He failed to murder her. And now he's failing to intimidate her. This man must be addicted to losing to this woman. Lmao. Good for you, ma'am.
Watching his children call him Trevor when they testified was delicious.
Greatest comment ever !! What a great spin on perspective for this situation for her ! Awesome, love it! .
I didn’t follow this case, have her claims been confirmed? Like couldn’t she be lying??
@@DiamondWhite91 Well that's what the trial is to determine I suppose. There's obviously enough evidence to suggest that she's NOT lying or he would never have been able to be taken to trial. From what I've seen of the trial, she's not lying, and he's the epitome of narcissist.
@@DiamondWhite91 He confessed...so there's that.
I cannot believe the court is allowing this sadism. I hope they put him away.
It's because they know this will put him away for even longer.
It’s a constitutional right. Not defending him.
Liberal facist. If you could have your way no man would be allowed to have a fair trial. Your words are sadistic. You POS
They will. Because no person who has remorse would ever do this. He’s an insecure little b****. Like all abusers are.
Ted Bundy did it too.
The fact he is standing there and not a lawyer tells you he overestimates himself in life
I don't think it has anything to do with that. I think it was just one last stab he could jab in her before he knew he was going to be put away for life.
Or he doesn't trust an attorney to do a through job
ThRs the legal system. You can defend yourself.
@@WhitneyBrock88 it's probably both tbh !
What did he do for a living?
The way he says "thank you" after 90% of his questions makes me want to throw things. It's his quiet, fake-polite way of implying to her, "what you just said helps MY case, and hurts yours. Thank you for that!" Despicable. Put him under the jail.
Ugh! And his “You can answer, Ms. Mathews..” as though he’s giving her his permission to speak. I CAN’T right now. 🤬
I love the way she answers but is purposely not looking at him.
@@kekkrestwood4018 what?
@@kekkrestwood4018 He admitted to everything. What is wrong with you.
And he continually repeats her answers too!sickening!
This is cruel. Making her talk to the man who tried to kill her. Just heartbreaking to see. I can't imagine what it must feel like to live.
He has separation jealousy .for him this might be last time he gets to talk to her before life in prison
He'll this might be romantic for a pychopath
Absolutely disgusting
Good old America an absolutely breed of their own
It's definitely messed up, to say the least. But it's his right to represent himself in court, I just don't think it's going to play in his favor.
Very odd, and something you don't see very often. At least like this.
Hope she and her family can recover from everything
It’s called a constitutional right to cross examine your accuser. He has an absolute right to do it if he’s representing himself
Perfect example of someone who thinks he's the smartest person in the room.
I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said "The man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client."😁
just like Nancy Brophy,
@@abelis644 I thought it was Benjamin Franklin 😭 but still a good quote frl
I guess he was so used to winning arguments with her that he didn't realize that in this argument, he couldn't just punch the jury into compliance like he did with her. I am glad he was so confident though because it allowed for justice to be served
Darrell brooks was worse
Please go read another article on this case. It is so much more extensive than just a home incident. Police were called because while transporting her to another location she got out of the car at Walmart and started screaming for help and witnesses saw him drag her back into the vehicle.
When police found them, the guy had cut his own neck and was actively in the process of strangling her. It was an attempt to end them both. You can see the shallow slit across his throat on his mugshot.
It’s disgusting to see people commenting in support of him or antagonistically against her. This is not a case based on pure he said she said. Witnesses saw him committing the kidnapping and police found him in the process of trying to end her life.
All this questioning from him to try to debunk her account of the initial home invasion is just atrocious. Let’s see him try to explain away the police finding him trying to end her life while bleeding from the self inflicted shallow throat slit. I don’t think the Shaggy strategy will get the job done: “It wasn’t me”
thank you!!
What a sicko.
This man is 100% psychopathic.
I can feel her anger and I'm proud of her!!!
Not seen one comment in support of him or against her - so no idea where you get that from.
@@pippipster6767 he’s trying let everyone know that he’s in-line with society’s expectations-it’s unnecessary moral posturing to bolster his own self image.
All I can say now is, What comes around, goes around. May his cellmate be more sadistic than he is.
Amen!
I can't imagine being examined by the man who tried to murder me. My heart feels for her. No one should have to do this.
@GencoSchmar 7 I am completely clueless about the legal system. Could you possibly explain this a bit? Is there some technicality that doesn't allow for appeal when a client is representing themselves? Or is it just assumed that a lay-person would do such an appalling job LARPing as a lawyer that it'll basically guarantee a conviction?
@@OhCrumbs96 I think that GencoSchmar means that the fool will do and say so much wrong while acting as a lawyer that he is digging his own grave. He will fail to see the consequences of what he agrees or disagrees to, which will make it very easy for the prosecution to have him convicted. He wouldn't be the first person that acted as his own lawyer that unknowingly helped the prosecution to get him convicted.
It can happen because he brings something up in court that the prosecution couldn't use before, but since he brought it up, it suddenly becomes admissible.
@@williamgeardener2509 Thank you for the insight. That definitely makes a lot of sense. It really does reek of narcissism when someone inexperienced insists on representing themselves, but in a scenario like this it is beyond reprehensible. I hope his arrogance slips him up and gets him convicted.
@@OhCrumbs96 Don't worry, like a real narcissist he is convinced that he's smarter than anyone else.
In reality he is playing chess against grandmasters while a thinks he's playing checkers against toddlers.
@@williamgeardener2509 Very true! It would be incredibly entertaining if it weren't for his poor ex-wife. I can't imagine having to somehow remain calm and composed whilst answering to the man who inflicted such cruelty on me. I hope it's of some comfort to her to at least know that the entire world is now seeing what a monster he truly is.
Admire her for not allowing him to see her eyes. What a terrifying, destestable man he is!
That's the word i was looking for DETESTABLE!
She should go to jail for making false accusations. She is obviously a psycho. I hope the jury can see what a vicious lying creep she is.
Can I call him despicable too?
@@FreaksSpeaks Yes go ahead, it's fitting.
I would not be able to get through this.
He’s trying to shame her by asking her questions about the home to further humiliate her because her home was not tidy. When you’re a victim a domestic violence, and going through a separation you’re so worn out that you have no strength or motivation to do simple things like keep up with your home. If you know, you know, speaking from experience.
The home was fine, it was not a mess look like any home I’ve been in that has a couple kids living there.
Home was very clean.A Home is not a home if it looks like nobody lives there
He absolutely did this to her for that reason! I don’t think her house is messy, but she may think it is & that’s why he did it! The clothes in the closet, what was the question about a belt? The cigarettes? Did he even go anywhere w/it?! I hate he gets another go at her!
@NOLA GIRL I can't believe he wanted her to say u bought me the laptop and the kids playset outside. Like Any of that even matters..while also trying to say u could've used the belt or anything to beat me over the head with...The audacity
I don't think that was the point. He was trying to prove the rooms were not part of a violent event. If they wrestled in there for three hours, and she sustained injuries in the process as well, as she claimed, the rooms would not be that tidy. There would not be water glasses on the nightstand, intact mirrors or tablets neatly connected to the charger. He was pretty smart about it, actually
I love that she wouldn’t even look at him. What an unbelievable, detestable man. Kudos for her braveness!!
This lady is a class act, and a badass! She is incredible poised, and she is DONE with his BS! You go girl!!!
Done, Done
@@snsn7251 ha right!
Have you noticed she avoids looking at him? Same as Johnny Depp! Abuser has no problem of looking and making eye contact! Victim feels disgust towards their abuser to the point of nausea. Tale tale that JD was victim too!
@@goaway9977 exactly.
@@goaway9977 glad somebody else was paying attention and not blinded by women's lib.
Many see this woman as a victim.. I see a very strong woman who is reclaimed her power and inner strength! Take a deep breath.. You got this!!
I agree.
Sending her Strength, Love, Power, Courage!!!
She is a victim and he’s re-victimizing her. How can you not see this?
Right, but she is still the "victim" in this case. Doesn't mean she looks weak or anything like that
@@momsterzz He is trying to victimise her...Us D.V. survivor's see us as just that. Survivors.
@@reemee3701 I’m both a victim and a survivor. No shame in being both.
This is inhumane. There needs to be a law against one’s abuser interrogating them like this.
Innocent until proven guilty unfortunately in this case
There is something better than a law it’s called innocent until proven guilty and being able to face your accusers in court, it’s a right as an American. He’s not going to attack and kill her in the quart room. Attempted murder is a serious charge. He has every right to question her before being locked away for the rest of his life.
Imagine being cross-examined by your kidnapper and being told it didn’t happen. That’s gaslighting on a whole new level.
This is awful! This man is a narcissist and the fact she has to deal with him yet again is just another abusive attack!
Curious what evidence you’re basing his guilt on?
Too bad they couldn't distort his disgusting voice.
Hopefully the jury will see this and punish him appropriately!
Women deal with Men like this all the time-Nice until their NOT!
@@johnhinkleman9757 watch the trial -
I love how she refuses to look at him!
Strong woman who will win this case….
@@diannedigirolamo7961 AMEN
My guess is to either stay calm or coached to look at the jury, as she should.
He is so disgusting 🤮. Can you imagine how she feels knowing she once used to let this man touch her? 😖😕😫
Seriously , that in itself proves his guilt. You can't fake the sheer disgust and repulsion on her face.
This is insane, but based on “innocent until proven guilty”. This woman is absolutely amazingly strong, as a victim myself of a horrendous crime, she is doing far better than I ever could have. Sending Prayers of strength and healing to her. It never ceases to amaze me when these narcissistic people think they can defend themselves better than professionally trained lawyers (that’s not saying they’re aren’t ineffective lawyers out there).
She is being incredibly composed. Well done to her. I take my hat off. Huge respect.
He is only representing himself to torture her even more. The judge should have refused.
I thought he went back to his old lawyer? At least that was the case yesterday 🤷🏻♀️
Perhaps if there is evidence of that. But a bare assertion is hardly enough to deny someone pro se status.
the great thing is that people who defend themselves almost always lose 🤣 that last jab he wanted to inflict on her is gonna be his coffin nail
@@izzeypally yes! Ive been thinking that!
The lack of understanding of basic law, rights and due process here is disturbing.
I'm appalled at the way that he is able to cross examine his victim after what he is being accused. It adds to the pain and prolongs the suffering to the victims. I think she is so brave to face that, I hope that she gets the justice she deserves and she and her kids can rebuild their lives.
Or he is innocent and knows a PD is not a good option.
@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 Yeah... I'm sure that's it.
@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 either way, its most interesting to watch. I am very interested to see this play out.
@@1981lashlarue Well, public defenders are generally not very good. Or i should say, they are more often than not overburdened with cases and cant spend the time needed on one single case. So i'd say the latter is more than likely.
As for the potentially innocent, i don't know. I think his questioning is interesting given what has been pointed out and especially if he has the evidence he seems to be suggesting he has.
The jury, or, some on the jury, will also take issue with how when in relation to him potentially being guilty she remembers the smallest detail but any other details she has no memory of.
He's not doing a bad job and guilty or innocent, all he needs is one.
I think in the end she will be much stronger. She is really impressive. God bless her.
Having gone through something very similar twice in my life. She's an absolute beast for this.
The amount of anxt and pressure during this entire day is unimaginable. She's my hero!
Anxt? Just write it out - anxiety. See? Isn't that better? No need to abbreviate such an already-short word. 💜
@@TheINFJChannel i think she is say angst....
She chose to face him and she did it with such dignity and courage. My heart and prayers go out to her and the children ❤🙏🙏
This dude just proved what a narcissist individual he is, he still is trying to control her by the reexamination of her testimony. OMG this poor woman, made it STOP!!!
Yep. I just saw that Ted Bundy movie with Zac Efron and it was the same for him when he did this. Just gross narcissism
Give a man enough rope and sometimes they'll hang themselves.
I think he's getting off seeing the photos of her private bedroom and bathroom.
He is the epitome of narcissism, I bet he had a hard on the whole time. Just appalling.
Definitely!
I love when a psycho narcissist thinks he's smarter than everyone else.... I feel bad for her... While I understand how the system works I still believe stuff like this should NEVER be allowed... an "alleged" kidnapper etc should not be able to re-traumatize his victim by questioning her/him. He still wants control over her and to intimidate and traumatize her more....he's nothing but a true POS
The reason I think they should have refused his request because he kept going back and forth. He's playing with the system.
@@mkmapp01 Yes. Did he fire his Attorney again? He's displaying his need for absolute control
There are legal arguments that have been made effectively to allow the victim to testify without being in the room..the prosecutors could have made it and chose not to
@@elizabethgrogan8553 yes. Literally this morning right before they started the cross examination
AGREED THIS so called system works way too much in favor of the criminal. I'm first hand having seen that - sat as a juror on a murder trial back in 1989 - will never ever ever forget
Traumatized by childhood sa, I cannot imagine being cross-examined by the person who traumatized me. My heart breaks for this poor woman.
I love that she uses her body to keep her mind safe and disdains him.
I love when these narcissistic men, like this one, think they can beat the system, fool everyone and think they are smarter than everyone else, have it all come back to blow up in their face. This woman is amazing. As hard as this was for her, harder than most can even imagine, she stays strong and committed to never making eye contact and giving him the satisfaction which most likely drove him absolutely insane!!!!
This creep wanted to play lawyer just so he could cross examine his ex wife/ victim.
Did he tell you that Mr. expert?
@@clevertaco328 come on, man!
@@clevertaco328 If you’ve followed this case, yes, it’s very clear what his intentions are. He’s a loser creep.
@@tulipsontheorgan Listen, I meant no offense. I don't know the details of the case and it wasn't personal. It just gets annoying seeing everyone comment as if they are experts seeing in his head or actually know anything that wasn't told to them. I am not defending this guy, it's just all the "I know what he thinks, how he thinks" cause no, we probably don't. You don't have to agree but I hope that makes sense.
@@clevertaco328 In all fairness, if he couldn't afford a lawyer he could have accepted a public defender. He is trying to rattle her. I was a nervous wreck just giving evidence against my abuser, I couldn't have done what she is doing.
He wanted to relive what he had done to her with her in front of the entire court. And he enjoyed it and looked like a fool while doing it. This is sick.
Absolutely a CONTROLLING MAN-who thought he could mess her up by questioning her!
Surprise 😮 This woman & mother held it together.
I wonder if there were people Praying for her 🙏
Exactly a dang sicko!!
UNBELIEVABLE! I've never seen a trial like this. And I don't blame her for not looking at him.
Agreed! I will never be okay with the criminal who chooses to represent himself and be allowed to cross examine their victim. The legal system definitely needs to change this! It makes me sick to my stomach everytime I see this
Not until you got to see the Darrell brooks trial I bet!
@@Kthb80 I saw that one as well. Horrible!
@@sassychef224 horrible for sure, entertainment value-off the charts, better than anything on Netflix
I can't imagine waking up with my ex standing by my bed, this guy thinks what happened is a normal thing.I'm glad Alisa and the kids can move on with their lives and heal.
This is so heartbreaking to watch it’s like he’s trying to to intimidate her further very narcissistic traits of a manipulative man
This never goes well for the “make shift attorney”

Omg grow up smh you people are so weak minded my god just stop with your crying it's his right don't fucing cry when it don't fit your narcissist narrative.
@@tj6930 it does if your really innocent
That poor woman. This should never happen. There should almost be a law in place to prevent being cross examined by your own abuser. It just seems wrong. The constitutional right to face your accuser can still be exercised through a third party asking the questions for him.
It should be if you won’t choose a lawyer to ask your questions then you can’t cross examine the victim. This was so appalling to watch.
it only seems wrong because hes guilty, they will not always be guilty ffs
So agree! It’s frigging nuts
Well that would be unconstitutional so I don't think that's gonna happen
@@1morechip You can change the constitution. They're called amendments.
I am amazed by this beautiful woman & how strong she is. She showing him that she's not his victim and he don't hold no power over her anymore. He's the one that's being held in a cage & being told what he can and can not do.
What a powerful woman my heart goes out to her and god bless her, and what a weasel of a man, he is so narcissistic and i hope he gets everything he deserves. There should be a law in place to protect victims of this vile act to make sure this never happens in a courtroom. The person on trial should not be allowed to cross examine the victim it's so disturbing.
I understand he's got a right to represent himself but the judge should put a stop to these ridiculous questions that have no relevance and aren't going anywhere. He's wasting everyone's time in order to have one last stab at his poor ex wife
He has to let it play out otherwise he'll come back and challenge the ruling..saying he wasn't treated fairly..etc etc..but I understand where ur coming from...you tube the Ronnie O'Neal III trial..this is tamed compared to his insanity..
I agree it’s awful and that he’s manipulative but conversely, she has a lawyer who can object to irrelevant questions.
@@AfterTheRains One problem though, the judge responds to the objections on his behalf. He keeps asking irrelevant questions because the judge rules on the objections without the defendant having to defend his questions. And sometimes the judge answers on his behalf. The judge sometimes acts like his lawyer.
@@missssophisicated6742 Yeah, both trying to sound like real lawyers 🤦. O'Neal making his son describe the horror he inflicted on him. But that poor boy did really well & she's holding up well too. They think they're impressing the jury with how smart they are while showing how sadistic they are.
@@Claudia-up6hr So true..ur right both are/did a great job..
He's reliving taking her prisoner. He's getting off on torturing her again. (He would call it shaming, but the only one being shamed here is him.) JUDGE, PUT A STOP TO THIS.
He can't he has the right to defend himself unfortunately
@@michellepeterson753
At least he's showing his true colours.
And he has no clue wtf he's doing.
Oh god, shut up. Everybody has to go through this in court.
It's a basic constitutional right, the basic right of any just legal system, and the self-ownership core of democracy to represent yourself.
Put a stop to this fair and speedy trial provided by the 6th amendment. Making this woman answer questions from her assailant, during the trial that will determine what rights will be taken away from him! STOP THIS TRIAL…and let his walk free?
I love how she won't even look at him. Faces away from him while answering his questions because he doesn't deserve the respect of eye contact
41:06 she's had enough of this bs. How can they let her abuser represent himself? In a case like this they ought to prohibit the accused from representing themselves as it puts the victim in a further traumatic situation.
This is horrible.
What's that old saying , " a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client " . This poor woman's terrified , I hope she gets justice
This the quote I was looking for. Thanks. How foolish of him in many aspects.
I don't get the feeling she is terrified- I think she is incredibly angry that she is having to go through having to be questioned by this as*hole!
I believe that is the quote!
I was thinking the same thing but you put it very eloquently 👍
The man who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer and a jackass for a client.
I understand why she can not look at him…
The anguish on her face. This will not end well for him
This made me thinking about Johnny Depp who refused to look at amber and it was taken him being guilty. I think abusers have no problem looking at their victims. For Victims however is triggering . They feel extremely disgust towards them. JD was a victim!
@@oneway1119 some victims (or victims’ loved ones) go to court and specifically want to look the person in the eyes so they know the pain they caused them, but it’s a “I survived a and get to stand tell you about it, you’re in cuffs” kinda pain. So while I absolutely understand not being able to look at an abuser in the eyes I hope people don’t just go off this case or the JD case and decide who’s guilty or innocent over that lol. (I don’t think you’re doing that, just hoping that people in general won’t)
Ain’t no reason to give him any satisfaction in looking at him
Honestly, he came off as nervous to me, and she wouldnt look at him, but she didnt seem terrified or scared to me. She seemed angry. And she even had moments of contempt. And im not gonna speculate why either may have felt those ways, theres no way to know. And i could argue it several different ways. (Law student here). I didnt really follow this case, but when i heard he went pro se, now i have to watch the whole trial from the beginning but I wanted to watch a little of the cross.
53:52 She's no longer afraid of him and sticks to her answers even though he tries to dominate her.
He is struggling because he's constantly interrupted in his game of " top class lawyer defeats legal system" and it's visibly annoying him, but she really defeated him when he asked: "What did we talk about in these 5 hours?".
Her answer : "I didn't do the talking. YOU went on and on about the nonsense...."
On top of everything else, the judge seems to be being oddly partial to him at times which is extremely disturbing. He’s bumbling his way through their legal system attempting this power trip and the judge is all “of course you can!” “here’s some tips on admitting evidence,” “let’s give him a little leeway,” “hey remember she can only speak to personal experience here bud.” I mean there were major oversights multiple times and he seemingly wouldn’t have intervened at ALL if her lawyers hadn’t objected. I hate this. I hate this for that woman. It’s too early to be so angry lol
Smart judge let this psycho show his true colours to the jury. Probably helped the jury hugely in reaching their verdict.
Judges tend to be more lenient to defendants representing themselves, as they don’t have legal training.
Is not really disturbing if you think about it, the narcissistic man will most likely appeal the verdict. So when the appeals court review everything they will see that the judge was impartial and fair to both sides. So, it’s a good thing at the end of the day. We need more fair and impartial judges to be like this… they are “judges” of course haha.
Edit: appeals court “should” deny the appeal
Oh shut up
Hes trying to make sure he gives him every opportunity so there is no successful appeal or mistrial.
“The man who defends himself in court, has a fool for a lawyer and a jackass for a client.” -Benjamin Franklin
This quote has also been attributed to Abraham Lincoln and others, as far back as the 1600’s.
But it fits this instance perfectly. This man is both a fool and a jackass. Hopefully the jury will be as appalled as I was watching this spectacle. He is violating this poor woman all over again. However, he does have the legal right to do so. But just because something is right or is a persons legal right, doesn’t make it prudent. But then again, how many prudent fools and jackasses do you know?
It's first mention in print was from the "The Flowers of Wit" by Henry Kett in 1814.
@Teresa Cox The unattributed quote in your 1st line of comment is a often used but has no substantiated validity. Who was the Apostle Paul's atty in Acts 25: 6-12? Who was Yeshua's atty in John 18:28-38? I wouldn't characterize either of these men according to that infamous quote! I certainly don't liken the man in this video to them but I don't believe an individual has to be a fool or a jackass to represent himself if he is best equipped to do so.
the quote that is mostly used is actually the man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.
@@MrDBarch The meaning is the same
@@manofgod3080 The biblical figures you refer to did not reprsent themselves under the American court system. False equivalency.

Then he'll whine about not having propper representation and get a new trial.
All these red pillers jumping in to defend this dude are kind of adorable.
At least they have each other.

That's incredible!!! A small about of stuff in the master that could be tidied up...but who doesn't have a space like this?

This is crazy. She's amazing for being so poised with being questioned by her attacker.

He is clearly enjoying making Alisa remember every single sadistic & brutal detail of the trauma he inflicted upon her. This maniacal monster failed in his plan to murder her. So he now attempts to revictimize her by forcing her to recall and relive each moment that she knows could very well have been her last. He will fail at this as well because she has taken back her power. I'm in awe of her strength and courage.
I was this women once.... When my ex narcissist as self represented cross examined me follow his attemp to strangle me. I feel every ounce of her pain humiliation and strength. I hope this guy gets locked up for a long long time.
It must have been a nightmare to live with this man. He clearly thinks he’s the smartest man in the room and it’s very clear he’s not
Good job "dad". You are successfully teaching your children what psychopathic "love" is. In other words it isn't love at all, it is attempts at sick control. They will be in therapy for years thanks to you. Only cowards and bullies use children as pawns in their sick games.
This man doesn't care a single bit about his offspring or the impact his behavior has had on them and will continue to. He was a sperm donor and nothing more. This woman is my new hero. I might have found a way to make sure he never made it intact to trial..if I was her.
Wonder how they are doing ? The 14yo who drove was obviously so angry with mom...they graffiti the house. Took dad's side.... wonder now they are older how they are doing this must have been horrific for all 5 of them.
@@Julie-si3hi I saw a tv documentary program after this ,can't remember the name it, of the case. The kids had a lot of therapy, daughter was recovering well from the trauma of it all.
My heart goes out to this lady. Prayers for her healing.🙏🏾 I cannot imagine what it is like to be questioned by the man the that tried to kill you. I can tell she wanted to break down but she maintained her composer. I don't know if I could do that.. Bless her!!
The fact that anyone would possibly think representing yourself is going to work is insane even real lawyers who go to court will get lawyers to represent them it’s always better to have someone else on your side this is just terrible this guy is certainly a POS
This guy just wants his chance to torture his victim a little bit more. That explains why we wanted to represent himself. Defendants shouldn’t be allowed to cross examine the victims IMO. She can’t even look in his direction
I watched another trial in Hillsborough county where a murderer was able to question the child he stabbed and burned. I almost threw up.
😢
yes, the little boy that "father" killed his mother, disabled sister and set the house on fire. The little boy was adopted by one of the detective's family, thank god. Horrible case, Dave's Lemonade RUclips station covered that case/ and that I watched. This is making me feel so sick I can't watch. She will win, this jerk is going to pay.
that's insane omgoodness, I feel so nauseous watching this
This has to be horrific for her, OMG!! Thank goodness he was found guilty on all charges!
It's awesome how he is making a fool out of himself, with absolutely no coherent arguments or logic to support his innocence..it's even better how he's showing himself to be a controlling, manipulative, abusive monster who totally lacks empathy. Can't wait to see him go to prison for the rest of his life! (Also, she is very brave..being able to answer his cruel questions without breaking down emotionally, which is probably what he wants).
I know everyone is Innocent until proven guilty, and that they have the right to face and question their accuser, but most people will leave it to a solicitor to do the work - all I can think is that this shows how much power he thinks he has over her..wanting her to put her through this. I think the Jury will also find this very uncomfortable. It may not play well in his favour!
He will definitely lose…
I agree.
Totally agree.
CANNOT believe the judge allowed this!!! 👿
@@abbyynorman2874 You should, if you understood that basics rights, due process, and democracy demand this be allowed.
This woman… she is just angry enough to take this and I think she is able to do it because she knows this is what it takes to nail him. Brava.
I agree she is to the point where she is mad enough to endure his b.s. knowing that her not letting him get to her is getting to him. She broke him not the other way around.
I believe this should be the same as witness intimidation. I dont see how it's any different and I believe that's what he fully intended to do. Intimidate her. He should have to have legal representation even if it's court appointed, even if they use his words and questions. Sick world we live in people.
This is totally outrageous 😡😡😡
Thank God this woman is a strong person. Many women who have been in a tumultuous relationship, which I am assuming this was, have been emotionally beaten down and have very little self worth, if any at all.
This is why I believe with all my being, that anyone who is the “accused”, in any case, should not be allowed to question the “victim”, PERIOD. There should be a law in every state that says this is not allowed. The victim needs protection from the accused in court just the same as outside of the court. There are always attorneys for someone representing themselves. Those attorneys or another attorney should be the only person to question the victim, PERIOD!!!
Candace Mcdonald was strong and composed when her ex husband, Michael Mcdonald, cross examined her for three hours...
She is remarried, like this Alisa Mathewson and living a good life...
This is a strong woman being questioned by a manipulative bully. He is sure getting his kicks being allowed to question her like this. I wonder if he believed she wouldn’t go through with it. Hopefully, her now husband is able to comfort her mind after this.
She already has another husband? Wow she moves fast. I bet he's just like this guy. These types of women keep picking the same kind.
@@chrismorrison3375 “Moves fast”? This happened five years ago. This manipulative narcissist has been delaying this trial by repeatedly firing his lawyers before trial and tried to do it again this time by saying, now that he was representing himself, he didn’t have enough time to prepare. Fortunately, this judge was on it.
She deserves happiness
@@chrismorrison3375 Get the facts straight before you spit your misogyny.
@@chrismorrison3375 Low life...men poke around the same day...
This is so disgusting and disturbing to know he’s allowed to do this
I agree. Ridiculous!
Oh so agree!
It’s his constitutional right. You might not like it and it might be painful to watch, but every American has the right to face their accuser.
He fired his lawyers. The judge tried to convince not to represent himself
He’s terrible
This puts me in mind of Ted Bundy's Chi Omega murder trial. Bundy, acting as his own attorney, asked the lead detective to describe in as much detail as he could, the crime scenes and the wounds inflicted on the bodies. Of course, a real defense attorney would never do that, and someone has surmised that Bundy was getting off from hearing the details of his crimes. Likewise, I think this joker is doing the same thing. I hope he comes across to the jury as creepy as he does to me.
It should not be allowed to represent your self when you have tried to hurt someone and traumatized a person. It’s such a power play for them to do this. She was so calm and tough! She should be proud of her self that she made it trough looking like a powerfull superwoman! I doubt i would be able to do it. Hope she is doing as good as she can after all that trauma.
She is handling herself very well during his questioning lol she's doing way better than I would have if I was in this situation! Wowzes!
Yep.
Bless this badass, strong woman. She dosen't need it but if she ever reached out I'd beat this homie to sleep. There's a dif between this woman,SF community, and thus fuggin loser.
@@sandymcpartlon9972 5 years? Why such a delay? Did he flee the state?
And you are an extremely unintelligent person because that is exactly what he or anyone in his situation would have been trying to accomplish. You would give them that one last win that means absolutely nothing.
@@scottthomson3575 We talked about this already, Scotty. You need to take a deep breath and settle down.
WHAAAT?!?! This is one of the most disgusting things about our system. But she’s handling it like a boss!
they need to change the law
It's not disgusting, it's just part of our justice system. This woman can deal with this man now like she's dealt with him before. She'll be fine.
It is just sick that the judge allowed him to represent himself after changing his mind in the beginning and going with an attorney. He is reliving what he did to her and enjoying every bit of it
"A man who represents himself, has a fool for a client." -Abraham Lincoln
This is exactly why so many abusers get away with their crimes! Because victims don’t want to upset them more and or, don’t want to risk the chance of having to face them ever again, or WORST!!! HAVE THIS HAPPEN 🥺🤮🤮🤮
Praying for her 🙏
This is why it's so easy for a woman to accuse a man of doing something and everybody believes it I think she's lying to the side of her head
Absolutely, how can a system imagine having to choose between Justice/ truth & surviving this garbage. How can this be called Justice seeking?
@@carolan9740 right?? It’s Victimizing the victim all over again and people wanna roll their eyes at that statement but it’s completely true
It's called patriarchy. Men don't think this is a big deal.
@@itzelmayoral729 women don't think things are a big deal a lot more than men do
I feel terrible for their then 14 year old daughter. She must be carrying a lot because of him.
This guy, if guilty, has some life learning coming to him. Words fail me. That said, there's something off-smelling about the whole thing. I'm not envious of anyone in that court. Edited to add: The more of this I see, the less I can give him the benefit of any doubt whatsoever.
I remember a case where this man attempted murder on his 12 year old son and left him for dead, the kid survived so the Dad representing himself steps up to the podium and says "hi, son it's good to see you" like wtf y is this allowed
I’m so sick to my stomach watching her go through this! I feel so horrible for her. The extra trauma is not fair to her. You know he’s enjoying every minute of this. Narcissist 110% . I can’t believe he’s even able to do this. But much respect to her for not even looking at him.
Bump it up to psychopath please!
You don't have to watch
This will not go well for him…the anguish on her face
@@pigs6486 you don’t have to comment.
@@pigs6486 This isn't fiction. Put down the joint.
When dealing with the photos, his hands were shaking. He's not as poised and collected as he would have us believe. She has him scared and I love it!
Exactly what I was thinking! Especially when they had to help him get the machine to work
There are some people who are saying he is innocent, but from what I believe...correct me if I'm wrong...I don't think I've ever heard of an innocent defendant ever representing themselves? It's always guilty defendants who defend themselves, because they are usually narcasisstic and think they are better than any lawyer could ever be.
How can people say hes innocent?
@@user-zi1kl4zf4g I honestly don't know, but I read a couple of comments that were defending him. This was the first I'd heard of this case and after the first few minutes I actually searched for it and got the details of what happened and I'm shocked that anyone wants to defend this guy's actions!
This is so hard to watch. I have watched painful court proceedings but this takes the cake
He is doing this only as ADDITIONAL torture. to make her humble herself before him. What a psychopath.
exactly right
She's a stronger woman than me. This is so gut wrenching to watch. The only upside is that this is pretty much a guarantee that he'll be going away for a very long time.
I would have lost it on him. It isn't helping his defense, it's only helping to seal his fate, and guilt. Also, it shows how Narcissistic he is, and how he wants to maintain a power of his victim. I am so glad she survived, she was so fortunate to have gotten found by LEO's.
Agreed.
🙄🙄🙄🙄
She was a very lousy house keeper,, she kept the house as a dumpster imagine what poor children went through in that dumpster,,, at any rate those pictures proves so strongly that she was a very lousy mother for those children, child protection agency should taje care of those poor children living in such a deplorable environment
@@christinezavadil9768 thanks. I was wondering if trolls still existed and here you are. Have a great day Chris.

Well that was the longest game of I spy I've ever witnessed played in a courtroom
Here to support. Shaking my head and clutching my pearls. God Bless this woman.
the fact that he wanted to represent himself just to do this.. sick
He'll be able to think about and remember this when he's locked up for years.😈
@@abelis644 He's a narcissist... He will probably kill himself in jail b4 the verdict comes out, just to say, "I ended all this my way!"
When the lawyers say they can get him a short 60 year sentence instead if life he said screw that and represented himself
@@sadhu7191 he’s a definite narcissist. thinks he can get away with this and gets to torture his wife again.. two birds one stone
This is the ONLY reason he wanted to defend himself..so he could try to traumatize her again.
THe laws need to be altered about abusers doing this to their victims.
It should be done via video link, where the abuser does not get to see the victim, and where the abuser's questions need to be given to a third party to read aloud. This wouldn't detract from the defendant's legal rights. But provides some measure of protection from further harm to the victim.
People who have suffered such egregious assaults and violence should not be placed in situations which can inflict psychological harm on them.
I'm surprised people who are forced into such situations don't sue the courts for the harm caused to them - because suing is the only method they have to try to stop this.
In the UK..children mostly only give evidence via video link, and don't have to see the court room. Precisely to try to minimize the psychological harm.
This is a perfect idea for such instances. A third party can do the job and she doesn't have to deal with seeing him or even being in the same vicinity as this pos!!
Yep, his last source of fuel, milking it for all it's worth whilst simultaneously getting to smear her.
They are the seared consciences the good book describes.
This is a great idea.
This is terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! He knew what he was doing
The UK is usually more progressive in items that really matter than America. Yes I am living in the USA.
Victimizing and further traumatizing the victim. This is cruel.
Bundy was allowed to do this as part of his “legal counsel”. It’s disgusting and unpalatable! Should not be allowed. I know it’s in the Constitution that the accused has a right to face their accuser, but this is too far.
This is the slowest court proceedings I've ever seen. Let me get this straight. He was caught in the act. It was witnessed by Walgreens employee. Is he now saying he didn't do it?
And confessed to it.
You must not have seen many court proceedings lol.
@@yourinnerlawyer4035 actually I have. I think he just irked me.
How disgusting, you can tell he wants her to look at him and I applaud her for not giving him that satisfaction. This should not have been allowed
These comments show the lack of education in this country. People have the right to defend themself in this country. Ffs
I feel so bad that she had to be questioned by her Ex Husband and Attacker 🤬
This further proves that he’s a literal psychopath. He’s loving every second of this. He thinks he’s so much smarter than everyone else - and he’s blatantly not. Absolute freak.
He's totally getting off by reliving it so much so, he can't seem to see how obvious that is!!!!!! Sick sick man who shouldn't ever be part of society again. He proves that though these actions.
This doesn’t prove anything
Gosh his hateful....reminds me of a psychopath I was knew. Luckily he passed on. This freak should spend the rest of his miserable life in jail. Looks like he would probably enjoy it there anyway😂
He don't think he's smarter, he wants to force her to live the event again. He knows he's going to be found guilty and go away for a long long time.
Ultimate control to force wife to interact with this jerk.
She's strong, she has the power.
I think it was Oscar Wilde who said "The man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client."
He really thinks that looking at pictures of the house is going to convince the jury of anything?
I can’t imagine, being in her position, getting cross-examined by the person who did the crime to her… He is so disgusting, manipulative, egotistical, etc, that it hurts my soul. If I was in her position I wouldn’t be able to do it. I would be so sarcastic and rude and say “well you were there you tell me what happened”
Law talk with Mike, Alisa Mathewson, has a interview with the victim two days after the verdict. Interesting to listen to.
I believe her simply when she said "you can go on and on and on". She's telling the truth for sure.
Please ladies, be careful who you fall in love with. Controlling you is not a demonstration of love. It doesn't get better, it gets worse. I feel for this lady. He manipulated the kids to think that the mom was the problem.
Yes, been there and have 2 back surgeries... PTSD and anxiety...
@@lisacranmer8005 I am sorry you have to go through this. Congratulations you are out alive. ❤️
Do not get pregnant by or financially entangled or married to anyone who you are not sure is in a healthy place. Do background checks and expect they will do the same on you. Do full physicals (including asymptomatic STDs, and diseases) and pre-marital therapy. Many people are trapped or exist in relationships that are dysfunctional and ruin their physical/mental health. Get your best life, establish credit, create savings/retirement, get educated, and let your partner be a bonus, so many have to walk away.
She has so much courage, I hope she stays strong during this trial for herself and her kids.
Can't imagine what it was like to live this narcissistic man. He could teach a master's course. 💀
