They need to ban chewing gum in a court of law. It's extremely rude and shows no respect.

Most courts don't allow it

I agree,her and her husband both.Also is this judge new,he seems odd to me.

Demons

juls jewels just feel compelled to share..I have been a gum-oholic all the way back in my memory. I even remember when I was about eight years old my grandma - who made pottery etc for a living - sent me a little figurine of two feet that were shaped like a u so you could put your gum on it and I had it next to my bed to put my gum in each night. Crazy right? I can’t remember ever not having gum with me and I regularly got in trouble in school for chewing it. I say all that to say, if I had gum in my mouth or if I have gum in my mouth and have to do something important like a court appearance (divorce court ugh) or a doctor’s visit etc.. I take the damn gum out of my mouth or if caught off guard it sits on side of my gums hidden with zero chewing because even I get how rude and disrespectful it appears to other people so .. yep.. I’m an oversharer too.. meh.. just agreeing ;)

Unfortunately

Jennifer S. Wow.. you said what I said only better!! Yes yes yes it’s horrifying!!

Mrs Tate and Mrs Shaw cared for her so much. You can truely see that they loved her a lot. It is really upsetting that she wasen't able to stay with them.

They were not harassing her. The grandmother of the girls made serious complaints and they investigated. Anyone would investigate if there are suspicions of alcoholism and inappropriate behaviour.

@@potocatepetl but at least they were investigated. The baby killers weren't at all. They just let them do whatever.

These poor girls went through 7 different foster homes! Of course layla had problems after that! Layla was becoming a catatonic baby. Her trauma was seen as behavior issues. These kids should not have been moved from one place to another all the time to live with friends of friends, acquaintances, foster parents, lots of different strangers.Tessa used to give her kids as if they were toys to anyone who wanted to take care of them

I don't know if I'm ready for that. Watching all their reactions is heartbreaking 😥

I totally agree that her biological mother will not win any mother of the year awards, but keep in mind, she didn't kill her child and probably never would have. Sometimes it's the monsters that look good on the surface you have to watch the closest.

Absolutely!

I feel as though these murderers only wanted to use these precious angel's as a means to relate to the public! Jennifer was trying to become a public figure within their city. When people in these positions "advertise" themselves to the public for the purpose of getting voted in often times they use pictures of their families. It shows a gentle side of the often harsh personality of politicians. They didnt love these girls they used them!!

The mom let her babies down by using drugs

@@lillycasey2657 yes totally agree.

@🆓COGNITIVE DISSIDENT 🆓 hey she went on to have more children who were taken into care she hasnt learnt her lesson

@@lillycasey2657 no, she had her last child in 2015

Who was the father's of the kids? They don't seen to be in the courtroom?

I get what you are saying but this statement is a bit odd in the circumstance

If CPS would shape up and act right!

Thank you for pointing that out, the defense attorney is just the worst kind of person

In her opening statement she made it a point to say the new adoptive parents are taking her to a shrink to find out "why she lies so much". Maybe she's using attention seeking behaviors bc her first years of life were so unstable! I really don't like the defense attorney

These poor girls went through 7 different foster homes! Of course layla had problems after that! she started showing signs of aggression, fighting with her sister, pulling hair and sometimes throwing herself on the ground. She was afraid of sudden movements. And she hardly spoke at all.Layla was becoming a catatonic baby. Her trauma was seen as behavior issues.

NO ONE WANTED LAYLA. Her great grandmother said she could only take care of Millie, but not Layla. The Chapman family only wanted to adopt Millie but not Layla.The tumultuous world of Layla seemed to take a toll on the child. She could lash out, sometimes against herself.Layla started showing signs of aggression, fighting with her sister, pulling hair and sometimes throwing herself on the ground. She was afraid of sudden movements. And she hardly spoke at all. But instead of loving her people just didn't want her around. Even the monster Jennifer told the gymnastics teacher that Millie washer bio daughter but Layla was just a foster kid, a 'drug kid' (in her words). layla was failed at every level. The 'before' and 'after' photos are heartbreaking. Well I think Patricia Lambert was the one who REALLY cared about these girls, particularly the poor Layla.

Millie is adopted now along with her 2 younger biological sisters. Her adopted mum is one of the witnesses in this trial, she seems lovely and you can tell she loves all three girls like they were her own x

From what I heard in opening statements, she's been adopted. I hope she's being well cared for and loved. Even if the prosecutor tried to make that little girl a villain by stating "she lies all the time." Edit *not prosecutor, defense attorney

I think all three of the girls were adopted by one mother. I think she fostered them and them adopted them. And changed all their names. She does testify in this case but I'm sure you got that far and heard all of that

Not just these kids. MANY kids in America are bounced around. That's why we have DFACS.

And I just now thought of this. I know Peggy Banks probably did what she thinks was best at the time, but she was part of the problem at times. She stole the baby from one loving caregiver, and she called DHS on another loving caregiver. She also said lots of things around Millie she shouldn't have said.

Yes! When girls are prescribed Accutane (for severe acne), they must also take birth control pills because Accutane causes severe birth defects.

I agree. She has had 5 babies that she had to give up because of drugs. You think she’d use birth control.

Yeah, how can she catch everything? I keep being distracted by that

Wouldn't probably catch every accent if connected to the speakers.. the thing must be programmed to record only her voice.. this is so much easier for them as opposed to typing out the whole transcript.. I've always admired their concentration n speed... I would lose track after 5 words 😂😂

@@sandhyamandara4 I wonder if the court reporters used to get carpal tunnel from all that typing so they switched to this new method of speaking into that device?

@@sueannnatter5295 Absolutely! Imagine the stress on those poor wrists...

All I know is it looks ridiculous lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For the defense attorney too. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

No the friends from work actually loved and cared for them , it’s when they were placed with the rosenbaums who skipped all the steps to become a FP, bc she was in law school, and the disgusting case worker who NEVER CHECKED ON THEM! However when they were with friends dcf was overbearing etc snd then never checked in on the monsters that BEAT, STARVED & MURDERED! Just disgusting!

He does sound like Mr Rogers! It’s comforting.

I think she actually thought that they were going to get away with this and that they were going to be able to explain away every little mark on that poor baby's body. Well too bad so sad for them that Millie thankfully survived them and was able to corroborate everything being said pretty much

Right I hate that. I want to see what the Jury sees.

It's because it's a child. Probably naked and vulnerable. Which isn't appropriate to show publicly

RUN FREE think has something to do with Judge not permitting it ..

@@susannahdenhart4261 I wonder if the photos are available anywhere?

The judge chewed out the camera guy a few days ago for live streaming the photos and he had to swear he would not show any or would be in trouble because they are minor children... When this channel uploaded this trial they probably edited them out or they would be in legal trouble. I bet you can find them somewhere though because they were streamed live until judge had a fit...

Paid. Google her and check out her web site. She takes on the evil in this world as long as they can pay her.

@@sher7251 karma has a way of coming back for ya in the end though. She will have to answer for all she has done as well while defending these awful criminals. She's disgusting

I think she is a paid defence as they got a doctor in which cost over $7k I’m not sure if state defence can do that.

I think Ms mull was paid. Boy does she look like a mean witch. I feel bad for her family cuz she seems like an awfully nasty person and would be hard to deal with. But I hope I'm wrong for their sake

christina Nicole Some are. This one is.

they already happened..trials

Allison Barnes I think the defense phrases it that way on purpose to discredit Peggy. Peggy stated that it was difficult to watch Laila because she had several back problems. She was closer to Millie because she had her quite a bit as a baby. Same situation I have with my granddaughters. I love them both but am closer to the older one because we have more shared history together. Defense attorney wants to twist that into something that makes Peggy look bad because Peggy is an important witness for the prosecution

She said she could not lift or change her

Two kids for her was too much. Makes sense...she was the great grandmother.

Omg I was just about to ask the same thing. What is that????

@@anaanushi8795 other method of court reporting is called voice writing. Voice-writing involves a court reporter speaking into a stenomask-a hand-held mask containing a microphone. The reporter repeats the testimony into the recorder.

Just You wait and see Oh I see. Thank you for your reply 😊

@@aussiegal107 I wonder how accurate it comes out. I'd think it would be pretty accurate since it's for transcribing court proceedings. To bad cell phones can't have the same good talk to text option like that.

She struggled with drugs too & did the right thing having someone who could care for the kids do it. Not the best thing but better than having them around drugs etc, and they would have kept them but DCF was intrusive etc yet NEVER checked in when the girls were with the beaterbaums

I don't know what kind of burdens her family had, but there was enough of them it seems they could have rallied together to keep those children. But like you said, they just pawned them off

It's public speaking, a great fear for the majority of people.

Likely because they are in front of a full courtroom of people and then it's broadcasted live and everyone knows that. I'd be hella nervous too. Heck yes. I hate public speaking

The defenses too.. by shutting it off. I can't stand this defense attorney

Yes can we then break the defense attorney’s mic? If I never heard that lady’s voice again it would be great. But I am sure she’d want to refresh my recollection anyways 😕

Susannah Denhart she’s dictating for court transcripts

That's the court recorder.. She doesn't have to type every thing.

Must be annoying having that to your mouth for hours

Susannah Denhart 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Susannah Denhart it’s an antiquated way of dictating. 🤦🏽‍♀️ it’s not necessary to for it this way.

Peggy is Tessa's grandma...

The little girls great grandmother.

Yes. BUT let's make sure we get all the murderers of children in prison and throw away the key. The issue here is a child's death not why they are here.

Legal enforced contraception is the answer. It is only temporary until the mother can get her act together. Yearly injections of Depo Provera, an IUD inserted into the womb or Implanon inserted under the skin and provides contraception for 5years. Do you have these in America ?

@@geraldinegaynor1360 I agree 100%!! And yes, we have all of those in America.

Brillant.

Him holding the mic when he speaks was cute. Sweet old man.
