All I’m going to say is any man that knocks an innocent dog out by punching him in the face, slings a cat down the stairs, punches holes in the wall, waves a gun around at his wife shooting into the ceiling, marries a woman after 13 days before telling his 15 yr old daughter who recently lost her mother ……. is a real prince of a guy🤮. This man was an abusive control freak, and wanted an extremely young trophy wife to bully! I’m not a victim of DV, but I don’t need to be to know when a man is a violent person who doesn’t respect women, and I’m not even bringing up emotional abuse that his texts seemed to indicate as well.

Also, when one is crying with tears rolling down the face, it's almost an instinctive reaction to wipe the face, chin, nose, etc because the feeling of non stop tears is bothersome. She is sniffing with a dry nose and, at no point, she wipes her face; only when she's told there are tissues and then she remembers to pretend to do it. Im sorry but this lady isnt upset by what she did. It’s an act for the jury.

I thought the state would have a better case then they've presented so far. The defendant had some convincing testimony and evidence of her husband's anger management issues and misdeeds. I don't know if she planned this but the victim is not a great guy. First, punching holes in the wall, the gun shot to the ceiling, putting tracking device on her car, and the text message from the ex-wife about him kicking her and lying paints a bad picture. Also marrying someone 30 years younger after just 13 days is insane. Add to that, he didn't even tell his child who recently lost her mother that he was getting married. Finally, the animal abuse is beyond disturbing and speaks volumes. I'd say there is reasonable doubt. I wouldn't be surprised with a hung jury. Either way, I feel really bad for the victim's daughter who has lost both parents.

She did not defend herself, she played a power game with another toxic human being and “won” (in her parasitic eyes) the game. The jury will show her that actually they both together with their offspring lost. And all on other people’s dime (the investors, the mother, the taxpayers). I think that only truly oblivious, self-enamored, low lives like she are under the impression everyone else has such an unsophisticated inner life and life experiences that such an act (that ducking voice tone, man!) is compatible with recognizable human reaction.

It is interesting to see two female prosecutors in a DV case like this. The "victim" shot a gun in the ceiling of their home while irate; punched the dog so hard it was unconcious; punched holes in the walls of their home; put a tracking device on the defendant's car without her knowledge and stalked her; and committed DV against his prior wife. It leans towards the defendant's perception that she feared him, and feared for her life. A definite tragedy, for all involved.

I only know what I’ve seen during trial and done no research. As a dv victim myself there are things that just do not make sense. I wouldn’t willingly be alone with my abuser if I didn’t absolutely have to be. If her allegations are true then why would her mother willingly leave with the daughter if there was a chance the victim would harm her? So much doesn’t make sense. The timeline of her allegations with the custody case are a little off. Personally as a victim of abuse I would never invite them over or be alone with them. That’s very off to me. Her testimony seems more like she’s afraid she’s getting caught. If I was being tried for a murder of my abuser in true self defense I would be angry and making sure my point was getting across to prove my innocence. I don’t feel that from her testimony.. but I’ve only just started day 4 so there’s more to come

At opening statements, I was leaning to guilty. During the prosecutions case I was reminded of my very personal connection to her position. I’ve been afraid of someone that had never hit me. I’ve lived in anxiety and fear of a partner. He was volatile and on speed. (He was absolutely not this person before he moved in) It came to a head and the police were called. I received absolutely no relief from LEO’s, was told even if he set the house on fire to gain access but it would be me arrested.(23 years ago). I was afraid for myself and my kids (they were not his kids). So, I rented a house 2months rent, last & security deposit. I had a 2nd car, and GAVE it to him. I emptied my entire savings account to furnish that house, and mailed him a postcard, establishing residency. And I never moved in with him. It’s what I had to do to protect us. So, I had to be an actress. Go along to get along for 4 months. I could relate, and thought about what it might have looked like on the outside to LEO’s friends & family. However, they lived in different states for 3 out of the for the 4 years they were married! She left, there were RO’s but yet she continued to lead him to believe that she & he were on the road to reconciliation several times over the 4 years! My rule of thumb is if either party is so angry that they feel the need to break things, to put holes in the wall, SHOOT A GUN into the ceiling, this is freaking toxic! LEAVE!! Don’t get a vasectomy reversal, and get pregnant!! And you definitely don’t KILL SOMEONE!! Her testimony proves the states case IMO.

The moment she said on the stand during her cross, when she was asked why she didn’t tell the therapist in front of Doug that she didn’t want to reconcile, “I wouldn’t want to make him look bad in front of somebody else. I wasn’t going to disagree with him in front of anybody,” she had me. That is a CLASSIC way we, who are abused, think. She would have never known to say that, nevermind feel that, if she hadn’t been abused. Just the fact that the prosecutor said that to her means she has never been through an abusive relationship. Men like this rely on a bubble of perfection to surround them- everyone besides the abused needs to believe that they are perfect and without fault. Once that bubble is popped then the abused will pay. She is not guilty.

If you don't mind me asking, is it because you just don't like her or? I mean there was an expert that essentially said psychics don't lie and it's almost impossible she hit him with those injuries. Also, now three of the police officers are under investigation regarding that case. Haha getting em one by one. As you were saying, Karen is guilty so how did you come to that conclusion. @@Trudy2018

The DA has completely obliterated the Defendant’s case. The whole defense team is circling the drain.

He apologized and literally sobbed. This would never, ever, ever happen again!! When we have a baby together, there will be love. Then he flips out & immediately apologizes & practically kisses her feet in adoration... So, she forgives him again... She takes it as it comes & then takes it, & takes it & takes what comes. He would never really hurt her. He's never actually punched her...💔

Not one tear! Parental alienation is the real backbone here. And not getting her way. Worst performance. There’s real victims out there. Hope the jury sees through this nonsense.

What’s the difference? I don’t think she is necessarily telling the truth but prestaged, moved. Something, really.

@@NathalieL. it makes me sick everyone excusing this guy's behavior. He punched a dog unconscious and threw a cat down the stairs. Amber never lied. Its called confirmation bias. People just think she was lying because its Johnny DEpp and he could do no wrong. Yet, trying to stick a liqour bottle into her vagina wasnt enough. you people make me ill.
