A Wisconsin man stands trial for allegedly murdering and dismembering his parents without remorse, and providing false information on their disappearances. Chandler Michael Halderson, 23, faces charges including first-degree intentional homicide. Remains from his father Bart Halderson, 50, and mother Krista Halderson, 53, were found days apart, authorities said.
Defendant Halderson reported his parents missing July 7th, claiming they left their home in the Village of Windsor days before on the 1st. He told WISC-TV at the time that they were going to the village of White Lake, Wisconsin.
“My last message I got from them, they were going to White Lake for the Fourth of July,” he told “There are some festivities that go around there. Better drink prices at the bars. Stuff like that.”
He said that to his knowledge, they were then going to their cabin in Langlade County.
“Along the way, they could’ve stopped many places,” he said. “I wouldn’t know all of them.”
He was allegedly just feeding everyone lies.
Bart’s torso was found in rural Dane County, while remains from Krista were found in Sauk County and property run by the Department of Natural Resources, according to court documents obtained by The Wisconsin State Journal.
Their son had been searching Google for terms like “Body found Wisconsin,” “Woman’s body found in Wisconsin,” “Wisconsin dismembered body found,” and “Dead body found in Wisconsin,” authorities said. Investigators suggested Chandler Halderson used to a visit to property belonging to the partner of his girlfriend’s mother as cover to hide his father’s torso nearby. He had shot Bart Halderson at least once before dismembering him, officials said.
According to investigators, Halderson said after his arrest that “you don’t know the whole story,” and that he “didn’t feel bad about what I did.”

He was so desperate to keep his lies unknown he resorted to murdering his parents. But now has to sit through days of lawyers revealing and picking apart his lies. That’s comforting. Enjoy prison forever, Chandler.
He conned his parents for so long that he thought he was good at it. Hahahaha. He must’ve been shocked when his interrogators let him act out this pathetic charade for 105 minutes then said “you’re under arrest.”
I feel bad for his brother. This must have been quite the shock for him.
That was hands down the best prosecuting opening statement I have ever heard and I've heard a lot of them as a true crime enthusiast!!!! Hats off to the prosecution in this case and unbelievable job sir!!!!!
I agree. Beautifully constructed, well presented and absolutely riveting.
The defense wasn't at all compelling. Trying to convince the jury that he's innocent is a losing tactic. I liked the little red headed deputy. She did a great job testifying.
Agree. Best I've heard, as well.
agreed
Yes, it made me ill in other words POWERFUL stuff
@@christinareihill can u plz tell me if u can see my comments? I appreciate if if u do
It breaks my heart seeing the older brother trying to not see his brother nor get emotional, biting his lips to hold his tears. Chandler not only destroyed the family but also shattered his brother's heart. My condolences to him and the rest of the family.
The prosecutor's opening statement was A+. He didn't just lay out the facts.... he told a story in a way that was "edge of your seat" fascinating, yet respectful, eloquent, and he indirectly led the jury to believe that everything the defendant does and says is a lie. All the while, he was likable, humble, never patronizing, and demonstrated a total mastery of all the facts of the case. Just brilliantly laid out.
You said it so well. I hope you are some kind of a writer.. You've got a talent!
Except for the discrepancy in their timeline for the rags, missing person's report, and his statement/arrest.
@AmericanPsycho73…well said!
@Ryan his trial is just like his life: he's gonna lie til the wheels fall off. I think he's also enjoying reliving it through the evidence and testimony. He was intimate with his gf in front of the fireplace where he burned their remains
@@3_up_moon what??? That is crazy. I haven't watched all of the video, just getting started, did he really have a traumatic brain injury or was that just a lie
During opening statement from the prosecution I had to remind myself, that this really happened.
It was presented so fluently and well.
The judge is so relaxed and nice, still having control over the court room.
ok
And the coward pleaded not guilty. And is still lying
@@leahcasell1487 You're SO right. What a pathetic coward he is!
@@leahcasell1487 exactly a coward he is This guy is one freaken evil dude who does that to his own mom, dad !!!!!! Other then psycho pathetic people
@@leahcasell1487I don’t think he is capable of admitting the truth to anyone, even to himself, at this point.
This judge is so professional 👏. He speaks with such curiosity and is clear with what he expects from everyone but at the same time is aware of everyone's needs in the middle of a pandemic. We need more people like him he would make a great professor in teaching the future 👏
Sounds like he may have been a professor at 1 time in his life.
Judge's curl is adorable
@@wlkbeastmode-issiap.346yup yup I kept looking out for it
This prosecutor is on his game in every aspect…he’s thorough, professional, likeable, easy to understand and passionate without being emotional/unprofessional.
Sir, if you ever see these comments…you have chosen the right profession and I’m sure that the state of WI is better for it 👏
Absolutely agreed! I can't help but feel like he was so outstanding at his job because he also wanted to serve justice to Bart and Krista because of how despicable Chandler was/is.
I feel so sorry for the older son. He lost his parents then to know that his brother killed them.
Just like with Grant Amato. Both POS of the highest degree
Same here.
You bet. Hope the things that are going well for him continue to bolster him in this awful time. He seems like a nice guy.
On the brighter side he's a millionaire now.....just sayin
@@Reborn_Enthusist Wonder what it would be like to receive money from the murder of your parents. I'd probably want to give some of it away to a worthy cause.
The judge has an actors voice and the prosectors open statement was incredible! Great group of professionals here.
I KNEW I wasn’t the only one that noticed that about the judge! His voice is so whimsical! 💙
Right? He should narrate books.
The only one who dropped the ball was the defense, but what did they have to work with ?, squat, The whole defense was that he did it, but do we really know how they died? they said that first degree murder wasn't proven by the prosecution, i would say that when you chop a person up and then burn them, that moves into first degree murder.
@@snickerinmuttley1204 I don't blame the defense, Chandler gave them nothing to work with.
The opening statement from the prosecution was well done
Ya that had me going from he allegedly killed his parents to he killed his parents, and his defense even sounds like they have given up all hope on the kid. Sad stuff.
He really had my uninterrupted attention. He delivered the intro perfectly 👌🏽👏🏽😱
@@DzNutz503 yeah I just listened intensively to all the twists and turns lol 😂 better than any acting 🎭 lol
EXCEPTIONAL
Was amazing! Had my undivided attention & sold completely. There surely is no doubt already in anyone's mind's
I wonder if the prosecutor reads any of these comments and knows how impressed the majority of us are with his opening statement. One of the best I’ve heard in a long while.
@pm… doubt it, they’re just too busy on the other side of RUclips ..”reality”… to be thinking of what we are writing on here. I have a friend criminal lawyer and some of the hours she puts in a 24 hour period at times are 18… never enough time to be stalking around on YT looking at comments… but then again, anything is possible!😃
Maybe a family member or a friend is reading the comments and telling the prosecutor how much he is admired and getting A+
Not likely
Agreed, it was rock-solid.
Yeah not like he’s got anything better to do right genius 👍
I'm sorry but the Prosecutor's opening statement was freaking brilliant. Plainly stated, respectful, intelligent, logical and gripping, what else is there to say? He laid his case out for the jury like he was spreading butter on hot toast, smooth and even and perfect🔥Just wow!
I’ve never seen someone give that long of an opening statement without notes to follow off of. Amazing!
I know this is a late reply to your comment, but check out Prosecutor Juan Martinez in the Jodi Arias trial! His closing, without notes, was like 4 hrs! He’s awesome too!!
@@KL92105 thanks for the recommendation!! I’m always looking for new trials to watch (and surprisingly I have not watched hers lol)
@@Alina-ci3fb hands down the BEST trial EVER. She was a monster, Martinez the prosecutor tore her a new arse. She murdered her boyfriend, stabbed him 70ish times if l remember right, she slit his throat ear to ear and almost decapitated him, then dragged him into the shower and shot him in the head for good measure. She anonymously drove across America, died her hair, stagged a robbery and stole a gun. BEST TRIAL EVER!
You'll be screaming into your phone
@@Alina-ci3fb oh......and she testified 😉
Check out Mike Satz, lead prosecutor in the Parkland shooter case give his opening statement. He was brilliant too. He's 80 and managed to chronologically describe everything that happened, names, times, dates, wounds, every detail without reading from notes. He was very impressive.
What a decent judge. Shows that decency is still alive and well. Thank heavens!!!
Just a great prosecutor.Following this from Belgium Europ
@@lothairelauwagie8758 absolutely lorhaire, he spoke nicely, explained it very well . Have a great day. Love from South Africa. 🇿🇦🇿🇦😘
@@lorrainevanlelyveld8065 Hello thanks for answering me.Lorraine van Lelyveld sounds like a Dutch name ;-))) My best greetings from Belgium X
@@lorrainevanlelyveld8065 Howzit! Hoe gaan dit me jou? 😉 I just started watching today. I hadn't heard of this case, until today. These Wisconites are super nice nê? Goeie genade, and its so refreshing.
@@lothairelauwagie8758 Hi there Lothaire. You're pretty spot on. One of the official languages of South Africa, Afrikaans, was derived from Dutch, when the Dutch settlers arrived in and settled in the Cape, SA. So those who are Afrikaans or fluent in Afrikaans, in my experience, can pretty much understand Dutch 😊 that's not to say they can respond in Dutch, but the languages are very very similar.
Her employer sharing the days off she requested is heart breaking. She was planning and living her life and her own child takes her life!! Lord have mercy!
I normally get a little bored with opening statements but this one held my attention to the very end! That was excellent!!!
The prosecutor had so much material to work with. Though, he did weave the narrative beautifully.
@@ek2137 absolutely!
Ya his lawyers statement afterward made me fall asleep, literally 😂
@@allieleblanc2421 I tried to play Gwyneth Paltrow trial to lightheart myself a little... and everyone was obnoxiously uprepared and boring. That was a fail of a show.
The opening statement from the prosecutor was phenomenal. That should be the standard and taught in law school.
That should be taught in speech classes and creative writing classes too. A masterclass in effective communication.
He's a DA. They're always the best.
Also, I just wanna add, I've watched a few trials, and love true crime documentaries, how nice is this judge way in the beginning. No arrogance, down to earth, yet still owns the room.
I don’t understand how ppl can do this to their own parents .. meanwhile I sit here wishing I could give everything to have my dad back. Smh sick & sad
Oh Dawn! I hear you. I adored my Dad so very much. Sending love x
My dad too. He passed away 10 years ago and I would love to have him back. 😥
Would give up _anything_ just to hear my mothers' voice again.
😭😭😭
Same. What a selfish individual 😞
My dad passed almost 21yrs ago and my mama passed 7 months ago, I wish I still had them every single day. I couldn't imagine causing harm to them.
So sad for Mitchell Halderson. It appears he has lost his entire immediate family, I pray he and his fiancé make it to the altar and live in peace and harmony for the rest of their lives. May God bless and keep you safe and contented because you have been through so much already in your young life. So sorry for the loss of your parents.
I cannot imagine what Mitchell is going through. No one should have to face this. He will always be in my prayers
I know! So terrible!!
He seems like another Grant Amato. I just finished watching his trial on this channel.
Well I'm sure he will be ok got he's fiancee and got all the property insurance everything it sad to me that he's younger brother did this for just lying about school he jobs really I'm sure he's parents would be mad but dame to kill for that he sick he's gf getting sick when she found out her in-law was cut into pieces and burned she got sick and those are he's parents and he's like cold to that guilty someone commented he's gf was involved I doubt the way she was sick
Terrible! No amount of money will get his parents back but he will have a big nest egg now thank you to his parents will.
Breaks my heart he didn't realize how lucky he was having two parents that loved him now he has nothing but a cold cell hope that was worth it Chandler smh
And cold cell mates, cold food. Cold world.
My heart breaks for the brother 😢
Agreed!
An he won't have his mom, dad and brother there on his wedding day 😢
@@heidifuchs2820 .. you could see the devastation in the close friends/family today with the mom and twin sisters. Absolutely horrible
And the girlfriend, is she daft?
She saw no psychotic behavior, WOW!!
@@heidifuchs2820 what wedding?
He's going to prison forever.
I see a lot of comments bashing the defense attorneys. Remember one thing, they have an obligation to put up a defense, no matter how weak or how strong it is for their client, even though that defendant is guilty as sin. That is all, carry on.
Those bashing the defense attorneys wouldn't do so if it was them in the defendant's seat. Defense attorneys are needed to help the accused, guilty or innocent.
I'd love to think the psychopath at least felt embarrassed when the prosecutor was telling everything he made up about the fake life he told he had
He's most likely dissociating through the proceedings. Psychopaths don't feel embarrassment.
@@jannamwatson something similar to being ridiculized then because it is about them, their ego is getting attacked and the lies exposed.
I was kinda hoping for a freakout. But I'm holding out hope that he's gonna lose it when convicted. If his own attorney is implying that he did all the dismemberment and discarding of remains, then it isn't looking good for him.
Don’t think so there is no embarrassments in psychopath
I thought about that too.....but u know he probably has no shame😒
Excellent prosecution opening. Smart to explain the need for evidentiary photos & that they're limited.
I’m stunned speechless by this brilliant opening statement. How I wish I could glimpse into the future to see his career path. Absolutely brilliant…
Chandler is NOT A KID, he is a 23 year old man.
@Bord, THANK YOU!!!
I feel so bad for the older son, can't imagine what it feels like to have your parents murdered by your only sibling
The prosecution hit the ground running. The defense seemed very vague and padded. I've already decided he's guilty without seeing a shred of evidence which is another reason why I should never ever be allowed to be a juror. ;)
Me too ! That opening statement was really impressive
The best opening statement I’ve ever heard ! Honestly, I could listen to that guy all day.
The defense not even standing to ask questions is so disrespectful
Well if they can back up everything they've said with evidence...dude is guilty
For the life of me,I don't know why there's a trial.
Who else could've done it??
Could you imagine him getting off?
The Best opening statement I have seen! And I've seen a lot! I really enjoy listening to a lawyer who knows their case, and can tell you it without reading notes. This Prosecutor had me fully engaged within the first 5 minutes. Hands down, The Best💯
The problem with his defense attorney is that she’s trying to confuse the jury into thinking they have to be convinced beyond ANY doubt and it’s beyond REASONABLE doubt. Chandler most definitely killed his parents.. and the way she’s making out to the jury is that they would have had to see the murder themselves in order to know it happened and to convict him 😂
I’m like omg this lady has got to be the worst defense ever 😂
She knows she has zero defense and you can tell by her opening and by her line of questioning. She’s grasping.
I'll say it again, the woman was given precious little to work with. Somehow, I doubt that you could have done better.
Taking a page from Darryl Brooks... "who is 'the you' you referred to?" Or "how do you know who 'you' is since you didn't know at that time?"
What I was thinking. Like what about circumstantial evidence here?
@@Gurl-5150 idgaf how many times u “say it” lmfao!! u don’t know me and I wouldn’t want to represent him anyways so say it all u want somewhere else … she don’t even know how to pronounce his name!! And lying to the jury doesn’t have anything to do with how “precious little” she has to work with 🙄
The prosecutor knocked the opening statement out of the park!!! Well done.
He is actually one of the worst prosecutors I’ve ever seen
@@noduh629 That’s crazy that you think that. He didn’t even refer to notes. Explained very well in a story telling way that kept my interest. And I’ve watched hundreds of court cases.
@@noduh629 how can u say that?
@@LaPlaztique the dude ate his parents… easiest case ever. The dude sucks
@@noduh629
Ha! 😂
That sounds like bitterness to me. Jealousy, maybe. But definitely bitterness. He’s a Deputy District Atty - I assure you, he didn’t rise to that role by being “one of the worst”. 😂🤦🏻♀️
I’m obsessed with his opening statement!!!
He sounds like grandpa reading me a bedtime story with his soothing voice. 😊
This opening statement was top tier I was following every word. He presented a story and did a superb job. I hope he was praised outside of the YT comment section.
The prosecutor is the best I’ve ever heard. You could tell his story telling drew people in, and everyone was paying careful attention. Even the judge threw his head towards the board because he knew evidence was going to show up there. If I were ever a lawyer, I would do ANYTHING to be like Mr. Brown.
ok ms brown
This opening statement was the best story-telling I’ve ever heard!! I was locked in. Transfixed! No notes. Just talking. He has a gift!
Was like watching a movie in your head
This attorney did a fantastic job with this opening statement. I just ran across this case out here on RUclips and found it unbelievable that someone could do this to their own parents. This was horrible and all to cover up lies he told his parents. Crazy!
That was the worst opening I've ever heard from a Defense attorney. Must be Public Defender's? The kid is cooked.
He is not a kid - he is a 23 year old man - well more like a 23 year pos - and he deserves the death penalty
@@csantama word!!
They are aiming for the “I got a bad attorney” defense and who could argue that? I couldn’t. She sucks. At least ACT like a defense attorney
The “kid” is cooked because he did it. Not from the lack of representation.
Johnny Cochran couldn’t get this killer off.
Best opening statement I've ever heard
That was a opening statement and a final argument all in one case closed lol
For real 😳 the best 👌🏽
@@DzNutz503 👍🏽👏🏽
then you should check out the prosecutor on the dylan groves case or imani moss, those women brought me to tears
👍🏽it was so good that if I were a juror, I would render my verdict today! That was perfect
This was the most compelling trial I’ve seen. Perhaps not the worst imaginable crime ever committed, but the whole case was riveting. The police interrogation, the professionalism of the lead prosecutor, the most polite, charming, and respectful judge I’ve ever witnessed anywhere, and a just verdict and sentence. The greatest sadness was watching Halderson breathing, knowing that he took the lives of the very people who gave him life. If not for Bart and Krista, he would never have existed. So terribly sad, but impossible to stop watching. I hope Mitch has a great deal of support.
i dont know like, killing your parents that spent 23 years coddling you, over a trivial mountain of lies that you made up is incredibly malicious.
the judge in the todd kendhammer case was really excellent, too!
Did you watch the Darrell Brooks trial?! Amazing Judge against a defiant self represented clown.
The Jodi Arias trial was the most riveting- check that out
A colostomy bag?!? Wow! That is some concussion he suffered!! He really went for it.😂🤦🏻♀️
The defense's opening statement said absolutely nothing about the case whatsoever. It was almost like watching a Saturday Night Live skit. To be fair she's got to defend the most guilty person who has ever lived.
Thank you! I was so baffled by her opening statement that I had to pause and see if I was missing something. Its like she knew sha had no defense but had to give an opening statement, so she figured she would just stand up and word salad her way through it.
Open and shut case. There's so much evidence against Chandler and the opening by the prosecutor said it all. This trial could of took an hour and the jury could of came back guilty. Save alot of time.
It's the unfortunate truth that everyone deserves a fair trial, even twisted fools like Chandler.
I couldn't help but laugh when the defense said every little lie is blown up. Little lies?! Really?! I'd hate to find out what she considers big lies. 🤦♀️ The prosecutor did amazing though...
Right!!
I know I just don't understand how she stated that Chandler didn't kill his parents, and don't believe the lies. Who did it then? Aliens from outer space?
@@kara-mariemegella2618I laughed out loud when she said that as the first statement. It reminded me of something a child would do.
That is one of the cutest judges!! Bow tie!!! And he seems very easy going.
1:14:50
2:40:42
That “K,i can :) “ with the smiley face that his mom texted, was really heart breaking... 😢😔😔
How could he?!!
Utmost respect for Mr.William Brown, the Prosecutor ! Spot On 👍 Opening Statements!
Utmost.
msbrightside ✨Thank You!
msbrightside ✨Thank You!
You know it must be a whole lot of work to get rid of two adult bodies... Getting a job would have been a lot easier, even in today's market...
I just want to be half as chill and pleasant as this judge. Also prosecutor is a badass and I hope he reads these and knows it. That opening statement was amazing, top tier, almost like a movie script without sounding scripted.
I watch/listen to a lot of trials and I think this is my favorite judge yet👍🏼☺️
He's cut from the same cloth as Judge Wolfe.
Judge Wolfe is amazing!! I love her!!
People in smaller areas of Wisconsin are almost always like this judge. I had to spend 2+ years in a courtroom off and on as the victim in a case and I was impressed at how nice everyone was.
The defense attorney even apologized to me afterwards. He didn't say it, but you could tell he felt bad for defending her and getting her such a good deal.
I agree JennyB!
Does anyone know this Judge's name?
Rolling my eyes as the defense labels their 23 yr old client as a “kid”. Nice try with the infantilizing of a grown man🙄
What a total horrible person not to plead guilty with all the evidence of deception and lies. Defendant is without any remorse, a tell tell sign of a sosiopath. Btw, agree prosecuters done a good job!
Why would the defendant have any remorse? What he has done to his parents were intentional..
He’s gotten away with everything his entire life. He thinks this is no different.
LOL dude had his gf tracking his GPS location and she screenshotted him at the site of the remains. Whoops
😅💯
Yup … our Chaz is a few fries short of a happy meal😆
Wow, prosecution’s opening statement was impressive. He should start a RUclips channel and just tell stories. He has an amazing storyteller skill. Also, ouch to the defense and their opener. Yikes.
Wow, that state district attorney did an absolute phenomenal job with his opening statement! I watch so many of these and consider myself quite the True Crime junkie, but I will say this man had me listening so intently and basically on the edge of my seat for what he would say (& show) us next; and that's just with the opening statement!! Obviously it's not evidence, however, it seems like he's going to be a tenacious and fabulous prosecutor. Now, for the defense attorney ..... Oh boy. I'm just wondering if she would like some ranch dressing for that word salad she calls an opening statement?! Yikes!
@Lindsay Burns… you had me laughing come defence comment about the ranch dressing!
@@JojoplusBo 😁
right? That defense was terrible. Especially considering how good the prosecution was. Is she the standard free defense lawyer or was she actually hired? If it's the latter dude didn't get his money's worth (thankfully) but if it's the former I almost feel bad for her. I don't understand why anyone would ever want to be a district defense attorney like that, they can't pick their cases they just have to defend whoever they're assigned to, even if they know full well how guilty they are. I can't imagine a worse situation to be in, trying to successfully defend someone you don't actually want to defend. It sounds like a hellish job to me, and they're not even paid well compared to lawfirm attorneys who make shitloads. Another of those jobs that I just don't understand how there exists people willing to do.
No wonder he got the bigger table heh....well deserved
To her credit, she knows her client doesn't have any case to present and is probably nervous about that.
Just finished the darrell brooks trial and it's crazy how different things go when both sides have attorneys and the defendant isn't objecting every single minute
I binged the Darrell Brooks trial before this one too! He made an absolute circus of that trial and had no idea that everyone saw him as the clown. Trials truly do go down so much differently when both sides are represented by counsel instead of childish arguments being thrown around by the defendant.
Smart man to document Chandler's license with the serial number of the gun. Great opening statement from the prosecutor.
My heart breaks for Mitchell-at least his parents had wonderful friends & family to give this young man and fiancée - a lot of love & support!🙏🏻
I do not know how Mitchell had no emotions knowing what is evil brother did
@@leahcasell1487 he's probably still in shock or is disassociating in order to keep it together
I can’t believe he burned his parents head in the fireplace in July as if none of the neighbors are going to notice…
The judge has a beautiful voice.
Yes. So soothing
He should be a narrator on documentaries
he reminds me of a famous actor's voice but can't think of who.
Informed well presented opening statement. Amazing judge. What a sad set of circumstances. It would break your heart. So many lives shattered for what. RIP Bart and Krista
I love this judge. He seems so fair and humble. I wish all were like him.
And his hair is cool
Been watching the Ohio murder court.
That judge doesn't pay attention and I believe he's for the defense
It's wonderful to finally see a great judge
He's just the best ❤
“Chander”? If my own attorney couldn’t even say my name correctly, hmm…
“Just a kid”? No ma’am. He’s 22/23 years old. That isn’t a kid. 🤦🏼♀️
Defense attorney went to law school in 1991 and it sounds like it took her 31 years to get to argue her first case. She needs to switch her specialty from criminal defense to probate.
Lol 😆 🤣 😂
The judge has a great voice!
He does
He sounds like my neighbor.
He could narrate books for kids and help them be comforted! He’s amazing
He's a snappy dresser too with his bow tie! 🙂
@@jojozep7820 omg I was thinking the exact same thing while he was talking! XD
This judge sounds like he could do the voiceovers for movies, audiobooks, and stories to children. His voice just sounds so whimsical.
My goodness! Listening to the horrific disposal of his parents is so sad.
I know queen it made me ill ....like I might be 🤢🤮
@@charliechurch5004 Same, super sick. There was no reason for what he did to them beautiful, kind hearted, very loving parents. Just cold blooded, not as calculated as he thought and to sit up in that chair wasting everyone's time with claiming to be not guilty is mind blowing.
@@qiaray1123 for sure!! Sick stuff. And the older brother on the stand ripped my heart out😞 also thank u for responding, I can't see my own comments..... weird RUclips lol
@@charliechurch5004 Your very welcome, I can see them.
@@qiaray1123 ❤️😘 ur a peach my dear!!❤️❤️❤️
The opening from the defense is outrageously obvious, that the guy is guilty and they do not know what to do. Telling jurors not to be "influenced" by seeing the evidence that turned up everywhere this guy hung around. Ridiculous. She could have said the guy is nuts. He was a lazy guy that rode the wave until there was no wave left and he got found out. sick.
She just repeated the jury instructions pretty much...🙄
He can use this as he didn’t get a fair trail because I would agree. Just based on her statements alone not with hearing the prosecution I would say he’s guilty JUST from her opening statements
Yea. That was a ridiculous thing to say
If she'd said what you said she should, she'd have been failing in her duty as his DEFENSE lawyer. What a ridiculous comment.
Such a great opening statement. Bravo to the prosecutor on this case. On another note, Man when Mitchell came out and they brought that photo of his parents out my heart broke for him. He could not look away :(
That’s the most articulate opening statement I have EVER heard. BRAVO!!
That opening statement for prosecution was brilliantly fantastic! Loved it.
The female officer chewing gum is so incredibly unprofessional.
Never a good look
Not as bad as what the defendant's been charged with, but it looks unprofessional. I wonder if her supervisor heard about it.
It's driving me nuts! And very unprofessional.
Girlfriend was workin that gum, wasn't she?! You could hear her chewing over the microphone. Gross.
It really bothered me. I was yelling at her as if she could hear me.
The prosecution’s opening statement was all said without notes in his hands. Impressive to me.
Best opening statement I've ever heard 👏
Agreed
Exactly! But such a devastatingly sad case.
This judge is nothing short of delightful and the prosecutor is very articulate and respectful. Why can't every trial be like this? This is my second binge watch of the Halderson trial simply because every moment is captivating ( except for the lack of participation by the defense).
ABSOLUTE W O R S T defense opening statement E V E R !!!
Im glad its not just me 😂
I came here for this!! I was like, "I KNOW I'm not the only one!!". Jeeeeezus. Sit down already! It's painful to watch 😆
@@bobdanger-palmer4430 I've been reading through the comments to see if I was the only one thinking this. Did she really suggest that it was an accident these poor people accidentally burned themselves in their fireplace?!
Her opening was pitiful, nonsensical and whiny. It will be interesting to see how the defense spins the evidence.
I don’t think inmate CH gave them much to work with…. They certainly weren’t great by any means, but where the heck do you even start with a defense when your client is just a downright narcissistic liar and there is soooooo much evidence pointing to the fact that he did it? They had a hard job for sure.

@jannam Add sec. please
They all go to the first minutes
5:18:00 William A Hendrickson (detective)
@Karen Saletrik no, so you can use it 🥴😂
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Wow!!! After that opening... case closed! The prosecutor was brilliant 👏
I like this judge, he's adorable in his bow tie and he's so nice
Impessed by the prosecutors opening statement. It felt humane, honest, informative, and convincing.
The way the procecutor presented it, this is very similar to the Jenifer Pan case. Also I'm struck with emotion in that moment when Mitchell has to pick out his brother in the courtroom. Imagine the feelings when he looks into his brother's eyes. Unimaginable.
After the prosecution's opening statement, they could just wrap the case up. He's so obviously guilty. Excellent judge.
Honestly, the female detective is chewing gum?? Not good imo
she is only a deputy
I agree. Looks really bad for a professional to come to court smacking on a snack of any kind.
It's unprofessional and it's all I can focus on.
It made me yell at my TV, hoping she could hear it lol.
@@PatriotGamesROCKS so what
William Brown thank u for being an excellent prosecutor & being for the victims! U r awesome!
I would have called the cops if I were the work colleague who went to check in on the deceased who hadn't shown up at work to then be told by the deceased son at the home "there is blood everywhere".
But..he knew the kid, had hung out with him and the parents many times and he was behaving normally…idk…
This poor brother! You can see he wants to go at his “brother”
I don’t think so. Chandler would of killed him if he was staying at the house and Mitchell knows that. Chandler gave Mitchell a bullet like a “hurry and get well cause this is waiting for you” type of thing
@@honestyisthebestpolicy8566 .. I’m saying currently, in the court room
2:00 in & I’m in awe of this judge! The last few trials I’ve watched, the judges were terrible. It’s refreshing to see & hear a judge that’s understanding, yet still in control. I’ve seen a ton of comments about the opening statement - I haven’t made it yet, but I’ll be back! Lol. I just had to applaud this judge!!
Opening statement was phenomenal! Chandler is guilty. Crazy to think of the fake life he led.
Reminds me of the case of Mark Hacker years ago who led a fake life having everyone believe he was in med school then killed his wife, Lori when she realized it wasn’t true. It was a horribly sad story too.
But it's not evidence, it's just an opening statement. The defense could prove something totally different. That's why you would never make it onto a jury pool. lol
@@TheOneanjel What makes you so sure you'd make it onto a jury pool?
@@TheOneanjel I wasn't asking for your opinion. Thank you. Carry along.
Who'd WANT to be on jury duty, lol. I do everything I can to get out of it!
Could you imagine having to follow up after the prosecutors opening statement, how embarrassing that this has to go to trial
That poor older brother. He seems like a genuine dude who is an all around good person. Engaged, has a career, lives on his own. His little brother is the complete opposite 🤦🏼♂️
Oooo, I think I like this Judge...👌
He's weird.
@@PatriotGamesROCKS lol 😂
I like the reporter lol
This opening statement should be more known!!! This is so intriguing I don’t want to stop listening. Amazing
Yes now I’m tuned it. He put u right in place of the murder
Omg! I thought it was a joke that Mitchell received a bullet with “get well soon” on it! Who does that.. like was this supposed to have another meaning?! Also the best opening argument I’ve ever seen.
He didn't think he was gonna get caught
His arrogance did him in, which I don't have a problem with.
DANG....if this guy spent even half the energy to be a decent student, employee and human being that he spent lying, cheating and being a criminal.... he could have really been in MIT and been successful.
Even that lady has a hard time defending him cause she doesnt believe her self that hes not guilty😂😂 keeps tripping on her words lmao
She’s not a strong lawyer by any means …
Gotta feel for her. She. Has to pretend to defend him
@@tattooedjo4672 She shouldn't be a criminal defense lawyer. Maybe civil or real estate.
She has very little to work with. 🤷♀️
@@tattooedjo4672 She has no case.
I absolutely love this judge! He has such a nice calming voice!
C'mon everyone knows "subject matter jurisdiction"!!! It's the magic "Get out of Jail Free Card". Incompetent defense attorneys. 🙄
Yaaaas this😂😂😂
all this work and energy devoted to cultivating and upkeeping this web of lies... Jeez it's easier to have a job!
The investigators have really done their jobs here. I can't believe all the ends they sorted out in such a short amount of time! The fake e-mails, the fake jobs, fake medical stuff all keeping his parents busy thinking their kid was on the up and up.
He could of used those talents for good instead of evil
@@ParahSalin Yes. I never seen such effort to protect lies. Eventually, a person concedes and says "I messed up and I'm sorry". Not this monster!
Mmm. A 23yo is *not* "a kid". Someone needs to let the defense know.
@JW, THANK YOU!!!
