I agree- he really takes the time to make the witnesses and juries comfortable. This court case has been so enjoyable for me to watch because of the professionalism of the judge, attorneys, scientists, detectives etc. It's masterclass of how our system SHOULD enact justice.
He’s such a gentlemen. You could tell he cares about the law when he gave his speech to Chandler during sentencing. Super respectful to the jury, I’d feel honored had I been on that jury and shown the respect he gave them
This also isn't a contentious case at all since one side is so clearly beyond a shadow of a doubt guilty so when both parties know he's guilty it becomes more civil.
The level of evidence is so high, I cannot believe that he pleads not guilty and makes family and friends testify. I believe this should lead to a longer sentence. What a wicked individual
I came across this channel while researching the case and I'm so impressed. This channel deserves way more recognition in the field of broadcast journalism!
I can't help but think if Chandler was truly innocent, sitting there listening to what happened to his parents would be heartbreaking and emotional for him. The fact that he sits there void of any emotion or expression while listening to these horrible details tells me that his heart is completely cold and he doesn't care. The evidence against him is staggering.
He's putting effort into not showing facial expression. He's numb from nightmares most likely. The reality will hit him a couple of times in prison I bet. He cares. He just knows he fckd his life up. His brother's too.
I love how this sweet judge is always trying to get these people out of their subpoenas for the remainder of the trial... 🤣🤣 He continues to ask with a hopeful disposition if they are excused for the day, or from their subpoena entirely. Lol. I like him. 👍🏼
omg LOL thank you for pointing that out!! You're so right about him continuing to ask with a "hopeful disposition"....love the way you worded your comment!! 😊😊💜💜
How in the world did Chandler think he'd get away with this!!!? He was definitely delusional! Props to the judge. The way he conducted his courtroom was exceptional!
Probably had been up playing games for days and wasn't thinking..it's called sleep deprivation phychosis. I really believe he went nuts due to his lies plus his online addictions.
I feel sorry for Mitch Halderson. His own brother killed their Mother and Father and chopped up their bodies. What a nightmare for him amd his family. They will be scared for life.
The security footage of Krista Halderson checking out at Kwik Trip on the afternoon of 7/1/21 is the most chilling to me. Seeing her walk out of that store… No clue that her own severed head would be in her fireplace, compliments of her own son that same evening. Absolutely disgusting.
Everyone seems to love this judge. I must agree, he is totally a class act. Judge, ........we all love you, i never wanna go before a judge, but if I do, I'd pray he is you. You are by far , the very best. Stay your awesome self. 👌
I think Judge Dorrow did an excellent job with Darrell Brooks. He was outrageously difficult. It would be interesting to see how this judge would have handled his antics.
Except when he claimed that the prosecutor "didnt mean to imply the defense was lying" (comitting a felony) in the courtroom......when the prosectuter literally said exactly that.....word for word. It should have been a mistrial, but this judge unethically finagled things. Now the prosecutor will likely do it again and get a murderer released one day. Judge should have had the honor to just let the statement be what it was, if not sanction the prosecutor outright. They could have re-tried this 1000 times and still convicted Chandler.....but that might not be the case next time.
Man.. I know all this evidence and all these hours in a court room are necessary but, literally all you need to do is watch the prosecutions opening statement to come to a guilty conclusion, as there was more than enough evidence in that alone to know Chandler is guilty. Beyond a reasonable doubt no doubt!
Prosecutor William Brown's opening statement was EVERYTHING! The best opening statement I have ever heard. I know it holds no merit as far as evidence but after listening to it. All I could think was GUILTY!
2:00:49 This DNA Analyst is straight pro. She's not trying to put testimony into her own words when lead to do so. She reads it exactly as it is on the report, repeatedly to avoid any questions or mistakes.
I liked it when he read paper towels on her list then asked her "what are these? " and she simply replied "paper towels" I thought that was funny (not that I don't find what this monster did was funny in the slightest )
Difference between this guy and chris watts is that watts didnt put the family through more trauma and have them listen to awful things he did..this guy pleads not guilty...what the heck!!!!!Mitchell has lost his mom and dad and he must go through this..very disturbing on so many levels..hope you find some peace Mitchell..RIP Bart and Krista.
Man, the chat is kind of disgusting. When people aren't prowling on the murderer's ex girlfriend, they're rating this guy and debating whether he's straight. Then there's people saying Catherine and this witness should release an Only Fans? Have we forgotten that this is a murder trial? Jesus Christ, people.
💯 it was wayyyy out of hand, disrespectful, rude, selfish, etc. I don't understand what's wrong with some people. It's not the place for this kind of behavior/comments.
What was the cause of death? "I determined that the cause of death was that the deceased individual had found out his son was not at school and didn't have a job"
Yes. Shot dad first, I presume. Maybe even before dad confronted him about all his lying, to avoid just that. Then "logically" decided to shoot mum when she came home from work.
@@bumblebaa2327 You know I wondered if he murdered his father before he was confronted. After Bart called this college and pretended to be Chaz I wondered if he realized the full extent of the lies or not. I speculated that this was not the case and that Bart wanted to give Chandler a chance to come clean on his own before they drove to that school meeting. We will only know more in this regard after we will hear Barts call. The prosecution said that after the call Bart texted to his son "I spoke to X" and pointed out that Chaz likely didn't know who X was. But I'm sure he googled X's name and there you'll find the Linkedin profile, customer service rep at Madison College. So Chaz was alarmed till then and knew regardless that he could not accompagny his dad to a school meeting or his double life would unravel. I wondered (if my theory is correct) if Bart & Krista might still be alive had he confronted his son immediately after said call. So I'm really curious to hear the tape.
@@TheMundusvultdecipi his interrogation says a lot when the detectives confront him with the truth. It looks like he’s about to faint. He probably felt the same when his father confronted him. His house of cards collapsed..
@@TheMundusvultdecipi yes me too. If only Bart had realized how sick his son is. He might have thought to not confront him but instead a-peace him. Telling him he felt honoured about all the efforts C. did all these years for them, his parents. Compliment him on his creativity and persistency. Avoid the word "lies". I'm the same age as Bart and I could not have done it. You just don't expect your son to be so different from the one you know.
@@GodsTribe indeed. You'd never expect them to be a killer though, that's so far from being human. How come he crossed that treshold? He must be insane. Or is there a bit of murderer in all of us? Only when we are extremely pushed maybe. He wasn't.
I looked up, if a dead body is heavier than a live body, but the weight is the same. So dismembering the body has nothing to do with the weight. It speaks to me of total disregard for the two victims. And burning the heads in the fireplace speaks to me of sheer hatred. And the fact that Chandler is putting his family through this, speaks of no regard for their emotional welfare.
Preface: super morbid. Anyway, They might weigh the same but the weight could be dispersed differently in parts. Picture carrying a giant trash bag of potatoes vs a big box of potatoes. One is much easier to carrier than the other despite there being no difference in weight
The weight is technically the same, but a living person will do things to “assist” with moving them, even if against their will. Think of it this way, a living person can hold on, grab, wrap their legs, bend their joints to make it easier to pick them up and move them. But a dead person just lays there. Limbs hang straight down and won’t grab on to you. The weight just hangs straight down. The saying is “dead weight is heavier than living weight” because a living person is simply easier to move in all regards.
Lawyers: This evidence against you is overwhelming, are you sure you want to plead not guilty? Chandler: Absolutely! Lawyers: Can you tell us why? Chandler: Because I want to relive what I did to my parents while people, family, friends and professionals talk about and testify about what I did of course! I'm a narcissist! Mu-haaaaa!!! Mu-haaaa! What a psyco!
I love how there's so much evidence the only thing they can say is "well none of you saw him murder his parents", has there ever in the history of mankind been a case where a member of the jury actually witnessed the murder? NO, so why in the world they thought this defense would do anything... oh yea because they're public defenders, terrible ones too.
Thank you channel 3000! I'm sure the prosecution offered a plea deal to spare the state time, and money. He wanted the trial only to see and hear how he got caught to be infamous, the way he told all the lies before all this ever happened. Reminds me of his interrogation.
I seriously doubt the prosecution offered. Plea. Chandler halderson had the option of pleading guilty to all charges or going to trial. If he pled guilty, his sentence would be life without a chance of parole. At trial there is at least a chance for a not guilty or a hung jury/mistrial. It makes no sense logically to plead guilty because the punishment is a life in prison. In this type of brutal crime and the plethora of evidence, the prosecution would never offer a plea to a lesser charge. They feel very good about their chance to get a conviction
@@hoover1412 My point. He opted to go to trial that's his right to do so. Even though the evidence was posed to him, he still thinks he's the smartest person in the room. Hense why he lied the whole time, and in court now.
@@June-tb4vi There's always a plea. It's up to the defendant weather he will except. Some want to roll the dice in hope that they can someday be released. With this case, the outcome will probably be the same.
@@June-tb4vi As Hoover touches on, if he pled guilty it's game over. With a trial he has a chance of acquittal or at least a prayer for something in the process to appeal down the road.
I agree. Seems like it’s happening a lot. Even with precious innocent children. Really makes me angry that someone is so evil to even think to do such a thing. Death sentence is just too clean, neat, and has to be carried out based on the cute constitutional rules. I say firing squad or stoning would end this madness.
No death penalty in Wisconsin. I am glad they don’t have that punishment. He needs to stay alive 💯 years, so he lives a nightmare every single day for the rest of his life.
A person devoid of concern for anyone but himself. He used everyone he was involved with. His former girlfriend paid for everything & did all the driving because he had no money & no car. Yet, he told her he had money but there were all these problems getting it into his account. Such a moocher loser!
This is bringing back memories of many many years working in superior court. I was a courtroom clerk (the one next to the judge). Listening to the pathologist gave me flashbacks of some pretty horrible pictures I saw. Most people don’t know but when there are such horrible photos there is usually a meeting in the judge’s chambers with both council, the clerk & court reporter where all the pics are viewed and it is decided by the judge which pictures will be allowed to be shown to the jury. If they are too disgusting or too gory they will not be seen by the jury or placed in evidence, however we see them all.
That's also the reason why televised trials have the most graphic evidence displayed in booklets that the cameras can't see, if it got on TV it could be copied and misused.
@@ChadDidNothingWrong It maintains the victims' privacy and dignity as much as possible. Is that "coddling" dead kids, for example, to keep as many photos private as possible?
Loving Channel 3000. I've learned a lot about Wisconsin. It's a beautiful state. I am from California. God bless everyone in this case. My 6th great great grandfather is buried in Union, Wisconsin.
I wonder if the state is going to pay for the therapy these jurors are most definitely going to need...I saw those photos on law and crimes stream and they haven't left my mind since! Horrifying!!
Right?! Its an unlikely hobby for most ppl to look at gore. If you're not used to it, it's sickening. These poor innocent people are forced to and barely getting paid to see and know this disturbing shite!
Omg me too. She uses UMMM to breathe in air or something. Sometimes she even says it on an intake and it’s barely there, but yet… there it is. It’s beyond an affectation and she should work on limiting her use of it. It’s highly annoying.
Those "UMMS" are uttered by a very intelligent woman and I applaud her! It might be annoying, but to be honest I haven't heard the "umms" you speak of. Her testimony has been very educational and helpful in understanding the evidence that the state presented to the jury. Let it be said that the Prosecution presented an IRON CLAD case that there isn't a hint of doubt that the jury needs to entertain.
Why would this kid not take the route of Chris Watts and admit what he had done and take what he gets. There’s no chance he’s not responsible for the deaths of his mom and dad.
How delusional is Chandler, or callous and narcissistic, to subject everyone - family, friends, girlfriend, co-workers, neighbors, and even himself, to this unrelenting march of damning evidence of his horrid and violent murder of people whose only wrongdoing (in his eyes) was that they were about to break his fantasy world of lies apart and would likely kick him out…at 23.
maybe as long as he not confesses he can convince himself that he's not evil but just another victim? The breaking of his fantasy world of lies is what he tried to prevent by shooting his dad. So maybe he still lives in it.
@LogicianTenderstone I'm a true crime fanatic and I've been watching since day 1 from Illinois! The prosecutor's opening statement was amazing and these defense lawyers are a joke. Who is the defense going to call anyway? And I think he said 'he didn't feel bad for what he did'. I feel so sorry for his brother 😔
@@peaceandlove7824 exactly,the main reason to keep up the charade of working was just to fuel his video game addiction.this is an extreme case of video game dependency
At this point I’m convinced they only ask questions so they can feel like they are trying but they know he’s guilty and really don’t want to fight it or drag it out. As if they seriously could care less. Can’t blame them.
@@nikinthemidwest1915 I can'y believe he had the AUDACITY to say ; " If there is any Attorney please contact me so I can appeal this decision!" No apology to his brother, his grandmother who pleaded for the Judge's mercy and the courts and spare him from life in prison with no parole, or his Uncle whose birthday will be connected to the last time he spoke with his only brother and best friend. It is said; "WHAT THE PARENTS DON'T TEACH THEIR CHILDREN, THE STREETS WILL!" May the Prisoners give Chandler Prison Justice that he rightfully deserves.
I suspect they're as aware as we are that acquittal is not likely here. Their defense, assuming they plan to mount one, may hinge on something that hasn't come up on the prosecutor's side yet.
So far they aren't disputing the huge amount of evidence against him. I'm thinking Chandler will have a story that Cat or someone else shot & killed his parents & he felt he had to protect her so he disposed of the bodies. As someone said above they'll likely also use his 'brain injury' to explain why he didn't react like a normal person would. I hope he doesn't use his ex gf to blame it on or accuse her of dismembering them.
ikr? And people keep asking why they don't object to anything. What good what it do, all this evidence is scientific and undeniable. Also, he may have told them in private counsel that he did do it.
It's almost humorous, in a dark way.. how after the medical examiner the Defense asks why they wrote atleast 3 shots.. basically putting the image of Chandler shooting him in the body parts not found as well.. When she asked that I had the image from Home Alone, "keep the change you filthy animal", then letting loose with the tommy gun. Also thought it was cute how the Defense asked if he could have shot himself.. (I noticed the D in Defense is capitalized.. not sure why, too lazy to correct.. but typing this explanation takes longer.. I just like to use my thumbs I guess).
Day 6 and its the worst defence cross examinations I've ever seen 😅 the questions they DO ASK are both pointless and irrelevant to the defendants defence 😅
random thought but imagine being that gas station store owner. you randomly get called into a MURDER trial because one of your customers was buying ice from your store for a murder. this must've spiced up conversation at work.
This trial captures the USA at its best. So much of what is reported to us overseas about the US, is just batshit crazy individualistic sentiment. The individuals involved in this trial are professional, kind, compassionate, respectful, intelligent, sensible and pandemic conscious. Who would have thought a trial about dismemberment, would put on display, all that we have always respected about the US. Credence to all involved with this devastating case.
Unfortunately, because of Trump, the ugly and cruel side of our population has come to the forefront. If he is not convicted and put in prison, the United States will be nothing but a failed experiment in the history books.
@@susiepittman601 agree. But Trump is just a symptom. He’s not the cause. For him to have even had the remote possibility of becoming president, there has to have been a very ugly suppressed sentiment bubbling up amongst a large number of the population.
Poor Bart and Krista had no mercy extended to them and stood no chance ambushed by their son who totally planned and set up hem up. A DISGUISTING calculating evil crime
What was the point of calling that last woman to the stand again? She testified about finding nothing in the pond, nothing at the dump, and nothing in the river. In other words, she presented no evidence whatsoever.
Because they were all things the jury could have asked about, and all the evidence must be presented at the trial. They can't just send out a few more questions for detectives to investigate while they're deliberating.
@@barbaramcmillan3835 "and all the evidence must be presented at the trial." As I said before, she presented no evidence whatsoever. "Because they were all things the jury could have asked about" The jury is only supposed to consider the evidence. She didn't present any evidence, therefore there was no point in calling her to the stand again. "They can't just send out a few more questions for detectives to investigate while they're deliberating." What questions? Questions about everything they _didn't_ find and where they _didn't_ find it? Those aren't legitimate questions for a jury to be asking anyway. If a hypothetical find that a jury member may be speculating about hasn't been presented as evidence from an actual find, then it goes without saying that there was no find, or at least not a find that was legally presentable as evidence. Again, a jury's job is simply to consider the presented evidence, not to question the investigators.
So he shot and dismembered them both in the basement of their house. 1 on each side of the basement it seems like. Because 1 side had his mother's blood and the other his dad's. Then brought up their heads and put them In the fireplace. 1 by 1 I'm sure.in the video from the backyard neighbor with the flickering light, you can see him moving around in the room putting the parts in the fireplace. It's fckng sick!!
To shoot from a distance in the back is criminal and coward, to cut and hold and carry their heads and watch the fire and stand the smell and the sight this man is a textbook psychopath, is just beyond criminal. A gruesome case that i unfortunately know off in Mexico city and i regret watching the photos of it comes to mind, but the killer felt so sick about what he was doing to the body that he started vomiting and finally he almost went crazy, crying and screaming while confessing in fear for his own gruesome actions... This case is on the top 3 most horrendous crimes I've known about.
I can't even type what he did like you did. What utter just black vile evil heart of poison and horror he has. I can't even think of the words. He's the worst I have ever heard off
Easily proven premeditated to me. He had to set up the basement and lure them down there, and then the surprised attack. I wonder if his dad was already dead and then when his mom got home, he called for her to come down there and shot her before she could even react. Sicko
I know everyone says there were no warning signs, no red flags that this guy was disturbed. But I think he was cold, aloof, detached, maybe he didn’t act out or show major behavior problems as a child and that helped him slip under the radar. But I think he totally lacked social bonding, emotional bonding, there was something totally and completely off with this guy. He’s missing the empathy gene. So very sad. I’m praying for Mitch, Cat and the rest of the family.
@@trentcruise3084 It takes an awful lot of effort both physically and mentally to murder dismember and incinerate (partially) two fully grown adults and dispose of the remains.far beyond this guy's capability.. Something tells me we’re looking at birds of a flock
@@stepheneurosailor1623 There's literally no proof of that. You're no better than people who make false r*pe accusations. Baseless claims like this haunt and ruin people's lives. But evil people like you don't care. You just like feeling smart and smug in your armchair detective work. You're a truly sickening individual.
He was a pathological liar. That’s a major red flag, but his parents had to find that out the hard way. I don’t believe anyone actually believes their child ( or anyone) would do actually this… but Chaz really intended to go all the way with his lies.
Confused as to why he left the target bag with his girlfriend's ID in a trash can or on the property of his mom's girlfriend's home ? Is it possible he was trying to frame her ? Am I the only one that thought this ? Overwhelming evidence. While thinking he was so smart he did some pretty stupid things to get caught. The trash, Easily found, has me boggled. He is one evil individual! 😈
I don't think he was trying to frame her. I suspect he wanted the stuff out of his car, saw the trash cans, tossed stuff in & assumed no one would notice. Perhaps he knew the trash pick up schedule, too.
I thought the same as well. In his interrogation he said something to the effect of Cat's mother not liking his parents for 'some reason'. Chandler left remains and incriminating evidence at Cat's mom's girlfriend's farm. I feel he wanted to divert attention to other people.
That’s exactly what he was doing. Just in case someone found body parts. There’s a reason he left the torso ( with the gunshots ) as well as planted the gun in the barn.
The whole thing was stupid. You kill your parents because what? You don't want to get a job? Then you look up stuff on the internet like no one was gonna check out your searches? And you go to the stores to buy stuff where you can be recorded buying the stuff that ties you to your crime? You ask to come to your girlfriends family farm and then dump body parts on it as if you wouldn't be the first suspect when those things were found? Then all the lies and inconsistencies throughout. Cruel and horrific is what he is, but also, he is an idiot. I saw someone mention Chris Watts somewhere. He was an idiot too. He dumped the bodies at his work site, as if no one was gonna tie him to it when the bodies were found. Nevermind that his chance to getaway didn't even get far enough for that detail to matter.
I really don’t join live chat because they talk a lot of nonsense and having nothing to do with the case ! Never mind respect for the two people that died!
She really needs to speak without the umms. They distracted from her testimony, which was a waste of time anyway. Thank goodness she didn't have to testify that her team searched hundreds of places.
She uses UMMM to breathe in air or something. Sometimes she even says it on an intake and it’s barely there, but yet… there it is. It’s beyond an affectation and she should work on limiting her use of it. It’s highly annoying.
Ive realized something ,with combat experience, that flipped table on its side ,makes a stable firing point ,he wasnt a trained soldier ,holding an sks ,and shooting someone isnt as easy as most think ,he could put the barrel of the rifle on the edge of the table ,squat behind that table and just lay in wait a snipers nest
I can’t figure out that table… but if it were the spot they were shot, wouldn’t there have been bloody drag marks (obviously cleaned up somewhat) from that room, leading to the basement?? 🤔 the amount of blood he attempted to clean up (as evidenced by the luminol test) leads me to believe they were killed and dismembered down there… unless I haven’t gotten to the part where they identify a spot with significant pooling elsewhere 🤔 but then the broken glass ☝🏻 I just don’t know!
53:27 well since the shots were to the back i will asume the first one was from a far and the close range shot was once the victim was laying on the floor defenseless, what they call execution way, to make sure he dies. After this I'm starting to wonder if he also shoot them in the head and that was the main reason to burn the heads... This case will be very difficult if not impossible to forget
I know!!! Ugh! So so so annoying. I can’t even focus on what she’s saying. She uses UMMM to breathe in air or something. Sometimes she even says it on an intake and it’s barely there, but yet… there it is. It’s beyond an affectation and she should work on limiting her use of it. It’s highly annoying.
lt's1thing 2murder yr parents but another 2dismemember them,such cruelty??!!You wouldn't expect this fr their own son,really horrendous!!!As part of his jail term(they should make)him work at trash dump area!!!
Ikr? He obviously grew frustrated with keeping the fire lit and burning hot enough and yet he took the Target bag of bloody paper towels to the farm to dispose of. I thought early on that he was intentionally trying to frame the occupants of the farm with the murderer and he did not want the missing person case to go cold leaving him waiting for several years to lay claim to the life insurance. He wanted them to be found and identified, while at the same time trying to make it appear that someone else killed them.
It seems to me that they’re trying to target how much investigators don’t know. Hence the questions asking why they use terms like “at least.” In the closing statements they really hammer in the term “reasonable doubt,” as well. So basically I think they’re just desperately trying to find the gaps in their knowledge and exploit them, but it’s so air tight that there’s very little for them to grasp onto.
Seems like the defendant can later claim that his "defense team" was incompetent, thereby justifying a new trial. I have not seen them do anything to defend him. They allow everything to slide by, and challenge next to nothing. It seems they are determined to do absolutely nothing except collect their pay from the state.
If he, at any time indicated to his counsel that he did kill them, that prohibits them from trying to project blame onto an outside party. I suspect he was honest with them.
Kristine Bailey really?? I've watched a ton of trials, and never realized that. How could that even be enforced without violating privilege? What I mean is, how could anyone verify if he did or did not admit to committing the crime, if they can't ask about privileged conversations between him and his attorneys?
@@kristinebailey6554 A defense attorney who knows their non-guilty-pleading client is guilty can actually go through the process without ever explicitly claiming that the client is innocent. In order to convict someone for a crime, the prosecuter must prove the clients guilt beyond reasonable doubt. I can argue every piece of evidence that is presented without blaming another party. His attorney's are not trying which is wrong.
@@lizgander9172 Typically defense attorney's will challenge the states evidence. They will challenge witnesses expertise, they will challenge how the evidence was collected. I realize they don't really have much to work with, but you can still challenge witness testimony, challenge their experience in their field. I would challenge the farm owners on who works on the farm, have they ever had individuals who were trespassing. I would love to understand what Chandler expectations are on taking this to trial. Part of me believes he's proud of what he did and he actually wants people to know that he is a ruthless killer and expects to be found guilty.
did he really think he was going to get away with it? what a loser. Too bad Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty. I would have even volunteered to flip the switch.
Somehow the defenses questions aren't helping Chad. To emphasize quantity of wounds and homicide with mutilation in no one refects innocence of her client or less cruelty. Horrific crime. No evidence supports participation of others or other victims as far as that goes.
for real. it makes no sense for the defense to question the order of the gunshots unless the defense was based around them happening in a specific order. and questioning why it said "at least 3" just drew attention back to the dismemberment and how it could've been even worse than we know. and the question about whether the dismemberment happened while Bart was alive or not? first of all, the prosecutor already asked that and got the answer, and second of all, how is that supposed to help the defense unless the defense's argument is, "yes, he shot his father at least 3 times, but at least he waited until he was dead to chop him up"?
It seems to me that they’re trying to exploit the gaps in what they know. They questioned why they used the term “at least” in terms of gunshot wounds because they’re trying to show that there isn’t a certainty in terms of what happened. It’s a very weak angle, but it’s all they’ve got haha

The title of this video says Part 2, and there's no opening slides, so where's part 1? Unless it is just Day 6? EDIT: I think I found it, the first part just says Day 6, with no Part 1 in the title. So many technical errors in this coverage.
Did Chaz watch The Jinx by any chance??? I am seriously getting Robert Durst vibes. I can believe he thought leaving pieces of his parents around the state would be smart, let alone the fact he chopped them up to begin with 🙁
I don't want to be mean so I should probably keep my mouth shut, but the DNA analyst does NOT seem like this is her 48th time testifying. Compared to the rest of the incredibly professional experts and law enforcement officers, she's stumbling, bumbling, and not very interesting. Not a big deal but just sticks out in comparison.
I had to FF through the testimony of Detective Sabrina Sims because she literally said “Umm” after every other word! I have NEVER heard someone fill in “Umm” so much! It’s SO BEYOND IRRITATING!! 😠 She did it so much it seemed like the woman prosecutor started saying it as well!! 😤😤 Start listening @ 2:37:45 to understand what I’m talking about….UGH!!
Can't say my nerves wouldn't cause me to say habitual things like that if I were a witness on the stand on a televised court proceeding. Even as a professional, but everyone is comfortable speaking in front of an audience. I mean, did you see the testimony from the daughter of the victims best friend? She was SUPER nervous! Felt for her.

It's very easy to not get your own DNA on a tarp and his DNA would of course be all over his house anyway. They haven't brought up trace evidence yet, so some of that may be coming.
Why did this low-life clown allow all this going on this way why did he even bother even having a trial he was all this money stack up and being wasted knowing he did it
He is incompetent and should have never been put on trial. He is emotionally stunted at a toddlers level. He had no comprehension about the finality of death. He's an adult only in chronological terms.
@@nkogneetow9898 - where I live, in crazy California, gunshots are an almost daily occurrence, even moreso on 7/4. Poor dogs here go crazy. I wonder about their dogs. Such horrifying crimes. 😒😣😪
Idk if there's any proof of the mother being shot, as her torso was never found, whereas Bart's torso had 2-3 gunshot wounds, but it's likely he would have shot both, and the bullets support that. I thought 5pm was a little early for fireworks, but if they were shot in the basement, that may have deadened the sound..
It was three days before Independence Day. People shooting off fireworks at all times of the day. If you’re going to get away with gunshots, it’s during those first few days of July haha
Chandler may say that ma shot Pa and ma shot herself? Or that he is diminished responsibility due to his wink wink head injury when he fell down there wink wink stairs…
Is it the judge that’s breathing way too hard into the mic? Someone is whistling thru their nose in some videos, and breathing way too hard in others. This person needs to turn off the mic
Chandler wore a mask when purchasing the ice, but didn't wear one when purchasing the tarp. In fact, if you look at the video, no one in the store was wearing a mask. I call BS on this nonsense.
Kristine Bailey- Some MDs are also practicing Scientologists, this doesn't make Xenu real. Cloth masks aren't ideal but they are CERTAINLY better than nothing and there's plenty of easily accessible evidence to support this. Especially in an issue that has stupidly become so political, it's important to determine the opinion of the scientific community as a whole.
I have to say more Judges need to watch this Judge. Makes everyone feel calm plus he is very kind.
I agree- he really takes the time to make the witnesses and juries comfortable. This court case has been so enjoyable for me to watch because of the professionalism of the judge, attorneys, scientists, detectives etc. It's masterclass of how our system SHOULD enact justice.
So agree ... they are blessed to have a judge like him in their state....
After they give their testimony, this Judge always wishes them "a good rest of the day"
@@peggypeggy4137 🥰 I have never heard any other judge say that, or anything resembling that.
He’s such a gentlemen. You could tell he cares about the law when he gave his speech to Chandler during sentencing. Super respectful to the jury, I’d feel honored had I been on that jury and shown the respect he gave them
I really like this judge, so calm and polite to everyone.
and dignifed.
Yep 1000x better than when a court room is full of yelling drama.. Like jodi arias case
I wonder if he is a Christian. Poor Judge after listening to the detective he is now saying um lol
@@zenamen5221 & regal. His voice is calming
This also isn't a contentious case at all since one side is so clearly beyond a shadow of a doubt guilty so when both parties know he's guilty it becomes more civil.
The level of evidence is so high, I cannot believe that he pleads not guilty and makes family and friends testify. I believe this should lead to a longer sentence. What a wicked individual
So right! He is adding insult to injury by not pleading guilty.
He wants the attention-he wants everyone to know what he was capable of 🤢🤢🤮
After watching the entire interrogation, Chandler had absolutely *NO emotion* totally indicative of a psychopath.
Each day out of prison is a win for him, for he knows once he enters his ' corrections centre '', he'll never be free from the confines of its walls.
I agree, but after all his lies, he probably thinks he can still get away with it. So sad for his brother.
I came across this channel while researching the case and I'm so impressed. This channel deserves way more recognition in the field of broadcast journalism!
I can't help but think if Chandler was truly innocent, sitting there listening to what happened to his parents would be heartbreaking and emotional for him. The fact that he sits there void of any emotion or expression while listening to these horrible details tells me that his heart is completely cold and he doesn't care. The evidence against him is staggering.
He should have stood up and yelled out.... I am 100% guilty. And stopped all of this.
yes. Even if he only did the tampering with the corpses, which is very proven he did, he would have reacted. He is weird. And quilty.
Plus the mountain of evidence
He's putting effort into not showing facial expression. He's numb from nightmares most likely. The reality will hit him a couple of times in prison I bet. He cares. He just knows he fckd his life up. His brother's too.
@@poodee9395 I always wondered what would happen if someone yelled that out during their trial? Do they finish the trial or no?

He lost his entire family. God bless Mitch for a bright, happy & healthy future.
I don't know how he is putting one foot in front of the other.
Ironic that the dive team, which chazzledazzle claimed to be a part of, was called in to help recover possible remains of his parents.
That’s wild
His murdered father paid for the ice and tarp...this turns my stomach!!
He even used his dad’s voucher to buy coffee
@@ritayammouni2803 it was for a free coffee. For example buy 5 coffees get 1 free. He used his fathers free coffee 😢
People don't understand getting away with murder is alot harder than 20-30 yrs ago. Technology is everywhere.
Especially when you’re as stupid as Chandler Halderson.
Thank you for sharing this trial with us.
The security footage of Krista Halderson checking out at Kwik Trip on the afternoon of 7/1/21 is the most chilling to me. Seeing her walk out of that store… No clue that her own severed head would be in her fireplace, compliments of her own son that same evening. Absolutely disgusting.
That's not on this video
Everyone seems to love this judge. I must agree, he is totally a class act. Judge, ........we all love you, i never wanna go before a judge, but if I do, I'd pray he is you. You are by far , the very best. Stay your awesome self. 👌
I think Judge Dorrow did an excellent job with Darrell Brooks. He was outrageously difficult. It would be interesting to see how this judge would have handled his antics.
Except when he claimed that the prosecutor "didnt mean to imply the defense was lying" (comitting a felony) in the courtroom......when the prosectuter literally said exactly that.....word for word.
It should have been a mistrial, but this judge unethically finagled things. Now the prosecutor will likely do it again and get a murderer released one day. Judge should have had the honor to just let the statement be what it was, if not sanction the prosecutor outright. They could have re-tried this 1000 times and still convicted Chandler.....but that might not be the case next time.
Man.. I know all this evidence and all these hours in a court room are necessary but, literally all you need to do is watch the prosecutions opening statement to come to a guilty conclusion, as there was more than enough evidence in that alone to know Chandler is guilty. Beyond a reasonable doubt no doubt!
The prosecutor's opening statement is not evidence. It is not that simple in the law. So they have to call the witnesses to put in the evidence.
Right!!! I watch trials daily and I have never been more convinced of someone's guilt...
@@justbrandy8520 what's a good channel to watch trials like this?
@LubeThatChair law and crime network, court tv's website has trials on demand and they also play live trials on their website, scales of justice
Prosecutor William Brown's opening statement was EVERYTHING! The best opening statement I have ever heard. I know it holds no merit as far as evidence but after listening to it. All I could think was GUILTY!
2:00:49 This DNA Analyst is straight pro. She's not trying to put testimony into her own words when lead to do so. She reads it exactly as it is on the report, repeatedly to avoid any questions or mistakes.
I liked it when he read paper towels on her list then asked her "what are these? " and she simply replied "paper towels"
I thought that was funny (not that I don't find what this monster did was funny in the slightest )
Difference between this guy and chris watts is that watts didnt put the family through more trauma and have them listen to awful things he did..this guy pleads not guilty...what the heck!!!!!Mitchell has lost his mom and dad and he must go through this..very disturbing on so many levels..hope you find some peace Mitchell..RIP Bart and Krista.
Can you shrink the footer banner - it gets in the way of the evidence.
Wow. ✔ done
Man, the chat is kind of disgusting. When people aren't prowling on the murderer's ex girlfriend, they're rating this guy and debating whether he's straight. Then there's people saying Catherine and this witness should release an Only Fans? Have we forgotten that this is a murder trial? Jesus Christ, people.
💯 it was wayyyy out of hand, disrespectful, rude, selfish, etc. I don't understand what's wrong with some people. It's not the place for this kind of behavior/comments.
Yup, shameful
What was the cause of death?
"I determined that the cause of death was that the deceased individual had found out his son was not at school and didn't have a job"
What a coward! He shot them in the back so they couldn’t defend themselves.
Yes. Shot dad first, I presume. Maybe even before dad confronted him about all his lying, to avoid just that. Then "logically" decided to shoot mum when she came home from work.
@@bumblebaa2327 You know I wondered if he murdered his father before he was confronted. After Bart called this college and pretended to be Chaz I wondered if he realized the full extent of the lies or not. I speculated that this was not the case and that Bart wanted to give Chandler a chance to come clean on his own before they drove to that school meeting. We will only know more in this regard after we will hear Barts call. The prosecution said that after the call Bart texted to his son "I spoke to X" and pointed out that Chaz likely didn't know who X was. But I'm sure he googled X's name and there you'll find the Linkedin profile, customer service rep at Madison College. So Chaz was alarmed till then and knew regardless that he could not accompagny his dad to a school meeting or his double life would unravel. I wondered (if my theory is correct) if Bart & Krista might still be alive had he confronted his son immediately after said call. So I'm really curious to hear the tape.
@@TheMundusvultdecipi his interrogation says a lot when the detectives confront him with the truth. It looks like he’s about to faint. He probably felt the same when his father confronted him. His house of cards collapsed..
@@TheMundusvultdecipi yes me too. If only Bart had realized how sick his son is. He might have thought to not confront him but instead a-peace him. Telling him he felt honoured about all the efforts C. did all these years for them, his parents. Compliment him on his creativity and persistency. Avoid the word "lies". I'm the same age as Bart and I could not have done it. You just don't expect your son to be so different from the one you know.
@@GodsTribe indeed. You'd never expect them to be a killer though, that's so far from being human. How come he crossed that treshold? He must be insane. Or is there a bit of murderer in all of us? Only when we are extremely pushed maybe. He wasn't.
Alls I could picture was Samuel L Jackson saying “say UMMMM again!” “UMMMM Ain’t no country I have heard of!” 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
I looked up, if a dead body is heavier than a live body, but the weight is the same. So dismembering the body has nothing to do with the weight. It speaks to me of total disregard for the two victims. And burning the heads in the fireplace speaks to me of sheer hatred. And the fact that Chandler is putting his family through this, speaks of no regard for their emotional welfare.
That is true about the weight I wondered the same thing why do ppl say dead weight is heavier🤔🤔🤔 and what he did to his parents is pure evil
Preface: super morbid. Anyway, They might weigh the same but the weight could be dispersed differently in parts. Picture carrying a giant trash bag of potatoes vs a big box of potatoes. One is much easier to carrier than the other despite there being no difference in weight
The weight is technically the same, but a living person will do things to “assist” with moving them, even if against their will. Think of it this way, a living person can hold on, grab, wrap their legs, bend their joints to make it easier to pick them up and move them. But a dead person just lays there. Limbs hang straight down and won’t grab on to you. The weight just hangs straight down. The saying is “dead weight is heavier than living weight” because a living person is simply easier to move in all regards.
Maybe carrying and dispersing of the body parts separately, is easier to move
the soul weighs 21 grams and the body loses 21 grams when it dies. they did a movie on it
Lawyers: This evidence against you is overwhelming, are you sure you want to plead not guilty?
Chandler: Absolutely!
Lawyers: Can you tell us why?
Chandler: Because I want to relive what I did to my parents while people, family, friends and professionals talk about and testify about what I did of course! I'm a narcissist! Mu-haaaaa!!! Mu-haaaa! What a psyco!
Will Chaz and Chris Watts be sharing a cell soon?? They can talk over where they messed up.
I love how there's so much evidence the only thing they can say is "well none of you saw him murder his parents", has there ever in the history of mankind been a case where a member of the jury actually witnessed the murder? NO, so why in the world they thought this defense would do anything... oh yea because they're public defenders, terrible ones too.
Thank you channel 3000!
I'm sure the prosecution offered a plea deal to spare the state time, and money. He wanted the trial only to see and hear how he got caught to be infamous, the way he told all the lies before all this ever happened. Reminds me of his interrogation.
I seriously doubt the prosecution offered. Plea. Chandler halderson had the option of pleading guilty to all charges or going to trial. If he pled guilty, his sentence would be life without a chance of parole. At trial there is at least a chance for a not guilty or a hung jury/mistrial. It makes no sense logically to plead guilty because the punishment is a life in prison. In this type of brutal crime and the plethora of evidence, the prosecution would never offer a plea to a lesser charge. They feel very good about their chance to get a conviction
@@hoover1412 My point. He opted to go to trial that's his right to do so. Even though the evidence was posed to him, he still thinks he's the smartest person in the room. Hense why he lied the whole time, and in court now.
Was he offered a plea deal? I never heard anything about it if so
@@June-tb4vi There's always a plea. It's up to the defendant weather he will except. Some want to roll the dice in hope that they can someday be released. With this case, the outcome will probably be the same.
@@June-tb4vi As Hoover touches on, if he pled guilty it's game over. With a trial he has a chance of acquittal or at least a prayer for something in the process to appeal down the road.
This is disgusting evidence. How could anyone do that to a body?
And not to mention, doing it to your parents...
@@anovemberstar Absolutely
Even worse, to his parents!
I agree. Seems like it’s happening a lot. Even with precious innocent children. Really makes me angry that someone is so evil to even think to do such a thing. Death sentence is just too clean, neat, and has to be carried out based on the cute constitutional rules. I say firing squad or stoning would end this madness.
No death penalty in Wisconsin. I am glad they don’t have that punishment. He needs to stay alive 💯 years, so he lives a nightmare every single day for the rest of his life.
Like how can someone walk around and look at other people and talk them knowing they killed someone let alone their own parents and brutally at that
A person devoid of concern for anyone but himself. He used everyone he was involved with. His former girlfriend paid for everything & did all the driving because he had no money & no car. Yet, he told her he had money but there were all these problems getting it into his account. Such a moocher loser!
The judge is very nice polite but no one says thank you back
They probably do but they are not close enough to the microphone to pick up the sound
@Jacquelyn Whiting I would say thank you back, to you..
Actually, quite a few did but probably unheard due to standing up to leave.
What difference does it make?
This is bringing back memories of many many years working in superior court. I was a courtroom clerk (the one next to the judge). Listening to the pathologist gave me flashbacks of some pretty horrible pictures I saw. Most people don’t know but when there are such horrible photos there is usually a meeting in the judge’s chambers with both council, the clerk & court reporter where all the pics are viewed and it is decided by the judge which pictures will be allowed to be shown to the jury. If they are too disgusting or too gory they will not be seen by the jury or placed in evidence, however we see them all.
oh wow interesting thankyou,, I WOULD LIKE TO sEE WHAT THE JURY DOES THOUGH, aswell,
That's also the reason why televised trials have the most graphic evidence displayed in booklets that the cameras can't see, if it got on TV it could be copied and misused.

I fast forwarded the last female detective 3 times and landed on “UMM” every time. Those umms r driving me crazy
Omg me too. She uses UMMM to breathe in air or something. Sometimes she even says it on an intake and it’s barely there, but yet… there it is. It’s beyond an affectation and she should work on limiting her use of it. It’s highly annoying.
SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!! Literally so unprofessional too
Great! Can't wait...lol. Thanks for the heads up.
Each ummm sounds exactly the same too, smh
Those "UMMS" are uttered by a very intelligent woman and I applaud her! It might be annoying, but to be honest I haven't heard the "umms" you speak of.
Her testimony has been very educational and helpful in understanding the evidence that the state presented to the jury.
Let it be said that the Prosecution presented an IRON CLAD case that there isn't a hint of doubt that the jury needs to entertain.
Why would this kid not take the route of Chris Watts and admit what he had done and take what he gets. There’s no chance he’s not responsible for the deaths of his mom and dad.
How delusional is Chandler, or callous and narcissistic, to subject everyone - family, friends, girlfriend, co-workers, neighbors, and even himself, to this unrelenting march of damning evidence of his horrid and violent murder of people whose only wrongdoing (in his eyes) was that they were about to break his fantasy world of lies apart and would likely kick him out…at 23.
Co-workers? He didn’t have any, his co-workers were the characters of the video games 😂
This is the first time in his life, everything revolves around him. All the attention is on what he has done.. he probably thinks he is famous now.
maybe as long as he not confesses he can convince himself that he's not evil but just another victim? The breaking of his fantasy world of lies is what he tried to prevent by shooting his dad. So maybe he still lives in it.
@LogicianTenderstone I'm a true crime fanatic and I've been watching since day 1 from Illinois!

At this point I’m convinced they only ask questions so they can feel like they are trying but they know he’s guilty and really don’t want to fight it or drag it out. As if they seriously could care less. Can’t blame them.

@@marcyeaglecloud7345Well said. Thank you.
Chandler's defense attorneys should try stand up comedy because quite honestly I can't see the difference here.
The female defense lawyer does a sing song “ no thanks” when they ask her if she has any questions….like she has something up her sleeve….she doesn’t.
I suspect they're as aware as we are that acquittal is not likely here. Their defense, assuming they plan to mount one, may hinge on something that hasn't come up on the prosecutor's side yet.
🤣
@@fieryweasel
I’m suspecting they may claim he suffered a brain injury which caused him to act violently? 🙄
So far they aren't disputing the huge amount of evidence against him. I'm thinking Chandler will have a story that Cat or someone else shot & killed his parents & he felt he had to protect her so he disposed of the bodies.
As someone said above they'll likely also use his 'brain injury' to explain why he didn't react like a normal person would.
I hope he doesn't use his ex gf to blame it on or accuse her of dismembering them.

Defense has nothing...
ikr? And people keep asking why they don't object to anything. What good what it do, all this evidence is scientific and undeniable. Also, he may have told them in private counsel that he did do it.
It's almost humorous, in a dark way.. how after the medical examiner the Defense asks why they wrote atleast 3 shots.. basically putting the image of Chandler shooting him in the body parts not found as well.. When she asked that I had the image from Home Alone, "keep the change you filthy animal", then letting loose with the tommy gun.
Also thought it was cute how the Defense asked if he could have shot himself.. (I noticed the D in Defense is capitalized.. not sure why, too lazy to correct.. but typing this explanation takes longer.. I just like to use my thumbs I guess).

The guy that works at fleet farm is a solid citizen
What was the point of calling that last woman to the stand again? She testified about finding nothing in the pond, nothing at the dump, and nothing in the river. In other words, she presented no evidence whatsoever.
Because they were all things the jury could have asked about, and all the evidence must be presented at the trial. They can't just send out a few more questions for detectives to investigate while they're deliberating.
@@barbaramcmillan3835 "and all the evidence must be presented at the trial."
As I said before, she presented no evidence whatsoever.
"Because they were all things the jury could have asked about"
The jury is only supposed to consider the evidence. She didn't present any evidence, therefore there was no point in calling her to the stand again.
"They can't just send out a few more questions for detectives to investigate while they're deliberating."
What questions? Questions about everything they _didn't_ find and where they _didn't_ find it? Those aren't legitimate questions for a jury to be asking anyway. If a hypothetical find that a jury member may be speculating about hasn't been presented as evidence from an actual find, then it goes without saying that there was no find, or at least not a find that was legally presentable as evidence. Again, a jury's job is simply to consider the presented evidence, not to question the investigators.

So he shot and dismembered them both in the basement of their house. 1 on each side of the basement it seems like. Because 1 side had his mother's blood and the other his dad's. Then brought up their heads and put them In the fireplace. 1 by 1 I'm sure.in the video from the backyard neighbor with the flickering light, you can see him moving around in the room putting the parts in the fireplace. It's fckng sick!!
yes you can see him moving
Ooo, I missed that. What a disgusting nightmare of a human
To shoot from a distance in the back is criminal and coward, to cut and hold and carry their heads and watch the fire and stand the smell and the sight this man is a textbook psychopath, is just beyond criminal.
A gruesome case that i unfortunately know off in Mexico city and i regret watching the photos of it comes to mind, but the killer felt so sick about what he was doing to the body that he started vomiting and finally he almost went crazy, crying and screaming while confessing in fear for his own gruesome actions...
This case is on the top 3 most horrendous crimes I've known about.
I can't even type what he did like you did. What utter just black vile evil heart of poison and horror he has. I can't even think of the words. He's the worst I have ever heard off
Easily proven premeditated to me. He had to set up the basement and lure them down there, and then the surprised attack. I wonder if his dad was already dead and then when his mom got home, he called for her to come down there and shot her before she could even react. Sicko
what can we learn from this. if you bury a body, leave your phone at home and do it at night, dont just throw it in your topless grammas garden
instructions unclear, put mama's phone in mama's shoes, still got caught.
I know everyone says there were no warning signs, no red flags that this guy was disturbed. But I think he was cold, aloof, detached, maybe he didn’t act out or show major behavior problems as a child and that helped him slip under the radar.

He was a pathological liar. That’s a major red flag, but his parents had to find that out the hard way. I don’t believe anyone actually believes their child ( or anyone) would do actually this… but Chaz really intended to go all the way with his lies.
Confused as to why he left the target bag with his girlfriend's ID in a trash can or on the property of his mom's girlfriend's home ? Is it possible he was trying to frame her ? Am I the only one that thought this ? Overwhelming evidence. While thinking he was so smart he did some pretty stupid things to get caught. The trash, Easily found, has me boggled. He is one evil individual! 😈
I don't think he was trying to frame her. I suspect he wanted the stuff out of his car, saw the trash cans, tossed stuff in & assumed no one would notice. Perhaps he knew the trash pick up schedule, too.
I thought the same as well. In his interrogation he said something to the effect of Cat's mother not liking his parents for 'some reason'. Chandler left remains and incriminating evidence at Cat's mom's girlfriend's farm. I feel he wanted to divert attention to other people.
That’s exactly what he was doing. Just in case someone found body parts. There’s a reason he left the torso ( with the gunshots ) as well as planted the gun in the barn.
The whole thing was stupid. You kill your parents because what? You don't want to get a job? Then you look up stuff on the internet like no one was gonna check out your searches? And you go to the stores to buy stuff where you can be recorded buying the stuff that ties you to your crime? You ask to come to your girlfriends family farm and then dump body parts on it as if you wouldn't be the first suspect when those things were found? Then all the lies and inconsistencies throughout. Cruel and horrific is what he is, but also, he is an idiot.
I saw someone mention Chris Watts somewhere. He was an idiot too. He dumped the bodies at his work site, as if no one was gonna tie him to it when the bodies were found. Nevermind that his chance to getaway didn't even get far enough for that detail to matter.
It's obvious he was being set up, no one's that stupid even Chandler aka the jockstrap cowboy,
I really don’t join live chat because they talk a lot of nonsense and having nothing to do with the case ! Never mind respect for the two people that died!
Did they find the rest of his mom? So sad 😥
they think she's in the landfill. It was trashday on Friday and he put out a bin. :(
@@bumblebaa2327 🥺
They say umm, a lot for educated people. If a so-called criminal said ummm, that many times they would accuse them of being guilty🤐
The voice and cadence of the older defense lawyer is so annoying, almost insufferable. 😬🙄
Can this judge please be our leader? Thanks, The World.
We only need jesus
The UHM lady was hard to listen to as well
Ummm ummm ummmm ummmm arrrrgh lol
Counted over 20 ums in just one sentence! Infuriating
@@lisawhitehouse4628 I counted all 225 of them lol
She really needs to speak without the umms. They distracted from her testimony, which was a waste of time anyway. Thank goodness she didn't have to testify that her team searched hundreds of places.
searching a landfill must suck, especially if there already medical waste
The last detective, although knowledgeable, really needs to not say “umm” so often 😬 um um um
She uses UMMM to breathe in air or something. Sometimes she even says it on an intake and it’s barely there, but yet… there it is. It’s beyond an affectation and she should work on limiting her use of it. It’s highly annoying.
Very annoying !! Really needs to check on her “umms”
I cannot wait to see and hear how the defence is going to try and get him out of this.
The lies he concocted remind me of the Casey Anthony case. One weird lie after another. Who can remember all this information. Bizarre
This
Ive realized something ,with combat experience, that flipped table on its side ,makes a stable firing point ,he wasnt a trained soldier ,holding an sks ,and shooting someone isnt as easy as most think ,he could put the barrel of the rifle on the edge of the table ,squat behind that table and just lay in wait a snipers nest
That's exactly what I thought. He called his dad downstairs then shot him and he was hiding behind something. Then he did the same to mom.
I can’t figure out that table… but if it were the spot they were shot, wouldn’t there have been bloody drag marks (obviously cleaned up somewhat) from that room, leading to the basement?? 🤔 the amount of blood he attempted to clean up (as evidenced by the luminol test) leads me to believe they were killed and dismembered down there… unless I haven’t gotten to the part where they identify a spot with significant pooling elsewhere 🤔 but then the broken glass ☝🏻 I just don’t know!
Oh my God deep breathing is killing me
This is what happens when a person is never taught to accept mistakes, mature, or give apologies. They grow up as monsters.
Why she breathing so hard?!?!?
She's ridiculously nervous. I don't get it. She has to testify all the time!
It's actually due to wearing a mask...
Well, presumably, his parents raised him.
Can you make time stamps or a list of who testifies ?
Weirdly enough i feel like the video of him purchasing the tarp is the most damning piece of evidence here, and that's really saying something
53:27 well since the shots were to the back i will asume the first one was from a far and the close range shot was once the victim was laying on the floor defenseless, what they call execution way, to make sure he dies.
After this I'm starting to wonder if he also shoot them in the head and that was the main reason to burn the heads...
This case will be very difficult if not impossible to forget
I speculate he shot them in the head as well too.
They would have found the bullets in the ash trap or fireplace. They wouldn’t melt so easily.
@@HK-kz1wu Great point! Ty!!
This, Chris Watts and Jodi Arias. Some incredible brutality that makes you question everything
@@naysay02 Young too.
I don't know why but hearing the lady talk about all the bs they had to do the pond behind his house just makes me so mad.
Omg this detective “um, ummm, um, um, uuum, um, uuuummm, uuuumm, um, ummm”
I know!!! Ugh! So so so annoying. I can’t even focus on what she’s saying. She uses UMMM to breathe in air or something. Sometimes she even says it on an intake and it’s barely there, but yet… there it is. It’s beyond an affectation and she should work on limiting her use of it. It’s highly annoying.
lt's1thing 2murder yr parents but another 2dismemember them,such cruelty??!!You wouldn't expect this fr their own son,really horrendous!!!As part of his jail term(they should make)him work at trash dump area!!!
As much burning as Chaz appeared to do, why hold on to cell phones and drivers licenses?
Ikr? He obviously grew frustrated with keeping the fire lit and burning hot enough and yet he took the Target bag of bloody paper towels to the farm to dispose of. I thought early on that he was intentionally trying to frame the occupants of the farm with the murderer and he did not want the missing person case to go cold leaving him waiting for several years to lay claim to the life insurance. He wanted them to be found and identified, while at the same time trying to make it appear that someone else killed them.
And, tucking them sloppily into his mother's cheery garden shoes. Creepy
I believe he sent a text from one of the phones after the murders, but the DLs? That idk
I think also may have planned on using them later . To show they were alive somewhere else.
@@tourdedogue4952 where!? When?
Can someone explain to me what in the hell is the defense strategy!?!?!?
It seems to me that they’re trying to target how much investigators don’t know. Hence the questions asking why they use terms like “at least.” In the closing statements they really hammer in the term “reasonable doubt,” as well. So basically I think they’re just desperately trying to find the gaps in their knowledge and exploit them, but it’s so air tight that there’s very little for them to grasp onto.
Seems like the defendant can later claim that his "defense team" was incompetent, thereby justifying a new trial. I have not seen them do anything to defend him. They allow everything to slide by, and challenge next to nothing. It seems they are determined to do absolutely nothing except collect their pay from the state.
If he, at any time indicated to his counsel that he did kill them, that prohibits them from trying to project blame onto an outside party. I suspect he was honest with them.
Kristine Bailey really?? I've watched a ton of trials, and never realized that. How could that even be enforced without violating privilege? What I mean is, how could anyone verify if he did or did not admit to committing the crime, if they can't ask about privileged conversations between him and his attorneys?
They haven't even had their turn yet! Give them a chance at least. Not that there's much they can say...
@@kristinebailey6554 A defense attorney who knows their non-guilty-pleading client is guilty can actually go through the process without ever explicitly claiming that the client is innocent. In order to convict someone for a crime, the prosecuter must prove the clients guilt beyond reasonable doubt. I can argue every piece of evidence that is presented without blaming another party. His attorney's are not trying which is wrong.
@@lizgander9172 Typically defense attorney's will challenge the states evidence. They will challenge witnesses expertise, they will challenge how the evidence was collected. I realize they don't really have much to work with, but you can still challenge witness testimony, challenge their experience in their field. I would challenge the farm owners on who works on the farm, have they ever had individuals who were trespassing. I would love to understand what Chandler expectations are on taking this to trial. Part of me believes he's proud of what he did and he actually wants people to know that he is a ruthless killer and expects to be found guilty.
did he really think he was going to get away with it? what a loser. Too bad Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty. I would have even volunteered to flip the switch.
Cat did
Somehow the defenses questions aren't helping Chad. To emphasize quantity of wounds and homicide with mutilation in no one refects innocence of her client or less cruelty. Horrific crime. No evidence supports participation of others or other victims as far as that goes.
for real. it makes no sense for the defense to question the order of the gunshots unless the defense was based around them happening in a specific order. and questioning why it said "at least 3" just drew attention back to the dismemberment and how it could've been even worse than we know. and the question about whether the dismemberment happened while Bart was alive or not? first of all, the prosecutor already asked that and got the answer, and second of all, how is that supposed to help the defense unless the defense's argument is, "yes, he shot his father at least 3 times, but at least he waited until he was dead to chop him up"?
@@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell absolutely my points.
It seems to me that they’re trying to exploit the gaps in what they know. They questioned why they used the term “at least” in terms of gunshot wounds because they’re trying to show that there isn’t a certainty in terms of what happened. It’s a very weak angle, but it’s all they’ve got haha
I can say that I appreciate that the defense console does not interrupt the prosecution in this case.
Who's breathing like that omg
lmaaoooo
How many “ um s “ can one detective say ?
She uses UMMM to breathe in air or something. Sometimes she even says it on an intake and it’s barely there, but yet… there it is. It’s beyond an affectation and she should work on limiting her use of it. It’s highly annoying.
Excruciating!!!
The title of this video says Part 2, and there's no opening slides, so where's part 1? Unless it is just Day 6? EDIT: I think I found it, the first part just says Day 6, with no Part 1 in the title. So many technical errors in this coverage.
Defense attorneys in LA LA LAND 😬
Did Chaz watch The Jinx by any chance???
I am seriously getting Robert Durst vibes.
I can believe he thought leaving pieces of his parents around the state would be smart, let alone the fact he chopped them up to begin with 🙁
You can tell she is extremely nervous some people do strange things when they are super nervous
I don't want to be mean so I should probably keep my mouth shut, but the DNA analyst does NOT seem like this is her 48th time testifying. Compared to the rest of the incredibly professional experts and law enforcement officers, she's stumbling, bumbling, and not very interesting. Not a big deal but just sticks out in comparison.
Now all the lawyers will have to get tested they may finish by zoom
I had to FF through the testimony of Detective Sabrina Sims because she literally said “Umm” after every other word! I have NEVER heard someone fill in “Umm” so much! It’s SO BEYOND IRRITATING!! 😠 She did it so much it seemed like the woman prosecutor started saying it as well!! 😤😤
Start listening @ 2:37:45 to understand what I’m talking about….UGH!!
Can't say my nerves wouldn't cause me to say habitual things like that if I were a witness on the stand on a televised court proceeding. Even as a professional, but everyone is comfortable speaking in front of an audience. I mean, did you see the testimony from the daughter of the victims best friend? She was SUPER nervous! Felt for her.
She laughs WAY TOO MUCH..
PROSECUTOR TOO...
Omg me too. She uses UMMM to breathe in air or something. Sometimes she even says it on an intake and it’s barely there, but yet… there it is. It’s beyond an affectation and she should work on limiting her use of it. It’s highly annoying.
And she smiles and Giggles too much in the green dark brown hair I don't like her and yes you're right
I just can’t with the Ums. I never say it so when I hear it this much it’s unnerving. Speaking skills are important
I really like this judge.Can the defence throw in the towel?this case is cut and dried
Where the hell is his DNA he must have worn a full body suit and numerous gloves.
They were just testing the blood stains for dna in this report. No doubt we will see further dna evidence on things he touched, later on
It's very easy to not get your own DNA on a tarp and his DNA would of course be all over his house anyway. They haven't brought up trace evidence yet, so some of that may be coming.
@@fieryweasel the tarp has his footprint, and some other evidence that I can’t remember now.
I agree.
@@fieryweasel true!
The one defense attorney with the long white hair sounds like Jan Brady from the 95’ Brady Bunch movie
Why did this low-life clown allow all this going on this way why did he even bother even having a trial he was all this money stack up and being wasted knowing he did it
He is incompetent and should have never been put on trial. He is emotionally stunted at a toddlers level. He had no comprehension about the finality of death. He's an adult only in chronological terms.
I am surprised that none of the neighbors heard the gun shots ??? he shot both of them correct ??
Multiple times, supposedly. I agree it is strange no one heard it.
It may have been at a time when some people weren't home and early fireworks and firecrackers would seem normal on that day.
@@nkogneetow9898 - where I live, in crazy California, gunshots are an almost daily occurrence, even moreso on 7/4. Poor dogs here go crazy. I wonder about their dogs. Such horrifying crimes. 😒😣😪
Idk if there's any proof of the mother being shot, as her torso was never found, whereas Bart's torso had 2-3 gunshot wounds, but it's likely he would have shot both, and the bullets support that.
I thought 5pm was a little early for fireworks, but if they were shot in the basement, that may have deadened the sound..
It was three days before Independence Day. People shooting off fireworks at all times of the day. If you’re going to get away with gunshots, it’s during those first few days of July haha
Chandler may say that ma shot Pa and ma shot herself? Or that he is diminished responsibility due to his wink wink head injury when he fell down there wink wink stairs…
He won’t say anything, crissy.
Is it the judge that’s breathing way too hard into the mic? Someone is whistling thru their nose in some videos, and breathing way too hard in others. This person needs to turn off the mic
I wonder if they will ever find the other body parts. 😢
Weren’t they burned in the fire place?
@@SarahLovesBoobahandErEr just their heads were
@@maxmanx1294 oh man, really?
@@SarahLovesBoobahandErEr And some arm parts, finger bones were found
They found skull fragments, finger bones , and knee cap bones and some vertibre I believe.
Chandler wore a mask when purchasing the ice, but didn't wear one when purchasing the tarp. In fact, if you look at the video, no one in the store was wearing a mask. I call BS on this nonsense.
In what way?
Some stores do not require mask. If they don’t have food.
Really that's what you find amusing about this trial? That he wasn't wearing a mask?
The masks are useless according to my MD. Most people are now wearing cloth which does NOT prevent the transmission of a virus.
Kristine Bailey- Some MDs are also practicing Scientologists, this doesn't make Xenu real. Cloth masks aren't ideal but they are CERTAINLY better than nothing and there's plenty of easily accessible evidence to support this. Especially in an issue that has stupidly become so political, it's important to determine the opinion of the scientific community as a whole.
