This is the type of friend you dream of . The friend that is loyal and has your back and will fight for you until the end of time. Powerful and strong and loving ❤
And took her family and made them her own. What an incredibly beautiful and strong woman. I’m sure she’d say Jennifer is worth it all and from the sounds of it she was.
It will forever be so baffling how people like Michelle Troconis cannot foresee the end result of holding the life of another mother in such contempt. You always see them like this in court, wiping away tears, but they just couldn't take a few moments when they had the chance to contemplate what this does to children. It's just mind blowing.
Dulos was a wonderful & beautiful person through and through. I think of her joy giving giving birth to every child, her incredible love for her kids, the bad luck of meeting that malignant narcissist monstrous creep who took away their mother, *AND* by unaliving himself killed any chance of those kids having a father. What a monster!! 👹 horrible horrible woman!
Unfortunately, the judge appears to have ignored these powerful impact statements and given Triconis a very light sentence given the extremely heinous nature of the crime.
I never lisen to victim impact statements but when I started to listen to this, I couldn't stop. What a very compelling statement by an obviously extremely intellingent and loyal friend. I listened to every word and sat in stunned silence.
I cried as I listened to her loving and eloquent impact statement. It was a love letter really. Spoken from the bottom of her heart. Such a long time and steady friendship is rare, I think. Bless them all and blesses and peace to the children.
Honestly the most moving testimony to true friendship (the most precious of all relationships) that I have ever seen. Jennifer’s children will treasure this for all their lives. Thank you … & condolences for your loss.
She is a wonderful friend, woman and a great speaker. We could all do well with some like her in our lives. ✌️ Why is the defendant allowed to wear ear phones?
I love that Mrs. Watts didn't hold back and told the facts! The defense attorney was disrespectful twiddling her thumbs and turning away almost in an eye roll.
Wow!! A powerful, powerful statement from a woman whose life has been profoundly affected by the senseless murder of her lifelong friend, Jennifer Dulos. And powerful indicators of Michelle Traconis's guilt articulated here by Jennifer's friend and now guardian of what Jennifer prized the most, her 5 beautiful children.
Someone has to. Without a competent defense, Troconis (or any defendant) would have grounds for a mistrial or even a dismissal, and the case dragging on for years.
Defense attorneys are not defending the individual crime per se, they are defending the constitution to ensure that they get a fair trial . The system wouldn’t work otherwise. Everyone deserves a “ fair” trial .
What exactly do you suggest we do then? Toss anyone the community feels is guilty into a cell? Toss anyone the police think are guilty into a cell? Right, because we've never had false convictions before right? Nobody has ever been found not guilty in court before right? You do not get to pick and choose who get an attorney. It is a constitutional right.
I never had a real genuine and true friend that I could trust with my life..loads of so called friends who only had time when they were wanting a favour..this lady speaking must feel empty and heartbroken at this great loss of her friend 😢.
We should all have a friend this articulate and caring-her words were damning and moving, and above all a heartfelt and profound testament to the person that Jennifer was. Brava, Laurel Watts!
I’ve had the same friends since I was 8 and I couldn’t imagine losing them like this, I truly believe we have soulmates in our closest friends 😞 so sorry for her.
This lady tells exactly what her friendship with Jennifer was like. My heart breaks for her losing such a wonderful friend. Rest in Peace Jennifer💔💔💔💔💔
WOW.. very well spoken. she was able to put her emotions into words incredibly well . her anger & heartbreak are palpable 💔💔 prayers for this families healing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is incredibly powerful. Past being so eloquently written, delivered with strength and courage. Her last act as Jennifer's best friend was by far one of the finest hours for a sole senselessly lost.
She is class... I know what i would have said and it would have never been as affective as her speech. I applaud her. Affective to the core and still kept it classy. Bamb!!!!
This victim impact statement is probably one of the best I’ve ever heard. Equally beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Also, she reminds me so much of Wendy Byrde in Ozark 🤯
That was a moving, true and accurate impactful statement. Well stated without extreme emotional outbursts. I’m sorry her kids, family and friends will mourn her the rest of their days.❤
This is the type of friend you dream of . The friend that is loyal and has your back and will fight for you until the end of time. Powerful and strong and loving ❤
What a beautiful tribute her friend gave absolutely beautiful
And took her family and made them her own. What an incredibly beautiful and strong woman. I’m sure she’d say Jennifer is worth it all and from the sounds of it she was.
@@islandthrifts809Still sad that some people are pure evil.
@@islandthrifts809 they don’t make them like this anymore
Love how she’s looking at the defendant
Me too Queen
Just disgusted with sentence
It will forever be so baffling how people like Michelle Troconis cannot foresee the end result of holding the life of another mother in such contempt.

Everyone should only hope to have a friend like her
Say that again!!!
Amen 🙏😭
Beautiful witness for her friend Jenny
Dulos was a wonderful & beautiful person through and through. I think of her joy giving giving birth to every child, her incredible love for her kids, the bad luck of meeting that malignant narcissist monstrous creep who took away their mother, *AND* by unaliving himself killed any chance of those kids having a father. What a monster!! 👹 horrible horrible woman!
Exactly!
Hers was one of the best victim impact statements. 👌
GOAT impact statement
What an incredible friend, even her attorneys seemed moved.
Now that is a victim statement with true IMPACT. Amazing composure while delivering words of import. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I agree
Unfortunately, the judge appears to have ignored these powerful impact statements and given Triconis a very light sentence given the extremely heinous nature of the crime.
@@tld7846 so sad, insult to injury.
If it wasn't court she'd get a standing ovation for that
This was such a powerful victim impact statement. Just wow.
Should never be allowed parole until she discloses where Jennifer’s body is.
Beautifully said Laurel you are an amazing friend.
I’m so sorry for your loss of a lifelong friend. I applaud you for speaking so truthfully. You did the right thing 🩷😢
That is the most brilliant victim impact statement I’ve ever heard.
Moving in Jennifer's house is beyond nuts that shows the world who you are Michelle .
Amen
I never lisen to victim impact statements but when I started to listen to this, I couldn't stop. What a very compelling statement by an obviously extremely intellingent and loyal friend. I listened to every word and sat in stunned silence.
Knocks it out the ballpark; smart, powerful, touching and stinging. "He was no svengali". Clever words
Yes, she used very effective language, to a defendant that barely spoke English, who no one argued, ever killed anyone. Assuming, is not proof.
Wow.... finally someone told the killer what she wanted, that is Jennifer's life.
Go laurel go! What an amazing speech. Bravo.
Every word this woman said gave me CHILLS!!! What a remarkable tribute-Shameful sentence from this judge-Triconis should rot in prison forever!!
Why? Troconnis no Killer Jennifer (R.I.P.) 🙏🏻
@@Ana-y3u1zYES she is
What sentence did she receive? She should say where Jennifers body is if she knows and give her friends and family some closure! Xx
@@Ana-y3u1zyes she is and she knows where Jennifer’s body is.
All of the victim Imact Statements for Jennifer were classy and showed what people she associated with!!! (Unlike the ridiculous Michelle Fan Club)
Agree!
Absolutely.
agree. f dulos was a con/user/so so beneath her. utterly tragic for those children.
Traconis cannot hold a candle to Jennifer. It’s funny how when men cheat they always trade down. I have seen it many times.
She is what we call from Brooklyn, New York a TRUE BLUE friend!!!!!!
I loved this friend she nailed it RIP Jennifer 😢
What a powerful statement! I hope Triconis rots in jail.
Horrific facts ❤ this best friend proved her love today
I’m so glad those kids have her best friend. The bond she had with their mom, all those memories… they need that.
FANTASTIC impact statement. Very well done of Jennifer's behalf by this friend. 👏👏👏
Crying for your loss, for all of us. She was a beautiful soul. 🙏
I cried as I listened to her loving and eloquent impact statement. It was a love letter really. Spoken from the bottom of her heart. Such a long time and steady friendship is rare, I think. Bless them all and blesses and peace to the children.
What a lovely friend .
Honestly the most moving testimony to true friendship (the most precious of all relationships) that I have ever seen. Jennifer’s children will treasure this for all their lives. Thank you … & condolences for your loss.
Laurel watts you are a true blessing
What a wonderful friend and a very powerful statement ❤
She is a wonderful friend, woman and a great speaker. We could all do well with some like her in our lives. ✌️ Why is the defendant allowed to wear ear phones?
I was wondering the same thing. I haven’t watched most of the trial.
english isn't her first language, I think translations are playing
Yes for translation
@@Melissa-SC73 For Spanish translation.
@@hannahh8089 Thank you makes sense.
I love that Mrs. Watts didn't hold back and told the facts! The defense attorney was disrespectful twiddling her thumbs and turning away almost in an eye roll.
The female defense attorney even nodding like she’s agreeing with everything this amazing, brave, beautiful friend states.
Wow!! A powerful, powerful statement from a woman whose life has been profoundly affected by the senseless murder of her lifelong friend, Jennifer Dulos. And powerful indicators of Michelle Traconis's guilt articulated here by Jennifer's friend and now guardian of what Jennifer prized the most, her 5 beautiful children.
What an amazing speech and an amazing friend!
I’ll never understand how attorneys defend these type of people.
Because the system wouldn't work if they didn't.
Someone has to. Without a competent defense, Troconis (or any defendant) would have grounds for a mistrial or even a dismissal, and the case dragging on for years.
Defense attorneys are a crucial part of our justice system. If we didn’t have them, we wouldn’t have justice. It’s not personal.
Defense attorneys are not defending the individual crime per se, they are defending the constitution to ensure that they get a fair trial . The system wouldn’t work otherwise. Everyone deserves a “ fair” trial .
What exactly do you suggest we do then? Toss anyone the community feels is guilty into a cell? Toss anyone the police think are guilty into a cell?

Profound speaking for her friend
This woman is an absolute gem. That was an incredible and impactful statement.
It takes a special person to have such loyal friend. RIP Jennifer!
Wow! That is a friend
I’m sorry you lost your friend.
I never had a real genuine and true friend that I could trust with my life..loads of so called friends who only had time when they were wanting a favour..this lady speaking must feel empty and heartbroken at this great loss of her friend 😢.
We should all have a friend this articulate and caring-her words were damning and moving, and above all a heartfelt and profound testament to the person that Jennifer was. Brava, Laurel Watts!
Strong woman continuing to love on the murdered mother’s children. You are a wonderful friend.
Wow this woman is the definition of a true friend, hopefully the judge throws away the key.
Wow!! This was by far an amazing impact statement - EVER!!!! I am disgusted the judge gave the lamest verdict!!! Horrible judge, why!??????????
He explained why, in detail.
Girl. Your friend is standing right next to you, clapping ❤
I’ve had the same friends since I was 8 and I couldn’t imagine losing them like this, I truly believe we have soulmates in our closest friends 😞 so sorry for her.

Her friend speech so touching
My friend for life Lynne, her and I friend’s from 3 til now, at age 52. I felt this and thought how I’m going to feel. 😢😢I’m so sorry 😢
Most powerful victim impact statement I've ever witnessed.
She spoke facts straight from the heart.
Articulated with a depth of sadness and anger that I could feel from here. Tragic. I hope the judge was moved to respect her recommendations.
Powerful, well spoken friend 💔
Powerful and heartbreaking 💔
This deserves a standing ovation 👏
This victim statement was powerful and moving. It made me cry though because my heart aches for her and for Jennifer's mother and children.
