  • Was this courtroom used as a tool for justice or for a weapon of vengeance? Find out in Episode 1.2 of Chris Watts: Impossible.

    I'm gonna have to walk back a point of criticism I made in this video. When he said, "We know our experts would tell us...", yes, this definitely isn't the same as saying, "Our experts told us", but he may have phrased it this way out of habit of avoiding hearsay objections. Furthermore, while this isn't an opening statement, it is similar to an opening statement and opening statements often make claims like, "Throughout this trial, this witness will tell us x," and, "Towards the end of this trial we expect that witness will tell us this." So while the criticism I made is certainly legitimate given the immediate context (a sentencing hearing with no expectation of a trial), an understanding of the greater context (where a DA would be accustomed to orating this type of narrative with the expectation of a trial to follow), it is reasonable to suspect this phraseology was made out of habit and not necessarily out of dishonesty or intent to deceive.

    He didn't have time to do it all in-between texts and phone calls plus no steps climbed on his phone. He got sw clothing wrong he also got the children's nightwear wrong. He also said he used cece yanky blanket but the blanket was on the floor in the master bedroom during wellness check. I didn't see cw bring a blanket. He then told tammy he buried the blanket with sw but then said the blanket was still in his truck that day . Then he said the toys and blanket must of blown away. Doesn't sound like a person who was there imo .

    So glad I found your channel! I'm enjoying your balanced, objective, fact based discussion. I keep following this because up until this case I had faith in our justice system. Mistakes may be made but they were mistakes. This is NOT the case here. I am waiting for all the CBI agents to be held accountable for their dishonesty and what I would hope would be illegal misrepresentation.

      He’s making a lot of assumptions. So you think you know better than the DA, law enforcement, judge, and the family? The idea of Shanann killing the children were first implanted in Chris by the CBI agent Tammy. Chris even denied it at first until he was backed into a corner. That’s when he used that to first confess by blaming Shanann. This is common sense!

      There's something strange about the whole case.
      His lawyers weren't very helpful at all.
      With decent representation and a full trial the outcome might have been completely different, if all the facts had come out about what looks like medical abuse to the children and financial abuse of their dad.
      I believe Shanann's family were very aware of this so went for the plea deal situation.
      Is it normal for victims to make those decisions, because when my attackers went to court I was told about their plea deal but I had no choice in the matter.

    😮 Thank you I have a couple of questions…. CW was arrested in Aug and up until his sentencing plea deal in Nov he would have had lawyers.. Why did it take a you tuber to scrutinise that video and find a shadow ? Do you not think that his lawyers and LE would have gone through that video with all of the technology at their disposal ?
    Also at the sentencing family statements read out Frank Sn states to Chris that he had carried the bodies out of the house like trash suggesting that everyone was dead before he loaded the truck… I don’t believe that Frank actually wrote that statement because he reads it as though it is for the first time and it doesn’t flow so who wrote it and where did that information come from if we are to believe that the girls were still alive.

    • @jordanhenshaw
      @jordanhenshaw  2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      His lawyers certainly did a lot of work prior to him signing the plea deal. None of that work had a chance to reach the court or the public because of the plea deal.
      I don’t think Frank Ruscek knows anything more about what happened that morning than anyone else. I’ve always thought that he wrote that speech himself. The forced and dramatic delivery is perfectly normal for someone without public speaking experience in that type of situation.

    • @happybunny8704
      @happybunny8704 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @@jordanhenshaw But why would he state that the bodies were all carried out of the house ? That indicates that the shadow couldn’t have been one of the girls as everyone thinks. Personally I think that Nate’s camera footage has been tampered with it has taken a couple of years to be picked up but everyone is claiming that it is one of the girls or in another film supposedly taken by Nate’s camera …NK. Yet earlier it only picked up NA reversing out of the drive with no footage of SW getting out and walking up to the door. Someone is deliberately hiding something ..and we are all over analysing minor details missing something important.

    Meant Chris Watts and his family were close! I think the whole problem started when Chris spent his $12,000 life savings to buy her an engagement and wedding ring set and Cindy said couldn't you have bought something a little bit cheaper but that's what Shannon wanted and I do understand why Cindy Watts was upset that was his life savings and he was 25 years old had a great job a wonderful father who was his best friend I would never in my life tell my children don't talk to your dad how selfish was that of her she alienated him absolutely on purpose such a selfish and human being they didn't even do anything wrong he missed his father but I think due to the fact that I do believe he has Asperger's he didn't understand he did what she said he loved her and he was afraid of losing her but it was doomed from the start and Cindy just tried to protect him because she had a funny feeling something was wrong! I love my daughter-in-law to the ends of the Earth she changed my son's life around gave me two beautiful grandkids they live about 2 hours away from me I visit like every 2 months and I'm so thankful for her they've been together for 11 years and they still hold hands and I'm amazed I would never ever not get along with her!

There is no way in hell that she would have been able to deal with custody arrangement or anything so like she said if he couldn't deal with that she would just remove them from their life and that's exactly what she said on that text message that's why I believe she did kill those girls to remove them from the grandparents life and he lost it flipped out and that was the end of it I have a grandson who is in the autism spectrum I do not believe that Chris Botts was on the autism spectrum he might have had Asperger's and my grandson is the calmest he's seven the calmest kid ever in the whole wide world but I do believe that Chris did have an issue but he was a good man a great dad it was a great husband until he couldn't take it anymore I do believe she was abusive she I don't know what happened to her and her life and what was wrong with her but something was severely wrong and I wish that her mother and father would acknowledge that because they know that there was something wrong with her she said that Chris's parents the Watts made her life miserable for 8 years you know Ronnie and Cindy are great people stable gave the kids everything up in the Spring lake many times cuz my daughter her husband was stationed in Fayetteville I do really believe that she was too much and they could not handle her and she did separate them and alienate him from them it's a God damn shame truthfully and if her parents would admit to the fact that no she was not perfect she had problems she had issues she was not a saint and don't make her out to be that way I believe Cindy watch tried her hardest and I believe Ronnie Watts was a wonderful man he really is they raise a good person a good son and she screwed up Shannon screwed up his mind

    Hello Jordan
    About the strangulation issue, a certain method of a choke hold will knock a person out in seconds, it's common knowledge to the point where irresponsible people volunteer with like minded friends to experience what it's like to be knocked out this way , then wake up.
    So Shanann could have been unconscious very fast, then as he continued the pressure finally her life would be over.
    He's a big strong man large biceps, she being much smaller so his arm could easily kill her fast.
    I'm so interested to see your videos about this case.

    went down there without breaking bones, (not in the autopsy). Bella was almost 5 years old and a child's head is 20.50 inches at that age. CW says he suffocated the children with a blanket but in his interview in jail he says
    he strangled them ,so wich is it ! .Strange he could be convicted of murder twice , thought you could only kill someone once.

      Fury.
      He wanted a divorce, and Shanann was so domineering that she wasn't going to let him walk away possibly with the children.
      Her history of what looks to me like medical abuse might have come up if he got a decent lawyer.
      The façade of their "great" lifestyle was about to collapse into a second bankruptcy.
      Everything was about to hit the fan.
      He would walk away still with his job, but she would be shunned by the MLM for failing (look up people who've gone bankrupt through MLM activity and how all their MLM best friends ostracised them, it's how it works, and Shannon knew that), and her whole persona would be crushed.

In this case, things don’t add up to the point that the detectives flew out to interview him post conviction. They messed up big time. Some of the points presented here are very interesting to consider, even if I’m not completely ready to buy into this theory. I do agree that SW was abusive in more ways than one. And if genders were reversed, we would all believe that HE killed the kids, she killed him in revenge, and hail her a hero. She would be out with probation and time served, bcs it would look bad if they let her off scot free.

So the judging v perceiving, those 4 dichotomies, they don’t seem useful. I mean introversion v extraversion is the only useful one, obv. I don’t think you’re either outwardly organized or inwardly organized. It varies over the course of years far too much.

      @flowerjpotter1629 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      True, he did tell them where to find the bodies.
      I think he tried to hide them because he was effectively trained to hide Shanann's mistakes throughout all the years of their marriage.
      He was afraid of her even though he was bigger and stronger, emotionally he was tiny.
      After 6 weeks of wild freedom he had the courage to ask for a divorce.....then came that awful night and I believe Shannan did the unthinkable out of fury and last act to prove her dominance, also because they were about to go bankrupt again and her whole persona was going to be ripped apart. The MLM crowd famously dump anyone who goes under.
      I believe she took the children's lives and that's when he snapped and attacked her.
      He wanted to hide what she had done to the children forever, but was clumsy with her burial leaving bedding near the grave, because he wasn't covering up her mistake there. He had a different standard for hiding his own mistakes.
      Plus he said he didn't want her near the children, which makes me think she did something terrible to them.
