What a wholesome bunch of people that were affected by this guy. They just seemed like a well rounded all American family . They were loved by so many people. All the neighbors and friends all seem so caring
Im glad others like him I think he's wonderful Its nice in this case to have a decent person ruling Hopefully this little weasel will realize his parents were truly good people that were hurt by his lies But i dont think he cares about any 1 by himself Great comment
Read on another comment, from a person who went through school with this Judge … she stated, that he was always “ kind hearted”. A man of good substance…….
I just finished watching the Grant Amato trial on this channel and the Sandra Bullock looking judge was stone cold. The look on her face was the ice queen. This is such a change of pace in judges. If you haven’t watched that trial, check it out. He’s another grown son living at home who killed his parents and one of his brothers. 🥺
The Hilgendorf family seems like such a nice family. Both daughters are nurses. Also, Hannah kept talking about Krista in present tense as if she’s still alive. 😢😢😢😢😢
Poor Jane Hilgendorf, her emotions are high since Christa was her best best friend and she loved her. I was amazed she didn’t breakdown crying during her testimony as she looked close to tears when she took the witness stand. She did indeed know much about the Haldersons as her husband stated. So sorry for this sweet family to experience this loss.
Poor Hanna, she seems so nervous and distressed. I can't imagine having to sit there on the stand discussing the murder of your parents' best friends who you've known since you were a baby
I ADORE these twin girls and for me, Hanna’s earnest sincerity combined with her nervous energy made her one of the most credible witnesses I’ve seen in a long time. Great job girls!!! You did right by Bart & Krista❤️
@JennyB I couldn't agree more. Here declaration when she finally breaks through about whether they had gone to the casino is heartrending and passionate. It seals the deal for me that chandler did everything he is accused of.
Their the sweetest! Hailey was so very direct & seeing her start to cry when she talks about being there for the boys as she knows her mom would want/hope the same if God forbid they were in that situation. Hanna is so nervous but speaks so highly of her aunt & uncle 🥺she knew everything was off immediately she probably reacts quicker to things versus Hailey thinking things through! Just sweet young ladies & absolutely did right by Bart & Krista ❤️ everyone had nothing but beautiful things to say about them,yet they were taken out of this world so brutal by their own son 🥺🙏🏼🕊I will NEVER understand how a child could kill their parents especially ones who cared so deeply & were good to them!
How the defense allowed Hannah Hilgendorf to go on and on during a few of the questions was fabulous for the prosecution. Hannah in her anxiety killed the defendant. "No way would they go to a casino". "No way would they miss work and not contact people". She single handedly pointed out glaring issues with the defendant. Jury will remember her testimony.
His Goose is cooked but his lawyers behavior borderlines on malpractice. At one point she even says things like 'well you can probably convict him on some things" and there's countless areas where she should be objecting but doesn't. This is a tough case to defend against, but she should put up a different defense and not allowed certain things. many lawyers have really knocked her for her behavior

He fried himself with his messy interview. He hadn’t slept much because he was trying to come up with a solid alibi, which proved to all catch up to him due to his mental illness. He got caught in a web of lies, point blank.
Bless Hannah Hilgendorf’s heart. I imagine I would testify in some combination of the first sister, Hailey, and the mom and dad. Stoic, clear, attentive to details and clearly showing how much they cared for Bart and Krista. But I’d probably testify like Hannah - bouncing through all the emotions, memories with the deceased popping up, and realizing I hugged and tried to help their murderer.
Well said!! She was super sweet and definitely mortified by what she was experiencing 😓 Heartbreaking when you think about this kid you grew up with and loved like a cousin!
Bless her heart she seems like such a sweetheart. The whole family does. All of their friends who’ve testified and spoke so highly of them truly speaks to their character and what great people I imagine they were. So sad they’re gone I hope Mitchell has a good support system he’s gonna need it!
I LOVE that Judge... He was soooooo- Compassionate... Professional... RESPECTFUL.. Responsible... Caring... Empathetic... Sympathetic...and ABSOLUTELY GENUINE... ONE IN A MILLION Should be his name.. 🙏💯💕⚘
You don’t really know him, tho. He might be all of those things or might just be putting on a show for the cameras. I’d say the odds are he’s somewhere in the middle, like most of us.
Watching Jane breaks my heart…best friend of 39 years…going to be hard to adjust to life. Who to call when you get good news. Who to call when you need a friend….makes me sick this monster took these amazing people from all those who loved them for selfish reasons.
I honestly can't imagine me and my best friend met in middle school also. We literally talk at least 3 times a week. I basically tell her everything and at this point we are basically family. It's only been 13 years but almost 40 I'd probably be so depressed if something happened to her.
Hannah has so much replaying through her mind and she picked up on so many things that day. She is literally reliving it while on the stand. The attorney should have checked in on her, but she didn't. Hannah seems like she wants to make sure she doesn't leave ANY detail out which obviously is understandable. Another thing that may be hard for others to understand, when you are a highly intuitive person, it's hard to put that into words without sounding nuts.
I think most ppl understand intuition is a real thing. Unfortunately though their are some who look down on it cause it more associated with femininity and women. It just means a gut feeling and I'll always listen to mine has yet to steer me wrong.
Hannah vibed the tragedy in the house. Very intuitive of her. Nicely done Hannah. I liked the "duh your parents are missing". She has a cute personality.
Hannah’s intuitive … she felt the wrong doings as she approached the house, was confirmed when she hugged Chandler when her intuition became stronger ….. her testimony solid.
@@stepheneurosailor1623 that’s what confuses me, how could Cat be around him while all this evilness going on and be fine with it like everything’s just normal. Meanwhile everyone else is picking up on the bad vibes immediately!
@@bendyloco .referring to his gf? she knew something was up IMO and was playing both sides, would've stayed with him had he got away with it The only conclusion I can draw. she was involved Her police interview would make interesting viewing I wonder why they haven't?
@@stepheneurosailor1623 I would LOVE to see the interrogation video of Chandlers GF! But maybe there was a deal made. She was on the stand for a long time so it wouldn’t surprise me if the prosecution wanted to make her pay at least with being uncomfortable on the stand for an extended period of time. It almost seemed gratuitous when I watched the court videos of her.
This family is soooo honest it must be gut wrenching to have to testify here!!! Just amazing! As hard as it was… Bart and Krista would be soooo proud of all four of you!!! Blessings
Been catching up on this trial. Listening to the different testimonials makes me realize how necessary having good friends is. Just made me realize I need to make more family friends. Burt and Krista seemed like such amazing people. They were loved.
makes me sad i don't think i have people around who would notice if i went missing. I wonder when people would start to worry i don't think it would be for months..
Oh, poor Jane... Good grief. She and Krista were obviously like sisters. I simply cannot fathom the pain these people are experiencing. The fallout of the murderer's actions has been extensive.
This whole trial makes me want to grow my friend group so much. Makes me want to form a real community for my children. These people seem to have been doing all the right things, things I thought were long gone by now in America.
Omg Me too :( I love in Jersey and I feel like everyone is out for themselves, like it's very hard to find new genuine friends as an adult, meanwhile all my childhood friends have moved on and doing their own thing, even though i would kill for a sleepover 😔 (... well not kill for one, poor choice of words)
Omg I love Hannah ... she's straight up REAL ! After seeing her mom on the Stand it's clear she's just like her momma and her twin sister is like her daddy :)
After watching this I see a lot of internal pain this has caused a lot of their life long friends and you can tell that they were more like an extended family.... He apparently got caught up in his lies to his parents about school and jobs and was too immature to own up to his mistakes. His lies got too big to handle. Red Flags everywhere.He didn't even try to lie , came up with the booze and gambling knowing full well they weren't the kind to drink and gamble . Couldn't see the Detectives would ask the people he told was their closets friends ? Yep that is how a Narsisist Works. They believe everyone believes them. Seems very immature .
I don't know Jane but I feel like I can see her entire beautiful spirit shining through.... and in something so matter-of- fact as a trial. It's like she's still that teenage girl in high-school with Krysta talking abt her BFF ... and everytime she starts getting upset I just want to hug her 🥺
14:28 - Oops! The Defense attorney gets caught repeating a LIE that Chandler obviously told her! That Michael Hilgendorf had found a SHELL CASING.... whoa.... EMBARRASSING!!! 🤣
I’d be so mad if I was her, I’m sure she gave Chandler a talking to. That was for sure embarrassing he was straight up lying to his counsel and showed everyone and the jury that
I crack up every time she says 'No thank you" I'm grateful they aren't asking questions for the sake of it like in a lot of trials. I often get the impression that the defence is trying to make cases last longer so they earn more.
@@BellaLeoLicorice Yes I like the way they don't try to discredit the witnesses, because there is no point and it just brings a nastiness which is unnecessary. I think it shows class which defences rare do.
They’re defense lawyers. Their job is to prove innocence no matter the crime. Not just let their client go to jail. I’m not saying at all he shouldn’t. Because it obvious he’s guilty. But I’m just saying they need to at least attempt to do their job 😅
@@brookebailey107 what were they going to do? No one who backs up his side of the story exists 😂 “The defense calls Daniel Speith, Aaron Hoover, Alyssa Brandt (or Brant depending on the day), and Tom Sellsnick to the stand… oh wait.” There was no way to discredit the prosecution’s witnesses and they knew it. The evidence was too overwhelming. Not saying they are the cream of the crop either, they are public defenders. Chandler didn’t have the money to hire even a half-decent defense attorney who would attempt to put up some sort of fight. He, and therefore they, were doomed to fail from the get-go.
@Brad Jamesfirst of all she’s 25. Secondly two people she seen as her family were not only shot to death but hacked into pieces. Thirdly they hugged and helped that sick freak so I’m sure they are mentally shaken up by this horrible horrible situation.
@Brad James It's definitely a tough watch and every other word is "like." But I'm trying to sympathise with her for her situation. But I might have to skip parts too.
Hanna...Bless her heart. It seems she, unfortunately, totally soaked up the true vibe of everything. Thank goodness for her and kudos to her for being able to tell what she knew! She was the best witness! What a true example of real feelings for a loved one, especially in such a traumatic experience! I wish I could give her a hug. Prayers to this family! Wow!
These twin girls are so sweet and cute. You can see how they both take after both parents. Just trying to make dinner for their friend they thought was hurting. You can tell they just really loved their family and friends. All these people cared so much about these two victims. I hope he feels like the biggest jerk and guilty as heck the rest of his life. He ruined a lots of lives.
Yah, Hanna Hilgendorf! The first witness that truly showed suspicion from the onset! She seemed whacked, but I think she was an intuitive, no holds barred, truth teller!
This is why they cannot defend him. They can't believe a word from him. I'm sure they begged Chandler to plead guilty, but he thought he was smarter than everyone else.
I think Hannah testify genuinely helped. Even though it was everywhere at times she really gave great details without it feeling like a calculated answer . Which makes you want to believe her even more .
At times I was imagining Hannah was just coming to certain realizations about her interactions with Chandler as she spoke about them on the witness stand. Particularly about what he said to them regarding not having to give their phones to police. I also realized I’ve never actually seen someone talking so fast that I seriously thought she might either start hyperventilating or pass completely out from lack of oxygen.
Reminds me of Joel Guy Jr. Never worked a day in his life, his parents supported him. When they decided to retire and said he'd have to support himself (at almost 30) he murdered them.
I’d like to know what studies were done on his head after his fall. Maybe prior head trauma. I’ve noticed slight synergies between cases where plaintiffs in trials of this nature have suffered somewhat serious head traumas in life.
The second twin to testify was the high energy one who is hyper sensitive to changes in other people’s behavior or vibes. It is not in her nature to take anything which feels off kilter in stride, she instead goes into internal emotional turmoil and time seems to slow down for her and the tension she detects is palpable. I know this because I feel too much as welland it is draining emotionally. God bless her and her family.
When she mentioned not wanting to be there from the moment she walked in I knew exactly what she meant. Also forgetting the question half way through answering, I definitely know how that feels! I bet she’s also very creative.
@@sarahberry6080 she was nervous all along, and honestly, who could blame her? She seems to be a sensitive, smart, genuinely good person. I love her and the entire Hilgendorf family. ❤️🥺 I don't know about you, but I would be lowkey nervous - highkey distraught from all the events; the hienous crime their "Chazz" committed, having butchered their Aunt Krista and Uncle Bart. I don't think anyone who was affected by that nightmare was supposed to "nail" anything. Hanna's testimony was brave and genuine. So was the rest of the family's. ❤️🩹
It feels like Bart and Krista are looking down, watching this trial and are proud to have such loving, caring, sweet, honest friends. I hope they are! I think everyone needs people like the Hilgendorfs in their lives.
I agree also want to just hug each and every one of them Including big daddy I was so very proud of him going to that cabin Looking for his friends Thats a real man The mama is so much like me I really wanted to grab aholt of her and tell her its ok honey I think they will never, ever be the same.... It just changes us to lose those we love Almost every one of my loved ones are gone
What sweet girls! Obviously upset and sad, coming across so incredibly candid. Their parents should be proud of how beautifully these young women turned out. A stark comparison to Chandler
Hanna testified the best. Those girls reflect well on their parents! Both sets of parents are good people - it’s a shame that this son could take 2 good people away from OUR society.
The pause that Jane Hilgendor takes when asked what kind of parents Bart and Krista were was so heart wrenching. They sounded like two special and amazing people 😔🙏🏼💙
These are the best testimonies in the case so far, the ladies were thorough and genuine. The two twins are so different from one another, that always is so interesting to me. You can tell where the second twin gets her spunk, the mom.
Parenting is the hardest job! Dont seem to what Bart & Christa did wrong! Except teach Chandler THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES OUT IN THE WASH, EVEN AFTER THE SPIN CYCLE. They too, believed in his lies!
The second twin was a nervous wreck, rambling and over telling. She gave both heartbreaking and heartfelt testimony. She obviously truly loved her aunt and uncle.
I think Hanna Hilgendorf’s testimony was a HUGE detriment to the Defense. Hanna comes across as extremely sensitive, caring and nurturing. Her replies were genuine and spontaneous. Hanna, although very nervous, (I would be too!) spoke with conviction and integrity. Great job Hanna! I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. 💜
@@mjcherubif the lawyer was doing those things you'd be crying she was harassing the witnesses. The guy has no defense, what do you expect the lawyer to do?
@@VinceP1974 Failure to ask even one question on cross or even object during testimony is ineffective assistance of counsel. If you can't get your client to cop to a plea then step off and have someone else do a better job. It drove me nuts when she sing songed 'no thank you'
Hailey is more like her dad calm and does think to much into things and Hanna is more like the mom anxious and aware of her surroundings. Sweet family.
A really sad thing I am noticing about this trail is the ppl closest the moms best friend and the brother talk about the parents as if they are still alive in the present tense instead of the past. Maybe speaking about them like that helps them cope a little better. Losing somebody to murder instead of a natural death is a very abrupt feeling making their death 10x harder to accept.
That sweet little Hannah obviously the other twin is the one that speaks for her I know twins like this one is strong and talks a lot for the other and the other one is quiet shy and usually has anxiety less her heart
Wow. Chandler seemed to bring out the nurturing, ,motherly side in so many women! At least four now have testified that they wanted to help Chandler and make sure he had his dinner. He had so much help!
Oh Hanna, she was so nervous she just kept talking and her mind couldn't keep up with all the events flooding her. Could also be she is terrified of public speaking, but this is to a TEE how I would be if I needed to testify against someone I considered family. I felt bad for her knowing how anxious she was and how awful it feels. She pulled through strong with some of her convictions, though!
I’ve been watching all the interrogations and videos surrounding this case. Glad to get to this one where it shows the real side of Krista and Bart cause I just knew they were way different than Chandler and Cat explained. I understand Cat explained them that way though because Chandler’s lies to her about them. Such a sad story.
Awe i really like the second twin Hanna. She caught his vibe and def felt something wasnt right. She wanted to leave when the detectives left. She may be an empath.
Being an empath isn’t anything special lol literally almost everyone has some level of empathy or sense of judgement….it’s human nature. Anyone who calls themselves “empath” are usually narcissistic and attention seeking.
I love the people in Wisconsin. My favorite people to work with by far. Just kind, ordinary, polite people. I feel for anyone involved in this case. God Bless them xx Bart and Krista deserved better.
This is my second time watching this trial. The first time , I was watching it live. I didn’t think much if Hanna back then , but I was wrong. I think I’d be grateful to have her as a nurse . She has a big heart ❤️
I agree. She’s so sensitive and caring. As is Hailey. I pray for the Hilgendorf family, that they can gain some healing from this awful tragedy. They’re a beautiful family.
I can really relate to Hannah's sentence structure. She really endeared herself to me during her testimony. If I were a juror I definitely would have listened up to how she felt during the whole disturbance.
Hugs for Hanna. I get why all the comments for her. She does come across as totally honest and real. Feel bad for everyone who's affected by this. It's so disturbing. How can anyone do what this scumbag did? It's appalling.
I'm so surprised at some of you commenter picking these poor people apart! I'm sure you'd be great on the stand in this horrific case! Praying for all their friends and family! So heartbreaking and pray y'all commenting rudeness, I pray you never have to be put on the stand!
I’d 100% be a disaster. I think they did great! I tend to veer off track when speaking a LOT. I can only imagine how weird and uncomfortable it is especially when speaking about people you consider family. People like to troll and be jerks. I think they have sad lives so they take it out on others. Just my thoughts on it 🤷🏼♀️
Sweet comment Ty I was getting bugged Like dont these nit picking people have a life at all Oh its time to watch a new trial so i can tear apart the witness Goodness
They seem like they would be so sweet and loving they left a note for their 25 year old son to have a good day. It is just so disgusting that he would kill them and then to do it in the manner he did it is just so appalling. All of these people’s lives are forever changed so heartbreaking. RIP Bart and Krista. 💔
Chandler's attorney seems to keep asking questions or pushing for answers based on lies Chandler has told her and ends up making it worse for him. I noticed this yesterday also. Given Chandler's history of lying this seems foolish to me.
She should know better, it's clear that Chandler is a pathological liar & believes his lies work. Casey Anthony's lawyer didn't listen to a word she said, he made up a story that explained Casey's horrible behavior to the jury, and she was acquitted. Chandlers lawyer should have immediately acknowledged the lies he told everyone & gave a reason why. It would have taken that ammunition away from the Prosecution, but instead the Prosecution got to be the ones telling the jury about why Chandler did those suspicious things. But somebody told me they're Public Defenders (not sure if it's true), so they may have tons of other cases to work. Prosecutors have MUCH LESS work than Defenders, they get to focus & spend the time they need without other cases suffering. And the tiny budgets for experts & research given to the Defense for the whole year is what Prosecutors get to spend on one case. It's very unfair & slanted against the Defendant, it should be even. I think I would have asked to defend myself.....
@@AliceA333 well they didnt There wasnt much really they could do but what you suggested. Maybe that piece of trash would rather go down than have his false life exposed for real. I had a friend that was a pathological liar I researched it They can become very violent According to the net.drs... It was advisable not to come between them and thei false life they have imagined And built around themselves
I feel so bad for Kristas best friend. I have known one of my best friends for 22 years and I cant imagine losing her in such a brutal way. I hope she has people who can support her through the loss of such a big presence in her life
The second twin seems so nervous, I can't hlpe but feel sorry for her. She also seems rather flighty in her thinking which she describers herself and agrees with the prosecutor that that is nervousness. You just want to hug her.
So crazy to think the innocent sons life was so ripped too pieces but man this family was truly loved by many. The fact that even family friends kids came back to town to try to find them says a lot 🙏🏼

Absolutely spot on.
Yep. Not sure if I'm intuitive but U def don't think there's words for my thoughts on what I've seen
I think most ppl understand intuition is a real thing. Unfortunately though their are some who look down on it cause it more associated with femininity and women. It just means a gut feeling and I'll always listen to mine has yet to steer me wrong.
*Hanna
Hannah vibed the tragedy in the house. Very intuitive of her. Nicely done Hannah. I liked the "duh your parents are missing". She has a cute personality.
Bravo hannah!! You've made your aunt and uncle bart proud!! 😢 you really portrayed who they truly were and the kind of good people they were
Yes she did! ❤️
Jane's testimony absolutely gutted me. You can FEEL the depth of that friendship.
Agreed. She’s the best friend everyone wants. Such a terrific lady.
Really nice to see the judge show respect to the jury as they walk in. Class act.
Refreshing to see such a humble judge. Respect to him.
I'm loving this Judge
Actually, they must all stand when the jury walks in. It's standard.
@@TheOneanjel , I noticed that in the Minnesota trial also, but this judge is awesome!
@@TheOneanjel The judge in the Ahmaud Arbery murder trial never stood up.
Hannah’s intuitive … she felt the wrong doings as she approached the house, was confirmed when she hugged Chandler when her intuition became stronger ….. her testimony solid.
Yes, I was thinking she's obviously naturally v sensitive & perceptive.
@@MissOrchid12 Yeah and cat don't notice nuffin
@@stepheneurosailor1623 that’s what confuses me, how could Cat be around him while all this evilness going on and be fine with it like everything’s just normal. Meanwhile everyone else is picking up on the bad vibes immediately!
@@bendyloco
.referring to his gf? she knew something was up IMO and was playing both sides, would've stayed with him had he got away with it
The only conclusion I can draw. she was involved
Her police interview would make interesting viewing I wonder why they haven't?
@@stepheneurosailor1623 I would LOVE to see the interrogation video of Chandlers GF! But maybe there was a deal made. She was on the stand for a long time so it wouldn’t surprise me if the prosecution wanted to make her pay at least with being uncomfortable on the stand for an extended period of time. It almost seemed gratuitous when I watched the court videos of her.
This family is soooo honest it must be gut wrenching to have to testify here!!! Just amazing! As hard as it was… Bart and Krista would be soooo proud of all four of you!!! Blessings
Yes! You can tell that Jane loved her so much!
Been catching up on this trial. Listening to the different testimonials makes me realize how necessary having good friends is. Just made me realize I need to make more family friends. Burt and Krista seemed like such amazing people. They were loved.
Yes I can relate.
makes me sad i don't think i have people around who would notice if i went missing. I wonder when people would start to worry i don't think it would be for months..
@@leannewilliams9400 I'm the same! I've always been something of a loner, I watch a lot of true crime and it does trigger some worrying thoughts!
The parents were idiots and like working in the medical is like being a criminal. You know like it’s like that. Well,like
Oh, poor Jane... Good grief. She and Krista were obviously like sisters. I simply cannot fathom the pain these people are experiencing. The fallout of the murderer's actions has been extensive.
She’s breaking my heart 😭
@@hotmessjess1849 It's legitimately horrible. :(
00:00 -- Intro
02:21 -- Michel Hilgendorf
18:15 -- Hailey Hilgendorf
31:06 -- Hanna Hilgendorf
47:00 -- Jane Hilgendorf
1:10:33 -- Michael Boldt
This whole trial makes me want to grow my friend group so much. Makes me want to form a real community for my children. These people seem to have been doing all the right things, things I thought were long gone by now in America.
I concur wholeheartedly. Well said!
Omg Me too :( I love in Jersey and I feel like everyone is out for themselves, like it's very hard to find new genuine friends as an adult, meanwhile all my childhood friends have moved on and doing their own thing, even though i would kill for a sleepover 😔 (... well not kill for one, poor choice of words)
Wisconsin people are very nice.
I always found deeper friendships and larger sense of community inside large cities. When I lived in the suburbs I was so detached and isolated.
@ninachkah if you believed it was "poor choice of words" you would have changed them....lol
Omg I love Hannah ... she's straight up REAL !
After seeing her mom on the Stand it's clear she's just like her momma and her twin sister is like her daddy :)
My thoughts exactly!
After watching this I see a lot of internal pain this has caused a lot of their life long friends and you can tell that they were more like an extended family.... He apparently got caught up in his lies to his parents about school and jobs and was too immature to own up to his mistakes. His lies got too big to handle. Red Flags everywhere.He didn't even try to lie , came up with the booze and gambling knowing full well they weren't the kind to drink and gamble . Couldn't see the Detectives would ask the people he told was their closets friends ? Yep that is how a Narsisist Works. They believe everyone believes them. Seems very immature .
I was thinking the same thing.
They even have the same voice/ way of talking. It's so adorable actually.
If the witness immediately following Hannah is Hannah’s mother, Hannah is much more the adult wiman in the family.
I don't know Jane but I feel like I can see her entire beautiful spirit shining through.... and in something so matter-of- fact as a trial. It's like she's still that teenage girl in high-school with Krysta talking abt her BFF
... and everytime she starts getting upset I just want to hug her 🥺
14:28 - Oops! The Defense attorney gets caught repeating a LIE that Chandler obviously told her! That Michael Hilgendorf had found a SHELL CASING.... whoa.... EMBARRASSING!!! 🤣
That part!!!! I was like "you gotta be kidding"
She had nothing to work with. If her client gives her lies, well...
I’d be so mad if I was her, I’m sure she gave Chandler a talking to. That was for sure embarrassing he was straight up lying to his counsel and showed everyone and the jury that
His defense people aren't the best!
I LOVED how he was immediately like NO, never said that, I told him we found NOTHING. That was so satisfying.
You know the defence is doomed when they don't want to cross-examine prosecution witnesses.
I crack up every time she says 'No thank you" I'm grateful they aren't asking questions for the sake of it like in a lot of trials. I often get the impression that the defence is trying to make cases last longer so they earn more.
@@BellaLeoLicorice Yes I like the way they don't try to discredit the witnesses, because there is no point and it just brings a nastiness which is unnecessary. I think it shows class which defences rare do.
They’re defense lawyers. Their job is to prove innocence no matter the crime. Not just let their client go to jail. I’m not saying at all he shouldn’t. Because it obvious he’s guilty. But I’m just saying they need to at least attempt to do their job 😅
@@brookebailey107 what were they going to do? No one who backs up his side of the story exists 😂 “The defense calls Daniel Speith, Aaron Hoover, Alyssa Brandt (or Brant depending on the day), and Tom Sellsnick to the stand… oh wait.” There was no way to discredit the prosecution’s witnesses and they knew it. The evidence was too overwhelming. Not saying they are the cream of the crop either, they are public defenders. Chandler didn’t have the money to hire even a half-decent defense attorney who would attempt to put up some sort of fight. He, and therefore they, were doomed to fail from the get-go.
This judge is such a professional. Incredibly well spoken. Full comand of the courtroom and everyone in it while being respectful and authoritative.
I love himq
Bless your heart Hanna and Hailey. You did a great job. Sorry for your loss sweetheart.
@Brad Jamesfirst of all she’s 25. Secondly two people she seen as her family were not only shot to death but hacked into pieces. Thirdly they hugged and helped that sick freak so I’m sure they are mentally shaken up by this horrible horrible situation.
@Brad James It's definitely a tough watch and every other word is "like." But I'm trying to sympathise with her for her situation. But I might have to skip parts too.
@@Stelpots The mom said Like alot too. You know? 😉
I absolutely love this judge! So kind and considerate with everyone , as anyone should be regardless of their status
Hanna...Bless her heart. It seems she, unfortunately, totally soaked up the true vibe of everything. Thank goodness for her and kudos to her for being able to tell what she knew! She was the best witness! What a true example of real feelings for a loved one, especially in such a traumatic experience! I wish I could give her a hug. Prayers to this family! Wow!
These twin girls are so sweet and cute. You can see how they both take after both parents. Just trying to make dinner for their friend they thought was hurting. You can tell they just really loved their family and friends. All these people cared so much about these two victims. I hope he feels like the biggest jerk and guilty as heck the rest of his life. He ruined a lots of lives.
I love that both twins are nurses, I bet they're incredible at their jobs.
If my best friend of 30 years was cut up by her son, who I loved like a son…. I just can’t.
I think Hanna is an empath. She felt the evil.
Yes, agree absolutely!
Sorry & I think we all have it when our hair on back of the neck stands up. Woman have intuition!
I thought the same thing.
Those were my first thoughts, too.
@@spicyirwin5835 Apparently Cat didn't
The love Krista’s friend had for her. She was lucky to have a friend like that.
Yah, Hanna Hilgendorf! The first witness that truly showed suspicion from the onset! She seemed whacked, but I think she was an intuitive, no holds barred, truth teller!
Obviously Chandler lied to his own lawyer about the dad’s friend (Mr Hilgendorf) finding a gun shell near the family cabin!
Yeah but why?
@@LourdesGzz Because he’s a pathological liar; to throw the police off his own trail.
Wow!! I guess he did lie to her!!!! I wondered why she asked Mr. Hilgendorf that question after he had already said there was nothing there!!
This is why they cannot defend him. They can't believe a word from him. I'm sure they begged Chandler to plead guilty, but he thought he was smarter than everyone else.
I think Hannah testify genuinely helped. Even though it was everywhere at times she really gave great details without it feeling like a calculated answer . Which makes you want to believe her even more .
At times I was imagining Hannah was just coming to certain realizations about her interactions with Chandler as she spoke about them on the witness stand. Particularly about what he said to them regarding not having to give their phones to police.
I also realized I’ve never actually seen someone talking so fast that I seriously thought she might either start hyperventilating or pass completely out from lack of oxygen.
@@LetsBeCivilShallWe hope she’s better at nursing.
@@cleew8762 she’s not the nurse, the other twin is...
@@BilboBegginz They both declared that they each are nurses
@@AmandaLeighS thanks for correcting me, I must have missed that comment.
Hannah needs a huge hug. She is overwhelmed god help her 💜💜
Bless her heart I feel bad for her
Can't believe decent hard working parent can bring up such a monster. May God give peace to the relatives and friends of the Halderson.
Reminds me of Joel Guy Jr. Never worked a day in his life, his parents supported him. When they decided to retire and said he'd have to support himself (at almost 30) he murdered them.
@@BellaLeoLicorice Did not know about this case, but now I will search it. Thank you
I’d like to know what studies were done on his head after his fall. Maybe prior head trauma. I’ve noticed slight synergies between cases where plaintiffs in trials of this nature have suffered somewhat serious head traumas in life.
@@BellaLeoLicorice life insurance. Blessing & a curse.
@@BellaLeoLicorice read this comment somewhere else during this 2 days
The second twin to testify was the high energy one who is hyper sensitive to changes in other people’s behavior or vibes. It is not in her nature to take anything which feels off kilter in stride, she instead goes into internal emotional turmoil and time seems to slow down for her and the tension she detects is palpable. I know this because I feel too much as welland it is draining emotionally. God bless her and her family.
When she mentioned not wanting to be there from the moment she walked in I knew exactly what she meant. Also forgetting the question half way through answering, I definitely know how that feels! I bet she’s also very creative.
Totally. She started off super nervous then just started nailing it.
@@sarahberry6080 she was nervous all along, and honestly, who could blame her?
She seems to be a sensitive, smart, genuinely good person. I love her and the entire Hilgendorf family. ❤️🥺
I don't know about you, but I would be lowkey nervous - highkey distraught from all the events; the hienous crime their "Chazz" committed, having butchered their Aunt Krista and Uncle Bart. I don't think anyone who was affected by that nightmare was supposed to "nail" anything.
Hanna's testimony was brave and genuine. So was the rest of the family's. ❤️🩹
@Kathyann, that’s why I’m so happy to be dead inside.
Ahhh I loveeeee her bestfriend Jane, my heart hurts for all those that they’ve impacted. This is truly tragic 💔
Same 😭. How dare he take those two beloved people from his brother and all their friends who loved them so much!😡
I feel so bad for her best friend 😢you can just see how much she misses her so sad
It feels like Bart and Krista are looking down, watching this trial and are proud to have such loving, caring, sweet, honest friends. I hope they are! I think everyone needs people like the Hilgendorfs in their lives.
I agree also want to just hug each and every one of them
Including big daddy
I was so very proud of him going to that cabin
Looking for his friends
Thats a real man
The mama is so much like me
I really wanted to grab aholt of her and tell her its ok honey
I think they will never, ever be the same....
It just changes us to lose those we love
Almost every one of my loved ones are gone
What sweet girls! Obviously upset and sad, coming across so incredibly candid. Their parents should be proud of how beautifully these young women turned out. A stark comparison to Chandler
Hanna testified the best. Those girls reflect well on their parents! Both sets of parents are good people - it’s a shame that this son could take 2 good people away from OUR society.
Amen.
well put..
The pause that Jane Hilgendor takes when asked what kind of parents Bart and Krista were was so heart wrenching. They sounded like two special and amazing people 😔🙏🏼💙
These are the best testimonies in the case so far, the ladies were thorough and genuine. The two twins are so different from one another, that always is so interesting to me. You can tell where the second twin gets her spunk, the mom.
Wow Hanna hit the nail on the head with Chandler's demeanor
It's really sad to hear the mom would prepared meals for her grown adult son even when they were away for just the weekend.
There are millions of mothers on this earth doing the same for their adult sons. She wasn’t the first and won’t be the last
No she won’t but none of the others seem to been replayed by being dismembered by their sons either
*repayed
This is what creates these monsters. Being overbearing and not raising them to be self sufficient
@@carlyates5382 repaid
I feel so bad for the nice Hildendorf family. Good friends of the Haldersons
All of these Wisconsinites seem like the nicest doggone folks.
That was my impression as well! Everyone seems so kind, sincere and honest. Such a sad story. These poor people will never be the same.
I'm from Oregon west coast and the photos from this place are beautiful. People also seem really really genuine. We're not made up of that here.
What beautiful smart young ladies. WELL DONE Michael and Jane. You did an awesome job.
Parenting is the hardest job! Dont seem to what Bart & Christa did wrong! Except teach Chandler THE TRUTH ALWAYS COMES OUT IN THE WASH, EVEN AFTER THE SPIN CYCLE. They too, believed in his lies!
The second twin was a nervous wreck, rambling and over telling. She gave both heartbreaking and heartfelt testimony. She obviously truly loved her aunt and uncle.
Yeah the rambling technically should have been objected to
Pretty sure she has ADHD and was very overwhelmed.
Hannah is so different than Hailey.
Hanna is lovely and is so much like her wonderful mother.
@@TTMW Omg I’m so tired of this ADHD nonsense!!!
I think Hanna Hilgendorf’s testimony was a HUGE detriment to the Defense. Hanna comes across as extremely sensitive, caring and nurturing. Her replies were genuine and spontaneous. Hanna, although very nervous, (I would be too!) spoke with conviction and integrity.
Great job Hanna! I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. 💜
Yeah her testimony like did it and not the huge amount of forensics in this case
His lawyers were terrible. Not one objection for hearsay, leading questions, relevance etc. Not one question on cross
@@mjcherubif the lawyer was doing those things you'd be crying she was harassing the witnesses.
The guy has no defense, what do you expect the lawyer to do?
@@VinceP1974 Failure to ask even one question on cross or even object during testimony is ineffective assistance of counsel.
If you can't get your client to cop to a plea then step off and have someone else do a better job.
It drove me nuts when she sing songed 'no thank you'
@@mjcherub Ok. Let me know when the appeal is. Should we make an appointment reminder?
Hailey is more like her dad calm and does think to much into things and Hanna is more like the mom anxious and aware of her surroundings. Sweet family.
So many families and loved ones have been shattered by the murders of these two people.
I hope these ladies and their family can find healing and surround Mitchell with support and be his family.
I just love the judge 💙 He’s so polite and kind and you can tell he really cares about people 💙💙💙 Thank you for your service Judge 👨⚖️
I know
I just love his mannerisms
A really sad thing I am noticing about this trail is the ppl closest the moms best friend and the brother talk about the parents as if they are still alive in the present tense instead of the past. Maybe speaking about them like that helps them cope a little better. Losing somebody to murder instead of a natural death is a very abrupt feeling making their death 10x harder to accept.
This Hanna girl is EXTREMELY intuitive. Great job ladies!!! 👏
How odd Chandler asked this gentleman if he saw shotgun shells or blood when he went to the cabin
He brought up in his interrogation that cats grandfather owned a shotgun.. I wonder if he was trying to connect the grandfather to his missing parents
I'm glad the Hilgendorfs have eachother.
That sweet little Hannah obviously the other twin is the one that speaks for her I know twins like this one is strong and talks a lot for the other and the other one is quiet shy and usually has anxiety less her heart
Wow. Chandler seemed to bring out the nurturing, ,motherly side in so many women! At least four now have testified that they wanted to help Chandler and make sure he had his dinner. He had so much help!
Probably felt sorry for him, as he seems dimwitted and dull.
The sweet nurse is so nervous. Bless her heart
The judge is seems very nice and respectful! 👍 Very trustworthy.
Oh Hanna, she was so nervous she just kept talking and her mind couldn't keep up with all the events flooding her. Could also be she is terrified of public speaking, but this is to a TEE how I would be if I needed to testify against someone I considered family. I felt bad for her knowing how anxious she was and how awful it feels. She pulled through strong with some of her convictions, though!
This judge is so professional and warm. I would find his presence so comforting. He handles his court so well
I know hes great
Blows my mind
They are so hateful and stern in va.
You know i wouldnt mind a guilty verdict from him he's so nice
@@lindaarrington9397 it’s refreshing to see such a compassionate respectful but professional judge isn’t it x
39 years of friendship... wow. How sad for it to end that way.
Aww bless Hanna you could tell she was really nervous. So out of her comfort zone.
I’ve been watching all the interrogations and videos surrounding this case. Glad to get to this one where it shows the real side of Krista and Bart cause I just knew they were way different than Chandler and Cat explained. I understand Cat explained them that way though because Chandler’s lies to her about them. Such a sad story.
oh my God to have a best friend like Jane.
So many comments already about this judge, but he is fantastic! Fair and respectful to everyone involved. He’s a joy to watch.
Awe i really like the second twin Hanna. She caught his vibe and def felt something wasnt right. She wanted to leave when the detectives left. She may be an empath.
I thought she must be an empath as well.
I don't know if it would have taken an empath to notice Chandler's behavior.
Being an empath isn’t anything special lol literally almost everyone has some level of empathy or sense of judgement….it’s human nature. Anyone who calls themselves “empath” are usually narcissistic and attention seeking.
"an empath"?
@@casketkey6303
I've never heard of someone being called an empath before this post... I absolutely agree with your last statement.
Judge is a standup gentleman. Even pouring the witnesses water for them. Just a real class act
I just read this comment as he poured the water.
I love this family! They are the sweetest people..I feel so bad all this has happened..so tragic
I love the people in Wisconsin. My favorite people to work with by far. Just kind, ordinary, polite people. I feel for anyone involved in this case. God Bless them xx Bart and Krista deserved better.
I’m so stressed listening to the second twin talk 💆🏻♀️
Yeah she's kind of a mess
@@Thewholetree She was understandably distressed. Showed more emotion than most of Krista’s other friends.
What a lovely family, they seem like very caring and good people. And I could feel how much love Jane has for Krista. I’m so sad for everyone affected
What a really nice man the judge is!! He is so considerate and thoughtful.
Hailey and Hanna are so lovely, Hanna is very intuitive, feeling uneasy in a murder scene without knowing the truth
I could almost feel it the horrible energy through her... panic.
Could tell she was experiencing PTSD on the stand.
Mr. Hilgendorf has a great voice for narration.
This is my second time watching this trial. The first time , I was watching it live. I didn’t think much if Hanna back then , but I was wrong. I think I’d be grateful to have her as a nurse . She has a big heart ❤️
I agree. She’s so sensitive and caring. As is Hailey. I pray for the Hilgendorf family, that they can gain some healing from this awful tragedy. They’re a beautiful family.
I can really relate to Hannah's sentence structure. She really endeared herself to me during her testimony. If I were a juror I definitely would have listened up to how she felt during the whole disturbance.
Hugs for Hanna. I get why all the comments for her. She does come across as totally honest and real. Feel bad for everyone who's affected by this. It's so disturbing. How can anyone do what this scumbag did? It's appalling.
I'm so surprised at some of you commenter picking these poor people apart! I'm sure you'd be great on the stand in this horrific case! Praying for all their friends and family! So heartbreaking and pray y'all commenting rudeness, I pray you never have to be put on the stand!
I’d 100% be a disaster. I think they did great! I tend to veer off track when speaking a LOT. I can only imagine how weird and uncomfortable it is especially when speaking about people you consider family. People like to troll and be jerks. I think they have sad lives so they take it out on others. Just my thoughts on it 🤷🏼♀️
Sweet comment
Ty
I was getting bugged
Like dont these nit picking people have a life at all
Oh its time to watch a new trial so i can tear apart the witness
Goodness
Mike H has a great radio voice!
Watching the defense team appear as though they are “working” is PAINFUL!
The twin is having a hard time answering questions. Bless her heart!
Hanna did an absolutely amazing job testifying through her anxiety.
This judge for real wow 👌 I see everyone is so impressed hope he knows he is really showing there is still good in this world
I respect and treasure this Judge. He is so kind, law abiding (imagine that!), courteous and just so polite.💞🇺🇸
I'm sure that family takes great care of Mitch as they promised their friends ❤
They seem like they would be so sweet and loving they left a note for their 25 year old son to have a good day. It is just so disgusting that he would kill them and then to do it in the manner he did it is just so appalling. All of these people’s lives are forever changed so heartbreaking. RIP Bart and Krista. 💔
Chandler's attorney seems to keep asking questions or pushing for answers based on lies Chandler has told her and ends up making it worse for him. I noticed this yesterday also. Given Chandler's history of lying this seems foolish to me.
Extremely. It the first rule of thumb for a criminal attorney, if you don't know the answer to the question your about to ask, don;t ask it!
She should know better, it's clear that Chandler is a pathological liar & believes his lies work. Casey Anthony's lawyer didn't listen to a word she said, he made up a story that explained Casey's horrible behavior to the jury, and she was acquitted.
Chandlers lawyer should have immediately acknowledged the lies he told everyone & gave a reason why. It would have taken that ammunition away from the Prosecution, but instead the Prosecution got to be the ones telling the jury about why Chandler did those suspicious things.
But somebody told me they're Public Defenders (not sure if it's true), so they may have tons of other cases to work. Prosecutors have MUCH LESS work than Defenders, they get to focus & spend the time they need without other cases suffering. And the tiny budgets for experts & research given to the Defense for the whole year is what Prosecutors get to spend on one case. It's very unfair & slanted against the Defendant, it should be even.
I think I would have asked to defend myself.....
And I am sure his attorney didn't appreciate that he lied to her making her look wrong at every turn.
@@AliceA333 Chandlers attorney's are public defenders
@@AliceA333 well they didnt
There wasnt much really they could do but what you suggested.
Maybe that piece of trash would rather go down than have his false life exposed for real.
I had a friend that was a pathological liar
I researched it
They can become very violent
According to the net.drs...
It was advisable not to come between them and thei false life they have imagined
And built around themselves
You can see that Hannah’s personality is more like her mom and Hayley like her dad.
I feel so bad for Kristas best friend. I have known one of my best friends for 22 years and I cant imagine losing her in such a brutal way. I hope she has people who can support her through the loss of such a big presence in her life
I love to listen to Michael Hilgendorf talk. He has a late night radio - smooth voice. They are a cool family!
The second twin seems so nervous, I can't hlpe but feel sorry for her. She also seems rather flighty in her thinking which she describers herself and agrees with the prosecutor that that is nervousness. You just want to hug her.
Maybe symptoms of PTSD.
I cant think straight when I have an episode.
So crazy to think the innocent sons life was so ripped too pieces but man this family was truly loved by many. The fact that even family friends kids came back to town to try to find them says a lot 🙏🏼
