Is there no stairs he could fall down while been brought to court ?
People like this cannot be fixed and don't belong on our planet.
There is video on RUclips of defendant getting tackled by a large bailiff.
Please, Don’t bring up failing down stairs. The amount of harping the defendant did about falling down stairs in this trial as crazy.
go back to fifth grade.
Lol right like yall couldnt have accidentally dropped him a lil bit
How angry are you. Karma will get you
@@DR.DisInfectlol sure Jan
"Impossible means not possible and incredibly means not credible" - I think we have a Harvard scholar here folks! 🤣🤣
Sounds like it to me….wonder if he has to study or does this just come naturally to him?
Wait til he hears about inflammable!
Your comment is "unhonest"!! He's clearly MIT🤣🤣🤣
P.S. Best comment award from me
@@StellaFlunhonest means something not honest
@@courtsidewithjerome88 hehe, I know. Just referencing Yohn using "unhonesty"instead of dishonesty throughout the trial
I watched this entire trial. His pro se defense was almost as unbearable as Darrell Brooks’ defense.
Absolutely agree
Darrell Brooks was more entertaining due to his ridiculous vocabulary.
@@feurigerStern true! I’m pretty sure he made up words at times….and he was more theatrical……saw him one particular time where he got so angry with the prosecutor’s he stared at them for what seemed like 3-4 mins with this evil look which I guess was to scare them or intimidate but I thought they were trying not to laugh at him….he did it with the judge. I was hoping during one of these times he would have jumped on their table…..wonder how quickly the bailiffs would have responded.
where did you watch this trial at? it's not on their RUclips is it
He who represents himself has a fool for a client.
This case is horrific. That poor woman and her poor family..I can't even imagine. 😔
I just think of my own mom who is 80. It would just kill her.
They found to courage and fortitude to get through this POS man’s questioning. Fought for justice, Honored their mother by standing up when she no longer could (passed) and made sure B.Y. Didn’t get away with this horrible crime.
REPUBLICAN RED STATE
@tamarak9393
Agreed... my Mother will be 77 next Friday, and I can't imagine if this happened to her and then she passed 33 days later. My heart truly breaks for this family and their friends.
💔
@@goose7574My friend of 87 was attacked in her own home with a baseball bat. She survived. She went back to her home. Eight weeks later she died.
The perpetrator was a 15 year old boy who lived next door. A young boy that helped the lady with jobs around the house. All for $180.
3:06 The prosecutor's "WTF is he talking about?" faces are hilarious.
LOL
I'd hate to have a forehead that big. He looks ridiculous. Also, the "Scooby doo" story made perfect sense. I get where he was going with it.
Everybody is now dumber for having listened...
It’s not a forehead it’s an eight head.
@@MikoWorldwide didn't make it any less ridiculous.
The fact that this man is allowed to speak to the widow of the woman he attacked...this is horrible...
widower
Absolutely, exactly what i thought. That poor man, held it together very well, i would have been seething, but outbursts don’t help anyone.
@@chloerodgers692Thank you without your prompt grammatical correction we would of had absolutely no idea who this person was talking about. Thanks to you communication between two human beings was successful.
@user-ki6ce8iy5o - Agreed...just can't decide if it should be the edge of the grand canyon or golden gete bridge.
@atsylor5549 It is a travesty when good people lack the ability to express themselves properly and fully. Not all grammar corrections like this are being made just because someone wants to be a jerk. Important thoughts require important words, and there is nothing wrong with learning something new.
Prosecutor was doing a WTF 😳 look there 🤣 Jesus what a sick case!
I normally have hair ? 😂
The prosecutor facial expressions are hilarious! Honestly the prosecutors did a great job showing restraint during this
So true. You could tell how much he wanted to beat the 💩of that animal.
I’m not sure whether the prosecutor’s facial expressions would have been allowed in Judge Dorow’s court. This prosecutor was so public. He was also very impatient. If Darrell Brooks saw DAs do that it would be a show!
This defendant, Yon, certainly had major issues with speaking his logic 😮😮.
@@cynthiatucker2147 oh so facial expressions are a crime now lol sometimes you cant control them and after knowing this guys story and hearing what hes saying its ridiculous
He should also be charged with holding everyone in that court hostage to his ridiculous ramblings. That is just cruel torture when you can't laugh at loud at his stupidity 😂. But still doesn't rise to the level of the craziness of the Brooks circus 🙈
😂😂😂😂
Yes, he should pay for this court trial himself.
A child complaining about the older sibling hitting him, and the mother telling him:
_Well..., my lovely young man, where are the marks to prove such_ ?
is crazy enough. But to use that in a defense when 150 years is hanging over you is ...
How excruciating it must have been for the victim's husband to have to talk with his wife's murderer at the trial!
She is the classiest 77 year old woman I have seen in my life. RIP Mrs. S. May you watch over your family. ❤❤💋💋
Revictomizing her husband and daughters surely would have swayed me as a juror. Essentially putting them on trial, showing absolutely no remorse after being caught red handed in her vehicle with her check and voter ID. Unconscionable!
Ya- much like DBrooks- he seemed to think lying to jury would solve all his issues 🙄
@@ruthlys He obviously didn't follow the Brooks trial because you're absolutely right. No matter what jury instructions are, we're all human and these things matter.
Horribly I think he might believe his own BS.
It perfectly encapsulates the mindset of this kind of offender, how they don't take responsibility and see themselves as the victim. It's basically like testifying for the whole trial
I haven't watched this one. Is it another case with irrefutable proof of guilt?
Bro telling the story about the remote like it’s some childhood trauma and a great injustice
Stupidity + arrogance is not the best combo when defending yourself in a court of law.
Either is wisdom and humility......judges hate that
This gave the Darryl Brooks defense a run for its money, but at least we knew when Brooks learned a new word over night because the next day he’d shoehorn it into every sentence he could manage.
Did they ever settle Subject Matter Jurisdiction?
It's a "tell" of a narcissistic personality, they love words.
What a real piece of work....give that jury a medal for pain and suffering....
😂 I agree!!!
oh quit beung a wussy.
@@shaquadradeloiserussell8659Who is a wussy?.
@@janewaterfield648
All of you.
@@shaquadradeloiserussell8659. I find it interesting that all people are a wussy including yourself.
I love a prosecutor who cares and defends the innocent victims like this great legal prosecutor right here! 🙏
Yeah Billy corgan from smashing pumpkins did an outstanding job.
he really said " my 2 greatest friends are elderly people, one just happens to be 76" 😂 unreal
Doesn’t really warrant a laughing emoji.
He’s a legit psychopath.
@@MontagZoso it does it was hilarious
@@MontagZoso😂😂😂
A true narcissist, makes the situation any situation all about himself. A vile individual who’s where he should be, forever.
A notice at first when he talk about usually has hair
Another Darrell Brooks... these predators are coming out of the wood work like the COCKa roaches that they are
Absolutely 💯
He really thought being hostile, insulting people including the family, calling the deceased elderly victim a LIAR, using aggressive hand movements, showing the barely contained seething rage, and his incoherent “everybody’s lyin’ on me” was a good defense? I cannot wait to see him humbled for his hayneeous crimes.
The prosecution’s faces are hilarious! This guy is so full of s***!
Prosecutor was losing his cool. That isn’t professional by the way. The defendant deserved what he got, but prosecution should remain cool in such matters.
@@bannedone3ice138 I watched the whole trial. I promise you hes definitely remaining cool. It was a circus.
@@bannedone3ice138let’s remember they are people too.
I spent 30 years in criminal Justice but this is something I cannot understand. I am stunned this animal was permitted to act on his behalf without a second chair to keep things moving along and keeping proper decorum. Honestly, this whole thing is shameful.
It puts the whole system in question what a joke
Huh? You are a 30 year veteran of the Criminal justice system yet don't know people have the right to represent themselves?
@@plforeal4392a joke? If a defendant represents themselves? Why? Because they practically ensure a conviction?
Was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. Just add more trauma to the family :(
Liar 😂
Hopefully prison life for Mr. Yohn will be as horrific as possible.
If he's lucky, it won't take long for an inmate to shank him. Hopefully, it's a senior citizen inmate.
I'm counting on it !
@@debcarpenter8519 totally agree with u
Those who represent themselves lots of times make a fool out of themselves. Never fails.
Well, that's true. But just about anyone else I ever saw who tried to do that came a lot closer than this loser ever could. This guy couldn't give a pep talk to a boy's soccer team, never mind convince a jury of anything. It's so ridiculous to see someone unfit to even clean the courtroom try to practice law.
Only narcissists defend themselves. This already makes him look guilty.
Not true! Look at uhh….ummm….
RON DESANTIS IS RIGHT......TAKE AWAY THIS EUROPEAN IMMIGRANT ALIEN ANCHOR BABIES AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
Yup
This is just so disturbing. This judge has so much patience. I don't think I would have for this monster. This poor husband should not have to speak to this disgusting monster.
THE REAL CULTURE OF NO ACCOUNTABILITY 👌
I'll tell you who had patience and that was the victim's husband! To be questioned by the Monster that Invaded your His home and assaulted his wife, ultimately succumbing to her injuries, I don't think I would've been able to hold it together.
@@MR.GetOVERiT333 he was convicted and locked up, so what do you mean exactly?
@@claudiavalentijn1457 HE PLEADED NOT GUILTY.......UM HMMM
@@MR.GetOVERiT333 yes he did. To no avail.
The faces of the prosecuters are priceless!
Oh that prosecutor couldn’t stand him!! Don’t blame him!!
Prison is to good for these evil creatures, they need to take a permanent dirt nap
There was no sign you honor….
Judge: I’ve been waiting for this my entire life.
To be fair the defendant has never used the main court door. He always get his own security escort in the special in custody door.
Defendants shouldn't be allowed to question Victims, and their Family! Someone else should do it! It adds to the Devastating Trauma.
feelings shouldnt matter in court , some people get wrongly convicted off feelings instead of facts but it is human nature to be emotionally. ( not this case though )
Trevor Summers may be of interest. He represented himself. He cross examined his ex wife.
Attempted murder, kidnapping plus several other charges.
It sucks but if he chooses the represent himself then he has the right to. Everyone gets a fair trial and just because he is a monster who did it. If he is his own attorney and the widow and daughter testimony is important to the case he must be allowed to cross examine them
Yep like Ted Bundy did
Omg my mother is 77 now I
cannot even being to imagine the pain and anger for her family😢😢😢 I would catch a case if I was in the same room with him!
3:20 look at the prosecutors face 😂😂.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Poor guy thought he heard it all. lol
This has to be the only time Scooby Doo has been brought up in a opening statement
This fella is priceless, he not only brings his own rope he builds his own gallows.
Lolol
He violated and terrorized a beautiful elderly woman and ultimately killed her. This is an ugly monster - inside and outside.
Honestly, I know people have rights, but having to listen to this person would have been such a pain. That poor woman and her family and the jurors having to listen to that. Pathetic.
Rights aren't absolute, they just happens to be law in that particular country. And I honestly think this law, which allows a suspect to question his victims is a big mistake. The right to represent oneself in criminal matters also isn't a great thing, but I generally don't mind because it only hurts themselves. But I do think they shouldn't be allowed to question victims and/or their close relatives. Ideally, as I see it, defenders should be forced to use an attorney if they went to question/cross victims, or be allowed by discretion of judges on a case by case basis.
Should’ve seen the Darrell Brooks trial where he represented himself - unbelievably the same thing.
@@zigmar7Defendants have a right to confront their accuser.
@@gmimi2 I know. In US law. And I think it is a mistake. Some people, especially Americans, for some reason consider a constitution as some kind of immutable divine revelation, and not as a bunch of laws written and updated by a bunch of dudes over a span of several hundred years. Don't get me wrong, US Constitution has mostly good stuff there, but also a bunch of stuff, that I think is quite wrong. Like this one, for example.
@@gmimi2 Actually you don't have a constitutional right to confront your accuser. Everyone in the United States has the right to "*be confronted with the witnesses against him*". If the accuser isn't a witness in the prosecution's case or if the defense doesn't call them separately, you don't actually have a right to confront them. There's quite a few times where the prosecution for one reason or another can't bring the victim of the crime into court and instead has to rely solely on witnesses of the crime or law enforcement that was able to piece together the crime scene, and those cases are still valid and legal because the defendant is allowed to confront the witnesses rather than the victim themselves.
There was a case - I think it might've been like 10-15 years ago - where a guy committed a bunch of assaults over like two or three days and none of the victims (all prostitutes) were willing to come and testify and yet the trial went on because bystanders and law enforcement testified to what they knew. I'm pretty sure but not 100% that the guy tried to appeal citing that he didn't get to face the 'accuser' and the appeals court didn't accept his appeal at all on those grounds.
There were 2 outrageous moments that really stood out to me.
The exhibit Yohn labeled "Exhibit 100" because, his, words, "it is 100% true".
And his father's testimony, which provided a bit of pathetic insight into how and why Yohn is what he is.
I take comfort in the fact that, as I type this, Yohn is staring at the ceiling of some Illinois jail, regretting every decision he's ever made.
DEPORT ALL TRUMP SUPPORTERS AND REPUBLICANS TO AFRICA TO BE SLAVES TO AFRICANS. WE WE FIGHT ON THE BEACHES, WE WILL FIGHT IN THE NIGHT, IN THE HEAT, IN THE COLD, HUNGRY, SICK, TIRED....WE WILL NOT STOP UNTILL ALL YOU INVADERS ARE DEPORTED TO AFRICA AS SLAVES.
I think he is regretting that he was caught. No remorse for he did.
Only regrets he was caught.
idiots see the word "regret" and think "remorse" like.... they are two different words for a reason....
“Hills have eyes” vibes! WTF DID I JUST HEAR HIM SAY!!!
That attorney’s expressions are priceless
... and at times unprofessional.
The WORST moment was when he argued that he didn't have enough access to photos of her vagina. These photos were taken by an nurse while conducting her examination after the assault.
“It’s not me bc the prosecutor is not showing enough disdain toward me” wow what a fantastic defense strategy 😂
Cases like this remind us that society will always be imperfect, as we are overrun by monsters.
Imagine Darrell Brooks's case with this judge! 😂
Yesssss
He just came to mind when I read your comment lol. ‘Grounds!’
Better still imagine Brooks and Yohn being locked up in the same cell together with Ronnie O'neal for life. 🤣🤣🤣
@@StellaFl that would be fantastic!
2:05 I see he’s employing the brilliant legal tactic called the middle school essay technique
Lolol
Just goes to show that only true narcissists would attempt to defend themselves against crimes they SO CLEARLY committed.
Thanks for posting this one Jesse!!! It’s crazy 😝 and so sick beyond putting it on tv!
It’s been said that an attorney who represents himself has a fool for a client.
That's Gold 😂😂😂
The prosecutions reaction is hilarious 😂 😃
Maybe it's just me, but I think a case involving SA of any kind should automatically disqualify someone the ability to defend themselves. The trauma it inflicts on the victims and their families is just too severe.
They should also be deleted
I agree
People have a constitutional right to defend themselves in court and be confronted with the witnesses against them. It is foundational to our justice system and for that to change would require an amendment to the constitution.
@@fatsidekick So someone has a constitutional right to be traumatized by their abuser. Good to know.
@@brotherbruno1783 what you said really didn’t make any sense but yes it is their decision if they choose to testify in court.
Who tf would sexually assault any woman let alone a 77 year old woman
The frustration of this idiocy is palpable on All their faces
"Impossible means not possible. Incredible means not credible." I bet that sounded so poetic in his head. What an actual piece of human trash.
“Being logical is logical” That statement hurt my brain.
I don’t think these evils should be allowed to waste the courts time by representing themselves. 🤯
You cannot pick and choose who gets rights
This evil substance of human flesh is truly disgusting. 🤬🤮👿☠️
This is why I believe in and fully support the death penalty……..
Same.
He killed someone?
Sad what she had to go through on her last month on earth
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LAW AND CRIME NETWORK
The lights are on, but nobody is home.
😂😂exactly
Please interview that wonderful prosecutor. He has to tell us how he didn’t laugh at his face. That was a creepy defendant.
Prosecutor got in some snark in final close.
I'm from this county Mr Jones is an excellent prosecutor
Because none of this is funny.
"Being logical is logical": someone who came across the concept of logic a few minutes ago.
LMFAO 😅 ⚖️
I love the Look on the district Attorney's Face! Priceless 😊
I hope he suffers thru every second of that 70 yr sentence yo
The most sickening court hearing ever seen.
“Being logical is logical.” -Bradley Yohn.
And I believe it was the great legalist Darrell Brooks who asked the question, “Is that a lawful law?”
"My family has been repetitively denied". I think he meant to say "repeatedly" denied. 🙄
Watch first minute of State rebuttal close. You’ll like it. The prosecutor corrected defendants pronunciation.
@@North_West1 Thankyou. I'll try to find it and give it a watch.
He should have gotten the death penalty. What a psychopath.
the looks on the prosecutor's face were priceless
😂😂😂😂😂 opening statement had the prosecutor lost
He's been tormented???? What that poor woman went through and we are expected to be compassionate to this man? No, no sorry, he does not deserve it........
This is disgusting 🤮 American needs to stop letting these criminals relive there fantasies by destroying the family exactly what the monsters want.
Complete incoherence there has got to be a workaround to this. This actually makes a mockery of the already questionable judicial system of America.
I love this prosecutor, the look he gives the defendant is priceless...😂
Prosecutor wanted to assault that man
Pure Evil on Display.
I absolutely love this judge, takes no $hit.
I normally have hair? Definitely the first of many lies to come.
Bradley Yohn is a good example as to why abortion needs to be legal
Agree 💯
And to think he was the fastest swimmer hahaha
"Impossible means not possible, incredible means not credible" 🤦♀️
He was given assistance to council paid for by the taxpayers. The Supreme Court should stop this waste of taxpayers money. If a bozo decides to defend themselves they should pay for everything,
the faces the prosecutor is making while listening to this monster has me laughing
That was one bombastic side eye 👀
Ha ! "WTF He talkin' about ?" The look on Billy Corgan's face.
Don't forget the part where he dragged his dad into court to be an alibi. That backfired quickly.
What happened? I tried but couldn't watch this trial
@@melistasyHe tried to get his dad to say that they were together and he's innocent. His dad's in jail for something now too, but when he testified he said he doesn't remember dates well and couldn't provide a fake alibi at the last minute.
The lawyer looks like Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins……or at least Billy from the 90’s
Dude probably got bad advice from his jail cell mate 😂
listening to the prosecution squeal "objection!" over and over again, was kinda nice
The male Prosecutor at the end reaction. Hes like this dude got the nerve 😂
Thank You, Law and Crime Network, and Jessie.
Come on Jesse, you know when defendants represent themselves it’s like a “freak show”, you cringe, laugh, just can’t look away! 🥴
This shouldn't be. How horrible for the victim's family.
Similar to Durrell Brookes- his legal ability is inversely proportional to his arrogance
I love that they just put a clip of Darrel brooks as the Prose example
The judge should have shut this down. And stated he couldn’t stand by while he makes a mockery of his courtroom
Condolences to the families involved
Has there ever been a 'not guilty' verdict in a case with a violent criminal defendant who represented themselves?
Probably rare
No.
At least he didn't put an attorney through having to defend such a sick revolting coward. People like him cannot be fixed and hopefully the inmates get to play ball with him.
He doesn’t know torment, yet.. jailhouse Justice is real, swift.. and may be the only real Justice this family receives.
@@conniemorgan8402 the old soap in the sock treatment. Anyone who touches kids and the elderly are not welcome in prison.
This case is sad but the way that the state looked at him when he said his two best friends are 76 and 62 hahaha 😂
the prosecutor's facial expressions are everything
Sometimes evidence isn’t evidence 🧐😂
and impossible means not possible folks...
And don't forget... incredible means not credible. 😑
Looking forward to the news of his murder in prison
The prosecutors faces though 😂
