if he did kill Amy he had very little time to do it & Tristan would have heard struggles. Furthermore the prosecutor did not prove within reasonable doubt that Todd killed Amy. Sorry don't buy it.
Counsel made a mistake agreeing it was a murder but said Todd didn’t do it. Nobody else had motive , means and opportunity including the son. The thing i do not understand is what exactly killed her. Wouldn’t the rake almost have to pierce her heart? ME said it damaged her liver but that wont kill you in 15 minutes would it?
I agree with that point of reason it could be a wife for sure but why is that timeline on camera missing ,and the person indeed would have motive and anger to kill her for sure !!
And all the other irrelevant people who weren’t there with the corn rake! Who apparently walked to the farm and escaped without being noticed or leaving a trace behind. If everyone with a motive were guilty the world would be mostly imprisoned right now.
Todd is so guilty. No one else was there except for his son. If his son would have heard his mom scream then so would Todd. His internet searches, his cameras being off, his blatant lies on the stand, his whispering "go to h*ll cheating wh*ore" between breaths while he was faking CPR, his deliberate destruction of the crime scene, her friends all saying that she knew Todd was going to kill her -- and more all point to Farmer Mullis as the murderer. Funny that Todd chose "excited" as his adjective after he killed his wife. Definition: very enthusiastic and eager. His son knows more than he's saying but there is no reasonable doubt that Todd is the only one who could have or did kill Amy. This prosecutor did amazing and I hope the jury does the right thing.
"beyond a reasonable doubt" requires critical thinking skills. Not everyone has that. Some people are willing to be swayed by emotion due to this hard working man who was treated so cruelly by his wife. In times past, her crimes would be punishable by death.
Meredith EXCITED--stirred emotionally, agitated. The first officer interviewed was the first person to use adjective "excited" to describe Todd's state/condition.
Was she scared of him because her lover convinced her she should be? Most people don’t think, they just start repeating stuff that if totally out of character for the other person because it sounds neat or gets them attention. I’m convinced the lover killed her and Todd was automatically in the frame because of what the lover told her to think.
S Burch Exactly! Not only that he made a face, like slightly annoyed face. I mean if this dude loved her like the defense is trying to portray, regardless of her infidelity, wouldn’t you think he would show SOMETHING when seeing her dead body? I don’t care how non-emotional you are. That was cold! It disturbed me seeing it and I don’t know her. I don’t care how many times they show it; if I see someone I love up on the screen in that condition.... I’m gonna look away and you’re going to see how it affects me. Dude is clearly done with her, I call BS on him being the gullible victim here.
@@dont_step_on_the_momeraths : You're comment makes zero sense.....I know exactly who Ted Bundy was. No conscience and no remorse, hence my observation. No clue what you are talking about 🤪
My question is. The medical examiner said there are two puncture wounds at upward angle and four wounds at downward angle. If there were two attacks, the two upward punctures must have happened at the first attack. So how could an attack be performed in a way that the prongs ran into her body upward. This just doesn't make sense. The rake has four prongs, if the first attack generated only two wounds in her back which were not lethal, she should have a lot of chance to ran and shout for help. Maybe only a theory that she fell on the rake once and tried to get up while fell a second time onto the rake can explain.
I am still waiting on evidence 🙄..i hear a theory but no hard proof to back it up. If this guy had a good lawyer that prosecutor would have been toast!
@@chrystalspencer4697 He acted like he wanted to be anywhere but in this trial defending Todd. Horrible ad for his law firm. “Hey! Do you want a lawyer who will just show up and not much more?! Then I’m your guy!”
The jury got it right. Who do you think is going to murder her? Most women murdered are murdered by their husband or ex-husband. Todd said she fell on a rake and forensics proves him wrong. He also lied about their relationship. Another negative against him. He did it.
You make a very good point, but sadly the fact is that the level of attraction plays a role in situations like these. There have been multiple psychological studies done to prove that humans are much more prone to listen to and agree with someone who is attractive. Obviously the jury was an exception in this case, but the comments on the prosecutor's looks are telling.
Exactly! She’s not an ugly woman she just seems mean somehow. Like she has a personal vendetta against Todd. People are so cruel! I’ve seen many skinny woman who have “butter faces” but somehow it’s okay that she’s ugly as long as she’s thin. Ugh!
Me too. Although this bothers me: if she fell on the rake and it impales her in the back, why would she fall face down. Wouldn't she be on her back? How did she get that awful bruise on her face? Why didn't he call 911 and put her in the truck and leaves for the hospital? But I still have reasonable doubt. Skylar Richardson's trial taught me that if you think a defendant "probably" did the crime, THAT is reasonable doubt!
@@Light4Jesus I guess so. I wonder how heavy and long that corn rake is. Could you stand with it impaled in your back?? She was already having dizzy spells. I guess anything is possible, but she would have had to fall on her back twice, then fall on her face. Unlikely... Also, the wounds were deep, so did she pull it out after the first injury? How? I have too many questions lol! 🤔
How anyone can watch Todd Mullis and think he's innocent is beyond me. The man acts like an eye-rolling teenager. He's not distraught over his wife's death, he's inconvenienced for the waste of his time.
I FOR ONE THINK THE PROSECUTOR DOES A GREAT JOB IN CLOSING. SHE MADE A LOT OF GOOD POINTS. SHE IS MORE INTERESTING THAN THE DEFENSE. SO WHAT IF SHE IS NOT THIN-- LARGE PEOPLE MAKE GREAT ATTORNEYS TOO. PITY THE CHILDREN LEFT WITHOUT FATHER OR MOTHER.
Good closing by the state. Yikes, the first time they showed her facial injuries in 1:33 is shocking. They found no gravel in her facial wounds which would mean something struck her in the face and as the ME said, from the bottom going up. What did he hit her with I wonder to get her down?
I can't believe she was scared of him , if she was so scared why was she constantly fooling around on him. That just tells me she just didn't care because he wasn't going to do anything anyways. He didn't hear anything, but neither did his son , so I can't see what her point is with that.
GAWD! This prosecutor is annoying as hell. So dramatic. So pretentious. In this case all attorneys sucked. Very poor prosecution. Very poor defense. For me there is so much reasonable doubt it would be hard to convict him. So many unanswered questions. So much WRONG info stated by deputy's and detectives. So many things disregarded because they had "tunnel vision" zeroed in on Todd only. I feel sorry for the kids, the family, and all involved. I hope it's a hung jury and Todd gets a different attorney.
I certainly could not find him guilty from this trial. None of the attorneys were good, and if i knew this prosecutor would be the one to question my client, that would be the one time a would want my client to take the stand.
This man was denied a fair trial .. and he may as well had a 1st grader for a defense attorney ! Lol .. This entire Court .. including the Judge .. is a complete shame .. That prosecuting attorney is a disgrace .. just look at her ?!
Well hey everyone doesn't want to react the same way, also a lot of the time judges and lawyers advise the defendants to remain calm and not show too much emotion. And thirdly he doesn't believe that his wife is murdered he thinks that it was an accident his defense said that he thought she was murdered.
@@bellahuertas4392 what? No! the laws of gravity and motion exist unless you don't believe I science. Even if she had fallen backwards the rake has to be upright and how is it upright? Is gravity not going to bring it to the ground? And how did it hit her twice in the back? You honestly can't believe what you're saying. Can you?
I think he did it. However if he had a serial cheater as a wife, that was hiding assets and planning to take his children and his farm, and someone else murdered her, I wouldn't expect him to be too sad about it. He'd probably feel pretty lucky.
She bombs the jury wifh a sh*tload of slides. This because otherwise she cant tell her story. She lost me after a minute... How she got hired as prosecutor is beyond me.

I thought the same thing. I think the defense attorney was too soft spoken so they tend to go with the more "confident" one without listening to the evidence and words
I agree. I think he will get a new trial.Heres why. She could have fallen on the rake. Unlikely, but possible. The computer searches could have been done by either of them for many reasons. He seemed genuinely distressed on the 911 call. Sounds to me like he says 1 2 3 4. The way the prosecutor made up what she thought she heard him say was so prejudicial the jury may have convicted him on that alone. That reason and ineffective counsel are two great reasons for a new trial
He looks like he can care less. His body sends off the message that this is all wasting his time. Would love for her to walk in alive. Look how he looks at her picture. The multiple glances that he is proud of. The smirk says he doesnt think of it as murder.

I'm sick of looking at all of Todd's guilty facial expressions as though he doesn't know what the Prosecution is talking about! Todd is one guilty bastard that set his wife up to kill her that morning.
Did the defense hire a forensic expert regarding the corn rake. Was it empaled where the prongs of raked were in an upward position or a downward position ? That’s hugely important and I’ve not heard a word about this yet. Also, one says pet carrier there, wasn’t there, was there....., So which was it? Was there any blood on Todd? Any finger prints or other forensic findings? Someone said she had a vaginal tightening up surgery? She was supposed to rest, not lift over 10Lbs. Normally if excessive bleeding a person would contact doctor as that’s usually what ppl are told in any kind of surgery. So why wouldn’t she call doctor and go lay down.
I agree. She indicated she specialized in Forensic Pathology, not Forensics Physics. I don't think she's qualified to make the judgement on whether a fall on the corn rake was possible or not. I also find it disturbing that this dude that drove up and turned Trysten away from looking at his mom, then drove him back to the house (in Todd's truck), *and* walked right up to the shed, but not inside is not only very peculiar that he happened to be right there. But that he essentially was ALL OVER the crime scene and vehicle. How can they say they didn't see any other footprints around the shed if this guy walked all around it minutes later?!
This was the most annoying closing argument EVER! I wanted to scream if she said “It just so happens” one more time I was going to loose it! I’m surprised no one in the court room went bonkers😖
Am I the only one thinking her son did it and the father is protecting him. The teen hunts, fishes, the tv shows they watch, and works manual labor (so has the strength). Probably pinned against his mom due to her affair and obv sides with dad because they have a better bond.
I think the son was away from the barn for an extended period of time. First the son said he was never away, when he testified he said he left for a couple drinks of water. I'll bet he was off doing something, loss track of time. 13 yrs old....come on. When all the questions started he went with what he felt 'obligated' to say.
If this man got off free I wouldn't feel sorry for the naive woman who married him next so many people defending this non emotional man. I have watched so many documentaries about police have to reopen cases that were thought to be an accident after the second spouse ends up dead in similar circumstances. Let's save lives and keep this man on prison. It's funny how people lay blame when a second crime is done saying they should have locked him up the 1st time before he had the chance to do or again. Well here is the 1st time
He searched for "once you hunt man you will feel the thirst" and made a silly excuse about it being related to a movie. But saying he dosnt know who searched for "cheating wives." How convenient
He would have married someone else quickly to raise his kids then killed her when she saw he was psycho and tried to leave. Glad other people see sense.
THEORY What if when husband and Tristan left a lover came over to see Amy. She had extra breakfast cooking. So when the boys returned home early the lover hides and Amy offers to help husband so not to be suspicious. Then when the lover thinks they are gonna be caught they kill her with rake to save their own life and marriage
hmmm, let me go Google search "killing unfaithful women" *Son:* I was with my dad all the time, well ok 1.5 minutes he was gone, errrm my bad I really don't know how long dad was gone.
This guy didn't have a good defense lawyers bc there was so much the prosecutor said that should have been overruled. He needs a new trial and new attorney. BTW it's not a crime to shop at Goodwill. Really Prosecutor your lame.
She was probably the one doing the DNA search cause she was pregnant and wanted to see if she could find out who the baby daddy was. Uterine ablasion or abortion?
If he went to all this trouble planning to kill her and make it look like an accident ; getting closer to his kids , waiting till she had surgery ... Why then stab her in the BACK with a pitch fork??? I could consider that if it was spur of the moment action maybe but not a premeditated plan . He's clearly not a moron. The prosecution didn't prove a thing here. Our system has serious flaws.
She didn't deserve to die. But this shows how many people's lives can be destroyed by a cheating spouse/partner. Now her kids do not have either parent to raise the kids.
Prosecution *proved* nothing. This guy is guilty of naivete, not murder. Tristan doesn't know EXACTLY how many minutes his dad was out of his sight but estimates 90 seconds X 2, therefore he 'changed' his testimony.
For a minute I thought he did a google search 'killing unfaithful women' from his own computer & IP address unbelievable. What has he said about that, can't really blame the son, must have been one of the farm workers, 'honest'.

Did the defense hire a forensic expert regarding the corn rake. Was it empaled where the prongs of raked were in an upward position or a downward position ? That’s hugely important and I’ve not heard a word about this yet. Also, one says pet carrier there, wasn’t there, was there.....,
So which was it? Was there any blood on Todd? Any finger prints or other forensic findings? Someone said she had a vaginal tightening up surgery? She was supposed to rest, not lift over 10Lbs. Normally if excessive bleeding a person would contact doctor as that’s usually what ppl are told in any kind of surgery. So why wouldn’t she call doctor and go lay down.
I agree. She indicated she specialized in Forensic Pathology, not Forensics Physics. I don't think she's qualified to make the judgement on whether a fall on the corn rake was possible or not. I also find it disturbing that this dude that drove up and turned Trysten away from looking at his mom, then drove him back to the house (in Todd's truck), *and* walked right up to the shed, but not inside is not only very peculiar that he happened to be right there. But that he essentially was ALL OVER the crime scene and vehicle. How can they say they didn't see any other footprints around the shed if this guy walked all around it minutes later?!
Now she's talking to the jurors like they are stupid
This guy needs new lawyers on an appeal. They sucked and he is in jail because of it.
Guilty
This was the most annoying closing argument EVER! I wanted to scream if she said “It just so happens” one more time I was going to loose it! I’m surprised no one in the court room went bonkers😖
kimi6767 horrible public speaker. She could use a course or two in eloquent speaking.
@@lucanolallo1776 it's more the type of person she is. She has an abrasive quality to her everytime speaks to anyone.
Loose what? 😂😂😂
Mindy Miljour I wasn’t brave enough to point that out. Good for you.
@@lucanolallo1776 right
To see what an actual guilty person acts like look at chis watts, todd is the polar opposite of that
No he isn't ffs 🙄
Its a show...you have been duped ahha. Chris Watts plead guilty and this guys still selling a story!
hes too calm to be guilty
No he's not. He's numb
Ever watch a sociopathic killer? They calm af!
Wow prosecutor stepped up to the plate! 👍
Could the boy friend have done it
That prosecutor really annoys me 🙈
Am I the only one thinking her son did it and the father is protecting him. The teen hunts, fishes, the tv shows they watch, and works manual labor (so has the strength). Probably pinned against his mom due to her affair and obv sides with dad because they have a better bond.
I think the son was away from the barn for an extended period of time. First the son said he was never away, when he testified he said he left for a couple drinks of water. I'll bet he was off doing something, loss track of time. 13 yrs old....come on. When all the questions started he went with what he felt 'obligated' to say.
That came to my mind too.
He was 100 lb 13-year-old boy.
Todd was almost 300 lb of the time of the murder. He lost a ton of weight in jail
If this man got off free I wouldn't feel sorry for the naive woman who married him next so many people defending this non emotional man. I have watched so many documentaries about police have to reopen cases that were thought to be an accident after the second spouse ends up dead in similar circumstances. Let's save lives and keep this man on prison. It's funny how people lay blame when a second crime is done saying they should have locked him up the 1st time before he had the chance to do or again. Well here is the 1st time
He searched for "once you hunt man you will feel the thirst" and made a silly excuse about it being related to a movie. But saying he dosnt know who searched for "cheating wives." How convenient
He is a jealous man who gave his wife a friend list. If he had gotten out he would be untrustworthy towards other women paranoid
He would have married someone else quickly to raise his kids then killed her when she saw he was psycho and tried to leave.
Glad other people see sense.
I don't think he did it at all. And watched all trial
Well stated Ms Prosecutor COMMON SENSE !
Judge! Make her shut her mouth,please!
I’m ready to take a nap 😴 her voice is putting me to sleep OMG !!!!
Yes .. she’s pitiful !
annoying saying he's the only one with a motive . I'm sure the lovers wife just loved sweet amy.
THEORY What if when husband and Tristan left a lover came over to see Amy. She had extra breakfast cooking. So when the boys returned home early the lover hides and Amy offers to help husband so not to be suspicious. Then when the lover thinks they are gonna be caught they kill her with rake to save their own life and marriage
hmmm, let me go Google search "killing unfaithful women"
*Son:* I was with my dad all the time, well ok 1.5 minutes he was gone, errrm my bad I really don't know how long dad was gone.
@NibiruLives Wow its like God is testifying against him.
@@JabberJawz. I think you're right 👍
That 911 call yep
He would've only had max 2 min to kill her without being seen. He wasn't the only one that didn't hear her, her son didn't either.
I'm not from Iowa, but know people there and they are pretty Stoic people.
Did you check on everyone?
One of the Best Prosecutors I’ve ever seen, she tried to wear him down. He was awesome
That defense team left him no chance. I’m sorry but he should’ve fired them and hired a bulldog of attorney. So many holes for me
WHO Killed This Woman Please Come Forward God Knows Your Name On The Day Of Judgment We Will See You There. Amen
God told me the name, Todd or Tad...Idk
FREE TODD HE DIDN'T DO IT
Did he have a polygraph taken ?
Ms. Hughes rocked it!
What the heck is he writing???????
Doodling....lol
This guy didn't have a good defense lawyers bc there was so much the prosecutor said that should have been overruled. He needs a new trial and new attorney. BTW it's not a crime to shop at Goodwill. Really Prosecutor your lame.
Everything she says is speculation/
Nothing has been proven/
I think he’s innocent/
Have they proven she didn’t fall on the rake???
he looked more guilty when he was arrested, but he is the only one with motive
what about the other woman???
@@ta6531 nobody was on the farm that day but Family members
the son could have done it...and father is covering for her.
@@maryalico4313 he did it because of her affairs
Not Guilty Let him out of Jail and let him go back to his children and his Farm!!!
He needs a new trail
He is 💯 guilty she was not going to get half the farm if she left because the farm always comes first before wife and children
Did they say why she was having a D&C? Was she pregnant? More motive?
I think it was endometriosis, but not sure
She had uterine ablation, guess it's close to dnc
She was probably the one doing the DNA search cause she was pregnant and wanted to see if she could find out who the baby daddy was. Uterine ablasion or abortion?
Trigger that finally pissed him off!!
In my opinion I was thinking ectopic until I heard someone looked up dna real father etc....I wanna know what poison made her dizzy
How did 12 people actually find him guilty? It’s all circumstantial “evidence”
Ineffective assistant of counsel! 🤷🏼♀️…✌🏼🇨🇦
If he went to all this trouble planning to kill her and make it look like an accident ; getting closer to his kids , waiting till she had surgery ... Why then stab her in the BACK with a pitch fork??? I could consider that if it was spur of the moment action maybe but not a premeditated plan . He's clearly not a moron. The prosecution didn't prove a thing here. Our system has serious flaws.
Looks like she never washed her hair
She didn't deserve to die. But this shows how many people's lives can be destroyed by a cheating spouse/partner. Now her kids do not have either parent to raise the kids.
I cant stand this woman!
What makes sense is that you don't make sense
He killed Amy because he wanted to be in the courthouse to meet you who aren't you flattered
mistrial all day
Amen
I think he covered for their son.
If she fell backwards onto that rake,that would have been a forced puncture
Prosecution *proved* nothing. This guy is guilty of naivete, not murder.
Tristan doesn't know EXACTLY how many minutes his dad was out of his sight but estimates 90 seconds X 2, therefore he 'changed' his testimony.
What a weak defense attorney, needs new trial
For a minute I thought he did a google search 'killing unfaithful women' from his own computer & IP address unbelievable. What has he said about that, can't really blame the son, must have been one of the farm workers, 'honest'.
He said he didn't do that search when he was on the stand
J H oh and no guilty defendants have never ever lied on stands?
@@lovepet4565 you literally asked in your original post "what has he said about that...". I was just telling you what he said on the stand.
J H no not my post , you mean the other lady
Can't blame son, who changed stories 2 times, had access to iPad.
Brilliant closing from the Prosecutor! Well done
I don’t believe he killed his wife
She is one inept attorney!!! Horrible defense.and worse prosecution
Most annoying woman ever!!! Please don’t let her back in a courtroom!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you watch rosebaum ? “Isn’t it true” that was the most annoying lawyer I’ve watched..lol
Sarah Prosse 😂😂😂😂
Edilanya Gere if I was judging I would have called her miss piggy or a dumpling 😂😂😂 I said annoying!!!
Cheryl S I may have to now lol
Hope Buckley I just found this trial yesterday, watching from Ireland. This prosecutor voice went through my head 🙈🙈
