If he was so concerned about her, why didn’t he call the police or anyone for help? I don’t feel sorry for him. They both need to go to prison.
I explained it all above! I can see right through him!
You should watch the dateline. She said she would deny it all.
His excuse was that ...nvm it was so convoluted and insane why she told him not to call the police I even forgot or cant articulate it lmao
Military man or not, doesn't give him the right to kill someone's husband, guilty as sin, cry me a river.
Nope! You can’t kill someone and then claim your military service is the reason for your actions. There are many veterans who are suffering and they don’t shoot someone. Definitely guilty!
I do have empathy for the fact that he was manipulated, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he voluntarily took another human life. He’s clearly competent and knows right from wrong, so he does need to be provided with some kind of a consequence.
Absolutely agree
Yep. This is the entire reason we have a Justice system.
WITH A SEVERE CONSEQUENCE.
@@earth0128he gets an award for that fake ACT! No juror would fall for this crap 💩
Right
I don’t feel sorry for him. He killed an innocent man. He is NOT a hero, he’s a Vigilante.
This man is dangerous. Anybody can tell him any nonsense and he is ready to kill the object of his or her hatred.
Exactly. This is the best point I've seen someone make on this video.
I'm not sure how the brain injury and PTSD affected his decision making.
Her manipulation and coersive behaviours may have put him in a psychological trap.
To judge is easy and I'm sure the right punishment will be delivered, he needs to face his actions.
Veteran here. I appreciate his service and what he went thru. However.... That doesn't mean he doesn't know right from wrong.
And you know that war fucks you up! Just look at Vietnam!
Exactly!
@Randys4g I salute you. ❤️
Any woman who goes to a man to harm another is probably a liar otherwise she’d go to the cops. Aside from that she obviously wouldn’t care about you or anyone other than herself. I don’t understand these type of cases.
I’m a veteran and I find it offensive that the defense is saying how he’s a decorated war soldier so he should be given a light sentence? He killed an innocent man and that has absolutely nothing to do with being a veteran. He should get the maximum.
TEARS ON AND OFF! omg I can't watch him! Hope jurors see through him!
I know jurors are cringing not believing a word of this sick ACT of vigilante idiocy! The mentality of this guy is nutjob! Little insecure man syndrome! Scared of rejection too!
I watched again 48 hours on this I can't believe she was giving him money and gifts from the GoFundMe she received He had no problem spending it after he gunned down this innocent man. HE NEEDS TO BE IN PRISON FOR LIFE!!! Watch 48 hours episode.
Idk... This guy does not appear to have a malice bone in his body. I believe he truly thought he was saving a women from DV, believing everything she said.
I want him to get help for all his mental ailments and brain injury. He needs to do some time as an innocent man lost his life and he could have called the cops- anonymously, to do welfare checks for that women...
He is really vile! Little man syndrome and fear of rejection and he was trying to be a big man to save the day making it a military mission as if police don’t exist! Pure nutjob afraid of rejection once he got the dumb fat girl! His TBI had nothing to do with this at all! He had personality disorder from childhood that played out here! Fake persona!
Agree
That's why I question his capacity with decision making, her manipulation and coersive behaviours were extreme.
He must face time for taking an innocent man's life.
@@earth0128 100%! He knows right from wrong, I believe that.
With his mental barriers I think she caused him to tunnel vision and spin out of control and truly not see another way out except to help her. He even said it himself, he wasn't thinking of the consequences for him. He just felt and knew he had to protect her. She is abhorrent, callous and just gross.
He seems like someone I'd still feel good to be friends with. But he needs help to not be so easily manipulated. I feel bad for him.
@@9babyblu
it's important to look at the bigger picture, so hard with cases like this, the victim seems forgotten. 😞
But he's not the first person to get manipulated into crime by another.
He needs prison time and therapy.
Doesn’t matter what the husband did, or did not do that never justifies a murder. Never.
He has a brain injury & he was used
Never say never .... the other day, father killed 3 sons ... wife should kill him right dhen there.
@@gordonrundell3260Does his brain injury prevent him from knowing right from wrong though?
Yes for sure! This guy is childish but has to go to prison! He lost humanity in military to do that gun murder and I have no sympathy! He chose horribly but he is in his right mind! He loved the fantasy of being a hero! But why not call police instead of killing a guy!!!! How does he think that was his job to intervene??? To go kill unlawfully like that which is crazy in society, he made bad choice aside from the fake story!
@@gordonrundell3260
He is not defective to me enough to be retarded enough to not be responsible for this! It’s a heinous gun murder! He is not getting away with that evil act after he lost all humanity in the military! No way!
I know they say he was injured but didn't he question why she didn't go to the police. What was she doing before they reconnected with him? This man is too simple. Didn't he consider the consequences of his actions for himself and Mr. Faith's family.
He says he can't get how Jennifer would take the life of her daughter's father...while he is the one who actually did that heinous act 🤔
Those tears dry up extremely quick🤦
The fact the first time he sees the lady in decades was when he kills her husband is insane! Why didn’t they ever meet beforehand?
Much of their relationship was online. They lived many miles from each other.
Amazing 😢
Real dumb F here! What ever happened to calling police??? He acted out a military mission to feel important! Was afraid of her seeing his wimp self and rejecting him!
@@Lisa-xm4bwyeah that makes it more insane! He was afraid of rejection because he is a childish nutjob acting out a fake military mission in society as if nobody else exists like COPS! What a loser Douche!
People have k**led for less, sad but true 😞
He seems to want to portray himself to the public as a honorable militery, kind hearted, savior, whom innocently murdered a person. Blames everyone for it but wants his deed excused with a pity party.
*an honorable retired member of the military, kindhearted savior who murdered another person.
When TBI, PTSD is involved the experts can make a evaluation based on all information to help determine his capacity.
He should face time for his crime, an innocent man lost his life.
However her manipulations and coersive behaviours should be considered.
Do you know how he got the TBI and when?
This man is a victim too. He and the lawyer looks like family
He’s a criminal not a victim
What do you think is the correct verdict, if that's the case? Even if he was manipulated, he is dangerous. If one person can manipulate him that easily to murder someone (without him trying to call the police/get her real help first).. then he's an easy target for another manipulator. He chose this, he knew the risk -- so he should deal with the consequences. It's 1st degree murder no matter how you look at it.
@@crysn315🎯
😂😂😂!! Latino bunch of 😂!
Very sad that this man was used in such an evil manner.!!!
He is so childish I see how he was used so easily by that witch! Glad she is in prison!!! He has to go to prison forever too! He is an adult who did a horrible gun murder! He can’t get away with that!
@@Juke582 NO he's playing the role for pitty. NO 0NE not up to par doesn't make Special Ops. MY husband was Special Ops. This man's playing the good Ole boy act. He every bit of quilty as his scandalous gf. Both deserve life without I'm prison. No tears to flipping back to being just fine. Lousy acting.
@@Victoria_USA_🎯
@@Victoria_USA_🥴
@@Victoria_USA_ hate to tell you but there's no special level of intelligence needed for special ops.
The most important asset is following orders to a T and taking to training.
To enter SPO training a soldier only needs a GT score of 110, which is just above high school level.
Special forces medics is slightly higher at 125.
Which is still just college level graduate.
110 is average intelligence of the populous.
Ditch diggers can have higher IQs.
FYI: JURORS ARE SUPPOSED TO APPLY THE LAW NOT LET THEIR EMOTIONS INTO THE VERDICT - SO LETS SEE IF THEY CAN DO THAT… BEING AN IDIOT DOESN’T EXCUSE MURDER - GUILTY!!!
COURT TV ROCKS !
Is this for actual real?? What kind of brain injury allows you process complex situations but remarkably unable to understand being a murderer is wrong? Nah. I'd have to see comparative brain scans to believe this guy isn't just cunning.
Yes I would need experts to testify, hope they bring them in.
I think it’s clear that he knows right from wrong. I don’t think his attorney is arguing otherwise. They are trying to justify the murder by saying he was manipulated and had a warped sense of being a hero. Despite that and/or PTSD or a TBI, he knows right from wrong. He can’t claim incompetence.
Why don’t people just get divorced?! You WILL get caught.
Divorce is messy? They want all the assets? Who knows why evil people do this
Two words…. LIFE INSURANCE
Exactly my point.
Money!!!!!!! She stood to get a lot of money from his life insurance!!! That’s oldest motive in history!
@@masterkni666money dear! Duh 🙄 huge life insurance policy he had!!! Oldest motive in history!
Darrin Lopez is a great liar.
He brought the gun but she had already killed everything there was of her husband. Who could say such things about their husband when he was a good man? The right person is in prison for life. He doesn't need a prison sentence, he needs people around him he can trust and be there for him. RIP Mr. Faith.
🙏🩵
This poor guy was used by her i hope the jury see sense & realise hes a victim to, she used his brain injury to her advantage
@@Juke582, psychopath, 😂.
His ptsd and TBI had nothing to do with this! Little man wimp syndrome and fear of rejection kicked in!!!
Lol yeah right, he knows he has to put on a good show to get out of this one. He's a pos
@@Juke582agreed. I can say from my personal experience with my own life. I was kidnapped and sexually exploited. When I escaped I purposefully searched for someone who could kill anyone in my past life that hurt me. My ex partner at the time had severe PTSD, TBI and a drug problem. He’s a highly decorated ( honorable discharged) green beret and special forces. My abuser was evil and never once did it ever occur to us to seek revenge. I don’t feel sorry for him. Especially someone who was in the military and has seen war and death. He knows what he did is wrong. This was not tbi nor was it ptsd. These guys are trained to kill a threat but not civilians as bad as the abuser/ person might be. No excuse!
@@Juke582PTSD is no laughing matter.
Clearly you think it's a small issue.
Quick recovery from talking about those he’s lost and resulting pain to talking about other things. The tears dried up quickly. I’m not saying that he doesn’t care about those he’s lost, but there’s a bit of a suspicious recovery from crying.
Watch the 48 hours on this omg I don't believe he is NOT remorseful.
@@lauragarcia286
I DO believe he’s not remorseful. But you’re entitled to your opinion.
I understand how it can look. But emotional states do change swiftly depending on applied triggers.
@@foley15136 yea he might be remorseful
In the army he had have been under strict stringent training to kill. Having a brain injury would not have helped.
That's true, follows commands plus impaired. She manipulated him.
He almost has a childlike mentality idk if I'm crazy or not. Very easily manipulated almost not even fair
To me he would have to be totally retarded to get sympathy as a victim here! He is s psychopath doing that horrible act! He will rot in prison forever! I don’t see much mental defect here! He stuffers but may have done that all his life!
Yes…this is the sad irony of the good man.. the nice man. Easily manipulated by a predator. A female predator.
Classic 'dumb act'(?)
I think he lost capacity through the brain injury but he must do time for his crime, no excuse.
@@earth0128 He's milking it, playing it up.
DV survivor here. This man is no hero. “His mission was to save people” is BS. Murder is never an option. Put this nut under the jail. 🗑️
🇺🇸😢As a fellow soldier [MOS15U] I have no doubt that he did his job. I saw these SF guys in Iraq & as a lowly Chinook mechanic, I can say from what I saw, no book has yet captured how these guys are always up to getting the job done & saving lives. It ain't his fault he got bogus intel. (4,421 U.S. Servicemen & women & 3,650 contractors were killed in Iraq~I ain’t bitching about it, but i would ask those who would say this man is a monster, if he truly is a monster, then shouldn’t those who lied to the world, to him, also be responsible in some way? But of course not, coz they’re all in the same club & the lowly serviceman pays the price. (But, he ain’t no monster) 🙏✊🇺🇸✊🙏
He describes this brutal murder as though he's making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
Women can be sooo scandalous
What a good actor and speaker, he has a chance to fool the jurors
He seems to think being a gullible tool is a defense. If that were the case the prisons would be almost empty.
Guys going to jail for life for someone that already has her mouth full with someone else
He hadn’t seen her since 1993 , that’s crazy, they are both crazy
War is a hell of a drug…
I like filtered water
48:49 Jennifer wanted him to buy her $400 worth of sex toys for her Christmas present? What?
WoW 😮 I missed that! Gross!
Even if her stories were true and she was married to the devil himself, this is STILL not the way to handle it if you care at all about your own livelihood and future.
If you still make the decision to do what this man did, be prepared to kiss your freedom and life as you knew it goodbye.
32:18 The one grace Jennifer gave him was she never told him everything was FAKE!?
So that's the reason you killed an innocent person and you're glad she faked it all!
Could this guy be any more stupid? He's really getting on my nerves.
Yeah read my posts here! Geez this guy is a mentalcase but not from PTSD that’s for sure! Little man syndrome!
Not getting on your nerves though 😂😂
Shocking that the military accepted such an ignoramus.
@@January.Somebody said he had a TBI. Do you know if it was after he left the military? I’m wondering how much that has changed his cognition, judgement, and impulse control.
As my genius son said: to prison he must go! some people are too stoopid to walk the streets.
He is quick to bring up PTSD, mental triggers, Iraq, and every other issue he can link to himself. But he never called the cops. Total failure of a man. He’s a vigilante, not a hero.
They both planned to reset factory their phones. Thank God the detectives found ALL the emails on her home computers! So glad I watched 48 hours story
All online well there is so much crap taking place between people that think they know who they are texting with
Horrible way James Faith was gunned down then drove back home spent gofundme money EVIL 😈 never should get out!!!
He comes across a little delayed and wants to give an encyclopedia answer to every question....even the most basic
He is a terrible actor!!! He murdered an innocent father and now he has to pay the consequences. How dare he use his military background to excuse himself from murder!!! He is a despicable human!!!!
What's amazing is that he didn't even get physical with her plus she's nothing special.
Mr. Vigilante has no real tears ! He does not convince me one little bit.
God Bless this man for his service. This is what happens when we go to war. Innocent people get ruined for good. SMH. 😢
Boy it looks like he was conned big time. 😱
On the stand making excuses for murder ? Nice try dude ….
Has she had her trial?
Yes. Guilty LWOP
She pled guilty.
Coward pled
That man is an honorable person. I know him very well. He was a great medic. He saved many lives in the army, including One of my friend got shot in the chest. If it was not for him that guy would’ve not be with us today that man is not a killer. They should put that woman in jail forever for playing with this man God bless you, brother justice will be served. I know you didn’t mean to kill that man. If you would’ve known she was lying to you. I know that for sure God is my witness.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Amazing what sex and money can result in - murder
He is an awful liar...not very good at it
I love true crime & following the character, which usually disappears after a couple or 3 years leaving behind the real person but this seems to depend on if they are down south or maybe Florida where they're likely to take a deal or face Death Row, but in Cali, Mass, NY & even parts of Illinois like Chicago, where the leadership is so soft on crime coz they need the black vote, these killers often go to trial & unless it's an extremely gruesome case, the odds are stacked against the D.A. simply coz the jury is usually nearly all black & some don't care about the evidence. That's sad. But then those same voters who elected that D.A. blames guns or conservatives, anyone but the people they voted for & the gangs, for the problem in their neighborhood.🤦🏻♂️
Jamie was such a horrible person but she did not mind him being around her daughter. In fact I should say their daughter as Jamie adopted her.
Hes damaged from iraq and is not in sound mind in my opinion
Most definitely he has untreated mental illness he was in a vulnerable state
He knows right from wrong! He fell for the okie dokie and decided to murder!
Has he seen a recent picture of the woman he killed for?
Had no problem spending the GoFundMe $$$$$$
The little kermugin has no excuse to commit murder.
Justice for James Faith and family is a degrace to the Military
He coulda rescued her in many other ways ….beside killing him…
I like to lie to many humans
What happened to Jennifer in all this, did she get charged?
pleaded out. she got life with no parole
I like eggs at IHOP in Tucson
This is the biggest BS l have ever heard ! Both are fantasy nuts 😮
I LOVE 🇺🇸 LONG LIFE USA 🇺🇸
I see zero remorse
guilty. no brainer.
If the threat was imminent: call the cops. Theyre closer.
Fake tears!!!!!
Such a poor actor.
