Why not just divorce her and move on???
Because then she’d take half of everything he’s worth.
@First name Last name
it’s because of the kids and their ages. even in divorce if young kids are there the parents still have to work together and it’s still like being married. the man just wanted her gone 😔
@First name Last namewell he’s worth zero now and his kids will get the money he is selfish she didn’t deserve that ,and we don’t know if she worked outside the home either way he should have taken himself out
DEAR LORD PLEASE COMFORT THE BEREAVED AS ONLY YOU CAN! IN THE NAME OF JESUS! 🙏🏼❤️
POOR CHILDREN! ❤️✝️❤️
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
Revelation 12:12!
JESUS IS RETURNING SOON!
HALLELUJAH! ✝️❤️✝️
There’s no god tho
Amen😔🙏🏽♥️ Poor Children 😔😪 Yes, the devil knows his time is near he’s roaming and seeking, But Love will Conquer All Jesus Christ came to save us♥️🙏🏽
My condolences 💔
What is on his attorney’s arms?
Tats!!!
🤐🤐🤐We have our own issues going on
its the reall family feud
What did she do?
I’m always wondering the same thing. What lead up to it? Why did he want her out of his life and their kids life?
She obviously did what most women do. She stabbed them in his heart. Women honestly believe they can get away with whatever. But they keep forgetting about karma
Clearly she did nothing to deserve this,how why he just didn’t shoot himself ,he was the miserable one
@loveisfictional he should move in with u ,because Clearly he is a victim in your mind only
@Tina Hammond you must be a cheater. It’s your life, enjoy it now
When we no longer consider a father leaving his 3 children alone to go break into their mother’s house and put 14 bullets in her “the worst of the worst”, I’m afraid we’re lost.
Agreed. Smh. The definition of it
I couldn’t believe it when she said that. Painting a picture like what he did wasn’t that bad 😡…what is wrong with this world smh
@Nicole Davis😅
The lawyer is a dirtbag and he puts it represents somebody like that certainly is and for her to make those comments well. Right back at her. She’s the worst of the worst look at her😮
His lawyer us trash.
Bro took “family feud” too far and out of context.
😮😞🫢✔️
No clip of the Family Feud?
They might very removed any clips he is in
White
Always that one individual who feels validated when making an irrelevant comment about colour.
His wife cost them to lose on Family Feud. Everyone in the world got to see him and his family being a bunch of losers.
Good much needed life sentence
The lawyer should at least have covered up for court.
I guess I was shocked to see her tats. Not that I’m against tattoos. I have 4 myself. But showing up in court without covering them struck me as odd.
Maybe that was her way to defend him without 💯 percent defending him.
Why?
Tacky
@Michael A CuguddaIt’s quite possible she never onced looked up for her deposition. We’ll never know. I still think she’s trash for saying he’s not the worst of the worst 😂
Is the lawyer dating him? How can she think killing someone with 14 bullets is NOT worst of worst? Shame on her.
@Vestricia Llewellyn-RichardsAre you freaking serious, it’s not the worse?
@Carmen Hill😢
@Mona C Exactly!!!
She must be as nuts as he is. If I was her family it would have been all i could do to stay calm and not go off on her stupidity!! He left his children home aline so he coukd ride his bicycle to his childrens mothers house to shoot her 14 times. He is as low as you can be !
@Carmen Hillthank you. It’s great I finally read here someone who said this. I saw it to and only read that their so close and loving. Check the video how she watched him walking out of court as someone spoke to her and then cut the conversation and tapped him in the shoulder like she was a loving fan. They all laughed which is against court and the judge only told others not to laugh while they were always laughing and the opposition didn’t. No disrespect but I see both clients were pretty hurtful and maybe one was just worse.
Anyway, back to this video, much condolences for all who lived her. 😢
Her children, mother & other family & friends are left devastated by her brutal murder. His attorney had the gall to plead for the judges mercy, how is he not the worse of the worse?
I was like whaaat? Unbelievable.
14 shots sounds pretty angry, so we don’t know the full story. People snap.
@Ileane Emmanuelli ⁰
14 shots don’t sound like a man that knows mercy. So why would he get mercy.😡
Why is everyone reading from a script???????????
She must have had another man and he went crazy
Why are you covering up all the Biden family corruption?
PSA: Ladies a lot of men are degenerates by nature. A small few can control there sadistic urges and some men have hit the bottom where they’re most comfortable at(freedom) free to pillage and destroy anyone who comes in there way that includes babies and children. Look up Princella Clark get an overstanding of male nature. Educate yourselves .
What makes it extremely sad is the lawyer is a woman herself. Would she say same thing if she was shot 14 times?
Cant believe the lawyer had the audacity to say consider his behavior before the event and he’s not the worst of the worst 😂 A crime is a crime no matter what circumstance!!
@Sheryll No One starts at 14, Fourteen Bullets. There are crimes of passion all the time but it takes a sick evil individual to stand over a person they shared a life with and shoot them 14 times with a 9mm large caliber bullet it would literally disintegrate a body leaving blood, bone, and flesh all over the room. That kind of rage and deliberate punishment even after the person’s death wasn’t manifested in an afternoon. He was violent towards her before, probably why she kept telling everyone she talked to if anything happened to her he killed her.
@Angela Francis you missed the forest for the trees.
@Sheryll I don’t think so. I’m just willing to say that when the tree falls down in the forest it makes a sound whether someone is there to hear it or not.
@Angela Francis and I’m saying you don’t know what you’re capable of until it comes to your kids. I’m not defending this guy. You just stated an untruth.
@Sheryll Firstly I did no such thing as stated an untruth, what I’m saying is the actual physical and mental tole it takes to stand over a body and watch it disintegrate into blood, bone and brain matter while you shoot them 14 times with large caliber bullets has EVERYTHING to do with primal hatred, violence, and a commitment to doing evil, the level of which is not something spontaneously reached. And much less than anything so altruistic as the instinct of the protection of your children, which I’m very acquainted with the instinct to protect them at all cost. She would’ve been just as dead with 3 shots or two or one since it is reported a multitude of them where center mass on a small framed woman, who was prostrate on the floor for a number of them. That’s inhumane rage not protection of others. There’s no pretty stick, or brush to paint this with with, no usual ploy to use to disguise this with. He hated her, and as her dead body laid there lifeless he looked at her and continued to fire his gun into it over and over again. Not for the benefit of his kids but for the benefit of his hatred.
It just kills me. When a plea for mercy for the killer. Yet. The victim is 6ft deepnin a coffin. He should have the same fate as the victim. Under the jail 💯
May he never be able to be free again
My deepest condolences and prayers. So happy he will never see the outside of prison again.
If he’s in cali newsome will let him out
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
YYYYYYY……did U take her Life……NOW U HAVE NO LIFE……….
He shot her fourteen (14) times. Smh. He is the worst of the worst. The definition of the worst of the worst.
I wouldnt read frm a paper, id straight out tell him to his face, and with hate, “i hope u rot in jail”
He should of gotten the death penalty as he can not bring her back.
Smdh senseless murder now he’s gone forever.
So sorry,prayers for the family ❤😢
My deepest condolences to the family, especially the precious children. May God guide their lives to take this tradgedy and turn it into triumph.
Why do they keep mentioning Family Feud? He was a contestant on the show like many others have been over the years. He has no significant connection to the show. Why do they keep making it a point to bring it up?
Because of what he said on show about his wife.
You know when a person goes off like this and shoots 14 times, now I don’t know all the circumstances in this case and I’m not necessarily applying this here, but to open peoples eyes to the fact that people can be bullied or leveraged or extorted and have things held over them for a time or even years to where they snap and can’t get enough get back in a short order to satisfy the wrong done them, I’ve seen it done more than once with abused women who decide after years of abuse to put a stop to it, they already were mentally traumatized and once started shooting, shot way more than necessary to an outsider, but because of circumstances she snapped and it all came out at once, same goes for some men in my life of investigating, a women has done every wrong, disloyal, betrayal, a real awful person in ways I can’t say hear, with a mouth of abuse and needling knowing he can’t touch her, taking everything he worked for even before meeting her, house, vacation home, vehicles the money, the kids and demanding more and sneering in the courtroom, the guy is living in a halfway house and she’s getting away with murder figuratively and using the money he gives her to go out and sleep around, drink, cocaine and leave the kids with whomever and buy trinkets and toys for the boys, so one day it’s enough and he unloads, right or wrong, everybody reaches a breaking point and some times more of a thing is a sign of the pain and suffering some have gone through and not necessarily always being an animal, their are a plethora of reasons besides just an animal for overkill, one only witness or live through it to understand how this could happen in some cases.
I totally agree 14 shots was out of anger, 2 sides to everything.
nah. males are narcissists and
do this all the time. he didn’t just snap it probably went on behind doors.
@missneko narcissists exist in all humans, gender, pronoun preference, race religion etc, it’s even more equal now especially with women and most women I know don’t like a lot of the women they know for various reasons and that being one of them, unless someone is very isolated or very lucky, then consider oneself that if you haven’t run into it. Besides, broken minds and psychological breaks know no boundaries period.
@missneko PS, have you seen how many women have killed their own children in recent years, we are living in very trying and fearful times for many, and it looks quite hopeless in the long run for many and terrible things are happening and will continue and even get worse, when I was young, this was unheard of and some of the ones that did were years apart, not everyday.
No matter what though the man killed the mother of his kids and now their left without both parents. And his kids will hate him. Totally stupid.
Should have made him play fast money 😂. Good riddance jackazz.
My condolences to the victim’s family and I’m so sorry for your lost
Sad, just sad. Now the children are parentless, what a most selfish person he is for doing this horrible, horrible thing.😢
OMG I’m a teaneger and I know I’m much smarter than the lawyer she doesn’t have any brain saying that he is not the worst OMG he needs to be in the electric chair don’t waste taxpayers money blessings to the lady family
Where is the defense attorneys sleeves or jacket? You are in a professional setting in front of a Judge.
He should never see daylight again. You should have just left her you basteted
Not surprised by the defendant’s lawyer she’s all tattooed up
Everyone is on here jumping down the lawyers throat and unfortunately she’s doing her job defending the scum-of-the-earth because the law says they have a right to an attorney. I personally don’t believe that she believes that he isn’t the worst of the worst, but she has a job to do and part of that is representing POS sometimes.
So sad so sad mother of his kids. Why? No reason 10 times 😮😮😮😮
Tax payerv$$ needle! For give me Lord??😮😮😮
Forgive me Lord? 😮😮😮
14 rounds? Thats alot of anger. Why?
So why that caption, Family Feud Contestant? What does family feud have to do with this? Kmt
Survey says!
🔊🔔
14 was the number-one answer.
Selfish! Didn’t think anything about his own kids.
What a low down dog!
Pointing out that he was Associated with family
Feud is irrelevant. It does not make it any more surprising then any other murderer that killed his wife
He is who he is on his own.
Y’all better stop messing with these dudes’ threatening to mess up their lively hood with child support
He is the worst of the worst
How TF is he nit the worst of the worst?
What if she was cheating or something though 🧐
Of course nobody will talk about that
So very sad and unfortunate. Completely unnecessary. May God have mercy on his miserable soul and strengthen the family he leaves behind😢
Survey says… Guilty.
He should’ve got the death penalty
American is very dangerous country
so is almost every other country.
Yall have to remember that it is the attorney’s job to give the best defense possible to the client, regardless of guilt. She did her job well and, for that reason, he will never be able to successfully declare a mistrial, appeal the verdict, or appeal the sentence. Poor kids. Orphans in one day because someone couldn’t accept that he couldn’t have his own way.
What did she do too him
I wonder what happened between them that he lost it . She left him for a reason .it’s sad she dies in such an awful way with her children home ..
The children were not home they was at the dad house is what the story said
0:42 🎶One, two, three o’clock, four o’clock, rock
Five, six, seven o’clock, eight o’clock, rock
Nine, ten, eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock, rock
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight🎶
Now that’s a family feud
Perfect candidate for the electric chair ! 😡
Did this guy stop and reload? How awful.
What??????
What an absolute egotistical selfish Evil man, who’s children didn’t even cross his mind once when he was putting fourteen bullets into their poor mother ! Of course he nothing left to say ! F,n Coward !!
Good!!!. The feminists need to let this sink in.
Wheres a link to their family feud game appearance? Did they win?
I guess that family feud got resolved with a revolver 😂
They protect white women. You never hear them handing down a sentence to someone without a criminal record this harsh. Sheeesh!!!
He deserves a second chance he didn’t know what he was doing.
I told you thats why I don’t believe in “marriage ” …Lord forgive me..This world marriage is scam 😭
Poisoning two or more people is far worse than killing one person with any amount of ammunition.
14 shots is an act of passion & mental anguish.
For the sake of his sons, the mother’s actions need to be examined as well.
Are those his biological children?
Was the wife sleeping around.?
A gun with 14 shots
Till death do you part
Omg 😮
What does family feud have to do with this?😢
Never in a million years would l have thought about this happening 😢
Stop dealing with monsters ladies smh
He doesn’t care about any Gd thing he’s done
This is so sad 😢 because on family feud his mother and father seem like some of the nicest parents in the world . . .
Save the life without parole, for the worst of the worst. Lady I hate to break it to you, but a murderer is the worst of the worst! I wonder if it was your child or sister that was attacked like he did his wife, would you feel the same? Murder is final, its the end its all over for the victim..look at the lives hes taken away from his children. He deserves the same sentece he gave his wife!
I’m interested in knowing what does she consider the worst of the worst because she was fourteen times leaving behind her. Leaving these children completely
😢 Horrific and a heinous murderer
M mi
On 📺 Steve Harvey look directly into this KILLER 👀 and from his answer that he wasn’t wrapped 🤯🤬👹😈👺👿 to tight on the answer that he gave
Wonder what the bish did or didn’t do to push him over the edge? 🤔
What episode of family feud was this, that he was on, was she here too
I happened to see the Family Feud episode where he appeared and was appalled when he said he loved his wife before giving his answer! Hearing he had killed her, I wasn’t surprised. Knowing he had announced his intent on national TV, priceless. Scum!
People never think of the consequences of the things they do. Now he can’t turn the clock backwards. See what he has put his children, in-laws and himself through. Only if people can just think or talk to someone.
Bro went from frat house to the big house
That’s the only way people should be told that they are bad sentence
I wonder what she did.
Why are they even hidding the mannerless man’s face? 😡😡😡😡
This is so bad and I’m praying for this family may God be with you all
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
