Lapel microphones are advisable for lawyers that like to walk around the courtroom
Why do these lawyers WALK AWAY FROM THE MIC.....SO ANNOYING
Because it’s not for you. It’s for the jurors. And for standing in front of the pos evil defendant. Rip shanti.
Audio is horrible when he walks away
Great closing argument. Thanks for a great case.
I always expect so much more of a judge in behavior and then I see one like this or some lunatic clip of an insane judge on social media and I realize being a judge is no guarantee of respectability at all. And the defendant is creeeeeeepy.
I agree with you. I am dismayed at the number of judges who use their phones during the trial. What have you got to do to get a judge to do their due diligence in the case they are presiding over, pay extra?
What can this judge be doing? Preparing her instructions to the jury? Pay attention to the case in front of you. So many judges I have seen lately seem to be “phoning it in”. Get a more fulfilling job, ladies and gentlemen. Being a judge is obviously not doing it for you! Judges like the Murdaugh judge and the Brooks judge are few and far between.
The judge is always listening. They have to be able to respond to an objection by opposing council.
How do you know she’s not listening. First of all she’s not always on her phone. Second of all judges are very smart people who can do a few things at a time.
Ladies - pay close attention to how a man treats you as you move out of the early honeymoon stage, and really get to know him. Financial meanness is a huge red flag you should not ignore!
Shanti was a beautiful, successful, intelligent and much-loved woman - she was highly eligible, for many reasons. But this parasite (as her first husband rightly called Tronnes), was primarily after her money only.
Shanti was a smart woman, but she was not wise to this creep's true intentions - he didn't love her. Sadly the smartest women can miss, or wilfully ignore many red flags in a man's behaviour, because they don't want to face the disappointing reality of who that man is. Far too often women think they can/should fix everything that's wrong in a toxic relationship, and take far too much responsibility for the fact it's failing.
After one year of marriage, she was living like a squatter in a house her husband had gutted and made uninhabitable. It didn't even have a working kitchen! What's more, Tronnes owned the house outright, and never added her name to the property as co-owner. If that wasn't bad enough, he never worked a single day throughout their union - and despite having persuaded her to marry him by falsely claiming to be a multi millionaire, she was the sole breadwinner.
Shanti began to notice every time groceries had to be paid for, or a restaurant bill arrived at the table, Tronnes took a step back, and it was always her credit card that came out. Why did she tolerate that? She even switched the beneficiary of her $350k life insurance policy from her beloved only son Jackson, to Tronnes - no doubt at his persuading. Total madness!
The relationship was so bad, they clearly weren't even having sex any more, living not just in separate beds, but in separate wings of the house. Police discovered Tronnes was a member of a same sex sauna/bath house, a fact his wife was unaware of. Poor Shanti must have been desperately lonely and unhappy with this man.
The trigger for the domestic murder is only too predictable - Tronnes knew Shanti would not tolerate the miserable life he had given her for much longer. On the day he brutally beat and strangled her to death, I suspect she told him of her intention to leave him. Divorce would have meant dividing their assets, but murder would get rid of the woman he'd never loved (narcissistic abusers care only for themselves), and get him a big pay-day.
Shanti made the fatal mistake of sleeping at the wheel, and clinging to an abusive relationship long past its expiration date. She's not the first woman to make that mistake and be killed because she stayed with her abuser too long, allowing him the access and opportunity to kill her - and sadly, she won't be the last.
I am so sick of hearing of domestic murders of fabulous women, by inadequate, toxic males. Please ladies, watch and learn from these tragedies, and don't let it happen to you. Pay close attention to how your partner treats you, and how the relationship makes you feel. Are you happy and secure, do you feel loved, valued and respected? Do you laugh together, talk together, enjoy simple shared pleasures like a walk in the park or a home cooked meal? Shanti was living with a lazy fantasist, who wouldn't share his one asset with her - the marital home - and expected her to fund his lifestyle. He didn't even provide a nice home for their married life - for the last 18 months of her life she was living in a building site.
If all that weren't bad enough, it appears the marriage was celibate, despite his lie to police that they had sex on the night before her murder. Forensics proved otherwise. Shanti was getting nothing out of that marriage but misery and expense - not even sex or affection. Don't make the same mistake girls - get out without delay, and never look back. Stay too long with such a man, and you may not live to tell the tale.
This case made an alternative life for me flash by….after crossing paths with a narcissist who was only interested in getting to my (not a lot of) marriage breakdown financial settlement…and he too wrecked my quite lovely Unit….I can’t afford to fix his ‘useless attempted home improvement’….but I have to say I’m glad I’m alive. A few bruises that faded and a scar or two left, those reminding me of 🚩🚩🚩
@@karenhenderson3154 I'm very glad you survived your abusive ex, and are in a happier situation. Living well is the best revenge!
1,000% true 👍👏👏👏👏
Hope the monster enjoys his new "big house"
My observation is the same. The judge is really distracted and not being respectful. Is that normal?
Very informative closing argument.. very good job in explaining the charges and the difference between 1st and 2nd Murder.. so sad 😭 😮 such a loss of a beautiful person
This prosecutor’s showboating makes him unintelligible. I’m surprised the judge didn’t order him to remain at the podium so the court clerk could make an accurate record.
Did you see the judge, and 2 guards sitting behind the defendant smsing on their cellphones, not focusing the surroundings or not listening. Not good!
What’s with all the courtroom critics on here. Backseat lawyers and judges 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤡🤡
He looks as defeated as Gareth Pursehouse.
Gareth was worse because he got puffy lookin
Guilty.
Smells fishy
According to Jim ... oooops I mean Dave
This lawyer is an absolute train wreck…🤦🏼♀️ His favorite words are “um”, “uh”, and “ya know”. Gross display of unpreparedness and unprofessionalism.
This attorney should wear a mic because you can’t hear him good when he walks away from the stand that has a microphone. That’s all I have noticed wrong with everything else he’s doing a great job.
Can’t hear him either
Wish he would stay near the gd microphone
The fiend didn’t budge throughout the summing up he looks like he’s set in stone, that itself screams guilt because he’s trying too hard not to give anything away. He looks a nasty piece of work.
Very sloppy trial, judge is rubbish, defendant is creepy, all lawyers zzzz
Don't read off the powerpoint slides. People can do that themselves.
Horrendous audio
