Happening in Court:
Prosecution Closing Arguments
Defense Closing Arguments
A man is on trial for allegedly murdering his wife and kids, and killing the family dog. Anthony Todt, 44, stands trial in Osceola County, Florida. Opening statements are scheduled to begin Monday, April 11, at 9 am ET.
Todt, a physical therapist who worked in Connecticut and lived in the Sunshine State, allegedly killed wife Megan Todt, 42, as well as their three children Alec Todt, 13, Tyler Todt, 11, and Zoe Todt, 4. He even slew the family dog Breezy.
Federal authorities had been seeking him at the time, saying he charged Medicaid for unworked hours. Naturally, a fraud case pales in comparison to the grisly state prosecution for four counts of first-degree murder, and one count of cruelty to animals. With that in mind, federal prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss without prejudice because they did not want to stand in the way of Florida officials. They can refile later.
The family also faced eviction from their home in a case filed Dec. 22, 2019, just weeks before deputies found defendant Todt at the residence with the bodies.

Investigators say Anthony Todt confessed to the killings in interviews shortly after his arrest. Though a judge suppressed an early portion of that because a detective failed to give a proper Miranda warning, the admission of guilt is ultimately making it to trial because Todt allegedly kept on talking to authorities, repeating the confession in a follow-up interview.
Associate Medical Examiner Jennifer Nara found the deaths to be homicide, though she could not determine “the exact mechanism of death,” and had to rely on the alleged confession and other circumstances in her decision.
Defendant Todt walked back that confession. He blamed his wife for the killings in a letter to his father, according to the document obtained by The Orlando Sentinel from the prosecutor’s office.

I'm surprised she didn't mention the absurdity of his statement that his wife, _in the middle of stabbing herself in the chest,_ had the physical and emotional capacity to say "I'm trying to hit my inferior vena cava". 🤦🏼♀️
😂😂😂
He’s a complete 🤡
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂Comical isn’t it?
I don’t know how he stayed with his dead wife and children for weeks. He spoke about them in such a calm manner. His contempt for the prosecutor was undeniable.
Then he had lots of time, a month, to kill himself. Because wasn’t that the plan?
Poor Zoey. Imagine having this disgusting albatross on top of you while you’re struggling to breathe.
I love this comment!
An Albatross is beautiful, he is a demon!
😭😭
You mean troll.
I’m sorry- I shouldn’t have snort-laughed at this comment
He was going to federal prisin for a long time. He killed them so they could not live there lives without him. He is a monster
This is a great observation. I believe you are right on the money. He wasn’t going to let them live in peace!
I thought he was only looking at 2 years for the insurance fraud. I think his motivation was more the $300000 insurance policy on the wife. She moved to Florida because they were separated. She probably demanded a divorce when she found out about the fraud. But who really knows. He's a coward and will never man up to the truth
Absolutely!! Instead of owning up to a few years in low security federal prison. I had not even considered how angry he would be at the idea of this cowards wonderful, loving family enjoying life while he suffered. He will control nothing, now.
These cases astound me. No one has the right to “control” others. For a man to do anything other than protect his family, is the height of cowardice and evil. Take your own life not the lives of your family, especially your children. These poor children, denied even a chance at life by the person most responsible for nurturing and protecting them. I feel so deeply sad and angry. I would have done anything to save these children had I known what was about to happen to them. As would so many others. How can we be altered to such pending crimes??
It doesn’t sound like the mother was in the right state of mind either. They both got caught up in the end of the world mindset, and it sounds like she spurred on a lot of it. They both are guilty of snuffing their children out in their selfish delusional beliefs.
@@progradepainting3755 agreed
The Mother can’t attest to that day
Best comment ever.👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
When the prosecuting attorney said “he had the courage to kill his 4 year old but not himself” if she finished with that, i believe that if she didn’t say anything else, that statement resonated and would’ve been enough.
If you haven't watched her questioning him at trial, it's about 40 min., you MUST WATCH IT. She's a fantastic prosecutor and had him so angry he pretty much freaked out. I'm going to try to find her in another trial.
RIGHTTT! She’s literally the reason he’s currently under the prison
link please
She wasn't that great, she was mediocre at best. It was a pretty much done deal he was going to be found guilty. It could have been amber heard's lawyer, Elaine, and he'd still have gone to prison.
@@QuarantineDreams yeah, anyone who took the case is definitely getting their conviction rating up
@@QuarantineDreams rubbish
I agree with the prosecution's argument almost completely. He realized that his debts and fraud were going to destroy him and up until that point in his life he had ALWAYS had control. Control over his work, his education, his wife .. everything. He thought he was untouchable. When the FBI told him he was looking at prison time he knew his wife would divorce him and his family would leave him behind and move on. His wife who, by all accounts but his, was a wonderful mother would either take refuge with her family or find a new man who wasn't a pompous fraudulent control freak and that thought drove him insane. He saw his wife and children as his trophies for his exceptionalism and he refused to let anything take them away from him no matter what .. and this was how he chose to do it
I think that you nailed it.
good theory!
I think you are spot on!!🙌👍
Good analysis. Just sickening on his part!! His mentality: If I'm going to 'suffer' in jail, I'm going to take them down with me.
When she made a point that it was December, that floored me. Tony kept making the snowbird point to prove that no one would be around but she shut tat down really quick.
Does it even snow in Florida? Why would a snowbird LEAVE the tropical area if the entire point is to GO TO the tropical area? Even in December, the weather there in FL is far better than up north. Makes ZERO sense why he said that.
He should never see the light of day again. I have no empathy here for this monster.
I have no sympathy for him, either.
Funny, he had no empathy either (for his family or anyone in general). I agree with you...what a monster.
I think that was very significant that he said "Megan killed her kids" not his, or their ..really distancing himself from his family..he isn't as smart as he thinks he is
A mute would have been fine at side bar! Blew my ear drums and frightened the life out of me!
I actually think it’s more likely that he stabbed his wife first and left her knowing he was killing their children. He then went back and finished her off.
This prosecutor was very wise. She chose to use restraint because the defendant would clearly hang himself. And we should remember, she won her case. She knew it would happen, but worked to make sure there would be nothing to hinder the trial.
I think the prosecutor was great and her emotions..He just wanted to and talk and..Also, saying" I'm sorry!! He was 2 different people on that stand
That’s a good point. I kept thinking ‘why doesn’t she just go for the jugular!’ But I think you’re right on her handling of it
I'm very proud of my cousin she was the prosecutor in this case. Thank God she helped put this pos away for good. Her life goal was to put people like him where they belong and she did just that.
@@jessicap9402 she showed herself worthy of dealing with the worst, in a professional manner.
I loved how she kept interrupting throughout his testimony, really pushing his buttons, and showing him for his true nature.
The amount of sexist comments under this video is shocking and disappointing. With all the prosecution was saying, all you could remark on was her hair or lack of makeup? Men can show up with messy hair and be praised. She won the case, did her job. Even more disappointing to see fellow women making these kinds of comments. I hope you get freed from the pick me patriarchy mentality.
Her hair is beautiful but it’s not professional.
It’s important to look professional
"That's not an evidence..."
The last words I ever heard... before I went deaf...
I like her pacing. Helps the jury take it all in imo
Me too. Some prosecutors speak too slowly, and it's frustrating, but this lady speaks at a good pace.
Let's have a moment of silence for the lost loved ones in this family of the lords now. 😢 🙏🏿
WHY? Just because he was going to jail for fraud he kills his family? I mean how can you kill the dog like that?
Family Annihilators are ALWAYS so selfish (obviously, narcissist.) I don't think these type of guys ever want a family from beginning. They seethed hatred for them, from the beginning and it grew. Self sabotaging with financing is just an excuse. Many of these behavior issues bleed together' seen it with my own family. Many people are starting to....because now we have more info than we ever had before. Sad as it may be, I would be MORE surprised if he left the dog alive, as the kinda crazy he is, makes NO SENSE, at all.
I just don't see the connection. What do they have to do with each other?
I am happy that they included Breezy death to his punishment for cruelty to animals. RiP to the other Todts
His kids and wife, sure. But the dog?!?! Clearly an evil psycho.
@@psmith9789 He was going to jail for fraud, and he decided that they couldnt be happy while he was in jail so he killed them
Wow! This prosecutor is really effective.
I love the state’s attorney, she’s a beast 👏🏽👏🏽
This Lady surely found her calling in life 👏🏼🤯❤️✅👍 This is not just a job to her.
She reminds me of Mona Lisa
She is a limp washed-out disorganized example of a disorganized professional with no dull and duller instincts and thought processes. Beyond boring.... The jury would probably do whatever necessary to never see her again. She shared the big unlikeability factor with Anthony... His mind was superior though... So nobody bought his temporary mental confusion... Whereas the prosecutor is a totally believable incompetent.
She looks like a beast too, I think she's not good at her job either.
@@seanshields86 she maybe not a very good storyteller, but she sure has her ducks in a row.
Guess he conveniently found the phones in between Starbucks, feeding time, buying air fresheners, taking the mail in, cashing his sons Christmas check and “drinking motor oil.”
This prosecutor is brilliant. Well done, lady
He’s now saying that his wife was responsible for killing the kids and dog my question is given all her health concerns would she have had the strength for all of that and what was the reason for taking all these lives 🤷♀️
I don't think his wife was sick at all. All her family and friends said there was no change in her weight, her health, her level of energy - all that BS came from Tony. The Medical Examiner also said after Megan's autopsy that there was nothing wrong with her heart or her liver (Tony said she had a prolapsed Mitral Valve and had medically induced hepatitis). It's possible she had a slight heart murmur (many people have them and need no medical intervention whatsoever) and it never bothered her at all. There are no photos of her looking frail at 90lbs. She may have had miscarriages, but I think the rest of Tony's story was just that.....a story.
Did the defense attorney back up his story of the wife’s illness? Is it all or is it still just the story other than her family? Did anybody else agree that she was healthy looking etc.? I can’t find this information anywhere
@@cl9949 I can’t really remember the story now that was CD 5 months ago
Prosecutor did a great job in closing arguments
@@barbmurray8557 3.51 is not 4.0. 4.0 - 3.51 = 0.49 which is not equal to ZERO !
@@jetmiway3961 Ok. So? Who would round 3/4 down instead of up???
No. She did not. Awful.
I wonder what his and her text messages were to each other
We know they were fighting b c at sentencing / verdict whatever he says “we reconciled “
And that he didn’t want to be in the dog house again
Would also love to see e mails and highway video / Starbucks surveillance cameras of him etc
I wish the prosecution would have asked him more questions about evidence he broke his neck, more about their separation and what they fought about, her medical records
Setting an alarm for 11:30 makes no sense
Also at one point he says “the Megan was in the bathroom”
And I think he meant to say the body was in the bathroom
They are held to evidence presented by them after they rest - plus any new evidence defense introduces in direct. 🙄🙄 EVERYTHING would have come out if she'd just let him talk but she knew just how to get him to show his true colors. There is SO much more that could have been brought up - I agree - but gosh I'm grateful she kept this short and horrifying.
We all know about the other famous case that's similar to this. How does a mother and her children protect themselves from such monsters like this.
Ps we protect ourselves by not being blind to the obvious red flags. Narcissists can be really manipulative. People can avoid them by making sure the pace of their new dating life goes organically and not rushed. Narcissists like to love bomb in order to get their prey under their thumb. If anyone is professing their love for you within a week or two or first meeting- that’s not cute, that’s terrifying. There is something wrong with them. Those who jump in head first because they think they’re falling in love within a month are the ones that end up being battered or dead wives/husbands later on.
Real love takes time to develop and authentic and healthy partners don’t rush it. My guess is that this dude had all the warning signs and his poor wife just didn’t know any better.
Love this prosecutor ……. Sharp as a tack!!
You know, at first there were some points I thought the prosecutors should have covered, but honestly she made a lot of hard-hitting points. She did a great job overall. 👏🏼
She couldn't cover the finances or the fraud. The judge ruled them inadmissable.
Must have been nerve racking giving a closing on a huge case on national news. This was her super bowl and she played well!
I figured they couldn't bring in the fraud but why didn't they have anyone to contradict the claims about his wife's health problems.
Ms Pernelle--if I have that name right (the chief DA) gives throughout an absolute Masters Class in how to handle a defendant who foolishly makes the decision of becoming a sworn witnesss.
Always they think themselves smarter than anyone else. Always they have a Narrative to relay which they think will prevail with the Jury. Always they are total control freaks.
This DA has every detail of the testimony and facts in evidence AT HER FINGERTIPS. Where she really shines however is the way she wrests (forcefully but somehow gently) control AWAY from Toad at every juncture. She says "OK" in an almost singsong voice as though conceding everything to him--whereas she concedes nothing. She refuses to let him ramble off into the Narrative he is DYING to relay to the Jury. She nails his BS over and over again and in so doing she incites him into more and more barely contained rage--which OBVIOSLY the jury picks up on and it DOES factor in when this Jury is deliberating and deciding, "IS this someone who could murder his entire family".
Finally in both her closings (initial and rebuttal) she sums everything up and doesn't miss a trick in her overall description of him and his conduct. She demonstrates that absolutely none of her questions and strategies during the trial were by chance. She mapped it all out to the mm and executed with perfection.
Do you think it’s mostly narcs who represent themselves or testify in their own trials? I do.

He's sooo in trouble. Ohhhhh! MMM MM!
Brilliant Closing.
Love these women prosecutors, they show how these killers are so transparent
I noticed the " Meagan killed her kids" too. That to me was daming and chilling.
I have watched this many times because I couldn't understand how a father could brutally and senselessly slaughter his entire family. My father was so loving and even retired early so I could graduate from college. He then began second career in law enforcement and retired as a lieutenant. He also was in the army reserve and retired after 20 years as an E-8. There was not one day where my father was selfish and made me or my mom feel like a burden. He loved and protected us fiercely. My heart literally is breaking as I heard this monster description of Megan's health and how he tried to malign her name. This piece of crap didn't value and appreciate his family. I am sure he was a horror to live with and often gaslit them. In my heart I know he was making Megan sick so she could depend on him. If she found out about his fraudulent activity, I'm sure she would have left him. Megan had a supportive family and they saw through Todt's manipulation and jealousy. I just wished she could have had a chance to leave him and enjoy a peaceful life with only "her children".
@@momsdiva71 You'd be surprised how difficult it is for women to leave their narcissistic and abusive husbands, especially and precisely because they have kids. Often it is when they leave that they are at greatest risk of harm. Perhaps she was planning on leaving, and he ended up killing them all. I have a friend who is married to a narcissist and probably won't try to 'get out' until her youngest is 18, which is in 6 years. The toll it's taken on her and their kids has been enormous.
You are very blessed to have the dad you do...this seems like the exception and not the norm.
It's cases like this that should get laws changed. If a family member, close friend or coworkers question the health and welfare of someone the court should allow cops to enter any resident to physically see and talk to everyone in the home to actually do a welfare check.
I’ve even heard cases where they’ve (cops) have clearly seen someone hurt or dead inside and can’t go in if the residence is a rental. That astounded me.
So you’re suggesting we throw out the US CONSTITUTION? yeah no. No one has the right to infringe on another’s property without a warrant or permission from that person. And the state GOT THAT WARRANT and that’s how they got Todt. People who want to willy nilly throw out our Bill of Rights clearly aren’t educated on why they’re there to begin with.
@@Wildreinhorsemanshipthat sounds like BS to me. Source?
@@WildreinhorsemanshipI've literally never heard that if they see a body that's a reason to enter. I would love to see those details.
@@kateashby3066 It is BS. Police need a warrant to enter a home except for exigent circumstances. If there's the odor of a dead body after being called for a wellness check, for example, police are likely to meet that burden if questioned. Seeing someone wounded and pleading for help, never mind an actual corpse inside, would obviously be considered an exigent circumstance. You would need a warrant to actually search the house for evidence though.
I don’t know how his defense attorneys sleep at night!
They let him take the stand.
Those precious children deserved to live
But not his poor wife?
This prosecutor was an absolute pit bull - she bit down on Toad and didn’t let go. However, defense did a good job to hold her own and rep her client. Certainly better than Nancy Brophy’s attorney 😂
Although a lawyer shouldn't have to be energetic, it helps.
Thank goodness that there is so much incriminating evidence that a spirited prosecution is not needed to find him guilty.
She was terrible and now it's ... Deadlocked. Was it her first time doing a closing statement? He is so guilty it's unreal and she has done such a poor job for them to verdict that result. It was like she was so lazy, boring and not clued on this at all. I hope she wont be in the re trial
@@coyotequeen they came back with a verdict. Guilty on all counts
I actually fell Asleep while she was talking. LOL.
@@coyotequeen
They are not deadlocked, where did you hear that?
Guilty of first degree murder on ALL counts including the killing of the family pet.
He's a psychopath !!!
It was deadlocked the judge made the jury go deliberate again Beverly, Thank God it came back guilty. What I want to know was, what was his motive? He had them there weeks why did he not do anything to make it look like a disappearance etc. Or did he really want to kill himself also but could not?
He definitely thinks he's the director of his movie and what he says is the way it has to be.
My ex used to say, “My way or the highway.”
I do not under stand how the jurors can be dead locked please tell me they are not buying his fake tears and stories did they not pay attention to the video and his demeanour on the witness stand
Maybe they all know he is guilty but to what degree.
Deadlock on what? He was found guilty on 4 count’s of murder and 1 animal cruelty. Did I miss something?
@@rafalIL29 Good point maybe I missed something as well .. Is this a retrial? Kindly reply if you or anyone else knows the answer.
@@CIGLLC not a retrial. re. being deadlocked, you would have to know more about criminal trials generally (which I don't) to know about a jury being deadlocked. Remember, in this case they came back early with being deadlocked and when the Judge provided further instructions, they returned to deliberations. So it is possible they misunderstood some of the initial jury instructions.
The insurance fraud as motive? Why is this left out?
ffs the jury better not screw this up..
They're deadlocked 😑
It’s not about the jury messing up-it’s usually the prosecution haven’t done a good enough job.
The jury can only act on the information in front of them, the defence’s job is so much easier - they only have to convince one juror that there is reasonable doubt.
@@Truth1561 It boils down to common sense. What is reasonable & what is not. This wasn't a tough one.
Rolling on the baby a fifteen minute death. Horrific. The Holly Bible says " Woe unto those who would but harm so much as a hair on the head of a child.".
Who cares what the Bible says when you are so desperately inarticulate that you make no sense. Rolling on the baby?
What a poor excuse of a human being.
Come one now. I think the prosecutor wasn't that bad.
Very credible prosecution. The only guilty party is Tony.
If you speed this video to 1.25 the prosecutor sounds like she’s talking at a normal speed. Makes this closing easier to get through. 😂
im always watching at 1.5 as soon as i put it on Normal It sound BIZZARE!
thanks for the tip - its true, she just needed to talk a little faster - makes a huge difference in my level of concentration to stick with her closing argument!
@@walkernyc You arent in the court room. She's speaking like this for a reason.
Wow! You are so right. Thanks for the tip
Wow, thanks.. now it sounds normal..
Guilty as sin
She got a conviction that's what counts
Such a Thoughtful Guy….🤬
This chills me to the core. Psychotic.
This is worse than psychotic, this is pre meditated psychopathic bullsh*t
Instead of criticizing and repeating the Marcia Clarke days, I recommend playing at 1:25 speed - as @ashbash suggested. Really makes a difference and fixes the Prosecutor's issues in her delivery. She just needed to speak faster without the long pauses in between the thoughts being conveyed. Tempo is a huge aspect of getting your point across. Its like keeping the ball in the air.
Thank you so much for the 1:25 suggestion. It helped.
Nail on the head,100% agree.
Omg! That helped so much! Thank you
Wow, what a difference that made!
Where do I change the speed?
Unbelievable, God help us all demented people among us
Unbeknown to him at the time, the being hit by a MackTruck reference was yet to come. Enter the Lady Prosecuter! 👏 ❤ 🇬🇧
I think the prosecutor did an excellent job and should be commended to the highest order for ridding society of this awful person. One think I would like her to examine is her constant use of the word, "OK." She kept saying it in a tone that sounded like some kind of approval or acceptance of the garbage that this person was trying to say. It just sounded awful. Maybe it is just me and this was some kind of strategy but I think it just sends an awful message like OK I agree . Sorry to be critical of someone who has made such a great achievement for the whole society and world. That aside if I could I would give you the medal of honor for using your obvious brains, brilliance and skill to crush this guy.
I actually liked her use of the OK. It was like, "ok, so that's what you are saying," or "ok, keep your cool. Let's move onto the next point." I never heard it as her agreeing with him.
Yep. He WANTS to argue his case. She shut it down. It made him IRATE. His entire time speaking was beyond words. I took so many breaks.
its obvious he suffocated them to which they died, but hes obviously stabbed them afterwards to make sure
Just had moments of silence for this beautiful family. Heaven has these beautiful angels now 😇😇. God bless all families involved.
Guilty case closed
what on earth was that noise where they sand blasting in the court room???
they turned off mikes during judge conference
Prosecutor looks like Margaret Hamilton. I think she’s awesome.
😂
Families of Megan, Tyler, Alec & Zoe, will never know which day their family had to leave this world, together & forever. December 14th thru 18th, will be their longest days of wondering. 🙏 🙏 🙏
14:19 Right after the judge overrules the defense’s objection I can hear them say “f*ck”
They're saying the jury is deadlocked
I can't see this, this monster also killed the dog. What a pos.
Wow: An objection during closing arguments!!!! Crazy....
never thought about that but you are right
Pls try harder to have a good audio quality!!!
At around 22 min In she is talking about December being a prime-time for snowboarding. Does it mean she is saying people are snowboarding in Florida?
Snow birding.
Never free again!!
Exactly.
Never say never I know of a guy that killed 10 members of a family thats out now
So sad...
They got a verdict now!
Good thing Todt is a horrible actor/liar & blatantly guilty! WORST prosecutor ever!!🤦♀️
Oh, my Gawd!
How,and why he did this horrific crime ?!!
Exactly
Greed
We're never really given the reason why he did this. The state claims he wanted "control" which is obviously true..but there's a lot of ppl who are control freaks an they don't wipe out their entire families. What he did was sick..an what..he wanted control of the dog too?? There's more to all this...but you don't murder a 4 year old because you WANT control of her.
It’s Ego. He was about to go to federal prison for insurance fraud. He didn’t want his family to find out/couldn’t face them in that failure. He would no longer be idolized and catered to.
The dog was just part of the outrageous story.
Was there really ANY NEED for a closing argument?
Good job. Let him rot forever in prison.
His testimony had more holes in it than Swiss Cheese 🧀 🙄
How about that apocalypse
His demeanor on the stand was. Questionable
I know compared to murder this is really nothing but if you don't want something heard, why would you put static that loud in a video? is there not another sound that could be used or a mute button.
Elevator music....
This is Horrific
I'm struggling with what charges the jury could have been deadlocked on, when they had reached unanimous decisions on other charges. I hope at least one of them give an interview.
It’s probably for sentencing. Often takes longer than deciding on the verdict.
It's the prosecutor here being just as unlikable as Anthony Todt which is probably why the judge made them deliberate again. "You don't get to ask me questions, I ask YOU questions!" was not a good look. She came across as a total Karen.
@@MelancholyRequiem I can't agree with that. That is ultimately the prosecutor's job - THEY ask the questions. (Caps for emphasis, not to 'shout')
@@MelancholyRequiem Do you know what a prosecutor is?…
@@davidEFF
Very much so, considering my mother was a court reporter and my late father was a sheriff, which is why I got interested in trials to begin with. The original comment stated, "I don't know what charges the jury was deadlocked on." I am speculating the jury was deadlocked because the prosecutor came across as a B and they didn't want to reward her itchy behaviour by taking her side. And she did come off that way. Jurors are not computers. There are reasons both sides have to agree on who the final members of the jury are, and lawyers make billions annually for attempting to read people the right way to sway individuals in their favour before the trial even starts. How many body language RUclips channels exist at this point? I further speculate the judge knew the jurors just didn't like the prosecutor and that's why he ordered them back to deliberations instead of accepting declaring this one a mistrial. Have you served on a jury? The likability* of attorneys is a huge factor. The one I served on took ten minutes to find out we agreed the defendant was guilty and five further minutes asking the bailiff if it would be inappropriate to ask for the prosecutor's business card because she was very skilled at her job. OP asked a question, and I offered my two cents. Why was your assumption that I didn't know what I was talking about when I brought up the prosecutor to begin with and replied again after the fact stating basically everything I am stating here?
"I'll take the blame IF you go to therapy"
How on earth the jury is deadlocked is beyond me....prosecution should have been more prepared...smh
Common sense will basically tell you he did it. He lied to everyone, try to cover up evidence and admitted everything which matched the evidence.
@@bx7054 exactly! I'm glad the judge made them go deliberate again... guilty on all counts
I agree about the prosecutor. I did, however, admire the way she kept her cool & quickly redirected him back to the questions when she cross examined Anthony. He was quite snarky & arrogantly tried to control the questioning. Btw- why is it that the majority of these suspects who say they were gonna kill themselves can't seem to manage it? Especially Anthony who had plenty of practice killing his wife, kids & dog!
Honestly, the prosecution was terrible and it is only Anthony being more unlikable than the D.A. that got him the guilty verdict. Anthony deserves to have to deal exclusively with people like the D.A. but most people would find her extremely aggressive and confrontational attitude towards him off-putting.
Prosecutor looks like she probably has the same kind of personal problems as Anthony in her own life.
This prosecutor is brilliant, she absolutely smashed it.
This is an awfully disorganized closing. Thank goodness the defendant took the stand, because he made a more convincing argument in favor of his guilt than she.
Not enough desk slapping and finger pointing for my taste. Was the autopsy report even updated fml
Is that even allowed in a real court room?
Everybody has the constitutional right. That includes the people that are missing and need to be checked on.
Why would you leave their bodies in their beds? lol Stupidity isn't always a bad thing and I thank God for stupidity.
Believe this either Megan was tired to that bed or he killed her first cuz there's no way he could have gotten to those children
I wondered about that too.
So confusing. So his wife killed them, then he came home to find his wife had stabbed herself?
In 2 years the state didnt get any witnesses or forensic phone evidence to contradict his statements? Did they follow up on the doctors his wife visited? What did relatives know about her ' many medical ailments & religious beliefs'? What led him to do this? I understand the fraud he committed was not allowed in but if it would offer a motive, the judge would have to let it in as it was in the murdaugh case.
What's the motive??? whyyyyyyyyy
he was going to prison for medical fraud the fbi had raided his clinic
We're living in a sick society
It’s just one person. ALL the other people here are good people.
I don’t remember “parents bring their children into the world, so they can decide when they leave the world” being anywhere in or any part of Catholicism. 🤷♀️Guess I missed that part in the Bible.
* Prosecutor is far too confident that his guilt is as overtly obvious to the members of the jury as it is to her. I pray they’re not ignorant, gullible people!
Well after his performance yesterday I dont see how anyone would think this guy is innocent!
His memory loss and change of story and he COULDNT kill himself? Really?!
He's not superman but he says his ridiculous reasons for how it failed and it makes no sense. I'd he really wanted to kill himself he could have done so in a hundred different ways
He has been found guilty on all charges 😁🥂full life tariff no parole. The deadlock was a technical mistake something to do with date on text. Hope he meets big bubba he is evil not mad
Anyone who stays in house with dead bodies of his wife and children, is certainly not innocent. How would he explain not getting help, or calling family. The trial was so short, because he had no defense.
He gave a bunch of other testimony that wasn’t allowed to be heard because it was in the hospital before they read him his Miranda Rights.
Thou shall not kill
2:19 Would be nice if she spoke into the mic
19:00 He killed his family and even the dog. I just can't even ... It's all horrible but there's something about murdering a dog that simply puts it over the top. There's nothing on this planet, not even people, that I feel more compassion for than dogs. They trust us, they are innocent and they depend on us. It's unthinkable
The kids didn't deserve it either. They are just as innocent.
Same. I’m betting the dog was literally going crazy as he was hurting the kids and Megan and he didn’t like her doing that. Freaking coward.
Until they bite someone's face off for no reason -___- what kind of comment is this?
Murdering his dog puts it over the top for you???
Jeeeeez!!!
I feel there could've been a more compelling close. It should've been more pulling on the emotions as she presented the facts, but statements that could've been said to draw out that emotional anger to a man murdering his family were stated, not expressed, in a way that was just other sentences among so many others. Hard to hold on to any of that through the deliberation room when it's not even brought up to boil in the courtroom. She didn'teven have confidence in last sentence: that the jury will find a guilty verdict!! She said it so fast, so mumbly, and walked swiftly away. Wow. Just watch what Stephanie Harlow had to say as she wrapped up her video series on this murder.... it needed to be like that, not like this.
Just remember this is not a TV court drama, where actors/ lawyers and DA's do things that would not be accepted in a real court. She got a guilty verdict on all counts, a good job in my estimation.
Easy to say all this while not being the person in question.
Compare her close to William Brown on the Chandler Halderson case. Now that is a brilliant orator and prosecutor. No shuffling of notes....no hesitation. She she did enough to get the conviction--thank God.
These lawyers are good man. And what a pos he is.
