#CourtTV Catch up on MI v #BeverlyMcCallum here: www.courttv.com/news/mi-v-beverly-mccallum-fugitive-wife-murder-trial/?

Thank you Court TV for editing out the breaks, really glad you are now live streaming trials in full.

This guys straight out of a movie😂

Question and Answer done well. No talking over each other. The witness listens to the question and answers it directly and then does not say one more word. Excellent.

"Are you in prison?" "I am in the depth of corrections. "So you are in prison ..."😂

I’d rather stand outside on my back deck, in a blizzard, if I had a basement like that. 😧

If someone kills me, I’m worth more than Dollar Tree cleaning supplies.

I bet he wished he had never bumped into that daughter at the gas station that day

When did “conversate” become actual language…and WHY

They found love at the gas station picking up cigs …. Even had a first date in McDees while smoking pot. Say no more 😂

Very good Prosecutor. He is very clear and precise.

Unbelievable how cold blooded this guy is telling the story. Jared Leto should play him in the movie. He plays a good psycho, and is a dead ringer for him.

The poor daughter - tell her her father abandoned her knowing that she and her henchman and henchmen killed this man in the most cruel way. Just horrible and evil.

But, but, Beverly testified, "It was a superficial wound," when she hit him with the 'tool'? She forgot the part about burying the hammer his his skull. GULITY!!

The way Beverly looks at him with such hatred

This is one of the best witnesses I’ve seen in a trial for the prosecution.He did not waver, he did not flinch. I totally believe him.Thats why a person who has nothing to lose is very dangerous. Rip Robert. You didn’t deserve that,nobody does.

It’s crazy that we are living in a world with some really sick people

At this rate, the Jury instructions will be "Please don't forget to find to her guilty."

This case is absolutely nuts! Who does such things??? That poor man. This defendant was on the run for 20 years and had another baby after abandoning her other 3 or 4 children too. This whole case is too f'd up not to be true.

I feel sorry for Christopher over the fact her ever met Beverly McCallum. At least he chose to reveal the truth about what happened...unlike Beverly.

People talk about killings as if they are merely talking about going shopping. I don’t understand how killing became the new normal for people to get someone out of their life. God Bless this terrible world we live in 😢

Darn how can people be so Evil 😢 Smdh

"She watched a lot of crime shows" he says about Beverly. Oh my.

"your honor, we were suffering from Reefer Madness" CASE DISMISSED

I absolutely believe him

He looked over his glasses to find her…😂

This is crazy to see & hear!

This crime is what nightmares are made of. I can’t fathom what Robert was thinking and going through at the time of this horrific tragedy. Beverly sitting there with her constant blinking and looking as if she wants to go to sleep, she looks as if she has not a care in this trial or anything else. Too bad Michigan doesn’t have the death penalty, because this monster surely deserves it.

He's clearly minimizing his level of participation in Roberto's murder. Probably because of how gruesome and stupid the murder was.

Scary these monsters live among us.....even scarier this dude gets a deal for admitting his guilt

Wow….the defence Lawyer did such a great job….for the prosecution! He went at the same incidents from different angles but the witness was solid and just reinforced their testimony. Considering good lawyers never ask questions they don't already know the answer to……these guys don't even know the witness’s names!

Lovely chap; too injured to work but fit, able and willing to commit murder, saw the victim's face off and dispose of the body.

Prosecutor gets an A!! 💯

He said .. "I just had really good weed". 😅😅 This man is telling the whooole truth! I believe everything hes saying to a T

All this time and they finally caught up with her and him

Good Lord. Isn't he a charmer! What a useless pair!!! That poor victim! The sweet daughter was lied to for yrs not knowing he was murdered!! Can't imagine!!

It's lovely to see kevin nash testify in court today 😂

She is going down and he’s already spent 6 years in prison

Although he admits to a deal for his testimony, I find his answers credible. He’s direct, no hesitation in his answers. It’s sad they even had to offer this murderer a deal. All involved should be spending the rest of their life behind bars. What a tragedy.

Wow these wonderful people got to go to Jamaica after committing a horrific murder! Free for 20+ years! This guy was basically homeless & filing workman’s comp for some reason,in 2002, so now 3 meals a day, medical, whatever else the prison offers isn’t to bad! Sounds like he tried to go to Texas to be with Daneen, but went back to MI. I don’t think Robert was a great guy but don’t think he abused the kids, seems Beverly is just an evil person & instead of divorce, she wanted to kill her husband.

This codefendant describes all the brutality in an ice-cold manner. Man, even if this was taking place in 2002....it's pretty tough to listen to.

I found the short film that was made by David Schock on the platform called VIMEO. It's called The Jack in the Box because at the time of the filming, this was still a cold case. He would not be identified until some time in 2015 or so as his paternal daughter saw this documentary and reported that she believed it was her father, Robert. It costs $9.99 and is extremely graphic showing his charred body. He would be found within 3 days of his murder by a farmer. It's very sad. I'm extremely grateful to this jury for convicting this monster and also grateful for Chris who you see here testifying in her murder trial. He has been in jail since 2019 along with the co-conspirator Dineann who is the daughter of the defendant. 😢

Wow!! Horrific!! How cruel and barbaric!! Seeing her reaction to his testimony and she looks annoyed but she knows she's guilty!! Why isn't that daneen there too on trial!?? Where is she? 😊

Is it me or do these murderers just testify like taking a human life is normal, no big deal, just another activity in someone’s day, no respect for life 😳 people killing people, especially people they know 😮 I just can’t imagine taking someone’s life !!!!!!!!

Ice cold!!

This is awful . Evilness. An entire group of evil people .

All three of these characters are dirty and lying to save their own ass, I wouldn't trust any of them to take care of my pet rock.

Cross examination was a total failure

He's good looking to bad he's in prison for murder. I ain't writing him any letters tho

Jesus with shades 😂

A pound of weed for 20 bucks. Dang!!

Defense attorney is TERRIBLE

Damn, stone cold!!

After watching her cross examination im surprised she was able to stay quiet during this witness

Ice cold. I have a feeling not too many people would cross him in prison. Gorgeous man. Too bad his life took such a turn.

Thanks!

😂 I cracked up when he said, “I just had really good weed.” And the lawyer said …ok. That was worth playing a few times. And he volunteered “we did coke on the dining room table too” and the court room was crickets. 😂😂

Poor Robert My God. 3 of them he had no chance😢. The more i hear, the more i hate this world

His voice reminds me of Larry on Newhart. That’s where the similarities end. Larry was a sweetheart.

Re Chris: Can you imagine? This murderer was traveling between Jamaica and Michigan and Texas and who knows where else. Who knows how many innocent people crossed paths with this man? Scary!

So how did the cops finally start looking into this? Did someone finally report dude missing or did someone involved go to the cops?

Why don’t people just say “NO” to murder! They get drawn in to the devils plan!

What’s the point of a microphone that doesn’t amplify (the judge said it didn’t)? I think she meant it doesn’t capture voices from far away; I’m not sure what the correct audio word is for this. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I find this guy to be very credible. No emotion, and seems cold as can be, but I think that’s what makes me believe the story he’s telling.

He said he was told to stand behind the pillar in the basement (to wait for Robert), but prior to that he said he didn’t know the murder was happening that day UNTIL Beverly pushed him down the stairs. Also, he didn’t mention Beverley’s involvement in his first interview, but AFTER he was told to “get ahead of this” and a potential plea (which ended up being 15 yrs instead of Life) Beverly is mentioned. Also, the young daughter testified that she saw her sister running back to the van, while he says that the sister remained in the van with her siblings while he and Beverly set Robert on fire. Also, back to the basement, they all took turns hitting Robert with the hammer? Yes, I think Beverly IS involved, but I’m not convinced that her co-defendant is being 100%.

Who just plots a murder like that! just disgusting how can you live with yourself is beyond me

Wouldn't trust him as far as i could see him...he looks what he is...

Heartless

How old was this Danine daughter? Honestly this woman is crazy.

The bat belonged to Robert according to Cicely’s testimony at the trial. She was the nine years old at the time of Robert’s death.

The children have cool names. That’s the ONLY positive thing I could say about her.

If Bev’s looks could kill, this dude would be dead

Something is missing from this story. I believe he told the truth but left out a lot of what he personally did. I think he did hit him with that bat. Why burn it inside the trunk with Robert if you just hit a post and broke it and it wasn’t used against the victim? They all played a part in killing him.

When his lawyer was examining him, he asked about the baseball ⚾️ bat. He said it was in the basement bc he "used to play baseball" in his answer to why his bat would be in the basement. I don't understand why the Prosecutor never questioned that on cross. I don't believe for one second that he had that bat from a time he played ball. A virtually homeless man, who drinks and smokes pot daily & would have had no place to keep his bat (no permanent home, no car, no storage unit etc) would have not have needed "his bat" to play baseball. More than likely it was a bat the girls used and thus goes to the issue of his premeditated. Asking that as one of the first questions would have been a much quicker way of discrediting him than the super long way the Prosecutor took 😮.

“I just had really good weed.” 😂😂

How are these people able to move to different countries so easily?

looks like the murdered victim had a “come to Cheesus” experience… literally…

Why are they pronouncing ‘Charlotte’ all weird like ‘Char•Latte’ to make it sound fancy...

During cross, he said he was surprised when Beverly pushed him down the stairs but, during recross, he told the state that he was standing behind that pillar & looking at him falling from upstairs? A lot of his testimony is questionable.

"I ended up stayin' and gettin' a job"...making brooms.

Why the heck was the daughter of Beverly McCallum, Dineane Ducharme, not asked during trial? Because of her sentence prior to this trial?

Where can you watch the entire trial daily?!??

@Mrs.Fox827 Everyday it's just horrendous what evil people are doing. Almost makes one afraid to leave the house.

What the hell is wrong with the defense lawyer, was he sleeping during the direct? He asked quest’s like they weren’t already answered 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

That basement 🤮

Christopher turned out to be an excellent witness in this case.

HELP...why did Christopher get involved with murdering this man ?? I feel like this story is similar to movie FARGO....it seems like state of MI has alot of crazy evil residents...

Does anyone know if all the previous husbands disappeared mysteriously?

One of Beverly’s kids was present? That’s horrible.

Terrible defence!!! How many times can the prosecution ask Chris to repeat what he says x10 🙄 & put words in his mouth to agree with 🤷‍♀️ 😮 with zero objections

Defense attorney could not rattle this witness

This is GRUESOME!!!

“You spoke with detectives and I’m not going to repeat what was said I wasn’t there” no but you have a LITERAL EXACT transcript and that’s kinda the point of it! Why would you not, as a defense, tell what happen during the interview to try to impeach him?????

Thats Right

I believe his story. I’d be the first one out of the gate.

I also really liked the.prosecutor He enuciates his words so you can understand him totally.

Who is being charged and for what

If these people didn't exist, writers and film makers couldn't DREAM them up! Truth is infinitely stranger and less fathomable than fiction!!!

Where's the Defense!!?? OBJECTION!! 😅

What year did this trial take place, please pray tell.
