Suspect Snaps After Detectives Reveal Shocking Secret 

Amen to that. It's that bit of extra work that sets EWU above a lot of the other channels.

The captions are AI, big man

@@LILREMAlNS Nah. you can see other channels that use AI to generate subs and they are awful. maybe they use AI to generate subs but it is very clear that they have a human at least proofreading them.

*YOU GUYS

i don’t even have hearing issues and CC is still helpful for so many reasons. who cares if they are made with some initial AI assistance, i know for a fact that auto-CC software gets it wrong all the time and the audio on these is often Rough. there is definitely significant human labour that goes into correcting the machine outputs, captioning the bits that software simply can’t handle, etc. and using AI to get some of the baseline work done is just being efficient at this point.

I felt bad for laughing because the whole time he was doing that I’m like I bet the cops think he’s nuts 😂

fontae: pushing the table and kicking his feet like a toddler cops: 😑

33:14 i feel bad for laughing when the detective just continues writing on his notepad like "...so anyways" and the number of times the editors had to fastfoward through his tantrum 💀

They had no idea what to do. Lol 😂

I feel bad but literally how I felt working in prek and kindergarten, watching the kids after switching from their favorite activity!

Exactly, because even if you are innocent, they will clearly lie for any sort of admission of guilt

It’s actually so baffling to me that the second they’re read their rights they don’t ask for a lawyer, it’s like they secretly want to be caught for the recognition because they already know their chances of freedom are slim

They always think they’re far too clever to get caught and think their narcissistic ways and stories will control the narrative

Nah if you are guilty be SURE to talk to the police

​@asdfasdfasdfdsfgsdfg The police aren't your friends. They are there to get a confession of some sort. Which is why, it is always best to get with a lawyer, and have the lawyer do the talking.

Yeah that's absolutely wild. My jaw dropped when they said it was the same judge.

It should never be the same judge twice, under any circumstance!

FASHO

😂

I gotta say the above comment has me upset. A few people, specifically women said he's "acting like an immature child" when the police told him his GF is dead. I think a lot of women start off believing the man is always guilty. And any hysteria or throes or despair over the loss of his significant other they believe is a well thought out display meant to convince police of his innocence. If that's the case, it's not "being childish and immature".

​@@SubvertTheStateDude, the guy broke down like an ace attorney witness after being caught lying in their testimony tf you mean

@@bonebag1961I agree wholeheartedly. What a weird paragraph 🙃😅

what do you mean?

@@bolerpear967 if he did it he would be worried if she’s alive and could out him, instead he was calm. When he found out the truth of her passing … 1.

She’s not alive to defend him and clarify that she did it as the only witness with him.

@@bolerpear967because he would have been scared of her being alive if he committed the crime for her to be like he stabbed me instead he was more calm and relaxed when they lied to him and said she was alive and doing good a guilty person would have been nervous and scared

Your comment also tell us everything we need to know about you 😂

right? like what the fuck was that

They were all corrupt. They were so convinced the “dangerous black man” killed her and didn’t want to hear any other evidence

I think he had no idea about what was told in that room before. that's my only possible explanation what would not make him a dick. still his fault, though. also, the first cop saying the girl is fine as if she just had a scratch on her knee was not nice. yes maybe they're allowed to lie, whatever. not nice. also, alternative reaction to your comment: they just treated him like he's guilty already.

@@michalmasaryk423 100% what it was - they decided before they went in that room that he did it

Cops really cnt have emotional attachments to these things

The new jury still found him guilty. And the next one will too, if there's another one. He did it. His friends are crying that they didn't investigate anyone but him. Lol, there's no one else . It's him and her. He's the only on able to be looked at. He knows he did it.

My favorite quote

She dated a black guy i have no sympathy for her

The girl was a mudshark

Look who she was in a relationship with haha zero sympathy

that was the reason for instant sub to EWU years ago xD

Very well articulated! I was thinking the same thing throughout this video! It's an injustice that this guy is in prison and I hope the system corrects this wrong.

As someone with similar mental health struggles as this girl and someone who used to self medicate with drugs. I can totally believe she stabbed herself. We have something called rejection sensitivity dysphoria. Him ending the relationship could have been enough to push her to do that. Along with the mixture of alcohol, drugs, medication and her heightened emotional state. I can also see how she might have pushed him so far he snapped.

Look at the video where she is sitting down he has his jacket on…… need I say more

@@sallywaites8517YUP! As a BPD girlie myself (although not violent to anyone other than myself) I get absolutely INSANE when I’m in love and being rejected by them or told to go away can honestly make me want to end everything, I stabbed (little stag) myself in the leg during an episode once and I can barely even remember why I did it, I also couldn’t even feel it until hours later One of the reasons I’ve never actually gone through with ending it is bc I’m worried someone will get in trouble cause of me…so yeah you’re definitely right, I don’t think he did it and I attest that it’s very likely she just did this to herself (I also don’t believe he is as sweet and gentle as he’s making himself out to be though)

I watch a lot of deception detection type videos and there were a few signs right away that told me this guy was telling the truth. The 911 call where he gets rude is a sign that the caller is sincere. People trying to stage a 911 call often try to tell their side of the story right away knowing the call will be played in court and are less concerned with actually getting help. When people get rude or demanding it displays their true desperation to get help for the victim and aren’t as aware of how it will sound later. Also when he was telling how it happened he used a lot of illustrative body movements to help describe what happened, which often points to an accurate recounting of events from memory vs. a made up story. I haven’t quite finished watching the video yet but so far I am leaning heavily into the “I believe him” camp. I hate to say it, but the cards were stacked against him from the jump. Pretty white girl and black guy-I have a pretty good idea that many law enforcement personnel in certain parts of this country will have already made their minds up.

When the label says "do not operate heavy machinery under the influence of this drug", I know they mean vehicles, but my mind always goes to forklifts and bulldozers

Exactly, he’s innocent

And if they didn't hear about her mental health, they didn't hear about this aspect...

Drug interactions: Yeah alcohol is a drug, lots of people forget that. Doesn’t mix well with a lot of things. Don’t drive: Depends on the meds & depends on you. Some meds can make you lightheaded or loopy or whatever & you shouldn’t drive, but that may not happen (not all side effects hit everyone equally), it may happen but only for a week or so until you get used to the drug, or it may be that the entire time you’re on that medication you have the issue. The warning is there to tell you what you need to watch out for. And yes, you can get a DUI for driving while impaired even if the impairment is due to medications taken as prescribed. Generally they only do that if you cause an accident, though.

Don't drink alcohol and drive the bulldozer? Man you can't have any fun on a jobsite.

I just got on here to see if anyone else felt this way. I honestly don’t think he did it.

100% same

Totally agree. He was devastated that she’d died, a guilty person wouldn’t act like that.

@@user-cn3si5um7kthat’s not true. Murderers can feel sad about killing someone. They can do it in a manic episode and only fully quantify the situation

Exactly, specially the first part. He was not anxious about her surviving, not a bit. He *knew* she would have cleared it up.

Why?

I can guess why you think hes innocent lmfao. Predictable

@@Latvijas_Amēlija bro what

A judge made a mistake at my dad's trial, but he's the same one that gets to deny all of his motions trying to raise the issues. The justice system is so broken.

Right?? It's illogical to have the same judge for a retrial period. You wouldn't have an identical jury, right? Absolutely corrupt.

I think the innocence project should look into thisc case. Also looks like the Judge is corrupt

@sharonzilinskas1214 as far as I'm aware, the innocence project only takes cases with exonerating DNA evidence, but things could have changed since I reached out. It's possible, if the knife is still available for testing, that they may be willing to pick up his case.

They know the judge will just rubber stamp Guilty no matter what, it's fucked up these judges won't remove themselves no matter what it's pride they are so corrupt it's sickening they have a story even if they know you are innocent they find you guilty

Indeed! Yes!

Do you think it is time Society had the conversation about just how effective jury trials are? If there should be an independent monitor in the deliberation room? Personally, it would be important to me that I could say anything in that room without fear of repercussion or revenge.... but this type of deliberation happened this century, which blows my mind.... how do you convince people of what "Reasonable Doubt" even is when Reason has been lost in civil discourse?

Name of the judge???

Honestly. On the off chance he did it, he should never have been convicted. There's no fucking evidence.

It did no good if he did not write letter to judge he might of still been on jury and it would of been a miss trial and why in the hell that they had 200 people to pick from and all of them was white so no chance there could be a black person on jury so there was no persons of per on jury so corrupt I hope he can appeal don't give uo

When I was in that moment of impulsivity and high emotion I never thought about what I was doing as irrational. I felt it hard afterwards though

This guy is innocent. Tbh this is the first time watching one of these videos that I’ve actually cared enough to comment. It doesn’t matter how he “acted,” those are visceral reactions to a traumatic situation. Go watch other true crime videos and look how those people reaction / speak. It’s ALWAYS obvious who’s guilty. This guy wasn’t some trained actor. He didn’t have all the words to say planned out. It’s so obvious from the way he speaks that he’s telling the truth.

Every state has their own laws about it but an autopsy report is considered to be a confidential health record (HIPPA.) If you’re a close family member you may be able to get a copy.

I also am diagnosed with BPD, and I knew before they even told me that she had BPD. I used to act the same way she did, before I was in therapy for a few years. Therapy changes lives for those with BPD. I feel sorry for both of them.

🙏🏽✨💜

No he killed her

❤❤❤❤ I’m 40 now but was diagnosed at 22. It’s a really hard disorder to have. DBT absolutely saved me, too. Just know - there will be times in life where it flares up or resurfaces and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed - it’s totally normal. Every human is a puzzle that needs to be solved again and again - it’s never entirely finished. I’d get really blindsided when it resurfaced after loss or trauma - somehow I’d thought that I’d solved it for good after therapy, but humans don’t work like that. I just wanted to give you the heads up I didn’t have - it can bubble back to the surface but those skills from DBT WORK no matter how much time passes. I still use them every single day. And borderline is thankfully one personality disorder you can make substantial progress with and one that comes closest to being capable of being cured with treatment. It sounds like you’ve made huge strides already and are really self-aware. That’s fantastic and will definitely continue being your own sort of superpower in the future. I hope you know that. I also hope you know that you already matter to people - you literally cannot be duplicated. Think of someone you’ve lost - can anyone replace them in your heart? Of course not. YOU are that person for someone else. My best friend - also borderline - never managed to understand that concept. She committed suicide almost ten years ago and it literally never stops hurting. She didn’t think I cared but I have literally thought of her and missed her every single solitary day for the last decade. I just really hope you know that for someone else YOU are that person. They’d miss you every single day and never get over it. Ever. You already matter. Keep fighting, kiddo. You sound like you’re doing a great job already. You’ve got this ❤

Much love to you, honey. So many congratulations for taking good care of yourself, your heart, and your essence. ❤

With all honestly I have the same diagnosis as her and I can see myself doing that ri myself when I split . I rage and self harm when a man rejects me and go feom 0 to 100

I agree with you. Although I am a strong proponent of the police, I have come to believe there should not be any questioning until the person being questioned has at least spoken to a lawyer.

Right!

Crazy that you can convict someone when it's very obviously clear that there is doubt

Exactly..based on what's explained in this video, there's absolutely reasonable doubt. And giving him the same judge on the second trial should not be allowed.

Borderline is scary because they go into these dark moods where they seem like they’ll do anything and everything.

i don't mean to take away from your story but your wife cannot have both bipolar and bpd because borderline is caused by external traumatic factors and bipolar is inherently hereditary (i.e. the chemical imbalance runs in the family and your wife has had a history of bipolar people in her family). you're right to be concerned though; both bpd and bipolar can be scary in severe cases and i'm really glad your wife survived! the impulses are scary and it's often difficult to rationalize when you're put into a high state of mania with bipolar :( wishing you and her the best with coping with her bipolar.

@@nymphiashe could have the genetic basis for bipolar, AND have experienced trauma as a child. Both can definitely co-exist and one mental illness increases risk of developing another

@@nymphiaL comment.

@@nymphiawherever you got your information from that these two diagnoses can not coexist is incorrect

My thoughts on the knife being 10-15ft away from her is that maybe he yanked it without thinking and tossed it away, if we're going the doubtful route here. Like, he panicked after she maybe fell or was weakened, so he grabbed it and tossed it so she couldn't cause any more harm to herself or anyone else. Even if he may not remember, because stressful situations do be a bitch like that.

Seeing how this played out, I wouldn't put it past the local cops purposely kicking it away from the crime scene to help frame him.

She could have thrown the knife, though on the other hand it leads me to a couple more questions: There doesn't seem to be much talk about the blood or lack there of. The wounds were in her heart and lung, if knife is removed, it must have been a bloody scene. He is wearing a white shirt and recalls pacing a lot, it seems the shirt is too clean, did he change it? Also, if she is unconscious, why didn't he seem to help her? I did not hear any evidence of this. No attempt to stop bleeding? Not even a towel over the wounds? To me, his cleanliness is the red flag.

It was actually 10ft Not 15ft but I get what you're saying

She had coke in her system too while on several drugs and on meds

The reason why it was retried was because the judge ruled that the victim would not be on trial, as the defense wanted to just purely attack her instead of proving him not guilty. She disallowed it, and the appeals court found it to be the wrong decision in this specific case, but that the trial was otherwise fine (and the decision normally sound). So the second trial occured with him being allowed to impeach her character as much as he wanted. The juror stuff that EWU focused on is something I haven't ever seen brought up anywhere else.

What the juror brought up was the talk of the town. It was absolutely wild when that came out.

@@user-oc8is1ed1g Weird that nobody brought it up with the clearly sympathetic Supreme Court, then. I can buy that there might be enough reasonable doubt to not convict, but I don't really buy that juror's claims, especially if they couldn't even be bothered to help Fontae with a slam-dunk appeal.

@@Neremworld there are a lot of rules within the court system. If I’m remembering correctly, they did try to get the juror as a witness, but it wasn’t allowed.

@@user-oc8is1ed1g Well you'd want to make the accusation in an appeal. Trying to get a juror as a witness in a trial is basically a no-go even if the judge wanted to for some reason.

Heck, I've "only" suffered with major depression and anxiety and been on benzos (as prescribed) for a while, then had two double screwdrivers (so four shots of vodka, total) and felt absolutely wasted, and was glad I don't have alcoholism, despite it running in my family, because I can easily see how and why benzos are both incredibly helpful for managing anxiety and panic attacks, but also easily abused and addictive, tolerance and so ineffectiveness rises fast, increasing the risk of addiction even further. Just from that one night where I combined a pretty minor amount of alcohol with 15mg of a benzo, I could easily see how out of control by behaviour could have become, if it wasn't aware how loopy I felt, and asked to head home to bed! Especially when self-medicating legit mental health issues is so common for a reason. Numbing the pain, fear and trauma is what everyone wants to do in some way. Her particular diagnoses also predispose her to the wild swings in mood and behaviour, then she's mixing large amounts of uppers, downers, powerful prescription meds, street drugs that could be mixed with anything, and alcohol. Her own public social media posts confirm she is also possessive, jealous, controlling and not afraid to threaten violence, backed up with the deposition from the ex, that even her sister confirms she'd attacked her "once", and the video clip where she was the one to attack him first. That's a lot of evidence that weighs heavily in his favour, and it was all excluded from court! There are so many flaws with the investigation, the court proceedings, the misconduct by people in power such as the judge interfering with jury decisions to force a conviction... plenty of reasonable doubt, not nearly enough compelling evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he murdered her. Which means he should have been given a FAIR trial - impossible with the same judge, and same all white jury judging a black man being portrayed as a violent criminal who "took the life of a lovely, pretty young white girl"... I'm sure part of his hysteria must have been terror, knowing how so many will immediately make a snap judgement and assume his guilt. Not to mention surpressing the evidence of her mental health and substance abuse history too. Based on the evidence seen here, I'd have to vote not guilty too. Dread to think how many more years he will lose of his freedom and life. Hopefully the innocence project will get involved.

100% agree with this. Xanax can make you do WILD things to yourself and is so dangerous when abused. As for the trial it's disgusting what can happen to jurors when they are bullied into making a decision. I hope Fontae gets another appeal properly heard. I have extensive knowledge of the justice system in the UK and it's similar to the US with regards to a jury. There was a show in the UK a couple of months ago detailing how easy it is for different juries to reach a different outcome with the same case and hearing exactly the same evidence, it was also detailing a murder trial. It showed how the jurors tried to manipulate the others into changing their minds. You should search for it on RU-vid it's fascinating.

It is a hard one, imaging being the husband of a missing wife, knowing that the police are trying to find evidence against you, while you want them to find your missing wife. (or child etc)

This needs a Netflix documentary and this man needs to be free. If I was on that jury, there was enough to see between her blood tests, her tweets, her character witnesses, and the expert witnesses to find acquitt.

@@Ericsaidful To be fair you havnt heard the prosecutions case. It is obvious that this video errs on the side of innocent. He may very well be, but the fact is, hes had (at least) 1 set of jurors believe he was guilty. So the prosecution must have a decent case. You have been 'tainted' by this material and would never qualify as a juror on this case. Impossible to have an impartial opinion.

Just gotta say for all the sub-humans saying "Look how relived he was when he heard she didn't die, that proves he didn't do it" No it proves he was already worried about going to prison for murder and then he thought it would be knocked down to aggravated assault. There is no way someone stabs themselves in the sternum multiple times in front of you and then you call your homeboy first and then the police and proceed to not give any information to the dispatcher... He keeps saying "You guys don't know what you would do in that situation" but we have records of hundreds of thousands of calls to the police where it's their first time calling 911 and reporting an emergency and they aren't as belligerent as him. 5 year old children would have communicated better hes a sociopath and a narcissist and clearly used to duping rubes like the fools in the comment section claiming he is innocent. That little fake tantrum and the weird segway into a supposed mob run police force and justice system in the city targeting him is such pure bullshit.

​@@debodatta7398 the 911 operator kept asking him stupid questions without even reassuring him that there was help on the way. I'd be frustrated and petulant too ffs. The first thing that operator should have stated was that they had lodged the address and services were on route to the address as fast as possible!

Thought that too --- absolutely brutal

You're pathetic.

You answered your own question, it's a jury trial...its the jury making the decisions based off evidence, not the judge.."we the jury find the "___" guilty/not guilty...its not the judge

It's called C.O.R.R.U.P.T.I.O.N.

Thats frequently happens. A wrongly convicted person fights for years and finally wins a new trial!! Then, the crooked judge over their first trial, again presides over their new trial, where they're found "guilty" a second time.

@@jmflyer55 Don't tell me you actually think this guy is innocent?! Get real.

@@slimbean2375 no, that's silly. Because the judge removed one of the jury members, no? So in the end the judge had a significant level of influence.

It was absolutely disgusting, and along with the likely-corrupt police department of that area, it just spells a recipe for disaster. If they were so confident in their convictions, they shouldn't be keeping autopsy records from the public, and they shouldn't ensure that the jury is racially motivated to find him guilty.

12 Angry Men from 1957 was SO good! I had to look up the year and noticed there was another made in 1997. Maybe I'll have to check that one out too.

grow a backbone princess ,, geez

That’s American justice at its core, he had no money as athlete to defend himself.

100% agree with this. Xanax can make you do WILD things to yourself and is so dangerous when abused. As for the trial it's disgusting what can happen to jurors when they are bullied into making a decision. I hope Fontae gets another appeal properly heard. I have extensive knowledge of the justice system in the UK and it's similar to the US with regards to a jury. There was a show in the UK a couple of months ago detailing how easy it is for different juries to reach a different outcome with the same case and hearing exactly the same evidence, it was also detailing a murder trial. It showed how the jurors tried to manipulate the others into changing their minds. You should search for it on RU-vid it's fascinating.

True. Honestly the interview helps play into his state of mind and should have helped him get off but the judge screwed him.

He's not under arrest. They want to know what happened. Stop being ridiculous

​@@Youre-WelcomeCops are never your friend, and you should never speak to them without a lawyer, let alone when you're intoxicated.

@@Youre-Welcome They lied to him about Sam's condition, and they lied to him that he wasn't being detained. He absolutely needed a lawyer.

@@Youre-WelcomeIt doesn’t matter that he isn’t under arrest, clown. Everyone has a right to a lawyer when being questioned by the police. Regardless of being the one suspected or not. It’s actually the smart and logical thing to do, because the police are not your friends.

just turn it down a little bit lol.

At least he wasn't holding the knife in this room too

I was calmly cleaning and ... BOOM lol, nearly lost my hearing

Thanks for the heads up

look at him and tell me if you seriously believe you could ask him to do any better?

He'll be found guilty every time. He did it, it's the 2nd jury pool to agree. The defense had a whole extra shot to win , and still didn't.

​@@kenw2225your mom won dez nuts! 🔩 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 🤭😱🫣

@@kenw2225 He would not have been found guilty the first time if the judge hadn't removed the juror who was voting not guilty for completely biased reasons. You may think he is guilty but everyone deserves a fair trial and you can't remove a juror who disagrees if he is actually performing his duty. You should try actually watching the video and google what reasonable doubt is. There was more than enough in this case.

baby gintoki

Bruh I’ve KNOWN HIM for two decades, he’s been to our home on multiple occasions! He is friends with one of our sons and I would have never guessed this in a bajillion years. I also know people who knew Sam and they’ve said she was a little ‘off’ especially when it pertained to Fontae. I dunno what happened but I’m still not 100 percent he did this.

It's crazy the police are allowed to lie so much and it's just all good for them, when if anyone else does that and they're getting charged with crimes and you can for sure expect that.

​@@MatthewCauldwell You sound a little slow. When the cops lie it's usually to hide evidence or get people to admit to something, when people lie to police they are usually doing it to cover up a crime and that's how and why they are getting charged..

Thing is i might not remember but when has ewu actually never got all the information, they were denied access to some interesting details

Exactly my thought

@@MatthewCauldwell they are not your friends and life is not fair.

Its insane, I'm from South Africa and we have a corrupt system like most but this would never happen if there was a second trial. Also, the evidence and studies, as well as expert testimonies pretty much proves his innocence. Her tweets were erratic and dangerous at best. His recollection of the incident with her sister was not something he needed to say at all but it just pointed in the direction of her being mentally unstable. Not to mention the eerily similar situation her ex boyfriend had experienced with her. All of this is just something a seasoned law professional can't ignore, let alone a jury of ordinary citizens. I can rant on for days about how this is messed up on so many levels but its just youtube comments so won't really make a difference. I'm also disgusted by the fact that people are literally laughing at his reaction to finding out she had passed away. It plays into the same narrative that juror was talking about, everyone wanted him to be guilty, regardless of the evidence and expert testimonies. Regarding her drug use. I was prescribed a benzodiazepine med to deal with my anxiety. One day, I took literally one more than prescribed and blacked out. It was figured out by parents that I had taken my entire monthly quantity straight after I blacked out. I don't remember a single thing from that day, including getting in my car and driving to a friend, and having a serious accident on the way there. I can easily see how she could get into the position of doing what he claimed she did, considering she was pretty much walking with a drug dealer's supply in her bloodstream. I hope he is innocent and gets justice one day. PS: I am off benzodiazepines, and will never touch it again.

Dubuque has always been one of the most corrupt cities my lawyer told me this

Just gotta say for all the sub-humans saying "Look how relived he was when he heard she didn't die, that proves he didn't do it" No it proves he was already worried about going to prison for murder and then he thought it would be knocked down to aggravated assault.

It’s not a planet. It’s a plane.

The documentary got that all wrong. The second trial wasn’t even in Dubuque. It was in Clinton iowa

For me it was the fact he was wrong about where she was stabbed. Granted I know alcohol and drugs were involved, I don't know whether he had the latter, but you'd think he'd know which part of her he put the knife in.

@@Sage-Thyme Maybe he said stomach because it seems more plausible for someone to stab themselves in the stomach than it is to stab her heart and then stab her lung twice.

@@sparks1792or he was drunk and in a daze

The Supreme Court is currently filled with fascists better than that judge but not by much

@@Chris-qh5tz Yep. Recall he said she was stabbing herself

Last supper

How are you talking about a different upload? 🤔I didn't hear them mentioned an auntie in this case!🧐🤣💦🌱

@@95XOXO thanks. I left my phone on the table whilst I went to the bathroom. Must have been a quick comparison that I missed🤣

To those who missed it, see 47:49

@@millename i was enjoying the shock of people who missed it!!!! lol

What evidence you have that Sam was clearly suicidal. Oh and she was abusive? Yes, she had mental health issues. Yes, taking drugs. These facts do make it more possible than many other cases that it may be true that she stabbed herself but I didn’t not see evidence of what you said or that she absolutely she did it. I still don’t know. Would need to hear what presented at trial and make decision based only at that. I would hope becomes crystal clear. Such heavy obligation. Don’t want killer to get off and don’t want put innocent person in prison.

@@traveltmthere is a 1 hour video if u watch it u can see the evidence

@@traveltm Her text's showed signs of self-harm and violence. The knife incident with her ex shows violence. Fontae recording her as she comes at him violently shows violence. There is definitely evidence there. I don't know that he is innocent but there is doubt that he is guilty. That doubt is what is supposed to be needed to be acquitted.

@@traveltmshe also told personnel she was suicidal every day…

@@traveltmright she was very suicidal also she had a tendency of mixing her medication with alcohol which can affect the use of the medication. he didn’t do it and it shows with evidence and with his emotions .

they were sure he did it that's why .. but yeah it was lame they lied about her being ok twice

They think he's a suspect and want to see how he reacts.

If he is guilty he deserves an Oscar for that performance. I have never seen anything like it

He was faking it.

@@_lithp you would be like those pos jurors, stay away from anything involving the justice system

His behavior in the interview didn't really reflect what I usually see in guilty people either. He was super relaxed, open, relieved when he heard she was ok. Usually when hearing a victim is going to make it, guilty suspects I've seen usually fake relief but close themselves off - but he started saying he never wants to see her again and remains open. I'd say the only type of person who could pull this off would be a psychopath or a sociopath, but there would be signs of that in his everyday life... Im only halfway thru this video typing this so maybe there are... but if he's lying, then he missed his call as an actor.

@@_lithpcan you defend that argument?

Unfortunately to them he is a black man and the victim is a white woman. So there you go.🤷🏽‍♀️

Neither am I.

same

I am not convinced of innocence either.

Me neither there’s lot of reasonable doubt I wouldn’t have convicted based on what has been presented here. But I don’t know what the jury was privy too to consider their verdict . Sad case all around .,,,

What's the point in a jury if one juror feels "disrespected" and decides he won't convict to get even with the others? Listen to Andrews words, he took things personally and he showed his bias. There's always three sides to the story and we only heard from Andrew who would of course paint himself in the best light and make everyone else look bad.

@@bdawgy101And the other juror who was bullied into changing her not guilty verdict?

Yes, the case does sound rather suspect, but being able to get rid of problematic jurors is still a good thing. There have been dozens of cases of jurors needing to be removed for any number of truly disturbing reasons: jurors have sexually assaulted other jurors, had heart attacks, friends have gotten lucky and gotten jurors on their friends' cases, we've even found mafia plants in juries before. Imagine what some of the seedier people you've met or seen online would do if they had total immunity to getting kicked off a jury.

a unanimous

I think a compelling piece of evidence is how little blood was on his clothes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So you think he’s innocent or guilty?

also they were like “he sent 8 messages in 2 hours” like i would too if my drunk partner started an argument then ran off

@@SierraHutchens what’s your opinion, innocent or guilty?

Nah, the texts were very manipulative and weird

@@andrewdowell2663 Go back and read your messages to your exes when you are mad... We all sound suspicious when we're MAD. lol

Could be bullshit but I think it's in the hopes of keeping the person on the phone as long as you can to gain info/help with CPR instructions. If you don't confirm anythings on the way the person might be liable to hang on and keep talking

Because when people hear help is on the way, they may not hear the second part about needing more information and hang up. That happened on the call in this case once he heard confirmation they were coming.

@@MatchaLeafThat’s right.

It should be assumed if you have told them the address.

I'll never understand why people think screaming and yelling is going to help them in an emergency situation. Speaking as calmly and clearly as you possibly can will help save precious seconds when contacting emergency services. Not screaming like an emotional wreck. Save it for after you made the call.

What woman? Do you know her name by chance?

They get a court appointed Atty anyway

Unfortunately there are plenty of naive people out there that still believe police are there to help you. Combine that with an extremely distressed emotional state and all of a sudden you don't think clearly.

​@tannerb1527 This guy doesn't deserve any help...tf are even talking about?? You want to help the murderer??? Seek mental help for yourself...

@@GhostBooberrylots of it

They don’t understand that the detectives can lie to them and pretty much say anything. If I didn’t watch true crime content I would have never known they could lie to these suspects. I would have never known that if I’m completely innocent, I need an attorney more than ever. It’s easy for us to say that these people should “lawyer up” but I think a majority of people just don’t realize what can actually happen.

Please return back to third grade to learn proper grammar. Your third grade teacher failed you sweetie.

@@raeray8245lol, you’re lucky you didn’t get censored

Judges rarely lose their jobs even if they really mess up. There's a whole bunch of videos on RU-vid about it. Different judges like that

.12 is tippsy not blind drunk especially a guy that size

​@@johnwhorfin5150 He was a .12 when they tested him. Imagine how drunk he was at the time, given the time it's been since the incident and the fact that his adrenaline was pumping pretty damn hard. Throw in the fact he watched his girlfriend stab herself, it's entirely reasonable to believe he doesn't remember everything correctly.

When I'm in a stressful situation, such as a fight with someone else who is drunk, you could ask me questions later that I'd probably get wrong. I don't buy that this boy killed the girl. Period.

@@juliepearce6667she stabbed herself fatally twice??

@@shannongaines5474i mean she did have a mix of drugs in her system. xanax and alcohol mixed make you act incredibly recklessly. all that mixed with bpd, i could see it happening.

Sometimes people lie, I do as well just so others can hear what they want, and make yourself look good at same time. Then again, could be true and knowing people with bi-polar disorder and that amount of drugs and alcohol can EASILY flip a switch. No one is cured of mental disorders, they can come back if you let them.

Yeah, day before I was discharged from therapy my score was a 5. 3 days later I attempted suicide and tried to admit myself into a psychiatric ward! Shits beyond crazy, I can personally relate to her and I know people like us can flip like a switch unintentionally just cause that's how our brains work, which sucks to be fair.

@@AJSketchesyou’re bipolar, & a danger to society. I’m sorry if this sounds harsh but you need to be in some type of institution where you can be monitored by a psychiatrist & have someone make sure you are actually taking your medication instead of just taking your word for it. We both know you’ve lied about taking your medication in the past… with various excuses & reasons as to why…

OMG! I was thinking the exact sma thing. I have watched way too many of these videos.

@@AJSketches I'm glad you weren't successful. Stay strong.

Yeah agreed. Doesn't mean he's *innocent*, we may never know for sure, but legally? Most definitely not guilty.

I wonder if that’s from the shows entire show destroying Sam’s character like a good defense lawyer would do. Know all the facts before saying something so ridiculous

​@@jasonsmitty.1057 they didn't "destroy" her character. She was unstable, depressed, and stated that she would k*ll herself. People sometimes do what they said they would do when in the worst circumstances possible. I'm not saying he isn't guilty, but her behavior definitely leads to reasonable doubt. She wouldn't be the first person to st4b themselves.

Agreed

⁠@@jasonsmitty.1057 I think the bigger issue with this video is the narrator trying to psychoanalyse an intoxicated man! Without taking into account what they said about her ideations; there’s enough reasonable doubt. They interrogated someone who had been drinking all night, there’s going to be slight discrepancies in his version of events.
