He's a psychopath. - lying - substance abuse - was not abused but hated his parents for no reason - no emotion - only for himself - all the things he did prior to the murders His wife should not waste her life. She dodged a bullet.
She know what he was capable of, she was and is just as dangerous as he his. She was the ultimate puppet master in all this. She knew it was all going to go down. She is the devil he sold is sould to.
What really irritates me in this case is how the family supports throwing Josh under the bus in order to get AJ off and the defense attorney is acting more like prosecutor going after Josh and making up sh!t. I feel sorry for Josh because he has nobody now.
That bothered me too. Come to find out AJ called josh first before 911 phone records proved that. And Josh mental health was out of control after his parents death, that's why it didn't hold up in court. His lawyer was only trying to get AJ off...
@@mslove7798 feel for Josh he lost his family nobody to support him I pray for his peace of mine I hope all the strangers that he will meet will touch his soul in a kind way.
If he gets off, I think he will kill again. Especially if he thinks he can get away with it. Who’s next? Blaming your challenged brother is the lowest.
AJ is guilty and his parents deserves justice. His own mother called his lies out from a text messages. Just the whole dynamics of their relationship vs Josh... with forensic technology, the blood, the cell phone records, and the alarm are FACTS. And I wonder if his grandmother and sister know deep down inside AJ killed his parents, I just don't get why are they supporting a murderer instead of helping Josh cope with the loss of his parents. If Josh suffers from Mental Illness, so does AJ, but he's a cold blooded killer.
This guy is a piece of work. The digital data is undeniable. His every move electronically recorded. Cold-blooded murderer willing to cast doubt on his own brother. He is pond Scum. This family is reprehensible to throw Josh under the bus to save the murderer, like really! The poor little girl was only 12 when he orphaned her. He totally destroyed her life and went on to get married and have a kid. The unabashed gall of him. Justice was served.
Yes, you nailed it right on the head! No other explanation except made up stories. No, there was no proof of death threats against AJSr, just what AJ said. If his dad was involved in criminal activities then a professional killer would have been hired and the hit man would absolutely have their own weapon. Nothing makes sense other than AJ killed his parents and defense using pity card
The defense said the text messages used as evidence were "stupid." The text messages are crucial. The mother called AJ Jr. "a liar and schemer." She says, "The alarm doesn't lie; you lie!" The text about the alarm annihilates the defense's claim that the alarm system was unreliable. Why would the mother use a faulty system to track AJ's whereabouts if it was unreliable? If anything, it proves that the system was well-maintained and frequently monitored.
They( lawyers, family, and AJ) thought because of Josh’s mental illness, it would be easy for him to take the fall. It sounds like Josh was given some bad drugs, allegedly, when he went to college. AJ is showing the same behavior as my daughter, narcissistic, sociopathic, and manipulative. The parents probably hadn’t told the grandparents what they were going through with AJ. Thank God for justice and that the jury got it right.
@@Dee-uv2el Thank you. No, she’s grown and married with a daughter of her own. She lives in a different state. She tries to suppress/ hide the behaviors but if you make her angry enough, they’ll appear. I stay my distance. Thank God for FaceTime 😊
Blaming Josh is simply disgusting. Perhaps They're throwing Josh under the bus because they believe Josh will not be sent to prison due to mental illness. AJ should be held accountable and not get away with it.
@@PatriciaGrady-tl5qh I'm sure AJ had his eye on set on the inheritance as an added incentive. Only now to have to spend it all on trying to keep himself from going to prison for life.

Yes, you are totally right, he lied about really important things too, why lie if you have nothing to hide. Grandmother said it’s natural to lie cause AJ was scared, scared of what? He was not almost hurt and wasn’t scared to get his sister. Grandma jerk!!!

I’m so confused!! Ummmm Josh was NOT on trial so why was the defense speaking on Josh as if he’s on trial?!? This is SOOOOO LOW of him to drag Josh’s name through the dirt and paint an invalid picture of this innocent man??!?!!! Josh may have had those diagnoses but that doesn’t make him a killer. AND Josh was CALLED to the scene, HE WASN’T there until he received the phone call from Aj, THE ACCUSED/CONVICTED!! Like Mrs. Armstrong’s text read “The alarm system doesn’t lie”!! May God bless Josh and may his parents Rest In Peace!! 😇😇🙏🫶
First let me say I'm so glad they finally got this animal. You can only work with what you're given, and evidence says he did it, but whatever they payed the defense attorney it was way to much!

Insted of trying to show one bit of actual evidence that could possibly instill resonable doubt, he does nothing but tell the jury that there are mysterious reasons that the evidence cant possibly true and that maybe because the brother has a mental illness, that would make him a murderer?!?!

15:30- did the DA just say that because the family was related that it was impossible to determine whose DNA was different? Yes, you can live in the same house and be related and share genes, but each of us has our own DNA. You get one chromosome from dad and the other from mom. A person's genome is already DIFFERENT because it contains chromosomes from two different people. Each person has different DNA and no one else on Earth has the exact same DNA sequence as another person, except for Identical twins. So, unless Armstrong was a twin to everyone in that house, what the DA is saying is not accurate.
Let’s keep it 100! No body is worried about catching the real killer . The attorney / friend states “it’s not his job “ Well it’s the entire family , to make sure justice is served for thier love one. But thier son-focus on the son justice what about justice for the parents . I believe this entire case is crazy , the fact the attempt to start the fire , and gun shot practice screams “guilty “ He had a excuse for all that activity .
It’s crazy , but no family members can’t explain all the stuff he looked up on the internet , gun practice w/ pillow or attempt to set a fire . Let keep it one hundred!!!!!!!
In this case, what I would l like for them to do is run cameras showing how many times for the night Josh went to his parents house, there must had been a neighbor"s camera or street or car camera that can show the time of night Josh get home and how many times he left his apartment (if any) other than the time we were told that AJ called him to informed him of their parents death The next thing that would be interesting to know is where could the evidence/s (apart from the gun) be concealed, did AJ took the extra 15 mins after the downstairs sensor was activated at 1:25 am to get rid of the evidences before he called 911 at 1:40am or was he hiding out of fear the killer was looking for him? Did the investigation team search everywhere or because he was'nt a suspect at the time some things were overlooked so he had more times to get rid of them in the morning or days after? 🤷♀️ These questions are based on what I watch just now because I didn't watch the actual court proceeding
This defense atty makes no sense. They have the right defendants. Who murder his family. It’s everyone but him. NOT!!!! The house is lock with the alarm system on so who is the killer. Correct who is no Aj jr righttttttttt NOT!!!! Josh could have smoke week had a 40 and he still didn’t do it the murder is the one in the defendants chair. Y’all wasting time with this …. So I’m going to move on cause this is making no sense @all.
But Josh did not dry to burn the house down with his parents still in the house, firing a gun, probably testing it out, and not looking up on the Internet how to make a car cash look like a accident. I think if AJ could go back to that 16 year old, I believe he would have made different choices. He was angry at his parents, 16 years old, don't like to be told off, or feel like his parents are picking on him all the time. So I believe he did kill his parents. Sad but true. Devil spoke and he listened and acted. Well he has 40 years to think about what he done, or he will still believe he didn't kill his parents. Sad so sad..
Thought he would get away with cold blooded murder. I'm go glad that this jury, the other juries were ignorant, found this disgusting POS guilty! He will forever be known as a monster who killed the people who loved him the most.
What is weired to me is lack of emotion from.the 911 call and subsequent interrogation. He sound like a stone cold killer. Moreso, not wanting a friend to testify in your favour that might help in your case of 40yrs in jail was turned down.
Just think... @ 47:00 that simple rub on his back just might be the last time he feels the hands of a woman on his back smfh!!! Hes only 23yrs old and that my be the last bit of affection from a woman... jail/prison makes you wish for the simple, small things in life!!!
Probably also because he's a step brother and many times people don't have the same degree of love and regard for siblings like that and add to it his mental health issues, to them he was the perfect patsy to sacrifice or so they thought because noone else bought that set up they so conveniently provided, I could be wrong I'm not saying with certainty why they used him as the fall guy but I do know and can say with certainty that this is so terrible tragic and heartbreaking what happened to the parents at the hands of supposed family, this is so bad.
Leading with scripture, in Romans 12: 20, scripture says "Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. Also, In Romans 13: 1-2 says, "Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the law of the land are refusing to obey God , and punishment will follow. The Church and state should be working together for the greater good of citizens. No Against one another. Please read this thoroughly and understand my point. He’s guilty. Give it up. Many adults lack accountability because as children, no one allows them to take ownership of consequences of their actions. In the land of free will, you must understand that every decision has a consequence whether positive or negative. He’s dealing with the negative repercussions of his actions. It was a selfish act. He didn’t care about how it would impact his siblings, grandparents. Shoot the whole family really. He didn’t care about the community then, so why should the community turn and help him now? Even if he was sorry and he has changed, he still needs to do the time for the heinous crime. And his so-called “friends and family” should love him enough to allow him to take responsibility and face the consequences of his actions. That is true love. He has a church backing him... I'm sure you all have prayed and prayed for justice to prevail. Twice prior, the family interfered. In this last trial, God has shown that he is the true only true Judge. The truth has come out! For Aj, only the truth will set him free. Anything you do in darkness will surely come to light! It is written in scripture, and AJ is living it. Do not keep wasting money on this case. Instead, pray for him to be set free from whatever possessed him to commit such a heinous act. Cover him with the holy spirit, Fast and pray for his forgiveness, that when he comes out he will be a free and changed man. AJ needs prayers not enablers! He needs you guys to pray for his forgiveness and for him to change. He does not need prayers to be released from a crime he commited. Do things right by the word you all claim to follow. I'm not saying I hate the man. For the Bible tells us not to persecute even our enemies, but rather, to love them and pray for them. Aj needs to repent and change if we all want to reunite in Heaven. Give him that gift of guidance. Love him enough to accept what has happened and allow him to change from it. It is more hateful to him to coddle him to where he can't be corrected. If you do this, you are causing him to stumble, and for that, God's judgement over you will surely be great. Please be careful and proceed with caution. At this time, I cannot support the "Free AJ" Campaign. However, whenever you have a prayer session dedicated to praying for his forgiveness and a change in his life, reach out and I will wholeheartedly support that motion. Furthermore, I will keep this family and community in my prayers. I pray that God may heal you all from this unexpected tragedy. Losing family members is not easy. Especially ones who made such a great impact on their community. May God Keep you all safe and be with you as you process the harsh reality of the verdict. God spoke through the trial. He judged accordingly. The lawyer and judge, our God has spoken. You don't have to agree, this has God written all over it. At this time I'll also be keeping AJ, His family ( wife and son) as well as Kayra and Josh in prayers. They all need it. May God protect and keep AJ. May he use him as a vessel in the prison like he did with Saul. May he use him for his Glory. For his wife, Kate and Son, may God keep you both and protect you. May he comfort you as you wait for your family to reunite. Unfortunately, your spouse did not have you and you alls future in mind when he committed such a crime. But for better for worse. In due time, you will be reunited. May God give you patience and support to raise your beautiful son and await your husband. For Kayra, I'm sorry your parents were snatched from you so suddenly. May God almighty keep you, protect you, heal you and comfort your deepest wounds. You did not deserve any of this. May God order every step you take and guide you through this life. I'm sure navigating life after such a traumatic event has been difficult, but God is forever with you. Last but certainly not the least, Josh, you may feel like all the family you had turned on you. You may feel as though you were at a greater loss and you certainly did not deserve that treatment. Not from your family! That is the last thing you would expect. But, I pray that God gives you the spirit of forgiveness to forgive all those who turned against you. I pray for healing over you. I pray for comfort. May God cover you. May all that you do be Blessed in the mighty name of Jesus. May everything you touch, any door you enter, every room you step in, be a blessing in your life! May you be like Joseph. Genesis 50:20 says, "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good". Don't let these circumstances break you. God is the author of your life and he has greater plans for you. Your family may have turned on you in a time of desperation at the expense of your life, but vengeance belongs to God and he will use it for your good! May God comfort you and heal you from everything that has transpired. Our God is a great God and he will surely restore everything the devil has put in place to break you. No weapon formed against you will prosper in Jesus name!
Where’s the lawsuit for the alarm company, since they claim the system was faulty and let the culprit in and out if the house like they had a key and code? I can’t stand to look at AJ
If it doesn"t make sense. Then it's not true. There is no way in hell that AJ is not responsible for his parents death! May God have mercy on his miserable soul.
Most times it really ain’t about race; facts and evidence tell us a lot! I know this is an unpopular opinion (don’t matter to me cause I then studied this case for 4 years) #ajarmstrong has been found guilty; but if you look at the facts he committed that murder I didn’t want to believe it years ago but the evidence says a lot. We can have a greet debate on it; what y’all think?
I thought he did it even with the mistrials to much pointing to him Have to say his parents were a beautiful couple hard working people. As a mother I relate to Dawn she knew her children and could call them out on when she saw something that was not ok. Her husband was a good man hardworking like her and love the fact that he treated Josh as his own.
I saw some videos on it years ago and also didn’t/don’t want to believe he was guilty…but I had no idea it went to trial until I saw this video. What are the things that convinced you of his guilt?
@@The313literarylounge The 911 call just to start with and Dawn s words the bullet in his floor the fire. The things he looked up. And the evil that is present in his eyes
I never watch true crime shows "not wanting to believe" that a particular person did it or not. I simply examine the evidence at hand. AJ Jr. is super guilty! This man even searched abt how to blow up a car. Even tried to burn them down before that. He would have eventually killed them at some point.
It's a hard case to understand because AJ got frame all the way he was having difficulty with his parents at 16 true....all teenagers have some issue.....but this kid had no outlet.....meaning no one could understand his frustration. So he told his brother his problems.....big brother analize the situation.....keep in mind he love him....big brother no the matter....how could he help him.....now it became his problem.......now jealousy occur also resentment....and on that night he did what his brother could not do.....because the medical field knows mental health is trigger by thoughts hallucinations that comes to life ......big brother got revenge his schizophrenia voices caused mood swings...then he acted...that's why he never answered any questions
Big brother never answer any questions when police ask him about his doing the night of the killing.....why u think he nevertheless went to the hospital to visit his father before his last words...he was scared....that illness I have seen it all my life.....u cannot blink on a schizophrenia parie.t
What does Jason mom think about,,her son helping cover for killer AJ,,,Jason died from quilt,.,,,,I think he was in on it,,,,,that whole family is in denial,,,,,sadddd
Im glad they got him bcuz he played on family blamed his brutha for his murders....what drove aj to do this...da jury got justice for his parents killings....florida need good prosecutors to nail melly down like this for killing sac & juvy...FOR A FATHER WHO CALLS HIS JR A CON-ARTIST SCAMMER N A LIER SPOKE VOLUMES...THOSE ARE SUM SERIOUS WORDS TO CALL OUT YO CHILD....I REMEMBER FOLLOWING THIS CASE N 21..
Praise God 🙏 I Pray 🙏 Josh is Innocent,It looks like AJ's Attorney decided to Accuse Josh Because of his Mental Conditions,The Verdict wouldn't be that Severe,The Devil 😈 is a lie,All the 🧾 Proof is There,I'm Praying 🙏 for Everyone in the Family,God 🙏 Has the last say,Amen Hallelujah 🙌🙏.
the most frustrating thing about defense lawyers is that roughly half are always lying, theyll knowing lie to the court on behalf of their clients right up until they go to jail, thrn say "disappointed". vultures. justice for josh, this dlawyer knows the truth but would rather destroy another kid. flimsy ass argument, all that 'god' sht was speculation
Scary AF my nephew has the death stares and goes to the bathroom talking to himself smh and wow what is that? What to do , how to and where to get help they just gon lock him up it's going to happen to my nephew omg this is just sad cuz as his aunt idk what to do at times I'm scared to even say anything 😢 I hate this
Lord forgive Pastor Kay Shorter Winston. She is a woman of God who is partial towards her grandchildren and it shows. Antonio Snr adopted Josh as his own, but she didn't care to adopt him as a grandson. Initially when AJ was suspected of murdering his parents, His grandmother Kay Shorter Winston indicated that if her grandchild did it, it was drug influenced, according to ABC13, "Minutes after arriving on scene, Winston said to police, "Let me tell you something. If A.J. did something like this, it had to be drug" (Courtney Fisher, ABC13, 2023) . As if that's an excuse. When they decided to throw Josh under the bus. She strategically framed her response in a way that people will believe that Josh was insane enough to do such a thing. She and Kayra said Josh had been "Just different" upon coming back home from college. Grandmother Kay Winston described Josh as "He was in a dark place", according to Courtney Fisher of ABC13. Kay Winston then said AJ "wasn't perfect" but he wasn't a killer, according to the same article by Courtney Fisher of ABC13. I'll link the news article for you all to read. You can clearly see the difference in how she defends both Josh and AJ. She coddles AJ and paints Josh as a villain. God's Judgement shall prevail. Gods will not yours! At ALL cost, at the expense of someone else’s s life, Kay winston will always choose her own blood. That is ridiculous! May God heal your deepest wounds but may he give you the punishment you deserve! A whole woman of God! This is pure evil! If she defended both Josh and Aj and said it was drugs, I'd say she hurting and doesn't want to to break up her family. But she is all for the break up! She doesn't care what happens to Josh. She'll never dare say any of that about her blood grandchildren AJ and Kayra. The article: abc13.com/aj-armstrong-murder-trial-josh-kayra/13635813/
Listen people ..I don’t know if he did it or not but there security system had not one sensor on the windows nor garage and it was faulty at times If a person knows this they could maybe use a window or knows the system could outsmart it knowing how the systems has flaws Aj did say he saw someone running but police never said anythang about the windows or anythang Ijs if AJ had killed them he would have waited the next morning to call police he would have been scared to call right after his anxiety would have been thru the roof ..I don’t believe AJ did it at all or he was possessed that’s only way I see this happening As far as parents texting him that he lies man please 90% of teenagers go thru this with parents by lies and stuff but they don’t kill there parents Ijs
He's a psychopath.
- lying
- substance abuse
- was not abused but hated his parents for no reason
- no emotion - only for himself
- all the things he did prior to the murders
His wife should not waste her life. She dodged a bullet.
She know what he was capable of, she was and is just as dangerous as he his. She was the ultimate puppet master in all this. She knew it was all going to go down. She is the devil he sold is sould to.

This is one of the saddest cases I've ever seen. May the Armstrongs rest in peace. Lord, have mercy........................
The fact that the granny & the rest family think it’s okay for josh to take the fall and not aj is really evil & height of hypocrisy 🤦🏽♀️
It’s so sad but improbable that anyone other than AJ did it! He is the only one with the motive, the means, the history and the character defects.
If he gets off, I think he will kill again. Especially if he thinks he can get away with it. Who’s next? Blaming your challenged brother is the lowest.
I said this too the other night
That boy already went low when he killed his parents .
AJ is a dangerous boy
AJ is guilty and his parents deserves justice. His own mother called his lies out from a text messages.

15:30- did the DA just say that because the family was related that it was impossible to determine whose DNA was different? Yes, you can live in the same house and be related and share genes, but each of us has our own DNA. You get one chromosome from dad and the other from mom.

The attorney / friend states “it’s not his job “ Well it’s the entire family , to make sure justice is served for thier love one. But thier son-focus on the son justice what about justice for the parents . I believe this entire case is crazy , the fact the attempt to start the fire , and gun shot practice screams “guilty “ He had a excuse for all that activity .
All the defense does is talk about Josh and not address AJ at all, like AJ isn’t even a possible suspect, absurd!
"Manufacturered doubt" pretty much shuts down any doubt that the jury might have been feeling. Hes pretty good
I liked that too 👍
Yeah, it was simple but it worked....
great closing arument.
Agree
It’s crazy , but no family members can’t explain all the stuff he looked up on the internet , gun practice w/ pillow or attempt to set a fire . Let keep it one hundred!!!!!!!
In this case, what I would l like for them to do is run cameras showing how many times for the night Josh went to his parents house, there must had been a neighbor"s camera or street or car camera that can show the time of night Josh get home and how many times he left his apartment (if any) other than the time we were told that AJ called him to informed him of their parents death
The next thing that would be interesting to know is where could the evidence/s (apart from the gun) be concealed, did AJ took the extra 15 mins after the downstairs sensor was activated at 1:25 am to get rid of the evidences before he called 911 at 1:40am or was he hiding out of fear the killer was looking for him? Did the investigation team search everywhere or because he was'nt a suspect at the time some things were overlooked so he had more times to get rid of them in the morning or days after? 🤷♀️
These questions are based on what I watch just now because I didn't watch the actual court proceeding
AJ absolutely did it to much of mishaps &then trying to frame his brother he’s a piece of work
He did it, but that blood was likely planted.
This defense atty makes no sense. They have the right defendants. Who murder his family. It’s everyone but him. NOT!!!! The house is lock with the alarm system on so who is the killer. Correct who is no Aj jr righttttttttt NOT!!!! Josh could have smoke week had a 40 and he still didn’t do it the murder is the one in the defendants chair. Y’all wasting time with this …. So I’m going to move on cause this is making no sense @all.
But Josh did not dry to burn the house down with his parents still in the house, firing a gun, probably testing it out, and not looking up on the Internet how to make a car cash look like a accident.
I think if AJ could go back to that 16 year old, I believe he would have made different choices. He was angry at his parents, 16 years old, don't like to be told off, or feel like his parents are picking on him all the time.
So I believe he did kill his parents.
Sad but true.
Devil spoke and he listened and acted.
Well he has 40 years to think about what he done, or he will still believe he didn't kill his parents.
Sad so sad..
Thought he would get away with cold blooded murder. I'm go glad that this jury, the other juries were ignorant, found this disgusting POS guilty! He will forever be known as a monster who killed the people who loved him the most.
this defense attorney is a bum
So that young man's wife better realize that he killed his parents He his capable of killing her.
She was winking at him in the earlier trials. She knows what happened. Just my opinion.
What is weired to me is lack of emotion from.the 911 call and subsequent interrogation. He sound like a stone cold killer. Moreso, not wanting a friend to testify in your favour that might help in your case of 40yrs in jail was turned down.
Dang the the photos if the house show two stories I’m confused
33:28 🔥🔥🔥
33:42
Aj Did it, it's sad they're spinning it on Josh😢
Enough
The kid is a bad seed
Antonio AJ Armstrong killed his parents who were tough on him because they wished him a better future and were afraid he would ruin his future.
this defense lawyer spent so much time focusing on Josh and just ruined his closing remarks
Just think... @ 47:00 that simple rub on his back just might be the last time he feels the hands of a woman on his back smfh!!! Hes only 23yrs old and that my be the last bit of affection from a woman... jail/prison makes you wish for the simple, small things in life!!!
I think he did it ☹️
Sorry but the defense sucks
Leave josh the hell alone. There’s something wrong in your head!
this boy is very crazy
I’m honestly in disbelief that those other 2 juries couldn’t convict
Was he ever given a lie detector test ?
Wow that family wanted to put josh in trouble for Armstrong hr he is the killer and the family supporting him that is disgusting.
They probably thought Josh could be the likely suspect due to his mental illness and that he would be found not guilty due to insanity
Probably also because he's a step brother and many times people don't have the same degree of love and regard for siblings like that and add to it his mental health issues, to them he was the perfect patsy to sacrifice or so they thought because noone else bought that set up they so conveniently provided, I could be wrong I'm not saying with certainty why they used him as the fall guy but I do know and can say with certainty that this is so terrible tragic and heartbreaking what happened to the parents at the hands of supposed family, this is so bad.
This is discusting, poor Josh. This is a win for Josh.😢 they got him Josh.
I pray that God will touch AJ so he can confess. It seems his heart is soo hard 💔
What heart? He's a sociopath.
Leading with scripture, in Romans 12: 20, scripture says "Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
Also, In Romans 13: 1-2 says, "Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the law of the land are refusing to obey God , and punishment will follow.
The Church and state should be working together for the greater good of citizens. No Against one another.
Please read this thoroughly and understand my point.
He’s guilty. Give it up. Many adults lack accountability because as children, no one allows them to take ownership of consequences of their actions. In the land of free will, you must understand that every decision has a consequence whether positive or negative. He’s dealing with the negative repercussions of his actions. It was a selfish act. He didn’t care about how it would impact his siblings, grandparents. Shoot the whole family really. He didn’t care about the community then, so why should the community turn and help him now? Even if he was sorry and he has changed, he still needs to do the time for the heinous crime. And his so-called “friends and family” should love him enough to allow him to take responsibility and face the consequences of his actions. That is true love. He has a church backing him... I'm sure you all have prayed and prayed for justice to prevail. Twice prior, the family interfered. In this last trial, God has shown that he is the true only true Judge. The truth has come out! For Aj, only the truth will set him free. Anything you do in darkness will surely come to light! It is written in scripture, and AJ is living it. Do not keep wasting money on this case. Instead, pray for him to be set free from whatever possessed him to commit such a heinous act. Cover him with the holy spirit, Fast and pray for his forgiveness, that when he comes out he will be a free and changed man. AJ needs prayers not enablers! He needs you guys to pray for his forgiveness and for him to change. He does not need prayers to be released from a crime he commited. Do things right by the word you all claim to follow. I'm not saying I hate the man. For the Bible tells us not to persecute even our enemies, but rather, to love them and pray for them. Aj needs to repent and change if we all want to reunite in Heaven. Give him that gift of guidance. Love him enough to accept what has happened and allow him to change from it. It is more hateful to him to coddle him to where he can't be corrected. If you do this, you are causing him to stumble, and for that, God's judgement over you will surely be great. Please be careful and proceed with caution. At this time, I cannot support the "Free AJ" Campaign. However, whenever you have a prayer session dedicated to praying for his forgiveness and a change in his life, reach out and I will wholeheartedly support that motion. Furthermore, I will keep this family and community in my prayers. I pray that God may heal you all from this unexpected tragedy. Losing family members is not easy. Especially ones who made such a great impact on their community. May God Keep you all safe and be with you as you process the harsh reality of the verdict. God spoke through the trial. He judged accordingly. The lawyer and judge, our God has spoken. You don't have to agree, this has God written all over it.
At this time I'll also be keeping AJ, His family ( wife and son) as well as Kayra and Josh in prayers. They all need it. May God protect and keep AJ. May he use him as a vessel in the prison like he did with Saul. May he use him for his Glory.
For his wife, Kate and Son, may God keep you both and protect you. May he comfort you as you wait for your family to reunite. Unfortunately, your spouse did not have you and you alls future in mind when he committed such a crime. But for better for worse. In due time, you will be reunited. May God give you patience and support to raise your beautiful son and await your husband.
For Kayra, I'm sorry your parents were snatched from you so suddenly. May God almighty keep you, protect you, heal you and comfort your deepest wounds. You did not deserve any of this. May God order every step you take and guide you through this life. I'm sure navigating life after such a traumatic event has been difficult, but God is forever with you.
Last but certainly not the least, Josh, you may feel like all the family you had turned on you. You may feel as though you were at a greater loss and you certainly did not deserve that treatment. Not from your family! That is the last thing you would expect. But, I pray that God gives you the spirit of forgiveness to forgive all those who turned against you. I pray for healing over you. I pray for comfort. May God cover you. May all that you do be Blessed in the mighty name of Jesus. May everything you touch, any door you enter, every room you step in, be a blessing in your life! May you be like Joseph. Genesis 50:20 says, "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good". Don't let these circumstances break you. God is the author of your life and he has greater plans for you. Your family may have turned on you in a time of desperation at the expense of your life, but vengeance belongs to God and he will use it for your good! May God comfort you and heal you from everything that has transpired. Our God is a great God and he will surely restore everything the devil has put in place to break you. No weapon formed against you will prosper in Jesus name!
Where’s the lawsuit for the alarm company, since they claim the system was faulty and let the culprit in and out if the house like they had a key and code? I can’t stand to look at AJ
The DA is condescending and arrogant. I don’t think it’ll sit well with the jury.
I feel the exact way about the defense ‼️
He is found guilty on his way to state pen. The jury got it right this time...
It's did he Guilty!!
I don't think the jury agrees with you.
I don't know y but I still feel sorry for this kid 😢AJ
I would ask grandma, would you invite Josh to eat at your home 🏡 and if not, why? Would you invite AJ to your home? and so why? If not, why not?
....defense never convinced me that the father's gun was in the hands of an intruder...
It was one armed man
Or Harrison Ford
NO One Speak of Jason the cousin why he killed Hiself cause he joined AJ in those MURDERS of AJ Parents AJ GUILTY as SIN👉👀🤮💯
Jason? Tell me more, Please.
Yeah who’s this cousin? Haven’t heard anything about him.
Fake Narrative🤦🏽♀️
If it doesn"t make sense. Then it's not true. There is no way in hell that AJ is not responsible for his parents death! May God have mercy on his miserable soul.
Stop the game and lock up AJ. JOSHIS INNOCENT. STUPID
Most times it really ain’t about race; facts and evidence tell us a lot! I know this is an unpopular opinion (don’t matter to me cause I then studied this case for 4 years) #ajarmstrong has been found guilty; but if you look at the facts he committed that murder I didn’t want to believe it years ago but the evidence says a lot. We can have a greet debate on it; what y’all think?
HE 100000000000% DID IT. PERIOD.
I thought he did it even with the mistrials to much pointing to him Have to say his parents were a beautiful couple hard working people. As a mother I relate to Dawn she knew her children and could call them out on when she saw something that was not ok. Her husband was a good man hardworking like her and love the fact that he treated Josh as his own.
I saw some videos on it years ago and also didn’t/don’t want to believe he was guilty…but I had no idea it went to trial until I saw this video. What are the things that convinced you of his guilt?
@@The313literarylounge The 911 call just to start with and Dawn s words the bullet in his floor the fire. The things he looked up. And the evil that is present in his eyes
I never watch true crime shows "not wanting to believe" that a particular person did it or not. I simply examine the evidence at hand. AJ Jr. is super guilty! This man even searched abt how to blow up a car. Even tried to burn them down before that. He would have eventually killed them at some point.
Hi to the world.......I have been following this case for a while
It's a hard case to understand because AJ got frame all the way he was having difficulty with his parents at 16 true....all teenagers have some issue.....but this kid had no outlet.....meaning no one could understand his frustration. So he told his brother his problems.....big brother analize the situation.....keep in mind he love him....big brother no the matter....how could he help him.....now it became his problem.......now jealousy occur also resentment....and on that night he did what his brother could not do.....because the medical field knows mental health is trigger by thoughts hallucinations that comes to life ......big brother got revenge his schizophrenia voices caused mood swings...then he acted...that's why he never answered any questions
Big brother never answer any questions when police ask him about his doing the night of the killing.....why u think he nevertheless went to the hospital to visit his father before his last words...he was scared....that illness I have seen it all my life.....u cannot blink on a schizophrenia parie.t
Somebody sure was coughing alot everytime the prosecutor was making valid points.
What does Jason mom think about,,her son helping cover for killer AJ,,,Jason died from quilt,.,,,,I think he was in on it,,,,,that whole family is in denial,,,,,sadddd
THIS Procecutor is GREAT 👉 At Explaining Who Done this MURDER & How His Evidence 🧾 PROVES AJ GUILTY AJ Devil ACTIONS & PARENTS Text Against AJ👉🤮💯🧾
Defense attorney is pretty good at nailing his client to the wall in closing too. He isn't the brightest light bulb in the box.😂😂
@@lilpinksliplee7310sthu AJ on his to prison.
Im glad they got him bcuz he played on family blamed his brutha for his murders....what drove aj to do this...da jury got justice for his parents killings....florida need good prosecutors to nail melly down like this for killing sac & juvy...FOR A FATHER WHO CALLS HIS JR A CON-ARTIST SCAMMER N A LIER SPOKE VOLUMES...THOSE ARE SUM SERIOUS WORDS TO CALL OUT YO CHILD....I REMEMBER FOLLOWING THIS CASE N 21..

Defendant’s lawyer just wanted to win & save AJ for his career upgrade smh lawyers are good & bad at the same time😢

the most frustrating thing about defense lawyers is that roughly half are always lying, theyll knowing lie to the court on behalf of their clients right up until they go to jail, thrn say "disappointed". vultures. justice for josh, this dlawyer knows the truth but would rather destroy another kid. flimsy ass argument, all that 'god' sht was speculation
Showing no emotions st all

👍🏽🙏🏾
He is really good he gave Dawn a voice.
Lord forgive Pastor Kay Shorter Winston. She is a woman of God who is partial towards her grandchildren and it shows. Antonio Snr adopted Josh as his own, but she didn't care to adopt him as a grandson. Initially when AJ was suspected of murdering his parents, His grandmother Kay Shorter Winston indicated that if her grandchild did it, it was drug influenced, according to ABC13, "Minutes after arriving on scene, Winston said to police, "Let me tell you something. If A.J. did something like this, it had to be drug" (Courtney Fisher, ABC13, 2023) . As if that's an excuse. When they decided to throw Josh under the bus. She strategically framed her response in a way that people will believe that Josh was insane enough to do such a thing. She and Kayra said Josh had been "Just different" upon coming back home from college. Grandmother Kay Winston described Josh as "He was in a dark place", according to Courtney Fisher of ABC13. Kay Winston then said AJ "wasn't perfect" but he wasn't a killer, according to the same article by Courtney Fisher of ABC13. I'll link the news article for you all to read. You can clearly see the difference in how she defends both Josh and AJ. She coddles AJ and paints Josh as a villain. God's Judgement shall prevail. Gods will not yours! At ALL cost, at the expense of someone else’s s life, Kay winston will always choose her own blood. That is ridiculous! May God heal your deepest wounds but may he give you the punishment you deserve! A whole woman of God! This is pure evil! If she defended both Josh and Aj and said it was drugs, I'd say she hurting and doesn't want to to break up her family. But she is all for the break up! She doesn't care what happens to Josh. She'll never dare say any of that about her blood grandchildren AJ and Kayra.
The article: abc13.com/aj-armstrong-murder-trial-josh-kayra/13635813/
AJ definitely did it but this lawyer sucks. It’s an easy case just stick to the facts, he’s too emotional
Here about to go to the gym
Guilty
Listen people ..I don’t know if he did it or not but there security system had not one sensor on the windows nor garage and it was faulty at times
If a person knows this they could maybe use a window or knows the system could
outsmart it knowing how the systems has flaws
Aj did say he saw someone running but police never said anythang about the windows or anythang
Ijs if AJ had killed them he would have waited the next morning to call police he would have been scared to call right after his anxiety would have been thru the roof ..I don’t believe AJ did it at all or he was possessed that’s only way I see this happening
As far as parents texting him that he lies man please 90% of teenagers go thru this with parents by lies and stuff but they don’t kill there parents Ijs
False
False
I watch tĥe first trial anf i believe he was guilty.
