Most prosecutors won't do it as much as the defense lawyers do. In the case of Nancy Brophy, letting her go on and on and on did not work in her favor lol.
The prosecutor is very good. Doesn't argue with the witness, doesn't bully her, lets her answers just sit when they're nonsense, controls the witness, every question is a leading question, saves the ultimate point for closing. Irving Younger would be proud.
@@victrola2007 19:29 when asked “You deleted messages from your iPod, correct?” Ezra responds “I had deleted the app, yes.” “And that deleted all of those text messages, correct?” “Yes, that would do that.” I just can’t shake the notion that phrasing it in this way is her attempt to make this act seem less deliberate. Phrasing it to make it so Ezra had no personal agency in something that might make her look guilty (E.g. “Oh I didn’t delete the MESSAGES” (as one might if they were trying to conceal them or hide something), “I only deleted the APP (which also deleted the messages, oops, but that’s actually not my fault).”
This is so fascinating! She was so chipper and positive when her lawyer questioned her and made her the smartest one in the room. It is so interesting watching her slow descent into realizing she actually does look like a clown in front of the jury. Girl, you’re not smart.
She tried to come across like an intellectual when her lawyer was questioning her - engaging in deep philosophical discussions with Alex and all that 🙄 - but she couldn't even read words like facsimile, aberration, and a third one that I don't remember what it was now. Maybe more. But those are the three that caught my attention. 😄
Here from dreading , seeing her up on the stand gives me Jodi aris vibes . Especially when her lawyer is questioning her. She’s a total psychopath. The other guys are lucky to be alive
She was a bomb with a short fuse. I agree she could’ve just as easily killed someone else or one of the others instead. Trying to understand it, but I guess there’s no rhyme or reason for madness.
Hands-down, she’s Jodi Arias 2.0. Attractive, uses her sexuality as a tool, and is unbelievably good at evading Questions, but this prosecutor is like Juan Martinez with Jodi Arias. nailing her to the wall
It's like she wanted to end the relationship with Alex...yet did not want Alex to move on or date anyone else. I think its absolutely disgusting how she played both Alex and Jason simultaneously, in order to satisfy her fragile sense of self importance. She kept Jason at a fingers length while messing around with Alex. Then wanted to keep Alex at a fingers length while she planned on getting Jason back. I think Alex may have dumped her first, triggering her narcissistic tendencies, therefore she lured him out in the middle of nowhere, under the guise of wanting to have a deep, serious talk, in order to have the ultimate final say. Sick.
Don't know about that... You gotta remember she also banging John and whoever else, and I GUARANTEE Alex and John aren't the only guys Ezra has messed with behind Jason's back.
Bottom line, if what she accused him of, being abusive etc. was true the last thing she would do is go over to his house, up in his bedroom, and then ask him to go out driving in the woods. Only some sort of narcissistic nutjob would believe anyone would buy that.
The text messages indicate that she broke up with him. She told him never to talk to her again, and he didn't. I think it was the fact that he never ran after her, and he chose to move on and try to date someone else.
I know that was so telling! It feels like she’s rolling her eyes like - are you hearing these idiots? DO SOMETHING?! lol love it. Her true colors are on full display. Stone cold killer. I don’t know the outcome but no spoilers! I’m making my way through all the footage and Dreading coverage. I’m on the edge of my seat!!! 😅
been watching Dreading and saw the defense exam of ezra - she seemed so confident and almost smug. Watching the cross exam - wow!! she answers so sheepishly and she looks almost scared to be on the stand. She knows she's going get called out in so many lies. This brings me delight watching her nervous!
It’s brings you delight ? People like you are the weirdest people on earth. You get “delight” out of watching a young girl going to jail for the rest of her life ? And seeing her on the stand ? That’s just so weird, I feel so sorry for you.
She is an unbearably pretentious person. I’ve never seen a brutal killer like her. She sees herself as this intellectual, quirky, free spirit type. She thinks she’s just the most interesting, complex person in the world. She thinks she sees things no one else sees, experiences the world in a way no one else ever has. She thinks she’s irresistible to sensitive, poetic type guys. But that only lasts until the mask falls, and they see what they’re really dealing with. She is an extremely scary person. What she did was animalistic. It’s like she let every hidden, basic instinct loose at once. Just frenzied. I am sure she shrieked, growled, made the most unholy noises during the attack. He didn’t have a chance.
Most people think they’re special until they get exposed eventually. Most humans are trash, and inherently stupid. The actual special ones invent nuclear weapons, or uncover the secrets of the universe.
the fact that he says "betraying" and she/he says "you said portaying, did you mean betraying?" not "i heard portraying, did you mean betraying?" sums up ezra nicely
That's odd that you think that that is something to point out because I would say the same thing if somebody misspoke I would say you said this, did you mean this? Other than that, this girl is a psychopath. But that is not a narcissistic comment
The picture was and the prosecution was allowed to cross examine her on the subject. The judge said he was allowing one picture to be shown and cross examination. Just not displayed for everyone to see. Only the jury was able to view it. Regardless, even without that, she was going to be found guilty. The evidence was overwhelming enough, on top of the fact that she claimed things happened that were proven to be completely fictitious lies, and supports how deviant she is. All goes towards character.
I'll never slam a lawyer that defends the indefensible, however, if it was her idea to have this girl testify, it did nothing but show how deviant she is, how much of a liar she is, and how easy it is for her to put on an act, trying to look and act so innocent and fragile...and the bdsm stuff and secret journal entries did nothing but show how much of a weirdo she really is. She killed Alex all over again here, by trying to defame a dead guy as some horrible abuser with violent tendencies, yet shes here and he's not. Hope she never gets out.
I absolutely LOVE that she almost gave the same excuse cheating husbands give (cliche even) "Sure I had s-e-x with my wife, but it didn't MEAN anything."
I think she was trying to say it wasn’t penetrative? I dunno, that’s what I took from it but I could be wrong. She could have just been being her insufferable self, splitting hairs to avoid answering. Probably the latter.
Her vocabulary is terrible considering she fancies herself some kind of philosopher. She's reading the writings of the guy she killed, supposedly about her, and still needs her attorney to step in and help her. Wow.
12:46 Wow, she's got a totally different vibe now that the prosecution has started. And they started with a bang. She looks so nervous and I'm here for it 😂 Edit: she's answering very quickly and isn't very clear in her speech. This is just the beginning! How awesome 😂 And she keeps glancing at her defense team like "help!" 😂
@@crystalshaw8744 Ha! Dreading just posted a recap/narrative of this cross-examination, and he pointed that out too, her shooting daggers at the defense team. It's even more obvious when you stop the video and replay it as he did while pointing it out.
@@blackblurableOMG, you just reminded me!, like the bird, the “shrike” right? The one that impales, then disembowels its prey, before devouring it? Perfect irony!..😆🤣😂
Man poor Alex seemed to be a genuine and sensitive soul and how she's portraying him as this abusive monster is more than appalling especially after we know how she slaughtered him to death...I don't even have words...
♦️♦️♦️If MONICA JAY TRULY understood, related, & CONNECTED w/Chris McCandless, she would know that at the end of his life, at the LAST MOMENTS he had to ponder life's ultimate meaning, he signed his LAST NOTE TO THE WORLD with his BIRTH NAME, not the name he thought he should create for himself. Meaning, MONICA should have kept her own name and she has NOT honored him by taking HIS
In the courtroom, she gives off that wide-eyed “innocent” vibe like Wendi Adelson. The evidence seems to show she wants to be a victim with that BDSM submission stuff and the love of being strangled. Not sure what that indicates, but I think maybe Alex didn’t want the same thing.
She wanted to sexually please men in her life, that doesn’t mean she wanted that bdsm stuff. It can be interpreted like she did to to have their love and attention. Doing something like that others want you to do usually comes from early childhood abuse
@@Blah115I know what you mean. Just because she’s over the age of 18 doesn’t mean she was an adult. In fact, the human brain doesn’t finish forming until we reach age 25. So, it’s scary that we’re allowed to drive, join military, or any other adult decisions before 25. CA is addressing this very issue of crimes committed by people under 25 with input from forensics psychologists/psychotherapists to determine reasonable sentencing.
Her story is absolutely absurd and makes zero sense. I feel for anyone who fell into her web but just listening to her it's hard to think that anyone would find her honest at all. Alex deserved to live. Ezra decided to kill him because she thought that would cover up her previous lies and nonsense BS. I hope she rots in prison and is taunted by Alex every day for the rest of her miserable life.
Yup! People are saying she couldn't let him move on and no; she wanted Jason back and (this time) when she lied on alex? he wouldn't be alive to tell the truth 😢 she k!lled that poor baby just to keep her lie up
I would love to understand how she was allowed to interpret his meaning when reading his journals, or well anything for that matter. How is that not hear say being she's the defendant, and why is she allowed to create an image of his character based solely on his killers testimony?
@@unapologeticallyamy9031definitely speculation but I think it is hearsay when she is telling the court what he told her that it meant. Just letting the killer relay the meaning “straight from the source” who she murdered in cold blood.
@@unapologeticallyamy9031 no I definitely mean hearsay.. If she's asked to tell the jury what the poem is about, that's speculation. But, her reciting her entire conversations with the victim as her evidence of there meaning, in my opinion is her testifying to a conversation. There's no evidence to support that the things she is saying he told her,.are in fact the way he meant it to be read. Logically I can see where he was going, and I personally think she's wrong, and I don't know how she was allowed to say these things as if they're a statement of fact, when she's the only person alive to retell the story. I think if the journals were going to be allowed in, the jury should have been allowed to take the meaning for themselves and any conversations that the defendant claims took place regarding them should have been hearsay!
They talk about it in another video. It’s only supposed to illustrate Ezra’s beliefs about Alex. She isn’t speaking to the truthfulness of her statements about his writing, if that makes sense.
WoW, she was a real cheatin' type girl! Like the prosecutor said this was a 4-way love triangle. She had Alex, John and Jason all at the same time. I wonder how she thought she was going to be able to juggle all that at one time! Especially since Jason thought they were exclusive.
@@albertjohanssen602 And, i was rewatching one of the side bars outside the presence of the jury and they were talking about her pants, underwear or "down there area" having THREE MALE contributors! Girl, shower! Pretty unusual scenario for such a young girl. Just sayin'. lol
Prosecutor- “ Ma’am-“ EM-“ YES!” Prosecutor-“ Did you-“ EM- “YES!” Prosecutor-“ say you didn’t-“ EM-“ YES!” Prosecutor-“ have sex with-“ EM - “YES!” And so on…. Lord she’s so annoying!
I hope this is better than watching her questioning by the defense lawyer. That was HORRIBLE all the sick lies and salacious lies that Alex's poor family and friends had to hear about him. Just so disgusting.
Hence, why during a *"Cross•Exam"* 'Leading' CAN Take place . . . THIS; In order to solely *extract* *"Yes/No"* Responses! She was 'Given' *wide* leeway On --> *Direct;* To *'Paint'* the picture she WANTED NTM, *"Sully•Up"* the Victim To HER *Detriment!* ⚖️ x
That old Ezra though. I think that she STILL doesn’t realize what a trifler she actually is. People need to start laughing directly in these persons’ faces more. Had everyone treated her like the clown she is, she’d be ashamed of being a clown. But there’s always a line of simps waiting there, prepared to pretend to take her seriously.
This story is so crazy that it should be made into a movie. This woman came into Jasons life like a Hurricane and destroyed everything in her path. Just watching this case gave me trust issues
Crazy that she caused all this misery and drama to herself and those men. Killed Alex and really thought she was “smart” enough to get away with murder. What the hell did they see in her? Even if she was pretending to be someone else. Weirdo and weird ass energy. I wish people would not ignore red flags.
Agree! And for someone who saw herself as an intellectual and a writer…a bohemian and free spirit…she sure had trouble with her reading comprehension. She had so many fluency issues (and she could have a learning disability such as dyslexia, and I’m not poking fun at anyone with a learning challenge at ALL) but she came across as a total dimwit. Totally wrecked any impression the jury may have had of her level of intelligence. She is a snake and a liar (no offense to snakes) and I pray she gets locked up for whatever is left of her miserable life!
How could her parents have missed a budding psychopath at the table? So many, "Failure To Launch" young adults killing their parents for cutting them off.
She said that she wanted to see Alex in person because she "wanted to EXPRESS her FEELINGS TO HIM." And she did. She expressed her feelings to him... 16 times.
This channel should have so many more than 34+ thousand subscribers! Share, share, share! I love the fact there is no commentary. It’s just straight up trial/interrogations! Thank you, Rottweiler investigations.✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿💯💯💯
🤣🤣🤣 Me too! Im too excited to wait for the cross. I thought this was gonna be some huge channel. When I saw that it"s actually relatively small, I made it a point to sub too.
This defense attorney is a living, breathing objection. Doesn’t bode well for your client when you object to everything the State asks. Means their case is probably a pretty strong one… the continual glances toward her defense attorney is also a pretty strong indicator that she is guilty af.
And Jesus did she leave this poor guy with ONE friend she didn't sleep with. I don't shut shame, girls go get yours, but how about respect the guy who is literally saving ur sorry but from sleeping under a bridge, unbelievable !!!
She should have never testified, not because it would help her case but jus for the defense to avoid embarrassment. Although im glad she did testified hahah
She's a narcissist: of course she wanted to testify lol. She needed to try and sell her version of the truth too. I'm glad the jury saw through her lies. I'm upset she's allowed social media access and able to sell her paintings to help fund her appeals. I'm glad the original one was denied but now she's appealed state level. Meanwhile her FB has her complaining about the food, and her Insta has her paintings for sale up with hashtags #me and #freedom and #justice 😂 So gross.
My overall impression as I watch videos about McCandless is: RED FLAGS! Don't put yourself through the potential misery of dealing with someone who is unstable. You don't want to end up like any of the guys in this situation, especially Alex Woodworth.
@@TheMary0831 I have since learned a lot more about Jason, from the trial videos and also from the Wisconsin Circuit Court records. I now believe Ezra was manipulated by Jason and I have zero sympathy for him. I believe if not for him Alex would still be alive.
@@musicloverchicago437 She still did the deed, sorry. Lots of people are manipulated by their significant others. She had 2 affairs with Jason's buddies. Jason didn't make her do that. Even if he's a clueless scumbag, there is no way you can pin Alex's murder on Jason, especially if Ezra herself has never implicated him.
@@TheMary0831 I didn't say Jason made her kill Alex and I didn't say Jason should be accused of murder or any other crime. I believe Jason was manipulative and drove her to gross instability. I think Ezra should be guilty of second degree murder, not first. I believe that if Jason had left her alone instead of putting her on an emotional relationship rollercoaster Alex would be alive today. Check the Wisconsin court records.
@@musicloverchicago437 You are here to start stupid arguments based on "could have/would have" which is idiotic, so I won't be engaging further. Go troll someone else.
WHY can’t the state argue her claims of SA were/are false?! Doesn’t that seem ridiculous?! Do you think that If a man claimed the same defense, they’d disallow the state from calling his claims false?! Especially in this case, wouldn’t that fact/lie be extremely important? 🤦♂️ c’mon man!
I know this is a very serious and sad case, and my heart goes out to Alex's friends and family, but watching that grey-haired prosecutor read those sexually explicit texts in court with a straight face made me laugh. Does that make me a bad person?
She was so confident when answering questions from her attorney and she was trying to win an Academy Award of acting. Is so weird at sentencing she went back to a masculine look. The defense direct questioning was so much of irrelevant points.
@Feverm00n she wasn’t in prisons before sentencing, she was in jail. Anyway, she was in jail for years prior to her trial. Cutting it right after jury trial indicated she was growing it out to appear more sweet and feminine for them (jury).
@@ocruz4013 nothing like a post adolescent, narcissistic psychopath to grate on the nerves. Her pretentious writing made me cringe harder than anything in recent memory. I’m glad she’s been put away, for Alex‘s sake, but also for any man she would have potentially ruined with her lies.
She even lied about her height 5'2" rather than 5'6" reality and said she was only 115llbs when she was actually 130lb. Weight is one thing but height !? What a liar.
I don't know how the defense attorney got through her cross examination without the prosecutors pointing out that every single question (almost) was leading.
The unmitigated GALL to argue that The JURY - the finders of fact - NOT be shown EVIDENCE, That council brought up* to show how; emancipated, don't judge me, i'm free he/she is.
This girl took advantage of a good man. A combat medic who is forgiving to a fault. God bless this dude I hope he finds a good woman and isn’t plagued by paranoia after dealing with this hyper-succubus demon.
She has a grandiose sense of self, manipulating narcissist, she thinks she's smarter than everyone, Jodi Arias vibes, psychopath, used everyone she could, she is a fake person, no real sense of self, she could separate herself from her crime without conscience, just justification, this poor man must have been screaming, life in prison was the only answer, people like her cannot be rehabilitated
Why is the defense attorney allowed to shout out questions or Yell out comments to the court without saying or having a legitimate objection? She is a disgrace! I would have held her in contempt for her barbaric behavior alone! The way she cuts off the judge whilst the judge is speaking and shouting objections down to the last minute of sentencing it’s outrageous! I would never hire her as an attorney. The jury would find me guilty just because they couldn’t stand the sight and sound of her!
@@3dsmaxrocks699 I know her mother sits behind defense against the wall with her exhusband. She is thin with dark brown hair and usually sits two rows behind the defense attorneys.interestngly Ezras mother became pregnant with Ezra at age 13 (thirteen) so Ezras mother is almost in the same peer group as Ezra !Ezras father is the same age or younger by a year or two as Ezras “ANCIENT” love, Jason. In the sentencing videos as well as well as closing argument videos and Victim Impact her mother is seen rolling her eyes ,making disgustinly disrespectful faces at Alex’s family members!.Ezras mom is a real class act 🤮I know where Ezra gets her narcissistic attitude from.
Does anyone else think that jason and ezras dirty talk for lack of a better word is cheesy af. Cmon. An ancient love that scares them both? Or am i just not a romantic
17:39 dude are you fucking kidding me, she uses alex to try and get over jason while living with him still and not paying rent, realizes he is an obstacle between herself and jason so she decides to kill him. what a c you next tuesday.
Did she steal her wardrobe from the costume department of stranger things? Lol she never dressed like this before court. Who's bright idea was that. This girl's emotions were all over the place in those private messages and journal writings. I kind of feel as though she was killing him all over again, after indirectly implying he attempted to ()ape her, when we all know she lured him out there alone under the guise of wanting to have some deep talk. Surprised her defense attorney actually thought that was the best recourse to take as a defense. It was a horrible idea. She should have just plead guilty and begged for mercy. Bet she would have gotten a way lesser sentence then putting everyone through this circus act.
she appears to have taken the person of former witness Jenna Vandezande or some untainted Persephonic ingenue who just got wrapped up with these dark Hades-like figures when they stole away her innocence…sooo bizarre. And her “interpretations” aren’t even accurate to what is clearly written on the paper, very cringey. I don’t think a narcissist like her would plead guilty…she really thought she was going home after this. Also - nice handle. From homage to “Perfume”?
With all respect to Alex, I'm genuinely suprised Ezra didn't go with the defense of saying Alex wanted her to kill him because he was suicidal and couldn't do it himself... like with his history with depression, it could've actually been a more plausible theory than the bullshit she came up with!
I've thought about this to - but then she's still up for manslaughter. And it's also why assisted suicide is a crime (even if you're truly helping a suffering end - Because everyone would end up saying I swear they wanted me to do that. And she wants to be freeeee to Git the old "inandout", she'll be happy 😊 where she's at. Endless drama & twisting in the pen.
Adter listening to her testimony, it is absolutely satisfying to know she is in prison for at least 50 years. That is a very long time; however, I think she would have raken vengeance on anyone who testified against her. Most narcissists don't change no matter how old they get.
So she couldn't send a pic of a model to ahow him the type of picture? Ok girl... stop, that picture was no different than a cat in heat showing off her tail !
