These mothers and their new husbands boyfriends need to do better at protecting their daughters and sons. This happens way too often.

13:27 This is why I love this judge. He literally put up with no bs

Shame on attorney victims are terrified to tell and he's blaming her he's disgusting

That lawyer has a terrible attitude.

Abused children are terrified to tell...they often think it's their fault they are being abused even if the abuser doesn't threaten them.

"pud you outda house"? Lawyer? I really admire Judge Simpson. He's razor-sharp, has a great sense of humor, and is both fair-minded and big-hearted.

This defense attorney is.... horrible.

Defense attorney behavior is not helping his client

I like this Judge, he's not afraid to put that attorney in their place!

Victim blaming Seriously??unbelievable 🤬🤬

Saying “correct” after every question, doesn’t make the answers correct

No one knew about mine for 40 yrs. Does that mean it's my fault? How dare that attorney is disgusting.

Judge Simpson Sir, we need more judges like you. You’re a straight arrow.

It has to be hard for her to tell her story in front of people and the person who did that to her. .

Defense Attorney is being very disrespectful, just his tone of voice when talking to the court should be enough to find contempt. No one saw him do it, the victims testimony is more than enough. I didn't tell my family until 30 years after, my husband knew but no one else. What a disgusting and revolting person, both the da and the abuser.

Sociopaths can pass a polygraph test. That doesn't mean he's not guilty.

This first defense attorney needs to learn about abuse. Sexual abuse victims are ashamed and told by their abuser that the other people the victim loves won't believe them. They are told it is all their fault. Most don't tell anyone until adulthood, if then. I know because I didn't.

Victim blaming is a fantastic way to lose any respect anyone has for you.

The hell is wrong with them. Victim blaming someone who was a child at the time

Kids are told that they won't have anyplace to live if they tell. Horrible.

Judge Simpson personifies my personal criteria of "mental/emotional balance", kudo's Sir . . . !

the way he ends every question with "...correct?" is infuriating, i know it's a lawyer thing but the way this guy does it is even more annoying than usual

defense attorney is a clown and makes ridiculous assumptions.

I knew Judge Simpson wasn't going to allow this.

11:32 well of course. When that stuff is happening to you it's not easy to say what happening

BELIEVE THE CHILDREN 😢 #checkyourkidsdevices

I didn't tell my mom until I was 28 because I was still terrified. Not telling her mom for years is meaningless

send the defense attorney to jail.

❤❤❤ I wish more judges were as thoughtful and as deliberative as Judge Simpson is….He treats minor victims as if they were his own grandkids-and puts the safety of the public first ❤❤❤

Defense attorney needs to be SCHOOLED!

If he bends down and kisses him on his bald head, I'm going to puke!

The fact that polygraph tests are even mentioned in court is a travesty

This defense lawyer is disgusting, he was testifying himself… also talking to the victim like that is disgraceful. This guy thinks he’s Jackie Childs (IYKYK) with how he testified all fast thinking that would work. The man on trial is a stain. I’m a paramedic, the first 7 years of my career I worked in a pediatric advanced life support ambulance and the things I’ve seen…. I’ve talked with kids that were abused… some of them trusted me. It doesn’t matter it took 4 years to speak up… she was a child and still working through things and was likely ashamed and scared. If convicted put him in general population. No segregation and separate cell.

Horrible defense attorney!

I can not imagine how hard it is to talk about being sexually abused as a child. Then throw in having to do it in front of the person who hurt you. Oh! My God that girl has courage. The defense attorney is worse that a clown.l. We can always count on judge Simpson to do the right thing,

Jurys and judges must hate this clown

I'm sure this has been said before, but the polygraph isn't even science, and I'm frankly appalled that it is admissible anywhere

When this judge takes off his glasses...its bad news😂😂

Heartbreaking For That Lady

judge simpson dont play.

Mr defense, if you haven't lived it you will not understand it. I didn't tell either until confronted, after writing a note I ripped up.

That lawyer is a clown! I didn't say anything for years.....I hope nobody he loves ever has to go through anything as horrible as this victim.

Couldn't hear what the woman in the witness box said.

The rape of the victim is hard to listen to.

Anyone who claims that these victims do this for attention or anything...look at that courtroom. Listen to what she's describing to a room full of mostly strangers (and some of the non-strangers are not there for good reasons). The BRAVERY of this witness or any other witnesses in cases like this, should never be diminished. It is not impossible that someone could lie, but you BETTER have some GOOD evidence to support that because the most of the people that commit these kinds of crimes get away with it because most victims would not want to relive those events (and I don't hold it against anyone who cannot testify). It's about power and its about shame and a feeling of guilt on the victims part (made worse by an attorney that appears to validate that blame which should be a crime in itself). Good on Judge Simpson. He's a good man.

One of the best judges to ever grace the bench! I hope he is there seeing over the people for many many more years! He brilliant at what he does, with a fair yet honest push and a big heart while he uphold the law! ❤️💯

I was sa at the age of 5 twice by a family member who my parents were trying to help that was at least 19 years old and although my mother was there she was absent wasn’t really into the kid thing and my loving father is 64 375 pounds. I never told my parents until I turned 12 years old, and he was already living somewhere else. I never received justice. The reason that the family member was put out of our home was because my father and I walked in on him trying to essay my 14-year-old brother couldn’t tell for sure what was happening other than they were wrestling on the ground with the lights off and the family members genitals was exposed daddy told him he had to leave my response for never telling until I turned 12 because I was protecting my father. I know if I would’ve told my father the police would not have been able to get to the house fast enough and my father would have killed him and then I would be a child without a parent. Many reasons why a victim doesn’t come forward I’ve come to find out. He has at least three other family members that were minors and we spoke among ourselves, but he hasn’t been brought to justice. I’m sure he will reach his Karma sooner than later, shame on the defense attorney my heart goes out to the victim

I hate the defense attorney's used the " Your mom needed money from your abuser and you lived with them, so you being a 12 year old needed to lie to get money from your abuser" defense for this. He could have used any other means like " unable to understand the situation since you were a child", or "The child could have been in a state of mental durress and couldnt make proper sense of the divorce" he could have used any other non-combative defense strategy, but purposely used the most accusatory and blatantly inappropriate one possible alongside being very aggressive towards the victim and her lawyer. Fuck this was rough

I understand that the defense attorney probably has no choice but to try the blame game as it sounds like his only path he had open. But to be honest saying a 11-12 year old is cognizant enough to know what to tell to a parent is absurd. It’s been clinically shown that even people in the 18-25 range struggle with fear from adult reprisals and social stigma. It’s not really until the 26-35 range that the human brain fully develops it understanding of a larger picture, duty to society, and self reflection.

We need him in Memphis Tennessee ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

This is why Judge Simpson is my favorite everrrr!

State Attorney: "him and his grandmother" WOW!

I can’t hear 👂🏽 her on the Stand PERIOD 😮🤦🏾‍♀️

Can't hear either...

I told my mother and she didn't believe me it wasn't my stepfather either so get over it

He was definitely unprofessional. Maybe he thought he was on Law & Order but that nonsense doesn't play well in Judge Simpson's court room. To get an attitude with the judge just made it worse. He clearly addressed the prosecutor then acted offended the judge called him on it. SMH

Counsel, stop saying ok in response the witness’ answers, its stupid and adds nothing.

I just don’t understand why these questions have to be so detailed and graphic. This has to be hard for the victim because it’s hard for me to listen to this.

If #2 gets a furlough...they'll be looking for him for some time.

Polygraphs r not accurate thats why they dont rely on them in court much. If u believe u didnt do it & can keep urself calm u can beat the poly

This is painful to hear. I'm crying for that poor child. This is when I believe in capital punishment.

This victim was WAY too honest to be lying, so far as to blame herself saying it was mutual when she was 14!!!! As if she knew what was right and wrong here! He had groomed her from 11 maybe younger! God bless this young lady, I hope she now knows this is not on her! He was and is the adult! I hope he is known for what he done to her in prison! Thank you to the judge for being kind yet fair, and for putting ppl in their place!

It's bad enough this woman went through this as a child and relived it in her nightmares but now she has to live it all over again and in front of strangers and this pervert. I went through this as a child and as a child, you get afraid for many different reasons. I love this no-nonsense judge.

So proud of Judge Simpson and his protecting the victim, for she was a child when she was raped many times by the dirtbag defendant, and the Defense Attorney spend too much time trying to paint the victim as the wrong doer. She was a child and was scared for her life. And was afraid to tell mom what had been going on.

Why is he talking to her like that? I want to fight him. He sounds like an aggressive ass dude like he talking to one of his children. Stop saying correct sir. That is not cool... Learn how victims feel or act before you come at them like that. He is trying to intimidate her... But I know Judge Simpson about to let him have it.

Twrrible attorney shame on him

polygraph?? how is this admissible in court?? what is this the 1920s??

Why is defense attorney putting his hands on the defendants shoulders? Strange show of support.

Just started the video. Judge: speak up, into the mic Witness: inaudible mumbles for at least 10 minutes

The defense attorney is auditioning for a role on "Law & Order SVU".... he needs to dlow his role.

So Judge Simpson hears both Criminal and Civil cases.

I love Judge Simpson. The only videos of his that I've watched in the past have only been traffic related squatters/evictions, child support, and/or domestic violence related. I have never seen a video this sad, and this is why women don't come forward because of that stupid defense attorney. I love Judge ❤ Simpson even more after this miscarriage of justice by the defense. Praying for the victim. 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽

I have to wonder why the prosecutor didn't object to the fact that the defense attorney continually lead the victim/witness the whole time that he was questioning her and why Judge Simpson allowed it with or without an objection the prosecution.

Can’t hear

State did a great job with both cases. Totally enjoyed the humor shining through in spite of the severity of the cases. I attribute that to the Judge!

Why did the young hood member have two lawyers - a public defender and Cruella Deville look alike

The ok's need to stop!

I can't hear her even at full volume

What a thug

Judge Simpson❤

Pointless video when you can't hear the testimony

I was an SA victim. This hit hard.

Whew... That first case was awful. Throw away the damn key.

I understand advocating for a client. He was gleeful. And I lived in a house where sexual abuse happened and I never saw a thing. How dare he? At the very least, defense counsel should be barred from such an erroneous argument as that argument, especially with a minor. What an ill- informed jerk.

Im only a paralegal but, that defense attorney is a nasty horrible person..I would never work for an attorney like that..I hope you never have a good nights sleep..

These Prosecutors are great , but most of these defense attorneys have big egos and are very disrespectful. 😮😮😮😮

Bond reduction- LMAO! How about some loose change!

Wow a witness box id… completely worthless and tells you nothing.

This lWyer is telling her how to testify correct he is trying to intimidate witness. With tone and telling her how to testify

WHY IS THIS BEING SHOWN ON KZfaq? THIS HAS TO BE HARD FOR HER AND IT'S SO EMBARESSING. WHERE IS THE DECENTLY ?

This lawyer is too arrogant and will get his client arrested even if he was innocent

Cant hear the witness. "Can you tell us more about this?" About what?

I can't hear any testimony. Where are the mics? And why aren't the attorneys restating the testimony?

Best not mess with this judge because he’s not new to any games ! As a matter of fact he probably wrote the book ⚖️⛹🏾‍♂️⚖️🇺🇸⚖️

Thanks

Judge Simpson is a compassionate man. This had to be so hard for this woman to tell this to a room full of strangers. I feel she was probably terrified to tell this as a child. Children tend to think they have done something wrong. And she didn’t want to hurt her mom. I say that from my own personal experience. 😢😢😢

Because your cops can lie and have you arrested on a lie that should be called perjury on there part

I think that shouldn't even be even considered evidence in the court

Oh how I wish they'd fix the digital hash and other audio problems in that courthouse. It really shouldn't be that difficult. Someone just needs to tweak some levels.

the No Contest plea makes NO sense---you are either GUILTY or NOT!!!!!! because you will be charged as if GUILTY anyway!!!! STUPID, that is IF you are found guilty
