Beyond me, couldn't stand going through his line of he was the checker. Ugh! He does however seem to be relishing the attention on the stand. He thinks he's going to sweet talk the jury....🙄
The defence keeps hiring retirees who now spend their time going around testifying to get money but lose their self respect, integrity and reputation in the process.
That poor woman suffered a lot. He was controlling, never satisfied in his jobs, in debt and killed his wife torturing her hitting over and over. I feel so sad for her suffering.
@@SieraAndreozzi where's my proof? She admitted she cheated to him. She told him they cheated. It was in text messages, emails and phone calls. Did you watch the trial at all? Of course she didn't deserve that. He also didn't deserve to be cheated on. I have a pretty good feeling if she didn't cheat she wouldn't have a corn rake sticking out of her back.
@@SieraAndreozzi oh wait. Sorry. I'm thinking of a totally different trial I watched at the same time as this. Haha. My bad. I don't really know this trial.
@@jeremysmith9694 that’s Todd mullis and Amy mullis that you’re thinking of. You should look up crime vaults videos on the Todd & Barb case because this guy is full of it. He tortured, strangled and beat that woman to death and then staged the crime scene.
You know, it's interesting... They are making a huge point about how they were hardly ever apart, he checked on her at least twice a day, etc. I don't know how the jury reacted, but to me, it sounds controlling....
When talking about his relationship I heard a few things he could have indicated resentment on his part. He said things like he always had to prepare her water for her... Btw That water bottle played alot into his story. When packing for the trip he said something like she had to have things this way or I was waiting for her to tell me whats what...etc. It actually reminded me of Chris Watts in that he may have publically appeared to be doing everything for her and the way she wanted but underneath was seething angry. Just something I picked up on from the way he described their relationship and how they worked together.
Paula Hinton I agree there is a few red flags I got also. He peed sitting down because she didn’t like that men stood up. Don’t believe him. If he did he was using it as a control. He also phoned her to often. He also picked her up dropped her of called her at her lunch break and when he went hunting he came home each night for an hour. To check on her. If someone is too good to be true! That’s exactly what it is!
@Paula - yeah that sitting down to pee and then actually telling that to anyone esp. Cops when that info was not necessary... alot of what he added in was not necessary but very telling.
Barbs neck....that's not a rash !! That is clawing with nails trying to get air !! Bless her heart.....she fought for her life !! Love watching the prosecutor show the bullsh't Dr SteVen spewed.
@@NewYorkCity1718 Yeah! That got my attention too! What? Is this, to him, beyond a woman’s place? I’d sure like to hear that one expanded upon!..🤷🏼♀️…✌🏼🇨🇦
Yes...he was like a toddler. Glad he's in his cage. I'm sure barb tiptoed around him for years and she just had enough. Once Todd realized he was not in control he lost it.
As a trial junkie, I've seen judges, as a matter of record, ask the defendant if they intend to testify or not. When I listen to this judge question Todd about his right to testify or not, I think I hear something in this judges voice that seems to know that testifying may not be the best choice for Todd. I think the prosecution did a fantastic job but, Todd didn't do himself any favors with the jury ( IMHO ) by taking the stand. Lie after lie and Todd couldn't even be consistent with his own attorney from direct to re direct.

Strange how a windscreen technician, driving to ‘pick up a truck’ to replace a broken windscreen (that not a soul knew about), has an accident involving his windscreen.. maybe he thought he knew better than the experts - or thought he could penetrate the screen with the pipe first time! Either way, Barb never ever missed calling her mother or her work BEFORE she was going to be even a minute late, yet no-one heard from her at all that morning?
@@Jane-nt3vy I’ve thought about this extensively. Most windshield replacement people also run a lot of insurance scams. Many people have been approached by someone at a gas station or something offering a windshield replacement. I believe that he left that morning with Barb to pull an insurance scam. They were probably driving around unsuccessfully until Barb got mad because she had to go to work. I believe they got into a physical altercation. I think she beat him up pretty bad. He then got out of the car and smashed that pipe through the window (probably actually hitting her in the face and lip). I’ve always said that if he told the truth, he would probably be sitting in jail for 15 years. I think it was an insurance scam for extra money that he wasn’t able to pull off. She got mad and was abusive. Her family backed him because they knew she was abusive. He got out of the car and bashed that pipe through the window killing her. His knuckles were probably all bashed in because he was hitting the windshield instead of her. Maybe in a fit of rage for her not wanting to help him with the scam. That’s what I’ve concluded based on countless hours of researching this case.
@@josephdale69 Yup. Peeing sitting down for years and having to check in midway through hunting trips is not normal. Have come to a similar conclusion myself.
The defense keeps hiring guys that sound just great until it comes to cross and then they crumble! This ER doctor didn't even treat the wife! What, they couldn't find the ER doc that did treat her? That doc prob wouldn't say what they wanted them to say even for $450 an hour!!! This guy was a joke!!! Then whiney man takes the stand. Big mistake. He is gonna get wiped under cross. How is he gonna explain the sand matching what is in the pipe in his trunk and the weeds closed up in the trunk? I'm still confused why they are still making a big deal about the mug when it had no DNA on it?!! This poor lady didn't have one second to herself!! Not even at work. He called her on her break to make sure she was there! He went to deer camp but went home at night to make sure she wasn't going anywhere or talking to anyone that he didn't want her to! Wtf!! She was watched 24/7 and she prob had enough of his whiney ass and was gonna leave and he wasn't gonna have any of that! And I watched a guy beat the living daylights out of a girl driving down the highway one day! I had 911 on the phone trying to get them to where we were so yes it can be done!!!
Well said. It's terrible how she had to die. He doesn't even have the guts to come clean as to what he did. She was beaten to a pulp and the evidence proves this yet this coward is probably living in his own reality and probably thinks his pipe story is true.
At first, I wondered why the prosecution didn’t object to these witnesses because none of them are experts in the litigation sense. Then I realized how good each one of them was FOR THE PROSECUTION ! Just let them keep rambling their way to a guilty verdict. ⚖️
Like when the defense hands him the 'mug' as a prop(?) Wth. Was waiting for the defense attorney to whack him a couple times with the pipe just for affect....and how the heck do you get 'abrasive impact' around your neck??? Huh?? He's insulting people's intelligence....
You should see the twenty-something millennial the state tried to pass of as a "dna scienst" omg. Could not even answer the very basic questions about DNA markers and probability statistics. You want cringe. Watch the prosecution's case. No motive. No opportunity. No theory as to what happened. Cops all lied, forced to admit it in the stand. Cop, re-branded as a "physics expert" did not even know the rate of acceleration of gravity. Witnesses all supported a singular narrative and broke easily on cross.
@@j.goebbels2134 no opportunity?? You mean while he was alone with his wife the whole time? That's the most ridiculous thing you've said yet 🙄 motive is unnecessary for conviction and could be any number of things. Explain to me the motive of all the serial killings in the world. Or mass shootings. Guess they should all go free since we don't know why they did it. Theory is he beat his wife to death and covered it up with a freak accident. But I'm guessing since you're all over the comments saying the same things over and over, even after having it explained for you, that you have some ulterior motive.
Too many inconsistencies and he can’t remember a lot that happened. Just because he didn’t beat her before doesn’t mean he didn’t do it this time. It only takes one time to kill😱 GUILTY H e shakes his head no a lot as if that helps him be innocent.
@@j.goebbels2134 Hey, you've been cheering this weasel for four years, but guess what? Your boy got sent to the big house, as he deserved. Get over it.
I bet some of this is true. They were fighting he pulled on to the side road she grabs the wheel he hits the break, she tries to put the car in reverse somehow trying to stop the car to get out & run. The car backs up, he gets out, she's scared can't get the seat belt off or is just getting it off & he drags her out of the car, they fall, she starts to get away, he gets hold of her & brutally beats her...
How disgusting - too lazy to update his CV and pots in it that he treated Elvis when he didn't. People like him shouldn't be allowed to be paid a fortune by defence lawyers to spout a load of bs in murder trials,
But we are all entitled to an expert if we commit a heinous act, (however, murder is one that most of us humans will never do) but especially if it’s an outlandish, highly improbable event, one that our peers will scarcely believe, than an expert like that Doctor is required. I found him likable and credible, and he is supposed to suspend all disbelief and suspicion: which, imo, he did! He must remain unbiased and present a plausible story..
He timed his breaks to match hers and called her during every break. Never apart except when at work. Leaving a guys' camping trip each night to "check on her". If he weeded the lawn she would weed by his side. This sounds suffocating. Poor lady.
@@j.goebbels2134 they weren't high school sweet hearts. She had a boyfriend for 3 years after they met. She was 16 at that time. He reportedly heard the boyfriend cheated on her. I'm sure he told her this. He manipulated her from the beginning
She grabbed that steering wheel, and they ended up stuck, they were fighting inside the car bad enough for her to try & get out of the car. But he grabbed her out of that car & pulverized her head. He was not going to allow her to get away.
The cross of ER Doc had me certainly putting my buttock muscles through a workout squirming in my seat😳 cringeworthy! Bet poor Steven with a V, coz they couldn’t afford a PH, wishes he took a pass on this gig. The prosecutor as cool as a cucumber had him on the ropes, floundering, and tore him to shreds without breaking a sweat.
@@BellaLeoLicorice I had the feeling he must have been paid very good to sit up there and blow his reputation as a Dr all to H!!! His "God complex" got taken down on that stand!! Poor fool...
I'm wondering why the defense would ask him about Elvis on his CV, when it turns out that it is a lie. What a stupid thing to do, discrediting your own witness like that.
The pre~era! Dear Dr. Just answer the question! Where’s the up~to~date Doctor, poor show!.......He’s obviously retired, omg he’s seriously driving me crazy!

I don't love this douchebag, but nine jobs between HS and age 46 is not a lot. Most people change jobs many times, for various reasons -- usually because they just don't like the job or because they find one that pays more. Also, this guy returned to the same job several times, which doesn't really count as a "new" job, and in fact, actually speaks to his having been a good worker. I have returned to work at a couple of my old jobs. It's nice to return to a familiar place and to familiar people who know and value me. I am considering moving back to the town where I own a home (I'm renting the house to a friend now), and I know that I will have a job waiting there for me if I want it. Btw, I'm a bilingual speech therapist, so I could work pretty much anywhere. I just like the place where I used to work.
@@Autumn_Forest_ ..what france, italy, germany,spain, china, japan, messco etc.? u know all those languages? u could work in all these countries ? bi means 2. so u could work in 2 of these countries ? only 2 ?
Right he was a fn weird man child this id what 18 year olds do. Im sure barb was sick of it. And then the one day she looks forward to to go camping he tells her morning of i cant call out. Why because this bum has too many call outs. Like what a fn child. I feel so sorry for her.
The prosecutor is awesome he sure did his homework. He made sure the doctor stated he was not qualified in blood spatter windsheilds and he has never been called as an expert witness in a crimnal case.. Did he (the husband) say he peed sitting down bc his wife didnt like guys that stood up and peed? For hygiene reasons? WTF? Why bring that up...
My guess is he's trying to come across as the loving husband who does anything for his wife. 90% of this direct examination is centered around him trying to come across as a good hard working and loving person who would never do what he is being accused of doing. Too bad for him the evidence proves he's a wife murdering piece of crap.
Cuz men with small penis's end up getting urine on the floor, toliet seat etc due to its shortness. I have a gay friend and that's why he says some men have to sit down and urinate 😁 Short men ain't got no penis 🎶🎵.
I don't understand SteVen's view on the jaw bruise. My ex husband punched me in the face, it bruised the whole left side of my face, to my ear and down onto the neck. I don't see how he can say a punch to the jaw wont go down and around.
Because the bruise is the same width down and under her jaw line. That doesn't look like someone punched her there. If someone punched her you'd think it would be thicker around, but it looks like a long thumb width mark. It almost looks like the same bruise that my nephew had from tubes being taped and ran to his mouth and nose.
First you would not have had time to react. You would simply cringe and grab the wheel even more tightly! Nobody would ever try to stop something travelling towards you at 90 miles an hour, for God's sake! Every driver who has been in a bind in the past knows this. There is simply no time to think and your instinct is to cringe and eventually brace.
Ha, the visual you provide even makes it more preposterous ,, about the only thing I do in cars when an unexpected event is eminent, is block/protect my passenger..right arm (in the USA driving in left seat) extends without thinking to shield /support/ brace passenger..
This case is so interesting - maybe all the non-fighting, he just blew. Just snapped... but I think that day, he just lost it. Poor Barb - it must have been so incredibly shocking.
This poor woman never had a bit of breathing room. Constantly calling her and never did I hear about being her alone with friends. By the sound of it she had to stick with him all of her time other than when she was at work and he even called her there. The way she was found after the 911 call was terrifying, positively beatened to death, she likely said no for the first time!
That’s has confused me from the beginning. If a truck is in front of you and a pole flies off of the truck it could come through your window-but one coming toward you ? I can’t see that happening!
@@annimclaughlin7520 I agree with you, that's been boggling my mind from the start. I'm sure many of us have driving been behind vehicles and had to brake to avoid bits of some idiot's load flying off, but I've never heard of of a vehicle being hit by something coming off an oncoming vehicle and I don't see how it's possible.
Isnt he sick so noticeable Watch when defence started putting up pictures of barb he looks at jury to make sure they was looking at him he puts on a big act
While Todd's story had the odd coincidence of having a windsheild broken on the way to fix a windsheild, I just realized another unlikely coicidence and that is checking on the neighbours house because previously a broken window caused "pipes" to burst. hmmmm, its almost like he made it up based on real objects that would have become part of his conscience that day. Like maybe he went there to pick up the pipe. They were just minutes from home and barb had that big mug full of water, maybe ice, there should have been an obvious amount of spilled water in the car but I never see any. I think this detail could have been mentioned but can understand how it would have been looked over.
Can't claim to know what happened, but my wife and I have been married for over 40 loving years. However, we've never ever considered "squeegeeing the garage floor together". Can't imagine being so crushingly close to another person. It would drive both of us nuts. Poor Barb and Todd ... how did they make it through 26 years together like that?
I’m an ER dr too, and what he’s testifying to regarding reaction to a rock coming toward a window is not within his realm of expertise. He’s guessing and speculating. The defense attorney who should have been objecting all over the place is useless. That coffee cup is too big to fit under the chin to break any neck structures, and the only way the hyoid bone gets broken because of its location, is by strangulation.
He snapped like a pee. He had controlled everything. He was losing control especially of his manipulation of barb. The more she tried to detach the more aggressive he got..imho...just my take on it. She was his possession.
Todd liked praise , lots & lots of praise. Todd had control issues . Something was happening at work & with this annual camping trip. Maybe controlling Todd couldn’t go because of work. Controlling Todd wouldn’t want Barb to go but Barb ALWAYS goes to this event. She looks forward to it My guess is, something already had Todd worked up , but he manages to control himself( somewhat) in most settings. He didn’t have to control himself with Barb, his wife of 20+ years. She could have been upset with him or trying to appease him. Did not matter. He was on the edge & anything she did was going to result with Todd exploding. As sad as it is, even Barb’s mom supported Todd & their kids . What else can she do since her only other support was now dead. If the kids support dad , that sends a message to everyone else. Sad , sick situation.
Mann this is infuriating... They're trying to make this guy sound like he lived the most perfect hallmark movie life. And his S T U P I D little "naive" voice...ughhh this guy is a disgusting person and he knows it. His little innocent face and his "umm...umm...umm" trying to make himself look like a perfect little angel smh... Lock him up and destroy the key!!
Maybe she was OCD and he got tired of it. Trying to.figure out why he killed her. My mom and dad were married 67 years before my dad died and they were together every day except while they were at work but I don't remember their relationship seeming weird like this one seemed. My mom and dad ADORED each other and wanted to do everything together but they never seemed weird about it like this couple. And he let barb help him flip houses but he didn't want women involved in his business. I'm confused.
I’m here because I’m an ardent Zellner fan. I have to say, watching this defendant I’m doubting her decision to represent him. He seems VERY guilty unlike all her other clients.
That is disappointing to hear. She does tell her potential clients that if they want her to represent them, they better be sure they're not guilty because she'll find out. If she is true to her word she'll find him just as guilty as everyone else and drop him. That would actually be pretty satisfying.
I can't get past the idea that the pipe was supposedly traveling 100mph. If the pipe flew off the back of a truck moving 50mph, it would have been slowing down. Then the defendant's car, also moving 50mph hits it. The pipe, when it was still on the truck was moving in the same direction, which decreases the impact force, wouldn't it?
The pipe was not supposed travelling 100 mph. Only the impact of the pipe would have the energy of an object (i.e. the pipe) travelling 100 mph hitting another object (i.e. the car of Todd) which is stationary. Because when two objects which are moving in opposite directions are hitting one another, the speeds of both objects are adding up in regard of the energy of impact, which is taking place. Doubelling the speed makes 4 times the energy. Three times the speed would result in nine times the energy.
THIS (what mo c said) -->> "when two objects which are moving in opposite directions are hitting one another, the speeds of both objects are adding up in regard of the energy of impact." So, if you and another car are both traveling at 60 mph and the two hit head-on, it's as if you each hit a wall while you were gong 120 mph.
Oh come on!! Solely this cheesy depiction of the defendant as a loving boyfriend and husband in a perfect little family proves that something is not right about the events. If facts were absolutely clear and consistent about the injuries sustained by Barbara, this would be completely unnecessary.
I bet Barb caught him talking to someone else online and she was going to leave him and tell everyone and he didn’t want everyone knowing his secrets. I think he got rid of his electronics that he was using to communicate so that it couldn’t be discovered.
This todd couldn't even shovel snow without Barb being at his side. He was useless without her. Good thing he's going to prison, maybe he'll find a wife there, of course, one he couldn't push around like he did Barb
I also can't believe they tried to act like restless leg syndrome is what made his toe tap during the entire interrogation. Restless leg syndrome doesn't make you do that.
It (RLS) certainly can, and does, although, in addition, he was clearly nervous, anxious and afraid (to say the least, and was mourning his wife, whether innocent or guilty of causing her death). He never attempted to hide his emotions, feelings and/or any signs or symptoms of what he was going through; he also stated he needed to take his medicine, Lorazepram (a benzodiazipene, so similar to Xanax, diazepam, etc.) at the beginning of the interview regardless of the fact they may have reacted negatively/judgmentally to that. He likely started 'self-medicating' after Barbara's death, if not before. No excuses, just reasons for some of his behaviour from a completely non-biased psychologist and body language/behavioural analyst involving micro expressions. In trials and in particular witness/suspect interview/testimony body language and micro expressions speak volumes whether the subject is cooperative or uncooperative or talks freely or stays silent within their rights.
Why does it matter what shift he worked and all that I mean I just don't understand it ain't like he was pretending he was at work when she got killed it's been wasted 15 minutes of my life listening to his work skills and where he worked and what he did but it's kind of crazy that she got killed by it going through a windshield and he does windshields
Counsel probably advised him not to, but he has the right to talk same as he has the right to not talk. I think like Watts he believed he’d gleaned enough nice guy credibility to dodge this-plus his weird family’s support.
Everyone is mentioning his smothering control factor. Is it possible he’s over exaggerating to try and come off as this loving, doting husband? But it backfired as it made him appear over bearing ?
