I’m a retired police lieutenant and one thing Bruce says you should really take to heart is that no cop is a good cop. We are all looking to implicate you. We are trained to do that. I’ve been retired for 3 years and I now use the Reid technique on my grandchildren to figure out who got in the cookies.
It’s bc his parents. Mom went on gmc to say he should have gotten manslaughter bc Yeardley’s death was actually from falling off the bed after George beat her. Therefore he’s been over charged 😂
@@Bigbubba3031 first, they had broken up - so she wasn't cheating. Second, cheating doesn't excuse beating or murdering another person. Third, this wasn't the first time he had abused her and the previous occasion had nothing to do with cheating. Fourth, please show the parents of any potential partner your views on this subject and enjoy the rest of your lonely life......because you share, at the very least, the mindset of an abuser.
This woman interviewing was so professional. She arrived to the crime scene 6 minutes after she got woken up in the middle of the night. 12 minutes after the victim was pronounced dead. Incredible. And not to mention the way she interrogated, while not having a proper nights sleep. I am very, very impressed. I hope she gets the pay she deserves!
Yes! I totally agree! She was able to get the whole story, essentially, in one hour. She was so calm, and nice, and knew when to not interrupt. By the way, although she didn't outright lie, in a way, in the normal world of person-to-person interaction, she was very dishonest with him. Acting and conversing normally while deliberately NOT telling someone an important truth -- in this case, the fact that the victim was DEAD -- is very deceptive. Example: A man cheats on his wife and goes home. His wife asks him, "how was your day?" and he says, " fine...what's for dinner?" Did he lie? But, obviously, she did a superb job. It's great watching this with Bruce Rivers The Criminal Lawyer!
@@danielwagman9794 we all have to get into our heads that cops don’t have to talk to us truthfully. Their job is to obtain information from you and it doesn’t matter how they get it. That’s why innocent or guilty ASK FOR A LAWYER. Don’t talk to the cops at all without one. The cops aren’t there to help you, they are there to help whatever case the state has.
@@jilliansmaniotto2326 I even wonder if he was trying to help the guy who obviously beat that poor girl to death and didn’t care enough about her to call for help leaving her unconscious with a nosebleed.
Paying for education doesn’t correlate to intelligence. It’s about the desire to learn within the student. Someone who is self-taught will likely be smarter than some trust fund kid who went to the best schools.
Well, when you have that much money, and are 5th generation wealth, it isn't as if you have to be trained to "do" anything. If prison hadn't intervened, he probably would have had a career of golf, the country club, vacations, and being on a Board of Directors of a company George the 4th owned.
He’s a rich, entitled, pampered idiot who won the birth lottery! Now, he’s an inmate on a prison farm. He’s forever a Murderer! Hopefully, one the farm guys teaches him a little something about real life before he rejoins his entitled, wealthy life. He should’ve gotten more time. But, at least he’s lost the best part of his life!
I know that some people complain about your swearing in these videos but seriously, every time you swear it is entirely warranted and I think it emphasizes the absurdity of what is going on. Don't censor yourself for a few sensitive folks, your genuine reactions are golden.
I have always genuinely wondered why those who are guilty are encouraged to get lawyers. Is that a move to decrease chances that justice will be served? This is a genuine question- maybe I’m missing something.
@@jasminethompson777 A good defense lawyer can be the difference between the certain degrees of murder. Cops all want to send you away for life. Shit, Todd Mullis got LWOP for his wife dying in a freak farm accident. She was having yet another affair so the cops and the State built a circumstantial case and 12 dummies ate it up.
He took her laptop for a very clear reason: If he has something of hers that she needs, she’ll have to contact him and/or it’ll give him a clear reason to talk to her and see her again. He wasn’t done being possessive of her, and this wouldn’t have been the last time he harassed her, had she survived. RIP 😢
I have an ex boyfriend like that. He always made sure he owned me money or had something else from me. That's the reason I let him back in my house too many times.
But doesn’t this very action cause trouble for prosecutors to claim premeditation??? He had to think she was still alive if he planned to keep antagonizing her by taking her laptop and having a reason for them to speak or see her again???
True that, Jack,,,he’ll get plenty of “LIKES” in the ‘BridalSuite’ of any penitentiary….js…I wonder if he shot par on the last game of golf he’ll ever play ?
He went to the Landon School for lacrosse, which is a prep school in bethesda. I grew up in maryland playing travel teams like landon and md crabs. That kid was going to any D1 school he wanted for a lacrosse scholarship. He played for Virginia in 2010- best team in the country. This kid is an idiot and piece of shit human being for sure, but he probably went to school for free because of sports. Tho daddies' money doesnt hurt
He doesn't think he killed her because he beat her and others like this before, and they didn't die. Basically, he's thinking, "No way! I've beat plenty of girls that bad, and they never died before!"
Man that way of thinking is chilling. My best friend since 5th grade I'm 27 now, our jr year summer going to sr year 2012 summer we live across the street from eachother. Ever since I was small the kid was different we are black he was the first one to wear skinny jeans he started the jerk crew he stared the wave fr we were both great athlete's me basketball him football he was better them me tho he had a D1 offer lol just one Michigan state we was jucied. And he was a lover boy super simp😂 hold hands in the hall sit on my lap at lunch right you love songs never get mad at you, I was a little hard on girl until I found one. 2012 summer I'll never forget I had a basketball tournament in the valley my dad was a coach and one of my teammates got dropped off at my house he woke me up and say brother is outside going crazy he's getting aressted we are 16 I'm like tf mine you we have to leave in like 20 min I was bs over sleeping so I'm rushing to get dressed cuz my dad don't care about nun of that😂. I go out and it's like 5 cops on him he's going crazy I've never seen my boy this out of it out whole 10 year before that. So sometime pass his my tells me that he's got diagnosed Bi-polor schizophrenic as a kid I didn't get that I would never get my boy back I fought it for years and he lied to his self and I lied to my self after a while I couldn't lie to him anymore I told him your Bi-polor I'm not gonna stay up all night with you on the game smoking fucking around. You can't live how you use to, if he didn't sleep he would have manic episodes shit use to break my heart the kid was so soft now he was a monster calling his mom a b#+* we fought for the first time ever in 10 years it was a bad time for a long time. 2017 was the last time he went to John gorge he use to stay in and out he got on a schedule with his sleep and meds he was doing so good no episodes. Then I seen slip in his walk they can slip into depression in the blink of a eye it's normal for us to talk and he's happy and crying and happy again every now and then but he was doing it daily and talking about girls one day I knew that was gonna come up. We were both ladies men growing up and popular in our area when he got diagnosed everyone knew about it so the girls thought he was just crazy so he shut them out he shut alot of the world out for a long time and when he's manic you can tell because he wants to go out wants to be seen and heard it's crazy. But now he has this girlfriend and he's back to being so unstable because he's trying to keep up with someone that's not like him and that's doesn't have the time to be in that kind of relationship and he just yells and yells and threatens her we live together now so I'll never let him hurt her and he has never put his hands on her. But I just ask my self everyday why would she put up with this. I'm to the point in life with him idk he uses his disability as an excuse for everything he can't take out the trash because he's Bi-polor he's not schizophrenic anymore, the problem is he know what to do to be normal get sleep and take your meds he did it for 5 years straight now you got a girl and think your normal tf it just sucks man because he knows but at the same times he's still disabled I know this girl is gonna leave him soon and he already said he was gonna end him see if she does I'ma just call the hospital if it gets there. I just always thought he would out grow it. My uncle jump off the bay bridge in 2017 and he suffered from Bi-polor schizophrenic until the day he passed at 38 I was 21 and he was way more paranoid then my bro but they have so many similarities they got alone so well lol it scares me eventually it's he gonna get tired of feeling like this he already does he cry's to me but I never show him pity am I wrong? I just tell him I'll always be here for you no matter what always. My uncle died from a lack of love from his family my grandma did Wana believe it was something wrong with my uncle she would just leave it to God and don't bring it up and he's just crazy. All I know is when I seen this video I thought of my boy for some reason and I pray he never lets his anger get him into something like this.
I thought this too, immediately after he just offered up that it's about her. He thinks she got ticked after he beat her up and called the cops. Yikes. This guy is a NIGHTMARE.
I can't stand it when people stand around asking how could it happend? "Why didn't she leave?" Well according to this guy she did leave. He wouldn't let her leave.
Right! I mean, She left him and moved on, as far as her love life/romantic interests, and then he showed up to her home uninvited and unwanted, kicked through her locked bedroom door, and beat her to death. Obviously, SHE did something wrong…
Or… “I would never let him do that to me.” See that’s the whole point, survivor’s don’t give consent, it’s taken from them. This is how the shame cycle starts.
@@dustydo8048 You are the example I was commenting about. I have some wisdom to share for anyone who will take it. 1. That comment I hear all the time and it is nothing short than another form of victim blaming. 2 Never say never. How can you say you will never let it happen to you when you have not experienced being in a intimate relationship with a completely manipulative murderous physcopath. Just by thinking that you will never let that happen, you are already on the possible path of it happening to you. The most confident are likely to be tricked. 3. They don't tell you they are bad person or wear a sign for that matter. There are flags to look out for. They are suttle but can quickly accumulate. You just need to know what to look for. And, know your vulnerabilities. Like, if you are too nice. 4. Do you have plan for when some invades your boundaries? Both physical and verbal. These monsters know how to articulate words so they don't sound like they are being controlling but they are. A lot of victims are coerced verbally and not how it is shown on Hollywood screening. 5. If you ever feel bad vides about someone but are not sure what it is that is "gut intuition". Your body is trying to tell you something, don't ignore it.
And even if she didn't try to leave there's still absolutely ZERO reason to ever use any act of violence against her. Even if she hit him, she was what...110 lbs? Maybe? He towered over her...her hitting him would do nothing. So there's no reason ever to put his hands on her...or any woman. Hopefully he's someone's woman in prison now.
Bruce yelling, “Now he wants a lawyer”, had me laughing out loud. Hearing Bruce acknowledge that DV is inexcusable and that he finds entitlement as annoying as we do makes me hold Defense Attorneys in higher regard. George is a dumpster fire of a human. He’s had every opportunity and sounds damn near illiterate.
There are defense attorneys who are good people and ones that are bad. Just like prosecutors can be good or bad people. Heard one prosecutor say in an interview he was so pissed he lost a high profile case that if anyone were to kill the cleared defendant his office would not prosecute.
Honestly he probably is. Being rich doesn't mean you are a terrible person but it also does not mean you care any more about bettering yourself than the average street thug.
He didn’t care about what happened to her until he faced the prospect of how he ruined his own life. The narcissism is off the charts. Scary to think he still got a lenient sentence and will be out of jail relatively soon.
The comparison to him being called to the principal's office is particularly apt. Every single sentence out of his mouth sounds like a petulant eight year-old.
Her wellbeing was obviously of no consequence to him. Or so he thought. Like, that was all about to like change like big time after this like little chat with the cops.
As a survivor, I promise you, the reason he so casually and normally describes kicking her door down while she screams at him to leave and then assaulting her is because THAT WAS NORMAL for him. It’s why she was trying to leave him, but the most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when you try to leave.
100%! In his head his anger at her justifies his actions, ‘she pushed him to it’ blah blah blah. He sees it as totally understandable that he gets to beat her because he’s just so upset… so he thinks that others will share that perspective. Makes me wonder- since this clearly wasn’t the first time- how many times his mates, maybe his teammates, actually have taken his side and possibly encouraged to see his actions as normal. I keep thinking of that scene in Promising Young Woman where a girl has been killed and the dude bro’s dude-bro friend is convincing him that it’s not his fault and he reacted like any man would… people like that they often genuinely think their mentality and behaviour is normal and they’re the victim even when they’re physically hurting people. They never see themselves as the bad guy, and a startling number of people around them may share that view and encourage it too.
@@susanmclare yeah that is all true. Also a lot of people talk like "Oh I would hit someone/thing" but not really mean it. And that just encourages people like that.
All that prep school and higher education really did him wonders. His ability to say “like” in between every couple of words is truly astounding Edit: Chef Salad is correct, stop fighting him in the comments
He just wants to TAWWWLKK!!! GOD, I was ready to throw my phone halfway through this interrogation. SHE DIDNT WANT TO TALK TO YOU!!! She said to leave!
Just imagine being a teacher at one of those schools… dealing with not only these idiot students with rich parents, but the parents themselves, who surely will make your life a living hell if you even try to hold their kid accountable for bad grades or misbehavior.
Agree. Love the fact he Hates his clients and hates them even more for destroying his chance to help them, as the pay him for (or sometimes not as he said)… His JOB is to reduce the penalty more than acquit them completely when they are obviously guilty
@@christiannilsen2835 People often don't understand that criminal defense litigators aren't "siding with the defendant" and aren't trying to re-victimize the victims. They really are just doing their jobs, and that is making sure the defendant gets a fair trial and that includes using every legal option/opportunity available provided by the law. Without criminal defense attorneys, we would have no judicial system. I know a couple of them that won't take sexual assault cases when the victim is a child because it inflames their own past trauma. But, there's not a single defense attorney who actually wants a child abuse case to walk through their doors. I get "second-hand anger" when people make comments about colleagues "helping pedos". They're just doing their jobs. No one says that about attys who accept capital murder cases and that's considered the "worst crime" or law to break. It comes with the death penalty in some states. So, thank you for pointing out that defense attorneys don't "support" criminal abusers just because they end up representing them.
@@B_Bodziak great reply with details. Not an easy job. It had to wear on you emotionally. Same as for police officers etc. But we need the balance.. but on the other side I am binging Dexter.. and he found a way to somve this stuff lol
"This is a circumstantial case, because there's no eye witness " Looks like there was an excellent eye witness. It's just unusual for the star witness to also be the perpetrator 😂
I always get the feeling when he repeatedly says there's no way she's dead, it's because he's beat her up so many times before and she never died then so how could she be dead now? Such a classic case of getting away with something bad for so long that when finally tragedy strikes he probably thinks to himself "I didn't even hit her that hard" or "That's not even the hardest I've hit her".
He is surprised because she appeared alive when he left her. But she was in bed and knocked out or sleeping and had a brain bleed concussion, a dire need for medical care. His defence should have asked to plead guilty to failing to render assistance, there by emphasizing " She was alive when I left her" I expect the police did say assault when they picked him up but they would be sure that wasn't recorded.
That’s 100% accurate. I’ve met people who endured absolutely vile abuse that would make your skin crawl. Almost all these guys have a chip on their shoulder and as a result have a delicate ego. It always escalates, and it always escalates because they have this weird notion of “proving” themself. As the woman becomes more confident in the fact that his behavior is not normal, or the result of passion, and isn’t a twisted sign of how deeply he cares for her, these types of guys usually start becoming increasingly violent. First it’s because he’s off the handle and he tells her and himself it’s because he loves her so much and ‘she makes him crazy’. Then, it’s to intimidate her because the initial shock and sincerity of a few apologies has worn off. Next, it’s to one up her because she’s probably developed an “attitude” by this point (meaning she’s hit him back or threatened to leave or called him a woman beating POS which hit him in a soft spot). After that, his ego is bruised and vulnerable because she’s right, he’s a bit** (much like the post pubescent 15 y/o hitting prepubescent 11 y/os at the skate park). Then the incidents escalate to be all, end all, this is the last crazy night, whoever gets the last word or blow in, wins, she’s leaving tonight, she’s finally going to tell her family or a good friend or my mom, I have to stop her. They’re emboldened by the fact that no one did anything when she had black eyes and concussions and when the nurse knows on the DL that she didn’t fall down the stairs herself but can’t do anything about it. They tell themselves it’s normal and everyone knows, but nobody really knows so they can’t do anything as long as you deny, deny, and lie. Eventually they develop a mindset where they know it’s wrong but they convince themselves it’s a “private” “home” matter, and it’s quite normal, just crappy when someone lets the word get out. Bizarre and stupid when you look from the outside, why wouldn’t one of them just leave and call the cops? It’s like boiling a frog in water. It starts nice and warm and slowly starts bubbling over time allowing the frog to adapt until it’s unbearable.
@@penderkev hi Kevin, he would still be charged with the assault that occasioned in her death. This would only make sense as an additional charge, or if he did not commit the assault
The fact he beat her unconscious and then got even more pissed that she wasn’t responding to him like it was on purpose is insane. Like, how stupid is he? He acts like she wasn’t responding to him out of spite instead of being knocked out cold from him bashing her head against the wall. Just goes to show all the money in the world can’t fix stupid.
My mom would do the same concept when I was young. She couldn't handle her emotions properly, and they were very extreme emotions (not moods). She would get upset about her hands hurting or items breaking because she was hitting me with them. She would get even more angry during the violent episode if I cried, didn't cry, showed pain, didn't show pain, reacted, didn't react...just a lose lose situation always. I would like to say though that unlike this crapbucket my mom is a sweet, dedicated, and wonderful woman who has struggled with her own issues and finally pushed herself to get help a few years ago.
I just figured it out. The reason he went along and co-operated so much is because he thought she had identified him as the suspect and gave her testimony already. We as the viewer know she’s dead, but he was singing like a canary on himself precisely because he didn’t. He thought that by telling his side, he was really doing damage control and not implicating himself in a murder.
If he had a Lawyer like yourself (and his Dad could probably afford it) he wouldn’t be in prison for Life. If he had a Father like yourself he would never have laid his hands on any woman in the first place! The Wisdom of your words are Pure Gold…..Priceless. ❤
He took her laptop so she’d be forced to keep contact with him and he’d have power over her. Keep that in mind when you think, “just leave.” The most dangerous time is when you try to leave an abuser.
He was drunk playing golf with his dad earlier that day. This is not the first time he was rough with Yeardley. Friends on both sides knew it. I thought his dad’s money would get him off but it didn’t.
That male interrogator would have benefited the interrogation by NOT being there! It actually hurt me inside when he interrupted the guy's self-snitching and the female interrogator just looks at him like "wtf".
@@alliinwonder9675 It seems to be a kinda common thing in a lot of areas of life I've noticed. Like in some ways same thing for journalists... when they interview politicians they try and argue with them, rather than let the politicians hang themselves on their own words.
This story is so sad. What a horrible way to die fearing for your life then beaten to death. I typically advocate for everyone to ask for a lawyer, but I’m glad he self-snitched because like Bruce implied, his money would’ve got him off.
Yes, the irony is that if he had known he had killed her he wouldn’t have talked to the police and expensive lawyers would have gotten him off. Bruce is a great guy to have in your corner for sure but he wouldn’t have any qualms if this guy was his client and walked. A win is a win, right?
@@robsengahay5614 he would have to pretend to truly Believe he actually believed the client was innocent If the client admits he’s guilty he wouldn’t have been able to fight the case out of ethics But on a lot of lawyers understand the game and even if u admit guilt they’ll do their best
@@Ss3gokusthat’s not correct. He doesn’t have to believe his client was innocent, he has to present a legally acceptable argument to inject reasonable doubt. Those are two distinct things
What makes this even worse is how many people knew George was abusing Yeardley and admitted they knew months prior. His friends knew. Her friends knew. Her mom knew. His dad knew. His dad was the one he was drinking with all day prior.
He probably learned that behavior from his dad. But I can't understand the rest of the people who knew. Then again, I've tried to counsel or talk sense to someone in an abusive relationship. All it does is make them avoid you when they have visible bruises. I've learned to distance myself from the drama.
Hearing a lawyer drop f bombs about clients feels like finding a magic trick in a coat pocket when you work at a dry cleaner. I'm surprised, confused, and can't wipe this smile off my face. Keep up the great content
@@TannerisSmol97 No I'm sure they use it in their personal lives. You hear these lawyers in commercials and TV shows who are depicted as serious, and I know he is a serious lawyer as aswell. It makes him seem more human
@@RatClowns Saul's stunt where he switched the defendant with a lookalike to get a mistrial happened in real life. I'm sure that there are many lowkey Saul Goodmans out there.
"I want a lawyer." Hate to tell you this buddy there is nothing a defense lawyer can do now that you literally gave them everything to prosecute. The lawyer is only gonna be there as a formality.
I lived with a guy just like this, he had a lawyer a great one. After I finally got away from him I called his lawyer for a case at my condo about my dog. He told me he met my ex about his ex, an he never paid him.. But he really liked me an took my case. So this really made me laughed
@@JJ-P92 I mean partly but I think it more speaks to the types of ppl domestic abusers are , not only do they raise their hands to ppl who wld never hit them back but they also never pay their way and it is ALWAYS someone else's fault. Basically they are scumbags in everyway.
I think one of the most understated parts of this whole thing was that this guy was talking to three other girls. He could have just messed around with any of the others but his ego just could not stand to let this one go. I don't think that gets brought up enough when talking about if he deserves a second chance.
Bruce your sarcastic comments always have me lmao like a crazy lady! I listen to you from my headphones while cooking, cleaning, etc and my husband is always asking me if I’m ok lol
His mother is absolutely appalling , the way she spoke about her poor son! Money does not give you the right to kill someone or on top of that minimize the act of murder. You can understand why he thinks he could talk his way out of murder charge. His mother probably threw money at every single thing he's done wrong since he was born , just brutal and sickening entitlement
I bet her and her family have gotten so used to a life where they're basically above everything, including the law. You can see it in how George acted like he was entitled to Yeardley and just ignored any of her feelings Mommy was probably shocked when her baby boy got convicted and sentenced to 23 years, just assuming that money would solve their issues
@@kpag3030 He didnt know she was dead and just thought she called the police to say he hit her, again. And he was going to bluff his way out of it he said she said blah blah blah If this bag of dog poop had half a brain he would have known to shut up and have the law firm his daddy uses to talk to the police on his behalf.
Not ONCE during the first part of this interview, does he ask anything about her wellbeing. Not once. That’s a very telling indicator as to his character. He’s not at all concerned about her, even knowing he left her bleeding and obviously injured. Despicable.
When I was about 13 years old, a drunk man that my PoS step dad owed money too kicked in our kitchen door late at night looking for him. I was at the refrigerator getting something to drink when he came in, and he lunged forward at me and pushed me up against the fridge. Then our two dogs, a Pitbull and Rottweiler immediately took him down and kept him there until police could arrive. Having a drunk, angry individual break into your house violently is super terrifying.
I have been involved in situations like this as a police officer and a professional investigator for longer than I care to remember. Listening to your commentary or reaction to these interviews is priceless. Some defense attorneys come across as zealots, but you have a much more pragmatic way of discussing your job. I enjoy these videos immensely.
Yeardley locked herself in her room in fear just for him to kick a hole in the door for him to reach through and unlock like in a horror movie. The terror she felt is maddening, I’ve felt it but have been lucky i was found soon after. She fought to the end and this monster snuffed her light out. Also, I loved the death stare Ed got every time he said something stupid.
That's why you don't put worthless ass doors on your bedrooms put the same solid doors on your bedroom that you would put in your front door or back door yeah cost is more but is your life worth a cheap ass door with a knob lock
I had my wife of 19 years tell me she was leaving me and moving in w some dude in his 60’s. The rage I felt cannot be described. Yet, not one hand was laid on her, not one threatening gesture or even threat. I believe I am a part of the vast majority of men who would never lay a hand on a woman. To those who do, get control of yourself and pray the rest of us don’t discover who you are.

So glad to know you have a good Dad! And, thank you, Bruce- excellent job! ❤ I feel so bad for this beautiful 22 year old girl, Yeardley, who had just begun her life. Her family will never gets over this. No one really does. Some, learn to live with the pain but no one ever gets over this kind of loss. It’s too deep. It’s A WOUND to the SOUL! It just can’t heal. 😢
I'm only 18 minutes in and so far he came to her place, entered against her wishes, backed her in to a corner and physically shook her. The whole time this knuckle head says he only wanted to talk and seems annoyed that the girl was defensive. Of course she was defensive! She knew what he was like. I don't know him and already have understanding of why she was rightfully scared. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
It's so bizarre to hear someone talk about a girl acting defensively and freaking out in her own previously locked bedroom as if she's the one who's in the wrong. He punched a hole in her door to unlock it and attack her, and he thought she was in the wrong because she was being defensive. Unreal.
@@derp195 It really is bizarre. It's kind of terrifying that he's not the only one in the world who has such a twisted view that paints their aggressive behaviours as normal and normal fear reactions as problematic. Those people are ticking time bombs.
@@derp195been binge watching this channel today as on holidays. It seems to be a running theme with these criminals how divorced from reality they all are.
My mother was a public defense lawyer. She said that if she thought of her job as getting her clients off, she wouldn't be able to do it. There would be too much pressure, regardless of whether she thought they were guilty or innocent. She thought of her job as being to ensure that her clients received every single right they have coming to them, including as effective a defense as she was capable of producing. If she does that, and they walk into a disaster of a case with their mouth... well then, they'll still get the best defense she can offer, but that'll be pretty bad. And that's okay as far as she's concerned, because if they receive all their rights and the result is a conviction -- especially because they've confessed with zero pressure -- then the system has worked pretty much the way it's supposed to work.
My grandfather was a horrific pedo that got let out of prison on a technicality because “he was denied his rights” so I 100% agree with your mom. Defense lawyers are important to make sure the guilty don’t have grounds for their conviction to be overturned! The justice system isn’t efficient and makes many mistakes, but when someone violent and dangerous to society does get locked up, they should stay there!
@@liamevans7661 Yes, and that was a significant part of her reasoning. She believed passionately in the process of the law, when it was implemented by good people doing their best, as an effective way to do justice. So she figured that if her client was convicted, but she'd made sure he got a truly fair trial, then she had helped to do justice by ensuring that he wouldn't be able to get out by claiming he didn't get his rights, the way your grandfather did. And by also making sure the prosecution had to really show all its work, she was reducing the chances that an innocent person would be convicted. If, despite her best efforts, they could actually prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, then there was a pretty low risk that they had someone innocent by accident. Usually, the cases of incorrectly convicted people are in situations where there's an inadequate defense. So she figured that, if she did her job correctly, there was both a lesser chance that an innocent person would be convicted, and a lesser chance that a guilty person would get off due to an infringement of their rights. Either way, her job was a necessary part of the process. I remember her every time someone in these threads demands to know, "How can anyone defend a guy like that?" There are so many other reasons to want someone to receive a fair trial than because you believe they're innocent and should go free.
I'm coming back to watch this again. I'm getting the impression that he went down there, smashed his way in, and attacked her. He banged her head against the wall so hard he caused brain damage. She started to have seizures from the injury. Since she was 'freaking out' and acting like a 'fish out of water' (the seizures) he became enraged that she 'wouldn't talk to him'. He attacked her, knocked her down to the floor, threw her back onto the bed, and stormed out, having no idea in a huff the reason why she was not talking to him. He was physically assaulting a woman that was already incapacitated and possibly semi-conscious or unconscious. 'She should have been screaming'. Maybe it did strike him now that it was odd that she stopped screaming halfway through the fight. She should have been screaming indeed.
@@Ocrilat normally I would say “no one is that stupid “ but I absolutely think you’re right. Dude is a Neanderthal- I think your story makes sense. Sickening.
This is scary. I have an ex boyfriend stalking me. Yesterday he came 2 times to my house. I live on the 3th floor and then he's inside my house ringing the doorbell on the 3th floor! He just wants to talk with me!!! I'm afraid something like this can happen 😮
@yvonne document EVERYTHING, get a ring doorbell and a deadbolt! Not a chain lock, a deadbolt. Then you can file everything with the police and get an RO. If he violates the RO he’s going to jail.
Literally the realist man on YT 😭😭 my mans living his best life both in and out of work while enjoying himself, being unfiltered and educating us all. Epic no lie
He knew what was going on and played the cops. He knew he killed her! He knew he was going away for it. He wanted it to look like an accident and he had no intention of killing her, when probably that was his intent from the get go. The police knew he did it, but he pretended she was still alive to look like an innocent little girl-friend beater. The guy is homicidal psychopath and should have gotten life with no parole. Him saying, “She’s dead, really?” Worst acting ever. The cops should have told him “She's was alive, got revived in the hospital, and told them you were trying to kill her. Here’s her statement, is she lying?” Have him take a lie detector test which he will, “fail.” Get him to fess up to avoid the death penalty.
@@prant8998 That's an interesting thought. Maybe they should have told him she was in the ICU and yeah, how would he react to that, I wonder? The thing about polygraphs, though. They are complete BS. Pseudo science. All they do is measure vitals and it's really up to the person administering the test to guestimate whether or not someone is being deceptive. But you can do that with good instincts just as well. What they hope will happen is that a lie detection exam will create enough intimidation and stress that the experience will help the cops get a confession from someone when they don't have enough evidence to prosecute. If polygraphs had any merit the results would be admissible in court, but they aren't. Unfortunately. It's too bad nobody has invented a legitimate lie detector. By now you would think somebody would have done that.
I think people need to understand how BAD Head Trauma can be. My friend simply slipped and fell and landed on the back of her head and went unconscious - she told me how she couldn't stand up and was vomiting and I immediately knew she had at least one brain bleed. If no one had found her she could have died. Another had a concussion , but seemed "aware" until the next day when she couldn't remember words. Your brain only has about 8% extra space to swell in your skull and that's very little. Aways get medically checked out if there was head trauma. The friend who had the brain bleeds from falling had 3 brain bleeds and still has never regained her sense of smell* and had a personality change. She was seen by doctors. Head trauma can really be fatal and life changing.
A million years ago when I had a bad drug addiction, I got clocked in the jaw by a homeless man. It felt like falling into a bed full of pillows. When I hit the ground I became conscious again. I did not understand why my husband was there, because we had broken up. I lived with a friend and her boyfriend. After trying to explain this to him, he asked me what month it was. I thought it was November. It was May. I forgot 6 months of my life, had forgotten becoming an addict. I looked down at the marks on my arms and started to cry. He tried to get me to the hospital, and on the drive there I began remembering things in small flashes, not chronologically, just pieces here and there. By the time we got to the hospital, I didn't want to go in there anymore, because I did remember everything. I managed to get up the courage to leave him again 6 months later. For about a year or so after I left him, I would wake up sitting straight up in bed screaming. I would dream that I woke up in a dirty hotel roomwith him. When I would try to explain to him that I couldn't be there, I had left him, I would see the look of concern come over his face, and he would tell me that it had happened again, I had lost my memory. I didn't know what PTSD was then. Eventually the nightmares faded, but every now and then I still have a dream where the past 30 years of my life never happened, and I'm still in that dirty hotel room, waking up to my ex-husband. I know this sounds like some bad made up Reddit story, but it's true. Completely true. I never thought I'd make it to be as old as I am now, and when I look back on my life it's with a weird sort of amazement that I actually have survived this far. Head trauma doesn't mess around. 30 years later, I'm starting to forget things I should know, and the doctors are saying I may end up with dementia from that very long ago KO.
I knew a guy who hit his head, he had fallen on the stairs carrying a side table. He developed epilepsy, and his brain injury changed him into another person completely. Never recovered, constantly has fits and psychosis now.
It’s crazy how quickly some of these killers go from being big and tough at the moment of the murder to bawling their eyes out the second they’re charged.
He started after crying after he found out she was dead, not that he was being charged. He didn't even ask about why he was being taken to the police station, he just got in the car. he knew he was in trouble he just didn't realize it was murder.
I cannot comprehend the mindset he had where he's fine to flirt with a bunch of girls at once, but he has to beat a girl that *he's not even dating anymore* to death for being with someone else. Such an alien kind of reasoning
@@Mari-lv1rd Wild animals still have respect for other things. Other things can kill them. Even a male lion has the fear of another male lion, draught, and they know better than to eat all of the prey animals or those animals don't go on to repopulate and they starve. Most wild animals avoid fights because there are no "wild antibiotics" or "wild doctors" to fix that broken bone, they just die and the herd/pack/flock becomes less strong. Edit - Wild animals behave better than Prep School Jerks.
I hadn't noticed this side story timeline until now- 2:47- Time of Death (6 min elapsed) 2:53- call to Reeves is placed, Reeves is in bed, asleep (6 min elapsed) 2:59- Reeves is onsite. WHAT? This gal jumped out of bed, got dressed, got to the scene, and took the lead position in the same amount of time it took to make a phone call. That is a scary ass cop to be across the table from. Talk about motivated, Jesus.
Cops have one job, and that is to make someone look guilty. Sometimes they’re right, but that doesn’t mean you should ever talk to them. Broken clocks twice a day and all that.
I was in a relationship with a guy like this, and they never even believe they're abusive. They see it as "you dropped a plate," or "you slept with someone else," or anything else they can use to blame you for their belligerence and lack of self control. They don't see it as an irrational way to react to a situation, no matter what's happened. They look at it through the lense of "I'm mad, and you made me mad, so this is your fault and not my responsibility at all," even if they were angry about something that had nothing to do with you whatsoever, if you even look at them wrong they will blow their top. It would shatter their fragile fucking ego if they were to even start to think of them being in the wrong, so it's never their fault. So PLEASE, if you ever see these things in your partner, even if they haven't put their hands on you yet, PLEASE think about this. It leads to this kind of situation SO EASILY and SO QUICKLY. Even if they don't mean to take your life, these kinds of people have no self regulation so their intent really doesn't matter when they get upset. And it could happen at any time, for any little thing. Please look for these things in the people you date, because you deserve better and they don't deserve you.
This is so very well said. Thank you. I was very fortunate that my abuser never put his hands on me (he once hurt himself which was still deemed "my fault") yet while I made my plans to leave I was terrified he would find out in advance or track me down and cause me harm. Thankfully I escaped successfully five years ago, but so many do not have that opportunity. Stay strong y'all! ✌️🍍
_This initally started as a short comment but it got a bit too long. Sorry for rambling, this is stuff I'm still processing. I do think it's a good example of very subtle and non physical abuse, though. Anyways, here goes:_ My ex always would always subtly belittle me any chance she had, and also gaslight me into thinking I was on the wrong anytime there was conflict, and that that gave her a reason to be mad at me, and in turn I'd start a process of getting on her good side again. This came to a conclusion of incredible spectacle last year, where at the beinning of which we had agreed to open the relationship and be able to date with other people and not give each other any priority. Needless to say I still prioritized her (even if I did have other sexual partners) and it all came to the end of the year when she cut off all sexual relationships with me on her own terms, in essense "dumping" me for the gazilionth time (looking back, it was one of the tactics she had at her disposal to manipulate me). In this case, though, I finally decided to actually follow through with that and not be begging her to get back to me. That's where the problem started. I made the conscious effort to stop prioritizing her and giving a shit about what she thought of me, and started openly talking on our friend group about other people I was dating. This was something I didn't do before because I was always walking on eggshells with her, and I knew the mere mention of me liking another person would have her go ballistic. But at that point I didn't care because I had decided that I didn't want anything romantic with her by now, and I was willing (and also oblivous to the extent of the abuse at the time as well) to let it all in the past thinking that we were both mature enough to do that and not get overrun by petty feelings of jealousy, and we could just move on and have a good memory of each other. (And also a big *besides*, the relationship was as distant as ever and it felt to me as if I was wading through molasses to make it work. Later I'd come to find out that it was not the case and it was all part of her manipulation game. She'd manage the relationship on her own terms and make it impossible to work, but yet also tease me with the possibility of it by being intimate every once in a while and generally giving very mixed signals to me. This last dumping she did was just part of that game.) It all came crashing down when she got too jealous and asked me, completely out of the blue, if I had gotten tested for STDs between the time I had relations with other partners and the 2 or 3 times I did with her throughout the year. I had not, and I was transparent about it. And that was just what she needed to try and manipulate me again. Because the thing is, never ever, did she mention that she gets regularily tested (supposedly, mind you), and never ever did she mention that as a pre-requisite to have intercourse with her if we were going to open the relatioship. And never ever did she ask me for a certificate right before we had intercourse. So really, it was a 50-50 thing, we were both irresponsible with taking care of our health. But no, she framed it as if it was entirely my fault, that I was a piece of shit and that I was egotistical and exposing her to STDs almost on purpose. For the first time in my life, I called out for help to my parents, and they gave me a much, much needed different perspective on the matter (different to my own echo chamber fueled by her manipulation throughout the entire relatioship, at least). And so I managed to come out of that hole. Because again she had succesfully got to me, I was feeling like a piece of shit and I was actually asking for help to my parents to get tested. But with that help and time itself I realized that I was not a piece of shit, and that I owed her no apology, and that I would not tolerate more abuse and manipulation from her. So I cut off all contact with her. As much as I could, that is. I'd still see her at gatherings, and she'd throw shit at me constantly, but never revealing why. Our friends started feeling uneasy about that and eventually asked her about it (on a day I was not present, of course) She took the opportunity and tried to out me as a piece of shit on that friend group by victimizing herself and framing the story as me being a piece of shit again, and completely omitting the fact that she never asked me for an STD test on the countless oportunities she had for that before the fact. She managed to manipulate some people, who were not much of a loss to me when cutting them off in the the aftermath, but some others had enough integrity to see through her ruse, call her out on her bullshit and stay on my side. As of today, I have another girflriend who is very caring and a great person, and I also have a job, things that my ex has explicitly said to be mad about to my friends during her little operation to out me as an awful person, being a clear indication that she does not give that much of a fuck about STDs in the first place and that she's just resentful and very jealous of me moving on and leaving her behind.
Well said! Hear hear! Unfortunately, when I was about Yeardley's age I was naive enough that I also ended up in a relationship with an entitled, possessive, gaslighting narcissist. It can be so hard for young people to know when they're in an unhealthy or even abusive relationship. I really REALLY wish that young people were educated much more about the traits of an abusive partner, as well as traits that make them abusive.
@@maneckineckbeard1749 It is very simple - he hits you - you leave. Never, ever, go back. Never. It is an uncrossable line. If you go back, he reckons it's OK. You will forgive him again and again and again.
I had a woman attack me once. She came at me, banging her fists against my chest. I grabbed her wrists to stop the attack. She swung up her knees. I got irritated, picked her up and set her back down next to me. Then I proceeded to leave. There’s no need to get into a fight. I broke up with her and that was that. I didn’t have to hurt her, so I didn’t.
He's going to be one scarred man when he leaves prison. His upper class ass is getting worked out and he's finding out how cruel the world can really be. So there's that.
@@Letsberealish I agree, if it was a normal person without financial backing. This dude has money, so he will have somewhat of a life after he gets out.
Plus the rich parents somehow fixed George 5’s trust/money so it can’t be awarded in a civil suit. Can’t remember where I read that if I can find the info, I’ll post a link. But I think the Hugely parents are high enough in the food chain to figure a workaround to keep theirs and George 5’s cash in the family and not pay it out.
He probably took the laptop so she’d have a reason to come back to him after all this is over. He presumed she’d live and so he needed a reason to see her afterwards, for a number of likely reasons. It’s not something that is unnecessary to her life, it’s something she borderline cannot function without, and by securing the laptop in his possession, he (thought he) secured another chance to further the abuse, have her correct his public image on his behalf or even continue the “conversation.” Whatever reason it is, he knew that had she lived, she would have returned in some fashion for that laptop.
ya...he totally was using the laptop to keep the connection going...i legit feel he didnt know she died, or meant to kill her, but hes still an abusive pos that deserves what he gets
Yep I 100% agree. Especially because he chose the word “collateral”… That was so telling. Collateral as in she owes him another visit or a relationship, and her getting back a laptop (which presumably was essential and had a bunch of important documents if she was a student) left her with no other option but to comply.
@@jayrod9979 yesss this too! He really felt he owned her, and therefore, by extension, had a right to her possessions too. That wasn’t even him stealing so much as him taking what he presumed belonged to him already.
58:49 😂😂😂😂😂😂am I the only one who Laughed he said “am I gonna be here for the rest of my life” and the detective said “in this room”. 😂😂😂😂 Nope, you won’t be in THIS room. You’ll be in another room ….FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
I don’t think he’s upset that Yeardley died, but how her death is going to affect him. “I beat the sh*t out of her, but I didn’t mean to kill her” Give me a f-ing break.
I doubt it. Some people are genuinely remorseful after they murder somebody. He makes a number of self-incriminating statements after it's disclosed and even expresses sympathy for the victim. A lot of murderers don't do that.
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when George had to finally talk to his father. The reason I say this is when he was asked who to call he said "Call my mom." Lisa asked him "What about your father?" He said "She'll tell him." 😂😂😂😂
I love your commentary on this video. I had an ex break into my house and sexually assault me , I had to run away on foot for over 8 blocks to get away from him. When it came time for the trial, he said he "thought it was all a fun game " I dont know why it's so hard for some people to listen when someone tells them they want space or they dont want to talk to you.
Sorry you went through that. People like this have zero empathy for others. They simply don't recognize that other people have feelings and a right to their own body, life or property. When someone like this looks at another person they see an object to be used, not a person with feelings. They don't hear because other people's feelings don't exist to them.
That’s horrible and I’m sorry you had to go through that. I had an ex that was held captive, tied to a bed, and assaulted for an entire night by two guys. Their defense in court was “they thought she was into it”. Of course the jury didn’t convict. You can’t fix someone that thinks this behavior is okay, they have to be kept apart from normal functioning society.
@@Blech-h9z if I remember correctly it was a hung jury. Prosecutor declined to retry the case. She was 17 at the time it happened. To make things even more infuriating she was one of the few SA victims that does everything right….as soon as she was let loose she went to the hospital to have a kit done and immediately reported to the police. So few SAs even get reported and here they had a full kit done on her. But it only takes 1 stupid MFer on the jury….
They want what they want. "Sry did you say something?" Don't even deal with someone who doesn't take "no" for an answer. Also test people by taking a half-step back if you feel they're too close while talking. If they step closer to you, rather than instinctively accept the small distance you just created, fck em. It's not a matter of rudeness, it shows their aggressiveness, or at least their insensitivity.
I was once arrested on a false charge, and I remembered all the shows where innocent people were convicted because they thought only guilty people had to worry. I second guessed myself since, but not any more. I am glad I believed the advice when I heard it and waited for legal guidance!
As someone who recently survived almost this exact scenario, ex-boyfriend showing up to my apartment extremely drunk, punching holes in my door trying to knock it down, etc, I am just so grateful that I was physically able to fight him off. It wasn't really until watching this video that I realized just how easily I could have died there.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. But don't let it be lost! There's a reason that you attract somebody who is violent. Find out what that reason is and avoid it in the future. Do not Fall For Love bombing. Do not fall for anyone telling you that you are the one that made them do things like that. Before you get into another serious relationship, get good quality counseling to help identify what led to the nightmare you just escaped.
I found that if you tell your new boyfriend that your last boyfriend hit you, especially if he hit you on more than 1 occasion, your new boyfriend will eventually hit you too, even if he never hit a woman before. It’s like you told him you will take a few hits & not call the cops.
I REALLY love responses that, by their nature, blame the victim (in all the nicest ways, of course), like self-help tips. NOT!! What did you do to attract... xyz? Sometimes you were breathing. Sometimes, bad guys look for opportunities and then take them. Some bad guys like heads and you (like me, maybe) don't like dying your hair!!!
30:47 - THIS IS EXACTLY IT. You can tell, from the way he keeps repeating "what she did," that he feels like he was grievously wronged. It's not that he was abusive, nooooo. It's that she broke up with him and had the audacity to move on. Abusers like this can't handle no longer being in control.
@@TheDickChappy97 Cheating is a shitty thing to do but it's not punishable by death and are you condoning domestic violence? You might need some counseling. Anyway, they both were screwing around and she had broken up with him. I doubt she wanted anything to do with him but he wouldn't let go of the relationship. He's stupid and he's a violent monster. She didn't take the right steps to get him out of her life permanently.
@@i.w2901 Oh, I see. But your original comment has disappeared so I don't remember what you said. Ok, so basically we agree that he is a violent, mentally disturbed person. Cheers.
“You’re not here to dance with us, you’re here because she’s dead.” Great line. Also, you crack me the f up when you imitate his dumb way of speaking 😂
“Does he deserve it?” Yes he does. 10000%. Narcissists like him never change. It’s always everyone else’s fault, not their own. He should’ve been given life, but I digress.
😂 It's so refreshing to hear a Licensed Attorney using FANTASTIC cursey words. Love your commentary!!!!🤣🤣. I thaught I was the only one with a POTTY MOUTH 😂😂.
“ she was hurting my hand with her face“ fucking love this guy lol I would definitely hire him if I were in need but seeing as how I’m not a dirtbag hopefully I’ll never need a criminal lawyer.
Sometimes people fall under their luck and get charges for posession of substances. Other than that I really can't think of many common crimes that people get arrested for where they're not a pos for it
I had a therapy client who was court-ordered for treatment after his domestic violence conviction. He explained why his wife "made him angry" and he couldn't help himself. I asked him if it ever been angry at a cop over a ticket. No response to that one.
Yes my ex’s favourite line was but you know how to push my buttons! Still to this day he doesn’t think he ever did anything wrong even through he beat me for 10 years and I nearly lost my life the last time.
She didn’t die right away. She didn’t have any housemates at home to call for help and George just left and denied. Wonder how his dad treats his mom. Their friends knew there was a history of George being rough with Yeardley. They all knew he drank too much which is saying a lot with the reputation UVA has for being a party school.
The skull is a closed box. The brain has a lot of blood vessels on the surface. If they or any other vessels are ruptured from a blow the blood doesn’t have any place to go so it’s going to pressure the brain. The heart is still pumping more blood into the skull. Eventually enough pressure builds and the patient dies.
@@MultiLimpetMakes sense with how he only wanted them to call his mom. It does make me wonder about the relationship he has with his father. At the same time someone who scares him, but also someone he wants to emulate.
Bruce I really commend you on not only how you explain and joke about these situations, but you also show compassion in explaining why some people are in the hot seat. You also give dudes some really good life advice and doing things right! Love this channel❤
The only thing Yardley ever did wrong was date this incredible waste of human skin.And I'm not even going to suggest any of this was her fault. She tolerated this plank for 2 years, she moved on, they were no longer dating. She wasn't cheating, except in his malfunctioning mind. That's the only question I have: how could she tolerate this privileged, moronic child? Listening to him recount the crime as if he was in any way justified was one of the most excruciating things I've ever listened to, and I appreciate Bruce Rivers being our spirit animal in this.
Abusers are pros at getting their tentacles into someone's brain. Anyone who doesn't understand that has never been through it. Never had an abusive ex, thank god, but I did have an emotionally manipulative and abusive best friend for a while. The type of person who would freak out over any tiny perceived slight and then threaten to kill themselves if you tried to leave. It was awful.
My neighbour once got beaten up by her boyfriend I had no idea what was happening. all the banging, are they moving furniture around in the middle of the night? Until I heard a faint "help!" How could she be silent until then? Seemed surreal. The cops were called, but then, just shooed away. Her face looked awful for days. I have never been friends with the kind of people who could casually describe an assault like this. As a newspaper reporter I often dealt with police and all of them were afraid of violence.Would not want to get involved in a fight. But this accused wasn't afraid, because he only beat up women, who could not defend themselves.
I have listened to this one a couple times because it’s such a disturbing example of raw entitlement. Terrifying that he just could not accept No from this young lady. What a tragic waste of human life.
Sounds like he’s brutally honest to his detriment (well, honest to a degree) because he’s never been held accountable or had to suffer any real consequences that his money couldn’t get him out of him. He didn’t even realize how badly he was incriminating himself.
Sounds like my ex husband said to the psychologist we went to when he said "Well I don't go in bars and beat people up, I only beat her up and she said things she should've. Then got up and left the room saying " I don't have to listen to anyone on how I handle her " That's when the Dr said you aren't going home, so he called my brother in another state to come get me as I made a list of some clothes and my brother got them and my car not telling him my ex where I was going except to another dr. My Dr. told me he will kill you at some point. We got divorced. Then married a lawyer, special ops marine. He was so good and protective of me. Only had to get in my ex s face once. I don't what he said, but it worked!
Bruce 💫 Rivers I heard you choking up on this one - this is the third time I've listened to it because there's so much value in the law and in life's lessons ❤️ yo nana, 1950
This is so sad. Poor girl. Frankly hitting her so hard she started seizing means she probably didn't have a good chance of surviving but I wish he'd called for help.
Perfect timing right? JCS is such a legend for dropping a video on Christmas. Hopefully the first of many, cause I watch a ton of interrogation videos, and JCS is the GOAT!!
Aggressors/attackers always say things like "she freaked out"- as if the woman were being crazy or demanding. They gloss over their own actions, presenting the victim's reactions as being inexplicable displays of excessive emotion. As a victim, it's important not to fall for this intentional confusion: you remember damn well the specifics of what was done to you, and in what sequence. Somehow, the perpetrators' memories have a way of becoming very fuzzy and clueless when it comes to that part just before their targets "freak out."
Unfortunately this also works the other way around. People "freak out" violently after reaching breaking point due to prolonged shit treatment by their narcissist partners. Narcissist partners who of course are always in comparison calm and peaceful, they just do what narcissist do. But of course the narcissit ends up being the victim of "domestic violence".
He deacribes kicking her door in, refusing to leave, throwing her on the bed, a nose bleed, her fear and he talks about it as though hes describing a PRANK! I have a feeling that George watched his daddy drink and push his mother around..he thinks its normal and because he didnt "strike " her its all ok. I hope hes learning new habits and behaviours in prison...which by the way, hes got pretty easy at the moment.
All in the middle of the night. I think George himself is accustomed to this type of situation, but his daddy was able to pay off his victims in the past.
Lol what a crazy thing to admit. “Yeah I busted the door down and I beat the shit out of her because I was pissed off”. HOW DOES TELLING ANYONE ANY OF THAT HELP YOU!?!?!
Rich kid entitlement basically. Clearly has gone his full life without being held accountable for any of his actions and he seems to be enough cards short of a full deck to not understand how this situation is different. As an aside having to listen to this guy talk the way he does makes me want to gouge out my eardrums. What an absolute tool.
There’s a moment in everyone’s life when they realize the person we think of as JCS is just a voiceover actor paid the read a script and the real JCS is a group of people.
The reason why he was giving the cops so much information, by explaining what he did at the crime scene and to the victim, is because he most likely thought that the victim had reported him for beating her up, or at the very least that she was still alive.
@@aliciastalksessions Love all those comments stating the obvious, which was also stated at the beginning of the JCS video, as if they're the first to figure it out.
LMAO… I watched this already when it came out on JCS’s channel and when you brought up how he says “all I wanted to do is *Talk* to her” *”Talk”* lol it’s just the beginning. Just wait, you will be going crazy how many times he says it and the way he says it.
Bruce, I really appreciate that you are trying to help others make the decision to WALK AWAY from the domestic issues. I also appreciate that you are so adamant about never, ever, never, never, ever hitting a woman. I hope people will heed to this warning.
that mentality he's so adament about is why dudes in abusive relationships get arrested for calling the police but ok buddy lol. women are equal human beings. any circumstance in which you believe it is okay to hit a man is also one where it is okay to hit them. if you believe you should never hit women no matter what, then i hope you feel the same about hitting men, otherwise you're just a hypocrite and nobody should listen to you.
I also appreciate the fact that he didn’t feel the need to all-lives-matter the issue of violence against women. (Yes, hitting men is also wrong. Hitting dogs is wrong. Hitting police officers is wrong. Hitting rabbis is wrong. Hitting pizza parlor employees is wrong.)
I am not upset that an abuser puts himself at the scene of the crime, admits to breaking down a locked door while wasted, implicates himself, admits that she told him to go away, admits to shaking and choking her, provides a motive, admits to not calling for help, and admits to taking her laptop as collateral. He should be honest and get what he deserves. That being said I do believe that his reaction was genuine and did not think that she died. I am so sad for Yeardley. Such a beautiful young woman.
No the reaction was only because he found out he is in trouble. He thought she was alive and had testified, so he was trying to do damage control. This guy is a L and I hope sees he’ll
This was SO SAD. They both were going to graduate in a few weeks in 2010. George Huguely V was sentenced to 23 years. Yeardley Love's mother was sueing for 29.5 million.
I’m a retired police lieutenant and one thing Bruce says you should really take to heart is that no cop is a good cop. We are all looking to implicate you. We are trained to do that. I’ve been retired for 3 years and I now use the Reid technique on my grandchildren to figure out who got in the cookies.

He's so honest about abusing her because he legit doesn't see anything wrong with it. What an absolute failure of a human being.
It’s bc his parents. Mom went on gmc to say he should have gotten manslaughter bc Yeardley’s death was actually from falling off the bed after George beat her. Therefore he’s been over charged 😂
He is a monster.

Third, this wasn't the first time he had abused her and the previous occasion had nothing to do with cheating. Fourth, please show the parents of any potential partner your views on this subject and enjoy the rest of your lonely life......because you share, at the very least, the mindset of an abuser.
@@Bigbubba3031 maybe if he wasn’t a weak pathetic beta man such as yourself, she wouldn’t have cheated 😉
This woman interviewing was so professional. She arrived to the crime scene 6 minutes after she got woken up in the middle of the night. 12 minutes after the victim was pronounced dead. Incredible. And not to mention the way she interrogated, while not having a proper nights sleep. I am very, very impressed. I hope she gets the pay she deserves!
Yes! I totally agree! She was able to get the whole story, essentially, in one hour. She was so calm, and nice, and knew when to not interrupt.
By the way, although she didn't outright lie, in a way, in the normal world of person-to-person interaction, she was very dishonest with him.
Acting and conversing normally while deliberately NOT telling someone an important truth -- in this case, the fact that the victim was DEAD -- is very deceptive.
Example: A man cheats on his wife and goes home. His wife asks him, "how was your day?" and he says, " fine...what's for dinner?" Did he lie?
But, obviously, she did a superb job.
It's great watching this with Bruce Rivers The Criminal Lawyer!

Paying for education doesn’t correlate to intelligence. It’s about the desire to learn within the student. Someone who is self-taught will likely be smarter than some trust fund kid who went to the best schools.

He took her laptop for a very clear reason: If he has something of hers that she needs, she’ll have to contact him and/or it’ll give him a clear reason to talk to her and see her again. He wasn’t done being possessive of her, and this wouldn’t have been the last time he harassed her, had she survived. RIP 😢
I have an ex boyfriend like that. He always made sure he owned me money or had something else from me. That's the reason I let him back in my house too many times.
👆 This person ex-boyfriends
Wow
But doesn’t this very action cause trouble for prosecutors to claim premeditation??? He had to think she was still alive if he planned to keep antagonizing her by taking her laptop and having a reason for them to speak or see her again???
Exactly what I thought.
Listening to this eloquent man speak, it's clear he got into the prestigious college on his own merits and it had nothing to do with daddies money.
True that, Jack,,,he’ll get plenty of “LIKES” in the ‘BridalSuite’ of any penitentiary….js…I wonder if he shot par on the last game of golf he’ll ever play ?
I was thinking how much money his dad wasted on his education didn't get his money's worth on this one
He got in because of Affirmative Action: Affirming White Supremacy
As it said at the beginning, he got in on a lacrosse scholarship
He went to the Landon School for lacrosse, which is a prep school in bethesda. I grew up in maryland playing travel teams like landon and md crabs. That kid was going to any D1 school he wanted for a lacrosse scholarship. He played for Virginia in 2010- best team in the country. This kid is an idiot and piece of shit human being for sure, but he probably went to school for free because of sports. Tho daddies' money doesnt hurt
He doesn't think he killed her because he beat her and others like this before, and they didn't die.
Basically, he's thinking, "No way! I've beat plenty of girls that bad, and they never died before!"
Was thinking this too. And by the way he easily confessed he thought that if she did have a case against him daddy money would take care of it.
It's kind of sad. He thinks an abuse case is nothing - and he might be right. If she was just beat up, he might have only got probation or something.
@@lucystoner very sad to think
Man that way of thinking is chilling. My best friend since 5th grade I'm 27 now, our jr year summer going to sr year 2012 summer we live across the street from eachother. Ever since I was small the kid was different we are black he was the first one to wear skinny jeans he started the jerk crew he stared the wave fr we were both great athlete's me basketball him football he was better them me tho he had a D1 offer lol just one Michigan state we was jucied. And he was a lover boy super simp😂 hold hands in the hall sit on my lap at lunch right you love songs never get mad at you, I was a little hard on girl until I found one. 2012 summer I'll never forget I had a basketball tournament in the valley my dad was a coach and one of my teammates got dropped off at my house he woke me up and say brother is outside going crazy he's getting aressted we are 16 I'm like tf mine you we have to leave in like 20 min I was bs over sleeping so I'm rushing to get dressed cuz my dad don't care about nun of that😂. I go out and it's like 5 cops on him he's going crazy I've never seen my boy this out of it out whole 10 year before that. So sometime pass his my tells me that he's got diagnosed Bi-polor schizophrenic as a kid I didn't get that I would never get my boy back I fought it for years and he lied to his self and I lied to my self after a while I couldn't lie to him anymore I told him your Bi-polor I'm not gonna stay up all night with you on the game smoking fucking around. You can't live how you use to, if he didn't sleep he would have manic episodes shit use to break my heart the kid was so soft now he was a monster calling his mom a b#+* we fought for the first time ever in 10 years it was a bad time for a long time. 2017 was the last time he went to John gorge he use to stay in and out he got on a schedule with his sleep and meds he was doing so good no episodes. Then I seen slip in his walk they can slip into depression in the blink of a eye it's normal for us to talk and he's happy and crying and happy again every now and then but he was doing it daily and talking about girls one day I knew that was gonna come up. We were both ladies men growing up and popular in our area when he got diagnosed everyone knew about it so the girls thought he was just crazy so he shut them out he shut alot of the world out for a long time and when he's manic you can tell because he wants to go out wants to be seen and heard it's crazy. But now he has this girlfriend and he's back to being so unstable because he's trying to keep up with someone that's not like him and that's doesn't have the time to be in that kind of relationship and he just yells and yells and threatens her we live together now so I'll never let him hurt her and he has never put his hands on her. But I just ask my self everyday why would she put up with this. I'm to the point in life with him idk he uses his disability as an excuse for everything he can't take out the trash because he's Bi-polor he's not schizophrenic anymore, the problem is he know what to do to be normal get sleep and take your meds he did it for 5 years straight now you got a girl and think your normal tf it just sucks man because he knows but at the same times he's still disabled I know this girl is gonna leave him soon and he already said he was gonna end him see if she does I'ma just call the hospital if it gets there. I just always thought he would out grow it. My uncle jump off the bay bridge in 2017 and he suffered from Bi-polor schizophrenic until the day he passed at 38 I was 21 and he was way more paranoid then my bro but they have so many similarities they got alone so well lol it scares me eventually it's he gonna get tired of feeling like this he already does he cry's to me but I never show him pity am I wrong? I just tell him I'll always be here for you no matter what always. My uncle died from a lack of love from his family my grandma did Wana believe it was something wrong with my uncle she would just leave it to God and don't bring it up and he's just crazy. All I know is when I seen this video I thought of my boy for some reason and I pray he never lets his anger get him into something like this.
I thought this too, immediately after he just offered up that it's about her. He thinks she got ticked after he beat her up and called the cops. Yikes. This guy is a NIGHTMARE.
I can't stand it when people stand around asking how could it happend? "Why didn't she leave?" Well according to this guy she did leave. He wouldn't let her leave.
There's also the emotional abuse and gaslighting that prevnts them leaving
Right! I mean, She left him and moved on, as far as her love life/romantic interests, and then he showed up to her home uninvited and unwanted, kicked through her locked bedroom door, and beat her to death.
Obviously, SHE did something wrong…
Or… “I would never let him do that to me.” See that’s the whole point, survivor’s don’t give consent, it’s taken from them. This is how the shame cycle starts.
@@dustydo8048 You are the example I was commenting about. I have some wisdom to share for anyone who will take it. 1. That comment I hear all the time and it is nothing short than another form of victim blaming. 2 Never say never. How can you say you will never let it happen to you when you have not experienced being in a intimate relationship with a completely manipulative murderous physcopath. Just by thinking that you will never let that happen, you are already on the possible path of it happening to you. The most confident are likely to be tricked. 3. They don't tell you they are bad person or wear a sign for that matter. There are flags to look out for. They are suttle but can quickly accumulate. You just need to know what to look for. And, know your vulnerabilities. Like, if you are too nice. 4. Do you have plan for when some invades your boundaries? Both physical and verbal. These monsters know how to articulate words so they don't sound like they are being controlling but they are. A lot of victims are coerced verbally and not how it is shown on Hollywood screening. 5. If you ever feel bad vides about someone but are not sure what it is that is "gut intuition". Your body is trying to tell you something, don't ignore it.
And even if she didn't try to leave there's still absolutely ZERO reason to ever use any act of violence against her. Even if she hit him, she was what...110 lbs? Maybe? He towered over her...her hitting him would do nothing. So there's no reason ever to put his hands on her...or any woman. Hopefully he's someone's woman in prison now.
Bruce yelling, “Now he wants a lawyer”, had me laughing out loud. Hearing Bruce acknowledge that DV is inexcusable and that he finds entitlement as annoying as we do makes me hold Defense Attorneys in higher regard. George is a dumpster fire of a human. He’s had every opportunity and sounds damn near illiterate.
There are defense attorneys who are good people and ones that are bad. Just like prosecutors can be good or bad people. Heard one prosecutor say in an interview he was so pissed he lost a high profile case that if anyone were to kill the cleared defendant his office would not prosecute.
There’s nothing a lawyer can do with that! Too late!
@@misplacedsouthern1236Absolutely right

200%
Could not agree more! And she did it with grace, professionalism and class, no less!
You got this 100% right 😂😂😂
Truth!!!
Its what women do every day - it's why we should wear capes 😅
He never inquired about her wellbeing until he was told she died. This person lived his life without consequences until now.
He didn’t care about what happened to her until he faced the prospect of how he ruined his own life. The narcissism is off the charts. Scary to think he still got a lenient sentence and will be out of jail relatively soon.
The comparison to him being called to the principal's office is particularly apt. Every single sentence out of his mouth sounds like a petulant eight year-old.
At best he thought she could walk it off, which may also hint at similar previous instances. What a despicable man.
@@Tunkkis Exactly my thought!!
Her wellbeing was obviously of no consequence to him. Or so he thought. Like, that was all about to like change like big time after this like little chat with the cops.
As a survivor, I promise you, the reason he so casually and normally describes kicking her door down while she screams at him to leave and then assaulting her is because THAT WAS NORMAL for him. It’s why she was trying to leave him, but the most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when you try to leave.
This!!!
100%! In his head his anger at her justifies his actions, ‘she pushed him to it’ blah blah blah. He sees it as totally understandable that he gets to beat her because he’s just so upset… so he thinks that others will share that perspective.
Makes me wonder- since this clearly wasn’t the first time- how many times his mates, maybe his teammates, actually have taken his side and possibly encouraged to see his actions as normal.
I keep thinking of that scene in Promising Young Woman where a girl has been killed and the dude bro’s dude-bro friend is convincing him that it’s not his fault and he reacted like any man would… people like that they often genuinely think their mentality and behaviour is normal and they’re the victim even when they’re physically hurting people. They never see themselves as the bad guy, and a startling number of people around them may share that view and encourage it too.
I’m really glad you got out
❤❤congrats on getting out of that!! Even though I don't know you, I'm proud of you.
@@susanmclare yeah that is all true. Also a lot of people talk like "Oh I would hit someone/thing" but not really mean it. And that just encourages people like that.

Hearing a criminal defense lawyer rip into abusers was actually a little healing. Thanks, Bruce.
Agree. Love the fact he Hates his clients and hates them even more for destroying his chance to help them, as the pay him for (or sometimes not as he said)… His JOB is to reduce the penalty more than acquit them completely when they are obviously guilty

@@TalkBack17 So sorry. Hugs to you, internet stranger.
@@christiannilsen2835 People often don't understand that criminal defense litigators aren't "siding with the defendant" and aren't trying to re-victimize the victims. They really are just doing their jobs, and that is making sure the defendant gets a fair trial and that includes using every legal option/opportunity available provided by the law. Without criminal defense attorneys, we would have no judicial system. I know a couple of them that won't take sexual assault cases when the victim is a child because it inflames their own past trauma. But, there's not a single defense attorney who actually wants a child abuse case to walk through their doors. I get "second-hand anger" when people make comments about colleagues "helping pedos". They're just doing their jobs. No one says that about attys who accept capital murder cases and that's considered the "worst crime" or law to break. It comes with the death penalty in some states.
So, thank you for pointing out that defense attorneys don't "support" criminal abusers just because they end up representing them.
@@B_Bodziak great reply with details. Not an easy job. It had to wear on you emotionally. Same as for police officers etc. But we need the balance.. but on the other side I am binging Dexter.. and he found a way to somve this stuff lol
"This is a circumstantial case, because there's no eye witness "
Looks like there was an excellent eye witness. It's just unusual for the star witness to also be the perpetrator 😂
I always get the feeling when he repeatedly says there's no way she's dead, it's because he's beat her up so many times before and she never died then so how could she be dead now?
Such a classic case of getting away with something bad for so long that when finally tragedy strikes he probably thinks to himself "I didn't even hit her that hard" or "That's not even the hardest I've hit her".
He is surprised because she appeared alive when he left her. But she was in bed and knocked out or sleeping and had a brain bleed concussion, a dire need for medical care. His defence should have asked to plead guilty to failing to render assistance, there by emphasizing " She was alive when I left her" I expect the police did say assault when they picked him up but they would be sure that wasn't recorded.
He is even stomping his feet in a tantrum. I didn’t I didn’t stomp stomp. Yeah George ya did. Enjoy life in prison.
Painfully sad but true.
That’s 100% accurate. I’ve met people who endured absolutely vile abuse that would make your skin crawl.
Almost all these guys have a chip on their shoulder and as a result have a delicate ego. It always escalates, and it always escalates because they have this weird notion of “proving” themself. As the woman becomes more confident in the fact that his behavior is not normal, or the result of passion, and isn’t a twisted sign of how deeply he cares for her, these types of guys usually start becoming increasingly violent.
First it’s because he’s off the handle and he tells her and himself it’s because he loves her so much and ‘she makes him crazy’. Then, it’s to intimidate her because the initial shock and sincerity of a few apologies has worn off. Next, it’s to one up her because she’s probably developed an “attitude” by this point (meaning she’s hit him back or threatened to leave or called him a woman beating POS which hit him in a soft spot). After that, his ego is bruised and vulnerable because she’s right, he’s a bit** (much like the post pubescent 15 y/o hitting prepubescent 11 y/os at the skate park). Then the incidents escalate to be all, end all, this is the last crazy night, whoever gets the last word or blow in, wins, she’s leaving tonight, she’s finally going to tell her family or a good friend or my mom, I have to stop her.
They’re emboldened by the fact that no one did anything when she had black eyes and concussions and when the nurse knows on the DL that she didn’t fall down the stairs herself but can’t do anything about it. They tell themselves it’s normal and everyone knows, but nobody really knows so they can’t do anything as long as you deny, deny, and lie.
Eventually they develop a mindset where they know it’s wrong but they convince themselves it’s a “private” “home” matter, and it’s quite normal, just crappy when someone lets the word get out.
Bizarre and stupid when you look from the outside, why wouldn’t one of them just leave and call the cops? It’s like boiling a frog in water. It starts nice and warm and slowly starts bubbling over time allowing the frog to adapt until it’s unbearable.
@@penderkev hi Kevin, he would still be charged with the assault that occasioned in her death. This would only make sense as an additional charge, or if he did not commit the assault
The fact he beat her unconscious and then got even more pissed that she wasn’t responding to him like it was on purpose is insane. Like, how stupid is he? He acts like she wasn’t responding to him out of spite instead of being knocked out cold from him bashing her head against the wall. Just goes to show all the money in the world can’t fix stupid.
He was born rich
Too lenient!!!
No excuse for that. Does the judge belong to the same country club as George's family. Good Ole boys system obviously!
My mom would do the same concept when I was young. She couldn't handle her emotions properly, and they were very extreme emotions (not moods). She would get upset about her hands hurting or items breaking because she was hitting me with them. She would get even more angry during the violent episode if I cried, didn't cry, showed pain, didn't show pain, reacted, didn't react...just a lose lose situation always. I would like to say though that unlike this crapbucket my mom is a sweet, dedicated, and wonderful woman who has struggled with her own issues and finally pushed herself to get help a few years ago.
@@nicoleschultz7782 Thats so awesome and I envy your reclaimed relationship ❤
I just figured it out. The reason he went along and co-operated so much is because he thought she had identified him as the suspect and gave her testimony already. We as the viewer know she’s dead, but he was singing like a canary on himself precisely because he didn’t. He thought that by telling his side, he was really doing damage control and not implicating himself in a murder.
Facts.
Nailed it!
It was still dumb on his part to talk to the cops, even if Yeardley lived he still would have talked himself to prison
No shit
Exactly 💯!!!!
If he had a Lawyer like yourself (and his Dad could probably afford it) he wouldn’t be in prison for Life. If he had a Father like yourself he would never have laid his hands on any woman in the first place! The Wisdom of your words are Pure Gold…..Priceless. ❤
He took her laptop so she’d be forced to keep contact with him and he’d have power over her. Keep that in mind when you think, “just leave.” The most dangerous time is when you try to leave an abuser.
You are so right. The most dangerous time is when you leave and when you're pregnant (leading cause of death of pregnant women is homicide)
Except he threw her laptop in the dumpster.
He was drunk playing golf with his dad earlier that day. This is not the first time he was rough with Yeardley. Friends on both sides knew it. I thought his dad’s money would get him off but it didn’t.

Yes, the irony is that if he had known he had killed her he wouldn’t have talked to the police and expensive lawyers would have gotten him off. Bruce is a great guy to have in your corner for sure but he wouldn’t have any qualms if this guy was his client and walked. A win is a win, right?

What makes this even worse is how many people knew George was abusing Yeardley and admitted they knew months prior. His friends knew. Her friends knew. Her mom knew.
His dad knew. His dad was the one he was drinking with all day prior.
That is awful! Poor girl!
And that people heard the abuse that night and did nothing!!
He probably learned that behavior from his dad. But I can't understand the rest of the people who knew. Then again, I've tried to counsel or talk sense to someone in an abusive relationship.

Yeahh lol, cant believe he even said that… shows his character.. All about the money!
@@JJ-P92 I mean partly but I think it more speaks to the types of ppl domestic abusers are , not only do they raise their hands to ppl who wld never hit them back but they also never pay their way and it is ALWAYS someone else's fault. Basically they are scumbags in everyway.
@@chaislaw5014 Oh of course, I totally agree with you!!
When Bruce says “this narcissistic bastard” I actually laughed out loud! My dog looked at me like i was crazy!
As long as the dog only looked at you like you were crazy but didn't say "you're crazy" ... lolol.
I love how Bruce always talks to the camera like he’s trying to rationalize with an irrational criminal sitting on the other side of the screen. 😂😂
But they pay the bills I guess
I think one of the most understated parts of this whole thing was that this guy was talking to three other girls. He could have just messed around with any of the others but his ego just could not stand to let this one go. I don't think that gets brought up enough when talking about if he deserves a second chance.
Literally. He didn’t see that poor girl as a person, he saw her as property
Yep. He’d been cheating and beat her to death for LEAVING him and THEN sleeping with someone else…..
But, while they were broken up, she hooked up with someone else. The whole thing that set him off
@@notqali and? Does that mean he had to beat her death because her actions “set him off”??
@@notqali what are you saying? most people move on after a break up. I have no say in who my ex is sleeping with
Bruce your sarcastic comments always have me lmao like a crazy lady! I listen to you from my headphones while cooking, cleaning, etc and my husband is always asking me if I’m ok lol
I know this is super serious but when he kept saying, "I did not kill her! I did not!" I was waiting for "Oh Hi, Mark!"
YES!! SAME! God I felt terrible but oh my god if that isn’t what immediately popped into my head.
This is the comment I came here to find.
Me too.
Life imitates art, I guess.
Finally a role that Tommy Wiseau can play.
ive watched the original video, surprised i never thought of this until this comment.
His mother is absolutely appalling , the way she spoke about her poor son! Money does not give you the right to kill someone or on top of that minimize the act of murder. You can understand why he thinks he could talk his way out of murder charge. His mother probably threw money at every single thing he's done wrong since he was born , just brutal and sickening entitlement
I bet her and her family have gotten so used to a life where they're basically above everything, including the law. You can see it in how George acted like he was entitled to Yeardley and just ignored any of her feelings
Mommy was probably shocked when her baby boy got convicted and sentenced to 23 years, just assuming that money would solve their issues
Why did he not think to call a lawyer right away with all “daddy’s” money
@@kpag3030 He didnt know she was dead and just thought she called the police to say he hit her, again. And he was going to bluff his way out of it he said she said blah blah blah
If this bag of dog poop had half a brain he would have known to shut up and have the law firm his daddy uses to talk to the police on his behalf.
@@kpag3030 Because he is an entitled little prick who thinks he can get away with anything.
Not ONCE during the first part of this interview, does he ask anything about her wellbeing. Not once.
That’s a very telling indicator as to his character. He’s not at all concerned about her, even knowing he left her bleeding and obviously injured. Despicable.
When I was about 13 years old, a drunk man that my PoS step dad owed money too kicked in our kitchen door late at night looking for him. I was at the refrigerator getting something to drink when he came in, and he lunged forward at me and pushed me up against the fridge. Then our two dogs, a Pitbull and Rottweiler immediately took him down and kept him there until police could arrive.
Having a drunk, angry individual break into your house violently is super terrifying.
Sorry that happened but good doggos ❤
My cats would not have taken the guy down.
@@neptunespierrot Yeah. They were a big part of my life throughout being a teenager.
Damn those dogs are GANGSTER
Good Doggies 🥺
I felt like I was watching an episode of SNL's "The Californians." I kept wondering if he took the 405 to the 5.
😂😂😂😂
I have been involved in situations like this as a police officer and a professional investigator for longer than I care to remember. Listening to your commentary or reaction to these interviews is priceless. Some defense attorneys come across as zealots, but you have a much more pragmatic way of discussing your job. I enjoy these videos immensely.
Yeardley locked herself in her room in fear just for him to kick a hole in the door for him to reach through and unlock like in a horror movie. The terror she felt is maddening, I’ve felt it but have been lucky i was found soon after. She fought to the end and this monster snuffed her light out. Also, I loved the death stare Ed got every time he said something stupid.
Yep Ed is concerned with the stolen laptop situation ha

I had my wife of 19 years tell me she was leaving me and moving in w some dude in his 60’s. The rage I felt cannot be described. Yet, not one hand was laid on her, not one threatening gesture or even threat. I believe I am a part of the vast majority of men who would never lay a hand on a woman. To those who do, get control of yourself and pray the rest of us don’t discover who you are.
I was gonna say the same thing,most of us inherently know that and don’t need to be told
I have mad respect for you and I'm deeply sorry that you went though that.
@@DarthRayah Thank you. Oddly enough, it forced me into a better world. I got married at 19 so now in my 40s learning to be by myself is weird but I’m learning to enjoy.
@@trottyong learning to enjoy the world around you through your eyes only is such a beautiful experience. enjoying getting to know yourself by yourself is one of the great things life has to offer. hoping the best for you man

One of your best Reacts Broadcasts! Thank you, Michael. This had to be a difficult one for you. Same age group, athlete, life destroyed by Narcissist Rage & Jeslousy! No one can leave these maniacs! So glad to know you have a good Dad! And, thank you, Bruce- excellent job! ❤ I feel so bad for this beautiful 22 year old girl, Yeardley, who had just begun her life. Her family will never gets over this. No one really does. Some, learn to live with the pain but no one ever gets over this kind of loss. It’s too deep. It’s A WOUND to the SOUL! It just can’t heal. 😢
I'm only 18 minutes in and so far he came to her place, entered against her wishes, backed her in to a corner and physically shook her. The whole time this knuckle head says he only wanted to talk and seems annoyed that the girl was defensive. Of course she was defensive! She knew what he was like. I don't know him and already have understanding of why she was rightfully scared. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
It's so bizarre to hear someone talk about a girl acting defensively and freaking out in her own previously locked bedroom as if she's the one who's in the wrong.
He punched a hole in her door to unlock it and attack her, and he thought she was in the wrong because she was being defensive. Unreal.
He’s the only person I literally want to smack in the mouth, and I’m tiny.
@@derp195 It really is bizarre. It's kind of terrifying that he's not the only one in the world who has such a twisted view that paints their aggressive behaviours as normal and normal fear reactions as problematic. Those people are ticking time bombs.
The full story is everywhere. He'd had previous incidents of public violence and she was trying to get away
@@derp195been binge watching this channel today as on holidays. It seems to be a running theme with these criminals how divorced from reality they all are.
My mother was a public defense lawyer. She said that if she thought of her job as getting her clients off, she wouldn't be able to do it. There would be too much pressure, regardless of whether she thought they were guilty or innocent. She thought of her job as being to ensure that her clients received every single right they have coming to them, including as effective a defense as she was capable of producing. If she does that, and they walk into a disaster of a case with their mouth... well then, they'll still get the best defense she can offer, but that'll be pretty bad. And that's okay as far as she's concerned, because if they receive all their rights and the result is a conviction -- especially because they've confessed with zero pressure -- then the system has worked pretty much the way it's supposed to work.
My grandfather was a horrific pedo that got let out of prison on a technicality because “he was denied his rights” so I 100% agree with your mom. Defense lawyers are important to make sure the guilty don’t have grounds for their conviction to be overturned! The justice system isn’t efficient and makes many mistakes, but when someone violent and dangerous to society does get locked up, they should stay there!
That's a very realistic view, good lawyer.
@@liamevans7661 Yes, and that was a significant part of her reasoning. She believed passionately in the process of the law, when it was implemented by good people doing their best, as an effective way to do justice. So she figured that if her client was convicted, but she'd made sure he got a truly fair trial, then she had helped to do justice by ensuring that he wouldn't be able to get out by claiming he didn't get his rights, the way your grandfather did.
And by also making sure the prosecution had to really show all its work, she was reducing the chances that an innocent person would be convicted. If, despite her best efforts, they could actually prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, then there was a pretty low risk that they had someone innocent by accident. Usually, the cases of incorrectly convicted people are in situations where there's an inadequate defense.
So she figured that, if she did her job correctly, there was both a lesser chance that an innocent person would be convicted, and a lesser chance that a guilty person would get off due to an infringement of their rights. Either way, her job was a necessary part of the process.
I remember her every time someone in these threads demands to know, "How can anyone defend a guy like that?" There are so many other reasons to want someone to receive a fair trial than because you believe they're innocent and should go free.
Yes. This is how we hold our justice system accountable for correctly putting criminals away and ensuring fairness for everyone.
That explains the correct reason for the choice of that career.
I'm coming back to watch this again. I'm getting the impression that he went down there, smashed his way in, and attacked her. He banged her head against the wall so hard he caused brain damage. She started to have seizures from the injury. Since she was 'freaking out' and acting like a 'fish out of water' (the seizures) he became enraged that she 'wouldn't talk to him'. He attacked her, knocked her down to the floor, threw her back onto the bed, and stormed out, having no idea in a huff the reason why she was not talking to him. He was physically assaulting a woman that was already incapacitated and possibly semi-conscious or unconscious. 'She should have been screaming'. Maybe it did strike him now that it was odd that she stopped screaming halfway through the fight. She should have been screaming indeed.
When he said that I became legitimately scared of him, he’s so detached from reality. He’s disgusting. And dumb.
Holy shit…
@@Imperial-Monke Does that sound plausible to you?
@@Ocrilat normally I would say “no one is that stupid “ but I absolutely think you’re right. Dude is a Neanderthal- I think your story makes sense.

@@Ocrilat more than plausible, that's exactly what I heard, too.

This is scary. I have an ex boyfriend stalking me. Yesterday he came 2 times to my house. I live on the 3th floor and then he's inside my house ringing the doorbell on the 3th floor! He just wants to talk with me!!! I'm afraid something like this can happen 😮
@yvonne document EVERYTHING, get a ring doorbell and a deadbolt! Not a chain lock, a deadbolt. Then you can file everything with the police and get an RO. If he violates the RO he’s going to jail.

Despite Detective Ed’s best efforts this guy managed to give a full murder confession without realizing it
Detective Ed hahaha
rich kid...probably used to whining his way out of arguments, not today bud
Lol, like Ed sure like gave it like his best like effort.
He knew what was going on and played the cops. He knew he killed her! He knew he was going away for it. He wanted it to look like an accident and he had no intention of killing her, when probably that was his intent from the get go. The police knew he did it, but he pretended she was still alive to look like an innocent little girl-friend beater. The guy is homicidal psychopath and should have gotten life with no parole. Him saying, “She’s dead, really?” Worst acting ever. The cops should have told him “She's was alive, got revived in the hospital, and told them you were trying to kill her. Here’s her statement, is she lying?” Have him take a lie detector test which he will, “fail.” Get him to fess up to avoid the death penalty.
@@prant8998 That's an interesting thought. Maybe they should have told him she was in the ICU and yeah, how would he react to that, I wonder? The thing about polygraphs, though. They are complete BS. Pseudo science. All they do is measure vitals and it's really up to the person administering the test to guestimate whether or not someone is being deceptive. But you can do that with good instincts just as well. What they hope will happen is that a lie detection exam will create enough intimidation and stress that the experience will help the cops get a confession from someone when they don't have enough evidence to prosecute. If polygraphs had any merit the results would be admissible in court, but they aren't. Unfortunately. It's too bad nobody has invented a legitimate lie detector. By now you would think somebody would have done that.
I think people need to understand how BAD Head Trauma can be. My friend simply slipped and fell and landed on the back of her head and went unconscious - she told me how she couldn't stand up and was vomiting and I immediately knew she had at least one brain bleed. If no one had found her she could have died. Another had a concussion , but seemed "aware" until the next day when she couldn't remember words. Your brain only has about 8% extra space to swell in your skull and that's very little. Aways get medically checked out if there was head trauma.
The friend who had the brain bleeds from falling had 3 brain bleeds and still has never regained her sense of smell* and had a personality change. She was seen by doctors. Head trauma can really be fatal and life changing.
A million years ago when I had a bad drug addiction, I got clocked in the jaw by a homeless man. It felt like falling into a bed full of pillows. When I hit the ground I became conscious again. I did not understand why my husband was there, because we had broken up. I lived with a friend and her boyfriend. After trying to explain this to him, he asked me what month it was. I thought it was November. It was May. I forgot 6 months of my life, had forgotten becoming an addict. I looked down at the marks on my arms and started to cry. He tried to get me to the hospital, and on the drive there I began remembering things in small flashes, not chronologically, just pieces here and there. By the time we got to the hospital, I didn't want to go in there anymore, because I did remember everything. I managed to get up the courage to leave him again 6 months later. For about a year or so after I left him, I would wake up sitting straight up in bed screaming. I would dream that I woke up in a dirty hotel roomwith him. When I would try to explain to him that I couldn't be there, I had left him, I would see the look of concern come over his face, and he would tell me that it had happened again, I had lost my memory. I didn't know what PTSD was then. Eventually the nightmares faded, but every now and then I still have a dream where the past 30 years of my life never happened, and I'm still in that dirty hotel room, waking up to my ex-husband.
I know this sounds like some bad made up Reddit story, but it's true. Completely true. I never thought I'd make it to be as old as I am now, and when I look back on my life it's with a weird sort of amazement that I actually have survived this far. Head trauma doesn't mess around. 30 years later, I'm starting to forget things I should know, and the doctors are saying I may end up with dementia from that very long ago KO.
You taught me a crucial tip. Thank you
@@MG-hz7wi🫂
I knew a guy who hit his head, he had fallen on the stairs carrying a side table.
He developed epilepsy, and his brain injury changed him into another person completely. Never recovered, constantly has fits and psychosis now.
It’s crazy how quickly some of these killers go from being big and tough at the moment of the murder to bawling their eyes out the second they’re charged.
He started after crying after he found out she was dead, not that he was being charged. He didn't even ask about why he was being taken to the police station, he just got in the car. he knew he was in trouble he just didn't realize it was murder.
Don’t get confused tho- those tears are for themselves.

A better gift would be the second part of the Jodi Arias video
I cannot comprehend the mindset he had where he's fine to flirt with a bunch of girls at once, but he has to beat a girl that *he's not even dating anymore* to death for being with someone else. Such an alien kind of reasoning
I bet he has a lot of dates in prison?
It’s all about his pride and ego, like an animal in the wild, no sense of respect for the people he deals with.
@@Mari-lv1rd Wild animals still have respect for other things. Other things can kill them. Even a male lion has the fear of another male lion, draught, and they know better than to eat all of the prey animals or those animals don't go on to repopulate and they starve. Most wild animals avoid fights because there are no "wild antibiotics" or "wild doctors" to fix that broken bone, they just die and the herd/pack/flock becomes less strong.
Edit - Wild animals behave better than Prep School Jerks.
With these type, it's not about being able to just have a girl. Their pride and ego demands that they have everything they want, period.
This is how narcissists are. They can do them but you can’t do you. They own you in their twisted minds. Sick.

“…This guy is probably guilty”
Sometimes people are guilty. Nothing wrong with saying it
Cops have one job, and that is to make someone look guilty. Sometimes they’re right, but that doesn’t mean you should ever talk to them. Broken clocks twice a day and all that.
@Sideways I will agree with you there
Both statements are true.
I was in a relationship with a guy like this, and they never even believe they're abusive. They see it as "you dropped a plate," or "you slept with someone else," or anything else they can use to blame you for their belligerence and lack of self control. They don't see it as an irrational way to react to a situation, no matter what's happened. They look at it through the lense of "I'm mad, and you made me mad, so this is your fault and not my responsibility at all," even if they were angry about something that had nothing to do with you whatsoever, if you even look at them wrong they will blow their top. It would shatter their fragile fucking ego if they were to even start to think of them being in the wrong, so it's never their fault. So PLEASE, if you ever see these things in your partner, even if they haven't put their hands on you yet, PLEASE think about this. It leads to this kind of situation SO EASILY and SO QUICKLY. Even if they don't mean to take your life, these kinds of people have no self regulation so their intent really doesn't matter when they get upset. And it could happen at any time, for any little thing. Please look for these things in the people you date, because you deserve better and they don't deserve you.
This is so very well said. Thank you.
I was very fortunate that my abuser never put his hands on me (he once hurt himself which was still deemed "my fault") yet while I made my plans to leave I was terrified he would find out in advance or track me down and cause me harm.
Thankfully I escaped successfully five years ago, but so many do not have that opportunity. Stay strong y'all! ✌️🍍
_This initally started as a short comment but it got a bit too long. Sorry for rambling, this is stuff I'm still processing. I do think it's a good example of very subtle and non physical abuse, though. Anyways, here goes:_
My ex always would always subtly belittle me any chance she had, and also gaslight me into thinking I was on the wrong anytime there was conflict, and that that gave her a reason to be mad at me, and in turn I'd start a process of getting on her good side again. This came to a conclusion of incredible spectacle last year, where at the beinning of which we had agreed to open the relationship and be able to date with other people and not give each other any priority.
Needless to say I still prioritized her (even if I did have other sexual partners) and it all came to the end of the year when she cut off all sexual relationships with me on her own terms, in essense "dumping" me for the gazilionth time (looking back, it was one of the tactics she had at her disposal to manipulate me). In this case, though, I finally decided to actually follow through with that and not be begging her to get back to me. That's where the problem started.
I made the conscious effort to stop prioritizing her and giving a shit about what she thought of me, and started openly talking on our friend group about other people I was dating. This was something I didn't do before because I was always walking on eggshells with her, and I knew the mere mention of me liking another person would have her go ballistic. But at that point I didn't care because I had decided that I didn't want anything romantic with her by now, and I was willing (and also oblivous to the extent of the abuse at the time as well) to let it all in the past thinking that we were both mature enough to do that and not get overrun by petty feelings of jealousy, and we could just move on and have a good memory of each other.
(And also a big *besides*, the relationship was as distant as ever and it felt to me as if I was wading through molasses to make it work. Later I'd come to find out that it was not the case and it was all part of her manipulation game. She'd manage the relationship on her own terms and make it impossible to work, but yet also tease me with the possibility of it by being intimate every once in a while and generally giving very mixed signals to me. This last dumping she did was just part of that game.)
It all came crashing down when she got too jealous and asked me, completely out of the blue, if I had gotten tested for STDs between the time I had relations with other partners and the 2 or 3 times I did with her throughout the year. I had not, and I was transparent about it. And that was just what she needed to try and manipulate me again. Because the thing is, never ever, did she mention that she gets regularily tested (supposedly, mind you), and never ever did she mention that as a pre-requisite to have intercourse with her if we were going to open the relatioship. And never ever did she ask me for a certificate right before we had intercourse. So really, it was a 50-50 thing, we were both irresponsible with taking care of our health. But no, she framed it as if it was entirely my fault, that I was a piece of shit and that I was egotistical and exposing her to STDs almost on purpose.
For the first time in my life, I called out for help to my parents, and they gave me a much, much needed different perspective on the matter (different to my own echo chamber fueled by her manipulation throughout the entire relatioship, at least). And so I managed to come out of that hole. Because again she had succesfully got to me, I was feeling like a piece of shit and I was actually asking for help to my parents to get tested.
But with that help and time itself I realized that I was not a piece of shit, and that I owed her no apology, and that I would not tolerate more abuse and manipulation from her. So I cut off all contact with her. As much as I could, that is. I'd still see her at gatherings, and she'd throw shit at me constantly, but never revealing why. Our friends started feeling uneasy about that and eventually asked her about it (on a day I was not present, of course)
She took the opportunity and tried to out me as a piece of shit on that friend group by victimizing herself and framing the story as me being a piece of shit again, and completely omitting the fact that she never asked me for an STD test on the countless oportunities she had for that before the fact. She managed to manipulate some people, who were not much of a loss to me when cutting them off in the the aftermath, but some others had enough integrity to see through her ruse, call her out on her bullshit and stay on my side.
As of today, I have another girflriend who is very caring and a great person, and I also have a job, things that my ex has explicitly said to be mad about to my friends during her little operation to out me as an awful person, being a clear indication that she does not give that much of a fuck about STDs in the first place and that she's just resentful and very jealous of me moving on and leaving her behind.
Well said! Hear hear!
Unfortunately, when I was about Yeardley's age I was naive enough that I also ended up in a relationship with an entitled, possessive, gaslighting narcissist. It can be so hard for young people to know when they're in an unhealthy or even abusive relationship. I really REALLY wish that young people were educated much more about the traits of an abusive partner, as well as traits that make them abusive.
Lucky it wasn't a parent
@@maneckineckbeard1749 It is very simple - he hits you - you leave. Never, ever, go back. Never. It is an uncrossable line. If you go back, he reckons it's OK. You will forgive him again and again and again.
I had a woman attack me once. She came at me, banging her fists against my chest. I grabbed her wrists to stop the attack. She swung up her knees.
I got irritated, picked her up and set her back down next to me.
Then I proceeded to leave.
There’s no need to get into a fight. I broke up with her and that was that. I didn’t have to hurt her, so I didn’t.
I absolutely love Bruce’s humor. He tells it, like it really is. So smart and hilarious.😂😂😂
He’s gonna be free at 45years old with a supportive rich family. He’s gonna be fucking FINE and I hate that.
Great reaction Bruce x
He's going to be one scarred man when he leaves prison. His upper class ass is getting worked out and he's finding out how cruel the world can really be. So there's that.
The jury was convinced he didn't mean to kill her so yeah you get less time for that.
@@Letsberealish I agree, if it was a normal person without financial backing. This dude has money, so he will have somewhat of a life after he gets out.
Unless his parents die
Plus the rich parents somehow fixed George 5’s trust/money so it can’t be awarded in a civil suit. Can’t remember where I read that if I can find the info, I’ll post a link. But I think the Hugely parents are high enough in the food chain to figure a workaround to keep theirs and George 5’s cash in the family and not pay it out.
He probably took the laptop so she’d have a reason to come back to him after all this is over. He presumed she’d live and so he needed a reason to see her afterwards, for a number of likely reasons. It’s not something that is unnecessary to her life, it’s something she borderline cannot function without, and by securing the laptop in his possession, he (thought he) secured another chance to further the abuse, have her correct his public image on his behalf or even continue the “conversation.”
Whatever reason it is, he knew that had she lived, she would have returned in some fashion for that laptop.
ya...he totally was using the laptop to keep the connection going...i legit feel he didnt know she died, or meant to kill her, but hes still an abusive pos that deserves what he gets
Yep I 100% agree. Especially because he chose the word “collateral”… That was so telling. Collateral as in she owes him another visit or a relationship, and her getting back a laptop (which presumably was essential and had a bunch of important documents if she was a student) left her with no other option but to comply.
He also likely wanted to go through her emails and private messages.
@@jayrod9979 yesss this too! He really felt he owned her, and therefore, by extension, had a right to her possessions too. That wasn’t even him stealing so much as him taking what he presumed belonged to him already.
@@jayrod9979 Yeah but he threw her laptop in the garbage.

You’ll be in another room ….FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
I don’t think he’s upset that Yeardley died, but how her death is going to affect him.
“I beat the sh*t out of her, but I didn’t mean to kill her”
Give me a f-ing break.
I doubt it. Some people are genuinely remorseful after they murder somebody. He makes a number of self-incriminating statements after it's disclosed and even expresses sympathy for the victim. A lot of murderers don't do that.
@@abebuckingham8198 hopefully, you’re right, and he’s human.
@@abebuckingham8198 haha the only statements he made were self incriminating ones, before and after finding out she's dead
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when George had to finally talk to his father. The reason I say this is when he was asked who to call he said "Call my mom." Lisa asked him "What about your father?" He said "She'll tell him." 😂😂😂😂
I love your commentary on this video. I had an ex break into my house and sexually assault me , I had to run away on foot for over 8 blocks to get away from him. When it came time for the trial, he said he "thought it was all a fun game " I dont know why it's so hard for some people to listen when someone tells them they want space or they dont want to talk to you.
Sorry you went through that.
People like this have zero empathy for others. They simply don't recognize that other people have feelings and a right to their own body, life or property. When someone like this looks at another person they see an object to be used, not a person with feelings. They don't hear because other people's feelings don't exist to them.
That’s horrible and I’m sorry you had to go through that. I had an ex that was held captive, tied to a bed, and assaulted for an entire night by two guys. Their defense in court was “they thought she was into it”.
Of course the jury didn’t convict. You can’t fix someone that thinks this behavior is okay, they have to be kept apart from normal functioning society.
@@cruisinguy6024 how the hell did the jury not convict? That poor woman. Going through a trial and then 12 people tell you you're lying.
@@Blech-h9z if I remember correctly it was a hung jury. Prosecutor declined to retry the case. She was 17 at the time it happened.
To make things even more infuriating she was one of the few SA victims that does everything right….as soon as she was let loose she went to the hospital to have a kit done and immediately reported to the police. So few SAs even get reported and here they had a full kit done on her.
But it only takes 1 stupid MFer on the jury….
They want what they want. "Sry did you say something?"
Don't even deal with someone who doesn't take "no" for an answer. Also test people by taking a half-step back if you feel they're too close while talking. If they step closer to you, rather than instinctively accept the small distance you just created, fck em. It's not a matter of rudeness, it shows their aggressiveness, or at least their insensitivity.
I was once arrested on a false charge, and I remembered all the shows where innocent people were convicted because they thought only guilty people had to worry. I second guessed myself since, but not any more. I am glad I believed the advice when I heard it and waited for legal guidance!
Michael and Bruce Rivers. Both excellent criminal defense attorneys. You cannot find any better
Over an hour of Mr. Rivers. This is bliss.
Yeah two of my favorite channels and a full hour. Bliss indeed!!
best christmas gift
Christmas has been amazing this year, 1 mil by summer next year for sure
Usually someone would have to pay big bucks for an hour of his billable time lol
@@shizbang Great point!
As someone who recently survived almost this exact scenario, ex-boyfriend showing up to my apartment extremely drunk, punching holes in my door trying to knock it down, etc, I am just so grateful that I was physically able to fight him off. It wasn't really until watching this video that I realized just how easily I could have died there.
Holy crap! I hope you move and I hope you’re okay!
I'm so sorry that happened to you. But don't let it be lost! There's a reason that you attract somebody who is violent. Find out what that reason is and avoid it in the future. Do not Fall For Love bombing. Do not fall for anyone telling you that you are the one that made them do things like that. Before you get into another serious relationship, get good quality counseling to help identify what led to the nightmare you just escaped.
Hopefully you'll never wait to call the police if anything like that happens again. Also, cameras are a good idea.
I found that if you tell your new boyfriend that your last boyfriend hit you, especially if he hit you on more than 1 occasion, your new boyfriend will eventually hit you too, even if he never hit a woman before. It’s like you told him you will take a few hits & not call the cops.
I REALLY love responses that, by their nature, blame the victim (in all the nicest ways, of course), like self-help tips. NOT!! What did you do to attract... xyz? Sometimes you were breathing. Sometimes, bad guys look for opportunities and then take them. Some bad guys like heads and you (like me, maybe) don't like dying your hair!!!
30:47 - THIS IS EXACTLY IT. You can tell, from the way he keeps repeating "what she did," that he feels like he was grievously wronged. It's not that he was abusive, nooooo. It's that she broke up with him and had the audacity to move on. Abusers like this can't handle no longer being in control.
So like now like he can like get like beaten up by like the biggest like violent criminal in prison. Like hopefully his cellmate.
@@TheDickChappy97 Cheating is a shitty thing to do but it's not punishable by death and are you condoning domestic violence? You might need some counseling. Anyway, they both were screwing around and she had broken up with him. I doubt she wanted anything to do with him but he wouldn't let go of the relationship. He's stupid and he's a violent monster. She didn't take the right steps to get him out of her life permanently.
@@TheDickChappy97 and they weren't married, so you can't use an example that relates to a legal contract. They weren't engaged, either.
@@cantfindmykeys I dont think you get the comment. The original comment is mocking the boyfriend for blaming the girl.
@@i.w2901 Oh, I see. But your original comment has disappeared so I don't remember what you said. Ok, so basically we agree that he is a violent, mentally disturbed person. Cheers.
I swear seeing and reading all these comments about how this dude talks is seriously making my day.
“You’re not here to dance with us, you’re here because she’s dead.” Great line. Also, you crack me the f up when you imitate his dumb way of speaking 😂
“Does he deserve it?” Yes he does. 10000%. Narcissists like him never change. It’s always everyone else’s fault, not their own. He should’ve been given life, but I digress.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE
He'll be out at 43 and inherit millions.
😂 It's so refreshing to hear a Licensed Attorney using FANTASTIC cursey words. Love your commentary!!!!🤣🤣. I thaught I was the only one with a POTTY MOUTH 😂😂.
Emily D Baker is a great channel! She is a lawyer and loves the cursy words too!
How often does he play LaCrosse?
You know this family probably settled to avoid the stories about missing maids and nannies coming out 😂
“ she was hurting my hand with her face“ fucking love this guy lol I would definitely hire him if I were in need but seeing as how I’m not a dirtbag hopefully I’ll never need a criminal lawyer.
Never say never... innocent people are arrested daily but I know what you mean.
Stay legal ✌
Sometimes people fall under their luck and get charges for posession of substances. Other than that I really can't think of many common crimes that people get arrested for where they're not a pos for it
I had a therapy client who was court-ordered for treatment after his domestic violence conviction. He explained why his wife "made him angry" and he couldn't help himself. I asked him if it ever been angry at a cop over a ticket. No response to that one.
Misogyny is a helluva thing.
Exactly.
Or like angry at like some huge like hulk that could like easily like kick the crap out of him. Selective anger, bully-style.
Yes my ex’s favourite line was but you know how to push my buttons! Still to this day he doesn’t think he ever did anything wrong even through he beat me for 10 years and I nearly lost my life the last time.
She didn’t die right away. She didn’t have any housemates at home to call for help and George just left and denied. Wonder how his dad treats his mom. Their friends knew there was a history of George being rough with Yeardley. They all knew he drank too much which is saying a lot with the reputation UVA has for being a party school.
The skull is a closed box. The brain has a lot of blood vessels on the surface. If they or any other vessels are ruptured from a blow the blood doesn’t have any place to go so it’s going to pressure the brain. The heart is still pumping more blood into the skull. Eventually enough pressure builds and the patient dies.
The guy was afraid of his dad
College level lacrosse is a very rough sport. It's like rugby, but everybody carries a big stick! So George knew how to hit.
@@MultiLimpetMakes sense with how he only wanted them to call his mom. It does make me wonder about the relationship he has with his father. At the same time someone who scares him, but also someone he wants to emulate.
I was going to say that. Because he was too comfortable abusing her.
Bruce I really commend you on not only how you explain and joke about these situations, but you also show compassion in explaining why some people are in the hot seat. You also give dudes some really good life advice and doing things right! Love this channel❤
The only thing Yardley ever did wrong was date this incredible waste of human skin.And I'm not even going to suggest any of this was her fault. She tolerated this plank for 2 years, she moved on, they were no longer dating. She wasn't cheating, except in his malfunctioning mind. That's the only question I have: how could she tolerate this privileged, moronic child? Listening to him recount the crime as if he was in any way justified was one of the most excruciating things I've ever listened to, and I appreciate Bruce Rivers being our spirit animal in this.
Abusers are pros at getting their tentacles into someone's brain. Anyone who doesn't understand that has never been through it.
Never had an abusive ex, thank god, but I did have an emotionally manipulative and abusive best friend for a while. The type of person who would freak out over any tiny perceived slight and then threaten to kill themselves if you tried to leave. It was awful.
My neighbour once got beaten up by her boyfriend I had no idea what was happening. all the banging, are they moving furniture around in the middle of the night? Until I heard a faint "help!" How could she be silent until then? Seemed surreal. The cops were called, but then, just shooed away. Her face looked awful for days. I have never been friends with the kind of people who could casually describe an assault like this. As a newspaper reporter I often dealt with police and all of them were afraid of violence.Would not want to get involved in a fight. But this accused wasn't afraid, because he only beat up women, who could not defend themselves.
I have listened to this one a couple times because it’s such a disturbing example of raw entitlement. Terrifying that he just could not accept No from this young lady. What a tragic waste of human life.
Daddy's not going to be able to get him out of this one
I think what gets idiots like this into real trouble is not understanding how overmatched they are with a small woman.
How is it terrifying and disturbing. Personally to me it's not disturbing or terrifying at all
@@adamturner3797I need so badly for you to expand on this comment
Damn. Props to you bc his accent just kills me lol. I’ve heard this interrogation once before and I forgot how annoying he sounds
Your imitation of him is soooo funny. And he deserves EVERY BIT of it.
It is “Daddy’s” not Daddies. Where did you get your GED?
I just discovered this channel today, this is my new favorite channel
"How the fuck is she dead"
"Because you killed her George"
"How the fuck is she dead"
"BECAUSE YOU KILLED HER" I'm sorry but that was hilarious
He couldn’t handle the reality of the truth!
"How could this have happened?'
"You just told us."
Sounds like he’s brutally honest to his detriment (well, honest to a degree) because he’s never been held accountable or had to suffer any real consequences that his money couldn’t get him out of him. He didn’t even realize how badly he was incriminating himself.
Yep. He figured he'd just have to answer to the university where mommy & daddy would "fix" everything with a big, fat donation.
Sounds like my ex husband said to the psychologist we went to when he said "Well I don't go in bars and beat people up, I only beat her up and she said things she should've. Then got up and left the room saying " I don't have to listen to anyone on how I handle her " That's when the Dr said you aren't going home, so he called my brother in another state to come get me as I made a list of some clothes and my brother got them and my car not telling him my ex where I was going except to another dr. My Dr. told me he will kill you at some point. We got divorced. Then married a lawyer, special ops marine. He was so good and protective of me. Only had to get in my ex s face once. I don't what he said, but it worked!
Wow that’s an amazing story. Doctor saved your life .
Bruce 💫 Rivers I heard you choking up on this one - this is the third time I've listened to it because there's so much value in the law and in life's lessons ❤️ yo nana, 1950
This is so sad. Poor girl. Frankly hitting her so hard she started seizing means she probably didn't have a good chance of surviving but I wish he'd called for help.
Amazing! I watched the JCS video previously, your added commentary was PRICELESS. Thank you. I hope you do more of these! 😍
Perfect timing right? JCS is such a legend for dropping a video on Christmas. Hopefully the first of many, cause I watch a ton of interrogation videos, and JCS is the GOAT!!
I did the same!
Aggressors/attackers always say things like "she freaked out"- as if the woman were being crazy or demanding. They gloss over their own actions, presenting the victim's reactions as being inexplicable displays of excessive emotion.
As a victim, it's important not to fall for this intentional confusion: you remember damn well the specifics of what was done to you, and in what sequence. Somehow, the perpetrators' memories have a way of becoming very fuzzy and clueless when it comes to that part just before their targets "freak out."
Unfortunately this also works the other way around. People "freak out" violently after reaching breaking point due to prolonged shit treatment by their narcissist partners. Narcissist partners who of course are always in comparison calm and peaceful, they just do what narcissist do. But of course the narcissit ends up being the victim of "domestic violence".
Thanks Captain Obvious
@@Leon_the_wildcat your face
@@recessional5560aww do you love domestic abusers?
He deacribes kicking her door in, refusing to leave, throwing her on the bed, a nose bleed, her fear and he talks about it as though hes describing a PRANK! I have a feeling that George watched his daddy drink and push his mother around..he thinks its normal and because he didnt "strike " her its all ok. I hope hes learning new habits and behaviours in prison...which by the way, hes got pretty easy at the moment.
All in the middle of the night. I think George himself is accustomed to this type of situation, but his daddy was able to pay off his victims in the past.
Lol what a crazy thing to admit. “Yeah I busted the door down and I beat the shit out of her because I was pissed off”. HOW DOES TELLING ANYONE ANY OF THAT HELP YOU!?!?!
Rich kid entitlement basically. Clearly has gone his full life without being held accountable for any of his actions and he seems to be enough cards short of a full deck to not understand how this situation is different. As an aside having to listen to this guy talk the way he does makes me want to gouge out my eardrums. What an absolute tool.
His mommy says to this day "it was all a drunken mistake." 🤬
There’s a moment in everyone’s life when they realize the person we think of as JCS is just a voiceover actor paid the read a script and the real JCS is a group of people.
The narrator's great. His channel is under the name kizzume.
Who writes the transcript? All of them or just one person?
That moment is right now. I was today years old...
@@rondeeshalee8927 I’m sorry. It’s a difficult moment for all of us.
@@recursor9469 total crime loser writes the scripts great Chanel and funny guy.
The reason why he was giving the cops so much information, by explaining what he did at the crime scene and to the victim, is because he most likely thought that the victim had reported him for beating her up, or at the very least that she was still alive.
Well done genius 👍🏽
@@aliciastalksessions Love all those comments stating the obvious, which was also stated at the beginning of the JCS video, as if they're the first to figure it out.
LMAO… I watched this already when it came out on JCS’s channel and when you brought up how he says “all I wanted to do is *Talk* to her” *”Talk”* lol it’s just the beginning. Just wait, you will be going crazy how many times he says it and the way he says it.
Bruce, I really appreciate that you are trying to help others make the decision to WALK AWAY from the domestic issues. I also appreciate that you are so adamant about never, ever, never, never, ever hitting a woman. I hope people will heed to this warning.
that mentality he's so adament about is why dudes in abusive relationships get arrested for calling the police but ok buddy lol.
women are equal human beings. any circumstance in which you believe it is okay to hit a man is also one where it is okay to hit them. if you believe you should never hit women no matter what, then i hope you feel the same about hitting men, otherwise you're just a hypocrite and nobody should listen to you.
The problem is: those who would need to watch this and hear the message are way too occupied with themselves to watch these videos.
I also appreciate the fact that he didn’t feel the need to all-lives-matter the issue of violence against women. (Yes, hitting men is also wrong. Hitting dogs is wrong. Hitting police officers is wrong. Hitting rabbis is wrong. Hitting pizza parlor employees is wrong.)
@Anonymous Oh, dear Lord. I called it…
@Anonymous if its wrong then tell me why it feels so right 😩
I am not upset that an abuser puts himself at the scene of the crime, admits to breaking down a locked door while wasted, implicates himself, admits that she told him to go away, admits to shaking and choking her, provides a motive, admits to not calling for help, and admits to taking her laptop as collateral. He should be honest and get what he deserves. That being said I do believe that his reaction was genuine and did not think that she died. I am so sad for Yeardley. Such a beautiful young woman.
I have no sympathy or empathy for him he assaulted her and killed her. He’s just trying to make himself the victim
No the reaction was only because he found out he is in trouble. He thought she was alive and had testified, so he was trying to do damage control. This guy is a L and I hope sees he’ll
Bruce's reaction when the guy finally asks for a lawyer after giving away the whole case is hilarious.
This was SO SAD. They both were going to graduate in a few weeks in 2010. George Huguely V was sentenced to 23 years. Yeardley Love's mother was sueing for 29.5 million.
