Unfortunately that’s the way it is - because the mother’s family are still in China. 🇨🇳 they won’t send a child to the family because of that. That annoys me too.
It is tragic. But the baby is American and unless the Chinese parents can show a better life, highly unlikely, they have no chance. Munchie wasn’t yet an American citizen as well.
I Agree, I believe the mother of the Superego guy could have Done something before things worsened. It is a really sad situation for the parents of the Victim.
That whiny, controlling dork wanted to isolate her and turn her against her own family. The way he came across in his own recordings... so rational and cooperative... vs her recordings. Really shows you how many faces a person can hide
This is an illustration of the importance of taking your time and really observing a possible spouse in many situations (for years) before marrying them. The green card issue probably accelerated the process for MJ, sadly.
The fact he waited until her dad left the home and returned to china and then went into his controlling behavior tells you everything you need about him, ITS CALLED BEING A COWARD !!
I’m horrified that the defense attorney would suggest that the abuse was a “parenting mistake.” How many times does it have to happen before we take it seriously? Absolutely disgusting.
A dad bruising a little girl the size of a baby doll, under 1yr old, can you imagine calling him a great dad?? Attorney is disgusting, he doesn't have to defend abuse to defend his client.
@@rationallyruby yeah, in *court*. I see defense attorneys properly defend their client on TV after a case while not sounding disgusting. They say things like "what I presented to the jury was...", rather than acting like lies are truth.
@@rationallyruby I don’t know that I necessarily agree. I think he can defend him without perpetuating the idea that abuse has to be chronic to be valid. It was negligent at best, so I think that argument is more ethical while still being a defense.
I can't stand people like him. He knew she was vulnerable and had no family/support system close to her. He's a predator. I pray for her and her family ❤
Probably wanted her for his own perverted reasons and when she didn't want to play his game he wanted to throw her out like garbage. He's definitely a predator.
Yes, that guy was horrible. He literally made my skin crawl the entire video! He was a shining example of a narcissistic incel that hates women and should absolutely be avoided at all costs! I shudder to think of what this poor woman went through! Part of the reason that she did not have family support was because he was nasty and did not want them there.
I truly hope the baby is reunited with her mother's parents 😢 Please dear Lord, please let this be if it is the best interest of the innocent child. I wish her little baby girl all the best in life. 🧡🐦🔥🏵️
Since the kid is an American citizen and the grandparents in China are poor and old, the U.S is never gonna allow to live there with them unless every close relative here in U.S is dead. Unfortunately but THAT is the truth.
I have researched this case and her parents are actually wealthy. There are many very wealthy people in china now. They were able to send their daughter to the best schools to become a successful engineer. The father didn't work and was a dead beat dad with no education. That's how his parents allowed him to enter adulthood.
I think the woman who does the DNA must be one of the most interesting and magnanimous women ever. What an exciting and incredibly valuable asset to humanity.👍👏💪💗💓💞

You’re correct. She’s definitely enabled that murderous creep. And she gets rewarded with a baby whose head she will fill with lies about her abusive, misogynistic worthless son

The custody battle is sad but the child does belong in China. The nerds parents i feel for , but at the same time they raised a killer one time already.
Yeah, the American grandparents raised a misogynistic killer. No doubt some of his abusive behaviors towards women were probably learned from his parents. They should not get custody of their granddaughter!
@sarahcartier3393 The child will always have US citizenship no matter where she is placed.

He disrespected the hell out of that woman in front of her parents.

As if the disrespect wasn’t enough he demands the mother get out when they didn’t cow tow to his ill treatment know she is not from there and has no where to go. Then kills his wife once her mom leaves and lies saying she went off with another man leaving her own child behind. This man is sick and should’ve gotten life for Taking a life…it’s just not fair and now his mom who suck up for him is raising the innocent child who is left completely abandoned at this point 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️make all of that make sense somebody please 🙏🏽 praying for that lil girl she needs to go to China with her family
His mother saying that it was out of his character 🤬 28 years? The system is supposed to protect as well as punish! When he gets out he will still be dangerous to any woman he is with. He was threatening to her mother as well. Judges and jurors should take the future into account when sentencing.
Yes I've read that, I don't agree. I believe he should be with his maternal grandparents but he should not be in China. If his other grandparents lived in a free country, he would be with them!
Ooorrr....offer her maternal grandparents immigrant status so that they can care for her in both countries. She can be immersed in both cultures throughout her childhood.
"You're still just a woman". Am I hearing that right? A young American man saying this to his wife in 2019? Wow 😮 I've heard enough. During his stay in prison, he should be forced to follow a course on modern men/women relationships.
He sounds red pilled with no redeeming qualities. He waited until she had the baby to show who he really was. She's the breadwinner, decided she should stay home with the, baby and he doesn't even have a JOB! WTF
I don’t want to imply something false, but in looking at all of this, it really strikes me how much Dan Knight really cared, his genuinely disturbing and heartbreaking the case is. It’s possible it took a tremendous toll on him. He apparently took his own life shortly after sentencing for this case, and was described by friends in the article below as “in a very dark place”. It makes me nauseous to think that vile ogre is indirectly responsible for a second death. It’s hard to prosecute monsters, to shoulder the burden of getting justice for their family. Menqji’s parents sound so humble, their faith in the US justice system really touched me, such optimism in the face of the greatest violations imaginable. I feel crestfallen, and all I did was watch this video. RIP Dan Knight, you are worthy of your title in every way🙏🌹💔🙏
This was written after the fact, for it to be premidation he would of thought About it before killing her. And there is no evidence for that. Rip meng xi 😢
I'm incensed listening to that horror, Joe, treating that bright beautiful girl, manchi, like dirt. He is a monster. A psychopath. That poor beautiful girl, so alone and abused and isolated. I wish someone would have checked on her well-being.
Proof, even nerds can be cold-blooded killers Ugh & I know lawyers have a job to do, but sometimes the bs they come up with is downright insulting and insufferable 🤬 And 28ys is such an insult. The child doesn't belong with the killers parents! This case really makes me ANGRY! WHY DOES THE KILLERS MOM HAVE HER CHILD? SO FKD UP😢
@@stephaniearthur6688I think exactly the same! How can they not see some serious issues in his formative years have to do with the way he was raised by his mother? And the child ends up with her too? Terrible decision.
@@s0me0ne1se I agree that guy was a narcissist with a super Ego all that comes from the parents and the way he was raised. to be able to killed someone way smaller just to keep the mental Superiority he believes in. he should have been charged with Child endangerment, tampering with evidence, disturbing the scene of a crime, and abuse or concealment of a corpse. he should have gotten the death penalty or life in prison, but he didn't because the Asian girl had no representation. not one to fight for her rights as a Human being, not an immigrant.
I also agree she should be with her moms family. However, you can be the best parent in the world and your child choose to stray off the righteous path. I can’t blame his parents for him being a murderer but I think him still having access to his daughter will do more harm than good in the long run. As a parent myself, I am trying not to judge his parents based off what little information this video gave us. When this little girl grows is she will make her own mind up about him and his family.
I can’t stand how defense attorneys make up implausible stories in trying to get their guilty clients off. Even if that stupid story were true, no normal person would bury his wife in the woods after finding her dead.
The defense atty is required to go with whatever defense the client wants - not the other way around - or they could actually get disbarred or worst case scenario the defendant could be granted a new trial. Remember that a defense atty mounting the best defense available - that the client allows them - ensures the defendant will never get a retrial and they will stay in jail. Defense attorneys play an important role in making sure convicts have no legal route to get out of prison
No kidding. The defense attorneys in ALL of these cases here are pushing completely ridiculous explanations for their clients supposed innocence. The last guy, of course he is devastated, he's going to prison for the rest of his life.
@emiliabaltazzar, l agree, they raised a monster, l wouldn't let them raise a dog, far less a child. The baby should be with her lovely grandparents in China. I'm not american...but l wouldn't want to raise a child there, especially now. The baby will be brought up as a second class citizen with no rights. She is better at home in China with her own traditions and customs. Chinese people are lovely.
Case after case, the murderers don't think a devoted mother leaving her baby behind would be a red flag to investigators. Just shows how little they are able to understand another person and how little they care.
Boone County Prosecutor Dan Knight was found dead at his home in Columbia, Missouri on June 4, 2022. 😢 His death was due to an apparent gunshot and no foul play is suspected 💔
Seeing what they see over the years can really affect their wellbeing. 90% of the people quick to criticize law enforcement couldn’t deal with the stress of the job for a week.
Here’s betting that they will paint their son as an angel , and her mother as a conniving liar who entrapped their wonderful son and deserved her fate .
This guy is the worst, before the verdict I was holding m breath because if anyone needs to be behind bars it's that guy. The baby should be in custody of the maternal grandparents. The paternal grandmother raised the murderer, and is still minimizing his role. The tape of Joe's mother saying she wanted to be neutral in the arguments between the couple can't stand after her son has killed his wife. Shame on them for not just letting the child be raised safely.
I’m sorry but i gotta say this, Peter Van Sant does such a good job curating this as the voice! Not saying that the other reporters doesn’t but he is just a good fit!!! I am always grateful when I see him doing the show!!!
Good grief, his explanation for being out in the sticks with an infant. Scouting walking trails. Man please. "I was just testing that the shovel was still working sir"
I've seen these cases before. The middle one is my favorite, because I remember watching it on the original unsolved mysteries and found it scary and thought it might not ever be solved. It's cool to see how genetic genealogy cracked the difficult case all these years later.
I 🙏 that the baby goes back to the maternal grandma. Its a slap in the face to the family to allow a murderer's family to raise the baby. That mom already proved how ineffective she is....
I been watching 48 hours and most case like this which child included and one parent killed by other one usually gets child end up with killer's parents, I really don't understand why judge would allow child to raise by killer's parents, the big question is WHY??/? that's mysteries gone too young, R.I.P.
It takes a really certain type of person to be a defense lawyer to a POS like this. Sickening really. What a final insult to have her daughter go to his family. He wins in the end. Heart wrenching.
I think all the defense attorneys in all 3 stories a sick POS’ especially the defense attorney in the last case! Like imagine working that hard to get a monster freed & back on the streets so he could most likely hurt another woman thinking he will always have a way out of having to take accountability! This world is just sick! 😔💔
1st. The murderer was beyond dispicable treating his wife and her mother so disgracefully, then to crush the life out of her. She was tiny but head and shoulders above her murderer. I fear for her daughter if he turns up. 2. Delighted DNA caught the double murderer. I don't regard Chelsea as a family member but just distantly related to a murderer. The brother is a beautiful, loving, gentle soul. 3. I watched this one ages ago.
"She's in good hands w his parents', except good parents do not raise a child to become an adult murderer. His parents were successful at creating a killer! ...they'd at least create a psychopath at their next opportunity her moms'' mother should raise that baby. T This child's bio-father has absolutely no business infecting another generations children! Today's kids already have social issues to deal with...leave the child w responsible amd nurturing adults who have a history of loving and supporting the next generations children
So he purposely kills his wife takes her away from their chiid and he thinks that only deserves ten years???? ? Mommy begging for mercy, where was his wife's mercy lady? He should have had to pay for the years of a mother.He took away from that childs mother as well
The stupidest persons are the defense attorneys who are trying to get the killers out of prison, even though they are 100% sure that these killers are lying to everyone 🙁
Getting married with no time to know each other it is a very big risk. He is a sociopath, narcissist, unfortunately the time hey spent together prior the marriage was not enough to find out. The green card process was a big element for her to remain. All this for a residence permit so sad
3rd case attorney bringing race into it mskes him look ignorant!DNA doesn't lie! If she had consensual sex then why did he admit to beating her afterwards!🤦♀️
My heart breaks 💔 for this beautiful lady & her family. Joe is just a coward and a monster. I hope her grandparents in China get to raise their daughters' baby. ❤ After all Joe's mother raised a monster & a coward.
If my sister in law ever called my mom to settle something like this my brother would have gotten in soooo much trouble and she would of probably taken her and her mother home with her. ❤ it is a culture thing we mexicans are very much with our family when a child comes in to the world. Specially if mommy doesn't have a support line or is close physically or emotionally with hers. We don't have to be the most loving or likable person to our inlaws but culture is a strong bond specially when children are involved ❤❤
I think the Talbott guy did it because he was an angry man who wanted somebody to answer his anger after losing job and knowing that no women wanted him.

Then bullying her mom, an old lady cooking birthday dinner for you, once the father left tells you everything you need to know about him. As if the disrespect wasn’t enough he demands the mother get out when they didn’t cow tow to his ill treatment know she is not from there and has no where to go. Then kills his wife once her mom leaves and lies saying she went off with another man leaving her own child behind. This man is sick and should’ve gotten life for
Taking a life…it’s just not fair and now his mom who suck up for him is raising the innocent child who is left completely abandoned at this point 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️make all of that make sense somebody please 🙏🏽 praying for that lil girl she needs to go to China with her family
💔🙏🙏🙏Amen
His mother saying that it was out of his character 🤬 28 years? The system is supposed to protect as well as punish! When he gets out he will still be dangerous to any woman he is with. He was threatening to her mother as well. Judges and jurors should take the future into account when sentencing.
His mother is a flying monkey!
Where was his father in this story and was he raised by his mother because he has all of the characteristics of a mama’s boy?
And probably out in 14 to 20 years.
Glad to see others feel the child should be in China.
Yes I've read that, I don't agree. I believe he should be with his maternal grandparents but he should not be in China. If his other grandparents lived in a free country, he would be with them!
Yes, she has anyhow an American passport in case she will decide in later days to move to US
Ooorrr....offer her maternal grandparents immigrant status so that they can care for her in both countries. She can be immersed in both cultures throughout her childhood.
"You're still just a woman". Am I hearing that right? A young American man saying this to his wife in 2019? Wow 😮 I've heard enough. During his stay in prison, he should be forced to follow a course on modern men/women relationships.
@@kayadelarenta4554 that will be said to him in prison -he is effeminate enough to be the woman in their system
He sounds red pilled with no redeeming qualities. He waited until she had the baby to show who he really was. She's the breadwinner, decided she should stay home with the, baby and he doesn't even have a JOB! WTF
A big thank you to prosecutor Daniel Knight, rip 💔🌹
Can’t believe he committed suicide 😢
@StaceyJoy💔💔🙏🙏🙏14
@@StaceyJoy14maybe it was suicide or maybe he prosecuted the wrong person. Sadly I don’t think we’ll ever know one way or the other.
I don’t want to imply something false, but in looking at all of this, it really strikes me how much Dan Knight really cared, his genuinely disturbing and heartbreaking the case is. It’s possible it took a tremendous toll on him. He apparently took his own life shortly after sentencing for this case, and was described by friends in the article below as “in a very dark place”. It makes me nauseous to think that vile ogre is indirectly responsible for a second death. It’s hard to prosecute monsters, to shoulder the burden of getting justice for their family. Menqji’s parents sound so humble, their faith in the US justice system really touched me, such optimism in the face of the greatest violations imaginable. I feel crestfallen, and all I did was watch this video.
RIP Dan Knight, you are worthy of your title in every way🙏🌹💔🙏
@betsylaughlin8652 🙏💔🙏
What a foul mouthed horrible human being that guy was.
how can there be no premeditation if he has notebooks with a note 'don't talk about her in past tense' -insane to me
This was written after the fact, for it to be premidation he would of thought About it before killing her. And there is no evidence for that. Rip meng xi 😢
He looks like Screech!
Yes! I was thinking the same thing.
I'm incensed listening to that horror, Joe, treating that bright beautiful girl, manchi, like dirt. He is a monster. A psychopath. That poor beautiful girl, so alone and abused and isolated. I wish someone would have checked on her well-being.
Sadly most domestic violence victims are targets because the abuser knows there alone or isolates them so there alone.
He is a creepy person.
Her parents were literally just there
He wanted someone to punch around & bully...😳
What a chump🤨
Proof, even nerds can be cold-blooded killers
Ugh & I know lawyers have a job to do, but sometimes the bs they come up with is downright insulting and insufferable 🤬
And 28ys is such an insult.
The child doesn't belong with the killers parents!
This case really makes me ANGRY!
WHY DOES THE KILLERS MOM HAVE HER CHILD?
SO FKD UP😢
Ugh, right? You raised a killer!
@@stephaniearthur6688I think exactly the same! How can they not see some serious issues in his formative years have to do with the way he was raised by his mother? And the child ends up with her too? Terrible decision.
@@s0me0ne1se I agree that guy was a narcissist with a super Ego all that comes from the parents and the way he was raised. to be able to killed someone way smaller just to keep the mental Superiority he believes in. he should have been charged with Child endangerment, tampering with evidence, disturbing the scene of a crime, and abuse or concealment of a corpse. he should have gotten the death penalty or life in prison, but he didn't because the Asian girl had no representation. not one to fight for her rights as a Human being, not an immigrant.
I also agree she should be with her moms family. However, you can be the best parent in the world and your child choose to stray off the righteous path. I can’t blame his parents for him being a murderer but I think him still having access to his daughter will do more harm than good in the long run. As a parent myself, I am trying not to judge his parents based off what little information this video gave us. When this little girl grows is she will make her own mind up about him and his family.
You know what's fck up? Judging people you know ZERO about. From your judgemental little high horse.
I can’t stand how defense attorneys make up implausible stories in trying to get their guilty clients off. Even if that stupid story were true, no normal person would bury his wife in the woods after finding her dead.
I believe the people who are falsely accused have the right to sue for character assassination...???
The defense atty is required to go with whatever defense the client wants - not the other way around - or they could actually get disbarred or worst case scenario the defendant could be granted a new trial.
Remember that a defense atty mounting the best defense available - that the client allows them - ensures the defendant will never get a retrial and they will stay in jail.
Defense attorneys play an important role in making sure convicts have no legal route to get out of prison
@@pandamandimaxThat was the reason why l didn't pursue the carreer in the Law after all.
No kidding. The defense attorneys in ALL of these cases here are pushing completely ridiculous explanations for their clients supposed innocence. The last guy, of course he is devastated, he's going to prison for the rest of his life.
If you were innocent you’d want your lawyer to do everything they could for you too.
The parents raised a horrible man. Give the child to her maternal grandparents
It's not always the parents fault, he seemed off, mental... But it's shameful they have that baby girl.
@emiliabaltazzar, l agree, they raised a monster, l wouldn't let them raise a dog, far less a child. The baby should be with her lovely grandparents in China. I'm not american...but l wouldn't want to raise a child there, especially now. The baby will be brought up as a second class citizen with no rights. She is better at home in China with her own traditions and customs. Chinese people are lovely.
Pinching a baby until they bruise is not a *mistake.* it’s deliberate abuse.
Thank you for this marathon!😘
Not a very happy one!😢
dan knight killed himself??? wow. he was so empathetic with mengqi's case, he'll be missed.

Married a asian woman and didn't think you wouldn't have to be family oriented
It seems he married her for the stereotype that Asian women are more submissive than others. While ignoring the rest of her cultural differences

Case after case, the murderers don't think a devoted mother leaving her baby behind would be a red flag to investigators. Just shows how little they are able to understand another person and how little they care.
Boone County Prosecutor Dan Knight was found dead at his home in Columbia, Missouri on June 4, 2022. 😢 His death was due to an apparent gunshot and no foul play is suspected 💔
Seeing what they see over the years can really affect their wellbeing. 90% of the people quick to criticize law enforcement couldn’t deal with the stress of the job for a week.
💔💔💔💔🙏Господи, Прости і Помилуй, Прийми душу🙏
Did you read the news stories leading up to it the few months prior though?
Thank you for this kind comment. No one's passing should go unnoticed.. 🙏
he was only interested in the elevated social status of "Husband" and "Father"
he didn't actually gaf about his wife or child
he betrayed them both
She was a beautiful woman and I’m hoping her grandparents in China have years with the child.
That grandchild is all they have. She was their only child😭
Imagine this little girl find out the tragedy of her mother 😢
She will be Brainwashed into believing, that it was an accident by then.
Here’s betting that they will paint their son as an angel , and her mother as a conniving liar who entrapped their wonderful son and deserved her fate .

.they gave him 1 year per her age, they should have givin him 72 years ..the years left if she lived to a 100 that was taken away 100-28=72
Stay single ladies
Don't marry for a green card...seriously, they kind of glossed over that part. Married with child but to a nut job, so sad
Best advice ever, luckily enough l never married...life is GREAT.
Never been married, never will
This guy is the worst, before the verdict I was holding m breath because if anyone needs to be behind bars it's that guy. The baby should be in custody of the maternal grandparents. The paternal grandmother raised the murderer, and is still minimizing his role. The tape of Joe's mother saying she wanted to be neutral in the arguments between the couple can't stand after her son has killed his wife. Shame on them for not just letting the child be raised safely.
I’m sorry to this poor young lady that she met such a poor example of an American man. May she rest in peace and reach the heights she dreamed of.
She was looking for any man to take advantage of. She was a manipulator and user. She got what she deserved.
I love that Joe once boasted about “conquering nature”, then gets caught by a tree.
Dan Knight: a brilliant prosecutor
Imagine trees snitching on you 😂😂😂
It was so poetic that nature busted him when he said he controlled nature. 😅
Yea he is god after all….small g…
I’m sorry but i gotta say this,
Peter Van Sant does such a good job curating this as the voice! Not saying that the other reporters doesn’t but he is just a good fit!!! I am always grateful when I see him doing the show!!!
This man is a coward
That ain't a man
ALL bullies Are
I think America should have a CiCi Moore Day ! Is there any bigger Icon ? She deserves to be Commemorated
The child should not be raised by the parent of her mother’s killer!
The child should be with thr victim’s - her mother’s - family.
Such a beautiful woman and mother!! Such a victim of this abusive monster!!
I hate it when the rapist claims it was consensual as if people will actually believe that!
28years? Really? He should be in there for life!!
Good grief, his explanation for being out in the sticks with an infant. Scouting walking trails. Man please. "I was just testing that the shovel was still working sir"
But it WAS pre-meditated. He said in that conversation transcript that he wanted her dead.
These cases are so heart breaking. Praying to all the families 🙏
I remember this. Rest In Peace beloved mom daughter sister cosine aunt. May your child find Healing and Peace Blessings Be.
1:47:36 he declined ? i didn't know suspects has a choice when it comes to recording questioning by police
Imagine looking like Joe and actually getting a girl to like you and marry you and then behave like that…disgusting!
I broke one rib once. It was extremely painful! There's no way she could have just fallen asleep with FOUR broken ribs!!
She was way too good for him.
Blaming the woman he murdered for causing the tension in their marriage, and yet the recorded conversation he had with her tells the opposite
I've seen these cases before. The middle one is my favorite, because I remember watching it on the original unsolved mysteries and found it scary and thought it might not ever be solved. It's cool to see how genetic genealogy cracked the difficult case all these years later.
Me too, listened on a Polish criminal podcast.
I could not be a lawyer. I can’t lie
You can be the prosecution side
I 🙏 that the baby goes back to the maternal grandma. Its a slap in the face to the family to allow a murderer's family to raise the baby. That mom already proved how ineffective she is....
Joe’s mother and father did such a great job with Joe, sure give them custody. 🙄
I been watching 48 hours and most case like this which child included and one parent killed by other one usually gets child end up with killer's parents, I really don't understand why judge would allow child to raise by killer's parents, the big question is WHY??/? that's mysteries gone too young, R.I.P.
It takes a really certain type of person to be a defense lawyer to a POS like this. Sickening really.
What a final insult to have her daughter go to his family. He wins in the end. Heart wrenching.
I think all the defense attorneys in all 3 stories a sick POS’ especially the defense attorney in the last case! Like imagine working that hard to get a monster freed & back on the streets so he could most likely hurt another woman thinking he will always have a way out of having to take accountability! This world is just sick! 😔💔
RIP prosicuter praying for the family.
💔🙏🙏🙏Amen
1st. The murderer was beyond dispicable treating his wife and her mother so disgracefully, then to crush the life out of her. She was tiny but head and shoulders above her murderer. I fear for her daughter if he turns up.
2. Delighted DNA caught the double murderer. I don't regard Chelsea as a family member but just distantly related to a murderer.
The brother is a beautiful, loving, gentle soul.
3. I watched this one ages ago.
"She's in good hands w his parents', except good parents do not raise a child to become an adult murderer. His parents were successful at creating a killer! ...they'd at least create a psychopath at their next opportunity her moms'' mother should raise that baby. T
This child's bio-father has absolutely no business infecting another generations children! Today's kids already have social issues to deal with...leave the child w responsible amd nurturing adults who have a history of loving and supporting the next generations children
What a judge give the little child with a monster
So he purposely kills his wife takes her away from their chiid and he thinks that only deserves ten years???? ? Mommy begging for mercy, where was his wife's mercy lady? He should have had to pay for the years of a mother.He took away from that childs mother as well
The stupidest persons are the defense attorneys who are trying to get the killers out of prison, even though they are 100% sure that these killers are lying to everyone 🙁
Sitting,chilling for 31 years and then comes a knock on the door. 😂😂
Getting married with no time to know each other it is a very big risk. He is a sociopath, narcissist, unfortunately the time hey spent together prior the marriage was not enough to find out. The green card process was a big element for her to remain. All this for a residence permit so sad
Thanks for posting these! ❤❤
This defense attorney should get an academy award for his part in this trial, what a joke
3rd case attorney bringing race into it mskes him look ignorant!DNA doesn't lie! If she had consensual sex then why did he admit to beating her afterwards!🤦♀️
Yes.
he didnt admit to beating her, police claimed thats what he said..................big difference buddy
I wish her parents had insisted Mung-She leave! Those poor parents.
I'm so sorry that she even met him. She deserved the best.
He got 28 years???? Unbelievable. He should get life without parole
In the last 2 cases, they accuse the women of having consensual sex. I couldn't imagine being accused of having sex with random people.

If my sister in law ever called my mom to settle something like this my brother would have gotten in soooo much trouble and she would of probably taken her and her mother home with her. ❤ it is a culture thing we mexicans are very much with our family when a child comes in to the world. Specially if mommy doesn't have a support line or is close physically or emotionally with hers. We don't have to be the most loving or likable person to our inlaws but culture is a strong bond specially when children are involved ❤❤
I think the Talbott guy did it because he was an angry man who wanted somebody to answer his anger after losing job and knowing that no women wanted him.
