Criminal Lawyer Reacts to Top 5 Wildest Courtroom Outbursts from High-Profile Trials 

The guy who tried to attack Nassar was a local hero here in Michigan (it was local here) for a week or so. If I recall correctly he didn't have charges brought against him and his union (you can which see on his shirt) payed whatever expenses he had from missing work or whatever. I understand why Bruce can't endorse that behavior but Randall Margraves is a legend.

We had a case in Texas with a man who hurt (can't remember if he raped or killed her) a young woman. Her dad gave a victim impact statement, then leaped over the table and pounded the defendant as hard as he could until the deputies pulled him off the guy. As this is Texas, the father faced no changes.

12:48 father heard things during the trial that he had no idea about. He knew that Larry Nassar had assaulted his daughters but he did not have all of the details until he sat through the trial, w his daughters by his side. It had to have been heartbreaking! And for that monster to just sit there and pretend like he did nothing wrong is just disgusting on a million levels!

13:43 what hurts a lot about this guy is that it’s all 3 of his daughters that were assaulted by that coach. not putting down any of the other victims’ trauma btw it’s just sad to know every single one of his kids specifically went through that :(

The times ive been most honest w cops have always backfired...thanks for spreading the "no self snitchin" message

The man who said "I'll see you in 10 years" wasn't a witness. That was Alex Zaldivar's father who had every right to be emotional after his 19 year old son was killed execution style by 27 year old Bessman Okafor during a home invasion the purpose of which was to murder witnesses the day before they could testify in a home invasion trial. But I actually think the statement is being misconstrued (even by those involved who took it as a threat). Rafael Zaldivar was incredibly frustrated and vocally critical of the Judge, County and State over essentially a shell game with the death penalty, Nolan Darnell Bernard and Bessman Okafor both had lengthy violent criminal records and they committed premediated murder with the express purpose of eliminating witnesses in their other trial yet because of really a shocking level of sloppiness on the part of the court they kept being able to avoid the death penalty. I believe what Rafael actually meant was "this whole thing is such a mess that it will take at least 10 years for me to see you actually tried for the death penalty." Not "I'll attack you myself in 10 years" especially because there was no chance any of the defendants would even be out of prison in 10 years. I know this is a long comment on a 5 month old video so it might never get read, but I think it's worth clarifying. It's also worth noting that this case was from 2013 and 10 years later Rafael is still fighting on behalf of his son. Rest in Peace Alex Zaldivar

JEEZ BRUCE that story at 15:00 Lmfao! You can't be self snitchin like that my man. Love your content 🤣

The prosecutor in the Brooks trial did say “the defendant” in a funky way lol. I remember hearing it and thinking she had some sass in her voice 🤣

Gotta give props and respect to the homie dad for taking a charge for his girls, he even asked properly and nicely a few times but he did what he had to do , and i respect him for that.

7:25 LOL, this might just be me, but it really did sound like Sue Opper emphasized DEFENDANT in that way. Knowing that he'd get all riled up and that she can play it off. I'm all for it, because Darrell's been gaslighting everyone the last 20-30 years. -- What cracks me up is how Darrell says: 'Run the record back' like he's some MC at a rap show directing the DJ.

I love it when the they’re quick enough to get a few shots in when it’s deserved.

If Rivers want to do another 30 wildest outbursts, he can get them all from the Brooks trial.

I love the reasons you come up with for going to eforms. Race car granny? 😄 Classic

"You don't have to live through it, lady" - exactly!

YES!! I''m so happy Law and Crime's partnering with you guys!! You both would make an amaaaazing team!!

Oh man, Grandma is making eForms a ton of money!! 😂

I always enjoy the analysis, but I really love hearing about the stupid stuff Grandma gets up to that we need legal forms to mitigate.

For the first one... I've been that attorney so many times. It's so annoying trying to get an ahole client to shut up! I don't get to select my clients either.

The eForms hypotheticals are always a riot!

I always listen to the twist on the e-Forms promotion. Then I wonder if you’ve ever seen some of the crazy situations you describe. Thanks for keeping it real…and keeping it fun.

Love to hear your interpretation and reaction to the Delphi situation where the accused’s attorney is saying the probable cause affidavit is slim to nothing and you’ve got the wrong guy, it’s not Richard Allen. I love your take on that whole case and then the legal crap around it. Like the judge recusing himself for no reason. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks Bruce for giving us knowledge of the law and Thank you Michael for all the behind the scene work you do 🙏

I like your observations and explanations. Please do more. Thank you.

Would love to see a video with you and one of your cases! 😊

I LOVE how you are a criminal defended lawyer and you call out the bullshite these scum bags do. Thank you!

I like when you share some of the things you experienced one on one with the people you represented. Idk how long you’ve been practicing but I’m sure you have a ton of interesting stories

The pistol cuff-links are ICONIC 🔥🔥🔥

Bruce, I'm surprised you were okay with the possibility of your client getting "one or two" hits in against prosecutor you didn't like!

I love ur reaction to this stuff with a sprinkle of your own personal experiences in your profession! It's been so fun to watch this channel grow... keep em comin guys! 😉😇🤌💜

Thank you for more great content! Love your insights with a proper amount of sass 😊

Bruce I’m mesmerized by your videos. You are so entertaining and informative. I’m old enough to have watched Perry Mason not the reruns but the original programs. You just need a Della Street.

I just found this channel and his intro has no business going that hard 💀

Michael Rivers.. Great call suggesting this one. Love it. Thank you.

‘He might get one or two in’…😂😂😂😂😂

There seems to be a new fad in courtrooms where disrespect was left in the hallways. It’s unreal how these defendants and lawyers act. Perhaps anger management should now be a requirement to pass in high schools and colleges.

Attorney Rivers, I love your channel. I love watching your reactions to all the different court room buffoonery. If you happen to read these comments & taking video ideas from your fans, then if I may: - The law is overwhelmingly complicated & overwhelmingly intrigued we are by it, thus a reason we watch you. I think it would be fascinating to hear some of your best stories, be it from your time at law school to some of your most memorable cases. There's no doubt you are a great & successful lawyer & we would like to know more about you, Bruce Rivers the professional. You could make a video 4 hours long talking about just anything & believe me, we will watch every second of it. *What case made you feel like you were on top of the world?* *What case made you feel like the scummiest dirtbag in all of ever? Why?* *What case tugged on your heart the most?* *What case taught you something about yourself you were surprised to find out?* *What are the wildest things that you've seen happen in court?* *What is your most memorable dilemma that challenged you & decision making abilities? Did you make the right call?*

Thanks Mike and Bruce! I LOVE these videos!!❤❤❤❤

I enjoy your commentary ao much. It's so level, matter of fact, and genuinely heart felt. You must be a fantastic lawyer in the courtroom.

I started watching RU-vid legal content due to the Darrell Brooks trial. Bruce Rivers is my favorite! I am glad I found CLR!

Bruce, your little personal gems make my day! Love you

Most down to earth and relatable lawyer on RU-vid

Love these types of Video reactions!! So interesting to see/hear and also hear your interpretation of it all!! Thanks again To My Favorite Channel!! Much Love, Michele - PA

Love these compilations! Ty

I remember that gym coach one, as a father myself I wouldn't think twice about going to jail to avenge my baby.

Do others feel the same way about Bruce's intro song being a total earcatcher after watching the episode? :D

I love all your content Bruce. I really appreciate it bc I come from a rough background w no dad, older white lady at their time, so it’s nice to get good information.

I think they declined to press charges against the dad in the Nassar case.

Bruce Willis is the criminal lawyer! Bruce Willis is the criminal lawyer!😂😂😂

Michael Rivers is a genius for "thinking 💬🤔 this was a good idea. Bruce is great too. Chicago Illinois rocks with this 😎 content.

I ADORE this content. Really hope you do more of it.

Love your commentary!!! I would love to see your video without as many cuts that are so easy to see. I think you have so many on point things to say! I just wish I wasn’t as distracted with as many cuts as I could catch.

Truth be told, I don't think anyone in that room blamed that dad for wanting to take his daughter's abuser out.

Always enjoy your insights

I have been binge watching your channel since i found it a few days ago. I love CLR Bruce Rivers.

“Lucky for that prosecutor, we got an acquittal” lol flexing that law power

Great content. Love your channel. Thank you. Great cases.

Love your insight. Great video

I very much enjoy your insights into criminal, lawyer, judiciary and police behavior. Please continue making these videos.

I got out of jury duty, armed home invasion, assault, high profile ... sat next to people who wanted to be chosen! Eyed me with envy when my number was called. I told them I agreed with a local politician, I knew the defense hated and that was it. We weren't allowed anything except a pen and little yellow legal pad they gave us, and one drink, 15 min break. Not one person returned the pen as we were told to.

Love your channel love your content. Well done !!!!! Love it!!!

Love your content Bruce! ❤

❤ love your channel, knowledge, fun personality and smart attire

I enjoy your critique and sense of humor! May i say, your fashion sense is refreshing! Its classic but modern and all very unique 😊. Thank you for keeping it real and entertaining. 😸

I enjoy your commentaries. Absolutely!

Love the content!!! Keep it coming

I learn a lot with each of these fun filled episodes! The law is fascinated

Just found Bruce and Michael Rivers and loving it

Really was hoping you’d react to more of this trial. Was absolutely wild.. jumped the gun thought it was more Brooks react 😂

I truly enjoy your commentary!!!!! Because it's so true!!!!!

Bruce, love your videos and really look forward to hearing your comments and reactions.....Since you asked, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the Idaho student murders; specifically if you've ever had a client that engaged in this type of crime. Would be interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks for all you do. Would love to buy some of your merch, but times are hard these days; plan on getting one of your t-shirts in the near future!

Nice format. :) I'd enjoy longer clips, even if this results in a 30 min vides. Love your content! :)

I love when you react to these! Thank you!!!

More awesome content from Bruce and Michael!

That was a great episode, Bruce

Keep the videos coming. Really interesting

Great Tailor , too... Love your sartorial choices !

That line “ mean mugging” the judge! 😂 love your commentary.

All good stuff. Thank you

I just love listen to you. Such a great personality.

That was exciting! Excellent!

I would love to see you react to the judge in the Larry Nassar case during the victim impact statement… When she read Larry’s letter that he had sent to her complaining about “having to listen to all that!”

Love your suit! Michael Rivers you’ve got great ideas! Keep getting your dad on camera!

I always admire the artwork or painting in your background! It kind of drives ms crazy because I want to see the whole thing!

Love this content!

Love these!

The final story about the large client threatening to jump the prosecutor was extremely funny & well told, but I guarantee you he did not have the faces of his 3 children tattooed on his forearm: this was a bit of strategic misinfo by BR, casually strewn in there to throw off any champion truffle-pigs who may wish to follow a trail. Nice work!

Love this!

Bruce really said lucky for that prosecutor we got an acquittal lol

I am excited for this one

The last one, the father, he made a mistake when he asked ahead of time to get in a room with him. That put everyone on alert. He should have just said "thank you judge", and immediately gouged out that perverts eyes. 🚫🍭💩

Mr. Rivers, I'm a Law Student, I feel like I'm in Law Class. I'm learning so much from you, Mr. Rivers. Which State are you Practicing in?🙇‍♀️🙏🙋‍♀️

Bruce rivers you ROCK! LOVE your show!
