Why did he think it was ok to murder an innocent woman in cold blood just to get a car for his girlfriend? What kind of sick and twisted moral code was he raised on anyway?!
can someone explain to me why the tape was excluded at trial but not at sentencing? one would think if it can be used in one it should be able to be used in the other
This story was based on the case of Katherine Weinstein, a teacher who recorded the conversation with her killer using a micro cassette recorder hidden in her purse. The tape was played in court and her murderer - Michael LaSane - was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
The real life story is worse than the L/O version. The killer, who turned 17 after the teacher was killed, smothered her with her own coat bc he wanted to gift himself a car for his birthday. Absolutely despicable and selfish!
The sad part is there are people who really think like this. there are people so selfish that they would gladly beat or murder someone for even the smallest of prizes to themselves.
@AARPMiss Me aka MissMe stop repeating msm propaganda. none of the officers were killed at jan 6th. they commitied suicide because of their murder of peaceful protestors.
The world isn't fairy tales and rainbows unfortunately...I think she was appropriate age. Sadly, there are kids out here hearing and seeing worse stuff daily. 😔
"I'll settle for one execution. You take the stand against your boyfriend, I tear up this letter." Stone was always cold and cruel when necessary, my favorite prosecutor on Law and Order.
The one with the family of four slaughtered, including the little boy who hid in his closet and was slaughtered there is the one that gets to me most. No innocent adult deserves to die, but monsters that kill little kids, it’s just so far beyond my understanding. Do they give counseling to jurors who are on cases like that, shown crime scene photos like that? This one hurts too, as all he had to do was NOT kill her. If you are gonna steal her car, just steal it, why kill her? Why destroy her family forever? These episodes are such perfect mini movies, I wonder what the budget per episode was? It shows you can achieve perfection on just the tiniest fraction of what Hollywood movies cost.
easy enough when you have already thought about it. the world today isnt what it was back then. sorta why carjackings result in more deaths these days, people fight back now because they live in constant anxiety
Sometimes its good that the child knows she was always on her mother's mind. The mother thought of her loved ones till she died - not fear of pain - but for the love of her family.
So she doesn't want her baby to grow up without a father, but didn't care that the girl of her deceased mother is going to grow up without a mother. Typical self-entitlement woman
@@alt-monarchist it's not defending evil. It's not targeting those who care about their loves ones. Sometimes those love ones do horrible things. Justice needs to be served but don't let it go beyond the culprit.
I watched it play out in the beginning but to have to listen to it and watch what that poor lady said come to fruition!!! HE RUINED ALL THOSE PEOPLE'S LIVES FOR A VEHICLE!!!
I prefer these like they used to be posted (until couple weeks ago?) -- a single, consecutive chunk of the episode, rather than pieces taken from different parts. I'd prefer wondering, "What happens next?" than getting confused by the jump-cuts wondering, "What's going on?"
I always love it when parents/girlfriends etc say "hes not evil.." or "hes a good boy" if hes such a good boy/not evil why did he get arrested for it ???
So as I’m watching this clip, I see the #PeacockTV below the video, and thought, ‘Great they must have uploaded some more seasons’…but nope, still nothing. When will it happen? People would like to see the old school episodes too!
4:00 "My daughter spent all her savings on that car" Kinda fucked up that you need to spend over a years' full wages to buy something that will get you to work
@@girlgarde that means he would have first been up for parole in 2021. Given that Jack is inexplicably still the DA, I'm sure if he saw that Salva was about to appear in front of the board that he would have been right there at the hearing ready to press play. If hearing it 25 years later disturbs so many in the comment section, and with the original prosecutor turned Supeme DA there just to push the button on the tape player (if they would use an actual one instead of having a digital transfer or something), then I have no doubt Salva got the Ellis Boyd Redding treatment. See ya again in a few years, pal.
Clear audio tape stretching it a bit, very convenient to tie it all up. Time to bring back CRIMINAL INTENT starring Vince D. Nero Wolfe meets Orson Welles. He and Lenny top two in the L/O universe.
that was the defenses argument that the alterations made to the recording made it possible that the voice on the tables altered to sound like him. that's why I was excluded from evidence.
Why do they even bother with all this BS at a sentencing hearing? With it he'll be sentenced to life without parole. Without it he'll be sentenced to life without parole. So what's the point?
well you can't compare someone like a public defender to a state prosecutor, there are levels. The rich can afford a great lawyer that knows their job, the poor have to deal with what they can get. You might have the right to an attorney, but it doesn't say you have the right to a good one.
@@bananacathammock I know, but their only evidence identifying him was thrown out. Plus the gun was tossed because it was covered by atterney/client privilege.
If she had a calm mind, she'd have locked the doors when he got out of the car to get to the driver's side and drove like hell. She might have git shot at but She'd still have better chances of survival than just tryna convince the car jacker.
Having no constitutional right to bail while also having a protection against unreasonable bail seems to kind of contradict itself imo. Typical America though expanding government powers
It's that easy, eh? My son tells me he wants a LEGO play set, all I gotta do is murder the neighbor's kid and take his. I'm not a monster or evil, my kid wanted LEGOs 😊
I think I remember how this played out. Spoiler. Murder was okay but 1234 wasn't in the eyes of the women. Crazy values. Now I know why I didn't care to see West Side Story.
The actress playing the killer's mother is incredible. You can just see her heartbreaking as she hears the tape.

That recording was just upsetting.
No way she was behind the wheel and didn't run him over when he got out. You have to take your chances.
Easy to say that when NOT in the situation
easy enough when you have already thought about it. the world today isnt what it was back then. sorta why carjackings result in more deaths these days, people fight back now because they live in constant anxiety
She didn't have the killer instinct. It never crossed her mind to run him over. I would have.
What's he gonna do, kill her?
What a goofball. I can’t imagine someone killing for something I asked for and then defending them.
It's a PR thing. Machismo, and all that.
That little girl crying into her fathers should.....why would they play that with the children in the room??
It’s literally during trial. The father could’ve had his kids leave the room. Trials show all sorts of awful things so they can convict.
Cause it’s a tv show
Sometimes its good that the child knows she was always on her mother's mind. The mother thought of her loved ones till she died - not fear of pain - but for the love of her family.

You always plead not guilty at your arraignment. If you don’t have an attorney, the judge will automatically enter a not guilty plea *on your behalf*

2. Why did he picked a nice car
