- The father of Timothy Jones Jr., the South Carolina man who killed his five children in 2014, doesn't want his son to get the death penalty. Jones is facing death or life in prison.
The children didn't want the death penalty either and they were innocent!
How do you know the children didn't want the death penalty, the children are dead
@@loribrogdon7759 They got the death penalty themselves by being murdered!
@@loribrogdon7759 no child wants to get killed so horrible
@@loribrogdon7759 Are you brain dead? Do you know any kid that want to be strangled to death by their lunatic father?
@@aryaprincess2479 he’s just a troll, don’t let him upset you. It’s hard not to get mad over this situation, it’s sweet little children :(
He’s destroyed his father also
@@TrueCrimeJewels I agree .it was creepy. They had a picture of his back ....why have him show it in court. Yuck.
I was thinking the same thing. Slimy and creepy. When I found out they had a picture, I was appalled!
Jewels And Thoughts having who disrobe? Tim jr or his father Tim senior?
He did that to all of us .
He hurt my hart to .
NO. Father and his mentally ill mother did this to him. Grandma talked about giving, enema's to little TIM, by mother, other crazy behaviors with screaming, beatings. This reminds me of the movie SYBIL. That woman did horrendous things to her child. Same kind of behaviors. Enema's, torture, beatings. The child was told to HOLD it, or get beat.
His poor father. He looks like he hasn't slept in weeks and has been crying. Such destruction on the whole family. God bless those poor babies. My heart is aching.
😣
I hope at least when he's in private he lets all of those emotions out. You can tell he's trying to be strong in public but it's not healthy to hold all that in
Absolutely dreadful
His father is probably to blame s well. He was on drugs as jr was growing up
@@jasonk2518 yeah 😢
I am not heartless, I truly do feel sorry for everyone who has been hurt by this tragedy, but the defense keeps trying to portray Tim jr as a victim. What about the babies? The babies were failed by their parents, grandparents, DHS. Tim Jr is not a victim he is a monster.
Their job is to get the jury to decide on a life sentence as opposed to death so they are doing all they can for their client
That's their job
@depressed orlando magic fan! and your client would get off because you hadn't done the best you could and it wuldnt be the first case.
How did their mother fail them? What could she realistically have done to prevent something she couldn't predict?
How are his grandparents meant to know about mental illness? They asked to take his kids and he said no, would you suggest kidnapping them? Parents failed them yes as did dhs, not their grandparents.
my god...the pain in the grandpa's eyes!!!
Yes, I feel his pain
Vera Wallace it’s truly painful to see
I feel sorry for the grandpa this is so messed up
This is deep suffering in this man's eyes. I cry with him.
This is a father's love. Unconditional love.
The one his son didn't have for his children
very sad
He was a young father and really tried to be a good dad to Tim. This is beyond tragic.
If he were my son I would vote for the death penalty
@@brendarawlins9417 the parent isn’t on the jury but you should let your kids know how you feel, it may dissuade them from killing people in the future.
I would kill my son and go eat steak. I love my grandchildren that much. You?
HIS FATHER IS A BROKEN GRANDFATHER , SO TRAGIC
😥
The father probably knew tim jr had mental issues but he ignored the signs probably thinking nothing bad would ever happen.
@@allyforester46n2 its very hard for parents to see something like that in their own children. Mental issues dont automaticly mean violence, especially not an escalation like that. Most people with mental illness dont hurt anyone, so please dont throw a stigma on them - if they are seen as guilty even before they done smth they will most likely not look for help before victims occur.
The fact he got a tattoo on his back does not exonerate his son for murder.
He is so broken. His heart is broken 😢
I feel so sorry for the grandfather. This man will never recover!
Jones is a monster. He drove around with the dead children in the trunk
It was the backseat. They laid dead under blanks for a week before Tim Jr. dumped them like they were nothing more than trash.😥
And then commented that it smelt like shiiii
Literally went to stores with them in the back seat... ppl walked past that truck and had no idea there were 5 babies dead. It breaks my heart. He knew exactly what he was doing. Vile
He was up in my town & went to a Duncan donuts & people recognized him. In the news & said he was strange & smelled bad
him and casey anthony would have made one hell of a couple
Mera, age 8
Elias, age 7
Nahtahn , age 6
GABRIEL , just 2
Abigail , just 1
This is just a trial, to figure out how to punish you Dad. There is no real Justice , because you 5 are buried, and we can't bring you back. I'm so upset, sad, and horrified what happened to all of you. Your names will not be forgotten , and we will spell them correctly, as those media types say His name. I will be sure and put your names up too. You were hungry, and bad things happened to all of you. I will think of you being in a place where nobody can hurt you, I am so sorry little children. Your teachers cared about you. Your Mommy wasn't given custody. Life isn't fair. This thing that happened is horrific.
Nahtahn was younger then Elias ? Elias was 7. Nahtahn was 6
Thank you for writing this so well. It is so tragic and unfair to those sweet children .Tim Jr. was always mean selfish and vindictive....Drugs & alcohol didn't help him. A 👹 MONSTER.
@@robinsmith3987 thanks for catching my erroe. Corrected!
@Great Auntie Schmeeda....why wasn't the mother given custody? she must have been unfit.Unless she was not working and had no money.
@@geniemeadows5122 She had no attorney. No High School Diploma. Not even a Drivers License. That is all I care to comment
Unbelievable how one selfish man, Timothy Jones Jr., has literally destroyed not only his entire family but, I’m sure Amber & her family as well. So sad.
oh, you haven't seen Amber's testimony? It will break you. She is not an awful person at all and he had a lawyer to get custody, he wanted her back, but he was sleeping with a 17 year old babysitter. She never gave up her parental rights. I don't know what's up with her parents, I heard they're alive but the grandmother said they never met them, so I think they're estranged.
Well said.
Well said, Pamela. He has literally destroyed....
Why did this mother have 5 children with this individual? Surely if you were intelligent enough you would have stopped after number 1. Sick parents are still alive, unbelievable.
This man’s grief is palpable. He comes across so genuine, a good man. I feel deeply sorry for him.
Yeah, like my own dad. I like him.
It’s too bad that he didn’t treat his children. As well as his father treated him
No he learned that from his Mother
Yeah honesty wth. His father seems so sweet. How’d he end up doing this 🤦🏻♀️ horrible
@@aquarianlight1880why what’s the deal w his mom
I feel really bad for this man. People are condemning him when he did the absolute best he could. He didn't ask for his son to be a murderer.
I haven’t seen any negative remarks regarding the grandpa?!
This poor guy looks totally defeated, and worn out, what a crying shame, bless him it is devastating, his sons emotions are flat, god help this poor Grandfather, so sad.....
Margaret McPherson i feel they did nothing to assist those kids
Love Pet I know what you mean, I do above and beyond for my Grandkids, but watching them having fun at the Grandfathers home in the pool, and having watched him cry, he has more feelings than his son.... but were those tears from guilt, ppl like these are extremely hard to read, I have feeling you see, and it makes me sad to see this Grandfather so defeated and he looks knackered, but his son is very disturbed and tormented and cruel, makes one wonder why? Those baby’s are at peace now, away from their Dads cruel regimes... bless them in heaven, xxx love from the UK.
Margaret McPherson Are you seriously blaming this man for his disgusting son’s actions? You are a shitty person.
@@h.g.9411 I totally agree, that granddad is 💔, he loved those kid.
This is heartbreaking and makes me upset that the monster son can sit there and just stare. He is one sick pos. That grandmother and grandfather should have squeezed his head when he was born. A person can do a lot of horrible things but killing children is as low as they go. Maybe he will get life for his fathers sake.
Dude keeps wiping his face, but there's no tears he has no remorse. His dad mourns more than him. So sad.
I believe that 100%. The son seems more upset that he was caught than anything. During his taped confession he was more concerned about ruining his own life instead of robbing his babies of their own.
The defense should give it up....there is no defense. They are making it worse for him. He knew what he was doing. Period. He destroyed his entire family and caused so much pain.
And money... Imagine millions put into this! And even more to keep him in jail! Death penalty apply perfectly to this case.
The defence are grasping at straws. Such a waste of time and money
Diane Valentine The moment a defence attorney is denied he walks - He must be presented with a defence legally!
@@kathyborthwick6738 exactly! Its so annoying that ppl dont understand this. The ignorance is so widespread in these comments yet the ones like this barely get any likes
EVERYONE has the right to a defense. Rights are for every single person, not just for the people we like.
If the mother had killed the children, they would've been demanding death penalty... I know it's his son, but killing babies is unforgiveable.
Where is the mom of the kids
They demand that of anybody that intentionally kills 5 children. All killing this man does is quicken how fast those kids will be forgotten. If you think killing these kids father is the best way to honor their memory i must respectfully disagree. Its only accomplishment will give the public a misguided feeling of justice and free this man from his own hell.
I don’t get your point. Statistically women get much leaner sentences for the same exact crimes. It’s kind of inappropriate to use this as an opportunity to gain oppression points. Not only that but it’s a straight up lie
@@Ryan-ze9fz I agree, i did not word that right. Back then i was pretty much reacting in real time as the trial went on. I meant that the parents/family of TJ jr. probably would have had a different opinion about the DP when it had been the mother that commited the crime.
Well to your knowledge the mother of the murdered children pleaded for NOT deathpenalty!!? She begged for MERCY on the murderer, just as Shannan Watts parents said about Chris Watts, may the Lord have mercy on you, WHY???? She(Tims ex-wife) said she did it for the sake of the children who loved their dad...WHY would anyone beg the Lord to have mercy on a cold-bluded murderer??? To me it seems they somehow feel pity for him, if they do that. I would scream MAY THE LORD SPIT ON YOU AND THROW YOU TO HELL..
GRANDPA GOD GRANT YOU THE GRACE TO BEAR THE LOSS
Amen.. I will be praying for peace and comfort daily for this man...
Amen 🙏
Amen 🤲
"OMG" I really feel for Jones Sr. He has really done a lot for his family. He has learned the hard way how important it is to be the rock. He is going through an emotional hell. May God be with you always, Sir.
Amen!🤗
Amen..praying for Tim Sr. And the babies mama, and everyone involved...rip babies..
@@aliced4452 My prayers go to the grandparents. Lord can't imagine
the pain they're through.
Did Mom have mental illness?
@@ginahiguera6137 Yes, Tim Jr's "Mom" had a mental illness. I believe it's the reason why he tried to make them think he had a mental illness to get him off the death penalty. However, it didn't work. He murdered his children because he wanted to hurt his wife for leaving him. In the end he got the death penalty.
Why the HECK did they make him even more uncomfortable than he clearly already was by making him remove his shirt if they were gonna show a picture of his tattoos anyway?! It seems like he didn’t know they were going to ask him to do that! I just feel so bad for this man. His heart is broken. 🙏🏻
Why go down memory lane, he's not insane, just evil
This Grandfather showed more compassion and pain for the loss of the children than the parents showed!!! I feel so sad for him!!
The mother did not show pain? Are you serious?
Are you kidding me? The mother was in obvious pain.
For all the eye wiping Tim Jr. does, I have never seen one second that looks like he has really cried, no red eyes no red face, no sniffling. He can act like he is crying one moment and in the next nothing. That is not the way emotions work
The glare he has when anyone mentions loving Naton, heartbreaking. As a teacher, we have all had Naton's in our room. The kids that we feed, we love and give as many hugs and as much affection as we can in a day! I don't think I could go back to the classroom if I went through what these educators have! His families may have had their flaws, but they had a lot of love. Tim Jr. never went to school in ratty clothing or a lunch of bread a grapes. I would bet he made more money than his father did too! His father wouldn't have missed a kindergarten graduation. I have seen the hurt in children's eyes when they had a mom/dad's breakfast or a grandparent's day without someone (even having my own mother serve as an adoptive grandmother), but a graduation. My God the pain that child endured in life!
Cindy Go Big Blue He only cries for himself!
Cindy Go Big Blue...He was the same in his confession and I thought the sane about Granny. Love your name, Go CATS!!
I thought the same thing. He puckers up cries and wipes and he’s done. No evidence of real tears or real crying.
Cindy Go Big Blue So true! He hasn’t shed one tear, the hankie is for effect only!! The only emotion he is capable of is rage!
This is so heart breaking for this father and family. I have watched this whole trial and the only time Tim Jr cries is when anyone is talking about him or his “potential”. I have yet to see him actually cry about his children. Not even when pictures are put up. He’s horrible
Same thing I just got done saying to a dumb ass defending that evil dick saying look at the deeper picture he was a single parent mother didn't help n he had all this responsibility and had to tell her God forbid you have too.many responsibilities of being a single mom its called life I pray you don't abuse or kill your children because you cant handle it and didn't have help its life working taking care of.all these kids going through a divorce and being cheated on her had help.he had nannies babysitters family who took them.and offered.to take them I'm a single mother of 2 children and my oldest has things wrong with him.and I work with one income while their father left.me.pregnant with my daughter to.get another woman pregnant and marry her and its rubbed in my face everyday but I still and never will.get thoughts of ever killing my children because I don't want to be an adult and take care of my responsibilities the mother did help.but it was that sadistic fuck who would change the places they were meeting at and show up.at the normal.meeting place to show the kids that their mother didn't want them it was him who.wouldn't allow.her to have any dealings or say so.with the school or the nannies or babysitters he caused all.that extra stress and he took it out on those babies don't ever sit there and justify this pos because of stress from everyday life
Pretty Miami just keep doing your best I raised 3 on my own their father turned his back on them when we split 21 years ago they are now 34, 31 and 29 and they and me are very close your kids will remember everything you do for them...being a single parent is hard but is no way an excuse for what selfish vindictive Timmie has done
But daddy is crying for him....not the innocent kids.
@@helenagreenwood2305 exactly hun it was sick how this single mother on another video of this penalty phase was excusing his behavior because he had responsibilities I have never even had a thought in my head to kill my kids to make life easier or because I don't want to be an adult had he allowed the mother to get custody of the kids and do more with them instead of hating her and trying to get the kids to hate her by sabotaging her visitations n everything else it wouldn't have came to.this but because they loved their mom and wanted her n he hated her he killed them doesn't excuse this pos of a waste of human flesh
@@helenagreenwood2305 I swear if you would have seen her comment excusing him killing his kids it would make your stomach turn I told her about it lol in no way was her excuse for.him.killing those babies excusable and makes me pray for her children if.she gets to stressed out what will she do to them
This poor man has aged 30yrs at the hands of his OWN son!
Godbless him! 🙏
I think hes started boozing again too, he looks alot worse than last time. He shouldve never conceived a kid w a crazy woman, but since he did he needed to , its easy to tatoo not so easy to confront and take those kids from his crazy ass son
@@lovepet4565 I don't believe he was aware since both of them were only 16yrs old, that she had mental health issues. I get it, though there's no way that his son is going to be able to survive murdering his children, nor should he. It will still be with me for along time that, when asked by the detective what did the car smell like (when his dead children were put in the car)the Bastard said "stunk like shit" atrocious thing to say!!🤬🤬🤬😭😭😭😭😭
If u look at the video of the great grandma on the Atlanta trip- she has aged horribly since 2014. She looked pretty good back then. Probably all the crying and alcohol. U can see it in their faces. So sad for the family’s.
Raineach Myles agreed!
@@DragonsJRS agreed sweetheart!😖😖😖😖😖🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I don't get why they had to show the tattoos, that's kind of personal, and having to take his shirt off in front of everyone, poor Grandfather. 😢
Yes they could have just showed the picture,like they did after making him remove his shirt
Ridiculous.. a picture would have been more appropriate
No extreme a dirty defense won't go to. This just brings more pain and humiliation to the gf. The more pain they can put into his eyes the more chance his client has. See we no longer can feel sorry for Tim. Even calling him Timothy don't help our skin crawls. However, the grandfather, although he has had a ruff past and they have brought his worst to display. Our hearts ache for his loss. Here they see their only chance. So the more pain they can inflict into him it comes through into his inflection to us/the jury. Psychology...that's all...but yes it sucks.
They want you to feel the good grandfather has lost so many already. They want to convey that he is accepting of his son getting life but he can't emotionally take another death.
Trying to save Timmy's live from the death penalty
I would say Timothy Jones Jr is a sociopath. He lacks empathy and shows no genuine remorse at all. Fake crying; no actual tears. It appears that from birth he lacked the normal bonding that a mother and child must have in order for the child to develop in a healthy way. This in no way excuses his actions. I believe he knew exactly what he was doing. I really feel for his father, he seems like he was a wonderful grandfather and genuinely loved and adored his grandkids. Bless those poor, innocent children.
The grandfather is so heartbroken 💔 He loved his grandbabies. His son was so blessed and never even realized or appreciated it. Tragic
My heart aches for the grandfather. He has lost everything, his grandchildren and his son.
I hope people are kind to him and I hopes he finds the strength to carry on. Such a tragedy.
He raised a monster, I have no sympathy for Him.
@@deborahhershey3045 It's not necessarily his fault
At least he still can go see his monster son the babies are dead..
He's got his grandchildren's pictures tatooted!
@@deborahhershey3045 you don't know that? His mother was insane. Its an environmental behaviors of his mother! Timothy Jones Jr has a sociopath Narcissistic personality behavior. Look it up. I suggest you do your research on this behavior before posting comments.
If I was a juror, this whole song and dance would not change my mind. I would have it made up. WASTE OF TIME!!!
Oh, you killed FIVE people, kids? You deserve death. Nothing would have changed my mind.
That says it all., Thank you.
Sorry he did not snap. Tim is a selfish women & child hating Sadist. He starved those kids for months & beat them, tippy toe for hours on end PT'ing, hours on end, belt whipping and told them their mom didn't want or love them. It is not a snap or snapping. It is who he is. There was no snap. There was Discard, he even put it on his list. And love, he wasn't capable, if he knew what love was he would have called his family for help.
MJ I agree, his FAM had offered to take the 3 youngest, asked him to move closer so they could help. Tim Jr said no. He is selfish and cold hearted.
MJ well said its so true he treated them horribly and should have been snipped as a teen
Of course he doesn't, he's his father. I can't pass judgement on this man. Its just sad all the way around.
I feel so bad for this poor man. :( you can see how much pain he’s in.
Tim SR wasn’t as cocky this time around . He sealed little Timmy’s fate with his arrogance and bitterness towards Amber last time. They blame Amber , the kids, spice, weed, beer, liquor, the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, Bill Clinton and Aliens but never little Timmy ... Disgusting ppl!
Nothing is ever a narcissist's fault
Totally agree, the whole family is sociopathic.
Can you post the link to first testimony?
My heart is breaking for this man! As a first time Mom Mom I couldn’t EVER imagine not just losing my grandchild but at the hands of my son! He looks like he is trying so hard to hold it together. I sincerely hope as the years go by the pain in his heart lessens.
This, this is what a grieving grandparent looks like. I have so much respect for this man.
The Watts need to watch him, and see what they’d feel if they felt grief.
I feel the pain of Tim Sr. and my heart goes out to him. He loved those children. But the prison phone call sealed it for me. If anyone ever deserved the death penalty it's Tim Jr., and I don't say that lightly. God be with them all, and with the jury.
Jill Arrowood my heart hurts for his father, no matter what things people say..this has seriously affecting him
I missed the phone call and I thought I seen it all 😠
Jill Arrowood you say he deserves the death penalty god be with them all AND THE JURY. GOD SAYS WE ARE TO NOT JUDGE VENGEANCE IS FOR GOD. YES THE JURY WILL FIND HIM GUILTY N HE WILL FACE THE PUNISHMENT. WHEN SOMEBODY GET’S THE DEATH PENALTY IN ORDER FOR THAT PERSON TO DIE THEY ARE GIVEN INJECTION IS THAT NOT KILLING ANOTHER? To sit in prison till they die is life. We pay the punishment and these are the consequences to out actions. I’m sure living in prison would not be easy and this human will have to deal with what ever comes and who knows somebody might take his life or he might take his,life himself but I really do think we are not god. To place a needle into another human and they die that is killing a human. JUST as well as abortion. In the New Testament an eye for a eye tooth for a tooth no longer exist. God does not say if you kill somebody you should be killed.....YOU HAVE INTERCOURSE AND A HUMAN IS CONCEIVED and A HUMAN IS BORN. IN ORDER TO REMOVED THAT HUMAN THEY HAVE A PROCEDURE DONE AND TO ME THAT IS KILLING A HUMAN TOO. IT IS CALLED MURDER IN THE EYS’S OF GOD.....
Felisa, I am not going to argue religion with you as you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Perhaps you should refer to Acts 25:11, but then again we all have free will to interpret as we wish. Why do you bring up the subject of abortion? For the record I am against abortion, as a child is INNOCENT. Again, this is MY belief and I am not here to argue abortion.
If I am understanding you correctly , it would be better for Tim Jr. to be able to LIVE his life in prison and just maybe someone would commit murder and take him out? Or he would kill himself ...(not gonna happen). Yes let him LIVE, while his babies weren't given that chance. I say again, God be with the jury. Those babies deserve JUSTICE!
God wasn't with those kids. I wonder where he was.
Can someone please explain how the back tattoos are relevant? That was unacceptable. Objection!!😐
Grandfather rolled with it so who cares.
Its his way to memorialize his loved ones.
For the gury to make them feel sorry an not do the. Death penalty
What kind of courtroom is this??? The swearing, talking in circles, people dressing like they're going to a bar, attorneys having people disrobe. Unbelievable!
dm coffman exactly! 5 innocent children were murdered and thrown away like trash and they honor them by behaving this way in court!? It’s a travesty!
Good that he had the tattoos on his back and not some place else....Americans do strange things in court, for sure.
This is the Deep South
It’s called a ReAL court room. In ReAL life
Isn't this Mississippi?
Seeing Amber break down was hard enough and now seeing their grandfather , truly heartbreaking. May they find peace x
THIS IS DEFINITELY WITHOUT A DOUBT, " DEATH PENALTY!"
When you kill a killer there are just as many killers in the world. Let him rot forever.
He needs to live in jail for the rest of his days an hear his children cry's every day he doesn't deserve to have the death penalty he deserves them baby's cry in his head
That damn man ain’t crying!!! So sad. Electric Chair
I cant even imagine the pain he feels. just heart wrenching.
I know daddy loves his son and that is understandable BUT I wish the court could ask the CHILDREN HE KILLED ECT. if they'd like their 'daddy' put to death you might get a big ..."YES!!!"
It's a big "yes" from me.
ABSOLUTELY
Those baptist jurors are gonna commit him to die
GhostCity Shelton what?????
The problem with that is the children would say no because that is how children are.
@@lovepet4565 What does that mean? That they don't want this man to kill again, one day?
The disrobing in court to show a tattoo is just bizarre! It’s inappropriate and really scraping the bottom of the give sympathy barrel.
Jewels of Thought me too! There was a photograph of his tattoos, that should have been enough! With the defence team’s constant rehashing of statements, abundant parade of psychologists/psychiatrists (which didn’t help) and now the disrobing of the grandfather to show the jury what could have been done via photos and served absolutely no purpose, it’s turned into a circus !
I think they have humiliated his family enough. AS a juror, I think the picture would be enough. I don't think anyone would say they didn't have sympathy for his dad, the prosecutor included!
I agree .they had a picture of his back. Crazy drama.
That was wrong, no need.
Kirstin Purcell They already had a picture of the fathers back showing tattoos, so wth ? Defense is grasping !!!!
The way he stares with those dead eyes. Like he's feeding on their soul
What's wrong with you . He is medicated.
gloria poljak what's wrong with me? I am fuming, I am sick to my stomach to think what these babies went through. I don't like people who murder all their children in cold blood then claim it wasn't their fault. He's not psychotic, he is a drug addict and he's a nasty evil monster who couldn't get over Amber leaving him and he killed his kids. These people don't deserve a place in society.
@@sweetlycreepingin9910 not medicated enough to hide his raging angry face to everyone who testified against him. Hey you and Jones have something in common - excuses. Nothing is his fault remember? It's the dead 6 yr old's fault, it's Amber's fault, it's the "voices", now it's the medication. Lol
Pip Michaels he’s ugly AF
Yuuup
If he didn't want them; he should of left them to his father and grandmother. At least the children would of been alive and safe.
YOUR MAD AT JR, not Sr. Please stop judging him for getting an enormous tattoo of his family, this is how he copes with his losses. His heart is shattered. He won't live long after this and if he chooses to booze his life away its his life. Bless this man Lord, he needs you more than I.
Exact he is trying to cope the best way he can - if he feels the need to get a tattoo then so be it.
IF THE TATTOO MAKES HIM FEEL A BIT BETTER WHY NOT .HE S BROKEN GOD HELP THEM PLEASE 😐
The hurt and sadness in this grandpa face, his tears 😔
What a wonderful man! I can't even come close to imagining how he feels. He knows his sick son needs him. That just may be the thing keeping him going. 😢
When I say his sick son, I mean he's a sick monster.
This man is getting punished for his sons acts.. poor man..his son deserves the sentence though
The tattoo showcase is really odd and seems mocking, disrespectful, exploitative, and inappropriate. I think I’d be offended if I were there in that jury. Why not just show a picture? >>Edit: Wait, there was a picture and the defense still undressed a man in a court of law? What in the wet and dry Earth is wrong with them??
VERY well said Ela! I was like wtf?!! Geez! come on now, that was absolute BS
the look on the father's face when he was asked to show the jury. I feel they didnt even let him know he was going to be asked to do that.. The defence team were so calculated and disrespectful especially the bald headed guy and that woman WTF is she there for except to maybe nudge Tim if he looked like he was coming out of character.
Shona Andrews to make him look less dangerous
I do agree with u you're right
They have to do that, pictures can be altered with today's technology. You have no idea how court proceedings work and you don't work in one, so why even offer your input?
That guy has hatred in his eyes for every one of them wow
Couldn’t they have just took a picture of his back tattoo of the children, rather than undressing him in the Court?! Honestly, it was a circus to do this!
Karizma Charles I don’t understand why we had to see it at all - what is the significance of it to the trial/verdict, especially if done as a memorial after the poor dear children died.
The defense had NOTHING. Can’t believe they made this grieving man disrobe in front of all these people. Immoral and disgusting.
How embarrassing to be asked in front of all of those people, to disrobe. The picture would’ve been fine.
Yeah very odd and unnecessary
The judge should have stopped it.
I can't imagine his fathers pain. He has suffered such a tremendous loss, and now he will have to lose his son.
Good. He raised a sociopath 💯
tracey flowers drsr
tracey flowers tt see
I knew he was crazy when he said "he liked math" i got chills
Yup! lol
My heart 💔 breaks for this poor man I can only imagine the pain he has endured and I know he hates what his son has done but still at the end of the day that's still his son My prayers are with him..😥
Him and the nanny are really hurt
After killing his children & destroying his dad & any other relatives, he plead not guilty just to bring more agonizing pain by making them re-live the horrendous murder during trial. He only cares about himself & if he gets life he will die faster than if he sits on death row.
This is just further evidence of his egotistical narcissism - he literally thinks he can get away with it amd he'll put everyone through hell to try
The pain of the father is heartbreaking.
Grandpa is a good man my heart breaks for him
When u cross the line of killing someone you can't turn back
Your pretty much not human anymore
I always feel so heartbroken for the parents of murderers, if they have been normal parents, as in this case, then they are victims just as much as the murdered ones. It's kinda like this father got murdered too, his life is over too, he has to live the rest of his life as the grandfather of those murdered children, or as the father of the man who murdered his children... for me that would be unbearable, I would either end my life or leave everything, move to another place where noone recognizes me and try to start over there. I do hope he has people who cares and stand by his side. And I also understand why he doesn't want deathpenalty for his SON, no matter what; that piece of garbage is his SON.
I’ve seen Timothy wipe his eyes a million times but never a tear, red/puffy eyes or anything.
He rubs his eyes with the hankercheif to make them red and puffy.
Yes, they are all the same. Teary eyes, but never a tear shown or a nose blown!
Timothy has no emotions & is dead inside. No tears only faking tears with rubbing his eyes with his hankercheif. He's a liar and a monster & child killer. LIFE WITH OUT PAROLE, in a 7 x 4 bare cell (no comforts) & one bowl of porridge a day. More than he allowed his children to have (sick monster) 🍪pocket.
He is dead cold and empty inside. Not a shred of empathy or conscience.
Also he did this to spite his wife 🤧
One death of a child is enormous enough to bare. I can’t imagine having all 5 of your children murdered. My God the devil walks amongst us
My heart is absolutely breaking for the grandfather. I pray that God gives him some peace in his heart.
The precedent set by the Chris Watts trial of being lenient to child killers at the urging of family members should be unequivocally disavowed by the sentence delivered to Timothy Jones Jr.
He destroyed this whole family, prayers are forever with them. What a monster.....
For some reason the family can’t admit that they somehow produced a psychopath who felt he had the right (as a god in his own sick mind) to torture and finally murder five innocent children. If anyone deserves death it’s him.
They have been over all this more than once already...
Even with the pictures of those babies being shown, no type of emotions are shown by Jr! WOW!!!
Omg, he assumed his son threw his children off a cliff, but actually proceeded to strangle his children and drive around with their bodies for a week and described the remains as “smelling like shit”, and he DOESN’T think (lowercase) tim jr should get the death penalty? Unreal.
The "smells like shit" comment he made is one of the most revealing insights into his character i've seen in this entire trial.
C P agreed 100%
Narcissists usually have a narcissist parent!
Good Lord is he ever going to get sentenced ?
Should people really rush a potential death penalty? NO
Right, talking about dragging something out!!
Calling a grown, 38 year old, man "Little Timmy" is pitiful .
Joanne L he gave his kids the death penalty with his own hands
The system walks on egg shells when it comes to punishing these 100% guilty monsters....but seem to FORGET the children who will never see the light of day
At what point does he say that he doesn’t want his son to get the death penalty?
Time please?
Why is there so much COUGHING in court? Every single court video people can’t 👏🏽 stop 👏🏽 the 👏🏽 coughing 👏🏽
Lola Letty I don’t hear it anymore lol
My heart goes out to the father & family. You can tell he was such a good grandpa and loved those babies. Such a tragedy! He definitely deserves the death penalty for this horrific crime! Let justice be served. So this family can start to heal! Prayers sent 🙏
Kelli Roberts listen to him talk
To tim on ☎️
Not a good grandfather. He left his innocent grandchildren in his sons hands.... knowing son is a nutcase!
wait you mean to tell me he killed your grand children and you don't want him to die!!
My heart breaks for his father. What a good man in a sad situation.
This has probably taken a toll on this father and you can tell that he is so broken. This is why I feel so sorry for both sides of families who have to go through such a horrific ordeal. Before I became a loving mother myself, I leaned towards the death penalty law. However, when I became a mother, and as I matured in age through life,..now an elderly woman; mother; wife; grandmother, I have conflicting issues with the death penalty. I don’t understand nor say that I am right,.. but this kind of situation has to be on the list of top worse ordeals as a parent.💔
If my child was this evil I would flip the switch personally
Then you’re no better than the killer.
We need more men like him. Poor guy
Poor man. God give him the strength to heal.
This is so sad for everyone involved. I wish he had gotten help for whatever was wrong with him
mimi lynn56 I agree!! This is nightmare!
mimi lynn56 he timmie jr should have been sterilized as a teen once diagnosed as crazy
Love Pet Crazy is not considered a disorder. He needed help from a psychiatrist to determine what his underlying problem was. Men are not as apt to seek mental help as women are. If he was diagnosed earlier it would have most likely ended up in a much better outcome. The children may have been placed back with their biological mother or a guardian. So many do not seek help for the fact they will be seen as “Crazy”. That phrase needs to be put away.
elderly poodle agree i just used in error, in reaction to his crime, he is mentally ill and also has a possibility of evil possessed. That may not be in any book but does exist: Watts, Rosenbaum
I feel sorry for the father the most...
He shows genuine pain about his grandkids
And pain for his son..
I feel more responsible than anyone....he says
Poor man...heartbreaking
Terrible case.....those poor children and what they went through....may they rest in peace now🌹❤
Mary Deakins no I feel most sorry for the mother but I do also feel bad for the monsters father.
My heart breaks for the mom & the way Tim Sr. talked about her is disgusting!
That poor grandpa. My heart breaks for him.
He is creepy as hell. Dead eyes 👀
Since he was a baby
This poor man😭😭😭😭😭
He seems a lovely grandpa 😢
Where is Amber or any of her family. Where is that side of the family
She broke down on the stand, screaming -It was too much for her.
She didnt wanna be there for this its toooo much and his lawyers kept trying to drag her into court .. its sick..
mimi lynn56 I don't like to see my ex. But we run into each other on major holidays. He has not left me with much enthusiasm, but he didn't kill our children. If he had, i better not run into him, because he would not live through the encounter. Why would anyone find it odd that the mother or her family decided to skip the rest of this debacle?
Awwww.... that poor man his heart is truly broken lost his own son and his babies. So hurt that man will never be able to truly get over this. Piece of his heart is gone forever. 😞🥺☹️😢
His son will live for 50 more years.
To me it is like they are showing family photos to help bring out the tears, I don't think other deaths to the family should have a bearing on the punishment for Tim jr..If they all wanted death off the table they should have saved everyone the pain of this trial. But they want it all.
I wholeheartedly agree with you that the other losses should not have any bearing on Tim Jrs punishment!
I think he had convinced himself that he would be not guilty by reason of insanity.
The question though is would the prosecution take death off the table? My late little boy was murdered in April, and if they pursue death, they [the DA] said they don’t have to offer a plea deal depending on the circumstance.
@@shadxcruz So sorry to hear about your son.
I'm pretty sure it's too late for any type of plea deal. They would have had to try that before the trial. I do believe the death penalty is an option for these jurors. I don't think there are any laws stating that they must have plea deals on any case.
Plea deals are offered to either side from the other side but I don't think it has to be given.
EarthBound Spirit I know it’s too late...I meant it in a hypothetical situation as in if would the prosecution have done so prior to trial.
I’d be begging for my son to get the death penalty if he did something like that.
I would do it myself and wear the consequences. Save the cost to society for my failings as a parent. How do you raise such an entitled controlling narcissist with no empathy....his children were his possessions, his former wife his property...his father enabled him and made excuses for his precious star son all of his life. He is still making excuses.
Yes, his family isn't perfect and neither is anyones’s BUT I find it heartbreaking that they're taking this loss harder than this demon is. His removal of the pool had me in pieces and don't get me started on the tattoos. 😭😭😭
I think the best thing to do here is to focus on the positive. Because every time I hear of the things he did, I want to throw up again. This children are all Angles 😂 now and in the hands of God. They will never know hurt, pain or hunger again. Let's think and look at it that way from now on, please.
While I understand the defence is just doing their job and that trauma from severe abuse and neglect in childhood can have a negative impact on you as an adult BUT the key to being a successful adult is understanding that only you are responsible for the direction your life takes and the choices you make. I just find this expectation that you deserve a “perfect childhood” is ridiculous. In most cases we are lucky enough to have parents who genuinely love us and provided for us but all humans are flawed and beyond the basics there is no one right way to raise a child and most parents do the best they can with what they know. Many people face challenges during their childhood and in fact often highly successful people will credit the difficulties they faced growing up as helping to make them who they are. Children need to learn that there will always be hardships in life and that life isn’t always fair and the only thing we truly have full control over is ourselves, how we behave and the choices we make. An easy life with no challenges doesn’t help children to develop resilience and it’s important to encourage them to face their problems and find ways to deal with them. It’s not failure that defines us it’s how we respond to it.
God bless pappy, my hurt is broke with his..praying for the whole family on both sides...
I really hope he does not get the death penalty. He'll just keep appealing it and drag his family and Amber through hearings about it for the rest of their lives. He'll start "hearing voices" again and some quack will help get his conviction overturned. Just lock him up forever and forget about him.
C.m . Totally agree. It actually costs more to put him on death row . He will sit there for years and years better to just give him life without parole. Feel so sorry for his family. Because whatever has happened he is still their son/grandson and they love. him , as most parents/grandparents love their child unconditionally. It's all just just so sad .
Those beautiful ❤️ children 😢
He’s clearly being well fed in prison. I’d starve him to death.
Give him a slice of bread and a few grapes like he feed the poor kids for there school lunch, let him have that or oatmeal for the rest of his misserable life.
What is the point of having this man take his shirt off in right of the entire courtroom? That is ridiculous, defense team.
Sir, you were a light in your babies eyes and in their hearts. A truly great grandad who had no control of your sons decisions to do the unthinkable. May God bless you with some form of peace. You are not responsible for your sons decisions. 🙏 Andy Kelly 🇬🇧
