- The 39-year-old Wisconsin woman accused of poisoning her wealthy friend with eye drops faces trial for murder. Jessy Kurczewski allegedly dumped six bottles of Visine into Lynn Hernan’s water bottle and tried to stage her death as an overdose in 2018. Prosecutors also claim Kurczewski defrauded Hernan of nearly $300,000 before killing her. Judge Jennifer Dorow, who oversaw Darrell Brooks’ Waukesha parade massacre trial, is overseeing Kurczewski’s case.

Thanks for the break down of this!!!
🐾 thankyou 😻
You're a wonderful human being!!! Thank you for helping me get to the good stuff!❤
If I hear the word “grounds” one single time, I’m flipping tables
LMAO!!!! D. Brooks 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Lol only DB groupies would get a laugh out of that. 😂
objection hearsay
it's so refreshing to see Judge Dorow interact with actual lawyers. we thought she was good in WI v Brooks, but she's better here 🔥
What do you mean actual lawyers? The prosecutors in the Brooks trial are actual lawyers lol.
I think she seems a little bit sassy in this trial.
Kinda frustrated at times
@@_introvertlife3692in an interview, she stated she has no patience 😇
🤡
@@CrazyMaryJobrooks took the last of her patience from her
the time stamps are VERY much appreciated!! :D
This judge is a role model for our nation. Female, smart, respectful, lawful, fair, and beautiful! What an inspiration for all. I’m glad her trials are recorded and documented. ❤
I agree with you i really like an respect this judges ability to remain fair and balanced.
Judge Dorow has more patiences than any judge I've ever seen, along with all the other traits you mentioned. Judge Dorow deserves an award for how strategically, respectfully, fairly and amazingly, Promptly, and that was a real task when it came to the Darrell Brooks case!!! She's awesome
She’s my favorite Judge
She also did the case of Darrell brooks
What does her vagina have to do with her being a role model?
Judge Durow is a favorite in the true crime world.
She’s an ICON 🔥
Good sound thank you for taking the time to video record this. Hope we get to see pictures.😢
I had to change my picture in a picture settings in CZcams to see the video. Try that!
I just love judge dorrow! She's the best!
This case is not for Jessy this is for justice for ms lynn may she rest in peace may her family ,true friends remember her with love not this ugliness& pain
This judge 👏👏 patience like no other living human. Love her ❤
Judge deserves lifetime achievement award!!
Great sound quality.
Anyone else irritated by defense counsel(s) and especially Donna and how smug sneers and thinking she is smarter than the doctors on the stand???
I can’t even listen to her smug voice or see the annoying smirk on her face without getting triggered. And I rarely ever get triggered by anything.
Opening statement the starts with “well we only need to poke ONE hole and we are clear” sounds to me like she is guilty and they know it.
We all lie about our weight on our ID. One more serious diet and I might be within 50 lbs of what my ID says😂
Exactly 😂
Amen! Mine reflects what I'd like to think I weigh...maybe if the officer were to squint lol
Agreed. I just turned 60 and the photo & weight on my driver’s license are from when I was 46. What I would do to look like that person now!
They said during opening statements that the weight gain was a result of the meds she was taking.
Are we gonna discuss subject matter jurisdiction for the record ? 😂😂😂😂😂
No. I've already gave a written judgement. Nor are we going to discuss if this is civil or criminal... admiralty or common law.
To the other courtroom with you 😂😂🎉
Haha 😂
@@crunchyyellowlion but is it ON THE RECORD ? 😂 I
Wait, so this isn’t admiralty law? 😂
ARE WE ON A BOAT OR NOT???
Palliative care is symptom management for anyone who has a life limiting illness. Palliative care also helps with ACP/GOC. it isn't always a bridge to hospice
Yeah I thought this as well- completely different to EOL care
Great explanation. Thank you. I thought it was strictly for end of life.
I just heard about this case, and once my husband and i saw judge dorrow was on it, we knew we were watching this whole thing.
I wonder if anyone is gonna lightly troll the court by asking for the "grounds!?" 😅😂
C'mon someone! For old-time sake!
Objection! Hearsay!
Subject Matter Jurisdiction! 😮
@@tkledin overruled!
Very funny ,good one
There was an over abundance of Brooks-isms in the live chat day 1.
Wow ! This video is so organized. Thank You!
I love this judge, but she should have removed that juror.
It's crazy that she didn't. “I would hope so” sounded so unsure to me.
Agreed. Imo, he was politely saying, "No, I can't. Get me tf out of here"
Same and I have to agree
She should not be permitted to laugh. She robbed Lynn of future joy and happiness. She will be served justice!!!
The defense is somewhat not convincing
this defense attorney isnt starting out too good
Nice opening from the prosecution!
This defendant looks like Schabusiness AND the frying pan daughter. Criminal Profilers love this
I thought the same thing! Weird
Lol you're onto something...hybrid Schabusiness/Powell....not good
This female defense attorney is driving me nuts! 🤦♀️
I’m with you on that
Why? She seems to be nice and competent.
Annoying!!
She is too IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN, vibes
She’s mental like her client. She’s also old AF and need to retire.
I’m gonna love this Judge!!!!
She’s really amazing!!!!! You should have saw her in the case against that crazy guy that drove through the crowd of people during a parade .. I don’t want to say his name because he doesn’t deserve that attention! But she handled it so well and so respectful… even though he gave her such a hard time
He doesn’t accept that name anyhow. He’s a sovereign citizen 😂😂
@@leenachandi4840😂😂😂
The struggle with technology for the lawyer is beyond.
True.
Very disappointing
Never seen a lawyer have to be explained to., by a judge, how to hold control to highlight the exhibits she wanted to reference. And she still couldn’t manage it 😂
@@ruthisaurus8004 The Judge should have a computer guy or gal in the courtroom to handle that stuff and feed it to her as she needs it.
I thought the defenses opening statement was lame, choppy & not very compelling at all.
I think she should have excused jury 28 just to be safe
Not only because of his connection to a witness, but because enough information to identify the juror was revealed.
Audio should have been turned off during his examination.
Maybe she will towards the end of trial. 🤷🏼♀️
@phoenixshade3 the fact that they aren't calling the person related to his boss as a witness is why she let him on...he won't have to judge or weigh his credibility since he won't testify. If that changes she'll boot him 😅
Hey defense, maybe give the 70-year-old lawyer a quick PDF tutorial before she wastes this much time.
That whole defense team is annoying - I’d be completely turned off by them if I was a juror 😩
I disagree about the "whole team". The woman is very good, this young lawyer obviously has an affinity for numbers. That is why he is up for questioning the bank manager.
I agree but they don’t have much to work with.
@@gailtrotman5256I may have missed it but which defense lawyer is young?
@@Mary200-61TY
“We’ll find out”, that dude’s style isn’t as slick or interesting as he thinks it is
“Grounds!” Reason for the “substain” 😂
You’re a public servant your honor, you have to honor your oaf of office 😂😂
Omg, did defense just try to correct the medical investigator on how to pronounce "rigor"?!?!?! Thats pathetic!
Oh my gosh! I love this Judge!
Judge Dorrow same judge from brooks trial.
She was awful Brooks trial.
She was AWESOME in Brooks trial!!
@@Melissa-zt6ru yes! Loved her. She did put up with too much tho. Had a lot more patience than I do lol
She wonderful. I like when she is frustrated she breathes in through her nose like, whatda want now you old defense attorney kook! 😂😂😂
I'm only now watching this trial so I don't know what will happen but at first glance, I don't see how the defense's opening could make this any better. He basically just explained exactly _how_ the defendant could be able to pull this off. We all know that most murders are committed by family or friends so how does her being so close to the victim help her cause?
Is the defense attorney who did the opening drunk?
😂 He was all over the place
@@heatherann1560 and slurring.
😂😂😂😂😂
I took a nap 😂
😂😂
Woah! Thats the lady from brooks trial in the gallery! Hi ❤
I love this judge!!
I totally got Gilda Radner vibes from defense.....then moments later passive aggressive!😂
Defense opener looks like Richard Lewis lol
Defence dude has the exact same voice as the 🐍 in THE JUNGLE BOOK 🎬 (1967)
Why the heck is the defense atty repeating all this stuff?
Juror #28 wants to be off the jury.
💯 percent what I thought too when I heard it haha
I'm not able to watch the whole trial. About what time do they talk to the juror?
I love this judge!!!
This defense attorney is beyond annoying 😢
Yes, there are cases of people who died from Visine poisoning.
Defense geez asking the most redundant questions for no reason and boring. The way attorneys speak and present their case matters shouldn’t but it def does imo.
i love judge darrow..she is an awesome firm judge
Judge Jennifer Dorow looks beautiful ❤seems very professional
Much respect ❤ for Judge Darrow in live chat today. Exception, one of our regular chat group repeatedly spewed venom, without foundation 🙄
Or jurisdiction? 🤣 sorry couldn't help it!
objection hearsay
GROUNDS! I can't help it either! 🤣
Objection, foundation?
jurisdiction @@itsme2365
The judge should not have let that juror on the jury
She seems different from the Brooks trial.
@@sunnyann7 I agree. She comes across as quite irritated. She seems to have had a lot more patience for a defendant representing himself in the murder of 6 and injuries of 67 others. IMO
It was "professional" patience and it was absolutely essential. Here she does not need that, because the parties are professional too. @@kimgale262
@@sunnyann7 She has no patience for attorneys because they KNOW the law. She had to have abundant patience with Brooks because he did not know the law so there was a high probability of a mistrial.
@@kimgale262she needed to make certain the families would never have to go through this again, and the state of Wisconsin would never have to pay more money for DB. She is a very wise judge.
I just started watching this trial & I have to say she got herself a good defense team. But I like how the medical examiners assistant (I believe that’s who she was) handled herself. She did a great job! This trial has been interesting so far because it seems the state doesn’t have as much experience as the defense
@potheadzndrama215 Hey love omg i been missing notifications miss your videos its redbull coffee and crime we changed our name..are you still on fb ??i had to make a new one again😅 i didnt know you were in to watching trials..much love and respect❤❤❤❤
@@Morbid.Injustice I’m still over there lol. Hope you’ve been well! And yes..I love true crime. I posted a lot about the baby Quinton case on my page but I’ve been into true crime since before the Casey Anthony trial lol. I kinda wanted to make a channel just for true crime but it’s so hard keeping up with my page as it is idk if I’d have the time for it.
@@TinaO-pn7jx imo they have been doing a good job so far. I’ve also seen a ton of comments saying the same thing. They see reasonable doubt.
I still have a ways to catch up, I’m only on day 2, I admit that but, so far her attorneys have put in more work than most defense attorneys I’ve seen. Most go with the state has to prove guilt. Her defense seems like they’ve done just as much to try to prove her not guilty.. I’m not saying she is or isn’t. I don’t know this case well enough to have an opinion on that. But yes, I think she has a good defense team who actually work for their client.
Omg yessss inseen you post about quinton..you should definitely have a ttue crime channel i know its hard you would def be good at it though
I just started watching today.
So many murders happen in this state, what the heck is going on there.
Honestly I don't believe it is more.....they just are more open to televising. I live in PA and we have soooo much crime but we hide it lol and don't televise anything from a court room....pretty sus...
It’s just certain states that are televised. Not sure where this is but I once was asking what is up with folkes in Tallahasse😂.
Wisconsin and Florida have very open laws about crimes and courts being available to the public…. That’s why we see and hear so much both these states.
Thus the “Florida man” was born.
The defense opening statement was sooooo bad
HORRIBLE!
Defense opening is very weak! He kept pointing out ALL the pills in her system. Maybe YOUR client was the one that gave her all the pills along with the visine.
In opening, the defense keep stressing how there were 30 pills in her system when she was only prescribed 5-6...It depends on how many doses you are prescribed to take, not the number of prescription meds...
I understood that as a total number of pils of that medication
I know Judge Dorow is thanking her lucky stars that she has a defendant with representation!
Defendant wasn’t a good caretaker according to the victim’s surroundings. Already it’s come out that all she did was take care of her. Grifter. Enough said.
If you never had to change a diaper on a bedridden adult. You should keep your opinions to yourself.
@@usaroxx8085... And she paid herself very well for changing Lynn's diaper, but that's not all she did. She made sure Lynn had plenty of water to drink on a regular basis....
@@miogi0072 oh no. Guilty. Made sure she was NOT de-hydrated. Yep. Totally guilty. ARE YOU INSANE?
WOW…five years ago!
Omg so hard to watch after watching Prosecuter Opper with the Darrell Brooks case. Meaning the defense attorney not the prosecutors
Her lawyers should be retired, they are ridiculous.
Put the defendant under the prison
“We’ll see.”
Wiping those invisible tears.
Some problematic things happening in this trial so far. Juror 28 should have been released and that exhibit with 30 different photos the defense offered to show one picture was fishy af.
Agreed on juror 28
Think they will use the photos later?
@@maemae5248 They used them the next morning. When the detective was on the stand they were allowed to ask him questions about photos he didn't take or hadn't seen before without laying proper foundation and because it was cross examination the defense made strange misrepresentations about those photos. All because the prosecution didn't object to improper foundation when they offered the photo package into evidence. I think that particular prosecutor doesn't have as much experience as the other two. If you watch day 2, the defense also introduced photos of documents from that package and misrepresented their relevance, they were expired documents from the 80s and 90s. But because they were already admitted into evidence, the judge overruled objections. The prosecution cleared everything up during redirect but all of that could have been avoided if they objected properly in the first place but this current defense team is really something, you have to stay alert.
What time stamp was the juror issue?
@@DamnitDana juror issue waaaaaay at the beginning of video, b4 bringing in the jury
Was this a Public Defender? Or he just really has nothing to work with, just my opinion.
Public defenders
Would the water with the visine in it not have a weird taste when drinking it?
I believe it's without any significant flavor
If defense atty was paying attention, she would have known how to pronounce the witness’ name Kukes.
And then she questioned her on how she pronounced Rigor, that defense atty seems to be all over the place!
Yeah she seems aggressive; rude.
I see Miss Gussey in the gallery. I wonder why she’s there? She did a great job in the Brooks trial.
Who is she? I see a woman in glasses that looks familiar....
She works for the DA, The DA office is all the same people...this case just has different DA's on this case...Kristy Gusse is multifaceted at the DA's office...She's a diversion Coordinator and a Paralegal...
She used to clean her when she had mistakes 😅 accidents is a more appropriate wording 😅 this guy cracks me up 😅
Makes it even worse that she killed n stole from someone that was so good to her. Her tears are hopefully of guilt.
The female defense attorney must be getting paid by number of words she uses because wtf? 🥴
She sounds perfectly normal to me.
She is laughing doe's she realise she is in court for murder a woman is dead so disrespectful
I think darrell brooks would make a better defense attorney than the one who did the opening statement 😂😂😂
Hmmm…..
The woman defense attorney is annoying 😅
The defence attorney guy is hilarious 😅 he reminds me of the public defender in the movie MY COUSIN VINNY 😅 without the stutter, of course 😅
I thought the same! I also felt desperation, as if he had a gambling problem.
She needs to dismiss him. Otherwise, just approve the appeal now.
She kept jurors that have IBS, bad eyesight, problems hearing, people that fall asleep, have no transportation, have financial hardships and just plain tried to get out of jury duty!
If they don't even call the person who is related to his boss then there is literally no actual connection he is going to see to bias him. No one intends on calling the family member of the boss so I don't really see how it would bias him....if he isn't a witness than they won't judge his credibility. Definitely not a guaranteed appeal.
2 things1. yaaay new trial
2. Sorry i was MIA new medication for procedures and i literally was passed out from 12pm til 5pm ish 🤣
Join the club. Why I am watching tonight 🎉
Whenever anyone goes in the hospital they are not allowed to use outside medicine or have anyone bring outside medicine they are supposed to use the medicine that the hospital has if they need any outside medicine the hospital will order it and administer it to them in a in a control environment way
All of the computer issues seems to happen in just about every case!!!! Why don’t they have someone on scene?
The suspect needs to fire her attorneys and hire someone capable.
No! It’s great she has ineffective counsel! She needs to rot in prison!
Not buying defense at all!
Should have done a few questions re-cross. Make it clear that in her report all the info regarding victim was not fact based but given by the defendant.
I think you mean redirect. And was not necessary.
@@CuddleSnugglesworth I did, thank you. I couldn’t think of the word. I obviously think it would have been helpful that’s why I mentioned, even using wrong term. You don’t. Just different opinion.
Rigor mortis is more dependent on gender, age, weight, cause/manner of death, in addition to ambient temperature and humidity. Specific organs begin to decompose at very predictable rates. Signs of lividity, blood settling to dependent parts of body.
What a weird defense attny I dislike her and defendant.
1 thing Jess your attorney is confusing the jurors im saying this because he's focused on blaming the supposed victim Lynn instead of pointing out the facts and letting the jurors make their own decisions it's already been especially that Lynn loved and trusted you someone needs to remind him that this is a murder trial jeez im so not impressed with the defense attorney he's making my head spin. Stop blaming the deceased regardless of whatever Lynn did or didn't do your supposed to be defending your client. Oh my goodness gracious 😢😢😢
My thoughts too. Was pretty disgusting
Who knew eyedrops could be so lethal..😮
I've known it for years. It's very dangerous ingested
This situation is a glaring illustration of how the healthcare system in our country often leans towards prescribing medication as a quick fix rather than exploring holistic approaches for specific conditions. It's quite concerning. We can't be certain if all those medications were necessary and whether they may have been harmful. Instead of confining her to her home all day, the so-called "Care Takers" could have engaged her in various activities like swimming or other therapeutic options to help restore her physical and mental well-being to the best of her abilities. Unfortunately, it seems like she was left neglected in that chair, which is truly distressing.
Hello handsome. Kisses to Miss Winnie 🐶❤😎 hello Frank.
This is great Scott...another trial for us. Thank you.😅
Did JK give a reason for adding the visine to Lynn's water?
I’m wondering who purposely drinks visible?
I don’t get it…. Why?!
Defendant looks so shifty.
Trying to pull on the juries sympathy strings is a major fail. hope the defence has more to offer cause this guy is losing her case before it even starts
Judge dorrow seems a little bit sassy this time?
I’d term it arrogant. Not a huge fan of Judge Dorrow.
Shes probably tired of all the ineptitude in the state of WI. So far, every trial she has ruled over has presented her with some wierd parties.
Where's the dream team of Sue Opper, Leslie Basey, and Zach Wittchow? they would have wiped the floor with these defense clowns.
all through the brooks trial when dorrow was addressing new witnesses I envision myself in their place - first last name and spell each... Jane Doe, EACH
Just like when the clerk instructs the to say their name and then spell it..okay “I. T. “
😂
Me too!!! 😂😂😂
I wonder if they would laugh and get the joke or be ticked off.
Subject matter jurisdiction lol 😉
Wow, the woman defense is grasping
was she her medical and financial power of Attorney do we know?
