We had a case in Texas with a man who hurt (can't remember if he raped or killed her) a young woman. Her dad gave a victim impact statement, then leaped over the table and pounded the defendant as hard as he could until the deputies pulled him off the guy. As this is Texas, the father faced no changes.
As it should be..
Agree. As it should be!!
My parents traveled to Europe early 80s, while in Hungary, a 5 yers old girl was hit and injured by a drunk driver...the cops there let the family have a minute with him before arresting him.
Wonder if they still allow that and how we could get that here.
I know the case your talk about it was a college gymnastics coach touching many of the girls. The dad of one of the girls did leap over the desk and try ro start hitting the guy but he didn't really get any punches or hits in after the initial tackle. The officers got him off the guy really quickly. But yes he did get 0 charges against him cause the judge understood the assignment. I would also like to add before doing all that he asked the judge to grant him 5 minutes in a locked room alone with that guy (the coach) and the judge said like obviously not. So the guy then said 1 minute, judge said no again. That is what made the guy leap a solid 6-8 feet over a desk (maybe it was just the partition) to tackle the guy. It's a fantastic clip, it was caught on court cam. You may also be talking about another case where basically the exact same thing happened but I forget the details of that case. Again just the tackling no hits in after it really.
@@bobsmith4185 So you are the same animal yourself, but you wait for a moment when it is "socially justified", right?
12:48 father heard things during the trial that he had no idea about. He knew that Larry Nassar had assaulted his daughters but he did not have all of the details until he sat through the trial, w his daughters by his side. It had to have been heartbreaking! And for that monster to just sit there and pretend like he did nothing wrong is just disgusting on a million levels!
I can forgive any violence in this situation....
Father, allegedly, did not believe his daughters when they told him. Allegedly, it's only hearsay. What I do know is that he did take his own life after this.
@@MinatheRaichu wrong guy
@@ConnorHammond ah okok.
The guy who tried to attack Nassar was a local hero here in Michigan (it was local here) for a week or so. If I recall correctly he didn't have charges brought against him and his union (you can which see on his shirt) payed whatever expenses he had from missing work or whatever. I understand why Bruce can't endorse that behavior but Randall Margraves is a legend.
*paid (just FYI)
@@heatherangel9700 he said from michigan our school not so english here
@@MudDuckGames 😂😂
Lol I mean he acted like a clown as far as I'm concerned. Probably acts like that all the time
@@heatherangel9700 grammar nazi alert 😂 guaranteed hypocrite too I bet.. gosh I would love to see a bunch of ur past posts.. 😂
13:43 what hurts a lot about this guy is that it’s all 3 of his daughters that were assaulted by that coach. not putting down any of the other victims’ trauma btw it’s just sad to know every single one of his kids specifically went through that :(
I'm an IBEW member. If he had been held or charged, I was going to send $$ to his local to assist in his defense. Thankfully the judge let him go
@@tymtraveller International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers?
I honestly don't blame the guy. If I was in same position, I don't think I would have made it to court. As a SA survivor, it is my biggest fear that one of my children goes through it. I suspect my anger at my abuser might be triggered.
@@mikedimples yes, IBEW is international brotherhood of electrical workers. this man is an electrician.
There was another father who killed himself because his daughter told him about it when she was younger but he didn’t believe it and actually made her apologize to the creep
The man who said "I'll see you in 10 years" wasn't a witness. That was Alex Zaldivar's father who had every right to be emotional after his 19 year old son was killed execution style by 27 year old Bessman Okafor during a home invasion the purpose of which was to murder witnesses the day before they could testify in a home invasion trial. But I actually think the statement is being misconstrued (even by those involved who took it as a threat). Rafael Zaldivar was incredibly frustrated and vocally critical of the Judge, County and State over essentially a shell game with the death penalty, Nolan Darnell Bernard and Bessman Okafor both had lengthy violent criminal records and they committed premediated murder with the express purpose of eliminating witnesses in their other trial yet because of really a shocking level of sloppiness on the part of the court they kept being able to avoid the death penalty. I believe what Rafael actually meant was "this whole thing is such a mess that it will take at least 10 years for me to see you actually tried for the death penalty." Not "I'll attack you myself in 10 years" especially because there was no chance any of the defendants would even be out of prison in 10 years. I know this is a long comment on a 5 month old video so it might never get read, but I think it's worth clarifying. It's also worth noting that this case was from 2013 and 10 years later Rafael is still fighting on behalf of his son. Rest in Peace Alex Zaldivar
I thought maybe he was referring to seeing him at a parole trial, I know defendants often show up for those to make sure the criminals arent paroled. But your explanation makes more sense.
Thank U so much for explaining ,I was confused by thst also and I didnt know about that case. That poor Father ,Im a Mother of three and my heart breaks for him and anyone that loses a child ,I hope he didnt have to wait that long .
@@SpydersBytethats what I thought at first but it was first degree murder ,so I didnt understand what he neant.
The times ive been most honest w cops have always backfired...thanks for spreading the "no self snitchin" message
Never talk to the cops without a lawyer the police will twist your words.
Same story for me
@@JohnFKennedy420 you seem very knowledged in what other people need to be doing...keep spreading your profound wisdom all over the youtube comments...you're a true hero 👍
@@JohnFKennedy420 I call Bullshit on that
@@andreasmelcher3958 you call bullshit that he was committing crimes? LMAO
JEEZ BRUCE that story at 15:00 Lmfao! You can't be self snitchin like that my man. Love your content 🤣
Gotta give props and respect to the homie dad for taking a charge for his girls, he even asked properly and nicely a few times but he did what he had to do , and i respect him for that.
Yeah but he should've done it when his girl told him before arrest He would've got him good for real and not only words He totally knew he would've get a no from the judge and he totally knew he wouldn't get to the bastard That was just tuff guy words
Maybe it's understandable but it's nothing to be celebrated. The dad getting a charge doesn't help no one.
In fact he fucked over his family as he might go to jail and not be there helping his family grief and heal at the least he now has the additional stress of being prosecuted.
When you have the urge to "do what you gotta do" get some weed (or something) and stay home. If you know that you won't be able to contain yourself it's no use to even show up.
@@cyan_oxy6734 i smoke weed so that is exactly what i would do, but given the circumstances i believe if the father didnt try to do what he did , I believe he couldnt live with himself if he didnt at least try to go after the assaulter. He knew the consequences and he knew the reprecussion i just give massive respect because who else would go that far? sure its not good legal wise in our countrys laws. But I think he would get massive respect from the inmates after hearing what he did, and he proved the deep rooted love of his daughters by attacking the attacker, this is just my opinion and honestly i'm glad some people dont agree with me it would be a boring world if we all agreed upon the same things
@@MsPascalex yes i agree with you on this also, i bet he would have too but he may have found out too late
@@kennel878Xx yes probably found out too late or knew that one punch can kill and didn't want to jeopardize anything and didn't want him to get off so easy lol
7:25 LOL, this might just be me, but it really did sound like Sue Opper emphasized DEFENDANT in that way. Knowing that he'd get all riled up and that she can play it off. I'm all for it, because Darrell's been gaslighting everyone the last 20-30 years. -- What cracks me up is how Darrell says: 'Run the record back' like he's some MC at a rap show directing the DJ.
9 mos later…ran the record back…
💯% STILL sounded *SOUP-HER* emphasized 😆😂😅👍🙌🏻
Nope, not just you
I was looking for a comment, any comment that mentioned, he was right.
He did not wanted to be called bij his name so than defendent. Yes a bit ferry bit enfasised 😂😂 What a jackass is that so many people hurt and 6 killed. And he had only sympathie for himself and his family but mostly himself. Whit the whitnesses statements he was so disrespectful. I somebody hurt my daughters i think i would react the same
YES!! I''m so happy Law and Crime's partnering with you guys!! You both would make an amaaaazing team!!
@ComradeCage I’m sorry but I think I’m going to have nightmares after seeing your profile pic
I always enjoy the analysis, but I really love hearing about the stupid stuff Grandma gets up to that we need legal forms to mitigate.
The prosecutor in the Brooks trial did say “the defendant” in a funky way lol. I remember hearing it and thinking she had some sass in her voice 🤣
As she should have lol they were all so done with him
That shit randomly pops up in my head throughout the day 😂 “dah DEFENDANT!” 😭
Yeh, she said it like it was a nickname her 10 years old son made up for himself and now insisted that his parents address him that way. "Mom, dad, I ain't Timmy anymore, how many tahms do I have to tell you? Call me Dah Defendant!" Mom: 7:25
And he did have a point. There was no reason for the prosecutor to say that the way they did. The prosecutor should have been admonished for that just to show that while his shit wasn't going to be tolerated, the prosecutor couldn't take advantage of that and be disrespectful
Thuhhhh DEE-FENNN-DANNNNT, uh your honor I have to raise my voice so y’all can hear….STOP IT ESQUIRE KAREN….yes brooks is a piece of trash but let’s not pretend that wasn’t intentional
I love it when the they’re quick enough to get a few shots in when it’s deserved.
"You don't have to live through it, lady" - exactly!
Thanks Bruce for giving us knowledge of the law and
Thank you Michael for all the behind the scene work you do 🙏
Oh man, Grandma is making eForms a ton of money!! 😂
I love the reasons you come up with for going to eforms. Race car granny? 😄 Classic
Right! I’m just glad she is out of the house and enjoying her retirement years 😊
@@daCubanaqt she's definitely earned it at that point 😄
OnlyFans for bunions!
I always listen to the twist on the e-Forms promotion. Then I wonder if you’ve ever seen some of the crazy situations you describe. Thanks for keeping it real…and keeping it fun.
For the first one... I've been that attorney so many times. It's so annoying trying to get an ahole client to shut up! I don't get to select my clients either.
If Rivers want to do another 30 wildest outbursts, he can get them all from the Brooks trial.
Love to hear your interpretation and reaction to the Delphi situation where the accused’s attorney is saying the probable cause affidavit is slim to nothing and you’ve got the wrong guy, it’s not Richard Allen. I love your take on that whole case and then the legal crap around it. Like the judge recusing himself for no reason. 🤷♀️
The eForms hypotheticals are always a riot!
I LOVE how you are a criminal defended lawyer and you call out the bullshite these scum bags do. Thank you!
Would love to see a video with you and one of your cases! 😊
YES!
I like when you share some of the things you experienced one on one with the people you represented. Idk how long you’ve been practicing but I’m sure you have a ton of interesting stories
And I love how candid he is too. He tells stories about a part of the legal system that many of us will never experience and that we only know about thanks to like TV and movies. I can't imagine Law and Order doing an episode where the defendant is like "hey if it's guilty I'm gonna try and attack the prosecutor" and his lawyer is like "well I wouldn't recommend it, but he was a total prick and you'll only be able to get a couple hits in before you get pulled away anyway, so whatever. Good luck I guess"
Most down to earth and relatable lawyer on CZcams
I like your observations and explanations. Please do more. Thank you.
I disagree with your opinion on Alex Jones because he is not a bad person. As far as no evidence, your wrong on that . David Hogg was definitely a crisis actor. He was at Parkland and the California school shooting. He was obviously paid by someone....who? Let's just say their are many conspiracies that are true
@@cindysue5079 I was referring to his lawyer.
Please do your mom thank you
Bruce I’m mesmerized by your videos. You are so entertaining and informative. I’m old enough to have watched Perry Mason not the reruns but the original programs. You just need a Della Street.
Bruce, I'm surprised you were okay with the possibility of your client getting "one or two" hits in against prosecutor you didn't like!
I mean he did mention he was being a prick, even if your clint is guilty, if the prosecutor is being a straight up asshole you can't really blame the guy for wanting to beat his ass before he gets locked up for years 😂
i mean it's real life not twitter, sense of moral can be bent a bit further :)
Bruce doing some self snitching there.
Reminds me of Jimmy McGill before he became Saul
What are you, his mother?
I love ur reaction to this stuff with a sprinkle of your own personal experiences in your profession! It's been so fun to watch this channel grow... keep em comin guys! 😉😇🤌💜
Thank you for more great content! Love your insights with a proper amount of sass 😊
I started watching CZcams legal content due to the Darrell Brooks trial. Bruce Rivers is my favorite! I am glad I found CLR!
Michael Rivers.. Great call suggesting this one. Love it. Thank you.
I just found this channel and his intro has no business going that hard 💀
There seems to be a new fad in courtrooms where disrespect was left in the hallways. It’s unreal how these defendants and lawyers act. Perhaps anger management should now be a requirement to pass in high schools and colleges.
I guess it just shows that people don't respect the court system like they used to. Or at least for me that is probably one reason. I know I don't respect the justice system like I used to, either the cops or courts, ever since I started learning more about how everything works.
The popularity of courtroom dramas and their really intense court scenes play a role in this
I think you mean respect was left in the hallway
Attorney Rivers, I love your channel. I love watching your reactions to all the different court room buffoonery. If you happen to read these comments & taking video ideas from your fans, then if I may:
- The law is overwhelmingly complicated & overwhelmingly intrigued we are by it, thus a reason we watch you. I think it would be fascinating to hear some of your best stories, be it from your time at law school to some of your most memorable cases. There's no doubt you are a great & successful lawyer & we would like to know more about you, Bruce Rivers the professional. You could make a video 4 hours long talking about just anything & believe me, we will watch every second of it.
*What case made you feel like you were on top of the world?*
*What case made you feel like the scummiest dirtbag in all of ever? Why?*
*What case tugged on your heart the most?*
*What case taught you something about yourself you were surprised to find out?*
*What are the wildest things that you've seen happen in court?*
*What is your most memorable dilemma that challenged you & decision making abilities? Did you make the right call?*
I LOVE YOUR COMMENT!!! I SECOND THAT! BRUCE....You opened yourself up and asked what your subscribers want...so, now, you've got work to do!
@@LauraVee63 Thank you. We can’t wait sir Bruce!
Adding my support to Jared's comment. "Tales from the Rivers Desk" - I reckon your subscribers would watch the hell out of that!
As someone one day hoping to become a criminal defense attorney, I’d absolutely value and be honestly thankful for a video about a case that made him feel like a “dirt bag.”
I'd definitively watch this CLR Bruce Rivers
I think they declined to press charges against the dad in the Nassar case.
Love your suit!
Michael Rivers you’ve got great ideas! Keep getting your dad on camera!
‘He might get one or two in’…😂😂😂😂😂
I enjoy your commentary ao much. It's so level, matter of fact, and genuinely heart felt. You must be a fantastic lawyer in the courtroom.
I love all your content Bruce. I really appreciate it bc I come from a rough background w no dad, older white lady at their time, so it’s nice to get good information.
Bruce, your little personal gems make my day! Love you
The pistol cuff-links are ICONIC 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Mike and Bruce! I LOVE these videos!!❤❤❤❤
Love these types of Video reactions!!
So interesting to see/hear and also hear your interpretation of it all!!
Thanks again To My Favorite Channel!!
Much Love,
Michele - PA
Love these compilations! Ty
Truth be told, I don't think anyone in that room blamed that dad for wanting to take his daughter's abuser out.
Do others feel the same way about Bruce's intro song being a total earcatcher after watching the episode? :D
Yes. I was 😂 at it lol
Bruce, love your videos and really look forward to hearing your comments and reactions.....Since you asked, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the Idaho student murders; specifically if you've ever had a client that engaged in this type of crime. Would be interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks for all you do. Would love to buy some of your merch, but times are hard these days; plan on getting one of your t-shirts in the near future!
Love your commentary!!! I would love to see your video without as many cuts that are so easy to see.
I think you have so many on point things to say! I just wish I wasn’t as distracted with as many cuts as I could catch.
I remember that gym coach one, as a father myself I wouldn't think twice about going to jail to avenge my baby.
That’s just putting the daughter through more pain though. If you’re in jail you can’t be there for her. It’s understandable but ultimately putting the dad’s feelings above his daughter’s.
Great Tailor , too... Love your sartorial choices !
Really was hoping you’d react to more of this trial. Was absolutely wild.. jumped the gun thought it was more Brooks react 😂
Love your content Bruce! ❤
Always enjoy your insights
Love your insight. Great video
I ADORE this content. Really hope you do more of it.
I enjoy your critique and sense of humor! May i say, your fashion sense is refreshing! Its classic but modern and all very unique 😊. Thank you for keeping it real and entertaining. 😸
I very much enjoy your insights into criminal, lawyer, judiciary and police behavior. Please continue making these videos.
The last one, the father, he made a mistake when he asked ahead of time to get in a room with him. That put everyone on alert. He should have just said "thank you judge", and immediately gouged out that perverts eyes. 🚫🍭💩
Love the content!!! Keep it coming
The final story about the large client threatening to jump the prosecutor was extremely funny & well told, but I guarantee you he did not have the faces of his 3 children tattooed on his forearm: this was a bit of strategic misinfo by BR, casually strewn in there to throw off any champion truffle-pigs who may wish to follow a trail. Nice work!
That line “ mean mugging” the judge! 😂 love your commentary.
I got out of jury duty, armed home invasion, assault, high profile ... sat next to people who wanted to be chosen! Eyed me with envy when my number was called. I told them I agreed with a local politician, I knew the defense hated and that was it. We weren't allowed anything except a pen and little yellow legal pad they gave us, and one drink, 15 min break. Not one person returned the pen as we were told to.
Michael Rivers is a genius for "thinking 💬🤔 this was a good idea. Bruce is great too. Chicago Illinois rocks with this 😎 content.
❤ love your channel, knowledge, fun personality and smart attire
I have been binge watching your channel since i found it a few days ago. I love CLR Bruce Rivers.
Love your channel love your content. Well done !!!!! Love it!!!
Nice format. :) I'd enjoy longer clips, even if this results in a 30 min vides. Love your content! :)
I just love listen to you. Such a great personality.
I love when you react to these! Thank you!!!
I would love to see you react to the judge in the Larry Nassar case during the victim impact statement… When she read Larry’s letter that he had sent to her complaining about “having to listen to all that!”
That was a great episode, Bruce
I learn a lot with each of these fun filled episodes!
The law is fascinated
Binge watching you right now. I'm loving your personality 😎 I would like you to look at the case that's going to come up. Looking through the supposed evidence of the bridge guy. Might stop a lot of speculation. sorry can't think of the name of the case. But im guessing it's high profile. Thanks Bruse 🤞
Bruce Willis is the criminal lawyer! Bruce Willis is the criminal lawyer!😂😂😂
I truly enjoy your commentary!!!!! Because it's so true!!!!!
I am excited for this one
I love your content Bruce ❤
I am addicted to this channel 🤣
“Lucky for that prosecutor, we got an acquittal” lol flexing that law power
Respect to you for not telling on him.
Sometimes even if you’re the bad guy, you deserve to get a punch or two in on someone treating you worse than you’ve ever treated another.
Great content. Love your channel. Thank you. Great cases.
More awesome content from Bruce and Michael!
I sing along with the intro every time. Great intro 🙂
Crazy. wow the one with the guy lashing out. But yeah agree suck but sometimes all these families go through theirs that one that can't suppress the anger and pain. Good content as always Bruce.
I know it’s been extensively covered but I’m curious about what you think of the Jon Bonet Ramsey case, the brother and Dr. Phil’s coverage /interview with the brother (which didn’t seem overly objective). If I remember correctly, Dr. Phil had the same lawyer as the family.
The last thing the world needs is more JBR content.
"Mean Mugging" + "I figured he might have got one or maybe two in..." Beautiful!
Bruce really said lucky for that prosecutor we got an acquittal lol
When are you going to do that big breakdown of released documents from the Depp/Heard trial? It's been over three months since you announced a deep dive on the documents was to come.
I’m surprised that the judge for Rittenhouse’s case wasn’t here for him going off on the prosecutor. That’s still the first moment I think of when I think of courtroom outbursts
Hey have you ever thought about having a special guest once a month to do a review with you? An expert in the area of the video or even the person or attorney from the video? Just a suggestion ✌️💙
U ask what we like, personally I love Those little stories from your own experience like todays about guy who leaned over to you. Heard some great little mentions from you here and there, always fascinating.
Lots of love to you from 🇨🇦
This was a good one!
Bruce rivers you ROCK! LOVE your show!
Love these!
Love the channel. Not once have i talked to police and not regretted it, never been arrested, never been fined. Yet somehow they always find something in wathever i say to creatively interpret it as suspicious in some way.
Love this!
All good stuff. Thank you
