Dude, it's your voice, your narrative of the story and the small personal snippets or brief emotion you add to the story. You obviously put a lot of background work to get to the point of posting, but for me it's how *you* specifically tell the story that keeps excited about new videos.
it's not that weird for a man or woman to devalue their partners.. if someone puts value on someone inevitably they will devalue them for the same thing..say for example your partner valued you for the way you look, he will devalue you for how you look.
I don’t think he was trying to say it insultingly as that wouldn’t help his cause. I think he was trying to convey she had lost weight to the point of not having any identifiable characteristics of a female form. With that being said, we know it’s a lie and the guy is a piece of shit. I could be completely wrong as well, that’s just how I took it. Went by the house last week while on vacation. Celebration isn’t near as creepy or Edward scissorhands-y as the internet describes by the way.
@@LightningBoltz I don't think so. I think he's just that big of an asshole. He did a LOT of things that didn't help his case. 😂 he was trying to make it sound like "aren't I great for sticking with her even though she became disgusting to me"
Also with no accounts of seeing the shadow creatures people who have actually overdosed on Benadryl have recounted- I don’t think he even took it besides taking it as a sleep aid 🙄
@Kate Howard omg the hallucinations were sooooooo crazy when i OD'd on sleep meds. It was like having nightmares with your eyes open. Or maybe my eyes were closed and i was thinking what i was seeing was real. I cant distinguish the difference.
@SayoSweeti not necessarily just ODing, but if you take a bunch if benadryl or dramamine it makes you hallucinate really bad. But not in Like the fun way such as mushrooms or lsd, its scary and like you're really living it
@@kashinimeyo When I was a teenager I took about half a gram of the active ingredient in benadryl (diphenhydramine) and did have intense hallucinations with things moving in the corners of my vision. It was really unpleasant and the whole "high" is awful. I think the term overdose is being used liberally in this situation if I had to guess.
She proved he felt superior to women. He had a woman on his defense team. I imagine this is why she didn't question him during direct. Also, I felt the prosecution case was a little weak. I was concerned. If Mr Smart Man hadn't testified, he may have been found guilty of a lesser charge, or even acquitted. I'm so happy he convicted himself. He testified Megan was frail, but she had the strength to kill the strong kid, which I believe he said Alek during interrogation, but changed it to Tyler on the stand.
This DA is the QUEEN of "never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake". I think she realised quickly how bad his reactions to her objections were so started to place them where she needed him to look like an idiot.
And what a TONY of a performance that was !!! There were long and short answers with that notable single tear shed amid lashings of tissues to mop it up Shakespeare would be impressed with those eloquent answers, not so much with the yes/no ones BARRING the conclusion, it would seem that acting was never a winner for ye, soooo Exit, stage left
He really didn’t need the DA’s help to look and sound like an idiot. His whole demeanor is off putting and I suppose that is influenced by the knowledge of the despicable, cowardly, vile acts he committed. I do feel like even if I didn’t know what he did to his wife, children, the dog and even his taking advantage of his trusting patients and employees that I’d still dislike him. I won’t call him a narcissist, as I think that’s a term/diagnosis that’s thrown around too much. No, I think more accurate descriptors of Tony are: tool, jackass, douche, fool, loser, dumbass, fraud, arrogant, lazy, foul, abhorrent, disgusting, evil, nauseating, wretched, ignorant, self-absorbed, nasty, nasal, gross, weak, coward, predator, diddler vibe giving jerk with a very punchable face. That sums up Tony. That and he looked like a mixture of the Michelin Man, the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man and Danny Devito’s portrayal of “The Penguin” in that white jumpsuit. He definitely sees himself as a medical expert, when in reality he sounded like a moron on the stand. I am a RN and have been for 2 decades. I couldn’t roll my eyes hard enough at his long winded BS. He reminds me of a few physical therapists I’ve worked with through the years. Most are great and highly intelligent. Very compassionate. Some are like Tony. They are the ones every nurse AND physician can’t stand bc they constantly go in and undermine the treatment plan. They give unsolicited medical advice to patients and their families. They ignore orders bc they know best and end up causing more harm than good. They don’t read the chart, they won’t talk to the nurse who’s been caring for the patient for 12 hours…bc they see nurses as inferior and dumb. Tony is 💯 THAT dude. I am sure he’s already trying to boss around the correctional nurses and staff. I’m sure that will go great for him. 🤦🏻♀️🙄
You can tell he's become so accustomed to gaslighting the people around him that he is physically disgusted when someone has the nerve to challenge him. It's *SO* satisfying watching him get more and more frustrated with each failed attempt to bully the prosecutor.
That's why you need to challenge liars early and even get them treatment when young. Way too many people enable them and think looking away won't matter. What is frustrating to me is that people act soooo surprised when something so horrific as this happens. It was all preventable. There have been tons of red flags all his life yet nobody saw them. His very shallow intonation alone...
@@TheNinnyfee I found out today that his mother not only stayed with his father after he hired the hit on her, she stood by Robert Todt during his trial (she still had the bullet fired into her head in her brain, and would still occasionally slur and confuse words), and publicly condemned the jury for putting him in jail. I believe that her insisting on staying with Robert affected Tony in a way we do not yet understand.
@@victoriadiesattheend.8478 Let me get this straight - his father _tried to kill his mother_ and left her with mental impairment, and instead of blaming him, you blame his mother, with mental impairment and a diminished capacity for decision making, for choosing to stand behind her murderous husband? Todt ended up just like his dad, but sure, let's blame the woman who was victimized by him. Great plan. 🙄
It also proves they're not as smart, clever, talented, or as good at manipulating others as they clearly think they are. Imagine being a chiropractor, and having the ego to think you know as much as an actual medical doctor! Maybe even more 😂
That’s what is weird about this case to me. He had all that time but did nothing, and then wouldn’t just plead guilty when it was so obvious. He is very odd. I can’t quite wrap my mind around his mental state.
@@shanecrump7932 he mistakenly believed this method would make him look innocent. He thought staying in the house with the bodies for weeks would make him look “crazy” and would make it look like finding his whole family dead was so overwhelming he went into shock. He wanted to gain sympathy for having gone through such a horrific trauma and paint himself as the truly innocent victim in all this.
And laying in his daughter with his weight to suffocate her.. What in the F?? And stabbing his dog? He can’t even call the dog their name. Inhuman. Absolutely inhuman
@@MOTOBRANDON A subhuman. There are humans and subhumans and it's the only difference between people we really need to know about, everything else is completely irrelevant. Race, gender, age, etc. It takes work to become a decent human being, but being a subhuman is shockingly easy. All one has to do is feed into their selfish nature. This subhuman was given a good head start with his equally subhuman father and the attempted murder of his mother, the rest he did all on his own. Prison is going to be very deservedly rough for him, where he won't be able to pick on fragile women, children and animals. On the contrary, he will be the target with his condescending attitude and gross mannerisms. Prison is not too kind on those who deem themselves superior to others. His narcissism is going to cost him dearly there.
Yeah, I wondered if Tyler was the strong-willed kid who refuses to go along to get along and challenges the narcissist’s lies. He also described Tyler as being the strongest and fastest, but he didn’t sound proud; he sounded annoyed. RIP Tyler.
@@RustyClumps >I wondered if Tyler was the strong-willed kid who refuses to go along to get along and challenges the narcissist’s lies. Ha, that was me. I've never even heard of this being a common family role. It's bc my mom was a victim/enabler and it made me so mad.
"How long did she kick and scream?" "Only for a couple minutes." That simple, casual exchange must be the most gruesome moment of this entire interrogation. I wish we could sentence people to something like getting bound and thrown into an alligator pit. Then he could gain intimate knowledge of what it's like to kick and scream for only a couple of minutes.
His narcissism had (probably still has) him believing that everyone wanted to know the minutiae of his "struggle"....because how could ANYONE not give a fk about him. Absolutely vile and a waste of oxygen. 🙄🤢🤮
He couldn't possibly have jumped from something high, everyone knows there are no structures in America tall enough to kill someone if they fell from the top
Yeah, I’m rewatching and realized that too! Even his own lawyer knew better than to let him go in on that lol. I also love how he claims medical diagnostic testing in the prison determined he attempted ten times lol.
What's puzzling is that police departments will invest millions on training and equipment, but then spend $19.95 on audio equipment for their interrogation rooms.
THANK YOU. It is the WORST QUALITY. I was going crazy over how scratchy the voices came through but how I could still somehow hear all the guy’s nasty little mouth noises (including his breathing)
Exactly, also you'd think that they'd have multiple hidden cameras to capture closeup, wide shot, profile, etc. These days it wouldn't even necessarily be that expensive
I want to start a petition that if a person is murdered by their partner after taking their last name in marriage we automatically drop their last name and get their maiden names back because I’d be rolling in my grave if they called me by my murderer’s family name
@@jackhazardous4008 Probably! If someone is "rolling in their grave" about anything it would probably be marrying a murderer or getting murdered. I don't think the psychology of a murdered person would get past that to what their last name was when they died. That being said, I've never been murdered but I'm certain that if I was anything I'd be upset about would end as soon as I died. 😜
@@Jaelismyhomegirl I agree about comments being deleted. I stay in YT jail. Yet they monetize some of the creepiest people!!! Heaven forbid I say “damn”, though. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
You literally can't tell me this guy wasn't abusive. He has no respect for women and still infantilizes and talks down about Megan even after she's been murdered by him. He's still trying to control her story, her memory. He's so domineering I can't imagine the terror of being in that house as he unwound.
Yeeeeeah, the prosecutor kind of locked that down. What dreading said about “This is the face of a man who wants to hit a woman”, and that was just for interrupting him. It’s really not surprising at all that he moved his wife and kids away from their support systems and into a new environment where they were more isolated - makes it easier to get away with being a piece of a shit when there are less people around to witness and question him.
Yeah, the way he reacts when the female prosecutor was asking objective, simple, situational questions, the barely controlled fury that his story be questioned in any way at all, made me really sad for what Megan and the kids endured in private. At least they didn’t have to deal with him for the majority of each week; I hope there was joy and solace for them in those times. RIP Megan, Alek, Tyler, and Zoe.
i canNOT get over how your little outbursts align PERFECTLY with my thoughts! “no longer womanly and attractive to him… meanwhile he looked like this” took the words right out of my head!!!
He made a lot of derogatory digs at her when telling his story, along with plenty of self-aggrandizing bits here and there. He probably thought it was subtle. It's worse in the letter he wrote his father from jail. He pinned his insurance fraud on his dead wife in that letter as well as the murders.
2:30:38 That right there, that's the real Tony. The same guy who calls his disabled wife "unwomanly" and yet can't even bother to get a properly fitting shirt and suit jacket so his neck isn't spilling out the top like raw bread dough.
I had no idea this channel is barely 3 months old. The production and content is amazing and better then some paid streaming platforms. Keep up the great work. It is very much appreciated.
that’s because it’s a group of people together working on the channel, not one person. some of the people running it might have experience with content production.
Retired Deputy Sheriff here. I'm literally lmao at his "suicide attempts." We had several suicides in our Main Jail in the few years I was in that division. One was a man who shoved a plastic 'spork' into the veins of his left wrist, and died in under 10 minutes from massive blood loss. If someone really wants to commit suicide, they find a way. His "pellet gun" & trying to "fall on a knife." Pathetic & hilarious.
As someone who attempted and survived, it's obvious he never actually tried. A whole bottle of Benadryl might cause liver damage, but it's slow and not guaranteed. The fact that he told the FBI he'd taken them says he wasn't serious. And a pellet gun? That's laughable.
Seriously as sad as it is people kill themselves by accident all the time... and you would think such a qualified medical professional would have an easier time.
UGHHHH him saying "I played basketball with my kids cause I have a friend that told me always play with your kids because you never know when they're not gonna play with you anymore" made me audibly groan with frustration. HE IS THE REASON they're not here to play anymore. No one believes the father of the year act, a father of the year wouldn't be in his position
Honestly *if* someone actually said that to him i think he included it because of the way liars'll include half-truths to make their lies easier to believe to themselves & others. He probably knew/thought of that phrase because he *knew* he was going to kill his kids. Disgusting pos.
@@kerrya2477 I thought the same thing!! He also said that he was "jogging and losing weight"............ Yeah right!!!!!! Many of his sentences don't make sense: "There were other possessions of phones in the house" "I didn't care anything TO myself" "I hadn't picked up the boys bikes yet because the boys were some of my best friends, and I could never" ............... (could never do what?) "I don't remember to the interview that day" "I saw the aspect of the 12th on my phone" "WALDRY tasted terrible" Wal "The mother's helper was hired to help get my son to "see" school." "The sun was in the sky but I can't tell you in what capacity." "I uncovered her face with a pillow." "I said some uncolored words"....... (Colorful words maybe?????) "I bought the knife to put in the kids fishing lures." "She stabbed herself a cumulative times of twice." "When I didn't see her breathing I would do MOUTH COMPRESSIONS also.... " "after one hallucination I drank motor oil thinking it was coffee" Lastly, Inferior Vena Cava is a VEIN not an artery. I also wonder why he said that he fell down the steps at the time of his arrest, "which resulted with a fracture of my neck." If I'm not mistaken, an officer's body cam captured his coming down the steps, and it showed no fall. He is an idiot!!
I don't see any hate. You're being dramatic. I see a person annoyed by the cross examination which is typical for everyone on trial, ever. Regardless if man or woman.
@@sylviekins He's also crap at being pedantic. Wonder how badly his eyes would spin in his sockets if you told him the term is "hanged" oneself, not "hung" oneself (in regards to Megan's father), and that they're colorful words, not "uncolored" words. Oh, I could get this guy mad.
This guy explaining cardiac function to jurors while only being a physical therapist is ludicrous. It is so outside of his realm of study and practice - I’m sure he’s always thought he knows more than any doctor he’s come in contact with. I love how the DA keeps objecting due to his lack of expertise. Nothing would get under this blowhard’s skin better. Plus she’s a woman - how dare a female question him??
He was described as a chiropractor at some point and if that's what he really was .... it makes sense. From my experience MANY (not all) chiropractors think they're doctors and love to tout that their back "adjustments" can fix all sorts of legit medical ailments. I loved when the DA asked specifically what he did to treat his wife and he basically just used multiple words to describe massaging her ... I don't remember all of them but basically he just used fancy terms to say he rubbed her in multiple spots lmao
@@SpecialBlanket i understand what you mean ... but it appears he was someone who thought he could treat her serious illnesses with PT and adjustments lol not to mention it appears his wife's "illnesses" may have been more psychosomatic than anything based on the commentary of this channel. I haven't looked into it myself but the whole timeline of her illness is jumbled up and her symptoms seemed to be very fluctuating ... now I'm not saying that type of thing doesn't happen and that her illness was fake but it def seems like there was doubt out there as to her actual condition
I was wondering that. If he thought he killed it and his lawyers had to explain how bad it looked. People like him, once they think they’ve duped you, they believe you feel the same way they do about anything. He may have been doing something like that in his head with the jury.
There is no doubt that he thought he crushed it. In his sick and pathetic life he thought he was the smartest person around, and all he had to do was show them how brilliant he is. Because as we all know, if someone is as much of a genius as he is, there is no way he could be capable of this crime... WOOOPS!😂
My god, that bit towards the end where he drops all pretense is cathartic af. He just straight up argues with the DA, interrupts her, and is as difficult and belligerent as possible. She did it, she knew she could get him to become so angry at her he'd forget his act and show his true colors. And he thinks he's a master manipulator. 😂
@@CharlieApplesin real life if a woman defends herself against misogyny they get murdered. I imagine if this weren't in a court room he would have attacked her.
I found it hilarious how triggered he got when they told him he wasn't an actual doctor. He was ready to fight the DA, this guy's a joke. My heart breaks for Megan and her kids.
He portrayed her as feeble and almost unable to do activities of daily living but is able to annihilate her whole family? I'm so glad he testified thank you baby hughie
I have her illness except mines possibly since i didn’t know her…mines much worse and I can sing and write I tried roller skating the other day and it was a relief to know I could fully move my joints. People judge me for this illness but they should be pointing to him as a bad person. Lyme is so bad on the body yet it’s equivalent to multiple sclerosis as I’ve spoken with some very Ill people yet are the poster people of that illness: all in all his wife couldn’t have killed herself yet pshyc symptoms are possible. Thank you for you’re comment!!! I couldn’t kill my family and his voice & mannerisms are just..disgusting. I did have a period where I got to 80 pounds (BAD) but I immediately tried everything possible to get to 115lbs which is more than appropriate. Point being he killed his wife family dog himself now he’s gorging on canteen goods. I have horrific insomnia pain which is all over. The cdc has taught chronic and persistent pain and Lyme and babesiosis aren’t serious. I’m crying barb I apologise. The only thing is is I can’t shower like I used to and it pains me. Or shave. It’s hard to deal at 23 but I’ll never give up.
@@matthewdeckerofficial I knew someone that had Lyme disease and passed away from it. They had very bad joint inflammation and sometimes couldn't even brush their hair. very sad illness. I'm sure many people are also not properly diagnosed
not baby hughie 😭 she was also able to kill her family members, stab herself in the chest, GET BACK UP, take more pills, and stab herself /again/ ...... but couldn't manage to put a pillow over her own face, or figure out some other way to un-alive herself... ? and had to beg her husband to do it?? make it make sense tony...
Agreed! I hate the scary music and horror movie vibes. I’m not watching this content because I want to be scared. These are real people’s lives and real tragedies, not a cheap Hollywood slasher film.
I just found this channel yesterday. I'm addicted now! I drive truck so these make the days go by so much faster. This is my new favorite true crime channel
He treats the subject seriously. He respects the victims and even - to an extent - the defendants. He treats the tawdry with some empathy, even when he can’t contain outright laughter at the audacity of some people. And he isn’t the kind of guy that is going to post a murdered child’s autopsy photos.
this guy's demeanor on the stand is the weirdest thing i've ever seen.. swinging back and forth in his chair with his head held high like he's addressing an audience. his ego is so obvious it's actually painful to watch
@@CHOOKIE67 I hope dreading covers that case! I don’t like any of the current true crime videos on it because they focus too much on Jodi being a nut and not on the facts and evidence (crime scene evidence, etc.)
Didn’t even notice the swinging. It’s like an impatient toddler. And you’re exactly right! He’s addressing an audience because he’s putting on a performance. I can’t even stand to watch him, the poor family had to deal with this creep. I was bawling when I heard the injuries of the children (much like with the chris watts case) and he has no emotion towards it other than the forced tears that never were produced
I used to be addicted to Benadryl. My parents never took me to the doctor for my severe sleeping issues, so it was the only thing I could take to sleep. I was up to almost 16 pills a night at one point because my body was so used to it. I could *barely* function for an entire week when I overdosed once. Couldn’t remember anything, couldn’t focus at all. This monster is 100% lucid after trying to OD on Benadryl? Yeah, right dude.
I have chronic allergy problems and when I was out of health insurance I was relying on benadryl when what I needed was prescription strength steroids. Almost wound up with cellulitis in my eye and was taking 13 benadryl at a time with no help. It doesn't make me drowsy anymore at all. Ever.
Though I was barely functioning at the time im still barely functioning without being anywhere near benadryl and having health insurance and access to the meds I need so it could've just been the ~trauma~ that affected the functioning lol
Every time he got interrupted by that woman was so satisfying but also horrifying. I couldn't imagine being married to that, and then this vile man thought he had the right to take the lives of his innocent family. Ugh. (your commentary slipped in always makes me lol "he wasn't attracted to her anymore all while he looked like this" loooool)
YES! Agree! He was def on point with 2 faces- trying SO HARD emotionally with the jury, then the lawyer would cut him off & he swivels the chair around like he’s on Star Trek enterprise with such a SCOWL & distain. He’s the worst of the worst. Blaming his wife for the whole lot, what a jerk!
Exactly, he had lost all his luster and big part of his hair. Out of shape, arrogant and unbelievably annoying character. Being married to someone like him would make you loose your will to live but that woman wasn't suicidal in my opinion.
I felt true joy seeing him trying to control his narcissistic rage on the stand anytime someone forced him to deviate from his performance. The DA’s impact on him was perfection.
Unfortunately for you, it sounds like you have experience with these malignant type narcs. Same. I'm sorry for that but grateful for your insight. They're just monsters and will never learn from their mistakes, change who they are or grow up. Leave or grey rock if you can't leave your toad. Because these toads are not going to ever be your Prince. You'll just get warts 😅😢
I’m amazed his lawyer after interacting with him didn’t try another tactic. Like maybe “when I touch my tie it means you are putting on your rage serial killer expression so stop it” He keeps looking at that female lawyer like he is so close to coming out of his chair and attacking her
@@karenbrown6348 Every woman on this Earth believes themselves genius psychologist. Only a handful aren't dead wrong about this. Ask any woman to guess what a particular man is thinking at any particular moment. Their guesses are consistently - and hilariously - wrong. You're not good at this, but you keep doing it like you are. Bizarre.
@@SkindoggiedogWhy are you even bringing up gender and women thinking they're smarter than every man in the room? They didn't bring that up at all. Weird. Tony Totd and malignant narcissism was what they were getting at.
I feel so bad for Megan here. Imagine being trapped in a marriage and trying to raise children with someone like him, only to have him murder you and your children and then have the audacity to try to blame you.
The Prosecutor actually touches on that during closing statements how he called them “her“ kids… It’s an odd way to refer to your children that you supposedly loved. It’s bad enough that he’s a disgusting person and family annihilator, But then to try to pin everything on his wife, including the Medicaid fraud, is just even more despicable.
This makes my stomach turn. This guy is a straight POS. How in the f*ck can someone like this guy live with himself? I have an 11 year old son and I would sacrifice myself and everyone around me to make sure nothing happens to him. This sicko killed his entire family and is still trying to save his own skin.
When he was being cross examined I was literally yelling at my phone “NO ONE ASKED” and “JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION” and then when he was being questioned by the DA it was obvious how he didn’t respect her by much he was talking down to her and really reflected so poorly on his character when he thought he was being cheeky. This was the most frustrating trial to watch bc dude literally couldn’t shut up he loved hearing himself talk too much
Yes, and it’s odd because I’ve seen other trials where every time a witness tried to elaborate, the DA or judge would jump down their throat. I think it was Ashley McArthur’s trial. The court was so rude about it. He did himself no favors by not shutting up and gave me way deeper insight into his delusional mindset. He’s a coward.
@@BFNLEO He wasn't a witness, technically, he was the defendant. I think the DA and the judge knew exactly what they were dealing with and were only patiently giving him enough rope to hang himself with.
The DA is so good, it's so satisfying to watch. He thinks he's making himself look good walking all over her but she's making SURE he tries so the jury can see who he really is. Incredible work on her part.
She was doing great at bringing out his petulant nature. Listening to him talk really irritated the hell out of me, and I imagine the jury felt the same.
@@carrionstorm736 Every time she interrupted him and he turned to her, it just highlighted that he was acting, and doing a poor job of it. Really masterful manipulation from her, what a pro.
3:17:25 I love how he says "thank god I didn't tell you I assassinated Kennedy", then turns to the jury with that insufferable, smug look that says "women, amirite?" Just....ugh.
It shows that he’s used to having other men agree with and encourage his openly misogynistic attitude. He’s so familiar with men backing him up in that department that he’s confused when nobody affirms it.
I love your content, there are so many "true crime" channels I can't watch bc they seem too disrespectful or rushed but yours doesn't. please never feel bad about taking longer to make your video because they are well worth the wait
There are also many channels that simply post 4h of interrogation footage without any commentary or insight into why anyone did what they did, and it's so unhelpful.
@@GaladrielOfLorien I agree. Certain channels add a short introduction before 2-3 hours of interrogation footage. Then the commenters heap mountains of praise upon the channel for such an incredible video. There may be 2-3 edits in 3+ hours.
Exactly. I feel like every bit of info they give, even in a 3 hour video, is worthy of mentioning and not just random fluff. I feel the TLC put into their vids. It’s important to take great care when discussing the various victims the channel does, and they do just that.
He is THE worst at faking his emotions, no consistency, easily broken. It’s almost like he’s never seen or heard some one cry. The way he just stops being sad and doesn’t show any signs of being sad when he’s interrupted.
@dreamland Do you think he was in on it? Edit: Poorly worded. By 'he' I mean Sherri's husband and 'it' her fake kidnapping rather than Tony Todt and this tragedy.
@@rdoodoo2021 No, he doesn't come off like a psychopath, they're relatively in control of their emotions even under pressure, you can't provoke them. What you're picking up on is a lack of empathy, which is present in a number of mental conditions, including Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which he appears to have. Its consistent with his childhood trauma as well, whereas Psychopathy starts in the womb, and there was no indication he was like this in early childhood.
At 2:07:56 when the lawyer asks him if he had thoughts about joining his dead family he says “after I saw everybody die” and not after I saw them dead. If that’s not a clear indication of what happened that day, I don’t know what is 🤦♀️
Why wouldn’t “the smartest guy in the room” take the stand to defend himself? I’m sure he “knew” he’d be able to convince everyone he was telling the “truth”. EVEN IF he were truly innocent I’m not sure why he thought his tone would sway anyone. Very off putting! Makes my skin crawl.
It's a nightmarish way to die. He could have made their deaths quickly with a gun or knife but chose a long way to die for each of them. He said it took almost half an hour for his little daughter. The boys must have been harder and longer 😢
Fr, its like he rolled a nat 1 on persuation 20 times in a row and to top it all off a nat 1 for insight. He 100% thinks he nailed this interview and trial.
Totally agree, the combination of being insufferable and his ridiculous, self serving stories. Often there is kind of “I’m realize this isn’t going well and I am caught” moment in the interrogation or trial, but this guy is either so narcissistic or so delusional he seems to think he still has everybody fooled and is enjoying the attention while it lasts, thinking he will walk out after.
@@SandraLily2I’m hoping to come back to this comment since I can’t imagine hating anyone more than this gross guy-on second thought maybe I’ll just avoid them lol
Holy crap I didn’t know he started only 3 months ago! I just found him last month…decided to watch one video, and was just BLOWN AWAY by the depth, detail, and also completely respected that he takes the time to create these. I can’t even begin to imagine how long he must spend to get this detailed. I appreciate your time and work, and I second those congrats! Well deserved!! 😊
@@lizc6393 I don't know how it works fully. I was on a girl's channel today to get the basics on the Maura Murray Case before one of my channels starts it. Her Playlist was a WEALTH of info, been up forever, and views were in the low hundreds...
I think the prosecutor was showing the jury this pitiful man’s whole hearted attempt to lie, gaslight and manipulate his way out of this hole he dug for himself. The more he shamelessly did this, the better for her and the state. She did NOT fail at this and neither did he. His lack of self awareness is fascinating honestly.
I think the prosecutor was awful, she had plenty of opportunities to ask more leading questions but missed them all. It's a good job any prosecutor could close this case with a conviction though
His lawyer must have been dying inside watching this ludicrous performance. I'm sure this psycho will go to his grave certain that he crushed his testimony.
Isn't it strange just how easily these people kill others but once it comes to their dear and avid craving to join their victims they just can't seem to get it done?
My God, the faces he makes when someone objects are freaky. Can't believe some people can kill their whole family and think they can talk themselves out of trouble.
Although it’s repetitive and disgusting, everyone should listen to his statement during the sentencing hearing. At one point, he slipped up and said, with regard to his wife, “we had just reconciled.” Since first reading about this case, I had suspicions that she had left him. It explains the two homes in Florida.
I have a lot of questions about his wife, her health after having her children and why nobody else can seem to confirm that she had Lyme disease, and why it was so easy for Anthony to at least attempt to convince people that she had started having what I can only think of as cult like interests and delusions of a pseudo-spiritual bent, as evidenced by his statements regarding what Megan supposedly was saying about killing her children and wanting to be with them on the other side, etc. Like why did Anthony believe that anyone would believe that? Was he isolating his wife that much? Did Megan not have friends? Did she not use social media? Her kids being homeschooled, as well meaning and committed as it was of her (properly homeschooling three children is really difficult and involved), means that we don't get ANY information that we might have gotten about the kids' behavior or appearance or anything that might have been said to teachers or friends, or any information on what might have been happening to their mother. It's frustrating for me bc its like Megan is this huge blank space from a certain time until her death, her health and what her day to day life was like.
i love how every time he tries to use a turn of phrase or ten-cent word he mispronounces or gets it flat wrong “un-colored words” “eat a gun” “mothers helper” “instill that into your body” i love how narcs always try to sound intelligent but never do any basic research to educate themselves imagine, being murdered by this pos
Oh god, the way he keeps using the word “aspect,” changing the context every time, yet it never makes any sense, or seems like something an actual person would say. It’s almost as if he is reading the replies generated by one of those first gen A.I chat-bots. There is something cloyingly artificial about the way he talks, as if he is patronizing everyone. It’s infuriating.
The fact that he still had unhealed defensive wounds visible 3 WEEKS after they were inflicted is a testament to how hard his eldest son must've struggled while this monster was murdering him
“You don’t ask ME questions, I ask YOU questions.” Haha Incredibly impressed with the female prosecutor’s composure and how she refused to let this narcissist douche, railroad her 🙌🏼🔥
She RULES. That was so satisfying to watch after being nauseated by him so intensely for the first part of the video. Maybe he really was great at his job, but otherwise even if I didn’t know what he did I wouldn’t be a customer. I find him slimy and insufferable.
@@pachagirl79 you’re so right! He’s so damn snarky, and I swear he was biting his lips so he wouldn’t crack a sinister “I’ve got this in the bag smile”
Does dude not realize that even if he magically was found not guilty of murdering his entire family, he STILL would go to jail for Medicare fraud. Like, just because you got off one crime doesn't mean your other crimes don't matter.
He's a complete idiot. I imagine he thought he'd just blame his wife for the fraud too, saying she was somehow the one actually doing it. He already sort of alluded to that when he mentioned his family "had become used to a certain lifestyle".
Putting aside the wider situation here, I can’t believe this man supposedly spent months researching murder/suicide techniques and the best he could come up with was a mild tranquilliser, abdominal stabbing and then suffocation 😐 that poor family must have suffered horribly at the end.
@@daneen2fabulous plus if he’s a doctor he could’ve prescribed sedatives that would cause painless death right? It’s fucked I have the same chronic illness and babesiosis pots though I don’t know if she had all my symptoms it’s hard living period but with kids no way in hell could she even beg for help in assisted suicide.
"It seems like everyone in New England has Lyme disease... ***turns to face the jury*** I know this may be difficult to explain in layman's terms... but, having a disease... affected her good health. She experienced what is called "exacerbations", and without getting too technical I'm going to try to explain what exacerbation means." What a clown. I appreciate he was narcissistic enough to think he could actually fool anyone with that performance. Damn near has a mental breakdown on the stand when talking about his wife's father's suicide and their miscarriage, but talking about the moment he discovered his dead kids? Voice is totally flat and doesn't even try to shed a tear.
Most of the time he looks at the jury he puckers his lips when he talks as he tries to feign sadness. Each time he turns to his lawyer he immediately goes back to normal. So creepy. Poor children and mom.
It's this weird, exaggerated pout that reminds me of my 4-year-old niece when she doesn't get her way. It's not a deep and genuine sadness or upset, it's the sort of emotional manipulation that's normal and kind of cute coming from a preschooler. After the adults just chuckle and refuse to buy into her little pity play, she cracks a smile and quickly moves on to another activity.
@@jd32kI hope your TDS clears up soon. It's sad letting him take so much rent in your tiny mind. 😂Stay away from MSNBC, The View and CNN for starters. Trump 2024 💯🇺🇲😊❤
Yes, I can't believe it either. Something is wrong here b/c people usually know fairly quickly that something is wrong and to stay away from a person like him. Maybe he used to be able to fake it better, but that is still hard for me to believe.
I mean, I’ve encountered tons of people like this in life. They aren’t likeable, it’s just easier to tolerate them and go along with what they want than deal with their egos. I’ve seen in videos it be said that socially he came on very strong but his wife tempered him a bit; I feel like that could be a nice way of saying people tolerated him for his wife’s sake.
@@RustyClumpsvery true about people tolerating people like this for the sake of their families. My parents had a friend like this guy, she ended up in jail for trying to murder her husband after he filed for divorce! It's very frustrating to witness narcissists in the wild. There's basically nothing you can really do to keep then accountable until they break the law.
They create a script and practice it over and over. The only people that like them are people who experience them within their pre-prepared roles. If someone goes off script or says something they don't expect then they will freeze and have to think outside their script.
I hope you‘re doing something on the side throughout all those hours lol 😅 I‘m crafting on the side while watching and listening but I personally couldn’t watch it again as inwardly for some reason I‘m hurting and grieving when I witness a manipulative liar like this. Edit: Now that I’ve reached cross-examination, I understand you better. It’s really something to behold…
If you appreciated this, you gotta watch Michael Bargo take the stand in his murder trial. It’s a riot, although with an equally disturbing and horrific reality behind it..
Funny how he failed at the several ways he tried to kill himself, but sure didn’t have a problem killing his wife and children. This is so freaking hard to wrap one’s head around. I can’t even imagine the terror his children and wife went through. He’s just like the many others in prison who value their own lives above that of their victims….”cowards”.
@@delmarchipperson2049 You just don't want to give the woman credit. I'd bet dollars to donuts that you'd crumble when confronted by a sociopath like Todt.
When she objected and he was like "no" - 🤣🤣🤣. I was so glad the prosecution happened to be a woman. We got a good look at how difficult it is for him to drum up any respect for any woman in any environment.
It always gets me how these family annihilators never get around to killing themselves. Thank you for the excellent content I look forward to watching you grow. 👍💯🇺🇸
I know right? After his useless O.D. on benadryl for fuck sakes, why the he'll didn't he through himself in front of a truck?! And a pellet gun. God help us all.
I always think the same damn thing. I swear every single time someone says that after they've killed someone else it pisses me off! For some reason they can easily kill someone else but when it comes to them nope they're either too scared or I tried but it didn't work (bullshit) they always have every excuse of why they couldn't go through with it. Like Jodi Arias who stabbed her ex 27 times shot him in the head & cut his throat to the point she almost decapitated him (saying it was self defense🤬🙄 that's not self defense that's straight up torture & pure evil) she said she tried to "slit" her wrist but stopped because it hurt too much🙄Like are you fr?!!! Everytime someone says that I always say WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU INSTEAD OF TAKING SOMEONE ELSE'S?! OH WAIT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY WANT TO KILL YOURSELF!!!! So pathetic so evil so cruel & so heartbreaking brutally murdering your own innocent babies & your loving wife. I hate this dude
You are right , similar situation happened to a friend of mine , her dad killed her sister , mom and then himself. She was late getting home the day it happened, otherwise she quite possibly would have been killed too. He took out the entire family because he was an abusive drunk. Their house was directly across the street from the school , and done in the middle of the afternoon. It's a wonder he didn't also shoot random ppl as they left the school. Domestic abuse is all too common.
Yeah those are definitely the more interesting cases since we have the perpetrator to speak about it. However, the vast majority of family annihilatiors actually do kill themselves or seriously attempt suicide right after the killings. Those cases get much less media coverage though since there's nobody left to tell the story. Honestly, for some reason it upsets me more when someone is truly planning suicide and kills others before themselves. It just feels like such a huge waste to me. It's so incredibly senseless to kill others right before you kill yourself. If you're going to be dead, why does it matter to you that other people die with you? The biggest waste of life possible. I detest it. With family annihilators it's almost always because they see their family as their possessions/an extension of themselves and can't imagine how/why those possessions could/ would possibly live on without their owner there. The height of selfishness. Disgusting.
Part of his sentence should have been a loud speaker installed in his cell that plays the DA’s voice saying “Objection!” at complete random throughout the day and night.
Don't marry a narcissist, I wasted years of my life trying to "fix" such a guy and now after I realized I have to leave he calls me every day and yells at me how I ruined his life... because he hates having to look for a new girlfriend, that's all. The moment you realize a man is a narcissist, run!
I wonder if I'm a narcissist. I don't think I am? My wife for sure is, but now I'm wondering if we both were and she discarded me first. The joys of emotional abuse and trauma: you'll never have the answers and you'll always be looking over your shoulder and doubting.
@@mellowyello1478 most narcissists cannot self-reflect or assume guilt. Fearing whether or not you may be a narcissist is usually a good sign that you're not. But, if you are interested in self evaluation, there are some great youtube channels that delve more deeply into the topic of narcissistic personality disorder and offer a more comprehensive understanding. I'm only sharing what little I have heard.
@@amandawoods3244 >most narcissists cannot self-reflect or assume guilt. unless it benefits them to do so, therefore making them more approachable or someone to pity
@@amandawoods3244 and I don't mean to attack your statement, only just thought of it because while watching this very guy on the stand, he says things like "I consider myself a third kid" - I think in order to make himself someone the jury will relate to, or so that they'll assume if he's willing to admit his shortcomings, that he's genuine
My one uncle is a defense attorney and is not the most ethical person in the world (unfortunately), but one time he told me that one of the hardest parts of being an attorney is when you’ve already invested your time, energy, and potential income trying to defend someone you hate. If an attorney turns against their client for any reason, they can be sued into oblivion for failing to provide adequate legal defense and potentially be disbarred. They can either request to be excused from the case and take a huge loss, or they can try and keep an insufferable scumbag out of prison. But the one thing they can’t do is deliberately lose a case.
@@CharlieApples is this punishment is only for defense lawyers?. Because I was going to be a plaintiff in court case. He listened and told me he didn't think it was good case to win. Then again many laws are different from state to state. Just curious and I know people dislike defense lawyers but I understand that it's part of your career. No matter how you feel about the defendant they deserve counsel and it's tough to defend someone so obvious guilty. This guy was so stupid killing his family when he probably could have been ordered to repay the money his license could have been temporarily suspended and he could have been on probation and or a short-term imprisonment since he had no record.
Did you notice that his lawyer didn't really object to anything when he was being cross examined? Even when his lawyer was giving his direct questions he didn't really put much into it. It just screamed that even his lawyer knew he was full of shit!
He shows his narcissistic traits when the cop asks him about his relationship with his sisters and his answer is 'they love me'. A non-narcissist would say 'I love them' or simply that they get on well.
@@skandababy point is he doesn't even think to elaborate on how he feels about his sisters, because narcissists don't know how to describe genuine feelings about someone. You're just being obtuse with your comment 🤦♀️
@@skandababy OK, not the point though. You don't describe your family on the stand, at the trial for their murder, as, "they loved me", without any reciprocation. It's a really weird thing to say.
@@skandababy actually if your wife was murdered and you were on the stand for her murder and your first and only description of her was "she loved me" would be insanely narcissistic. do you have autism or something?/gen like do not understand the norm social interactions? or did you just not watch this video at all and only read this comment
"I got caught by the FBI for stealing money from clients on purpose", therefore, "I will kill my wife and three children" This guy is on another level of horrifying.
She was very annoying and was hard to listen to, as she seemed totally unprepared and slightly inebriated. When he was being a snippy brat and asked her if she saw the man behind her, she actually started to answer him before getting offended and scolding him...he is abhorrent though and deserves to be in prison for the rest of his miserable life!!! Horrid person!!
@@jennifer60515 LOL! You are right in that respect. Todt was annoying, but honestly, I could not watch it more than once as I found the uuuummm's and "k's" of the prosecutor to be grating. I am indeed glad that they got him and that no-one fell for his lies! :)
I know someone who acts and talks exactly like this (right down to the facial expressions)… just without the killing part… so this video has been a real eye-opener. Spent it just watching and going “wow, xxx is exactly like that…”
There’s no way she was. So many of the family annihilators place some sort or majority on their spouse. Trying I suppose to make them look less guilty but it never works. That poor family deserved so much more than awful Anthony
of course she didn't. She loved her children. I like to think that she was planning to take them and leave that despicable man. Perhaps he figured that out.
I’m glad that you went further into this case I was honestly shocked when he testified in his own defense by how he is a complete sociopath… and condescending but honestly it was the best thing he could’ve done because he made himself look so bad.
My mother had a saying for people like him. he’s his own best friend because he cares for no one else and his own worst enemy because he is the cause for his own downfall. She said it more crudely because she’s a G but you get the idea. I hope he has a miserable existence from here on.
I love that every time he says something stupid she responds with "okay" like he's a child about to do something that will hurt them, and he's just so pissed that she has the audacity to interrupt him, he can't see how fucked he is.
It's hard not to get mad/annoyed at his blatant disrespect towards the cross examiner but it's satisfying to know he's just solidifying his guilty sentence.
it’s their job to make the defendant look guilty, and making them mad does just that. she may have appeared annoyed on the outside, but on the inside she knew she was winning.
Saying he would “get butterflies” when seeing his wife 🤢. What a complete fraud. He also spoke of his children as beautiful blessings. I feel like this man is a shell of a human. Like he’s a robot following a script of what to say after you annihilate your family but don’t want to go to prison.
I thought the same thing... the only thing I can think of is, perhaps the group of people seeking his help with chronic pain or other ailments we're searching for a solution. Some maybe older and more gullible to his "snake oil salesman" persona. They probably hoped his inflated claims would work as he said. All speculation and just an idea. This guy is so full of himself. He made himself look like a fool to say the least
Loving the female prosecutor at the end. She brings out the absolute worst in him, showing the true monster that he is, letting him cook his own goose with his haughty, arrogant, callous attitude. She gives just enough attitude back to him to keep him going.
A lot of people rightly say this is the best crime channel since JCS, but in a lot of ways you exceed it, especially in fleshing out background details and your respect for the victims. Awesome work by everyone involved.
Agreed - JCS is excellent but has a limited purview. They take in depth looks at certain aspects of certain cases, they don't go into the whole story the way Dreading does.
i typically listen to the longer true crime videos while im driving or gaming. the only proper videos for this are the lengthy ones. you do good work for sure and the lack of visuals doesnt bother me personally.
i couldn’t help but notice that every time anthony proclaims his innocence, he says “my wife killed *her* kids”. not “our kids”, or “my kids”, but “*her* kids”. that kind of distancing language seems to be common in a guilty party’s denial (think bill clinton, for example), and it’s really interesting to see up close. great work, dreading, thanks so much for taking the time to create this. i’m glad to have found your channel in its early days and can’t wait to see more from you!
In his letter to his father he also blames her for their financial situation, saying she was in charge of their finances and he wasn’t really aware of all the fraud that was going on. I think he secretly resented her but he was the sort of passive-aggressive personality that couldn’t directly confront her (especially if he knew he was the one at fault) so imo he drugged and stabbed her instead.
@@nineteenfortyeight6762 sorry if i worded my original comment wrong, i didn’t mean to imply that he always used that kind of phrasing! i was moreso commenting specifically in regards to him using such language to distance himself from (and subsequently, emphasizing his wife’s connection to,) the actual act of killing his own kids, rather than him using it to distance himself from his *kids* as a whole, if that makes sense. what i was trying to say about the phrasing of that sentence had more to do with the context it was used in, rather than his way of speaking in general.
Oh my god if there was any possible way to make yourself more hateable after killing your family this guy has nailed it with his testimony .. Another amazing video my friend your stuff really stands out from other true crime channels
After watching his interrogation video and gagging my way through part of his testimony, I truly can't understand how anyone could consider him anything but obnoxious. I wonder how he could ever have been popular and what Megan ever saw in him. He just comes across as a complete ass.

it's not that weird for a man or woman to devalue their partners.. if someone puts value on someone inevitably they will devalue them for the same thing..say for example your partner valued you for the way you look, he will devalue you for how you look.
I don’t think he was trying to say it insultingly as that wouldn’t help his cause. I think he was trying to convey she had lost weight to the point of not having any identifiable characteristics of a female form. With that being said, we know it’s a lie and the guy is a piece of shit. I could be completely wrong as well, that’s just how I took it. Went by the house last week while on vacation.

@@LightningBoltz I don't think so. I think he's just that big of an asshole. He did a LOT of things that didn't help his case. 😂 he was trying to make it sound like "aren't I great for sticking with her even though she became disgusting to me"
a grown man overdosing on childrens benadryl sums up this man's medical knowledge and intellectual maturity perfectly
Also with no accounts of seeing the shadow creatures people who have actually overdosed on Benadryl have recounted- I don’t think he even took it besides taking it as a sleep aid 🙄
@Kate Howard omg the hallucinations were sooooooo crazy when i OD'd on sleep meds. It was like having nightmares with your eyes open. Or maybe my eyes were closed and i was thinking what i was seeing was real. I cant distinguish the difference.
Thats crazy- never heard of any hallucinations when ODing, though to be fair i’ve never looked much into overdoses-
@SayoSweeti not necessarily just ODing, but if you take a bunch if benadryl or dramamine it makes you hallucinate really bad. But not in Like the fun way such as mushrooms or lsd, its scary and like you're really living it
@@kashinimeyo When I was a teenager I took about half a gram of the active ingredient in benadryl (diphenhydramine) and did have intense hallucinations with things moving in the corners of my vision. It was really unpleasant and the whole "high" is awful. I think the term overdose is being used liberally in this situation if I had to guess.
The funny thing is, the DA probably noticed how easily she could rile him up and made a point to keep cutting him off just to annoy him.
Ha! I didn't consider that! 😅😂
She proved he felt superior to women. He had a woman on his defense team. I imagine this is why she didn't question him during direct.
Also, I felt the prosecution case was a little weak. I was concerned.
If Mr Smart Man hadn't testified, he may have been found guilty of a lesser charge, or even acquitted. I'm so happy he convicted himself. He testified Megan was frail, but she had the strength to kill the strong kid, which I believe he said Alek during interrogation, but changed it to Tyler on the stand.

He really didn’t need the DA’s help to look and sound like an idiot. His whole demeanor is off putting and I suppose that is influenced by the knowledge of the despicable, cowardly, vile acts he committed. I do feel like even if I didn’t know what he did to his wife, children, the dog and even his taking advantage of his trusting patients and employees that I’d still dislike him. I won’t call him a narcissist, as I think that’s a term/diagnosis that’s thrown around too much. No, I think more accurate descriptors of Tony are: tool, jackass, douche, fool, loser, dumbass, fraud, arrogant, lazy, foul, abhorrent, disgusting, evil, nauseating, wretched, ignorant, self-absorbed, nasty, nasal, gross, weak, coward, predator, diddler vibe giving jerk with a very punchable face.
That sums up Tony. That and he looked like a mixture of the Michelin Man, the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man and Danny Devito’s portrayal of “The Penguin” in that white jumpsuit.
He definitely sees himself as a medical expert, when in reality he sounded like a moron on the stand. I am a RN and have been for 2 decades. I couldn’t roll my eyes hard enough at his long winded BS. He reminds me of a few physical therapists I’ve worked with through the years. Most are great and highly intelligent. Very compassionate. Some are like Tony. They are the ones every nurse AND physician can’t stand bc they constantly go in and undermine the treatment plan. They give unsolicited medical advice to patients and their families. They ignore orders bc they know best and end up causing more harm than good. They don’t read the chart, they won’t talk to the nurse who’s been caring for the patient for 12 hours…bc they see nurses as inferior and dumb. Tony is 💯 THAT dude. I am sure he’s already trying to boss around the correctional nurses and staff. I’m sure that will go great for him. 🤦🏻♀️🙄

It's *SO* satisfying watching him get more and more frustrated with each failed attempt to bully the prosecutor.
You said what I wanted to..
That's why you need to challenge liars early and even get them treatment when young. Way too many people enable them and think looking away won't matter.

This subhuman was given a good head start with his equally subhuman father and the attempted murder of his mother, the rest he did all on his own. Prison is going to be very deservedly rough for him, where he won't be able to pick on fragile women, children and animals. On the contrary, he will be the target with his condescending attitude and gross mannerisms. Prison is not too kind on those who deem themselves superior to others. His narcissism is going to cost him dearly there.

When I heard that.
“Another child” to a woman he described as being gravely ill. Meaning he remained a burden rather than step up as a husband.
The DA's objection due to lack of medical knowledge was nothing less than a stroke of genius.
I like the one where he was quoting his wife's last words while pretending to cry and then "objection hearsay" That was savage.

Yeah, I’m rewatching and realized that too! Even his own lawyer knew better than to let him go in on that lol. I also love how he claims medical diagnostic testing in the prison determined he attempted ten times lol.
What's puzzling is that police departments will invest millions on training and equipment, but then spend $19.95 on audio equipment for their interrogation rooms.

It's to protect themselves in case they say something stupid. Which is probably often
I’m pretty sure this is a video of a video, and I think the discoloration is from courtroom lights. So it’s probably a little better raw
Exactly, also you'd think that they'd have multiple hidden cameras to capture closeup, wide shot, profile, etc. These days it wouldn't even necessarily be that expensive
Best comment. So true
I want to start a petition that if a person is murdered by their partner after taking their last name in marriage we automatically drop their last name and get their maiden names back because I’d be rolling in my grave if they called me by my murderer’s family name
Same for the kids! They should get to share the innocent parent's last name

You literally can't tell me this guy wasn't abusive. He has no respect for women and still infantilizes and talks down about Megan even after she's been murdered by him. He's still trying to control her story, her memory. He's so domineering I can't imagine the terror of being in that house as he unwound.

I thought the same thing.
Well, she's his scapegoat. He is the victim 😅
Yeeeeeah, the prosecutor kind of locked that down.
What dreading said about
“This is the face of a man who wants to hit a woman”, and that was just for interrupting him.
It’s really not surprising at all that he moved his wife and kids away from their support systems and into a new environment where they were more isolated - makes it easier to get away with being a piece of a shit when there are less people around to witness and question him.
Yeah, the way he reacts when the female prosecutor was asking objective, simple, situational questions, the barely controlled fury that his story be questioned in any way at all, made me really sad for what Megan and the kids endured in private. At least they didn’t have to deal with him for the majority of each week; I hope there was joy and solace for them in those times. RIP Megan, Alek, Tyler, and Zoe.

The manifesto reading is fantastic. His additions and comments are truly in point
He made a lot of derogatory digs at her when telling his story, along with plenty of self-aggrandizing bits here and there. He probably thought it was subtle.

We had several suicides in our Main Jail in the few years I was in that division.
One was a man who shoved a plastic 'spork' into the veins of his left wrist, and died in under 10 minutes from massive blood loss.
If someone really wants to commit suicide, they find a way.

Pathetic & hilarious.

As someone who attempted and survived, it's obvious he never actually tried. A whole bottle of Benadryl might cause liver damage, but it's slow and not guaranteed. The fact that he told the FBI he'd taken them says he wasn't serious. And a pellet gun? That's laughable.
It’s ridiculous.
Seriously as sad as it is people kill themselves by accident all the time... and you would think such a qualified medical professional would have an easier time.
UGHHHH him saying "I played basketball with my kids cause I have a friend that told me always play with your kids because you never know when they're not gonna play with you anymore" made me audibly groan with frustration. HE IS THE REASON they're not here to play anymore. No one believes the father of the year act, a father of the year wouldn't be in his position
Honestly *if* someone actually said that to him i think he included it because of the way liars'll include half-truths to make their lies easier to believe to themselves & others. He probably knew/thought of that phrase because he *knew* he was going to kill his kids. Disgusting pos.

"I hadn't picked up the boys bikes yet because the boys were some of my best friends, and I could never" ............... (could never do what?)

"She stabbed herself a cumulative times of twice."
"When I didn't see her breathing I would do MOUTH COMPRESSIONS also.... "
"after one hallucination I drank motor oil thinking it was coffee"
Lastly, Inferior Vena Cava is a VEIN not an artery. I also wonder why he said that he fell down the steps at the time of his arrest, "which resulted with a fracture of my neck." If I'm not mistaken, an officer's body cam captured his coming down the steps, and it showed no fall.

This guy explaining cardiac function to jurors while only being a physical therapist is ludicrous.

Whatever it was you were going through, I hope you are okay and having a nice life. Take care, eh?
I have chronic allergy problems and when I was out of health insurance I was relying on benadryl when what I needed was prescription strength steroids. Almost wound up with cellulitis in my eye and was taking 13 benadryl at a time with no help. It doesn't make me drowsy anymore at all. Ever.
Though I was barely functioning at the time im still barely functioning without being anywhere near benadryl and having health insurance and access to the meds I need so it could've just been the ~trauma~ that affected the functioning lol

Holy crap I didn’t know he started only 3 months ago! I just found him last month…decided to watch one video, and was just BLOWN AWAY by the depth, detail, and also completely respected that he takes the time to create these. I can’t even begin to imagine how long he must spend to get this detailed.
I appreciate your time and work, and I second those congrats! Well deserved!! 😊
Me either!!! I am so happy for these guys!!! He really deserve it!!
Wow I must have found him at the start, how awesome that his hard work is paying off!
Wild, right? But frankly, true crime does seem to blow up on RUclips.
@@lizc6393 I don't know how it works fully. I was on a girl's channel today to get the basics on the Maura Murray Case before one of my channels starts it. Her Playlist was a WEALTH of info, been up forever, and views were in the low hundreds...
I love how the prosecutor just says “okay” each time he says something stupid. Just tired of his lying bs.
It's not that she's "tired of his bs", it's her strategy to annoy him.
@@crochunter35 with him, it didn’t take much of his performance was questioned or interrupted by her.
I think the prosecutor was showing the jury this pitiful man’s whole hearted attempt to lie, gaslight and manipulate his way out of this hole he dug for himself. The more he shamelessly did this, the better for her and the state. She did NOT fail at this and neither did he. His lack of self awareness is fascinating honestly.
I think the prosecutor was awful, she had plenty of opportunities to ask more leading questions but missed them all. It's a good job any prosecutor could close this case with a conviction though
@@Balenciagaaaaa leading questions are literally cause for objection and are not allowed in the courtroom. You are exceptional :P
My favorite thing about people like this is the way they're totally convinced they're pulling it off
His lawyer must have been dying inside watching this ludicrous performance. I'm sure this psycho will go to his grave certain that he crushed his testimony.
I know! I love it. Cocky P.O.S
@@luther1546 I thought the same thing. As his lawyer he had to see what a flop Tony was on the stand. It'd be a comical if he wasn't a murderer
Isn't it strange just how easily these people kill others but once it comes to their dear and avid craving to join their victims they just can't seem to get it done?
They come to the realization of: "Oh man, dying is actually really scary and awful! Damn. So... how do I get myself out of this mess..."
@@cincymutt ita either that or a "medical professional" somehow just can't get it done lol
My God, the faces he makes when someone objects are freaky. Can't believe some people can kill their whole family and think they can talk themselves out of trouble.
It's thinly disguised fury. That look people get when trying desperately to control their own temper.
Could you imagine being a little kid dealing with that on a daily basis, no wonder they wanted to live so far apart.
I feel so bad for Megan and her children. Living with him must have been hellish.
Although it’s repetitive and disgusting, everyone should listen to his statement during the sentencing hearing. At one point, he slipped up and said, with regard to his wife, “we had just reconciled.” Since first reading about this case, I had suspicions that she had left him. It explains the two homes in Florida.
I caught that too! I think so also and that they had a massive fight and he killed them
Excellent Point! Great catch...I completely agree and I'm surprised more hadn't caught this.
I agree, my thoughts had something to do with the fbi investigation since I remember at one point in time her tried to pin that on her aswell
I have a lot of questions about his wife, her health after having her children and why nobody else can seem to confirm that she had Lyme disease, and why it was so easy for Anthony to at least attempt to convince people that she had started having what I can only think of as cult like interests and delusions of a pseudo-spiritual bent, as evidenced by his statements regarding what Megan supposedly was saying about killing her children and wanting to be with them on the other side, etc. Like why did Anthony believe that anyone would believe that? Was he isolating his wife that much? Did Megan not have friends? Did she not use social media? Her kids being homeschooled, as well meaning and committed as it was of her (properly homeschooling three children is really difficult and involved), means that we don't get ANY information that we might have gotten about the kids' behavior or appearance or anything that might have been said to teachers or friends, or any information on what might have been happening to their mother. It's frustrating for me bc its like Megan is this huge blank space from a certain time until her death, her health and what her day to day life was like.
@@workingonmyroar7944 🎯I think in that statement he finally admitted they “had a fight on Friday night.”
i love how every time he tries to use a turn of phrase or ten-cent word he mispronounces or gets it flat wrong
“un-colored words”
“eat a gun”
“mothers helper”
“instill that into your body”
i love how narcs always try to sound intelligent but never do any basic research to educate themselves
imagine, being murdered by this pos
Those phrases cracked me up too. Especially, "un-colored" words
Yy&&hugh was yy😂😂😂%gggg😂%828
Oh god, the way he keeps using the word “aspect,” changing the context every time, yet it never makes any sense, or seems like something an actual person would say. It’s almost as if he is reading the replies generated by one of those first gen A.I chat-bots. There is something cloyingly artificial about the way he talks, as if he is patronizing everyone. It’s infuriating.
Wait what's wrong with the phrase "eat a gun"?
@@samuelhenry8366 eat a bullet maybe? Im not sure either
The fact that he still had unhealed defensive wounds visible 3 WEEKS after they were inflicted is a testament to how hard his eldest son must've struggled while this monster was murdering him
“You don’t ask ME questions, I ask YOU questions.” Haha
Incredibly impressed with the female prosecutor’s composure and how she refused to let this narcissist douche, railroad her 🙌🏼🔥
Yeah, that doesn’t make her seem like a cunt at all.
She RULES. That was so satisfying to watch after being nauseated by him so intensely for the first part of the video. Maybe he really was great at his job, but otherwise even if I didn’t know what he did I wouldn’t be a customer. I find him slimy and insufferable.
@@pachagirl79 you’re so right! He’s so damn snarky, and I swear he was biting his lips so he wouldn’t crack a sinister “I’ve got this in the bag smile”
Especially since you just know this putrescent lump of lard is a raging misogynist, and _haaaates_ that he's being silenced by a woman.
He’s a total dick. He doesn’t even try to be likable.
Does dude not realize that even if he magically was found not guilty of murdering his entire family, he STILL would go to jail for Medicare fraud. Like, just because you got off one crime doesn't mean your other crimes don't matter.
He's a complete idiot. I imagine he thought he'd just blame his wife for the fraud too, saying she was somehow the one actually doing it. He already sort of alluded to that when he mentioned his family "had become used to a certain lifestyle".
he probably would have gotten out of it with fines and house arrest
His “switch” he makes when getting crossed examined is insane.
I love how Tony said he would take the blame for Megan killing the family and yet he spent the entire trial throwing her under the bus!
That was the longest description of a pie I've ever heard. This guy never shuts up.
He loves the sound of his own voice 😅😢
For real. I fcking *LOVE* pie and even I can't talk about it for that long.
Loquacious Libra - pretty typical of the male specimen.
Soon as he was saying something about grahm cracker crust I about lost it
@@cemoihonayit's typical of anyone who loves themselves more than anyone else
Putting aside the wider situation here, I can’t believe this man supposedly spent months researching murder/suicide techniques and the best he could come up with was a mild tranquilliser, abdominal stabbing and then suffocation 😐 that poor family must have suffered horribly at the end.
Right??? I mean honestly would carbon monoxide be out of the question? Sheesh.
@@daneen2fabulous plus if he’s a doctor he could’ve prescribed sedatives that would cause painless death right? It’s fucked I have the same chronic illness and babesiosis pots though I don’t know if she had all my symptoms it’s hard living period but with kids no way in hell could she even beg for help in assisted suicide.
@@matthewdeckerofficial He's not a doctor. He couldn't prescribe a Tylenol. I think he's a physical therapist or something close to that.
@@izzeypally yeah he's a physical therapist. Megan was too, before they had kids.
Helium
"It seems like everyone in New England has Lyme disease... ***turns to face the jury*** I know this may be difficult to explain in layman's terms... but, having a disease... affected her good health. She experienced what is called "exacerbations", and without getting too technical I'm going to try to explain what exacerbation means."
What a clown. I appreciate he was narcissistic enough to think he could actually fool anyone with that performance. Damn near has a mental breakdown on the stand when talking about his wife's father's suicide and their miscarriage, but talking about the moment he discovered his dead kids? Voice is totally flat and doesn't even try to shed a tear.
That’s the beauty of him on the stand. When you’re prosecuting a narcissist psychopath you hand them a shovel and let them dig their own grave.
@@naysay02 👍🎯… and a microphone 😂
Most of the time he looks at the jury he puckers his lips when he talks as he tries to feign sadness. Each time he turns to his lawyer he immediately goes back to normal. So creepy. Poor children and mom.
It's this weird, exaggerated pout that reminds me of my 4-year-old niece when she doesn't get her way. It's not a deep and genuine sadness or upset, it's the sort of emotional manipulation that's normal and kind of cute coming from a preschooler. After the adults just chuckle and refuse to buy into her little pity play, she cracks a smile and quickly moves on to another activity.
Sounds like Amber heard
@@bcpr9812 Exactly. He is remorseless and unable to feign a genuine emotion.
He reminds me of Donald Trump
@@jd32kI hope your TDS clears up soon. It's sad letting him take so much rent in your tiny mind. 😂Stay away from MSNBC, The View and CNN for starters. Trump 2024 💯🇺🇲😊❤
It’s hard to believe this dude was once able to give a convincing act as a nice, likable person.
Yes, I can't believe it either. Something is wrong here b/c people usually know fairly quickly that something is wrong and to stay away from a person like him. Maybe he used to be able to fake it better, but that is still hard for me to believe.
I mean, I’ve encountered tons of people like this in life. They aren’t likeable, it’s just easier to tolerate them and go along with what they want than deal with their egos. I’ve seen in videos it be said that socially he came on very strong but his wife tempered him a bit; I feel like that could be a nice way of saying people tolerated him for his wife’s sake.
@@RustyClumpsvery true about people tolerating people like this for the sake of their families. My parents had a friend like this guy, she ended up in jail for trying to murder her husband after he filed for divorce!
It's very frustrating to witness narcissists in the wild. There's basically nothing you can really do to keep then accountable until they break the law.
@@RustyClumpsyeah, having lived in the NY tri-state area, these kind of guys are a dime a dozen.
They create a script and practice it over and over. The only people that like them are people who experience them within their pre-prepared roles. If someone goes off script or says something they don't expect then they will freeze and have to think outside their script.
Can you imagine the terrible life his family had with this despicable person.he didn’t even have the intelligence to just leave .
I try to remember that Megan and the kids spent most of their week without him.
I've skipped through to the end as he's so disgusting.
I can't stop rewatching this. I've had to have seen it over ten times now.
It's so wild to me how he acted on the stand.
Thanks, I feel less weird about the 6th time I'm watching it! 😂
I hope you‘re doing something on the side throughout all those hours lol 😅
I‘m crafting on the side while watching and listening but I personally couldn’t watch it again as inwardly for some reason I‘m hurting and grieving when I witness a manipulative liar like this.
Edit: Now that I’ve reached cross-examination, I understand you better. It’s really something to behold…
I’m the same way with Sarah Boone 😅
@@ms.annthropic6341bahaha yes!!! 😂
If you appreciated this, you gotta watch Michael Bargo take the stand in his murder trial. It’s a riot, although with an equally disturbing and horrific reality behind it..
Funny how he failed at the several ways he tried to kill himself, but sure didn’t have a problem killing his wife and children. This is so freaking hard to wrap one’s head around. I can’t even imagine the terror his children and wife went through. He’s just like the many others in prison who value their own lives above that of their victims….”cowards”.
Seriously he should have offered himself to a Florida alligator since he “wanted to be with them”
By “them” he means his family and the poor dog
He said that little girl kicked and screamed for *minutes*
He had no intention of dying, it's a lie
and their dog😔
The female lawyer doesn't get enough credit, she didn't let Anthony bully her and stood her ground. You go girl. 💪
Exactly! 💯
It’s called being a grown up
@@delmarchipperson2049 You just don't want to give the woman credit. I'd bet dollars to donuts that you'd crumble when confronted by a sociopath like Todt.
When she objected and he was like "no" - 🤣🤣🤣. I was so glad the prosecution happened to be a woman. We got a good look at how difficult it is for him to drum up any respect for any woman in any environment.
people are talking terrible about her for no reason
It always gets me how these family annihilators never get around to killing themselves. Thank you for the excellent content I look forward to watching you grow. 👍💯🇺🇸
I know right? After his useless O.D. on benadryl for fuck sakes, why the he'll didn't he through himself in front of a truck?! And a pellet gun. God help us all.
I always think the same damn thing. I swear every single time someone says that after they've killed someone else it pisses me off! For some reason they can easily kill someone else but when it comes to them nope they're either too scared or I tried but it didn't work (bullshit) they always have every excuse of why they couldn't go through with it. Like Jodi Arias who stabbed her ex 27 times shot him in the head & cut his throat to the point she almost decapitated him (saying it was self defense🤬🙄 that's not self defense that's straight up torture & pure evil) she said she tried to "slit" her wrist but stopped because it hurt too much🙄Like are you fr?!!! Everytime someone says that I always say WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU INSTEAD OF TAKING SOMEONE ELSE'S?! OH WAIT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY WANT TO KILL YOURSELF!!!! So pathetic so evil so cruel & so heartbreaking brutally murdering your own innocent babies & your loving wife. I hate this dude
they should start with themselves just to get the hang of it ^-^
You are right , similar situation happened to a friend of mine , her dad killed her sister , mom and then himself. She was late getting home the day it happened, otherwise she quite possibly would have been killed too. He took out the entire family because he was an abusive drunk. Their house was directly across the street from the school , and done in the middle of the afternoon. It's a wonder he didn't also shoot random ppl as they left the school. Domestic abuse is all too common.
Yeah those are definitely the more interesting cases since we have the perpetrator to speak about it. However, the vast majority of family annihilatiors actually do kill themselves or seriously attempt suicide right after the killings. Those cases get much less media coverage though since there's nobody left to tell the story.
Honestly, for some reason it upsets me more when someone is truly planning suicide and kills others before themselves. It just feels like such a huge waste to me. It's so incredibly senseless to kill others right before you kill yourself. If you're going to be dead, why does it matter to you that other people die with you? The biggest waste of life possible. I detest it. With family annihilators it's almost always because they see their family as their possessions/an extension of themselves and can't imagine how/why those possessions could/ would possibly live on without their owner there. The height of selfishness. Disgusting.
Part of his sentence should have been a loud speaker installed in his cell that plays the DA’s voice saying “Objection!” at complete random throughout the day and night.
Him trying to tell his cellmate a fake sob story then “OBJECTION”
Don't marry a narcissist, I wasted years of my life trying to "fix" such a guy and now after I realized I have to leave he calls me every day and yells at me how I ruined his life... because he hates having to look for a new girlfriend, that's all. The moment you realize a man is a narcissist, run!
I wonder if I'm a narcissist. I don't think I am? My wife for sure is, but now I'm wondering if we both were and she discarded me first.
The joys of emotional abuse and trauma: you'll never have the answers and you'll always be looking over your shoulder and doubting.
@@mellowyello1478 most narcissists cannot self-reflect or assume guilt. Fearing whether or not you may be a narcissist is usually a good sign that you're not. But, if you are interested in self evaluation, there are some great youtube channels that delve more deeply into the topic of narcissistic personality disorder and offer a more comprehensive understanding. I'm only sharing what little I have heard.
@@amandawoods3244 >most narcissists cannot self-reflect or assume guilt.
unless it benefits them to do so, therefore making them more approachable or someone to pity
@@amandawoods3244 and I don't mean to attack your statement, only just thought of it because while watching this very guy on the stand, he says things like "I consider myself a third kid" - I think in order to make himself someone the jury will relate to, or so that they'll assume if he's willing to admit his shortcomings, that he's genuine
@mellow Yello same, I often fear I may be a covert narcissist. I definitely relate to a lot of the signs and it's very scary.
His struggle between wanting to control the narrative and trying to pretend he's sad sure is something. Honestly, what a miserable situation
I bet his own lawyer celebrated. What an insufferable man.
I would've loved to know what the lawyer was thinking when todt put his finger up to him
@@sheldonferguson7422 he was probably like WHY? I am old can't I get a better case😅😅😅
My one uncle is a defense attorney and is not the most ethical person in the world (unfortunately), but one time he told me that one of the hardest parts of being an attorney is when you’ve already invested your time, energy, and potential income trying to defend someone you hate. If an attorney turns against their client for any reason, they can be sued into oblivion for failing to provide adequate legal defense and potentially be disbarred. They can either request to be excused from the case and take a huge loss, or they can try and keep an insufferable scumbag out of prison. But the one thing they can’t do is deliberately lose a case.
@@CharlieApples is this punishment is only for defense lawyers?. Because I was going to be a plaintiff in court case. He listened and told me he didn't think it was good case to win. Then again many laws are different from state to state. Just curious and I know people dislike defense lawyers but I understand that it's part of your career. No matter how you feel about the defendant they deserve counsel and it's tough to defend someone so obvious guilty. This guy was so stupid killing his family when he probably could have been ordered to repay the money his license could have been temporarily suspended and he could have been on probation and or a short-term imprisonment since he had no record.
Did you notice that his lawyer didn't really object to anything when he was being cross examined? Even when his lawyer was giving his direct questions he didn't really put much into it. It just screamed that even his lawyer knew he was full of shit!
These pictures of their family are heartbreaking. Anthony had a gorgeous family it's just unconscionable
He shows his narcissistic traits when the cop asks him about his relationship with his sisters and his answer is 'they love me'. A non-narcissist would say 'I love them' or simply that they get on well.
my wife loves me...no narcissism in that... at. all.
@@skandababy point is he doesn't even think to elaborate on how he feels about his sisters, because narcissists don't know how to describe genuine feelings about someone. You're just being obtuse with your comment 🤦♀️
@@skandababy OK, not the point though. You don't describe your family on the stand, at the trial for their murder, as, "they loved me", without any reciprocation. It's a really weird thing to say.

@@skandababy actually if your wife was murdered and you were on the stand for her murder and your first and only description of her was "she loved me" would be insanely narcissistic. do you have autism or something?/gen like do not understand the norm social interactions? or did you just not watch this video at all and only read this comment

She was very annoying and was hard to listen to, as she seemed totally unprepared and slightly inebriated.

I know someone who acts and talks exactly like this (right down to the facial expressions)… just without the killing part… so this video has been a real eye-opener. Spent it just watching and going “wow, xxx is exactly like that…”
No way I’ll ever believe Megan killed her children or had any part in their murders😢
There’s no way she was. So many of the family annihilators place some sort or majority on their spouse. Trying I suppose to make them look less guilty but it never works. That poor family deserved so much more than awful Anthony
@@laylalee9715 Yes they did 💔
of course she didn't. She loved her children. I like to think that she was planning to take them and leave that despicable man. Perhaps he figured that out.
Not a chance, this used diaper of a person is a family annihilator, a bad liar, a bad actor, and he is the one who killed everyone in that house.
Yep, no different than Chris Watts.
I’m glad that you went further into this case I was honestly shocked when he testified in his own defense by how he is a complete sociopath… and condescending but honestly it was the best thing he could’ve done because he made himself look so bad.
My mother had a saying for people like him. he’s his own best friend because he cares for no one else and his own worst enemy because he is the cause for his own downfall. She said it more crudely because she’s a G but you get the idea.

A lot of people rightly say this is the best crime channel since JCS, but in a lot of ways you exceed it, especially in fleshing out background details and your respect for the victims. Awesome work by everyone involved.
Agreed - JCS is excellent but has a limited purview. They take in depth looks at certain aspects of certain cases, they don't go into the whole story the way Dreading does.
Also it’s always great when they bash the perpetrator
i typically listen to the longer true crime videos while im driving or gaming. the only proper videos for this are the lengthy ones. you do good work for sure and the lack of visuals doesnt bother me personally.

Multi-tasking....gaming and listening to true crime. Impressive.
@@crochunter35 who doesn't do that 😂
i couldn’t help but notice that every time anthony proclaims his innocence, he says “my wife killed *her* kids”. not “our kids”, or “my kids”, but “*her* kids”. that kind of distancing language seems to be common in a guilty party’s denial (think bill clinton, for example), and it’s really interesting to see up close. great work, dreading, thanks so much for taking the time to create this. i’m glad to have found your channel in its early days and can’t wait to see more from you!
In his letter to his father he also blames her for their financial situation, saying she was in charge of their finances and he wasn’t really aware of all the fraud that was going on. I think he secretly resented her but he was the sort of passive-aggressive personality that couldn’t directly confront her (especially if he knew he was the one at fault) so imo he drugged and stabbed her instead.
@@platedlizard he didn’t confront her because there was nothing to confront her about. He was the problem, not her.

@@nineteenfortyeight6762 sorry if i worded my original comment wrong, i didn’t mean to imply that he always used that kind of phrasing! i was moreso commenting specifically in regards to him using such language to distance himself from (and subsequently, emphasizing his wife’s connection to,) the actual act of killing his own kids, rather than him using it to distance himself from his *kids* as a whole, if that makes sense. what i was trying to say about the phrasing of that sentence had more to do with the context it was used in, rather than his way of speaking in general.
He is clearly not the brightest candle on the cake. To think that his behaviour in court would somehow help him, is just really stupid.
Oh my god if there was any possible way to make yourself more hateable after killing your family this guy has nailed it with his testimony .. Another amazing video my friend your stuff really stands out from other true crime channels
