That's the first time I ever seen a courtroom not rise for the jury! That tells me a lot what this judge thinks of a jury and also the Attorneys in this trial! And then they let an alternate go early then show him leaving....🙈 Truly a Sloppy court.
Trials would be so much better if all witnesses were as clear and thorough than Det. Sprague. SHe really knows the case and did an excellent job. Prosecutors are also good and very organised, they prepared the case very professionally
Wow could the audio be any worse? One would think, knowing interrogation tapes will most likely be viewed in court, the state, County, city whomever would invest in some decent audio equipment.
David life is truly OVER. He has no one left. God bless his mother who had to deal with this piece of chit. Bless your life Jackson. You'll go far in life due to this horrible event. Youll supercede everyone. Orlando got this one right!!
I think I’m in the minority here, but I appreciate a courtroom free of dramatics. This is not entertainment (well, it’s not intended for that purpose anyway), and the jurors are not allowed to use their emotions in making a decision. This is simply about presenting evidence to try to convince a jury that the man who was arrested is the one who committed the crime. I get anxious when trials seem to be about the lawyers instead of the parties, so the fact that these lawyers are not stars actually is refreshing. But like I said, it seems like mine is a pretty unpopular viewpoint.
Exactly! I was reading one person's remark below saying " You have to watch (insert name here) trial; it was so much better than this one. Im just thinking " this is not a TV show! This is real life... someone is dead and someone else's life hangs in the balance. Sorry it's not entertaining enough!"
While your opinion might not be popular, you did an excellent job articulating it. I’ve only seen Day 3’s proceedings and appreciated the straightforward presentations and pace.
I also agree with you. It is not a “show” it is a trial and the futures and emotions of the defendant and the families involved are the primary concern. Not us watching at home
Shanti was absolutely dead by time David seen walking at 11:50. How does he explain that? He was there while she was murdered but heard nothing and never went upstairs at all all day until around 4pm when “found” her. Never curious where she was.
This judge is really laid back as far as courtroom etiquette is concerned. I have NEVER seen a trial where a judge didn’t require everyone to stand when the jury enters and exits the courtroom. After watching the Tim Ferriter trial with Judge Howard Coates presiding, I guess I’ve become spoiled. He really knows how to run his courtroom all the way down to making sure attorneys, when walking away from the podium, are given hand held 🎤 so that the audio quality isn’t affected. I also 🧡 Judge Clifton Newman who presided over the Alex Murdaugh trial. He is also one of my 🔝 5 favorite judges! This judge 👩🏻⚖️ could definitely take a few pointers from these judges👨🏼⚖️👨🏾⚖️ that’s for sure!🤨
I kind of love that she didn’t have the ability to remember how terrible he treated her, but every time he called her he was so annoyed and upset. He tortured himself and she retained none of it.
Detective Sprague….. you rock in my eyes, reeled off a lot of info in there and some golden nuggets and it appears you ended up looking where I originally felt it first started as 6:14:52 and the L rail is the linear trauma and skull fracture if there was also his weight on her back falling forward (just imo) we appreciate you even if I’m 🇬🇧 RIP Shanti Cooper (sorry don’t mean to offend but I’m not happy using that spineless creeps Suriname)
Oh he is innocent but felt need to change sheets. The sheets in bed where clean, no blood even though blood inside side frame. But sheets in closet had blood. And spattered different spots not an area say from menstruaal blood. I guess he just didn’t want the EMT’s to see the blood as his embarrassing. So changed bed and cleaned a bit before pulling shanti from tub, doing CPR🤣, and calling 911. Oh, how on earth get her on mattress cover but sheets on bed? He is a magician.
What did David do all day? Well besides destroying the house not much. Sometimes walked the dogs sometimes did some gardening. Not sure what else really
Wow what a shame. Many of us have been waiting for this trial for years and to see such a sloppy court is truly sad. From the judge to the attorneys. No words.
OMG - quality of interview audio is shocking. I hope it's clearer for the jury, it's impossible to understand anything. Can't even see the defendant - how is that useful? I'm not watching the rest of this - can't see Tronnes nor hear so might as well give it a miss. Going over to Maya Kowalski trial.
I’ve watched enough true crime to realize that there are a ton of factors in how likely it is you’ll get away with a crime. Competency of the lawyers involved and thoroughness of the detectives are the largest. Location too. For instance, I live in Winnipeg Canada, population 750000. Historically there has been 25 or so murders annually, but the last 3 or 4 years it’s risen to over 50. Obviously with twice the workload there is twice the likelihood that something will be missed. So I see great opportunities in Winnipeg👍 My point, though, is that if I had committed a murder and I saw Detective Sprague assigned to my case I’d just walk into the police station and give up. 🤷🏼♂️
This judge is no Judge Dorow. She doesn’t treat her Jury with the kind respect that Judge Dorow does. Judge Dorow also showed more respect to both the State & Defense equally, even including Darrell Brooks.
The defense attorney, "blunt force trauma could mean hitting a toilet, shower, floor etc." Me: I mean yeah, HE could have slammed her against the floor, toilet, or shower to make those injuries happen. The medical examiner, "yeah all of those could have caused it, but the injuries on both sides of her head and to her neck are not what we see in an accidental injury." The defense should have let him be after that-no further questions. They are digging their own grave.
@@my1viceI know right! Why follow Hundreds of years of court room etiquette... It's 2023, do whatever you want! Anything goes... Rules are for them not you... Right?
This is like no other courtroom I have seen. Not professional at all. The judge and the attorneys have absolutely no charisma. If I was a juror I would be falling asleep. Also could the cameraman please show something besides the back of this guys head. I just watched the Timothy Ferrier trial and it was so good. If you guys haven’t watched it I highly recommend it.
There were witnesses about this the other day that didn't remember & didn't one say wet body dry clothes? I heard a couple say wet hair. About to watch today's testimony so sounds like there will be no differing memories of it.
@@wilsal2485to me, with the evidence about the diluted blood in the tub, this shows that he took her to the tub to wash her after he’d killed her. I think the damp hair is a very interesting piece of evidence.
It was livable. He wanted to gut it completely. He didn't have the money and his late wife was sick of working and paying for his dream. His dream became her nightmare
@@melissa74066 100%. Clearly Shanti was a very intelligent capable woman but master manipulator came into her life. Did you hear his jail phone calls to his poor late Mother?, despicable. Let's hope he gets what he deserves and finally realises his swimming pool filter isn't his biggest problem. RIP Shanti and strength to her son.

@@Ira_Rosenberg Well, it's not hard to come up with possibilities.... - she wanted a divorce and the house sold - she discovered his boyfriend And so on....
But according to David’s timeline she was up working so even if took ring off at night all these questions from defense regarding the ring possible being taken off by shanti doesn’t matter.
Cops found the ring in David's house or on him 4 months after the murder and he had always told the detectives he didn't know where it was so that's why they bring up the 💍
I am shocked that the defense is letting Detective Theresa Sprague go on and on an on without objecting. Saying what other people said even. His counsel isn't doing him any favors for sure
Excellent testimony of detective Sprague. No hesitation giving her reply’s. She’s a real asset to her department. Very professional.👍🇦🇺

She's too busy writing a novel
That’s FL for ya!
I thought that was strange as well 🤔
I care not about the 18 th century courtroom theatrics.
The judge kept things moving along. These trials cost taxpayers quite enough to begin with.
100% agreed. Just shows such disrespect for the jury who are regular citizens giving up their time to do their civic duty.
Trials would be so much better if all witnesses were as clear and thorough than Det. Sprague. SHe really knows the case and did an excellent job. Prosecutors are also good and very organised, they prepared the case very professionally

Detective Sprague..great work👏👏 Justice for Shanti👊💙🙏
I love this pathologist! Feeble attempt by defense to shake him.
All the trials I've seen in Fl, this is definitely the smallest courtroom I've ever seen. And so tired of seeing the back of defendant's head.
I live in Florida right by the courthouse and it's small...I only had to go for child support stuff though 🤷

@@DamnitDanaI get great satisfaction thinking about him freaking out about the mail for all of eternity.

We have officers watching the cameras in interview rooms just in case the person being detained needs anything….. BAHAHAHA

It seemed went on break when DNA witness but came back and he didn’t finish. Did I just miss it somehow? Anyone know if his DNA on neck swab?
Why would he live her twice. Why on earth would he move her where he did? Makes no sense to put her there to move her that far.
Sprague! Awesome!
I wonder if he is looking at the pictures!
Where is there an actual audible version of this?
Utube
6 hours 46 mins in - this is evidence???? Seriously??? It's just garbled mumbling. How is this admissible???
What a lousy recording! Had me cracking up during the first part though. I hope it was comprehensible in the courtroom.
If y'all haven't watched his interview with the detectives..it's so strange .I live a hour away from where they lived so I was kinda invested 🤗
This couldn't have been that planned. Beat someone up and say they drowned in a tub?
Yup not the sharpest tool in the shed
48 hours which is on TH-cam shows a good insight into the house and DT.
what is his motive, why did he do it?
State doesn't have to prove motive.

If the zombie fits you must acquit!
We’re not trying to trick anyone?!?!?!! BAHAHAHA
He may not be innocent of the murder, but the state did nothing to show he's guilty! If I was on the jury, it would be a "not guilty!"
OK. LOL.
You've got to be kidding!!!
Thank God you are NOT on this jury. Were you on the OJ jury because they also blatantly ignored the evidence…
