The 911 call dispatcher was incredible. So kind so patient.
It made me cry. The fear and panic and confusion of the students was so palpable 😢
Dang I hardly ever cry but the 911 call had me tear up. And stone-cold Nancy just sits there like a fool.
This is the worst positioned courtroom I’ve ever seen. Why is the defendant so close to the witnesses! Awkward and bad form to put people thru 🤦🏻♀️
What about the judge when he was clacking away on the keyboard? I thought it was the court reporter.
She was very close, and looking at her over her glasses as she walked up. I could see how this could be very intimidating for witnesses
Probably due to positioning of camera in the way that catches everything EXCEPT Jury?
The students were amazing trying to save his life and working together. You can tell they really cared about him. I wish they had been able to save him.
Agreed 💯 I felt so bad for the employee on the stand reliving all that when they found Dan shot to death on the floor...the CPR etc. I would have been a basket case. Kudos to her and the other students of the cooking school 👍
He'd been shot in the back and paralyzed. Then shot in the heart. There was no way he was able to be saved, but even if he had, being left without the ability to tend his garden and his chickens would have destroyed him.
The 911 operator was awesome, very professional and compassionate and sensitive
You have taken the life of a loving husband and forever changed the lives of many others that had to deal with the scene. Awful woman.
This first witness, the student, she's so caring and awesome. She kept her wits about her in the moment to do her best for the hurt person but you can tell now how much it affected her.
Agreed 💯 I felt so bad for her. What a thing to go through. 👍
Her lack of emotion, alone, is going to be what convicts her. You know the jury is watching her every movement.
And, when you are staring your MIL down, staring at various witness with a stink eye, including S-son, and not shedding one tear when the witnesses were sobbing out their stories of how they found him. The affect this had on everybody around the murder. She looks like she's gathering writing material for a book.
@tour de dogue You got this so right!
Exactly. She may be a writer, evidently not a very good one. She's no actress either, not even smart enough to act out the grieving widow character.
@@MsSlimFace oh, don't forget - according to her writer friends (did she have any other friends?), she rarely showed emotion at very emotional times. I've never met a writer who doesn't show emotion.
@@tourdedogue4952 I know. Such a phony. One thing to show no emotion, quite another to be so flippant in such a serious situation. Kills husband, on trial for killing husband, and she jokes and she's thinks trying to play off her blabbermouth ways is endearing?? Oh, I'm so confused. Right.
So transparent. Ugh!!
I don’t necessarily agree about the emotion thing. God knows I can’t stand Nancy, but the fact is some people just don’t show emotion.
That defendant is way to close to witness stand
Great observation!
It is freaky. Especially the way she's looking at the witnesses for the prosecution. She looks so evil. Why would Portland put this televised show of a highly-watched grisly murder of interest in a teeny courtroom like this?
I thought the same!! Unnerving 😳
Ikr…awkward
The defense attorney seems to ask a great deal of questions that seem totally irrelevant to anything.... very much like her client.
So the murderer is sitting there watching how her crime affected his students and work colleagues. Heartbreaking for those people. Cold blooded murderer.
She's enjoying it
omg, I can't believe how cold that woman's face is hearing this testimony! This is the first murder trial I've watch that brought me to tears as soon as the witness did. And, I've seen a lot of murder trials.
Nancy said of Clarinda Perez: "His death didn't stop her life. _Her life went on._ She came back to the program, she graduated. She wasn't crying for Dan, she was crying for herself from seeing a dead guy, not cuz Dan Brophy, a man she BARELY KNEW, died."
Yeah Nancy, not like they paid thousands of dollars for this course and wouldn't get a refund for dropping out. Clearly, graduating from the culinary school meant she couldn't POSSIBLY be traumatized. 🙄
Don’t worry. Nancy doesn’t think any of you first hand witnesses were affected
Right? I can't believe her! She was _so angry and offended_ on the stand when reminded that the students were traumatized by Dan's death, as if she's the only one who's allowed to grieve.
She probably thinks if she can kill him and not be upset that they are overreacting. She doesn’t realize she is the weirdo, not them.
In the 8 trillion trial and crime cases I’ve watched, this is the first 911 operator I’ve heard treat the caller with patience and empathy. She should teach a master class!!!❤️
That poor girl.. I feel so bad... Thank goodness for the woman on the phone with her...
When the 2nd witness said she held his hand, that really got to me.
Nancy wanted a life of luxury. Instead, she’s sitting on her old, oversized rear in prison. That makes me happy.
Dan deserved so much better.
I hope she has a cell to herself. Imagine the horror of having to share with her, and having to listen to her go on all day about her “writing career” 😱
@@GradKat - I’m sure prison has aged her tremendously. She must be miserable. Her life with Dan…even with all the financial problems…was much better than prison.
He sure did
Nancy is taking notes for her next novel to be self published in those 4 walls 🏢🔒
“The Wrong Verdict” - about a wrongly imprisoned teal-eyed beauty who breaks out of prison with the help of a shirtless Navy Seal. 🤣🤣
You know what I miss? Ad blockers that work.
Just when you think anyone could not be more evil then Jodi Arias, her comes Nancy telling you to hold her beer.
Such odd people. I mean, Jodi’s nuts (or so I think) but to murder your (lovely) partner of 20-odd years for money?
Hold her Starbucks
Don’t you mean hold her “Starbucks Chi TeaDouble Latte.” 😊😂
Emotional testimony from the first two witnesses, who were present when the crime was discovered.
I'm just watching now, and am on the first one. Wow...👏👏👏. Amazing reaction to crisis.. She is obviously devastated, but at the time, she was focused and in control. That is amazing. One of the most efficient 911 calls I've heard.
These poor witnesses, my heart goes out to them.
A lot of unnecessary questions, both sides asking as if they are qualifying scientists that are going to talk about DNA.
strangers are emotional about murder victim & crying while re-counting the event but this crazy rambling GREED is “novelist” ……. one word - CRAZY ….maybe she can plea insanity defense
If that was my husband she talking about I would not be able to stop crying
No I wouldn’t, either.
So sad. what is wrong with people. too much of this shit goes on.
"Romance novelist." That's freaking HILARIOUS! 😂
The Some Other Dude Did it Defense. Hmmm, not gonna work here.
More grief from the students than the murderer.
audio sorted great thanks
I noticed before the first break of the afternoon that The defendant came back with her mask on. I bet her lawyer told her she comes across as entitled by being the only one without a mask
I think the difference was that she was seated close to the witness box, within the 6ft. Versus opening statements when lawyers had their backs to her.
All these doors and the lounge , chefs and professors ……this is the real life version of the board game , CLUE !
I would nvr be able to be calm in that situation
Why can't defense counsel get up to ask what she wants about the map and point to each location on the map that she's referring to, instead of directing verbally ?
Hell if I know, the prosecutor did so several times. Guess she's just lazy.
Wonder if the widow got emotional as this witness did
Short answer, only when it benefitted her story.
Why do both sides ask such stupid questions. Think of how many are affected by her one selfish actions.
Where’s the rest of the day’s? Day 2?? You say full coverage of trial but a day is missing.
yes it is
@@Traceishere where?
@@Traceishere Where? It's not on youtube. This channel has the worst management I've ever seen!
@@mcsquared1987 you can go to court tv and watch the whole trial
Where is day 2? Can’t seem to find it.
I can't find it either, it's so infuriating! Whoever runs this youtube channel is nine kinds of incompetent.
I'm guessing showing Chef Damon on the surveillance cam is a precursor to when they show Nancy's van, but that just creeps me out (capturing her getting off the bus).
what in the world is the defense line of questioning by defense attorney of former OCI instructor Dorothy Sadie Damon -- the cooler, the garage door open to the storeroom, the door to trash bin, the mystery room, access of the ceiling, condo shared wall, locks and doors, etc. -- also "live fire day" and students judged by a chef -- the day of the shooting was a "iive fire day" -- -- again what in the world is the defense line of questioning by defense -- who shot the chef? could it be a student, a stranger, a ________ , someone hiding -- in pantry, etc. -- besides all of that -- defense trying to create "reasonable doubt" -- "waffle iron" what's up with that? -- stolen == oh that's it - theft
I think the scientific term is "throwing s##t to the wall to see what sticks" :P
I wonder as well because if she’s getting to someone could be hiding in a closet or restroom while she’s here and there, why not just ask that? I feel sorry for Ms Damon that she walked into the kitchen and didn’t see him even though she wouldn’t have been able to save him.
The defense is utterly incompetent. I can't STAND her!
Blame the homeless people 😒
i know right.
Yep! Enough of them down there. The door was always locked and he would have opened the door for her.
@@tourdedogue4952 good point! It’s ridiculous to consider the homeless when nothing went missing!
If it was the homeless person he/she would’ve taken his wallet and anything of value.
@@whatchamacallit70 they would have eaten too!
Seriously. I get that ads help you guys out, but holy shit, an ad every 2 minutes? It’s midterm election season too. So every 2 minutes I’m bombarded with political propaganda.
Those typing sounds are unforgivable. Glad they cleared that up eventually.
To think of how she cast judgment on the students because what was it, they’re not really grieving for Dan, they’re just sad for themselves.
If that’s true, then what does that say about you Nancy? You were his wife and you’re barely crying at all, you’re not sad for the loss you suffered? She is so blindly narcissistic. Astonishing.
Where is Day 2? I can't find it anywhere, and that's the day Clarinda Perez testified.
@kgw would you please add Brophy Trial videos in a Playlist? Check out Law and Crime Network, they do a good job organizing videos. Thanks! It makes it easier to watch in a succession! Appreciate it
I asked today too. It hasn't been done yet. I might have to create my own playlist of their videos.
Wished I noticed this comment beforehand. Yep no playlist yet. Lol
Ugh seriously. It's STILL not in a playlist. Whoever runs this channel is nine kinds of incompetent
Hey Nancy, where's your mask?
It was greed for money 💸 driven
And a splash of jealousy
What could Nancy possibly be writing about when the student is testifying about finding her husband dead?
"Better Call Saul."
Too many ads.
Ok wait, she is a Novelist? What did she write Basic Instint? ...
She's walkin
It’s astounding How The faculty member shows much more distress and grief than Nan Bro. Nancy just gives a Hell of a show and enjoys The attention. Like Trump
Someone give that female assistant prosecutor speaking lessons. The way she says “UHHHM!” every other word makes it difficult to listen to her.
1:52:50 back from break
What's with the heavy-duty waffle item?
Why is the witch defense attorney yelling.
I wonder if her face hurts?
Why would it?? I dont understand this statement.
Is it because her cheeks are sagging??
Who's face?
lol
Second witness was shady or really nervous
She was just nervous I would be to if I had to sit up there
I’m sure she was upset and nervous but she said ‘there were other bodies in there’ which is unusual thing to say but probably was due to nerves.
@@CrimeAuditors She does look nervous and still pretty shaken by the event. When she's naming the students, she's clearly remembering the traumatic image of the body of a colleague on the floor, which slips into her speech. I don't see her as shady, but it's easier to read her body language when the cold-blooded killer is sitting right there, unphased by the whole thing.
I think she feels guilt or shame for her emergency response. Some people get focused in extremely stressful situations, like the first witness. The second witness went into full panic mode. Not being able to be of help in an emergency setting must have been pretty traumatizing for her. She seems to be a bit unfocused in her testimony as well: she makes a lot of aasumptions and guesses.
I'm guessing she was just nervous. What I don't get is that Nancy's niece was also nervous, yet everyone keeps saying she's evil.
Maybe he was having an affair? So she killed him before he left her??🤔
an affair? really?
Of course, we're all thinking that. He was a good looking guy and around a lot of women or men. But, it sounds like they didn't pursue that angle. She was always the only suspect.
But what was her motive??
Was it only the life insurance money?
How petty. To take someones LIFE for that =..o(
RIP Dan
@@elishh8173 Well, financial (greed)is one of the biggest motivators for murder. Along with affairs (lust)(wrath), envy.. No doubt she was financially motivated and I'm sure she found his hoarding quite impossible to live with (I would), not that it came up in trial, but you can bet she was tired of it. She wanted to be FREE and RICH. Yeah, horrible horrible person.
Anything is possible. I think she was jealous of him. He had a bigger impact on the community than she ever did.
