Sydney Powell's Teacher Testifies in Mother Stabbed Murder Trial 

Does anyone know why the words "So help you GOD" are no longer uttered upon swearing in?

@@debra7933yes the democrats had it removed saying court is not a religion.

@@coffeechi1869 I see. Thank you for the response.

​@@debra7933 I had wondered that, too. Unfortunate...

@@hollyjolly2066 It is unfortunate Holly.

Exactly

Yes.. how can u be smiling when u have killed ur mother 😢

She broke character, did u see her look bk at jury and got bk to being sad smh

Her brain is not like us so of course she gonna smile

I agree

Also when her grandma was asked if she thought sidney was faking she didn't answer was there a objection or what she answered the next question thou...

You have not represented that exchange accurately. You should listen to it carefully and quote it exactly. I listened to it and i believe she answered the question. The prosecutor accepted it.

Teacher sound like she one of that monster toy fools..

That teacher had such obvious disdain for the prosecutor It was patently obvious

Teacher forgot to add her "panic" attack & number vision on her recommendation letter..... Bravo Teacher of the Year. This women is so pathetic, just count how many times she stuck her thong out and smack her mouth 🐸🐊🦎🐍🦎

barely. 1 second smile out of hours and hour and weeks of trial. spare me

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. It was like flipping a switch 😳

I’m was hoping I also wasn’t the only one to notice that.

I was about to say the same thing. She appeared defensive … her entire demeanour changed. I feel like Sydney wasn’t prepared for the test and therefore used this teacher to get her out of it for now so that she’d have more time to study. To say that it was inappropriate to contact an administrator isn’t correct. She should’ve sent her down to see an administrator to discuss the situation instead of making another teacher ( colleague) feel compelled to move the test for her and to speak on her behalf.

She was very short and rude.

She was brusque in the extreme and was a different personality. I feel so sorry for the victim.

Exactly! Grant Amato and Joel Guy Jr are similar, but Chandler's case almost mirrors this case.

YES! I have thought the EXACT same thing during this trial ! Her and Chad have so many things in common.

💯

Kyle Navin, Erik Metzig, Tyler Hadley etc. It goes on and on with these people. Pure evil and violent

​@@kandylalandChris porco

Agree with all you said but the crying part . She tried to cry but couldn't get any tears . Fake crying.

Spot on! 🎯

She makes a terrible actress. That crying is a joke.

Absolutely! And it seems she might have been able to manipulate the teacher somewhat, bc she seemed a little bias to me.

Both parents were prominent in this neighborhood. Well known at the school. This girl got her way thru teen years. Couldn't handle it when no favors were given at a different level of education and she was suppose to do it on her own. Has a bother who lost his mother due to her rage...she's not mentally ill, just too pampered to be accountable as an adult!

Narcissist is the word you’re looking for. Psych0paths rarely k!LL their own. Narcs on the other hand are almost always the ones who k!LL their own family/spouses

Wth is wrong with that family. So weird 🤷‍♀️

They are a family of enablers!(imo)

Exactly. What is wrong with this family??? They bonded her out, no questions asked, and took her to live on the family farm. “It’s ok that you just murderized ur mother/bestie”.

Or this girl was in psychosis with schizophrenia, as diagnosed by a qualified professional, and the family could see and believe that. I'm shocked at how obviously unwell this young lady was (currently medicated, and will likely never be as she was before schizophrenia took hold), and yet how many people here don't get it or understand schizophrenia. Its very common for stress reactions to trigger the first episode of psychosis in schizophrenia at around this young ladies age. To kill her mother was totally out of character, yet very much in line with what a psychotic individual with paranoid and delusional thoughts would do. I wish more people understood the array of mental illnesses there are and how they can affect people. This case is absolutely tragic.

People are too quick to judge without a full understanding of psychosis mental illness

But for whom eyes she wanted to be perfect to?

Yup. Sociopath.

​@@sarahrean7174everyone. Sociopaths need to maintain their ideology of superiority.

@@Jenahh-ayeAgree!

I think the jury is going to fall for the mentalcase defense though as doctor Swales convinced me today! He was most credible with bipolar schizo-affective disorder. Just what I thought. A bipolar psychotic breakdown. I had a sister who did this but did not kill anyone luckily. It was a narcissist husband and I don’t blame her. I always vent she would kill me out of jealousy though with that untreated bipolar! She is very dangerous! Could kill like this girl if I confront her about anything. No excuse for murder though!

"I'm not an expert"

She wouldn’t be in court if she’d pleaded guilty. She pleaded not guilty.

She pled not guilty by reason of insanity.

Exactly!!

She also cut him off.

Absolutely agree

Miss Powell has mastered manipulation & had this particular teacher wrapped up in her farce.

My English teacher was my protector, my de facto counselor. She was my safe space. I suspect Sydney felt the same way about Ms. Milligan. And chemistry was my nemesis. I’d speak to my English teacher frequently about my dread of chemistry, my inability to comprehend it, despite hours of study. To suggest that Sydney hadn’t prepared for the exam is ludicrous. It doesn’t fit with her personality type at all. She would have overstudied, not “slacked.” And I suspect her friend suggested they go to Ms. Milligan’s office and Sydney just acquiesced. We view the world and the things that happen in it through highly personal lenses. I can’t understand your observations and I’m sure you can’t understand mine. But I think we can both pay attention to the MMPI-2.

She taught her to ski, so she got attached, but definitely, should have been a guidance counselor.

Because academia if full of tenured idiots!

That’s because it’s a Christian school, not a public school. Christian schools don’t even have to have real teachers.

What class was she in? Senior?

At minimum. But she knew she was lying

​@@truthteller9071🤔🙄oh really?

Good point.

Or an optometrist lol 😂

@@tamarevans9025 what does this comment even mean???

To the fullest!!! She in her mind ... probably thinks she will get out of this like all other life events.. oh I can't see the numbers... can I take the test tomorrow.. Smh

I actually don't think she will get away with it. She will definitely get a punishment however I don't believe it will be to the fullest extent of the law. I can't imagine a jury being fooled by this choir girl act.

Wow

@@RoxyLabassa-ti9nhToo late for that.

None of her family is okay with her killing her mother.

'Stefanophrenic', for sure, since I heard she idolizes the congresswoman from New York State and would like to be called Elise.

Nope, they don’t try and cover up their crime IMMEDIATELY. no this chick is your average narcissist. Wolf in sheeps clothing. And her parents did that to her!

I came here to say exactly this. She seemed downright hostile to me towards the DA.

It's called denial and enabling and I think it has a religious component

@@marilaucher9989 If you don't mind me asking, what religion is involved here?

@@smiley9872 in this instance the family was involved in strict Catholicism not that there's anything intrinsically wrong with being a Catholic but in this family's case they're in deep denial I think a good example that I could provide would be that there are two different kinds of priests some are actually psychologists themselves and have an understanding they need to take responsibility for their actions they just can't say five Hail Marys and Jesus will take the wheel okay other priests who have no moral responsibility and expect but they will automatically be forgiven with no accountability and no self-exploration these are the ones who become the pedophiles and the sexual abusers within the church and again it has been permitted because of the extreme denial existing in the church many priests were prosecuted decades after their crimes because of this pervasive belief that All Is Forgiven. A common expression you hear around some Christians is that it is righteous to turn the cheek but actually what they're really doing is turning a Blind Eye In some cases.

Maybe they don't want to lose another loved one... Brenda lost to death, and Sydney to prison.

@user-fe4wr8ce9z and you are presenting as offensive to the humanity community.

what’s the time stamp please?

Dupers Delight

@@levinshyeh2:42

So what? You know how long these trials are? Should she never smile again?! For the rest of her life?!

I wouldn't smile ever again if i was responsible for murdering my mother

Well said!

DID YOU NOT HEAR THE DOCTOR THAT SHE WAS STILL UNDER PSYCHIATRIC CARE?

Yep !

@@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya Yeah, scary, like an ordinary person, who didn't do anything evil. The Grandma said that Sydney is in charge of her own treatments, and follow it on her own, without help from anyone else.

@@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya umm yes, Yelly Mccrreep, The reason I specified in patient care. In -Patient. She's recieving out patient therapy since very early on, like a non snapped and lost it regular therapy patient. I'm recommending that actually criminally insane persons , require intensive live- in facility care. For years. If not life. They don't gore porn it up bludgeoning and stabbing and slicing someone up like this, and then suddenly get well enough for release outpatient in a matter of days, weeks or even months. It doesn't add up. It's very obvious that she's a sociopath but was never actually temporarily insane. Or she wouldn't have been well enough to stay w her granny within days. You don't snap, then just take meds and boom unsnap like that. That's not how any of this works.

And before neither

She was fairly quick to make up lies to try and cover herself. She knew exactly what she was doing, she's devious and I hope the jury are not fooled

Exactly.

@@rosiebuckley3575wouldn’t a schizo be all wh wh whaaat have I donnnnne. 😂

a huge expert witness that has worked for this district court literally testified that it was his opinion she was insane at the time of the act. y'all want justice but sometimes, life doesn't produce justice.

@@kirbcutscals well, I’m. Not watching the entire trial. Just clips. And an expert also said leticia stauch was insane with multiple personalities and that wasn’t true.

@@trinity2145 LMAO NOT WATCHING THE WHOLE THING --- OMG HUGEEEE Difference - and TOTALLY DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS!!!! YOU COULD EASILY TELL LETECIA WAS FULL OF BS!!!! GO BACK AND WATCH THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS CASE -- THE EXPERT WITNESS AND LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE WITH WACK LADY TO THIS MAN -- WACK LADY BEING THAT PSYCHIATRIST FOR LETECIA -- HOW CAN YOU DECIDE WITH WATCHING ONLY CLIPS?????

FOR ONE THING THIS WAS HER FIRST!!!! PSYCHOTIC EPISODE NO MEDSSS TO MAINTAIN BEING STABLE YOU HAVE TO BE ON ANTI-PSYCHOTICS!!! I TAKE 2 MY DAD TOOK MANY --

@@trinity2145 I think something happened the way she lost it, and afterwards too. We don't know how she's been acting for the past three years, but she's on meds now her grandmother said. I've seen a lot of mentally ill people, and they CAN appear normal, and then just lose it, especially under extreme pressure, stress, change, etc ... Same with TBI, Traumatic Brain Injured, Dementia. It's hard to know, if we aren't around her day after day.

We all? No, you can't speak for the majority!! You didn't live alongside her. Like the rest with their assumptions, you really have no knowledge whatsoever.

That would be almost everyone in her age group 😢

Totally agree.

Think your generalising as not everyone cries and gets their way

The teacher arranged it for her instead holding Sydney accountable to speak to the other teacher!

There is nothing wrong with Sydney

He was brilliant my opinion and feel for his questioning hook, line and sinker. She painted herself into a very small corner and any credibility she may have had, she lost.

It reeks of BS. She probably didn't study, simple as that.

@@tamarevans9025 This is what I think, too.

Manipulative even then

@@tamarevans9025Lmfao that girl has been manipulating ppl since she popped out of the womb. The way she is so reliant on her daddy and the way he coddles her tells us everything we need to know about how she got this way. Make a fuss and watch everyone nearby do backflips to appease you. Good ole narcissist.

Exactly! I hate that she was able to Fake schizophrenia - not difficult - & whatever quack psychiatrist diagnosed her! This is very much a spoiled brat who is too prideful to admit wrong! She was so close to her mom but acts like all is good! She needs life in prison at the least!

I read her father made calls to have that arranged and requested no charges or trial. Just wanted her to be treated by a psychologist, which is strange. There's a second child, a son. that lost his mother due to Sydney's actions. Not much mention of him at all. This girl raged and killed her mother!

The family supports her and definitely forgive her why can’t you sounds like god told them it wasn’t her fault but her illness

Def shouldn't have someone FREE that has the capacity to suddenly go off and murder someone when they're caught failing college. Who knows what else will trigger her. I personally wouldn't want to live in society with someone like her. That's scary.

She’s been coddled all her life. Can’t believe Brenda’s mom is so accepting of the vicious murder of her daughter!! 😱

Soooo biased. It was actually annoying

Exactly! More enablers at school!! And I’m so sick of hearing about what a great student Sydney was… no one cares!! Ted Bundy was intelligent too!

They're all delusional. Stepford wives

She had good grades, her dad said the same.

@@feddavandermolen-quest8388I wonder if she actually earned those good grades on her own merit...doubt it.

It relieves stress.

It’s a stress related reflex in some people, relax Karen

I laugh and joke in traumatic situations. Understand that people handle stressful situations differently.. it doesn’t mean they don’t care or are indifferent about what happened… get over yourself

Life goes on. This is quite a while after Brenda passed on. There’s nothing wrong with being happy or jovial. She was focused on answering the questions. They didn’t ask her to show how she feels about murder And to show how she mourns dead people !

She only giggled like a schoolgirl to help her bestie (Sydney) but what a huge change in attitude when the DA walked up there. This has nothing to do with stress relieving as others are claiming. Very sad.

Yes a totally different attitude with the prosecution, could she purse her lips any thinner.

@Jo.lawler such special treatment given to this girl and she gets to leave court, and live free on grandma's farm. Mental illness my butt. She's sane. She's a manipulator and a narcissist. RIP Brenda

A complete turn of her behavior. Jeering at the Prosecutor

Came here to say the exact same thing. Her jovial nature completely changed, her looking off and the pursing of her lips,I'm almost positive that the defense gave her the questions to expect from them, she clearly seems defensive.

She must be getting paid lots of money

That's why she is in the situation she's in

@@Monalisa0622Exactly!

the way she is being "coddled" is beyond strange right? I believe it is because the amount of support in this very small courtroom making a point to her perhaps that they still care about her? I dont get it. I am sure they realize there is no way out for her she is going to either Marysville or Heartland Psych and Marysville would be better im sure.

Like he dad and family are so pathetic

What get me everyone thinks they no her it just Btk and happy face etc serial killers Ted bundy all was loved good ppl but had another side just like he’s daughter he defends her and he’s and denial but the victim didn’t get no live by her family and he’s family pathetic to believe this narcissistic it’s pathetic omg just like Ted bundy Btk and other serial had a good IG but hide a big secret they crazy

I don’t see anger and contempt. Cross examination is a little different from direct, so she is perhaps more defensive, that’s all.

This prosecutor does an excellent job of being courteous and calm with each witness. I can definitely see the teachers contempt for him, as well. This mother was murdered in a brutal way. Why is everyone trying to go out of their way to protect the defendant? She may have appeared to be perfect in high school, but something seriously changed that, and I personally don’t believe its a sudden onset of schizophrenia

He knows people high up in politics from what I've read.

Bingo!

Oh they have some legit connections. She got bail right away, cop buddy called the dad first, judge doesn't make her look at her own carnage. I hope the jury is as fed up with the special treatment as the world and finally give her the accountability she earned.

Yes! Body language very closed off.

I dont agree, defense was asking more warm memory type questions, prosecutors not so much, but she did grin and laugh for him a few times.. Not much body shown to view body language.

His line of "questioning" is an attempt to put words in her mouth. I'm surprised the defense attorney isn't objecting to this line of "questioning". He's annoying.

​​​I'm surprised the prosecution didn't ask to treat her like a hostile witness. He was brilliant and did nothing wrong. Did you ever notice her have auditory hallucinations? Did you ever notice her blackout in class. She knew she gave a W for the prosecution. He did not lead the witness in any possible way.

^^^^This 100%^^^^

She is NOT another schabusiness!!

Not necessarily. Mental illness often appears in late teens, early 20s.

@@shastajustice3753She was still wrong about her collegiate success, though.

Yes, I noticed that too.

Yup!! They all stand behind this girl.

Yes! Very defensive.... I see an agenda

For sure! I hope the jury notices the daggers coming from little miss perfect over there towards the prosecution

She became a successful murderer unfortunately!

can you explain what you mena by that?

Agree, I’m appalled she hasn’t spent one day in prison! Her grandmother is disgusting too, it was her daughter murdered and all she seems to care about is that spoiled brat!

They feel liable for not treating her and there religious beliefs painted this scenario imo crazy most people wouldn’t be this forgiving we all know how teenage girls and moms could fight none go this far , I don’t doubt she needs mental help .

That’s ridiculous!

​@@Char_43why?

​@@RoxyLabassa-ti9nh🤔

🤔

@@RoxyLabassa-ti9nh Is this the privilege and coddling?

I have that same question

I think everyone in the room laughed, idiot.

Because they have a 📺 channel available to you

Wait a min what the hell was that at 10:15? 😮 He asked her a question, she was about to reply and someone told him something He then says he has no further questions?

@@johnjacobothere was an objection and the judge sustained the objection.

@@holt7088 you sound stupid af they have a whole archive of full length trials

​@@BrideOfChuckyywhere? I've searched utube and rumble I can't find full days trials just highlights 🤷‍♀️🇬🇧

I agree They seemed really hostile towards the DA

They clearly don't know her, and never did.

This witness was testifying to her behavior. The point is to show that she was not violent, so this violent act was out of character.

@@GH-oi2jf Yes, and they did that very well, but their's something wrong with the picture they paint of her. A quiet, sporty, religious, best friends with her mother, Mini-Brenda, good grades, etc. Never had a fight, whether verbal, or psycical, no raised voices. That begs the question, why don't we see the normal behaviour of a teenager in Sydney, during he teen years? The way in which she murdered her Mother was filled with hatred. Then, think back on the testimonies of the witnesses, quiet..., "Is she brewing? Surpressing her anger? Then I come to the conclusion, that the folks around her, didn't know her, and that infuriated her. That was her teenage rebellion. All in a few minutes of rage.

​@@GH-oi2jfShe also testified that SP did NOT have noticeable mental health issues, including hallucinations, blackouts, hearing voices etc.

So you remembered her as quiet, and that’s why you don’t expect it from her? Interesting analysis

@@edjohn5114 It’s not that I didn’t expect it because she was quiet, just not the type of person that she gave off. She wasn’t like a strange kid or anything. Just a normal high school girl more on the shy/quiet side.

That’s how people described Chris Watts. You never really know a person !

Read about covert (vulnerable) Narcissism. Killers aren't all weirdos either

@@dee8714Same vibe, so sweet and perfect until someone saw that they weren’t.

@@lovepet4565So no one ever killed anyone in your day.

stop hating on people who work hard and provide for therir children in ways you never had

You're right .. she's not fixing her hair but having her nails 💅 done shows who she really is

Hair too

Such a shame that her Mom (who she brutally murdered) isn't alive to get a manicure. Yeah, everything Sydney has done bothers me.

No. It's self care.

It doesn't bother me that her nails are done. I wouldn't even notice it if it wasn't pointed out . The part that bothers me is how her family still supports her. My family never gave me that kind of support about anything. I guess I didn't have a good family. None of us ever killed each other. I just walked away and got on with my life. It must suck having a high GPA and being in prison for the rest of your life.

No-one is perfect!😝

Her safety nets weren't there anymore

You are RIGHT ON :) Since my antennal TV isn't showing this Trial, I was trying to find out what has been going on. GREAT COMMENTS on a web site I just found: WEB SITE: Websleuths; Brenda Powell 50, stabbed to death by daughter Sydney. . .CLICK this subject in BLUE. READ COMMENTS from Teachers from High School and COLLEGE. Comments state LIKE YOU'VE STATED; "she was used to being SEEN as great and successful and when SHE couldn't DO something SHE MANIPULATED "PEOPLE" INTO "HELPING" HER FIX/GET AROUND IT". One Teacher states he/she does write Recommendations for College Students. They NEVER know what happens after that. A College Students needs 3 recommendations and they are written "generically" because they don't KNOW the student/family, very well? ? College Teachers :) :) :) :) tell IT like you stated in your comment and WHAT THEIR COLLEGE DOES FOR NEW STUDENTS and SUGGESTS to go to community college. . .that may be EASIER. . .than COLLEGE COURSES that are more difficult for a person like Sydney Powell. "Interesting" comments and "INFORMATIVE" to HELP Understand Sydney Powell TYPE of student(s). The College Teacher DID STATE. . .Sydney Powell Type of student(s) SHOULD BE "INVESTIGATED" IN HIGH SCHOOL and parents TOLD. . .before going off to College where these Types WILL REACT like Sydney Powell did.

She seemed to be having a good h.s. girl giggle session with the defense attorney though. She lost all credibility in my opinion.

Exactly!

If you listen to the question carefully, she answered it satisfactorily. The questioner accepted her answer.

Her Mom's last words stuck with her: "Get out!"

Mental Health issues can arise at anytime in life though- some people cope with the symptoms for years and aren’t diagnosed until they have a MH break. But I get what you’re saying, I’m not entirely convinced she didn’t do this intentionally either

Schizophrenia tends to start presenting in adolescence and early adulthood. She went undiagnosed for until the tragedy happened. Yes, people can indeed go undiagnosed for a while. There are many other cases like this.

@@yorkierussell9255 true.

@@kk3940 right. not sure how im feeling about this.

It's an excuse.. the art of avoiding accountability

She consulted with Letecia Stauch 😮

She is not psychotic, schizophrenic or schizoaffective! Dr. Lieberman nailed her! We don’t need psychologists. She needed to be evaluated by a psychiatrist or LCSW who has many years of working with the severely and persistently mentally ill. Not a psychologist who works in sports med and is a hired gun for court!😂

According to reports she was researching how to kill someone and how long it would take someone to bleed out in the days up to the murder. She was planning a murder.

To make Sydney seem like a innocent lovely girl that wouldn't do harm to anyone. Stabbing and beating to death her mother, is irrelevant because Sydney is such a perfect person.

She is a defense witness. The defense wants to show that violence is out of character for her. They will argue that her assault on her mother was a psychotic break.

Well all the lies, before and after that killing is not mental illness. Scheming right up to the point she was arrested took some thinking. Lied and pretend to be her mother when the Dean called back after 3 times, lied to her father when he called to speak to the mom, broke out the window, lied to police when they arrived. Doesn't sound like bi Polar-Schizophrenia disorder to me, just a lier and a murderer in the middle of rage!

LOL

The teacher is kissing her butt...why?

Thissssssssssssssssss! Huge red flag

This "community" that allows children to ride by the seat of their parent's clout is sickening. All involved wanted everyone to be perfect, in their perfect little "I've skied since I was five" world, and that's how killers are created!

She wasn't prepared and lied to get her way. She learned this behavior worked and she us still using it.😢😢😢

Listen to the testimony again. Ms. Milligan asked Sydney if she wanted her to speak with the chemistry teacher, not the other way around.

So you don’t think she deserves to just get mental help .

The prosecutor actually did really well pointing out that the teacher is trying to say she knew Sydney was sooo mentally ill, but then why didn’t she report it? get her help? He’s doing well i think!

It’s a difference in legal terminology. Murder means a premeditated homicide that happened by a sane person. The verdict hasn’t come back yet on whether she was sane vs. insane. That’s probably why they’re not using the word murder at this point in time.
