- Taking the stand allows defendants and witnesses to tell their story, but also gives prosecutors the ability to grill the accused and untruthful testifiers. The most intense moments in court often happen under cross-examination. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber the top six most heated moments from cross-examinations in high-profile trials.

The first woman is courageous and her resilience is admirable. To endure that and still be able to face her attacker. Not only face him but really stand her ground. Good for her.
I remember that trial. She was INCREDIBLE!
Courageous or vindictive? 🤔😂😉
What an awful experience to face him in court like this. He is clearly a narcissist. She is literally being revictimized by him.
"meet Jesus" omg that is the funniest thing I have ever read... Imagine going through that as a victim and still believing in make belief. Did you also think you were gonna meet the Stay Puft Marshmallow man?
@@shutitfukfacejust because you don’t believe does not give you the right to ridicule others. What is wrong with you? Did you forget to take your meds?
Narcissists view the courtroom as a stage.
They sure do.
This how my Mother thinks about the police/ court their brains thrive on this shitshow.
And the accused see it as a day to confront their accusers.
Just like Johnny Depp....
Heard's refusal to acknowledge that a financial pledge and donation are different cast her as a liar.
Yes!! Yes!! One of her endless and many, many lies!! I watch it again for pure Entertainment!!
In reference to the first case, I think it should be noted that he did have an attorney until it was time to cross-examine his ex-wife. Then he decided to go pro se. That is some sick, twisted strategy.
It wasn’t even a strategy. He just wanted to victimize her one last time
His revenge questioning was psychopathic behavior, and the witness turned it around and blistered him with her answers, refuting his shabby and transparent [final] attempt to control her. She just wasn't gonna take it anymore from that 🍑🤡.
@@PanAm-dd7qy Amen. She was awesome on that stand. It took some real courage to be able to face someone who has done things like that to you, but she handed it like a champion.
Amber lied too many times, it becomes easy to assume shes always lying
She was the worst part of her own trial lolol😂
The way she kept acting to the jury while Johnny was answering questions to the person that asked him. She came across so fake. She set victim's back 20 years with that crap.
Yet there are rubes who still think she was telling the truth. 😂🫢🙄🥴😤🙄
Amber lost the minute she took the stand
Amber is a monster. Pure evil.
It didn't help that she referred to her make-up as her "bruise kit".... since bruise kits are used in the filming industry to create fake bruises. That was a massive slip up.
"I misspeak a lot." Probably not the best thing to say when you're accusing someone of wrong doing and suing them for it 😅
That dude is the worst kind of worst human being. Liar, swindler, con man and conniver.
I threw my hands up at that point, saying, “ That’s it. You just testified against yourself.”
Also the balls on him travelling to all those places yet claiming his life was ruined. 🙄
i dont think you or your 8 measly upvoters understand what it means to testify against yourself @@lacountess
Camille Vasquez handed down one of the greatest cross examinations I’ve ever seen. I was in awe with her.
Bcz of Camille I now love cross examination. I watch them all for any court case I see on CZcams
It was textbook! Several members of 'LawTube' said it should be used in law school to teach cross examination. (and that it probably will be)
I’m in tears listening to the wife stand up to this monster. She shredded into him!
@@col.cottonhill6655Her ex husband.
On my goodness!!!!
It was very chilling and Triggering.
Yes. Totally.
He ain't did nothin'!!
That's crazy she used to be married to that guy
May Jesus bless the first woman. She is so bold and brave to speak about what happened plainly and simply.
What happened to your channel
She is bold and brave - but lets' stop it there. Jesus doesn't exist, so he wont be blessing anybody.
@@jesmarinatrue lol
"Heard got highly Emotional".. not a single tear.. pretty emotional.
The only emotional time for her in trial was the end when they reading the charges against her then u see raw emotion in her, no other time!
Crocodile tears.
Elisa is an absolute Amazon warrior. That sick fiend Trevor Summers was getting off on forcing her to relive the experience with him. What a monster.
The truth just rings well, true. The first clip was so powerful. She is entirely believable.
🤔
Who, Karen? "meet Jesus" omg that is the funniest thing I have ever read... Imagine going through that as a victim and still believing in make belief. Did you also think you were gonna meet the Stay Puft Marshmallow man?
Can’t be serious. Not believable at all. She’s a Karen 💯
@@shutitfukface Only the fool says there is no God.
The husband dug his own grave arrogantly wishing to represent himself, he did her a huge favor to say everything that had been building up inside her for a long time.
I would be shaking with absolute fear, anger and the memories of that trauma if I was that first woman! I can’t imagine facing an attacker like that. Wow! Incredible, incredible strength to do that!! ❤
Nonsense
@@acatrica4074wow....really?!
@@katelinstach6995 yes...really
Get a grip muppet.
@@acatrica4074based
Was Vasquez nasty? Or was she just pointing out obvious facts. Those pictures were factual and damming of Heard's outrageous lies and people still cling to the idea they were true and that her make-up and ice explanation is plausible. Vasquez was clinical but not nasty, the awkwardness wax created by Heard refusing to accept she has been caught out in an obvious lie
If she had not been lying & had she truly been a victim of SA, that would have been a truly brutal cross examination! It’s not just about establishing the facts, it’s about the tone of voice they use, the speed they throw questions & the intent to tear someone apart who may have suffered a horrific assault. Imagine those questions being thrown at your mum, partner, sister or daughter. I was horrified hearing that until I realised who she was & heard how the evidence did not match her story.
@@allisonjames2923you said what if it was your loved one on the stand and having the lawyer talk to them the same way. Hears the thing they already knew that AH was in fact lying or else I don't believe Ms Vasques wouldn't had spoken to her in that way. That's the difference they already knew she was lying and they shoved it rightfully so in her face 😊
Ambers condescending tone in the cross, and also the lack of emotion compared to her “testimony” is what convinced me she was the abuser.
He wasn't saying "nasty" in a derogatory manner. It's like saying she destroyed Heard on the stand.
I think it’s so funny watching Amber Heard turning to give EVERY response to the jury. The jury stated after the trial that they hated that she did that throughout the whole trial.
It's a narcissistic thing. They constantly scan people to see how they are reacting to their gaslighting. They adjust what they say or how they say it based on how people are reacting. Highly manipulative, and creepy. Jodi Arias did the same thing and it worked out just as well for her.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez and Jodi Arias - epic
Omg yes when he dropped the gas cans receipt and when she told him she can’t remember bc of guys like him yelling at her
I've watched that cross-examination an unhealthy amount of times
How could @lawandcrime leave this out? You need a top 10.
@@Elegant_Sausage im not proud of admitting I have done the same
@Elegant_Sausage Same. Glad I'm not alone! 😅
Poor Johnny. I had a wife like Amber. You love them and hope they get better but the lies, the poop, the beatings. You still love them after all that. She's sick but her choice make her evil. It's very ugly.
She's not sick ..just evil!
@@KatharinaK117She has a mental disorder. Actually 3 of them! Bipolar disorder, Histrionic personality disorder, and I can't remember the last one.
@@tinavasquez7206 tht comes from.using drugs n drinking.... she's evil. Not an excuse to be "sick". But yea...sick in her mind...
The poop. Mental issues do involve feces for some strange reason. 🤷🏻♀️
I am also interested in the feces aspect of mental illness, my grandmother was a nurse in prisons for mentally ill and they did a lot of crap with crap (pun intended).
Johnny's lawyer went for the jugular....👏
“Meagan killed her kids”. Wow. Some damming words. Totally separating himself from his victims. His own children. Sick.
Amber Heard claims brutal assault and as evidence of said assault she presents a photo of her face at a movie premiere and claims all the injuries are under makeup. Never bothered to get any medical attention though.😂
Many victims of domestic violence won’t seek attention or won’t go to police because of extreme fear of their agressor or love for the agressor. I believe she didn’t seek medical attention because she was crazy in love for him.
Amber never loved Johnny and the reason Amber never sought medical attention because nothing happen to her.
Amber lost this case all by her lonesome. She proved exactly who and what she was and is in my opinion.
The first woman is one of the strongest people I’ve ever seen.
IMO, The Lawyer , Johnny's lawyer , that cross examined Dr. Spiegel, (Ambers star witness ) was the fiercest and with such a calm manner completely destroyed that witness's testimony.
Denisson or something along those lines. He fumbles around letting them into a false security then smashes them.
Wayne Dennison. He was a powerhouse in that Trial
Very professional and effective!
@@marcopalazzo9349omg yes, he acts like he’s so lost and then BAM! Gotcha
Dennison deserves so much more credit. And the cross against the Karen psychologist Dawn Hughes
the alex jones judge really did nothing about the shouting lol
She was loving it, she picked a side.
I wonder if the families ever got there four hundredty bilionion million dollars or whatever ridiculous number they invented. That whole thing was sad to see honestly. A bunch of sad empty parents taking their frustration out on a shock jock. Spending their days milking Alex Jones for money instead of making speechs running for office or volunteering to help mentally ill people. You know something to make their childrens senseless deaths...mean something?
I guess they could settle for getting rich off it though. Democrats are strange creatures.@@joshuakelly9390
the first wife is such a hero to many in a similar position , i hope she realises
She is not crying. I haven't seen even one tear since this whole thing started. She just makes faces like she might be, but not one tear.
Depp vs Amber but Johnny Depp came out on top as the old saying goes ‘remember this is the day you almost caught jack sparrow’
Love this!!😂❤
Amber was super creepy the way she kept looking at the jury.
Amber's lies are a whole other point!!
@@ArmoredCommie Apart from all the times we know she was not telling the truth, which was most of the time.
@@ArmoredCommiehow to say you didn’t watch the trial without saying you didn’t watch the trial.
@@ArmoredCommie Umm.. No you didn't. She said she paid the charities, THAT WAS A LIE!
@@ArmoredCommie where is your evidence that she paid the charities one cent? Waiting.....8 years after the liar told the world that she donated all of her divorce settlement she has still not paid one cent. FACT 👍👌
Representing yourself should be illegal.
An accused criminal should never be able to question victims.
Absolutely disgusting,
Fortunately when monsters like this choose to represent themselves in court, they do such a poor job that they usually dig their own grave and jump right In
@@djradio90True, I was surprised the guy didn’t accidentally flat out admit to the crime during the Cross Examination
@@djradio90 I don’t know but believe what you are saying. Still it’s hard enough reliving it, let alone being questioned by the alleged perpetrator. It must be traumatising
Sanderson probably thought that Paltrow would just give him the 300K just to be done with it.
Although the trial of Johnny depp made most of the noise , grabbing even our attention at the other side of the world. The rest of the cases were far more intense , the first one , what a brave woman!! Lots of respect for her.
You should have included when they ask Amber You still haven't donated the 7m, donated no pledged, donated the 7 m to charity? and she answer Incorrect, I pledged the entirety of this 7m, I use pledge and donation synonymous.
I felt ashamed of her
Crazy moment but I was happy for Depp because it shows what kind of person Heard is. I think for Depp the case was never about winning or losing. It was about putting everything on the table and with everything transparent sheesh it made Heard look shady.
Particularly as she enjoys being a very well-read person. Such BS.
@@thegroovyheadthe books were just props. She didn't even know the difference between parquet and parakeet. 😂
I expected that part to be in here, too! 😄😃
They all sugarcoat her, none presenting the facts for what they are

When a person gets fined an amount that is impossible to be paid what's the use of that?
It takes everything they have going forward
Exactly wtf is the point of owing 1 billion? Pathetic
He was just reported as spending ridiculous amounts of money, instead of paying them, and is begging for donations online.
camille vasquez is the goat
Camille is my IDOL❤😂
Omg the first woman! Like seriously 🙄 the laws need to change
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
In many states in Australia, including Family Court and Magistrate Court, if there is Domestic Violence (whether physical, emotional, etc) then the defendant cannot cross-examine the victim.. It is the way it should be.
Amber Heard’s hair for the entire trial was that of a psycho.
The way Amber Heard kept looking at the jury while answering the entire trial is a clear sign of someone lying, but trying to convince people that they're telling the truth.
Not really. It’s a technique often used, and makes people feel less pressured while being crossed. It’s the jury that needs to hear your answers, not the gallows
Not true at all. Watch the darrell brooks trial. He hated that some witnesses turned to the jury when answering him and the state, like they said there here for the jury to present the case to the jury.
@@LeeLee-tw2woExactly
@@ladyjustice9457Yes for some of the time, not for every single question. Even lawyers, said it was creepy the way she stared at them.
The attorney in the Alex Jones trial is the same one for the parkland school officer trial. He’s highly emotional and I’m here for it.
I don't watch Alex Jones, but I do feel some of his trial was politically motivated because he is a far-right person. He is worth 900 million, but they want him to pay more than he is worth.
Maybe his ponytail is too tight. 😂
@sylviaking8866 he's still a d bag.
@@sylviaking8866....That is not at all why he was sued.....just because he is far right. He was sued and lost because for years he made the claim to his viewers that the Sandy Hook school massacre wasn't real and that there were child actors used to portray the victims. He was on recording telling other people that he knew that wasn't true but his viewers " are it up" and it led to high ratings and he was making a lot of money by lying. The trauma he put all those families of those murdered children was despicable. And he was caught in lie after lie and he also illegally tried to hide assets before filing bankruptcy. Educate yourself before you speak of something you know nothing about. As it emerged at trial this had nothing to do with politics. 7 of the child victims had both parents as registered Republicans. The fact is he continued to spread a lie that he himself knew was a lie after he had been warned to stop and he continued to do so to enrich himself as far right Republicans are absolutely the stupidest, most easily manipulated group of people on earth and they are all suckers for conspiracy theories.
@@sylviaking8866they wanted to silence him so he could never recover.
I remember when that father cross examined his little boy on who killed his mommy, when he saw his daddy do it, there should be a law against this!
Johnnys will go down in history 100%.
Alex Murdaugh has shark eyes.
He's SO gross
The thing that me angry about amber heard was she kept turning her head and addressing the jury, Not speaking to the person asking the questions. Liar!
Case number 1 should of never occurred. This woman is brave and I truly wish her well and proper recovery. She is a survivor and a brave one at that. ❤
Darrell Brooks shouldve been number 1 on this
Definitely! And his own witnesses were even worse for him than the prosecutions!
I’ve seen enough of that jack hole. I hope he gets the same as what Dahmer got in prison. Google it.
My man 😀
Wow, awesome compilation and editing for maximum impact of these cross-x court proceedings. Well done.
I have to say you did a great job with this video, straight to the point and the background stories before each case were so accurate..well done ✅
That's what I love about Law & Crime. They're the most informative with the least amount of fluff.
That first case 😡 that absolute gall to represent himself is so sick and disgusting and manipulative
Jesse Weber is so easy to listen to. Love this show.
And easy on the eyes 👀
@@morellapoe2814Very.
Excellent assortment of clips. It could have even had an alternate title: “cringiest cross-examination moments” because months -or even years- later, I’m still cringing as I watch some of those defendants (ex Amber Heard) continue to lie, hopelessly and blatantly, on the stand for all to see. Honestly makes me seize up, from second hand embarrassment.
I completely agree. Both Amber and Alex Jones are superrrrr cringe. Lol.
@@burntherest9118 yes he was super cringe, too…and he really thought he had “done something” there. Another character from The Office: court version
@@BackrowErnie 😂 it’s definitely a comedy
Yes! So uncomfortable to watch!
Murdoch’s weight loss progress since this all started is commendable. Really. Didn’t know about him before, but I understand why people are always yelling “tell us your secret!!”.
Hello, and Thank You for always having Excellent videos!
Thank you. Great coverage. One of the verdicts I do disagree with, but that's a whole other conversation.
Oooo.... which one?
@@arifloraaaOh, I hope he doesn’t answer .. I have a good idea what he’s talking about.
Hey thanks for the interesting content! I havent heard of most of these and now i have stuff to watch 😃🍿
It’s almost unwatchable to see AH look at the jury literally EVERY TIME she answers a question
The Anthony Todd case was my most entertaining one. I kept laughing throughout, the best part was when the prosecutor said to him “….I ask you questions, you don’t ask me questions…”.
I'm not going to lie that cross-examination was brutal for him.
He was so smug trying to bully the prosecutor, he didn’t realize how detrimental that was to his case in front of a jury who were there to judge his character among other things.
And it sucks that Johnny had to pay for something he didn’t even say
The best part of the Todt trial was the contrast between his demeanor answering his defense attorney’s questions and answering the prosecutor’s
Same with amber heard. It was literally night and day.
Good lord that first exchange was bananas.
The same thing happened with Dararel Brooks who deliberately ran through a Christmas parade and killed I believe 7 people - he defended himself and would not even concede that he was who he was - he talked about himself in the third person. Just nasty
Darrell brooks who? He didn’t consent to be called that name! Geez get it right! 😂 (kidding of course)
Great video. Thanks!
Love Sidebar!!!❤
That judge is the Alex jones trial should be removed from the bench
He proves that the entire court case was politically motivated. Having to pay 1 billion to me is annihilation of Jones. Not justice.
Great parsed content. Well done.
Too many people in USA are using court time for nothing. What a waste of time and energy.
Ooooo nothing makes my blood boil like that first one.
I know it’s a Constitutional issue but I just really don’t feel that people representing themselves should be allowed to directly cross-examine the people they’re accused of victimizing. The person on the stand should at the bare minimum have the option of testifying remotely. I doubt it’s as common an issue as it seems, but this to me is even worse than Darrell Brooks and that other guy that crossed his own son after killing the rest of the family.
To do something that horrific to someone then insist on taking it to trial and representing yourself because you want to gaslight and retraumatize them one last time…
Another great episode.
Well, I would say Sanderson is now infamous, not famous. Paltrow's lawyer Owen is now famous. Loved his mild mannered voice, his air of a disappointed parent questioning a naughty child. Not loud and aggressive, just unpacking the facts and driving home his point.
Normally I would unfortunately judge a book by its cover and not watch a creator like this, but I’m glad a I didn’t cause he’s definitely a top tier creator with Tons of great content 👍
Really enjoyed it
Amber Heard's cross-examination was SO GOOD!
It was one of the most THRILLING MOMENTS AND EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I GET CHILLS REMEMBERING ❤❤❤❤❤
@@christinemerritt974 I agree. That trial and the Gwyneth Paltrow trial gave me something to look forward to. We need more trials like them.
@@maxfrax333I'm hoping the show the case of Maya's family against a hospital. From the netflix doco
@@marcopalazzo9349 I'm not familiar with that one.
The Cross Examination really helped Johnny Depp's case
That cross in the murdaugh case was one of the best crosses ive ever seen in my life. He really laid the hammer down on him. You could tell Alex was caught st that point. It was that part specifically after watching every single second of the trial prior that i was like he 100% did it. Hes guilty.
Good segment.👍
Side note: Jesse’s background looks eerily reminiscent of a crime scene.
Thanks. Very interesting.
Creighton Waters gave a master class in prosecuting and cross examination.
Incredible job.
Whoa the first video is insane. I’m sorry but in that type of circumstance he shouldn’t be allowed to question her. That is insane
He has the right to face his accuser and also represent himself
I guess the bill of rights is insane
I like this vid. Good insight and interesting.
"I may not agree with what you say, BUT I will give my life for your Right to say it!"
What kind of law allows perpetrators interview their victims on the stand. Makes me so mad! Did nobody learned a thing in the Ted Bundy trial? I am european, so excuse my grammar.
If the lawyer for the family really cares about the families, why would he NOT want Jones to apologize??
Camille should be put in the history books under Savage in the index. 🥰
I find the blue on Amber's arm weird, it looks more like foundation! and I'm sorry for her but facial injuries can't be covered with makeup! These are traces that remain for more than 15 days, I have seen enough women beaten by alcoholic husbands!! don't forget, she's an actress, even if she's not an excellent actress, she's still an actress, she learned makeup or posture techniques to appear more of a victim!! I don't trust him at all, and Johnny Depp was with a French actress, that went quite well!!
Her facial expressions say a lot taking that photo,why not take the injuries to face as in the photo there was none.fell in her own trap.
The issue isn't just the bruising and swelling that would have happened. When someone wears chunky rings like that, not only will bones break, but soft tissue and muscle will be torn, jaggedly, skin would be ripped off in chunks. Reconstructive surgery would be required. You don't take multiple blows to the face from someone with chunky rings, ice it, put makeup on and have your picture taken the next day. The gaslighting is off the charts here, and her story also does not stand up to basic reason.
I watch all trials here!!
Trying to squeeze all the juice out of these cases…can’t wait for the 2023 year in review for intense testimony statements lol
“Highly emotional” lol riiiiight 😅
Im not the only one pickin´up on the "dirty laundry" line just before going to the depp court clip right ?!?!? hahahaha
My goodness, I get how the laws work but that poor first lady. What a messed up set of events.
I love law and crime. Jesse
Awful people getting what's coming to them just never gets old.
It really is a phenomenon
Im all in too!
PLEASE start putting timestamps for when the video clips will play!
The thing that INFURIATES me is that Alex Jones will NEVER pay a single penny to those poor people. The "system" is so effed up that they will never get anything from that POS.
Alexjonesisalwaysright
What do you mean? Is he appealing the judgement? I think the judgement against him is probably excessive (over a billion dollars), but I do agree they are entitled to something.
Why would that infuriate you? What's effed up is that all he did was say mean things and you think he should have to pay people a billion dollars for it.
@@nissanlover9460info wars
1.5 billion from one man
But pharma companies walk away free killing people with meds
Is the wall behind Jesse supposed to look like a crime scene? I like it.
Camille Vasquez is brains and beauty. Beautiful woman
The first guy pos with certification.. no words
Alex and amber, what delightful members of the society, despicable. And Anthony , no words
You deny it?
"not IF you have it on record"
