun personality and respect/kindness to all her guests. Matt with his seriousness always does a great job to, and is a perfect compliment to this broadcast. Thank you Court TV.

[ircjesselee]

He doesn't have the charisma or the look to pull this off.

[kellybrown]

This is going to be the funniest SNL skit though!

[donnakreye]

He already looks like a Prisoner.
I can’t wait until he gets questioned!

[Lu-LadyBug]

He's pathetic! Probably the worst testimony I've ever heard. He thinks he's so smart😂
Someone framed him? How did his DNA get under Jeff's fingernails? The cut on his finger? What a joke! Nice try buddy😅

[lindafinch]

Because he's a lawyer himself and was a politician he thinks he can convince people that the earth is flat. I met him years ago. My coworker and myself were introduced to him at a function and we immediately thought he was a creep; you can feel it.

[marypirasteh]

Dear Julie, I agree with you 100% on this guy he is guilty

[Siimonseez]

Agree with the Chief, ranting and boring an anxious jury is a big, big mistake.

[jezzukahm]

So he wants people to believe he’s been set up to where they copied his car, his shoes, hacked his phone, planted evidence, planted dna instead of just murdering him. Yeah okay.🥴

[Liberty]

This is like a plot from the show Columbo. it is always the self proclaimed hero who is the villain. The only thing missing is Lt. Columbo coming in and saying O' just one more question....

[veronicasawyer]

this dude is so disrespectful of the jury’s time and patience. he fought for months to be able to pro se represent and thissss is him prepped and ready to testify?! good lord 🫨

[Therapistmind]

He was a politician he’s skilled at lying
