The evidence in this case is overwhelming. I predict the jury will be out for less than an hour and will then return with a guilty verdict. She is a literal sociopath and has absolutely no remorse.
Colin Strickland seems like a real gem.
Oh, but the miasma of this murder will haunt him forever and ever.
Pure trash.
Jealous girlfriend & player boyfriend. Poor Mo was the match.
So sad that she lost her life over an ego maniac and his unstable chic!
I’m so sick of hearing the defence lawyer saying “ there are absolutely no witnesses to this murder”. What the heck?? Who murders someone in front of another person who can identify them?? Murder by nature is done covertly for the obvious reason.
Agreed. If that’s all they have for her defense, I would expect a guilty verdict. We’ll see.
Relax all this is going through the motions. She will be found guilty. It's a dog and pony show.
People are killed in front of others all the time, shooting down 1/2 of your statement. When there aren't any witnesses, law enforcement will use other evidence.
Loser boy. Mo’s family needs to sue him in civil court because he knew his girlfriend was unstable and dangerously jealous.
Thank you and also bought her a gun.
what are they going to get out of suing him? Money? They can't get Mo back. That is for sure. Colin is a broken man. He's lost everything. He is now a car mechanic in Lockhart, Texas.
@@warrenstringham415 Is he stopped cycling ? Or is he still go on trainings, or for recreational bike rides?
@@francikaa1 Professionally, yes. 100%. Recreationally, I dunno.
@@warrenstringham415 This is sad. I guessing the sponsors dropped him forever. By the time this fades away in the news, he will be 40+ y old, and little chance to be on the podium. He could have tried to move to Europe, and maybe there he won't have bad press, but I think he don't wanna leave the US.
Strickland is a bag
It's always these douches who end up manipulating women into ruining their lives.
Kaitlin is guilty! Colin’s is a narcissist game player! Messed with Kaitlin and Mo’s heads and emotions….. he assaulted the cameramen because he was being called out on his behavior!
To bad Colin can’t be prosecuted for his part!
Yeh, in today's world, there's just so much pressure on women to have no reaction to being messed about. Colin literally dated Mo under Kaitlyn's nose after they were back together and told her ''be an adult''. eg, have no reaction to my hurting you. Even Mo's tentative text asking for clarity. It made me sad. She's confused and was brave enough to ask ''are we platonic or what is this/'' and he couldn't remember his answer????? Poor Mo. But also, feel like Kaitlyn had a sliding doors moment and went mad when she could have stayed sane in another set of circumstances.
@@SusanaXpeace2u Yes, I remember the confused text Mo sent him at one point, not knowing "where things stand"? Go over that text (and Colin non-answer answer) to see the guy m.o. (not "Mo"): to any of his female partners there's always an on-off sideshow somewhere in the background. To put it simply, Colin loves hubris, and didn't mind adding a couple of real guns into the mix. (If nothing else watch his behavior in/out of the courthouse. ) He and the defendant started out as a toxic couple, with the addition of fire arms they become a lethal duo. Thus don't expect any thing from him as a witness on the stand.
She was dating other men while living in his house.
Typical woman response: Find a way - ANY way - to blame a woman's violent crimes on a man. His body, his choice, Suzy..... he can date whoever he wants. He didn't have a "part" in the murder of an innocent woman. That makes you seethe, doesn't it? She's going to get a lot of broomstickin' in prison.... probably beginning on her first night.
@@SusanaXpeace2u Cry me a river. Married women with children get cheated on all the time. Some forgive their spouses and reconcile, others file for divorce. But the vast majority don't kill the other woman in cold blood. The fact she was able to do that so easily shows she's evil.
Her vehicle is on tape leaving the scene. No man in this world is worth it.
Colin doesn’t have to act like a jerk. What’s his problem? Grow up Colin
Yupp, slam dunk. Kaitlyn will be incarcerated, fine, but Colin will walk free. All he's lost is sponsorship deals and he feels annoyed about that. He hasn't done anything illegal because being a lying gaslighting player is not illegal. ''be an adult'' he said to Kaitlyn while he literally dated another woman under her nose. He should be awake at night. He said that he learnt to be less transparent. The entitlement!
This case is what's called a slow guilty plea.
Innocent people just don't up and run away as a fugitive. If she had been innocent, she could say what she was doing and where she was at the time of the murder - she would be bolstered by the knowledge that she knew she didn't do it. Innocent people don't run away. Of course the defense is saying in this case, the innocent person in the situation ran away because she thought she would be accused of a crime she didn't commit. This is just so crazy to me.
I'm also amazed at how slick and wily she is about escaping. That trip to another country doesn't seem like something you can just improvise. If I were doing the same thing, I would have had to plan for months to get all the details in place.
She seemed to just fly under the radar with ease like a true professional fugitive. She seemed very savvy about how to disappear and assume a new identity. She had to be scheming and cunning. This crime seems to be something she had been premeditating for a long time, probably since she bought the gun. In fact, I wonder if she just put on a ruse that she felt scared about biking alone as a female so Colin just took her at her word and bought her a gun, not knowing that this was all part of Kaitlin's original plan that she had hatched before she even bought the gun.
I'm anxious to see Kaitlin found guilty and for her to face her punishment. I will get a lot of satisfaction that she will have to pay for her crime and suffer the punishment the rest of her life. I'm hoping that's the outcome.
Unfortunately, for the family - having justice served is a small reward, because they'll never have their loved one back, and will grieve the rest of their lives. It's just so senseless. This did not have to happen. To me it's such a tragedy.
Yes, if a neighbour had ambled passed at the right moment then the one holding the gun would have had a moment of lucidity and not pulled the trigger. It's a nonsense point!
Overwhelming evidence. Also, WHAT'S THE ALIBI?! None. No remorse. Entitled. She's done.
She's definitely going down. So far, it seems she's the only one who thinks she will get away with it, smirk telling.
I want to know where OJ was at the time of the murder?!?
Colin simply wanted to string Mo along...First it boosted his ego, being fought over as "apple in my eyes" by two (actually the more the merrier, wasn't that at least 4 on his phone rolodex?) females. Second, this is much more significant, it boosted his public image, as Mo was an up coming star athlete, which translated to more sponsorships etc for Colin. Just think of how much PR value he could (was) milking off his association with Mo. Surprised that no one touched on this.
Granted she was an upcoming star, he already established, so it's easy to see who's wielding power in the relationship. Remember the confused text Mo sent him at one point, not knowing "where things stand"? Go over that text (and Colin non-answer answer) to see the guy m.o. (not "Mo"): to any of his female partners there's always an on-off sideshow somewhere in the background. To put it simply, Colin loves hubris, and didn't mind adding a couple of real guns into the mix. (If nothing else watch his behavior in/out of the courthouse. ) He and the defendant started out as a toxic couple, with the addition of fire arms they become a lethal duo. Thus don't expect any thing from him as a witness on the stand.
apple of the eye and women, not females.
Conscience of guilt, her escapes I have zero doubt she’ll be doing life w/o
He truly did recall!
Colin probably loving that a woman would kill to try and get him.
Colin needs to man up for Mo’s sake. I don’t understand his childish behaviour. Because of his inability to be honest with his girlfriend someone is dead, Kaitlin is responsible of course in my opinion but he’s match and Kaitlin was the fire.
🙄All this over a (one) man?!
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?
Can you believe ???,,,,🤔
Well, she knew he is entangled with someone but still going out.
He doesn't want to be there
Unlimited budget of people
This is not Colin’s fault BUT this shit happens sometimes unfortunately when you go out and cheat
He was a self perceived ladies’ man and thinks quite highly of himself. I’m sure he is tantruming because he sabotaged his cycling career.d
I want to live in a world where prosecution and defense work together for justice! Sad how it’s all about “winning” the case at any expense!
What? So you want someone to get railroaded🧐.
You obviously don't understand the whole point of opposing legal teams in ensuring civil rights and the protection of freedoms.
It would help if prosecutors did not withhold evidence as the do and have done in far too many cases!
@@catherinedooley194 I agree with that. The system certainly is not perfect! Prosecutors should be severely sanctioned for knowingly withholding evidence they know will likely get a defendant off. If they truly believe the defendant is innocent in such a case - that's inexcusable!
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 It already exists, the Brady rule from Brady v. Maryland. Violation can bring about a mistrial or an overturned conviction with prejudice (no new trial and charge dismissal).
They didn’t know which other ma’am
Ohh boohooo. I don’t feel sorry for this man-child at all.
Good no camera.
Am I the only one that thinks the news is doing everything they can to milk tf out of this story. There are many local murders that have had crazier stories and they never gave them as much screentime at all, but this is insanely important?
She sure is pretty, pretty murderous!
