Yeah, those kids were ass holes. But you can’t and should not be allowed to respond with deadly force when your life is far from being in danger

No, this makes sense since that's what happened first and law enforcement would ask how SHE was involved in this scenario

I believe that’s probably why we haven’t seen her. I had thought this exact thing. Immediately as the police arrive all she can say “I got punched in the face” I thought to myself heifer, I want to punch you myself. Even dude behind her is stabbed and he is screaming for them to go help the other people. Damn I wish she would never walked over to the group of buys (trying to help eye roll 🙄) she literally thru the match… (figuratively speaking) Now i don’t blame her 100 percent but with her being so arrogant it’s hard not shift a little fault towards her part. I’m not going to lie though, I’m getting really bad vibes from the defendant. Something is definitely off. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this invested in the outcome of this trial. My opinion goes back and forth and I don’t think anybody at this point could know what the outcome will be. My heart breaks for Isaac and his mama.

Everyone else immediately tries to alert the officers that there are 2 people who have been gravely injured. Their first priority was getting their friends help. One of them had even been stabbed as well, but he was worried about saving the life of his friends instead of his own well being. Meanwhile, Madison‘s first priority was making sure the officers knew what happened to her! Her friend was literally holding his intestines in hands, but hey that’s nothing compared to what Madison went through.

​@@Ararechan74NO That doesn't make sense. The teenagers she claimed to be attempting to defend and members of her own group were injured and bleeding out, her concern didn't fall on them at that time, she wasn't in need of emergency attention, you didn't hear her say OMG, GET YOUR F*^KN AZZ down the river and help my friends and the teenagers, NO, but you did hear her "he hit me in the face" that's a clear indication she's been in trouble making 💩 before and she knows to create a reason why, to save HER azz for being the 2nd biggest instigating idiotic.

He touched them first it simple they were defending them self there was no reason to touch the kids

@@alejandroandmariasoto2102 But he didn’t touch them first. That’s one thing each witness agrees on & Jawan’s own testimony was that Miu grabbed his tube but didn’t touch him. Miu then walked 20+ yards down stream in retreat. But the teenagers followed him and continued their assault. I personally think Miu was probably going to flip Jawan’s tube for calling him a raper, but he didn’t touch anyone first.

Agree. I think her not wanting to be shown is very telling. She had no business to insert herself.

Interesting how Dantes group claim to have moved in to help calm things down but actually responsible for escalated the incident and the individual AJ who "never fights" pushed the suspect back into the water to"keep him down". The video is the best evidence for the defense and thank goodness for it. Most of the witnesses have lied based on the evidence.

@@paulab303 yes! My favorite parts from AJ’s testimony was when he claims he learned how to hold people down from working with elementary school kids (lol WTF?) and how he claims it was Miu (whilst down in the water) placed himself in front of his push. How ironic considering it was AJ’s lunge when face to face with Miu that caused him to get eviscerated (after holding Miu face first into the water, mind you). AJ was by far the worst liar of them all and they clearly corroborated their story. The claim the teens called for “help” all the way down to their role in giving that “help”.

Did we watch the same trial? 13 people beating and holding him down trying to drown him. You're as big a drama queen as Miu is!

Has everyone forgot when he first touch any of them ? He charged their tubes and grabbed their legs from the beginning.

agree!! his witnesses are horrible and puts him in a horrible spot. The defense attorney is skilled!!

Agreed!!! Ridiculous how badly they SUCK!! He started out good with opening statement but that’s it!!! Terrible!! The defense is very good at confusing the witnesses and putting words in their mouths. I can’t believe the prosecution is not objecting!!

Considering how much of a deal that the defense is making about Maddie’s lack of injury after getting hit, I expected the prosecution to take their cue & think about asking the deputy’s & wife more about injuries to Nic’s face after a supposed “beat down” by a crowd. I think it’s even more consequential about his lack of facial injuries.

@@lindalemus3815 you are right on!! I did too (have to stop watching a bit). I’m not a lawyer, but the defense seems to be getting away with a lot of leading the witness. Also, that judge is not having it!!😂

Then started screaming pedo get away to incite a riot. He started walking away and the girls from the other group came over and started grabbing him and telling him to go down River (when his group was up River and they were blocking his way out), he waved to his friends, put his arm up to block Matti from shoving him, then got pushed in the water, hit, punched, slapped, shoved down when he tried getting back up. He had every right to pull his knife out in self defense. Nobody should be excusing these little brats behavior.

He was not minding his own business; he was initiating contact by making comments about looking for young girls. He could've stfu and left the area, went back to his friends.

​@@CarrieV9 LMAO. They pleaded with him? By screaming at the top of their lungs r*per, pedo, predator? Laughing and making fun of him the whole time? Jesus, I'd hate to see how your kids behave. They're all entitled, egotistical football players who think they're the shit. Miu was minding his own business snorkeling. If they'd have floated by and STFU NONE of this would have happened. But that's what you get when you raise kids who are never taught respect, discipline or denied anything. You get animals. That's what those boys were. They should have been charged for underage consumption and assault after they pushed him down. Instead they laughed hysterically. They all FAFO.

what really got me was AJ's friend holding pressure and being loud to keep him awake. as the camera is covered a bit you hear her yell "I know I'm annoying." and "youre doing SO good AJ you're doing great you're going to be fine". you can tell she's very emotional but doesn't have the chance to be because she is being strong for him.

@@SusieQ1971 Thank you for clarifying. 🕊️💟 Great information.

Yes, anyone can sue anyone…whether a judge throws it out without the suit being heard is another matter. I would think most of the victims should be able to sue both the defendant (for being stabbed- when they were not armed) in this case and the guy starting “the riot”… Jawaan - I think is his name. Nicolae could sue now but he would be in a much better place to sue once he is acquitted (if he is). I think he could sue Jawaan for defamation “Raper” … “looking for girls” and videoing the comments for all to see/hear. Don’t know if he would win due to first amendment rights… however, as it could be argued this entire incident took place due to Jawaan’s “statements” about Nicolae… he might have a chance. Nicolae could also sue the men that hit/shoved him down for assault civilly… it’s much easier to win a civil suit then a criminal case. If Nicolae is acquitted he could also sue the City, the prosecution, etc. as he has been in jail all this time for “defending himself” AND they should not have arrested him or filed charges against him. A great example of this is the OJ Simpson cases… the jury acquitted him due to they thought the prosecution did NOT prove the suspect’s “guilt beyond a reasonable doubt”. In the civil case the victims families were able to prove their case by a “preponderance of the evidence”, meaning that their version of events is more likely right than wrong. I think the physically injured parties and the criminally injured party all have a good chance at winning civilly…DEPENDING ON THE ATTORNEYS they choose and their reasons for suing. I’ve heard the only reason he and his wife went through their divorce in March of 2024 was due to all the possible civil suits being filed if and when he is found guilty (if he is). I am sure he has been extremely generous in his divorce “giving ALL ASSETS TO HIS former wife”! If this was truly the reason they divorced. They could also say “of course he gave everything (home, savings, etc.) to his wife is because he felt terrible about putting her in this situation AND he thought he might be going to prison for years”.

@@lisawhite4698 wow I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

@@patriciabarajas7925 sorry I wrote a book!

Miu is not charged for 1st degree murder but first-degree intentional homicide

The thing is that nobody was afraid of anyone up to the point where Miu swings at Maddison. Every one of them was free to leave. But because the crowd surrounded the defendant there's that reasonable doubt that anyone in defendant's position would be in fear for their life and try to defend themselves. That's what it legally boils down to. IMO

The boys are laughing hysterically and taunting, even when Miu falls in the water.

He did try to exit, that's when Ryhley and Madison cut him off and started screaming in his face and pushing him 🤦‍♀️ none of those drunken, sadistic idiots are victims

Nick walked away 2 times and the boys followed, screaming and taunting him with the worst things you could call a Man. He was walking away when they screamed R*PER! What Man wouldn't be pissed by that? He still doesn't resort to violence until he's surrounded by 13 drunk people. Then, I believe he pushed Maddison's face out of his and the drunken idiots thought he punched her. By law, those women grabbing and pushing him is assault. I hope he gets off on self defense and sues the shit out of ALL 13 people or their families.

Self defensr not guilty

Yea that's another good point...I hear you

💯

He was in shock. Every single witness told police things that weren’t true, meaning they remembered it wrong even right after it happened. Have you never seen someone after a bad car accident (even when they’re not severely hurt) just walking around like a zombie, not making sense in the things they’re saying? Extreme stress can make you shut down mentally and you go into this autopilot mode. I have PTSD and one time someone slammed a door in my face and I blacked out and woke up 14 hours later, having no recollection of punching the wall, walking to my room, closing the door, and crawling into bed. I didn’t even know I could punch a hole in a wall (I’m a woman) and I learned all this from my friend who was at my house with me. I’m telling you, some people completely blank out under extreme stress. For all we know, he doesn’t even remember the incident. He must take the stand.

I agree with you-and you bet that, if I were sitting on that jury, the way Miu behaved after the stabbing wouldn’t help him. I get the self-defense argument and I’m sympathetic to him, but I feel that not rendering aid, not identifying himself to the police, attempting to blend in and leave, all those behaviors suggest consciousness of guilt rather than suggesting a man who was victimized, genuinely feared for his life, defended himself, and then did what he could to clear up the situation once the cops showed up. Had he called 911 after the stabbing, and had he approached the officers even if only to say ‘hey, I’m the guy you’re looking for, I acted in self-defense because 13 of them surrounded me, showed me, and I thought they were about the drown me , and now I need a lawyer,’ I would be more persuaded of the merits of the self-defense claim, I think.

@@PneumaNoose and all of those people he stabbed that thought they were helping kids and just out for a fun time with their friends…(and the one he killed) weren’t in shock? Hmmm? 🤔

What I learned from the Darrell Brooks trial is the only thing you can ask a witness about their convictions is 1) have you been convicted of a crime and if so then 2) how many times. So that’s the law in Wisconsin and not on this judge.

Because they are all mostly trash. Some of the girls look like addicts. Sores on their faces, unwashed hair, two of the guys were asked about having a criminal record, they both answered yes! The whole group is Sus.

Diddo my thoughts exactly!!!

He ran up to them, grabbing their tubes and touched their legs, Jawahn's and Landon's. That's assault. G1 was definitely behaving badly before that. Quinton saw him touching their tubes from behind before going in front of them which is when Jawahn started the video. He did it because Miu was not verbally communicating well enough. He was mostly non-verbal when he approached a group of drunk young people. His friend, Eric encouraged him not to go over to the group of strangers. He did it anyway to look for a phone. But, he didn't communicate clearly and didn't respond to them verbally like a normal person. Instead he ran up and lunged towards Jawahn and Labdon. He had his snorkel in his mouth when he was running up to them. He looked for it after he touched them. A lot of bad happened from him, from G1 to him and from G2 because apparently Maddie and Ryhley touched him. He never needed to use a knife. He could have communicated SOMETHING and done do to deescalate the whole. He might be on the autism spectrum which might explain why he was mostly non-verbal the entire time. If a normal person walked up to a group of strangers they woud be saying a lot and explain why they were so close to their bodies, in this case, their tubes. No one should have touched another person in the first part and the second part which includes G2. G1 didn't touch him. G2 was defending Maddie. A lot of actions and reactions were wrong.

Why don't you tell us

Chriafisi got Rittenhouse off. OMG. 😮 all in all he won 8 of 9 cases in good old Wisconsin. You are right he is a beast😢😮

Besides he punched a woman in the face.

The guy is being bully by these teenagers He did not intervene them Why stop and ask what was he doing. They think they can call anyone anything they want because they are teenagers. Is they what they learn from school?

I think the kids were being obnoxious but were too immature to realize that ppl would react that way to the threat of what they were accusing him of

Ive been in a fight, with a knife on my person and didnt pull it out. He had no cause to take it to deadly force. If they were trying to crush his skull with a bat or a rock, things wouldve been different, but thats not hap'd/ This was a minor dust-up. He even stabs the guy that went over to help him.

She wasn't. It's in the video, half a second after her allegedly being hit she's still right there in his face screaming obscenities with her buddies then he gets knocked over. Just like they say he was looking for little girls. They need excuses to convict him

You're not wrong

Yea your right unfortunately he used poor judgment and took it to the extreme that's why I say to young people or anyone for that matter not to taunt or make fun someone for you know not what state of mind their in!and they shouldn't have been drinking underage it's bad enough for some adults,what we have here is a deadly chemical mixture of events and personality at the same time and it exploded these are serious times folk we need to be sober and vigilant!

He didn't stop them from floating on. Those young men were just as able as he was to walk away. 6 young athletes couldn't have been in fear of this single older man. Their heckles and sneering laughter certainly doesn't show they were scared.

Exactly. The Jury needs to consider all Miu's lies. An innocent person doesn't have the need nor desire to lie in my opinion, maybe some innocent people do, but it's a really bad move to do that. Now of course he was being harassed by those young men, but all he had to do was leave, or just not even approach them in the first place. Everyone was not in the right here. Many made poor choices and it all ended how it ended. No one wins.

Exactly! Like I mentioned above… I think he’d be better off claiming temporary insanity because he just snapped and I don’t think he really meant to kill anyone, but the fact is that he did and tried to hide it. He would’ve just gone straight home if the police wouldn’t have caught up with him at the end of the river. He was definitely trying to evade law enforcement and if what he claims really happened.. he should’ve called 911 himself on the teens before he started slashing them with a knife, or at least called 911 afterwards to get someone to help them right away.. he didn’t neither he just went on about his business like nothing ever happened.

Right? They were grown enough to be drinking but just “kids” when it comes to being accountable for their actions.

Nothing to do with size. It's hardly an excuse or a pass to act a fool this way but... yeah, those are children based on the age of their brain. At that age,.. consequence, logic, and self control has not fully developed. Sure, there are kids that mature faster than others and also other factors that determine someone's demeanor. Obviously, they're not toddlers. I'm not even arguing for or against anyone in this comment. I'm only saying that regardless of your opinion on where to lay the blame, it's inconceivable that you are actually associating maturity with physical size.

The six teenagers didn’t show any worry that they ate afraid of this guy. They are making fun of this guy and having the fun of their lives and even make this video to prove it Calling people name, laughing, asking for help, very afraid, wowwww

​@@mylifefornickI think the "victims" are largely responsible for that. They have been rather obviously lying on the stand and in prior statements. They come across as extremely untrustworthy and unlikable.

Amazing how much so many of them, like all of them cant remember. Seems to me its something i probably couldnt forget ever. And even bigger. They all claim they seen him hit her. But yet most couldnt say what hand or how even ? and the ones that did claim what hand and how ? appeared to be guessing. smh

All these people are lying Their story changed after seeing the video. The girl they claim got hit, not event wanted to show her injuries from claiming she got punched

I’m betting my money on he WILL take the stand. And if you’re gonna claim Miu lied to police then they all lied to police. They were all in shock, they all got it wrong. He needs to take the stand to explain his fear.

very well said. I believe there was some sort of commotion between Miu and Cohen, like swatting at a fly, but she was not punched. This was the excuse they needed to show off for one another.

When I put myself in his shoes I come up with the same question over and over: Why did he leave and Why did he willingly go back to the threat? It makes it seem like he went back to get the knife . And trying to hide the weapon and leave after the fact doesn't make him look good either. It seemed like they were all drinking They all were in the wrong and someone lost their life over ego. Senseless.

@@Ipetam yes everyone is in the wrong. He has been in jail 2 years awaiting trial and will probably serve more… the kids should have been charges with disorderly conduct, menacing, and harassment. Sports scholarships revoked AT LEAST

i put my self in miu shoes. i would of told the kds/young adults im looking for a phone heck i would of ask them to help me look lol. but the video doesn't show miu doing that. it shows them calling miu a pedo then he approach them he didn't have to but he did. it really all could of been prevented. i do believe both side needs to be held accountable for their actions.

You people are nuts, this has nothing to do with self defense. No one else had a weapon. Just because people call you a pedophile and a rapist and tell you to get the f out of here does NOT give you the right, to punch a woman in her face and stab 5 people, killing 1. Maybe in freaking Russia, but not here. If this had anything to do with self defense, Mui would have stayed to tell LE his story. He wouldn’t toss his knife into an area and then once caught say to the sheriff, “So there was a stabbing and I fit the description.” Wtf. That psychopath better get life without parole.

I noticed that too, he definitely seems biased.

I thought the judge had been great but I am married to Delphi. Her name is Judge Gull if anyone wants to see an unprecedented, shameless display of bias. Further attempts to have her recuse herself are pending June 2024

because of experience in life. because of hormones and biology.

​@@lccsd2392 If that guy had any experience he would've left instead of coming back. You don't walk away from so called danger only to come back... that's lack of knowledge and experience. Also shows a lack of maturity by the so called adult.

@@treecooper8557 Did I say that Miu showed any mature problem solving skills? No, I just answered frobaggins6. As a matter of fact I agree with you if what you are saying is that only a belligerent fool walks away from an no win situation only to return with a weapon and determination to not only threaten people with it but to use it to maim and kill. The guy is surely guilty of that.

@@lccsd2392 I understand that/agree with you. I guess I was more or less mentioning it in the context that if the ages were reversed and a group of 50 year old men were antagonizing a teenager, all that matters is what caused someone to pull a knife and use it with intent to harm

If you don’t know then you won’t understand.

Yes, if he experienced ptsd as a child, he would respond differently…also his eyes would dilate in times of stress even more than others do when in distress, fear etc

I’m about 10 or so years younger than Miu, and was also born and grew up in Romania before (and for some years after) the 1989 revolution. I was under the impression that Miu immigrated to the US before 1989, but I deduced this based on his attorney’s opening statement which was somewhat ambiguous. Personally, I find Miu’s facial expressions and overall physical demeanor bizarre, at best and disturbing, at worst. While most Romanians are not nearly as effusive and physically expressive as many Americans are, we do emote, respond, and engage appropriately with the world. Those of us that grew up during Ceausescu’s years might be more reserved and less likely to volunteer personal information, but this guy seems to have his very own pathology. He’s blank, stunned and not all there in an extreme way that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. This is a weird Miu thing; it’s not ‘pre-1989 Romanian’ thing. Dude’s an oddball of colossal proportions.

@@coriolisse I couldn't understand his emotionless state especially after critically injuring someone and seriously injuring others. Something is not right.

Seriously yes why no charges against drunk in public by under age kids. What’s up with that?

Also the “kids” should be charged with assault.

Also I really think Mui was afraid. He was being pushed down repeatedly by young strong intoxicated me. Out of control situation..so scary.

They were reacting after he punched the girl in the face.

They should get public intoxication, underage drinking, inciting a riot, assault and battery yet nothing. Sounds to me like their parents know people. I’m sure these brats are used to having their messes cleaned up and getting away with things. Explains why they think they can act like this.

I think they’re both unprepared, slow and don’t seem to think quickly or appropriately rehab their witnesses on redirect. The younger DA is super unorganized, informal, and hesitates way too much. His speech and presentation is embarrasing. Doesn’t know when to make objections. Terrible prosecution presentation. It’s a good the the evidence is clear. Guilty. He should’ve walked away and never engaged with the taunting teens!

Terrible DA…He doesn’t seem nearly as experienced or on the ball, as opposed to the Defense attorney.. even though I feel strongly that Miu is guilty!

Lazy. The waistline says it all.

I think they assumed it was a slam dunk so they gave it to someone they thought needed the experience...

​@@Candie620lol you walked into this "knowing" he was guilty. You're just upset that the witnesses are FALLING APART. Or are you actually going with _"no seriously I watched the video and it shows Madison on her knees with Miu walking over and standing over her in his hat, jacket and pants after having emerged from the woods carrying the camera he was using to film little girls"_ LMFAO. You stoned?

I’m ashamed of their parents. They raised people who are dangerous to society.

Personally I think those “kids” stole it and were taunting him with it

Yes, the police found the phone in the river.

That is such a thoughtless simple minded statement. Obviously you're not paying attention

Nope. I’ll remember the whole picture. Not just the frame.

Lol yes because that's all they did. Ignorant.

Miu approached them. Quinton said he saw Miu go up and touch their tubes from behind before the video started where he had walked around them to get in front of them. He lunged and basically assaulted them. Their behavior verbally was not physically threatening. G1 never touched him. He stabbed Isaac from G1. Yes! Horrific. Tragic. Then G2 approached. Maddie and Ryhley touched him but they were not extremely violent to him. He took out the knife while Maddie was in front of him and G1 continued verbally abusing. But, a knife was never necessary. There are so many bad decisions, actions and reactions in the series of events. If he never approached them, none of this would have happened. If he never lunged at Jawahn and Landon, who were not standing up, and just let them pass, everyone would be uninjured now. But, he was mostly non-verbal in all the situations. He could have communicated better before he approached them. He wasn't clearly communicating. He was never verbally defending himself. A normal person would have. So, I see him as part of the problem. Maddie and Ryhley touched him while G1 simultaneously continued verbally abusing him adding to the problems but not enough to warrant him pulling out the knife. He was never in enough danger to use the knife. A normal person would have behaved differently and communicated SOMETHING, a lot more, verbally. I think it's possible he is on the autism spectrum and undiagnosed because of how non-verbal he was compared to how a normal person would have behaved. I'm not defending him. It just makes sense and might explain why he wasn't very verbal. I'm watching each day in order now, on fast speed to catch up. He did wrong. They did wrong, too. A lot of people did wrong. I understand why he was afraid. But, he allegedly hit Maddie who wasn't trying to hurt him. Then the guys thought they were defending her. So, there are misunderstandings going on, too. It's a mess! I like the judge.

@@menarussell Didn’t read the novel you wrote there. If the TEENAGERS were not drinking. Or ANY of them. Mui included. Things might have gone a hell of a lot different. ✌️

He's obviously going to be charged with 1st degree murder... that's why. There was no bat lol... He left to avoid punishment... same reason he threw the knife and lied to the police... Come on guy

Oh so if a guy is after you with a baseball bat you ditch the knife that just saved your life against 5 attackers?

She triggered him and he snapped. It’s clear who is at fault but people succumb to black & white thinking which subsequently results in their ability to pick a side and believe they’re being intellectually honest with themselves. To make it clear to such people reading this - they are both at fault. As with the specifics they are at fault for, the injury & loss experienced as a result, varies in proportion. One point worth considering when forming opinions or making decisions pertaining to those at fault is where they place on the scale between one who regrets their actions almost immediately to one who will die on the hill of their actions being justified. Take that with their relevant history and value to society as a whole and it might just perfectly equate to where their future is best served. Question: Does a split second, once in a life time reaction, by one when provoked, that takes the life of a member of the community, merit planned and calculated action from many in the community with a long history of hearings, to take the life of that community member?

Albeit a seemingly irrelevant reply, I wrote my last comment after appreciating yours.

They all want to be loud and arrogant vile people on the river like they are big enough to smoke dope and drink yet on the stand they all act like they are just sweet innocent little boys. Please!! Not one of them will take accountability for their part in it.

Because teenagers are children

​@davidreece5867 my kids are in their 30's they are my children, but at 17 I didn't treat them as I would kids ages 1 to 12! They were treated as young adults that knew right from wrong. They were expected to behave in public . They were also expected to be respectful of their elders, and not be a bully. My kids made mistakes, and they took responsibility for their actions. My youngest was involved in some mischief, he went to police and turned himself in, admitted his part in it, and worked to pay his fine. This case is a good teaching tool for what teens should not do. Aside from underage drinking and drug use, the taunting and mob mentality are terrible

@@Sonogirlthey didn’t pretend to be “innocent boys.” They admitted to drinking and smoking

@@rebeccaglasgow1324​​⁠legally 17 year olds are children, NOT “young adults.” In the video, he accosted them first.

😂🧀🧀

Why have all the prosecution witnesses so far been proven to have changed their statements multiple times inbetween talking to police and testifying under oath?

@@lillymoon7506 I think the prosecuting attorneys are sleep walking through this trial. Worst I have ever seen on a Live stream. So there is that.... The defendant yes, could very well be exonerated. We know very little about the jury.
