[@sternenstaubisterlaubt]

There is a reason why there are signs in tubes that say "don't shake the baby" post partum depression can make parents accidentally kill their babies. Just because you have a great time, doesn't mean others have it. I know nothing about this case so my comment isn't about that, but this comment is extremely ignorant. There has to be more awareness about post partum depression so people seek help and don't hurt their babies.

@Jack Nicholls He’s a 15 year old boy, having to testify against his mom and dad because they murdered his baby brother. There should’ve been stricter rules to prevent trying to rewrite his testimony. It was not appropriate, and it made me feel even worse for the boy.

[@nalylovedoncat]

So, this is actually a court reporters issue most likely. While WE hear everything fine through the microphones, depending on where the court reporter is seated, she may not be able to hear him. It’s very important as a court reporter that we get EVERYTHING said, and unfortunately that can mean asking for folks to speak up. She even mentions she can’t see where he is indicating on the body; that’s because she needs to notate that in the transcript.

[@brooklynphillips9514]

@@nalylovedoncat Thank you for explaining this. It was just hard to hear a young man have to recount something so difficult.

[@nigelft]

@Jack Nicholls That must have been an incredibly difficult to do, but I'm very impressed that your younger self did that once, but twice. Having to testify in court myself, especially when the lawyer for the other side would start his questioning with "Would you agree with me that ...", which, because my own couldn't be bothered to prep me for such leading questions ... but then that was in a case of Constructive unfair dismissal from my last paying job, so not exactly a Criminal Court. Closest I came was also to testify against my own father, which would have been when I was in my mid-late 20's, some 20 years old. At the time I was glad he pled guilty for the crimes of sexual harassment, abuse, and rape on my younger, severely disabled, sister, and myself, so you can imagine having to recount everything that I experienced and saw. Only years later, was it truly explained that had he pled not guilty, and it went to a full jury trial, my testimony alone would have been enough to have him sentenced to far longer than 9 years, of which he served six, because that is how sentencing goes, here in the UK. I can only hope, in both cases, justice was done on your behalf ...

That son will be something in the future. The voice sounded mature he spoke very precise and smart too. I wish he will be a judge or something like a public servant.

Because the questions were rehearsed prior...I still think he should be included in police investigations for homicide...sibling jealousy is a thing also...

They are crying because they know their teenage son is about to expose the truth, I see two sick dark souls through these "parents" eyes, no light, no empathy, no kindness. May karma reach both of them.

[@moony6692]

This teen sounds so professional and she's talking to him like he's a little kid. The way he said, "Explain that" when he didn't get her, sounded like an adult.

[@snaxbar]

The way she phrased the question was totally dumb. It made no sense. And the fathers lawyer was just as dumb... its like it's everyone's first time in court and they're all winging it lol

[@johnmorris8444]

It was annoying that she would be like “was that your daddy or your mommy?” And he was like “my father”.

"I couldn't hear you".....Then how come you was able to repeat every one of his answers???

[@user-vb4kn6mo1f]

it was probably a tactic used so that they could make sure he could repeat his story correctly (so that if he told a different story the second time, they would know he was lying)

[@viska1899]

Right

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

Stupid title, made it sound like he did this to his own brother and the parents are there watching him testify, to anyone who doesn't have prior knowledge of the case. Should title it, "parents accused of killing infant listen to the testimony of their older son" Edit: they changed the title of the video

I watched this over two years ago and hardly could get through it all! And now all of a sudden it’s in front of me on KZbin and it’s more horrific watching it this time ! I will not continue past making my comment since that first time I watched it , I did so with my full attention and responsibility. This left me marked for the rest of my life and to remember that there are these monsters living right here next to our lives is another reminder. I just can not do it again. I am so sad yet grateful I’ve been given the wisdom to recognize this should it be something I can do something about to rescue or help a helpless baby/child . God help us all!

Okay , I’m pissed at “deaf” lawyer. He already answered all the questions, yet she keep asking them again and again. He’s 15 and brave enough to stand his testimony. If it would be me, I would be already crying when you keep asking me the questions all over again and again. Especially if it’s about someone in my family who passed away.

Yeah, she kept referring to a “little bruising” when he says the entire head was swollen and bruised. And what the heck does the baby’s “tiny head” have to do with it? She’s trying to minimize the injuries. Awful.

[@Olivijad]

When they cross examine, their job is to discredit anything that is said against there client to lessen the sentence especially if they are guilty without a doubt...

[@josephsherby]

It may seem horrible, but she is a defense attorney and that’s her job. Everyone has a right to a lawyer to represent them in court and it is the job of that lawyer to zealously advocate for the interests of their clients. I will say that her tactic of claiming she cannot hear him and having him clarify everything in order to play down what he says and catch him in a slip-up is, in my opinion, unethical. That being said, the people whom you should really be directing your anger towards are the individuals she represents.

[@SouthernOregonOrgani]

She’s literally just doing her job. She HAS to play devils advocate or the parents could call a mistrial and get it thrown out or retried.

[@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC]

As an Attorney, it was disappointing to see how the Defense Attorney treated this young man. Trivializing him as a child is a fast way to alienate your clients to the judge/jury.
