- As the trial of Michelle Troconis continues into almost week six, the defense called a memory expert witness to testify on Thursday morning. Dr. Elizabeth Loftus was cross examined by the prosecution, and seemingly failed to remember details from her career, despite her title. Michelle Troconis is on trial for her alleged involvement in the 2019 disapperence of Jennifer Dulos.

This is great content. She showed up thinking she is all that and then some and the prosecution really did their homework on her. 😂😂😂
She's so delusional she left thinking it too 🤭🤣
I agree 💯
totally! she's such an arrogant, unlikeable woman
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Go walk your dog 😂😂😂😂
Great job discrediting this not so impartial witness! $700 bucks and hour will buy you someone who is a memory expert who can’t remember what happened yesterday!
Excellent job. 👍🏼
😂😂😂😂Exactly what I was thinking
She was ridiculous. She has no clue or memory. What on Earth !?
📕She is an expert in the “weave and dodge”.
📚Her next book is
HOW TO NOT ANSWER A DIRECT QUESTION WHEN TESTIFYING FOR THE DEFENSE📘 📖
Her fee is not that remarkable if you compare it to her peers that testify in high profile court cases (even her peers with much less notoriety aren't paid that much less).
That goes for the witnesses called by the defense and the prosecution.
So it's rather silly to pretend like the prosecution proved some big point.
She is in the F’n Hall of Fame of terrible expert trial testimony. The amount of work that went into this cross is amazing. No joke.
I was very impressed with their research. I bet the defense didn’t know half of it
She sure did
Prosecutor is AWESOME! What a joke the memory witness is! The defense should refuse to pay her lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This woman is a great example why getting a ph.d. is a joke if she is your prof. She should have retired a long time ago.
IRS ain’t paying $700 an hour tho 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Past her sell-by date!
Reminds me of Dr. Dorothy Lewis from Leticia Stauch's trial.
She's 79. Might be time to walk the dog more, testify less.
And Jrnnifer's mother is 88 and sharp like a razor.
The dog will walk her
For real
@@annadembowska1160😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Puhleeezzzz!! At $600 per hour, I'd work until the end of time! 😉
She is a scam artist
It’s crazy what the court will allow as an “expert”. I have watched a few trials and when the defense is really desperate and have no actual defense, they will bring in these so called experts to spout whatever they ask. In the Jodi arias trial the psychologist they hired to testify on her behalf was awful! If you think this woman was bad, I suggest you watch that trial.
Lmao I love how the prosecutor advertently compared MT to Ted Bundy, OJ Simpson and Timothy McVeigh-which the expert also helped
Omg I didn’t even realize that! Yes!! I
Know he rattled off murderers but forgot the comparison to MT. Great episode!😂 prosecutor was awesome
What an adept prosecutor. Effective. Smooth. Skilled.
Not really, low hanging fruit, you hear him and see him smirk as he was trying to score points and bolster his own ego and quite a few have fallen for it. I listen to the judge reprimanding him as I type. 15:23
I watched it to the end and the judge says recess because things have become ‘unhinged'…lol he clearly sees that the prosecutor is losing sight of his objective. Prosecutor is envious of her pure and simple.
I have 2nd hand embarrassment 😮
As do we all who cringed at the incompetence of this so-called “Expert Witness” for the Defense!
🤣🤣never heard that one.
My husband will watch people on TV....he gets it bad, and it shows !!!!
@@marybryner5562😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@judyallen4390😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
I like the way the prosecution is showing she can’t remember jack and therefore is a totally useless witness…😅
She isn't there because she has some remarkable memory.
She is there because she has spent her career in the field of research and teaching about memory and eye witness testimony.
He didn't say she was, you just made that up cos you're a fan of.
@@mojo6098 oh okay, right.
This was the best part of the trial! The prosecution was on fire today! Loving Sean right now!!
I loved the smile of the prosecutor 😊
I cant believe these defense attorneys continue to call this woman. Shes been made a fool and discredited over and over again.
Her cross examination in the Durst case was shocking too…😳
It's amazing that this woman still manages to be used in these cases. She is diabolical. She was proved to be a charlatan in the Hurst trial.
And she has the audacity to ask for more $$ when her memory is less sharp
Than 30 years ago?
@@lovepet4565That’s because she is for sale. She parrots whatever the defense wants.🤢
Lmao
Good helpful comment re Hurst trial...and sooooo many more.
she tried to help Jerry Sandusky and OJ Simpson
This is great material for SNL
YES!! Exactly I was thinking the same!
Wow, this prosecutor is so good! He destroyed Dr. Betty's objectivity and credibility. Her $700/hour murderer-advocacy hustle is over. This prosecutor demonstrated to all future prosecutors how to discredit this "memory expert" (with a poor memory). Brilliant cross-examination!
The feeling when we realize we're paying for all that wonderful travel and experiences she has had (and many many more people, more times, more innocent people killed and their trials). I am in the middle of her testimony...Is she going to be in Lori Wallow trial, when I watch it? this woman and her wonderful memory story?
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
She revealed herself when she bragged about how she got to meet one of the celebrity killers ' in person'. Cross examination was appropriate for this grifter presenting herself as an objective scientist. Her extreme bias was obvious.
Described Bundy as a " law student " when asked who he was and very reluctantly admitted he had done some bad things. I guess her role was to cast doubt on the testimony of eye witnesses. I wonder if she believed he was innocent.😵💫
Of course she is paid for the defendent
"Memory witness" ? 😂😂 She seems to remember the fees. But not much else! Hmmmmm😮
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😅😅
She doesn't recall much when questioned by the prosecutor . I don't remember...I don't recall! Great memory EXPERT 😅
And she keeps glaring and rolling her eyes at the jury 😂
❤❤❤❤
She's doesn't have an expert memory. She is an expert on memory. The fact she (like anyone) can't remember things only goes to back up her point about problems with memory.
I've never used this phrase before but, your comment is not the flex you think it is.
@@nargly8208 quick, get a towel and soak up your stupidity. Otherwise you’re going to drown in your own ignorance.
@@nargly8208 her own BOOK TITLE she wrote?
Who else sees the irony of an "expert" in memory studies saying repeatedly "I can't remember." :) :)
😂
But she sure remembers to send her bills out for 💰💰😂😂
“And isn’t it ironic? Don’t ya think?” 😂
This is a disaster 😂
😂 Good point
Hearing her repeatedly saying "I don't recall" was hilarious. She definitely milked the cash cow on this case 😂
She appears so proud of all her work for defense and murders. And only 1 for the prosecution. Clearly biased and she doesn’t appear competent enough. I think the prosecutor was gold and called her on all her inconsistencies and showed it’s purely all about money to her. I loved this. I can’t believe what I was watching.
This woman has been discredited countless times, I am so tired of defense attorneys continuing to utilize her “knowledge and expertise” when it comes to the understanding of memory.
They use her because she will say whatever they want.
For that much per hour obviously 🙄
Yet she can’t remember anything!
she is distinguished
I wonder if she shares office space with Alyce LaViolette .
She was completely discredited when she testified for Jodi Arias as a DV expert.
He absolutely obliterated her credibility. She admitted she is bias. Fabulous job by the prosecution & quite funny as well.
A body language expert would enjoy this one.
Funny how Traconis has this "expert" on . . . kind of a dud. The lies, activity, and her overeager hatred of the mother of five whose husband she hooked up with smell to high heaven. I'm not buying her story: hoping the jury isn't either. She's a piece of work. Odd how she was so nasty about the dying dog . . . didn't think that maybe the children should have kept the dog. She has zero empathy for the family she destroyed and its all too easy to see her orchestrating this. She is superficial, glib, and the ride around Hartford disposing of bloody garments, etc. was obscene: how could any intelligent person NOT question that.
NOT BUYING IT.
Totally disagree with the judge here. The prosecution surely has a right to show this is a rent-a-witness!
And the jury needs to hear it.
This judge is atrocious, a diversity hire no doubt, and needs to retire asap
The judge is a creep
They all are
Which rule of evidence are you interpreting? Or is it the Connecticut Rules of CZcams Evidence?
Prosecutor brilliantly dismantled and neutered a hired gun for the defense.
😂
I hope she doesn't have a driver's license she'd forget where she left her car lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Has she never had tough questions in court? Shes acting shocked about being asked these questions. Its kind of bizarre.
Narcissism has that effect on people. They’re always shocked when they are questioned about anything.
I bet she’s coming down with dementia. She’s 79; my father’s dementia started at 77.
Please let Sean do closing arguments!
Over 4+ years, she billed for 11 hours…and watched the hair stylist’s testimony….😂
Jeeezz I cannot believe she admitted that. Terrible. LAME
😂😂😂 good one 👍
I agree, this was disheartening to hear. You’d think she would have followed all the testimony more thoroughly, but she keeps saying she helps only with memory issues. Apparently this doesn’t include her memory issues. She could be a good professor, and maybe she should stick to that since she can’t remember the name of the book she wrote in 1991. I think she would have been a better witness if she had studied a bit before the hearing and refreshed her memory on some things.
Wow, he did his homework 📚
No a state spends millions on dozens of people working in the background and are told what to say. where as most people on trial have very little to spend so it’s always a miss match from the beginning. This is why so many innocent people go to jail in the real world.
He sure did he was spot on
@@stevenprice6957wrong
When the defence hires wackos like this, you know you DO NOT have a case 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh yes. You are very right!
I wonder how many cases she testified at won 😂
😂😂😂😂
Exactly! I saw someone comment calling her a rent a witness. So accurate. She’s just paid to say whatever the attorney is asking her to. Trying to create enough doubt to make the jury second guess the physical evidence. It’s the most ridiculous part of the judicial system.
This memory witness can’t remember anything! 😂 Love the prosecutor! He’s awesome!!!
He’s a dweeb and disrespectful. Total tosser. That goes for most cops when interviewing. The fact is cops use their power of lies and deception and then wonder why a person on interrogations has changes on their statements. This is why many people are falsely accused arrested them sent to jail.
He's great, isn't he? I really enjoy watching him doing his work here ❤
Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!” You think I make $700 per hours?!?! “
I love to listen to this prosecutor❤️
He’s great! 👏🏽
I think the prosecutors questions are fair game, if defense is going to bring her as a an expert.
Exactly!!
Agreed
Her memory is terrible
😂
Unhinged is the Witness
😂😂😂😂
Oh boy, prosecution on fire today 🔥 They deconstructed this witnesses credibility beautifully - Judge “we’re going to take a recess because things are becoming unhinged!😂😂
I LOVE the Judge but I was a little bit disappointed in him for the first time and all due to this particular witness, of ALL PEOPLE
This judge is horrible and needs to consider retirement. Diversity hires at work
They got ripped off hiring her as a memory expert. 😂
They higher her so nobody remembers anything
@@annadembowska1160 lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I hope they don't remember to pay the bill. 💸 😂
Now that’s a judge that has his court room in order! Love that. Respect for that judge.
The baritone in his voice alone commands the room. I wish he was at my house during homework time and bedtime 😂
Agree
Great judge
I don’t know if he’s ever been a professor, but I’ve learned so much from him listening to him explain court procedures and objections.
With a memory like that, she could be the president.
For Sure!
Best comment ever! Thanks @SandrinaN ... I needed a laugh. 😊
😂
Body language shows she is lying as well
This prosecutor deserves $600 per hour not her😂
This was the highlight of my day watching it live 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best cross examination I've ever seen!!
It was so funny for sure
Mine too
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A book dedicated to those who have been wrongfully accused. Photo of Ted Bundy.😂😂😂😂😂 The prosecutor is loving this witness in the courtroom. Appearing for the defence in numerous trials for some of the most heinous defendants in the last 40 years who were found guilty. What a perfect witness for the prosecution.
To think the defense fought hard to have her come in. In hindsight they might be regretting that now
Heehee
I haven't laughed this hard in awhile. "You think I make $700 an hour?" Truth. Judge got cranky because he's getting up there in age too. She may have been respected in this field in the past, but it is time to know when you need to move on.
I noticed same thing!!!!
Exactly! I loved the prosecutor. I think he has a little sense of humor mixed in there. 😂 And he’s only pointing out the insane craziness of Horn and defense. He’s not like that with the states witnesses.
Yep time for her to retire.
@@NowThenCT
Did you see prosecution lawyer smile at the lady lawyer he is working with 😉we’ve got this one 👍😂🤞
@@Pickbabymomno kidding ,
isn’t Michelle paying for this women 😂😂
Big mistake
She isn’t saving your butt Michelle !
She should be fired and have to reemburse the people she was hired by
Ya, she was horrible! She got a lot of money and didn't help AT ALL! Wonder what she made when defense witness for Bundy, Dahmer, Phil Spector case, OJ case, Coach Sandusky case, and more!! She will do anything for money!!! WOW She did not help MT's case at all -- LOL
Maybe I will look into a career change for this rate. I mean I don’t need to remember much so….
She is concerning more about the money then this case
Harmony s dad was found guilty on all counts
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
💜🌈🕊️🙏
I was heartbroken with Harmony! I hope he got life without the possibility of parole!
👏 😇 🕊️ ❤
Sentencing Date after April 1, 2024.
This is an expert on memory???????????? Unreal.
Beautiful cross examination.....the memory expert who cant recall...
This witness for the defense has a taste for criminals, including Ted Bundy! She has memory issues as well.
The irony of it
She claims to not remember.
Weinsten
OJ
& Sanduaky
@@lovepet4565 Robert Durst!
Like Michelle 😮😅
$600 an hour? They got ripped off.
😂
Prosecution is doing a great job of getting it out there inspite of objections .
In spite of this half baked diversity hire judge
She teaches and published 21 books, yet she didn’t remember the titles of her books. She has little recollection on quotes she wrote 30 years ago, but when asked abt Ted Bundy, she seemed to have sharp memory. She refused to describe him as convicted criminal but rather a law student in the ‘70s. Selective memory.
If she teaches (sounds like she still does), would she be repeatedly mentioning and quoting herself from her books? How could a title of her book so unremarkable if this is one of her “babies” (books)?
Also, she mentioned she has no opinion on certain things, yet she is being paid to make assessment and opine based on her scientific knowledge.
Michelle, your defence lawyer overpaid someone who couldn’t assist in your acquittal. I hope your team has more credible scientists aiding you tomorrow. Bc you lost. I knew from your demeanour in your second interrogation that you were co-conspirator, if not, pressured Fotis to the crime. But when I saw Pawel testified, it was over! There’s no way you could redeem yourself.
She just brushed over all the murdered women in Pacific Northwest
She is a 🧙
@@lovepet4565she was there to promote herself, not assist Michelle her trial. Who knows, she’d be billing $800/hr on her next expert witness testimony 😂
@user-rl5lt1vx2o you are absolutely correct 😮
See how excited she gets when they mentioned visiting a mass murderer. She's horrid
Well it’s a good thing you’re not credible either and your opinion doesn’t matter.
$700 an hr for someone with selective memory 😂😂😂
Arrogance
That was the sale price😅
Her current rate is $700 per hour but it was made clear in the start of this video she’s billing $600 per hour in this case.
If you put yourself out there as an expert then you should demonstrate actual expertise. This lady is selling the snake oil and using her age as a shield of her incompetence. Activist not advocate.
Very well said!
She is exactly what’s wrong with the science of psychology today
Exactly like Amber Heards’s psychology witness. Not prepared and seemingly bought for false testimony as to today’s basic psychology evaluations.
His witness was on point without personal bias.
He shredded her - destroyed her credibility and totally exposed exactly what she does- I suspect she won't be getting any more $700 per hour jobs - all a prosecutor would have to do is repeat this performance.
I think she just now has met a prosecutor who IS happy to see her in the court room. He annihilated her and the defense’s case on selective memory 😅. I bet she remembers how many hours to bill them for at her astronomical $700/hour. Great work by the prosecutor.
The judge’s “SUSTAINED” made me sit down and shut up halfway across the country!! lol
She has quite the side hustle going on.
Loved the prosecution cheeky smile 😂😂😂
Hidden behind the judge for good measure.
This "Memory Expert" has the memory of a sieve, & her bias is glaringly evident. farcical.
Plus she has quite a resume for "helping" with the defense in a long line of famous people who were convicted!
The prosecutor is cooking her goose🪿
This memory expert doesnt remember half the things she was asked. She is 79. Jennifer's mother is 88 and sharo like a razor.
Someone get this lady a notebook to take notes 😆
😂
Ah Dr. Elizabeth Loftus from The Robert Durst trial. 😂
Less we forget defending Bundy in his first kidnapping trial
She's dispicable
Defensive posture😮
Don't forget about Dorothy Lewis from the Stauch trial
@@PlAiNJaNe521that was down right embarrassing too, I’m not sure she was ever credible but certainly she had lost too many brain cells to make anything positive for the defense. Her son should have shut her career down long ago to save her reputation but then again he makes his living on the back of his frail mother.
It amazes me that anyone still takes her seriously. She was painful to watch in the Durst trial.
Sucks when the memory expert can't recall or remember important information.
Best “episode” of the season. 😂
This so called expert seems more like a grifter.
This prosecutor was on fire with her!
I LOVE the judge and lawyers; their exchanges are crackling, logical and sharp! the judge is no slouch - he’s firmly and gruffly laying down the law
This is hysterical 😅
Priceless…the memory expert doesn’t remember relevant information. So worth that $600. per hour. She can’t even remember the title of a book she wrote. We’re all breathlessly awaiting her scientific, impartial, expert opinion.
It was in the Robert Drust trial they had a doctor like this and she couldn't remember crap so I figured this doctor would be the same>>>>>>And She Was>>>Terrible Memory 🤣
This witness was in another trial, do you recall what trial?
It was HER during the Durst trial
And she was eviscerated by the prosecuting attorney!
Is was her lol
Obviously she didn’t do her homework before this case. Wow she just looked at getting paid $600 a hour. I think this was a bad defense witness.
This lady is a terrible witness. Money can’t buy you a great witness. 😂
A memory expert with no memory. This is a joke . Michelle Traconis is a liar and needs to be held accountable for what she has done. My heart goes out to a young woman whose life was taken and children who are left without a mother. Justice for Jennifer.
My favorite part was the prosecutor running through the list of the former defense teams she's testified for - OJ Simpson, Ted Bundy, Timothy McVeigh, Harvey Wienstein. And yet she considers herself a neutral witness.
WTF could she have ever added to WEINSTEIN or MCVEIGH's cases ?
Menéndez, Michael Jackson etc she is over the place.. 😯
The irony
😂😂 right on
Do they pay her not to have any memory? That makes more sense as opposed to being an expert witness.
That's a great point 😂
😂😂😂 good one
Ahahahahahah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I love this prosecutor 😂😂😂
Let's reserve our sympathy for the victims. The witness deserves zero. She's getting paid to testify, and that includes being grilled by the Prosecutor.
Amazing how she can’t recount anything about her book then suddenly remembers details about the book.
This witness had a short interview outside the court and she mentioned MT as an inocent person and the detectives as unwanted people. I think that alone compromises her testimony in court.
So apparently she's now a detective and attorney too. She should get $800/hr.😂
Prosecutor is having fun exposing her.
Not now...judge just called him out for disrespect.
She needs to retire. Memory issues are an early sign of dementia. Not laughing at her, but this is utterly ridiculous. I don't remember as if she was on trial.
This was the BEST questioning ever!! 😂❤❤❤❤
The only thing she remembers were the fees she bills !
"...things are becoming unhinged!"
Me-every day at work!
😂
Best cross examination EVER!! Ted Bundy? Timothy Vacveigh? OJ?
Ya, ouch
Hmmm, I'm reading about her early years as a child living in LA's ultra rich neighborhood, BEL AIR (her dad was a physician). Tragically her mom drowned in the family pool in 1959 (hmmm, kinda suspect IMHO) and then in 1961 the BEL AIR FIRE burned 500 homes and 1600 acres which made them homeless(until new home was built). Around that same time her father remarried which started a difficult time in her life due to a new step-monster(mother) who brought her 3 kids into the marriage (new step-monster siblings). Just thought everyone would find this bit of trivia interesting.
She probably doesn't remember any of that either 🤣
@@JeepGirl941😂
She’s not worth the money!
Jennifers mom was sharper than this Prof
Did she answer even one question straight? How very frustrating. Surely the jury will see right through her and discount her testimony for the defence.
Masterful cross examination by this prosecutor ..as the dr. and her diff shades of color are brought to light
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is a dark comedy !!! laughing so hard
Watching her is disturbing 😮
For a memory person, she doesn’t remember a lot
