It saddens me a young man has to testify in a murder trial. God bless this boy for what he has gone through
He did excellent. Very brave. His mom would be proud
It happens all the time. What saddens me is the crime itself and all the countless victims
From 🇨🇦. Why is this defence lawyer Smiling ??? Poor jugement!!
Her vocal fry & cheerleader-type personality r endearing & so very appropriate , don’t u think? “Give me a D….E….A….T…..H!! Give me R…..O……W! “. Her cutie hairstyle & mannerisms r truly charming.
Why is she talking to Joseph like he's a baby? He's literally 14 not 8
So cringe...
I would have objected.
That's how they are treated today...
He also is still a minor in court...
Seriously, WTF is with that!?! So out of touch- and disrespectful to the young man.
@@bigbluegreatdane5954 IKR? The prosecutor knows darn well he lost his childhood that day. And, is testifying as the brave young man that he truly is. Her tone with him is disrespectful & demeaning.
Joseph I really pray for you buddy!! May you remember your mom fondly and don’t let him win by striving in life, with a heart full of love and peace ❤ you’re a good kid, don’t let anger creep in 🙏
Well said!poor kid💔
I agree. I’m sure u make your mom proud
Sick of women exposing their children to violent men. Their desire for a relationship doesn't supercede a child's right to a safe environment.
Ewww re think your opinion
She tried to leave. He would threaten her and her family every time. Until you’re in a similar position, you would never understand. Sadly victim blaming is frowned upon. Find a new hobby.
That’s what you are sick of? I’m sick of comments like yours
I agree. When you are a mom , your boyfriends need to stop.
@@kalliamanoussaki876 not a good argument. 😂
He abused Ashly for years before he killed her,they met on Instagram 4years on/off.eventually a man that abuses u,can&will kill u&putting your family at risk&your children!LADIES,PLEASE LEAVE HIM BEFORE THIS HAPPENS TO U!!1🚩RED FLAG,JUST GET OUT OF RELATIONSHIP!!
She did not meet him on Instagram
he is sooo young. why do they expose him to the world in this fragile age? you should rethink the law. he can testify without the presence of all the people.
I agree,protect the child!or video tape it/or do a video call
I think it is a traversty that young people go through this awful ordeal. You are right in that it can affect their fragility and make everything that theyve experienced be all dredged up again.
@@deborahhenderson149 yes, indeed. you are right.
I can't believe they did not protect this child's identity. WTF is wrong with these prosecutors??? I understand that they want witnesses to put this monster away. but they have duty to think about this child's well being.
Volume is no good. Pity.
A very clear and concise open for the prosecution. Great job!
Joseph is such a brave young man! His mom would be very proud of him. Probably much better than I would have been able to do in his position.
When I was 9 years old I woke in the middle of the night, to step dad on top of my mom, punching her beautiful face over and over again and choking her. He didn't see me and so I bolted out of the house, unlocked the doors and banged on my neighbors doors until one lady opened up and I told her mom was being beaten and killed, and she called 911. Soon after, the NYPD and my family arrived and rescued my mom and baby sister who was in the bedroom with them. My last memory of that house was watching my unrecognizable mom, bloodied and beaten very badly, being taken out into the ambulance. THANK GOD mom divorced him after that. I believe I saved my mom's life that horrible summer night, and I am so thankful I didn't let the FEAR petrify me into submission. Today, my mom is doing okay and we JUST celebrated her 78th birthday!!! Sadly, my little sister was murdered by a stalker in 2002 and that is another tragedy in my life. Also domestic violence related. Rest in Paradise to all the beautiful victims who have died at the hands of these very sick people. God has always watched out for me and I thank HIM for every good thing.
Absolutely!!
@desiderata I’m so sorry you went through that. I grew up in a home with domestic violence and the scars left behind, although unseen, are certainly there. God bless you ma’am. ❤
As for Chad...i hope the welcoming committee in prison gives him a proper welcome. I surely do.
He’ll be right at home; he’d been before
The sister is holding up well on the witness stand. Looks like she may have been crying bc her eyes are a little swollen underneath but she is maintaining her composure way better than I would have seeing the nut that tried to kill me and did kill my sister., what an awful ordeal for the sisters and children. I hope justice prevails and a peace envelopes this sister, nephew who endured.God bless them.
Beautifully Said! ❤️
There is something wrong with this man. Not a good liar. And what’s up with him asking what night? On what occasion? You are being asked about that night she was murdered!!!!! What a POS.
He’s the strong, silent type. Can’t u tell? Lol. Mouth full of marbles.
No witnesses to Ashley’s death? She’s really gonna use that as her defense. Lisa is alive, and can tell the jury what happened.
Well i can't understand her at all she nibbles, so thanks for letting me know what she said:)
First I would put children's testimony first no matter what, so they do NOT have to endure it on waiting. No matter if there are other witness's that are there. And I might add it's also sad that children have to do this at all. This is something they should NEVER EVER EVER HAVE TO DO.
The sound is horrible why don’t they do a sound check before they begin. And a terrible camera view. Not seeing the witnesses in full
not sure what you watching on but sound fine on PC
@@Kat-nd1ln watching on iPad and here the sound is hollow
Watching on iPhone. Sound is hollow
This I a trial not a tv show. Sound and video does not take priority.
It's so heart wrenching that a child has to experience what he did and is ..... helps loss. Parents and family if parents do not are supposed to protect children from shit like this! How does it get to this. I want to understand but right now I can't 😕 😔 poor child. I hope he grows up with peace and the ability to enjoy life and all it has for him 🙏❤️ I hope he is safe loved and healing and can put this behind him the best he can given the events he has witnessed and endured.
Woman need to leave these abusive monsters before they end up dead . 🔐
Why bother recording the trial if your not going to record the whole thing.
Exactly!!! WTF??
It
All that smiling the defense attorney was doing is not a good look. Someone died... have some respect. She reminded me of a 6th graded giving her first speech on a book report
Yeah she didn't seem like she's had much experience at this. Probably shouldn't be taking a murder trial out for a spin if that's the case.
I love you fizz. I'm praying for you Lisa. You are strong and we stand with you. I pray for justice FINALLY. I love you so much xo Jess
No child should ever have to see their mother and Aunt like that. That will never ever leave him
Oh my god. I can’t even with that prosecutor’s nauseating inappropriately sing-songy voice while interviewing the victim’s son. It is disrespectful to both the ninth-grader and all the rest of us. Calling that child and then making him get up and identify the perpetrator is disgusting
Glad I’m not the only one! Could barely get thru her opening. This did me in! Can’t watch a whole trial of her.
I feel for Joseph being there when his Mother was killed and Aunt was shot and now having to testify in front of the murderer….makes me so sad. I’m surprised that because of his age (14), they didn’t require the cameras to not show his face because he’s still a minor. 🤷🏽♀️
BTW….I understand he’s a child, but to listen to the prosecutor speak to him in that manor, is irritating. I mean the way people speak to children and the inflection in their voice goes up at the end, as if that is somehow comforting, I suppose….but she is literally doing it at the end of each sentence. 🤦🏾♀️
They should have done a video call,he didn't need to be there!protect the child
I totally agree with u
I hope Joseph has a good life, I wish the very best for him. He is such a sweet, bright, and adorable kid.
Does anyone know why it took 5 years to get to the trial? Just curious ✌️❤️🌎
Me too… seems like a open and shut case. No excuse for murder and attempted murder!
My mama heart hurts for her son.
It's sad to see this young man testify and his mother and his aunt's shooting. It's very difficult to understand what everybody's saying do to the tremendous amount of noise being picked up by various microphones.
Did I miss the beginning of the trial. I mean usually the first responders are the first to testify. Anyway my heart goes out to the young man Joseph. He did really good testifying. I’m so you lost your mother in such a horrific way!! Condolences to you and your family!
I know was wondering the same thing. I haven't ever seen that the Defendant is first to testify.
@@bobbieharper Joseph ( the victim’s son) isn’t the defendant. The defendant is Chad Absher, the one who is sitting at the defendant’s table and the one who is accused of committing the crime. Joseph, the first person to testify, is a witness….arguably one of THE witnesses.
@Mary Jacobs
I agree with you that the first responders are ONE of the first to testify, but usually the first is the 911 dispatcher in a lot of the criminal trials I’ve watched.
I think they wanted to get the minor child testifying first to get that over for him. It was done for his benefit
@@Ms2unique4u Thank you for clarifying. I think it was so sad that he had to recall that horrific night!
OMG These Idiots Just Showed A Photo Of The Dead Victim - - Who The Heck Is Operating The Camera In This Court ! ? Way To Disrespect The Victim
One time when I was young my mom had a man babysit us who was a drug user , I didn’t know my mom left and when I went to go downstairs he had a needle sticking out of his arm and he was bent over I called 911 and police came and arrested him apparently there were warrants for him because he robbed a bank . For years I was scared when he got out he would kill me because I called the police 😢 I’m now 51 not scared anymore but as a child it can be so traumatic.
I don't see any reason to put this young boy on the stand. He didn't see anything. The only thing gained is sympathy. The state should have weighed how damaging this could be on him. This is poor judgment on the states side.
Agreed. Re-traumatizing this child is completely unnecessary. At a minimum, this should be a recorded deposition. And to make him stand up to identify the person who killed his mom? Soooo cringey
@@bigbluegreatdane5954 but he can't even do that. He didn't see anyone when he came out. The only thing he could do was identify him as the defendant and confirm he heard them fight. Neither one of those where an issue in the case. He said they fought over the keys and admitted he shot them. It was to pull on hear strings. A good DA would not need to do that. Absolutely disgusting
Fix the volume!!! You can barely understand everybody except the judge!
Glad I am not the only one having trouble with the sound
This!
Yes its quite difficult to hear an no CC.
I thought it was my hearing I can hear it but can't actually make out what they are actually saying...
@@annebosworth7048 a lot here thinking the same I can hear it but don’t understand it.
I know captions do not work on live and I plugged in my speaker for better volume however, that did not work. 😜 BUT this trial seems worth the watch. Thanks channel!
What a brave and intelligent little boy. He’s so young. My heart goes out to him. 💔
My 18 month old is watching 'if you're happy and you know it'....this volume stands no chance against that 😭🙄
Lol 😂
Wait till they are 6 or 7 and know how to do volume control the people in the courtroom could be speaking from an amplifier and it still wouldn’t stand a chance. Kiddos and elderly people are the same when it comes to their ear drums they need everything super loud! 😅 captions are our best friend in order to understand what’s going on 😂
@@lyricsoftheart I have an 11 year old too, I know aaaaallllll about that 😭😂😂. Apparently the application of a headset instantly amplifies ones voice by 900,000 decibels as well 🙄. Kids, gotta love em 😂
Lol
It is terrible when a child has to testify in front of the person that would normally tell him what to do. In my case I would have been terrified of my father and would be scared he could get me. I know that it won't happen, but in a kids mind it must be so confusing. There should be a screen around the child so he does not see his Dad. Just like the Ronnie O'Neil case, that was awful for the child, answering his father's questions directly!!
Thank God my 'dad' took a plea deal moments before I was to take the stand. The mixed emotions I felt about betraying him but telling my truth made me physically ill. Thankfully the therapy I received leading up to trial taught me I was the child that was suppose to be protected not the child that was suppose to protect my parent. My heart goes out to any child in this situation 😢
@@girlunderestimated4632 The Truth, friend.
@@pwlyons759 ❤️ 💙 💜
@@girlunderestimated4632 I'm really sorry for whatever your dad did but thankful you are alive & well (you sound insightful & not angry & bitte). :) It made me angry & sad that my dad didn't get the help he needed to be a better dad.
OMG THAT BROKE MY HEART💔!
Where is the rest of the testimony of lisa??? Wtf
Sound is bad. Any where else to watch this trial? I don't see the full trial on court tv.
Who was holding Thier jaw while Dr was explaining how it went in&details of reconstruction 8hr surgery?!!🙋I held my jaw the whole time!that poor girl!!
I'm very proud of that oung man. Bless his heart, he had to remember what happened to his mom. For him to hear the two people fighting and then see his his mom on the floor dead. I hope when the court case is over he will remember the good times he and his sister and mom had together.
With so many witnesses how does this even go to court as not guilty?
Is the defense attorney sleeping her client? There interaction was very strange! Extremely eery 😡😡😡😡
What in the hell is this defence attorney smiling about when discussing the murder? Her opening is the worst I’ve ever seen, even chandler Halderson’s two lame attorneys did better than this. Why are these children’s faces being shown?!?
I Absolutely agree! This is the WORST 5-minute defense counsel’s opening argument I’ve ever heard. And, I watch trials daily. Hopefully, her poor performance will motivate the young woman to take the legal profession & required skills much more seriously. This performance will either ‘Break Her or Make Her.’ God willing, it does the latter. Amen
@@NOLALessNOW I’m guessing it won’t help her career. If I were a juror the smiling would have put me right off both her and the murdering defendant.
I said the exact same thing!!! Both attorneys were horrible. For the victim and the victims family they should’ve done a heck of a lot better ! Guess this trial certainly won’t get them any clients! They need more schooling. I could’ve done better just from watching trials all day everyday. Sad shame !
The sound is terrible..
My first time hearing the state and defense calling the judge ma’am. So strange to not be saying your honor or judge.
The sound is horrible!
The sound is low it’s so hard to hear what there saying the questions and answers
I thought minors weren’t supposed to be shown. Also the dead bodies
I thought the exact same thing. So sad
Defense attorney got up there and seemed to treat this whole thing like a joke. Yeah... How funny 🙄 It's so funny 🤬
what other high profile trial did this Judge preside over recently i have seen her before
Ronnie Hyde trial
That defence lawyer is talking to him like a baby. There was no need to show photos of his mother just cruel and unnecessary
Does anyone know where I can watch what happened "after the break"?
I was wondering the same thing. Also if there will be court today and if so what time.
Lol I was just wondering that...
I called the WTLV Jacksonville Station and left a message about their showing the picture of the victim. They better make haste to edit that out - - It's against the law to show pictures of deceased persons in the media. I plan to follow up until it's edited out.
And it bothers you so much that you have to repeatedly call them until you get what you what, for what reason?
I don't understand why you only show parts of trials. What good is that?
Very poor filmed trial for live tv. These lawyers on both sides are a JOKE! I watch trials all day everyday and this is the worst as far as streaming, lawyers their opening statements, their questioning. This should not have been filmed AT ALL if ur was going to be so poorly held. 👎🏽
Damn what a weak opening for the defense. Just awful!
This looks great but the sound is so bad❤❤💔that it's annoying not to hear everything. gett lapel mic for future💔💔💔
guess the cameraman day finished before court
😂😂😂
Must've headed for the bar. Camera work was....shakey.
Camera work & Audio both sadly lacking.
I would love to know what Chad muttered at 1:20:25 that made Lisa react like that.
This prosecutor is very skilled
I don’t like the way the lawyer is speaking to Joseph. He’s 14 years old. There’s no need to talk to him like he’s a little boy. It’s degrading. He’s a young man, who is well versed.
This camera person could do a better job. But thanks for posting.
That court officer seriously needs to have his pants hemmed. How sloppy to look in court
Wow he’s quite the big fighter - he has an undefeated record against his women! Big fighter
Way too much echo to even understand what anyone is saying. It's not the videographer's fault at all, rather it's the way the courtroom is structured. I suppose it's good for me not to be glued to the tragedies of other people's lives. This one seems like it was a very sad event. So sorry for the children, who always suffer the most.
Who cares about this defendant missing a tooth? He shot 2 people and one of them passed away! And that defense attorney smiling during the opening statement is just disrespectful. And what happened to the rest of Lisa's testimony?
I have never seen worse audiovisual coverage of a trial. The sound is not so hot, and apparently nobody noticed that perpendicular-sitting monitor neatly bisecting the boy's face during his entire testimony...does anybody ever look through a viewfinder...or at a monitor? That prosecutor's voice is irritating when she questions that young lady. Ahhh...I think I will leave.
Poor Joseph 😢
Prosecution please stop with and at the beginning of your sentence it's so annoying
I couldn’t hear well either so I pulled up RUclips on my tv and it’s perfectly fine. Hope that helps someone.
New camera angle needed
Why did it take five years?
Ok sorry but I can’t stand how this defense attorney acts. Her smiles and smirks are conveying that a murdered woman is no big deal.
Ok. This is mean but the defense attorney's mannerisms and avoidance of eye contact with the jury irks me. I'm sorry ma'am I'm sure you are very nice.
Man you tuff as heck for hitting a woman why didn't you hitt somebody your own size tuff guy
Is this bloody bird having a laugh……… he’s not guilty???
Why did Lisa's boyfriend go outside when the girls were still in the house rangleling with the killer
Please FIRE that camera man!!! The deceased and the minor child 100% ABSOLUTELY should not have been shown on television!! I was flabbergasted when they showed the victim and all the blood! 😮
Im gonna have to skip to the verdict. I’m sorry but this prosecutor makes ME want to commit a crime. Opening was so idk, theatrical? Talking to this 14 yr old like he’s 4. He’s a young man, been thru hell.
⭐️I could maybe gather 5 decades of footage of the “Golden State Killer“ so the intro on these pics should have been aggresively opposed. From what i know so far, im gonna aquit him. I jus hope theres a like minded individual who is not of the opinion that, in Pew die pie’s funny accent, “All waaman must be believed.“ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good LORD someone put WD40 on that gate 😩
Video stops at 2:15:12
