This was really pretty bad. She came off like a defense lawyer the way she was twisting the story to make Hannah look as bad as possible. She looked bad enough on her own without the embellishments.
I knew nothing about this case but after hearing the Opening statement I feel like I've been following it all along. This prosecutor was outstanding here.
I started learning about it not too long ago and was unsure if I’d watch the trial or not. It seemed like a pretty open snd shut case, she followed when told not to, did what she did and is guilty. But this lawyer has me invested with her opening statement, she is doing a great job of laying out the scene.
I believe this woman saw this older gentleman and she had her mind made up. She felt she had authority over him. He was beneath her and he was going to do what she said or else!
Right? Scary AF...both my husband and brother are diabetic. It's terrifying to think they could be having a medical emergency and get shot and killed because some wannabe pretend cop out for an adventure wants to pretend it's the wild west and play judge, jury, and instant executioner with a gun.
Plus you're thinking totally goes out the window when you're having a medical emergency and you know it, that's why people are never held liable when they break a few laws on the way to the hospital...
I agree. I have had this happen to me once. People need to get a life! This is a senseless crime that could have been avoided if the defendant had a life. All she had to do was LISTEN to the cops and COMPREHEND the cops' instructions! If the cops say do not follow then you do not follow! Simple as that! Cops are the experts on traffic issues and a 911 operator deals with this stuff every day at work so LISTEN to the cops' instructions!
Wow, what a superb opening statement by the prosecutor. She was outstanding in describing what occurred in a passionate, easy-to-understand fashion. It was a factual story told well. A prosecutor has a difficult job. It requires skill, knowledge, experience, and style. This prosecutor is a pro.
@@DEEPERSTATER He stopped and waited 20 minutes, per the police recap. He had a medical emergency. A medical emergency is way too much for a Hannan to comprehend.
@@DEEPERSTATER. Listen to the facts . He was trying to get himself help traffic was bad & I would have done the same it was a fender bender that could have been resolved after I got the medical treatment I may of needed. He did wait. All the nut had to do was get a picture of the license plate , that’s it . He was unarmed & sitting in his car she also stopped him from going to get medical treatment What if he had a gun & shot her? Or what if he had passengers & they shot her ? She put herself in harms way & provoked violence, then shoots this man?? & lies about how & why… gtfoh with that BS. She’s a dirty wanna be cop !! Why she thought it was her duty or thought she had to run him down & then talk to him the way she did . She has no clue all the reasons why she should have never did this . I bet she’s a Karen everywhere & her family knows it . & she carrying that gun for more than protection!
Well it was ok but not perfect...most words she described was good but detain, no she didnt detain him. But either way her actions killed someone, no doubt
No kidding. And she had so many opportunities to just get his tag number and quit following him and go home. Instead she’s ruined everyone’s lives who were a part of this.
Lock this Vigilante girl up! She has no business being in society. She has no remorse I’ve watched this whole trial including her own testimony. She took this man’s life for no reason!! A “hit and run”?!
I didn't know the facts of this case until I heard this statement - she did a brilliant job laying it all out for the jury and really all of us watching this. She did this with clarity, passion, professionalism, specificity, and skill, telling the story of how this poor man died. This case really is outrageous.
Another case of a coward with a gun. She was told repeatedly to NOT follow him. She had her gun so she felt brave and continued to chase this man. Once she caught up to him, knowing she had a gun, she physically confronted a man that was in distress and shot him. Look at her now…looking like the coward that she is…crying for mercy. Sorry m’aam…you killed a man because you had a gun. Now you get to move in with a bunch of other cowards who also had guns and a bunch of really bad and dangerous people. Have fun.
@@laughs150 what he said about her is absolutely correct, but he seems to be putting more blame on the inanimate object than the actual perpetrator. maybe the car deserves some blame too since she drove it after the man 🤔
I stand corrected. She may get book or movie royalties and those should absolutely go toward civil matters in the the case, including wrongful death. I’m as pro 2a as the next guy, but I tell you, she over reacted in business she should have let be.@@jojo_1313
Um yeah but the woman your replying to is the one who fled the scene...The narcissist who could of very well killed someone...you do know the reply your replying to thinks the person who committed the hit and run is a lowlife narcissist...
I’m so lost with these comments! I’m guessing others have deleted. The proof is all their the guy left the scene after 20-30 mins the defendant not involved in said accident recklessly chased him down, cut him off and went to his window and started assaulting him. He tried to leave from being assaulted by an entitled 21yr old and she chose to pull her gun and shoot him. I’m confused no matter what happened she had no right to do anything she did beginning to end!
I remember a year ago I was home and I happened to be standing by my window and saw this a driver driving a little reckless and stopped almost in the middle of the road. I watched him act erratically and I was concerned for him and other road users cos I thought he was under the influence so I called emergency. Most drivers drove past hurling insults but none bothered to stop and checked; perhaps they thought he was drunk too. Eventually the police came and they tried talking to him calmly but he wasn’t budging so they dragged him out of the vehicle onto the ground, held his hand back to handcuff him and he was screaming and acting really strange. Long and short, it turned out the man was diabetic and was having some sort of episode. The ambulance came and they gave him some insulin and attended to him . They apologised profusely to him for the manhandling. At some point,I was scared they were going to shoot him. I didn’t realise how serious diabetes was until that day. Had this young woman left the issue to the police instead of taking matters into her own hands, the man wouldn’t have died and her life basically ruined.
😂😂😂😂 so it wasn’t even her car that got hit. Why was she even waiting with everyone if her car didn’t get hit? She’s going to spend 43 years in prison because she couldn’t mind her own business.😂😂😂 I love it
I heard about this when it happened. Just blows my mind how many people like this take the law into their own hands, when they're the last people who need to own a gun!!
Her having a gun is what I believe gave her the power and courage to follow this man. She never would’ve followed him if she hadn’t possessed a gun. She thought she was getting Good Samaritan award smh!
You do know that this took place not far from where the McMichael's case happened. Georgia has a long history of getting away with crimes like this. Not long ago she could have walked in a case just like this.
The fact that she has zero defense and didn’t want to take the plea agreement lets me know that she’s preserving her appeal rights. This case is a mirror of the Amaud Aubrey case and because of that case the GA state lawmakers repealed the citizen arrest law. So she literally has no legal defense
@@cynthiaconnors183 Almost every prosecutor will work with a defendant on a plea deal. Over 90% of cases are settled by the defendant pleading guilty and never going to trial. Jury trials cost a lot of money to investigate and conduct, so I don’t at all imagine this case being any different. I think it’s moreso the defendant not realizing how much in the wrong she was and how much time she will get once found guilty.
Her lawyer thought his client would get the 'zimmerman' treatment!! Zimmerman murdered an innocent young man and was found not guilty of murder!!! rekwife
Already misbehavior by the defense attorney. Pulling his socks up after the prosecution walks up. What a disgrace. Now he’s working on his handkerchief and sleeves. He’s a mess. He can’t handle it.

Or was she acting on concern of medical issue and then got out of control when medical issue turned him violent cause confusion, cause they said "someone he didn't know came up to truck", but he had to have known her from first scene but medical issue could have made him a threat to anyone and clearly he fought if shirt ripped. Seems shock response of picking up phone and saying really need ambulance since Last request hadn't been answered. I agree he shouldn't have been killed but could have been very scary when attacked and clearly she had already some incidents that she got a gun for protection, and maybe trying to get her point across by simplifying "ill shoot" since "drunk" concerns so indicates altered mental status. And reaching for something n fighting with her, could have been self defense, especially with a reachable weapon as proven. As well as attorney admitting unable to verify his prints were or weren't on gun due to unclear testing.
@@brandymittelstadt-molitor3622maybe she should have taken the license plate info, make and model of the car and leave it up to LE, like a normal person. What gave her the right to chase the man down, arm herself and approach his car? She wasn’t an off duty officer, she has no de-escalation training and clearly thought too highly of herself and her capabilities. Her actions were completely inexcusable and I would fight like a hellcat if a stranger approached me while armed.
@16BitDungeon he was having a medical emergency, was disoriented and confused. It was identified at the accident scene but she decided to "police" him.
@@16BitDungeonThat deserves a gunshot? In any other country than the United States, this would be a jaw-dropping case. “Texas justice”, “medieval justice”? It’s 2024. We have entire systems of interconnected bureaucracy to punish hit and runners. A damaged car is not worth a human life. This is a behavioural disorder.
This opening statement is going to be a hard act to follow! I live in South Georgia and I know way too many people who carry guns thinking it keeps them safe, but when you’re a hothead with narcissistic tendencies that gun just gets you in trouble.
Amazing speech by the prosecutor. She really knows how to put words together in a fine form with detail. I already see this trial being short before the defendant is found guilty of all charges due to the evidence the prosecutor mentioned, the number of witnesses, and the prosecutor's excellent speech.
Why is she going through a trial. She is so guilty. She was told not to follow him, yet she defied those orders and proceeded to kill him. Case closed. JMO
Your comment/question (without a question mark) is far scarier than what she did. This is America little one, we have due process, not TH-cam armchair warrior justice law. Grow up.
The prosecutor’s passion for this case and family shines through! She did NOT have to rehearse her opening statement. Very well done! My condolences to the Herring Family! Hannah Payne be grateful for the mercy Yah gave you! I pray you are humbled and eventually learn how wrong your actions were and repent! ✝️🙏🏾
Hmmm yeah very interesting the defense lawyer refuses to stop fidgeting. So annoying and unprofessional. And yeah his facial expressions🙄 I know he’s just doing his job…but his non verbal communication says a lot about his level of patience. Which probably is pretty low. Anyway, go prosecutors!! Get this woman in jail for a looooong time.
Her having the nerve to tremble & and cry, saying how "her life flashed before her eyes when she was being held against her will" ..... in the face of his family is VILE. He was the one held against his will. She is vile.
Let this be a lesson to all Karen’s out there obsessed with taking the law into their own hands! You may find yourself fighting for your freedom in a court of law!! I’m looking forward to this trail and the verdict. Great opening statement by the prosecutor!
Simply from a legal/trial standpoint, this prosecutor did an excellent job of not only creating a coherent roadmap for the jury (which is actually more difficult than it sounds), she also caught the jury's attention with strategic and inflammatory language. Good trial attorneys are always fascinating to watch.
@@KeithSudano Oh I totally agree....I hope you got that from my post!!! That is exactly why I wanted to hear from defense. After I made that comment I did go watch the defense opening statement. Either they don't have much of a defense or he just screwed up. If you haven't seen it, he spends first 5-8 minutes on some wierd analogy about target shooting with a bow and then doesn't do much else. Yikes
Officers in the line of duty with the right to pull a trigger have shed tears over the fact that someone died due to their actions, no matter what the justification. This is someone with no authority who took a voluntary action, and now someone is dead because of her and she has never once she’d a tear, said sorry or even called his death a tragedy. She is violence and entitlement incarnate.
Narcissists like to use their cars as weapons they are also always right. They also never will accept responsibility when they are in the wrong. Even when caught in the middle of a crime in front of eye witnesses. It's always someone else's fault. I learned this fact from my father who was a narcissist. He loved to tail people and drive like a maniac. On the way to my wedding he almost killed me and my mother going 80 miles an hour in a 55 mph zone. Stressed out for no reason. Insane.
My ex used to do this 🫠. If we were in the car and something set him off, he would start driving like a maniac. If it was something external that set him off like traffic or a pedestrian all I could do was grit my teeth and hope for the best. IfI had said or done something that set him off (like existing) he wouldn't stop until I was crying and begging him to please let me out of the car. I look back at it now, a few years older, a lot wiser, in a healthy marriage with someone who respects me and wonder, "Why did I tolerate that?", like the woman I was when I was with him is a stranger and I feel bad for her but it doesn't feel like it was me. Idk narcissists really do a number on your head
@sashagaster9381 don't know. He would never go to a psychiatrist. I definitely think he was adhd. My brother had problems in school. My neice and her kids have it.
Unless he’s directly being disrespectful to the Judge, she will his actions do him in. Most importantly, this is about facts and the law. His “silent “ obnoxiousness is a non issue for the Vourt.
I’m from Australia it’s hard to get firearms but not impossible for this would not have happened in my city we have road incidents but not like this take care
@@caveman4598 Have a great time in Australia sir. Thank for replying to my comments, this is the only country in the world that have so many weapons on the street.
I've been waiting for this trial for so long. I'm glad this didn't get swept under the rug. She has been walking around free for years, while this man has been unjustly killed and his family left to mourn while they wait for justice.
That is the absolute worst defense attorney I've ever seen ! The head shaking, silent scoffing, smiling, silent laughing, swing the chair etc. was very unprofessional. If I was the judge I would've stopped the opening statement, excused the jury and said something to him. I'm very surprised the judge didn't say something to him....he has his opportunity to tell his side and doing what he was doing during the prosecution statement was just so unprofessional.
People like this make me think that wait their whole like for the moment they’ll be able to take another human’s life. Playing vigilante like life is a movie!
I have a few men in my family who are in their 60s now and with varying troubles related to diabetes. Mr. Herring looked like he could be one of them. This poor man suffered a medical emergency, terrifying enough on its own, while operating a vehicle. To know he met his end because of this psychotic woman is so heartbreaking.
When I first learned just a few facts about this case, I thought that I might be somewhat sympathetic towards the defendant. However, the more I learn about it, the more I understand the muti-count conviction. The jury got it right.
The prosecutor opening statement was to the point! To explain it thoroughly each step by step what took place was excellent! A good understanding for those jurors!
There was no need for a gun to be introduced into this escalating traffic drama that went way too far. To think, simple basic self control would have avoided this whole tragic story. A traffic story that would be soon forgotten and life would have moved on.
If Mr. Herring was about to merge into traffic when she blocked him, the truck would have already been gear before the defendant got there. He had issues starting the truck at the original accident and after driving it in that condition he would have had even more issues restarting it if he had turned it off. She said he just mashed the gas. It makes since that the only reason that the truck wasn't moving was because he had his foot on the break and when Hannah Payne approached him and started fighting with him causing his foot to come off the break causing the truck to moved forward a few feet.
What in the world was this woman thinking? No self control. Now has all this time to think about her actions. Lord have mercy. My condolences to both families because both will never be the same
As a previous 911 dispatch we always tell people doin that to STOP because if the person being chased is in an accident the person responsible is the chaser…… LE will catch up to the person eventually… its only an accident…. Sad all around.
I'm a defense attorney in California and the first thing I said when I saw this is that I would have tried to get her a plea deal for a charge of voluntary manslaughter. 20 years. It may not have worked but advising your client to go to trial on a case that has so much evidence and witness testimony stacked up against them is negligent. It's up to the client if they want to proceed to trial but after I would have finished explaining to her that she was absolutely going to prison, she was absolutely going to be convicted, she was absolutely going to do the maximum, I think she'd have probably taken the deal.
"Her authority comes solely from audacity." Brilliant line!!!
I agree. Will forever remember that line!!!!!
Yes! Really is one to remember

I agree he shouldn't have been killed but could have been very scary when attacked and clearly she had already some incidents that she got a gun for protection, and maybe trying to get her point across by simplifying "ill shoot" since "drunk" concerns so indicates altered mental status. And reaching for something n fighting with her, could have been self defense, especially with a reachable weapon as proven.
As well as attorney admitting unable to verify his prints were or weren't on gun due to unclear testing.
@@brandymittelstadt-molitor3622maybe she should have taken the license plate info, make and model of the car and leave it up to LE, like a normal person. What gave her the right to chase the man down, arm herself and approach his car? She wasn’t an off duty officer, she has no de-escalation training and clearly thought too highly of herself and her capabilities. Her actions were completely inexcusable and I would fight like a hellcat if a stranger approached me while armed.
Oh she did
Another Karen not minding her own business and now this innocent man is dead . When will this entitled behavior stop
@@16BitDungeon Two wrongs make a right?
typical do gooder, can't mind her own business
@16BitDungeon he was having a medical emergency, was disoriented and confused. It was identified at the accident scene but she decided to "police" him.
@16BitDungeon you clearly have not looked into why it happened
@@16BitDungeonThat deserves a gunshot? In any other country than the United States, this would be a jaw-dropping case.
“Texas justice”, “medieval justice”? It’s 2024. We have entire systems of interconnected bureaucracy to punish hit and runners.
A damaged car is not worth a human life. This is a behavioural disorder.
That prosecutor spoke for the victim LOUD and CLEAR with emotions! Great job prosecutor!
This opening statement is going to be a hard act to follow! I live in South Georgia and I know way too many people who carry guns thinking it keeps them safe, but when you’re a hothead with narcissistic tendencies that gun just gets you in trouble.
Amazing speech by the prosecutor. She really knows how to put words together in a fine form with detail.
I already see this trial being short before the defendant is found guilty of all charges due to the evidence the prosecutor mentioned, the number of witnesses, and the prosecutor's excellent speech.
Word spaghetti.
@@ryshellso526ah but spaghetti with juuuuust the right amount of seasonings, sauce, and a spicy meatball on top to come out just right! *chef's kiss*
Why is she going through a trial. She is so guilty. She was told not to follow him, yet she defied those orders and proceeded to kill him. Case closed. JMO
& yelled “get the f*ck outta the car get f*ck outta the car”
Your comment/question (without a question mark) is far scarier than what she did. This is America little one, we have due process, not TH-cam armchair warrior justice law. Grow up.
Please then tell everyone that you are on the side of Treyvon Martin and against George Zimmerman! 😢
Unless the defendant pleads guilty, there has to be a trial. At least in the US.
She was offered a plea deal but didn’t take it. Deal was 25 to Life. If found guilty at this trial she’ll rot in jail.
The prosecutor’s passion for this case and family shines through! She did NOT have to rehearse her opening statement. Very well done! My condolences to the Herring Family! Hannah Payne be grateful for the mercy Yah gave you! I pray you are humbled and eventually learn how wrong your actions were and repent! ✝️🙏🏾
Ase
Sorry who is Yah?
@@chadbosko8935 Yahweh
Hmmm yeah very interesting the defense lawyer refuses to stop fidgeting. So annoying and unprofessional. And yeah his facial expressions🙄 I know he’s just doing his job…but his non verbal communication says a lot about his level of patience. Which probably is pretty low.
Anyway, go prosecutors!! Get this woman in jail for a looooong time.
Her having the nerve to tremble & and cry, saying how "her life flashed before her eyes when she was being held against her will" ..... in the face of his family is VILE. He was the one held against his will. She is vile.
This woman needs to go to jail. This woman felt she was entitled to do whatever she wanted too.
Let this be a lesson to all Karen’s out there obsessed with taking the law into their own hands! You may find yourself fighting for your freedom in a court of law!!
I’m looking forward to this trail and the verdict. Great opening statement by the prosecutor!
This defendant is definitely 100% guilty! When you see her face, she is full of guilt and shame.
She may have shame…but no guilt
@@CoolHandLuke1117I see neither. She's just unsure of her fate, so her emotions are all over the place
She’s also full of cheeseburgers
@@CoolHandLuke1117 guilty on eight counts😂😂😂😂😂
@@chigemini4162😂😂😂 she sure of her faith now
You can't claim self defence (which she is) if the person you shot is fleeing.
Correct and also not self defence if you fire more than one shot
Watching her defense attorney smirking is infuriating....he isnt smirking anymore. Wonder how tough Hannah will be in jail. Hope she is miserable.
The ultimate Karen.....
That Defense Lawyer seems super professional sitting there with all the facial expressions ....Nice
He looks bored.
😂😂
Doesn't he look a bit like John Gotti? Don't tell that to the jury though.🤣
It's got to be a bad sign when your defense attorney can't control their nervous ticks 🫠 She probably should have taken a plea 😬
Plus taking time to adjust his socks and trousers 🇬🇧 (pants in US speak)
I would like to hug that judge she looks so kind.
Doesn't she though!
She was firm when she dished out 43yr sentence.
Defense laughing is not a good look. At the end of the day, someone is dead because of your client. Wise up and act professional
He probably wishes she took the deal
@@annmariemccooey6731He's laughing because he knows his client goose is cooked.
Simply from a legal/trial standpoint, this prosecutor did an excellent job of not only creating a coherent roadmap for the jury (which is actually more difficult than it sounds), she also caught the jury's attention with strategic and inflammatory language. Good trial attorneys are always fascinating to watch.
I wonder how she feels listening to the truth coming at her faster than lightening?
Boy.....I sure hope the defense opening statement has some good rebuttals....this sounds like a slam dunk case so far!!!
Yes of course, because prosecutors never lie.
@@KeithSudanowell in this case it’s pretty clear cut
@@KeithSudano Oh I totally agree....I hope you got that from my post!!! That is exactly why I wanted to hear from defense. After I made that comment I did go watch the defense opening statement. Either they don't have much of a defense or he just screwed up. If you haven't seen it, he spends first 5-8 minutes on some wierd analogy about target shooting with a bow and then doesn't do much else. Yikes
That is the sweetest and most adorable Judge I have ever seen in my entire life.
The prosecuting attorney made an exemplary opening statement. She was explicit with all the facts about this case.
They told her to leave him alone. Let the police handle it. Didnt listen.
she watched too many movies starring Gary Busey.
Officers in the line of duty with the right to pull a trigger have shed tears over the fact that someone died due to their actions, no matter what the justification.
This is someone with no authority who took a voluntary action, and now someone is dead because of her and she has never once she’d a tear, said sorry or even called his death a tragedy. She is violence and entitlement incarnate.
Narcissists like to use their cars as weapons they are also always right. They also never will accept responsibility when they are in the wrong. Even when caught in the middle of a crime in front of eye witnesses. It's always someone else's fault. I learned this fact from my father who was a narcissist. He loved to tail people and drive like a maniac. On the way to my wedding he almost killed me and my mother going 80 miles an hour in a 55 mph zone. Stressed out for no reason. Insane.
He was stressed out cuz he was about to lose control of you. Sorry you had to go through that.
My ex used to do this 🫠. If we were in the car and something set him off, he would start driving like a maniac. If it was something external that set him off like traffic or a pedestrian all I could do was grit my teeth and hope for the best.
IfI had said or done something that set him off (like existing) he wouldn't stop until I was crying and begging him to please let me out of the car.
I look back at it now, a few years older, a lot wiser, in a healthy marriage with someone who respects me and wonder, "Why did I tolerate that?", like the woman I was when I was with him is a stranger and I feel bad for her but it doesn't feel like it was me. Idk narcissists really do a number on your head
@@VisionSoundPDX yes well I finally figured that out years later.
@sashagaster9381 don't know. He would never go to a psychiatrist. I definitely think he was adhd. My brother had problems in school. My neice and her kids have it.
Yeah the man this woman shot would be the narcissist who fled the seen...she shot the narcissist...
150 years in prison will do.
Correction. She’s getting life!!!
@@zosukumakunene8761 How about life + 150 years
Very respectfully, this is an open and shut case, the defendant is guilty and shall be sentenced for murder.
If that was my courtroom, no way I'd allow opposing counsel to sit like that while court was in session.
Unless he’s directly being disrespectful to the Judge, she will his actions do him in. Most importantly, this is about facts and the law. His “silent “ obnoxiousness is a non issue for the Vourt.
She threw her life away for a wreck that didn’t involve her! Completely crazy
Rest in peace 🥺
The power of having a gun, make you feel like an all power house.
I’m from Australia it’s hard to get firearms but not impossible for this would not have happened in my city we have road incidents but not like this take care
@@caveman4598 Have a great time in Australia sir. Thank for replying to my comments, this is the only country in the world that have so many weapons on the street.
Her “lawyer” looks like a used car salesman. My apologies to used car salesmen everywhere. He’s an embarrassment to all attorneys.
Pork chops wishing she would of just minded her own business, called the police and went home.
It looks like she is just a spoiled brat of a kid.
I've been waiting for this trial for so long. I'm glad this didn't get swept under the rug. She has been walking around free for years, while this man has been unjustly killed and his family left to mourn while they wait for justice.
Life in prison for that kind of crime that is first degree murder.
Please tell me the Defense Attorney is being held accountable for his outrageous behavior.
That is the absolute worst defense attorney I've ever seen ! The head shaking, silent scoffing, smiling, silent laughing, swing the chair etc. was very unprofessional. If I was the judge I would've stopped the opening statement, excused the jury and said something to him. I'm very surprised the judge didn't say something to him....he has his opportunity to tell his side and doing what he was doing during the prosecution statement was just so unprofessional.
Unless he is disrespecting the Judge, she will not give them any reason to use on appeal. The jurors know what they are seeing.
People like this make me think that wait their whole like for the moment they’ll be able to take another human’s life. Playing vigilante like life is a movie!
She thought she was going to be Mark does a hero but it backfired
This lady needs to go to anger management class in prison
Confirmed!!! She’s now getting a Sponsored lifetime of anger management paid for by a State Prison life sentence!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👍 Bye Hannah!!!!!👋👋👋👋
She fixed that one
Amazing delivery! She understood her assignment. The defense attorney is such an unprofessional bozo.
I have a few men in my family who are in their 60s now and with varying troubles related to diabetes. Mr. Herring looked like he could be one of them. This poor man suffered a medical emergency, terrifying enough on its own, while operating a vehicle. To know he met his end because of this psychotic woman is so heartbreaking.
Speechless
When being a Karen backfires.
You in danger girl…which means “you going to prison”
My 9yo after briefly hearing this case in the background goes " I bet when she was in school her classmates called her Hannah Payne in the butt" 😂😂😂😭.
😂😂😂😂
Little miss thought she was being a real live hometown hero 😂 she was sadly mistaken
For a pickup truck
This trial is a waste of taxpayer's money. She's guilty already.
Her arrogance lead her to go to trial
When I first learned just a few facts about this case, I thought that I might be somewhat sympathetic towards the defendant. However, the more I learn about it, the more I understand the muti-count conviction. The jury got it right.
lol the defendant “ even tho she showed no remorse “ acted more professional then her own lawyer 😂😂😂
The prosecutor opening statement was to the point! To explain it thoroughly each step by step what took place was excellent! A good understanding for those jurors!
The defence lawyer must be earning minimum wage with those facial expressions, absolute clown.
Was this not the evil lady that was on the phone with 911 while she chased the victim?
Pay attention next time.
It’s funny how the defense was laughing and now his client is crying later 😂😂
She needs life with no parole bye Felicia
She didn’t take the plea & she was charged with malice murder & felony murder
There was no need for a gun to be introduced into this escalating traffic drama that went way too far. To think, simple basic self control would have avoided this whole tragic story. A traffic story that would be soon forgotten and life would have moved on.
There was no need to chase him and block him in
Imagine there were no witnesses. The police would have relied on her story that the guy attacked her and tried to grab her gun.
If Mr. Herring was about to merge into traffic when she blocked him, the truck would have already been gear before the defendant got there. He had issues starting the truck at the original accident and after driving it in that condition he would have had even more issues restarting it if he had turned it off. She said he just mashed the gas. It makes since that the only reason that the truck wasn't moving was because he had his foot on the break and when Hannah Payne approached him and started fighting with him causing his foot to come off the break causing the truck to moved forward a few feet.
Great opening. Prosecutor got straight to the point!!!
Allegedly?. Mr Herring is Dead and it was her gun in her hand. Ain’t no Allegedly
That has to be one of the most immature defense attorneys I’ve ever saw in my life.
The defense lawyer doing all that smirking while she's giving her opening was tacky and couldn't have done his client any favors.
What in the world was this woman thinking? No self control. Now has all this time to think about her actions. Lord have mercy. My condolences to both families because both will never be the same
That was a phenomenal opening statement
As a previous 911 dispatch we always tell people doin that to STOP because if the person being chased is in an accident the person responsible is the chaser…… LE will catch up to the person eventually… its only an accident…. Sad all around.
She should have tried to make a plea deal for 10-15 years. My feeling is this jury is going to give her the max punishment.
the just doesn’t give the sentence.
1 count was malice murder.. found guilty(life is mandatory on that count)
I'm a defense attorney in California and the first thing I said when I saw this is that I would have tried to get her a plea deal for a charge of voluntary manslaughter. 20 years. It may not have worked but advising your client to go to trial on a case that has so much evidence and witness testimony stacked up against them is negligent. It's up to the client if they want to proceed to trial but after I would have finished explaining to her that she was absolutely going to prison, she was absolutely going to be convicted, she was absolutely going to do the maximum, I think she'd have probably taken the deal.
This is just now going to trial? It seems like forever ago it happened.Lock her up & throw away the key!
after all that she still said HE pulled the trigger 😂
She ain't in nobody's business today.
People never hire him as your lawyer, you’re would be screwed . Period.
Death Penalty plus 2 million dollar fine.
unfortunately shes a women so shes gonna get a slap on the wrist watch 10 years in prison or not guilty just watch women get away with to much
another entitled karen
She thought she was going to get away with murder but but it back fired on her.
Hannan Payne sure used the language of a Christian..
This girl killed this man period!
