Watch: Day 3 of buried alive resentencing trial

Alan Wade and his mother testified Wednesday. Watch as the trial to resentence Wade, who was convicted of burying a couple alive, continues.

[@sicilyny5375]

So many of us have gone thru similar situations...and yet we don't bury sickly old people ALIVE for money..no excuses. Death penalty n enforce it.

What money, after the murders, this guy was on the phone begging mom to wire him 20 bucks

It really doesn’t matter what he went through as a child. It’s very sad for him but that’s no excuse for his behavior!

I agree. I went through horrible shit, worse than him and know many people who had it much worse than both of us. We don't bury people alive.

[@marshapieroni6677]

It seems to make some people better, stronger, but with others, it does the opposite. I grew up in trauma with 11 siblings and each of us were affected in different ways

[@smokeydiamond489]

This looks like a nice enough ma, I bet that childhood wasn't even that bad

[@taffetajackson3770]

It matters a lot. But it should never negate any consequences that a person must pay in return for their actions. Each of us deal with traumas that has the ability to effect our relationships with others. When we are triggered, our behavior becomes irrational, but we are unaware of the irrationality (we believe wholeheartedly that we're right). Mix in drugs and alcohol, there's no telling what one may accomplish. But we should still be held responsible for our actions bc we're adults and we cannot go through life continuing to think our horrible actions are justified.

He needs to stay in prison..especially since hes doing so well in a CONTROLLED ENVIROMENT

Sick and tired of hearing how a person was abused as a child so they go out and murder murder murder and say oh I was abused or rejected or was poor as a child so feel sorry for me and my heinous murders. Kids in 3rd world countries suffer far much more eating and living in dump sites and they don't go out and murder people.

[@AntiEmpire]

There is a serious psychological aspect to this, and if you aren't willing to educate yourself about it, then you will continue to be credulous and write people off at face value. And many (not all) of children in third world countries grow up to be violent or to steal or to kill just to survive, and many (not all) poor kids in this country do the same. You don't seem to know much about poverty or how poverty directly impacts human psychology.

[@Wiseguy429]

Exactly i’m sick and tired of hearing what a bad childhood they had a lot of us had bad childhood but you don’t see us robbing people killing people and burying them alive for God sake death penalty all the way I feel sorry for the mother because she looks like a good lady but if you know your son has got some mental difficulties she needed to get him help instead of putting him into society and have us pay for his crimes that he has committed,!

[@dianedeck]

@@angeladodds Amen! Psychological trauma or not. That is no excuse to be a cold blooded murderer. Period. These people are not to be pittied they are to be taken at their word and realize that they will never be rehabilitated they are evil incarnate. Also to the person who said you don't know poverty. You are right most of us don't know poverty. I did have a father however who went to sleep many nights hungry because his father walked out on them and his mother and seven other children were in poverty. Hungry, sick and impoverished they considered themselves lucky if they got used shoes to wear to school. Yet somehow he grew up to be a fine hardworking man who supported his family with two jobs and determination to never be like his father. Sorry but I don't pity murderers no matter how bad their childhood was.

[@jerry8986]

Due process is design to remove much of the emotion from the decision process. The US has consistently estimated a 5% wrongly conviction rate for years. Maybe we should follow your way of Justice and convict on how a person feels that he or she is guilty and save some Tax dollars. If that means the wrongly conviction rate goes up so be it. Unless of coarse one of those wrongly convicted is you. Estimated that 1/2 of those wrongly convicted was Official Misconduct and 1/2 convicted from mistakes in processing evidence. I wonder, was it because at the time they felt the person was guilty is why a DA or Police made up or with held evidence to convict a person. With that said the vast majority of DA, Police, and evidence processers are honest people doing their best to keep us safe. It's the few who use their power knowing that immunity protects their dishonest behavior is the main reasons we should offer every person a trail and hope it is tried by honest DA's and Judges. I want the guilty held accountable and innocent not be convicted.

They ask you to place their life in your mind and forget about the child, or elderly, or young teenager gruesome murdered. Well, you know, it's sad what happened but we can't change the past blah blah. That's bullshit!! It's exactly the fact that the horrid murderer can't bring back life, we cant fix it, that is why we need to take it so seriously. It's not an un-doable wrong.

Ask the mother: "how do you feel, about YOUR SON, being able, that night, to bury that couple alive in the dirt. That hole. Putting dirt on them. With no mercy. Dirt in their lungs. Holding hands. Where was the mercy for mr and mrs Sumners? For me, it is hard to listen to this. Offcourse, she protects her son. Everybody forgets, that they all 4, thought, it being a good idea, to rob the Sumners. Go into their house, put them in the trunck, bring them to a hole and bury them alive.

[@esterrios3998]

I was just watching the re-entering on KZbin and I heard and understood everything that was asked and her answers! What were the jury doing? Napping?

[@Honestly-Jenn61]

This courtroom is really good for selling vegetables and fish in the market what a Caicos

[@kimberlyadorno280]

I'm reading a lot of sympathy for his mother, however some of the things she did and said we're simply wrong and set him up for failure (his deadbeat father as well). Don't get me wrong, I have zero sympathy for the defendant and I'm sure my comment is going to get blown up but I noticed how emotional she got when speaking on her hardships and what she went through, but when speaking about him and his trauma she wasn't as emotional. For example, when asked about a call from the school, she immediately spoke about being threatened with jail instead of his suicide attempt. I know she had it hard but telling little boys they are "the man of the house" can cause life long issues and robs little boys of their childhood. I haven't watched the entire trial, this is only the second video I've watched. These are just some of my observations regarding some of her testimony. Don't get me wrong, I empathize with her because I am a single mother of 4 children who works minimum 77hours weekly. I get how hard it is. But we as parents must accept responsibility for the type of humans we raise whether intentional or not. I pray the victims and their family receive some type of justice. Obviously nothing compares to the horrendous acts involved in this case, but I pray they receive some type of closure.

[@loribrogdon7842]

If he failed 6 7rh and 8th grade how did he go to HS. SMH

[@angelapyle7301]

He got his GED

[@pinkfluffydino8217]

He dropped out as soon as he turned 16 and then he did a GED program before his crimes and again in prison.

[@sicilyny5375]

Will not watch anymore trials if they can't have adequate audio...can barely hear anything . Mics on all who speak ..your losing viewership

[@susiecarlson7239]

What do you mean? It has great audio!! It must be your earholes

[@loribrogdon7842]

I hear it just fine. Get a better phone.

[@catherinejudd7993]

You can turn on caption by selecting that option by touching the three dots on the upper right hand corner.

[@pinkfluffydino8217]

Also, they have no control of it. They record what’s happening and they get what they get. If the courtroom audio sucks the video audio will also suck unfortunately. They don’t get to control anything in the courtroom including who has a mic. As long as the jury can hear that’s all the courts care about. It’s for the jury after all.

[@suzannaj3834]

I’m glad I never had kids. Sounded like mom did the best she could considering. I loved her testimony and the phone call. I saw two sides to her. Momma Bear and Tough Mom. The phone call said it all to me. Allen could have stopped this at anytime yet he didn’t. Unfortunately he’s an accessory to murder, kidnapping and robbery. Just being there he’s guilty. If there were four shovels he helped dig a hole, but I believe Michael filled it in and buried the victims alive.

[@childtimematters513]

Please instruct attorneys to speak into a mic. Blonde attorney - Pony tail attorney - short haired mail attorney. Sorry, can’t hear names.

[@kiwigirlNZ]

The people who uploaded this have no control over any technology in the courtroom. Maybe you should be writing an email to the courthouse with your request. This is just KZbin.

[@rhondacrowe2265]

She allow# him to scream throw little boy fit#. Surely they won't release him

[@Tina-wi5ng]

And rightfully so as he not had conjugal visits isn't he married hasn't he bore a child while he's on death row his life is going on

[@pinkfluffydino8217]

He’ll either get life without parole or death by lethal injection. He won’t get out alive either way. There was a rumor he fathered a child while on death row and they did address it in court previously and it’s simply not true based on what they’ve said in court and based on the contact that they’re allowed. They don’t get to even touch their visitors let alone have enough contact to get someone pregnant. They usually speak to visitors through glass on a phone when on death row.

[@lynnegackstetter2779]

I don't understand why these two are in for resentenced. Has this been on appeal or something. ?

[@catherinejudd7993]

I think there was a new death penalty law (state or national) where the death penalty sentence must be unanimous-if one juror disagrees then the sentence must be life v death. I think Tiffany, Michael, and Alan all received death penalties with one or two dissenting jurors so they all had sentencing retrials. Could be Michael received unanimous death penalty so no re-sentencing.

[@halimak625]

What's this case about.?🇬🇧👍

[@PB-ho6dm]

Regardless of what happens to us in this earthly life. We have choices. Please pray for this young man no matter the sin. He has a Mother that did her best and loves him and I pray he will turn to God. God is our refuge and our strenght in times of trouble. God sent His Son, (Himself) as a scrafice for our sins. Time is getting short on this earth. Please, Please have compassion and prayers for all regardless of our sins. May God be with us all. If we will call on Him and repent of our sins and change our ways He will forgive us our sins and we will see each other in Heaven. Love, to all on this earth regardless of the sin seek forgiveness. God is so good.

[@titayanez2085]

This mom is a typical mom that says it’s everyone’s fault but her babies. Hell with that. Laughing and saying he’s a trip for making damn eggs for breakfast what the hell moving to get him away from the bad influences. And his schooling who knows what the hell was that? Who cares about poor little Allen letting her son hang out with a Man 5 years older Letting him talk to her in that tone about her own son that’s bullshit she should of called the cops asap at that point. Work isn’t a excuse for not taking care of your kids. Being sick she should of put him in foster care if she couldn’t handle her little baby. Dang this is crazy hearing the mom talk about grown sons. And adult men and it’s crazy poor Allen… Does she realize there are Allen’s all across the country that make it and don’t treat their mom like shit and moms don’t treat their grown sons like a 10 year old forever. Michael should of been arrested for bullying a mom and son. If that what it was. Allen did it on his own and buried a elderly man and woman. Even in jail she supported him. Nope she should of cut him off the day he went into jail even before that. This mom is delusional and never going to be her son. Who cares to send her son books and buy him snacks from the jail store. And what does she think he’s away at college. I’ can’t believe she is actually trying to get him a easier sentence. laughing is disgusting this is all IMO. Bunch of bull shit.

[@wendyhdzmiller8700]

I totally agree. I went through chemo and radiation with a 4 and 2 year old and a newborn. I survived it, and they're great adults now. I had to work through it too. I was also left during the whole ordeal by my useless ex husband. 🙃 I was homeless and broke and sick. But I'd be damned if I didn't come out stronger on the other side. 👍💪

[@LadyBeeV]

@Tita I could not agree with you more.i thought I heard Allan mom say he was a trip but I wasn't sure.thanks for pointing that out.

[@sandraperry5889]

I can't hear what's being said turn up the mics

[@learlinegraham8994]

Really feel for this woman don’t blame yourself pray for you

[@terezagrbin4357]

i feel sorry for this women but many women making mistakes or are brain washed that they have to have carrier and don't realize it is important to prepare for marriage and right partner and children need parents to love and guide them and give them example, and todays culture dominated by feminist don't think much who they married because attitude that if doesn't work it is easy to divorce and children are victims

[@ronaldpolen2910]

I would hate to be a cop

[@dakr3464]

So sad. So many hurting life's

I'd be afraid of the dark too...😶

[@jericlark5855]

There is something wrong with her.

[@ContactsNfilters]

Narcissism. Total victim mentality, thinks she's better than others. Very worried about what other people think.

[@kweenkashmereiman]

Having a stressful son who didn't respect her or care about anyone or anything. It's nothing like a mother's love but she has to love herself and stop enabling him.

[@belleblaas3843]

Big brother Andrew, of Alan, didn't bury people alive, did he? Just asking..... Still wondering about, how mom, can let it slide, that her son, buried 2 innocent elderly people. Alive. Just putting dirt on them. In that hole. Lungs full with dirt. Soil. Walking away. And they, all 4 didn't care a f. Enjoyed the money later on. No worries. Untill caught. And then suddenly remorse and 'o gosh, life without parole or deathpenalty.....". That night, they thought, it being a good idea. Days before, it being a good idea..... This lovely mom of Alan, cannot put herself/mirror, as it was her. Experiencing what mr and mrs Sumners experienced. Wants to stay far away about that realizing, because her son did that with his 'friends'. I feel for this lady. Her life is, as so many other lifes are. Struggeling. We all can regconize that. But not all sons, kill and just can bury an elderly couple alive. Her beloved son Alan was capable. Mom of Alan, forgets that, in her whole memorylane of Alan. Her son, Alan, BURIED 2 old people, GASPING for air, and they walked away. There is really no excuse for that....

[@user-qv4ni9hd8m]

Allen is a handsome guy. He seemed uptight and extremely anxious on the stand. Too bad his life went in this direction and he heinously buried those poor people alive. What caused him to do this, I wonder. How horrid.
