    Nothing would have happened if people would just mind their own business!!
  • @Sosozanyway
    Everyone talking about him lying, but so far every single person who has been called to the stand that was involved in the incident has lied.
  • @Jacelyn-tn6mq
    What is really disturbing to me is, when his friend approached, kids were bleeding in the water yet 911 was not called by the friend when he returned to his group. What kind of people are these?
  • @paulbear5664
    Never talk to anyone until your lawyer is present. Everything is designed to entrap you. The best defense attorney I know has a simple rule - never ever talk to the police without your lawyer present - ever
  • I have followed quite a few trials like this in the past couple of years. What I have learned: The state is not your friend.
  • @dianamgallagher
    The way the prosecuter says, "right?" after every single question is annoying to listen to.
  • @banjax80
    Prosecutors aren't about finding the truth, they're about manipulating facts to win their case.
  • Regardless of where you stand on this trial one thing is for sure. This is a clear lesson in why everyone needs to mind their own damn business.
  • @jeffruthe3258
    This is a perfect example of why you never talk to police. Whether you're guilty or not.
  • @mfranck1
    That confession in the car where he says he thought a fight happened but wasn’t involved… mind blowing. 🤯
  • @kipkapper3014
    this is a case where zero testimony is necessary. all the evidence needed is on video.
  • @jinov191
    Who is Maddie, the river police? She has zero authority to make someone leave and she certainly has no right to physically push or touch him, she wasn't even involved with the original interaction. Who would not be irritated or angry if someone is yelling at them to leave regardless of wether it's a female or male.
  • The problem with the prosecution charging him with first degree murder is that they are trying to argue and twist things now that Miu intentionally brought his knife over with the intent of stabbing people. It's absolutely stupid and not believable based on the video evidence and everything else. They needed to charge him with something lesser. The prosecution put themselves in an extremely difficult position to argue.

    I’m so fallible. I watched the defense earlier and said he was being unjustifiably convicted. Now I watch this, and my opinion has changed. Don’t believe anything before you have the full story. Lesson learned for me.
  • I feel for everyone in this situation. As someone who has been jumped by three men at work, unprovoked (I work in an industry that leaves the customer on high alert), I can assure you that it is beyond terrifying. You are not aware of what your assailants are capable of, when they will stop assaulting you, or how the situation will end. I did not have a weapon on me and anytime I stood back up to get help, I was then pushed down again and punched and kicked, so I was in no position to defend myself - but with fear, adrenaline and pain coursing through your body, I can absolutely attest to how disoriented you get and how all train of typical thinking flees your mind. I was unable to think of how to protect myself properly, such as covering my head or vital organs, to give credit to the fact that you don't quite have all your faculties. Add 10 other people who are screaming and laughing at you, plus alcohol, and you get this case. He will have to pay for his actions that day, especially since multiple people became intentional targets, but everyone involved in pushing this man down and harming him should be held accountable for their assaults and aiding the situation to occur in the first place.
  • @PNWJEEPER01
    This guy's attorney should never have let him testify. Holy crap that was a train wreck for the defense.
  • @brooksblogs5403
    Goggles in his accent probably sounded like "girls" to the drunk and high boys.
  • All of this over a phone that wasn’t even his…..im sure he’s regretting not walking away 🤦🏻‍♂️
