Parkland trial witness gives bizarre demonstration of Nikolas Cruz | LiveNOW from FOX 

I do too! Amen. The guy was called as a witness and he was as articulate as he could be. Everyone just shut up already!

And so do I Bravo!!!

@James Terry why this ain't the cooking channel

He's a frustrated actor

This was a defense witness and it was a complete act to suggest to the jury that the heinous criminal was crazy. And unfortunately it worked. F this guy, a paid actor and liar.

@@CDM416 The resulting verdict

13:03 I can’t keep a straight face. 🤭🤭

something tells me that he might be one of the people that tiped cruz to the police.theres no way you would have someone with a gun next door behaving like this and not be worried.

@@justsayin3084 the fact that NC was able to get a gun is terrifying.

While it may seem trivial, a witness speaking to a juror is a very serious breach of courtroom rules and could result in a appeal being filed. Additionally, the witness continued speaking when the judge was attempting to inform him of the rules which is terribly rude.

@@robp.7769 In all fairness, the judge had just raised her voice and snapped at him to only face the jury" and said something about 'the jury box being able to see and hear you being all that matters'. I can see how he was confused by that. I did not think he came across as anything other than a good, reliable witness trying to be as thorough and detailed as possible?

She can’t control her duck lips sometimes.

The judge has a job to do and make sure that everyone is safe and sticks to the rules of the court. Am sure there are no hard feelings it just has to be done. Most people that have taken the stand do not know what to do and are like fish out of water. The judge has to keep things moving along and make sure he did not go off track which he was doing.

@@exoticprairie The fact that he's hard of hearing is precisely why she raised her voice. Further, we aren't discussing turning and saying something under questioning. There was no question pending, he was not sitting on the stand, and what he was doing could have been construed as addressing a juror directly. Those things cannot happen and if they do the entire case can be appealed and all the months of work go out the window. The judge was trying to protect the court room and the case. Frankly, with the manner that the witness spoke over her, some judges would have been far more harsh.

The creep was the nosey neighbor that wants us to believe she is helping the killer as a mother figure.

I think it had a bit too much of an impact on him, most ppl don't notice kids in their neighborhood as much as this guy...

He sodomized Nick probably

@Lola V It's not creepy at all. Sounds like projection on your part.

Exactly

He's detailing a bizarre incident. Is what I think they meant to write? 🤔

@@breewashere FOX is saying his demonstration off the witness stand was bizarre. The man was detailed throughout his testimony for sure!

Stupid Fox news

Exactly! I think he was a great witness.

You cannot say that wasn't bizarre

Your crazy for defending a person who took away loved ones?

@@Jtyoutube2467 I'm pretty sure the original commenter was talking about this witness....not the murderer

@@Jtyoutube2467dude get off the drugs

he seems like the neighbor that would live in my neighborhood. and they aren't creepy at all.

I don't find him "creepy" though he is a bit odd. I find his comportment charming.

I wouldn’t say he’s the perfect neighbor if you’re someone who is up to “no good”. Lol If you were up to no good, he’d actually be the worst neighbor in that sense. You wouldn’t want a neighbor who notices everything that goes on at your house and everyone else’s house. If you were up to no good you’d want a neighbor who was a recluse or someone that was away all the time on business. This is the perfect neighbor to run neighborhood watch.

Every Steve I know including my neighbor is like this guy very animated and peculiar 😳😂😳😂😂😂😂

Watching the boys playing?

I noticed that too.

I’m not a fan of this judge at all. I think she’s overcompensating a bit because this is probably the biggest trial of her career.

She was so snobby to him!

Shes insufferable.

Witnesses usually know for quite a long time in advance that they're going to be testifying. It's the responsibility of the lawyer to prepare the witness, including explaining all of the rules. I'm also pretty sure that the court independently explains the rules to them

He seems self-assured enough not to feel embarrassed by it.

I didn't find it embarrassing.

@@ruqayyahqadri8180 I was agreeing with you. I said "didn't" not "did." 🤷

I didn't see or hear any hostility. She does have the responsibility to make sure everyone is safe!

Wow she was a TOTAL JERK . The first time I saw this judge I thought she was the most incredibly gorgeous woman. I wouldnt even go on a date now with this cold hearted and joyless woman.

That was the most bizarre witness I've ever seen. He is not allowed to speak in the narrative to the jury and she was totally correct to stop him. She actually should have done more to stop him including stopping him from doing that bizarre dance.

@@scott_johnson_ yea everyone saying what a great witness he was needs their head examined

She is hostile to everyone. That judge has issues…

He seemed to pour all his effort into being clear and accurate. I think he is very conscientious. His observations are normal for a person who is extremely aware of their surroundings. Maybe he is ADHD and takes in much more than the average person. Regardless, he took great effort in being thorough. I would love to have him for a neighbor. 😎

He's just not as emotionally affected by the tragedy as most of the other witnesses. So he can be clear, accurate and use his story-telling skills accordingly. If his kid or grandchild had been killed by that disgusting goatman (look at his stupid bumfluff), I think it would be more tear-jerking than this clip.

The judge should have put a stop to it. Perhaps she didn't because in this case it actually wasn't prejudicial to the defence, who would like to see the defendant depicted as being of diminished capacity. Nevertheless, it is unacceptable and certainly grounds for review. In other trials far less blatant antics have been shut down fast. This is a CIRCUS. And the testimony is VILE.

@@combatepistemologist8382 stop defending a kid killer

The demonstration was bizarre because he was imitating the ridiculous way he saw Cruz running, his testimony beyond that was detailed and engaging.

YES!!!!!!! 😆

….and then… with the sounds of branches snapping…twigs breaking..and pine needles crunching… the creatures pulled little Tabatha from her Tent 🏕….never to be seen again…. “ OK kids time for everyone to get in their tents, don’t forget to zip the fly closed “

Omg yes🤣🤣 he would be GREAT at it.

@@petedavidson6931 you’re hilarious!! 😄

😂😂😂

Kidding me? This guy is the best ever! His running demo was probably 100% spot on for what Nick Cruz was doing that day

his demonstration helped, i was picturing something totally different lol but fr

Yeah, the judge was unprofessional and showed attitude problems. The guy was trying to do what's right and she treated him with no respect at all.

Agree! She was such an unnecessary b!*ch so many times throughout this! For her to say “don’t talk to the jury” girl what???? Everyone talks to the jury. She annoys me. Like lady get over yourself

They did the same crap with a different witness also. This one was a woman and when she stood up after the lawyer asked her to demonstrate the judge flipped out. The guards came i fast and tightened their circle around the judge.

Yes I agree with you!

Yeah she was rude.

The whole running demonstration was very weird. Imo.

She’s in over her head. Power hungry. She’s trying to make a name for herself. She needs to go back to law school. How did she even get this case..?

I agree. She is horrible. She sounds and often acts unprofessionally.

You become an age when being embarrassed doesn't apply anymore

Yeah and those court officers got prepared for him.

That's the thing, this guy wasn't embarrassed at all and he would have kept going! He was happy to do the demonstration! Ha ha so funny like another person said he's that kind of old guy who just doesn't care all he wants to make sure of is that you understand exactly what he means! Ha ha 😂 this was greatly entertaining!

Haha what’s going on in this town where all these CHARACTERS ARE COMING FROM…….. BEFORE I GET RIPPED FOR SAYING THINGS…… ITS VERY commendable for THEM to go in front of the jury and knowing MILLIONS OF GOOFY PEEPS LIKE US WILL BE WATCHING……… BUT THIS GUY COMES OFF EXTREMELY CRINGE AND SUSPECT……… YA CANT SAY HE DOESNT SEEM WEIRD THE WAY HE WAS a ACTING WITH “LINDA AND NOT BEING INVITED TO THE CRACK SHACK PARTY OR WTF EVER”

Why is everyone such a dickhead on social media. Like everyone is different and I’m sure y’all have noticed when people explain things. Some are mono tone, some say it how it is and then some people get very theatrical with it. It’s not a bad thing, neither are the other two. That’s just how people talk it’s literally common sense.. Bro 🤦‍♂️

No he wasn’t. He was rambling about pointless things and was way too dramatic about it. He clearly was super eager to testify

I agree, he felt like what he had experienced being their neighbor was important for him to tell. I think his testimony was very interesting. He’s clearly passionate about it

@@boomds5602 not everyone has the same attention span to ingest information so I get why you could have that opinion.

Agreed

@@boomds5602 That's just his personality. Some people have more of a narrative approach while others are straight to the point.

Some of the comments that some viewers sprout out are really disturbing actually. On the other hand, this trial is discussing to killing somebody, so that's distrubing in my opinion.

agreed wholeheartedly

Im sorry i couldnt not laugh

I have no idea how anyone kept a straight face lol

Look out, Jim Carrey

he’s long winded, rambles, and had trouble staying on topic. couldn’t answer basic questions. but yeah ignore all that because he uses a tone of voice that makes it sound interesting

AND THE ACADEMY GOES TO!!!! great performance How much were u paid !!!!!?

Clearly you didn’t watch until the end

I agree!

@@lomuss5 You missed the point. The witness demonstrated Cruz's bizarre behavior. At the end the witness did nothing bizarre! LiveNOW from FOX should be sued for making the witness look crazy.

@@ZepG really he didn’t lol? did you not see him dancing around. Not to mention he was strangely eager to testify

@@lomuss5 If Cruz danced around like that and he demonstrated it as he saw it then your point is moot! As for me personally if a horrible person murdered a bunch of people I would be eager to help lock him up.

But also his unsensible, unresponsive, iresponsable adoptive mother and father.

I think that was the whole point of his demonstration, showing how free this guy was to use and play with guns at this household and yes it was not a real gun this time around but just look at what he did later on with a real weapon.

The defendant… Lol. Like any of this is at all relevant to reaching a decision on sentencing.

@@scarletperez2941 Wow. Just wow. I guess the other 40 million kids that play with airsoft guns are also on their way to committing mass murder as well.

Priceless! 🤣🤣🤣

The judge: 👁👁 👃🏻 👄

I thought he was going to pass out right after he demonstrated the Nikolas Cruz run! I love the part when the judge says "sir, don't talk to the jury." And he just couldn't help himself but fall off point in his answers... I was laughing my ass off!

IKR. The Court were the ones acting weird. It's not as if the guy was begging to get up and do that they Told him to and then acted as if he was being strange. When the Judge told him Not to talk to the Jury made me think of Amber heard because that is all she did was Speak to the Jury. Why didn't the Judge yell at her for that? Unless it being a different type of trial or something is what it is.

@@chrismiksworld I thought of the same thing with a different witness who was looking at the jury periodically. I’m only a few minutes into this one so I’m not sure exactly what you’re referencing **but** regarding Amber Heard - her *always* answering and turning to the jury was so unnerving and unnecessary. I read where a member of the jury for her trial had said it was so off-putting because none of the jury can respond to the witness, obviously, but when someone is consistently talking _to_ you it’s so strange because you can’t respond. Hope that makes sense lol. Just thought it was an interesting little tid bit.

@@chrismiksworld there is a difference between looking toward the jury while talking and standing right in front of them and talking to them.

Because there is called order of the court.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

If this guy doesn't have a significant case of OCD, there's no telling what he has...

Yes it is but I didn’t see the need for the demonstration. The witness did tell the attorney his description was like his toddler grandson. Can’t that attorney picture what that looks like?

I have two adult kids who run like this. They are both diagnosed with autism, one has learning delay. I don't know how it happens.

All televised trials have become spectacles. I've been watching trials since OJ Simpson. When the cameras are rolling you never know what people will say, do or act. The Mr Depp vs Amber was a complete 🎪🎪 🎪Circus.

@@willworkforyarn4893 personally no I couldn’t. But then, I wouldn’t call myself a judge. I’m sure that she is doing the best she can, giving the severity of the situation. It takes two types of people to accept such an endeavour. 1. A fully qualified impartial judge, with years of experience, who is in total control of their emotions. A person who will not be swayed by public opinion or court publicity, and will ensure the defendant receives the correct defence, and treated humanely. 2. The others. Just my opinion

Reminds me of Creed from the office

@@dannigro8794 Yes!!!! 😆

@@dannigro8794 😆

nothing hilarious about any of this!

Yeah! The expression she had after that humorous demonstration was priceless! If I were her, I would of scolded that attorney outside of court for asking the witness to show everyone. 🤣

Her lack of credential and experience and a powerful daddy put her in the courtroom. Absolutely terrible, unprofessional, and immature judge. I am not one to comment on makeup, but hers was WAY too flashy for such a somber and serious occasion. Quite literally a clown. Then, refraining from judging her based on her presentation as that's not fair of me, it actually turned out the be an accurate red flag and I was not surprised to see her absolutely fumble the case in four separate occasions.. This has been an absolute travesty on her part.

He will be remembered like the one *Einstein witness* in Johnny Depp trial 😆

Idk how everyone kept it together 😂😂😂

One of the prosecutors was trying to hold it in and couldn’t!!

@@louisianadaboo1228 Oh I didn't see that part in the video... I will have to look at it again.

Well, the attorney asked for it. And got it 🤣🤣🤣

It's all for show!

Because he could and because the guy would! It does paint a picture of the deranged boy and how weird the kid was, so maybe somehow that's relevant. No reason for him to be shut down like that either. If he wanna come in and dance around like that, let him!

I’m not an expert but from what I’ve learned, when it comes to trials especially serious trials like murder trials every little detail is imperative. Every little detail matters to paint a vivid picture of what exactly the man saw. This can in my opinion show a mentally Ill child having a manic episode and just kind of lost in the moment, kind of like people who get a hard on to do atrocious things who knows what was going through his head doing that. Maybe he was picturing himself killing people, so excited about it he was almost having a high off the thought

Why not? He knew this guy was animated and compelling in his testimony...

@@billyesxobar2247 so you saying he never thought about his actions being wrong when he was planning it?

True

Wow, what am I missing?? Who?

So ridiculous

He didn't said anything helpful but he's a great story teller

@@hus390 disagree he explained everything about Nick as a child from an outsiders perspective.

Totally biased toward the defense. Very bizarre dance

Calling him Sir and saying Thank you.. So rude.. She never demeaned him but she does have to control the court. There are procedures. He can't speak to the Jury. If he does it can lead to alot of other issues that delay the proceedings. It could potentially even lead to the removal of a Jury member. He also can't start a demonstration wherever he wants. Just because he's old doesn't mean he can't wait for instruction. I get he's excited and probably nervous but he's already been through Depositions with the defense lawyers so he's been briefed on how to act in court and what to do.

@@keithwilbur2589 I agree 👍

@@keithwilbur2589 no, she was rude. I will disagree with you.

@@sstacyss She was probably annoyed, which maybe caused her to sound rude but I don't think she's being rude. Sometimes you just have to get a point across. You just can't let a witness go off the rails and do things that could potentially lead to an appeal, mistrial or the removal of a Jury member. I'm sure he's a sweet old guy that only wanted to tell a story the best way he could to help but he repeatedly walked right up to the line of what could cause problems for the entire hearing. Even answering a question he was asked but answering it with a long descriptive version that includes irrelevant information or varies from the answer he gave in his Deposition is potentially a big problem. I'm sure he's great telling stories by a campfire but he is exactly the type of witness Judges and Attorneys hate. He'll either give amazing testimony that wins a case or he'll cause a mistrial. They only decide if they like him after the case.

I don’t like this judge at all I’m gonna be blunt she is a b**** plain and simple to bad the judge in The Johnny Depp case wasn’t the one for this case she was very good…

Hell yea smh.

When this is over the judge needs to come back and study how she acted. Very unprofessional and very disrespectful to this gentleman. Absolutely disgusting on her part.

I was thinking the same thing. The judge needs to shut her mouth and listen to what the witness has to say. She was rude to keep interrupting him. I feel like the judge gives more respect to the shooter than she gave to the neighbor. I believe another judge needs to intervene.

They can’t leave any stone unturned. We certainly don’t want this overturned for lack of good legal representation. None of this is doing anything but showing that Cruz was always a problem.

@BuildGUY I'd have to agree with you on that. This can't be real.

Omg…I was thinking the same thing. Those poor families…having to listen to this. Do you wonder why the boys didn’t want to talk to him when they lived across the street from him. I would have ran as fast as I could past his house in order to get into my house if I was a kid. Being sociable to Linda….he was being nosey. This witness needs a psych consult….or maybe all the motorcycle fumes has damaged his brain . So by now we all know that since a young age Nichols had problems. He was bullied since a young age not only by his peers but also by adults. The system failed him…including his adopted mother. Was he ever under psychiatric care? 🤷‍♀️

@@lauriemcdarby5368 I think his writing and drawings while in prison are him trying to use reverse psychology on the jury. he wants life in prison. So, if he makes it out like he wants death, they might give him life just because that goes against what he wants. idk

Yes, The Judge is the one who made it freaking weird. Acting as if the guy asked or begged to get up and do it instead of being Told to do it. And the Judge yelling at him to Not speak to the Jury made me think why Amber Turds Judge let her Speak to the Jury the entire trial. But maybe the type of trial makes a difference, I don't know.
