The more I watch these shows the more I only trust my dog.
Inmywordz if you die your oh will probably eat your face
: V like I’m worried If I’m dead
Good call. I only trust my cat, the worst he could do is accidentally impale me with his claws!
theRPGmaster Hi, sorry. But I have heard a story of someone who was feasted on by her pet cats.
Inmywordz same
If I were in her shoes, even though I'm innocent, I'm going to get nervous and say wrong things. I believe the woman. The 8 year old said that she doesn't know if she did it. WTF?
Leslie Rosado it's almost like someone taught her what to say (probably her mother)
Exactly! Also if she were capable of this, why not the tantrum throwing 8 year old?
Leslie Rosado Exactly. I think she would have killed the 8 year old problem child if her plan was to for some reason kill one of the kids. Also, an 8 year old is definitely old enough to remember and stand up for themselves. My (just turned 7 year old) step daughter knows when she does something wrong and we can totally tell when she’s lying... I’m so torn but I don’t think Emily did it
Leslie Rosado I have a 9 year old and when I ask him if he did something and he answers idk that means he’s lying to me . So I think she’s lying
8 years old kids can remember anything. My nephew is 6 and he has autism and even with some learning disabilities he remembers what he does at school when asked.
It's ridiculous how often people mistake nervous body language for deception. This is aggravating to watch.
I agree! Most people I know get nervous around police, or more specifically people higher up in society or having more power than others.
The expert said the body language after asked did you killl her ? does not prove she did it could also mean she feels responsible.
I know. I rolled my eyes when they brought in the body language expert. I could just see the comments and people trying to read guilt from her actions.
Umm the expert was pointing to a gap in her story as well. And the subtle head nod is not something that comes out of nervousness.
I love how everyone is suddenly a behavior analyst expert in the comments
The fact that the father stood by her speaks volumes he knew what was up
Wow. If the 8 year old did do it then she got exactly what she wanted. Killed 2 birds with one stone. I'd be sleeping with one eye opened if I were her father.
Even if the 8yr old did do it,where the hell was Emily while this toddler was beaten to death
@@gailtacon9581 I agree she is responsible for watching the children, but the charge should he manslaughter due to willful neglect, not 2nd degree murder. There was no evidence to prove who actually hurt that baby, so a murder charge is uncalled for given they cannot prove it was a deliberate act.
Actually she got rid of 3 birds with one stone....Carrick out of the way too. I think 8yr old did it. Dad knew she had issues. But..most parents remember what time they put kids down for nap. Guilty of poor supervision..not murder.
@@gailtacon9581 good point!!!
She got found guilty because she was the only adult in the house she was responsible for them kids and 1 died and you know nothing take that 20 and do your time
My nephew when he was 3 years old he tried crushing his 6 months old brother. Jealousy is real people kids do things that are outrageous
Moon Tribe I had anger problems when little too. I remember one time I was 6 0r 7 years old I hit my sister's head with a phone. She started bleeding and was taken to the clinic. Later , around 10 I used to throw rocks to my neighbor (he is an adult) because he used to called me nicknames. I also had a fight with a boy at school and I kicked him and punched him but at the end he knocked me out with a kick in my stomach. I was a troubled girl when little. Not anymore as an adult.
my boyfriends little brothers are 4 (jack) and 1 (kaspar) and Jack has a new habit of 'hugging' Kaspar which basically means he lies on him or rolls on him. today he tried to pull his head off. Kids can hurt each other.
When I was 6 my cousin (5months older) in rage put her hands on my throat and started strangling me until I blacked out if my brother had not stopped her I would have died. So yeah kids can loose control. I believe that this woman feels guilty because she was not watching the kids like she should have. But really who thinks something like this is going happen until it does.
im glad my brother didnt try pinching me to death as he did with anybody that wasnt me or my eldest brother it would be so cute and funny looking back now
@@kittiesdiary3286 What ? how is it possible ? its not fair :(
i hope that expert doesn't try to analyse me... my head moves up and down when I breath, hes gonna accuse me of every crime...
I'm so socially awkward that it would be seen as deception.
The interviewer asked her about 30 minutes specifically. She didn't come up with that number herself. She was just answering the question
She seemed to have estimated those 30 minutes during trail, way before that interview. During her answer she just confirmed it, I think.
What I don't get is that it is made to seem very implausible that she estimates a fairly accurate time window while not knowing any other specific times because that isn't that strange or unusual.
Becca Wiengarn Exactly!
Joy Wayward Right!
Ryan Kraulik the 30 minutes she brought up herself in the trail, this was filmed after conviction! ShEs oNlY aNsWeRiNg ThE qUeStIoN 🤦🏼♀️🙄😂
Guilty
I get nervous when a cop drives by and I'm just walking by eating my ice-cream lol I'm a nervous reck
That's why I don't believe in body language that much but I kind of believe this women...
Hello Pearl lol same
Ikr same and it would be normal for this woman to show these signs cause she has been locked up for a year and another 19 years if she didn't prove her innocence. Of course she would be dead nervous about her every action because she wanted everyone to believe her. Can't they just learn the fact that kids are capable of killing someone, leave this poor woman alone
I'm not sure whether or not I believe her, but personally I don't think there's enough evidence to convict her rightfully.
Simply Me me too
Same
He's overanalyzing.
I feel like that should be two words
Like could definitely be wrong but it's weird to look at
3:22 yeah. Its not bcoz she doesn’t believe her own answer. The nodding is like dignifying her answer.
Yes a,hole!💀
Or like finding a definite reason that SHE did it! Yk putting all the blame on her
This so called “expert” is pure BS.
Yes
We need The Behavior Panel to do this case.
Absolutely!
I think it's easy to see that Emily is guilty or not telling the full truth
Yeah it really shows how fucked up the justice system can be when the mother gets 20 years with no evidence against her and they bring in an idiot fake science moron for drama
They should be interrogating the 8 year old with child psychologist or some other expert her answers were just so vage and they never pressured her for real answers given her history of horrible tantrums 🤷♀️
Expert lie catching is bs. If I were that woman I would have a hard time remembering exact times. Let's be real, not everyone pays attention to the clock all day - I know I don't. I feel so bad for her.
yes but she knew it was only 30 mins she left the house
Something so important you do not forget. She also remembered the 30 minutes. This woman is lying. And this poor innocent baby lost her life. And now to top it off she's trying to ruin the life of an 8 year old. That does not have the capability or the mentality to defend herself. Regardless she was the adult and she was responsible to take care of those children. And keep them from harm's way. Too convenient that that child that ended up time supposedly had taken an extended nap for no reason?
Why not take lie detector test then
Agreed!
She never said 30 mins. The 30 min time frame was suggested by the interviewer. She just agreed with it. She is not an aggressive person so she didnt feel the need to argue when that amount of time seemed reasonable.
The 8 year old sister did it
lip latham same
I agree
For thrown temper tantrum on her yound sister causing her death and try to get away with this!
@@alexajessup9951
Her 8 year old slutty little friends are fucking dangerous, who knows what are they up to in their free time... I say kill them all. Kill them with fire!
lip latham if you’ve watched this show for long, you’ll know the woman is very capable
I feel like the reason she leaves out details is not because she’s avoiding it but because she wasn’t there when it happened so she doesn’t know exactly what happened, she just knows what she walked in on. I don’t know thats just what I think... plus traumatic events like this can cause people panic and confusion and to forget specific details such as time
So at first he said, "Most people think its about head or body movement but its really about what they say" but then HIS HIGHLIGHT IS HER HEAD NODDING 🤣🤣🤣
@John Hicks Im sorry You had what in your mouth??
Especially when some people nod to confirm they feel strongly about what they’re saying, regardless of if it’s a yes or no. IMO a head shake plus a nod would read like “no, and yes, I’m sure of that” to me
Yeah, I can believe the child did it. Explosive enough, and big enough, to push her soon-to-be-mother-in-law into a wall, history of explosive tantrums, it could've been an accidental murder. Episodes CAN cause memory loss, the 8 year old could honestly not remember she even did it.
By the way, I get anxious in front of interviewers and friends when doing ANYTHING from small interviews to speeches, I twitch and my voice trembles. "Expert" my ass. A HEAD TWITCH? MY BODY LITERALLY SHAKES! And his assumptions fall on the same level as Ken Ham's claims.
And besides, EVERY PARENT FEELS RESPONSIBLE, whether they did it or not.
Kick With Nick i also believe the 8 year old did it
Ok I needed to read this... It is possible for a 8 year old to kill someone they can't just automatically point at the parent like wtf...
I believe an 8 year old could too..I have a 9 year old daughter who has violent outburst and she has pinned me against a wall many times. When they are in a rage they are not thinking with their brain only with emotion
Emily says she pushed her. She's in the navy and why would she let some little girl push her? That's when you sit that girl down and have a talk.
This soft spoken white girl is lying and using that statement to lie and say she has the strength to push a woman so she is able to kill a 2 month old
The lie expert guy is a hack. It's not an emotional leak when it's led by the correct head movement. The 'emotional leak' could have been prompted by the interviewer giving Emily a positive feedback for her answer like a slight head nod or a 'ok' mouth movement. I mean for christs sake a 9 year old boy shot his 13 year old sister in the back of the head over a video game recently. It's not a giant leap to say the older sibling could kill the toddler.
The lady already had a kid she knew how to handle kids. I was beaten and raped and I had memory gaps, if I found a toddler dead at the bottom of the stairs or dying with obvious grievous injuries I'd get shook up too and not remember everything about the day.
People are not robots or computer programs you can't predict the output based on the input or prompt. Humans do not work that way and this hack isn't taking into account psychological toll or even emotions around it. He just wants to be definite about everything he says in order to keep his job until he retires and make an easy living leading mobs and condemning people that could be 100% innocent.
When he's asked if he thinks Emily is lying he dodges the question. He refuses to answer it and uses all sorts of logical fallacies to redirect the interviewer and the interview in general. He's a hack and is as shady as politicians using those redirection tactics to avoid answering questions.
Crime Watch Daily shame on you for giving this hack the time of day and his '15 minutes of fame'. Come on; at least try to look like an unbiased source of information and event coverage.
Tori Collins yup!
Agreed
I’m kind of on the fence, but you make a better argument than most people in this comment section. I mean, I know the rest of the world is declining before our eyes right now, and that murder is part of it, but good job to you, bro.
Tori Collins A very wise comment. I completely agree with you. I think this young lady has very honest eyes. And I believe her.
Finally anyone who's rational here, thank you!
This is exactly what "reasonable doubt" means! It's ridiculous how many times jury's are more focused on giving the victims families a conviction instead of their jobs. If there's reasonable doubt you find them NOT GUILTY no matter how tragic it is!!!
Voice, tone , body language all changes when your nervous. It’s normal !
So much reasonable doubt here, she should have been found not guilty based off that alone.
I agree. It's tragic :(
Indira Lakshmi Sad to see that „Innocent until proven Guilty“ is not taken serious at all..this woman got her life ruined by that.
Tigerpaw and Indira Tara
Very tragic when the jury is too stupid to judge Emily's character.
@@ryankraulik3823 The crazy thing is even the jury was doubting if she did it or not, but still found her guilty. I'd be amazed if she doesn't get a retrial off the foreman's interview alone.
She was still negligent. If you know there’s a volatile hothead, you keep watch much more than just every 30 minutes. The kid might start destroying property randomly.
These "experts" claim to know based off body language. But I get nervous just being questioned. Its stupid thatbsome of these "expert" claims are heavy influence. Sometimes theyre full of shit
agreed. Everyone reacts differently and there is no 'guidelines' to catch if someone is lying. I've watched many crimewatch videos, and some killers are just so calm and some would crack easily after some interrogations. For her case, I do believe her because she did not have any motive to kill the baby, she just got engaged and was planning for her big day so why would she do that? and the 8 years old even answered 'i don't know' when asked if she would hurt the baby. The lack of clear evidences makes me wonder why she was sentenced.
alan teoh and this woman was heavily interrogated
Are you serious? Body language, the eyes, hand gestures are clear "tell" signs that can not only tell someone's demeanor but can also tell I f they are lying or not. She's nods yes right after saying no? Red face but why so little (if at all) tear flow? Nervous? She's not shaking or fidgety handed. She's more nervous hoping one of her two bullshit stories (Yes make note 2 different stories; originally a fall down the steps now blame your daughter story.) holds up so she can get out. You don't have be a rocket scientist to figure that out. The bitch is clearly lying and indeed killed her daughter and even if the 8 year old did she's still just as liable for allowing that many marks on that toddler. Stop thinking with your dicks. thank god you guys aren't detectives.
@Antonio No thank god you aren't detective. So you can convict someone based on their hand gestures and body language?? These are the clear signs? We don't need concrete evidence or whatsoever right, just based on someone's interpretation of 'body language' and determine if she/he is guilty. No tears doesn't mean she is emotionless, like i said everyone reacts differently to different situation, I didn't cry when my mother passed away but deep down it hurts like shit. Does that mean i lied if i said i was sad about my mother's death? Do you even watch the videos? the 8 years old did not deny that she hurt the toddler. Seriously, if you want to be a smart ass, at least be smart.
alan teoh Never said she was guilty just off body language dumbass. There's plenty holes in her story. Most noted she couldn't even get the timeline right. I said body language is clear "tells" when someone is spilling bullshit out of their mouths (meaning lies). Since it's after the fact it's more confirmation that the right person is behind bars. Also I didn't say she didn't cry I said Croc tears (meaning she is forcing her tears out.) Well you didn't cry for your mom because you probably wasn't close to her or you didn't best relationship or your a straight dickhead waiting for the her inheritance. I'm pretty sure a Mother will have a good relationship with a child SHE JUST HAD. Her 2 different stores (if your telling the truth why should your story change AT ALL..hmm? Nervous my ass, if you didn't do anything why the fuck are you nervous?! Maybe because when she found out the X-rays didn't 100% cover her "fall down the steps" story she had to change it; oh yeah I got it my 8 year old did it.) More nervous that they were on her ass. Overall, even if the 8 year old did it which I doubt an 8 year old can do all that and a parent not find out about it. Did you not see all the injuries? Blunt force trauma to her head, bruises and cuts on her lower back arms and legs, her arm was also dislocated and your saying an 8 year old can do all that without the mother or father noticing? Emily should still fry for even allowing all that damage to be done to that toddler. Once again stop thinking with your dick this bitch is an ugly ass unfit mother and deserves to stay in her cage forever.
That baby would've been screaming her lungs out.
Not if there was more than just the stairs incident. But we will never know.
I sure as hell can hear one of my kids screaming when I’m standing by the street
You're telling me that the older sister had 30 minutes of alone time with her younger sister and you didn't hear a single scream, cry, thump or anything? I call bs. And you didn't hear her fall down the stairs, you found her? No.
Thank you someone with sense! If a 8 yr old is that violent to a 20 month old baby leaves that many bruises and actually pushes them down the stairs, how does the parent not hear a thing, complete bullshit.
Was the sister regularly violent ? Was she capable of such bruises and harm ? Personally I think the right person was convicted.
@@nayabdullah4915 seriously.. the sweet innocent voice too. Every time...so evil...
If she was in the yard talking on the phone she may not have heard it.
First of all if the 8 year old has been known to be aggressive, why would Emily leave a baby for 30 minutes alone with her???
by who's accounts the lying Emily and defence attorney. No evidence or Dr.s diagnosis or did I miss something. If they child was a credible suspect in court Emily would not be in jail
Like the expert said, she feels SOME responsability. I would feel a ton of responsability too if someone killed someone else under my watch. If the step mom and a motive to kill anyone, it was the 8 year old. This wouldn't be the 1st time a kid killed another kid. So she left them unattended for a few hours, as a mom, I've done that shit too and it doesnt make you a terrible parent, it makes you human to not assume that an 8 year old is going to harm their own sibling. I know this was a reupload but I had never watched it because I usually dont like stories where kids die and I had a biased opinion that the mom did it but now I'm pretty convinced she's innocent
Totally agree
Dam BUT for how long did she leave them Unattended?!! If the 8 year old has a Violence problem Or Outburts...SHE MUST BE WATCHED AT ALL TIMES. Maybe the 8 year old should've had her Own Caretaker So it's not so Hard for Everyone
The eight year old and the lady should take a lie detector test
those are inaccurate
Body language is an old outdated technique. Some get anxious while talking to authorities. I believe it shouldn't be used unless it's necessary and the very last option because of how unreliable it is.
Exactly. I think it can help in some cases but not everybody is the same and it's shitty if you get nailed because you're an anxious individual. I hope I never get blamed for a crime because I get fucking nervous talking to new people let alone being accused of murder.
Yes so true! I consider myself to be a pretty brave person, but when a cop walks past me casually, I get shaky and nervous. I understand how someone can be misread that way.
Yeah. It could be a neurological tic the woman could happen under duress, or the common self-cradling that people do under high levels of duress. Then there's the physical language that puts emphasis on their answer. If someone on the internet can name 3 ways it could be debunked, then he needs to find another career... Like fortune telling.
And this coming from someone who has tarot cards.
Too bad he didn't interview the child.
I don't think she did it for different reasons: First she has never had any violent background towards any body or anything in the past. Second: knowing the time and knowing the duration of the time are different things. third: She has no logical reasons to kill this girl. She had a reason to kill that 8 year old but not this cute little girl. If she wanted to get aggressive by some childish behavior it would have been the older sister not the younger one. fourth: The older sister didn't remember anything??? really?? She is not 6! She goes to school and she studies math for crying out loud. She was obviously told by her mother to only say I don't know and I don't remember to point the fingers towards Emily. and Fifth: The father even admitted that the older sister had problems and was violent. sixth: breaking a kid's skull could easily be done by a 6 year old pushing a head towards hard objects. like stairs. and Let's not forget how powerful 5 year old kids become when they are angry and stubborn.when they bite it bleeds and when they hit they leave very painful bruises (Based on my own experience)!! Let alone being 8 and pushing a kid towards sth hard repeatedly.Emily obviously feels guilty for not being careful with the kids. She may even have left the house to get sth! But she has not killed this little girl. End of story
Maisy most serial killers didn't have a violent background before they started killing. Lol. That's not proof of anything.
Cleveland A Smith’s Hairline
Almost ALL serial killers have a violent background. Usually very early in life, and usually against small animals.
I agree
I was thinking the same thing in regards to a probable victim. If the 8-year old had been the victim then I would feel quite convinced that Emily was guilty, but there's nothing explaining why she would hurt Anna. And she's guesstimating the time frame, there is definitely a difference between knowing what time it is and how much time has elapsed between moment A and moment B. I was myself a witness of a crime and had to give a time of how long I was away from the victim. I knew the time was around 4-ish am, but I couldn't say exactly. I did however guesstimate that I was gone for ca 40 minutes. I have to admit I think the 8-yo did it. Of course Emily had responsibility for the children, and she could have done a better job of that, considering that she knew the 8-yo was violent and probably shouldn't be left unsupervised. But that doesn't make her a killer. It makes her human. We all make mistakes.
@king james - that is wildly inaccurate. "lol."
Everytime I see these videos the women look so different from any photos they show. I would think they're not even the same person.
Anyways, it's pretty sad that the jury basically didn't know so the split it in the middle which is crazy. Either she did it or she didn't, not some halfway punishment! Also, at 8 years old the kid should be able to answer yes or no, not I don't remember, I don't know.
Kids will often answer “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember because they do not want to get in trouble. It’s a clear sign they did something. You ask a child why they did something who watched them do. They say I don’t know or I don’t remember or even it wasn’t me. Even though you watched them do it.
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law my ass
Because they don't have hair color nor hair dressers in prison so looks like she just chopped off her hair
I think the whole twenty years thing as they said in the previous video, she was the responsible one at the time of her death. Wether she did it or not it could have been prevented if she did her job as a parent. So she's charged.
Do you know how much force you need to fracture a skull? An 8 years old kid would never have that much strength! it's absolutely ridiculous claim, kid could be angry and slap her sister or even if she pushes her onto down the stairs, the toddler must have gotten bruises on her arms and legs that is consistent with the fall. She's got nothing except the one on her stomach, which is an evidence of hitting the child by an adult.
It's either the father, or mother. The two adults in the one house surely responsible. This dumb ex military let all her frustration out on the little girl. sad.
lol I think based off of this, if I ever ended up being near a crime scene, I would get convicted for a crime I didn't commit. I get anxious just talking to the cashier at starbucks and I hate when I feel people looking at me. I break eye contact so often people think I don't like being near them. But its only cause of my social anxiety issues.
One of two things probably happened: she lost her temper with the toddler or she ignored the sisters fighting and rough housing. I think both she and the 8 year are responsible. That's why the child keeps saying she doesn't know and doesn't remember. By 7 you know right from wrong. You would know at her age not to shove someone down the stairs. And I think Emily was ignoring the kids, for whatever reason. Her calmness irritates me because it's so ridiculous. Anyone in her situation would be fighting tooth and nail to prove her innocence. She has shark eyes. They're so empty. Ugh.
finally someone pointed it out! she definitely had some involvement i don’t understand why majority of people in the comments are claiming she is innocent. if that were me who wanted to be proven innocent you’d hear the frustration in my voice! she’s too calm indeed.
@@em-pr8dx We'd be good psychiatrists. 😏
@@desicatz wouldn’t we just😉
@@em-pr8dx I agree, she's way to calm
I think the 8 year old did it to split up the step mom and the 8 year olds Dad
Brianna Legace it's an 8 year old...she barely comprehends that whole concept. Stop being an idiot. The bitch did it and deserves to rot in prison. How the fuck would an 8 year old split up the father by killing her younger sister? Dummy.
Cleveland A Smith’s Hairline that’s just my opinion don’t like it then just ignore it
Cleveland A Smith’s Hairline everyone is allowed to have an opinion
Brianna Legace sorry I was a bit harsh. But clearly an 8 year old (I'll be god damned if I remember what I did at 8) doesn't understand relationships enough at that age to commit a murder and try to set up an adult? Lol
Cleveland A Smith’s Hairline believe me that a child that age can be evil and manipulating. I know one like that. She's 9 and she has no regards for authority or consequences. I never leave my toddler alone with her for even a second.
Emily stated in the other video she has never had an outrage at anyone or anything in her whole life, her family could testify to that too to prove she isn't violent when angry. I do believe the 8 year old is at fault and the real mother deep down knows too just doesn't want to come with terms
You are very smart to believe what people say, especially someone who just killed a baby . you're an idiot . of course she' s not going to admit killing her and it's normal for your family to defend her, that is why we have a court system and lawyers to defend criminals or people who breaks the law.
@@arceliachairez1199 thank you
Get her on Steve Wilkos for a LIE DETECTOR TEST!
100
“We have a specific 30 minute window”
“She wasn’t looking at the clock”
Interviewer: Is that accurate?
Emily: yes
Okay so she wasn’t looking at the clock but my dad doesn’t wear a watch or look at his phone and he can literally tell how long it’s been. He’s 70. He’s old. This crap don’t make sense.
If Emily was going to kill anyone, woudnt it have been the TROUBLE MAKER? The kid who has VIOLENT outbursts ( of which I havent heard described). It would make more sense for the 8 yr. old to have been at the bottom of the stairs by Emilys hand than the little one.
The little one was near the same age as the boy.... who wouldnt want a built in playmate?
I completely agree.
Whoa, great point!
We're taking her word that the eight year old was THAT violent. Wouldn't the birth mother know there was some risk there? And 1 year old's are much harder to take care of than 8 year olds, even if the 8 year old was more troubled. The thing that settles it is this: Emily was watching these kids. At the very BEST, Emily is guilty of gross negligence. An 8 year old could've wounded a 1 year old, but 8 year old's don't don't have the size or strength of an adult. She wouldn't be able to hurt the toddler very fast, which means the toddler would've been making noise of some kind. So either she did the crime or she sat there and listened to the 8 year old killing the child. Either way, she's fucking guilty and where she belongs.
Im not convinced she killed the kid or didnt.
You also have to ask why she'd let the 8 year old near the other kid if she was so scared of her and who let's old kids play were younger kids are sleeping? The more you look at it, the more this woman looks guilty.
funny how they forget when the 8 yr old was question it was I don't know I don't remember! it's cause she did it.
the kid also had a motive. it is stated she didn't like Emily. the kid could easily blame her for this knowing nobody wants to believe a child did this
absolutely👍👍
My 9 year old sister always responds with “I don’t know” when she’s caught having done something she knows she shouldn’t. Honestly I hope more evidence can come out. If her own father can say how violent she can be, I just don’t think I can accuse anyone other than the little girl in my mind.
@Piatequila of course an 8 year old could cause such injuries, angry children are not to be messed with, also considering Annabelle was much younger than the 8 year old, there is no question that they cpuld inflict such suffering.
@@katewilkinson3640 If a 12 year old boy could beat up an 8 year old girl, a grown woman can definitely stop an 8 year old girl from inflicting such injuries, in fact she could do what was done to Annabelle to the 8 year old girl as well, she could break this girl's skull and push her down the stairs to kill her as well.
I believe her for some reason :(
I believe so too. Her reaction is so much more genuine than that of the actual mother and parents like the McCanns. :(
):
Probably cuz y’all guilty to smh
If I'm accused of doing something I didn't do, I would definitely be believing that I did it because everyone is telling me so lol
For some reason I believe her
i did but not too sure anymore. Something seems fishy
I dont. How is it possible if it was her older sister, that she did not hear any crying or noise??
gizmo420420 ur a idiot
Yeah, for some reason. The reason being you’re a gullible dummy.
gizmo420420 Yeah, the nameless, faceless coward casting aspersions about a handsome, brave, intelligent beefcake like me. You’re worthless.
Also, learn how to use basic punctuation, you moron.
They should ask they 8 years old classmates, teachers and neighbours about her 'explosive tantrums' and if they exist how bad they actually are.
If it turns out that they are bad then it's possible that she did it cause she was upset about her dad's engagement anyway. (which was just one day before her sister's death)
The only question for me is how didn't Emily hear the kid falling down the stairs?? usually a sound like that can even be heard outside of the house.
Amy Hassan and how did she not of heard the baby cry from those hits to throws
Cutiepie Thehausan The hits are reasonable since it was on the first floor but when someone falls down the stairs (no matter how small they are) there should be this 'thump thump' sound which the ear picks easily. If she didn't fall down the stairs but OFF the stairs (which caused her neck injury) then there should just be one 'thump' sound that will also be really loud.
The 8 years old answers are suspicious though, it sounds like someone taught her to answer like that (probably her mother) but I honestly don't know.
Cutiepie Thehausan There is also this thing, when a person gets into a realitonship with someone who has kids,they fear losing that realitonship if any harm happens to any of the kids bc the parent will be on alert of that person,so I don't think she is stupid enough to kill that child just one day after her engagement and if she was a killer she would kill the older one instead (bc she was against the engagement). on the other hand maybe that was her plan,kill the little one and blame it on her sister so she can get rid of both of them and it will only be her, her fiancee and her son.
I really don't think there are enough evidence in this case, I don't think they questioned enough people.
katherine harvey I don't think the teachers have that kind of authority
Amy Hassan In most states they do they keep after the parents and threaten them with cps .If the dad or mother refused to believe she needed meds just change schools for awhile happenes more than you think
Whoever that 8 yr old is , just know that this will always haunt you , how could you live with that
I believe her, it’s entirely plausible for an angry 8 year old to do this
Why don't these "experts" take a look at the kid?
Where was the kid while all of this was happening?
Why didn't she hear anything, or see anything?
"Oh it's a kid, she could never have done this"...
"head twitch" If anything, I'd say the "sigh of relief" but a head twitch?
*Gets a lazy eye of bs twitch*
No adult with a shred of brain would cause such bruises on their victims...
It's absolutely insane to me that someone can spend 20 years of his life behind bars without any waterproof evidence... this isn't right
So unfair that there are only circumstantial evidences for this case and she is convicted..while other cases with only circumstantial evidences have been unsolved for decades
The 8 year old kept saying “I don’t know” when they asked if she herself killed her sister. How did they overlook that? 8 years isn’t that young to be confused about a question or to make stuff up
but it’s young enough to be nervous infront of a court full of people. of course an 8 year old is going to slip up!
Why don't they do a lie detector test?
Emily Louise Ann Morris its not admissible in court so it wouldnt matter
Even if so, they still should do one to see what it says. Would be interesting.
Emily Louise Ann Morris i agree it would be interesting to see what it says. I dont believe she killed her stepdaughter. I think the sister did it because she got mad.
The lie detector is not admissible in court, but it will give the detectives an idea if she is being truthful or not. I somehow believe she killed Anna. At her age, she is not mature enough to look after three kids at those ages every single day. She snapped and killed Anna 😏🤷♀️
you guys need to understand that a hardened criminal can be found completely innocent under a lie detector test because they can keep calm and believe their lies however if a person is innocent but gets nervous easily or is not emotionally strong, they can fail the lie detector test even if they are 100% innocent so the polygraph test is just a gimmick and that is why it is stupid and unreliable
Well listen if the 8 year old did it, it will come out later in life, because clearly her mother is in denial and not getting her the help she needs. She’ll kill again smh
Queen Ness yep
Damn some one has to spend 20yrs in jail and someone else has to die before we find out the truth, that sucks but I so agree
Boss Ladiee....pretty much how the justice system works sometimes smh! It truly sucks
Why didn't they do a better investigation? I honestly think the 8 year old was guilty. I think eventually the truth will come out.. so sad either way, but to lose the love of your life, lose the only life you've know, lose everything & get thrown in prison for something you didn't do. That's just awful.
With the amount of injuries this baby suffered.....there was not a mention of the toddler screaming, crying, weeping, sobbing at the moment, during .... or after her injuries were inflicted.
She would have at least been sniffling/whimpering AFTER her abuse took place in the so called “30 minute” window the older sister had alone with her.
Where was this woman while this attack was going on????? Why did she not note that this toddler was distressed when she put her to bed? Why did this woman not think it appear odd that the child overslept her bed time..... red flags in my eyes, just saying.
Exactly what I was thinking.
She should not be locked up !
What was it again?
Innocent until proven guilty? Yeah was there any proof for her killing her Step-daughter?No.
Im pretty sure it was the sister ..
Really sorry for this poor woman that the American Court is so fucked up
That wouldnt have ended like this in germany (where i live).
is it just me? or can you also see her slightly smiling, when the question was asked if she killed that little girl.
this always scares me because not everyone expresses "truthfulness" with the same face/ body language
One thing I remembered from her interview, she said that violence was never her solution to problems. Clearly, that 8 year old must have been a problem and a child that took a lot of getting used to. Soooooo...why didnt she ever say anything like, "If I were to kill any child, it would have been the 8 year old" or something along those lines? I feel like it's because she really isn't a violent person.
The 8 year old was the one stopping them from getting married, hurting them and making life difficult. Why not kill the 8 year old or use that to her defense when she's in trouble for supposedly killing Annabelle? Her mind didn't immediately go to killing the 8 year old because she doesn't have violent thoughts like that. Another thing...people talking about her "story changing". At first, she said Annabelle fell down the stairs...because that's what it looked like! It looked like she fell down the stairs. Don't you think if she was really trying to frame the child, she would have blamed the kid right from the start? Wouldn't the 8 year old have told if the stepmom did it? Kids aren't gonna take the fall for something they didn't do. If she was outside, she'd say she was outside. If she was taking a nap, she'd say she was taking a nap. Not "I don't know.". Maybe my reasoning is stupid...but what I think happened was:
Step mom and 8yr old were outside while the baby was upstairs.
Step mom might have said something about being excited to get married, which caused the 8yr girl's sudden fit of anger. She goes into the house, beats up the baby, goes back outside. The baby tries to get downstairs to get some kind of help and she falls down the stairs and later the step mom finds her. That's my theory. Don't kill me.
so how do you explain the step moms change of story? she would have heard the aggressive beating Anna was getting, if not, the banging and crying. surely she were to notice the bruises on her yet she still told police it was a fall down the stairs? only to yet change her story that the 8 year old did it? does not add up
Just question the 8yr old and throw her in prison. At this point I think we all agree that Emily didn't do shit and she's telling the truth.
There are some compelling arguments in the analysis. Like how she gladly accepted the "30 minute window" theory the interviewer gave her without even thinking about it. Or how she doesn't explicitly say "Her sister killed her" but muddles all over the "There was somebody else in that house that could have done it". But this expert tries to make too many points. The head movement? Yeaaah, no. I wouldn't right away lock up someone for that little movement.
Space.Muffin you have to remember tho that what we are seeing is what they cut and put together how they wanted it. Im sure she said lots more things that we dont know about because they cut it out.
I also think she kept with the 30 minute window because that's what she estimated during the trial and interrogation and she doesn't have an any more plausible option. When they ask her to tell the time window during court and she estimates 30 minutes, why wouldn't she confirm that in an interview a year later?
Space.Muffin I may not be able to look at the sun and know what time it is but I sure do know what half an hour feels like. Why does her not knowing the exact time of day but knowing how much time passed for a specific event seem so implausible?
Faerie Citty sometimes half an hour feels like 5 mins sometimes it'll feel like an eternity so idk
Space.Muffin it's not the reason she is locked up. The head movement is one of those involuntary gestures humans exhibit when lying. It's science. And that isn't why she was found guilty.
This is ridiculous! If we show up for an interview with this dude he'd call us all liars at this point.
I feel as if the biological mother of the girls was telling the oldest to hurt the younger child,leave bruises and such. So the father would notice, blame the fiance ,and eventually leave the fiance, I think she told her 8 year old to push her down the steps not with the intention to kill. This is just a theory
that's actually a pretty good theory now you've got me really thinking
Yeah. I would agree that the mother has more motive to kill the younger one than the step-mother. The accused preferred the toddler over the 8 year old. Why didn't she kill the one with the temper? A baby that can barely talk is not a viable witness, whereas an 8 year old can be one.
All she said was "I don't know" and "I don't remember". Kids can be good liars, but those two responses are red flags.
I'm innocent af and I gt nervous just walking into a store and a clerk starts following me around. I get even more nervous when I walk out with nothing because I didn't find anything I liked because I think they'll think I stole something. People get nervous even when they've done nothing wrong. She knows she's under scrutiny of course she's nervous.
Rachel, your comment gave me a big laugh! And so true, because I am just like you!
I am amazed at the amount of people on here saying she is innocent. My biggest problem is how could she not have heard the savage beating that was going on. Her story really stinks.
OMG THE 8 YEAR OLD DID IT JUST BELIEVE HER ALREADY
Edit: Did I mention the eight year old did it?
She’s not going to remember everything after a year even when I’m telling a simple unemotional story I can hardly remember details
Its not completely unbelievable that a explosive tempered child could have done it. Kids have killed before, they arent suspects because of their wge but if she did it, she will kill again because she got away with it. I don't know if I believe her but I wouldn't count the aggressive 8yr old out
Scootchie and Boo plus there was no evidence that 8 year old didn’t do it all her answers were vague and unclear and no definitive answers were given.THIS IS MAKING ME SO CONFUSED!!!!!!
Scootchie and Boo I like that name it's cool it should be scoochie and boo boo
Tbh I'd pull out a lie detector test, like seriously.
I believe her. I was a very angry child. I had a lot to deal with. (nuff said). I could have easily killed someone when I was even younger than 8. Thanks to the grace of God, I didn't! I believe the sister did it. Either way, body language be damned, I believe her. A guilty person doesn't buck the odds to "CLEAR THEIR NAME"!!!
Everyone’s arguing about how it was the step mom or the daughter but why is no one talking about how tragic this case is it’s so sad that a helpless toddler lost her life that day and I feel terrible for the parents
I believe her. I have no doubt in my mind that the child did it.
This is the thing thats fucked up about interviews, when someone doesn't have their own time frame down, they are looked at as liars. I mean, I'm not saying the girl didn't do it, I'm saying who sits there and looks at their watch everytime they do something to record what time they did it. Days fly by, time flys by. To sit there and accuse someone of being a liar because they don't have an exact time for every shit they took one day is kind of absurd, especially on a day as traumatizing as a baby dying.
Due to her not watching all the children at all times is why she feels emotional about it due to a child dying in her care.
I'm an emotional empath which means i can discern whether or not people are lying when they're talking its an instinct and i can feel this woman is lying furthermore i can also detect a hint of jealously of the toddler in the step mom.
I am inclined to believe you actually .
Lmao if I cry that means I’m lying 😂 She could be crying because she is scared for herself
I'm a Doctor and I could tell she is innocent, The death of the 2 year old occured from the 8 year old sister, rough housing the younger one. The death was accidental but 8year old do commit murder unconciously.
My son is 4 years old. There’s been times he’s playfully done something to me that’s shown me how strong he is. I don’t doubt for 1 moment that an 8 year old could have intentionally or unintentionally killed that baby.
The more I watch these the more I legit get scared to be in my own house
No Chris Hansen nobody "likes this story" its horrible...
I love your name, it inspires me.
theRPGmaster haha thanks.
theRPGmaster haha thanks. 😁
your name is misspelled, though.
beccahday I know. Can't change it at the moment lol. My drunk friend did this to me.
If she were to kill anyone it would be the 8 year old ! And the 8 year old is the one with the anger issues
Exactly. Who would you set up, the sweet toddler you have a bond with or the belligerent eight year old who hates your guts?
I think body language can play a minor role in determining deception but it definitely is not a nail in the coffin if someone committed a crime
That 8yr old sounds like she didn't give a shit about her baby sister's death. She sounds so monotone and careless when she was asked if she killed her.
I believe her ! I mean why would she hurt the not troubled kid, also her life is going in the right direction and she has a toddler of her own and the house so she know what a mother means.
Yeah. if she killed the older one instead, then I would say there would be a motive. Why did she call, instead of killing the other one beforehand?
By her fiancé leaving her after the trial, tells me he didn't believe her and wasn't worth staying with or proving her innocence. R.i.p. Baby girl.
christy7270 or he couldn't come to terms with his own daughter being responsible.
Or he couldn't wait 20 years for her to come out. Also, it's understandable that he left her - almost like he wants to just move on and not be reminded of his daughter's death.
christy7270 all he wanted was a babysitter
Agree with Vanna...he couldn’t face that his daughter could be capable of so much rage..just like the ex wife can’t accept it either. I definitely believe this woman is innocent.
that whole “emotional leak” is total bs. she was letting out a sigh, for gods sake
When you sit down for a while, don’t we tend to lower our heads ? If so, than to shake our head we would need to elevate our head. So after the head shaking she could have just put her head back down ?
What do you guys think ?
bull shit. what a lame excuse
Absolutely I would feel a bit responsible for what happen, for not protecting the two year old. I think the 8 yr old did it.
Emily is clearly innocent. The 8-year-old is to blame.
Doesn’t make sense why the women would be telling the truth doesn’t add up
I'm like a minute in but if he's reacting to her interview with crime watch that's RIDICULOUS, he should be watching her first questioning by police and reacting to those authentic emotions/recounts ???
This is one of the worst cases ever...because they only have two people. The older sister and the mother. Can you imagine being in that situation. It must be horrible. And just the little girl dying is terrible. I wish this family the best of luck. And rest in peace.
I believe she's innocent
The real mom was giving me an off feeling. What if the real mom was mad about her ex husband moving on and she knew her 8 year old daughter didn't like her so she made an pact to break them up. So the 8 year old kills the baby and the step mom goes to jail. 🤔
It's highly unlikely that the biological mom would have her own daughter killed to frame a woman in order to keep her away from her ex husband
I agree on the first point, she doesn't seem honest or considerate.
I believe she can. Mothers and especially fathers will kill their own children to get back at their ex-partner for daring to leave them so using a child as revenge against another to get back at the ex and their new beau? Probable.
I think that's a little far fetched it's more likely the 8 year old did it out of rage/emotion and the mom helped her and coached her what to say and not to say in court..her mom doesn't care that this lady is going to prison for what her own daughter did because at least this way she doesn't lose 2 kids
I didn't think that she made her older daughter kill Anna, but it did come across my mind that there is a possibility she did feed her older daughter some negative feelings, and hated Emily, and now that her younger daughter is gone she decided to put all the blame on Emily... not sure if that is what happened, just a thought that flashed through my mind when I listened to the mother talk.
I never trust someone who talks in a baby voice like that!
Who talked in a baby voice
I wonder if emily requested to her attorney to do a lying detector test
WHY CANT THEY DO A LIE DETECTOR TEST JESUS
Can't y'all just take a lie detector test and get it over with?😤
Even that isnt always accurate
Feeling guilty doesnt make you guilty. Period...
Emily was like "I loved her, she was a sweet baby" but she killed her, shook her, and gave her so many bruises and a skull fracture. I'd put her in jail. I- that's horrible.
Edit: I didnt finish the video but it's what I think
I have family members that worked in law enforcement, LAPD, and they'd say, "She's a liar." She was jealous. Jealousy is something we all have, but some people weaponize it.
how does the lady get charged after she explained so much but the little girl said “i don’t remember” and “I don’t know” like WHAT
Step mom is innocent!!.she needs an appeal...they need to question more with the sister and have that so call expert do an oberservation with the sister too...I belive the sister did it...
I've watched all 4 parts. I personally believe Emily. I believe her because there's more proof pointing towards the 8 year old, but also because of my own experiences. I've got an 8 year old sister who's been throwing massive fits, breaking things, and harming me, our other sisters, and our parents since she was 5. Most people seem to like to ignore what children can do simply because they're often portrayed as innocent angels who can do no harm. It's mildly infuriating
You can also have memory loss from a tragic event such as this.
The specialist should have pointed that out.
