I find this interview very interesting. Judge Cowart was a fine man. Knowledgeable , competent, upright . He stood for the law the victims all the while holding up the rights every defendant is assured in this country. Even that defendant before him , one that was a monster. Perhaps most certainly he ensured every T crossed. Every I was dotted for all involved. God rest that fine man.
Salut je crois t'avoir vu sur les videos sous titrés fr, fais tu une thèse, des recherches sur bundy? rien d'offensif mais ces derniers temps il y a un nombre incroyable de sites féminins dédicacés entièrement a ted et elles sont clairement "in love" avec lui, je trouve ça interressant et troublant à la fois, pour ma part c'est mon intéret ds les affaires criminelles qui m'attirent sur ce genre de videos et bundy est de loin le plus mystérieux et de zones d'ombres, bien à toi
He died at the AGE OF 62 in 1987, he was 54 in this video . He looks like 70 , I don’t know if he was sick here or not Can you honestly say he looks like 54? No But best judge ever , thank you for your service your Honour. Rest in peace
Yeah he looked older than his age no way I would have only said 54. The crazy thing is he sentenced bundy to die and died before the sentence. I like his personality though he is cool
Love your archive videos. The judge is such a classy person of that times the 70s. Love or dislike him, he did his job very well and I love him for that.
I love the one video where Ted Bundy has a cigarette dangling on his lips as he's exiting the courtroom . It's crazy how people were allowed to smoke in a court houses hallways lol. Different times I suppose
He was the coolest judge ever! Seeing him in court my immediate reaction was that this guy is down to Earth and wanted to be as fair as possible. He could be assertive when he needed to be, but wasn't overbearing nor overly controlling throughout. In fact he gave Ted a lot of leeway that a lot of other judges wouldn't do. RIP Judge Cowart!
I agree, he was very fair and navigated those proceedings with firmness and humanity. He took Bundy on face value and seemed able to park any hostility one may have when dealing so close with a viscous psychopathic serial killer.
Agree with you 100%!!! Salt of the earth... The kind of Judge you'd still be cordial w/ even after he handed you a death sentence. I would love to see his reaction to all of the foolishness we've got goin' on in our Judiciary these days.
This Judge was absolutely AMAZING the trials with Ted Bundy. He kept it professional and was just and true through the whole trial. Dealing with a Narcissist like Bundy who represented himself I’m sure was difficult. But we NEED 100 this Judge today. He handled this court case so well.

9:00,..an deeply insightful decent man, a man of conviction and respectability. Judge Cowart, A true thinking mans Judge, a thoughtful judge in the truest sense & meaning of the word thoughtful.
Tell me you're white without telling me you're white. 🙄 Now before you say they're racist , uhhh no. One: it's slightly a joke. Two: It's called realism. Why you think this era was so much better is DEFINITELY not true, and that's FACTUAL ... They're a very small scoped view ....
What a wonderful and noble man. I think he died way too early. I felt he was just about as mesmerizing in the courtroom as Bundy himself. I appreciate this very much. Thank you. ❤🌸
I’ve rarely seen another fair and impartial judge as this fine man. Most recently I saw the judge in the case against Chandler Halderdson, Judge John Hyland, who impressed me in the same way. He treated everyone, including the defendant, with the utmost respect and fairness.
Carol I grew up in Salt Lake City and remember the fear that everyone felt at that time. I felt so relieved when he was finally arrested. Thank you for your courage to run from him and get help! God bless you!
I wish God would have granted Judge Edward Cowart a long long life like his illustrious contemporary queen Elizabeth of Britain he was a year older than her so now on 2022 he would have been 97 strong sound of mind and remembering this infamous killer what a pity May God grant him peace and eternal rest as nd He shine upon him His Perpetual Light a great judge and a great person
In 1981 I was a visitor at the Florida prison where Ted Bundy was executed. I am a 59 year old woman. I met Ted Bundy in the death row visiting area in 1981 at the Florida prison where he was executed. I remember that Ted would always stare at me. I remember seeing Ted's wife carol visiting with him. I am just telling about my experience meeting Ted Bundy in that death row visiting area in 1981 at the Florida prison where he was executed.
Not to take away from the horrid thing this person did, but I wasn’t born until 1980. I stopped this and had to rewind it three times to make sure what I thought I saw when I saw him light up a cigarette was really. I’ve never seen anyone light up like that before a meeting or announcement. Wow
Wow. That a presiding judge would agree to sit for a press conference with a case that was still fresh and appeals pending, is something you don't see very often. Judges rarely talk to the press and when they do, they tend to speak in very broad, general terms precisely because of what Judge Cowart said in this video, that there were appeals in the pipeline, and he referred the press to his ruling, etc. He seemed like a very fair-minded judge even when he sentenced Bundy.
So in us judiciary system it's the judge that has the last saying on sentencing? ... I mean if this judge decided to not sentence Bundy capital punishment he could have done it ?
Judge Cowart was a nice guy. Maybe a little too nice. Judge Jopling presided over the Kimberly Leach trial. Judge Jopling was my favorite because he was more of a no nonsense judge. He didn't tolerate Bundy's foolishness.
Judge Edward Cowart comes across as a judge who had a great sense of justice,empathy,compassion and marvellous insight . Judge Cowart clearly gave Bundy his day in court. even Judge Cowart admits the DP is something knowone wants to face and took the responsibilty of passing that sentence very seriously .
Id LOVE to hear the man expand on the law being an organism. And would Kill to hear Scalia and his thoughts. Those are my two favorite judges without doubt.
11:10 ish lol. he's like a professor that is happy to answer questions, but not if you weren't paying attention during the lecture. seems a likeable character. Bundy was lucky to "peform" before him. And I really liked how he made sure to point out that Bundy was NOT a lawyer. Not even really close. But still articulate.

At 12:45 it was the only time he acted mean to a reporter, and it was the only woman news reporter ! He also was way too into Bundy, and kissing up to him, boyz club , awful to watch more misogny in the face of the female crime horrors ...
Why is it my eyes are totally fixated on his mouth when he speaks? I've only realised I've watched many many clips of the trial and never focused on looking at his eyes once 🤨
Are we sure this occured in 1979 ? Judge Cowart's hair here looks a little bit more discoloured, and grey whereas during the trial his hair was much darker... maybe it's just me.
What a brainwashed person you are Ma'am !!! with all the things that’s happening right now , you still bring him up . You Democrats are so out of touch with reality. Let go Brandon .
I would find it very hard to sentence anyone to death even someone like Bundy. Interesting to compare him to the hysterical, over emotional judge in the Nikolas Cruz trial.
The judge was a disgrace, praising Bundy and telling him that he would have liked to have worked with him. What about telling Bundy how hideous he was, how he destroyed people’s lives and deserved all that was coming to him.
He sentenced him to death…and yes what he said was true if the monster didn’t do what he did. People are so sensitive. The family are more than likely pleased that he got death than a statement made.
Why did he cowtow to Bundy?? Calling him exceptional & had no animosity towards him?? IMO he let Ted run that court while acting like a good ol boy!!???
Why can't we get judges like this on the supreme Court? Instead we get dirtbags like Thomas and Kavanaugh. A man like Cowart would never accept gifts from Harlan Crowe or anyone else petitioning his court. I guess a guy like Cowart, a man of this character, doesn't brown nose and suck up to the point that It takes to go that high in the judiciary.
My next trip to Florida, I'm taking flowers to this man's grave. He was an exceptional human being.
He was. I think he was cremated though so no grave unfortunately.
Great judge. The ironic thing is that Bundy actually ending up out living the judge. Judge died of heart attack in 1987. Bundy was executed in 1989.
I agree. Every time I have watched him speak I have been impressed by his knowledge and demeanor. Excellent qualities for a judge.
Judge Cowart died before Bundy ( 1987 ) i was 11 and my dad said he sent Bundy to the chair back in the day!! ;)
Not a bad way to wrap up a career of judicial service. RIP Your Honor
I find this interview very interesting. Judge Cowart was a fine man. Knowledgeable , competent, upright .

Wow, he was really pleasant and patient. The monotone and honesty were amazing. RiP judge, not many good ones like this out there anymore.
What stature! This man really had a presence and a very pure professional objectivity.

This is good I'm glad somebody got some footage from Judge Cowart only👍
A very nice and sympathetic person. RIP ❤
After all these years still fascinating footage around the Bundy story emerges. Thanks for posting this Carol.
Thanks for this - i didnt realise that he did a press conference/interview.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
He died at the AGE OF 62 in 1987, he was 54 in this video . He looks like 70 , I don’t know if he was sick here or not

Damn I thought he was like 76…wow.
He looked 60 or so here. He has jowls, but his skin isn't excessively wrinkled.
Love your archive videos. The judge is such a classy person of that times the 70s. Love or dislike him, he did his job very well and I love him for that.
Someone walks out with a cigarette in his mouth. Definite sign of those times.
I love the one video where Ted Bundy has a cigarette dangling on his lips as he's exiting the courtroom . It's crazy how people were allowed to smoke in a court houses hallways lol. Different times I suppose
He was an ol G! I love his swagger lol
Medical mistakes and pharmaceutical drugs kill way more people than smoking.

His last comment to Ted was insanely disrespectful to the women he brutalized.
Bullshit. The law isn't a fucking TV show despite this case.
Thank you for posting, have never seen these videos..
Thank you for the uploads! Your content is excellent!
Big Judge Edward Coward ! Rest in Peace !

Intelligent and complete class.
“I am running and moving toward obscurity,” said the judge.
Thank you for archiving the good as well as the bad. This judge was first rate. Likeable as well as professional.
It would’ve been interesting to see this judge preside over the O.J. Simpson murder trial.

nesking3115's point is valid.
He was the epitome of an honest impartial judge; any future judges see him and read this, here is a great example.
Bundy outlived Judge Cowart by two years.
9:00,..an deeply insightful decent man, a man of conviction and respectability. Judge Cowart, A true thinking mans Judge, a thoughtful judge in the truest sense & meaning of the word thoughtful.
Strange ironic twist that this judge died before Bundy.
Everything about this era is sooooo much better than today.

that's one cool dude. The minute he lit up that pipe, i said to myself "The good ole days"
You know you own the place when someone volunteers to light up your tobacco pipe to kick off a press conference.
He seems like a good guy!
What a wonderful and noble man. I think he died way too early. I felt he was just about as mesmerizing in the courtroom as Bundy himself. I appreciate this very much. Thank you. ❤🌸

Calm, deliberate and measured.
This is the judge who loved and respected Bundy. Bundy won him over .
He was 53-54 here. Folks in this era looked so old.
The "bless your heart" judge
how come Americans don't speak like this anymore ...

It's a pipe the judge is smoking but this was super common back then. Practically Everyone smoked cigarettes and smoked them anywhere and everywhere.
@@rubyruby6358 When I was a small child in the 1960s, over half of the adults I saw, smoked.

And he had also great sense of humour :)
Man this guy is difficult not to really love. I also love how well spoken he is.

LOVE Judge Cowart....!!
Reminded me of watching The Tonight Show with my parents when I was a little and girl and Johnny would light up! 😂
When a judge lights his pipe before a conference to barely able to light anything up 6 ft outside a building.
The sad irony of this is ... Bundy outlived him.
Id LOVE to hear the man expand on the law being an organism. And would Kill to hear Scalia and his thoughts. Those are my two favorite judges without doubt.
I enforce the laws. I don't make law. Big difference. And I act accordingly to the laws that are given!
Where is the letter from Bowman’s parents? Was it ever publicly released? Fine judge. Bless him.
“A ‘youte’? What exactly is a ‘youte’?”

I know he pandered to Bundy quite a bit, but this guy is totally solid. I like him..won't bite on reporters questions that might affect appeals, etc.
Boyz club.
Great guy, but can't believe he's only 54 here. I guess it's what they say; people looked older back then.
He’s a real goat (Greatest Of all Time) it’s a shame he didn’t live to see his sentence come to fruition. RIP
Why is it my eyes are totally fixated on his mouth when he speaks? I've only realised I've watched many many clips of the trial and never focused on looking at his eyes once 🤨
Great judge great human

Sadly, Ted would outlive Judge Cowert.
Not much after. And hope they both went to completely different places after passing.
I'd pay to see Trump stand before this Judge here in the United States and also in Heaven.

Me too!
For hurting your feelings?
Your TDS is extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile.🤡
I would find it very hard to sentence anyone to death even someone like Bundy. Interesting to compare him to the hysterical, over emotional judge in the Nikolas Cruz trial.
Is this judge still alive does anyone know?
He passed away on August 3, 1987. I uploaded a news clip. ruclips.net/video/X3sR5v67Eek/видео.html

Exactly!
12.04 said he was ‘cut’ and ‘concerned’ when he sentenced Bundy. ‘It’s not a pleasant thing to do’. Wow..
He sentenced him to death.
He sentenced him to death…and yes what he said was true if the monster didn’t do what he did. People are so sensitive. The family are more than likely pleased that he got death than a statement made.

You mean like kagan, Ginsberg and Sotomayor and brown
Comparing sentencing Bundy to death to soldiers fighting in a just war is an absurdity. Shameful comment!
that was a great closing line - running towards obscurity. might have to steal that.
How is sentencing the most difficult part. Hearing what happened to the victims maybe ?
Because you make a decision on someone's possible life or death.
I think he was talking from a judicial standpoint, not a personal one.
This guy was in the 70s, but had a 1940s sense of style
He grew up in the 40’s if he was 70 at the time of this.
@@hbkgreatestever He was 54 at this time.
@@hbkgreatestever He most certainly did grow up in the 40’s. Didn’t have to be damn near 70 in 1979 to have grown up in the 1940’s.
10:30 - Judge Cowart says we got people been on Death Row for 4 or 5 years (like that is long time).
He was a great judge and truly was impartial and fair as a good judge is supposed to be. I love his accent too
Poor Ted
What's so poor about him?
@@vanessadoravhill9321 He was a human life
