This guy’s testimony is even worse than the testimony Robert Telles gave in his trial when he took the stand, and I didn’t think that was possible. The worst defendant testimony ever.
He’s on par with that psycho mom who slowly killed her autistic son and then claimed she had a condition where she blocks out chunks of time especially when she’s abusing him.
I love how he spent the entire time on direct trying to portray himself as a DV victim, then dismantled that defense on cross by show his arrogance. That cross examination was chef's kiss. 👌🏿
When he was talking about when he first met Emily and he said they were “chopping it up” even he caught himself that that phase sure should have never been said at all. This is unbelievable horrific!!! RIP Emily!!! Prayers up for Emily’s family and friends 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️
I know I am old but why would one want to get married then immediately turn around and be with other people? I bet Emily never agreed to be polyamorous.
Honestly, I think she knew and thought it would be ok. When Joseph started his testimony, I was like dang, this guy has a lot of female friends. They were still in the honeymoon phase when they married. Just because the victim is young and pretty doesn’t mean she is a saint. She obviously had a lot in common with the defendant…until she didn’t.
I don’t either and I don’t believe a 125 lb woman was hitting a 200 lb 6’’3’ man. He probably got mad cause she said she was dumping him to the curb like the dirty dog he was.
The defense lawyer is not helping him at all. It’s even as if she wants to give the impression that she does everything possible for him, but lets him dig his own grave on the stand. It works, bravo
So he could de-arm her from a laptop, candles, etc. but he can’t from a “gun” while she’s lying down with a pillow over her head? I am just soooooo irate at this guy right now. Putting her family through this grueling “testimony” is a monstrous move.
The cross was the most obnoxious cross exam I have ever seen! I've never found myself screaming at my phone before, but today was that day. This guy is extremely annoying.
Funny how he suddenly remembered all the details for self-defense, but can’t remember much of anything after that. It was just the opposite at the police interview. He couldn’t remember the self-defense facts, but remembered all the other brutality. It’s really a pretty bad tactic to say he doesn’t remember the police interview and then occasionally doesn’t even remember the video that was shown in court. He’s evil, he got caught, and now he simply cannot fathom accepting responsibility for his behavior.
So easy to accuse someone (that you killed) that can’t fight back. Spewing these lies in front of Emily’s family is just disgusting. Why does his lawyer have to do recaps of his answers? “So basically what you are saying is …..” She keeps adding her own points into it.
It's amazing how much he avoids the truth. " she had been talking about seeing friends, so I just went with that info." No, you lied and said she was with friends. "After the events that happened," no, after you murdered her, shot her, stabbed her, and dismembered her.
Girls, you will never be able to change a man from polyamourous to monogamous. When a man tells you who he is, believe him and if it's not for you move on, you deserve more and you don't love him, you love who you want him to be.
He’s definitely not doing himself any favors on the stand by describing how he essentially wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He knew Emily didn’t want a polyamorous relationship, so why continue with her?
How at the end of this video he describes how he can’t put the pieces back together, it’s like a puzzle piece. He mentions things like that different times. Yeah, bud , you dismembered your wife.
his eyes are soulless wow, just looking at him scares me. I honestly doubt this is his first time killing someone. Poor Emily wtf did she see in this creep. Oh and what a LIAR!
@ yeh girl his stepmom was murdered in 2009 however no one was charged in that case and it remains open. I really doubt this is this dudes first time killing someone
This is why its a terrible idea to take the stand in your own defense he cant keep up the same sad facade as he did on direct which looks terrible to the jury, he's unable to prepare for the questions that they ask. Its 9 times out of 10 a terrible idea
If he is found guilty of 1st degree murder, its 15 to life, if aggravated murder its lwop. He fessed up to shooting and dismembering her. He will never talk his way outta this one. This trial is a waste of money and court time.🤷♀️
So he is on trial for Murder and says he didnt focus on the details of the video of his Police Interview? He is not doing himself any favours. He is trying so hard to distance himself from the actions that he took, it wont work!
When the prosecutor kept asking that he wasnt disputing each body part cut off, she should have followed by asking if he is suggesting someone else did those things. When he said no she should have then said, so you dismembered her.
Funny how he could remember all the stuff about her being abusive throughout their relationship, details even. Couldn't remember a single thing about happened or even telling the police. Or even the video we all saw. Also can't remember buying a gun three years before he met Emily. I hate this dude. Why did he want to on the stand just to play games? Dude should have taken the plea. The self defense theory is not gonna work.
Unbelievable that he speaks about himself, after killing her, as if he were the victim. He and his dog mourned, he had to see it over and over again, he was traumatized. Wtf?!
I been watching these for 20 years & this is top 3 most pathetic testimony of any defendant who i ever watched who took the stand. I thought the direct was bad, but the cross was epic! This is how he acts when women challenge him. The best part is he thinks he's doing great. What an ego maniac psychopath!😂
Just stop! it’s not working. the video the video it is you on the video giving information so therefore you did know the date. You did know the information! pretending now you don’t remember is ridiculous.
If memory just "dissolves" as he claimed, then his team would have brought an expert to testify to that. If they went to therapy because she was violent with him, they would have subpoenaed their therapist and records. If it was self defense and in part due to battered spouse syndrome as implied, they again would have brought in an expert. Its all b.s. and both him and his lawyer knows it.
I hope they send this nut to jail for a long time with his selective memory if she ever did hit him I see why he’s someone who will provoke you and play victim like he’s doing now, no accountability for his actions poor Emily
There are so many lies and inconsistencies in his testimony, especially when compared to his police interview. He is obviously trying to manipulate events to match a self-defense theory. If he felt that she was going for her gun as he implied on the stand, it would have been one of the 1st things he told police.
Love how the same guy who cut up his wife says “do have to cuss?”
This guy’s testimony is even worse than the testimony Robert Telles gave in his trial when he took the stand, and I didn’t think that was possible. The worst defendant testimony ever.
He’s on par with that psycho mom who slowly killed her autistic son and then claimed she had a condition where she blocks out chunks of time especially when she’s abusing him.
The defense lady's questions remind me of A Heards lawyer.
Agreed. His testimony was too contrived. I didn't believe him.
He's like Ali Abulaban..a snake on earth...pure unadulterated EVIL
Him and ali abulaban
I love how he spent the entire time on direct trying to portray himself as a DV victim, then dismantled that defense on cross by show his arrogance. That cross examination was chef's kiss. 👌🏿
Quite possibly the worst defendant testimony I've ever seen. And I've seen a few.
I think darrell brooks would have been a contender had he not screwed up his right to testify.
@@TheGdav0202idk this is pretty bad.
Totally agree
Yeah, Joseph is a really bad liar, and a cheat, and a 1st degree murd£r£r of his wife. He probably thought he was quite convincing in his “testimony”
Agreed! He had to testify though as it's a self defence case, but his testimony is so contrived.....
How was she possibly threatening to kill him with a gun when her head was covered by a pillow when he shot her?
So true!
And he told her to turn off her phone.
He tells the cops and court he hadn't eaten or slept in a few days,but yet says he went to breakfast with his sister.
And the award for a crummy liar goes to…..
His testimony was so contrived, it's ridiculous! And his lawyer is truly awful!! Reminiscent of Amber Heards Lawyer, Elaine!
And dinner at Twigs
When he was talking about when he first met Emily and he said they were “chopping it up” even he caught himself that that phase sure should have never been said at all. This is unbelievable horrific!!! RIP Emily!!! Prayers up for Emily’s family and friends 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️
I was dumbfounded when I heard him say that. He was saying things that made him so guilty nail in the coffin
@@cristysanders4660he also mentions it’s like a puzzle, there’s so many pieces. Poor choice of wording for sure.
I know I am old but why would one want to get married then immediately turn around and be with other people? I bet Emily never agreed to be polyamorous.
You are not old. And you are correct. 🐦
Honestly, I think she knew and thought it would be ok. When Joseph started his testimony, I was like dang, this guy has a lot of female friends.

He was just a constant cheater. That’s it.
The defense lawyer is not helping him at all. It’s even as if she wants to give the impression that she does everything possible for him, but lets him dig his own grave on the stand. It works, bravo
Everyone overuses and misuses the word narcissist but I think we’ve actually got one here!!
Plus, he is a psychopathic sadist. Very dangerous...
I love how he sips that water like it's a vodka and red bull. Hilarious. He's so calm and nonchalant.
So he could de-arm her from a laptop, candles, etc. but he can’t from a “gun” while she’s lying down with a pillow over her head? I am just soooooo irate at this guy right now. Putting her family through this grueling “testimony” is a monstrous move.
The fact that his attorney did not have any cross examination of his testimony tells me she didn’t believe him either.
She guides him into talking and talking on his own and digging his own grave further and further.
He conveniently can't remember anything. This is one of the most annoying testimonies I have ever seen. He's full of it.
The cross was the most obnoxious cross exam I have ever seen! I've never found myself screaming at my phone before, but today was that day. This guy is extremely annoying.
@@Hylian_Mew_ Agree. I've seen dozens of trials. I've never wanted to punch a man through my phone before.

Why does his lawyer have to do recaps of his answers? “So basically what you are saying is …..” She keeps adding her own points into it.
That’s why he can’t even look his own lawyer in the face. Every person in that courtroom should be smart enough to know he’s lying through his teeth.
@@StarryNightsAreForDreams I was shocked that the jury didn’t come back with a guilty right away. And they want to hear testimony?
yeh she leads way too much
He wasn't even catching his own lies and lying again
It's amazing how much he avoids the truth. " she had been talking about seeing friends, so I just went with that info." No, you lied and said she was with friends. "After the events that happened," no, after you murdered her, shot her, stabbed her, and dismembered her.

Well said!
Like pulling teeth…damn that was hard listening to that crock of crap be spewed…how conveniently forgetful!!!
I have never witnessed a more discredited testimony.
i agree- ghastly
He’s definitely not doing himself any favors on the stand by describing how he essentially wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He knew Emily didn’t want a polyamorous relationship, so why continue with her?
Let's all pause in silence while Joseph has his emotional moment. 😂
🤣 his first and last public performance
Why is he explaining things like we don’t know what a caulk gun is… like he is a medical examiner breaking down the big terminology 😂😂
After watching the state cross examine I hope the jury saw right through his lies.
How at the end of this video he describes how he can’t put the pieces back together, it’s like a puzzle piece. He mentions things like that different times. Yeah, bud , you dismembered your wife.
When he commented about having a heart attack… nobody paid attention to that
I was waiting 😂😂😂 wanted to see it
Just his eyes say he's a murderer. No soul
Omg poor Emily having she had to deal with this man in life and death! Justice For Emily!
His own testimony and his attorney made him look more guilty..The prosecutor doesn't even need to cross examine him..RIP Emily 🙏
his eyes are soulless wow, just looking at him scares me. I honestly doubt this is his first time killing someone. Poor Emily wtf did she see in this creep. Oh and what a LIAR!
@@Christy-. Apparently his step mom was found dead,I think murdered and they never found anyone responsible
@ yeh she was stabbed to death and he’s their main suspect in that case. 🤯🤯🤯
@@Christy-.he is, or his father Joseph Sr?
@@Christy-.WHAAAT🤯🫣
@ yeh girl his stepmom was murdered in 2009 however no one was charged in that case and it remains open. I really doubt this is this dudes first time killing someone
It's all about him. Her poor family. This guy is unbelievable.
Wow this is painful to watch.. lock him up and throw away the key!
Omg, the fake dabbing of the tears while attorneys are at side bar, I can't!!!
So if he’s all “ if you say so..” and “ok” then done deal! This will be easy mode for the jury.
Just put him behind bars!!!
I thought their phones were dead??? How was she able to go on it again? Ridiculous! Worst defendant ever!
He’s the worst ever. Hurting my ears listening to this jerk. And his attorney is horrible too 🤦♀️
His Lawyer reminds me of Amber Heards Lawyer, Elaine.
@@kandykitten10yes. Exactly. Just as horrible as her.
This guy acts like he studied a bad movie for his acting performance. So fake and unrealistic!
This is why its a terrible idea to take the stand in your own defense he cant keep up the same sad facade as he did on direct which looks terrible to the jury, he's unable to prepare for the questions that they ask. Its 9 times out of 10 a terrible idea

He fessed up to shooting and dismembering her. He will never talk his way outta this one. This trial is a waste of money and court time.🤷♀️
I guess the justice system insists he receive a trial if he demands one but the sad truth is he probably wont even remember it.
I completely agree
@@Nope-NotToday he is actually facing 35 to life right now as his minimum
@TeeanaSykas I didn't know that, ty. Why is that?
Said he Couldn’t focus but he managed to do a tattoo
Admire the prosecutor, reminds me of Johnny Depp"s lawyer
HE HAS SELECTIVE MEMORY
THAT BENEFITS HIM.
Yeah the whole “if you say so, if you have proof, then yes” ugh. I hate his fake acting
He tried to “put the pieces back to together” when he finally remembered. Too late, they are in separate plastic bags by then.
Thats right.. her name was emily not jigsaw
So he is on trial for Murder and says he didnt focus on the details of the video of his Police Interview? He is not doing himself any favours. He is trying so hard to distance himself from the actions that he took, it wont work!
"Incase i flirt with someone " this is insane. Guys what is this narcissism?
Note how he never makes eye contact with his attorney
"From the video?" His memory dissolved.
More than horrific
When the prosecutor kept asking that he wasnt disputing each body part cut off, she should have followed by asking if he is suggesting someone else did those things. When he said no she should have then said, so you dismembered her.
6:53:41 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 get his tail!! He’s playing games on that stand. Him and Sarah Boone are two peas in a pod!!! 🫛
Did he really try to use the “help my grandma” defense? Ya, you’re a really great guy. 😂
Funny how he could remember all the stuff about her being abusive throughout their relationship, details even. Couldn't remember a single thing about happened or even telling the police. Or even the video we all saw. Also can't remember buying a gun three years before he met Emily.
I hate this dude. Why did he want to on the stand just to play games? Dude should have taken the plea. The self defense theory is not gonna work.
Right!! I can’t imagine how infuriated Emily’s family is listening to this clown.
Gotta love this prosecutor's cross examination she's Calling him out on his lies
My money says this guy was on meth prior to the murder and on through the next days until the arrest.
Or shrooms and everything else! Binder for sure!
What makes you think that?
Oh, what a witch she doesn’t want to get romantic with her husband who cheats on her and wants to see his ex-wife. Hmm
His attorney needs to retire...SMH
Im sure the jury already knows the verdict, the evidence of the dismembered body would be enough for me not to have an unreasonable doubt!!
At no point did he think to call 911? I made a mistake in self defense? You decided to cut her up and bag your wifes body? No freakin way
6:51:06 he’s a psycho!!!! Praying for Emily’s family. 😢
7:08:10 his temper flares up when the attorney steps closer,,"I AM READING THIS". Okay psycho
Where is his ex-wife? That would be an interesting testimony.
His friends will never trust anyone again after this!
He's done. He inserted his own nails so to speak.
I told Emily to turn her phone off…we turned our phones off…she was scrolling through her phone
Slam Dunk win for Prosecution!! Defendant is his worst enemy!
“ Dog ate my homework waaa 😢 “
His whole testimony cross in a nutshell.
Have mercy for a widower. What a poor boy! Nobody should be in the position to have to dismember someone. It’s just so tiring and stressful.
Is this a court appointed defense lawyer?
@@patriciablue2739 terrible lawyer
I bet yes. She's not great.
She has been a Public Defender for ~22 years. A salaried state employee.
I would think everyone in that courtroom apart from his family would like to give him a wake up call
Unbelievable that he speaks about himself, after killing her, as if he were the victim. He and his dog mourned, he had to see it over and over again, he was traumatized. Wtf?!
5:04:08 “I’m sorry I’m having a heart attack” 🤦🏾♂️ really? looking pretty calm to be having one
Cross begins at 6:14
Prosecution attorney sounds like Johnny Depps attorney. Is it her?
I think she’s taken some of her demeanor from Camille Vasquez. Which is awesome! Cause Camille is AMAZING! ❤
I been watching these for 20 years & this is top 3 most pathetic testimony of any defendant who i ever watched who took the stand. I thought the direct was bad, but the cross was epic! This is how he acts when women challenge him. The best part is he thinks he's doing great. What an ego maniac psychopath!😂
his lawyer is so ott
Is someone playing basketball in the courtroom? What’s all the banging noise?
Ohh being a bit cocky now huh??! Wow!!! 😮 😂 towards the end of the
Verdict = GUILTY ✅✅✅✅
They don’t even cuff him???
The lack of empathy is remarkable
He should have just taken a plea deal. He's toast.
His psychopathic narcissism wouldn’t allow for that…I’m happy about that cause he’s for sure getting life
Just stop! it’s not working. the video the video it is you on the video giving information so therefore you did know the date. You did know the information! pretending now you don’t remember is ridiculous.
I know right!!! Insufferable 😣 I want to reach in and shake him! This whole skit is ridiculous
This is the first time in catching this trial stream - what is all that background noise?
So now this guy has memory loss even a couple years prior to murdering his wife??
I think he would've killed again, if not caught.
Prayers for Emily's family🙏🙏🙏
interesting -as soon as he begins to lie at about 4:29 his speech becomes much more fractured and hesitant anyone else notice this?
Yes I noticed it also this guy creeps me out and he's never shown any remorse
I think this guy is just playing games on the stand trying to annoy the court as much as possible before he goes down. Boy he deserves life in prison!
“So it was like this…” really… to help your grandma?? What??? 😂
His testimony is so contrived, he's a terrible liar & his memories, or lack of, are too convenient.
He could have at least looked at his lawyer make it more convincing, its so obvious hes lying worse story telling iv ever seen..
That poor family having to listen to this....
Around 5:00 Fake crying, no tears.
Upset or concerned about the cabin filling with toxic smoke?
If memory just "dissolves" as he claimed, then his team would have brought an expert to testify to that.
