Clumsy Teenager Who Murdered Parents Manipulates Multiple Juries | AJ Armstrong Case Analysis

[@GigiRulesTheRoost]

Wow, talk about a cold, snake-like person. His mother had his number. Very scary and sad.

[@o̸ණ]

His parents bought him a Mustang at 16. While he had the car, he was speeding everywhere, failing in school, smoking weed, sneaking out, unauthorized use of his parents' 💳, lying and his mother was onto all of it eventually. This is a guy who took 31 mins to call the police after "hearing" gunshots that he was so sure came from his parents' room even though his sister also lived on that same floor. How did the killer know where his father's gun was? And the notepad the note was written on was from a notepad that belonged to the Armstrongs. The police took 6 mins to arrive at the house soon after AJ called 911 when he claimed he heard gunshots inside the house. How did the killer have all that time to kill 2 ppl, write a note in the dark, leave the murder weapon behind and escape without tripping off the alarm. Mind you, AJ had to disengage the alarm for the police to enter the house which meant that the alarm was on the entire time. He passes his parents' room to get to his sister's room when his parents were the ones in greater need of medical attn given where he said he heard the shots came from. He didn't even open the door...nothing...to determine if there was even a remote chance that any of their lives could've been saved. The most audible part of the 911 call just so happens to be when he is trying to wake his sister up--excessively trying to sound like the Herculean big brother--while the rest of the call was mostly uttered in whispered tones.

The free on bond thing is part of the “due process” clause in the Constitution. You are not actually supposed to be considered Guilty until proven so in court.

Wouldnt you want to be considered innocent unless you were proven guilty.

He instead decided that he was too cool for school or rules or consequences and murdered his parents in cold blood. May his parents Rest In Peace.

I never believed Armstrong’s innocence. He had a major ego and clearly didn’t care about his consequences. What irritates me most is the lack of support (or lack of outrage) that the family has not shown for the oldest brother. When his mother and stepfather were killed, he spiraled into such a traumatic depression and had to be committed to a mental facility. Yet, in every interview, when they could’ve shown a small drop of fevered defense for him, silence…. Not a word about how being appalled that the courts want to go after him as the killer.

Great breakdown, as always. Doc. What stumps me is how’d he get away with firing the gun and the police found no trace of gunshot residue?

[@tynee123]

Omg! Same here! To the point that it has haunted me throughout this case! He was always so adamant that they wouldn't find any residue. I've considered that he could have already had someone inside of the house, lying in wait beforehand to do it for him, but when/how would they have gotten out? 🤷‍♀️ Ugh! 🤦‍♀️

[@ieshjust16]

​@@tynee123My mom said the same thing. She thinks he disabled the alarm and let them out.

[@ieshjust16]

He did wait 30 minutes to call 911 after hearing shots..

[@tynee123]

@@ieshjust16 It's the only thing that makes sense.

To be honest AJ Armstrong was clowning around in school not focusing on his school work His parents was strict & messing with drugs . I pray for AJ, & the family 🙏🏾 I was 24 when Antonio & Dawn Armstrong died by their simple son

[@marie.autumnleaf99]

As always, a great episode. Thank you Dr. Grande

[@tyanahutchins4264]

i have always felt he was guilty. this case gives the same feelings as the case of the Haldersons-young sons with parents willing to do anything for them who suddenly find themselves caught up in all their lies. the same with Chandler, AJ felt this was how he could save himself.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

His facial expressions and tone of voice alone told me that he was guilty.

[@dila4834]

😂😂😂 How smart! You can never be in a jury.

[@Scorch428]

I thought he seemed innocent in the interviews. But not mentioning you saw someone during the 911 call is the biggest giveway. How do you leave that out? Itd be the first thing youd say.

[@SheBySherry]

Dr Grande you described this whole guilty as he was. I believe he is guilty did kill his parents. For that he deserves life in prison. He is the ultimate deranged child not his brother. He needs to come clean and let his family know he killed his parents. His child needs to be told the truth as he’s older. His wife she needs to know he is a cold-blooded killer.

[@daisy4750]

Too late to teach a teenager responsibilities. It’s starts in pre-k and being consistent throughout the child’s growth. This way they don’t freak out when they really need to be responsible.

[@TheShaund]

The craziest thing about this case is his grandmother she refused to believe he did it after he killed her son

[@richardhart9204]

Why do murderers always fabricate the most crappy and obviously false stories?

[@ravenrozeb3790]

I so agree with Dr Grande. When I first heard this story in its entirety, my thoughts were that he killed them. Too many coincidences. Those poor parents went to bed thinking they were safe under the same roof as their spoiled son!! He comes off as a liar and an entitled little jerk believing he is the smartest guy in the room. Well, he just may be where he is now!!

[@Snakesnarl]

I wish dr grande would sprinkle in some analyses of individuals like he used to. I’d like to hear his thoughts on Hemingway

Oh Dr G you never disappoint and you are highly amusing thx u

[@thomasrussell4674]

I feel so sorry for the family. What the hell leads people to be bad like that?

[@Juke582]

Parents spoiling kids giving them everything and creating an overt narcissist monster 👹 do when they get punished or restricted they lash out! Narcissist kids from poor parenting is common! Giving g kids everything is a bad thing! Teaches very bad selfishness and to down others! And entitlement to take!

[@DigitalNeb]

What a monster. I feel so sorry for his family. They deserved better.

[@DowntownMeganBrown]

I google “donuts near me” He googles “car bombs” We are not the same

[@ToniMBullock]

This guy is such a sociopath that it’s scary. His family knows that he’s guilty too. They know the truth and are covering for him.

[@maryrichardson6029]

Always interesting Thank you ❤

[@manewland1]

Agreed, though that last detail about the break-in at the gym (by genuine mysterious intruders) is a very strange loose end. Regardless, thanks, as always, Dr. Grande!

[@Zeepjeliefs]

It's so weird... A lot of people allready have to miss their parents, a lot like me fear the day they are no longer here, and some kill their parents.... Crazy and unimaginable for me

[@mildredpierce4506]

I know his parents meant well but taking an item from one child to give to the other is cruel. The one the item was taken from may hold resentment against the other sibling because of favoritism.

[@daveatkins3568]

They look like a nice couple who were doing a great parenting job. Some kids are born bad. Very sad. 😎✌🏻

[@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis]

those emojis are somewhat off..^^

[@Juke582]

No they are not born bad!!!! They spoiled this kid enormously and gave him everything and one day restricted him and the parents created a narcissist psycho who murdered them out of selfishness and the entitlement they taught him!!! Creating a narcissist brat kid has serious consequences if not for parents certainly for anyone he is around in adult life!!! It’s common! Bad parenting in another form! Spoiled kids become overt selfish entitled narcissists! Monsters 👹 as adults putting others down and taking everything for themselves! Getting mad when anyone turns away!

[@sugahoney89]

​@@Juke582 huh?? So what about parents who give everything and restrict things when they become teenagers and rebellious..parents do start restricting a lot when a child has those teenage hormones and act out.

[@evelynwaugh4053]

There wasn't anything presented here to imply he was spoiled. Going to a private school, when a parent can afford it, is more about a parent appreciating a safe and academically enriching setting. Even Catholic and Christian schools are​ private. He may have earned the privilege of the car by working around the house, getting good grades, or whatever. That his parents imposed serious consequences for his drug use suggests that they had reasonable expectations and imposed discipline for failing to meet standards. That's not spoiling a kid. @Juke582

[@ningkucing]

Hey Dr Grande! Love your work, as always!! Did you see they arrested someone in the Samantha Murphy case (Ballarat, Australia) that you covered last week?

[@debrastarr5083]

YES! And there IS a link between Samantha and him they are saying! She worked as a volunteer in the uniform shop of his school when he was a student there

[@traumabeatz]

I went to elementary and middle school with Aj & Josh I still can’t believe all that happened I never would have guessed something like this would happen to them

[@beatpirate8]

DR G, you've gotta cover Dragonlord. The German internet personality who ended up getting removed from his home by authorities for attracting nuisance

[@martamariotto1181]

There's another German guy who was removed from his home while recording a video about covid related LIES. I don't know what happened to him, as far as I know he's disappeared for good.

[@jimmyseaver3647]

I actually heard of this guy. Pretty much Germany's counterpart to Chris-Chan. People would go to this dude's house and annoy the ever-living daylights out of him because they found his reactions to be so amusing. People actually got arrested over it and one of them was found to have the nasty stuff in his hard drive. Absolutely wild story, and I have a certain Dank Net to thank for introducing me to it.

[@elianazuniga6541]

Dr grande. Always speculating

[@AliValentine143]

That was sure convenient "new" DNA evidence the state "found" for the third trial, juries do love DNA evidence. I think the DA's office is unethical for that but I believe circumstantially that teen is guilty.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Extremely sad case. His parents were only doing what was best for him after giving him everything and he didn’t know how good he had it. His selfish decision will leave his sister alone in this world considering the other brother sounds like he’ll be living in a mental hospital for as long as possible. Hopefully his ultra goofball wife will have a relationship with the sister, so that she may have a relationship with her nephew.
