  • This is the Day 4 Recap from the so-called "Love Triangle Murder Trial," aka TX v. Kaitlin Armstrong.
    Playlist to all videos on this topic: • Love Triangle Murder T...
    FOR CONTEXT:
    Yoga instructor Kaitlin Armstrong is on trial for murdering a professional bicyclist named Anna Moriah "Mo" Wilson. Kaitlin was in a relationship with professional bicyclist Colin Strickland. When Kaitlin and Colin were on a break in their relationship, Colin very briefly dated Mo. Friends described this as basically a very casual, very brief dating period, without much emotional connection. Things didn't work out romantically for Colin and Mo, but they allegedly remained friends. Prosecutors allege that Kaitlin became very jealous of Mo ever since, and that this jealousy drove her to take Mo's life.
    After she was questioned by police, she fled to Costa Rica on her sister's passport, where she dyed her hair and had plastic surgery that changed her face dramatically. After she was apprehended, she tried escaping a second time, this time from a doctor's appointment she had in jail.
    Trial in this case began on October 30th in Austin, TX when a jury was paneled. On November 1st, the prosecution and defense gave their opening statements.

    I learned earlier this week that I've been suffering from really bad allergies the last couple months. While editing this video, it became increasingly apparent that this was a "bad allergy day" 😂. Thank you for your patience with these recaps!! Also, what do you think--are Colin's inconsistencies enough to start opening up some reasonable doubt for Kaitlin's defense?

    Hi Alyte!! Avid Strava user here - So in the app if you follow someone you can see their activities and specifically where they start and end on maps. Meaning if Kaitlin was following Mo, and Mo started her Strava activities from the apartment where she was staying, all Kaitlin would need to do is click on an activity map to see the GPS start point of where Mo started. Strava does however have a safety mode in which you can hide start and end point from within a set mile radius of your choosing, but that is not on by default.

      Agreed. It honestly comes down to inner childhood wounds. Kaitlin had an anxious attachment love style, and he had an avoidant attachment style with her.

To me this is a tragic story of two people with unaddressed mental health issues that got caught in a cycle that kind of synergized and snowballed into something neither of them had the coping skills or support systems to handle. The whole "Colin was always playing games with women" thing seems to rob women of agency imo. Were Colin's actions hurtful to the people he had relationships with? Yeah, for sure, but those people were also in a place where they were okay being in a relationship with a man like Colin. I think people tend to fall in with people that are on their wavelength, and both Colin and Caitlyn were vibrating on the "we both need therapy and maybe a psychiatrist" wavelength. Doesn't excuse Colin for making really shitty decisions, doesn't excuse Caitlyn for making shitty decisions, just two people with some kind of trauma they weren't addressing, shitty behaviors as a result of that trauma and insufficient coping skills when those shitty behaviors led to very uncomfortable emotions.

    Fast fashion relies heavily on sweatshop labor, I didn't hear that in your explanation but for me it's on par with the environmental impact in terms of significance.

As closely as she was allegedly following Mo & following Mo & Colin, I would expect that she would know the proper neighborhood.

    24:15 i think its another use of semantics by the defense here. When someone is talking about a current relationship regarding a past rough patch, even if it was supposed to be the end at that point in time, a "Blip" is pretty synonymous with "Bump in the road" or aforementioned "Rough patch"

    @kenn1936 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Thank you for this update - you are doing a great job. I love listening to you on this case. On the subject of Colin being aggressive and outright assaulting the cameraman - let me quote Colin in his interview with Police He stated that if he "thought that Kaitlin was even capable of assault or hit a person, he would immediately have removed himself from the relationship"!! This is his claimed view of anyone who would assault another person!!!! He has done it 3 times in front of the cameras and in front of sheriff officers/security, is it basically says to the world that he is a closeted aggressive person that lashes out when he is not getting his way or is pissed. He did not have the capacity to control himself. NOT ACCEPTABLE!! The camera man has since pushed charges for assault - and I am glad he had done so. It is cut and dry, no denying that Colin took his temper out on that guy - who incidentally was NOT blocking his way, he could have walked forward without ever colliding with him. And I also want to point out the disgusting sheriff that patted him on the back after he stomped on the camera man's foot. Sickening!!! He is not a superstar with his entourage leaving a gig!!!
    Colin has been totally inconsistent with his views on Kaitlin. Gentle and Kind, never jealous, never pushing him into anything, etc Then there are the texts that say different. The point where Kaitlin did not seem surprised about Colin being with Mo the night before, comes immediately after telling her Mo is dead, That is shock enough for anyone not to take in anything said after that. Colin did not hang about at that point - he went inside told Kaitlin and immediately left for the police station where police were waiting to interview him. What length of time did she have to start giving a negative reaction to finding out Colin was with Mo the day before? No sticking up for Kaitlin in anyway - I think she did this and the evidence is overwhelming, but looking at it both ways. If she had not done anything and was finding out for the first time Mo was dead and Colin was with her the day before - the thoughts in an innocent Kaitlin's head would be OMG what is going to happen to Colin? what are the police thinking? what are we going to do? Why are they asking Colin down to the station? will he need a lawyer? what should I do? ... strangely enough she called a lawyer they both know. the action that you would assume a confused person would do.

    To me Colleen is a bit of an immature self-centered "star" like many are. He likes the attention and women and was not into Kathlin as she was. It's a very common situation. However he has nothing to do with Kathlin's decision to kill Mo.
    As for Kathlin, again another immature young woman who should have walk away this relationship which was unhealthy and where she would never get what she was expecting. Killing Mo was not gonna settled the issues she had in her relationship with Colleen. I dont feel sad or sorry for Kathlin, her jealousy is the cause for a young lady to lose her life and a family broken forever. She can spend her life behind bars as far as I am concerned.

  • @BlushingForeigner
    @BlushingForeigner Před 5 měsíci +11

    I’ve been solidly believing Caitlin is the likely murderer. BUT…Colin is deeply unlikeable - and to be honest, I now wonder if he tacitly knew Caitlin did it or was going to do it. When he was so aggressive and cruel to that videographer, going out of his way to hurt him, that’s when all sympathy for him stopped. He sounds devoid of any feelings or emotions when he says that what he didn’t like about Caitlin (or where they differed) is that she purchased from shops like the Gap or H&M. What the heck?!? 99% of all low and middle income people have to buy from fast-fashion retailers, as they are the cheapest. Why does he cite something so limp - and not mention some deep character flaw in his ex - who he claimed now to “not have known well!” What I detect from this stupid pro cyclist is zero sadness or remorse or care for Mo’s family. HE helped to cause her death by dating an unstable woman. At best, he’s a clueless idiotic naive narcissist who didn’t realize his girlfriend had a murderous streak. At worst, he committed the murder or gave a shrug when she set out to do it. He seems just…awful. I hope Mo’s family is okay.

    I feel like Colin is not a good person who was stringing Kaitlin along, even though he had no real interest in her. It also seems like he had flings with other women, even if we don't know how far they actually went. All of that would be quite bad, but it's not illegal. From what we know, it seems like this may have been what triggered Kaitlin to kill Mo. However, I don't think most people would expect that being an asshole in a relationship will lead to someone being murdered. So far, it seems like we have only heard more motives on why Kaitlin may have decided to kill Mo, but nothing that puts the blame on someone else or absolves her.

  • @psychologicalprojectionist
    @psychologicalprojectionist Před 5 měsíci +1

    John Lennon wrote the lyric "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans" and I think that sums up Colin and relationships. I am guessing his sport and career came first and for good reason. Professional sport is a short career and can be a very much shorter if you are not 100% focused and dedicated.
    I also think if I thought a friend of mine murdered someone in the way poor Mo was murdered, I might very well answer no to the question of whether I knew them well.
    I guess he probably feels some guilt as to what happened to Mo. But he had other female cycling friends and I think there was no sexual relationship at that point real or imagined between them. He seems like a nice guy who liked people and made and valued friendships easily. I don't know what stage of his career he was at, but he may have been keen to coach or mentor her in the future.

    Just FYI, Colin will not be getting sponsors back because he stopped riding after the murder happened. His career basically ended that day and he hasn’t tried to pick it back up. That is probably part of his bitterness at the entire situation and possibly why he behaved the way he did in and around court.

    Fast fashion is a LOT debated and discussed and has been for years so I am a bit surprised you missed out on it!

    The jury will discern the truth….KA is guilty af….she has a personality disorder imo that drove her extreme jealousy to kill her ‘rival’…..not only w/Colin, but also in Mo’s rapid growing success in cycling which fueled her rage….Colin has every right to speak with other women….sadly, he did not completely break off his rel w/KA…..she kept him in a heated sexual hold is what I’ve read….her toxicity & murderous revenge has ruined countless lives which is so tragic

  • @arneliashort4647

    Kaitlin should have just “let it burn”. Instead she ruined so many lives. Collin felt that way about her but was probably still sleeping with her and was clearly leading her on. He’s a terrible person. I hope men and women learn a lesson from this.

  • @frankbauerful
    @frankbauerful Před 5 měsíci

    It's important to emphasize that the boyfriend should not have talked to the police. He was a suspect. That means they gave him the Miranda warning before his "interview". Why is it so hard for people to understand that when police tells you you have the right to remain silent, that means you should STFU and when they tell you you have the right to an attorney, that means you should demand an attorney. It's this silly idea that innocent people have that because they're innocent, they're on the same side as the police. But if the cops think they're on the same side as you are, they don't give you a Miranda warning. If his murder girlfriend was smarter, she could easily have pinned this on him. At that point, innocuous and truthful statements from his interrogation could easily be used to build a case. The truth is not your friend when you're a suspect. You don't want police to have the truth. You want police to have NOTHING.

    addition thoughts : how does Colin charge his phone, while on a motorbike - when he calls Kaitlin and states "hey I was up north delivering flowers etc, etc and my phone died"? but I am calling you now because it miraculously came back to life? When Kaitlin was told Mo was dead, maybe she asked Colin "what happened did she have a bike accident" maybe Colin had that piece of info from the initial contact with the police that she died at the apartment and he told Kaitlin.

    At the end of the day this guy is a player, and played with both of these women, obviously he didn't kill this young girl but let's face it if he had not been going back and forth and lying to Kaitlin, she definitely had shown him that she was not stable and very insecure! .... probably months prior to all this with Moe, so because of his ego and game playing with women in general it caused this situation where this young girl lost her life. Make no mistake Kaitlin killed her, but if not for his actions Moe would still be alive.
