@@Phor0phor How can they punish her for murder? She has a defensive knife cut in her hand and Alex has no deep stab wound?? He died from cutting an arterie in his arm!! She was attacked by a weardo into canibalism and defended herself.
So a dude uses knife to cut your clothes off.. rapes you… you stab him… he gets out car bleeding… you get out car (without your glasses) , and he yells for you to HELP HIM, you walk towards him to help him but he grabs you again still trying to rape you while he’s dying?? So you stab him again, take his phone, cut some word into your arm with the same knife??! I mean this sounds sus AF!!!!
Also, why was he asking for help to "go to the bathroom"? She stabbed him in the head and in various other areas, then he's like, "I gotta take a big ol' dump." What????
To make it worse she actually did stab him through his scrotal area and into his bladder so the bathroom thing is really bizarre. She wasnt “helping” anything.
Sounds sus AF because it doesn't make sense - this is just badly written story of a narcissist who thinks she is smarter then everybody els. The story is ludicrous.
Exactly my thoughts! The glasses, the floral print, the soft curls. It all says, “Look at me-I’m such a sweet, naive beautiful girl. I couldn’t be a killer-because I’m the sort of lady who wears a cardigan!”
She had to "lie down in the car" because she had anxiety from her car getting stuck in the mud but was cool as a cucumber on the stand for murder..... 😒
Exactly my thoughts as well. I see no anxiety in her what so ever on that stand. In fact, she seems to like it, and the way she almost smilingly turns to the jury every time she answers a question. She's a snake.
I Feel for Her with Respect to Her Anxiety. It Can Come on All at Once and for No Reason. What I Find is that She Absolutely Knew the difference Between Right and Wrong. She KNOWS what She did But doesn't want Her Life to Be effectively Over. So Sad. There are No Winners Here.
@SocialExperiment232 Maybe We Could go together. Make us 2 Visits for 1 inmate. There is NOTHING as Stupid as a Chesshead. Nothing!! A d I Can Smell You from Delavan.
Yes, and she makes sure to turn towards the jury with an "innocent face" every time she answer any question. Also if having such a high level of anxiety from a car being stucked, how come she can sit in a court room, almost smiling, when accused of murder..I see no anxiety what so ever.
Her attorney gave her very terrible advice, to tell this story the way she did. There's literally no hesitation as she tells the story and definitely NO TRAUMA on her part. She took him there to kill him. I'm so glad she'll be 80 y.o. before they consider letting her out. She's the most dangerous type of snake....pretty but deadly!
She must have caught him off guard cuz I can't see myself dying to a woman this size even if she has a knife and I am unarmed I still am very confident I would be able to disable her or worse
She has never experienced anything like it. Just like Amber Heard. She too couldn't describe a situation which made any sense, because she was trying to imagine what it would be like, rather than speaking from memory.
Re: Car stuck in mud part of testimony. Ezra “I was hoping there was a brick in my car, anything to get traction with.” Yeah cause it’s common for cars to have a brick lying around inside. 😂
This girl is fundamentally wicked. She feels nothing for anyone but herself. She is incapable of hiding the delight she feels as the star witness in her own trial. It’s abundantly clear she believes she’s shining on that stand and will never consider the fact that she’s performing for a captive audience. How can someone possibly be so intoxicated and swept up in the glow of the spotlight to the point that they’re completely unaware that they are a defendant in a trial with the most bleak future awaiting them? She has no fear or awareness of consequences.
She is the poster child of our culture today, "all about me & I could care less about anyone else around me". She's using pronouns excuse, cutting excuse. This behavior apparently has been going on since she was a teenager. Murder is murder, hopefully they can prove this was premeditated.
@@mistiblu246yup. This is the average teenager now. Manipulating and controlling people around them using “mental health” and hiding behind “oppression” from pronouns or having to get jobs and actually be sxually responsible and not run through all your partners friends is too much to ask of them. I just don’t get it. Why do people think this is better than a society built on morals that fit the greater good. Not every single individuals every little idiosyncrasy.
There is NO way, that someone who's been through (allegedly) an extremely traumatic experience, would be able to recount the events on a blow-by-blow basis like this. It would just be a blur.
I think any woman who has had a man on top of her knows kneeing him in the groin is not an option. It’s just not physically possible to get the force and have enough space between bodies to make contact. You wind up weakly bringing your knee up to the air. The only way you could knee him is if he is suspending himself in the air three feet above you (or if you are the one on top of him). PS: When you are lying down, you can’t “pull back” from a kiss. Your head is already against something. It’s as though she hasn’t ever been in a situation similar to this-it’s all imagination, zero lived experience.
Super cringe and super fake storytelling in my personal opinion! Firstly, makes no sense a man would not help when it comes to car trouble...And secondly, if she was afraid for her life from being stabbed to death, why walk straight into the "killers" arms again? It's so difficult for me to continue to watch such blatant lies!
She is absolutely so completely comfortable being in this courtroom situation. She is guilty AF. An innocent person would show emotion knowing the gravity of this situation. She doesn’t seem like she’s fighting for her life. More like she’s being interviewed on a talk show.
When one recalls trauma that really happened one can't help but be dragged into the emotions of the situation, often as if it is happening in the present, and that can leave one very emotional, either frozen and numb or close to tears.
Yeeaaaah riiiight.... when someone that tries to kill you asks for help to go to the bathroom, the first thought that comes to your mind is to help him. Riiiigggghhhttt...
Especially to go to the bathroom 🤣🤣🤣 what a dumazz. She could have said “he started pleading for his life and crying that he didn’t wanna die and to please go help him. He said he was sorry and to please not let him die so I went to go help him” and it would have maybe made a little sense. But to act like he was just trying to r word her the whole time as if he is just aching for her 🐈 even after he’s been stabbed in the head but he didn’t try to hurt her in any other way is so stupid.
I mean regardless of the trial or crime wouldn't the individual rehearse their testimony? And I understand if you're telling the truth you could just say it. But even with the truth you gotta be really careful, every single thing is going under a microscope the instant it leaves your mouth. The brass tacks though? Her attorney is grade A proper shite, terrible at her job. Ezra should have never under any circumstance taken the stand. A good attorney would have told her to look really sad, cry as much as possible, especially when the prosecution shows crime scene photos, don't talk! Called oh I dunno, more than 1 witness. She could have tried to sound confident, and professional, it's sad. Lastly she could have made some effort to get Ezra to fix her story, because there is no doubt she was guilty. She needed a lawyer that could sell ice to an Eskimo and create reasonable doubt.
That’s a tell. It’s her trying to be agreeable and come across honest and open And she doesn’t realize it’s making her seem more like she’s making it up
So, they're still in the car and she starts stabbing him and his reaction is to stay in the car while being stabbed and attempt to get closer to her to strangle her instead of getting away?
36:47 - "I got out of the tru- car" - I think this was a slip on Ezra's part. If you look at the crime scene the car got stuck next to a green flat bed truck which was open on the top. I've long thought through what actually happened that fateful day to Alex because the crime scene makes very little sense. Ezra's recollection is clearly fabricated as to frame Alex as the instigator. I think what happened is that she lured him out there and possibly suggested them having s*x one last time, and as he was in love with her I doubt he would have refused. Her mentioning him needing to pee is so out of left field I can't help but feel there is some truth to it - that this was something he actually said during this sequence of events, however not after being stabbed 15 times. I think they attempted to have s*x in the back of Ezra's car - explaining the muddy footprint on the ceiling of the car, but a lack of space meant it was uncomfortable, but there was another suitable hidden spot - the green truck. If you look at the crime scene photo you can see there is some equipment in it, but its pushed to the front of the truck, making space behind it, more than enough space for two bodies. Needing to pee becomes an issue for males before they have s*x - and so this is why I think this was said and hence why Ezra has said it, but changed the context of it to avoid mentioning their attempted (or successful) s*xual encounter prior to his murder (seeing as her ultimate intention for murdering Alex was to get Jason Mengel back). It would explain why there was no blood on his trousers, or underwear, why he removed his coat despite the snow outside, why Ezra removed her flannel, trousers and shoes - because the only marks on her jeans were dirt and the superficial tears she ripped into them. She was found wearing only her socks, leaving her shoes behind. I couldn't find whether Alex was missing his shoes also, but it would make sense if he wasn't wearing shoes either as to take your trousers off you need to remove your shoes (but not necessarily socks!) The majority of the blood was found next to the green truck, which would be where they would have climbed out. As Ezra had almost no blood on her, she clearly took him by surprise and attacked him from behind, stabbing him first in the head. Personally I think this knocked him over as he wasn't expecting the blow, hitting the floor. I believe he was unconscious from the head blow, so she turned him over, likely to assess whether the initial blow had killed him. Seeing he was still alive, she then rained blows with the knife while he was on the floor, explaining the lack of his blood on her, including slashing his neck. His lack of defensive wounds suggests that he was unconscious while the rest of the attack occurred. She then gathered her things, stole his phone from her car and fled the scene, leaving Alex for dead. The carving of the word "boy" into her arm may have happened here or it may have happened while she was moving away from the scene. Alex regained consciousness at some point afterwards and attempted to re-enter the car, likely to retrieve his phone to call for help, only to find it missing. He then died hanging out of the car from blood loss. This is what I suspect is the true course of events. Poor Alex, he didn't deserve to be murdered by this egotistical maniac.
I agree. I also thought that they were going to have sx Maybe she said she’d get on top.. And I also agree that there are elements of truth in her story which makes it somewhat believable but it’s not believable because she’s lying. So there is cognitive dissonance. She probably straddled HIM.
Did she understand that she doesn't have to testify or even speak? What sort of defense attorney would put this lying menace on the stand?? Unfathomable. - j q t -
I guess these narcissistic types think they are outsmarting everyone with their acting and their bullshit. She probably thought this was a great idea and would get everyone on her side…. 🤷🏻♀️
Definitely sounds like a freestyle!! I seen like a “body language expert” or somebody say that’s how you know somebody is making up the story as they go.
Cause she's basically a moron who got coached like hell beforehand and simply lets you know that unwittingly by reciting her very well learned lesson at school while the teacher interrogates her.
Wow she could really keep herself busy while she’s incarcerated writing cheap paper backs with her ability to make up these stories. I can’t see one bit of remorse for what she’s done.
She is so unwell. 100% responsible, but not normal. She’s a monster. They don’t all look scary, but you can tell there is no sense of morality or feeling, remorse…she’s not human like you or I.
She started texting him AFTER telling him not to contact her again! I'd say it was pre-meditated and she brought a knife, for God's sake.. Duh.. it was easy for the jury to find this evil narcissist guilty! 😢 RIP Alex 😢💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭
Ezra’s main concern was Ezra’s well being and her anxiety. She has to be the most bizarre person I’ve ever seen. You know when she’s lying is when she’s talking. She was concerned about not using her tent to give her car traction but stabbing a person to death was her result of having freedom to be with the love of her life. It’s too bad Jason didn’t pursue his uneasiness about the way Ezra’s was acting. Listening to her testimony about what happened it’s hard to believe she hadn’t been diagnosed with Some kind of mental disorder.
I can't stand listening to her. It's like she's memorized parts of a thriller novel in describing her "attack". Sorry, I don't believe her imaginary story.
So she brought a knife with her? She was sitting on the center console with her back to the driver's side, but then suddenly was pressed against the back of the driver's seat? He got out of the car, then layed down on his coat, then got back in the car, only to end up hanging out of the car dead? If he got out of the car and was standing by the trailer, why the HELL would she go to him? Why wouldn't she run her ass off to get away? Why the hell did she cut the word BOY in her arm, that's so bizarre? None of this makes any sense. You can tell her attorney is beyond annoyed with her testimony and hates having to do this.
I thought her and her attorney were both annoying. I couldn't get through it because it wasn't making sense. I'm here reading the comments as cliff notes. It seems no one else could follow the nonsense either.
You should watch the whole trial on @rottweilerinvestigations The attorney is not well spoken, is not clear, is not prepared. She’s the opposite… too busy concentrating on leading and coaching
This never happened. Lol. What actually happened was she st@bbed him 16 times and he tragically died right there where he laid. Damn near every word of this testimony is absolute deception.
Being stabbed multiple times and Alex saying: "I've been waiting for this so long". Mmmm, Ezra doesn't have her facts in order. Chronologically. At 39 minutes in her story....
Why does she look like she wants to smile? Very kind of removed from it all. She seems to put herself in sexual situations and is very accepting, almost welcoming the outcome. Odd behavior.
After Ezra’s car got stuck, her story about how to deal with it was so bizarre. She didn’t want to call a tow truck because of the cost. Most of us have been stuck whether in mud or snow usually one pushes and the other is behind the wheel. Usually the stronger one starts to push. If the tent would have helped I would had used it. It probably was bs like the rest of her story. She didn’t want to wreck her tent, she didn’t want to pay a tow truck so what just leave the car there? The anxiety excuse was weird. I get panic attacks but I still can try to solve a problem. If anyone should had been anxious it should had been Alex. The part where she’s been told how she’s beautiful, a shining sun and handsome. What a nutcase.
What confuses me is after she managed to get away from him why did she go back to him.? She said because he asked for help. That bit dosnt ring true for me.
That must be the sharpest knife in the history of knifes. I mean cutting through fabric which is on a person and who didn't notice until the sweater is cut completly open? You must pull the fabric so tight to cut it that I can't imagine she just noticed it once the sweater came loose...
I can’t see anything without my glasses but then I could see he cut my sweater off 😂 🤦🏽♀️ I could see everything else but couldn’t see without my glasses. I could also see the knife he was using even though it wasn’t within inches of my face, but again, I can’t see without my glasses
@@hannam4014 yeah it was so crazy that it was almost comical. No body who’s just been stabbed/attacked has ever had to suddenly pee esp since the man was also stabbed in his genitals! Also when the police found the car, wasn’t the man hanging half out of the car? I could’ve sworn I heard that somewhere yet she stated he laid down on his jacket on the ground. I also can’t fathom anyone who’s just been stabbed like this thinking “oh let me put my jacket down first to lay on so I don’t get dirty” 🤦🏽♀️
@@sheslikethewind8999 Her story was insane! She is insane! I think Ezra was trying to get away and couldn't get Alex out of the car so she ran. Her art is also horrible and she needs to just stop trying to be in the limelight.
Right now she’s testifying. The defense asks questions to lead her. On cross the prosecution gets to ask questions that would prove inconsistencies. Usually the defense gets a rebuttal and then onto the next witness.
So... You get assaulted, or almost, and you get stabbed, and you're terrified, and you want to get the f away... You then are outside the car helping the dude who just did that to you to take a piss?! And zero emotion while telling all this? At all? Something feels way off. I've watched too much of @TheBehaviorPanel
Love that show.... she's having a " silble " incident. She told Jason she was attacked but didn't go to police then she goes places with him. Jason wondering she cheating. Cuts herself....called herself by different names.. why that name did any one ask who is that person... someone she knew ? A real person a made person ?!?!?
As per her narrative Alex is portrayed like lifeless doll or soft toy.......he is not screaming after being stabbed...he is not walking away from girl who is stabbing him...he is asking her help ........plus thanking her for killing. him violently as if he had no better options.........its a badly written script by ezra........this is unforgivable sin.
Still as strange as the first time I watched the live trial in 2019. If what she says about her back story is true, it’s sad, yet she still presents as unbelievable and unreliable.
@@Denise_Suzanne life, with the possibility of parole after serving a mandatory minimum of 50 years. So she has to serve 50 years before applying for parole.
Why does she keep smiling and smirking the entire time? Can she not hold it in? Especially when her ex took the stand in the other video I watched. She was smiling the whole time at him. I find that sociopathic behavior is what she displays here.
Such a blatant liar, sooooo bad. When someone is "frozen" as she said, they are NOT limp!!! You are actually quite stiff when u freeze up because of panic or fear. She's never froze up a day in her pathetic life!!
I think she is just full of crap. He didn't flinch when she was stabbing him. He didn't try to save himself? Human instinct is to save yourself. He has been stabbed and yet he is trying to pull her closer still. Come on.
All the pictures I’ve seen of Ezra her look changes from picture to picture. She’s very bizarre. I feel sorry for Alex’s family. I can never understand how someone can murder another person. She is eerily similar to Jodie Arias. They both didn’t seem they had any remorse and they both lie so easily and they would speak in the third person.
@40:20 - 40:26 she is asked if she had any problems seeing without her glasses up to that point. She shakes her head no but says yes. Incongruent behavior.
OMG! I looked up who Ezra’s mother is! She tried several times (before succeeding in 2014) to murxxx her two youngest sons! She hurt them badly, broken pelvis from running them over with her car, and worse! WHY was she allowed to keep the kids after that, to severely injure them multiple times? Her name is Laurel Michelle Schlemmer. There’s an article titled “Prosecutors: McCandless woman tried to kill sons before succeeding in 2014”.
That's not her mother. Laurel Schlemmer Lived In McCandles, had 3 boys, no daughters, and drowned 2 of her sons during a psychotic breakdown. Her home was in McCandles, it wasn't her name.
Ezra talks about her anxiety from being stuck in the mud, no mention about her anxiety when stabbing Alex and all the blood.The only injury was when she carved the word boy in her arm.
I’m sorry. She’s cute and all that. But when she said this guy who attacked her got out the car after she stabbed him to get him off her. Then she stands around and waits for him to say something. He says he needs help going to the bathroom. So she goes and helps him for him to grab her and it starts all over again. I’m like guilty. If a woman is attacked and is about to be rapped. Once she gets free she’s running until she finds help. She went to him because he said he needed help going to the bathroom. And she just wanted to help him because she likes helping people. WTF. That’s the best she could come up with. She’s crazy.
I haven’t followed this case previously, but know confused as checking episodes she was sentenced a year ago. What has happened that the case is now in court again, please
She asked for a new trial last December claiming the jury never heard "the whole story". The judge announced that there will be no new trial, as "it would be a monumental waste of resources" and that the evidence of her guilt was "overwhelming".
Why does she repeat questions that the defense asks her before every answer? It is a stalling technique so she can think of the right answer?? So she doesnt make any mistakes?? Similar to Amber Heard eating food when she was being asked questions by Johnny Depps lawyer?? Im curious of others thoughts on this??

She is absolutely so completely comfortable being in this courtroom situation. She is guilty AF. An innocent person would show emotion knowing the gravity of this situation. She doesn’t seem like she’s fighting for her life. More like she’s being interviewed on a talk show.
When one recalls trauma that really happened one can't help but be dragged into the emotions of the situation, often as if it is happening in the present, and that can leave one very emotional, either frozen and numb or close to tears.
Yeeaaaah riiiight.... when someone that tries to kill you asks for help to go to the bathroom, the first thought that comes to your mind is to help him. Riiiigggghhhttt...
Especially to go to the bathroom 🤣🤣🤣 what a dumazz. She could have said “he started pleading for his life and crying that he didn’t wanna die and to please go help him. He said he was sorry and to please not let him die so I went to go help him” and it would have maybe made a little sense. But to act like he was just trying to r word her the whole time as if he is just aching for her 🐈 even after he’s been stabbed in the head but he didn’t try to hurt her in any other way is so stupid.
She sounds SO REHEARSED
it is. She knew exactly what questions were going to be asked
Exactly my thoughts.
I mean regardless of the trial or crime wouldn't the individual rehearse their testimony? And I understand if you're telling the truth you could just say it. But even with the truth you gotta be really careful, every single thing is going under a microscope the instant it leaves your mouth. The brass tacks though? Her attorney is grade A proper shite, terrible at her job. Ezra should have never under any circumstance taken the stand. A good attorney would have told her to look really sad, cry as much as possible, especially when the prosecution shows crime scene photos, don't talk! Called oh I dunno, more than 1 witness. She could have tried to sound confident, and professional, it's sad. Lastly she could have made some effort to get Ezra to fix her story, because there is no doubt she was guilty. She needed a lawyer that could sell ice to an Eskimo and create reasonable doubt.
Stick to the script
I feel like I'm watching a cheap movie made by a bad actor.
Lifetime Movie Network
It’s the “fell down twice on a dirt road”, very Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
U crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He told her ur handsome 😂😂😂😂
look how many dudes fell for her shtick . I don't see the attraction at all. She is very homely underneath all that fakeness.
I’m sure Alex would had done something to get the car out. This story is so ridiculous. I feel sorry for Alex’s family to listen to this BS.
100% he would’ve called the tow truck and paid for it! She’s an idiot
The way she answers questions is very bizarre
Yes, not nervous one bit.
Everything and everyone involved in this case is weird as sh*t
How TF is her lawyer not disbarred for witness coaching? In addition to sounding like junior high fanfic, this entire testimony was leading as hell.
Why does she say “yes” almost every time during the questioning?
That’s a tell. It’s her trying to be agreeable and come across honest and open And she doesn’t realize it’s making her seem more like she’s making it up
This irritates me SO much
Because they’ve gone over it 1000 times so she can get her story right
It’s a psychological response to reinforce her story.
She's not regretful at all😢
Yes your ritht here 😢
she's a narcissist
Really glams up for the court appearance like Jodi Arias.
Thanks Dr.
With personality disorder.
Point blak
So, they're still in the car and she starts stabbing him and his reaction is to stay in the car while being stabbed and attempt to get closer to her to strangle her instead of getting away?
But SHE'S the victim, didn't you know??🙄😄
The poor family of the victim Alex....to have to sit through this bs. Talk about adding insult to injury.
36:47 - "I got out of the tru- car" - I think this was a slip on Ezra's part. If you look at the crime scene the car got stuck next to a green flat bed truck which was open on the top. I've long thought through what actually happened that fateful day to Alex because the crime scene makes very little sense. Ezra's recollection is clearly fabricated as to frame Alex as the instigator.
I think what happened is that she lured him out there and possibly suggested them having s*x one last time, and as he was in love with her I doubt he would have refused. Her mentioning him needing to pee is so out of left field I can't help but feel there is some truth to it - that this was something he actually said during this sequence of events, however not after being stabbed 15 times. I think they attempted to have s*x in the back of Ezra's car - explaining the muddy footprint on the ceiling of the car, but a lack of space meant it was uncomfortable, but there was another suitable hidden spot - the green truck. If you look at the crime scene photo you can see there is some equipment in it, but its pushed to the front of the truck, making space behind it, more than enough space for two bodies. Needing to pee becomes an issue for males before they have s*x - and so this is why I think this was said and hence why Ezra has said it, but changed the context of it to avoid mentioning their attempted (or successful) s*xual encounter prior to his murder (seeing as her ultimate intention for murdering Alex was to get Jason Mengel back). It would explain why there was no blood on his trousers, or underwear, why he removed his coat despite the snow outside, why Ezra removed her flannel, trousers and shoes - because the only marks on her jeans were dirt and the superficial tears she ripped into them. She was found wearing only her socks, leaving her shoes behind. I couldn't find whether Alex was missing his shoes also, but it would make sense if he wasn't wearing shoes either as to take your trousers off you need to remove your shoes (but not necessarily socks!)
The majority of the blood was found next to the green truck, which would be where they would have climbed out. As Ezra had almost no blood on her, she clearly took him by surprise and attacked him from behind, stabbing him first in the head. Personally I think this knocked him over as he wasn't expecting the blow, hitting the floor. I believe he was unconscious from the head blow, so she turned him over, likely to assess whether the initial blow had killed him. Seeing he was still alive, she then rained blows with the knife while he was on the floor, explaining the lack of his blood on her, including slashing his neck. His lack of defensive wounds suggests that he was unconscious while the rest of the attack occurred. She then gathered her things, stole his phone from her car and fled the scene, leaving Alex for dead. The carving of the word "boy" into her arm may have happened here or it may have happened while she was moving away from the scene. Alex regained consciousness at some point afterwards and attempted to re-enter the car, likely to retrieve his phone to call for help, only to find it missing. He then died hanging out of the car from blood loss.
This is what I suspect is the true course of events. Poor Alex, he didn't deserve to be murdered by this egotistical maniac.
I agree. I also thought that they were going to have sx Maybe she said she’d get on top..
And I also agree that there are elements of truth in her story which makes it somewhat believable but it’s not believable because she’s lying.
So there is cognitive dissonance.
She probably straddled HIM.
And if she didn’t have her glasses, she sure found her way to him to stab him one final time. LIAR.
No remorse. Lights are on but nobody is home. She's just enjoying recounting the experience...and saying "yes..."
Did she understand that she doesn't have to testify or even speak? What sort of defense attorney would put this lying menace on the stand?? Unfathomable. - j q t -
My thoughts exactly 🤔
I guess these narcissistic types think they are outsmarting everyone with their acting and their bullshit. She probably thought this was a great idea and would get everyone on her side…. 🤷🏻♀️
You said menace lol
Because narcissists insist on it and love the attention
Riiiiight! I am just gobsmacked that the defense allowed this testimony.
She murdered Alex because he didn't want her anymore!! He realized she was crazy!!
Why does she repeat the last words of the question being asked? Really strange, it sounds like storytelling. And it's so irritating.
It's a technique to buy time to think for example to come up with a lie.
It is so rehearsed. "at that point...", also a thousand times.
It is sad, but I don't believe her. As fake as Amber Heard.
Definitely sounds like a freestyle!! I seen like a “body language expert” or somebody say that’s how you know somebody is making up the story as they go.
Cause she's basically a moron who got coached like hell beforehand and simply lets you know that unwittingly by reciting her very well learned lesson at school while the teacher interrogates her.
It gives her time to think what she’s gonna say in answer. She’s such a liar
When she said he ask for help!!! and she went to him ... how did she find her way over to him without her glasses 😮
Jinkies Velma lost her glasses! 😆
Wow she could really keep herself busy while she’s incarcerated writing cheap paper backs with her ability to make up these stories. I can’t see one bit of remorse for what she’s done.
She is so unwell. 100% responsible, but not normal. She’s a monster. They don’t all look scary, but you can tell there is no sense of morality or feeling, remorse…she’s not human like you or I.
Shr sounds like shes reading a book
@@leaharchambault5796Agree, she's nutty as hell, fully responsible for what she did, but scary. 🫤
Or HER cheating with Alex.
I thought the same thing. 😂
Sooooo rehearsed!! And completely unremorseful! 🤬 LIAR!
She started texting him AFTER telling him not to contact her again! I'd say it was pre-meditated and she brought a knife, for God's sake..
Duh.. it was easy for the jury to find this evil narcissist guilty! 😢 RIP Alex 😢💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭
"evil" doesn't exist, reality is much more complex than this simplistic word.
Ezra’s main concern was Ezra’s well being and her anxiety. She has to be the most bizarre person I’ve ever seen. You know when she’s lying is when she’s talking. She was concerned about not using her tent to give her car traction but stabbing a person to death was her result of having freedom to be with the love of her life. It’s too bad Jason didn’t pursue his uneasiness about the way Ezra’s was acting. Listening to her testimony about what happened it’s hard to believe she hadn’t been diagnosed with Some kind of mental disorder.
I can't stand listening to her. It's like she's memorized parts of a thriller novel in describing her "attack". Sorry, I don't believe her imaginary story.
I bet she never dresses like an old lady outside of court.
@@CharlieBravo887your comment was also reported.
I bet nobody thinks you are a barbie but you. @@StonedBarbiee
Sounds rehearsed when she’s answering questions.
Thanks Court tv,
Also, Rottweiler Investigation channel has this Whole trial in one place for those interested 💜🌞
So she brought a knife with her? She was sitting on the center console with her back to the driver's side, but then suddenly was pressed against the back of the driver's seat? He got out of the car, then layed down on his coat, then got back in the car, only to end up hanging out of the car dead? If he got out of the car and was standing by the trailer, why the HELL would she go to him? Why wouldn't she run her ass off to get away? Why the hell did she cut the word BOY in her arm, that's so bizarre? None of this makes any sense. You can tell her attorney is beyond annoyed with her testimony and hates having to do this.
I thought her and her attorney were both annoying. I couldn't get through it because it wasn't making sense. I'm here reading the comments as cliff notes. It seems no one else could follow the nonsense either.
You should watch the whole trial on @rottweilerinvestigations
The attorney is not well spoken, is not clear, is not prepared. She’s the opposite… too busy concentrating on leading and coaching
The saddest moment was when she said he took off his coat and layed down on his coat. In this moment he knew he was going to die.
Pretty sure he & jacket were found in car & her version was a lie
This never happened. Lol. What actually happened was she st@bbed him 16 times and he tragically died right there where he laid. Damn near every word of this testimony is absolute deception.
Can’t help but picturing her saying “My dog stepped on a bee” 🥴😵💫😵😩
Hahaha id never put her and AH in a cell together I know that much!!
@@thcwhat00 😂😂
Exactly.
And like Amber Turd, constantly reciting and directing looking at the jury 🙄
Being stabbed multiple times and Alex saying: "I've been waiting for this so long".
Mmmm, Ezra doesn't have her facts in order. Chronologically. At 39 minutes in her story....
As she keeps talking to and looking at the jury. Pleading her innocence. 🤦🏻♀️
Like Amber Heard did..
As someone who is reliving a traumatic experience in the present tense, she shows zero emotion! No triggering AT ALL!!
Why does she look like she wants to smile? Very kind of removed from it all. She seems to put herself in sexual situations and is very accepting, almost welcoming the outcome. Odd behavior.
After Ezra’s car got stuck, her story about how to deal with it was so bizarre. She didn’t want to call a tow truck because of the cost. Most of us have been stuck whether in mud or snow usually one pushes and the other is behind the wheel. Usually the stronger one starts to push. If the tent would have helped I would had used it. It probably was bs like the rest of her story. She didn’t want to wreck her tent, she didn’t want to pay a tow truck so what just leave the car there? The anxiety excuse was weird. I get panic attacks but I still can try to solve a problem. If anyone should had been anxious it should had been Alex. The part where she’s been told how she’s beautiful, a shining sun and handsome. What a nutcase.
Text book sociopath.
Thanks Dr.
100%
Textbook bozo
@acmerocket… it’s not
Rocket science… 😁
But for you - here’s a tip - google
‼️‼️
What confuses me is after she managed to get away from him why did she go back to him.? She said because he asked for help. That bit dosnt ring true for me.
Because Alex asked her to help him pee. Like did she think we’d believe this garbage??
WHAT SHE WAS SAYING WAS SOOOOOOO REHEARSED !!!!!!
That must be the sharpest knife in the history of knifes. I mean cutting through fabric which is on a person and who didn't notice until the sweater is cut completly open? You must pull the fabric so tight to cut it that I can't imagine she just noticed it once the sweater came loose...
Of course he brought a knife 😉 and she just by pure luck, was able to take it from him and stab him in a frenzy. I mean she only attacked him twice 🫣
I can’t see anything without my glasses but then I could see he cut my sweater off 😂 🤦🏽♀️ I could see everything else but couldn’t see without my glasses. I could also see the knife he was using even though it wasn’t within inches of my face, but again, I can’t see without my glasses
Yes! She also claims he needed to "pee" so she helped him pee then stabbed him in the side? Her story was just absolutely insane
@@hannam4014 yeah it was so crazy that it was almost comical. No body who’s just been stabbed/attacked has ever had to suddenly pee esp since the man was also stabbed in his genitals! Also when the police found the car, wasn’t the man hanging half out of the car? I could’ve sworn I heard that somewhere yet she stated he laid down on his jacket on the ground. I also can’t fathom anyone who’s just been stabbed like this thinking “oh let me put my jacket down first to lay on so I don’t get dirty” 🤦🏽♀️
@@sheslikethewind8999 Her story was insane! She is insane! I think Ezra was trying to get away and couldn't get Alex out of the car so she ran. Her art is also horrible and she needs to just stop trying to be in the limelight.
Why is she trying not to smile.
As a European human being I‘m confused what questions they ask in a murder case in the US.
Right now she’s testifying. The defense asks questions to lead her. On cross the prosecution gets to ask questions that would prove inconsistencies. Usually the defense gets a rebuttal and then onto the next witness.
So... You get assaulted, or almost, and you get stabbed, and you're terrified, and you want to get the f away... You then are outside the car helping the dude who just did that to you to take a piss?! And zero emotion while telling all this? At all? Something feels way off. I've watched too much of @TheBehaviorPanel
Love that show.... she's having a " silble " incident. She told Jason she was attacked but didn't go to police then she goes places with him. Jason wondering she cheating. Cuts herself....called herself by different names.. why that name did any one ask who is that person... someone she knew ? A real person a made person ?!?!?
This monster needs a to stay in prison for life
As per her narrative Alex is portrayed like lifeless doll or soft toy.......he is not screaming after being stabbed...he is not walking away from girl who is stabbing him...he is asking her help ........plus thanking her for killing. him violently as if he had no better options.........its a badly written script by ezra........this is unforgivable sin.
Still as strange as the first time I watched the live trial in 2019. If what she says about her back story is true, it’s sad, yet she still presents as unbelievable and unreliable.
Right?! During a break the Court TV commentator said she comes across as “relatable” and forthright 😭I would argue the exact opposite.
I thought I was losing my mind when I clicked on this video. Then I realized it’s from 2019 🤦🏼♀️ I really have a terrible memory. I watched then
What was her sentence?
@@Denise_Suzanne life, with the possibility of parole after serving a mandatory minimum of 50 years. So she has to serve 50 years before applying for parole.
Look at her, making direct eye contact and address the jury like a pro. Manipulator
Why does she keep smiling and smirking the entire time? Can she not hold it in? Especially when her ex took the stand in the other video I watched. She was smiling the whole time at him. I find that sociopathic behavior is what she displays here.
She LOVES the attention!!!
She fears him until being stuck becomes her sole problem, and then she suddenly remembers she has to be anxious.
Such a blatant liar, sooooo bad. When someone is "frozen" as she said, they are NOT limp!!! You are actually quite stiff when u freeze up because of panic or fear. She's never froze up a day in her pathetic life!!
I think she is just full of crap. He didn't flinch when she was stabbing him. He didn't try to save himself? Human instinct is to save yourself. He has been stabbed and yet he is trying to pull her closer still. Come on.
I know it's so petty given the subject matter, but the way she says, "yes" grates on my nerves.
This is one of those cases that has remained with me - the autopsy photos are also extremely telling.
All the pictures I’ve seen of Ezra her look changes from picture to picture. She’s very bizarre. I feel sorry for Alex’s family. I can never understand how someone can murder another person. She is eerily similar to Jodie Arias. They both didn’t seem they had any remorse and they both lie so easily and they would speak in the third person.
Bad driver
What has that have to do with stabbing someone 16 times
@40:20 - 40:26 she is asked if she had any problems seeing without her glasses up to that point. She shakes her head no but says yes. Incongruent behavior.
She lost me at carving "boy" into her arm randomly after stabbing the boy to death
I only call my wife handsome when I want to skip dinner. 🥘
😂
She said he called her “HANDSOME” is she a man??
Apparently, sometimes according to her.
Gender fluid... how effed up is that?
I know the ' Ezra is...' most bizarre luke someone else said its like the plot of a shitty romance novel.
Is Ezra a transgender?
@@dannydyerschocolatehumuncl2418More the plot of a bad thriller.
This lawyer is totally leading her. It’s soooo fake. Jodi…..is this your sibling Jodi???
How did she know it was a knife
I thought she couldn’t see
OMG! I looked up who Ezra’s mother is! She tried several times (before succeeding in 2014) to murxxx her two youngest sons! She hurt them badly, broken pelvis from running them over with her car, and worse! WHY was she allowed to keep the kids after that, to severely injure them multiple times?
Her name is Laurel Michelle Schlemmer. There’s an article titled “Prosecutors: McCandless woman tried to kill sons before succeeding in 2014”.
That's not her mother. Laurel Schlemmer Lived In McCandles, had 3 boys, no daughters, and drowned 2 of her sons during a psychotic breakdown. Her home was in McCandles, it wasn't her name.
Oh my gosh… no. You’re deluded and spreading fake news. But if that WERE her mother, then she might have a case
Ezra talks about her anxiety from being stuck in the mud, no mention about her anxiety when stabbing Alex and all the blood.The only injury was when she carved the word boy in her arm.
She sounds very childlike.
Purposeful tactic to cause cognitive dissonance in the jury
I tried to help him pee because that’s what I do. I help people. After she literally just stabbed him in the head. How absolutely delusional.
I dont trust this woman! she isn’t telling truth
Her story sounds like a midday movie she's written the script for. None of what she says sounds believable.
32:27 "I was trapped between the open door and the center console"
So she was in the passenger seat.... With the door open.... 😂😂
Anyone know the motive? What she did makes no sense
She lives in fantasy land. lol I can already hear her now asking her cell mate if they want to hear her poetry. haha
I’m sorry. She’s cute and all that. But when she said this guy who attacked her got out the car after she stabbed him to get him off her. Then she stands around and waits for him to say something. He says he needs help going to the bathroom. So she goes and helps him for him to grab her and it starts all over again. I’m like guilty. If a woman is attacked and is about to be rapped. Once she gets free she’s running until she finds help. She went to him because he said he needed help going to the bathroom. And she just wanted to help him because she likes helping people. WTF. That’s the best she could come up with. She’s crazy.
The defense attorney is an insufferable person.
Why do these girls always “get into a fog”???
I haven’t followed this case previously, but know confused as checking episodes she was sentenced a year ago. What has happened that the case is now in court again, please
Maybe an appeal happened
She asked for a new trial last December claiming the jury never heard "the whole story". The judge announced that there will be no new trial, as "it would be a monumental waste of resources" and that the evidence of her guilt was "overwhelming".
@@Beth-ux8zu last one was denied
Why does she repeat questions that the defense asks her before every answer? It is a stalling technique so she can think of the right answer?? So she doesnt make any mistakes?? Similar to Amber Heard eating food when she was being asked questions by Johnny Depps lawyer?? Im curious of others thoughts on this??
Is it just me or does it seem like her nose is growing????
17:34 “you could say…straddled”
Girl what else would it be?
Why was she kept repeating every question then answer them
