No man is worth that
I'll say!
And he’s nothing to look at that’s for sure
No man or woman I hope you mean to say
He has a very good body. Unless you like fat guys. Endurance athletes are always extremely lean and muscular. @@doodlemom4593
No man or woman is worth going to prison
well, "common sense" isn't really that common
@@user_1abc lol you got that right
of course he does not want to be here but that's his girlfriend/ex-girlfriend... he was a player and does not want to take responsibility for the chaos he left behind... of course it does not absolve Kaitlin Armstrong by any means... but she'll stay behind bars for the rest of her life... 2 lives were taken away from his indiscretions, having to deal with this is the price to pay...
Agreed.
Yes. How dare he keep his friendship and career connection with the winningest up and coming bike racer on the scene.
You guys are fools
@@steveshea7725 He's the fool. At this time he's lost everything. Couldn't keep his pants zipped. I hope the victim's family can sue him for providing a gun to Kaitlin. That thing about women being unsafe is BS. I rode the bike everywhere, alone, for years and never had a problem, including self-contained camping. I drove from New York to San Antonio, sleeping in the car most nights and never had a problem. Stuff can happen, but it is rare.
Everything you said and he's career is gone along with every sponsorship.
NO! Stop blaming him! Sure, maybe he's a scumbag, but it was his girlfriend that murdered the other woman, NOT him. Normal people leave a relationship, SHE chose to murder!
He was stringing both gals along
He had no obligation to make a commitment. Wilson was ok with the arrangement; Armstrong was not. Her problem was her manner of dealing with it, which cannot be tolerated.
He definitely was stringing Moriah along. All the way to her eventual death. Several text messages from Moriah showed that she was in a romantic relationship, or so she thought, with Colin, but that she was confused about his on again off again behavior. He’s being really disingenuous and disrespectful to Moriah (dead) and her family by minimizing how little her cared or thought about her other than a 1-week excusable fling as how he sort of describes it.
@@GH-oi2jf well he was living with Armstrong so he had an obligation to either finish it, or be faithful and he did neither. He literally went on a date with another woman.
@@GH-oi2jf He had the obligation not to be a lying douchebag. Not too much to ask. Read about the history of murderous love triangles. Do your homework. Nothing new.
@@GH-oi2jf Precisely!
Of course is gonna be painful for Colin,
if two people lost their lives because of you!!
One lost her life, the other lost her mind therefore her freedom.
He knows what he did.
At least shows he has a conscience.
The one innocent person isn’t among us anymore.
Just plain tragic.
Strickland did nothing to feel guilty about. There is only one criminal in this story - the killer. There is only one cheater in this story - Armstrong, who once cheated a business out of a payment for services, and more recently cheated the Texas justice authorities by fleeing to evade prosecution and cheated the Costa Rica authorities by entering on a fraudulent passport.
Of course Strickland would be upset at how things turned out, but he is not culpable for the crime.
yeh, he plays a part. Yeh she was clearly abnormally jealous and dysregulated but he strung her along, lied to her, basically went on DATES while still living with her. No wonder he's embarrassed and covering his face.
exactly...
Do not make excuses for that crazy woman because she was cheated on. People get cheated on every day but don’t kill
Mo was not innocent.
don't teach your daughters to put guys on a pedestal
I think Kaitlin has psychological wounds that she tries to control with all the body work she does. A lot of people use alcohol and drugs to "regulate" their emotions. I think she did the best she could and Mo might be alive if she didn't own a gun.
It just lookes like he just doesn’t want to here.. well I bet you the woman he had an affair with, who now is dead because of him.. would love to be around???
He doesn’t want to be there because he’s a selfish prick that doesn’t care about the victim or her family. He was reportedly clearly agitated that he had to answer questions about his dishonesty with concealing MO’s name to his GF and the timing of their relationships, etc. he was even agitated by camera crews reporting outside the court.
What a big fool of Colin, there's a plenty of men, very sorry for Mo!
Armstrong's and Strickland's mutual friend begged her to dump him.
@@Sally150 Dump him but he didn't kill Mo, Colin did🥴
Kaitlin is the crazy one.
@@winningpath789 I understand but Colin should move on; me too many times break up as hurt when I was young & don't speak former.
@@j.l.5935 He might be enjoying being the plaything that the two (stupid) females were fighting over.
What’s so disgusting in situations like these is the fact that two lives are over and the person in the middle of the saga will be free to go on and live, love and thrive freely. The two women are painful memories from his past. He still has a future. Her choice ended hers and Mo’s life. Over absolutely nothing worth losing freedom and death. Heartfelt prayers to Mo’s family. The testimony and evidence are truly heartbreaking 💔.
He's been ejected from his tribe.
@@Sally150why though? Why is he to blame?
Are you blaming men?
@@joanaflorez Because whether he agrees it or not - he was two timing. You can't be living with someone you claim to have broken up with. From an ethical stand point - it's best to completely get out of a relation before you even THINK of entering another one. I ain't justifying a murder but the guy did something our laws fail to point out let alone book or punish.
Rest In Peace, Mo. 😢 May God’s love comfort her family and her closest friends.
Why would this guy go and buy two guns at the same time he’s cheating? Hmmmm, weird. To me, he gave Katlynn access to a weapon knowing she was jealous etc….”accessory to murder” surprised he doesn’t get any charges at all. Oh well, that’s Texas for you
After this trial is over, and before the dust settles, he will be sued by the victim's family.
@@Sally150I hope so
Maybe he didn't know she was crazy at the time he bought the guns.
@@Sally150 hope they get justice! He created all this chaos just by not being honest.
Very good point. Very disturbing that he would buy two guns when he's 2-timing 2 women.
Even if your gf is grumpy, it doesn't give you the right to cheat.
🙄
If he wants to cheat, he can cheat. But, she has the right to move on. You don't have the right to kill someone because you're jealous they are younger and attractive.
It’s been happening since humans existed.
"WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!" ROSS GELLER
@@winningpath789just because he has the legal right to do something doesn’t mean he’s not a scumbag that destroyed two lives.
He’s a coward! Not to have a clue?
I get confused about all these questions about the nature of the relationship. Why does it matter? Murder is murder.
The closer the relationship, the stronger the motive for murder!
I think it's more likely that the defense is trying to show that his abusive ways caused her to go Bezerk. Well forget about it, she did not kill Mo in self-defense. @@scholarlyanalyst7700
@@Becki545There’s no defending what Kaitlyn did. Definitely has to face consequences, she killed a person.
But when this happened Colin Strictland’s said this about Kaitlyn:
"She is one of the least volatile people I have ever met"
But now it was a tumultuous relationship, quite convenient🤔
Yet as soon as he dropped Mo off he texted Kaitlyn:
Hey? Are you out?” I went to drop some flowers for Alison at her son’s house up north and my phone died. Heading home unless you have another food suggestion.” HE LIED!
If they weren’t together he didn’t have to lie? Doesn’t seem like they weren’t in a relationship.
Again I’m in no way justifying the what Kaitlyn did. She has to accept the consequences.
I hope a lot of people see this and realize nobody’s worth it!
Right. If they were just roomies, why all the secrets?
When I said "defense," I was referring to her legal defense. She does have a lawyer and the lawyer's job is to come up with a defense. @@belmoon8711
@@Becki545 Exactly, he’s trying to portray the relationship as “roomies” yet he called Kaitlyn his girlfriend when everything happened, until it wasn’t convenient.🙄
Yes, her defense attorney has to do his job.
One dead, the other in jail and he’s “free”.
Colin Strickland has a lot to answer for. He instigated this and while I am not condoning what the defendant did, he started all this. He is a coward and equally responsible for what happened.
Agree 100%. When you 2-time women you're playing with fire.
He should be charged as an accessory. He bought the gun and put it in her hands while he was cheating.
Colin looks basic looking. It’s hard to believe someone would be jealous. This is such a tragic case.
Agree, almost as basic as your comment.
I agree Daneen.
In the world of gravel racing, he was a superstar. Lost everything over this. Sponsor, career. Kind of sad. Nobody was a winner in this mess.
@@shaunb93291 hopefully the sponsorships can now go to someone else who has more integrity and a nicer character
He's a hot guy, if you are an endurance athlete and especially if you are a cyclist. He has the perfect cycling body. 6'4" of lean muscle. He's probably below 10% body fat. His face is pretty mundane.
They're blocking comments they're only letting people write nice things. Which creates a fake forum...
Hat, sunglasses, and a big mask -- what's he hiding from?
He probably feels like he has some blood on his hands.
Then say you’re sorry for being an asshole Colin. Admit that you are selfish and lack integrity.
Guilt
Bet he wishes he could wear a burka hijab
@@Sally150That’s funny!!!!😊
Dating a girl or a man gives you the opportunity to know if they’re crazy or not but man and woman decide to ignore this signs and then this happens…
Why would he be mad at being at the trial regarding his girlfriend killing another cyclists?
If my boyfriend did that ai would be looking him straight in the eye with so much anger 🤬
It makes no sense
He is 37
Armstrong was 35
But Mo was 25
That's a big age difference
Many men , especially narcissistic men like this guy, get vindictive when rejected.
He knew for a long time Armstrong was possessive and irrational
Why buy her a gun?
He is such a narcissist that all he is thinking about is Me Me ME and how this inconveniences him
How he is treating the press , the jury by closing his eyes and soft voice.
If this happened to most people's friend they would be so cooperative, speaking loudly with anger at his ex
Because he is not makes him suspect.
He should not get any sponsors for this irresponsible behavior.
Many would even be talking to the Press freely talking about their nutty 🥜🥜 ex girlfriend but he doesn't do that at all.
Why?
Because he doesn’t like being accountable or under the microscope in any way for his indiscretions. It’s humiliating and he’s not used being forced to detail how’s a pos
Colin strickland is total 🗑
Absolutely. He's a creep living with one woman while dating another. And it blew up in his face.
no details whatsoever
1:33 "It just looks like he does not really want to be here." Colin Strickland is the root cause and the reason why Mo Wilson is deceased. A man that wanted to play both sides of the field. He strung Kaitlin Armstrong along because the sex was good, and kept living with her for that reason. A guy that lives with a women, doesn't have any interest in marrying her. He doesn't have to buy the cow, he's getting the milk for free. He doesn't have to marry her, he's getting the sex for free. Never ever compromise your values and move in with a guy. He testified that his relationship with Kaitlin Armstrong was tumultuous because his cheating ways were causing the problem. If Colin Strickland was living with Kaitlin Armstrong while he was pursuing Mo Wilson, the question remains to be answered, "Did Mo Wilson have knowledge that Kaitlin Armstrong was living with Colin Strickland?" Also, if a guy is always looking at his phone, and he's not looking at you, and he's not taking care of your needs, then he's just not that interested in you. Let him go.
Fyi....Kaitlin was living in his house, and she had multiple other relationships with other men during her "numerous break ups" with Strickland. Can't believe you're making excuses for her, and what she did to Mo.
Mo was aware of Kaitlyn and that was disappointing to hear. If we women stuck together and less competitive toward one another, this world would be a better place. I think Kaitlyn was making the $$$ and helping support Colin’s biking. I read about this case a long time ago.
@@jonoharper4729Do you know this factually? I thought they both dated other people during their break. It’s a love triangle so of course it’s a life risking choice. Historically speaking.
Absolutely. I can imagine how devastated she must have felt by his disrespect and gas lighting but why she did what she did is beyond me. @@1preciousflower
@@jonoharper4729 Not making excuses for Kaitlin Armstrong, Colin Strickland or Mo Wilson. The prosecution hasn't proven that Kaitlyn Armstrong killed Mo Wilson and the defense has not proven that Kaitlin Armstrong did not kill Mo Wilson. We have seen a Jeep allegedly owned by Kaitlin Armstrong on surveillance camera. Was it Kaitlin Armstrong driving the Jeep in the surveillance footage? The prosecution has not proven to any of us that it was Kaitlin Armstrong's Jeep or that she was driving the Jeep. According to Assistant Prosecutor Rickey Jones, Mo Wilson was shot 3 times at a friends residence in Austin, Texas. Mo Wilson was shot in the forehead, the side of the head and then he claimed that a third shot was put into her chest by someone standing over her. Was Mo Wilson shot inside the residence, or outside the residence? If Kaitlin Armstrong killed Mo Wilson, wouldn't Mo Wilson's blood be inside her Jeep? There's alot of circumstantial evidence in this case which points directly at Kaitlin Armstrong as Mo Wilson's killer, but does the circumstantial evidence prove that Mo Wilson was killed by Kaitlin Armstrong? Princess Diana said it best, "Well, there was three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded." Granted, Colin Strickland and Kaitlin Armstrong weren't married, but they were living together. "Two's company, three's a crowd." Mo Wilson's family will file a civil suit against Colin Strickland for buying and providing the gun to Kaitlin Armstrong that killed their daughter, Mo Wilson. If in fact it can be proven that the gun he bought for Kaitlin Armstrong, actually killed Mo Wilson.
What’d he say, christ r u for real?
I am sure that the mask, hat, etc is so no one will recognize him
He's been taking a beating on social media and within the cycling community, since this happened.
Assuming she didn't know of his relationship, the only innocent person in this died. Pitiful.
Anyone feel it’s disrespectful to keep using the pic of mo with her tongue out.
I hate that photo . I don't like looking at anyone's tongue
No.... that is considered cute. Sometimes it is helpful when you're sucking wind.
what kind of photos are those? . ohh Mo 😖
"Fact-driven" I saw very few facts in this report, mostly emotional trigger words.
This maldito incident makes me very angry.
Ahhh. It hurts him. Poor thing, his ego and more brought much of this about.
Poor Colin..hurts him deep inside. Ha. Meanwhile he perpetrated it all🙄. Right.
I Don’t care what he did -he didn’t kill Mo - One person is guilty of murder and it sure looks like that person is Katlynn Armstrong--( no one is guilty of adultery because they weren’t married--nor would adultery give anyone the right to murder someone--as premeditated as this sounds I’m shocked they’re not seeking the DP
Their marital status has nothing to do with it. Cheating is cheating and can have terrible consequences whether someone has a rock on their finger or not. They want to determine a person with motive
@@juliesquirrel we have no idea what parameters they had on their relationship-I know more then one couple living together who have open relationships-they date other people -these two had broken up and got back together, she moved back in -they weren’t even engaged- we don’t know
Don't drop the soap😂
Hes one of those where masks forever dudes
🫥
I hope she rots in jail
I looked up a few of Colin's old interviews on CZcams and it's clear that he is---or was---a sweetheart. As a woman I found him modest, funny, playful and lovable. I notice no one seems to want to take the time to look up his life before the events surrounding this tragedy. Let's remember that, contrary to Kaitlin's lawyers' pathetic attempts to cast aspersions on Colin in order to distract the public, Colin is a victim too, as Mo's good friend Cash clearly stated in her victim impact statement. He lost a valued friend, his girlfriend, his career & status and all his sponsors, which was a major financial blow. And all of it virtually overnight . His life will never be the same. How much suffering is enough to satisfy us? Be enough to finally stop implicating him? I thought we're not supposed to blame the victim? Or is that reserved just for people we like? I'd be angry, frustrated and resentful too if I were him. I pray he has good support and a lot of love in his life now. And eventually, peace.
Yes, Colin is an old friend of mine and he’s always been an incredibly nice and generous person. This whole thing is a horrible tragedy
@@gbag37 I'm sure you've felt the weight of the tragedy in all this. If you speak to him, tell him there are a lot of people rooting for him and wish him well. And that most people recognize he was in no way responsible for Kaitlin's actions. People know that he had no way of knowing how unstable, dangerous and out of control she was. Her own sister didn't recognize the signs. Or her friends. Caitlyn Cash might be a good source of friendship and support. They both cared for Mo, and it might be healing to share some of their grief.
Horrible case of guilty by association. The comments about him are so over the top and emotional.
It was a hard lesson for him. I hope he has more remorse than self-pity.
"It's clear he was a sweetheart?" Excuse me? A sweetheart doesn't cheat on his girlfriend with another woman.
The only real question for guys is this: what'd he see in this Kaitlyn broad bc face it, she's not winning awards in the Looks Dept, is she?
Pre surgery she waa prettier than Mo
She has a perfect model's body. 5'8" 25#. Some guys are very attracted to athletic women and she has incredibly thick red hair. Big hips and breasts ARE gross.
