@@Jkon_ HI! I hate to admit how many times that I have watched this video, and that of Stephanie Lazarus. As a studying psychologist, I must admit, I am addicted. In this case, Todt is a stone-cold liar. He has lied to the FBI. He has lied to his patients. He lied to his family. For him, any thing, anyone, any excuse-is better than the life he lives. Todt used his wife, his kids and even poor breezy, as scapegoats for the life he hated. Yet, with all of his vitriol he could not succeed at killing himself. Loves himself too much. Used cough syrup to attempt to kill himself-but drank a soda to stay awake??? Which is it, Todt? Die? or live? He lives. Just like his dad. Pure -contemptuous -losers.

This is my first time watching this testimony. You couldn't possibly be more correct. The difference was pronounced and instantaneous. It's like a switch was flipped. I don't think he did himself any favors with his hostile and aggressive demeanor towards the prosecution. It also seems to me that he wasn't sufficiently coached by his attorneys on how to behave under cross. Perhaps they, too, were painfully aware of his guilt and what he had done, and so didn't feel particularly motivated to help him out in this regard.

Also, I kept asking myself while watching his antics, "Does he not realize that the jury can still hear him even when he's facing away from them??" It was SO weird! Like, did he somehow think the jury wouldn't notice his entire attitude shift to rude and hostile, just because he wasn't looking at them?

This man's medical interpretations of cardiac dysrhthmias is completely inaccurate, as well as his explanations of other medical issues. This guy has so many signs of being a malignant narcissist. It is painful to sit through his testimony. He is his most damaging witness.

[@RocketRocket-ce3ke]

I'm trying to imagine his wife laying there, knife in her stomach, both hands gripping the handle, saying " Ive stabbed myself in the vena cava'. It has a hollow ring about it.

[@kingayy9267]

He mispronounced innocuous as "inn-oculus." I wouldn't take much of what he says seriously. In addition to the mental issues, of course.

[@PlAiNJaNe521]

I almost feel sorry for his defense team. To have to try and come up with a defense for this guy and combat all of the evidence. I'm sure they advised him not to testify, but his ego wouldn't let him pass up the chance to be front and center.

[@jinnmallik5459]

Judge himself try keep him away from the Stand. True blame lays with them Convicts. It comes a RULE you Murder them that Murder Children. Prison Rules you can Not mitigate just Obeyed. Should have killed this dog time ago.

[@yannwakeman8261]

To defend someone does not mean to help him out of his guilt by sustaining his lies !! It is just to ensure he gets trialed fairly and not tared, feathered and hung on the next tree immediatly (as he maybe would deserve). Lawyers who missinterpret their duties to law and society as well to the client into a "I'll gonna get you out, no matter what" business are none the less evil and narcistic psychos as their clients mostly are.

@@yannwakeman8261 I worked in corporate law for years and got eaten alive by the alcoholic, psychopathic, narcissistic, drug-addicted lawyers that fill that toxic world. It has taken me years to recover.

[@crysn315]

It made me sick watching him fake cry, and then all-of-a-sudden become emotionless when they objected (to his long answers). I couldn't imagine my husband and the father of my children *killing* my CHILDREN (and me) and then placing the blame on me. THAT is the ultimate betrayal. It's bad enough he killed them, but to blame the victim makes it so much more sick and twisted. This man deserves to spend the rest of his life in a cage. If you can't trust the person you share a bed with, who can you trust? Just wow.

You can see his narcissistic personality in all it’s glory when he is interrupted and told to stop talking. The look on his face says it all.

[@michah321]

he might have gotten away with it

[@beatleicious]

There's no way he would have gotten away with it....but him being on the stand was his death knell

[@trickortrump3292]

I’d be embarrassed to admit how many times I’ve watched this since the trial! This is one of those cases where the defence is so ridiculous that he must testify but he absolutely cannot testify. There is no way that they could leave his confession video to be the only time the jury heard from him in the trial. He had to testify and refute that evidence but he was going to kill himself on the stand even with a better attitude. He stood no chance at all, no matter how great his lawyers were and no matter what defence they went with, at getting anything less than life without parole. And had the prosecution actually gone for death like they originally intended, there is no doubt whatsoever he would’ve gotten it, after seeing his performance in court.

[@yoopermary]

That was such an interesting feature of his behavior during cross. I'd like to know what kind of body language feedback the jury was giving him during the first half because during the last half he stopped wheeling around to look at them.

[@SpiritSeekerSquad]

I noticed during the first part of cross, anytime he wiped his eyes, he turned towards the jury to do so. He wanted them to see that. He stopped looking over at them near the middle/end of the cross. He's sick!!! He's a murderer. He knows. Everyone in that room knows it. Only one person believes he's fooled everyone.
