👍👍👍

She is one classy and intelligent prosecutor-in both trials.

I think she is amazing!

She is such an amazing and talented attorney!

Well, there IS a precedent of asfixiation by a bag over the head... that is how JJ was killed. I forget, did the police find out where Alex was the night Tammy was murdered? Did he have an alibi?

He Actually called it Murder 😂

@@auntieree He certainly did. 🫣🤪

It's a murder case........

16:11 holy you’re right I totally missed this yikes

I think he should have said 'for murder', but he may have stepped in it with this error

Same! Especially since when Emma testified she stated at least twice that Chad saw Tammy die. Once was in response to John Prior asking whether she thought Chads grief for Tammys death was genuine even though he had already been in an affair with Lori for some time. Emma said something along the lines of….My dad might have been in an affair with Lori but I know he respected my mom as a person and was traumatized to see her die. The other time she says it, I cant remember what it was in response to because I didn't catch it. A content creator did and made a video about it. I clicked on the video thinking she had heard what I heard and it turned out to be a completely different statement about Chad seeing Tammy die than I had caught. It made me start to wonder just how much Emma knows and how long has she known it for? I had a feeling she knew some of what was going on and probably not for long but now I'm starting to think that Emma knows a lot more than I thought and I think she might have been in his close confidence for a long time.

​@@brookelyn1349She lives in the house her mother died! Not to mention the poor kids her own mom she doesn't seem to care about. She cried for her dad Prior wanted one of the kids to act sad, but I guess they're teachers not actors. I cannot believe they are teachers!

Seemed like he was talking in generalities and it was just a slip. But still a mistake.

She's the best on that team. She does her homework and is ready when she starts her questioning

No you need them all to

@@lisedale6767 if one heard it and remembers it, then that juror will bring it up in deliberation and ALL jurors will know(and can even review that part of testimony). yw

BINGO! 🎯🔥

I think that was taken out of context

@@jeanwilson9925 Emma said that he was traumatized and sad because he saw his wife die. That detail was NOT a part of any of Chud's many versions of how it happened.

Oohhh, I missed that!

He said MURDER!!!! Omg!

I agree. It wouldn't have come out that way otherwise.

That was huge to me. Chad’s medical examiner witness was only given a very small amount of the evidence, and that small amount was only what the defense wanted her to see. She was not even close to being an expert witness about this victim or her cause of death.

He may be a defense attorney, but he also knows how guilty his defendant is

@@JPop1240well said. Well said

Agreed! 💯

Exactly! THE and not A!!!

Me too! Although… appeals…

I totally missed that!

I think he slipped up

Same! Almost choked on my water!

None of his experts brought anything to the table that wasn't there. When the guy said something like 'absence of evidence is absence of guilt' it really only brings in none of the hairs were Chad's which the prosecution already established.

@@ninarobinson393 Actually, the correct saying is "the absence of evidence is NOT the proof of innocence." And in this case, we have TONS of evidence.

@gaiagreen2690 thank you I couldn't recall. But he went on to try saying something like he realized it is. I think he could say Chad didn't leave hair behind but it doesn't prove he wasn't there.

Additionally, she couldn't explain the bruises on the arms AND she did allow for the possibility of more than one person being involved in what might have been a murder. FAR too many open "might have beens" for Pryor's tactic of creating credible doubt. The absence of evidence is not the proof of innocence - and we already have TONS of evidence.

Yes, and especially if a mans knee was pushing into her chest. Not a thorough defense Medical Examiner. She is not a pleasant person to listen to. Unlike the witnesses for the prosecution. Hired experts must appeal to all with their demeanor and likeability. This lady looks and sounds like a dud!

It also allows for a relatively quiet , clean murder scene that Garth would not have noticed anything when he came home.

Or the fact that JJ had a bag placed over his head so it doesn’t rule out that MO by these killers

@@Nurseydogmomexactly what I said

Back on December 21,2000 when my brother was murdered at work while helping his boss close her business for the day and two armed robbers came in, as both my brother and his boss stood holding their hands and arms up over their heads, the armed robbers shot my brother in his heart. While police officers and Detectives were there on scene the coroner finally showed up, BUT instead of going around the store counter to get a close look at my dead brother, that coroner only leaned over the counter, and barely glancing at my dead brother that stupid, incompetent coroner declared “shot in the back of the head”. ALL the L.E.O.’s there on scene knew that my brother was shot through his heart and a MEDICAL Examiner who performed his autopsy found ONLY ONE bullet wound, through his heart.

kimdeb..., 100%. Good point.

😂😂😂😂

Amen. I made that same comment. She was confirmation biased by the defense.

Hope you never get called for jury duty. You should only consider evidence and testimony

Did he do that on purpose is my question so it’s an appellate issue?

I agree.

The court cannot spend time reviewing “what I meant to say….” He said it. Plain & simple.

It's always easier to remember the truth than it is a lie

Prior's not death certified, which was his reason for reaching out to this ratliffe dude.

And do you think that thousand bucks changed hands? I think Prior cooked that whole Ratliff thing up. That’s why Ratliff didn’t care about the monetary sanctions. He was out maybe the 130 to Prosecution.

There are many Public Defender Death certified lawyers, who make less than the prosecutors ($135,000 per year). One big difference is that Prosecutors pay is just that. The $350 per hour paid to private attorneys pays themselves, law firm split which includes staff, rents etc.. It is not uncommon for private attorneys to get paid 10-30 of their billed hourly fees...depending on how the law firm divides pay, generally based on how long the attorney has worked for the firm etc.... $350 per hour is not that high for private criminal defense attorneys.

He has to defend the undefendable thats why 😂

What you fail to add is they get holidays off, only work 8-5, get insurance, 401k , paid expenses in addition to their salary. Whereas private attorneys don't have these luxury. Further more state attorneys get paid every day if they have a case or not. Private nope.

He was my first thought when prosecution said that

I’m so glad that I wasn’t the only one who made that connection. Hopefully the jurors did too

When is verdict?

​@@lumanwalters_Prior is ready to wrap up. Closing statements should take a couple of days. Late next week maybe.

Crossing fingers X

pETER. I would love to hear your thoughts on the Christopher Gregory case some of the judges rulings we trial watchers need some input from an lawyer like yourself. I know Daybell is huge trial right now and other high profile cases are not being covered. Maybe in the future you could look into that case

Not really

Oh wow I never put that together !

This was my exact thought!!!

The jury will only be thinking about JJ re the plastic bag... Those images will be consistently in the forefront of their mind with the bag idea

Agree

Yes

💯

yes it was a bit rich of prior mentioning confirmation bias when literally the def witness is paid for to lean towards the defense.. like pot calling the kettle black. for me, the list of documents (blake stated) this Dr. didnt review is much more substantial info because of what she eventually came up with "undetermined". but "the murder" slip-up is just his subconscious pushing it forward.

I agree with you. He's doing an amazing job, considering he isn't even getting paid and asked to be recused from the case. He is showing real professionalism. I bet he doesn't like Chad, either.

He's getting paid. Chad signed his property over to him for starters ​@suzys9098

​@@suzys9098 yes true but mind he wanted the publicity . He is the reason the trial is televised and public. He promotes himself. He knows his good and publicity helps to get more clients . He wanted out when he realized the money are short in Chad's portal.

I call it a "Freudian Slip!"

@@suzys9098he could of asked to leave once they ruled the case could be a DP case. not the week before trial

Yes, that's what I believe as well. It's to be appreciated that he tries to do his job to the best of his powers and knowledge. He is a very good lawyer. He is really defending his client.

Exactly!

There is no defense for Prior for what he's doing.

Freudian slips are an unintentional error regarded as revealing subconscious feelings. And that is EXACTLY what prior did. Whoooopsie….

It is astonishing how many Americans confuse strutting around, aggressive speech, bullying the witnesses, being disrespectful, insulting and fat shaming dead victims, sl*t shaming women etc. with good lawyering! Actually, a good lawyer is not about courtroom theatrics and being a primitive, misogynist peacock. It is all about good manners, logical thinking, excellent examining skills, having a clear strategy, finding irrefutable arguments, quick thinking and connecting the dots. It is about legal competence, like Lindsay Blake has it. Pryor might be a colourful showman, but a murder trial is not about seeking attention, it is a solemn quest for justice for the victims.

Yeah. I think defence attorneys are immensely important to the system, but I can't imagine what it's like to know/believe your client committed such awful crimes but still have to do your job.

I don't think Chad's children (the ones that testified) think /believe Chad is guilty. To me, they sounded like they drink his Kool-Aid & honestly are REALLY odd people!

And he his one lawyer fighting the powerful state with many lawyers probably exhausted

Indeed.

Me too!

Absolutely. First thing I thought of

They are considered unindicted co-conspirators.

On attny’s part, most likely - tho it may be a common legal tactic to only provide certain documents for an expert & they hope prosecution doesn’t question it as they did here? But yeah, seems like she should have had - or at least requested - ALL RELEVANT DOCS anyone else had

😄 Bingo! We have ALL noticed Pryor's attempts to manipulate the jury by doing exactly what he was accusing others of, and after so many days listening to his clown show, the jury will have noticed that too.

Yeeeah, hey foreign watcher, greetings from Germany 😁

Hello from salt lake city utah USA

You can change the speed yourself in settings at the top of your screen.

@@debmidwest6596I think that he does the speed fast since most have already watched that portion of the trial. So I guess he hopes that you remember that portion of it.

I missed it, until it was pointed out when replayed

Prior not very good at this

Wow!

My bf is a prosecutor. He is paid about 20% of what a defense atty makes.

I’m in Northern lower Michigan 👋👋👋

@@barbarabannasch3458 I should’ve worded it differently. I’m not in the Up I’m in Northern lower MI on Lake Huron 🙋‍♀️🤗

@@kimzwolinski9919 I am too!!!!!

1000% correct! Spot on!! I don't trust him either. I understand ensuring reasonable doubt but if you have to lie or misrepresent testimony then you're about as believable as an ocean in the middle of the US. If I were a juror I'd have a hard time believing his witnesses or anything that he tried to prove because he comes across as so dishonest.

Its not enough. They all have to believe hes guilty without doubt. Its the defense that only needs one person to doubt the prosecution.

@@lisedale6767 Fortunately, Pryor is essentially only trying to create doubt about Tammy's death, and I don't think he is succeeding. There are no doubts whatsoever about Tylee and JJ, however, and only a single one of those murders is enough for a life sentence or a DP. With a dead woman in his bed, two dead children in his garden and so much evidence of his murderous cultic teachings, there is no way Chud is EVER going to see freedom again. That jury is not stupid.

But the Defense wouldn't, because they are paying her to say what they want her to say. They would only pass on to her what benefits their side.

I get bit by bit used to listening to slurry talking Peter in .75 speed 😅

@@e.k.4508 hang in there -- it'll get easier:)

Me too. I made the same comment. Believe only the murderers, because they were the only ones present for the murder.

And I can still hear Melanie on that call with L.& C saying I think you're being deceived by the devil

😂 Same here!

They believe the lie their father told them.

@@JudeNanceeither that or they were in on it. Or both. Maybe they believed the lie about her being dark so thought they needed to help get rid of her demons or whatever it was he said about her

At the very least, medical records would matter -- a lot more than what the husband said!

I believe the answer is no! I don’t think they are allowed to know that.

They might know that from before Chad's trial started, but, it can't be brought up or discussed in court. They can only consider evidence heard in court.

Good question

Good question

Live stream the verdict please if you can

i googled Sudden Cardiac Death. In an adult of Tammy's age it it normally not without evidence.

When I remember how Lori had a team who didn't do very much and see Prior working this hard without any assistance, I'm more impressed by the job he's doing. I still think things look grim for Chad and will be surprised if all three murder charges don't result in guilty verdicts. (But if there's doubt, it could be in Tammy's death, unfortunately.)
