As soon as the sentencing came in and the jury found her 'not insane' or 'not mentally deranged' all of that smirking and smiling stopped. No laughs, no smiles, no faces. Funny how that works out.
She was "playing crazy" until it was obvious it wasnt going to help. In the long run with her, nothing matters. She knows shes screwed Initially she thought bagging up all the body parts would let her "get away" with the act. She took all the internal body parts out to lighten up what was left of the body. All of them. Im sure she has cooked her brain with meth, a lot of people have. That doesnt make you innocent. Im surprised she isnt shackled hands and feet both in court. She admired Dahmer, and wants to be famous.
My sister was on meth for a while. Something happened one night to her. She started hearing voices and thought she was being watched and followed. She would do things like take the batteries out of the smoke detectors because she thought people were listening to her through them. This was 5 years ago. She’s been clean now for about 4 years and is functioning in society now but still sometimes hears voices. And has like this static electricity feeling. She says she can make sparks with her hands and she can see it at night. Something happened to her that’s irreversible. But I’m proud of her for beating the addiction.
She could still continue to improve. It's so scary, meth induced psychosis is unbelievably common and nearly inevitable among long term users. Let her know you're proud. Even after years of sobriety, addiction can sneak back up on you.
@@craigfinnegan8534 those are the dumbest billboards I have ever seen! We call meth the soccer mom drug because it can be used and hidden. People actually do function on it...Thats why it's scary. Sure, it can run users into the ground but you show your lack of insight by assuming those posters are the norm. I was shocked to learn who used around me. SHOCKED! And trying to make her feel bad by scaring her is extremely naive.
I'm sorry. My sister also lost her mind on meth. I think it causes schizophrenia. I couldn't trust her around my son so I moved away and had no contact with her. Although she started to use when she was in her late teens, she lived to be almost 50 years old. But from what I learned she was never the same. I loved her, and all intervention we did failed. I hope your sis stays clean. She may need meds for schizophrenia, which is when people hear and see things that aren't there. 🌻
Seeing her Dad, well that raised some questions for me. His wife died in his bed; what was the cause? Was an autopsy done? This man who raised Taylor from the time she was eleven is currently locked up for sexual assault of a minor. The odds that he was abusive towards his daughter are enormous. She was committed to a mental institution twice, at around 13 and 15, and began using meth about this time. Taylor's serious mental defects have been notable for a long time.
She's absolutely putting on a show, it's intentional and with purpose. This chick is crazy, but not in the medication needed kind of crazy, this is just a highly disturbed individual with sadistic thoughts and motives! Great analysis, great video!
She could very well need medication. You can still be crazy, need medication but understand the difference between right and wrong which means you go to prison like everyone else.
She is crazy. I think everyone is afraid to say she’s mentally insane because they only rehabilitate mentally ill people and not prison them. This is what’s wrong with the legal system. Everyone has to deny reality just so she gets what she deserves. She is clearly mentally ill as she has always been since a kid. She’s also extremely dangerous and should never be in society near people. She belongs in prison and that will rehabilitate her for rest of her life.
@@ryanb8736this is such an american opinion 🤦🏻♀️ Severely mentally ill people who commit a crime do not belong in prisons, they NEED psychiatric help. In my nordic country (and in many other countries) they are put in psychiatric prisons, where they are getting the obvious help they need. It is VERY bizzarre how most americans genuinely want unmedicated mentally ill people (the ones who have committed a severe crime) in normal prisons where they will then hurt or kill again while getting zero help for their mental health 🤷🏻♀️
Did anyone notice how she had a slight smile/smirk after the officer asked if anyone was ‘armed’? She responded by saying, ‘nobody is armed.’ Probably because she literally dis- armed her victim and thought the officers choice of words was humorous (or humerus). This is the one time that being familiar with anatomy has come in handy!
She also was smirking when that witness said they were "choppin it up" ( which means shootin the sh!t while you're preparing to smoke weed/rolling a J). This broad is TWISTED!!!
Dr. G, please remind people that people suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are no more likely to commit violent crimes than the rest of the population. 😉👍💙🕊
@@drgexplains your welcome. My younger sister is a therapist, who works with both populations. The popular press at times makes people suffering from schizophrenia out to monsters. 😢
To Dr. G. She did not laugh because she was amused with anything. She thought it was hilarious when her friend on the stand used the phrase, " We were just chopping it up." That means just hanging out, but she was bursting out in laughter because she was on trial for chopping up her boyfriend and the dude on the stand used that phrase. She cracked up when he said chopping it up. I think most of her facial expressions are in relation to what is being said by prosecution about her. She is thinking he is ridiculous in what he is saying about her. It is like hey dude, you don't know anything about me. She is scoffing at prosecutions statements about her. That's all. Most of her expressions are not all that deep as Dr. G is making them out to be.
Exactly. She appears to find humor in understatements, utterances that people make at her, innocently, that have a double-entendre. See 'nobody is armed' is literally the case, her ex, has not head or arms, he is disarmed, and so she knows that and finds it comical that they don't know yet. Meh. This happens in the trial too.
I second your whole comment. To be as calculated and manipulative comes with being quick witted so she was smirking with any statement she made a jab back to in her own mind. I feel that part is missed. The feeling in a court room is very intimidating and she has had time to do nothing but think about everything shes ever done. Its intense to be in that defendant seat. The prosecutor usually truly exaggerates and dramatizes events to get their point across and to make it stick. Id love an analysis on a prosecutor doing an opening and closing statement once.
Her smiling and smirking during the trial reminds me of Lori Vallow Daybell. They both enjoy the attention which is so disturbing and chilling, And, considering the savage nature of this crime, I think her attorney put forth his best effort in representing her. He, along with the prosecutors were very professional which says a lot. Justice, finally for Shad.💙
That witness using such inappropriate slang really bothered me. Hanging out is what he should have said thus not making this disturbed homicidal maniac have a laughing fit. She’s a dangerous woman when on drugs, and I’m convinced she’s capable of being that way sober. She should be in a cell ALONE. Rip Shad, you did not deserve such a death. I hope his family will be ok. The trauma…I can’t imagine.
@@csmoothsk8ter17I think he did a great job testifying chopping it up is probably something he said to Shad many times. He could have been self soothing by using that word.
This is the best channel for behaviour analysis. Far and away. He steers clear of jargon. He is very clear about what facial feature to look at, and what movements to observe. And he will show the relevant minutes of video several times, so that we are able to properly see to what he is referring. This makes it far easier to follow what he thinking about and explaining. He always gets right to the subject. There's no 10 minute preamble of hokey jokiness, or blow hard-ary. It is also nice that he clearly distinguishes between faked, performative craziness and true strangeness. Additionally he is very pleasantly free from making too much of things such as...whether someone looks to the left or right when they are trying to remember something. There are some people who make SO much out of little things, or if a person scratches their nose. . As Freud probably never said: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes your nose is just itchy.
@@tredjesongen💯 They've become such a boys' club. Tbh, I've heard wise things from all four of them, but they are 'bendy' - quite inconsistent - when it comes to their methodology - if it exists apart from their imagination.. I'm not one who hollers about sexism at the drop of a hat: for starters, I'm an old chick and save that for the big fights. Yet they display it on many occasions. (The sole female guest 'expert' they had a couple of years ago was so grating, dammit, but their attitude about it was: Hey, we tried it already. Not least of their vexing behavior is flat out putting Phil McGraw on a pedestal. It's jarring. Perhaps it would be comical if so many folks didn't actually believe in their videos as if they contained scientific truths. Peace.
I adore you and I'm so grateful that I found you! i saw you on another podcast STS and I was so happy to see you there. I wish I had you in my life for the past 20 years when my physically abusive ex husband who was diagnosed with narcissism and sociopathic tendencies was destroying my life. He is still emotionally hurting me everyday. I learn SO much from you. You give me so much knowledge and the strength to get up everyday.
Hey there Dr. G! Really cool to meet you. The behavior panel directed me to your channel btw.... I must say, I love the way you show the body language, and explain it in detail in these brief clips. Its so much easier to learn that way Sir. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do in teaching us what to look for in the behavior and the body language. Enjoy your weekend.
I noticed her opening her sweater jacket on a couple occasions. Thanks to your videos, I noticed that. She also had the biggest reaction when her victim’s mother was testifying. I think Schabusiness is a sexual sadist, I think she intended for victim’s mother to look in the bucket.
She enjoyed the evil act. If she can’t stop herself from committing it. I think that makes her crazy. However it seems as the court and the general public disagrees. It’s more like you can only claim insanity if you can’t control yourself and don’t know what you’re doing.
My understanding is that she was also wearing a "stun belt" underneath her top, and that you can see her try to adjust it time to time. And yes, I think she also enjoyed the shock value and horror of his mother finding his head in the bucket.
@@layton101101 I draw the line at covering up and trying to get away with it. True crazies don't care about getting caught. True crazies don't try and manipulate and put on a show to reduce charges. She understands consequences. Insanity pleas should be reserved for those who don't understand their actions or consequences.
Yup, Dr G is totally right about the insanity defense and the whacking her attorney. It relates precisely to what had just happened in the court hearing. Taylor S. had wanted to go with an insanity defense. The court appointed psych evaluator had done their report and concluded "she's sane". TS wasn't happy. She wanted to have a second one done, hoping, we'd assume, that she'd learned enough from the first one to be able to make the second one go her way. The judge is making the decision about whether she'll get this second evaluation. So TS wants to do what she can to influence the judge to say "yes". She attacks her attorney. Rolls around with the deputies. Then...she sits up and says, "what happened? I don't remember anything!" Total performance. And all her gurning and face pulling during the trial..exactly like Leticia Stauch. Even if it doesn't work during THIS trial, both have their hopes set on future appeals. Thinking that people might look at the trial footage and see them looking nutty.
Her 'reaction' after she attacked her lawyer, when she pretends to be 'coming back to' after she 'blacked out' 🙄 , IMO, that comment she makes "What happen, I don't remember anything"? came across as so calculated and fake!! Again, imo,...she's a TERRIBLE actress , Hollywood won't be knocking on her prison door anytime soon. ✌
I think Taylor has shown way more disrespect from smirking to down right laughing at really horrific things they are talking about. Letcia and Taylor are definitely extremely dangerous women! I believe they both liked the thrill they got by killing their victims. And I’m damn sure both would have liked again and again until caught. I’m glad to know they are both going to be locked up for life without parole! It’s a good day for justice.
if you watch part 2 of this trial you will see the jury finds her Sane ! mmm she stops all the face gurning after that was read out .Total show like this video says performance .
This girl is highly disturbed and I’m sure the drugs made it beyond her control but I agree she’s not insane. She knew she shouldn’t have done what she did but didn’t give a damn. Lacked impulse control. Dr. G, how could the mental health professionals nit diagnosis her as antisocial or dark triad? Is it due to her use of substances? This is such a strange and horrific case
@Dr. G Explains Another excellent analysis borne out by the evidence. It's easy to explain why your video's are highly anticipated and you're fast becoming one of the most trusted channels on YT. Thank you for all your hard work. ❤
One thing nobody is considering is the power of belonging to a group or tribe, most importantly if there’s been abandonment in childhood. I think Shad is still part of her group (in her mind) and she’s probably laughing at the pompous bureaucracy surrounding her. There’s a tremendous us v them with a drug using cohort too. She’s still feeling the warmth of belonging to that group.
Yes. It's obvious this doctor has never been around these kinds of people. She's laughing about her burnout friend trying (unsuccessfully) to stumble his way through an official proceeding without making a fool of himself.
I appreciate your insight. No doubt she was part of a small group of outsider friends who did drugs together. This makes her crime even more horrible. She abused and killed one of her “tribe.”
I think she was completely performing the entire trial for her attorney, the judge, the prosecutor, jury, cameraman etc. I don't think she has any feelings of remorse. She just wanted everyone to think she was crazy.
To me it seemed her eyebrow flashes and touching her neck etc towards victim's mom and the friend AJ, were all to taunt them in order to amuse herself. She didn't touch her neck for any others what I could see. and his mom became audibly more uncomfortable and spoke slower the more she was touching her neck. she's just really horrible
People constantly use word evil, I've read about serial killers, all the ones I read about were either physically, emotionally, sexually, one or all 3, abused many times by their own parents. Her father is in prison because he's a pedophile, more than likely, her father had sex with her, abused and used her. Humans are not evil. As Khalil gibran said in his book the prophet, evil, is just good that was tortured.
While I agree much of her behavior is manipulative and/or related to substances; the fact she was diagnosed with bipolar, psychosis and other mental health issues at 14, long before her meth addiction; AND she’d had bizarre behaviors in schools since elementary school…there’s more going on here. Her non-compliance with psych meds AND her manipulations make it difficult to try and tie a single dx down. After hearing her father this morning, knowing why HE was just sentenced to 12yrs on Ch Mo charges…wondering if that could be at least contributing to her psychology-whether she was one of his victims, or just knew of his…predilections.
Exactly not sure why this guy is saying shes sane its literally clear as day shes suffering from psychosis and schizophrenia i mean cmon what sane person beheads someone and cuddles the headless body etc i strongly disagree with this guy what hes saying about her even the mental health specialist says shes one of the worst shes ever seen
To be diagnosed with bipolar you have to exhibit the symptoms WITHOUT the presence of drugs or alcohol as the psychosis can be caused by drugs so when you sober up the voice and hallucinations go away. When she was first diagnosed with bipolar in the psych hospital she still had drugs in her system. At a later date when she was held for a couple weeks her psychosis disappeared because the drugs were out of her system.
Psychosis does not always mean 'out of control' especially if we're talking about paranoid psychosis. My father has schizoaffective bipolar and my grandmother has been schizophrenic for years (since the birth of her children- as hormones OFTEN trigger mental health conditions or exacerbate exsisting conditions.) In my own post partum psychosis, i had horrible derealization. The main components of manic or schizophrenic episodes that i have seen in family my WHOLE LIFE are: hyper-religiosity, hyper-sexuality, and hyper-paranoid delusions. This case seems marked by HYPER SEXUALITY (the act leading to the murder and actions after the murder itself). Along with some adjustment disorders. She is clearly incapable of managing herself and her own life, even if she is able to mask or 'preform' for a period of time. Both my father and grandmother could go periods of time between psychosis or delusions. And they were both great, kind, amazing people when they were 'sane'! Maybe a reactive attatchment disorder. To lose so many people close to her.... Its sad. I do think she is absolutely enjoying the attention, but i dont think she is acting for the sake of seeming crazy or for the sake of garnering sympathy or attention. Body language analysis is fine, and probably pretty much the same for people without a plethora of mental health issues. But i dont think body language is as acurate with people who have mental disorders like this. The body and mind become so mixed up, they dont aleays follow this neat little playbook for analyzing body language.
I agree too. Definitley Hyper sexuality. I think...and i know this is kinda sensitive but, its like a serial killer, when they go beyond normal arousal and cant climax unless they inflict pain. Shed likely gotten to that point, And ended up killing him with the chain. She was also able to still be aroused when he was deceased and well, ill stop there. Its horrific but its very interesting
i was waiting for you to observe this!! missing you and always good to hear from you Docta G ❤️💕 i used to be on meth and heroin for a long time. i still struggle with relapses (it’s more rare for me these days) as it’s part of the lifelong battle. it is absolutely very possible to completely lose your mind, sense of self, the sexual and evil thoughts that come through. you are literally possessed by this drug. HOWEVER she was always bad, and the meth psychosis went on for way too long the meth just fueled who she was at her core and there was no turning back. i’m still getting my brain cells back from that horrible drug.
@@debbie4503 thank you so much for saying this. i just recently have tried to quit drinking and actually take it seriously this time. to my surprise, drinking is actually one of the hardest to cut. i had my first event out without having to drink tho and it’s been a week as well without a drink! 😭 i hope i can make it last.
@@twofacedgemini I want to encourage you in your sobriety. I admire your fortitude in quitting drugs, which I know is hard. I also appreciate your insight into meth addiction. May you be well every day!
One thing I’ve noticed in most of these murder trials is that the defendants always try to show, even if it’s hyperbolic, anger when someone describes the description of the murder, the murderers hate being seen as a murder even though that’s exactly what they did, you can’t make a lighter image of a murder but they always seem to show anger because they rather you not see them as a villain when that’s exactly what their actions have done to them. You were spot on about the theatrics, most of these defendants that try to claim insanity follow the same trope every time, it’s open curtain for them, but the public isn’t buying the performance.
I thought she looked perpetually perplexed about 80%-85% of the time. I'm really appreciating your analysis here. That perplexed look is likely performative. She's so odd.
Ever since the first time I heard about this crime and saw Taylor's picture, the 2 first thoughts that pierced through my thoughts were,... 1) Calculated 2) Manipulative Always appreciate your videos/work, Dr G. and I also appreciate your help learning about the topics that you 'teach'/explain (or however you'd like to see it). All the best. ✌
I couldn’t wait for someone to do an analysis on her emotions because I’ve been wondering from a professional standpoint why she’s consistently switching between an “angry” and “amused” face. I found it interesting that her head is in a downward position until there’s a person of interest personally to her that she actually raised her head to look at and make more reactions such as her father
I was excited for this video the moment her trial started! It is terrible how people try to act for the insanity plea.. i do know why they do it, but it’s just a huge slap in the face to those of us who truly struggle with mental illness. Her case is absolutely shocking. She is sadistic. edit: i was excited for dr.G’s analysis….for anyone to think i meant that i was excited for what this lady did, you are just crazy. or i guess just confused. LOL
So on one hand she's just acting. But on the other hand she's sadistic. So which is it. I've never done drugs so can't really say. But I see all these homeless people on the streets like zombies. Even though I don't know what drug they're on. But it must be mind alternating. Sad to see. Her dad seems like a average man that loves his kids. He and she lost her mother and recently and brother to a motorcycle accident. Her father being in jail for I don't know why probably doesn't help. Obviously she completed school and holds a steady job. She's also a mother. Man oh man. This woman needs help big time. Locked in a cage isn't gonna help her. Personally I'd rather help her if i could. Such a sad story. Only to be on the big screen shortly.
She may have a mental illness, but mental illness is not a qualifier for the insanity plea. You have to not know right from wrong at the time of the crime.
@@derrickconnolly9164I think you’d be putting your life in her hands if you took her in. I respect your compassion but some people are just beyond help. What she did, then how she acts with calculated manipulations during her trial puts her in that beyond help zone. Her dad SA’ed a child under the age of 15
@@derrickconnolly9164 she’s not insane, but she is sadistic, that is which one it is.. Good luck helping and/or fixing someone who enjoys and gets pleasure from harming other humans. That’s exactly why they take advantage of their victims who are good hearted people . I’m not blaming the victim at all, i’m just saying it is important to be aware of your surroundings.. not everyone has the emotional set to be a good person to you back. she knew it was wrong, but still did it.
The jury has since refuted the claim that she is/was suffering from mental issues at the time of the crime....Back to jail.. no bond. She is set for sentencing in September...
I thought this case was just now going on 🤔. I had thought I might watch it but I couldn't even get through opening statements so I have only seen snippets of the proceedings. She's the most evil "looking" female defendant I have EVER seen. The very face of evil. The whole thing is bizarre. I'm glad you covered this. She's not really worth studying except for the hope that someone may benefit from it and a life, or lives saved because they learn to recognize red flag behavior and get the heck away from that person.
The jury found her guilty of murdering him, chopping up the body, and sexually assaulting a dead body. Now, the jury has to determine if she is insane or not.
You only think she looks evil because you know what she did. If someone told you she was a humanitarian that has helped save thousands of lives you would have thought she looked like an angel when you saw her pic. You need to be mindful of how preconceived notions manipulate your perceptions in everything.
I get through statements and every day because I know how important is that we understand this. Actually will probably never understand, but there might be some shred of prevention
It's obvious the psychologist has not worked at a mental institution for as many years as I did and seen these odd behaviors repeated time and time again. For many years I worked with schizophrenic dually diagnosed who have one foot inside of reality able to speak and ask for help to tend to their needs they get dressed they eat , interacting with people while simultaneously laughing and making facial expressions speaking under their breath. It's amazing to see. A great example is one morning a young man college-educated well- dressed and aware of my presence asking me to help him because the floor was on fire. How does that work he was aware of my presence of reality simultaneously believing the floor was on fire. This psychologist must not understand apparently he's never worked with these folks on a day-to-day basis
I tend to agree. I was going to subscribe but found I didn't agree with most of what he said. Taylor has formerly been on halodol and seroquel- both anti psychotic meds. Taylor's eyebrow raising seems more like a tic than "look at me", imo, and halodol is also prescribed for tics. I also think some, not all, of her odd, inappropriate facial expressions could be from her mental defects/thought patterns. I don't see her being manipulative, I see her more towards being deranged. Not criminally insane, as she knew right from wrong, but def has/had organic or drug induced psychosis.
Thank you!!!! I had to scroll down way too far to find this comment. As an RN who's worked in the psych ward, all of her mannerisms scream schizoaffective. I disagree with pretty much his entire analysis of her.
Thanks Dr. Always appreciate how you review the videos a couple of times. Much prefer over The Behavior panel, where you can’t remember what you’re supposed to be looking for once they’re all done talking.
Actually the reason she was laughing during AJ's testimony, (If you'd have been actually watching that segment), she wasn't laughing at the "things that she did" as you surmised. She was laughing at AJ and him describing them getting together earlier that night to hang out before she and Shad went to his house and the murder happened. She was laughing because he was very slow and was using terms like "we were chopping it up" (hanging out, chatting and talking) and generally stumbling around trying to understand and answer the State's questions. She appeared to be amused by AJ himself. Nothing was being said about the "things that she did" at that particular point in the testimony that she would be laughing about.
I think that is exactly right. She is amused by AJ himself and his stumbling about. She likes him and thinks he’s a bit of a cuddly bear especially when he openly describes his weaknesses. On another note, her looks of dismay at times , were not dismay at the acts themselves but because the people were not describing accurately what happened
Agree. I think she enjoys the word choices, she's making little personal jokes out of them. She almost laughs when the cop asks if anyone is "armed." She dismembered him. No--he's definitely unarmed, isn't he? She's laughing at AJ's choice of "chopping it up."
Thanks so much. Fascinating. You do such a great job of narrowing down the impressions and speculations that we all have to a consistent interpretation of an individual's behavior. I worked in prisons and forensic settings for many years and I honestly cant recall anyone like this. She is definitely an outlier...thank goodness. Great information! Thanks.
You’d think she’d quite being so bizarre once she had time to come off some of the meth but obviously the stuff she does is really more about her and not about the drugs. 😟
Great analysis Dr G. In some of her interrogation videos, she reminds me of John Lovitz' character on SNL who said, "Yeah yeah, that's the ticket" when she gave some her of answers.
Doc, excellent coverage! I struggled with this one especially after hearing of her hx substance use, involuntary commitments, and forced meds. There were times watching her i thought there was possible internal stimulation going on. However, you make it all make sense! Thanks Dr G!
It’s the slang that’s used and the witness just innocently or stupidly used it in a murder trial where someone’s body’s parts were actually chopped off. She’s laughing at the obvious irony of those words in this context because she’s a straight- up psychopath. She has no remorse nor respect for anyone.
I'm always fascinated by the lip-hiding thing - I picked up the habit while working for a British company, and it's such a common thing over there, used in a multitude everyday situations - and yet, to the rest of the world, it's a stress response
The lips show emotion. You hide lips because you don't want to show emotion that will betray you if you are guilty, or because it is a cultural thing. Brits and Asians both do that.
@@mjremy2605 and yet, I've seen Brits do it instead of a smile, or when being polite in an awkward situation, or when showing sympathy - altogether a conscious gesture. I'm not saying, of course, that it's not part of the general body language when hiding emotions, just wondering if it differs, or if it's something that a British body language analyst would perceive differently or as less striking than an American one, for example.
I’m British, I’m not sure what you mean by the lip hiding. Fascinating to hear this though. When I married a German I thought his quirky body language was his own till I came here and everyone else was doing it. Language is also body language too.
At what point was lip hiding mentioned? I must've missed that bit. I'm British and wondering if I do it and if it's what I'm thinking it is. ETA, just rewound and saw it. Yes it is something I have done and I've seen others do it but have never analysed when or why it was done. Interesting that it seems to be a common thing in British and Asian cultures, maybe we're too polite and trying to keep things bottled up
She showed amusement when her friend used the phrase “chopping things up” to mean interacting with each other. I think I saw a flash of awareness in his face for a split second as well. I think his phrase, which might be his personal vernacular, did amuse her under the circumstances. She does flash her brows, probably because she is not allowed to speak, and she is communicating some awareness, I think. During her intent forward stare, I think she was looking at the judge. I completely agree that she is performing. During the reading of the verdict, I think she looked as if she was in pain, as in physical pain, and that likely was not performance. I appreciate your analysis of all of this. Personally, I think she is a psychopath.
I think the reason she was amused by the officers asking about being “armed” when she sat in the stairwell was her using as a pun and saying no one was “armed.” Same for AJ saying “chopping it up.” She finds it a hilarious pun.
That witness who was talking about how they were "chopping it up, like we always do", and even mentioning it twice...jeez, I'm almost fine with her getting the giggles over than one. The witness was a good friend of his actually chopped up friend. He can't be all there.
Dr. G. Excellent work, as usual......I watch every single video you publish on RUclips. It's interesting to me that you blame a lot of her behavior on her use of substances....but could it not be psychosis? To me, it appears that she is responding to internal stimuli. It's fascinating how she seems to communicate with her eyes and forehead only, and not her mouth. She seems highly disconnected with reality, by use of her hand gestures. These could also be "gang signs" as her husband Warren and her father, Arturo Coronado have spent time in jail. Highly Antisocial, highly Narcissistic. So glad you picked Taylor to analyze. Thank you! :)
That's a good question. The quality of her behavior, to me, looks different that much of the psychosis I have worked with. If she is psychotic, it seems likely it would be secondary to substance use.
Damn doc, you made me feel a bit guilty right from the start. I happened to take my daily dose of Adderall before watching, and as you probably know, AMPH & METH have structural and pharmacokinetic similarities. Oh yes, the joys of neurodivergence, got to get my dopamine from somewhere. Well now that my moods up, time to dissect this broken toy. I'm looking forward to hearing your perspective, as always. Your breakdowns are always smooth, accurate and concise as I see it. It's a lovely contrast from Spidey and the behavior panel. You three of the tops in my book. Cheers from Toronto. 🧠
Mr. Phd., You are completely missing why she was laughing. You said she is laughing because she is amused by the things she did. But that's not it at all. It went right over your head. She was laughing because of the choice of words her friend used. He said they were all hanging out, "chopping it up", which is slang for hanging out and chatting. Given the circumstances,his choice of words was pretty ironic. That is why she was laughing. It made me laugh too.
It was really fascinating listening to your video. I'm looking forward to the next one. The scary thing is that she's one of MANY monsters in our society, your coworker, neighbor, teacher or spouse could be a monster and you'll probably never know.
As soon as the sentencing came in and the jury found her 'not insane' or 'not mentally deranged' all of that smirking and smiling stopped. No laughs, no smiles, no faces. Funny how that works out.
She was "playing crazy" until it was obvious it wasnt going to help.
In the long run with her, nothing matters. She knows shes screwed
Initially she thought bagging up all the body parts would let her "get away" with the act.
She took all the internal body parts out to lighten up what was left of the body.
All of them. Im sure she has cooked her brain with meth, a lot of people have.
That doesnt make you innocent. Im surprised she isnt shackled hands and feet both in court. She admired Dahmer, and wants to be famous.
I noticed that too. all serious business then
RIGHT???
What do you all think mental illness should look like? I've seen it in every form, and there are many.
I actually commented on a video right after they said she wasn’t crazy…u could see her snap outta it once the realization set in
My sister was on meth for a while. Something happened one night to her. She started hearing voices and thought she was being watched and followed. She would do things like take the batteries out of the smoke detectors because she thought people were listening to her through them. This was 5 years ago. She’s been clean now for about 4 years and is functioning in society now but still sometimes hears voices. And has like this static electricity feeling. She says she can make sparks with her hands and she can see it at night. Something happened to her that’s irreversible. But I’m proud of her for beating the addiction.
Your support & empathy is surely helping her along with her recovery. You are a good sister & she is very lucky to have you! 💜
@@MuscularMayhem that is a really nice comment. Yes, support from somebody makes a great difference in someone's recovery.
She could still continue to improve. It's so scary, meth induced psychosis is unbelievably common and nearly inevitable among long term users. Let her know you're proud. Even after years of sobriety, addiction can sneak back up on you.
@@craigfinnegan8534 those are the dumbest billboards I have ever seen! We call meth the soccer mom drug because it can be used and hidden. People actually do function on it...Thats why it's scary. Sure, it can run users into the ground but you show your lack of insight by assuming those posters are the norm. I was shocked to learn who used around me. SHOCKED! And trying to make her feel bad by scaring her is extremely naive.
I'm sorry. My sister also lost her mind on meth. I think it causes schizophrenia. I couldn't trust her around my son so I moved away and had no contact with her. Although she started to use when she was in her late teens, she lived to be almost 50 years old. But from what I learned she was never the same. I loved her, and all intervention we did failed. I hope your sis stays clean. She may need meds for schizophrenia, which is when people hear and see things that aren't there. 🌻
Seeing her Dad, well that raised some questions for me. His wife died in his bed; what was the cause? Was an autopsy done? This man who raised Taylor from the time she was eleven is currently locked up for sexual assault of a minor. The odds that he was abusive towards his daughter are enormous. She was committed to a mental institution twice, at around 13 and 15, and began using meth about this time. Taylor's serious mental defects have been notable for a long time.
How did you get this information? Not saying you're wrong just I've been following the case closely and haven't heard about these things
@@trevorjones4854her dad testified on her behalf. His criminal record is online
The wife died from cirrhosis, she was an alcoholic.
She overdosed ultimately dying in her sleep.
@@trevorjones4854 He testified to most of this in court. His criminal info. was written on the screen while he testified.
She thought the "Is anybody armed" was humourous because he had no arms and she recognized the unintended pun.
Wow maybe
At what time in the video does that happen?
@@brii6427 Since no one else answered, it’s at 4:36
She's absolutely putting on a show, it's intentional and with purpose. This chick is crazy, but not in the medication needed kind of crazy, this is just a highly disturbed individual with sadistic thoughts and motives! Great analysis, great video!
She could very well need medication. You can still be crazy, need medication but understand the difference between right and wrong which means you go to prison like everyone else.
She’s not crazy… she’s enjoying the hell out of every moment of this.
Your analysis in videos are spot on. Great channel content.
She is crazy. I think everyone is afraid to say she’s mentally insane because they only rehabilitate mentally ill people and not prison them. This is what’s wrong with the legal system. Everyone has to deny reality just so she gets what she deserves.
She is clearly mentally ill as she has always been since a kid. She’s also extremely dangerous and should never be in society near people. She belongs in prison and that will rehabilitate her for rest of her life.
She looks very very evil like the girl from the exorcist movie no cap
@@ryanb8736this is such an american opinion 🤦🏻♀️ Severely mentally ill people who commit a crime do not belong in prisons, they NEED psychiatric help. In my nordic country (and in many other countries) they are put in psychiatric prisons, where they are getting the obvious help they need. It is VERY bizzarre how most americans genuinely want unmedicated mentally ill people (the ones who have committed a severe crime) in normal prisons where they will then hurt or kill again while getting zero help for their mental health 🤷🏻♀️
Wouldn't that make her crazy
Did anyone notice how she had a slight smile/smirk after the officer asked if anyone was ‘armed’? She responded by saying, ‘nobody is armed.’ Probably because she literally dis- armed her victim and thought the officers choice of words was humorous (or humerus). This is the one time that being familiar with anatomy has come in handy!
I thought that too when I saw her smirk.
She also was smirking when that witness said they were "choppin it up" ( which means shootin the sh!t while you're preparing to smoke weed/rolling a J). This broad is TWISTED!!!
That's what I thought immediately. Like "Haha Someone isn't armed 😉."
Dr. G, please remind people that people suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are no more likely to commit violent crimes than the rest of the population. 😉👍💙🕊
I'm doing a follow up video today and I'll make sure to include that. Thanks!
@@drgexplains your welcome. My younger sister is a therapist, who works with both populations. The popular press at times makes people suffering from schizophrenia out to monsters. 😢
To Dr. G. She did not laugh because she was amused with anything. She thought it was hilarious when her friend on the stand used the phrase, " We were just chopping it up." That means just hanging out, but she was bursting out in laughter because she was on trial for chopping up her boyfriend and the dude on the stand used that phrase. She cracked up when he said chopping it up. I think most of her facial expressions are in relation to what is being said by prosecution about her. She is thinking he is ridiculous in what he is saying about her. It is like hey dude, you don't know anything about me. She is scoffing at prosecutions statements about her. That's all. Most of her expressions are not all that deep as Dr. G is making them out to be.
Exactly. She appears to find humor in understatements, utterances that people make at her, innocently, that have a double-entendre. See 'nobody is armed' is literally the case, her ex, has not head or arms, he is disarmed, and so she knows that and finds it comical that they don't know yet. Meh. This happens in the trial too.
Yep.
Very true. I agree. Good observations.
Agree completely, it's like yea since ya'll know me so well right 🙄😒🤣
I second your whole comment. To be as calculated and manipulative comes with being quick witted so she was smirking with any statement she made a jab back to in her own mind. I feel that part is missed. The feeling in a court room is very intimidating and she has had time to do nothing but think about everything shes ever done. Its intense to be in that defendant seat. The prosecutor usually truly exaggerates and dramatizes events to get their point across and to make it stick. Id love an analysis on a prosecutor doing an opening and closing statement once.
Her smiling and smirking during the trial reminds me of Lori Vallow Daybell. They both enjoy the attention which is so disturbing and chilling, And, considering the savage nature of this crime, I think her attorney put forth his best effort in representing her. He, along with the prosecutors were very professional which says a lot. Justice, finally for Shad.💙
Dxxxxxx
Also of Leticia Stauch
Thank you Dr.G. another great Video and watch. Will be anxiously awaiting the next video on this one❤
That witness using such inappropriate slang really bothered me. Hanging out is what he should have said thus not making this disturbed homicidal maniac have a laughing fit. She’s a dangerous woman when on drugs, and I’m convinced she’s capable of being that way sober. She should be in a cell ALONE. Rip Shad, you did not deserve such a death. I hope his family will be ok. The trauma…I can’t imagine.
In all fairness the witness seems not too bright.
That poor guy is a mess. I honestly think that’s just how he talks and it wasn’t intentional.
That witness is an idiot. He even doubled down and used the same phrase a second time.
@@csmoothsk8ter17I think he did a great job testifying chopping it up is probably something he said to Shad many times. He could have been self soothing by using that word.
@@csmoothsk8ter17 I was surprised he said that in this type of case. Maybe he has a sick sense of humor they joke about?
This is the best channel for behaviour analysis. Far and away.
He steers clear of jargon. He is very clear about what facial feature to look at, and what movements to observe. And he will show the relevant minutes of video several times, so that we are able to properly see to what he is referring.
This makes it far easier to follow what he thinking about and explaining.
He always gets right to the subject. There's no 10 minute preamble of hokey jokiness, or blow hard-ary.
It is also nice that he clearly distinguishes between faked, performative craziness and true strangeness.
Additionally he is very pleasantly free from making too much of things such as...whether someone looks to the left or right when they are trying to remember something. There are some people who make SO much out of little things, or if a person scratches their nose. .
As Freud probably never said: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And sometimes your nose is just itchy.
Agreed! Let us pray he dont get hijacked by that awful "behavior panel." Aka keeping his integrity.
@@tredjesongen I’m so glad you said that! I wholeheartedly agree !
@@tredjesongen💯
They've become such a boys' club. Tbh, I've heard wise things from all four of them, but they are 'bendy' - quite inconsistent - when it comes to their methodology - if it exists apart from their imagination..
I'm not one who hollers about sexism at the drop of a hat: for starters, I'm an old chick and save that for the big fights. Yet they display it on many occasions. (The sole female guest 'expert' they had a couple of years ago was so grating, dammit, but their attitude about it was: Hey, we tried it already.
Not least of their vexing behavior is flat out putting Phil McGraw on a pedestal. It's jarring. Perhaps it would be comical if so many folks didn't actually believe in their videos as if they contained scientific truths.
Peace.
@@mortalclown3812 🥰👆This.
Agree
I adore you and I'm so grateful that I found you! i saw you on another podcast STS and I was so happy to see you there. I wish I had you in my life for the past 20 years when my physically abusive ex husband who was diagnosed with narcissism and sociopathic tendencies was destroying my life. He is still emotionally hurting me everyday. I learn SO much from you. You give me so much knowledge and the strength to get up everyday.
Oh dear. HGTudor’s channel, about Narcissism may be VERY helpful to you. PLEASE take a look at it asap.
Hey there Dr. G!
Really cool to meet you.
The behavior panel directed me to your channel btw....
I must say, I love the way you show the body language, and explain it in detail in these brief clips.
Its so much easier to learn that way Sir.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you do in teaching us what to look for in the behavior and the body language.
Enjoy your weekend.
Thanks! It's great to have you here!
She looks regressed to me. She’s not even in the present. She’s not able to process any of this the way we are. She’s so f-ing dangerous.
have been waiting for this one! thank you, sir.
I noticed her opening her sweater jacket on a couple occasions. Thanks to your videos, I noticed that. She also had the biggest reaction when her victim’s mother was testifying. I think Schabusiness is a sexual sadist, I think she intended for victim’s mother to look in the bucket.
I agree.
She enjoyed the evil act. If she can’t stop herself from committing it. I think that makes her crazy. However it seems as the court and the general public disagrees. It’s more like you can only claim insanity if you can’t control yourself and don’t know what you’re doing.
She no doubt did. Cruel woman.
My understanding is that she was also wearing a "stun belt" underneath her top, and that you can see her try to adjust it time to time.
And yes, I think she also enjoyed the shock value and horror of his mother finding his head in the bucket.
@@layton101101 I draw the line at covering up and trying to get away with it. True crazies don't care about getting caught. True crazies don't try and manipulate and put on a show to reduce charges. She understands consequences. Insanity pleas should be reserved for those who don't understand their actions or consequences.
I am so glad you did this. Her expressions were driving me crazy!! Thank you!
I was waiting for this one! Hope you are doing well Dr. G! Amazing content as usual!
Love the clear, concise and understandable breakdown. Very interesting work Doc.
Yup, Dr G is totally right about the insanity defense and the whacking her attorney. It relates precisely to what had just happened in the court hearing.
Taylor S. had wanted to go with an insanity defense. The court appointed psych evaluator had done their report and concluded "she's sane". TS wasn't happy. She wanted to have a second one done, hoping, we'd assume, that she'd learned enough from the first one to be able to make the second one go her way.
The judge is making the decision about whether she'll get this second evaluation.
So TS wants to do what she can to influence the judge to say "yes".
She attacks her attorney. Rolls around with the deputies.
Then...she sits up and says, "what happened? I don't remember anything!"
Total performance.
And all her gurning and face pulling during the trial..exactly like Leticia Stauch. Even if it doesn't work during THIS trial, both have their hopes set on future appeals. Thinking that people might look at the trial footage and see them looking nutty.
Her 'reaction' after she attacked her lawyer, when she pretends to be 'coming back to' after she 'blacked out' 🙄 , IMO, that comment she makes "What happen, I don't remember anything"? came across as so calculated and fake!!
Again, imo,...she's a TERRIBLE actress , Hollywood won't be knocking on her prison door anytime soon.
✌
I think Taylor has shown way more disrespect from smirking to down right laughing at really horrific things they are talking about.
Letcia and Taylor are definitely extremely dangerous women! I believe they both liked the thrill they got by killing their victims. And I’m damn sure both would have liked again and again until caught. I’m glad to know they are both going to be locked up for life without parole! It’s a good day for justice.
She might be performing, but I still think she’s criminally insane.
if you watch part 2 of this trial you will see the jury finds her Sane ! mmm she stops all the face gurning after that was read out .Total show like this video says performance .
@@jayeharrison4533 Absolutely. Two conflicting things are often true at the same time. I wish more people understood that.
So happy you’re doing this one Dr G!
This girl is highly disturbed and I’m sure the drugs made it beyond her control but I agree she’s not insane. She knew she shouldn’t have done what she did but didn’t give a damn. Lacked impulse control. Dr. G, how could the mental health professionals nit diagnosis her as antisocial or dark triad? Is it due to her use of substances? This is such a strange and horrific case
Nah
YESSSS! I’ve been waiting for this from the first minute if the trial!
So glad you covered this can't wait to finish watching 😅
@Dr. G Explains Another excellent analysis borne out by the evidence. It's easy to explain why your video's are highly anticipated and you're fast becoming one of the most trusted channels on YT.
Thank you for all your hard work.
❤
Thank you so much 😁
One thing nobody is considering is the power of belonging to a group or tribe, most importantly if there’s been abandonment in childhood. I think Shad is still part of her group (in her mind) and she’s probably laughing at the pompous bureaucracy surrounding her. There’s a tremendous us v them with a drug using cohort too. She’s still feeling the warmth of belonging to that group.
Great observation. I think there is something to what you observe.
Yes. It's obvious this doctor has never been around these kinds of people. She's laughing about her burnout friend trying (unsuccessfully) to stumble his way through an official proceeding without making a fool of himself.
@@Gary_MHe did not succeed.
I appreciate your insight. No doubt she was part of a small group of outsider friends who did drugs together. This makes her crime even more horrible. She abused and killed one of her “tribe.”
I think she was completely performing the entire trial for her attorney, the judge, the prosecutor, jury, cameraman etc. I don't think she has any feelings of remorse. She just wanted everyone to think she was crazy.
She hasn’t shown any remorse and she hasn’t qualified the an is a toy please aka she knew right from wrong when she murdered him. Prison.
@@Mataylor17 Bahahahaha 😂
To me it seemed her eyebrow flashes and touching her neck etc towards victim's mom and the friend AJ, were all to taunt them in order to amuse herself. She didn't touch her neck for any others what I could see. and his mom became audibly more uncomfortable and spoke slower the more she was touching her neck. she's just really horrible
I watched this trial and was hoping that you would react! Her behavior is so strange and inappropriate. She seems to be a very dangerous, evil being
Almost demonic
People constantly use word evil, I've read about serial killers, all the ones I read about were either physically, emotionally, sexually, one or all 3, abused many times by their own parents. Her father is in prison because he's a pedophile, more than likely, her father had sex with her, abused and used her. Humans are not evil. As Khalil gibran said in his book the prophet, evil, is just good that was tortured.
Parents , create, these people, parents that should of never been parents.
Yes Dr G, appreciate the coverage! This is brutal
So pleased you covered this one.I love coming to your channel watch your fantastic content.
While I agree much of her behavior is manipulative and/or related to substances; the fact she was diagnosed with bipolar, psychosis and other mental health issues at 14, long before her meth addiction; AND she’d had bizarre behaviors in schools since elementary school…there’s more going on here. Her non-compliance with psych meds AND her manipulations make it difficult to try and tie a single dx down. After hearing her father this morning, knowing why HE was just sentenced to 12yrs on Ch Mo charges…wondering if that could be at least contributing to her psychology-whether she was one of his victims, or just knew of his…predilections.
Exactly not sure why this guy is saying shes sane its literally clear as day shes suffering from psychosis and schizophrenia i mean cmon what sane person beheads someone and cuddles the headless body etc i strongly disagree with this guy what hes saying about her even the mental health specialist says shes one of the worst shes ever seen
Clearly she knows where she is at and what is going on around her, CLEARLY she knows what's real and not real.
@@markyork1 That would point to competency, not sanity.
To be diagnosed with bipolar you have to exhibit the symptoms WITHOUT the presence of drugs or alcohol as the psychosis can be caused by drugs so when you sober up the voice and hallucinations go away. When she was first diagnosed with bipolar in the psych hospital she still had drugs in her system. At a later date when she was held for a couple weeks her psychosis disappeared because the drugs were out of her system.
She is a psychopath. @@marcust123 This is not insanity.
Psychosis does not always mean 'out of control' especially if we're talking about paranoid psychosis. My father has schizoaffective bipolar and my grandmother has been schizophrenic for years (since the birth of her children- as hormones OFTEN trigger mental health conditions or exacerbate exsisting conditions.)
In my own post partum psychosis, i had horrible derealization. The main components of manic or schizophrenic episodes that i have seen in family my WHOLE LIFE are: hyper-religiosity, hyper-sexuality, and hyper-paranoid delusions. This case seems marked by HYPER SEXUALITY (the act leading to the murder and actions after the murder itself).
Along with some adjustment disorders. She is clearly incapable of managing herself and her own life, even if she is able to mask or 'preform' for a period of time. Both my father and grandmother could go periods of time between psychosis or delusions. And they were both great, kind, amazing people when they were 'sane'!
Maybe a reactive attatchment disorder. To lose so many people close to her.... Its sad.
I do think she is absolutely enjoying the attention, but i dont think she is acting for the sake of seeming crazy or for the sake of garnering sympathy or attention.
Body language analysis is fine, and probably pretty much the same for people without a plethora of mental health issues. But i dont think body language is as acurate with people who have mental disorders like this. The body and mind become so mixed up, they dont aleays follow this neat little playbook for analyzing body language.
I'd have to agree!
Her brother died after she committed the crime. Her father was incarcerated after she was. Yes, she lost her mother but so have millions of others.
I've had psychosis too and never used drugs. I saw people faces turn menacing and was seeing/feeling people were after me.
I agree too. Definitley Hyper sexuality. I think...and i know this is kinda sensitive but, its like a serial killer, when they go beyond normal arousal and cant climax unless they inflict pain. Shed likely gotten to that point, And ended up killing him with the chain. She was also able to still be aroused when he was deceased and well, ill stop there. Its horrific but its very interesting
@@buschovski1 depraved, but very true
I'm glad you said she's looking at the camera...I wasn't absolutely sure. The way she responded to her dad walking by was very telling to me!!
Thank you Dr G that helped my understanding of her odd behavior.
i was waiting for you to observe this!! missing you and always good to hear from you Docta G ❤️💕
i used to be on meth and heroin for a long time. i still struggle with relapses (it’s more rare for me these days) as it’s part of the lifelong battle. it is absolutely very possible to completely lose your mind, sense of self, the sexual and evil thoughts that come through. you are literally possessed by this drug. HOWEVER she was always bad, and the meth psychosis went on for way too long the meth just fueled who she was at her core and there was no turning back. i’m still getting my brain cells back from that horrible drug.
I'm very proud of you. You got this! Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and take it 1 day at a time.
@@debbie4503 thank you so much for saying this. i just recently have tried to quit drinking and actually take it seriously this time. to my surprise, drinking is actually one of the hardest to cut. i had my first event out without having to drink tho and it’s been a week as well without a drink! 😭 i hope i can make it last.
@@twofacedgemini I want to encourage you in your sobriety. I admire your fortitude in quitting drugs, which I know is hard. I also appreciate your insight into meth addiction. May you be well every day!
Dr. G once again your awesome great coverage. Your breakdowns are marvelous to me 😊
Amazing insight Dr G. Thank you, so interesting
This was so helpful! Thank you so much!!
One thing I’ve noticed in most of these murder trials is that the defendants always try to show, even if it’s hyperbolic, anger when someone describes the description of the murder, the murderers hate being seen as a murder even though that’s exactly what they did, you can’t make a lighter image of a murder but they always seem to show anger because they rather you not see them as a villain when that’s exactly what their actions have done to them. You were spot on about the theatrics, most of these defendants that try to claim insanity follow the same trope every time, it’s open curtain for them, but the public isn’t buying the performance.
She isn’t remorseful- that should equal no parole.
I thought she looked perpetually perplexed about 80%-85% of the time. I'm really appreciating your analysis here. That perplexed look is likely performative. She's so odd.
Ever since the first time I heard about this crime and saw Taylor's picture, the 2 first thoughts that pierced through my thoughts were,...
1) Calculated
2) Manipulative
Always appreciate your videos/work, Dr G. and I also appreciate your help learning about the topics that you 'teach'/explain (or however you'd like to see it).
All the best. ✌
Thanks Dr G! I was waiting for your take on this one. Wow! A doozy!
This was incredibly informative. Thank You so much!
I am so excited you did this one! Thank you
I couldn’t wait for someone to do an analysis on her emotions because I’ve been wondering from a professional standpoint why she’s consistently switching between an “angry” and “amused” face. I found it interesting that her head is in a downward position until there’s a person of interest personally to her that she actually raised her head to look at and make more reactions such as her father
I have been waiting for this!!
I was excited for this video
the moment her trial started!
It is terrible how people try to act for the insanity plea.. i do know why they do it, but it’s just a huge slap in the face to those of us who truly struggle with mental illness.
Her case is absolutely shocking. She is sadistic.
edit: i was excited for dr.G’s analysis….for anyone to think i meant that i was excited for what this lady did, you are just crazy. or i guess just confused. LOL
So on one hand she's just acting. But on the other hand she's sadistic. So which is it. I've never done drugs so can't really say. But I see all these homeless people on the streets like zombies. Even though I don't know what drug they're on. But it must be mind alternating. Sad to see. Her dad seems like a average man that loves his kids. He and she lost her mother and recently and brother to a motorcycle accident. Her father being in jail for I don't know why probably doesn't help. Obviously she completed school and holds a steady job. She's also a mother. Man oh man. This woman needs help big time. Locked in a cage isn't gonna help her. Personally I'd rather help her if i could. Such a sad story. Only to be on the big screen shortly.
She may have a mental illness, but mental illness is not a qualifier for the insanity plea. You have to not know right from wrong at the time of the crime.
@@derrickconnolly9164I think you’d be putting your life in her hands if you took her in. I respect your compassion but some people are just beyond help. What she did, then how she acts with calculated manipulations during her trial puts her in that beyond help zone.

@@ladybugluvrr exactly
@@derrickconnolly9164 she’s not insane, but she is sadistic, that is which one it is..
Good luck helping and/or fixing someone who enjoys and gets pleasure from harming other humans. That’s exactly why they take advantage of their victims who are good hearted people . I’m not blaming the victim at all, i’m just saying it is important to be aware of your surroundings.. not everyone has the emotional set to be a good person to you back.
she knew it was wrong, but still did it.
Excellent job! This was super helpful in dissecting every little behavior and how to read them. Thank u so much!
What a poor choice of words when AJ said they were "just choppin it up."
Thanks Dr G !!! Enjoyed your expertise in this case 😎
The jury has since refuted the claim that she is/was suffering from mental issues at the time of the crime....Back to jail.. no bond. She is set for sentencing in September...
And with no remorse hopefully they will be prison with no parole.
Did anything happen yet in that case
Thank you for this analysis and for leaving much of the disturbing gruesome details out. She is baffling to me
Would be interesting to see how her friends and teachers would react to all this. Also would be interesting to know what she was like as a child .
I bet she was extremely cunning and manipulative as a child, played people against each other, created chaos, and then sat back and watched.
@@jogrant3851you're giving her way too much credit
Her mum died from alcoholism and her dad is a paedophile. I reckon she was breaking apart and thrn meth entered the scene for years and hell happened.
Hey Dr. G you’ve been very busy!! I love your analysis. Thank you!
I thought this case was just now going on 🤔. I had thought I might watch it but I couldn't even get through opening statements so I have only seen snippets of the proceedings. She's the most evil "looking" female defendant I have EVER seen. The very face of evil. The whole thing is bizarre. I'm glad you covered this. She's not really worth studying except for the hope that someone may benefit from it and a life, or lives saved because they learn to recognize red flag behavior and get the heck away from that person.
The jury found her guilty of murdering him, chopping up the body, and sexually assaulting a dead body. Now, the jury has to determine if she is insane or not.
You only think she looks evil because you know what she did. If someone told you she was a humanitarian that has helped save thousands of lives you would have thought she looked like an angel when you saw her pic. You need to be mindful of how preconceived notions manipulate your perceptions in everything.
@@daemonthorn5888 Point taken 👍
I get through statements and every day because I know how important is that we understand this. Actually will probably never understand, but there might be some shred of prevention
Days before. Give me a break
Awesome video Dr. G
Jesus set me free from my meth addiction 🙌🏻
Love from West Virginia💜Thank Dr. G
It's obvious the psychologist has not worked at a mental institution for as many years as I did and seen these odd behaviors repeated time and time again. For many years I worked with schizophrenic dually diagnosed who have one foot inside of reality able to speak and ask for help to tend to their needs they get dressed they eat , interacting with people while simultaneously laughing and making facial expressions speaking under their breath. It's amazing to see. A great example is one morning a young man college-educated well- dressed and aware of my presence asking me to help him because the floor was on fire. How does that work he was aware of my presence of reality simultaneously believing the floor was on fire. This psychologist must not understand apparently he's never worked with these folks on a day-to-day basis
I tend to agree. I was going to subscribe but found I didn't agree with most of what he said. Taylor has formerly been on halodol and seroquel- both anti psychotic meds. Taylor's eyebrow raising seems more like a tic than "look at me", imo, and halodol is also prescribed for tics. I also think some, not all, of her odd, inappropriate facial expressions could be from her mental defects/thought patterns. I don't see her being manipulative, I see her more towards being deranged. Not criminally insane, as she knew right from wrong, but def has/had organic or drug induced psychosis.
This guy is a wannabe
Thank you!!!! I had to scroll down way too far to find this comment. As an RN who's worked in the psych ward, all of her mannerisms scream schizoaffective. I disagree with pretty much his entire analysis of her.
Thank you Dr G 🇦🇺
She's very calculating and I know everyone is super aware of this now, but I think she definitely has narcissistic traits.
She’s nuts imo
i would say every killer is narcissistic - there is zero empathy for the victim, they're taking someone's life bc of their own selfish desires
Traits? Bonkers
She’s a full blown clinical psychopath, so yes, she definitely displays narcissistic traits.
I think it’s beyond narcissism. I think this is a socio/psychopath type traits. Identity changing. Her past trauma.
Thanks Dr. Always appreciate how you review the videos a couple of times. Much prefer over The Behavior panel, where you can’t remember what you’re supposed to be looking for once they’re all done talking.
Actually the reason she was laughing during AJ's testimony, (If you'd have been actually watching that segment), she wasn't laughing at the "things that she did" as you surmised. She was laughing at AJ and him describing them getting together earlier that night to hang out before she and Shad went to his house and the murder happened. She was laughing because he was very slow and was using terms like "we were chopping it up" (hanging out, chatting and talking) and generally stumbling around trying to understand and answer the State's questions. She appeared to be amused by AJ himself. Nothing was being said about the "things that she did" at that particular point in the testimony that she would be laughing about.
Exactly. I actually laughed too at the choice of words.
My thoughts exactly.
I think that is exactly right. She is amused by AJ himself and his stumbling about. She likes him and thinks he’s a bit of a cuddly bear especially when he openly describes his weaknesses. On another note, her looks of dismay at times , were not dismay at the acts themselves but because the people were not describing accurately what happened
Agree with you 100%
Agree. I think she enjoys the word choices, she's making little personal jokes out of them. She almost laughs when the cop asks if anyone is "armed." She dismembered him. No--he's definitely unarmed, isn't he? She's laughing at AJ's choice of "chopping it up."
Thank you Dr. G. Your content and explanation are informative and educational.
Thanks so much. Fascinating. You do such a great job of narrowing down the impressions and speculations that we all have to a consistent interpretation of an individual's behavior. I worked in prisons and forensic settings for many years and I honestly cant recall anyone like this. She is definitely an outlier...thank goodness. Great information! Thanks.
Excellent analysis once again.
I’m so thankful for you to point all this out . I was thinking she’d have to be crazy to do these horrible acts .
Shes not skinny,her teeth are fine hair ,everything, skin,she looks physically heavily so whats all this BS ABOUT ,years and years of meth use???????
Been waiting on this one! Great upload as always, doc!
Thanks Dr. G. I have been waiting for analysis on Taylor!
You’d think she’d quite being so bizarre once she had time to come off some of the meth but obviously the stuff she does is really more about her and not about the drugs. 😟
Looking forward to the next one!
Great analysis Dr G. In some of her interrogation videos, she reminds me of John Lovitz' character on SNL who said, "Yeah yeah, that's the ticket" when she gave some her of answers.
For a meth addict, her personal hygiene is good. She's clean, in fresh clothes, wearing matching colors and makeup.
My theory: she isn't so much reacting about her environment, she rather has some inner conversation with her demons. Highly insane!
I love this channel..
Thx Dr G...Always insightful, when you analysis someone.Cheers !!
Doc, excellent coverage! I struggled with this one especially after hearing of her hx substance use, involuntary commitments, and forced meds. There were times watching her i thought there was possible internal stimulation going on. However, you make it all make sense! Thanks Dr G!
I felt like the guy saying "we were just chopping it up" is a very poor choice of words given the circumstances...
She's not crazy, she's just evil. She's revelling in all of this. She absolutely LOVES the attention
Thanks, Dr. G. I learned from your explanations.
Laughing while looking at her lawyer...she was probably imagining him headless.
Oooooooo Dr GGGG!!!! I was SO waiting for u to do this! Thank u!!!!! She acts so strange so I needed to hear ur take on this!
She was laughing because the guy on the stand said they were chopping it up like they always do. She took it as a joke of chopping the body
I regarded his dark humour the same way as TS.
It’s the slang that’s used and the witness just innocently or stupidly used it in a murder trial where someone’s body’s parts were actually chopped off. She’s laughing at the obvious irony of those words in this context because she’s a straight- up psychopath. She has no remorse nor respect for anyone.
Thank You Dr. G
7:11 she was probably laughing because her friend used the term "chopping it up", which is what she literally did to the victim.
Love your videos! Love how you get right to it
I'm always fascinated by the lip-hiding thing - I picked up the habit while working for a British company, and it's such a common thing over there, used in a multitude everyday situations - and yet, to the rest of the world, it's a stress response
The lips show emotion. You hide lips because you don't want to show emotion that will betray you if you are guilty, or because it is a cultural thing. Brits and Asians both do that.
@@mjremy2605 and yet, I've seen Brits do it instead of a smile, or when being polite in an awkward situation, or when showing sympathy - altogether a conscious gesture. I'm not saying, of course, that it's not part of the general body language when hiding emotions, just wondering if it differs, or if it's something that a British body language analyst would perceive differently or as less striking than an American one, for example.
I’m British, I’m not sure what you mean by the lip hiding. Fascinating to hear this though. When I married a German I thought his quirky body language was his own till I came here and everyone else was doing it. Language is also body language too.
At what point was lip hiding mentioned? I must've missed that bit. I'm British and wondering if I do it and if it's what I'm thinking it is.
ETA, just rewound and saw it. Yes it is something I have done and I've seen others do it but have never analysed when or why it was done. Interesting that it seems to be a common thing in British and Asian cultures, maybe we're too polite and trying to keep things bottled up
Interesting.. I’m also British and have no idea what is lip hiding?
She showed amusement when her friend used the phrase “chopping things up” to mean interacting with each other. I think I saw a flash of awareness in his face for a split second as well. I think his phrase, which might be his personal vernacular, did amuse her under the circumstances. She does flash her brows, probably because she is not allowed to speak, and she is communicating some awareness, I think. During her intent forward stare, I think she was looking at the judge. I completely agree that she is performing. During the reading of the verdict, I think she looked as if she was in pain, as in physical pain, and that likely was not performance. I appreciate your analysis of all of this. Personally, I think she is a psychopath.
I think the reason she was amused by the officers asking about being “armed” when she sat in the stairwell was her using as a pun and saying no one was “armed.” Same for AJ saying “chopping it up.” She finds it a hilarious pun.
I learned a lot. I never could connect the dots you mentioned without explaining it, wow!
That witness who was talking about how they were "chopping it up, like we always do", and even mentioning it twice...jeez, I'm almost fine with her getting the giggles over than one. The witness was a good friend of his actually chopped up friend. He can't be all there.
I really like the way you analyze this. Thank you!
Dr. G. Excellent work, as usual......I watch every single video you publish on RUclips. It's interesting to me that you blame a lot of her behavior on her use of substances....but could it not be psychosis? To me, it appears that she is responding to internal stimuli. It's fascinating how she seems to communicate with her eyes and forehead only, and not her mouth. She seems highly disconnected with reality, by use of her hand gestures. These could also be "gang signs" as her husband Warren and her father, Arturo Coronado have spent time in jail. Highly Antisocial, highly Narcissistic. So glad you picked Taylor to analyze. Thank you! :)
That's a good question. The quality of her behavior, to me, looks different that much of the psychosis I have worked with. If she is psychotic, it seems likely it would be secondary to substance use.
Prison will wipe that smirk off her face.
Damn doc, you made me feel a bit guilty right from the start. I happened to take my daily dose of Adderall before watching, and as you probably know, AMPH & METH have structural and pharmacokinetic similarities. Oh yes, the joys of neurodivergence, got to get my dopamine from somewhere.
Well now that my moods up, time to dissect this broken toy. I'm looking forward to hearing your perspective, as always. Your breakdowns are always smooth, accurate and concise as I see it. It's a lovely contrast from Spidey and the behavior panel. You three of the tops in my book. Cheers from Toronto. 🧠
No need to feel guilty. Methamphetamines have neurotoxic effects which make them different to other substances that may have similarities.
@@drgexplains Well said. I was just messing around.
Thanks for posting on this one!
Mr. Phd., You are completely missing why she was laughing. You said she is laughing because she is amused by the things she did. But that's not it at all. It went right over your head. She was laughing because of the choice of words her friend used. He said they were all hanging out, "chopping it up", which is slang for hanging out and chatting. Given the circumstances,his choice of words was pretty ironic. That is why she was laughing. It made me laugh too.
You literally hit the nail on the head. Great explanation
It was really fascinating listening to your video. I'm looking forward to the next one.
The scary thing is that she's one of MANY monsters in our society, your coworker, neighbor, teacher or spouse could be a monster and you'll probably never know.
