I'm just waiting for it. Our world is in sad chaos. I know where I'm going when all is said and done. I feel sorry for those who simply don't know God.
This is why I love southern folk. They implement their life experiences into formal settings because they recognize the validity of human experience and comfort
Only Southern folk do that? lol. Dude, I don't think that's strictly a Southern thing but I do concur, this is a great tactic to break the tension in the room. I've also found that farting really really loud in a dead silent courtroom has the same effect. Always a great icebreaker!!
f you that southern folk... People from all walks of life live, love, care, compassion, wholesome! peace...my gut feeling you are narrow mind. But in my heart there is nothing you.
It's evil to kill anyone but it's even more disgusting when it's the parent of a young child. My heart breaks for Drake. I'm sure his step-mother is wonderful but it's just not the same when your mom has been murdered. I hope Ashley is having a really hard time in prison. Btw, it doesn't matter how much training one has in physical combat when someone you trust sneaks up behind you and shoots you in the back of the head like a coward!

This judge: annoying AF. Unprofessional and narcissistic. If I was an INNOCENT person on trial for my life, I would be raging on the inside about her "personal 'possum stories" and ridiculous commentary. Massively unprofessional.
@LawandCrimeNetwork As a huge fan of the channel, I'm really not trying to be petty but (even if just out of respect to Taylor & Jeff) please correct the title. He is the VICTIM'S ex husband. NOT the defendants. Thanks guys!!! ❤
All the wonderful comments on our judges here in the South! Didn’t notice her demeanor til I started reading the comments. Yep, we’re like that down here. Kind and personable but smart and on the ball.
I was a little baffled by the defence's questioning of the ex-husband... having told him that it was a Saturday on the states evidence number two, the attorney seemed to give up... did he think that the ex was going to be negative towards his ex-wife and then realise that maybe he didn't make a good defence witness. The defence guy reminds me of the other defence attorney in My Cousin Vinny
Taylor's theft and greed started a chain of events that ended in her murder. Ashley can look up from her note taking during this testimony because it paints her victim with an ugly color Ashley deserves to spend everyday of her life in prison
What a FANTASTIC judge! Kind, relaxed, entertaining AND an animal lover is s big plus in my book. Kinda enjoyed the "agent speak" of the victim's ex-husband......"affirm" and the way he says his dates with the day before the month. That's government! Great videos!
@@patrickmba7638 That's what all criminal clients or defendants do. Especially the ones that are guilty. Wow such a shock they couldn't hide all the evidence to cover up their crime. It's normal and this is how they get caught. Murder is very difficult to get away with due forensic science
No, by then the money was already gone. She stole and spent first on her little sugar baby boyfriend that she was having an affair with and then panicked when tayler started to blow her up so she popped up on her in person a couple days later and led tayler away to her death by leading her to believe they were going straight to the bank. She immediately blew thru the money as soon as it was deposited, like it was hers.
Taylor was going through some difficult life struggles and also made some bad choices along the way. Ashley preyed on her friends weakness and took advantage of Taylor’s struggles to better her own life. What a Judas Ashley is! This is why many women can’t have healthy relationships with other women, we can’t trust your intentions.
That is so true, I have 0 real friends because I don’t trust anyone! You can’t. I am a very nice person and a lot of times I am too nice and I have had supposed friends take advantage of that.
There's no evidence that Taylor was trying to better her life. She abandoned her only child and was not doing anything to change that. She STILL hadn't paid a nickel of child support. She was cheating on her newest clam like she cheated on her husband, she was becoming a cocaine hound. She only considered returning SOME of the money she stole to avoid jail. Just because Ashley was a reptile doesn't mean that Taylor wasn't a selfish "c-word".
Yeah but I don’t no if u no that Taylor wasn’t a drug addict until Ashley was feeding to her in her meal and she became a drug addiction to my understanding from one of Ashley
DANG L&C get it right. Jeff Wright is not the defendant's ex-husband, he's the VICTIM'S ex-husband. Looks like it's gonna be an interesting trial. I like the judge.
Doesn’t it say Victims Ex-Husband? Am I missing something or did they edit the title. I’m seeing a lot of these comments, but it clearly says Ashley McArthur Trial day 1-Victims Ex-Husband
It's not victim blaming to say, if Taylor wasn't greedy and hiding money from her husband, this never would've happened. This wasn't just a case of a woman, trusting her friend to put money into her savings, this was a woman that was effectively stealing money and trusted a killer to hold onto the money.
Sentenced to 25 years in jail with no parole, this was the biggest mistake of her young life, it’s 2019, she’ll be out in 2044 when I might be dead, I’m 63, or I might be 88?at the time, unsure how she will adjust to her new life, I couldn’t do her time. Jack Sugden, London UK 🇬🇧.

Florida woman Ashley Britt McArthur, 42, stands trial in Pensacola, Florida for first-degree murder in the death of private investigator Taylor Wright, 33. If convicted, she is expected to get an automatic life sentence without parole. You can watch court in the player above. The defendant was sentenced in February to seven years in prison for cheating clients of her family’s business. That was unrelated to the murder allegation, but they do have something in common besides the defendant: money. Wright was in the middle of a divorce and is said to have put $34,000 in McArthur’s safe deposit box, according to court records obtained by Law&Crime. She tried to get that cash back to no avail, authorities said. Investigators claim that she met up with McArthur on September 8, 2017, to retrieve it. That was the last anyone heard from her. Authorities say the victim’s girlfriend reported her missing the following 14th. She told cops that she and Wright had been texting back and forth until about 11:20 a.m. on the 8th. Wright stopped replying. The girlfriend called McArthur, who said that Wright couldn’t come to the phone because she was riding a horse, according to the probable cause statement. Then, at 7:58 p.m., the girlfriend got a text from Wright’s phone. The text said she needed time to think and get life on track, according to authorities. The defendant spoke with detectives on the 18th. She claimed to have driven Wright around on the morning of the 8th until the victim asked to ride horses on a property belonging to McArthur’s family. In this story, they were there for an hour and headed back to McArthur’s home. According to the statement, she said she went inside her residence, but Wright was gone when she stepped out again later. Investigators claim this story didn’t stand up to scrutiny. The defendant’s phone records didn’t place her at the area she claimed to be. It showed her by a property her family owned in another area, authorities said. Investigators said they checked it out and found Wright’s secret grave just west of that property. She had been covered in concrete, they said. According to officials, McArthur’s cousin said she had contacted him on September 8, and asked if he was going to be there that day. He said that he wasn’t there because he was at a funeral. The defendant’s bank records allegedly showed that she deposited $34,000 in her bank account the month before. It was a cashier’s check in Wright’s name. The funds had been spent, investigators said.
Any lawyers out there? What kind of stuff would the defense attorneys be discussing with Ashley during this? What do you think she’s writing on that notepad?
I think it's an act pretending to write counter arguments to witnesses' statements that are non favourable to her case. It's also a distraction technique for herself because she lacks the balls to face people. She isn't writing anything worth reading, all an act 🙄
This judge seems to be a good judge in terms of making sure the needs of ppl are met and has good control over the situation, but also is extremely unprofessional at times. I’ve seen a lot of footage and also the reading of the jury verdict. She chatters WAY too much with her down home personal quips and inappropriate small talk. And it’s all overly winded blather. You can tell this is a job she’s been in for a long time but you can tell she’s not too good with social awareness. She seems to lack the appropriate tone for any given moment. Very awkward to watch her work. Some Judges become so removed from the sensibilities of most others because they get this huge dose of ultimate authority every day. Very bizarre to watch her go off on these tangents and treat ppl strangely.
Ashley showed no emotion upon her verdict, She is a cold hearted lady ( which is really too nice a term for her), I hope she rots it jail, The judge on this case is really lovely!
This judge appreciates the jury that has taken out time of their own lives for somebody that was irresponsible; selfish and had to take somebody else’s life For their own satisfaction.

Chickens , possums, dogs 😂 to funny! But she seems cool!

Florida woman Ashley Britt McArthur, 42, stands trial in Pensacola, Florida for first-degree murder in the death of private investigator Taylor Wright, 33. If convicted, she is expected to get an automatic life sentence without parole. You can watch court in the player above.
The defendant was sentenced in February to seven years in prison for cheating clients of her family’s business. That was unrelated to the murder allegation, but they do have something in common besides the defendant: money. Wright was in the middle of a divorce and is said to have put $34,000 in McArthur’s safe deposit box, according to court records obtained by Law&Crime. She tried to get that cash back to no avail, authorities said. Investigators claim that she met up with McArthur on September 8, 2017, to retrieve it. That was the last anyone heard from her.
Authorities say the victim’s girlfriend reported her missing the following 14th. She told cops that she and Wright had been texting back and forth until about 11:20 a.m. on the 8th. Wright stopped replying. The girlfriend called McArthur, who said that Wright couldn’t come to the phone because she was riding a horse, according to the probable cause statement. Then, at 7:58 p.m., the girlfriend got a text from Wright’s phone. The text said she needed time to think and get life on track, according to authorities.
The defendant spoke with detectives on the 18th. She claimed to have driven Wright around on the morning of the 8th until the victim asked to ride horses on a property belonging to McArthur’s family. In this story, they were there for an hour and headed back to McArthur’s home. According to the statement, she said she went inside her residence, but Wright was gone when she stepped out again later.
Investigators claim this story didn’t stand up to scrutiny. The defendant’s phone records didn’t place her at the area she claimed to be. It showed her by a property her family owned in another area, authorities said. Investigators said they checked it out and found Wright’s secret grave just west of that property. She had been covered in concrete, they said.
According to officials, McArthur’s cousin said she had contacted him on September 8, and asked if he was going to be there that day. He said that he wasn’t there because he was at a funeral.
The defendant’s bank records allegedly showed that she deposited $34,000 in her bank account the month before. It was a cashier’s check in Wright’s name. The funds had been spent, investigators said.
Prosecutor is gorgeous isnt she yall?
Any lawyers out there? What kind of stuff would the defense attorneys be discussing with Ashley during this? What do you think she’s writing on that notepad?
I was wondering the same thing.
They all write just to look smart
I think it's an act pretending to write counter arguments to witnesses' statements that are non favourable to her case. It's also a distraction technique for herself because she lacks the balls to face people. She isn't writing anything worth reading, all an act 🙄
wish there was more info on this case
They have the whole trial
This judge seems to be a good judge in terms of making sure the needs of ppl are met and has good control over the situation, but also is extremely unprofessional at times. I’ve seen a lot of footage and also the reading of the jury verdict. She chatters WAY too much with her down home personal quips and inappropriate small talk. And it’s all overly winded blather. You can tell this is a job she’s been in for a long time but you can tell she’s not too good with social awareness. She seems to lack the appropriate tone for any given moment. Very awkward to watch her work. Some Judges become so removed from the sensibilities of most others because they get this huge dose of ultimate authority every day. Very bizarre to watch her go off on these tangents and treat ppl strangely.
Ashley showed no emotion upon her verdict, She is a cold hearted lady ( which is really too nice a term for her), I hope she rots it jail, The judge on this case is really lovely!
Judge called the jurors "my little chickens!" 🤣🤣🤣
This judge is so nice, calm and a professional, god bless you.
Of course they Will discuss the case with their spouces! Its just normal
I'm so sorry for the loss of her son and I'll say 🙏🙏 prays for the family .Keep God 🙏🙏 in your 💜 ihearts and keep the famith too.
This judge appreciates the jury that has taken out time of their own lives for somebody that was irresponsible; selfish and had to take somebody else’s life For their own satisfaction.
Taylor, I'm sorry you were killed, I hope any money you had goes to your son. I'm so sorry jeff wright for your loss of your son's mother
