Leaving those poor kids alone with their dead mom is the real crime here! That’s so f*cked up!!!
Did he know she was dead... he stated he thought she was sleeping.
Another fecktard not watching the vid.
The music is really distracting
It's to loud!😮

It’s only at the beginning for like 20 seconds ?
Lolololol@@haleycpoke
@@haleycpokeya that. Ppl can find anything to complain about.
As someone's whose parents are major alcoholics this is not abnormal if they are alcoholics.
Sounds like he was on his way to get his last few.
MY SISTER IS ALCOHOLIC SHES BECAME A MONSTER
Now if he would have went and bought a cake saying "recently single" I might be more suspicious.
I know so many normal alcoholics who never are abusive just lost
@@lancethrust9488shame
Drinking alcohol NEVER involves anything positive or constructive.
Therapy is more expensive
what about someone numbing themselves before an amputation in the days before anesthesia?
@@SlashHarkenUltra All of your comments are 屋葉輪🤡.

@@G-host0069but is it??? 🤔🤔
She said "you know" about 3000 times
That's their expert lol
Thank you, it was as if someone is scratching a nail on a chalkboard.
They drink alcohol like you breathe air.
Men? Murderers? Husbands? WHO ARE “THEY”?
@@karabinas I think they meant alcoholics.
@@karabinas😂 right
Nah he means Hispanics
Just because someone is an alcoholic doesn’t mean they’re a murderer lol.
I'm gonna reserve my opinion after there's more details. If he and or her are alcoholics, there could be so many factors. RIP either way it's sad, especially for the children.
I had a friend that became a pathetic alkie and she had 7 sphinx cats that she loved and adored. After she and her husband lost their beautiful house within walking distance to the beach due to boozing and pill popping her drinking was all that mattered. The cats she would do anything for, didn't matter anymore! They became sick and she didn't care and they began dying off. At one point, one of her favorites died and she left him on the floor and used the door to push him out of the way and then her foot to push the rest of the way out because she was sick of stepping over the poor dead cat. She was too busy partying and getting hammered! A few years earlier she would have never let this happen to her cats that were sick, let alone leave one on the floor! All she had to do was wrap the poor thing into a towel and place him into a box! In her drunken mind, she didn't want to be bothered with it and as she said, I didn't have time to deal with it. The poor cat laid there until late the following evening when she woke up from her all night and the next morning bender!
So yes, her drunken husband could do this with his wife! When you are a hardcore alkie there is nothing more important than getting drunk and drinking until you pass out. I will deal with it tomorrow, ha
@@johnsmith-ug5tp nice rant
Jeeeeesh you love them cats don’t ya
Why is this lady laughing
I said the same thing. She was so giddy and not answering questions. Didn't offer anything of value for a defense lawyer.
Yes she was creepy not proffesional. really messed up
@@cuccicucci4480that's Sky Lozarro, Khouri Ritchens former attorney
I agree, extremely unprofessional. They should not bring her back, her giggles are disgusting and the amount of “you know” she kept repeating was irritating.
She is completely sick! Unprofessional, lacks empathy for the victims family, and should never be put on TV !!
Why is the attorney Sky laughing at this case? I’ve never seen someone so unprofessional and unprepared for an interview in a case so serious on this channel before.
Not to mention she’s a Lawyer in the State and didn’t know if they were misdemeanors or felonies. She was so distracting it took away from the case of Autumn and her poor kids being left alone while their mom was lifeless at the bottom of the stairs.
I’m always very fair and respectful. This was embarrassing to watch.
There is way more to this case than Sky Lazaro made it out to be. She said Ummm and you know in every single sentence.
When she laughed at Autumn sister that’s when I was lost with why is this attorney on this episode?
I hope that you redo this episode and give the victim more love and compassion as well as her kids and family.
Her husband has a past of DV and I don’t feel it was an accident like Sky seems to have already come to the conclusion of. Autumn was being very vocal about their relationship and the trouble they were having.
I’m sorry if I woke up with my loved one at the bottom of the stairs I would immediately call for help and render Aid not call an Uber to go get more booze and leave my children home alone.
Obviously she's thinking about something 🤓
Damn. They're laughing about this. Multiple times. Wow!
L&C - Please don't have this lady on here. She's always distracted and doesn't seem to take things or deem these murders seriously with her laughing, you know?
You know?
If they are heavy drinkers might be a common thing to see her passed out on the floor. If that's the case then he might of really thought she was asleep. I guess we'll find out eventually.
“You know” is overly used in this episode 💀
What a great nurse! Having children with an abusive drunk/awful human being, exposing your children to an adult under-the-influence, and being under-the-influence around your 1 and 4-year-old children.
What is wrong with you? Is what happened to her not proof that she probably knew if she left he would kill her?
Carlos: "You cant park there"
Whoever edited this is incompetent with audio mixes
Nothing takes priority over a beer run. *NOTHING.....*
We all mourn in our own way...
Idk what more the prosecuter needs to charge him with murder.
What is going on in Utah?
Mormonism
See, it isn't just Florida, Ohio, Arizona and New Mexico.
@@nicbro3831 I was going to say Christianity!!
Almost like this doesn’t happen anywhere else? NPC.
You can't blame him for wanting a drink to deal with the stress
This is the same attorney that represented Kouri Richins who stands accused of unaliving her husband. I don't think she is still representing her but I remember in her first arraignment this attorney was about as blase' as she is here in this interview. I wouldn't be using her to give her opinion on cases. She is smiling and laughing through it. I don't see anything funny about this poor woman's death.
She should've left him the first time he put his hands on her. Either way, she's still the victim, and I feel so bad for her and those kids. 🙏🏿
We don’t know if she used to manipulate him and was addicted to the toxicity that their relationship clearly had. Shame on you, shamey McShamey shame shame shame
Lol i was thinking a beer run? If you go into a store and walk out or run out without paying is a beer run
Depends where you come from, I guess. I know a beer run as you run out to get beer, not run out with stolen beer.
No. A beer run means you’re going to the store to get beer. 🤦♂️
He is guilty as f**k!
Some people just accept death
Prove it
Well the beer wasn't going to fetch itself.
This is a sticky situation. Curious to see what happens here. So sad for her family and her babies.
So he hit her while they were engaged, but she on to marry him? 😮
Rip to the mother. Can't even imagine the children's pain and terror.
Just came from a new Law and Crime Ruby Franke video. What is with Utah?!
He was under-the-influence of alcohol and is probably a habitual drinker = his mind is blown. OF COURSE he wasn't thinking sensibly or humanely.
He probably knew it was his last
That’s a murder! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Maybe. But until the autopsy results and more definitive evidence is known, it’s not possible to know for sure. Sometimes a sleepy alcoholic can fall down the stairs, but regardless, the husband should’ve called 911.
@ murder 🤦🏻♀️
@@LisaOG so you were there ? Why did he kill her then ?
@@gorillacookies3171 did you look at that nasty lookin pic!!!! It’s definitely a murder!!!!
@gorillacookies3171 clearly you were there then
Where is his picture @
its a murder
Prove it
Is it me or can you hear purring throughout the video 🤣
🐈
I heard it and seriously thought my stomach was growling.
@ 🤣🤣 same until I moved the phone right next to my ear
Who does a run but a guilty person or a "frat' guy who wants to forget about things through alcohol.
Maybe he thought she was really sleeping!!It's not like he covered it up, it's an odd situation to be in,I believe we just have to let the evidence tell the story..... In between time we just pray for everyone involved🙏🏿🕊️
It's not like she was going anywhere. Everyone grieves differently.
The children weren't going anywhere either, right?
🤦♀️
It’s really hard for a 39 year old woman to die falling down the stairs. Let’s see what her injuries are..he probably has some role in this. What a horrible human being no matter what.
You can call a wellness check on me. Just make sure sign your will, and tell all your loved ones goodbye.
Hey, at least he didn't drive drunk. ha
Utah cuttin’ up here lately.
Whoa Sky Lozarro.. wonder what happened between her and Khouri Ritchens
Yes! That would be intresting to know!
✨ Plus, a history of domestic violence in front of the children!!!⚖️
It looks like he probably staged the scene. He either pushed her down the stairs or he possibly strangled her and placed her body at the bottom of the stair case to make it look like she accidentally slipped and fell. He didn't think about the autopsy is going to find out her true cause of death because he was in a rush or a rage so he panicked and covered her body up . Thats what it looks like to me.
Best case scenario is he has horrible judgement. Worst case scenario is he's a murderer. Either way, he is definately a threat to himself and others. He needs to be locked up and given alcoholism treatment in jail. Looking at his wife dying on the ground and going "I need a beer" and then driving out to get one and leaving the kids is not normal behavior. It indicates that his primary coping mechanism is alcohol.
Autumn sought medical treatment when she was pregnant after Carlos pushed her down the stairs a few years before her death. Utah failed to protect Autumn time after time
But in his defense I can't think of a better time for a beer.
True crime shows highlight both the brilliance and flaws of investigators. 🕵♂
Bringing Skye on for this case, and having her talk about how *some* families can’t believe accidents. We know what you’re doing, you’re not clever
That criminal defense attorney resembles Diamanda Galas.
Irritating music, by
B double E double R U N….beer run!!
In his defense: He found his wife at precisely Beer O' Clock. Whaddayagunna do?!? 😎
Why were the police there did i miss something? Also at least he got an uber to get more beer and didnt kill anyone else going to the store.
What a peach of a husband. Wow. 🤯
Music it terribly overpowering.
Ohh, its stopped.
What kind of beer
Bud light
Beer 30
Classic Carlos
"You know, you know, you know ...."
Maybe he’s irresponsible.
Sooo he told the Police that he came back from a beer run, there she was laying at the bottom of the stairs...never left the house, This is Homicide 💯.
Rip
Mormons drink beer?
If you’re a Jack, yes
We're not all Mormons. Less than 50% of the states population are cult members.
Don’t think they’re Mormon.
Carlos Mercado is hardly a Mormon name. Very unlikly.
@@darkwitnesslxx
What about "Smith" is that a Mormon name?
Usually it’s the husband or the wife …
Alcoholic
"tuhhh" sounds awful.
*There ARE people coming forward.
Is that the lawyer from the kori richings case?!?!?!😮
The woman being interviewed is a spittin' image of Linkin Park's new singer, with different color hair
Either they fell asleep, and they have no idea what happened officer, or, the mystery masked attacker came, did it, left. Looks bad for hubby to me.
Lots of lots of husbands/ boyfriends unliving women lately
Ah yeah, here comes the feminist. I can give you a bigger list for whamen.
The female has to serve the male, Act up and we will discipline you.
This is Kouri Richens ex lawyer on the right
NO BRAINER .. STEVIE WONDER CAM SEE THAT HE DID IT
AUTOPSY RESULTS?!?!!! 😕😕
That nose ring is awful. So unprofessional. Looks like a booger 😂
🤬🤦🏻♀️
That’s dark
If he has one of those Edgar haircut , he's guilty. 😮
@@gregallen9011 🤣🤣
Is that Kouri Richin's former lawyer?
She was beautiful …. Tragic 😔
I’m so sorry but this story 😂😂
Oh my goodness… This is so painfully long-winded. You young girls are new to this “Game“ you lack vocabulary emotion you’re running out of things to say this is painful to watch or to listen to. Speaking to your “network“ you need to think before you feature newbies everybody needs a chance, but this is First page features, and they are not equipped to deal with such cases at this time in their career. This makes it sound so juvenile and not all of your audience is between 20 and 25 years of age. Give them time to learn from the pros! Too many hems and haws, ummm ummmms, and and and know you know like like like
Based on
It all comes down to horrible parenting, all these cases usually involves some form of dysfunction in the home
*involve
Most of these cases involve alcohol and/or marijuana and drug use = the culture of this wonderful country
why did the police show up at the door? How did they know to drop by?
Wife’s coworker called in a welfare check after she didn’t come to work that morning
Maybe watch the video and you would know.
@@Carl_McMelvin your momma didnt raise you right. I'm so sorry for you.

Ayoooo?? That’s my ex 😭
🧢🧢🧢
@lillexus5589 it's someone's ex 🤷🏾♀️
You’ve never had s3x or a gf so don’t lie
Don't jump to conclusions! He isn't guilty of murder because he smacked her around in the past. If they do charge him with murder, as a juror, I would need to see the results of her BAC and what type of injuries she sustained. If she was hammered and there is no evidence on her skin that he choked or grabbed her arms or wrists it looks like an accidental death to me.
Uh wouldn’t you call 911 when your wife is dead? Don’t jump to conclusions? He left his kids alone with their dead mother to buy beer? Are you okay?
@haleycpoke He's probably an alcoholic. Addicts do bizarre things to prioritize their addiction over everything else. This alone isn't evidence that he murdered anyone.
@@haleycpoke You arent a pathetic down and out alkie or lived with someone that is or you would know that people that are hardcore drunks that their boozin takes priority over everything and everybody! The same type of people that leave their little kids alone on the house with nO FOOD and no heat while they go on a bender. Their mind is warped. ha
@@haleycpoke If he did murder her, then why didnt he flee? Looks like a case of both getting hammered and she took a header down the steps or maybe a heart attack. If there was clear evidence at the scene he would have been charged and they sure as heck wouldn't have released him.
Bruhhh
Not to be morbid, but her name is "Autumn", which is literally another name for "fall". So maybe it was her destiny?
Shame shame shame shamey Mcshame on you and your shame

Bimbo at law Lazaro
Sometimes men turn to drinking after their wife cheats. I’m not blaming him, I’m just saying I hope he gets the help he needs! ❤️🙏
We have no proof she cheated and plenty of proof he was always an abuser
Always the same subject : she cheated.
Every. Single. Time.
You are obsessed with cheating women.
