This never would have happened if Adam never went to the house. Period he is guilty. I pray for her son. That he never remember's his father's evil. The son was old enough to remember sounds and sight. I ask Our Father to remove all the sounds,sight and fear of this horrible day. Lord I ask that this little boy has a full and loving life. Amen.
The speech she gave at the sentencing was incredible. She's extremely well-suited for her position as a judge and her district is privileged to have her.
If nothing else... Margaret's death was premeditated. He waited for her to come home. She was no threat to him at that moment. Yet, he killed her as soon as she arrived in the garage.
Best line of the cross examination was...”was the cell phone trying to kill you?” What an epic question! 🙌🏼 You’re a monster sir! The true face of evil
PeaceLove &Music with a profile name like yours I’m surprised you even watched this. But keeping it real it’s not like I know you or anything 😂 but yeah this guy is a monster plain an simple the true face of evil I agree!!
Bubba Gump don’t let the name deceive you lol! I’m obsessed with watching trials...looks like you may be too? With a profile name like yours...I’m guessing you’re a fan of shrimp and Forrest Gump? 🤪
Brought to mind the interrogator who asked Nikolas Cruz (of Parkland High "fame") if it was his "demon asking for an attorney?" after watching the kid try to play crazy for an hour before that.
Not one tear shed. I don’t believe his “self defense” story one bit. He was the antagonist. He caused all this. Now Tristan doesn’t have a mom, dad or grandparents.
This guy has a mental jealous rage ... he is a father that should have never been a father .. he is the walking devil to the beautiful Brown Family... may they all Rest In Heaven 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Yes the prosecutor is yelling and keeps saying right. A lot of people are commenting on that. It aggravates some of them. But that’s what he’s trying to do. Aggravating the murderer so much that he trips him up,makes him mad so we can see his true personality.
I know murder is serious matter.....but loved the Prosecutor's 'so you confronted Megan with a knife in your hand' What did you intend to do....make a sandwich? cut some cheese?' reminiscent of Juan Martinez's cross of Jodi Arias1
God bless Juan Martinez & this prosecutor.....how are they supposed to behave when they've lying, manipulative defendants to question & establish the truth with to get the justice needed. I dont believe theyre bullying or badgering at all. This guy is magic with this defendant, he sees right thru him:) !!
“After what happened”- instead of- “ after I killed them”- takes no responsibility whatsoever. He is emotionless. No one is in there. He’s gone! “The experience was difficult for me”
Calling what this man did selfish is putting it lightly. Selfish? No. See, selfish is wanting something all for yourself...or not sharing your food or drink with someone who is hungry or thirsty. When you kill four people in cold blood with your kid in the house and then move into the place, that goes way, way, WAY past selfish. That's something else. IT'S EVIL! It is so evil, there's not even a word for it.
I love this judge! She is not letting this defense attorney get away with anything! She is sustaining every objection the state has raised! Most of those questions by the defense are questions that, if answered by the defendant, might invoke some compassion for the killer, or make him seem “more human”. Not today, Satan!!
Ppl don't put trash bags over dead ppl's heads in genuine self-defense cases. Unless the defendant is a cop with experience testilying, one should not testify.
J Honey i know, id never had allowed this fucker to ever move in with my daughter in my house. I was a single mom so it was my job to protect our home. Now shes grown up. But we went thru some doozies. There are some kids you must step in that choose bad men when still young but making life changing decisions
This is what happens when u get a posesive person ..He's a sociopathic murderer .who couldn't stand his girl freind was over him..JUST FRY HIM .OMG 4 lifes gone .
I would say that this testimony kept him from getting a death sentence. And the fact that the child survived. I live less than 10 miles from where this crime took place. The whole community was rocked by it.
if i were a a juror i would have voted for the death sentence...i dont think taking the stand "humanized" him, if anything you can feel how scary it must have been for the victims to try and rationalize with someone as cold and deranged as he was
The way he decribes being attacked by three people at the same time makes me think they were all frozen and he was directing who did what to him. This guy has no sense of reality.
No defense opening video??? What happened???? Even IF his version is true, Nicholas and Margaret were premeditated. And, over the days he left a 4 yo alone in a house full of bodies. Death penalty for that alone
The Fact Matos OWN attorney did Zero redirect says they KNOW Matos was lying and they don't want to be seen by the court as suborning perjury. This is why all the questions asked on direct were done to provoke a narrative response. They could not be a part of Matos' lies but they would let him on his own tell his lies
@Cate Ellington Thanks to your comment, I learned the word suborn (verb meaning to bribe or otherwise induce someone to commit an unlawful act such as perjury). Thanks!
Michael Bargo's attorneys did the same thing when he insisted on testifying in his own "defense" (quotes since he didn't do anything positive for himself by testifying).
Yeah I think a lot of defense attorneys do that, they know their clients are guilty most of the time and may even secretly find a way to get their client to confess.
This whole strategy was to get him life vs death penalty. They knew he’d be found guilty, they just wanted to find a jury member who wouldn’t vote death.
If there was EVER a jury verdict for the DEATH PENALTY here it is. SHAME on the jury! What a shameless socio/psycho. Using"Tristen" as his excuse; no doubt he'd kill him to save his in a ❤-beat
I said the samething, why wouldn't this guy get the death penalty? It was 1 juror that voted for no to death penalty, shame on that juror!!! This was a horrific murder!
REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYBODY THINKS HE LOVES HIS SON.....THE SON'S MOM WAS OUT UNTIL 5 IN THE MORNING,WITH A GUY SHE HAD BEEN INTRODUCED TO ABOUT A MONTH OR SO BEFORE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN AD AND AND HIS SON'S MOM...AT THIS TIME I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM....I KNOW HE DID NOT LIKE THAT THIS GIRL WAS WITH THIS OTHER MAN AND HE PROBABLY DID NOT KNOW....BUT I DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY....THE GUY WANTED TO SHOOT HIM.WHEN THEY WERE STRUGGLING..and the girl told her father to kill Adam
@@floweragarcia4377 so because she was out she deserves to be dead .he might be saying some stuff to just look better..so whatever you are saying seems silly
What kills me about this case is that in reality the defense won. This whole sham of him killing in self defense meant nothing. His lawyers knew he’d be found guilty. It was all about saving him from the death penalty. If they could sway the jury and get life that was their goal and that’s what he got. At the end one jury voted against death penalty so in essence Adam won. Although in my opinion life w/o parole is worse. Not as many appeals etc. He just gets to stay in general population till he dies or gets shanked.
John Jay I’m sure the situation got out of hand very fast His wife well may have grabbed at the knife and hurt herself initially I get the sense that once he heard the wife screaming “shoot him..kill him” to her father, the defendant got very angry & very desperate and went about killing them all Very sad for the little 4 year old who now has no parents and no grandparent Bless his innocent heart
@@RK-su4hs The "situation got out of hand very fast" the night before when she sustained defense wounds from his attempted knife attack. He still went back the next day despite knowing 911 was called, by his own words he states he remained outside all night watching the house. He waited until the mother returned from work, although, he's given a couple of different accounts about this....& you've only his word that she was yelling "shoot him....kill him" . I believe its reasonable to believe this guy plays fast & loose with the truth.....also,hes had about 3 yrs? to get his story down pat. His story doesnt fit with the evidence at the scene/s at all, not even close as a matter of fact.
@John Jay Thankyou for your comment.Your sense of humour is brilliant ....but would appreciate it if you'd put forth your thoughts too re that matter....not necessary though, dont want to wreck that humour :)
Yeah because we ALL just grab knives for NO reason! We, humans, innately FEAR 🔪's. I, like most, are less afraid of guns than knives 100% and wouldn't EVER GRAB the sharp end of a 🔪 unless it's life or death
Exactly. But sociopaths and psychopaths lack the ability to comprehend how normal people act in situations of terror- so in his mind he thinks all he needs to do is make up some obviously bad lies and the jury will buy the bullshit. Epic Fail. But one can also see how people he was around in his youth helped make him into who he is today. That idiot of a Godmother who thinks any woman would be grateful to be w Matos, says she's only familiar w the most superficial of human beings. To me this dude screams 'I am NOT Right'.
Cate Ellington -- Yep. It's quite scary to think of just how many individuals (of any gender, race or nationality) dwell among us that have just the type of psychological issues that you spoke of.
Patty regardless of how defendants behave they are criticized and condemned If he had been emotionally expressive you would have said it was fake All of this changes nothing for the better in our society You might consider lookin up the definition of psychopath in DSM6 He does not fit the profile The key to stopping these kinds of horrific crimes is “changing the gun laws”
Matos the murderer has NO soul. Poor baby Tristen was just his pawn & had he done ANYTHING slightly wrong, he'd have been victim #5. I pray that he goes on to a happy, healthy childhood free from this monster. When he's a well adjusted, successful grown up, if asked he can say, "Matos WHO?"
Guy looks blank and speaks emotionless but I can only imagine when his buttons are set off how evil and brutal he could be, like the day he killed these people, these types are often disconnected and come off void of emotions, but underneath they seethe with rage and anger when set off. Audio is off. Just awful story, with a hammer UGH, he should have his heat put trash bag and hit with a hammer over and over... Good Grief
@Flower Agarcia Being honest about feeling threatened enough to use lethal force against his son's unarmed grandmother, whom he ambushed upon her arrival at the home filled with the dead bodies of her family? Unlikely.
The fact that the dad had a bad back and that's the first place Adam aimed for. For some reason that bugs me. He was clearly in a rage and full of hate and revenge. The hammer attack is absolutely wicked, vile and evil as well
AND i am NOT a violent person. I am a mother of 2 and teacher if 18 years....BUT i hope he gets a little beat-up and he suffers Many years. Just saying. Someone shake him! (And let me watch-_- )
I seriously doubt Tristan was sleeping all this time. Tristan probably saw everything he did and then was locked in his room. As he went out, shopping, partying, talking with neighbors, cleaning the house, disposing of items and his murder victims. Poor Tristan was probably locked in his room.
I really carnt believe all the laughing and joking off this judge Wot with there being 4 people Slaughtered , she has been laughing and joking all the way through the trial
He said how much he loved the son and he was locked in a room some love for that poor I read he was adopted. This stupid man has killed a whole family and he will get death or die in prison absolutely senseless madness. Why???
Home alone with dead bodies and the stink the poor child how did this guy eat pizza and wings while there were dead bodies in the house my god this is so disgusting the fact that he stayed in the house why didn’t he grab Tristan and get the hell out of that house
Ugh you guys are so right.I just cant wrap my head around this horrible crime. Also to mention this poor child is AUTISTIC. 😓😓 I cant even imagine what that baby went through. My heart breaks everytime i think of Tristan. I came back to this little documentary because i just watched a new one they put out a couple month ago!. I truly hope adam is tormented at every moment with every breath i take!!
What's with all these boring ass meaningless questions? "Were you cold that morning" "Yes" "Were the dogs big or small" "All small" "How were your bowel movements that day?" "Quite solid but somewhat runny towards the end of the day"
This monster sounds like Superman because all the bullets can't heat him! Who is going to believe that. Just in Charles Bronson and Bruce Willis movies. Oh Lord!!!
VERY interesting how ALL his family has LEFT the courtroom during cross examination. Were they there during direct? Did the family want to make sure they don't learn the ugliness of Adam? Yeah.
He has no love at all for that child but thought he could use him to excuse or explain his actions so he could appear to have feelings and concern for him. If he had any feelings for his child he would not have murdered his mother. Pos does he really think this is believable? He planned to kill them all.
I live in Florida and never heard of this case. It’s horrific. How can some defense attorneys take cases like this? There wouldn’t be enough money in the world to compel me to defend him.
shirleysue228 HIT THE "" NAIL. """" n NOT PEOPLE RITE ON The Head🙇🏽‼️‼they where gonna Kill Me, Yer Her Too,‼️‼️‼️‼️🙇🏽Terrible When EVERY1s trying to Kill Ya isn't It "EVERY BODY"" ‼️‼️‼️‼️⁉️⁉️⁉️🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍾
Prosecutor did an amazing job. IMO he deserved the death penalty or to suffer the same fate he inflicted on others; & hit over the head with a hammer 🔨 numerous times.
I think they have to do get around some of the pitfalls of testifying, but if the attorney KNOWS it is a lie, they can't suborn perjury, so most attorney's do not ask their client if they did the crime. I would love to see how they craft a defense from start to finish though
I feel sorry for the prosecutor - he’s excited and yelling and hyperventilating but he can’t make a point because the accused has already admitted to everything. At least in the end he finally calms down and goes about asking all the same questions the defense already went over. I suppose he has to appear to be doing something for the money but he could have taken the day off...Mr Matos convicted himself a couple of hours ago.
He does not care, He is only answering his prosecutions answers. They scripted him of course. He is just following the motions. He does not care if he is believed or not.
Tristan wasn't sleeping. According to the family he talks everyday abt the things he saw like "I saw daddy make a wowoo at mommy's face" or how Matos put all the bodies on a truck and "they never came back".
1:01:35 I cleaned a little after a few days of leaving my son alone with his mother’s corpse - sometimes for hours at the time. Oh and some other corpses too. It happens to the best of us.
You just know what his lawyer said to his other defense council,right before the cross examination. “This is going to be bad. Our case is about to go down in flames.”
daisymay2552 No- the problem is he's incapable of coming across credible because of his anti social personality disorder. He doesn't comprehend that his flat affect gives his sociopathic nature away. B
Cate Ellington antisocial my ass stop trying to play psychiatrist and give him all these excuses for his actions he's lying because he wants to not because he doesn't have a choice, it's a jab at the remaining living family that's what abusive Partners do all of their habits and behaviors is strictly to disrespect and hurt those who they're abusing. He's a spineless coward in a wicked man who I was so selfish he couldn't handle being rejected or left alone
He’s looking back & forth between the attorney & the jury. If you watch the other people testifying in this trial, you’ll see they all speak in the same direction. Before some of the witnesses take the stand you can even see the judge specifically instructing them to direct their answers to the jury & not the attorney.
This case is a tragically sad example of how women fall victim to scum like this. Women should be immediately protected at all cost whenever a man assaults her. This woman and her family would have never died if authorities had did a better job. And the young boy who probably witnessed his family being murdered by his father, should have never been "exposed" to this evilness and will most likely be traumatized for the rest of his life by this. Such a sad case.
The defendant didn’t need to purchase a gun! There were 8 hundred in the house already! I can’t believe he said, “I was afraid the police would shoot me for killing those people”. He referred to the woman he “loved”, the man he “loved” as a father, the woman he “loved” as a mother to “those” people. Adam Matos is soulless. One more thing, he said when he got home the evening of August 28th, he did not go upstairs with any weapons, no gun, no knife, no hammer. However, he beat Nicholas with a hammer, upstairs. Where did that hammer come from?
This was an awful crime but there is really no need for the Prosecutor to keep shouting. We are not deaf nor stupid. A raised voice does not give more credibility to a statement. Merely indicates a bully.
Karin Celliers No. Your wrong. It's called being outraged by this POS having the unmitigated GALL to blame the victims for his murdering them. Good lawyers show passion in the way they argue a case. Matos version of events is insulting & despicable. And seriously? The Prosecutor is the bully??? I don't get how some people think.
He looks deranged. Sometimes some of these guys have a "look". He looks crazy. He has a "man playing the role of villain having a flashback of his origin story." He even sounds crazy, imagine if your ex calls you and he has this same tone and flat affect? Don't know for sure, but I would at least strongly consider moving.
You have to be very self centered to believe that everything that happens is about you. Seriously. The defense withheld their opening until the start of their case. It's on the play list further down. Unusual but not unheard of. Wow worst decision ever to testify. He so coldly recounts what he did like he stole a twenty out of someone's purse. If he had taken Tristan and left maybe but nope.
Are you against capital punishment or do you believe he'll suffer more behind bars for life than he would've if he'd had to spend a decade plus on death row, then be executed?
It's amazing to see the self-delusion of some people. In his mind, he isn't sitting there denying things that are demonstrably true and claiming things that are demonstrably false. What a liar. Wow.
Call me crazy but I don’t think he’s telling the truth
Candyman2889 you might be on to something
Malty Melromarc 😂
Ok, since you said to call you crazy, you’re crazy
He is telling the truth....it was self defence...
well,I heard him count from 1 - 10 once & am prettty sure he wasnt lying then :)
This never would have happened if Adam never went to the house. Period he is guilty. I pray for her son. That he never remember's his father's evil. The son was old enough to remember sounds and sight. I ask Our Father to remove all the sounds,sight and fear of this horrible day. Lord I ask that this little boy has a full and loving life. Amen.

"Boy, I've heard some whoppers in my time, but you done just outdid them all."
If ever there was a death penalty case, this was it.
That's what the judge said.
Did you watch the speech she gave him when he was sentenced (to life without parole; only 1 juror didn't vote for DP)?
Well there's been a lot more than this
This judge is impressive. She presents herself in a fair and very impartial light.
The speech she gave at the sentencing was incredible.

Agree! there's no getting out of that one & he's clearly lying.Ive just heard about this case recently, its horrifying!.

They all were premeditated. This is evident because like you said he waited for her then bludgeoned her. Then went on the his wife and so on

My goodness does he think anyone will believe him. No emotions at all psychopath😡
Debbie Brace yes, lacking emotion. And he is such a bad actor.
Exactly. But sociopaths and psychopaths lack the ability to comprehend how normal people act in situations of terror- so in his mind he thinks all he needs to do is make up some obviously bad lies and the jury will buy the bullshit. Epic Fail. But one can also see how people he was around in his youth helped make him into who he is today. That idiot of a Godmother who thinks any woman would be grateful to be w Matos, says she's only familiar w the most superficial of human beings. To me this dude screams 'I am NOT Right'.
Cate Ellington -- Yep. It's quite scary to think of just how many individuals (of any gender, race or nationality) dwell among us that have just the type of psychological issues that you spoke of.
Patty regardless of how defendants behave they are criticized and condemned
If he had been emotionally expressive you would have said it was fake
All of this changes nothing for the better in our society
You might consider lookin up the definition of psychopath in DSM6
He does not fit the profile
The key to stopping these kinds of horrific crimes is “changing the gun laws”
I'm just glad he didn't kill or physically injure his 4 year old boy. At least there's that.
Omg...really dude? His arrogance is the end of him....
Thankfully, it really was!
Although he probably would've been convicted _without_ his BS testimony, taking the stand certainly didn't help him.
Did he say 20 dogs? WTF
puppy mill
Bloody hell. He is one cold fish.
Loretta Moon many similar people in prison where he will be spending his life
Mary Lee and you are going to volunteer
And wear your 5”red stilettos heels while you do:)
Matos the murderer has NO soul. Poor baby Tristen was just his pawn & had he done ANYTHING slightly wrong, he'd have been victim #5. I pray that he goes on to a happy, healthy childhood free from this monster. When he's a well adjusted, successful grown up, if asked he can say, "Matos WHO?"
Guy looks blank and speaks emotionless but I can only imagine when his buttons are set off how evil and brutal he could be, like the day he killed these people, these types are often disconnected and come off void of emotions, but underneath they seethe with rage and anger when set off. Audio is off. Just awful story, with a hammer UGH, he should have his heat put trash bag and hit with a hammer over and over... Good Grief
I THINK HE IS BEING HONEST...HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT HE DID....HE WAS ANGRY BECAUSE HIS WOMAN WAS MESSING WITH THE OTHER GUY...
.
@Flower Agarcia
Being honest about feeling threatened enough to use lethal force against his son's unarmed grandmother, whom he ambushed upon her arrival at the home filled with the dead bodies of her family? Unlikely.
@flowergarcia4377 Another female falling into a narcissist's world of lies and deception. Smh
I am beginning to hate the word 'exposed' after listening to him! I wonder how many times he said it?
🤣🤪
The fact that the dad had a bad back and that's the first place Adam aimed for. For some reason that bugs me. He was clearly in a rage and full of hate and revenge. The hammer attack is absolutely wicked, vile and evil as well
Yep. I’d vote for massive heart attack or gunshot to the back of the head unbeknownst to me🤷🏼♀️
Facts @ Stella
This guy must think he is Rambo with that BS story and he obviously thinks people are extremely gullible and will believe extremely ridiculous story.
Desperation strikes. A further insult to the victims and their families.
According to him, all 4 people trying to kill him at same time but he managed to kill them all first??? Ridiculous!
This is a monster he the worst of the worst devils 😈
You rock Judge Handsel
She did a great job!
Especially the speech she gave Matos directly upon his sentencing.
It was intense!
Waste of space! SERIOUSLY .... shut him up and do to him what he did! Ugggg....Enough already.
AND i am NOT a violent person. I am a mother of 2 and teacher if 18 years....BUT i hope he gets a little beat-up and he suffers Many years. Just saying. Someone shake him! (And let me watch-_- )
I'm pretty sure the only reason to pull a knife IS to hurt someone
I seriously doubt Tristan was sleeping all this time. Tristan probably saw everything he did and then was locked in his room. As he went out, shopping, partying, talking with neighbors, cleaning the house, disposing of items and his murder victims. Poor Tristan was probably locked in his room.
What??? No, it was his testimony "Daddy killed Mommy"... he saw the whole thing!!!
I REALLY DON'T THINK THE CHILD WATCH ....
EVERYTHING...HIS FATHER TOLD HIM TO STAY IN THE ROOM
@@floweragarcia4377 makes sense
I really carnt believe all the laughing and joking off this judge Wot with there being 4 people Slaughtered , she has been laughing and joking all the way through the trial
It’s a job.. she does this daily and prob for over a decade. It’s just a job.. z
I love this channel.
People always come up with these crazy stories when they have killed all the people who could refute it...ie. Jodi Arias
This dude buries himself hardcore
Wow that 4 year old sleeps a lot, and i guess he thought as long as the child was sleeping, he could just leave him home alone ooookay for hours!!!!
He said how much he loved the son and he was locked in a room some love for that poor I read he was adopted. This stupid man has killed a whole family and he will get death or die in prison absolutely senseless madness. Why???
Home alone with dead bodies and the stink the poor child how did this guy eat pizza and wings while there were dead bodies in the house my god this is so disgusting the fact that he stayed in the house why didn’t he grab Tristan and get the hell out of that house
If he didn’t want Tristan exposed why did they stay in that house this guy is a sad case
Ugh you guys are so right.I just cant wrap my head around this horrible crime. Also to mention this poor child is AUTISTIC. 😓😓 I cant even imagine what that baby went through. My heart breaks everytime i think of Tristan. I came back to this little documentary because i just watched a new one they put out a couple month ago!. I truly hope adam is tormented at every moment with every breath i take!!
@Nisva Huskic
I didn't know there were documentaries about this case. How interesting!
Do you remember the name(s)?
What's with all these boring ass meaningless questions?
"Were you cold that morning" "Yes"
"Were the dogs big or small" "All small"
"How were your bowel movements that day?" "Quite solid but somewhat runny towards the end of the day"
😂😂
He probably drugged that kid to sleep.. so sad
This man is truly a demon in a human body. He is beyond being called a human being .
He is what EVIL looks like.
This monster sounds like Superman because all the bullets can't heat him! Who is going to believe that. Just in Charles Bronson and Bruce Willis movies. Oh Lord!!!
VERY interesting how ALL his family has LEFT the courtroom during cross examination. Were they there during direct? Did the family want to make sure they don't learn the ugliness of Adam? Yeah.
He has no love at all for that child but thought he could use him to excuse or explain his actions so he could appear to have feelings and concern for him. If he had any feelings for his child he would not have murdered his mother. Pos does he really think this is believable? He planned to kill them all.
I live in Florida and never heard of this case. It’s horrific.
How can some defense attorneys take cases like this? There wouldn’t be enough money in the world to compel me to defend him.
Everyone deserves a competent defense.
If they are guilty the jury will hopefully see through the “if the glove doesn’t fit, you must aquit “ defense
They had no choice. Good ole public defenders
It sounds so obviously scripted.
No thought, by Matos, with each question, just quick answers.
I'm only a half hour into this, but I, anyway, think the prosecution is going to slaughter this man.
shirleysue228 HIT THE "" NAIL. """" n NOT PEOPLE RITE ON The Head🙇🏽‼️‼they where gonna Kill Me, Yer Her Too,‼️‼️‼️‼️🙇🏽Terrible When EVERY1s trying to Kill Ya isn't It "EVERY BODY"" ‼️‼️‼️‼️⁉️⁉️⁉️🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍾
shirleysue228 there is no need for delayed consideration when one tells the truth
@@RK-su4hs is he your boyfriend or something?
Prosecutor did an amazing job. IMO he deserved the death penalty or to suffer the same fate he inflicted on others; & hit over the head with a hammer 🔨 numerous times.
Does the attorney help craft the story?
I think they have to do get around some of the pitfalls of testifying, but if the attorney KNOWS it is a lie, they can't suborn perjury, so most attorney's do not ask their client if they did the crime. I would love to see how they craft a defense from start to finish though
I feel sorry for the prosecutor - he’s excited and yelling and hyperventilating but he can’t make a point because the accused has already admitted to everything. At least in the end he finally calms down and goes about asking all the same questions the defense already went over. I suppose he has to appear to be doing something for the money but he could have taken the day off...Mr Matos convicted himself a couple of hours ago.
He does not care, He is only answering his prosecutions answers. They scripted him of course. He is just following the motions. He does not care if he is believed or not.
Is this a skit from SNL!?
No it's not innocent people got killed by this floridian devil Adam Motos
2 bad the video and audio are not in sync
BlueUnicorn1948 I’m not having an issue
BlueUnicorn1948 -the issue doesn't last long.
This guys testimony nauseates me. Can't listen to it.
Susan Munford Agreed. Sickening.
Tristan wasn't sleeping. According to the family he talks everyday abt the things he saw like "I saw daddy make a wowoo at mommy's face" or how Matos put all the bodies on a truck and "they never came back".
I physically damaged my eye sockets from all the eye rolls I had to perform to survive this bs
1:01:35 I cleaned a little after a few days of leaving my son alone with his mother’s corpse - sometimes for hours at the time. Oh and some other corpses too. It happens to the best of us.
Didn’t want my son to be exposed to some of the blood. You know. Days after murdering his mom and loved ones. Very important to me.
Killed 5 people in self defense. Un fathomable Evil
Knilja *4
I find serial killers have no emotion and no remorse.
Too bad they didn't kick this guy out before they moved to Florida to start over. Should have left him behind. He brought ZERO to the table.
You just know what his lawyer said to his other defense council,right before the cross examination. “This is going to be bad. Our case is about to go down in flames.”
Reminds of Mike Bargo's poor attorneys being forced to stand by as he testified.
No, the defense knows that the evidence is overwhelmingly against the defendant. They still have a job to do though.
He is not even trying to get off.
daisymay2552 No- the problem is he's incapable of coming across credible because of his anti social personality disorder. He doesn't comprehend that his flat affect gives his sociopathic nature away. B
Cate Ellington antisocial my ass stop trying to play psychiatrist and give him all these excuses for his actions he's lying because he wants to not because he doesn't have a choice, it's a jab at the remaining living family that's what abusive Partners do all of their habits and behaviors is strictly to disrespect and hurt those who they're abusing. He's a spineless coward in a wicked man who I was so selfish he couldn't handle being rejected or left alone
Why does defense say ‘yes sir to the judge
Every time he is being asked a question he can happily make eye contact but as soon as he starts speaking he looks away. Notice that?
He’s looking back & forth between the attorney & the jury. If you watch the other people testifying in this trial, you’ll see they all speak in the same direction. Before some of the witnesses take the stand you can even see the judge specifically instructing them to direct their answers to the jury & not the attorney.
This delay is driving me crazy
Liar, liar pants on fire!
This case is a tragically sad example of how women fall victim to scum like this. Women should be immediately protected at all cost whenever a man assaults her. This woman and her family would have never died if authorities had did a better job. And the young boy who probably witnessed his family being murdered by his father, should have never been "exposed" to this evilness and will most likely be traumatized for the rest of his life by this. Such a sad case.
He should have gt the death penalty
Definitely!
His testimony is laughable
True lmao
The defendant didn’t need to purchase a gun! There were 8 hundred in the house already! I can’t believe he said, “I was afraid the police would shoot me for killing those people”. He referred to the woman he “loved”, the man he “loved” as a father, the woman he “loved” as a mother to “those” people. Adam Matos is soulless. One more thing, he said when he got home the evening of August 28th, he did not go upstairs with any weapons, no gun, no knife, no hammer. However, he beat Nicholas with a hammer, upstairs. Where did that hammer come from?
Nicholas mother during her impact statement was a carpenter, maybe he brought the tools and didn’t want to leave them in his car.
This was an awful crime but there is really no need for the Prosecutor to keep shouting. We are not deaf nor stupid. A raised voice does not give more credibility to a statement. Merely indicates a bully.
Karin Celliers No. Your wrong. It's called being outraged by this POS having the unmitigated GALL to blame the victims for his murdering them. Good lawyers show passion in the way they argue a case. Matos version of events is insulting & despicable.
And seriously? The Prosecutor is the bully??? I don't get how some people think.
Purely an American trait!
@@kimmbrent2176 not just a American trait. I've watched plenty of lawyers in other countries do the same thing.
It's the job of the prosecutor to cross examine the defendant. In other words take their previous comments and attempt to tear them apart verbally.
Yea he was obnoxiously loud
He looks deranged. Sometimes some of these guys have a "look". He looks crazy. He has a "man playing the role of villain having a flashback of his origin story."
He even sounds crazy, imagine if your ex calls you and he has this same tone and flat affect? Don't know for sure, but I would at least strongly consider moving.
He believes his own lies as if it were the actual story.
You have to be very self centered to believe that everything that happens is about you. Seriously. The defense withheld their opening until the start of their case. It's on the play list further down. Unusual but not unheard of.
Wow worst decision ever to testify. He so coldly recounts what he did like he stole a twenty out of someone's purse. If he had taken Tristan and left maybe but nope.
What are the possible benefits (and/or drawbacks) of holding back their opening?
Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Bitten by a spider in jail? ... Go Judge
State very smart in his black suit, but the suit does not go with his brown shoes
Why is the prosecutor yelling? Ugh. It's irritating
@@JabberJawz. Are you yelling at me? 😂
I'm actually glad he didn't get The Death Penalty
Are you against capital punishment or do you believe he'll suffer more behind bars for life than he would've if he'd had to spend a decade plus on death row, then be executed?
Anyone who believes this man is crazy
Julian Kruger this is painful to watch because it’s so obvious he is lying. So sad for his son
There is NO F*CKING way I could sit there!!!!!!!!
I hate videos that are off sync especially when it can be corrected without taking the video down, beggars can't be choosers
It's amazing to see the self-delusion of some people. In his mind, he isn't sitting there denying things that are demonstrably true and claiming things that are demonstrably false. What a liar. Wow.
Is this a freakin’ JOKE?!?!?
They. Didn't. Want. Adam. Around. No. More
Why doesn't this one have the defense opening statement?
Sharon Busbee its under a different heading "defense opening statement"
Oh, he didn't rehearse his testimony at all. Probably chainsmoked while he was rehearsing all day.
😂
