Can we appreciate the wit on the prosecutor. Best Part: Andrea: Have you seen what has become of my life… prosecutor: Have you seen what’s become of Rusty’s?
@@sharpshooter_Aus The black bloke was prosecuting actually, and even if he was defending her that's an irrelevant statement. It's like saying "I'm not surprised the bearded fella was in defence." What are you trying to say?
I love how the lawyer quipped back to Andrea, about the email, “Then read it to me, I only know English.” 😂. She was being a smartass to him and he gave it right back.
Andrea sure had an answer for everything! Well this was on her too, I am glad that she didn’t get away with her part in this! She had it all: loving husband, children and a great job. Then she throws this all away for this scumbag?! If he is will to do this murder for you, what makes you think that he won’t turn around and do the same to you??? She is trash! Some people just can’t really stick out a marriage in the true sense; just totally sad!!!
@@moonyshine Mr. Ballen is clearly American. Is he Irish by ancestry? Both of our favorites dropping a vid just hours apart today. That's a REALLY good day, isn't it? 😁👏
@@robland6804 I mean we will probably never know her part in it but deleting texts, the phone company and phone itself probably had back up records and the lawyers on both sides most likely reviewed them and didn't find a smoking gun to say she was part of it. Imo I don't think she was, was it kind of a crap thing for her to be doing, leading on the dude? Yes. But either she's a very good actress or she didn't realize the severity of what she had been putting in the guy's head and she was confused about what she wanted in life as well. Idk.
@@ShawnicornMindshiftCoachingnailed it. Narcissist are very cunning and easily out smart those who don't know the tell-tell personality traits of lack thereof in those who have this very covert personality disorder. They have no real emotions and mirror the successful, intelligent people around them as well as mirroring the emotions of those they believe have the best traits. You can tell a narcissist but by watching them around different people and in different situations, their personality will change (mirror) to fit the situation and others they are around. They change their personality more than they blink! I have seen narcissist who could cool anyone but they can't cool those who have been educated in narcissism by the best , and that is those of us whom have survived narcissism abuse. Never ignore the red flags! 👀
I’ve watched so many of these that even if I’m completely 100% innocent I’m lawyering up before a single word is spoken. The amount of people that go get interrogated without a lawyer is simply amazing.
Nice idea and me too, i've seen too many interrogation videos which innocent people have gone to jail due to being led down a certain route with their words and answers. You have the right to remain silent sir.... I do indeed and from here on in i'll do just that That would be all i'd be saying
I see the cops as very manipulative. They try to convince you they are your friends, that if you just talk, it will be better for you, that you look guilty asking for a lawyer, there is nothing to worry about if you are telling the truth. Ugh. Working with cops (as security_)at the library, I got advise from them. 1) don't let them take you to Ben Taub unless your heart stops (Ben Taub is renwown for their heart surgeons in the Houston Medical Center) 2)Lawyer up
id say she showed anger a lot. its obvious just from the video....my question is .....why did she delete texts......which would have proved her innocent......the day of the murder.....and why was she taking business trips with a guy who literally invented reasons for being there ......
@@bladoodyscabloody1143 It seemed more like indifference to me. She already contradicted herself on the day of the shooting. Telling her friend that Rusty was shot before she got to the hospital… then telling investigators that she didn’t know what had happened until she got to the hospital.
Her dry & forced "emotion", if you can call that poor acting preformance "emotions"...so frustrating and difficult to watch. Mike made her story & testimony 110% better. Otherwise i think i would have stopped the video if it were just her witness testimony/story on its own; she was so unpalatable?! 😐 she def should have taken the advice of her council & not taken the witness stand💡
Because she didn't "break the law". She was hemmed up with a lot of BS charges that stuck after the fact and just because you do not like a suspects explanation for things that does not automatically mean they are lying. In this case justice was NOT served for Andrea Schneiderman. She was a victim, turned into a villain by a zealous prosecutor only because they thought she was adulterous. Even if she was, that does not make her a murderer.
@@greenhowze I agree that adultery isn’t a crime and shouldn’t be treated as such, but if she did have an affair then she definitely did commit perjury, impeding the progress of her own husband’s murder trial, which is irresponsible and illegal. That’s what she served time for.
I used to work for the pediatric doctor (Dr. Gfroerer) who tried to save Rusty. He rarely talked about it because he was devastated he couldn't save him.
I watched this trial, endlessly shocked at zero regard for trauma inflicted on passerby, on their annointed peers, but children incl theirs present is still shocking... narcissism had overridden all their humanity.
I was put in a similar situation in which a friend of mine received a knife wound to the neck, despite my best efforts to stop the bleeding, he passed away. I haven’t been the same since that day, and not 1 minute has passed in which it failed to cross my mind since that day.
@@spencerhughes3670I'm so sorry for your loss and for the pain that you've gone through since then and I pray for your complete healing. Keep going; you did your best. And your friend knew that too. May he R.I.P. personally I feel like they watch over us afterwards. In any case, be blessed. Mom hugs 😌
I don’t see how they can claim he didn’t have the capacity to know right from wrong when he committed the shooting in a disguise and attempted to not get caught seems like you’re aware that you’re committing a crime.
Psychosis is a hell of a thing. You can have absolutely bats**t crazy beliefs, yet still have some whole operational system for setting things up/running certain parts of your life. Functioning under a false set of beliefs... I have no trouble believing that that disconnection from reality can occur while you simultaneously do all sorts of stuff in pursuit of a certain end (not that I'm saying this is what happened here, but I just want people to understand delusional people can seem to be operating quite rationally when inside, they are anything but).
Yes but even though you might be delusional if you try to prevent your crime being noticed that is still evidence that you are thinking clearly enough to be responsible for your actions. McNaughten laws …
Yeh I was about to comment much the same. There are plenty of people who suffer from serious mental ailments but retain strong moral values. If I'm on the jury, I'm only agreeing with an insanity plea if the person just did the deed with no attempt to flee/hide or disguise themselves in any way.
Schrodinger's Feminism. Women are both simultaneously victim and empowered, strong and independent and choose which role to play at any given time dependent upon the situation.
I couldn’t BELIEVE when she was in court and the prosecutor said something about her husband being murdered and she said “have you seen what has happened to MY life?!?!” Narcissistic af
That's not what happened lol.. The prosecutor asked her why she didn't tell the police about her boss right away & she was basically saying she wasn't thinking rationally because she was in shock. Her husband just died & her & her kid's life changed in that second..
@@biscuitgidoni2804 Even though the prosecutor didn’t directly say “your husband was murdered” and was asking about Andrea not mentioning anything about her boss. She immediately cuts him off and puts everything on her. I can get her being upset because her husband was murdered but it’s really odd that she flipped out on the prosecutor and said “what about my life?” It’s like she knows she’s guilty or narcissistic.
This lady has the same fatal flaw all psychopaths share: She can't read the room. She literally believed people would buy what she was selling. Her own arrogance is what got her.
When your lawyers are telling you not to do something, you really need to listen. Only a true narcissist or a really, incredibly dense person would go against their own counsel.
Yes, I think that if she would listen to the lawyer she could be free. He murdered. She never told him "kill my husband". What evidence they had? We can't take responsobility of action of others. She should confirm romance not deny all of it. Defence would be easier.
@@martaanna9185 Yeah that is true, but the problem is she has been caught out telling so many lies that no one knows what the truth is. If she had just been honest about the affair and admitted to it being a mistake, she would have been perceived more believable.
She knew what would be discovered and needed to run damage control. She wanted to control how it was presented and interpreted, thinking, 'Hey, I was there, this is what it was' (they're just stupid attorney's). Sorry honey, you've never done this before. Those stupid attorney's do this every day.
"Good men don't sleep with other men's wives. Good men don't sit at their table when they know they're having an affair with the man's wife. Good men don't do what he did. GOOD MEN DO NOT DO THIS!! " ok go off Mr lawyer cause you right
All my worries fade away when I snuggle up and hear "Let's give it a goo!". I can feel the tension leaving my body. I don't have much to look forward to these days but your videos are one. Thank you for being you.
Same here. Personal life is a mess and not much joy but I too relax and drift into 'That Chapter' with every video posted. Hope things improve for you April Showers. Keep smiling if you can!
He knew it was illegal, that doesn't mean he knew it was wrong. However the fact that he didn't want to kill Rusty in front of his son does shows rational moral reasoning in the moment. I didn't buy his story either.
In these scenarios, whenever I see people that have that, "Trying to appear and act as societally acceptable as possible," aura about them, I'm always sceptical and more apt to believe there's more to it and stuff bubbling under the surface. They try too hard.
Mike, fyi the 2 buildings at 2:23 are the King and Queen buildings of Dunwoody. I have had a couple of jobs in that area over the years. They are lit at night and the colors change periodically; red and green for Christmas, for example. Landmarks of sitting in traffic on I285...
To be fair, she was referring to her testifying at someone else's trial (Hemy's), not her own trial. But yeah... I have a hard time believing she was really that shocked.
No, she was a witness in Hemy's murder trial. She was not on trial. She took the stand as a witness, and she said she wanted to prove Hemy was sane, so he didn't get away with murdering her husband. Her trial was *after* hemy's trial, and her testimony in Hemy's trial was used against her in her trial. It's not a crime as the widow to want to testify against the murderer.
@@limlaith Yeah, that's not narcissism. If anything it MIGHT be borderline personality disorder, but we don't have the details. Lots of armchair doctors in the comments
Holy shit she does and you slayed me with that one Thank you for that. She looks like the celery or broccoli only a female version with glasses. Or that Muppet Beaker who just worked in the lab made squeaks and got set on fire a lot by his lab partner or whatev
Did she though? Did she strike you as someone who was smart enough to manipulate anyone? I guess that says a lot about Hemy lol. He was running his own business, but was played by ugly woman with a room temperature IQ.
Andrea shows classic signs of being a narcissist. Taking the stand when told not to. She paid the price for thinking she was smarter than everyone else!!
I was thinking exactly this. My guess is she did it mainly to show everyone how 'innocent' she was, exactly because she was guilty. Also, doesn't she classify as sociopath if she was involved? They have NPD symptoms too.
Rewatching old vids, and I fully believe she did it, but it’s kind of hilarious to me as a Jewish person that she didn’t just…get a divorce. In Judaism it’s literally required you give your spouse a divorce if they ask for one, so it’s not like there was even a religious component to it. If I had to guess, she wanted Hedi to be caught so she didn’t have to deal with him expecting after getting rid of Rusty. Regardless, may Rusty’s memory be a blessing.
@@mary._.yamborghini you have to actively change your LI beneficiary after divorce so she could’ve still received it, but yeah-the financial motive was definitely significant. I was mostly commenting on the fact that it’s not unheard of for Christians to kill their spouses either fully or in part because the doctrine they follow forbids divorce. There is no such rule in Judaism.
When I heard that, I was like, "That's my lawyer! I haven't done anything criminal, but if I did, HE is the one I would choose to represent me!" 💁🏻♀💁🏻♀😂😂
Andrea is so rude and snarky during Hemi’s trial. I think she led Hemi to believe he had a chance with her if Rusty was out of the picture. She set this in motion. She deserved prison. Her tears may have been genuine, but she only cried for herself. Narcissists are selfish and dangerous. Prayers for Rusty’ family.
I agree with you 100% ! I was thinking the very same thing about Andrea’s courtroom testimony. Her husband was murdered and she seems almost defiant. Crocodile tears for herself after she was found guilty but not a tear for her poor husband! I believe she deserved a longer sentence than she received and if not for her actions her husband would still be alive. It really makes you question the American judicial system, my Prayers to the family of Rusty .
isn't it bad enough that she only got 22 months in prison and she probably had her husband murdered either indirectly or because she had an affair with the guy that murdered him? Why are people always so concerned re: perpetrators rights? Don't we have enough sociopaths, who, much like this woman, get off with just a brief sentence, and get out EARLY, as it IS? I'm wondering why people don't understand that certain people are bound and determined to re-offend and so by putting them back out into society, is putting a predator back out into the World. 🤔 SOME PEOPLE CAN'T BE CURED of WHAT IS AILING THEM... maybe if we made Judges and parole boards personally responsible for future crimes committed by people they short- sentence OR give parole to, they would be a little more careful about their decisions.
@@suzannenichols6900 I'm not concerned with HER. I'm concerned with everyone in the comments who might get into the situation where cops ask them to waive their rights.
And why did she say, ``he could have been a Mexican worker?'' How uncalled for! I mean, he does kinda look Mexican, but she was saying it, like, he was so unrecognizable in disguise.
If she received a subpoena, she may not have had a choice. It's easy for someone to say, "Oh, you shouldn't do that," but the most she could do would be to plead the 5th amendment. (Maybe I missed something, that she volunteered to testify, but it would seem to me that this could have been a non-voluntary situation.)
Poor Rusty paid a terrible price for his cheating wife and her killer boyfriend. The children were cheated out of a normal childhood growing up with a father who loved them. I cannot imagine the long term effect this will have on them.
He made the wrong decision on the day he married that hideous woman. And he paid the price. Not very smart. The children are probably better off without both those halfwits.
@@lisafoos8976 She reminds me of the worst substitute teacher I ever had. Just miserable as hell and makes everyone walk on eggshells around her because she's looking for a reason to spread that misery. Yet somehow, she thinks she's better than everyone else. I hate to use a word that's so used up right now, but that woman is a Karen.
By dry cries that turn to anger are you referring to at the end when she said the prosecution was attacking her? 😂 I'm just wondering because I didn't watch all of it, I put it on in the background while I worked. But anyway yeah she fucking sucks at lying! She's just all kinds of awful 😒🙄
As an aside, that forensic psychologist looks like she's having the time of her life. That is the face of someone finally getting a chance to flex after working ten thousand divorce hearings.
i thought she was annoying in a way that highlighted what i didnt like about the very unlikeable andrea character, which is maybe a little too meta in trying to discern Prosecutorial Strategy lol
Hemy is supposedly sick enough to not be able to know right of wrong, but he still knew how to rent a car, take off the plates, put a fake beard and run away. For me, that means perfectly knowing what he's doing is totally wrong. If he was really sick and delusionnal, he would have killed Rusty oppenly and then be surprised he didn't receive a hero's welcome for saving the children. For andrea, I really don't know. It's really easy to accuse someone of manipulating others, but really hard to prove. Not having access to all the data, I'll just say I don't know.
court psychiatrists are a joke, its ridiculous how often they believe the bullshit 'i was manipulated, and also demons in my head' story lmfao. if anything, her testimony would give me doubt into the entire judicial process, if we have idiots like her making important decisions, we are all screwed.
Not necessarily. It REALLY depends on how deep into the delusion one is AND if there's any outside influences/manipulation - well intentioned or not - that could affect the person's decision making abilities as well as their ability to carry out tasks, simple or complicated. It's not as cut and dry as you seem to think it is. 🙄🙄🤦🏼🤦🏼
@@Kazza_8240 There's a funny line on one of the radio stations in grand theft auto vice city where they're talking about the Scottish heavy metal band 'Love Fist' That goes something like 'And now on the show, all the way from Scotland England ...

I grew up right nearby (East Cobb), and had just started my final year of middle school when this happened. My personal opinion (just based on the type of people I grew up around; who lived that same lifestyle and had the same types of social circles) is that Andrea got addicted to the “rush” of having an affair, and then stupidly lied throughout the investigation to preserve her image- I don’t think she planned or even wanted her husband dead. Appearances are *everything* to people here. It’s honestly quite ridiculous. My own mom cared more about how I dressed and did my hair than she did about my grades/mental health. Same goes for almost every other kid at my old schools. To Andrea- her reputation was more important than solving her husband’s murder. It’s incredibly heinous, but it’s not murder. I think she deserved the 5 years she got (and I hope it knocked her down several pegs), but the reality is she probably had no idea what her lover was planning. It’s really just shallow all around. I wouldn’t recommend moving here unless you already have a good head on your shoulders. It’s very easy to get caught up in the gossip and “superior” feeling lots of people have around here. Be kind, be yourself, and DONT HAVE AN AFFAIR! Keep that up and you’re golden.
Woah. Gah dayum. Sounds like a subtle hell. I’ll steer clear thanks. Y oh seem to have turned out well thank goodness.. I’m sorry about your childhood. F$cking hell. I truly hope you find happiness and wellness now. 💜✨
This is a great take. I lived nearly a decade in one of Kansas City's wealthy suburbs and I totally get what you are saying. Appearances are everything for these people. You'd see people living in multi-million dollar McMansions with a Porsche and a Benz parked outside while they are penniless and about to be foreclosed. People pretending to have degrees from an Ivy league school or Stanford when they graduated from the University of Kansas. What's wrong with the University of Kansas? Absolutely nothing, but it doesn't sound prestigious enough for these twats.
I thought this was the most likely scenario too, until I heard the bit about her deleting texts between her and Hemy that morning and the fact that she knew he was shot before anyone informed her that he was shot. So I'm leaning towards the idea that she knew it was going to happen. But I do absolutely agree that in scenarios like this, it's possible that appearance will motivate even when it should be the last thing on anyone's mind. 😞
Rusty should have caught on to her and bailed long before. Sorry, no way my wife is going on these trips with some creepy dude, she'll just get a new job cuz that's a little too weird.
She didn't cry much about the death of her husband, but she did cry at her own trial. Then there's the bar lady's testimony about all the kissing an groping and the emails... Did she really only hold hand and cry on his shoulder? I don't think so. How did she know her husband was shot?🤔 All seems very sus...
As much as I agree more would be nice I think the reason the standard is so high is he doesn't 'rush' them out (although 3/4 days could be considered very fast turn around within itself) I wouldnt want to see the standard slip just to get a few more videos a week after all there's many people that do this kind of thing including some doing daily or more frequent videos even and none are as good as Mike!
@@MAnna-tq9hg I found him late last year and took a good few weeks just watching from the start.... sad to say I caught up fairly fast and have to wait now like everyone else 🤣🤣🤣
Darlene, probably we all agree with you but yes, dont want to jeopardize quality... but I have GREAT news for you. If you decide to support him and.join Patreon, you will receive an extra bid a week. Same awesome quality and you would also get the amazing feeling of satisfaction by supporting his work :) Ps. I just did 2 weeks ago when he mentioned it in one of the videos (which he almost never do). I was so surprised as I wasn't expecting anything really.
My mum quit as a defence Barrister because she couldn't stomach defending human garbage that she knew were guilty as sin. She went into Corporate Law advising Corporations how to legally hide assets from the tax man. which is it's own cesspool in some ways.
“It was him the WHOLE TIME.” She acts likes she’s telling campfire stories to ten year olds 😂 ETA- I just wanna clarify that I am not trying to make fun of or laugh at the situation. It’s the audacity of this woman that is just ridiculous. It’s insane.
@@ymirs4400 She was a prosecution witness in the trial against Neuman - you have to make an application to the court to treat a witness you have called as unfavourable and start attacking them so yes it should be a surprise to most if not all witnesses Police are not your friends, ever.
The nerve of that psychopath Andrea to ask for mercy because of her kids. She sure as heck didn´t think about them and how their lives would be shattered by planning her husband´s murder.
The fact that Andrea knew why her husband was in the hospital before anyone had told her that he was in the hospital proves foreknowledge and thus guilt
Orrrrrrr a witness has honestly mistranscribed a small detail into a conversation that never actually was spoken via confabulation, unaware of its significance because they have not heard all the other evidence in the trial, and this has led to a wrongful conviction. Happens all the time... The memory of witnesses are notoriously fallible and malleable to all criminal defense practitioners. A witness can be honest but still wrong.
Living in Atlanta during that time, it was obvious that she was involved and got away with being involved in the murder of Rusty. Hemy was her pawn. Very sad for the children.
I humbly disagree... I believe he done this on his own, his attorneys threw her under the bus to save him 🙄..... I don't believe everything she said on stand however majority of her testimony was the truth.... I believe she went to him explaining what happened at her home ( when guy was hiding with gun ( however it took place) on their property), he knew it was him the entire time 🙄. This poor woman lost her husband, then was traumatized by both Prosecution and Defense imo..... None of us know what actually took place, however I believe she is a innocent woman, falsely accused of this Horrendous Murder......
@@diamondleigh7280 I mean there's a very significant amount of circumstancial evidence she was definitely having the affair..from the friend to the bartender and getting single rooms The affair is 99.9% likely, which definitely doesn't make her innocent in this, but if she wasn't aware of his mental health issues definitely couldn't remotely predict a murderous response like that, and that definitely isn't her fault. I would just say it isn't just cut and dry like you're making it out to be he haha The defense definitely was painting her as the villain to try and get a lesser sentence or at least ameliorate his guilt in all this
@@diamondleigh7280 I agree with you. I think she got caught up into some emotional affair but never intended to have her husband murdered. I don't think she would have been able to know the truth and hide it, she doesn't seem that psychotic. The lawyers on Hemmy's side have no other option...ofc they're gonna rope her into it. Ofc they're going to grasp at the only straw they can find. Hemmy didn't have much of a leg to stand on.
Minor detail, but the idea of a “very prestigious preschool” boggles my mind. Like, good job, you learned how to count to blue in an Ivy League environment.
I'm just here to point out how stellar the video equipment always is in interrogation rooms. The visual and audio is always top notch - crisp and clear. It's a good thing because I can't imagine anything more important than clear evidence in serious cases. **Sarcasm**
See you would think we have progressed technologically speaking but I swear a lot of these cases in the 2010s+ somehow look/sound worse than some 1990s interview footage i've seen. It's ridiculous.
I thought the detective was having a stroke due to how choppy the audio was. And you are exactly right. Of all the things to go cheap on, why the AV equipment in the fckn interrogation room. This looks and sounds like 1990s era equipment, and for the price of one handgun they could probably produce at least TH-cam quality video and sound for the court.
I'm old school, so I apologize for not knowing how this stuff works. I just wanted to say that I sincerely hope that if it is possible, that Mike does make a living posting these videos. It is very difficult telling/making some of these events (some really horrid ones) even tolerable to listen to. Mike has a rare ability to make one laugh out loud or even smile when we know we really shouldn't be. He does it in a way that means no disrespect to the victims or their families/loved ones. It is a rare gift Mike, and I hope you are fully credited for it. Smiles from Canada 🍁⛄
Funny I should find this comment as I had the sudden urge before playing this video to research how much this channel makes. You need not worry about Mike he's clearing about 1,000 dollars a week!!!!
OMG, f***ing liar, where did you get that from?? Can you please put here the document where you get that from? Cause I also saw a pink elephant flying over the judge’s head, you know??
For someone who got her husband murdered by a maniac, she sure doesn't seem apologetic or distraught. Having said that...just because the guy is delusional doesn't mean he necessarily let's others know what is happening in his head.
She didn't get him murdered unless she had some idea the guy would murder him. Allowing someone to give you gifts and shit is not wanting them to kill your partner. I have an open relationship, does that mean if some suitor kills my partner I caused it? If not, then how does non/consent of one's husband make someone more/less likely to kill yr husband?
@@SpecialBlanket If you have an affair or allow someone to think there is a chance with you and that person kills your partner. IT IS your fault. You may not be criminally liable for it, and in this case I don't think she is as I don't think she asked this guy to kill her husband, but she DID contribute to her husband's death because if it hadn't been for her pussy footing around with this guy, he wouldn't have honed in on her. HAD he just had an obsession without her doing anything-that's TOTATLLY different and she would NOT be responsible.
@RtauszTZT 8598ZeP It is a trial about her husband's murder and people are implying she spurred this action. Why wouldn't you look distraught? That would be a NORMAL response.
"Your honor, I ignored my lawyers, family and everyone who told me not to take the stand. I didn't prepare for this case by reading any emails or documents. I lied to you, the attorneys and the jury numerous times when on the stand... ...But anyway, please be lenient and trust me now when I tell you I didn't have an affair."
I can’t stand seeing these people with beautiful families, lovely children, handsome husbands, big beautiful homes, just throwing it away. Rusty was a very handsome and successful guy, a good dad, and decent human being. In my mind you have to be completely insane to destroy all that. To traumatize the children FOREVER, to hurt Rusty’s WHOLE FAMILY and just burn your life to the ground, that is so ‘effed’ up!
Honestly, like, do these rich folks just get bored? Is it about the power trip? I don't understand. Even if they had divorced, _she's_ the one making all the money in the household, so she purposefully chose the route where everyone loses everything...for no reason.
Watching the prosecution doing his thing, saying: "Good men do not sleep with another man's wife! Good men do NOT do this!" (must have been pointing at a photo of the victim...) Me: fiercely nodding and at the end calling out: "Preach, brother, preach!"
Impressive how the cops went straight to the wife and asked her about any new romantic interests. They know what's up. It almost always involves a current or past lover. People are animals.
I don't understand why people think it's a good idea to kill anyone they have a relationship with. You're going to be the first suspect, and even Meryl Streep isn't going to act her way out of every interrogation and interaction with the police, media, and the victim's family and friends. They're going to connect you. Even if you beat the nearly impossible odds and manage to evade justice, it will be by the skin of your teeth and will hang over your head forever.
This is a lesson for many married people in the job place when they flirt and cross the line, sending signals of compromising themselves and one of the parties take it seriously! Beware!
When your lawyers tell you not to talk or not to take the stand LISTEN TO THEM! That's why you hired them, right? Some people are so arrogant they think they can blatantly lie to a Jury/court room full of people,. Meanwhile, it's beyond obvious they're lying. I'm glad she was fool 🤷🏻♀️
You know the real issue isn't even lying. It's fallibility. People think their own memories are infallible. They think, "I've done nothing wrong." There's an overwhelming misplaced trust that the lawyers won't twist words, or spin the truth, and that the jury will be able to see through emotional manipulation, theatrics, and will just "forget" when a lawyer asserts something without evidence. Most of her testimony involved the defense attorney ramming her for being a cheater. There was no evidence she told Hemy to kill her husband, but because she did one immoral thing, she must be guilty of murder. That's where it falls apart.
@@abegarfield7638 No, that isn't true. Lawyers don't put anyone on the stand that they don't have to and who hasn't gone through trial prep. Any loose cannon can upend their cases, whether they are guilty or innocent. It sounds like the prosecution called Andrea to the stand, in this case, but her personal lawyer told her not to, that she wasn't needed to convict Hemmy. Andrea, being a dumbass, thought she was acting on her own behalf, clearing her own name, and never went through trial prep and ignored her lawyer. NEVER ignore your lawyer.
Did anyone else notice the Freudian slip of her saying: when Hemy was murdered? Like damn couldn’t even pretend to feel bad or have any love for your husband
@@amberdiaz5847 Because, not everything "misspoken" is considered a "Freudian Slip". Even if you know a "big" word and are eager to use it, doesn't mean it applies everywhere and to everything.
@@MAC0071234 Context is everything. Assuming I think the PHRASE “Freudian slip”-not “word”-is a big one…🤣 You’re comical. In this particular context, it is a slip, being that her subconscious mind was thinking of her affair partner.
"I was shocked when the prosecution began *attacking* me." I mean... They're _supposed_ to prosecute, interrogate-- they're not "attacking" so much as throwing what you've done back in your face-
The issue is, if you want to defend yourself (not in a legal representation sense) or you want to defend whoever is on trial then you have to open yourself up to cross examination by both the defence and the prosecution. You have to be a bit bonkers to ignore the advice of all legal counsel and take the stand because for every decent point or thing you might have to say, the prosecution will shred you six ways to Sunday and anyone that’s ever been in a criminal courtroom trial will know this. She was crazy to think this was a good idea and the second she made that choice.(From the clips alone of the older gentleman with the Mo and the younger black prosecutor, any sane person (I think, would think “Not an effing chance am I opening that can of worms, I’m not even sure if it’ll be worms that come out of the can, and I’m the one being questioned!”, before she had even opened her mouth, she had talked herself into prison time. She seems intelligent but her egotism or inflated sense of intellect made her make really just a baffling decision. She got what she deserved, the killer got fucked over. He needed serious involuntary psychiatric help for a LONG period of time and perhaps never being allowed back into society but he’d been living with undiagnosed bipolar for what, 30 years? Life in jail seems like an injustice to me, not that I’m in any way advocating for him to be in society ever again. To me it depends on just how independently the choice was made to bump off the husband. The real, huge and upsetting injustice is those kids going into foster care which we already know can be pretty dicey and when they’re old enough to know what happened, that’s going to mess them up something shocking. I hope they make it out.
I know this case. Andrea is so unlikable. Her poor husband. I've never seen your take on this crazy one, Mike. Undoubtedly will be good. Let's give it a goooo. 😁

@@ShawnicornMindshiftCoachingnailed it. Narcissist are very cunning and easily out smart those who don't know the tell-tell personality traits of lack thereof in those who have this very covert personality disorder. They have no real emotions and mirror the successful, intelligent people around them as well as mirroring the emotions of those they believe have the best traits. You can tell a narcissist but by watching them around different people and in different situations, their personality will change (mirror) to fit the situation and others they are around. They change their personality more than they blink! I have seen narcissist who could cool anyone but they can't cool those who have been educated in narcissism by the best , and that is those of us whom have survived narcissism abuse. Never ignore the red flags! 👀
To me she seems as tho she might a narcissist
I’ve watched so many of these that even if I’m completely 100% innocent I’m lawyering up before a single word is spoken. The amount of people that go get interrogated without a lawyer is simply amazing.
They really need to watch more true crime!
Amen brother!! Innocent folks need an attorney MORE...imho 😉
Yup.. Not a word from me😑
Nice idea and me too, i've seen too many interrogation videos which innocent people have gone to jail due to being led down a certain route with their words and answers. You have the right to remain silent sir.... I do indeed and from here on in i'll do just that
That would be all i'd be saying
I see the cops as very manipulative. They try to convince you they are your friends, that if you just talk, it will be better for you, that you look guilty asking for a lawyer, there is nothing to worry about if you are telling the truth. Ugh. Working with cops (as security_)at the library, I got advise from them. 1) don't let them take you to Ben Taub unless your heart stops (Ben Taub is renwown for their heart surgeons in the Houston Medical Center) 2)Lawyer up
The only time Andrea showed any sort of emotion was when she was speaking at her own trial about the prosecution’s treatment of her.
id say she showed anger a lot. its obvious just from the video....my question is .....why did she delete texts......which would have proved her innocent......the day of the murder.....and why was she taking business trips with a guy who literally invented reasons for being there ......
Typical narcissist. Poor me.
@@bladoodyscabloody1143 It seemed more like indifference to me. She already contradicted herself on the day of the shooting. Telling her friend that Rusty was shot before she got to the hospital… then telling investigators that she didn’t know what had happened until she got to the hospital.
Her dry & forced "emotion", if you can call that poor acting preformance "emotions"...so frustrating and difficult to watch. Mike made her story & testimony 110% better. Otherwise i think i would have stopped the video if it were just her witness testimony/story on its own; she was so unpalatable?! 😐 she def should have taken the advice of her council & not taken the witness stand💡
Yep she is evil
I can't stand when a woman says, "Judge, please think of my children!" Why wasn't SHE thinking of her children when she broke the law?!?
Because she didn't "break the law".
She was hemmed up with a lot of BS charges that stuck after the fact and just because you do not like a suspects explanation for things that does not automatically mean they are lying. In this case justice was NOT served for Andrea Schneiderman.
She was a victim, turned into a villain by a zealous prosecutor only because they thought she was adulterous. Even if she was, that does not make her a murderer.
@@greenhowze bad take
@@greenhowze I agree that adultery isn’t a crime and shouldn’t be treated as such, but if she did have an affair then she definitely did commit perjury, impeding the progress of her own husband’s murder trial, which is irresponsible and illegal. That’s what she served time for.

I used to work for the pediatric doctor (Dr. Gfroerer) who tried to save Rusty. He rarely talked about it because he was devastated he couldn't save him.
I watched this trial, endlessly shocked at zero regard for trauma inflicted on passerby, on their annointed peers, but children incl theirs present is still shocking... narcissism had overridden all their humanity.
I was put in a similar situation in which a friend of mine received a knife wound to the neck, despite my best efforts to stop the bleeding, he passed away.

I don’t see how they can claim he didn’t have the capacity to know right from wrong when he committed the shooting in a disguise and attempted to not get caught seems like you’re aware that you’re committing a crime.
i mean, you can claim whatever you want, it doesnt make it true
Yesss!! Make it make sense!
Psychosis is a hell of a thing. You can have absolutely bats**t crazy beliefs, yet still have some whole operational system for setting things up/running certain parts of your life. Functioning under a false set of beliefs... I have no trouble believing that that disconnection from reality can occur while you simultaneously do all sorts of stuff in pursuit of a certain end (not that I'm saying this is what happened here, but I just want people to understand delusional people can seem to be operating quite rationally when inside, they are anything but).
Yes but even though you might be delusional if you try to prevent your crime being noticed that is still evidence that you are thinking clearly enough to be responsible for your actions. McNaughten laws …
Yeh I was about to comment much the same. There are plenty of people who suffer from serious mental ailments but retain strong moral values. If I'm on the jury, I'm only agreeing with an insanity plea if the person just did the deed with no attempt to flee/hide or disguise themselves in any way.
I love how she is crying for herself asking for leniency and couldn't conjure up any emotion when speaking about her dead husband.

She was literally on trial for involvement in a murder, but is "shocked" at the prosecution attacking her? Ok then
To be fair, she was referring to her testifying at someone else's trial (Hemy's), not her own trial.
But yeah... I have a hard time believing she was really that shocked.
No, she was a witness in Hemy's murder trial. She was not on trial. She took the stand as a witness, and she said she wanted to prove Hemy was sane, so he didn't get away with murdering her husband. Her trial was *after* hemy's trial, and her testimony in Hemy's trial was used against her in her trial. It's not a crime as the widow to want to testify against the murderer.
SHE wasn’t on trial. Hemy was.

@Reignman trust me you don't have to he smart to be manipulative...I've had the unfortunate experience of knowing someone just like that.
Andrea shows classic signs of being a narcissist. Taking the stand when told not to. She paid the price for thinking she was smarter than everyone else!!
I was thinking exactly this. My guess is she did it mainly to show everyone how 'innocent' she was, exactly because she was guilty. Also, doesn't she classify as sociopath if she was involved? They have NPD symptoms too.

Rewatching old vids, and I fully believe she did it, but it’s kind of hilarious to me as a Jewish person that she didn’t just…get a divorce. In Judaism it’s literally required you give your spouse a divorce if they ask for one, so it’s not like there was even a religious component to it. If I had to guess, she wanted Hedi to be caught so she didn’t have to deal with him expecting after getting rid of Rusty. Regardless, may Rusty’s memory be a blessing.
I noticed he seemed much more devout at his second trial. Hopefully, his repentance is sincere.
I think the life insurance played a part, don't think she'd still be beneficiary if they got divorced
@@mary._.yamborghini you have to actively change your LI beneficiary after divorce so she could’ve still received it, but yeah-the financial motive was definitely significant. I was mostly commenting on the fact that it’s not unheard of for Christians to kill their spouses either fully or in part because the doctrine they follow forbids divorce. There is no such rule in Judaism.
When a person weeps more about their own potential conviction than the murder of their husband there's a picture of guilt there.

I believe she deserved a longer sentence than she received and if not for her actions her husband would still be alive. It really makes you question the American judicial system, my Prayers to the family of Rusty .
Never EVER waive your rights, ESPECIALLY when you're being questioned in relation to a murder.
isn't it bad enough that she only got 22 months in prison and she probably had her husband murdered either indirectly or because she had an affair with the guy that murdered him?
Why are people always so concerned re: perpetrators rights? Don't we have enough sociopaths, who, much like this woman, get off with just a brief sentence, and get out EARLY, as it IS?
I'm wondering why people don't understand that certain people are bound and determined to re-offend and so by putting them back out into society, is putting a predator back out into the World. 🤔

Hemy is supposedly sick enough to not be able to know right of wrong, but he still knew how to rent a car, take off the plates, put a fake beard and run away. For me, that means perfectly knowing what he's doing is totally wrong. If he was really sick and delusionnal, he would have killed Rusty oppenly and then be surprised he didn't receive a hero's welcome for saving the children. For andrea, I really don't know. It's really easy to accuse someone of manipulating others, but really hard to prove. Not having access to all the data, I'll just say I don't know.
court psychiatrists are a joke, its ridiculous how often they believe the bullshit 'i was manipulated, and also demons in my head' story lmfao. if anything, her testimony would give me doubt into the entire judicial process, if we have idiots like her making important decisions, we are all screwed.

Not necessarily.

I grew up right nearby (East Cobb), and had just started my final year of middle school when this happened. My personal opinion (just based on the type of people I grew up around; who lived that same lifestyle and had the same types of social circles) is that Andrea got addicted to the “rush” of having an affair, and then stupidly lied throughout the investigation to preserve her image- I don’t think she planned or even wanted her husband dead.
Appearances are *everything* to people here. It’s honestly quite ridiculous. My own mom cared more about how I dressed and did my hair than she did about my grades/mental health. Same goes for almost every other kid at my old schools. To Andrea- her reputation was more important than solving her husband’s murder. It’s incredibly heinous, but it’s not murder. I think she deserved the 5 years she got (and I hope it knocked her down several pegs), but the reality is she probably had no idea what her lover was planning.
It’s really just shallow all around. I wouldn’t recommend moving here unless you already have a good head on your shoulders. It’s very easy to get caught up in the gossip and “superior” feeling lots of people have around here. Be kind, be yourself, and DONT HAVE AN AFFAIR! Keep that up and you’re golden.
Yr mental health is fine. Parenting is hard and we all make mistakes. I hope yr mum is not alive to read yr comment.
Woah. Gah dayum. Sounds like a subtle hell. I’ll steer clear thanks. Y oh seem to have turned out well thank goodness.. I’m sorry about your childhood. F$cking hell.

This is a great take. I lived nearly a decade in one of Kansas City's wealthy suburbs and I totally get what you are saying. Appearances are everything for these people. You'd see people living in multi-million dollar McMansions with a Porsche and a Benz parked outside while they are penniless and about to be foreclosed. People pretending to have degrees from an Ivy league school or Stanford when they graduated from the University of Kansas. What's wrong with the University of Kansas? Absolutely nothing, but it doesn't sound prestigious enough for these twats.
@@frustratedalien666 you are bitching. About college. And how the democrats are making sure of who's stupid. Gets through
I thought this was the most likely scenario too, until I heard the bit about her deleting texts between her and Hemy that morning and the fact that she knew he was shot before anyone informed her that he was shot. So I'm leaning towards the idea that she knew it was going to happen. But I do absolutely agree that in scenarios like this, it's possible that appearance will motivate even when it should be the last thing on anyone's mind. 😞
I feel so bad for Rusty’s children, his parents and siblings. Andrea is something else. She is a lying, self centered head case.
Yes, but don't forget that Hemy was the one who pulled the trigger. Not defending her, just putting more onus on him.
I think it's weird that the grandparents would sue her, unless, they had retained custody of the children.
Its a damn shame. Rusty and his children don't deserve this evil shit.
Rusty should have caught on to her and bailed long before. Sorry, no way my wife is going on these trips with some creepy dude, she'll just get a new job cuz that's a little too weird.
@@DosDonts101 100% agree with you, and I wonder if Rusty was on to all of her lying bullshit too, and probably not just about Hemy! Poor bugger.

She didn't cry much about the death of her husband, but she did cry at her own trial. Then there's the bar lady's testimony about all the kissing an groping and the emails... Did she really only hold hand and cry on his shoulder? I don't think so. How did she know her husband was shot?🤔 All seems very sus...
Her knowing he was shot would mean that they planned it. Sickening that she only got 5 years.
@@Flying_Snakes If I heard Mike's narration right, yes, she was sentenced to 5 years, but got out after just 22 months! Man, that's pathetic.

The only thing I don't like about this channel is that there's not a new video every single day... I love Mike's take on the stories he covers.
As much as I agree more would be nice I think the reason the standard is so high is he doesn't 'rush' them out (although 3/4 days could be considered very fast turn around within itself) I wouldnt want to see the standard slip just to get a few more videos a week after all there's many people that do this kind of thing including some doing daily or more frequent videos even and none are as good as Mike!

What did she expect? The prosecutor to not prosecute her?
@@ymirs4400 She was a prosecution witness in the trial against Neuman - you have to make an application to the court to treat a witness you have called as unfavourable and start attacking them so yes it should be a surprise to most if not all witnesses
Police are not your friends, ever.
The nerve of that psychopath Andrea to ask for mercy because of her kids. She sure as heck didn´t think about them and how their lives would be shattered by planning her husband´s murder.
Even worse, gets him killed at his son's kindergarten.
The fact that Andrea knew why her husband was in the hospital before anyone had told her that he was in the hospital proves foreknowledge and thus guilt
And a 5 year sentence for accomplice to murder sounds v lenient. Plus accomplice at least is lenient also
I think it becomes a hearsay factor. No proof other than the one person saying that she said that.
Orrrrrrr a witness has honestly mistranscribed a small detail into a conversation that never actually was spoken via confabulation, unaware of its significance because they have not heard all the other evidence in the trial, and this has led to a wrongful conviction. Happens all the time... The memory of witnesses are notoriously fallible and malleable to all criminal defense practitioners. A witness can be honest but still wrong.
@@laurap3244 point well made, I change my vote to not guilty
And premedìtation
Living in Atlanta during that time, it was obvious that she was involved and got away with being involved in the murder of Rusty. Hemy was her pawn. Very sad for the children.
I humbly disagree... I believe he done this on his own, his attorneys threw her under the bus to save him 🙄..... I don't believe everything she said on stand however majority of her testimony was the truth.... I believe she went to him explaining what happened at her home ( when guy was hiding with gun ( however it took place) on their property), he knew it was him the entire time 🙄. This poor woman lost her husband, then was traumatized by both Prosecution and Defense imo..... None of us know what actually took place, however I believe she is a innocent woman, falsely accused of this Horrendous Murder......
@@diamondleigh7280 I mean there's a very significant amount of circumstancial evidence she was definitely having the affair..from the friend to the bartender and getting single rooms
The affair is 99.9% likely, which definitely doesn't make her innocent in this, but if she wasn't aware of his mental health issues definitely couldn't remotely predict a murderous response like that, and that definitely isn't her fault.
I would just say it isn't just cut and dry like you're making it out to be he haha
The defense definitely was painting her as the villain to try and get a lesser sentence or at least ameliorate his guilt in all this
@@diamondleigh7280 I agree with you. I think she got caught up into some emotional affair but never intended to have her husband murdered. I don't think she would have been able to know the truth and hide it, she doesn't seem that psychotic. The lawyers on Hemmy's side have no other option...ofc they're gonna rope her into it. Ofc they're going to grasp at the only straw they can find. Hemmy didn't have much of a leg to stand on.
Lolll the lawyer saying "DUH!" like it's the best legal argument he can come up with 🤦♀️
Minor detail, but the idea of a “very prestigious preschool” boggles my mind. Like, good job, you learned how to count to blue in an Ivy League environment.
I'm just here to point out how stellar the video equipment always is in interrogation rooms. The visual and audio is always top notch - crisp and clear. It's a good thing because I can't imagine anything more important than clear evidence in serious cases.
**Sarcasm**
seriously. most of the time they sound like adults from Peanuts.
am I showing my age here? 😅
Oh it was so crystal clear wasn't it? 🥴 The audio was so damn bad I thought, well goodie they have captions so no worry there. WRONG!🧐🤔🤯
See you would think we have progressed technologically speaking but I swear a lot of these cases in the 2010s+ somehow look/sound worse than some 1990s interview footage i've seen. It's ridiculous.
I thought the detective was having a stroke due to how choppy the audio was. And you are exactly right. Of all the things to go cheap on, why the AV equipment in the fckn interrogation room. This looks and sounds like 1990s era equipment, and for the price of one handgun they could probably produce at least TH-cam quality video and sound for the court.
So sad that you have to explain to people it’s sarcasm. I get it. It’s gotta be done. But damn 🤦🏻♀️🙄🤬
I'm old school, so I apologize for not knowing how this stuff works. I just wanted to say that I sincerely hope that if it is possible, that Mike does make a living posting these videos. It is very difficult telling/making some of these events (some really horrid ones) even tolerable to listen to. Mike has a rare ability to make one laugh out loud or even smile when we know we really shouldn't be. He does it in a way that means no disrespect to the victims or their families/loved ones. It is a rare gift Mike, and I hope you are fully credited for it. Smiles from Canada 🍁⛄

"They hate ME?! Well what trial were YOU watching?!"
Mike: "Until then, please.." - Like and subscribe? ".. look after yourself" Aww, thanks Mike!
For someone who got her husband murdered by a maniac, she sure doesn't seem apologetic or distraught.
Having said that...just because the guy is delusional doesn't mean he necessarily let's others know what is happening in his head.
She didn't get him murdered unless she had some idea the guy would murder him. Allowing someone to give you gifts and shit is not wanting them to kill your partner. I have an open relationship, does that mean if some suitor kills my partner I caused it? If not, then how does non/consent of one's husband make someone more/less likely to kill yr husband?
@@SpecialBlanket If you have an affair or allow someone to think there is a chance with you and that person kills your partner. IT IS your fault. You may not be criminally liable for it, and in this case I don't think she is as I don't think she asked this guy to kill her husband, but she DID contribute to her husband's death because if it hadn't been for her pussy footing around with this guy, he wouldn't have honed in on her.
HAD he just had an obsession without her doing anything-that's TOTATLLY different and she would NOT be responsible.
@RtauszTZT 8598ZeP It is a trial about her husband's murder and people are implying she spurred this action. Why wouldn't you look distraught? That would be a NORMAL response.

I had to watch that bit twice 😄 Class reply from the prosecutor 👌🏽
I liked the "Duh!" Part
Did I just hear a lawyer shout "D'uh?"
"Your honor, I ignored my lawyers, family and everyone who told me not to take the stand. I didn't prepare for this case by reading any emails or documents. I lied to you, the attorneys and the jury numerous times when on the stand...
...But anyway, please be lenient and trust me now when I tell you I didn't have an affair."
Ugh 🤦🏿♀️🙄 the worst
Everybody uses strategies that worked for them in the past. Even narcissists.
Neuman should have been sentenced to spending the rest of his life with that ugly skank. Worst punishment I can imagine.
I can’t stand seeing these people with beautiful families, lovely children, handsome husbands, big beautiful homes, just throwing it away.
Rusty was a very handsome and successful guy, a good dad, and decent human being. In my mind you have to be completely insane to destroy all that. To traumatize the children FOREVER, to hurt Rusty’s WHOLE FAMILY and just burn your life to the ground, that is so ‘effed’ up!
Didn’t the actual murderer throw that all away tho?
@@dantegood2195 Exactly my point, I would love to have what they threw away.

Honestly, like, do these rich folks just get bored? Is it about the power trip? I don't understand. Even if they had divorced, _she's_ the one making all the money in the household, so she purposefully chose the route where everyone loses everything...for no reason.

They know what's up. It almost always involves a current or past lover. People are animals.
I don't understand why people think it's a good idea to kill anyone they have a relationship with. You're going to be the first suspect, and even Meryl Streep isn't going to act her way out of every interrogation and interaction with the police, media, and the victim's family and friends. They're going to connect you. Even if you beat the nearly impossible odds and manage to evade justice, it will be by the skin of your teeth and will hang over your head forever.

Come on Mike, you've got to give us at least 10 more seconds of your "life insurance dance"!
I need someone on the TH-cams to make a 10 hour extended version.
When your lawyers tell you not to talk or not to take the stand LISTEN TO THEM! That's why you hired them, right? Some people are so arrogant they think they can blatantly lie to a Jury/court room full of people,. Meanwhile, it's beyond obvious they're lying. I'm glad she was fool 🤷🏻♀️
Classic arrogance, but I am SOOOOOO disappointed she practically got away with the murder , plus $2 million! She is a snake
When they advise you not to take the stand, it's because they know you're guilty.
You know the real issue isn't even lying. It's fallibility. People think their own memories are infallible. They think, "I've done nothing wrong." There's an overwhelming misplaced trust that the lawyers won't twist words, or spin the truth, and that the jury will be able to see through emotional manipulation, theatrics, and will just "forget" when a lawyer asserts something without evidence. Most of her testimony involved the defense attorney ramming her for being a cheater. There was no evidence she told Hemy to kill her husband, but because she did one immoral thing, she must be guilty of murder. That's where it falls apart.
@@abegarfield7638 she probably is but there’s a variety of reasons why they would tell their client not to take the stand.
@@abegarfield7638 No, that isn't true. Lawyers don't put anyone on the stand that they don't have to and who hasn't gone through trial prep. Any loose cannon can upend their cases, whether they are guilty or innocent.
It sounds like the prosecution called Andrea to the stand, in this case, but her personal lawyer told her not to, that she wasn't needed to convict Hemmy. Andrea, being a dumbass, thought she was acting on her own behalf, clearing her own name, and never went through trial prep and ignored her lawyer. NEVER ignore your lawyer.
Did anyone else notice the Freudian slip of her saying: when Hemy was murdered? Like damn couldn’t even pretend to feel bad or have any love for your husband
i love it when thet slip up
That wouldn't be classed as a Freudian Slip in any way.
@@elizabethwhite5853 why? she accidentally placed her affair partner's name in place of her actual husband.
@@amberdiaz5847 Because, not everything "misspoken" is considered a "Freudian Slip". Even if you know a "big" word and are eager to use it, doesn't mean it applies everywhere and to everything.
@@MAC0071234 Context is everything. Assuming I think the PHRASE “Freudian slip”-not “word”-is a big one…🤣 You’re comical. In this particular context, it is a slip, being that her subconscious mind was thinking of her affair partner.

"I was shocked when the prosecution began *attacking* me."
I mean... They're _supposed_ to prosecute, interrogate-- they're not "attacking" so much as throwing what you've done back in your face-
Nah... even if the person is innocent...they try and make them appear guilty right?
Facts.
She wasn't the one on trial
the prosecution for HIS trial.
The issue is, if you want to defend yourself (not in a legal representation sense) or you want to defend whoever is on trial then you have to open yourself up to cross examination by both the defence and the prosecution.
You have to be a bit bonkers to ignore the advice of all legal counsel and take the stand because for every decent point or thing you might have to say, the prosecution will shred you six ways to Sunday and anyone that’s ever been in a criminal courtroom trial will know this.
She was crazy to think this was a good idea and the second she made that choice.(From the clips alone of the older gentleman with the Mo and the younger black prosecutor, any sane person (I think, would think “Not an effing chance am I opening that can of worms, I’m not even sure if it’ll be worms that come out of the can, and I’m the one being questioned!”, before she had even opened her mouth, she had talked herself into prison time.
She seems intelligent but her egotism or inflated sense of intellect made her make really just a baffling decision.
She got what she deserved, the killer got fucked over. He needed serious involuntary psychiatric help for a LONG period of time and perhaps never being allowed back into society but he’d been living with undiagnosed bipolar for what, 30 years?
Life in jail seems like an injustice to me, not that I’m in any way advocating for him to be in society ever again.
To me it depends on just how independently the choice was made to bump off the husband.
The real, huge and upsetting injustice is those kids going into foster care which we already know can be pretty dicey and when they’re old enough to know what happened, that’s going to mess them up something shocking.
I hope they make it out.
