Chandler's fake disability was him manipulating his gf's family to take care of him. He's basically saying he has brain/nerve damage and can't work and probably will be his excuse for dropping out of school. This family was about to adopt a grown man who's own parents were tired of supporting him. What a gross human being.

Man...that kid really had everything. Parents, a girlfriend, and even her family who all loved him dearly. All he had to do was be honest. All his parents were asking for was an ounce of effort on his part. So many lives ripped apart for such a petty, selfish, needless reason. Heartbreaking for both families.

I can’t believe how many people in the live chat are saying she is guilty, too. She is TRAUMATIZED. She looks humiliated and disgusted but is being so strong so she can do her job and get justice for two people she really cared for. I think I would be on the verge of throwing up….

I absolutely love this judge. He is so gracious and considerate of witnesses and the jury, we need more judges like him on the bench.

This is fascinating. So many have expressed feeling uncomfortable when Chandler was present ,not knowing the true horror of what he had done. Trust your gut, your instincts,your spidy senses. We iften talk ourselves out of following our instincts. We tell ourselves we’re being silly or we aren’t being kind . We don’t want to offend anyone. We need to trust ourselves .

I really feel sorry for Cats Mum... She is so scared and look so confused. I get the impression that she is a lovely decent human being... It's really heartbreaking to see her so stressed. I really hope that she and her daughter will get some trauma counselling. It's evident that they are traumatized with everything that happened and now the court case. All must have been a great shock for them. I really feel for these people...

I really feel for Cress and Dolce here. They seem like really nice, private people. How horrible to have your rural sanctuary all out in the public on top of knowing they were betrayed by some sociopath that dumped parts of his father's corpse on that property. So many good people were traumatized by a lazy narcissistic sociopath.

That must have been so hard for Cat. First to have her life flipped upside down, realizing her boyfriend was a complete fraud and on top of that, a murderer! Then having to face him in a televised court case that he got her completely wrapped up in. I can tell she really cared for his family and I’m sure she’s just devastated! What a strong young lady and I hope she can move on and find the happiness she deserves.

It's enraging how Chandler was so concerned about every little ailment yet had absolutely no regard for his mother and fathers body

Anyone else wince when chandler "rinses off" in their pool

The fact he was sending the texts twice when he had “ no connection “ to make it seem like the texts weren’t going through is just so scary to how commit he was to lying 🥴🥴

Ive always felt bad for Cat. I watched her whole interrogation. She seems like the most honest down to earth, very nice person. Most honest person in an interrogation. My heart goes out to her you can see in her chest she is so nervous. I just want to give her a hug poor thing

Poor Chandler….. the stress of losing a fake job and suffering fake injuries must be horrible…..

She must be so creeped out knowing what he did to his parents the day before she slept right near the fireplace in which he tried to cook their decapitated heads and other severed remains. Goodness…I can’t imagine the nightmares she must be having knowing all that info now. Poor girl.

This has been so interesting! And I love this judge, he’s been so respectful of especially the jury and witnesses. Bravo!

This is an all-around heartbreaking case. While not directly relevant to the case, I've been blown away by how warm, kind, and most importantly fair the judge has been thus far. He has also been extremely thorough with regard to making sure the jury has a thorough understanding of the court proceedings every step of the way.

- Were you the one usually paying for the dinners? - I was. - The state rests its case, your honor.

Appreciate being able to re-watch what I missed earlier. Thank you for allowing us to do so same day 💖

This judge is so even-tempered, courteous, professional, and providing/clarifying instructions and information to both the jury and the person testifying; he is a gentleman. Actually, all the lawyers appear to be professional and courteous.

The amount of narcissism and arrogance he must have to think this trial would reflect positively on him or help him in any way is alarming.

This trial is making me very paranoid. The amount of lies this guy told, I feel like I'm gonna have to start asking for paystubs and reference checks from any future partners.

My heart breaks for this young woman and her family 😔. Her poor mother seems like such a sweet person and to have to talk about obviously deeply private things. She just seemed so hurt--her partner seemed like she'd like 5 minutes alone with chandler though. Prayers for all of them 🙏.

God bless Cat and her mother. So heartbreaking seeing their pain of losing a person who obviously meant a great deal to them. That, coupled w/the trauma of the murders, has obviously taken a massive toll on them.

I love the judge so much. He's probably the best I've ever seen with regards to showing respect and giving explanations.

yet again, i had to close the live chat on this trial. the live chatters are disgusting talking about Cat and her mothers that way. I hope the women can find some healing in their life.

My heart goes out to Cat. She was totally blindsided. I believe she will need a lot of therapy and healing. Prayers to her and everyone involved. He is a monster.

What a horrible shock for her and Cat.There is no way they could ever imagine he was capable of this.

Dulce was nervous but i understood everything she was trying to convey! also i applaud her for mentioning that Chandler did NOT swim like a normal person he got in and “washed” himself off. She even made it clear tot the defense that he DID make her feel uncomfortable

The poor mother probably thinking about how much jeopardy she and her daughter had been exposed to the entire time Chandler was involved with her family.

I am heartbroken for Cat. You can *feel* her pain as she’s testifying. She had her entire world ripped apart by Chandler. He was the love of her life and not only was he torn away from her, but in one swift motion she lost her partner and found out he wasn’t the person he told her he was, his entire life was a lie, and he was a *murderer.* Not only that but she lost his family who she loved as well. I kept starting to cry when she did. She is so sweet and you can tell how much she loved Chandler *and* his parents. She did not deserve to be part of any of this. I am heartbroken for her. And Dolce and Cres. I’m a lesbian too and if I was *forced* to *publicly come out* like they were I would be *terrified.* People are insane and I don’t know that Wisconsin is particularly LGBT friendly. And poor Dolce felt so violated that Chandler still got in the pool while Cres wasn’t wearing a top even though she was visibly uncomfortable and clearly did not want him to get in. And you can tell how heartbroken Dolce is for her daughter. She’s so protective of the people she loves. She’s an incredible Mom and partner. Cat and Cres are so lucky to have her. None of them deserve to be part of this mess. If any of them see this- I’m so sorry you went/are going through this. It’s not fair and I’m just so sorry. Im heartbroken for all of you and I wish I could give you all the biggest hug. I cried during all of your testimonies. You’re all such incredible, strong women and I’m so proud of you for getting on the stand and doing such an amazing job. You all killed it and I can’t even imagine how hard it must have been. I’m sending you all so much love- Cat, Dolce, and Cres 🤍 I hope you find peace and that your life is filled with happiness and joy and love for each other and everything you love. And I hope you feel that your farm is a safe, beautiful, sanctuary. I really hope you know who didn’t ruin it for you. I hope you’re at a place where you don’t even have to think about him. Sending you all so much love 🤍🤍🤍

Chandler reminds me of a male Casey Anthony, only instead of it being a child killing, it was a parents killing. She also made up having a job she never had, even going with the detectives to the office building where she claimed she was working and then turned to the detectives right before entering and telling them she no longer worked there.

Thanks for uploading this. It's excellent quality. I feel so terrible for these witnesses. I cannot imagine how horrible this whole ordeal has been for them

I’m convinced dude threw himself down the stairs to avoid going to WORK at his FAKE JOB! 🤔

Oh my goodness can you imagine Every text, Every snap chat, Every message you ever sent to your boyfriend Everyone will read in Print? All your personal moments for all to see. This must be horrible to go through I feel terrible for her. Just 21 on the stand telling the world about her relationship with her murderer boyfriend. Not only murderer, but the murderer of his parents and the dismemberment of their bodies. Sickening.

I couldn’t help but cry with Cat. It was extraordinarily brave of a young woman her age to face a challenge this big. Thank you for helping get justice served! May you and your family find the healing to move past this.

I believe Cat will have a really hard time ever trusting another man. I feel so bad for her and everyone else he hurt.

Thanks for providing comprehensive coverage.

i just want to say: great job james for your input and putting this all together, it must've been very hard to watch real time. respect.

Cat if you read these! You did nothing wrong. You are a strong beautiful loving person. This is a reflection of who Chandler is, has nothing to do with you! I hope you have a full recovery of this traumatic situation and live a great life, with a wonderful partner. May you find peace in the next chapters in your life!

Thank you so much for sharing the entirety of this trial! Much appreciated!!

I really admire the judge's calming demeanor. Thank you so much for sharing these full day's proceedings. Much appreciated. ✌🏻💜😇

I keep waiting for one of the witnesses to look at Chandler and scream I can't believe you're putting us through this!!

That poor girl. She cared more about his parents than he did.

So impressed with the judge and the attorneys. Everyone seems so respectful. You don't always see this. I can not fathom anyone doing something so horrendous let alone to their parents. May they both rest in peace.

Thanks, James! You do a fantastic job.

I hope his poor sweet ex-girlfriend gets tons of therapy. She is devastated by this entire traumatic experience.

Was he trying to frame his girlfriend? I cried watching her testify. She clearly loved him, what an absolute joke of a “ man “. He lost out on a beautiful happy life for what ?! Good luck Cat, you and your family will be happy. You are very lucky. It’s a world worse for Mitch.

My heart goes out to everyone who loved and cared for his parents and other family and friends.

How can anyone not see big red flags in this relationship? Being “grounded” at age 23!!!? Never paid for lunch or dinner, lofty lies about high class jobs 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, what puzzles me, is that his father, who was a meticulous accountant, who was very careful and conservative with money, would not pay the college tuition directly to the college and make sure he has proof of payment. 🤔

Thank you for covering this trial.

Thank you for this. It's so horrific, yet it's fascinating. I can't remotely imagine that this happened; it's incredible to watch the trial.

I have so much compassion for this lady. She did great being as nervous as she was. Hope she and her daughter are healing

So strange Cat paid for their dates, never saw evidence of a job, no college enrollment evidence dating this man for 1-2 years. No car. Wow!

How can such a person think that being exposed as a liar 🤥 is worse than being exposed as a murderer.

I haven’t noticed Chandler consistently wear his glasses in the court room EXCEPT for when Cat was on the stand.. then he had them on and as soon as she was excused, he took them off 😳 He’s a freaking weirdo 💯

These poor defense lawyers don’t have a leg to stand on! The evidence is beyond overwhelming! He’s going to prison for life without a doubt

Gross that he was using the pool as a bath essentially.

As soon as Cat started crying I started crying 😭 she seems like a wonderful person

Can you imagine being on the stand and they’re showing you pics you took of your boyfriend in the shower? You know there’s more racier pics they’ve seen and you have to keep your composure. I’d be worried people think I’m covering for him in some way I’d be embarrassed they know all my personal moments and I’d be disgusted I didn’t see what a sick person I was seriously dating. This poor girl.

I'm not understanding why most of the ppl in the live chat are saying that Cat helped him. I dont get that vibe AT ALL. The poor girl is traumatized she trusted this man and look at everything he did, right under her nose. Imagine being 21, and realizing your first serious boyfriend committed the heinous murder, and had you and your family implicated in it, without any of you guy's knowledge. She most definitely had NOTHING to do with this, I don't even understand why and how so many ppl seem to think so. My heart goes out to her, cause she's gonna have such a tough time ever trusting another man.

The number of people he has hurt is innumerable….the Halderson family, their dear close friends, Cat, Dulce and Cres….all these people have had their lives so damaged…..I think Dulce and Cres are just the sweetest kindest couple…..

Who gets grounded at 23 years old ?

moral of the story girls, skip the dating/relationship junk till out of college, then your options for the right guy will increase dramatically.

I did not realize witnesses ask for so many breaks like Cat and her mom. I dont remember ever seeing it before.

Just because he said he was grounded doesn’t mean he actually was, so many lies already.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you so much for the full length video Channel 3000, with that being said, i can't understand why Dulce Mellender didn't use a translator, Spanish is my main language and I can tell she restrained herself from speaking due to her lack of vocabulary and also nervousness but the language here was stopping her from elaborating her responses

Cat has said more kind things about his parents than he has, playing victim & slandering his father😡💔

After listening to her and Chandler's jail calls, now I see why she was testifying like this. She was STILL in love and STILL talking over the phone with him. So sad, I hope her eyes are finally open!

Nothing says “Time for lunch” like pictures of a decomposing torso…

THANK YOU for posting!

Her English might not be great for expressing herself, but her face and emotions says it all. She knew he was creepy af

I feel so bad for Cat. You can literally see her analyzing all the lies he told her and getting emotional. Falling in love with someone can be scary.

What Moran dumps a body in daylight at a home with the owner present

feel sorry for girlfriend's mom, how traumatic; to think her daughter could have married to a guy capable of acting out Texas chainsaw massacre.

Thank you for the full and complete coverage. Some of us have jobs and can't watch the whole day live lol

Chandler lying so deceptively with such bizarre depth makes me think he was a Narcissistic Sociopath. He needed everyone to believe he was important.

These poor ladies were definitely taken advantage of by Chandler. I hope Cat and her family are able to heal from this. I can’t imagine the hurt they feel by being deceived by this monster.

It's incredible that everyone trusted him so much that it NEVER crossed their mind that he was the one who took both of his parents' lives.He obviously had a good support system. Why didn't he ask for help from any of them before resorting to such a drastic solution?

Cat, I can't imagine the betrayal you feel having to go back through these events word for word and knowing what these texts really were for... knowing the person you loved lied about absolutely every single thing he ever said and had no qualms involving you by disposing of his parents on your families property, inviting you to sleep over every night for days on end at the ongoing crime scene. I hope you get proper counselling because not only is the act he did abhorrent, but his willing and deliberate involvement of you and your family is so psychologically damaging and unfathomable, you can go insane trying to make sense of it.

All this head injury allegations yet he's out driving about ??? Really dude

So the defense attorney is going to ask about Star Wars and that's about it? Hmm this is going to be the quickest jury deliberation in history.

My goodness, the change in Cat’s energy is sooo different to her energy in the police interviews. She was so free spirited and optimistic and lively in her interviews before she found everything out…Now, her eyes seem like there so little energy or life left in them. The spark in her her eyes and energy is completely gone. Perhaps not the closest analogy, but reminds me of how my eyes and energy were before I got into an abusive relationship for almost 2 years…and by the time I escaped that relationship, my eyes had no life left in them (even when smiling) and the spark in my energy was completely gone. Trauma and reality (if bad enough) does such horrible things to your physical energy & physical presentation. The eyes alone can usually tell a thousand words.

I love how patient and kind the judge is to the witnesses and the way he explains things they might not get to them!!! I wish more judges were this nice!!! ❤❤

It's like the Joel Guy Jr thing again. Crazy

Oh come on, if we the viewers are invested in watching every day of this trial, we should be able to see all evidence photos.

props to the judge for giving her a break before cross-examination.

How did he think , for one second this WOULDNT come back to him?

The moment you realize your Snapchat snooping got your boyfriend busted!🤦🏻‍♀️ Dohh!

From what I can tell court TV and law&crime both lost their life streams of this hearing today, towards the end! Thankfully, I found it here!

Poor Cat, she was visibly sick during her testimony... I feel for her so much. I hope she does NOT for a second think how fool she was to believe the lies that the sociopath told her. I hope she knows that one simply CANNOT be smart enough to recognize a sociopath. Been there, Cat. 💗 It was and is not you, believe me. I hope she is coping and holding up. 🌹 this is going to be a long road for her mental health-wise. 💗

On top of the emotional pain of finding out the man you love is a cold blooded murderer & that the parents body part were there when she slept over, the fact that he brought that horror to the ‘farm” of her mothers partner must eat at her. A place of Beauty & peace is now tainted with blood of the Halderson parents. How do you not think about the torso being there whenever you walk about the land.

I have mad respect for both teams of lawyers and the judge. They are so nice to the witnesses and very good at explaining what is happening in court. I’m watching this right after the JD/AH trial where a certain team treated the opposing witnesses as hostile. This is so nice to see even with the gruesome, gruesome details of this case.

I pray she meets someone who makes her forget she knew this killer! Horrible what she must be feeling and experiencing mentally.

I do feel bad for Cat, but it is interesting that she continued to talk to Chandler after his dad's torso was found and the gun in the barn. I find it hard to believe she didn't know these things and didn't discuss it with her mom and Cress. Cress despises him!

My theory: he spun a web of lies that he couldn’t get out of. He simultaneously wanted to have everything handed to him by his parents yet didn’t want to live by the rules of their house (get a job, go to school, etc.). All that mixed with a personality disorder led to the murders. Such a sad story. You can tell by the witnesses and texts the mom sent she really loved her kids.

As a mother of two young adults, I just wanted to reach inside the screen and hug Cat! The poor, young, innocent and trusting girl, was another victim of that madman! I’m soooo glad she escaped him unharmed…..my heart goes out to her! 🙏❤️🙏

I feel so sorry for the people that came across the remains. You can tell they still feel the effects. The worst of it is that the perpetrator probably doesn't understand their disgust. He KNOWs they are disgusted, but he doesn't know how to feel it. I hope he gets psychiatric help in prison, though I don't know if that would help. Just horrific.

Defense: "Objection!" Judge: "... to what?" Defense: "She might say something I think but idk" The prosecution's attorneys are batting in a completely different league than these interns lol

This poor family. So many lives he destroyed. Physically and mentally. It's scary you dont know someone..until you know them.
