Mitchell lost his whole family. God. Absolutely horrific. I can’t even imagine how much this affects those who love Krista and Bart. My heart is with them all.
Not just yet more trials to come, this case is far from over. Did you not see the girlfriend scurrying out double-masked. There. was no reason for her to be there you'd think. sheer want to be as far away as possible from this creep.go figure
@@antivenomadams6369 There is something so lowdown and despicable at his contacting his mother to bring him more soda when he KNEW that as soon as she got home (with the soda) he was going to kill her. I can't think of anything to call him except monster!
Yet another reason why artificial intelligence needs to decide cases. A computer would not get emotionally entangled like humans. A torso is all that it would need. Next evidence! In the Cauvin case they asked the young black girls how they "felt" about what they witnessed. How the F does that matter and why bridle the jury with those emotions. We have so many antiquated processes.
I loved Prosecutor Brown! He made the opening case intriguing and cringe-worthy from the beginning. Judge Hyland was also exemplary and praise worthy in the way he conducted court and how respectably he treated the jury.
Exactly and the defense seems to think he played with the heart strings of the jurors but as far as I'm concerned the proscicution has a duty to draw a clear and precise picture of what the facts are and sometimes the jurors may feel sad or disgusted or angry and have those emotions but in the end they make a decision based on the evidence not how they FEEL. So the defense final statements were not great and were quite loaded and quite frankly unprofessional and bordering on rude.
And even after all the torment, grieving, betrayal, etc. that Chandler has inflicted on the remaining members of his, and Cat's family, I'd still be willing to bet that if Bart and Krista were able to speak on their sons behalf, they'd still want mercy for their son. It seemed like (from EVERY person who described them) that they were truly "salt of the earth" people. Genuinely good. And they were quite literally ripped from this world just as they'd begun to enjoy their later years, or look forward to retirement, and spend time just relaxing, and watching their children begin their own lives. Unfortunately, they had no idea as to what monster lurked within their own son. The things he did to them both in murdering, and post mortem are simply unspeakable. They wouldn't have cared if he admitted that he didn't have the eduvation, job, future etc. that he lied about. I'd bet they'd have stuck by him, and worked it out. But his ego, and warped personality wouldn't let it go. My heart breaks for Mitch, Barts brother, Cat, her Mom & Cress, and the best friends of Krista and Bart that all have to suffer this senseless loss.
I was just thinking abt that... but I think the life insurance policy was just too tempting for him. He has no remorse. No feelings whatso ever how odd.
There are people who are raised in horrific homes with unbelievable abuse and don't kill their parents. Then there's Chandler, who had everything handed to him...
Thank you all, Channel 3000 staff and moderators. You all are so real, authentic, and dedicated. You offer much appreciated relief from the plastic, narcissistic, and despicable standards on national, and most cable channel news.

This whole case is tragic and cruel. He had good parents. His mother by all accounts was the most loving, doting and caring as they come. A prime example of loving unconditionally and I truly believe even if she knew or found out all of his lies she would have still stood by him, protected and loved him. It’s what mothers do. They didn’t deserve this. I can only hope it wasn’t painful and the last moments weren’t filled with fear, pain and asking why! RIP Halderson’s.
While Cat gets away with being the mastermind behind the operation. Chaz was too stupid to carry it out alone. Cathryn was obviously the brains in that relationship.
so much circumstantial and physical evidence linking him to this crime. How he thought he would never be found out - is beyond me. Human bone in the fire place? Blood stains everywhere (and he explained it that his parents had massive nose bleeds all the time-come on- we are not idiots).

I've been watching from the UK and my son and his girlfriend have also become engrossed in this trial - largely due to your excellent channel. Thank you again.
Yeah it’s pretty amazing how much they let him tromp all over them and barely question anything. They were clearly amazingly patient and it’s hard to imagine how cruel, selfish, and evil this man is.
I feel so very sad for Krista and Bart's family members, but particularly Mitchell. His mother and father died at the hands of his only brother. I can't even begin to imagine what that feels like. Thanks to the Jury Members. No one knows what case they might be called for in advance, but this one held particularly horrific evidence. Thank you all for the service you did.
Never have I ever heard such an abominal case. I think the most nagging part is the fact that his parents were loving and caring. Yes the gruesome facts are very very disturbing; but he did this to very caring loving parents, who sounded to be wonderful people. Few trials have left me so unsettled as this. Well done to the Prosecution and jurors. May Bart and Krista finally rest in peace.
Congratulations to each and every official who worked so hard on this case to make sure to put this man away for hopefully the rest of his life. I send prayers to his family and his ex girlfriend and her family that they can find peace in their lives. God bless them all.
I would have loved Chandler if he just confronted his parents with his lies and owned up to it. He though is a spoiled brat who was never told no who was never given a consequence. Krista never hit her children or shouted at them including Bart too. Unbelievable!
@@mas5867 Indeed Anger is a human emotion. If you do not get mad something is wrong. But Krista never even punished her kids and that is what was said in the trial. However, do not take your madness and kill people because of it, which is what Chandler might have done.
I think he never thought that he would be found guilty. He thought he could gaslight everyone like he was able to do his family for so long. The only reason he was able to that is that his parents loved him. Loved him like no other ever has or will. The jurors don't have that live therefore could not be gaslit. Nor could the police or prosecutors side.
True love would have real issues with a 23 year old being comfortable telling people he builds pillow forts, plays with legos and calls his dogs "girls." They helped nurture this monster.
@@mas5867 lots of pet owners call their dogs "girls". That's not uncommon. Expecting the dogs to witness their owners being cut up and burned in the fireplace, now 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁❜𝘀 narcissistic.
Those prosecutors were amazing. I truly loved hearing their questions and arguments. They always asked every question I was thinking when they were questioning someone. Great job those two. Two of the best I’ve ever seen.
Sometimes the American Justice system gets it perfect. A spectacular judge, the meticulous and compelling prosecution, a defense that knew they were beat and the best they could do was to not prolong the inevitable and a jury that faced a difficult trial, having to see and hear things like that no human wants, and during a pandemic, and they still carried out their duty professionally and quickly.
@@bluelife1503 I feel so much for the girlfriend. A mother dumber than dirt that apparently didn't instill any abilities in her to be able effectively read Chandler. She should seek counseling. Prob has the maturity of a 15 yr old.
Literally nothing. His eyes didn’t even flicker at the photos of his dismembered parents or the sound recording of his dads voice literally nothing. That’s truly chilling
I can’t wrap my head around the defense attorney stating, in closing, “he is only guilty of a false police report”. Doesn’t that mean he knew they weren’t alive…proving he killed them?
I don't fault the defense for doing their job. People don't like the devil's advocate, but in this case, they were given the devil himself to defend. It was an impossible task. I can't even think of a possible alternate narrative for them to present. In the end, they argued the absurd and incoherent, because it's all they had to work with.
Well, Chandler Halderson spent YEARS ensuring that he avoided getting a job. Now, he got EXACTLY what he was after. He'll never ever worry about being on the unemployment line again.
@@Nosferata138 I agree. I'm also curious if Chandler will eventually try to appeal on the grounds of ineffective counsel. I don't think it'd work, as I can't imagine how to really defend this heinous crime
The Halderson spent 23 years giving Chandler a good life, this is how he repays them. Too bad Wisconsin doest have death penalty this case deserves it more than most. Prayers for the Halderson family and friends for strength. My deepest condolences for your loss.
@@bluelife1503 Nah, he’s too big of a coward to take his life but doesn’t mind taking others. He’s worthless lied to everyone in his life, not honest to a single person. They should bring back hard labor camps. All this because he was too lazy to get a real job.
@@sharonpodorski4687 You are right. It was the $ and also the fact that the father had uncovered Chandler's lies about going to school, work and not having a job at Space X. He wanted Chandler to meet with school officials at 3 pm the day of the murders. One insane thing led to another. Chandler was a monster AND an idiot. He tried to frame his girlfriend and her parents.
Best presentation by Prosecutors, brilliant work by law enforcement, and brave testimonials by all. RIP Mr and Mrs Halderson. Peace for the family, friends, neighbours, co-workers. I Cannot even imagine their shock and horror at the unbelievable murders, of ones own parents who clearly loved their son. Thank you to the jurors.
I think he’ll do ok. The family has a lot of close friends plus his fiancé and her family I’m sure. He seems like an emotionally stable young man. I hope so.
This Judge sets a fine example for all to follow. Such a tragic case. Thankful the Monster will never be free to hurt anyone else. He's done enough damage! ChazzleDazzle.. Bye
And at sentencing the judge says... ""I have to (...) ensure that the only time Mr Halderson comes back into the community is to have the privilege of a burial he denied his parents" My respect to the judge.
Thank you to all investigators, the sheriff’s office, Chanel 3 3000, to the prosecutors and the judge all being professionals. Come on Wisconsin this guy should never have had any bail. This was a horrific crime Bart & Krista did not deserve this. Prayers to family and friends my heart goes out to you. Good bye Chandler what a waste.
I feel for the remaining family. I can’t imagine finding out the grandchild that I love has killed butchered, burned and threw away my child. And the poor girlfriend, her Mom and Moms friend, lives are changed forever. Also their beautiful, peaceful property will also be marred by this selfish, worthless piece of sh__?
Prayers for his Parents, Brother, and the Families of Krista, and Bart. 💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 RIP. he has No Heart, and No Soul. Excellent work by Prosecutor Brown!
No Remorse,No Response!No way he was getting away! Unbelievable to do this to his own parents and lied for so long!Justice have been served and his brother will get that million by himself!
Naturally It’s worse and more complicated than that. No one does anything like this without being a straight up sociopath, or more likely a psychopath.
The way he addressed them in texts was unfeeling and lacked warmth. Meanwhile Krista ended texts with “love you lots” and smile. He never said that he loved them once in all of the information presented. He never asked for anything kindly; he demanded it…such as Krista picking up sofa. Not holding children accountable and not having boundaries for them sets up very nice people for raising entitled, self-absorbed kids.
I liked the way Channel 3000 have reported on this trial. I tend to follow trials through Law and Crime channel, but they can be so melodramatic and titles can be so insulting.
The thing that gets me...is that this dude could have literally just said "Okay, mom, dad...you got me. I'm not going to work at SpaceX... I've just been playing Mortal Kombat. Caught me red handed." ...and they would've yelled at him and gave him some money for an Armani interview suit and some Gucci hard bottoms for good measure. But he killed them for what... Because he was embarrassed?? Just dumb 🙄
RIP Bart and Krista... Prayers for everyone involved in this case from the PD, ME, State Crime Lab, Expert Witnesses, Neighbors and to all the families impacted by this senseless crime. No one should ever have to endure what happened. Now, Chandler will have a life long time to get his degree, have free food and place to sleep as well as no bills or major decisions we have to make in an average life time. For Mitchell, so sorry you no longer have your mom and dad. You have everything now and nothing in the end that really matters. You no longer have your brother due to decisions he made. I pray you take the family home and dedicate it to an organization to keep others safe and spend time at the camp remembering good memories. Just lead your life Mitchell with you head high. For Cat, this will be a hard memory to deal with in your future. Consider your life fortunate and you are alive. Just think that you don't have to turn around one day and say, "Who the HeLL did I marry?"; watch for the red flags and we have to do in our lives. Live your life Cat and feel blessed for life.
This was one of the best Prosecution I have ever witnessed, from opening statements, to delivery of evidence and credible witnesses, right down to closing and rebuttal arguments, I see exactly why it took the jury 2hrs for a verdict. There was so much overwhelming evidence of guilt. RIP Bart and Krista, you didn't deserve this😔😔🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm going to watch the interview of Chandler and police one more time. He literally showed No Emotion....No remorse during this interview. He REALLY thought he was going to LIE his way out of this!! The way he sat there.....but what I Really want to re-watch is the moment when the officer says "Listen....Listen.....this is your chance to start telling THE TRUTH!!!"
I wouldn’t be surprised if he applies for an appeal for ineffective assistance of counsel… he did it period… it’s just mind blowing that someone would murder their parents because they found out he wasn’t attending school 🤷♀️ this kid is done.
My heart hurts for Mitchell but I hope this verdict brings him something. I send him love and light through this darkness he’s going through. RIP Bart and Krista.
I really enjoyed watching the trial on this channel. I found the commentary helpful. Also, I found that the defence attorneys had no connection with the defendant. Usually they speak, look at each other etc but there was nothing.
A couple of times the black-haired defence counsel spoke to him during sidebars, I guess just explaining the procedure or the reasons for it. But you're right, it was very rare.
Completely AGREE with the verdict!! Great trial coverage! I would like to give a standing ovation to JUDGE JOHN D. HYLAND! Hands down the BEST judge I have EVER seen run a courtroom!! Thank you for showing everyone respect, for speaking clearly and creating a calm environment. I’m so impressed & hope his peers set their goals to reflect Judge Hyland! May the Halderson’s loved ones receive the privacy they need at this time ~ ❤️🙏🏻
This defense was laughable and completely unprofessional. Cursing in the closing statement, texting while the judge reads the verdict, accusing the jury of researching the case and lying about it? Wonder if they’ve ever won a case in their entire career…
And his parents would still have loved him. Shame on kids who don’t understand that your parents only want you to succeed and have a happy life. RIP Krista and Bart.
I belief that too. It seems as though they would have dealt with it if he had just told the truth to them: They would probably be very angry but it wiiid have ended better than this
This is just horrific, how in God’s good name can someone be so unbelievably brutal, sadistic and just plain evil towards anyone ESPECIALLY your parents, the people that brought you into this world, raised you, tried to do the best for you!!!! This just is absolutely horrifying and sick!!!!! May those beautiful people rest in God’s loving embrace always!!!!! May the brother of this monster find peace
@Donna Mauriello .Why did "God" not protect those beautiful people from such a horrific end tragic end of life ? Someone let me know if you want to know the answer to that question and I'll post it.
Wow, Chandler never NOT once lower his head during the trial, no apparent emotion , always seated straight… no remorse. Very scary. RIP Bart & Krista 😔🕊🙏🏾
Life without parole, I can see why, oh if any lawyers want to help with my appeal call me. Not one word of remorse or apology for his actions. May he rot in jail forever.
Kudos to Channel 3000 for their extensive coverage of this trial, their honest real time coverage of this trial and James' daily recaps of what happened in each broadcast. You did a great job and should cover more trials.
Prayers for the brother. I hope he had a supportive girlfriend and friends around him. May God bless him and may he find healing as he goes forward with his life.
@@kokettabrown986 - I'm thinking more that *@Amazing Supergirl* meant that _there is no "gawd"_ - "it" *doesn't exist,* and never has. It was imagined by fearful men during the Bronze Age to explain natural phenomena, like bad weather, floods, drought, crop failure, infant/child deaths, disease, etc - long before science had developed (evolved) enough to rationally explain them. It was also a way of *controlling people's behaviour,* by *instilling fear* in them of an all-powerful, supernatural entity/sky-daddy/authoritarian that was loving-yet-punishing.

1 outta 2 ain't bad 😔
I feel so very sad for Krista and Bart's family members, but particularly Mitchell. His mother and father died at the hands of his only brother. I can't even begin to imagine what that feels like.
Thanks to the Jury Members. No one knows what case they might be called for in advance, but this one held particularly horrific evidence. Thank you all for the service you did.
Never have I ever heard such an abominal case. I think the most nagging part is the fact that his parents were loving and caring. Yes the gruesome facts are very very disturbing; but he did this to very caring loving parents, who sounded to be wonderful people. Few trials have left me so unsettled as this. Well done to the Prosecution and jurors. May Bart and Krista finally rest in peace.
Absolutely!!!!!! This gave me chills every single day, hearing what this monster did!!! Horrifying
Imagine how bad life will be for Mitchell , no parents , no brother , empty house , no texts or phonecards again , so sad
Will the cops now say what Chandler told them after he asked for an attorney
@@bryandano Heart wrenching future for Mitchell. And to know his sibling did this must me so haunting. So sad for him 😞
Evil parents always have a good image in monsters behind closed doors
Congratulations to each and every official who worked so hard on this case to make sure to put this man away for hopefully the rest of his life. I send prayers to his family and his ex girlfriend and her family that they can find peace in their lives. God bless them all.
This judge has been wonderful. The evidence in this case was over whelming. No surprise about the verdict.
He did a very good job
Except that poor juror who got his last name read 😂
Just unbelievable that someone can do this after living a life of lies. The verdict was correct.
I would have loved Chandler if he just confronted his parents with his lies and owned up to it. He though is a spoiled brat who was never told no who was never given a consequence. Krista never hit her children or shouted at them including Bart too. Unbelievable!
@@ramla5928 I don't trust people that never get mad. Ticking timebombs.
@@mas5867 Indeed Anger is a human emotion. If you do not get mad something is wrong. But Krista never even punished her kids and that is what was said in the trial. However, do not take your madness and kill people because of it, which is what Chandler might have done.
@@ramla5928 he is simply a madman
Unbeliveable, that he was even able to do that to his parents... sick!
I think he never thought that he would be found guilty. He thought he could gaslight everyone like he was able to do his family for so long. The only reason he was able to that is that his parents loved him. Loved him like no other ever has or will. The jurors don't have that live therefore could not be gaslit. Nor could the police or prosecutors side.
True love would have real issues with a 23 year old being comfortable telling people he builds pillow forts, plays with legos and calls his dogs "girls." They helped nurture this monster.
@@mas5867 lots of pet owners call their dogs "girls". That's not uncommon. Expecting the dogs to witness their owners being cut up and burned in the fireplace, now 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁❜𝘀 narcissistic.
Very respectable judge!!!!!
Those prosecutors were amazing. I truly loved hearing their questions and arguments. They always asked every question I was thinking when they were questioning someone. Great job those two. Two of the best I’ve ever seen.
Sometimes the American Justice system gets it perfect. A spectacular judge, the meticulous and compelling prosecution, a defense that knew they were beat and the best they could do was to not prolong the inevitable and a jury that faced a difficult trial, having to see and hear things like that no human wants, and during a pandemic, and they still carried out their duty professionally and quickly.
No emotion shown, sociopathic behavior! Cold dead eyes!
What emotion should u show ? Ur getting life in prison . He’s just mad and Atleast his gf didn’t switch up on him…. She didn’t rat
@@bluelife1503 I feel so much for the girlfriend. A mother dumber than dirt that apparently didn't instill any abilities in her to be able effectively read Chandler. She should seek counseling. Prob has the maturity of a 15 yr old.
Literally nothing. His eyes didn’t even flicker at the photos of his dismembered parents or the sound recording of his dads voice literally nothing. That’s truly chilling
@@bluelife1503 Yhea she was a co-conspirator.
@@mas5867 Dear Cathryn was in on it.
I can’t wrap my head around the defense attorney stating, in closing, “he is only guilty of a false police report”. Doesn’t that mean he knew they weren’t alive…proving he killed them?
It was the most bazaar, non-defense I have ever seen presented in a trial. He should have pled guilty at the start.
Exactly
Defense was rather incoherent to say the least.
I don't fault the defense for doing their job. People don't like the devil's advocate, but in this case, they were given the devil himself to defend. It was an impossible task. I can't even think of a possible alternate narrative for them to present. In the end, they argued the absurd and incoherent, because it's all they had to work with.
It was CAT the evil girlfriend that was the mastermind behind this operation
Well, Chandler Halderson spent YEARS ensuring that he avoided getting a job. Now, he got EXACTLY what he was after. He'll never ever worry about being on the unemployment line again.
Well Chandler, Mom & Dad can't help you with this one...
Adios little fella. May God have Mercy on your soul. God bless all those broken by your selfish evil deeds.
Fascinating to follow this whole trial. Heavy heart for the family, but the right decision reached, I believe.
I was waiting for the defense presentation.....that was weird.
But he obviously didn't really have a defense. They didn't even try.
@@Nosferata138 I agree. I'm also curious if Chandler will eventually try to appeal on the grounds of ineffective counsel. I don't think it'd work, as I can't imagine how to really defend this heinous crime
The Halderson spent 23 years giving Chandler a good life, this is how he repays them. Too bad Wisconsin doest have death penalty this case deserves it more than most.
Prayers for the Halderson family and friends for strength. My deepest condolences for your loss.
I’m sure he’ll commit suicide
A life behind bars is a fate worse than death, nothing to look forward to anyway.
@@bluelife1503 Nah, he’s too big of a coward to take his life but doesn’t mind taking others. He’s worthless lied to everyone in his life, not honest to a single person. They should bring back hard labor camps. All this because he was too lazy to get a real job.
@@troyjt2252 he’ll make up stories for his cell mates. He’s probably has one invented right now. He likes to live in an alternate reality.
@@troyjt2252 Good I hope he’s plays the murders over and over until it eats at his brain.
Absolutely insane. Just shows some people need no real motive to do the most horrific things.
Million dollar policy
@@sharonpodorski4687 You are right. It was the $ and also the fact that the father had uncovered Chandler's lies about going to school, work and not having a job at Space X. He wanted Chandler to meet with school officials at 3 pm the day of the murders. One insane thing led to another. Chandler was a monster AND an idiot. He tried to frame his girlfriend and her parents.
Spoilt bratt
This case is so gruesome and the reasons for the murders so pathetic that I will never forget this.
The best judge I've ever seen for respecting all parties and not acting like they are god.
I feel so bad for Mitchell… hopefully he and his wife can go forward and prosper.
Defense did what they could, which was nearly nothing. Dude was powerfully guilty.
2 hours the jury deliberated...Thank all of them for speaking for Krista and Bart 💓💓
Best presentation by Prosecutors, brilliant work by law enforcement, and brave testimonials by all. RIP Mr and Mrs Halderson. Peace for the family, friends, neighbours, co-workers. I Cannot even imagine their shock and horror at the unbelievable murders, of ones own parents who clearly loved their son. Thank you to the jurors.
May Krista and Bart RIP, may Mitchell be left to live is life without intrusion.
What do you mean by intrusion? I felt Mitchell was rather uncaring and critical of his mothers concern for him. Is that what you meant?
I think he’ll do ok. The family has a lot of close friends plus his fiancé and her family I’m sure. He seems like an emotionally stable young man. I hope so.
This Judge sets a fine example for all to follow. Such a tragic case. Thankful the Monster will never be free to hurt anyone else. He's done enough damage! ChazzleDazzle.. Bye
I don’t understand why he pleaded not guilty. Strangest case.
He’s a pathological lier.
He had nothing to lose either way. He was hoping at least 1 or 2 dummies might get on the jury. Haha it failed for him 🤣
Lie to the end.
I wonder if he did it to give people closure, so they felt there was justice. Often when criminals plead guilty there is no answers or no process.
And at sentencing the judge says... ""I have to (...) ensure that the only time Mr Halderson comes back into the community is to have the privilege of a burial he denied his parents"
My respect to the judge.
The more I learn about this case, the more it breaks my heart. Makes me wanna go over to my parents and give them the biggest hug 😢
I would love for the judge to do the reading for audiobooks!!
Oh yes! I totally agree!!
You can't blame the defense team...they had Nothing to work with and if they tried it would have just make people more irritated.
I just love Judge Hyland. He's a reflection of true class.
Thank you to all investigators, the sheriff’s office, Chanel 3 3000, to the prosecutors and the judge all being professionals. Come on Wisconsin this guy should never have had any bail. This was a horrific crime Bart & Krista did not deserve this. Prayers to family and friends my heart goes out to you. Good bye Chandler what a waste.
I feel for the remaining family. I can’t imagine finding out the grandchild that I love has killed butchered, burned and threw away my child. And the poor girlfriend, her Mom and Moms friend, lives are changed forever. Also their beautiful, peaceful property will also be marred by this selfish, worthless piece of sh__?
excellent coverage of this you did channel 3000, kudos!
The judge in Chandler handler was great nice to everyone
Wow I can't believe his Lawyer is texting as the verdict is being read.
Maybe she was keeping people informed of the verdict?
@@12verac I feel she should be more attentive to the verdict being read and text later. Doesn't she owe it to her client and the jury, Judge?
@@danaadams8209 the only people paying attention to her in that room is the camera.
Prayers for his Parents, Brother, and the Families of Krista, and Bart. 💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 RIP. he has No Heart, and No Soul. Excellent work by Prosecutor Brown!
No Remorse,No Response!No way he was getting away! Unbelievable to do this to his own parents and lied for so long!Justice have been served and his brother will get that million by himself!
Sad, no matter how you see this situation.
🕊RIP, Bart and Krista🕊
Monster
What is so important that his lawyer is on her laptop instead of listening to the judge?
The ones presuming that wasn't case-related are letting everyone know the extent of their secondary education.
Guilty as sin.....and for what? He is a selfish son, with a wicked heart. How they raised such a cold and selfish human being is beyond me.
Naturally It’s worse and more complicated than that. No one does anything like this without being a straight up sociopath, or more likely a psychopath.
The way he addressed them in texts was unfeeling and lacked warmth. Meanwhile Krista ended texts with “love you lots” and smile. He never said that he loved them once in all of the information presented. He never asked for anything kindly; he demanded it…such as Krista picking up sofa.
Not holding children accountable and not having boundaries for them sets up very nice people for raising entitled, self-absorbed kids.
I can’t wait to hear Dr Grande’s take on this case!
@@KellyCeleste on point!
@@marianneodell7637 Me too!
The parents must have had their hands full trying to get him to do anything. It’s such a sad situation.
I liked the way Channel 3000 have reported on this trial. I tend to follow trials through Law and Crime channel, but they can be so melodramatic and titles can be so insulting.
The thing that gets me...is that this dude could have literally just said "Okay, mom, dad...you got me. I'm not going to work at SpaceX... I've just been playing Mortal Kombat. Caught me red handed." ...and they would've yelled at him and gave him some money for an Armani interview suit and some Gucci hard bottoms for good measure. But he killed them for what... Because he was embarrassed?? Just dumb 🙄
RIP Bart and Krista... Prayers for everyone involved in this case from the PD, ME, State Crime Lab, Expert Witnesses, Neighbors and to all the families impacted by this senseless crime. No one should ever have to endure what happened. Now, Chandler will have a life long time to get his degree, have free food and place to sleep as well as no bills or major decisions we have to make in an average life time. For Mitchell, so sorry you no longer have your mom and dad. You have everything now and nothing in the end that really matters. You no longer have your brother due to decisions he made. I pray you take the family home and dedicate it to an organization to keep others safe and spend time at the camp remembering good memories. Just lead your life Mitchell with you head high. For Cat, this will be a hard memory to deal with in your future. Consider your life fortunate and you are alive. Just think that you don't have to turn around one day and say, "Who the HeLL did I marry?"; watch for the red flags and we have to do in our lives. Live your life Cat and feel blessed for life.
This was one of the best Prosecution I have ever witnessed, from opening statements, to delivery of evidence and credible witnesses, right down to closing and rebuttal arguments, I see exactly why it took the jury 2hrs for a verdict. There was so much overwhelming evidence of guilt. RIP Bart and Krista, you didn't deserve this😔😔🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm going to watch the interview of Chandler and police one more time. He literally showed No Emotion....No remorse during this interview. He REALLY thought he was going to LIE his way out of this!! The way he sat there.....but what I Really want to re-watch is the moment when the officer says "Listen....Listen.....this is your chance to start telling THE TRUTH!!!"
I wouldn’t be surprised if he applies for an appeal for ineffective assistance of counsel… he did it period… it’s just mind blowing that someone would murder their parents because they found out he wasn’t attending school 🤷♀️ this kid is done.
People who do horrific deeds like this are not redeemable. They should NOT be allowed to waste tax payers money.
AGREED!!!
@jukes243 From juli 2021on, every day he's living from tax money. What's your option? Or others, who 'like' his comment, any Idea what.....?
Would you rather free him so citizens don't have to pay for his life?
What's an alternative?
@@mahimaparmar304 a noose and a long drop is an alternative in a situation like this
@@fleur8100 Yes, death penalty. That's exactly what the OP is saying.
This case is so sad...Those poor parents did not deserve to die the way that they did. All because their son couldn't admit to his web of lies .
My heart hurts for Mitchell but I hope this verdict brings him something. I send him love and light through this darkness he’s going through. RIP Bart and Krista.
Not a flicker of emotion shown . Such a seriously deranged wicked individual.
I really enjoyed watching the trial on this channel. I found the commentary helpful. Also, I found that the defence attorneys had no connection with the defendant. Usually they speak, look at each other etc but there was nothing.
A couple of times the black-haired defence counsel spoke to him during sidebars, I guess just explaining the procedure or the reasons for it. But you're right, it was very rare.
So much respect to the judge and prosecutors. Justice is served.
True justice would be the cemetery.
@@kennyc388 No, true justice would be chopped up in the fireplace or spread around the county to decompose. But no decent person would agree to that.
Completely AGREE with the verdict!! Great trial coverage! I would like to give a standing ovation to JUDGE JOHN D. HYLAND! Hands down the BEST judge I have EVER seen run a courtroom!! Thank you for showing everyone respect, for speaking clearly and creating a calm environment. I’m so impressed & hope his peers set their goals to reflect Judge Hyland! May the Halderson’s loved ones receive the privacy they need at this time ~ ❤️🙏🏻
Dude really thought he could get away with it. Enjoy the rest of ur life in prison.
This may sound crazy but this judge stayed ready for his great t.v debut😂😂😂
This defense was laughable and completely unprofessional. Cursing in the closing statement, texting while the judge reads the verdict, accusing the jury of researching the case and lying about it? Wonder if they’ve ever won a case in their entire career…
She absolutely made a nonsense closing made the defendant even worse lying along with the defendant. Shameful
Really? I must have missed it.
They sure had busy fingers. I was really surprised.
I didn’t notice either - cussing and texting. What did she say?
And his parents would still have loved him. Shame on kids who don’t understand that your parents only want you to succeed and have a happy life. RIP Krista and Bart.
I belief that too. It seems as though they would have dealt with it if he had just told the truth to them: They would probably be very angry but it wiiid have ended better than this
Nice to hear a judge with such wonderful diction.
Prosecutor gentleman spoke and questioned extremely exceptional!!!!
Thankful for this verdict. The defendant cannot hurt anyone else. The judge was outstanding.
Mad respect to attorney Mr. Brown
I feel for his brother. He lost his entire family.
Well a million dollars will help console him in sure
@@jasonRkrause material things are replaceable, people are not. No matter the amount of money one may acquire it will never be enough
Kat...if you watch anything at all on this trial... Listen to what the prosecutor has to say during sentencing... powerful common sense... 🙏
This is just horrific, how in God’s good name can someone be so unbelievably brutal, sadistic and just plain evil towards anyone ESPECIALLY your parents, the people that brought you into this world, raised you, tried to do the best for you!!!! This just is absolutely horrifying and sick!!!!! May those beautiful people rest in God’s loving embrace always!!!!! May the brother of this monster find peace
@Donna Mauriello .Why did "God" not protect those beautiful people from such a horrific end tragic end of life ? Someone let me know if you want to know the answer to that question and I'll post it.
Wow, Chandler never NOT once lower his head during the trial, no apparent emotion , always seated straight… no remorse. Very scary.
RIP Bart & Krista 😔🕊🙏🏾
Good job judge, jury, officers, detectives and prosecution!!!! Well done !
Let me guess....Guilty...
I hope extended family will be there for Mitchell. I can’t imagine!
he is weird too. Did you see him on the stand. The mouth movements irritated to no end. Seems void of emotions.
I think Mitchell was probably still on medication to cope with the situation, but I'm sure Uncle Brett will be there for his nephew.
Great comments Ismeal #1. Well, Siad.
Life without parole, I can see why, oh if any lawyers want to help with my appeal call me. Not one word of remorse or apology for his actions. May he rot in jail forever.
Kudos to Channel 3000 for their extensive coverage of this trial, their honest real time coverage of this trial and James' daily recaps of what happened in each broadcast. You did a great job and should cover more trials.
Prayers for the brother. I hope he had a supportive girlfriend and friends around him. May God bless him and may he find healing as he goes forward with his life.
Right. God has not been good to him so it’s too late. That ship has sailed.
@@amazingsupergirl7125 I would say his brother was the one that wasn't good to him. To face losing his whole family he needs some prayers!
@@kokettabrown986 - I'm thinking more that *@Amazing Supergirl* meant that _there is no "gawd"_ - "it" *doesn't exist,* and never has. It was imagined by fearful men during the Bronze Age to explain natural phenomena, like bad weather, floods, drought, crop failure, infant/child deaths, disease, etc - long before science had developed (evolved) enough
to rationally explain them. It was also a way of *controlling people's behaviour,* by *instilling fear* in them of an all-powerful, supernatural entity/sky-daddy/authoritarian that was loving-yet-punishing.
This is so heartbreaking, so sad for the family and friends.
