WI v. Jeffrey Dahmer (1992): Prosecution Closing Argument 

Watch the FULL TRIAL of WI v. #JeffreyDahmer (1992) on #CourtTV Trials #OnDemand www.courttv.com/trials/wi-v-dahmer-1992/

One of the most comprehensive, competent closing arguments I have ever witnessed.

The whole argument about being able to confront a man who is holding a knife is accurate, at least you are able to fight for your life as opposed to not even having a chance to fight for your life because you've been drugged, this portion of his argument was absolutely brilliant and true.

I don't think a lot of people realize his trial wasn't to prove guilty or innocent. He confessed 💯 to everything and even told them about 5 murders they didn't know about. This trial was to determine was he insane or not

You don't have to be out of your mind to kill someone. You just have to have no value assigned to that human life. A sociopath feels no value for human life. That's Dahmer. Sociopaths are also selfish and have no regard for the needs for others. But they're not insane.

I was almost in tears listening to the Prosecutor speak for the victims and how Dahmer didn’t even allow them a fighting chance to live 💔💔💔‼️

You guys are the real MVP’s for uploading this trial 🙌🏼 thank you thank youuu

We don’t see alot of prosecutors these days with some much fluidity and story telling. He was a true professional

Mr McCann handled this case with integrity, compassion and respect. I can fully understand why he was DA for so many years. The people of Milwaukee couldn't have asked for a finer man for the job.

This lawyer is amazing

Love how the prosecutor made Jeff feel like a weak punk because he had to drug these men so they wouldn’t have a chance to fight for their lives. A lot of them would have been able to whoop Jeffreys a$$ and he knew it!

This lawyer was incredible!

What a trial lawyer he is wow! Captivating ,effective ,truth

These testimonies and documentaries are not to “glorify “ this monster. Some of y’all are so closed minded . A lot of people are interested because of the Psychology of it, how he went so long without detection , who these victims were and to mourn them, educating themselves on the things that can really happen out here. It’s just like watching the news and wanting to know details….Ain’t nobody tryna glorify a killer. Sit down😒😒😒

Criminals need to take responsibility for their crimes.

... this lawyer is excellent, as well as passionate.

My mind blown he explained it all.

If Dahmer ever invites you for a courtroom lunch break at the local raw seafood bar, just say no.

God this man is good .I love him. I don t think anyone else could have been a better prosecuter

Jeffrey is so disgusting. This lawyer took his time to expose just how sick he was. Jeffrey was NOT a victim, never was hit by his parents, never sexually abused. He had a childhood most teenagers would dream of. No responsibility, catered to, given freedom to do whatever he wanted.

I want to know what was on Dahmer’s mind during this explanation so bad.

WHAT AN INCREDEBLE LAWYER!

"All of us gotta try until the day we die." "We gotta try."

This prosecuting lawyer is fabulous...♥️🌎

He did a great job prosecuting this case.

Brilliant prosecutor!

They need to show this closing arguments in LAW SCHOOL this man McCann broke this down to a T!!! He could have just said a few paragraphs she let the jury decide he basically said f*** this personal im gonna punish this "punk"!!! I was in Jr High when this happened!!! McCann is a legend to this day for this!! ✌🏾

Can’t even feel bad for Dahmer. He didn’t have a horrible childhood at all, he’s just pure evil.

RIP TO ALL THE VICTIMS👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏👼🙏

He knew exactly what he did

The judge mannerism in the background tells it all !

I didn't know the extent of his crimes until I seen this. Very disturbing & never expected to watch this.

The Best Closing Argument Ever 👏.. Everything He Said Was Fact

thank you for uploading the trial thank you

He was not what you can call sane in common sense of the word, but he was not legally insane.

The DA laid it out in detail.

I respect that the prosecutor handled the sexual content tastefully. It would have been really easy to just get up there and fill the jury with disgust, but he treated it matter-of-factly.

He got his in Prison

What an attorney.

This prosecutor on point 🎯🎯🎯

Hopefully the money made from this movie will go to the victims families

“I’m 55 and still have a few I haven’t satisfied “ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I lisened to this trial on radio , WLS out of Chicago. It was three weeks .I felt he was sane at the end of it

It seems like he had a lot of money or enough for alcohol rent and to pay for enticement

All of his victims did not deserve this but the one that is particularly devastating is the deaf guy, Tony. So heartbreaking. God bless him & his family. As for Jeffrey, his father tried to help him but obviously Jeffrey and his mental health was not ever treated and how terrible that this could of all been prevented. It's sad all round. At least the signs, people's worries and police are more aware these days. 😑

If I was juror my mind would have been made up based on what was in his refrigerator yuck 🤮

Monsters are real trust no one period

Scary killer. Great lawyer. Fabulous

How is dahmer sane if he couldn't separate real and imagined? The guy literally bought yellow contact lenses and wore them so he would feel like Emperor Palpatine.

His statement to the court on his previous conviction proof just how evil and calculated this murderer really was. He is a manipulative monster. He knows that he can fool and manipulate everybody he encounters with smooth well spoken words. He fooled a lot of people in this life, and got babtized in jail, became a Christian, but I think it is all fake. He truly believed that he can hide his evil from Jesus and The Creator. I think he got a nasty surprise in the afterlife.

For someone who didn’t like killing he sure was good at. Jeff’s lawyer should’ve been locked up too.

Here in 🇬🇧Netflix has just recently released Dahmers crimes etc so I e so far watched the first episode yesterday which shows some sections as to how his turbulent life started as a strange kid and his father introducing him dissecting insides of possums etc and his fascination 👀 So weird and gross 🤷🏽‍♂️🇬🇧

The irony at 1:56:15 of the prosecution lawyer talking about Dhamer dismembering a fifteen year old boy, while the defense lawyer sat next to Dhamer yawns.

¡ Bravo, counselor ! Excellent and thorough case presented and closing argument given. The penalty phase of a murder trial, post conviction is difficult on everyone. I had to testify in the penalty phase of a murder of a relative by another relative. I knew my testimony would determine if this relative would be sentenced to 20 years in prison or admitted to a psychiatric facility for an undetermined amount of time and possibly released after as little as a year. 😭🙏🏽💙 The jury decided in favor of the prosecution. I’m dreading the release of this relative which may happen next year.

Great prosecutor, controlled and calm yet Ye drives the point home efffectively

What a waste of time and money. Overwhelming evidence plus a confession. Life in prison. simple.

Brilliant 🎉

The behaviour panel breaking down Dahmer is amazing. Highly recommend it 🙌

I now feel that I know a bit too much about the prosecutors sex drive. God bless him.

If this trial isn’t only to prove if he was insane or not then this trial was a waste of time. He had bodies in his fridge. GUILTY

He wasn't insane he was just as smart as bundy

Was the judge sleeping wth

The two woman lawyers beside him with pens in their hands have some balls.

car ownership and use can protect and save your life.

Raise your hand if you think JD was truly POSSESSED. 🤷‍♀️

I like the Domino's add before this video! Amazing product placement 👌

Jeffey Dahmer In The Chocolate Factory

Maravilhoso trabalho do promotor ! Isto é estudo para as futuras gerações de advogados.

Wasn't he killed in prison

That's the word right there. Selfish. I could describe all men this way, not in the same way Jeff is but.. definitely selfish.

Es un material tan rico en evidencia,sería tan necesario que estuviera subtitulado en español 🙏🇺🇾

Well I think he was thinking if he drugged them he did not have to fight with them. Like most of the killers that used some kind of drug.

All they really had ot do is read the confession and state the evidence with pics anyway. I dint think someone acting like that when caught will likely deny things with a human head in the fridge....

JD was absolutely out of his mind to have done these things, insane? Yuo

Is there a video about the defense closing statement?

He was definitely a sick man even if he was trying to hide! How can he be a normal man!

I wanna see the video where JD gives statement.

I din't agree this man is not possibly sane to do what he did! He was a very sick man!

What is the name of the prosecution lawyer?

Interesting trial,but men and their comb overs ! Their should be a law against that.

0:24 this is just crazy…

He never sought to escape responsibility though.. he wanted the death penalty

Good job pro.

He made sense until he repeated it 50 f*cking times

tI live in Milwaukee and lived in Milwaukee back then. The prosecutor E. Michael McCann was a racist sob. He was not sympathetic to any of the victims nor their families. The only reason he prosecuted this case is because it was world wide attention. He could care less about the victims. Horribly horribly racist. I mean racist to the nth degree. Those cops on the scene of that little Asian boy and threatened to arrest the Black lady that had initially called the cops were fired and then reinstated and one just retired with full benefits in 2017. There is so much back story because I lived through those times in Milwaukee where blatant racism towards marginalized groups especially Black people was socially acceptable by the lawmakers downtown. Horrible horrible times and Dahmer took full advantage of it.

Hey, relax I just want to take some pictures and that smell is just bad pork chops my grandma sent me.

Everywhere i look there a Dahmer video in these days. Why?

If dahmer plead guilty then why was there a need for this circus?

Why did I get adverts for KFC whilst watching this? 🤔

Who is LP?

Wow wow that's interesting

This guy is crazy, they should make a series about the things he did

👀👀

I find it hard to believe he did his crimes primarily for sexuall gratification, and that he "hated no one of his victims" , there may have been a small sexuall component to his crimes, by that I mean power and control and dehumanizing his victims. The fact that He mastrubated over his victims inner organs, sounds more sadistic and power seeking then purely sexuall to me. His fellow inmates have also witnessed to that Dahmer explained why he did his crimes and that there was anger and resentment in his voice, he said allegedly that "why should i not be proud of what I did, I only did what had to be done by taking these trash of people's worthless life's" and also using racial slurs about his victims. He was a master manipulater and quite intelligent, I would not trust his court testimony of feeling remorse and being sorry for what he did. I believe he was proud and being in the spotlight and famous for being so horrible gave him a sense of pride.

Prosecuter of the decade. He was boss

So why was there a trial if he confessed?

Hmmm he annoyed me re "Oriental" and "Asian male"...but he did a good job here.

OMG rambling on and on....at this stage I think his guilt is apparent.

I appreciate the state attorney because he is tough enough to tell the psychiatrists what's wrong with their judgements on Mr. Dahmer.
