She may have seen his face, but she didn’t know him, and it was a high stress situation that lasted seconds before she ran out of the house. So making a definitive ID is still difficult.
Cidalia Martins I was in an extremely stressed state after a crime and it had the opposite effect on me. I recalled every detail about my assailants for 3 weeks.
Saffron Muse not the same for everyone, I panicked and my mind jumbled up the man who touched my chest outside a grocery store on my way to school. As soon as I stepped into my high school building I told the school safety officers (who wear the nypd uniform), and they immediately called in other officers and took me on a van to do the canvas with them. There were guys outside that were with him but I suddenly couldn’t remember which one it had been. I said I wasn’t sure, because I didn’t want to get the wrong person in trouble (ALTHOUGH they had been right there when it happened and I heard some of them laugh). So yeah, not everyone will remember every detail, some WILL forget. This was all in less than 30 minutes
yeah that certianly is incriminating however the other evidence was destroyed. The fact that there is a single drop of blood is sus. Like no other dna of his was there besides a drop of blood which easily could have been placed. And its weird how the mom saw the man but couldnt distinguish him. The mom sounds sus as hell.
@@OmegaLoL7 You're right that it's not an abundance of evidence, but think of the confluence of coincidences it would have taken to get his blood there. The picture in the video showed that the blood was still bright red, meaning it was not only dropped recently but also drawn recently. If the theory is that the real attacker placed the blood there, we're talking an attacker that had a sealed vial of Justin's freshly drawn blood, was caught in the act, then filled a medicine dropper and dripped exactly one drop of blood on the ground as he was escaping. The theory that the police placed it there doesn't fit, since there was no initial DNA match for the blood, meaning Justin wasn't a past offender and the police wouldn't have had a vial of his blood on file. That only leaves the possibility of an officer or investigator who knew Justin personally, had a vendetta against him, had access to the crime scene, drew blood from Justin recently without him noticing, then placed it at the scene without an honest cop noticing. Impossible, no, but pretty damn improbable.
Dude comments like yours make us men look bad. Learn how to respect women or don't comment at all because comments like yours are why women judge us men that don't think like that s if we do and its bullshit
yeah this seems like american sensationalism to me, it isnt explained if she was able to describe him. But apparently she described him as " Caucasian or Hispanic, approximately 20-30 years old, 5'7" tall, clean shaven, with brown hair"
All i know is this his blood is at the scene and you don't admit guilt if your not guilty.He is a lying sack of shit and you can tell.As far as witness identification they are not accurate most of the time.
the perp drawing from DNA is b.s. recovered memories are unreliable - her recovered memories are also so vague and she names some guy that she vaguely remembers but doesn't say that it is him the guy had a douche bag lawyer that told him to plead no contest I don't believe that they would have gotten a conviction... seems very questionable to me
Peter Chae agreed.. how does something like that happen? Especially if the MAIN title is "girl attacked with shovel".. you'd think a weapon like that is bound to have evidence all over it thus carefully handled. I don't know :/
When u break a window and run the blood drop is a drop pattern cause of the motion of u are moving in looks like its been put there when I was first saw the video I was like I hope they get that bastard but the more I watch some things didnt add up
My gut tells me he didn't do it. The mother described the suspect she saw was either a dark Caucasian or a Hispanic man. He doesn't fit either discription
G the entire situation is fishy. brittani doesn't know why his number is in her phone. he wouldn't put it in there if he were going to hurt her. i went into detail on it if you check the most recent comments
So he was willing to ruin her life...practically kill her...destroy her family...and literally just go in with his life. He had a wife and 3 kids...and was living his life while pretending to be mentally sane &good person...ugh!!! WOW!
The wife and children came later, this was 5 years after the attack and as he said "none of them are old enough to be in school yet" meaning they were all under 5 years old. Cold blooded killer tried to murder a teenager for denying his advances and then went on to live a relatively normal life..scary stuff. Makes you wonder how many 'normal' people have killed in their life and gotten away with it.
Unfortunately this sounds like too many people in today’s world including one or two people I know personally. It’s called being a sociopath, some of which are very likely psychopathic.
Adeili Maya I totally agreed! What disgusts me are that him using a baby as if he is such a great father; and a mother couldn’t explain why her son’s one drop of blood ended up at the victim’s house?!
July 25, 2018, Justin Hansen was sentenced to 18 years in prison, followed by 2 years of probation. I can't stand when there is so much evidence, like DNA, witnesses statements, the victim giving a freaking name, and he/she STILL refuses to step up and take responsibility for his/her actions. Justin did apologize to Brittani for "what she went through", but still maintains that he is 100% innocent. Not only did he not own up, but his lawyer had the nerve to ask for a suspended sentence and to say, "Will putting Justin in jail do any good? It’s not going to bring back her eyesight or her appearance; it’s not going to make her trust the world again, but it will change the life of his children forever." Seriously?!? He should've thought about that before attacking a 17 year old with a shovel... She could've died and her life is changed for forever now. No, it won't bring back her eyesight, or change what happened that day, but she DESERVES justice. I couldn't believe the lawyer even said something so stupid. Does that mean we should let murderers off if they have kids? Because, putting the murderer in jail won't bring back the victim or change anything either?! Obviously, if you break the law, especially when it's a violent crime (like almost beating a teenage girl to death with a shovel), then YES, the offender SHOULD go to jail, kids or no kids. Absolutely one of the most ridiculous arguments I've ever heard a lawyer make. Glad Brittani FINALLY got some justice and can start putting this behind her. At least for the next 18 years, if he even serves his whole sentence. I would be terrified of the day he gets out.
👍 I'm glad he got what he deserved. What his lawyer said about the injuries he inflicted on her as if they nothing was absolutely disgusting and cruel.
I totally agree. I saw footage of him crying about missing his little daughter, I wanted to ask him “ can you imagine how horrible it would be if someone attacked one of your children like you attacked Brittany? “. He’s garbage.
Thats pretty bad that they had a 'clerical error' that caused all the evidence to be destroyed. Do I think he did it? Most likely. But thats a big big big mistake by the police/prosecution. Here it looks like justice will eventually be served, but its stupid stuff like that that lets a LOT of guilty people go free, and also destroys the credibility of the justice system as a whole. And watch, Im sure no-one was reprimanded for that insanely idiotic 'mistake'
Tom McKee Justice will be served when he goes before God and has to make an account for everything he did in his life. When you pass and you're judged by God he has no mercy then only Justice
Frank Strange and your face is so ugly you have a big giant F where most people’s picture goes. Never listen or trust a TH-camr who can’t even show their ugly mug.
@FRANCO PEREZ actually another news video says that they didn't want to risk a jury deciding on less time, and were satisfied with the results of 18 years. So they accepted a no-contest plea. In addition to that, he was convicted of battery as a juvenile, and accused of sexual assault, and rape, by three separate people besides this case. And his blood was found on the scene. And she remembered his name. She gave a name before they reconstructed the image from the DNA which looked like him, and then his blood was confirmed on the scene. The evidence is obvious and pretty hard to argue with.
Whitney Pyant ....no...your not understanding....if they said the mom couldn't identify him....that would be reporting on that witness/evidence of the crime....I'm not expecting one answer or the other....just an answer
bel pet What do you mean. They had the most important piece of evidence. His DNA! That is all they needed. Find who matches that, you find the person who committed the crime! They did that! I’m not sure what you Don’t think is adding up?! The ONLY THING THAT does Not make sense is why the person that attacked her is not behind bars for the rest of his life!!! So what if he has a family, he should have thought about THAT before he tried to MURDER HER WITH A SHOVEL!! It is just for the grace of GOD And this girls strong WILL that she Is still with us today! No one knows the extent of the problems she has today, or the pain, and degree of mental anguish she will have to live with for the Rest of her life!! She received a life sentence, he wants to get less than that?!! THAT IS NOT JUSTICE!! I was in a Car accident when I was 18, a Drunk driver ran a red light and hit and almost killed me! I however received a broken neck, 2 broken ribs, a broken jaw, a bruised brain, lacerations to my skull, forehead, and ear, and I was in a coma! The Doctors didn’t even call my family because it was October 17, and I had turned 18 on September 9? How pathetic is that! Even thought I was driving a vehicle that was registered to my Dad and was wrote off! Since I had now been in a coma for 2 days my roommates called my mom and told her I hadn’t been home, or called into work? That was 39 years ago and I still live with chronic pain today. So these people that do these crimes, have no idea how they affect the lives, of those people , they ruin in the process, for years and years after. No amount of punishment could EVER make up for the Choices they made on that Day!!!!! Why should completely INNOCENT PEOPLE, PAY FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES, FOR THEIR IRRATIONAL, ILLEGAL ACTIONS!!!!
@@nanettevalencia4243 huh? He wasn't talking about this video specifically, he meant in general all technologies used these days can be tampered which make them vulnerable, hell's wrong with you?
@@nanettevalencia4243 True, everyone is trying to say this is cover up. So ridiculous. He never would have accepted the deal by the prosecution if he was innocent. Period!
@@TheHeninhardenne hmmm understandable but i think i can burst the bubble a bit. what police force finds a suspect based on nothing but hypnosis recovered memories (that may be false) then plants a single tiny drop of blood on the scene? those are waaay too perfect of circumstances. do i think it's dodgy? hell yea i do i think he is innocent. "clerical errors" are also too perfect in removing evidence that may convict or release a suspect. if anything the staff in charge of holding evidence should go to prison in his place for pure incompetence.
I think the mother is right. I guarantee you he was shaving and cut himself. Then the single drop of blood Forest Gump Feathered itself to Brittani's house. While in the air it solidified due to cold weather and busted the glass upon landing.
Or he could have been stalking her and left that blokd there from another incident. But either way pleading no contest will grant this guy a long time behind bars.
Right!! As a mother myself I would defend my son to my death but there also comes a point where as a mother if you see facts like this that he was a monster and capable of doing this and now has children especially girls I would have to have him locked up so he couldn’t hurt another girl/person. I get wanting to defend and see the best in your child but facts are facts but some people are delusional, it’s sad.
His number was in her phone. They met and exchanged numbers? He liked her but she didn't reciprocate? Why all the tattoos on his body? Is he into torture and pain? Where did the shovel come from? Did he drive over to house? Are we so primitive now we have resorted to cavemanism? If you wont love me I am going to kill you. Then to go on and get married and have 3 daughters of your own. Is this irony or great life karma. A Mother raising 6 children alone no Father or any man in the house. Easy target could he have thought? Any wonder he was crying when saying he didn't want to leave his daughters without him to protect them? The sentence isn't death. The sentence is Life on Earth.
go_johnny_ go_ I once knew someone who said all these cases they know how they're going to turn out. They make a deal before going into court that's why people like Casey Anthony walked even though she killed her daughter.
Omg the mom is pissing me off! You had a long hard look at the suspect he even spoke words to you. Saying “you’re next “ like come on you’re getting upset with the police for not catching the guy when clearly you are the best chance at identifying him. Was it Justin orrrrr what?
mercedes corral eye witness reports aren’t the best way to accuse someone of a crime. Many people have been falsely put in jail for it. There’s a lot of videos on TH-cam about it. They’re very sad, but it’s also very interesting how memories change.
exactly what i was thinking..and the guy jumped out and broke the glass and there you are just one teenie weenie drop of blood like it was drop there on purpose.
I think he did it but I think there was enough reasonable doubt and missing evidence to get acquitted or get the case thrown out. That missing evidence would have killed the case and didnt the mother witness the crime? There is no mention that he fit her description. Why only one drop of blood? Shouldnt there have been DNA on the piece of glass that cut him; skin, blood? Idk, sounds a little weird.
there WAS a drop of blood on the broken glass! it's not like it injured him or anything it just probably gave him a slight cut which a little blood came off of...my God think logically
Great work from the detective on this case! It's so unfortunate that the rest of the DNA was destroyed... but as his defence is only "It wasn't me, I wasn't there" that single drop of blood on the broken glass says it all.
I will never understand why the punishment for attempt of murder is less than murder. So if a perpetrator is incompetent as well as evil they get 5 years but if they are just evil its the death penalty. As far as I'm concerned you're more of a threat to society if you are both evil and incompetent, it should be a second charge. I can't think of a man more deserving of the death penalty than this monster who without provocation wanted to rape and kill a girl with a shovel then the mother, without question this man has killed before and will kill again. If you read Dr. Stones scale of evil this man would rate at number 15 the worst possible rating 'Cold-Blooded Spree' if he wasn't incompetent.
Thank goodness that Brittani loves and enjoys her mother's company so much. that she set up a luncheon date with her that day - unusual for a 17 year old girl - and tells me a lot about her personality. If her mother had not come home when she did - this would have been a very different story. This monster robbed Brittani of her high school graduation with all her friends, her goal to be a reporter. and so many of her youthful years healing and recovering - but do hope the rest of her life is filled with only good things. She has an awesome family and an amazing mother - and that is everything.
This doesn't make sense. The mother saw the attacker. Heard him speak. Did she i.d. him? Something tells me no, or they would have said it. And there should have been and probably was a lot of DNA on the knife and shovel. Why did his mother say it wasn't his? How does she know that if it was destroyed? Was she just protecting him or is there a reason? I'm not saying he's innocent. The blood is serious evidence, but there is A LOT missing from this story.
ruben cantu The only reason there is a lot missing is that victim cannot remember the crime. Mom saw him for a split second, 10 years ago in the midst of a full-on panic thinking her daughter was dead.
She didn't need to ID him. He pled guilty. It was his dna and he had no reason for it being at her house. look at the key points. he refused to give his dna to them. and he said he never was at her house. He can lie to his mom and family but he knows what he did.
DNA matches the crime scene, Victim knew the attacker. A clerical error ‘aka’ Justin or Justins mother knew someone at the police department. Let’s research the connection there.
Two individuals. Two tragedies. One crime. Justin's decision to kill Brittani that day ten years ago has altered the life of dozens of people. Will we ever know the reason?
Blah blah? So, according to you we have vengeance as "death of the perpetrator" (an easy way out) So would that make everything OK in your way of thinking?!?!... Or, 'would another man hitting him on the head with a shovel be an equal crime and count as payback? No! Neither is fitting! Brittani suffered for ten years after getting hit. So I say multiple strikes to the head with a #6 coal shovel by a man twice his size followed by at least twenty years in prison. Not some easy country club, ping-pong, air-conditioned prison either. The "hard work in the hot sun" type of prison with inmates that frown upon women beaters.
Wow do you really think what she looks like makes a difference? Yes she was and is a very pretty girl, would you have cared less if she weren't. A life changed forever I'm so sorry for that family I will be praying for you all.
She gets to live a damaged body and soul for life, as well as all her siblings affected.. and no answer as to why or an apology. He deserves to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison
He was on bathsalts I bet. Really dangerous shit. They're both lucky to be alive. This has got to be the third bathsalt shovel attack I've heard of now.
They need someone to blame to end this story with a happy ending. His blood was there, end of story to them....even tho nothing else weapon wise matched him wat so ever.
My thoughts exactly. I thought the mom would have been able to pick him out of a line up? The mothers sketch doesn't even match the guy being charged with the crime.
When he was asked what he thought happened to her he said, "I think she was beaten and raped." We know she wasn't raped, so could that have been his motive along with murder? I think he had some sick obsession with her, and was following her without her knowledge. If her mother hadn't came home, would that have been his ultimate goal and what he really wanted? Yet had an obsession with hurting her as well (maybe feeling turned down). Anyway, the investigators wondered the motivation for the crime, I think he pretty much told them without him or investigators realizing it.
yep he was stopped by mom walking in. He stalked her to her home...He had been advancing on her and she waas unaware of his intent when she showed no interest. Same old story.
The guy got the worst lawyer in USA. The prosecutor's team destroyed evidence that would have helped exonerate him and his lawyer advised him to plea no contest regardless despite the blunt negligence / corruption.,
*HE'S GUILTY. Wake up. Ur blood doesn't just show up at a crime scene. It doesnt work that way esp when u claim to never even have kept contact w the person/be in the home around the home*
I’m pretty late but some things do not add up! If you break through a glass window and get cut, you’re gonna leave more than one drop of blood. There would have been a trail of blood, and on the piece of glass that cut him.
A lot of legal experts say don’t say or give dna without a lawyer present even if you’re innocent and the prosecution office huge blunder gives him plenty of justification to not trust them enough to take care of the dna test results.
This is very disturbing. Justin appears to be getting framed here..why would his number magically appear in her phone and conveniently one single blood drop is left behind almost like a trail of breadcrumbs...not to mention the mom can't identify the suspect after a face to face encounter?? detectives are so quick to jump on forensic evidence for a conviction that they don't ask the prudent questions. you really should need more than a highschool diploma to become a detective.
This report is a summary only. His blood was found where the attacker smashed a window to escape. Crime reports also state he denied really knowing the victim although several workers at the mall reported him stalking her, watching her at work for up to a hour. His ex girlfriend also reported his violence and crimes and it was reported that he was previously accused of sexual assaults but not pursued.
How convenient that the other evidence were destroyed.If the mother is right about the son's DNA not being found on the weapons then this is a very weird case.And how could someone cut themselves on a glass window and leave only 1 drop of blood with no physical scar on them? This doesn't seem to make sense.
If it was only one drop of blood it may have been a small cut. I have been hit by an suv traveling 65 mph and mauled by a pit bull where i had meat hanging out of my leg and my scars from both events are almost completely unnoticeable. And there was a shit ton of blood loss from both incidents.
No it is not enough considering there was other evidence that did not match his DNA (DNA off shovel and knife). You can't just ignore that whether evidence was destroyed accidently or not, the suspect did not destroy it the state did.
The DNA on the objects that went missing might have been the DNA from those who appropriately used them. Early in my law enforcement career, people living in a crime scene were asked to give their samples so they could be ruled out. The fact they lost the other objects is not surprising. Blood is blood. Can't beat that and explain away HIS blood on the window the suspect crashed through.
Kim Sears even if there were others present it doesn't reduce his guilt. It just means he's getting away with an additional crime of obstructing justice by not implicating the names of any coconspiritors( which would actually make the crime 100% premeditated because their would have been verbal plans discussed hence cognitive premeditation) . The presence of other DNA wouldn't change one single thing about his case other than adding codefendants to the case which if there were others with him they would be just as guilty not make him any the less.
This case (like many) has a lot of holes in it. The rest of the DNA evidence was destroyed from a "clerical error"? Or was it purposely destroyed because it didn't match the suspect who dropped the blood? Also, the mother saw the attacker, why no description? Could a "clerical error" also mismatch blood to someone it doesn't belong to? They better hope this suspect doesn't get an attorney like Jose Baez (Casey Anthony's attorney) or they'll be setting him free.
His demeanor has me confused.....he doesn't appear to be someone who's trying to hide or be uncooperative. I find that extremely frightening. Someone could do something like get a hold of your blood & drop it somewhere & tie you to a crime you would never even think of committing. The holes bother me quite a bit.
please...he refused to provide his DNA sample when questioned...if he really knew he was innocent he would've complied. you people just love to make so many conspiracies
Believe u me,It happens almost every day,Especially if you are always in jail or Prison,it takes alot out of a person..bull pen THEREPY to go back and forth to Court with that Bshit,I,But I have pleaded guilty a few times,was innocent @ the time,But what u do in life,IT comes back 😚.. KARMA IS A BEYOTCH😏😏😏.
Reasons why I think he COULD be innocent: 1. position and shape of blood spatter 2. Tattoos. He had tattoos during the crime but brittani didn't see tattoos on the attacker 3. Diane could not identify Justin's face even though she said she remembers the attacker vividly.
The mother apparently saw someone at the time of the attack and later thought her ex husband might have been a suspect? Her ex looks like he's twice the size of Justin.
Her mom allegedly saw the attacker, did she not? There was a sketch. All of this doesn’t come full circle. There’s a lot of loose ends here, especially as presented in these videos.
Young dude ten years later, mom was in shock, fair bet he's grown up a little, changed appearance and she couldn't ID him. I mean eye witness is unreliable, even when face to face. There's been countless cases where victims couldn't id their attackers or were convinced it was someone else, while DNA said otherwise. Anyways, open and shut case for me. His blood was there, he knew the girl. What else is there to discuss...
if she has bad memory, she could obviously just be describing the person she told you she knew. it's not credible information. lol if it was, she could tell you straight up, my memory is of my friend. xD it looks just like my friend. i'm giving you his eye color and everything for that exact reason lol there's no point using all her friends facial features to generate a face, as if that's extra evidence. xD why can't the mother have described how he looked? why can't they get fingerprints off the shovel? lie detector?
also anyone else would probably deny giving their dna away to some cop and lady coming by. it's possible they could do the whole planting the evidence against you. (they did follow him after all) i sure hope they re-did the test with some of his actual blood, incase tampered evidence. and why would memory loss therapy even be reliable? if he'd have left blood, why not fingerprints? why didn't the mother outside see him at the window?
P Webb a single drop of blood that nobody could know how it got there. surely her friend could've had his fingerprints all over her house, and be capable of innocence. what if she's a very deviant little player, acting like she can't remember anything so she cannot fall into the inconsistency of lies. maybe she abstracted his blood. maybe she and her mom set this thing up. now that's a real conspiracy xD lol
I thought the same thing but if u lol when his hair starts to grow out it curls at the ends so imaging him with long curly hair and it matches perfectly.
Something Ain't Right with this case, The Mother seen the Attacker, Can't she know for sure it's Justin, she came face to face with him. There is more to this case then she is Telling
Justin looks NOTHING like the mother's/eye witness's sketch. She stated the intruder was dark skinned unlike Justin's medium complexion. Which I'm going to conclude didn't recognize Justin. The blood drop is suspicious but still there's plenty of reasonable doubt. Can Justin provide proof of his whereabouts for the day in question? Too much left in question.
Kristi Robare it is a well known scientific fact that eye witness accounts are the Least reliable in crimes.. Look up research on Cognition and Memory on eye witness accounts..
If the mother saw the attacker and this Justin guy doesn't look like the person she saw, then why tf are they trying to convict him? I think this is a case of desperation to blame someone.
These cases are just way to convenient. A drop of blood is all they had to go off of. They haven’t talked in years. That description was made by some computer and could be any number of men. They even had the guy’s hair cut are you really telling me a computer can make that all by itself? Too many factors in my opinion it sucks this guy has to go to jail because they rushed to make a conviction. I believe an innocent man is in jail and the real criminal is still on the loose. He had a wife and kids with absolutely no motive to do this.
Why was his blood at the scene, if he didn't do the crime? The mother she tried to identify the guy, but if you don't have a name to go with the face it just doesn't click. Also, a truamatic situation adds more strain on identifying what was seen. This guy's mother believes he is innocent, so Mom what was your Son's DNA in a droplet of fresh blood found at the scene doing there if he is innocent. And no evidence should be destroyed on any case, till it's reached a conclusion, and even then it should be retained.
Everyone neglects the fact that the shovel had someone else’s fingerprints.. not Justin’s. Just because that evidence got destroyed, it still was documented at one point that he didn’t match that shovel... also if he was cut on the glass and that’s his blood, why was there no other glass with blood? There’s no way there’d be one drop. All that blood does is place him OUTSIDE of the house, not in it.
why the fuck would he be there bleeding at all? it was a used shovel, it's going to have people's fingerprints on it. tons of them. i can't believe people are trying to explain this away.
Exactly! The mothers sketch of her daughters attacker doesn't even match the man convicted if the crime. Don't forget the "destroyed evidence". I'm more confused now because there are so many things not adding up. Even with the "1" drop of blood at the crime scene that was perfect circle?
So he decided to follow her to her mom’s house not knowing if anyone was at home or would come home, with no disguise, picked up a shovel, beat her, threatened the mom, then jumped through a glass window without being seen in broad daylight, got in his car and drove off?
@@mrsx7944 I know that they have that tiny drop of blood but is there any other way that this could be a mistake? No prints on the shovel, he wore no disguise going to and leaving the house, the mother saw him but couldn’t i.d. him, and he ran through a glass window. Amazing that no one saw or heard anything.
yehya geez i just find it strange that the assailant wouldnt notice something like that, that might as well have waited for the cops to arrive rather can escape and leave blood.
invisiblesurge44 planted by whom and exactly how? How would someone just happen to get a sample of your or my blood to manage to sneak to a crime scene and plant it there?
1. Had the mother not seen the assailant and should she not be able to recognize the guy? 2. Why on earth do they destroy evidences in an open case? It makes no sense!
She is survived but it's like everything about her has been taken away from her when you look at her earlier photos. She can't even smile. That's worse than killing.
The crime happened 10 years earlier! Sure his public image may have changed a bit.. and having kids could make people look innocent in a way too. Just In my opinion.
Why are people so mad about her mom? She saw the attacker, yes, dressed in a hoodie. Plus she was more focused on her daughter than the man. It never even states that she knew who he was. Why would she know about some random guy Brittany made small talk with at work? Why didn't she i.d. him? BECAUSE SHE DIDNT KNOW IT WAS HIM! Stop trying to blame a victim.
I was thinking the same thing. The sketch that the mom describe of her daughters attacker doesn't even match the person that was arrested? I'm glad they had DNA to bring her attacker to justice. I am still questioning why they destroyed the evidence that was found on the shovel and knife 🤔
When I woke up from my coma, no one told me what happened for awhile. I assumed I was in an accident, too. It’s pretty wild not remembering anything, but it’s a blessing, too.
The guys mom said,"that her sons dna didn't match the weapons used". Then the news said,"with more testing the mom felt her son could of been exonerated,but the evidence was destroyed." That means they did a dna test on it and the son was not a match. If so then did they test everyone in the house hold at that time to exclude there dna? Just a question? Thats huge to destroy that kind of evidence. If it was the mom or daughters or family member on the weapons that makes sense. But if it wasn't and it wasn't the guy's dna that needs explaining. I hate to say it. But it sounded like the cops didn't like the dna didn't match the guy so they just got rid of it so they could close this case.
@@Keish03 that actually what I was thinking. I dont like to speculate, but his blood was there, he could of been in the other room thats why he went out the window not the door(maybe when things got bad he freaked and went out the window while a seconded person was doing the murder). Just an idea. That would explain his Dna not on the weapon and his blood outside. And why he went out the window and not the door.

I THOUGHT THE MOTHER
SAW THE ATTACK.AND THE
MAN WHO DID IT..
WHY WAS THERE NO
CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT.
IM TOTALLY LOST ON THAT..
ROBO RAGE she did and she chose him as her second choice in a lineup....
She may have seen his face, but she didn’t know him, and it was a high stress situation that lasted seconds before she ran out of the house. So making a definitive ID is still difficult.
But he even spoke to her and made eye contact ! He said you are next!
Cidalia Martins I was in an extremely stressed state after a crime and it had the opposite effect on me. I recalled every detail about my assailants for 3 weeks.
Saffron Muse not the same for everyone, I panicked and my mind jumbled up the man who touched my chest outside a grocery store on my way to school. As soon as I stepped into my high school building I told the school safety officers (who wear the nypd uniform), and they immediately called in other officers and took me on a van to do the canvas with them. There were guys outside that were with him but I suddenly couldn’t remember which one it had been. I said I wasn’t sure, because I didn’t want to get the wrong person in trouble (ALTHOUGH they had been right there when it happened and I heard some of them laugh). So yeah, not everyone will remember every detail, some WILL forget. This was all in less than 30 minutes
Keep seeing comments about “one drop of blood does not make him guilty!!”, like we’ve all had our blood end up at a murder scene at some point.
yeah that certianly is incriminating however the other evidence was destroyed. The fact that there is a single drop of blood is sus. Like no other dna of his was there besides a drop of blood which easily could have been placed. And its weird how the mom saw the man but couldnt distinguish him. The mom sounds sus as hell.
@@OmegaLoL7 You're right that it's not an abundance of evidence, but think of the confluence of coincidences it would have taken to get his blood there. The picture in the video showed that the blood was still bright red, meaning it was not only dropped recently but also drawn recently.
If the theory is that the real attacker placed the blood there, we're talking an attacker that had a sealed vial of Justin's freshly drawn blood, was caught in the act, then filled a medicine dropper and dripped exactly one drop of blood on the ground as he was escaping.
The theory that the police placed it there doesn't fit, since there was no initial DNA match for the blood, meaning Justin wasn't a past offender and the police wouldn't have had a vial of his blood on file. That only leaves the possibility of an officer or investigator who knew Justin personally, had a vendetta against him, had access to the crime scene, drew blood from Justin recently without him noticing, then placed it at the scene without an honest cop noticing. Impossible, no, but pretty damn improbable.
also everyone DNA is different, none is the same.
@@OmegaLoL7 please explain how his blood could have gotten there. If it was planted, who took it from him?
@@EM-ve9bhexactly
But the Mother saw the attacker... did she not? And a clerical error with the destroying of evidence.. really?

Dude comments like yours make us men look bad. Learn how to respect women or don't comment at all because comments like yours are why women judge us men that don't think like that s if we do and its bullshit
yeah this seems like american sensationalism to me, it isnt explained if she was able to describe him. But apparently she described him as " Caucasian or Hispanic, approximately 20-30 years old, 5'7" tall, clean shaven, with brown hair"
All i know is this his blood is at the scene and you don't admit guilt if your not guilty.He is a lying sack of shit and you can tell.As far as witness identification they are not accurate most of the time.
the perp drawing from DNA is b.s.
recovered memories are unreliable - her recovered memories are also so vague
and she names some guy that she vaguely remembers but doesn't say that it is him
the guy had a douche bag lawyer that told him to plead no contest
I don't believe that they would have gotten a conviction... seems very questionable to me
Something don't add up about this story
Ya I know every evidence destroyed except for that drop of blood sounds very fishy
Peter Chae agreed.. how does something like that happen? Especially if the MAIN title is "girl attacked with shovel".. you'd think a weapon like that is bound to have evidence all over it thus carefully handled. I don't know :/
When u break a window and run the blood drop is a drop pattern cause of the motion of u are moving in looks like its been put there when I was first saw the video I was like I hope they get that bastard but the more I watch some things didnt add up
My gut tells me he didn't do it. The mother described the suspect she saw was either a dark Caucasian or a Hispanic man. He doesn't fit either discription
@@saraha8113 exactly something fishy
All the evidence destroyed? That sounds fishy as hell
gogetta80 not really. Don’t u see at work and at college how imperfect, inept, careless, and all the errors people can make.
It happens a lot more then you think it’s incredibly sad
G why would he give her his number if he were going to hurt her or kill her?
G the entire situation is fishy. brittani doesn't know why his number is in her phone. he wouldn't put it in there if he were going to hurt her. i went into detail on it if you check the most recent comments
I think there was more than one person involved...
So he was willing to ruin her life...practically kill her...destroy her family...and literally just go in with his life. He had a wife and 3 kids...and was living his life while pretending to be mentally sane &good person...ugh!!!
WOW!
The wife and children came later, this was 5 years after the attack and as he said "none of them are old enough to be in school yet" meaning they were all under 5 years old. Cold blooded killer tried to murder a teenager for denying his advances and then went on to live a relatively normal life..scary stuff. Makes you wonder how many 'normal' people have killed in their life and gotten away with it.
Unfortunately this sounds like too many people in today’s world including one or two people I know personally. It’s called being a sociopath, some of which are very likely psychopathic.
Thimble Fox ...
I thought the same thing... how many other people have done this?
James Robinson ...
I agree!
Adeili Maya I totally agreed! What disgusts me are that him using a baby as if he is such a great father; and a mother couldn’t explain why her son’s one drop of blood ended up at the victim’s house?!

It Hansen is innocent why did he refuse DNA testing.
afraid that he would be framed? i can put place your DNA at a crime scene too.
July 25, 2018, Justin Hansen was sentenced to 18 years in prison, followed by 2 years of probation. I can't stand when there is so much evidence, like DNA, witnesses statements, the victim giving a freaking name, and he/she STILL refuses to step up and take responsibility for his/her actions. Justin did apologize to Brittani for "what she went through", but still maintains that he is 100% innocent. Not only did he not own up, but his lawyer had the nerve to ask for a suspended sentence and to say, "Will putting Justin in jail do any good? It’s not going to bring back her eyesight or her appearance; it’s not going to make her trust the world again, but it will change the life of his children forever." Seriously?!? He should've thought about that before attacking a 17 year old with a shovel... She could've died and her life is changed for forever now. No, it won't bring back her eyesight, or change what happened that day, but she DESERVES justice. I couldn't believe the lawyer even said something so stupid. Does that mean we should let murderers off if they have kids? Because, putting the murderer in jail won't bring back the victim or change anything either?! Obviously, if you break the law, especially when it's a violent crime (like almost beating a teenage girl to death with a shovel), then YES, the offender SHOULD go to jail, kids or no kids. Absolutely one of the most ridiculous arguments I've ever heard a lawyer make. Glad Brittani FINALLY got some justice and can start putting this behind her. At least for the next 18 years, if he even serves his whole sentence. I would be terrified of the day he gets out.
Meredith Pase 1000000% agree! it makes me so sick I can’t even explain it
👍 I'm glad he got what he deserved. What his lawyer said about the injuries he inflicted on her as if they nothing was absolutely disgusting and cruel.
Very well said! I guess his lawyer had to say something to show his client he’s trying his best, even if it means grasping at straws.
I totally agree. I saw footage of him crying about missing his little daughter, I wanted to ask him “ can you imagine how horrible it would be if someone attacked one of your children like you attacked Brittany? “. He’s garbage.
So by his lawyer’s logic, what’s the point in putting murderers in jail. It won’t bring back the victim!
Up to 50 years? There was a man who threw a bucket of acid onto his wife and she later died and he got 11?
Katherine Noman
What does that have to do with this?
It's attempted murder, what do you want a slap on the wrist
Life is so unfair. Different states have different punishments for different crimes.
he needs to serve at least 30 for this crime! if they give him 50 or more I wouldn't be mad at that either.
50 years is good fym. you should be complaining about the other case not how its different
Thats pretty bad that they had a 'clerical error' that caused all the evidence to be destroyed. Do I think he did it? Most likely. But thats a big big big mistake by the police/prosecution. Here it looks like justice will eventually be served, but its stupid stuff like that that lets a LOT of guilty people go free, and also destroys the credibility of the justice system as a whole. And watch, Im sure no-one was reprimanded for that insanely idiotic 'mistake'
Tom McKee Justice will be served when he goes before God and has to make an account for everything he did in his life. When you pass and you're judged by God he has no mercy then only Justice

No way this man is innocent the drop of blood was on pieces of glass that were broken during his escape!
ctfu lmaoo
@FRANCO PEREZ actually it proves that they had a good chance of convicting him, ir they would've pled not guilty
@FRANCO PEREZ actually another news video says that they didn't want to risk a jury deciding on less time, and were satisfied with the results of 18 years. So they accepted a no-contest plea.
In addition to that, he was convicted of battery as a juvenile, and accused of sexual assault, and rape, by three separate people besides this case.
And his blood was found on the scene. And she remembered his name.
She gave a name before they reconstructed the image from the DNA which looked like him, and then his blood was confirmed on the scene.
The evidence is obvious and pretty hard to argue with.
Lola Bee lmfao really? Because cops and lawyers don't lie? Because people in power are totally honest? Lmfao omfg
Does the mother identify him or not...I can't believe that wasn't stated...she was face to face with him...what do you mean blood is the only evidence
Mikyla Smith she was in a state of shock which is very understandable.
Whitney Pyant ....no...your not understanding....if they said the mom couldn't identify him....that would be reporting on that witness/evidence of the crime....I'm not expecting one answer or the other....just an answer
thank god .. I would have sentenced him to 50
Mikyla Smith
He was most likely wearing a mask
It said the mother picked him second in a lineup
Things just aren't adding up here.
bel pet What do you mean. They had the most important piece of evidence. His DNA! That is all they needed. Find who matches that, you find the person who committed the crime! They did that!
I’m not sure what you Don’t think is adding up?! The ONLY THING THAT does Not make sense is why the person that attacked her is not behind bars for the rest of his life!!!
So what if he has a family, he should have thought about THAT before he tried to MURDER HER WITH A SHOVEL!!
It is just for the grace of GOD And this girls strong WILL that she Is still with us today!
No one knows the extent of the problems she has today, or the pain, and degree of mental anguish she will have to live with for the Rest of her life!! She received a life sentence, he wants to get less than that?!!
THAT IS NOT JUSTICE!!
I was in a Car accident when I was 18, a Drunk driver ran a red light and hit and almost killed me!
I however received a broken neck, 2 broken ribs, a broken jaw, a bruised brain, lacerations to my skull, forehead, and ear, and I was in a coma! The Doctors didn’t even call my family because it was October 17, and I had turned 18 on September 9? How pathetic is that! Even thought I was driving a vehicle that was registered to my Dad and was wrote off! Since I had now been in a coma for 2 days my roommates called my mom and told her I hadn’t been home, or called into work?
That was 39 years ago and I still live with chronic pain today.
So these people that do these crimes, have no idea how they affect the lives, of those people , they ruin in the process, for years and years after.
No amount of punishment could EVER make up for the Choices they made on that Day!!!!!

I think the mother is right. I guarantee you he was shaving and cut himself. Then the single drop of blood Forest Gump Feathered itself to Brittani's house. While in the air it solidified due to cold weather and busted the glass upon landing.
Or he could have been stalking her and left that blokd there from another incident. But either way pleading no contest will grant this guy a long time behind bars.
Right!! As a mother myself I would defend my son to my death but there also comes a point where as a mother if you see facts like this that he was a monster and capable of doing this and now has children especially girls I would have to have him locked up so he couldn’t hurt another girl/person. I get wanting to defend and see the best in your child but facts are facts but some people are delusional, it’s sad.
His number was in her phone.

He liked her but she didn't reciprocate?

Omg the mom is pissing me off! You had a long hard look at the suspect he even spoke words to you. Saying “you’re next “ like come on you’re getting upset with the police for not catching the guy when clearly you are the best chance at identifying him. Was it Justin orrrrr what?
mercedes corral eye witness reports aren’t the best way to accuse someone of a crime. Many people have been falsely put in jail for it. There’s a lot of videos on TH-cam about it. They’re very sad, but it’s also very interesting how memories change.
quicksiliva if she was shocked and can’t remember every detail. How can she remember “you’re next?” She knows
Ask a police officer which is more reliable...an eyewitness orrrrrr DNA. Let’s see what they say. You’re annoyed with the wrong mother.
Mercedes..... I just came down here to state that very same thing!!! Excellent point
exactly what i was thinking..and the guy jumped out and broke the glass and there you are just one teenie weenie drop of blood like it was drop there on purpose.
I think he did it but I think there was enough reasonable doubt and missing evidence to get acquitted or get the case thrown out. That missing evidence would have killed the case and didnt the mother witness the crime? There is no mention that he fit her description. Why only one drop of blood? Shouldnt there have been DNA on the piece of glass that cut him; skin, blood? Idk, sounds a little weird.
I think theblood was planted
he refused DNA test and how come he never went to visit her after he found out she was attacked case closed
there WAS a drop of blood on the broken glass! it's not like it injured him or anything it just probably gave him a slight cut which a little blood came off of...my God think logically
Great work from the detective on this case! It's so unfortunate that the rest of the DNA was destroyed... but as his defence is only "It wasn't me, I wasn't there" that single drop of blood on the broken glass says it all.
I will never understand why the punishment for attempt of murder is less than murder. So if a perpetrator is incompetent as well as evil they get 5 years but if they are just evil its the death penalty. As far as I'm concerned you're more of a threat to society if you are both evil and incompetent, it should be a second charge. I can't think of a man more deserving of the death penalty than this monster who without provocation wanted to rape and kill a girl with a shovel then the mother, without question this man has killed before and will kill again. If you read Dr. Stones scale of evil this man would rate at number 15 the worst possible rating 'Cold-Blooded Spree' if he wasn't incompetent.
Thank goodness that Brittani loves and enjoys her mother's company so much. that she set up a luncheon date with her that day - unusual for a 17 year old girl - and tells me a lot about her personality. If her mother had not come home when she did - this would have been a very different story.
This monster robbed Brittani of her high school graduation with all her friends, her goal to be a reporter. and so many of her youthful years healing and recovering - but do hope the rest of her life is filled with only good things. She has an awesome family and an amazing mother - and that is everything.
This doesn't make sense. The mother saw the attacker. Heard him speak. Did she i.d. him? Something tells me no, or they would have said it. And there should have been and probably was a lot of DNA on the knife and shovel. Why did his mother say it wasn't his? How does she know that if it was destroyed? Was she just protecting him or is there a reason? I'm not saying he's innocent. The blood is serious evidence, but there is A LOT missing from this story.
ruben cantu
The only reason there is a lot missing is that victim cannot remember the crime. Mom saw him for a split second, 10 years ago in the midst of a full-on panic thinking her daughter was dead.
She didn't need to ID him. He pled guilty. It was his dna and he had no reason for it being at her house. look at the key points. he refused to give his dna to them. and he said he never was at her house. He can lie to his mom and family but he knows what he did.

I'm distracted with that AMAZING DNA testing! Wow!!!
I know, right!!!
Inspiring trio, mother, daughter and the detective 🕵️♀️. 💝
Two individuals. Two tragedies. One crime. Justin's decision to kill Brittani that day ten years ago has altered the life of dozens of people. Will we ever know the reason?
Blah blah? So, according to you we have vengeance as "death of the perpetrator" (an easy way out) So would that make everything OK in your way of thinking?!?!... Or, 'would another man hitting him on the head with a shovel be an equal crime and count as payback? No! Neither is fitting! Brittani suffered for ten years after getting hit. So I say multiple strikes to the head with a #6 coal shovel by a man twice his size followed by at least twenty years in prison. Not some easy country club, ping-pong, air-conditioned prison either. The "hard work in the hot sun" type of prison with inmates that frown upon women beaters.
Follow The Sun The fucktard was upset that she didn't want to date him.

She gets to live a damaged body and soul for life, as well as all her siblings affected.. and no answer as to why or an apology. He deserves to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison
He was on bathsalts I bet. Really dangerous shit. They're both lucky to be alive. This has got to be the third bathsalt shovel attack I've heard of now.
Kat lol
18 years for beating a woman with a shovel it should have been life in prison without parole..
If the mother saw the attacker then why wasn’t she called in to identify Justin to confirm it was him??
They need someone to blame to end this story with a happy ending. His blood was there, end of story to them....even tho nothing else weapon wise matched him wat so ever.
My thoughts exactly. I thought the mom would have been able to pick him out of a line up? The mothers sketch doesn't even match the guy being charged with the crime.
He loves his kids to death but would kill someone else's child? I'm glad he's serving 18 years in prison.
I wish it were more. I'm just happy he'll be someone's gf in prison. Enjoy you animal!
This woman detective is bad ass!
Btw... those brows are enough to make a match..
No. She's not. She's blood thirsty.
When he was asked what he thought happened to her he said, "I think she was beaten and raped." We know she wasn't raped, so could that have been his motive along with murder? I think he had some sick obsession with her, and was following her without her knowledge. If her mother hadn't came home, would that have been his ultimate goal and what he really wanted? Yet had an obsession with hurting her as well (maybe feeling turned down). Anyway, the investigators wondered the motivation for the crime, I think he pretty much told them without him or investigators realizing it.
yep he was stopped by mom walking in. He stalked her to her home...He had been advancing on her and she waas unaware of his intent when she showed no interest. Same old story.
Absolutely, the same old story
Bless her heart ❤️ I hope you get everything you deserve BRITTANY!! PRAY FOR YOU

I’m pretty late but some things do not add up! If you break through a glass window and get cut, you’re gonna leave more than one drop of blood. There would have been a trail of blood, and on the piece of glass that cut him.
if he wasn't guilty he should have given up his DNA from the beginning.
@FRANCO PEREZ costs less money to take a plea deal opposed to trial which can pan out for years before a verdict is reached that's why

How does ALL the evidence get “destroyed”
This is very disturbing. Justin appears to be getting framed here..why would his number magically appear in her phone and conveniently one single blood drop is left behind almost like a trail of breadcrumbs...not to mention the mom can't identify the suspect after a face to face encounter?? detectives are so quick to jump on forensic evidence for a conviction that they don't ask the prudent questions. you really should need more than a highschool diploma to become a detective.
You obviously don’t know how quick details can be misinterpreted or forgotten when you are a victim or a witness to something so brutal.
This report is a summary only. His blood was found where the attacker smashed a window to escape. Crime reports also state he denied really knowing the victim although several workers at the mall reported him stalking her, watching her at work for up to a hour. His ex girlfriend also reported his violence and crimes and it was reported that he was previously accused of sexual assaults but not pursued.
How convenient that the other evidence were destroyed.If the mother is right about the son's DNA not being found on the weapons then this is a very weird case.And how could someone cut themselves on a glass window and leave only 1 drop of blood with no physical scar on them? This doesn't seem to make sense.
If it was only one drop of blood it may have been a small cut. I have been hit by an suv traveling 65 mph and mauled by a pit bull where i had meat hanging out of my leg and my scars from both events are almost completely unnoticeable. And there was a shit ton of blood loss from both incidents.
Prince Mononoke remind me to stand away from you in a thunderstorm. ;)
@@genli5603 🤣🤣🤣
Bloody nosnose
No it is not enough considering there was other evidence that did not match his DNA (DNA off shovel and knife). You can't just ignore that whether evidence was destroyed accidently or not, the suspect did not destroy it the state did.
The DNA on the objects that went missing might have been the DNA from those who appropriately used them. Early in my law enforcement career, people living in a crime scene were asked to give their samples so they could be ruled out. The fact they lost the other objects is not surprising. Blood is blood. Can't beat that and explain away HIS blood on the window the suspect crashed through.
Kim Sears
You still cannot explain away his blood at the crime scene.
Kim Sears even if there were others present it doesn't reduce his guilt. It just means he's getting away with an additional crime of obstructing justice by not implicating the names of any coconspiritors( which would actually make the crime 100% premeditated because their would have been verbal plans discussed hence cognitive premeditation) . The presence of other DNA wouldn't change one single thing about his case other than adding codefendants to the case which if there were others with him they would be just as guilty not make him any the less.
He deserves 50 years, he’s guilty, he didn’t react when the police called at his home, too calm. Definitely over acting being innocent.
This case (like many) has a lot of holes in it. The rest of the DNA evidence was destroyed from a "clerical error"? Or was it purposely destroyed because it didn't match the suspect who dropped the blood? Also, the mother saw the attacker, why no description? Could a "clerical error" also mismatch blood to someone it doesn't belong to? They better hope this suspect doesn't get an attorney like Jose Baez (Casey Anthony's attorney) or they'll be setting him free.
good point.
His demeanor has me confused.....he doesn't appear to be someone who's trying to hide or be uncooperative. I find that extremely frightening. Someone could do something like get a hold of your blood & drop it somewhere & tie you to a crime you would never even think of committing. The holes bother me quite a bit.
please...he refused to provide his DNA sample when questioned...if he really knew he was innocent he would've complied. you people just love to make so many conspiracies
@@fbforlife2014 I wouldn't give my dna either

Believe u me,It happens almost every day,Especially if you are always in jail or Prison,it takes alot out of a person..bull pen THEREPY to go back and forth to Court with that Bshit,I,But I have pleaded guilty a few times,was innocent @ the time,But what u do in life,IT comes back 😚.. KARMA IS A BEYOTCH😏😏😏.
Happens all the time - constantly.

Which means he did it, he knows he did it, and with his blood drop at the scene he wasn't getting away with it.
So sad this guy got such a light sentence.
Reasons why I think he COULD be innocent:
1. position and shape of blood spatter
2. Tattoos. He had tattoos during the crime but brittani didn't see tattoos on the attacker
3. Diane could not identify Justin's face even though she said she remembers the attacker vividly.
deeny harn ...maybe he was wearing a longsleeved shirt ? Maybe the mother was concentrating on her daughter rather than the asshole ?
yet she remembers the attackers face vividly?
its an old case.. his looks have most likely changed somehwat
@@Scorch428 Of course, people usually change after 10 years
@@nanettevalencia4243 Ya, im just saying, thats why she could not identify his face even tho she remembers it vividly
The mother apparently saw someone at the time of the attack and later thought her ex husband might have been a suspect? Her ex looks like he's twice the size of Justin.
"Was stalking her even if no one knew it"
Umm yeah that's what stalking is 😂
“No contest” is equivalent to guilty in all respects except the defendant’s mind.
I do not think he did this for various reasons. Sorry just my intuition.
Marie Smith agreed
A beautiful family. Everyone of them. What a wonderful miracle for Bri.
Her mom allegedly saw the attacker, did she not? There was a sketch. All of this doesn’t come full circle. There’s a lot of loose ends here, especially as presented in these videos.
Young dude ten years later, mom was in shock, fair bet he's grown up a little, changed appearance and she couldn't ID him. I mean eye witness is unreliable, even when face to face. There's been countless cases where victims couldn't id their attackers or were convinced it was someone else, while DNA said otherwise. Anyways, open and shut case for me. His blood was there, he knew the girl. What else is there to discuss...
If he wasn’t guilty he would have went to trial
I'm confused
are we all just going to ignore the fact that there was a SINGLE perfectly circular droplet of blood?
It sounds like you’re ignoring it. How did it get there? You people have no answer to that.
if she has bad memory, she could obviously just be describing the person she told you she knew. it's not credible information. lol if it was, she could tell you straight up, my memory is of my friend. xD it looks just like my friend. i'm giving you his eye color and everything for that exact reason lol there's no point using all her friends facial features to generate a face, as if that's extra evidence. xD why can't the mother have described how he looked? why can't they get fingerprints off the shovel? lie detector?
also anyone else would probably deny giving their dna away to some cop and lady coming by. it's possible they could do the whole planting the evidence against you. (they did follow him after all) i sure hope they re-did the test with some of his actual blood, incase tampered evidence. and why would memory loss therapy even be reliable? if he'd have left blood, why not fingerprints? why didn't the mother outside see him at the window?
DLC ENERGY
They have his blood at the scene. And a conspiracy here makes no sense.
P Webb a single drop of blood that nobody could know how it got there. surely her friend could've had his fingerprints all over her house, and be capable of innocence. what if she's a very deviant little player, acting like she can't remember anything so she cannot fall into the inconsistency of lies. maybe she abstracted his blood. maybe she and her mom set this thing up. now that's a real conspiracy xD lol
DLC ENERGY
Wow. Congratulations! You just won the award for stupidest internet!
This doesn’t add up THE MOM LITERALLY SAW THE ATTACKER AND SHE COULDN’T IDENTIFY HIM AND ALL THE EVIDENCE WAS DESTROYED UMMMM WHAT!??
The sketch the mother had drawn by the forensic artist looks nothing like him.
I thought the same thing but if u lol when his hair starts to grow out it curls at the ends so imaging him with long curly hair and it matches perfectly.
She is still beautiful, it is very sad that someone could do this to such an innocent person
She seems vindictive to me. Like she wants to get ANYONE for this.
Something Ain't Right with this case, The Mother seen the Attacker, Can't she know for sure it's Justin, she came face to face with him. There is more to this case then she is Telling
when your son's blood is found at the scene of an attempted homicide...that is when...your son...is guilty baby.
Justin looks NOTHING like the mother's/eye witness's sketch. She stated the intruder was dark skinned unlike Justin's medium complexion. Which I'm going to conclude didn't recognize Justin. The blood drop is suspicious but still there's plenty of reasonable doubt. Can Justin provide proof of his whereabouts for the day in question? Too much left in question.
Kristi Robare it is a well known scientific fact that eye witness accounts are the Least reliable in crimes.. Look up research on Cognition and Memory on eye witness accounts..
She never stated that he was dark skinned. She said that he was either "dark Caucasian or light Hispanic" So, that would be medium complexion.
He was caught 5+ years later not the next day. Who knows how much tanning he was doing around the time of the attack.
If the mother saw the attacker and this Justin guy doesn't look like the person she saw, then why tf are they trying to convict him? I think this is a case of desperation to blame someone.
DNA
These cases are just way to convenient. A drop of blood is all they had to go off of. They haven’t talked in years. That description was made by some computer and could be any number of men. They even had the guy’s hair cut are you really telling me a computer can make that all by itself? Too many factors in my opinion it sucks this guy has to go to jail because they rushed to make a conviction. I believe an innocent man is in jail and the real criminal is still on the loose. He had a wife and kids with absolutely no motive to do this.
Why was his blood at the scene, if he didn't do the crime? The mother she tried to identify the guy, but if you don't have a name to go with the face it just doesn't click. Also, a truamatic situation adds more strain on identifying what was seen. This guy's mother believes he is innocent, so Mom what was your Son's DNA in a droplet of fresh blood found at the scene doing there if he is innocent. And no evidence should be destroyed on any case, till it's reached a conclusion, and even then it should be retained.
Everyone neglects the fact that the shovel had someone else’s fingerprints.. not Justin’s. Just because that evidence got destroyed, it still was documented at one point that he didn’t match that shovel... also if he was cut on the glass and that’s his blood, why was there no other glass with blood? There’s no way there’d be one drop. All that blood does is place him OUTSIDE of the house, not in it.
why the fuck would he be there bleeding at all? it was a used shovel, it's going to have people's fingerprints on it. tons of them. i can't believe people are trying to explain this away.
He did it the blood says it all
Why can’t the mother ID him? She came face to face with the attacker??!!!!! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Exactly! The mothers sketch of her daughters attacker doesn't even match the man convicted if the crime. Don't forget the "destroyed evidence". I'm more confused now because there are so many things not adding up. Even with the "1" drop of blood at the crime scene that was perfect circle?
Hm his wife & kids?Stalking her when he already had a girl ?
ANGELA D!AZ Keep in mind this is 10 years after the fact. He moved on with his life.
ANGELA D!AZ right?!
So he decided to follow her to her mom’s house not knowing if anyone was at home or would come home, with no disguise, picked up a shovel, beat her, threatened the mom, then jumped through a glass window without being seen in broad daylight, got in his car and drove off?
Exactly. It sounds way too unrealistic. He's innocent.
@@mrsx7944 I know that they have that tiny drop of blood but is there any other way that this could be a mistake? No prints on the shovel, he wore no disguise going to and leaving the house, the mother saw him but couldn’t i.d. him, and he ran through a glass window. Amazing that no one saw or heard anything.
Im i the only thinking the bloood could have been planted?
invisiblesurge44 thats very possible but unlikely
yehya geez i just find it strange that the assailant wouldnt notice something like that, that might as well have waited for the cops to arrive rather can escape and leave blood.
invisiblesurge44 planted by whom and exactly how? How would someone just happen to get a sample of your or my blood to manage to sneak to a crime scene and plant it there?
Gypsy Girl
Right. And Why?
invisiblesurge44
Yep. You're the only one. Planted why? Why randomly frame a person you don't know?
1. Had the mother not seen the assailant and should she not be able to recognize the guy? 2. Why on earth do they destroy evidences in an open case? It makes no sense!
Why doesn’t he take a lie detector test???
Wow, a clerical error having almost all evidence destroyed. How irresponsible!
He’s guilty.
She is survived but it's like everything about her has been taken away from her when you look at her earlier photos. She can't even smile. That's worse than killing.
There is definitely some reasonable doubt
"Evidence destroyed due to clerical error."
I wonder if the suspect can actually counter-sue for that and use it for his case?
I don't think he did it just get that feeling it wasn't him
Then why all the lies?
Yeah, someone else cut themselves while they busted through that window, but when they bled, they bled HIS blood, not their own!! smdh
@@mindyk4 Exactly! Big conspiracy ooooh!
The crime happened 10 years earlier! Sure his public image may have changed a bit.. and having kids could make people look innocent in a way too. Just In my opinion.
Why are people so mad about her mom? She saw the attacker, yes, dressed in a hoodie. Plus she was more focused on her daughter than the man. It never even states that she knew who he was. Why would she know about some random guy Brittany made small talk with at work? Why didn't she i.d. him? BECAUSE SHE DIDNT KNOW IT WAS HIM! Stop trying to blame a victim.
They should take a lie detector test
He did it, he just didn't do it alone! He's protecting someone close to him.
Thought mom seen face
I was thinking the same thing. The sketch that the mom describe of her daughters attacker doesn't even match the person that was arrested? I'm glad they had DNA to bring her attacker to justice. I am still questioning why they destroyed the evidence that was found on the shovel and knife 🤔
When I woke up from my coma, no one told me what happened for awhile.
I assumed I was in an accident, too. It’s pretty wild not remembering anything, but it’s a blessing, too.
The guys mom said,"that her sons dna didn't match the weapons used". Then the news said,"with more testing the mom felt her son could of been exonerated,but the evidence was destroyed." That means they did a dna test on it and the son was not a match. If so then did they test everyone in the house hold at that time to exclude there dna? Just a question? Thats huge to destroy that kind of evidence. If it was the mom or daughters or family member on the weapons that makes sense. But if it wasn't and it wasn't the guy's dna that needs explaining. I hate to say it. But it sounded like the cops didn't like the dna didn't match the guy so they just got rid of it so they could close this case.
@@Keish03 that actually what I was thinking. I dont like to speculate, but his blood was there, he could of been in the other room thats why he went out the window not the door(maybe when things got bad he freaked and went out the window while a seconded person was doing the murder). Just an idea. That would explain his Dna not on the weapon and his blood outside. And why he went out the window and not the door.
Maybe he wore gloves!!!
