That was an excellent closing. Organized. Persuasive. Succinct. Straightforward. Respectful of the intelligence of jurors. Really good young prosecutor.
This prosecutor is brilliant, she broke this down perfectly
This was a brilliant closing argument.
Yess, she put everything together and it clicked. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Maybe for WV. 😂
I think this lawyer is awesome! She did an amazing job throughout the entire trial. The closing argument was so well prepared and clear, pulling everything together. There is no reasonable doubt for me.
She's so guilty
Superb closing. This prosecutor is a brilliant communicator. Her opening was en pointe too. Great work all the way. Justice for Michael.
Natalie Cochran note to self: don’t wear prison stripes to your murder trial.
TY Ashley. Great job. ❤ And-its always appreciated to hear you guys thank the jury for their service. TY for that too
Honestly, if the jury found not guilty. They all need to check themselves out. I hope they feel the pain of his family.
Not guilty by reasonable doubt
Only doubt I have is how much insulin she administered in her husband after giving him two blood pressure pills to calm him down. He trusted her, it wasn’t blood pressure pills she gave him. The proof was in his urine analysis at the hospital.
@@Talk2Me7 Guilty of first degree murder.
She shows NO remorse … not a good look for the jury
She forces sad emotions when people in gallery gasp and cry at the showing of autopsy photos. 🤨
If husband was in on it, he would not go to bank and make a scene. Good point
Brilliant closing argument. Bravo.
Why is she smiling ?,
The audacity, she is not sitting there because she’s in a beauty competition! She’s guilty!!! Who in heck does not call 911???? I’ve heard some children calling 911 on people they love!!!!
Can you imagine being the defendant in a murder trial and smiling and laughing?
She's a psycho. Her actions after her husband was unconscious are telling. Who does not get urgent medical care for someone who is unconscious? For hours? And only goes to the hospital when friend insists. She wanted him to die.
All these people involved when this man is obviously critically ill, and no one calls an ambulance?!
I hope she is found guilty - a treasure trove of evidence. I also believe she was poisoning him all along.
That’s what I think!
Quite possible
Guilty all day
Only a callous person would take large amounts of money from family and friends knowing that they will never see their hard earned money again I don’t think it is a big stretch that she could commit murder. I think the prosecutors time line clinched it for me guilty as charged
Bad woman
Every fact points to cold, calculated murder
Yup! My sister ripped me off my inheritance $125 000 in a ponzi scheme
How do you just take a picture of your spouse lying on the floor, instead of helping him and calling 911. Sad
Oh dear 😅 her cardigan is a lovely shade of the prison outfits (at first glance I thought she actually was wearing them 😅
Me too!
PLEASE keep her in PRISON!!!!!!!!!!!! Awful human!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve only picked up on this case the last few days…the amount of money she took…her current prison stay…and her behavior sitting between her two lawyers making faces, writing away and whispering to her lawyers….awful person.
How can anyone do this to their spouse??? It is sickening.
You "sleep off" a minor headache or maybe slight flu symptoms. He was unresponsive for god's sake no medical degree needed to understand that you can't just "sleep it off". She's just cruel.
She’s looking around like she doesn’t care 😡
The prosecutors did a great job. I think she's guilty and she's very sneaky. But I believe she could've fooled some of the jury's
How can a juror overlook the fact that she left him on the couch for 6 hours, unconscious? Changing clothes after wetting himself, while he is non responsive? How would a juror be able to justify that in their mind? They would have to be a sociopathic narcissist, just like the defendant is.
I hope his kids watch this and realize that evidence does not lie it makes sense she absolutely killed thier dad , faked cancer, stole ton of money !! She is a mess!! And a murderer
The jury got it RIGHT!!
Baby.. if I watch all the closing arguments in Law and Order was a person!! Best closing argument I've seen!!
Very good closing argument! The best!
The prosecutor was very well organized and to the point. The defense rambled. His voice is like having someone poke needles in your eye.
Great closing argument! It could be used to teach law students on how to conduct an effective close! Excellent job Attorney Ashley
Her attorneys are horrific.Humpty Dumpty is barely getting around🤦♀️
She is guilty and evil but don't blame her lawyers. They're just doing their jobs. Obesity is a disease. I guarantee you that poor guy will be the first one to wish he wasn't so fat.
Awful death for her poor husband Hope he gets justice ♎⚖️♎⚖️
I don’t get it, all those people an NO ONE calls 911. SMH
I was screaming at my phone,
Call 911!!
Every time she says a new person showed up I assumed they would be the one who came to their senses and called 911..... but nope. Not a one.
Even the policeman didn’t call an ambulance!!! This is so disgusting
Like the saying goes, "you don't know somebody until you know them"
Very impressed by this young lady’s closing arguments, to the point!!
Guilty of first degree murder. She’d been poisoning him for awhile.
One of the best closing arguments ever no screaming at the door no yelling no in their face handshaking just plain fax and truth. Awesome job lawyers awesome job cheers and judge.❤absolute evil
What a waste of life 😪. Being a thief, liar and convicted murderer is a horrible way to run your life. So long 😪
Apparently she loves the Bible
😂
Not to mention the legacy she left her two children. Apparently she didn’t care enough about them either.
So true 👍
I don’t know how she can sit there with that haughty look of her’s after already being
imprisoned for Ponzi scheme & now possibly murder of her husband 😮. Where’s the show of humiliation??
Wow! She’s not in any distress. Seating so smug! 😮
Her skin turned bright red at prosecutor closing statements. Proof of guilt!! Judge Judith Sheindlin....
Wow you’re right almost looked like hives at some points.
Wow is she good at delivering a closing argument. Natalie is guilty
I don’t see why she is bothering to take notes and looking at the screen so intently she knows all this but why is she bothering taking notes? She is so disillusioned of narcissist.
So she can remind herself of various points, in PRISON
RIP Man, JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!!!
Brilliant prosecutor! She is guilty a very bad woman NO remorse what so ever. She has vrainwahed her kids a disgrace!
Good closing arguments, timeline and Natalie you're going down, guilty.
Michael RiP ✝️🕊️🙏🏼 following from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
Her parents both live to see the golden years and then have to sit in on their daughter’s murder trial.Poor folks.
I agree…..but they support her even after she ripped them off and her family. Crazy!
So an hour after he was on the floor, he txt'd his buddy about the weekend. He revived and then fell unconcious?!?!?!?!? The glucometer should have had a memory which would show what his blood sugar actually was at home.
This woman is a monster. I was watching her when she was disagreeing here and there with the prosecutor….when the prosecutor starts talking about how Natalie started the process of killing her husband she does NOT nod or frown in disagreement.
Well done, Ashley.
I pray for her kids..this person is evil and guilty of murder
I would pray for them to if they hadn't lied for the person who killed their father. They both knew they were coached and yet still got on the stand and lied for her!
Sick individual who will stop at nothing to get what they want . 🇺🇸 ⚖️
her condescending look doesn’t help her case any . looks like a smirk .
hope she gets life no parole
They were both disgusting scammers, but she decided to murder him.
He died on the day he would have discovered her corruption and why one of their bank accounts were closed. 4:42
Years ago, I had a spouse that lied and lied and lied...by the time I realized the truth my life was turned inside out!! I only lost 60k and my place ti live ansd kept my life...thank god!!
Beyond reasonable doubt.
Imo she's thinking glaring at the state's exibit 'they got this thing figured out pretty good darn it". The state has got a really good prosecutor there. She has definately a look of contempt while the prosecutor explains the timeline. Watch her express fake confusement when incriminating points are made. I think the timeline is very accurate. Amazing how her house of cards imploded.
One of the best closing arguments ever no screaming at the door no yelling no in their face handshaking just plain fax and truth. Awesome job lawyers awesome job cheers and judge.❤
GUILTY 💔⚖️
Pretty odd that while we're watching a trial about fraud and murder, we have to see scam advertisements every 5 minutes.
Mine are about every 3 minutes. Hard to watch for sure.
That hoodie commercial and stickers. Omg.
103 fever for adults is a high enough temp that she wouldn't be able to get out of bed. No one goes to the Dr. and pharmacy if they have a high fever and are vomitting. They would be home in bed.
247 million!!!!!!! Oh wow!
She’s just like Sarah Boone that’s all she did,was to write notes.bit late at closing arguments.shes every bit as bad as Sarah Boone.
Well done Lawyers
Yes defense were arogant and pathetic and the prosecutors were/are amazing. If found innocent the jury would have to be imbeciles.
She’s one cool customer
I was wondering how she'd give a 200 lb man an injection of insulin. I think she either told him it was something else, or she first gave him Xanax. That will definitely put him to sleep.
She could have given him the inJection from behind and he might have thought nothing of her touching his back until it was too late. The defense tried to claim he would inject himself in the back.
She probably put it in his drink all the time to slowly wear him down. She can eject that into food or drink.
She phoned him from the doctors, she said she would pick up medication for the both of them, he wasn’t at all suspicious when she injected him.
She said he’d bumped his head on the bench. Maybe she knocked him out? I wondered if she could have put the insulin or Xanax in his coffee when he came back from Starbucks? She obviously didn’t think ahead!
I watched most of this case. The only question I’ve had the entire trial is can the prosecution get the “beyond a reasonable doubt “ because there is no doubt what really happened with this killer. That’s what she is. The only thing I wish the State would have done is bring a couple of meatball parm wedges into the courtroom every day to plop down on the table in front of that loudmouth load of a defense Attourney who constantly objected on everything because he knew that’s their only chance. It got really annoying
Her face expression alone and when you’re not guilty you don’t keep writing stuff down when state is speaking. N innocent person just listens and if they hear anything they don’t like they just talk to their lawyer.
Writing notes all her the way to prison to read for herself, reminds me of Charlie Adelsons, cocky, thinking she will beat this case, I'm glad jury didn't buy her bs, acts, deserve life in prison
that is crazy
Guilty
What I find interesting is that after he was admitted to the hospital and being intubated the state he was in, being on a vent, no brain activity present, she text her friend saying she hope it effects his mean side of his brain, then goes on to talk about a purse bingo, all while sending pictures of him in this horrible state JOKING… not one text about saying I should have brought him in sooner, I should have listened to you all, not one time did anyone say she showed remorse or need for him to be okay, but while in hospice she wanted a pillow put over his face, because she couldn’t handle it! No remorse! This was her husband!!! Only to keep the business going after he died, and continued to ask people for money. If her friends trusted her even after his death, she has no soul until the scheme came to light, then begged for mercy, but stated she had paid everyone back in the newspaper, she only took responsibility when pushed into a corner, but didn’t ask for forgiveness, just to allow her prison time be reduced or a check in case…she could convince her husband that a Xanax was Tylenol or a vitamin. If he hit his head so hard he broke granite, she knows not to let someone sleep in that condition, she allowed harm to her husband, she went as far as to bring a state
Senator letter head into her scheme, to keep it going, she would shut her husband up as well, to keep her prestige in her mind and her community! No doubts!
I took 1 xanax at bedtime and 1 in the morning 15+ yrs ago. When i tried to walk our dogs, i was too weak to stand up and had to lie down on the side of the road. Never again. Strong stuff!
Imagine being allergic to it as well. 😢 He was.
I believed shes guilty, but i dont think the prosecution put up a strong case .think the jury will be hung or go not guilty.
I agree
Can the Jury look past the tex messages from Michael's phone while he is unconscious? She was going to be found out!!
GUILTY !!! prosecution closing 😂as great and that is why she WAS FOUND GUILTY
Guilty yes
Dang! That attorney was seamless in her argument!!
I think you did a great job 👏
So an hour after he was on the floor, he txt'd his buddy about the weekend. He revived and the fell unconcious?!?!?!?!?
I think she’s guilty but I do not think the state had enough evidence
This ATTY was GREAT! Thank You Jury!!!!
Great closing statement. I noticed something tho. Did the victim take her name when they married? His parents have different last names than him.
His mother remarried
I agree. She is Cochran, and her husband had a different last name. Why wouldn’t Natalie have his last name? Maybe it was necessary for the business they had where it had to be female owned?
Brilliant!
Loved closing statement
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia is not normally treated right away after diagnosis. Some people go a number of years before receiving treatment. Our grandmother never had treatment at all. She died at 91.
She is guilty, as Karen Read
I hope that's not sarcasm because I agree.
Sooooo disturbing that she didn’t take him to hospital!
Where's the kids for this part?🤔
Guess she told them to stay home for this 🤨.
I just noticed this. They weren’t there for this part.
The scribbling need to be made public.. I would really like to know what these defendants ate writing..
After being such obnoxious lawyer I wonder what is going through her lawyers head.. the one to the left of her clearly knows its a losing battle
Geez, how much money did they mess with or have
240million 😮😮
Great closing.
Why did it take them 6 years to go to trial
The love of money is the root of all evil
so what would she gain with her husband out of the way ?
So you missed the whole thing about her stealing money from their marriage for a Ponzi scheme? You a narcissist too?
@@araucariapasquale1 your boring
@@george5590 that's what I would expect a narcissist to say when confronted with facts. Narcissists hate facts.
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... I'm sorry not just for Michael but for the kids also ... Loving your parents is natural but to lose one through greed knowing the other one is guilty of that loss is overwhelming ... Life is gonna be extremely difficult for them but it's by no means they fault ...Sort out where the blame lies..Sort out who has caused you this pain it may not prevent you from loving them but put the blame where it belongs...RIP Michael...🇬🇧🌹
This lady is fantastic
Can somebody explain to me the 'ponzi scheme' of this case? I don't get it.
She made up a fake government contractor company that was supposed to be supplying weapons to the US government and was getting huge amounts of money from investors, many of whom were friends and family. The husband became suspicious because all of these big returns she kept promising were not showing up. He was going to find out it was all fake so she got rid of him. She was taking in capital investments for a company that had no product to sell.
Why women do these cruel acts, Natalie, Sarah, Wendy n so many to kill their husbands over money, custody or revenge, it's sickening, look at her, rolling her eyes, master manipulator, greedy, devil in a dress who killed her husband, involved everyone, included no one
