I think a lot of women start off believing the man is always guilty. And any hysteria or throes or despair over the loss of his significant other they believe is a well thought out display meant to convince police of his innocence. If that's the case, it's not "being childish and immature".

After watching about 100 of these videos of guilty people, I completely believe this is the behavior of an innocent man. He loses his mind at the 911 operator begging them to come and then he's absolutely ELATED that she is alive, during the first part of the interview you can see what a good mood he's in. He knew that her being alive would clear him. Then when informed she was dead he had the appropriate utter shock, almost disbelief, then it turned to him being emotionally devastated. After he broke down, and quickly switched to rage that he had been purposely, deceitfully, led to believe she was OK. He has the outrage of someone who is being falsely accused. He clearly has a problem controlling his emotions but nobody is this good of an actor.

Some meds can make you lightheaded or loopy or whatever & you shouldn’t drive, but that may not happen (not all side effects hit everyone equally), it may happen but only for a week or so until you get used to the drug, or it may be that the entire time you’re on that medication you have the issue. The warning is there to tell you what you need to watch out for. And yes, you can get a DUI for driving while impaired even if the impairment is due to medications taken as prescribed. Generally they only do that if you cause an accident, though.

@Neremworld

The reason why it was retried was because the judge ruled that the victim would not be on trial, as the defense wanted to just purely attack her instead of proving him not guilty. She disallowed it, and the appeals court found it to be the wrong decision in this specific case, but that the trial was otherwise fine (and the decision normally sound). So the second trial occured with him being allowed to impeach her character as much as he wanted. The juror stuff that EWU focused on is something I haven't ever seen brought up anywhere else.

the way he reacts to a lot of things here reminds me of my ex when he would drink. a tortured and misunderstood soul even by himself. we would get in screaming matches almost weekly, but when we broke up we were sober and it was completely amicable - we agreed we weren’t good for each other and should break up. we said one last I love you, sobbed in each others arms, separated our belongings and arranged individual living situations. since then he’s gone to therapy, addressed his addictions, and works to better himself daily. I’m still close with his family and I see him every now and then, there is no bad blood. but seeing (and especially hearing) this gave me flashbacks; I can’t continue to watch this video. I feel so deeply for fontae. the justice system and society as a whole is so flawed.

A guilty man wouldn't have acted like he did. I hope he sues the system. That judge is awful.

My wife has both bi polar and borderline personality disorder too. Its tough. We got into a fight one time and she impulsively stabbed herself with a huge kitchen knife in her thigh, about 6 inches deep. I called an ambulance. She ended up being okay but I couldn't help but to feel like I was a suspect even after my wife said she did it. It was just the way I was questioned by police. So idk, I'm kinda torn on this one. What if my wife hit her femoral artery and died that night? What if I ended up in this mans position? Now I'm not saying he is necessarily innocent or guilty, but damn.

Heck, I've "only" suffered with major depression and anxiety and been on benzos (as prescribed) for a while, then had two double screwdrivers (so four shots of vodka, total) and felt absolutely wasted, and was glad I don't have alcoholism, despite it running in my family, because I can easily see how and why benzos are both incredibly helpful for managing anxiety and panic attacks, but also easily abused and addictive, tolerance and so ineffectiveness rises fast, increasing the risk of addiction even further. Just from that one night where I combined a pretty minor amount of alcohol with 15mg of a benzo, I could easily see how out of control by behaviour could have become, if it wasn't aware how loopy I felt, and asked to head home to bed! Especially when self-medicating legit mental health issues is so common for a reason. Numbing the pain, fear and trauma is what everyone wants to do in some way. Her particular diagnoses also predispose her to the wild swings in mood and behaviour, then she's mixing large amounts of uppers, downers, powerful prescription meds, street drugs that could be mixed with anything, and alcohol. Her own public social media posts confirm she is also possessive, jealous, controlling and not afraid to threaten violence, backed up with the deposition from the ex, that even her sister confirms she'd attacked her "once", and the video clip where she was the one to attack him first. That's a lot of evidence that weighs heavily in his favour, and it was all excluded from court! There are so many flaws with the investigation, the court proceedings, the misconduct by people in power such as the judge interfering with jury decisions to force a conviction... plenty of reasonable doubt, not nearly enough compelling evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he murdered her. Which means he should have been given a FAIR trial - impossible with the same judge, and same all white jury judging a black man being portrayed as a violent criminal who "took the life of a lovely, pretty young white girl"... I'm sure part of his hysteria must have been terror, knowing how so many will immediately make a snap judgement and assume his guilt. Not to mention surpressing the evidence of her mental health and substance abuse history too. Based on the evidence seen here, I'd have to vote not guilty too. Dread to think how many more years he will lose of his freedom and life. Hopefully the innocence project will get involved.

Its insane, I'm from South Africa and we have a corrupt system like most but this would never happen if there was a second trial. Also, the evidence and studies, as well as expert testimonies pretty much proves his innocence. Her tweets were erratic and dangerous at best. His recollection of the incident with her sister was not something he needed to say at all but it just pointed in the direction of her being mentally unstable. Not to mention the eerily similar situation her ex boyfriend had experienced with her. All of this is just something a seasoned law professional can't ignore, let alone a jury of ordinary citizens. I can rant on for days about how this is messed up on so many levels but its just youtube comments so won't really make a difference. I'm also disgusted by the fact that people are literally laughing at his reaction to finding out she had passed away. It plays into the same narrative that juror was talking about, everyone wanted him to be guilty, regardless of the evidence and expert testimonies. Regarding her drug use. I was prescribed a benzodiazepine med to deal with my anxiety. One day, I took literally one more than prescribed and blacked out. It was figured out by parents that I had taken my entire monthly quantity straight after I blacked out. I don't remember a single thing from that day, including getting in my car and driving to a friend, and having a serious accident on the way there. I can easily see how she could get into the position of doing what he claimed she did, considering she was pretty much walking with a drug dealer's supply in her bloodstream. I hope he is innocent and gets justice one day. PS: I am off benzodiazepines, and will never touch it again.

So firstly, he did try to get her to leave in a rational manner . Secondly, Why would he record a video if he was planning on murdering her? It just doesn't make sense to me that he would first ask her to leave AND be recording it, if he had any plans of stabbing her. She could have got up and left and nothing would have happened...

If there is video evidence of you telling someone to leave your property, and later they end up dead. At most you should only be looking at manslaughter or 3rd degree murder

​@@thelastrellikx9503that's the same thing. "3rd degree murder" is manslaughter: meaning you killed someone unintentionally by actinf recklessly. 2nd degree murder means you killed someone without intent. 1st degree murder is you planned on killing them and then carried out the act.

I’ve never seen a guilty person react that hysterically at a loss of someone. Samantha had alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, benzodiazepines, Prozac, and other medications in her system. She had a significant history of mental illness, toxic relationships, threats of self harm, and was not in a stable state of mind at the time of her death. I wholeheartedly believe he is innocent.

His behavior in the interview didn't really reflect what I usually see in guilty people either. He was super relaxed, open, relieved when he heard she was ok. Usually when hearing a victim is going to make it, guilty suspects I've seen usually fake relief but close themselves off - but he started saying he never wants to see her again and remains open. I'd say the only type of person who could pull this off would be a psychopath or a sociopath, but there would be signs of that in his everyday life... Im only halfway thru this video typing this so maybe there are... but if he's lying, then he missed his call as an actor.

Good job mentioning _why_ people should ask for a lawyer. It is so much more important than people think. Asking for a lawyer is _more_ important than exercising your right to silence (although both extremely important, of course). Why? Because a lawyer helps you merely by asking for one. Just like this video says, if you ask for a lawyer, questioning must cease and if any questioning continues, anything said will not come into court. So merely by asking for a lawyer, before you even physically have one, you have done yourself a huge favor. Ask for a lawyer right away, and unequivocally. Not “I think I should have a lawyer 🤔 “ or “maybe I should get a lawyer.” No that won’t cut it. Say it unequivocally-I am not willing to answer questions without a lawyer.

Thanks for bringing this case to us. Very interesting on all accounts.

You really have to have dated someone with BPD to truly understand how insane those relationships are, how manipulative they can be and the incredibly intense emotions they suffer from. If someone has it bad, they could do absolutely anything. Not to mention all the drugs in the mix.

The only time I have ever been in fear for my life was when I was visiting my long-distance girlfriend. She had really bad BPD with schizo tendencies and I woke up at 3:30 A.M. to her leaning over me and just staring at me with these huge, blank, emotionless eyes. She looked like a different person. I said something like "What the fuck are you doing?" and she snapped out of it immediately. She was on anti-psychotics like respirodone and trazedone. She also thought that her brother hacked her TV and was recording her to show his friends and make fun of her. When we broke up, she publicly accused me of being a pedo on TikTok and then proceeded to send me pictures and videos of her hooking up with guys that were 28-30 years old (I was 22 she was 18) She was the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on and only now have I started to heal.

Part of the reason I love this channel is because of how unbiased it seems. I think this video did an absolutely fantastic job of being as informative as it was with such a complicated case without trying to sway viewers from one viewpoint or another 💕

This seems like common sense but that's not the most efficient way to handle emergencies when you are dealing with more than one emergency at a time. Dispatchers need to know who is hurt, how badly, and any scene safety issues first before allocating the right help, and seek to never mislead a person by telling them help is coming until it actually is.

@eLhawX

29 күн бұрын

No, it should be civilians common knowledge that once you call and give details, they send help. Dispatch will not send officers blind into any scene, they need to know how many people are hurt, what injuries, how many people are in the house, where the weapon is, etc. This is so officers don't respond to save someone and get ambushed and killed. When you call 911 and give an address, help will be sent, but you absolutely have to answer questions and it won't slow down the help. The general public is just too stupid.

Prior to this video I already knew EWU published some of the highest quality, award worthy documentaries on YT but man I'm still shocked at how well done this doc was. The expert analysis, accurate subtitles, interviews with families, and sheer amount of research put into this doc set its apart from the majority of true crime content. Good on EWU for injecting so much soul into this doc and honoring the victim even when the details are not always flattering. Its sucks that the only awards for YT content is stuff like the Streamys, but you should know that this documentary you guys have published will be remembered as one of the most poignant examinations of the how significantly the justice system can affect the way a tragedy is perceived by those most affected by it. TLDR; This doc is one of the best documentaries/videos available on KZread.
