If you choose to stay with someone after they’ve had an affair you’ve chosen to move on…let it go!
This!!!💯🎯💯🎯
Period.
Agree. If you choose to forgive them enough to stay in the relationship, it's not fair to keeping bringing it up over and over again. If you can't forgive it, then you need to leave, which is perfectly understandable and is more likely the right thing to do. If you say you forgive and want to stay, you need to let it go and move on. Deciding to stay just to make your partner and yourself miserable about it is crazy.
Ladies heres a tip, if a man or partner is cheating on you, dont end them divorce them and move on.
absolutely. how about for the man. don't love your spouse anymore? serve her with divorce papers,
@@theodorepedersen3367 exactly, I been with my partner for 3 years now, and hopefully longer but for whatever reason something better comes along (which it won't) id divorce her rather than cheat on her..
Same thing applies the men whose partners cheated.
@@chiensyang cheating and murdering someone is two completely different things two wrongs don't make a right cheating is wrong but isn't worth taking a life.
Of course. I don’t understand why anyone would ever end someone, rather than divorce, which is so much easier n the sane thing to do. But I do think many people out there cannot control their behaviors. It sometimes takes something extreme to trigger the murderer inside of them to come out. A person’s true character is usually most clearly visible in times of distress n heartache. This woman was always a potential murderer. The whole crime of passion nonsense has got to stop in the courts, which is just an excuse. If someone can’t control their emotions n resort to killing someone, even when traumatized by someone cheating on them, then that person deserves to be locked up for life, or worse.
Just seen a lady get only 9-12 for shooting her infant grandchild in the face our justice system is a joke
I saw a clip of that. It lived.
Another surgery in 2025.
Some paralysis.
@@BayouDiddy I know it takes a certain type of sinister to do that to a baby how do you not get more time for it
I wouldn’t worry. Somehow I doubt female prison is nice to babykillers.
Which state??
@@DasGooodddDas shies
If you no longer love your spouse, don’t have an affair, get a divorce, then move on. That’d be fair for both sides.
those poor kids, my deepest prayers go to them
Sometimes it's lonely being single. But you gotta remind yourself, being single is true freedom.
No drama, no arguments, no problems. I spend my time and money how I like. Life is quite easy this way.
Agree. Why get married?? Most times it ends up being a fckup - but who are the real victims 😢😢 the heartbroken children 💔
Children shouldn’t have to live in an environment like this
There is a thing called.. DIVORCE!
Yeaaaah yeaah, I'm sure in the moment her ego was extremely satisfied lol what a mess.
Takes too long.
Get to the point.
Get it, point!
No
For these people, no, unfortunately 😢😢😢
Marriage is “ Till Death Do Us Part “.
This is what I have learned in life. There are never ever any winners in an argument. Take a walk and leave.
Why didn't she just get a divorce
She wouldn't let him leave
Oh this is awful, I hope their children find the strength to get through this and find some peace and happiness in life 😢
no more parents. both gone.
Not a crime of passion. You can't claim that if the crime happens two years after you were already aware of the incident. If she walked in a caught them together then picked up the knife you could use that term, not that she would of gotten off.
THIS ! why do they let her say crime of passion when it was years later ? It’s just crime plain and simple, Idc how provoked she was or nothing, if your answer to big emotions is Murder ya need to be in a psych ward or prison fr that’s not a normal response , emotions don’t just progress like anger-to rage-to murder wtf 🤦🏽♀️
He probably continued to torment her after she caught him. She tried to move on for a while but was never able to. Being married to a narcissist is torture!
Don't murder or cheat, drink tea instead
cheating and Murder are TWO completely different things though
lol.
Love it! Drink Tea every day. Tea is a wonder. Thank you.
@@LuckyWannaBe drinking tea is also a completely different thing
Ginger tea is my thing right now. Fresh ginger. Spicy
How about you don’t cheat, get a divorce! 🤦🏻♀️
How about don’t stab anyone to death out of anger and spite ….🙄
People…embrace DIVORCE and move on. Don’t wreck everyone that loves you and then end up in Prison! OK?
So sad that her hurt got the better of her. Much better to take such an individual to court: he clearly wasn't worth losing sleep or freedom for. Infidelity is inexcusable. If you are unhappy, divorce your partner, don't be unfaithful. No child deserves such disloyalty either.
how true are your words? very...
@@theodorepedersen3367spouse
Right once a cheater almost always a cheater, if they’ll do it once they’ll do it again
So sad she couldn't control her emotions.
She was a constant abuser. Probably drove him to drink and cheat 😿😿
I totally agree. I understand she was upset but her husband didn’t deserve to die
If only she had a friend to vent to, to advise her? One wonders if she was very isolated. Never "fight" when emotional as you are not in control and you could be hurt and someone else could be hurt.
So incredibly sad that Sophiya has to live with the memories of her father Michael’s death.
She should had left him and filed for divorce 😮😮😮😮
This poor girl. Even at the age of 16 she should have never known of her parents issues. Never seen him drink and never listened to cheating scandals. This should be kept secret from the kids. Hope she got therapy.
I agree but there have been generations and generations full of these households. In the 80s/90s my dad worked hard (his dad did too in the 40s/50s) both men drank a ton, beat their kids n wife…did drugs on and off, cheated etc. while the woman stayed. So yes kids should never see this or hear these things but unfortunately there’s many generations that have seen and heard it. And they are growing up - having kids and making the same mistakes cause they are healed. That’s why mental health is so important now…there’s many adults and children out there that have been hurt in their childhood that need help to be productive adults. This poor girl if she’s not mentally very very strong she will have many issues in her adult life if she doesn’t seek help asap
Please control your emotions
Your emotional well being should never be dependent on the behavior of another person. We are all responsible for ourselves, marriage or no marriage.
These types of videos show how unhinged society is too. Most people are just as crazy and dangerous as the criminals themselves. The rest of yall, stay safe out there.
Don't cheat, don't stab, eat at Joes
😂
lol.
😂🎯
Weird comment
Adultry, I believe it is one of the Ten Commandments wonder why? I do not give a 5 hoot if the man has a purple 💜 heart from service. Where was his responsibility in this?
The children are severely hurt from all of this they have lost both parents.
Why not just divorce its much easier then doing a life sentence
*No defence witnesses or testimony is an easy way to get convicted*
Blind rage is hard to fight.
get a divorce or go to prison for life
realize no one is YOURS ! Not even thru marriage
BS! It's a commitment, the movement created this narrative, but the movement ain't ish.
@ if the person doesn’t want to commit FK em no one has to commit. Could have been another reason besides love that he married her
Don't cheat, but also, leave a cheater... simple, really. Both of them could have left the other.
Have people ever heard the word divorce????
Die....vorce? What's that? Is it the legal term for killing your spouse?
I mean who would come home to an angry manic and bitter woman?
The ad deserves more credit 😅
Right! 😂
Ugghhhhh! Imagine doing that to your children. What a vile narcissist….
SO..he ran into the knife?🙄bs..she's a perpetrator and a nightmare..poor guy
It has happened before. I have seen a few murder mystery shows where the defendant also claim that the victim ran into the knife, so its not unheard of, these things do happen. Thats why its always best to not hold a knife when someone is running around
@@JuanLopez-ts2nyit may have been used as a defense before but that doesn't necessarily mean it's true.
Pretty much nobody would willingly just run into a knife being pointed at them even if they were unhinged.
You're kidding, right? You must see and get involved with married men.
He had children and did not honor the commitment, sanctity, and covenant of his marriage.
He is as culpable as her.
@@JuanLopez-ts2ny Yeah, it "happens a lot" !😂
@@gracie1598 BS ! She was aware of that already, if you're supposed to move on, do it or leave, but you don't k!ll, period.
All these homicides by a spouse NEVER think about their children!! So selfish, they always ending up losing both parents either by death or prison!! So sad 😢
Just cannot imagine it.
the morgan and morgan ad😂
3:20 judge messaging her lover on her phone🤦🏻♀️
She never looked up once, aside from a millisecond of a glance! Obv preoccupied.. Wild!!
@Ghostsbm 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️for real got to love that job
Judges are messed up
My main concern is how to survive all of these financial and political crisis, especially in light of the US political power scuffle. The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance.
Woman or man , If your spouse cheats , is cheating or cheated *just LEAVE* I know it’s hard sometimes but infidelity in a relationship NEVER works out well in the end no matter how hard you try to make it work
Finally a life sentence, which has become so rare these days. It doesn’t matter if someone cheated or not, as there is no excuse for murder whatsoever. If your spouse cheated than u divorce n move on, otherwise if u kill them, you deserve life in prison or worse! I don’t believe in crimes of passion. That makes zero sense. People need to know how to behave themselves, even in the most trying emotional states. We all had our hearts broken before n we all behaved ourselves!
😘
Domestic violence happens to men too 😿
100% this. Thankfully the tide is changing and its being called out more and more.
well, buddy definitely picked the wrong person to cheat on.
She cheated on him first so don’t even count
DONT GET MARRIED !!!!!
Definitely easier to leave the relationship when you’re not married. Most marriages don’t last!
Agree. 💯 marriage is sooooo outdated. Why bother ??? It most times ends up in a fck up
Jeepers, never include kids in adult issues…..work it out, forgive or MOVE ON and divorce…..
How is a woman who feels betrayed and disrespected by her husband be categorized as jealous? The grass is never greener on the other side so I’m pretty sure she would have nothing to be jealous of and behaviour has consequences and unfortunately for him he’s dead but some people play a role in their own demise. Past behaviour is a precursor to future behaviour and had she forgiven him it would have continued
He was way out of her league and the guy she cheated on her with must be hotter and younger
@ Let me help you out with your comment because it doesn’t make sense the way you wrote it but what you’re trying to say is that the woman her husband cheated on her was better looking and by that statement I know you didn’t watch the entire video because the woman he cheated with was put on the stand and she looks like my grandmother 🤦🏻♀️ so better? I think not 😂
No body and I mean nobody is worth a life sentence or any amount of time in prison…was he the last dude on the planet? Really, too late to move on, but as someone already stated…move on. Not like you would be the first human on this planet to divorce…Elizabeth Taylor was the queen of divorce court and still held her head up high…next.
Exactly, some people just act before they think things through.
Poor kids
Calling these people state "actors" is so accurate! lol They truly seem like people who loved drama class but couldn't get out of lazy mode and head to Hollywood lol
😘
@@PAVEL-JAKLHow are you really that lonely on Thanksgiving night lol
was it necessary to put the daughter on the stands? i'm not familiar with the trial, but i feel like this re-traumatized them her over again
Unfortunately I’m sure it was important for the daughter to take the stand honestly and I’m sure it helped the prosecution because she knew what was going on inside that house. The wife obviously lied to investigators so they needed to speak to the kids about what was going on inside that house.
@@Barb1979 true i actually agree with your point of view. professionally, she was, like you said, vital to the prosecution; but emotionally, it's tough to see her cry when the 911 call plays
If the genders were reversed then the comments would be very different
I’m so sorry for their child. A crime of passion, but still a crime nonetheless. I’m proud to see other women here, not accepting this as the right thing to do. There is no, “that’s right girl!”. Love that for us ❤
So not only has she cruelly murdered her husband; she has traumatized her child for the rest of HER LIFE. How horrific. I hope she never leaves prison. NO ONE has the right to take another's life. EVER. She sounds like a jealous monster. This is horrific. She is an evil woman!
this prosecutor is bloody awful
🎯💯 Thank you. Was looking to see if anyone else thought that too.
Dont get mad. Get paid.
Sounds like Courtney Clenney
Guessing dad just stuck around for his children. Now children have trauma with no parents.
Thought revenge cheating was bad but Christine brought being violated to REAL HEARTACHE💔😭💔🙏
Bless the families
Why do Veterans have so many relationship problems?
They are damaged. My ex is a Vietnam veteran and he is so damaged from that 4 year stint that I couldn't deal with his problems so I left. I value my freedom. Wish him the best but he was damaged and angry before the war.
This is a primary reason why I never considered marriage!
Her behavior shows why he would cheat on her.
What does cheating solve?
Adultery is a sin for a reason.
Her behavior is bad sure. He should've divorced her back then. Cheating is not gonna fix her behavior. But she effed uo big time here. Wasted her life and traumatized her children instead of divorcing him an moving on. Feel bad for the kids..
Lesson learned,if you're going to cheat hide all knifes from your sufficient other.
Well done lady…never thought about the children losing both parents…sad. The service as a firefighter is extremely difficult and takes a remarkable person to perform it for 23 years. Selfish woman.
Is the Judge texting or looking at her phone?😮
So sad he married her in the first place; talk about a bit of a mismatch.
Even sadder is that she married him, the POS narcissist!
He was an alcoholic adulterer.... not the prize
Terrible story but have to say the daughter is absolutely beautiful. She is model beautiful! I really hope she is able to get counseling after seeing that tragedy
I make the observation that there are many videos of people in similar circumstances who are hysterical and hyperventilating to the point they cannot communicate with the authorities. They usually turn out to be the psychopaths. They have a tendency to overact the grieving partner role and turn on and off the (tearless) crying like a light switch…..
This woman is obviously a habitual abuser and toward her husband and flat out murdered him!
The most ridiculous choice of betraying your partner of your iwn family.
Dont get Married for one...😂Pepple still get married 45 percent rate for divorce 45 percent chance misery will come your way 😂
Don’t live together either!
To deal with this screaming shrew in your ear everyday..he shouldn't have put up with the physical abuse and should have called 911 to report the physical abuse...His kids should have called 911 to report the physical abuse(That's what they would do if daddy was attacking mommy call 911) his friends should have called 911 to report the physical abuse But everybody was quiet when it was a man being abused by a woman..
Wow...I knew a cheater named Michael, and ironically his birthday was January 28th!! 🤨
I thought nobody's belonging to anybody, why did she snap then ?!
What’s the lady to the left doing?
Why is the court reporter using a breathing machine?
I think that's the stenographer, recording everything that's said. Might be using some sort of text to speech software.
lol look again, its a mic
Usually people use breathing machines to assist in breathing. That’s so she doesn’t have to type though while give fresh oxygen
This kinda thing will happen more often over there if ya'll pass laws for no-fault and irreconcilable divorces. Especially how you seem to value guns over people.
The rest of the world watches America yap on about being "the greatest country in the world" while you fight and kill each other and the 'leaders' behave like immature bullies.... we honestly learn what not to do from ya. Like a cautionary tale.
Great in person ad :D
I thought the daughter had a hilter mustache.
She looks like a ghost
….so she’s single now?
Imagine spending the rest of your life in jail over used ahh.... Sounds so silly.
6:28 - The court reporter has a rather interesting way of using that microphone!
It's a new way of doing it, and I don't really understand it. Is she repeating every word that is said?
What a sloppy unprofessional look for that so called lawyer w the gray hacker.
Is this considered a crime of passion ?
It's considered fofa
Gee, I wonder why he cheated on her. 🙄
He should have just left her...
He should have divorced her then moved on with someone else. Cheating on her was a bad idea.
This has nothing to do with the story, but just wanted to say I actually enjoyed watching the sponsor ad for this video. Jesse and Dan were hilarious. 😄
Well done Jessy you make the LGBTQ community proud
Wow what a suprised
Not sure if this format has been used for a long time, however it's the first time I see it. But nevertheless, I really liked the way the case was presented. No offense, but the format with invited "speekers" or various experts usually yapping clichés for 15 minutes, oftentimes ruins the rythm of the case presentation. Perhaps I'm the only one thinking this, but it has driven me away from even clicking on some Law&Crime videos. *That's why I praise this video and case format. Kudos.*
After the Addams Family it all went downhill.
Funny 😁 little segment there 😹😹
Christ man. Don’t kill people. Just don’t.
People do EVERYTHING but leave!
When someone shows who they are BELIEVE THEM!
Be okay with walking away. Just don’t go back.
Don’t listen to excuses.
JUST LEAVE!!!!!
Now her life is over and her daughter is left to fend for herself.
Easier said than done for some!!
Relax. Just a lil cheating.
The sponsored ad was well done! 😂
Why did he stay so long.. R.I.P 🕊️
Or! You could just divirce the man. Wth is wrong with people
Crime of passion maybe.
No such thing get a grip.
Plenty of people in the owrld to marry and have relationships with. Never understood killing someone because of an affair. Chunk deuces and move on.
She looks like Tina from Bob Burger when she has her hair down 1:40
Poop
I see why he cheated
Idk I feel like that was self-defense.
