McNabb and Bell trial | Day 1 

Hope he got custody of the older granddaughter.

Stop 5G he did 👍🏻

@@spiritwalker9903 He certainly seems to be a good father/grandfather. In saying that- I'm thinking he lives with his mom and dad (the great grand parents) I'm sure they played a big part in raising Courtney and taking care of hers. That was evident when he didnt know anything about them taking Courtney and the baby to babies 1st Dr. appt. that Thursday! If truth be known- they are probably the real heroes! Just saying.

@@enlightened1wright928 good son as well. it seems he was just all around care taker..hope his grief has softened and doesn't have that parental guilt..

@@enlightened1wright928 not necessarily... I mean, Courtney is a grown woman... Dad sorted her a place to stay, got her a car, paid her rent sometimes... Come on man be fair... Just because he didn't know that one thing... If you were saying he doesn't know his granddaughters date of birth, I wouldn't quite say I understand, cus he's still a present dad/grandad, but I'd be like hhmmm, but at this point your being a little harsh.... I mean, her heard word his grandchildren were basically dumped at a family members house, and he went over there and got them... Keep in mind, he said he had to load his mother up in the car because she's handicapped... So that would say to me that your wrong, he's the hero and not his parents because he obviously has to look after his mom as well... Are you listening to what's being said

Yup. Most parents would be reacting completely differently than the way these two reacted. I don't believe their BS for a second.

Girl me too. I'd be like a wild animal searching and screaming.

"Heaven," but yeah, same.

Yesssss they would have to sedate me I’d go crazy

Exactly!

100%!!! My heart breaks for this man!!

I’m look at Chris if you want to point out anything about look ,

seems sad that there is not a program or facility where parents/mothers of unwanted babies can leave the baby! I bet there would be less murdered infants!

Chris didn't do it she did

@@michelleklein4843 neither one did it…there’s No evidence

Yes. I kept searching for inauthenticities and holes in his representation of himself, but kept getting the opposite. I think he's the real deal, God bless him. (And I'm a total cynic and sceptic about people.)

Number 1 give away. Meth does a body good. pffft. Dumb asses.

Can you timestamp bra? I can’t do the whole thing

@@kaismith9878 1 hour 13 minutes

Dillon C not what he was talking about it’s at 49 minutes the one at 1 hour 13 minutes wasn’t the murder it was her dad did you even watch the video?

Which person made the 911 call. There are more than one. Can you timestamp it?

Right

Sorry. But depending on the laws of the Defendant's State, had she made a visit to Planned Parenthood about three weeks earlier, neither of them would be sitting there.

Cerulean Cerulean But she didn’t. And a newborn is dead. Even though I personally think late term abortion is murder as well

No. As a parent myself I just can't wrap my head around it...🥺 Evil parents. Abortion after 18 weeks are strictly forbidden in my country, unless the mothers life is in danger. Late time abortion is murder. Period.

It’s like the worst thing that could even possibly enter someone’s mind. Defenseless child. It’s the worst of the worst. I believe in public executions for these crimes!

HAHAHA right!?

The death of a child.

Sounds like it could be a sitcom 🤣😂

And the defense lawyer trying to pretend courtney and chris might not have known til after the relationship started.... which is possible if she didn’t know who her mom was but regardless say that’s true once finding out they are cousins it would disgust me too much to continue it🤦‍♀️

🤣

Thanks for doing this

You must have your own podcast your taking notes for? This is a lot of work to do for others.. THANK YOU for doing it

Thank you soooo much. Much easier to navigate the testimonials 👏👏

Thank you for this, so so so helpful.

You the real MVP.

Stefanie R he seems like a good sincere guy. I’m sure his heart is broken. I’m glad the older child is with him. Sad he had to raise Courtney without a mom and now her child.

@@pinkgorilla99 I love your name. LOL. You're right, though. He has gone through Hell, without a doubt, because of the choices his daughter made.....partly due to the choices her so-called "mother" (egg donor) made in refusing to be part of Cortney's life. Tim did his damndest, but a woman needs a female role model to emulate when they become mothers themselves. Instead, Pam Hamby took the easy way out and dumped her kids off on anyone who'd have them. Tim was a responsible man......but as much as he loves his grandkids, he shouldn't have had to be shouldered with raising both Cortney and now her own child. The man should be able to enjoy and relax at this point in life. But, at least Clarissa isn't stuck in the foster care system, which can be almost as dangerous and neglectful as leaving the child with the original parents.

Seems like the business part wasn't really his choice.

Bc from the looks of it no one else did. She shouldn't of been having babies bc she didn't have a mother. How could she ever be one?! She got a good dad with the grandkids but that girl was raised seeing some messed up things, clearly. She had 2 kids with her first cousin. Straight trash

His testimony was quite fair the way he answered questions. He gave the straight truth he wasn’t trying to help out his daughter but he also wasn’t attacking her either. Seems like a good man like you said

Revee Biller sounds like it was he that really did for those kids, not the parents. He bought everything. Maybe he enabled her a bit too much.

@@pommiebears unfortunately, you're probably right. He could have put his foot down, and enforce tough love.... You know it's eating at him now..... I feel so bad for this guy.....

firemanjim324 I feel bad for him too. It’s a harsh lesson for him. You can see he loved the children. He has the other one I believe.

You mean the grandpa/great uncle. The parents are first cousins which means the grandpa's sister is the grandmother too. Think about that for a moment. This awesome grandpa raised Cortney and enabled her bad behavior, he's part of the problem...

@@lisettedevars9423Did you watch the video prior to commenting? They are not related on her father's side... Cortney's mother and Chris' dad are siblings

I like the way he talks.

I hate that!!

Agreed. Very unnecessary. That young woman was obviously shaken and upset. The way she was treated and talked down to only made it more difficult for her. She seems very sweet.

i agree also and whats worse is the damn judge is also being rude and he keeps on interrupting during the testimony which is highly unusual. After that woman threatened her with perjury charges, i wouldnt have said another damn word. they wouldve just had to lock me up. theyre being hostile to most of the witnesses and being so anal over trivial details that have no bearing on the case at all. All that shit about property easements and debris on the ground and airial photos is stupid to

Jennifer true!

Jennifer I agree. I’d be uncomfortable to be in that situation but I understand the need to put witnesses under a little bit of pressure to get a good testimony.

I know! Hypocrisy at its best. Totally unfair especially when they should know she is nervous being there doing what she’s doing to HELP. They’re treating her badly and she doesn’t deserve it.

This judge is Crazy

This judge is a complete and utter jerk!!

I noticed that too.

Ditto ❤️ He’s a very honorable & respectable man in my eyes. He has a very big heart & he deserves some light at the end of this horribly dark long tunnel

I love the way he speaks; his accent and dialect. 🙂

I wonder who ended up with custody of the 2-year-old at the time? Hopefully the grandfather

@Call me Caitlyn I'm speaking of mother's who have the child in their care, not at a hospital. I was a light sleeper when my kids were that small. I could feel and hear their every move.

Whitney Barner full of drugs that’s how

@@balloonqueen9255 Yep every little cough or sneeze I jump up to check if they are ok. Plus why such a young baby wasn't in a bassinet next to the mom's bed? A baby that small, they feed very often.

@@karenepps2882 and that is my next concern. Why is your newborn baby asleep in a separate room with a two year old at that! SMH. Just poor parenting all the way around..

@@balloonqueen9255 true some people should never have kids. There are so many couples who are capable to care for a child but are struggling to conceive and you have these who pop them out like mice with little regard for them...so sad.

I was going to type something just like this. But this comment said it all. He truly tries and out others before himself. He’s a good person with a good soul and he deserves someone to look after him for once. ❤️ I hope he finds peace.

This guy seems amazing.

I agree, he is an example of a father/grandfather who tried his damnest in giving his daughter chances to better herself and better the surroundings for her children. Sadly it didnt go in the direction it should have but that man tried harder than alot of others, god bless him.

It just seems everything went awry and this poor guy tried his best while being run ragged ...I am giving him thumbs up in the dedication department 💕✌✌

@@jcmore7971 Absolutely!! Hopefully he can find a little patch of peace and go to bed everynight knowing he did the best he could as a father/grandfather

Excuse you? Take the meth out Lol

@@MicheleNugent68 huh?

@@WarandFlame : the first part and second is accurate to some extent, but not the meth.

@@MicheleNugent68 I'm in the south there is METH EVERYWHERE. Take it from someone raised in Michigan. There is 40x more meth use in the southern United States. I don't know where you live

i'm not taking up for them at all, but they were related by marriage not by blood

I know I wouldn't feel comfortable giving out my address. Even if they were going to bleep it out.people can lip read.alot of personal information comes out in court.scary.

He was really smart to object. Poor guy.

Lol

@Christopher Marlowe y

Christopher Marlowe the grandpa deserves what???

Lmfao! I was like “wait , did I miss something. Who are they calling for.”

“They” could be a lot of people 😆 idk how many times she has to be told to stop saying they.

@@brandonstephens1447 the attorney keeps refering to them as " they" as well.

Mandy i was thinking the same thing.. Like yo mom im down in the bottom of this tote full of clothes you keep talking about.. LOL.. stupid ass people..

@Carl's Brother Yoy have babies so you're an expert, right?

This is old, well a few months ago but I too have two years of sobriety. I would never hurt my child I can't even imagine shaking or hitting a child or baby. This case is crazy though I don't know which one is more guilty maybe that will someday come to light. They both deserve to rot but I'm not sure what happened and there's not a lot of evidence. They were bad people and a lot of people try to blame it on drugs and I don't believe it's drugs. Yes drugs make you not always act yourself but it doesn't make you into an evil monster who would hurt a child or kid. Bless you I just wanted to comment because I do have had drug issues and have years of sobriety and my daughter comes first over anything! I'm happy to be sober and least I can love my child unlike these parents could do. And I would never want her to be harmed in any way nor would I protect a man if he was guilty of hurting my child

Well done 👏🏾

@@hannah3146 Congratulations on your sobriety and on putting the welfare of your daughter first. Like yourself I don't think substance use disorder is the cause of adults, particularly parents, abusing let alone murdering a child. Correlation is not causation and many parents who abuse their children and/or minors in their care are not taking substances while there are many parents who (ab)use drugs but do not abuse their children. To date the common denominator with parents who abuse children has been regarded by researchers as a mix of issues including personality and sometimes mood disorders - Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) and NPD are the most common PDs seen with abusive parents - as well as gender issues; i.e. frequently, abused children have a biological father or a stepfather who is in their late teens or twenties, is emotionally immature, and who is controlling and possessive of any partners and resents anything that takes the woman's attention away from them - and children do require a lot of attention. We see such father's who are immature, emotionally labile, and have a nasty tendency to lash out in both physically and verbally abusive ways. When a young child ends up with father like that the risk of injury if not death goes up exponentially. In such cases the mother tends to be far too focused on pleasing a male partner than she is on her child's welfare leading to her putting any children in danger by remaining with an unstable man. There are other factors that contribute to a parent harming a child but there's not enough space in a comment on RU-vid to do justice to these. It is the case though that substance use alone is not the cause of a parent abusing a child.

Congratulations!

None Ya that is an absolute joke that the “mother” called out the 2 week old baby’s name. Anyways, I thought she initially said her other daughter told her the baby was gone. Moments later, she said the baby’s dad told her the baby was not in there. Contradictions already.

@@michellededmon5045 Not only that, who goes to the woods to look for a missing infant? A guilty person. Cortney was an accessory to the fact. Both should hang!

DERRANGEGED!!!!!!

Or calling her like a lost dog that's gonna run home.

Agree!

I would be screaming out of my mind

Insanely when she's looking for the baby then she calls the cops on the body count she's to calm there too I would be hysterical and it being hard to contain me

What time is that

In a Nutshell!

I'd of been like is there a return policy on my dumba** daughter ...what a mess she is

He created her. He spent her entire life giving her whatever she wanted and never holding her responsible for anything. This is the kind of person you create when u do that. Giving kids whatever they want, constantly babying them, and never giving them consequences doesnt create strong, stable adults. It creates entitled brats that are going to make a mess of their life. She never felt the need to change her life bc she didn't have to. Even b4 she was arrested she refused to go to rehab to get the 2 year old back bc her dad was going to get the kid from CPS for her. You think he would've followed the rules and kept her away? No. She could've continued to do what she wanted and occasionally pop up to play mommy. Her dad had already been practically raising the 2 year old. When ever she wanted to throw a tantrum to get her way she would take the kid and dump her with another family member. She was doing the same with caliyah. The time we hear about in court was bc he took the car back bc she kept getting in trouble. She knew she could throw a tantrum and get the car back so she took the kids from her dad and dumped them with another family member. He was enabling this unstable situation bc he had to give her whatever she wanted. He didn't check in on the kids the whole time he thought they were with her. He didn't even know they weren't with her for days until someone else told him. It was over a week that he didn't know where they were or checked on them even tho he knew they were with violent, drug addicted parents. Would u go over a week not checking on your grandchild that was in that situation? I wouldnt and most grandparents wouldn't. It wasn't about the kids. It was about keeping his daughter happy. He got the 2 year old from CPS for Courtney. They didn't know she was going to be charged at the time. They thought Chris would be the only one and Courtney would get another pass. They never expected her to be held responsible for the role she played. His testimony was making sure to blame Chris for Courtney's actions.

@@lolasmom5816he raised her on his own with zero help from her junkie mother (she didn’t even know who her mother was until she was 12). I think he did his best. He was caring for his disabled parents, working full time and taking care of the two year old most of her life. When Courtney was being a scumbag and doing drugs he took the car and the kids. He tried to make her leave Chris and he insisted she clean her trailer up before he’d let her take the children back home. Im sure he felt like if he took support away from his daughter then the children would suffer.

My first husband was abusive. He was terrified of my dad, because my dad is a great big guy. They’re happy bashing women who can’t effectively defend themselves, but if a real man comes along, they like chickens....running away.

That's how most.men who beat women are. My ex was the same way. Would beat the ever loving shit outta me for not being able to match up the mileage on the vehicle with places I'd been but if a man stood up to him he'd run away with his tail between his legs. I mean had LITERALLY hid underneath a vehicle before. A snowflake on the verge of melting.

Get in your spot behind the tree Chris!! 😂😂

Tammy Blocker no, neither did I come to think of it. I distinctly remember not taking either of mine out for at least two weeks. That was advice from the hospital. They left this baby with all and sundry. I just wanted to hold and cuddle. I’d never have left my newborns with ANYONE when they were so small. I barely ever left them when they were older. That was because I didn’t have to though.

Right! I had my kids in 94 and 98 and the doctors told me to keep them in the house for a month, for the most part, to build up their immune system.

I'm with you I was so scared of germs & strangers wanting to touch my daughter I waited until she was so least 1 month almost 2,besides her pediatrician appointments:)I just will never comprehend how any mother can act like this?Its not in my heart to judge ,but situations like this make it really hard sometimes.

Same, my daughter is four and she’s never even stayed the night without me, ever.

@@aprilcervantes7784 so true I didn't take my daughter's out for a month except the Dr appt

I read this as "crack bar" but clearly its just more accurate

I kept listening to this, wondering if he meant what he said... It sounds like an old west stand off.

Thank you, exactly what I was going to say!! I probably would have cried, sworn, and walked out! So rude, so mean, he's a bully!

They’re just as bad, they saw stuff and knew stuff that was happening in their home with an infant and child. Knew they did meth, taught, beat people up in the home. THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE!

I guess bc it’s suck a small town. Everyone knows everyone so a judge might feel like the most powerful person living there. “You’re HONOR, not ours” LOL.

I agree!! I think judges have too much power. They think they can talk to anyone however they want. I can’t believe they hit her cousin w a misdemeanor charge too like the lady is here just trying to do her best to tell what she knows. The judge should have been kinder to her over the “they” thing too.

Yeah he needs to retire

Agree. My daughter is four now and I never left her until I had to go back to work. Even then she was with my hubby. We work opposite shifts so she is with one of us.

The father said the baby was only with her parents 4 or 5 days in the 9 days after she was released from the hospital which means half of her life....

Garnet Curry a mother that needs meth, clearly that’s who

I had a neighbor who had to leave her 4day old baby with me bc she hemorrhaged. So I believe hospitalization is one of the only reasons for that. I do know women who had to go back to work before 6 weeks unfortunately bc they don’t get maternity leave pay and can’t afford not to work. Getting high or going to find drugs isn’t a good enough reason ever. If you wanna be like that don’t have children.

When my son was 18 months old, my father wanted to take him on vacation for 10 days. I said hell no! I did not want to be away from him. He is a grown man now and I can never wait to see him. I agree with you 100 percent!

Yea exactly. It doesn’t get much worse than this. Drugs are the epitome of all things evil. My childhood wasn’t one of the best but by far better than anything remotely close to this.

I made sure my girls had a safe loving home. Its what you do!!

As a parent, i bet your mother and father would love to hear you say this!!

I wish I had .. it must be so nice to have a family to Love an have them love you..

Hey I totally agree. Watching this makes me hug my 8 year old dearly.

Some of these judges seriously let the power get to their head. Then they start acting like this and then they give themselves a bad reputation and hopefully get removed from the bench. This man has Right to be sitting on the bench. He's a prick

Yes! He treats the witnesses like they are the ones on trial. I felt bad for Megan Sorrell for the way she was treated so horribly for not saying things “perfectly”. What a jerk. Worst judge I’ve seen.

I agree!!!!!

I felt bad for Megan she was so on edge and was saying “they” constantly from nerves. He did not have to go that hard on her and you could see her progressively getting more anxious each time he gave out to her

I agree how rude is he to the witnesses who clearly are nervous Ans traumatized

Same for me too love, makes me so upset that these monsters who kill their babies didn’t even deserve them, I’m sure they had those babies to get free food stamps and welfare money to support their drug habits.

Adopt! #Antinatalism

@@purplemonsoon8376 I already foster. I've had 2 kids 4 almost 5 years. 😊 But it's not that simple. My heart aches for someone who can't be taken away from us, as fostering is always uncertain. And adopting in my country is super expensive. Adopting from foster care rarely happens. Anyway, my life is full even if a baby never comes along.

@@Hnzuu I tried for years and could not give my daughter a sibling! About a year ago I found out I was pregnant and praised the lord! Then I had a miscarriage literally as I was praying. This hurts on another level because these people have children so easily yet they cannot take care of them. I think people that relate to me or cannot have any kids at all can relate. It's just the whole another level that we cannot understand because we would love even this baby but instead horrible things happen. They could have give the given the baby up or something! I'm not sure which one is guilty but they both deserve to rot and I don't understand how anybody could do this to a child let alone a newborn! I would kill somebody if they hurt my child. So I can't imagine how somebody could willingly do this to their own! It does hurt on a new different level than other people that are blessed to have children. I know that I'm blessed that I have my daughter but it devastated me that I could not give her a sibling no matter how hard I tried and I'm only 30! Anyways bless and have a good holiday

It seems so unfair

Annie B he wanna be gangsta so bad. That meth a powerful drug!!

LMFAO...sorry I know this isn't funny

This isn't supposed to be funny, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I read this!!

I don’t see how anyone could speak badly about the dad. He was taking care of everyone!

I agree Tim was awesome I couldn’t get my dad to buy me a happy meal either nevertheless take care of my kids

Me too!! The Groves prosecutors were hard core!!

Or the Rosenbaums prosecutor... She was a beast and is a "don't take no bullshit and don't lie to me or you'll regret ever living" type of prosecutor. She was amazing in that trial and I'm not surprised she won at all. She gave the voice back to that baby.

the Groves prosecutor was like a caged tiger that had escaped & went straight for the jugular. Brilliant prosecutor

I was thinking the same thing! Even the judge, with the Groves trial everything seemed to run smoothly

The Groves prosecutors and the Rosenbaum prosecutors are the best I’ve seen to date. They both fought so hard for the babies they were representing and got justice.

Who's father?

@@TnAngelii Courtney Bell's

@@lizhawkins4240 thought you meant the daddy of the baby...

@@TnAngelii No, definitely not! 😬

Her father is a fucking idiot and I feel like its just as much his fault. The guy has the intelligence of a fucking grain of salt. People like him should never have had children. His daughter is a drug using fat pig and I'm sure he was a drug user when he was younger as well. Courtney Bell learned everything about living from where she was raised. He obviously didn't do his best as a father to lead her in the right direction and it doesn't help that her mother just disappeared from her life. These back woods inbred losers should never be allowed to contaminate the rest of the world with their offspring.

MN WM the call with the operator about the car tells everything! see how willing she is to lie and how calm same shit with her newborn daughter

She knew how to use her kids as a weapon against others. She knew the police had to side with her. Thankfully she got a smart cop that talked her into letting the dad get them. All it was about for her was the car anyway. Family doesn't want to say it but the only reason she had gotten the kids from her dad and taken them to the cousin was bc she was throwing a tantrum over the car. Grandpa had been raising the 2 year old but Courtney would take her when she wanted to force him to give in to her the rare event he told her no about something. She started the same game with caliyah as soon as she was born. She wasn't going to tend to her kids for long tho so that's why they were dumped on the cousin. She was using the cops to stop grandpa from getting the kids bc she needed to keep the kids away until he agreed to give the car back. She knew she had to make her play that day tho so flat out asked for the car in exchange for the kids. They want to act like she wasn't trading her kids but she was. They were her lil pawns to use against people. When she finally ended up in a situation of having to care for her kids her baby ends up dead. She had only had caliyah a couple days of her life.

Not at all. He has to keep the trial moving forward and mitigate any anything that would confuse the jury . As it goes compared to other judges he's rather tame.

The witness is a nervous wreck. She's about to jump out her skin.

Lynn Marie so that’s what the blood tests were for? My husband and I had one before we got married, and I thought it was to see if you were healthy.🥴 good to know. Thanks:)

I didn't realize that. Makes sense.

Lynn Marie certainly still should!!!!

But they were never married

Was the 1st child his 2

Fuckkkkkkd up

So true. I think public speaking in general is a totally different thing in theory than in practice.

Same! I was in a very custody trial for children of family members. I got so nervous and frustrated I snapped and said something that made the entire court gasp. 🤷‍♀️

I think they really wanted her cousin to testify against her but they couldn't really get her to because she knew that her cousin wasn't the one that did that to the baby and she was really there to just testify to the fact that she had her kids a lot and that Chris beat on her all the time.

So true! my mom had a man stalking her and I had to testify against him I was 13 and cried like a baby it’s scary

Ansel’s Dad don’t they give a wonderful impression of the defendant? Did you notice that they’re actually first cousins too? Lovely!

did you see tears?i didn't

oh and the D.A. is now the superior court Judge here and Im telling you she is the exact same way and i say that as logically as possible like no joke. i feel so unsafe in this county and i have NO criminal record!!!

He's pissed off about the situation.

I agree. He is rude to the witnesses. I don’t like him

he is running his courtroom as he sees fit.he wants justice for this little girl!

@@pamelafulks582 Possibly. A rude and unprofessional tone isn’t getting justice for her. It’s not the Judges place to “get justice” anyway.

His voice is similar to the old guy in the Original Jurassic Park movie, the grandpa

If only it worked that way.

And THAT would be THE ONLY WAY we'd ever end senseless murder.

In the same cold blooded way they murder

This defies the laws of life, but if God allowed other I would bring back a lot one if they were murdered

Then the deceased comes back and says, "Wtf that's not who killed me!" 🤣 I like the sentiment though lol.

Heather Mitchell he very obviously loves his grandchildren. Seems he provided for them, not the parents. He bought them everything. Maybe he enabled his daughter a bit too much, but I understand why if he was looking out for his grandchildren. Poor man must be gutted.

I dont give him much of a pass. He created her and continued to enable her while he knew she was putting the kids in a bad situation. He had the kids but gave them back to her more than once. He didn't check on the babies for over a week and didn't know they weren't with the parents. He just stayed on stand by ready to make sure Courtney was always covered and had what she wanted. He never involved CPS when Courtney would throw a tantrum and take the kids. This started long before the baby was born. She had been doing it for 2 years with the other child. Her dad would always have the child and let Courtney take her every time she wanted to throw a tantrum. He knew the situation was unstable and dangerous but he did nothing to stop her. He had both kids but willingly gave them back to her while clearly seeing she was drugged up. He got the 2 year old from CPS for Courtney. She was told to go to rehab, this was after the babys death, and they would give the 2 year old back. She refused and her dad got the 2 year old for her. You think he would've followed the rule and kept her away? No, he wouldn't have. He would've let her go right back to her games with no consequences. Her being charged and convicted is the only thing that has saved the 2 year old from her bc no one else was going to do it.

How are we supposed to know who Megan is talking about if she doesn’t use their names. It’s not hard if you are telling the truth

Late watching, but the disrespectful way he’s speaking to people. Then he just takes over the attorneys jobs, which is disrespectful.

❤

Chantel Monet exactly I would have loved having her, my husband and I have been trying for a baby for 8 months now, we do have 2 boys 12yrs old and 7 yrs old, it took us 3 years and 2 miscarriages one with a D&C to get our 7year old. Some people are so lucky but don’t realize how blessed and lucky they are and choose drugs over their babies. I would never do that, my babies have always came first and always will. I’d do anything (almost anything) to have more children to get pregnant.

@@keeshamaney0 Aw Keesha. It's just tragic that someone like you would have to suffer through miscarriages and want nothing more than another child to treasure. And then you see a mother like her, I actually hate calling Cortney Bell a mother. She had a precious gift and she squandered it at the very least. So hard to fathom. I'll say a prayer for you! I just had my 4th boy 9 months ago! I treasure each moment of every day with my boys, and would still love a girl someday.

Chantel Monet I was blessed with two children, grown men now. I would happily take a baby. I unfortunately have epilepsy though, and obviously this means I am not a good candidate for fostering or adopting. Yet, my two sons are healthy, happy, constructive members of society who have never been a problem. People like this can have children and are clearly incapable of parenting a hamster. Life is unfair. Shame it seems to be very unfair to those who cannot defend themselves.

Agreed my husband and I cant have children we would have loved to take in that beautiful baby.

kohlanndesigns co she liked her drugs more

It’s so messed up! They just wanted to get high & didn’t care. My grandson is 6 months and my daughter still won’t be away from him for more than a few hours.

That should be the first sign that the "mother" is not bonding and that something is wrong. Anyone who knows me says I was stingy for the first four months with my baby. I wouldn't let anyone help me with her, i wouldn't let her out of my sight, she went everywhere with me, i kept her 24/7 until i came back to work and then for four more months i called multiple times a day to make sure she was good (and i trust the person who baby sits her fully but still called a million times a day.) There is NO WAY i'd drop my baby off with anyone now (and she's now a year old) let alone when she was first born...

@@MotherofDragons937 Mine will be a year in two weeks, and she has yet to be away from me unless i'm at work.

@@natashadefoe7035 that’s good, I was the same with my kids and now my grandson is lucky because my daughter works from home so he is with her all the time. I come to her house every Friday to take care of him for her. She lives 2 hours from me. I love that I have enough days off from work to be able to spend this time with him. I cannot understand how this “mother” could leave her newborn at all, let alone for days. This poor baby 😢

It depends on if it is clear who the person is talking about when the witness say “they”. The poor cousin was confused herself about who was factually present or who “they” was when she met with the prosecutor a few days before the trial started (as the office people told her someone else could have been present). The witness figured out AFTER her interview but before the trial she had to disregard the information from the office because she didn’t actually See that third person- as it was hearsay not fact that third person was present. However had not been able to clarify this with the prosecutor let alone on the record before the trial. So the prosecutor needed to a. Understand and b. clarify WHO was factually there as the information given previously given was different. The prosecutor was having problems doing this so the judge stepped in and did a better nicer job clearing up (by just asking for the “they” clarification) of getting fact not hearsay. This was to help the witness tell only facts so she could clean up her statements given before and not purger herself. They were trying to be nice but looked rude.

Because the jury needs to hear their names very specifically. It can confuse them. The judge wants the information transmitted clearly.

They are usually jerks to the witnesses on opposing side. As a juror it just pissed me off. It was so unnecessary.

Thank you they're rude

Bc his words aren't the ones that matter. A witness has to be very clear with what they say. Their words will be picked apart later.

Yes! A conscious decision to be nothing in life. Given up on any hopes and dreams. “Well, I was born into poverty might as well embrace it!” This learned helplessness is destroying the world. No one is encouraging anyone’s dreams anymore. Parents are pissed they didn’t make it, so they make sure their kids don’t either. I’ll be DAMNED if I make anyone feel like they can’t make their dreams come true; no matter what the age.

@@rhollowaybusiness 🙌

He could have been anything. So he decided to be a restroom at the gas station

I was thinking the same thing. It’s Curtains from there.

I think so, but how great when present in a courtroom, judgements being made, with jurors and a judge determining guilt/innocence, presentation matters.

Jackelbrash I know nothing about this trial. Just started watching. I would hope I would not show prejudice as a juror however it is hard to look at this guy and not question his judgement. The suit (which is about 3 sizes too large) doesn’t distract from the COLLECTION of face tats.

A waste of space that just needs to be injected goodnight. That poor dear little soul. Rest In Paradise now.

He seems to have gotten an additional significant amount of facial tattoos after the child’s death. When talking to the police he does not appear to have as many. On his left eyebrow the child’s name is tattooed but I think it was done after the death. Guilt perhaps.

Those face tatts and body tatts say look at me I want attention.

If he were a good puppy he'd call child protection services and ask for him to be the primary caregiver or a family member that wasn't on meth and the parents have supervised visits only at a child protection agency until they have produced enough supervised clean screens then they could look at going to court to get their kids back

He’s in a bad position, it reminds me of Casey Anthony dad, he loved his granddaughter but knew she died at the hands of his daughter (who he also loved)... these people have it bad, I feel sad for them

Jennifer Sandifer well he did a shit job at raising his daughter...

@@CTID I'm only 36 minutes in so maybe there's more information concerning the father being a shit parent that I'm not aware of, but you can be a great parent, do everything right, and your kid can still end up growing up to be a drug addict.

FoxInTheTwilight yes totally agree with you 100% Everything is a choice once we start forming our own thoughts. We can talk to them, help guide them, give them money etc. but the things they do can’t have everything to do with the parenting. I myself have never drank or done drugs but I can make my own choices.

@@CTID how, he seems like a good guy don't blame him he didn't do nothing wrong gave her anything she needed she's a pathetic person like her mother.

@@foxinthetwilight4046 exactly, I come from a middle-class home both my parents they're loving carrying parents and my brother was a heroin addict.

Phoebe D. Brown I agree. I think he did everything he could to help his daughter. I think he has been though Hell and back. Sad situation for him.

Looks like a salt of the earth kind of guy. Meth is a plague.

@ Phoebe D. Brown.... a decent human being that has been dealt a very heavy burden.....his daughter and all her shyte.

Phoebe D. Brown I agree as well, but if that where my dad and he knew I was doing meth, he would have came and got that baby from me in a heartbeat. I wouldn’t get that baby back until he had proof that I was rehabilitated 💯! I’m sure her dad regrets not doing that and now it’s too late... so sad.

I agree with you that he’s a good guy but he enabled his daughter which never ends well.

👍🏿

@@zachbade5542 👍🏻

I agree. It was hard to watch! She looks and sounds like she just graduated from law school 😐

Lol. You say that until you get in front of her. The prosecutors in Covington are tough

As an attorney - I felt her nervousness.

I didn't felt her nervous. She might be nervous because of the cameras. But Layla Zon been a Newton County DA for a bit. I ve seen this woman give some 180 days for missing 1 probation meeting while all caught up on fines and community service. I ve seen her give someone 2 years prison even after they got their charges drop but probation violation still got in the way. She's tough. She has like a 90% conviction rate. I am scare to see her in court when I go.

Atom Atlas her account

exactly!

It really has started standing out now. all the lawyers are doing it. he/she does it ONE time and gets reamed for it!

Renee Lane no kidding and even when the judge is trying to correct her he’s using they and them repeatedly.

They had no right to treat a witness like that! Unbelievable.

@@bettykirk1137 I actually felt bad for her. You can see she has a kind heart, and was very nervous, fumbling over her words after he scolded her like a 2 year old.

Especially one born at 6 lbs 6 oz. They don't have enough to sustain them for more than 2 hours.

yep she's a lying ass murderer

My baby was 6 lbs 7 ounces and she was up about every hour and a half for the first couple of months. Now her energy level allows her to go go go and i'm pretty sure she never sleeps. but hey, she's happy and healthy.

My youngest is 2 months and wakes up every 1-2 hours at night to eat. The first two weeks, he would want to eat every 30mins-2 hours at night, he is a cluster feeder. He is a very happy baby, but yes, it is odd to see a 14 day old sleep through the night. The first week, I was told by the hospital to feed him every 2 hours (if he decides he wants to feed more frequently, then feed him more) and gave me tips on how to make him stay awake during those feeds, so he could gain some weight.

@@natashadefoe7035 haha mine is the same, she never stops. And she was almost the same size as yours, just an ounce more

Leah Amy Martin I was thinking the same thing. And when she stated “sometimes my 2 year old picks her up”. I doubt a 2 year old could have walked off to far with a newborn.

Leah Amy Martin I was thinking true same thing. What a dud!

What a sad case. Meth is one hell of a drug. I will never understand why ppl wld put that in their body to begin with. Makes ppl crazy. Insane what happened to this innocent newborn.

you mean 2 week old babies don’t coming running like a dog when you call their name? damn... sucks for her then...

Leah Amy Martin I believe her iq is probably not above 20.

😂😂😂😂

You mean his grand daughters/great nieces. Chris and Cortney are first cousins. So the grandfathers sister is the mother of the father of those babies. This is nasty despicable behavior and I hope this family loses custody of all the children in their care so when they grow up they can find love OUTSIDE the family.

Good man. Praying for him🙏

lisette de vars they are not his great nieces because the grandad has no relation to the McNabbs. It’s Courtney’s mother Pam who is related to Chris Mcnabb. And Courtney’s mom and dad were never formally together.

I agree. He’s a good man who seems to constantly put others ahead of himself.

Oh, everybody get real! The bad choices started when the grandfather had a one-nighter years ago with a crackhead and got himself a baby to take care of. Then as a single Dad living in Bubbaville, none of them had a chance. Smfh, it's generational. .....

I noticed that as well.

Yes! She did not deserve the way she was treated by both the prosecutor and the judge. It was nasty and uncalled for.

I’ve seen A LOT worse. Her testimony was difficult to follow because she was calling Tim “Bubba”, saying “they”, answered many questions before the lawyers were finished asking them, being vague and answering questions that weren’t asked. However she didn’t deserve to be talked to the way she was. They brought up her conviction to discredit her in the end and the prosecutor snapped at her because she changed her testimony. She’s obviously nervous and feels guilty over the situation.

Courtney Bell has been released from prison and all charges dropped. Her father had custody of Clarissa but I’m not sure if she’s been returned to Courtney now that she’s out of jail. Hopefully with Chris in jail, she turns her life around and becomes a good mom to Clarissa, unlike her own mother was to her. It’s crazy how much chaos and toxicity just one person can create in a family (disgustingly, Courtney & Chris are first cousins) Chris was a menace and degenerate since he was 9 yrs old, having been arrested FIVE times in less than 3 months for breaking into businesses and stealing a car. He also broke into a friend’s house and stole his Xbox. He literally had 5 arrests in 3 months & finally on the 5th time he was sent to jail for 4 years. Before that he had been arrested for violent assaults on others twice before age 14. His dad and stepmom did their best, no drugs or issues that anyone knows of, but he was incorrigible. A bad seed, if you will.

Why, because she's the smartest 1 in the house.

@@davejones5640 lol. Definitely

Katie Lou I’ve seen them question kids that age on episodes of The First 48, but I’m not sure if that information would hold up in court....

I know right ...

Cee Cee B. The cops told the mother they were going to take the girl to talk to someone and that when they do neither her nor Chris can take her and she couldn’t stay with them until she went. But I don’t know if it came out in court

My heart hurts for him. Seems like a loving man.

I agree! It sounds like the grandchildren would not have had the basics, if not for him. A blue collar man, with a good heart. Be blessed, Racquel, today and always! =)

I agree, poor man

Your surname is Bedgood? Nice! Kind of like the name of a Russian spy James Bond would date 😃
