![Apple River stabbing trial: Victim A.J. Martin testimony [FULL]](/img/n.gif)
No just imagine this situation if everyone minded thier own business
Exactly
Yeah. That old dude should've minded his own business instead of going up and pushing a kids legs and moving their innertubes while staying silent. Thats weird and anyone would call someone that did that names. THen he tried to murder them all including the young girls. Messed up. And people are defending that. Sickening. You all need to be in jail.
@@humanbean3he said imagine if everyone minded there own business not defending him lol
@@humanbean3what kids

The old man was just trying to find his friend’s phone when a group of drunk and high teenagers assaulted him in a group. Self defence all the way!
This comment is to anybody with children. RAISE YOUR KIDS TO BE RESPECTFUL. Bullies always at some point get what's coming to them. Don't be the parent of a kid you either had to bury or visit during an extensive stay in ICU because you failed as a parent by not raising your kid properly. This incident is a result of extreme disrespect from kids to an elderly man who bothered nobody.
Remember, those kids were all VERY drunk & had all been smoking weed all day, according to their court testimony.
Okay....so why are a bunch of teens high and drunk? They obviously have parents that haven't raised them! Those "parents" if they are IN the picture, probably carry themselves like children also..not a one of them is a victim. What they lack is accountability for their behaviors and decisions in life up to this point. If that old man gets a sentence for this, then it will be a great injustice. Those teens acted irresponsible from the get go and have a lot of nerve to say because they had inebriated functions that they shouldn't be accountable for the assault of a man simply looking for a lost phone. Heathens.
Those kids were behaving like a pack of rabid wolves up until the point this happened! He shouldn’t have spent one day in jail!
Tell that to Nic’s parents loser
For sure I’ve been saying this is why parents always tell their kids to mind their own business this is a serious injustice if that man gets found guilty he was surrounded and tormented only to get arrested for defending himself. I will say judging by many of the reactions in these comment sections most people are on nicolae’s side so we can only hope the jury sees it the same way
That poor man didn’t stand a chance! I’m 40, if I found myself surrounded by 13 drunk teen bullies, calling me the most vile names & making disgusting accusations, and then I get repeatedly assaulted, pushed down into the water, scared of drowning, I would only pray that I had some kind of weapon to defend myself. At that point, I’d be fighting for my life!
Calm down old woman so edgy
99% of the commenters agree with you except a weird few.
These kids will learn 1 way or another
I absolutely agree with you. These teenagers agitated the situation.

@@LeslieLyn86 lmao you think all kids are just like this becuase of tiktok, people have always beens animals and stupid actually a matter of fact is its getting better nowadays
@@rbxcrimes yeah but it’s FAR worse with kids as young as 9 and 10 having phones and literally posting on social media 24/7 I certainly didn’t grow up that way, no school shootings, I bet not as much bullying as there is now…. It’s all sick. AND yea, wasn’t this exact thing posted on TikTok?
@@rbxcrimesnegative. Depression among teens is through the roof. A year of isolation and no public schooling made it 40% worst, statistically (with females). Around 20% for males. Social media isn’t for children, but here we are, exposing twerking asses, gambling (v bucks/RNG “loot boxes”), and queer makeup tutorials to CHILDREN. There’s a clear common denominator but a select few don’t want to talk about it.
Everyone is a victiim now. 5 min before they were bullies. You cant attact people and harrass them, then gang up on them amd expect nothing to happen
It amazed me that they never gave it a thought! You poke the bear you're going to be crying...
They are all victims. The old man punched the blonde girl in the video and that's why they attacked him. Old man was the instigator all around.
@@themartdog the old man is just that an old man that was surrounded and the girl was in his face and pushed him back, according to the testimony, the girl made it her business because she was drunk to come over in someone's business and gang up on someone who had been lured by names and being told he was looking for little girls. The one recording is the one who started and antagonized and pushed for some good video. If I'm getting attacked from all angles and not knowing what a bunch of drunks who singled me out to harrass where going to do. If I have a weapon to get away. Best believe I'm stabbing as well. All in the video. He's trying to get away they were all coming up to him he did what he had to to get away. You're a victim as well, I'm sure. You were probably traumatized second hand. You probably think as well you can bully and harrass and gang up, then when someone stops it with force. You cry foul and didn't do anything. Please. You're probably a kid, so really I shouldn't be wasting my time commenting this.
@@themartdog and actually at first I believed the man was guilty and should be in prison. Then, I saw the trial and the video proved he was acting in self defense and the wrong person is on trial. Actually, the kid recording and a couple others should be tried and charged for their friend and the others should be charged for a strangers death. The old man, as you say should be set free and then he should pursue charges on the teens for defamation and calling him a pedophile and telling people he was looking for little girls because they were underage drunks and decided to harrass and bull an "old man" possibly be charged with elderly abuse. Then justice would be served.
@@themartdogI’m going to assume you didn’t see what lead up to the actual stabbing. They surrounded him, were literally taunting and threatening him, shoving cameras in his face. I’m surprised he didn’t attack them sooner. Watch that video, these kids were fools and got what they asked for unfortunately.
Do NOT mess with ppl you don't know
How about ppl with severe anger issues looking for an excuse to kill should walk tf away

Lesson learned not to provoke anyone so you don't get hurt...
@@loiolarte9734Right! Bullies will learn soon enough!
I don’t like the fact that people are defending these kids. The guy was surrounded by a mob. Put yourself in his shoes. Will you let yourself be attacked by 13 people? Heck no, it’s fight to survive at that point.
People are defending young privileged adults who probably have never had a consequence for anything they have ever said or done. Spoiled upbringing leads to rotten behavior.
The old guy was the victim. The young man who died (as horrible and horrific as it is) got the consequence of attacking someone.
I don't like that people are victim blaming & incapable of critical thinking.
@@melsafken764 critical thinking? It was wrong for him to stab to death a young teen. However, don't pretend like these spoiled little brats didn't instigate to the point of driving this man over the edge. Look at the 17 year old who lost his life, he came from MONEY. He had his own business detailing boats and was into golf. Look at his parents backgrounds. The more money people make, the more likely they will raise children who devalue the everyday average joe. This was pretty clear here.
Your absolutely correct I was hoping for a not guilty because these kids were villains .

Too common today.
This kid (after he was stabbed) was video-taped lying on his back in the water, that dirty water entered this wound, I wonder if the water worsened his situation?
Hearing those kids laughing hysterically when he was down in the water was disgusting. More and more kids today have no empathy which is really scary.
In this case, it isn't the kids.
The entire up and coming generation of young people is completely screwed up. They’re completely out of control, have no clue what real consequences are, have no respect for other people, they just embarrass themselves and their parents on the daily. These kids never had their a$$e$ beat by their parents a single day in their lives.

From Bullies to victims! Not guilty, self defense! He should sue them all for his legal fees

Meanwhile Nic claims he was scared for his life yet approached the teenagers by himself like a madman grabbing their legs and tubes aggressively. He never walked away until after stabbing 5 and killing 1. He calmly got back in his tubes after throwing away the murder weapon.
He tried to lie to police and act like he wasn’t involved. Then, when that didn’t work, he tried to lie to Belize and investigators by saying 2 boys had knives. Then, when that story didn’t work, he lied again and again and again and again
As a teenage boy what would you do if you saw a grown man hit a girl or woman? Defend her correct? That was the only self defense that happened. Those boys defending a girl from a 52 year old 240 pound man.

This was not self defense. Your life is not in danger if you have multiple opportunities to exit a situation but choose not to out of pride which is exactly what Miu did.

I hope they all learned to be polite and respectful toward strangers.
Those wild animals will think twice about taunting a person in the future. Leave people alone.
I’ve seen the video. If the older man hit the woman first as the video suggests, it is the reason they all started hitting him. If the older man didn’t hit the woman, it is a case of him being assaulted as a response to him being physically confrontational and not communicating while people approach you which is also confrontational. One scenario is physical confrontation while the other is physically violent. Either way, it is excessive force. Manslaughter or murder will be the outcome for the old man as taking a knife out and slashing people in an indiscriminate manner is excessive force.
Yes, they thought he was vulnerable. He was outnumbered. They didn't imagine he would fight back.
@@mcbillygoatnot in self defense though .
Self-defense! Those young men had no business attacking him.
When a group of young men attack a man twice their age. This is what could happen! keep your hands to yourself.
Life is not a video game. Life is not social media. He was standing his ground.
Serious question. Is that really OK for the jurors to look away? I mean, wouldn’t it be really important for them to watch this? Just asking the legal stance of the statement that was made to the jury before the evidence was shown
Normally jury selection will include questions such as "Are you ok with graphic evidence?", assuming that's the case here. If a juror were to avert their eyes significantly (to the point where the judge feels that they have not viewed the evidence), they would probably be dismissed and possibly held in contempt if they had previously indicated they were ok with viewing it.
@@danieljohnson5595 Contempt seems harsh, people think they can handle things a lot, and when it comes time to handle it they get cold feet.
@@EQOAnostalgia Yeah contempt is unlikely, but as I said possible if the judge felt like the juror misrepresented themselves in voir dere
Done jury duty these are videos to grasp the context of what’s happened but you get statements read out and from doctors and you get copy’s to view so don’t have to watch the video no it’s shown for everyone what you have to understand is the facts yes he did this all horrible but why did he go over there armed and on his own doesn’t make sense. Some kids can be utter tools and alcohol isn’t great but even if they were being idiots no excuse to do what he did andd that’s me not know all the facts the boy that got killed. He was like just go and bang stabbed like he was nothing and in his chest only one outcome I’m just so glad the other 3 are ok would love a update on them and yeah cops aren’t the paramedics and get slated in your country as racist but there the first to be there when ever you need them just puts that into context
Nah, they don't really need to look at it. They are determining whether the defendant's actions were self defense, or first degree murder. What led up to the stab injuries is what is important.
F around and find out kids
Pretty accurate
yes exactly. But now this man will die in prison. I'm just getting started but so far, I'm feeling that he SHOULD NOT be in jail and was just found guilty. I'm feeling horrible for him. Those YOUNG ADULTS were a MOB attacking him!!!
Miu in prison for life. He f-ed around and found out. Even his wife left him.

Every single person in this case was in the wrong. What happened to walking away?
Right walking away is very hard,but is mostly for the better to calm down and walk away
They wasn't allowing him to walk away see the actual moments this means nothing
What happened to bullying older people for no reason?
Ask the guy who came up to the group and didn’t leave
Dude brought a knife to a fist fight
Why were these men calling this guy a pedophile and bothering him? Then a bunch of other people start coming over? 1 guy surrounded, do you think you can turn your back and walk away safely from a growing crowd of people calling you a pedo?
Supposedly he was snorkeling near them and one of them asked what was he looking for and he said young girls.. but later told an adult that he was looking for his phone in the water
why coudlnt the mature adult use his words and explain. Instead of psychotically be silent and monotone.
Yes. Thats called being an adult
Go watch the full unedited video before you make comments like this, please.
No. I would have been stunned and terrified by the shear volume of the crowed and then they laid him out in the ground. They punched him while down. They could have walked away but they choose to assault someone with a knife.
I’m 53. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. Even as teenagers, when children tend to be more rebellious and run their mouth off foolishly, we respected our elders. Back then, teachers might have had a disrespectful student here and there, but for the most part, their students were respectful and followed the teacher’s instructions. If we hadn’t been respectful, and done as we were told, our parents would have been notified, and back then, kids KNEW what that meant. We were more concerned about the punishment from our parents than we were from any other authority figure. As a result, we didn’t have a large part of the youth in society acting like a bunch of hoodlums. We didn’t have school sh**tings, we didn’t have cops patrolling the school every day, we could go hang out with our friends at the mall without worrying about a bunch of kids getting into a fight, and one of them pulling out a g*n and firing. All of these things began in the 90’s, when the campaign against a parent’s right to discipline their child resulted in many parents being fearful of doing so. There was a lot of promotion of techniques like “time out” for parents disciplining their children. The problem is, children are individuals, and a specific technique for disciplining them is not going to work for all of them. When I did something really bad, something that would get progressively worse and be repeated if I didn’t suffer harsh enough consequences to make me not want to do that again, I got my tail whooped. If I did it again, I got my tail tore up again. Spanking your child’s butt for something they did wrong, to cause them to pause and think before doing it again, is NOT the same as parents who beat on their children for no purpose, who are intentionally trying to inflict bodily harm on them. Spanking isn’t going to work on teenagers, BUT, if you have been disciplining your children from the start, your children will already know the difference between right and wrong when they’re teenagers, and they are not going to be as likely to do things they know will result in negative consequences.
Even for the most hardheaded of children, if they have a severe negative consequence for something bad they did, it will eventually kick in that if they stop doing that bad thing, so will the consequences of doing it vanish. When I disobeyed my parents without any real consequences, I would usually do it again. This is just human nature. It’s within our very nature to be rebellious. Also in the 90’s, a lot of parents stopped parenting altogether, choosing to let technology raise their children instead. The result of all of that is the surge today in children who are committing more crimes, who have no respect for ANY authority whatsoever, and who have this narcissistic sense of self-entitlement that makes them think they can do whatever they want, to whoever they want, and nobody is going to stop them, or hold them accountable. Another factor in this whole scenario is the lack of a dad in many American homes. There used to be no phrase that struck fear in the heart of a child who had been caught doing something wrong than, “You just wait until your daddy gets home and finds out what you did”. If I was misbehaving, my parents could stop me in my tracks with just a look. That is a well disciplined child, when they can be corrected with just a look from their parents. The society we see today, with its rising numbers of juveniles being disrespectful and committing more and more offenses, is a direct result of the destruction of the nuclear family, the lack of parents disciplining their children and teaching them right from wrong, and the heavy influence of social media on young people. This incident would have never happened if these teenagers had been taught not to be disrespectful to their elders, and if they hadn’t been initially instigating a confrontation with the defendant so they could post it to social media for “clout”, hoping it would go viral. It went viral alright, just not in the way those teenagers imagined. Back in my day, if we saw an older man looking for something, we would have offered to help him, not start bullying him and calling him a r*pist. That’s a horrible accusation to make against someone you don’t know.
So true!!!
False Christian huh
kids make teachers quit their jobs now a days. they"re literally out of control and have no respect for their elders. im born in the 90's and still was taught to respect my elders
@Redeemed..AMEN🙏 HALLELUJAH 🙏 KEEP ON PREACHING THE TRUTH 🙏🙏🙏
I couldn't agree more!!! I grew up in the 60s and 70s and nobody was stabbing or shooting each other!! Like you said, we were more scared of what our parents would do as far as discipline and punishment, so we behaved ourselves!! Even as teenagers in the 70s all we wanted to do was party and have a good time. This crap we're seeing today is ridiculous!!!
This Prosection was an absolute disgrace and embarrasment. Further displays how far apart "justice" is between one state and another. Great example at the expense of the "actual victim", what happens when young adults cross alcohol,weed and social media with what should have been a pretty benign day on the river. By the way, WTH is "Russian" looking as a description?
This was ten minutes long, and as far as I can see there are only two cops, and there is no control of anything in this video. Also, this video shows nothing disturbing, not sure why the judge would say that to the jury.
Technically, what this judge did by saying that is essentially telling the jury to withhold evidence, which could be good enough for a mistrial. Not sure if anyone has really caught that yet, besides the public. I'm sure they will 'let it slide' though.. pffff
What nonsense … nothing disturbing? To many members of the public that never came across real life violence and injuries … never seen such clips it can quickly become disturbing.
@@GanymedeXDpoint out the "disturbing" part that would cause a JURY MBR to look away.

@@TommytwotimesTightlipsis there video of him punching a girl, I keep hearing people say that but I’ve not seen it in any video?
@@gophukyurselvs3621they didn’t see Nic punching anyone. that was a lie and debunked by defense.
@@gophukyurselvs3621 the only right answer ive seen. i cant help but compare it to the Rittenhouse trial in some way because i was very opinionated on it being self defense. however here the dude approached the people he was "scared of" (one of the big things rittenhouse DIDNT do) and proceeded to take a concealed knife and stab the kids over, and in this exact order, a push, and 2 slaps, never close fisted. they never so much as had more than 2 kids touch him. just because other kids are standing around DOES NOT mean they were jumping him. dude even stabbed a girl that was just standing there. The kids are idiots for instigating the dude, but as an adult you should know that thats what teenagers act like and walk away. instead he had a tantrum over TROLLING and stabbed 5 kids and killed 1, which implies that 4 kids that never touched him were stabbed. people are just ignorant to the fact that this man had every opportunity to walk away. if he had to run for his life and they chased him like rittenhouse, then this whole case would be pretty easy
Next time keep your hands to yourself
That's right. Don't stab rowdy kids because your ego can't handle taunting. Now you're doing life in prison for that stupidity.
@@dutchdna They shoved him down into the water and were hitting him and laughing, he has self defense all over.
@@dutchdna So he should have got knocked out and drowned to death? Yep. You sure are Dutch.
It was not self defense he was looking for young girls and would not leave them alone. They were shoving him because he was harassing them. When he started stabbing them is when the kids tried to fight back but realized they were being stabbed. And he even stabbed a girl in the back that was walking away. He went towards her and stabbed her in the back and it’s on camera, no way in hell that’s self defense.

I thought she was annoying and I would have just died to not hear her annoying yelling anymore.
@@cglostinvegasalso me. So high pitched, loud and repetitive.
Yeah, being hysterical like that in a situation like this is the absolute worst thing you can do and doesn’t help anyone.
I would've found my last bit of strength to tell her "ma'am I appreciate it.. but your voice is not the last one I want to hear."
Horrible.take. she's prolly the reason her boy got his tummy opened up
For everyone complaining about the lady yelling..
😂 I partially agree but I watched the victim’s testimony. Turns out when you’re dying you start to lose the senses you don’t need, i.e. hearing. He said he’d been close to death before & the same thing happened. This likely explains why she was yelling at him loudly. He couldn’t hear them well if at all. I’m sure it was also hard for him to go unconscious if he was hearing it at all 😅🥴
I have heard that same kind of voice in the hospital in the room where patients are taken after surgery. I wanted to yell "shut up!" at one of the nurses because she was so annoying trying to wake a guy up.
I was in the E.R. bleeding out and my sister says I was "Mean" cuz one guy keep talking to me loud like this "Awesome lady!"
I was so annoyed... he knew I was going to die...
Couldn't be more wrong ... As a biologist and having worked in the biomedical field for decades . Your hearing , is one of the last senses to fade ( depending on the injury) . That's why you talk loud and repeatedly , to someone who could be possibly dying . Keeping the brain neurons firing via hearing is a powerful tool . Talking loudly and touching the face , is highly suggested in a bleed out situation. Even in a hospice death , telling the loved ones to shout " I love you " or another parting phrase isn't unheard of . Shout your loved ones out of this life . If you want them to know you're by their side. I've seen patients faces change to a smile . While their loved ones were hollering their goodbyes . Google it . Our hearing is usually the last sense that goes during the dying process .
You're wrong... Hearing is one of the last senses to go..

@@poboxchristmas380 Water is thin lol. Ofc it did. What they mean is that alcohol thins blood, making it easier to bleed out. Which is true.
If she's a nurse, she's doing a horrible job at keeping everyone calm. You don't have to bust an ear drum to keep someone awake.
I can understand her wanting to keep AJ aware and yes, it is annoying as all get out. For me, it isn't her wanting to keep AJ awake and talking, it is just the sound of her voice. More a shriek. Her voice is incredibly annoying on the regular. LOL. I breathe very shallowly and I have had several surgeries. I have always been driven to distraction by the nurses in the recovery room calling out to me to take deeper breaths.
Who are you to tell a nurse how to do their job?
She's doing her job keeping him alive, and he seems to pass out a couple of time why she's talking in such a loud voice to keep him awake and aware. Respect that.
In the trial the nurse said she was doing cpr on the other kid. I don't think she was a nurse. The nurse was with Isaac.

I don't care wht you think you would do. Until you are in this exact situation without support of colleagues or medics you better just stay humble and show respect. She was the only person I heard with any sense until the police officers arrived.
She would have caused more anxiety in the victim with her screeching at him. One is supposed to be calm and speak slowly and confidently, not scream like this at the victim. I am a RN and trained in First Aid by St John's ambulance.

I just watched the entire video of the incident. These young men surrounded the older man yelling,taunting and screaming at him. They shoved him, put his head in the water and continued to harrasa him. That video is quite disturbing what they were doing to him. Terrible all the way around.
If this is what you saw, you did NOT watch the video. Did you watch the entire video of the murderer's police interrogation and the video from when they had him in the back of the cruiser at the scene? Both are filled with lies and in the back of the cruiser he pretended he knew nothing about the incident and told the LEO that he had 'heard that someone got stabbed and I look like the suspect'. An innocent person convinced of their right to self defense would not be that liar.

Nicolae approached the kids who were already in their tubes, he is the instigator of all the aggression. The kids were minding thier own business and told him to leave. It went from bad to worse and they were totally unarmed. A liar is always a thief. Make no mistake. He stole a young man's life and injured many.

God forgive you don’t act like a damn hooligan gang assaulting the disabled and elderly .
I remember hearing some doctor several years ago say that there were often distinct differences in the prognosis of a patient, between one with loved ones/people who care versus those who were alone. Having that support gives patients the will to hold on a little harder.
She was as bad as the rest. I hope he didn't make it!
The man was being harassed and taunted by a group of people ! I don't blame him at all . All he was doing was protecting himself AFTER he was pushed down in the water
