They didn't create any courtroom theatrics. They had to fight the case because Chandler pleaded not guilty. But they didn't resort to the usual nonsense some defense attorneys use
The amount of times he attempted to cut and failed, had to change tools and started cutting again really shows the amount of time he spent on dismemberment. How anyone could do that is just insane but to do it to your own parents is mind blowing.
It is absolutely mind blowing he did this to his parents over the simple reason he got caught lying about having a job and going to school. Yes his parents may have been extremely upset with him but I’m sure it was nothing that they couldn’t get past and get him back on the right track in life, but he simply couldn’t handle that exposure of his lies to his mother and girlfriend and possibly a motivation for money in life insurance policies. He’s too much of a psychopath to handle his issues in a reasonable manner and decided murdering and dismembering his parents was the best solution, and to think he could get away with it 🤷♂️ shows how highly he thinks of himself and his intelligence.

The fact that most of the people in these comments are more worried about her use of the word right and not on the subject matter she is speaking about which is that of two deceased persons bones is astonishing.
@Amanda Harrell I've had to stop reading most of the comments. There are so many immature and, frankly, ignorant people watching live court cases. I just hope they never sit on a jury. Their lack of empathy is alarming.
Thank you so much Amanda that was exactly what I was thinking… so many people are used to speaking small talks so it’s hard to listen to her obviously and they are fixated in the word “right” instead of focusing on learning from her. I am a grad student as a matter of fact my first class starts today.. I am learning to be enthusiastic as her and energetic as her and well educated as her… that is what I got from this testimony to be honest.
I am a retired firefighter/paramedic and a registered nurse (RN) which I am still a nurse and have 5 college degrees....I could listen to Dr. Soto for days teaching me her profession! She is incredible and knows her profession frontwards, backwards, sideways, and top to bottom! Her saying right is her way of mentally confirming acknowledgment of the information to the jury! It doesn't bother me at all because it is just another way of exuding her excitement of what she does for a living!!! Love her!!! Great job Dr. Soto!!!
@@brendalambert9916 Wow! Did you really write that? The lady was there to give her professional analysis of the evidence she had to work with, she showed true professionalism throughout her testimony, her job wasn't to sit there and cry about the severity of the crimes and to express her sorrow and sympathy for the victims, and for you to suggest she was disrespectful is wrong and disrespectful in itself.
"So you couldn't determine if these bones came from one human or 6 different humans right?" Is the defense suggesting that Chandler may be a serial killer..?
This is an insane amount of work for a crime scene. I am watching the part about the ash trap, and it strikes me how many hundreds of hours of painstaking labor just this woman put into getting Bart and Krista justice. I wonder if the killer is sitting there and thinking “I had no idea there were people who could sift through an ashtrap all day.” I am also wondering how someone chooses this as a profession. What makes a human want to study death, saws, bones, and how much death has had to occur to get the sciences where they are today. Then, there’s an ungrateful son. I’ve been watching this case, and I was looking at my 7 year old son today, wondering how a kid could grow up to shoot his mom, saw up her body, and throw her head and hands in a fire. It boggles the mind.
Well said 💯 the hard work everyone did for the victims is amazing. And should be an example to how it always should be done. It's very hard to understand how a son who had such caring & attentive parents could go through with such a horrible thing. For solely selfish reasons. Every parents nightmare for sure.
I can’t imagine a child cutting up and placing his parents heads in the family fireplace. Chandler is definitely a disturbed individual! The ignorant questions from the defense seems to help the prosecution more so than not
Did the defense attorney think she was making her client look better when she asked, "You couldn't tell if these bones were from one human or SIX humans, correct?" Good grief! Was she implying that perhaps her boy had killed SIX people and burned them in the fireplace or was she trying to insinuate that Krista and Bart had spent long cold Wisconsin evenings burning people in their fireplace? She needs to remember that the majority of these fragments were taken from the TOP layer of ash and that would have been attributable to dear old Chandler! This guy needs to NEVER see the outside of a prison again.
The Dane County District Attorney, William Brown is one of the most gifted orators I’ve ever heard. This county has invested and hired wisely with their competent police force, to whom, they’ve given opportunity for further education, become more specialized and made it possible for the men and women to all shine with their thorough, thoughtful and caring way they have handled themselves throughout the investigation and trial phases. The experts DA Brown has brought on this case are world class experts. They’ve all been well credentialed and impressive.
So looks like he tried to burn all he could fit a few pieces at a time but working around his girlfriend coming and going and as Monday approached he was running out of time because his mom would not report to work people were going to start questioning her whereabouts. I think that’s why he opted to dump the rest.
His attempt at burning 🔥 did not go as well( keeping high heat), was much more complicated (work) than he expected and messy/ smelly. Hence, I believe he then started dumping parts.
I really wish the cameras would pan to Chandler during these horrific testimony. Is he enjoying his handiwork and reliving the experience all over again, like most murderous psychopaths? How was he able to do all this, he's a skinny scrawny thing with slender medium sized hands, and was still able to appear normal to those he came in contact with??
I wish the cameras would pan over to Chandler more during the meat & potatoes of this trial, too!! U can't help but wonder, "What is this psycho THINKING," as they lay out all this gruesome evidence. Smh Hopefully, the jury will conclude with a GUILTY verdict, when it's all said & done.
I want to see the testimony and chandler at the same time, as well as the evidence they put on the screens. Like a split screen. We know they can do it. We just need to encourage that I guess
You can tell that she has been in many courtrooms explaining exactly what it is that she does. She is extremely articulate and enthusiastic which makes her very easy to listen to and actually learn what she is saying. You can tell who is in courtrooms often or not by who they direct their speech at. She speaks directly to the jury which only a few of the speakers did. Most speak directly to the DA. She knows exactly who her information needs to be relayed to & it’s not the state.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW OLD HE WAS WHEN HE STARTED LYING...AND WAS GETTING AWAY WITH HIS BIG LIES....IF WE FIND OUT , IT WILL BE A VERY GOOD LESSON FOR PARENTS...SO NOTHING LIKE THIS WILL NOT EVER HAPPEN TO THEM IN THE FUTURE.
LOVE this woman, very smart and fantastic at explaining things and you can tell by the way she explains, that she loves her job and enjoys learning this process. Very good witness 👏🏾👏🏾
@@Eyerusalem_ Undoubtedly true - it's just the subject matter she is so expert in is such a gruesome one, and her delivery is so disconcertedly cheerful and efficient.
Dr. Soto’s testimony and research is very important in order to tell the story of the trauma to skeletal remains. This helps build a case. There is not much wiggle room to get away with murder. For those who want to understand what osteoarcheology can achieve, consider watching the identification of King Richard III of England from 1485. The whole research team was able to identify King Richard III through archeology, osteoarcheology, DNA, anthropology, terrain analysis and weapons. Some of the same team members study the battle of Towton combatants from the archeological/historical sites in England. It may not seem important to identify 600 year old humans, but some of these researchers work on current murder/homicide cases. If any of these persons are your family members, it becomes very important to identify the remains and secure justice for the victims.

@@You.Tube.Sucks. Thanks, I didn’t write a protracted comment as everyone had already said what I felt. I was devastated for his family and thought he was far too laid back listening to these horrific findings, have a great day Liz
The defense, in this case, is unbelievably inept but I can't help but think that this may be used as some sort of anchor for an appeal later down the line. Barely 2 minutes of cross in over two hours of highly detailed testimony is staggering. I can only speculate that the defense's case rests on some scenario where Chandler either discovered his parent's murder or was somehow caught up in attempting to protect his mother & ended up killing his father. He then panicked and disposed of them. Of course, this is absurd. I've watched many trials & rarely have I reached a conclusion of guilt as quickly as in this instance. The evidence is overwhelming & I'm struggling with how it ever came to court. Chandlers' incompetence & sheer laziness in attempting to cover his tracks beggars belief.
They said in their opening that they will likely get up and say he is guilty of some but not all. I’m guessing they’re going for it wasn’t premeditated, but it happened. Hoping to lessen the sentence?
He had said he heard his parents fighting..he assumed it was about the broken glass... Could say mom shot dad then herself... If his lawyer says that it will be so nauseating!!!
i think they're pointedly avoiding digging a hole and falling into it. bottom line nobody actually saw or recorded *him* in the act of killing them, so they can try for doubt.
@@June-tb4vi The mother shot the father dead, and then herself, after which she dismembered them both and scattered them in the countryside. Makes sense to me (not).
I’m amazed how evidence in a crime are found out today. The human mind is more depraved as we grow as a society so, the learning has to grow. I’m amazed that people do this stuff (anthropology) for a living. I always just thought of anthropology as the study of the cave man…Lolol. I will never understand how people commit crimes in this day and age with all the “ways” they can be found out.
Let us hope that the intensely scientific terminology, knowledge & technology creates distance for her and helps shield her from the gutwrenching reality of her study. That AND the knowledge that she's putting the monster away.
Even though she's smart and educated maybe she still felt nervous and that's why she said right a lot. I think that the jury will find her testimony very damning for Chandler.
you would think that if someone like chandler were truly innocent, having to sit through all this testimony (including extremely graphic images) about his own parents’ dismembered body parts would be unbearable for him. but the way he sits there, seemingly unfazed and bored, doodling on postit notes, really says a lot.
Even though what little the Defense said was maddening and ridiculous, I actually felt sorry for them. The evidence was so overwhelming. They had nothing to work with.
For all her brilliance, some commenters here could only focus on her "right"? Were you even listening to the rest of what she said about the bodies in so many details??
We did. It's possible to listen to it. Be completely fascinated by her presentation, in awe of her brilliance and passion and also wish she wouldn't use the word "right" so much.
Amazing that Dane County hired such an educated and talented forensic anthropologist. My county has a similar population; I wonder if we have such a qualified person?
It would depend on the amount of money prosecution or defense wants to spend on their case. She is local, so available more readily. I'm don't know where you live, but if your schools and justice systems are funded well, you have smart people available too!
She is a smart, successful woman who you can tell very much enjoys her career!! I feel she may have just been a bit nervous, given the circumstances, which is why she said “right” so many times. Some people say “umm” or “uhh” or “so”, etc. and I don’t think “right” is any different. People tore her up and down in the live chat on one of the news stations and it was awful. The amount of mocking and insults and criticisms of her - which they didn’t do with literally any other witness - infuriated me. There was absolutely no reason for it.
Probably a mix of nerves and regular speech. I say 'okay' a lot at the end of every sentence even if I'm not nervous. Verbal habits are still habits at the end of the day.
I hope to god Mitchell and Brett aren’t there listening to all this. I also hope they weren’t there for the fire burning video. Didn’t think it could get any worse but that and this made it all the more real and sick.
For as lazy as CH appeared to be, he certainly did a lot to cover up these crimes. I can't even imagine doing this to another person, let alone my parents.
One more comment, I think she says “right” a lot because English may not be her first language. She has an accent. I don’t know if she might be a Spanish or Portuguese speaker originally. If you can imagine in another language that type of colloquial use of “right” maybe be normal and she might be doing it in English as well. Only in Spanish (or whatever) it might be ¿no? At the end of a statement every time.
I believe she is Puerto Rican, so she probably grew up speaking Spanish and English simultaneously. Her undergrad is from the Universidad de Puerto Rico.
She's obviously qualified to be on the stand discussing the topic at hand. She's entertaining to watch and easy to follow. However, phrases like "pretty much" and "right" in places that don't fit really detract from her professionalism. The phrase, "pretty much" in the context which she uses sounds very child-like. Her use of the word, "right" makes the statement that preceded it less effective and gives off the feeling that she's not confident in the information she's relaying.
The notion of a "Body Farm" is gross and exactly what the name implies. Cadavers are used to establish a whole host of scientific experiments. Length of time, under what conditions, insect activity, bones and other body structures are dug up, analyzed and classified. The manner in which she described the delicate nature of the ash dump under the fireplace certainly demonstrated her experience as a scientist, especially her archeology background. She sectioned off the pile and sifted the ash, finding over 200 bones of varying sizes amid the ash. I wondered if the unidentified bones were animal bones. Psychopaths often torture and kill small animals and I suspect he's done this before. Everything went too smoothly, the actual dismemberment, the cleanup. He killed his Dad on July 1st at perhaps 2:30 after Bart sent the "I'm ready when you are" email to Chandler. That email probably indicating the meeting at the College @ 3. OR was he giving Chandler the date he had to be gone from the house? Then he shot his mom at 5 15 - 530 when she returned from work. Cat was there by 7 on the 2nd and didn't notice anything unusual other than the smoky smell - even though she slept right beside the fireplace where human remains and grease were dripping from the fireplace grate. Cat left early on the 3rd and arrived again on the 4th at 2:55 pm and left shortly after Then arrived back that evening and departed on the 5th - and never noticed anything unusual. Amazing!
I think Cat was both very native and in total denial. She's young, and she was heavily in love with Chandler. She was planning to move to the other side of the country only two weeks prior.
How could anyone kill people and dismember their body and burn their heads in the fireplace… much less your own parents? This is straight up evil. That young man is fighting some demons. Dr. Soto was amazing ! ❤

She is beautiful, smart, articulate. She explains everything so well. Eat your heart out everyone who complains about her use of the word “right”.
Exactly! Thank you
Right! Yeah she is beautiful. Looks alot like my ex Becca...if only Becca was 1/10 as intelligent.. LOL!
It’s better than the lady who said umm every other word.
@@thelostronin hahahah
@@KeefeL appreciate that! You made my day laughing at that!
Me watching Bones: There is no way forensic anthropology is this cool in the real world.
Me watching this trial: Well dang, i guess that theory is disproven.
shes so into her testimony, seems to be enjoying being here lol. very believable. obviously passionate about her job, good to see
She's SUCH a Heroin🧚🦸!!!!! Bless every single Doc out there for saving lives!!!!😘 I have the utmost admiration and appreciation for these passionate geniuses!!!!🧠 It's Doctors like this guardian angel that saved me from death, after being diagnosed with cancer at 8 years old 👼... I'm 42 years old now, and I keep on tickin'⏰⏳⌚ THANK YOU DOC'S!!!!!👩⚕️🤟🙏 XOXO's, Maegan 💋💋💋
@@m.g.2645 christ what is this ? why so many emojis ? my god my eyes
The fact that most of the people in these comments are more worried about her use of the word right and not on the subject matter she is speaking about which is that of two deceased persons bones is astonishing.
Sad...☹️
@Amanda Harrell I've had to stop reading most of the comments. There are so many immature and, frankly, ignorant people watching live court cases. I just hope they never sit on a jury. Their lack of empathy is alarming.
Right
Thank you so much Amanda that was exactly what I was thinking… so many people are used to speaking small talks so it’s hard to listen to her obviously and they are fixated in the word “right” instead of focusing on learning from her. I am a grad student as a matter of fact my first class starts today.. I am learning to be enthusiastic as her and energetic as her and well educated as her… that is what I got from this testimony to be honest.
Goes to show you how minimal someone’s understanding of the content is if that’s all they can comment on.
I am a retired firefighter/paramedic and a registered nurse (RN) which I am still a nurse and have 5 college degrees....I could listen to Dr. Soto for days teaching me her profession! She is incredible and knows her profession frontwards, backwards, sideways, and top to bottom! Her saying right is her way of mentally confirming acknowledgment of the information to the jury! It doesn't bother me at all because it is just another way of exuding her excitement of what she does for a living!!! Love her!!! Great job Dr. Soto!!!
She's just very expressive & enthusiastic about her job IMO
@@brendalambert9916 Wow! Did you really write that?
The lady was there to give her professional analysis of the evidence she had to work with, she showed true professionalism throughout her testimony, her job wasn't to sit there and cry about the severity of the crimes and to express her sorrow and sympathy for the victims, and for you to suggest she was disrespectful is wrong and disrespectful in itself.
@@hopsta5628 Thankyou. You said what I felt.
"So you couldn't determine if these bones came from one human or 6 different humans right?" Is the defense suggesting that Chandler may be a serial killer..?
This case is horrid….this kid is as sick as they come!
@@stepheneurosailor1623 liking your own comments again I see! The desperation!
@@stepheneurosailor1623 she was innocent. Look up her original interrogation
This is an insane amount of work for a crime scene. I am watching the part about the ash trap, and it strikes me how many hundreds of hours of painstaking labor just this woman put into getting Bart and Krista justice. I wonder if the killer is sitting there and thinking “I had no idea there were people who could sift through an ashtrap all day.”
I am also wondering how someone chooses this as a profession. What makes a human want to study death, saws, bones, and how much death has had to occur to get the sciences where they are today.
Then, there’s an ungrateful son. I’ve been watching this case, and I was looking at my 7 year old son today, wondering how a kid could grow up to shoot his mom, saw up her body, and throw her head and hands in a fire. It boggles the mind.
Well said 💯 the hard work everyone did for the victims is amazing. And should be an example to how it always should be done.
It's very hard to understand how a son who had such caring & attentive parents could go through with such a horrible thing. For solely selfish reasons. Every parents nightmare for sure.
Watch your back
@@jeremysmith9694 My kids aren’t the “kill your parents” type. And Im not the “sure son whatever you want” type.
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis haha. Good to know. But I kinda doubt these parents thought that either.
She is amazing, informative and enthusiastic. She would be a great teacher which her knowledge
I can’t imagine a child cutting up and placing his parents heads in the family fireplace. Chandler is definitely a disturbed individual!
The ignorant questions from the defense seems to help the prosecution more so than not
He has no emotions. Even hearing about it.
Omg she's completely brilliant 👏🏽 much respect!
Did the defense attorney think she was making her client look better when she asked, "You couldn't tell if these bones were from one human or SIX humans, correct?" Good grief! Was she implying that perhaps her boy had killed SIX people and burned them in the fireplace or was she trying to insinuate that Krista and Bart had spent long cold Wisconsin evenings burning people in their fireplace? She needs to remember that the majority of these fragments were taken from the TOP layer of ash and that would have been attributable to dear old Chandler! This guy needs to NEVER see the outside of a prison again.
she was grasping at Straws. she had no defense. this case was a slam dunk from the beginning.
She’s so informative explaines in language we understand. So knowledgeable
💯
She looks so competent, knowledgeable & professional...
Wow. She is so incredibly articulate and energetic. What a wonderful person!
The Dane County District Attorney, William Brown is one of the most gifted orators I’ve ever heard. This county has invested and hired wisely with their competent police force, to whom, they’ve given opportunity for further education, become more specialized and made it possible for the men and women to all shine with their thorough, thoughtful and caring way they have handled themselves throughout the investigation and trial phases. The experts DA Brown has brought on this case are world class experts. They’ve all been well credentialed and impressive.
What a confident,vibrant and confident Dr...she clearly loves her career and passionate about what she does..brilliant.
So looks like he tried to burn all he could fit a few pieces at a time but working around his girlfriend coming and going and as Monday approached he was running out of time because his mom would not report to work people were going to start questioning her whereabouts. I think that’s why he opted to dump the rest.
And the fireplace glass broke as well.
His attempt at burning 🔥 did not go as well( keeping high heat), was much more complicated (work) than he expected and messy/ smelly. Hence, I believe he then started dumping parts.
@@citrusbloom7504 With the girlfriends help?
I really wish the cameras would pan to Chandler during these horrific testimony. Is he enjoying his handiwork and reliving the experience all over again, like most murderous psychopaths?
How was he able to do all this, he's a skinny scrawny thing with slender medium sized hands, and was still able to appear normal to those he came in contact with??
I wish the cameras would pan over to Chandler more during the meat & potatoes of this trial, too!! U can't help but wonder, "What is this psycho THINKING," as they lay out all this gruesome evidence. Smh
Hopefully, the jury will conclude with a GUILTY verdict, when it's all said & done.
I want to see the testimony and chandler at the same time, as well as the evidence they put on the screens. Like a split screen. We know they can do it. We just need to encourage that I guess
they did so many times no feelings or remorse from the interrogation and he really thinks he is innocent
Bolt cutters, hack saws, ‘anger’…
@@bonnemoms5413 a split screen would be awesome.
You can tell that she has been in many courtrooms explaining exactly what it is that she does. She is extremely articulate and enthusiastic which makes her very easy to listen to and actually learn what she is saying. You can tell who is in courtrooms often or not by who they direct their speech at. She speaks directly to the jury which only a few of the speakers did. Most speak directly to the DA. She knows exactly who her information needs to be relayed to & it’s not the state.
The evidence is overwhelming. I feel sorry for the defense attorneys. Not much they can really do.
@Angela - please see my suggested objection - to prosecution asking if all of the false start cuts suggested that the cutter was tiring…LOL
The defense attorneys are there to make sure he gets a fair trial and spends the rest of his days in prison. He’s evil
HOW CAN CHANDLER STILL BE LISTENING TO A
How can chandler still be sane really....if he is reliving everything he did to his parents...sick, sick, sick ! !
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW OLD HE WAS WHEN HE STARTED LYING...AND WAS GETTING AWAY WITH HIS BIG LIES....IF WE FIND OUT , IT WILL BE A VERY GOOD LESSON FOR PARENTS...SO NOTHING LIKE THIS WILL NOT EVER HAPPEN TO THEM IN THE FUTURE.
LOVE this woman, very smart and fantastic at explaining things and you can tell by the way she explains, that she loves her job and enjoys learning this process. Very good witness 👏🏾👏🏾
It’s amazing how knowledgeable this dr. Is! She’s a nightmare for chandler im sure!
She's so chic, cheery and enthusiastic talking about dismemberment!
Lots of practice and hand on experience will give you that personality a lay man would feel the exact opposite.
@@Eyerusalem_ Undoubtedly true - it's just the subject matter she is so expert in is such a gruesome one, and her delivery is so disconcertedly cheerful and efficient.
@@ccvisions That is true.
@@peach1267 It isn’t off at all when you are passionate about your work. Her job is extremely important and she seems quite expert at it.
🤣 sad but true. Funny thought 💭
Dr. Soto’s testimony and research is very important in order to tell the story of the trauma to skeletal remains. This helps build a case. There is not much wiggle room to get away with murder. For those who want to understand what osteoarcheology can achieve, consider watching the identification of King Richard III of England from 1485. The whole research team was able to identify King Richard III through archeology, osteoarcheology, DNA, anthropology, terrain analysis and weapons. Some of the same team members study the battle of Towton combatants from the archeological/historical sites in England. It may not seem important to identify 600 year old humans, but some of these researchers work on current murder/homicide cases. If any of these persons are your family members, it becomes very important to identify the remains and secure justice for the victims.
If that was my parents’ death being discussed I’d be distraught, not sitting there relaxed and taking notes, GUILTY
THAT is why he's guilty, in your opinion? Hope you're never on a jury. There is plenty of actual evidence.
@@You.Tube.Sucks. I’m not just basing this on my comment but all the professional ad expert witness testimonials and evidence I’ve seen
He's not even taking notes, it looks like he's doodling, when you look at how he's holding the pen and how little contact the pen makes with the notebook
@@lizhibbard3887 excellent -- much better reasoning :)
@@You.Tube.Sucks. Thanks, I didn’t write a protracted comment as everyone had already said what I felt. I was devastated for his family and thought he was far too laid back listening to these horrific findings, have a great day Liz
knowledge and passion wow the best combination. 👏
She is awesome. CH's parents gave him something he never had, a graduate level lesson in anthropology.
Mean.. But lol
Creepy
This forensic scientist is very clear and concise about her processing of the evidence. Explains is very clearly.
About this time, Chandler is saying, I'm screwed.
I'm watching 5 mo after the fact and all I can think is "Can he just say UNCLE, I'm done!".
The judge seems so friendly and personable.
The defense, in this case, is unbelievably inept but I can't help but think that this may be used as some sort of anchor for an appeal later down the line. Barely 2 minutes of cross in over two hours of highly detailed testimony is staggering. I can only speculate that the defense's case rests on some scenario where Chandler either discovered his parent's murder or was somehow caught up in attempting to protect his mother & ended up killing his father. He then panicked and disposed of them. Of course, this is absurd. I've watched many trials & rarely have I reached a conclusion of guilt as quickly as in this instance. The evidence is overwhelming & I'm struggling with how it ever came to court. Chandlers' incompetence & sheer laziness in attempting to cover his tracks beggars belief.
They said in their opening that they will likely get up and say he is guilty of some but not all. I’m guessing they’re going for it wasn’t premeditated, but it happened. Hoping to lessen the sentence?
He had said he heard his parents fighting..he assumed it was about the broken glass...
Could say mom shot dad then herself...
If his lawyer says that it will be so nauseating!!!
i think they're pointedly avoiding digging a hole and falling into it. bottom line nobody actually saw or recorded *him* in the act of killing them, so they can try for doubt.
@@June-tb4vi The mother shot the father dead, and then herself, after which she dismembered them both and scattered them in the countryside. Makes sense to me (not).
@@ccvisions Sir. Your comment made my day!
I’m amazed how evidence in a crime are found out today. The human mind is more depraved as we grow as a society so, the learning has to grow. I’m amazed that people do this stuff (anthropology) for a living. I always just thought of anthropology as the study of the cave man…Lolol. I will never understand how people commit crimes in this day and age with all the “ways” they can be found out.
What state of mind must he have been in whilst cutting up his parents. I hope the scene haunts him for years to come. Deeply disturbing
And Cat
@@stepheneurosailor1623 and cat?
This anthropologist is brilliant!
I agree with the folks who said they would love to have this witness as a teacher. I did a lot of anthropology in college but this lady is awesome!
Let us hope that the intensely scientific terminology, knowledge & technology creates distance for her and helps shield her from the gutwrenching reality of her study. That AND the knowledge that she's putting the monster away.
His parents didn’t deserve this.
No living creature deserves what he did.
Even though she's smart and educated maybe she still felt nervous and that's why she said right a lot. I think that the jury will find her testimony very damning for Chandler.
I think the use of the word “right” has more to do with her also teaching a lot.
It seems that she uses “right” as a kind of punctuation mark. But yes, probably because she teaches and that is a way of engaging the listener.
you would think that if someone like chandler were truly innocent, having to sit through all this testimony (including extremely graphic images) about his own parents’ dismembered body parts would be unbearable for him. but the way he sits there, seemingly unfazed and bored, doodling on postit notes, really says a lot.
It didn't even show him
Great job by the Doctor. Amazing for such a young person
Has to be painful sitting at the defense table.
Even though what little the Defense said was maddening and ridiculous, I actually felt sorry for them. The evidence was so overwhelming. They had nothing to work with.
This is truly the MOST DISGUSTING aspect of this trial. Holy sh..!
Very intelligent lady
"You can't tell if these bones came from 1 human or 6 humans, right?"
"Correct".
Is defense trying to say there might be other people missing? 😳
At 2:06:02 ☝️
She’s both brains and beauty. 👍🏻🌟
Extremely intelligent and insightful woman. Was very impressed with her testimony
Excellent young lady knows her job really well 👏
I skipped a few of the testimonies. But not this one. Shes very intelligent and well spoken!
I love how every time someone mentions their credentials Chandler feels that much more of a loser
No, he just pretends he has those skills/education or talent. Kind of like the scuba diving and solar panel “jobs” lol
Such a intelligent woman, great work!!
Such a clever lady 👏👏👏👏
You can see how much she enjoys her job. Excellent witness.
She is an awesome Dr.. wow I am impressed with her ... She explained that where normal people that aren't educated can understand.
This lady is beautiful, confident, and lights up any subject she takes on.
For all her brilliance, some commenters here could only focus on her "right"? Were you even listening to the rest of what she said about the bodies in so many details??
Exactly!!
We did. It's possible to listen to it. Be completely fascinated by her presentation, in awe of her brilliance and passion and also wish she wouldn't use the word "right" so much.
Omg he pulled their teeth, because they know he burned their heads in the fire place. What kind of sick this guy is uncomprehendable
Geez, he's awful
I think that he just put their heads and body parts in and all that was left was bone and teeth. I don't think he pulled them
@@Mer569no he didn’t pull their teeth, Dr Soto explained about the teeth in a fire.
Give her a raise!! I'm sure she has very proud parents ..
Amazing that Dane County hired such an educated and talented forensic anthropologist. My county has a similar population; I wonder if we have such a qualified person?
It would depend on the amount of money prosecution or defense wants to spend on their case. She is local, so available more readily. I'm don't know where you live, but if your schools and justice systems are funded well, you have smart people available too!
Real world Dr. Bones. She's incredible
She is a smart, successful woman who you can tell very much enjoys her career!! I feel she may have just been a bit nervous, given the circumstances, which is why she said “right” so many times. Some people say “umm” or “uhh” or “so”, etc. and I don’t think “right” is any different.
People tore her up and down in the live chat on one of the news stations and it was awful. The amount of mocking and insults and criticisms of her - which they didn’t do with literally any other witness - infuriated me. There was absolutely no reason for it.
Probably a mix of nerves and regular speech. I say 'okay' a lot at the end of every sentence even if I'm not nervous. Verbal habits are still habits at the end of the day.
I love this lady. Excellent
Defense strategy- Chandler, sit as still as you can and maybe they will go away
I hope to god Mitchell and Brett aren’t there listening to all this. I also hope they weren’t there for the fire burning video. Didn’t think it could get any worse but that and this made it all the more real and sick.
She is 💯💯💯💯💯💯 At her job 🤚 hands down AWSOME WORK !!!!!!!
For as lazy as CH appeared to be, he certainly did a lot to cover up these crimes. I can't even imagine doing this to another person, let alone my parents.
More than one involved perhaps?
One more comment, I think she says “right” a lot because English may not be her first language. She has an accent. I don’t know if she might be a Spanish or Portuguese speaker originally. If you can imagine in another language that type of colloquial use of “right” maybe be normal and she might be doing it in English as well. Only in Spanish (or whatever) it might be ¿no? At the end of a statement every time.
I believe she is Puerto Rican, so she probably grew up speaking Spanish and English simultaneously. Her undergrad is from the Universidad de Puerto Rico.
Did anyone else have video issues in the very beginning and again about 28min in?
Yes
@@MrJohnDoe-Jr thank you. I didn't see any comments in it and thought something was wrong with my device.
Yes
She's obviously qualified to be on the stand discussing the topic at hand. She's entertaining to watch and easy to follow. However, phrases like "pretty much" and "right" in places that don't fit really detract from her professionalism. The phrase, "pretty much" in the context which she uses sounds very child-like. Her use of the word, "right" makes the statement that preceded it less effective and gives off the feeling that she's not confident in the information she's relaying.
She's not talking to doctors or scholars. She's talking to a group of individuals with different degrees of schooling.
It took some serious force and effort to make several of these cuts!
Brilliant lady and brilliant witness
Dear god. So mom and dads heads and moms torso were burned hours after the murder.
Gruesome, how and why?
The notion of a "Body Farm" is gross and exactly what the name implies. Cadavers are used to establish a whole host of scientific experiments. Length of time, under what conditions, insect activity, bones and other body structures are dug up, analyzed and classified. The manner in which she described the delicate nature of the ash dump under the fireplace certainly demonstrated her experience as a scientist, especially her archeology background. She sectioned off the pile and sifted the ash, finding over 200 bones of varying sizes amid the ash.
I wondered if the unidentified bones were animal bones. Psychopaths often torture and kill small animals and I suspect he's done this before. Everything went too smoothly, the actual dismemberment, the cleanup.
He killed his Dad on July 1st at perhaps 2:30 after Bart sent the "I'm ready when you are" email to Chandler. That email probably indicating the meeting at the College @ 3. OR was he giving Chandler the date he had to be gone from the house?
Then he shot his mom at 5 15 - 530 when she returned from work.
Cat was there by 7 on the 2nd and didn't notice anything unusual other than the smoky smell - even though she slept right beside the fireplace where human remains and grease were dripping from the fireplace grate.
Cat left early on the 3rd and arrived again on the 4th at 2:55 pm and left shortly after Then arrived back that evening and departed on the 5th - and never noticed anything unusual. Amazing!
I think Cat was both very native and in total denial. She's young, and she was heavily in love with Chandler. She was planning to move to the other side of the country only two weeks prior.
I love how she loves what she does!
How could anyone kill people and dismember their body and burn their heads in the fireplace… much less your own parents? This is straight up evil. That young man is fighting some demons. Dr. Soto was amazing ! ❤
