25 years for murdering 3 people in a massively brutal fashion after they took you in, fed you and cared for you? Two things: 1) No bail should've EVER been given to this guy!! 2) Such a disrespectful slap in the face to the ones that died as well as the family!!

How do you get bail for a triple murder? That's insane. 25 years?! That's even more insane!

Massive props to Truly Criminal. They’re out here making mini and full length documentaries. So much information and always so well delivered and edited. So different to other channels I watch which is really refreshing 👏🏻✌🏻

25 years means 8 and a third years for each brutal homicide, and all he'll have to serve is 85% of that time. So the punishment for each horrific homicide was a little more than 7 years. The judge was so very wrong to have those sentences run concurrently instead of consecutively. What a travesty of justice. I am absolutely disgusted.

imagine how insane that judge must be, to think murdering 3 people with a pick axe is only worth 25 years - could have been 75. disgusting . he should be investigated himself

Shame on that judge, that sentence is appalling! Prayers for the family and the entire community. 🙏

This is just so so tragic such a loving family ruined. R.I.P to them all.

3 murdered and he gets 25 year's ONLY...the pain and suffering before they died would have been horrible...Nicholas took to them with a pick ax...this outcome is disgusting...beautifully told again with compassion your voice is so calming...thankyou for sharing 😥

That sentence of Nicholas is absolutely ridiculous. I am soooo mad at that so called judge. Peace for the family.

Horrific. Just horrific. Can’t even imagine finding my loved ones like that. My heart goes out to the both daughters, especially the one who found them. 😢

This is exactly why I don't help people anymore. I've taken in several people over the years they wind up stealing, lying or just filthy and never want to bathe or clean their area. I do help little animals that need a good home but I'll never help the human animal again unless they're family, it's just not worth it. No good deed goes unpunished.

100k for 3 bodies? Then 25 years concurrently! Wtf!? No justice at all! How do these judges sleep at night?

I absolutely love the way you deliver the stories. its like the empathetic voice, careful choice of words and just generally nice delivery is soothing to listen to. your like the female coffeehouse crime. Thankyou for everything you do.

I loved the way you narrated the criminal cases with that thrilling but enjoyable voice to listen to...very articulated and well delivered. I love this channel better than Crime Time channel which deliver murder cases using "dramatized reporters ☺️". You make me feel addicted to crime stories...please keep bringing more stories like this.

I'm shocked and disappointed the judge set the sentences to be served concurrently instead of consecutively ☹😠

What a horrible crime,3 good people taken from a family and community that loved them. My condolences to their family 🌹

Horrific pain and suffering this trio endured having been killed by a pickaxe, not to mention over money and a weed plant. My jaw dropped when you mentioned he was offered 100k bond, of which he would obviously only have to come up w/ten percent, but then when you mentioned the verdict, and the judge running the sentences concurrently, I was seething with disappointment and frustration. Such a lovely, hardworking, family-oriented couple and the son they raised to his fullest potential gone over such a senseless crime; and the heartbreak it has caused this family, who were only trying to help that POS out in the first place. No justice, really, at all. Anyhow, thanks for the upload & hope you have a great week, sisters!

This is one of the best true crime channels on KZfaq. Thank you for always presenting in an empathic but honest way that honors not only the victims and their families, but the facts that demonstrate the severity and weight of the offenses and the offenders. You manage to accomplish all of this without glorifying or otherwise dramatizing already serious subjects and this further shows your respect and consideration for them. Very well done.

Never ever help anyone too much! Always comes back to something like this!

As always researched and presented in such a thoughtful and empathetic way. My absolute favourite true crime channel.

That judge had no sympathy for the murdered people's family. What a miscarriage of justice!

Bruh that judge needs to be disbarred for giving 25 years for triple homicide, genuinely one of the worst injustices I’ve ever heard.

25 years is an insult to the victims...

They gave him bail?! WTF?! Once this creep was locked up, he should have never seen the light of day outside the courtroom & prison 😡

I love your channel & how you unfold these horrific events to us without a long drawn out opinion to much commentary. You don't point out every little detail, just straight through my friend. 👍🏻🤔😍 This story is beyond sad. Another senseless horrible murder & betrayal on another level. All this brat kept getting was help & didn't care about anyone but his selfish self. Unreal. Ruined the family & friends. RIP Angel's 🕊🌾💖 God bless 👑🙏🏻🕊💞💞

That judge was ridiculous. Had Nicholas killed one person (with a pickaxe for heaven’s sake), he would have served eight years? This family was murdered in the most brutal way, and their killer, a person who they helped in every possible way, gets 25 years in prison. Funny the judge didn’t let him go with time served. That judge should be removed from the bench!

Was the judge paid off or something?? That sentence is ridiculous!!

Pisses me off when ppl kill the hand that fed them. Seriously how low can you go? Disgusting!

This is so sad. A family giving hope and love to be treated this way. A pickaxe for goodness sake. That takes a lot of hate.

I’m from Albuquerque, NM. You should do the case about Victoria Martens. Not a lot of people know about this case and that poor girl deserves so much more recognition and justice. It was truly heartbreaking, it happened in 2016 and I still to this day always think about what that little girl had to endure by the hands of her own mother and her friends.

Absolutely gripped by your channel. Your storytelling and compation to these cases are amazing 👏 we'll done. Binge watching !! Your now one off my favourite KZfaq channels that deserve all the subs you get.

This is so sad! May the family R.I.P.! Thanks for another well done video!

25 Years what a slap on the graves of these beautiful people who didn’t deserve to die like this . Praying for the surviving family .

Imagine a world where we just lived peacefully. Sounds great just impossible

I have few questions but mainly one how could no one scream or get out if only one boy attacked with a pixel? Ortiz family (may their souls rest in peace) were found in three different places - master bedroom, kitchen and garden - so there was a lot of moving around to do for 1 single killer?

I don’t understand how he was sentenced to only 25 years for such a brutal attack of 3 people! I truly feel for that family 💔

I'm still amazed that people think most people are good just because they do good things or appear to be a good person. A deadly mistake many make every year.

I hadn't heard of this one before. This case is really sad.

Would the judge give 25 years if his own family was murdered? Wtf!

A truly difficult episode but as usual very well presented and most importantly dignified. Thankyou you've done Sarah proud

Only 25years? What is this? The UK? It should have been 25years for each life he took.

I dont think justice was served in this tragedy

I'm very funny about who i subscribed to on KZfaq, I subscribe to your channel for some time now ,and you sound very young,but how you deliver the story you don't talk too much you don't try to put your face in front of the camera, you can tell you putting in work ,because you use original pictures and original videos, your voice is very nice and clear and at the right pitch, the background music on the production is not overpowering your voice, your choice of cases that not everyone is talking about I'm very very impressed and it's hard to impress me🖤🖤🖤💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️

Wow this channel is top tier. Very well done , empathetic, respectful and professional and brought awareness to this case that I didn't know beforehand and I feel honors the family not being forgotten 🙏

Sounds like (IMO) the judge may have went for the lighter sentence due to his age at the time of the crime, but sorry, a 16 year old who butchers a family with a pickaxe, that's an adult crime and deserves a harsh adult sentence.

This sentence is a joke for the seriousness of the crime.

I am so damn addicted to your channel... Keep growing ❤️

Yet another brilliantly put together video. A tragic case, excellently covered.

Another brilliant upload. Bless your heart for all you do here.

They took him in,fed him,and gave him support,in return,he killed them in a savage manner, then he gets a reward of 25-year sentence?????

25 years!? Wild 😳😡

I look forward to your uploads each weekend! Thanks for the content

The tears when he was sentenced, so he did have some emotion, unfortunately just for himself.. R.I.P 🌹 thx tc 💐

Thank you both for all your hard work. By far my favorite true crime channel. I can’t wait to watch you both pass 1 million subs!! Keep being amazing, sending love from Portland, OR ❤️

That sentencing baffles me! A friend of mine in CT got 10 years for a non violent offense.

Excellent videos, sad the case, but excellent narrator. One of the best channels

When ever I hear New Mexico, I automatically think Breaking Bad 😂

I didn’t realize how early I watched this after you posted it, I clicked on your video of Megan and I loved the way you explained everything. Definitely subscribe d! But this is a very sad story, poor family 💔💔

Your narration is the Very Best. I much prefer it to Coffee House Crime which I find respectful but overly enunciated.

Thank you for ever keeping us entertained, warned and intrigued by all these cases documented on your channel 'TeamTrulyCriminal'...

25 years for 3 homicides? Wow

Great report, ladies! Well worth the wait! 😎

16 years old!! Horrifying. I'm from New Mexico. I had forgotten he was a teenager.

Three really good people were murdered by a complete brute yet he only receives less than 25yrs? That is just unbelievable when you consider the manner of their deaths and the coolness of the perpetrator afterward. That judge needs his head examined. On another more upbeat note, I love this channel and the narrator is brilliant. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you.

That judge is gunna have blood on his hands when that kid gets out.

Thanks for the coverage. I'm from New Mexico and havent heard about this story until now .

This BY FAR my favorite channel

Thank you again, great narration👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So heartbreaking 💔 😢 Ypu do an amazing job presenting these case's.

Your channel is highly addictive 💕

How is this not capital murder, murder in the pursuit of a felony - burglary. I'm not for the death penalty, especially for a minor, but 25 years is an utter insult to the family and society in general.

3 murders and 25 years ....am speechless.i have seen people getting life sentences for conspiracy to kill someone ..I feel really really sorry for the victims' family ..I can see a serial killer in making .

You have a brilliant channel, thank you! 👍👏✌

I thought it was the sister and husband for sure. The way she talked about her families heads being “blown in” has me baffled. Who talks about their deceased family like that?

Agree with family in that there was no justice here. 25 years? Whatever was the judge thinking. Absolutely outrageous!

Wow. This is one of the most horrific things I’ve heard. He betrayed the people who had his back on multiple occasions. What evil… I hope the surviving family find some sort of peace. ❤️

Just awful. That judge should've been fired.

25 years. Absolutely unbelievable. If you didn't know any better you'd think this happened in Canada with that kinda sentence.

He planned to rob and murder 3 people and only got 25 years??? the girl who drove him got 20 and will serve 14 for something way less serious than the murder of 3 people. it doesn't even make sense they would consider this justice because it isn't. Saying a prayer for his daughter I can't imagine the pain and anger they feel over this.

this reminded me of another crime where this elderly couple took in that weird girl.. and her and an accomplice robbed them and buried them alive as the couple had their arms around each other....and they looked after the witch like their own daughter...sick world we live in...its infuriating and reminds me why i stopped taking in people and helping them out

wth is wrong with that judge?!

I can't believe this. I can't believe someone would do something like this, not to mention the stupid motive. I'm speechless

Finally. Been waiting 🙏

Huge fan!! Thank you!!!

I've watched every one of your videos , I myself, thought for sure that the son had instigated himself in this terrible crime scene. Fuk me I couldn't be more wrong so far, this terrible tragedy is insane...

Stunning work, as usual. Very impressive.

No good deed goes unpunished. If someone is messed up in the head and their own parents don't want them, well that should tell you something. The whole state of New Mexico is the worst for crime and violence in the entire U.S.A.

Your channel is the best crime channel i have come across yet ant i have chained your vids. Yout commentary is second to none ant the editing is second to none. So professional.

Dang I remember this when it happened, RIP Ortiz fam shout out from Albuquerque, thank you TC for covering cases from NM

Great video sad story! Keep them coming

Who wakes up their Dad at midnight to say happy fathers day??? Psychopath right there!

Never ever ever take in wayward strangers! I had to learn the hard way and I miraculously survived. The way these cowards attack is ambush - from behind. I feel horrible for this beautiful family 😢 Amazing documentary! Excellent format and narration. Love the news clips too. Heart stopping suspense.

How is concurrently running sentences for preplanned murder even an option??? And its even more insane that for multiple savage preplanned murders by hand (not even at a distance with a gun) the judge was able and chose to set concurrent sentences. The judge is judge saying the victims lives are worthh next to nothing.

The way she talks about her parents' head... I'm shocked 😲 😢😮

I love how you describe locations. Most places have lots of positives. It’s a small town where everyone knows everyone not it’s a small town with nothing to do. It’s just that people do things with each other instead of focusing on being entertained.

Thanks TC👌

So sad. Very well told as always…and with great respect ❤

Really great videos. Subscribed.

Its always so strange to see New Mexico cases. I lived there for most of my life. It's not a safe place but the cases there are still horrifying.

Yeah, sounds about right, this is what you get for helping strangers and bringing them into your house, and people question why most Europeans are cold and distance, this poor family dedicated their lives to helping the community and this is how the justice system rewards them, what a cruel lesson to learn,
