SHOCKING History of Apple River Nicolae Miu | Family Tells | He is Facing 97 Years in Prison
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 май 2024
- The trial of Nicolae Miu, the man accused of the fatal 2022 stabbing on the Apple River, began on April 1. Nicolae Miu, 54, is faced charges of first-degree intentional homicide for the death of 17-year-old Isaac Schuman and multiple counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide for his alleged role in the stabbings on July 30, 2022. The now-54-year-old man was a mechanical engineer from Prior Lake, Minnesota. He had been in jail since the stabbing. He claimed self-defense. After the altercation accured, Issac Schuman was sadly pronounced dead at Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater. The other four victims - Rhyley Mattison, 24 and three young men, ranging in ages from 20 to 22, - were taken to a different hospital, where they remain in stable condition. Nicolae was ultimately found guilty of lesser chargers and is now facing up to 97 years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for July 31st, 2024. Thank you to Nicolaes twin brother and his sister n law for sitting and speaking with us and answering the questions we had.

The way those teenagers acted was absolutely disgusting and their parents should be ashamed of themselves for raising such
I wouldn’t necessarily blame the parents, because people will be themselves despite their upbringing, yes, it does play a big part, but I still wouldn’t blame the parents. However, I do believe that the teenagers should be held accountable for their part. I hate watching the video of the incident, because they are absolutely ruthless & disgusting with their words & actions.
Totaly agree with that. The kids has NO respect for ANYTING! Lying, escalating the situation and provoking a man to do something that could destroy his life completley... sent him to prison for nothing. Poor😮😮 man. I pray, God keep him safe and let the truth come out. Please God, let the kids who did this gain accses to their hearts and guide them to the truth. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
I do blame the parents for their behavior afterwards though. They condemned Nikolai and didn’t make any public statements apologizing for their kids that I’m aware of.
And sorry, but well raised kids who were taught not to bully most likely wouldn’t be caught up in this in the first place.
Seriously. When did they stop charging parents for underage children ☹️
What you meN he stabbed people he should definitely go to prison you can't even say that's its self defense because he continued to stabbed people after the fact a lot of yall people have me concerned
Not ONE of those people on that river that day had ANY right to put their hands on that man. Period.
you clearly did NOT see the videos... HE ATTACKED THEM!!! these stupid teens were calling him names and he couldn't just walk away from the pathetic bullies as an ADULT!!
@@tufalike1796 he does not HAVE TO walk away it’s a public river he is allowed be in. He lost his belongings and was trying to find them. HE TRIED to walk to where his group was and they refused to let him do so as he has the RIGHT to do.
@@tufalike1796 are you serious??? They put their hands on him… MULTIPLE times before the incident happened.
@@jennagray3218
lol, ok sweety... whatever.
@@jennagray3218 💯I agree
This verdict just again proves how horrible our court system is in this country
Yep
He was the aggressor 🤡
Are you kidding me. did you even hear the prosecution's argument ? sounds to me you dont know whats going on .
@@james8448 seems to me that ur the odd one out an most don't agree with you, wonder why 🤔
@@sophieloves7092 seems to me 12 jurors all found him guilty i wonder why
This man deserves a new trial due to a negligent defence team.
The judge shouldn't be allowed to say he can't have a character witness, and the defence should have at least called in an expert on PTSD to explain about his trauma from Romania, which is why he might of reacted this way.
This was self defence, but manslaughter at the most.
That poor man was terrorized, both verbally and physically, and those kids get away with no charges whatsoever! They are just as culpable, if not more!
He doesnt deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison for being scared to death and defending himself 😔
The defense was actually decent. He was originally overcharged and the last-minute, reduced charges that were introduced prior to deliberations weren't divulged to the defense, so the case they had proven didn't take into account the lesser charges. The prosecutor intended to railroad him based on an emotional argument and was successful.
I do agree I don't believe life without parole, but he needs punished.
It wasn't a negligent defense team when it defended Kyle Rittenhouse
He had a very competent defense team. The facts were against him. Maybe they will bring up his PTSD as a mitigating factor for his sentencing.
The kids did not kill anyone - & they r not responsible 4 the fact of his early personal life!! ... he should have walked away .... why did he not walk away when they were constantly asking him 2!! ...
The audacity of the kids and parents playing victims after all of that violent and verbal provocation is so disgusting
Unfortunately, there were many victims on the river that day. Everyone behaved incorrectly. Someone’s child died. This man’s freedom taken away. So sad
Everybody keeps forgetting he as the adult has the obligation to leave as much as we want our way and we were here first crap if you are the grownup you fkn leave when dumbshits run their mouths!! I feel bad for the giy but he made his bed he did it!!!! He could have left soooo many times!! Kids were stabbed a child is dead and why cuz mean words were said?!!! The fk?
He knew he was armed, he had the ability to get away multiple multiple multiple times, you can't gut stab unarmed people.
A sad situation all around. Hopefully these teenager drunken punks will think twice. Hope they release this guy from jail
I did 7 years. This is pure mob mentality. Those kids we NOT going to stop heckling that man. At a certain point its survival of the fittest. Those kids had the chance to stop, and they kept making it worse while Nikoli disassociated bc of his past. This whole situation is just bad, bad, bad. A lot to unpack. Prayers for Nikolis family.
I don’t believe that he should have EVER gone to prison.
If they are going to prosecute Nick, then every last single teenage boy and woman who engaged in that outrage, should be charged!
100% agree!
YES
Nick wasn't the aggressor. He responded to the aggression ...
I agree!!!! When I saw that last video Christina posted I was BOILING PISSED!!!!! 🤬😤
I wonder what would have happened to Nick if he never had a knife on him. Those bullies were getting more aggressive by the minute laying hands on him, pushing his head back in the water. Mob mentality and no way were they letting him go, he was in fear for his life and quite rightly so.
I watched the whole trial and that video was 💯 proof to me that he was defending himself and had every right to do so!
I have no faith in our justice system anymore. This is so tragic in every way.
People who agree with the jury’s decision seem to believe that Nick was criminal in touching someone… Which is crazy… The mob behaved criminally and the jury dealt him a massive injustice. The Judge did not behave honorably, either.
He was the aggressor 🤦♂
KH-rt3ef People who agree with the verdict agree with the FACTS 🤡
You need to watch the trial and research the facts. Nick is 100% responsible and the jury got it right!
@eriv4735 no he wasn't. The boys were laughing when they pushed him in the water. They weren't trying to defend anybody
Our justice system has absolutely failed this poor man. A man that sought the American dream. Of life, liberty and justice. And we acted no better than where he escaped from.
There is no justice anywhere you go. Our entire government has failed our country and continues to get worse, not better.
Totally agree!!
We have the best justice system in the world
I don't think he got a fair trial at all either. However: He would probably have been executed without a trial where he came from, because that's how insane, ruthless authoritarian despots rule - regardless of which far side of the political spectrum they place themselves. And believe me when I say that Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife rank up there with the worst of them.
@@supriseimblackthat doesnt mean anything
That man was betrayed by the country that was supposed to help him. This is absolutely heartbreaking. I feel so much sympathy for him.
Right??? Same 🤦🏻♀️ this is so sad.
The country was suppose to help him what does that even mean. He slaughtered an American citizen and injured others.
I can’t believe people like George Zimmerman get a free pass for “defending” themselves and this guy is convicted. I feel so bad for him. The recording showing how he was mobbed was so scary. I would have been scared, too especially after having had cardiac surgery.
Th3 jury got Zimmerman verdict wrong. This jury got it right. MIU approached them and wouldn’t leave just because he is from Romania means nothing. I’m from Italy never killed anyone
I am still listening but seems like this man was living the "American dream". At least what it seems to mean to me as a Dutchie; that you can build a good life regardless of where you started off. This story is so sad.
This makes me even more upset about the outcome. Those kids acted like a bunch of animals. If he got charged, they ALL should have been charged.
That poor man 😢 those kids deserve to be in jail for what they caused
As an immigrant myself, I've always been saying this." America is a free country until it is not"
you almost got it right , " freedom until you can't afford it".
As an American I agree
Your comment is absolutely true.
@@kaybly529 The horrible and 💯% honest to God truth.
It's not a tenant of freedom to gut stab unarmed people.
That's crazy, 97 years? He didn't go there to kill them, he didn't even harrass them. Those young people did it is on video.
It's called self entitles j's.
had a knife in his pocket, rushed the kids, waved at his friends while reaching down and opening his knife, not warn them that he had a knife, then stabbing the kids within 10 seconds...........guilty
@@Helg3721not sure if you're aware, many people carry pocket knives IN THEIR POCKETS, they are a tool. I'm a mom and have one in my purse, I use it almost everyday too. Haven't had to use it to protect my children or myself yet but I wouldn't hesitate if it was my kids or my life against theirs.
@@Helg3721you’re hilarious. A knife doesn’t mean he’s guilty. No one would have died if they hadn’t surrounded him. They should have minded their business and went on.
@@Helg3721You are part of the problem! I can't call you what I really want to because I don't want to be banned from making comments! I hope you or your family gets put in a situation like this, and let's see what you would do!!!!
Hi Christina, I'm from the UK who watched regarding this case from over here. First of all I want to say, thank you for talking to Nic's family & thanks to them also for reaching out to you. It's a shame Nic's family didn't get the chance to talk, because hearing a lot from what his brother has said makes sense. I personally didn't agree with the outcome. I also hope Nic is doing ok as he can under the circumstances.
I hope he is crying himself to sleep
This was a straight forward self defense case. This was not murder. I have said that from the beginning and this interview just solidifies my belief that he was defending himself against nearly 20 people. Now knowing his history it makes total sense why he reacted the way he did. I really wish they included this information in the trial.
I've struggled with my thoughts on this case. This just did it for me, seeing he has no violent history and a past like he does... I get it more. He was afraid for his life.
I listened to the instigator of this event when he testified. He called a stranger a pedo, ramped up the accusations, involved another group of strangers, and then retreated to stand back and revel in the chaos he had created. He then filmed himself pretending to be shocked instead of trying to offer assistance. That is who should be on trial. Classic sociopath yelling fire in a theater.
Also, that girl in the blue bathing suit. She also instigated it and not Nicolae . Poor guy.
@sultanciarra11 This... girl wtf you doing getting in the face of a strange grown man?? Sit on the bank & call the cops if you seriously think there's a problem! Stupid & reckless & at least 2 of them deserve harassment & aggravated assault charges regardless of Nick's role in this
AGREED
Yeah I found that part super weird that the kid filming and the other kid standing away from their dying mate and not with him trying to help. It was like he was trying to put a dramatic finale to his film which was more important to him... ???
VERY true. That behavior was more than disturbing.
As a trauma therapist, this is such an unfair trial.
Thank you for caring for those of us who have endured trauma in our childhoods. ❤
Agreed!!!!
You can't hide behind long past trauma. Sick of hearing it.
@@organicnature2679maybe you haven’t experienced it then. Bc I felt that way until it wrecked my whole world after I lost my daughter, my husband & almost my own life all in the same timeframe. Im a shell of the bubbly happy go lucky go getter I was before. I’ve been in therapy for 5 years & reading information daily just to try to figure out how to find a way back to myself. The only place I ever feel comfortable now is alone in my bedroom. In my previous life I had a successful career in finance, I was a skydiver, triathlete, volunteer, & always on the go & surrounded by people. Now I am a depressed isolated person still just trying to make it through each day. I was tough as nails before. Now I cant handle high stress situations without freezing up & becoming overwhelmed & exhausted bc my body is stuck in fight/flight mode. Im just saying, be careful who you judge regardless of your feelings on this story ❤
@@organicnature2679o shut up , you have no idea how trauma works
He was mobbed by the crowd of teenagers and scared for his life omg!! How can the teens not be charged you can see in the video!
Nope, Nick ran at the teens, hit their tubes and legs FIRST, HE started it! Watch the video of Nick in the police car after he exited the river, HE LIED, LIED, LIED, then when he found out there was video of EVERYTHING, he SUDDENLY changed his story. GUILTY
I appreciate you allowing the family to speak on this. It sheds light on so many questions and truly shows even more that this was all handled wrong and continues to be handled incorrect. He deserves a true trial. Those bully young adults, no not children, they were fully grown and knew the bull*hit they were doing to that poor man; they should be on trial for the causing of this horrible incident.
Those brats deserve jail time. And by the way they behave, they will end up in jail sooner than later.
Well one is dead and the other were gutted so...
@@rack391and deserved
Jail time for mean words. You might like Romania!
@@brucewaynebanner482 For what? At most Defamation. You do not get to Murder and Gut people for calling you names.
@@djholliday5132 they pushed the man to the limits, by literally pushing him, yelling, surrounding him. The man killed and went to jail, by that justice was served. But the provoquers, the ones that caused the whole mess are treated like they were just sitting there chanting kumbaya.
No accountability for those teenagers who started the whole incident. Have we not yet learned what happens to people when they are never held accountable for their actions or behavior?
Exactly! That's exactly what they are. Normal and good people don't act like that.
Especially that little twat Madison! She was using her privilege to get all up in his face. Now she’s a “victim” because she was hit by this “so” “called” “dangerous” “man”
BIG Madison’s loud mouth behind needs to be in prison not Nic!
Well said!
plz i know these type of ppl make the younger generation look bad but i promise not all of us r like this lol . this is very insane behavior
You are one of a kind Christina! Thank you for bringing Nic’s past into the light!
It’s not at all relevant..he was the aggressor either way 🤷♂
Another example of how putting innocent people behind bars is more important than the people its here for.
Ahh, this makes me so sad. Those teenagers destroyed so many lives and probably now feel justified due to the guilty verdict.
I 100% agree with you...I heard another Podcaster say...if they are lucky enough to live to be in their late 50's they will be consumed with guilt, some will..some of them have no soul.
@@rhondapotter128agreed. If they have a conscience they will realize that they were the reason this happened. They started it.
Exactly! They continued to be smug liars on the stand , they have learned nothing
No, those teens at most committed Defamation and that is only if he could prove some kind of loss from it. The 52 year old man chose to turn at most Defamation into Murder and Multiple Assaults and him dying in jail.
Nick destroyed his own life. He's the one that killed a teenager.
I live in WI and I'm so angry. Those kids caused their own demise and this man, who really was defending himself, now will spend his final years in prison because of entitled drunken little brats.
Idt it would've changed the verdict but instead of saying he was "standing his ground" I wish Nik had said he wa afraid for his life and there was no way to retreat. It's clear from the video - he was surrounded
They are not kids.
@@dsoule4902 Surrounded only after he ran over to them.
He does not even believe he was defending himself that is why he had no problem walking away after gutting them murdering one, that is why he lied to the police it is called consciousness of guilt and in self defense you have to show the Jury you "believed" your life was in danger
"Rack" Apparently you did not watch read transcripts or attend the trial. Post Disregarded.
@@dsoule4902 Apparently you did not watch the video. But are you trying to say the Jury did not watch the trial because the Jury agreed with me.
I’ve been following a lot of court cases for 20yrs+ now, this is one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in this country. Mr Miu should of gotten 5-10yrs and those teens that physically assaulted him should’ve received 2-5yrs.
This is terribly unfair. I recently watched the Dominique Davis case. He got 15 years for killing a man, and the police even had a recording of how after firing one shot, the victim falls to the ground, Dominique approaches and executes him by shooting two shots in the head. So this person gets 15 years, and Nicolei Miu is supposed to get over 90?!
The justice system is now slanted against people of European heritage. You will not get a fair trial either in the courtroom or media if your a wypepo
His history in Romania explains not only his reaction on the river, it also shows why he lied to the police. This is so sad. I live in MN and I’ve been to Apple River, so I’ve been very interested in this case. Great interview!
Yep ... anger issues unfortunately. You don't see violence young and remain unscathed.
@@theeggtimertictic1136 scared and outnumbered issues. I never saw him look angry. 🤔
His history in Romania doesn't give him a pass to murder.
@@Jacklyn-zc8dc yeah he’s psychotic. He just went straight to fucking killing people.
@@Morticia1313that’s like saying anyone in fear has no right to protect themselves. So sheltered. People should also be held accountable for their bad behavior here
This is a miscarriage of justice. If I was put in the same situation , it would so difficult for me not to react the same Nicolae did. A huge gang of young people against one older man is not a fair fight. Bullying should be a crime.
Them kids didn’t go to where was and start stabbing him
@@crystaldills577no they just surrounded a lone person, pushed him into the water and punched him. He didn't go there looking for a fight
lol it is .. what a joke right
The jury got it right. Justice. Mui was completely guilty. I am not sorry for him .
@@crystaldills577no they just pushed him down into the water and put their hands around his neck. No one was in the right here. This is a very sad case for everyone involved…including Nic….
I am literally in tears. And how nice of you to refrain from speaking of exactly how all this started. If I had a podcast my it would one of my main goals that the reason that everything started would brought to the right peoples attention and be made to be heald responsible. A person's life is literally destroyed. A person who came thru and survived SO MUCH trial and tribulation in his life. Just to be taken down by "the culture". It's just disgusting.
Christina, so far this is the only person I’ve considered writing in prison. Breaks my heart how his American dream has turned into a nightmare. Praying for him, that it’s overturned on appeal. 😢
I just said that! I’m gonna write him and send him a card. We need to support him. 😢
@@lalathadon2540 I just looked up DA on fb and a lady had a post up about her father bring sent away by the same DA... Also alot of people have been emailing him with no reply! He don't care 💔💔
He caused his own misery 🤦♂
Same. I feel horrible for him.
Please do so! As a incarcerated person previously mail makes such an enormous difference. Call the jail to find out their mail rules :) thanks for being a kind soul.
The teens and their parents should be charged with assault and Nick should be let go.
Nope!!
U realize assault is just a ticket not jail time right?
💪💯🫶
I'd say they should be charged with manslaughter. They caused the stabbing, really. They attacked and provoked a stranger, surrounded him, pushed him down in the river, and expected he wouldn't defend himself?! THEY caused this.
Actually, since Nicolae got charged with MURDER, that's what they should get, too. They are old enough to know not to treat people like this, not to act like this. Make THEM take some accountability, here. They did this. Because had they NOT started this with Nic, had they not treated him that way, he wouldn't have defended himself. Nobody would have gotten hurt if they hadn't done what they did.
I TOTALLY AGREE
I’m so disgusted he’s getting all this when this little punks don’t get anything for what they did to him.😡😡😡
Well that's not true, one of them got the death penalty and 2 other were eviscerated . This was tragedy all the way around. This man should not have gotten life. Involuntary manslaughter at best
They will..but their parents first
Ya I know I'm pissed
@@trialjunkie agreed
@trialjunkie they received what they received due to their OWN ENTITLED CHOICES!!!!!
As a romanian myself, and a big follower of you Christina, thank you so much for letting his family’s voice be heard. Another great video! Mulțumesc! 🇷🇴
❤🙏🙏
I just accidentally watched her. She’s a bit grown up from three years ago but still acts like a baby. Hand on chin baby talking. This poor family, brother and his children.
@@eig101101 hmm, who acts like a baby? 🤔
@@eig101101Huh??? 🤔
When it was announced the jury’s decision I cried. I cried for a man I don’t know. I was heartbroken for him. There is no doubt in my heart that what he did was in self defense. Those kids are responsible for what happened and a man that exercised his right to self defense is paying for what they did. I am so sorry for the suffering of Nick and his loved one. My heart goes out to them.
I was too😢
I watched the trial from start to finish
Me too
He could've walked away!
What can we do to help this man get out of prison? Those kids need to be charged with harassment or something.
I believe we can only write to the DA and the govenor since a ruling has already been made. But I believe enough attention will cause a double take
Send him some commissary money.
Does anybody have this information?
they assaulted him nothing less
@@thatdarlinhe's a killer what are yall people talking about and this is some people don't work in criminal justice because of their biasm
I still do not think this man should have been convicted of a crime. It infuriating to me that he was assaulted and abused by these rotten disrespectful kids.
dude he literally left them and then went back to harass them even more like ur hearing a sob story about a 52 year olds childhood like that had to do with anything that happened. he deserves everything he’s gunna get
@@madi-ck8vpthe story may explain why he interacted with the police the way he did. Which seems like was a factor in the decision of guilt. Which was odd. But, it wasn’t a determining factor for me. I mean, OJ was found not guilty after getting in a high speed chase to avoid being detained. (I know, OJ is not a good example)
@@madi-ck8vpnot correct. I’ve seen the video of what happened at the river. He never said a word to them, just that he was looking for his googles. They followed and cornered him…he also didn’t start a physical altercation, but was pushed into the water. No man, those punks are as guilty as it gets. Not saying that kid deserved to die, however, under those circumstances that man doesn’t deserve to go to prison.
@@suze6083 ur a joke. he’s guilty and u can not determine what truly happened over a 3 min video. ik exactly what happened and the one who deserves justice got it. period
@@suze6083 He did not just say he ' was looking for his goggles". He stood in the river and fondled his knife several times and then charged directly to the boy's raft, put his snorkel in his mouth and lunged onto the raft and then began flipping their tubes over. Why do you people just skip over that entire part???
I’m so glad you were able to do this interview! This really did clarify a lot, I think especially the background info about their lives in Romania and why he might’ve lied to the police being as traumatized as he was!! And you’re right there are no winners, it’s all a tragedy no matter which way you spin it and I think it’s disgusting that none of the kids are being held accountable for their role in all of this. Battery charges for the supposed hit? Where’s the battery charges for them knocking him into the water and holding him down? Anyway thank you again for doing this interview, been waiting for Monday morning to watch it without a house full of kids lol!!
Looks like most people agree it was self defense. Need to Appeal. And give him in meds . This case is infuriating! Those demonic kids need to get some simple assault charges and underage drinking tickets. Imagine what they will do to the next person .
Justice wasn't served, he was provoked, teased, threatened
And now the punks win and this poor guys life will end in a shit American prison. It’s horrible 😞
don't forget assaulted. he was punched slapped fell into a body of running water, not long after a heart surgery
@@djohny-ne3gg You heard his brother, he was helping his neighbors almost right after surgery and this rafting trip was over a year afterwards.
All of those things aren't valid reasons to kill and to try to kill people.
The problem is he approached them, walked away and came back. That throws self defense right out the window
I thought bullying was something that our world is taking seriously now? So heartbreaking.
He made a very bad decision that day, but bullying leads to bad decisions. Look at all the lives taken so young by suicide because they feel there is no way out. It was a bad situation all the way around and God Bless him thru what comes next. Can’t we all just be kind and get along??
I’m so horrified that he seemed to have no idea what was even going on! They were taping their abuse of him bc those 13 bullies thought it was funny… until it wasn’t! He had to defend himself!
@@kristentrep5038 Exactly. They thought they get get away with trying to drown him. These kids come from a self entitled background. I don't feel sorry for the parents one bit.
That’s exactly what they was doing I would of been scared to walk away to because your scared if you move it’s going to cause more bullying. This case was so unjustified. Them kids should be in in jail for a lot of different stuff
@@mommabearcrimelifehaleighc585 I wholeheartedly agree.
I will never forget the look on Nicks face when those teenagers surrounded him. He looked so confused and overwhelmed. This case has struck me to my core. It's just fucking sad all around 💔

This just breaks my heart. Thank you for giving a voice to Nicolae and his family. Please share updates as you see fit. ❤
Thank you to Nics family for sharing…it really did answer questions.
That jury basically said bad behavior and jumping to conclusions is perfectly acceptable.
I honestly don’t know what that jury was thinking… maybe they had kids just as spoiled as those brats or something
I think it's more like they said, bad behavior is no excuse for taking a life.
@@JennJamesSmith15exactly
The Jury decided literally teens can be children and expect not to be approached by a strange man who won't leave you alone and stabs 5 kids
It’s unacceptable, its horrible, these kids get away with so much, they should be held accountable all of them at that River! I dont care what anyone says but the video says it all, and im so glad that there was a video if not we would of all thought things different. Im just infuriated and sad because now he is in jail and the ones who did all the drama and are the cause of this are FREE! We need justice , REAL justice . Bullying people needs to be taken more serious and needs to have more severe consequences. How many cases do we see daily that kids are going around harrassing people and knocking elderly out, and so much more. It’s unacceptable JURY , and everyone SUCKED !
As a mom I’d be so ashamed if my children behaved they way those teens did. They taunted, bullied, and assaulted Nik.
Amen
I work in a school. Young people are mean ( no respect) to older people.
I think it will haunt all of them for life. Hopefully, they will make better choices in the future.
Maybe karma will catch up with these taunting, entitled spoiled brats. The judge and jury were biased as hell. They got it all wrong,it makes me sick. Appeal!
💯💯
To Nicholae and his brother, I prayed as hard as I possibly could through tears and lost my faith in humanity and even more so for our already broken justice system. I cried so hard for so long and still tear up behind this. I will pray for your family. I am sorry.
Can't you run a petition to get his sentence reduced or get a retrial?
No.
His lawyers can try to appeal his conviction and try to get awarded a retrial or they can appeal the sentence once he’s sentenced and try to get the sentence reduced. In order to appeal the conviction and get a retrial they need to present errors committed during the original trial.
You don’t just ask for a new trial because you don’t like the outcome otherwise everyone would appeal their conviction.
you can actually, it just takes a lot of will power. It is just different than appealing.
@@SKJ1616 don’t stop now, I’d like to know this, please explain how will power applies to the law.
Christina, when you gave your thoughts about this in your last video, I’m sure Nick’s brother felt your humanity and knew you were the right person to speak with. Thank you for everything you contribute to this world.
This was exactly what I thought I would share anything with her becouse of who she is ❤
She's def great at what she's does an a loving thoughtful..respectful,fair person..credit to the work an how she does these vids
Christina herself hasn't had it easy. She actually understands what a hard life is all about. Kudos Christina ❤
Exactly what I was thinking ❤❤❤
A to the MEN!!!! 🙏 🤲
The fact that he's still helping this younger generation is both incredibly sad and beautiful at the same time.
I hope it helps him get through his days
@@Louis-si4ci He's only doing these righteous heroic self sacrificing acts to lose his appeal. He is sneaky, shows no remorse for what he did, and ruined his own life by himself.
@vitalucas9452 if you were involved, just know that most people don't agree
@@chrisrussell8245 Involved with?
Involved In the case, duh.
Thank you for making this.
It seems that people who act in self defense are being punished more than hardened criminals these days.
They asked him why he was lying during his interrogation and he told the officer that he was scared because he knew that even though he was defending himself he would go to prison. He was right.
I can't believe people are still questioning why he lied. I also can't believe why nobody is talking about how every single other person lied on the stand. Nicolae was the only one that told the truth and admitted to lying.
💯 % correct !
The teens got up there and lied thru their teeth, but the judge used velvet gloves & coddled them ! The only one who admitted they lied was Nicolae. & that is the only thing he should have been charged with was lying to the cops and obstruction.
I know right!?? What happened to perjury??
It’s absolutely insane! And in the case of self defense, what he did after the fact should be irrelevant
The verdict in this case made me sick to my stomach. I believe Nicolai acted in self defense. Prayers sent for him to win on appeal and be released from prison🙏
It made me sick that he filtered four or more people with a knife within 2 minutes. Can you imagine being there? Terrifying.
@@bornfree0507 imagine being one man against a load of disredpectful brats bullying and goading you and calling you the most derogatory untrue names....imagine...
@@bornfree0507 imagine the teens, realizing if they didn’t rush him to physically assault him they wouldn’t have been within each of his knife that he extended in defense.
@@bornfree0507 maybe if you dont know how a brain (especially a damaged one) works, you shouldn't involve yourself. Also, you cannot believe you are allowed to hurt people and not expect anything in return. I totally get why this man reacted in a way. A cat in a corner attacks too when threatened. Its nature. Its also human nature. He first had a Freeze reaction, then he had a Flight reaction. When that didnt work, he had a Fight reaction. Basic mental knowledge.
@@bornfree0507 Exactly. He should have just stopped at one or two. Not four.
DUMBA$$.
NO ONE knows what they would or would not have done in that exact same situation. Get all up in MY face, hitting me, knocking me down, holding me in the water, harassing, bullying, terrorizing, assaulting, chanting... and see if I don't stab your entitled, narcissistic asssssssssssss.........* *eye roll* *
I’m mortified that he was found guilty of reckless homicide after the footage of taunting and extreme harassment from the teens towards Nicolea. They should be charged for the murders of reckless homicide by their sick behavior. It’s disgusting ,
This man needs a new trial, away from this ridiculous town that is protecting these lost losers harassing elder men w such disrespect.
Did they play all of the videos at the trial?
Not to mention their levels of intoxication. Parents should be taking the charges on that as well. Underage drunken mob mentality should be taken into account.
A heinous crime happened. One party was already breaking the law, then continued to break the law on the premise that this man was being creepy.
Surely there are no winners in this situation, but one parties actions directly escalated the situation to breaking point.
Nonsensical bs ,you don't have a clue..🤔
That juwan character incited a violent mob attack, and that's exactly what happened. Then he films himself. Lock that guy up.
But it was Reckless Homicide!
If I were one of those teenager's parent , I would be so ashamed . They used the " defending women" excuse to bully a human being.
Telling some weird pervert to leave you alone AFTER assaulting you isn’t “bullying” 🤡
Where are the underage drinking charges , the harassment and assault charges....in no way was this equal justice. I'm broken hearted for the mother but I never heard one single parent say they were bothered by the behavior of their kids
Those are all petty misdemeanors they arent going to go out of their way for those charges

Are there ANY consequences for the kids that were drinking underage, acting belligerent in public and attacking other people verbally and physically 🤔
You mean the ones that got stabbed?
Of course not! How dare you even suggest such a thing?
Heretic! 😏
And yes, I'm being facetious.
You mean the one that is dead and the others that were stabbed and gutted and the bystander that was stabbed that wasn’t even involved? Yepp
FOFA they should have left him alone and kept on floating.@NikkiJenx25
I agree, there should be consequences for the other people involved. Had they not provoked him, none of this would have happened.
Christina, I am so proud of you. I’ve been watching you for years. I saw your videos about your early years and getting into trouble. Thank you for sharing your life with strangers. I wish we could have adopted you way back then! You are an excellent story teller. You really have a gift for informing us. Take care and stay as sweet as you are! ❤❤❤
I like Christina..
Btw, I really appreciate the way you bring these stories to us. Keep up the great work!
I can’t believe none of these teenagers were charged with assaulting Nick. They are every much at fault. Nick should get time served.
I agree they pushed him down and were hitting him that's assault last time i checked.
That's because nobody assaulted him. The guy Dante pushed Nick down and slapped him in the face after and only after Nick either shoved or pushed or punched or whatever he did, he struck Madison and Dante came to her defense which is totally legal. After Dante pushes them down basically no one attacks him after that he got pushed two different times after that. That was it and last time I heard you can't just stab people because they push you SMH
He should get time served and a huge check for not getting the same "justice" most everyone else would have.
@@jamesbroomfield7799no mate. You obviously didn't see the video. And are not familar qith the testimony of each witness. It is admitted Dante punched him in the face first 31:38 . It it's not disputed. Why do dummys like you feel they need to talk about things they know nothing about??
@@jamesbroomfield7799 They didn’t just push him down. Those thugs surrounded him, grabbed him by the throat, pushed him underwater, punched and kicked him in the head. He had a right to defend himself. Oh and by the way, Madison getting hit was not seen on the video so it’s hearsay. Those punk started it when they started calling him a pedophile to antagonize him to make the TikTok video.
And now that poor guy is in a prison. Lord have mercy
I think the teenager that started should be accountable.
Can’t even defend yourself in this country anymore. Unbelievable.
You can if you’re white..
He was the aggressor 🤦♂
@@eriv4735 I watched the trial every day. That is not how I saw it. 🤷🏼♀️
kelliesuggs93 See it however you like but the FACT is he absolutely the aggressor 🤷♂
After hearing what these men survived, then to see what those bratty kids said and did is so disgusting. Such a disconnect in this country.
What the bratty kids did at best was Defamation the 52 year old fully grown man chose to turn that into Murder and multiple Assaults and him dying in prison.
@@rack391 punching someone in the face, choking them, pushing them down underwater, that's not defamation buddy, we call that assault, not sure what planet you're living on 🤔🤔🤔
@@Larry-rz4ed Only after he ran up to them grabbed one of the kids leg and tube and he hit the girl in the face first.
The girls put their hands on him trying to turn him to Leave. How do we know that because the entire "mob" was telling him to just leave, just leave, just leave.
It was Defamation until he ran up on them and escalated it to Murder and Multiple Assaults.
That guy was Guilty and his Lawyers even knew it that is why I am sure they told him and his wife to get that divorce to protect her from losing the house that would have been lost in any civil wrongful death suit.
As far as his sad story the jails are full of people that thought their sad story gave them the right to kill.

I was dating a Romanian and the stories he remembered during the regime as a child were terrifying! They also escaped, but his father body was burned 80% before. They all escsped, but he's still carries the body of surviving it. He was working for the radio " Free Europe "back then. The brother of Nicola is telling the truth and this traumatized guy needs a re- trial. Something wrong with this Justice! I would definitely sign the petition, please.
People do not understand that they never know what others have went through. They treat people like they are blank slates that will not have any reason to react any differently than they would
Same id sign it to
Me too!!
Me too! I'm Romanian, just a tad younger than these brothers, and e/thing he said is 💯 OMG, lying to authorities - we were taught this very young. Since you talk about the radio station, we were not alowed to listen to this one, and other ones that criticised the comunist regime, and my grandpa was almost incarcerated for doing so. Thank you everyone, for being decent and suporting this guy. My heart hurts for him!
What legal grounds does he need retrial on? There has to be an actual legal argument for grounds of a retrial. You seem sure of yourself stating he needs a retrial, so I’m just curious to find out the legal grounds, keeping in mind not only the federal laws, but Wisconsin laws.
Christina, you are so very kind and smart and the only person I trust on the whole internet. Thank you for your service to use ❤
Us*
Thank you for this interview Christina. What a 💔💔💔 situation. Thank you to the family for being willing to share, and know all involved are being prayed for. May Nic receive supernatural peace and come to the truth and knowledge of Jesus Christ as He carries him through this time of uncertainty and pain!
This is absolutely HORRIBLE. I feel terrible for Nick and his entire family. Those kids should all be in jail. I’m absolutely sick about this entire situation.
Same
He could have left and he had friends with him . I don’t care about his childhood. Many of us have had awful childhood. Luv Christina but what does his horrible childhood have to do with killing a young kid. Words are not violent !! I could care less if a stranger calls me a name . I would just walk away !
@@LenoreGuarino he tried to walk away and they followed and kept on antagonizing him.
@@LenoreGuarino 13 people w/a mob mentality ganging up on one & he was recovering from a quadruple bypass, he feared for his life! They were hitting, punching & strangling him in the river, after being pushed down in the river is when he stabbed them , as he was laying in the river!
Those kids were never questioned about their bullying, they had no right to touch him and pushed him over, he was recovering from major surgery. Yes he shouldn't have used his knife but that abuse they gave him for no reason at all was disgusting, all that should have been taken into account, you can not just bully somebody cause it makes you feel big.
I think it's so cool that your platform is large enough that his family reached out to you! I'm really proud of you Christina! I recognize how hard you worked to get here. I see you. Respect 🙌
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Couldn't have said it better myself!
THIS!! u go girl!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Is unbelievable the trauma this man has been put through.
This is so unfair and painful what they did to this poor men.
Honestly, all this looks that those boys they wanted to hurt him from the moment that they saw Nick ,they wanted to hurt him.
Thank you, Christina for covering this.
He should of walked away from these drunks.
They didn't let him.
he was stupid, they should have no started it in the first place, or better yet they could have walked away. But no they kept coming. Or they could have not ganged up on him, or tried rushing someone with a knife. But hey stupid here, stupid there.
I think the judge should have allowed his brother as character witness. Knowing the trauma someone faced for 16 years could explain why he reacted the way he did.
The judge was SO bias
Absolutely.
He had no choice,they wouldnt let him leave they were assaulting him following him.They should all be in jail.
I blame his lawyer for not allowing his family to speak about his past. He didn’t have a good lawyer.
Its absolutely tragic how he was treated for defending himself against these deranged self entitled teenagers
Agreed, these animals had a pack mentality building. He acted out of extreme fear. I would have done the same had I been the one mobbed
My heart breaks for this man❤
Thank you Christina for highlighting the truth❤🇮🇪
With the video evidence its very hard to imagine that nobody on the jury saw justified fear for Mr Miu to fight back with whatever was available.
WOW!!! This interview completely changed the way I perceive this case. Justice for Nicolae. Thank you for letting this family’s voice be heard.
I'm honestly interested what about the interview completely changed the way you look at the case?
Do you think what was brought out in court painted Mr. Miu as a deranged murderer ? Or had you heard about this in the news and had preconceived idea. I felt Miu was’t allowed to be vocally clear, like his brother and wife are explaining. I think it’s why they would not let them on testify.
@@judydoster5551I changed also. For one thing I saw more of the clips that I had not seen before. I didn’t realize they had pushed him down, tried to drown him and he hit his head. I also saw that he wasn’t easily allowed to leave the scene. I heard his background and realized he had a trauma response. He was in fear.
I think he should’ve been held accountable for manslaughter, but not anywhere near life. And the mob/kids should’ve been held accountable as well.
@@rhondadavis1483 best comment yet!
I’ve always taken his side, maybe b/c I’m a senior citizen! 🤷♀️ But, after hearing about the trauma his family experienced…I can totally see how that affected him during the incident! I would have had flashbacks, PTSD type response. Makes sense why he fears the police so much. Wish he hadn’t lied, but I understand.
I hope a lawyer sees this video and makes it their life mission to help this man. This is sickening... litterally crying through this entire video. Please someone help this man.
Oh my gosh I feel just like you!!! I cried when the jury's conviction came through and I am crying now 😭
Because injustice prevails in WI, I cried as well.
Yes !! This ❣️
🙏🙏
Free Nic...we should all band together and pool our resources.
🙌 🙌…Christina, I’ve been wanting an update on this…so glad you posted this.
Thank you for addressing many of the questions in this case.
He should be pressing assault charges against those young men. And those young men should be in jail. What a shame and a total miscarriage of justice.
Nicolae may have had poor street smarts, but Isaac Schuman had zero street smarts. Don't mess with a larger person who is agitated and may be carrying a weapon. I don't have any sympathy for the kid.
The parents should also be charged for providing alcohol to underage adolescents and not stopping the children
@@daisyq6532did one of the parents purchase the alcohol?
I’m sensing Nick got railroaded by small town justice.
Every adult man that stood around and watched all this nonsense unfold should be ashamed of themselves.
That's exactly how I felt, especially when Quinton Carlson testified that he sent his sons to 'de-escalate' the situation (which Dante Carlson testified was not the reasoning but 'to see what was going on'). Quinton Carlson should have gone over to mediate, himself. The stabbings occurred once the 'Carlson Group' started pushing and shoving Miu into the river.
Amen!!!!
I agree.
Exactly! Notice that as soon as Mui's friend arrived and stood by him, Nikolai stopped swinging at people attacking and laying hands on him - he finally felt safe!
The lying really screwed him
Wow Christina!! I have loved your videos and been a fan since day one, you went above and beyond with this case. I think I speak for all of us when I say we appreciate the hard work you put in to your videos and the way that you present these horrible cases to us with such grace and respect to the victims and their families. You rock ❤❤
I have been looking for ur channel FOREVER
The video of that mob of teens surrounding and screaming at Mr. Miu scared the hell out of me. I would have defended my life, too.
Slashing 5 or 6 times to defend?
@annem7806 yes, if I had been in this situation, however many times it took to stop them from trying to kill me! When someone hits you, then another comes up behind you and tries to push your head under water while others are hitting and cussing you! Absolutely his life was in danger!
Lol... He put himself in that situation. He wasn't talking to the kids. He was acting like a weirdo. He detained them without reason. He could have left. He pulled a knife in a military defensive move. He offered up his face to then stab them in the abdomen. He lied and hid. He didn't complain to police and plead self defence. If you haven't figured any of this out then you really need to watch the whole trial mate. He was ex Romanian army trained.
They kept coming back at him holding his head under water hitting and kicking him.
@@annem7806 he had serious PTSD from what he went through in Romania. Sometimes you don't even know where you are during a PTSD episode. My husband has to hold my arms down and hold me really tight so I won't hurt myself. Thankfully that happens less and less as I work on it.
This case is exactly why I now understand why my mom taught me “when in doubt, mind your own business”
It's a fine line between minding your own business and see something say/do something. It's just a sad situation all around
How about sticks n stones?
@@LanieBee724 But we all know that words do hurt, don't we? The last part of that phrase. How many young ppl have committed suicide bc of cyber-bullying? That's ALL just words, isn't it?
Yeahp! He acted in anger.
Seeing him surrounded by all of those screaming people is absolutely terrifying. I can understand his response. The crowd looked like they were going to tear him apart.
He willfully chose to walk into the middle of all those people telling him to go away. They did not surround him they did not follow him they did not chase him he put himself there.
Well done; your style keeps the focus on the interviewee and not the interviewer. I saw the river videos, and like others, was misled to believe Nicolae was in the wrong. Thank you for shining light on this devastating situation.
Thus far, I have not seen one single comment in those kids' favor. You are the only one so far. How do you get the impression that most commenters are against Nicolia? I'm just curious ...!!!
@@anitapruiett7090 Lol! I could've worded that better. Before I saw her video I thought Nic was in the wrong. Now I see the truth!
Justic was NOT served here. My heart hurts for this man. Man his creator keep and guide him 🪬🪬🪬 and grant him peace
Your crazy man!!!
🙏
I think it's more confusing now. How could the judge not let family members testify in a self-defense trial?! How the hell is that legal?! 🤯
My heart just goes out to this whole family ❤
I don’t know this for sure this is probably called hearsay lol but I’ve seen a couple comments where people are saying that the judge knew one of the younger people that were a part of the issue. So maybe he’s got a bias and is trying to get this guy in jail due to that fact. Either way it’s completely unfair.
You don't get 10 character witnesses
His life before it's not relevant. They have to make an argument that it's relevant. And the states objecting
Like the Bobbitt case, and many others, a certain time period before said incident can/can not be used ; I feel he was provoked and he (possibly) felt self-defense was necessary. Hearing the mitigating factors, I fully understand why he felt threatened. Watching the full video of him being treated that way was horrible, I couldn't get through it all. Horrible horrible horrible situation all around.
@supriseimblack I think his past experiences are absolutely relevant. It formed him and influenced the way he acted and responded and handled himself with the authorities and everyone else involved. Your life experiences, especially traumatic and life/death struggles absolutely affect you. They should have brought all this up during trial as it might explain why he lied and why he was closed off and what-not.
Thank you for bringing this to light. You are soooo right, nobody wins.
Thank you for this! Great insights and confirms a lot of what I was thinking. It's unbelievably unfair that Nick is paying such a high price for self defense and the disrespectful teenagers are not being held yo any account. It's shocking and justice has currently not been served.
That man should not be in any kind of trouble... This is the United States of America we should be able to defend ourselves without fear of going to prison for it
When was that man’s life in danger? Never. So what he got called names.
@jillhopson2275 those kids wouldn't have let him walk away and you damn well know it.
@@jillhopson2275 Your not allowed to comment if you haven't seen the video evidence mam.
The moment they started it they put him in danger. They lured him over and then brought in another group to harass and attack that man. They were pushing him down into the water and would not leave him alone.
@@marilyndoll2929 I am so glad justice prevails in this matter.
I'm SOOO GLAD you did this video, Christina!!! Those kids were OUT OF HAND!!! If those kids had attacked me like that, I would have been EXTREMELY scared for my life!!! The system in this country failed this poor man!!!
He HIT FIRST!!! Get real!!!
@@TararyzeMcg1 man and how many teenagers? I guess you'd do better 🙄
Didn't the teens shove him down into the water before the weapon was pulled?
I will forever think the jury got this wrong. Miscarriage of justice ⚖️ The only thing this guy should serve time for is lying to law enforcement, which he has already had time served
He's pride cost him his freedom, its happened more times than we could ever imagine.
