#CourtTV - What do YOU think?
Lock him up
Guilty life in prison on 2 accounts of first degree murder .
I wish you had posted the opening statements also😢
Sorry but this is death penalty l. Dope is not an excuse
GUILTY AS SIN!!! ⛓️🔒⛓️
Since he's repeatedly declared in front of the Court that he's unable to control himself - and murdered two people in such a calculated manner, he should never be allowed to walk freely amongst the rest of us.
Agreed.
😂😂😂 and I know for a fact that if this happened to you, you do worse or the same so shut up and be honest
Amen
His eyes are soooo evil.. bye bye boy
🎯💯💥
He provoked himself when he planted that listening device. He searched out being provoked. My vote… GUILTY of first degree murder x2!!
GREAT POINT!
Yeah it's insane that they are using his spying and stalking as the defence 🤦♀️
That is so smartly and perfectly put! Very educated comment, opinion and such an exact description of what he did!
I don't believe his story about Ray giving him that provoking type nodd either. There wasn't even enough time.
What does his character Tony Montana think?
Double murder and he is still trying to justify his actions.
Yes. And he’ll be utterly astounded when the verdicts in and he realises no one was buying his BS.
@@josimpson7999 His last performance in public.
He can honestly say he is his father🤣
If his gun was in a safe in the car why did he take it out and go inside with it. He intended to use it. Very arrogant man.
Virginia has open carry law. He had the gun on his pants belt
You are being too kind... The defendant is a Sociopathic, self-righteous maniac. @HeraclitusThoughtBubbles
@@MissteryDivathey were in California where the laws are different and he did say he didn’t have a permit to carry.
But the Defense want to go to Sharia law., where humiliation is cause to kill someone..
Ali committed a honor killing, that is murder.
@@MissteryDivaHe‘ll be charged extra for illegaly using the gun since he doesn‘t have a permit to carry.
Nobody has a right to murder defenseless people or abuse,then blame their horrible childhoods 😢
I think a lot of people do stuff because of terrible childhoods. Though what you said is right
@@kazrutch463 Hi there. I had an absolutely horrible childhood, and I’d like to think I’ve turned out to be a nice, empathetic person who would never hurt anyone on purpose (physical or otherwise). Not everyone who was abused, etc. turns out to be an abuser. People need to take responsibility for their feelings and actions. More people need to seek out help but never do, hence terrible acts like this crime becomes reality. It’s sad in so many ways, for everyone.
He should of had Mommy called dcf in his country and had daddy removed from home
Absolutely. This is so sad if you hide under adhd kind of disease. My son has autism and he so sweet and empathetic. These people will ruin some innocent mentally challenged people.
@@TinaBali-om2nx "these people"
Someone in the comments said that the prosecutor was nasty........are you for real. When are defendants entitled to be handled gently? He is accused of murdering two people, not a traffic infringement.
Fr!
Everyone still deserves a fair trial so yes defendants are entitled to being handled gently
@@hakimmihoubi8544omg get over yourself
The prosecutor wasn’t nasty, she was doing her job which was to reveal to the jury the defendants actions and that included his decision to murder two people, and he was hardly the shrinking violet on the stand! He used profanity and dropped the F bomb numerous times - and he was never admonished for doing so or his combative behaviour. It’s not in the handbook of cross examination that defendants are ‘entitled to being handled gentle’, what utter nonsense. This monster deserves ALL he gets.
Criminals think alike.
Guilty,,, He went there, He pulled his gun, He shot and killed Ana & Ray. Period .
So Guilty,what a waste of a trial!
I hope Justice at least prevails: 1st Degree!
Did he always carry his gun into his daughter’s home or was it just for the mommy busted visit?
@@johnmartyn9018 This is California so we will see😏
PLUS he's proven beyond ANY possible doubt he's a pathological liar. Whatever defense he thinks he has is just all in his head. No one else (except for his defense lawyers) believe his excuses and justifications.
I experienced long term child abuse as a kid, got cheated on multiple times in active alcohol/ drug addiction as an adult, and never once thought that killing was the solution. Not once.
I hope you have been able to find a much happier and more peaceful life now.
Exactly
This guy is a very dangerous man. He will do this again if not convicted. Extreme danger to society.
Absolutely agree
💯
There’s no chance he won’t be convicted. Even if the jury says it wasn’t premeditated he’s going away for a very very long time.
He genuinely seems to believe he did nothing wrong. THAT'S what's so frightening about him.
DOUGSTER+ DON'T EVER SAY NOT CONVICTED WITH A DOUBLE MURDER AND ALL THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE, HE'S FRIED
Using drugs isn’t an excuse
Well it is used as a legitimate defense now ! Especially in California 😮
If using cocaine is illegal .. he should be be charged with 1st degree murder + illegal drug use!
Not cocaine, but there are many mind altering drugs in this world. You can do many things you don’t even remember or be paralyzed when drugged with certain substances. You can become psychotic, delusional, suicidal. Drugs absolutely do affect your behavior and decision making
@@Littlekitten_too bad most of the junkies are in Florida 😮
@@josephmarzullo sadly it’s spreading everywhere! Stay safe 🙏🏼
"It was not if he was going to kill, it was when." This statement that the prosecutor made, *THIS* is what people who don't really understand relational domestic violence don't realise.
Abusive men, once they get physically abusive, it's just a matter of time until they kill their girlfriend/wife.
The idea that the woman leaving is all she has to do to remove herself from the abuse and the abuser is so, so ignorant.
Most women who leave end up dead even some who plan their exit quietly.
Without a strong and active support network, they don't stand a chance.
If you don't understand domestic violence and the impact it has on the victim, keep your opinions to yourself. Victim blaming shows how ignorant people are and continue to be about DV.
Well said! Thank you for your thoughtful and wise comment. 🙏
💯
Right!? I know everyone deserves a defense in this country but THIS defense is so vile and offensive.
Exactly. This tragic ending is almost inevitable in abusive relationships. Which is why we desperately need to educate girls, maybe in high school health class, about all the warning signs and how critical it is to have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy so you can end the relationship while you still can, before things escalate. I don't care how much you think you love a guy, if he's exhibiting DV warning signs, it's literally a matter of your life or death. And we need to educate boys on domestic violence as well. It's like the topic of sexual consent--both girls and boys need to understand this issue. But girls--please!!!--ZERO TOLERANCE policy!
That’s because the narcissist loses control prior to the discard phase. They want to maintain control and when the woman leaves, they’ve lost that. So, they control by love bombing…the groceries and flowers and when she rejected that, she was immediately in danger. Do I think she could have handled it differently? Yes. But each of us in this situation, does what they feel they need to do to keep the narcissist happy until they are gone. She only did one thing wrong, misjudged how far he would go to maintain the control.
They also keep finding ways to involve themselves in the woman’s life, ie fixing their car, using the child as bait and being nice and making believe they will change cause they love the child, paying rent, etc. They aren’t doing it to be nice, it’s to retain control.
This is just a story of a narcissist scorned who can’t bear it, can’t allow disrespect or to not look like the good guy. SHE had to look like the bad guy, the cheater, that’s the reason for the constant need to record. He even said it , people needed to see she was the bad guy he’s always said she was.
But in the end, catching her in the act wasn’t enough to assuage the anger. Only death would be enough but then that’s not enough, even after death in the trial she has to be the bad guy.
He’s just a classic narcissist and ladies, this will always be the ending of a relationship with men like this and men, this will always be the ending with women like this!
Defense not only blames Ana for her own murder but their friends too. Disgusting!
How does the defense sleep at night?! Disgusting!!🤨
That's how it works.
That’s what defense does when they are representing this kind of garbage, nothing to work with but guilt.
@@monical.2417easily because she’s a critical part of the justice system lol
@@Piat65 defense motioned for a Mistrial 🙄
Noone provoked him he is just a controlling monster he even hit his mother
He walked in his apt and his wife was sitting in top of a dude he had intense issues with - he was endlessly petrified that dude would go for sex with Ana and he knew Ana would ( and did) to torture him.
@@DASHDOT51 Boo fuckin Hoo.
In no way does that equate to a justified murder.
He was drug-addled loser who couldn't move on.
Also, it wasn't his apartment anymore. He moved out but kept a key in order to stalk her.
He never should have been there.
Some cultures don't respect women.
@@DASHDOT51He wasn’t invited
Yep. Because according to his twisted reasoning, he provoked Ana just as much if not more. He taunted her with his sex with that "chick" he met in the elevator. She could have tried to spy on him or planned to shoot him. No, she just wanted to move on.
After all the alleged "child abuse" he became his father's son. Mysogenistic and chauvinistic
The abused often become the abuser. But some of us do not.
Narcissist!
I am beyond shocked and angry for what he did. Him hitting his mother?! This is unforgivable.
Talking about his childhood experiences does nothing but re-enforce why this happened.
It is not an excuse its a reason
We only know what he told us. It was apparent that he was a difficult child and adult. I don't believe he was abused. He blamed everything on everyone else and he lied so I can't believe anything he said. He broke her and then killed her!
Well done to the prosecutor of this case. His disrespect was unfair towards you, yet you delivered a closing argument putting him in his place.
Prosecutor got busted more than once doing unethical stuff. She tossed out in front of jury a bunch of BS - than with jury cleared she owned she played dirty. She d id it again a couple of days later and when she realized he busted her again she changed her tale. She did a third time attempting to make them think he was researching chopping off heads - records revealed he had started to get gross p ics and was worried about his child.
@@DASHDOT51What records are those? His lying words
This is 1st degree murder...he had this plan all along..
Even if he didn't think about it until he walked down the hall, it is still considered premeditation bc he had time to stop and prevent the tragedy. Even just firing the second bullet or is premeditation bc he could have stopped. Sometimes jurors like to define it to mean actually planning it, but it just requires a second of forethought and action.
The fact that Ana screamed and was in the worst fear for the seconds that she witnessed Ray get hit and probably knew she was next.
@@miaknig3130thanks for breaking it down . That is 100% true
Its clearly a crime of passion
@@MissClaudettes clearly i agree
This prosecutor was phenomenal 👏
Agree
Actually the defence attorney seemed way better, she was just between a rock and a hard place with this case.
@@subst4nce973 I disagree. Victim blaming is never a good strategy. I agree that she had no other choice as insanity was off the table. I actually think they were also manipulated by Ali to do what he thought was the best defense. Otherwise, they will have never let him take the stand. They know how impulsive he is and disrespecful to judges, attorneys, etc. He had his full narcisim, control and lies in full display up there, apart from the fact that the man just cant control his emotions, trying to control the narrative all the time, and the jurors saw right through. I'm shocked he didn't yell at his own defense lawyers, probabably because they did what he told them to.
Trying to get this man to answer a question is obviously no easy task. Watch his testimony, so many times he was told to answer the questions, not ask questions. He rarely could answer a simple yes or no. Always trying to control the narrative. I was mystified how he can argue anything after the fact he carried a loaded gun into the apartment and started firing immediately! He is a psychopath
This man is very misogynistic. He thinks it's okay to beat up women and cheat on his wife, while it's not okay Ana to see other men? This is beyond cruel and hypocritical. I am very disgusted by his actions towards his wife.
He was taught well. Smfh
@@stormyjade2907 Pretty much. I have zero respects for him due to his actions.
What makes me laugh is that he thought he was famous or a tick took star 😂 and most of us didn't even know who he was??even the stripper he slept with didn't care he was on tick tock...he's just a loser
Unfortunately, this is how many middle eastern men are raised. It’s cultural and religious ignorance. What’s really disturbing is that he was raised here but he still carried the warped worldview of his ancestors. Many of us who immigrated to the west have been able to break the cycle and teach our children to be better human beings. But this family was stuck in the medieval times! I hope this monster never walks amongst free society again. He would kill again and again.
Ana had been sleeping with a male he had tried t o make amends with for some time. He never cheated - he did look up escorts but LE never found any hiring (payment) for such services. One night while his wife was out drugging , dancing and drinking a female came on to him in elevator - she was crying - he did offer her some coke an d wine. His penis failed to work and she left. He never contacted her again. She continued to drink drug and dance the evenings away........................................
The defense atty' s argument is nuts. She didn't stop loving him in a months time. Ali has a history of beating her, stalking her, recording her, controlling her. Meanwhile, he's having sex with a stripper. This man is a danger to society and should never be released from prison.
But the Defense want to go to Sharia law., where humiliation is cause to kill someone..
Ali committed a honor killing, that is murder.
Psycho
I guarantee you he was rough with the sex worker or treated her disrespectfully and that's why she wanted nothing to do with him afterwards, she caught a glipse of what he was. then finding out he had been dishonest about the status of his relationship and now she was in the middle of it...I feel bad for her too
Said he only shoved is mother. Yeah, right. Bet she got slapped around too.😉
@@mischr13 She wasnt a sex worker she was the neighbour, thats why she went back to her room to get the vibrator cause she was so scared. Made no sense.
Classic narcissist . He had an excuse for everything! He is guilty of 1st degree premeditated murder
The prosecutor is amazing. Articulate, graceful and bursting with intelligence!!!
He literally blamed everyone except himself. Typical of a narcissist. Please for the benefit of other women find this guy guilty of first-degree murder two counts of it.
Not to worry he will be gone from society for life.He was mentally healthy enough to stand trial so he’s blowing hot air.He needs to save it for the big house
I'm so glad the jury got it right!!! Sociopathic people like him are a danger to society, and narcissism is a maladaptive personality disorder (there is no cure or treatment for it)!!
Absolutely. Are his parents to blame cause he s ugly his mom to give birth to him without asking, the man which invented the weapons, the one that created the women...... The wind the sun, the weather.......
Being coked out of your mind does not make you innocent.
Especially when it's against the law to do those types of drugs!! Lol
He was very used to the effects of Coke. He had been using for a long time. He was not “out of his mind” because it was a first-time use and he had a bad reaction. He’s just a coward who was as sane as everyone in that room.
He will never be free. He should never be free. It’s just a shame that his incarceration cannot bring back Anna or Ray who had their whole lives ahead of them.
HOW IS THIS MAN JUST SITTING THERE WITH NO EMOTION AFTER HE JUST SAW HIMSELF MURDERING HIS WIFE
Empty soul
Because he’s Scarface!
Dark Triad personality
There were many days of cross - the tears just flowed.
He's a sociopath/psychopath. That's how.
An uncontrollable,egotistical,lying,excuse.....he is an intentional murderer.
Him bringing the gun proves premeditation
He carried it with him all the time so how is that premeditation?
I carry my gun daily so that's not true. If you have the right to own a gun you have the right to carry it.
@@Jessica_Crease87 Thats right. It doesnt mean anything
Ya think
@@Piat65 Grow up!
100% premeditated! He spied on her, heard her with another man and went to confront them locked and loaded!
Shot and killed them both!
AND has the audacity to testify to gain pity?
Wait, WHAT!?
Boy-bye! 👋
This defense attorney is out of her mind.
But the Defense want to go to Sharia law., where humiliation is cause to kill someone..
Ali committed a honor killing, that is murder.
…..and out of her league against a brilliant prosecutor. Chalk and cheese!
Unfortunately he has the right to a defense and she chose to be a defense lawyer. I’m sure that she felt conflicted about having to defend this cowardly POS.
@@enigma_-_79 Defence lawyers are paid more - the bonus for having to legally defend scumbag, lying POS’s.
Yep, she did the best she could with a horrible set of facts. He’s 1000% guilty & it must have been quite difficult to come up with a defense closing argument.
I know it’s their job, but hearing a woman defense attorney defend a male abuser and bash a woman victim just makes me sick on a different level. 🤮
Great pointe!
Then STOP WATCHING trial cases. No one forced you to watch. That's how it works. For the record, she was just as mentally abusive as Ali was.
FIRST DEGREE... guilty! He definitely planned it.
And thanks for pointing out whose “burden it is to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt”…the prosecution NAILED it and your psychopath client is DONE!!!
The guy is pure psychopathic and sick as he told on stand, and it’s first degree premeditated murder x2! How awful 😣
Way Too much time on his hands for his messed up mind
Psychopaths don't really show emotion like this guy. I think he's more of a sociopath if anything.
She was his property. He could not allow his property to escape. Ergo he eliminated that property which happened to be a sentient being. He is guilty guilty guilty. He is a bully.
She was not allowed to leave. Now if he had decided to kick her out all would have been fine. Controlling
She was a possession to him
Narcissists think everyone is a possession.
@@carolvassallo26 it seems with a lot of these idiots like another one is p diddy. He felt he was ok to do whatever and get away with it. And this creep is the same way. Diddy and this murderer need to be put away for good. They r dangerous people
But the Defense want to go to Sharia law., where humiliation is cause to kill someone..
Ali committed a honor killing, that is murder.
The prosecutor did a masterful job of allowing him to show his true nature. His outburst when asked about viewing teen porn showed that he is so quick to rage......even when he has every incentive to control himself. Imagine what he was like when no one was watching!!!~
Exactly. And she got him talking didn't she. Excellent strategy.
Did the prosecutor show proof of teen porn? I think most people would get irate if falsely accused of something like that.
Which backfired on her and served the Defense because it shows he doesn't know how to regulate himself, has a temper, is easy to snap and is unhinged - all of which makes it plausible that he could've committed the crimes in the "heat of the moment".
People react that way when they are guilty more so than not lol
@@gingersmith2888 He later admitted on cross that he did look up porn when questioned.
His lawyer did not want to anger him by mentioning the "teen" portion I'm guessing, but he hesitated until she said "It isn't illegal to look up porn on the internet, you can answer honestly..." and then he said "yes".
I'm guessing he didn't want to admit to it initially.
He planted a listening device. He drove 15 mins to her apt. He parked on the street. Used a key card he should not have had since he moved out. It took 3mins to take elevator to go to the apt. He could have changed his mind at any time. But all he could think about was Ana was showing no respect for him. He shot Ray first so Ana could see what was coming to her.imo. Drugs and alcohol are no excuse to commit a crime. We have seen his temper flare through out this trial. It's definitely premeditated 1st degree. He is a danger to society. Should not see the light a day!
To me a crime of passion is when you perhaps come in from work and find your spouse in bed with someone else and lose it. That did not happen in this case.
Exactly! He put himself in the situation to kill them. He knew what was happening and took a firearm with him. So many chances to turn around but he still went. The fact he told his friend not to tell her he knew and was going there says he wanted to catch them by surprise. Probably to use it as an excuse for crime of passion. He is disgusting
Or he shot Ray first because he is a coward and was afraid that Ray would overpower him if he didn’t immobilise him. He wasn’t afraid of 115lb woman, but he was afraid of a big guy who visited the gym and was in great condition.
@@enigma_-_79Prison is going to be quite an adventure for him. He will be completely surrounded by big strong guys who work out regularly, but this time he won't have a gun. Sucks to be you, Ali! 😭
"Ali Abulaban is not a murderer. Yes, he killed Ana, but..."
No. No "but." Sit down. He killed Ana and Ray. Poor Ray gets forgotten about so much in this.
Yes, poor Ray was really the innocent victim in all this. My condolences to his loved ones. RIP❤
Reminds me so much of the O.J. Simpson case--Ron Goldman got virtually forgotten during that trial.
The prosecutor is brilliant! She was relentless & thorough.
His attorney has bought his victim performance 100%. He clearly showed his aggression & disrespect while on the stand. He's completely comfortable with lying & playing the innocent victim. Pathetic!
Hopefully the jurors will dissect the evidence over & over. He clearly planned to kill them...hoping it would teach her that final lesson. Respect him or else!
Was no accident he killed her friend first. He needed her to see him do it.
On many occasions his impulsivity was clearly evident.
I hated his long winded answers. But I loved how the true him couldn't be hidden. It gave all of us and the jury disgust. But I'm glad this prosecutor did her job. She was the best for this trial. 🎉🎉 Anna will soon get HER CLOSURE
@@cristysanders4660I totally agree with you. Prosecutor did a great job. It showed the jury what kind of person he is. He could not stand a woman putting him in his place. I'm glad he took the stand although I think it was a mistake on defenses part. It shows the person he is, couldn't blame it on drugs.
His attorney must defend, her heart was not in it
Everything had to be his terms even her death....
Find the man guilty and send him to prison for life .. he believed his wife was his property
Some cultures treat their cattle better than women.
I wouldn't be within 20 ft of him in that courtroom..he is dangerous..he is a killer. He should be surrounded by security guards..
Well, ive found a new pen-pal

@@Gabriel-hf1yy LOL no one has a sense of humour!
Enough with victim blaming.
So true and I'm sure the jury isn't liking it at all.
Amen!
I truly wish they would’ve posted the entire trial.
I know! I think they have all the footage if they were there to film any of it. I watch a lot of trials, and from what I've seen of what I could find this is one of the more bizarre ones. This is a classic case of what DV can evolve into, with such a controlling egotistical maniac.
@@lilzabug
Men who beat women are cowards. This guy gives all men a bad name. He is worthless and should be forgotten, left in his prison cell with Big Bubba - his next wife.
@@lilzabug I think they will after the verdict
Dude is like a male version of Jodi arias
Thank you, that’s what came to my mind too. Yin and Yang of the same coin. Only thing about the trauma of watching her crazy testimony for 21 days is that it made Ali’s 3 days not so bad in comparison ( that’s saying a lot, I know.)
Respect is EARNED and not DEMANDED
Exactly
No question. Murder in first degree - 2 counts,guilty.
Ahh pookie do you want a cookie with your pacifier?
Great closing, Ms. Prosecutor 🎉🎉❤
I bet he goes to sleep with a HUGE SMILE knowing anna would never ever get a chance of finding true love. Sick man.
She wasn’t after true love. She was hustling for a green card and citizenship.
Yes, that came to an end.
He will recreate the murders in his own mind, trying to convince himself that he is a big man.
Fortunately, the serious offenders in the prison system will show him, regularly, what a nasty little coward he really is.
Had he himself not planted the listening device, he wouldn't have known that they were together. Had he himself not been coked out of his head, his rage wouldn't have been out of control. And nobody would have died. He is guilty at his own hand!
And I definitely do not believe this was the first time he planted a listening device. I’m sure he had been doing it for years. Doing it this day and finding a man there wasn’t a coincidence
Imagine if instead of planting a listening device, he chose to use that time to work on himself. He could have been going to AA/NA meetings. He could have been exercising and getting healthy. He could have been making his goofy little tiktok videos. He could have, and should have been going to therapy for his supposedly awful childhood and mental health issues... He chose to be a pathetic stalker instead, and here we are.🤷
This guy is so full of himself & I can't imagine what poor Ana had to deal with! He deserves LWOP
Lock him up for ever!
Defense closing is too long and full of excuses.
The defence is to victim blame. If this isn't first degree muder, then it is setting a very dangerous case law.
It's the old precedence of blaming the victim. Old as the hills. But hopefully jurors today will see through it and make him accountable for his actions.
HIS CHILDHOOD DOES NOT MAKE A PERSON WANT TO KILL THEIR SPOUCE
It is far more complex than that. As I have stated I watched all the testimony - much nonsense ou t there. She cheated - not him. She dumped their child on him all the time. He never once stopped her fro,m drugging dancing drinking. She did what s he wanted with his money.
@DASHDOT51 he didn't cheat?? he litry told Ana he had sex with someone on her period & she gave him oral the next day. And he used a vibrator on a 19 y/o
How is this not cheating??
@@DASHDOT51they didn't show the whole trial so how did you see it all unless you were inside the cr just curious
SPELLING ERRORS DO
Imma have to disagree with the Prosecution on one issue. If a father finds some Predator assaulting his child, and rightfully unalived that Monster. He should never be charged with any crime. That act would certainly be covered by Defense of Self of Family Members. And hopefully the jury wouldn't vote to convict any Parent who defended their child from a Evil Pedophile.
I lived with abusive parents it was a living hell, they fought constantly and I believe he would have eventually killed his daughter if he would had the chance. If he really cared for his daughter he would have pleaded guilty and just gone away. I pray that Ana’s daughter NEVER watches this circus he brought to the forefront for his “Alibi”… he is a terrorist… he terrorized his family. He is a misfit, a coward and a malignant narcissist. Ugh this was so horrible to watch this train wreck. It’s like watching a murder in slow motion. RIP Ana and Ray ❤
It was hard to watch but hopefully this trial being published will warn other women about what ultimately happens when they don’t leave controlling relationships in a very safe manner.
Never, ever tell your abuser that you are leaving them. Make a plan, keep it very secret and move as far away from the abuser as possible. Put thousands of miles between you, and never, ever go back to him.
A coward who beats you, does not love you. It’s impossible.
It sickening blaming the victims and making him innocent
"victim" was an adulterer coke head and said she didn't want "his kid" while was too busy partying and hopping from one husband to another and then another...
Nothing like blaming the victims. Gross.
Dont they know by now that victims of domestic violence that are truly afraid of their abusers that they would say what the abusers want to hear to make them not get angry and want to beat their victims over and over again especially if he would threaten her life and everyone else in her life also. He already showed how he gets amped up when he doesnt hear what he wants or dislikes peoples opinions about his behavior or about how he treated his wife. I mean he even went off on his neighbor for no reason and made him feel uneasy to the point that neighbor felt he needed to get away from his presence. This guy is a serious psycho and needs mental help and belongs in prison for life. PERIOD!!
I couldn't agree more, with all you have so sensibly pointed out 😊
The gun itself is premeditation.
IF HE ACCEPTED IT HE WOULDN'T HAVE KILLED HER !!!!
I truly wish i could see the entire trial. Tragic yet informative case about DV and the false narrative often seen on social media. Thank you court tv!
You tube
@@Piat65 can't find it

Grizzly true crime
Yeah, for some reason the entire trial is not available. Just what’s being posted by Court TV. Maybe after the sentencing??
This man an evil man. He slapped his beautiful wife in front of his sister hope he never gets out from jail for life he took two innocent lives this man is 100% guilty
He slapped his mom too
He PUNCHED her in her face in front of his sister, in the parking lot of a restaurant, in Japan in front of an entire bar, in their apt…etc..etc
There is no question that this is a double first degree murder. Ali has no legitimate excuses for his actions.
You can't have a crime of passion when you knowingly bring a gun with you. He lost his control over her very life and took ot from her and her loved ones. He has such an attitude.
Guilty. First degree
Guilty 1st degree double murder....this guy is dangerous!! No parole, ever..
I missed closing agreements, looking forward to this premiere
Thank you @Court TV
GUILTY! 2 counts 1st degree
Brilliant closing arguments from the Prosecution. He is fuming trying to look calm !
Especially since the prosecutor is a woman!
That parking spot analogy by the prosecution was fantastic.
Can we all just acknowledge Ana was beyond beautiful, young, loved by many.....I am so sorry her life was taken. Rip beautiful Ana and Ray
She was absolutely stunning! Waaaaaay out of his league.
I heard "Show some respect". I have cheap ear buds. Good point on both sides, yet do you want this guy moving next door to you in 11 to 20 years.
But the Defense want to go to Sharia law., where humiliation is cause to kill someone..
Ali committed a honor killing, that is murder.
@@biyy488 not really his whole shtick was blaming his parents and upbringing when any American dude could've done what he did hopped up on blow. seeing your wife laying with another man was considered prima facie evidence of "heat of passion" for a long time.
I definitely heard it too
Yes I heard it too. Everyone deserves a defense no matter how much I feel this is definitely 1st degree. She didn't have much to work with. Also, if he ever got out of prison God help the next woman he finds
Yep it's very clear !! He heard it too he's just lying like always!!
Guilty of 1st degree
Even the judge knows that the defence is wasting his time.Ali already fried his ass by defending himself 🤷🏻♂️
I think the opening statements should have been posted also.
If you type opening statements for X trial in the search engine, you'll find it.
@@9babyblu I’ve tried that. Nobody has it.
@@9babyblunope not for this trial
@@bullitt0713
You're right. After I wrote that comment I went to look for it because I was curious and wanted to watch it. I could find certain points of it plus closing but ya, not opening. Which is so stupid considering all the facts about this case. 🤔
@@9babyblu
It should be in the court docket online but will only be more of the same, “He was out of his mind and didn’t know what he was doing” BS by the defense victim blaming.
I'm guessing this deliberation is going to be pretty quick.
Man, that Defense Attorney is a piece of work.
I suppose she's just doing her job, of course, but I wonder if she would be so nonchalant regarding this double MURDER were it her daughter, sister, brother, or son that had been so callously and violently disposed of in such a calculated manner.
He parked in a convenient spot, avoided the lobby cameras, brought a deadly weapon to a location where he knew that he was going to have a confrontational meeting, prepped himself for said meeting by snorting a ton of blow and afterwards, rewarded himself by taking with him a trophy of his crime; a photo to remind himself of the comeuppance she "deserved" for all of the "trouble" she put him through.
The attorney can do all of the victim blaming she wants, it still doesn't justify what this drug-addled man-child has done.
At any time, he could have taken some responsibility, gotten himself some help and left that woman alone.
So tired of the "woe is me" BS in this trial.
We either have laws, or we do not. I believe the laws will ultimately prevail.
She was gorgeous; he could not handle her physical beauty. He became too controlling and obsessed. He deserves to be in prison.
she got a lot of surgery and makeup. you can see what she actually looked like on the filipino news channel.
@@georgestephenopolous5508 ok and?
@@georgestephenopolous5508 what's your point?
Anna physically resembles his mother. He grew up witnessing his mother take his father’s abuse his entire life so he expected Anna too as well. He always accused her of cheating because his mother eventually cheated on his father. He hated it. Even slapped his mother across the face when he found out
Wow defense: victim blaming much??? Not a good move
Folks get victim blaming and facts as stated by homicide folks mixed up.
He got confused and thought he was in the Middle East where such murders are condoned.
💯
Yup.
No in the Middle East such murders are nnot condoned.
@@josiziade7758They are. Anna would have been stoned to death there. We know. We wised up. Western ignorance grew educated.
This is racist.
STOP BLAMING THE VICTUM !!!!!!!!
You heard it, it started in Japan and she STAYED!!!
I know it's so disgusting!!!! 😡😤😠
@@naomideleon8363 Its disgusting what she exposed her daughter to all the DV just so she could stay in America!!! Its so disgusting!!!
Google translate turned this into "Stop blaming the food!" LOL
Did you know that when you translate this comment it says stop blaming the food lol
He treated her as property. In no way did he plan to let her be free of his abuse. She should of moved out of that apt to where he didn't know her address.
He walked in and his wife was sitting under a dudes legs snuggling.
@@DASHDOT51She had already split from him, he just wasn’t accepting it.
@@DASHDOT51 But he didn't just "walk in". He planted a listening device to hear when she had a male visitor, took his gun, drove all the way there, and barged in to confront them. There's a huge difference.
@@DASHDOT51Well if you don’t want your wife to find a better guy, don’t smash her face in with your fist. Be logical.
@@chilo8187 a DV victim should always move to be safe. Staying in their apt was a costly mistake.
The way he talks about how Ana and him first met, that she dragged him to the dance floor and he stole her from the man she was seeing. He really is trying to convince himself that he is Scarface, as that's how it happened in the movie. He talks like Scarface in hi pretrial hearing.
He keeps glimpsing at the judge before making the devil sign to the camera.
He makes me sick how he thinks saying sorry and buying flowers makes it okay to repeatedly assault Ana. How dare she phone the police a month after one of his attacks! I've been abused and that's what my ex used to do. They love to see us cry.
Please don't stay in an abusive relationship no matter how hard it is to leave.
Leaving the relationship is the most dangerous time plan ahead secretly and runaway as far as u can
Where has he made the devil sign?
@@smendoza7233 I seen him do it more than once while testifying.
What the hell is "the devil sign"? Sorry to say it but you sound delusional. There's no need to imagine he's a devil worshiper or something--he's an evil sociopath who murdered two people, that's plenty bad enough without satan bullshit.
That’s not what happened in the Scarface movie. She didn’t “drag” him to the dance floor. I get your point but don’t make ish up.
I’m so glad this is being televised.
Prosecutor laid out the bare common sense facts. Let them speak for themselves
He needs to man up and take 100% responsibility for what he did not half @$$. If he was truly in love with her he wouldn't have chose to put her family thru this. Instead he is blaming her when she isn't here to defend herself. He a 🤡
he wasn't in love with her and she wasn't with him either. she was only with him after Shawn Torres ditched him and she needed another guy to take her to the US.
Guilty of 1st Degree murder! You can’t just expect a reasonable person to murder someone if they see their spouse cheating, That is 100% not something a reasonable person would do!
They need to make an example on this guy! Jinn kid is not Immortal! He killed 2 people! And pay for your bad decisions!
How can she stand there and say he is not a murderer?! He literally murdered two people in cold blood! Although, upon hearing the rest of her closing arguments, I think she did very well with almost nothing to work with.
But the Defense want to go to Sharia law., where humiliation is cause to kill someone..
Ali committed a honor killing, that is murder.
He never once stated he did not kill them. He called 911 within 90 seconds - wanting to get paramedics rolling. He provided exact info. His childs mother is dead - he knows he has to turn himself in BUT he had to get child somewhere safe first. That is what he attempted to do. He notified his mom dad and a friend withi n minu tes.
I agree I thought her defense was actually well done considering how much of a scumbag coward he was revealed to be at trial, and the provocation key point was effectively presented
@@DASHDOT51You didn't pay attention. It took him 12 minutes to call 911.
I Love true crime and COURT TV!!!!!! we need some more full trials to watch in archive, I have seen them all !!! Thankyou
Defense is blaming victim? He is a controlling monster!!!
This is for Vinnie Politan... The female version of Jodi Arias!!
Great comment!
Very true
My immediate thought!
True! But this guy is so scary 😨
@@Juke582 so was Jodie Arias! 😂
Shame on you California , when will you do the same to Diddy ?
🤣🤪😂
Diddy didn't murder anyone.
George Zimmerman got off. Plenty of crooked cops got off.
As I said you never know what you are gonna get in California.
WTF--why shame on us?? Absurd non sequitur.
he will be found guilty that’s a given murder in the first.. sentence .. CONSECUTIVELY not CONCURRENT .. he pays for both
This prosecutor is amazing ! Praying for ray and Anna’s family!
I wish there was somewhere to watch the entire trial. I hate that they only showed us some parts and some of these videos start in the middle of someone talking.
Full length version of the trial is on different YT channels.
No it’s not anywhere on y t
@@mortalclown3812looked everywhere and couldn’t find it.
Did she just say “He is not a murderer”? 🥴
I was like 😮😂
I'm also Princess Diana
@@symbiotic3209😂😂
I can't understand why that apartment didn't have security locks from the inside.
Anna knew he had been in there the previous day too.
I can't believe she went back and put herself in such a vulnerable position.
So many precautions not addressed.
Heartbreaking
She didn’t have any money and probably wanted a comfortable spot to do her cocaine in, but the other guy should have paid for a hotel
Yes, her big mistake was bringing Ray into her apartment. Even tho, if they had divorced, this scumbag would not have left her alone.
@@peppercat8718true. I just wish she had a decent friend around to give her good advice. Protection. It's hard to find a real friend who looks out for you. Especially in California.
@@peppercat8718
No. That was not her “big mistake.” Her big mistake was not having a restraining order, security cameras outside and inside, a police alarm, heavy duty locks and bolts on the door or better still, having made a secret plan to leave him and moving as far away from him as she could go - Florida or NYC.
Anna was free to and had the right to bring whoever she wanted into her own home. This cowardly b’stard had no right to beat, torture and eventually to murder her.
@@enigma_-_79 a restraining order wouldn't have stopped him.
Defend lawyer is crazy
She just out here trying to do her job. She’s doing the best with what she got…
I can't wait, cant wait for his outbursts or reactions when the verdict comes in ... (the defense said he is not a murderer) i just skipped her foolish defense closing..
Good thing that you aren’t a juror! They are required to listen to everything before deliberating.
Yes me too. I bet the jury comes back pretty quick. Guilty of 1st degree no doubt!
@gingersmith2888 please a killer's sympathizer I see, this should be all done within 30 mins of deliberating but looks like after memorial day we will get the verdict.
@@gingersmith2888Pretty sure the jury must be tired of this guys crazy ass ramblings by now…can’t wait until he gets convicted and sentenced
Wow! I can’t believe that defense attorney really had the balls to say he’s not a murderer. That’s crazy! If I were on that jury I wouldn’t even be able to take the defense attorney’s seriously. I think he really thinks he has a good chance at getting away with murder because he’s so delusional and has been surrounded by yes men feeding his delusions.
Are you even paying attention to the case ? It’s not a question of “if he murdered them” it’s a technicality of “is it manslaughter or 1st degree “. Obviously he killed them….
@@KyuubiNemesis94 Yes I paid attention. You could lose your attitude. I pointed out that it is insane to make the statement he’s not a murderer because either way he murdered two people. Whether the defense sees it as manslaughter or first degree, he still purposely took two peoples lives. Which is murder. I’m sure it also stuck out to the jury that his defense said that.
