Honestly...first red flag..."they dated on and off for 7 years"
I thought the same.
Lol yup
Definitely.
lol right??
666 likes I made it 667 no bad luck.💜
Seemed like they were both horrible to each other; I believe she killed him on purpose. GUILTY
I agree with you Alexandra
@Jay Holland same
i agree
Yes I totally agree
Agree
Gosh.. sometimes a relationship can really be toxic for both people. I wish people would let go of relationships like this. Both people may have been ok on their own..
Yes, I was thinking the same thing. They were clearly terrible to each other. Wish they had just walked away before it got here.
My past always clouds my judgement on these cases. As a domestic violence survivor, no matter how much I've healed, I feel like I'll always be like, "If it wasn't him, it would've been her.".
I agree.
Agreed 💯
He was literally leaving in 2 days…
She looks like a totally different person in every photo.
Tru
i thought the same!
I thought exactly the same
I thought that too. When they showed her at her trail I went back and looked at the thumbnail wondering if it was the same person.
was just abt to say the same thing! the mugshot vs the thumbnail picture is shocking
They're both toxic but she literally admitted to killing him out of anger
istg!!!
We don't know that. The audio is unclear.
Yeah, I’m not sure why the police officer in the room couldn’t testify as to what he heard. I know it’s not the same, but I don’t think it should be thrown away completely.
@@Hanniekinz because we don't know what she said, and he has an interest in putting her in jail. She would probably say she didn't confess. No proof is reasonable doubt.
According to the police, who never lie
Here in Muncie Indiana we have an unsolved missing person case. Ashley Morris Mullis ended up missing 4 years ago. Her father is desperately seeking answers. He literally stands on the street holding missing person signs. I’d love it if you could bring awareness to the case. Her father is very receptive to interviews.
Theres a link above you can ask her about this
my birthday is August 1st.. it’s such a weird feeling knowing you were having such a a good day when something horrible was happening to someone else on the same day..
I think about that as well.
She had all intentions to kill him and she did. Guilty.
Привет!
Period !!
Exactly
I think she murdered him but it sounds like a mutually abusive relationship, very sad.
It seemed to be very toxic for both of them... the abuse was mutual... so my question is this... Had it been the other way around, and MK was killed... with the same exact evidence and no confession... and a self defense claim on his part... do you believe that he would have been found not guilty as well?? 🤔 I think he would be found guilty of first degree murder under the same exact circumstances... so because she is a woman, she is able to claim victim?? Unfortunately, our system is very flawed... I don't believe justice was served here
@@veronicanonica I completely agree! 1000%
@@veronicanonica I agree
@@veronicanonica all the women of the jury thought this girl was guilty but TWO men didn’t . It’s rare that a man fails a man but they chose a case like this to do so 😆
@@shiquonnewinkfield4751 I thought that part was shocking the woman could tell she was wrong but then men couldn’t believe she was capable of doing it
Now this is just from my personal experience from being in a DV relationship. As a victim we know we can't fight back or anything in private. So in public it looks as if we're the mean one. But really we're just showing all the built up emotions. I also never spoke to anyone about it. But he constantly talked about me to try to make me look bad or like I deserved it. And I also have went looking for him to come home. They break down your soul and who you are as a person, you depend on them to live. Because they make you believe it. My abuser ended up I prison for being a habitual offender. Who knows what really went on with them though. @Kendall Rae
This. They make you this horrible crazy abuser when they brought you to that point.
Yes.. when I was listening to this it hit home. I would react more in public because it is almost safer? And yes they know exactly how to trigger the response they want out of you so you look like you are unstable. And even though you want to leave if you’re trauma bonded then you feel like you’re dying without them. It’s a very hard situation for outside people to understand but psychologically your abuser is also the person who comforts you so it makes you feel like you need to be with them to survive. It is just a very sad situation for all of the families involved.
I did not know that it was a normal part of the DV timeline of abuse to make the victim seem like the one abusing………….That’s where I’m at in the timeline now. 😢💔
I have called back to back like that too and blown up texts….I even called his mom (asking for advice and wisdom…not to stalk the man. To be clear.) all of that because the last thing he said to me before he left, whispering under his breath…was something like: You’re daughter is f*+\# bc of you. I feel sorry for her with you as her mom.
I would never, ever harm him or anyone physically. I’m getting out. I am just thinking, why was he so vocal about her hitting him or being crazy? I AM a victim. It’s humiliating to tell others, it’s hard, it’s not like I vent and complain openly that he’s this psycho. I say to everyone he’s going through some hard stuff, but he’s a good person. He just needs help.
No ONE, no one should be harmed physically. And it’s heart breaking the young man’s life was stolen from him. Again - it is NOT ok to harm anyone, if there was abuse - he did NOT deserve this. If this wasn’t abuse - he did NOT deserve this. So it’s irrelevant really. Just hurts the family overall. So sorry for the young man @ his family. 🤍
People have no idea what goes on behind closed doors
Agreed. My ex was extremely manipulative and a total narcissist. He had everyone convinced I was horrible and abusive to him "behind closed doors" and he would push me and push me and any reactive abuse I had in public he would be like "SEE SHE'S CRAZY?" And then when we got home he'd verbally and mentally assault me, throw things at me or just past me, punch holes in walls, hurt himself to "not hurt me" and threaten me physically. I got out before it escalated any further. I do not think it was right for her to kill him, but it may have truly been in self-defense. It's definitely not something people outside of DV can understand. Your abuser will 100% turn the world against you so no one will ever believe you and paint you as the villain so you are completely ostracized and alone without them. Like forced co-dependency.
I think that with how they uncovered the information, that this was a terribly toxic relationship. I think if he didn’t pass away, that it’s inevitable that one of them would be dead no matter what.
She literally admitted that she did it because she was angry. She’s a murderer 🤷♀️
We don’t know what she said in that tale that couldn’t be heard. We just know what they said she said. And they wanted her to say she did it
@@lenimizukami8188 wait how ? I’m only 2 minutes in
But we have no proof of that we only have two peoples word agaisnt hers if she confessed in that room or not
@@lenimizukami8188 ?
@@llucyclairee I’m getting my stories mixed up 🥴😅 yikes! I’m sorry
Here me out tho: evidence or not, a man died. Why not at the very LEAST charge her with manslaughter or accidental manslaughter. Getting off Scott free is ridiculous
I agree with this!!
unfortunately that's not how it works
exactly what i was thinking
@@funnylulu2000 lllllpp poop oppoppppppppp poop olpppppp poop oopppp
I’m pretty sure that it was a debate whether it was murder, or self defense. Cause you have a right to defend yourself if someone if trying to hurt you. So even though she mostly did kill him, it’s not necessarily ridiculous because the ruling (unfortunately) was self defense I’m pretty sure. I hope this helps!
Imagine the shocked looks Steve's family's faces when they heard the nasty things he was saying man, I know they were so embarrassed.
we have all said nasty things one time or another in any given situation. These nasty things didn't mean he should have been killed for them!
@@glentownsend4980the fact some thing couldnt even be published in the news shows how fucked up most of his texts were. nobody said he deserved to die bc of those texts, ur pulling that bs out ur ass
i think those texts from steven are definitely enough to raise resonable doubt. sounds like their relationship was really toxic and vioent, but "reactive abuse" is a thing. id probably vote to acquit as well
My thoughts exactly. This case screams reactive abuse, which also makes sense for why she caved when the detective was yelling and cussing at her.
I agree with you 100%. He sounds like a narcissist, so of course he would’ve always been playing the victim while smearing her name. Just the wording she used describing everything made me think “reactive abuse!” Honestly, not an excuse to take a life, but I believe self defense.
Even if the audio wasn’t ruined, she could have said that it was a false confession
Exactly.
From a year earlier after she banged another guy…nah. The forensics showed she loaded the gun and shot him while he was seated.
She grew up around guns, worked in a gun store, and she "accidentally" shot him while passing it over? Yeah, okay.
I'm sure she was terrified to admit she did it. Fear can make you do and say some crazy shit. Not saying she's innocent.. I think they were both toxic to one another and since they didn't separate, it could have been a toss up over who ended up dead.
@@Ellie_baby not really. He was trying to get away from her. He was at a friends house the night if his death and she followed and chased him until she made him come over to the house to eat. He didn’t want to stay with her and she went psycho and shot him. Realized what she did and called the cops. Abusive as he was I 100% think it was a reaction to how she was and he wouldn’t have done shit but leave her as he was trying to do.
@@DasnotCool I was in a situation, wow, almost a year ago now where my ex would CLAIM that he was trying to avoid me. It was weird because I knew we had our problems, but I slowly started to see his friends and relatives treat me very coldly. It wasn’t until I became close with one of his friends that I got told what was being said about me. When I confronted him about it, (around the beginning of Covid), he went to work and took my set of keys and my phone so I couldn’t leave. The doors on our unit locked automatically after they close so he did this knowing that I’d have no way to get back to my belongings or my pets if I chose to leave and no transportation or way to call a friend.
It was bizarre because for months he pretended I was stalking him, pressuring him to stay with me or being some other shade of unreasonable when in reality I desperately wanted to return to my old apartment complex and live peacefully but feared he would hurt my pets or destroy my belongings in the transition.
People can really lie hard.
@@andreiaanderson3394 in no way at all is your story related. This dude left her ass and she went psycho. She found out where he was and chased his ass till he stopped and came back home lady. She wanted him home to “work it out” and when he didn’t want to she shot him. Her story is muddled and has changed over 10 times. She’s a liar, a murderer, and a downright pathetic human being who should be behind bars.
She ended up saying that he came at her and she went blank that’s when she shot him.
Should she not have gotten manslaughter? Even if it was an accident she still killed someone...
Well if it was in “self defense” a lot of people don’t get charged for manslaughter
Agreed
If they don’t make it one of the charges, they can’t charge her with it. Soo many times people that should be doing time don’t because of over zealous prosecution
@@cortney3798 I feel like every murder case should have manslaughter as an option. Not every case is black and white.
im_ mia I was wondering the same thing!
I think based on her actions that were observed by other people in addition to words that the victim had shared with his friends, the weapon being loaded after Mary Katherine had cooked dinner etc, that Mary Katherine was a huge control freak and when she killed him it was not in self defense.
Ok I really have an issue w the statement “there’s no way someone w the trauma Mary claimed to have would be looking up these horrible things” uhm hyper sexuality is VERY real after abuse, trauma does weird things to the brain
‘She was an animal lover’
Also dragged a frog around with a shoelace, hunted animals, and police were involved with animal cases
Okayyy
I understand the other two, but where's the issue with hunting animals? I hunt. It's proven to be a quicker & more ethical death for the animal that any of the meat you buy from your grocery.
Peachy Queen I don’t know it she hunted for meat or ‘sport’ but even if it was to eat, why kill more innocent animals than what are already being killed in the meat industry? I’m English by the way so our attitude to hunting (and gun ownership) is very different to Americans..:
@@peachyqueen4399 Ethical death towards an animal is any oxymoron. 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@nibekus THAT is your only response? That wasn't even worth the likely 7 seconds it took to type. It added absolutely nothing to this conversation.
@@peachyqueen4399 Is something morally justified because it's a personal choice? If someone chooses to abuse a dog or a human, they've personally chosen to do that but it's not morally justified. What about the personal choice of the animals? They would never choose to be killed for us. They don't want to end up on our dinner plate. So what about their personal choice to not live a life of human-inflicted exploitation and death.

I have officially binge watched you all day today
New to your Channel and I can’t get enough!! I’ve been on light duty at work working alone and I put on your videos on all day.
the fact that she was able to work with children as a teacher assistant terrifies me
Ikr. Her way of being reminds me of someone that acts like her.
As a former teachers assistant they didn’t drug test any teachers or assistants in my district. Let’s alone do a psych evaluation. They’re desperate.
@@dude7937 my mom used to work at an urgent care that did drug testing for the school district and other companies but they never had to drug test the bus drivers
The public school system in general terrifies me. There are a lot of psychopaths teaching children right now.
@@mackinzielizabeth872 you’re a moron if you think bus drivers don’t get drug tested.

Omg I was thinking that. If only she would’ve never answered .
@@briannas8806 yeah if only... I guess you dont expect her to go and kill your son. What a fucking monster this Mary Katherine is
How does she feel about NOT knowing her son was a violent wife beater?
@@melaniedavis6989 I don’t remember the video
@@melaniedavis6989 It was stated in the video that she was distraught about that too.
your videos are so well put together. they're great
The friends testimony about the victim can't be taken 100% to heart because a man with his male friends isn't the same with his gf
And why would she casually “toss” a gun to him during a fight.... who even casually tosses a gun anyway
You make a good point. She claimed she was "abused" by him. Who gives their abuser a weapon?? She's a liar and a murderer.
@@maureenhillyardmullis1775 Right and who lures the man who abuses them to the house by harassing him. He was clearly trying to leave the toxic relationship.
@Hays Lanter She can’t truly believe people would believe she tossed a gun and it went off...into the neck 🤦🏼♀️
Exactly!!
Exactly, that’s a very good point...
She’s guilty, I can’t believe they’d let her get off like that
S Random The US justice system is crazy. So many killers walk free and innocent people go to jail. Also everyone and their mother has a gun. I'm so glad I don't live there or I'd be paranoid to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
@@jegeriufanen4415 where are you from?
Shes a pretty little white girl, of course she got away with it 🤬🙄😔
@@jegeriufanen4415 this is true. But I promise you that our Canadian justice system is worse 😤😤🤬🤬😡😡
BOTTOM LINE. She just burned out like so many woman and men. There is some nasty mind fuking people. out there. i hope she is doing okay. pleaese do not get involved with any other men in a relationship and yes, when someone says they shot ...it can happen self defense
“Family says she’s known to love animals” “loves to hunt” 😅
Completely different things. Contrary to what a lot of libtards believe, most hunters don't hunt because they hate animals. Deer hunting for instance. It's much more cruel to let the deer population get out of control than it is to hunt a certain percentage of them.
She chased him down and made him come home, that’s enough for me to convict her. It looks like they had a toxic relationship and he was guilty in participating verbally but there’s no other proof that he ever went beyond that.
She did kill him, So therefore she should AT LEAST get a smaller punishment, and not go completely free from all charges.
I agree. Sounds like the state should have charged her with a lesser charge like man slaughter or something that fits the crime just to a lesser degree than the original charges. If that makes sense. Maybe she wouldn’t have gotten off free as a bird. Definitely deserved to go to prison for this.
@@Crayola.n Yeah a lot of times the prosecution doesn’t want to charge with the lesser offense because they are afraid the jury will go with that instead of charging them with straight up murder. But that’s always a risky move because then you have situations that turn out like this.. Where because there wasn’t a lesser offense to charge her with she just gets off with not guilty and no punishment. Should have added some lesser charges for sure!
They didn’t charge her with a lesser crime so she couldn’t be found guilty of anything less than murder.
The evidence was that they proved he was sitting down when she shot him so that wasn’t self defense. They obviously had a toxic relationship on both ends but she didn’t have to kill him.
Maybe she sent them from his phone to herself? Kind of like that crazy lady who was sending her bf and herself messages from his exes phone pretending to be the ex.......she could have sent them and then deleted them from his phone so when she was planning on killing him it would be "proof".
@@lf9341 I mean, from my understanding you know when the text was sent. It wasn't mentioned that it was sent the night of the murder, so he most likely texted it himself
@@juliarose7236 I think she could have been planning to kill him and sent those text maybe weeks or days before possible when he was taking a shower etc. The thought came to my mind due to another case. Pretty easy to do if you are a psycho.
@@lf9341 I’m not saying she’s innocent but I’m pretty sure it’s confirmed the texts are from him, they check all of that with the cell towers and the dates and times and location. either way, she did kill him on purpose. the evidence shows he was sitting down away from her when he was shot, how is that self defense? smh. I don’t think this was planned though, they would’ve been able to see if it was, I mean it’s possible it was planned and nobody knows forsure, but I feel like she would’ve slipped up and they would’ve found evidence of her searching things up on her phone/computer, buying things to plan the murder, actual proof of the messages being sent by her, etc. who knows though, maybe she hid it well and got away with it.
I am really getting addicted to these videos, I love u kendall🥰
I’m late to the game on this one but a. The way you tell stories is so captivating lol and honestly this case is perplexing!!!
It’s obvious they had a very toxic relationship but she still killed him. She is guilty.
Maybe she sent them from his phone to herself? Kind of like that crazy lady who was sending her bf and herself messages from his exes phone pretending to be the ex.......she could have sent them and then deleted them from his phone so when she was planning on killing him it would be "proof".
@@lf9341 i had that thought... but I'm thinking those texts were recieved at times he was with his friends and had his phone with him?
I’m so happy they didn’t have kids. They were both toxic as hell.
omg, yes! ty God!!
They probably were going to later down the line and indirectly directly teach their children how to treat their significant other/let their significant other treat them. Sad AF.
oh, for sure..
A killer was set free ....anger conjures up devilish actions.....injustice for that young man , doesn't make sense
if my son wrote me that note i would cry my eyes out 😭😭 that man was born with a pure heart
the way you tell these stories is so captivating
i agree
I swear I can’t watch nobody else’s true crimes she tells them so genuinely like you can tell she’s not just telling a story to tell it she’s telling it because she cares !
You should hear Mr Ballen tell stories 😃
Yes! Some people are just sooo good! They make it look easy.
She’s my fave true crime youtuber! Kendall and Christina Randall! 🥰💕😍
This is so idiotic. She did kill him and if he was sitting on the bed then he was not lunging at her and therefore she was not in danger. It is murder.
Exactly. The trajectory shows he was sitting down.
Nonetheless there’s no confession tape and not enough proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s unfortunate but they were both toxic and certainly had issues.
@@4ironblovksonepumokinheady845 it still doesn’t justify her shooting him in the chest
Agree
Yup! She also had time to load it.
My baby daddy is the same way where he tells everyone he loves them, just because he thinks everyone should hear it and know that someone will always love them. That just made me so sad for the boys family and friends. 😭
I love how she expose police mess ups.
They were both abusive towards eachother, but she definitely shot him on purpose
I agree. I was in an abusive marriage for 27 years and he would be the hands on abuser and me the voice. When you are in a toxic relationship your nerves and temper and control can make you do things you normally wouldn't do. You feel like you can't live without them. That no one would want you and you wouldn't be happy with no one else. When it's good it's good but when it's bad it's bad and someone always makes the decision to take the bad one step further. There is always a breaking point ALWAYS.
Thing is the truth might be somewhere in the middle. The girlfriend suffered from a traumatic experience this altered her perception of a health relationship is. The mother comments about her sin being afraid that the girlfriend would commit suicide can be used as proof on what might have happened in the end.
Agreed but everyone has a limit and the gun should of been removed from the house.
Yet who started the abuse?
They seem happy how sad. Makes me wonder how many people who seem happy are actually crazy
Rule one: Treat every firearm as if it’s loaded with one in the chamber.
yeah and if she’s so into guns and “knows everything” then why wouldn’t she know the literal most important rule i’ve known since i could talk
Right ?! It’s legit one of the first couple rules in gun safety. One would think it’s common knowledge (and common sense lol) but I got in a dumbass argument with some popular model on Instagram that posted a bunch of videos and photos trying to be cool by pointing a loaded fucking gun at the cameraman. When I pointed out why it’s not safe to do so, she argued with me, tried to deny it when her cameraman had a literal picture of her pointing the gun directly at him, tried to sick her crew against me, and ofc ended up deleting all the comments; and I’m still salty about it because it’s so lame that someone is so delusional, surrounded by “yes men”, and has the narcissistic trait of never wanting to be wrong even when they’re provided with evidence disproving their argument 🤦♀️
Once you are 100% sure the gun is empty then you still don’t point it ever!!!!!
@@tsmith3286 exactly, unless you’re okay with murdering whoever you point it at 🥴
This. Also, most sensible people would check the safety is on before handing one over if its not an emergency
This story is so sad. This could have easily been my story. Toxic relationships are so twisted, confusing, and difficult. I'm so grateful I was able to get away from the toxic relationship i was in when i was younger. I was in a relationship where it started out with mild "back and forth" pettiness and it caused both of us to both become more toxic towards each other. I consider myself a pretty decent person over all, but its easy to become someone you dont even recognize under manipulative circumstances.
I can’t believe this she was so guilty, she said on the 911 call that it was an accident, but then claimed self defense, why wouldn’t she have said that she shot him in self defense on the phone with 911 operators
Can't imagine how his mom feels for telling this girl his son's location...
Oh my goodness, I didn't even think of that 😢
not to mention, if she shot him with her glock, they do not have a safety lock, they have a safety trigger so you REALLY have to pull the trigger on a glock to shoot it. that’s no accident.
Even just having her finger on the trigger in order to “accidentally” squeeze it, to me proves her intent to harm. Gun safety is never pointing a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them, when you’re pointing a gun at someone with your finger on the trigger, it’s pretty obvious how that’s going to end.
Was thinking this exactly!
@@ViolentNightshade also pointing at someone a fake gun is still not ok
@@ViolentNightshade Thank you. The VERY first safety rule you are taught surrounding firearms is that they are NEVER pointed at someone unless you intend to shoot. She would have known that. Guilty af.
@@ViolentNightshade I know nothing about guns, however your explanation makes, simple logic sense to me. Yes, she is guilty of pulling the trigger.
In my moral book, I call an accident, when a glass slips off my hand and breaks
They failed this man.
Any person standing, with a loaded gun. Towards a person sitting down? The only self defense likely being here, was that man trying to get the gun away from her. But by the sounds of it he never even got the chance.
And how does this even make sense, your story is you throw a gun at a man who you are trying to "protect yourself from"...
Shame on that woman. There are special places.
It doesn’t matter this guy is so abusive and a lot more then her. What so she stalked him? Come on that’s not really abuse. I really don’t think she’s guilty this guys a total jerk. Don’t be abusive and you won’t be shot. I really have no empathy for him at all. She’s just fighting back in self defense.
@@annmarie6870 What evidence is there that he was abusive??? Other than her word?? Who by the way, is someone that was being charged with murder who lied MULTIPLE times?? Angry text messages aren't proof of that. There is wayyy more evidence that SHE was the abuser. It's so disappointing that male victims of domestic violence are so rarely believed. Sad.
@@annmarie6870 Stalking is really abuse. It makes people fear for their life. And she was also verbally abusive too.
@@annmarie6870 Let's say it's true he was abusive why ddnt she break up with him and leave him? Who is she to take someone life, why ddnt she report the abuse, why did she stay. Girl please
Wow! What a trip, my mother & I say "luv ya to the moon & back!" As well. I got her a little moon that lights up & sits in a hand. She loves it. I feel the need to call my mother right now! Be back in 5-50+minutes. Lol 🙃
I believe he could be abusive, those text messages show that. But in that moment when she shot him, it was solely her killing him out of anger. She got so lucky those cops fucked up with the audio, oh my god. She was guilty.
It seems to me that they had some type of BDSM relationship and a lot of his texts seemed more like dom/sub consensual roleplay
@@Kamerenhigdon I agree. They should've shown the context to the messages from him, and included those specific full conversations
@@sarily626 i’m sure they probably did in trial but i doubt kendall could show them without being demonotized. hard to know without looking into how much was actually released to the public
I agree that she was guilty. The grease on the gun proves that she was ready and willing to use it. Unlike most of the other comments on this video, yours is less neutral. If the roles were reversed, everyone of the comments would be against him but due to the fact that it was a female committing the crime, the comments are more neutral.
Exactly, she made the call that she ‘accidentally’ shot him and she was still found not guilty? Bullsh**. Yes he could be abusive but she still shot him. She is guilty.
That lil doggy just laying up living the life we all deserve... just chilling and listening to a good ole murderous story. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️

the way steven was described in the beginning is everything i want to be
Truth is truth. If you’re being honest the story doesn’t change. Period.
This. She changed the story many times and if what happened was true then she'd be repeating that one story all the time not changing it as she pleases unless there is more information about what happened she remembered but she'd keep the first statements as how it is with added info but she kept changing.
@@Maya-dw5jz right...she’s edited it in her mind(several times) depending on who she’s speaking with to create a more suitable narrative for this outcome, getting away with it.
I don’t believe the jury made the right decision. She should have been punished for her actions. I don’t even believe she was abused. She made herself the victim. She’ll be judged by her maker when her time comes.
@@VLM1313 I think it may also be with how the information given is seen as like the first statement she gave they didn't believe her so she tried to change it into something believable but again it didn't work. I have worked in jury, and took part in court proceedings and this happens a lot. They try to créâte these scenarios. She should have been convicted becsuse she did murder someone whether or not a mistake or with intention.
Trauma can really distort memory actually
I genuinely can’t comprehend how people still try to use the “accidental trigger” excuse. This is not the movies nor is it a Hollywood TV series, there’s a pressure value that has to be met for the trigger to pull. Pounds of pressure.
literally!!! guns don’t ever go off for no reason, even if you drop it guns are manufactured to not go off-
She should have been found guilty for at least murder 2 or manslaughter even. They were toxic together and she lied, SEVERAL TIMES, I believe she shot him purposely and that they were abusive to each other.
OMG! This is insane.... SHE IS SOOOO GUILTY!
This is a toxic relationship . But she killed him on purpose.
I agree!
@@briahawkins6176 kinda makes me mad that she never served a little jail time for killing him. like a few years atleast.
Easily the calmest and best storyteller in the true crime genre of TH-cam.
I agree. Doesn't come off as a gossip session, and no phony affects.
With the dog in the background, her voice is borderline ASMR. It's amazing.
She’s one of only three that I even bother with on TH-cam. I feel like you could probably guess the other two lol
@@meghanhenderson8417 I am guessing Bella Fiori and Stephanie Harlowe.
I just found her, this is only my 2nd video, but Christina Randall is really good too. But now I have a new channel to binge on lol.
It’s crazy to see things so close to me. I live one county over and griffin has always been not a good part of Georgia and this just proves my point more.
This is a hard case. This was a very toxic relationship from both ends. I’m very glad I have not had to serve on a jury
They were in an extremely toxic relationship, and I think she did kill him on purpose, but I don’t think there was enough proof. The shittiest type of case.
I agree
Cops definitely screwed up not getting her confession recorded.
I agree. But I think she should've been sentenced to jail at least 3 years.
She’s guilty. Not enough evidence to prove it wasn’t self defense though.
Her simply lying about how she did it was enough thought and tying to play the sad scared girlfriend who “accidentally “ killed their boyfriend on the 911 call (knowing she was drunk or drinking and she probably killed him out of anger especially if they were arguing which can be proved and boom the motive is there and tbh it’s obvious) etc if it was a domestic violence situation and
She was at risk or getting beat or something the cops would know she would’ve said that first on the 911 call too.
I just got further in a video more motive he was gonna leave her ass as he should tbh
And there’s proof she’s pulled a gun on him before just for a fight this time it just so happened that she killed him. Ik you can’t be re trialed for the same crime buttt shiiitt she needs to be cause she probably gonna do it again .
I agree
He was sitting u armed on a bed when shot. All the proof needed right there
They had all the evidence for how many times she would change her story, and evidence that he was just sitting when she killed him. All evidence that she went after him but NOT GUILTY. I really don’t understand the word no enough evidence.
Nailed it. I'm fairly certain she's guilty, but not "beyond a reasonable doubt." Pretty damn close, though.
Ive been in a relationship a bit like that once and honestly either version of the truth is possible.
The cat starting at the couch had me in stitches idk why that caught me so off guard
As someone who is a gun owner a gun doesn’t just “go off”. She killed him, and got away with murder because of those texts he sent a year before. Them losing the confession tape was awful. Both toxic af. Omg, where is she??? I hope she’s not in my state......
Hey! I’m from Ireland and we don’t have guns here (well, debated hahah but definitely not legal) can you explain something to me (you have a gun and obv know more than me), when she said on the 911 call her “gun was tampered” what does that mean exactly? Like is that something that can easily happen?
@@LittleHwangO If the question you are asking is "What does it mean when a gun is tampered?", when something is "tampered with" it means someone else other than her messed with it or "sabatoged" it, hope that helps ^·^
@@randomfandom101 OHHHHH thank you! I assumed that’s that she meant in the 911 call but then the “tampering” of the gun was never spoken about after that so I wasn’t sure if, when it came to firearms, “tampering” meant something else! Thank you for your reply :D
@@LittleHwangO haha no problem :D
As someone who's lived through an accidental shooting where it wasn't known there was a bullet in the chamber, it can happen... I don't think it's what happened in this case AT ALL, but it is possible.
EMT here! We aren’t actually trained in what to do when it comes to ‘crime scenes’. We are just taught to remove danger quickly so we can approach and perform life saving treatment. It’s a very grey area unfortunately. We’d see it more as giving us and other members of the public safety by removing or moving a weapon
Well stop...she could be in jail rn
@@dillydawgdillon8912 they were just following what they were instructed to do.
@@dillydawgdillon8912 keep in mind The boy was still alive at the time. The main thing they're concerned about preserving is that boy's life, not a crime scene.
@@dillydawgdillon8912 no. The police move them too. Victim’s safety and emergency first. It’s actually the first thing we are trained to do on scenes like this at the police department.
@@nina.robbs565 look
I love your channel! I’m binging all your videos. Your videos are so well researched and you are very well spoken! Thank you for all you do!
You present your analysis with such a soothing voice. I appreciate that you don't inject "like" into your language. Thank you.
Are we all just gonna ignore the part where she walked a frog around her neighbour-hood with a shoelace? 😂
😂😂😂😂
Ikr AHAH poor frog
Yeah her family seems to have shared that tidbit from her childhood as if it was charming but it’s freaking stupid and weird.
@@lollipopsfordays3610 Not to mention cruel. I very much doubt that poor from wanted to be dragged around on a shoe lace...
Yeah that is more like animal abuse story rather than a cute childhood story.
Either way, she took a life. And it wasn’t in self defense since he was sitting down. If that was my son, I would be absolutely devastated with the lack of justice.
This!!! I agree 100%! How is it "self defense" when he's sitting down and she's standing!!
Just subscribed to your hubby's channel ❤ yay for paranormal content
The truth never changes but a liar changes their story so many times. She did it. Ugh I hate this.
Sounds like they were in a terrible relationship. They were both wrong in their treatment of eachother.
But she killed him. After threating to kill him multiple times.
So.
@Mo Elm the text messages
@Mo Elm stop trying to sound objective or play them down. those texts proved some abuse on his end. i
@Mo Elm no one said that justifies murder. Just proves he was abusive as well as she was. She’s guilty of murder definitely, but he still was abusive. It’s not like he couldn’t have been abusive and been murdered in the same token.
@Mo Elm what the messages proved was that they were both at the very least verbally abusive to one another. Whether or not the abuse was actually physical we can’t know for sure.
I was in a relationship with someone that made everyone believe I was doing things to him but he was extremely abusive to me but none of his friends took the time to hear me out because of the idea that he already put in their head
exactlyyyyy !!
Been there.
Sounds like my ex-husband.
i definitely think their abuse went both ways but the prosecutors defenses of “a victim wouldnt do this” is absolutely disgusting.
@@hermoinekatz9879 do not take him back. Let him go. Hes not worth the tears.
She killed him and got away with it I don't think it was premeditated in any way.
But she shot him in a rage.
Negligent homicide I feel.
Words of wisdom, if you share an energy with another person, make it good energy. If it's not, leave immediately.
Her: “I accidentally just shot my boyfriend in the neck” Jury: Not guilty 😑
Well, the prosecutor asked for a murder case, while Mary said she, 'accidentally' shot him, so that automatically makes it more complicated, combined with the possible abuse and mostly circumstantial evidence.
There wasn't enough evidence to convict her for murder, they should have gone for a manslaughter charge.
An example of today's female privilege. Just because you cry it doesn't mean you're innocent
@@oren1305 The “accident” part of her statement was proven false so that alone should raise suspicion. I think this was premeditated because of her luring him back with a steak dinner. Just my opinion.
@@hep8008 that’s not “female privilege”, that’s her showing off her manipulation skills.
You forgot the part “even though I’ve gone hunting with guns a million times, know more about guns than my now dead boyfriend and work at a gun store handing many customers guns just fine, but yeah I accidentally shot him in a vital organ” 👌
She’s guilty. She made him come home, and he was sitting when she shot him. If he abused her, why did she go and make him come home?
Exactly, that was some jury
Sooo pissed at the jurors.
That's an excellent question. Absolutely ridiculous that she got away with this.
Yeah she's the murderer
She could of been pushed to that moment
Flabbergasted over the verdict!!!
I've been watching your channel for a while now and never would've thought you'd cover a case so close to home. Makes me only hope that the people that are put in charge of protecting us will do better. :( Can't comment on the verdict because I'm on the fence, but it's alarming and very scary to me that the proper steps weren't followed initially.
Guilty! Can't believe she got away with a clean slate. This is so disturbing
She’s guilty. Jury made the wrong call 100%.
Yes. Men go through abuse too
@@lilgass7648 yea but no one here said they didnt
@@a2point083 I mean obviously otherwise this comment would be under that post. Did you wake up and chose to try and start an argument over the internet because I was literally making a comment based on the lowkey bias I felt from the jury in agreement with the statement the person who’s comment I commented on. Duh.
@@lilgass7648 The unfortunate thing is if he was still alive he'd possibly get more ridicule than Mary and be treated as the villian despite there being more evidence toward her being the aggressor I've seen too many stories where this happens to Men who are accused of rape and or abuse the most recent example that comes to mind is Johnny Depp.
@@lilgass7648 well no shit stop with the boy and girl battle bullshit
I’ve been in an abusive marriage with a narcissist that constantly gaslighted me and broke me down but came off as the nicest man in the world. It cause a toxic co-dependency with the abuser, cant stand the abuse but can’t be without the abuser. Also, victims of violent sexual acts often use graphic pornography and fantasies to help dissociate the actual events they suffered.
Very impressed with this narrator. Subscribed for more.
Older lady from Suffolk uk.
There IS such a thing as a mutually abusive relationships and this seems like one.
They both clearly brought the very worst out of each other x
Agreed. It’s not an excuse to kill someone. However...this level of toxicity leads to tragic and terrible outcomes. The things we say to one another can have devastating results. This Was the culmination. I’m so sad for his family. I don’t think she should have gotten off entirely. There was at the very least a case for manslaughter. I have seen women who have documented cases of savage abuse from their partners, clear cases of self defense and they were still charged with murder and given hefty jail sentences. It’s all terrible. I wish couples could take the hint that HEY! We don’t bring out anything good in each other. Let’s get out of this before someone gets truly hurt....wishful thinking for a more perfect world. Sad.
Absolutely! The neighbors across from me were in one. They attacked each other physically, not in self-defense, and would threaten each other. They are horrifying relationships to witness. There is no side you can take. Two toxic and abusive people fighting for power.
@@KayCeeTX21 unfortunately these kinds of relationships leave both people feeling trapped just not in the same way as one-way abusive relationships. When both are abusive, each one wants to get the last word and have the “power” in the relationship. The anger can turn into complete obsession. It’s scary as hell to witness. My neighbors have come close to killing each other and the police tried so hard but they couldn’t keep them away from each other
Man, if you have a man go to his guy friends and tell them all he's being abused, then something serious is going on. Because unfortunately of how masculinity is viewed, many men will hide that.
FACTS
💯
Who else is here binge watching all of her videos? 🥲
yes 😩
I saw this case she didn't even shed one tear
Kendall: But then her story changed
Me: GUILTY
I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING
Lol same
Crazy to me how police stations don't have the best of the best when it comes to video and audio equipment. These confession videos should be in HD.
Griffin GA is a tiiiny ass town, i’d be surprised if they’re not still recording on tapes
They blow so much money on these souped up Ford Chargers I’m sure they totally disregard their AV systems.
Well judging by your health care system it is a third world country.
go pro police confessions
@@rootsm3 No, some of these stations just don't have the budget. That's just not how it works. There's an entire commissioning agency that decides where that money goes and sometimes the money just isn't there.
Aww that sweet kitty!
10:05 when the pup comes in view 🥺😭🥰
In the 911 call, she says she "accidentally shot her boyfriend" and that she is "so sorry." How does one accidentally shoot someone if it's self-defense?
Dont you just hate when that happens to you all the time. I do. It such a drag.
She said "accidentally shot him in the neck"... maybe shooting him in the neck was the accident part.. maybe she was going for his arm
He was sitting down on a bed so I don’t know what she’d be defending herself from
The dog sleeping in the background is melting my heart.
Same lol I keep losing track of the video cos of it 😬😬
Same!!
@@Playerzlounge69 me too! Lol.
What have I learned from Kendall? Use my Right to remain silent without an attorney. No matter the reason for being there.
I think we can all learn this from true crime: be present or close by our friends when they are breaking up with toxic partners, specially the day they drop the bomb.
